mista is NOT stinky. i doubt someone who wears designer wouldn't care about his hygiene, especially someone like mista who we see literally pause a mission to feed his stand. (+ they had literally just fought green day and oasis before trish's comment. so yea, maybe he needed some deodorant in the moment but dont lie and say he smells all the time.)
mista is NOT lazy. he's laid back. there's a difference!!.......and even with that, when he's fighting his resolve shines over his natural state to the point that he's able to take multiple bullets and keep fighting. after fighting zucchero on the ship, mista volunteers to go with giorno. that's not at all what a lazy person would act like.
can i be honest...... as much as i love ff in all forms.... i do wish there was a little bit more of them in their stand form. especially this hybrid form.. genuinely this is SO COOL.
what labels i think each of the jojos fit under with some additional thoughts on their behaviors around romance/romantic love (parts 1-8). figured it was about time.
jonathan - demiromantic !!!
i dont think he ever realizes this, especially since i think he's romance favorable. he doesn't really see a lot of the stereotypical romantic gestures as inherently romantic. he also doesn't hold his romantic relationship above his platonic ones. he'll gladly drop everything for a friend, without a second thought.
joseph - demiromantic!!
+ he's also a bit of a recipromantic. i see him as fluctuating between romance favorable and neutral. when it's clear someone is romantically interested in him and if he's bonded with them, he may start feeling some type of way about it. i think he realizes something is different about the way he experiences romance but i dont think he'd be bothered with labels aside from being bisexual tbh.
jotaro - aromantic !!!
he fluctuates between romance repulsed and romance neutral. he is not a fan of overtly romantic things and is pretty easily repulsed by them too. i also see him as asexual as well btw. in my head, everything that happened with his ex-wife was because she didn't understand why he was so easily upset by romantic things (and the fact that he thinks protecting people means he has to stay away, both physically and emotionally, but that's another topic for another day).
josuke - aroflux!!
mostly because otherwise, i think he'd be cycling through various aro identities. i really don't think josuke can tell the difference between the different forms of attraction. he gets "crushes'"on people without realizing it's platonic or aesthetic, etc, not romantic. when he daydreams about his future, he doesn't think about being married, instead it's about him living in a house with all his friends when he gets older. he doesn't really care all that much about finding a romantic partner. he sees his mom doing it alone and he knows he'd be ok if he was alone too. and that's the start of his realizations.
giorno - aromantic!!
he fluctuates between favorable, neutral, and repulsed, it really depends. he sometimes does not realize people are flirting with him, not because he doesn't care, he's just thinking about other things and doesn't notice. he constantly gets frustrated at why romantic love is so important in society and will point it out too. also asexual as well!!
sidenote: seeing other people headcanoning him as aroace too makes me SO happy. when i watched golden wind i just knew he was aroace and that lowkey inspired this blog (a little lore for you )
jolyne - grayromantic!!
i think she realizes shes a lesbian and aromantic at around the same time, sometime in prison. she shifts between romance neutral and repulsed. she does NOT like being flirted with unless its her partner. despite being all cutesy w romeo i think it was a front and that she really does not like being so overtly cutesy and romantic. (btw i see irene as being somewhere between grayromantic and cupioromantic, heavily romance favorable)
johnny - demiromantic!!
(just like jonathan teehee) i can also see aroflux for him too. i see him being romance neutral but slowly shifting into overall more romance favorable. i see him as being really curious about all things romantic love. he gets a weird feeling and hes immediately like "are these the butterflies everyone talks about...??"
gappy - cupioromantic!!
he's the aromantic hopeless romantic. highly romance favorable. he can be repulsed at times though. he gets really upset at anyone saying "guy and girls can't be friends". similar to josuke, i think he also has a hard time defining what attraction he experiences. karera tries to help explain it but it just confuses him even more. also he's asexual!!
i really like that theres a difference between kakyoin w the fleshbud and without!!
with the fleshbud he's more serious and sinister and almost vindictive. especially in how he uses his stand as a tool to possess an innocent woman who had nothing to do w the fight. after he loses the fleshbud i dont even think he ever uses possession again* (aside from DEATH 13, which is a stand that he was rightfully pissed off about). with the fleshbud i also theorize that he's a lot less careful. i guess he assumes that jotaro's never faced a stand and that he can kill jotaro easily... but throughout the rest of stardust crusaders kakyoin is one of the most observant in the group.
without the fleshbud, kakyoin is in fact, so observant to the point of almost being paranoid. he's pretty much the first one of the crusaders to notice when something doesn't feel right, even if he can't attribute a reason to it. (id argue hes more observant than jotaro even...)
in summary.... i think that dio's fleshbud somehow infects its victim with a piece of dio's hatred and his evil, giving them a tiny fraction of that to break their will.
