cosmictrashbin replied to your post “Discussion time! What are your favorite Jotaro headcanons?”
It's so dumb but?? I laugh at the idea that maybe, just maybe, Jotaro tried reading Pink Dark Boy /once/ during DiU
I feel like this could be an un-noteworthy, mediocre headcanon, if not for the fact that you said “tried” and “once”... What did this poor man go through reading that manga. I’m dying holy shit this is way funnier than it should be
✋+ So...For Tenmei's dad, how do ya feel about your son?
Haruto Kakyoin, a supercilious man who has trouble considering the world around him.He puts devotion into his work because it's a systematic route for him, something familiar for him to catch onto- Change is a big fear of his, and since his work is a run of the mill paperwork-filled CEO job, it's easy to have everything organized and in place, a good grasp on reality that allows him to remain resilient. He tends to have very little free time, and when he does, it's usually spent on what others may consider mundane hobbies that have become an easy way for him to vent his frustrations of work -- Mostly photography and skipping stones at the pond near home, taking in what little silence he's allowed to have.
He and his daughter -- Son -- He was still getting used to that, but he was trying his best, for the sake of his son -- weren’t on the best of terms.
Admittedly, he was close minded, and hot headed, and a lot of the things he did ended up becoming quick regrets of his. He’d done so much shit to try and keep his son from hating him, but in the midst of all his hard work, he’d never realized how much he isolated the two of them and kept them from genuinely growing closer. Enough so, that Tenmei had left home as soon as he was allowed the chance. He’d packed his things, screamed at his father, and was gone without a single hesitation. Every evidence of him being there was gone, like he hadn’t even had a son in the first place.
He was trying his best to be the father he never was.
So when he’s questioned how he feels about his son, it’s obvious that the topic is awkward for him as soon as it’s presented -- An awkward cough or two, a careful massaging of his neck, and he looks visibly saddened.
“I hate how much he tends to close himself off from others -- It’s always something I’ve hated. Even as a child, it was difficult to tell what he was thinking, or what he wanted, or what he needed. It’s what’s stopping us from being closer now...And I’m aware it’s my partly my fault...I’ve only worsened his state from how he used to be.” Haruto sighs. “But I know that he doesn’t mean to put himself like this. I know he’s still afraid of me, even now, all because of a very harsh and rash decision I made recently...But I’m trying my best to mend it. I’ll get there one day, or at least, I’ll try to. Even if all of this was unheard of in my time, and everything s-- He’s still telling me is new, I’m trying my best to give him what he deserved as a kid.” Another sigh, this one more exasperated than the last.
