It’s me again, your biggest spammer atp lmao.
One of the reasons I love your stories so much is because you write relationships, romantic or otherwise, so beautifully. I loved your depiction of Aoba and Anko’s friendship in On a Distant Star - their bond transcends the usual human connection. That’s very rare to find, especially in a male-female friendship in writing.
It’s glorious to read about the messiness and complexity of interpersonal relationships in all their twisty beauty - especially when done by an author who knows the ins and outs of humanity. You can make a reader love even the most random background character who’s appeared for, what, a page? Their idiosyncrasies, their flaws, and their passions all shine through in your writing.
Not to mention that I LOVE your rarepairs. As for Raidō and Kurenai??? Hoooo boi I never thought I’d ship it more than her and Asuma 😂 (seeing the three of them and how they interacted in Storms, being so beautifully in character, was a treat. I wanna ramble more because there is SO MUCH). I didn’t even know sai/tenten existed until I discovered one of your fics and that sent me down a rabbit hole asw ahshshshs.
I’m so sorry for the long-winded essay I just wrote you 😂 I’m running on three hours of sleep and am jet-lagged as fuck. Not to mention I had to sit at my laptop for the better part of a day and hammer out two assignments due on the same day. So I apologise for any lack of clarity herein.
Anyway, I hope you have a lovely day! ☺️
Ah, it's not spam! I have Tumblr because I know readers sometimes feel more comfortable connecting here rather than leaving a kudos or comment.
I think I'm kind of a boring writer. My best stories don't have a lot in terms of plot, and mostly I just write what I want to read because I like so many rare pairs. I think we all want to feel a deep connection, platonic or romantic, and for some characters, like Aoba and Anko, I think them being very close friends makes more sense than a traditional romantic entanglement.
I think you're giving me too much credit lol I have just read a lot of books and seen messy people in action. I feel like I abuse the man versus self trope all the time, but that's what I'm really interested in, is how we lie to ourselves and betray ourselves to our own detriment. And the background characters are easier because there's more room to play around with them, and potential readers aren't invested in them the same was as they are with popular characters. Writing Kakashi puts my stomach in knots, but characters like Asuma and Raidou are easy peasy, because I know enough to make guesses and can be creative.
LOL Raidou and Kurenai only started because I thought it was lame for Kakashi and Asuma to be her two options. Raidou was just cute enough and you could see the leap between him to Asuma. LOL I'm never getting away from Storms. It's a mess in a lot of ways and there are things I would change, but from some of the comments I also feel like the people who needed to read it found it, so it stays. I just think that Lovesickness will be better, and a fuller picture of what could've happened.
I will maintain, until my dying day, that Sai and Tenten aren't a huge leap at all lol.
I don't mind the essays! And I definitely know what it means to be jetlagged and a student. I most certainly do not miss either. Thank you so much for reading and leaving such a sweet comment, take care!
(And find time away from you computer, learn from my mistakes and save your eyes and posture lol).
IM YELLING
Shizune and ASUMA have GOT to be another fav rarepair
Same with Tenten and Sai 😭 YOUR FICS GOT ME
Tenten and Sai are literally a woman who just wants to be heard and a man who wants to listen. I think they’d be so cute.
Asuma and Shizune would be high-strung and laidback in compatible ways. I could see them being disappointed and disillusioned together on the road with a spiralling Tsunade in the background. I literally lay in bed listening to “Chemtrails over the Country Club” and “You’re in the wind, I’m in the water/Nobody’s son, nobody’s daughter” and “Washing my hair, doing the laundry/Late-night TV, I want you only” are so them lol.
Wow, I am so sorry for the longwinded response. I am but an amalgamation of sad girl memes, Lana Del Rey and Ethel Cain songs, and literary references. You are too kind to me! Thank you for reading my stories!
I've been putting off reading getohime fics for so long because I thought there wouldn't be too many, and boy was I proven right, but I came upon your fics on ao3 and was immediately hooked. I haven't read all of them yet, but the ones that I adore the most are your kidfics/ implied preggo fic esp with little Tomie in them. I just finished reading If We Make it Through December and author-chan, Why'd you have to make it hurt so much? 😭 As someone who's not accustomed to an angsty fic without a happy ending, it literally crushed my heart that Geto turned out the way he is in that fic, and his own kid wouldn't even be an exception to his demented vision of the world. But then I read Terrible, No Good, Awful, and even though it's a satosho fic with a side of getohime, I still adore the getohime crumbs here and there and ohhhhh!!! little Tomie is adorable (along with the satosho kiddos). I want to see more of her interactions with Geto in an Au similar to that fic where he's present and all is well... huhu, needless to say, I hope you consider making more getohime kidfic with more Geto and Tomie moments. I'd like to read how their relationship would turn out, given you made Tomie's mannerism similar to Geto's.
and oh, a question if you don't mind. In an AU where getohime is together and all is well, do you plan to give Tomie siblings or is it just gonna be her, their only child. #babieseverafter
When I pictured my life as a child I definitely did not think I'd be writing so many fics for such a specific rare pair but nonetheless, here I am.
Tomie is actually my favorite kid OC that I've written. Her name is from Junji Ito's Tomie, a manga about a girl who is so beautiful, that men become obsessed with owning her and kill her in a jealous rage, only for her to continually come back as a curse (her body regenerates). To me, Tomie is a great namesake because she embodies female rage (Utahime) and has a villainous resistance to a world more sinister than any person (Geto). And yeah, if Geto's own mother isn't an exception to the rule, than his child definitely wouldn't be either. I also think that Junji Ito is a major influence on Gege and the world of JJK, where there is the larger, mysterious and incurable problem of cursed energy that is the ooze from which Sukuna and Kenjaku spring (and is arguably the bigger villain). I know Ito also let Gege use an image from Uzumaki for Geto's Maximum Uzumaki. The only way I can get through this series is telling myself that JJK is Junji Ito shounen magic cage fights lol.
LOL Tomie has such a different dynamic with GetoHime than SatoShoko's kids have with their parents. I feel like Gojo and Shoko are actually very functional co-parents and their kids can rely on them for everything. I think Tomie is more independent. I think she takes her problems to Geto over Utahime because she wants to protect her mom and knows how ridiculous Utahime can be. I've been flirting with more kidfic in the Terrible, No Good, Awful-universe because it has the best set up for it, but I won't make promises, since I've got other stories for other fandoms to write.
Tomie is an only child. Pregnancy is one of the most metal things that the human body can do, and is so rough that I don't think my girl Utahime could do it twice.
Thanks for reading and apologies for the long rant! Clearly, I have a vision lol.
Kamo Noritoshi looks like the lovechild of Getohime. I can't explain it properly, but it has been on my mind for quite a while.
The ages don't line up but Kamo certainly has the potential for crazy that both Geto and Utahime have.
If I recall correctly, he's very concerned about being a good son and loves his mom. I could see a GetoHime kid carrying that similar burden, even though Geto and Utahime aren't members of some weird clan. I feel like if GetoHime babysat him as young adults people would give them the side eye I'd sometimes get when I was a teenager with my younger cousins.
I included the gifs for evidence but alas, they aren't perfect and the only one we have of Kid Kamo is him CRYING. But yeah, GetoHime would for sure get some weird looks from busy bodies making snap judgements.
Fai and Chi are one of my fave brotps across all of fandom and I wish we had more content of them lying around eating popcorn and listening to pop music.
Like, how sweet!!!
hi, idk if you dig this ship (geto and utahime) but if you do, I'm hoping that you might draw them, romantically maybe haha. I hope that's not asking for too much, There's so little fanworks about them 😞
Just for you! I like how Antioedipus writes them so I went for something more agressive hehe
hi! i love everything you've ever written ever - your naruto fic was so moving it made me reread the whole series bc it's been so long and i didn't remember half of the characters and then i realized YOU should've been writing naruto from the jump. i love your characterizations, espescially for for your jujutsu kaisen fics. i don't think there's anyone else who's landed on how sweetly sickening sashisu is ... would you ever write them romantically? or even just suguru and shoko? just wondering!!
Gosh, I have written so many Naruto stories that I judge myself lol. Lovesickness is the most recent one, so I assume that's the one you're referencing? The power I would have if I could turn that specific story into a manga! It's probably my favorite.
Thank you for your sweet compliments about my writing! I've started reading Naruto and am a third of the way into the series (I watched the anime and fell off right before Five Kage Summit), and honestly, I couldn't have written it. I don't have the vision that Kishimoto had. However, I will gladly write fan fics about Naruto, especially the older jounin!
I have written too many Jujutsu Kaisen stories. The people in the GetoHime tag must be sick of me! I hint at past SaShiSu in Fathers and Mothers and Daughters and Sons, in the fourth and fifth chapters. I love writing about SaShiSu as friends, since they were totally the kids who played car accident, but I don't know if I could do a poly story justice. SuguShoko is a ship I have thought about, but idk, I kinda want to just focus on stories set in other fandoms. You have planted a seed though.
Thank you so much for reading my stories and leaving me such a sweet message <3
Whenever I see this tweet, I cry from laughing. An unhinged woman in love is one of my favorite literary tropes. I am clearly lobotomized by patriarchy and feminine resentment. The way that this tweet makes me think about NanaMei and GetoHime (and all the older jonin het ships tbh) lol.
Thirst for Love by Yukio Mishima, Motherthing by Ainslie Hogarth, Winter in Sokcho by Elisa Shua Dusapin, Northwood by Maryse Meijer, Love by Angela Carter all have the same energy as this tweet.
And of course, It Ended Badly: Thirteen of the Worst Breakups in History by Jennifer Wright.
She/Her. Pls don't bully me on the internet. Known as antioedipus on ao3.
