Ghiaccio's White Album is probably a really convenient Stand to have around with Grateful Dead. I imagine he could keep the rest of the group from aging so it can specifically kill the target while keeping the members of La Squadra safe from harm's way. (I kinda wonder what the Grateful Dead fight would've looked like with Ghiaccio there or what missions would look like with him and Prosciutto paired up instead. There would be no need for the freakout over losing ice cubes and Bruno's group would probably try to use the freezing ability as refuge only for Ghiaccio to go "Ha! No, sucker!" and reverse the effect or just start freezing them to death or something)

#rambles #short posts #i complain about VA's writing a lot but i will say i genuinely enjoy the stand abilities and fights (besides the final fight but yknow)#stand abilities evolve a lot throughout the series. in part 3 they were very simplistic and kind of dull/forgettable #you can tell the series was still working out stand logic and what it wanted to do with them #parts 6 and 7 are kind of mixed bags for me- some abilities are cool and others just got weird #(complicated abilities can make for cool fights but IMO if you need several pages of exposition to make the power sensical...#it's probably not a very good power)#and i'd say part 8 missed more than it hit when it came to stands. some of them were cool but others were overly complex to the point-#-of looping back around to being boring and just making me want to skim the fight to the end #but parts 4 & 5 hit a sweet spot of just unique enough to be very jojo and make for some cool fights but also understandable and fun #i remember when i first watched part 5 and thought ''cool!!'' to myself when i saw the abilities and how they were used #you did have the whole problem with king crimson being confusing and all but that's not really a problem with the ability itself #more the fact that it was hard to communicate its ability via manga format which i could do a whole ramble about tbh sdjfksld #though some descriptions of KC get contradictory to how it behaves in-universe which is annoying #and also it was too powerful for the characters to defeat which is why the requiem stuff had to happen which is really annoying #but umm i digress
