Fyodor Dostoyevsky, The Gentle Spirit

Uhm, as far as I know, Uraume isn’t a child.

I keep seeing these weird posts on X about Sukuna and Uraume being parent and child. Why do people tend to sexualise everything? If it wasn’t at risk of becoming sexualised, it wouldn’t have become “father and child”, imho. It’s just bizarre.

Can’t love be love? Like, just pure innocent love?

Does it have to be attached to any set role? Master-servant; friend-friend; husband-wife; etc.

People can be so obsessed with sex, gender, age... when these characters cross over from being human to whatever Tengen was (more like a curse) - they don’t necessarily have any of those features any more. Age becomes a concept.

What really matters is what they were to each other and what they ended up realising they wanted.

Sukuna recognised his emotions and turned away from Mahito. He rejected the hate and fear that Mahito represented. He turned towards hope. With Uraume. Uraume was a symbol of, “I’m ready to open up to being attached to something/someone other than just a pure hedonistic sense of existence”.

I sometimes sense that so much relates to unresolved daddy / inadequate parental figure / attachment issues.

Do we as a fandom need some psychoanalysis?

(this isnt to shit on Miura. his work has endlessly inspired and meant a lot to me, but that doesn't mean that it is exempt from constructive criticism)

i love Casca but damn it if she isn't the most misused character ever. I can understand what happened to her in the Eclipse from a narrative standpoint (Miura really didn't need to draw that scene in titillating angles though. It was fucking disgusting already). I can understand Casca loosing her memories. And as much as I despise it I can even understand her going into a zombie child-like state.

But what I can't understand is her being in this state…for what is essentially almost the entirety of the main story (20+ real life years) and GET 0 CHARACTER DEVELOPEMENT IN BETWEEN.

Don't get me wrong, arguably the best scene in the story is when she finally "wakes up" in Elfhelm. But they couldn't even give her a single thought, a short internal dialogue of the conscious part of her brain in between all this time? Nothing for who is essentially the tritagonist and supposedly the main heroine of this story, to who is at her core a really interesting and beautiful character with tons of wasted potential?

THANK YOU I always wanted to call this out but you said it better than I would’ve. It’s so disgusting how being a literal pedophile is so normalized here. Sadly Megumi and Maki fell victims to this the most and barely anyone talks about it. And dont get me started on the “it’s a drawing”, “aged up”, or the “the age of consent in japan in different” like SHUT UP. It’s so disgusting.

One thing I will never understand about the Jujutsu Kaisen (and others) community is how many people have 18+ on their profiles, then proceed to make nsfw content about the minor characters who are under 18 specifically on their accounts.

And the “they arent real” excuse don’t work w me, cause at the end of the day, they are fantasizing about a child being in those type of situations.

Like - Yuuji, Nobara, Megumi, etc etc they act like children and they clearly emphasizes that in JJK w Nanami’s first appearance in the anime, where he told Yuuji it’s okay to be a child. And they all have the same mentally of a child of their age.

Literally people who sexualizes them makes it so difficult and normalized for people of the same age to talk about themselves in that light. And I will admit, I’ve been one of them after seeing adults talk about child characters as such like that in such a light for so many years.

Also the sexualization of Maki is WAY too normalized.

Why the fuck are you sexualizing the minors too, when Gege gave us fine ass adult men and women??? Shiu, Takuma, Shoko, Yuki, Utahime, Mei Mei (ew.), Nanami, Toji, Satoru, Suguru, Choso, Sukuna, Uraume, etc etc. GO FOR THEM. I honestly want them all on me.

I confuse people. i have a happy personality and a sad soul. i'm bold but shy. i love deeply but sometimes i feel heartless. i'm healing and hurting at the same time. i'm dedicated to growth, but i self sabotage

i feel like some ppl aren’t gonna like when we get more of asa’s savior complex moments, i see ppl now say ‘i want her to have a goal that doesn’t involve denji’. don’t twist my words, i want that too but as of rn her behavior makes sense and tbh, this whole savior complex is self fulfillment in a way. asa had no one from the beginning and gets thrust into this world of devils bc of yoru, we see their dynamic is rocky but at times she does confide in yoru. she does not have yuko anymore, and when asa was at her lowest, she lost her will to live until denji showed up in the falling arc. we literally see her basically say ‘if a piece of crap like him gets to live so should i’.

anyways, she's not even attracted to denji because of this savior complex neither. she liked chainsawman and denji before fami planted the idea that he needed to be saved by her. so i don’t like ppl saying ‘oh she has this idealized version of denji in her head’ bc of this panel. when really this panel doesn’t support that opinion. if anything this panel show how she sees herself, and lets be fr as of rn she has seen denji’s worst moments.
