I think it bypass a lot of people that in Yuji's Domain, he and Sukuna still fought. It did not go away until 268.
Yuji did not just have a "yap session" (I really hate that term now) with Sukuna, he gave him a chance to live. Mind you, again, they were still in Yuji's Domain from 265 - 268. So every hit Yuji landed on Sukuna was a critical hit, a guaranteed hit. Exactly what Domain Expansions do.
DEs are just reflections of that person. But they are still battlegrounds.
Look at the start of their fight in 266!
That's where they were last seen in 265! Look at the gate!
If one pays attention, they'll see that they just moved as they fought.
Actually, just thinking about it... it's something that in Yuji's Domain, their physical appearances changes.

Another thing I wish a few could come to understand in the community: it's okay that deities share a domain. It's not ahistorical, spg, or anything like that, it's a concept that's existed in the pantheon for thousands of years. We're talking about a pantheon where we've long left the hundreds as far as the number of deities that are a part of it.
To put it into perspective, there are three thousand Okeanids alone and a deity for each star and planet.
There are twenty light deities split between night and day. There are fifteen deities with a hand in poetry, and that doesn't even breach into writing and storytelling in itself. Three deities invented language, and thirteen have a hand in memory, intelligence, and wisdom. Thirty to forty have domains in the arts/crafts. Over twenty have a domain over animals and the wilds, as well as many more presiding over the earth, plants, and agriculture. There are four deities with a direct tie to the moon. You get the point I'm making here, two things can and do coexist at once as both are true.
I hope that as a community we can spend less time arguing over who is what and just accept the harmony that everyone who worshipped the Theoi was at peace with.

Fables Press Release
Subject: Fables Enters the Public Domain
15 September 2023
By Bill Willingham
For Immediate Release
The Lede
As of now, 15 September 2023, the comic book property called Fables, including all related Fables spin-offs and characters, is now in the public domain. What was once wholly owned by Bill Willingham is now owned by everyone, for all time. It’s done, and as most experts will tell you, once done it cannot be undone. Take-backs are neither contemplated nor possible.
Q: Why Did You Do This?
A number of reasons. I’ve thought this over for some time. In no particular order they are:
1) Practicality: When I first signed my creator-owned publishing contract with DC Comics, the company was run by honest men and women of integrity, who (for the most part) interpreted the details of that agreement fairly and above-board. When problems inevitably came up we worked it out, like reasonable men and women. Since then, over the span of twenty years or so, those people have left or been fired, to be replaced by a revolving door of strangers, of no measurable integrity, who now choose to interpret every facet of our contract in ways that only benefit DC Comics and its owner companies. At one time the Fables properties were in good hands, and now, by virtue of attrition and employee replacement, the Fables properties have fallen into bad hands.
Since I can’t afford to sue DC, to force them to live up to the letter and the spirit of our long-time agreements; since even winning such a suit would take ridiculous amounts of money out of my pocket and years out of my life (I’m 67 years old, and don’t have the years to spare), I’ve decided to take a different approach, and fight them in a different arena, inspired by the principles of asymmetric warfare. The one thing in our contract the DC lawyers can’t contest, or reinterpret to their own benefit, is that I am the sole owner of the intellectual property. I can sell it or give it away to whomever I want.
I chose to give it away to everyone. If I couldn’t prevent Fables from falling into bad hands, at least this is a way I can arrange that it also falls into many good hands. Since I truly believe there are still more good people in the world than bad ones, I count it as a form of victory.
