(this isnt to shit on Miura. his work has endlessly inspired and meant a lot to me, but that doesn't mean that it is exempt from constructive criticism)

i love Casca but damn it if she isn't the most misused character ever. I can understand what happened to her in the Eclipse from a narrative standpoint (Miura really didn't need to draw that scene in titillating angles though. It was fucking disgusting already). I can understand Casca loosing her memories. And as much as I despise it I can even understand her going into a zombie child-like state.

But what I can't understand is her being in this state…for what is essentially almost the entirety of the main story (20+ real life years) and GET 0 CHARACTER DEVELOPEMENT IN BETWEEN.

Don't get me wrong, arguably the best scene in the story is when she finally "wakes up" in Elfhelm. But they couldn't even give her a single thought, a short internal dialogue of the conscious part of her brain in between all this time? Nothing for who is essentially the tritagonist and supposedly the main heroine of this story, to who is at her core a really interesting and beautiful character with tons of wasted potential?

At some point "fanfic can be as good as professional writing" became "fanfic should be as good as professional writing" and that's caused major damage to fandom spaces.

I am jealous of those who think more deeply, who write better, who draw better, who look better, who live better, who love better than I.

YES! Your points are valid btw. YN is not relatable anymore, she is bland, boring and straight up stupid as well, sadly she is this way in every fandom.

For the JJK fandom though, I don’t care about fanfics that much. But the fandom truly doesn’t even try to see Gojo from another perspective rather than the popular fanon one, and it’s not a problem in fanfics only but art, music wtv they try to assign to Satoru is the same thing. 80% of the Gojo fics are so boring because they’re all the same.

Gojo may be the same in most fics, but YN will always be the worst because at this point i can no longer insert myself because i won’t do the stupid stuff she does. Last time i read something that made me feel good to insert myself was back in 2017 and that’s it. It’s so sad though and i agree with you on the point that the guy doesn’t always have to try for the girl but the opposite THANK YOU I’m honestly tired of this trope its so overused and when you ask why readers don’t write the reverse they always say sexist shit like “because a real man would do yada yada”, “it’s the man’s role to do blah blah” like ??? Did they hire you at the gender roles assignment to make the rules? No Tf. It’s always so dumb.

People are allowed to like wtv they like and read the media they enjoy the most. It just becomes tiring real quick and feels like the fics and stuff are just being recycled. Let’s be fr.

Things that annoys me in the Jujutsu Kaisen Fandom

Sorry but this is going to be all over the place.

Am I the only one tired of the same trope being used when it comes to Gojo from JJK? In other words the enemies to lovers trope where the oc or reader is basically Utahime with out the name.

Like we all remember the episode where he gave out what type of person he was into which was a nice girl or something along those lines. I that as writers you have to take creative liberties but why are all the readers in these stories are exactly the same.

They either hate Gojo or is super easily annoyed at him. Jerks but its okay cause for some reason he loves them unconditionally. This is so annoying cause there is no push back from Gojo in these stories. Just him taking back the reader or waiting for them to return his feelings when in actuality he shouldn't.

Another thing that annoys me is why is it always the guy that's simping why can't it ever be the woman being madly in love and trying to win him over?

This enemies to lover trope has completely taken over the Reader x Gojo fandom and its so overused. Now I will admit there are some gems out there, but I just don't even bother reading anything that is enemies to lovers anymore. I'm just tired of reading the same thing over and over again with the same copy and paste formula/reader.

Also why is smut so strong on here. Like don't get me wrong those writers are killing it with the plot aspect but man does all the smut kill me. Like I want more plot these are really good and creative ideas but man the smut kills me lol. Still reading the plot but stop at the smut parts which is usually the end so we gucci.

Hmm, another trope I refuse to read in these are arranged marriage were we are supposed to be upset with the guy who is forced to marry someone they don't want too. Why? Well for starters it always start with the reader being mistreated by the guy for some reason and the reader putting up with it until something happens and the guy falls in love with them and has to gain both their trust and love again.

I can get behind this but they always make the guy so unredeemable in these that it would be crazy if she takes him back. [She always does] Another thing is we are supposed to hate the guy because he wants to remain faithful to the person he was with before the arrange marriage. Like why are we bashing a faithful man?

Another trope I hate is when the guy is always in the wrong. A while ago I read a Gojo x reader fic were reader was mad that Gojo couldn't spend a lot of time with her so she broke up. Okay valid even though I am sure this would have been addressed before or earlier in the relationship but okay. What annoyed me with this story is that she then goes on to get in a relationship with Nanami who then calls Gojo an idiot for losing a woman like her.

I could not believe what I read. Like what the hell did Gojo do? At this point Gege posted about Gojo's life and how the man is booked to the max and I couldn't help but think how distasteful it was to first make it appear as if Nanami would do something like that to Gojo and secondly pretend that they don't have more free time compared to him. Like Nanami even understood why Geto did what he did.

Anyway that's all I got for now. I am not here to argue but I would love to hear about what you think on this. A second opinion is always welcomed and if you have a trope you don't like then I would love to hear it.

Also if you have a story that you would like to promo then please do so in the comments. It is a okay if you want too. No pressure,

If I’m not the best by my own standards, then I’m nothing.

I am jealous of those who think more deeply, who write better, who draw better, who look better, who live better, who love better than I.

The problem is people are being hated when they are real, and being loved when they are fake.

Uhm, as far as I know, Uraume isn’t a child.

I keep seeing these weird posts on X about Sukuna and Uraume being parent and child. Why do people tend to sexualise everything? If it wasn’t at risk of becoming sexualised, it wouldn’t have become “father and child”, imho. It’s just bizarre.

Can’t love be love? Like, just pure innocent love?

Does it have to be attached to any set role? Master-servant; friend-friend; husband-wife; etc.

People can be so obsessed with sex, gender, age... when these characters cross over from being human to whatever Tengen was (more like a curse) - they don’t necessarily have any of those features any more. Age becomes a concept.

What really matters is what they were to each other and what they ended up realising they wanted.

Sukuna recognised his emotions and turned away from Mahito. He rejected the hate and fear that Mahito represented. He turned towards hope. With Uraume. Uraume was a symbol of, “I’m ready to open up to being attached to something/someone other than just a pure hedonistic sense of existence”.

I sometimes sense that so much relates to unresolved daddy / inadequate parental figure / attachment issues.

Do we as a fandom need some psychoanalysis?
