When you father so hard you start mothering
Mimiko and Nanako growing up with Shoko, Gojo and Geto
I have a headcanon about Geto's hairstyle change (maybe there's some symbolism to it, but idk so here's mine).
What if the silhouette of Geto with his hair up resembles the people from their village? The elders who were scapegoating and incarcerating kids. Ofc he doesn't look like them, but with a dim nightlight and half-asleep after a nightmare?
Geto's hair was entirely up in the high bun when he found Mimiko and Nanako. After that, it never was. He changed his look, too, but even before then, in Shinjuku, without the kesa, he kept his hair half up.
He rly did everything for those girls. Dropped out of high school, losing his career, his friends, everything. He couldn't let what happened to Riko be repeated. And even if he took Mimiko and Nanako with him, but left the village and the cult alone, the cycle would repeat with more victims. This was Geto's way to end the cycle.
We've already seen official art of Geto reading that book on motherhood or whatever, so I think he was also well-read on subjects like PTSD and childhood trauma. Mimiko and Nanako grew up to be strong and confident, they were true to themselves. They had the courage to complain, to ask for things. They were able to recover.
I'm going to be as vague as possible here, with only implied csa, heavier content warning for all the linked posts.
A while ago I was thinking about how Mai and Sukuna seemed quite similar. Secretly very hurt people who put on this edgelord show and pretend not to care or feel.
Since reading these posts about Mai, it got me thinking even more like. The triggers that caused sukuna and Mai to act in ways that made them unloveable characters.
Like when Nobara said "trouble sleeping? You've got open pores", I think that hit a nerve because Mai probably had insomnia and recurring nightmares. Her family would have scapegoated the victim (which is really common irl - somehow it's more shameful to acknowledge a predator in the family than it is to defend them).
And Sukuna with Mimiko - that always drove me insane. It made me resent sukuna for a long time, but gradually I grew this fixation to understand him. Anyway, I'd said before that it was feeling manipulated and told what to do that triggered Sukuna - but I don't think that's it.
Mimiko was terrified of him. They both were. But God, when else have we seen someone's head explode like that? Haruta got one slice. Nanako got cubed. Even the fingie curse that was afraid of Sukuna and attacked him instead of joining forces - that thing got five slices (and he intended for three).
Whatever reactions people had to Sukuna when he lived as a human (and in his current life), whether he was deified or demonized or enslaved, he was seen as a threat to restrain, he was an object of fear. I think the twins' fear of Sukuna hit a nerve.
The fingie curse wasn't trying to use Sukuna - it directly attacked him. But to be feared and told what to do, I think that mix really hit some unresolved trauma.
Edit to add:
another idea I forgot to include is that Sukuna would have known the twins were asking sukuna to kill kenjaku. I think part of him really, really wants to, but due to a pact or something he can't, and that also made him feel helpless. (tbh I don't totally understand this - kenjaku seems to have a covercive relationship with the reincarnated sorcerers. Not only are they taking over someone else's body without being invited to - but they seem rly uncomfortable with him. And it's like they try to get past that... But at the end of the Shibuya arc, Kenjaku said that the pacts he made w those sorcerers were voided when he changed bodies. I assume that, even someone who makes pacts often (like Sukuna) doesn't know that they become nullified when kenjaku changes bodies (how could they know? No one else does that). Or maybe they are only canceled on Kenjaku's end, but the other sorcerers might still face consequences (which I find less believable, as their old bodies are also gone, though maybe eating themselves was also a way to retain that bond).
If you want a deeper read w even more context (especially on sukuna), here's a link. (this post got me thinking so much, half of my drafts are in reaction to it probably)
