Heyo! I was at the peripheral but will now be joining the jjk fandom.
Would like to thank @cursedvibes (sorry for the notes spam XD💞) for singlehandedly convincing me with his KenJin fic "Stitches Across The Eyes" and his truly intriguing jjk meta posts to finally look into JJK and not just cursorily watch from the sidelines at the fun fandom shenanigans. I’ve been successfully infected with Kenjaku Brain Rot (pun totally intended) as well. So, Curse Ye for that (affectionate).
Thoughts on JJK so far:
From some posts l've seen, JJK is like a deconstruction of the Shounen Tropes like how Madoka Magica was for Magical Girls lol I wonder if Gege watched it
Apparently lots of parallels w Tokyo Ghoul too fsr. l've seen some posts making parallels on some of their themes and narrative structure
I can't fathom why, but I just can't get passed the first ep of JJK anime 😅 I have no trouble reading the manga tho so I’m doing that instead
I love Yuuji!! and l've only had him for 2 chapters! I love how he’s portrayed as kind and considerate via his thought process, or how he interacts w those he's close w like affirming his presence and his friends niche interests in their weird little circle, or saying he got flowers for the nurses bcoz of Wasukes apparent allergy to gestures of wholesome feelings (the horror lol), and the reason why he saved his friends and Megumi not just because it's right but how he made a distinction between "proper" and "improper" deaths. That last one really filled me w glee. It’s such a unique and morbidly wholesome (justified) take of an MC on his first venture to heroism. A new beginning right after death. I really like the potential shown.
Anyways, glad to have came in fully investing on the Itadori Family. Fun existential and psychological horror abound in the guise of Shounen Tropes! Tropes! Tropes! 🧠🫶🏻
