How it started vs How it's going Jujutsu Kaisen Season 2 OPs
hmm honestly I'm not sure about calling Tamaki shy? AT least not as a teen, idk it doesnt feel like that best describes what's going on with him
yeah, like it looks a lot more like dude is trying to brute force his way through multiple forms of anxiety than being shy.
like we do see him talk to new people, and he even seems to have the most extensive friend group of same aged friends among the big three, and we even see him talk shit… he just doesnt seem to be able to look at people or doesnt want folks to look at him as he does it
like his not handling praise or criticism well is tied to his self esteem/self confidence/self worth issues caused by the expectations placed upon him for having such a great quirk and not the personality that folks expect of someone with his quirk also he's pessimistic and very outspoken about his pessimistic opinions and finding openings to put himself down/compliment other people
i guess that's the thing why Tamaki doesnt come off as shy to me? Most of what can be interpreted as shyness can easily be attributed to anxiety while otherwise he's relatively outspoken about plenty of things.
just an anxious mess with no self confidence and natural pessimist doesnt strike me as lining up with the 'soft shy boy uwu' thing the fandom has decided to interpret
granted I do think that even if he got properly medicated for the anxiety and/or was getting therapy for it, that he still wouldnt particularly be a people person and still wouldn't be a fan of crowds or strangers watching him/doing shit in front of crowds he'd probably still be a pessimist too he's just be able to keep trucking through shit without shaking and sweating and getting stress ulcers and he'd still probably prefer if he didnt have to make eye contact with people but none of that really strikes me that much as shy
why was blue eye samurai so good literally what the fuck...yall need to stream that show bc if i dont get s2 i may just end it all
I gen dont see how ppl think that tamajiki is this shy uwu kitten cinnamon roll smol boi. like come on. this nigga is a 3rd year at the highest hero school in Japan, literally apart of multiple wars, and was apart of the team that helped save a girl from a mafia team. like come on y'all. like I get hes shy. that's obvious. but y'all make that his whole. personality. like since 2020 when mha popped off. I said this on one of my other mha rants but im tired of him as well always getting sexualized and fetishized for his quirk. like hes 18 in the manga. hes graduated from high school, wtv. but y'all make his shy demeanor and his quirk his whollleeeeeee personality. like its so annoying to go on his tag and js find smut and him stuttering up a storm, like he doesn't even stutter that much 💀
like come on y'all. come on.
anyways back to Tamaki edits AHHH HES SO CUTEEEE
