@busandaebutt replied to your post: Even with episode 11, I still am not a fan of JJ’s...
same though, it maybe actually because her personality is quite inconsistent? she seemed pretty douchey in last ep and rather than “supportive fiance” she still seemed just like fan cheering for her fave,even when there was a flashback when JJ n her got engaged she talked about his achievement so…yea, idk honestly, i got mixed feelings about her, i still dont like the fact that she seems so dependant JJ and cant stand up for herself (refering to her beed w Yurio)
Yep, probably. The things I pointed out in ep 10 are still valid (mostly, as you said, her picking up on Yuri and his fangirls and then asking JJ to help her and putting this hurt expression on her face when he was just defending himself. Sounds like a cliché for a gf, and some girls actually do this and need to stop).
I will still hand it to her though, that she kept cheering on him and looked really invested into what happened, so yeah.
I still have this “fan” feeling from her, and it’s right that in his flashback she brought the “you’ll gain all the titles” which apparently didn’t help in his anxiety attack. They were getting engaged, which is I guess an intimate moment, and she talked about his career (Viktuuri only evoked the next skate, the one that is a metaphor of their relationship). I guess that the engagement, plus the fact that it was public (all his family was here too), and her’s and his family’s pressure on him “winning all the titles” were major triggers of his anxiety. Now I’m not saying that she’s responsible for it, but the way he perceived her expectaions and her constant “you will win everything” probably didn’t help. It reminds me of Yuuri and how his family was just like that. Just blankly “you’ll do it”, but without taking in consideration how it could put pressure on him and at the end, trigger anxiety and make him fail (one more reason to think how Yuuri and JJ are similar. I felt it would be like that and I’m happy to see it).
HOWEVER, I’m still conflicted, because I’m questioning myself and if I’m not being more severe on her because she’s getting in the way of my ship. It’s hard to really see where I’m staying objective. That’s why I try my best to respect her nonetheless. You won’t see me praise her but I won’t stand for anyone bashing her over what she didn’t do or just over her going in the way of a ship (not just pliroy).
Basically my feelings on it.
