Godā€¦ I know heā€™s like the most basic option to pick from the movie, but I just wanna shake TFOne Orion/Optimus around in my teeth like a dog toy.
I want to see that twunk CRY and REGRETFUL and SAD, with sparkling big tears coming from his big blue eyes. I want him to feel SO MUCH GUILT for what happened, itā€™s EATING HIM ALIVE.
ā€¦and he gets hugs from Bee, and Elita One giving him a shoulder to cry on, and he feels a bit better. Itā€™s not gone, but he can manage it - even if itā€™s just for them.
And yetā€¦ part of him canā€™t be completely happy. Heā€™ll always be carrying around that regret and sadness, because he lost the person who was most important to him. And he couldnā€™t stop it.
This is me while writing this btw:

if i did a reread of the walking dead and wrote an essay on how aegon ii and carl are doomed to be the last man standing by their narratives, and what starts out as a sort of cool & nifty super power of always surviving turns into this horrific curse where everyone they know is dying around them & sometimes itā€™s their fault & sometimes itā€™s not but either way they canā€™t ever stop it until theyā€™re sitting at the ending with nothing but their lone daughter to protect but so broken they can no longer connect to her and then their story abruptly ends-
would that be like the Most stupid, nerdy thing i have ever done in my life or
#valyrianscrolls#aegon the usurper#carl grimes#i associate the phrase ā€˜last man standingā€™ so heavily with carl that i used it to describe aegon and my brain short circuited#alsoā€¦something something ā€˜if we forgive our fathers what else is leftā€™ and ā€˜you can never escape your mothers bloodā€™#re: carlā€™s life going so badly bc of his fatherā€™s vicious & world destroying love. and viserys destroying aegonā€™s life bc of his own lack of#love for aegon. completely accident. neither viserys or rick set out to create a worse world and yet.#and lori and alicent standing like ghosts over their babies. what do you do when your motherā€™s misery in her marriage is the reason your#life went off the rails. how do you hate her for it yet how do you love her.#rick ultimately dying at the hands of one of his victims. viserys rotting to deal surrounding by the children he emotionally abandoned.#THERES SOMETHING HERE#ROBERT KIRKMAN I KNOW YOU WERE AT CONS WITH GEORGE DID U EVER HANG OUT A BIT. YOU BOTH LOVE DOOMED BY THE NARRATIVE STORIES#AND HATE HOW PUSHY YOUR FANBASE IS AJSJDJ#getting on my soap box#this is comics carl obviously show carl is also my child and last man standing itā€™s just that they didnā€™t want to pay chandler riggs money#and killed him off. in my mind show carl outlives rick & michonne & judith & rj. just carl & maggie on opposite sides of the coast#alone with their grief and refusing to speak bc they no longer have the words.#carlā€™s daughter asks why her name is mj and carlā€™s grief chokes the words

i just gotta say peoples' obsessions with writing toxic relationships just concerns the shit outta me on this hellsite.
#ooc. your local bodega kat.#[everyone: i love complex relationships! what everyone means: couples fighting is normal! so if they're horrendous to each other#sometimes it's normal!!#couples fight like... of course. it's unhealthy NOT to fight. but there's a level where it's....uhhhHHHHHHHHHHHHH and some of what's said#or done that people condone on here is wild. if i had a nickel for every time i saw someone say their character was a wonderful spouse and#then display like 10 reasons why they're covertly emotionally or verbally abusive. the rpc has such a tendency to refer to dv in one#specific term when it comes to ic ships and it's always physical but everything else is 'complex' and man that's worrying. see also: why#i was taught in grad school never to teach streetcar with marlon brando because students excuse him immediately due to his looks and his#bullshit angst. it's alarming as fuck. coming from parents who were sometimes physically abusive (to me and each other) like... this also#needs to be recognized in self-critical media. there's so much shit that needs evaluating. and it's not like i've never written a toxic#ship. i wrote the fucking WORST on at one point because i was too chickenshit to get alana out of it. and it ended in her being DESTROYED.#you know. like those kind of relationships tend to end in. like. my ex-father beat the fuck out of a dude in a bar who hit on my mom and#then when he found out the guy died a day later it was military or jail and he went military. and then my mom took him BACK. this is REAL#LIFE SHIT. writing it is virtually incredibly depressing and writing it without making clear it's fucked up is worse. whether you've been#through it or not. in that case: why even. shit hurts enough when you go through it. why would you want to vicariously go through it#being a fake person if there was no way to turn the outcome through healing and positive growth. sorry for being an optimist basically.]#domestic violence mention /#domestic abuse mention /#abuse mention /#murder mention /#[i'm just thinking back on the most toxic fucking verse i ever had and how glad i am said person and i no longer speak.]

I gotta be honest, Iā€™m not interested in Baldurā€™s Gate. While I know that Iā€™m being a petty little butthead, having everyone who knows I play DND (under duress, mostly) and Dragon Age recommend it makes me not want to engage with it out of spite. A couple of friends have assumed I am playing it for sursies and that has really steamed my beans.
Iā€™d probably enjoy it! (Except for the puzzles. I donā€™t want puzzles) Iā€™m just irrationally irritated because the only new gaming experience I want is wiping my memory to play Origins again.
I am hissing and spitting like a small feral kitten.

Sister's New Boyfriend
ā€œCā€™mon bro, didnā€™t you miss this?ā€ Scott teased, his giant Size 13 foot plopped onto the coffee table in front of me.
Tumblr media
ā€œCut it out, Scott,ā€ I hissed, knowing my sister was bound to call us into the kitchen any minute now.
ā€œWhy should I?ā€ Scott cockily grinned. ā€œWe both know you want to.ā€
I held back the scarlet that threatened to color my face. ā€œThatā€™s not true.ā€
ā€œItā€™s only been what, seven or eight years since high school?ā€ Scottā€™s grin shifted into an exaggerated frown. ā€œSurely you haven't forgotten me, have you? And all the fun times we had together?ā€
Unfortunately I had not forgotten Scott, or the ā€œfun timesā€ he was referring to. The constant bullying; harassment and name-calling and even a few bouts of abuse. It was painful for me to reflect on, both of us being the same age and yet being emotionally attacked by a man double my size. Since those years, the gym and my therapist had helped me move past those vulnerable times. Even though I had struggled to find a relationship, I was stronger now; a fighter well-off with a supportive network.Ā 
ā€œLuckily for you, Iā€™ve moved on,ā€ I snarked, sizing Scott up.
ā€œI donā€™t think you have,ā€ Scottā€™s smirk returned. ā€œOtherwise you wouldā€™ve left as soon as you saw me.ā€
I had not expected Scott to be my sisterā€™s new boyfriend. The man she had been gloating about for months, this ā€œkind, sensible, loyalā€ being that had corrupted her life to the point that he was all she would talk about. I would have never assumed my sisterā€“my older, highly educated sisterā€“to end up with the malevolent jock who had destroyed my ego all those years ago. And after brief introductions, in which I realized I was still physically smaller than my former tormentor, I quickly sensed the looming danger of the situation.
ā€œIā€™m not going to abandon my sister,ā€ I retorted.
ā€œYouā€™re not going to abandon your commands, either,ā€ Scott shot back, a bit to my confusion. Scott had apparently dropped out of college, but had become a fitness influencer in the years since, pulling in huge financial figures. It was difficult not to reflect on the fact that even though I had a degree, Scott had still come out on top. ā€œStop lying to yourself, buddy.ā€
Instead of another backhanded defense, I felt myself a slow warmth settling in his bones. My frustration subsided as a peaceful, almost artificial calm crawled over. My usual worries were smoothing over, something that Scott recognized immediately.
ā€œYeah, thatā€™s it, buddy.ā€ Again, the word sent a pleasurable warmth all across my frame, tingling my toes and twitching the corners of my mouth into the beginnings of a dopey smile. ā€œI see a few years apart hasnā€™t weakened my conditioning on you at all, has it?ā€
I knew better than to answer. In therapy, I thought I had discussed all my qualms with Scott. Every single memory I could recover was heavily investigated, scrutinized, and then analyzed to create a plan for my future proceedings. But it was not until that very moment, in my sisterā€™s living room reunited with my high school bully, that I realized I had only covered half of the relationship Scott had created for us. The memories my therapist and I had discussed, those were only the ones Scott had allowed me to remember.
ā€œNo Sir,ā€ I replied, the title suddenly feeling appropriate. ā€œNot at all. I still jack off to the thought of your magnificence at least twice a week as you instructed, Sir.ā€
My pupils inflated as Scottā€™s smirk grew sinister; this truth being revealed to both of us.Ā 
ā€œWhat, you didnā€™t think I just let you go after graduation, did you?ā€ Scottā€™s words cut right to the bone, my embarrassment finally flushing my face. ā€œI guess my hypnosis was better than I thought it was back then. I like to keep all my boys on a leash, in case they ever become useful to me again.ā€
Before I could respond, Scott snapped his finger and pointed back at his foot. Immediately, I was kneeling before him, my nose inhaling his godly scent and my tongue running across the holy valleys of his sole. Every breath sent another wave of affection across me, the submissive alter ego Scott had created for me back in high school overriding all the defenses I had built up since then.
ā€œWhoā€™d have thought one of them would eventually become my brother-in-law?ā€ Scott commented. Even as my former life and independence was quickly evaporating, his smug victory brought a single tear to my eye.Ā 
ā€œI thought I was going to break the news!ā€ My sister yelled from the kitchen, finally entering the conversation but apparently oblivious to what was actually happening. ā€œDinner will be set in a minute!ā€
ā€œThanks babe,ā€ Scott called back, before searing his eyes straight through me. ā€œHope youā€™re ready to be an uncle too, buddy.ā€
That revelation snapped what was left of my free will. But now, I had more important things to worry about, like tending to Scottā€™s feet.

Hi there! May I request an Adrian x reader where he's in need of comfort, so he asks (maybe shyly) if he can sit in her lap, even though she's smaller? She holds him gently, soothing him in any way she can?
Thank you for your consideration ā¤ļø
A/N: YESSSS MY BABY BOY NEEDS COMFORT SO BADLY AND THIS IS SUCH A CUTE PROMPT<3
Tumblr media
You and Adrian had been spending days on end cleaning up the castle, disposing of bodies after the battle and mopping up the blood, mending torn drapery and broken artifacts. The work was tiring, both physically and emotionally for Adrian. Having to go through his destroyed childhood home where he had killed his own father hurt him like nothing before, feeling the melancholic feeling of nostalgia waving over him as he wandered the halls of his childhood home, avoiding his old bedroom like the plague. You didnā€™t clean that room up yet, not wanting to overstep any boundaries before Adrian was ready. He was very quiet and solemn, as expected from someone going through his situation, but you made sure he wasnā€™t alone for it. You made sure he ate, would hold him as the both of you slept, would offer him a shoulder to cry on when he needed it.
On a day like the past few weeks, you were at the table sorting through dried herbs in the kitchen while Adrian was working elsewhere in the castle. It was so empty and silent and dreary in the castle, even being alone for a little bit made you feel uneasy, knowing it once housed a loving family. In the dreaded silence, you heard Adrianā€™s shows against the floor from the doorway behind you, and saw his shadow loom from the torches in the hallway.
ā€œWhatā€™s on your mind, my love?ā€ You asked without turning around, hearing his footstep get closer to you before a pair of thin, pale arms wrapped around your shoulders and a chin rested on your head.
ā€œIā€™m not sure. My mind is just wandering right now.ā€ He replied with little emotion, compelling you to set down everything you were sorting and turn to face him. His beautiful face was solemn and stern, his eyes puffy as if he had been crying, and his sweet lips in a tight frown. He looked as if he were about to cry right there in front of you, his eyes not meeting yours and looking down, as if he were ashamed to cry in front of you.
ā€œMy love?ā€ You repeated, a hand moving to hold one of his, causing him to snap out of his thoughts and finally look you in the eyes with his own teary ones.
ā€œMay Iā€¦may I sit in your lap?ā€ He asked with a trembling voice and a blush across his face. You told him ā€˜of courseā€™ and moved so he could, wrapping your arms around his waist as he kept his around your shoulders. He took a deep breath of relief before letting out a shaky breath, slowly dissolving into tears as he buried his face in the crook of your neck. You immediately held him tighter, moving one of your hands to rub his back as you buried your own face in his hair. You felt his body tremble against your own, his tears already soaking your blouse as he held onto you tightly, as if youā€™d disappear into thin air at any moment.
ā€œShhhhh, I know, darling.ā€ You cooed, kissing his clothes shoulder as you yourself began to tear up. It hurt so much seeing the man you loved be so distraught and lost, stuck in a mourning phase he couldnā€™t escape. The two of you sat like that for what felt like forever until his sobs melted into sniffles, finally out of tears to cry.
ā€œAdrian?ā€
ā€œY-Yes?ā€
ā€œI love you. So much. You know that, right?ā€
ā€œO-Of course.ā€ He pulled away from the crook of your neck and you wiped any tears left away from his pretty face, holding it in your hands as he leaned into your touch. ā€œI love you, too, Y/N.ā€
ā€œHow about we go to bed early tonight? I just want to hold you.ā€
ā€œI would like that very much.ā€

Debunking myths in the GFFA: Luke Skywalker isn't the One True Jediā„¢ and doesn't "reject the Jedi teachings."
Tumblr media
The myth:
Luke's Jedi mentors - trained to be dispassionate and mission-driven - callously tell him to let his friends die in service of a greater cause.
"In The Empire Strikes Back, Luke becomes Yoda's Padawan, and there are echoes of Anakin's training and the dilemmas he faced. Like Anakin, Luke is told he is too old to begin the training. Like Anakin, he has a vision of his loved ones suffering in captivity, and receives cold advice from Yoda, who tells him to sacrifice Han and Leia if he honors what they fight for." - Jason Fry, ā€œFamily Tradition; Rejecting the Jedi Teachingsā€ Star Wars Insider #130, 2012
Tumblr media
The intended narrative:
The Jedi are actually right on all points. Luke isn't ready or fully trained and he's arrogantly letting his emotions rule him and rushing into danger. By ignoring them, Luke gets himself into a spot of trouble that actually jeopardizes the lives of the very friends he tried to help, as they now need to rescue him.
ā€œItā€™s pivotal that Luke doesnā€™t have patience. He doesnā€™t want to finish his training. Heā€™s being succumbed by his emotional feelings for his friends rather than the practical feelings of ā€œIā€™ve got to get this job done before I can actually save them. I canā€™t save them, really.ā€ But he sort of takes the easy route, the arrogant route, the emotional but least practical route, which is to say, ā€œIā€™m just going to go off and do this without thinking too much.ā€ And the result is that he fails and doesnā€™t do well for Han Solo or himself.ā€
Tumblr media
ā€œLuke is making a critical mistake in his life of going after- to try to save his friends when heā€™s not ready. Thereā€™s a lot being taught here about patience and about waiting for the right moment to do whatever youā€™re going to do.ā€
Tumblr media
ā€œLuke is in the process of going into an extremely dangerous situation out of his compassionā€” Without the proper training, without the proper thought, without the proper foresight to figure out how heā€™s gonna get out of it. His impulses are right, but his methodology is wrong.ā€
Tumblr media
The myth:
The Jedi want Luke to repress his feelings and kill his father, to destroy the Sith, their religious enemies. As emotionally-detached Jedi, it is inconceivable that a Sith would come back from the Dark Side, and thus wrongly believe that the only solution is to kill Vader.
"It's easy to miss that Luke disagrees sharply with his Jedi teachers about what to do. Obi-Wan and Yoda have trained Luke and push him toward a second confrontation with Vader. He is, they believe, the Jedi weapon that will destroy both Vader and the Emperor. When Luke insists there is still good in Vader, Obi-Wan retorts that "he's more machine than man-twisted and evil." When Luke says he can't kill his own father, Obi-Wan despairs, "Then the Emperor has already won."Ā  But Obi-Wan could not be more wrong. It is precisely because Luke can't kill his own father that he defeats the Sith." - Jason Fry, Star Wars Insider #130, 2012
Tumblr media
The intended narrative:
The Jedi never tell Luke to "kill" his father. That's just a fact.
They tell him to "confront" and "face" him.
Tumblr media
Their bottom line is that Vader and the Emperor need to be stopped.
If Luke can manage to do so without killing his father, that's great.
"In Jedi the film is really about the redemption of this fallen angel. Ben is the fitting good angel, and Vader is the bad angel who started off good. All these years Ben has been waiting for Luke to come of age so that he can become a Jedi and redeem his father. That's what Ben has been doing, but you don't know this in the first film." - Star Wars: The Annotated Screenplays, 1998
(credit to @writerbuddha for finding the above quote)
The problem is: Darth Vader has a track record of murdering loved ones who refuse to kill him. Be it his wife...
Tumblr media
... his father/brother...
Tumblr media
... and if you're going by Canon, his little sister.
Tumblr media
As such, there's a very strong chance that Vader might do the same to his son as well.
ā€œA Jedi canā€™t kill for the sake of killing. The mission isnā€™t for Luke to go out and kill his father and get rid of him. The issue is, if he confronts his father again, he may, in defending himself, have to kill him, because his father will try to kill him.ā€ - 1981 story conference, fromĀ The Making of Return of the Jedi
Now, as the last Jedi left, the fate of the galaxy rests entirely on Luke's shoulders.
If he dies, then the galaxy and its billions of inhabitants are doomed to live in a tyrannical dictatorship forever.
ā€œHe knows a confrontation is brewing between Luke and his father. Ben hopes Luke will either save his father or kill him, because whatever extra powers Luke's got in his lineage, he is the one person that can probably fight his father and win.ā€ -Ā The Star Wars Archives: 1977-1983, 2018
There's a time for talking things through... and a time to do your duty. Above all else, a Jedi's duty is to end conflict.
Obi-Wan was once tasked with this same duty.
And while he managed to weaken Vader considerably (thus avoiding the catastrophe of a full-powered Vader being unleashed onto the galaxy)... because of his attachment, he failed to kill Vader.
Tumblr media
Twice, if you include the Kenobi show.
Tumblr media
(A show which, per Pablo Hidalgo, is one of GeorgeĀ Lucas' favorite recent Star Wars projects, a tidbit that doesn't surprise me one bit considering how much the series perfectly aligns with what Lucas said about Star Wars (see here, here and here))
Point being: because Ben failed his duty, the galaxy suffered for it.
Luke is now in danger of doing the same.
If he's unable to end the conflict in a peaceful way, then Luke needs to be ready to do so in a more permanent manner. Because while Luke has qualms about killing his father, there's a very big chance that the feeling won't be mutual.
So Luke isn't rejecting his teachers' orders to kill Vader. He's saying he's unable to confront Vader altogether, because he'll be half-assing the task. In the (very likely) worst case scenario where reasoning with Vader fails, Luke is concerned he won't be able to follow-through and do what he must.
Further, there's also a worse outcome to Luke dying: Luke joining the Dark Side and becoming yet another asset of the Emperor, more dangerous than Vader himself.
Tumblr media
It's thus essential that Luke steel himself and mask his emotions, because the Emperor is a master manipulator who'll likely attempt to corrupt Luke via the strong emotions he has for his friends.
Obi-Wan is not telling Luke to repress his emotions. On the contrary, he acknowledges that these feelings do Luke credit. But the fact remains that when your opponent can jiu-jitsu those feelings against you and your friends, you need to keep a poker face.
And judging by how close the Sith Lords come to seducing Luke to the Dark Side...
Tumblr media
... that advice is completely on point.
Tumblr media
The myth:
"It isn't Jedi teachings that save the galaxy, but bonds the Jedi tried to forbid - such as the love of a father for his son, and a son for his father.Ā Emotional attachments, in other words." - Jason Fry, Star Wars Insider #130, 2012
Tumblr media
The intended narrative:
In Return of the Jedi, Luke isn't doing anything different than what other Jedi have done.
He does his best to avoid lethal force unless he deems that it is necessary (see his fight against Jabba's hostile forces).
He sacrifices himself for the greater good and let himself be captured, in order to allow the mission to be carried out.
He tries to reason with his enemy, hoping to avoid conflict.
He spares his enemy, showing mercy.
That's all standard Jedi stuff. We've seen other Jedi do all those things, both in the films and The Clone Wars.
If that isn't enough, just look at how Lucas describes what Jedi normally do (left), versus what Luke does in Return of the Jedi (right):

See what I mean? Thereā€™s pretty much no difference.
In Lucas' narrative, Luke isnā€™t ā€œbetter thanā€ or ā€œrejecting the teachingsā€ of the Jedi who came before him. Heā€™s following the Jedi path. And he's really good at doing so.
Because this idea that Luke "rejects the teachings" makes no sense! They're Lucas' teachings. He agrees with the Jedi, they're the mouthpieces he uses to deliver the audience his own values.
Lucas having his main character do something he'd ideologically disagree with is something that doesn't make sense.
And part of this confusion comes from a misunderstanding of the word "attachment", in Star Wars.
It doesn't mean "emotional attachments" or "feelings" or "affection." It comes from the Buddhist principle of non-attachment.
It's not about depriving yourself of relationships or affection, it's about accepting that everything comes and goes and letting go of those very things you hold on to, when the time comes.
Lucas makes a distinction in his discourse between attachment and compassion.
"The whole idea of the movie, ultimately is that you have the Light Side and the Dark Side. The Light Side is compassion, which means you care about other people. The Dark Side is you care only about yourself. And you are obsessed with yourself. Getting your pleasure and getting all your stuff. The other one, you give it to everybody. You give goodness and health to everybody else.Ā  So the issue of love... thereā€™s a line between loving somebody compassionately and caring about them and helping them. But the other line is not to be greedy or... once you are greedy then you get fearful. You donā€™t want to lose what it is you have that you are getting. So you have to learn to give up everything. And ultimately for a Jedi Knight, itā€™s very easy to give up." - Celebration V, Main Event, 2010
In-universe, this is something Anakin knew the theory of, but never really applied all that much.
Tumblr media
Luke on the other hand, was able to learn the lesson and apply it.
Speaking in Lucas lingo, it's not Luke's attachment that makes him spare Vader. It's his compassion. And in turn, that compassion inspires Vader to do the same.
"It really has to do with learning. Children teach you compassion. They teach you to love unconditionally. Anakin canā€™t be redeemed for all the pain and suffering heā€™s caused. He doesnā€™t right the wrongs, but he stops the horror. The end of the Saga is simply Anakin saying, ā€˜I care about this person, regardless of what it means to me. I will throw away everything that I have, everything that I have grown to love - primarily the Emperor - and throw away my life, to save this person. And Iā€™m doing this because he has faith in me, loves me despite all the horrible things Iā€™ve done. I broke his motherā€™s heart, but he still cares about me, and I canā€™t let that die.ā€™" - The Making of Revenge of The Sith; page 221
Or, to put things more simply:
Attachment (selfish love), is what makes Anakin do this:
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Compassion (selfless love), is what makes Luke do this:
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Now, could Lucas have made his narrative more explicit, to avoid confusion? Maybe.
But I think it's also fair to point the finger at the biggest cause of these muddied waters:
Tumblr media
Simply put, the Expanded Universe (the Star Wars books, novels and games that spun out of the films) established new lore elements that didn't necessarily align with Lucas' vision of things. Namely:
Jedi can get married, and Luke marries Mara Jade.
Jedi can begin their training as adults, and Luke takes on many apprentices that are already adults.
When considering George's minimal involvement in the development of EU stories, it's easy to see why these plot points were allowed to come through.
But when he made the Prequels, his headcanons came to light and the above plot points needed to be retconned.
Tumblr media
George Lucas' narrative:
"Nope. You can't be a Jedi and be married."
This isn't actually coming out of left field.
When Timothy Zahn asked for Luke and Mara to be married or engaged, back in 1993, Lucasfilm initially vetoed the idea.
And over the years, Lucas and other Lucasfilm employees have made it it clear that "Luke getting married" did not align with his vision (so much so that it's a plot point in Attack of the Clones).
Tumblr media
So the question becomes: why can't Jedi get married?
It's about commitment.
Tumblr media
Simply put: you can't have two marriages. Eventually, your commitment to one of them will falter and you'll ruin them both. A Jedi is already married to the cause and to the Order.
If they want to get married, they have to leave the Jedi.
"One of the things [the Jedi] give up is marriage. They can still love people. But they canā€™t possess them. They canā€™t own them. They canā€™t demand that they do things. They have to be able to accept the fact, one, their mortality, that they are going to die. And not worry about it. That the loved ones they have, everything they love is going to die and they canā€™t do anything about it. I mean they can protect them as you would ordinarily protect, you know, ā€˜Get out of the way of that car.ā€™ Somebody charges you with a gun, you knock the gun out, but there is an inevitability to life which is death and you have to accept that." - Celebration V, Main Event, 2010
And this is another example, really, of how Lucas' own values and past experiences shape the Jedi's teachings.
Marcia Lucas divorced George because he was constantly working on Star Wars, even when he wasn't directing it, which she said led to an emotional blockage in their marriage...
Tumblr media
... and this leads us to the reason why George didn't double-down on the success of the Original Trilogy: he decided to take time off to raise his three kids as a single Dad.
He learned his lesson, reasoned that he wouldn't be able to be both a good, present father and a successful blockbuster film director.
When you're dealing with time-consuming commitments of this scale, you need to make a choice, or you'll end up (half-assing and thus ruining) both of them.
"Nope. Jedi get taken in as babies for a reason."
Once again, this has to do with Lucas' definition of "attachment."
"Jedi Knights get taken from their families very young. They do not grow attachments, because attachment is a path to the Dark Side. You can love people, but you can't want to possess them. They're not yours. Accept that they have a fate. Even those you love most are going to die. You can't do anything about that. Protect them with your lightsaber, but if they die they were going to die. There's nothing you can do. All you can do is accept that fact. In mythology, if you go to Hades to get them back, you're not doing it for them, you're doing it for yourself. You're doing it because you don't want to give them up. You're afraid to be without them. The key to the Dark Side is fear. You must be clean of fear, and fear of loss is the greatest fear. If you're set up for fear of loss, you will do anything to keep that loss from happening, and you're going to end up in the Dark Side. That's the basic premise of Star Wars and the Jedi, and how it works. That's why they're taken at a young age to be trained. They cannot get themselves killed trying to save their best buddy when it's a hopeless exercise." - The Star Wars Archives: 1977-1983, 2018
Jedi need to maintain objectivity and neutrality, in their day-to-day lives of mediating peace between planets.
And learning to "let go of your attachments when the time comes" is part of that training. But it is something that takes discipline and time, and thus the child needs to be young enough to develop this skill. Otherwise, they end up like Anakin, who always struggled to properly learn it and eventually was doomed by his greed.
This being part of Lucas narrative is also evidenced that in his earlier plans for the Sequel trilogy, he'd have Luke train children, not adults like he does in the EU.
Tumblr media
"Luke is trying to restart the Jedi. He puts the word out, so out of 100,000 Jedi, maybe 50 or 100 are left. The Jedi have to grow again from scratch, so Luke has to find two- and three-year-olds, and train them. Itā€™ll be 20 years before you have a new generation of Jedi." The Star Wars Archives: 1999-2005, 2020
Tumblr media
The EU's retcons of Lucas' narrative:
Now, obviously, the addition of all these rules and other elements such as midi-chlorians... it does something to the older audience. They grew up on the Original Trilogy, dreaming they could be a Jedi too if they just believed enough. Now that bubble is burst.
"Wait, if I'm a Jedi I can't get married?! And I need to be taken in as a toddler, with a certain kind of blood score?! That's bullshit!"
More importantly... it goes against about a decade's worth of established EU lore (which Lucas never factored into his storytelling)!
So what does Lucasfilm Licensing do? They go with it.
They take these "weird" rules the older audience and authors don't like, and retcon a new narrative around them to ensure both the books and the new films all stay canon within the EU own continuity.
George Lucas revealed new information about his universe in Episode II that ran counter to earlier stories of the Expanded Universe. Among the surprises: the Jedi Order is monastic, with love and marriage forbidden to its members. This would necessitate reforms to the Jedi Code over time to separate the ancient era when Nomi Sunrider was married to a Jedi, seen in the Tales of the Jedi (1993ā€“94) comics, as well as the post-Empire era when Luke Skywalker married Mara Jade in the comic series Union (1999ā€“2000). LucasBooks also needed to create plausible exceptions for Ki-Adi-Mundi, a Jedi Master who had multiple wives in the Prelude to Rebellion comics (1999). - Pablo Hidalgo, The Essential Readerā€™s Companion, 2012
When it comes to Luke specifically, the narrative becomes:
Tumblr media
"Uh... y-yes. The old Jedi Order forbid marriage, only took in toddlers and had a blood pre-requisite... which was weird, wrong, too detached, too systemic, and part of why their Order failed! But, uh, Luke's New Jedi Order allows marriage, unlike his dogmatic predecessors, because anyone can be a Jedi guys!" Hahaha! (fuck's sake George)
But as already explained above: those new rules aren't meant to be perceived negatively. It would make no sense if they were, they're based on Lucas' own values.
You know what it does do, though?
It cements the narrative that Luke is the One True Jediā„¢, who rejected the dogmatic teachings to forge a new path forward.
That's not the intended narrative of the Original Trilogy, nor the six-film saga as a whole.

: Ģ—Ģ€āž› overview: various heacanons for toji, nsfw below the cut
: Ģ—Ģ€āž› tw; afab body w/no gendered language. nsfw cut includes teasing, mentions of semi-public, shower sex, face fucking, etc.
: Ģ—Ģ€āž› a/n: these headcanons were a request. i hope you enjoy them and thank you so much for requesting!
ā”€ā”€ įƒ“ ā”€ā”€
sfw;
ā–ø toji's favorite petnames for you include sweetheart, doll, and princess (regardless of your gender). he purrs them, usually when he wants something, or is trying to rile you up. just something about seeing how flushed your cheeks get really spurs him on.
ā–ø loves annoying you. i'm sorry but he is so the type to tighten jars and lids just a bit too tight on purpose, because then he gets to tease you about it when you come around asking for help. puts things on the highest shelf he can because this man towers over everything, and it never fails to make him laugh seeing you on the tips of your toes.
ā–ø favorite place to kiss you is for sure your shoulders. just imagine him standing behind you as you cook dinner, arms lazily draped around your waist. and him, humming about how good it smells as he peppers kisses around your shoulders and neck.
ā–ø for sure very protective. i mean, he's an assassin. he's made a lot of enemies. he's in a dangerous line of work. and he knows that you're sharing that spotlight with him as well, as soon as it becomes known he associates with you. because of that, he makes sure you know how to defend yourself. teaching you how to handle a weapon, how to throw punches, how to handle punches. the idea of losing you because he wasn't there to protect you honestly destroys him, no matter how much he pretends it doesn't. plus, he loves a partner that can beat his ass and keep up with him in a fight <33
ā–ø always puts his hands on your thigh whenever he's driving. squeezing and massaging at the flesh, tapping his fingers to the beat of whatever song is playing. letting you play with his fingers and trace the lines on his palm as the scenery outside passes by swiftly.
ā–ø complains and complains and complains anytime you're wearing his clothes but it's all just a facade. he doesn't actually care you're raiding his dresser because god, you look so damn good in his shirts and he'll never get tired of it.
ā–ø will never admit it but he always makes sure you fall asleep before he does. he doesn't know exactly why. maybe it's just to make sure that you'll stay, that you're not going to slip away in the middle of the night. maybe it's because it's the only time he'll really allow him to look at you. to let his eyes trail your face, memorizing the curves of your cheeks and counting your eyelashes.
ā–øtoji is also a big bastard. teasing is for sure his love language in every sense of the word. poking at your sides where he knows your ticklish. tugging at a strand at your hair when you're both laying on the couch. humming just a bit too loud in the shower when he knows you're waiting for him to get out of the bathroom already. he loves you, really he does, and with that comes his smug little smiles and mocking little laughs.
ā–ø speaking of. you're for sure the first to love the big 'i love you'. he's not the most emotionally available and you know that. so, when you believed you were both ready, you said it. and he didn't really know how to react at first, honestly. one part of him was screaming to run, to get out, to get away from this feeling tugging at his chest. but another part, the bigger part, was being set aflame with adoration and was begging him to chase the warmth that was you.
ā–ø after that, saying he loves you is easy. he says it often, especially during goodbyes of any kind.
ā”€ā”€ įƒ“ ā”€ā”€
nsfw;
ā–ø shower with him oh my god please. seriously he's practically dragging you into the shower with him anytime either of you mention needing to bathe. he loves pressing you against the tiled wall and getting you all dirty and sweaty before washing you off with his soap.
ā–ø remember above where i said he likes seeing you in his clothes? yeah. some days he'll wake up and see you at the doorway, wearing only his shirt. it engulfs you, draping down to your thigh and slipping off your shoulder. and he can see the remnants of last night left on you- the hickeys peppering your neck, the hand print carving itself into your thigh. it drives him absolutely crazy and you can bet he's pulling you back into bed for another round seconds later tee hee
ā–ø he's very vocal in bed, i think. lots of groaning, and even more dirty talk. he gets so pussy drunk off of you that he just starts babbling all the nasty thoughts that pop into his mind, going on and on about how good you feel and how much he loves fucking you.
ā–ø adding on to this, he wants you to be vocal in bed, too. he wants to hear all of your whines and whimpers and moans. he wants to hear how good he's making you feel. and if he thinks that you're purposefully muffling yourself, he'll go to no ends to force those pretty little noises from your lips.
ā–ø lordd please let this man face fuck you. he's so down bad for it, like it drives him actually crazy. feeling you gag around his cock as he bullies it down the back of your throat, watching the spit dripple past your lips when he finally pulls away...!!!!
ā–ø his love language being teasing does notttt stop in the bedroom. he's so mean about it, really. watching how you squirm at his light touches and how you slowly break down with every denial of him fucking you, until you're practically begging you. it gives him such a rush seeing you so desperate, all because of him.
ā–ø will fuck you literally anywhere. anytime. he doesn't care. you've been pressed against more surfaces than you can admit to, and not many of them even being in your own home.

I canā€™t honestly see Gojo maintaining a long term relationship without him having self destructive tendencies. Heā€™s not exactly a bad boyfriend, heā€™s surprisingly patient (learned trait as a teacher) and realistic, even cynical on a lot of subjects. But heā€™s has seen a lot, done a lot and been through a lot. His world has been shaken, destroyed and rearranged so he feels genuine unease and insecurity when he thinks his life is beginning to have some type of stability for once. Which can become Gojo becoming oddly unsure of himself.
He doesnā€™t understand a lot about himself even at 28 years old, which translates to him struggling to understand where he stands with you. He adores you, in the same way he adored Geto. Hell, he might love you in a more romantic manner than he loved Geto but that doesnā€™t change the fact that often when you two alone heā€™s in his own world. He doesnā€™t mean to be distant, but he overthinks a lot. He thinks and thinks and thinks and he gets lost in it. You have to reel him in. Heā€™ll learn to overcome this bad habit if you give him some encouragement and help.
Always somewhere doing something fighting God knows what. Itā€™s nerve wracking to see him come home after what seems like a week of him just in missions. This can really strain your relationship with Gojo and if itā€™s a casual thing, then I canā€™t see him putting too much effort into it. If itā€™s serious, he will try but try and do are two different things.
Not a very sexual man, he doesnā€™t have time to sit down and think about sex. Heā€™s comfortable being without it for the rest of his natural life, honestly. When he was a teen, of course he was hormonal and moody. But now as an adult, he thinks of it differently. Itā€™s not a necessity nor does he seek it out. Of course he wonā€™t mind if you initiate it. Itā€™d just be rare for him to make sexual advances on you unprompted. He also values consent A LOT. He hates things going unspoken because it wasnā€™t until relatively recently did Gojo truly did begin to understand people in general, so he wants you to be clear with him on basically everything.
His students, his work as a teacher, it means everything to him. It grounds him when heā€™s busy thinking about what if he had gone with Geto, what if Toji hadnā€™t appeared, what if he wasnā€™t the strongest, so you have to value that too. Thatā€™s a given in a relationship with Gojo and he might put his students before you. If it becomes serious and long term, he might want you to meet his students at some point.
THE master of bad puns and jokes. Thereā€™ll be a lot of unserious nights watching him reorganize his Digimon cards into his special folder for the 10th time or watch a romcom with him, just the two of you. These are moments Gojo loves and cherishes. He cherishes what you make him feel.
He canā€™t help but fall in love. Heā€™s desperately wanting to be who people think he is, to be professional, to understand the role given to him, but heā€™s human. And he canā€™t deny it to himself that when he lays down and does his daily routine of overthinking, his brain goes to you. And he has a disdain for it. The last time he got this close to someoneā€¦well, theyā€™re not that close anymore. Gojo wants to be both the strongest and the man he wishes he could be for you. But thereā€™ll be times he canā€™t be that man, he has to be the strongest because society needs him. And itā€™s emotionally taxing to both him and you.
Letā€™s be real, we arenā€™t him. We as people arenā€™t anything like Gojo so we donā€™t understand what itā€™s like being the sorcerer everyone turns to when shit hits the fan, nor will we ever carry that burden (I hope not). And that creates tension. Gojo is disconnected with people which can go both ways for misunderstandings. Heā€™s frustrated at himself that he canā€™t be what he wants to be and heā€™s frustrated at you for not being like him (maybe heā€™s even frustrated youā€™re not like Geto in the way you canā€™t understand him.) Youā€™re frustrated because you just canā€™t always grasp the severity or the way of life with being the strongest sorcerer and also frustrated because itā€™s just creating tension. But itā€™s not hopeless! Heā€™s learned that people do care for him beyond just his titles. And heā€™s learned that communication can make or break a relationship.
If you two overcome your differences, your fears, and become a long term thing itā€™s his LIFELINE. You are priority number one. That selfish, pretentious part of him really comes back, it really shines through when it comes to you. Youā€™re one part of his life that doesnā€™t depend on his strength, on this idea of his power bordering deity status. Youā€™re everything to him by not treating him so holy. And God he wonā€™t fuck it up. I canā€™t see him cheating, not even accidentally. He wonā€™t fuck around, because his devotion is so deep. And he expects devotion back. Heā€™s not possessive but youā€™re his.

Probably the best dating option out of all the JJK men lmfao. Heā€™s responsible, impossibly patient, open minded, kind, humane and very intelligent. Not to mention, heā€™s hot! Heā€™s a total hunk with brains which is perfect for basically anyone. And heā€™s pretty sane, so thatā€™s also a plus. Heā€™d probably be the easiest to the date. He wonā€™t compare you to his exes, he wonā€™t ditch you, heā€™s great at communication and heā€™s shockingly very blunt about his emotions. And that can make everything much easier as heā€™s not very secretive. Also heā€™s very attentive to your emotions, itā€™s scary. He has to read people and situations quick to survive his missions so he has this eerie habit of reading your features scarily accurate.
Heā€™s quick to judge character or misunderstand someone, though. If someoneā€™s coming off as rude or as arrogant, Nanami takes them at face value. He doesnā€™t do soul searching psycho analyzing bullshit, if youā€™re a dick then youā€™re a dick regardless of whatever happened to make you a dick. Yes, heā€™s attentive and emotionally intelligent but in his field of work, heā€™s seen a lot of genuine freaks and weirdos. So he doesnā€™t think twice before judging someone.
He absolutely does NOT want you to be in any sorcerer problem. No. He canā€™t handle that. You could be as strong as Sukuna and heā€™s still battling himself on whether or not he should sit you down and talk to you about it. He doesnā€™t care if itā€™s selfish, he doesnā€™t care if the higher ups argue with him, the idea of you in this field of work haunts him and he hates it. Even if it helps people, he hates it because he knows at any moment you could be harmed or worse. Just this once let him be selfish in having you when all heā€™s ever done is be selfless and humane.
This may or may not upset some of yā€™all but Nanami is not a daddy dom. He doesnā€™t really care for sex much like Gojo. If it happens, it happens. But if it doesnā€™t happen, he doesnā€™t care. Heā€™s plain vanilla and he hates kinky shit simply because it just gives him a bad taste. He prefers if sex comes much much later in a relationship since heā€™s very traditional in the sense he wants a model family. Not to say heā€™s a slut shamer (my king is NOT.) but he will absolutely not find the basis of a good relationship from a one night stand. Or maybe he will, who knows? He just wants stability that wonā€™t come from someone fleeting is all.
He will stare blankly at a man joking about you in anyway thatā€™s mean spirited. That shit does not go with him because he will actually visibly roll his eyes and make a rude statement. Never ever think someone will disrespect you in his presence because heā€™d actually rather listen to Gojoā€™s Digimon rants than ever let anyone disrespect you. Even if youā€™re casual with him, youā€™re funny if you think it wonā€™t become serious with him. He has this charm to him thatā€™ll draw you to him. Can you tell I am in love?
99% of the time, itā€™s serious. Casual isnā€™t something he has the time for. Itā€™s serious and long term. Which means he expects for you to be committed, honest, loyal and humble. He canā€™t stand someone who isnā€™t those things and if you donā€™t embody that then he wonā€™t give you the time of day. He doesnā€™t play games, he doesnā€™t do situationships. Itā€™s all or nothing with Nanami because tomorrow he might not be able to visit you. And you bet your ass heā€™ll do a background check on you. Heā€™s SERIOUS.
He might falter in the way he canā€™t express himself at times. Heā€™s so used to just mindlessly staring off into space about the shit that happens to him that he sort of forgets he can also speak to you about his problems. And as mature as Nanami is, he does have his moods. He gets grumpy, he gets bitchy, he gets upset, but he wonā€™t take it out on you. Heā€™ll just silently deal with it himself, because thatā€™s the way heā€™s learned to handle the problems. It gets to a point that itā€™s unhealthy and he knows it, so heā€™s stuck in that situation of being aware of his shortcomings but he feels like he canā€™t do much about it. Itā€™s an awkward hell he can often trap himself in.
Thereā€™ll be some nights, where everythingā€™s dead, everythingā€™s still. Itā€™s just you and him in bed. And he suddenly just tears up and hugs you. And he silently sobs into your chest, clutching you like youā€™re his safety net. Because you are, he relies on you for normalcy. For love, for peace. And the way he needs it is like an addict needing their next fix. Thatā€™s why heā€™s so adamant about you not coming close to his line of work, because he doesnā€™t want to start coming to terms with that. Heā€™ll be dependent on you for emotional support because like every other sorcerer, Nanami has seen things that would leave the average man a shell of his former self. And sometimes Nanami cries to you because heā€™s so afraid that yes, he is a shell of who he was. You have to reassure him he isnā€™t.
An emotionally driven person despite his professional look. Heā€™s a kind, sweet guy at the end of the day who I can never see doing a mistake too unforgivable or having a flaw too deep that it canā€™t be overlooked. Heā€™s another man with you, a softer man. A man that lays with you simply watching a stupid movie because heā€™s got the time. And in that time, he feels normal. He feels average. Itā€™s funny; he left his salary job to be a sorcerer so he shouldnā€™t have any room to complain about normalcy since it was his choice. But still, we all strive for stability and a peaceful life. And itā€™s not a crime for him to want it too, you tell him.

Iā€™m going to need every Toji stan to be so ridiculously for real and sit down and listen to me when I say this man is trouble. Heā€™s hot I canā€™t deny that but my god, heā€™s like an amalgamation of bad decisions. Heā€™d do casual dating solely to leech off of you if you have money and thatā€™s UBER broke man activities. Heā€™s also the type to have situationships he just either ghosts or ditches because he does not see it as worth it. Or heā€™d blow money like itā€™s nothing because he just doesnā€™t have impulse control when it comes to horse racing. Heā€™s like a walking red flag when it comes to casual dating.
Heā€™s down for casual sex but I canā€™t see him starting a relationship based on casual sex. So if you want something with him, itā€™s hard to start it simply because this man will identify that effort and shut it off or not reciprocate it. He thinks youā€™re nice, he thinks youā€™re sweet, but thatā€™s about it. Toji can be very iffy when it comes relationships. He wants something out of it, so youā€™d probably enter it knowing he has ulterior motives out of it. Sex isnā€™t a big deal to him anymore, he canā€™t see it as a big deal. Itā€™s just something he does to stroke his ego and to help himself when heā€™s in a mood. His way of being can be hedonistic. And destructive.
But, he isnā€™t just sex and gambling and eating. He is a broken man with a twisted way of love and caring because of the unfortunate circumstances he was raised in. And that isnā€™t up to anyone but him to fix. So donā€™t expect to fix him, because Toji wonā€™t do it himself. Heā€™s not a helpless case but I canā€™t see Toji doing much outside of just acknowledging it. Heā€™s also very VERY touchy on his past and on you trying to get closer to him besides anything thatā€™s casual couple things. Itā€™s possible for him to open up and be personal, but again remember he was raised in an abusive situation so he views things and himself differently than others. His understanding of the world is bleak.
Would he cheat? No. Probably not. He might see a good looking chick and stare for too long or might make a comment to himself but Toji wouldnā€™t cheat. Itā€™s not worth the screaming and breakup texts and comments. Heā€™s not the smartest man alive but he knows better. And to be brutally honest, he thinks it wonā€™t last long with you. Thatā€™s just how it is with him most of the time. He doesnā€™t see the need to cheat because A.) Either you or him will ditch the other or B.) The mess is too much to clean up.
He doesnā€™t really care what your input on his income and wasteful lifestyle is, itā€™s how he lives. And nobody tells him what to do. He didnā€™t leave the Zenin just to be told off by a person heā€™s seeing casually. And he hates it when someone does that. Itā€™s his life, not yours. But like I said beforeā€”Toji isnā€™t stupid. He is intelligent and resourceful. If he sees you truly, honestly, genuinely wanting someone and trying then maybe as you two are sat at another dinner date he looks over. And maybe as he looks over, heā€™ll see that same type of sheer joy he saw so long ago in her eyes. And maybe after years living his lifestyle, does Toji think to himself that maybe you wonā€™t flee if he stops being this pompous persona.
If every star aligns for it to happen, heā€™ll become gentler during sex. Heā€™ll start to think twice before overspending on betting tickets, heā€™ll start to walk you to your home. Heā€™s not impossible to work with but heā€™s extremely closed off and shut off from anything romantic after losing his wife. Selfishly, Toji compares every lover after her to her and he sneers at the thought of them ever measuring up to her. And yet here he finds himself awkwardly wanting to say more to you. But he canā€™t open his trap.
Heā€™s super not sure how to do PDA. Back then, sheā€™d initiate everything. So heā€™s left scratching at his head on how to show affectionate again in a way that isnā€™t sex or fake. If he really starts to feel for you, heā€™s going the extra step to make sure youā€™re on the inside of the sidewalk and heā€™s right beside you. I feel like thatā€™s the extent he can really show his affection, by doing really menial tasks people donā€™t think twice about. His hand lingers on yours when he hands you some groceries, his eyes stay on you as you talk. He hasnā€™t done this serious relationship crap since forever.
Youā€™re gonna have to correct a lot of behavior from him which is exhausting. Youā€™re gonna have to tell him again and again youā€™re not his dead wife so he canā€™t compare apples to oranges. Youā€™re not there for him to rely on to change his way for because youā€™re not a therapist, youā€™re his partner. Youā€™re not here for him to constantly depend on you emotionally to fix his deeper rooted problems, thatā€™s on him. Heā€™s a lovely man when heā€™s not constantly full of the negative things. But at his worst, heā€™s a dependent wreck whoā€™s always thinking of her.
If Toji really really does love you, heā€™ll go beyond the world for you. Heā€™ll kill and maim for you, heā€™d devote his life savings to your future with him. Youā€™d become something he cherishes more than money, more than his hedonistic tendencies, youā€™re everything. The air he breathes, the warm breeze, youā€™re his life. And he wonā€™t lose you. He wonā€™t sabotage himself to lose something he built good for himself and for you. Heā€™d honest to God turn his life around. But again, old habits die hard especially pertaining to Toji. So who knows if heā€™d really be up for it.

No. Just no. Absolutely not. Let me say it this way; Sukuna genuinely has disinterest in anything that isnā€™t mass murder with a capital M. Heā€™d literally do everything in his power to be the most heart breaking, bigoted boyfriend imaginable. Heā€™s a wretched son of a bitch. Heā€™s the biggest red flag of the entire series. Sukuna is quite disinterested in romance and relationships as a whole.
Heā€™s a fun villain but as a lover? This man would not hesitate to be a terrible person. He has no problems beating his fucking nephew and murdering children, he has no problem being terrible with you. The only reason I can see him dating you is simply because heā€™s bored and he wants to see what the fuss is kinda like how he eat popcorn and drank soda in Shibuya. But donā€™t get it twisted, itā€™s all on HIS terms. HIS rules. He doesnā€™t give a shit what you care about or worry for. Your role as his partner is to follow what he says and if you donā€™t? Youā€™re the next pile of human mush.
If you were of use to him like Uraume, he might consider you something worthy. His relationship with Uraume proves that he can choose a more amicable and stable relationship but letā€™s be for real, he wouldnā€™t especially if youā€™re not as strong as him or someone like Gojo. Youā€™d be a plaything at best. And he doesnā€™t share his plaything. Even with Uraume, itā€™s a relationship that benefits him personally so youā€™d have to provide something of that nature for him to consider you as much as he does Uraume. And good luck avoiding all the comparison he will do to Uraume, heā€™s toxic LOL.
This can either go two ways which are 1.) you are his favored plaything. And that comes with pros and cons. The pros are that youā€™re somewhat under the protection of THE Sukuna. Thatā€™s about it for the pros because heā€™d be a possessive, controlling, dominating manchild who would expect you to bend to his whims and any backtalk would be met either a backhand or god knows what else from him. I pray for you if you stand too close to his male servants because theyā€™d be ripped in half simply because one glanced at you. Youā€™d be super isolated, your entire world would just revolve around him whether or not you agree with him. Heā€™d probably stroke your hair not out of love, but as if youā€™re his pet. His possession. And god forbid you do something he doesnā€™t like. That leads to him making your life an entire inconvenience to the highest degree.
Impatient and would probably roll his eyes and gaslight you at every turn and tell me Iā€™m wrong. Heā€™d probably laugh and clap if you fell and sprained your ankle.
The second option would be the Uraume route which is a subordinate that can provide him something thatā€™ll be in service to him. I imagine heā€™d be the biggest bitch ever and very particular so youā€™d have to deal with him but the benefit of that would be the fact that heā€™d let you stand close to him and have him cross his bottom two arms over his thick, muscled chest whilst one hand rests on the small of your back to keep you close to him as he overlooks his destruction. It sounds insane but I can see him thinking better of you after sometime as his subordinate. And even in this route I feel like the possessive, selfish streak will continue because youā€™re actually funny if you think Sukunaā€™s selfishness has any stops. He will be selfish and probably bodyblock anybody from staring at you.
I can see why Gege wants him so bad though heā€™s so fine
Honestly, with sex I feel like he really would not give a shit. I mean yes, he has his group of women, but it bores him. Sex doesnā€™t thrill him unlike fighting, unlike the ability to wreak havoc to a small town that has no choice nor power to defend itself. He understands sexual attraction but I canā€™t see Sukuna acting on it. He might find you attractive enough to keep you locked up in a dungeon or in a chamber but I feel like he wouldnā€™t exactly seek you out. Youā€™re more of an afterthought to Sukuna. And you better be comfortable with that because with him around thatā€™s not changing.
Best case scenario? You mean something to him like a useful subordinate he WOULDNā€™T kill alongside his other servants. Heā€™d like someone resourceful, quick on their feet, intelligent, witty and someone who can understand him which is really weird to say about someone who would skin a grandma. He wants someone to just get him off the bat because I really feel like Sukuna judges hard, especially if youā€™re someone heā€™s seriously considering giving respect.
