"Yet. He felt himself swallow thickly, gripping the sides of the sink as a poor way to ground himself. He couldn’t help but feel terrified at the thought of it happening again."

-JJK CHAPTER 271 SPOILERS-

RANT INCOMING

I’m honestly so disappointed with how ts ended 😭 - it just felt so lazy… like pretty much since Choso’s death (Not an exact timeframe, this is just how I remember it) I feel like the whole thing has gone down hill.

It feels like Gege has completely lost interest in having a coherent story, not only writing wise, but you can also see a drop in the panel quality art-wise (IMO)

We know little to nothing about SO many characters.

-Yuji’s Domain Name

-Megumi’s Complete Domain

-NO SUKUNA BACKSTORY, like WHAT?!??

And even though Gojo isn’t in my top 5 characters, the fact he was just FORGOTTEN??

No funeral, no mourning, in 270 they were ragging on him for what he didn’t do during the fight w/ Sukuna 😭

Like not even a LITTLE sympathy? Nothing from Megumi - Gojo pretty much RAISED him.

Idk… I’ve seen arguments like ‘Gege is put on such a tight schedule! He needs to figure it all out in a week!’

While I agree that being a Mangaka is HARD - as a writer myself I understand writers block and everything, then having to draw on top of that… it’s tough.

…But did Gege not plan out his story before writing…?

As I said, JJK had such a strong start and middle. I LOVE the culling games arc and I am beyond excited for that to be animated… but I can’t help but feel the ending was lazy.

And to reiterate again, Gege left out a shit ton of stuff… and then him trying to make up for it with 270 which was just a history lesson that no one asked for - a history lesson about 200 chapters too late at that… and with Mei Mei??? Cool ig?

I love JJK with all my heart, don’t get me wrong… but the story is ass 😭

And I can’t help but to compare it to shows like BSD (which, in fairness, is Seinen not Shonen, though I feel like the early seasons of BSD and the current seasons of JJK are pretty comparable… and this is strictly comparing the BSD anime, not manga…. Also, I’ve not finished BSD - halfway through s4 - but my sister LOVES IT, so I feel like I’m somewhat qualified to bring this up… maybe??)

The characters in BSD are so complex - their relationships, their personalities and their actions… we know a good chunk about most characters on the show - and it’s not like it’s ending anytime soon (AS FAR AS I KNOW - could be wrong) so what we don’t know we’ll find out, right??

The power system is decently understandable - to me at least - and the writing does a good job of telling the watcher this, without having to just explain it - like in 270.

My point is- BSD took time in crafting its story, its a monthly manga and there’s 40 or so pages per chapter… and I’d much prefer waiting and getting an in-depth story than whatever the hell this recent chapter was.

Anyway… Honestly I’m still just sad abt Sukuna getting turned into a FUCKING BLOB.

WHAT. THE. FUCK.

Kugisaki saying ‘Rolling out!’ was my final straw.

I didn’t proof read this so if I said something completely wrong or off topic… ehhh, wouldn’t be the first time.

Thanks for listening to my TedTalk… and idk maybe read my ao3 I have some pretty okay stuff on there.

"He turned, forcing himself to begin sprinting, the clunking of the robots patrolling growing quieter as he escaped. He would hear what Medic wanted to say.. he had to."

-'If you had asked Itadori Yuji an hour ago what a ‘Special-Grade Curse’ was, he would’ve assumed it was something from the manga he’d read in his free time.

He would not say it was a grotesque blob of flesh that had just tried to brutally maul his friends.'

An Alternate Universe where the King of Curses' fingers were never preserved after his defeat, leaving behind only his few clan members and his cursed energy.-

"And he’d be lying to himself if he said he didn’t enjoy the eccentric German, maybe more than he’d like to admit..especially for a kraut."

If you see this on your dashboard, reblog this, NO MATTER WHAT and all your dreams and wishes will come true.

Do you roleplay?

I used to a ton, and still do on occasion! ;) (Fully assuming this question is coming from the tf2 fandom)

no bc does anyone remeber that one animation about edgy mario and he hung out with punk rock daisy and like fcking waluigi?? 10/10 art, mario was SOO a grunge music snob

I'm a believer of the idea that Mario had an edgy phase as a teenager

And he was so ashamed of it that he completely turned himself around into the wholesome little dude we all know and love

Favorite/Best Soulmate Trope?

I'm working on a Soulmate AU fic currently, and for once I'm deciding to plan ahead LMAO I've read a lot of Soulmate AU fics in the past, and I'm not sure which one to go for with my fic - as well as the fact I'm generally curious to see what people think about Soulmate AUs & the tropes VOTE AWAY, I'm excited for the results ;)
