I Think I Might Actually Make An Hour Long Video Defending And Analyzing Odysseus - Tumblr Posts

reposting my found fams rant about a fandom being shitty/completely misunderstanding the characters (Me with the Epic: The Musical Fandom)

Okay hi um I'm sane enough to do my rant because holy shit this FANDOM /neu

WARNING there will be a LOT of spoilers for Jujutsu Kaisen under the cut. ESPECIALLY the new release and chapters past 200 and manga only (not anime released) content

I feel like a lot of people in this fandom forget how young the protags are. Yuji and Megumi are around 15 years old. Why is this relevant? I'll get to that.

For once I was early to a chapter leaks release. Chapter 265. I was waiting for each translation and since they took minutes at a time, I found myself scrolling through the comments.

The amount of people that I have seen in the goddamn Twitter comments saying "Yuji's such a yapper" and "Yuji stop yapping and fight'" and "look at Sukuna he doesn't give a shit" I saw was just.. I don't know.

Especially to the people going "Yuji stop yapping and fight" I just found myself getting so fucking upset.

First up, hasn't he fought enough??? Haven't we gone CHAPTERS straight of Yuji fighting Sukuna? I know the action is cool and all but give him a break! Like I mentioned, he's only 15.

He's 15 and already had to deal with so much. Imagine losing your grandpa, your friend who had potential to join your side, both your mentors, your other friend who was practically your closest sibling (sorry headcanon moment), his half brother, and watch your friend get possessed and lose his will to live. Yuji has had to fight, fight, watch his loved ones die, and just dealt with so much shit of the jujutsu world when he practically would only be in his first years of high school.

He's already exhausted and he probably has not had any time to tell people. He's always busy caring about other people it's hard to think about himself. Despite talking to his most hated rival, he probably hasn't had any time to talk to someone about his past life. He's using the time to try to get Sukuna to understand, even if it doesn't work, and just cherishing the small things.

We see flashbacks of the pictures of all of the people who died. He's definitely thinking about them during his speech.

Stop it. Just stop. There was already all of that bumgumi shit from reddit. I don't need people trying to stop Yuji from "yapping" or whatever. He's not just yapping.

We get it. You're here for the fights. But deal with it. People don't fight every second of the day. Sometimes they need to let stuff out.

Let Yuji do what he needs to. Please. After all, it might be helping him

Hes already dealt with so much trauma. Please don't push him further to fight.

(Directed towards twitter) I hope you're happy. He's about to fight Sukuna again. I'm so happy for you you don't have to deal with any more yaps. So so happy. (Heavily sarcastic)
