When your ship is def acting suspiciously coupley but they aren’t canon so you just scream „STOP BEING GAY AND START BEING GAY‼️‼️“
Yeah.
Watching pictures and videos from a year ago
Demon Zoro AU where he is sent on a mission to Earth to assassinate a tyrannical priest. In typical Zoro fashion, however, he gets lost trying to find his target.
After wandering around for some time, he eventually encounters a human that peaks his interest: Luffy. Before he knows it, he is smitten. He abandons his mission and instead stays with Luffy, masking himself as a normal human, although with Luffy he is not afraid to show his demon-like features. Luffy thinks Zoro is cool and shows no fear towards him at all, unlike others.
Typical day in the life activities ensue, with Zoro trying to manage grocery shopping with Luffy, cleaning the house, doing laundry, etc. Appliances make him angry and electronics confuse him—he has also scared the mailman nearly half to death on several occasions.
Luffy has to help Zoro out quite a bit as burning down the house, hell, the whole neighborhood, is a constant concern.
Zoro claims Luffy as his human, and has literally no interest in anyone else. He'll scare, glare, maybe even attempt to kill others if they piss him off enough. But Luffy is the only one he listens to, protects, and loves.
Luffy definitely has Zoro wrapped around his finger. The big bad demon melts when he sees that sunshine smile, feels that warm skin in a tight hug, sweet lips pressed firmly against his own. Luffy can get away with a lot when it comes to Zoro, and Zoro gladly lets him.
--------------------------------------------------------------
I just thought this would be a fun idea. Demon Zoro struggling to survive on Earth, but he refuses to return to his own domain in Hell because he falls hard for Luffy and wants to be by his side. I might write short stories/do threads for this, but for now, these are just my thoughts.
Wow, Heartbeat is amazing.
I loved how we got to see two different sides to each member, one as an idol and one as a person. It was really cool to see how they began to mesh together as the music video progressed.
The cinematography and CG was really well down too! The MV was strung together so nicely. I loved the galaxy and night themed scenes so much, oml. xD
The lyrics were beautiful like always, and the song itself was really pretty. ✨ Such a nice song ahhh! 💜
I’m lowkey highkey crying. :”)
Cr. twoy
:(
I hate that they have to deal with all of this crap. I don’t understand why people can’t seem to, or rather, don’t WANT to understand the concept of privacy and respect. It’s not that hard to understand, at all.
People need to widen their perspective and open their eyes. They need to stop living in their own world and stop thinking that’s it’s okay to do these sorts of thing to idols. They need to think rationally and logically about their actions for these instances to stop occurring.
It’s sad that along with BTS’ growing popularity, these instances won’t lessen unless us as a fandom and BigHit really do something about it. Even though it is hard to regulate these kinds of things.
At least they take care of it to the best of their ability as idols.
Anyways, I’m happy that Jungkook is happy! He seemed to have enjoyed the VLive a lot~ 💜
I finally got to listen to A Brand New Day and just— I didn’t expect to like it so much. I thought it would be similar to Dream Glow, which I do like, but it’s not one of my favorite genres to listen to. But I was so wrong, ahh!
I love songs that have an oriental vibe to it, and after listening to the first few seconds and hearing that oriental flute— I knew I was going to like it. 😂 The flute tune is so catchy, I love it.
I also liked how they split up Tae’s, Hobi’s and Zara’s part! The distribution of lines was pretty well balanced throughout the song, but Zara’s part didn’t really feel like a “feature”. I also liked how Zara’s part eased into the song, and how she had her “verse” a bit later in the song. It flowed well, for the most part.
The only thing I’m not fond of in this song was Zara’s part. I feel like it was a bit too much and it slightly took away the oriental fusion vibe.
Overall, A Brand New Day is such a bop. Imma be listening to this quite a bit, I already know it. 😂
Exited for Yoongi’s and Namjoon’s song! 💫
I love how you mentioned Gojo being a gift, a rarity and a power. It's painfully true, it's not that Gojo isn't cared for as a person at all, that's false. But it's the fact his powers overshadow that he's a person as well. We see this in the scene, "Who is Satoru Gojo to you?" most prominently. Everyone said one thing, the Strongest. I will not pretend that other details weren't added but that was the main highlight. The Strongest. Not, "my teacher", or "a good friend" or any of the sort as the main point. It's "the Strongest" that's the main highlight. That's his main appeal to the world.
And of course, Gojo would centre his personality around being the strongest because that is the expectation placed on him by his peers and the role everyone expects him to take. Had he fell short, he'd be taken for a failure, and we do know Gojo had plenty of experiences exorcising curses and surviving assassination attempts, the life he led was meant to one destination, the Strongest. He couldn't fall short, this is what his entire life is based on. He'd practically have no identity to go off of, the Strongest is the sole thing he's pushed for, the only reason he's seen, the sole reason he has any form of purpose. Before Geto, he had practically no one he was very close to. Imagine if Gojo failed to meet the expectations. Who would he even be? People would look down on him, he'd go down as one of the biggest fumbles in history. And it's not like he'd have anyone to live for, or even himself for the matter. That's all he had until Geto, it's no wonder he'd stick to it.
Strength would be the only thing he had (or he thinks) to care for. He's rich, his clan is influential, heck — he's darn attractive and he himself acknowledges that. The only thing he needs to do is become the Strongest. It's all so simple…Or so he thought. His lack of connections and simple-mindedness led him to neglect connections as they weren't a huge part of his life (until Suguru ofc). It's laid out in front of him.
Or so he thought. His lack of connections and simple-mindedness led him to neglect connections as they weren't a huge part of his life (until Suguru ofc). It's laid out in front of him.
And his technique is major proof he cannot rely on anyone but himself, the very infinity separating him from the people around him. They'll get in his way and mess things up. As Kenjaku had said, "Every technique is its own worldview". This is what Gojo's technique gives him. The Infinity that separates him from others, Lapse Blue that repels things around him. And we see how he fights- alone. Sorcerers fight together, and it's only together they beat curses. (hence the jumpings) But not Gojo. He is the exception to this. He fights alone. If others join him, they get in the way. Like a "monster". He's alone in the battlefield.
Now, to our precious Suguru Geto. Geto was a big influence in Gojo's life because they complemented one another. In one way is Geto's more thoughtful insight in things. I've already stated above Gojo was rather simple-minded. Like you've mentioned, a 17yo Gojo saw the world as either weak or strong. He doesn't consider anything else, he comes off as unempathetic and uncaring when he really just doesn't know or doesn't outright consider it. Geto offered a different perspective to Gojo, he made Gojo think more deeply before taking action and looking at how Gojo entrusted it in Geto's hands whether he should massacre the Star Religious Group, he trusted Geto's judgement so much that he'd become a mass murderer if Geto had said it is justified to kill them.
It is obvious Geto is more thoughtful, take the basketball scene. Geto thinks deeply and offers moral points. Something Gojo admits to seeing it only as a tool to make one feel better about themselves. He points out the Societal Impact Gojo's actions would have. Gojo doesn't think about that, to illustrate, being careless and not putting up a veil. In the basketball scene, he couldn't see the problem it would have but Geto did, he pointed out that non-sorcerers knowing the existence of Cursed Spirits would create more fear and anxiety and result in more Cursed Spirits. He even joked whether they'd be blamed for Amanai's death and yes, of course, him being willing to massacre the star religious group. Gojo isn't very moral, he has a loose moral code.
Hell, that's evident during Geto's defection. Gojo didn't try to insult Geto or call him out on his wrongdoings, he asked for a reason. It just seems to me he wanted an answer to justify Geto's actions.
It wasn't until after Geto left he realised his strength couldn't save everyone. He could only save those who want to be saved. He realised the flaws in jujutsu society and how that led Geto onto his path. Gojo could've easily overthrown jujutsu society, he remarked that himself but he doesn't because he knew it'd just lead to even more chaos and destruction because it would only be temporary. By nurturing a new generation, he could rebuild everything with them. Geto always treated Gojo with so much love, care and respect, I'm certain he wanted to do something familiar to also fill the hole that Geto left after his defect. I could also add he realised the injustice the system did to him as well, he's only reduced to the Strongest, Geto pointed that out and although he stuck to it, he realises it wasn't exactly the best way for him to go but he wrongly thought it was too late for him to change. In a light novel, Gojo interrupts Nanami about Yuji, declaring that they weren't dealing with Sukuna's vessel but protecting a kid named Yuji Itadori. He obviously doesn't want his students in his role. And even more, evidenced by Gojo when he told Yuta off about becoming the "monster".
OH GOD, I STILL HAVE *MORE* TO YAP ABOUT! I'm going to stop here because I have to study. 😭😭
Anyway, I love my glorious blue-eyed King, Satoru Gojo.
Happy late 35th birthday, sweetie. Rest in the afterlife.
Satoru Gojo character analysis (incomplete)
Happy late birthday, to the glorious blue eyed king.
I can’t stop thinking about how a kid will latch onto the praise and expectations of the adults around them. And that’s what Gojo did. From the moment he was born, he was told he would be great. To be great is to be different; As a kid, Gojo was treated as a gift, a rarity, a power— his innate talents overshadowed the fact that he was a person. As a kid, he didn’t catch onto the latter (that he is as human as anyone else), instead learning that he was special, incomparable, honored. His innate abilities coupled with how everybody saw him doomed Gojo to be shaped as a weapon. Can you blame Gojo for centering his personality around being the strongest? During the infamous fallout scene, Geto called Gojo out, playing on the concept of nature vs nurture, when he said, “Are you the strongest because you’re Satoru Gojo? Or are you Satoru Gojo because you’re the strongest?” Geto was essentially pointing out that the talents that Gojo was born with took on a huge defining role in who Gojo is as a person, which is to say, he’s powerful. And Gojo prides and defines himself on his strength. What did that leave room for? Certainly not human connection, introspection, or self expression— all things necessary to connect deeply with yourself, and others. Gojo was reduced to being strong, and only that. And when you’re strong, set apart from the rest, and praised for it, it’s not natural to think of yourself as the same as others. Being the strongest— such a position is inherently isolating. Because of his innate abilities, Gojo did not have much control over who he would become. (See: soft determinism definition for a philosophical explanation).
It’s important to note that Gege said that Gojo’s personality was his greatest strength. I believe he said this because it’s Gojo’s personality that lets him a) tap into his abilities that make him so strong in the first place, and b) handle the responsibility and isolation that comes with his position. In early life, Gojo was surrounded by an overbearing clan, without siblings, and without friends, and told that he was the chosen one who restored the balance of the world, as his mere existence caused curse users to retreat into the shadows— According to his own family and the Jujutsu Higher Ups, Gojo’s mission was to train, gain control over his abilities, and hone his skills. He did so, throwing himself into his training and mastering the tricky Six Eyes gift by reading old texts of his own will, training himself. Gojo was treated as a goal by his own family, and he never got a childhood or knew the warmth of a loving home. He never socialized with other humans. He didn’t get to run around and play. He didn’t ever see other children his age cry or smile. Rather, a huge responsibility was placed on him. Gojo never broke under the pressure. He was ambitious, and strong. He could train without having the normal human needs of socialization, acceptance, and love, fulfilled. He was conditioned to focus on being a weapon, capable and strong in battle, leaving no room for the autonomy of thinking and wishing for a life beyond sorcery. Who needs acceptance when you have already been defined, and you fulfill that role? What Gege said about Gojo’s personality being his greatest strength, it takes a certain kind of person to carry such responsibilities, and live isolated, without the need to break free from such mental, emotional, and physical confines. Gojo could do this, and thus, Gojo lived without human connection for most of his life (Geto and Gojo’s students being the sole exceptions), standing tall and strong— and alone. Another point: Gojo stated that he had trouble connecting to people. Everyone, to some degree, craves human connection, and needs it to thrive. In order to connect with others, we need vulnerability. So why could Gojo succeed even without his best friend in his life? His innate talent and intensive training had conditioned him against vulnerability in all senses— identity and strength wise. But this isn’t enough— most people would still break had they been in Gojo’s shoes. It’s Gojo’s personality that allows him to uphold himself, stay strong, and keep fighting for his mission, as we went over. It is as if an essential pathway going from the outside world to the heart, is blocked, shut off in Gojo. If you are to be the strongest, then you do not have the right to needing human connection to survive.
Gege stated that Gojo’s greatest weakness was also his personality. The very thing that allowed Gojo to become the strongest is what isolated him. That conditioning into being the strongest, along with his natural aloofness and insensitivity towards the emotions of others, created a roadblock in how Gojo connected with people. Gojo’s eyes were always trained on strength, creating a lens of “people are either strong, or weak.” The audience can see that when Gojo is 17 and arrogant, complaining about having to protect the weak. For Gojo, his entire world was jujutsu. While not heartless (we see him save regular people), Gojo had no idea how to talk to anybody, no idea how to care about anybody who wasn’t in a situation he was familiar with. As a teenager, Gojo is not the kindest soul (and this isn’t to fault him, as most teens aren’t the kindest person at that stage in life). Gojo makes callous comments that reflect his lack of sensitivity for others, such as asking Geto, “You think we’ll be blamed if the kid died from that?” (Gojo’s later behavior towards Ijichi is also telling, and it was stated that he does not realize how deeply he irks Utahime). At 17 years old, Gojo is simply doing the mission as the Higher Ups demand, without thinking much beyond that. He thinks of himself, how the mission affects him and him only. He even states that moral arguments are what people say to make themselves feel better. It’s clear that Gojo is not passionate and dedicated to their mission, not in the way Geto was (only for Geto to become disillusioned, see my Suguru Geto Character Analysis here). One could argue that Gojo’s weakness is that he isn’t innately empathetic, as he did not pay much attention to his or anyone else’s needs and feelings, which, while necessary for him to become the strongest solider, had also led to him living a life he didn’t choose, and without much ability for human connection. However, we do see moments in which Gojo does indeed connect with people through play (ie with Geto, Riko, Yuuji), and in these rare moments he may feel enough emotion to make decisions that go against the cold logic of Jujutsu Society, such as when he refuses to sleep, letting Riko have her last day of youth at the beach in Okinawa. Another key instance of this is when Gojo lets Geto walk away from KFC without killing him. (Before y’all attack me, please remember that 1) I am giving an evidence-based analysis, and 2) this isn’t to say that Gojo is a bad guy. Just because somebody is not deeply sensitive does not make them bad. Gojo is not a villain by any means. He does good things).
It wasn’t until a bit later on in life, after seeing his best friend defect, when Gojo gained another lens: that of protecting the youth from a corrupt system built on old traditions and child soldiers. Gojo’s new mission was one that his kid self, and all his peers, had needed. And that, that was the mission that Gojo dedicated himself to. —Adult Gojo’s way of caring for others was either through teaching them what he had learned himself (Jujutsu), or protecting/saving them in battle. He was never exposed to problems beyond his own, and he’s unfamiliar with the lives and feelings of “normal people.” Seeing strong and talented youth was something that made Gojo happy, as stated by Gege. Gege also stated that Gojo saved Megumi because Megumi was strong. Gojo’s craving for human connection does exist and come out— and we see it in the students he teaches. The anger that Gojo felt when Yuuji first died was potent, and real, as well. Where Gojo’s best friend dedicated himself to stopping “root” of curses out of trauma, a feeling of helplessness (the system was broken, and so was Geto at that point), and anger— Gojo dedicated himself to saving the youth by teaching them to become strong enough to save themselves by creating change that he couldn’t do by himself (without killing all the non sorcerers). Jujutsu Kaisen is a story that takes place during a time of war and change. Gojo, while ultimately a King with the power of a Queen piece, was still a pawn on the chessboard, seen and used as a weapon on the board of Jujutsu Society, in a war of sorcerers vs curses.
NOTE: This is an incomplete, disorganized analysis, and by no means a proper essay. I will rewrite it when I read JJK front to back and sit with the story for a bit. NTS: power and strength, and what it takes (self experience) + allows for, is not focused on nearly enough in this analysis
NOTE 2: I WELCOME discussion! Have something more to say? Disagree with a point I’ve made? Comment below, but please try to do so with the same or higher level of thought and consideration I’ve put into my post. I am not here to argue, rather, I’m here to chat and hear what others think and why, and hopefully learn a thing or two, so long as you’re not preaching while blatantly mischaracterizing or being hostile/rude/cruel, as such remarks will only get you the idiot hat for the day.

I think the reason why Ivankov is such a character to me is because these type of characters to me, only exist in fanfiction.
Someone that can literally change your/anyones body? Yeah that some fanfiction type bullshit.
So to have a litreally fruit that explicitly does that and not poke fun at it??? Like its supposed to be a gag but it's not written thay way??? Appalling. Ivankov themself was like important to the story aswell.
Ivankov you're an icon, you can do no wrong fr fr
how do ya’ll feel about a Death Family animatic but it’s the intro to Lion King 2 including the song?
listening to Bleach OST is giving me so many ansty & badass scenes for Phil (for obvious reasons) but also for everyone else. Like right now, I’m listening to the first season opening song and imaging an Bleach-style anime opening for QSMP with all the 2000s core designs and cutaways and transitions.
Also, why is no one talking about the fact that Purgatory is basically Heuco Mundo and Bolas Rojas were basically turning Hollow w/ Phil being their Vasto Lorde leader? Where’s the fan art for that? C’mon!
Suffering from burnout while working on an essay about burnout is the type of dramatic irony I want in my life.
"I don't want to date someone, I want to find someone to flirt with everyday without any consequences~"
The jealousy of other people's skills, the weight of insurmountable expectations, the fear of not achieving and the limitless procrastination keeps me from doing anything.
The fact there's someone out there working hours after midnight and into the lazy afternoons. The fact there's people who run in the rain to reach a destination. The fact there's people who have someone they think of when they sleep or someone that makes them feel alive. The fact there's someone who works harder than you ever could. The fact there's someone who is way better at what you do without any extra effort. The fact.....you will never be what you want to be in life.
I wish I didn't care about anything. To live a life with no destinations, a path where I don't know to what it is leading to. I want to be a no thoughts; head empty kind of person. I want to have no interests in life or so many interests that the failure of a particular thing doesn't bother me, that I can move on freely from one thing to other without regrets. A life of no assumptions, regrets, resolutions, promises, expectations. A life that's full of colour and light, where I walk as if no one else is watching, talk as if none of my words matter, eat as if there's no effect of the food on my body, sleep as if I can be in an endless slumber.
If you don't have to think or care about anything, you can live a life of a nobody. Your actions won't matter and that's okay, actions make past or future but you would always live in the present.
I am that friend who walks behind everyone when the path becomes too narrow for four people.
I don't want a boyfriend (not yet; I am not emotionally mature enough to have one), I just want a guy I can drag around to everywhere I go without either of us getting romantic feelings.
Just pals being pals
I feel as if there's nothing to look forward to and I am feeling this after my high school ended.......WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH ME.
My problem is saying I don't give a shit about what anyone says and yet seeking validation from them.
Me at 13: ugh all these girls are soooo drama, I am different. I don't even wear pink and listen to pop songs. I guess I am 'not like the other girls'.
*cringe*
Me at 17: loves pink, doesn't like jeans and wears dresses and skirts, watches chick flicks, listens to mainstream pop, worships Taylor Swift, waits for the MET gala every year, loves gossip, watches Chanel, Dior, Balenciaga fashion shows, watches video essays on celebrity culture and media, follows fashion historians, hates sports, hates video games, hates most "boyish" activities and wishes I was in a Jane Austen novel or a Nicolas Sparks movie.
Me: I guess I am the other girls I used to talk about
"What do you wanna do when you grow up?" Asked the relative for the 100th time.
