Blue Exorcist 10th anniversary book Q&A session
The 10th anniversary book has a section where Katoh answers 100 questions submitted by fans on Twitter, so here they are translated/paraphrased! May contain manga spoilers up to the recent flashback arc, so be warned.
(Note that I’m playing it very fast and loose here because there are A HUNDRED OF THEM, so not exact wordings, but it should capture the gist. Lemme know if there are any you want elaborated on)

Wrote up an explanation on why I'd been ruminating on Yukio having AVPD a while back and realized I never posted it (or the OCPD one I wrote up some time after), so here we are!
For starters, his self-isolating behaviour and preoccupation with feelings of inferiority were one of the things that kinda had me looking at him through an avoidant lens. According to the DSM, patients must have "a persistent pattern of avoiding social contact, feeling inadequate, and being hypersensitive to criticism and rejection".
Reviewing the criteria (of which a mininum of 4 points is needed), I think Yukio's symptoms would revolve around the following 5:
Unwillingness to get involved with people unless they are sure of being liked
Reserved in close relationships because they fear ridicule or humiliation
Preoccupation with being criticized or rejected in social situations,
Inhibition in new social situations because they feel inadequate,
Self-assessment as socially incompetent, unappealing, or inferior to others,
Yukio does a lot to avoid being seen as weak, and doesn't have many - if any - close relationships. Rin is probably the closest to a peson he's ever been and even then, there is so much that he has to hide that their level of closeness with each other is very uneven. Rin defintiely thinks they're closer than they are.
Self-isolation is also a common tactic, especially when under stress. This tactic can backfire though because it sort of proves their feelings, especially if other people don't notice or question the isolation. However, like with Yukio, pointing out the isolation can backfire because as much as they may want to be seen, being seen means that people know they're worthless and that's not good either.
People with AVPD often feel they cannot rely on other people, or that their problems - no matter how painful they may be personally - are not enough to consider reaching out to someone over. Not to mention reaching out for help would only reinforce the preexisting feelings of worthlessness. For that, they will often avoid treatement, and, like with many PDs, are typically diagnosed when seeking help with other issues (like depression). Yukio's reluctance to seek help - even when encouraged by Renzou or others - is a good proponent of this. People can't know that he's struggling because if they do, they'll know he's weak and that is a sentence worse than death.
They may long for social connections, but struggle with being able to offer themselves up to other people. While some may choose to deal with this struggle by avoiding contact with people altogether, others, like Yukio, may present a competent and aloof persona. They don't need help, they are the helper.
This is kind of what I mean by non-stereotypical/atypical presentations. I think when you first consider AVPD, you think of someone who is overly social anxious and extremely timid, in the same way that people may think someone with ASPD must secretly be a serial killer or whatever. But people are complex and no presentation is ever gonna be the same (hence the proposed used of the AMPD/the ICD-11 doing away with labels altogether).
For example, with Leo (PJO character I also headcanon to have AVPD), he purposely presents himself in a way that causes rejection because if it's going to happen anyway, he might as well be in control of it by being as annoying as possible. At least that way he's not rejected for who he really is.
With Yukio, he's not timid anymore. He's cool and collected. He projects maturity and strength and gets unfurled whenever someone points out or comes close to discovering that he's not. Internally, he is a mess, but externally he is calm and he is capable. He doesn't think of himself as being superior and I don't necessarily think he wants people to think of him like that. But I think he's easily envious of others, especially when it comes to areas he thinks himself low in, and so doubles down on avoidance by ensuring there's always enough space between him and other people. Someone pointing out that space just leads him to feeling worse and doubling down on the space even more.
I think the other end of it is that Yukio is likely more helpful, or willing to offer help, than is healthy for him. Part of it is to prove that he's not useless and part of it is to gain a sense of socialization without offering too much of himself. I think about his relationship with Shiemi. They both clearly think of themselves as friends, but, like with Rin, Shiemi probably thinks (or at least thought prior to the whole child of Satan reveal) that she's much closer to Yukio than they ever were. Yukio, however, is aware of this distance and probably more comfortable with it than he'd like to be. But there's a lot of reasons for him not to be open with her, so it's fine, probably, he's not gonna think about it too much. Still he's willing to help her study because it makes him feel useful and gives him a reason to hang out with her.
Honestly, Rin's quick rapport with her likely furthered his feelings of inadequacy, especially in comparison to Rin.
Oh, yeah - with Yukio, he's not unaware of the fact that he does excel in a lot of areas, but it's never enough. That's also a common theme I've seen being discussed by people with AVPD. It doesn't matter how much they do or how well they do, they will never be enough. Not necessarily in comparison to anyone else, but just in general. They could solve world hunger and achieve world peace and it still wouldn't be enough.
Yukio, I think, likely experiences that a lot. He knows he's smart, but it's not enough. He knows he's good at his job, but it's not enough. He knows he's strong, he's knows he's a good fighter, but it's not enough and it will never be enough to make him feel like he deserves a place in his own life, much less in the lives of others.
ANE Character Guidebook - Chapter One - The Students
What’s this? An attempt to organize the character guidebook translations I’ve done before? I’m shocked too. Now, with extra content not previously translated before! Here are the first 15 files in the guidebook at last in a single post! This contains information on most of the Exwires and their families. I might add some pictures at a later point.

Black Butler is something that happens to you when you are thirteen and then haunts you forever
i appreciate the content warnings and understand their importance but i can’t help but giggle a little bit when i click on a fnaf fic and half the chapters have child death warnings in their notes. sir this is the Child Death Game i think i know what i’m signing up for
*entering the child death and murder fandom* why the fuck is this place so full of child murder
are you in the right headspace to receive information that can possibly hurt you right now.
w. what the fuck is the incest fandom
ohmygodtheymeantgameofthrones
now are you in the right headspace to receive information that can possibly hurt you right now.
A piece of the violin mended itself
noticed my coworker was on tumblr so i told them “i like your shoelaces” and they said “never say that out loud to me”
Edward Elric is a great character (like everyone in FMA but this post is about Ed) not just because he suffers and struggles and goes through so much pain before the end of his story. But because this little dude feels so human!!!
He has a short temper. He sucks at drawing. He hates milk. He’s loved science since he was little. He really likes making gaudy as fuck weapon designs because he thinks they’re cool. He wears three layers of clothing in the fucking desert because he refuses to ditch the badass red coat. He loves his little brother more than life itself and is willing to die for him at a moment’s notice. He lashes out because he’s 15 and doesn’t know how else to handle all the things he’s Feeling. He’s a teenager who’s had the responsibilities of an adult forced on him since his mother died and hasn’t let himself be a kid since then. He loves dogs. He bonds with a little girl because she wants to play with him.
He’s a person. He feels like one. He’s so easy to sympathize with because he’s so much more than just his suffering. You see all his little character traits, and you see a whole person there!! He’s a kid!! He acts like a real kid who’s in way over his head and doesn’t realize it. He’s doing his best. Someone hug this poor dumbass.
i think this may just be the greatest string of tweets in the history of mankind
TO BE COMPLETELY HONEST I REMEMBER EVERYTHING BUT READING THESE TWEETS AGAIN AFTER SO MANY MONTHS IT ALMOST FEELS SURREAL LIKE “I CANT BELIEVE THIS PERSON IS ME”
happy 9th anniversary to your dildo fiasco chris grawly!
i’m crying
I CHECKED TO SEE IF THERE WAS A UPDATE AND I WAS NOT DISAPPOINTED!!!
the japanese “-ne?” particle and the british slang term “innit” serve the same function
Standard English: It’s cold, isn’t it?
Japanese: Samui desu ne?
British: It’s fuckin’ freezin’, innit?
i have to do everything around here
i hate this cause i did japanese for like a year and this explains the use of the -ne particle WAYYYY better than my teachers ever did. it took me ages to comprehend what this post makes abundantly clear.
my teachers: its like a, a little rise at the end of a sentence, to show that you are seeking a response, while not warranting the -ka particle which would make it a proper question.
me: ok. i guess i get that??
this post: its like saying “innit?”
me: oh. oh no.

oh my fucking god
this hit me right in the solar plexus
Wait, there’s physical copies of Fallout Equestria? That’d have to be massive.
The first run was five hardbacks of progressively increasing girth. The stack is hefty, but the books are comfortable. Each chapter has chapter art too, which I consider a plus in all fantasy books.
Later runs were single-book softcover monstrosities. I think I saw another five-volume hardback run recently, but I’m not deeply involved in the fandom anymore.
The second print run was two volumes, hardback, with jackets. Dunno about any subsequent runs.
I still think the 5-volume split was the best option. It’s a big damn story.
(For anyone who hasn’t read it: yes, that’s a functional replica of the main character’s go-to weapon. No, I didn’t customize it like that; I bought it from the person who did.)
anon PLEASE tell me your teacher is the author of this
Ok, I Kind of hate that I know this, but I’m pretty sure that anon’s teacher did NOT write the books the others are showing off. He wrote the darker, edgier and somehow even longer fanfic OF that fanfic called Project Horizons.
Original Fallout Equestria was written by someone known as Kkat who I’m 90% sure is a woman and the story only has some PG-13ish scenes at worst (you know, aside from the violence and gore that comes with a Fallout setting.) Project Horizons was written by a guy known as Somber, who I remember him mentioning in the post-chapter notes that he got fired for failing the wrong student once and the fic itself includes multiple explicit sex scenes.
it’s important to me u know what the 3rd printing looks like. please note the gilded pages
one of tumblr’s secret trump cards is its ability to deliver absolutely OBLITERATING gut punches like this post without any context or warning whatsoever
Nick and Judy from zootopia technically don't have an interspecies relationship because by the end of the movie, they're both pigs
One day there’s going to be a tumblr update so catastrophically bad that all of our accounts will disappear out of thin air like the Third Impact is happening
