so i’ve recently come across a handful of jujutsu kaisen college au’s, which i’m ever so grateful for because they are so much fun to read, but there is a theme i’ve noticed about a certain characters major...

gojo usually gets placed into political science (or something related to it). and don’t get me wrong, i’m not disagreeing. i can totally see him majoring in something like that. maybe he’d work towards things like resetting systems or addressing laws that are corrupt, and whatever else polisci majors do. keep it close to his manga ideals, more or less.

however

i love the idea of a young gojo surrounded by a family full of like, scientists? hear me out- because in the manga, the limitless technique involves a lot physics, i can imagine an au where gojo’s parents/family insist he continues with what the family has always excelled in. they insist he focus on the sciences (specifically physics), maybe continue research they can’t finish, or something along those lines. and because he’s always been one to adhere to the high expectations set for him, he spends most of his life meeting exceeding their expectations. he’s just good at physics, from understanding difficult concepts to memorizing complex equations. he’s gojo satoru, of course he’s good at it.

but life goes on, and gojo gets bored easy. high school math and science classes are too easy, most of the concepts having been covered in the forced summer lessons he’d recieved from his family in earlier years. he breezes by the class and home work when he’s actually doing it and is occasionally asked to tutor classmates with all the free time he opens up for himself during class. (he hates tutoring others, its not his fault they can’t keep up. he’ll do what he’s told though, but not without some arrogant remark to get it started. unless it’s someone cute, the funny girl with the beauty mark below her eye, or the punk with the man bun and funny looking bangs, he’d groan in annoyance the whole way through).

high school flys by, and he’s already applied to schools his family picked out. he didn’t really care for where he went, just so long as it was far enough away from the nagging that came with his perfectionist parents. he was already registered to major in physics, what more could they want? he’d get the scholarships (not like he needed the money), he’d get the grades, and he’d keep out of trouble... or not. who’s to say?

but college came crashing in, and for whatever reason, his focus is shifted towards things more important than the speed of light or the science of magnetism. he’d keep thinking back to conversations him and manbun (“my name is getou suguru, for the last fucking time”) would have during the math classes they’d share over their four years of high school. how he’d drone on and on about protecting the weak or doing things with meaning behind it. (“dude you can’t even wrap your head around derrivatives, wh- ooookay sorry that i got an A and you got- OW!”) gojo only pretended to not care about getou’s monologues, but he’d always taken it as food for thought. getou wasn’t around anymore though, and gojo was more alone than when he’d started. so what now?

gojo’s never been one to follow anyones rules but his own, and he’s definitely not one that enjoys being forcibly influenced by others. maybe getou’s words were getting to him. maybe the funny girl with the beauty mark (“why is shoko so hard for you to remember?”) had a point when she told him a lab coat wouldn’t suit him. maybe he was just too hungry to think straight.

it didn’t matter. in the end, he let physics go, as well as whatever ideals his family tried to spoon feed him since he could count to ten and differentiate the sun and the moon. at least now he could explore something more... important to him. maybe? or at least explore a bunch of stuff for a year and a half before he had no other choice but to choose a major.

and even then, at the end of the day, it’s still gojo. he’s gonna get through college no problem, by whatever means necessary if it comes to it. and maybe he ends up with political science but joins a science club cause sometimes physics wasn’t so bad.

#i love jjk college au’s so much i want more #i might turn this into a snazzy little fic when i have the time... maybe... as a treat #gonna try to post more of my silly little ideas on this silly little side blog more often #gojou satoru #gojo satoru #satoru gojo #jujutsu kaisen #jujutsu kaisen au #jjk college au #what other tags y’all be usin holawn #can you tell i did no research btw like this is all based on what i already know anyways xoxo see ya #this turned into way more than i expected it to i was literally just gonna include the physics part #sss trio brain rot haaahaaa #satosugu #getou suguru #shoko ieri #sss trio #ray writes #ray writes jjk
