❗️Food for thought ❗️

Hypothetically speaking, If curses ceased to exist all of a sudden, would gojo be happy/relieved?

Since it was mentioned/insinuated by nanami I believe in the afterlife chapter that gojo enjoys and gets a sort of thrill from exorcising curses and that’s his motivation to keep going? Idkk I’m kinda confused abt this tbh…. 😭

HELLO

I’m gonna be real with you. I haven’t read that chapter yet KDKFKKFKFKFOF I am reading the manga just not there yet, I’ve taken a break as I’ve been busy but I’m past the anime part so. I do know what you’re talking about, I’ve seen stuff about that. Here are my thoughts. ITS MY OPINION but. Yeah.

So I think it’s very different if curses Didn’t exist and if they Cease to exist. I think if they didn’t exist gojo would just be normal. Well, as normal as his personality allows. But if they cease to exist I think….he would be very confused. His entire life and his entire purpose has been to exorcise curses. He’s never been Satoru Gojo, he’s only ever been Satoru Gojo, the sorcerer with the six eyes and limitless. So I think he may struggle to figure out what to do from here on out. I don’t wanna say he would struggle to find his purpose, cause I don’t think he would ever think it’s that deep, but I do think subconsciously there would be a part of him that would be like Now What. Like he’d have all this free time. He would for sure try a bunch of different hobbies to fill his time. That being said, for someone who was basically groomed into being a sorcerer from birth, I feel like he already has a good foundation of personhood. Like he isn’t this blank slate. I think he would just need to build on that. I could see him enjoying traveling or getting into sports.

I think it’s interesting to think about whether or not he’d still be a teacher or something like that. My gut reaction is No KDJKDJDKDK but maybe. I’ve talked with my friends before about how helpful Gojo is as a person. I think a lot of the reason he’s a teacher is circumstantial, so I’m not sure if he’d like. Want to help students or whatever. But I do think he’s used to being useful, because he’s been treated like a tool his whole life (whether or not he acted like one is up to you, I would say he didn’t. He’s more like a stubborn nail that wouldnt get hammered down). But helpful and useful possibly could go hand in hand…. I don’t know, I’ve heard good debates from both sides, and I don’t really have an opinion. But if he was a teacher, that could be another way for him to fill his time and to be less bored, or to feel useful.

Anyway. I think Gojo would see it from an objective point of view. Curses are bad. Curses cease to exist. That’s good, right? He would see it as good. I think he would have two outlooks. On one hand I think he would be happy because curses are bad. But on another hand I think a part of him would be like hmmmmmm…. But not in like a disappointed way. He would just have to figure out how to live his life. I think above all else he’d just be bored. Of course he would be happy that curses ceased to exist, but I think he wouldn’t have a major reaction to that part. I think the main thing is now he has to figure who he is as a person and what he wants to do. He’d finally get to be Satoru Gojo, whoever that really is. Did this answer your question? I hope so.

Give me a Percy Jackson who hates swim team. Who went to a public pool for swim lessons once when he was five and started to sob the second his skin hit the water

give me a Percy Jackson who is always just the slightest bit unsettled at pools because water is never meant to have the life sucked out of it and be divided into lanes or put in boxes in the ground

Water isn’t meant to be contained.

a percy jackson whose skin feels like it’s slowly beginning to burn when he tries to swim in chlorinated water, who hates any set swim stroke with a passion and can’t stick to one for the life of him

who doesn’t understand why you’d want to keep only to the surface of the water, when being cradled under the surface is everything

because swimming is supposed to be like the tides, maybe patterned, but never identical, it’s supposed to be flowing with the world around you as you please

Give me a Percy Jackson who loves the sheer nature of water so much that he can’t help but quietly despise our “pools” and their dead water with their constricted sides and restrictions on what it means to change with the world around you

A Percy Jackson who is the child of water in its most natural state, and who can hardly bear to see the way society has attempted to contain it and sterilize it and strip away its power

He hates swim team, but that’s only the half of it

As much as I love “Zoro fell first” hc’s I feel like “Sanji fell first Zoro fell harder” tickles me more because hear me out: Sanji’s emotional intelligence would allow him to spot Zoro’s crush on him a mile away but this man understands everyone’s emotions but his own! He would slowly develop feelings for Zoro under layers of denial, self hate, internalised homophobia and insecurity, and he’d (unconsciously) show these feelings for Zoro through how he and Zeff had been interacting, AKA very emotionally repressed “insults as affection” “begrudging acts of service” Asian immigrant dad type love. What’s worse is he’d already accepted the fact that him and Zoro would never be a thing, both on his end (MEN?? In love???) and regarding Zoro’s reciprocity (he’d never love ME). With Zoro being a blockhead he’d never pick up on Sanji’s thoughts =/= words =/= actions type love.

Zoro on the other hand is someone who once realises what he wants, would 100% pursue it hell be damned, so pining insecure Zoro doesn’t feel that probable. At the most he’d be scared that a rift between him and Sanji would harm the crew, but this would be quickly solved by him consulting Luffy and getting the green light. Anyways I think SOMETHING has to happen for Zoro to suddenly see Sanji in a different light, then his respect-bordering-on-crush feelings for Sanji just whack him in the head like a brick, and he never goes back. Something like Sanji sacrificing himself for Zoro or a similar traumatising incident that makes him go “shit, I gotta marry the cook.” And rest assured Zoro would confront Sanji about it because he doesn’t need anyone’s permission to like Sanji and he doesn’t care what Sanji thinks about it, if he’s grossed out by it then he can fight him like a man!!

I have read Fellowship of the Ring more times than I have cared to keep count and every time I read Boromir’s, well, possession for lack of a better word, I have read it in fear, in discomfort, in horror, indifferently.

This was, I think, the first time I read it in pity. I looked at all the plans Boromir was making, how he would save his beloved city, how obstinate he was in his belief that the men of Minas Tirith would not be corrupted when wielding the Ring against Sauron —and I felt sad. He’s waving his hands and hollering and part of him is desperate just for the Ring, of course he is, he’s been traveling beside it with no hope for months, but he’s also desperate for hope. He’s desperate for a chance to save his people, save his brother, save his city.

Moreover, every time he calls out the Elves or the Wizards, you have to remember that he doesn’t know them. All he knows is that he traveled almost a full year to get their advice and they send him on, in his eyes, a hopeless venture. The one hope they give him is Aragorn, who promises to return and help save Minas Tirith with him, but even that all changes once Gandalf dies. They come to Lothlorien and of course it’s a welcome break, but they cannot, or maybe in Boromir’s eyes will not, help his people. And once they leave, Aragorn assumes his role as leader of the Fellowship in Gandalf’s stead more permanently and suddenly even that one, brief, uncertain hope of his is gone. Aragorn will follow Frodo. And it’s almost certain that Frodo will not go to Minas Tirith.

So is it any wonder, really, that tired, desperate, hopeless Boromir, out of his realm, out of his depth, already hanging by a thread when he joins the Fellowship and having been gnawed on by the Ring for months upon months afterwards, finally snaps once it’s clear that he will have to return home empty-handed and almost certain that somewhere far away Sauron is capturing the Ring and killing the companions that he had bonded with? Of course part of the Ring is making him lust for power, but it’s also his only “reliable” (in his mind) source of hope left to save his city.

And so I read Boromir’s (intelligent and thought out, mind you) raving and I don’t feel scared for Frodo, not after reading it so many times and knowing what ultimately happens, but sorrow for Boromir.

i’ve seen tweets/posts from people saying that anyone who donated to the ofmd renewal billboard should get beaten with hammers and i just. come on, man

you want other queer people to die bc they spent, on average, $30 on something they really like. i spent about that much on a new sauce pan yesterday. should i also get beaten to death with hammers bc i bought guitar picks instead of donating to a charity your personally approve of. what’s the line here.

you have every right to be furious that the world seems to keep turning while there are horrific tragedies happening somewhere else. but like. how much of yelling at strangers on the internet is mitigating that tragedy. how much shaming is putting food in the mouths of starving people. what’s the point?

are you using your anger productively? or are you burning yourself out bc everything feels hopeless? are you lashing out at strangers bc you feel like it’s the only way you can have an impact?

what’s the point??

‘Danmei is mlm fantasy written by and for straight women’ is a lie. It’s written for transmascs and lesbians obviously.

My favourite thing about Leia is how fucking soft she is.

Like she is a little lady. She speaks very gently. She cares so much. She’s protective and warm. She just smiles and looks so happy. With Luke. Like, only Luke.

In the movies, this is also the case, but it really is one of my favourite parts of the 2015 run of the comics. They’re like, Leia: “Luke is doing great” while Luke is in the background getting thrown through a wall.

Sana (I love Sana) says she’ll won’t take Leia to Nar Shaddaa (to Luke) for free and Leia immediately offers her credits. When Sana is like “nah, just give me Han” Leia immediately agrees, and like. It’s funny for a variety of reasons but my favourite one is that Leia is trading Han for the Chance of seeing Luke.

And like, the comics show Leia telling Luke that she supports him even though he has to leave and she is very sad about it. She’s super disappointed she doesn’t get to go on the long probably meant-to-be boring mission with him. She just wants to hang out with Luke and make sure he’s okay and try not to lose him in the first fifteen minutes (again) or fifteen minutes after finding him again (also again).

I mean, it isn’t just Leia, I fucking adore Chewbacca’s relationship with Luke because. “Who would be stupid enough to volunteer to go on a doomed rescue mission for Skywalker-“ and it’s Chewbacca, Chewbacca is stupid enough, Chewbacca has the ship idling in the hangar, Chewbacca has had a Luke Rescue Kit in the ship since Luke left a week ago, Chewbacca is so ready to go on a doomed, borderline suicidal rescue mission for Luke.

Chewbacca just beats up a bar full of people to get them to tell him where Luke is. Like, that’s amazing. It’s adorable. He makes C3PO come with him. A wonderful idea. Chewbacca eventually picks Luke up like Like is a big cat. My favourite panel of all time.

Chewbacca and Leia are both over there like “I’ve only had Luke for three and a half months and if anything happened to him, I would kill all of you to get enough blood to perform an ancient ritual to make him perfectly alright again and I would start with Han.”

Han, meanwhile, is over there like “rude. Understandable, but still. Super rude.”

And I just think how soft Leia is with Luke is really sweet and how soft Chewbacca is with Luke is really cute and how both of them are so sarcastic to Han for literally no reason other than that they Thrive with his annoyance-

It’s great. If nobody else gets the characters, the 2015 run comes the closest.

I need a kind of innocent name for Dark to have initially in the Incredibles au. Like how Syndrome’s real name is Buddy. Like something like that. Except I haven’t thought of anything good despite stewing over it for ages

How fucked up would it be if the real experiment of the Social Experiments beyond Showfall testing out a live audience with their show was them actually genuinely shutting off their control on Ranboo and maybe temporarily(?) Charlie’s during act 3 (while having the full ability to flip it back on if/when wanted) to see what they would do and how they would react if they ever actually started to broke free, so Showfall would be able to predict and squash any attempts at getting out if something ever went wrong with their fan favorites in the future.

Gojo is failing his own class

Sukuna, Megumis shikigami, Rika, and Slaughter Demon all have their own accounts, despite being.. them (they also need an education ig)

The fact Yuji is “execution” despite Sukuna NOT having that, implies that Yuji is so bad at this class, he’s getting executed.

Megumi summons Mahoraga for class, and is actually trying, considering that it doesn’t have the worst score. Same is true for: Sukuna, all the Shikigami, and Slaughter Demon.

Slaughter Demon is the ONLY weapon (that Maki uses) with an account. And it’s doing better than some others.

Rika has the (second) lowest score, but Yuta has the highest, implying Yuta does not allow Rika to cheat off of him

Yuta, the one who wasn’t in class (given the 1st years also have accounts) has the highest score, which is 1, which is also considered failing. But it’s over 200 points better than everyone else

Zoro is here (he got lost)

As a continuation of this ask that I responded to, all the things I mentioned are just parts of the overall issue I have with Blades…. which is that, in the grand scheme of things, I feel like MC is simply a plot device for the other characters rather than a fully developed character who has a fully developed and satisfying arc herself. It’s clear that Nia’s is the story the writers really wanted to tell considering how intertwined her characterization/development and the overall world building are. They basically even admitted as much.

So my question is why not just make her the MC if that’s really what you wanted on the not so down low? They still could’ve incorporated the skill mechanic. Why create a whole player character just to have us running to solve everyone else’s problems/support them while acting like everything that happens to us exists inside of a vacuum in the meantime? So far, all we’ve really been doing in this book is reporting where the group needs to go, telling them what to do, having heart to hearts with them when they need help moving to the next stage of their development, and then being spoonfed information through the lore tablets, which are apparently more for the players’ benefit than MC’s since they barely affect how we respond in game anyway. I’m fine with being the leader or the glue that holds everyone together, but to me it’s unsatisfying that that’s all we are as the main character.

We somehow become more competent due to the skill mechanic but no less clueless at the same time. We have all this terrible shit happen to us, but are only offered a few lines’ description of how that’s affected us. And then the rest of the attention goes to setting up the light vs. shadow conflict and our friends, who get to have personal and compelling conflicts of their own. I mean I feel like MC is more of an emotional support animal to them than an actual person with dreams, feelings, and a (minimal) background. Imo the only character who’s getting shafted almost as much as us is Imtura.

And all of this might make it sound like I hate Blades, but it’s quite the contrary actually. It’s still one of my favorite series and has a lot of fun moments and lovable characters. But I think at this point, its flaws have become too large for me to ignore. So that’s still affecting my enjoyment a bit and probably the reason why I’m so upset with how certain things are being handled. Of course I’m aware that Blades isn’t the only book that has some of these issues though. I think it’s just a little more disappointing because I expected more

HOME!! this elderly lady who was walking her dog stopped me and my best friend on the side of the road, so we pet her dog for a while. she was telling us about how she got her Rosie for $75 off of craigslist and some of the health issues she was having (nothing serious). rosie was a small-ish dog that looked like a mutt. i couldnt tell what she was and neither could she. i told her how that was a good thing because it means that there’s a lesser chance of her being inbred, healthier overall^^ then she asked if i was a vet tech because i was giving off big nerd energy i guess. i said no, that i just liked animals and she made the most sincere expression ive ever seen and held out her hand to me n said“oh you are so smart..” she was very sweet lol. very softspoken, a little timid, she cared a ton about her dog. meanwhile rosie was climbing All over us. i told her our names and she told us hers and then we all went home because there was loud construction nearby and it was super hot out. i really enjoyed talking to her but i felt bad because my best friend was just standing there waiting. but she didn’t mind…! this old british lady i watch on youtube (she always talks about knitting or her day-to-day in regular vlogs. i originally watched her because her voice was soothing but now i genuinely like her. her name is Jan!!) mentioned how you should go out of your way to talk to the elderly more often because that may be the only conversation they’ll have that day. it stuck with me and now i appreciate the times i talk with them way more. i hope you have a lovely night miss gretchen…^_^
