While I nodded, nearly napping, suddenly there came a slapping,

As of some one gently flapping, flapping at my chamber door.

“’Tis some fairy,” I muttered, “slapping at my chamber door—

            Only this and nothing more.”

God I'm so bored... I just want to talk to people about my interests... Or even better; listen to other people's interests! I wanna hear all about the character analysis, AUs, theories or just whatever anyone wants to talk about.

I'm just feeling lonely I guess...

“Spring came with awakening, came with innocence and joy.

Spring came with fascination, and desire to deploy.

Summer came with restlessness and curiosity.

Summer came with longings for the things we could not be.

Autumn came with knowledge, came with ego, came with pride.

Autumn came with shamefulness for the things we could not hide.

Winter came with anger and a bitter taste of fate.

Winter came with fear for the things we could not escape.”

“Teach me of the forest, teach me of the trees.

Teach me anything, as long as you teach me.

Teach me of the ocean, teach me of the sea.

Teach me of the breathing be.”

“See me! I am the one creation.

Hear me! I am the love that came from [Animae].

Know me! I am the incarnation.

Fear me! I am the power held by [Animae].”

I just wanted to do some Tenken art based of my favorite song since I feel it’s so fitting. Hope my vision came through tho. Tengen and Kenjaku was suppose to look at the child version on each other, remembering what once was, with different feelings about it probably. But I couldn’t figure out how to make it look right so I split them up in paintings instead lol.

There are a lot of metaphors and symbolism in this too ofc. My fav thing.

**Animae is a god in the albums story.

As someone who's in the industry and in a company that's currently going through a major layoff; they're switching to AI 🙃 Mostly in the art sector but to some extent in programming too. My company is keeping quiet about this but some other companies feel no shame and have been very straightforward that they're firing 80% of their artists because it's much more productive and profitable to use AI.

One can only hope it comes back and bite them in the ass when they realise people don't want to buy soulless and massproduced games that hardly have had any human touch.

Just this week in games:

- EA laid off 700 workers

- Sony laid of 900 workers

- Rockstar announces in-person work mandates for all employees (a 'soft layoff' that will force some staff to quit, which likely means that actual layoffs are forthcoming)

In 2023 6,000 games workers were laid off. Now in 2024 over 10,000 workers have been laid off, and there's still 10 months to go.

Not to be hyperbolic, but I think this is perhaps the worst year for video games ever if we're measuring by number of layoffs.

i’ve touched on it briefly, but i’d like to delve further into kenjaku’s purpose as a literary device because it’s genuinely really fucking interesting. what gege did with kenjaku was actually genius, because kenjaku is a physical manifestation of gojo's love for geto in the form of geto himself.

the love between gojo and geto is both explicitly and implicitly demonstrated throughout the series. we see it in open declarations (he was my best friend, the only one i had) and in subtler ways (how they never fight each other directly, how geto is careful not to kill gojo’s students in combat). these, however, are from gojo and geto’s perspectives. we only see what they want us to see; much of the beauty of their relationship is in how so much of it is meant for the two of them alone.

as an outsider, kenjaku overrides them and drags their intimacy into the limelight, providing unobjectionable evidence of the love between them. he supersedes their perspectives to point at the undeniable truth in a violent, grotesque way, making their love clear for all to see through hijacking geto’s body— which he could only do because gojo loved him.

not only does kenjaku’s plan require geto’s body to work (because gojo couldn’t throw him away) kenjaku literally only exists in geto’s body for the same reason (because gojo couldn’t throw him away). gojo’s sentiment and his weakness come back to haunt him; shibuya happens because kenjaku knew the only surefire way to disarm gojo was through the body of geto himself.

from a literary perspective, gojo’s love for geto is not implicit— it literally arises from the dead to serve as walking, talking proof that gojo loved geto too much to let him go. kenjaku functions to mechanize gojo’s love through the body of the person he loved so dearly and in doing so creates a living representation of the explicit, blatant and undeniable love between them. it’s not subtext; it’s just text.

as a literary device, kenjaku exists as material evidence that they loved each other. it’s not speculative, it’s not conjecture, it’s not reaching— it is right there. we’re not meant to trust gojo’s word; he is not a reliable narrator of his own nature. gojo never had to say he loved geto because kenjaku says it for him. it’s analogous to vehemently denying your guilt in court only for someone to turn up with the body and your handprint around its neck.

and kenjaku delivers a guilty verdict, sentencing gojo to the prison realm and dooming everyone else because being the strongest wasn’t enough to save gojo from love himself.
