Obsessed with the idea of Megumi coming out of the whole Shinjuku thing without scars...and being miserable because of it.

I just have this image in my head of him looking at himself in the mirror and feeling like...dysphoric about it, outwardly he still looks like the kid of a few months ago, the one that still had hope for his sister, the one without her blood on his hands, the one that had never felt what having his body stolen from him felt like.

And yet, Megumi will never be that person again, he will never see himself, or the world around him the same way again. That boy in the mirror is not him, he looks nothing like Megumi feels, that youthful face doesn't represent the misery Megumi has endured, the way he feels as if he has lived a hundred years already, the innocence in his features despite the blood on his hands made him want to puke, and the lack of any sort of scars felt like a mockery, despite everything he had been through, the face in the mirror could be mistaken by someone that had never been harmed before, someone ignorant of the cruelty of the world, the face in the mirror failed to reflect everything Megumi has endured. That is, except for the eyes.

There was no light in them, not a trace of hope or will to exist. And while the rest of his face felt insultingly flawless, his soulless eyes never allowed him to fall for the illusion, to forget what Megumi really was, an empty husk of a person. Nothing like someone that deserved to be saved.

And it was as he looked at the way too young, yet still haunted face in the mirror, at the same face of the naive kid that, despite considering himself a realist, was still foolish enough to hope that the world would give him a break, that he started to feel something, he felt...anger. Anger, resentment, and hate for the boy in the mirror, feelings so strong, that he started to shake because of them.

In the end, Megumi couldn't handle looking at that face any longer, and without thinking about what he was really doing, he smashed his hand against the glass, shattering it.

Finally, is as he looks in what's left of the mirror, with Megumi's reflection looking broken due to the cracks, that he finally feels satisfied with how it looks. As the shattered face in it finally represents him.

(In the end, Megumi does get those scars. And he sees them not in the mirror, but everytime he looks at his own hand)

#anyways that's the idea #for the record i wouldn't mind if Megumi DID get scars. i usually really like it when my faves get scars #both becuse of the representation of everything they've endured and also cause they look cool #but i had this idea and wanted to share it #plus i think it fits with the idea of how Megumi is “blessed” but also his life sucks #he has the best sister ever but she dies way too young+he is an orphan #he gets a cool technique but it's so cool that he gets his body stolen because of it #he is able to nerf sukuna to save his friends but in retaliation sukuna makes him kill his sister to make sure he losses his will to live #he has no physical scars despite his line of work but who cares because he endured more in a month than most people their whole lives #you know what i mean?#once again im cool with him getting scars. he looks very good in the fanart I've seen #I'm just in love with the scenario in my head. tbh i don't think i did it justice but whatever #megumi fushiguro #jjk megumi #jjk #jjk manga #jjk manga spoilers #jujutsu kaisen #mine

It's in the eye of the beholder

#comic #birds #my art #I've had this idea for a while #after a lecture that talked about how traits we consider cute are traits found in babies #I feel like birds would have a very different definition of cute from us #anyway after making the bird tutorial I feel the pressure to draw perfect bird anatomy #but tbh I still just wing it a lot of the time!!#hehe “wing it”

What’s up with how the dunmeshi fandom just lies about this kind of stuff all the time. It is easily confirmable information that it was a monthly series, something incredibly common in the industry.

A not weekly magazine schedule is literally common !! Especially in the seinen shoujo and josei demographics, sometimes monthly, sometimes biweekly, sometimes every two months, sometimes seasonal! Please stop lying about how Dunmeshi was some special unique creation that defies all standards of manga just to hype it up because it is so clear that every single one of these comparisons is centered around Weekly Shonen Jump (and understand that SJ has many magazines under its brand that are monthly or semimonthly). Not everything is WSJ and it needs to stop being the only point of reference in conversations like this 🤧

#sorry im having a moment.#kris actually talks #I can elaborate more on this bc I’m a nerd but like #I hope this doesn’t come off as disagreeing with the idea of moving more magazines off weekly schedules #but maybe let’s not lie ??? and act like tons of series including popular ones aren’t already in monthly ones #dungeon meshi #delicious in dungeon #adding the tag also now that it’s going around anyways. hi guys.#sorry for not including alt text originally I was not expecting reblogs but I have added it now o7 #blah blah check reblogs with comments for additional thoughts from me if you care etc etc

If my mom sees a significant amount of blood she gets lightheaded, and has fainted on some occasions. Once it happened when we were kids, I wasn't there to witness it but I heard the story from my dad. Basically my brothers, around 7 or 8 at the time, were playing outside while my mom was making their lunch, and she accidentally cut her finger. It wasn't anything serious, but it drew a fair bit of blood and she passed out. My dad saw this and rushed over, but he didn't really know what to do so he just sort of started slapping her to wake her up (not recommended, but he had no idea and panicked)

At that exact moment my brothers both came in from playing, and all they saw was our mom unconscious on the floor and our dad slapping her. So, like, without even saying a word to each other they both just INSTANTLY start whaling on him, like, full blown attack mode to defend our mom. Which obviously didn't help the situation, but she did wake up and everything was fine.

Now our dad says that he's actually really glad they attacked him over what they thought was going on, because it means he raised good boys. And I still think that's true, they're very good boys.

#i think about this story sometimes like yeah I'm proud of them for that too actually. good job baby brothers #they're not babies anymore of course they're turning 20 next year which is crazy #but they're still the type of people who'd do something if they saw something of this sort happen for sure #respectful of women and everyone else too. they're good guys #I'm glad I ended up with them living in my house against my will for like 14 years #anyway i have no idea where i was for all this but my best guess is probably a friends house given the time period #i was always at my besties house lol #i hope she's doing well too actually. haven't spoken in forever...#bestie from greek elementary school... if you're out there... let's get muffins and fanta at the bakery across the street again someday 💜☮️
