Kind Of Obsessed With The Characterization Of Jayce And Viktor As Fundamentally Good People Who Will

- No. That child would see you and run.

Okay. Denji’s Pov in “All circuits are busy” and why it’s written like that. Let’s talk about it:

I’ve gotten a (small but significant) amount of comments/ asks, telling me how refreshing it is to have Denji’s pov be very fast paced and wordy because it is a show of perceptiveness, if not intelligence.

And while it makes me incredibly happy that people appreciate it, it also makes me sad that not more characterisations of Denji are like that.

Because listen. Characterisation is a free real estate in fandoms you can do whatever you please, always. But when you have a character who is canonically illiterate and you decide to make them dumber than a door….it’s telling. And it’s not telling nice things.

I’m not saying Denji is an underrated genius, but he doesn’t have to be. Most of the characters in chainsaw man are of simply average intelligence, and that’s the point. At their core, they are your average run of the mill human that’s struggling to find the place in the world. Not every character has to either be a genius or downright worm-brained. There’s a middle ground. Step on it I beg of you

Yes, Denji is gullible and a bad liar and can’t read/write. He is also the fastest learner in the manga, incredibly perceptive, has the most emotional intelligence out of all the cast, and could fucking do advanced math to calculate his debt at age 10.

One of the main points of Chainsaw Man is “don’t underestimate the illiterate teenager.” Did we not read the same story? Characters fall into this trap time and time and time again, and Denji makes them eat dirt for it. So why, pray tell, do people keep underestimating the illiterate teenager???

Also I like my povs to reek of a bit of autism.

Thank you if you read through this garbage fire of frustration.

I am so tired of people blaming Yuki for Geto's defection, because it wasn't her fault. Getting was already setting himself up for that path. He was a full glass ready to tip. Even if Yuki hadn't spoken to Geto, he would've burnt the village anyways. Geto just happened to tip right there and there, happened to have enough.

Are you truly free as a bird?

Sometimes i forget that Nikolai still doesn't know Fyodor is alive :D
