#[ ooc || out of control ]#ive honestly never really thought much about nnoitras scar except for the physical consequences of the injury#so that was a really good thought and writing exercise. I might change my mind with some more thought on it but for now im happy with this#as with all things its somewhat of a complicated manner#theres the emotional injury (which grimmjow is ignoring) which adds so much weight to the scar#it just feels like such a mark of failure#it was so inconsequential to nnoitra. he did the damage with such ease#grimmjow has always ALWAYS felt like such a small fish in a large pond and i think his fight with ichigo was meant to finally allow him to#grow out of that self defeating self destructive and beastial mentality (which wa representative of the general hollow pov & not exclusive#to just grimmjow himself ) and then nnoitra comes in and immediately denies him (and HM) that growth#like from a literary analysis point of view the lesson (which i believe is quite in line with nnoitras general hollow mantra) is that growt#for hollows is impossible#and should be denied and rejected at every turn becasue there is no HOPE for them there is no FUTURE in which they will be accepted#the best and only thing a hollow can do is Die. And Grimmjow should have taken the opportunity to die on a shinigami blade#at least then the would reincarnate. but no he was stubborn and tried to take more than the desert owed him an nnoitra would be his reminde#its a confusianist perspective that seems a little at odds with Nnoitras general symbolism? but simultaneously aligns with Aizens and the#overarching theme of the espada in general (which i dont personally believe was intentional on Kubos part but maybe?)#idk i guess i have more to say but its not quite a fully formed thought
