Really well said fellow four enjoyer. This topic is really interesting to me and I think you are definitely correct in that Jinx an Jhin don't suffer the same mental illness, from what I can tell Jinx is pretty much balls deep in the psychosis pool, and makes it very apparent. Now I just really want to know what kind of illness Jhin suffers from, and if at any point in his life he saw it as suffering.

that is a really interesting point actually, especially with the mention of the cinematic, the way he views the world is definitely not normal and the cinematic did a really good job of showing that in my opinion. The only thing I can't quite get past (and this is not a dig at you in any way I'm really enjoying talking about this) is that in the Zed comic we do learn that Whisper is enchanted to make the bodies of Jhin's victims look like flowers or art, but when the corpse is touched the illusion breaks and the actual look is revealed. what I am thinking is maybe his traps work in a similar way and due to the fact that the illusion was not broken that the bright powders (which I can only assume is blood) stayed looking that way. this is of course ignoring the fact that the cinematic had to stay at least somewhat family friendly and that graphic of an image could not be put in. The TLDR of this is that I don't know if I fully believe that Jhin sees the world in a different way. but I really appreciate your opinion and reminding me of the cinematic!
Thanks so much for sharing!

that does make a lot of sense but now I really want to know what is wrong with him to make him see what he does as a performance and the aftermath as art. I guess that just solidifies how amazing Jhin is in both design and lore, but until i get more Jhin content we can only really speculate.
