After Much Debate, I've Decided To Make An Art Blog.

[scene from chapter 4 of frostbitten by Neyasochi]

tengen is sukuna's mother

It's time for me to do something. Let's start with this page, aka one of the only times we see Sukuna mention Tengen directly in the manga. We see him eating his old body, which is now a shinbutsu mummy. This state is achieved only via *extreme* fasting which will keep the body-

what's the takeaway here

We know that Sukuna should have been a twin, but was forced to eat him to survive due to starvation from his mother's womb. My theory is that Tengen is Sukuna's mother, which is exactly why he called the act of eating his old body that Tengen had conserved with her ironic

He was eating "Himself" because of her again, and not only that the "himself" in question was left in a state of extreme starvation, tying in to the first time again. Imo, this scene, is Tengen expressing desire to feel close to her son, even just by looking like him, because

-she couldn't give him even a smidge of the motherly love he should've had due to her being deeply plunged in her isolation and buddhist practices, only idly watching the world unfold, which deeply infuriates activists like Kenjaku and Tsukumo Yuki

And what Sukuna undergone before being born was akin a gu ritual, and the Culling Game is like a gu ritual too, where the strongest survives

"With this theory in mind it gives another layer of poetry to Yuji and Sukuna. Both were abnormal due to their mothers, both were too strong to relate to others, both bear the spiral of curses in their eyes yet the path they chose were fundamentally different"

Been itching to draw gojo for a while

Sketch under the cut!

Little sketch (before bed?)

I want to ink this,, but I'm,, very scared,,,,

All these commas,,,,,, is just me sweating,

Save this precious Virgil before I ruin it

"nothing is real atoms never touch each other youve never touched anything in your life" ok. well when i pet my dog he is soft and when he licks my hand it is wet and that is far more real to me than whatevers going on at an atomic level

vampire hunter? no i said vampire HAUNTER. this jerk sucked all my blood out so now i spend my afterlife knocking over shelves and scaring off potential victims and just making the castle generally pretty cold

"What's wrong?" "Am I.... Am I a bad kid?"

“Oh…oh, sweetie come here,” Damien sighed, pulling Remus onto his lap. “You’re not a bad kid, I promise.”

“But I got in trouble again at school today…Roman never gets in trouble. Mrs. Johnson said I should b-be more like him…it’s cuz he’s good and I’m bad, isn’t it? I’m the bad twin.”

Remus buried his face into his father’s’ shirt, and Damien made a mental note to have strong words with his sons’ second grade teacher.  

“Remus, listen to me,” he said softly, peering down to meet his son’s eyes. “You are not the ‘bad twin,’ and Roman is not the ‘good twin.’ You both are wonderful, beautiful boys who are still growing and learning, and sometimes when we learn, we make mistakes. Those mistakes don’t make you bad. You know what they make you?” 

“What?” Remus sniffled, and Damien smiled at him. 

“They make you human, Remus. The best thing to be.”

“B-but…is Roman a better human than me?” Remus asked, and Damien held in a sigh. “He never gets in trouble at school…”

“Remus, does Roman get in trouble here at home?”

Remus paused, and Damien could practically hear the gears turning in the small boy’s mind. 

“Yeah…“

“Does that make him bad?”

“…no, but I still-”

“Remus, listen,” Damien said firmly. “I don’t care how many times you get in trouble versus Roman getting in trouble. Neither does your daddy, do you know why?”

“Why?”

“Because you and Roman are both our little princes, and we love you more than anything in the world. Okay?” 

A shy yet toothy grin spread across Remus’s face, and he nodded. Damien grinned, then leaned down and kissed him on the nose. 

“There’s that smile I like to see! Now, why don’t you go out and play with Roman? I think he’s starting a quest in the backyard.”

“Can you come out and be the Dragon Witch?”

“I need to talk to Daddy for a few minutes, but we can both be out in a little bit, okay?”

“‘Kay! Love you, Papa!”

“And I love you, little prince,” Damien said, and Remus dashed away to find his brother. 

Damien let out a sigh, and fell backwards on the couch, running a hand over his face. 

“Well, that didn’t sound too good,” a familiar voice came from the kitchen, and Damien looked up, a tired smile on his face. 

“So you did hear all that…I wondered if you had.”

“I figured it would be best if I didn’t butt in while you were talking,” Patton said, fully emerging from the kitchen and sitting next to Damien on the couch. Damien leaned his head on his husband’s shoulder and let out a sigh. 

“I am going to send the rudest letter to that Mrs. Johnson,” he growled, and Patton tutted, reaching his fingers up to massage Damien’s neck and shoulders. 

“I understand the temptation, my dear, but you don’t want to say something you’ll regret. Why don’t you let me handle it?”

“I’m just…loathe to let her keep treating our little prince like that…”

“Oh, don’t worry,” Patton said icily. “I won’t go easy on her, not by a long shot.” 

Damien laughed, and kissed the side of Patton’s head. 

“Maybe you ought to play the Dragon Witch today.” 

Patton chuckled, and the two of them sat in silence for a moment, taking in the calm that came over the house any time the twins were outside.

“I am very proud of you,” Patton said after a time, looking up at Damien. 

“Oh?”

“You did really well with Remus. Really, really well.”

“Thank you,” Damien mumbled, and Patton smiled. 

“I know you think you’re not cut out for this whole ‘fatherhood’ thing. But I mean it, Damien.” He leaned up and pressed a slow, sweet kiss to Damien’s lips. “I’m really really proud of you.”

The two of them stayed that way for several minutes, snuggled into each other trading the occasional lazy kiss…until the back door to the house burst open and Roman tore through the living room, Remus in hot pursuit. 

“Daddy!!! Remus’s is trying to make me kiss a frog!!!” 

“Papa!!! Roman is refusing to break the witch’s curse!!!” 

Patton and Damien exchanged glances, then in one motion, they stood up to take care of their little princes.
