Best Jeanist..? (≧▽≦)

Best Jeanist

[godlessflea]

Could you explain why you think Jeanist is a narcissist? Do you mean the personality disorder?

Well

Sorry for the late reply. I don’t check this often.

And exams suck.

Now, about this specific character. I don’t think he actually has that diagnosis. Its just uuuh in my head his personality has taken on some narcissistic traits, so I’d lean toward calling it "narcissistic personality adaptation" (have no idea if that term exists outside my country but whatever). In the context of personality adaptations, narcissism can manifest in a milder form, not quite reaching full-blown personality disorder levels. It’s more like a (relatively) adaptive way to cope with inner conflicts and maintain a sense of superiority. Basically, it’s a psychological mechanism to preserve self-image, not a full-on disorder.

So no, not exactly. I’m not talking about the actual diagnosis or its criteria, but rather certain traits I’ve noticed since my first read of the manga:

1. Self-idealization and status obsession

Come on, just look at his hero name and catchphrases!

2. Craving attention

Dude literally acts like a theater performer in public, rolls around in a flashy sports car, and holds two high-pressure, psychologically taxing positions. Why else would he put up with the entertainment industry’s downsides if he wasn’t getting something out of it, right? He could’ve just lived quietly without all the fame u know.

3. Lack of empathy

Seriously, have you seen him?

A teenager (!) with obvious anger and self-esteem issues comes to him, and the first thing he says is, "I don’t like you." The villain claims heroes are liars and that someone above BJ is a predator and BJ just… moves on like it’s nothing? just like everyone else around him.

4. Fragile self-esteem (debatable, but that’s my take)

People with narcissistic traits often struggle with shame, and a couple of times in the manga, I noticed lines from him about that feeling.

And he hides his face. Why?

5*. Difficulty handling criticism (also questionable)

This ties into point 4 and partly point 3, so there you go.

That’s the short version.

And

I can totally write a long, rambling post with my thoughts on this character if you want aaaand I promise it won’t take so much time lol.

*Also! I’m not an expert, and I’m not claiming my take is 100% correct!*

I just turned my attention to Edgeshot and Best Jeanist and I got the feeling that one of them has hero syndrome and the other is a narcissist. What do you think about this theory?

I generally agree with you, I have held the same opinion since the time when I was in the fandom and saw them for the first time

[godlessflea]

Can someone explain me HOW Edgeshot's quirk actually works? I understand that he can flatten his body. I'm pretty sure he doesn't get sick (germs and bacteria can't survive these pressure and temperature changes, right?).

But HOW did he manage to do the "Substitution Jutsu"?

And what does he fly on?

Is this a Jeanist's quirk? It seems to me that no. And if this isn't a Tsunagu's quirk, then what the hell it is? Where did he get this rag from?

Again, WHAT is this jutsu?

What's going on with this guy anyway?

I talk to many people who say things like "oh I have trauma but I don't have PTSD", but then when I talk to them a little more I realize that they most likely do, they just can't recognize it as such due to how lacking PTSD awareness is, even beyond the whole "it's not just a veteran's disorder" thing.

The main reason they think they don't have PTSD usually has to do with flashbacks and nightmares, either they have one but not the other or have neither. But here's the thing, those are only two symptoms out of the 23-odd recognized symptoms. Flashbacks and nightmares are two of the five symptoms under Criterion B (Intrusion), which you only need one of for a diagnosis. The other three symptoms are unwanted upsetting memories, emotional distress after being reminded of trauma and physical reactivity after being reminded of trauma (i.e. shaking, sweating, heart racing, feeling sick, nauseous or faint, etc). Therefore you can have both flashbacks and nightmares, one but not the other, or neither and still have PTSD.

In fact, a lot of the reasons people give me for why they don't think they have PTSD are literally a part of the diagnostic criteria.

"Oh, I can barely remember most parts of my trauma anyway." Criterion D (Negative Alterations in Cognition and Mood) includes inability to recall key features of the trauma.

"Oh but I don't get upset about my trauma that often because I avoid thinking of it or being around things that remind me of it most of the time." Criterion C (Avoidance) includes avoiding trauma-related thoughts or feelings and avoiding trauma-related external reminders, and you literally cannot get diagnosed if you don't have at least one of those two symptoms.

"Oh I just have trouble getting to sleep or staying asleep, but I don't have nightmares." Criterion E (Alterations in Arousal and Reactivity) includes difficulting sleeping outside of nightmares.

"But I didn't have many/any trauma symptoms until a long time after the trauma happened." There's literally an entire specification for that.

Really it just shows how despite being one of the most well-known mental illnesses, people really don't know much about PTSD. If you have trauma, I ask you to at least look at the criteria before you decide you don't have PTSD. Hell, even if you don't have trauma, look at the criteria anyway because there are so many symptoms in there that just are not talked about.

PTSD awareness is not just about flashbacks and nightmares.

RCW 86: Historical Supernova Remnant : In 185 AD, Chinese astronomers recorded the appearance of a new star in the Nanmen asterism. That part of the sky is identified with Alpha and Beta Centauri on modern star charts. The new star was visible for months and is thought to be the earliest recorded supernova. This deep image shows emission nebula RCW 86, understood to be the remnant of that stellar explosion. The narrowband data trace gas ionized by the still expanding shock wave. Space-based images indicate an abundance of the element iron and lack of a neutron star or pulsar in the remnant, suggesting that the original supernova was Type Ia. Unlike the core collapse supernova explosion of a massive star, a Type Ia supernova is a thermonuclear detonation on a a white dwarf star that accretes material from a companion in a binary star system. Near the plane of our Milky Way galaxy and larger than a full moon on the sky this supernova remnant is too faint to be seen by eye though. RCW 86 is some 8,000 light-years distant and around 100 light-years across. via NASA

BOJACK HORSEMAN S04E09 - "Ruthie"

[godlessflea]

Oh-well I'm crying again this is such a beautiful story

[godlessflea]

Ep.51 - I do what I can

[godlessflea]

Izuku and Hitoshi while walking with Kamihara

-Hey...

-What?

-I'm not sure - uh... Do you really think... this hoodie was a good Heroes Day gift for him?

-Hell yes (☆ω☆)

-. . .

-He deserved it

-... I'm... still not sure (￣～￣;)

[godlessflea]

I just realized that this WAS a dialogue between these two.

That is, both Hawk and Mirko are familiar with the Edgeshot... and they both annoy him.

Is Shinya a passive-aggressive disgruntled bun?

Interesting observation, I'll keep you posted ahah

(ok so far this matches my headcanons so... hehe it's a canon now)

P.S: From now on, Shinya is a grumpy old man for me who gets angry when he is called cute.

[godlessflea]

They all need some rest.

Even though he's a little... pedantic?... and obsessed with maintaining-a-beautiful-picture that-has-no-relation-to-reality, I feel sorry for him.

Just like all other pro-heroes.

Give the poor adults a break.

[godlessflea]

I officially add here the death of a random teenager, the almost death of heroes and other children, and the stupid death of a close friend

Here we go again.

I can't believe that Bakugo stans trying to point out that Bakugo complaining about helping civilian is detrimental to his growth of his character.

I never had a problem with bkg stans until Hori starting making Bakugo into a "better" character. I will state later how I believe Bakugo could have been better.

I can't believe that I have to say but did they even read the manga correctly? Can't believe I had to swoop so low. I know, you can feel disappointed in me.

Anyways even if Bakugo learned to finally show an ounce of respect to Izuku by not trying to attack him without reason, yelling and being aggressive for no apparent reason is huge of his character. I seen many people point out how Bakugo still acts like a POS after Izuku comes back to U.A and I'm so glad people are pointing it out. I seen arguments such as people don't dramatically change because old habits die hard, which is a positive way to look at his behavior.

But I don't like Bakugo and I feel he doesn't deserve that courtesy for one reason. Horikoshi never makes Bakugo regret letting his temper lose and reflect on his actions like when he yells at people. His stans always claim that Bakugo changed because you know he "apologized" to Izuku or something every minor action he did they say is subtly displayed in the manga. I'm like where is it consistently shown.

So, I shall state how Bakugo could have been a more likable character. Ok so everyone knows that Bakugo's pride is so fragile it can be hurt by someone trying to help him. But at the very least, Hori could show the readers that he does regret yelling at someone and wants to apologize to them but deep down, but his ego is just in the way. I want to him struggle with the fact he's an asshole. I want him to say, "what hell am I doing? All Might isn't this kinda of person." Or something like that.

But you know since Hori never calls him out, unless it's those one or two instances where Background characters make a remark about Bakugo's behavior. But it doesn't matter since they are literally Background characters and their words wouldn't matter anyway.

But you know how I had written how Bakugo'd character could have been developed, that's literally how these Bkg stans must think Bakugo is like in canon. There's no other way. And it's so frustrating because it isn't true and Dekucchan is going around spreading false rumors on this. I can't believe these people.

All of this 100%. A round of applause. I have nothing to add here. Literally what you’ve suggested would’ve made Katsuki 10x more likable and relatable. An inner monologue or two would’ve done wonders for his character. Izuku gets some. Ochako gets some. All Might gets some. Shoto gets some. There’s no reason Katsuki couldn’t have some.

[godlessflea]

"Bakugo is a good person in deep down"

Hell no. I do not believe in "deep down".

You can look at the character from Bojack Horseman. He has more reason to act the way he does, but that doesn't change the fact that he's a terrible person.

You don't even have to watch the entire series. Just search sad passages on YouTube and you will understand why bakugo and all this farce makes me angry

[godlessflea]

These two deserve more

[godlessflea]

So many questions and so few answers

what is going on around here?

Bakugo becomes Best Jeanist's puppet forever?

uh... bubble? where?? when? how?

How does he navigate the teen's body?

How did he even manage to learn this technique without dying in the process?

wake... up? H-how?

Mirko beautiful as usual.

Tsunagu's neck is getting longer as usual.

I'm so glad she still wants to scratch her fists on someone's ass despite her injuries.

I love her)

Last nerve cell in Tsunagu's brain must be like
