It's...let me try to phrase that differently. Star's tough and can be really dangerous in a fight, I know that from experience on both sides of it. He even looks like a threat, if someone doesn't know any better. But there's a lot more to him than that--what I mean is that he's not just as straightforward as 'punch it until it stops moving'.
[So basically a giant punchy kitten.]
So he's exactly what any Stand is; a reflection of its user.
[He closed his eyes, seeming to withdraw inwardly for a fraction of a second, and in the next moment after that, strong purple arms gently circled around Kakyoin from behind.]
Y-yeah. [He was startled for just a second at the sudden appearance. but Kakyoin quickly relaxed and leaned back in much the same way as Jotaro with Hierophant.]
It's hard for me to imagine having one for my whole life. Can you imagine what it'd have been like, if I could've stopped time at three or four years old? Or worse, if Star had been putting other kids in the hospital after playground fights at recess?
[...]
I'm sure he'd be a lot different, if that were how it'd been. I think...a lot of what we did made him who he is now.
[Mmm. Good. The sight of Kakyoin laughing was always good.]
There was a guy once, whose Stand did that. Reverted you back to a younger age. He did it to me and I lost Star, because I didn't have him when I was young. The bastard...
I think I remember hearing Polnareff complain about something like that when I got back. That probably would have even given me a lot of trouble, if I think about it.
[Phantom snuggling feels so strange and yet so weirdly good. Especially when he has coils of Hierophant to sink down into like a particularly tentacle-y scarf.]

The long version?

But I guess it doesn't make enough of a difference for me to bother arguing about it.
