#Curse user Nanami

[jamescomjj]

Wait you can make Nanami a curse user since he was planned to be one originally until Gege got too attached to him! (Or a curse for hating work, you’re the boss!)

OMG I LOVE THIS IDEA THANK U 🙏

Curse user Nanami my beloved (Poor Haruta though, or lucky him-- both)

[obsessive-clown]

Your content is so nice. To a fellow yandere Nanami enjoyed I am curious about your two cents on this. What would be the difference personality wise between a Yandere Nanami and a Yandere curse user Nanami 🤔

Oh!! This is an interesting one…

As someone who hasn’t dabbled too much into Curse User Nanami media (but would love to), I think I have a few ideas…

꧁ꕥꕥꕥꕥꕥꕥꕥꕥꕥꕥꕥꕥꕥꕥꕥꕥꕥꕥꕥꕥꕥ꧂

First of all:

Curse User Kento is far more sadistic. This is just a given, I mean look at the man. Slaughtering his entire work place? Not giving a shit about other people or anything around him? There is no doubt in my mind that man has a hit list of sorts, and every single name on that list is full of people who have wronged you, hurt you, dated you, slept with you. All of it.

Not to mention, I think Curse User Kento would be a bit sloppier with his work, unlike his Sorcerer counterpart. Whether this be on purpose or just because he has a lack of care. Sometimes he wants you to find someone from your past, that you’ve nearly forgotten about, on the news and taken out brutally. He struggles to show love and interest, at least in normal ways, anyways.

Following Up:

While CU!Kento has a lack of care, empathy and compassion for others, something about you makes his long dead, cold and miserable heart beat and feel something new.

Regular, Sorcerer Kento is just kept to himself. He doesn’t particularly like showing too much emotion. He doesn’t like people seeing his soft side and using that to their advantage. But with you, he lets you in on every bit of it. There’s just something about you that the Sorcerer loves and can’t get enough of. Unlike his Curse User counterpart, he has morals, he approaches you in a calm, normal, civilized manner.

Both of the Kento’s are incredibly problematic in their own sense though.

CU!Kento will convince you to push those around you, away. Gaslighting? He’ll do it, if it means getting to be with you. No other man— person in general— is good enough for you. Only he is. Everyone else is garbage compared to you. He struggles with being overly controlling in my mind. He would love to work on this for you, since he doesn’t particularly like seeing you upset, but he can’t help it. Old habits die hard and he just needs to know he’s your only option and that you’re his.

Sorcerer!Kento will be overly possessive of you. You want to go out? Let him come with you. He hates the thought of another person getting the idea to try and take what’s his. You’re his prized jewel, so naturally, he hovers a lot. Gatekeeping you? Absolutely. You’re his everything, his reason to keep going. He may hide all of this well and be extremely subtle and soft with how he shows it, but it’s a force of habit.

꧁ꕥꕥꕥꕥꕥꕥꕥꕥꕥꕥꕥꕥꕥꕥꕥꕥꕥꕥꕥꕥꕥ꧂

These are just a few things I could think of… I’m sure more will conjure and I’ll have to post about them… I apologize for posting this so late though! And I hope you enjoyed, loves. 🫀

Curse user Nanami au doodle

[jikangairodo]

canon Nanami is incapable of creating a Domain expansion, but curse user Nanami is a different story.

[demonzoro]

sorcerer / curse user

[ID: Two headshots of Nanami. He has blond side-swept coiffed hair, pale skin, and is looking forwards with a neutral expression of disdain. In the first headshot, he's wearing a blue suit jacket, yellow tie, and tinted clip-on goggles. Imposed over his left eye is a white ruler with the notch at 7:3 ratio creating a four-pointed star over his pupil. In the second headshot, the suit jacket and tie are desaturated monotones, and Nanami is sans goggles. The darkened shadows under his eyes are visible, as well as his hazel irises, and there is a violent blood splatter streaked across the left side of his face and over his nose bridge. END ID.]

[mandsleanan]

I think Nanami's intro is my favorite of all the characters in JJK.

Gojo introduces him as a dropout salary worker, which is completely believable.

He looks like he wouldn't say Shit if he stepped in it....and then not only does he say it thrice in the following conversation, his next move is to start trash-talking the guy who invited him.

What an absolute goddamn legend.

[satorusugurugurl]

I feel like absolute garbage 🙂‍↕️ despite that still writing my smut and I'm about to go suffer at work for eight hours wish my and my throat luck!

Oh, and y’all are gonna cream yourselves with this escort!reader fic I'm about to drop tonight 🥵

Side note: my hubby sent me to run some errands—i left for medication and came back with all the JJK manga so it's on sight I need to know who the lawyer man is!!!

[goatyuuji]

Gojo and his tendency to collect boyfriends that can kill you in a millisecond...like gojo already a hydrogen bomb and all his partners are hydrogen bomb too.

CURSE USER!NANAMI IN THE CULLING GAMES???

[jamescomjj]

HARUTA SWEET BABY NOOOOOOO

Okay so we have a curse user Nanami now... (who looks gorgeous by the way) how about a... vengeful spirit!Haibara? (So it's a Yuta and Rika situation)

YESSS, I love this concept SM

Thought of making Haibara a bird because it's so hard visualizing him as scary curse

[tsukimefuku]

The WIP I had abandoned came back screeching like a wild animal, demanding to be written. And I’m fucked :)

[satellitesunset]

while it wouldn't have fixed the systemic issues, the jujutsu sorcerers forming a union would have solved at least 40% of their problems.

[cderiva]

the original version of kento who snapped because his boss wanted him to work overtime? he truly has always been the realest im afraid.

[demonzoro]

absolutely make no mistake i still think that in an au where nanami is a curse user, he would still oppose geto's ideology. not because of any moral ground he has over him but because geto's dehumanisation of non-sorcerers assigns evil to humans as part of their nature rather than active decisions and power struggles that nanami had become intimately familiar with. probably something they'd endless argue over between geto's recruitment attempts and nanami's reluctant reliance on geto's network/foothold

[rmorde]

It's fucking wild to see someone defend Mei Mei and demand people to blame Gege instead for her pedophilia and grooming.

WTF?

If you love a dark character, then accept everything that they are in the story. Mei Mei is one. She is a side character that is dark despite being on the heroes' side of the fight.

I appreciate what Gege had done to her character. I like it because thru her we see how rotten the modern jujutsu society is - that the heroes' side is not exactly great especially with the likes of Gojo and Nanami being gone.

A lot of people already pointed out that Mei is used as a foil for Nanami. I agree. She is everything he is not: - Nanami left stock trading. Mei is doing insider trading. - Nanami fights for the greater good. Mei is only in it for the paycheck. - Nanami protects children. Mei exploits children. - Nanami continues to fight even if he is half-dead. Mei retreats even if she is still perfectly fine. - Nanami has morals. Mei is immoral.

But why did someone good (Nanami) die a horrible death while someone bad (Mei Mei) got rewarded (practically highlighted with her escaping to Malaysia -which was Nanami's dream retirement place)? It's to highlight how broken and bleak jujutsu society is - bad people benefit but good people suffer. It also shows how the only difference between the sorcerers (sans our "heroes") and the curse users are just rule compliance and pay checks.

Speaking of which:

What Mei Mei is doing to Ui Ui is exactly like what that Granny Seance did to her Tojified Grandson. Both women are grooming boys younger than they into perfect tools to complement their CTs. They don't see them as brother or grandson respectively. Those words are mere "titles". It's like how you would call an giant axe "Axe" and straw dolls "Dolls."

Mei is the perfect example of what a peak sorcerer is in modern jujutsu society - strong and smart but selfish, self-absorbed, exploitative, and immoral.

I like Mei for what she delivers in the story: 1) A very dark character that represents the rotten core of the jujutsu society. 2) A complex female character - she is on your side but she is definitely not an ally you'd want. However, you need all the help you can get so you are forced to accept her but deep down you want her to get some comeuppance for all she's been doing. 3) Despite her... Mei-ness, she still has a really cool character design and powers as well as really badass scenes. 4) An excellent foil to Nanami (and maybe even Gojo if I stretch it a bit). 5) A great reminder that with the exception of the sorcerers within Gojo's close circle (Tokyo Tech staff/alumni + Utahime & her students), sorcerers are absolute scumbags. Mei's principle is pretty similar to Sukuna's! They're all about: Me, Myself, and I living it up and having fun at everyone's expense.

6) She is the closest I could get to a "villainess" in JJK. The villains in JJK is male-dominated with 2 gender-neutrals (Hanami + Uraume). Geto's family has very little screen time for me to get something out of them (Lady Secretary, Nanako & Mimiko). Yeah it's shonen but still... Gege is starving me with good villainesses 😭.

So TLDR: Mei Mei is not defensible but feel free to like/love her anyway. Being a fan of villains or dark characters is not a representation of a person's morals after all. Do not blame Gege for using her as a narrative tool to remind people again ( because we have to admit that we always kinda forget): the world of JJK is unfair and it really fucking sucks being a nice person there. Not that Gege is a perfect writer at all. There are plenty of other stuff to be angry about in his work like the pacing for example or the underutilization of interesting side characters or the story being so "scattered" into various mediums.

it had been a happenstance of fate that their paths had crossed, truly. suguru isn't especially in the habit of seeking out anyone even tangentially related to tokyo jujutsu high nor its sister school nor its admin nor anyone at all who would even slightly wish to carry out his DEATH SENTENCE ( satoru notwithstanding, but that's simply an entirely different matter altogether / and he supposes that shoko is an exception to the rule / and oh, dear, if he keeps adding exceptions then what's the point, really? ) but, well.

nanami.

sitting across from each other in a café is entirely suguru's doing, regardless of anything / nanami looked at once COMPLETELY DIFFERENT and ENTIRELY THE SAME : he'd always looked tired and over it throughout school, almost lackadaisical in how he carried himself throughout his day to day life, haibara ( the thought still smarts against his heart, scraping against the inside of his skull, how hopeless and defeated nanami had looked, how small haibara's corpse had seen, and suguru had thought hopelessly of haibara's sister, whom he'd always said he didn't want following in his footsteps for all that he carried on ENTHUSIASTICALLY ) constantly in range exacerbating the matter, grinning and energetic and effusive. nanami appears older, more tired, worn by the world / separated from the jujutsu world in general, it seems, and the thought is almost melancholic.

❝ —— a salaryman? ❞ suguru says, stirring his still black tea idly in the cup he'd been handed / skin crawling from proximity to vermin and monkeys but it can't be helped. he's in the area for one meeting or another, but sitting down with his old kouhai takes precedence, and THEY WILL WAIT FOR HIM, naturally. ❝ i hope they aren't working you into the ground, nanami-kun, ❞ it's a familiar honorific, though doesn't quite seem fitting for nanami as he sits before him today, ❝ honestly, your abilities would be better used in other pursuits. ❞

a tilt to his head, a shift to his eyes. nanami had always been so preceptive, hadn't he? ❝ —— can you say that again? ❞ @spirestar says, sounding almost suspicious, perhaps? suguru isn't quite as adept at reading him as he is with most others.

always so passive seeming, nanami. stiff backed. it could fool almost anyone, really. suguru laughs, not meanly, not attempting at cruelty, truly expressing amusement : his head tilting and hair falling as he takes the little spoon out of the cup / taps it against the rim precisely four times / sets it upon the saucer oh so delicately as he picks up the cup primly. ❝ don't worry, nanami-kun, ❞ he says, smiling over the cup at him, ❝ i am only looking for the most devout for my following, ❞ a humorous turn of phrase, perhaps —— CULT LEADER, et cetera. ❝ had you been interested, you would have found me, by now. but you're just ( ... ) DISILLUSIONED, aren't you? ❞
