Thinking about Black Widow Luo Binghe.

Hear me out -- so just like in canon, Shen Qingqiu self-destructs to save Luo Binghe, dies, and Luo Binghe steals his body to put on ice while he looks for methods to resurrect him. But unlike in canon, staving off decomposition is simply not that doable for a matter of years, even with cultivation and Luo Binghe pouring qi into the process. The qi costs are still high, so is Xin Mo, and now Binghe also needs a special artifact that can actually preserve Shen Qingqiu, but that runs on blood sacrifices.

To get the thing working, Luo Binghe feeds it a bunch of prisoners from the Water Prison. Then he starts kidnapping cultivators to drain for his own qi reserves, but that's difficult, controversial, and he can't use the same victims for the blood sacrifice afterwards. Frankly, between one thing and another it would be easier to satisfy Xin Mo with dual cultivation, and focus on finding victims for Shizun's Snow White style glass preservation coffin without having to choose between using targets for one or the other. Especially given that, if he finesses it, Luo Binghe can extend the use of his sacrifices and get more out of them with fewer deaths that way.

He's pretty sure that Shizun would want fewer deaths.

Of course, he is not a fan of the logistics of the plan itself, but he'd do worse things to one day be reunited. He consoles himself that he's building up bedroom experience for one day being with Shen Qingqiu, and that it doesn't really count because his heart's not really in it, and also if Shizun got to spend all that time in brothels then it's only fitting that Luo Binghe be his equal in this as well. It still doesn't make it pleasant for him, but it makes him able to tolerate the necessity of it.

So Luo Binghe ends up marrying a string of rich and powerful figures -- mostly the villainous single fathers and mothers and evil uncles of harem members from PIDW, rather than their daughters -- and coming up with creative ways of making all their deaths a few months into the process look like accidents. After the third one people are undeniably wary of marrying him, but there's always someone with a big enough ego to think they'll be an exception, or stupid enough to believe that it really has just been so much bad luck up to that point. It helps that the universe is predisposed to let him hit it.

When SY wakes up in the shroom body and hears about Luo Binghe's succession of marriages, he's not surprised. What he is surprised by is the bisexual graveyard of toxic dilfs and milfs that has replaced the harem.

What did he do to cause that?!

And what does Luo Binghe mean that he wants to marry his own shizun now? Is this his new method of revenge??? Binghe, you don't have to marry someone to kill them!

"new friend?"

Another day in neighborhood, another troublemaker in Howdy's bugdega

Explaining that he has a whole stack, stash and a box of things to do, "uncle Howdy" tells Lilly to go find someone else to play with, giving a couple of beloved by her tangerines, to sweeten the situation at least a bit.

Throwing out the peels Lilly finds something bizarre- more like someone??

They went to visit frogs later :]

That frog ribbited something too personal 😔😔

Tiger cubs tend to bite others while playing, so does Lilly! (Nobody can escape the lil ankle biter!! Muhaha!!)

Her clown nose honks if you press on it! :]

so silly!!!! Gahhhh!!!! He better watch out for the claws though-

Being silly whole day is a hard job to do so they're taking a nap😔😔

Goofy doodle of "the mandatory older sibling report in the end of the day" lmao (Sunny would think Robbie is just one of the countless itty bitty bugs Lilly befriends)

Robbie belongs to @clownsuu ! >:^]

This part in 250 is even funnier to me and makes more sense now that the manga is over and I know what I know.

First, I just want to say Sukuna was mad hilarious for trying to make small talk in the middle of a fight with Yuta and Yuji, of all people. That's what funny. This was probably the one time Sukuna actually tried casual conversation with Yuji.

Now, as to why this makes more sense to me (and funny still) is that of course, Yuta states they "cheated". They did.

They used trickery against Sukuna.

In this same chapter, at the end, Yuta uses Sukuna's Shrine (Cleave). It had been guessed at the time Rika consumed Sukuna's last finger which mind you, no one knew the location of besides Gojo who would maybe told the others later.

Sukuna also believed that until chapter 267 when we, like him, learns that Rika didn't consume his last finger.

Turns out, it was Yuji's ring finger (left) that Rika consumed for Yuta to use Sukuna's technique.

(Remember, Sukuna's technique is practically engraved in Yuji's body and also, now that I'm thinking about it even more... would that technique also be possibly an inherited technique given that they are sort of related?)

So, Yuta's line "we cheated" fits. As does Yuji's line of "hard work and determination".

Yuji did spend a whole month training to grasp how to use techniques and was determined so that he could get back Megumi and defeat Sukuna. And from that time to Shinjuku (December 24), they kept Yuji out of the loop of some things because of his connection to Sukuna.

Most likely, while he agreed to sacrifice a finger so that technique could be used, he may have thought it was because they didn't know where that last finger was. Someone may have even lied to him about that, too, to keep him from knowing thus keeping Sukuna from knowing they had the last finger that Nobara would later use against Sukuna.

*grinds my teeth together and pretends to be normal about people reducing Bilbo taking Frodo in to simply a Bagginshield thing with zero regard to Frodo as a character save how he can be compared to Thorin or Bilbo and zero regard for the deeper reasons why Bilbo might have been compelled to take in a young hobbit at that stage in his life*
