his favorite view
i saw a post about how modern tv suffers from the death of filler and it got me thinking about how it's exactly one of the problems i have with jjk: we didn't spend enough time with the characters.
and don't get me wrong, i love them all, but i would have just liked to see more of them interacting besides when they're fighting for their lives, because there ARE tidbits of it and they're so good and they also enhance the story because you get more attached to the characters and the emotional stakes are higher.
the flashback to where yuuji, nobara and megumi mess up gojo's shirt? hilarious, and it makes the scene of nobara's death even more heartbreaking. the part after yuuji is presumed dead, and the room goes dead silent when megumi mentions yuuji taught him how to cook the food they were eating? imagine how much harder that would have hit if we actually saw it.
i want more! i want to see megumi being forced to give nobara and yuuji a tour of tokyo, i want to see them making a mess in the kitchen while attempting to cook something, i want to see hakari and kirara being bad influences on their underclassmen, i want to see choso and yuuji bonding via usual siblings shanenigans, i want to see gojo convincing inumaki to use his cursed technique to pull a stupid prank on nanami, i! want! more!

Well that explains it :v
Something to read :v
Let’s see, to start with I have my 2013 Halloween list and this monster list (featuring vampires, werewolves, ghosts, and zombies). Here are the more recent stories I would add:
Monster Stories
The Lingering Taste of Love (by paeanrela) - Desperately in love with England, a ghost seeks to consummate his love by possessing America.
For Want of the Sun (by Otoshigo) - Dorky Vampire Alfred struggles to maintain his web of lives after a sexy British writer comes to live with him.
The King and Bisclavret (by NoRhymeNorReason) - A werewolf and a vampire meet in the forest. You won’t believe what happens next!
Wolf in Sheep’s Clothing (by lymerikk) - Arthur meets a werewolf and wants to become friends.
A Reason To Hope (by sykron (night_kaze)) - “Ever since the dead arose, Arthur had never once believed that things would get better. And then he met Alfred.“
Death in Two Parts (by paeanrela) - After many strange and frightful dreams, Arthur isn’t surprised when the vampire finally finds him. Warning: character death!
Creature of the Dark (by Hannaadi88) - Alfred is a demon who wants to be human. Arthur is the demon who loves him.
Align (by RobinRocks) - Nations are monsters who devour each other. And America is the worst monster of all.
Monster Smut
Monsters in the Forest (by snowyfoxpaws) - A detour in the woods leads to werewolf omageverse sex.
Nowhere But Down (by prussium) - Hippie Alfred repays punk Arthur’s kindness with drugs and sex… and a taste of blood. 1970s AU.
Zombies vs Unicorns! (by xx-animeXalchemist-xx) - A silly argument leads to a sex ban and UST. No monsters, but fun sex, so I’m counting it.
Halloween Stories
The Waning (by RobinRocks) - Vampire Arthur and his undead husband Alfred are trapped in a centuries old grudge match between human monsters and monster monsters. Ongoing, but I’m really hopeful she’s gonna finish this one!
Captain America and the Pirate (by societallyDysfunctional) - America can’t resist the sexy pirate at France’s Halloween party.
Halloween Smut!
Dark Knight and the Brit Wonder (by DestinyShiva) - America can’t resist England’s cute Robin costume.
What Happens on Halloween (by NihonBara) - England’s love potions have never worked on America… until now. Dub con.
I got real petty over on the Facebook page and IT WAS GLORIOUS.
Imagine a fic where Wylan was kicked out when his father realised he couldn’t read (so at around eight or nine) and somehow survives in the barrel long enough to befriend Kaz, who is just a year or so older than him. Kaz develops a soft spot for this child who was reborn in the water same as he was, and Wylan essentially becomes his right hand man as Kaz works his way up the dregs and they become inseparable and all that. The rest of the story continues as in canon except Wylan is a bit more of a hardened criminal with less of a conscience and he and Kaz have a closer relationship (+ they’re very protective of each other obviously).
I feel like the Wesper dynamic would be really interesting as well, with Jesper perhaps being the more naive one in this.
SOMEONE PLEASE TELL ME THAT THERE’S A FIC OUT THERE WITH THIS PREMISE BECAUSE I REALLY WANT TO READ IT BUT I REALLY DON’T WANT TO WRITE IT 😭
This looks like what Viktor would post on his Insta :3

when you're serious, I can't take my gaze off you
I’m sorry if this is offensive and maybe I’m just really pea-brained, but I can’t grasp how someone can capture the raw appeal of men with such pinpoint precision while having zero attraction to them. Is it that you exclusively date women, hold a small amount of attraction to men, but just choose not to date them? Sorry if this is invalidating to you as a lesbian in any way. I know my share of being invalidated, given that I’m a bi woman, but I just had to know.
I’m not even remotely attracted to men and I never have been, I’m just a very good writer
on this site i go by shuu. she/her. if you don't agree with me, blocking me is always an option. ship and let ship.
