To start, NO HATE TO ANYONE, I’m speaking my own shitty opinion into the void. I’m not a harsh Gyjo defender in the sense I don’t get offended or feel the need to attack others that don’t ship it(though honestly this goes for all the ships I have). That being said, in the same breath I do think to myself these dudes are gay as hell. Denying that there’s no evidence that anyone could come to Gyjo feels the same way dudebros swear up and down Naruto is 100% heterosexual towards Sasuke.

My issue isn’t even people not liking a ship it’s more-so the way people want to randomly label any characters as siblings 😭. I have two issues with this, the first being the simple fact that it makes me wonder why two characters need to be directly siblings to care about each other. Saying this as someone who does have a few sibling headcanons, it almost feels people are trying to prove their closeness(Honestly, maybe I’ll make a separate post about this if I can put my words together better). The second being I feel like most of these people do not have siblings. Never in my life have I ever kissed my siblings on the lips nor remember the taste of said kiss(Naruto), or looked into my brother’s eyes and seen perfection(SBR), or had a hand on my brother’s leg that creeps up damn near his dick(SBR) but go off.

(College cafeteria setting and Johnny has a country accent)

Gyro: I know a place, best Italian food I’ve had since coming here-

Johnny: It’s not spicy is it?

Gyro: No, no, I promise. I’ll order you something you’ll like. You liked the espresso I made, right? They have affogato I know you’ll love! I’m not sure whether to order you chicken parmigiana or carbonara…

Johnny: What is ah-foh… gaw-doh?…

Gyro: What are you doing

Johnny: Huh?

Gyro: Johnny, tesoro, say carbonara for me?

Johnny: That’s easy, car-buh-naruh.(can’t roll his R)

Gyro: N-n-na-rah-rah(carefully annunciating to him)

Johnny: Narrruahhh

Gyro: We’ll work on that, now say parmigiana.

Johnny: par-me-john-uh

(Basically more of Gyro trying to fix Johnny’s pronunciation)

Hotpants, who’s sitting directly behind them comes over: How can you say carbonara but not parmigiana…?

Gyro: That’s what I’m saying! It’s American-Italian food which means it’s basically American food! Non ci credo- You’re breaking my heart, Johnny!

Johnny: …gee-awhn- Goddamnit Gyro, I’m tryin’!

Hotpants: Try harder.

Diego, joins in: It might be better if you learn how to roll your r’s.

Johnny: Shut up, Dio!

Gyro: He might have a point…

Johnny: Ah, what do I need to do? Teach me

Now that I'm no longer feeling poetic, I can't lie, I would definitely never be a jojo. I never had the thoughts that I would be, just certain moments where the jojos show their inherent good nature that I'm like "Damn, I'm sorta evil".

People often place value on familial ties but as someone who's had family members who've done less; if it was my father forced me to kill my own rat, continuously told me about my own mediocrity compared to my brother, told me I should've been the one to die over said brother, and when I became disabled cut me off, where I then went through medical malpractice and abuse then showed up to the race I barely managed to get into, where I almost died multiple times and made himself the center of attention by retelling all the horrible things he did to me... yeah, I'm not going to lie, everyone is dying.

I believe that art is whatever you make of it and here are my thoughts. There's a level of irony in Gyro's fate, he originally entered the race to grant amnesty for Marco only for him to die shortly afterwards. I didn't feel angry or sad, just a dry laugh and thought "Was this all for nothing?". Humans will die sooner or later, you can think one of two ways. Because we will die, life is meaningless. Because we will die, life has meaning. To say Gyro's death was meaningless would be to say his entire life worthless. Perhaps part of me does believe this, but Gyro Zeppeli surely would not. If he believed so, he wouldn't have entered the race in the first place.
