I'm scared, why r ppl following my main, I haven't been posting shit 😭😭

[ketsuarting]

Fugo is a little nervous....

Ketsu why does fugo look so different but mista doesn't? Mainly because I REALLY like mistas fit and find fugos atrocious

Sigh okay from the top

See, I generally agree with the sentiment that Giorno as a saintly figure is more of an aesthetic choice than a narrative one. He is painfully human. It's an interesting contrast to his father actually, though Hirohiko Araki fails to capitalize on that by the virtue of him being wasteful with banger concepts all the fucking time.

But Bruno, Abbacchio, Fugo, Narancia and Mista are... Not saints either???

I think Fugo and Abbacchio don't need to be explained. If anything people usually misconstrue them as heartless or lacking conviction. But I'll still say that Abbacchio, while smart, jumps to conclusions and is very narrow-minded, while Fugo sometimes just lacks creativity.

Narancia is still pretty young, but I'm sorry, he's not THAT young. He made a very active choice that does not only put himself in harms way and makes him responsible for enacting violence, but he also disrespected the wishes of the man he supposedly respects.

Bruno... Oh Bruno. There is a very fine line between saving lost souls and grooming men on downtrodden paths into pawns. Bruno fails this balancing act spectacularly. I think he knows this. He constantly makes choices that go against his kinder nature, because he himself has been groomed to believe that sacrificing oneself for the organization/greater good is not only noble, but required.

Mista is pretty much just a dude. He runs in violent circles and response with appropriate levels of violence. The big differentiating factor between him and Narancia is that his choices are made with an understanding for the consequences, not just for himself but also for the people around him. There is a consideration that Nara (AND Giorno) lack.

And Giorno? Not a saint. Very goal oriented. Not above cashing in a favour in full. Also very respectful of other people's time and autonomy. He isn't above asking for help, but also always capable of taking responsibility and figuring his own shit out. In the end, if nobody cares to help, he'll still try. He's not dragging people down with him, but he's also not going to shun people off in some kind of misguided attempt of protecting others.

I think Fugo is so neat because he doesn't know what he wants so when u throw him into a situation he just desperately clammors for control.

He's very versatile like that. You can make him plausibly obsessed with any and everything

So excited for Mrs Robinson's 10 years on estrogen picture to be released to public, she's come such a long way since italy

[ketsuarting]

I do love Trish, I just don't think she meshes well with the main cast and psychopathy aside I genuinely believe she'd enjoy LA squadra s personalities much more

If they had kidnapped her they wouldn't have done shit to her. Hell. They would have used baby face to find the boss and probably kept her alive since they probably would work under the assumption that she makes for a good hostage until risotto clocks that the boss WANTS them to kill her at which point he'd adopt her and everyone becomes like an uncle/brother to her.

Genuinely believe that the infighting in the group and generally more mature identities would give her more time to find her footing.

Like. Idk. She is incredibly close to the brugang but the trauma bonding does a lot of the lifting. There is a reason why I am not as bothered by ppl writing her out of their part 5 fics, and it's not because she's a girl.

Do we actually know where the Brugang lived or is them living together in one house just one of those headcanons? Because I actually don't think they'd all live in the same house.

Bruno: definitely owns some kind of comfy apartment that he takes care of well. You can tell that he isn't really used to so little space, his old home, while cheap, was pretty spacious especially for two men after his mother left.

Fugo: probably lived with Bruno for a bit, but moved out soon enough into maybe a roof apartment. I know he used to be rich and there are definitely luxuries he misses, but I suspect that any kind of his own flat would be a freedom he never experienced before. He probably moved out too soon if anything. But he insisted and Bruno doesn't like leveraging his authority without ample reason, and while he might've found excuses in the beginning he'd run out of them eventually.

Abbacchio: he... Says he has a place. But he crashes as Brunos a lot and when he isn't there he's probably in some bar or alley getting shit faced. I know that the story treats his alcoholism a little like a passive fact, but I think that just means he is a high functioning addict that's very very very good at lying. Yes even to his friends. Addicts lie to their family to spare themselves the shame . When I feel particularly angsty I imagine that Abbacchio can't afford a flat with his alcohol habits.

Narancia: lives with fugo. Tried to move out but fugo won't let him and gets very upset whenever it gets brought up. Narancia studying so hard with fugo started when fugo had a whole spirale about narancia having no skills to actually run a household with. He couldn't even do basic math to keep his finances in order!!! Narancia will crash at Mista and Brunos, tho he avoids sleeping in the same house as abbacchio,mainly because the other is a very insufferable person to share a flat with and Brunos place is already cramped.

Mista: owns his own place and will sometimes invite his friends over but keeps a pretty healthy distance on it, unlike Bruno who gave all of them a key and encourages them to use his flat if necessary, Fugo who treats his home more like a safe house and Abbacchio who SAYS he has a place but really.... Where the hell is it. Why has no one ever seen it then?

Giorno (if the crew didn't implode a week after him joining): stays at the dorm but would also crash at Bruno's a lot, which Bruno would be happy about because I don't think he handles the days Abbacchio or Narancia aren't there well. Visits Mista and Fuego regularly too. Would probably enter through the window for perfectly valid reasons.
