why are you accusing everyone of ai generated art…
i'm not "accusing everyone" - i shared the originals with others because it was blatantly obvious (to me and others, too), and their supporters deserve to know that they're being deceived. never mind the fact that some of them admitted to it themselves afterwards. why are you defending people without integrity who have been shown to steal from others or do not disclose their use of AI? you'd prefer it to be swept under the rug while they're merrily gathering more approval from those who are oblivious to it?
what's your ideal gojo characterization and why
what do you mean? as in, how i see or interpret his character? i don't think there's one true or ideal answer, as with any piece of fiction. we project and make our own version or intepretation of the lines or words we see on paper - which is fine, that's the point. that being said, i don't like seeing him be reduced to "silly clown", "egotistical asshole" or "that guy who's still not over/nothing without his ex". like any other person - fictional or not - he is a combination of different, sometimes even contradictory characteristics, and that's what makes him interesting. i wrote a bit more about his strength/character development (or what i hope to see going forward) here: https://twitter.com/unlimitedhollow/status/1710666708103405733
what’s your dni or block criterias here?
i don't have any definite criterias per se (except minors), but i do block very liberally to curate my own tl and avoid drama. mostly people that harass or are rude towards others over fiction, be that shipping discourse or shipping preferences (i.e., if they're unable to ship and let ship and mind their own business while muting and blocking what they don't want to see), or general bigotry (such as virtue signalling and caring more about a fictional character's well-being or honor/characterisation than a real person on the other side of the screen; "XYZ dni" but proceeding to start drama with those very people, etc.). i block people who think verbal abuse or "kys" is ever acceptable, or who bash ships and series that i enjoy. anyone is welcome to interact if they're a decent and respectful adult - i have plenty of moots that ship my NOTPs or have views that i don't quite agree with, but that's alright. if you find yourself blocked or want to know why, you can message me here or on my fanart side acc (@ophidienne) ✌️
what got you into jjk? what do u like abt the series?
good question, i don't remember it too well. i think i saw the series in a local bookstore more than 2 years ago but didn't actually start reading or watching it until i joined anitwt in 2022. i've been into anime and manga for over 15 years now but i've never been this hooked on anything haha. it's just exceptionally well done - the story centered around human emotions and the whole mind/body dualism, the action that uses both physical strength and jujutsu abilities, yuuji best boi(TM), the diverse cast (even if gege kills them all off) and good villains. and obvsiously gege's sense of humor, too. i like how unconventional he is while taking inspiration/referencing other shonen series. both fujimoto and gege are my age so i find them kinda relatable in their commentary and the "energy" they give off. i fell for the series even more after watching the anime because some of my favorite voice actors are in it - i still periodically re-watch season 1 because it's fantastic
heyy thank u for sharing the cleaned versions of official arts <33 have u thought of cleaning the vol. 25 manga cover? sukuna looks so majestic and flawless there and i had to ask
Where do you read the jjk manga? I've been wanting to read and don't know where! (: thankyou
i read it on TCB scans and the official shonen jump site (mangaplus.shueisha.co.jp) until the actual volumes get published. i prefer TCB's translations to the official one as John Werry tends to... well, butcher it more often than not (unless Lightning is the translator). i buy the physical volumes in german and sometimes the japanese originals, too. i like to compare and understand the source material as much as i can even if my language skills are limited :)
is gojo a switch to you?
yeah, i may have a slight preference or bias in certain ships but overall he's a switch to me! gojo is such a versatile character, it just lends itself to the most delicious dynamics (which is why i whore him out A LOT, lmao) 👌 i'll never understand the whole top/bottom discourse in fandom, anyway - everyone can imagine or depict characters however they like, there's no right or wrong answer
basically you're saying that people having a certain view about gojo's shitty mentor ass is worse than people making fanart of him fucking his students who are children
so you get bothered by people's theories and opinions of characters but you don't get bothered by people shipping children with 30 year old hags?
there's a difference between discussing or disagreeing on elements/theories that are centered around the canon material and personal preferences in shipping. i'm bothered when people lack reading comprehension skills or conflate canon and fanon/shipping ideas.
it's none of my business what people like to ship or explore as long as it's fictional. and i dislike plenty of ships, problematic or not, but i'm not on twt to argue about them, so i block/mute and move on. it's really not that deep
I hope you got your assignment done in time! Good luck 💪
tell us why are you friends with a proshipper
what are you working on 👀
i'm currently reworking a manuscript that i submitted to a journal and received reviewer feedback for. i have to finish this revision before christmas and it honestly makes me want to rip out my hair. i've had to learn how to program some more complex analyses for it (which is what i was so busy with) and now i'm trying to make sense of them, describe what i did etc. (i have no clue what i did if i think about it too much lmao) soz, i'll stop complaning now 🫡
very wholesome hc but I like to think of Yuuji as the golden retriever type character. He's a good boy, a little dumb but so eager to please and loves play time with his friends. HOWEVER, he also has german shepherd type qualities as in protection by any means necessary. Either way, he's just a good boy and deserves head pats.
omg Teal, yes, yuuji is THE puppy ever - and frankly, this wicked world doesn't even deserve him. he's just a precious ray of sunshine, loyal and good-natured almost to a fault. i've never had a dog myself but i imagine them to be like him - energetic, non-judgmental, positive and just. WAHH I NEED TO FLUFF HIS HAIR AND GIVE HIM HEAD PATS AND BELLY RUBS.
if anything happens to him in canon.,..
(and sukuna would totally be the - very judgmental and laconic - cat that tries to spoil his fun haha. he's also the only one that can rile him up and make him lash out in earnest. i just love how they both bicker and are at each other's throats like cat and dog 😌)
i don't remember exactly how we met but i think it must have been some memes in the manga leaks replies? anyway, you were so nice and responsive to me from the beginning and i'm proud of you for working hard and growing your account like crazy (so deserved!). we have a lot of opinions in common plus you get me fr and accept my crazy brainworms despite being basically like a little sister to me hahah 😚
😀 oh my rapist is dead so im making a feast. Crepe cake, lasagna, garlic bread, vegetables soup. 😁 i have a hugeeee sweet tooth so i always have dessert ready first
