Until you get it that in reality you, and the enemy you hate, are identically and inseparably 'One', of a single make, you're one big silly mistake.

yan wushi's betrayal is necessary, his cruelty is the point!!! much like the audience, shen qiao believes that there's kindness in yan wushi, and with time spent together, it will eventually show, no matter how small. that although they walk different paths, shen qiao's is the ultimate truth.

shen qiao's character flaw is not his kindness. it's his ignorance. and he doesn't truly accept (we, the audience, don't truly understand) this until yan wushi betrays him.

Some people, when we lose them, are missed more than lamented; and others are lamented but scarcely missed.

We all have different needs, thoughts, ideas, visions, languages, colors, and creeds, but we all want peace and happiness.

i don’t know if i’m ever gonna write the fic but i’ve been thinking abt like. the eternal stockade. the implications. lup, a lich who was trapped in a dark featureless cell for a decade completely isolated with nothing to keep her sanity but her own mind. she has to put people in the eternal stockade. how many liches does she see herself in. how many liches started out just like her. how many liches are truly too far gone. and the only liches we ever see other than her and barry are edward and lydia. they’re certainly evil, but mad? they seem pretty sane. they’re not, like, tattered echoes of souls, they’re definitely still people. even as much of a grudge as lup surely has against them, wouldn’t they remind her incredibly strongly of herself? do they deserve to be trapped just like she was? for eternity? isn’t eternity what turned john to existential despair in the first place?

Sometimes courage is in forcing yourself to stick with your plan to go slow, progress gradually, and trust in the future, rather than throwing yourself into the deepest end out of desperation to “get ahead,” knowing full well you won't be prepared, which would unnecessarily heighten the chances of failure at something you truly value and don't want to play with.

I've been having to remind myself of this all summer and all semester. It's actually not UNrealistic to go slow to go far. And deep down I know this, but the world we're in sometimes makes us feel so pressured to live fast...sometimes even before we're ready. Which may lead one down the rabbit hole towards the whole concept of sink or swim and survival of the fittest, where if you know you can't immediately speed up because you know you'd sink, you think you're just not fit for life. Nothing could be further from the truth, and it's a real advantage to have that self-awareness, to know your current limits. The time you spend now slowly growing and exploring other ways to get to your dream (even if it may seem to take you further away from it at first) will make you so much more experienced, resourceful, inventive, mature, and ready in every sense of the word than those who choose to hurry.

There are undoubtedly merits to living at a faster pace and I'm sure we're all well aware of it in this world we live in. But what I'm trying to say is that there are also equally valuable merits to living at a slower pace, and for some of us, that's what we need. And so we should give ourselves permission to do that when we can in order to thrive long term. To hell with the societal pressures to do otherwise.

doublethink means the power of holding two contradictory beliefs in one's mind simultaneously and accepting both of them

But like hypothetically if I decided to make a series of YouTube video breaking down and rambling about how I think the first year trio encompass the full gradient scale of what it means to be “morally good” and how by the end of the series they have grown exponentially but their moral inner workings are so entrenched in who they are they never needed to change they just became more of who they already were.

Because initially Yuuji wants to save the world in that abstract way all heroes do, Megumi is only interested in saving those he can save and Nobara is only interested in those she wants to save. And all these are treated as morally valid by the narrative and not really flaws in need of changing but instead philosophies in need of refining and understanding.

Because Jujutsu Society as a whole encourages and thrives off a moral apathy or superiority, they are in the business of killing curses not saving lives and that ultimately raises the question of if you’re going out there everyday killing curses and inadvertently saving lives does it really matter the reason why? Or the morality behind it? Maybe not to you but to the society, maybe.

So anyway, hypothetically ….would you be hypothetically interested👀

Why?

Why do I constantly feel like an outsider looking in.

It turns out that I never research because it makes me think the details are the point instead of the story.

The story is the point! It doesn't matter if I don't have an entire world with all its history and cultural and political customs realistically fleshed out! Focus on the story and fill in the details later!

Everyone has 3 faces.

Firstly, the one we show the world and strangers.

Secondly, the one we show family, spouses, and close friends.

Thirdly, the one we show only ourselves.
