#dogtaro

(Also add in Jotaro in Italy and now you have Passione being wrecked by a trio of very destructive animals and their five/six erstwhile caretakers. And Coco Jumbo, who is just Vibing.)

oh my god that's hysterical tho. Like, Giorno is just Randomly Approached By This Big Fucking Dog Carrying This TINY Grey Cat And They're Both Weirdly Smart And Also Magic Apparently. He at first doesn't think too much about it, but is happy to have this new random companionship.......

and then he turns into a snake. And suddenly he thinks his new buddies are ALSO humans turned animals. He doesn't know why they sought him out, but he figures they probably couldn't deal with the guy who changed them and were trying to get more help

(he is a little upset he can't understand them as a snake, but then he thinks about it for a second and realizes Wait They're Mammals And I'm A Reptile, We Have Completely Different Ways Of Communicating and........ I guess he's not wrong?)

but also this is so funny, this whole adventure we have Giorno acting like "these idiots don't understand all the hints we're trying to drop, can you believe this guys >:/" and meanwhile Jotaro and Koichi are just......... Vibing Almost Entirely Unbothered. Sure Giorno being an animal is a little weird, but they doubt it's permanent and if they really need help they can always call the Foundation later to help them find the User

the Bucci Gang are honestly fascinated by these weird animals Bucciarati managed to find that wouldn't leave him alone. They think they're kinda weird, but they have Stands and they're also super useful in fights so....... they can't really complain. Plus, the big dog is super good at emotional comfort

also, Jotaro 100% carries around all the animals just because he can. Koichi rides on his head, Giorno is wrapped around his neck and he's gently carrying Coco in his mouth :>

Jotaro is an absolutely enormous doggo who Holly adopted as a tiny pupper and they both love each other very much. Jotaro's always had his Stand and his much higher than average intelligence, and has something of a small silent war going on with Joseph because the man swears something is up with Jotaro and Jotaro in turns takes great joy in fucking with him when nobody's looking

if Holly weren't currently dying, Joseph would've been having SUCH an I Told You So moment

initially they were planning on leaving Jotaro behind, but he somehow managed to sneak onto the plane so they're kinda stuck with him, but he's very useful so they can't exactly complain

he's also very good emotional support, which is always appreciated :D

And you can bet when Iggy shows up it's on fucking SIGHT with these two. Iggy thinks Jotaro's an arrogant suck up and Jotaro wants to punt Iggy into the sun

Plus some notes for each of the designs from when I sketched them out:

Supernova

broken tiara

Tohth prediction death mark

has every scar and injury from the Egypt trip

washed out colors

slow and weak unless Holly is in danger, then it’s back to regular speed, strength and precision

Shrimp Platinum

La Creachura :D

little shrimp hand things on sides

shrimpish tail fins

Pearls are gem bits

segmented arms

BIG tail

Dogtaro

I couldn’t figure out the face ;-;

silvery shining star

thumbs

fluffy as hell

tail does the flowy thing Star’s hair does in canon

Josuke: oh, um. You want to give me your toy?

Dog! Jotaro:

Holly: it's like "you can look, you can't touch." If he's sitting next to you with his toy, it means he likes you.

fvhdbfhvbfdv awwwwww-

Jotaro's also definitely had a couple of "no give, only throw >:[" moments over the years
