Jojo Stardust Crusaders - Tumblr Posts

Another thing ANOTHER THING Jotaro is fucking huge in my mind, right??? Right okay so consider this

Pole-raft (Polneraff) is being a little French fried fuck right??? Annoying Jotaro somehow and Kakyoin is hanging out with Avdol in the kitchen so he’s not around to stare autistically at Pol until he gets scared and leaves

So it’s just Jotaro and Pol in a room down the hall. Kakyoin is enjoying some calm topics of convo with Avdol and a cup of some nice beverage and then Pol streaks past them like a bowl of jelly up a vacuum tube

They’re both barely even able to really be like ‘wait wtf’ until he’s out the door

Then the liquid inside their cups do that ripple thing

Then the tables shake a little filling the room with ominous sounds of candles tinking together, like Godzilla was humping their fucking house.

And then BAM BAM BAM BAM Jotaro is fucking BLASTING out the door after him like Heel Fucking First into the hardwood floor

Which is an uber neat idea to me because this implies Jotaro has never ran really anywhere else that wasn’t solid ground and the MINUTE he’s in a slightly older, rickety house everyone is violently reminded of how heavy he is

Whenever I really don’t want to do something I pretend a fictional character is going with me

Like guess who’s coming to church????

Jotaro kujo

I really want Jotaro to be one of those people who bear hug the closest person next to them when their scared if just so I could have a scene like this

I really like the dynamic I’ve created for Jotaro and Kakyoin in a modern day setting.

Like, Jotaro got an after school gig and instead of going to college he’s took a gap year off the funds of said job, which is like some sort of warehouse or labourer thing because he can dead-lift three hundred pounds.

(The fact that he can deadlift three hundred pounds is also why his manager lets him smoke and drink outside on his breaks as long as nobody else sees him and it doesn’t affect his work, which is doesn’t because a can of beer isn’t going to knock him on his ass being 6’5 and like two hundred pounds himself*)

And Kakyoin is in college for some sort of business something because he also doesn’t know what to do but his very traditional Japanese parents overseas refuse to raise a NEET so he picked whatever had the highest graduate rate and games alone in his apartment after classes.

They’re roommates now but had been friends since they were kids and had reconnected literally by chance, as Jotaro had been working at said labourering gig at that time to pay for his Mom’s medical bills.

Side note: in this au Holly’s sick but more chronic illness sick, and after Sadao realized she wasn’t getting better and, in fact, it was a lifelong illness, he told her to leave. As the Japanese High End music industry is extremely judgmental and he was advised by several of his coworkers (and mistresses) that it would ruin his image if he was branded as a nurse and homebody taking care of Holly while Jotaro was at school.

With that in mind, Jotaro and Holly moved to America to live with Holly’s father, Joseph. Who is considerably more racist and far less charming for people to over look said racism. Suzy Q, his late ex wife and Holly’s bio-mom, noticed that after he gained a few pounds and suddenly didn’t have pretty privilege anymore.

She still barges into Joseph’s house to visit Holly and Jotaro, much to Joseph’s dismay. Jotaro likes her but finds her pushy and touchy without asking for permission first.

Jotaro worked at the same job he does now immediately after school to avoid the jokes and pokes at his father and about his race from Joseph, and seeing his mother try to walk again and cry when she can’t— Lining up perfectly one day when Kakyoin was walking (having just recently moved from overseas into the area of Jotaro’s job site) back from a later class.

Looking up from his phone he saw Jotaro, who was looking right at him from across the road, past the wire fencing set up to stop anyone from getting into the site and messing with the machines.

Kakyoin didn’t recognize Jotaro nearly as quickly as Jotaro recognized him. So as Jotaro long-jumped over the fencing and came barrelling into the street to the sidewalk where he stood, there was a split second where he thought he was going to die by the hands of a two hundred and fifty pound silverback gorilla. Like in the bootleg movie he had just watched the night before. And he wondered if this was the digital pirating god finally taking his dues.

Quickly, I should note, I remember seeing a post somewhere about how Jotaro’s love language is soft but he’d never let you get that close to him (the post included a picture of a teddy bear in a steel cage to represent this) and I think that fits very well with my own fanon interpretation of Jotaro’s character.

However, I do also think after so much time spent trying to help his mother, dealing with the weight of having to be the only reliable shoulder for her to cry on (because we all know THIS Joseph doesn’t have a emotionally intelligent bone in his body) and also the crushing feeling of grinding your body into a pulp for both school and some labouring job you hate— after about the year or so he had been there— would have had him clinging to those hinges by his fingernails.

So, bam! The last comfort of his childhood that hadn’t been ripped away, standing awkwardly at the crosswalk because he wasn’t sure if he should jaywalk because there were no cars coming, or if he should wait because the statistics of automobile casualties due to the average pedestrian’s immortality complex when it comes to giant metal machines are flicking behind his eyelids— obviously, Jotaro loses his mind.

Imagine a black bear. Giant. Huge, okay? Got that?

That’s what Kakyoin was suffocating into as Jotaro hugged him so hard his pre-mature stand popped out a little from his back.

This Kakyoin, having no fighting instincts what-so-ever, kind of just goes limp. And Jotaro, so happy he’s really really upset, shakily puts him back down.

And then there’s a moment like, wait wait wait wait. . . I know that mean mug— and then Kakyoin sort of connects the dots because Jotaro had always been a lot taller than him and also he literally was the only person Kakyoin had ever known that had let him blow out his birthday candles at his seventh birthday party when he found out Kakyoin’s parents didn’t ’believe in birthdays’ other than ‘milestone birthdays’.

And Jotaro had also treated him with basic human decency, considering he could have very easily bullied him.

So his face was burned into his memory for years now, whenever he tried to socialize and said the wrong thing, or if he saw a friend group doing friend group activities and suddenly he felt very very lonely. He actually really missed his and Jotaro’s friendship.

So they became best friends again like immediately.

It turns out in their time apart, Kakyoin had gotten an Autism diagnosis, which explained his unusual speech pacing and all the other things leading to ruthless bullying in middle school.

When he told him this on the floor of Kakyoin’s apartment— both of them doing a Pokémon themed puzzle together even though Jotaro had trouble picking the pieces off the floor— Jotaro could not have given less of a shit, but instead asked if that’s why, when the were kids, Kakyoin had always asked him for ‘pressure’ (AKA, Jotaro being taller than Kakyoin made it so he could give him a hug or lay on top of him in order to provide a good sensory feeling, or what Kakyoin had called ‘Pressure’).

And Kakyoin’s like, ‘Yeah.’

And Jotaro’s like, ‘Do you need some now?’ And mutters something about not wanting him to freak because he’s over whelmed or anything but really he wants a hug and doesn’t want to be the one to ask.

And Kakyoin’s like, ‘Sure. That’d be nice because I couldn’t enjoy the other hug properly when thinking you were a stranger trying to kill me’.

And now they’re roommates and Kakyoin streams his gaming seshes after he realized his parent’s monthly payments towards his rent were giving them ammo for guilt-trips and that he could make money off of games.

Weirdly enough, the same speech abnormalities he got bullied for actually helped him get his streaming platform, as it became his ‘brand’ in a way. Same thing with his flat humour and ‘fun facts’. Also, because he talks so much, his streams are very long, and there’s a running joke in his audience to— when he’s saying he’s going to log off for the night— ask him questions and see how long they can keep him on stream.

He doesn’t have a face cam, and plans to remain faceless to his audience, so whenever he really needs to focus and Jotaro comes lumbering in from a hard day at work and kicks his shoes off, Kakyoin—laying on the couch—raises his arms with his controller clicking over his head, not looking away from the screen, and is like ‘Jotaro, pressure. Streaming.’

And Jotaro hears Ode To Joy playing in his head as he tosses his ballcap with the company’s logo somewhere behind the tv and falls facefirst onto Kakyoin, who, after getting the air pressed out of his lungs, wins his match and talks to the chat.

The chat, obviously, asks about Jotaro, and Kakyoin just says, ‘A good friend of mine gifts me plus five stamina.’ Or some nerd shit.

* I headcannon Jotaro as fucking huge btw but that’s because I love very large angry men who, when relaxed, melts into a puddle of goo because their muscles aren’t straining. Jotaro has that kind of physique. Suzie Q (being Italian) loves this as Jotaro burns more calories flexing all day because he’s so stressed and tensed about everything, than a two mile sprint. So he eats. A lot. He’s one of the only people who actually eats enough not to have left overs. It impresses Joseph more than he’d ever admit.

Ah yes Sadao Kujo and his giant fucking son

Kakyoin ate a bug once

He was hungry. I ate a lot of road salt as a kid so I get picking up things and making them edible.

i have an issue

I like the idea of Kakyoin’s being book smart and Jotaro street smart and despite that they would still look up at an eclipse and burn their retinas at the same time

I think of shitposting about Kakyoin and Jotaro being randomly tossed into modern times. Which includes Kakyoin being the only one who learns meme culture and media references, all while dealing with the usual jjba level enemy stand shenanigans.

*guy tied to a chair in some dingy abandoned location*

Jotaro, to Kakyoin: “Do you think he has a stand?”

Kakyoin, leaning on the doorframe: “Allow me to check.”

He releases Hierophant Green followed by dead silence for about five seconds.

Jotaro, squinting into the distance: “What the fuck was that?”

Kakyoin, deadass: “The stanky leg.”

I had a thought of how Jotaro, at some point, probably got tired of being the team’s Saitami.

Translation:

Not good. That stand over there is very big. . .

Ah, excuse me.

I love it when authors make their unrealistically buff characters seem smaller not by actually making them smaller, but rather by putting them next to an even bigger, unrealistically buff character. Like, Kakyoin only looks small because he’s beside JOTARO ninety percent of the time. It’s like putting a monster truck next to a fighter one jet.

I just started the part 3 manga, and I think a lot of my problems with jotaro are specific to the anime. I never really thought of the animation as “stiff,” but in the manga, jotaro has a lot of subtle expressions that give the impression that this is a scared kid trying his best to act tough. In the anime however, his expressions are so unmoving that he just comes across as a one-dimensional “tough guy” type. In the manga, he’s a dick to his mother bc that’s what teenagers do when they’re stressed. In the anime, he’s a dick to his mother bc he is a dick. In the anime, jotaro tries to kill avdol for no reason. In the manga, he begs avdol not to interfere because he’s afraid of killing him.

Also, in the anime, he calls star platinum an evil spirit, and as the audience you’re just like, oh this seems like a neutral spirit- he must think it’s evil for superstitious reasons. In the manga, star platinum can talk independently from jotaro’s thoughts, and threatens avdol with no input from him. Also the first close up of star platinum looks like this. Which is, to put it nicely, fucking terrifying. He looks like N’doul.

So it’s like, oh okay, I get it now. Jotaro is completely understandable.

Omg my favourite pairing!!! Horrible creature and his ugly fucking boyfriend!!! Omg haiiii!!!!

Additionally to the jotakak:

I love love love making my favourite ship unrecognizable and ridiculous, I love love love it!!

Kakyoin: Well, I had a great night, but I do have to skee-daddle!

Kakyoin thinking: Jesus Noriaki, ‘I have to skee-daddle?’ You just boned the hottest guy ever— get a grip. SKEE-DADDLE REALLY WHAGDNAKKSNF

Kakyoin: Jojo? Have you seen my retainer?

Jotaro is a praying mantis AU except Kakyoin is just some guy and Jotaro is ftm trans

One might say it’s insensitive to make Jotaro still exhibit female praying mantis behaviours when he is trans masc but I think it doesn’t matter too much because he’s a fucking seven foot praying mantis and nobody can tell me the difference anyways

No the real reason Jotaro stopped being gay after the events of sdc is because he saw Dio monologuing in those fugly ass boots and varicose veins and all of it was stripped from his body like some sort of miracle of Christ

Good to know the start of The Mask could also double as the start of stardust crusaders

I have questioned, because we don’t actually ever see Holly again after part three, if she ends up passing away near the events of part six, but then I realize how silly that would be because Jotaro would have fucking lost it and wouldn’t have even been out of bed let alone fighting the powers of GOD.

But I have an image in my head of Jotaro, with a big storage crate of VHS tapes, sitting crosslegged on the floor in front an old box tv in his and Holly’s house. He’s watching one of his fourth birthday, where he made such a fuss about being filmed she had to stop the tape for a minute to persuade him. When it kicks back on again, there’s Jotaro, with navy blue shorts and little suspenders, with a party hat on. He’s glaring into the lense, but he doesn’t glare up at his mother. Instead, he looks down at the grass.

“Oh Jojo, you’ve grown up so much already. Slow down! Stop it!” She’s giggling, and the camera is shaking with it. Kid Jotaro can’t help but join in, and this Jotaro, sitting there in the empty house, rewinds the tape.

“Oh Jojo, you’ve grown up so much already. Slow down! Stop it!” She’s giggling, and the camera shakes with it.

“Oh Jojo, you’ve grown up so much already. Slow down! Stop it—!”

“Oh Jojo, you’ve grown up so much already. Slow—!”

“Oh Jojo, you’ve grown up so much already—”

“Oh Jojo. . .”

I love it when I see fanart of Jotaro right in the midst of his fight with Dio where Dio’s gloating or something and the artist depicts Jotaro like this
