As a break from the sad I think if Casey jr tried pulling the parent trap it would almost work ONCE and just end up like this
And like 20 minutes later

Izuku doesn't remember breaking the mirror. Doesn't hear the crash or feel the glass cut into his fist. All he knows is that one second, he's worrying a blister into his cheek with a paper towel, and the next, he's standing over a sink full of gleaming, red splattered glass shards.
The sight alone is enough to shock him out of his deluge.
He blinks. And then, after a moment of silent contemplation, he barks out a laugh. What the hell is wrong with him? He wishes he had an answer.

okay. so. I spent 6 hours talking to my mother today. somehow I survived.
the cruelest thing was that around the fifth hour she started being really nice and almost like a person I would like to talk to even if I didn't have to. really seemed to get some of the things I had said earlier.
and then when I was leaving - as in, literally putting my shoes on - she got this look on her face and said '.. and next time I want to ask you why you don't like me' as if that's totally normal. no hint of that the entire time we were talking or anything. 🙃

please, please stop sacrificing legibility for the sake of aesthetics, especially in your bios. not only does it risk it being missed just in general (folks with dark mode on, the screen dimmed, their color settings adjusted, etc), but it sacrifices accessibility. i personally have vertigo, chronic migraines, and blurry vision, and straining trying to read bios in colors that do not provide any solid visual contrast makes me dizzy, and hurts my head, and for the love of all things just,,,,remember disabled people exist and stop making me decide whether to make myself sick reading your bio, or block you knowing that if i could just read your damn bio i probably wouldn't have to

It's fucking wild to see someone defend Mei Mei and demand people to blame Gege instead for her pedophilia and grooming.
WTF?
If you love a dark character, then accept everything that they are in the story. Mei Mei is one. She is a side character that is dark despite being on the heroes' side of the fight.
I appreciate what Gege had done to her character. I like it because thru her we see how rotten the modern jujutsu society is - that the heroes' side is not exactly great especially with the likes of Gojo and Nanami being gone.
A lot of people already pointed out that Mei is used as a foil for Nanami. I agree. She is everything he is not:
- Nanami left stock trading. Mei is doing insider trading.
- Nanami fights for the greater good. Mei is only in it for the paycheck.
- Nanami protects children. Mei exploits children.
- Nanami continues to fight even if he is half-dead. Mei retreats even if she is still perfectly fine.
- Nanami has morals. Mei is immoral.
But why did someone good (Nanami) die a horrible death while someone bad (Mei Mei) got rewarded (practically highlighted with her escaping to Malaysia -which was Nanami's dream retirement place)? It's to highlight how broken and bleak jujutsu society is - bad people benefit but good people suffer. It also shows how the only difference between the sorcerers (sans our "heroes") and the curse users are just rule compliance and pay checks.
Speaking of which:
What Mei Mei is doing to Ui Ui is exactly like what that Granny Seance did to her Tojified Grandson. Both women are grooming boys younger than they into perfect tools to complement their CTs. They don't see them as brother or grandson respectively. Those words are mere "titles". It's like how you would call an giant axe "Axe" and straw dolls "Dolls."
Mei is the perfect example of what a peak sorcerer is in modern jujutsu society - strong and smart but selfish, self-absorbed, exploitative, and immoral.
I like Mei for what she delivers in the story:
1) A very dark character that represents the rotten core of the jujutsu society.
2) A complex female character - she is on your side but she is definitely not an ally you'd want. However, you need all the help you can get so you are forced to accept her but deep down you want her to get some comeuppance for all she's been doing.
3) Despite her... Mei-ness, she still has a really cool character design and powers as well as really badass scenes.
4) An excellent foil to Nanami (and maybe even Gojo if I stretch it a bit).
5) A great reminder that with the exception of the sorcerers within Gojo's close circle (Tokyo Tech staff/alumni + Utahime & her students), sorcerers are absolute scumbags. Mei's principle is pretty similar to Sukuna's! They're all about: Me, Myself, and I living it up and having fun at everyone's expense.
6) She is the closest I could get to a "villainess" in JJK. The villains in JJK is male-dominated with 2 gender-neutrals (Hanami + Uraume). Geto's family has very little screen time for me to get something out of them (Lady Secretary, Nanako & Mimiko). Yeah it's shonen but still... Gege is starving me with good villainesses 😭.
So TLDR: Mei Mei is not defensible but feel free to like/love her anyway. Being a fan of villains or dark characters is not a representation of a person's morals after all. Do not blame Gege for using her as a narrative tool to remind people again ( because we have to admit that we always kinda forget): the world of JJK is unfair and it really fucking sucks being a nice person there. Not that Gege is a perfect writer at all. There are plenty of other stuff to be angry about in his work like the pacing for example or the underutilization of interesting side characters or the story being so "scattered" into various mediums.

I know I don't really owe anyone an explanation as to why I haven't been posting my own stuff recently, but my mental health has been really bad lately, I've barely had motivation to make big stuff, or even anything I feel fit for posting
dealing with both end of semester stress and endless barrages of constantly questioning the safety of the world around me just kinda takes the energy out of me to devote to drawing
