Jujutsu Kaisen: Au Dogs
I had to expose about dogs at school, and I started to think a lot about which dog would be each character. Since I don't have time to draw, I leave it here to remember later.
Gojo as a white wolf with blue eyes
Tumblr media
Because Wolves are bigger and stronger than most dogs.
Wolves are one of the most intelligent and strategic animals that exist in the planet and are complicated, although they can be playful, are still dangerous because they are wild animals that are not made to be domesticated
As it is a dog Au, I think there would only be a one wolf, that is why Gojo would stand out among the others
Geto as a Calupoh
Tumblr media
Calupoh is a mexican black wolfdog.
They are noble, loyal, protective and stable dogs, with great tolerance and good with children. But their temperament can be altered by their wolf genes, so they can become distant or they can show aggressiveness on some occasions, probably the fault of fear or stress, they are also dogs that tend to dominate, putting their educator to the test more than once.
The personality of the Calupoh reminds me of Geto before and after Riko's death
Calupoh is a Wolfdog because is a hybrid of wolf and dog, the percentage of their wolf genes go from 25% to 75% depending on the kennel. So I think Wolf!Gojo could see Geto as his equal.
Shoko as a Cat
Tumblr media
I just see Shoko as a different category.
I've been thinking about which dog would Shoko fit. But I always see her as a cat. Because she just does what she wants, she goes at a different pace than everyone else and she excels in the Jujutsu world in a way opposite to Gojo. She doesn't really fight, she also doesn't seem to care about sorcerer grades and didn't have much interest in that part of the Jujutsu world in general, when she was young she preferred to do other things than spend time in class or missions and when Geto became a traitor. She just stepped aside, she didn't try to stop him but she didn't join him either.
Utahime as a Black Shiba Inu
Tumblr media
Utahime is someone who has respect for traditions and she also represents various things that the Japanese appreciate in a person.
I think a traditional Japanese dog is good match with someone who usually dressed as Miko and Shibas are considered the oldest and smallest of Japan's dogs.
Shibas have a docile, calm and reliable temperament, but also can be a bold and alert dog. Their personality reminds me of Utahime.
Mei Mei as Afghan hounds
Tumblr media
Afghan hounds are considered elegant and aristocratic dogs because they are independent, intelligent, dignified, and aloof in general —they're not easy to train because they only obey when they want and it suits them, for that reason their temperament is often compared to that of a cat's.
Is a dog that can be made the typical braid that Mei Mei uses for its long coat. The personality, color and also its appearance reminds me of Mei mei
Nanami as Andalusian Hound
Tumblr media
The Andalusian Hound is known for being loyal to its family, gentle and calm in nature. They are celebrated for their intellect and can learn new tasks quickly. Their intelligence can make them more demanding, and does well with a strong authority figure. Andalusian Hounds can be somewhat protective and suspicious of strangers, so they make good watchdogs with kids.
Is a dog that reminds me of Nanami, he is serious, intelligent and alert but he is also kind.
Haibara as Flat-coated retriever
Tumblr media
The Flat-coated Retriever is an active multi-talented hunting dog with a strong desire to please people. They are trusting and docile being an affectionate pet.
It is a dog that fits well with Haibara's positive attitude and the excitement he felt at the idea of working with his superiors.
Toji as Caucasian Shepherd Dog
Tumblr media
It is a very famous Russian dog, I chose it because this dog was mostly used as a wolf hunter and prison guard.
It is a dog used to take care of cattle and kill wolves, the dog usually hides inside the flock of sheep. when the wolves appear, they are unaware of the dog's presence, and the dog attacks the unsuspecting wolves. Due to his size, strength, and thick fur, this dog is capable of taking on two wolves at the same time.
This dog is difficult to breed, although it develops a strong bond with its owner, it will rarely be submissive, since a dog of this breed trusts more in its instincts, to the point of disobeying its owner's orders in certain situations.
+ Bonus:
I see this as a Gojo!Wolf teasing Utahime for being the smallest and weakest dog among the pack and she fed up with him

Where did Nanami go?
a small collection of events where the people around nanami wonder if he's been abducted by aliens where they switched his brain after seeing how different he is with you (but they love it and keep hoping to see more) fluff, nanami being the best boyfriend, fluff literally just typed this all in one go and did not edit. lol enjoy!
nanami is the 'i'm not reading all that, im happy for you or im sorry that happened' person to gojo. but you send one long long message to nanami and gojo glaces to nanami's phone and just sees his whole screen covered in one long blue bubble. he asks if you're ok or if he needs to step away to call you but all nanami says is no and starts reading the message. gojo sees nanami read a bit, then types a small reply, presses enter for the next line, reads some more, then another small reply, and repeat. is he replying to every single sentence in your message?!
gojo gets curious so he leans a bit closer to actually see the message. it was not an emergency... but your review and interpretation of the 2009 movie Mother?!
gojo leans back shocked. nanami would never reply to such long messages he'd send. if the message was longer than 4 lines, then nanami might never even reply to it. but he's carefully reading your message as if it was the latest report that would be the difference between life and death in the next fight. he's replying to every single point you're making and are those emojis?!
gojo is floored, truly baffled and entirely speechless.
gojo wonders, what movie can i watch that might interest nanami and get him to reply to me in a message longer than a sentence?
———
gojo and itadori walk out of the school with nanami. it's time for nanami to clock out but gojo and itadori are heading out to try a new restaurant that evening. nanami gets a call at 6:01pm while he's still walking with them and stays back a few steps to answer your call. nosy gojo perks up his ear to listen if nanami's voice changes when he answers your call. it's not too different but gojo swears it did change a bit as if there was a little smile on his face. there was.
you ask nanami if he'd like to join you for dinner at a restaurant after work and nanami just asks for the address and says he's on his way. he excuses himself from the guys and gojo wiggles his eyebrows as nanami says he's got somewhere to be. yuji continues to talk about the last movie he saw that he loved but megumi kept rolling his eyes at.
gojo and yuji get to the restaurant after their leisurely walk and see nanami - wait! nanami setting the table?! they're both shocked bc even though their steps were unhurried, it's not like they took a long time to get to the place. you walk into the restaurant and spot nanami wiping what would be your side of the table with his hand, wiping anything that might have been missed by the cleaning cloth.
"kento!" you smile and jog to the table. he looks up and smiles when he sees you, but the smile drops when he spots the open mouthed gojo and yuji you just passed by. you stop walking and turn to see who or what he's looking at.
gojo snaps out of it and goes to introduce himself to you before leading the group of three to the table that nanami is now standing next to. he had heard about you because he pestered nanami enough to tell him about your existence and your name, and that's really all gojo knew. he asks nanami how he got to the restaurant so quick and nanami blandly replies that you work nearby and he wanted to get there first aka he lightly jogged but gojo didn't need to know that.
nanami was kind of expecting it but it still surprised him a bit when you extend a courteous invitation to gojo and yuji if they'd like to join you both for dinner. what was not a surprise was that gojo immediately sat down. yuji hesitates a bit but you tell the young man to sit and assure it's ok. nanami sighs but decides to just roll with it and goes to slide out your chair so you can sit. gojo and yuji give a quiet 'ooooohh' to the action and nanami just shushes them and sits next to you.
nanami is stiff at first and you notice so you slide your hand to hold his under the table. gojo notices the action though and feels like giggling and kicking his feet for his friend. it still takes a while for nanami to relax a bit but he eventually slumps a bit in his seat and smiles a lot easier after a few drinks w you. gojo and yuji stick to their sodas and nanami is happy to order wine for you both.
gojo and yuji make easy conversation and everyone genuinely has a nice dinner. nanami is ready to say bye to the guys as you finish a conversation with yuji about a show. gojo and yuji excitedly watch you both walk away as nanami keeps a hand on your lower back to lead you down the street then moves to hold your hand. they start giggling out loud, a little too loud, when you step even closer to hold his arm with your other hand and lean your head on his shoulder as you walk back home.
———
yuji excitedly goes to nanami to ask if he can join you guys after work. nanami is confused but yuji tells him to check his phone. you had asked if he wanted to visit an ice cream parlor and bakery with you and that you had asked yuji for the name since he brought up the place at dinner.
“we were talking about the show hannibal and she recommended a movie if i liked that show so i did the same and recommended something. she said she'd let me know what she thought the next time she saw me but i didn't know when that'd be and i think she read my mind so we exchanged emails,” yuji rambles nonchalantly about exchanging information with his girlfriend.
"nanamin, i thought you didn't like sweets?" nanami confirms that he does not care for them but you like them and he always finds another bread or alternative to eat as you eat your sugar-filled dessert.
yuji gives a thumbs up and that the man has his respect. nanami tries to ignore the comment… but the compliment feels nice. what didn’t feel so nice was two other kids attaching themselves to yuji and nanami for the ice cream.
he gets in the car and looks back at nobara, yuji, and megumi through the rearview mirror and hopes you don’t mind these kids attaching themselves like leeches on your date. and you don’t mind, it was nice to finally meet some of the people he’s talk so much about and you liked hearing new stories about him.
you’re getting a couple samples and pass them to nanami once you’ve tasted a bit. he wouldn’t get a full ice cream for himself but he could do samples... and indirect kisses. you read his mind (bc you were thinking the same) and try to flirt and raise your eyebrows at nanami seductively but shy away and start to laugh instead. nanami know what you were trying to do yet again and he finds it endearing every time you do it. he pulls you in from your waist and leans down to kiss your bare shoulder thinking the kids are too busy looking for their own desserts to notice. they were not busy, they were looking and saw it all.
the kids are shocked, nobara is taking notes bc she wants that romantic gesture, yuji wants to cheer him on, and megumi's eyes widen but he wonders just how long nanami's been hiding this side of himiself. all in all, all three kids want to see this side more and start planning ways to go out with you both again.
———
nobara and maki go shopping for some spring clothes and as nobara is talking about a store she saw while maki got an iced coffee she stops in her tracks. nanami is inside the store they were about to pass and he's standing as still as a statue... holding a couple shopping bags in one hand and a purse on his shoulder. maki follows nobara's gaze and chuckles but prepares to walk away. nobara grabs her arm and pulls her into the store but hides behind a rack to keep watching nanami.
you come out of the dressing room in the perfect little black dress and nobara and maki can't help but stare in appreciation and awe. they were impressed by how you looked but even more impressed when nanami took out his phone and took a picture. even from afar, they could tell it was a damn good picture and that that man knew your angles.
———
gojo wants to go to a club. he knows nanami will say no straight up so he starts the conversation with, "hey you know what y/n might like?" gojo tries to sell the club the best he can but nanami just says ok and walks away.
gojo texts nanami later that night to ask (plead) him if he'd want to go and all nanami says is that you both will meet him there. gojo hums as he gets ready and arrives to the club. he sees you and nanami walk into the dark and loud room but immediately notices nanami's black button-up that has the top few buttons opened and no tie, and your little black dress. it's shorter (and honestly sexier) than what gojo imagined you'd wear in an outing with nanami but he has to admit that his pair of friends were a damn wonder to look at. he discreetly takes a photo of you two and sends it to nanami. it becomes nanami's favorite photo.
gojo compliments both of you and you thank him saying you had told nanami he'd look great with that simple button-up and gojo agrees. nanami blushes a bit at your compliment. gojo asks about your dress and you laugh recalling when you were getting ready. you had asked nanami if you could wear the dress since you weren't sure if it was too short and he just nodded and basically said 'dress slutty, i can fight' (not in those exact words but that's how you registered it and you fell even more in love with the man). nanami really did not care about what you wore, he would definitely voice if something was not appropriate but he has not said anything about any of your clothes since you've met. gojo couldn't even laugh at nanami's response to your question, he was impressed and turns to nanami to give a thumbs up (and writes that down to use later).
———
all the students sit with nanami and gojo in the cafeteria. they're sitting around waiting for their meal after their mission when nanami remembers that he promised to call you after he was done. he had accidentally let it slip that the mission seemed dangerous and you asked if he could spare a moment after the mission to call or text you to make sure he was fine.
he excuses himself and gojo faintly hears your voice before his friend fully walks out of the cafeteria for his call. immediately after nanami leaves, the students huddle closer to the table and start talking about you. gojo is kind of shocked by the student's reactions but they all look at him and in their own way talk about how much they like you for nanami. a cold and serious man has the embodiment of bubblegum on his arm and they loved it. gojo joins his giggling students and nanami waits a moment outside the cafeteria door to listen to his team rave about you before walking back in with a light blush on his cheeks.

Avatar: The Last Airbender Ethnicities:
I've noticed a few people have made modern headcanons based off of the ATLA characters' races & ethnicities, and a lot of them were very inaccurate based off of canon; so I'm going to explain which countries and cultures each of the four nations are based on.
The Air Nomads:
The Nomads' culture closely resembles mostly to that of Tibetan Monks and to Hindu priests to some degree. Their bald heads, clothing and meditation practices are very similar to those of real life Buddhist monks. The nomads practice vegetarianism like many real life Hindus and Buddhists. The method the monks used to find the Avatar, such as having toys for the child to choose from, is also the same method Tibetans used to find the Dalai Lama. Air temple architecture draws from real life Chinese Buddhist Pagodas.  Aang’s mentor was named Monk Gyatso and Aang’s son, was named Tenzin, which form the real name of Tibet’s 14th and current Dalai Lama, Tenzin Gyatso.
Many airbenders wear saffron robes based off of those of Shaolin monks. The outfit Aang wears in season three is similar to that of the Dalai Lama. 
The erratic and free style of air bending is based on ancient Chinese martial art of Ba Gua. 
As for their architecture, it strongly resembles Pagoda Forest of China and Taktsang Temple of Bhutan (a Southern Asian country).
Their history also has a lot of real-world relevance, as the Air Nomad Genocide by Fire Nation is based off of an actual historical event, the Annexation of Tibet by the People's Republic of China.
Therefore, the closest ethnic group to the Air Nomads would be the Tibetan people, with a lot of Chinese influence.
Earth Kingdom:
The Earth Kingdom is the most diverse region of the Avatar world. Their architecture is almost soley influenced by those of China, but they also shares similar cuisine with China, such as roast duck and jook. Much of the clothing is based on the clothing of pre-manchu China, with the exception of Ba Sing Se, which is based on the Qing Dynasty. In addition, Korean clothing, such as hanbok, can be seen  being worn by some characters as well. Architecture in the Earth Kingdom is very Chinese influenced in general. 
The Earth Kingdom army uniforms resemble ancient Chinese military uniforms, particularly those of the Song and Ming Dynasty. The capital, Ba Sing Se, draws many parallels with ancient Chinese capitals such as Beijing.
Also, Kuei, the 52nd Earth King, resembles the the last emperor of China, Puyi. In appearance, both of them even wears circular glasses; and in culture, both rulers were kept ignorant of the state of their nation and had no real power. Kuei had previously never left the Ba Sing Se palace, akin to how Puyi, up to a point, was always kept in the Forbidden City.
The government also draws a parallel with the authoritarian Ming Dynasty with its propaganda and police state. It takes after China and the communist revolution. For example, Lake Laogai is named after the reeducation camps constructed by Mao Zedong; and the Dai Li is named after the leader of the Chinese Secret Police.
The sand benders in the desert also bear a resemblance to the Tuareg people in Northern Africa. 
The strong stances and strikes of earthbending is based on ancient Chinese martial art of Hung Gar, although Toph’s specific style is inspired by Southern Praying Mantis style. 
However, despite the Earth Kingdom's mostly Chinese influence, the Kyoshi warriors resemble Kabuki actors and geisha of Japan, and Kyoshi Island seems to hold more similarities to Japan tham China, as well.
Therefore, the people of Ba Sing Se would be Chinese, and since the Kingdom was formed around Ba Sing Se as their Capital, so would the majority of the Earth Kingdom as well. There are two excepts, though, with those who live on Kyoshi Island, who would be mixed of Japanese and Chinese ancestry. Along with that, the sand benders would be Tuareg, as it's the only part of their culture we've seen.
The Fire Nation:
The mainstream Fire Nation culture closely resembles mostly Japan and China to some extent. Their architecture strongly resembles Chinese architecture, and their army wears ancient uniform of Chinese military.
As for their real-world similarities, as previous stated in the Air Nomad's history, their invasion on Air Temples, were quite similar to real life invasion of Tibet by People’s Liberation Army of China.
As for the Fire Nation’s similarities with Japan, they're mostly based off of Imperial Japan. This includes them being an extremely militaristic and industrialized country in only a few decades, and being the expansionist nation compared to others. Their propaganda justifying their imperialism is similar to that of Japan’s propaganda during World War II, as they used to justify their invasion on rest of the S.E. Asia.
The Fire Nation is influenced by other Chinese and Southeast Asian cultures as well. The Fire Nation’s topography is also similar to Japan, Hawaii, and Polynesian Islands. Ancient Egyptian and Chinese architecture inspired the Fire Nation Royal Palace and the royal garden is similar to classical Chinese ones. The Palace is visually similar to the Forbidden City but to a lesser extent. The Fire Temple is based on Chinese pagodas. However, Ember Island draws from Southeast Asian resorts, which can be seen in the numerous paintings and vases in the homes. 
Chinese influences can be seen in Fire Nation attire. In particular, Zuko can be seen wearing a shenyi, a historical Chinese clothing.
Warlord era of the Fire Islands (an era before Fire Lord uniting the islands into single nation) were based on the Ainu culture of Japan and Russia.
The Sun Warriors were known for worshipping the sun since they drew their power from it, similar to Mayan and Aztec cultures, who also glorified the sun. Their clothing is very similar to traditional Southeast Asian warrior dress, most notably, their headdresses. Sun Warriors’ buildings are reminiscent of Mesopotamian and Southeast Asian architecture, such as the Phanom Rung and Angkor Wat. 
Therefore, the Fire Nation's people could be seen as either Chinese or Japanese, as both of their culture is very prevalent. Due to the Earth Kingdom's people already being based off of China, I personally see the Fire Nation as Japanese. However, as previously stated, the Sun Warriors are mostly likely a mixture of Japanese and Southern Asian Indigenous descent.
The Water Tribe:
As seen on maps in ATLA, the north and south Water Tribes are positioned on the coldest extremes, similar to the real life tribe of the Inuit, who are a nation of many communities in Arctic & Subarctic regions in Russia, the US, Canada, & Greenland.
As for cultural similarities, Katara and other women in the Southern Water Tribe are seen wearing hair loops, which are actually hairstyles worn by Inuit women. There are also igluvijait (snow houses) in Katara and Sokka’s Southern Water Tribe village, and iglu/igluit means any kind of house in many Canadian Inuktitut dialects. Water Tribe members are also seen wearing anorak clothing, which was originally worn by the indigenous peoples of the Arctic designed to keep them warm and protected from harsh weather.
Their fighting style is based off of Chinese Tai-Chi. The Australian Aboriginals' weapons, such as the boomerang, can be seen being used by Water Tribe warriors, most notably Sokka. Face Paint, as seen being wore by the Water Tribe members, is also more common among Native American tribes; whereas tattoos are more common in Inuit culture. Water Tribe ships resemble Polynesian catamarans. 
Different cultures inspired Water Tribe architecture based on their geography. The Northern Water Tribe’s architecture pulls from the ancient Aztecs’ pyramids and Venice’s canal systems while the Southern Tribe’s igloos mirror those of the Inuit.  
Native American, Chinese and Japanese myths even influenced Water Tribe spiritual practices. For example, the moon and ocean spirits, Tui and La, are reminiscent of the Chinese legend of Yin and Yang.
For real-world similarities, Avatar has used modern disputes; such as the conflict over oil and ‘progress’ in the the graphic novel Avatar: The Last Airbender—North and South has been taken straight from conflicts in Inuit territory in Alaska.
Therefore, it makes sense to have both of the tribes be mostly made up of Inuit people. I personally view the Southern Water Tribe as being Inuit, and the Northen Tribe as being a Yup'ik due to the mixed influences.
Reminder: This is all based off of my own personal research, along with what other people have noticed as well, and my opinions because of it. My purpose for making this was to avoid white-washing that happens in the fandom, and to hopefully help educate others. If any information is wrong, feel free to correct it!

I remember someone saying "mad scientists in fiction aren't scientists because there's never a control group"
I think if you've created an elixir that turns people into goat men you have sort have gone past the need for a control group. The control group is not going to placebo themselves into goat men. You can probably not run the control group, and safely assume that none of them would have turned into goat men. That said, having a control group for that would make the mad scientist seem extra crazy and be really really funny, especially if he was carefully testing them for goat like features from the dyed water they drank instead of the elixir
