#two for his kids and one for his bestie uraume

HOW COULD YOU?! I was counting on you! *Smh* i guess i can count your vote for "twins" then? As my moot, your opinion weighs heavily.

I wanted to make them a few years apart but everyone's talking about skgo twins and i got kinda hooked??

They are absolutely losers. They are the definition of doting parents.

Sukuna would put their chubby lil cheeks into his mouth and pretend to munch on them, and the babies would just giggle. It works just for Sukuna though.

Satoru would start puffing his cheek, pouting until Sukuna starts munching on him too

Can I ask your thoughts on this? https://www.tumblr.com/suku-in-red/768306562524758016/hello-can-i-ask-for-your-objective-opinion-on?source=share

As SukuIta shipper I find it kinda weird cause OP there is both Sukugo & Satosugu shipper but said that SukuIta is familial? Really? I never once saw SukuIta as familial, how about you? Also, have you ship Sukuna/Uraume even once (to me their relationship is only platonic)?

Let' see...

All the things OP lists here about SukuIta, which to them can be interpreted as "familial", are to me all the elements you need if you want to make the hero and the villain shippable: two sides of the same coin, clashes of ideals and world views, they make each other whole, they understand each others views. It's a trope you often see in the dark romance genre with f/m heroes and villains (Shadow and Bone for example) but I don't see it played out like this as often in the action or shounen genre, though I do think shounen has a tendency to introduce the hero and the villain in a more brother-like / brother in arms relationship before everything ends in tragedy (like Satosugu or NaruSasu).

The thing is: at least to me, SukuIta never felt like that -- not from the beginning and not even when Gege implied they are somewhat related through Jin Itadori (only to reveal later that they are related though Wasuke). Sukuna and Yuuji's relationship was characterized by being opposites, that's true. But since Yuuji was able to control Sukuna within his body, there was also an element of destiny, of a soul connection of some sort AND that always has a very romantic undertone to it or at least an undertone that exceeds brotherly or familial love. It just doesn't have the same intensity to it. From a writing standpoint Gege needed a very good reason why some random kid like Yuuji was able to be the vessel of the greatest jujutsu sorcerer that has ever lived and tying that somehow into the twin theory seemed on paper like a good idea. I think it cheapened the meaning of their soul connection and personally, I would've been fine, if the only explanation was that Yuuji just has the same potential as Sukuna and that's it. No strange family connection. Yuuji was born as Sukuna's equal. End of story.

Satosugu actually has a similar intensity like SukuIta, so I do understand the appeal of that ship. To me, what they have is also neither a familial nor a strictly romantic bond either. It's just MORE than that and although my shipper heart wants to see every interaction between Sukuna and Yuuji as a romantic one, the logical part of my brain also enjoys that what they had was a connection and that goes beyond familial or romantic love.

I have never shipped Sukuna with Uraume. They have a pretty forward, solid friendship going on and I never questioned it. There isn't enough longing or soul gazing atmosphere between them to make that happen. They are coded more like two besties who have been together since the dawn of time and who steal some horses together.

I don't think it's weird if people think of SukuIta having more of a familial bond, but I just don't see or feel it. I've read to much romance novels and watched too many war movies to think of what they have as just a familial bond.
