Confused Heart || Closed to darknessisgolden

"I apologize for not coming to see you sooner," said the kind and benevolent monk in large dark blue but nicely fitted robes. The hint of disappointment in his voice was directed at himself. "Being a man of faith always keeps me on my toes, especially with so many people depending on me." He was standing in the living room of the cabin, towering over the woman in his natural height of 6 feet and four inches and yet those oversized robes made him seem so small and unsuspecting.

A lot had changed. He wasn't the same Satoru anymore, especially when acknowledging the stitched scar that went across his forehead. That's the part where Thanos had did the most damage. To his team and the rest of the world, Satoru Jiro died six years ago.

"I'm sure you have a lot of questions right now." He sat down in the cushioned chair with one leg crossed over the other. That familiar gaze of almond brown catching her green ones with a gentle expression of indifference. In truth, he was beyond relieved. He missed those eyes, the warmth of her smile. Everything about her.

"Agnes, dear." Satoru called out. "Would you kindly prepare some tea for us? I think I'll be staying for a while."

"Sure thing, hon." Agnes said from the kitchen and already had as kettle on the stove and cups placed on the side.

A few minutes later, Agnes came in with two cups of tea and then got a read of the room. "Oh I should probably leave the two of you alone then. Don't mind me, I've got a good book to read." While Satoru saw no difference in her staying or leaving, it was probably for the best. This was sensitive information after all. Personal things between two people that had worked on the same team for years. There was so much to unpack.

"In case you were wondering," Satoru said, stirring sugar cubes into his tea with a small spoon. "She's still under the control of the hex, I just made some adjustments here and there for her magic not to break the spell." It was a thorn in his side but he got it done and Agnes followed him around like a lost puppy.

━━━ ACCESS GRANTED.

When Buddha faces the horrors of the world for the first time he's shocked, disturbed, and grief struck. At his lowest point, Buddha consults a monk, that has achieved inner peace in a world full of suffering. Their discussion inspires Buddha to begins his path to enlightenment.

━━━ PRODIGAL SON.

Satoru "Yurozu" Jiro came from privileged yet humble beginnings. A prodigal son with a bright future ahead of him as a student in one of Kyoto's most ambitious schools. His "parents", Shiori and Minoru Jiro, were respected members of their community given their respective charity work and being public members of The Star Religious (place holder name) group known for its unwavering beliefs in Buddhism. Beliefs that the charmingly rebellious and more grounded in reality mind of Satoru didn't believe in. Viewing them as nothing but stories of mythology for the seriously devout to pray to in their daily lives.

━━━ REDS AND BLUES.

For better and worse, It was at the age of thirteen that his life was changed forever.

It started with seeing the monsters that went bump in the night, things that only he could see called cursed spirits born from the negative emotions of human beings. It was after a broken window incident at a convenience store that Satoru became the clerk's (an old man named Mr. Towa) apprentice while working there to pay for the damages.

This apprenticeship gave Satoru three years of experience in understanding his cursed technique "curse spirit manipulation" that required spirits to be exorcised into a ball and orally consumed. The taste wasn't pleasant in the slightest but as they say, no good deed goes unpunished.

━━━ ACCESS GRANTED.

At the age of sixteen, Satoru Jiro was framed for the deaths of three school friends and his foster parents due to the horrific nature of the crime and implications of plausible motives and fabricated evidence (specifically his fingerprints on the murder weapons) but in truth this was the work of a person that was a curse user just like Satoru. His younger sisters, Shoko and Hari (3 at the time) were placed into child protective services and later foster care while their older brother was incarcerated with a deal that spared him from the death penalty. A twenty year sentence that was later reduced to four years on account of being found innocent and his biological grandfather pulling some strings.

During his incarceration, Mr. Towa visited him and wrote letters before he inevitably passed away. The only saving grace was that Mr. Towa left a lot of books and journals about jujutsu sorcery / society and cursed techniques for Satoru to learn on his own. Through a path of mourning and vengeance, outside of being labeled as a monster to the public, Satoru's investigation pointed at organized crime and with the help of his grandfather Hakari, he worked his way into infiltrating the Yakuza crime syndicate.

━━━ ACCESS GRANTED.

From learning about his birth parents being alive to finding out that his "parents" had essentially been blackmailed into kidnapping him as an infant as part of the religious groups trafficking ring, to finding out that his sisters were almost victims of it because of the abusive household they had been placed into --- Satoru, having consumed about 460 curses by this point, "disposed of" those deserving of his "righteous punishment" and got his sisters back.

It was later, through an agreement made between Grandfather Hakari and Nick Fury that Satoru and the girls would relocate to America and Satoru would begin his training in becoming an avenger with a second chance at redemption.

━━━ TIMELINE: WANDA.

[ POST AGE OF ULTRON ]

Its the thump of an unrequited love. They have a lot in common (dead parents, dissociative behaviors due to extreme trauma, still trying to understand the powers they didn't ask to be born with, etc) despite her romantic interests in the synthazoid named "Vision". Satoru is humble enough to respect it, he doesn't want to ruin their friendship despite a glint of something more being there. Its through his charmingly mischievousness and the big brother energy that Wanda is reminded of her. deceased brother Pietro.

Shoko and Hari love Wanda and the team but mainly Wanda, she's their favorite hero. The girls are still learning how to handle their cursed energy but other than that they can have safe, regular lives despite wanting to come with the team on missions.

Satoru and Wanda have built quite the close friendship. They sparkle some kind of hopeful light back into one another. While Wanda hasn't picked a name yet, Satoru goes by the alias "DEADNITE" with a custom made suit that allows him to channel his cursed energy more effectively.

[ CIVIL WAR / INFINITY WAR ]

Then the sokovia accords happen and the teams are split into two. Satoru stands on Tony's side but like Natasha there is some neutrality there. Prior to Wanda and Vision being fugitives on the run, Satoru lends a hand and lets them hide out in his private home.

And then "the plan" is discussed. Wanda refuses to do it as the inevitable encounter with Thanos looms closer. Vision pulls Satoru aside, asking him to promise to take care of wanda in his absence. He's been aware of Satoru's feelings for a while now but respects the fact that he never made a move on wanda or tried to tear them apart. Regardless, Vision puts his faith into this promise and Satoru relents to the reality of losing a teammate for the greater good and agrees to keep that promise.

But alas all of that is shattered in the wave of the snap. He watches miserably, fatally wounded in his fight with Thanos, as his teammates and allies are snapped into dust. Wanda's look of reliefs as her body disintegrates, Vision's lifeless corpse staring at him from afar.

For a moment, he's that frightened boy standing over the disfigured bodies of classmates and parents, petrified. In the aftermath, he tries to muster the strength to fight, to get on his feet and movie but Thanos has already shortened the distance between them. Nothing but a false god looking down on a wounded animal in pity. Satoru's spine is damage and his suffered a devastating fracture to the skull. He's not sure how much blood he's lost but its not long before everything becomes a blur and death takes him.

[ AVENGERS: ENDGAME ]

At least, so he had thought. Since that day, he's been in a coma for three years. Thanos left him to succumb to his wounds but didn't account for his body being retrieved by his grandfather who puts him in a water tank imbued with cursed energy to heal his grandson. Satoru Jiro's body is reported missing when SWORD goes to collect Vision's body. Teammates that survived the snap rightfully assume based on eye witnesses that he is deceased.

By the third year, Satoru awakens and despite his protests to help in the fight to Thanos, his grandfather convinces him otherwise, having him focused on refining and strengthening his technique and overall experience and understanding of Jujutsu Sorcery. For the next two years, He has committed himself to the faith of the Bhuddist following after forcibly taking over the star religious group and using it as his main resource for large money donations and collecting curse spirits from individuals unknowingly cursed. Through that, he uses his charismatic and unsuspecting nature to gain a mass following, speaking of a world reborn (the blip) from the darkness (the snap) and much more.

[ WANDAVISION ]

Satoru also has knowledge of the multiverse, the eternals and much more. Even the darkhold and its infamous scarlet witch prophecy after either encountering or watching the witch Agatha from afar. It's possible that they could've been working together but concealed their motives about Wanda. Satoru in particularly counting on Agatha's downfall and Wanda becoming The Scarlet Witch.

When the events of Wandavision happen, Satoru is present in the 60's era as his a kind generous monk in large Buddhist clothes in light of Buddhism and asian immigrants coming to america, with zen Bhuddism later becoming more prominent in American culture by the 1970's and 1980's. Much like Agatha, he is unaffected by the mental brainwashing of the hex but plays his role accordingly.

[ MULTIVERSE OF MADNESS ]

Satoru has been keeping an incredibly close eye on wanda and her use of the Darkhold through his dream cursed technique from one of the spirits he consumed. He takes the opportunity to retrieve Wanda's body from the rubble of Mount Wundagore, where he and a still hex controlled Agatha take care of her in the safety and isolation of his religious sanctuary.

There no telling what sort of imprisonment conditions were going to be enforced if the TVA had succeeded in arresting her for her crimes through the multiverse. They didn't have the foresight to see and understand that Wanda Maximoff was the vessel of the elder god Chthon and the creator of the Darkhold. She would face an execution by that fact alone and Satoru just couldn't sit by and let that happen.

She's been in a coma for three months now and he's been preparing a rehabilitation course just for her. It's a much better alternative than whatever anyone else had and it would actually help instead of just keeping her locked up somewhere. That and the positivity and support of his community, his mentorship in helping her build emotional and mental strength against the Darkhold's corruption while learning more about her powers -- it's the best thing for her and Satoru held strong to those beliefs.

Perhaps, it's love or perhaps it's madness thats driving him now. He can't quite distinguish one from the other. One thing he's certain of though, now that Wanda is alive and in his care -- he won't let anyone or anything harm her or her happiness ever again.

non-lip kisses are my absolute favorite. absentmindedly kissing the back of someone’s palm as you hold hands. chaste forehead kisses and brushes against their cheek. silly boops on the nose. kissing fluttering eyelashes. neck kisses that barely touch skin but are no less passionate. kisses on collar bones or exposed tummies. sloppy kisses at the corners of someone’s mouth. kissing each and every fingertip with a delicate touch.

~ Geto Suguru☆

[cursestitched]

Gege turning yuji's selflessness into a fatal flaw is so malicious and kinda brilliant. Of course he didn't include himself in the list of people sukuna shouldn't hurt, why would he? He's accepted his death since chapter 2 and is just attempting to enjoy his borrowed time and do some good before he dies and rids the world of the most powerful curse - the ultimate sacrifice. The message usually put forth in these kinds of stories through the main character is that pure unadulterated kindness and a deep desire to help everyone at the expense of yourself are the most noble traits and is where true strength comes from.

The sick thing is while that has helped yuji to keep going mentally (or at least kept him from offing himself on the spot) it hasn't helped him in literally any other way. And now it has been turned on his head and used against him because this world doesn't play by those rules, never have, and won't begin to now out of sheer willpower.

If you notice most jujutsu characters when talking about their motivations or things they want to achieve, it's things that were self centered and served them only, and the second they reveal that their desires are actually more noble than we think and serve other people too, tragedy strikes.

Most of the characters have a very pessimistic, narrow, almost arbitrary approach to being a jujutsu sorcerer not because they're mean and don't care about people but because they're hyper aware of the world they were born into.

[ WANDAVISION VERSE ] : untitled

TRIGGER WARNINGS: pregnancy, miscarriage, spouse death, spine and head injury, surgery, etc.

After the tragic loss of her fiancé, Vision, four months before their wedding day-- Wanda is approached by a long time friend of his, Satoru Kanatagi, the grandson of the influential and wealthy Honaga of the Kanatagi Clan that has made Satoru his only exceptional heir to the Kanatagi Family Fortune for the sole condition of him marrying and settling down with a wife that is approved by his grandfather and to produce grandchildren for the bloodline to continue considering how much it's dwindled over the years in and outside of Jujutsu Society, Japanese crime and civil political tensions.

Satoru has known Wanda and Vision since their college years but at some point after graduation, Satoru lost touch with the two of them. Coming back now in their respective early to late 30's is a considerable shock for how much they've grown and changed.

After the funeral service, Satoru and Wanda take the time to catch up. Satoru explaining that he had brain and spine "surgery" after an "accident" almost took his life. By the time he had woken up from his coma, he had some missing mail to track down and found the invitation to their wedding that Vis had sent him. Despite the obvious scars, such as the one on his forehead, the life changing experience has pushed him towards the path of being a shaman of the Bhuddist faith, a profession his deceased parents would've probably wanted him to pursue since it was within the same religious group.

Wanda catches him up on her and Vis' lives after graduation but withholds the information that she recently miscarried, her and Vision had been having problems trying to get pregnant, this was information that she hadn't worked up the courage to reveal to anyone yet but she does relent and reveal this to Satoru, trusting him sincerely.

Wanda didn't come from old money like her husband and Satoru. She didn't even come from new money. Her family and home in Sokovia had been ravaged by the onslaught of war and crime. Immigrating to America with the help of a foreign exchange student program and marrying Vision was her only ticket at living a normal, sustained and safe life with a family of her own. Her parents and brother were dead and gone. Just like the love of her life.

Now, she was alone.

Satoru starts to financially and emotionally support her with anything and everything that she might need. He insists despite Wanda's arguments the first time around. She's a hard worker that wasn't that desperate for handouts but coming from a friend like Satoru that was only trying to help when she clearly needed it, Wanda relented.

Slowly but surely they started spending time together, reminiscing about Vision and helping one another in the highs and lows of their grief. Vision and Wanda's purchased home resided in the suburbs of Westview and now it was just too heavy to be considered a home sometimes but with Satoru around, things did lighten up.

Inevitably, Satoru comes clean about his long withheld feelings for her after initiating a kiss from last night and asks for her hand in marriage but does come clean about the fact that his grandfather has some terms and conditions as his only exceptional heir of the family.

As fate would have it, Honaga knows who Wanda's biological father is and upon meeting her, sees the resemblance between her and Erik. To their surprise, he gives his blessing on the marriage arrangement and while he prefers his grandchildren inherit the Kanatagi Clan name, he can make an exception for Maximoff.

Wanda ended up giving birth to two healthy children that were only two years apart in age and they went by the names of Ethan and Serena Maximoff.

[cursestitched]

Viewer discretion advised, themes of death and violence lay ahead. I'm more or less copying and pasting this, as I'll reference these bullet points to further sharpen the full profile of Satoru Jiro

- Satoru was 16 years old when he was framed for the murder of his adoptive parents. His sisters were placed into foster care and relocated outside of Kyoto (where they all lived originally) media leaks revealed that Satoru didn't share the same biological DNA with these adults (he wasn't aware of being adopted) and the media dragged their names (and religious group they worked for) through the mud with the allegations of being kidnappers where as other people stayed strong to them being good people that helped their community.

- While I still need to delve into this part, I'm still debating on if Satoru actually is a mutant who doubles as a being a curse user or jujutsu sorcerer (if you aren't familiar with JJK, don't feel overwhelmed I'm happy to clear up any terminology) a person that can see and exorcise cursed spirits birthed from negative human emotions. These qualities are exclusive only to the people of Japan with some rare exceptions of small groups in Africa and India. Satoru's cursed technique is curse spirit manipulation.

- If Satoru is a mutant, he's the first mutant / sorcerer hybrid that could potentially evolve himself into more or a curse being like many people in JJK such as Lord Tengen and Sukuna and Kenjaku due to being around the ages of 1,000 to 2,000 years old.

- Back to his story, Satoru was sentenced to eight years in prison only to get out early with a four year sentence after being found innocent. Making him 20 years old. Ostracized by the public ( a parallel to how he was ostracized in school into his preteen years because he could see curses spirits and no one else could, ultimately pushing him in highschool to be more popular and cool instead of being associated with the words "weird" and "strange") and inevitably abandoned by his friends. He ended up getting involved with the yakuza crime syndicated, targeted and indoctrinated into their way of life as he tried to find the person or people responsible for ruining his life.

- after "getting rid" of the people responsible, he did what he could to put his life back together. A family neighbor sent him some books and journals and much more knowledge or jujutsu sorcerer and cursed spirits, ( the person was a witness to him encountering and exorcising one) so while he didn't join Jujutsu High, he did his own thing, exorcising and obtaining curses for himself -- despite the disgusting taste. He may have also had knowledge about curses from stories from his parents or even their religious teachings but just didn't believe in those things until he saw one for the first time.

Eventually he got custody of his sisters after tracking them down (I might change this part around because it could tie back to the whole kidnapping allegations his parents were accused of) . They were living peacefully for a year before Satoru was approached by Nick Fury. By that point Satoru had small arsenal of about 200 curses inside of him. Fury had been watching him for a while now and gave him an offer he couldn't refuse. Relocate to America with his only family and work with the avengers for a fresh start and a second chance or remain branded as a monster in a city he can no longer call home. He chose the first option.

So, timeline wise, Satoru is a rookie on the team about six months after the events of Age Of Ultron, but definitely a little while before the events of Civil War.

Focusing on Wanda Maximoff here, I imagine that he would eventually have a kind of unrequited love for Wanda while understanding she's interested in vision. I imagine that during the events of civil war, he does try to console Wanda clearly able to relate to people seeing you as a monster for your actions and the powers that you have but never wanted despite your good intentions. That and the shared loss or parents despite the different circumstances. After Civil War, Satoru does side with Tony but like Natasha he would stand as neutral to a certain extent and be on Cap's side deep down. So he at least tries to give them Intel whenever he can through burner phones. Particularly checking up on Wanda and Vision.

[cursestitched]

"Yes. It's someone from the team. I've thought about proposing but I haven't found the right moment." Skimming through the menu on his side of the table, there were some dishes that caught his eye but nothing could beat his most favorite meal. "Maybe I'm moving too fast? We've only been together for a month now."

It can be a tricky thing, transitioning from a respectable friendship to a intimate and serious relationship. Acknowledging all those things left unsaid from the perspective of an unrequited love. "I think you should try the Nanban chicken, it's got a sweet and sour taste. Or maybe Karaage is more you style? It's got sweet chilli." Both dishes have rice in them and Satoru gladly pointed them out in the menu, along with their respective pictures. "I'll probably settle with an old time favorite of homemade ramen or Oyakodon."

“ Japan looks so beautiful! I wanna explore.”

"Patience, my good friend." Satoru gives Caspian's shoulder a light squeeze. "You'll have all the time for sight-seeing in Kyoto before our little vacation is over with." Expenses that had been paid in full by the stitch headed monk and his ever so devout followers that volunteered with a welcoming hospitality. "In the meantime, relax and enjoy yourself."

they said you'd moved on, so i figured i should, too.

i wish i had all the answers for you.

i know you expect me to be okay with this, but things have changed since you died.

[name]... i thought you were dead.

will you ever find it in your heart to forgive me?

i'll never leave you again.

i swear on my life, this wasn't supposed to happen this way.

i take it you got my message.

everything got out of hand.

they didn't tell you?

glad you could make it.

i'm sorry i didn't reach out to you sooner.

all of a sudden, you come back into my life.

i'm back and better than ever.

i don't want to hear your excuses.
