∣  ∣  ∣  ∣  ∣     @multavia​​​​       ╱      “ you see the good in everything. that’s why i like it when you look at me ”

she was no saint.   a fallen nun who couldn’t even believe in her own faith , and one who selfishly grasped onto the prospect of forgiveness.   so much so that she’d stained her hands with sin time , and time , and time again.   it was in the name of god , she’d pretend , but no , she had just been so desperate to obtain exemption that she accepted her task without batting an eye , because she would kill for that release , she’d claw her way out of the hole she’d dug herself even if it killed her.   she had no reason to class herself as a good person , not anymore.  

but diego says those words and she can’t stop her gaze from drawing to his.     ❝ oh? ❞     she whispers under a faint breath , studying the softer of his features that seemed to appear on nights like these.   the days were always so long and tiring , they had little time to converse about anything else but the race and their primary objective.   they planned and directed around one another , they kept watch for enemies and made tactical discussions together , but rarely they could find the time to speak this calmly , without the rush of the steel born run to disrupt them. 

❝ I disagree. ❞     lips press tightly in thought.      ❝ I’m just confident in my judgement.   I’m sure if I could see the good in everything , I wouldn’t be in this race. ❞     

she pauses , because the truth was often a hard pill to swallow.   instead of dwelling, she shoves down those thoughts , and instead directs her attention back to dio.   what did he see when she looked at him?   very rarely did her eyes stray from his , not when he was mad , or frustrated , not when scary monsters made it’s presence known , and not now either.   strange , though perhaps they both had the opportunity to see one another on a clear slate , without reputation or rumours to cloud their opinions.   within this race , there was only raw feelings and the desperation of one’s inner self and the determination of their desires.   

❝ watch me closely , diego. ❞     hands cup around his cheeks , drawing his gaze closer and closer , noses almost touching as she keeps her stare firm.     ❝ I see you , whether you want to see yourself as bad or good is irrelevant.   I won’t trust those who are villainous to lie next to me at night , or to recover something very important. ❞     

she can’t give him an answer that doesn’t come from the heart , none that are riddled by sweet words and not the truth that she believes is right.   she can’t see the good in everything , because she was blind to the many beauties and wonders of this world , and she had damned herself to walk a thorn riddled path.   but him , he was very different.   he wasn’t just something , he was diego brando.    

❝ you are not a bad person.   I trust that , so I will trust my eyes , and so should you. ❞     hot pants looked at him like that because while he was a man with many faults , he wasn’t something evil.   he was no monster.   he was simply him , and he was the person she had decided to put her trust him , and that spoke volumes enough.

JJBA Part 7 Volume 1 Reactions

This part has been hyped up a whole lot so this will be fun

dumb jokes and alarmed responses to plot developments under the cut

I’m going to start with everything I know about this up front so later on I can see how hilariously wrong and misinformed I am.

So Johnny can’t walk but that doesn’t stop him from killing so many people apparently. There are actual steal balls and Gyro throws them at people. Absolutely everyone is after Jesus. Johnny wants Jesus for new legs. No idea why Gyro is here. The president wants Jesus so America can America more but better. He will do things like abuse a girl and make his man rabbit stand send people to the Presidential Realm to become cubes to do so (and no, I don’t understand what that means either). He’s also taking the first napkin, but that may or may not be related to Jesus at all. Someone who works for the president speaks in owo and that’s terrifying. Diego is here, and he’s a dinosaur. He summons more dinosaurs, but only until he gets hit by a train. There’s also a nun named Hot Pants but I have no idea how she fits in to all of this, except that nuns are clearly pro-Jesus.

That and a lot of people call this their favorite part.
