Diego week day 3 for the AU prompt. Had an idea for a Luchador AU a while back because I love combining my interests. Recently decided to re visit the idea by updating the outfits starting with Diego. Big show off in the ring and enjoys playing the heel. Makes a great tag team with HotPants.

My late entry for Diego week. For the mother prompt! Inspired by the Venus and Amor marble sculpture cuz it’s pretty and motherly 🥺

I’m so late bc I haven’t done shit but this was for the coffee prompt assffghh. Not pictured was Johnny and Gyro putting this in their epic Diego fail comp and HP putting gta wasted screen over it for them 💋☕️

the final day of diego week was a 'free day' prompt, so my bestie @pinkdiego and i did a.. collab of sorts LOL, aka i drew my modern au diego and she beat the fuck out of his face and tossed him into a pink paradise 🩷💜💅🎀 i looove how this turned out, it's so fun and representative of so many of our unhinged phone conversations about giving him the princess treatment 🥰

Free Day : beach episode ⛱️ god , and what I wouldn't give to be in his position right now...

Anywho, he feels so sigma guys, trust.

Something work related came up and I won't be able to draw anything more for Diego Brando week but here's what I would've drawn for the prompt coffee. 😔

Future : I'm constantly thinking how beautiful it would be if Diego, as the Alternative version of Dio, could have been a great juxtaposition to his original counterpart. If only he got to see how his grudge and anger failed him and he had a chance to live a more peaceful life . Instead of having kids due to his lust or plan to use their powers at a later time , the idea of HP and Diego escaping the ghosts of their past that haunt them and wanting to mend their wrongs by bringing up a family that would be all about protecting and teaching them their worthiness ... Makes my heart feel things you know . I DONT EVEN WANT KIDS OF MY OWN, but I think how HP's is very nurturing and caring of life, especially after what she's lost and how broken she's felt for it, and Diego wants to show he is NOTHING like his father and will prove it by being the silliest , whackiest DINO dad ever . Another thing is how I think the moment Diego becomes a dad , although terrified at first, is also the moment his hatred for his father amplifies. How can you have this, and abandon it ? Okay but how cool is it to go to school and when someone bullies you or your brothers you go "MY DAD IS A DINOSAUR YOU BETTER NOT MESS WITH US"

predictably i had to go with the 'fashion' prompt for day six of diego week.. i put my modern au diego in an outfit from a vintage ralph lauren ad, which is different than what i'd normally dress him in but i think he looks very handsomeee 🥰

Hot Pants: “It’s two in the morning, come to bed!!”

I always imagined that recovering from being in his Scary Monsters form must be very painful for him. I think his mouth would take a while to heal back.

Feeling Less than Human. I don't think it's mentioned often how Diego acquired his stand by sheer willpower and spite alone , when it was forced upon him by Dr.Fernidad. Diego, has clawed his way out of the hole he was put into by the world, and Scary Monsters represents to me the way he feels, that becoming invincible, a monster , someone others fear, would make him feel victorious. As part of the appearance, Diego never really saw what he looked like in his hybrid form. I feel very alone in being someone who highlights that form of his, I genuinely find it worth analysing and adoring too. Not feeling human enough, not feeling monstrous enough. At the end of the day, as much as I think Diego tries to appear as confident and untouchable, he really would benefit from being reminded that he is human, no matter what . Anyway I love Diego this is for the prompt: Angst/ Fluff , you have no idea how much I love to analyse them, I hope it finds the people that love him too

I'll admit this isn't my best work but I'm way behind for Diego Brando Week and had to post something. 😔 For day 2, I chose ambition because I have family in New York and they've been telling me about the process of the mayoral election and I've been furiously taking notes for when Diego eventually runs for mayor himself. I think he would be so funny and ruthless. He would ruin entire careers during the debate stage. 💀
