the freesmarts are literally the highlight of this episode ESPECIALLY ICE CUBE... i love how she is getting acknowledged more (both by pencil and the show itself)

icy got a disadvantage w the headphones only for her to find a way to alter it so could easily get her team to win as well is such a goated moment

also the fight scene too, it goes SO hard and for what??? (i havent recorded yet </333)

eepy gals....

[ch3rrybomb]

fireafy and 4x shippers are some of the strongest soldiers because idk how were you guys able to handle the "this ship is abusive" discourse every year

a collection of silly comments from the ppt2 wiki

and my personal favorite of all

[utopianparody]

im glad im not the only one here who doesnt like bot ii here on osc tumblr

[utopianparody]

thinking about cabby ii...... im kinda pissed about how AE handles her

[utopianparody]

guess who typed a 4-paragraph long text about the comparision between milk and bubble wrap ppt2 ✌

[utopianparody]

i think we should NOT normalize portraying rarepairs as "problematic" just bc you dont like seeing them being paired together?? (especially when characters in said rarepair have NEVER interacted before)

[utopianparody]

i really wanna talk about how the OSC tends to have high standards for ships

bc i cannot go on for one week w/o seeing someone claim "this ship is proship!!" and said ship is either a rarepair or are between two characters that have argued like. once

[utopianparody]

im gonna start pulling my hair out everytime people call tacomic a "proship"

Journal having possible BPD; an analysis

you read the title, im going to write on why i think Journal from PPT2 has traits of borderline personality disorder bc im very normal about this character and i like to study him like an ant (also i have bpd myself)

NOTES:

i already wrote down a thread on twitter so this is like a repost here

pwBPD stands for people with Borderline Personality Disorder, im typing this since im going to use the short version of said phrase

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

1) impulsive actions

knowing that Journal had an important task to stop Mr. Hand from escaping, it's no doubt that he would commit risks (even unplanned) to do his work, including;

- forcing himself to stay up to the point he barely had any sleep

- getting himself wet in the rain (since paper-based objects shouldnt be out on the water for too long)

- breaking relationships with others

there are other actions that i might have missed but these are the ones i could remember. 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 show doesn't contain adult themes especially when majority of its fanbase are minors), damaging positive relationships is part of this impulsivness.

2) unstable realtionships / splitting

as said before, Journal had seen breaking his positive relationships with others, notably with Treasure Chest and Post-It Note, over something they had said or did once.

that being TC with his immunity token and Post-It wanting to take a break from work, in which causes him to lash out on them for those reasons above. he was also seen acting negatively towards Ukulele and Bubble Wrap.

Journal's actions above 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 TC and Post-It above)

3) intense emotions

Journal was seen to be more irritable as episodes went by, as his recent behavior include being bitter towards someone and having to easily lash out. he was also seen having fights and arguments with others characters, especially with Treasure Chest ever since episode 9 until 12.

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 fear or paranoia, and because of his stress-related paranoia, he feels more intensely than the others do.

4) psychosis

Journal is canonically psychotic as he had hallucinations shown on-screen twice. his hallucinations caused him to become more paranoid or, as in the recent episode, have a panic attack.

some pwBPD may likely have psychotic symptoms, although not common, it can still be possible.

5) favorite person

Journal likely has Post-It Note as his favorite person (fp for short). He seems to have a alot of trust with Post-It since he was the only one who tried to understand his struggles and is wiling to help Journal out on his work.

although, since episode 11, after Post-It Note said that he wanted to relax fron work for a bit and calmly told him to calm down, Journal got devistated and got angry at him for it, so he distanced himself from Post-It Note and continues to work by himself without his help.

"how would this tie to him having an fp?"

in some cases, pwBPD tend to put high (mostly unachievable) standards for their fp(s), and if those standards arent met, they will start splitting and push their fp(s) away for it.

even Journal's standard put on Post-It Note isnt as ridiculously high, Journal did lash out on him for not meeting it and this did end up hurting both parties at the end.

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

conclusion:

because of how his behavior connect to BPD symptoms listed above (there might be more that i might have missed), he is likely (if not heavily) implied to have borderline personality disorder

[utopianparody]

i wanna say "i wanna see object shows explore sensitive topics and how they were presented there" but then thinking abt it, i worry if they might not be able handle these topics with care especially when not equipped to handle them, whether it would be just for shock factor (which might most likely happen) or glamorizing those topics (least likely but its possible)

everyone in ppt2 has bpd or at least has one cluster b disorder send post

[utopianparody]

object show concept idea:

a competition show where the all contestants are objects that has powers

the host will decide on a challenge via spinning wheel; half of the total challanges will allow the contestants to use their powers, and the other half will prohibit them. that is therefore it would be more fair if they dont use their powers all the time while make things in the show more fun by not restricting those powers completely
