i don’t agree that gojo doesn’t care. i think he cares, i think what’s happening is affecting him, But he is coping and acting very much like himself; he puts what has to be done before himself and how it’s affecting him. he doesn’t want to kill megumi, he might love him, but we have seen before with geto that it doesn’t matter whenever he loves someone or not. if he needs to kill them then he will. he’s fighting for a better future for others, not himself
so yeah, i don’t know why people are mad at his reaction to nanami’s death or the megumi sukuna situation. this is gojo’s whole life, this is how it’s always been for him. he is used to it and he puts what has to be done before himself or what he would want

jjk s1 and s2 spoilers
caught up to the jjk anime this week and damn, hits hard
Animation is stellar, the characters are really fun, there's themes that really hit me hard and godamn the ending of jjk 0 actually made me cry, like tears were shed. I understood why my brother loved the movie lmao
but rn there's one man on my mind. Gojo fucking satoru
Gojo Satoru is just, wow, what hasn't been said about him? He's certainly a showstopper alright, I know Itadori's the protagonist but my eyes were on Gojo the entire time, season 2 personally was even more exciting with that in mind.
I haven't really had the time to do a deep dive on him, but I do have some thoughts... First, yeah he's hot asf I'll give him that (those eyes of his are on my mind and they won't leave me alone, also props to the english dub for the absolutely feral lines)
but the progression of him as a person is also really fun to see. I'm especially interested in him maturing from this arrogant and individualistic person at the beginning of season 2 to... well, still being that but also becoming a mentor to other people.
Like, that's such a huge step for me because contrary to what his pride tells him, he's come to realize he can't do it alone (I mean, he can at the moment but it's more realistic to try and personally raise these youth with potential so that they may bring about a powerful new generation)
The line about education really hit me and I kept thinking about it these last couple of days. He wants to bring change, but if he's the only one humanity has to rely on, he'll run himself ragged. And so, he takes the time and patience to grow these little seedlings, watch them get more powerful but also watch as they may fail along the journey. Even though he's become a teacher, he's not soft on them at all. It's a fact that if they're unable to keep up with him, they will get left behind. Whether that be in skill, or death.
Other than to raise more powerful sorcerers, I can't help but feel this also comes from a place of loneliness, because Geto left him.
I wonder, how much it will hurt to see his students fall? Because although they are improving at a fast rate, can they really keep up with The Gojo Satoru? Or will they against all odds, with his full support, be able to carry on when he's gone? Despite the uncertainty, he continues to teach.
Though the goal is daunting, seeing him wake up to his students and smiling brought such a warm feeling to my chest, it was so sweet.
Also love how unhinged he can get, like characters who do the manic smile thing never ceases to make me giggle excitedly (Nobara and Fushiguro also knocked it out of the park in that aspect, extremely hyped when they went completely off the hinge and kicked ass).
However, there's one scene that absolutely left me in awe. A beautiful mixture of music and imagery that sent shivers up my body every time I watch it. A scene in which he's shown being a mixture of unhinged, yet so at "peace". The juxtaposition is absolutely beautiful to see.
Fighting against toji, where he was high off his epiphany, he had an inner monologue so quiet, so relaxed and detached from how he usually is, coupled with the same piano tune that accompanied the scenes with him, Riko and Geto in the background. My breath was taken away, my eyes were glued to the screen in awe as the music crescendo-ed, and I couldn't help but think "he's beautiful" splattered in blood, bathed in sunlight and eyes glowing with the most vibrant blue.
After the dust had settled, the three of them lost something that day. Riko lost her life, Gojo started to lose his best friend, and Geto started to lose his moral compass and ideals.
The piano music was called "一緒なら" or "If I am with you/together". I wonder why? Perhaps the first time, it was from Riko's POV, as she, Gojo, Geto and Kuroi were sightseeing for the very last time.
The second time, although Gojo seemed detached from Riko's death, perhaps he genuinely cared for her, so much that he'd mourn in his own way.
The arc started with Gojo carrying Riko in his arms
The arc ended with Gojo holding Riko's dead body as the crowd celebrated her death.
He started to lose it, even asking Geto if he should kill all of them. Funny how the tables have turned.

i need to reread sea glass garden so this question might be a little all over the place bc my memory is lowkey selective (which is so embarrassing for me as a criminal justice student but whatever)
BUT are you going to add more lore to megumi’s CT? because i was reading your asks and i love your point on how the ten shadows is the antithesis to the six eyes. that’s just poetry to me. especially your point about the domain expansion—
AND SPEAKING OF DOMAINS. i have no idea how gege’s little fucked up jujustu world works anymore but when megumi was suffering in his blindness and was about to fall asleep thanks to gojo little “lemme knock a bitch out but gently…” technique, he said something about “it’s a garden” — does this have to do with his domain expansion? like is he just chilling in his domain but like suffering?
was this his big moment where he was like yooo the abuse did fucked me up but it had some perks. whenever i’m feeling less suicidal because i met a cute himbo boy, i could fuck around and try a domain expansion. an incomplete one but a win is win. (the manga needs to get it together bc i need to see megumi’s domain completed already..)
We’ll get more lore about his cursed technique in it.
I will confirm that the garden line is about his domain expansion and that Gojo realized that’s what was happening the second megumi said it. Maki didn’t because she doesn’t know it’s called the Chimera Shadow Garden. That’s a Zenin clan secret.
Megumi is currently stuck in his own domain, but it’s hostile to him. Normally, he’d be completely comfortable and in control of it, but his own cursed energy is attacking him. He’s its victim right now.
