@crulge It’s basically having a councilor that helps you make sense of the grief. Or accept that there is no sense. Usually someone who has experienced great loss themselves offering perspective and tools. Hard to see straight when you’re in that black hole.

I used to think moving to LA would be such a huge change as far as ease of booking shows and having more outlets, turns out it’s WAY harder because everything is inundated with shitty bands, capitalist mindsets, and shady venues.

What an insane Uno reverse. Not only did Mahito fail in killing Yuji's soul, he weaponised Yuji against Cursekind instead; awakening mirrored values/thoughts within him. 😂 Mahito was playing with fire & Sukuna knew it. His smirk speaking volumes.. #JJK #ShadzJK #JujutsuKaisen

First lips show was the yoshimi release (I think release?) I was ten and got really scared by the clips from Battle Royale of the girls in the lighthouse murdering each other and asked my dad to take me home. Race for thé prize with balloons cemented in my mind.

@ShadzMangaOnly From what I understand it has to do with “ablutions” which are prominent in almost every religion but in Buddhism specifically it’s one of the steps to attaining nirvana (I’m not an expert on any of this, all this info is from tweets and translation notes)

I’ve had to double down on my DIY skill set here 1,000x harder than I ever did in OKC. So don’t ever think the big city is easier for arts than your small town. It’s full of vultures and social climbing crooks that want to make money off the backs of hard working artists.
