「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.

ANON. anon, anon hey, do you ever think about how the role jotaro played at the beginning of part 4 is basically the same avdol played for him in part 3? do you ever think about mirrors? about the cyclical nature of love? do you ever wonder if he realised, one of those nights alone yet again in an impersonal hotel room, nothing to fill all the empty space but himself and the soul sharing his body and the hours stretching until dawn?

do you wonder if he tried to live up to what he'd had, all those years ago – to how good he'd had it, however short a time it did last?

(not that i do, obviously. not that it fuckin' haunts me.)

also jzkrkjt listen, listen, i have a whole LIST of small things that would be cute in any relationship but which would probably OBLITERATE a 17 year old whose entire previous experience with romance is Girls Shrieking/Jostling Him For Attention and chief among them is the fact that apparently a common nickname for avdol's name is momo so like. please join me in imagining jotaro kujo, human disaster (because that boy is NOT fucking suave, i don't know what fandom is thinking that man literally OUTSOURCES his ONE LINERS) finding out about this, quietly wondering to himself what it might be like to try to call muhammed avdol, actual Hottest Man In The Universe, by a nickname just like avdol calls him jojo, and promptly jamming his hat down all the way to his fucking chin because now his face is on fire just thinking about it and oh god where's all the enemy stand users when you need to DIE

(star platinum would normally object to his user trying to harm himself, except the mental image of avdol not only allowing the nickname but smiling at them about it has made him crash catastrophically, and tech support is not available all the way out in Where-The-Fuck-Even-Are-We since mobile data has yet to be invented)
