#can’t get yuuji to call him by his actual name; has to suffer from his own kid calling him his government name
miekasa · 2 years
Note
gojo’s son calling everyone baby is adorable, but i am also interested in the opposite concept you mentioned of levi/nanami’s kid calling them by their first names 😅
HHHHHH HELP 😭😭 no because tell me it wouldn’t happen to them. All the gentle parenting in the world, kids are spoiled with affection, but extremely compassionate and well-mannered and the only catch is their four year old looking them dead in the eye and call them by their first name 😭
You keep telling Kento that it’s a phase, that your daughter is just experimenting and probably getting used to the fact that her daddy has a name other than daddy, but it doesn’t make him any less exasperated. Your son never calls him by his first name, so why must his sweet, baby girl torture him so. You have to resist laughing when he comes home from a hard day of work, and gets hugs from your children; your son squeezing him extra tight, before rambling on about his day, and then your daughter, running into her father’s arms, only to happily squeal, “Hi, Ken!!”
He doesn’t get why it’s only him—she never calls you by your first name—but he’s being patient 😭😭 the exasperation in his expression only worsens to hear from Gojo that his two year old calls him “baby,” and Kento is stuck with the world’s most determined four-year-old calling him by his government name. (It does fade away, eventually. She goes back to calling him daddy after some time, and when he dares to ask why, his daughter only shrugs telling him that her brother told her “Daddy” was his real name.Kento would have to pack his son an extra treat for the next week of lunch).
Levi gets something… similar. His kid sits down square in his lap one day and asks him directly, “What’s your real name?” Levi leans forward, his nose brushing against hers to play along, “Depends. Who’s asking?” “Me, daddy!” When he does finally tell her, he doesn’t get much of a response; he laughs internally, he supposes “Levi” wasn’t all that much of an interesting answer when she trots away to her bookshelf afterwards. Soon, though, you and Levi come to learn that your daughter doesn’t like other people addressing him as “her daddy,” and vice versa, is quick to correct you when you call him Levi instead of “daddy” in front of her.
When you’re talking to her through the rear view mirror, accidentally saying Levi’s name in conversation, the toddler is quick to perk up, “Daddy’s picking me up today?” You pause, looking back through the mirror to her determined little pout, as if she’s testing you; and you do your best to conceal your laughter—because she’s truly her father’s child—before you nod, “Yes, daddy’s gonna pick you up today, my love.” Erwin finds this out the hard way, when he’s left to watch the small girl and is telling her about their dinner plans, “Your dad left his card, so we can—” “His name is Levi.” Erwin is stunned to say the least, and he’ll never admit it out loud but he’s a little… scared to argue with the toddler, only nodding before correcting himself, “Right, Levi left his card, so we can order pizza for dinner, if you want.”

[𝙎𝙪𝙞𝙘𝙞𝙙𝙖𝙡 𝙈𝙖𝙣𝙞𝙖𝙘] (005)
Tumblr media
"𝙉𝙤 𝙩𝙝𝙖𝙩'𝙨 𝙞𝙢𝙥𝙤𝙨𝙨𝙞𝙗𝙡𝙚."
Fushiguro stated. While still cool on the outside, internally Megumi was pleading with himself that it wasn't true. Gojo sighed. "It's starting to look like a possibility." "Why are the Elders here though?" The raven head questioned. "The council are making preparations." Masamichi stepped in. "They're already assuming the worst?!" Megumi snapped. "He's still alive! He's still-!" A hand made a stop motion.
"I think you should leave the matter with us. You and Kugisaki need rest. We'll have Shoko look at your wounds later, for now rest." Masamichi held a commanding tone, although gently said. Fushiguro hesitantly nodded before picking up his peer, and started his way towards the dorms. 'M/n is not dead right? He'll make it-.' 
Once more his train of thought was interrupted by the faint yell from the infirmary. "He's crashing! The internal hemorrhaging won't..." The rest became muffled, when the sound of a door slamming shut echoed the empty hallways. 'Please stay alive, I can't lose you too.'
Timeskip
Report:
900 hours. Due to prior events from the day passed; both first year student: Itadori Yuuji, and second year student: L/n M/n (also special grade Jujutsu sorcerer) of Jujutsu tech university have been pronounced dead. "I can't help to think that it was my fault." The snowy haired sorcerer chuckled bitterly. A hand was curled into his hair, as his fingers tugged at the strands. "It couldn't have been. Those incompetent fools are." Nanami reassured from across the male. 
The two were seated across from each other in an empty room. Only two couches sat idly in the center. "The fact that the council is filled to the brim of cowardly heathens, has already been established. But hey, what can we expect." Gojo sarcastically answered. "Shouldn't both of us be experts in this?" Nanami held a stoic stature. 
"We all knew what we were getting into. Death was just another thing apart of the list of risks." Kento spoke. It wasn't a lie, the two had suffered such losses and learned what the consequences truly were. 
"It was inevitable." The word itself, pissed off Gojo to no end. Inevitable. Such a pathetic word, made by mortal chains who were paranoid of life. It always made him feel small; the word reminded him of how helpless he truly was during situations like this. 
It angered him, heck, he was livid in fury. But the more he tried to refuse reality, the more times he ran into the same wall. Helplessness.
Timeskip 
"Sukuna's host?" Shoko pointed towards the table, Itadori laid. "And...L/n." She lead the sentence on. Caressing the second-year's face, she clicked her tongue. "Anyways, I can dissect him however I want, right?" She asked referring to Itadori.
"Just make use of him." Gojo asked. "Of course I will. Who do you think you're talking too?"
"..."
"And we have direct instructions from the council for L/n. Those old farts aren't any fun. I was kind of curious of what was inside of that pretty little head of his."
With Fushiguro and Nobara
"He told us to "live long", but all your problems vanish when you you die. Was he your first comrade you've lost?" Nobara asked. Currently the two were sat on the steps of the entrance. "He was the first classmate." 
"Hmmph you seem oddly fine. After all that second-year died too." "I could say the same for you." Megumi shot back. "Well I only knew them for about two weeks. I'm not such a soft woman...that would cry over the death of people like them." The female's voice cracked, as her lip quivered.
"It's so hot though." Kugisaki complained, changing from the depressing topic. "Yeah, I wonder when we'll get our summer clothes." 
"What the hell? You're more depressing then ever.." Nobara sneered. "Megumi!" A voice interrupted. "Is this a wake?"
"Zenin-senpai."
"Don't call me by my family name. Maki. Maki!" Maki sounded out her name. Suddenly murmuring from behind a tree caught the three's attention. "He really did die too. Yesterday too! Another boy in first-year."
A tick mark formed, as Maki started to sweat. "Say it earlier! I'll seem like a cold-heartless devil!"
Panda and Inumaki stepped out from their 'hiding' spot. "Actually that's exactly what you are, you know?!" Panda yelled back.
"Tuna-Mayo." 
"Who are they?" Nobara pointed towards the three strangers. "They're out second-year senpais. Zenin-senpai, she's the best at handling charms out of us students. Inumaki-senpai is a specialist in spells. His only vocabulary is onigiri ingredients. And panda. 
There's another, Okkotsu-senpai. Along L/n-senpai, they were the only ones I could openly respect. He's overseas right now." Megumi explained. 'I wonder how Okkotsu's taking it. If he even knows yet. He and L/n-senpai were close.' "Are you just going to leave the panda's introduction at "Panda?" Kugisaki cut off Fushiguro's thoughts. "Oh sorry guys you're also still in mourning too." Panda bowed.
"We know how you must be feeling right now. We both lost L/n and Itadori. L/n was like family." Maki reassured. A small frown though lingering. "Mustard leaves-bonito flakes." 
"Through the grief though, we want you guys to attend the Kyoto sister exchange." Panda finished.
"What's that?"
With Gojo
"You know, I have a pretty shitty personality, Don't I?" Gojo asked from his slumped position. "I know." Ijichi sighed.
"I'll seriously slap you later, Ijichi." The threat caused a shiver to go down the male's spine.
"Why would someone like me, someone who doesn't have characteristics of a teacher, take a teaching job at a technical college? Ask me." "Why is that." Ijichi shookenly asked. "Because I have a dream."
"A dream you say?" Gojo leaned back in his seat.
"Yeah, as you know from what happened to M/n and Yuuji, the establishment is the den of evilness in the world of sorcery. It doesn't take much brain power to know that the council of elders are a council of fools, and idiots. 
It's a bargain sale for rotten oranges. I'll hit reset on the shithole that the world of sorcery is. I could easily kill those at the top, but they would simply be replaced, and no one would follow someone who'd kill the higher-ups. That's why I chose education. To raise strong and clever comrades. That's why sometimes I dump my missions on my students."
Ijichi gave an unimpressed look. "Not because you wanted to skip out of them?" "They're all extraordinary. Especially that third-year, Hakari and second-year, Okkotsu. They'll become shamen who could even rival me." Gojo's fist clenched as he glared at the table in front of him.
"Yuuji was one of them." Through gritted teeth,  his glare downcasted. "M/n...was the only one who could surpass me."  
"I'm going to start now." Shoko pulled on a pair of rubber gloves. Ijichi started shaking in fear as he pointed behind the female. "Huh, what's wrong." "G-G-Gojo." An amused smirk formed as he saw behind her. Itadori was sitting up with a mildly confused expression. 
"Woah, where's my clothes?!" Itadori exclaimed glancing downwards. "H-H-He H-H-He's a-a-alive!" 
"Don't be so noisy Ijichi."
Shoko pulled her mask down a disappointing look sent to Itadori. "That's a shame." 
An awkward silence befell. "Ummm this is embarrassing." The pink head nervously scratched his neck. 
"Welcome back." Gojo placed his hand out. "Yo! I'm back!" Itadori slapped the outstretched hand. "Good to see you're alive." "It's good to be back. Can I get some clothes though?" Gojo and Shoko nodded at each other before heading out of the room. "We'll be back."
When the two left, Itadori started grabbing the garments from a bag. While changing, his eyes caught an oddly familiar tuft of  (h/c) colored hair from next to him. 'That's impossible.' Tugging his shirt on, he inspected further. Pushing back the cloth covering the body, Yuuji's eyes widened in realization. 'No!' "I-Ijichi w-who's this?" He asked pointing towards the male. "That's L/n. He was a second-year here." 
From the confirmation of his identity, a feeling of grief and sadness started to form at the pit of his stomach. Tracing along the scars that littered his neck. A worried frown formed. 'What happened to you?' 
Although, inside him, where Sukuna sat, the king of curse's 'throne' stood empty. Sukuna watched in horror as Itadori had pulled the sheet back. Something continued to eat away at him. He couldn't die again right? He just saw him again. He never told him of the past. 
The same sick feeling filled Sukuna as felt as though he was going to puke. "Not again!" His anguish screams filled the domain, as he threw, and broke numerous skulls that had made up the pile.
"Not again please." Sukuna faintly pleaded, as his kimono and hair dripped with water. Back on the outside Itadori had clenched his nails into his fist. Small droplets of blood seeped from his grasp.
"Why'd you have to go and die already?"
M/n POV
The coldness was the first thing I felt when I woke up. While the breeze was soft, the coldness of it all was unforgiving. It was all to familiar though. That day... 
"RUN M/N! DONT LOOK BACK!" 
It hurts. Stop.
"Your whole clan is pathetic~"
Stop please. It hurts.
"What are you going to do? You're too weak."
A pain filled scream echoed throughout the darkness, one I could only assume as my own. "What do you want? Please stop!"
"You killed us! It's your fault!" 
The voices bounced off the walls from every angle. "What do you want from me?" I cried out. 
The echoing voices seem to pause. Silence. A singular figure started to emerge from the snowy ground.
"You're not real. You died 10 years ago." My feet moved, as I started backpedaling. The figure, a woman. A yellow kimono dressed her body. Long (h/c) hair framing her chest, and face. (E/c) orbs which seemed so foreign. "I'm here my love. You're here with me." She reached out a palm towards my face, the only reaction was a flinch which was returned.
"It's me n/n. I'm back." Her soft tone felt deceiving as she stuck out her arms towards me. "It's been so long." Shaking my head, I refused to accept. "You're dead, stop this. Please." Fingers started to tug and pull the messy strands of hair. 
"M/n, please." Warmth filled my core, as I was pulled into an embrace. My legs wobbled as we both fell to the floor. Sobs started racking my form as the woman, I've only known as my mother held me in her arms. "M-Mom? Why'd you leave me? I-I'm s-sorry, I was t-too weak-!" 
"Hey, shhhh...It's okay. You did everything you could. It's not your fault at all sweety." Coming face to face with her, her thumbs wiped my eyes. "You're the strongest person I know M/n."
"Y-You left though! Y-You l-left and I d-d.." Words started getting choked up as a lump formed in my throat. "And that's one of the biggest burdens and regrets I have to carry." She spoke calmly pushing back a strand of hair. 
"You've done so many good things and helped people in need. I've been with you ever since I passed. To think, my own son was such charmer though." She quirked a brow teasingly in hopes of lifting the mood. A small chuckle escaped. "I missed you." A bittersweet sigh left her parted lips before a smile graced her features. 
"As have I." A comforting silence filled the void as we sat in each other's embrace. "M/n, although I despise it with all of my heart, you can't stay." Eyes widened, I pushed her body back.
"What do you mean? I just got here?" A frantic expression slowly forming. 
"M/n..."
"I just got you back! You can't leave!" She once more stuck out her hand stroking my cheek. "M/n, you are the strongest person I've known my entire life. You've saved hundreds if not thousands. And you have people who love you back there! If you stay, you'll break their hearts." A shaky breath left, as tears started to fall again. 
"I know. I'm so selfish! But I can't find the heart to see you leave again."  Pushing my head into the crook of her neck. "You have too. You still have so many first's you have to fill though. Get married, live your life. It's not your time yet. I'll be with you every step of the way." She smiled, kissing my forehead. 
"I love you M/n." 
"I love you too." Her figure started to fade into small cherry blossoms. "It's time to wake up M/n~" With that, she disappeared entirely. A bittersweet smile managed to appear. Collapsing into the snow, I let the coldness finally envelope me as my eyes shut closed.
'It's time to wake up.'

㊙️Secret facts㊙️, or Things the JJK sorcerers would rather die than tell anyone (*ノ▽ノ)
Headcanons, crack edition, of our favourite sorcerers! (partly in homage to @snk-headcanons)
Some extensive contextual references to both the anime and manga ahead ~
----
Itadori Yuuji
Itadori has had a six pack since elementary school. He has also remained at the bottom of his cohort for academic grades since elementary school. Itadori isn’t actually good at cooking; meatballs are his only specialty. His wardrobe only contains hoodies. Itadori really ate his boogers as a kid. Itadori is so bad at reading cursed energy he still can’t tell the difference between a curse and a sorcerer. Nanami once asked him if he considered therapy. Itadori’s favourite mode of transport is Fushiguro’s demon dogs. On some days, Itadori thinks Fushiguro looks better than Jennifer Lawrence. 
Megumi Fushiguro
Fushiguro once tried to pick up smoking in middle school. He gave up because he was irritated at how popular it became amongst his schoolmates when he did. He has a drawer full of un-replied confession letters. Fushiguro can’t sleep without a bolster (he gets touchy in his sleep). Fushiguro cuts his own hair. His go-to drink is strawberry milk. Fushiguro is so unused to smiling he practices in front of his room mirror before giving up. In reality, when he’s genuinely happy his eyelashes grow by 3 centimeters. On some days, Fushiguro admits that Itadori is the person he will always count on to save him.  
Nobara Kugisaki
Nobara likes to dress up in her room and pretend to be a cover girl or fashion model. She once found Inumaki-senpai attractive. But this was probably because he was quiet. Nobara actually got lost in Harajuku station before meeting Itadori and Fushiguro for the first time. Nobara only processes emotions by yelling. Nobara does not feel pain. Ever since arriving in Tokyo, she has been scouted for several television shows. They were all makeover specials. Nobara has a personal grudge against the mirror in Shibuya’s UNIQLO store. She has a private photo folder in her phone dedicated to snaps of city lights, skyscrapers and Maki.  
Inumaki Toge
Inumaki likes to visit convenience stores to look for new onigiri flavours. He assigns expletives to a different flavour every week, and enjoys swearing at others without them realizing. His uniform collar serves a dual purpose of concealment when he sticks his tongue out at people he doesn’t like. Inumaki likes flirting. Inumaki secretly stocks up Yuta-senpai’s favourite snacks just before he returns from missions. Inumaki longs to be kissed (on his beautiful, cursed mouth). He keeps a written diary of things people say to him and and things he would like to say back to them. Inumaki’s favourite verb is “susumu” (keep going). 
Panda
Panda is intrigued by meat, particularly fried chicken, even if they cannot eat it. Panda does not like cooked vegetables. Panda gets PR packages from apparel and household brands with panda designs; they do monthly unboxing videos for over a million subscribers. Panda’s favourite tv shows are Oprah and Japanese crime dramas. Panda reads religious texts on Shintoism in their free time. Panda’s third core is a koala. 
Maki Zenin
Maki once lost her glasses at a party and almost burned down an entire restaurant to look for it. Maki does not like spicy food because it makes her blush. Maki giggles at memes. She has timed crying breaks in the bathroom. Maki secretly names her cursed tools after her favourite celebrities. Maki always buys herself two birthday cake slices. 
Aoi Todo 
Todo drinks protein shakes more often than he would like to admit. He has never won Maki in an arm wrestling match. Todo’s IQ fluctuates between 80 and 155. He has only been part of Takada-chan’s fan club for 6 months. 80% of Todo’s memory is fabricated fantasy. Todo’s teary face has made both children and grown men cry, out of fear. His dream is to open a pancake house. 
Ijichi Kiyotaka
Despite his looks, Ijichi is skilled in Jujitsu and Aikido. He pre-orders extra sets of Itadori’s uniform every month. He has at least 3 Fast and Furious movie posters in his bedroom. He likes to daydream about being part of an A-list sorcerer team with Nanami, with Gojo as his personal chauffeur. Ijichi keeps a treat money jar for every time he feels slighted or overly stressed at work. To date, he has used the jar to visit 3 Michelin-star restaurants. 
Geto Suguru 
Geto developed a sweet tooth after enrolling in Jujutsu High. His first kiss was stolen by Gojo in a supply closet when they were both sixteen (the latter did it for fun). Geto was once dared to shave off all his hair and had to stifle a sob at the thought. Geto’s non-sorcerer disinfectant spray is coincidentally a rose-scented line of luxury cologne called Infinite Love. On a bad day, Geto finds himself indulging in dessert. 
Gojo Satoru
Mostly shameless, Gojo feels the most self-conscious with his eyes uncovered. Gojo gets turned on by an exquisite pair of sunglasses. Gojo doesn’t like drinking alcohol. Gojo once injected sugar into his blood, partly in jest, partly because he was curious. Gojo reads critical theory. Gojo uses SK-II facial treatment essence. Gojo likes reading fanfiction written about him. He keeps a scrapbook for deliberately ugly doodles of Jujutsu society’s higher ups. He is the owner of tabloid news twitter account @jujutsushits. He is also the owner of twitter account @RealNanamiKento. When he has a bad day, Gojo scrolls through old, defunct chats between him and Geto.  
Nanami Kento
Nanami has never suffered from hair loss problems. He earned a university degree after leaving Jujutsu High, where he majored in economics and minored in comparative literature. Nanami freelanced as a poet-writer for 2 months. He is so respectable in jujutsu society that he once sold (more like auctioned) his pair of men’s leather shoes for 500,000 JPY. The buyers were all women. He has a drawer of XXL condoms. He did not buy them (Gojo did). He keeps a slogan t shirt that reads ‘Hot Stuff’. He did not buy it (Haibara did). Nanami is fluent in 5 languages. Nanami’s hobbies are ironing his blue dress shirt and getting into existential crises. Nanami has an excel sheet detailing his weekly expenses titled ‘letsgetthisbread.exe.’ When embarrassed, Nanami is prone to hiccups.
Ryomen Sukuna
Sukuna has a personal list of ‘Top 10 Sukuna Badass Moments’ playing on loop in his head. He sings when Itadori is in the shower to spite him, but mostly because he likes the sound of his own voice. Sukuna has a bad memory, having been alive for more than a thousand years. Sukuna hates contemporary fashion, but has a fascination for Crocs. He prefers jazz to imperial court music. Sukuna delivers lengthy, oftentimes ultraviolent monologues to Itadori when he is bored. He thinks he would make a good university professor. Sukuna is still terrified of motorised vehicles.

The Subtlety of Inumaki Toge
We've pretty much learned about most of the backgrounds of the Jujustu High students that we've been introduced to, even if it was just a cursory glance at their motivations and personality. Each character has had a backstory or struggle explicitly stated in some way, and they’ve all had a form of internal and external development. 
But the one we've learned the least about, despite his presence since Vol 0 and his increased significance in this arc, is Inumaki Toge.
Tumblr media
When Inumaki is first introduced, it’s as a seemingly stoic character, a mysterious guy who only speaks in riceball ingredients. He covers the bottom half of his mouth to avoid getting stared at for his markings and overall, doesn’t really seem to like standing out, giving the feeling of a background character. It isn’t until we get his introductory chapter in Volume 0 that we learn a little about his character. 
Tumblr media
A cursed technique that manifests at birth, forever limiting his speech so that he can’t fully express himself verbally. This is different from the concept of cursed techniques overall, since from Megumi’s story we learn that they manifest at around age 5. 
And right from the get-go, we learn that because of his cursed technique, he’s struggled, making him a foil of Yuuta, someone who’s relationships and perception of themselves are affected by their cursed energy. Both Yuuta and, as Panda seems to imply, Toge, have directly affected the people around them with their cursed energy, causing harm to the people around them. And the way they deal with it is not so different. 
Yuuta tries to isolate himself from others most of his life and, while he doesn’t seclude himself, Toge prevents the chance of accidentally cursing someone by limiting his speech, isolating himself while still being in the proximity of others. Both of them recognize this in each other and they become protective, becoming close friends.
Tumblr media
But.... Toge doesn’t really seem to be affected by this setback. He still makes friends easily and it seems like he has a pretty playful personality. 
Now let me clarify something here. It’s not odd that we only learn about Inumaki’s character after learning his backstory. That happens sometimes in media. But that doesn’t really happen in Jujutsu. We get a vivid sense of personality from each character upon their introduction. Maki is tough is standoffish. Gojo is playful and friendly. Megumi is impatient and focused. Just about every character’s personality is revealed upon their first introduction. But for Inumaki, that’s not the case.
Everything we learn about Inumaki is a second hand account. We learn from Panda about his cursed technique. We learn from Megumi and Gojo about his speaking patterns. And we learn from Momo and Kamo about how to defend yourself from his cursed speech. But none of this comes directly from him. We haven’t even so much as received a thought bubble from him. This guy’s entire character is just assumptions we gather from other people.
Tumblr media
As a side note, it’d be interesting to learn about how they knew about this. I wonder if his cursed speech also has affect in written language, although I doubt it. But what if the characters all learned about this from someone else? What if what we’re hearing from Panda and Megumi is not even a second-hand account but a third-hand account? A fourth?
This is a good segment into the next part of this meta! Let’s move on to his cursed technique!
Tumblr media
His cursed technique makes quite a bit of people nervous. It’s often remarked how Inumaki is a descendent of the “Inumaki Clan,” some other clan that’s not one of the Big Three. But we don’t really get much more about it than that. It implies that it’s a pretty old clan with a pretty old technique and a pretty old history. 
That’s it. Implications. But that’s also the interesting part, I think. All this talk about his lineage and his technique, without actually revealing anything about him, is setting him up for something greater. A more meaningful and impactful part of the story than just a side character.
***before I continue, I’d like to clarify that I will be referring to the story of Adam and Eve and Crowley through a purely literary lense and do not intend to make any religious commentary. If I offend anyone or cause discomfort, I am truly sorry and do not intend to cause anyone any harm. I will try my hardest to avoid making assumptions but if I do, please feel free to tell me.***
His cursed technique and the imagery of its name "Snake and Fangs" brings to mind the story of how Adam and Eve were sent to live on Earth, with Crowley suggesting to Adam and Eve to take a bite of the forbidden fruit. Where Crowley whispered suggestions, tempting them to take a bite, Inumaki also uses words to inflict damage, albiet in a much more physical way. 
But the difference is that Inumaki’s a human using words against curses to protect people. He’s basically the anti-thesis of the imagery his cursed technique brings up. His entire character, even more-so than Yuuji, Megumi, and Yuuta, is about saving people. It’s known that oftentimes when there are a large number of civilians in the area, Toge is called to help protect and keep them safe. He’s accomplished Yuuji’s entire life goal without sweating about it. He’s directly helped the most amount of people, from what we can tell. 
Where the other characters help the people they have a connection to, Toge helps people he doesn’t know and probably will never know. Which may also be a reason why we haven’t learned much about him, narratively speaking. 
Yuuji’s central question is “how can I help people without hurting anyone?” And the thing is, Toge might have an answer to that. Toge always has the possibility of hurting others. So he limits his speech. But he also has the possibility of helping so many people. So he’s careful of the words he says when he says them. Even when he told Megumi and Kamo to escape from Hanami, he seemed to hesitate in how he told them.
Tumblr media
Inumaki’s entire personality is the opposite of what we assume the “mysterious side character with dangerous powers who rarely speaks” trope should be. He’s a well mannered kid who speaks in his own way and wants to make connections with others. He’s suffered as a result of his technique but that doesn’t affect him in his present. He’s a character who realizes that the past is the past and the present is the present.
Every single action he makes affects our perception of him purely because that’s the only way we know what type of person he is. We don’t really get much more of what he does on screen other than the events and consequences. But that could be a set up for something grander to come later on. If Yuuji and Inumaki had talked and had a heart to heart earlier in the series, I doubt Yuuji would be in a downwards spiral right now. Inumaki is a big picture character who also wants to help the majority, but recognizes his limitations and also makes efforts to protect the minority, in this case the Jujustu students. 
Inumaki is a wonderfully subtle character with hidden wisdom that feels like it’ll come to light in this arc as Yuuji and Yuuta finally confront each other.

the dream that wakes you up by rarepairenabler
Relationship: Kuroo Tetsurou/Oikawa Tooru
Words: 38,277 | Chapters: 9/9
Oikawa’s offering a repeat performance of that night, the night that Kuroo’s been replaying in his mind ever since it happened. Fuck.
“You’re not that good,” Kuroo argues weakly but Oikawa looks like he knows he’s already won.
“I am that good.” There isn't a single trace of doubt to it. His confidence would be nauseating if Kuroo didn’t know firsthand that there was good reason for it. Oikawa laughs and outstretches his hand to Kuroo. “So what do you say, Kuroo? Do we have a deal?”
Kuroo sighs before offering a resigned grin. He takes Oikawa’s hand and shakes it firmly. “When do we get started?”

Impulse by Metis_Ink
Relationship: Shirabu Kenjirou/Semi Eita
Words: 15,075 | Chapters: 1/1
Semi’s not sure how subtle the team is trying to be, but there must be some ungodly conspiracy pointed against him. It’s working in the sense that Semi is half aware that maybe this rivalry with Shirabu is a lot more troublesome than it seems, but really, that’s all he's getting.

Second year Semi Eita faces the downward spiral that is his life following the arrival of some first year setter who's way too cocky for his own good.

Shirabu howls in pain as he regards both Tendou and Goshiki with his lethal stare that could probably outmatch Medusa. “Are you both fucking thick?” He asks incredulously, not expecting an actual answer.

“I’m Tsukishima Kei, from the Athena cabin.”
Kuroo blinked at him a few times, before cautiously taking Tsukishima’s pale, slender hand into his own much larger, much broader and tanner hand. He had scars and callouses that didn’t come from games of capture the flag.
“Kuroo.”
He didn’t say who his parent was.
or, Tsukishima had seen everything there was to see at Camp Half Blood. That is, until Kuroo Tetsurou fell out of the sky.
The Star-Crossed Voyage by Stacysmash

hachiko by owlinaminor

Words: 213,084 | Chapters: 41/41 | Warning: Mature Content
“If you can’t stand the heat, get out of the kitchen,” is a popular saying… heat, however, is the least dangerous thing one should worry about in a kitchen. Between the fire, sharp utensils, red hot pans, the Mandolin God, and lunatic co-workers, Kuroo has his work cut out for him when he returns home from Paris after nine years to open his own restaurant. He’s determined to show off — ahem, to demonstrate all that he’s learned at the helm of world renowned chefs in Michelin Star kitchens.
Bokuto Koutarou tends to have more passion than sense. He joins Kuroo’s brigade on a whim after nearly slicing his hand off… and realizes just how much knowledge he’s actually lacking. He’s worked in kitchens his entire life, but none like Kuroo’s kitchen so, with excitement and trepidation, he throws himself into his work with Kuroo. And when he meets a lovely model named Akaashi, he decides to use his new found knowledge to help Akaashi fall in love with him. After all, the fastest way to a man’s heart is his stomach — right?

Atsumu didn’t really know when it all started, he just knew he was different. The urges-- They drove him. And did the same for his friends as well. Red, that’s what they would see when they snap, the sound around them would disappear and the background around them faded until their target is the only object clear in their line of sight. The urge grows and grows, their anxiety grows until it is unbearable. Their palms would itch, eyes would twitch and could barely process a thought, they have to do something about it.
So they do.
Atsumu knew that him and his friends weren’t normal, but he didn’t question it. They had a system and it worked, now if only their damn partners would get off their backs. -------------
Aka Atsumu and his friends just try to live normal lives while suffering with a mental illness that urges them to kill
True Colors by DeathBelle 
Relationship: Semi Eita/Tendou Satori
Words: 52,243 | Chapters: 11/11 | Warning: Explicit
Semi has danced at so many clubs that he hardly even notices a difference when he moves from city to city. It's always the same crowds no matter where he goes, and he always has to share a stage with the same backstabbing assholes. That's just how the club scene works, and he knows Plumage won't be any different.
Except instead of talking shit and sabotaging him, the dancers at Plumage initiate a different sort of harassment that involves repeated attempts to befriend him and non-optional invitations out to dinner. It's almost worse this way, because at least in the past, Semi had known what to expect.
The worst of them all is Tendou Satori, who is unrelenting in his pursuit of friendship, despite how many times Semi shoots him down. Tendou is obnoxious and never learned the art of taking a hint, and despite his best efforts, Semi gradually finds himself hating Tendou's company less and less. It's a perilous slope, and Semi keeps sliding.

So when Kuroo Tetsurou messages him about something he commented in a Facebook group, Kei screenshots his bio, highlights that sentence, and sends it back to him."

hello finn!! 💖💞💗 i was wondering, in a non-spoilery way, who your fave jjk characters are and why?
hi mariam!! 💖💞💗
This is such a predictable basic answer but I really love the main characters. No surprise picks here lol. first year trio my beloved...
I’ll start with Yuuji because he’s the protagonist. The best boy. First in my heart. The reasons I love him can be neatly summarized in this lil amv which is basically a compilation of all his best and cutest expressions. Look me in the eyes after watching that and tell me he’s not the most lovable thing about this whole series. You can’t do it. He’s literally so lovable what the hell
Jokes aside, the thing that draws me to Yuuji is just how unshakably kind he is. It’s in the name, Yuuji means unwavering humanity. Like Panda said during the goodwill arc, he inspires everyone around him by being this one bright point in what is established in canon as a pretty miserable way of life. He has this sensitivity and selflessness and emotional intelligence about him that is pretty rare among male protagonists imo, and he’s always trying so hard to do the right thing and do right by others even when it comes to combat and death. When he gets hurt and endures suffering (eg when he failed to save Junpei), he still does his best to keep his heart open and stay true to his principles, I find that really admirable. Also the fact that his execution is set out as a real possibility at the start of the story makes everything about him more dear to me... characters who are living on borrowed time mess me up. Not to use a meme from 2014 but Yuuji is honestly a cinnamon roll too good to pure for the jujutsu world and I love him.
Megumi!! I know I said Yuuji was best boy, but Megumi is also best boy first in my heart. They’re both best boys. Best boys together. Best boyfriends, if you will
 It’s hard to put my finger on exactly why I adore him to such a degree, especially in a non spoilery way. He seems kind of gruff and standoffish but he gets embarrassed super easily... he considers himself to be sensible and serious but he shares one braincell with the rest of the trio... he looks like a standard emo shonen rival but he turns out to be so supportive and such a genuine good friend. He’s got depth, he’s got layers. Like an onion. I do think he shines brightest when he’s acting as a foil to Yuuji. It’s so fascinating to me how they seek the same goals but they learn different lessons and take different roads to get there, and how even with their differing outlooks they still hold a deep respect for each other’s approaches. All the time I think about that one interview calling him the heroine of the story, I’m just gonna link it because I won’t be able to summarize it succinctly. Megumi steals the show for me every scene he’s in, particularly during the Origin of Obedience arc, and my affection for him knows no bounds.
And of course I must express my undying and eternal love for Nobara. I know this is breaking the rules again but Nobara is ALSO first in my heart... the undisputed best girl of the series. “I love myself when I’m all dressed up and pretty and I love myself when I’m strong, I’m Kugisaki Nobara” hello??? “You’re a bad match for me” HELLO??? She’s so iconic, and as much as I like softer feminine female characters with inner strength, I lose my mind whenever Nobara gets the chance to be snappy and aggressive and totally unhinged. I love it when shonens let their female characters be actual people.
But also underneath all that Nobara is still really caring and so ride or die for her friends, and it honestly melts my heart.  Her little speech to Yuuji about how she only has so many seats free in her heart but that some people like him just bring their own chair and sit down... there’s a post saying this is maybe the sweetest way op has ever heard someone say ‘I care about you’ and I agree. It’s such a wonderful little moment that says so much about her character and her friendship with the boys. I love it when shonens let their main trio be actual friends. Anyway words cannot describe the depth of my love for best girl Nobara, Queen Of Shonen Jump (she shares the crown with Power from chainsaw man tee hee).
Gojou and Getou are definitely on my list of top faves too, but literally every single thing that really sells me on both their characters is a massive manga spoiler so I won’t elaborate there. Just know that I love them.
