When It Comes To Alastor's Breakdown, I Keep On Seeing People Arguing Over Whether He's Mocking The Altruist

When it comes to Alastor's breakdown, I keep on seeing people arguing over whether he's mocking the altruist line because he thinks it is ridiculous, or if he cares.

Honestly, I don't see why it has to be one or the other though? He hates the idea of himself being referred to as an altruist because he's spent his entire life loving the feeling of being cruel and revels in his reputation. Meanwhile, he might also hate the sinking feeling that there might be some possible truth to the idea that he cares for them.

Remember, he does confess that he likes them to Nifty. Nifty is one of the few people he actually likes and he doesn't have much to gain by lying to her. Often what people say when they are alone and nothing is on the line is more true than what they say when everything is on the line.

It's probably very tempting for alastor to mock the idea that he cares about anyone at the hotel. He hates being attached to others, he's only ever seen it as a weakness.

While it is possible he is simply mocking the idea of him caring about the other residents, personally I think the truth is more complex. He mocks it because he thinks it is a ridiculous idea and because he desperately wants to convince himself that this is all he really thinks of them. Anything else would upset his worldview too fundamentally for him to allow.

JJK MENTAL HEALTH INSPIRATION

remember that gojo would want you to stay hydrated, and drink plenty of water. megumi wants you to learn more about yourself, and advance in life. yuuji wants you to make sure you’re comfortable, and not exhausting yourself socially. nobara wants you to spoil yourself, and buy that thing you’ve been wanting. nanami would love for you to take a step back, breathe, and re-evaluate yourself if you’re feeling off. how can you fix the issue? sukuna thinks you’re strong willed, and a powerful individual. don’t ever forget that. toge wants you to try something new, and panda wants you to learn a new skill. maki wants you to work on your physical capability, so that you can surpass any challenges.

utahime needs you to work more on mental balance, and understanding of your mind. mahito wants you to take long breaks after training, and take a nice long bubble bath. getou thinks you have potential, and to work on being more selfish with your time. do things for yourself, not everyone else; but mai wants you to be nice to others when it counts, so you don’t lose people you’re close to. noritoshi wants you to become more in tune with your senses. todou wants you to eat more, and stop skipping meals. toji wants you to stop being so serious, and growing up too quickly. enjoy your youth while you have it. choso wants you to take a nap, and sleep in. mei mei wants you to do a skin care routine, and hair masks. it’s been a long day, take care of yourself.

when you’re having a bad day, and you want to give up on taking care of yourself— remember to be at your best, for your comfort characters.

bucky typically wearing multiple layers of clothing with his arm hidden vs being in a simple shirt with his arm out on display indicating his comfort and familiarity with sam is so personal to me.

and another thing i love is the symbolism in the fact that he’s wearing the same style of shirt (henley) in both of these pictures. except the red indicates an anger and conflict in his identity vs the blue symbolising strength and serenity (newfound thanks to sam).
