NAYRT
I think that the age gap in this particular pairing is not so off putting because of the dynamic between the two. Megumi externally seems like the more mature one, while Gojo is a little shit most of the time, so you can really forget that he's supposed to be the responsible adult in the couple.

Just a question because I'm curious and I don't see the pairing myself (I can see the appeal), but I know it's huge: what do you personally like about the ship? Do you usually like pairings like this (age gap, mentor/students etc) or is it an exception?

Hmmm I think what I like about this ship is, among others, kinda based on what you already wrote - the way that despite the age gap, their whole dynamic is actually the reverse of what would usually be expected from the age gap and mentor/student situation.
I have shipped mentor/student ships before but I wouldn't say it's something I actively seek out or would consider a particular "kink".
I think I often like the "one is a little shit and the other is a stoic iceberg who pretends to be annoyed but is actually fond of the other" shipping dynamic though.

That and I think their general backstory is kinda interesting and I do enjoy fic in which the whole "they are kinda family, whoops, no this is turning into something different" conflict is present. Plus you have the whole "Megumi is kinda destined to grow up to be the only person who could measure up to Gojo's OPness" thing which I find... weirdly romantic? Idk, Gojo, for all his happy-go-lucky attitude has the "it's lonely at the top" trope down to a t and the thought of him actually hoping for someone else to be on his level is right up my alley, platonically or romantically.

Thanks for the answer! :D
I hadn't considered the whole "Megumi is kinda destined to grow up to be the only person who could measure up to Gojo's OPness" angle and yeah, it's pretty interesting and romantic!
The it's lonely at the top trope is part of the appeal of Sukuna/Megumi for some people, but it makes ever more sense with Gojo.

Gojo even says this to him (chapter 117 iirc)- something about the last time there were both a limitless/six eyes user and a ten shadows user at the same time, they ended up killing each other - as a way to imply "you are stronger than you think" I believe.
And yeah, while I don't personally ship it, I can totally get Sukuna/Megumi as well based on that. They also have some really cool doujinshi haha

OH YEAH I remember that thing! Man, a love story maybe bound to end tragically. Beautiful! Hope you have the best of time with this ship.

Sukuna/Megumi have the best doujinshi in jjk IMHO. I don't ship them because... I don't. In the past that ship'd be up in my alley, but somehow it didn't really click with me. I just really really envy all their beautiful angsty doujinshi.

Thank you so much! Hope you have fun in the fandom as well, whatever you ship!
Yeah, not gonna lie, the doujinshi for that ship make me crazy envious lol
