AU: Gojo taught Sukuna a healthier way to channel his hate

[curiousaromantic]

Sukuna: Hey Fushiguro, how old is your dad?

Fushiguro: What?

Sukuna: No, not like that. Well, it is. It is like that. How old is he? I come in the house, he was like "You wanna eat?" I said "Eat what?"

Fushiguro: First of all, put my plate down and stop hitting on Gojo!

Sukuna: Don't get mad at me! I didn't even wanna be here! Y'all the ones that wanted to be here! I wanted to go to the strip club! Man, wrap this up. I got a bunch of ones and somebody gonna get 'em. Satoru Gojo, I'm ready for the rest of the tour!

I put way too much effort into this ( based on this meme, it wouldn’t leave me alone until it was drawn — I am freee )

Gojo Satoru is the prime example of a character whose very existence is rooted in weaponisation. His dehumanisation is so severe that it serves as a point of origination for who he really is. And while it is a fact that Gojo, as the strongest sorcerer, cares very little for his inherent weaponisation, it still doesn’t make his character any less tragic. Canonically speaking, Gojo used his weaponisation to bring his long term goals into motion, without his dehumanisation, the narrative would be very fractured. This is why the hidden inventory arc was the rawest, most jarring arc of the entire series because not only does Gojo get a taste of normalcy but gets hooked onto it to the point that he, a weapon of the Jujutsu society, lets a mass murderer roam freely for ten years. Gojo’s weaponisation is tragic when you see it from the lenses of a viewer. Because at his very core, he is human, which is why his blue spring of youth serves as the point where the entire trajectory of the manga changes because it is when he experiences something akin to normalcy. Obviously this doesn’t take away from the fact that Gojo himself uses his weaponisation to his convenience and often asserts himself a weapon to fulfil his motives but it just gives a lot more dimension to his character. He is not someone who pities himself for being a weapon, because he has honed himself as a weapon, along with the very narrative but that doesn’t take away from his innate humanness.

From having a bounty on his head from the moment he was born to experiencing a taste of youth, to loving and living and losing and then dedicating himself to give the next generation of sorcerers the youth they deserve, to fighting and dying by the hands of the strongest. Gojo fulfils his role not only as a weapon but also a human.

Akaza has massive potential, there is a reason Muzan favored him and put much more pressure on him than anyone else (i never saw him reprimand another demon as strongly as he did to Akaza). With time, I also think he would have eventually gained back upper rank 2.

Sadly and fortunately, I believe the only motivator strong enough for him to achieve his peak was his love. Which was erased away the moment Muzan converted him into a demon without his consent. Because, you cannot convince me that Akaza would have accepted to transform into a demon if that meant forgetting his wife AND ALSO CONTINUE TO LIVE AN ETERNITY WITHOUT HER. When Muzan met him, Akaza implied he didn’t care if Muzan was there to kill him—but he NEVER consented to being turned into a demon.

That makes it even sadder for me. Everyone else (the kizuki) wished to transform into demons. But Akaza? He didn’t remember his human life and went on relentlessly to become stronger.

His love for his wife lasted through centuries, and even though he didn’t remember her, his principles (which he developed, out of the great respect he had for her) stayed solid. He didn’t eat women and sought to fight warriors.

He is powerful, rightfully so. His final fight left me believing that had Akaza wished to continue fighting and living as a demon, no demon slayer could have stopped him. Tomioka and Tanjiro were struggling—they cut his head and HE WAS STILL GOING.

Only because after his head was destroyed and a new one was forming, he remembered Koyuki, his wife, and his human memories. Akaza remembered and my boy chose her—everything else seemed pointless after remembering his beloved. So, he chose death, love.

AGH, and that is the reason Akaza is my favorite demon and character. He is so well written. His fighting style, perfect to go against swordsmen…Akaza baby you were just too powerful.

Rengoku-san was so, so close to cutting off Akaza's head, yet Akaza still felt more terror about dawn.

Somewhere between hard training, apparently being courted by the whole body of U.A. students, and missing his boyfriend like mad, Bakugo Katsuki is struggling to convince his friends that yes, he is in an actual relationship, even if he can't tell them with who.

It doesn't go at all like he expected. No surprise there.

Also dubbed as 7 times when Katsuki's mysterious boyfriend is brought up in conversation, and that 1 time Izuku is actually there.

I know that the joke about AO3 Wrapped is that it would be a bad idea but part of me thinks it would be so funny and chaotic if Ao3 gave you like, book recommendations

I believe that Bruce lets his kids get away with a lot of shit.

He’ll ’disappear’ for a while but Barbra and any of his kids can easily find him, but only because he allows them to.

When Bruce doesn’t want to be found, it doesn’t matter who in the batfam you’ll contact, he won’t be found until he wants to be. Don’t bother calling Superman, he’s right there alongside Bruce’s kid’s hyperventilating cause he can’t hear his crush’s fellow superhero’s heartbeat

Bruce is Batman. He can disappear just like that. The only reason why he doesn’t is cause he loves his family way to much and can’t bare the thought of worrying them.

[curiousaromantic]

Bruce doing the whole “this isn’t you Clark🥺 uwu” routine and talking down Evil!Superman but still getting injured, except Clark doesn’t remember any of it and Bruce can’t bring himself to tell him so he hides the injuries from Clark. or tries to, at least. the problem is Clark is incensed, because he thinks someone hurt Bruce and Bruce won’t tell him which means it’s someone they know, someone in the League Bruce is trying to protect. and WHY would he protect someone who splintered his wrist and nearly fractured his healed bsck all over again? who is worth that much pain and secrecy?

[curiousaromantic]

What do you think of adult survivor! Kal El mistaking Batman for a diasporic kryptonian because of the cape and because of Robin constantly hiding underneath it like a kryptonian child

Oh I love that idea. Something about Bruce just clicks in his brain right and Kal-El can’t let him (or his adorable kids) go. Something about being a protector etc…

60 Worldbuilding Questions for A/B/O fic writers

Long post, press J to skip

So we were talking on Discord about writing A/B/O worlds, and somebody was wondering when parents should find out the secondary genders of kids and such. It led to a larger discussion about things to think about when worldbuilding for A/B/O fics, and I offered to come up with a question list for people to think about. 

Feel free to reblog and add onto this, cause worldbuilding is hard for everybody but a rich world with its own history makes the fics all the better. 

World Basics

Let’s start with the world in general. 

What are the overall population ratios? Are alphas and omegas common or rare? Are the ratios stable or does your world have decreasing numbers of alphas/omegas?

Can women be alphas, can males be omegas? Can male omegas father children and can women alphas bear? Can betas have children?

Are there certain physical characteristics that people associate with one secondary or another? Ex: Heavily muscled alphas or soft omegas?

How often do heats/ruts occur on average? Can omegas only get pregnant during a heat or anytime?

How long do heats/ruts last?

Are mating bites a one-and-done, or can new mates be taken with new bites?

What about kids? Do omega bodies reject sex/children for anybody but their bonded mates?

Is there an emotional/psychic connection for bonded mates?

Can bonding bites be anywhere, or are they required to be on the neck?

Is there anything special about how bonding works? Venoms? Ceremonies? Do they have to consummate within a certain timeframe?

Think about anatomy. Do omegas have cloaca? Is it only male omegas who have cloaca, or do female omegas have two wombs? Do female alphas have enlarged bits to deliver seed?

Are chances of being an alpha or omega random, or do alpha/omega pairs have greater chances of similar children? Can people breed for better chances of one or the other?

Are birth control, heat/rut suppressants, and scent suppressants common, unavailable or illegal on a worldwide basis?

Is omega trafficking a problem?

Are there power structures based on secondary gender? Are omegas oppressed? Are alphas required to do anything near ruts to prevent violence?

Think of famous historical figures. How would they have landed on your gender scale? Was Queen Elizabeth I an alpha? What about Helen of Troy? These historical figures can lead to modern modes of thought. 

What about religion? How has religion handled the secondarys?

Are/were arranged marriages the norm?

When do people learn what they are outside of medical testing? Are they born with a mark or secondary specific trait, or is it a mystery until they present or not?

Military: Historically are any genders or secondarys not allowed to participate in the military? Are female alphas allowed? What about male omegas?

Location Basics

Ok, narrowing down to more location specific thoughts. 

How has your country or town handled specific difficulties with heats or ruts? For example: Shoji screens in Japan aren’t all that safe for an omega in heat… so has the country developed a system of safe houses or were heats particularly terrifying? Are heat rooms a thing?

What are the power structures in your specific country? Are all secondarys represented or do alphas dominate political structure?

What are the laws in your country in terms of registration? Do people have to register their secondary?

Are omegas sequestered in special compounds prior to mating or have to report to specific government controlled institutions for training or to be matched, or are they allowed to choose for themselves and interact in society?

Are birth control and suppressants legal or illegal? Are they legal only for alphas, or do omegas have to have permission of an alpha to acquire them?

Are there laws in place dictating when people have to mate or have children by?

What are the courtship customs? Are there meetings and dates? Do parents decide who will mate?

Are there things that alphas or omegas are prohibited from doing? Ex: Are omegas outlawed from professional sports in your country?

Schooling: Were all kids lumped together for school regardless of secondary? Were they separated when they presented? If it’s known from birth are omegas sent to omega-only schools?

What about customs: Are there norms about how alphas and omegas are supposed to act when interacting? Do omegas bear their scent glands in a sign of submission? Do they keep their eyes downcast in the presence of alphas? How is this different from other countries? Are there possible international problems where your alpha/omega born in one country doesn’t know the custom of another and commits a faux pas?

Alpha Basics

How are alphas generally perceived by your society? Top tier leaders, or violent thugs that are a throwback to outdated evolution?

What attracts your alphas to an omega? Scent? Body? 

What are the characteristics of a rut? Do they go prowling for omegas or hunker down and get through it?

How do knots in your world work? Long? Short? Different lengths of time for different things? Do they expand quickly inside, or grow slowly until they can’t move anymore?

How do alphas mark their mates aside from bonding bites? Do they?

How do alphas act when their mate/intended mate/children are in danger? Do they go feral?

What happens if an alpha is rejected by or lose their mate? 

If something happens to the mate of an alpha, that they couldn’t control, do they have any psychological issues from “failing” to protect their mate?

Omega Basics

How are omegas generally perceived by your society? Breeders? Regular people? Shunned?

What attracts your omegas to an alpha? Scent? Societal status?

Are omegas subject to alpha commands? All alphas, only their mates? Does it change from before mating to after?

What are the characteristics of a heat? Are they open to any alpha who comes along, or only one of their choosing?

Do your omegas nest? Only during heats, or ongoing as a source of comfort?

Do omegas reverse mark their alphas?

What does an omega do when they or their children are in danger? Do they have a response or are they completely dependent on an alpha for protection?

What happens if an omega is rejected or loses their alpha?

Do your omegas ‘drop’ in stressful or life-threatening situations?

Are there any differences in pregnancies for male omegas? Longer gestation? Shorter?

Beta Basics

How are betas generally perceived by your society?

Are your betas attracted to alphas/omegas or vice versa?

Do betas help alphas/omegas with heats or ruts, or is this frowned upon?

Are betas regarded as “safe” by either alphas or omegas when an omega is distressed?

Do betas have any restrictions on jobs etc?

Do betas play unique roles in a family structure? Ex: An alpha/omega pair has a beta third to help raise children and satisfy an alpha’s mating urges when the omega is unable due to pregnancy etc?

Are betas affected by scents? Alpha commands?

Other Basics

For the things that just don’t fit elsewhere. 

Harems/reverse Harems/Poly relationships: Do alphas tend to collect omegas and breed several? Might an omega have several alphas? Are there families that might have several in a good family dynamic? How are these arrangements perceived by society?

Heteronormativity. - Are male/female relationships regardless of secondary pushed, or with the addition of secondary genders are same-gender relationships much more accepted in your society? Do male omegas feel pressured to “look female” in order to find a mate? Do female alphas have to play up their masculine side?

Transgender people - How does the addition of secondary genders affect transgender rights? Does it make it more or less complex for a male omega to transition to female? Would a female omega have a harder time transitioning to male?

Infertility - are infertile omegas ostracized? Are they at risk of losing their mates?

Words - Mother and father? Sire and dam? Babies or pups?

Hopefully that’s a good start to help you think about the broader world around your story. 

Happy Writing!

looking at it now, jinwoo and johee had more potential to be together...

[curiousaromantic]

things I adore about Kagome:

her refusal to let anyone police her reactions to things! (“Inuyasha: Don’t cry— K: Oh, should I laugh?” and “Koga, while kidnapping her: Stop screaming! Kagome: I’LL SCREAM IF I WANT TO!” Icon.

Her bravery and boldness— even while kidnapped, “Of course not! You’ve got sacred jewel shards jammed in your legs. You don’t get bragging rights if you’re cheating, you know.”) + “You’ve got a lot of nerve, kidnapping me like that. What do you want? What are you up to?”

Her saying, “Hit the mark!” when she fires an arrow.

Her strong sense of justice and righteousness.

Fights monsters on the regular but has nightmares/dreams about school and upcoming tests

Taught herself not only archery but also how to utilize her spiritual powers when firing her arrows

Talked her way out of the Thunder Brothers’ den with Improv

Pushed Manten off of his own cloud because he was trying to pitch in with Hiten’s fight with Inuyasha/team up on Inuyasha.

Doesn’t give a single fuck about the implications of time travel or bringing items from the present to Feudal Japan, including the bicycle she hauls up the well.
