I know the full arsenal update is out and hype for that but I just found the gutterman's poem in 7-2 and I HAVE to type about it because its night where I am and I cant wake up my friends to rant about Ultrakill.

Anyway, absolutely indescribable how we have the thoughts of a machine just laid bear in a secret for the first and maybe last time. The fact that a machine made for merciless slaughter could not only feel sadness for the person powering it but also WRITE a POEM? A machine made art??? The knowledge that they understand how cruel it is to make a human a blood battery, recognize it as torture, but also feel gratitude for the life they've been given?? It was known that machines had a sense of aesthetic from Swordsmachine and Mindflayer's entries but. Goddamn. The gutterman refers to the human as their mother and it states it CRIED when it crushed her skull as it hoped it would redeem its life.

Also the excerpt, "I know I know you would hate me so, and mother of me, I do too." Does this mean the Gutterman hated itself as much as the human? Did it hate the human instead along with the feelings of love and gratitude? Probably the former. Gutterman angst is so in.

V2's mannerisms and Swordsmachine's data entry are intresting, but a gutterman's eulogy for its prisoner and its attempt at redemption is another level. Actual machine thought process recorded!! Sapient lifeform that knows only war and death! The fact that the gutterman crushing the human's skull seemed to be out of mercy. Ough.

Noone has to interact I havent proof read this I am just RANTING this is CRAZY HAKITA HOW COULD YOU AND THE TEAM DO THIS

#ultrakill #gutterman #I dont post my own things like. ever. But I NEEDED to get this off my chest or something Very Normal was gonna happen (I would explode) #midnight ranting. why does the blood bot on hell game do this. they cant keep getting away with it. #i dont even know if the human was a woman in a literal 'mother' sense but I think the gutterman was being metaphorical since yknow #the final part of the poem reads that the human's final thoughts left long ago so Im not even sure if it was a mercy kill #or the human died in the coffin and the gutterman tried to atone by crushing the head post mortem

Jon was definitely a terrible handwriting kid who would look at the other kids and wonder when his handwriting would magically be neat like theirs and Martin was a round neat little letters, first to get his pen license kid

#tma #the magnus archives #jonathan sims #martin k blackwood #you can imagine jon being so self conscious about his handwriting #being like they're all gonna think im unprofessional #cause they cant read my fucking scrawl #and then martins is like perfect #and he's seething #but later #in somewhere else #he asks martin to handwrite some of his poems #to hang on the walls #cause its pretty #jmart #jonmartin #teaholding

top 5 wips you’re most excited to write? :D

AH …. anon my beloved 🥺🥺🥺 tysm for giving me an excuse to talk about them!!!! i have a whole bunch but here are the ones i’m most excited for/planning to write soon :3 hopefully

TITLES ARE STILL UNDER CONSTRUCTION BTW but if you know where any of them are from you get a big gold star ⭐️

it’s your touch that i need

the best friend’s brother!satoru fic that i’m planning on posting next….. i’m . Unsure if i’ll have time to post it this week but :’3 i’ll get it done!!! honestly i just think bfb!toru is insanely attractive so this is mostly an outlet for that but . i have a plot mapped out kind of… the unrequited love trope is just perfect for him but it’s Me so it’ll probably be less angsty and more funny/bittersweet !!

here’s a snippet from it <3

”you’re a good kid,” he says, and his smile teeters on the edge of something apologetic. mostly, it’s pitying. ”there are lots of people out there for you.” the weight of his palm on your head is usually a comfort, but like this? it’s a specific kind of torture. he ruffles your hair, as affectionate as ever, the same as it’s always been. not a trace of any romantic intent. there are lots of people out there for you. (i know, you want to tell him, but your voice is raspy and your throat feels sort of dry. i know. but i want you.)

hunter, you were human

my neglected mer!sugu fic…… our beloved fish man….. one day. i’ll write it out. i’m having some trouble deciding the order of events + general formatting of the outline so 😭😭 i’m a bit stuck. i’ll get there though!!! this au has angst potential but it’s Me so trust that this will be fluffy and nothing else. lots of banter and cutesy moments. i have a lotttt of thoughts about this au and character/reader dynamic so….. i’m. really excited to eventually write it all out!!! i love him sm :cc

“i don’t really like freshwater.” … your eyes widen. his voice is silky, smooth, like a silver river running from the forked tip of his tongue; a melodic lilt that makes you think of the lullaby your mother used to sing you to sleep with. a long, slow moment passes you by, like the rocking of a rusty ship. silently, your tongue forms around a bundle of words, your mouth gaping like a fish out of water. staring at the merman in your bathtub. “you can talk?!”

consider the hairpin turn

THE BELOVEDEST OF THEM ALL …… my extremely neglected best friend’s brother!kenjaku fic T_T my magnum opus even . i started writing it out a while ago but had to stop bc i can’t decide how to format it …. i think it’d be best to tell the story through a lot of flashbacks but it’s difficult to decide where to put what flashbacks in a way that doesn’t disturb the flow, yk??? but i do have everything outlined and i’m super excited to finally post it :33 someday… bfb!kenny is the actual loml i have so much lore planned for him. this fic is just a whole bunch of yearning and tension… the tiniest tiniest bit suggestive bc he truly makes me ill.

nervously, your gaze trails towards the stairs. worried, your teeth gnawing at your bottom lip. kenjaku notices. a large palm cradles your cheek; making sure your eyes stay locked onto his own. ”don't worry about him,” he soothes, a rough thumb smoothing down your skin. ”it’s just us here… just you and me. why don’t you take a deep breath for me, hm?” (you do. without thinking. as if your body was waiting for instructions, waiting to satiate this gnawing desire to impress him, make him proud. be good for him.)  “now,” he exhales, in tandem with you, molecules mingling together. “do you want this?” 

only in the next world

ANOTHER DEARLY BELOVED WIP that’s been rotting in my drafts for a while ….. 👉👈 i think that out of all of these fics this is the first one that i wrote the outline to?? probably even before i made this blog. it’s basically just a canon-aligned au where gojo navigates his maybe-possibly-feelings for you, a new teacher at jujutsu high!! sooo really just my attempt to write what i view as a more canon-aligned gojo and his feelings towards love :3 mostly character-centered fluff and slowburn… some office au vibes…. i’m very fond of this reader!! and i love this version of gojo so bad i really hope i can do him justice…

“they’re a softie, huh?” shoko exhales — smoke drifting past her lungs, mingling with the cold air, a stench of tobacco that makes him crinkle his nose. ”they are,” she hums, glancing at him out of the corner of her eye. a dangerously knowing look. “it’s not often someone captures your attention.” gojo smiles. ”is that what it seems like?” he drawls, almost a chuckle. closing his eyes and thinking of you, the fading scent of your perfume. ”well, who knows.” (certainly not him.)

signs of affection

my sickeningly fluffy cult leader geto fic <333 bc i’m spreading the agenda that he is a puppy of a man towards his s/o. this one is just meant to be funny and sweet!! i adoreee the thought of him dating a retired sorcerer with a normal ass job so in this one the reader works at a preschool…. and they’re meant to attend some kind of event for the preschool + is offered to bring a plus one. mild chaos ensues (geto doesn’t want to be anywhere near your non-sorcerer colleagues but he also wants to support you so he’s having a bit of a crisis rn…..) i LOVE this one and i’m so excited to write it out <333333 i think this geto is the most endearing man alive.

suguru blinks, eyelashes fluttering, gleaming under the shallow light of the lamppost just behind him. illuminating the peach-dyed flush dusting his ears, those wide pupils. and his lips, glossy with something cherry-flavoured, soon to curl up into a smile — fond, fond, fond. melting into your touch, basking in your long-sought attention. if he were a cat, you’re sure he'd be purring. he places one big palm over yours, where it rests on his cheek, and he stares. silently, like you’re the only thing worth seeing; dreamy galaxies inside his eyes, all honey and star clusters, leaking adoration. a milky way of love. ”… another,” he pleads, nosing at your fingertips.

#TYSM FOR INDULGING ME ANON!!!!!! #these r all very important to me #anyway im abt to spoil where the titles are from bc i cant contain myself 😔😔 #it’s your touch that i need is a pinkpantheress lyric (song: just for me) bc her music is so gojocoded and ESP bfb!gojo coded… #also the lyrics are very much in tune w the fic and reader being horrendously down bad #hunter; you were human is a lyric from one of my favorite mitski songs pearl diver <333 it just feels mer!sugu coded to me!! #but the song is a lot more somber than the fic #consider the hairpin turn is ofc a line from a richard siken poem <333 bc kenny is sikencoded and this fic is VERY in tune w you are jeff #that’s the name of the poem btw. you are jeff. it’s super good go read it rn !!! #only in the next world is a quote from my belovedest video game disco elysium :3 the full quote is: #“true love is possible only in the next world — for new people. it is too late for us. wreak havoc on the middle class.” #<- which is just. insanely gojocoded #aaaand finally signs of affection is the name of a persona 4 song that i rlly like :3 im not completely sure if that should be the title #but im going w it for now <333 #anyway if you read all this pls know ily. 🫂🫂 here’s your gold star ⭐️ !! #ask tag ✩

Platonic Love

In the garden of platonic love,

Where souls dance in harmony,

Not bound by earthly desires,

But by the melody of empathy.

Each glance, a verse of understanding,

Each touch, a stroke of sincerity,

In this realm where hearts entwine,

In the sacred dance of camaraderie.

No need for vows or sweet caresses,

For in this bond, purity thrives,

A sanctuary where spirits soar,

In the symphony of platonic lives.

Like stars that shimmer in the night,

So do these friendships, bright and true,

Guiding us through life's darkest hours,

With love that's steadfast, pure, and new.

You blamed me. But what is the difference between pulling away slowly and doing it all at once. In the end, we will still end up being the ghost of each other anyway.

Excerpts from a book I'll never write, William

#i cut off my ex because he was slowly pulling away from me... he left me on read occasionally.. #he stopped the conversations we were having in 3 places and limited it to 1... instagram #he used to send me 20+ reels a day which i loved to scroll through but eventually it only ended up being 1 or 2 #and that was destroying me #he was like a kamikaze plane and i- pompeii #i was crying every day... #it was torture... it still is even though i have pulled away again.. completely this time... i cant do this to myself #i can't stay.. but i want him to change. #tags #mine #writer #pompeii #kamikaze #kamikaze drones #kamikaze sensation #writing #writing community #writers #writers on tumble #sad poetry #sad poets #sad poems #sad poem #the tortured poets department #tortured artist #the tortured poets society #words #text #poem #poems

[sualne]

was going through my one piece art folder to see what i could show among all the stuff i havent posted and i found that 'not quite a poem but it's formatted like one, and also lowkey an eulogy-ish' thing ive made after reading chapter 1088, it was meant to be a very artsy comic but i gave up after drawing for five minutes and went into a rant because i was pissed, im putting it under read more:

(obviously, spoilers for chapter 1088, written assuming you know is dead.)

(rewriting the 'poem' here so i can correct the millions typos(and make new ones here)).

The Hero.(you) A son.(his) Did you even try As you watched him die, Was it worth it now? Knowing you'll be remembered as a tale, and not for who you are?

Someone who abandoned his family, Time and time again. Will your death sadden them? Relieve them? Will you be mourned at all?

The government will mourn a tool As they put forward the boy hero against your own. What will you leave behind but misery.

I had hope for a long con, For you three side by side, Generations hating injustice, To stand together at last, Despite everything.

Did you even know what to say once you saw him again, After his brother died in his arms? Did you understand how you killed him just as much as that flaming fist? Do you understand what you've done, Through inaction, Through your absence?

Do you think death like a prison is filled with people you put there?

#my art #described in alt text #as you can tell! i have beef and feels about that guy and the whole situation. its hidden under read more cause 'oh no its a poem cant let #anyone know' and 'oh no i have feelings cant let anyone know that either' cause you know how it is. i was emo when writing this.

[anastacialy]

please dont put violent racists like timidsketch or anyone who equates someone not looking like them to the horrors of genocide (???????? wtf is wrong with that person) on my dashboard

alright, i'm gonna walk you through this real quick, much like i had to clarify for timidsketch. i'd love to just ignore this ask, since this feels a bit like sealioning (trying to start an argument knowing it'll make others look bad) but instead, i'll give you the benefit of the doubt. firstly, timidsketch is not racist, nor are they 'violent,' they simply misunderstood part of a poem. much like you misunderstood her reaction to said poem. not everyone is great at literary analysis. or reading comprehension. this is the piss on the poor website.

timidsketch, in her reaction to said poem, expressed that the genocide in gaza is horrific. and that gaining weight should not be seen as AN EQUIVALENT HORROR to genocide. because it isn't. this, the both of you clearly agree on. however, that was simply the part of the poem that was misunderstood. the poem wasn't saying that it was equivalent. the poem was highlighting that as a contrast, that there is so much more going on in the world than something so simple as the author's weight gain.

genocide (big, awful, horrible) VS. laundry to do (small, easy, a slight inconvenience at worst). simple as that.

you, anon, in your accusations, have also simply misread the post.

#timidsketch is a good person + i love her blog. one scroll through her blog will show you that timidsketch is simply #anti-fatphobia. dig deeper and you'll see she understands that fatphobia is also a tool of racism! intersectionality. wow. #the issue here is just that she reacted to part of a poem that seemed to be fatphobic. that's literally it. #i reblogged it to clarify for her that wasn't the poem's intent. #and you also seem to have GROSSLY misread what she was saying! ironic that your reading comprehension was actually worse than hers! #i'm sorry anon i'm really trying to be nice but this is a very frustrating ask to have gotten #everyone here agrees that genocide is horrific #my only remaining question is whether you (anon) care about fatphobia since you had pretty much no idea what timidsketch was trying to say? #which. no offense my friend but if you don't have any idea about anti-fatphobia have you like ever read a post of mine before? #anyway. i cant stop you from extrapolating an opinion about this situation but my god. please. re-read things once or twice before reacting #asks #anonymous

i need to learn how to write normal person reviews on ao3 because my default review state is to write an entire essay about what i just read, which is FANTASTIC for authors, but half the time i'm reading late at night or i don't have the time to type it up, so instead what happens is that the fanfic languishes for months in my phone's browser tabs as a "reminder" for me to write that review essay i have in mind, but i never get back around to it.

so i need to just make myself write normal 1-2 sentence reviews even though i secretly want to write essays, because writing ANYTHING is ultimately better for the author than me just thinking about it and not actually doing it

#it's like i have so many thoughts and i feel guilty if i dont put those into a review #so i'll wait til later when i have more time to gather my thoughts #BUT 75% OF THE TIME LATER DOES NOT COME AND I FORGET ABOUT IT. #so i need to suck it up and write a regular review or just leave a '<3' or whatever #because the author cant read my mind so i have to say Something #it's a 'something is better than nothing' sort of thing #except i know full well that with more time/energy i could do more. becuase i know more! i just dont have the time/desire to type it then #anyway this post goes out to the poem on ao3 that i've had my phone tabs since JUNE that i never got around to reviewing #bc the first time i read it was on the train while commuting so i couldnt type out all my thoughts at the time #and then i never got back to it. why.
