*peeks*

Hear me out....

Your long awaited art that i promised on ksss24 but got delayed due to irl (moving out for college). I'm sorry for the delay and the pain of the art (not really) but I hoped you liked it! @sa9vva

This is what I meant that I didnt realise it was one of your 'not it' on the list (made with love <3)

Adios people!~

*drops this and dips*

[murmurmurl]

have some lesbiabs also. I am jumping between interests so much wow

[movedtonewblogcheckpinnedpost]

Armand secretly having so much admiration for Maharet and Pandora, YES? Need the show to go even further than the books, make him bond with them and have one or both of these ladies as a mentor/motherish figure

[jaylienpotter]

Marlene: boys are so stupid.

Dorcas: any reason in particular or you're just stating the obvious?

Marlene: talking about how James and Regulus are obviously in love with each other and do nothing about it.

Pandora: true, Reg talks a lot about Potter.

Dorcas: Barty and Evan aren't much better. The sexual tension is obvious to everyone but them.

Pandora: how about we free two birds with one key? We get all of them to play a game and sabotage it to make them confess their feelings!

Marlene: did you mean kill two birds with one stone?

Pandora: no! I don't want to kill them! 🥺

Dorcas: aww poor baby.

Marlene: *pouts*

Dorcas: you also my baby, love. Different kind. *kiss*

Marlene: *smiles satisfied*

Dorcas: but i think that's a great idea, Dora!

Marlene: scheming time!

the thing with levi baskerville is that he's such ridiculously heartless person who is so numb to everything he is always in the state of boredom. i believe he legit views all people around him as npcs to amuse him. yet. yet there's such incredible rage at the violent status quo of his own house behind all his actions. which makes me think he used to feel and hurt so deeply to warrant this willingness to do ANYTHING to end glens/children of ill omen cycles of abuse and all this total indifference as inner defense mechanism.

I am like Pandora's Box; choose a key and wait which story you are in when reading my life

[mcrizzystardust]

there hasnt been enough marauders shit on my dash lately, so here are my marauders hcs (these are straight up just canon to me) to give that ol damned algorhythm a little push

barty calls evan "rosie"

james loves abba and LOVES the mamma mia movies

pandora's aroace, but is in a qpr with xeno

james would always give regulus flowers when they dated and when they broke up reg left him with a single rose with a preservation charm on it. the rose wilted the day regulus died.

the potter family is desi

fleamonts a dilf (I WILL DIE ON THIS HILL. SAME FOR EFFIE)

effies a milf

everyone had a crush on remus at some point

i love "the casanova of gryffindor tower", but i love it even better when remus is just. a little guy. hes an awkward bookworm, he doesnt know how to flirt, but hes somehow got that rizz deep down

speaking of, everyones had a crush on remus at some point

poppy was a maternal figure to remus

add on to the last one: poppy was the one who found remus' body after the battle of hogwarts. sorry

james, marlene, and peter all grew up in the same neighborhood, and were childhood friends before going to hogwarts

when sirius was having his sexuality crisis, he got james to kiss him to figure out if he liked guys. he realised he is, in fact, hella gay, but nothing ever happened with james and they just kept being Those friends that people think are dating but are actually just really close. (theyre both in love with other people)

mary and lily got really close, bonding over both being muggleborns

plus size lily evans supremacy, i love her

as for nationalities: remus is welsh, lilys scottish, james is desi (as prev mentioned), uhhh i think thats all of the ones i have like, specifically in this head o mine

james has adhd and is pansexual

sirius is mlm/nblm

remus started falling in love with sirius after sirius found out hes a werewolf and didnt leave him. sirius only realized his feelings in sixth year but didnt do anything for about a year because of internalized homophobia

barty has bpd

frank longbottom and regulus are transmasc

even though he was ""dead"", regulus is lunas godfather (you will pry this hc out of my cold dead hands.)

sirius thought all parents are abusive until he went to the potters house on winter hols. he was terrified of effie and monty at first, not making eye contact and calling them ma'am and sir, then effie did her magical mom-ing and sirius got adopted

andromeda sent sirius his first david bowie record and got the rest of the marauders hooked

dorcas and reg would run into each other in the halls at night while sneaking to the gryffindor dorms

(Ask game)

As a child I was so lonely that I full on convinced myself I was certain fictional characters. Like not on a normal level. I w a s them. All the time. And I made up a way for it to make sense that I was trapped in this world instead of my own

A. Pandora, i will not elaborate

B. do you need a hug?

[longagoitwastuesday]

I am liking Jujutsu Kaisen, way more than I imagined I would, but I foresee it will let me down and it's keeping me from enjoying this as much as I could haha

I think the characters and dynamics are well set, and I think many of them have an incredibly good and deep potential, but I would be willing to bet they'll not get a proper development, enough for them to really hit. A well assembled set of gears is not enough to make the movement go, you have to wind the clockwork.

I think Gojo and Megumi have a fascinating and very complex dynamic, but I doubt it will be given the time and care that imo it needs to actually work. And it is going well enough for now! One could see the intimacy between them was deeper than the one Gojo had with, say, Yuji and Nobara ever since the very first few episodes despite the fact Fushiguro too was a first year. But the pieces forming what they have are extremely complex, and it just wouldn't be realistic if it doesn't show, even if in a not showing way, or if it doesn't have consequences or implications.

It's one of those dynamics that shape one's life, the way one regards the world, the way one establishes or not relationships with other people. It's one of those dynamics that could be full of fondness, gratitude, resentment, admiration, trust, and that imply intimacy, the good kind or the bad, even if in just the knowledge of someone who's been a constant through your life. It could, and would, imply a myriad of feelings, and probably in such a mix it could imply contradictory feelings too. Even the nothingness would weight, even the nothingness would be significant and meaningful.

Gojo took Megumi and his sister under his wing, the son of a man who murdered him, because of both selfish and selfless reasons. Megumi looks like Toji. What does Gojo feel about this? How does Gojo deal with this? How does Gojo go about taking care of Megumi? Would he walk him to school? Make him breakfast? Celebrate his birthdays making him blow candles? Did he take him to the zoo? Does the relationship between them feel professional or is it something more? Gojo appreciates his students, but is Megumi to him just another student? When Gojo faces Sukuna in Megumi's body, did he see the kid he raised, or does he just see Sukuna in one of his students' body? Did he have one faint wavering instant? And how does Megumi feel about this? Is he resentful of him? Resentful of the situation? Of the selfishness behind his actions? Does he feel like a pawn? Is he grateful? Does he resent feeling grateful? Would he rather not? Does he love Gojo? Does he feel nothing about him other than what he could feel about a teacher that sort of annoys him but knows he's reliable in his strength? Does he think it unfair, cruel or unfeeling that Gojo is close, closer perhaps, with Yuuji or Yuta, considering their story? When Sukuna slices Gojo in two, does the remnants of Megumi's soul tremble?

And not just Megumi and Gojo. Yuuji and Nanami, Gojo and Nanami, Yuuji and Fushiguro, Nobara and the boys, or Nobara and Maki, Todo and Yuuji or Yuta, Gojo and Yuta, Megumi and his sister. Gojo and Geto, even! If the pieces are well set, the dynamics are intriguing, interesting, and have potential to be deep, but then the characters have like two plot relevant scenes that punch you hard, but little more, it's not nearly enough. Especially not nearly enough for the enormity that is shonen dynamics and situations. And the potential existing at all, and then not delivering, makes it all the more frustrating when you're left with something mediocre that could have been so good.

The development of dynamics through not only a few plot relevant gut wrenching moving scenes, but also the smallness of life, is important. The friend who recommended this to me said that those things were just unnecessary filler, but I disagree. I think there's a big difference between a large amount of anime-only filler episodes whose existence is based on the fact they had run out of manga chapters to animate, and moments of quietness. The low stakes character-driven moments of quietness can be so telling and so insightful, and they are so satisfactory when brought back later in higher stakes situations. My friend teased me there was no scene of Gojo making breakfast to Megumi, that it would be an idiotic idea, but it would be so telling. How he makes breakfast, what they eat, if he tries hard or if it's all mechanised, if they have personal bowls or if they use whatever, if he just buys them some pastry on the way to school, if the way they have breakfast changes through the years, or if he doesn't make them breakfast at all! All that would be very insightful on their dynamic and its evolution. All that would give a glimpse on how they regard each other and why, even in the present. All that could become meaningful in tense situations and high stakes scenes.

These moments also let the plot breath; if a lot is happening all the time, if every character is always experiencing trauma after trauma, the entire story is so emotionally draining that at some point you don't even care all that much. Besides, these nothing moments or low stakes plot arcs, besides deepening and developing dynamics, also let some in-world time pass, which would make the intimacy and bond between characters more believable imo; between Yuuji eating Sukuna's finger and their last confrontation in December how much time has passed? A few months? Am I truly to believe these characters are so everything to each other in only a few months?

Without some smallness, some repetition, some daily life, some low stakes not plot-centric development, the dynamics don't hit, they don't truly feel fleshed out, and dynamics as complex as the ones Megumi and Gojo have, or as supposedly meaningful as the one Megumi has with Yuuji or his sister, should be fleshed out if they're going to exist at all. Otherwise they'd risk making the writing feel awkward and fake. Besides, if the dynamics felt well fleshed out and realistic, they would shape the way the characters interact and act, and how they deal with situations, thus being plot relevant.

The shonen genre has so much happening all the time, the stakes are so high, the dynamics are so rooted in big events and the relationships carry enormous weight and implications. Yet they barely get developed, and it feels so stupid, so plain, the absence of something so important noticeable like a constant void, a shapeless nothingness present in every scene. It makes the characters feel like cardboard figures. Jujutsu Kaisen is already getting a better job than many, but I doubt it will do enough for what I've heard, and I fear I am bound to feel let down, and bound to feel unmoved.

After all, if not enough time and care has been given to develop a dynamic, I am not going to feel pressured by the high stakes; if not enough time and care has been given to develop the dynamic between Megumi and Yuuji, as good potential as it has I am bound to feel little for this last confrontation between Sukuna and Itadori, and his effort in getting Megumi back.

I only just made this realisation recently, but Uzuki's persona's that are created inside of him in order to protect his mind from overwhelming stress and trauma is SO SIMILAR to Noise in Pandora Hearts.

Albeit, Uzuki's case is due to him suffering from dissociative identity disorder, and although Mochijun may've referenced this condition within Noise, it's mostly the fantasy elements for Noise which cause the two to differ.

But, the both of them have "multiple personalities" within them which occasionally take over as a way to protect their mind, to help them cope with stress and trauma, and to also keep them mentally and emotionally stable.

This is just something random I realised while catching up with the recent Sakadays chapters, and also because my brain decides to associate everything I do/read with ph in one way or another lmao.

if baron flynt already had the vault key fragments, wouldnt it have been easier for jack to convince him to open the vault instead of hiring vault hunters to do it? is he stupid?
