#even gojo's “dream” is an extension of gojo's selfless love for geto (in life)

[virgobingo]

i think gojo's love is complex bc.. in life, as an adult, he ultimately lets geto go.

he allowed geto to walk free for ten years and form his own family. to basically seek happiness elsewhere.

only in their last moments, does he find out geto was still unhappy without him. despite this, gojo's careful not to cling and curse geto to stay with him.

and even after putting him out of his misery, gojo still doesn't grant himself permission to mourn him. bc he most likely handed over geto's body to his family (the people who have been by his side the longest) out of consideration. but even this ultimately comes back to bite him.

in life— gojo has only ever tried to be selfless and nonattached with his love towards geto and yet... this path has only caused him suffering.

only in death— does gojo finally grant himself permission to say what's been in his heart all this time.

he dismisses geto trying to be selfless/the better person (saying he's glad gojo's happy bc of someone else). and says the quiet part out loud— i would only feel complete with you.

only in death does gojo allow himself to be selfish with geto again.
