hiii, im the tomie anon from before!! i apologise, i didn’t know you were recovering from hospitalisation, i hope everything’s okay and im wishing you a speedy recovery :((

your tomie fics are so amazing, considering literally no one actively writes for junji Ito, it was so interesting coming across an author who could characterise tomie in such a realistic way !

have you ever tried to write a tomie/ofc series? or do you prefer writing one shots? it would be pretty cool to see tomie and an OC’s relationship begin and unfold in a wider sense?? thank you for replying btw <33

Hi there! It's so nice to see you again! 😊 And thank you for the well wishes! Yes I am actively dealing with a health condition they're looking into (in and out of doctor visits/hospitalization boooo) and it keeps me from getting involved in my writing fests I signed up to do/forces me to leave them/make decisions about them.

I don't see many Junji Ito fics either which is a shame but it's very kind of you to say that about mine. 💕💕 And about writing Tomie's characterization! I'm obsessed with her. I love whenever she pops up. I have very strong opinions about her too askjhdfshdkjdshj

Oh I just write oneshots for Tomie! Mostly for Femslash February/Kinktober events because it gives me an excuse to. And (I think!) 98% of the OFCs I write with Tomie are actual Junji Ito characters so the female characters like Izumisawa Tsukiko, Mrs. Takagi, Tanimura | Tanimura & Tanimura Tetsuya's Sister, Horie Nana, Girl In The Mansion, Chie, and Hashimoto Tomie are all from Tomie manga chapters and movies! (Chiemi is from Junji Ito's The Long Hair In The Attic manga chapter and this one is purely an OFC!)

For me, I like using the pre-existing female characters of the Junji Ito universe to interact with Tomie because it's easier for me and fun! I'll probably keep using the rest of the Tomie female characters I can find and move onto other female characters in Junji Ito's manga, and I'll keep doing oneshots. I was doing them mostly for me and my amusement so it's really lovely to see anyone reading them/commenting on them/saying they like them! Thank you!

#ask #anon #i hope you are well too nonnie!

Tomie’s True Horror

A needed disclaimer that while arguing for the sympathy for Tomie and the general avocation to see the events of Tomie as a mentally ill woman harmed, it does not mean that NPD is a naturally abusive personality like all personality disorders it is merely a severe mental illness stemming from trauma, genetics, or a combination of the two that requires general society to accept and not constantly vilify and demonize these responses.

“Murdered again and again, one girl always comes back for more…” Reads the back cover of Junji Ito’s Tomie, the breakout manga that earned him an honorable mention at the Umezu Awards and started his career. You most likely have seen Tomie without realizing it, Hot Topic has a manga panel of her on a shirt, going on Pinterest shows various tattoos of the girl making intense eye contact with the character. She is an icon of Junji Ito’s fandom and one can argue a small pop culture icon in weeb-dom. Yet it feels like no one understands the true terror of Tomie: the terrors of societies treatment of women who are traumatized and the demonification of the woman’s trauma response.

To begin we must understand the vilified trauma we first must engage in armchair psychology. Because Tomie Kawakami is not a real human being she cannot go through rigorous psychiatric evaluations but with the complete collection of Tomie in hand, one can identify a few key symptoms that lead to a potential diagnosis of PTSD and/or Narcissistic Personality Disorder. For the PTSD diagnosis we need to establish the initial stressor for PTSD symptoms to occur. One can consider the first iteration of Tomie starting in the first chapter aptly titled “Tomie” where she is a freshman in school and is brutally murdered by her classmates due to the teacher’s suggestion. The rest of the complete edition we see through her clones the life long symptoms that are associated with such an event occurring. She is hypervigilant, as demonstrated best in the “Photo” and “Mansion” Chapters where she is acutely aware and doggedly aggressive towards Tsukiko Izumisawa, having a complete breakdown due to a photo of her being passed around school and is acutely aware of her perception with the men in her life and her effect on women. This bleeds to her aggression with all the chapters of the story involving her resorting to violence as a first and last option. With Tsukiko she sends her goons to murder her, in “Waterfall Basin” she attacks and eats the men that enter into the pool, and so on. Another symptom is the risky or destructive behavior, constantly and consistently she orders men to kill certain iterations of her so she won’t have to deal with them, to put it bluntly she is engaging in severe self-harm on an absurd horror level. It also seems evident that she experiences cues that coincide with trauma, such as her aversion to photographs of her being taken; her dysfunctional relationships with others and general society. This concoction leads to the simple conclusion she has PTSD and is expressing it in a manner that is unhealthy and harmful to everyone. Furthermore, These symptoms coinciding with her general self-centered attitude that is extremely grandiose also meets the criteria of Narcissistic Personality disorder. With this concoction of mental health issues the world around Tomie is ready and willing to villify and harm the beautiful femme-fatale.

Throughout the series we see her become the victim of men and even a few women end up harming and killing her. Her existence drives men to madness due to her beauty and general existence. And readers are meant to be scared of her due to something she cannot control, she may use this to her advantage as demonstrated in “Gathering”, but she does not do it for anything sinister like replicate herself, she attacks herself often, she merely does it to… live a life of luxury. Nothing evil or vile, just something normal that a good portion of people want to do. The only difference between those people and her is the trauma and treatment for it. To reiterate, the first time readers are introduced to her is when she is murdered by her classmates for being promiscuous and having a relationship with her teacher, as a ninth grade teacher and a boy. While her cheating is not the best, she was in a naturally predatory relationship. It also needs to be stated that she does not get any real talks about her behavior and she is antagonized for her actions and is rewarded for her manipulation due to her horrifying ability to destroy men’s minds.

So how can you make a monster out of someone that only committed her actions in response to the world around her? Do we blame the children and women who experience mental health issues that stem from childhood abuse and domestic violence in Japan? The answer is sadly yes. Depending on the trauma response, we as a society demonize those with these severe trauma responses. People with personality disorders are constantly cast as the villains, as people that choose to not change, that willingly act the way that they do for their own selfish gain. While NPD is not as studied BPD a sister personality disorder in the same cluster, has tons of reports showing that even those who are supposed to help end up treating them less. For anecdotal evidence go on Reddit’s r/raisedraisedbyborderlines. r/Narcissisticabuse also shows the general reaction to those with the personality disorder. So if the world is out to get you and already casts you as the abuser. Then is it not just easier to become Tomie and get what you want through what means necessary?

Submission #2: Photographs

I was making good money fulfilling requests from classmates for a picture of their crush. But Tomie Kawakami, the transfer student and head of the Public Morality Committee, caught me.

She set me up when I was asked to take pictures of her, and she got me suspended. I got to see the pictures I took, though. She was hideous! So logically, I tossed them off the balcony and into the courtyard. Sweet revenge. Everyone saw these ugly pictures.

Example:

Yamazaki came to me in the photography lab and said Tomie wanted to kill me. And then he choked me! I would have died if I hadn't splashed developer into his eyes.

I ran home to my room, a complete mess, and mom came in saying she was going on a trip. As she walked out the door, she yelled to me, saying a friend had come to visit. It was Tomie, and she had two boys following her. Tomie spew fake apologies and delusional lies about growing up in a home designed by Gaudi in Barcelona and her artist grandfather being a friend of Picasso. I said she was a compulsively lying monster and she turned rabid, she was so insulted.

The boys ran in to defend her and tied me up like psychos. Then, her face suddenly started to grow this disgusting tumor. She screamed for them to destroy it by burning it. I felt pretty justified in my previous insults toward her, since apparently she was a monster.

I don't know how it all happened, but those dumb boys mistakenly chopped her head off. They took it with them, I guess to find somewhere to burn it. I was still tied up, though, drifting in and out of consciousness. Maybe I hallucinated this, but that night I swear I saw her headless body get right up and walk away. Laughing. Tomie must have been the devil incarnate.

The only evidence that any of this happened was the blood on my floor and walls, which wouldn't come off no matter how much I scrubbed. Instead, it grew and grew until dozens of creepy clones of Tomie were howling, clawing to be set free into the world. It was pretty annoying, and I had to move into a new house.

While rereading Tomie I've come to realize that I adore Tsukiko Izumisawa. She was so badass and wanted to see more of her. <3 Need to do fanart of her one day! My heroine!
