He's lurking by your trees, touching your branches, calling your mom who was in prison.

It's the lurk-lord.

Chapter 60 is out, and it looks like this rock man just wants a quiet life.

Yasuho's stand doesn't even have an ability, it just does whatever.

Yasuho's stand doesn't even have an ability, it just does whatever.

I highly disagree, Paisley Park centers entirely around the themes of both guidance and personal independence. From what we've seen of Yasuho as a character, she's a young lady in a crucial early point of her life without much of a guiding parental figure to speak of, since her mother seems highly irresponsible and somewhat apathetic towards her daughter a lot of the time. She may not have necessarily been lost or anything at the beginning, but it seemed like she was just going through the motions every day without something that could truly let her inquisitive nature take her anywhere. Yasuho's fateful encounter with Josuke is the starting point she needed to truly begin to grow and mature as she enters full adult life, as well as a chance for her to make a connection with someone who truly, unconditionally cares for her well-being, a thing neither of her parents or any of her school friends really provided. Josuke's quest offers a bit of much-needed direction for her to follow, as well as a focus for her inquisitive nature, and is ultimately the cause of Paisley Park's emergence. Paisley Park is Yasuho's independence and her guiding light.

All of these aspects point towards the stand's abilities; it guides Yasuho away from harm and from making bad choices when others, including her parent(s), will, can or have not. It leads her to clues and answers she seeks when nobody else has them or willingly gives them up. It grants her power to help those she cares for in their struggles (like when it guides Josuke away from Born This Way) and control over her own destiny through the choices it offers her (which is how she and Tsurugi escape Doobie Wah!). She had the potential for forging her own path in the world within herself all along, but Paisley Park's emergence is what fully unlocks it. It's a perfect stand for her and probably one of the best in all of JJBA, in my opinion.
