giorno love machine go bbbrrrrr

UNPROMPTED @nsynthiac​​ said "Did you know that pink and red were at some point associated with masculinity?"

“i did not.” giorno admits, easy as anything because it is true and a nice tidbit of information, besides. he knows things, sure, but only when they pertain starkly to his interests and the history colors and fashion and all adjacent topics was never a rabbit hole he took to following. “i think i can see why that’s the case.” if he considers what knowledge he vaguely remembers from a history course or two about royalty and the colors the wore. “it’s a good thing pink is my favorite color.”

UNPROMPTED @iramdie said gives his nephewest nephew a dinosaur ride bc only giogio is allowed to have them

Giorno’s older now—fifteen steadily marching forward to a beat of his own making. Tall too, long limbed and graceful in a way most teens aren’t, but that’s the Brando in him—probably. Pride a mimicry of his uncle’s own from years of looking up (and still looking up even when heights were surpassed and reaching tall shelves became easier).

Pride too—and the simplicity of growing up—had tapered off the asks to be carried as he can’t even remember if the last time was a silent offer or a soft request. It isn’t as though he’s forgotten though because Giorno holds onto good memories like treasure to be coveted. Tiny fingers gently gripping jewel-bright feathers and no real time to ever fear heights. All good memories, bright spots strung together like pearls.

Childhood nostalgia wins either way—both of them leaning towards sentimentality today for some reason. Maybe when Diego has working vocal cords and Giorno has slipped off his uncle’s back, he’ll insist it was done because Giorno’s still somehow shrimpy slow despite his long legs and what a waste that is and Giorno will nod along like he always does but he knows better just the same.

He’s always known better, is the thing.

i’m worried now this is the new worst low of my life. conveniently, heaven allows such things to exist with no punishment. established slavery, slavery. there is no safety measures for this hell. so you wish to break out?  there was no love here. this is no love.

ROSEGOLDCOW!!!!! ADDS IT TO THE LIST OF GIO FAMILY UNITS THAT I LOVE AND ADORE AND IT’S VERY TOP RIGHT NEXT TO UNCKY AND NEPHEWEST NEPHEW

aight but also khr verse giorno with khr verse nara and khr verse uncky

i scramble my brain around for forbidden khr lore that lurks beneath for the express purpose of this verse. i know we feel strongly about storm flame user nara and i love that for him, so how do you feel about cloud flame uncky with maybe a bit of sun flame underneath that. 

[dirgesque-blog]

do i have a khr verse for giorno? possibly. is the only thing i know for certain is that giorno talks to lambo for 5 minutes and immediately adopts him? like rikiel whomst??? maybe so and it is the most important part.

weird collections of headcanons pertaining to giorno, in regards to how i rp him so sometimes they’re implied, that i think about a lot & am deciding to share.

vegetarian but not strictly so and will eat meat if it’s part of a meal offered to him since he doesn’t want to seem rude by denying it. does prefer seafood if he had to choose. this is not actually tied with ge, but people assume it is. he doesn’t correct them if asked. 

definitely labeled the “weird kid” outside of, you know, the regular racist & xenophobic bullshit he had to deal with growing up. caught a lot of lizards and bugs when he was a wee lad, but always let them go at the end of the day in a safe and shady spot! had a little booklet filled with kiddie scribbles of his favorites.

almost always assumes people have an ulterior motive when helping him, so it’s hard for him to reconcile genuine kindness for kindness sake. this has to do a lot of the “mysterious mafia man” that helped him and the repercussions of that in regards to people suddenly flipping the script and being nice to him. 

an underlying and very huge fear is that giorno has is that he worries about eventually losing all his close relationships. he knows his parents’ treatment of him was wrong, but it was something he grew up with for 15 years. so he just one day assumes people will see what his mother saw that made him so unloveable and leave him.

while giorno doesn’t give a shit about his mom and her life, he kind of wishes he had a deeper tie with his japanese heritage. he’s also tired of people assuming he’s white which never happened when he had black hair. 

the reason why he’s good at speaking japanese is mainly since his mom spoke it at home pretty exclusively even in naples, so someone had to keep up with her. 

knows a lot of random bullshit about the human body because he read those big biology books in his free time. also snuck into a few college courses because no one can tell the difference as long as you got the confidence to fake it.

mobile posting which I have never done in my life actually: yes i am alive!!

ire emblem: 3h prompts. @dirgesque​​ said:  “ if only people could be more like flowers ”

under the slant of a rock slab, diego slumbers, or at he least attempts to. a trend that came with babysitting the kid was some laughable portion of his conscience that nagged, incessantly, from the back of his mind. 

which was odd enough as it was. asleep or awake, his saurian senses were nothing to write off. he had entire confidence in himself. and yet—

the wind whistles through the wildflowers, scattering pollen in its midst. a bright golden eye cracks open, just in time to catch an tossup of flowers and haruno’s pitiful ‘achoo!’. with the brat’s own sneeze blowing him backward, it appalled diego to consider what else would whisk his shrimpy body away. the wind itself just might, if diego weren’t careful.

but he is content to let haruno play in the flowers beside him, just on the skirts of the shadow he lay in, shrimpiest little hands weaving what look like lush flower crowns. how utterly picturesque. and how utterly jonathan, diego duly notes.

even under the occasional gust, he heard the boy breath for breath. every now and then he would hum (off-tune—once again, utterly jonathan) while other times he would simply mutter. a nickel they’d turned into a frog and subsequently a microraptor listened to him with a cant of its head each time. though, haruno’s next idle mumble intrigues him. if only people could be more like flowers.

“fragile and very flimsy?”  he unhelpfully offers, already knowing the real answer. already having dreamed that dream—save with horses, in retrospect. because they’re sweet. they don’t talk. they don’t get angry.

because flowers don’t hit you.

a claw unwittingly clamps into the dirt beneath it. 

“i suppose,”  diego finally says,  “unlike people, they can all be trusted on sight.”  a half-reptilian smile crosses his expression, askew from more than his unique anatomy. the world is entirely unsorry for schooling them so young; diego, in exchange, is entirely unsorry back. but maybe, just maybe, a part of him is angrier on one of their behalves.

“but, kid,”  he continues after a calculated beat,  “even some flowers have thorns. you know that, don’t you?”  his nephew is a bright little shrimp, after all.  “and some of them plain reek. worse than your father’s leftovers, even. honestly, as far as flowers go…”

diego rolls over with a hum and dismissive wave, his back to haruno.  “they could stand to be a bit more like you.”

meant to get to the starters i owed today but 1. it’s suddenly 1am so idk how that happened & 2. been fighting a headache all day pretty much so that’s that. hopefully i will get to the rest soon. i wave my hand in the vague direction of my IMs if anyone wants to chat/plot or something

[dirgesque-blog]

“do you have a favorite flower?” question asked without preamble; no previous conversation as its foundation. he’s just curious, is the thing and it’s usually a harmless question to ask. he stores facts and trivia like coins to be collected and used for later use, so why not apply the tactic to actual people as well rather than just bits and bops of information. “unless you don’t have one. that’s fine too.” he adds as an almost afterthought, figures it’s a good just in case scenario. it isn’t as giorno has asked this question often enough to guess at a percentage of who can actually give an answer off the top of their head.
