I write stuff now apparently

Ao3 doesn't wanna host art so I gotta sneak it on there with Tumblr (thnx Hellsite (affectionate))

[overly-verbose]

UPDATE: NO LONGER 'SHADOWBANNED' WOO YES

(Apparently the blog was wrongly flagged for spam, but Staff fixed it so woo yea)

My (new, everything until now doesn't seem to) stuff will actually appear in the carefully curated tags, and reblogs, and stuff just woo yeah I'm no longer invisible

(Also I can answer comments normally instead of in the tags woo yeah again!!)

Also I just realised I have no link from here to my fic's Main Series proper lol

An Archive of Our Own, a project of the Organization for Transformative Works

Full title: "SIkuna's guide to not fucking up perfectly good children (look at them, they could get anxiety!)"

Ao3 whole series summary:

(alternative title: "SIkuna's guide to catching a cyclops cat by the throat in the KFC parking lot at 3am")

'Holy shit someone needs to hug those kids. Some adults too, to be honest', once thinks a fan of Jujutsu Kaisen, the definitely and absolutely only fictional franchise

Then, he abruptly finds himself at the beginning of the story as Sukuna, mister Basically The Devil, of all things

Completely blindsided by the weird cards given, he tries his best to prevent some things from affecting the characters-turned-people he already cared about even before they turned real

To better or worse results.

.

(It's an ongoing (there's still a LOT to go through lol) fix-it fic for the Canon Series so I feel like I'm contributing a little bit to the prevention of Lobotomy Kaisen getting even worse rn lmao)

I'm gonna leave the old Pinned Post for archival purposes/context of what's up with the tag-answers though

[Old pinned post under the cut]

I made up a way to answer comments here

(though it's annoyingly limited and inefficient and doesn't give notifications)

whilst I can't do it normally

(hey Tumblr staff I've been waiting on that email back for like three months now! :D)

- IN THE TAGS!

yeah it's kinda oof but modern (hellsite shadowban for no reason) problems require modern (hellsite shadowban for no reason) solutions!

*perishes*

[overly-verbose]

Lol, I put this on submit instead of ask. Sorry if you see this twice, I have no idea how that function works on this hellsite.

Be a curse spirit.

Not just any curse spirit, a special grade curse spirit. Complete with intelligence, an intimidating form, and a powerful technique that you wield with a level of expertise that only the oldest curse spirits can hope to match.

You're having fun, causing mayhem, maybe even eating a few of those humans that look so tasty.

You get into a few fights -- puny sorcerers who cannot hope to stand up to your might -- and relish the fear and terror you cause.

You go unbested, unharmed for a long while after you've formed. You doubt anyone can truly end you and your pride swells.

You feel invincible.

Then you come across a pink-haired human. A infant sorcerer judging by their curse energy.

You figure you could use a laugh and goad the human into a fight by killing a few baby humans that so happened to be lying around --

Or at least, you try to. The infant sorcerer proves to be more than a little bit skilled, along with fast. It rips the baby humans from your clutches and attacks you.

*A SERIES OF BRUTAL PUNCHES*

...okay wow, that actually hurt. A first for you.

Also, what the hell. How in the name of all that is unholy is this infant sorcerer so fast? And strong? You can sense its curse energy and aside from the delayed response from its curse energy it doesn't seem to be using any other techniques.

Is -- is it just naturally that fast and strong?!

That's...

No matter, as the infant sorcerer has left an opening for you to attack!

You lash out with your technique, laughing as it cuts through the infant sorcerer's flesh and bone --

Whoa.

Wait.

What?

Is -- is this sorcerer regenerating?

You cast out your elite special grade curse senses and -- okay yeah, that's positive energy.

Alright, so the infant sorcerer has reverse curse technique. No big deal, you have some regeneration of your own. Plus, you've gone up against your own kind many times in the past so you know what to do.

The infant sorcerer can't last forever, especially with all the curse energy its throwing out. You just have to wait for it to run out of energy and you'll have it.

*PUNCH*

Any second now.

*PUNCH*

Aaaaany second now.

*PUNCH*

...alright, what the FUCK.

How is this little insect's curse energy not going down?!

You must have hit it at least three dozen times in the last minute alone, each attack designed to be lethal as fuck! You can sense the positive energy in the air, you know its being used, and yet the kid's curse energy is barely affected!

Does this kid have a second technique?! Is that a thing?!

Alright, whatever. Whatever. You'll just wear this little twerp down and --

*FEAR*

*TERROR*

*THE EYE OF THE BEAST*

You are blasted with the worst wave of malice you have ever felt in your short life.

It as though hell itself ripped open, revealing the hunger and cruelty of a thousand demons who sought nothing more than to feed on your suffering.

The paralyzes you completely. The infant sorcerer takes advantage of this.

*BLACK FLASH*

*BLACK FLASH*

*BLACK FLASHx4*

FUCK THAT HURT!

Okay, you know what? Fuck this, you're going all out.

You whip out your Domain. The foolish sorcerer doesn't bother to escape, no doubt knowing that it is pointless. It is already within your guaranteed-hit effect and with how lethal your technique is, there is no way it'll have enough of its body left to regenerate.

You'll end this farce right here, right now -- !

"Oh?"

You stop.

Stop moving.

Stop breathing.

Stop thinking.

You stop everything and anything, for you know that if you make the slightest move, you will die.

"You dare lay a hand on my Vessel?"

The infant sorcerer was gone, having been replaced with a being whose name and deeds were carved into the very fabric of reality, so much so that every curse -- whether intelligent or not -- knows their name.

A being of all encompassing evil, of overwhelming might.

A being that all curse spirits fear and worship in the same breath.

"How every brave of you."

He sits upon a throne of Death and Despair, staring down at you with eyes that reflect all the pain and horror your end will become.

"How very... foolish."

Pain beyond the body.

Horror beyond the mind.

Violation beyond the soul.

A thousand tortures and a thousand nightmares descend upon you and you can do nothing but scream and scream and scream.

But the being before you only laughs and laughs and laughs, breaking and repairing you over and over and over again, ensuring that the torment is just as fresh as it was in the beginning.

You beg for death. Attempt to take it in your own hands.

But the Cruel God before you always brings you back, their many hands ripping you from the afterlife just as you begin to taste sweet oblivion.

You feel Fear. You experience Horror. You drown in Despair.

And it is only when your mind, body, and soul are unable to give the being the reactions it wants -- that you are finally allowed to die.

Fighting Yuji is a nightmare in this universe, lol.

Not only is the kid crazy strong, crazy skilled, being taught by the two strongest beings in the entire verse, and has active 24/7 Wolverine regeneration on at all times (thanks SIkuna) --

But if by some miracle you manage to defeat him, you'll have to deal with a very pissed off, very overprotective King of Curses who will happily make the last few minutes/hours/days of your existence a torturous one.

I'd rather take on Gojo tbh.

The submission option worked well, just so you know for the future, but I noticed that you added/changed some things since then so I'll answer the 'revised' version haha :DDD

And- woAH woW WOWIE *insert that one Crash Bandicoot meme where he goes 'WOW'*

A beautiful fanfic for my fanfic (fanfic squared!!) holy macaroni I am HONOURED 🤗🤗🤗🥺🥺🥺

This is such a cool concept, and well, not too dissimilar from the truth heh - indeed, once Yuji and SIkuna get more in-sync with everything Yuji will be Quite the interesting opponent (i. e. not one you'd want to have against you even remotely lmao) to have for sure haha

I love the idea of the POV being an Outsider POV (how in-line with the Main Series proper haha) and the alien (not literally lol) nature of the POV character certainly adds an interesting perspective to how Yuji fighting with SIkuna's active help may turn out heh

And like, yeah, SIkuna's intensity with the revenge for the fight is very understandable and accurate, coming from him after Yuji got freaking mauled during the fight

- the first Special Grade got a taste of a similar thing for 'only' cutting Yuji's arm off heh, meanwhile here this almost-wanna-say-poor Curse not only hurt Yuji much worse, but it would have very likely killed the kid without SIkuna's interference, regardless of his amazingness

And that's, just a little bit Absolutely Unforgivable ::)

The way you described Yuji's fighting style (like his oddly high strength and speed without any CE usage) and SIkuna's intimidating-as-hell presence (Gotta Love Me Some Eldritch Horror) was very evocative, very Cool and Spooky indeed!!! :DDDDD

Honestly, yeah, I feel like basically anyone in the SG(LAT)-verse would rather take on Gojo, despite him being Gojo Freaking Satoru, rather than SIkuna in any way (and Yuji too tbh lmao)

- not getting into power levels and such, it's simply much much more likely to have a swifter death you know

SIkuna doesn't kill everything in this strong of a brutal manner sure, but he could - and that's just a bit too much of a risk ngl

(and just- The sheer dread and horror even his presence imposes on the world is Something Else Altogether, being in the other end of that whole thing also being actively malicious (or malevolent heh) towards you is just, not a Good Time 💀)

Anywayyy - thank you so much again AAAAA I cri (of joy) fr 🥺😭🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗

.

[overly-verbose]

If SIkuna will get the Heian era form later, can he change his appearance? I mean, it will be weird to see a guy with four arms hanging in public.

Assuming he were to do that,

(who knows, not me (I do lol) , if the hypothetical timeline where he and Yuji get separated is gonna be Canon to the Series *HeeHee HoHo's mysteriously*)

yup!

His alternate, 'human' form would be strongly based off of Yuji still, but with some differences.

(I've kinda drawn that as well, but I can definitely imagine it not exactly being clearly explained lol)

For one, he's significantly taller than Yuji (at least for now, the kid is most likely gonna grow to be not as much shorter lol) - although he can be shorter.

He usually isn't much 'shorter', because it's more comfortable - any much lower and it'd feel a bit like a too-tight shirt, but for your whole body lol

('down' to 6~ft/182~cm (wherein he usually stays at 6.4-5ft/193-195~cm) is the min. of proper comfiness)

He also wears earrings (I usually imagined some simple black ones, but he could just as well wear something Hello Kitty related lol (both for the Meme and just because) or just cute, or more colourful), and his left eyebrow has two slits - to kinda connect him visually to his Big Form heh

(I'm kinda contemplating adding some other things but yeah that's the bigger things heh)

And, although usually he only has these whilst in the Bigg form, he can have four arms, stomach mouth, and such whilst 'small' as well - but yeah, that's not exactly something that'd be useful/possible to use in public 😂

As shown in Chapter 2 of Visuals (although it is a different timeline, SIkuna is SIkuna lol), he can sometimes forget to close his secondary eyes, especially at the beginning of the Separation or when kinda mentally tired - it's just much more natural for them to be open

Some random person is more likely to assume they imagined it or he just had good cosplay than actual four eyes though, so hey at least there's that saving him

Not to mention interference from the kids he's likely hanging out with lol, Nobara is a quick-thinking Queen when her older familial figure is being a dum-dum and forgoring 💀 how to Human properly and we love her for it 👏

Since I imagine her dragging SIkuna out for clothes shopping relatively often, perhaps with other kids as well - and SIkuna doesn't mind it at all, he loves actively participating in the kids' hobbies 🥺 - she probably had to cover for his spookiness and such quite often lmao, even if he tries his best 😂

He is very respectful and polite to any workers they might encounter during their shopping though (well, assuming they aren't being unreasonably rude themselves but that's rare, especially in Japan I'd imagine), so fortunately even despite his Vibes being Very Off the two (or more) usually end up being a nice surprise to them actually lmao

- the fact that SIkuna likely takes everything that isn't chosen back perfectly into place whilst waiting for Nobara/other kids to put another outfit on probably makes their spookiness easier to deal with as well 😂😂😂

(He's not 'spared' from dressing up, but he can lighten the load on the workers' shoulders a little bit while he waits his turn, you know - he might be partially old as hell and from a time where that would have been unheard of to do for the sake of 'servants', but he also is partially someone from the 2020's lmao, he gets the pain)

(Imagine crossovers with Canon whilst he's in this form though lol, I feel like one Quite painful Misunderstanding that could happen is that This Other Sukuna apparently completely took over an older Yuji or something (since he clearly isn't there but Sukuna looks. like he looks.) OOF-)

.

[overly-verbose]

(Here's a crack/ship fic I wrote! Have fun reading XD ps. Please ignore the first one I saw a typo and wanted to add moreee)

Sukuna ate a burger and blamed it on Sukuna who another Sukuna believed was telling the truth, so he felt unsure around the other Sukuna’s presence.

So another time when the same thing happened again that Sukuna took no time at all to put it on the same Sukuna.

That Sukuna is sad, upset that the other Sukuna wouldn't believe him.

When there came a time where the Yuujis met, Sukuna wanted another Yuuji for himself, but Sukuna won't let him. Threatens to paint his guts to the walls and the ground red.

The Sukuna relented and pulled back, afraid. Then he left to sit on his own. Another Sukuna watches from the sideline, shaking his head from the scene.

Sukuna, realizes this then goes to talk to the Sukuna and starts to talk about how he doesn't hate him and even appreciates his company. He's different from other Sukunas, more innocent than others. He may be clumsy, but he's also trying his best and that's such a beautiful and heartwarming l thing.

Sukuna, surprised and even a bit touched, starts to blurt out what he thought the other Sukuna was great at and that he wanted to be like him. To be strong, to be able to protect his Yuuji as he does with his and when he's with him, he felt a blanket of safety around him even with his demonic aura.

The two said their pieces and sat there in a comfortable silence and after a moment the other Sukuna reached out his hand, a start to friendship.

The expression on the other Sukuna looks a bit torn and stricken with some kind of grief, but he continues to smile before grasping the waiting hand. Then there's a tug and he was pulled into a tight embrace. His eyes widened, unsure of what to do before he slowly started to wrap his hands around the other's back.

Then the other older Sukuna spoke.

“I hope we can be friends.”

Yea 👍

[overly-verbose]

It’s not much but it’s honest work, trying to draw on a 8 hour flight never results in good final work, but god does it make laying shit out at the beginning interesting. always for the shits and giggles.

Probably gonna do other mini pieces in between since this will probably take a while.

With that in mind, perish by my hand

(I eat dry wall with much enthusiasm when re-reading your fics. I am 50% dry wall, 50% malice, and 100% throwing hands)

*stares*

"Not much work" they say

Meanwhile, I say;

*nyooms around happily, going a bit insane at the amazingness of this*

SHAJWJJSJ THANK YOU??? That's- amazing???

Such a beautiful, beautiful and utterly hilarious piece of work, truly 👀👀👀👀🥺

The four first more serious-looking frames are- woah!! You drew SIkuna so cool!!! Jsjwjwjsj

(and you gave him, amongst other things, the slightly pointed ears!!! That fits so well in this artstyle!!! Yay!!! :DDD)

The rest is just- *chefs kiss* as well absolute PEAK of a shitpost (100% Appreciative use of the word)

(I mean the Whole is a beautiful high-effort shitpost but you know) lmfao,

SIkuna's expressions are Hilarious (the little dots of Red in im his eyes at the end lmao, my guy is PANIK-) and the way Yuji appeared in the Domain in thE FAMILY GUY DEATH POSE MADE ME CACKLE LMAO- 😂😂😂

I am already absolutely Amazed, and looking forward to both the mini pieces (although you're of course not obligated to do those at all (and neither are you to do the bigger one ofc, it's 100% up to your own want and I appreciate it greatly 🥺🥺🥺🤗🤗🤗) and the finished thing (*explodes from joy*)

I'd gladly perish by your hand for this ngl, and just overall thank you so much!!!!!! :DDDDDD

(also, I hope you don't mind, but I screenshot the frames and would like to include the screenshots so that everyone can see their beauty in full;

(this took way too many tries but they're worth it lmao- (forgive the imperfect cropping of them in places pls)))

[overly-verbose]

Have you read chapter 265 leaks?

.

.

.

.

SPOILERS

.

.

.

.

.

.

Sukuna and Yuuji are actually hanging out lol. Also, I think it's confirmed about Yuuji and Buddha connection. And OGkuna shows himself to be the biggest PoS in the world.

.

.

.

.

.

[MANGA SPOILERS!!!!!!!]

Yup, sure did!!

It's such an interesting choice, like genuinely (similar things may have been used but idk I've either never seen something very close to this exact execution or it doesn't exist yet)

I mean, to go from a long, painful fight to this sort of character-driven chapter, forcing Canon-kuna to interact with Canon Yuji in this way... It's kinda fascinating

The fact that the 'talk-no-jutsu' didn't work is both predictable - I mean, nothing we know of Canon-kuna would have implied he'd have been swayed by something like this - and yet still kinda refreshing you know

And yeah, Canon-kuna really went absolutely nuclear with that last response huh? It's very in-character, yet still quite the whiplash heh

(and Canon Yuji saying the Ultimatum made me go 'WOO YEAH!!! BEAT HIS ASS YUJI!!!!' lmao - good on him, that's my boi!!!)

And yeah, interesting connection for sure - I'm not Too well versed in that stuff but I've seen some theories/explanations of the symbolism around 🤔🤔🤔

Also, kinda unrelated but also obviously yes - the archery moment kinda inspired me to make SIkuna teach the kids some archery too, at some point (since he does, in fact, know it even if he hasn't consciously though of it)... You know, as a wholesome parallel 🥺

He just wants to hang out with the kiddos and this could also count as training!!

(gotta love the power of the fix-it lmao 😂😂😂)

[overly-verbose]

*Crawls out of shadows*

Uhhh, hi.

I really like your fic. I'm not much of a socializer and tend to lurk more than anything. But I really wanted to share something, which is rare for me but this warranted it 100%.

Your fic has been in my brain since I read it and while I was out in the wild I heard a song that screamed SIkuna so much to me, that it left my brain just reeling from all the THOUGTS and VISIONS the song slammed on me. The song just felt so much like it was from SIkuna's POV I was just stunned, I had heard the song before but hearing it after reading your fic just kinda rewired my brain with the happy chemicals.

And as if that wasn't enough, not so long after I heard another song that this time seemed to come from the POVs of both SIkuna and the outside POVs of the others facing the Eldritch filter.

Both songs were from Imagine Dragons: The first was Demons and the second was Believer.

I was just going about my day and suddenly got attacked by pure awesomeness out of nowhere and is greatly in part thanks to your fic. So, I just wanted to share the songs so they could perhaps brighten your day as much as your fic lights up mine.

*sees you crawling out of the shadows*

Hi! :DDD

First of all, thank you kindly for saying all those wonderfully nice things about the fic!! No matter how many times I may hear something similar, I am absolutely overjoyed, truly 🤗🤗🤗🥺

I'm so glad to hear you're enjoying the story!! :DDDD

The happy chemicals!!! Wooo yeah!!! :DDD

Second of all, woahh - you're absolutely right!!! It really, really fits!!! :DDD

By the holy macaroni, does it fit!!!

Poor SIkuna, he tries so hard to deny it but he really does have quite a bit of demons to grapple with under it all - and the last thing he'd want is for the kids to get hurt by them

(or rather, him; since the 'demons' in question are just part of him you know)

Aaaaa, this is so sadd 😭 (in a good way!! I've known the song for years but didn't even Think about it, thank you for bringing up the connection to me!! :DDD)

And Believer is also a very cool idea haha, poor everyone having to deal with SIkuna, huh? But someday, someday they'll realise that there's no need to be wary, or preparing for Something to go wrong! (At least not in terms of SIkuna haha :D)

Something I've also noticed fitting kinda nicely, in terms of SIkuna's self-sabotaging tendencies in terms of choosing to not show his affection and making himself look in a bad light on purpose sometimes (to protect everyone in terms of a possible-in-his-mind future in which he 'returns' to being just OGkuna and using that trust), is "Iodine" by Icon For Hire 🤔 (it's a very different Vibe though 😂)

Or, I've mentioned this before, but "Ruthlessness" from Epic: The Musical - in some ways lol, less about the rage itself but the likeliness to feel horribly wrathful and likely wanting revenge over someone *hurting the kids*, you know

(There's likely some more that fit as well but I can't recall them at the moment haha)

Thank you for the Ask haha, I definitely understand wanting to be a bit of a lurker (nothing wrong with it if you're not up for interaction haha), but I greatly appreciate you sharing your thoughts! :DDD

My day has certainly been brightnened!! :DDD

[overly-verbose]

ur sikuna is just so. grips him. we mean this in the best way possible but hes so babygirl /affectionate

ur writing is amazing as well!!!! the new part to the series is just. chefs kiss. amazing <3

(we're always shy about commenting on ao3 but please know we love ur series so fucking much) :D

Oh wow, that sure sounds nice haha - Cuteness Aggression Activate!! 😂

(The way people in-universe, Canon or even this one, would react to someone referring to Sukuna as 'babygirl' tho lmFAO-

They'd absolutely Bluescreen completely 😂😂😂)

And thank you so much for saying such wonderful things haha! It's truly wonderful to hear

I certainly understand and don't mind not wanting to comment on Ao3 - it's 100% anyone's choice, and I greatly appreciate such a lovely Ask regardless 🤗

🤗🤗🤗

[overly-verbose]

h

if i wrote an SI-Yuuji fic inspired by your SIkuna stuff, could I tag you in it/mention your fic in the 'inspired by' tab?

I'd be honoured!! :DDDDD

Meaning; yes, of course you could haha :DDD

And that certainly sounds intriguing!! :DDDD

I can only imagine the sheer Shenanigans that'd make overall, and, depending on whether SI!Yuji decides to eat the Finger/s (if there would even be a choice though),

the sheer Magnitude of Shenanigans especially pertaining to, I'm guessing, Canon Sukuna having to deal with a SI!Yuji is just- 😂😂😂

👍👍👍

[overly-verbose]

The fact that “those clawed hands wish not to hurt you” isn’t over 3k is a life saver.

Here’s your hint from the previous ask just in case I have stumped thee.

Key frames.

I will now lobotomize you <3

wAIT-

I DIDN'T GET A NOTIFICATION ABOUT THIS ASK-

WDYM KEY FRAMES I-

*perishes with a wheeze*

*gets resurrected*

BY THE HOLY MACARONI AND GUACAMOLI-

'Anon', I have indeed been verily lobotomised

👏👏👏👏

(but really, I am- uh- absolutely honoured???? Thank you in advance even more?????? Like, hOLY-

And I'm glad to hear that the 'short'ness of Part 2 is gonna help you out with the endeavour lmao, things have been kinda getting longer and longer huh- 😂

Again, thank you so much!!! :DDDD

I'm looking at it all verily 👀👀👀👀👀👀👀👀👀👀)

.

[overly-verbose]

This wretched site prevents me from remaining as a chaotic anon, however it is unfortunate that I will remove its bones (code) and make a stew for the accursed creatures within my mind.

You will not find me <3

🔫

I can certainly appreciate the sheer effort made to remain a chaotic anon despite the hellsite (/aff) not wanting you to be lmao, keep on that Anon grind and all that 😂😎👉👉

But also,

*makes incomprehensible sounds of joy as I shake the horrifying ghost that used to stare at me as I slept but I kept staring back so much and so intensely that it's now scared to sleep without a nightlight (I could appear in the dark) and we've become occasional roomies by the shoulders like we're in a cartoon (idfk where this entire segment came from but you get my excitement)*

What Is That??? Some sort of outline based on Part 2, with a bunch of pages and panels????? Or am I seeing wrong???? (Maybe it's one page with more versions?? Idk what the software is and how it works heh)

:OOOO :DDDDDDDD???

I recognise that signature watergun emoji (wdym it'd look the same no matter who sent it-), so I'm just gonna let you know that I've actually worked on something akin to a reference - decidedly not up to professional or even professional-adjacent standards but I tried lol - for SIkuna haha

(I myself am inconsistent as heck so I don't expect it to be followed perfectly + it's not all That different from Canon-kuna but just as a little maybe helpful thing 🤗)

due to your previous Ask(s)! :DDD

It's mostly done besides some detailing and written stuff so I should be able to add it to Visuals (with some little funni bonuses) fairly soon 🤗

(I haven't drawn anything with full colour in a While lol, but it's gonna be indeed coloured :D👍)

Thank you so much in advance for the arts!!! :DDDDDD

[overly-verbose]

SIkuna doing a mantra of "-DoNotHugTheChildDoNotHug-" is hilarious, thank you for that

Glad to hear that you found it as hilarious as I did lmao, it's such a funny contrast to how he may come off externally 😂

(He tries very, very hard to balance out being relatively pleasant with just bad enough for Yuji not to completely 'forget what he's dealing with' but mAN is it a tightrope walk above a freaking canyon kinda balancing act huh 😂

(ironically it'd be MUCH easier - and less stressful - for him to actually physically do that, maybe even in a handstand, rather than having to deal with the metaphorical version lmfao))

But, fun fact; although he's not gonna Hug The Child (that's for 'Sunshine Child'/Part 2 and after it 🤗), there is gonna be a bit of a compromise on that front at one point lol

- with an 'Oh I'm So Selfish Wah Wah' excuse ofc, but how effective it's gonna be you'll have to just wait and see until I Finally Finish The Freaking Part heh

*stares at the keyboard like it stole my carrot sticks or something*

Yuji's gonna be so confused lmfao, he just had to get the 'Morally Ambigous But Very Caring' Inner Demon edition rather than the 'Obviously Evil And Clearly Malicious' edition

and now has to wonder if he's having a malfunctioning People Reading sense or if this King of Curses guy is actually really not That bad (but trying to act like he is???) even if not 100% good 😂😂😂

.

[overly-verbose]

Me, thinking completely genuinely: "Part 9 is probably gonna be like 2-3k words 👍"

Me, staring at the thing already written down (it'll probably get edited sure, but who knows if edited down or up in terms of wordcount), decidedly unfinished at quite a bit more than that: "...Ain't no freaking way man, how the fu-"

I may be the worst guess-timator on the planet fr 😂😂😂😂

It's highly unlikely to be nearly as much of a behemoth as parts 7 and 8 (there's just not That many scenes/segments that have to happen I think) but decidedly not as short as I thought

Tbf both Yuji and SIkuna do be Talking lol - and I plan on ending the Part after Yuji wakes up and I establish that some things Changed, obviously, from Canon heh

Like the thing where Nobara, Megumi and Shoko are well aware that Yuji is not actually dead and how it influences their actions (+ some things that have changed in the background due to SIkuna's - so far - minimal meddling lol)

Besides Talking, overall SIkuna's just gonna internally be doing a 'do not hug the child do not hug the child do not hug the child do not hug the child he's incredibly huggable and too good for this world and would likely actually be happy about a hug because he's himself but you cANNOT hug the child-' mantra in his head the whole time lmfao

Meanwhile Yuji has to deal with the enigma that is the King of Curses being, in fact, a bit of a confusing tsundere lmfao

(I've mentioned it before somewhere but Yuji's gonna get out of the encounter supremely unsure about the whole 'Sukuna is pure evil' thing, just not yet completely convinced about it not being true heh

- like yeah, obviously he's not exactly a saint (far from it in fact) but there's just way too much not adding up

All that despite SIkuna's honest efforts to balance the Evil/kinda mean attitude with still not being completely unpleasant to be around because Yuji doesn't deserve that y'know {:( (😂))

.

[overly-verbose]

I take back my previous threats of violence as my foolish self had not scampered through your art book in all its glory.

Chapter 8 has the reference that is to be used in general, correct?

No worries, I actually chuckled a bit reading that lmao - I didn't expect a reference for SIkuna being in high enough demand for me to be threatened at watergun-point 😂

(the previous Ask with the 'threats of violence' in question for context purposes;

😂)

I'll probably try to draw something of an actual approximation of a 'reference sheet' with the little differences (I was actually planning to do that for the Ask but uh that'd take much longer than this), but to explain it quickly (well, for me quickly which isn't at all);

Chapter 8 of Visuals has actually moreso to do with a perhaps-hypothetical scenario in which later down the timeline SIkuna gets Somehow separated from Yuji and gains a body of his own

- and that allows him to switch between Normal Form

which is basically how he looked whilst possessing Yuji, except probably quite a bit taller (it's already a bit stifling in comparison to the Big Form so he wouldn't make himself even shorter just to keep to Yuji's height lol), a bit older

(he looks a bit older whilst possessing Yuji anyway but yeah),

with some (usually) black earrings and two slits in his left eyebrow to connect it to the Big Form visually

The version with the earrings and slitted eyebrow can f.e. be seen in Chapter 11 lol, just with pink hair for that last one

And Big Form/True Form

which is about 9~feet / 3~ meters tall (I based it off of that one short manga flashback moment rather than some other seemingly smaller depictions?), has four arms and such + mostly wears the outfit from Chapter 8/14 but would also wear different things just like he would in Normal Form

- and I follow the logic of the clothes Somehow changing to fit whenever he suddenly shrinks or grows rather than having to have specifics outfits, but the four-arms thing still kinda demands a different wardrobe anyway for most cases lol

(+ he does have the stomach mouth in the Big Form, and sometimes he'll prefer to leave it uncovered so another outfit difference then,

like maybe an open robe in place of a shirt, something cropped, or occasionally just forgoing a shirt altogether lol)

I think a better reference for the height comparison between him and other characters in that form is moreso Chapter 11 and 14, but it doesn't matter That much

But like, in terms of outfit it doesn't have to be exactly what I've drawn before lol

- he's more of a comfy/casual guy but I'm 1000% certain that Nobara + perhaps other kids would take him shopping sometimes (she or they can't let this particular Older Familial Figure go unfashionable constantly!) and he'd probably want to occasionally wear something more Wowowo so he'd likely have something other than a dozen sweatshirts (and robes and comfy pants and such) somewhere in his wardrobe too 😂

(some Hello Kitty™ merch is also a must, For The Meme!!!)

And I've mentioned it a few times before but, especially if separate from Yuji unless he'd also agree to painted nails which he just might, he's likely to have painted claws/nails sometimes lol - they're a nice big canvas for Nobara to practice her skills on y'know, and he definitely wouldn't mind

.

In terms of how he looks inside the Domain, it's mostly just Canon-kuna's look lol

The kimono/kosode(? I have yet to understand what the exact difference is but heard it may be the second) is the same, the scarf and blue(?) accents on the sides of the main robe and stuff

with the anime-only addition bow to the back of the sash/idk material belt because yes, and because it's something to fiddle with whenever SIkuna gets ungodly bored lmao (the equivalent of fiddling with a sweatshirt's zipper or hoodie string lol)

I've interpreted whatever Canon-kuna wears on his legs as some sort of simple black pants that run down until a bit after the socks beneath the sandals(?) start or something like that??

I don't think he wears anything under the upper part of the kimono(?) but maybe there is some sorta ancient Japanese equivalent of a t-shirt I dunno about lol, besides that it's the same with the wide sleeves and everything

The sandals(?) are the same as in Canon, I've seen somewhere that they could have a small false heel (like a cut underneath that doesn't actually raise the heel of the foot idk how to explain it better) but it's an utter detail lol

As aforementioned, the scarf-thing around his neck is the same too, it's definitely an addition SIkuna appreciates heh - it's comfy 👍

(the Inner/Innate Domain examples I've drawn in Chapters 1, 4, 5, most of 10, 1st bonus drawing in 11, a cropped out glimpse in 13 and second drawing of 14 is ok lol - I just forgot about some things earlier/got better at it with time maybe)

.

In terms of physical differences, in or outside the Domain, the biggest one is probably the eyes

His usual/regular look involves the pupil/most inner part of the eye being white, then having a ring of darker red, then much lighter/brighter red

Meanwhile, whenever he's feeling particularly murderous/spooky/overall more OG-kuna-like (f.e. in Part 4 after a bit of 'experimenting' on the Special Grade), the sequence becomes [very light/bright red, much darker red, a bit lighter/brighter red]

(I mostly draw the eyes in a more oval shape, but that's just my stylistic choice lol - I don't mind it being the same but don't mind otherwise ofc

Same with the colours, they don't have to be Exactly those)

Like this;

And the fact that he actually has a whole Four eyes be eyes and usually all open - the secondary eyes are smaller, but are full eyes with colour and stuff rather than the sometimes barely-there look they had with Canon-kuna

(I'm not yet 100% certain if the difference in colouring is seen in-universe, though 🤔 - but for drawings yeah)

Another thing that isn't usually consistent in the manga/anime (from what I can remember) is the way Canon-kuna sometimes has moreso claws Or fingernails - SIkuna basically always has claws (they sharp!)

I'm kinda contemplating including slightly pointed at the tips ears to the list but it's not an 'official' characteristic lol

.

I've... Uh. Gone off on a tangent?? As per usual lmfAO-

But hope you get at least a little useful info from this?? 😂

(I don't mind clarifying questions lmfao (though my apologies if I take some time to respond))

Also, I'm not that much of a stickler for detail just fyi - even if the interpretation were to differ in some way from this rambly excuse for a guide I'd still love and adore any and all art created for my story because hOLY MAC A R O N I- *implodes from pure joy*

(Assuming, of course, that that's what 'for scientific purposes' meant 😂)

So I might've actually gone ahead with setting up a discord server, it's pretty bare bones so far in terms of channels and roles, but it's a thing?

Oh wow, that's really cool of you! :DDDDD

I'm not sure how it works, does one need an invite code or link or something for it? :DDDD

(I've used Discord before but I haven't joined anything in a While lol)

Unfinished WIP no2.

I cropped the better parts since the rest was yet to be finished. This was supposed to be a short comic strip of @overly-verbose 's SIkuna on their 7th Fic.

Ohhh man, I'm so sad that it's most likely gonna stay unfinished but at the exact same time THAT'S ADORABLE??? BY THE HOLY MACARONI???

Holy heck, the doggo is so confused, fluffy, but happy??? The fluffball just straight-up goes from :|? to :] haha, so freaking cute!!!! 🤗🥰🥺🥰🥰

And SIkuna's so happy too, oh man oh man

- the poor guy has been so freaking touch-starved and just overall kinda understimulated, then suddenly (well, after the whole not-fight with the Special Grade but that's a different thing)

gets to *petpetpetpetpatpatpatpat* and hug a lil (big) fluffy doge (who is also in some ways an extension of Megumi so that's even more reason to show the fluffball affection besides just being a Very Good Doggo), no wonder he's absolutely overjoyed! 🥺🤗

(and with the context of what happens in Part 8, OOF MAN, good thing that he got to destress for at least a little bit before all that 😂😭-)

This may be an unfinished piece, but I absolutely love and appreciate it nonetheless!!!!!

Thank you so much for the beautiful fanart!!! :DDDDDD
