joseph for the meta meme? :eyes:
Send me a topic to write a meta about my muse onăalways acceptingă@outplaysâ
Thereâs so much I could write about this one I donât even know where to begin! Okay, by this point, itâs no news to anyone that Speedy loves Joseph dearly, and it seems to be the same the other way around as well (judging by some of the events shown throughout Battle Tendency). I have these headcanons that these two have always kind of teamed up and became some sort of partners in crime since Joseph was little. âCrimeâ as in Speedy would sometimes bring in extra candies to share with little Jojo behind Erinaâs back âgod bless her for dealing with these two tbhâ and stuff of that sort. Speedy has always played the âcool parentâ role in my views, always bringing (or sending, whenever heâs far away for super long periods of time due to work stuff) presents for Jojo to enjoy: Comic books, toys, etc. You name them, really.
And, of course, whenever he comes back, both are super excited to see each other to the point where, after a long day of spending time together, they end up falling asleep on the couch while Speedy was reading Jojo a story. This whole dynamic changes as Joseph grows up, though, but it remains somewhat the same in some aspects, with them spending some quality time together and still being partners in crime. This time a bit more in a âhey, uncle Speedy⌠teach me how to pickpocket like a pro!!â kind of way. And Speedwagon is reluctant at first but, after a good while with Joseph asking him nonstop, he finally ends up teaching him a bunch of the tricks he learned during his Ogre Street days âyâknow, cool and innocent stuff like mugging, using knives (the bowler hat, included), how to shoot guns, how to properly hide the evidence of some of your crimes, and stuff like thatâ, not before making Jojo promise he wonât tell his Granny about any of this EVER (though she eventually finds out and Robert fears for his life like he hasnât in a long time, but thatâs another story).
In general, it doesnât matter how much of a little shit Joseph can be at times and all the trouble he might get himself and Speedy (sometimes) too into, his uncle loves him dearly and always will, and will always be by his side, even after death, âcause, yâknow, the Speedwagon Foundation ;âD
I almost forget to mention that Speedwagon also loves to tell Jojo stories about Jonathan and George II and all the great things both did, and how much of a gentleman both were, and how proud Joseph should be of being a Joestar. Same applies to Lisa Lisa, who he also has told him stories about. The stories about her arenât as many as those about the other two, though, this due to the fact that he didnât get the chance to spend as much time with her after Straizo adopted her.
Thereâre some other bits I could add here, but those go more down the angsty road, so I figured Iâd cover the happier ones here only. I can add the sad stuff later too if you wish! So just let me know!
