The JJk fandom has some INCREDIBLE writers and artists and I just felt like showing a bit of love so here are some of my fave Satosugu fics!!!
Audience by @c-valentino
"Three years after the KFC breakup, Satoru caves and visits his old friend late at night with a problem. They are far from what they used to be, but when he hopes they might get a second chance after all, assassins show up to hunt down Suguru."
As you like it by planetarypedxng
"Ieiri Shoko has laid down the law: the three of them will hereafter hang out only at Geto’s place, because Geto is the perfect host, and because Shoko refuses to clean up after anyone, least of all men, and because Gojo’s room always disgustingly reeks of sex.
Gojo had laughed at that, a little too loudly, perhaps, and curiously did not have a single comment about it. What can he say? The truth? That he was still a virgin?"
Falling in love is easy. Admitting it is not. By @ellionwrites
"At 20 years old - sharing an apartment and joint Jujutsu missions - Geto and Gojo are inseparable. But it takes Geto going on a first date for them to start to figure out their feelings."
Two sorcerers chillin' in a hot tub (five feet apart cause they’re not gay) by @hollow-lime-green
"Geto Suguru has almost two decades of practice pretending not to see things that are clearly there, and Gojo Satoru has a well-documented history of being the most socially-stunted motherfucker alive.
That’s how they got here.
Love is in the hands by @thequeenofsarcaasm
That’s also why neither of them know where the hell they’re going with this."
To be a woman by @sadgreekboys
"After getting kicked from his home for being queer, Geto Suguru comes across his old best friend/first love, in a gay bar. He finds a new home in him."
close your eyes (nothing changed at all) by themoonisdead
"Satoru is the strongest. She is a woman. She is not meant to be those two things at the same time.
VIRGIN GETS WRECKED BY BEST FRIEND [FREE PORN VIDS] (18++) WATCH NOW!!!!! By Daisy__dupes
"That day in xx village, suguru makes a call" -what if Suguru had called Satoru for help that day?
Over the Threshold by @fushiglow
(Satoru gets hit with a sex curse and asks Suguru to help him!!!)
4AM by damiselart
"Larger than life K-pop idol, Satoru, approaches introverted record producer, Getō Suguru, to collaborate on his debut Japanese-language studio album. They both get more out of the experience than expected — for better and for worse."
(Tattoo artist Geto and model Gojo. Hot as fuck.)
Post-It Notes by monochromevelyn
"Shoko was sick of watching her two best friends pining for each other. Don't worry, she had a plan to move things in the right direction."
The Two-Headed Calf by malneiro
"Gojo gets a knock on his door late at night: Getou is sick and Mimiko and Nanako don't know who else to turn to."
Vows to Amida Butsu -
" Gojo has a great idea. Geto thinks his classmate should at least ask him cutely instead of just announcing his intent. Consent is important, after all."
and Long Bitter Autumn - both by Daphnerunning and Galiko
"Five years after his best friend left Jujutsu High to become an evil overlord, Gojo Satoru can't sleep. And there's not THAT much difference between a butt dial and a booty call, semantically speaking."
There are so many amazing satosugu fics and most of the writers listed here have multiple incredible fics but these are just some of my absolute faves!!!

JJK Manga leaks - Heavy spoilers ahead.
Please do not read below the cut if you do not wish to be spoiled.
These are for chapter 237.
I repeat do not read below the cut if you do not wish to be spoiled.
Tumblr media
The pacing of this arc has got me so anxious tbh. It's gotten to a point where people cannot even predict where the plot would head towards and I like it to be honest. It's refreshing (traumatizing) that something isn't predictable even though it follows certain Shonen manga tropes. JJK is such an outlier Shonen. This is a long read, I apologize in advance.
After reading the leaks, I have some thoughts and I have listed them below -
1. Gojo’s death seems kinda pointless right now with Sukuna's reincarnation and reverting to his true form. He literally healed all the damage done by the Hollow Purple. Gojo probably is gone for good and I have slowly come to terms with that. But I need to know what Sukuna's reincarnation to his true form implies for Megumi. From how Twitter and Reddit is reacting, it seems like Megumi also is gone for good now. Everyone clowns on Gojo for being hated by Gege but I truly think Gege hates Megumi the most. Poor baby cannot seem to be catching a break.
2. The fact that we don't see Gojo's body anymore worries me. The fact that we still haven't seen any of our remaining characters react/process Gojo's death also worries me. Worries me because it is giving me copium again and I just have started to accept Gojo's death 🙃
3. We now know Kashimo is going to die when he runs out of CE because he yeeted his human form to fight Sukuna. So Kashimo is not making it out alive in Kashimo vs Sukuna. I atleast hope he damages Sukuna enough for the rest to jump on Sukuna but I doubt that will happen (explained more in detail towards the end)
4. We finally get crumbs of Sukuna's backstory. He was an unwanted child (if the fan translation is believed to be right. I am still going to wait for an official translation because last time the fan translation made us all hope about Gojo's revival way more than it was hinted.). Knowing Gege, I think this is the maximum we will get to know about Sukuna before he became the king of curses. Gege once mentioned in an interview that Sukuna was beyond help and was pure evil. I mean this dude has Uruame cook humans for him. So I don't think Gege is going to give us a tragic backstory for Sukuna.
5. Also Kashimo's line about Sukuna's strength reminds me of Geto and Gojo's KFC breakup line.
6. Hakari vs Uruame. Let's fucking gooooooooo! Beat their ass Hakari!!! I am betting on Hakari winning this. The good guys desperately need this win. Please Gege, just be merciful on us for once.
7. We still don't know what Kenjaku is up to (stay the fuck away from Gojo's body you slimy fiend).
I honestly still do find it weird that Gege chose this route of let's kill the strongest character because he is a roadblock by creating an almost omnipotent character that is absolutely insane and a master strategist. At this point someone will have to turn into Buddha themselves to take Sukuna down. I think the last win we had (if we do not consider Gojo unboxing as a win and the culling games win) was with Yuji and Todo. And Todo retired/left? (I don't blame him though. STAY SAFE MY BOY).
But to summarize the good guys roster right now - Nanami is dead, Nobara is MIA, Yaga is dead, Yuki is dead, Todo has retired, Megumi is likely a goner, Gojo is dead and since we don't know what happened in the 1 month (because we didn't get a training arc), Yuji only has black flash, stamina and super strength right now. The higher ups were probably kiiled/dismanted by Gojo. Zenin clan got KO'd by Maki. Yuta is the only special grade in Japan that is alive. Mei Mei will switch sides like it is nobody's business. Maki is one of the only people who's had an insane shonen level power creep since Shibuya arc. Shoko and Utahime are not fighters.
Whereas the bad guys roster - Uruame with their icy powers, Kenjaku with literally all the curses that Geto had plus several more that he acquired and Sukuna. The fact that Sukuna has a binding vow with Kenny and Sukuna is almost omnipotent rn.
Sukuna abilities :
1) Can make himself immortal by putting his soul into cursed objects(fingers)
2) Can take over others bodies by making them ingest his finger
3) Can use the taken over body's CT proficiently with minimal training
4) Has twice higher CE than the next highest person (Yuta)
5) Has the best RCT on par with Gojo
6) Has a way to revive himself without RCT (such a possibility was not even considered possible in the power system uptil now )
7) Has/Had the 2nd best cursed technique (ten shadows)
8) Has a cursed tool that can shoot lightning
9) Has a flame arrow than can insta kill a special grade curse
10) A way to transfer damage he sustains ,to the soul of the body he inhabits
11) A way to enlarge his body parts (when he tries to eat angel)
12) Has the best durability (sustained 2 purples (probably the technique with the highest damage in the series besides the space-time cleave) a blue infused black flash punch, and unlimited void)
13) An unexplained CT that hasn't been revealed yet.
14) Crazy learning rate able to reproduce anything by seeing it only once
15) Has 4 arms and multiple eyes
16) A barrier less domain - idk if his reincarnation can now do DE
17) Cleave and dismantle for which he can modify the cursed energy output however he wishes.
18) No moral compass or emotional attachments that can be exploited against him.
19) probably has 2nd highest IQ (after kenjaku ) and easily highest battle IQ. Mans not only planned for Gojo but also for after Gojo.
Realistically our protagonists (Right now only Yuji and Yuta) need a dues ex machina moment to take down just Sukuna. And after Sukuna is dealt with, they need to plan for Kenjaku.
The odds aren't looking too good :(
I miss the goofiness that this Manga had lol.

Well... EP 5 was depressing as fuck but the most impressive thing about it was the sound design!
The roaring applause of the cult haunted Geto for a year and the animation showed just how much at war he was with himself over it. He did his best to not waver but that PTSD Sound Attack just keeps going.
It starts in the train.
Tumblr media
Surrounded by people, Geto holds on - ignoring that memory of the cult. But, maybe because of how similar the train sounded to the applause, the image of the cult keeps popping into his brain.
Tumblr media
Funny enough, at this scene, the clapping of hands was absent. It was as if, the wrath was still held at bay.
But then we get into the showers, Geto is just alone with his thoughts and the roaring of the shower.
Tumblr media
He is doing his best. "Don't waver."
Tumblr media
But it is still there.
The sound of the water going going down the drain as he showers was a very nice touch. It was as if Geto's goodwill, patience, and mental strength are being washed away as well.
Tumblr media
Geto tries his hardest to fight - reminding himself of his duties as a jujutsu sorcerer. Tragically it was not enough. The shower sounds transitions into the cult's applause and the ugly negative thought crystallizes finally in his mind.
Tumblr media
Side note, the way this scene was done felt like something out of a horror movie. The slow zoom-in to his dead eyes (reminder that eyes are windows to one's soul btw) as the applause rose in volume which ended with the sharp hate-filled word "Monkeys." It's chilling.
Then next time, this transition happens was during Geto's conversation with Yuki which has another excellent use of sound and music because of how it was built up.
Going back a bit tho. Before Yuki, Geto was talking to Haibara. There was absolutely no music. What is present is just a little background noise. So, the sole focus became the conversation between the two students. Like a sponge, the tension of the scene absorbs our attention as listeners.
The silence only broke with Yuki's silliness. There was a goofy sound effect when Geto roasts her. It was a glimpse of Pre-SPV Mission Geto.
Right after that, a light chime bell like sound came in as Yuki explains her search for a permanent solution to the curse problem sorcerers fruitlessly fight a never-ending war with.
Tumblr media
The light chime sound is sweet and nice. Geto has hope after hearing the possibility of an end to the curses. But, the chimes are running back and forth. The fast tempo created tension. Geto was thinking and listening and thinking and then
"Why not just kill all non-sorcerers?"
As soon as he says that, the music stopped and the sound of applause creeped in. It roared louder and louder until Yuki's voice could barely rise above its volume.
Geto is now stuck with the idea of killing non-sorcerers. What Yuki is saying from that point on is no longer getting through him 100%. While that is happening, only then it started raining. So, in essence, the applause started before the rain sounds came in.
Tumblr media
At this point, the sound of rain and handclapping are indistinguishable. It fits since Geto is now in turmoil about what exactly to think and say when asked if he hates non-sorcerers.
Tumblr media
The two sounds just slowly died down when Yuki gave Geto advice. Then, we are back to the oppressive silence again.
I could talk more about this like the fast-violin during Geto's massacre that had a "horror movie" chord prelude in the morgue, the almost "underwater" quality of the villager's voices as they spoke to him about the girls they caged, and even the upbeat OST playing during the KFC Breakup. However, this is already long enough. Maybe next time.
For now, to summarize, there is just simply great sound design in this episode.

I think daily about the KFC breakup and how well the quote « the opposite of love is not hate, it's indifference. » fits with it.
Because Satoru and Suguru weren't hanging out as much as they used to since they were both sent on solo missions all the time.
(Also, Satoru was obsessed with the idea of being the strongest, because as a child, he got told he was all the time. But, despite being the strongest, he lost someone he was supposed to protect. Someone he wanted to protect, and he became terrified by the idea of lacking again. He became terrified of loosing someone because he turned out to not be strong enough to protect them.)
And suddenly, he gets back from an other solo mission, and is told that his best friend – the one that always told him killing must have a purpose, that as Jujutsu sorcerers, they had to protect the weak – killed an entire village, including his own parents.
He wants to talk to him because 'wtf?', but he doesn't know where he is. After getting the info from Shoko, he goes to see him.
And he is mad, because he doesn't understand.
And he is scared – terrified even if we're being honest – because he feels like he's loosing him already, because he hasn't reached out to Satoru directly, because he didn't plan on this ever happening, because he was supposed to be the strongest because he was supposed to not lose anymore people he cared about.
But Suguru... doesn't react. He seems indifferent.
And I'm sure Satoru wished he could talk to him properly. Wished they weren't in the street, the crowd brushing by them, unaware of how fucked up this all is. Wished Suguru could stop for a minute, just a minute, to look him in the eye, and just explain to him, because if he did, then he could help him and everything would be okay. They would be okay.
I'm sure Satoru wished Suguru would take the time. But he keeps turning his back to him, ready to leave as soon as he considers the conversation to be done.
So when Suguru starts to leave, in a last ditch effort, Satoru tries to force him to fight for his life, here, in the middle of the street, because he is desperate. And because Suguru has to react to this doesn't he? He can't be indifferent to his best friend wanting to kill him?
And yet, he his. He turns back around, and leaves him all alone.
And from Satoru's perspective, it just seemed like Suguru didn't love him enough to take the time, because why else wouldn't he give him a proper fucking goodbye??
But, what I'd like to believe though, is that Suguru showed indifference because he was scared to see Satoru's reaction if he didn't. Because he knows Satoru, and he knows how stubborn he can get. Because he knew he wouldn't, and couldn't understand. Because he knew Satoru would try to pretend like it could be fixed, but – even if Suguru regreted doing any of it – he killed an entire village, how could it be fixed?
I'd like to believe he turned his back so easily, not because he didn't care, but because it would have crushed him, to see Satoru's pleading eyes and breaking heart, as he gave him a proper goodbye.
I'd like to believe Suguru's indifference was just a facade, to help make the breakup just a little bit easier for him.
Because Geto Suguru loved Gojo Satoru till the very end, and nothing will make me believe otherwise.
Thanks for coming to my ted talk and reading all of my brainrot.

for both; shokohime, satosugu?
hi circe !!!<33
shokohime
what made you ship it?
i hadnt read the manga at this point and i wanted to see what the f/f scene was for jjk. i was really looking for nobamaki and then i stumbled on shokohime and i was like huh? why? but then i read it and i was like. i dont know anything about this but this shit ROCKS. and then i read the manga and i saw their character profiles and i was like oh!!!! this makes sense !!!! i love them !!! and then again even more with 168.5 cause utahime goes to shoko's!!! they send each other things !! theyre with each other in their hearts !! watered my yuri soul <3
what are your favorite things about this ship?
i loveee that they take care of each other, that theyre i think the only ones confirmed to be really close to each other? that theyre always thinking of the other, like shoko giving utahime coupons and packages and other such things, that they both compliment each other so much :))
is there an unpopular opinion you have on this ship?
i dont think so? oh wait no. i remember reading some post where someone said they hate skhm because they just KNOW its shippers do that so people think they like lesbians because actually shoko and utahime have no personality and the ship doesnt make sense and i was like. from fucking WHERE. i ship it cuz theyre awesome and theyre not boring or personalityless at all. coming from the people who think inuokko is tragic or whatever idk
satosugu
what made you ship it?
this was also a similar thing to shokohime. i saw people shipped it and i was like why. and then i read the manga and i think it was the point where suguru was like 'are you okay you havent slept in days' and then 'im fine. besides, youre here right?' and then again at kfc breakup. later on i stopped because fandom is insufferable but i started shipping it again when shoko said that thing about 'i was never in love with you' because immediately i was like thats a weird thing to say, where did that come from? and then the implications of the way she worded that i was like. woah i forgot i liked them wtf
what are your favorite things about this ship?
i have a soft spot for homoerotic teenage friendships cough cough hanan backstory moment. but i also really like the comedy factor and the pain. its funny that satoru can recognize suguru's scent after ten years. the way they fight as kids and make up is funny. but it also hurts a lot to love someone so much and carry that with you always. even when youre in those moments of love and its happy it hurts to know that this wont last. i have a lot of feelings about their 'one and only best friend' thing.
is there an unpopular opinion you have about this ship?
i hate their twinkification by fandom. i hate it when people interpret satoru as just crying about suguru all the time. i hate it when people somehow interpret him as the emotionally competent one because they both suck in that. i also dont understand why some people think suguru was committing genocide for satoru or that satoru didnt care or excused what suguru was doing. i could go on

Yo that was savage of (Y/N) when she teleported Geto and Gojo to their break-up place. 🤣 And it was a KFC too. 😂😭🧅 I wonder though how did it went down? Aside from the awkwardness I think the staff were staring at them thinking like *How come those two hoes are staying here for so long?* Or something like that.
(Another mini-scene of the Sweet Old Lady is a Witch starring Gojo Satoru & Geto Suguru in their infamous "breakup place".)
THE RETURN TO KFC
"Y/N, this is highly unnecessar—"
"Sit down, Satoru."
"I agree with him wholehe—"
"Don't make me repeat myself, Suguru."
Hearing your warning tone, the two ex-best friends hurriedly sat down on the table with you. They swallowed, momentarily meeting each other's eyes before turning to your aged form.
"Now, I think you know why I've brought you two here," you sighed out, crossing your arms like a mother (or a principal in her office). "While I'm doing all this to help you guys, I also need you to help yourselves. For you two, the simple way is to talk it out."
"I think that we should just leave things as they—"
You glared at him, "I'm not yet done talking, Gojo."
He immediately shut up and looked down on his lap like a guilty child being caught with candy (it looked pretty sad, to be honest). Suguru, knowing what you were capable of, was the more compliant one (he really didn't want you to magic him into like... a fish... or something).
"I will come back here in exactly 12 hours," you told them. "It's 10AM now, so I expect that by 10PM, there would have been some progress with your broken relationship, at least."
"You can't just expect us to fix everything in 12 hours," Gojo mumbled to himself, fiddling with the hem of his pale blue shirt. "That's insane."
"I'm not expecting you to fix everything in 12 hours, Satoru." You raised a brow at him expectantly. "I'm just expecting that you two at least say something to each other! If you haven't noticed, all you've been doing is glance at one another ever since I brought Suguru back. You haven't even spoken a word to each other yet! Zip. Zero. Nada."
If it weren't for the bustling noise in the fastfood chain, you would've heard crickets with how quiet it was.
"... She's right," Geto muttered quietly, finally addressing Gojo and staring at his former best friend in the eye. Behind the dark sunglasses he wore—you had strictly instructed him to not wear his blindfold for this—you could see the white-haired man's eyes widen significantly. "We have to talk."
"See? Progress!" You clapped, standing up and pushing your seat away. "I guess I don't need to be here anymore."
"Wait, what? Where are you going?!" Gojo asked, slightly panicked.
"I am going shopping today! There's a sale for baking products and wheels of cheese just a few streets away," you excitedly shared, sparkles in your eyes. "Toji's already buying the groceries for us, too, Suguru-kun. Now if you'll excuse me, I have somewhere else to be!"
And poof! Before they could complain even more, you were gone.
"... So, hi," Suguru said to Satoru.
"... Hi."
In the corner, noticing that these two were the two familiar customers in the past who seemed like they'd broken up as a couple, the KFC staff would have been like:
Tumblr media
By the time you came back 12 hours later, at least the duo of former best friends were bonding over (arguing over?) a chocolate sundae, a bucket of chicken, and some French fries.
Suguru, while dipping his very crispy KFC fried chicken in warm gravy, gave his somewhat-best-friend a judgmental stare. "Satoru, you don't just dip your fucking fries into a chocolate sundae. It's weird—"
The Limitless user seemed offended. "What do you mean by it's weird? It tastes good! Have you not tried this combination yet?"
"I don't need t—"
(Gojo promptly shoved a sundae-covered French fry into Suguru's mouth.)
"Mmpf!"
"I should order some mashed potatoes for Y/N," Gojo thought out loud while trying to make a struggling Geto eat more chocolate sundae-covered French fries.
"Mmpf!"
Well, at least they were talking now. Progress, right? Mission accomplished.
Tumblr media
With your international super spy skills, Natasha would have been so proud of you. May your Avenger best friend and sister rest in peace, wherever she is.
Tumblr media
(Gosh, I keep writing these mini-scenes and I haven't finished the next chapter yet, lol.)

You're Argentine, and a teacher, so you're basically the only one I know in this small portion of the jjk fandom that will understand this ask. This is something I've seen fans say, even mutuals, and really bothers me
I actually HATE how some fans say they dislike Gojo because "he has the power to change everything like he says he wants to do, but he doesn't do anything! Hypocrite!" "He can just kill the higher ups and restart everything!"
Does it remind you of anything?
Who is Gojo to change everything, more than some rich dude that happened to won the jujutsu lottery (in terms of power)?
I know Gege portrays the higher ups as conservative and shitty, and they are...... But Gege makes Gojo take the correct path, the wisest part: education. You change with education, you make a better future with education
Why should we get rid of a government by force just because we don't like it? Why should he, who gave him the right? Gojo knows that isn't his right to change everything because he disagrees with the current reality of jujutsu society, and that's how it should be! It gives me justification of coups vibes. It's fucked up on so many levels. What do you think?
Those people are being incredibly naive. Even if I know you understand this, I will explain in case someone else is reading this.
The idea that one person strong/powerful enough can fix all problems and create a better world is a naive idea and it shows that person doesn’t understand how structures of oppression works and how politics works.
Regarding Satoru, it is not a matter of will, he just can’t fix things by himself. And all the power he has does nothing because it is not a matter of power or strength. The whole past arc is to explain this idea and in consequence why Satoru chose to be a teacher.
Suguru is a victim of jujutsu society and his violence is nothing more than a radical form of the violence existing in jujutsu society. This is not to excuse his actions, but to understand why he ended up in that particular path, following those ideas.
The irony of Suguru’s fall is that he doesn’t fall for the violence of non sorcerers, but for the violence and injustice of the jujutsu system that pushes him to the verge. Maybe the cult that hired Toji was from non sorcerers, but those who put childrens on the line, isolated them, and used them like tools are the elders of jujutsu society. Suguru fell because of contradictions of the idea that he had of sorcerers’ role (teached by the elders) and reality. Who teached Suguru to kill with no remorse? He didn’t start to kill people one random day, he started killing people because he was teached that curse users are dangerous and must die. Sorcerers teached him that killing was an option in his job and killing the problematic is a solution.
Tumblr media
During the KFC breakup, Satoru realized that Suguru was lost. But his loss wasn’t due to the action of a particular person, but the pressure of a cruel and violent system whose goal is to sustain a hierarchy of power. If it was one person, Satoru could fight that person, but since it was due to a sumatory of circumstances, he can’t do anything about it. That is the meaning of this panel.
Tumblr media
Satoru realized to save young students like Suguru he must change the condition that drived Suguru downhill. But that is something he can’t do alone.
Tumblr media
-
Tumblr media
The first reason is because he is just powerful in terms of strength, he could kill all the people he thinks are problematic and then what? A better world will not be born just because you kill the bad people of the world. This is because the structures of power are normalized in our society and everyone is part of it due the cultural transmission. Even the oppressed one reproduces their own system of oppression and it requires a lot of effort to try to break through. LGBTIQ+ people know this very well and it requiere a lot of reflection and effort to stepaside heteronormative behaviors. The story of the community is not only a story of a fight for human rights, it is also the story of the progresive discussion to think of individuals from a different lense than the one that heteronormativity provides. Something similar happens regarding feminism, the problem of patriarchy won’t get solve by killing all the living men. Feminism reject that idea because is criminal and not aceptable and also because does nothing for the problem. If you kill al the problematic people you will just get a landscape of death bodies and of course you will become a murder, not a savior. I will insist on this idea that “one person can fix everything” is to believe that problems are simple. Shoko will agree with me, since she called Suguru childish for having this same naive idea (he was 17 at the time, but ten years passed and he never got to understand).
Tumblr media
Regarding this idea of “one person can fix everything”, it is clear to me that Gege goes in the opposite direction. Not only with Satoru, but it's also proven that this is impossible to reach with the Suguru example.
The second reason is: Satoru doesn’t have all the answers. He can understand why something is wrong, but that doesn’t mean that he knows exactly how to make this function in another way. For example, we can know that capitalism is wrong but we don't know what system could replace it for good. We can have a general idea of how that system could be, but we don’t have the details to put them on a function like some reestructuracion in a company.
This is a discussion in the field of political science and philosophy. The system creates a subjectivity that doesn’t allow us to imagine new possible worlds. That is why the new social movements create alternatives not from theory, but from action.
Is clear to me that Satoru is very smart but not a political animal. He is absolutely marginalized from jujutsu politics, even if he is leader of a clan he can’t push any of his decisions through cohesive methods, he has to threaten elders to make them accept his wiil. That is why as soon as he was gone, elders went after the people he protected. How a person who can’t play the political game to push his vision of the world — while being in a situation of privilege in the system of power — can assume like the ultimate leader and decide how things will be from now on? He can’t. I know people believe he has a god complex, but actually Satoru is very down to earth regarding his capacities to change things.
Fighting against a system of oppression requires methods for the short term, the middle term, and the long term. In short time Satoru can push his decision to keep students alive, in the middle term he and his allies can push some alternatives methods or even try to change some rules, but in the long term he needs a new generation of people who think in the sorcery world from a different point of view. Because the system will only be finished when no more people reproduce it, to reach the point where no more people participate in it, people must be teached that other worlds are possible. And that is not about indoctrinating, but to give them the tools to think for themselves, to imagine and create a better world for them. Educate for the emancipation of the oppressed. Satoru can’t save people, he just can help them if they are willing to accept his help.

18:14 | kuroo t.
synopsis: tonight, tetsurou thinks of you, and chooses to sink deep in red. (post breakup au, follow up fic to 18:13)
genre: angst UwU | wc: 700+
a/n: new year event! 1/~ (an end to the what-ifs)
Tumblr media
18:14, and tetsurou tells himself he’s moved on. 
the word maybe. perhaps. probably. possibly.
he wasn’t sure, never was, and most likely won’t ever be, for a long time. he tells himself this is just another situation where the words “for now,” describe quite well, but it really isn’t. 
18:15, and i love you. (for now.) 18:16, i’m not over you. (for now.)
a polaroid of you; fingers relaxed against the black and white of piano keys. your smile, twinkling, blinding. his heart beats, the love faint, present. fuck, he thinks. fuck, fuck, fuck. 
it’s still you.
love, as you. kfc runs, the streets of london, piano keys, breathless kisses, crinkled receipts and polaroids of you. 
tetsurou lights a cigarette, rolls up the sleeves of his long sleeves, and leans against the balcony’s railings. beyond the sky, an empty street. traffic lights that flicker in a familiar set of colors. he thinks of you, again. 
love. still. and this time, as he blows a puff of smoke into the air, he knows it isn’t just a maybe anymore. 
when he closes his eyes, he still tastes chocolate on his lips. then sees you, in the passenger seat of his car when the lights turn red. sometimes you stare back, but often times you’re facing ahead, and he can’t help but think that perhaps you’re meant to be somewhere else other than here, with someone other than him.
red lights turn to green, and tetsurou remembers the way he just went without thinking much about standstills. 
he’s stuck now.
18:20, and his thoughts are still of you. tobacco on his lips, but he tastes chocolate when the shape of your lips cross his mind. 
18:21, it’s still you. love, as you, as forever.
he shivers against the cold of the wind and blinks as the yellow of the distant traffic light turns to red. a car rolls to a stop, and he watches, silent. he wishes it was you. 
he knows you’d be drumming your fingers to the song playing, if the radio was on. your center console had one too many chocolate candies inside, but everytime he’d chide at you to get it cleaned up, he always would sneak in a couple bites afterwards anyway. 
just when tetsurou starts to sink deep into his thoughts of you, the light switches back to green and the car rolls forward, accelerating more and more before he could even get the change to think of the word, wait.
a lump catches in his throat, and tetsurou sighs as he realizes the reality that this time, it’s him who’s stuck at red. where 18:14 feels like forever instead of just the sixty seconds of a minute that comes and goes regardless of the chaos or heaven of a situation. 
another slow drag of something that doesn’t taste like chocolate. his eyes follow the car in the distance as it rounds the corner and leaves the streets empty. back at the stoplight, the light’s back to red again.
he knows that you’re probably on green by now. 
a ring on your finger, sawamura next to your name, and a tomorrow that hasn’t been tainted by sin. a future that only knows grace, and hope, and all the things love is supposed to be. a love like sunny six ams, baby brown eyes that twinkle with every smile, and coffee that tastes like caramel. 
he knows you’re happy.
and at the root of it, he is too. tetsurou stares at the empty streets and the flickering lights. red. orange. green. again and again, in a loop that feels more infinite than timed. 
tonight, red means the treasure box of thoughts that are you. a couple years ago, chocolate flavored kisses, blurry polaroids, and love that was--and is--you.
tetsurou smiles, drops himself on the chair in the corner and slumps back with a sigh. 
18:35 but he pretends it’s still 18:14. just for now, he laughs. he’ll let his walls down, confront his truths, and love you like he never broke you. 
like he still has the right to.
(for now.)

It's nice to imagine what HE would do for us if the situation was reversed. If he said he'd rather go on a date with Uraraka at that moment than you, and it absolutely breaks you. Make it up to me, blasty boy 👁👁💥
OOF
I won’t go too into this but for myself I have had a lot of experiences with friends leaving me for other people and made me think I was annoying to everyone I knew. It got to the point that when I made friends with my online friends I actually stopped being depressed all the time because - funny thing - they actually cared for me. I still have a lot of trauma relating to it though as this idea I was too annoying that even though my “friends” wanted to end the friendship they didn’t that they would abuse me so I would end it. This is the main reason I don’t have friends on tumblr because I am too scared that I’ll annoy them. Anyway. If Bakugou said this to me, even as a joke, I honestly would think he grew tired of me and so I would end the relationship so he didn’t have to. I would cry myself to sleep that same day. Bakugou would have to do a lot for me but to be honest, I would probably forgive by 2 weeks.
If you don’t break up with him after he made the joke, you would still be mad. Even if your friends with the bubble queen, having your partner joke “can I fuck this person” really does damage the relationship. If you hate her then yeah, it’s going to put a big hole there. Bakugou can’t take out too much time out of work so I feel as if he would try his best to come home early every night, make you food(or buy your favourite food, mine is KFC) and spend as much time with you as he can. He would worship the ground you walk on and make sure you knew. Clean after you, not ask anything of you, shower with you only to clean you. He is willing to not have sex with you during this time but if you do still want it he will praise you, let you top if you want. He would do anything, you want or need. The last straw is when you find him silently crying over it because he fears his dumb joke is what is going to cost him the best thing he ever had.
If you breakup with him, he won’t do shit for a week. Won’t come into work, won’t eat, won’t talk to his friends. He will literally only stay on your side of the bed and cry. It’s around day 4 when Kirk checks on him and he forces food and water down Bakugou’s throat. The Bakusquad will pull some strings to get bubble queen out of the country so YOU don’t have to see her on the news. They tell Bakugou and make sure he takes the credit later. After a week of not seeing you, he will come over to your new place and every morning gives you your favourite breakfast. He will say that he is sorry and that it was a joke that went over the line and that he only loves you and that he will do anything for you. Now, we all know, Bakugou saying sorry? You, you had dated him, surely knows how hard it takes for him to say sorry, so you probably will forgive around the first time, but want it to be dragged out just to make sure. He comes every day, same meal, same time, same words. He will give up by the end of the week and just accept he will never have you back. However, you know him and will accept him back around his 5th attempt. He will take the relationship slow, make sure you feel loved, do everything for you. He become super clingy, will never leave your side besides for work. Even then, he calls you during work to make sure you still love him. This will fade out for two month so expect a really needy Bakugou. He won’t even say her name, and if he does see her and avoids her. He will start to hate her because she was the reason you two broke up.

How are you feeling today? Considering how much I usually hate Sundays, I’m feeling pretty relaxed since I’m spending time at Starbucks this afternoon. I did some advanced work earlier but now that that’s done I’m winding down with some surveys. I might be here for another hour or so, so that I can recharge enough before another week starts.
Have you ever been seriously addicted to anything? I don’t think I’ve ever reached that point about any substance, no.
Is having a significant other important to you? Not these days. I had one for a very long period of time so it’s been pretty refreshing to be on my own for the first time in a while.
Do you cook your own meals or do your parents? My parents are the ones who cook. I do plan to learn so I can take care of myself once I get my own place...I’m just always to lazy to start.
Have you ever had a membership at a workout facility? Nah. I did seriously consider it at the start of the year when I was moving on from my breakup and was still in that mindset that working out would be the best revenge; but thank fuck I didn’t push through with it because I quickly realized that I fucking hate exercising and getting a membership would’ve been a huge waste of money lol.
What is your favorite fast food joint? KFC or Wendy’s.
Have you ever kissed someone and regretted it later? Nope.
Do you get drunk just for fun? That’s kind of mostly the point of why I choose to get drunk.
Do you lift weights? Not on my own time. What’s the last thing you bought clothes-wise? I got these really cute Vante- and Hobi-themed shirts from a small business a few weeks ago. They’re fanmade and unofficial, but I found that the designs were tasteful and not cheesy at all and I couldn’t pass them up.
Have you used Limewire before? I just watched my older cousins use it whenever they used the computer, but ultimately I had been too young to have regularly used Limewire when it was at its prime.
Are you/Were you in a band? If so, what was your band name? I was never in a band
Who is the last person you meant it when you said “I love you”? Angela. Have you ever tried cocaine or heroin? Never.
Do you know what a kettle weight is? Yup.
Do you have any siblings? Younger or older? I have a younger sister and brother.
Are you scared of being alone in big cities? At the beginning, probably. Staying in the city is ultimately the future I want for myself, though.
When’s the last time you were sick to your stomach? Thursday when I was lining up to get my vaccine because I fucking hate injections.
Does your phone slide or flip? It does neither.
Have you ever had a one night stand? No, not for me.
Are you craving anything right now? Popeye’s’ chicken sandwich sounds great right now but I’ve bought takeout too many times already this week. I’ll have to control myself for now haha.
Do you or any of your friends have children? Not my friends, no.
When’s the last time you smoked? Well over a year ago.
Who is your last sent text to? My network provider hahahaha
Do you hate one word texts? It would only be annoying if we were meant to have a full-blown conversation.
Have you ever eaten at Chipotle before? We don’t have Chipotle here.
Do you own any volleyball spandex? Nope.
Does your breath need to be freshened? I think I’m good.
So have you ever been on a legit date? I guess not. The only ‘dates’ I’ve been on were ones where my ex and I were already officially together. I’ve never been on a date where it was really meant to get to know the other person better.
Did you sleep in or wake up early today? I woke up super early today lol, like 4:30 AM. I didn’t want to spend my weekend sleeping away and I guess my brain was aware of that.
What is your favorite kind of cookie? Chocolate chip!!!
When is the last time you went to the doctor? Does getting my vaccine count? If so, last Thursday.
Do you swear often? Yep.
Is the taste of alcohol appealing to you? Not really. Alcohol makes me wince for the most part, but I can still tolerate it enough to crave it if I wanna have a good time.
Can you drive? Yes.
Are you on any prescription medications? I am not.
Do you like to wear hemp? I don’t think I’ve ever experimented with it.
Have you ever wanted to be a Playboy bunny? No.
What’s your biggest regret? I don’t really have any major regrets.

kojaque is the dublin soft boy rapping about shitty jobs and irish life
Where England has greasy spoons, Ireland owns the deli. They sell sausage rolls, paninis and melted ham and cheese concoctions called jambons. They’re institutions run on saturated fat and carbohydrates, they’re a hangover’s best friend, but they’re not really the place you expect a concept rap album to be set. Mesmerisingly cringeworthy Bob Marley covers that replace the word ‘jammin’ with ‘jambon’ perhaps, but not rap. Then again, Kojaque is not your average rapper.
The trained visual artist raps in a Dublin accent, deconstructing toxic masculinity with the music he puts out on his own Soft Boy Records. Keeping it local, he wrote an eight track concept album called Deli Daydreams that follows a week in the life of deli owner. But it’s not because Kojaque has a fixation with beige foodstuffs. He doesn’t even eat at the deli anymore. Instead, he whiles away hangovers watching Village Food Factory -- a YouTube channel based in India (exact whereabouts unknown) featuring a man referred to only as ‘my daddy’ cooking a phenomenal array and amount of food on his own -- 1000 chicken gizzards, 100kg of watermelon juice served straight from the shell, fried mutton brains, homemade KFC chicken, a natural viagra recipe made from 3000 drumsticks.
“When you work in a job you don't like, you don't think about the job. It's the last thing you think about, you think about everything else -- what you don't have, what you could be doing, where you wish you were.”
It may seem like mass food production is a common thread in the content Kojaque consumes and produces. But when it came to the album, the job of a deli owner was just a placeholder for any mundane job you have to do to facilitate a living. “It's arbitrary, and that's the point”, Kojaque explains. “When you work in a job you don't like, you don't think about the job. It's the last thing you think about, you think about everything else -- what you don't have, what you could be doing, where you wish you were.”
It’s through this lens of an unfulfilling job that Kojaque traces the tribulations of working class Ireland. Take the opening track, White Noise, there’s run-ins with the Irish police (“weekly standoffs in the streets with the Síochána”) and legal battles (“my court proceedings weighing on me”). There’s universal political problems (“fuck the handouts / give tax breaks to smarmy fuckers in the grey suits / leave me starving tryna find a source of income”) and country-specific ones (“sovereign state / they'd rather see my mother bleed out than build a clinic) though thankfully Ireland’s anti-abortion laws are moving towards change. It’s three minutes and eight seconds of smart, inflammatory flow. “I want to get people pissed off,” Kojaque says. “There's agency to anger, there's no agency to apathy.”
“I think fragile masculinity is the bedrock of a lot of braggadocio and aggression that you see among men."
But the music itself isn’t angry. It’s slow, oozing, melodic. Kojaque flows effortlessly over lazy beats, jazz-inflected piano and saxophone lines. It’s an apt soundtrack for a heatwave, for hanging on someone’s doorstep chatting shit and swigging beers. It’s hints of Odd Future and its offspring -- Earl Sweatshirt, Tyler, the Creator. Which figures -- they’re the ones who got him in the game in the first place. “I saw Odd Future play at my first festival when I was 16 and it was a complete mind fuck.” So he started consuming everything he could, then started producing, because it looked simple. “I pretty quickly realised it takes a lot of hard work to make shit look easy.”
Clearly, he’s worked hard. Yet while the music feels effortless, the deli life isn’t. Last Pint sees him on a night out, doing bumps off the mirror, passing up a pill because he’s seeing “babies on the ceiling” -- a nod to a gruelling scene in Trainspotting where Ewan McGregor’s character is hallucinating from heroin withdrawals. The film reference figures, given Kevin’s visual background and production approach. “I try to think of it like a movie -- I make pictures with my music.” His most-played track on Spotify, Eviction Notice, is about a breakup. It marries yearning hooks with melancholic lyrics: “I put my pants back on / I put my heart through the wash.”
Politicksis is about politics, a word as jumbled as our current state of democratic affairs. This one, too, is about working nine to five, spending wages at the bookies, not having enough money to eat. The video, which we’re premiering today, opens with Kojaque puking on wet tarmac. He runs into the middle of a road, stops a taxi, hops in, and spends the rest of the video spitting bars in the cab’s neon lit interiors. Friend and fellow Dublin dweller Luka Palm delivers a guest verse from the backseat.
Tumblr media
Both the track and the album encompass the dichotomy of anger and fragility, bravado and insecurity, of -- as put so well in another track’s title -- Love and Braggadocio. “I think fragile masculinity is the bedrock of a lot of braggadocio and aggression that you see among men,” he says. “So I try and explore that through characters and in myself.” And with good reason: Ireland, like many other countries, has severe issues with mental health and suicide, especially among men. “If I can articulate a feeling that someone has but can't express themselves, it can act as a kind of release for them,” he says. “As well as for my own peace of mind.”

Survey #509
(one from early this morning)
Ever fallen down a hole? Yikes, no. That sounds so scary. Do you like to read poetry? I don't go out of my way to read it. I wish I did, I used to love it. What’s your preferred frozen snack? Ice cream. Do you know any vegans? I don't think I do. Do you like bananas? I do, but if I don't take my daily antacid in the morning, I will get INSANE heartburn from them. What’s a film you’ve seen that confused you? I'm sure there's a good number because I'm honestly bad with understanding complex plots, but I can't think of a good one right now. How long do you normally spend in the shower? Less than ten minutes. I've never understood how people can take such lengthy showers. What's the heaviest weight limit that you can lift?

I am way too messy and careless and would overlook covering up absolutely everything. What is the weirdest obsession you've ever had? I don't know about necessarily "weird."

My mother and sisters both got it. Is anything you’re wearing a gift? Who bought it for you? No. What’s your favourite brand of chocolate?

What is your favourite dinosaur? Spinosaurus!! Which sports do you enjoy watching? None. Would you ever have a breed of dog that is considered aggressive? I don't think I ever want another dog, but hypothetically, yes. I absolutely refuse to believe that any dog breed is inherently aggressive or anything of the sort. It's how they're raised. Do you play Minecraft? If so, feelings about servers? I personally never have. Does it weird you out to think that humans are just more advanced animals? I mean, sure. Evolution is pretty wild.

The origins of the universe. What is something you dislike about the dating world? Well, I don't have a lot of experience whatsoever, but I know enough to know that too many people don't take love seriously enough, and people wind up hurt. Have you ever dated someone with very different sexual tastes than you? No. Do you feel as though someone "won" in your last break-up? No. No one "lost," either. Is there a random object you own that has a huge personal significance? My pebble that I received upon "graduation" from my partial hospitalization program. Are you one of those people who chew two pieces of gum, not one? Yeah, usually. How old is the person you last kissed? 28. Have you ever mistaken a person’s gender? Omg yes, in high school once. I was SO embarrassed. Without the aid of mascara, do you have long eyelashes? Yes. Do you have a favorite model? No. Have you ever watched Titanic? Yes. It's a beautiful movie. Does the idea of driving 220 mph sound exciting to you? That sounds fucking terrifying. Do you or anyone you know have an account on deviantART? I have two, and I know quite a few other people who do (or did). It's gone down the shitter, but I can't pull myself away from it. Do you listen to Daughtry? I like a couple songs. I have "No Surprise" on my iPod, and I'll listen to it now and again. If you have a dog, what breed is it? She's a chihuahua. Literally my last pick for a dog breed, but we essentially rescued her. Do you use Bounty paper towels? No, that shit's expensive. How many cars have you owned? None, if we're talking myself personally. What was your first word? "Dada." A musical instrument you wouldn’t mind learning how to play? The saxophone. A fast food restaurant that you hate with a passion? Arby's is super gross. Does everyone in your family have a job?

Do you still talk to the last person you kissed? Yeah, we're dating. How many tabs/windows are open on your computer right now? Literally 11... and almost all of them are various YouTube videos I'm watching over time, lol. If your best friend died, would you be able to speak at their funeral? I hate this question, but if god forbid it happened, I would want to. Are you excited for anything right now? What? I'm looking forward to my birthday quite a bit. Do you lose interest in someone easily? Nooooooooooooo. Did the last person you kiss have tattoos? Not yet; I know he wants a sleeve at some point.
