oh fuck life is worth living isnt it. shit

based on meme I saw

"Absolutely no one comes to save us but us."

Ismatu Gwendolyn, "you've been traumatized into hating reading (and it makes you easier to oppress)", from Threadings, on Substack [ID'd]

the most annoying people are people who don't understand storytelling. they be like "oooo how convenient that this thing happened to the main character in the very beginning". yeah no shit. that's why the story begins here

today I used the phrase "breasting boobily" in casual real life conversation and everyone was shocked asking how I came up with that and I had to explain it. ive been at the devil's sacrament so long that I forgot he wasn't god

Tough

AU concept where Nanami is a knight and Gojo is royal but like it’s deeper than that

So the Gojo Kingdom had a prophecy of a princess with snow-white hair and glowing blue eyes who would be the next Six Eyes and Infinity user, but uh oh Satoru was born instead of a princess, so his parents parade him around as one and call him Satori. Nobody sees his face behind his veil (that part of the design mimicking his blindfold). “Princess Satori” was messing around with one of the knights on duty one night and got him to break character by revealing that there is no princess and it’s been a prince this whole time. That knight was Knight Lieutenant Nanami, who Gojo then requests to have as his personal guard

Blah blah blah they fall in love and they get married (they allow this to happen to keep selling the idea that Satoru’s a woman lmao) but on their wedding day, the exiled king of the Zen’in Kingdom, Toji Fushiguro (DON’T ASK HOW THAT BUM BECAME KING 😭💀), sneaks in and kills the king and queen, along with Gojo (so we moved the whole Toji thing to when everyone was a little older because it made sense in this plot). Gojo’s actually alive bc he revives himself with RCT, but Nanami doesn’t know that. And now that the king and queen are dead, and so is Satoru, this leaves Nanami to immediately become the king of the Gojo Kingdom. Eventually, after hiding out for a month and letting Toji think he’s truly gone, Gojo goes out and decimates the guy, comes back to the kingdom, and reveals that he’s been alive this whole time while also revealing that there was never a Princess Satori and that it’s been Prince (now King) Satoru the whole time.

Gojo and Nanami go and adopt Megumi and Tsumiki from the Zen’in Kingdom (as both an act of peace between the kingdoms and also to get these kids outta this place where they’re hated) and then have a redo of their wedding on a very small scale on this private beach that only a few people know about

So the bottom drawing is Nanami after he’s been king for a while and I thought it would be silly to give him haha funny mustache teehee because y’know that’s what medieval fantasy kings feel like to me :) there’s a lot more stuff that I left out but that’s the general gist of it all so far 😁

Lil summer redraw bc I missed him :3

My favorite part of this is op’s tags

every satosugu enjoyer is insane about jjk 0 but what really gets me about it is this panel because not only does it contextualize everything that happened between satosugu in the volume but it's also on the very last page, which i feel changes the thesis of the whole thing. like yes jjk 0 is about yuuta joining jujutsu high and finding his place as a sorcerer, but it's equally about gojo having to face his past (geto) and come to terms with it in order to save his new student

That post that's like "stop writing characters who talk like they're trying to get a good grade in therapy" really blew the door wide open for me about how common it's become for a character's emotional intelligence to not be taken into consideration when writing conflict. I remember the first time I went to therapy I had such a hard time even identifying what I was feeling, let alone had the language to explain it to someone else. Of course there are plenty of people who've never been to therapy a day in their life who are in tune to their emotions. But even they would have some trouble expressing themselves sometimes. You have to take into account there are plenty of people who are uncomfortable expressing themselves and people who think they're not allowed to feel certain ways. It also makes for more interesting conflict to have characters with different levels of understanding.

I wanted to draw this as post Shibuya arc but i will spare y'all the misery

don't let me drown

crying in the club so hard rn
