sharing an unedited snippet bc the painkillers are kicking in and idc anymore

“Maybe we should just leave,” he says with a sigh. He’s been suggesting it for the past half-hour. “Go find Gojo-sensei.” Yuji’s already drifted off. He’s still got plenty of cash to burn. Well, Gojo’s cash, but he was gifted it to have some fun, right? The 80s-style carpet swallows Fushiguro’s protests chasing after his footsteps as he browses the array of cabinets on display. Most of them are either out-of-order or dysfunctional, their screens flickering with nonsense displays. He passes a Mortal Kombat cabinet, where Scorpion is permanently glitched in the middle of impaling Liu Kang. The screen is split horizontally one third from the bottom, giving the appearance of Liu Kang’s body being cut in two. On his left, another cabinet shows Pac-Man being ambushed by ghosts, only to finally be caught by Clyde. The preview starts up again and Pac-Man is off, mindlessly chomping down on every pellet in his path. The pellets twitch and suddenly they’re fingers. Yuji does a double take. Pac-Man swallows a pellet - a regular, yellow pellet - and then a powerup, and then the hunt is on. “Itadori, let’s g- are you okay?” Yuji tears his eyes away from the screen, now just urging him to insert a coin. In the distance, Kugisaki’s heading to the escalator. His eyes focus on Fushiguro, whose mossy gaze, rippling with concern, sets every point of his skin on fire. Yuji chuckles sheepishly, running his hand through the prickly regrowth on the back of his scalp. “Can we stay a little longer?” he pleads. “I wanna see what else they’ve got.” Fushiguro’s feathery brows pull together. “Are you sure? Because you look freaked out.” Yuji watches the carpet go dark and light under the scrubbing of his boot. “I just thought I saw something.” The air between his body and his clothes is becoming unbearably humid under Fushiguro’s intense stare. He’s been doing that a lot lately. Just… staring. Like he expects Yuji to drop dead again. “Fushiguro, I’m fine,” he wants to say. Sometimes his mind bursts with the image of him pressing Fushiguro’s hand to his chest to feel his heart thumping away in there, saying “Look, look! I’m alive! I’m alive!” But then his heart starts beating a little too fast and Yuji knows Fushiguro would feel it too and then he’d know. The thought sears Yuji’s cheeks and he turns away from the light, away from Fushiguro. He wants him to leave with Kugisaki so that he can explore the games in peace. But it’s kind of dark up here and some of the lights are flickering and he’s a little scared to be alone. Come on, say something. “Fine.”

Fie my dude just delete twitter as an app. It does so much good for your mental health tbh (also the way I can tell you’re taking about the way the satosugu/gojohime people go at it non stop) like you’re ships not canon and if the author specifies if it is or not it will never be. like just chill😭

Funnily enough it was actually ship discourse surrounding maki this time. I have no idea how it got on my timeline, but nobamakis and yutamakis were tearing eachother apart over whether maki was a lesbian or straight (rip bi/pan people) stsg and gh are also both really bad too :( its so weird how some people get so worked up and obsess over the sexualities over fictional characters 😭 and ur right anon I should delete, but the artists on there are what keep me coming back

#dw tho i always just mute accounts that fight over ships lol #im pretty sure i muted all the big stsg and gh shippers bc i never see them on my timeline anymore #so i thought i was safe but then maki discourse ?????#both ships r good pls dont fight #or like remember how u can dislike a ship and just like.....ignore it and move on ???????#but fr over fictional character sexualities ?????? why not put that energy into something useful ???#does anyone remember the waka inoue incident 😬#or when homophobes tell itafushi shippers yuji canonically like jennifer lawerence so apparently that means he cant like dudes #(???????)#rip bi/pan people again #this is the last time i will complain about jjktwt i promise !!!!#aaaaaaaaaaaa im annoying ok bye

a dream only life can restore

The thing about guilt was that it was all consuming—it never went away.

It lurked underneath his skin, was injected into his bloodstream, rooted deep into his heart, prepared to consume it at any moment.

Yuuji harbored a lot of guilt—from small, embarrassing things he did as a child to his grandfather’s death, guilt was like a ghost that watched over him. An old friend.

Foolishly, or naively, he believed that guilt wouldn’t be too abundant as a sorcerer—he was saving people, after all.

[or: yuuji feels guilty for pretending to be dead and he, megumi, and nobara are a family

itafushi hug bc i miss them so much. i was listening to a song but i cannot for the life of me remember what it was called but it’s what inspired the second panel, idk something about ‘me haces estremecer’ which just means you make me tremble.

***edit

I REMEMBER THE SONG! it’s actually a song from a novela, it’s called tocando el cielo from pedro el escamoso.

anyways the lyrics is

esos labios que yo beso, ese fuego de tu cuerpo, me hace casi estremecer

which translates to

those lips that i kiss, the heat from your body, it almost makes me tremble

Nsfw // Remember the itfs talk?? Cause I was thinking, I was thinking so hard about what to answer cause like yesss!!!

I want to focus on the latter tags cause.... Wow thats what I'm talking about!! Whenever I read itafushi I like top yuuji and bottom (and more often than not sub) megumi. So it makes so much sense that you'd want to take revenge for that cause he liked you but chose to ask yuuji out before asking you?? Or, yuuji knew megs liked you and still choose to ask him out?? So, in the first scenario it would be more than fair to dom him! Maybe you were all just talking about how you all ended up together and yuuji just lets that slip. maybe you're feeling like being a bit (or maybe a lot) mean to megumi, get him on his knees, sucking, deepthroating really, yuuji with you controlling his movements absolutely forcing him to take all of yuus length down his throat and gag like crazy with an obscene amount of spit oozing out of the corner of his lips. It was definitely personal too, they way you were treating megumi. Yuuji is not innocent in all of this ofc, but I'll let that slide for the sake of the moment. To continue punishing megs you would have your way with yuuji while he just sits there and... watch. It would end with yuuji giving you a huge creampie, it was such a lewd sight too, his dick was already shining cause of megumis spit, and even more after he entered you cause you were soaked. So there you are, full of your bfs cum seeping out and you ask megumi to clean you, cause that wouldn't be the first nor last time that he'd taste yuuji. Your revenge on yuuji is definitely happening another day too

gnaws on a steel plate… godddddddd okokokok yuuji has such an effortless dominate aura about him that’s a little scary once he hones in on it. most of the time, it’s purely his outgoing, charming nature and physical strength that lures other people into submission by will or force, whichever comes first, and he’s sort of naive to it. but when he chooses to exercise that strength, when he chooses to be stronger than you, than megumi, when he chooses to seduce, it’s mind-numbing, it’s boyish, but there’s still a distinct power struggle that it’s dizzying… insane…

anyway… you said two very important things in here and i only have the space (brainpower) to bring attention to one right now, and i will below, but just know we need to come back to the point about letting yuuji creampie you while megumi’s there bc i am firm believer that that’s actually one of megumi’s biggest fantasies. in general, seeing you and yuuji together does very bad things for his brain but not bad enough for him to deny that… also megumi king of safe sex until it comes to watching yuuji cum inside of you goddddd

yuuji is the one who instigates your revenge in the first place (and he will also do the opposite, will convince megumi that he deserves to take some frustration out on you, that you were sooo oblivious while he pined for you for all those years, how you weren’t very observant as his best friend and now he’s got the chance to show you exactly how badly he’s wanted you… but that’s for another time…)—but right now, yuuji’s getting into your head, he’s deceptively charming, not at all innocent, and far too calculated when he stops making out with megumi and turns to you, not too far away, sitting up against the headboard with wide eyes. yuuji thinks you look awfully cute—you always do when you three are together, you have this wide-eyed awe about you; not shy, but definitely still timid about the fact that you’re now dating your childhood best friend and his boyfriend. yuuji loves that look, but he thinks he’d like to ruin it more.

and he takes the opportunity to do so, much to megumi’s surprised and distaste—ignoring megumi’s pawing at the hem of his shirt, impatient, yuuji looks over his shoulder to you and poses, “can i ask you something?”

your eyebrows raise in surprise. megumi’s raise in suspicion, petulantly coming down from the high of making out with yuuji, and craning his head back to look at you. your eyes shift to his briefly, and then back to yuuji’s, almost embarrassed, and when he looks at megumi, there’s a slight blush at the tips of his ears. cute. you two are very cute, and yuuji likes it a lot. it confirms to him exactly what he wants to happen tonight.

“you remember how i told you about yuuta-senpai? and how he’s my best friend, but when he started dating inumaki-senpai, i kinda hated him because they spent so much time together?” yuuji recounts casually, biting back a grin when megumi huffs. you nod, evidently confused, but yuuji continues, slowly reaching a hand up megumi’s arm, over his shoulder, up his jaw, until he reaches the shell of his ear, then asks, “did you ever feel that way about me?”

he can see the shock on your face, hear it from megumi when he gasps a bit and pulls away from yuuji’s touch, “what kind of a—”

but yuuji doesn’t want to hear his side of the story right now. in fact, if all goes his way, he won’t be hearing much of anything from megumi tonight—he reaches his hand back up to pinch at megumi’s ear, and hushes him, “i’m just asking her, meg. she’s my girlfriend now, too. don’t i get to know these things?”

your mouth is slightly ajar, and yuuji chuckles. you’re so quiet, he’s beginning to think he’s scared you, but soon, you smile, sweet, and gentle, and he can’t even blame megumi for fawning over you since middle school. “i—i didn’t hate you yuuji,” you reply, “i thought—think—you’re good for megumi. i just wanted him to be happy, and you make him happy.”

yuuji hums. no wonder you two never got together before. “so you’re the self-sacrificing type, too, huh?” he smiles, far less innocently than you might think, “maybe i should have gotten you and yuuta-senpai together, instead.”

you look like you’re about to refute, but megumi pulls back again, throughly annoyed when he interjects, “what the hell are you—”

but yuuji is quick to move his hand from his ear to his throat, pinching his fingers around his neck with just enough pressure to stutter and silence him.

“i’m still not talking to you,” he reminds megumi, eyes sharp. he squeezes around megumi’s neck a bit tighter, before turning his attention back to you, “was he always like this? always biting before you can bark? must have been kind of annoying to deal with, huh?”

your eyes widen, bambi-like and yuuji almost coos. from where you’re sitting against the headboard, you can’t see megumi’s face completely, just a sliver of his cheek, but you can probably tell by the reddening skin around his neck and ears that yuuji’s not just choking him for show.

“i—uh… it’s not like that, it’s just… yuuji you’re gonna hurt him…”

but, you should also be able to tell that megumi’s not fighting it either.

“you’re always so worried about him,” yuuji pushes megumi back against the pillows, paying no mind to his panting, simply ordering, “stay down.”

yuuji then reaches out for you instead, gently pulling your body towards in him stark contrast to how he’d treated megumi a moment ago—twirling you as best he can while you’re kneeling on the mattress, maneuvering your body so that you’re straddling megumi and yuuji’s back is pressed against yours.

yuuji hears you gasp, ever so lightly, when you inadvertently press your crotch against megumi’s. he almost wants to watch you two do that instead, but right now he’s a man on a mission, so instead, he puts his hands on his hips to keep you still, “see—he can take it. he even likes it.”

you raise a hand to reach out to megumi, but yuuji stops you, forcing your back flush against his front, and caging you in with his arms and resting his chin against your shoulder. he turns his head to kiss you on the cheek, slow, once, and then again, and then against your earlobe, “you wanna try?”

“try—what, choking him?” you ask, trying to turn your head to face yuuji, but he keeps it steady, keeps you facing megumi.

“it’s not like you’re gonna hurt him,” yuuji hums against your skin, trails open-mouthed kisses along your neck. “it’ll feel good, i promise.”

“well, uh... megumi, do you—”

but yuuji raises a hand to squish your cheeks together before you can finish, turns your head to him and tuts, “i’m telling you it’s okay. megumi didn’t ask you before he asked me out, right? you don’t need his permission for everything, princess.”

yuuji’s not just leveraging your feelings against each other now—now it’s sexual knowledge too, all the fantasies megumi has indulged him in about you, all the kinks he has that you’re clueless to. yuuji knows that despite the history you and megumi have, he’s the bridge between you now—and right now, yuuji wants you on his side.

“must bother you a little bit, right?” yuuji coos, releasing his grasp on your cheeks and using his hand to tilt your chin upwards to face him, “that he asked me out when he still had a crush on you. it still bothers me sometimes—and yet he had the nerve to get upset when i asked you about it. kinda selfish, no?”

“i’m just saying, i think you should teach him a lesson,” yuuji continues, using his other hand to help your body rock against megumi’s, drinking in the sight of your pliant lips and the sound of his strained sighs.

megumi’s probably not far from cumming in his boxers at this point, and you’re not far from helping yuuji make him do worse.

“come on, princess,” yuuji smiles, pressing a kiss to your cheek before looking at megumi, “you gonna help me put a leash on him?”

it’s an invitation and a threat, this you seem to understand. you can say yes to yuuji, say yes to having megumi between you two tonight, say yes and have a little bit of power; or you can say no, and be on the receiving end of punishment.

yuuji almost thinks you’ll choose the latter out of loyalty, out of devotion to your best friend, out of shyness and inexperience in taking what you want, but you’re not just megumi’s anymore—your his girl now, too, and you make it known when your soft hand crawls up megumi chest and to his neck, and hesitantly wraps around his throat.

tonight, megumi’s yours and yuuji’s.

“good girl,” yuuji grins, wicked with intent when he presses a kiss to the back of your neck, “now lets have some fun with him.”

Hi! I’m a huge fan of your work. Your art is beautiful!

I started following you for your Itafushi pieces in 2021-ish, and when the Chosoyuki brain rot started, I was also dragged into it. They are going to move mountains when they interact in the anime. 😮‍💨

I was wondering if you have any Chosoyuki fic recommendations aside from those you have already shared?

Thanks again!!

I don't remember what were the last ones I recommended so I'll certainly miss something but anyways, here are some recs!

College au! https://archiveofourown.org/works/50292799 Vampire au! https://archiveofourown.org/works/50623360 Smut! https://archiveofourown.org/works/45818998 Automechanic au! https://archiveofourown.org/works/45618349 A pushing daisies au! https://archiveofourown.org/works/49510099 High school au! https://archiveofourown.org/works/45534832

You know what I love, when fandoms have fics that are fully flushed-out storylines that are occasionally better than the source material. Like No Paths Are Bound, and The Rigel Black Chronicles, were godsends.

I firmly believe that every fandom should have a fic that the whole fandom knows that takes place in-universe.

Like if I see another person say that the ultimate Klance fic is Dirty Laundry I'm gonna flip my shit, like no 😭😭, I want something that's long, in-universe, the fan-favorites survive, the characters are flushed out, and it doesn't completely forget about the other characters.

If anyone has any fics from the following fandom/ships that meet those requirements, or honestly just well-written fics in general, please rec them 🙏🙏:

Voltron (Klance, or just voltron fics in general)

Merlin (Merthur)

Batfam [Platonic]

DC (Birdflash, HalBarry, Supersons, Timkon, Young Justice fics, Boostle)

Marvel (Team Red [Platonic], SpideyTorch, Peter Parker [plot-centric fics])

Tgcf (MuQing, HuaLian, Beefleaf)

Mdzs (Wangxian, Jiang Cheng and Wei Ying [platonic], Nie Huaisang [plot-centric], Wei Yin [plot-centric])

Harry Potter (Harry Potter [plot-centric], Jily, Marauders [plot-centric], Wolfstar, Drarry, Dorlene)

Orv (Kim Dokja (plot-centric), Joongdok, YooHanKim [platonic], Yoo Sangah/Han Sooyoung [ship])

JJK (SatoSugu, ItaFushi, Itadori (plot-centric), Maki/Nobara)

She-Ra (Adora (plot-centric), Catradora)

My Hero Academia (I can't remember all the ships/friendships, so honestly just give me anything that isn't pro-shipping, or bakudeku)

Percy Jackson ((plot-centric on basically anyone is fine), Percabeth, Solangelo, Hazel/Frank)

Supergirl (SuperLuthur)

some questions about jujutsu I would appreciate it if you could answer me. 1. do you think megumi and itadori are a comparison to geto and gojo? 2. What do you find most tragic about geto and gojo's relationship? 3.if geto didn't exist, who would you ship gojo with? ps; I would ship toji and gojo.

Answering these out of order to hide spoilers!

3. If Geto didn't exist, I would ship Gojo with Nanami. Nanami would be bothered 600% of the time.

2.Most tragic is the fact that, while Gojo always looked at Geto's soul and accepted him unconditionally, Geto thought their relationship was over the moment he chose to leave Jujutsu High and they never reconciled this disparity while living. If you want an exhaustive list of the things that rot my brain and prevent me from remembering basic things like my childhood and the Pythagorean theorem, please, feel free to read this recently updated and ongoing list. 😭

Lastly, yes, I think ItaFushi are meant to be a parallel to SatoSugu. See below for why!

⚠️ Spoiler Warning through JJK chapter 247.

The comparison isn't perfect but I don't know that it's meant to be.

I feel like I reference Naruto a lot for having not seen it but I'm pretty sure it's a solid example of the generational failures of the Uchiha clans and the Hidden Leaf Village as overcome by Sasuke and Naruto, respectively.

I think that JJK could be a circular story (check out the Rick & Morty progression, in particular) and that SatoSugu and ItaFushi seem to run as parallels. To simplify, we'll break it up by the OG for parallels:

SATORU

and Megumi (he got blue eyes when he's supposed to have green.. 💎👄💎)

Born of Jujutsu royalty with a familial technique

Familial technique damns them to a burden of responsibility. Gojo became the head of the Gojo clan, Megumi is bought and sold but effectively abdicates his place with the Zenin

When given the chance, relents to leverage the value of his cursed technique to protect others that they deem deserving. Gojo protects Megumi, Yuta and Yuji; Megumi protects Tsumiki and later, Yuji.

In spite of the above, will execute their responsibilities of a sorcerer but will also pick and choose if they will do something outside of that obligation. Think back to Megumi's moral judgement when it came to those in the detention center and Gojo's willingness to act outside of direct orders because... he could.

Just leaving the visual evidence of these little weirdos

and Yuji

The Sun characters but not without shadow.

Blessed births, even though Yuji's was... untraditional, it forged him as a powerful vessel with inhuman strength without a heavenly restriction.

Anomalous strength. Gojo for Six Eyes and Limitless which haven't been seen together in one user in over 100 years. Yuji is able to produce Black Flashes at will and at a rate which is canonically uncommon.

Experienced death and rebirth which brought about change in them. Gojo found enlightenment; Yuji, while in hiding, experienced loss, the tragedy of which marked him noticeably.

They both know the alienation of greatness. Both undergo power ups shattering the ceiling of their previously understood power thresholds and go beyond the comprehension or without the knowledge of their counterparts. Gojo, I think, knew that it would foundationally upset something between he and Geto. Yuji probably just thinks he is getting acclimated to the new world he finds himself within and doesn't realize how insane his glow up has been.

Guilt for not being able to save someone "close to them". Gojo, obviously, with Geto and Yuji with Junpei, initially, but that list has grown. Exponentially.

SUGURU

and Megumi

The Moon characters but they have something worth fighting for that gives them an air of light.

Both believe in and will act on behalf of the weak. Geto believes the strong should protect the weak and keep the strong in check. Megumi believes that if someone cannot observe the basic tenet of don't kill me, I won't kill you, he should exact punishment whether the person infringed on this basic law with him or not.

Despite their code, they still develop or have a discerning application of their morals.

But what happens when that morality is tested? Geto realizes the weak are capable of harm when he discovers the abuse of Nanako and Himiko. Megumi, if he hasn't already, will eventually come to understand that saving Yuji came at the cost of countless lives, including that of Tsumiki, in a way, even if she died by his own hand.

Know intimately the loss of someone they were close with only to find that person returned to them.. but different.

Feeling left behind by the power ups of their counterparts, they are left to their own devices. Notably, Geto spirals into depression and PTSD, Megumi, citing the difference, asks Gojo for additional lessons so he doesn't fall behind.

Doomed by the narrative? or at least by their power. Kenjaku covets Geto's body for the hold it has over Gojo and, possibly, the cursed technique that enabled him to espouse Mahito and Tengen's techniques. Sukuna covets Megumi for Ten Shadows.

Subsequently, both are possessed by something that easily outclasses them but they still are able to rebel when fighting against their counterparts. Geto's corpse strangles Kenjaku in Shibuya; Megumi manipulates how much cursed energy is output when Sukuna fights against Yuji.

Both of them recognize that, despite their counterpart's strength, they are still deserving of concern and worry. This is likely informed by the knowledge of their own weakness and inability to protect.

and Yuji

Outsiders to jujutsu society

Get their power/strength from ingesting something unholy; curses or cursed relics. Either way, both seem to beg the question of how long one can you these things before it poisons something within you?

Earnestly want to help people with a martyr mentality. The idea being, if I am the only one with this power then it's my responsibility to do something; Geto with his role as a sorcerer and Yuji as the only person who can consume Sukuna

Subsequently damned by this noble desire. Geto finds that the sacrifice is no longer palatable after the sacrifices of Riko and Haibara and the abuse of Nanako and Himiko. Yuji experiences survivors' guilt for every slight Sukuna is able to inflict while he continues to live.

A pattern of failure to protect (Riko and Junpei) followed by the loss of a companion (Haibara and Nanami, and what a way for their deaths to mirror one another...) as an impetus for great change in their characters.

The wealth of their goodness has the potential to cause just as big a vacuum of negativity when they break. Arguably this is what pushes the invisible hand that guides the events that radicalizes Geto and informs Mahito's insistence to break Yuji's soul.

Speaking of souls - this idea of their soul's in particularly. Gojo seeing and recognizing Geto's. Mahito feeling the edge of Yuji/Sukuna's soul. We see that Sukuna can aim attacks at Megumi's soul but... why did the goodness in Geto's persist for Gojo to love him unconditionally? How did Yuji's soul withstand external attacks from Mahito and internal attacks from Sukuna?

Where SatoSugu's fatal flaw was hubris, we don't see that with ItaFushi and that, perhaps, is the biggest indication that they're correcting the faults of their forebears while also suffering the repercussions of their failure.

Gege Akutami could absolutely have the whole story end in flames, don't get me wrong. I would 10,000% be invested to the very last page. There's no guarantee that this is a circular story, that any of these characters find peace or that any of them even survive but I can't help but see the similarities, at least as far these four are concerned.
