#especially Seiji .. he's ..

[coquelicoq]

actually natori has some kind of tracking talisman on matoba at all times. that's how he knew where to abduct matoba from for Operation: Kitty Cat City. matoba fully knows about it; it's why he wasn't at all surprised to find a paper doll in natsume's hair after the mask youkai debacle (matoba internally as he watched it fly away: classic mother hen shuuichi-san momence 🥰). because this is matoba "boundaries? what are those? can you eat them?" seiji we're talking about, he's not bothered by this "violation" of his "privacy"; rather, he finds it fittingly clingy (it is, after all, only right that natori should be keeping tabs on him obsessively). sometimes the talisman gets confused and sticks to yesterday's outfit, so he always checks to make sure he has it on the way out the door (his pocket patdown is "keys, lighter, wallet, exorcism supplies, shuuichi-san's cute lil tracker he thinks i don't know about <3"). i wouldn't be surprised if he's figured out how to uno reverse it and now uses it to track natori's location as well. this may not technically be canon but it is probably all 100% true in an important way that transcends canon, we just never hear about it because it isn't relevant to natsume's journey 😌

[haru-chi]

Why isn't Natori's cousin arc talked about much ?

It was such a masterpiece of a story. it was very powerful and tragic which just hurts so much and I'm not over it or I'll ever be, it also had so many things to talk about .. like a lot for example:

-the undying trust Natori had for Natsume that no words reached his heart like Natsume's words

-that deep sad desire inside his heart which later on got crushed in the ugliest of ways not once but twice

-the fact that the Natori clan might have some secret that led people fearing their return or hating them which might be what led someone to break the barriers that protect their house ?

-Natori hating himself more and more for being weak and having such simple desire (NOOOOO PLEASE T^T)

-Natori pushing himself through his trauma for Natsume's sake !!!

-Natori's family being as worse as Natsume's relatives! I SO HATE THEM AS MUCH AS NATSUME'S RELATIVES!! THOSE COWRDS!!

-some more exorcist lore! "I thought he would wear a hat" pleaaase that killed me I can't see him doing it xDDD

-Natori's complicated emotions about the Matoba ><

-"Mitsuru was never going to be the family I dreamed of. If she had been born, she wouldn't have been my ally but my enemy" >> this simply shattered my heart to pieces that I remember I took moments off the pages to recomposed myself .. too much I just can't okay T^T

-big BIG BIG respect for Natori's resolve and pride as an exorcist even if that actually hurts him or cast him in the dark since I thought he might actually regret being an exorcist sometimes but aaaaaaaaaaaa that resolve !!! I was happy yet sad and crying !!!

-"I'm glad you're the one who exorcised me Natori Shuuichi" >> nope I'm okay not breaking down in tears or anything at all T^T

-a bit on Natori and his shiki's relationship T^T

-Natsume's respect for Natori's choice at the end that he didn't interfere and hating himself for not being able to find a solution for both >&lt;

-WHAT WAS NATORI GONNA DO TO HIMSELF IF NATSUME DIDN'T APPEAR THIS IDIOT!!!!

I feel there's more things worth mentioning but those are what's on my mind right now, I so wanna expand on everything and talk much about them but can't with this very unstable health of mine for now T^T

must come back to it one day .. I must since this story is just another masterpiece from Midorikawa-sensei that need more people to talk about it .. no simple words can express what I feel about this arc ..

under the clouds, in my heart | g. satoru

it’s these kinds of days that make Satoru the happiest — that remind him of the wonderful things he has in his life now; thunderstorms where his wife and children are safe and protected inside of his home are all he could ask for

w — post canon! gojo, canon-divergence, pregnant! reader, former first-year student! reader, mentions of underage relationship, mentions of being in a former! student-teacher relationship, Papa Satoru & Mama Reader, Satoru and Reader have a (growing) big family, this ended up shorter than I anticipated

a/n: another fix it fic you guys 🤧 this one has been in my drafts longer than 236

[ apart of the TFFTS universe! ]

He loves seeing you cozied up in his sweaters, no matter the time of year (he secretly keeps it colder than normal in the summertime so you’ll put them on, but he’ll never tell you that). He loves how the hemline rests at your knees, a testament to the cute height difference between the two of you.

With your pregnancy belly, like now, sweaters only seem reach mid-thigh.

Ah, he’s not complaining.

He’s back from a mission overseas a day early, one he committed to speed-running like a demon so he could get back to his growing family. It wasn’t too necessary, considering he doesn’t have to do many more missions nowadays. The only reason he was summoned was because of his long, long influence, to which he most definitely used to get back faster.

But the universe hits his Pause button the second he warps back into his lovely home. For good reason. His heavenly blue eyes take in the scene in front of him, soul imprinting this memory into itself for eternity.

Seiji, his five-nearly-six year-old firstborn, was curled up on your lap, head using your thighs as a makeshift pillow. Traitor. Satoru can hear little snores escaping his lips at the awkward position his head is in. But if Satoru tilts his head, he can see his son’s protective decision from where his head and body lay.

Sanari, his sweet daughter, is curled up by your left arm. Her white curls of hair are splayed out on the pillow behind her as her head rests on your shoulders. Satoru chuckles. He can clearly see drool at the corner of her mouth pooling onto the sweater of his you’re wearing.

Lightning lights up the sky outside. And suddenly, the gushing sound of rain is all Satoru can hear — a downpour. Huh, the clouds had been just as white as his hair earlier. He supposes anything can happen though.

He can’t even see outside anymore now. The greenery has been completely overtaken by the opaque gray of the intense rain and thunderstorm.

Satoru’s head snaps back to you and his sleeping offspring. As much as he wants to join, he can’t bring himself to. He wants to do anything besides ruin the picturesque moment in time before him.

Just look at the family he’s made for himself.

Ah, but the squirming toddler in your arms may do just that anyway. So he doesn’t debate taking Junpei from your arms as he begins to scrunch up his adorable little nose.

Besides, Satoru’s sure you’re bound to wake up soon. His Six Eyes tells him that because the cursed energy from within your tummy is starting to become restless, the twins are finally waking up.

A big family hadn’t been on his mind. You both agreed on leaving your family with Junpei as your youngest. Especially with you falling pregnant so soon with him after having trouble with Sanari’s pregnancy and birth.

But things don’t always go to plan, do they? Satoru muses.

Taking the littlest that'll soon be a big brother wakes you from your nap. You inhale and exhale deeply as your eyes flutter open, blinking quite a few times before your vision clears.

“….’toru~” Your sleepy inhale sounds like a cute sniffle; he can’t help but grin. “You’re home?”

“Surprise, baby,” Satoru mumbles as he sits down and leans over the couch and over your pregnant belly to sweetly kiss your lips. “I’ll be home for awhile this time,” he adds softly. One arm holds his son, the other wraps around the back of your shoulders, hand resting on your upper arm to gently pull your body into him to deepen the kiss. You can’t help but giggle against his lips, and he smiles and giggles into it in return.

Lightning brightens the sky, this time for the longest you’ve ever seen. And following it, is the mightiest thunderclap you’ve ever heard. It makes even your husband jump, surprised by the deafening boom. Your lips separate from Satoru’s, who’s looking out the window with you, impressed by the power of Mother Nature.

It wakes Seiji and Sanari, who despite their maturity for their age, show their age by the fat tears pooling at their eyelids. Junpei, fully awake, begins to cry too, slightly louder than his older siblings. The toddler buries himself into his daddy’s shoulder for comfort and protection. And when the other two see their dad, who’s back home early, they jump to him and do the exact same, hugging him and burrowing into his chest and neck.

You’d take a picture had your babies not been so scared.

When your hand rubs Seiji’s back, the little boy turns to you, eyes watery with fear. He takes two little steps on the couch and softly stumbles into your outstretched arms. He rests his bottom on your thigh, head burrowed into the crook of your neck, little hands balled up into fists with the sweater you were wearing between his itty bitty fingers.

“Come on, Seiji. Off Mama’s belly,” Satoru says, a slight tinge of worry to his voice as he sees him lay a little too heavily on your rounded middle.

The little boy gasps lightly and moves. “Sorry, Mama. Sorry babies.”

You chuckle and kiss his tiny forehead. Satoru presses his lips to the side of his son’s temple, his free hand reaching for his sides to tickle him, saying things about how cute he was.

Sanari takes the moment to detach from her daddy’s side and dives back into your ribs, albeit much more carefully than her older brother. She sniffles, still scared from the clash of thunder, but much calmer now that both her parents were home and awake. She burrows her head under your arm, almost behind your back, leaving her nose room to breathe in the cool air and the sweater that smells like both you and her papa.

It’s so cute, Satoru thinks. She’s the complete opposite of him. She’s the more quiet and reserved one of her siblings. And he still suspects that she still will after her younger twin siblings will be born. Satoru has a feeling, knows in his gut that they’ll be the most extroverted of his children, bouncing off the walls just like he does every day.

Though not so much anymore, heh. He’s still a childish person at heart, but his age is slowly getting to him, slowly beginning to chip away at his ability to be the flamboyant jujutsu sorcerer he used to be. He can feel the ache of time and age begin to take root in the bones of his body that had been so tempered.

In its place, however, took fatherhood, took a new and different kind of responsibility that he was more than excited for — days filled with new challenges, watching his kids grow as he smothers them with love.

His former students were more than capable of handling the load he used to. There’s plenty more of them nowadays than there is of him. With most of them all Special Grade sorcerers, too, he muses. Including you. But you don’t partake in missions like that, mostly being in the reserves of jujutsu society and using your reverse cursed energy like Shoko has.

Especially since becoming a mom.

Satoru sees the rainy day lulling you back to sleep. Being five-and-a-half months pregnant with twins, while also caring for three more while her husband was away would make any woman tired.

His offspring, however, were wide awake.

“Go upstairs and go to sleep,” Satoru says quietly. He sees the waves of fatigue hit every time you blink several times in one go. Your happy expression is getting harder to hold as you grow tired all over again, and Satoru thinks he’s going to have to carry you upstairs, fearing you falling.

But you, ever-stubborn, refuse. “I’m okaaay,” you reply, yawning into the words.

The white-haired man chuckles and shakes his head. “Go to bed,” he says, this time in a more commanding tone. “I’ll wake you up in a couple hours with food ready.”

And when he makes that face, the cutesy one that also means he’s more than happy to carry you to bed, you don’t argue. He does, however, help you up off the couch and watches from the bottom of the stairs to make sure you lose balance and tip backwards. Satoru blows you a kiss, to which you chomp down at, mock-devouring his kisses. He gasps, fake offended, and it gets the giggle out of you he’s hoping for before you go into the bedroom.

Satoru’s heart swells with adoration and love. It overflows even more as he turns back to his two sons and his daughter. God, he almost wants to cry. What did he do to deserve such happiness in his life? After everything he’s done, that’s happened to him, when did the universe decide a beautiful wife and sweet, adorable children were in the cards for him?

He doesn’t know. All he knows is that he’s going to hold his family close to his heart and protect them until his last breath.

[Chapter 26] Date

← Previous Chapter - Story Masterlist - Next Chapter →

Pairing: Satoru Gojo x f!Reader

Discord +18 - Twitter - Ko-Fi

Happy to co-host Gojo NSFW Week 2023! Come join us on Twitter!

“I could just eat you.” You kiss Seiji’s tiny feet, and he laughs. You adore his little laughs more than anything. You never thought you could love him more than the day he was born, but your love for him keeps growing more and more each passing day.

At five months old, Seiji looks like a replica of his father. You wait for him to grow more into his features, to look more like you. But he doesn’t. You love him either way, even if he looks just like Satoru. Seiji just has the chubbiest cheeks and the cutest rolls. You can have a thousand of him, and as you think that you realize that you’re forgetting how horrible childbirth was. 

“Are you telling him that you’re gonna eat him again?” Satoru asks as he walks to sit by your side. You don’t pay attention to him, just looking at your baby. Satoru sits by your side and kisses the temple of your head.

You haven’t had the date that you were supposed to have, and you’re going out tonight. And instead of getting ready, you’re playing around with Seiji. Satoru clears his throat before he says, “Maybe I should handle Seiji while you get ready.”

“Why don’t you get ready?” You ask as you look over to him. But he is ready. You’re about to fight it off but you hear a certain sound that makes you hand the baby to his father. “Change his diaper while I go get ready.”

Satoru is clearly annoyed when you hand him Seiji. It’s his fault for suggesting that you get ready. It’s also baby Seiji’s fault for making a mess in his diaper during the worst possible moment. Satoru wastes no time in changing the diaper– Absolutely terrified though, especially after what happened during Seiji’s first month of life. Satoru is protected by his infinity, but the room isn’t. 

“I’m gonna miss you tonight, Seiji.” Satoru says, kissing the top of his baby’s head. Every night that Satoru has to work, he hates the fact that he won’t be able to be close to his baby. But Satoru wants to spend some time alone with you, and that means that he can’t bring Seiji. He doesn’t like the fact that Seiji is growing up so fast, and every time Satoru looks away the baby seems to learn something new.

He walks back to the living room, where Megumi tries to assemble something with his legos. Satoru smiles, realizing just how lucky he is. Tsumiki and Megumi argue like any pair of siblings, but apart from that, they’re very calm kids. Satoru speaks up, “Do you wanna play with Seiji for a bit?”

“Didn’t he just shit himself?” Megumi asks, leaving Satoru wide-eyed. Where did Megumi learn that language? Satoru doesn’t have a potty mouth, then he remembers that you certainly do. Even around Seiji, even though he scolds you about it. He doesn’t want Seiji’s first words to be fuck or shit. Apparently those are the only words you know.

“Don’t use that language, Megumi.” Satoru scolds him, and Megumi rolls his eyes before standing up and walking back to the room. You’re in the process of buying a house, and Megumi simply can’t wait since he was promised his own room. 

Satoru sighs before looking down at his baby. Seiji is stretching his hand out, trying to reach for something. Satoru doesn’t know what, and he’s trying to find what baby Seiji is looking at. He’s cooing at something, and then Satoru’s eyes finally land on the fish-shaped toy. Satoru grabs it and hands it to the baby. Seiji grips it, and Satoru just watches. 

There’s a knock on the door, and Satoru stands up, taking a deep breath to prepare himself to handle Kaya. When he opens the door, he tries his best to smile at her. She looks unamused with his presence, but her expression quickly changes when she sees baby Seiji. She doesn’t waste a minute in taking the baby from Satoru’s arms. 

She’s holding the baby in the air, risking that he pukes all over her, but she doesn’t care. “My cute little nephew, I’ve missed you.”

“You know it’s not just him, right?” Satoru asks, watching as Kaya walks inside. She ignores him, of course she knows. Kaya has met Megumi and Tsumiki a handful of times, and they seem fine. She won’t struggle much tonight. Satoru shuts the door. “How are you and Daisuke?”

“What do you mean?” She responds, genuinely confused. It makes Satoru click his tongue, in disbelief that they’re still not dating even though they’re so clearly into each other. Satoru ends up shaking his head, not wanting to get into the issue.

“Heads up, Seiji loves to poop right when you’re changing his diaper so be prepared.” Satoru warns her, and she chuckles.

“How many times has he done it to you?” She questions, and he scratches the back of his neck, awkwardly looking elsewhere. Too many times for him to be scared. While he looks away, he watches as you walk out of the bedroom, looking as stunning as ever. 

You’re putting on your earrings, and you’re clearly not ready to go yet. You just walked out of the bedroom to greet Kaya. When she sees you, she smiles and says, “There’s my favorite MILF.”

Satoru clears his throat, which doesn’t necessarily do anything. Kaya side-eyes him before she turns her full attention to you. You kiss her cheek before you kiss your son’s head. “How are you? Didn’t expect you to be here so early.”

“I’m right on time, am I not?” She responds and Satoru hums in response. You call over Megumi and Tsumiki, and it takes them a minute to walk out of their room to the living room. You smile at them before informing them,

“You remember Kaya, right? She’ll be taking care of you tonight. Please be nice to her.”

Kaya smiles at the kids, and Tsumiki smiles back. Megumi doesn’t care all that much, but it’s fine, she knows he’s a grumpy kid. You tell her basic instructions, stuff that Satoru can handle, before you walk back to the bedroom to finish getting ready.

Satoru wants to rush you since you have a special reservation, but he knows better than to. He just has to wait.

-

You’re almost late to your reservation, but thankfully you’re right on time. The place looks fancy, and the menu contains words that you can barely pronounce so you know this is way out of your price range; luckily, Satoru is paying. You’re just hoping that Seiji’s college fund isn’t the one that’s paying for dinner.

“How’s work?” You ask before you bring your glass up to your lips. You still don’t have a grasp on what he does, but you’ve moved on past it. You can’t see it, so it doesn’t concern you. As long as he isn’t killing innocent people, you’re fine. 

“Let’s not talk about that, please.” He chuckles. He changes the topic, “How are your classes? Were your exams too hard?”

“Not too hard.” You respond. You don’t want to admit that the term was a bit harder on you since you hadn’t taken classes since the previous fall term. Everything was so much harder for you because of your newborn. You managed to pull through though. “Glad to have the time off.”

“That’s nice to hear. Just know that if you don’t want to do it anymore–” He begins and you cut him off. As tempting as it sounds, you can’t really can’t just drop your studies to be a stay at home mom.

“I do want to do it.” You tell him. Your hands reach across the table to hold his hands. “Especially since you’re paying for everything. I don’t have that much left anyway.”

“Just letting you know that you have other options!” Satoru responds. Satoru keeps looking you up and down, you simply look stunning. He’s truly a lucky man. It isn’t official yet, but you have a baby and you act like a couple so is there really a need to formally ask you to be his girlfriend? Well, he guesses that he should. “I wish I could stay with Seiji all day long.”

“I mean… You could. Once I've graduated–” You begin and he interrupts him.

“My type of job isn’t one that I get to quit. I’m stuck doing it until I’m dead.” He’s told you it a couple of times, but you don’t seem to pay attention to it. Maybe he’d explain everything further, but he doesn’t want to ruin the mood. But you speak up,

“Why were you so insistent on your parents not finding out about Seiji?” 

“I just thought if no one in my life knew about Seiji then he’d be safe… I mean, you saw what happened when someone that wasn’t supposed to know found out.” He answers. He still hasn’t quite figured out how Suguru found out, but he has an idea. He shakes his head before he smiles at you and he squeezes your hands, “Let’s not talk about that.”

“What do you want to talk about?” You ask him, slightly tilting your head to the side. You look sweetly at him, slowly blinking. Fuck, you look so beautiful.

“Just how beautiful you look. Thanks for coming out with me tonight.” He can’t stop staring with loving eyes, and you feel your heart flutter. You feel so warm inside every time that you look at him, and you nearly squeal each time he compliments you. Kissing him just makes you smile foolishly, and you hate that he knows the effect he has on you. He’s been sweeter than ever lately, and you assume it’s because he sees you smile like never before.

“Thanks for inviting me.” You respond. It’s nice to be out after what feels like an eternity. You don’t have to worry about your baby or the kids. “We should do this more often. Just some alone time for the two of us.”

“I love that idea. No musty kids around. No dirty diapers to change.” He comments, causing you to laugh. You know that he hates changing dirty diapers but it’s a task that always falls in his hands. “Plus we’ll have fun after.”

“Doing what?” You question before he informs you,

“I took the carseat out of the car.” It doesn’t hit you, but when it finally does, a smirk comes to your lips. He then clears his throat, “I hope you enjoy the dinner tonight. I love this place.”

“Can’t wait to taste the food.”

-

It’s fair to say that you weren’t a big fan of the food so before your date comes to an end, you and Satoru walk around to find a place nearby to eat. Satoru keeps his eye out for a place that you might like, and he tries to walk fast since he sees you shivering. You’re both well dressed since it’s December, but it’s windy out. Wind hits right on your face and you’re sure that you’ll end up sick. 

“The food wasn’t that bad.” Satoru tries to argue, and you don’t dare to disagree. It just wasn’t too tasty, and you left half of your food untouched. Satoru found it delicious on the other hand.

“Yeah… I guess it wasn’t.” You respond, following his every step. He comes to a stop when he spots a cupcake shop, and he grabs your hand before dragging you to it. You’re relieved when you step into the place, warming up immediately. 

“What kind of cupcake do you want?” Satoru asks, and you take a moment to think about it.

“Carrot.” You respond, and a smile comes to his lips. Luckily enough, there isn’t a line so you’re able to get your cupcakes right away. You take a seat and begin to eat. Satoru is trying to get some of your food, but you make sure to keep it far from his reach. The fact that Satoru has really long arms doesn’t help you. 

“Have you had fun?” Satoru asks, snatching your food out of your hands and offering his own. You refuse to take it though. You nod in response, getting some of the icing of his cupcake on your finger before bringing it up to your lips.

“How about you? I know you enjoyed that nasty ass food.” You joke, and he rolls his eyes. You end up laughing at his reaction. He finally gives you back your cupcake and you gladly take it from his hands.

He clears his throat, “So…”

“So?” You blink rapidly, curious as to what he has to say.

“I guess we don’t need to do this properly since we have a baby and live together and do everything that couples do…” He begins, and he pauses to gather his words. You have an idea of what’s coming up, but you patiently wait for him to finish his statement. “I don’t wanna drag this out, so I’ll put it simple. Do you want to be my official girlfriend?”

You laugh. “I thought that at this point you’d be giving me an engagement ring but yes–”

He doesn’t waste a second as he reaches into his pockets to pull out the ring that he has. Your eyes go wide looking at it. You weren’t serious. There’s a smile on his face as he says,

“Do you want to skip the girlfriend stage and become my fiancée then?”

Part 7 | not my wife

warnings | light smut, slight yandere!sukuna if you squint, yandere!gojo, sukuna calling y/n "sweetheart" and "lil lady", etc.

Notes | this fic will be using she/her pronouns for y/n. Also this is a reincarnation fic, so Gojo's name will not be "Satoru" in this part. And please let me know if you want to be in a taglist for this series !! ^-^

Summary | And I'd choose you; in a hundred lifetimes, in a hundred worlds, in any version of reality, I'd find you and I'd choose you.

Infinity Masterlist

GOJO SEIJI felt bile rise in his throat when y/n got married to someone that wasn't him. Everything was falling apart again.

"Looks like we're going to have to start over again," he muttered mindlessly to himself, blue eyes boring into the perfect wedding scene before him as y/n batted her eyelashes, lips plump and full as she closed her eyes-head titled up as Sukuna leant down and kissed her.

"I'm sorry?"

He glanced to y/n's mother who was standing beside him, a smile etching across his face as he waved her off, "oh, sorry, I was just saying how I was going to have to look for a new maid was all."

Y/n's mother nodded with a smile, "I'm sure y/n would be happy to help you look for one!"

"Yeah..bet she would, wouldn't she?"

Sukuna's hand cupped and groped at y/n's breasts, his fingers pinching and rolling her pert nipples.

He didn't want to admit it, but he reveled in how that bastard Gojo looked during the reception. Especially when he got to kiss y/n too. He just looked so fucking pissed.

Sukuna could also imagine how angry the prodigy must be too. How angry he must be fully knowing that Sukuna is getting to enjoy his pretty wife thats laying under him right now. Her (color) skin tinted into the darkest shade of red as her breath was heavy and quick, her chest heaving as she gripped the bedsheets below her.

"Su- sukuna~"

"Aw, needy already? I haven't even touched you that much."

He chuckled darkly as his knees dug unto her thighs to keep her planted to the bed. His hands roaming her bare skin as his fingers grasped and plucked at the waistband of her underwear.

His head bending forward a bit as he placed his lips on her neck, his teeth biting and sucking on her skin as he worked a mark on her.

She whined and lifted her hands, her grasp fixating onto his forearms.

"Suku- na, can we please just- just...," her lip quivered. She was scared. She couldn't go all the way yet. Yes, she married her best friend who she loved very dearly, but she wasn't ready. Not yet.

Sukuna, on the other hand, could read her like an open book and he relented. His knees moving to either side of her hips, caging her down as he bent towards her. His lips placing gentle kisses on her stomach, up between the valley of her breasts, along her neck and jaw, both her cheeks, the tip of her nose, her forehead, and finally back down on her lips.

"Such a cute lil lady, huh? Not ready, i'm guessing?"

She nodded, her arms moving to cover her breasts, causing him to lick his lips.

Damn, he wanted to devour her. Ruin her completely, but ... he could wait. Gojo couldn't touch her. If he did, his whole clan would fall.

"I'm sorry, Sukuna- I know.. I know this night was supposed to be special-"

"Stop that. You think I married you to fuck you?"

She blushed intensely at his blunt words.

"N- no"

"Good. want to know the real reason I married you then?"

He brought his hand up to her face, his fingers tracing small, light circles causing her to lean into his touch.

"I married you because I wanted to walk into a bar or tavern, see someone hitting on you and loudly declare Hey! Thats my wife! and punch them square in the jaw, knocking them out."

She deadpanned.

"Oh, and love too, I guess."

"Sukuna!"

She slapped his arm and was already giggling.

"Oh? Hitting me now? How rude, we just got married and you're already abusing me!"

She hit him again, but this time on his shoulder.

"Two can play at that game, sweetheart!"

"Sukuna, no! Stop!"

Her struggles were futile as he attacked her with tickles. Her body shaking under his merciless assault.

"Sukuna- stop-" she gasped "I'm going to pee, if you keep tickling me!"

She wailed and tried to curl in on herself but he wasn't having it.

It was safe to say that the two slept peacefully after that.

Gojo, on the other hand, was still angry over everything, but he was atleast relieved that the two didn't go all the way.

"Tch."

He left his secluded hidden spot. His feet taking him back home even though his heart and mind and soul were telling him to just go in there and take care of everything now.

But first things first.

He had to make sure that y/n loves him in all lives from now on.

[Taki I really, really want to do a story from Taki's perspective. I once had an opportunity to do it in a side story, but I had to give up trying to make it fit to the number of pages available. I get too greedy when I draw a girl because of the many emotions involved. I want her to be a gentle girl who gets Natsume to smile when she's around, even when he's having a tough time.]

— Notes from Chapter 56, Volume 14.

*sobbing* Midorikawa when are we gonna get this Taki special!!!

She wrote this in volume 14 so it was in 2012..... it's been 12 years and we STILL don't have a Taki special 😭😭😭 If the series end without it I'm gonna be so bitter sdsfsd. I know she said it's because she didn't have enough pages for it and maybe she hasn't gotten the opportunity to draw it since then but it's just so unfair to me that Nishimura & Kitamoto got to have a special but not Taki 🥲

I'm just sooo curious to know what idea she had in mind for a story from Taki's perspective... I wonder if she still want to draw it. And if there's anything she'll change now that we know more things about Taki, like her brother or her connection to Matoba... or her new girl friend from her class (Though I think it's likely her story would have something to do with her grandpa?)

(What she said at the end about Taki being "a gentle girl who make Natsume smiles even when he's having a tough time" is cute though. they're cute.)

Also. We need another Tanuma special too. Especially now that he seems to be given more importance in the plot. I like the Natori specials but there's just so many other characters I wish we'd get focus on/the perspective of... Though I think we'll definitely get a 3rd Teen Natori special at some point too (maybe where we learn how he met Shinobu and what's the deal with that weird vase and stuff?)

AND we need a Matoba special too (I have a theory that maybe instead of a 3rd Teen Natori special where we learn his relationship with Shinobu we get a Teen Matoba special from his POV. Which would be really cool. but we'll see ig.). I think the two characters who need a special the most now are definitely: 1. Taki, and 2. Matoba. And maybe Tanuma. (One of my dreams actually would be to get a Nanase special, specifically one where we learn more about her past similar to what the anime did, but where she's older instead of a child. Like we could see how the Matoba clan was before Seiji's birth and even meet his parents/grandpa and stuff, given they were referenced recently in canon. That'd be so cool but sadly Nanase get very little focus in the manga so idk if it'll ever happen...)

And now I want a Shinobu special too. And a Hiiragi special and a Reiko special and-

Yui komori had cannons and kind of a character rewrite

But remember this is my own interpretation and you don't have to like it if you don't want to thank you very much for reading

Yui it's still a sweet and kind girl

But she is more careful and anxious

Since she's afraid of getting angry outbursts

From people and she's kind of a people pleaser but she tries to not be one

She's still a bit naive and sometimes stupid but that's only Human Nature

She still sassy and isn't afraid to talk back if needed but tends to hesitate sometimes

She can sometimes self-conscious

and insecure thanks to those vampires fuck's(except Subaru)

My rewrite facts:

She doesn't really have much of a fashion style so she often goes to kianna for help when picking out an outfit

When Seiji became a lot stricter it kind of made her depressed and sad especially since she got barely any time to talk to her sister that was practically her only company and

Since she doesn't really have people to talk to and the Mean Girls at school don't help

So she would often talk to her stuffed animals

since Seiji was often out of the house and barely came home Yui took it upon herself to raise kianna right be it taking care of herself

Stitching her clothes making dinner all of the above even counting money

She wanted to be the parent that Seiji wasn't sure she loved her father a lot but she often felt like she was on eggshells around him when she grew older

But she does but she's very appreciative of him for giving them a home food in the fridge and pantry and clean clothes and a roof over their head

But unfortunately that was the bare minimum he never gave them much attention which made Yui quite sad but she pushed that aside in order to grow up and raise her sister

She made sure neither her or kianna would get yelled at or be the victim of their father's outbursts but unfortunately sometimes they were which made Yui make a system to make sure this doesn't happen

The system She Wrote:

If father looks stressed or angry do not approach him and if you do stay quiet

Make sure there's a plate of food set aside for him in the fridge when he's home he's obviously going to be hungry

Do all your chores make sure your room is clean

And without a doubt do not make him angry

Go to church and do not skip class

Deep Night - final thoughts

Well, this was a nice surprise. I never know what to expect with a Cheewin show. He's done some things I've loved, but the last two shows he did before this one I did not vibe with at all. He seems to do best with writing that is solid but not overly complex, and I would guess who is on his production team makes a difference as well when it comes to tempering some of his more chaotic impulses. Tanya was an executive producer on this as well as an actress, so if she did play a role in the overall warmth and maturity of this series, I hope she does more work in the QL sphere.

As for why I liked this series so much,

We get to have:

Aerial performances including a himbo who spins on a pole (sometimes in wings).

Said himbo and a DJ who bathe together regularly but still act shy when admitting their crushes on one another.

Romantic and cute boyfies who are also incredibly horny and have sex in open spaces.

A man so in love with his boyfriend that he learns how to do an aerial performance in one afternoon.

A love triangle that resolves via poly.

Older lesbians who realize they can still be cute little girlfriends.

Couples and throuple working through issues with communication and maturity.

Characters who are capable of self-reflection, admitting wrong, and apologizing.

A theme of non-judgment and support for people regardless of the work that they do, especially if it's work society tends to look down on.

Diversity of gender expression and fabulous outfits.

It wasn't perfect, I wish we had gotten to see more aerials, especially because they had the actors learn the skill for real. The Seiji and Ken performances were weirdly cut, presumably for some bts reason. The aunt was so over the top she didn't really fit the vibe of the show. There was some rushing with the throuple resolution. (Though I won't mind if they were saving some things for a special episode).

This one was easy to miss with the number of releases we're getting right now, but it's worth checking out. It's not high art, but it's one of the sweetest shows I've seen so far this year.

You know what we were robbed of?

The match between Harvard and Aiden at the end of volume 2/beginning of volume 3.

I knowww that we can't show EVERY match in exhaustive detail and that the narrative focus was on Nicholas and his prospects for the team, which is why the main information we get about it is that Aiden lost:

But I REALLY REALLY want to know what that match was like! Especially as we rarely get to see Aiden fence. We know that he won against Seiji and that he lost to Nicholas, and we know why both of those things happened (loosely, Aiden's use of mind games against Seiji versus his inability to use them on Nicholas combined with Nicholas' unpredictability as a fencer), but what about Harvard?

All we can see from this resulting "post-match" shot is that Aiden lost 15-9 and looks put out about it, or maybe he's just (for once) focused, while Harvard is sweating with effort but looks a bit less tense, possibly relieved. Aiden said to Harvard, "your next opponent isn't going to go easy on you", and I think he respects Harvard enough to give the match his genuine all, but we know that Harvard is a very good fencer, and still above Aiden in skill level.

But they also both know each other extremely well, and I think that a match between them would be fascinating in terms of their respective tells and tendencies and their very different styles. I wish we could have seen it!

(Aiden would probably be even better adapted to Harvard's style, of course, if he applied himself more to training, but that's a different subject...)

My Four Favourite Precure Boys and the Reason Why

Seiji Sagara (HapinessCharge Precure) ❤🥋

He is Basically Dumb and Naive at Most But Helpful and Energetic at Best and He is Mostly Emotionless but when you gave this Boy and "Hate Gemstone" And Corrupt him, you Basically "Drop a Mentos into a Cola Bottle" and let his "Painful" Emotion Come out but luckilly he got friends that save him from the darkness.

Takumi Shinada / Black Pepper (Delicious Party Precure) 🖤🧂

At First Reaction, He seems so cool and with a definition of "I Don't Care, Do you?" But In Reality. He Does Care with his Friends (And Especially His "Girlfriend") With His Magic Persona "Black Pepper" He like the Mixture of Tuxedo Mask from Sailor Moon & Magic Kaito from Cased Closed. He is Very Cool and Passionate and that what i like about Him

Tsubasa Yuunagi / Cure Wing (Hirogaru Sky Precure) 🧡🐥

The First Precure show i watch fully and also The First "Official" Male Precure. He is a Super Shy Puni-Bird with a Massive Nerd Admiration to Planes and Flying which became a dream and when he turn to Cure wing. He became a Very Brave Knight Protecting his "Princess" and that's why he is like my favourite boy crush in the whole Franchise

Satoru Touyama (Wanderful Precure) 🧡📓

Its just been episode 1 and i fell for him instantly. He is basically a Cute Geek who is have Very Good Knowledge about Animals In General and Have a Cute Pet Bunny. He is Nice and Sweet and i have High Hope for Good Potential for him in Later Episode, He Could Be one of the Magical boys as the rest (either a Precure or Not) either way. I loved him and can't wait to see more to come

That is all and i hope you guys understand and tell me more about your favourite Precure Boys

The source of Matoba Seiji's hate for Youkai ?

Lately, I've been thinking alot about this and didn't find anyone actually mention it from where I searched (?)

Seiji has many things going on for him .. (MANY THINGS that I just wanna talk about them all and just cry alot) but today I'll just focus on a little theory I have about this little matter :)

From where do I start I wonder ?

I've always noticed that in the manga especially when Seiji got first introduced, it was emphasized that he hold a certain grudge toward the youkai which's seems personal more than out of his job as an exorcist ..

These lines were on my mind along with some of Seiji's line, about how youkai always take advantages of human's weakness and vulnerability. then I linked alot of things together (my mind love to make me suffer it seems)

Does that mean, perhaps Seiji spoke from experience ? A personal one or because he saw alot of such cases, or maybe both ?

But either way, we never actually saw Seiji letting his guard down or having any weaknesses, not toward the Youkai at least.

You can't picture it right? the fearless merciless and powerful Matoba leader showing a weak side of him <3

But wait ..

Actually he DID show signs of weaknesses and yearing for something if you pay close attention to his reactions, wording or actions (lets not dig deeper into this or I'll break down T^T)

Let's look at the ones that's about our current subject, shall we ?

In his 2nd meeting with Natsume, he was composed and calm the whole discussion except ..

When this line triggered him greatly, that he went so far to prove his point of view in a harsh way for Natsume ..

"They will betray you, maybe you need to go through a bitter experience to understand"

Those lines felt it's about Seiji as much as to prove his point to Natsume ..

But what did happen, who betrayed him ? A "Kind" Youkai ?? Did he thought a Youaki was treating him kindly but then it stabbed his back later on ?? Or did he treat someone kindly but it decived him and took advantage of his kindness ??

Did something ring a bell ? About Seiji saying something like he'd treat someone kindly if he ever gets the chance to ?

Yup, he did say such a thing back in the past when he was a kid, in this part of the story we got two important info about Seiji :

his yearning for a Youkai to make a contract with him but he'll never get to because of his bloodline.

the fact that he's gonna be kind to whoever gonna make a contract with him and fight by his side.

That in itself was his weakness and we already know that this very desire is one of the sources that twisted him and result in the Seiji of today ..

Who took advantage of this desire of his ? It's a Youkai but he can't even make a contract with anyone so .... it's a Youkai that was with him not by contract but a deal or a promise between them mostly ...

Something else ring a bell ?

Do you know who I really think the only one who can take advantage of him and it was clear there's something between them but we really never get to know whatever happened to it afterward ..

The Youkai in the pot!! It's him!! The main reason for Seiji's grudge toward the Youkai!!

What actually happened between them I know not, no more info to go that far with .. but I can't unseen it anymore!!

Especially if we return to something I already posted here, but let look at it from another angle, shall we?

THIS ONE!!! DO YOU SEE WHAT I MEAN!!!

Natsume's line > focus on the pot > Seiji's triggered reaction

When I first read this story I though this way of putting focus on the pot was to prove Natsume's point of view or for the pot Youkai's shock by Natsume's kindness which changed his opinion later on ..

But what if that was indirect hint by Midorikawa-sensei for the real source of Seiji's deep grudge toward the Youkai ? I can see her doing such a thing that we won't understand until later on ..

So, in short that's what I have in my mind lately and been very deeply hurt and sad by it, so thought I wanna share it and see what people think of it. am I overthinking things again ? does it make no sense ? am I only making myself suffer ? MAYBE I AM BUT HEAR ME OUT!!

Just thinking that Seiji's kindness used against him in an ugly way is just ... he's not someone to show his kindness that easily so thinking that when he did so and openly this happened to him is just aaaaa STOP HURTING MY BOY HE DOESN'T DESRVE THIS !!!!

the fact that even though he was cunning, cautions and levelheaded when he was young, yet actually he was very naive and rash since I also bet no one knew about the Youkai in the pot except Natori who said he never saw that pot again ever since.

I'll shut up and leave it at that since if I keep going, I'll just keep on crying and screaming about this!! IT JUST HURTS ALOT AND BEEN CRYING ABOUT IT EVER SINCE I THOUGHT ABOUT THIS THEORY OF MINE!!!

[curelore]

LMAOOOOOOO OOF

Poor Takumi!! (Especially because I called you Takuma in a previous post n__n;) One of my fav bits in Precure will always be the male lead/love interest trying to do something cute or nice only to have the Cure he has a crush on run off to greet her besties/girlfriends lol

I really am excited to see Takumi more as a character though!! I might have been spoiled with Seiji, but I'm hoping Takumi is similarly treated as his own complex character. Considering how he's going to join the battle at some point, I have high hopes!!

Admittedly, I also don't think I'll dislike Takumi and Yui as a ship. I think that they have potential to actually have a good dynamic (similarly to Megumi and Seiji) as opposed to a forced one like Love and Daisuke. Sorry to any possible Daisuke enjoyers, but I think he is the paragon of terrible Precure male characters (I hesitate to say "lead", considering how little he matters to the actual plot of Fresh), so he will act as the worst-case comparison for me unless he is somehow dethroned by an even worse male love interest

[chicspice]

I want the precure fandom to remember that we wouldn't have had Wing if it weren't for the success of Seiji, Kanata, Rio/Julio/Pikario and Takumi for the cis male side of things, Henri and Rosemary for the gnc/non-binary/genderfluid side of things and butch girls like Nagisa, Saki, Rin, Akane, Akira and Asuka, especially Akira. They all walked so wing could run. Same goes with Butterfly being an adult because we've had the success of Yuri, Yukari, Akira, Cure Flower, Cure Ange (Heartcatch's version), Hugtto's finale and as a recent example, the cook fighters, specifically Rosemary and Cinnamon being magical adults. I think Kanata is supposed to be late teens too so he def counts here as well. Don't leave anyone behind!

[doomedbythe-narrative]

I think one of my favourite parts about shinichi/Conan is his ability to just accept people regardless of what they’ve done. Like for someone who’s entire personality is finding the bad guys and bringing them to justice he has an astonishing amount of empathy for criminals.

Narumi/Seiji and not being able to save them from the fire definitely changed him for the better in a way, despite the amount of guilt and trauma it gave him.

I think it’s most obvious in the way he treats the (former) BO members, especially Ai. Because he has a right to be upset at her and really nobody should expect him to help her or forgive her or whatever considering she’s at least partially responsible for his entire life imploding — and still in a matter like a day, or however long timeline wise it took for him to find out about Akemi, he started to consider her someone he needs to protect. And sure part of that might just be because of leftover guilt he has because of what happened to Akemi — but the fact he even feels guilty, despite the fact that by default Akemi wasn’t a great person (weewoo part of a really BAD organisation and also a criminal!!!!) really puts his character in perspective. And he genuinely does start to care about Ai after all — to the point where during one of the Bourbon showdowns (I forgot which one), his first thought after thinking his identity might’ve been discovered, isn’t the fact that his life and by extension everyone around him might be in danger, but rather the fact that if the BO finds out what he looks like now, they’ll find out about Ai as well.

You can also tell during the showdown with Irish — yes it’s a movie, yes it’s non-canon or whatever, but Irish was a bad, bad person and had every intention of killing him after getting his revenge on Gin, and he STILL tried to get him help, to the point where Irish willingly sacrificed himself to protect him.

Not to mention all of the other cases he’s solved where he managed to feel sympathy (??) for the criminal even if he can’t like….understand (??) what made them criminals in the first place. Idk does that make sense? He’s just my favourite special little guy

I watched the most unpopular season in the Precure fandom: Happiness Charge Precure

My GOD, this fandom loves overhating on things. It's a solid 8/10 for me, on my MAL stack, where I rate seasons, it's below Yes! 5 and above DokiDoki.

Every character was pretty well written with good character arcs, especially Hime, except for Yuuko. She is the only character in the main cast that I felt was underwritten and pushed to the side by writers. I saw a lot of criticisms of Megumi but I thought she was a fine character. She had flaws, she messed up, and she learned from them. She wasn't a mega-perfect Mary Sue that some fans made her out to be and I quite enjoyed her. (I may be biased though since I love her LOVELY BEEEAAMM attack)

The fights were really good! I thought the villains were really fun in design and personality, especially Namakelder. The Precure designs themselves were fine, for me they were a bit too simple and I would've liked some more accessories or frills given to the girls but the unity of the designs was a nice touch. I loved the 3d animated attacks the girls had and I wish they were utilized more cause they were always beautiful.

Speaking of underutilized things, there were a decent amount of plot points that were introduced only to be brushed aside like the PreCard collection, Hime's kingdom getting restored, and so on. However, this didn't really hinder my enjoyment of the show as a whole.

I didn't like Blue, he was a very meh character for me, and he seemed to actively hinder the girls with how he'd tell them nothing until it was too late/he had no choice anymore. I am happy though, that him and Megumi didn't become NozoCoco 2.0, very happy about that.

But, overall, despite some flaws, I thought it was a very fun season. It wasn't something I had to actively push myself to get through, like Suite Precure. Some episodes in HapCha, mainly episodes 32 and 43 were very artfully directed which was a pleasant surprise for a franchise geared towards young kids like Precure.

anyways Seiji deserved better and I <3 Hime

[twilighthomunculusart]

There he goes with that melancholy look again. He always operated on the assumption that he was hard to read. But the more you got to know, the more it was obvious when he would wear his heart on his sleeve. Especially the melancholy. He always puts on this face. Like a sad dog who was told to go sit in the corner. Putting on his best pitiful face in hopes someone would feel bad. No one acted on it though. Everyone knew not to disrupt the image he so carefully had built up. If you did you'd just get yelled at,"the fuck makes you think that?” was the most common answer. "fuck you doing staring like that? You looking to battle?" was the second.

This wasn't the first time Seiji had noticed the look. And it got worse ever since Emperor disbanded. The most recent time was a little over a week ago.

They were in the mall, people watching as they finished whatever drinks they went out to get. The matcha iced tea was always Seiji’s go to. Kai was the first to notice. He almost got his nose broken when he tried to get Seiji to look over. Friendly slap fight went wrong. Whatever. Kyoichi was looking longingly at the couples that walked by. It was almost pitiful.That was the second time Seiji got to hold his bosses hand in public without argument.

This time it was the movie they were watching. The main character had just reconvened with their love interest and they just had their big declaration before they had to head off on their own to face the bad guy.

Kai said there was a reason for this. Something about repetitions in his life causing him to be untrustworthy and all the exes who wouldn't stay blah blah he honestly didn't pay attention. What did Kai know? He's no shrink. Boss was sad. That was that. And he had to do something about it.

He reached for Kyoichi’s hand which accepted the offer with no words. Calloused. Maybe the next activity they did was a spa trip. If he'd even go. He's working on breaking him into more laid back activities. But it's slow going.

The hand holding didn't stop the melancholy. The protagonists just had their final kiss. He had to break the silence, "Kyoichi"

"Yea?"

They turned to face each other.

"You know you're loved right?”

He didn't need words to understand the slurry of emotions that flitted across Kyoichi’s face. At least one of his thoughts were definitely,"why the fuck would you say that" honestly he doesn't know. It was probably the killer instinct his two best friends said he had. Whatever. It just felt right to finally get it off his chest.

They stared at each other for a solid half of the movies credits before the words were finally processed. Kyoichi snapped back to the screen with a "whatever".

Seiji mirrored him, unsatisfyingly flattening his lips. So much for a respon- a sudden heavy weight on his chest interrupted the thought. Kyoichi had leaned over to lay on Seiji’s chest, folding himself into a more holdable shape as he settled.

"I love you too" was blurted fast enough so the words didn't trip on a tongue that was not in the practice to say them.

It wasn't like Seiji didn't know these words existed. Part of him knew they existed in the boss somewhere deep inside. But hearing them out loud for the first time still broke the dam of pent up anxiety and adrenaline that was saved in case a scenario like this went horribly wrong. He did his best to contain it. But there was no way to hide the beating in his chest. Especially with the boss having a front row seat to the symphony inside. But he pulled through it. Wrapping a heavy arm around the body that lay neatly on his chest.
