BEPO USED CUTE ATTACK! AND IT’S SUPER EFFECTIVE AGAINST LAW! 

the innocent spring that was lost forever

spoilers for: jjk0, ch236, s2 shibuya arc (relating to stsg)

doomed from the start, geto was born with a cursed technique that literally required him to absorb, and fucking consume the waste from human society in order to get rid of them, to protect the non-sorcerers, geto has to wolf down rags of vomit n shit and fill himself with the trash of humanity so the humans can live.

satoru on the other hand was seen as a god, he was quite literally untouchable. he is all white hair and blue eyes — untainted. he was worshipped, even when he was just a child, as the future head of the gojo clan; no one has ever seen him as gojo satoru, he was the strongest since people found out he had six eyes and limitless, his childhood was stolen away because of his natural strength; naturally he also doesn’t have to hide his feelings with a customer service smile like suguru does.

‘no one is allowed to take youth away from young people. it’s unforgivable.’ (he was an abused that didn’t become the abuser)

and that’s why him and suguru clicked together so well, suguru was the only one who didn’t treat him like an anomaly, and suguru had the ability to keep up with him too.

‘we are the strongest.’

the star plasma vessel incident

now picture gojo and geto (not to mention the absolute satisfaction suguru would’ve felt when he was put on par with the gojo satoru) two teenagers sky-high on their horses, having never come across a single person that was strong enough to even challenge their power, then comes toji fushiguro, some guy with zero cursed energy and some metal weapons, then he absolutely decimated them and left them traumatised.

this isn’t to put down heavenly restriction, as we can see, toji and maki are both strong as shit. but just imagine the strongest duo being destroyed by this toji guy.

gojo on the brink of death figured out reverse curse technique, but before that, he dies first.

then we get to see what geto would have done if satoru did actually die, and this is one of those few universes where we don’t really need a reversed AU to figure out what he would’ve done instead.

immediately, without hesitation, geto brings out all the strongest curses he has absorbed and fights with all his might against the guy who killed satoru.

of course he doesn’t succeed.

he gets knocked out, and by the time he wakes up again, satoru has already finished the job (whose ego just shoots up even more. ‘throughout heaven and earth, i alone am the honoured one.’) and here comes the turning point.

when gojo was carrying riko amanai out the room of applauding people, he asked suguru ‘do you want to kill them all? the me right now probably wouldn’t feel a thing.’

and suguru answered ‘forget it. it’s pointless.’

at that moment, when they both faced death and almost crossed the border, satoru decided to use suguru as a moral compass, and whatever suguru says, goes.

a lot of people blame yuki for the turning of geto suguru, but i think it was that sentence that gojo said, it was probably the first ever mention of such an idea in geto’s head, even if he doesn’t realise it. and it’s ironic, that geto was gojo’s reason of staying righteous, but not the other way around. but it’s also what makes satosugu more tragic and even more beautiful.

‘geto was gojo’s first and last blue spring of youth.’

geto’s spiral

from then on, it all goes to shit. other than the ‘separation anxiety’ geto has from gojo, there’s the death of haibara, then the discovery of mimiko and nanako; it wasn’t yuki who put that maybe into his brain, she was just solidifying his already existent maybe, she’s just the messenger.

to a certain extent, i think toji is also part of the reason why geto calls non-sorcerers monkeys. he fostered a hate for them because the man who robbed them of their innocence was a person without cursed energy, it also explains why he’s particularly mean towards maki in jjk0

he loses weight. but it’s just heat stress. he’ll be fine. (sometimes, i wonder whether gojo ever blames himself for not pressing harder, that maybe if he did, geto would still be there with him.)

‘satoru has become the strongest.’

(hope u noticed the symbolism with the healthiness of the beta fish and that one looks at the fish and the other doesn’t)

kfc breakup

their youth officially ends in front of kfc. when suguru decides to leave jujutsu high and live his own way of life.

‘it’s just that in a world like this, i couldn’t laugh from the bottom of my heart.’

then in jjk s2, we see the truth. it was a sunny and breezy day, and from suguru’s perspective, all is well, gojo stands out because he’s gojo, and that’s it.

‘are you gojo satoru because you’re the strongest, or are you the strongest because you’re gojo satoru?’ (which was given an answer to in ch236, it’s the latter)

again, in jjk0, when gojo held up his hands, ready to blast suguru into pieces, his hand is sluggish, the movement is slow, and it shows that satoru is tired, he’s grown hopeless, he didn’t know what to do, he gave up.

but then in s2, we’re shown the reality again, the movement is like every other one, he’s angry, he’s frowning and he’s shouting, unlike the quiet in jjk0, he puts down his hand fast.

it’s the one thing satoru can’t do. even though letting him go is against the law, he’s supposed to arrest a curse user, but he can’t, how can he?

jjk 0

it’s been a decade before satoru sees geto again. but even then, gojo still recognises the scent of his curse energy, without hesitation.

and it’s sad, the first sentence gojo says to him is a threat, to take his hands off his students.

during the night parade of a hundred demons, gojo was able to save his students because he still knows geto like the back of his hand. he can see through his plans because he’s suguru.

so when finally, suguru is dying in the alleyway, it’s an intimate scene. even us, the audience isn’t allowed to intrude, we’re zooming away, and gojo’s lips move and only geto hears him: ‘at least curse me a little in the end’ (because geto long thought gojo lost his trust for him)

‘we’ll meet again, right?’

then it’s a flashback, to gojo’s first time letting suguru go, and the next time they see each other, gojo has killed suguru; even then, he’s still reinforcing his ideology: ‘i really hate those monkeys’ but even then, satoru still sees him as his best friend— ‘my best friend is the one who picked it up, my one and only.’ (despite geto not believing it.)

so gojo really meant it when he said ‘love is the most twisted curse of them all.’

shibuya arc

suddenly satoru sees geto again. they were the strongest duo, and they were so close that kenjaku wagered their entire plan’s determinant on how gojo would react when he saw geto again.

(this is why gojo vowed to never be emotional in a fight ever again, revealed in ch236, because geto’s burial from his emotional attachment is why the shibuya arc even exists)

satoro’s love isn’t one-sided either.

‘how can you let yourself get used like that, suguru?’

and just like that, geto’s body moved on its own because protecting satoru is like second nature, so much so that even his corpse alone can do it based on purely muscle memory.

ch236

during gojo’s visit to the limbo (hopefully not permanent) he said he would’ve been happy if geto was there to pat him on the back. after some more than 10 years, satoru never truly got over suguru. on his death bed, not even, he’s still thinking about suguru.

2nd gen satosugu— itafushi

that is an analysis for another day, but i think the sadistic gege might just end itadushi in the exact same way satosugu was ended. sukuna might just use megumi against yuuji in just the exact same way, and if he does, goodnight.

gonna read some fluf fanfic

My kokoro cant handle this update.

Vivi joining the Strawhats: A summary

“I am the echoes of those who had been slain by the metal of injustice. I am the shadows of men long silenced and hidden from the light. I am he who rides the black winds of carnage. I am death himself. Prepare yourself, for when next we speak, it will be face to face. And you will know that your death has come.”

🚧

Saw a tweet some time ago that was basically saying how if you think about it,,, Bakugou really isn’t anybody special and that’s honestly one of my favorite things about him.

And then I watched the team matches again so I started thinking.

I thought about how it’s implied that Bakugou worked on his everything all on his own. And then thought about how strong he was even just entering UA. Thought about how he’s up in ranks with kids who were born in high society and hero families with home training and similar quirks. Thought about how he’s acknowledged as one of, if not the strongest after the mc. Thought about how he’s really just a kid with big dreams who’s working for them. So we got this little number. I wrote it a while go, just now posting it here but I might complete it one day, who knows.

We’ll call this one:

Perfect Victory

It’s his fight now. 

Everyone’s watching. 

They always are. 

No matter their opinions, if they love him, if they loathe him, the one thing they cannot do, the one thing they can never do, is ignore him.

He looks at the team surrounding him, a conglomerate of blunt edges and mismatched abilities, and sees pieces slot into place, he already knows which buttons to press, he already has the combination moves in mind, he doesn’t need a cheat code. He looks at them and he thinks strong. He looks at them and he thinks, perfect.

He grins, heart already matching the pace of his mind, fast, unyielding, unrelenting. He can already hear the roar in his ears and he can feel the untamed energy reflecting in his eyes.

He’s excited.

And is it beautiful? Is it tragic? Is it poetic? That he is in a place where he has no right to be. That he had gotten a taste of the clouds, wet and heavy and heady like sin, and refused to let himself be dragged down. He has desire on his tongue, want in his lungs and he. refuses. to. let. go.

He’s a boy with an explosion quirk, yet he taught himself how to fly.

Icarus boy, crafting his wings with the nitroglycerin in his palms. Icarus, always reaching too high.

Among old names and legacies and inheritance he has the audacity to be reaching for the best.

Others are reaching (for good, to provide, to prove themselves, help their friends, their families) but he, he has the insolence to want to be on top.

And what is he, who is he to aim for the top? 

Katsuki isn’t special.

No one entrusted their legacy to him.

He’s not born out tyrannical parental ambitions.

He’s not from old names and ancient money.

(He didn’t receive guiding hands, or solemn advice or cheerful instructions. No one gave him a fucking cheet sheet. He is no one’s successor. And he’s okay with that. His wings aren’t made of wax.)

Katsuki isn’t special.

But that means nothing. He won’t allow it to.

He’s on his way to be the best. He’s always been willing to put in the work for it.

(That may be the only thing that hurts. When they see that he works and he works and he works to become faster, stronger, better, and they act as if they expected him to stumble and not get up. When they see his power and underestimate him because they don’t expect, they don’t want him to get better. He had never thought that hard meant impossible. He was always willing to work for what he wanted. He didn’t need a mentor to do that.

How many people think controlling explosions is something that comes easily?

His dreams aren’t unattainable)

What do you call boys with wild eyes and even wilder hearts?

 (A yell)

The fight starts.

Icarus was never meant to reach too low either.

Let’s be honest here– Nami’s boobs aren’t the only things that got bigger over the course of One Piece

this was my full piece for the fma anthology my friend organized!!! i’m so happy i was given the opportunity to be a part of this amazing book…..i fucking love greedling

this is also on my shop as a print but i’m out traveling for a while so my shop is currently closed….!

I want my writing to be smart.

Here’s what I mean: I want to write something you can understand on the first go, no problem. But then, the more you think about it, the more little things you realize. Are those little things essential to grasping the plot? No, but they enhance it. Most importantly, you feel smart for pointing them out, and I feel smart for writing them.
