I think JJK going on break after the last chapter is a bit cruel. This is nerve-wracking. We still have 3 chapters left and so many things can happen there. 268 feels too good to be true and the title is weird.
I'm not sure what is the right translation and I don't have access to raws. Right now, it's 268 title is "Finale" or "Conclusion" but I heard from someone that it can be also be read as "Curtains".
If it can be read as "Curtains", then it could be a reference to "final curtains". The problem is JJK has its own version of "Curtains", right? Idk what to think.
Gosh I wish it was “Curtains”. The chapter title is 決着 (Kecchaku) which means settlement/conclusion/end.
For example, at the end of an extremely brutal fight in Jojo's Bizarre Adventure, Jolyne screams “Kechakuuuuuuu!” (決着ゥゥーーーッ!!) (It's actually a small Jojo meme in the JP fandom.) This got translated as "Game set!"
I love the localization they used for this since that entire battle was like struggling in arcade mode for a fighting game.
Anyways, in the context of JJK, especially since this has been a literal Sukuna Gauntlet and the previous chapter had the “Ringing the bell on a long fight.” editor’s comment, I don’t think there’s an ambiguous way to read Kecchaku. The Curtain/Veil kanji in JJK is 帳 (Tobari). (Though if there’s some fancy wordplay I’m missing please let me know.)
However…I would kneel before Gege if this was an elaborate trick by Sukuna—him giving Yuji delusions of a happy ending only to yank it away last second. It’s very hard to make characters feel familiar but slightly off on purpose for misdirection. That kind of tonal control is something I praise Umineko for. (Dungeon Meshi does it excellently for the shapeshifter scene.)
But that is pure copium I think. Sometimes otherwise good media just fumbles the endings. (Not an example of good media, but I was around for the Secret BBC Sherlock Season 4 Ending meltdown so I’m not too hopeful about a turnaround.) I personally blame the JP work culture/crunch since a lot of modern mangas have rushed endings due to burnout/unfair contracts.
I think the most heartbreaking examples of this phenomenon for me are The Owl House and Moral Orel. Those shows still stick the landing imo, but the creators are very open about how studio interference forced them to condense everything. You can feel that suffocation in the final episodes. Everything is just slightly off and you know it would be better if the creators were allowed their breathing room.

🩸BRAM STOKER’S DRACULA (1992)🩸
Not a favorite Dracula movie of mine by any means, but a must-watch movie for a lot of non-Dracula related reasons. This movie is an absolute visual treat, the sets and costumes are stunning throughout, and is filled with excellent actors including Gary Oldman as Dracula and Anthony Hopkins as Van Helsing. It really isn’t a horrible adaptation either as it follows the sequence of events in the books fairly accurately, and features narration from the characters in the style of diary entries which I really enjoy as a reference to the epistolary structure of the original novel. This move is also one of the rare few that features the entire cast supporting characters, however I have mixed feelings about their portrayal, particularly Mina Harker’s odd romance with Dracula (another dead-ringer reincarnated wife romance subplot—completely uninspired) which I find to be a distasteful treatment of her character even with her original personality still being somewhat intact in other ways. Ultimately this movie is worthwhile only if I don't actually think of it as a Dracula movie haha.
My favorite scene in this, which I based my little illustration off of, is when Dracula’s shadow is moving behind Jonathan, I love the way it starts out subtle enough that you might not be sure you’re seeing it right, gradually getting more out of sync up to the moment it begins moving completely independent of him. I think it’s brilliant.
Anyway, happy Halloween everyone, and I hope you’ve enjoyed both my artwork and my movie chatter this month :)

[ID: An image of Keralis' minecraft skin over the JWST's deep space photo. He is to the left of the image and facing right, tilted at a slight angle. There's another, larger image of Keralis' minecraft skin over nearly the entire image, mostly showing his face and part of his torso, and at even more of an angle. He's facing the opposite way of the original Keralis and his opacity has been lowered a bit so that the original Keralis and the JSWT photo behind him are visible. There's text at the bottom of the image, reading "so long" in a small font and "space cowboy" in a much larger cursive font. All text is in entirely lowercase. /End ID.]
so i heard that ehk's ending soon
(for @mawofthemagnetar's fic series Eldritch Horror Keralis, which you should definitely read btw)

GRIMACE SHAKE RECIPE
i am SICK and TIRED of all these recipes online that aren't even trying, like yes of Course it will be *tasty* but raspberries blueberries and vanilla ice cream will Not taste like The Grimace Shake it will taste like a Froot Smoothie
when i tried the mcdicks version, the two flavors that immediately stood out insanely clearly to me were:
creamsicle ... and berry cap'n crunch
i was 94% sure i was riight, but didn't have a chance to test that theory ... until today >:3
that's all for my yappin here's that recipe! ingredients:
berry cap'n crunch cereal (we didn't have the 'oops all berries' it had regular mixed in, i just picked out the berry ones). blend or crush as finely as you can!
orange creamsicles
additional vanilla ice cream
milk (as needed to thin mixture)
optional black raspberry ice cream (for additional fruitiness if desired, purple colour also!)
optional whipped cream (topping)
i've only tried this once and it tasted too strongly of the cereal so i used too much of that, and i don't have exact measurements(sorry, if i try again and get closer i'll keep track and update!), but this go i did the following:
put approx 1 cup of berry crunch in blender and mix to break apart
add 3 creamsicles (minus sticks), and milk as needed, blend together
optional taste test
add 2 large scoops of ice cream, vanilla or black raspberry, depending what you have and/or how fruity the current mixture tastes, blend (add more milk if needed)
pour into cups and add whipped cream on top :3
it made about~ two good sized cupfuls, we split it in three unevenly so i'm not 100% sure lol. if you let the ice cream/creamsicles melt enough to be mixable by hand and went to absolute town on the cereal you could probably make this without a blender!
anyway go be free summon grimace and ik they dont have these anymore but dont give those clowns any money

also while i'm on the fandom thought-train: is andre (blond liberty spikes raver in the drug tent/church dance club) a narc
because he seems like a narc
(spoiler-y evidence gathered below)
-he's significantly older than the other anodic dance music group (skill check points out that he's balding & if you ask his age he says he's "not twenty")
-constantly sucks up to harry like he doesn't want to get on his bad side (because he is himself an undercover cop who doesn't want to complicate his operation?)
-just breezily reveals that yes it's going to actually be a drug lab & yes they'll stop now officer since you asked so nicely--wants to throw you, fellow/rival officer, off his operation
-can't dance
-seriously, he's starting a club for anodic music--a dance club for anodic music--and he can't dance? ඞ
-talks like...that
-kim never directly interacts with him (that i've seen)--possibly he'd recognize another juvenile division undercover officer if he did???

if you have some old (cooked) rice that's still good but just incredibly dry/hard/not fresh, moisten a thick paper towel with a little bit of water and put it over the rice while you heat it up in the microwave. it'll be as good as new 🫡
alternatively if you wanna make it fun, pour a tiny bit of olive oil in a pan, drop the rice there and mix in some of your favorite spices (and maybe veggies and meat tho i haven't tried doing it with those so do it at your own risk). make a little hole in the middle and pour in a little bit of boiling water, then mix it a little bit. put a lid over to freshen and soften it up. remove the lid and repeat the water process but this time leave the lid off and let it cook on medium-high heat for a few minutes to get the bottom of the pan crunchy but not burnt
[send me a ? and i'll tell you something random]
