So You're Telling Me That Sukuna Found Love Worthless And Rejected It Because He Didn't Need Anyone Else

So you're telling me that Sukuna found love worthless and rejected it because he didn't need anyone else to satisfy him.

My take from that is satisfaction=love.

And Gojo has said to Suguru that the only one who could satisfy him was him.

But they are not in love.

Yeah okay 👍🏻

Thank you Gege 🙇🏻‍♀️

I need a gay show that hits the same as the queer-baiting ones.

Recs are welcome 🙏🏻

Can we talk about Shoko please?

She went to school alongside not one but two special grade sorcerers, so it is almost expected that she will be overlooked, at least academically.

And she is. They are all sent on missions together, and she is their last line of defense, but against death. So she is basically a doctor, not a fighter like the others. That is backed up by her ability to use reversed cursed technique on others, which neither Satoru nor Suguru could do, even on themselves. Yet, she is not even close to being appreciated enough by her team or her teachers.

Gojo and Geto were also way closer to each other due to the baggage that comes with their power than with Shoko. So she is overlooked friendship wise as well.

She is not excluded by any means, but she does not have access to the emotional support Satosugu provide to each other. Which one could argue is a good thing for her.

And then Gojo unlocks his potential. So, the entire power dynamic shifts. Him and Geto aren't on the same level anymore, which leads to Shoko being ranked even lower. And then Suguru deconstructs the concept of power. So he needs to be stopped, and Gojo loses his closest friend. But Shoko is also there, losing her friend. And then Suguru is killed. Even though Satoru was the one who did it, Shoko was the one furthest away from both her friends at that moment.

And since Gojo deals with it all on his own, enemy's manage to get him sealed. But the thing is, he doesn't have to. Shoko is still there. She can,inadequately, fill Suguru's place to avoid further distraction. But Gojo does not let her.

And then Gojo dies. So, she is now physically alone the same way she has been emotional forever now. But she is actually alone.

Am I the only one who is happy Zutara did not happen?

Like I get where it's coming from. Katara is a complex female lead, and Zuko is also a complex character with the greatest redemption ark.

But these are exactly what makes me not understand it.

Zuko was a prince born to the fire nation, who had waged war on the rest of the world and literally wiped out an entire people. He was fully ready to continue that war, but he was banished. Even in exile, he continued to follow the fire nation's beliefs and chasing the avatar, the only person who could stop them.

Now I don't expect him to wake up one day and turn his world view around for no reason, and I understand that he is a teen. But he was not alone in that journey. He had uncle Iroh, who tried guiding him through that time to help him grow.

And eventually, he did. He managed to see behind the propaganda that he was fed as a child. He managed to see the pain his country had inflicted on people. He managed to understand he was wrong. So, he got his amazing redemption.

But none of these things can undo the damage he had caused. And that becomes crystal clear in the scene in which he meets Suki in prison. She reminds he that she knows him cause he burned down her village. And he is just awkward because he knows he can't deny it, he can't fix it, he can't do anything to make it better. Even breaking her out of prison would not be an equivalent exchange.

Another person that the actions of the fire nation greatly impacted is Katara. She lost her mother to the war. She saw her mother give herself up, and she knew she did it to protect her. She grew up without a parent and without a bending master because of the fire nation. Yes, he did help her "avenge" her mother. But that was the least he could do after his people took her and countless others away.

Also, keep in mind that Katara offered to try to heal Zuko's scar with the water from the oasis, which later literally revived Aang, in Ba Sing Se. And right after, he betrayed them to follow Azula.

So apart from hunting them the entire show, he also betrayed them and was the only reason they lost that fight, because Katara was cooking Azula, and as long as she had won, Aang would have been alright.

Also, yes, I understand that people can change, but the fact that he is the decendant of three generations of war criminals and was clearly planning to do the same is not helping his case.

All the said, I do not expect the complex female lead to fall head over heels and trauma bond with the first hot enemy that appears on screen.

Just finished watching Yuri on ice, and I am sure someone has already addressed this, but I wanna talk about it.

So, the music that Victor chooses to choreograph for Yurio and Yuri is "On love:Agape" and "On love:Eros" respectively.

Both Agape and Eros are greek words, and as a Greek, I feel as though the definition we are given does not do them justice.

AGAPE

We are told that agape is "unconditional love", but in Greek, agape literally means love.

The meaning the greeks give to agape is "A feeling of liking affection or friendship as well as its expression in words or actions"

Its etymology is even more interesting. The majority of researchers agree that it has two parts: 1st, the adverb "ἄγαν" which means "a lot of" 2nd, the theme "-πω" which means "protect/conserve" So etymologically agape is the overwhelming need to protect something that one sincerely cares about.

Combining the two can put the entire meaning of agape into words, but I think that authentic agape can not be verbalized.

EROS

When Victor explains the musical choices he made, he says that eros is "sexual attraction". But I find it a little bit shallow.

The greeks say that eros is "A carnal attraction of one person to another along with intense desire or love and excessive devotion"

Etymology-wise, eros is derived from the ancient Greek verb "ἔραμαι/ἐράω-ἐρῶ" which in modern Greek means "λαχταρώ/ποθώ". Both the verbs translate to "crave" the latter being more intense.

Eros was also the name of the God of love and sex, son of Aphrodite , godess of beauty. Consequently, making Eros something devine and flawlessly beautiful.

Putting all this information together, eros goes far deeper than just sexual attraction and is a gift from the Gods of Olympus.

Sincerely, a Greek who felt a tad bit underrepresented
