This With The Musicals Are Timeloops And How Sometimes We're Not Forced To Stay In The Loop But We Choose

Hamilton x JJK

This is 1000% brought on by me consuming those edits again, but Burr and Alexander are Satoru and Suguru if Suguru didn't defect. Hear me out, Hamilton didn't know how Burr felt. The inferiority, the jealousy, he to an extent always considered him a better half. In the musical we witness how excellent he was, leagues above everyone else, not cut from the same cloth, yet we have the musical because people never acknowledged him compared to some other founding fathers. Akin to how Gojo didn't even get a funeral, he altered the balance of the world when he was born just to die the same as you and I. Burr truly never held any ill will towards Hamilton in the beginning, their paths aligned, they became acquainted, but he did not excel. If it's sad that a founding father's legacy is a musical, is it not sadder for Burr to be remembered as the man who isn't Hamilton? If Geto had not defected but still harboured the same feelings and went through the same trauma, yet saw Gojo overcome and "win", then what's the difference? I think when you take songs such as 'Wait For It' or 'Non-Stop' this is better shown. The obsession Hamilton had with writing the same as to how Gojo exceedingly became so far above everyone he wasn't human, he is literally untouchable. He fought, took mission after mission, works 21hrs a day, he could theoretically handle it all alone. How Burr wasn't willing to back up the constitution, how Suguru didn't defect immediately, a year passed. The hatred brimming and boiling, him hoping it'd subside just for the wait to result in a different outcome. How the only time Burr did not hesitate was for that final shot, contrastingly enough, the only time Hamilton did. Satoru has always hesitated in taking Suguru's life, yet Suguru was truly happy when he was away from Jujutsu society. Honestly, JJK is ripe with symbolism, excellent re-read material in the sense that everything comes together so beautifully with certain characters. Gojo's ability being unbeatable, being his only weakness, how him messing with the fabric of reality impacted his life and the consequence of being untouchable. How regardless of the strength he has never got what mattered, just like his domain. Toji deciding to risk his life by fighting Gojo a second time just to prove to the people he hated that he was good enough, yet if he had won that fight there'd be no difference between him and the Zen'in clan. He died for the same people who wished he was dead anyway. And if Geto Suguru didn't wind up hating non-sorcerers he'd end up hating Jujutsu, believing the world would be better with 0 cursed energy. To dismantle Jujutsu can be done in multiple ways, but perhaps the most effective would be to take down the pinnacle, i.e Satoru Gojo. I will one day draft an entire character study and analysis on Satoru (because clearly I cannot shut up and I have too many thoughts), but when SatoSugu were like Lafayette and Hamilton just to technically wind up in the same fate, is post hidden inventory Geto the real Geto or did he die in that fight against Toji? If he didn't, was hidden inventory Geto the fake one and the racist the real one? This is also interesting because say Geto tried helping, pushing it down, not going insane. Would he be Jefferson? Would Satoru be Jefferson? Would Geto/Jefferson view Satoru as Washington?

You could say the trio ended up becoming like John Jay, James Madison, and Hamilton. What with Shoko never being recognized, John Jay recovered after writing four to write the fifth. James Madison writing more than their agreed upon original limit simply by himself but never given value, like Suguru being a special grade that came from no resources. Him having virtually no weakness. And of course, Hamilton going insane and losing everything in the pursuit of his 'dream', I wonder if anyone has ever randomly hugged Satoru and told him they love him. He never had an Eliza after all, fuck did he even have an Angelica? A Maria Reynolds? Yet Suguru had Theodosia. This is such a niche but goddamn do I love to yap.

the scariest realisation that has ever dawned on me since i understood the passage of time is the fact that if our lives were airing as a fictional show for some demographic to consume then that means there are fans of elon musk and donald trump out there, people who unironically write putin x reader fics, have full thesis on why kim jong-un is the way he is.

suguru in love is riptide. he might be indie and rock and punk and goth but he's just a regular guy, that's what he truly is.

Gojo and Nanami

One recurring theme through JJK is how in-universe most people think Gojo is disrespectful, annoying, and an overgrown child essentially. Even if we don't factor in the higher-ups the people around him (Nanami, Utahime) still reflect this. This is very interesting because in-universe Geto is revered before his fall from grace. He was more outwardly polite, respectful, even though many argue he had always had the mindset of being superior, he just took on a different responsibility with it. While I don't agree with that I can definitely see how Geto plays his cards right to not be as 'insufferable' as Gojo while portraying similar behaviour. Now let's look at Nanami, he's a disciplined logical man who adheres firmly to rules, but also ethics and morals. He protects the youth, he can't even bring himself to blame Geto for the choices he later on made because he first-hand understands how horrible jujutsu society is. Why did he go corporate, but it's the same thing there, braindead workers who are simply cogs for people 'above them' to abuse. Who does this impact the most? Gojo. He was a one-man army, he taught, he fought, he barely slept, yet he chose to wake up and do it every single day over and over again. Gojo could've ideally single-handedly handled all curses, ah but he's just a man (human) can't be everything everywhere all at once even if he was the strongest or a god (he's not). Nanami saw how his friend wasn't strong enough to survive in the jujutsu world, hell in the end he wasn't either, so what did he do? He took that out on Gojo. Never respecting the man who's always showing an interest or spending time around Nanami (ruffling his hair, calling him, trusting him). Yet in Nanami's mind, Haibara would be alive if Gojo went on that mission instead. Nanami would be alive if Gojo hadn't been sealed. Nobody would die if Gojo did it all. He knows that isn't right to expect out of someone, hell he doesn't understand why someone who could choose to do anything they wanted and have everything they simply look at, does something as vile as jujutsu. But of course, he's an adrenaline-junkie. We all read about billionaires being sociopaths, only being stimulated by these horrid things, Gojo must be that too.

He fought the king of curses because he likes fighting. He watched everyone around him die and did 'nothing' because he doesn't care. He's a teacher for the shits and giggles, he rescues students from execution and gives them childhoods because he hopes they're strong someday. Fuck Gojo could bleed and he'd marvel at the colour contrast, if he cries he'd bottle the tears to sell, if he dies he berates his entire life when he gave you everything. Was that not what 236 was? Then the subsequent arts showing him putting care and affection towards Geto while being annoyed by Gojo. It's one to be annoyed by him, but if you think he's a god you'd respect him. If you think he's morally reprehensible you'd hate him. But to make a martyr out of a live person, to view a living being through a lens to make them superior and expecting them to uphold that, you only do that when you're ignorant and dumb. Nanami is none of those things, to explore the disgusting thoughts and mindsets he showed toward Gojo as time went on due to his frustration at his comrades falling would've been beautiful. Instead, we have character assassination and everyone standing for it.

How would Shoko feel as her longest friend lay in pieces in front of her and she can't bring herself to cry because she doesn't even remember the last time they had a real conversation. She thought about how she should've handled Geto's body a year after the fact, but she just went and let someone vandalise Gojo's?

Fuck you're telling me that the airport had everyone in high school clothing but for what? Was it because it was the first and last time he was a human? And the worst part is this is one of the many unexplored things in JJK, it's so frustrating. I have so many more points about this too, Sukuna and Gojo, Gojo's relationship with his students, the little fun trivia bits about him. And that's just Gojo, other characters also have so fucking much that just, god man. It's like a self-fulfilling prophecy.

the mischaracterization of satoru gojo has plagued me so thoroughly that i'm happy to share his plight atp.

Do you ever think that Gojo is oversexualised by this fandom? His character literally represents loneliness. He craves attention, adoration. But people just find him straight annoying or childish or even egotistical. Deep inside he is just a traumatized person who doesn’t know how to express his feelings and puts on a smile for the world.

Idk, I just wanted to yap about it.

my man is my man with a pot belly and receding hairline!!!

Gentle reminder that if you don’t like every version of Satoru Gojo u are a fake ass Gojo fan. Cause I’ve seen too much shit about this on twitter today. Bye!

Also thank you MAPPA and Gege Akutami (unfortunately)!

I DON'T KNOW HOW TO EXPLAIN IT BUT TAYLOR SWIFT'S ENDGAME WOULD BE SUGURU GETO. I THINK SHE'D ALSO GENUINELY FIX HIM. I HAVE A LOTTA OPINIONS ON ANYTHING, INCLUDING FICTIONAL CHARACTERS' TYPE, AND I WAS LISTENING TO MIDNIGHTS WHEN I REALISED THAT YES, THIS, THIS IS WHAT THEY NEED. SOMETHING ABOUT HIM QUELLING ALL HER INSECURITIES. SOMETHING ABOUT HER ACTUALLY LISTENING TO HIM AND VIEWING THE PERSON BEHIND HIS JOB AND ABILITIES AND THE PEOPLE HE SURROUNDS HIMSELF WITH. NOT TO MENTION THE CHANGE IN IDEOLOGIES THE TWO WILL HAVE WITH EACH OTHER, FOR THE BETTER. SO YEAH IN CONCLUSION, I REITERATE THE FACT THAT TAYLOR SWIFT COULD'VE PREVENTED ATTEMPTED GENOCIDE.

this is how you know timeloops are real. why do i go back to before i lost it all instead of picking up the pieces now? relive every single thing over and over. maybe we just wish parallel universes were real because we're never getting what we want. that's what hurts so good. it's real, it's not fiction, it's art not romanticized, but instead bathed in tears.

"Stuck in the timeloop as a punishment" is cool and all, but stuck in the timeloop voluntarily though? Oh, brother. Stuck in the timeloop cause you just can't move on. Stuck in the timeloop even if you know that it's not real and whatever should've happen already did. Stuck in the timeloop even if doesn't makes you happy. You just can't bear the thought of not being able to see them ever again. Stuck in the timeloop even if you know you should move on. Stuck in the timeloop even if you know they would want you to move on.

But maybe just a little while longer.

PATHETIC MEN 🛐

I was ovulating right before nerdjo became a thing, and now that it's here. I'M OVULATING AGAIN. My need for loser, pathetic men who are really just nerds with a bad rep should be studied. This is a free invite for anyone to yap to me about their hyper-fixation literally for the rest of my life.

Satoru.

I love reading analyses on tumblr (always open to recs), hearing others' thoughts, what they considered. It's a bit sad for certain series because of how something *should* be true but isn't. Sometimes it's far-fetched, but with JJK it becomes a mix of all of these things but also a necessity because of the lack of explanation I feel.

That's not a problem, as long as thematically it's consistent, if a character is repeatedly shown to want to be seen as more than their exterior, the name, the power, etc, we should give it to him. Which is why it's so funny to me that some people revolve his character around fighting, or his upbringing, or Suguru, or Sukuna. It's almost like another point for the self-fulfilling prophecy because we do to him in our world, what exactly they do in-universe. Now I'm not saying that these don't define him, they do. But this man acts childishly with his students even if all the higher-ups and people in charge look down on it. He continues to be completely not-hostile to his hostile colleagues (or friends that have known him for years). It's interesting how he doesn't care too much about hierarchy and respect even if that could benefit him greatly.

Sure he wasn't a cat-loving father or a playboy. Maybe he isn't some cunty twink or a simp obsessed with a man from 10 years ago. He was just him, and his as a character first declaring to win and reinstating that just to lose (with a messy fight no less). Then his peers and students and friends and colleagues disregarding him, even in the last fucking chapter. But worst of all, he believed it, he isn't human according to him, and I can't put my thoughts properly but I need to make a series of long JJK analysis posts or re-write it or something because damn is it taking up my time.
