[Standverse] WE'RE ALL STARS TOO!!

If it was involved at all it would be kept separately from the rest of Sticky Gang or GER's Court, trapped within its own little box (quite literally) that, on the inside, is like M. C. Escher's "Another World". This is both due to the nature of it's attachment to Specchio (not being able to be removed from the waist down) and the sort of meta aspect of it not being a real or "canon" stand. It's basically chained to these pools, each which are formed where the "arches" of the painting are. In short, other stands can come in - but it cannot leave (unless there were a stand able to 'capture' it, like Whitesnake).

Hemispheres stays here, lonely, maybe acting like an oracle of sorts (connecting back to Specchio's connection to the "previous" universe) - if it had any part in this AU, I imagine it would exist to provide hints on how to return the stands to their users... or be the one to break the news that they may never return? If it ever saw Sticky Gang again, it would probably show visible sadness and longing, which is interesting given how usually expressionless it is with that mannequin-like face. It probably still holds on to its users feelings and knows how much the team meant to him.

Maybe its little "realm" could be a sort of safehouse for when/if Sticky Gang or even La Squadra (La Standra?) escapes the Court of King Crimson, or wherever they're shown to be in the most recent update. It'd be especially useful as a hideout for the latter team, actually, given its ability to create mirrors would be especially useful for Man in the Mirror. If only it could escape and free them now!

Then, there's also Janus (or Hemispheres Requiem, sort of). Given it might have been entirely erased by the universe swap, Janus may not even make an appearance - that and the fact that it's more like Mikitaka's stand and is a strange hybrid of both Hemispheres and the fate-changing ability given to Specchio by Genesis, who is a stand deity (meaning there is no user, there's just... stand. Sort of. It's more just innate to the body like Earth, Wind, and Fire is.) Maybe Janus is more of an oracle - it would only appear in the reflections of the pools of water, not able to truly "manifest" in the realm (or maybe even the Standverse at all). Regardless, it is the only one able to "be" with Hemispheres, so they have a lot to talk about regarding multiverses and the crossing of timelines, even if Hemispheres isn't really the "vocal" one here.

"Just because our users are close, doesn't mean I share those feelings towards you."

Been real obsessed with @brightgoat 's Standverse as of late. Punk Tactics has a certain level of fondness towards Giorno like Fyodor does, but that was because of his dream, which GER does not share.

Canonically very in-sync and protective of D3 to the point where it’s sometimes telling D3 what to do so I know the separation is fucking Cleanup Man up

GER has to have this Mf in a infinite torture cell room somewhere bc the only thing keeping D3 away from the infinite deathloop in Junius B is that they hiding from Passione while also being a sea and continent away from Giovanna. Also refusing to fight Giovanna directly bc D3 knows they’ll get Insta killed most likely

If they are free, Cleanup Man is 100% Team King Crimson. Or, it’s Team Itself and a random third party that’s causing problems

Even tho D3 and Enrico Pucci have a very close surrogate father-child type relationship, I don’t think Whitesnake and Cleanup Man would be close bc D3 doesn’t even know he’s a Stand User (and Enrico doesn’t D3 is a Stand User). D3 is from the Ireneverse and Whitesnake is the OG Universe so Cleanup Man doesn’t even have a reference for Whitesnake’s Enrico Pucci. They’d probably still seek Whitesnake’s validation and love though.

It’s prior form, Gëek High, probably isn’t around because Cleanup Man is still Gëek High deep down. It’s just an advanced, more confident version

Speaking of, Cleanup Man probably wouldn’t be friendly with “Dreams and Nightmares” and “In My Car” just because the whole Passione Beef

Still just as terrified of Fugo and his Stand as D3 is.

Wouldn’t fuck with Killer Queen just because of who Killer Queen’s user is.

Definitely trying to be besties with The World. Probably not succeeding at it just bc of how intense Cleanup Man’s personality is.

Is completely neutral towards the Joestars’ Stands, outside of GER and Golden Experience

Probably thinks Golden Experience is a loser because Giovanna stopped using it in exchange for GER which is nothing like it. Also isn’t intimidated by Golden Experience bc I don’t think a fifteen year old D3 would be irked by a fifteen year old Giorno Giovanna—just given how drastically different their life paths were

Still physically weak as fuck

Another one thank you ☺️

It's based on @brightgoat 's au

I really liked that idea sooooo yeeeaahhh...

Anyway, heres Bernadette's power and persona description
