Okay so arson posting!! Gonna be a really long yap session about my thoughts on his character and digging into him a little. Rng civ/season 3 of jnc spoilers ofc!!
I think he’s a really good albeit sad representation of neurodivergency. I do relate to him a lot
He has an issue of not taking things seriously and treating everything like a game but not having the realization of how he’s treating things being possibly harmful until it’s too late
He’s stated to have adhd and can’t tell social cues majority of the time it seemed. Whilst he is an asshole, he didn’t really mean to be most of the time- especially with cherry. He felt they were bouncing off of one another and joking when it was apparently on a very one sided feeling- and the realization of this only hits him in the face during magma king when being confronted. He was on a hyper high :(
Poor guy is STRESSING. Him trying to apologize genuinely got to me a little
He acts without thinking and says shitty things without meaning to. Because he typically cant. And I’m convinced he only tagged cherry at the end there because he panicked as time was ticking down.
As far as he’s aware this is death. I’d be scared too. I’d do the same thing without meaning to nor thinking. I also want to note he was the only one to immediately get comfortable with his new form and body too. Something something knowing he was always different from everyone and now he can just be. Also maybe a small trans metaphor if you really squint.
