homoerotic af moments in the "man who shot dio" scene that make me question if araki wrote them that way on purpose (presented in chronological order):
hol horse finds like 4 dead women on the ground and thinks, "i dont get why women are so into dio (sexually). but i guess hes just got that sort of evil charisma. i mean id never throw myself at him" put a pin in this.
hol horse goes into the library and the first shot of dio we see in this scene is his ass
every time dio speaks hol horse starts sweating and trembling. we know hes a coward but also none of the other people dio talks to are as distraught as him aside from avdol and you know what avdol was thinking
ok so. dio Takes Hol's Cigarette Out of his Mouth.
burns his fingertips.
and puts it back in his mouth. (we can assume. cause he has it again next time we see his face) literally having gay sex would be less gay. ?????
after dio stops time and appears behind hol horse he literally gets less than half a foot away from him and seductively whispers in his ear something along the lines of "i like you. when you were about to shoot me, your breathing was steady." hol horse is either gods strongest or most cowardly soldier for not turning around and making out with him right there
lets take the pin out from the beginning: after dio leaves hol horse kneels down and says something like "i get it now. ill serve you until the end of time." bringing it right back to the beginning. let me translate: "ohhh i get it now, why women have sex with dudes who are evil. its because evil is hot."
and im not even making any of those jokes like "gay af to be an assassin, whos ass are you in" this is all just great gatsby elevator scene level of really obvious subtext
like dio probably just stepped out to grab lube istg.
in conclusion:
what
