how would you describe the right sukugo dynamic?

To be fair there is many interpretations. Sukuna canonically rejected Gojo’s advance to reach out to him, gojo tried his best. Its a situation of “in another universe.”. Yet sukuna still missed Gojo because he was the closest to ever understand him and breaking his solitude.

Its because the story of jjk isnt about gojo and sukuna, its about yuji and sukuna. Yuji inevetably accepted Sukuna for what he was.

Now to make Sukugo work it needs to be an AU under different circumstances. Usually where they are on equal power level which isnt too far off cause i do believe gojo had a good chance of defeating Sukuna.

In this case they are truly equal. An unstoppble force meets unmovable object. They clash and realize how they are truly not alone at the peak of power. Because to know kindness you need to know weakness. They awaken that weakness in each other. My vision is that Sukuna has hold on Gojo’s mind while Gojo has a hold of his heart. Because in contrast, Gojo softens Sukuna and Sukuna hardens Gojo. They are two beings that cant exist without each other to their full potential.

sukuna was born and shifted the balance of the world, resulting to the birth of six eyes to measure up to him.

Sukuna was born a mistake and gojo was born to correct the mistake. But who is to decide what they do with their lives and purpose. Its a subjective point of view like the ying and yang or the dragon and the tiger.

In reality people just need companion. No human being can exist and live alone.

Therefore their codependence and love is unseperable once they colide. Its a toxic obsession but its also love on so much deeper and existential level than what people comprehend as the ordinary romance. Neither of them ever said “i love you” directly because they dont need to. They dont need to understand their exact feeling because all they do is act up on an instinct.

The ship is a what if. And that what if is kind of a crazy concept.

Why people don't like 3rd person pov? Genuinely asking because as a non native I prefer 3rd person. And tbh it doesn't matter to me anyways, sometimes I read books till the middle and realise they're 3rd pov (maybe I shouldn't say that💀) but my point is both are easy for me to understand and doesn't matter to me.

Also, I refuse to entertain the discourse as to whether acespec people are “oppressed” or not, but I will say it’s really fucking lonely — especially if you fall somewhere on the spectrum that’s a little more unconventional.

I’ve discussed many times before how I feel absolutely no attraction whatsoever except towards my lovely partner. I went through the phases queer men tend to: exploring many types of pornography and cruising on Grindr. I really tried, and none of it has ever done anything for me. It wasn’t until I started having sex with my partner that I realised, ohhh, so that’s how most people feel. And even then, enjoying sex with him is far more of an intimacy thing than the actual physical sensations. I do not fantasise about other people or consume porn. There is only him.

And yet when I’ve spoken about this in acespec spaces, I’m still treated as some sort of weirdo who doesn’t belong. I’ve literally been told many times that I can’t be demisexual because demis will still fantasise and consume porn (although that doesn’t line up with my understanding that demis require a close bond to feel sexual attraction, but never mind), and I’ve even been accused of having some weird internalised Christian puritan shit going on because I genuinely cannot comprehend ever looking at or thinking about someone in that way who isn’t my man. As if anything about this is a choice for me and it is offensive to them somehow. As if only feeling attraction to one person is like… “worse” than never feeling any attraction at all. I’ve never once shamed others for how they experience sex and sexual attraction and never would, yet people act like that’s what I’m inherently doing just by speaking about my own experiences.

So no, I won’t say whether acespec people are “oppressed” or not because honestly, when is this shit ever going to come up in conversation and ever be that relevant? But the fact I don’t feel I can talk about it even amongst other queer people, even amongst others in the acespec community, kind of speaks for itself.

Being a queer man who can’t relate to all the stereotypes and anecdotes about enjoying casual sex is one type of loneliness. Being a queer acespec man who can’t even relate to most others in the acespec community is another. I can never win, and either way I do not fit in.

did not anticipate that addtionally to the problem of 'im posting to quickly and too much about whatever floated through my head in that moment that i maybe shouldnt' i would also grow to have the problem of 'deleting posts i probably shouldnt just bc of a sudden feeling of being wrong or unclear'

[itspileofgoodthings]

had a very nice realization about peace, especially spiritual peace, the other day. (Been brewing for a while.) and it’s just: peace is for the non-peaceful.

[briefcasejuice]

ive been a vaguely transmasc version of genderqueer for almost four years now but after employing a few changes to what i can control about the way people refer to me as well as certain stuff in the way i think about myself then living with it for a while, i think i like the idea of agenderism

[clumsypuppy]

i also have unaddressed therian feelings… sometimes i feel like a creature looking out from a human’s body yk

i get what u mean..!! im still trying to understand it too, but im happy to finally have a word that describes the feeling. i cant say for sure what will help u come to terms with your feelings, but i think its good to find people who will listen and take it seriously ^_^

[apollosgiftofprophecy]

What you refer with "Cassandra's misinformation"? The source clearly mentioned that she was cursed by the god that "loved" her. She was his loyal priestess and he punished because she rejected him or just because she promised and then broke that promise, but is pretty normal to not want to slept with him....? Apollo is clearly bad and problematic here so i don't know where is the "misinformation"?

Besides, Apollo is one of the most cruel gods, so is normal... And his relationship with women aren't the best. Aren't you read the Oresteia? What a mysoginist... But he saves his mother one time and "Oh, he is feminist", no... Don't try to defend a god who did many bad shit.

awwww look who’s never had a critical thought in their life, let alone applied it to another culture’s mythology!! ❤️

🫵 it’s you anon!! :DDDDD the egg is on your face!! Lmao show me your sources before talking shit about another culture’s god, a god you clearly have zero understanding or knowledge on :DDDDD

Till is definitely an INFP (5/5)

-> What is Extroverted Intuition (Ne)? (4/5)

What is Introverted Sensing (Si)? What does this look like as Tertiary?

Your Tertiary function is your overused weakness. Unlike someone who has this cognitive function as primary or auxiliary, the tertiary function is twisted to be used negatively and immaturely. It displays egotism, selfishness, and a refusal to take responsibility. It presents as obsessive, cyclothymic, hysterical, and paranoid. It often shows up when people are in an argument, feeling defensive, feeling insecure, feeling depressed - any time you feel unlike yourself.

You cannot simultaneously be in your second and third function without losing the depth of both. Cognitive functions are differentiated and that is why they can be directed. You cannot simultaneously go left and right: you go nowhere. Every moment you're in your third function, you are not in your second. Spending too much time in it is a significant problem because your second function is who you really are.

What is Introverted Sensing?

Introverted sensing is all about the meaning you create from your sensory experiences. It is focused on inner impressions, memories, and bodily experience. Instead of focusing on his five senses in the present, Till fixates on his interpretation of his sensory experiences. Whenever he reexperiences those sensations - whether in the present or in his memories - the meaning builds upon itself.

Si is also restrictive and protective. It includes staying safe. For Till, it causes him to be timid and cautious. He loses his optimism, makes himself small, and falls into unhealthy routines. He'll believe change is not possible and respond passively to his environment. It keeps him in his comfort zone and leads him to isolate himself. He gets stuck and becomes numb.

Furthermore, Till has a negative relationship with the past. He both overvalues it and undervalues it. His mentality is formed by his early experience, and he has difficulty understanding his own worth. He feels helpless and inferior. He is overly attached to people in his environment who are kind to him, and he has poor comparative judgement.

What happens when he is in a loop?

Till needs his Si to support his Ne. The meaning he creates from his sensory experiences inspires his creations. It adds to his appreciation of nature and beauty. It provides him his experiential memory which is needed to improve in his passions and be an effective problem solver. He will synthesize past information about what worked and did not work to find an effective solution. The intricate sensory details in his art come from Si being systematic, painstaking, and thorough.

When Till is in a loop, his Si directs his Ne. You can think of the auxiliary function as the parent and the tertiary function as the child. The child is immature and needs to be told by the parent what to do. With his Si in charge, Till generates possibilities based on negative sensory experiences. When Ne directs his Si, it helps him commit to completing his projects and tasks he is less inclined to do.

How does this show up in Till?

Till is aware of the presence of his first and second cognitive functions. He knows when he is using them. He does not, however, always recognize his third cognitive function.

Nearly all of Till's negative traits and behaviors can be attributed to his Si. It relates to his:

fixation on his abuse

ineffective rebellion

isolating with his artistry

shyness toward Mizi

overvaluation of his relationship with Mizi

undervaluation of his relationship with Ivan

self-neglect and self-hatred toward himself

If you're wondering why Ivan never shows up from his perspective in the music videos, this is the culprit.

What is Extroverted Thinking (Te)? What does it look like as Inferior?

Your inferior cognitive function is your underused weakness. It whispers at your aspirations and purpose in life. It isn't going to be a strength, but it's still an important part of who you are.

Extroverted thinking is about logical systems and is needed for efficiency and effectiveness. It is focused on working toward a goal, creating a schedule, and achieving results. It leads to perseverance in the face of helplessness and overcomes perfectionism. It is a requirement to actualize the ideals of Fi.

Where do we see this in Till?

I don't think we've ever seen Till use this to any effective degree. His completion of his projects can be attributed to other cognitive functions, and he's never used any kind of system to achieve results. Till does not want to use this because it is the exact opposite of his dominant function which embodies who he is. Yet this is a requirement for him to truly rebel against the segyein and to put into action a plan that actually protects Mizi.

Till's character cannot be completely understood by his personality type alone, but it provides a solid foundation. His trauma muddles his motives, actions, and responses which (depending on the situation) he is either unaware of its affect or is choosing to ignore it.

By the way, Ivan's personality type is the exact opposite of Till's: ESTJ. That means he values all the same functions as Till but in reverse: Te, Si, Ne, and Fi. So who Ivan is is the exact opposite of who Till is. It also means the function that tends to be used negatively and immaturely is a major part of who the other is. I have some posts in the works that explore more how this affects their relationships and how this contributes to them as unreliable narrators.

This is the end of this series of posts. I'll be linking back to this a lot so I don't have to prove myself every time when I talk about how Till's personality develops the story. I next plan to explain what's going on with Till's perspective in the MVs. It'll make more sense with this context.

shipping really is just about context sometimes. like No I don't really ship this pairing in the standard setting nor do I consider a romance between those characters likely or feasible under normal circumstances. Yes I ship this pairing in the hyperspecific scenario that I made up and only I know about and I'm frothing at the mouth over it. No I probably wouldn't like it in any other setting

Why I think c!Dream is Autistic - Part 2

[Part 1] - [Part 2] - [Part 3]

If you haven’t read part 1 (eventhough I did try and write these as like separate things) I do recommend you go do that...

Did you do it? Hi hello, welcome back. :) Okay, now having gone over general traits, let’s talk more about the second part of my original statement [post]: “c!Dream is autistic and the consequential misunderstanding and miscommunication is a root of all the problems and conflicts” which I have covered a bit already [here].

So, because we think differently, communication and social interaction is often at the heart of a lot of our struggles (after my diagnosis at 20 I realized just how many of the conflicts in my past came down to this). Me and my therapist like to make the comparison that because autistic people’s brains are structured differently it is as if we are speaking a different language and as a result it ends with things being misinterpreted. Because as we all can recognize, when a language isn’t someone’s first, there are times when things don’t come across properly. Both because of perhaps a lack of words, different slang, tone, culture… etc. When you don’t take translation into consideration, it leads to miscommunication and misunderstanding as a lot of poor assumptions are made and conflict is often the result, especially because our inclination is to think the worst of people. [funnily enough here’s a great example between some anons about translation and communication 1 -> 2 -> 3]

As such, while autistic people have issues communicating with neurotypicals, we often don’t have issues communicating with each other - we speak the same language. So, it isn’t that we are any worse at communication in general than everyone else (in other words Dream is not the sole one to blame here), it’s that we are struggle to communicate with the neurotypical like we are speaking two different languages without even realizing it, so of course we struggle to understand each other. 

I think (hopefully lol) we can all agree that the root of the dsmp conflict is miscommunication and not understanding each other. But the thing is, miscommunication in the standard sense, in our day to day life or in the climax of a romantic comedy is about the absence of communicating, like Quackity not talking to his fiances. It is to have information, an opinion, view or assumption that goes unsaid and then leads to struggle just because it was never talked out. However, in Dream’s case it isn’t that he doesn’t talk it out or not share his side of the story, because he does. He does a lot, he does communicate, how else could Dream apologists understand him even before the finale without his own pov detailing his thoughts. 

He does talk about it but his autistic mind is using logic and facts against an emotional response leading to him being unheard. At the end of the day, it doesn’t matter whether tyrant is the right word, they are just expressing their feelings of being controlled by a larger power, but Dream is too focused on pulling out the literal definition and the facts to see the real issue at hand - that they feel controlled and overshadowed by him. So they think Dream doesn’t care, and Dream thinks their points don't matter because their facts were wrong and no understanding is reached. Dream can use logic all day - Why would someone not want to escape a prison they were being tortured in? Why would someone make a prison and then plan on putting someone in an unfortified 1x1 hole in the wall? How can I be the tyrant when Eret is literally the king? How can I steal the discs if they were literally given to me after a fair duel? - but against people just spewing words out of anger, hurt, feelings of abandonment it isn’t going to make a difference.

Perhaps one of the most notable and tragic examples of this is George’s dethronement, in the aftermath of Techno’s attack and the Spirit speech, where Dream meets Sapnap’s and George’s emotions with logic and facts.  (See [here] for full transcript, the following is trimmed down from two different vids)

[18:54] George: “Why—why do you think- why do you think I shouldn’t be king anymore?” Dream: “I think that… you would be safer if you were not, right?”

[23:56] Dream: “You’ll just be targeted if you’re the king, and you wanna be able to like, get revenge on Tommy and stuff, right? So, we can like work to—We can work together. Me and you.” George: “Hm. Sounds like you’re sugar-coating it.” Dream: “No, nono—I mean, it’s a little bit sugar-coated, but it’s also like… it’s just better because you don’t get attacked by everyone, and you can do whatever you want without having to worry...”

[25:37] Sapnap: “George, Dream said he didn’t care about anything on this SMP which… That just means he doesn’t care about us.” Dream: “Okay, I’ll have you say, I was—Okay, I wasn’t—I wasn’t—I didn’t actually mean I don’t care about anything.” George: “Why did you say it then?” Sapnap: “Yeah?” Dream: “Listen, listen! The reason I’m even saying George should step down as king is because I care about him. Because I—He’s been getting attacked, and I care about him, and I don’t want him to get attacked.”

[27:28] Dream: “What did you do as king? Like you didn’t do anything as king like decree or anything...” George: “I’ve been the best king this server has ever had!” Dream: “Yeah, I agree. I agree. But you’ve also been the least safe king because you just get attacked all the time because people don’t like me. And therefore, they don’t like you because you’re behind me, and you’re my friend.” Eret: “By association.” Dream: “Yeah. By association. So, like that’s the same reason, like, Sapnap’s got into some, you know, drama and stuff too, but…”—“Sap, stop pointing the damn bow at me.” George: “Just say—Just say you hate me.” Sapnap: “Yeah, just say it.” Dream: “George! *laughs in disbelief* George, I don’t—Listen to me. I care about you. That’s the reason I don’t want you to be the king.” Sapnap: “First—first—Listen to this. First, he says he doesn’t care about us, and now he’s demoting you as king.”

In this conversation over and over he reiterates how he cares and is trying to keep them safe from being targeted and attacked and yet after everything is said and done, his friends somehow leave that conversation thinking he doesn’t care about them. Why? Because what Sapnap really needed was validation for him feeling hurt, but instead Dream kept reasoning with his emotions with the concrete actions, details and facts, essentially saying that what he feels doesn’t matter because it’s not truth, which was never going to get through to them. They are listening but they aren’t hearing eachother, both think they have made their point and the other side has poor intentions for not reacting appropriately. 

It took Tommy to literally experience Dream’s point of view to understand him and realize his intentions weren’t inherently malicious. Because only then could he shatter his assumptions and misconceptions about intention and motivation. Only then did he know which questions to ask Dream for him to get Dream to answer in a way that made sense to him. Before Tommy experiences Dream’s pov in limbo and after, Dream’s arguments and his answers for why don’t really change, he talks about peace and family so many different times, but it’s only after Tommy goes into his head that he’s able to actually translate what Dream was saying so he can hear him, understand him, see him.

It’s the assumption that the way you understand someone is what they meant to say that causes these issues in communication. Me missing social queues or body language that’s sending me a message and you assuming I don’t care or have a certain opinion on the matter because of my response or lack of response when in fact, no I just did not get the message after all. And as such as an autistic person it often feels like neurotypicals expect us to read their minds because they are sending messages, communicating how they feel just not in a way, not in a language we understand.

So, why do they ask that for the snake and not for people? - because people don’t speak snake, but surely people do speak people, so they assumed they don’t need to ask because they assumed that they can follow the train of thought because it's just like theirs. They assumed they understood each other but it’s like an American and a Brit arguing about jumpers without realizing they are two completely different clothing items.

[cindergarten]

what are your kg ships? can be ships you absolutely love or also ships you think are cute.

I absolutely love 🩷Cindix💙 x100000

it grew on me and now it's like my biggest ship! 🫶 But it's also the only "popular" ship I have cuz I like lots of lesser known ships like:

💚Emindy🩷 and 💜Austix💙

( those two coexist in my mind. If I'm not shipping Cindy with Felix, I'm most likely shipping her with Emmy. Same goes for the boys. Listen, you just gotta see the vision )

Now for some that I like but I'm not as crazy about as the ones above: Perla, Bindy, Felonty, oooh and I really like Austemmy!! and a bunch of others. And I mean a BUNCH.

But yeah I'm veeery open minded when it comes to ships, the joy of being a multishipper ^^

[crossovershipsandedits]

Please consider looking to see if characters have a canon orientation (like lesbian or gay man) before posting ships of them.

Hello! I hope you're having a wonderful day~

To address this ask, I first pose a question myself; Why?

The point of shipping, or really any fan creation, is to show your love and support for media/a character by expressing yourself, your thoughts and your theories/headcanon's through your work. The reason a lot of characters are loveable and popular is because they are fully capable of allowing fans to see themselves in them and see their versions without destroying the canon.

For example; If we look at Zoro from One Piece. As far as we're aware, bro has little to no romantic inclination. And yet his top ship is with another man on the crew, who happens to be woman loving Sanji. But it isn't something that feels wrong or out of place, because the ambiguity is there and their relationship is prebuilt, fans just need to figure out how it moves to romantic. The ability to see past the initial "Oh, Sanji loves women" and see the potential branches for this path. Yes, it's probably canon he legit loves women like that, but it could also be a trauma reaction based on his back story. Or it could ALSO be possible that he's bi/pan/etc

In short; Just because someone is shown a certain way, doesn't mean that's the only option. As fans we have the freedom to conjure up theories and beliefs based on the information presented to us.

Another good example would be Naruto. He's married to a woman, and yet it's still VERY much suggested that he loves Sasuke the same way. There is no "definite" answer. Assuming there is purely because of the canon relationships is a little closed minded in my opinion.

AND, even if it is stated, people change. We weren't born thinking "Oh heck yeah, dong". We develop our tastes as we grow and learn and experience new things. A great example would be Deadpool for this. He starts off in love with a woman (I'm speaking film wise by the way) and continues to love her, but very much over the course of their relationship begins to experiment and opens up that door for himself. Some people need to find the right person that makes them question themselves before they can confirm anything. Or, on the flip side, they need to see a lot of potential and not react lovingly/sexually to them in order to put the pieces together for aro/ace.

Life is a mystery bag of tags and labels that we as humans made to understand things better, and that's ok. Be who you are and love what/who you love. Be YOU

Anyway, I think I went a bit off tangent haha XD All I'm trying to say is, doors aren't entirely shut because of one thing or another. Fans can and will continue to express themselves and their thoughts through their loved characters, and that's ok. It's healthy even! I know people who use characters to test the waters for themselves because it can't hurt the people around them. It's harmless. A bit of fun, if you will.

I will always say this to these kinds of comments, ones where you should ask yourself "why am I bothering to send this?".

It is easier to keep scrolling past something you don't like, then drawing attention to it, and yourself, by commenting something that could hurt or upset an innocent person, and honestly makes you look like a silly grumpy guts :)

Keep sailing guys, gals and non-binary pals!!
