good vibes/bad juju - 01

A/N: i just wanted more badass OC content so that’s what i wrote. [AO3 link here]

Who wins in a fight: Gojo Satoru, first wielder of the Six Eyes and Limitless techniques in a century, head of the Gojo clan and strongest jujutsu sorcerer in the world.... or a youth sport coach with a baseball bat?

While on a mission overseas, Gojo gets K-O'd by an unknown person. Within a week, every sorcerer in Japan has heard about it.

chapter one: unfounded rumors Zenin Naoya wants to meet the sorcerer that beat Gojo.

At the end of the day, Naoya is left… disappointed. From the reports he’d heard, this woman was supposed to be the wild card—the new element unaccounted for in the stacking order within the jujutsu world. She was supposed to be a dangerous new player on the field, with a technique subversive enough to make even the higher-ups think twice.

He’s seen no evidence of such a person existing. All he sees is an ordinary woman. One with poor manners and not much else.

Perhaps he should be relieved by this. If the rumors had been true, Naoya would have had to intervene. There simply couldn’t be a sorcerer more powerful than Gojo Satoru. Not some nameless girl, living anonymously in America.

As she approaches the entrance to her apartment building, she finally sets down the small child that’s been clinging to her all afternoon. She’s a nanny , doing a servant’s job.

Am I even looking at the right person? How is this the person that brought Gojo Satoru to his knees? Naoya wonders from his car across the street. His hand runs along the edge of his suit jacket aimlessly, disliking the way it felt. He regretted this trip as soon as he stepped foot in New York. This is useless. The rumors were unfounded after all .

“Naoya-sama,” his driver says in a hushed, urgent voice.

“What?” he snaps, looking up.

“The—on the wall,” the driver nods to the apartment building.

The woman is still there on the steps, and the two children are drawing in chalk on the sidewalk. She has a yellow piece of chalk in her hand, occasionally tossing it up in the air and then catching it.

On the brick facade of the building, she’s scrawled out a message.

—/—/—/—

“Miss Yoshi, Miss Yoshi,” a little girl tugs at her hand. “¿Qué es eso, Miss Yoshi? Are you writing something?”

“Yes,” Yoshi replies evenly, handing the chalk back to the girl. “I’m practicing my letters. It’s been a while since I’ve written in kanji…”

“Pero eres adulta, ¡ya no necesitas practicar!” the little girl protests seriously. “Grown-ups don’t gotta practice writing, do they?” Yoshi looks past her, towards the black sedan with tinted windows parked across the street. She can’t see who’s inside, but she knows they’ve been watching her all day.

“Yoshiiii!” The girl whines. “You’re grown up, you don’t need to practice!”

“Ah,” Yoshi acts surprised. “I forgot about that. You’re right. I’ll erase it,” she declares, pulling her sleeve over her palm and swiping away the yellow characters. “Is that better?”

The girl’s face scrunches in confusion. “You didn't have to erase it,” she mumbles. “What did it say, anyway? No pude leerlo, Yoshi.”

“That’s too bad,” Yoshi shrugs. “Guess you’ll never know.”

“Yoshiiiii, nooooo!”

See you on the roof

It’s written in Japanese, not English.

Naoya leans back in his seat, amused. He’s not impressed just yet, but perhaps there was more to this girl after all. At the very least, Naoya could admit that he’s looking forward to finding out.

[Next Chapter Here]

Author’s note: this story begins just after episode 7 of the anime, after Gojo fights Mt. Fuji dude, and before he meets with Principal Gakuganji. My OCs are multilingual, but any important dialogue will either be written in English or be translated, in-story or in the author’s notes. I’m not totally fluent in all of the languages I use, so if I mess up anywhere I encourage readers to help me out.

[batsandboba]

(opening the author’s works page after finishing a fic) and if im lucky they’ll have written this exact same fic but different a bunch more times

[midnights-dragon]

[beeloveboo]

[netherworldpost]

;)

[tokkibean]

get a really good scene idea

write fic so that you can write the really good scene idea

write the really good scene idea

realise that you now need to write the rest of the fic

realise that you have no plot & no idea what to do bc you've already written the really good scene idea

panic.

[killalluchihas]

Will there ever be a part in gv/bg detailing Yoshi and Gojo’s fight in Germany (from Gojo’s perspective maybe since Yoshi doesn’t remember it well)?

I don't really plan on writing it, lol! Maybe I'll come back to it in some kind of one shot, but there isn't much that happened in it that hasn't been mentioned already.

Writing Resources to use instead of AI

For coming up with character names:

Behind the name (my absolute fav)

Allows you to choose the origin of where you want the name to be from, whether you want a more feminine vs masculine vs androgenous name (as voted by users), random surname generator, and clicking on the name gives you important info like if there are any famous people with the same name, where it’s from, how common it is, and how people tend to see it, etc.

You can also search their name database by letter or meaning or origin, so if you know you want a character who has a name/surname that starts with an A from Ireland, there’s a whole list for you to choose from.

Census sites

Especially useful if you’re looking for a name from a specific place and/or time period. Just search “(country) census (year)” and you’ll find a database of real people who lived in that place at that time. No one can ever call your names unrealistic again.

For coming up with place names:

Fantasy name generator

This site can basically come up with any name for any person, place, or thing you might ever need. There are also specific generators for different fandoms if you’re looking to make an OC in an established world.

For finding that one word on the tip of your tongue:

One Look Thesaurus

This is my go-to. Not only can you find synonyms like a regular thesaurus, but you can also describe words like “unhappy smile” or “quiet laugh” to find the more specific word you’re looking for.

WordHippo

Works as a thesaurus (very similar to One Look) but also includes search options for words that rhyme, words that contain a specific letter or are a specific length, different word forms, sentences with a specific word etc. etc. It's like Thesaurus++

For coming up with ideas:

Word cloud

When I need to inspire a new idea, I write down all the things I’m interested in (hauntings, academia, lesbians, etc.) and put them into a word cloud to shuffle them next to each other. Sometimes seeing a concept in a new context can spark new ideas!

WWF Discord

This is my discord channel (shameless plug) for when you need to brainstorm off other people but don’t have anyone irl to talk to. We’re also happy to read and give feedback on writing, answer writing questions, or just chat!

For visualizing places and characters:

Pinterest

Pinterest can at times be a bit too sterile for my tastes, but if you use the right words, you can find more realistic photos of places. For example, adding “aesthetic” after basically any word will bring up a more broad collection of photos to help you flesh out places.

This is also a great way to find photos of people and fashion to help visualize characters. I’m bad at describing clothes, so I usually collect photos of outfits to help me know what my characters are wearing. Searching up “character inspiration” will collect more interesting photos and drawings of people who might not exactly be of our world.

(However, to make Pinterest not show you AI results, you have to go into your settings and check the “reduce AI” box. Luckily, it does mostly work.)

Death to Stock

Like pinterest but completely AI free (hooray!) Only drawback is that you have to pay a monthly subscription (about $20 CAD).

Cosmos

Very similar to pinterest but slightly more "artsy". I'm not super familiar with this one but I believe all the photos are human and you can save them and create collections with a free account.

Dupe Photos

Royalty-free stock image site with very Pinterest-core photos!

Minecraft

If you haven’t built your entire fictional city in Minecraft instead of writing, why not? It’s fun.

The Sims

This one is dual purpose because you can not only create your characters in Create a Sim, but you can design their houses. If you really want to go for it, you can bulldoze all the lots in your town and build your world from scratch.

Hero Forge

This character creator is intended for making D&D minis, so it has more fantasy-like options over the Sims if your characters are a bit out of this world.

House Plans.com

I was introduced to this resource through the comments on this post and it has quickly become one of my favourite things to use. If you struggle with the layout of buildings, this site lets you choose beds/baths/sq ft etc. and will show you house plans created by designers that most closely match your specs. You can also search by style instead if you're more interested in the aesthetics.

For checking grammar:

Grammar Girl

Easy to follow definitions and examples, and if you learn better by listening, every article comes with a podcast to follow along with instead.

Grammar Monster

This one is my favourite for checking grammar rules because there’s tons of examples in graphics that helps for any situation.

Reedsy

Among other things, reedsy can connect you to professional editors within your budget.

For writing advice:

One Stop for Writers

This one was recommended from my discord channel and has all sorts of tutorials and resources for the writing craft.

My Blog Directory

Another shameless plug, but if you need writing advice on something specific, you can search through my directory to see if it’s there. If it isn’t, you can always send me an ask about it!

For an alternative to Google Docs:

Ellipsus

Think google docs but without AI. Yay!

Scrivener

A more comprehensive writing software created specifically for writers, however there is a one-time payment to use ($80 CAD).

(will update this list with any more suggestions or resources I discover 😊 Thanks to everyone for your recs!)

no you do not need to hold fictional characters "accountable". they are not real.

ooooh i just watched the first episode of witch hat atelier and ooooh it's all about written magic. if you don't know already, that's EXACTLY how I imagine Yoshi's talisman and sutras operate, just with cursed energy instead of magic (because CE is just magic to me, i don't care what gege says).

i am LOVING the visuals of those glowing circles and stuff. and the action sequences are sooo dynamic, love that for witch hat. i think the premise of the show seems a little weak, like the One Great Rule is that no one can know how easy it is to cast spells... anyone with a steady hand and a penchant for doodling can make up a nice mandala and set themselves on fire or whatever, so I hope they address that at some point... also, qifrey has blue eyes and white hair.... i miss my man...

[valtsv]

thinking about the ethics of prophecy and its role as a narrative tool of coercion and control again

[valtsv]

like. if you're beholden to a set of conditions that must either be followed or subverted in order to produce a favourable outcome or avoid unfavourable consequences (or led to believe you are), subject to the decree of a higher authority whose statements you are expected to accept as the absolute, unbiased, factual truth, and structure your existence in accordance with, is that not just prison? you can't convince me that isn't just an elaborate psychologically abusive prison.

[valtsv]

it's not enough to simply defy the prophecy we need to abolish fate

[killalluchihas]

“I’m slowly forgetting your face” trend but with Yoshi and her dad..

💔💔💔💔

[killalluchihas]

I think it’s really sweet Yoshi learned Japanese even though her mom couldn’t speak it anymore. ☹️❤️

Did she do it for potential sorcerer reasons? Or just to get closer to her heritage? Not to mention she’s fluent in Spanish and English too! Yoshi is my inspiration to learn Spanish right now.

She learned Spanish for the heritage, and because of her neighborhood and community. Japanese was mostly for the sorcery stuff, but it became personally important when her mom started to forget the language.
