I have a guess as to how Araki ranks his villains in terms of "evil" because I think it's based on their intention and their worldview just as much as their actions. Like, Diavolo doesn't give a shit about anyone except himself and all of his actions stem from that, so he's designated "Most Deplorable" category despite his actions not actually being as bad or as gruesome as lots of the other villains

MICKEY YOUR RB ON THAT SMOKER!SUGU POST………. oh i need . lore . so badly

ROOMIE!SUGU BEING A SMOKER MAKES SOOO MUCH SENSE OBVIOUSLY (my heart goes out to depression era sugu and his inherent need for self-destruction 🫡) but i must know …. does he. try to get you to smoke 😳😳 does he … shotgun you……… or does he steal any cigarettes you buy with a teasing grin so you never start………. i need answers so bad misu you are my otp always

OKEOKE OKE SO we did have a lil talk abt this already buut yeah in the misu world.. roomie!suguru definitely smokes. we have a little balcony in our apartment too so he doesn't have to like.. smoke out of a window or go down the stairs which is nice. aaand we have two little chairs outside too aand a little table and then we have a few plants too (he takes care of those i am awful with plants..) AAAND this is our regular hangout spot!!!!!!!!!! smoking or not, we like to sit there a lot!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

EoH Masterlist °☆• Daryl Masterlist °☆• Masterlist

"Ted?" You called out for your son; voice echoing through the little cottage. "Outside, momma!" Your son answered loud enough for you to hear; feet carrying you straight towards him.

The nine-year-old sat on a small log just outside the cottage. He was highly concentrated on making his first own arrow. His tongue poked out of his mouth and touching his upper lip; eyes fixated on the task ahead. Dog laid beside him on the grass. The faithful canine rarely left the boy's side. Not since Daryl told Dog to always protect Teddy. He understood the assignment. Smart animal, without a doubt...

Daryl was not far. Only a few yards away; chopping wood, so that he could always have an eye on his son.

It had gotten noticeably colder. That was the reason why your husband spent more time with hunting and especially chopping wood. Fall was making itself known and preparing you for the winter, which was probably already lurking just around the corner.

"Oh, you almost finished it?" You spoke in a bright voice; crouching down beside your kid to admire his good work. Teddy nodded proudly, "Mhm. Look!" and showed you the arrow. Of course, it was far from perfect and couldn't be used as a weapon. The tip was blunt - on purpose. Daryl didn't want Teddy to hurt himself. After all, Teddy was still young and his skills not entirely developed yet. But for that, the arrow was good. His father taught him well, you thought with a smile, like you did so often.

"Wow, that's amazing, baby. I'm proud of you," you smiled warmly at the boy and ruffled his long chestnut brown locks. Your son smiled up at you as well. "Thanks, momma."

You could feel Daryl's eyes on you; watching the scene in front of his eyes - which reminded you why you actually called your son...

"Teddy, could you go and check on the rabbit traps? I have to talk to daddy." He nodded, "Okay." and hopped from the log, before he carefully placed the arrow on it. "Take Dog with you and be careful, yes?" "Sure, momma. Dog, c'mon." Dog lifted his head and immediately jumped to his feet and fallowed his best friend.

You could still feel your husband's eyes on you, but this time you could tell that he was a bit confused.

Taking a deep breath, you straightened up again and made your way over to Daryl, who continued his work, now that you were on your way to him anyway. It had gotten colder, yes - even for Daryl, who had switched to wearing sweatshirts and long-sleeved shirts instead of t-shirts and shirts turned to tops with the sleeves ripped off. With a small grunt, he lunged out and precisely split the wood in two with his axe. You would've lied, if you said that this wasn't sexy in some kind of way. But now was not the time to ogle your man... You had something important to discuss...

"Daryl? Can we talk?"

Your husband looked at you with a mix of concern and confusion, but nodded. "Sure." He snuffled and placed the axe aside. "Do I have ta be worried?" You swallowed and looked down; fingers fumbling nervously with your shirt-sleeve. "Honestly? I-I don't know." A deep frown formed on the archer's forehead. Now he was really concerned - and you could see it clearly on his face. After over ten years being a couple, you could read this man like a book.

"Ya don know? Sunshine, wha's that s'pposed ta mean?"

Your eyes darted to Teddy for a short moment; watching him in distance check on the rabbit traps together with Dog. He had grown up so fast... Sure, in a world like this he had to, but you'd have loved to give him a better childhood and youth. Not cruel and full of death and blood. Was this truly something you wanted to bestow on another- "Hey, Y/N..."

Daryl's voice ripped you out of your thoughts; his hands on yours caused you to turn your head to face him again. "Wha's wrong? Talk ta me. Please." You swallowed once again; taking a deep breath. "Daryl, I... I missed two cycles. One happened before, but two..." You could see the gears turning in his head. He blinked; his palms twitching around your hands. "Darlin'... Are you... Are you tryin' to tell me wha' I think yer tryin' to tell me?" You nodded. "Uh.Huh..."

Daryl let go of your hands again and started to pace up and down; fingers scratching his goatee covered chin. You watched him for a few moments; giving him some time to process this - until you couldn't take the silence anymore. "D-Daryl? Say somethin', please..."

Your husband stopped dead in his movements for a moment, before he almost hastily started to search his things together. Crossbow, vest, map.

You frowned; now utterly confused. "Daryl?" He strapped on his crossbow, "'M goin' out; find a pharmacy and get a test." and smiled at you. Truly smiled. The first smile in months - hell, even years after Rick's disappearance, which reached his eyes.

You were slightly surprised and taken aback, but you certainly didn't complain. "A-Alright, sure, but now? Sweetie, it's gettin' dark soon..." Daryl was already making his way over to his bike. "Don care. I gotta know, sunshine. Hell, I wanna know." "Uh, okay," you were still rather flabbergasted, as you followed him. "But be careful, yeah? Be safe." The archer leaned slightly to the right, in order to press a quick, but loving kiss against your lips. "'Course, sunshine."

And off he went.

Your eyes fallowed him as long as you could; crossing your arms over your chest as the chilly breeze hit your body.

"Where's daddy goin'?" Teddy appeared beside you; Dog in tow and three rabbits in his hands. You looked down at your little boy; "Just on a small run. He'll be back soon." adjusting the red bandana around his neck. "Let's go inside, huh? It's getting cold."

Your son nodded and followed you inside the cottage.

It had gotten late. By now it was pitch black outside - and raining. Daryl wasn't back yet and so slowly started your worries to creep in. Therefore, you occupied yourself. Made sure everything was walker safe, took care of the rabbits, fed Dog, had dinner and spent some time with Teddy, before you wanted to send him off to bed. But, of course, like always, the nine-year-old refused to sleep. Not until his father was back. You had no other choice but to let him.

Another hour later, you finally heard the familiar sound of a motorcycle. A relieved sigh left your lips, while your son was already storming out of his tiny room and straight towards the door. He had heard it, too.

A few moments later, Daryl stepped inside; bringing a good portion rain, leaves and wind with him. He quickly shut the door, put down his crossbow and shed himself of his wet poncho.

"Daddy!" Teddy sprinted straight into his dad's arms, who lifted him up and hugged him tight. "Hey, bud. Yer not asleep yet?" Daryl looked at you and you silently told him why; Teddy still clinging to him. Daryl understood, of course and walked with his son without further ado to the boy's room, which was right behind your bedroom. For safety reasons, of course. "Good night, baby." Teddy turned to smile tiredly at you; hand tucked neatly into Daryl's. "Nighty night, momma."

While your husband tucked Teddy in, you hung up the wet poncho to dry. Now that Daryl was back from his little run and the worries about his well-being ceased, there was space again for the previous thoughts and fears to come back again. The missed cycles and the possibility of being pregnant. It wasn't like you didn't want to be, no. Actually, it would be a wonderful surprise, but... So much had changed around you since Teddy. The world had changed around you. Being pregnant wasn't that 'easy' anymore...

You didn't even notice that you were totally lost in thoughts, but when a strong arm wrapped itself around your waist, you snapped out of the bubble.

"Teddy asleep?" Daryl nodded. "Mhm." You felt the urge to be close to your husband; hoping that this would take your doubts and fears away. So, you leaned into his half embrace and slung your arms around his torso. Daryl immediately got the hint and wrapped you up in a big, protective bear hug.

"You okay?" You heard him ask then; concern swinging within his voice. "Yeah, 's just... You know..." You felt the archer nod against your head. "Let's find out?" "Let's find out."

Daryl handed you three different brands of pregnancy tests with a shrug. "Didn't know which one's good. Ain't ma specialty. Jus' thought 'm bringing them all." You took them. "It's okay, sweetie. Just gonna take all of 'em to be sure."

Said and done. With shaky hands you did what you had to do, before you returned to your husband, who was pacing again up and down the room like a wounded animal.

You placed all three tests upside-down on the little, wooden dining table; taking a deep breath. "How long do we have ta wait?" "Normally 'bout a few minutes," you answered and turned to face him. He nodded. Once more you stepped up close to your man; needing to ask the question which was occupying you since the first thought of pregnancy crossed your mind - even though he already gave you a nonverbal and kinda verbal answer. "Daryl..." You whispered his name; laying your palms on his chest. "Would you... Would you want this? A-Another baby? Would you be... happy 'bout it?"

You felt how one of his arms encircling your waist; the other hand cupping your cheek. "Darlin', I'd be the happiest man on earth. After all the things which happened..." He paused for a moment; swallowing hard - and you knew exactly what he meant. "Yeah. I'd be happy." You smiled softly; rubbing his pecks gently. "Truly?" Daryl nodded, but could definitely see in your eyes how troubled you were. "Yes. 'M not gonna... do the things I did ten years back. I promise." You shook your head. "'S not what I'm worried about, Daryl... I... The world has changed around us. Being pregnant is not that 'easy' anymore..."

The archer chew on his bottom lip; listening to your every word, before he nodded again. "I know whatcha mean, sunshine. 'S nothing easy in this world anymore, but we got each other. We'll make this work, 'cause we both want tis, right?"

A single tear rolled down your cheek as you smiled. "Yes."

Your husband reciprocated your smile and hugged you tightly; reassuring.

"Let's take a look, eh?" He whispered then; slowly letting go of you. You nodded, "Let's take a look." and took Daryl's hand in yours; gently pulling him over to the small dining table. You stared at the three plastic sticks; nervosity still coursing through your veins. "D-Daryl, can you...?" He squeezed your hand and stepped closer to the table. His eyes met yours as he nodded.

You swallowed hard and took a step back; watching how his calloused fingers danced over the tests. Daryl lifted all of them up and slowly turned them in his hands; eyes focused. "A-And?" He didn't answer you; just kept on staring. "Daryl!"

At the call of his name, he finally looked up; one of the biggest smiles you had ever seen him smile stretched over his whole face. "Well... Looks like we're gonna have 'nother baby, sunshine."

You blinked; needing a moment to process his words. "They... They're positive?" Your husband nodded; still smiling broadly. "All three of 'em?" Another nod. "Yeah," Daryl stated and turned them for you to see. And indeed... They were clearly positive.

"Oh my gosh..." You clapped your hand over your mouth; tears immediately blurring your vision. Yet you saw Daryl placing the tests aside again and stepping up to you; his hands finding their way around your waist. He pressed his forehead against yours. "'M happy about this, sunshine. I truly am. This is wonderful," he said in a low voice; holding on to you. "We got this, yeah?" You nodded; happy tears rolling down your cheeks as your hands clasped gently onto the lapels of Daryl's vest. "Yeah."

Both, you and Daryl enjoyed this little moment you had together; relishing in the joy of the news.

You started to giggle; taking Daryl a bit by surprise. "Teddy's gonna be over the moon 'bout this." Your husband agreed. "Hell yeah. He 'n Dog are gonna be the best big brothers." You giggled once again; the cutest scenarios already forming in your mind. "Oh, I'm convinced by that."

I'm just rotating in my mind the headcannon of all the Joestars being ADHD/autistic/both and it takes till like part 6 for them to realize it's not just General Joestar Bizarreness... It's actually a Thing, they're not alone or broken or cursed (okay maybe they are cursed, but this is a separate thing entirely)

Thinking about how it manifests differently for each of them but they recognize these patterns, similar struggles, and then finally get a name to it...

Or in EoH/Peanut Gallery/General time travel Jolyne shares what was learned to everyone early and there is a communal moment of Realization

Just, headcannon go brrrrrrrrrrrrr

y e s s s s s s s s

all of the Joestars have a collective moment of “wait there’s a NAME for this?????”

And then even before that, specifically for things like Peanut Gallery/House of Jojo, during those moments when they’re just kinda hanging around and talking about their day to day lives they’ll have moments of “oh you do that too?” and sharing their own experiences without fully realizing it, sometimes even offering tips. Like, Josuke will make a comment about how difficult it can be to focus and Joseph with brings up hand held stims(like his clackers(those are stims you can fight me on this)), or Giorno will make a comment about how confusing Social Things can be and suddenly you’ve got all the Jojo’s sitting in a circle sharing notes about What Does This Social Thing Mean And How Are You Supposed To React.

Jolyne would definitely have suspicions, and she’s probably the only person here who would even know about it existing.

[alumi-san]

I'll forever be sad that we didn't see Josuke and Giorno interaction.

(They did meet in eoh but barely talked to each other)

[notdio]

A project spanning from January 2021 - January 2022. I think.

But remember when they were both eoh stage gimmicks together with voicelines and no one talked about it.

[zzencat]

Hello, I hope you’re doing well 💕 I saw you were giving free mini readings and I was hoping that I could get one?

I’ve been feeling very confused on what to do lately since there’s so many things I want to do or achieve but I don’t know where to start. Like I have an idea of how I want my life to be but I don’t know how to get there. I don’t know if I just have bad intuition or whatever.

So I guess my first question is how do I achieve my goals or how do I clear the confusion I have currently regarding how to achieve my goals? (For example some of my goals include learning how to connect with my spirit guides, getting a job/deciding on a career, etc.)

What is my future spouse like?

Does anybody have a crush on me currently?

My initials are E.O.H, I’m a Cancer Sun, and my emojis are 💕😜🕺. Thank you so much!

Boy oh boy EOH, get ready to read your morning newspaper 🤧

(1) Right off the bat, EOH, I should ask you: what do you think intuition is? What does it mean to you? I think a part of your fears your own intuition, maybe you think it’s a weak point of yours, or maybe you just don’t trust it. That’s the hard part and inevitably the one you’ll have to learn to trust: your gut feeling. I think you have a lot of distrust in yourself and there’s a disconnection between you, your body, and your mind. Learn to tap into your intuition slowly, sit by yourself and let your thoughts flow. Let them say whatever they want. Eventually, you’d have to learn how to recalibrate yourself and think about what you really want and need in this lifetime. I think there’s a large disconnection with your inner self that we couldn’t begin to see where to start. If you don’t already journal, I suggest that for ya!! Sometimes journaling is too slow for me so I’ll record voice memos for myself, just whatever I’m thinking or feeling, or if I’m bored. These outlets give you a voice and a chance to hear yourself out. You should recognize your efforts and give credit when and where it’s due!!

I also would recommend that you learn to focus on the good instead of the bad. Pessimism and throwing yourself and your perceptions into a negative loop isn’t healthy for your intuition either, bc it automatically creates a biased view of things and stunts you from strengthening your intuition. And you’re obviously very harsh on yourself, constantly being in a beat-up mentality, but we’re in charge of it, yeah? So recognize it and condition your mind to let go of that negativity, and naturally you will. Your intuition begins with “I” right, so “I” would have responsibility over it, in growing and nurturing it. I suggest you be more gentle with yourself and try to look at things with a more unbiased or optimistic perspective! Even when things aren’t so bright. Don’t trap yourself in the minefield of the self. Acknowledging a bad situation or circumstance doesn’t mean staying in it forever :)

I think you’re smart and you can be a bit rough with your words, so better communication skills are recommended!! Growing up with adhd and broken ass parents who fought every second, I know how it feels to sound like a socially inept rat (not saying you are one btw, ive just been there 😂😂) and because of this, I always watched YouTubers like Ryan higa (who also has adhd) or other YouTubers with their friends to see how to…talk to people, essentially. How to interact properly and not sound like an asshole or a mess or say things that would get my ass knocked down. Observation is great yk? You get to see how people talk to each other amongst their groups and see how their ways of speaking affect each other and ultimately, keep each other together. So I do recommend honing them communication skills, bc what else can humans do if they’d lost everything else but their heads? 😂🤔

I also think you’d be great in some kind of logical or leadership-ish role. Like a secretary, or someone who looks over things and make sure the delivery is executed well- ORRRR someone who mediates and plays a hand in regulating things!! But first, work on that mindset and intuition as I’d mentioned above!

As for connecting with spirit guides, you can look for messages in angel numbers like repeating numbers or specific combinations!! I usually randomly check the time, minutes on Spotify when playing songs, or license plates lmfao 😂 With time, if I randomly check it, and it’s like 4:44, I read that quickly as alignment or “yeah you’re doin something right” from my spirit guides. Now, I relay on tarot cards more than ever to talk to em. In order to establish that communication tho, start slow and something that doesn’t require much thinking. You can even say out loud, “yeah I see you guys hell yeah” when you see repeating or angel numbers somewhere. It helps you take the first step towards communication with your guides because you’re assigning definitions to things, and naturally your guides will catch on, bc they know how your subconsciousness works. Trust bro you’ll get there. At first, I was like “nah it’s all just a coincidence” but I still had a grain of believing, and later on, angel/repeating/combos of numbers became a way to foreshadow events ahead of time, which is…pretty fucking insane if you ask me.

(2) Your future spouse is emotionally mature and nurturing. They’re pretty protective of their family and balance of emotions. I think they’ve been doing a lot of reflection lately, thinking about the past, maybe visiting it physically or mentally. I think they’re someone who is creative by nature but they could be hesitant to push it out there. They’re courageous enough, but still cautious, tryin to be ready for anything. They look for stability in people and money, but sometimes they could play it too safe, be too kind, and bc of that, their own lives are put on hold or they can’t accomplish the things that they want bc they’re too busy prioritizing other people. Pretty nice person, pretty vanilla. I’d say they’re very kind and they’re learning to set up their own boundaries, esp when people try to take advantage of their heart.

I think they’ve recently gone thru something a bit sad, but they’re not letting that get them down. It was a hit and stab, and but they’re getting up and not giving up, even when the wound hasn’t fully healed yet. They’re not letting themselves go down the rabbit hole of stagnancy, and they’re using it as fuel to begin something else 🥹🥹

(3) I’m not to sure about who it is, but if it’s gonna be anyone who might be interested in you romantically, it could be someone who’s more action oriented, has mentor or leader vibes, and probably a fire sign (or has very prominent fire sign placements and a lot of them). Also a piece of advice, don’t just be accepting of anyone who might confess. Keep your standards up and clean 🫡

PHEWWW long read but I hope this gives you some clarity EOH!! Thank you for waiting 😊

[just-a-gamer-daydeamer-girl]

So… here’s my Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure Eyes of Heaven fanfic recommendations cuz I don’t see a lot of those.

Crow - Joseph has insecurities cuz of all the stories and comparisons to Jonathan, thankfully some time/space shinagagans help him bond to his grandfather. Kinda a fix it fic. Not to sure about the ending but the fluff in the rest is worth it!

To see the world with new eyes - a Giorno POV of the story of EHO, with people reacting to him being the son of DIO, him being an Animal lover, meeting and bonding with Jonathan cuz he is his father, and other fun interactions with other stand users. (Some mista/Giorno here)

A Father’s Touch - Giorno gets deaged by Allesii and gets into the same condition as Holly in part 3 having gold experience make him sick. Thankfully Jonathan is here to help him feel better.

Eyes of heaven: Story Mode - a collection of stories giving the EoH story new twists. With Jonathan struggling to get along with Jonny, a Diego POV with him dealing with being an underling, DIO trying to recruit Giorno, and the last one that isn’t fished yet but has Jotaro bonding with Joylne.

A sort of heaven - takes place after the ending and before the post credits scene, shows how the events of the game effected everyone but it mostly focuses on Jotaro and Joylne. Second time the charm.

tip on the tightrope - Joylne hangs out with Kakyoin when on standby. just a good time, a really fun fic with some heartstrings pulled at the end.

Tales from the Turtle - waiting inside an room that’s getting more and more crowded inside a turtle (it’s a tortoise!) Gets boring when your just waiting around. Thankfully there seems to be a lot of people here, time to socialize! Basically all the characters from all the parts just hanging out and keeping themselves entertained.

No Tequila This Time - A young Joseph teams up with Joylne to get a part of the holy corpse back. All they have to do is get past some guards.

Chariot's Companions - The crusaders (and Giorno’s group) see Silver Chariot Requiem and learn of Polnareff’s fate

Jonathan Joestar, The First JoJo - mostly a story focusing on Jonathan, and him meeting and bonding with his family. A lot of great stuff in this fic. Incomplete tho.

Somewhere Up There - Joylne talks to Jotaro about ….. her father, she has allot of pent up feelings and needs to talk to someone about it. Hands down this short but sweet fic is one of my favorites.

Credits to the writers (I didn’t write any of these)

[shoechoe]

Sorry I think I've talked about this before but this EOH moment where Diavolo goes "hmm maybe Trish is fine actually her stand is stupid" is like his most out of character moment in this whole damn game. That's not why he wanted to kill her LOL... He wanted to erase all existing family ties to maintain total erasure of his identity from society. Like her entire Existence is a "threat" in his eyes.

But also it's kind of hilarious to think he would see her stand has nothing to do with erasing time and just stop trying to kill her

[phantom-bats]

'ELLO BATS 👁️ i present to you a random free pass to tell me five things you love about dio 🎟️ but also no pressure 🧡

ELLO KAT ₍ ᐢ.ˬ.ᐢ₎˚୨୧

I love any excuse to talk about my schnookums so GRAZIE.

1 ~ How comically chaotic this fucker is. Genuinely never fails to amuse me. What do you MEAN he tore one of his foot bones out to give to Pucci??? Why would he even think to do that? Crazy fucker, I love him. Izzy said this, too, but him starting the stand cry back in PB... before they even had stands. What on earth prompted him to do that... And then getting BEHEADED ANYWAY? crying. he's so funny. And his favourite food was red wine?? Pookie that's not food.

2 ~ Honestly this one just feeds into my near-comical love for dark academia but him being a big reader.... oooh.... Any and every shot of him reading makes me swoon. Him having all those books... faints. Like his one big hobby being reading?? I just know we'd have the best conversations about books and literacy and themes and sentence composition and language choices. LOVE a well-read man, and damn near every time he's not being a dramatic little fuck he's reading. Just the way Araki made his character so intrinsically linked to art makes my heart swell.

3 ~ He is, unfortunately, Him. JJBA just simply would not be the same if he wasn't what kickstarted it, if he didn't loom over the plot like a horrible blond phantom, it wouldn't be the same!! He really does get brought up in like every part 1-6... He had his grubby mitts in everyone's fuckin' business and I admire that!!! Araki cannot let that fucker go!! Also,,, like,,, side-note,,, the fact that his and Diego's themes in EoH are remixes of each other... purr. Love that. Love that link. Grubby. Little. Mitts. In. Everyone's. Business. He's a wine stain you can't get out, but it's shaped like a heart so I don't want to.

4 ~ Izzy said this too (diofucker hivemind is inescapable, sorry!) but Araki saying his intended voice was meant to be SOFT? A villain with a soft voice that still remains commanding and in charge, charismatic and imposing. I'm fucking obsessed. I love Takehito for his work in the anime SO BAD. Iconic voice slay BUT ohh to hear him with a soft voice... the things I would do. 5 ~ HE'S HANDSOME. Like the fact this was a conscious choice and is something characters MENTION makes me a giggle a little. Bewitching sensuality oozing out every invisible pore PLEASE. I know that the other JJBA villains are also attractive but the fact that other characters have randomly mentioned the fact that he's attractive just makes me laugh... like he really is built different and I love him for it. I almost definitely haven't covered all my thoughts but these are what came to mind writing this... TL;DR: I love this fuckass.

Here's Izzy's Dio free pass if you want more Diofucker rambles: Izzy Rambles (lov u @emproleon)

—-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Disclaimer:

->As this arc is loosely based on the “Eyes of Heaven” you don’t need to know the whole game story, all you need to know is:

-The game’s story is about the Joestar and their allies having to fight a Dio from a alternative in which he defeated the Stardust Crusaders and reached with his stand the “over heaven” level which permit him to rewrite reality and who want to get the parts of the holy corpse from “JJBA: Steel Ball Run” to free himself from the Joestar family and reach his personnel Heaven.

-In this arc due to Dio Over Heaven’s powers, all the timelines and alternative realities from the Jojo verse are fused together and people, even those who are supposed to be dead.

-In this version of “Eyes of Heaven” there’s going to had the two Diego Brando from “Steel Ball Run”: The original Diego Brando(who for this headcanons part will be called Dino!Diego as his stand can turn him into a dinosaur and create dinosaurs) and The World!Diego(who is from an alternative reality and appeared in Steel Ball Run after Dino!Diego’s death, he is more similar in personality to Dio Brando from the original Jojo timeline and had The World as a stand.)

Pre-Eyes of Heaven:

???

Eyes of Heaven:

-So the arc begin, strangely, at the end of Stardust Crusaders after Shen Jiu was took to the hospital, Joseph, Jotaro and Polnareff were talking about all what happened and what they will do now, until a flash of light appeared out of nowhere and got blinded by it.

-When the light faded away and the trio got very confused about what was going on and got even more confused when a man suddenly run toward them and warned them they were in danger.

-The man barely warn them that they got attacked by stand enemies and after the three get rid of the enemies, they asked the stranger what is this all about?

-The man present himself as Speedwagon to which Joseph answer this is impossible as Speedwagon died of old ago long time ago but he is also very uncertain and confused as this stranger did look like a copy carbon of Speedwagon from his younger days from pictures his grandmother Erina showed him in his childhood.

-”Speedwagon” was about to try to explain when Jotaro suddenly got a dreadful feeling when realizing that Shen Jiu was alone in his hospital room when there’s stand enemies who could popped out from anywhere at any moments and quickly run toward Shen Jiu’s room much to the others’s confusion who then run after him.

-Jotaro and the others get to Shen Jiu's room and get the very bad surprise to see that Shen Jiu was nowhere to be seen. 

-Jotaro, really pissed off, tried to get Speedwagon to tell “where the fuck Shen Jiu have gone?” ‘cause he thought he had something to do with it only to have the poor Speedwagon explaining that while he know what happened to Shen Jiu he hadn’t anything to do with it.

-The explanation: like in EOH canon a Dio from an alternate dimension who defeated the Joestar and achieved a very powerful state fused all the JJBA dimensions and timeline to get a certain number of powerful souls and the saint’s corpse parts to make his stand achieved a very High power which would make this Dio practically a god.

-As for Shen Jiu: the Space and Time perturbations created by the fusion made a few people spirited away so only one version of them is there, so Shen Jiu is out there but as a past version or a future version of himself.

-Things go similar to the Eyes of Heaven canon with Jotaro, Joseph, Speedwagon and Polnareff going through dimensions and time fighting enemies and forming a group with the other jojos and all their allies/friends.

-Shen Jiu was found in the Stone Ocean time space with Jolyne, the characters from Battle Tendencies and Stardust Crusaders are very shocked to see that in the future Shen Jiu  got his eye back. 

-The Joestar group fought their way through the arc, fighting foes and possessed friends brought back from the dead to save the latter while searching for the Saint’s corpse parts.

->Other Jojo characters who joined the Joestar group after having been beaten up/convinced:

-Dino!Diego

-Donatello, Ungalo and Rikiel

-Wamuu

-Jonathan meeting and bonding with his kids and having a heartfelt talk with Shen Jiu during which he genuinely thanks Shen Jiu for having adopted Giorno and raised him.

-Wamuu finally realizing that Karz is not the honorable master he thought him to be but an power hungry monster and joins the Joestar group.

-Because he was badly marked by his death Dino!Diego decided to go with the “fuck this shit I’m out!” logic and planned on just hand over his holy piece and leave wherever he could to get away but was caught by the Joestar group before he could.

-IMPORTANT: The World!Diego is the one who allied with Dio instead of Dino!Diego.

-During a fight against Alessi and a stand ennemie who can turn someone memories into crystal shards, Shen Jiu got hit by both ennemie’s stands and was turned into a very young child. 

-And in addition of being a child again, Shen Jiu’s part of his memory have been turned into crystal shards which have been scattered and cherry on the top Shen Jiu only remember the time from when he was a slave at the Qiu and only speaks in chinese.

-Shen Jiu being very terrified of the men of the Joestar groups and clingy with the women.

-Those in the Joestar group who can understand and speak chinese: Holly, Suzie Q, Jotaro, Giorno, Lisa Lisa and Jonathan(headcanon: When he was younger Jonathan learned chinese at school ‘cause he wanted to go to China to do archeological work in addition to Egypt)

-To turn Shen Jiu back to normal the Joestar group must find and beat up Alessi and find Shen Jiu’s memory shards and inserted them back in his memory.

-The Joestar group scatter in many little groups to go search for the memory shards and to find Alessi.

-Each groups found memory shards which show them bits of Shen Jiu’s past and were horrified by what Shen Jiu seemed to had gone through.

-Jotaro's group found Alessi and beat him up into a pulp, which made Shen Jiu an adult again.

-Once all the memory shards were brought back the whole Joestar group got sucked into Shen Jiu’s memory. 

-Inside the memory, the Joestar group saw Shen Jiu’s and they were horrified and angry to see what happened to Shen Jiu, they even wanted to commit murder when they saw that Shen Jiu have been victim of unsavory crimes when he was a child slave at the Qiu.

-They were also furious against the Peak Lords for how they treated Shen Jiu.

-They also saw blurry memories of Shen Jiu’s first life and his gruesome fate, much to their horror.

-They say Shen Jiu’s memory from since his first day in the Jojo universe 

-They found Shen Jiu in the depths of his memory in a deep sleep and caged in a thick glass dome.

-When the Joestar group get to him to free him and wake him up, they get attacked by [Guangling San] who acted like a guard, keeping the group from approaching Shen Jiu.

-The Jojos take care of freeing Shen Jiu from the glass dome while the rest of the Joestar group distract [Guangling San].

-The Jojos managed to destroy the glass dome with their stands which teleport the whole group back into reality and Shen Jiu IS awake, once again an adult and his memory back. 

-The group is relief that Shen Jiu is back to normal and is safe and sound but they quickly noticed that Shen Jiu was acting strange, like he was expecting a bad reaction from them.

-The thing is, now that the Joestar group know Shen Jiu’s whole story, the latter thought they would be disgusted by him and saw him as the scum he thought to be and the fear to be hated by the ones he grew up to see as his family is really painful for Shen Jiu.

-But to his shock, the Joestar group didn’t show any disgust toward him, they even told him to stop talking about himself like that, that he wasn’t a scum, that while yes he haven’t been a good person in the past, he wasn’t a bad person either ‘cause bad people never had regrets.

-They say to him that the Shen Jiu they knew is, yes, someone with flaws but is also someone who worked hard to become a better person, someone who care for those around him, a very intelligent and talented man who hide a strong heart and who is determined to protect others no matter what and most of all, someone who is very dear to them and who is part of their family, who is one of them no matter what his past is.

-Jonathan even add that while he has done bad things, Shen Jiu still had morals and humanity despite all he had gone through, morals and humanity that many others would have throw away and who would have used their bad past as an excuse for their sadism (*cough*Dio*cough*) which Shen Jiu never did and this made him way stronger than he believed.

-The Joestar tell Shen Jiu that he is part of their family, that he is loved and unlike what he thinks he deserves to be loved and that family is always there for each other no matter what the hardships are.

-Shen Jiu, overwhelmed by the fact his family accepted him despite his past with genuine promises of love and trust, end up crying, the Mask he had put to protect himself for so long breaking down and making him finally open up to his loved ones.

-“[Congratulations! Congratulations! Congratulations! Important things must be said three times! Host had completed the mission “Open your heart, heal from the past”! Another important milestone for the main quest “The road to happiness” has been reached! Keep on with the good work host, this system is proud of you! o(≧▽≦)o]”

-The rest happen like in EOH with the Joestar group gathering the holy corpse parts and later facing Over Heaven Dio.

-Jotaro and Shen Jiu face Over Heaven Dio in the final battle, Jotaro’s [Star Platinum] achieve the over heaven level and defeat Dio once for all.

-Once Over Heaven Dio was defeated, Jotaro used [Over Heaven Star Platinum]’s powers to set everything back to normal, sacrificing his over heaven level.

Post-Eyes of Heaven:

-Like in the EOH canon, Jotaro used and sacrificed his new powers to make everything back to normal and also created a more happy timeline.

-Those changes goes like this:

-In Phantom Blood, Jonathan managed to save Zeppeli and together they fought Dio.

-Jonathan survived the ship’s fire with Erina and baby Lisa-Lisa.

-Dio survived the shipwreck by stealing the body of a sailor.

-Unfortunately, George II still died and Lisa-Lisa was still forced to go into hiding but Jonathan was here to raise Joseph with Erina and Speedwagon.

-Jonathan was alongside Joseph, Caesar and Shen Jiu to fight the Pillarmen.

-During Shen Jiu’s with the Pillarmen as an hostage he managed to put doubts in Wamuu about Kars and a trick during Joseph's and Wamuu's fight made Wamuu realize what kind of "man" Kars really was.

-Joseph fought Kars with Jonathan’s, Caesar’s, Shen Jiu’s and Wamuu’s help.

-After the “Battle Tendency” events, Jonathan, Lisa-Lisa, Joseph, Shen Jiu, Suzie Q and Speedwagon go back to New York to join back Erina. 

-Wamuu joined the Speedwagon Foundation after some negotiations and the Joestar group vouching for him and Wamuu convinced Santana to join as well after some very hard “talk”. 

-Jonathan and Erina passed away from old age together and surrounded by their loved ones.

-A servant of Dio steals Jonathan’s body, which thanks to the Hamon was still fresh even times after his death, from his grave and give it to Dio so the latter could use it.

-In “Stardust Crusaders” Kakyoin, Avdol and Iggy survived and they managed to save Shen Jiu from Dio earlier than in the first timeline.

-Joseph came clean about his infidelity way earlier and the rest of the family, especially Suzie and Shen Jiu, pushed him to have them have a meeting with Motoko to make Joseph apologize to her and fulfill his paternal duties toward Josuke.

-Things go in “Diamond is Unbreakable” like in the first timeline but the Joestar are involved in Josuke’s life way earlier.

-Unlike in the first timeline Shen Jiu and the Speedwagon Foundation managed to track down the mothers of Donatello, Rikyel and Ungalo in addition of Haruno’s(giorno’s) mother and to take the boys when it was obvious that they were in abusive households.

-Shen Jiu adopt Donatello, Haruno(Giorno), Rykiel and Ungalo.

-Things go in “Golden Wind” like in the first timeline.

-Jotaro and his wife didn’t divorce and his relationship with Jolyne is way better.

-As he wasn't able to get his hands on Donatello, Rykiel and Ungalo in this timeline, Pucci acted with his plan with more carefulness and discretion.

-Pucci framed Jolyne of a crime to had her send to prison for his plan.

-More of the Joestar's Friends, family and allies get together to face and defeat Pucci.

-In the Steel Ball Run universe, Gyro and Dino!Diego survived and Johnny and Gyro faced Valentine together.

-Now, in the present days, Shen Jiu is living a happy life with the Joestar, having gone through New steps toward healing.

-Thanks to some tricks from Shen Jiu’s system, Shen Jiu and all the Joestar and their friends/allies keep their memories from the Eyes of Heaven events and of the old timeline(yes, even the events of the reveal of Shen Jiu's past).

Additional headcanons:

-Jonathan meeting his other sons: while he is angry that Dio steal his body and use it to bring misery, sleeping around and popping kids without taking any king of responsibility, he is furious on his kids’s behalf for the bad home lives they had gone through and not having received the love and care any child deserves. 

-Jonathan bonding with Giorno, Donatello, Rikiel and Ungalo.

-At one point Jonathan and Shen Jiu had a talk and Jonathan heartfully thanks Shen Jiu for having adopted Giorno and being a good father to him.

-Some of the villains(aka Dio, Kars, Kira) who had an obsession for Shen Jiu trying to get their hands on him.

-Shen Jiu understanding Dino!Diego’s mentality as both are from similar background.

-Some infos about some of Dino!Diego’s ambiguous history parts in the AU:  

-Dino!Diego’s late “wife” in the AU: Dino!Diego indeed married his 83 years old wife for her money, however, despite what the rumors said, Diego didn’t poisoned her, before she marry Diego she learned from her family doctor that she had incurable disease and that she only had 6-7 months left to live. 

-The poor woman was a widow for years and didn’t had any relatives alive so she was devastated and saddened that her days are numbered and that she will die alone.

-It’s when she meet Diego, having heard she was a widow, rich and will soon pass away due to a sickness, he charmed her to convince her to marry him, at first she was under the young jockey’s charm but, in the end, she was very well aware that Diego only married her and stayed by her side for her money, however, despite perfectly knowing that her marriage was a lie she didn’t cared, all she cared about was that she had someone staying by her side for the few months she had left to live until her inevitable passing and despite knowing that Diego’s behavior toward her is not genuine, she grew fond of him(in a platonic way) and liked how hardworking he was.

-She died 6 months later, Diego having stayed by her side until she gave her last breath on her deathbed and she had left her fortune to Diego, who was content to finally be able to get the money.

-Dino!Diego’s involvement in Nicholas’s death: Diego is responsible for Nicholas’s death but it was by accident, however Diego feared that his future would be over so he came up with the excuse that Nicholas’s horse became out of control after it was scared by a white mouse as he remembered that Nicholas had talked to him about his little brother’s white mouse and in his mind the white mouse excuse was the most logical to say.

-Gyro, like many before him, had mistaken Shen Jiu for a beautiful lady and tried to hit on him until he realized Shen Jiu is a guy and things get awkwards.

-And despite being now aware that Shen Jiu is a man, Gyro still feel a kind of attraction toward 

-Like always, through the Eyes of Heaven arc, Shen Jiu’s system give the latter a bunch of quests and missions with ridiculous names.

-Shen Jiu having a heart to heart with Donatello, Rikiel and Ungalo about why SHen Jiu and the Speedwagon Foundation only kept an eye on Giorno’s household before Shen Jiu adopted him and not them to clear up Pucci’s lies.

-At one point in the arc, the Joestar group find Dio’s diary but instead of destroying it like Jotaro and Joseph have done in Stardust Crusaders, the Joestar group read it and when they get to the chapter about when Dio talk about his kids, Giorno, Donatello, Rikiel and Ungalo finally see how Dio don’t care about them.

-Everyone, Shen Jiu, Jonathan and the Joestar particuliary, are furious/outraged that Dio voluntarily made pregnants women who shouldn’t be mothers to had his kids in abusive homelives so they would see him as a sort of savior and be loyal to him.

-Some of the members of the Joestar group from the past, like young Joseph, young Caesar, Wamuu and part II Lisa-Lisa, being very shocked that Shen Jiu in the future will adopt a kid.

blog #2: the paradox of loving jotaro and not his anime (AKA "Great Expectations")

Part 1: falling down the jojo rabbit hole

================================================ The year was 2021. With the 'rona keeping everybody indoors, a lack of things to watch on TV, and a friend sharing memes from a certain anime called "JoJo's Bizarre Adventure..." we decided to learn more about this famous "JoJo" show. Sure, we'd previously never been all that interested in anime, but fuck it- maybe this one would be different.

At first, our level of interest was mild. The Stands were a unique power concept, the characters and plot all seemed decent enough, but nothing in particular stuck out to us from the series. Our main point of interest were the memes. The JoJokes seemed pretty funny, so we wanted to know enough about the series to understand the memes' context. But one day, while scrolling through YouTube, we stumbled across a character dialogue compilation from a game called "Eyes of Heaven." It was here when the middling interest started to become something more. While the dialogue was interesting enough (seeing Jonathan's reactions to meeting his descendants, how each character insulted Josuke's hair, etc.), it was the comments under the video that really caught our eye.

"Did you notice how polite Part 3 Jotaro is towards Jonathan? Even he knows to respect Jonathan." "I love how Part 4 Jotaro accepted Giorno as part of the Joestars, that was really wholesome." "You can hear how much Part 6 Jotaro missed the other Crusaders..." Up until this point, our perception of Jotaro Kujo was what we've commonly heard described as an uninformed stereotype: that Jotaro is just a big angry man who solves problems by punching things. Seeing comments talking about nuances in Jotaro's character- about how he was deeper than his stoic, silent behavior would let on- intrigued us. And so, we did more research; but this time, with a focus on JJBA's most famous JoJo.

To our surprise, much of the JJBA fanbase seemed to echo this sentiment. Everywhere there was Jotaro content, there were people talking about the hidden depths of Jotaro's character. How he was bad at showing his emotions, calling his mom a "bitch" despite actually caring greatly about her. How he tried to handle all of his problems alone to protect his family, even though his self-isolation created distance between them. How he was surprisingly kind, holding back from killing his enemies as an act of mercy. And then, we watched through the Eyes of Heaven cutscenes. While there's a lot to be said for the...'plot' of that game, the main thing we were there for was the ending. (Spoilers for EOH ahead) In the end, after Jotaro defeats DIO (again, except the big "same Stand power" is that they can both alter reality), the timeline is restored...but things are different. All of the Crusaders are alive. In fact, it seems ALL of the Joestars' allies in their respective parts are alive. On top of this, little Jolyne is shown accompanying Jotaro to Morioh. Though it's never outright stated in the cutscenes, it's inferred that all of these reality changes are the work of one person: Jotaro. After defeating DIO, Jotaro didn't just restore reality to how it was before DIO messed things up- he made it better. And he didn't just do this for his own life and personal circle, but for ALL of the Joestars- for every one of the allies he met during EOH's time-traveling adventure. That, for us, was what proved that Jotaro's character was so much more than he seemed on the surface. Suddenly, this anime series had something more to offer us: a character who had captured our imagination. We began looking for Jotaro-focused content, reading up on everything we could that talked about Jotaro's canonical character, and even starting to try and draw Jotaro ourselves. For our birthday that year, we were gifted a Jotaro hoodie and hat. Our own family had noticed how much we'd grown interested in this character, to the point they felt we'd like merchandise of him. As 2022 began, we finally accepted that Jotaro Kujo had made us a fan of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure. But that left us with one question...were we finally going to watch the anime? The answer was yes. Yes we were.

And I was there standing outside your door

Waiting for you to show me how to stay

~ 'Ready to Fight' by Roby Fayer & Tom Gefen

"Go home, Dixon," spoke the bartender with dreadlocks, tattooed arms and lip piercings, while she was polishing one of the glasses. Daryl sat on the other side of the bar; fifth glass of Whiskey in hands. "You've had enough, don't ya think?"

The younger Dixon brother shook his head and snuffled. "Nah. Ain't enough. Still gotta numb the pain." Chrissie - the bartender - snorted out an almost sarcastic laugh, before shaking her head as well. "Alcohol won't solve yer problem. Whatever it is."

Now Daryl was the one laughing sarcastically. "Yeah? Well, I learned it from ma old man. Didn't fail ta help him." Chrissie rolled her eyes. "You're not yer father, ya know? Try to be better than him."

Daryl answered nothing for a moment; let her words sink in. The noises around him were so loud... Clinking glasses, loud voices and 'Every Breath You Take' by 'The Police' blaring from the old jukebox in the corner - and yet all he could hear were his own thoughts and Chrissie's words.

He took another sip; swallowing hard. "'S about a girl."

The hint of a smile could be seen on the bartender's face. "Thought so." Her words caused Daryl to frown. "Why?" She rolled her eyes and took a deep breath. "'Cause it mostly is. Yer not the first man sittin' here with lovesickness and a broken heart."

Once again, Daryl said nothing and just stared at his glass of Whiskey.

"What am I gonna do?"

Chrissie shrugged her shoulders. "Look, I dunno what the problem is, but I can tell ya this..." She threw the rug over her shoulder, leaned in closer to Daryl, "Go talk to 'er. 'S better than drowning yerself in alcohol." and took his almost empty glass away. The redneck shook his head. "Ain't workin'. Already tried. She ain't believin' me." Once more shrugged Chrissie her shoulders. "Then give her a reason to believe ya."

Those words struck Daryl to the core. Give her a reason to believe ya.

He lifted his gaze to meet the bartender's. "Fuckin' hell, yer right..." Chrissie winked at him. "I know. 'M usually right." Daryl stood up from the bar stool, "'S what 'm goin' to do." threw some money on the bar and immediately turned his back to leave for the door. Chrissie smiled; eyes following his figure vanishing in the crowd.

The redneck quickly made his way home. Well, as quick as possible with being definitely tipsy.

He staggered down the few steps, which led to his and his brother Merle's old, shabby basement apartment - if you could even call it an apartment. It was one room with an even tinier room attached, which served as a bathroom.

Daryl closed the door quietly behind him, but almost stumbled over a sleeping Merle, his empty beer bottles and stacks of Playboy and motorbike magazines with hot chicks on the covers. Merle grumbled and grunted in his sleep, but luckily didn't wake up. Daryl hadn't the nerve to argue with him now.

Reaching his little corner of the room, he rummaged through a pile of magazines, bills and other paperwork, until he found what he was looking for. With a victorious smile, he took the slightly crinkled envelope and made his way to the main door again. Why didn't he think of this right away? The possible solution to the situation he was in and the cure to his heartache was right in front of his eyes for days - maybe even weeks! He just had to grab it. And that's what he did now.

Fifteen minutes later, he sat in a train; heading for Toccoa - your hometown. It took Daryl less than an hour to get to your parental home. He swallowed hard as he set foot on the porch; not exactly great memories flooding his mind.

Running his hand over his face, he took a deep breath and rang the doorbell; praying that you'd open the door and not your mom. Or, if Daryl was very unlucky and your dad would open the door, he was pretty much fucked.

Nervously chewing on his thumbnail, he heard footsteps approaching the door, before it swung open.

Life truly hated him.

Fuck, the redneck thought; fighting the urge to close his eyes.

As soon as your father's eyes met his, the older man's expression hardened. "What are you doing here?" The grey haired man spoke in a harsh voice; crossing his arms over his chest. "I told ya that I never wanted to see your fucked up ass on my yard again - and yet here you are..."

Well, let's put it that way... Your father didn't exactly like Daryl. Neither did your mother. They were convinced that he was nothing but a lost cause. A loser. An alcoholic - like his father. A junkie - and certainly very bad company.

In your mom's opinion he was too old for you and your dad said that he'd rather see you die as a single woman than being together with a man like Daryl.

The chestnut brown haired man clenched his jaw; tried to keep himself together.

"I wanna talk to Y/N. She here?" "Yeah, she is - but I won't let ya talk to her. Never again. Now get lost, before I do something I might regret."

Daryl snorted out his breath. "I ain't lettin' ya forbid me to talk to 'er. She's a grown woman. Ain't a lil' girl anymore. You can't tell her what to do!" Now your dad was laughing out loud, "What do you want to do, huh? Break into the house? Strike me down? Or even kill me right away?" before he gestured around. "Please... Do so. The cops are here faster than you can run - or wait... Are you even able to run? I'm sure you've taken a ship loads of drugs since I lastly saw your sorry ass."

Anger started to boil in the redneck's veins - and he had a really hard time controlling it. But, he also knew, that he could not fuck this up now. He was here to fix things... Not to break them even more.

"You ain't know shit 'bout me or what I do. None of yer business anyways." Your father took a threatening step closer to Daryl. "Oh, I know enough, Dixon. And since you try to get your dirty hands on my daughter, it is my business what you do," the older man snarled; raising his voice.

Daryl also took a threatening step closer; causing the both men to stand mere inches away from each other. The tension was literally cuttable with a knife - but not in the good kind of way...

"Oh yeah?! Well, lemme tell ya this then. I-"

Daryl got cut off by a voice which didn't belong to the man standing opposite him. It was your voice.

"Hey! What the hell is going on here?!" You literally stormed through the door, seeing your (boy)friend and father almost being at each other's throat. "Well, I'm tryin' to tell your junkie ex-lover to move his ass from our property." "I ain't a junkie, you-" "I am a what, huh?! C'mon, say what ya have to say!" Your father immediately cut off Daryl. In return he planted himself straight in front of your dad threateningly; chest puffing.

That was the moment you knew you had to intervene, before something bad would most likely happen. "Stop! Both of you! That's enough!" You yelled and got in between them; pushing Daryl a few steps back - and he let you. Unbeknownst to you, took your sudden touch almost his breath away.

"For fucks sake, we are all adults here! Can we please behave like such, please?!"

Daryl immediately threw you a sorrowful look; while your dad still held his distrustful gaze. You looked both men dead in the eye, "Thanks." before you directed your attention fully on Daryl. "Why are you here, Daryl?"

The redneck swallowed hard. "'M here ta talk. Please." You took a deep breath, but nodded; "Alright." then turned to face your father. "Just a few minutes, okay?" He eyed you critically. "Please, dad?" You added; hoping to get through to him.

Silent second after silent second ticked by until he finally nodded. "Alright. But if he's not gone in ten minutes, 'm calling the cops. Are we clear?" Now you were the one nodding and agreeing to your dad's 'terms'.

With a last threatening look thrown at Daryl, the older man returned inside the house.

Once more, you met the beautiful blue-greyish eyes of the man who had undoubtedly captured your heart. For quite a few moments the both of you just stared at each other, until you cleared your throat. "What do ya want to talk about?" Daryl swallowed hard again; Adam's apple bobbing. "I miss ya..." The man whispered; causing you to immediately inhale deeply. "Daryl..." "No, please... Hear me out." You shook your head; crossing your arms over your chest. "We've had this conversation about a trillion times already..." "I-I know, but..." Daryl stepped closer to you. "Please. This time, 's different." "You say that every time, Daryl. And every time I gave you another chance and every time you fuck it up again," you paused for a moment; already trying to suppress the tears, before you continued. "Look, I really want to choose you, but... You're makin' it difficult."

The chestnut brown haired man squeezed his eyes shut for a moment; feeling the chilly evening breeze brush his bare arms and slip through the holes in his jeans. Chewing on his bottom lip, he nodded. "I know. Shit, I sure know I did. And I also know that I don deserve another chance. Problem is, that I fuckin' love ya, Y/N. 'M life's shit - but it's worse without ya, so please... One more chance. 'M beggin' you."

By now you were really fighting the tears. Still did his words cut deeper than a knife - because you felt the same. "I-I miss you too and you know that I love you more than I can say, but... I don't know how long I can play this game... I don't know if I can trust you over and over again, only for you to break it."

Daryl started to shake his head and took another step closer. "Nah, ain't fuckin' it up this time." He handed you the envelope, which was stowed away in his back pocket. You took it with a frown, "Open it." but did what Daryl told you.

Unfolding the piece of paper, your eyes widened. You certainly didn't expect that. "You... You've got an invitation for a job interview?" He nodded; hope sparkling in his eyes. "I-I- Wow... Didn't expect that, but... It's great for you." The redneck shrugged his shoulders half-heartedly; "Tried ma best, I suppose." giving you the hint of a smile.

"Whatcha sayin', sunshine? One last chance?" You took another deep breath; trying to thoroughly think this through. "I ain't goin' to fuck it up... Please."

What your heart wanted was clear. There was no mistaking, but... Was it the right thing to do?

You closed your eyes for a moment; knowing already that your wit had lost the game. Your heart was stronger. "Alright," you started and reached out your hand to subtly take his in yours. Daryl shuddered at your touch; goosebumps forming on his skin. "One last chance, Mr. Dixon."

Utter relief flooded the man's face - you could tell. He smiled that sweet, crocked smile you loved so much. "Thank ya. I won't disappoint ya. I promise." You lifted your free hand and cupped his cheek; feeling his stubble on your skin. "This was never about disappointment, Daryl..."

Daryl leaned into your touch and moved even closer; his intention clear - but you pulled back. "Not now. Not here. If my dad sees..." You swallowed hard. "We should keep that - us a secret for a while. I dunno what happens if we don't do that..." The redneck took a step back; nodding and lowering his head. "Yeah... Yer right."

You gave his hand a squeeze. "You should go now... Not that my dad really calls the cops. I wouldn't want that."

Daryl knew you were right, so he dropped your hand and walked down the steps leading to your porch. "I'll see ya?" He asked you; voice filled with hope. You smiled; nodding. "Yeah."
