#merman jonathan

It's Mermay once again! I've seen how a whale shark tail seems to be the most popular choice for merman! Jonathan and thought it would be fun to make a mer! Jonathan DTIYS... (in hindsight maybe I should have done this before May 1 I suppose? 😭)

Jonathan Joestar: Head of the Joestar progenitor pod, considered one of the largest mermen in history at a whopping 62 feet in length. His pod extends over several different oceans and includes the Stardust, Green Dolphin, Morioh and Passione sub-pods — he frequently makes trips between each of these sub-pods, generally to visit the other members of his bloodline and coddle their hatchlings. Furthermore, because Jonathan has a unique mix of Caretaker and Protector instincts, he also finds himself tailing ships and swimming around other aquatic vessels in an effort to defend or help them in their endeavors.

Joseph Joestar: As Jonathan’s grandson and the 3rd largest of his kin (54 feet), technically Joseph is lined up to take over the main Joestar bloodline once Jonathan gets too old/passes away — he has no intentions of doing this. He split off from the main Joestar pod once he became mature, and created a smaller pod with a man (mer) named Caesar for a spell. Ceasar helped Joseph in his battle against 4, nearly ancient Leviathan mers, resulting in severely broken ribs and collarbone for Ceasar while Joseph went missing for several months. When he turned back up, he was missing his right arm from the elbow down and swimming in a slightly tilted gait. After that, he co-created another pod with his own grandson, the Stardust Crusaders, and followed them around until he heard about his half Siren son at which point he joined the Morioh pod for a bit and picked up a little fry with a unique “glass flesh” mutation that he went on to name Shizuka.

Jotaro Kujo: Unique among mers for the fact that he has a color changing mutation, and he’s partially immune to Coaxing Siren Songs — they’re unsure as to exactly what caused this, but they’ve speculated that it’s a recessive gene from Holly. He’s INCREDIBLY dense with muscle and about the same size as Joseph. Travelled from Japan’s coasts to Africa’s in search for a cure for his mother’s sudden illness, eventually surrendering her to a facility in Egypt. For the month and a half that they were staying there, they were repeatedly under siege by followers (not pod, followers) of Dio, eventually resulting in a battle that left Avdol a double arm amputee, Kakyoin partially blind in both eyes, and Polnareff missing fins on his left side. In the years following, Jotaro stayed with the Stardust Crusaders off the coasts of Japan, taking care of his less able bodied podmates — he has Jolyne at some point, but both Jotaro and Joseph have to temporarily separate from them to check out Josuke in Morioh and deal with the serial murders of merfolk in vicinity. A few years later, he checks in on Giorno at Jonathan’s request along with Polnareff — Pol stays behind to help integrate Giorno with the Speedwagon Foundation and get the rest of Giorno’s new pod under control. Years later with the remaining Crusaders (and the addition of Shizuka) Jotaro helps Jolyne and her mother finish up agreements with the Green Dolphin Rehabilitation Center, the Crusaders deciding to settle down in a territory just outside of where Jolyne settles.

Josuke Hishigataka:

Giorno Giovanna:

Jolyne Kujoh:

He's too pure for this earth. That's why he now lives underwater

✨️BUFF FISH GRANDPA✨️

Hope it's okay I grouped both of these requests together!! (to the first anon: please let me know if you'd prefer non-chibis instead!)

mer scrunglies in love~ 🧜‍♂️💕🧜‍♂️

He tries some new methods to get around better

He keeps trying...

For Merman Joseph I'm picturing more of a green and yellow tail sort of like his scarf, but the tips of his fins are spiky and purple like his stand Hermit Purple 💜

Ooooooh! Okay, one: I’m SO glad you caught on to what I’m trying to do with the mers by combining their human outfits and their stands in their tails!

I think Jonathan would be MASSIVE! Like, big enough to have a decently sized sailboat ride his wake the same way dolphins ride the wakes of massive oil tankers. I found out that, apparently, Jonathan’s body activated a stand after Dio’s possession of it — called “The Passion”, it was basically a slightly suped up version of Hermit Purple. With that being said, Jonathan’s main mer-body would probably be a dark black-blue at the main body with brilliant golden lines and silver speckles down the central part of his sides — his fins are long and tendril-like, and electric purple, his sail is VERY tall and he has a split fluke like Ariel from The Little Mermaid. He’s able to emit brief electric pulses, though if he takes deep breaths and really focuses, he can emit a much, MUCH larger electric current.

All Joestars (except for Giorno) have split fins.

Joseph isn’t quite as big as Jonathan — Jotaro is actually just a small bit bigger than Jonathan, but only via muscle mass — but he is fairly big. Main colour is dark green, with bright yellow striation, speckled through with lighter green and yellow spattered throughout. His fins are also tendriled like Jonathan’s, though, unlike Jonathan, Joseph has short electric purple spines hidden within his bright yellow fins. His tail only has pelvic fins, his sail and his fluke in terms of fins (most mers have other fins on their arms, human spine and even anal fins).
