Getohime - Blog Posts
I am FINALLY DONE with In every dream home a heartache! It is over and I am free!!!!!
Here is the last chapter, the how-to manual for life.
Here is the song it's named after. I heard in an art class and giggled over it but it clearly stuck with me. The premise of the song inspired Hard Candy and Sour Hearts (a SatoSho).
The meme isn't mine and if you know who to credit I will gladly link them because this is the best JJK meme to ever exist.
SatoShoko + GetoHime art + GetoHime ficlet by two talented creatives - I feel like I am finally being seen!!!!
Your art style is so visually pleasing 🤩‼️‼️ I'd really love to see satoshoko and getohime on a double date with your art style, I think that'd be really cute. 💖
You're antioedipus in AO3, right? Would love to see a yakuza Geto in your fic. Maybe not now, but someday. 🫶
Oui, c’est moi. I don’t know if I have a sophisticated enough understanding of organized crime, let alone the Yakuza to pull this off. Never say never, but I’m sharing this in case someone out there is looking for a GetoHime prompt, or is thinking about writing Yakuza Geto and needs to see that people are interested. This is your sign!
I’m also going to shout out Chloé Jafé’s I give you my life, a photograph exhibit featuring Yakuza and particularly Yakuza wives. It actually inspired a GetoHime story of mine by the same name! The article I read included a quote from one of the wives, saying that she got a tattoo on her neck because “I’m ready to put my life in his hands and keep loving him.” The i-D magazine article featuring it seems to have disappeared from the internet, but you can find Chloé Jafé’s official website here and a quick write up here.
hi, idk if you dig this ship (geto and utahime) but if you do, I'm hoping that you might draw them, romantically maybe haha. I hope that's not asking for too much, There's so little fanworks about them 😞
Just for you! I like how Antioedipus writes them so I went for something more agressive hehe
Kamo Noritoshi looks like the lovechild of Getohime. I can't explain it properly, but it has been on my mind for quite a while.
The ages don't line up but Kamo certainly has the potential for crazy that both Geto and Utahime have.
If I recall correctly, he's very concerned about being a good son and loves his mom. I could see a GetoHime kid carrying that similar burden, even though Geto and Utahime aren't members of some weird clan. I feel like if GetoHime babysat him as young adults people would give them the side eye I'd sometimes get when I was a teenager with my younger cousins.
I included the gifs for evidence but alas, they aren't perfect and the only one we have of Kid Kamo is him CRYING. But yeah, GetoHime would for sure get some weird looks from busy bodies making snap judgements.
I've been putting off reading getohime fics for so long because I thought there wouldn't be too many, and boy was I proven right, but I came upon your fics on ao3 and was immediately hooked. I haven't read all of them yet, but the ones that I adore the most are your kidfics/ implied preggo fic esp with little Tomie in them. I just finished reading If We Make it Through December and author-chan, Why'd you have to make it hurt so much? 😭 As someone who's not accustomed to an angsty fic without a happy ending, it literally crushed my heart that Geto turned out the way he is in that fic, and his own kid wouldn't even be an exception to his demented vision of the world. But then I read Terrible, No Good, Awful, and even though it's a satosho fic with a side of getohime, I still adore the getohime crumbs here and there and ohhhhh!!! little Tomie is adorable (along with the satosho kiddos). I want to see more of her interactions with Geto in an Au similar to that fic where he's present and all is well... huhu, needless to say, I hope you consider making more getohime kidfic with more Geto and Tomie moments. I'd like to read how their relationship would turn out, given you made Tomie's mannerism similar to Geto's.
and oh, a question if you don't mind. In an AU where getohime is together and all is well, do you plan to give Tomie siblings or is it just gonna be her, their only child. #babieseverafter
When I pictured my life as a child I definitely did not think I'd be writing so many fics for such a specific rare pair but nonetheless, here I am.
Tomie is actually my favorite kid OC that I've written. Her name is from Junji Ito's Tomie, a manga about a girl who is so beautiful, that men become obsessed with owning her and kill her in a jealous rage, only for her to continually come back as a curse (her body regenerates). To me, Tomie is a great namesake because she embodies female rage (Utahime) and has a villainous resistance to a world more sinister than any person (Geto). And yeah, if Geto's own mother isn't an exception to the rule, than his child definitely wouldn't be either. I also think that Junji Ito is a major influence on Gege and the world of JJK, where there is the larger, mysterious and incurable problem of cursed energy that is the ooze from which Sukuna and Kenjaku spring (and is arguably the bigger villain). I know Ito also let Gege use an image from Uzumaki for Geto's Maximum Uzumaki. The only way I can get through this series is telling myself that JJK is Junji Ito shounen magic cage fights lol.
LOL Tomie has such a different dynamic with GetoHime than SatoShoko's kids have with their parents. I feel like Gojo and Shoko are actually very functional co-parents and their kids can rely on them for everything. I think Tomie is more independent. I think she takes her problems to Geto over Utahime because she wants to protect her mom and knows how ridiculous Utahime can be. I've been flirting with more kidfic in the Terrible, No Good, Awful-universe because it has the best set up for it, but I won't make promises, since I've got other stories for other fandoms to write.
Tomie is an only child. Pregnancy is one of the most metal things that the human body can do, and is so rough that I don't think my girl Utahime could do it twice.
Thanks for reading and apologies for the long rant! Clearly, I have a vision lol.
I just finished reading “Fathers and Mothers and Daughters and Sons” in one sitting & it was amazing, it was beautiful, funny, heartbreaking—I’m at a loss of words, I loved that fic so much in-spite of the bittersweetness it invoked—10/10, chef’s kiss!
Thank you for reading that story and for writing such a thoughtful comment! That is the story that put me on this twisted path, and how a lot of readers found my work. Even though there are things I would change, I really can't hate the story itself. GetoHime is, to me, a fundamentally hilarious ship about two people who are a little nuts, but Geto is very good at hiding it and Utahime can't contain herself (however, her brand of crazy is just the every day, capitalist-patriarchy-induced kind). It means a lot to know that people are still reading that story, so once again, thank you!
I need to write them arguing in an Ikea together, lol.
My GetoHime Trash
When I die and go to heaven, no doubt an angel will ask why I put so much GetoHime content onto the internet. I shall have no good response, other then things just played out this way. My head, heart, and gut all say ShokoHime, but GetoHime is too conceptually entertaining for me to ignore.
Below is a master list of my GetoHime stories. They are all on ao3. Please note the rating at the end of the description. All adult situations depicted are between consenting adults. There is also drug use, mental health issues, and violence in a few of the stories. Please mind the tags of each story - I go out of my way to ensure that readers know what they are getting into. It is all NSFW, lol.
