hii consider this a starter call ♡
‘ no particular reason, just curiosity. ’
on the unlikely scenario that she might’ve been afraid of something, maybe the conversation could’ve led them elsewhere, a place emptied of walls and labyrinths. that was a possibility that the childish part of him wanted to test, a dive into uncharted territory, though the rewards were little in comparison to what had been stirred now, as her soul burned with curiosity and he wondered if it was born from the same star as his. two specks of the same stardust, finally facing each other in the expanse of nothingness.
satoru muses for a moment, voice rumbling in his throat as he leans back in thought. perhaps he ought to give an honest answer. a truth for a truth. ‘ never thought about it, actually. ever watched Shutter? pretty scary if you ask me. i couldn’t sleep that night. ’
not a lie.
nightmares carved out of memories, the unholy mixture of reality and the imaginary specters born from night’s belly, their unchanging shapes stalking about satoru’s dark room. the ache in the back of his eyelids remained until dawn, most nights. others, he simply let the mud engulf him, falling into quicksand, and it felt more comforting than to fight it, because its weight and density was familiar by now. seeing it reflected in a film caught him by surprise — though the graphics were nothing to write home about, the idea of death and regret and all the ugly things clawing their way into the very soul frightened him. more than strange panic, anger seeped through the cracks, the carefully maintained mask of imperturbable capacity.
that is how the head of a clan should be.
well, if suguru ever came back to haunt him, wouldn’t that be petty? it’s a hard scenario to conjure, but the idea amuses him briefly. satoru sips idly at his drink, suddenly too aware of his own surroundings. propping his head up on a fist, elbow atop his knee, he takes notice of her change in positions, now closer, side by side.
‘ hm. you’ve never been curious about me, though. what made you change your mind? want to be besties? i’m sure that would give the old farts real fright. no need to ask them. ’

𝘯𝘰𝘵 𝘢𝘧𝘳𝘢𝘪𝘥 𝘰𝘧 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘧𝘶𝘵𝘶𝘳𝘦 𝘨𝘦𝘵𝘰 𝘮𝘪𝘨𝘩𝘵 𝘣𝘶𝘪𝘭𝘥 getting rid of all the humans & sorcerers who fought against him, not afraid of the greatest curse user since gods only know when. not afraid of the strongest sorcerer by her side, not afraid of the old small - minded people who stand behind the whole grand scheme of jujutsu society things.
like she's playing a game of her own ; like all this doesn't revolve around her, too. like her life is not on the line, like she's not literally in the middle of it all — an upcoming war that threatens her in her restless dreams. puzzle pieces she cannot yet fully put together, so she doesn't say much about what she sees.
neither can she see the smile gojo so generously offers.
sadly.
she would really like to.
❝ oh, i can pay you, ❞ unmei muses, getting up from her spot beside him ; looking at all the snacks in the vending machine. all the lights blocked by the blindfold, all the shades blocked by color blindness. in a way, they both see too much and not enough. ❝ sweet treat? ❞
that usually works, stimulates the brain — sugar turns into energy their brain consumes in milliseconds ; fuels the endless amount of information processed. besides, satoru has a sweet tooth, and more than likely won't see her spitting onto said free little gift.
pun intended. height, prosopagnosia, blindfold. depth of what he says, so many levels of it. seemingly, every conversation they have means something else ; subtext, context, all of it combined to create a different meaning. as she sits back beside satoru, mei wonders : is the infinity of his shielding him from the outside world, or shielding the outside world from him? won't ask out loud. will find out herself.
❝ now i want to know what are you afraid of, senpai. ❞
she assumes there is something. there must be.
❝ and why did you ask me about that in the first place. ❞
(flirting) you look like you bruise really easily haha. i can smell fear btw

still in awe at the constant flow of posts using the same line of "sorcerers aren't heroes in the story" to somehow diminish geto's actions throughout the series which, albeit born from reaching a breaking point after exploitation and misuse of his ability as well as the circumstances in which both he and gojo were forced to grow up into fine killers, it remains true that he killed more than a hundred of people indiscriminately (how convenient it would be that he only chose those who were "culprit" of mimiko and nanako's lynching, right? because there was a reliable way for him to know it right? there wasn't. it was indiscriminate killing under the assumption that not a single soul was free of sin), the murder of his parents who, as implied, were non-sorcerers as well and in order to add value and weight to his point, he considered their status as family didn't exempt them from sharing the same sin as the people in the village: by being ordinary humans they are bearers of cursed energy and their negativity would invariably end up being consumed by him, or the curse would consume someone else, someone like haibara, who was weaker, could be anyone but a sorcerer like him. and the treatment of every other non-sorcerer that he´s come across in the series.
i've mentioned this before in a different blog but i bring it here too: there is no possible way in the main timeline where geto will choose anything else but his goal of total erradication of non-sorcerers, because as a person who needs a purpose, who needs something to live for, the dawning realization that he'd wiped out entire bloodlines in a single night, the emptiness gnawing at him from within, made him seek for something that would justify his actions and he latched onto the first thing that he knew: the only way to prevent curses from being born is either to erradicate cursed energy from humans or the humans themselves. he chose the latter, so it ended up becoming a fundamental part of his identity, giving it up means giving up on himself altogether, it means that leaving everything behind, leaving his one and only best friend behind, the school, his comrades, the killing of his own family, all of it held no meaning at all and he needs it, he needs it to mean something, needs his existence to not have been that of a machine grinding meat for the higher ups to feast upon, that maybe this way he can have the liberty of acting upon his own desires and not those of others who only benefitted from the sacrifice of others. he turned his fangs back at them, and they hated him for it, but he hated himself more because he knows no other way to defend himself from total failure and meaninglessness.
so basically, while he is a victim of a corrupt system, just because sorcerers are not exactly heroes or molded to be saviors, it doesn't mean absolution: at the end of the day, even those who were also victims of the same system did not arrive to the same conclusion. his actions are entirely his own, it's the path he chose. he doesn't wish to be forgiven, he doesn't think to force others to follow. does the snake ask for the mice's forgiveness? does it expect it? it does not, it is hungry, it doesn't know any other way to eat but this. and would you tell the mice, the snake is misunderstood, it is hungry. would it make sense to them? silly metaphor because animals hunt by instinct but truth remains relatively the same: he knows what he can do and what his strength amounts to, and he makes conscious use of it, unrelenting. you can't exactly categorize him as anything else but what he is: a curse. the worst curse user.
phew... almost done setting up this blog. just need to tweak a few things here 'nd there.
geese I will never not hype you up— your writing blows me away. Your muse of metaphors and prose is so pretty that sometimes I sit there in awe because how did you form words like that. This goes for any and all of your characters, and I also love that you’re not afraid to play the worst of the worst— and still make them so enjoyable / make the reader root for them / wanna know more
You wwould root for geto... Me too. Find me donating to his cult like it was OF. Heeellppp this is one of the biggest praises 😭😭😭 especially coming from you who write Vein and got his madness right from one helppp I honestly love that you don't shy away from exploring these aspects about your crazier muses honestly tysm for ur words villains are my top favorite thing to write 🙏🙏🙏 @12reset
gave it some thought and shipping with gojo is ok, i just don't think i'll be doing m/f shipping bc i really can't see him with a girl😭
“ can you host a hassle-free party? one without noise. ”
‘ can you play one of your rhythm games without thumbs? ’ gojo scoffed dismissively, the absurdity of the question so comical it almost makes him laugh. almost. ‘ you stand by this statement? doesn't matter, don't answer me! you just have to be there to understand it. parties without noise are an inexistent equation. need a quiet place? tell qiao ling to bring you a crib, you crybaby. can we get going though? these drinks are getting warm. ’
