#That wasn't supposed to say KFC

[hermitsdump]

I have so many posts (both my own and others' analysis) about Sukuna, ngl currently he and Geto are my top 2 favorites (Choso and Gojo were there for months too ngl, I still love them and most characters) but it took going through jjk like 12 times and overthinking to redeem them.

I like going through jjk so many times and being able to understand, relate to, etc. different characters, even those that I used to hate or dismiss (there are still a few that I hate more every time tho lmao).

Anyway I have several (3 or 4, at least) theories on how Choso can still come back, so I can't rly hold that against Sukuna.

Also - - they all approached him first. Sukuna never goes out of his way to kill uninvolved people, he doesn't take joy in others' suffering like Haruta and those old curse users we saw in Shibuya.

He exists for leisure like Nanami, like Megumi, and if we look into the little details of clothing, Heian era history, culture, religion etc, along with the way he speaks and interacts with others, psychology and trauma responses, it can actually tell us a lot, though details might remain ambiguous.

I've said everything Sukuna did wrong was either against his own will or a trauma response, and I don't take it back.

There's the way that Sukuna and Gojo are 2 sides of the same coin, that Gojo became the monster by giving up his body and Sukuna became the monster by taking over Megumi's (in a desperate grasp for his own autonomy - which I believe to be his main motivation for anything).

There's also the irl Sukuna lore / shrine, which might not be canon but sounds a lot like Gojo - regarded as a hero by the people, but demonized by the government, anyway.

I'm gonna stop here bc I have a million sukuna defense posts out there already, this is just a handful of thoughts ig.

Usually I forgive gege/sukuna for his crimes bc gege gives us so many beautiful images of true form sukuna and it takes me an hour to read a chapter bc I just. Keep looking at him. And he's one of my favorite characters.

But he's in time out rn!! Both sukuna and gege ughhhhh that was........ No.....

It can't be Chosover.

[in-class-daydreams]

cw. a lil age gap, but everyone is well over 18 (Gojo and Reader are ~40, Yuta is ~30)

Imagine the way ex-husband Gojo's eye twitches seeing how Yuta Okkotsu treats you.

You and Yuta had only seen each other in passing over the years. In fact, you never even officially met until he was several years out of school on the account of your innate technique causing Rika to go haywire. So while there was always a possibility of you seeing someone after the divorce, Satoru would never in his wildest dreams have guessed who it'd be. He'd heard through the grapevine that you only started seeing more of each other last year.

Satoru has to see you at the biweekly joint staff meetings between the Tokyo and Kyoto schools, made especially awkward after not one, but two (2) post-divorce make outs. The last time he kissed you while you were fighting, you shoved him away and booted him out of the house using your technique. Granted, you kissed him back, but you're not exactly on great terms right now.

So, it's bad enough that he has to see you as much as he does. Even worse is now that everything's out in the open, he has to watch you fawn over someone that's not him.

"You're so sweet!" you cry when Yuta surprises you during your lunch break with takeout from your favorite restaurant. "Thank you so much, but you really didn't have to do all this for me."

Yuta places a hand on the small of your back and guides you towards the door to the courtyard. Adjusting the picnic blanket slung over his shoulder, he asks, "Why not?"

"It's so much effort," you reply.

"For you? Nothing feels like much effort," Yuta says with a cheeky grin.

Satoru just catches a glimpse of you covering your face with your hand - as you always do when you blush - and then the two of you are out the door. It takes all his effort not to gag at how cheesy that was. Never mind how genuine Yuta looked about it.

Of course Satoru had taken you out for lunch while you were together. All kinds of lunches. Mom and pop shops, food stands, upscale restaurants, you'd done it all. Your new suitor wasn't doing anything for you that he hadn't done.

Suitor. What was this, the 1800's?

Suguru appears at his side while he stares after you.

"Was that Yuta?" he asks. "I'm impressed. He's supposed to be at a week-long training in Ibaraki."

Ibaraki? The prefecture that's over two hours away? He came all this way to have lunch with you?

Alright, Satoru never did that. Not that he wouldn't have! He totally would've if he'd, you know, thought of it.

Suguru seems oblivious to the emotional bomb he just dropped on his best friend. "I'm starving. Let's hurry up and go eat. I'm good with anything except KFC," he complains.

It takes a couple tries to get his attention, but Satoru eventually pulls himself out of his thoughts. He comforts himself with the notion that Yuta would be gone by the time he returned.

Imagine that while Yuta himself may be absent, his presence damn near haunts ex-husband Gojo to death.

You're already back in the meeting room by the time he and Suguru return from lunch, only you now have a full water bottle (he noticed you pout when you drank the last of it earlier), a sleeve of oreos sticking out of your bag, and a cute travel mug full of some hot drink that you definitely didn't have before.

If Satoru wasn't so preoccupied with insisting to himself that, 'I totally did things like that back in the day!' and provided his ex-wife wasn't the woman in question, he'd be thinking, 'Yuta Okkotsu, I was unfamiliar with your game.'

Even more frustrating is how energetic you look. You have your notes out and are nibbling on an oreo, kicking your feet back and forth as if there's not another two and a half hours left of this meeting.

It's not that Satoru doesn't want you to be happy. Quite the opposite, actually, since he'd gladly give his life if he thought he could guarantee your eternal joy and safety. He's just not sure what Yuta has that he didn't. Or doesn't.

"What does she see in him?" Satoru murmurs to himself later, when a bunch of the staff members go out for drinks. You're at the bar laughing with Yuki and Shoko.

He regrets speaking out loud when Sukuna snorts from behind him.

"How much time do we have?" your coworker says with amusement. He slides into the booth, nursing his sake bomb with ice. It's a travesty of a drink, if you ask Satoru, but to each his own.

"Great, it's my least favorite person," Satoru gripes.

Sukuna seems to take great pleasure in Satoru's misery. "I think Okkotsu's earned himself that title."

Now, Satoru hates the taste of alcohol nor is it ever a good idea for someone constantly using a cursed technique to get drunk, but he can't bring himself to care at the moment.

He snatches the drink from Sukuna's hand and downs the whole thing in one go.

Imagine how baffled ex-husband Gojo is when his son delivers a cursed artifact to him instead of you.

"Where's your mom?" he asks.

Sen hands over the small box covered in talismans while his best friend, Nao, lingers by the office door. Rolling his eyes, he says, "We had a mission in the area, so Sukuna-sensei had us deliver this."

"Not what I asked you, kid," Satoru replies, leaning back in his chair. He gestures for the boys to have a seat, but neither move.

Nao, who has a tendency to stir the pot if he thinks it'll be funny, pipes up, "She's on vacation for a week."

Since when did you take vacations? And why hadn't he heard of this?

"What's she doing for a whole week?" he asks.

Nao replies. "Okkotsu finished his training and whisked her away to some onsen in Obanazawa."

Sen smirks. "That snowy place that looks like it's from Spirited Away? How romantic."

"Super romantic." Stir, stir, stir, Nao Zen'in.

Sen was not a fan of anyone trying to get close to his mom. He'd seen how the divorce hurt you, but so far, Yuta worshipped the ground you walked on, so Sen was at least willing to not be too hostile towards him if it meant antagonizing his father.

Sen and his friend quickly say their goodbyes and head out to do whatever it is high school boys do. Once they're gone, Satoru pulls out his phone and searches 'onsen obanazawa.' The results show Ginzan Onsen, a place with traditional Japanese architecture with a beautiful snowy landscape. But according to the reviews, though a wonderful and charming place, it wasn't from the best onsen in Japan. He wants to scoff at the fact that his supposed 'replacement' chose anything but the best for you, but then he sees where Obanazawa is, which is in Yamagata prefecture.

Where you grew up. Where you and Satoru met.

How had it never occurred to him to bring you back there?

When he mopes on Suguru's couch later that evening, he tells his best friend the whole story. Suguru's delicate features are twisted into a grimace the whole way through.

"Why are you making such an ugly face?" Satoru asks miserably.

"I've never been ugly a moment of my life, Satoru."

"You know what I mean."

Suguru sighs and clicks his tongue. "They're not official?"

"So she keeps saying."

Though reluctant to kick his friend while he's down, Suguru decides that Satoru needs to know so he can mentally prepare himself.

"He's taking her on a romantic trip to a beautiful resort in her home prefecture. They may not be official now, but after a trip like that, there's no way she's coming back without a label. Hell, if they were official, she'd most likely be coming back with a ring."

Hearing that, Satoru contemplates finding a nice spot in the cursed artifact archive and falling into a coma for at least the next thousand years.

Sorry, but I need to say something I've been thinking about for a while. I found geto's death forcing. 1.he loses to a boy with no experience and the power of ''love''. 2.he was stronger and had more knowledge and experience than the boy yuta. 3. It seems that the author just wanted to get rid of geto so that this annoying villain Kenjaku could come. 4. In my opinion, Geto is the best villain. I don't understand why the author didn't want to continue with him. 5. His death was forced because Saturo already had a change in character and personality. What I'm trying to say is that in the film, Satura is already different, he's no longer that immature young man. 6. the serious work was much more dramatic if geto had survived saturo blow he would have become stronger and returned as a villain again with sukuna. Sorry if it's big, but I have these doubts that such a good and well-constructed character had a horrible ending and very little.

I have mixed feelings about this anon but first I'd clarify things point by point for you and then give my opinion if possible

1. Yuuta Okkotsu has a special grade curse, the queen of curses Rika, the power of "love" you speak tho it might sound cliché does fit here well and it was explained in the manga that love is considered the most twisted curse (if you saw the movie you'd have seen that gojo said this line to him too).

2. Yes sure geto had more experience and knowledge but yuuta is an acclaimed prodigy, his cursed technique is mimicry, rika was so scaringly powerful even before she fully evolved, geto KNEW that if he absorbed rika he'd have everything needed to form his "ideal world". He wasn't just any nobody who managed to get lucky.

3. Okay now here there are two reasons and I am trying my best to find words to explain it, yuuta was meant to be the original mc of jjk, he is the op character. Geto wanted rika (as I mentioned in the previous point) to accomplish his dream so if geto won that battle the story as whole would've taken a very different turn, we wouldn't need itadori and the whole first years and their stories. Remember how I said yuuta was supposed to the actual mc? Yeah that's were gege actually made changes so he could make a better and elaborate plot.

4. Geto Suguru was infact an amazing villain, yes. But you've also got to understand that he was sympathetic towards jujutsu sorcerers, he'd never risk harming them (his own last words being "I never hated anyone from jjk high") unless they're in his way. He had to die because we needed someone who'd go all out, no mercy to anyone, no regard and sympathy for anyone and that's exactly why we needed someone like kenjaku, who was equally powerful, evil and not shy to bring hell.

5. Geto's death had nothing to do with "changing gojo's personality", that change already happened after hidden inventory and premature death arc. His death was an important decision for future plot points (explaining why yuuji was special, sealing the strongest etc).

6. This is where I fully give my opinion, sure Suguru would've come back as stronger and even more powerful villain but would he have achieved what kenjaku did? Geto Suguru that we knew would choose any other route than sealing Gojo, he literally did not even try to protect himself and gave gojo a chance to kill him (during kfc breakup), he never attacked jujutsu high until yuuta happened, he worked with rejected sorcerers and never paired up with evil curses like hanami, jogo and mahito. So, to put it simply it was important part of plot that geto first turned evil and then died, that shaped so many important arcs of the manga and it was well thought out for long run. Sure it's sad and frustrating but that was one good writing move on gege's part and there's no denying that.

Itadori Yuji x Reader

⚠️ Spoilers for chapter 257 and also a warning for cannibalism

Itadori Yuji

You enjoy fawning over babies, are a dog person or you have the attention span of a goldfish

First Date:

You were ecstatic. You never would have dreamed that your crush would agree to go out with you. Yuji insisted that the two of you meet up outside the theatre. Something about how he wanted to show you this romance movie? "I don't care as long as I'm with you itadori." You then heard what sounded like someone trying to vomit? "What was that?" Before Yuji could respond he slapped himself. "Are you feeling alright?"

"Just swatting an annoying mosquito. Anyway I'm gonna go grab some popcorn now..." You wondered why Itadori was acting so nervous. "Maybe he's just as excited about this date as I am?" You then made sure your mascara was on fleek and then made your way to the screening. "Great, you made it! It's just about to start!" You sat down while the previews began playing.

You couldn't help but notice how your date was shovelling fists full of popcorn down his throat, almost as if he was eating for two people. "Hungry?" you whispered. You then heard a voice saying "No more brat, this tastes awful!" It was probably just the movie since you two were the only ones in the room. Yuji then gave you a bashful look as he rubbed the back of his head. "I guess I've always had a larger appetite. My grandpa once mentioned something about my uncle eating his twin in the womb?" You were too stunned to speak.

The title of the movie showed up on screen. 'HUMAN EARTHWORM 4'. You cringed. How was this a romance movie? You were starting to fall asleep out of boredom when you heard a voice that was far too deep to belong to Itadori. "Pathetic. This is your attempt at courting a woman? Back in the Heian era I would-" There was a loud clap that was enough to fully wake you up. "What happened Itadori?"

Yuji was now sweating bullets. "Oh, You fell asleep? Is the movie not to your liking? We can always do something else if you want." Why did your date have to be so sweet? "No, it's fine. I suppose I'm just tired." The movie soon ended and the two of you decided to get something to eat. You then stopped at the local KFC. Yuji sat down while you went to order. You then returned to see him with a strange look on his face. "What's the matter?"

"I think I just saw my teacher? No wait, maybe it wasn't him? But then again who else has white hair in Tokyo? Anyway, I think this girl in blue robes dumped him or something? He just started crying. Look, he's still there!" You cast your gaze down the street. Itadori was right. There was a man sobbing on the ground while slamming his fist into the concrete. "SUGURU, WWWWHHHHHYYYYYYYY?????? PLEASE I NEED YOU!!"

You turned away. How embarrassing. You were just glad that he wasn't your date. "Hey, the foods getting cold. Let's eat!" The two of you then began to feed each other chicken tenders. You were so lovestruck that you failed to notice the burnt piece you had picked up. If anything it resembled a claw made out of hot dogs more than fried chicken. You put it to Yuji's lips and watched him swallow it whole.

Somethings wrong. Why was your date convulsing all of a sudden? "I swear if they gave you food poison!" You then noticed black markings appear on Itadori's skin. "What the hell-" You were then cut off before you could finish speaking. Literally. Next thing you knew, you were being cut apart into tiny meat cubes. Your date then took a slice of human meat, savoring the flavour. He then started tasting the blood on his fingers. "I guess that's why they call it finger licking good!"

[faircatch]

Probably my last one today about this. The video in the link is pretty quick and simple.

The rest is long - maybe rambling... just trying to put my thoughts down and I have a lot of them. Again, my few followers, I don't know if you'll read this... Sorry if you're tired of me talking about it... maybe I'll edit or delete it later... I'm hoping I'll feel better if I get this all out... But I'm so tired and frustrated. I get it if you don't read it.

This isn't to be trite about the issue... but I'm tired of being told the land of Israel is Palestine. That the people settling there took Palestine, which has always been there. It wasn't. History is clear on this. If people looked it up, they would see that. They would also see, Jews were always there. It was the land of Israel before it was Palestine.

But aside from that... let's say they are right (they aren't) for how long do we hold old borders? How far back are we all going to go? When do we all try to move forward rather than trying to go backwards? (this would be like all Americans leaving the United States and giving the land back to the Indigenous peoples - I'm sure people are going to be like, "YEAH!" but that's not logical or realistic. Like where are people going... And how far back do you 'go back where you came from'. Like, be serious).

Israel has given up land repeatedly and has offered more land for a two state solution and peace and been told no - repeatedly. Every ceasefire there is an attempt at peace. The ceasefires were always broken by the Palestinian leadership.

Since 2005, there have been NO Israelis or IDF in the state of Palestine. There is no occupying of Gaza. The infamous wall was put up because there were suicide bombers and attacks from Gaza and Israel wanted to defend itself better against those attacks.

Thousands of Palestinians work in Israel. Israel provides water and supplies to Gaza - even though it is under NO LEGAL OBLIGATION because this is suppose to be it's own country now. Palestinians elected Hamas as it's leaders and Hamas is worth millions if not more (money it gets from the international community, including America) and shares none of that money with Palestinians... who also have a majority that want to kill Jews and support Hamas. Hamas destroyed the water in Gaza and uses water pipes to build rockets. Hamas takes the fuel that is meant for the Palestinian people and uses it for the ventilation systems of their tunnels. (oh, those of you boycotting KFC, Hamas enjoys KFC too! There's photographic evidence that).

And Genocide? The population in Gaza has grown. Apparently Israel is terrible at genocide and ethnic cleansing if the population numbers have grown. If you look back at the history of wars where Arab countries attacked Israel, IF Israel wanted to destroy the Palestinians, they would have in any of those battles.

I won't even get into the apartheid thing because it's already proven that Arabs and Muslims live in Israel - can vote and work and own property and become citizens and Palestinians can come and go and work there.

But let's talk about today, because everyone seems to are over talking about Oct. 7th (over it because you didn't even land on it, didn't even touch it before you were cheering on the 'rebellion' which featured burning people alive and raping dead bodies). You gave us no time to mourn that, to recover by the way. We barely even understood the full horror of it before being told we had no right to condemn it.

You call for a ceasefire - because you don't want bloodshed. It's terrible. And it is. Death is no joke and isn't something to be celebrated (except perhaps by the rest of the world when it's Jewish babies, as we witnessed. Thanks for that by the way... but tell me again how you'll 'punch a Nazi' as you stand next to the person with the swastika).

Israel is doing the best it can to keep civilian deaths to a minimum while trying to remove Hamas. Hamas uses Palestinians as human shields. They don't care about civilians. So you're answer is for a ceasefire to stop the killing. So... Israel pulls back and Hamas attacks again. And again. And again. ANY other country would be within its rights to attack a country that is attacking them... Hamas is a terrorist organization and also the governing body (voted by Palestinians). Israel has the right to defend itself and to remove Hamas to keep its people safe. People want to shout that the attacks are a genocide right now... this is a war - a war Israel did not start and has been working hard for YEARS to stop and avoid since the British gave a tiny piece of land to Jewish people (Did you know that the Arabs were offered a bigger piece of land for their own country at the same time Israel was offered to Jews and they said "NO, we will remove the Jews and take it all", and the Mufti told the Arabs to leave the area because they were going to drive the Jews into the sea and the Arabs would have it ALL... Didn't work out that way. Also, "From the River to the Sea" is a throwback to the 'drive them into the sea' and calls for the genocide of Israel and Jews. Israel didn't kick out the Arabs - there are Arabs there now who will attest to this - the Arab League told them to leave in preparation for taking it all back.)

So what is Israel to do? If Israel said, "Okay, we will leave." Where should all the people go? Where can they go? Go back where they came from? (OH, fun fact... JEWS ARE NOW LIVING WHERE THEY CAME FROM, but let's play your game). In case you didn't know, not all the people who live in Israel are Ashkenazi, or European Jews! Not all who live in Israel are Jewish!

The Arabs and Arab Jews would be killed. No question.

The European Jews... well... have you seen the antisemitism going on? The airport in Russia? The marked houses in France? Yeah, that looks safe.

But let's say that's what happens. Israel is removed. Everyone moves... I don't know... somewhere... And everyone can be happy again... except no. Hamas still exists. And Hamas and ISIS and Houthis and all the rest of them want ALL Western culture destroyed. There are terrorist pockets all over the world. They are waiting. Once Israel is gone and the Jews are dead, they will come for you. Don't fool yourself.

They will kill Christians, Buddhists, Atheists, everyone in the LGBTQ+ community, Muslims who do not support them and everyone who is NOT them. And they will not weep over their own losses. They will throw bodies at everyone in their desire to remove all of us from the board. They are ready to do so now. Iran is building nuclear weapons and won't be afraid to use them...

No other Arab countries will take Palestinians and Hamas because they have been attacked by them. They don't want them. Jordan will not allow the refugees they have to be citizens. Egypt keeps them out. There is a reason. They know who these people are.

But they are playing a smart game. The terrorists don't make a move now because they don't want to draw attention from the situation in the Middle East. They have to use the propaganda of 'freedom fighters' and they laugh at all the people who march for them. Because they would stab each and every person that stood next to them. The war with the world has already begun and they have numbers.

As far as the hostages. I pray for them. I am afraid in my heart that Hamas will raise those babies and the children who are too small to remember who their parents were... raise them to be terrorists to kill their own people... brutally destroy their own family. And the Hamas terrorists will laugh.

The Western world has to understand, Hamas, ISIS, these terrorists... THEY. DON'T. THINK. LIKE. YOU. They don't have your moral code (whatever it is). They don't believe like you. They don't treasure human life. They even call themselves animals. Someone who rapes a dead body, is not looking for peaceful resolution. They have shown you who they are. Stop trying to impose American views and morals... European views and morals... That is not who they are. You call for a ceasefire because innocent blood is spilled and it upsets you. It doesn't upset Hamas or those Palestinians that support them. It's fodder. And they will keep killing and allowing people to be killed till they are stopped.

Fuck this is long.

Sorry... Just a lot in my head. I'm tired. I feel like I'm shouting into the wind. I have never been naive about the world and the safety of Jews within it - I never felt 100% safe. And the world has proven me right. The terrorists are all just waiting for their moment. But unlike 1945... it won't end with Jews... ISIS will come for the rest of you and like the Niemoller quote... there will be no one left to speak for you.

17, 20, 27 for the fanfic writers game 🥰

17. What's something you've learned about while doing research for a fic?

So many things!

Specifically for my Bleach fanfics, I learned about the naming conventions in Japan, the fact that most families liked to try and keep with a theme while naming their children. The fact that you don't name your children after deceased relatives. You also avoid naming them after still living relatives.

And the fact that you need to either also write down in Hiragana, or people won't know how to say your name, since Kanji isn't letters per se but concepts.

20. What's a favorite title for a fic you've written?

In terms of titles, I tend to be really happy and proud of all of them, but there's one I specifically like because it's supposed to be an joke too:

"Kurosaki Family Christmas (9 people and 3 Zanpakuto spirits)"

Because this is a nod to the "traditional" Japanese Christmas dinner... The KFC Christmas bucket!

Since Japan's two major religions are Shintoism and Buddhism, I wasn't exactly counting on Christmas traditions, but still.

It's just really funny to have some kind on in-joke in the title.

27. Is there a fic you were nervous to post/share? Why?

It's funny that I started my "career" in AO3 writing smut (for Star Wars EU... The old one) and then as I progressed through fandoms, I kind of dropped it.

Sure, I wrote some mature content for the LoGH fandom, but writing the "Surrender - part 2" for my "Bonds Of The Heart" was my first time writing smut for the Bleach fandom.

So, I was a bit nervous about publishing it and apprehensive about the reception.

But the comments were really nice so...

Besides, I changed from writing sex scenes that focus on the sex itself from ones who focus on the feelings of the characters throughout, so I'm never sure of people will appreciate that.

Thought I'd post this here. DADN has a rule against politics so I couldn't post it there. DADN is like the Jehovah's Witnesses to DADH's Mormonism when it comes to politics.

Anywho, it's both amusing and sad at the same time to watch all the hateful people on DA swarm and scramble because Donald Trump won the US elections for a second time. Like, I don't really care that much for Donald Trump (or any of the other candidates, except for RFK, but the Democrats ruined his ability to actually prevent their biggest fear from coming true, so whose fault is this really), but you can tell who is probably supposed to be your comrade or not based on who is saying what about Donald Trump being president again. In a world where the lives of Americans don't really change that much and where the lives of people in other countries certainly don't, you can count on DA of all places to make a mountain out of a molehill, emphasis on mountain because he was the president before and we didn't all die. I can tell from behind the scenes even the person this place calls Liar is running around like a chicken who realized that crossing the road would lead to a KFC.

Everybody, everybody... just relax. Take deep breaths. Did you think having a president so elderly that they had to replace him undemocratically mid-way through the campaigning process by an incredibly uncharismatic and face-turning woman who supports Israel over Palestine wasn't going to make the idea of Donald Trump's return seem appealing, especially considering she scared the third party candidates out of the race? Alas, life is not over. You're not going to die. Candidates get elected that some people don't like. It happens. And it's not like your town, city, and state officials didn't win. What? You don't live in a state, you say? Then why consider yourself in the camp of people who care? United States politics are for people who live in the states. Nobody from the United States is going to care who becomes, for instance, the prime minister of Japan. By caring so much, you all make yourselves look bad in the eyes of those who know how to use it as a litmus test.

What even is the official position of DADH?

As they say here, tell me all about it, my good friend. There is no official position. People can adhere to how they want and speak their mind as long as they're equal-opportunity. I voted third party and always do. "Vote with your heart" as they say.

[mongolian-in-paris-2024]

Week 1

My first week in Paris started off with me getting my accreditation and going to the NOC Service Center of the Olympic Village.

I waited in the rain for maybe an hour, but I guess it was my fault for not going to the right place for volunteer accreditation. Still got it end though.

I called Victoria, my supervisor, a couple of times before figuring out what I was supposed to be doing or where I was supposed to be going. Anyway, after about 2 hours of hassling about, I got into the village. At the time things were still being set up and a lot of the countries' delegation hadn't arrived yet so things were surprisingly calm. Damien gave the volunteers there a quick rundown of what we do and a tour of the village for us. (Thank you, Damien)

I quickly realized how much stuff I had to learn if I was going to be useful at the information desk. The NOC transport guide alone was over a 200 page pdf.

Here's how it looked on that day.

Tried some kebab as a small celebration because I love kebab back home.

Pretty good, but less sauce and vegetables than I was used to. The fries were great though.

There were some surprising things I noticed about Paris. The people really do place an importance on small talk (saying bonjour, merci, etc.) Otherwise you get kind of weird looks.

Cars actually stop for pedestrians, which was a surprise that led to awkward encounters when I would wait for a car to pass first, like I would in Mongolia, just for the car to wait for me to cross. Then I kind of had to do a half-run to show I respect their time.

And there were some things that reminded me of home. Like the fact they smoke anywhere outside or piss on the streets at night or jaywalk constantly. The jaywalking I understand since there's not much cars around in the first place and there's really no reason to wait for a car that's not there. But the smoking and the piss reminded me of my home city, Ulaanbaatar.

On Day 2, went to an E.Leclerc to buy some stuff to make sandwiches. The baguette there was ridiculously cheap, only 0.38 euro.

In general, the cheapest food I could get that wasn't from a supermarket was the 5 euro deals at fast food chains like McDonald's or KFC. Which mind you is still expensive for Mongolians. I kept thinking I could get 4 pirozhki or khuushuur or mantuun buuz for a little over 2 euro. And 2 of those things could easily hold you over till dinner.

Then on day 5, I went out to see the Eiffel tower, and Notre Dame de Paris. Got lost in the city center and actually enjoyed myself being lost. I'll be honest, I did not think the Eiffel tower was that big. I could still see it after going like 2 or 3 kilometers away from it. Got some of the better shots of the tower from those places since there weren't too many people there.

Notre Dame de Paris is my favorite musical (I must've watched and listened to it over a dozen times), so seeing the actual building was pretty special for me.

On day 6, I made cinnamon rolls and bought some more stuff for sandwiches. The cinnamon rolls didn't turn out great because apparently French salted butter is salted to high heaven. So instead of being a nice caramelized sweet roll, it became a salty bun.

Tried pain au chocolat and baguettes here for the first time as well. In the evening went out to a place for an international speaker meet-up. Met some friendly people there and ended up doing karaoke with them until midnight.

On day 7, came to my position late, couldn’t wake up that early (slept late like an idiot). Went to a chess café which I heard about from the night out before. Met an American dude that made music and was a chess coach. Got my ass handed to me by everyone, including him, but one person I did manage to beat. Played 3 minute games OVB (over the board) for the first time. Surprised myself with how I was managing my time decently.

The following is the general layout of the village. It really is like it's own little village with all its different service centers and its own public transport. The athletes were only allowed stay for the duration of them actually competing, so as the games continued the athletes changed. At some point the average height of the village increased because the basketball players came. Saw the American team there for a bit when they visited. Unfortunately not a huge fan of basketball so their presence was not as big a deal as maybe it should've been according to a few of my friends.

There was a Volunteer center, NOC center, Sports Information center, Fitness center, the different lodgings for the different countries' athletes. And that's not even mentioning the kitchens, dining halls, and recreational zones.

omg omg omg ur the best ily

this is a long one u better read it (plssssss read it)

sooooooooo they're literally the sad gay tragic bfs ever

omgg they "broke up" in front of kfc

broke up means suguru(the black hair) told satoru(white hair) that he wanted to kill all non sorcerers ( wayyy to lazy to explain that) and satoru was like "ermmmm" but satoru even tho he's stong enough to stop suguru, he let him go (all this happened in front of a building that was kfc) bc they were literally best friends before this(they were probably dating tbh)

so satoru lets suguru do whatever he wants for the next ten years and just bc he loves suguru he like ignores the fact that suguru starts a whole ass cult to kill all non-sorcerers

satoru was so obsessed with suguru omg it's so andjsjsjxhjwhw

example one: he calls suguru his "one and only" soooo gay tbh

example two: ermmm maybe the fact that he left suguru run his weird ass cult for years even tho he was supposed to stop him bc he was too in love

example three: satoru says "there's no curse more twisted than love" AND AGHHH WNDJDJJSJWJS suguru when he's dying suguru says "at least curse me a little at the very end" omg if u put these together is basically like suguru said "at least love me a little at the very end" and that's probably not intended but idc it means so much to me

ok this is important info for the next example: suguru is almost killed by one of satorus students, which was supposed to happen bc suguru was running a bad cult, and satoru saw suguru right before he died and really should have finished him off, but couldn't bc he's a idiot, so he left him there, as a result a curse took over suguru brain and body right before he died

ex 4: satoru is basically the strongest person in the story and the curse that took over sugurus brain was evil and wanted to trap satoru , since satoru is the only person who could have stopped him and the other main antagonist, so instead he found a way to trap satoru with this magic box thing and literally the only only reason satoru stood still long enough for him to be trapped by this magical box this is bc the curse that took over sugurus brain was in his body, satoru was so shocked that suguru was alive (even tho it wasn't really suguru it was the curse that took over sugurus brain) that he froze for enough time for the curse to trap him, suguru is the only thing that could have made him stop long enough to make him trapped, and it worked

ex 5: when satoru was like trapped, he said to suguru "my 6 eyes tell me ur suguru geto, but my soul knows otherwise" even tho physically suguru looked the same, satoru could tell that it wasnt him, and he was right since it was really the curse that took his brain not actually his suguru

thank u for coming to my ted talk

now every time i see kfc i cry

大家好! Once in awhile, Pa asks me to share ice cream and waffles with him, so I took him to a Taipei-inspired cafe which serves waffles made with dark chocolate and chocolate ice cream. As we ate, we discussed current affairs, the war in Gaza and what the global community feels about it. Most countries have been alarmed by the soaring death toll and repeatedly called for a permanent ceasefire. The videos and news reports in this post speak for themselves and show how the rest of the world feels.

Israel is ramping up flows of humanitarian aid into Gaza but efforts have been bumpy. The WCK has begun distributing hot meals of stew and rice to starving Palestinians. On the other hand, aid convoys from Jordan were attacked by Israeli settlers. This resulted in aid convoys having to dump some of their cargo, including food, flour and other critical supplies, meaning, there's less for those in Gaza who desperately need them. Still, it's a start and a bumpy start is better than nothing. We're following this news closely for improvements to humanitarian aid deliveries into the devastated area and whether there're any more Israeli attacks.

What we're watching even more closely - what appear to be the start of Israeli incursions into Rafah. Already, innocent children have died as a result. Wasn't Israel supposed to evacuate the Palestinians safely before commencing any attack? Why is the US silent about it and why is it continuing to arm Israel when it claimed to be against any attacks on Rafah? Not sorry, I find the Biden administration duplicitous when it repeatedly says one thing and does another. At this point, many of its actions don't match up to its words and it makes the US look like it doesn't walk the talk at all.

Wednesday was a public holiday and Pa wanted to have lunch together. We visited a Japanese restaurant we hadn't been to. Their specialty is fish, so Pa ordered grilled seabream with rice, miso soup, edamame, wakame and pickles and I chose tonkotsu udon. He finished the entire fish! 😮 I prefer udon to ramen, so the noodles were perfect - highly slurpable and QQ. The lightly salted, milky collagen-filled broth was also good. The pork, whilst yummy, was a tad fatty, but the overall dish was pretty tasty. After that, we washed everything down with local tea for Pa and local coffee for me.

The global community has been calling for a permanent ceasefire and two-state solution for some time. The parties standing in the way of peace are Israel and countries which continue to arm it. If other nations choose to act on their anger and displeasure, they're only doing so to make their voices heard. A multipolar world is forming even more quickly the more they feel oppressed. And you know what? About bloody time. 下次见!

Cancelled Episode 7 "Wordless"

"Yo mama so fat, she has to go out of her house just to eat KFC cos she's too fat for the house!"

-yo mama jokes series

Well, Nemean's not stupid. Surely he must have left some sort of clue, right? Right? RIGHT?

I snarl at the filthy half-blood again. "That can't seriously be the end, can it?"

And to that all he does is just smile some more. "Yes, it is, what's wrong now? At a loss?"

He's quite the interesting pawn, I'll admit. Although, such...useful pawns are of no use to me till I know their weaknesses...and right now, he's well aware of mine...

"Well, me and that disfigured guy sure are at a loss now. Our fates are sealed as convicts, oh, whatever shall we do!" I mimic a woeful voice and do the classic "girl about to faint" motion. Mocking, even.

"Well, you're quite one to talk about his deformity. Aren't you quite the burnt chap yourself?"

Oh, and for a second there I almost forgot about my own shortcomings. Yes yes yes, my ugly, burnt, disgusting face is all you see. Not the personaliy in the body of the disgusting face, but merely the disgusting face, that's it, that's all you see. Funny how that would strike so close to home in the eyes of...maybe a judge of a court of law.

"Oh, that's all? Well, I'd have thought you'd want to record more for the sake of...solid, concrete evidence. Now what happened to all that chivalry?"

At this point I'll have to assume that he didn't hide a code at all in the recording, since I'm not able to pick up on any anyway...

Next stop: language dissection itself.

From the way he references things in his own perspective...he refers to Master as the one with the deformed face. Then he refers to me as "the girl who was caught with me".

Does he want us to play the oppresed underlings of the big evil gang master? But he'll have no idea how I'm supposed to react...and how Master would react...and I'll admit, he's not exactly the...sharpest knife in the shed when it comes to reading the room...and, of course, there's always the classic example of comtradicting their own statements...and then we also have to make it look like we're ratting each other out...

But then...we don't have a choice, do we? But I'll have to be careful not to explicitly say it...

I inhale a deep breath and begin my statement.

"What he said was true, although our stupid leader had never told us what kind of information he wanted from him. He had only told us that he wanted us to bring him back, and it was THAT BITCH that decided that bringing him back alone was too generous, and we needed to knock him out first. So I went along, and then you came in...lemme tell you, when I say those two are complete imbeciles, I mean it, alright..."

And to that, Mr. filthy half-blood just did another big smile-smirk. "Well, that was easy, wasn't it? Couldn't have done it so much earlier, could've saved me so much more time..."

And then he extracted the recording and left the room.

Well, I think as I sit back in my seat and relax a while, in a short while he'll be verifying all our statements and checking if they all match together.

And then also in a short while, it's either instant death or a free release for us.

Well, Rich and Powerful Opression 101, ride or die, right?

[two-sides-samecoin]

Different anon but I have to get this off my chest. People also claim Steve wasn't supportive because he was annoyed with them going to Barb's parents every week. I think it's kinda unfair to blame him for that. As it's established Steve deals with trauma by pretending everything is okay. Imagine visiting the parents of the girl who died in your pool every week?? It's so stressful to be reminded every week, those people search for their daughter that died in his place. Like if Nancy's allowed to be traumatised why isn't Steve? Plus he was also stressed with school at that time, him being not 100% happy in that situation and missing a week or so is okay and doesn't show he's dismissive of Nancy's trauma. He goes with her in the end, he could just leave her alone but he didn't because he cares. It's also unfair that the show and the fandom pretend he didn't have any trauma from the year prior, only Nancy just because she was friends with Barb. It still happened in Steve's house!!! And it's not like Steve didn't face the monster, he saved both Nancy's and Jonathan's ass even though he was terrified. He had to see how his gf almost died before he could step in, like give him some grace.

so glad you got this off your chest and glad that you decided to send it to me :)

okay so that claim that other people have that you mentioned is completely ridiculous! it’s an awkward situation to even begin with and it’s wild to me because he also is like ‘these dinners never go well’ and he sees how nancy has been reacting to these dinners. everyone in that room is traumatized because of barb’s death but they’re traumatized in different ways. and everyone is only there because of the trauma! also steve can heavily see what it’s doing to the Holland’s as he’s the one to soothe them about the choice of dinner by saying he loves KFC. it’s not harmful or anything - he’s just trying to make a situation less awkward. steve is just realizing that these dinners are not helping any of them even though the dinners are supposed to be them showing their support in a trying time. instead it’s just completely awkward and they’re clashing with one another and they have nothing to talk about.

also like you mentioned he was stressed with school specifically an essay that means a fuck ton in his career. it’s the essay to send to colleges - that essay is mandatory as fuck and the deadline was the next day. which i don’t like when people judge him for that because everyone has procrastinated in their lives yes even the smart people have heavily procrastinated. so steve has even more reason to just be upset about the one diner when his own life is heavily dependent on something. like you said rushing a week is fine because also the way in which nancy and steve seem to talk, it seems like they’ve gone to the Hollands for dinner a lot before! and i get that it’s nancy’s guilt here but i think steve sees how this is damaging everyone but he doesn’t want to say it because then nancy would be upset at him. and also that whole pretending everything’s normal like you mentioned. i hate how people see this as steve being dismissive when he’s just being observant and trying to make things less awkward then they already are. he’s also not being dismissive because despite him wanting to pretend to be normal - he is seeing how the act of going to the Hollands is harming both nancy and the hollands.

you are so right about the unfair part! like god i get so pissed whenever writers and fandom just ignore steve’s trauma. or when fandom acknowledges steve’s trauma but then say that because he wasn’t in it as long as the other characters: he isn’t as traumatized. it’s just what? why do people feel the need to say that? he’s still heavily traumatized no matter what ! it’s just a huge slap in the face cuz it just feels like ‘oh steve is traumatized but not as bad as the others’ - trauma is still trauma! like why are we having a ‘who’s more traumatized’ competition?

Angst of the day: (By angst anon :3)

In chapter 78, during the KFC breakup, Geto's reply to Gojo saying there was barely a reason enough for killing even his parents, his reply is "It wouldn't be fair if I made an exemption for my parents, would it?"

But the part that got me while I was rereading was this:

"Besides, my family now consists of more than just them."

Suguru has already deemed Mimiko and Nanako as family right after he saved them.

Geto actually has a really interesting dynamic when it comes to his views on (found) family. I've been meaning to talk about it for a while but I always seem to lose brain function when trying to analyze Geto as a character.

That being said, Geto's views toward building a family of your own are a consistent part of his character, even going back to his teen years.

With Riko, his motive isn't just letting her enjoy the time that she has left --like Gojo (later) wants-- but that she enjoys that time with the people that she cares about, with the people that she's chosen to be the family that she lost when she was young.

He also weaponizes the importance of found family when he's fighting the Curse User at Riko's school by "reuniting" him with his childhood dog --his chosen family-- to make him vulnerable.

And later --after Kuroi is taken-- he feels responsible for Riko losing out on the precious time that she has with Kuroi because he wasn't there to protect her. For him, their mission wasn't just about protecting Riko, but protecting her happiness and the people that she cared about.

That's why we get this moment right before the merger is supposed to happen. Riko's future isn't being Tengen's vessel, not if she doesn't want it, not if it means leaving behind the people that she loves and the life that she could have lived.

Geto genuinely doesn't want Riko to go through with the merger. He feels bad that he's leading her this far, that he's asking her to say goodbye to Kuroi, that his job is to take her away from her family. And we see that so plainly on his face; that heartache for what Riko is going to lose, that guilt over being responsible for severing a bond that we've seen means a lot to him.

And when he gives Riko a way out, he puts Kuroi at the forefront of why she should turn away from the future that Jujutsu society expects of her. He isn't just offering to take her home, he's offering to reuinite her with the family that she thought she was going to lose.

Fast forward to the end of Vol 0 and Geto's first concern when he sees Gojo isn't for himself or his plan, but for his family and their safety. The fact that he's going to die, the fact that he failed to realize the future that he wanted, none of it means anything if he loses them along the way.

That being said, I do have to wonder how Geto came to be someone that puts so much importance on chosen families from such a relatively early age; especially when he doesn't seem to hold the same regard for his own parents. I've touched on it before in a more speculative post (read: here & here) but I'd love to know what Geto's childhood was like and whether or not this preference toward found family was due to his relationship --or possible lack thereof-- with his own.

[justzawe]

"Nobody said she’s preg. Where is that even coming from?" A couple of days ago KFC got an ask saying "Gonna laugh my ass off when Zawe ends up pregnant and married to Tom , you haters can seethe all together on your hater blogs. I can't wait til it goes down to watch the oh so predictable reactions." So she told her sheep that of course that ask came from one of your anons or Saney's - but I suspect the person who sent it was one of the haters or even KFC herself, since it gave her the excuse to hate on us and talk shit about Zawe again. Then they started laughing at us shippers for thinking that they're married and Zawe's pregnant, although that wasn't even what the "supposed shipper" anon was saying.... But you know, reading/listening comprehension is not their forte 😬

Lol I can’t see my followers sending her shit like that. I agree, that it was probably an excuse to talk shit again.

Anyways, we think they MIGHT get married one day,.....just like you would assume any couple would that’s in a serious relationship might. And once again, nobody said she’s pregnant.

Sappy, Crappy and Clean-shaven

I've had a busy day going to therapy and getting things done after postponing them for too long, and I'm therefore writing my GMM commentary a little later than usual. And, I had to listen to the new Ear Biscuit before logging in, just in case of spoilers of any kind. Since the Biscuits are currently a heavier in theme, I'll try to stay on a lighter and shorter side with this post. We'll see how that goes!

The last time I went to a McDonald's as a paying customer was around 1995. After that, I ordered myself a McMurder t-shirt, and it was very much off-brand for me to go there - besides, they didn't have any veggie options, until quite recently. We also don't have KFC or Wendy's here, and although Burger King is advertising their vegan whopper on every street corner at the moment, I haven't really felt a compelling need to try it. From this perspective, I can't really say anything about the fast food items Rhett and Link consumed today.

With the rate the guys are eating everything put in front of their mouths, they are going to be stuffed before this game is over. Rhett's appetite never fails to amaze me. I wonder if he's ever accidentally bit his own fingers? But synchronized eating is my favourite sport:

I wish Rhett wasn't just biting into his breakfast sandwich when Stevie said they should decide which sausage is better on their own time. He responds with a snort, but it's really muffled by the sausage in his mouth (think before you write moment here, but let's move on).

This is not an easy game. I'm a bit of an pickle conoisseur, but sliced inside a burger, I would not pay any attention to that part. I'd probably know if it's missing, but that's it. Also, what is the McDonald's fancy lettuce? And why is this sideview of Rhett biying into his chicken burger so aesthetically pleasing?

Okay, I don't know if there is any actual educated guessing knvolved in this game, but it appears like Rhett is winning, despite Link really doing a deep analysis on the dipping sauces. I would not be able to just lick a french fry (I realized I've never used the singular form, but fries...fry, right?) without eating it. I also can't look this sophisticated eating fast food, even if I really tried. I love how Link acknowledges they are divas - the two boys from a small town, eating fries like it was caviar.

I can't remember ever getting a Happy meal with a toy at McDonald's as a kid, but for what I remember, the toys were not that cool. I know I'm supposed to be a grown-up now, but I love those dinosaurs. I'm not so sure about the dinocentipede Link created, though. And actually, why weren't the dknosaurs made to scale? I know T-Rexes had small brains and all that, but that is not anatomically correct.

It's amazing how low quality some of the toys are. I'd be really bummed if my 7 dwarfs were twice the size of Snow white, and a Furby without the talking part is really just an ugly doll. And really, that game with the rings and hands thing is lame even for a "free" toy.

My absolute favourite thing about GMMore was Rhett and Link trying to remember the names of the seven dwarfs. Scrappy, Dopey, Oldie, Grumpy, Happy, Musician, Loopey, Sappy, Leader, Beardy, Clean-shaven, Crappy, Nappy...but I agree, Bashful is an odd choice. I want Link's version of the dwarfs be the next remake of the story.
