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.

[egophiliac]

like 70% of my knowledge about twst is because I read all the comics about it you do bc they're hilarious, but can I confirm that Rook's character arc was basically just an 'Applejack -> Rarity hypeman (malicious)' pipeline??????

yep, Rook joined NRC as a full-on Rowdy Boy who wore the same ripped-up jeans and sweatshirt 24/7 and was 99% split ends, until one day Vil convinced him to dress up a bit for a concert and he was like, "oh. hmm. actually, I like this." and swung fully into the other extreme of Fanciest Lad. Rook just...does not do middle grounds.

(tangential, but my personal 100% crack actively-contradicts-canon-but-I-don't-care headcanon is that French doesn't exist at all in Twst. Rook personally just made up a collection of fancy-sounding words that, by complete coincidence, happen to sound exactly like earth-prime French.

"but in the City of Flowers --" no, look, his family is VERY rich and VERY weird, it is not out of character that they paid an entire city of people to throw out a few words of their kid's conlang whenever he visits. it makes SENSE --

this is mostly because I think it would be funny if, after Rook gives someone their special little nickname, he has to sit down and explain to them what it means. which I've actually just decided he does anyway, so never mind.)

#twisted wonderland #twisted wonderland episode 6 spoilers #twisted wonderland book 6 spoilers #there is only one case where i think it is funnier if rook didn't translate #and that is trey #specifically for that one scene where he's like 'why do you keep calling me that. you didn't call me that in first year.' #and rook is like 'you weren't a chevalier until you had a roi :)' #trey being like '...yeah okay whatever' is 100% more hilarious to me if he has no idea what any of those words mean #anyway i'm going to be thinking about 'rarity hypeman (malicious)' for the rest of my life #thank you anon #i did once try to explain the malleus-yuu dynamic as 'what if princess luna had a very oblivious human friend' so i'm into it

Hc:

Tim got some homophobic comments at a gala once and decided to be petty as shit about it (as he damn well should).

He waited three months before bribing Jason to break into this guy's car. The Red Hood didn't know what exactly he was installing, but he was promised significant intel on some annoying cases and videos of whatever he wired into the guy's car.

After the guy turns on their car, Ram Ranch blares on full blast. It's so loud (and the guy hates the song so much) that the guy starts taking Ubers everywhere.

Tim, acknowledging the guy had not suffered enough, does an interview with Gotham Globe where he mentions that "someone" once said homophobic comments to him at a gala. He doesn't name them, which makes people even more curious who the hell said that to Timothy Drake-Wayne.

Tim had this whole plan that led to the person either realizing the errors in their ways or Tim would make an example out of them. Unfortunately, Tin didn't get the chance to enact his evil plans. Instead, the idiot confronts Tim pubically, thus naming themself the perpetrator.

Suffice to say, with the whole Wayne family making that guy's life a living hell post reveal, they had to move out of Gotham.

"You recognized the black plume tucked slickly into his wide-brimmed, purple, hat, and the pale, bright, bob of his hair was nearly luminescent in the dark."

"....he looked back over at you with eyes that were far, far, too green."

I may or may not have gotten brain rot from Reaper anon and @dilatorywriting bringing Reaper!Rook to life and I had to draw him!

#rook hunt #twisted wonderland #fanart #I can't explain how much Reaper!Rook has been rotating in my brain like a rotisserie chicken

[maythearo]

I think in Monster High AU, Rook would be a gargoyle, being a reference to Rochelle's boyfriend, and since Scary is a reference to Paris and Rook has a French accent, I thought it would be a good choice

What do you think?

This DOES make sense and it's so fitting wait a second‼️‼️‼️‼️

#ther are so many ideas for characters oh my god I'm like ‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️ THIS IS COOL ‼️‼️‼️ #I don't even know with what ideas I'd go with for characters that have different possibilities in my head but regardless- #and Rook somehow just have matching vibes with gargoyles too. don't know how to explain it he just does. #of what I'd end up chosing. these suggestions are blowing my mind and I'm not exaggerating‼️‼️LIKE‼️‼️‼️ #ask

[wayhavenots]

there was a version of the Rook Lives AU in my mind where Nate and Avery *had* met in person before. and *had* had a one night stand after some Agency party. but I scrapped that idea lol.

#i think avery (in the rook lives au) has had several one night stands with field agents #so she has like a rehearsed speech for when they try to turn it into something more/develop feelings/etc #so it would be avery really like 'i just want to be coworkers' when nate shows up again. #and nate of course has to awkwardly explain that he's there for completely different reasons #and then they become friends! and then they fall in love! #anyway. none of that happens lol

Ty: It doesn't matter how I feel

Livvy: Why not?

Ty: Because I'm not the one he wants

Livvy: Ty, I love you, but you're an idiot

Ty: Livvy, I saw you two kiss!

Livvy: Because I asked him to, not because we have feelings for each other! Plus he said he loves you!

Ty: . . . .

Livvy: And not in the way you and I love each other or how we love Dru, Julian, Tavy, Mark and Helen but how Tessa and Jim love each other, Magnus and Alec, Simon and Isabelle!

Ty: . . . .I'm an idiot

This is all I need from TWP PLEASE

#kitty #Kit x Ty #shadowhunters #the dark artifices #the wicked powers #livvy blackthorn #ty blackthorn #kit rook #kit herondale #I need Livvy to explain to Ty the possible misunderstanding #i know most want Kit to do it but imagine your ghost twin does it because she doesnt want to see you pine or be jealous anymore #olivia 'livvy' blackthorn is the boggest kitty shipper yall

lab safety protocols

… The TWST boys don’t follow them OTL

I know it’s just to look cool but it still bothers me 😂 especially Trey and Rook, who in Science Club… yet Trey has his coat open and Rook didn’t put away his hat or tie his hair back… yes, I’m shaming them/j

#twst #twisted wonderland #Rook Hunt #Trey Clover #disney twisted wonderland #notes from the writing raven #I don’t even need to explain this #I’ve already seen a Tumblr post and a Twitter thread long ago about this #if Tumblr didn’t have a 10 image limit on each post #I’d roast the boys Yet Again 😷

[rook-of-the-woods]

Can someone who has romantic attraction for sure please explain to me wtf romance even in? Like… what’s the difference between a deep platonic bond and romance? I know there is one but I’m struggling to put my finger on it.

is it the physical attraction + deep platonic bond? Is it sexual attraction + deep platonic bond? Is there a secret third thing? Is it the commitment? I don’t understand.

legitimately over here pondering the state of Traditional vs. relational anarchy.

MORE guest room shenanigans

Riddle was just sitting around and enjoying his own alone time when suddenly, Azul decided to join him :O

Looks like he doesn't appreciate the company sdhjdfkjfdlkfld-- Lil' guy immediately stood up once Azul sat down on the couch :'))

Meanwhile —on the other side of the room, these two are just chilling 😌😌

But eventually,

He sat back down again.

#twisted wonderland #azul ashrengrotto #riddle rosehearts #cater diamond #rook hunt #kheyy's thoughts #oh also. i didn't get to screenshot it but azul was fighting with cater earlier #could probably explain why riddle didn't wanna sit with him #since tako over here messes with one of his dorm mate #at least he chose to be civil and sat down again. for now

It's funny that I can see most of the twst people shipping with Jade. In Jade's opinion (not mine) he's willing to date most of them or at least give it a shot. There's a small amount who can instantly ship with him because their personalities are compatible. A little more than half which is like "They can be a thing with enough work and interactions and chemistry". Some that might be just casual flings but neither party wants anything serious. But Rook. Rook is the only one whom Jade says "No thanks" under any circumstances. Yes, these torture asks makes him horny, but not even that makes him horny enough to want Rook.

#𖦹 ⋆꙳ ⁄ ooc. #// me @ Jade; shakes him: WHAT BEEF DO YOU HAVE WITH ROOK #// and I cant explain #// he's just very not into rook 😂
