Give it a try? It's fine if you don't get it right the first time. I'm interested in hearing what you think, either way.
[He may be inching one clawed hand a little closer to Rohan. There may be a super smooth attempt at putting that arm around him in the impending future.]
no subject
It's fine. I don't need to think too hard on it. [ It's a little bit of a scapegoat. It's cheap. He is thinking too hard to bat away that arm or get worked up over it. ]
Yours is like a entirely different entity. I don't know why it is like that because I never asked and it doesn't sound like you know either. We all have a certain flavor of attachment to our Stands but when one is like its own person-- no matter what shape it takes --it puts a different light on it.
It is you as much as Heaven's Door is me. However, Star Platinum possesses something completely different... [ Overanalyzing is occurring so he prompts himself to look up at Jotaro's face but nowhere in particular. ]
no subject
...Jiji's had no personality at all. It was just vines, just...like a tool. Something like that would definitely be an "it", not anything else. And then my mom's...
[He pauses, taking a steadying breath.]
Stands shouldn't be able to attack their own users, but hers was a parasite. It was...feeding on her, I guess. It shouldn't have been able to do that.
I don't know if Star reaches the level of being his own person. But it's like...two circles overlapping, but not perfectly. There's that sliver of him that I know isn't me, even though most of him is.
no subject
That sliver might be what separates you two enough to make the partnership so unique. You have mentioned before that he is not without a big chunk of baggage.
Have you considered that may be part of why the dynamic looks as different as it does from other Stands you have seen?
Does it feel different?
no subject
[His voice goes thin on that sentence, hollow and distant, but thankfully lacking the impression of having to force the words out through a constricted throat. It's a testament to how secure he feels with Rohan nearby, probably; it's never not going to be difficult to talk about, but there's a pronounced difference in his demeanor, that he only sounds tired and sad instead of actively agonized.]
The same speed, the same range. The same power. But I think...Dio was someone who wanted to be better than everyone. I remember him saying that "The World" gave him the power to rule over the world. So I think...if it ever had a personality, it got snuffed out under Dio's control. He wouldn't have wanted The World to be separate from him. He would've wanted it to be his weapon, maybe that's why it was...dead.
I think it's different for people who were born with their Stand, too. I think they're more likely to see it as just an extension of themselves, because they've never known anything different. But I remember a time without Star, so that makes him a little less "me". Because I was already "me" before him.
...I've never seen someone else's Stand protect them the way that Star protects me. That kind of independent action. So...yeah. It feels different. If that's what you meant.
no subject
[ Rohan cuts in near the conclusion of Jotaro's thought. They are never able to escape getting into deep conversations like these. The kind that cut more than they should and suck the pleasantness out of the atmosphere. ]
I don't need the novel about Dio. Not now. [ He shuts his eyes and shakes his head. Education Moments are hard to stop. ] What's important is that you remember the parts that matter. That is what I meant though. I don't need to use mine. It makes--... Made my life easier but I've gotten on pretty well without it.
no subject
[It's appreciative, unmistakably so. Just a simple, easy don't get into that right now, and it's like permission to push it away when it tries to encroach on his thoughts.
He opts to lean against Rohan instead, continuing to further his slow gradual process of attempting something that probably wants to be cuddling, sort of.]
You should see him draw. When I get him unsealed. He can perfectly copy what he sees, if you show it to him; maybe you won't have to personally reproduce all your copies of manga by hand anymore.
no subject
I'll have to see. He will never be able to make my style look as perfect. [ No one can. Not even a copy machine. ] It would help my wrist if nothing else. I want to see how he works.
[ What he does next is this goofy instinctual forward lean that just looks bizarre and out of place. Something should be in front of him but it isn't there. He... Needs to put his chin on something. Snake things. He settles for a little turn of his head, sticking his chin right on Jotaro's shoulder the best he can which makes it look like he has his face almost buried in his neck. IT'S FINE.
There we go. ]
Stay here. I have a long week coming up. I need a nap.
no subject
[And he settles in as if for emphasis, making minor adjustments to his positioning as he gets comfortable for the long haul.]
I'll be stone when the sun rises. If that happens before you're awake again...
this ended up sweeter than intended aw
Now you should be okay. I have to meet with a new employee in the morning. He needs to show me what he knows.
[ He exhales a hisssss and yaaaawns, prompting his teeth to stretch away from where they're folded into the roof of his mouth. He settles again and Snakebutt has anchored itself to Jotaro's ankle as an extra insurance policy.
Rohan sleeps like a rock, Jotaro. Be ready to stick around. ]
