(1) OK WAIT ADDING ONTO THE ANALYSIS FOR IZAYA (same anon), so i just finished episode 7 of drrr!!x2 ketsu and the scene at the end where izaya calls shizuo and pretty much provokes him after sending down a giant construction crane to knock him and varona out (i feel like izaya knew shizuo would be able to defend her and would catch it in time, but he only did it to see what he'd do), when izaya spews a bunch of things that he thought might've ticked shizuo enough to fight him-
Thanks for sharing all of this; really nice analysis!
I wonder if his constant rejections have caused him to develop a particular unhealthy attachment style in his interpersonal relationships? Like avoidant attachment styles usually develop in people who were ignored or abandoned in their childhood and anxious attachment styles are linked to inconsistent responses (i.e. their caregivers being really kind one moment but distant the next). We have limited knowledge of Izaya's parents or childhood though, of course.
Here's a cool video on attachment styles if anyone is interested in learning more or identifying their own!
