Is I have a bunch of other stuff to finish, but the Stone Ocean Brainrot Is Strong and I need to get this out now. 

not technically an AU, but since canon never went into detail I’m including it on the list, AU covering Post Stone Ocean and Emporio adjusting to Normal LifeTM

Not too many fully thought out bits  because I came up with it. Literally an hour ago but I do have some fragments I want to work with so oNTO THE BULLET LIST >:D

Emporio accidentally making it storm HARD with Weather Report during that car ride so they have to pull over and wait it out because driving was too dangerous. This accidentally ends up forcing some bonding between the group and leads to them all becoming friends

The group gets very mixed vibes about Emporio, particularly about how he’s both incredibly smart but also knows very little about the world and is an emotional wreck

Emporio is both incredibly shy and awkward but also desperate for positive affection and proof they’re actually alive and here. Ends up being given One(1) head pat from Wes and bursts into tears right then and there

Then when they all try to comfort him it just makes him cry worse, and eventually this leads to him spilling some of his situation. Not the Universe Resetting Stuff, but how he was born in the prison, his mom hid him, how she was killed by a priest and he's been living in the walls ever since, terrified about said priest finding him, and how he was only able to get out thanks to his older sister, her friends and dad who were.... falsely?(not sure how to describe it, most of their situations are weird) imprisoned, but the priest killed them all too before Emporio could kill him back, so now while he’s technically safe he’s now completely alone

As one can image, They Were Not Expecting All That and collectively decide “yeah we’re keeping this kid safe,” leading to them sticking together for a bit when they get to their destination in the city so they can figure out what to do from here

If I’m remembering correctly, I believe that out of the four of them only Anasui would have his Stand so some chaos there when he learns this kid has two, one of which is pretty sentient and makes itself very clear that if any harm comes to Emporio There Will Be Consequences

Also speaking of Weather Report The Stand, it just kinda. Stares at Wes for a bit when nobody's looking. Things are definitely going to be awkward if the rest of the Gang ever get their Stands again

Emporio also talks to the Stand often, and it becomes a piece of comfort for him, however unfortunately it also has a habit of messing with the weather in response to Emporio’s emotions and wants. Florida can expect a lot of flash storms in the coming days

A few days into the five of them being friends and hanging out, they decide to go on a shopping trip and Emporio has stars in his eyes. He’d never been to a store before, let alone a mall. In the end Emporio easily gets the most stuff despite his reservations at the insistence of everyone else, and it ranges from stuffed animals to a new baseball and glove to new clothes(Emporio is positively giddy at the prospect of non-Green Dolphin clothes, and it both depresses the hell out of everyone but also his joy is infections and makes them all laugh)

At some point they end up meeting Foo Fighters, but not as a plankton. Instead they meet Foo’s old User before Pucci had stolen them and made them sentient. Funnily enough, their User’s personality is almost exactly the same as the Stand when they were sentient which is both another knife in Emporio’s heart but also a comfort because Foo gets to still exist in a sense

Jotaro being a good grandpa and recognizing the signs of Emporio’s trauma and helping him work through it. When the Stand aspect of Emporio’s trauma is revealed, he ends up contacting the SWF to get him a Stand Therapist so he won't have to hide it

Anasui & Diver Down | Episode 15

[fuckyeahvanhalen86-95]

1982 Eddie Van Halen defends Diver Down: "They're good f**kin' songs..." (phone interview)

July 30, 1982 — a couple weeks into the tour for Diver Down, Eddie talks to Jas Obrecht for Guitar Player Magazine. Ed talks about the new album and defends all the cover songs ...

"They're good fuckin' songs, why shouldn't they be redone the way we do 'em for a new generation of people" ...

"I don't think any cover tune we've ever done sounds like the original. It takes almost as much time to make a cover tune sound original as it does writing a song. -- so fuck the critics!"

~~~

38 years later, couldn't agree more with Eddie. Diver Down is an amazing Van Halen record on par with the others that gets dogged far too often for the cover tunes. A fun, summertime Van Halen extravaganza. A big part of Van Halen was their fun, party vibe and this is their most fun, party vibe album ever recorded.

- 4 of their coolest original songs (Hang Em High, Secrets!, Little Guitars, The Full Bug)

-3 amazing & innovative Eddie instrumental pieces

- Plus a handful of fun cover tunes that were totally Van Halen-ized including Ed and Al's dad playing on a song and a Van Halen concert staple with "Happy Trails" that was played on every show from 1982-1984.

- The Mighty Van Halen

What if like Jonaplat and Stone Free Kakyoin, if post Part 6, Jolyne herself ends up a Stand, but sad twist, she ends up as a version of Stone Free, what if Stone Free, who tried to save her, accidentally merges with her soul, fusing into a new form of Stone Free, it had green lines and few butterfly symbols, she has to deal with a world that changed, and when she sees Emporio again, it will be super tragic, Jolyne is happy to see the one she considers a little brother alive and well and learns he defeated Pucci but on the other hand found out how emotionally traumatized he got, Emporio breaks down again in sorrow. Weather Report being there makes things more angsty. Her seeing her counterpart Irene doesn’t help either, reminding her that her old body died.

O U G H NOW THAT'S A LOTTA DAMAGE-

okay okay hear me out just to make things even worse: what if that's with everyone

Like, Jolyne, Anasui, Hermes, Weather, Foo, everybody

hell, to make things even worse, what if that's how it's always been? Just like when Star Platinum and Stone Free woke up, there had always been the ghost of a soul there from the very start. Irene grew up with a Stand who was smarter than most, who had her own emotions, who would occasionally spell out words in cursive using her strings and would do everything she could to be there for her

when Irene met Anakiss for the first time and saw Diver Down, Jolyne didn't even care that it was Anasui she found first and tackled him with a hug. The Users, while definitly confused, had been close ever since

for years the two of them searched for the others. The names they knew were basically worthless, and apperances were barely any better, but it was something and if the two of them were here then who's to say the others weren't too. But they still couldn't find anyone else, and for a while they thought for who knows what reason they'd be alone-

but then everything comes together at a gas station

it starts with Eldis meeting Emporio. Her getting kicked off the bus and nearly stranded, but while she talks Hermes can do nothing but stare

because it had been years. Years of keeping this Other version of herself safe, years of keeping Gloria safe, years meeting other Users in passing but never seeing a familiar face

and Emporio looks exactly the same as the day she'd last seen him. Same honeyed eyes, same fluffy blonde hair, same baseball cap and uniform, everything

what's more he recognizes her. The entire time she's been with Eldis not once has she met someone who remembers what happened, and yet here was Emporio looking at her with an emotion so raw and painful that he had to know who she, who Eldis was

and well...... when Eldis finally got close enough you can hardly blame her for jumping out

this then ends up getting Anasui and Jolyne's attention and they also jump out to have their reunion, much to their User's incredible confusion, and the whole time Emporio is just....... stuck staring

he's still in shock, understandably, still processing everything that's happened and what's happening before his eyes. It's not until Jolyne floats closer and wraps a hesitant, gentle strand of string around his wrist and tugs him in their direction that he finally breaks and Jolyne wraps him in a tight, warm hug

Irene may not understand what's going on right now, but she's pretty sure her Stand would kill someone if they tried to seperate the two of them

(also when they end up seeing Weather on the side of the road, Anasui absolutely grabs the wheel from Anakiss to make them pick the guy up, I don't make the rules)
