I’m 99% sure Unicron is eating his metaphorical popcorn in the Standing, seeing his humans develop outlier-like powers and fighting each other.

It's his version of prime TV fr.

“What if the writing was more blatant” AU or “Standing AU” Blake- or what would be a “what if Blake didn’t quit the White Fang until she met Weiss, Yang and Ruby” AU.

Instead of having a flight response to her past, she has the opposite but equally self defeating trait of staying put, to the point it warped her appearance to fit her abusers’ image of her.

Though through new people she learns to stop being stuck in the same place, and gains a cool eyepatch I’m too lazy to draw. Overall the same progression as the show happens, just with some minor differences. The end result is the same as it is in canon!

Also that’s not a “brand” like Adam’s, it’s a literal burn/scar.

You know reading your block has given me immense joy ever since i discovered it and i just have to say,i would love to see what you would cook up if the humans were stand user like in jojo, There's many ways to get a stand in jojo but i think it would be a wall eyes/blessed Lands but It's cause of unicron like you could make Silus and MECH be stand user as well it would basically be part 8 but with cybertronians and i would also love to see their reactions to the kids crying to explain and describe their stand since i think the bots and the cons with exception of Megatron from his dark energon addiction and Optimus cause of the matrix of leadership also it would be fun to see what type of stands the kids would manifest for example Raph would probably have a stand that doesn't have combat power but would İnteract with technology in ways that wouldnt otherwise be possible while Jack could have a stand that he can wear and can turn İnto a motor cycle for him to ride and basically be his own transformer, i would also love to see what names you would give them but i think it would be Miko who names them definitelly since stands tend to be named after musical references, you could also have Jack and Raf be natural stand user and Miko be an awakened one since in this scenario Jasper is basically Morioh with robot aliens which wouldnt be that bizarre in jojo given It's well jojo but i just wanna see what your take of a Miko with a stand would be

Hehe thank you for the compliment!! :3

Unicron being responsible for Jojo makes lots of sense honestly. I don't know too much about the show or stands (besides the memes of course) so I'm just going off instinct here and a quick scan through a wiki.

Raf

Stand ability: Technical appraisal.

When [insert stand user name] set their gaze upon any piece of robotics or technology they can learn any information about the subject; how old it is, the color, any materials, and their weaknesses. The stand must have at least 90% of the target unobstructed by any object or the ability will not activate. As Raf grows stronger so will the level of detail of the information.

Jack

Stand ability: Head-start.

If in a battle or race [insert stand user name] will always be at least 25% faster than the enemy. “Enemy” is determined by any hostile intentions towards Jack or his stand. When Jack gets stronger the faster he is of his enemies.

Miko

Stand ability: Uhhh idk.

I have been trying to think of powers Miko won't cause war crimes with but my mind's blank.

I feel like in the stand User au The bots would trust the kids much more since like them their lives are always in danger aswell as even if a stand User tries to hide their stand by just not using it they will inevitably be dragged into situation where they straight up forced to use their stand to survive whether it be a another stand user trying to kill them because in jojo canon when two stand users meet they usually duke it out until one of them either gives up or dies or just a situation where they are cornered with no other way out and it just makes it all the more tragic if the bots learned that the kids never had a chance to lead normal lives even if they didnt got themselves involved with the war they would still have been put into lige threatining situations,i also would like to see a conversation between Jack and Arcee about Jack's dad and her being terrified of how young stand users die because of their circumstances would be good angst material

Oooh, that's a good point!!

Very delicious idea about the kids being so casually used to the idea of dying or having to kill to survive. Like statistically speaking how many people would they have to or already killed?? Hmm, something to ponder on.

The war in comparison would just be a average Tuesday especially considering how- bizarre the Jojo universe is. *budum tiss*

Ooh yeah definitely good angst!

Here's a little chat for you!

=======================================

*The kids talking about family pictures.*

Miko: Hey, Jack you gotta any pictures of your own father??

Jack: Yeah, I do actually. *Shows them the picture*

Raf & Miko: Wowwww.

Raf: How old is he?? He looks old.

Jack: 45, actually. I think he was 51 before he died.

Miko: Wow, low-key impressive.

Raf: Yeah.

Arcee: Isn't that short..? Even by human standards?

Raf: Usually, but... uh.. stand users don't really last that long...

Arcee: What?!

Jack: It is true, when stand users meet we almost always fight to death, so most of us die young.

Arcee: That's horrific.

Miko: Meh, it's just kinda how it is.

Miko: When I saw Jack rabbit over here for the first time I was going to try killing him before I saw Arcee than got distracted from murder.

Jack: Really? Huh, can't believe you found me out before I did.

Miko: Right?

Raf: I recognized you guys awhile ago but I knew I could never beat any of you in a fight so I just tried hiding.

Miko: Yeah, 'cause you're a nerd.

Raf: I can still kill you, in your sleep. >:<

Miko: I'm built different.

Tfp kids: *Arguing about who would have survived if they fought.*

Arcee watch in growing horror as the children casually talked about their potential deaths and killing each other. The bot could only imagine what would have happened if she hadn't followed Jack that day.

---------------------------------------

*Later at Jack's house*

Jack: Arcee are you okay? You've been quiet.

Arcee: ....

Arcee: What am I supposed do?

Jack: What?

Arcee: PROTECTING YOU!!

Arcee: Primus, I wouldn't be able to do anything. I just have you fight for your life with your- your, ghost fraggers!!

Jack: Arcee...

Arcee: i cAn'T PrOtEcT yOu...

The "or anyone else goes unsaid."

Jack: It's alright I got Miko and Raf as backup, I'll be safe.

Arcee: I'm terrified for you kid; your so young, you shouldn't have to face death like this.

Jack: It's just how life is for us, I'm used to it.

Arcee: You shouldn't be used to it.

She's right but what could be said? There's nothing that either of them could do to change that.

=======================================

I feel like the Visual Kei style would fit Standing Miko the best. If you don’t know what it is, it's a Japanese music movement that emerged in the 1980’s, where musicians wear extravagant makeup, hair, and outfits. This style draws inspiration from many sources, including Glam Rock, Punk, Heavy Metal, and more.

Ps. You can search up Visual Kei on Wikipedia for better information or TV Tropes.

Oh yeah I'm definitely seeing the vision here. Canon Miko would absolutely find this style awesome.

[raileurta]

Do you think the Autobots/Decepticons would have a look of confusion every time a stand battle is happening since Stands are invisible to non-Stand users? Like say Miko comes out unscathed after detonating many explosives on herself or how Jack gets tougher and faster every time they're a difficult enemy I feel like Airachnid will be in for a fight and would most definitely want to take Jack as her trophy.

The kids would explain to the Autobots what's going on but the Decepticons are going to be pretty confused for awhile. Soundwave would eventually find it out or maybe Starscream learns about it from Silas, and tells Megatron later.

Arachnid would want Jack as trophy more than in canon due to his strangeness.

[raileurta]

In your Stand User AU would they have the same fashion sense as the main Jojo Protoganist? Like Jack having blue hair stylized in an anime ish spikes, Raphael looking like a fashionable nerd (Sorry I can’t think of something good) and Miko looking more punk than usual. Also Would Silas dress unusually fashionable when he not out in gear as well as other MECH members I mean there a long running gag of enemy stand users dressing more usually than the populace and I feel like the Autobots/Decepticons would eventually notice.

Of course! It has to be a requirement. Miko is probably already half way there, she just needs more ✨️drama✨️ and spikes. I'm going to look at Jojo fashion to see if I can get any ideas.

For the bit he does lol. The bots always find the stand users by their fashion sense and alt culture is the only thing semi camouflaging them.

İ wonder if the kids guardian bots could see the kids stands when the abilities are being used alongaide them like how an eraly aşk said Jack should be able to apply his speed to a vehicle he is driving as an improvement or evolution of his stand ability like he and Arcee are trying to escape from vehicons and Jack suddenly increases her speed to the point Arcee Almost crashes with her seeing the ghostly figure of jack's stand sitting right behind him or maybe Bulkhead is about have his face smashed in by an enemy and he Braces for impact but then he opens his eyes he sees that no harm was done to him as there was some weird thing wrapped around him that made a force field around him because Miko sneaked into him somehow and Bumblebee seeing Raph's stand showing him the weakspots of an enemy as it appears in his optics,also ı think Fowler should also be a stand User as a mentor to the kids

Yeah, I feel like at some point the Autobots gotta end up being able to see the stands. You know for drama and ✨️excitement.✨️

For Jack they should only be able to see it when he's using his speed boost on them.

For Miko if her upgrade is able to apply the shielding to others then during that is when they can see.

For Raf only if the stand is sending direct information they could see them.

So basically only when the kids are using their abilities on the Autobots.

Fowler being a stand user as well would make sense.
