your blog reminds me of those ispy books i loved as a kid. this is the highest compliment i can give. you’re a god send
Walter Wick (the artist) still makes books and has one available next summer (Can You See What I See?: Curiosity Shop) that looks delicious. The new scenes still seem to be made by hand with very little digital editing (check out his behind the scenes).
(But, the new ones are a bit too bright for me. The older "dreamier" images are so much more serene)
Tbh the way fandom has the view of Gojo as either “hes not that powerful actually” or “he sees everything can do everything including travelling between dimensions” is kinda Gege’s fault? Its funny how jjk provides a lot of details into the nature of the cursed energy but the power level still feels a bit icky. The way Gojo’s powers are explained they are essentially applied mathematics and physics that are, usually, purely theoretical. I fucking hate quantum mechanics but unfortunately for everyone invovlved i am actively studying them so
So like technically he should be able to travel dimensions or into space or into the marianna trench and come out unscathed. The way teleportation works can be compared to the way we now know that black holes dont destroy information, but compress it. Considering the fact that blue and red work on the sheer fact that he creates an empty space and the universe rushes to fill it(which is genuinely a straight up impossible thing to do btw) and vice versa, he does technically have the strenght of a god. We dont even have a full knowledge of how the Six Eyes work, like okay they work thanks to seeing cursed energy. How the fuck then is he reading shit or typing on the phone with the blindfold on? That implies he sees perfectly well everything even if it doesnt have curse energy. Like when you go from his abilities he does seem like he can travel dimensions and whatever else. As fun as the Achilles and tortoise thing is, the fact that he can make it a reality effectively means that there is a shit ton of other things he should be able to do thanks to physics but i guess he needs a weakness (aside from being gay)
Which is FAIR overpowered characters aren’t good for a shonen narrative esp when they are on the side of the protagonist, it just feels sometimes like Gege gave him power over literal physics while forgetting that physics is like the thing that governs all. Genuenly. If you have the power to literally create an imaginary mass you are officially above all of the possible limits of the universe
I have the desperate urge to write something, but I can't get my shit together enough to put anything down on the page. Literally anything would be nice, but the only thing I've been able to wrote for MONTHS now is d&d character backstories. Plot? I don't know her. Which is a shame, cause I'd really love to write something with a nice big plot someday. But my brain is physically incapable of coming up with plots. Character backstories definitely, worldbuilding maybe, but plots? Nope!!! Even my current WIPs don't have much in the way of plot, and that's what's been preventing me from working on them. maybe??
