#OOC: good luck guys

[carmen-vanido]

Ma'am, with all due respect-

That anon wasn't lying. Were they cruel about telling you? Yes. Were they making stuff up? God, I wish.

Carmen deleted your ask before even revealing the pictures as soon as she reads the 'with all due respect', sighing in annoyance.

Caelus would have the rotation luck on gacha games of all times he either gets a five star at one pity or gets a double five star ten pull OR he ends up at hard pity twice loses his 50/50 and goes all or nothing broke by the end of it.

hmmmmm hey guys

i like to think charlie was just really annoying about the events of episode 8 for a while. whenever he has to do something he doesn’t want to he’s like remember what happened last time you forced me to do something? and he always uses the excuse ‘cmon i was literally born like yesterday’ for absolutely anything even when it’s been like half a year since it happened

Something I don't talk about enough and kinda gloss over a lot because Artemis is like... friendly... amiable.... personable and stuff yea.... is the fact that he is, in fact, what is essentially a 'retired bad guy'. That shop he runs? His retirement plan. He's old and tired and is done fighting and being mindlessly hateful and angry about everything that's ever happened to him. Now he's chiller and trying to just move on with his shit. Is he still murderously angry about it? ......yes.... is he just calmer outwardly and of a more sound mind? Also yes.

Does that mean he's a good guy now...? absolutely not. Is he still a bad guy? nah... not really. But that like trope of the merchant/tavern keeper being unexpectedly a little stupidly OP and despite being 'retired' still can and absolutely will rock your shit if you test him? Yeah... he do be like that...

((TRYING TO WRITE MY KAZUI THEORY AND TUMBLR DELETES IT. UNFAIR.

Whatever. Hi. This man baffles the mind but I wanted to get down my thoughts on him before his s2 song drops. I'm gonna skip over providing evidence cuz I'm not writing all that shit again. If you want elaborations just ask!!

S1 Kazui theory below & if I'm far enough off base I will die in a parking lot!!

-

The details of the actual events are muddy and I'm scared, and not the main point of my analysis anyway, skip below for the juicier stuff, but my theory goes as follows

He and his wife get married, all is fun and lovely

Kazui is a liar boy tm. more on that later.

She starts feeling distant and sad :(

He pursues his career. in the process he meets Bar Lady

As he does this, he's spending noticeably less time with wife. She doesn't know what's going on. It adds to the worries she's already fostered, watching him lie through their marriage and all.

Networking with Bar Lady becomes vital for his growth in Career(tm)

He doesn't cheat on his wife. (at least not emotionally? Things might have escalated, but I don't think he fell for her. The way he acts is cordial. He wears his ring blatantly. If it did escalate, it's probably because she wanted it to, and he didn't see a problem with it because he didn't actually love her. It's a chess move.)

He tells his wife about it. "I've failed before when prioritizing emotions. I'll never act on my feelings ever again." -- I think he either started feeling guilty and confessed, or his 'networking' worked and got him an impressive gig, and he told her in excitement.

As said, she's been watching his tendencies for a long time now. Worrying for their relationship, trying to communicate but getting nothing out of him. She might even have started worrying that something is wrong with her? He always acts like the perfect man, and never shows the dark underbelly that humans have- worrying about her own troubles next to his 'perfection' isn't out of he question, in my opinion. But learning about this- straws and camels, you know

All that, and, or, it's possible that he did fall for the Bar Lady, whatever. Maybe he told wife he didn't love her anymore. Or maybe she told him she knew something was up with him, and he needed to sort himself out. Maybe wife died, maybe bar lady died, maybe he died. I can't claim to know exactly what went down, what I really want to tackle is how I think Kazui approaches life

That is, it's all a play. All of it.

Growing up, and becoming a 'good, responsible adult' -- This is something he idealized, internalized, obsessed over, and acted out as perfectly as he could manage.

And that's the problem. He's never not thinking about his role in society, even here, in the minor 'society' of this prison-- He's so focused on this role of his, but he never actually understood what goes on behind the scenes of a 'good, responsible adult'.

It became a matter of ignoring every emotion. And his fatal flaw, as he sees it-- what killed another, and what ruined the 'perfect life' he was achieving, was emotion. He 'dared to dream' -- I interpret this lament of his as being about his career, aspiring for 'bigger and better' rather than settling for the average 'pays-the-bills' kind of work that a typical 'responsible adult' might do.

That, and speaking to his wife honestly for the first time about it. Imagining that he could bring a bit of truth into this 'picture-perfect marriage' , reveal a bit of what laid behind his curtain, get emotional, just a little, and that- as far as he can tell- leading to her death. When we affirmed him, it affirmed these ideas-- So he still has yet to wrap his head around exactly what had happened.

In his mind, lies are good. Normal. Everybody does it.

Emotions are useless. Remorse is useless. Things like that only bring about pain.

In the preview of "Cat", he seems frustrated-- Of course he is, because the worldview he was assured is right just doesn't line up with reality. The fact of that has been brought front and center through milgram, and some part of him understands, on some level, that lying as much as he does isn't good. It's killed someone. But he doesn't know the first thing about how to cope with that, to even accept that, really-- and I think being told he's 'forgiven' has only worsened his ability to make sense of it.

Right now, while he's trying to act unbothered and be a rock for the younglings, I think he's actually feeling very frustrated and confused. But as he does, as he always does, he suppresses and ignores it until milgram yanks it from the depths of his heart.

-

one more note, since I'm not sure where to smoothly fit it- I can't say I'm convinced he actually loves his wife. He seems to care a great deal about her, has fun with her, and maybe thinks he loves her? Maybe. But proper love, the kind that she deserved, is something that he just can't grasp with his current approach to emotions.

I also think it's very possible that he only married her because it's 'what you do'. The ideal image of an adult, in his mind, is married. He liked her enough to play house... But for her to go and die, and plunge his life into all this-- While I think he might be genuinely grieving, at least a little, he still seems to be kind of cold about it? Hard to tell amidst his lying habits, but I wouldn't put it past him to sort of blame her for his current situation. Everything was going to script until she up and died, after all.

Can't say for sure if he's that dark, but I wouldn't be surprised either way, is what I'm saying.

.

All in all, though-- Life is a play. Everything follows a tried and true script.

Going off-script is something that always has- but especially now- left him baffled, lost, and very scared.

I think he's going to cling to his role with everything he has, until Milgram has not only ripped away his mask, but torn it to a thousand pieces.

Gojo and Toji wearing the same outfit is like a metaphor to convey they share a similarity in blind pride. They were both completely caught off-guard by a one-shot attack. Toji’s and Gojo’s complacency with their level of power caused their deaths because they expected to win no matter what. Sukuna is a war veteran so to say. He was born in an era when survival happens daily. He was experienced. Sukuna's potential had fully manifested, whereas Gojo's and Toji's wasn't due to them living in a modern time where curses are much weaker (they had no competition). There was just no chance for improvement.

But in the end, Gojo was satisfied with it. He was in a way released from the burdens he carried with himself.

I liked that Gojo resonated with Sukuna's loneliness as well. And in return, he earned Sukuna's respect.
