It occured to me the other day that Ghiaccio would totally throw a sperg-tantrum over the fact that people call his stand's namesake album "The White Album" when the it is in fact titled "The Beatles." The plebs fail to grasp the nuance of the "The BEATLES" embossed on the cover not merely being the byline, but both the byline and the title of the album itself.

re: gay jojo talk: sexuality is kind of irrelevant to a lot of it(at least on a romantic level) and trying to boil down the protagonists' friendships to "are they boning y/n" does it a disservice imo

shipping characters together and imagining if they are boning is a favorite pastime of nerds but in the case of jojo the fans don't really have to ship them or imagine it

He's chilling with his old buddy in a better place now, pointedly refusing to look down on Giorno's poo poo even though that's totally a thing ghosts can do.

Yu Yu Hakusho ended the year before Vento Aureo began, and had at least one canon gay couple.

Some people say that Jojo's Bizarre Adventure tends to have asspulls.

Joseph just takes that a bit more literally than most characters. :v:

Mista didn't fulfill his quota of being shot by his own bullets.

It's like Polnareff and toilets (or mirrors). It has to happen once every fight.

The only LGBT characters I recall from YYH were antagonists, so same situation as Vento Aureo? Though I know Togashi had wanted to write a manga with a trans protagonist and got shot down.

I can understand why people don't like it when Gold Experience can make Vaccine Snake or when it can't work in low temperatures, because these traits conveniently appear for one fight and are never mentioned before or since.

But, this episode, Giorno uses Gold Experience to:
-Make a tree
-Make a bug
-Make the bug return to a person it encountered before
-Punch

and like, these are things Gold Experience has been doing since episode 1. It seems very silly to still be hung up on this 30 episodes later.

*I was wrong, Gold Experience punches a guy for the first time in episode 2

The only thing I'm confused by is why Chocolate jumped to attack Giorno instead of staying the course and slitting Mista's throat if he was still able to move.

And even with the low temperatures, it's not like that's likely to come up again anyway because they're in the Mediterranean. Giorno being on Earth means Gold Experience works fine because life can exist on Earth. I never thought of White Album as a point of contention just because it's hard for plants and poo poo to be exist in White Album temperatures. It doesn't really need to come up again.

it's not really his fault that everyone has a bullshit bullet-deflecting power, poor mista

Abbachio could heal injuries on people by 'rewinding' them but refused to do so while Giorno was around as a way of hazing the new guy.
