something I keep circling around with dandadan is like. the sort of omnipresent miasma of sexual violence that seems to pervade the character’s lives? and it’s interesting bc even when you get introduced to the guy who would traditionally be the sex pest of the manga, the weirdest thing he ever does is make middle schooler off color jokes bc he thinks that’s why girls like okarun. the sexual violence is always something external to these characters that even the boys aren’t really safe from - ffs half the manga up to this point is about the theft of okarun’s balls, which while funny is ultimately a result of turbo granny assaulting him and eating his goddamn dick. and as much as it comes off as fanservice sometimes (the girls stripping to fight in the water comes to mind) these scenes just as often are genuinely unsettling and scary. idk it’s just interesting to me bc it comes up over and over again (most recently w/kouki and the naked pictures used as blackmail) while also being something the characters themselves rarely engage with after the fact beyond joking.

I really do like when Sanji is written that he adores women, puts them on a pedestal, doesnt fight them not because he thinks women are weak but because he genuinely truely thinks that if a woman wants to hit you then you deserve to be hit.

And Sanji hides away any part of himself he thinks is feminine, because he sees women as lovely and wonderful and deserving love and kindness - but he doesnt believe any of that about himself

To all the people watching Dandadan and not sure why Seiko doesn’t actually look like a granny, just know that even manga readers don’t know yet. I’ve seen a lot of posts making Seiko look older and more like a grandma which I 100% appreciate, but also I think it’s a disservice to the writing to treat Seiko’s looks like simple fan service. There has to be more backstory, such as how we get from this:

To this:

In the space of like, a decade. Also note how her face is never shown in Chapter 1 when she’s wearing more traditional shrine clothes. Clearly something is up (fingers crossed that the new arc explains some of this actually). Maybe she’s Benjamin Buttoning, maybe she’s using magic, maybe she’s a time traveler - who knows with this manga tbh

happy another whole year of law, everyone. here's to more Laws, color palettes that arent just blue, and hopefully traditional pieces in 2025 🥂

Explicit - 13 Chapters; 93,000 words

Felt the need to flesh out the school life aspects of JJK a bit more and explore an idea for a cursed technique I had via an original character (Ayame Arai). What started out as being horny for Nanami suddenly turned into something a lot more expansive. Her role is as canon-compliant as I could make it and this work contains a lot of philosophizing about the world of JJK. Watch as our protagonist attempts to provide a quality education for her adopted children (I mean, students) in the midst of trauma, exploitation, constant sensory overload, and her own life choices.

Just leaving these here, because this is where I mentally am right now.

I’m honestly surprised I haven’t seen more theories about Jeeves and Damian’s (potentially biological) relationship. They look like they could be brothers, just as much as he and Demetrius:

Damian obviously takes after his mother, but Jeeves has many of the same traits as well - dark hair, thinner eyes, bigger irises. He’s also quite parental with Damian (in a different, more brotherly or intimate way than what we see with Martha and Becky) and unusually close to Melinda.

My current theory is that he’s either Melinda’s brother or he’s Damian’s actual father. The latter of which being a world-shattering revelation for this story. Not 100% sure which I like more, through I’m probably leaning towards uncle. Desmond being Damian’s father certainly fits with the “family is what you create and love, regardless of parentage” theme. Jeeves being his uncle creates a Yor/Yuri parallel, implies Melinda is from a lower social status, and gives Desmond leverage over her. However, Jeeves being his father opens up the “fake families” and “everyone has secrets” theme more while presenting a major obstacle for the mission. Operation Strix being built entirely on a lie would be a spicy plotline

Bonus: Jeeves smiling at Damian just like Loid does when they both are trying to assure him that Desmond loves him

I've seen quite a few people complaining about the first episode of DanDaDan and claiming it "sexualized Momo", "was too freakish" and "the SA scene wasn't necessary".

As if... That wasn't... The whole fucking point.

I actually appreciate the freakish alien SA scene. It of course has layers of comedy because this thing never stops being a romantic comedy with freakish and shonen shit, but that doesn't make it any less good of a representation.

It's almost as if Momo's first interactions with men weren't her being treated like shit or as an object as a juxtaposition with the way Okarun treats her... Gyaru's and other japanese subcultures have been hypersexualized over the years. Women get kidnapped and raped every fucking day. Do you expect the fucked up aliens to do it in a respectful, pretty way? Do we just cut to the next scene and miss the whole fucking point about Momo saving herself without Okarun's powers, but hers? I get that the animation is gorgeous and all but that doesn't make Momo look sexualized in any way. Wow! A girl in her underwear because she's about to get SA! I wonder what the author might mean by this! I'm sure he's trying to sexualize her instead of using it as a plot device and development for her character! (That last part was sarcasm, btw).

I can't believe I'm here explaining this.

I guess I just like the fact that Momo goes from dating a jerk and being kidnapped to be SA to falling for a normal guy who respects her boundaries and treats her like a human being and they don't make a huge deal about him being decent to her. Call me crazy, but maybe the whole "I won't let anyone hurt her" scene was necessary for both characters.

Also, the whole show is about a guy losing his dick and getting it back so I think there's gonna be some nudity involved and the fact that people can't handle it probably means it's their own problem. Skill issue.

I need to see Loid Forger lose control.

And not in the "I punched the table because you were a dick to my daughter" kind of way.

I need cold, violent rage. I need every skill, every instinct he's garnered over a decade of spywork to rise collectively to the surface, a sinister blade in his hands, and for him to make the choice to use it, to succumb to it, consequences damned. I need him to go feral, but in a way that is so brutally efficient, so artfully savage that every vicious action is wrought with unquestionable intention.

I need to see him

Lose

His

Shit.

That is all.

It always feels a bit ridiculous when I see people characterise Gojo as someone who, just like Geto, sees non shamans as only the reason curses exist and as a bad thing

Like listen i love feral Gojo. I write him feral myself.

But a very interesting part of his personality to me is the fact that he’s not kind. Inherently and due to his upbringing, Gojo is the last person you would call kind or considerate. The special and beautiful thing about him is that he chooses to be kind. He chose to teach kids despite having no social skills and no knowledge of how to teach. He knowingly chose the thing he’s the worst at because he wants to help the next generation, when he could have just stick to his job or clan

He’s annoying and childish but he tries to be kind so badly. He helps lost kids, carries bags for old ladies. Part of it is probably the moral compass Geto instilled in him (who, as ive said before, is kind. They’re a good dichotomy of nature vs will. Geto is kind and chooses to be cruel)

But a lot of it is also just consequences of him trying and trying and failing and still trying to be kind. Is he the best parent for Fushiguros? Probably not. Is he the best teacher? Up for debate but maybe

But no one else wanted the Fushiguro siblings. There are no other teachers at Jujutsu High.

While i get the appeal of edgy cruel Gojo, idk. It just feels so wrong to write him as cruel and petty when he’s anything but. He sucks at being kind, he sucks at being a good friend or a parent. But he’s trying, he actively goes against all that he’s been taught, against his nature, to care for others. That feels important, that feels meaningful. This is the most important part. He doesn’t want a reward or recognition he wants for the kids to have a better future at the expense of his own. Idk what to tell you i can’t in good conscience undermine all his effort in being kind. He’s a walking tragedy but he has been swimming against the current for as long as he lived
