Not that anon who sent you the ask about Jotavdol before but my favorite 'fanwork' of them comes from the OVA character designer himself Junichi Hayama. A lot of people repost his art of Avdol lighting Jotaro's cigarette for him, but not a lot of people include his little dialogue exchange to go along with it.
「いつもすまねぇな」
「キミは未成年だろ?」
「細かいこと言ってるとハゲるぜ」
Which I roughly translate as
Jotaro: Sorry about this [not having a lighter]
Avdol: Aren't you too young to smoke?
Jotaro: If you keep worrying about all the details, your hair will fall out.
It's such a warm and affectionate piece of art, I think about it all the time, and I love the way it fits in like a missing scene for the OVA where Avdol also lights his cigarette for him
my beloved anon 2: electric bogaloo, i want you to know the conversation tidbit is ENTIRELY new information to me and i got punched in the feelings by it like the fist of a fluffy vengeful god (so basically star platinum or something) so hard i had to put my phone down for a second and go HHHHHHHHH into my hands like an absolute FOOL
that is SO like the dynamic i picture for them i'm just sitting here making hysterical teakettle noises and gjzkkfkr GODDDDD. i can't keep my cool i CAN'T i haven't been trained for this!!!! i'm gonna go print that art on a cake and EAT it or something. junichi hayama and i are sworn brothers now and i'm mailing him my firstborn as soon as i procure one
(you of course are getting the secondborn for opening my eyes to this new and wonderful world i wasn't aware of where someone other than me and og anon wants to see the boys interact
(or possibly more??? question mark???? HAYAMA-SENSEI I'M OUTSIDE AND I NEED ANSWERS))
god i do love that even without seeing the art itself you can just sense the affection and camaraderie between them. at this point my shipping goggles don't even need to be involved, i'm just glad to be here. that kinda dialogue feels super fitting for them, too, especially considering the end of the jail scene where avdol just Stops fighting and sits down all chill because 'hey i only said i'd get you out and i did 😌' – he started them on the path of subtle teasing and now it's jotaro's turn to dish.
ty again for this wonderful knowledge and happy 2024!!!! 💖🎉🎊 the year of jotavdol is already going great 🔥✨🔥
