The Way You Write Geto Really Stuck With Me I Remember Reading Your Threads With Him AGES Ago And Going

one of the most challenging things about kogami to portray in writing is the mental gymnastics going through his mind the moment someone questions him about the real motive behind his obsession with avenging sasayama and chasing Makishima because at one point it stops being about the pursuit of justice and more about the destruction of your distorted image in a mirror staring back at you and when the abyss is mentioned to conceptualize kogamis turmoil and descent into an unhealthy obsession it's less about the darkness of the act and more about seeing your likeness in someone else, the sense that that something you always felt was wrong in the world, the bell tolling in a dark forest is closer to you than you ever imagined and you can grasp it and it can graze you back but all you need to do is accept it and that feeling alone scares you disgusts you but more terrifying than anything is that it entices you, otherwise why else would it haunt you afterwards? Why would it follow? Why would you let it stay in the shape of an illusion? Why did you respond to its calling? But that's hard to portray in like 2 paragraphs without making kogami look insane.

that's honestly how i feel too, sometimes i've read more in-character approaches of a character in pwp fics than in whatever threads nonshipping fans make on twitt dot com. what matters to me at the end of the day is how the characters are written in the dynamic, probably my only turn-off in regards shipping is when a character who is fundamentally broken, has a wrapped perception of society or human relationships, is written as romantic and like a dream boyfriend/girlfriend because that's not who they are. but when the character's method for love and their response to being loved is approached like in canon, with all the visceral disgust, or the obsessive patterns, or the self-sabotage... now we're talking. shipping can be an extension of character study and everything depends on the writer *shrug*

"You're losing my interest and that's very dangerous." Usami to Ogata

interest came in many forms.

for the privates of the 7th division, interest could only be defined by the free-fall act of rebellion coiling in the guts of their infantry, the belly of it all. a less prominent interest, but existing altogether within the rows and rows of hungry men looking for recognition was, undoubtedly, the merciful caress of their first lieutenant’s hand.

like a kid searching for their father’s approval, soldiers lined up for morning call expecting to hear or witness first lieutenant tsurumi’s fanfare, the speeches that could go on for hours on end, basking in the sound of his own voice. ogata could almost see it, had wanted it for a while before he’d found something else - amber eyes, the asymmetry of a war-scarred face - to keep his rapt attention and stomach well-fed.

usami doesn’t seem the type who’d rather look anywhere else. their gazes meet, locked in place by the silent feeling of recognition: he saw in usami’s expression a familiar sort of necessity, the kind he’d found himself stepping back into every time he brought a dead bird back home, in ibaraki. whether tsurumi glanced back and gave usami the attention he sought for, that’s entirely up for debate. he doubted it would be any more different than appraisal, the kind that officers perform routinely with every new stock of mosin-nagants.

it’s only then that be becomes aware of the thickening smell of antiseptic, gunpowder and death. an amused smirk tugs at his lips, voice falling a few octaves, words slurred by the remnants of anaesthesia lingering in his system. “dangerous, for who?”

“prey animals don’t turn their backs to their predators. it's in their best interest, don't you agree?”

@muddsludge

Would you ever consider writing Nanami, Toji, or Sukuna?

Based off my blog, what other characters could you see me Roleplay as?

NOT NANAMI AGAIN HELPPP, maybe this is a divine message to actually get to it and write him omg... two suggestions too many, will re-read the manga to see if the muse latches onto me.

as for toji and sukuna... wrote toji briefly for a couple discord rps but that's the end of it, the muse didn't stick but that's probably because i don't have any sort of attachment to his wife which is like a big part of his character, and i dont really agree with most interpretations that he's only strictly a bad father. man did what he could within the realm of his possibilities so seeing the jjk universe in absolutes is kind of a disservice to them; the structure broke not only him but geto, gojo, haibara, nanami, etc. and that's a rabbit hole i dont like touching as to avoid discourse.

sukuna.... i think i prefer reading him and drawing him than to write him. actually just drawing him lmao i don't feel like my writing style fits his character bc mine is kinda introspective and he's a pragmatic nonhuman being, which is a bit difficult to write for me with my limited english orz that'd need more direct words that i dont know helppp

this got too long omg
