I’ve Been Saying This

nothing says "not a settler-colonial ethnostate" like the IDF having a semen retrieval team on standby 24/7 to milk the corpses of their dead soldiers to maintain birthrates

it's always "you gnawed off your own leg to escape like an animal caught in a trap" and never "why didn't anyone try to help you out of the trap" or "why weren't you provided with any other resources to escape the trap with except for your own teeth"

"Old friend" is a gayass thing to call someone

when i'm in a getting dehumanized competition and my opponent is gojo satoru

I love this parallel between Geto and Gojo in the manga.

First, we have Geto declaring his intention to restart the world, and Gojo retorts that it's impossible. Geto continues by saying that for Gojo, nothing would be impossible, as he claims.

I believe that at that point, with Gojo being Gojo at 18, he did not possess the mindset to join Suguru, so the question of joining him would never arise. It is only after a reality check, after the pain begins to fester within him, that he slowly realizes how messed up everything around him is.

Gojo starts coping, and his coping becomes a dream.

The onset of adulthood, which opens your eyes and strips away the pink-colored glasses, reveals to him what needs to be done. However, stubborn as Satoru is, always attempting to do things his way, he focuses on proving Suguru wrong and tries to make everyone strong so nobody needs to go through the same pain as he does. He made the trauma of losing his best friend the center of his life.

Which only makes everything worse.

Only after he takes Geto's life, does he fully comprehend peace requires sacrifice. That is when his transformation into a monster begins

Secondly, we have Yuta asking Gojo to not become the monster alone. However, Gojo refuses him, claiming he cannot stop. He basically admits that he was always meant to become one, he only kept pushing it back for all the years, while mad, trying to show Geto there's another way how to do it.

Finally, he gives in, making the impossible possible, just as Geto had proclaimed.

This scene saddens me because the roles are now reversed. Now it's Gojo walking away, doing the impossible, and pointless while becoming the monster.

Seeing Yuta be there when Gojo decides to step on Geto's path when telling Gojo to stop, to take them with him, yet Gojo still refuses, makes it even more depressive.

They were, after all, best friends, stubborn assholes.
