─── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ── ─── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ── ─── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ──•

Gojo Satoru ♡°

This man will bend either way and by either way I mean he is fine with a tall, charismatic woman who has a mature aura or a short and easily flustered woman. It doesn't matter as long as she is loyal to fault, won't leak secrets, and is impressed with the efforts that he makes for her.

Nanami Kento ♡°

Nanami will love a girl who has a bubbly aura to her. He needs a woman who makes him get out of his comfort zone and try new things with her. Imaginative girls who are constant sparks of creativity and bubbling with excitement. A woman as hardworking as him but will always make time for him.

Itadori Yuji ♡°

Yuji doesn't require much from a woman, as long as she's kindhearted and impressive in her own way. He loves women who are interesting without trying and appreciate him for who he is.

Fushiguro Megumi ♡°

Megumi is the type of guy to like a woman who's firm with her own decisions but not headstrong. A woman who is not swayed by criticism but not arrogant. Since he's a listener, he needs a talkative person that whom he can engage in a conversation. An approachable person with a strong and interesting personality. (Basically a female version of Yuji)

Ryomen Sukuna ♡°

This man is sexist as fuck (He's also sexy as fuck) and if he ever falls for anyone, it would be for a woman whose beauty is unique. She shouldn't be pretty based on stereotypical beauty standards and attractive in her own way. A woman who he thinks deserves to be in the same standing as him. The type that will punch him in the face, doesn't fear getting punched back and makes out with him later on in bed.

[moonveiltarot]

hi, hope you're having a great day or night <3 i'm here to join your game. i would like to know what Gojo Satoru (Jujutsu Kaisen) would think of me, and would prefer the 18+ ver. his hair color is white and as for his eyes, it's blue. his height is 190 cm/6'3". my favorite thing about his personality is how he's actually a sweet and serious man behind his childish demeanor i've alr followed you through my main acc @parkjayssi .hope i haven't messed up any rules. welcome to the tarot community and thank you<333

💗Hello, Tina! I'm Loren. Thank you for welcoming me into the community.

Coincidentally I was learning about Gojo the other day! I'm glad I did that before I logged in.

Spirit has a unique way of bringing people together.

I'm using the Starspinner Tarot, my own oracle deck that I haven't published yet and some charms too.

Gojo is quite popular!

You haven't messed anything up. I like Toji's ... massive size. And appetite. And how he's impoverished. To be completely fair, I only know of the characters from edits, youtube essays and fluff/smut from tumblr. I asked chatGPT about Gojo earlier too and it said he's got good stroke game. Then I got in trouble for violating the policy. BUT ANYWAY

on to the reading!

♡ 𝐇𝐎𝐖 𝐇𝐄 𝐒𝐄𝐄𝐒 𝐘𝐎𝐔

✧･ﾟCards Starspinner Tarot: 3 of Sword rev, The Sun, The High Priestess

My Oracle: Villain (reversed), Hero. This is already so cute omfg

Charms: teeny white heart, pink carriage, cherry blossom, pink crown

You are his ideal of a divine feminine woman. He can see you having his babies. You make him feel like less of a villain in your presence. He sees you as a pure, heroic person. You are like a light in the darkness to him. He feels like you could be his dream come true. He think your presence is healing and that you intuitively know what to say or do to cheer him up. He thinks you're so lovely. He almost idolizes you. You're not "like him," is what he thinks. You're so pure, just like pure white light.

He enjoys being near you and just watching you exist, doing your own thing.

You're pretty to look at and he'd probably stare. From like 500 feet away while he's busy doing something else. Or when he's close. If you caught his eye he would wait until you two were introduced unless he had to save you from something. He would probably watch you from afar for a while, just doing your thing, being perfectly content in your little world.

You're not someone he'd just walk past. He would stop and stare, mid walk, and ask whoever is closest to him “who's that?” You are exactly his type and he probably didn't even know he had a type. Until he saw you doing your thing, probably being all heroic just because it comes naturally to you. Immediately got his attention. Normally he'd walk on past a civilian whether he saved them or not, but not you. Mans was stopped in his tracks.

You probably had to stand up to him for being morally flexible / non-chalant. Maybe you saved a kitten from a tree or even protected a civilian by throwing yourself in front of them. Maybe you protected someone, but got hurt as a result, because he was being a dickhead while using his techniques or something. He really admired you for telling him what a dumb ass he was and that he should at least make it up to you.

Since you stood up to him, he might enjoy making you mad on purpose, hoping you'll hit him. For some reason he really likes to be put in his place.

He doesn't want other men looking at you.

He might think you're incredibly unlucky for becoming the object of his desire. He feels like he needs to make it up to you all the time, even when he doesn't have to. You might have to tell him not to buy you things all the time. He's deeply infatuated with you though and he'd throw himself in front of however many bullets he had to just to keep you safe. Which would work because nothing can touch him without his consent.

I am getting this vibe like you'd seriously reject him. He's an ENTP, so I know he'd become obsessed with you. He would fantasize about you being his baby mother and having his children.

Once he decided he liked you, that's that. He sees you as being on the same wave length as he is, you rank as highly as he does in terms of “not like normal people.” He would shamelessly voice this. He chose you. He's marrying you. He's loyal as f to you. That is all there is.

♡ 𝐈𝐍𝐓𝐈𝐌𝐀𝐂𝐘 𝐖𝐈𝐓𝐇 𝐇𝐈𝐌

✧･ﾟCards

Starspinner Tarot: 2 of Pentacles, The World, Death

My Oracle:Light Feminine, Guilty, Spiritual Court reversed, Sugar Daddy reversed

Charms: guard (from alice in wonderland, those cards that protected the red queen, like knights I think, it's the ace of hearts), black clover, unicorn w/ black maine and tail, unicorn headband, blue star, black crown

Like it said above, you're his type.

Since you aren't throwing yourself at him, he would be intrigued by you.

He thinks you really are too pure for him. He would flirt with you, heavily. He finds you great at conversation, which is something he doesn't get a lot of. Others don't seem to "get" him, but you understand him perfectly. After each crass thing he says, you would say something that would have him befuddled. I see him feeling a bit astounded at times too. Like "Damn, she really replied like that?"

He's confused about his abilities to seduce you, since women typically can't wait to jump into bed with him. You are stimulating to his brain and he keeps prodding because he wants to know more. You give him food for thought and that makes him enjoy the process even more.

In fact, he thinks you're a rare specimen just like him – even more so in the bedroom.

He wants to corrupt you, but can tell it will take some mind games to get to you.

Aside from his insecurities he would definitely use underhanded tactics to get you to lower your defenses. Not in a malicious way, but in a way that draws out the real you. That part of you who is under lock and key and wants to rip off his clothes. He can tell you want to be intimate with him because you keep staring into his eyes. It's hard not to when he's that close after all.

He would make sure he had your consent like for small things first, like"is it okay if I scoot a little closer?" And then he'd scoot like an inch. Then a few minutes after he got you talking he would scoot closer and closer until he's up in your face almost. I can see him pretending to drink, like holding his drink to the side so you can't tell it's still full.

He'll make a dorky joke here and there, but somewhere in the conversation you would notice he's being more serious. And he's somehow closer to you.

Ah, there's a “death” reference too. The four leaf clover. Four in Japan, China and Korea can have the numerical association to “death” or “misfortune.” Considering it was a four leaf clover, clovers typically representing luck and it was the color black, along with the death card … I think, he would think you assumed he's dead. If he showed back up in your life he would have to make up for lost time and being away for so long. For the emotional turmoil and grief he put you through.

There is some lore somewhere that he doesn't like to drink, I believe. He probably would try to get you to drink before he made a move, so you would be more accepting of his advances. He sees you as wifey material and I'm getting “worship” vibes.

He would feel like it would be really bad luck to treat you like one of the women he just uses for sexual gratification. He would take his time and invest in you.

I don't think foreplay would much of a thing, but his way of flirting with you has you in. the. Mood. He would show up with some expensive thing, kiss your cheek and have a conversation with you. Real “grown up” behavior.

And trust he would spend whatever he had to make you feel good. Instead of looking at you like an object, he would invest time, attention and however much money it takes. He wants you for the long haul, so he'd put it down as soon as you gave him the green light.

He's got blue eyes and can be pretty charming from what I've read. The cards reiterate this. His ability to lighten the mood would probably be what works to break the tension and intense eye contact. If he already “died” then he would be making it up to you for hours and hours once you're both finally alone together.

He's the type to have incredible stroke game. He puts in the effort to be the best you've ever had. He would start with a hand on your inner thigh once you're comfortable enough with him He's good at reading the energy between you two.

Whatever it takes to keep you pregnant... You would make him the most gorgeous babies ever and he would treasure you so much. He would do anything for you. He would learn as much as possible about things he can do to induce pleasure. Mostly for you. He is intuitive to your needs and would do anything you wanted to, as long as you let him know your boundaries. In conclusion: Nothing is off the table for this man.

He's all or nothing in relationships, so it wouldn't be any different for you. He loves you with his soul.

And he's smart as Hell, so he'd know if you were uncomfortable or unhappy. He wouldn't be able to rest until you were satisfied both in bed and otherwise. The man wants an entire life with you.

You put him in his divine masculine energy and make him feel like he's the man. I hope that wasn't too bad. D:

[kaycode1999]

Hi! Can you please match me with someone from jjk or Naruto?

I'm a female, heterosexual, pronouns she/her.

My personality type is INFP, but I'm more like, an ambivert with overactive imagination,and I tend to yap on and on about animes/books I find interesting. I'm slightly whimsical, laid back and always joking around (only with Friends). But I tend to get emotional over stuff that happens in books. And I don't get angry easily unless it's someone close to me who has offended me. And I'm not good with unfamiliar people, or crowds, and especially men. Maybe even a little terrified of them

My hobby is mostly reading books and listening to music. I sketch, though rarely. My another hobby is writing shitty fanfictions at times.

My ideal type would be.. someone a lot older than me? 😅 And mature, intelligent sort. Preferably with a big build. And it's optional, but I guess he's gotta be sort of a mentor figure.

Okay, that's all! Thank you in advance!

Unfortunately I don’t know anything about Naruto

But I would be happy to do Jujutsu Kaisen

I match you with

Satoru Gojo

He appreciates that you’re a mix of introvert and extrovert just like him

He is definitely extroverted, but all the pressure of being the strongest *from his clan and the jujutsu world* can take a toll. Sometimes he just needs some quiet time to himself to decompress

He finds your overactive imagination entertaining and adorable

He loves it when you yap on about stuff because he’s usually the one doing the yapping. It gives him a break and he just loves hearing you go on about your interests

Loves the whimsy and joking around, and if you can add on to a joke he’s made that’s a bonus

Will pat your back and try to soothe you if you’re emotional about something you’re reading

He likes to tease and annoy more so than anything offensive, but if he does offend you he will apologize

When it comes to crowds or unfamiliar people he has no problem taking the lead if you want

He’ll also hold your hand if you get anxious and need some comfort

I don’t think he’s that into reading but if he sees a book he thinks/knows you’ll enjoy he’s gonna get it

He likes hanging out and listening to music with you

I do think he’s your ideal type. I’m not sure how old you are but he is 28, when it matters he is mature and intelligent, he’s calculating in what he needs to do to protect the most people.

He’s tall so he has a bigger frame

He’s definitely a mentor figure to his students even though he likes to annoy them and act silly a lot of times

[anime97-99]

Jujutsu Kaisen

So I’m actually mad because there’s a lot of manga readers that likes to critic without really knowing what jjk is about.

. They say that Gege is misogynist because there are only a few women and all of them apart of Maki are dead, and Maki is alive because she is like Toji a man. It looks like they are forgotting the whole aniquilattion arc by Maki, yes, the objetive is to show that Maki can be, as a woman, as strong as the most powerful Zenin, Toji, or even stronger, destroying their conservative thoughts. Showing that women and men are equals. And Gege shows diversity with Kirara and Uraume’s characters that I love. Megumi is also probably pansexual because of the way he described his ideal type, which also matches suspiciously with Yuuji’s name meaning unwavering compassion (probably a wrong interpretation because of Japanese use of honorifics)

(Mai could also be bi as shown in jujutsu strolls written by Gege, when she felt attracted to Takada)

If there are a few women in the jujutsu world is because it was said in the manga that the higher ups believe it to be a world of men and Nobara corrected it saying that she is just Nobara and a sorcerer, nothing more nothing less, genre doesn’t matter. But at the same time it explains why there are only a few women because of the conservative thoughts still lingering.

And everyone equally dies, it is more noticiable in female characters because they only are a few. Basically Gege expose discrimination as a existing problem which is bad and wrong and has to change.

. The other part is that jjk has a bad time pace, I have to say that I agree with this. Jjk has a extremely fast pace which has cons and pros. A slow pace story, for example one piece, will let the author to deal with a better development of the story and characters, but can become boring and the story can lose purpose and focus missing the objetive and the meaning behind it. The fast pace makes the story have plot holes because of bad explain story or half develop characters, but can be more entertaining because it goes directly to the important parts.

Now both extremes are bad, and we know that all mangankas doesn’t work alone and the editors play a really important part.

Jjk because of these fast pace has suffer from critics with how Gege plays with emotions and impactful moments, Gege likes to kill characters to show that human lives are “fleeting” as Sukuna said. 

It doesn’t matter if you are the strongest your human nature is volatile like a flower like Yuuji’s name, which contains the meaning of humanity and flower, it is a metaphor that uses Gege the same with the love and the butterfly trapped in the spiderweb.

It is true that it would be better that the pace was slower to take more time with each character, still if you have curiosity you can read the novels and official books which are canon and contain more information, for example that Nobara was trained by her grandmother, which was a sorcerer…

. In jjk there are a lot of fights because first is a shonen manga and second they are constantly being attack for the enemy, and Gege puts a lot of effort in explaining the techniques which are really diverse and interesting, for example I really like Kirara and Hakari domains. My favorite is Megumi domain and Yuuta’s ability to mimic others techniques.

. Jujutsu Kaisen for me is really good and one of my favorites, I have read a lot of different mangas of all different genres and I would say that it’s one of the best in the shonen genre, “Shonen is defined as a genre of anime and manga from Japan that targets young male audiences. However, though they target a young male audience, they are often enjoyable for all ages and genders. Generally, they are usually a little cleaner and focus on action, adventure, and fighting storylines”. Definition of shonen from movieweb

I wish for the author to continue the story, for the end of the series there’s a chance that the villains are going to win or the cm win but the end is going to be sour, Gege said there is no bad and no good characters and I believe that is the case even with Sukuna, most powerful curse=love most twisted curse, and he was originally human.

[fairy-writes]

i saw your match-ups were open again and iʼm here to take the opportunity for a few male match-ups 😌 (even though it makes me feel second hand embarrassments smh) i think i followed the rules correctly,,,,

iʼd like male match-ups for JJK, BSD and fire force

iʼm like, quiet and almost shy around strangers but more energetic with friends (still the “no energy” Type™ tho)

iʼve got a pretty laid-back personality and my way of thinking is down to earth

i like to sleep, read/write (... create ocʼs, lol), paint and go out with friends, especially if it involves food food!!

idk if iʼm supposed to add my personality type (?) but itʼs infj and generally a mix of hufflepuff and slytherin characteristics

if youʼre busy with other stuff, please donʼt feel pressured to write this! :p

Hey friend! You followed the rules great! I hope you like your matchups! <3

Jujutsu Kaisen Matchup: I pair you with… Nanami Kento!

While Nanami isn’t the most outgoing person, he is calm and collected and helps bring you out of your shell when it comes to people you don’t know. He’s your rock. He appreciates your way of thinking and down to earth personality. It’s a breath of fresh air from Gojo’s daily antics.

His ideal date would be going out to a restaurant and having some sort of activity afterward, like a walk on the beach or through the park, so going out for food would definitely be on his list of things to do! In addition, he greatly admires your ability to paint and sometimes asks you to teach him because while he may be a good jujutsu sorcerer, he doesn’t have many hobbies.

Also, I HC Nanami as a Ravenclaw or a Slytherin! So you guys match well in that department as well!

Bungou Stray Dogs Matchup: I pair you with… Dazai Osamu!

A bit of a change from Nanami, but he still loves you just as much! Another guy who appreciates your down-to-earth way of thinking, but on the other hand, Dazai does like to drag you into his playful schemes (not his dangerous ones, though, never those) in bugging Kunikida or Atsushi.

One of his favorite things is to cuddle while he naps (usually during work) or at home when he’s trying to sleep. He sleeps better knowing you’re there and not captured or, worse yet, killed by the mafia.

Also, this man is a Slytherin through and through, but Hufflepuff’s and Slytherin’s make the cutest couples, in my opinion!

Fire Force Matchup: I pair you with… Shinmon Benimaru!

I feel like Benimaru is a bit of a mix of the two men above. He’s not quite as stoic as Nanami but still not as crazy and collected as Dazai. But he has his quirks and ways of showing affection.

Given your way of thinking, he often asks for help with problems when dealing with leading a Fire Force Brigade. He doesn’t make you work persay, but he appreciates your input when filling out paperwork. He also loves your laid-back personality as it doesn’t get on his nerves and even helps keep him calm if he gets particularly riled up.

Now I HC Benimaru as a Gryffindor? I haven’t really thought about it, but he seems to fit the mold! Gryffindors and Hufflepuff’s have an interesting dynamic, so I think you guys fit really well!

[linkspooky]

Your analysis on shigaraki's worldview is 😍😍😍. Who's your fav bnha character btw, and what kind of manga are you into? (i mean as in genre, but my phrasing is terrible at times so idk how to put it all in the last sentence)

My favorite manga in the whole world are the manga that run in Weekly Shonen Jump. I read almost everything that runs in the magazine from week to week. I know that’s not technically a genre, but let’s not arguen semantics. 

And now because no one asked for it, my opinion on all of the manga currently running through Jump that I read. 

Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba usually manga in shonen jump slowly get worse over time as they try to stretch their stories out, but Kimetsu no Yaiba is a story that continues to develop on itself and improve the longer it runs. 

The art is phenomenal and has a good balance of when to be silly and when to be drop dead gorgeous. It’s more of an ensemble piece tied together by a big brother trying to save his little sister, and because of that almost every character Tanjirou interacts with is fun and really immediately attention grabbing. 

It’s also a pretty heavy story that deals with death, grief and loss and trying to find life beyond a world that has suffering like that. I’m actually planning to make some meta of it soon, especially with the interactions between Domi and Shinobu. My only real complaint is that it’s deep but not too deep. Usually the demons are always bad and the demon slayers are always good in the end, even if sympathy is expressed for some of the demons. Once again though it does so well in the technical aspects of telling the story it wants to tell. 

My Hero Academia it’s pretty obvious that I like it. The biggest draws for me are the art style and the characters, specifically the villains. Also the idea of a reverse X men world where what are basically the mutants now outnumber normal people and dominate society is a fantastic idea for world building with a lot of options. 

I’ve actually followed Horikoshi’s work for a long time. His two previous works, Oumagodoki Zoo and Barrage both ran in Shonen Jump for a short time before they were cancelled which I find really unfortanate because they both had a lot of potential as well. 

I love both the hero kids and the villains, though sometimes I feel like the villains are more connected to the central conflict of the story than the heroes. It would be nice to see Deku evolve a more radical philosophy then just wanting to save people right in front of him, or protecting the status quo. The heroes should ideally act in response to the villains to create a better world and resolve a problem the villains brought up, but if say the League of Villains were wiped out now another League would be created later because the central problem of the story has not been dealt with. 

Dr. Stone this is a series that almost got cancelled, but was saved by a main character switch. Senku is really likable and unique as a character, kind of a mad scientist archetype who turns out to be the good guy and the hero of the story.

He reminds me a lot of Yoichi from the writers previous work, Eyeshield 21. In that they’re both laughing mad eccentrics who seem like they have little scruples for how they use and treat other people, and yet are surrounded by friends and act as the leaders of their team. They also both have a tendency for strategy over brute strength and like to outwit their opponents. 

The only thing I can say about Dr. Stone is that while the characters are a fun little group of oddballs, they rarely get any deeper than that. The most interesting thing is still figuring out the central mystery of the world and what happened to turn everybody to stone, which is why having Senku as a main character was a really smart move on the series part. 

Yozakura Family This is a new series that I actually really like and hope beats canellation at the two week mark. It’s kind of your basic romantic comedy characters get married in the first chapter promise, but also there’s some really strong character writing with the older brother. He’s one of the few examples of the obsessive and overprotective brother type that was portrayed as actually abusive and damaging for seeing his younger sister that way. 

The premise also reminds me a lot of Katekyo Hitman Reborn, just suddenly getting sucked into the underworld of spies and crimminals when you’re an unlucky loser with no social skills. If the character writing is as strong as it is for the brother I can definitely see a lot of improvement and staying power. 

The Promised Neverland the smartest written series in Shonen Jump write now with the best ideas. The Promised Neverland is all about theme, theme, theme, theme, which is why someone like me who devours stories for their nutritious value and content loves it. 

While there are only about three major characters with arcs that matter to the plot, Norman, Ray, and Emma they are some of the deepest characters in shonen jump currently and the complexity of their relationship and the way they all foil each other is superb.

It’s a story about children trying to escape a neverland where they can never grow up, and live in a world that never wanted them alive. Not only is it just about them though, it’s also about adults who are still inside the system and gave up at one point or another and decided to just live in the evil world rather than change it. It’s a deep story but it’s also undeniably shonen jump, the central theme is about not giving up even in a world that is determined to deny your existence. 

Act Age If you’ve read Chihayafuru this manga has a lot in common with that, because both of them are about very singleminded girls with complex emotions that they themselves don’t understand, finding themselves completely enveloped in a niche hobby to the point of obsession. 

Act-Age is a story that’s primarily about storytelling and the nature of stories themselves, with each arc focusing on an adaptation of either a movie made up for the sake of the story or a pre-written play ie, Journey to the West, Night on the Galactic Railroad. However, it’s also bout the nature of stories, as understood by the perspectie of an actor. 

There are only a few major characters but they all get intensely developed in their arcs. My absolute favorite relationship is that of the main character, quiet on the surface but with deep emotions that she uses for her acting talent with her rival an actress that’s much more like a pop star or idol. Rather than having deep talent she instead uses her ability to read people to appeal to them. She is cheerful and lively on the surface, but empty inside. The way they envy each other and learn to grow from each other because each of them has what the other one desires. 

Jujutsu Kaisen reminds me of really early bleach that was just Ichigo and his teenage friends fighting Hollows. This is one of the manga I definitely reccomend, because it’s one of the lesser known manga in jump currently. The art style has this scratchy look about it which really adds well to the horror aspect of the series. It’s a demon fighting anime with some of the best demon designs, more attention is put on making them look grotesque and scary then in series like KNY where the demons for the most part are pretty good looking still. 

The main trio is very solid, a reckless idiot who swallowed a cursed finger in the first chapter and is continually dealing with the consequences of that, the shadowy, quiet type cool headed one who almost never talks about his past or his true feelings on the matter, and between them the cheerful girl whose a tad on the merciless side. 

Not only are the characters good, but it’s one of the few series where the fights and lore are super interesting. Rather than dealing with demons directly Kimetsu no Yaiba style we deal with curses, which are generated from the human subconscious. 

For exmaple one of the villains Mahito is the embodiment of the fear humans have for other humans, that is the anxieties of life, and the fear and suppressed feelings that go hand in hand with humanity. Because that he’s much like a child curse quickly learning and progressing with a human intelligence. 

The fights, the powers of characters, they’re all used to further develop a really interesting world of curses and the people who live dealing with them that it feels like we’re only scratching the surface of right now and desperately makes you want to figure out the system they have in place for this entire world. 

Yui Kamio Lets Loose - I find it to be a really sweet romantic comedy about a stuck up boy obsessed with appearances and what other people think of him falling in love with two sides of a girl, the uncontrollable Yui that beat him up and constantly gets into fights and trouble, and the perfect demure girl who can only ever be helpless and kind and needs to be protected. It has a feel of a lot of classic 80s high school romantic comedies. The only real problem is that it needs to acquire a plot fast, because it’s at risk for cancellation which makes it hard for me to get invested in a series that might end soon. 

Double Taisei - One of those shonen manga that had a really interesting beginning chapter, but then failed to do anything with it. I think it would work well as a character piece between two personalities who act like brothers in the same body, but the characters aren’t strong enough quite yet to work that way. I do like the character design… 

Tokyo Shinobi Squad - It looked like a ripoff at first but the main character is actually fairly different from Naruto, and the manga itself is uniquely its own thing. I just hope it learns to utilize it’s cyberpunk setting better, because ninjas fighting in a cyberpunk dystopia is a very tropey premise and the story needs to utilize those tropes in order to work. I do like the fact that the main character starts out pretty powerful so it’s not a typical shonen formula about a main character slowly learning to gain power, instead it’s him taking in and being responsible for a kid. 

Manga I don’t read - One piece, Yuuna of the Haunted Hotsprings, Chainsawman, Samurai 8 the tale of Hachimaru, Beast Children, Miitama Security Busters.

hey, so i thought maybe you could tell us a little what you're currently interested in? ♥ like, what have you been doing during quarantine, are there any new shows you watched that you enjoyed a lot, did you maybe take up a new hobby or something? :)

Hello!! I did not forget this lovely message, I was just in no state to answer (who’d have thought that recovery from surgery is, y’know, taxing) BUT I’M BACK NOW and ohhhh do you know what you’ve unlocked by asking me this question...?? I cannot give you a comprehensive list but I can tell you a couple of the things that I got into during quarantine, and the things I am currently super passionate about! My memory is, uh, not great but thankfully I do journal and write down things so I am confident I can answer this for you :D (plus I do always love recommending things so - aaa??? Thank you for this ask????)

Putting things under a cut because I physically cannot chill but if tl;dr I want you to take away one thing from this it’s that everyone should read Gideon the Ninth by Tamsyn Muir. Thoughts below.

(Also. I would love to go off about my interests more on here but am not sure what... shape that should ideally take? Text posts? IDK pls give me suggestions, help me out?? dfhasjkldf)

Movies

I have not seen many, but I can and will scream about The Old Guard over and over because... it was everything I never knew I needed in an action movie?? I don’t reblog many things about it anymore but I love love LOVED it!!

Also, upon recommendation by one of my friends from India, I have been delving into the world of Bollywood movies and WOW Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara was so fucking good??? idk if it’s on Netflix in every country but it is in mine and I highly recommend it. It’s thoughtful, honest, emotional and shot absolutely gorgeously, and it also has that cheesiness that is just... so good... sometimes you just need the cheese y’know???

(Side note, 2020 was the year I saw Pride and Prejudice (2005) for the first time and I am a changed woman. It is now my ultimate comfort movie. Please see it if you have not, I cannot believe it took me this long. I saw it for the first time on an airplane (in january... a lifetime ago) and have seen it many, many times since.)

TV Shows

So, to everyone’s shock but especially my own, I have not really been into TV lately? I watched The Boys because my brother recommended it (it’s good, but gorey and pulls no punches, the R rating is deserved), and recently started watching Jujutsu Kaisen because my sister recommended it (I haven’t watched a new anime in like a year which is kinda wild to me? But I am enjoying this one - the opening SLAPS and what I’ve seen so far has been fun! Plus I’m watching it with my sister and I like sending her reactions xD),,, and that’s pretty much it for this category?? I am aware there is a LOT of good shit out there I just.. .don’t seem to have the attention span for multiple episodes of a Thing these days. Meh. I’m sure it’ll come back to me eventually ^^

Musical Theater

One of the main reasons I think I haven’t been big into TV is because my Musical Passion is in FULL SWING (haha get it). Probably because the only thing that has remained for me during this quarantine is my singing lessons (and lemme tell you... over skype, that shit is ROUGH but still better than not singing at all) and I have been obsessing over learning new songs and finding shows through recommendations and compilation videos on youtube... So.

Shows I listen to a lot these days include Starry, Anastasia, The Guy Who Didn’t Like Musicals, Come From Away (I made a post recently specifically about musicals, you should be able to find it under #French speaks) - specific songs in my range that I am currently learning and obsessing over include “Bring on the men” from Jekyll and Hyde, “The Mad Hatter” from Wonderland, “Show Yourself” from Frozen 2 (I liked it ok I DID), and “Go Tonight” from The Mad Ones (this one makes me cry... I’m making my sister duet it with me bc I can’t stop thinking about it).

Also, if you’re interested in hearing me sing things, head over to my instagram where I post covers (and also art)!!

(Musical people, I am curious to hear opinions about Great Comet, and also The Count of Monte Cristo - two shows I’ve been meaning to check out!)

Video Games

Listen. Animal Crossing New Horizons is awesome and I’m glad I have it (...give me Brewster back, Nintendo, or I WILL RIOT), but I have been branching out into other games for the Switch (might as well make this purchase worth it amirite) - current faves include Celeste (which is SO HARD but also SO FUCKING FUN) and Spiritfarer which I specifically bought to play at the hospital bc I knew I was going to be there for a few days, and let me tell you - best decision of 2020. Please watch the trailer if you haven’t heard of it, it’s GORGEOUS and beautiful and emotional and I loved every second of it. Both of these can also be purchased for PC and I think they are definitely worth the investment!!

In other news I’m back on my Stardew Valley bullshit. It’s just so calming.I revisit it a lot lmao

Books

So... I have been reading. A LOT. I read over 70 books this year, which for me is... average tbh? I have had some less productive reading months but overall I have torn through stuff and BOY do I have recommendations if you want them?? For the sake of brevity I will only mention a few here:

Gideon the Ninth by Tamsyn Muir “Lesbian necromancers explore a haunted gothic palace in space”. That is all. This was my first five star fiction book of the year and I will never be done screaming about it. There is a dedicated but smallish fandom here on tumblr and it deserves SO MUCH MORE. Please, please please. Everyone should read this damn book. It’s confusing in the beginning but I promise it’s worth it IT’S SO GOOD!! And also the sequel is out and it’s also confusing and SO GOOD!!!

Educated by Tara Westover. This is an autobiography and it’s one of those books that like. Stick in your mind for months after you’ve read it. It’s about how this woman escaped an abusive household that was religiously oppressive and also like... survivalist (prepping for the apocalypse) and avidly believed in conspiracy theories - by educating herself, working her way up to going to Harvard. Nothing I say could do the emotional impact of this book justice - and also just, the perspective this book gave me?? Incredible. Education is the most powerful tool and this woman grabbed it by the hair and did not let go and I was FLOORED. Everyone should read this. I don’t even usually read biographies but DAMN.

The Winternight trilogy by Katherine Arden.(Book 1 is called The Bear and the Nightingale). This is a bit of a slow burn type deal - it’s a retelling of a Russian fairy tale (I think?? Or like a folk... story? Something like that) and it is just. So magical. It’s not fast paced but it works up to FANTASTIC moments, the focus is on family and magic and change and “making your own way” and all three of these books were wonderful. It reminded me of Naomi Novic’s Uprooted and Spinning Silver (both of which I also loved back in 2019 and would highly recommend) and they are PERFECT winter reads if you’re looking for something to get cozy with. I liked book 1 well enough but books 2 and 3 knocked it out of the park. Fantastic. Loved them.

I have many more recs but this will do for now hahah

Music

Gonna keep this brief too - my music taste is all over the place, but here are some songs I have been obsessed with recently!! Beware of genre whiplash though because these are Very Different from one another (and different from the musical theater stuff above)

Factories - Autoheart (that bridge gets me every time, idk why. This is one I could have on repeat for hours and not get tired of it either. Something about it just gets me!!)

History Read - The Altogether (The lyrics!! Tbh the entire Silo album is GREAT, but this one is my fave. Their music is so... mellow, in the best way??)

Weather Man - Valley of Wolves (ok this one is just a banger. I’m a sucker for a good sing-along-able hook (that’s not a word. you get me though right) and this fucking DELIVERS. I also just think “I make these dark skies blue, I make these mountains move, let the rain come down, I’m pushing through.... [pause] ... ‘cause I’m the weather man” is such good execution of a concept?? That PAUSE GETS ME it’s just SO FUN?!?! idk man I like a good upbeat banger and this is that.)

I believe (get over yourself) - Nico Vega (this one is just a callout at myself tbh?? “you’re a fool” I AM and I needed to hear it?? It’s also SO FUN to sing!!! We love a banger.)

Kiss me you animal - Burn the Ballroom (mentioning this mainly because it reminded me, lyrically, of Gideon the Ninth and I need someone to confirm this for me before I go insane?? “everybody knows that home is where your teeth sink, love” - I mean c’mon??? Also it’s a banger. I do like some rock from time to time... and this also has a killer driving bassline. This is super fun to drive to, too!!)

((If we have overlap and anyone wants to exchange playlists with me - I am SO here for it. Always looking for new music!!! I mean it!!))

Youtube

Last and certainly not least... meet my newest hyperfixation!!! I have always loved watching video essays, and booktube videos, and arttube videos - and my current niche of favorite creators is the Polygon video team!! They made videos about video games and board games and anything gaming-related and I just. I’m only peripherally a “gamer(TM)” but I love anything and everything they create. (Also you don’t have to know much about video games to enjoy all of their content!! A lot of it is still accessible to Non-Gamers(TM) or casual gamers!) BDG is my new favorite creator, the Unraveled series he does on the channel is a work of genius - but I have also started watching their streams and older series and I am enjoying myself SO MUCH! I love boardgames so their series on them, Overboard, is so fun and entertaining (and I already know a bunch of games I want to buy based on seeing the gameplay), and it also made me invested in the other creators - particularly Simone, I would die for Simone?? And Pat? And Jenna? They each have their niche and they work really well together too and their videos are my Main Serotonin Machine in these trying times(TM), thank you for coming to my TED talk.

Also. If you’re already following me here and you are familiar with Polygon things I BEG YOU TO COME AND TALK TO ME ABOUT THEM because I am like, bursting, but I also don’t want to flood my dash with stuff that 99% of my followers are unfamiliar with y’know??

...I think I’m going to leave it at this - it’s already a lot!

But thank you once again for asking and for letting me Go Off about things I am interested in!! I just... I very often wish I could do this more, but I’m not sure how to go about it? Should I just do text posts about things?? Would that be interesting to anyone?? Or is that like, annoying? Should I start a review blog or something? dhfajkldhf I just want to talk about things that excite me, but whenever I’m here I often just stick to reblogging other people’s stuff... help?? What do y’all want to see??
