SOMEONE TELL ME WHY THE INUMAK.I X READER TAG HAS MORE FOLLOWERS THAN THE INUMA.KI TOG.E TAG ITSELF 😭😭
im really bored it's like 7am so i went to read some smaus (the ones where theyre texting) for fun and im so confused why do all of them depict him as like... savage and talkative.... in my head he has always been my soft and quiet wise guy... every one of them fics is a he would not say that moment for me and i need to know if i am the one who needs to rewatch jjk0 and brush up on my knowledge of him or if he would actually not say "duuuuuuuuuuude" in text
😂😂 idk like....my fave fic he's a bit of a snarky little shit, but it's not excessive?? I feel like a lot of smaus mischaracterize everyone tbh, and yeah, every one I've seen goes very far in that direction for inumaki. which 🤷🏽♀️ it can be funny so i can suspend my disbelief for like 5 minutes but yeah no he would not say that lol
I'm also not a fan of the "x reader" genre in general though. Not really for me, the characters always feel weird to me in those fics and drabbles.
I think there's a few directions you could go with his character for sure, he definitely likes to fuck around with Panda and play pranks, he's not really quiet he actually communicates a lot for someone who can't actually say words most of the time. He's also shown to be caring and thoughtful and observant. He's confident, he's protective. I dunno I feel like I can see so many interpretations of his "voice" in writing available since he doesn't have a distinct written voice in canon.
However he *does* have characterization, and that can still absolutely be off and pretty much always is in smaus on tumblr, imo.
Idk, @mana-jjk what do you think?
(P.S. this is my fave inuokko fic. There's a lot of texting in this and I really like his voice in this fic + the way he interacts with Maki and Panda esp.
If you wanna skip ahead to a toge texting scene the first one is here, it doesn't spoil a whole lot so it's good if you wanna get a taste...... just for shits and gigs here's the next two if you wanna read a whole fic out of context for some reason lol. But the fic is really really good and if you think you'll like it, you should def read it.)
THIS IS EXACTLY WHY I ASKED YOU I KNEW YOU'D HAVE THE BEST INSIGHT + THIS IS SO MUCH MORE THAN I EVER COULD HAVE EXPECTED!!!!
Currently overwriting Toge's texting voice in my head with yours, standby...........■■■■■■■■ 100%
But seriously, I think you hit the nail on the head. He's not less communicative because he doesn't use normal words. He's very expressive, he speaks up often, even around people who won't understand him, and he's really intentional with communicating in non-traditional ways (ex. on the mission with yuuta in 0).
But I also love that you made it so he communicates similarly in text as he does out loud. That's really a stroke of genius to me! Because he's developed this style of communication and has been practicing it for so long (since he was a child, I assume? I don't know his whole background), that it makes sense that it would become a more natural and inherent way for him to talk than to pick up a completely different communication style.
(this got me curious on how Deaf people text & if there's different styles out there based on alternate communication styles. I found some stuff googling but not a whole lot. sounds like the answer is sometimes + fuck Alexander Graham Bell!)
😭~*i love the little text convos they're so good*~😭
God you're making me want to read a proper group chat fic, I used to love those back in the day...or try my hand at my own toge texting fic??? idkidk you're inspiring me!
(Edit: the three of us in the notes rn ☺️)
Yuta when he put 2 and 2 together and realised Gojo and Geto used to be tight as fuck, played red light green light, had sex and everything, back in the days
JJK and the boops:
- Maki boops Nobara and Yuuta once. Then she boops Nobara a few more times and calls it a day.
- Nobara boops Maki a few times until Maki grabs her so she stops. She boops Megumi a few times to annoy him. She boops Yuuta, Yuuji and Panda once. She wanted to boop Yuuji more than once but
- Toge boops Nobara 50 times in a row. War ensues.
- Panda boops everyone once and calls it a day.
- Yuuji boops Megumi and Nobara periodically throughout the day.
- Megumi gets rid of the boop o meter. He's no fun.
- Yuuta boops everyone at least ten times. Not in a row, he's nice. Asked Megumi why he turned the boop o meter off. Megumi turns it back on so Yuuta can boop him ten times in a row. Turns it back off right after.
- Toge spams everyone with boops to get the achievements. He wins the war against Nobara. Every time he boops Gojo and Yuuta, they boop him back.
- Gojo boops everyone 100 times in a row then calls it a day.
- Toge boops Yuuta 150 times in a row. Yuuta boops Toge 300 times in a row. They boop each other until the boop o meter ends or breaks.
- The others just stare at them.

ok but why did i start planning a chat fic last night and accidentally invented an entire parallel canon universe with stsg fix it elements???? I haven't even read far enough in canon to know this much about jujutsu society yet here i am. reforming it.
trying desperately to remember my daydreaming-to-fall-asleep dialogues i made up last night cause they were peak but i can't quite recreate them 😭
So I think it turns out I've been writing the prequel? to the chat fic? the silly chat fic I haven't written yet. some highlights from my notes:
Trying to figure out the world building:
- lmao what if it's more like mob psycho 100?
- so how many of these reforms were in place before and how many are because of what happened to geto? what did happen to geto?
- WHAT WOULD CHANGE FOR JUNPEI?????????????
- also, they're wrong about the race science and bloodline shit. you can learn techniques and the idea that you can't is a big fucking lie. I mean, Yuuta did it. "that's his technique" oh yeah, where'd he learn that, huh??
- who is doing research? there are a couple universities with jujutsu studies departments, but it's treated in larger society as a science that isn't fully understood or accepted yet. i can't think of an equivalent ... general public doesn't really know about it, doesn't understand it, or doesn't believe in it. Like queer studies, then, maybe??? something like that*
(*oops I kinda turned all of Jujutsu society into a queer allegory??? my baaaadd)
Trying to figure out what happened to Geto:
- the star plasma incident happened. geto had his lil breakdown (did a bunch of murders????)
- gojo uses yuuta as bait maybe? lmao jfc he would though.
- why did gojo even kill geto? because they wanted to stop him and so gojo had to kill him....??? why the fuck would he do that????
- is shoko going to basically do treason?
- geto is imprisoned - his family is not gonna take well to that...
- torture dungeon mind games?
- (shoko is the key!)
- geto is like fucking kill me idc
- *lots of eye contact fuckery
- the moment in the manga where geto says yuuta hadn't learned to USE rika and he turned and sacrificed himself to her is VERY IMPORTANT! it's the look on geto's face
- GOJO HAS NOT TAKEN HIS EYES OFF GETO
- geto is Not Doing Well. very much weak and wheezing
- monkeys brainrot
Shoko goes on a RANT and tears into these two fuckers:
- "both of you are being self centered. you only think about saving him, and you only think about saving yourself."
- "all this power and what would you do with it? kill everyone you could? you haven't done it in ten years, and you were plenty strong before."
- "you left and you pushed him away. and me, by the way."
- "you don't actually like to be alone, do you? or else why surround yourself with people you clearly think are below you?"
- "get over your high school angst and join the rest of us in reality"

what stsg fic did u read? hahah! you should watch it, tho! theyre really fun
Falling in love is easy. Admitting it is not. by Waiting_for_a_sunny_day on ao3 (@ellionwrites on here)!!!!
Here's the link:
but I really recommend going over to @ellionwrites blog and reading the pinned post if you're not ready to link hop right away.
It was an absolutely fantastic experience to read, so much fun, and so so beautiful, plus really good smut. You'll laugh, you'll cry, you'll uncover a deeper understanding for these two characters and how they interact with the world and each other that will send your mind racing, and maybe you'll discover new things about yourself. I did!
RE: you should watch it, tho [jjk 0 + hidden inventory/premature death again]
I knoowww I willll, especially bc I need to reference the source material for my insane headcanon alternate universe whatever-the-fuck I'm working on in the middle of the nights rn (that was probably inspired by reading this fic honestly).......
but it's so saaaaad 😭😭😭 why do they have to be so saaaaddd?????
