Well, Iā€™m still glad that Gojo was always a character who was growing and learning at least. Heā€™s literally one of my favorite characters of all time now. Like, heā€™s never been as perfect as how the fans would make him out to be despite canonically being viewed as an absolute nuisance to everyone around him (I donā€™t think his peers necessarily hate him but a lot of them probably hate to see him coming and the ones whoā€™ve dealt with him long enough to consider him a friend, tolerate him and groan whenever he opens his mouth,ļæ¼ too šŸ˜­ā€¦ out of love. Heā€™s extremely childish so there is only sm the other adults around him can take and to an extent, his students. I think the only characters in canon who adore him and their eyeā€™s sparkle whenever heā€™s around, and being a silly teacher was Yuuji and Miwa (she asked him for his autograph (heā€™s the most famous sorcerer in the jjk world) and when she was alone, she did a little dance in the empty hallway šŸ„ŗā€¦) from what weā€™ve seen even though the others still care about him, too. They just find him rather annoying, which he most definitely is. And he does it on purpose. He plays too much.)
#Iā€™m also not usually one to get annoyed whenever ppl shit on the things I like#like Iā€™m an adult sorry idc šŸ˜µā€šŸ’«#but itā€™s always annoying seeing ppl who know nothing about the story complaining about it#even just as recently with the Gojo being racist shit šŸ˜­..#like heā€™s a really great character despite all of that and even though Gegeā€™s#execution of that couldā€™ve been better or didnā€™t need to happen at all#because idk what gege was doing even though I do strongly believe that he used a moment like this to showcase Gojoā€™s ignorance and#that how heā€™s also human and makes mistakes since if youā€™re familiar with the series Gojo isnā€™t really treated like person at all#more like a deity and he doesnā€™t like that#but heā€™s never been one to voice his personal feelings and talk about his trauma ever#he gets treated like a god and because of this heā€™s never felt like he could truly connect with other people#so thatā€™s why he puts on that whole act of being overly friendly/ playing with others and even rude to shut others out because of his#aversion to opening his traumatized self To other ppl like heā€™s so cool#and when heā€™s friendly he gives the others just enough of his affection so that he wouldnā€™t be worried about and not have others pry#but heā€™s incredibly flawed as well#I feel like gege couldā€™ve showed Gojo being ā€˜humbledā€™ some other kind of way over the racism tho šŸ˜­. But itā€™s fine lmfao#Iā€™m still so grateful that he had Gojo actually apologize instead of waving Miguel off like he didnā€™t matter because like Iā€™ve said before#he literally never apologizes (this is probably the first time that Iā€™ve ever seen gojo apologize to anyone in canon Iā€™m so serious šŸ—æ)#thatā€™s literally not part of him#like he feels regret but he never apologies or shows that he actually cares about what others are expressing to him when theyā€™re upset with#him. like this is crazy. but it shows that he did care about the mistake that he made which I appreciateā€¦. like idk how I wouldā€™ve felt#about his character if he showed that he could care less when hurting someone like thisšŸ—æā€¦..#I adore him so much sorry sorry for taking about anime Iā€™m just šŸ˜­ā€¦. ā¤ļøā¤ļøā¤ļø#rambling#Iā€™m glad that everyone is fucking with Miguel now because he is a really interesting character even though we havenā€™t seen much of him#heā€™s one of the few ppl who Gojo trusted enough to look after someone who he cared about despite the horrors#because he knew that Miguel would protect yuuta and do right by him#itā€™s very šŸ˜­ā¤ļøā€¦

Preliminary thoughts on the S2 JJK guidebook.
I havenā€™t bought mine yet, but looking at whatā€™s circulating on X is already making me šŸ˜­
Some have said that the skin colour of Geto became much paler as if he hadnā€™t gotten the glow from the sun (representing warmth & happiness) and might not have been eating well (likely due to difficulties with sourcing food from sorcerers or general need to be reclusive / busy with disgusting curse absorption).
The interview with the seiyuu/VAs stating that they interpreted Geto feeling as if Gojo was a protective amulet/charm... giving greater meaning to his Gojokesa which he wore... as if it were the only way he could safely bring Gojo along with him, after he had to let him go (to ensure his safety from his dark path). He wore it as a comfort and lingering attachment šŸ„ŗ after he felt left behind by Gojo.
ā€œYou could do it.ā€ / ā€œIf I could be you.ā€ - I wonder if he said that not only referring to Gojoā€™s innate abilities, but in the way that he felt Gojo let him go with ease / didnā€™t need him anymore.
The height differences were commented on where some imagined that when Gojo & Geto met again after 10 years that Geto would think, ā€œyouā€™re bigger than I remembered.ā€ And Gojo would think, ā€œyouā€™re smaller than I remembered.ā€ Making it so cute somehow šŸ˜…šŸ„¹ if it wasnā€™t so sad.
Iā€™ve had this headcanon for ages that Gojo would stare at Geto flying off and heā€™d think: Is it really ok, Suguru? Youā€™re going against me and the whole jujutsu society. What are you plotting? Or are you thinking that your family is going to be ok if youā€™re not there anymore? Just like you thought Iā€™d be ok?
The VAs interpretation was that Geto didnā€™t change. He had the heart of a noble person and was self-sacrificing. Gojo trusted this core of Geto and understood him. He didnā€™t fall but changed direction.
I personally think that Geto wasnā€™t fundamentally evil. Gege deliberately made curses humanlike to make us question good, evil, and the importance of interpretation & intention. So we can compare the similarities and differences between people like Geto and people like Gojo/other sorcerers who walked parallel paths. If we as the readers werenā€™t humans, but rather curses, we would have different thoughts about what was going on.
Anyway. This isnā€™t a coherent post... might edit later or just leave it. Lol.

Gojo x reader x geto MAJOR spoilers for jjk chap 236 Iā€™m rlly not ok with Gege rn šŸ˜­
Tumblr media
He hears a voice. A voice so distinct, yet a voice he seemed to have forgotten. Yet he remembers it so clearly.
ā€œLate as usual, eh? Satoru.ā€
Itā€™s your voice.
But then another. Another that feels more familiar, but still one he never thought heā€™d hear again.
A voice heā€™d hear be the real him, again, anyway.
ā€œCut him some slack y/n-chan.ā€ geto sighs, with a smile and hands in his huge pockets with those dumb oversized yoga pants.
Satoru opens his eyes, seeing the two people he adored with his whole sense of self. Everything heā€™s ever done, even after you two left, had been for the both of you.
But it takes him aback, seeing you.
Donā€™t get him wrong, he loves suguru. It was a blessing to see him, even when things got complicated. But he hasnā€™t seen you inā€¦ what? Ten years?
Satoru feels the need to push back his tears and smile it all down, just like he always has.
Youā€™re eighteen. So is suguru. So is he. Back when it was simple. Back when even though things had changed, you three promised one another that youā€™d be there through thick and thin. Whether satoru was stronger than the both of you or not, you all loved eachother the same.
In a way, you had been the glue that stuck the three of you together. Even when suguru was losing faith, you always got him out of his funk.
The world took you from them too soon. Due to the negligence of the higher ups, both you and haibara were taken from them. From nanami. From shoko.
Once Suguru had lost the only positive things in his life, he had completely lost himself. You were no longer there to lift him up, you were no longer there to get him out of that damn shower, no longer there to help him get some sleep, no longer there to help him eat.
It was hard on satoru too, but even he canā€™t imagine what it was like for suguru.
Suguru loved you so much, when he lost you, he couldnā€™t handle it. He has decided the world was better without non shaman. Itā€™s because of them, you were taken from him.
Satoru will never forget the day of your funeral.
ā€œY/n is dead, and everything is worse now.ā€ Suguru told him, that very morning.
They were both broken, but in different ways.
Satoru on the other hand, wanted to make the world a better place for jujutsu sorcerers like you. He wants people to get stronger, to surpass even him, so that the world could be better for them. He hates the higher ups, and seeks to protect children like yuuji from them, because he failed to protect you from them in that way.
Satoru lets out a breath he didnā€™t know he was holding, standing up. For the first time in his life, if he can even call it that, he gives you a wobbly grin, diving in to hug you. He needs to feel you again. Smell you again.
He needs to know youā€™re really here with him.
ā€œDawwwā€¦ā€ you say, your voice almost teasing. Now that he thinks about it, it definitely was.
Even under these circumstances, you never change.
ā€œYou miss me?ā€ you say, wrapping your arms around him too, not admitting how much you missed him as well. He nods with a sniffle, ā€œmore than anything.ā€ he whispers, before pulling away.
Suguru smiles at the moment between you and satoru.
ā€œItā€™s too bad you lost, you know.ā€ you say, ā€œI was watching and everything!ā€ you whine, and satoru gives you a light smile. ā€œMaybe I shouldā€™ve shown off a little before going down like that, then.ā€ he says with a grin.
ā€œBut honestly, it was fun.ā€ Satoru admits.
ā€œWell, Iā€™m a little jealous..ā€ suguru says, ā€œbut if youā€™re satisfied with that, then I guess Iā€™m happy for youā€ suguru gives him a close eyed smile. Satoru had forgotten how much he missed seeing it.
Satisfied, huh?
ā€œHonestly, if you were still there on my side, cheering me on, maybe then, I wouldā€™ve been satisfied.ā€ Satoru says with a more genuine smile.
Suguru laughs, and satoru fails to notice the tears well up in his eyes upon hearing those words.
All this time, suguru thought satoru hated him. Hated him for everything heā€™s done. He wouldnā€™t blame him for it either. When suguru saw you for the first time, he thought youā€™d hate him too. But looking back on it, he should know you better than that. He should know satoru better than that, too.
ā€œIs that so?ā€ he asks, his shaky voice seems to give him away.
He nods.
ā€œThereā€™s been many times, Iā€™d wish you were still there with me. Watching me raise my students, with a proud smile.ā€ Satoru feels his own voice get shaky, looking at the man he loved.
ā€œMan,ā€ you let out a lighthearted sigh, ā€œyouā€™re both idiots, you know?ā€ you say with a carefree grin.
Satoru turns to pout at you, ā€œyeah, well! Whateverā€¦ā€ he rolls his eyes. ā€œIā€™m sure itā€™s easy for you to not have any regrets when it comes to us, huh? Youā€™re always so perfect at relationships and communicating and all that garbage.ā€ he says, sticking out his tongue. Suguru can only laugh at him, as if he missed seeing satoru like this.
ā€œYouā€™ve got it all wrong, satoru.ā€ your grin becoming soft. Something he hasnā€™t seen in god knows how long.
ā€œI do have my regrets with you both. Well, only one.ā€ you say, looking off to the side. Both boys look at you in anticipation. ā€˜So even suguru doesnā€™t know?ā€™ Satoru wonders to himself.
ā€œHonestly, I never had the balls to say it to either of you at the time, or even suguru this past year. However,ā€
you look at the both of them, a fondness in your eyes that both boys had missed seeing. You never did get this emotional and vulnerable, not often anyway.
ā€œmy only regret, was not being able to marry the both of you.ā€

heyy hope you're doing well (iykyk).
You know me lol...i got an idea for a fic but my exams are going on and i can't write it myself...like... that scene where gojo is panting? everyone relates it to well....but for me, i always feel a little hurt. i just wanna hug him and let him lean his weight on me as he catches his breath while i caresses his head cuz LOOK AT HIM! HE'S EXHAUSTED! MY MAN DESERVES A BREAK!!
Anyways so that's what i was thinking lol....a fic where (for the sake of my sanity) he gets a break and leans on the reader on the floor while catching his breath as the reader holds him close... it's okay if you can't do it though i just hope we all recover from the trauma that we call jujutsu kaisen. amen šŸ™ šŸ˜­
the stakes are high, the water's rough, but this love is ours
wc: 0.44k
cw/tags: swearing, angst if you squint real hard, pet names (baby, angel), just loving satoru things
note: you're literally so right i think all my problems would be solved if i could just hold him for a second and let him breathe because GEGE WHEN I FUCKING CATCH YOU- anyways hope you like this, it's just a drabble because i felt like getting straight to the point without exposition oops. enjoy!
likes, reblogs, and replies are always appreciated <;3 gege you will pay for my therapy
Tumblr media
Your back collides with cold, grimey tile as you slide onto the floor in the corner of the subway stop. You stopped counting the number of Curses youā€™d exorcized a long time ago, but you knew it was a large enough number to have your body physically depleted. Your eyes shut from sheer exhaustion as you continue to steady your rapid breathing and you sense him collapse on the floor next to you. You donā€™t open your eyes, even when his forehead falls onto your shoulder and you can feel his heavy exhales through your clothes. Somewhere in the dim fluorescent lights, his right hand grabs your left, holding it tightly as he grounds himself in your presence.Ā 
ā€œFuck, Iā€™m so fucking tired,ā€ he mutters against your body. Like clockwork, your fight-or-flight response starts to recede now that heā€™s here. Youā€™re always safe when heā€™s here. ā€œIā€™m so, so tired.ā€
ā€œI know, baby. I know.ā€Ā 
ā€œAre you okay? Are you safe?ā€
ā€œIā€™m safe, ā€˜toru. Even more so now that youā€™re here. Just rest.ā€ The familiar feeling of Infinity extending itself to envelop you sends goosebumps on your skin; it was like his technique knew to cover you from sheer instinct after doing it so many times. Whether he knows it or not, he slowly starts to completely slump against you and you let him, wrapping your arms around his shoulders while his head fits snugly under your chin. His body continues to melt into you when you rub his back without him asking and sighing when your fingers comb through his hair. If Nanami or Yaga saw you two curled up on the dirty floor, neglecting your duties of slaying Curses, theyā€™d have a field day. But, as of now, the only people in the green-tinted underground were you and Satoru.Ā 
ā€œWe gotta get back out there,ā€ he groans and you tighten your grip on his shoulders ever so slightly to pull him back to you. You didnā€™t want him to go yet, and it seemed like he didnā€™t want to, either. The universe allowed Satoru very limited moments to catch his breath and you damn sure werenā€™t going to let him rush into danger again so quickly.Ā 
ā€œGive yourself a few more seconds to just breathe, please. No oneā€™s gonna hurt us right now,ā€ you murmur into his hair. ā€œI wonā€™t let them.ā€ He huffs out half a laugh at the irony, at your promise to protect the one whoā€™s supposed to be guarding everyone else.
ā€œThank you, angel. Just give me a little longer and Iā€™ll get up.ā€
ā€œTake all the time you need; Iā€™ll stay here forever if you need me.ā€

Thoughts on JJK chapter 266 (Spoilers)
Tumblr media
I nearly cried...
We start with Megumi reiterating that he doesn't want to be saved. The last time we saw him he was down on the ground completely crushed. Here, Yuji managed to talk with him inside his domain, giving Megumi the opportunity to fully express himself and his feelings.
The "enough now" also has different connotations depending on the specific phrasing used in Japanese. I read a Twitter thread once that talked about it and how Megumi basically told Yuji that he, Yuji, didn't need to expand any more energy towards him, Megumi. That he could stop saving him because it was all right.
Tumblr media
It was said right in the beginning that Megumi sees Yuji and Tsumiki as the same type of person he wants to protect. That was why he selfishly asked Gojo to help Yuji after he swallowed Sukuna's finger.
Megumi's thoughts on the life he wanted to give his sister are so bittersweet. He isn't centered in them so it's natural that without Tsumiki he doesn't know where he could go on his own.
And let's not forget, Tsumiki was the only true family Megumi had left and for one and a half years he tried to save her from her curse only to fail twice. His teenage years were dedicated to her so his mental descend is understandable.
Maki lived through the same loss and compared with her we explicitly see the differences in them. Maki had always wanted to live her life on her own with her own strength which meant that she had to leave Mai behind. When Mai died Maki was mentally able to go on with living without problems but unlike with Megumi's and Tsumiki's situation, Maki and Mai also had a deep conversation and understanding with each other in the end. Maki got to hear Mai's last thoughts and her last wish to destroy them all.
Megumi doesn't have any last conversation with Tsumiki so Yuji has to step in on that front. And he does so with fully acknowledging Megumi's pain and outlook on his continued life.
Tumblr media
Sukuna uses Hollow Wicker Basket to counter Yuji's sure-hit and be able to fight him. He compensates the weaker CE output of HWB by keeping his handsign with his extra arms.
I checked, that hand sign is basically the same as Megumi's DE hand sign but with the left thumb up. Its interesting to think about the implications of that.
Sukuna also says the he can't use Gojo's version of getting his CT back up again after a DE because other parts of his brain are still damaged by UV.
We get an extended fight scene next but truth be told I did NOT care about the fight at that moment. Only Sukuna showing how angry he got with Yuji's "pity" was interesting. Other than that I wanted to get back to Megumi.
Tumblr media
Bringing back that absolutely iconic panel of Megumi and replacing Gojo with Yuji šŸ˜­
That was the part where I stared at my giant monitor and got misty eyed. Especially with Yuji being so honest about how much he would miss Megumi even though he understands and would support him with ending his life.
Its interesting again how Gege chose to leave Yuji's scars for his close up panel. It's probably to show how Mahito's trauma he inflicted on him and everything else he went through didn't measure into his deepest desire to get his friend back.
Until now we also didn't see Megumi's eyes. Even in this panel we get a small Megumi from a memory he had with someone else. But...
Tumblr media
Megumi immediately uses his shadows, those we haven't seen since Sukuna got his original body back.
But I also wonder about the implication here: was Sukuna's 10ST rendered non-functional because... he was in his original body? Or because the death of Mahoraga automatically deactivates the technique?
If it's the latter, than that means that with Megumi using his shadows here, he has his own version of his technique, one with his own shikigami who haven't been killed in the fight against Gojo.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
The last part of this fight is about how Sukuna went against what he just thought a few minutes ago. He does use Gojo's technique of restarting his CT again. His nose is bleeding because of it though.
Then comes another part of the good guy's long thought out plan to bring Sukuna down. His finger strung up in an unknown location, ready to do... what? We'll see when the Shinjuku Showdown actually finishes soon.
We'll definitely get the merger arc next but there'll most likely be a few chapters of talk and plot in between as well.
But wait!
What is going on with Yuji missing 2 fingers now? We know that one Sukuna finger is still missing and we know that Rika ate at least part of either Sukuna or Yuji to get Sukuna's CT.
But is this finger in the last panel a new finger maybe? One made with Yuji's ring finger?
We'll find out eventually but for now, this was such a deeply emotional chapter...

Tumblr media Tumblr media
people act like yuji not dying and choosing to live instead of being immediately executed was the reason for the events that have taken place.
brother read the manga because this has been in the works long before yuji was even born. My man Kenjaku chose Jin because he knew of their connection with Sukuna. Even if it wasnā€™t Yuji and someone else had been born it was gonna happen eventually.
So having people agreeing that with Kusakabe that Gojo shouldā€™ve killed Yuji is just fucking stupid.
Acting also like Gojo wouldnā€™t have smacked the shit out of him for that. Gojo was never letting ANYTHING happen to yuji no matter waht. He wouldā€™ve protected Yuji with his life.
Also fuck that man, I liked him but nah not when youā€™re talking bad about my husband and son. Bum ass LOSER šŸ˜’
anyway, this was going to happen eventually no matter what. couldā€™ve been some other teenager or random person. But the plans they had put in place was going to happen eventually. It mightā€™ve not gone as well as Kenjaku expected, especially since it wouldnā€™t of been Yujis bloodline but know that man was prepared and willing to do ANYTHING. So regardless, this whole sealing of Gojo, new era of curses was gonna happen.
anyway fuck Kusuckbe, where the FUCK is my husband. Me and his three children miss him very much so he better come the fuck back šŸ˜­ OR I WILL KMS THIS IS A THREAT @/GEGE

Dashing Youth Ep 11-16 Commentary
Ep 1-10, Ep 17-21, Ep 22-25, Ep 26-32, Ep 33-35, Ep 36-40
Ep 11
More flirting
Tumblr media
We meet Xiao Se's nasty Emperor dad in his youth, played by the lovely Fan Jinwei, whose Prince Chong I loved in BoY. Not sure if I'm prepared to hate him this time. He looks good tho!
We also meet Wu Xin' mom, who looks like a fractured wistful early-morning dream which is about to float away and dissappear with the slightest breath, never to be found again.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
And Luo Qingyang, (not to be confused with everyone's favorite girl crush Mianmian from The Untamed), the angry repressed big finale martial artist from BoY
Ep 12
I love the super powerful but easily spooked wooden sword wielding Mt. Wangcheng disciple, kid you *really* don't need to try study under Master Li, just because he's "the" shifu doesn't mean he's better. He will teach you nothing and isn't batting an eye at his exam candidates dying right under his eyes. Srsly, Mt. Wangcheng, the Lei family and Changfeng's Medicine Shifu's Valley seem to be the only places suitable to bring up well-adjusted, grounded kids in this universe.
Dual cultivating right in front of future wife's salad
Tumblr media
Damn his gaze is somehow piercing but indifferent at the same time
Tumblr media
(He's gonna explode and die in the future isn't he) Also see, this is what I mean. Most of the shifus in this universe are no good at teaching and guidance. These kids in their youthful vigor and angst are extremely volatile and you all just let them run rampant. They are easily suspectible to being used by bad forces and eventually create massive tragedies for themselves and everyone else.
Well I suppose Dongjun's first shifu was a great guy but 1. He didn't have enough time 2. Even if he did he was dying and sustaining himself in a contained bubble and what he could teach Dongjun about the world was quite limited.
Ahaha I have the exact same pouch! It's a cheap Aliexpress delivery pouch I got a ring sent in
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Ep 13
Omg she's TOO CUTE! This young lady and Baba from JoL2 are the prettiet babies I've seen this year!
Tumblr media
Local playboy realises his boyfriend from alt universe is happily married and has chosen to live a stress free life, the new boyfriend has ditched him for his future child's mom, his old boyfriend is away in a Detox Vacation and realises his carefree childhood has come to its end šŸ˜”
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Dongjun:
Also I'm actually kinda surprised to find myself shipping this tragic pair of Dingzhi/Wenjun, and shipping HARD at that. I don't know what I expected but by the the time of BoY, all that remains about their relationship is a sordid gossip but they actually turn out to be two broken lil kidsšŸ„ŗ They don't even have like, a hot and hormonal romance but a one built on sweet childhood promises of protecting his little meimei and caring for her Yun gege. Poor babiesšŸ˜­
Ep 14
Liu Yue thinks he hides it well behind his hat but dude is practically bursting at seams for having gotten a disciple, and he's basically teaching Yue Yao how to flex well and never embarrass herself, which in addition would embarrass himself lol. He also seems to be kinda lonely and bored despite his quirky lil maid and broody bf. It's like he was born to be a social butterfly but with his current social status he cannot.
Inaccurately accurate MTL šŸ¤£šŸ¤£šŸ¤£šŸ¤£šŸ¤£
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
(Also this is so funny to me with the context that I've read the "lifting the hijab" mtl line in lots of Chinese fics where the couple gets married and that red veil lifting thing happens on the marrige bed lol.)
Dingzhi's master seems to be just as traumatised by life as Dingzhi is. Huang Yi lasohi is actually so good in roles like this. Also can we have an applause for the first genderqueer character in the show woohoo
Tumblr media Tumblr media
And then the two shifus have a date about their duel, lol
Ep 15
Baili Dongjun gotta be the naivest ML I've encountered in a while, and by naive I mean beyond the levels of your average innocent, inexperienced teen full of sunlight and getting jaded overtime such as Fang Duobing, Wu Xie, Zhang Chulan etc.
Dongjun has grown up so sheltered and full of positivity, he doesn't seem to register the gravity of things even when they are right in front of his face almost to the point of stupidity.
He provides a stark contrast against his friends, Sikong Changfeng who's been the sweetest but also most down-to-earth kid to begin with and Ye Dingzhi who's been dealing with the weight of the whole world since childhood.
That part where Dongjun saw the arrest warrant for Dingzhi who also turned out to be his long lost bff, was told by his elders that they'll take care of the matter and will bring Dingzhi to him, Dongjun was just like "Ok cool! That's settled then! I'm gonna just chill and have a drink with my new girlfriend then!" was almost funny but sad because,
Kid, you are going to be in a WORLD of hurt VERY soon. You trust strangers way too much!
I mean in BoY you see how severely Dongjun has crashed to the point of wanting to create a broth of oblivion..... I can totally see how that happened.
Tumblr media
Also that poster is a severe injustice to Dingzhi's GORGEOUS face lmao
Ep 16
I mostly have opinions about Master Li in this ep, which I compiled in a seperate post linked above
Also my bb Changfeng is back! And straight away he also joined the baby making game, and Dongjun has no choice but to be a good wingman to his bros at this point lmao
Changfeng chose the most comparatively normal and mundane romance arc too. She's the top courtesan for sure but still, for many young gentry she wouldn't have been anymore worth than a fling, but Changfeng just went ahead and offered her the most genuine, authentic companionship ever without a second of hesitation. And walked out head held high, with ZERO idea about how suave and sexy it made him and I'm like:

Iā€™ve been going back reading the manga, and i NEED TO KNOW WHY YOROZU WAS SO UPSET WHEN SUKUNA HINTED HE KNEW WHAT LOVE IS
And she GOT LIVID ā€œTHATS NOT TRUE LOVEā€
Like hold on a minute- I might need to knock off Interview with a Vampire and find Yorozu
ā€œInterview with a Woman who wanted my husband: Yorozuā€
Only one question: ā€œwho the hell or what the hell did he love and can you elaborate in detail??? Weā€™re all gonna jump him, because excuse me???
Every article says he never had a wife or family, he SAYS He was an unwanted child, eXCUSE ME??
*turns to sukuna*
Hold on if your an unwanted child, power hungry who and where did you experience love??
The only LOVE you better have is how you loved the food Uraume cooked for you and not Uraume
Tell me you had a concubine and a child you loved
imma flip this fr and theorize so hard it was YOUR SON Yuji AND MAYBE JUST MAYBE after being unloved as a child you said ā€œThis is my child, Iā€™ll kill anyone who hurts himā€
and heā€™s the reason you really fell in battle when you were betrayed. You tried to protect him! But what happens when you have a weakness? IT GET EXPLOITED
so when you came across him reincarnated, it pissed you off he was so nice and soft boyish you snapped and hated him even if he was your son.

I don't particularly like how people sometimes portray itafushi as "pretty smart guy x dumb himbo" mainly because, to me, has implications of "there needs to be a dainty guy who's the brains and a big strong guy who's just nothing but brawns" which feels like an interpretation confromed in heteronormativity. You don't have to make one guy in a gay ship a damsel in distress who can't protect himself and only exists to tell the other guy what to do because he's "smarter", and you don't have to infantalize the other and make him dumb as rocks that only know hows to punch and kick and needs constant guidance from his partner on what to do in any given situation. You can make them both capable. You can make them both able to think for themselves and their actions. You can make them both strong. You can find balancing ways to make them both compliment each other. These characters are complex, they exist beyond the character trope boxes you try to force them into.
One of my favorite things about megumi and yuuji's dynamics is that they make up for any weak spots the other would have during a fight. Yuuji acts first and thinks later, and that could be super beneficial for most fights, especially since Curses and Curse Users are known for taking drastic action first, but sometimes you have complex techniques like Inverse which needs a little bit more strategizing first, which is where Megumi, who thinks first and acts later, comes in. Apart from the fact that he just has more jujutsu knowledge than Yuuji, Megumi has a keen eye for detail (see: even in the midst of being severely injured, he managed to notice Hanami's weak point and tell Todo (and later Gojo) about it). He just noticed Inverse's mechanics and quickly applied a strategy to beat him. This is not to say Yuuji wouldn't have eventually figured it out (he's very adaptable and a quick learner!) Megumi just figured it out faster due to his high Battle IQ, but that does not diminish Yuuji's intelligence at all. He's quick on his feet, he's relentless in his attacks (Mahito) and can adjust to any changes in the battle (allies coming to help him). That's intelligence.
On the other hand, we have people who think Megumi is incapable of fighting. Now, this is mostly because Gege gave Megumi so many Ls at the start (šŸ˜­), but if you see his growth, you can see him plenty capable of taking on opponents on his own. He can fight for himself, he's a capable fighter too. He handled himself well against Toji (despite what the anime wants you to believe), got jumped by 3 people while really exhausted and still won. Just because Yuuji is stronger than him physically (and not by that large of a margin as some make out) doesn't make him any less capable of scraping with someone, fists and all.
You can make them balanced while still having flaws (Yuuji being reckless, Megumi being someone hesitant who always second-guesses his actions) but i get annoyed when those flaws turn up to a 1000

dang u served one of the best characterizations of gojo I've seen and that's you struggling to write in his POV? šŸ˜­ /pos I really admire that!!
you are very right about him being pissed off abt being forced to protect the weak, the irony of geto reinforce that idea with his ideals, about gojo's parents being alive, and how being separated from them affected him as he grew. true true true true!
what a coincidence, ive been meaning to watch fruits basket! guess that's another reason to actually watch it
and I would love to read that fic. also I've been itching to read something that details how they met and got close (since we're not gonna get it from gege himself). if u have a fic recommendation, I'd love to have it !! or maybe tags I could use for searching since the stsg tag has likeā€¦ 15k works.
pampered gojo truther 4 lyfe šŸ¤ž
Absolutely watch fruits basket ! It is one of my favorite manga ever and deals with a lot of heavy themes. It will make you cry in a good way.
There is none that crosses my mind at the moment, but I'll let you know if I think of one !

I read some post :
"However Sukuna is stuck in Yuuji. In normal circumstances he can't take over, and if Yuuji stayed protected, unharmed and ignorant to the horrors of the world, aka if his soul didn't get damaged physically or emotionally, and he would've been fed the fingers gradually, he would've been able to keep Sukuna as a prisoner for ever.
In the fanbook, Gege said, that if Yuuji consumed a weaker cursed object than Sukuna's fingers, he'd've likely completely absorbed it. This both shows how potent his soul is and how strong is Sukuna's that he survives a prison like that intact. It's curious whether Yuuji would've started to absorb him too in this scenario where he would've lived a relatively peaceful life just consuming the fingers from time to time..."
Wow, so Yuuji really is someone special.....
I know, right?! šŸ˜­
He really is so special!! He's a strong kid, and not just physically! First episode/chapter, Megumi notes that Sukuna's cursed finger is a special-grade object and surely Yuji would die from consuming it. On top of that, there is a teeny tiny chance of Yuji surviving. A one in a million chance!
Not only does Yuji survive, but Sukuna was only awake for a complete of moments before Yuji was already telling him off and taking control back from his body.
Yuji's soul is just that strong.
I said this in another post, and now that I'm thinking about it, Sukuna should have been recognized how different Yuji is compared to others.
The first time Yuji faces Sukuna, what does he do? Express his anger towards him. You would think Yuji would be frightened at the idea of being stuck in a soul room with the guy who killed him, but no. Rightfully so, he is pissed.
That is just an example of how Yuji acts towards Sukuna compared to others.
Everyone else either expressed some fear even at the mention of Sukuna's name or they challenge him for the sake of wanting to prove their strength.
Yuji doesn't do either. Instead, he wants to kill Sukuna. Doesn't care to prove anything to him and finds him annoying.
He's just... I can't even exactly express it, but Yuji is my favorite!
And honestly, I feel like Sukuna is written to show just how strong Yuji is. Latest chapter, he notes how no matter what he does to break Yuji, Yuji gets back up and continues fighting. Which is true. Even after Sukuna did what he did to Shibuya, just moments after seeing all that destruction and wishing death on himself, Yuji recollect himself and decides to push on.
There's a lot of strong characters in the story, but to me, Yuji is the strongest. Every other character that is strong has flashy moves, immense cursed energy, able to use techniques, has tons of experience, related to some big shot... that's what makes a lot of those characters strong.
What makes Yuji the strongest to be is, again, not just his physical prowess, but the fact he has a soul that Sukuna, the strongest, can't even subdue.
Just me now, but I think it's fitting that Yuji is Sukuna's final boss as Sukuna is his.
I'm rambling really (sorry this got long), but that's what I have to say about Yuji.

might get flamed 4 this but comments like ā€œgege is just killing everybody now, gege needs to stop cooking, gege doesn't know what he's doing, etc.) r getting annoying ngl like they're posting that on every chapter no matter what happens šŸ˜­ and it's fine to criticize something obviously that can't be avoided but these empty comments that provide no actual/meaningful input into the criticism is just so redundant šŸ’€
+1. these kinds of comments kinda encourage the disrespect gege receives... cuz they leave these kinds of comments everywhere to the point where it's pretty icky. and not much ppl bat an eye cuz some might think it's all lighthearted or normal when rlly, it's getting a bit too far. like there's ppl who r genuinely saying he deserves to get sick n stuff?? bc he kiiled ur favorite character?? bc u don't like the manga??? šŸ˜­wtaf
+2. y'all have something to say when a character ā€œhas plot armorā€ and y'all still yap when a character doesn't... so rlly there's no winning šŸ’€and I, personally, don't think jjk is meant to be one of those ā€œdefeat evil with the power of friendshipā€ shows,,, mind you, they are going up against a supernatural being who's named the king of curses and is known to be impossible to beatā€”of course that 17 year old ain't gonna beat his ass just cuz everyone's counting on them??? nor will that adult who's never encountered a being that strong before. it feels kinda corny saying this but the outcomes of the battles in jjk are a bit more realistic ... ā€œgege's just killing everybody nowā€ obviously they're going to die???? they're going against a power beyond them what do you expect šŸ˜­ i get that it's a fictional show but the characters are still humans ... even with their cursed techniques and weapons, they're not always gonna survive ... not every plan or tactic of theirs r gonna work or turn out the way they expected
+ they're at a war with something rlly powerful so ofc they're gonna fire every shot they have which, in this case, are their comrades
+ it has been addressed by the show/series itself that jujutsu tech lacks the manpower to protect everybody, this is literally part of geto's reasoning for his actionsā€”he knows he and/or his fellow sorcerers r bound to end up with a pile of their colleagues' bodies bc there arent much sorcerers in the world esp ones that could survive for a v long time. if a character is aware of this, that means gege is as well bc he literally wrote him to think about that
+3. if u hate the writing so much JUST DROP IT šŸ¤Æ crazy idea, never been thought of before, I know !! but some comments rlly are not necessary.... just stop reading if u can't take it anymore... no one is forcing you to read it. and if u feel compelled to cuz u already read so much, then don't leave harmful comments towards gege?? it's so easy to stfu and be a decent person on the internet šŸ˜­ you're contributing nothing by leaving comments like that under someone's work. if u hate how it's going so much then go make an au and satisfy urself. it's just so unnecessary
+4. idek if gege gets paid enough to deal with reader's bs ... people need to remember these mangakas are also people with real lives who are just trying to live and get by. some authors rlly get dehumanized just bc of the art they make
idc if I get called a dickrider,, as an artist myself I'm just so annoyed I'm sawry šŸ˜“šŸ˜“ drawing and writing takes a lot of work.. I get concerned abt gege's well-being when the quality drops a little in the manga. maybe they're seeing something that I'm not, that's why they leave comments like that. maybe I got something wrong too, I'd like to be enlightened if that's the case /gen

If Gege is still drawing parallels between Yuta & Rika and Gojo & Geto, the idea that Gojo couldā€™ve been cradling Getoā€™s lifeless body at the end of jjk0 is going to haunt me šŸ˜­
I read a Japanese reader on X (formerly twitter) say that Gojo was the kind of person to not even want Shoko to touch Getoā€™s body, so they were wondering what exactly a man with that mentality would do with his corpse. And I guess especially since Gojo, for a moment, questioned whether Geto had actually come back to life despite being the one who had killed him.
I have mixed feelings about that interpretation that he didnā€™t wish for Shoko to cremate/process Getoā€™s body, but also definitely have wondered about it myself.
It was kind of implied both ways, that MimiNana had something to do with it (with Kenny implying that they made an agreement - whether it was just to kill humans, or more than that like perhaps to heal Getoā€™s mutilated body? We have no idea.) but also not, because the rest of the cult didnā€™t seem to know the identity of Kenjakuā€¦ so how could they make and agreement with someone they didnā€™t know?
Presumably, Kenny would be in another host (mystery whose body as Yujiā€™s mum was presumably already let go by then?), so idk how the cult family wouldnā€™t know who they made an agreement with over Getoā€™s body, if Gojo had given it to his cult family to mourn.
But going based on what the person on X said, and how Gege is somewhat protective of Gojo & Getoā€™s relationship (such as in making his last words to Geto a secret), maybe Gojo really was such a person who had a secretive side to him and he kept Getoā€™s body to himself for safekeeping šŸ˜³
Iā€™ve gone off on a tangent again. Oops!

My most major issue with gege's writing has to be his pacing. He's such an amazing writer when it comes to symbolism and characterization, yet I feel he falls short when it comes to the speed his story is going, especially considering the most recent chapters. Donā€™t get me wrong, this has been happening since the beginning (basically chapter one šŸ˜­šŸ˜­), yet it seems more obvious currently, or maybe I just started to notice it. (This isnā€™t a particularly new take, iā€™m just sharing my thoughts on it)
---
For example, Chapter 259 was a beautifully executed chapter, and there should be no debate. It was perfectly in character for Choso to die for his brother by protecting him on the battlefield, so much so that many people even predicted it happening. For him to go out in any other way would have been a disservice to his character, and I applaud gege for carrying it out like he did. BUT WHY WAS IT SO FAST?? Like, yeah, people were mourning, but for LESS THAN A WEEK? Really?šŸ˜ŸMaybe iā€™m on the wrong side of the fandom, but within a couple days, people were hyping up todo, WHEN CHOSO, YUJIā€™S BROTHER AND ONLY PERSON BY HIS SIDE, DIED. The worst part was that we only saw like 2 panels of yuji mourning before todo just hopped in! Like couldnā€™t gege have just spaced the two things out?
And I understand that they are in a battle where their lives are at stake, so there is no time to mourn, yet itā€™s frustrating to see a fan favorite character I spent years enjoying, have such a purposeful end, yet only for it to be forgotten in the next chapter. And I acknowledge that it is partly the fandom's fault, having the hype overshadow the substance in the chapter. And they arenā€™t in the wrong for being excited, i just wish theyā€™d go back and appreciate chosoā€™s conclusion and gegeā€™s writing, instead of purely riding on hype.
ANOTHER EXAMPLE IS CHAPTER 260! Again, no oneā€™s in the wrong for wanting and focusing on gojo coming back, heā€™s a fan favorite after all, but itā€™s just so annoying seeing the entire fandom fixate on one panel, and not appreciating todo and yuji for their work. And in 261, it seems like both of them were just forgotten for gojo and yuta. WHY DID GEGE EVEN BOTHER BRINGING TODO BACK THEN? WHAT WAS THE POINT IN HAVING 260? I guess i just have to see how it plays out ig šŸ˜­šŸ˜­šŸ˜­

ok. genuine thoughts. iā€™m upset that this was the route takenā€¦ i just think that it wouldā€™ve been more impactful had it actually BEEN satoru/hell even if it was sukunaā€™s mind playing tricks on himā€¦ bc it wouldā€™ve been instilling fear/doubt in sukunaā€™s mind which has never been done by anyone else before! alsoā€¦ i just wish it was JUST satoru himself. like i love yuuta and if it HAD to be anyone overtaking satoruā€™s body, i mean iā€™m glad it was yuuta and not kenjaku bc at least you know thereā€™s no maliciousness involved! but itā€™s likeā€¦ itā€™s so burdensome. to yuuta to have to do this and live w this fact + satoru said he doesnā€™t care what happens to his dead body but idk i just would think that gege would leave gojoā€™s body ALONE. gojoā€™s body shouldā€™ve never been on the playing field of ā€œbeing usedā€ i think he shouldā€™ve been the exceptionā€¦ having someone else inside THE gojo satoruā€™s body is just idk i donā€™t like that writing choiceā€¦
also. wouldnā€™t it have been more impactful if either:
1) sukuna AND yuji saw gojo and didnā€™t know what the hell was going on? sukuna feeling doubt at what heā€™s seeing and yuji feeling doubt/relief? because thatā€™s HIS sensei. even if it was a mirage i think it wouldā€™ve been better than what we got if iā€™m being honest
2) and this is my own PERSONAL wish. i just wish that satoru would have chosen north and reached enlightenment/chose his students and pushed forward. bc thatā€™s what makes satoru, SATORU. the youth. the future. his students. him losing the six eyes and not being ā€œthe strongestā€ anymore but it doesnā€™t matter bc his students got HIS back and he has THEIRS. hell even if he keeps his six eyes and just reaches enlightenment to GET stronger would be totally fine too! bc guess whatā€¦ megumi is STILL inside sukuna. like i think gege fucking forgot about him -> in turn satoru doesnā€™t mention megumiā€¦ which is INSANITY bc he RAISED that boy. satoru raised megumi longer than toji did. likeā€¦ idk.
thereā€™s just personally so many things iā€™d do differently and itā€™s not even about ā€œsubverting expectationsā€ i think gege should still service the story/characters without always caring about what Crazy Subversion he can doā€¦ bc then you end up LOSING the ideals/personality of the characters themselves!
idk manā€¦ iā€™m beyond glad we got gojo panels and iā€™m glad yuuta is back but alsoā€¦ it isnā€™t yuuta in his own body šŸ˜­ and also i feel like we shouldā€™ve gotten more yuji/yuuta team upā€¦ and ANOTHER also. i didnā€™t feel anything when choso died likeā€¦ā€¦ā€¦. gege is so casually killing characters off and it doesnā€™t even service the plot itā€™s just uselessā€¦ so thereā€™s no EMOTION behind it. which is crazy bc i love choso and i shouldā€™ve been wailing when he died but there just wasnā€™t any build upā€¦ :/ also. iā€™m still mad about the twin theory not being real. uncle/nephew is one thing but twin theory would have been PERFECT. same with gojo losing six eyes/reaching white light enlightenment idc either one. also suguru would absolutely be the type of man who would tell satoru to go forward and go northā€¦ same w nanami. nanami would want yuji protected at all costsā€¦ AND DONā€™T GET ME STARTED ON GOJO BARELY EMOTING WHEN NANAMI DIED!!!!!! ok now iā€™m just ranting abt my qualms w the manga. anyways. iā€™m curious what happens but likeā€¦ these chapters donā€™t HIT like how hidden inventory/yuji higu fight hitā€¦ like atp bring back toji again i think heā€™d team up w yuji to bring his son back like we lost the plotā€¦
but also. anyone being mad at yuuta you have critical thinking/reading issuesā€¦ like yuuta is doing all of this out of desperation he has no other choice šŸ˜­ you canā€™t fight sukuna by being all sweet and humane likeā€¦ i fear you gotta get monstrous to deal w a demon like him. yuji ate his siblings. thereā€™s just heinous shit you gotta do to deal with this type of man and thatā€™s what you have to doā€¦ again itā€™s the tie in of being a ā€œmonsterā€ and feeling like you have no other options: aka something that ALL jjk characters (gojo, geto, toji, yuji, megumi, nanami) had to DO. youā€™ll have to do things you donā€™t want to in order to secure a safer future for your loved ones. like damn i hate that gege wrote it like this but alasā€¦ what can we do! šŸ˜­ just donā€™t be mean to yuuta or else iā€™ll fight you idgaf šŸ¤Ø but tbh w the way shit is goingā€¦ if gege kills off yuutaā€¦ iā€™m killing myself. iā€™m gonna acc drop the mangaā€¦ā€¦ā€¦ā€¦.
