#hyperfix beating my ass with a chancla

[br4inzz]

From the short time i’ve been in the ii fandom i’ve noticed that a lot of ppl stereotype paper as a weak helpless little twink but i don’t think he’s that at all!!!! I mean he has proven to be not only physically capable, (he’s lifted OJ over his head and tossed him into a lake, held an entire boat, held onto a soaking wet metal pole, RIPPED PICKLE IN HALF 😭 which yes ik 2/4 were done by evil paper but it is still his body so that means he IS capable of doing these actions)

but also emotionally strong!! His entire character arc consists of battling with his trauma induced mental illness due to being locked away for months which he ends up “conquering” on his own.

I say that he did this on his own because the contestants (and mephone) did not care about paper’s issue besides when they were threatened to be hurt by him. Some characters (apple, bow) even going so far to trigger paper on purpose because they found it entertaining. OJ was pretty much the only exception to this, he showed paper that he would be willing to be support for him with their alliance but then it grew into more than just that. He began to actually worry for paper’s well-being.

ANYWAY, personality wise, paper is not a pathetic spineless baby either. He has shown to talk back to other contestants when he’s feeling wronged or just feeling like being rude (LOL). A great example of this is when bow and paper are the last two being up for rejoining the game:

What he IS though is a friendly guy who’s expressive with his feelings and takes responsibility for his actions. However paper has gained more aggressive behavior due to the treatment he endured on the show by other characters. He is not soft spoken or afraid to speak his mind. Although he can be seen as anxious at times it’s mainly caused by his ptsd (which is a totally reasonable reaction). I’d even go so far to suggest him as bold yet oblivious like he doesn’t think about what he does until after he has done them. It’s like paper’s mouth just runs faster than his mind at times.

Example, paper drinking the orange juice box in front of OJ while he’s sick from the lack of juice in his glass:

He ends up apologizing for this by allowing OJ to win the safety in their next challenge which shows his compassion for others, although he is still kinda self centered (lol) but not out of a place of malice. Overall, he seems like he’s just a soft character (which he kinda is) but people neglect to mention how strong he really is!!!!
