My country made our lives hell to defend your country, now we are under attack but I see yall using the world arabian gulf instead of the true Persian Gulf, I see you hating Iranians, you want freedom but you care about being Arab more, when all Arabs turned their backs on you.

Ask box closed, I'm sick of all your messges. Never wanna see them again.

we need to slow down a little I'm so serious. all these quick short videos on tiktok, ig reels, and youtube, artists releasing quick little songs for the trend, tv shows releasing episodes at once, people using chat gpt and google ai overview because they get answers quickly but no validation done for the source, we need to sloww downn i really do not think our brains should be running this fast

Hi!! I'd like to ask you, after all that happened, do you think the new generation of Jujutsu Kaisen had managed to break the generational trauma of their world? Sorry for tautology.

Thank you

So basically, you're asking:

Did Gojo successfully reform the Jujutsu World?

The answer to that question is no - at the start of the series Jujutsu relies on child soldiers to exorcise curses in an endless cycle. At the end of the series the child soldiers are still child soldiering. However, I wouldn't go so far as to say that the story is pointless or that Jujutsu Kaisen had a negative dystopian ending like My Hero Academia. Gojo's reforms were doomed from the beginning, Gojo never planned on revolutionizing that much about Jujutsu Society because Gojo IS Jujutsu Society.

If you look at the ending one way, Gojo got exactly what he wanted. The elders are dead, the only adults left around are either Gojo's allies like Utahime, Shoko, Ijichi, Takuma Ino and Kusakabe and ones with no particularly loyalty to anyone that can be bought with money like Mei Mei.

Gojo outlined his proposed reforms early on in the manga, and never at any point did he say he was going to tear down the system. Gojo's goal in recruiting children was to raise them up into powerful allies who would eventually replace the people on top.

The only thing Gojo really changed about his plan over the course of Jujutsu Kaisen is that he decided to speed up the process by killing the elders and making a monster of himself, when he realizes that if he's not around the elders might do something like declare all of his allies enemies of the state or put another execution order on Yuji.

Even then it's not to dismantle the system, it's a purely pragmatic decision because after Shibuya the elders all tried to eliminate every single one of the members of Gojo's faction by declaring them outlaws and putting an execution order out on anyone who tried to unseal him from the box. Gojo is slaughtering the elders to prevent that from happening again.

Even then Gojo is not really changing the way that power is distributed in his society, it's still all concentrated at the top. Gojo is not some radical who wants to destroy the system, the most radical thing he does killing the elders he follows up by immediately putting Gakuganji in charge, the old man who tried to use his own students to assassinate another student. He kills all the old men and then replaces them with another old man - guys Gojo is not a down with the system person.

Gojo is the kind of person who would argue that everything wrong with the system is the result of a few bad apples, and if you took those people out then the system would be fixed. That is his plan essentially. Gojo never had the revelation that Geto did, that Jujutsu Society is essentially feeding children into a meat grinder by making child sorcerers exorcise curses again and again in an endless cycle. He never had that moment where he realized that maybe being a child soldier is bad and children shouldn't have to fight in the first palce.

Gojo doesn't understand the hardship of the lifestyle of an average Jujutsu Sorcerer, because he lives for Jujutsu. He's not even remotely disappointed when he found out that Sukuna killed him, because that was how he always expected to die, young and in the middle of battle.

The fact that sorcerers die pointlessly over and over again doesn't affect Gojo the way that it does Geto, because for Gojo that is the life he was born into. That was how he lived, and that's how he expected to die. Gojo fits so well into the world of Jujutsu that he is perfectly content being a cog who exists solely to exorcise curses, and he doesn't understand why someone like Geto would ever become dissatisfied by it or leave.

Gojo is upset when elders abuse the youth, but that's specifically because Gojo does not like how the older generation clings to power instead of handing the reigns to the next generation. Gojo's ideology is notably the opposite of Sukuna's because while Sukuna believes that weak people should know their place and stay underneath him, Gojo wants the students that he's raising to eventually surpass him.

Gojo definitely did want to protect children so they could live out their youth, (mainly because Gojo is projecting onto them his sorrow over having his springtime of youth with Geto ripped away) but Gojo does not understand that it's the entire world of Jujutsu that's a threat to the youth.

He doesn't understand say the way that Nanami does, that the students at Jujutsu High while powerful Jujutsu Sorcerers are ultimately just children, and shouldn't have to be exposed to this violence or given such adult responsibilities at this age.

Gojo understands that when he was younger, he was left behind. Geto could not keep up with the monumental task of being a sorcerer, Geto could not remain a part of the endless cycle of consumption and exorcism anymore so he just left. Gojo not only didn't understand why he left, at the time he didn't have the strength to leave with him or go outside the system the way that Geto did.

Gojo's proposed reforms of society all come from Geto's defection and the moment of revelation he has afterwards. One that he didn't see the problem coming with Geto until it was too late, and two that strength wasn't enough to save Geto. Despite the fact that Gojo was the strongest Jujutsu Sorcerer in the world, and despite the fact he could have easily killed Geto and that entire crowd of people Gojo was useless in that moment and there was not a single thing he could do or say to save his friend's soul or make his friend stay.

Considering these two revelations Gojo comes to the conclusion that he can be the strongest person in the world, but he still can't do anything he wants. What he needs are allies. Not only that, he needs to fix his mistake, so the next generation will be strong enough, that they'll all be able to support each other and no one will break like Geto did.

If you understand that from Gojo's point of view Jujutsu Society isn't an inherently bad thing, it was just a few corrupt people making it bad, and the to Gojo the lifestyle of a sorcerer is fun then it makes sense to Gojo the solution is to just raise a stronger generation or sorcerers who will a) replace the corrupt elders and b) be strong enough to support each other so another Geto situation doesn't happen.

From that angle, Gojo actually set out to achieve everything he wanted to achieve. The elders are dead, his allies are in control, and his students are all powerful and work together in ways that Gojo never could because he's always been a one man act.

However, if you look at the world the corrupt system is still pretty much in place. Simple domain no longer sucks the life force out of its users, and the Zen'in are gone, but Yuta apparently becomes head of the Gojo family meaning the clan system is still in place. Children are still being sent out together on missions instead of I don't know... learning math.

The revolution never occurred, because Gojo was never planning a revolution in the first place.

However, after spending this entire post bashing Gojo (he's my favorite character I promise I'm just tsundere) I will point out that he is succesful in one regard, and that Gojo is willing to step down and let someone else take the reigns. What Gojo hated the most was that the elders clung to power, enforcing outdated traditions, instead of letting the younger generation surpass them.

Gojo wants the younger generation to not only surpass him, but to do things in a completely different way than he did. Gojo was able to learn that there are other kinds of strength than just the way that he is strong. Something Sukuna doesn't learn or acknowledge until Yuji ultimately defeats him not through physical strength but the strength of his ideals. Gojo's saving grace is that he realizes that he can be wrong, and he's limited and he thinks the next generation can do far better than he can.

We see that happen onscreen too, Gojo gives his all to fight against Sukuna and beat him and loses. The peak of the sorcery world loses to Sukuna in a contest of strength and fails to save Megumi and his students because strength can only accomplish so much. Gojo is extremely limited in what he can do ultimately, which is why he trusts the unlimited potential of the next generation. Yuji surpasses Gojo, not by unlocking domain expansion, but by showing a different kind of strength.

Yuji's is a strength that allows for weakness to exist. The strength of empathy and cooperation which are traits that Yuji embodies. This is how he does things differently that Gojo.

I think it's telling that Gojo's domain expansion is one that overloads the human brain with information until they practically go braindead, while Yuji's domain expansion transported him and Sukuna to his hometown, and gave him time to speak with Sukuna and plead his case to try to convince Sukuna that he should care about people. Yuji's strength comes from caring for others and it's that strength that makes even the king of curses admit his loss and reconsider the way he lived that life.

So, Jujutsu Kaisen did not really end with the generational trauma broken, or the system reformed, but it did show us at least that the strength of Yuji's compassion is enough to turn a curse into a blessing. As shown when the final panel is Sukuna's finger, once an evil cursed object that attracted other curses, is now a ward that can protect others since the curse has finally been exorcised.

🌍✨ A Voice from Gaza: Fighting for Hope ❤️‍🩹

Hi, my name is Mosab , and I’m from Gaza. Life here has been harder than I could ever imagine, but today I’m sharing my story with hope in my heart, because your kindness has already given us so much strength.

This journey hasn’t been easy. The war has taken 25 family members from us—25 beautiful souls we loved deeply. Their laughter, their presence, their love… all of it is gone, leaving behind memories that are both precious and painful. Every day, I carry the weight of their loss, but I also carry their spirit, which gives me the strength to keep going.

Our Journey So Far

When I first reached out, I couldn’t have imagined we’d make it this far. Your support has been a light in these difficult times, and we are so deeply grateful for every single contribution.

But the road ahead is still challenging. Every day, we’re reminded of how much we’ve lost and how much we still need to rebuild.

Here’s what life in Gaza looks like for my family right now:

🏠 Safety: The uncertainty of tomorrow weighs heavily on us.

😢 Loss: The absence of the 25 family members we’ve lost is a pain we carry every moment.

💔 Dreams on Hold: The future feels so far away when survival takes all our strength.

How You Can Help Us Cross the Finish Line Even the smallest act of kindness can make a difference:

$5 may seem small, but for us, it’s a little relief, a moment of comfort, and a reminder that kindness still exists. ❤️

Can’t donate? Reblog this post to help us reach someone who can. Every share matters more than you know.

✅️ Vetted by @gazavetters ( #309 ) ✅️

Why Your Support Matters Your kindness isn’t just about helping us meet our goal—it’s about reminding us that we’re not alone in this fight. It’s about hope. It’s about survival. And it’s about giving my family a chance to rebuild our lives, even in the face of unimaginable loss.

Thank you for helping us get this far. Your generosity and compassion have already brought us closer to a better tomorrow, and for that, I’m endlessly grateful.

With all my love and gratitude,

Mosab and Family ❤️

this is perhaps evil but I can boost my mood in almost any situation by playing a game called "what was my mom doing at this age?" like rn for instance I'm sleepy because I had a 12 hour work day + stayed up late, and my stomach hurts a little from the enormous chimichanga I smashed for dinner, and my head hurts a little bit from the fat margaritas I had with the chimichanga. and it's like hmm, okay, not optimal, but when my mom was this age she had a 2.5 year old to deal with. can you fucking imagine. can't stay in bed decadently bemoaning your overindulgences because there's a goblin in the next room that's utterly dependent on you for food and hygiene and social needs and if you drop the ball you've fucked up a perfectly good person. and I'm pretty normal so shout out to her for keeping it together but god that couldn't be me, I like fucking around way too much.

i had a dream i worked in an underwater restaurant and people kept ordering ice in their drinks and then getting mad at me when it would float away. and i’d tell them beforehand that the ice would float away & they’d be like lol no that’s not how it works just give me the ice. I’m fighting customer service battles never seen before

hi, a lot of you need a perspective reset

the average human lifespan globally is 70+ years

taking the threshold of adulthood as 18, you are likely to spend at least 52 years as a fully grown adult

at the age of 30 you have lived less than one quarter of your adult life (12/52 years)

'middle age' is typically considered to be between 45-65

it is extremely common to switch careers, start new relationships, emigrate, go to college for the first or second time, or make other life-changing decisions in middle age

it's wild that I even have to spell it out, but older adults (60+) still have social lives and hobbies and interests.

you can still date when you get old. you can still fuck. you can still learn new skills, be fashionable, be competitive. you can still gossip, you can still travel, you can still read. you can still transition. you can still come out.

young doesn't mean peaked. you're inexperienced in your 20s! you're still learning and practicing! you're developing social skills and muscle memory that will last decades!

there are a million things to do in the world, and they don't vanish overnight because an imaginary number gets too big

March sketch request from patreon! The lovely @curbstompthestars wrote a drabble for it ♥️

From the doorway, Satoru watches his lover closely observing his reflection in the bathroom mirror. It must be that time, he realizes with excitement, for Suguru to shave the prickly stubble from his jaw. The dark, coarse hair grows in uneven patches along his face, so Suguru, who is unable to and doesn't care to grow a beard, prefers to remove his scratchy whiskers with an old-fashioned straight razor. Satoru, too, prefers the smoothness of a fresh, clean shave, and in the early mornings when he is awake before his lover can serve breakfast, Suguru welcomes him into his grooming routine with a fond half-smirk and a flirtatious wink.

With a lil bonus.

I read things like this and instantly get reminded of the day Haikyuu fans found out sakusa and komori were cousins

“go to hell” is basic “i hope one person in your gay ship refers to the other in canon as ‘like a brother to me’ as a way of expressing affection for him, thus leading people online to think they are actually related” is smart. it’s possible. it’s happened to me like five times.
