goooood i really wanna write sukugo/reader but i just!!! do not!!! have the HOOK! i don't know where this starts!!

i don't want to do a non-sorcerer au - personally i find peak sukugo to be the two of them as sorcerers being their crazy super strong selves. and i want to insert reader into that dynamic to be powerful alongside them.

because that's what their appeal is, to me, you know? sukuna and gojo are a fun couple because they represent the two strongest sorcerers of their time, two deeply isolated individuals, who took their power in very different directions.

the story itself leans into it during their fight, into gojo empathizing with sukuna afterwards and wanting to "reach him", and sukuna complimenting him after his defeat.

i want to be there, standing between them. gojo is strong because he was born strong, he was born blessed and he was treated like it by everyone he met. sukuna was strong but he was treated like a curse, and he became one.

you could be someone who was born weak, and became strong. sukuna especially espouses the more fatalistic idea that people just are either strong or weak, and the weak should know their place. gojo embodies "pure talent" as someone who never had to work to be good at anything.

or you could be someone who was born strong like them, but never used it. maybe you became a painter or a writer. you thought of strength as useless, because what good was a curse technique in winning the heart of a loved one? or sparking your creative passion?

the story never explores if gojo really found it fulfilling to be a sorcerer or if that's just all he ever knew. sukuna generally enjoys fighting and being a dick, but there's a moment when he becomes pretty unsettled by the realization of how painfully empty that makes his life - he eats, sleeps, kills. he has no greater purpose.

strength is such a big theme in jjk and i wish it were explored more with sukuna and gojo but sjkdfhglsfhdg i can't blame gege for doing more shit,,, i WANT to do it but i don't know how to go about it either!!! i have no plot or setting or scenario sdhfgkldhg it's so tough

anyways sorry if you were hoping from writing from me skjdfghfg i'm gonna be a bit i think. BUT! i promise i am actually working, i got a little done today,,,, and i have a few impassioned asks about which series to pick up, as well hehehe >.>

im going to mourn this loss with my whole life 😞

i'm not dead XD but i get where you're coming from.

just not sure how much jjk fic i'll be writing. these old dusty drafts aren't as enticing as they used to be, but my imagination is still running~

Hiii, I don't usually comment on stories, but seriously, when I find people who write so articulately and delightfully, I find myself reading everything they've written, even if it's not exactly my genre, English isn't my first language but the way your writing speaks to me is incredible, plus you've made me want to write again after months of nothing🙏, take your time, I hope your pillow is cold on both sides and that your life is going well💜 (I wrote this with a translator hoping it's fine)

Bye <3

thank you so much!!! you're so sweet! with a lot of things i write, i do have a super clear vision for what i'm trying to get across, and i try to get it across the way i imagine it... although that often leaves me blocked with a LOT of my ideas, where i have a concept but no good words to describe it.

whatever you're using to translate is definitely working, although usually when people read english fics and go "English isn't my first language" they're like. better spoken (in english!) than most native english speakers i know XD

anyways, it's really sweet to know that reading my stuff gets your writing hackles raised - and god do i feel you about months of nothing... we're in good company bestie <3 but we'll get there!

i hope u r doing well

i am thriving actually!! i figured i'd answer the asks along these lines all at once so sorry for the people getting so many notifs about it skjhfksg

[specialgradefckr]

Are u alive

yup, absolutely!

hiiii!!! new follower here, do u have a specific posting schedule or just whenever? if u answered this already sorry lol

you're fine, no worries!

honestly i,,, i try my hardest skdhlghdgf my schedule's been thrown off for a while between work, various life tasks that keep getting in the way, etc.

in theory my schedule was to post wed/sat, or at least once during the weekend (usually fri/sat), and answer asks throughout the week/as i'm able.

i do love being able to post twice a week - most recently before this last work i went nearly two weeks without posting, which was a huge bummer. generally (and i've done this before) i do also try to pre-write little ficlets and have them ready to go in case i'm working on something for longer.

once a week - primarily around the weekends - is my goal more or less! we'll see how successful i am with it though sjfkgslhg
