@unfortunate17 and I were discussing Wille’s anxiety and how we don’t feel like Wille’s reluctance to partake in public speaking was a result of his anxiety, but rather his history of being forced to speak and say things he doesn’t mean and follow a script in order to preserve the reputation of his family and control the public’s perception of him. He was forced to follow a script three times in season 1 - the first when he had to apologize on TV for a fight he was not sorry about, when he had to read a written speech to his classmates regarding his brother who had just died, and when he was forced to lie about the video leading to the destruction of his relationship with Simon.

In my opinion Wille’s fear of public speaking in season 2 is not related to general or social anxiety - as I do not believe Wille has social anxiety at all and is not shy at all despite some people in the fandom tending to believe he is - but rather a fear of being perceived, because that is ultimately Wille’s main struggle in the series - not being with a boy, not being in love with a gay, not being queer, but being perceived by others and feeling forced to live up to a certain standard or expectation when all he wants to do is live his life truthfully and without people having opinions about the things he does.

What’s so powerful and beautifully written about the scenes with Boris is that even though Wille is made to see a therapist by his mother, the Queen, who is the one who persuaded/forced him speak out when he didn’t want to, Wille’s sessions with Boris are the first time he is told he doesn’t have to say anything if  he doesn’t want to, and the confidentiality of their sessions and Boris’ position as an unbiased professional allows him to be more honest with not only himself, but with another person without feeing like he is being judged or forced to feel or believe something he doesn’t.

We see in season 1 episode 4, when Wille goes off script and speaks from the heart about Erik, and in season 2 episode 6 when he once again goes off script, that Wille really has no issues with speaking to a crowd, but only when he feels he’s being truthful and honest and in control of the narrative. His fear of speaking in the class presentation, in my opinion, has a lot to do with how out of control of his own narrative Wille felt throughout season 2 as a result of the lie at the end of season 1 and the events of season 2 - he is perceived by his classmates now as having denied being a part of the video, as if it was something to be ashamed of, he is perceived as being interested in Felice when in reality he’s desperately in love with Simon. He just wants to exist and stay true to himself and it scares him to do it in front of an audience, and that’s what makes it so powerful when we see him slowly begin to accept how he feels about himself and the circumstances of his life through the sessions with Boris, and how that results with him re-taking control of his own narrative at the Jubilee at the end of the season, and that’s just beautiful writing.

Hey JWCC enthusiasts,

How we feelin about a s4 - s5 rewrite where instead of the campers shipwrecking on Mantah Corp Island they get stranded on Isla Sorna?

Of course, this would require all the dinosaurs present on Isla Sorna in JP3 to have stayed on the island instead of being transported to Jurassic World or Mantah Corp Island but THINK OF THE POSSIBILITIES

Imagine the kids surviving on a dinosaur-infested island that's even more hostile and remote than Isla Nublar, putting all their newly acquired skills to the test. The dinosaurs here, having been abandoned for over a decade, might be even more dangerous than the ones the kids are used to, like the creepy Pteranodons in the Aviary

And maybe the dinosaurs have contracted some sort of disease that screws them up like they did in the book hmmm

I have so many notes for this hrgggg might write it into a fanfic if I'm feelin cute

I have just recently become obsessed with Starkid and Hatchetfeild. Favorite show is a tie between TGWDLM and NPMD (yeah, shocker) but I’ve loved pretty much loved all the shows I’ve seen so far. Finally found a playlist of all their shows and I’m working my way through them.

If you also love the shows, I’m looking for someone to talk to with them cuz man I have thoughts 😅

fuuuuuuuuuck just fuck

Kir asking to shoot Camel in the face and Akai's reply just fhsjskskksfj the thoughts that had to fly through his brain at that point and the fact that they gave the line back to Ikeda rather than having it stay as Okiya hits it further home.

Like Akai trust Camel. He thinks Camel has some of the best driving skills. And he also recognizes Camel's guilt for blowing his meeting with Gin and his cover and endangering Akemi. And he's not above using him for it. And here it comes out perfectly.

Here we have Kir who's cover could be blown by Camel being exposed. And he picks Kir who's CIA not FBI over Camel. Even though it's a bet on his part and even though he fully thinks he still can rescue Camel, he picks Kir's safety over Camel.

He has multiple reasons to do so. First Kir is still undercover and he has her partially betraying loyalties and working for him. So part of it is prioritizing any information he can get about the Organization out of her. Another part is she's undercover where he used to be, where he still wishes he could be. He wants his teeth in their flesh and if he can't have it he'll have someone else have it. And to top it all off? Even though he's fine using Camel and trusts Camel and Camel's guilt, he probably still is not happy with him somewhat (bad phrasing but my brain is refusing to feed me the words I want). Camel directly blew his cover, and indirectly killed Akemi. Even if Akai mostly blames himself for Akemi's death the fault in his cover being blown with nothing to show for it is Camel's. He cannot appreciate or like him for that.

So he picks Kir who isn't his own and likely has a slighlty different purpose than Camel who is on his side. He'd sacrifice him before Kir, which I find interesting. Even if he trusts he'll save him in the whatever miniscule percent chance of failure Akai sees in his brain he chooses Kir over him.

Skipping classes with Zandik post awakened something in me, lol. Imagine it, but with flagile!reader (yes I'm delulu so what)

At first reader feels a bit dizzy, but mostly fine and thinks it's because of Sumeru heat. Zandik is annoyed by you being slow, but you're lucky you befriended him, otherwise he'd abandon you in woods

As your condition worsens and he warms toward you, you faint while he fights Ruin Guard that he wanted to take apart and Zandik panics so much!!! He gets you to safety, so-so worried, before that happened you didn't realize how much he cares about you

Fragile!reader skips more and more classes because of your condition, but you don't get to spend your time alone. You tell Zandik to not skip classes, but he says he knows all the stuff they're teaching already. He may even become your personal tutor if you're interested, heh (or maybe he just doesn't want to leave you alone when you're so weak..)

YES YES OMGF EDBEDE IM DISINTEGRATING AHHHHH. Ugh him being cold and annoyed at you and then slowly warming up to you is so <333 PERFECT. It's fascinating to look back on his transformation to you... like the guy who's letting you sit in his lap all cuddly was the same one who threatened or ignored you every minute hundreds of years ago 😭

The fragile reader angst/fluff... you're scared of being a burden to him especially after you made it this far, but the fact he's still here (a bit begrudgingly) makes you a bit relieved that he likes you a little bit at least. But you never thought you'd ever see an expression like that on his face - panic. You don't even know if you were hallucinating it from your tiredness, but it felt so real. So real that even Zandik couldn't fake it even if he wanted to. You don't wake up in the forest but rather in your bed. Then it all escalates when you realize he skipped out on his valuable research time to come back and take care of !!! you !!! And he continues to do so despite your protests!! Checking on your condition and paying more attention to it than you. For some reason seeing you weak and defenseless, a stark contrast from your usual self, makes him feel upset and irritated. You don't know whether your face is warm from being sick or from blushing.

He's genuinely surprised at his reaction too, he didn't think he'd react so strongly, probably thinks he's sick at first too until he finds out he's not. (He finds out later he's in l-l-ov- nevermind, he refuses to admit it)

Tutor Zandik is the kind of guy to use the most drastic analogies when explaining stuff to you- idk how but he uses dead bodies and things along that line 😭 (Oddly it still makes sense... strange)

Jimithon Mouthwashing is such a good representation of untreated, enabled NPD like it makes me want to squeeze the life out of him. I'm endlessly fascinated when watching him interact with his crew, surroundings, and himself because he's so fucking lost in his own sauce. It's insane. If I'm being real, it makes him my favorite character in the game.

It's a little scary to say, but watching Jimmy is like seeing a mirrored version of myself two years ago before I truly committed to treatment for my NPD. He's like a shadow. The opening line "I hope this hurts," which I believe comes from Jimmy right before the crash, is such a poignant statement. It's a simple line, but I can tell you from experience that the desire to hurt others when in a narcissistic rage is overwhelming. It's such a good line to sum up Jimmy's character in that moment. Luckily, in the real world, I had my friends and family there to catch me when I hit my lowest, even though I'd hurt them so many times. Jimmy probably could've used friends to force him into therapy (cough cough Curly cough cough)

maybe it's to maintain a sense of tension & turmoil that would eventually reach an explosive peak, a sense of tug-of-war, a back-and-forth to hammer home the ideals they want to deliver and for the viewers to chew on, but although these arguments regarding hiroshi & his stance as a man torn between his loyalty for his country & the loyalty for his Filipino friends and lover is of course important, how they write these scenes & the points they present from this week alone is getting too repetitive...? literally the argument scenes from last night & tonight between adelina & hiroshi is basically the same; the ideas were the same, the dynamics were the same: the aggressive, radical adelina, bristling rage and fear over the injustices she's seen thus far, and the cautious, inspiriting hiroshi, all hopefulness and reassurance one moment as a lover, defensiveness and sternness as a japanese soldier in another. this debate will be ever-present ofc, it is one of the series' biggest conflicts, but it is unfortunately so easy to tell when it is a.) being pulled up as a main topic to move the plot along / be a necessary conflict for character development/introspection / be the conflict to deliver the morals & messages the writers want to send to their viewers, or b.) when it is being pulled up only for the drama and filler to pass the time. like watching the characters sit down to argue for 10 minutes, do other things for the plot for 2 minutes, then sit down again to argue for the next 20 minutes. lol.
