Let the poor man rest.
#also no he doesn't want to experience life as a normal person. no he wouldn't sacrifice his powers to live again.#he LOVED being powerful. he was very proud of his powers. he was at the top of the world. what he disliked was being so lonely at the top.#which having reunited with Geto now he is not.#and he wanted to keep the next generation safe due to his past regrets and teach a generation of kids to be at the top together.#and he wanted to get rid of the corrupt higher-ups and reform the Jujutsu society.#and he did all of that. Yuta and Yuuji are both alive and safe and the kids are all reunited with each other stronger than ever#and the higher-ups are d**d.#Gojo obviously wouldn't hate to keep living. he clearly didn't expect to lose and die. but as he himself confirmed#he died doing what he loved. he went out the way he wanted. he went out with a bang. he had the best fight of his life and gave it his all.#as he said 'he had fun'. he said it would have been embarrassing if he died of old age or sickness.#and now that he's gone he's happy with his friends and especially Geto. he found peace.#He said it himself 'Now i'm wishing that it's not just a dream'.#also for those of you who say that Geto & Gojo wouldn't be together because one would go to hell and one to heaven... no. just no.#first of all. Gojo did a mass m*r*** before his death#second of all. they're Buddhists. they don't have heaven and hell. don't bring Abrahamic religions into everything.#and you'd be surprised by the excuses the Abrahamic religions find to not let people in heaven.#probably Gojo wouldn't go to heaven even if he didn't kill the higher-ups due to...idk... occasionaly doing pranks or sth.#but Gege apparently created a whole other afterlife of his own. and Toji Geto Gojo Nanami and everyone were all gathered there together.#you SAW that. so stop.#jujutsu kaisen#jjk#gojo satoru#satoru gojo#jjk gojo#gege akutami#my two cents#satosugu

Love the way fans who blame the Jedi Council for Anakin's fall are very conveniently ignoring the fact that Palpatine was at his side for the whole time, manipulating him, destroying and distorting his character little by little, corrupting his mind with nightmares, preying on his weaknesses and ego, and paving the way for the most opportune moment for him to finally be seduced by the dark side, and be "killed" by Vader.
The Jedi Council wasn't perfect (which was a result of the long term game the Sith were playing to destroy the Jedi Order and finally conquer the Republic), but they didn't turn Anakin to the dark side. They were simply too blinded to foresee and prevent his fall.
#dont know who needs to hear this but not everything has to be about your christian trauma and anti-establishment feelings#the jedi were inspired by buddhist monks ffs#they were meant to be heroic peace keepers not corrupt politicians that you can hate on#and there's nothing that makes them worse than the sith#star wars#pro jedi#anakin skywalker

big fan of just existing with no expectations. my 'greater purpose' is to eat food and drink water and love and be kind and be alive until it's time for me to die. call me a hippie if you want but that's all i need.
#i might be something of a zen buddhist#this also might be influenced by the fact that all my big dreams were crushed by capitalism

Starting to think the people who "defend" the jedi order with "they're space buddhist!" don't actually know much about buddhism
#rook babble#look guys just bc its based on an eastern religion doesnt mean its exempt from problems#buddhism has had plenty of problematic turns thru internal and external pressures#its not wrong to criticize it let alone a western fantasy version of it#also the jedi order isnt even a one-to-one with buddhism??#if the jedi are the equivalent of buddhists and george based it on samurai films#guess what there were warrior monks in japan! they were buddhist! THEYRE PRETTY KNOWN FOR BEING TERRIBLE BUDDHISTS#star wars

base meme would have suited fine but i think this was a bit more accurate LOL
#this is vee speaking#POPULAR WITH MEN KUUKOU 🙌#THE GIRLIES THINK HES A FUNKY LITTLE GUY (SAFE) 🙌#that ask i got about what makes kuukou attractive in that universe was so interesting i’m so serious lol#like!!!!! based on what hypmic presents us i’d say the ones popular with women are the ones who get girls screaming their names like idols#like ramuda hifumi and jyushi!!!!! and samatoki and ichiro that one time in tdd iirc!!!!!!#tdd manga also had girls fawning over nmcd so there is that in the camp kuukou does have appeal to girls in that sense#but it’s funny to me in canon we’ve seen kuukou flocked by men old people and children LOL#that reminds me of this one comic i read where bat were out in the town but jyushi and hitoya wanted to stop somewhere else i think#so kuukou waited for them outside and as he waited he slipped into meditation reciting buddhist prayers#when jyushi and hitoya came back they found him still chanting still in that deep state of mind#but passerbys had given him offerings and an old lady was praying to KUUKOU offering her thanks LOL#c: kuukou👑

fuckfuckfuckfuckfuck i forgot an episode of monster next door included a tarantula
*moves the show to the monitor on my right and closes that eye too*
#time to set the dorm on fire#monster next door#i knew about it because of a rec'd post but didn't process it#i once offered to pay a guy 10000 won in korea (about $8.50) to murder a tarantula that was walking towards me#we had a lot of fairly devout buddhist friends in our group who we knew would be unhappy#and I apologized so much but like i was trying so hard to keep my cool and I casually walked to the other end of a group of 40 people#and that motherfucker CHANGED DIRECTIONS TO FOLLOW ME#we later found out it was my soap and shampoo- they were orange scented and those things nest in citrus#so it might have thought i was home or something#but the guy killed it for me and wouldn't accept the money because he'd wanted an excuse to kill one just bc he thought it'd be fun#and I apologized to my gloriously bonkers roommate bc she was one of the very devout people who didn't like any bug killing#and she just shrugged and said 'if it was my uncle; he deserved it'#and never explained that comment#which is one of about 500 reasons why i call her gloriously bonkers#sophia my dear psychopath

Honestly unimaginably funny how good Cool Pen is for our mood at the moment. We'll be at university feeling the full effects of the Mental Health Wood Chipper ongoing, rapidly approaching rock bottom, and then we'll get home and look at our Fancy Pen case and it's like that one comic. The one where the endless fog of darkness is instantly dispelled by one seemingly mundane thing. The human brain is a ridiculous machine. omg fountain pens.
#we speak#fountain pen#the monteverse innova formula m in lightning if u were wondering. this one has an omniflex nib#anyways apparently rad has been here for several months and we were not alerted of it#this brain is a cryptic hellhole. buddhist robots are giving us speeches about the value of modularity in design

what does your itch.io username mean? i tried looking it up but didn't find anything 😅
you most likely didn't find anything because i made it up HAHAHA lijiang (豊江) is the name of the fictional ancient northeastern kingdom where the great calamity occurred and guksa (國師/국사) means royal preceptor! so all together the username means the royal preceptor of lijiang. it's a personal joke of mine^^
#anon#john mulaney voice#and i will pepper in hints#it's actually an interesting title#the history behind it was during the silla/goryeo dynasties#buddhist beliefs were at an all-time high#so certain monks were granted the title as an honor#to signal devotion to buddha#even though the royal family actually controlled the temples#seokgatansinil is soon tbh#i want to make a temple visit TAT

the shrine of saint sarah in the church of the saintes-maries-de-la-mer in in the camargue in france. the church itself was built in the 9th century and named for and dedicated to the three marys. a popular french legend goes that they and their maid, sarah, landed on a camargue coast.
saint sarah, or sarah-e-kali (sarah the black, “the black” is a title sometimes given to black/dark-skinned saints) in romani, is the patron saint of roma people in latin catholicism, though she isn't recognized by the catholic church. she is also revered as a protector for marginalized and poor people in general. her origins are thought to lie in a syncretization of the hindu goddess kali, the story of sarah along with the three marys, and the tradition of black madonnas. (christian roma have historically venerated other black madonnas as well.) the church is her major shrine - she's venerated here annually on the 24th of may by roma pilgrims.
#france#romani#interior#worship#christian#my posts#brahmic (hindu buddhist etc) deities are syncretized into a bunch of very specific forms depending on where you look#and one can have a bunch of different forms that are ultimately the same being/idea#it fits perfectly into the concept of saints if you think about it#not that people think saints are gods but the like. manifestations thing#i think there's some syncretic christianity/west african religions/hindu traditions in places 18th/19th century enslaved indians#were shipped to (mostly in central/south america which has a big history of syncretic christianity in general)

oh look, it's a rebind???
I'm not big on rebinding things, for the most part, bc generally I'd like to make a more sturdy copy from the ground up over recycling a paperback.
however. Ewan McGregor was in town for Tokyo Comic Con, I found out the night before the last day, and managed to scoop a ticket (including for a photoshoot!). This was what I could manage in 3 hrs the night before to drop in the gift box. (Very sadly, you couldn't hand them gifts directly?? Not even in the autograph lines.)
I picked this book on Buddhist philosophy to gift, mostly because when I read it, every now and then I'd be struck by the thought that Qui-Gon Jinn would probably quote Thich Nhat Hanh. A lot. So it was a bit funny.
"How To Walk" is a pretty easily understood short work on being mindful and in the present moment just while moving your body around throughout the day. It's about enjoying the movement and capabilities of your body and the environment you are passing through, rather than focusing on your destination.
The cover above is done with colibri cloth and hand foiling. I drew a little pattern for the footsteps, which wraps around the spine of the book to the back (I didnt get a lot of pics, I was in a rush). It has gold speckled edges and chiyogami print endpapers.
#bookbinding#celestial sphere press#buddhist philosophy#thich nhat hanh#temura morrison and daniel logan were also there but i didnt have anything else lying around that i thought was suitable to work with#temura morrison and daniel logan were *also* there but i did not have anything sitting around i could so easily transform#ewan mcgregor#star wars#and also no time#had a good time but i felt so rushed theough the photo lines.#... did ewan call me darling? yes. yes he did.#who knows if this even gets to him its not like i was able to see#oh well

i dont trust people who think Usagi is boring like just say you dont understand her and move along. bye now!!!
#shes either a buddhist or a goth in her regards to life death and survival#she helps others bc others refused to help her#life treated her so poorly but she refused to let that change her perception#rven after her father's death she refused to take out her anger on others#(despite having the right to feel that way based on her own experiences)#((her dad killed himself bc of how horrible other people were to him))#she actively chooses good bc she wants to be that light for others who may have been in her shoes#say “manga Usagi wasnt as active” all you want but just know youre wrong#just bc she wasnt always physically active doesnt mean she wasnt actively doing other things#(like taking care of Arisu as a coping mechanism)#she chooses love light and life ALWAYS bc she knows part of life is to suffer. thats kinda the whole point#but being that good in a sea of darkness is what makes living worthwhile#the only rzn that wasnt the message right off the bat was bc it takes place from Arisu's POV not Usagi's#anyways I LOVE USAGI YUZUHA!!!!!#alice in borderland#ima wa no kuni no alice#usagi yuzuha#yuzuha usagi

Rehab was pretty hit or miss - I met some great people, but the program was very 12 Steps oriented, and I'm more convinced than ever that the 12 Steps is a cult that leads its members to an early death. On the other hand, changing my medication totally killed my desire to drink as did the conviction that I do not want anything to do with the world of recovery
#for some people recovery is their whole life#everyone there had been to every single rehab in the area and even to that one multiple times#and they keep relapsing worse and worse every time and then the program blames and shames them and tells them they're just doing it wrong#and eventually they die. every day they'd tell us one or more former clients just died#groups were too often full of scientific misinformation and led by people who don't know what they're talking about#and I didn't realize this but the format of a 12 step meeting is you say a bunch of prayers someone shares their story there's comment time#and then more prayers#and while I enjoy hearing the stories it's like this could have been a reddit post#but I watched The Big Lebowski for the first time and I read a really good French book called The Elegance of the Hedgehog#I might try a Refuge Recovery meeting. that's a Buddhist program that I think is similar to Dharma Recovery#also I got re-addicted to cigarettes bc smoking is the primary social activity in any rehab. so now I have to quit again#also I think Jeff Bridges looks like Arthur Morgan

i can't stand the fact that solas hates tea like first of all what a weak tasteless bitch. i simply can't respect a tea hater unfortunately. but also drinking tea fits his vibe so well so idgi. I used to work in a tea shop and I can confirm he'd 100% be that customer who is way too pretentious about his taiwanese oolongs. bro is an alishan drinker i can smell it on him. bro only drinks tea prepared gongfu style. i just know this about him.
#in fact i had a regular who was somewhat solas coded#he was bald and wore buddhist monk robes and gave himself a sanskrit name and he was white#i mean perhaps he was actually a monk tbf but he was so incredibly unpleasant as a customer that i didnt give him the benefit of the doubt#he ended up being banned because he was so demanding that the owner had a nightmare about being in an arranged marriage with him#so she kicked him out lol#ftr i don't think solas is like that. just the pretentious part#also he literally had spies which was solas coded. they were other customers he befriended who would gossip about the employees
