why Nathaniel Adams/Keizou Amano is unintentionally good BPD representation

fuck you, he's BPD coded and I'm tired of pretending that he's not. (also I may have BPD as well so yeah)

also, pwBPD stands for people with Borderline Personality Disorder, and that's the phrase I'm gonna use for most of this

Impulsive actions

So basically, he trains himself to be just like Moximous, and I see a lot of impulsiveness in this. also he does this shit:

-Training nonstop

-stopping his plans for the first yo-kai watch

-breaking relationships

there's some other actions that I'm not bothered to remember, but these are the ones I remember vividly. in case you do not know, impulsivity is very common within pwBPD.

while things like consuming drugs and unsafe sexual intercourse arent included in the above list (i mean, ofc, this game is for kids and he's fucking 11), damaging positive relationships is part of this impulsiveness.

Unstable Relationships/Splitting

as said before, Nathaniel had seen breaking his positive relationships with others, notably with Hovernyan/Fuyunyan due to not being able to protect his weaker friend.

basically, Kin and Gin inspirited a couple of bullies that beat up his friend, causing his friend to lash out at him. and then he discovered moximous mask and broke his positive friendships to cope and also to try to be like that superhero.

also, he lashes out at Hovernyan for using the Wicked Stone to bring his grandson Nate into the past to help him, along with lashing out at his grandson. (he didn't know that nate was his grandson at the time but I don't care) and he also lashes out a lot later, such as their second meeting

these actions can be similar to splitting (a BPD-exclusive term in which pwBPD tend to characterize themselves, other people, and situations in black and white), and it may contribute to relationships not being stable. it is possible for splitting episodes to be triggered from minor events or inconveniences (as said about Hovernyan and Nate above)

Intense Emotions/Mood Swings

like I said before, Nathaniel starts off as being angry and irratable, as he lashes out at Nate for just being there. he can also go from calm to angry in just a second, which is something I noticed while watching let's plays of Yo-Kai Watch 2 instead of playing it myself.

One of the symptoms of BPD is that a person rapidly changes their emotions and even often.

he does not only have intense anger, but as well as intense sadness, fear, and obsession, and because of his stress and obsession, he feels more intensely than others do.

Perfectionism

you look at me in the eyes and tell me that Nathaniel isn't a perfectionist. you tell me without shitting yourself.

he feels himself to be bad on the inside, so he tries to prove himself to the world that he can become like the moximous hero Moximous Mask.

in many instances, pwBPD have this kind of perfectionist mindset.

Favorite Person

in the past, that one friend seemed to be Nathaniel's favorite person (or fp for short). and after the story of YKW2, it seems to be fuyunyan. as I said before, his friend lashed out at him for not protecting him, but that impacted him a lot since he broke his positive friendships after that, and declared to not have friends.

now you may be asking, "how would this tie to him having an fp?"

in some cases, pwBPD may have their fp abandon them, which causes them to spiral into nothing, which is much like what happened to Nathaniel.

and later on, Hovernyan becomes his new fp. and when Hovernyan gets hurt, well... let's just say that doesn't go well for him.

------------------------------------

conclusion:

because of how his behavior connects to BPD symptoms listed above (there might be more that i might have missed), he is BPD coded, which is fucking hilarious because this is really good BPD representation even though I don't think that was Level-5's intention.

PINNED POST

Context for my blog:

I started this in 2020 following an intense hyperfixation based around what I dub the 'Kemamoto-mura gang': Keizou/Nathaniel, Fumiaki/Kenny, Yukiko/Lucy, Mariko/Kelly and Fuyunyan/Hovernyan - my main blog is @tousakamis , and my ao3 is @makochiu ! (with this in mind, please note many of my posts and older fics were written in 2020 and a lot has changed since this initial hyperfixation, but I keep things up for archival purposes!)

I often refer to characters with their Japanese names because I got into the franchise when the second games had only just released in Japan and thus the Japanese names just sort of stuck in my memory, but I will always respond to their English names (and for some characters I swap between the two)!

Beyond the Kemamoto-mura gang, my favourite characters are the Koma brothers, Hanako Noroino/Foiletta, Touma Tsukinami, Buck and Hailey-Anne!

I colloquially dub the 8th of February as 'Fumizou Day' as it was my first public post about the two characters which remain the center of my hyperfixation, so if anyone sees me talking about this please know it's more of a personal tradition than anything else - though, if anyone ever wants to join in even if it's just a singular post, I'd be absolutely honoured!

While I do have posts exploring headcanons for the Kemamoto-mura gang on this very blog, it's been roughly four or five years since I first made those posts... I don't have much faith in 14 year old Alina to effectively demonstrate my headcanons and choices for this group of characters, and so I wanted to make a post offering quick summaries and explanations for anyone who may be confused or curious as to my choices.

I know as well that I am definitely not the spokesperson for these characters nor am I the only one to have headcanons for them (I might jokingly call myself the Fumizou CEO but that's been a running joke since I was once again 14), so please know my ask box is always open for people to ask questions and discuss/debate/share headcanons. This doesn't just count for the Kemamoto-mura gang either - while they are 100% my niche in Youkai Watch, I have a lot of untapped love for other characters and I'm always open to any questions or discussions!

Headcanons below:

Nathaniel Adams:

12 years old, lives by himself

Depending on the work, his parents are either wholly absent or only his mother is present - his parents are depicted as neglectful in my later works and his mother is depicted as abusive in earlier works (this, I will admit, was reflective of my youthful amateurish writing). This plays on the fact that in the whole second game, there is no mention or recognition of Nathaniel's parents being present or caring for him and it can therefore be presumed that Hovernyan is his only real support system. I often play on this as reason for him being very independent and determined to be a hero, because while it is canonically due to wanting to defend friends, I also like to factor in that he may feel as if he is all he has to rely on.

He can be quite snappy and rude, which leans close to canon, but I like to show him as being quite mellow or childishly playful around Hovernyan in comparison to others due to their closer bond

Kenny Forester:

12 years old, lives with family and moved to Kemamoto-mura at age 12

Can see youkai if he is a companion to Nathaniel and not the grandfather role - I wanted to play on the fact that he is Katie's grandfather and if you play as her he is gifted with that bond with youkai, and the fact that both Guts F and Guts K exist in later games such as Youkai Watch 3 rather than just Guts K being the 'correct' grandparent. Therefore, whether he has the watch or not, I wanted to write him with a unique bond with youkai either way; otherwise, what is the point of such a cute medallium entry? ("He was a boy that loved Yo-kai so much that he became one himself. That love still spreads through hundreds of Yo-kai friends.")

Friendly, playful, polite and enthusiastic to befriend Nathaniel, though... I try to write this in a way which makes him feel just as mysterious and confusing as it does friendly and endearing. In every work of mine, I try to give him this somewhat unsettling and confusing air - like, why CAN he see youkai, why is it that in every universe par the canon one he is drawn to the one boy destined to create the youkai watch, what is his whole deal? I want it to feel as if his existence is an unanswered question sometimes, but Nathaniel is too happy to just have a friend that he doesn't pry. I guess this plays into the fact that he's, in itself, an alternative universe watcher and he doesn't exist in what is classified as the 'correct' universe with Nate as the protagonist? Therefore he's not really meant to exist in Nathaniel's universe anyway, but despite that, he perseveres.

He and Kelly are the two characters which veer most into OC territory as I wanted them to feel different from Nathaniel/Lucy, but I do try to lean into canon elements of his personality as well, like the way he bickers with Nathaniel and a passion for moxie/guts and stuff like that

Lucy Adams:

12 years old, Nathaniel's neighbour and childhood best friend

She remains fairly close to canon in all my works - a sweet, friendly girl that sticks close to Nathaniel and teases him just as much as she cheers him on, also with a weirdly unexplained bond with youkai (because loving a watcher does that to you!)

However, in quite a few of my works, I try to play around with her character since she and Kelly don't have all that much in canon to work with in the first place - I like to show her matching Nathaniel's adventurous spirit and fierce moral code of defending people, for example. I want to explore her more, so perhaps I'll update this in future with more little tidbits about her character?

Kelly Forester:

12 years old, Lucy's classmate who has lived in Kemamoto-mura her whole life

I headcanon her as a trans girl with a fierce defensiveness over Lucy and a playful one-sided rivalry with Nathaniel which usually just leads to banter and teasing. Her transness is, in part, a headcanon which stemmed from my own untapped gender issues as a teenager, so it's one of those which has just always stuck because while I'm transmasc, having a character to weave the beauty of transness in youth into is very meaningful to me :-)

In my works she and Kenny... don't really interact that much? This was a completely unintentional thing, and while it definitely brings up questions of continuity in the grand scheme of things (like how tf does Katie exist), we ignore that. I'll probably play around with their bond more in my works! She and Kenny are the ones that feel most OC-like but I try to draw on canon alongside headcanons LOL

Hovernyan:

Nathaniel's best friend and youkai companion through thick and thin

One of my favourite things to do with Hovernyan is place that silly, bantering and ridiculous side of him shown in the movie and sometimes in the games next to a wistful, deep, brooding wanderer with a lot under the surface (which is brought to the light because of how a wandering spirit stayed stagnant for his human friend). He and Nathaniel have a bond which is rich in potential, namely in the forms of angst, and I like to play on the fact that they both adore each other and bring out the best in each other when they play around but also that underlying awareness especially on Hovernyan's side that their time is limited and Hovernyan just wants to care for Nathaniel and keep him safe while also not messing with fate too much.

Therefore, he will sometimes go on wistful, deep analysis's of his friend in my fics, right before going back to banter and teasing. I like to position him as a more logical and 'intelligent' figure than Nathaniel but also demonstrate that he, too, is just a silly goofball underneath that guise of put-togetherness

It was him.

Immediately, instinctively, Keizou dashed behind the nearest tree, tripping over himself as he went, and, heart knocking against his ribcage, he dared to poke his trembling head back around to take a peek. That nostalgic bowl cut. Those bright, big eyes. That dorky smile. Keizou’s tightened grip pressed his sweat into the rigid bark. Somewhere, something ached.

It took him a second, after the initial shock, to process that he was playing catch with some boys Keizou didn’t recognize. No, he’d seen one or two of them around before...

Keizou paused. The ball was springing back and forth, soaring, prancing between them like an ecstatic dog, and it leapt into the boy’s hand before being tossed high up into the sky. The group laughed and cheered, and he in particular; his smile was huge, his expression...clean, somehow, his movements light and quick, his laugh heartfelt and unburdened. The rest were the same; the grass danced around their feet, their sandals drummed the ground to the rhythm of the birds, the breeze lifted them up in the air, light as a flurry of feathers. The sun was blinding.

A minute or two (or maybe longer?) passed before Keizou noticed that he had long slipped out from behind the tree and into plain view to get a better look and, realizing this, dived back into hiding. But then he reemerged. He fixed his stare directly at them, and stood there. Two minutes. Five minutes. Ten minutes. Half an hour of watching them play catch, rooted in the shade less than fifty feet away.

His mind was going hazy.

Finally, he turned and left. He walked without looking up from the ground, without knowing where he was going; he just walked, and walked, and walked. No matter how far away he walked, he was still watching them play ball; dancing, laughing, smiling. His feet lead him through the woods, where the leaves concealed him; ushered him into the greenery, where he would disappear. Where his tears would disappear with him.

His eyes were too blurry to see where he was going anymore.
