im so confused about Stands everyday of my life
like e.g. Pucci can talk through White Snake but then he yells orders at it and it’s like ‘Understood.’ like?? are u sentient??? or nah?????
I think the sentience of a Stand varies but they’re all mostly manipulable by the user?
White Snake definitely is one of the more sentient Stands.
it stresses me out so much tbh bc there seems to be no formula as to what kind of stand is gonna be sentient and which isn’t. like, you’d expect a stand like jotaro’s to be sentient but instead you have like, Sex Pistols lmao
Personally I love the lack of a formula. It goes to show that the humanoid appearance of a Stand is completely unrelated to it’s humanity. Dragon’s Dream is a dragon and a ball and it’s one of the most independent Stands. Harvest is a bunch of bees who are semi-sentient or semi-automatic.
It brings emphasis on the creepiness/alienness of the Stands. They’re just manifestations. Damn I wish I could explain this better but in short, I love Stands.
Oh I gotta mention ‘bound’ Stands too. Thoth is bound to a book and it’s 100% selfish and sentient. It writes history, completely separate from even it’s user. Love Deluxe is tied to Yukako’s hair and it’s not really sentient.
So cool.
