Honestly gettin’ pretty sick of people coming to me to trash Joseph whenever I say he’s a complicated character with a lot of nuance, so hey, here’s my take on the whole Mary-Robert-Joseph situation.

I’ll put this all under a cut so here are some disclaimers; This is full of spoilers, I’m writing this under the assumption that all the cult end stuff is non-canon, and yes, this is only one possible interpretation of the information we can glean from the character interactions (also, taken from what may later prove to be incomplete information as more endings are unlocked/glitches are fixed/content is released). I like it because I think it’s the most interesting and empathetic for all of the characters involved and because I don’t think it’s the kind of situation that necessarily has to have a “villain”.

fic – strangers [dio brando/enrico pucci] – on AO3

The knife in Dio’s pride twists and what irritates him most is that it’s so familiar now that it’s starting to feel fucking pleasant.

s’nother Pucc

i am curious, what do you think PH Dio would think of pucci in EOH?

I guess in Phantom Blood Dio’s interested in rounding up a bunch of “evil elite” he can power up into super zombie minions. The version of Pucci that Dio spends time with in Stone Ocean, that Pucci isn’t evil yet, it’s still raw potential. So I don’t think PB Dio would “get” why Stone Ocean Dio took an interest in seminary student Pucci. But the Pucci in EoH, that’s full-on evil adult Pucci, so I think PB Dio’d be okay with him.
