MC: I'd tell him to rest more often.

Zayne: It would be better if you told him to keep it up.

god. GOD. people who theorize that sorahiko is nana's husband/kotarou's father... you have some rights. like it's not even just the look (hairstyle), it's also his whole DEAL. it's sorahiko's deal.

like I can see sorahiko saying this to toshinori after nana's death. do you really want to know what heroes are? do you, aspiring pillar of society, symbol of peace, understand what happens when you choose to wear a title instead of a name? you, stranger. you, lost child. you, my student and my sworn friend's successor, the only son I'll see grow up.

kotarou as a father who harms his son. sorahiko as a teacher who harms his student. nana in the limbo, the mother who left her son and the woman who told sorahiko to leave her behind.

sorahiko didn't even want to be a hero in the first place.

I will never stop believing that Kiriwo is just extremely messed up from childhood neglect and was raised by the wrong people like don't you dare tell me he was born just as bad as he is now

Honestly this is a little projection but he gives off serious behavioural disorder turned personality disorder vibes, or at least some heavy traits of them.

He needs some serious psychiatric intervention and I'll take on that role any time. I'll tell him all about attachment styles and C/DBT techniques and inner child neglect and all of that shit. I'll fix him or I'll die trying

Also this post

I'm not defending any of the bad things he's done at all. But this is a classic example of a "servant of evil" character who had their innocence or trauma warped into something worse by a bigger bad, and I'm just a little too knowledgeable regarding this section of psychology. It's a known fact that detachment from the source that gave you your disordered traits and extinction burst are ways to heal said traits. I just want to see him happy, genuinely happy.

Boggart

Because at 14, everything feels so long and permanent. Especially when the future is uncertain.

Honestly this was inspired by this post asking about your MC's boggart. I always figure that my MC's would fall into a more similar vein like Hermione where her boggart represents more of a symbol/idea.

When read up on reddit on Hermione's boggart was Professor McGonagall, someone pointed out saying that it's more of a symbolic thing when you look into it under a deeper light. With Professor McGonagall saying she failed all her classes, Hermione could get expelled from Hogwarts and get her wand snap. Essentially denying her from the wizarding world.

Since Hermione -a muggleborn witch- wants to belong in the wizarding world (when the muggle world rejected her), she is trying to prove that she deserve to belong in the wizarding world through her grades and by being at the top of her class. Hermione failing her classes could risk her getting kicked out and getting her wand snap. The McGonagall boggart failing her is symbolic of her true fear - belonging no where.

While Hermione a girl trying to belong somewhere and doesn't want to be kicked out, Iñaki is a girl who's afraid that she'll never go back home.

What's a more permanent way of saying you aren't returning to your home country by getting a passport (symbolizing that you got naturalized) of your adopted country? More about Iñaki "MC" Martinez Cariaga

Hey do you think Jamil has trouble seeing people his age as peers?

Like, growing up having to be a caretaker to a guy literally a few months older than him, always expected to act like the adult in the situation, expected to work with adults and adopt their perspectives and pick up their slack. Do you think he just, forgets sometimes?

I mean we've seen him go into caretaker mode with other sophomores, and the only people I've seen him take seriously are juniors like Vil who also act much older than they should have to (his reactions to Leona look more like a trauma response and I don't wanna get into it here). People like Malleus and Cater still somewhat get the caretaker treatment. Like I just highly doubt that he subconsciously realizes he's actually part of his age group

Aaand that inevitably brings up Azul, who also acts like he thinks he's older than he is. Whether you're looking at it from a shipping angle or not, he reacts to Azul like an actual peer. With older students, he seems more in his element but there's still a status hierarchy which he compulsively reacts to. With Azul he doesn't acknowledge any status worth respecting or see him as someone who needs to be looked after. He just bickers like an equal, in a way that implies he actually does see Azul as a real peer, like subconsciously he's categorized this guy into the same group as himself, who was previously alone on that level (he gets like this more with the twins too, over time, but it seems to start with Azul).

And my favorite part about this is, while that response stems from them both acting more like adults in general, they elicit a pettiness from each other which drags them both down to actually acting their own age, and I just love that. Their characters are perfect foils for each other and it seems to make them both less isolated in a way.
