Curate, connect, and discover
I love reading analyses on tumblr (always open to recs), hearing others' thoughts, what they considered. It's a bit sad for certain series because of how something *should* be true but isn't. Sometimes it's far-fetched, but with JJK it becomes a mix of all of these things but also a necessity because of the lack of explanation I feel.
That's not a problem, as long as thematically it's consistent, if a character is repeatedly shown to want to be seen as more than their exterior, the name, the power, etc, we should give it to him. Which is why it's so funny to me that some people revolve his character around fighting, or his upbringing, or Suguru, or Sukuna. It's almost like another point for the self-fulfilling prophecy because we do to him in our world, what exactly they do in-universe. Now I'm not saying that these don't define him, they do. But this man acts childishly with his students even if all the higher-ups and people in charge look down on it. He continues to be completely not-hostile to his hostile colleagues (or friends that have known him for years). It's interesting how he doesn't care too much about hierarchy and respect even if that could benefit him greatly.
Sure he wasn't a cat-loving father or a playboy. Maybe he isn't some cunty twink or a simp obsessed with a man from 10 years ago. He was just him, and his as a character first declaring to win and reinstating that just to lose (with a messy fight no less). Then his peers and students and friends and colleagues disregarding him, even in the last fucking chapter. But worst of all, he believed it, he isn't human according to him, and I can't put my thoughts properly but I need to make a series of long JJK analysis posts or re-write it or something because damn is it taking up my time.
