#also kieran's autonomy constantly being undermined by the ppl around him is a big fuckin mood

[wildflowercryptid]

thinking about kieran again... particularly about how i feel like he struggles with a weak sense of self and how him identifying so heavily with ogrepon, (or at least the version of ogrepon he originally knew,) probably helped him stabilize how he saw himself, only to have something he considered so core to his identity essentially ripped away from him. not only that, it was by someone he seemingly wanted to trust and open up to, (which i doubt he does very often.)

i definitely think that the way he's handling things is far from healthy, but i can get why he'd have such an intense reaction to losing something that was so important to him and basically being betrayed by someone he wanted to consider a friend.

#i'm saying this as someone who has also struggled my sense of self and used to use characters to help feel more of a person #basically what i'm is that kieran is autistic-coded as hell and i see bits of myself in him #they aren't the prettiest parts but being a teenager with undiagnosed mental illnesses was never meant to be beautiful #also kieran's autonomy constantly being undermined by the ppl around him is a big fuckin mood #oh and the toxic chain possession theories are making me go 🤔 #i can't wait to see how things turn out for him... #at the end of the day i just hope things end well and that florian & kieran can be friends again... #ideally they'd still have a friendly rivalry that helps both of them improve for the better (like may & wally) #pokemon #pkmn scarvio #rival kieran #chara : kieran hinoki #<- kiddo's got an mjverse surname now 😏 #(it's from the japanese cypress who's wood is used to create masks for noh theatre performances) #mj.txt #scarvio spoilers #sv dlc spoilers
