Party

Squeeze him harder

crowley’s va… *wipes stray tear from my eye*

if you're cold, he's cold. let him in, it's valentines day.

People I met for a few moments that live in my head forever.

And our burdens were much lighter when we carried them together.

I know that you don’t care for me.

I tried to be nothing more than your shadow.

But, I see you.

I see you.

I thought I was fine being a shadow.

But, I didn’t think you’d turn around,

And see me too.

shit man tomorrow is christmas eve i swear yesterday was June 2010

Alice in Borderland: Shuntarō Chishiya (INTJ 5w4 549 sx/sp)

MBTI

Dominant Ni

His Ni is apparent many times in the manga. He chose to stay in one spot during the tag game to observe his enemies first (Ni prefering prediction over Se action). His dominant Ni is also very apparent when he set Arisu up. When he saw Aguni's confusion when he opened the black envelope he concluded that the content of the envelope is most likely empty. After setting Arisu up, he picked information again when Aguni looked into one spot because he felt uneasy that Arisu tried to break the fake safe, hence he was looking at the location of the real safe. He used his Ni briefly in blackjack too, guessing that one of the players is a magician because of how he looks.

He used his Ni a lot during the Beauty Contest game. He thought that the success rate for the King (Kuzuruyu) and tried to infer the meaning behind it and considered the success rate to be fair. He knows that Kuzuruyu is a lawyer, that the game venue is a court with gigantic scales as the decoration. He also mentioned that the value of all life is equal is the ideals of a lawyer. As the game progressed, all of the players' choice are nearing the number zero, which is an equilibrium (there will be no exchange of points cause rationally everyone will choose zero in the end), which is in line with Kuzuruyu's ideals. He then understood what Kuzuruyu is trying to weigh (he is trying to find the meaning behind the game). After implementing his strategy for the game he saw Kuzuruyu keeping up with his new strategy which means that he already predicted that this could happen and he concluded that Kuzuruyu is trying to weigh the value of life from the game. Then as they conversed more he found that Kuzuruyu is unable to choose the worth of a life and he inferred that he became the citizen to let the game decide the worth for him and hoped that he'll eventually become numb to it (before that he asked Kuzuruyu if he kept participating in these games and becomes the citizen himself and losing his human emotions would it increase the pain and Kuzuruyu said it's possible).

He also kept his eye on Daimon and inferred that she is a frank person because she kept asking things that she doesn't know to other people. Because of her personality he predicted that she would choose a random number. He narrowed down her number of choice and associated some of the numbers that he eliminated with the numbers that are usually seen a lot in daily life (64 with a ding from a video game console commercial and so on).

Auxiliary Te

He used his Te too in the tag game. He chose a spot where he can observe everything from above and he thought that it doesn't make sense to wander around when you don't know where the it will emerge with limited visibility in the apartment. He also used Arisu to bait the real safe from Aguni (knowing that Hatter is a cautious person, so the safe must be hidden) when the militants are celebrating his coronation as the King of the beach (finding the safe without bait during an opportunity like this wouldn't be as effective and could get you caught or you wouldn't find the safe at all when they're going back).

He also used his Te in the blackjack game. He knows that if he knows how many cards are left then he will know which cards are left since all of the decks are the same, then he categorised which cards are advantageous to the players and which ones are advantageous to the dealers and counted the ratio of the said cards from the deck and from this formula he can decide how much he should bet. During the last few rounds of blackjack he knows that the old lady despised one of the players, a trick master, because it reminded her of her husband (that player has used his gun to kill another player, so he can't use his gun again), so he cheated again to trigger the game system to allow the lady to use the gun and of course that lady killed the trick master.

During the Beauty Contest game he decided to break the equilibrium by choosing the number 100, knowing that Daimon is a frank person and because of his choice Daimon won the round and repaid him by choosing 100 in the next round.

Tertiary Fi

He sometimes evaluates his personal values like in the tag game when he said that as long as he survives, he doesn't care how many people will die and he reflected on this value, whether or not it's human to have that mindset. He also justified his wrongdoing after he set Arisu up by saying that there isn't anything that someone shouldn't do in order to survive.

When Daimon died during the Beauty Contest he said that her sacrifice is not worth the exchange of his own life and he realized that his emptiness is there even before the Borderlands. During the last round of the Beauty Contest, he said to Kuzuruyu that equality is impossible since there will always be one side that will be sacrificed to reach "equality" or to implement "justice" (black and white Fi judgment due to auxiliary Te). After figuring out Kuzuruyu's personal values, he played with it, forcing him to make a choice with his value and slightly mocking him that if he doesn't like to make decisions (since Kuzuruyu can't decide the worth of a life), he can just kill him off since the rules of the game is impartial. After Kuzuruyu died he realized that he thought Kuzuruyu as an interesting person because he envied his interest in life, which he doesn't have.

After he was shot, he told Arisu that he used to view the human beings as stupid beings. He said that he despised the sincere ones, he berated people who put in their effort, hurt a lot of people, and shunned a lot of people who have good will and intentions. He realised that he was probably jealous cause those are the things that he doesn't have. He felt like he has no purpose and his mere existence is just to show how empty a human can be and deep down he just wanted to be understood. After he went back to the real world he decided to live an honest life.

Inferior Se

His Se inferior showed up during the tag game because he prefers to know the prediction first instead of acting in the now. He also used the things around him during the Witch Hunt to make a flamethrower.

Shadow Functions

Opposing Ne

During the game of Tag when he saw Karube suggesting the players to work together he doubted that his idea will work out easily. He considered the possibilities of the other players risking themselves to go to the walkways to find the base, risking themselves to reveal their locations to the it, and risking themselves to trust the intel from another player. His assumptions are later proved to be wrong cause Usagi risked herself to work together with everyone else.

Critical Parent Ti

During the Beauty Contest game he quietly criticized the old man for using his own logical deduction, using his own intelligence as his basis and he thought that if he kept doing that he won't win the game and won't understand the workings of an "idiot". He also called out Kuzuruyu's obsession with equality is illogical since he is the one who is trying to assign superiority or inferiority to human lives by creating the game.

Trickster Fe

During the Witch Hunt he said to Mira that he never wanted to understand the hearts of others. During the battle royale he said to Arisu that he despised sincere people and he couldn't help but to shun people's good will and intentions.

Enneagram

5w4 549 sx/sp

*this includes my own interpretation of his character

As you can see in the manga he values information and deem it important. He keeps collecting things after the games too. Since 5s are afraid of being deprived of their resources, he told Karube that his information is not for free.

As you can see in the manga him being neglected by his parents form his 5 core. As the result of the neglect he becomes empty and apathetic (one of 5 traits). He was never taught how to love and he has to conquer the world on his own since he was a kid and depended on himself, making himself competent (hence the 5 fear of being incompetent, making them hoard a lot of information and knowledge for themselves). His 4 wing makes him envy what people have that he doesn't have. He threw a letter of a father who wanted to redeem himself because he envied him as he doesn't have a father who really cared for him. As 5w4 he is jealous of other people who are seemingly not empty and have a purpose. Because of his emptiness he feels that he has no purpose, that life is meaningless. The result of his jealousy is his antagonistic behavior to people. He tried to fulfill that emptiness with some random knowledge (you can see that when he quotes some random knowledge about utopia or monalisa in the manga) and pursued medicine to see if he could care about life. As 5w4 he felt that he came to the world being neglected and not being accepted as who he is by his parents and he assumed that they had him just to look normal and just to be a good hospital director. Since the void of his 5 is endless, he might view that to give is to deprive himself, so he becomes selfish.

Even though he has no interest in the concept of life, his 4 wing makes him intrigued to find what's missing in himself, his sense of purpose and he just want people to understand him and to see him as who he is.

From the explanation above you can conclude that he has 5 and 4 in his tritype. His gut type is a 9 since he doesn't provoke people that much and tried to be peaceful even though he is frustrated. Because his 4 his higher in the tritype stack than his 9, he doesn't really mind to tell how stupid people are.

His Sx instinctual variant makes him want to find a person that he finds to be interesting in Borderland (that's like his sole purpose there) and he finally met Kuzuruyu. His Sp second makes him consider his own survival, but not at the expense of his Sx since he is willing to take risks to find that one-on-one connection and turns out what makes Kuzuruyu interesting to him is him being the opposite of himself, valuing life even when his life is the cost.

Hoping praying blood sacrificing for a proper full AIB anime adaptation. Will it ever happen most unlikely. Is there hope? Always!

"Chishiya is so unbothered💀" "LMAO UNBOTHERED KINGGG"

he's apathetic, not unbothered. things still bother him but he just cant bring himself to care enough for an appropriate reaction. and thats on him being neglected for his entire life and never learning how to feel/deal with emotions--but the adap just left that part out

THE PEDIATRIC WARD WHAT THE HELL?!

I could never imagine him of all people willfully choosing to work with children. There are too many cans of worms.

Im so glad we are talking about this. What is this butchering of Chishiya. When I choose to finish the show I’ll need to repent by rereading the manga at least 3 times.

I was also really excited to see the letter scene and the Mona Lisa scene even more. It’s such a beautiful scene.

Something personal on the Mona Lisa panels:

I never liked the Mona Lisa. Her popularity definitely added to it but the painting never spoke to me. These panels made me appreciate the painting more and what it can mean to others. I’m grateful as an artist to have gotten more hindsight into that as well.

Semi spoilers on Chishiya in Season 2 bcs the serie made me super pissed off about this

The fact that they changed his past and put him in the paediatric ward with all the implication of "eh now I'm so apathetic because I've seen people die because of the corrupt system and I pretend I don't care" gne gne... IT DOES NOT IMPROVE THE CHARACTER. ON THE CONTRARY.

Chishiya was not in pediatrics, he was a medical student "on field" in the hospital and he's the same person who, when a dying patient gave him a letter for his wife and children, he smiled, said "Don't worry I'LL HAND IT OVER" and then proceeded to THROW IT IN A TRASH CAN JUST OUTSIDE THE ROOM SAYING THAT FOR HIM THOSE THINGS ARE JUST A PAIN IN THE ASS.

Chishiya doesn't care about understanding people's hearts, he has no interest in the concept of life. He says that himself.

I don't know what the fuck they wanted to do but twisting this big part of him made my balls drop

Little rant:

I hate hate hate hate detest the AIB show changing Chishiya’s backstory so much. I saw someone saying it was probably to make him more sympathetic. I find it very annoying. Let him be hated. He wasn’t a good person, he didn’t do good things and his backstory does not excuse that. It is merely an explanation to his actions and thought process.

TLDR: apathetic Chishiya shouldn’t be excused and I love his character in the manga (the 4 story deluxe cake of analyzing I get to chow down on)

A date with death was very good. I still need to get the bad ending and then it’s done.. well maybe getting all achievements wouldn’t hurt.

Casper is very cute~ He gets my seal of approval.

Lotte Kestner has me in a chokehold again whilst I read fanfiction or just try to live… why does her voice have to be so good and her lyrics so beautiful

He deserves his screen time and so do I become oh lord does that new outfit look good

In light of recent events

I started with clips so it was one hell of a journey. Took me a year or so to understand that he’s a streamer 😭

Thinking abt how my first jerma stream was the hot tub stream. I was so confused dude. I was like where is jerma. Who is bugleberry. What the fuck is happening

Sometimes I want to be a handsome man. Not because I want to be a man, there’s just something about being a handsome man for a bit that sounds fun

Me when I find some new white haired twink

hate when you find a character whose so infuriatingly Your Type that its embarrassing like yeahg no one is gonna be surprised when i announce this is my new Guy Of The Month

Althought I don’t think she had any romantic feelings nor want that for her I find this take interesting. It is also leaves things up to interpretation on what kind of love.

I like this Take as it explains it better than gege just putting it there to disprove of the shipping or smth.

On Shoko's Feelings

CW: JJK220 Leaks

My excitement aside, I actually do read this differently than how others seem to be reading it.

To me, I read that as if she had said something like that back then when they were in school, that it was impossible for her to look at them romantically. I don't know if denial is the right word, but it's so out of nowhere for her to suddenly comment on potential romantic feelings that it feels to me that she's reflecting on what she once said.

It feels to me she's realizing that, despite her own words and assertions, she's come to realize she did/still does love them. Whether it's just Satoru or Suguru or both is besides the point.

Either way, I'm glad we're getting some SuguShoko/SatoShoko/SaShiSu content, and, shipping aside, I'm very pleased at some new Shoko developments.

Shoko is so interesting to look at after all she’s been through we only ever get small scenes for her and of her feelings. I want them to be explored more so bad, like when will her indifference finally crack?!

Akutami Gege Devouring His Son

Gotta love new century fashion

They’re all hanging up on him

the recent jjk arc is fun

Can we add satosugu grieving as a new entry in the dsm-v please i think this is pathological

Akutami this Akutami that. When Gojo "won" a few weeks ago people complained about Gege being greedy and keeping him alive to keep making money out of him (as if wanting money for your work was a sin). And now people complain about this death being "forced". Yk guys, I just think you're not happy with anything at this point and some people want to spread negativity over an overworked author. The same way people sent hate akutami when he didn't have the time to finish those pages in volume 17.

But I'll say thanks, Gege for creating such a great and complex character, wonderfully written who lived, loved and laughed, grieved and cried. A character so sadly mischaracterized as "just egoist and narcissistic" who had his heart broken so many times, his body literally ripped out, died and reborn as a god, who always gave his best.

I can't wrap my head about Satoru's life. People expecting the best from him, so they probably never actually congratulated him bc that was "his job" and what everything wanted from him. And Suguru being the only one who understood him and saw him as Satoru, not Gojo Satoru "the six eyes brat" just Satoru. His name being pronounced in such a lovely way during season 2 will always break my heart.

Also, Satoru and Toji being counterparts in the sense that Toji was born with nothing, and no one expected nothing from him, while Satoru had everything. Their fight, which was the first time Satoru felt alive and the point from which he became obsessed with being powerful.

Satoru, the funny and cunning teacher who wanted a strong generation. And he made it. He actually accomplished his dream of making a strong generation of sorcerers capable of thinking by themselves. It's all in their hands now.

Grew from a kid to a smart adult who proved he was the strongest of his generation. Maybe he wasn't the strongest of all times, and considers himself to not be enough, but for me? Damn, he is. He's the one who cared about the youth, who prepared them for the future. Who overcame a cursed love and loss all covered in blood, never surrendered, and still managed to stood up for what he believed in regardless the situation. That's what a strong person does.

So thanks Gege. Satoru has accompanied me for three years of my life. I loved him for three years and I will continue to love him in case he decides not to give another plot wist and leave him definitely dead.

I'll love him forever

AIB season 3 announcement, didn’t see that coming. With the first two seasons having adapted the manga I wonder if they will do the spin off manga for season 3 or something original.

Grape loving bastard

I think gojo is alive but I don’t know if I want him alive or not.

I think I do but at the same time I’m unsure.
