"Love, or Something Ignites" might just be the best goyuu fic ever!!! let me explain!!! (Thoughts and Review)

Some quick context but cuz this review was already going to be pretty long without my flashback sequence so pls scroll down to the red text if you don't want to hear my history of opinions with JJK and its ships.

I've been deep in the goyuu tag since the beginning of the year, which I found kind of strange at first since I watched S1 way back in 2022 and did not give much of af about the whole show.

I kicked my feet a bit at SukuFushi,  tried to like it more, and even searched out a couple of fics but they just weren't giving AT ALL.

At the start of 2023 I watched jjk 0 and I was kinda hyped to get back into the show, but my shipping heart still ached for something to latch onto so I went on AO3 and picked up the first fic I found. Surprise, surprise, it was a goyuu fic featuring role reversal. I wouldn't say I liked it but it did tickle something in my brain I would have explored if I wasn't neck deep in my bakudeku era at the time.

Then S2 happened and it all just sorta clicked for me. Before then I'd mainly been a SukuIta believer, I didn't frequent their fics but I DID gobble up their twincest doujins like I was starved when I had the time. 2nd cour of S2 coming out practically sealed Goyuu for me, I'd always felt there was a bit of something I saw between them but Yuuji screaming out for Gojo in that last frame...just...*chef's kiss*

I didn't go back to rewatch S1 where a majority of their reactions were like some diehard fans would but the clips and screencaps I've come across now and again are enough to solidify for me that yes! They are made for each other!! (Hope the wrong stsg fans don't find this ◉‿◉)

I'd really love to go on and on about their dynamic but this was supposed to be about my February fic of the month, "Love, or Something Ignites" by lainebee.

Like I said, I've been deep in the tags and the only others I think that come close to this one are "No Sanctuary" by eddie01 and both world's sequels.

Now I'm not saying there aren't other good ones, like I'm just halfway through the hundred and something AO3 pages of their ship tag, so there's a lot I've yet to see. Still, this is a sorta subjective review and I just hope to spread the word of this masterpiece and maybe meet others who've read it so we can fan together in the comments.

(Now that's all out of the way, there will be mild spoilers and also warnings for; omegaverse, mpreg, and voyeurism so let's hop to it (✿^‿^)

The fic is set in a historical Japan au where Yuuji and Sukuna are brothers, with Sukuna being much older and ruling over a kingdom in the south. Thing is, he's constantly at war with the Gojo clan cuz these two mfs are just built like that in every verse. Shit happens and they come to a truce and as a sign of goodwill Sukuna offers Yuuji, his recently presented omega brother, as a gift (I honestly thought Yuuji was like 16 or 17 but he's 19 so like whatever idc (╥﹏╥)

"So what's the problem?" you might ask, well aside from the obvious marriage of convenience plot, Gojo doesn't give a fuck, he's still hung up on Geto (kinda tho, it's complicated but they aren't in love) and he's pretty much intended to go through it for show.

But that's not the end; not only do our boys have no feelings for each other and have never even met, but THING IS... Sukuna has demanded a public consummation cuz he's a bastard like that and we love him for it. Worry not there's no fucking on a stage for everyone to watch...just fucking in a 'room' for a handful of witnesses to watch from behind those dresser screen things (vocab not working lol).

The fic is definitely kinda long and tho there are some slow-burn vibes a lot of it essentially takes place in ONE FUCKING DAY. My first assumptions going into this were, "pacing issues???" and "oh the author is going to either insta love them, make them fuck and spend the rest of the fic doing fluff, or they will fuck with some angst then spend the rest falling in love."

Color me surprised when yeah, they did fuck but that was one or two chapters from the last of about nine.

You expect this kind of shit to feel rushed as fuck but the writing is so fucking divine that you never feel like putting it down. There's always so much going on but time is never wasted dwelling on one subject for too long, it's fast, it's funny, and the characters and setting are constantly giving the energy you know and love from the original show but probably two times better.

One of the things I noticed a few GoYuu writers struggle with is accurately reflecting Gojo cuz he's actually an enigma and arguably one of the most complex characters in the show with a broad range of emotions. He doesn't particularly fit one kind of vibe whereas for everyone else you can pick one or something close to it. Gojo on the other hand goes from one end of the spectrum to the other pretty quickly and that's super hard to capture and explore, especially when it comes to the shorter smutty fics (Not complaining too much tho, I live for the E rating.)

I love the direction the author chose to go with him, and it feels so true to his character, his immature but his teasing doesn't feel over the top or come off as exaggerated. His status as the strongest is just told but shown to us with the way he behaves and I like that we get instances of him getting work done despite knowing he's a rebel. It reminds us that yeah, he's working to make the clan the way he wants but he's just going along with what he has to in true Gojo fashion.

Yuuji, is totally something else, it's implied that he actually killed people...and I don't think we got a paragraph of him feeling guilt over it but that's somewhere toward the end so forget it. Yuuji is the absolute sweetest here and I adore every scene he's in along with how bratty he tends to be with Gojo. It's not frequent and most of the time he's pretty respectful but when he's not...Yeah. His inner thoughts and his conversations with most of the other characters really bring life to the story and you literally feel you're right there with him through it all.

Then there's the smut...oh. my. fucking. GOD. It's absolutely delicious. If you were iffy about it being omegaverse, I beg you to actually consider it cuz all probably more than four thousand words of it are fucking precious.

I had no idea I'd be into sex with some commentary when I began reading but the conversation from the characters picked was spot on and even added to the spicyness.

My favorite part is when Yuuji moans like a fucking pornstar and the zenin guy (forgot his disgusting ass name) goes "The boy is a whore."

Like boohoo bitch just say you wish you were getting all that, I wish I was (╥﹏╥)

If you're still iffy about the Omegaverse trust me it's not that big of a deal, the focus is mainly on Gojo and Yuuji trying to find some mutual ground to get on so the consummation isn't fucking awkward but by talking, joking, and getting to know each other something even more starts to blossom.

There are definitely traces of insta love but I personally see it as a weird mixture of attraction and possessiveness but this book is just like the prelude to the main course which is the second part in the series which I'm not done with yet but fucking hell...all the intrigue and tension that you will find in Love, or Something Ignites, gets doubled with more angst and mystery in the second fic, along with goyuu being stupid as well as stupidly in love.

So give it a try, and if you have, let me know what you think. I'd usually say where the tiny flaws are but for this book there are none...unless you count Yuta being Maki's mate instead of Rika's but that's my personal hill to die on. Let me know if there's a fic you want me to write about and I'll maybe get to it

Well, that's all from me today, it's 3 am and I'm fucking exhausted.

this is the most dumbest rant ever

(Trigger warning: a bunch of fucking words, hammertastic slander/hate, opinions and other shit because people on this app are pretty fucking sensitive and defensive to garbage media)

Ngl why couldn't the "exes" ship of the Wreck-It-Ralph shipping fandom be Ralph and Felix? I could actually see that working and plus it actually makes sense too with all their scenes together. Like some scenes feel like genuine yet awkward friendship and other scenes make me fully believe they had something going on

Like even my dad thought they were together when he walked in on me watching it once and it was the fungeon scene and Felix going through like 5 different emotions my dad straight up went "Is that his man or sum?" And I can't lie it made me chuckle and then I had to explain the movie to him for 43 minutes 💀

But like seriously, Ralph and Felix as exes makes much more sense than any other ship with Felix cuz I genuinely don't ship Felix with anyone else and only Calhoun. But the more I watched the movie I slowly got invested into Ralph/Felix's dynamic together and knew that used to have something going on you cannot tell me they didn't bro

Turbo and Felix being the "exes" genuinely doesn't even sound correct at all or logical. And it sounds disgusting too. Get my girl Felix away from that murderer bro. But, yes, I know that's how ships work ofc, they don't gotta make sense or whatever but seriously who tf even thought they'd be exes? They probably wouldn't even be friends at all dude cuz who tf would really be friends with someone like Turbo bro he sounds annoying asf and I'm 100% convinced Felix forced herself half of the time to even interact with that loser.

I'm 100% convinced that people who ship Felix with that creature doesn't really understand Turbos character at all and think he's misunderstood or have a chance at redemption which he doesn't. This guy made a child go through poverty for like 15 (?) years with the biggest smile on his face ever (rare Turbo W cuz I fucking hate Vanellope) and so much other fucked up shit, not caring about the consequences of any of his actions unless those consequences led to his plan being ruined or his cover being blown.

Turbo is the definition of a literal narcissist and either some people understands it or they make him act like Natsuki from ddlc as if he's some shy misunderstood soft hearted person who uses a mask of anger to hide his true self like no bro if given the chance he WOULD kill everyone with no hesitation. Reminder that this guy was gonna make Ralph watch a child die...erm, misunderstood my ASS!! He cares about himself and himself only,,,,, Duh,,,

Idc if Felix used to invite Turbo to that fuckass pent house bro she invites like almost everyone bro she invited fucking Pacman and Mario to the penthouse too. Yall acting like Turbo is some vip member at that place when he's just another ordinary boring game character LMFAO

Like dude even in the backstory scene Felix sounded annoyed in one part and then sounded scared of him in another? It's obvious that she's annoyed and uncomfortable with just the thought of him so that just makes things even clear that Felix obviously doesn't like him at all and probably (keyword: probably) never did.

Like be so fucking fr she wouldn't be with him at all. They would date and they definitely wouldn't be exes in any way. Mfs just hate the healthy relationship between Calhoun and Felix so much that they went out of their way to make some "Toxic yaoi" That's actually just an abusive one-sided fetishized forced gay ship 🥀🥀🥀

And not to mention Turbo attempted to murder a child and Felix saw like please she would not fuck with him at all....friendship been ended ong 💀💀

So...idk what else to say ig...Ralphix nation rise?? I'm gonna call their shipname golden bricks cuz it sounds cool..!

Besides that....hammertastic fucking sucks and always will and bumpercars is peak yaoi

Rant over bye :P
