Hey so idk if you know about this, but in Japan the politicians are going ham on trying to get BL and GL censored and illegal (???)

And with how gege likes bl, gl, and a lot of queer romances in general, do you think if he didnt play it safe, sukuita would have been canon?

i think i've read about the recent backlash on yaoi/yuri/etc in japan. and i'm really happy gege came out in support of queer series. i feel like it means a lot that they did that.

i also have a feeling that gege knew exactly what they were doing when they made sukuna and yuuji so shippable, but i'm also sure that jjk being a shounen would have prevented sukuita from being canon either way, only because then the series would technically be classified as yaoi or bl instead. and since this was marketed as shounen, it's highly unlikely that the publishers will allow it turn into bl (especially now that there's more censorship of yaoi).

however, gege still (so unsubtly) went out of their way to give us some of the most bl-looking scenes between yuuji and sukuna.

i mean just look at this!!! sukuna is like some kind of lovesick kitten, trailing after yuuji the whole time, yet insisting he's nothing more than an intimacy-hating stray who can't stand any kind of closeness or warmth. but if that's the case, why cling so much to yuuji, who (may i remind you) was the only guy to treat sukuna as human??? i don't know, kinda looks like you're a bit needy for that affection, sukuna.

then there's them constantly taunting each other like boyfriends that can't stop being competitive for one moment. (over the literal smallest of stuff, too. you know the infamous king of curses couldn't care less what kind of crayfish he got if he wasn't with yuuji... he constantly has to show us - so painfully unsubtle - just how much yuuji gets to him.)

but at least he gets to one-up yuuji during archery... though of course the brat isn't as impressed as he should be. (you can just sense the hurt pride dripping off of sukuna's words after yuuji said playing with him wasn't enticing.)

i mean, this whole chapter just made me feel like sukuna is like those tsundere guys in yaoi who can't tolerate having feelings for the cute protagonist everyone loves, so they have to be as edgy-looking and rude as possible whenever their crush comes around. (and then their crush is just 10x nicer to them because of it, which only makes them even more insecure and angry.)

sukuna, it looks like you're repressing lots...

... especially with whatever you got going on here—

(do you think gege drew this with a nosebleed?)

and just when you thought it couldn't get any gayer... these two are pretty much canonical soulmates whose fates have been chained together since before they even met.

(i think i'm noticing a trend with how gege draws them like this —back to back, two parts of a matched set, all but fused together.)

it reminds me of those yaoi manga where the protagonist becomes an unwilling (at first) bride to the monster guy everyone else hates but then slowly starts falling in love with him despite everything because oh maybe he isn't so evil after all.

and though the most recent chapter have really made it seem like yuuji has been pursuing sukuna in this way, let's not forget that sukuna was also the biggest flirt with yuuji before all the feelings hit him far too hard.

sukuna, you've known yuuji for only a few days and you're already feeling up his heart? isn't that usually not until the 3rd or 4th date?

so he does something like that but then has the nerve to act all coy with yuuji later on...

"it's annoying" he says but he's smiling. he looks almost excited. (yes, we know you like yuuji looking up at you without permission, sukuna, we get it already. you don't have to spell it out for us so obviously.)

and yuuji, honey, you know he's into that, right? stop falling for his thinly-veiled traps; you know he loves to bait you like this, you're just feeding his ego. (and also i can't forget to mention just how frustrated sukuna gets when yuuji does ignore him!)

oh and remember that fighting is how sukuita flirts, just in case you didn't pick up on that already.

they look so excited to be doing this right now — yuuji's unhinged grin, sukuna's "fight me" eyes... (mappa, it's a crime that you didn't animate this ;-;)

i'm crying, they could have done comedy together.

also... why are they grinning at each other like this?

sukuna's sitting on top of you, yuuji so why are you looking up at him with that completely unhinged look on your face? (i would say get a room but isn't that what innate domains more or less are?)

and again. if we didn't understand it perfectly well enough already, gege doesn't want us to forget that sukuna just loves it when yuuji fights back.

just look at his feral grin at the idea of yuuji trying to take him on... he loves messing with this brat.

and although sukuna and yuuji are never officially married, the fate they're forced to is almost exactly just that. in sickness and in health (mostly sickness) they are bound to each other, and only death does them part.

crazy how they got divorced TWO times...

.... yet they still can't escape whatever threads them together

even if it's not explicitly stated, it's still heavily implied that yuuji was the one to set sukuna on this different path, to remind him of whatever humanity he had left.

he was the one to connect with sukuna as the king of curses was dying.

to hold him gently and remind him that the monster he is was a matter of chance, that they could have shared that same curse if yuuji hadn't had his grandfather to provide him the fulfillment he needed while sukuna didn't have that in his own life.

to even propose that they could live together, even if he alone would accept such a thing.

it's like something straight out of a doomed romance story. i've never seen such romantic dialogue even in actual bl romance.

and if the heartbreakingly, over the top romantic dialogue wasn't enough, this is their official art, too:

like does any of this look straight to you? (also sukuna can't stop trying to get his hands all over yuuji, it's insane.)

i think it's pretty clear that sukuita is essentially canon already. and short of gege drawing them violently making out with each other (which, technically, that's what fighting is like for them) that crazy one-eyed cat made it nearly transparent that sukuita is actually a thing.

gege, you're THE shipper. to think they got away with inserting the most wonderfully messed up and fascinating yaoi story into a shounen series about a boy who literally sticks his enemy's fingers in his mouth is just crazy.

would it be a stretch to say Akihiko & Yukari are lowkey BPD-coded? cuz this realization is driving me insane

One thing I love about chemistry is how random it is. Two phenomenal Oscar-winning actors can give the performances of their life, but still lack chemistry on their scenes. Scene partners can lack chemistry even if they're happily married and you can see their love behind the scenes. People who hate each other in real life can have chemistry. They can have chemistry even if the script is insufferable. They can lack chemistry even if their lines are the most beautiful poetry you'll ever hear. They can be pretty mediocre or straight-up awful actors, but have amazing chemistry and just come alive when they're together and you watch it like... OH. Like I said, random. You can't fabricate, you can't catch in a bottle, it just manifests and fades sponatenously and it's out of everyone's control. And the unpredictability of it makes it way more fun to me. I love it.

i hope this makes sense bc i truly mean this in the most respectful and level headed way, but the heaviness of emotional intimacy in the instances david takes on the role of roger’s mother on ‘the wall’ makes me so fucking emotional. like the lyrics are so incredibly vulnerable and heartbreaking. and of course they are based around roger’s own personal expierences and roger trusted david enough to actually have him sing these lyrics and really help bring them to life. he trusted david enough to actually speak those words out loud to roger as his mother and to hear david singing about her baby which is obviously roger. wow i just can’t imagine how emotional it was to hear, like especially for the first time……. 🥺😔

God gave me my joy and gratitude back on Sunday through the love and kindness of my favorite church lady. i have not been able to stop thinking about her offering to take me home and then actually taking me home because she went out of her way for me once again when she didn't have to. we were only in the car for a few minutes but i felt so rested, peaceful and genuinely enjoyed our time together as we talked ab random stuff and laughed. she allowed me to vent to her a little bit and listened to me and asked me if i was okay. she told me if we needed anything she would help. she gave me a random bag of cucumbers too LOL??? i think someone gave them to her and she didn't know what to do with them so she wanted us to have them.

it's the best feeling in the world knowing that you're loved and how Jesus' love shines through His sheep. this is why church fellowship is so important to me and in general, but especially to God and Jesus. when people love you as He first loved us, it brings about SO MUCH healing in ways you don't even know you needed until you get it. my heart has just turned to mush and i adore what He has given me through her. i realized yesterday why that has impacted me so much as i was writing in my journal about it. i usually write and then sometimes read it back to God. when i read it out loud i was like "ohhh that's Gospel". i wrote about how she really cares for me, listens to me, goes out of her way, and makes me feel safe. that is exactly how Jesus is with me.... i also feel like a child in the best way in their presence. so to see the Gospel shining through her just made me love and appreciate her even more and thank God even more. He knew i needed that after all i had been through lately and i feel so free and i'm able to process and heal again. i am so blessed and so is our relationship. i love being loved!!! my cup is so full and i'm able to pour out of mine and give it back to others. freedom in Christ is SO REAL, y'all i can't get over any of this..... He always brings me back to the Gospel and out of that is where the freedom begins!🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥

i do think its kinda funny when i see someone in the year of our lord 2024 talk about vocal synth music like its all gone downhill since like 2010 because like dont get me wrong i love a good niconicodouga-ass 2008 ass vocaloid joint BUT also like. the past couple years have had the most fascinatingly creative and expressive uses of vocal synthesizers ive ever heard in my life DJFSKHJDFS dont write it all off just yet!!

[inactiveshrine]

gonna be real bud if your fic relies so heavily on intense triggering themes and shock value that you're averse to putting warnings on it to "maintain surprise" and "avoid spoilers", then you act like you did nothing wrong when people are upset that you didn't make any effort to turn them away and allow them to protect themselves, while also telling them it's their fault that they read something that upset them when they could have never known it contained specific things that will upset them, i think you are a tar pit

[fisherrprince]

waaaait the entire 14 ost is on Spotify/apple music !!!!!! waaaaaaaiit!!!

i think a big part of why i have never been able to relate to or feel sorry for walter white in any capacity is that he reminds me too much of my dad

[swagging-back-to]

idk this is gonna get me a lot of hate mail but as someone with chronic illness and pain i really dont like how everyone immediately jumps to guzzle tylenol the second something hurts

your body is hurting for a reason. to tell you something is wrong. if you ignore that youre not solving the problem at all. if you cannot feel the pain then you will not know anything is wrong at all.

people who literally cannot feel pain suffer because of it. they get injured often and die from medical complications they werent even aware of.

you wouldnt ignore appendicitis pain. why are you ignoring something as solvable as a dehydration headache, or strained muscles in your back.

It's kinda like before anti-psycotics I experienced my innerworld, my subconscious, the observable world, and other people innerworlds all on top of each other. They mixed together and when information was missing it was hard to tell as it was all so messy.

All those realities still exist, and they still exist all at the same time. Now, they are all the same world, instead of layered realities. Delusions no longer exist in bubbles that I get stuck in but as a part of the world that contradicts or doesn't contradict other parts.

The world is like nothing else. I'm still depressed, suicidal, and delusional. But now I can like sorta feed my self and keep my body clean. I had all the tools before to do so, but my entire life I couldn't keep up and I never knew why. I thought maybe trauma and autism, those still play a part but like literally my life is just. Exactly the same but I shower and pick up things I don't want to step on off the floor.

My self awareness too. It's always been a struggle for me to understand how I'm perceived. I'm constantly, as I think most people do, reflecting, making changes, and grieving. But now progress is more satisfying. I can make plans that have more moving parts and understand situations without that sliding reality feeling. Even if my actual follow through is the same.

I dissociate a lot still

I tend to react well to medications and antipsychotics are nothing to mess around with. But I but a lot of thought (I was lucky to be able to) into starting them and the results just. They weren't what I was expecting. Like, I expected them to work, but like. like look at this I wrote this long silly post that stays on topic and moves between subtopics. I didn't even plan that. My thoughts are just. Literally organized. And I was able to write in an organic way before my delusions got worse last year, but it still wasn't like this and I wasn't always able to.

i should just start using a tag system whether i go back and tag the archive or not. the earlier i start the less work itll be to edit the backlog.
