thinking about how, yeah, sirius left regulus but andromeda left sirius before that. andromeda who would always look out for sirius as family gatherings and events. andromeda who would be the only one to buy him christmas and birthday presents for fun and not for practicality. andromeda who saw him one last time a few months before she ran away and noticed that he was more like her than he knew.
like, imagine her desperately pulling him aside while everyone else is distracted and and trying to say goodbye in her own way while also letting him know that running doesn't make him a coward. it makes him braver than most. that it's okay. that it'll be okay. but she's talking about how creation stories often begin with separation. how the sky and the ocean had to split to make the earth. how you have to cut off the dead roots of a plant to grow new life. how sometimes you have to leave in order to begin.
and sirius is too young and he doesn't understand what she's trying to tell him, even though he knows it's important. and he still doesn't understand months later when she runs away with ted and is burned off the family tree. but her words keep him up at night. until finally it's his turn and it all starts falling into place. he's the sky and regulus is the ocean. he's the plant and regulus is the root. and andromeda was trying to tell him that there's an agony in splitting apart, in cutting yourself loose and running but she believed he could do it. she was trying to tell him all those years ago. andromeda always knew that his story was the same at hers, one born out of separation.
STOP IT WHY DID I NEVER NOTICE THALIA'S TREE LOOKS LIKE A PERSON?????
IM GONNA FUCKING CRY WHY WOULD YOU DO THIS WHAT WAS GOING THROUGH THEIR MINDS
It’s nice to see that many people are actually beginning to get over the whole “Gojo is a fuckboy” and shit that people had going for the 1st season, but there is a big lack of what Gojo is then that I don’t see people talking about.
Like, in the show he is considered the strongest and a blessing and all that, but to his core, Gojo is a lover; and no, I don’t mean that (completely) romantically.
To those that are in his care and that “control him” (the higher ups) consider his abilities a blessing, but to himself, he considers himself the most cursed person on the planet; remember what he said to Yuta, “love is the most twisted curse of them all.” Because Gojo loves those around him even if he doesn’t try to, because he is human, he is a person and people love without trying to.
That’s why he will never be “free” from the curse he is placed under by the universe, and why he will always be “on top” and “unstoppable” - because love makes one stronger; but in Gojo’s case, he doesn’t want to be stronger, yet is forced to be.
Gojo will forever be the problem, because no matter what he does, he can’t not love others.
It’s his love for his students, his bffs, his teacher, his coworkers, everyone, that is driving the plot forwards; because if he didn’t love any of them, he wouldn’t be there, and the curses wouldn’t be as strong as they are.
I honestly think that, spoilers, but if Gojo knew what would end up happening in the future because of his existence, I almost truly believe, he would have allowed Toji to kill him back when he had the chance to die; sure, he would be petty and go out joking n shit, but he would go out knowing he saved so many people from what he was going to bring upon them by just purely loving them.
But, he didn’t know that, and instead, he lived; his love for wanting to live and wanting to just meet his friends again was his motivation - once again, it is legit love that drove Gojo to fully go crazy and become the strongest there ever was, and he didnt realize before years later.
He didn’t realize his mistake until the people he loved went spiraling; and he had no way to help, because how could he? He was the reason they did so afterall.
After Geto decided to dip on Jujutsu high, Gojo tried to do things differently. He tried isolating himself, but couldn’t and so came up with a better idea of trying to not get overly attached to just one(1) person and instead spread it out so no one felt pressured by his love to go over the edge like Geto did
But we all know that ended terribly too, because it wasn’t because of the pressure of the love that was the problem, it was the love itself - Gojo’s love was the problem.
What I find kinda funny about Gojo actually is how his own words about something that was basically meant to others - “love is the most twisted curse of all” - describes himself more than it describes others.
Thank you for coming to my ted talk.
rhaenyra embodies love is the death of duty
alicent embodies duty is the death of love
and this is why they are the ultimate yin/yang tragedy. they complete each other and oppose each other beautifully.
I was in the middle of a lovely break when kusanagi decided to just kill me. Tell me why i open the new yotd chapter to the most heartbreaking soohak reunion ever? Like HUH? The absolute despair pouring out of soowon and the helplessness hak must be feeling is just too much to take in rn
Everyone always talks about how many pranks James and Sirius probably pulled, but no one ever talks about how Peter pulled the last one 💀
