You know what, thinking about it... I don't think all the times Megumi has tried to summon Mahoraga was him trying to kill himself. It was that all those times, he actually almost could have died anyways.

First time - Sukuna's reincarnation. He heavily injured and Sukuna is now awake and knowing what he knows, Sukuna could have killed him. Megumi even comments he was unsure if it was Yuji speaking or Sukuna.

Second time - Sukuna again. Remember Sukuna's intial goal involving Megumi? He wanted to kill him just to teach Yuji a lesson.

Third time - His fight with Todo. Todo could have potentially killed him! Over his preference of a partner!!

Fourth time - Hanami pulls up. That is a Special Grade Curse that was going to kill those kids. Noritoshi's attacks weren't all that effective and Toge was bleeding from his throat!

Fifth time - That Finger Bearer Curse. Remember the last time Megumi saw one of those things? Could have killed him and this one was no different.

Sixth time - Fighting his resurrected father. Y'all, Toji singled Megumi out because he has the most cursed energy at the time. On top of that, Megumi is a what? A jujutsu sorcerer. And what was Toji known as? The sorcerer killer!

Seventh time - He succeeds in summoning Mahoraga against Haruta.

All those times, Megumi could have died. He knows he could have died so it was more so "I might as well summon Mahoraga". He was the brink of death the closest during the seventh time. Also... Megumi is a child. When children (hell, even adults) are scared they don't know what to do and try to use the best option. I know sometimes it seems he's "emotionless". But he's not. First episode alone shown him surprised, angry, and fearful.

Megumi had been pushed into corners every time he tried to summon Mahoraga. Not like he wants to do it. At those times, he felt it was the best option and he does so out of fear.

Haruta snuck a whole defenseless child, folks. And that lead to Megumi almost dying.

Had he not summon Mahoraga, he could have died. When he did that, Sukuna sensed it and saved him. And let's be real... if Megumi hadn't done that, most likely he could have died and Sukuna probably would have still found a way to kill a bunch of people since he still had time to do it. It is Sukuna!

Also, after the Shibuya Incident, I don't recall Megumi trying to summon Mahoraga again. So, he learned from that experience.

EDIT: He did and once more it was because of Sukuna!

Queued right up for it

My fellow bitches under 5'5. Whatever the money, do not take a job working at a middle school. A fellow adult tried to put me in detention last month and would NOT give up until I showed her my badge proving Yes, The School Hired Me To Work Here. It's not meant for people our height.

it's extremely critical that you see the photo of the perp walk for luigi mangione as being propaganda. i've seen so many people wave it off and instead fawn over his looks. and trust me, i know it ended up being kind of pathetic and weird - but please don't brush it off as a "modelling opportunity" for him. it's a fucking terrifying message the police are sending.

i want to make a few comparisons here, in case you're not from the US or familiar with why the perp walk thing is something to pay attention to. just to set the groundwork for why this is a purposeful, unusual, and cruel act by the nyc police - for why this is not a common occurrence and for why that matters.

the prosecution alleges the show of force is due to the charge of "terrorism." for comparison, in june 2015, tsarnaev was found guilty for the boston marathon bombing, which killed 3 people and injured hundreds. his actions are considered to be an act of domestic terrorism. i have spent the last hour looking through google for pictures of similar to mangione's perp walk - and so far, i have found zero. i also just do not personally remember a moment like that, despite living in boston at the time.

they allege that luigi is a stone-cold killer who carried out a longterm plan, making him particularly dangerous. again for comparison: in nyc, recently cory martin was found guilty of the killing of brandy odom. the murder was planned and premeditated to steal insurance money. and yet no staged perp walk. why didn't her life matter enough for a "show of force"?

but mangione gets paraded by a veritable army of police officers as if he is a rabid animal. for a single citizen who allegedly killed one other single citizen, the "largest perp walk ever" occurs.

so what is the "strong message" that the mayor and the police were trying to send here? the mayor speaks as if mangione is already convicted of terrorism. there is a very thin number of people who feel threatened by the CEO's death. none of us felt like mangione needs to be under massive armed guard.

the message is that you shouldn't resist. they are trying to "make an example" of him - that if you behave badly and kill a single rich person, you'll be treated as if you killed hundreds of people. you will be treated worse than a man who was found guilty of terrorism. you will be considered guilty without trial. the message is that the rich are a protected class, and you cannot touch them without massive punishment. they are trying to prevent a revolution by showing dominance and force against you.

the message is that the police are a puppet of the wealthy and that the law is not equally applied across class disparity. it is "some are more equal than others." it is "one life is more precious than another."

the show of force wasn't for luigi. it was for us. it was a warning. they are trying to remind us who is really in control.

they should invent a new type of "staying in bed for 2-3 hours after you wake up repeatedly opening and closing apps on your phone" where it makes you feel awesome and energized and emotionally fulfilled

A Quintesson attack leaves Megatron in need of repairs.

Let’s pretend this takes place early where Megatron isn’t incredibly paranoid about back stabbing (Starscream) yet

[sunbloomdew]

do you ever see a person and you are overcome with incredible fondness? and you just think "oh." but not in a romantic or sexual way you are just filled with warmth and it makes you happy, it just does. and you think "i'm so happy you exist. i'm happy you are somewhere out there in the world, doing your thing". it's love but also not entirely

like people are lovely and i feel it in my entire chest like a burning candle that smells like roses and a sunny day

Was looking at refs and since Viktor has two different leg braces I was wondering, do we think he wears them simultaneously?? The refs don't perfectly line up perspective-wise so it's hard to tell but parts of the one he wears during the Hexcore scenes look like they could maybe line up with the brace that he wears over his clothes, but also some parts really don't and look like they'd be super uncomfy. Also HOW does he take these on and off. Experts weigh in

still ruminating over Lost In the Book With Spooky Skeletons Part 1, so here's a selection of some of my favorite little bits! (...some more loosely paraphrased than others) (I just feel like Idia has no room to criticize in general, okay)

anyway, I'm sure we're just going to have a fun time celebrating Halloween and nothing bad is going to happen whatsoever! :)
