Honestly, I don’t know. He is literally my Gremlin. A little me in exaggerated form. He says out loud what I think and acts out what I am too adjusted to do. Some of the interactions with him are real life events, some are completely made up, many really happened but are overdone to be entertaining.
He was originally written years ago as the overly emotional counter part to a character that didn’t have any emotions at all. Since then he has evolved into the complex character he is today who shares a lot of background with my own family history.
He thinks very similar to me and is the character I relate to the most. Drawing him helps me understanding myself even if I am not realizing it until I actively try to analyze why I wrote that.
And sometimes when I have to go to social events (help…) I take him with me and imagine what he would say or do in that situation and giggle to myself in the corner.
I also have a big interest in Psychology and took some courses at fancy school. So I have been trying to diagnose him for fun. I wrote him as manic depressive back in the day but have since realized that this diagnosis doesn’t fit. In a newer version he got diagnosed with BPD which fits pretty well, but I am no Psychologist.
Nowadays I think his psyche is more like a layered cake of ADHS/Autism, Trauma, PTSD, BPD and Addiction with a suicidal cherry on top.
Im fine btw
