GEGE WHEN I CATCH YOU!!!!!!

jjk rant

biiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii-

ALERT POSSSIBLE JJK SPOILERS/SPECULATIONS AHEAD!!!!!!!!!

i am nooooot okay. Gege is an actual villain. I have been listening to nothing but deathbed by powfu, some song by Laufey with froyo edits on tiktok (song is Promise, aka "it hurts to be something, it's worse to be nothing with youuuuu), and Mr. Loverman ON REPEAT for THE WHOLLLLLLLLLE MORNING. i HAVENT EVEN HAD MY HEARTBROKEN (recently). FELL ASLEEP AT LIKe 4 am to fluff after the chp spoilers found on tumblr and even awoke to try to write some comforting fluff myself. like fr I don't even fw Gojo that heavy -nananim stans- but this stuff that mangakas are pulling is getting out of freaking hand. the day Yuuji dies I don't want anyone to talk to me bc if I'm not okay right now I have no idea what state I will be in. i have literally been snuggling with my teddies for 1/2 the morning trying not to cry. like seriously eyes were almost getting blurry as I type this and Loverman plays in the background. this is NOT okay. they are fictitious characters so why the actual fudge am I so sad.

and to make matters worse I saw a glimpse of a rumor on tumblr that satorou is dead but there going to put yuuta, who is also apparently dead, in his body to use him as a weapon to fight sukuna who has POSSESSED MEGUMI!!!!!!! And then someone had THE SHEER AUDACITY to create a post with Gojo, Yuuji, and Yuuta smiling on top, and Poor little Megumi curled up in a ball in some domain all by himself. And it read top: "and tell your 'babies' bottom: that I'm your 'baby' too" and after that I had to go to bed bc this is not alright. idk what type of pain Gege is getting off to but this has got to be sick twisted and ILLLEEEEEEEEEGAL. AND MIND YOU I'M NOT EVEN WATCHING THE ANIMEEEEEEEEEEE! Virtually everything Ik ik ik against my will thx to edits and genreal content floating around online and yes ik "the algorithm yada yada" but RIGHT NOW I DO NOT CARE bc this level of international cruelty should not exist. yes ik there are really issues going on and I cry myself to sleep about those other days of the week but rn the wave of grief I'm feeling over all of this screams to be attended to.

literally got a call today and will have to call them back bc if I picked up the phone my voice was gonna sound sore as if I were crying and how THE HEY HEY HEY am I supposed to explain to him that I've been in bed rotting for hours and watching edits of heartbroken lovers that met tragic ends, on the brink of bawling my eyes out over people THAT AREN'T REALLLLL!!! Yeah, I'm in no mood for a psychiatric visit, so yeah no<3

Gege when I Catch you. No bc AOT was one thing. That beach was sad af. but this is a whole other story. in the aot verse there were so. many. characters. There were nations at war, factions, squadrons. they were AT WAR. there were hundreds, thousands, millions, but this is just sick and twisted bc I feel like the jjk storyline is slightly less character dense and so you truly have an opportunity to find a sense of intimacy in the relationships that you have the opportunity of viewing and getting to know and EVERY TIME GEGE BEARS THE DEPTHS OF A CHARACTER'S HEART, WILL, AND SOUL TO THE AUDIENDICE THEY WIND UP DEAD !!!!!! this is no longer ok. call help. SOMEBODY PLS GET HELP. Gege has to be held accountable bc this is getting out of handddddd😭😭😭😭(yes I am aware that I am griping and moaning and that realistically speaking artist reserve every single right to do whatever the heck they want with their art and don't owe anyone ship. A girl is simply in her feelings and will continue to do so until further notice.)

[honeycreammilkshake]

That analysis about Sukuna and Gojo is SO good. I actually think they are really jealous that we love Sukuna even at his lowest. Also, why are they blaming Gege saying he treated Gojo like a tool? Isn't that what his fans do with him? Like, 90% of the discussion about him is his fight with Sukuna. Like, they NEED that fight, it's like Gojo stops existing without it

I'll tell you what, Sukuna can lose 100 fights that he will still be a character, maybe Gojo can't do that if he basically disappears unless they need to convince themselves Gojo won and how important that fight is. It's amazing how a lot of Sukuna fans don't even want that fight anymore while I saw even gojo stans begging sukuna stans to recognize that fight. Myself? I wish it never happened. Let gojo die to those supposed superior villains (aka didn't kill gojo) gojo stans say, but everytime you say "ok then Gojo should have fought Mahito or Kenjaku, never Sukuna!" They just get triggered and say NO, PLEASE, THE FIGHT WITH SUKUNA SHOULD HAPPEN

See? Now I really hope sukuna comes back and gojo doesn't. I'm sorry, but I have never been THIS tired of a fandom, and I have been in Naruto and other fandoms with shipping wars and everything, but that was never as BAD as this.

Leave Sukuna alone, not my fault he doesn't need Gojo to be a character, sorry

gooooood morning, anon. i'm so glad i woke up to this because i spent a lot of time thinking about that gojo vs sukuna last night.

i have noticed that a lot of people hate that gojo is a "tool" in the manga and yet their own headcanons about him are always that he should have to fight sukuna and win. notice that they always want gojo to win, which is never easy in a fight with sukuna. it's a lot of hard work. but besides that, wanting a character to do only one thing and have it go with only one outcome, that's about as one-dimensional as you can get with that character. they literally only want one thing to come from gojo going into that fight, and that's no better than gege treating him like a tool as they claim.

because even if they want gojo to be this complex and fascinating character (ngl i feel like a lot of his personality traits are a bit like filler - he's just a mix of all the fan favorite and common tropes of other anime mentors with some backstory to stir it all together) him only doing one thing ever (winning) is so boring and doesn't do his character justice at all. and the fans who hate on gege can't really see that.

meanwhile, sukuna is more than capable of being a strong character who can have multiple different outcomes, and not all of them have to be him winning. in fact, some of his best moments are when he has to work harder or reconfigure a different plan. it always make him more complex and interesting.

so that's why sukuna winning made since while gojo winning didn't. because sukuna actually had a plan in motion, he wasn't cheating or being fake because he needed to possess megumi to reach that level of power (he didn't even have all 20 fingers so him making up for the lack of it by possessing megumi was an intelligent move on so many different levels) and his unique cursed techniques and longtime experience made him an inherently better fighter than gojo. now i could care less if their positions were reversed and gojo was the one who had a lot more experience fighting, because it doesn't matter when sukuna actually does his best to learn from others and improve his abilities as he goes along. meanwhile, a lot of fans just want gojo to be powerful and not have to take a lesson from others in order to reach it.

another thing is, gojo was born the strongest and given so much wealth and special treatment. even if the jjk world only wanted to use him as a tool (which, cmon, they do to every sorcerer - the whole point of sorcerers is to serve as tools that restabilize the imbalances of power, even Geto's character understood they were all just cogs) gojo still had a lot of privileges and second chances given to him that not a lot of other characters could afford to have.

and idk if we can really confirm this or not, but sukuna seems to have a totally different experience, one where he was immediately shunned by the normal world and only seen as a force of strength for other sorcerers to test their skills against. i don't think anyone took ending sukuna's reign of terror that seriously, they only wanted to claim the title of being the strongest. not only that, so much about sukuna is still a mystery or very layered, mostly him being contradicting (especially where yuuji is concerned) and not revealing his past.

this turned out to be longer than i thought it would, but yeah... it's been on my mind a lot. gojo's character served a purpose when he died. not only did it show how much of a pure threat sukuna is (even if all that power wasn't inherently his own, it still shows he's good at coming up with plans that counterbalance his other weaknesses) but it also showed us how gojo's character can be seen in an entirely different light: someone who lost. he always thought he could win anything, but him dying showed a different side to him, because he even looked peaceful during death.

and if he comes back, fans don't realize it would mean that afterlife scene with geto would be simply meaningless. they adore stsg so much so i'm actually surprised that they want gojo to come back to life, bc it would mean leaving geto behind. makes no sense to me.

anyways, thanks for sharing your thoughts with me, anon. i hope this day goes well for you!

reviewing jujutsu kaisen since i just finished the anime last night and let me just SAYH

it's amazing???

GOJO????? ill get into him a bit later tho

his 3 dumb students??? who, in all seriousness, are so well fleshed out?

yujis trauma of witnessing his grandfather pass away right in front of him & thus making sure that his last words were not in vain & he'd do justice by them like ur a kid relax BUT NO he'll eat a dirty finger if necessary

while everyone's making sure the success of the mission, our boi is here breaking down bcs some of the curses turned out to be human

like

it's so satisfying to see that on screen yes show me ur moral compass 🧭 stay true to ur characterization ur doing wonderful

why is he so fast someone EXPLAIH N

megumi????? AND HIS HAND SIGNS?? (($;_;;;*;*+7*++_+##+_++_+##

by FAR one of the hottest things ive seen so far

🖖🤛🐺 🐺 🐺 👐🦅🦅🦅 RIP

his hair

someone tell him saloons exist

him holding back his potential but then going fuck it and summoning his own domain????

we love character development ☺️

i have so many good things to say about this good bad boii bitch we RECOMMEND

NOBARA

BITCH

UM

ive waited SO LONG for a female lead character to not get lost in the aggravating trope of basically becoming the third wheel of a 3-member group *cough* sakura *cough* orihime *cough* not spitting any fire but they had held so much potential and the creators basically went 🥱🥱

BUT NOT IN THIS HOUSE

the way she works SO WELL and so so EFFECTIVELY with the team?? With YUJIII???? ESPECIALLY WHEN THEYRE FIGHTING THOSE TWO BROTHER CURSES!! THEY WAY SHE HOLDS HER OWN

THIS IS ALL GONNA BE IN CAPS NOW

BCS

I FELT THE TEAMWORK I FELT WHERE THEY STOOD IN EACH OTHERS' LIVES I FELT THE WHOLESOMENESS THE CAPABILITY THE POTENTIAL THE HEART THE POWERRR OF THE TEAM BCS OUR BAD BITCH HERE REFUSED TO BE STEREOTYPED

all the women in jujutsu kaisen

ALL OF THEM

so well written and fleshed out they're given their strengths as well as their weaknesses, their story as well as their matching personalities, the role they contribute to the anime and it's story as well as their own short individual arcs (and by short, i mean like literally 2min clips of their past but such significant moments u immediately feel where they come from so kudos to the writer WELL PORTRAYED)

it was such a breath of fresh air honestly

gojo

GO

JO

PLE A SE I-

LIKE DADDY chill

WHY IS HE SO POWERFUL????

WHO ALLOWED HIM TO HAVE SO MUCH CONFIDENCE?????

AND WHYYY DOES HE SIT LIKE THAT???????????

BUT AM I MAD 💢😡 ?!?!?!?!!

id let this guy mansplain manspread manipulate manage manhandle me SO FAST😤😤😩😩

he's basically that overpowered, overwhelmingly significant character in a story but it's executed so perfectly that im not even upset i demand more of his single-celled dumb ass

oh U can shoot weird purple curse balls stand on the neck of really powerful curses defeat any enemy break barriers threaten the elders & still look undefeatable?? we STAN

he owned every scene he was in ngl wish he owned me 2 tho i wanna get trapped in his infinity ♾️ bro pls

me tastin' that dick

him basically adopting megumi and raising him i-

him lowkey threatening to slaughter the entire upper echelon of his community bcs the student he's known for like a day died for 2 secs

he's the most powerful jujutsu sorcerer alive but everyone who knows him or has ever met him (nanami) is like pls just

there's so much to appreciate

Nanami boi im

i want him to ratio this body to find the quickest way to orgasm bcs-

KINNNG 👑

lowkey ship him with that baker girl

the notion of Sebastian Stan and Jennifer Lawrence existing in the same universe as jujutsu kaisen is wild to me but godmn hilarious

the blonde girl on her broomstick likes the winter soldier lmaoooo same

"what's your type of woman?" BRUUZEEEEEER

Todo was such a wholesome character

👏 that curse 👏 thick boiiii 👏

OKAY SO some things about CERTAIN technicalities regarding techniques

I think my ONLY issue in the anime is that the power of ones Curse is never really explained properly

How do they develop different kinds

Where does it originate from

How are some people born with curse energies and some arent

Like yuji learns them on the spot and it's a bit jarring bcs as the viewers we're still learning the extent and classes of curses and curse users AND JUST NEW ABILITIES KEEP POPPIN UP all, "there's this cool trick did u know about it?" oh and for the sake of the plot, "i can now totally do this" (ones domain becoming weak from exterior force acting upon it rather than an interior force acting upon it from within) a convenience that popped out of nowhere it makes sense, but wish abilities were explained better, so the build up is more rewarding? the black flash for example, with yujis powerful ability coupled with his curse dragging a split moment behind his initial attack, shouldnt he already be accessing the point-break of his attack colliding with the curse energy of his foe? what i didn't understand is, does one have to focus on that point of collision for it to activate and force ones energy into it? I DONT GET IT I SWEAR IM NOT DUMB unless it's been explained and i completely missed it

Gojos infinity ♾️ I love it but why can't others use the same technique? Or is it only singular to Gojo, bcs if so, it's never really said? How does one just .. create new abilities like that

The students are in high school but there aren't any classes?? I get the whole on-field, hands-on lessons/missions to get recommended and move to higher grades, but NOTHING ABOUT curses and their history for newbies to learn from?? Alright my bad

that area is still a bit blurry to me but i haven't read the manga and just joined the fandom so i guess ill learn new things as i thirst along or if somebody could PLS explain lmao

OTHER THAN THAT

I loved the animation, it was so fluid and the motions were executed so flawlessly

the action scenes were rewarding and delivered it's intended blows and full of emotion at times that i 🥺🥺

the comedy's everything??? megumi and yujis chemistry was so heartwarming and hilarious GOD don't become enemies/rivals pls lmao SPEAKING OF, the times i thought they would esp when yuji surpasses megumi, the anime takes a whole new approach where there's no enmity just healthy acknowledgement of their friends growth and how focusing on themselves better might help them achieve their own full potential, as seen when megumi activates his shadow domain after an eye-opening talk with gojo

such healthy displays of being teammates

after watching animes where two besties start challenging one another so aggressively after one surpasses them, this was just...we see u and we APPRECIATE

i know u guys know what im talking about when i say WHEN CHARACTERS GET INTO EACH OTHERS' PERSONAL SPACE LIKE THEYRE ALMOST ABOUT TO KISS

I KNOW U GUYS KNOW IM NOT INSANE

the subtlety of the motions, peoples reactive facial expressions, it's just so real??? like,,,, when gojo meets yuji for the first time, as he's talking he gets into yujis personal space all suave and yujis like "omgg im nervous??" 💖

OVERALL

i can't wait for the second season

also WHERES THE MOVIE I WANT TO WATCH THE MOVIE SO BAD BUT ITS NOT AVAILABLE YET????????

the will to survive has never been stronger

wow this was TOO LONG a review but oh well it's one of my FAVS animes now 😤💖

[spdrvcd]

Little thoughts on Keiko’s impressions on various characters (not specific to any portrayals, ofc) because I’ve been talking about it with Cryptic on Discord:

Yuuji: would die for him and also kill for him. Yeah she thinks he’s stupid and weird for eating a cursed object but (eventually) she’s out here working with a curse for revenge and probable murder so what room does she have to judge??? thinks he’s sweet anyway even if she makes fun of him. Megumi: he intimidates her but she thinks he’s cool. wants to pet and hold all the shikigami. also looks up to him and admires him but you didn’t hear that from her. Nobara: keiko adores her and that is all there is to it! maybe she has a lil bit of a thing for her but it’s keiko so she herself probably doesn’t get that. stans nobara though. she’s a queen. Gojou: neither likes nor dislikes him?? respects him though. he’s just a little too loud for her liking, please spare her. also she’s scared of him the most when it comes to her binding vow/working w a curse.  Yaga: he’s like a dad/uncle kind of figure and she really likes his cursed corpses. wants to hold one. Nanami: absolute respect but he intimidates her too  Maki: also stans. but she’s kind of like megumi in that she intimidates keiko but she really admires her! would like to spend more time with her Toge: one that she isn’t so secretive about admiring/looking up to. wants to be like him! friends? tiny crush?? i don’t know but keiko has the social skills of a dead rat so good luck to her ig Panda: big and soft and warm. she actually opens up to him pretty easily. Yuuta: she’d probably be into him if she met him before he went abroad and she’s definitely curious about him from the way megumi and the second-years talk about him. would have been a little baby crush maybe??? but now with recent developments it’s more ‘you scare me but also fuck you i’m gonna throw hands if you come for yuuji’. and since she’s already been declared a curse user lined up for execution anyway, what’s the harm in doing exactly that??? Mai: keiko vc: stupid pretty zenin,,,, kinda wants to deck her for what she said about yuuji on their first meeting but is working on opening up to her again Todo: actually isn’t scared of him?? somehow??? but that’s probably first out of pure spite for their first meeting and then because yuuji said ‘oh he’s cool’ so she let it go Noritoshi: this one scares her! you’d actually for once see her visibly nervous and fidget-y around him Miwa: thinks she’s sweet and adorable, would probably be friends with her if given the chance Momo: also thinks she’s adorable but her attitude rubs keiko the wrong way so presently she’s kinda indifferent to her Kokichi: would also probably be friends w him if given the chance, and is admittedly curious about him Getou: keiko vc: fuck you and all the things you stand for, give my mother back Mahito: the literal worst she hates him the most Nanako & Mimiko: would love them and kinda hates that they’re running with Getou

Bonus under a cut bc OCs are canon in my fuckin house:

Kitiara / @needlxd: thinks she’s a badass, kindred spirits, wants to visit kyoto tech almost solely for her Hibiki / @muekura: parent unit. hitomi and shinji simply do not exist. Emiko / @yuugxn: kinda wants to kick her ass, but also tell her that she doesn’t have to hold herself to family standards bc look at all that got the hyodo family. stop limiting yourself woman keiko only wants to help Yasu / @yuugxn: literally the last bit of actual blood-related family she has but she doesn’t even know it until she’s already slated for execution??? keiko vc: bitch why didn’t you tell me sooner maybe i wouldn’t have started a murder campaign against what turned out to be my mother??? but also i love you  Tomeika / @eyescrsd: hates them, and then cares a lot about them, firmly believes they ruined her life in more ways than one but in the end at least she did her job??? would actually die for them by choice now though Getsumei / @anathxma: wants nothing more than to see him dead for all he’s done and is livid she didn’t get to do it personally. somehow only hates him slightly less than mahito, despite everything. it’s still hate with every fiber of her being though, and boy did she have a manic laughing fit when iyu dropped in to kill him herself.
