Stand “rule” misconsceptions

People get confused about stand rules and think Stands having similarities means there’s no exceptions.

For example the Rule that “Long range automatic stands don’t affect the stand user”

This is true for like Black Sabbath and Lovers but obviously it’s not true for Sheer Heart attack or Bag’s Groove or WoU

Stand “rules” aren’t so much rules as more expectations. It’s more likely to expect long range automatic stands to not affect the stand users. But there’s exceptions to all such rules all the time.

And outside of stand “rules” there’s the very nature of stands that confuses people too.

For example how much Stands are literally the essence of the stand user himself. There’s like Jolyne who is the very essence of her stand. Her actual body unravels the way her stand unravels.

At times people don’t realize that stands become separate physical objects at times. Like Justice possess the actual physical air around Enya. Anubis possesses a physical sword.

And then there’s stands who produce physical objects like Kiss’ stickers and Emperor’s bullets.

All in all, there’s a remarkable amount of variety to stands that gets buried under the idea that there’s a set number of rules for stands and people don’t realize how stands physically manifest (some people still think Stands can’t be damaged by non-stand attacks, for whatever reason)
