Even if Kristen needed to hear what Tracker said, harassing the girl you dumped MONTHS AGO to see if she'll be okay with you posting your new girlfriend is wild energy???? And then to blow up because she wasn't what? Excited to endorse your cool new girlfriend reveal?? Not, let's be clear, that Kristen said no. In fact she distinctly reminded Tracker that this shit wasn't even necessary. She admitted that she wasn't in the headspace to be happy about it but it ultimately wasn't about her. It's the most mature thing Kristen has said potentially EVER.
Like, I cannot for the life of me figure out how Kristen saying "Hey, do what you want, it's truly not my business or main concern right now" in any way segued into Tracker listing off a bunch of Kristen's flaws and mistakes.
"Kristen needs some tough love!" Maybe not from a person who hasn't even been in the loop for the last several months? Maybe not from her ex who called for completely unrelated, selfish reasons?

god i can’t even begin to imagine the collective mental breakdown the entire zenin clan had the moment they found out their precious ten shadows user was sweet for the vessel of sukuna.
they probably still blame gojo for that somehow.
They would lose their shit.
It’s hard enough to overcome their own personalities (and sukunas annoying internal monologue) to get together. But the second they have the worlds most repressed movie + coffee date with a very confused Kugisaki riding third wheel the Zenin want yuuji fucking dead. People keep trying to get megumi to date his aunt instead so they can produce children. His aunt is a mean lesbian. He does not want to date his aunt. He super doesn’t want kids with her. He wants to date this kind himbo who is Strong and Fast. Legitimately yuuji ends up with a bounty on him on one of those sorcerer assassin websites, but the bounty is so low that it offends Sukuna on a profound level, who feels he specifically is worth more. Not yuuji obviously. Fuck that kid. But he’s a package deal and he’s worth so much fucking more.
It ends up being a nonissue. They’re not really sure why.

ace's death might be the biggest thing fans regularly retcon in op fanworks and that's probably because ace is one of the most loved characters in the whole series but i was thinking that a huge part of why people can't just accept that it was a necessary evil and move on is that ace died without ever knowing sabo was alive and sabo got his memories back only after it was too late to do anything about them re: ace. by people I mean me. I find that unacceptable.

I've been trying to put this into words for a while now and I think I might have something -- most of the time when people examine storytelling tropes, especially experts in a related field, especially historians and medical professionals, they are setting out to disprove the trope.
Even if they're not, once they find some evidence that the trope doesn't work in real life or isn't how it was done historically, they often expect that to be the end of the conversation. Historically, people did not go adventuring with two-handed greatswords strapped to their backs -- and therefore you should not have it happen in your fiction, and the conversation ends there. In real life, having a character get hit so hard on the head that they pass out for several hours would demand immediate medical intervention and likely cause permanent brain damage -- and therefore you should not have it happen in your fiction. End of discussion.
These people fail, I think, to understand the reason these tropes exist. It is not because people are just uneducated and think that's how things work. In fact, I would go out on a limb and say far more people are already aware of these things than these experts assume. The attraction of the trope doesn't come from the belief that it is accurate.
These tropes exist because it is widely agreed that they are cool, sexy, emotionally fulfilling, narratively convenient, or any number of other things that really have nothing to do with whether or not they are accurate to reality. I'm not quite sure what it is about most of these experts that makes them unable to understand that, or unwilling to play the game that the rest of us engage in, where we all quietly pretend that it does work because it's harmless and enjoyable.
Really the only people I've ever seen who understand that and try to work their own expertise on the subject into the tropes in a cohesive and satisfying way are Shadiversity on YouTube and blumineck on here. Both in the martial arts categories, which ties mostly into history -- I've yet to find a medical professional online who's willing to play the game.

out of all the things i expected from seven kings must die, an explicitly queer relationship between the king of england and his most trusted adviser was not one of them
