Time Travel Fix It au where Yuuji goes back to like 2003 or whenever tf hidden inventory was. He unknowingly picks up some animal companions that turns out to be people from the original time line.
So now there's just like this over powered homeless kid beating up special grade curses and being followed around by a bunch of overprotective magic animals.
Jujutsu society is in shambles trying to find this kid who legally doesn't even exist. Idk maybe animal Gojo is doing some weird voodoo to hide him from human Gojo's six eyes.
Yuuji is completely oblivious to the fact that his animals are magical. He just thinks he's hallucinating or some bullshit.
Nobara - Fox with one eye and a pink bow
Megumi - Medium sized husky who is unusually quiet
Gojo - Big white cat who wears sunglasses
Todo - Giant 3 legged dog, like a tibetan mastiff but nicer?
Choso - Raccoon who is extremely trigger happy, would fight anything
Nanami - big bird of prey (im too lazy to find a good species rn)
Panda - panda but smol
Toge - albino rat who definitely might be the rat king
Maki - Honey Badge, no clue how it got to japan she's there now tho
Yuta - Bat that enjoys hiding in Yuuji's coat during the day
Maybe there are more, idk i haven't fucking slept in 2 days
Yuuji is at a point in his life where he will hit someone with a black-flash to get a half eaten slice of pizza. He's basically given up on the idea of rejoining society and is now just trying to stop everything from going to shit.
Yuuji sleeps in a dumpster but dw he's chill with it. To him literally nothing can be worse then being Sukuna's vessel so he's happy. Also all these animals keep showing up and keep him warm so it's pretty good.
idk man he's just living his (almost)best life trying to track down Kenjaku while sleeping in dumpsters. Jujutsu higher ups are in shambles trying to find out who tf keeps exorcizing high grade spirits.
bong joon ho really said "here's a story about how capitalism is designed to exploit the weak however it can. we must break the machine. those at the top cannot be reasoned with and have to be stopped by force. i know you feel expendable. they don't care about you and will beat you into submission at a moment's notice. you're not expendable. our only way out is through compassion. im killing donald trump with a bomb. im showing you that someone will always love you. oh and here's robert pattinson having sex with himself as a treat."
So I have this fun theory idea concept idk but fun idea nonetheless that is that Simon got the name Butcher because his job was that he harvested bodies for the Last Tree. Meaning that he killed and gutted people for resources. Hair for clothes, skin for leather, bones for carving or other things you’d need a strong natural material like that for. Stuff like that. I didn’t really have any real canon basis towards this idea besides the fact that I liked it and Butcher as a label is just REALLY specific.
However.
In making a little ref sheet for young Simon (cause the two shots you get of him in the movie are terrible quality lmao) and I looked up hunting knives and found this deer skinning knife
That’s a little too similar to the knife holster Simon’s mom gave him.
Using my tunnel vision to pretend Literal Butcher Simon is real
me, looking at yoshino junpei, the magical equivalent to a school shooter: if you had just let yuuji kiss you on the lips once this wouldn't have had to happen 🥺🥺🥺
parallels & foreshadowings of yuuji and junpei's mothers, specifically, observing them. and also the issues in dynamic that they have -> junpei's mother being involved personally in his life in a way that he dislikes and yuuji's mother being involved from a distance watching yuuji come to fruition as a project he's had for a long time
I try not to fall into the "I never liked their work anyway" ditch when an artist/creator reveals themself to be a terrible person
BUT
a feeling I do have and will stand by is "While I enjoyed their work overall I did have some gripes that I overlooked out of affection and whimsy, but now that my loyalty is gone and my affection tainted there is nothing holding me back from enumerating my many grievances, to which the revelations of the creator's shittiness may or may not provide a new and infuriating context."
