I love you "boring" female characters. I love you ingenues. I love you female characters who aren't "modern" enough. I love you female characters who aren't "badass" enough. iI love you female characters who aren't "empowering" enough. I love you quiet female characters. I love you unappreciated female characters. I love you polite female characters. I love you female characters who "can't appeal to modern audiences." I love you frightened female characters. I love you female characters labeled as not complex just for being nice. I love you female characters who get criticism just for not being their tomboy or femme fatale counterpart. I love you silk hiding steel trope.

no thoughts, just "where is duty, where is sacrifice" and the way that alicent clings to abstract constructs like religion, honor, duty and sacrifice because her material life is so concretely terrible and empty. to have loved someone so dearly, and watch them be what you perceive as free while your entire personhood is reduced to a womb and made to serve the realm, a vessel for the rotting king to use and abuse. to not exist as a person for yourself but in only in service to others as you are ordered by your father under a patriarchal structure..........and then the contrast of that quote, which summarizes all of alicent's anguish and agony, to the classic, "what is honor compared to a woman's love? what is duty against the feel of a newborn son in your arms...we are only human, and the gods have fashioned us for love.".................but alicent doesn't have love, not anymore. duty, honor, these concepts - they're all she's got, and the lack of the very elements that make them meaningful has corroded her inside and out. so: honor, duty, sacrifice, all without love. and here we are.

it makes me laugh when I go on twitter or tiktok and see people complaining that alicent and rhaenyra were the only two posters to be released first because it’s just like….people still don’t want to acknowledge that this is THEIR story at the end of the day. everything in this plot revolves around these two women and their relationship with each other. everyone is simply a side player to their show

damn kaishin cousins and yuri on ice movie cancellation in the same month. we're not doing well, team.

if tomino comes out and says amuro and char are not the most divorced men in anime, i'm gonna fucking lose it.

[maddyshome]

What if the creator of your favorite yaoi ship waited 20 years to reveal that they are, in fact, cousins. It's possible, it's frightening, it happened to Kaishin.

I was going to wait until the proper translations, but I have this doubt that gege said sukuna didn't have children and he ate his twin in womb ending there direct line then and there and considering they had branch families possibly itadori family to continue their line so can we really say that they are biologically related? Jin's birth is the result of reincarnation and that should be a natural process. Jin and sukuna twins and their souls are same but not yuji 's . At best I can think of yuji possessing a part of sukuna's soul.. But then I am also thinking what about yuji's soul . I mean do we consider yuji's soul a different soul that also possesses part of sukuna soul.

Granted I haven’t looked at a textbook about Buddhism in years, but as far as I remember the incarnations of the soul are not identical. The soul incarnates into bodies that can be different in every physical aspect possible, into different circumstances, walks of life, and a different set of skills and abilities. There’s just some link between the lives, some general aspects of the soul that remain constant. Also people don’t remember their past lives, the whole thing about Buddha was that he did and I think other people can achieve that too if they practise Buddhism. 

The scene in the airport references that the dead sorcerers there will move on, get reborn and so on. But this is likely random, like how Jougo talks about the future comeback of the disaster curses. That they won’t be the exact same people anymore, but that there will still be some common denominator. 

However people like Sukuna, Uraume, the Death Paintings and the sorcerers reincarnated at the start of the Culling Games retain their memories, their personalities and abilities. And that’s because they aren’t reincarnated in the regular way but through cursed objects, it’s like they are cheating the system. 

Then there’s Tengen and the Six Eyes that are tied to her by fate. The Six Eyes is a skillset, a type of body, but possibly a soul too considering the link between the body and the soul in JJK. But it’s likely that the incarnations of the Six Eyes aren’t exact copies, they still have some commonalities and this one constant of cursed technique, but as people they are likely different. 

And it is likely similar to Sukuna’s twin. He incarnates with some constants, like the ability to pass over the hereditary cursed technique of his and Sukuna’s original family, but he’s likely a slightly different person each time. 

The Itadori aren’t Sukuna’s descendents, they likely aren’t related to his original family. It’s just a family the twin was this time reborn into. That’s why Wasuke is so weirded out by the Kenajku thing but Jin doesn’t seem to be. That leads me to believe that the twin retains some memories of his past lives, maybe through some binding vow, maybe because he’s tied to Kenjaku by fate, like the Six Eyes users are to Tengen.

If the Itadoris were part of the family, or part of this whole scheme, the knowledge of Kenjaku and the reborn twin would’ve been likely passed down. Wasuke would’ve known that this might happen, that his son might be the twin, probably due to the peach hair that true form Sukuna shares with Yuuji and Jin might also have. That would be the most manga way… XD but also they could’ve had some ritual to identify the twin, like they have with the Dalai Lama in Tibet. But in my opinion the Itadoris are related to this randomness of regular reincarnation, just some family that the soul happened to end up in. 

I think the reason why Yuuji is the kid of the twin and not the twin himself was set up earlier in the manga through the 3 clans, especially the Zen’in. In both the Kamo and the Zeni’n clan we see how the hereditary cursed techniques travel through the family tree. It’s very random, sometimes it’s from parent to child like Naobito and Naoya, but it can also skip generations like it’s implied with Blood Manipulation and the Ten Shadows. It can also happen not in a straight line, like with Touji and Maki sharing the same Heavenly Restriction. 

With Maki and Mai we also learn that twins are seen as one soul, that’s why through the death of one twin, the other could gain their cursed technique, Mai specifically chooses not to pass it down to Maki, but maybe it can be taken. Sukuna devours the body of his twin, and due to the body/soul link in JJK his twin likely couldn’t do what Mai did, keep his cursed technique away from Sukuna. 

But when Kenjaku separated the soul of the twin, they couldn’t get the technique back because Sukuna had absorbed it. So what Kenjaku could do is try the inheritance route. They could try to make a baby with the reincarnated twin and hope the baby would get the technique and likely in most cases the baby got nothing. But they managed with Yuuji, they managed a baby that could withstand Sukuna and cage him and had the potential to unlock the hereditary technique. 

Thus Yuuji has a completely separate soul because he’s not Jin, he’s Jin’s son. And he also has some Kaori and Kenjaku in him too, not their souls per se, just traits inherited from them. 

I don’t think they are biologically related at this point, I mean Sukuna and his twin, therefore also Yuuji isn’t biologically related to Sukuna. Neither Sukuna is the same exact body he’d started in and his twin’s soul had gone through several bodies. But their souls are related. The twin’s soul still had the capability to pass down the hereditary technique. Sukuna can recreate his original body, has retained his memories, his consciousness and his cursed technique and cursed energy. So on some level they are related but it’s just quite complex and not straightforward.

what's funny to me about all the recent yuuji hype is that some of us have been saying the same thing since forever like welcome!!! you're late to the party but welcome!!! don't turn your backs on my son again or i will hunt you down

[maddyshome]

Everyone thought this must mean Kenjaku did some incredibly evil shit that's just as bad if not worse than the Death Painting experiment. What could be so terrible that even Sukuna thinks it's gross??

As it turns out he just doesn't like that they fucked his brother.

[maddyshome]

I was thinking more along the brothers thing but I guess uncle nephew works out cuz Sukuna is the always gone uncle who is probably a serial killer, but you have no proof, no one knows what job he has, all kids in the family are scared of him, grandma always cries when he comes home cuz they argue and he appears just to roast.

[maddyshome]

OMG yessss i said it before

Cannot believe Kenny is dead w/o a battle vs Yuuji where Yuuji finds out.

Ok, so:

Megumi DOESN'T KNOW Toji is his father, and that he actually fought him.

Yuuji DOESN'T KNOW Kenjaku is his mother, while he being the villain.

Yuuji DOESN'T KNOW Sukuna's his uncle, while he's being basically Yuuji's biggest cause of despair.

When will Gege start giving us THEIR REACTIONS?! It's important they know and we NEED to see the reactions to such big developments.
