I love Higuruma. Not just because he’s so willing to help Yuuji and the others (and because he’s hot), but he’s a character with particular traits that I’ve appreciated throughout JJK. The constant adapting and learning that can be seen with Mahito, strengthening his own capabilities that aren’t inherently offensive or overwhelmingly powerful like Tengen with barriers or Nobara being Mahito’s natural enemy, etc. It’s not like there aren’t interesting aspects to characters that are overwhelmingly powerful like Sukuna or Gojo, but it’s gratifying to see characters who aren’t still find ways to make just as much of an impact and work with others to do so. It’s no wonder Sukuna admires him, while giving far less thought to characters that could arguably be considered more powerful or destructive.

alrighty, here it is~
🩵 The Overmorrow playlist (on youtube) 🩵
The first 11 are songs that encapsulate the mood of the entire story and its overarching themes, mostly about Eph or literally from his pov (I’m on my hands and knees begging you to listen to King, The Next Right Thing, Quiet, and A Little Closer at the very least 🥺)
The 19 after those are various instrumental tracks I listened to while writing and editing to set ✨ the mood ✨ (I do this for all my fics), more or less in chronological order
And finally, once Overmorrow is finished…I’ll add some bonus songs 😃
Hopefully I’ll be able to host this in a better place suited for music (with no ads!) later on, but this’ll do for now. I really hope you like it!!

I never really thought about why I liked Raphael as much as I do until I met Yurgir and he called Raphael a “perfumed trickster”, and now it just makes complete sense, because he is a trickster, he’s charismatic and intelligent and loves misleading people, he loves playing with words and he’s smarmy and he does whatever’s necessary to get what he wants, he’s cocky and plays by his own rules, he loves toying with people, and he schemes. Like of course I like him, he’s a trickster.

Thoughts about Takasugi
Ok time to talk about this Takasugi bitch. I'm a tsundere when it comes to him lmao. At first, I thought he was going to be the Sasuke (from Naruto) in this series, a character I’ve a complicated relationship with, so I wasn't exactly excited about him. Also, he was a bit ugly in his first appearance, wasn't he? 😂
It was in Benizakura arc that Takasugi started to capture my interest in a more positive way, which progressively increased until he destroyed me in the SA arc. However, since he was more of a villain acting in the shadows, I didn't pay much attention to the bits of characterization he’d in the past, like when he told Itou how lonely it’s to be a genius.
In truth, he wasn't self-absorbed and wasn't lying either. He was one of the best, but he was accompanied by Gintoki, Zura and Tatsuma. Later he’d the Kiheitai at his side, but they were his subordinates, not his equals. So this is where we begin to see that there’s more to his anger and sadness over Shouyou's death, there’s a lot of loneliness too over the bonds he believes he lost.
It can also be seen how perceptive Takasugi is regarding other people's feelings, using this ability to manipulate Itou, Sasaki, and Nobu Nobu, as well as how smart he’s in choosing them to progress with his schemes. However, we must admit that his catchphrase about destroying the world did him no favors in this respect.
Takasugi wasn't some lunatic aimlessly wanting to annihilate everything. He wanted to bring down the corrupt government that destroyed his life and the lives of everyone he loved. For self-serving reasons, sure, but at the end of the day he was doing something good, the problem was his methods.
But to be honest, his actions never seemed terrible to me. The worst crime there’s is killing people, as many characters in this series have done, starting with Gintoki, so it wasn't particularly shocking every time Takasugi did it. That's a big part of why I disagree with the idea that his crimes were horrible and he couldn't be saved.
I've talked about his death before, so I'll just conclude by saying that I wish he’d more appearances throughout the series (not just at the end of the serious arcs), that he interacted with more characters, and of course, that he didn't die. I still think he’d a lot of potential regarding the serious aspect of Gintama, but also on the comedy side. The little bits we saw were hilarious.
