A panicked shuffling yanked you from your slumber. Through your squinted eyes you could roughly make out the form of your boyfriend scurrying away into the bathroom.

“Tooru? What’s going on?” You muttered groggily, turning to the digital clock at your bedside. 4:27AM?

“N-nothing! Go back to sleep!!” Tooru practically shouted from the confines of your shared ensuite bathroom. You were about to fall into the arms of slumber again until you heard a horrible gagging noise. Oh shit.

Rushing to the bathroom, you’re met with the sight of him hunching over the toilet seat, tears pricking the corners of his eyes as he looked at you with a pained and pleading expression. You wasted no time in pulling away his now scruffy and unkempt hair away from his face with one hand and rubbing gentle circles on his back with another as he continued gagging and spluttering the contents of his stomach. He continued for what felt like forever as you mumbled soft words of comfort into his ears. You could feel his body shaking and convulsing under your touch, poor thing. Your brows knitted with more and more concern the longer that this continued. Eventually, the spluttering and coughing died down to ragged breaths as Tooru slowly gathered his thoughts and turned to face you, sat on the floor.

“I’m sorry for worrying you, I really didn’t want you to see me like this…” He wiped the corners of his mouth with the back of his hand as he gazed into your eyes with sheepish guilt.

“Oh Tooru, it’s alright, don’t worry about me. I just want to make sure that you’re okay, that’s all. Let’s get you back to bed, and maybe you should take the day off tomorrow.” You said as you reached out to caress his shoulder with one hand.

“I don’t think I can afford a day off…”

“Love, how about we talk about this in the morning when your’e feeling a little better. There’s no point arguing on the bathroom floor.” You chuckled as you stood up and helped your boyfriend to his feet, leading him back to the bedroom. As soon as your head hit the pillow, you were out like a light.

- - -

The next morning, Tooru’s quiet shivering under the blanket woke you. Concerned, you lean onto your elbow to catch a better view of his face, and your heart drops. He looked so pale, and he was curled up in a foetal position to conserve as much warmth as possible even though it was summer. You checked his temperature with the back of your hand, and your fears were confirmed.

“What… are you doing…” A dazed and groggy Tooru stirred from his sleep from your touch and rolled over to face you, his nose nearly touching yours. He looked into your eyes with such softness, even when he was so sick.

“Tooru, there’s no way you can go work today, your clients can wait, honey.” You crooned, tilting your head.

Tooru rolled slightly away from you in protest and turned to stand up, “I have to, I need to sell the fruit, and find Tamaki Damo, I can’t even trust him to do one thing right, that Josuke guy’s probably got to him already-“

He fell backwards onto the bed, overcome with dizziness. He realised that you were right. Groaning in pain and exhaustion, Tooru had no choice but to give in to your demands and begrudgingly got back into bed.

You’ve never had to take care of a sick boyfriend before, so you went downstairs to get everything that you could think of to help him feel better. A warm damp towel, some medicines, and his favourite green tea. Of course, it has to be in his Elvis mug. It is Tooru, after all.

As soon as you opened the bedroom door holding your items, Tooru’s eyes flitted to you and a warm smile began to grow on his face as he saw what you’d brought with you.

“Aw, you didn’t have to get all that for me, baby” You set the mug down onto the bedside table next to him and placed the damp towel onto his forehead, and gave him the medicine to swallow.

“It’s the least I could do,” You smiled warmly at him as you pulled up a chair to sit beside him. He sat up slightly to take the medicine, picking up the mug. He swallowed the pills with a swig of the tea, and immediately grimaced.

“Ew, tea and medicine do not go well together..” He set the mug back down where you had put it earlier and settled back under the covers.

You shuffled closer to him as he turned to you, cradling the side of his face with one hand, stroking his cheek with your thumb, and holding his hand with the other.

His eyes fixated on yours as he squeezed your hand gently and leaned into your touch. Not breaking eye contact, he brought your hand up to his face to kiss the back. He held the kiss to your skin, lingering in his touch. Your chest filled with warmth at his actions, not daring to break eye contact. The silence between you spoke more about your feelings for each other than words ever could at that moment, the outside world melting away as each second passed.

It was Tooru that broke the charged silence between you, his words barely a whisper, “I’ve never had someone take care of me this way… no one’s ever done this for me before.“ You chuckled with endearment at his words, leaning into to press a chaste kiss onto his cheek.

“I’m here now, and I’m not going anywhere.” He smiled softly at your words, an unfamiliar but welcome warmth spreading through his body.

what is with stone in jojo?

i don't think i've really seen anything about it before, but i think that stone is a symbol for an important theme.

the stone masks (and vampires by extension)

the pillarmen

the rokakaka (but not the new rokakaka?)

the rock humans and insects

the rock disease

the lava rock

this covers a lot of different stuff - and i'm not even sure how it all links together.

my current thoughts is that it is the representation of equivalent exchange, and it's kinda parasitic nature.

the vampires are the best example - for the mask to activate, you need blood (exchange of a life for power) and to regenerate as a vampire, you also need blood (exchange of someone else's life for your own)

another link into this theme of parasitism is the rock humans - they parasitise societies, coasting on human success in the same way that fed from the bee hives in their youth.

in other words, i think this stone thing is kinda representative of the idea of a "zero sum game" - but that's just my theory, and i'm not even that sure of it.

hi!! could you make mint green jobin wallpapers? :D

Lowkey more real than mint green but I tried. But Jobin, although kinda misguided, is actually a really interesting character. Like idk about you guys but I wasn’t sure if I hated him or liked him.

[fauzhee10069]

Tooru and what the hell was he doing in 1941??

!major spoiler of JoJolion final chapter, stop if you haven’t read it!

What was Tooru actually doing in that chapter? I initially thought that it looked like he was planting Locacaca plants near Higashikata’s orchard. But then, where are the plants now? Why don't I see it in Higashikata’s orchard at present time (2011)?

Didn't the Higashikata family through Jobin get the Locacaca plant from Damokan Group who smuggled it from New Guinea? Why didn't Jobin just harvest them from his orchard? Seems that the plants Tooru planted are long gone, then what’s the point of him planting them in 1941?? Why have they gone?

At least that was what I thought initially.

But then, according to Tooru’s wikipage:

Then in JJL chapter 110’s wikipage:

Did he really plant Locacaca on the Higashikata’s orchard?

Or did he actually take Locacaca plant growing on the Higashikata’s orchard into a bucket and walk away with it?

Before we continue, let's first check whether it is actually Morioh’s hunting ground or Higashikata’s Orchard!

Now, let’s take a look at his scene in chapter 110:

JJL chapter 110: The Radio Gaga Incident - part 2

He brought a shovel and a bucket, of course the shovel was for digging the ground. Inside the bucket were Locacaca plants and he walked away with a bucket containing those plants!

Therefore it makes more sense if we conclude that he took Locacaca plants away from Higashikata’s orchard. But if so, doesn't that mean that the plants (once) grew there? Then who planted it there and how did its history come to be? To the point that the news reached Lucy and invited her to visit there…

According to the Timeline Log, Locacaca was discovered by Australians in New Guinea in 1938, the plants may have grown there long before that.

If Locacaca was already in Japan (more precisely on Higashikata’s orchard) around the 1940s, then someone must have brought it from New Guinea. Could it be Tooru who brought it from there?

Then why did he bring it to Japan, or more precisely, plant it on Higashikata's orchard?

JJL chapter 109: The Radio Gaga Incident – part 1

JJL chapter 99: Endless Calamity – part 5

Could this be Tooru's initial attempt to create the New Locacaca?

But why did he dig the plants out and take them away in a bucket?

Perhaps his experiment had failed, considering that the New Locacaca was created not by planting Locacaca directly in miraculous ground, but by grafting it with plants that have grown on that ground.

It's as if he got rid of Locacaca from Japan until finally allowing Damokan Group with their smuggling job to bring the fruits back to Japan, to the Higashikata family (through Jobin).

But what is the use of the smuggling team (Damokan Group)?

This might sound like a very well orchestrated masterplan, but that seemingly useless Damokan Group becomes very useful! Perhaps this is what Tooru planned carefully after he failed to create his own New Locacaca:

Using Damokan Group to collaborate with ambitious Jobin, which indirectly gives Higashikata access to Locacaca.

Ruining Rai’s family business, which led Rai with his talent in horticulture to work with the Higashikata family, a family that possesses a ground with unique property (equivalent exchange). He might had intended to direct Rai to that ground and make him cultivate “a whole new type of Locacaca” there.

Using Holy as the test subject, perhaps to lure her to do scientific analysis of Locacaca.

Introducing Kira Yoshikage to Locacaca via Damokan Group, leading him and Kujo Josefumi (an agricultural student) to create a new variant where the fruit has evolved into The “New Locacaca”.

Those four events may have happened by 'coincidence', but considering how Tooru’s Stand works, he can manipulate 'coincidences' at some point through calamity because...

TL;DR Tooru was planting Locacaca on Higashikata’s orchard with its ground possess miraculous ability, perhaps in an attempt to create The New Locacaca… but decided not to and move on to the next plan which eventually becomes the events of JoJolion story.

Also, Lucy's death caused by lung disease without completing her research on Locacaca could have been caused by calamity due to her trying to pursue Tooru.

EDIT:

It’s like if there was only one company capable of producing electricity. The entire world would be beholden to them.

Now I just realized, which the company this anon #227025482 might have referred to? Shinra Electric Power Company LOL

[lolobizarreadventuresshatpost]

In light of the new rumours and bit of information about that Jojoland project and such, and Araki coming back after part 8, I still haven’t lost hope in the fact part 9 has to be the clown academy part.
