adding to this I've been toying with the idea that he might be somewhere in the aroace spectrum, probably demisexual because what he values above everything is human connection, a bond, and although he has no preference for any gender, it doesn't mean he feels especially attracted to anybody beyond their ideals. For him to develop sexual appetite it'd necessitate a background, history together. He doesn't really do affairs or flings and his drive is practically dead because catching his interest takes a lot more than just interactions, he needs specific a specific spark of likeness (to a degree) and he's already a rarity in common society.
small musing but the way i write kogami he doesn't feel anything remotely romantic for akane, he simply respects her and the bond shared with her is that of a person who aside from makishima has managed to take a dive into his mind and figure out the inner machinations, though her approach is less damaging and there's mutual respect where with makishima there was violent impulses. anyway, kogami doesn't really have a preference and doesn't really think about romance in general, there's a lot going on in his head for it to be at the front of his mind.
hi hhave you considered writing Nikolai Gogol? Do you have ships for him?
BSD characters are dangerous for me because I've considered writing or have written: akutagawa, chuuya, fyodor, nikolai, yosano, fukuzawa, koyo, fitzgerald.... Save me
I can write nikolai for U but first you'll have to let me draw him like this
Edit;
THE WAY I DIDNT READ THE SECOND QUESTION. My only bsd ship so far is fyoya but I can learn. Send good fanart

โ so i suppose that it gets to a point where feelings gotta get hurt. โ (sasayama @ kogami ! )
load of bullshit.
the thought had been nagging at him all night, worming its way into the corner of his mind despite how often he told himself that these things didnโt matter to him, that heโd grown past the judgement of prioritizing his profession above expectations. itโs partially true. kogamiโs focus drifted from his drink, the cheap can of beer resting atop worn out wood of a table thatโd seen better years.
he knew heโd already had two to three beers too many, but that doesnโt stopping from swirling the half empty can of Sapporo beer between taut muscle, fingertips searching for anything solid that could ground him and keep him away from jabbing at sasayamaโs back.
โ i might have been glad to see youโve fared well after your discharge, but now i donโt know. now i think you just piss me off. โ no real bite in his words.
any other time in years past he wouldโve obliged, perhaps dated the girl โ a petite thing, charming smile, lean in the face, makes your stomach churn at the sigh. stealing moments together. he wouldโve liked it back then, because it made him feel older, like he had his life under control.
funny how fast everything can change.
well, everything except sasayama. kogami hardly expects to hear an apology, sees the end of this teasing far outside his reach that perhaps the ordinariness of this evening makes kogami be more himself now that heโs ever been. he takes deep swig of his beer, making a halfhearted attempt to quiet down the pounding in his head since the moment heโd been masked with the question: will you take the leap or will you go on pretending that all there is to life is to sit behind a monitor and run drills, scan peopleโs faces from the better end of the dominator.unfair to her, should he play the role of pretender.
โ figured iโd let her know, in case it got her hopes up for nothing. youโre one to judge. at the very least, iโm not the womanizer who canโt keep hands to himself. โ
@lustraveil
โ ย what took you so long? this is a total disaster!ย โ <3
โ donโt know about that. โ his confidence is contagious, if the way these parasitic curses still crawl up the walls looking for a bigger body to attach themselves to. he doesnโt let them go so far, not out of a sense of responsibility, no: the thing is heโd rather be doing anything else but this. thereโs a kamen rider special on TV. the plants he swore to be taking care of could use some watering, for sure. unfinished games waited in his console.
anything elseโฆย
small fries, they should learn not to waste space like that. Satoru chooses to humor Megumi, lightness in his step as he waves dismissively at the mess. โ you know what they say about art: itโs abstract, relative if you will. maybe Iโm trying my hand at new hobbies. ever heard of self-expression? โ
a snap of his fingers and the last stroke on the canvas is done. it is indeed messy, but Megumi doesnโt need to know that. โ aaaand weโre done here. shall we go? you can thank your amazing teacher for finishing up the work so quickly. โ

' you're not an exorcist, '
nor akuma, nor any other monster she was aware of. bloodied candles float in the air, their victims scattered across the ground in an almost unrecognizable mess. they accused her of being some kind of cursed spirit, whatever that was.
being called names hurts my feelings
they were weak, not even lasting a few minutes against her. they were no exorcist, otherwise they may have tried begging once they learned who she was. this other one however had the unmistakable stench of blood, and their smile was all but merry.
' you positively reek of death. were they friends of yours? they weren't much fun. will you be more fun than they were? '

โ hey. i can't sleep. :/ โ from lx
the disappointment in opening his phone and witnessing that text pop into his notifications was unparalleled. a melting pot of dread, animosity, and irritation. he'd been half expecting to be cheng xiaoshi or qiao ling striking a conversation, but no. there's an audible sigh he imparts into the empty room on who the sender really was. plucking his phone from the pillow as he mindlessly types a retort to @einshi.
โ๏ธ to liu xiao: hello. I can. goodnight.
and with that out of the way, he picks his book back up. eyes scanning the page once more, to resume where he'd left off. clearly not going to sleep.
still in awe at the constant flow of posts using the same line of "sorcerers aren't heroes in the story" to somehow diminish geto's actions throughout the series which, albeit born from reaching a breaking point after exploitation and misuse of his ability as well as the circumstances in which both he and gojo were forced to grow up into fine killers, it remains true that he killed more than a hundred of people indiscriminately (how convenient it would be that he only chose those who were "culprit" of mimiko and nanako's lynching, right? because there was a reliable way for him to know it right? there wasn't. it was indiscriminate killing under the assumption that not a single soul was free of sin), the murder of his parents who, as implied, were non-sorcerers as well and in order to add value and weight to his point, he considered their status as family didn't exempt them from sharing the same sin as the people in the village: by being ordinary humans they are bearers of cursed energy and their negativity would invariably end up being consumed by him, or the curse would consume someone else, someone like haibara, who was weaker, could be anyone but a sorcerer like him. and the treatment of every other non-sorcerer that heยดs come across in the series.
i've mentioned this before in a different blog but i bring it here too: there is no possible way in the main timeline where geto will choose anything else but his goal of total erradication of non-sorcerers, because as a person who needs a purpose, who needs something to live for, the dawning realization that he'd wiped out entire bloodlines in a single night, the emptiness gnawing at him from within, made him seek for something that would justify his actions and he latched onto the first thing that he knew: the only way to prevent curses from being born is either to erradicate cursed energy from humans or the humans themselves. he chose the latter, so it ended up becoming a fundamental part of his identity, giving it up means giving up on himself altogether, it means that leaving everything behind, leaving his one and only best friend behind, the school, his comrades, the killing of his own family, all of it held no meaning at all and he needs it, he needs it to mean something, needs his existence to not have been that of a machine grinding meat for the higher ups to feast upon, that maybe this way he can have the liberty of acting upon his own desires and not those of others who only benefitted from the sacrifice of others. he turned his fangs back at them, and they hated him for it, but he hated himself more because he knows no other way to defend himself from total failure and meaninglessness.
so basically, while he is a victim of a corrupt system, just because sorcerers are not exactly heroes or molded to be saviors, it doesn't mean absolution: at the end of the day, even those who were also victims of the same system did not arrive to the same conclusion. his actions are entirely his own, it's the path he chose. he doesn't wish to be forgiven, he doesn't think to force others to follow. does the snake ask for the mice's forgiveness? does it expect it? it does not, it is hungry, it doesn't know any other way to eat but this. and would you tell the mice, the snake is misunderstood, it is hungry. would it make sense to them? silly metaphor because animals hunt by instinct but truth remains relatively the same: he knows what he can do and what his strength amounts to, and he makes conscious use of it, unrelenting. you can't exactly categorize him as anything else but what he is: a curse. the worst curse user.
