joseph for the meta meme? :eyes:
Send me a topic to write a meta about my muse on【always accepting】@outplays
There’s so much I could write about this one I don’t even know where to begin! Okay, by this point, it’s no news to anyone that Speedy loves Joseph dearly, and it seems to be the same the other way around as well (judging by some of the events shown throughout Battle Tendency). I have these headcanons that these two have always kind of teamed up and became some sort of partners in crime since Joseph was little. “Crime” as in Speedy would sometimes bring in extra candies to share with little Jojo behind Erina’s back ─god bless her for dealing with these two tbh─ and stuff of that sort. Speedy has always played the “cool parent” role in my views, always bringing (or sending, whenever he’s far away for super long periods of time due to work stuff) presents for Jojo to enjoy: Comic books, toys, etc. You name them, really.
And, of course, whenever he comes back, both are super excited to see each other to the point where, after a long day of spending time together, they end up falling asleep on the couch while Speedy was reading Jojo a story. This whole dynamic changes as Joseph grows up, though, but it remains somewhat the same in some aspects, with them spending some quality time together and still being partners in crime. This time a bit more in a “hey, uncle Speedy… teach me how to pickpocket like a pro!!” kind of way. And Speedwagon is reluctant at first but, after a good while with Joseph asking him nonstop, he finally ends up teaching him a bunch of the tricks he learned during his Ogre Street days ─y’know, cool and innocent stuff like mugging, using knives (the bowler hat, included), how to shoot guns, how to properly hide the evidence of some of your crimes, and stuff like that─, not before making Jojo promise he won’t tell his Granny about any of this EVER (though she eventually finds out and Robert fears for his life like he hasn’t in a long time, but that’s another story).
In general, it doesn’t matter how much of a little shit Joseph can be at times and all the trouble he might get himself and Speedy (sometimes) too into, his uncle loves him dearly and always will, and will always be by his side, even after death, ‘cause, y’know, the Speedwagon Foundation ;’D
I almost forget to mention that Speedwagon also loves to tell Jojo stories about Jonathan and George II and all the great things both did, and how much of a gentleman both were, and how proud Joseph should be of being a Joestar. Same applies to Lisa Lisa, who he also has told him stories about. The stories about her aren’t as many as those about the other two, though, this due to the fact that he didn’t get the chance to spend as much time with her after Straizo adopted her.
There’re some other bits I could add here, but those go more down the angsty road, so I figured I’d cover the happier ones here only. I can add the sad stuff later too if you wish! So just let me know!
