yuuji's domain represents the nirvana

i made a little analysis about yuuji's domain in 265 and the way i think it represents the state of nirvana

1. the concept of nirvana

in buddhism, nirvana represents the ultimate stat of enlightenment, where one escapes from the cycle of life and death (samsara), and achieves the highest possible level of peace and freedom. in nirvana, one is liberated from suffering and negative emotions such as greed and hatred (take yuuji's hatred towards sukuna).

2. yuuji's domain

yuuji's domain is a non-combat domain. in fact, he mentions that he "doesn't even know what it is", and the mere reason he opened it was because he was desperate to talk to sukuna. the domain itself features various locations from yuuji's childhood - train station, park with a crawfish lake, farm. on one panel, we see horses - in buddhism, horses symbolise the journey towards spiritual liberation.

all of these locations have a sense of innocence and simplicity - a sharp contrast to sukuna's domain which is a hellscape, with a shrine as its only "landmark". there is a sense of tranquility and peace within yuuji's domain, as if a world without suffering exists.

3. yuuji's purpose

yuuji's purpose for opening his domain isn't to fight or kill. he simply wanted to talk to sukuna. his actions in this arc prove that he has no intentions to harm anybody - his first and foremost purpose is to protect people and he does so through any means necessary. his willingness to sacrifice himself for others and his pure heart, despite everything that happened to him, is what gives him his strength.

yuuji sharing his memories and experiences with sukuna is aligned with the buddhist practice of seeking understanding and enlightenment through introspection and dialogue, rather than conflict.

4. yuuji's perspective on life

yuuji rejects the notion that humans are mere tools with predetermined roles, explaining that even the simplest acts, like walking a dog or nurturing a family, hold intrinsic value. this perspective challenges sukuna's nihilism, emphasizing that every life, no matter how seemingly insignificant, has worth.

finding the joy in the smallest things - the joy that is often overlooked in the world, is a crucial aspect of nirvana, hence yuuji's focus on his past - the simplest moments of his childhood, which are full of joy and innocence.

5. buddha statue and kshitigarbha

yuuji's hand sign, a mudra symbolizing kshitigarbha, and the presence of the buddha statue we see in this chapter, are both an indicator of his enlightenment, as he is able to use a domain as a result of his awakening. the story of kshitigarbha ties in closely with the fact that yuuji offers sukuna a chance of salvation, if he releases megumi. this is an act of kindness, compassion and benevolence, in spite of sukuna's crimes, just like kshitigarbha offering a chance of enlightenment to all beings who were stuck in the depths of hell, as he saw value and worth in each of them.

6. the role of a person

when yuuji discusses the role of a sorcerer and rejects the notion of people being mere tools, the panels featuring the faces of those he respected and lost—wasuke, nanami, nobara, gojo, choso, and junpei—are a clear indication that yuuji, unlike sukuna, does not consider humans disposable and worthless. yuuji respects them, mourns them, and wants to make sure they are not forgotten.

these values are important in buddhism and are what makes a person worthy of nirvana: the willingness to accept the nature of things, the value of life, the importance of kindness and benevolence, and respect and care for others. basically, yuuji as a person embodies the core concepts of buddhism and its ultimate goal - nirvana.

Best MaruRen moment?

ohhh that's a tough one but i think i'll go with episode 19, when marucho and ren fought each other for the first time since ren left the brawlers.

that episode was just *chef's kiss* maruren drama galore. marucho saying he'd bring the old ren back, the real ren. ren stating that his time with marucho was all fake and this was the real him. both of them brought to tears because marucho wants ren back and ren can't allow himself to go back to the brawlers!! and he especially can't show his confliction in front of nurzak, but nurzak notices the crack in ren's facade anyway and discovers how ren truly feels.

awkimos urging linehalt to stop the fight because it's pointless and it's only hurting marucho and ren. nurzak preventing ren from fighting marucho because he now knows ren is forcing himself to fight. marucho getting pissed at nurzak for interrupting his fight with ren. the sacred orb stopping the fight altogether!!

marucho concluding that the only reason the sacred orb intervened was to stop two friends from fighting and he becomes more hopeful than ever that ren will return to him them hnnnnnghhh everyone should go watch episode 19 NOW!!!

I love how Michael Sheen could very easily laugh with the rest of the talk show and be like “oh yeah those cringy fanfic writers they are so crazy what weirdos” but instead he’s always defending us and saying how cool it is 🥺 Even if everyone looks at him like come on dude really?

When I was a teen writing fanfic and drawing fanart that would have meant the world to me. Still does tbh.

if there's one thing people need to know about me it's that I'm obsessed with Roman timekeeping and calendars

if there are two things, it's that I'm obsessed with Roman timekeeping and calendars and also Ovid and his role in our understanding of Roman timekeeping and calendars

Random thought but what province would have the largest anti-venom/venomics study sort of area.

+ Since poison spells are a part of the Restoration school of magic, would venom also be studied (yeah poison and venom are different but like, a trained healer would probably learn more about both regardless I would think)

Would this field of study mainly consist of Bosmeri, Redguard, and the Saxhleel (Argonians) due to natural resistances/immunities? Which again, yeah, the whole poison vs venom thing but I feel like the games just mix the two together regardless so...

I keep falling deeper and deeper into the rabbit hole that is One Piece, I'm literally this close to starting a reread of the manga

[simplydnp]

so common tell us the albums!!!!

the first was post traumatic by mike shinoda--i randomly got an ad on youtube for a chunk of this song, and it was fantastic

that album is not for the faint of heart, it's extremely emotional and painful. if you're gonna attempt it, follow the tracklist order and you'll listen through the stages of grief and reach your own catharsis.

a little less heavy is 3 (the purple album) by lukas graham. an entirely different vibe, with perhaps one exception (the first track). it's my favourite on the album, but i'm rather fond of most of them

i'm not usually an album girl, but both of these are stellar

I fell down a YouTube rabbit hole and watched some videos about people who pretended to be Anastasia and it got me thinking.... Idk if this has been written before, but!

Batfam AU where Jason legally comes back from the dead but literally the whole world thinks he is a con artist pretending to be Bruce Wayne's dead son for money. Lots of reporters have tried to disprove his claim but no evidence will convince Bruce and the media thinks Bruce is too deep in his mourning/ too stupid to realize the truth. I mean come on, his eyes are green, a completely different color from the real Jason!

Jason is having the time of his life. This is the greatest prank of all time. He absolutely leans into it because it is a good cover but also because it is hilarious.
