close up of my other favorite part of this piece (i love tumblr but wish the zoom feature was better ;v; )

there's no pain quite like writing a beautiful line of dialogue and description...only to realize it does not fit the desired story direction and we have to delete it ;u;

Separate upload of the art in yesterday's headcanon post because I put a lot of work into it (and so people can see it while avoiding the sensitive content)

random jotaro headcanons #3: stardust crusaders edition

part 1 part 2 part 4

15. Jotaro had never left Japan prior to the events of Stardust Crusaders - after the Egypt trip was over, traveling internationally constantly gave Jotaro anxiety, which later worsened into hodophobia (fear of travel)

Jotaro hunted for Stand Arrows on the American and Asian continents because they were the most familiar and felt safest to travel...but the hunt didn't last long -

Jotaro's hodophobia quickly grew so severe that he stopped traveling anywhere outside of North America or Japan (and by the time of Stone Ocean, he had stopped traveling to Japan too)

this is why he never went after Polnareff or Giorno himself

16. Kakyoin and Jotaro only roomed together once during the crusade, the day before the Yellow Temperance encounter - afterwards, Kakyoin always roomed with Polnareff, while Jotaro roomed with Joseph and Avdol

the teenagers got into a heated argument that night, creating a sore spot between them that was never fully reconciled (even though both tried to be amicable to each other from then on)

the next morning, Kakyoin went for a walk to give himself space from Jotaro, giving Rubber Soul the perfect opportunity to take his place

nobody but them knows what the argument was about

17. Jotaro fully intended to compensate the boy whose popsicle he took - unfortunately, the aftermath of the Rubber Soul fight caused panic in the area, forcing Jotaro to flee so he couldn't get arrested by the local authorities

18. Jotaro is oddly fireproof - somehow, he did not get a single burn after Wheel of Fortune set his entire body, from the inside out, on fire

The only evidence that Jotaro had been set on fire was his bullet wounds, which were apparently cauterized as they had stopped bleeding by the time he emerged from underground

19. Jotaro bears resemblance to Polnareff's sister, Chérie - primarily through his bright blue eyes, dark curly hair, and introverted nature

this is why Polnareff always remained fond of Jotaro throughout their trip, even though Jotaro was initially quite cold towards him and shrugged off his earlier attempts to be friendly

it was after learning of the resemblance that Jotaro became gentler to Polnareff and more receptive to his friendship - this then developed into a brotherly bond that would endure past the crusade

20. Polnareff was right📫︎︎︎︎ ☺︎︎□︎︎⧫︎︎♋︎︎❒︎︎□︎︎ ⬥︎♋︎⬧︎ ♋︎ ⬥︎︎︎︎□︎︎︎︎❍︎︎︎︎♋︎︎︎︎■︎︎︎︎ ♓︎︎︎︎■︎︎︎︎ ♋︎︎︎︎ ◻︎︎︎︎♋︎︎︎︎⬧︎︎︎︎⧫︎︎︎︎ ●︎︎︎︎♓︎︎︎︎♐︎︎︎︎♏︎︎︎︎📬︎︎ ☟︎︎♏︎︎❒︎︎ ■︎︎♋︎︎❍︎︎♏︎︎ ⬥︎︎♋︎︎⬧︎︎

21. despite eventually developing a friendship with every Crusader, Jotaro still kept the others from getting truly close to him (with the exception of Joseph and Iggy)

22. While Jotaro had gotten into serious fights before getting his Stand, the crusade to Egypt was his first time facing life-or-death stakes...

...and thanks to the natural attraction of Stand users to each other (plus the extensiveness of DIO's influence), this lifestyle of constantly fighting for survival would become Jotaro's normality for the rest of his canon life.

Jotaro was born in the Year of the Dog, his favorite movie is Never Cry Wolf, he was very fond of Iggy, and he's always wanted a dog as a pet...

...So, how did he end up choosing to adopt a cat?

(art from 2022 - old username watermark lmao)

The answer is simple: he didn't - Scooter adopted him!

Scooter is just a normal Earth cat, not having a Stand (or any unusual abilities). What he lacks in power, he makes up for in tenacity and loyalty: Scooter adores Jotaro and always wants to be with his human - and has even adapted to riding on Jotaro's shoulders so they can stay together more often.

Jotaro doesn't understand why this stray cat chose to follow him, let alone love him, but maybe Scooter sees something in Jotaro that he can't...

JoJo's Bizarre Isekai "Draw the Squad" memes from 2022

this is old/outdated art we've been fond of for a while (these are actually pre-JJBI and were made for the RP that inspired it), but haven't uploaded because there's no context for most of these characters yet

decided to just say "fuck it" and post it all today

Jihyun (w/ eyebrow slit) and Chubs (pink bird) belong to @ musixx.__

when you're trying to be an edgy loner but you got adopted by a family that loves you unconditionally: ⬇️

also we're unable to upload the full versions of these but here's highlights from two more squad memes
