i’ve spoken before about the intimate nature of gojo and geto’s relationship, but i wanted to point out two times the show explicitly shows it to us.

after riko dies and geto meets him at the star religious group, gojo is surrounded by hundreds of people. every single one literally and figuratively fades away because all he can see is geto.

the shot of geto standing alone is from gojo's pov; he literally does not have eyes for anyone else. this marks the first time we see them have an intensely emotional conversation in a crowd, which is significant because the presence of the crowd makes it all the more apparent that even in a sea of people, they only see each other.

when he offers up his morality to geto and asks him to make the call about whether or not to kill everyone, gojo is saying that he does not give a flying fuck about anyone other than geto. to him, all the people in this room are already dead; he's offering himself up in the most vulnerable way imaginable because it was never about killing all these people— it was about the only person he could see, standing right in front of him.

when geto breaks up with him in front of kfc, they are once again in a crowd, highlighting the sheer intimacy of their conversation. people are passing them by but they can literally only see and hear each other because no one else matters.

this is again from gojo's pov; the people are essentially faceless because all he sees, all he's ever seen, is geto.

in gojo's memory, he doesn't even assign people faces— it is literally only them.

occurring along the same axis, this is an inversion of what happened the last time they had an emotional conversation in a crowd. last time, gojo asked geto whether or not to kill everyone around them, spurred by intense emotion. this time, geto's departure incites gojo to walk the same line, also spurred by intense emotion. both times, geto is the guiding force of gojo's actions; in the first instance, he stops gojo from killing everyone. in the last, he incites it. both times, gojo only sees him— everyone else is already collateral.

this shot is incredibly telling because of two reasons: 1) geto knows gojo is ready to kill him and everyone else without needing to look at him and 2) the crowd moves into the full frame because he's gone. gojo literally and figuratively can't see him anymore; he's lost geto in more ways than one. the crowd fills up the space he left behind but they're still faceless, still a sea of people. it's a vapid, hollow replacement, because it was never about anyone else. it was always about geto.

one of the drawings from my cat zines! this was drawn with a fude nib fountain pen, which I bought earlier this year and have been using a lot. the variation in line width is fun ✨

I'm working on putting together digital versions of my zines and am hoping to have them online sometime soon!

My tip for being a creative type is to always have two projects going at once so you can put off one with the other.

When I don’t feel like working on my short story collection I write a poem for my poetry class. Two things going at once. Get bored of one, procrastinate by working on the other. Brain hacks.

Have one or two things be your main project and messing with and improving your many little side projects be your secondary activity. Keep yourself tethered to your main project but also allow yourself to float around a bit when you need to.

I also find that this method makes it easier to return to projects after a while without guilt. Sometimes an idea needs to rest and marinade for a bit while you work out a slightly different part of your brain. If you accept that floating around is just part of your process then picking stuff back up that’s higher on your priority list than your dozens of smaller ideas becomes easier.

Sometimes the utility of 27 works in progress is allowing yourself an outlet to do something for yourself as well. Some things are meant to be seen by the public and some things are just good for clearing some gunk out of your brain.

For me, writing poetry is the cleaning out gunk just for me activity. For you it might be making bad pottery on purpose or starting a blanket square or coming up with a chiche coffee shop au story that you never plan to finish. Allow yourself some refreshment.
