and this was only 21 chapters before 5-30..
... that being said... (god i'm awful)
Seeing that we see Jamil's childhood and all his memories of being told to be subordinate, it's safe to say that Jamil is less affected by dissociative amnesia, aka traumatic-memory-repressing.
However, does this mean that even though he probably has some repressed memories about his childhood and traumatic experiences, he also remembers some of them?
What if he's the only one who really knows what Kalim has been through? But because of their tragic relationship, he's unable to admit that he feels sorry for Kalim, because in some sense (THAT HE'S TECHNICALLY RIGHT ABOUT), Kalim is the reason for his trauma too.
Both him and Kalim were never able to have normal childhoods, but beyond normalizing this idea, they both struggle to accept the fact that they didn't have it worse than the other.
Kalim deals with this struggle more easily, as you see him developing these realizations through out the main story line, like in book 5 - 30. In fact, he almost immediately forgoes this idea after Jamil stops overblotting, offering Jamil a choice that takes his traumatic past into consideration, while allowing them to still continue a relationship of some sorts. Meanwhile, Jamil has had less/little development on this. He did have a really nice moment in book 5-10 talking to Azul, but other than that, I really haven't seen more moments of his development, which I find rather disappointing on twst's part. I'd really like a nice moment, whether between Jamil and someone else (like the MC), or maybe even between him and Kalim, where he does atleast acknowledge this idea (Kalim having trauma) without compromising the truth that he has also been wronged.
In the end, I doubt this will ever happen, but a girl can dream.. I atleast wish that the fans wouldn't make their relationship in the fandom competitive in regards to "who's-more-traumatized". This isn't a debate, there doesn't need to be a right answer.
I REITERATE MY POINT DAWG π MF'S LITERALLY THAT MEME THAT'S LIKE "my eyebags are specifically designed to carry the weight of my existence" ππ
I mean.. it's something?.. i lowkey thought he was wearing a supreme t-shirt at first so- ππ
ig we have another look of him without his glasses but also without makeup!! (still ugly- /J /J)
he looks much better not wearing the jacket- but also MUSCLES DAMN??? (we all know treyβs the most built human character-)
y'all.. this event is SENDING me it's so funny- there's so many funny moments in chapter 4 so here's my favorites:
the mental picture of sebek lifting up idia (who's only like 5 cm/2 in shorter than him-) is SO funny
like imagine seeing some random green haired guy who's tall asf RUNNING through town SCREAMING while carrying an EQUALLY tall, skinny asf guy with FLAMING blue hair ON his back π
Poor Trey getting dragged into this shit- even he don't wanna deal with Leona and Malleus's gay petty asf bickering π
riddle's tantrums are NOTHING compared to them π
Sebek (accidentally) SLAMMING Idia with that comment is also the greatest thing ever-
"hermit" is wild π and the worse part is sebek met it with 100% sincerity, this is the nicest he's been all event and he literally told idia he doesn't go outside enough π
(in order to fit the 30 photo limit, i combined the first screenshot with the rest of these screenshots, Vil didn't immediately say the plan after insulting Sebek)
Vil slamming another freshman as a "unwashed, overripened vegetableβ never gets old, atleast Sebek isnβt another potato (HE HAD THE CHANCE TO CALL HIM A CABBAGE BECAUSE OF HIS HAIR BUT HE DIDNT AND ITS SO TRAGIC-)
Idia trying his best to escape Sebek also is hilarious but unfortunately, he's not brave enough to challenge Vil's authority- and Epel finally has a reason to be grateful about being in Pomefiore π
Idia saying he regrets being a dorm head is also extremely funny because i just KNOW heβs thinking βdude I wouldβve never been the party leader if iβd have to team with these annoying noobs..β
Leona cheering on the little girl and mocking Malleus cause he knows DAMN well Malleus can't actually hurt her is also hilarious-
Malleus is also petty enough for Leona to be WRONG about this, but atleast he got some sense knocked into him before the poor girl got blasted into smithereens- Malleus was actually gonna magic blast her into oblivion like ππ
(side note: leona looks SO handsome when he's actually laughing with a big smile, it's so unfortunate that we don't see this sprite often..)
Malleus and Leona getting along in order to gang up on Trey is lowkey CRAZY cause what is Trey gonna do to them π mf was about to be bodied if he hadn't run off to talk with Shock in order avoid them-
(legitimately will never understand why they decided Trey was an enemy for trying to mediate their arguements by agreeing with both of them- dude is trying his best and yall dont stfu with your gay ass arguments like i would be tired of that shit too π)
NO HATE BUT IM TRYING SO HARD NOT TO CRACK A ERM ACTUALLY JOKE ABOUT HIS OUTFIT ππ
op was right on the money with the first one, just a little tuft on the right
