#Zenith of stars

[yuesya]

I think its hilarious how both Shiki and Satoru view the other as the nice and 'good-natured' one, while everyone else is like ??? No ??? You're both insane ???

But it makes perfect sense, doesn't it?? xD

A quick draw of Shiki from Zenith of Stars by @yuesya! As always yuesya have a wonderful mind and writing that I always fall in love with her oc uwu. ヾ⁠(⁠˙⁠❥⁠˙⁠)⁠ﾉ

Tbh I drew in mind trying to depict Shiki who looks kinda normal but not at the same time to find the border of otherworldli-ness? Her face looks a teeny bit too delicate for what I was aiming for. So im telling myself that "she is wearing makeup!" Im actually not sure if I managed to draw Shiki or not?

Im not sure if Yuesya had explained Shiki's looks before and I had missed it hehe.

[No Spoilers] wip for the Obon scene in the Jujutsu Kaisen fanfic Zenith of the Stars by @yuesya

Please if I got any detail wrong tell me ahahahah. I’d like some feedback before rendering. Shiki’s Obi is dark saturated blue and the fastening cloth over it is white.

I also asked in the fanfic comments earlier if Shiki’s ME looks more like Ryougi’s or Tohno’s but I haven’t gotten a reply yet (‘>.<) it would be helpful if you could answer that too.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

The Honored, The Blessed, The Righteous.

Throughout heaven and earth, he alone is the honored one.

Snow white hair, iridescent ocean-like eyes, otherworldly, mystical. Such power bestowed upon a mortal babe, the birth shakens the balance. Snow white hair, cursed blue eyes, distant, detached. A god amongst men. Such favor of the heavens, bestowed upon a mortal man. Throughout heaven and earth, he alone is the honored one.

She is the blessed child.

Snow white hair, iridescent night-like eyes, otherworldly, mystical. Such power bestowed upon a mortal child. Through death, the power awakens. Snow white hair, cursed blue eyes, distant, a killer's instinct. A godling amongst men. Such favor from death bestowed upon a mortal child. She is the blessed child.

He is the righteous.

Coal black hair, sharp eyes, kind yet something lurks within. Spirits follow his command, yet such power comes with a price. With voices haunting his mind, he struggles with his morals as time passes by. Coal black hair, cursed mind, gripping tightly at the last strands of sanity. A mortal amongst gods. Such power comes with a price. He is the righteous(?).

The honored and the righteous, together they are the strongest of the strong. They are two of the pillars of their society. Numerous trials they faced and triumphed, they laugh. They say, "For only a fool would challenge the strongest."

And a fool did challenge them, a fool who triumphed over the honored and the righteous. A mortal man who possess not power but strength. The honored received a blessing while the righteous received a curse. Two sides of a coin.

A tragedy happened. One mission, one girl, the honored, the righteous, the blessed. It was supposed to be easy until it wasn't.

They all experienced happiness, joy before disaster struck. The honored, the blessed, a teenage boy, a young girl, almost stabbed to death by a fool. They almost died. Almost but close.

A mortal man. A fool.

They failed. The girl is dead. The mission is over.

The righteous starts to doubt their cause. He asks the blessed, "If there was a choice, is this still your path?" The blessed answers, "Yes, it is inevitable." The righteous sees why. He nods and bids farewell. The blessed feels another tragedy forming. She stays silent, pondering.

The righteous' thoughts turn for the worst as his guilt fuels the voices. Why must they fight for the weak, if the weak disregards them? Those weak— those monkeys don't deserve their sacrifices. One mission, two girls, the righteous(?).

He witness what they had done. Those poor girls. Sweet, innocent girls treated worse than dirt. He snaps. A massacre, two little girls, the traitor.

His crimes unearthed, they demand execution. The honored feels disbelief and deny, deny, deny. The blessed feels disbelief and asks why, why, why?  They felt betrayed in a way. Before the righteous—the traitor, his mind whispers— left, he asks the honored. "Are you the strongest because you are the honored or are you the honored because you are the strongest?" The honored is silent.

The blessed asks the honored why, but the honored doesn't even know anymore.

The honored is bitter at the betrayal yet he admits to the blessed quietly, "I can't save those who don't want to be saved." The blessed nods and understands.

This is inspired by the fic, Zenith of Stars by Yuesya on Ao3. This fic is literally one of my favs🩷🩷

[kirara12345]

It takes less than a second for Shiki to pull out her hairpin and twirl it in her hands; in the next, she raises her arm and slashes cleanly through the curse.

[sitmn]

Just a quick sketch of what I imagine Shiki to look like 👀

[akirawarrior]

Ok this thought just popped into my head and I had to share it, but the reveal of Shiki's cursed technique being nothing honestly puts a kind of sick irony on Kamo Matsuhime's actions. Like even if she had succeeded and transplanted Shiki's technique, her son still would have been nothing in the eyes of the JuJustu world, and it would have all been for naught.

[yuesya]

I have a question, in the last chapter Shiki says that her type is someone that can defeat her in a fight. However she seems to arrive at that conclusion from thinking that someone scared from her would be uninteresting and that someone stronger than her wouldn't be scared. Then it seems her type would be "someone not scared of me"? Maybe it is the influence of the AUs but Yuzuki was most certainly not stronger than her, but he wasn't uninteresting or scared of her, and I think they would have made a good couple.

Is that truly her type?, is this another case of Shiki not truly understanding her feelings? Or is there some more Shiki logic I missed?

Bit of a long answer here haha.

So, Shiki's 'type.' It's not exactly 'someone who's literally more powerful and therefore wouldn't be scared of her.' True, Shiki would not be interested in a partner who fears her. But her answer here is less an indication of her preference being 'someone unafraid' and more 'someone she finds interesting' instead. (Also, preferably someone who won't die easily. There's also that, for uh... various reasons.)

Keep in mind: Shiki's worldview is a little skewed. Even putting aside the whole 'lines of death' thing going on, Shiki's way of categorizing and making sense of the world around her is actually more or less based on using strength as a measurement.

So, normally when you encounter someone, you'd assess them on things like personality, social status, relationships to people around you. However, what underpins Shiki's first assessment of people is their potential combat strength.

It's not that she looks down on and mocks those who are weaker, but it's just... basically part of how she functions. Her parents were killed when she was young; Shiki lacked the strength to stop it. Her abilities dictated that she needed to be brought into a sorcery clan and trained accordingly; Shiki needs the strength to fight curses. Her uncle is worried about her and there are dangerous enemies surrounding her; Shiki needs the strength to overcome adversity.

Shiki doesn't need a partner who understands her, but the partner needs to be someone who Shiki understands, and what Shiki understands best is strength. She's aware of this on some subconscious level -as reflected in the answer to Tsukumo.

Anyways.

Aside from dissecting Shiki's profile here, something else that I think bears keeping in mind that a type is just that: A type. A person might have a type, but eventually end up romantically engaged with someone who is not their type. (Or at least, not their original professed type -maybe there are other qualities that grew on them throughout the relationship. Maybe they still stick to their original type, but the partner in question is an exception that they're willing to make.)

... Feelings are complicated haha. Shiki already has enough trouble navigating and expressing regular emotions; good luck tackling romance.
