#the pucci's fuck me up so badly I don't know what to do

[starry-blue-echoes]

you know, for as Fucked as what Pucci did was, I. Can't stop thinking about how young he'd been

just. You're fifteen and you live with your parents

you're fifteen and you have two siblings, a little sister you love more than anything else and a twin who died before you could know him

you're fifteen and you want to be a priest so you volunteer and work at the local church

you're fifteen and you meet a blonde stranger who fixes your injured foot and gives you an arrowhead and speaks of Fate

you're fifteen and you learn your twin isn't as dead as everyone thought

you're fifteen and your brother and sister are dating and neither of them know it

you're fifteen and you don't tell anyone because how can you break their hearts like that

you're fifteen and you hire an investigator to fix things, to make things right, to make it so they won't make the worst mistake of their lives

you're fifteen and you realise too late what's happened

you're fifteen and you hold your sister's corpse at the bottom of the cliff she jumped from

you're fifteen and your brother hates you more than anything

you're fifteen and your brother kills everyone in town in his rage and the only way to stop him is to steal the power you're responsible for giving him

you're fifteen and you can't do it, can't loose another sibling so soon after the first, so you take his memories instead and make him a blank slate

you're fifteen and you hold your brother's memories close as his body crumples to the floor, what happened that awful night being revealed to you in full clarity

you're fifteen and you cling to the idea of Fate because what else could explain the tragedy that has destroyed everything you loved

you're fifteen.

Okay no but Jolyne in Shattered Glass AU is such a funky idea to me.

Considering that she's separate from the whole Joestar-culty business, I feel like maybe she, as well as Josuke and Giorno, would still remain somewhat on the side of good!!

I wonder if, like, her situation in prison would either be similar to Cult of the Lamb, where she gets by exploiting the religion, or just like canon, where it's simply hell for her.

Also, maybe Ermes, Foo, Anasui and co. are like!! Reoccurring rivals that she just gets stuck with (Why did this remind me of Mean Girls??). Even better if they're actually the weird cultists here and just. Automatically assume Jolyne is also culty. She's gaslighting, gatekeeping, and girlbossing.

The idea of like,, fate would probably tie in so heavily here. Where she's part of this evil, cursed lineage, and decides to be free from that sort of burden by being something ELSE than a Joestar. She's Jolyne. It's why she changes her last name, even better in prison, 'cause she knows what that name entails and now decides to truly make it her own.

Would Jolyne even win in this one?? Part of me hopes so, was absolutely gutted watching the end of Stone Ocean, so maybe this time our girl can get a win.

I'll admit I don't know much about Cult of the Lamb but yesssssssssss

just. Jolyne slowly learning with a growing horror just who exactly her father is and what he's done. Every wish for her father to have been more present in her life is shattered to pieces left with only a surging relief and terror at what could have been

honestly, the thought of exploiting the cult that Pucci's built up probably does cross her mind, but I think the possible dangers of revealing her name would out weigh the possible benefits. Who knows what they might make her do or expect of her when they learn she's a direct decendant of one of history's most famed dictatorships

so she opts to stay hidden, even though it'll mean getting information is gonna be a lot harder

I'll admit, I'm not super sure on her allies being part of the cult (genuinely a part at least, I can definitely see Hermes pretending to buy into it to get closer to Sports Maxx) but Rivals to Friends could definitely be fun to play with

actually, out of everyone Weather could definitely be part of the cult..... maybe he can get an arc where the gang helps him out of that specific situation. Perhaps Hermes is the one who makes contact first since she's "part of the cult" and since according to everyone he's been here the longest she thinks he'll know the most about the prision

also, Foo is definitely going to be an interesting character and looking on at all the human shenanigans and politics that have been going on with morbid curiosity but also "guys what the fuck-"

I think Jolyne And Co should get to win this one, just on the principal of the mater and to add more contrast to canon. Also, remember how AGES ago I mentioned a SWF Agent arriving in the prision who slowly ends up helping and growing to trust Jolyne? What if it's Dio

(also for a bit of dark humor, Jolyne gets REALLY badly wounded in the end, bad enough she Needs A Hospital and is unconcious for a while, and when she wakes up Dio makes a joke about how she's kept the running "Elder Joestar Dies In The Fight While The Younger One Survives" trend going (since in the first fight, George died while Jonathan survived, then way later Jonathan died while Joseph survived, then Joseph died and Jotaro survived, and then there's now)

also for some angst....... what if the first person who learns Jolyne's secret is Emporio

Emporio, who's mother was murder for the sake of supporting the Joestar Clan and has been on his own for his whole life, learns that one of the people who's the closest thing he's ever had to family is related to them

had he been older, Emporio might've understood things a bit better. He would've been able to connect how Jolyne had no allegiance to the Joestars and that she barely knew her father at all

but he isn't. Emporio is 11 years old and traumitized to high hell and in his eyes someone he loves has betreyed him in one of the worst possible ways
