#highkey gojo is a masterful execution of characterisation

[ilcantodelsoleil]

so many thoughts in my head about the intended cruelty of gojo satoru as the protagonist of jjk's secondary plot (specifically the one about love and all of its different forms and the unique ways they manifest) and the utter dichotomy of his character in a shonen manga because there is so much tenderness in him it makes me sad. i know here on tumblr people have reading comprehension so you don't need me to tell you that this man is a walking double-edged sword and is so much more than his strength but have you ever seen a character whose entire person embodies loneliness and has been let down time and time again but is still so determined to love more?

knowing on several occasions that if you don't free the guillotine he will raise his hand against you without a second thought and still not being able to deal the killing blow. being raised your whole life to fear nothing but ending with the fear of loneliness instead of death because you aren't really alive at all, just a symbol of strength. being the strongest and smartest in any room you walk into yet not caring that you're being deceived because that's him, that's my one and only. if it were anybody else they would've been ripped from the fabric of existence itself but not you, never you. you are proud of and shaped by the blood on your hands but you'd throw it all away if you knew it'd end with that of the one you loved staining them, too
