(Not a req!) ok so- idk if ur ok with Avpol or not,but since you seem like a pretty cool dude I wanna hear your thoughts- what do you think would happen in an AU where Polnareff had died instead of Avdol?
avpol is a pretty rad ship!!!
avdol really shaped polnareff and was crucial in his development - while pol may get on his nerves to a certain degree, he does deeply care for him and see he is making improvements. and in turn, pol really came to respect avdol and he really helps loosen up him up. i see their relationship kind of like a mentorship but they honestly help improve each other?? with avdol being more in tuned with his stand abilities and its capabilities and pol kind of being a cocky bastard but becoming more dedicated along the journey to eygpt.
they really help each other in their own way. i think pol really shows how the events of pt 3 kind of impacted his personality and how he’s no longer to goofy and eccentric man in pt 5 and i honestly chalk that up to the loss of his friends + becoming so close to knocking a heaven’s door. he survived but i think since being defeated by diavolo, he really began to heed the words of avdol, and began to ponder about what he would do in this kind of situation.
but if avdol survived and polnareff died - i believe any of pol’s charms and wits that rubbed on avdol would drain. he would feel responsible for not keeping a closer eye out for the younger man and he’s going to be cruel and make suffer vanilla ice suffer when he’s able to get the drop on him, being the more experienced stand user but his usual logic and analytical skills may be flown out the window since he truly is enraged by pol’s demise.
once dio is defeated, he still keeps in contact with joseph and jotaro... but the joestar men are going to notice he’s quite cold and private, his smile seems to be haunted, his laughter is no longer warm. but his eyes do twinkle when they reminisce over pol, kak, and iggy. but after returning to his home, he’s going to feel guilt and wonder why he didn’t sense another stand user; pol deserves to be here. if he were to replace pol in pt 5, he will have a complete disregard for his surrounding but will ensure everyone is safe and secure. he locks away all of pol’s crude jokes and warm smiles and buries it deep within his heart.
