In WWII, In 6 Years, 67 Journalists Were Killed

Baby Megumi whose mom died at a young age, whose father abandoned him and sold him to the Zenins, whose step-mother ran away with the money they got from the Zenin clan. I wholeheartedly believe that kid would have grown up with serious abandonment issues. That little boy who only wanted the best for his step-sister because in the end she didn’t abandon him like the rest of his family so that’s why he has to protect her, her kindness, he has to become a jujutsu sorcerer so he can be strong enough to save her. That kid meeting another kid who is kind, compassionate, silly enough to eat a curse object, but he loves that kid now and that means he needs to save him too. This boy who only wants to save his sister and this new kid he befriended but ends up harming them both, killing his elder sister with his own technique and unable to do anything as the curse residing in his body harms the pink-hair boy he loved and wanted to save while his soul sinks deeper and deeper. So…he gives up…he gives up fighting because who else is left, there is no one, no body that wants him around anymore.

That little kid hearing the words “it’ll be lonely without you around”….i can only imagine the feeling of being wanted, being needed that would have rushed into him after hearing that. The feeling of ‘I am not alone’, ‘there is someone that wants me for me’ coming from that one boy that he needed from the most.

About this and this: I like mocking George R R Martin's "realism" as much as the next ecology nerd/feminist who isn't thrilled about rape in fiction being written in maybe-tittilating ways/whatever, but, specifically in the context of writing about wars that are morally ambiguous and do not have straightforward good vs evil sides, yeah, that's more realistic than orcs.

Yes, there are individual people who are pretty spectacularly awful, and movements etc that are overall pretty awful, but there are not entire societies or movements or alliances or any large groups of people that are just evil and morally OK to kill down to the last person. Not how things work.

ugh why must I be always so repulsed by my own vulnerability but I find it very moving and impressive if other people are vulnerable with me????

so these are our only two options? we’re cooked
