I know it's well past Father's Day but what do you feel about your other father? George Joestar, I mean. Did you ever enjoy your time with him?

unprompted asks | ALWAYS ACCEPTING

❝ george joestar was but a mere footnote to my legacy. ❞   it’s an audacious remark even for DIO, who seems to revel in its cruelty. his smirking lips part to reveal an irrepressible grin as he declares, with great relish,   ❝ like the rest of his kin, his existence amounted to one purpose: to facilitate my rise to godhood. ❞

he supposes he has the blood of the joestar patriarch to thank for the powers he gained from the stone mask, insofar as he possesses the capacity to be grateful. but in truth, DIO thinks very little of his adoptive father — certainly less than he does of jonathan. from dario brando’s monetary schemes to his own murderous plot, george joestar remained to them both a simple tool, nothing more and nothing less.

❝ — but in the interest of being charitable, ❞   he sneers,   ❝ i reserve for that old fool my highest compliment. he was nothing like my father. ❞   DIO’s final words on the subject are dripping with derision, heavy with contemptuous mockery — an attempt, perhaps, to mask their sincerity.
