transmasc aroace sukuna

Transmasc aroace Sukuna who doesn't need to be taught about love.

He knows what love is; it just doesn't serve him to to him, "Love is meaningless."

also I think that this can be doubled down with my headcanon that before he was a curse; he literally wasn't loved by anyone.

born in a world that wasn't ready to accept him and wouldn't love him anyways because he killed his mother with his birth

Transmasc Sukuna who gave himself the perfect body which coincidentally is the pinnacle of Jujutsu sorcery, he doesn't have to think about himself from before he was turned into a curse because now he's The Strongest Sorcerer (in History)

Transmasc Sukuna who decorates his body with thick black tattoos that many people find scary and taboo but he sees it as more of a 'fuck you' to tradition*

*(the people who killed him/the higher ups/the conservative fossils who couldn't find it in their hearts to even TRY to love him even if it would still be meaningless to him)

Transmasc aroace Sukuna who has kept one person with him throughout all the thousand years he's been a cursed object: Uraume

I believe since it hasn't, and it's not going to be explained in the manga/anime:

Uraume is his non-binary, aroace follower.

He keeps them around for a few reasons

1. Cooking: his favorite hobby is eating. It's good to have a personal chef on your side.

2. To do the tedious menial tasks that come with causing chaos everywhere. Not sure what they are specifically but I know they're there.

3. Uraume helps keep pests at bay. Telling them to fuck off and out of Sukuna's personal space when he feels the itch to get rid of an annoying eyesore.

4. Back-up fighter: self-explanatory

Let me cook (get me outta the Malevolent kitchen please)

aroace sukuna aroace sukuna aroace sukuna aroace sukuna aroace sukuna aroace sukuna aroace sukuna aroace sukuna Guys this is the culmination of a bunch of headcanons running amuck in my brain and also the character analysis' from @thepersonperson

So now, here are my hc's for AroAce!Sukuna:

Legitimately prefers to not be touched and appreciates respect for personal space (round of applause for Uraume*)

Hobbies,:

1. Fighting - self explanatory: he hates being bored, he also uses fighting as a way to bond and learn about others

2. Eating - confirmed in the official fanbook(iirc): it doesn't matter if it's people or Oreos, he enjoys food

3. Analysing literature/opponents fighting habits - It's explained better and in more detail by @thepersonperson, but the main take-away is that Sukuna is like a shark; using exploratory 'bites' in order to gain knowledge about things- his opponents. He uses used dismantle to take apart, to dissect his opponents, to learn how they'll react and if they can match his freak, so to speak.

3.5. Going back to the literature point - seeing as in history, the Heian era is considered the peak of the Japanese imperial court, it's noted for it's refinement in art, poetry and literature.

He gets annoyed, disgusted, bored, and all of the above when someone hits on him, seeks him out romantically or tries to use/touch him physically.

See: Yorozu when she's withing a 1 mile radius of Sukuna, Mahito after touching his soul, Kenjaku's weird obsession with him that led to him jumping his twins bones for some reason

Again, as dutifully (<3) explained by the aforementioned Tumblr User, Sukuna expressed affection through violence. This is the only way he is able to connect with anyone he seems worth his time to fight.

Being a curse that is legitimately perfect when it comes to CE and CTs, he reaches out from the top to grasp some sort of worthy interaction:

an entire half year of prep to fight Gojo,

'playing' with Jogo and making an effort to fight with him on his terms,

finding interest and potential in Megumi,

a yap fest of unwarranted appraisal to Maki

and he was basically all grins and smiles when he fought each of these sorcerers.

*Star next to Uraume because I hc that they're Ace-spec as well.

Cuz who else is better at telling people you don't want to be bothered, touched or talked to other than you fanatic worshipper who understands your boundaries clear and concisely?

Tirade over, I'm going to sleep.

JJK 218: I have mixed feelings

My impression from the last chapter stands: I like Yorozu a hell of a lot. She's strong and she's batshit crazy, and the backstory from this chapter establishes her as one of the strongest incarnated sorcerers. Among all the new characters introduced in the Culling Games, I'd say she and Higuruma are my favorites.

Plus, her technique, especially her armor, is pretty cool. The bug aspect is interesting, and the design of the armor is also damn nice. I like how bulky and sturdy it is, and seeing her physically throw Sukuna around was fucking amazing.

It's her, uh, motivation I have trouble getting into. On the one hand, her complete yandereness is fun. I know marriage became the focus later, but she started with the claim that she wanted to be the one to kill Sukuna and wanted him to be the one to kill her, and I like that sort of dynamic. And in this chapter as well, how much of her "love" is tied up in violence appeals to me.

B u t the target of said affection being Sukuna kind of ruins it. Not because I don't understand her rationale (I do appreciate that this chapter showed she fixated on him because they're both peerless in strength and she, at least, is lonely because of it) but because Sukuna doesn't really have the kind of reactions that make this one-sided attraction entertaining. Look at this:

I was cringing all through those last few panels. Just...no. Nope. No thank you.

It's similar to why Hana's thing for Megumi held no appeal for me, even if Gege did make a cursory attempt at showing it's a childhood fixation that escalated further. Women being this gone over men who don't give a fuck or are mocking them is a dynamic that actively puts me off. It wasn't fun when it was Sakura x Sasuke, and it ain't fun now.

Yorozu, seriously, you can do better.
