I can't stop thinking about how Ryuji literally suffered a life altering injury (that clearly causes him chronic pains) and complete social isolation because of Kamoshida and yet he still:
Feels unsettled by the idea of potentially murdering someone, no matter how much they deserve it, and
Puts literally everyone's trauma with Kamoshida before his, including the track team that did not hesitate to dump him the moment he became (in their eyes) dead weight.
And this isn't even the only time this happens- Ryuji constantly treats his traumas, no matter their nature, as less important than others'.
His father's abuse and consequent abandonement are mentioned like once, and through the game Ryuji repeatedly puts himself in physical danger and dismisses his safety as lesser for the sake of others, to the point it's literally a pattern.
Examples of this behaviour include:
Trying to distract Kamoshida's guards to allow Ren to run away (and we're not getting into how this mirrors Ren getting into trouble to save a woman he doesn't know, nor how he will do this again by awakening Kidd specifically to save Ren and Morgana)
Willingly going back to the metaverse to try and save the volleyball team, and then putting himself under the spotlight in the real world by openly asking them to testify against Kamoshida
Dismissing his pain when his leg gives out under him while they're running away from the collapsing castle
Offering to stay still as the track team beats him up, willingly accepting the scapegoating and believing himself to be actually responsible
Jumping in front of a taxi to run to the rescue of a girl who had threatened to get him into legal trouble unless he helped take a mafia boss down
Choosing to put himself in danger by running to unlock the safeboats on Shido's sinking ship, only to make fun of the team for crying for him (does he not get why they were crying, or does he think his death isn't worth crying over? A question that makes the out of character and entirely unfunny scene where the girls beat the shit out of him even more heartbreaking)
Saving Ren and Akechi (a guy he openly hates) by refusing Maruki's reality and shielding them by taking a hit in their stead
And I might be missing something because I just. Listed these points off the top of my head. His entire character (despite the way the game semi-regularly tries to slander and mistreat him for the funnies) is centered around self sacrifice and he isn't even an adult yet.
I don't even know where I'm going with this. It's just... Ryuji, man.

Jon calling himself a “motherless bastard” is sooooo ironic because he actually has a shit ton of mother figures. Lyanna Stark, his biological mother who spent her last few moments ensuring his survival. Wylla the wetnurse, who did what Lyanna couldn’t and nursed baby Jon to health. Ashara Dayne, who was at the very least involved in the secret of his birth and keeping it (thus ensuring he was safe from Robert). And some random fisherman’s daughter, who according to legend knew that she couldn’t care for her babe and gave him to Ned Stark for a chance of survival. Whoever his mother was, she loved him fiercely. And everyone knows about his mothers. Everyone - but him.

Coal-Black
I find it interesting that one of the few things we know about Basil’s physical appearance is his “coal-black hair.”
Ignoring the possibility of Basil being in an insert for Wilde(which is very likely), the fact that Basil never describes himself is pretty interesting especially since he’s an artist, it’s practically his job to be able to recreate visions of others. It’s only thanks to Henry not understanding what Basil means about Dorian’s portrait, that he “put too much of myself into it” that we get to have even the tiniest sliver of information regarding Basil’s appearance.
It’s kinda like that trope in which an artist can see beauty in anything but themselves, therefore purposefully omitting themselves from everything since they are merely there as an underserving spectator.
Basil practically has background character syndrome.

remember when minho got beaten up, tied to a chair, placed in a room with a griever coming at him as a CHILD
then thomas was forced to watch the griever come at minho, thinking it was going to KILL him
and wckd did that over and over to teach everyone a lesson
also remember how thomas said minho was never the same after that. and he never showed up for any of the closet meetings
