Multishipper/Getohime anon 🙂↕️
I came from a multishipping friendly community (never had an issue with monoshippers too) before JJK so it was a real culture shock. You’re very right about interacting with different ships with different names or it just makes things awkward. I don’t mind getting blocked, but some people could not stay in their own lane and were so hostile over nothing 😭 I deleted my Twitter but lesson learned that I needed to make a different account for each ship instead of having them on one 😭
Unfortunately a lot of my Getohime headcanons were on that said deleted Twitter 😭 so here’s a general yap.
My initial draw to them is how similar they are. Both February Aquarius, dark hair with bangs, designed with religious imagery (Buddhism and Shintoism), caring empathic people, typically soft spoken but not a pushover, etc. and if I said Gojo had a type….
But the difference between them is obviously Geto defecting and Utahime wouldn’t do something like that. But I also think because she’s a woman in jujutsu society, she doesn’t have as much agency as male sorcerers do. She can’t take risks, even something simple like a scar is a failure (momo’s speech), not taken as seriously or passed over for promotions. So headcanoning a little but I think this could make her feel trapped/stuck. She can’t leave but the higher ups keep her in one spot. And I think maybe if she came across Geto post-defection, she’d be more willing to try to reach out to him because he “made it out” of jujutsu society and she has conflicting feelings about that. But because she’s stubborn and Geto is set in his ways, they’re not going to “work out” in an endgame ship way but there is something delicious in two people who are so similar who can’t agree on anything. And it’s taboo because they’d have to sneak around behind Gojo and the higher up’s backs. I think you mentioned Utahime wouldn’t be afraid to shoot him down, and yes yes I agree 🙂↕️
Also Geto seeking more power and Utahime being a power booster. That’s tea
But because I have the multishipping gene, their added dynamic with Gojo is too good too. They have him in common and they’re both not afraid to stand up to him. And they have complicated relationships with him. So that’s something they both have in common for the Getohime ship but for the satosuguhime threesome, it’s an easy way to get them all together. Gojo and Geto both teasing Utahime. Gojo and Geto getting competitive over her/who can get with her first. Maybe Utahime wants to get back at Gojo for something so she fucks his best friend type thing. Gojo thinking it’s hot watching Geto and Utahime fuck.
I hope that all made sense, thanks for letting me yap! ❤️
Oh, you're just like me for real! Cheering and yelling!
I hear you regarding twt. I'm not active there anymore, but it sucks that it's still the main place where a lot of shippers hang out. The community for SatoShoko on Tumblr and Bluesky is very small. It's a little bigger for GojoHime, but almost non-existent for GetoHime 😭 I really want people to talk about these ships with, but I can't justify going back to the trillionaire's (blegh) hellsite for that reason alone!
I have to be honest, I've never bothered making separate accounts either. I just don't have the time or the will to juggle multiple social media accounts, especially when I'm primarily here to write. It isn't as much of a problem on Tumblr as far as I can tell, but elsewhere, I quickly learned that if I want to enjoy the art without inadvertently contributing to hostility between shippers and getting myself blocked by creators on both sides, I just have to support them very quietly.
On a much lighter note, your GetoHime thoughts were *such* a joy to read! I am literally always saying that Gojo has a type (we share a braincell) but I could have written the rest of it myself, too! After sending this, I'm going to share a little GetoHime WIP for you specifically, beloved anon, because the fic I'm writing touches on so many of the points you've raised here. A short snippet obviously can't cover everything, but I'm hoping to publish the rest of it for JJK Rarepair Fest in August. If you decide to read, I hope it'll feel like having the inside of your brain mirrored back at you!
Also, your SatoSuguHime thoughts? Yes please! I actually have two old SatoSuguHime WIPs lying around. One is an angsty post-defection exploration of Suguru and Utahime's similarities and differences from Gojo's POV. The other is literally just "hot people being hot together". Sometimes, I just wanna see two cocky bastards terrorising their cute senpai in more ways than one, you know? We contain multitudes!
For me, Gojo kind of inserts himself into the GetoHime dynamic, whether they want him there or not. That feels very fitting for his character, but also for their individual relationships with him and with strength and with jujutsu society. He's the overwhelmingly enormous elephant in the room, so it's hard for me to picture a GetoHime dynamic where he isn't present in some measure, even if it's not physically.
But honestly, if I could sum up the appeal of this ship?
Geto seeking more power and Utahime being a power booster. That’s tea.
Yeah, you get it. That's the GetoHime elevator pitch. Really glad to be able to yap with someone about these characters ♥ Please don't thank me and instead let me thank you for indulging me!
