#it really fuck up my entire body

[tenrose]

One of the weirdest symptoms of incoming period has to be my nose being congested like I caught a flu, why is something happening in my uterus impacting my freaking nose?????

I'm having whole ass flu symptoms but two hours later it's just my period and I'm "fine"

Idk I think this chapter fits well with what we know of jj society and how the series has progressed....

Yuuta was one of the few people who i think understood what Gojo had gone thru and felt (thinking about what i said in my isolation post here) and now he's in his dead mentor's body! It's fucked up!

But JJK has been a tragedy from the start. It's brutal and jj society pulls no punches. Nobody is safe. It doesn't matter if you have a good heart or are a kid; being in that world makes it a free for all and Gojo so desperately wanted to change that because of how his own youth got stolen.

He even went thru with his plan to kill the higher ups, thinking about Geto, his youth, as he did and then gave it his all against Sukuna; eventually passing the mantle to the next generation. But it normally takes more than one generation to fix systemic issues...which is why i don't see the end of this fight/series being a cure-all. I think Yuuji is going to end up dead too tbth all the cog in the machine stuff...and he's been preparing for it since ch.1 but that's for a different post.

The point is that the jujutsu world is fucked up and exploitative no matter who you are and this is such a perfect example of that. A student having to take over his mentor's dead body to try and win a fight, further putting his life on the line, is absolutely brutal but also a good example of everything wrong in jj society.

Nobody, not even the dead, is safe from being exploited, and we saw this from the jump with Geto.

consider this a prelude to my essay on the theme of dehumanization in doatk's narrative but it's interesting how despite having souls as a clear thing, part of a person's being, the story never leans heavily into corruptive transhumanism, almost defying it a little, really. the closest there's been yet is the wreck, mainly on account of Use of the taking someone's soul and putting it in a robot trope, and not going much further than that: the remaining soul of guptill is not depicted as transcending its physical form in much of any way. hamood is also roughly an example of one's "self" remaining intact despite changes to one's body, but that's generally presented as an effect of his immense General power & not entirely some quality of his soul in particular, and overall a goner's "persistence of the self" in their new physical ferms varies on a fairly case-by-case basis; if the theory that will won't act differently than his standard for normal as the ventriloquist comes true, it's thanks to his specific background & the effect of such a thing on the humor of the story (i.e. rule of funny). again, this all is so despite the fact that people's souls are depicted as overall intact & unmodified, which makes souls' position in lore much more like a nonspecific quality of a person required for life rather than the specifically transhumanist concept they most often are

You know it's extremely (further) alienating when you see stuff that says basically

nobody actually feels like they're trapped in the wrong body and that's just shit made up by the medical profession

and thousands and thousands of people are agreeing with that and saying yeah that's totally their experience of being trans

when I literally am trapped in the wrong body and I'm never going to be seen as the gender I actually am and I'm never going to be able to do things I could have done if I had been born with the right body and I'm never going to not hate this body or not see it as wrong, and this kills me

Felt a heavy weight in my heart finding out about Sakurai Atsushi's passing. His amazing talent and voice and BUCK-TICK's music had an influence especially during my late adolescence.

Thank you for everything, Acchan! You'll forever remain in our hearts with the songs you've shared with us.
