i feel like this is very me issue, but i hate hate HATE when the reader in x reader fanfics is just… stupid?? like, yeah i’m stupid too but not to the point where i’ll let anyone talk their shit at me or do whatever they feel like and get away with it (especially in smuts omfg)… does that make any sense???
like… i want a headstrong and stubborn reader (never back down never what?) and i can never find those man 😭 i know i don’t have to read them and whatever but still!! it drives me up the wall dude it’s insane…
esp when i’m in the middle of reading good fanfic or smut and its like noooo don’t fucking do thatttt
anyway silly rant over i’m gonna go fishing for some gojo fics lawl
So Gege complained about Gojo being too powerful and hard to write around so he offed him like that and now he’s gone and made Sukuna even more powerful??? Make it make sense.
Idk hopefully Gege will bring out something truly extraordinary, but I’m not holding out too much hope for that.
earlier in the episode/chapter we hear toji explain satoru’s technique. to put it plainly: blue=pulls in, red=repels. taking that into account, it seems to me like this scene perfectly captures the way suguru and satoru cope with their loss of innocence
suguru begins to internalize arising problems to the point that they eat away at him from the inside, while satoru strongly fixates on creating a distance between himself and the world. it’s all very smart storytelling from the animators
ppl talk a lot of his ascension after this and not enough about the sheer trauma of being slaughtered. it lead satoru to obsess over perfecting his technique, and not take notice of what was going on with suguru. he was in his head so much that he couldn’t see the distance growing between them. he, like suguru, was deeply affected by his failures
