#parahumans fic about how deeply you have to crush your soul to devote yourself to an insane utilitarian cause like Cauldron, and also what consent even means with a power like Path to Victory

#transformersg1 fic about Scrapper's honest-to-god canonical hobby of turning alive people into furniture. transformers means never having to say you're kidding.

1) ty! modern kid!sukuna can't be seen as literally cursed anymore but he can certainly be dehumanized via similar methods
2) yuuji's absolute refusal to give up + loneliness + "love is the greatest curse of all" w/r/t his caring nature dovetail great for curse AUs. lotta possible directions too

for my roleswap au I had the idea that he was born with obvious disfigurements (i.e. multiple arms) and then immediately surrendered to state care. alienated from society by a lack of family, by appearance and 'corrective' surgery, by being a sorcerer. but this also requires care to write

with twin AUs I can think of him more like an extension of yuuji (<-- sentences sukuna would kill me for saying) but he's impossible to imagine as a normal non-sorcerer. this is why I can't get into mundane AUs where he's a CEO ... sukuna does Not obey the social contract well enough to get there

I KNOW. itās so much easier for me to wrap my head around modern!sukuna in twin AUs, or when heās an adult sorcerer and we donāt think about it. but as a child on his own??

same! they're both so prickly. I wish the light novels actually showed us them cleaning out yuuji's room together after his 'death' instead of just telling us it happened

I think itās actually the opposite - they think his performance was trite/not all that. Deep in there is a valid point about the low likelihood of real revolutionary thought coming from American sporting events, but itās certainly not a communist issue

why is communism even relevant here

brain: now that youāve survived, letās follow one NPC as he copes with physical disfigurement and the death of his fiancĆ©e. He finds love with a mosaic artist, comes out as bi, and opens a garden store. But heās haunted by PTSD into old age
me:
brain: okay, now back to the bears. this oneās a cyborg

nah I got you. if Uraume doesn't care to let him know, it's not his problem. asking them the details of their gender would be like asking them to catalog the species of every tree near their home: a waste of time.

āPeopleā as a mass of humanity are beneath him, and women as a subset of people may be especially so, for āacceptingā greater constraints on their choices. But āpersonsā as individuals are distinct from āpeopleā and only the drive of persons matters

the way I think about it is that Sukuna respects *individuals* who unrepentantly seize what they want. like heās not misogynistic to Maki, or even really Yorozu or Angel (he hates them! but for other reasons) Uraume can have whatever gender they want, b/c theyād kill and cook anyone who denied them

SO TRUE š¤
post-canon AU where true form Sukuna is tethered to Yuuji like Rika and Yuuta (and they fuck about it). Heian AU where Yuuji is the only sorcerer Sukuna respects after his disgrace (and they fuck about it).

how fucking dare this girl help him self-actualize! by accident even!!

100% yes to Sukuna being weird about it. f!Yuujiās GMC-ness is an early sign of her unbreakable ideals to him. also my single most self-indulgent headcanon is bigender Sukuna (though he would never use that term). He likes being incarnated in Yuujiās body and heās killing her and himself about it

butch girl Yuuji in canonverse is my everything. she doesnāt even start off doing it on purpose sheās just dressing how she liked to as a kid and didnāt get the memo when that stopped being appropriate (and Wasuke didnāt GAF about policing her). maybe she also has Jinās old randoseruā¦

also I have lots of feelings about a yuri AU for them where Ozawa is The Fat Girl and f!Yuuji is the girl who doesnāt know how to be a girl (b/c with only a sick grandpa, nobody is teaching her about bras, fashion, periods). And then they kiss

same same sameeee. her fat design was so cute ā¦ I want to imagine she regains weight after the stress of the growth spurt wears off

sukuna thinks he is being so normal about yuuji but really his obsession is so obvious it can only be expressed through billboards

sukuna looks so baffled and mildly upset by this affection (deep down he loves it)
