based on chapter 4 of the fic by @hollow-lime-green

hi hana!! so i’ve been obsessed w this since string theory: can you tell us a little bit more about your interpretation of the six eyes? i know it’s said that satoru can see in thermal and infrared, is there anything else he can see?

Oh yeah! This is a fun question! I just got stuck in traffic for an hour (as a passenger), so I am going to over-explain this. And I'm bored so I'm going to highlight it with pretty colors like I'm writing in my diary or something.

Satoru's senses basically span the ✨entire energy spectrum✨, because the Six Eyes gives him the ability to work with all types of energy. He can see the EM spectrum (infrared, visible light, and ultraviolet), he can see thermal energy, he can sense (not exactly see) some other types of energy (electrical, sound, chemical), and he can see cursed energy like we do as JJK readers (plus some extra details like the taste, color, and texture of cursed energy).

I'm about to be insufferably STEM, so more under the cut:

Electromagnetic (EM) Spectrum

The EM spectrum has infrared light at low frequencies/high wavelengths, the visible light spectrum, and then UV at high frequencies/low wavelengths. Satoru is kind of like a mantis shrimp in that he sees way more colors than a human. He's got more rods and cones and stuff. (I like physics and chemistry, don't press me on the biology).

I don't really go into the UV part that much, but I like to think that would contribute to his sunlight sensitivity! He's not an outside pet.

The blindfold blocks out the EM spectrum because the fabric blocks the transmission of visible light in the form of photons, packets of light energy. (this is a secret tool that will help us later)

Electrical Energy

I haven't really gone into electrical much either, but like he can see the flow of cursed energy, he'd be able to sense the flow of electrical energy, i.e. the movement of electrons. It gives him good circuit sense.

Sound Energy

Sound energy is vibrations* (another tool that will help us later). He doesn't really see them per se, because even the thought of him actually seeing the vibrations in the air is overwhelming, and it would block his vision so much that I don't think it makes sense for the Six Eyes

I think he would feel them with the Six Eyes kind of like a gentle breeze. It makes him ultra perceptive, but it's still another form of feedback for him to deal with.

This is why I make Satoru so terrible with enclosed spaces. If you can see those forms of energy, you're seeing not only the original instance where they're emitted, but also every secondary instance when things reflect or refract. So sound bouncing around in a train, for instance, is completely overwhelming to the Six Eyes if he's not able to use jujutsu to filter it, which I think is a skill he wouldn't master until maybe his mid 20s.

Thermal Energy

Now this is the fun one.

The Six Eyes gives Satoru the ability to see and sense the energy in things in its various forms, because he can convert it all to cursed energy, or back. So, when you think of thermal energy, you probably think of thermal cameras, which represent thermal energy in the color spectrum, which kind of looks like light.

But thermal energy is very much not light - it's actually motion. Specifically, it is atomic vibrations. The more energy something has, the more it vibrates, and that is actually the basis for what we call 'heat' or 'temperature'.

If you go deep into the philosophy of temperature, it's all a sham. It's the way we choose to interpret and understand a phenomenon we can't really see (atomic vibration) translated into something we can measure (but our scales are all relative and kind of fake. I'm looking at you, Rankine!). But that's a conversation for my very Serbian thermodynamics professor. Existential doubt really flows better in a Slavic accent.

Anyway, remember photons? Okay, so, heat and sound are not light, right, they are vibration. So instead of quantifying them as light packets, we quantify them as vibration packets, which are called phonons. I reference phonons a lot in the fic, but probably not in a way where I have appreciably explained anything about them well to non-STEM girlies.

If you think about photons/photon emission as throwing a ball of magical light at something, you can think of phonons as throwing a slinky at someone. (Which I wouldn't recommend, actually. Slinkies are remarkably difficult to throw.)

Cursed Energy

Okay this one is a gimme but obviously I have to list it. In the JJK animanga, we the reader see the cursed energy auras/flames around people, but it's understood that those are not actually seen in-universe, at least for non-Six Eyes. It's kind of dumb, but it also kind of makes sense pragmatically. If all sorcerers could see cursed energy, then it really ruins surprise elements, residual coverup, and general battle mechanics. Of course, some sorcerers are known to cover up their cursed energy, but if all of the powerful baddies did that then it wouldn't look as cool. It's whatever.

Also, the whole 'training to suppress your cursed energy release' is a hard sell if we also say that literally any sorcerer can see CE. So this is why Suguru isn't aware of when he's leaking CE. He can't see it, and then he also can't really taste/smell it because people go noseblind to their own scent.

In FIYM, Satoru is the only one that can see see it. The rest of them can still sense it, but they sense it by smell, taste, and most importantly, vibes.

Thesis: Why Energy is Gay

Okay so yes I did this to answer the question "what does Satoru see through the blindfold". But I also did this to make it gay gay homosexual. (In the grand tradition of JJK)

Touch Sensitivity

Because Satoru is sensitive to kinetic energy, living things are incredibly potent to him from a sensory perspective. People are made of energy - particularly thermal energy, chemical energy (although this is potential energy which we haven't touched on but I do reference it here and there), sound, and, of course, cursed energy.

When Satoru touches people, he feels all of the vibrational energy from those kinetic energy sources as well as the cursed energy, which to him has textures on top of the vibes, colors, and smell/taste. So of course it's overwhelming. Every touch is combined with vibration, which is very gay, and would take a long time to get used to, even if he never formed the habit of using Infinity to cut himself off from the world.

In FIYM, it's not only a fear/safety/vulnerability thing, it's also a necessary filtration step that he uses for the world. Part of this is because I kept him in Kyoto/the clan setting in his backstory for a long time, so he would have had less sound and population density to deal with. Tokyo would have been super overwhelming for him.

Information Filtering

Speaking of filtering, there are two ways for Satoru to cut down on the amount of information his senses are getting.

One is to block them, which is what he does with the blindfold (blocks photons) and Infinity (blocks phonons). Gay, tsundere, and hot.

The other is to flood or mask his senses, which is what happens when Suguru infuses the blindfold with cursed energy. It's not that Satoru can't see anything, it's that all he can see is the cursed energy, and it blocks out his ability to sense anything else because of how strong and close it is. This is meant to be a direct analog to the phenomenon of detector/sensor saturation, which is to say that a detector has hit its limit of how much it can read/measure/detect, and so everything else is lost.

When Suguru flares his cursed energy, he's doing a baby version of that. He's flooding Satoru's detector (The Six Eyes) with his cursed energy (which is easy on the eyes, for Satoru) and that inhibits his ability to sense the other pesky things. And it makes him feel better.

Physics is gay, physics can be so gay. Greg's biggest sin was not capitalizing on how gay the physics can be. Any day now we'll get an announcement for his next project, a gloomy isekai titled: Transported To a Dark Academia Yaoi Battle School And I Fall For My Physics Tutor?

Anyway, I hope you enjoyed the over-explanation, thank you for the ask, I love getting the chance to ramble about some of the science. :)

still missing the finals of a few scenes on here but she's coming along. an election night miracle.

I like to imagine that the reason Satoru’s clan raised ass is so good at laundry is just cause he spent like a week being reeeaaally into the housewife fantasy /hj

Fr though I love the interpretation of Satoru being a lot better at day to day life stuff cause it’s not one I see often. What made you go that route?

lmao, definitely more than a week maybe three-ish years

good question! i actually have a lot to say.

in the FIYM-verse, my headcanon for Satoru's upbringing is that, while he stayed in the Gojo clan system until he was able to escape to Jujutsu Tech, he bounced around a lot within the clan system after his mom died and his dad left the clan system. this is a pretty specific headcanon and it partially conflicts with the stuff gege said in the satoru 30questions interview, but it actually matches pretty nicely with his broader characterization.

in particular, i really latch onto his desire for normalcy. that's one of the major theses of FIYM, actually for both Satoru and Suguru, although it takes a different shape for both of them. Satoru is missing the normalcy of growing up outside the clan system, which Suguru had from his pre-jujutsu society years. Suguru is missing the internal normalcy of coming to terms with his powers, and it not being this curse in and of itself, which Satoru had from growing up in the clan system.

anyway, i think Satoru bounced around within the Gojo clan because after losing his primary parents, lots of subfactions would have wanted to take on the role of adoptive parents to build rapport and clout because he's got the mantle of the Six Eyes/Limitless. but because Satoru was a little shit and restless in the cage of the Gojo clan, no one would have been able to handle him for too long. that's part of why even in JJT, he struggles to put down roots in a living space, and his decor/personalization is pretty sparse.

when you move around a lot, one thing, maybe the only thing that stays the same is the way you take care of yourself. laundry, cooking, mending, etc. Satoru is naturally good at everything because of the Six Eyes (subconscious optimization of all physical motions/efficiency of tasks), but I actually think he'd be good at these specific housekeeping things more as a coping mechanism than anything.

lots of people cared about the well-being of the bearer of Six Eyes/Limitless. but not a lot of people genuinely cared about Satoru. I think that drove him to be hyper-independent in his own caretaking after his mom died. the idea of sharing these tasks, the domesticity, the one bit of normalcy he was able to carve out for himself in his chaotic upbringing - it's a lot. in FIYM he hasn't really unpacked that yet, but subconsciously, as you see in string theory, it's really all he's ever wanted.

[hollow-lime-green]

oh golly! there are a few fics that i hold close to my heart. i have written a lot for jjk, but i'm gonna plug all my fandoms.

string theory - if you read nothing else from my ongoing fire in your mouth series, read this. it's my favorite piece of the verse so far, and tbh i think i kinda snapped here besties. (although I do also recommend that you read the series, especially 2sorcs, which makes me laugh even while I write it) (17k, 3 chapters, T-E, JJK, SatoSugu)

A Real Breakthrough - my favorite smut that I've written, probably. my favorite dialogue/character writing that I've done, definitely. (4k, E, Arcane, JayVik)

Swan Song - Balthus/Yuri Fire Emblem Three Houses still own a large chunk of my heart, although i haven't written for them in a while. i can't recommend my indefinite-hiatus slowburn AU fic for them (oops), but i have some finished pieces I really love for them. this one is my favorite :) (9.4k, Angst and H/C, M, Balthuri)

The Morning Storm: A Bilgewater Serial - this is a super niche, super meta fanfic that stems from the fact that Legend of the Ruined King (LoL singleplayer spin off game) canonically has a character that writes gay fanfic of two other characters. i had a lot of fun with this, and it's probably what got me into writing comedy. (9.5k, Comedy/Satire, 24 chapters, T-E (parody), LoL, TF/Graves)

On the Traditions of the Dol-Intiqua - i love the game series Dreamfall/The Longest Journey, which makes me one of approximately 2 dozen people who know what it is. the worldbuilding is just so cool, and i hope this fic is half as atmospheric as the world deserves. (5.7k, Fluff/Pining, Dreamfall/TLJ, Likho/Kian)

i feel like by the time i see these, the people i follow that i know write have generally already been tagged, so y'know, just jump in if you're into that kind of thing!

Fic authors self rec! When you get this, reply with your favorite five fics that you've written, then pass on to at least five other writers. Let's spread the self-love 💞

The reason I asked how old you are is bc I myself am a fandom granny at 28 and got similar vibes from you 😭💖

I was like huh, 2010 references? Yeah the author most definitely ISN’T under 18, which tbh is refreshing bc I’m looking for weeb friends who are more or less as old as I am and it just feels like there’s nobody there 😭😭😭😭

Anyway speaking of 2010s references two weeks before I read your fic I was listening to Bad Romance and was reminded that it came out in 2009 and wanted to tell someone “ With how popular Bad Romance was at the time (and still is) I bet both Gojo and Geto listened to it at some point and did terrible karaoke renditions of it or sung it in the shower or whatever while thinking of each other lol” BUT I HAD NOBODY TO SAY THIS TO (so I’m telling you 💖)

omg yes! it is nice to find like-aged people in the fandom. I'd definitely put us at fandom middle aged though. we're the dinner party, take the kids to activities SAHMs of fandom. in FE3H, I met quite a few late 30s/maybe early 40s people and man, I can't wait to get there. truly the backbone of our communities - stable, disposable income; event planning sense; phenomenal writing because they have so much practice.

Oh goodness, 100% Gojo knows ALL the words to Bad Romance, Telephone, and Paparazzi, has seen the MVs multiple times, fundamentally changed by Lady Gaga for life (as were we all) 😍

hi hana!! i loved your explanation for satoru and his proficiency in the area of domestic pursuits and it got me thinking! is there any bit of characterization or easter egg stuff in fiym we’ve missed or you haven’t gotten the chance to talk about yet? love hearing your thoughts!!

aw shucks 💜💜💜

yay this is a fun question! there's one really really big one (kind of 2 in 1) that I can't say anything about yet, because it will get it's proper reveal. but to make you all suffer I'll give you a hint: barriers

someone has actually mentioned it - not guessed - but mentioned it in the comments. i don't think they realize how significant their observation was. so it'll be really fun when we get to that and all the pieces come together.

easter eggs!

- satoru runs cold because the six eyes make his internal temp regulation perfectly efficient, so he's not spending extra heat on homeostasis to go any above the necessary regular core body temp (not a biologist I actually didn't look this one up so if this is flawed then I will simply take that L - I assume people who run hot are in the wrong (biologically) and not people who run cold but that's just my bias as a cold handed motherfucker myself)

- suguru's tattoo is a koi fish not a betta fish because spoiler alert they're not going to kill each other (probably, anything could happen)

- haibara's moveset (not the technique) is largely inspire by miwa because they are both cinnamon rolls

- why is it always 'unseasonably cold'? two reasons: a.) I like the aesthetic of snow and cold but I recognize that that simply is not the Japanese climate in these months b.) a secret tool that will help us later (jujutsu)

my editing tabs right now

i've made a lot of editing progress lately! which is not what i need to be working on! but that's okay!

really hoping to get this chapter out soon, because there's really not a lot of wips I can share of it that don't spoil things, but there's a lot I'm looking forward to in this chapter.

it's probably the toughest one i've attempted from a writing perspective. it's certainly... experimental.

a wip and and a vent

the wip -

the mission continues, the stakes rise, the haibara chirps

the vent - research going bad. not awful, because the things that are going wrong are not my fault, but they are irritating anyway. I have been waiting for these test samples for a month, i finally get them, and..... they fucked up half of them. worse, what they did to fuck them up was actually additional effort on their part than not fucking them up.

things are okay and i understand how it happened (but good god it is stupid), and i'm still on track with things even with another setback. but i would like for things to be easier.

[hollow-lime-green]

call me suguru the way i also don’t know why satoru started crying when he did laundry (this is me exposing myself as unable to grasp Subtext and begging u to pls spell it out for my pea brain) hope your shoulder is doing better today!! sending u good vibes 😎

hahahahahahahaha we can all be suguru together

what he is crying about is the overwhelming intensity of his subconscious and not-yet-unpacked desire to live a mundane, domestic life with the only person who has ever seen and treated him as a human being first and a sorcerer second.

why he is crying, though...

so actually this is something that i might not cover very explicitly in the main fic, so i may as well talk about it a little bit here. in ch 13, Satoru is acting pretty emotional. actually, overly emotional. so Suguru is confused, and as the audience you also might be a little confused too. because even with the context that Satoru is an overdramatic bundle of gay anxiety, he's still not acting like himself.

and that is actually a side effect of what he did in ch 12 by absorbing Suguru's cursed energy. he is on his jujutsu period. as we have now established, when Suguru absorbs a cursed spirit, he is consuming that spirit's CE and then actually increasing the total CE through essentially an exothermic reaction fueled by his own self-loathing. CE is just negativity, and Suguru is really good at negativity.

Suguru eventually recovers from his technique as the extra CE partially dissipates and partially stabilizes inside of him. but in ch 12, Satoru actually absorbed his excess CE, which is why a.) Suguru feels great (-negativity) b.) Suguru feels overly comfortable/familiar with Satoru on a physical level (Satoru essentially has Suguru's magic pheromones on him), and c.) Satoru is emotionally a wreck (+negativity)

Satoru will burn it off a lot faster than Suguru does because of the Six Eyes, and he could intentionally speed it up even more, but he can't because he hasn't realized that's what's going on. So instead he snaps at Shoko and he cries out of nowhere and it's all just A Lot Right Now for him.

It's funny because even though the narrative will punish him for it, Satoru's idea of how to fix Suguru's side effects is actually a good, smart, valid solution in the FIYM universe. mechanically, anyway.

[hollow-lime-green]

ok this looked fun! thank you for the tag @marichild and sorry it took me so long to get to it lol. there's a lot i'm keeping secret, but these are from 3 diff pieces in my WIPs so i feel like if i overwhelm you with chaos then it won't be too much of a spoiler :)

The word is CURE so:

C: Cause, see, it’s hard to find porn that looks like them. Because there’s not a lot of gay Asian guys bold enough to post videos, and the ones who do aren’t tall or platinum blonde. But it’s okay, because Satoru doesn’t really need to see himself in the porn - that’s not really who he’s looking at - it’s hard to find porn of guys that look like Suguru, even though he’s, like, the hottest goddamn being in existence of any race or gender or species, probably.

U: Uraume’s frost-tipped fingers tightened around the overlarge mug. The strangely blocky modern lettering spelled out ‘All You Need is Mom’. “Dude, you have got to get laid.”

R: (ok I cheated here, I seriously didn't have ANY Rs) “You can’t reincarnate as a rock, they’re not alive,” Satoru um-actuallys. And Suguru rolls his eyes. And Suguru laughs. And Suguru smiles. And Satoru feels like he’s choking on a flurry of snowflakes. “I bet you were a blobfish,” he adds, his frozen tongue rattling in his mouth like ice in a glass.

E: “Egg waffles?” Suguru suggests, “There’s a theater right by that cafe you like. The 24-hour one? How about we go there? Play it by ear.”

this was fun! and i needed to share something before i literally exploded. that would be messy. tagging @detta-pica with the word QUETZALCOATLUS...

kidding, although that would be legitimately impressive. Zs feel hard. :)

How about LIGHT? I'm in a New Years mood. :)
