well ! its not that they WANTED to use gojos body, but they needed to in a time of desperation. nobody is happy abt it, especially not yuuta who saw gojo as more than his body.
they all deserved better, not just gojo. but also shokos reaction is pretty on brand lol she cares but understands why it needs to be done
(sorry im rambling gege is truly evil, a genius but evil nd tbh ion think we should blame anyone there for not objecting to what needed to be done)
I am not blaming any characters here, because you are right, they all suffered in one way or the other throughout the story.
It's just the blatant disrespect of Gojo's body that pisses me off, and like many people pointed out - he was just a weapon to his own friends and his own students (except Yuta in this chapter, who still showed some concern for him and Yuji in general)
Sukuna paid his dead body more respect than that please.
But the sorcerers were more concerned for Yuta than they ever were for Gojo. We barely got any reaction to his death except for Yuta and Yuji. Yes, they faced a time constraint and they needed to think quick, but gege could have given us one panel of their reaction right? The grief?
And it's not about the characters, it's about the man who wrote them. Yes maybe it's him being the evil writer, but you're telling me Yuta survived the slash for some time but Gojo didn't? Idk smells like bad writing to me.
And then Shoko, who left the room when they announced Geto needs to be killed, Shoko, who was so stressed during Shibuya that she started smoking again, and the Shoko who eagerly wanted Gojo back would just allow it? Even Gojo who generally doesn't express his feelings expressed that he was annoyed by that.
But yeah, not blaming the characters here except Gege. I get what you are saying about him, but you can just tell that this chapter was written to play with our emotions. Because i don't know, logically it doesn't make sense to me.
Also, it's just my opinion, you don't have to agree with it!

Like OK so I've been reading a fic with trans wolfwood in it that is so. HONEST. About how it affected him and still affects him. In a way that's very much not an average cis writer portrayal of a trans character.
Like. Either this writer is trans or did plenty of research, but it just feels REAL to me. And it has me thinking about my own way of writing trans Wolfwood.
I'm not there yet. But I've been thinking about it. The ways that what the EOM did fucked him up... but it also acted as HRT that affirmed his gender. So what do you do when you're in a body you don't recognize, but looks much more like a man than ever before? There's some gender euphoria in a way, but dysphoria at the same time bc you didn't grow into this. You didn't watch yourself transition. Suddenly you just Were this, and it's not you, but also it's nice to finally be seen as a man, but it also feels wrong to feel grateful for any part of what they did to you...
On and on and on
You see? This is what I want to think about with him. This is why trans Wolfwood is so compelling to me. It's just so Complicated, he'd have such Complicated feelings about his body and the way he lives with it. He learns this new body, it starts to feel more like his, but he also mourns the fact that he didn't get to watch it grow into this like he should've.
That kind of thing.

FOUR YEARS OF NOXTMS / six characters !
ft. @viiktorious ( my absolute favorite take on viktor, in the sense that no one else could ever really compare. i think you write him so well when it would be so easy for him to be very oversimplified, and one of the most pleasant surprises of this year - at least so far - has been you bringing him back to the dash ! ), @hoggleswart ( i don't know how well documented my 'sarah shahi deserves to be used more in the rpc' movement is here in nox, but i have been leading that charge for so many years and i was already so invested in roshana before you ticked all my favorite boxes in a character. i love ocs connected to existing canons in ways other than siblings or children, and i'm always a sucker for someone achingly sad ! ), @hcldmybroom ( not unlike the above, i have been wanting ambika to become the next big thing for so long that i, again, was always predisposed to loving a character using her ! there is so much - so far - untapped potential for drama with minette that makes me gleeful, and i really, really enjoy what i have seen of them so far ! ), @chacswins ( this guy is always gonna hurt my heart, and i'm always gonna be way more into that than i should be</3 you and sam are neck to neck in my personal 'most anticipated returns' list, and i'm so happy to be able to play around with you in all the angsty ways i've grown to love playing around with you in over the years of friendship and development we've had ! i'm so fond of damien in a way i think doesn't get expressed enough, and so grateful that his existence has provided me with 1. a whole character, in luca and 2. so many new layers for other characters ! ), @tosteelisms ( cara macdonald, my beloved, i am so glad that someone has finally given you a chance to thrive when you have so deserved it for so long ! she's one of my most adored creations, here, and i am so glad that i was able to entrust her into such capable hands ! you came into nox swinging, and i have loved seeing her form ! ), @acritudos ( last, but not at all least. theo nott was talked about at such length for so long that it would have been so easy for him to lose momentum but. of course. that was never going to happen in your hands. he is everything i've always dreamed of and more in terms of all the various dynamics i always wanted - with pansy, with the slytherin gang as a whole, with astoria, with ginny. with everyone, really ! - and of course it would be you that would give me those goods. how on earth could i expect any differently ! as always, i feel very lucky to write with you and develop such complex connections with you, and i hope that never changes<3 ) !
