It felt like it had been forever since Cora had been to Jujutsu High, let alone Tokyo. She had left her final year of high school, deciding never to look back, but yet here she was, standing in front of the school where she had lost many friends.

 Taking a deep breath, she decided to finally walk on campus. She had questions she needed answers for, and a certain 'person' needed to answer them. 

Walking around campus, Cora noticed that not much had actually changed here; it was oddly nostalgic. A little down the path, she spotted an oddly muscular man, seemingly around what she'd expect to be her age. "Excuse me, sir, I'm looking for someone. Have you seen--" 

The man turned to acknowledge her. "Holy shit! Kento, is that you??" He blinked in surprise, clearly recognizing the voice - but he was taken aback when he actually saw her, staring for a good moment or two before he spoke, his voice flat and even. "Ah... Cora, it is..."

 He seemed to study her as he spoke, his eyes roaming slightly over her stature and appearance, before his eyes met her own, and he gave a small nod. "It's been a long time..." 

"Tell me about it! How have you been?" Cora was happy to run into Nanami rather than the others because unlike them, she and him *were* actually close. "Fine." 

There wasn't much else for him to say; he had never been a man of many words. Even when they were younger, he took a moment before he gave any sort of reply to her questions - but it didn’t feel as distant as she remembered it. "How have you been? You look... good. Well." 

"I've been fine, but I’m not the one who bulked up as much as you did; puberty hit you like a bus!" Without much thought or censorship, that joke came flying out of Cora's mouth, causing her to laugh.

 He looked down at himself, and it was like he was looking at himself for the first time. Then, a small amused shrug. "I suppose a little..." His eyes wandered over her again - from her hair to her waist and back. He seemed to like her appearance, though there was no real way to tell. It was just a silent and subtle thing. "You look elegant, though."

 "Why thank you." He gave a subtle nod, his blue eyes fixated solely on her.

 "I see you still wear your clan’s colors..." He said, referring to the blue robes and coat draped over her, as well as the blue patterns of the clothing underneath. "You have always looked good in blue..." 

"Awww 'MiMi', you flatter me!" Even after not seeing him for years, Cora still remembered the nickname she made up for him when they were younger. He gave her a tiny glare when she called him that - it was cute, it was something she used to do all the time.

 But he couldn’t deny the small tingle of warmth he felt when she said it. "Not flattery. Just a compliment..." 

He gave a soft huff before returning his eyes to her, scanning her over once more before meeting her eyes. "…. I must admit I did not know you returned. What made you come back?"

 "Hmm, just following rumors." She hummed in acknowledgment as she listened to his answer, before a small scoff came from him.

 "Rumors. How typical of you, Lady-" He stopped himself; the word was almost foreign on his tongue after years of calling her "Lady Cora". He shook his head slightly, then continued talking calmly. " Cora Which rumors are you following, precisely?" 

“I’m sorry, MiMi, I can’t tell you.” Cora’s demeanor changed, her body language becoming tense and angry. “It's personal, family matters. You know.” 

Her mood switch happened fast, almost unnoticeable. Before long, she looked back at him, and smiled. He furrowed his brow as he noticed the change in her demeanor. It was like an entirely different person, and it caught him off guard for a moment as he listened to her words.

 “Hmmm…” His hum was low as he considered her reply. Clearly, he was suspicious, but the change back to her normal self threw him off. And he simply sighed, a small gesture of defeat.

 “You may hide your affairs from me, Lady Cora. If it is ‘family matters’ - then that is that.” 

She got embarrassed by being called that title, since no one really bothered to use it anymore. “My! My! Haven’t heard that title in a bit!” 

He gave a low chuckle, something that rarely happened even in private. He had a nice, low chuckle though it sounded more like a scoff than anything. “It is just the respect due to women of your stature,” he replied, giving a small shrug, and returning his eyes to her again as the small grin faded away.

 Looking away, Cora noticed a group of people consisting of a man she assumed was Gojo and a group of students. ‘That kid… the one with the pink hair must be his vessel,’ she thought to herself. 

“Say, MiMi, who is that kid over there, with the pink hair?” She asked, pointing over to the group.

 “That would be Itadori Yuji, one of Gojo's students.” ‘I got you, you son of a bitch!’ 

Before Nanami could register anything, Cora was gone and took off towards the group.

As Cora closed in on the group, she could feel her heart pounding in her chest, it felt as if it dropped to the floor, she was fueled by a mix of adrenaline and anger.

Itadori, however, was completely oblivious to the impending confrontation, and continued chatting with the others Without warning, Cora lunged forward, allowing  her instincts to  take over.

 With a swift motion, she tackled Itadori to the ground, sending both of them crashing onto the grassy courtyard. Itadori let out a surprised yelp as the impact knocked the wind out of him, the others recoiling in shock.

Nanami's eyes widened as he watched the sudden altercation unfold. He moved to intervene, but Cora pinned Itadori to the ground before he could reach them, her gaze burning with intensity.

“YOU!”

“Cora? What do you think you’re doing attacking one of my precious students?” The voice speaking was Gojo no doubt. Looking up at him, her eyes looked dead, the sparkle that was in them just a moment ago was gone.

“Oh? What happened to the sweet ‘princess’ I went to school with? You changed”. He started to walk over prepared for a fight.

“This boy, is Ryomen Sukuna’s vessel right? I have some questions for him” She glares back down at Itadori, sending shivers down his spine. 

Itadori squirmed beneath her, his eyes darting nervously between Cora and Gojo. He could feel the weight of their stares, the intensity of the situation sinking in.

Gojo raised an eyebrow, a knowing smile playing on his lips. "Ah, so you've figured that out, have you?" He chuckled softly, as if he found the whole situation amusing. 

"But I'm curious, Cora," Gojo continued, his tone turning more serious. "How did you find out about him? It's not every day someone stumbles upon that kind of information."

 Cora’s gaze flickered with defiance, but she remained silent momentarily, considering her words carefully. "Let's just say I have my sources," she replied cryptically, her voice scarcely steady despite her predicament.

Nanami observed the scene with a mixture of surprise and concern. The rumors Cora mentioned earlier must have been about Itadori. He is the reason why she is back.

 Gojo nodded thoughtfully, his eyes lingering on Cora for a moment longer before he turned his attention to Itadori. "Well, it seems we have quite the interesting situation on our hands," he remarked, his tone light but tinged with an underlying seriousness.

Amongst the tension filled air a deep voice spoke out. “OH! THIS IS GOOD REAL GOOD!”  Everyone's heads snapped down to Itadori where the voice was coming from, his hand more specifically, a mouth appeared. 

“My my, if it isn't Lady Cora, you look almost identical from the last time I saw you.. What was it? Over a thousand years ago” 

“Sukuna, you should have stayed dead” Cora strained out.

Sukuna's mouth curled into a wicked grin, his eyes gleaming with malice as he regarded Cora. "Ah, but where's the fun in that, Lady Cora? It seems fate has brought us together once again." 

Cora's grip tightened on Itadori's collar, her jaw clenched in frustration. "I have no time for your games, Sukuna. I'm here for answers! WHY! WHY DID YOU KILL MY FAMILY!”

“Oh to hold a grudge for all these years”

“That's enough, you two, now Cora, if you would kindly let go of my student, it seems you have some explaining to do..” 

As Cora stared down at Itadori, the weight of her anger and frustration bore down on her. The memories of her family's tragedy surged to the forefront of her mind, fueled 10 fold  by Sukuna's presence. She gritted her teeth, her grip on Itadori tightening involuntarily. 

Gojo's voice cut through the tension like a blade, commanding attention and authority. His words brought a momentary pause to her frustration, though Cora's glare remained fixed on Itadori. Reluctantly, she let go of  him, though her gaze didn't waver.

 Itadori scrambled to his feet, rubbing his neck where Cora's grip had been tightest. He shot a wary glance at Sukuna's mouth, the fear evident in his eyes, shoving his hand in his pocket, before turning his attention back to Cora and Gojo. "I-I'm sorry, I didn't mean to cause any trouble," Itadori stammered, his voice tinged with nervousness. 

"I didn't know about your family, I swear!" Cora's expression softened slightly at Itadori's words, though the pain and anger still simmered beneath the surface. She took a deep breath, trying to calm the storm raging within her.

“No, No I should be apologizing to you, I shouldn't have done that to you, yo had nothing to do with it after all” 

“Cora- just how old are you?” A stern voice cut through their conversation, definitely belonging to Nanami. Her breath hitched, taking a sharp inhale. “Promise not to freak out” 

Turning back to Nanami she finally spoke, “1026 years old”

MY BLANKET OF DARKNESS HAS BEEN COMPLETED

✨👁️✨ I AM SO COZY NOW ✨👁️✨

So I started working on this blanket around June of 2022. Got like, maybe half-way through the blanket and then the yarn I needed for the blanket went out of stock at my local yarn shop. Now I didn't know the yarn would be completely unavailable for like 6 months (until the stop closed permanently), so I just kept on waiting, hoping for it to come back in stock-- but it never did, so in January I finally looked online if I could find the yarn elsewhere and I did, I got the yarn I needed, and finished the blanket. So it kinda took me 6 months to make this blanket but also not

What made this blanket a truly exciting and fun project for me is that this has been the first blanket I actually made for myself and designed for myself. Like I've enjoyed every single blanket project I've had so far, but having a blanket that's Just For Me is just. It's nice

I originally planned the granny squares out digitally because I wanted to have a fun pattern of different granny squares, something that wouldn't be too busy looking and was carefully planned, and here's what I came up with

I had two versions of the square pattern, one with moon phases right in the middle of it and another without them. I do like how the moon version looked and part of me kinda regrets not making that one, but I'm not sure the moons would have really gone well with the eyes... So I did go with the first version

(Sidenote, it's not on the pattern above but I added extra rows of just black squares at the top and bottom of the blanket, so there's two rows of black instead of just one)

(Sidenote 2, although I knew I wanted the blanket to be mostly black from the begining, I wasn't entirely sure what accent color I wanted to use, it really was depending on what colors the shop had available. Like I used yellow as kind of a default color since it worked nice with the stars and eyes, but I could've gone with some other color too. In the end, because I didn't like the color options for the yarn at the shop I ended up going with a yellow anyways) (Also I tested out a reverse color version with the pastel purple and white base and no eyes, just for funsies, it looks kinda neat)

But yeah, that's how the planning of the blanket went.

The blanket is made of 231 squares in total, 11x21 rows. 186 of the squares are plain black, the rest are patterned. The star squares were the worst to make because of how many strands of yarn I had to weave in, 0/10, would not reccommend.

I used the Cedro 100% wool yarn (reccomended hook size 5, 50g=100m), and it took me about 38 balls of yarn to finish the blanket (including crocheting all the squares together and doing a single round of double crochet around the blanket to finish it off)

This is literally all the yarn I have left from this blanket; one untouched ball of black and three partially used balls.

I gotta admit.

I'm kind of shocked by the size of the blanket. Like I very carefully measured it to make it the exact size to fit my bed, and it fits perfectly. But I'm still kinda shocked how big it is. (Which is why I didn't make the border of the blanket any bigger, even though I could've with the yarn I have)

Also

It's HEAVY

Like, of course it's heavy, it's 100% wool and thick, but MAN I didn't expect it lmao

But that kind of makes it perfect for cold winters especially, it's super warm and the weight makes it cozy- like who needs a weighted blanket when you can have one of these lmao

Now I just need to figure out how to protect the blanket from being covered in my white cat's hair...

Obsessed with the way Evadne's relationship with Apollo is described. Obsessed with the way Apollo was especially gentle with her because she was sheltered, hidden away and hadn't had any sort of experience with love prior to Apollo (and due to it being described as her 'first learning Aphrodite's joy' through Apollo', it was probably her first time even being attracted to someone). Obsessed with the way when she runs away, she stops in a violet patch to give birth. Y'know, violets, very famously the flower so strongly associated with Aphrodite that they were used in love potions? Those violets. Obsessed with the way that when Apollo realised his lover was going to have to deliver their child alone, he sent BOTH the goddess of childbirth and ALL THREE OF THE FATES to help and support her. Obsessed with the way that Apollo sends snakes to feed his baby honey straight from their fangs because Evadne abandons their son out of straight primal fear when her stepfather finds her and how the description of that honey is 'sweet venom' [ἰός] of the bees and is DEFINITELY a poetic pair/pun with [ἴον] aka violets and that every single thing about this relationship, conception and birth is a complete and utter fairytale down to Evadne's insanely overprotective stepfather having an immediate change of heart when he learned Evadne's child was an actual, legitimate Son of Apollo and the babe, after being cared for by his dad's honey-fanged snake buddies, was found perfectly healthy five days later swaddled in a blanket of violets (y'know the flowers so strongly associated with Aphrodite that they were used for lo-) and they called him Iamus aka Boy of the Violets which is AAAAAARRRR I AM GNAWING AT MY ENCLOSURE

Iamus was made of love. Everything about him was surrounded by deep and profound love and like, let's not even talk about his whole Thing of when he came of age and was like "I need to find out what my purpose is" and he literally had a Disney Protagonist moment where he ran out into the wilds and was like "Father!! Grandfather!! Tell me what I'm supposed to doooo!!" and then APOLLO FUCKING ANSWERED AND LED HIM TO ONE HIS TEMPLES ENTIRELY BY TALKING WITH IAMUS AND LETTING HIM FOLLOW HIS VOICE FOR THE WHOLE JOURNEY LIKE -

What do y'all know about the kind of SSS tier romantic escapades Apollo had fr?

As someone who grew up around Transformers secondhand and knows good nuggets of the various lore and characters by proxy, it’s incredibly funny to me that my top 3 faves are pretty basic but on opposite ends. Bumblebee, Shockwave, & Soundwave. Put them in a situation together and godspeed

I just really like it when a guy is soaked in sweat and covered in dirt. Is it too much to ask to see a couple grubby guys here? Where are they? Why are you all so clean?
