Yuuji "I get off on being insignificant" versus Sukuna "I get off on being seen"
That's very funny y'know. Hilarious really. The fact these two match each other's freak so precisely that there isn't anyone that can comprehend that much less see them as they are and what they truly like
Sukuna can be fucked by Yuuji and worshipped in unimaginable ways all the while arguing how Yuuji isn't doing it right and Yuuji'll just turn a rabid animal after that and argue back with absolute filth of all else he had planned to do to him because just look at him and they'd push and bite at each other till the brink before they'd both stop just to look at the state of the other which would be enough to make them see not stars but seven different fucking galaxies when they cum because each's shaken wrecked animalistic state would confirm that they are made for each other like do y'all see the vision do y'all understand how this is important
Do y'all understand how Yuuji makes it better for Sukuna as does Sukuna for him because both see that like Sukuna knows this idiot yaps too much about how weak he is for someone who obliterates everything in his path without batting an eye and meanwhile Yuuji's aware this mf yaps far too much about being indifferent for someone who nearly salivates like a dog at the thought of proving himself capable
Like it doesn't get better than that because they practically go hand in hand soul wise and kink wise Sukuna gets to call someone as overwhelmingly powerful as Yuuji insignificant and gets praised and cherished and you're perfect for me made for me as mantras breathed into his skin and the power in it is the same for Yuuji, for him it's the thought of Sukuna seeing him as worthless as nothing as a tool and refusing him to be anything else that's thrilling and addicting so much because he'd turn that monstrous strength and translate it into love to brand onto Sukuna's skin over and over until he tells him to stop but he never does that because he knows Sukuna will never tell him to just like how Sukuna knows the more he rejects and absolves Yuuji of the meaning he carries, the more relentless Yuuji is and the more he gives and the more he loves
The irony of it all is so fucking powerful because Sukuna's refusal of Yuuji will translate as Yuuji's pure, unhinged adoring which in turn inherently translates to Sukuna receiving what he wants like god the way they'd both be absolutely delirious and obsessed with each other when they realize it and start giving more and more because their version of i love you is answered by the other in a perfectly. aligned. fucking. way.
Like do y'all really get it because I can go on and on about this I could say that on some nights Yuuji falls back onto the bed and Sukuna tells him to just be useless for a while as he fucks him and Yuuji being Yuuji smiles widely wraps his legs around his lower waist and just praises him enough that it leaves Sukuna with several open wounds on his back and nearly a crushed windpipe but this'll never deter Sukuna, he'd just be more turned on he'd go further he'd say I could obliterate you here and Yuuji'll smile as he answers with you're the only one strong enough to do so... you can imagine what follows next they just both end up passing out out of sheer bliss and perhaps the funniest thing is that they always claim that this was the best sex ever in their lives like it'll always be: have sex -> wow i've never felt like this before, have sex -> wow i've never felt like this before, have sex -> wow i've never felt like this before like each experience is new because it brings forth the emotion of being loved and being seen truly. it's a reminder that this feeling cannot be found with anyone except the other
Do y'all get it because if you don't I could go further I could show you how for them it goes even outside of sex how it translates not into something merely carnal and primitive but into spiritual. Their wants are perfectly reflected in the way they present themselves with Yuuji being the golden boy who shows kindness and yet there is only this one person who recognizes his kindness as violence and indifference. Why? Because he greets him with it each time. Sukuna, meanwhile, enjoys killing yet there is only one person who recognizes that violence as kindness and human emotion. Why? Again. Because he greets him with it each time. Separate them and you'll never see with others what they show to each other, unite them and you'll see just how special they could be
Canon explicitly frames Yuuji as the only one who finds such passion in being seen as nothing and Sukuna is the only one who answers him exactly with that in mind. Boring, bland, useless, etc. He refuses him because refusing him is what nobody else does. Likewise, Sukuna is the only one who finds such passion in being seen as a curse and Yuuji is the only one who sees him as that like others see him as an ideal of strength yet he sees him merely as an abomination that should perish. Perhaps they both see in each other what they see in themselves... Yuuji sees himself as a curse, Sukuna sees himself as a human and they both long to be seen as they are and not as the world tells them to be like why do you think Yuuji wanted them to try again, it is because he wants to live with someone who finally understands him and sees him and he doesn't want there to be any differences between them, he wants them both to be human so they could be together without anyone telling them what they are to each other and how they should just kill each other
Do y'all understand now like I could go on and on about them for days I could make you see them in ways no one else has ever prompted you to think about I could make fics I could make various posts I could make memes I could go on and on about them as a ship or as merely enemies or friends because they are so special to me and no one else in this goddamn manga has what they have
It pisses me off so bad how when I turn to look at others I remember them instantly because I am cursed to remember what drove Yuuji to insanity, what drove him to his desperation to produce a goddamn Domain Expansion last minute just so he could convince him of something he already knows Sukuna won't accept but it doesn't matter he just needed time with him, I remember what drove Sukuna to insanity, what drove him to redirect his focus solely onto Yuuji, I remember what drove him to switch vessels and watch Yuuji's desperation culminate into Yuuji holding him to tell him to try again, I remember how they move each other, how no one comes close enough, how others don't have that something and I just want to combust fuck this ship man fuck I am cursed to worship it I am cursed to love it forever in every single form
