blue submarine no. 6 (1998-2000)

geto, gojo and the sun ☼

it’s pretty well established that geto and gojo are the suns of each other’s worlds. we know, and are reminded regularly, that the sun is a consistent motif in their relationship. despite this, the metaphor actually runs much deeper than what we see on the surface.

geto associates gojo with the rising sun. in the opening sequence, all of his moments with gojo are dappled with streaks of sunlight. when they’re on the bike, when they’re walking through jujutsu tech, when they’re poking each other’s faces or getting stuff from the vending machine— it’s all so bright.

for geto, gojo is the rising sun that parts his clouds, literally exemplified in the ending sequence when geto is impatiently waiting for gojo in the rain. not only does gojo bring an umbrella, (which he himself doesn’t need) after he picks up geto, they walk together into the sunlight. like a cloudy night, geto waits for the sun to return every morning.

contrarily, gojo associates geto with the setting sun. when they break up in front of the KFC, the sun is setting around them. gojo’s eyes, which usually shine so brightly in the sunlight, are dampened by the waning rays of the sun. in gojo’s memory of the breakup, there’s no sun at all— it’s completely grey.

for gojo, geto is like the setting sun in that no matter how far he extends his hand, he’ll never reach him (as mentioned in the light novel). gojo can only watch as geto slips into the horizon, bidding him farewell at every dusk as he takes all the light with him, leaving gojo alone in the night.

when gojo meets geto at the end of his life, the sun has almost completely set. as he’s dying, geto is illuminating the vestiges of the last sunny day gojo will ever have. the sun sets for the last time, and geto slips through his hands even as gojo uses them to kill him.

what’s interesting here is that both of them associate each other with the same thing. geto is the center of gojo’s universe, and vice versa. the setting sun becomes the rising sun— they're an ouroboros, cycling through day and night as one.

suns are also solitary creatures, doomed to be alone whilst being the most powerful thing in the universe. we need the sun to survive, but we can’t get too close or we’ll die. we can only admire the sun from afar, basking in its rays on the condition that we can never openly embrace its warmth.

i'm reminded of a tolstoy quote that speaks to the nature of the sun as a literary motif:

"he stepped down, trying not to look long at her, as if she were the sun, yet he saw her, like the sun, even without looking."

the sun is always around us, even if we can’t see it directly. geto and gojo may be apart, hidden by clouds or the horizon, but like the sun, they remain at the center of each other’s worlds— steadfast, ever-present and never waning.

This is being worked on! Well, was and will be.

I was working on it a couple months ago and making great progress with the chapters 1-3 re-vamp and then I moved and then I downloaded that one game that’s very popular right now… so it’s been a while since I’ve written. These next two months are going to be busy for me again but who knows what’ll happen.

So that is my update and happy to hear people are still interested in this little story ❤️

"For soon, it (the sun) will be gone. And with it, the part of me that knew its warmth as well. I shall miss it." ~Adar, Rings of Power

You'd think with as many times as I've rewatched RoP and seen this entire sequence, that Adar would stop punching me in the feels with this line. But...apparently not.

The guy is ruining me. Send help?

I finally had enough time to draw and definitely didn’t make time-

I had a dark blue sharpie so of course I drew a Luke.

MOLLIE IS A NURSE JOY I FUCKING KNEW IT.

Her backstory of leaving her job at the Pokémon center because not all Pokémon can even make it there absolutely stabbed me in the heart that’s just hsdfgjk no words only feels. Also that she’s willing to stand her ground against a massive and very angry Arboliva for the little Wooper is just- BABY GIRL. I adore how she’s tough as nails and a bit standoffish but absolutely has a heart of gold under that, she’s so precious. I will now proceed to squee over her fist bump with Arboliva for the next week AT LEAST.

no matter how much i grow and mature as a person i will never get over the work of art that is His Curse Of Binding and the fact that the author saw my deranged rants about it and still followed me back

An afternoon at Windenburg pool.

I don't really do Halloween, but I was thinking today that I wanted to share this little bit, so why not?

“I mean, I never spent that much time at the women’s temples, so I don’t really know…” The water tribe siblings are staring at him as if he’s just announced that he’s actually a 400-foot tall platypus bear with pink horns and silver wings. “Women’s temples?” They yelp in unison. “Well, yeah,” Aang says. “The monks lived in the Northern and Southern Temples, and the nuns lived in the Eastern and Western ones. That’s why they’re at a lower elevation than the men’s temples.” “What does the elevation have to do with it?” Katara’s brother asks. “Well, I assume some of these nuns were pregnant, weren’t they?” Suki says. “It’s not a good idea for pregnant women to spend too much time at such high altitudes.” “Exactly!” Aang says, clearly excited to share his culture with them. “In fact, the last Air Nomad Avatar, Yangchen, was born and raised right here in the Western Temple.” “Where were you born, Twinkletoes?” Toph asks. “Uh… I don’t know.” The Avatar shrugs. “I mean, I’m sure one of the monks told me at some point, but I can’t really remember.” Katara seems shocked, while her brother remains fixed on one particular point. “You left your women undefended?”
