Casual_Contortionist

I am the contortionist. Nice to meet you. I write on AO3 and here. Things will be happening soon. Be aware of this. Incase anyone couldn't guess, I will mainly be writing about JJBA, who would've known. I hope you enjoy my work.

Be prepared for what's to come I guess.

He is an active suicide risk the first month or so after joining Bruno. He's still watched very closely

Wears trad-goth make-up sometimes, he enjoys it, it makes him feel safe.

He is not aware of his own queer identity for a LONGGGGGG time, it take a lot of soul searching to find himself.

He smells like cherry, lavender, and wine

Taste in music is metal, soft jazz, lofi. Nothing else.

He's got a natural curl to his hair that the straitens out. (the way his hair flicks up at the ends, please see my vision)

Doesn't like to smoke or the smell of it.

Will drink any alcohol. No matter how shitty. If he's in a 'Give me a fucking drink' mood all bets are off.

Messes with Mista by purposely having 4 around.

He speaks third best English in the group (after Fugo and Giorno)

Cannot touch his toes, he's the least flexible member in pt 5

Has every shade of purple lipstick you could imagine. All the shades

Once he reaches like 30 he can't fucking see, he needs glasses for everything.

Has chronic pain, mostly in his back and shoulders from the drinking and constant dehydration.

In an everyone lives AU he would be pissed he was brought back and saved. He didn't consent to that.

His favorite stone is blue topaz.

After Mista joins Abbacchio had broken his sober streak, but he had strict rules for himself. No more than two or three drinks per day. No drinking on jobs. Things like that.

A lot of people write Giorno and Dio meeting as a happy event, where Giorno is happy to see Dio and Dio loves his kid. That sadly is not what would happen. Dio being the vile creature he is would get murdered by his son who despite being the leader of the Italian mafia has strict and unmovable morals.

Another thing I see is the idea that Giorno would have some big reaction to learning that his father is dead or meeting Jotaro who killed Dio. He wouldn't. Sure maybe somewhere deep down in his body he would feel a twinge of anger but it wouldn't be for Dio or at Jotaro it would be at himself for being disappointed. He built an image of Dio in his head and reality didn't match. I think Giorno would completely understand that Dio had to die. In fact I think that if Giorno was in Jotaro's shoes he would have done it himself.

Fair warning, I'm going to hurt everyone with this one. Sorry in advance!

Bucciarati is such an incredible character...

In his backstory we see him make a choice to stay with his father. Not because he wanted to chose a parent, no child ever does, but because he as a young child was able to see emotions and process things that many adults wouldn't even pick up on. Bucciarati chose to live with his father to keep his father alive. He did everything in his power in order to keep his father alive, and to protect his father. Including becoming a 'murderer' at 12 (I believe that's how old he was) when he killed two men to save his father. Bucciarati then decided, since he'd already killed two people he may as well take the leap and join the mafia to secure protection to his family that needed it.

Bucciarati recruited Fugo. An angry, volatile, and incredibly intelligent child. He claimed to want Fugo to join him because of how smart he was. I think it's because Bucciarati saw himself in Fugo. He saw an angry boy who was struggling and empathized with him. Bucciarati saw himself at 12 after he'd just killed two men in Pannacotta Fugo and decided he would take care of him. Because that was him.

Bruno then found Abbacchio. A former police officer who had nothing left to live for. Bucciarati saw in Abbacchio what he himself felt. Blame for a death of another. Guilt over that death slowly eating away at Abbacchio as it once did Bucciarati. And Bucciarati decides to ask Abbacchio to join him. And this saves his life. I will always stand by the claim that Abbacchio would have killed himself if Bruno didn't get him. And with the fact that we see Bucciarati have an innate ability to see the emotions others are feeling since a very young age (like with his father) it's very likely he knew that if Leone Abbacchio didn't join him he'd end up dead.

Narancia Ghirga is a very different case however. Bucciarati didn't want to pull him into the mafia life. It was Fugo that found Narancia and Fugo who brought him to Bucciarati. Narancia was sick, starving, and abandoned by everyone he knew, he was at the lowest point of his life. Bucciarati lifted him up, because he knew what that low does to a person. He wanted to give Narancia a chance to live. And Narancia out of admiration joined the mafia. He asked for forgiveness rather than permission.

Then Guido Mista, who did the right thing. Mista who saved a woman from being raped. Mista who went to jail for defending himself and a woman he didn't know. Bucciarati bailed him out of jail and asked him to join his group. Because he and Mista did the same thing. They both became murderers trying to defend someone. Bucciarati being a child is likely why they called his case strictly self defense. Mista being much older was persecuted and jailed for essentially the same thing Bucciarati did. And he wouldn't stand for that.

Bruno Bucciarati seeing the drugs the boss peddled, and forming the thought to betray the boss because of it. This was way before he met Giorno or Trish. It was because the boss had indirectly killed his father. But Bucciarati didn't act on it. He didn't even plan something. Because he was scared, not for himself, but for the family he built from the ground up. For the children he took under his wing, for the men he'd grown to care about, for the people who became his home.

Then, Giorno Giovanna comes along. Giorno Giovanna who is like him. Who can read people's emotions and intention. Who is burdened by memories of his childhood. Who has the same dream of ridding his home of drugs being peddled to children. Giorno fucking Giovanna who is 15 years old, and has a plan and a dream. And Bucciarati can just see that he will accomplish it. And this blonde boy brought the courage Bucciarati needed to put his plan into motion.

And he let his team join him in that plan after the boss tried to kill Trish. A girl they'd protected with all their might, a girl Bucciarati couldn't just watch die. A girl he again saw himself in. He couldn't let that happen.
