Worm: a thing that exists
There's an astronomical aberration,
unknowable is its name.
So, for Irony's sake, say worm (not snake;
we'll keep the imagery lame).
This worm has an end, an inside and out,
rippley skin and leathery snout.
This worm is quite plump, but shrively too—
which happens to rhyme with point of view.
This worm consumes
This worm gestates
This worm emmits
This worm pulsates
yet
The cruelest lesson we learn from worm
comes from question most kind.
'Fyou're something like me
ya'ask what she seeks,
but wormy, my dear, is blind.
x'(
This poor omnipotent presence
pitifully slithers through dirt—
dirt of the mind, of space and of time
—unbothered by ideas of worth.
So next time the the sidewalk is dry
next time the coiled lay died
turn to the worm, his palace of sky
and all's left will be all right.
alternative title, God is a worman

Trips and drops everyone’s Kieran AUs.
The legends arceus one though must be wild, like imagine getting isekaid when you’re mid having a mental breakdown. You wanted to be stronger? Ok then go wrestle all of gods creatures with your bare hands and document it.

Another quick drawing for you guys. No matter what Billy does, Stu won't stop randomly calling him during his hunting trips out of boredom.
Stu manages to freak him out a little sometimes.

It's fucking wild to see someone defend Mei Mei and demand people to blame Gege instead for her pedophilia and grooming.
WTF?
If you love a dark character, then accept everything that they are in the story. Mei Mei is one. She is a side character that is dark despite being on the heroes' side of the fight.
I appreciate what Gege had done to her character. I like it because thru her we see how rotten the modern jujutsu society is - that the heroes' side is not exactly great especially with the likes of Gojo and Nanami being gone.
A lot of people already pointed out that Mei is used as a foil for Nanami. I agree. She is everything he is not:
- Nanami left stock trading. Mei is doing insider trading.
- Nanami fights for the greater good. Mei is only in it for the paycheck.
- Nanami protects children. Mei exploits children.
- Nanami continues to fight even if he is half-dead. Mei retreats even if she is still perfectly fine.
- Nanami has morals. Mei is immoral.
But why did someone good (Nanami) die a horrible death while someone bad (Mei Mei) got rewarded (practically highlighted with her escaping to Malaysia -which was Nanami's dream retirement place)? It's to highlight how broken and bleak jujutsu society is - bad people benefit but good people suffer. It also shows how the only difference between the sorcerers (sans our "heroes") and the curse users are just rule compliance and pay checks.
Speaking of which:
What Mei Mei is doing to Ui Ui is exactly like what that Granny Seance did to her Tojified Grandson. Both women are grooming boys younger than they into perfect tools to complement their CTs. They don't see them as brother or grandson respectively. Those words are mere "titles". It's like how you would call an giant axe "Axe" and straw dolls "Dolls."
Mei is the perfect example of what a peak sorcerer is in modern jujutsu society - strong and smart but selfish, self-absorbed, exploitative, and immoral.
I like Mei for what she delivers in the story:
1) A very dark character that represents the rotten core of the jujutsu society.
2) A complex female character - she is on your side but she is definitely not an ally you'd want. However, you need all the help you can get so you are forced to accept her but deep down you want her to get some comeuppance for all she's been doing.
3) Despite her... Mei-ness, she still has a really cool character design and powers as well as really badass scenes.
4) An excellent foil to Nanami (and maybe even Gojo if I stretch it a bit).
5) A great reminder that with the exception of the sorcerers within Gojo's close circle (Tokyo Tech staff/alumni + Utahime & her students), sorcerers are absolute scumbags. Mei's principle is pretty similar to Sukuna's! They're all about: Me, Myself, and I living it up and having fun at everyone's expense.
6) She is the closest I could get to a "villainess" in JJK. The villains in JJK is male-dominated with 2 gender-neutrals (Hanami + Uraume). Geto's family has very little screen time for me to get something out of them (Lady Secretary, Nanako & Mimiko). Yeah it's shonen but still... Gege is starving me with good villainesses 😭.
So TLDR: Mei Mei is not defensible but feel free to like/love her anyway. Being a fan of villains or dark characters is not a representation of a person's morals after all. Do not blame Gege for using her as a narrative tool to remind people again ( because we have to admit that we always kinda forget): the world of JJK is unfair and it really fucking sucks being a nice person there. Not that Gege is a perfect writer at all. There are plenty of other stuff to be angry about in his work like the pacing for example or the underutilization of interesting side characters or the story being so "scattered" into various mediums.

So I had a dream about a worm boy who serves the god of decay. The worm boys name given in the dream is Dimrir. I wondered if this dumb brain word actually meant anything so I googled it, a few youtube videos in a different language popped up. I scurried over to translate and popped Dimrir in. Aparently it means dying. Thats extremely fitting and im keeping Dimrir the worm now.
