Jujutsu Kaisen Crack 3
Back at it again with another JJK crack vid. Watch as my children slowly descend into madness.
Jujutsu Kaisen - Disturbia {AMV}
Don't be scared. Come and enter the madness. They don't bite...
I reached to Yuuji-sensei and Yuuta-sensei for ideas. Kiyo-kun was busy with daily work, but eventually joined us.
Junpei's been working very hard as well, both in missions and classes, as well as aiding Shoko in extracurricular classes and attending the Yoshino Film Club reunions. Everyone agreed that after this exhausting week, Junpei deserved both recognition and a well-deserved break.
Henceforth, we all assembled a picnic birthday party, and everyone pitched in with gifts and food.
Yuuji-sensei was on the lead alongside me, making sure that everything was in place. Needless to say, Junpei was very happy, and also a bit relieved; in his words, he suspected that we were going to surprise him, but was concerned that it'd be a cliche move like a 'movie night party'. Not that he'd hate that, but he did want something different (I'm glad we did not aim for the obvious XD).
Not everyone could come to the party, but considering the amount of gifts, I'm glad everyone came together for this.
While we were about to take a picture, I saw Yuuji-sensei tear up; he told me that I helped a vision he had a long time ago, one he had to give up on almost immediately, come true now; he also asked me to keep helping Junpei the best I can.
Hehe, like he'd need to ask that. I wouldn't have it any other way.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, JUNPEI! I'm glad to be your big sister, and I promise to keep helping you!
Heterosexual shippers in the jjk fandom is a prime example of the double standards between queer ships and het ships.
I think we all know the amount of flak queers ships receive with comments such as “they’re just friends” that aren’t used against het ships. All the m/f relationships (besides mechamiwa) are canonically platonic and will stay platonic, as confirmed by the author. Yet people seem to dismiss this in favor of their het ships and claim that they’re canon.
People are quick to pair Yuuji and Nobara (which we all know is simply because Nobara is a girl and Yuuji is a boy) and no one blinks an eye but If I were to head down to the YouTube comment sections and say I ship Megumi and Yuuji, I would get slammed with responses telling me “their just friends, stop making everything gay” even though yuuji and nobara are just as platonic, probably even more so than Yuuji and Megumi.
You know it’s funny seeing dudebros commonly make jokes on how “Yaoi fangirls” ship male characters who even hate it each other and then try to tell me Gojohime (Gojo x Utahime) is canon. Utahime, a woman who canonically dislikes Gojo, a man who canonically causes her stress will always be interpreted as a “Tsundere” even though that’s not what her character represents. Nanago (Gojo x Nanami) which is basically the same ship dynamic as gojohime isn’t treated as fairly. In a jujutsu Stroll episode, Gojo asks Nanami out on a date, but if you ship them, you’re just a crazy fangirl but if we were to replace Nanami with Utahime during that scene, we all know Gojohime would considered “basically canon” unlike Nanago
Satosugu (Gojo and Getou), the most heavily romantic coded paring in the entire series yet people still can’t fathom why others ship it.
Yeah just ignore the romantic language, the romantic break up theme songs, literally their entire relationship and I could see where you’re coming from.
And don’t get me started on the Yutamaki and Nobamaki debate. On any Nobamaki post you’ll see floods of comments claiming that “Maki has a crush on Yuta” because she blushed in that one scene, completely ignoring the fact that in Gege’s old art style, blushing is common and is mostly used to enhance a character’s emotion. Using the “Maki blushed argument”, that must mean Yuta must have a crush on Inumaki because he blushed while looking at him right?
Not only that but Nobara and Maki mutually blush in a scene where Gege uses their new style where blushing is used more sparingly but that doesn’t seem to count. Instead, many straight people will riot against Nobamaki with claims such as “They’re a sibling relationship!” or “Nobara just compliments Maki a lot because she views her as her role model” as if their specific interpretation is the objectively correct one.
I don’t care if you ship an m/f ship, but stop putting down queer ships and giving het ships special treatment.
Sorry for the rant-y post, the terrible comments under a Nobamaki tiktok post just tipped me over the edge.
Edit: I already know m/f experience hate or whatever but personally I just really don’t care. Why? Because the reasonings are different. Shipping discourse will always occur but the discourse surrounding queer ships are ALWAYS a result of homophobia, actual real world consequences. This was a post about the double standards between queer ships and het ships being valid, these standards stemming from homophobia.
Nobamaki will defeat sukuna with the power of yuri !!

JJK x MLP part 1 - Tokyo
I've been working on pony-fying a ton of JJK characters because every new interest I get must be hit with my pony autism beam. I've drawn a shitload and I'll be posting them in sections since I can't upload all of them in one 🥲
In my mind, cursed energy works like dark magic, which is why everyone is a unicorn (or alicorn)!
I loved them together!
Maki!!!⚘️
jujutsu kaisen 151, on what maki said
alright ive been forced to come back to this hell site to make this post because i cannot take this maki top energy slander
i want to talk about this panel here, which specifically i’ve seen these two variations of translations from (left is VIZ and right is TCB scans):
while both of these translations are technically correct, the original japanese says “抱いてやるよ” (daite yaru yo)
抱く (daku) technically means to hug, and it’s conjugated w/ やる (yaru) which means that the action is being done as a favor for someone. another way to conjugate this verb for a similar meaning is あげる (ageru), but yaru is less polite and more condescending (especially in this context). the tone of the sentence is very 上から目線 (“from a high perspective”), meaning that maki is definitely talking down (quite strongly) on naoya; and i think this does come through from both of the english translations pictured above.
but now the part that drove jp twt crazy.
while 抱く(daku) does technically mean hug/embrace/hold, it can also be understood in a sexual way: specifically, to top (i swear i am not making this up LOL) 抱く(daku) means you are topping, and 抱かれる (dakareru) means you are bottoming — so essentially what maki is saying can also be interpreted as “i’ll top you (as a favor)”
now, i know this initially seems really out of place in english, but it actually makes a lot of sense given the history of their relationship and naoya’s personality in particular. we all know that naoya has been sexist af and spewing nonsense like women should always walk 3 steps behind men etc. so in some way, reverting that typical male/female dynamic is actually a really great taunt — it’s VERY insulting to naoya’s fragile masculinity lol some ppl have even gone as far as to guess that perhaps its a line that naoya/others have said to maki before (maybe under the context that she has no value except to serve men — but ofc this is all just speculation), and now maki is throwing it back right at him to, quite literally, establish dominance. bottom line is that I don’t think she meant it literally but the reversal of dynamic that the line implies seems pretty obvious and makes a lot of sense as a double meaning addition to the line.
i also saw some of jp twt talking about comparisons with this panel from the manga “kenya kagyou” (disclaimer: i’ve never read this manga; akutami gege references other works in jjk all the time so ppl were guessing this was the manga being referenced here). one character used the exact same form of “shiranui-gata” in sumo and he said “dakishimete yaru,” which usually means “hug tightly”; but here the play on words is instead on the verb “shimeru,” which can also mean to strangle.
anyways, i guess what i’m trying to say is akutami gege could’ve kept this line/used similar variations of it to convey the same “i will hug you (threatening),” but instead chose to use “daite yaru yo.” this specific combination of words really is quite often sexual (i think a good comparison for the degree of sexual connotation is the phrase “netflix and chill” — where yes, it could also mean actually only netflix and chill, but most ppl, even if they dont mean it, are at least aware of the sexual connotation). gege has a history of playing with double meanings a lot (stuff like sukuna’s “魅せてみろ” or “去ね”), so do what you will with that info lol sumo is also a sport in which women are traditionally banned from competing in, so maki taking on this pose w/ the line fits well with the subverting gender roles theme that’s going on as a big “screw you” at naoya
in conclusion akutami gege said maki tops yall
Curiosity:
Maki Zenin (Jujutsu Kaisen) and Mikasa Ackerman (Shingeki no Kyojin) are played by the same stage actress, Sara Takatsuki
Sara characterized as Maki Zenin and Mikasa Ackerman
