I can’t believe we got an infodump on simple domains AGAIN over a Sukuna backstory.

More complaining under the cut.

Usually I am one to give Gege the benefit of the doubt and will read heavily into what little information we are given. But I can't defend this chapter themes or character wise.

Even if this turns out to be a fakeout, going in painstaking detail over a show-not-tell battle in a way that lacks characterization and heartfelt emotion sucks to read. Even if the new shadow style and simple domain debacle goes somewhere, having it the main focus after an extremely traumatic battle instead of characters processing their emotions sucks to read. Even if Gojo is alive and that's why they're this chipper, everyone ignoring his sacrifice and efforts along with Choso's sucks to read.

I'm happy Yuta and Higuruma are alive but why was their revival off-screened? Yuta was so defensive over Gojo and everyone treating him like an object just 8 chapters ago. What happened to that? Why is everyone treating this battle like it was no big deal? (Also why the fudge did Kusakabe tell Yuji, a 15 year old, to his face he should've been killed while disparaging Gojo for protecting the life of a child???)

After the Shibuya Incident, there was a whole segment dedicated to how this affected the average person. The Culling Games ended and there are still bloodthirsty freaks running around. What happened to them? Is Angel hunting them down and that's why Hana is missing? Infodumping on anything except the battle would've been better.

I doubt we'll get any more info on Sukuna, Kenjaku, and Tengen at this point. We'll be lucky if there's a funeral for even Geto's body. Shoko was absent this entire chapter which makes me thing she's still trying to save Gojo or she's preparing their bodies for a funeral.

Anyways. This is the worst JJK chapter for me hands down. My hopes for the final 2 are mostly dashed. Crunch and poor working conditions really do ruin art my goodness.

One of my absolute favorite “cliche” tropes is amnesia fics where reader has been dating character for years, but they forget and then they can only remember dating their ex. So it’s like they go back to the ex because it’s all they’ve ever known, and their current love has to cope with seeing the love of their life in the arms of another guy.

I could read that trope a million times over and never get bored or think it’s too repetitive.

intended to make chocolate/chocolate chip cookies today to remedy the tragic lack of desserts currently in my house.

swerved at the last minute into impulsive baking experiments, and now I have a batch of chocolate-matcha cookies instead.

I'm pretty pleased with how they turned out!

The pictures in question:

Ur so sweet!!!! No the ordeal was irl, I already detailed it in the discord so I'll use screenshots(back means back to the hotel btw, and I'd been on a journey to get pics of bay filming locations!):

idk how to live so im going to talk to myself out loud until i do

[july-19th-club]

overall i really like that space sweepers has next-to-no romance in it; like, even the grieving father never had a partner, he was a single dad. bubs isn't boy-crazy, just super girly, and we know nothing whatsoever about tiger's romantic history (i think he's gay, specifically in a belligerent 'whaddaya got, a problem? a brutally violent cartel hitter can't be gay? get off my ass' way). and i think this opens a lot of room up for other interesting kinds of relationships. but i also love that the only person with what MIGHT be a sexual history is captain jang, with a stereotype of a Lovelorn French Man who she POSSIBLY had a one-night stand with and he's still thinking about it years later while she behaves as if she's never even heard of him to such a doth-protest-too-much degree she is almost certainly also, sometimes, thinking about it. it's a very minor subplot but at the same time i got the distinct impression that jang doesn't really hate him per se, he's just, like, her embarrassing ex-friends-with-benefits who she wishes wasn't actually a pretty nice guy

Rant because yesterday I saw my fucking unit manager eat a chocolate bouquet with my name on it and it was the last fucking straw

My management at work is shite.

They pick on you if you have more than 3 episodes of absences even if you acquired the sickness at work or if it was just for a day for a chronic condition they know you have and promised not to count into the absences. Even if you're not supposed to come in sick to not get vulnerable people sick.

They give you speeches about poor care and complaints from relatives (which, I do think the complaints are justified) and also give you a ratio of 1:5 of nursing stuff (nurses and assistants total) in a high dependency all-care in bed unit. When you show them you physically need another 18h of labour on shift (so another 2 people) they say to ask for help from other sections, who have the same ratios and also need another person minimum. We're drowning in new admissions and delayed care and they come and ask you if you tidied up the med cupboard yet today. They never see patients themselves, not even when we can't manage on the floor.

They do infection control audits and dunk you down on things you know doctors and not nurses are doing. They send you to extra training during working hours and complain you didn't do all your on the unit work a few hours later. They don't allocate time for elearning and tell you to just do it when you're not busy - like there's ever a time like that.

But you know what is annoying me the most right now?

We try our best and we're good at it and the patients and relatives appreciate the care we give them. They bring gifts - to the people who feed their mums every day, who helped their dads walk again, who help their nanas have a wash and braided their hair, who change their dressings and clean their teeth and mouth, who check on them four times a day minimum, who get them their medication on time despite those horrible staffing ratios, and who escalate to doctors who don't want to listen (mostly because they're also busy).

And the patients and their families, they bring gifts. Cards, chocolates, shop vouchers with nurse's names. Little pens, lanyards, bath salts, candles. Juice and squash, coffee pods, tea bags.

And you know where it all goes? To the management office

We're not allowed to put it in our staff room. Don't know why but I've been told off for putting chocolate boxes in there. It always has to go to the office first and maybe some time after, the manger will put it in the staff room if she feels like it.

And you know what happens once those gifts land in that office? We, the people who actually provide the care 24/7, and get praises despite operating on 2/3 of the staffing we need, we don't see them ever again
