ᰔ pairing. husband nanami x wife reader (f)
ᰔ summary. you're sitting on a bench in coney island, the place you and nanami met all those years ago, to talk about where your relationship went wrong. heavily inspired by the song "coney island" by taylor swift from her album 'evermore'
ᰔ warnings/tags. some pretty heavy angst. mention of blood/wounds.
ᰔ word count. 1.3k
a/n. hellooo i just had an itching to write something angsty, and i came up with something while listening to music. hope you enjoy :')
Tumblr media
you're sitting on a bench in coney island, wondering why nanami hasn't arrived by your side yet.
pulling back the sleeve of your blouse, you glance at your watch. the evening has settled in, and it was well past the time the two of you had agreed to meet. here, where everything began all those years ago. this place, where your soul has been left to bleed dry.
it was nanami who told you not to feed the ducks any bread. before you knew him, that was all you would do. white milk bread, torn apart into pieces, tossed into the pond in front of this bench for the quacking ducks to feed on with delight. but nanami told you that's not right. he told you that the ducks cannot digest the bread the same way that you and him do. you can relate to the ducks today, unable to absorb and understand the pain within you, and in a blink of an eye, that pain takes a seat next to you.
"hello, sweetheart," nanami says, voice soft as it always is. his familiar stature is beside you in your periphery.
your eyes flicker to your watch once more. "you're late, ken."
"i know," is all he says. "forgive me?"
you do.
"i thought you were lost somewhere," you tell him, the thought sending a shiver through you. or perhaps it was the cold.
"i wasn't lost. i could never be lost, coming to this place," he assures. you glance at the skin on his hands. he looks pale, like he hasn't seen the sun in days.
you still wonder if he's lost. you wonder if that man you loved was still out there somewhere, simply wandering, trying to find his way back to you. but the disappointment is palpable, and when you close your eyes tight, the chill of the air once again bites through your bones to silence all your hope.
"i looked for you everywhere. do you know that?" you say to him. "at the park entry, across the field. by the church. i even walked by the merry-go. and i cried when i couldn't see you standing there to watch me on the blue pegasus."
from the corner of your eye, you see him turn his head to glance at you. you can see he's wearing a grey suit, the same one he wore exactly one year ago today. the one you said goodbye to him in. "it's been a long time, love. i'd wish you would let those memories go."
"we were supposed to be married forever," you barely whisper, glancing down at your ring still adorning your left hand. your eyes flicker to his hand, and the absence of the silver promise on his finger makes your soul sulk. "you've moved on from me, haven't you?"
nanami rubs his left finger with his thumb, like the sensation of the ring was a phantom limb. "i have. and i want you to move on from me as well. one day, you'll be too old to care. so don't spend another moment of your youth thinking about me."
your youth was him, from the day you met him on this bench. sprawled across it on a warm summer tuesday, reading your paperback of les misérables that had a worn out spine, gust of wind peeling a sticky note away from the page and delivering it to the front of this tall, handsome man that was walking by. he had bent down to pick it up for you, and curiously chose to read it first before handing it back. 'to love or have loved, that is enough' it said, one of your favorite quotes from the book. you didn't know what it meant at the time, but you knew what it meant now.
"were we just fools, ken?" you ask him out of nowhere. "if i had tried harder, could we have still been together? if i had let you know what it takes to be by my side, would you have still chosen to fall in love with me in the first place? how can i shake the thought that this was all a mistake?"
he shifts in his seat beside you. you still can't brave yourself to look at him. you haven't looked him in the eyes once this entire time. and you register that there's no heat from his body, leaving you feeling barren and cold.
"i would've loved you in any lifetime. there is nothing you could have done that would've kept me away," he tells you.
"so then you'll haunt me in every lifetime, too?" you ask. "a universe away from here, i'll still see your face everywhere i go?"
"no. i agreed to meet you here today to tell you that it's finally time for you to forget. those dreams of ours, of suburban holidays and tiny fingers, they can belong to someone else," he says to you, "they should belong to someone else."
you shake your head, feeling tears prickle in your eyes. christmas, winter snow, the oaky warmth of the fireplace. fresh spring air, wildflower blossoms, trees turned lush and new. salty air, summer breeze, mist of sprinklers over brown grass and skin. but by the time autumn came, there was nothing left but heartache.
"what if i asked for your forgiveness?" you say. your hands play with the bag of white bread in your lap. you thought he would scold you for it, for not remembering the wellbeing of the ducks, but truthfully you had simply forgotten. because it was like you were the version of yourself before meeting him, and you needed him to save you again.
"there's nothing to forgive," he replies. his voice is hoarse, like he's running out of air to breathe as the sun begins to set over the horizon. like this time spent together was something bought, not gifted.
"i'm sorry," you say, because you felt like you needed to say those words. "i'm sorry for how mean i was to you the last time we spoke. i don't know what got over me, but i really wish you had just stayed." your eyes prick with tears as you stare down at your lap. "i wish you weren't so quick to leave my side, even though i told you to go."
nanami places a hand over yours. you finally notice the scars and open cuts, fresh with blood. "i know, darling. as much as it troubled me to leave, i didn't want to stay and hurt you anymore."
you felt suffocated. "if i could turn back time, i would. i would go back to that moment, last week. and i would tell you to stay, so that i could've had you for the rest of a lifetime."
his thumb runs circles over the skin of your hand, but the movement is rigid and stiff. "was it last week?"
"it was." you're not mistaken, but he will try to convince you otherwise.
"i don't think so, darling."
"it was last week."
"it's been much longer than that. fifty-two fold longer."
yes. today was the anniversary. of when you buried him in the grey suit that he wears right now.
"you see my face wherever you go, hm?" nanami says to you as the tears begin to freely flow down your face. "well, when i got into the accident, the last sight that flashed before me was your face. i'm happy. i'm so happy that the last person i thought of was you."
blinking, wet drops falling onto his pale hand in your lap. "you should've stayed," you whisper. "that night, you should've just stayed with me. i would've said sorry, and i would've loved you forever."
you're sitting on a bench in coney island, wondering where your lover went. because when the sun dips underneath the horizon, his hand disappears from your lap, and you finally turn your head to look at him. but he's gone.
and when you blink the blur of salty tears from your eyes, you realize you were never sitting on that bench, waiting for him. you were standing in front of his gravestone, hoping that he'll talk to you again someday.

Okay it's after 1am and I've had a lot of wine so obviously it's time for a late night wall-of-text post, but this time it's less likely to piss off your weird uncle or whatever because once again, I gotta talk about the best $4.99 a month I've ever spent.
Please, if you haven't yet, I'm begging you to look into all of the incredible content available on the Dropout.tv streaming service (formerly known as College Humor) . Not only did Whose Line Is It Anyway's Wayne Brady say that the Dropout crew are the only ones doing improv comedy on the same level as Whose Line, but they were also one of the only studios/streaming services allowed to work during the writers' strike because their contracts went above and beyond industry standards. (And, from my own observations, Dropout LOVES hiring queer, trans/nonbinary, and BIPOC performers + crew. Obviously I don't know much about the industry, but they seem like one of the most inclusive companies in Hollywood.)
"Alex, thanks for the recommendation! What shows do they have that you think I'll like?" Oh, you're asking me to gush about my favorite tv shows? Don't mind if I do!!!
Are you D&D curious, but took one look at actual play shows like Critical Role and thought "6 hours an episode? and there's like 750 episodes or whatever? oh baby not my adhd ass..." Don't worry, me too (sorry CR I love you I promise). But Dropout has a show called "Dimension 20" where comedians play Dungeons and Dragons with emotional, immersive storytelling, gut-busting laughs, and spectacular set design that makes you forget it's a fully improvised series controlled by the roll of the dice. They even did a miniseries perfect for D&D beginners called "Dungeons and Drag Queens" where absolute novices and Drag Race royalty Jujubee, Monet X Change, Alaska Thunderfuck, and Bob the Drag Queen embark on an adventure full of mystery, intrigue, and stupidity. I mean, Alaska plays a muscle-bound, axe-wielding, caveman-grunting Orc named Princess, what more could you want? Plus, the primary game master Brennan Lee Mulligan is so easy on the eyes. Oh, you're not into dorky ginger dudes? How about Aabria Iyengar, a 6 foot tall goddess who's equally as nerdy as Brennan but loves basketball. that's right, if nothing else, there's eye candy for every person in every season.
"Oh, why aren't there any good game shows on TV?" you wonder, wishing that the Game Show Network could come up with something that isn't a lame remake of a free-to-play phone game. Well how about Game Changer, "the only game show where the game changes every show (except for [...] Game of Games, Taskmaster, and a few others that have come to light AFTER [Game Changer first aired]. That's right, [the] players have no idea what game it is they're about to play. The only way to learn is by playing, the only way to win is by learning, and the only way to begin is by beginning." And yes, I did sit there and watch the beginning of an episode to make sure I was accurately quoting Game Changer host (and Dropout CEO) Sam Reich's description of his flaghship game show that has THREE separate spin-offs. (for context, he only mentions the other shows that copied his in the one episode I pulled up to get an accurate quote. could you imagine how uncomfortable it would be if he said that every episode? hah!)
Are you more of a traditional Whose Line fan? Look no further than Game Changer spin-off Make Some Noise, where contestants act out "improvisational prompts that [they have] never seen before, isn't that right contestants?" ("We won't know if we've seen them before or not until we see them!" Brennan insists every time he's on...)
You like musicals but wish they were less... ya know, scripted? Check out "Play It By Ear", a fully improvised musical! (you may be familiar with its primary cast members Jess McKenna and Zach Reino from the podcast that inspired it all, "Off Book: the Improvised Musical Podcast with Zach and Jess")
Or maybe you're more into trivia, cuz you're a total nerd like me (and every single performer that's ever appeared on dropout.tv). How about "Umm, Actually" where contestants are given an incorrect statement and have to buzz in to correct it - but you have to say "Umm, Actually" first!
Straight up, you can't go wrong on Dropout. Please, check it out. They're nearly doubling the amount of original shows they have in 2024, and no other streaming service is doing it like them. If I haven't convinced you yet, get the 7 day trial and give em a chance. There's no referral code I can give you that gives me some sort of kickback or whatever, I genuinely wrote what looks like a thousand word essay about Dropout at 1am just because I love them so much.

Alright wise guy, what are your thoughts on the theme(s) of the first Mistborn book. This is literally an excuse for you to ramble about it, have fun.
VOID I LOVE YOU SM
So spoilers for Mistborn: The Final Empire! If you haven't read it, please beware because under the cut, Here There Be Spoilers (and also beware, Very Long post under the cut!)
The big running theme in The Final Empire is trust. Who can one really trust? Is it worth it to put your life in the hands of other people? What says they won't betray you as soon as it becomes favorable to do so?
Honestly this really is what Vin's character arc in the first book is about. At the beginning of the book, she's trapped in a low-level street gang where everyone is always out to get everyone else. Heck, the second time the audience ever sees her use her powers is when she is helping her boss betray a business partner.
Vin's brother has beaten into her the idea that she can trust nobody, not even him. Everyone is always out to hurt her or take advantage of her, and if she does not prove her immediate worth to her group, then at best she will be kicked out.
This, of course, is not helped by the fact that she is part of the literal slave class! Which is a whole nother essay tbh.
Then Kelsier takes her in and everything changes. There's a scene early on in the book, after vin formally joins the crew, where Kelsier and his men are all laughing and enjoying themselves while plotting their Big Plan™. And Vin, who does not trust any of them, is on the outside, quite literally. She's outside the room, watching them plan, wishing she could be included but not allowing herself to, because at this point in the book she still thinks they could betray her at any time.
I think now is a really good time to mention that being a Mistborn is built on secrecy and paranoia. Mistborn are literally the nobility's assassins. They hide their identities under hoods that blend into the mist so as not to be seen. So their powers cannot be used against them or their Noble Houses. In broad daylight they have to pretend to be normal people, or at best, regular Mistings. They can't trust anyone with the truth that they are Mistborn.
(Heck, even a quarter of their powerset- Copper and Bronze- create mistrust. With Bronze, after all, one can hear the allomantic pulses of burning another metal. Copper, on the other hand, blocks that; the use cases for these two metals lies in paranoia that someone else can use their Allomantic powers against you.)
Anyways! So we've explored some of the different aspects of mistrust in Mistborn, so what's the counterargument?
In a word: Kelsier.
Kelsier shakes up everything that Vin believes about how relationships work. He introduces his crew as something different- despite being a thieving crew, they operate under a principle of trust and camaraderie. "My crews rely on trust," Kelsier says at one point. In direct contrast to the dirty, paranoid crews Vin worked with before, Kelsier's crew is welcoming, understanding, and trusting of her.
But Kelsier's trust isn't just talk, either. When we learn that the crew believes Mare betrayed them in their last heist, Vin asks Kelsier how he could love Mare even though she betrayed him. Kelsier answers that given the choice between loving Mare and being betrayed or never knowing her, he would choose loving her. "I'd rather trust my men than worry about what will happen if they turn on me."
In the same passage as above, Kelsier poses a question to Vin: where has she been happier? with the old crews that we built on lies and suspicious, or with Kelsier's crew, who trusted each other and let their guards down? It's a rhetorical question, and the meaning is clear: Vin and Kelsier both are happier for risking themselves in order to be loved.
I don't think I've nearly done this topic justice. There are a million more points I could pull out and point to, but I want to end with my favorite quote from The Final Empire. It's from Vin, in Chapter 32. She says:
“Once I may have thought you a fool, but… well, that’s kind of what trust is, isn’t it? A willful self-delusion? You have to shut out that voice that whispers about betrayal, and just hope that your friends aren’t going to hurt you... Distrust is really the same thing, only on the other side. I can see how a person, given the choice of two assumptions, would choose to trust.”

While we're waiting for Alecto to come out, I thought we could have some fun in the tlt fandom :)
I'm not sure if anyone's done this before, but I haven't seen any so I thought I'd make a tag game. just for funsies.
there's absolutely no pressure to tag or to even play, I just wanted to compile all my favorite parts of the series and I thought it'd be fun to share! so without further ado...
_____________________________
My TLT Favorites
Favorite house(s): 4th and 2nd. (my favorite characters are from these houses, but also something about John creating an army in his resurrected empire and having his soulless "dead kids" be in charge of a house that breeds dead kids)
Favorite book: Gideon the Ninth. my beloved. hands down. every page is fully annotated.
Four favorite characters: Gideon Nav (i love all these characters but no one even comes marginally close to how much i love her), Teacher (he's the funniest mf in here), Jeannemary Chatur (BELOVED), John Gaius (he's literally just some guy, but I'm absolutely obsessed with the verse chapters)
Favorite ship: Jodybeth (griddlehark is endgame ofc but there's just something about these two)
A favorite scene: Nonius vs Wake fight (I'm sneaking in more favorite characters, but I just can never get over how Ortus saves the world with fanfiction. king)
Another favorite scene: Nona's 3rd tantrum (I love to see my women screaming and drenched in blood)
A favorite quote: "Won't you say one real thing to me? Won't you show me one single solitary human thing? Or are you going to die talking to me like it's just another party you wish was over already?" (htn pg. 546)
also "Yes, well, jail for Mother" (htn 498) and "...beneath a blue and foreign sky." (gtn 439). I think about all three of these constantly
Favorite ATN theory: Alecto is a hideous corpse. (not sure what this entails yet, but I love Teacher so much, and I don't think we spent that much time on him for nothing)
_____________________________
Thought I'd keep it short and sweet, but please, please, feel free to make it your own :)
I was intending for this to be a tag game, so I nominate:
@onefleshoneend0 @transbutchbluess @orionsystem6 @koshertaako @susurra-el-arroyo-manso
but like I said, no pressure! just for funsies!
(*updated to add my own notes bc I love seeing everyone else's!)

Round 3 - Catholic Character Tournament
Tumblr media
Propaganda below ⬇️
Michael
Literally the whole movie series is framed around the sacraments. Weddings and first communions and baptisms.
I just thought of the Godfather bc of the tumblr ask about people who are devout in some ways but uhh not very holy in other ways, and nobody is a better example of that than Michael in the montage toward the end of the Godfather. I saw the film for the first time last year, and that sequence just floored me. Will not spoil it in case you haven't seen the film but ohhh my goodness
Ronan Lynch
Uhh fun fact he saw the devil flash his father once, and that's one of the reasons he goes to church on Sundays <3
context for this scene from book 2: ronan is in church with his older brother declan, younger brother matthew, and ghost friend noah "Joseph Kavinsky isn’t someone I want you being around,” Declan added. “Don’t snort. I’m serious.” Ronan merely invested a look with as much contempt as he could muster. A lady reached over the top of Noah to pat Matthew’s head fondly before continuing down the aisle. She didn’t seem to care that he was fifteen, which was all right, because he didn’t, either. Both Ronan and Declan observed this interaction with the pleased expressions of parents watching their prodigy at work. Declan repeated, “Like, actually dangerous.” Sometimes, Declan seemed to think that being a year older gave him special knowledge of the seedier side of Henrietta. What he meant was, did Ronan know that Kavinsky was a cokehead. In his ear, Noah whispered, “Is crack the same thing as speed?” Ronan didn’t answer. He didn’t think it was a very church-appropriate conversation. “I know you think you’re a punk,” Declan said. “But you aren’t nearly as bad ass as you think you are.” “Oh, go to hell,” Ronan snapped, just as the altar boys broached the rear doors. “Guys,” Matthew pleaded. “Be holy.”
Gay Catholic streetracing farmer. Consumed by catholic guilt NOT because of the gay thing but because he can Create things in a way he thinks should be only God's business. Will literally roll up to mass on sunday morning still drunk and bloody.
THIS GOTH KID IS LITERALLY GOD. This is a god trapped in the body of a Catholic teen and if he ever stopped feeling Catholic guilt he’d end the world!!. How is your confession every week that you creating a whole new being? Babygirl the God is coming from inside the house
eldritch entity from beyond the mortal plane wants to be a Real Human Boy, becomes a real (ish!) human (ish!) boy, goes to mass every sunday
Gay boy got his crush an apartment above his church so he could have his two favorite things in one place
gay. I'm not caught up the the series but I went through the tag when the latest book came out and I remember seeing a quote that said he worried if his boyfriend would make it to heaven when he dies because of his agnostic tendencies.
Kid is like a dream warlock who creates psychic horrors and never goes to confession because why would he? and he’s gay
There are no words
basically ronan's powers are inherited from his dead father niall and it means he can bring anything from a dream into real life. so he's got this whole crisis about whether he is a living piece of blasphemy because men are not meant to have the powers of gods or whether he literally is god. which is not acceptable to him for a number of reasons but mostly because he hates himself. his love interest's name is adam and adam lives in a small apartment above a church which the book says focuses the objects of his worship neatly into one building. I love them both dearly. also, this entire page makes me feel like I'm going insane. Ronan Lynch believed in heaven and hell. Once, he’d seen the devil. It had been a low, late morning at the Barns when the sun had burned off the mist and then burned off the chill and then burned the edges off the ground until everything shimmered with heat. It never got hot in those protected fields, but that morning, the air sweated with it. Ronan had never seen cattle pant before. All of the cows heaved and stuck their tongues out as they frothed with the heat. His mother sent Ronan to put them in the shade of the cattle barn. Ronan had gone to the searing metal gate, and as he did, he’d glimpsed his father, already in the barn. Four yards away from him had stood a red man. He was not truly red, but the burned orange of a fire ant. And he was not truly a man, because of the horns and the hooves. Ronan remembered the alienness of the creature, how real it had been. Every costume in the world had gotten it wrong; every drawing in every comic book. They’d all forgotten that the devil was an animal. Looking at the red man, Ronan had been struck by the intricacy of the body, how many miraculous pieces moved smoothly in harmony, no different than his own. Niall Lynch had had a gun in hand — the Lynches had an enormous number of guns of all sizes — and just as Ronan had opened the gate, his father had shot the thing about thirteen times in the head. With a shake of its horns, the unharmed devil had presented its genitalia to Niall Lynch before bounding off. It was an image that had yet to leave Ronan. And so Ronan became a reverse evangelist. The truth burst and grew inside him, and it was laid upon him to share it with no one. No one was meant to see hell before they get there. No one should have to live with the devil. So many homilies on faith were ruined once you no longer required it for belief.

Delectable
(Dottore x Reader)
A little note on who's who cuz segments exist. (Arranged by Eldest to Youngest) Zeta (essentially an old grumpy grandpa) Alpha (the one who went to Inazuma cuz he gives diff vibes) Prime (the one who negotiates with Nahida) Beta (webtorre, basically) Omega (boattore) Eta (teenager) Rho (the smol child)
Reader is called 'lady' but they/them pronouns ====
It's unfair
Dottore frowns, cross armed as he tried to think of something he can cook and not fuck up the kitchen . It's pathetic really, how you spoil him lots with the most delectable food, the grandest of ideas and precious sentimental gifts while he, one of the most intelligent Harbingers who created a God for goodness sake, can't even make a fried egg.
"Sir, what are you doing?" His segment, Beta asked as Dottore clicked his tongue.
"Thinking."
"About them?"
"About what I can make for them?" Beta starts laughing loudly while Dottore blushed furiously while the other segments inside the laboratory stared in confusion.
"Are you seriously thinking about making them food when you can barely cook a boiled egg? My god, you are insane."
"That's rich coming from myself. I know I am insane!" Dottore sarcastically proclaimed while Rho, his youngest version, hummed.
"It's not a bad idea. As (Y/N) always says, it takes practice." Rho quotes while Eta, his teenager self, scoffs.
"As if we have the luxury of time. We still have several projects to complete before we can take a week off. I highly doubt that we'd use that one whole week to attempt at cooking of all things. We might as well make a perfume for them. They like those, don't they?" Eta says while the eldest one, Zeta grumbles.
"Let's think about that later. We have deadlines to meet."
===
"Lord Harbinger! We have a delivery for you!"
"Is it the new test tubes we ordered?" Eta grumbled, glaring at the Fatui agent who was shaking down to the nerve. He gave him a warm lunchbox before bowing.
"(Y/N) dropped this off." Eta blinked as the Fatui agents leaves the room. He opens the box to smell the aromatic scent of Shrimp Curry, one of his favorite childhood dishes growing up. He looks around the room, seeing that all the other segments were busy doing their own thing before seeing Rho under the table with a grin on his face.
Eta slowly slides the box under the table, giving it to Rho as he silently slides off his stool and tiptoe out--.
"Rho, Eta. Where are you going? You still have compiling to do." Omega, Dottore's segment around his 40s, calls as Rho hides the box behind his back while giving an innocent smile.
"We're just gonna go to the restroom. I don't trust Rho wiping his ass by himself. You remember last time?" Eta rolled his eyes and glares at Rho, giving him a wink while the little boy spits a raspberry at him.
"He contaminated the lab, yes. Go ahead then. Come back right after or I'll have Arlecchino hunt you both down." Omega says, immediately shifting his attention back to his work before Rho and Eta rush out of the room, holding back their snickering.
"That was easy. Now gimme some!" Rho says as Eta rolled his eyes and takes the box from Rho before grabbing his hand towards the communal kitchen.
As they enter the room, they notice you talking to the chefs, a worried look on your face. Rho and Eta slowly hide behind the food rack, sneaking towards the free utensils so they can split the food in half. As they got closer to the utensils, Rho looks towards you from behind the rack, listening to your wavering voice.
"Are you sure I haven't left my recipe book here? I swear I had it with me, but now I can't find it!"
"I'm sorry (Y/N), but we haven't seen it. Have you tried the library? Or the laboratory?" The chef asked as you nodded.
"I'll try searching there. Thanks for your help." You sighed, your eyes roaming the room before storming out of the communal kitchen.
"I got the bowl--."
"We should help (Y/N)."
"Huh? Why? What happened?" Eta asked as Rho takes his portion of the Shrimp Curry and takes in a spoonful.
"She lost her recipe book. We need to find it."
"Yeah, but didn't they say that they remembered them all from heart or something?"
"But they needs the specific measurements because they'll be the one cooking for the Banquet this weekend." Rho explains while Eta continues eating his portion of the Shrimp Curry.
"Or we can assist them in cooking."
"How is (Y/N) gonna cook if they don't have the ingredients??!"
"Hey! What are you brats doing here!??!" Arlecchino scolds, making Rho squeal in fear while Eta grabs his younger self and the two bowls before dashing out of the kitchen.
=
"They sure are taking their sweet time." Alpha, the segment in his mid 20s says while Beta, the segment around Dottore's early 20s, huffs while scribbling down something on his notebook as Alpha sees a familiar cover in the corner of his eye.
"Is that (Y/N)'s notebook?"
"Yes, why?" Alpha storms to Beta smacks him upright on the head before grabbing the recipe book from his hand.
"HEY WHAT THE FUCK?! I WAS ON THE LAST PAGE!!"
"(Y/N) needs it for the banquet this weekend! They're going to start the preparations today and would need this!!" Alpha scolds as Beta just rolled his eyes.
"Yeah, yeah whatever. Just let me finish copying!"
"No, I'm going to give this to (Y/N) and you should be starting on Experiment 872!" The man says before Beta pushes Alpha down to the floor and tried to grab the notebook when it slid across the floor away from their grasps.
"You fucking fool!! What was that for!?!"
"I'm not going to start the experiment without finishing the copy!!!" Beta screams, wrestling with the older version himself before the door opens.
"Alright let's start--." Before Prime could register what was happening his foot kicks the notebook into the open forge fire and the pack of paper bursts into flames. Alpha and Beta just stare in utter horror while Prime points at the forge fire.
"What was that?"
"(Y/N)'s recipe book."
". . . . . "
===
"YOU WHAT?!?!?" Zeta and Omega screamed as the segments lines up in front of him, Alpha and Beta glaring at each other endlessly, Eta and Rho rubbing their heads after Arlecchino hit them with a ruler as a punishment, and Prime standing at the end, sweating in embarrassment.
"It was an accident I swear."
"Yeah shut up Prime, no one gives a fuck about you. I'm talking to these idiots right here!" Zeta screeched, hitting Alpha's kneecap with his cane and stomping on Beta's foot.
"How could you take something so valuable and handle it so carelessly?! You haven't even asked (Y/N) about borrowing it!"
"To be fair, they did leave it in the library." The segments all looked at Beta with a shocked and horrified look before Alpha raised his hands.
"(Y/N) was looking for that since awhile ago!! She was at the verge of tears you animal!!" Eta screamed while Rho pounced onto Alpha and bit his arm.
"GET OFF ME YOU FUCKING RACCOON!!"
"E N O U G H !" Zeta's voice boomed his cane delivering a blow to the head on every segment except for Omega.
"For geniuses like us we're all acting like buffoons. Get your heads straight. What can we do to at least make up for this?" Zeta asked, pointing at Omega who sighed.
"We'll cancel our experiment and focus on helping (Y/N). We owe it to them." He says before Zeta points at Alpha who was holding his bleeding arm.
"I can give the copy I gave. However, the last recipe is still incomplete under ingredients and procedures." He huffs before getting bonked on the head with Zeta's cane again.
"Prime and I can go compile some similar recipes according to the menu (Y/N) chose for the banquet. Eta here will--."
"Help with the preparations with Rho."
"No. Kids aren't allowed in the kitchen."
"Says who?" Everyone turned to see you, crossed armed and a curious expression on your face.
"(Y/N)! What an unexpected surprise, what can we do for you?"
"I lost my recipe book. Have you seen it anywhere?" You asked as the room fell awkwardly silent before.
"AlphatookyourrecipebookandcopieditandthenBetatriedtotakeitandit felltothefloorandthenPrimecameinandaccidentallykickeditanitfellinsidetheforgesoyourrecipebookisbasicallyashesnow." Rho rambled in one whole breath before Alpha, Beta and Prime slowly try to walk away from your gaze.
"Boys...."
"Yes?" Prime smiled nervously as Alpha and Beta shook behind him before a knife suddenly pops up on your hand.
"5."
"Oh shit."
"4."
"This is gonna be fun. Rho, get the Kamera!"
"3."
"It's been nice knowing you boys."
"2."
"Babe, you know I love you right?"
"1."
Alpha and Beta pushed Prime towards you before making a mad dash out of the laboratory only to run past the man with a knife in hand.
"I'm alive???" Prime laughed hysterically and in victory before getting a smack on the head from Zeta.
===
"You're lucky I love you, otherwise you wouldn't have survived." You said as Beta laid on the hospital bed, quite literally traumatized (and turned on) by you.
"I'm sorry."
"No."
"You can have my copy."
"Only you can read your goddamn handwriting." You huffed pat his cheek.
"Get well soon dear."
"Thank you." He chokes before passing out on the hospital bed.
You sighed walking towards the kitchen to see Rho try to slice up some mushrooms for the Adeptus' Temptation that was on the menu.
"I think this is how you cut it? I'm not sure..."
"I think they did it this way..."
"I'm surprised you're doing it, not the older ones." You smiled as the boys looked at you and gleamed with excitement.
"Well, yeah. They went to look for the recipes based off of Alpha's copy since we can't really read his handwriting well. I asked if Zeta can supervise us but he only sent Eta instead." You sighed before holding the knife over Rho's hands and held the matsutake on the other, with his hand.
"Make sure your fingers are curled so the knife doesn't cut them. Since you're a beginner, you can slice it slowly, like this." You say, pushing the knife down and cutting it slowly while Eta observed from the side.
"He wanted to learn himself. I wasn't gonna push." He says before taking a knife from the rack and start chopping the carrots.
"It's a learning process after all."
===
"4 years of research in 3 hours... We're clearly deranged." Beta laughed to himself, holding the books (annotated and bookmarked) while Zeta grumbles.
"I know. I am always told that. Anyways. We should go to the kitchen. Hopefully the kids haven't burnt it all down." He says before opening the door to the kitchen. As soon as the door opens, the scent of delicious food floods the room, the aroman of delectable spices and desserts dancing in the warm room.
There, Eta was storing the broth under the hot table while Rho threw the pre-prepared doughs into a box.
"Did you find all the recipes?" You asked as you were filleting a large fish (courtesy of Capitano and Childe) with your sword as Zeta nods.
"Yes. All annotated and combined just for you, my love." He says while you chuckle and give him a kiss on the cheek.
"Thank you, Zeta. You can go rest now. You were on your legs for almost the whole day." You said as he just rolls his eyes.
"Oh don't bother with me, love! I'm used to this. Even though my legs are basically on stilts, I can still walk for hours on end." Zeta grumbles, walking past the other segments who carried books upon books of recipes.
"Looks like I'm not getting any sleep, huh." You asked, holding your head in tiredness. Today's events definitely took a toll on your body more than your mind. Losing your precious recipe book all because your beloved wanted a copy. Honestly, he could've just asked--.
"You look pale, my dear. Go get some rest." Alpha says, only getting a hand wave from you.
"I'm fine. I'm fine. I still have so much to do." You sighed, rubbing your temples before meeting the worried gazes of all the remaining segments.
"We can handle it... Promise." Eta says, holding his hand up as a swear while Rho just smiles at you.
"We'll take care of your idiots for you."
"Hey!" The older segments hissed only for you to shake your head.
"I appreciate the sentiment boys, but I--.."
"I'll wake you up early so you can finish the final touches, darling. At least take a nap." Zeta convinces, rubbing his hand on your arm soothingly before you just caved.
"Alright, alright... Rho, Eta. You're in charge." You instruct, seeing the wide gazes of the older segments and the beaming excitement on the two youngest. You left the kitchen in utter shock and silence, preferring the 5 hour nap they suggested than anything else at this point.
"Archons, please don't let them fuck up."
===
The segments didn't eat, after all, it was no longer a necessity for them. However, the youngest segments, Rho and Eta, were more than happy to eat the food your practiced so hard on to perfect.
It was their genuine curiosity that lead them beside you while you cooked his favorite cuisine, one of his homeland.
"So that's why it's creamier than the usual dishes I tasted. You used a different kind of milk and added cornstarch solution. That's pretty smart. Those two make the sauce thicker. It's basically science." Rho says while Eta smiled.
"At least you're more lenient than the segments. They don't allow any mistake while you just embrace them." You frowned at his statement. The older segments, especially Zeta, were particularly harsh with their expectations. You knew better than to treat him like that. To only put them down to the level of 'imps' was just dehumanizing his past self. You weren't going to do that to him though, not ever.
"Hey."
"Hm?"
"The older segments may be geniuses and whatnot, but you know what they're not?"
"What is it?" Rho asks curiously before you give both of them a kiss on the forehead and pat their squishy cheeks.
"My chefs."
===
Prime and Alpha just watched with open jaws as Eta swiftly chopped all the vegetables into their respective slices and organized them to what recipe they were for. Zeta could only chuckle in amusement while Omega puts down the boxes of fruits.
"So, why lavender melon? Aren't they sour?" Omega asked before Rho takes one and takes a small whiff of it before smiling.
"That's because the calla lily balances it out, since it's both sweet and slightly bitter if you add the pollen which Lady (Y/N) says to put on the rim of the glass. Now it was 3:2:2:1 ratio of milk, lavender melon, mint and calla lily. The order calls for I think 550 cups, with a reservation of 50 more so that's 600 in total. Uhhh.... Omega please grinding these up for me." Rho says, pulling out a sack of mint from under the counter.
"Can't we just use mint essential oil?" Beta asks, looking at the copy of his recipe before getting a disgusted glare from Eta and Rho.
"Do you want to burn our customer's throats?!"
"CUSTOME--?!"
"APAPA! You're in my kitchen now! Lady (Y/N) gave me and Eta authority AND they taught us how to make almost every dish we're going to make. So play nice before I stab your eyes out and serve them to Lord Regrator. He's been meaning to collect them for a while now." Rho smiles innocently, as if he didn't threaten Beta, who's known for his hostile temper towards threats. The man only shook and gritted his teeth before taking a deep breath and sighing.
"This is for (Y/N). Don't fuck this up." Beta tells himself before straightening his jacket before Rho rolled his eyes and takes the sack of calla lilies onto the table and opened it with his knife.
"Okay, gramps. I know you like your botany so you're an expert at this. All you gotta do is just pick the stamens and stem of the calla lilies and that's it." Rho demonstrates, just taking the three stamens on the flower and putting the bulb-like flower into a mortar.
"Why--?"
"No, we don't use large grinders because the drink will otherwise taste like rust and you can feel a gritty feeling of iron bits on the drink." Rho explains, taking the mint and grinding it with the calla lily.
"That's why I can break a test tube with my bare hands." Rho smiles to himself as he puts the concoction into a shaker. He then crushes the lavender melons, letting the sour juice drip into the shaker before he eats what remains of it. At the sight of this Alpha just covers his mouth because the last time he ate it fresh was a disaster (he embarrassingly threw up on a ronin hiding in the bushes while in disguise) while Rho shakes the shaker, as if he was a professional bartender at a bar.
"I already premade the frothy milk so that's less work and that's just it. We'll put it together with the ice later when we serve it." He says before looking at the segments (except Eta) who just stared in amazement.
"What?"
"I'm proud." Prime sputters out loud before clearing his throat.
"I'm proud of (Y/N)! For teaching you so well!!" He laughs nervously before getting a glare from Eta.
"Just say that you're proud of us." He says taking a large tuna from the ice box and setting it on the table before cracking his neck.
"Like I would admit that!" Prime scoffs, crossing his arms before Eta takes the knife from the rack and starts filleting the large fish before him. Even if it was half his height, he was able to manage perfect fillets which was almost identical to your chopping skills and his surgical ones. Zeta just howls in laughter at his changed expression.
"Prideful as ever, Prime. Keep it up." The old man laughs, picking on the unnecessary parts of the flower and putting them into the clean barrel while Rho continues making the Rainbow Aster drinks.
===
You heard a knock on the door, making you groan in tiredness and frustration.
"What is it this time? Don't tell me they burnt the communal kitchen." You mumbled tiredly, rubbing your eyes before looking at the time to see--.
"WAIT FUCK IT'S 8!! I SHOULD'VE BEEN UP AT 5!!" You cursed, sitting up from the bed before seeing Prime walked inside your room with a tray of breakfast.
"Good morning, love. We're almost done with the feast, so the boys taught us how to make breakfast and well..." He gives an awkward smile, setting the tray of breakfast on the bedside table.
It was some pancakes, slightly burnt ones on the very bottom while perfectly cooked ones set on the top along with a small knob of butter and maple syrup. Even if it looked like a kindergartener's work, you couldn't help but feel butterflies in your stomach.
This was the first time they served breakfast in bed, let alone something they made themselves!
"You all made this? For me?" You asked, almost at the verge of happy tears before seeing him smirk.
"Consider it as our apology for the trouble we caused you." He chuckles, seeing you taking a piece of pancake into your mouth and smile in delight.
"This is delicious, oh my archons. I feel so spoiled." You swooned, earning a laugh from Prime. He takes a glance at the door that was left ajar, which the other segments peeped into with excitement in their faces.
===
You completed the final touches; plating, sauces, reheating, etc. It went smoothly, all while being assisted by your husband's youngest segments.
"There's still some extra Adeptus' Temptation. I'll keep the pot on low heat just in case someone wants some more." Rho reports, slowing down the stove while Eta lists down the yields of all the dishes.
"Everything's complete, Lady (Y/N). Including the requested dishes of the Harbingers." Eta says before you turn to him.
"What about the Tsaritsa?"
"WAIT THE TSARITSA?!!?" The boys screamed in shock as you nodded before Eta sees the extra set of dishes on the side, Ptichye Moloko (Bird's Milk Cake), Potato Mushroom Soup and a Love Poem tea.
"T-that's for the Tsaritsa??" Rho shakes, before feeling you pat his head.
"I'm sure it'll taste perfect. You make the best versions of these foods if I do say so myself." You give him a a gentle assuring smile, but he only hums nervously.
"If you say so." He scratches his arm and sways before the head server enters the room with an entourage of other servers. They take the special dishes, first the Tsaritsa's dishes following the rest of the Harbingers before the remaining servers took the large yields of food into the dining hall, for the first time in a while, bustling with celebration.
"Thank you for the feast, Lady (Y/N). You may now take your seat in the hall." The head server thanks, bowing to you slightly while you just nodded.
"Anytime. I'll go change to my dress. As for you boys, you might wanna change." You smiled, taking off the wilted cabbage on Eta's shoulder.
"Why do we have to though? Aren't we just gonna sleep now?" Eta asks, yawning in between his sentence and rubbing his eyes.
"Better to sleep in clean clothes. But with that being said, thank you so much for taking over for me. I wouldn't have done it without you boys." You praised, earning beaming smiles from them as you gave a quick peck on their cheeks.
"Anything for you, Lady (Y/N)!"
"Anytime, (Y/N)."
===
Everything came out better than expected. Everyone seemed to enjoy their food, some even asking for extras which resulted in you getting back into the kitchen to cook extras (thank the archons for Eta's prediction) along with the kids.
As much as you wanted to boast about Eta and Rho being your beloved sous chefs, the crowd might've barfed all their dinner out at the knowledge that Dottore of all people cooked their food.
"Boys, are you still there?" You called out, walking into the kitchen to see Eta and Rho sleeping right where you last saw them, on the counter and the empty crate box. You couldn't help but let out a light chuckle before the door opens behind you.
"Man, they're even more exhausted than when they usually conduct a week-long research."
"It takes quite a lot of effort to feed more than a thousand mouths." You say picking up Rho from the box and carrying him in your arms. The little boy squirms for a comfortable position before letting out a tired sigh and hugging you around your neck.
"Can you carry the other one?" You asked nicely, receiving an eye roll from Prime before he takes Eta from the counter and carries him on his back.
"Noooo, that's the wrong cut. It's a fillet not a butcher dumbass." Eta mumbles, clearly dreaming (or reliving) about cooking with the segments. Prime grumbles in embarrassment as you just let out a giggle before carrying Rho to the bedroom followed by Dottore.
The segments shared a room, sort of like a dormitory only for them (excluding Zeta and Prime). The only person asleep in the room was Omega, a book on top of his eyes while the rest of the beds were empty. Alpha and Beta probably went out partying and drinking as they usually do (or commit a crime, who knows).
You gently laid Rho onto his bed, changed him into his pajamas and tucked him in. You gave the little boy a kiss on the forehead before seeing a small smile grow on his face and then looked towards Prime who did the same (excluding changing him and giving a good night sleep).
"So, what should we do now?"
"Go to sleep, obviously. I can barely stand at this point, it's like someone slashed my calves." You replied in a snarky tone before he suddenly lifts you up in a princess carry, a grin on his face.
"Well then let's go, dove. Don't want my darling to fall on her knees just yet."
"ZANDIK NO--."
===
The sound of a sizzling pan as the scent of butter melts onto the pan. That alone dances around his palette and excites his stomach. Cheesy tuna sandwich? Truly delectable to the child. So delectable, it's worth getting scolded over by everyone.
"Rho darling, aren't you supposed to be in the library?" You asked, turning to the boy who was hiding behind the food rack behind you. He could only give a bashful expression and twiddle his fingers.
"I smelled something good..."
"Cheesy tuna sandwiches?" He nods, giving an embarrassing expression before he hears the crunch of you slicing the sandwiches in half.
"I can't exactly eat this all alone... I was gonna give it to Prime, but I'm sure he'll end up leaving it to the side and making it run cold." You said, offering the other slice of the warm sandwich. He looks up to you with beaming eyes before taking it from your hands and taking a bite out of it.
He hums in delight, taking in the taste of the sandwich. Every detail, every ingredient he could trace with his untrained palette. His curiosity grew more at the second bite. How did you cook it? Which came first? Bread or tuna? What kind of cheese did you use? Curiosity, wonder and excitement was written all over his face.
"You're thinking too hard now, Rho..." You laughed as he blinks rapidly and continues eating the sandwich. He must've really enjoyed it to space out just like that.
"Would you like me to teach you dear?"
"Why should I if you're always around?" He asks, mouth still full of food before you pat his head.
"But maybe I want to taste how you make your Cheesy tuna sandwiches."
===
He gets up from bed, a relaxing stretch and yawn escaping his body before he slips out of the bed and takes in the distant scent of his favorite snack...
"Huh, maybe that's why I dreamt of food... I was hungry." He mumbled to himself before walking out of the bedroom.
As he makes his way to the Harbingers' communal dining hall, he sees you set down a plate of Cheesy tuna sandwiches and Quesadillas. He sees Eta wave at him, taking the plate of Quesadillas and munching on them.
"Good morning, Rho. Slept well?" You greeted, giving him a pat on the little boy as he gives a smile.
"Yep. I dreamt of Cheesy tuna sandwiches."
Someone in the comment section said make part 2 and now my girlfriend won't stop annoying about it. Might as well just spoil y'all

JJK HEADCANONS: CHRISTMAS EDITION
This is way too long but I hope you enjoy nonetheless.
GOJO: Okay, he takes Christmas VERY seriously. He's the type of person who will go out and beyond to have the best decorated house on his street. The one with the most lights and decorations? Yeah that's Gojo's house.
Is it because his birthday is in december? Is it because his self proclaimed son was born three days before Christmas? Is it because he killed his best friend on Christmas day and he has to cover up the void with something uplifting? WHO KNOWS.
But there are two things this man does very well on said holiday:
- He arrives LATE to the party. This man CANNOT arrive on time to save his life, he will do everything he's not supposed to do right before leaving for Jujutsu Tech's Christmas dinner (Idc if it exists or not, it exists in MY head). He'll be like "oh, that window is really dirty, I should clean it NOW", "hm I haven't seen that one shirt I used for Christmas last year, I need to find it now, my life depends on it", "Suguru and I used ugly matching sweaters on Christmas of 2007, maybe I should wear it again but where did I put it? (he finds it and cries for an hour)". And when he DOES arrive, everyone will stare at him like he's the Grinch.
- He LOVES opening gifts. Nothing much can be said, he's definitely the type to make everyone meet at the living room to make them open the gifts. Number one fan of gift opening.
NANAMI: (God knows I cried writing this after last week's episode) I had to think hard about this one, mostly because I don't see him as someone who celebrates Christmas in a big way, probably he just buys a pretty expensive bread or a Charcuterie board and calls it a day. HOWEVER, if he plans to celebrate it one day, for once in his life, it would be orchestrated by none other than Yuji, because and I quote "Nanami shouldn't be spending such a happy day alone :(" And so he invites the first years and Gojo (and Ijichi) to celebrate Christmas at his house.
- He's the one responsible for Christmas dinner. He'll cook the turkey, he'll buy the best wine he can find (and non alcoholic sparkling apple cider because he has minors over), he'll bake the most delicious dessert you'll ever try in your life. And while the Turkey is baking, he will set up the table for everyone invited, with assigned seats (Yuji to his left, Gojo to his right). And of course he has to leave an empty chair at the table for Haibara, because he might not be there physically, but Nanami will always have a space in his life for him. (Jesus please someone tell me to SHUT THE FUCK UP)
NOBARA: (Yes, I'm adding salt to the wound) She either LOVES Christmas or she's pretty chill about it. But she loves a gold old Christmas dinner party, there's no force on this earth that will stop her from attending. And this leads me to my main point, she is pretty eager for everyone to open the gifts she gave them, why? Well
- She considers that the most important day in December is Gift Shopping Day-mas, yes she has a name for it. She will walk for HOURS from store to store trying to find the perfect gifts for her friends, no matter how much she will end up spending that day. "An expensive hoodie and a pair of sneakers for Yuji, a special limited edition of Megumi's favorite book, a wrist watch for Gojo, no that's too plain, maybe a shirt. Or an expensive colgone, or-". She'll go out and beyond for the gifts she'll give.
YUJI: This came very easy to me, as he is one of the most excited for Christmas, only second to Gojo. You know him, Itadori is the most energetic and good hearted person in Jujutsu Tech, to say he hates Christmas is a nasty lie because:
- There is not a single activity in this earth that compares to decorating for Christmas. He'll spend entire days trying to fix the Christmas lights on the rooftop in a symmetrical way, making sure every snowman is in place and every single one of the has to have a different face (just for shits and giggles).
- He is the designated Christmas lights Detangler™. And he takes his job seriously, spending hours trying to figure out the knots on the cables and the best way to detangle them without damaging the wires. It's an impressive job, even he admits it came natural to him when he was a kid, and he has done it ever since.
MEGUMI: He has never been one to get particularly excited for Christmas as he has never celebrated it in a proper way, nor he is interested in doing so. HOWEVER, he remembers two specific Christmas that have a special place in his heart. The first time he and Tsumiki saved enough money to buy a cake on Christmas day, Tsumiki said that it was to have a double celebration, as his birthday and Christmas day are only three days apart. The second time was the first Christmas he spent with Gojo, because that man went out and about to make this the best Christmas of their entire life. Food, gingerbread houses, hot chocolate, putting up the tree and decorating the whole house, allowing them to DIY their own Christmas tree ornaments (Which Gojo still has and still uses them in his Christmas tree to this day). But there is an activity I see him engaging without complaining:
- Gift wrapping. Now, I don't know if this really is a Christmas activity but in my personal experience it is and its a very nice activity I keep close to my heart. So once he has done all his Christmas shopping, he will lock himself in his bedroom and sit on the cold floor just to wrap up the well thought gifts he bought for everyone, yes including Gojo. He'll buy different gift wrap papers for the sake of knowing which gift is which, not because he chooses the paper according to the person's taste, not at all. He has to wrap them up perfectly smooth, no creases or rough edges because hes a perfectionist.
The only reason i didn't include Geto in this was because i could NOT think about something Christmas-y for him. Also becasue he was killed on Christmas day so there was not much he could be doing. I'm so sorry i swear I like him.
ALSO, I will be writing a spanish version of this post with a little twist because God knows Christmas in a Hispanic household hits different. And it's also a way for me to know how many people will enjoy/interact with that post since i dont see any spanish content of JJK on Tumblr, I see it mostly on TikTok but I don't have the time to manage two accounts on different platforms so.

Food for thought but here's an interesting video about the psychology of the trinity and I'm curious as to what your thoughts on this and how Gege might be applying this in JJK considering the concept of threes is arguably prevalent in the series.

ohoho anon. I even made a little diagram about it that I just absolutely have to share because the brainrot was so good.
This is the thing, maybe this amounts to something, maybe it doesn't, but these are the things my nerdy brain lives for in jjk. ESPECIALLY because they show Gege's level of metaphorical thinking.
I remember this one time this jjk anti told me "I am sure Gege does his research, but jjk is not that deep". Bro... this isn't research, this is deep understanding of the dynamics of the psyche.
Anyways, Analytical Psychology in jjk under the cut'o.
In fact... MBTI anon, this one might be for you... I'd be curious to read your thoughts.
Tumblr media
God I missed using that meme.
First things first. Max Derrat! YES. I've only seen a few of his videos, but what I've seen has always been very, very interesting stuff. Guess how I found him?
Dun dun dun...
Tumblr media
Jacob's Ladder.
I WILL NEVER SHUT UP ABOUT THIS MOVIE.
So, anyone reading this, go watch the movie and the yt video shared by anon if interested. The movie is a mindfuck, my favorite kind.
About the video...
TLDW; Max basically talks about why the number 3 is considered a sacred number in numerology. For example, Max argues that we often see Gods that come in triads (i.e. Zeus and his brothers Neptune and Hades), but argues that 4 is actually a number of wholeness.
I had rambled about numerology and the significance of 3 and 4 before here. But here's the text again (context: mind = body = soul in jjk as representing the 3 major clans):
Thing is, we are ideally meant to think of it as if this holy trinity (3) makes up one whole together (4). This "whole" is called the Self in Jungian terms, and it is thought to be the entirety of our existence (mind (includes the shadow) + body + soul). Also, from a numerology and esoteric standpoint, you also want to consider that four (the Self) symbolizes stability and order, where three (mind + body + soul) is harmonious but not balanced.
But I really like that Max brought up the Kabbalistic tree of life for his example of why 4 = wholeness. I'm not going to go into all that tho. Suffice it to say he brings up Jung's Answer to Job, which I have not finished reading, but I understand the book is basically Jung rambling about why God is basically an asshole.
Don't quote me on this.
Part of the conclusion that Jung came to is that if God (1) represents "good" then he is not omnipotent because there is an opposite energy to "good", and that is "evil", or Satan (2).
Now, Max talks about how the Holy Trinity (3) represents aspects of God (or something like that), but that Satan, who is on an equal level as God (because good vs evil are opposing energies), got pushed into the shadow (4).
Again, Max does a much better job at explaining how this works, but the whole thing totally reminded me of Jungian typology.
Excuse the chicken scratch.
Tumblr media
In the diagram above, you can replace mind (spirit), body (the son), soul (the Father) and (?) with one of the functions from the MBTI.
Mind you, I haven't studied Jungian typology in depth, and I am totally not well-versed on MBTI typology. But the gist of it is that there's 4 functions thinking, feeling, sensation, and intuition. For one reason or another, one becomes dominant, two support the dominant one, and a 4th one is underdeveloped or pushed into the shadow.
You see the pattern?
This is where we come to jjk and the one who might "emerge from the darkness, blacker than darkness. [And] purify that which is impure."
Jujutsu Kaisen
Tumblr media
Now. I don't have the most coherent thoughts on the topic tbh. Everything is kind of a bunch of ideas floating around that I'm having a hard time grounding.
But I think of particular interest is the idea of the bath's goal being "being near evil."
Tumblr media
But in the original Japanese text, the kanji Ura Ume uses is the kanji for devil/demon, not evil. You know, the function that got pushed into the shadow.
Tumblr media
So there's defo something here pointing at the need for wholeness and for bringing the contents of the shadow into consciousness in order to achieve said wholeness.
And what is in the deepest depths of the shadow? The devil himself. Your own worst enemy.
If you haven't already, I recommend you read Ant's meta of Megumi's character (hi Ant). Of particular interest to this whole ramble, is the idea that at the core of individuation, Megumi is being tasked with merging with his shadow and how that has greater implications...
Tumblr media
God I love Jujutsu Kaisen...
Anon. THANKS for this ask. I am spoiled with brainrot inducing asks and I am very grateful for it.

Random question cause I've just seen an event and I'm starting to find idia a bit annoying lol but I do still like him when he makes sense but I wanted to know why YOU didn't like him lol
Okay I give my whole ass disclaimer that I know Idia is a fan favorite and I completely get why. In the words of Hades, I get it. I got it. I got the concept. But I just personally don't vibe with him.
Mostly I think it's because I've known quite a few people with his personality/archetypes in real life who were just absolutely awful, and that colored my opinion a lot. It's a fun concept for a character, very not fun to deal with in real people. Which, tbf, would be the same for pretty much all of the Twist boys. But as a nerd and someone in a very quote-unquote 'intellectual' field of work/education, I have met too many people like this.
But as like, an aside on top of that bias, I can tolerate most traits or flaws in other people, in real life and in fiction. My one, personal, irredeemable, nitpick is hypocrisy. Everyone comes from somewhere different and has different experiences that shape your values and ideals, but the second you start being a hypocrite, you're just proving that it's not the values, it's you being a dick. Idia for a lot of his vignettes etc. is incredibly judgemental of his classmates, while simultaneously lamenting how everyone would judge him for his interests. You don't get to be a dick to people and then be all 'uwu no one likes me' when they call you out on it. Like in the Ghost Bride event! Everyone shows up to save him--intentions entirely good or otherwise--and he spouts off enough ungrateful/mean comments that it turns into all of them basically being like 'fine go die :)' I remember thinking it was the funniest shit, and it was definitely meant to be a comedic moment, but the problem is that he never really recovers from those moments. It's always him being a dick, inevitably getting roasted, and then that's... sort of it.
His one redeeming trait in my opinion is Ortho and his obvious love for him. But like, even that gets tainted a lot of the time. Like in Ortho's vignette for his robes or whatever, he gets so excited to go to the opening ceremony! And when shit goes tits up, Idia just like... refuses to interact with him? To the point that the groovy image is Ortho pressed up against the door just... waiting for him? Ortho would give literally anything for his brother, and yes we're told Idia feels the same, but more often than not he still puts himself first. I'll give my disclaimer that I haven't read Idia's book. I know the gist of what happened to the OG Ortho, but like, I don't have the details. Maybe it gets better. But for the most part, until that book, all I'd really seen was things perpetually working out for Idia whenever he needed it (every event he basically gets what he wants--the new years bags, the wishing star, etc), while never having to deal with the consequences of him being nasty to other people and then just going on to complain more. Which. Ack. It just personally rubs me very much the wrong way.
Again, I completely get his appeal. His character design is absolutely gorgeous and sometimes the guy says some genuinely funny/unhinged shit. My favorite characters have literally tried to kill people and I'm sure drive some people into an absolute rage, so like, no judgment here. He is just very much Not My Vibe. At least, not at the moment. Maybe it will get better in Malleus's book.

favorite color : purple, red, black

inspiration : goodreads quotes on different topics, all addams canon material, this one wednesday addams playlist, edgar allan poe's work (got a complete tales and poems and i randomly open it and read for inspo), my own past experiences (be it information from uni or stuff i've experienced), witchcraft i grew up with, horror movies
story behind url : previously woednesdayaddams, after a while i found it too long so i switched to a shorter version. miercolaes meaning wednesday but in spanish and tbh it was easier to remember since spanish is a latin / romance language (fun fact in my language wednesday translates as miercuri, but that was already taken and didn't fit with the addams lore)
fun fact about me : the reason i'm currently studying marketing is because i know i'd be godmodding irl had i chose security studies (think cia but for another nation) or probation. i've seen enough movies to know how it'll end. like i wouldn't imagine being professional if i had the ta.te brothers in front of me. they also managed to get arrested again so there's that.

5 books and 5 fics
@waxwing-saint You tagged me, let's go.
Books
On Earth We're Briefly Gorgeous by Ocean Vuong. Probably the first novel I read by a poet and I've been a sucker for literary fiction ever since. The prose is undeniable, every line a quote to remember. This book and Ocean Vuong did not just make me appreciate language and word choice, they smacked me upside the head with it.
Crush by Richard Siken. This is technically a poetry collection and one of my favorites of all times. There's so much yearning and pain and the imagery is unmatched. As Louise Gluck puts it beautifully, "this book is about panic." Even if the word is never mentioned, the condition never described, at the heart of all of his poems, without ever mentioning it, is this common thread of panic. Every time I see a quote by Richard Siken, I feel a little more understood.
The Bell Jar by Sylvia Plath. Speaking of panic, I had my first existential crisis at 3am because of this book. Needless to say, I cannot recommend it enough. I did not expect this book to be so relatable, having been written 80 years ago, but it perfectly describes what it's like to be a young to mid-twenty something year old in New York City and becoming jaded about all your possible potentiality ahead of you while being drained by capitalism. Sylvia Plath is just like every other girl and she gets it.
Our Wives Under the Sea by Julia Armfield. God this book. I could not, for the longest time, put my finger on what it was about this book, that made it so soul-wrenching. Literally changed my brain chemistry. It took me three months to finish and probably another to digest. Incredible subtle story telling with masterful prose. Will be looking forward to anything Julia Armfield writes in the future.
Eros the Bittersweet: An Essay by Anne Carson. Honestly, it was really hard to decide which Anne Carson book to put on this list (I couldn't not include one). No one has influenced my writing and reading more than this genius of a woman. If we're talking master of prose, look no further than Anne Carson. This book in particular digs into such specifics, it's an incredible pleasure to see how her logic turns. That said, it is not an easy read. None of her essays or poems are. I will definitely need to re-read every few years and I'm looking forward to it.
Fics
The White Queen Running by KL_Morgan. "I'm sorry my love isn't sweeter." If you're a Clexa fan, you know the quote, you know the fic. Unmatched soulmate au and it has my favorite trope of all time, Azgeda!Clarke! I used to re-read this fic every three months. Do yourself a favor and read it.
A Different Landing by RhinoMouse. Speaking of Azgeda!Clarke, this trilogy had me in a chokehold for all of 2019 and 2020. I cannot count the amount of times I read this fic. RhinoMouse are aways amazing at writing intrigue and political systems and this work definitely shows that.
The Magician's Assistant by RhinoMouse. Another one by RhinoMouse. It's Clexa HPAU, where Clarke incites a rebellion to fight against pureblood prejudice. The worldbuilding is elaborate. I binge-read the entire fic in 7 hours and watched the sun rise. Clexa barely even interact in this fic but that's how good the worldbuilding. Haven't read it in a few years but the fic is still vivid in my memory. If you're into pureblood politics, this one is for you.
Ballads by @lipzlipzlipz. I will never recover from this. The perfect tragedy. I truly don't think I've seen better. Every chapter, every update, hurt in different ways. A masterclass on angst and storytelling. Chekhov's gun is locked and loaded.
the dreadful need in the devotee by IllyriatheSmurf7. Watched the movie POALOF and needed more? This fic is for you. I feel like I learned a lot about how to write tension in a story from reading this fic. The writing just flows.
Special fic mentions because choosing only five honestly hurt:
We court our own Captivity by heart_nouveau. The best canon AU Sansaery fic.
the seven stages of intoxication by theprincessdiarist. The best canon AU meddison fic.
Thick As Thieves by ur_the_puppy. I am astonished by how much wordlbuilding and plot was put into a two shot. Love re-reading it. Clexa.
fine dining by levlinwinlaer The best chef AU i have read. POALOF
Break Slow by SloMoRevolution. Clexa theater AU. The writing is SO GOOD.
Forgetful by The Last Good Name. I don't even ship Regina and Emma but my friend recommended this to me and I have not read a better amnesia fic.
a little too late by gayornay. When this first came out I was inconsolable. I read it like ten times in a span of a week. It's short, it hurts in the right spot. Clexa.
Saving Souls & Healing Hearts by BatwingLawyer. Classic Fleurmione fic.
tagging:
@itcanonlybehumanerror wolfie, you are not exempt.
@gr8kayt curious about your recs!
@indiefoxproductions can you even read?
