SORRY FOR CRYSTAL BLOGGING BUT

Oooughghghh I'm so proud of my guys....

I didn't think I'd actually keep playing this file cause it's on my busted 3DS, except for if I REALLY wanted to double hunt Celebi. But I have decided I AM getting a Houndour for my new file, my journey goes on....

This is what I'm working with. By the way. Victim of sudden hinge snapping 😢😢💔💔💔 (this motherfucker has been through it all though like. Ancient well-loved and deeply cherished artifact, WELL used by the point where the hinge broke off)

Some notes!

> Dizzy is the Tyrogue (now Hitmontop) from that original Odd Egg hunt I did, where I was determined to get The Rarest Pokemon from it LMAO. He's from a deadname file though, cut short and deleted. He'd rejoin a new team on this file, which also was cut short due to hinge snapping. So I thought, anyway... 😳

> Henry and Asriel were hunted using the breed with a shiny method, which like, I HIGHLY recommend if you're just fucking around in gen 2. 1/60 Odds! Yeah hatching eggs can take a while but it balances out w how fucking high the rates are. Plus it's perfect how it lines up, for building your team early game! You do need a shiny to start with, but like, literally the game gives you one for free. From there, you can either get yourself a glitch shiny Ditto in a gen 1 game using the shiny Gyarados OR just like. Map out a complex family tree starting from Gyarados LMFAO (I will say it if you're starting from Gyarados I'm p sure you have to have at least three badges, AND do the Lake of Rage stuff, a little inconvenient for team building esp from the egg but not the end of the world -- source, been there done that 👍)

ALSO Lily-Frog and Asriel were the real MVPs, who pulled the most weight and kicked the most ass, AND Lily-Frog was the last one standing against Lance when I ran out of healing items 🫡🫡🫡 (Ice Punch is a fucking life saver against Lance 😭😭😭)

Been seeing talk about Orpheus and Eurydice and thinking about satosugu being like a dark version or subversion of them. Like Kenjaku forcefully bringing geto back from the dead to force gojo to look back and have a moment of weakness, of hope, even despite his better judgement and dooming him in an even more tragic way than how Orpheus was doomed (because at least it was their choice). Idk...but I feel like there could be something in thinking about the parallels and also the differences.

hello, sorry for taking so long to answer but i was kind of busy and i wanted sooo bad to sit and think properly about this wonderful concept before saying anything. (BTW THANKS FOR THIS ASK IT RUINED MY LIFE)

to get started i have to talk briefly about orpheus and establish my point of view on his act of looking back. this scene is, in some interpretations, about a lack of trust or defiance of hades' orders. i am, however, much fonder of the more popular interpretations (and the same as yours) about how he looks back not in rebellion, but in wistfulness. so thats the route im taking here. this is ironic, because even though stsg is in my brain 24/7 i've never put gojo and orpheus together, and i feel particularly dumb because whats gojo's story besides him keeping looking back again and again even though he knows he's not supposed to?

"[eurydice] now, who must die a second death / did not find fault with [orpheus], for what indeed / could he be faulted for, but his constancy?"

when it comes to the differences between those stories, what i like the most is the details of what they had to lose and gain, and how many chances they got to do so because, as you said, gojo's dooming is even more tragic than orpheus'. orpheus reward for obeying this rule was gaining eurydice back. when he looks back too soon (in most of the tellings by mistake), it's because he considers that moment the greeting of their new start, a greeting he simply couldnt wait to have in front of him. im most definitely sure that, if given another chance, orpheus wouldnt make the same error. whilst gojo, by not looking at geto, doesnt have anything to win, he only has something to avoid losing. his choice of glancing back whenever geto is there doesnt have any other meaning behind it, its just looking at him for the sake of remembering what he is grieving for. and not only that, but gojo has multiple chances to stop doing so, but he doesnt. he never goes forward. geto dies his premature death when gojo lets him go in shinjuku. then he dies the second time in jjk0, hearing something so kind that he has to ask to be cursed, he has to ask gojo to stop looking back. and now he's "back" again, to his third death, because kenjaku knew gojo would still look back. because gojo's worst fault (when it comes to geto) is his constancy. and this connects to the last point, which is the possibility of kenjaku using this against him again. my opinion is that, if gege plans to keep the coherence of gojo's arc, you're totally right and that'll surely be part of his ending. yes, the main point of his fight with sukuna (from a plot relevance perspective) is obviously weakening him before he fights kenjaku. but this, to me, is much more about laying the groundwork for a heavy and final fight, than to actually being the reason why it'll be special. gojo is a man equivalent to a deity, whose only real weakness is his heart, so if he gotta lose, it'll be through that. it'll be because no matter what he has to give up, he cant keep his eyes from going back to geto. and thats not only if he is to lose, obviously. if gojo survives, he needs closure. we need to see him freeing himself from the mourning of his lost days and make the conscious choice of keeping his head forward.

also, this is just an obs but i really hope we get to see geto at least once again, so we can have his perspective on this whole situation. as much as gojo is similar to orpheus, i can see geto being similar to eurydice. while i do think he will be furious at gojo for being captured because of him (we already saw how he thinks gojo should hate him by now), i cant help but also see him being quite understanding. in jjk0 geto gets to hear gojo expressing how important the days they were together were for him, so his view of that has changed a little now. what could geto say about gojo, but that too well he loved?

aww thanks!! yeah im sure it'll be great. i'm super excited for college actually!

HAHA i guess we all think alike like that 😂😂

YES YES HAND APPRECIATION!!!! 💕

ikr!!! its so much fun. ooooh i'd love to see that!! i'm sure it would look amazing~! (yup its corrupting my whole body and mind, really)

sure! i have like a bunch that i wrote down yesterday.

...okay now im looking at my notes and realizing i did less of "plot ideas" and more of "here's my philosophical take on this song and which character(s) i should write for it"... oops lol

but still

like, Not Today by TØP. that would parallel a scenario in Saeyoung's route, because it talks a lot about how like... okay i mean just look at these lyrics:

I don't know why I just feel I'm better off / Stayin' in the same room I was born in / I look outside and see a whole world better off / Without me in it tryin' to transform it

You are out of my mind, oh / You aren't seein' my side, oh / You waste all this time tryin' to get to me / But you are out of my mind / Yeah

Listen, I know / This one's a contradiction because of how happy it sounds / But the lyrics are so down / It's okay though / Because it represents, wait, better yet it is / Who I feel I am right now

...

I'm, I'm out of my mind, oh / I'm not seein' things right, oh / I waste all this time tryin' to run from you / But I'm, I'm out of my mind

Heard you say, "Not today" / Tore the curtains down, windows open, now make a sound / Heard your voice, "There's no choice" / Tore the curtains down, windows open, now make a noise

anywayyyzz... i dont have a specific scene in mind, but i know i can do like an introspective thing with this

(if u have any ideas about this feel free to share hehe ^^)
