Time for more theories about EJ...
So he only appears in two episodes of S4 and has...very different looks in each. At first one might just think of the 4x5 appearance as a more dusty college look (colleges, especially big colleges, do not care one iota about your appearance), but...the second is going to his old high school for a musical performance to support his friends and family. There clearly isn't a dress code or anything, and more notably to my detail obsessed brain, he made a point to style his hair up.
Maybe it was intended as an innocuous detail to harken back to the first two seasons, but from a character standpoint, why would he do that? He's clearly comfortable letting it sit naturally, so why bother for that event? Thus: theory that EJ feels the need to 'perform' for the Wildcats. He puts on the image of himself they're 'used to' from when he was in school, styles his hair that way, dresses with a button up in place of a more comfy outfit, etc. His insecurities are such that he can't let on to his old friends that anything is wrong or he's anything less than 'same old EJ'. It's Hella depressing, but it feels accurate somehow.
Bonus that he wasn't as uptight about himself around Ricky, almost as though he trusts Ricky enough to let his guard down, almost as though he cares more for Ricky than the others...I'm a Caswen shipper starved for content, what can I say?
Anyway, it's just more content as to EJ mastering masking his depression because he feels as though he'd be burdening the people who care about him otherwise. This man needs ten billion hugs, a boatload of therapy, and preferably a boyfriend named Richard who will dote on him till the sun explodes.
Plus, y'know, would've been a cool concept to explore in S4, college students masking depression and insecurity around their old high school. But het romance #6, pointless Freshman character, and biphobia were all far more important plotlines, right?

finally watched alice in borderland & i think it’s very fucking sick and twisted that they cast sakurada dori as niragi. like the character is pure evil and he is great in the role, he plays it super sleazy and disgusting and irredeemable from beginning to end. but he is so handsome and attractive to look at it confuses my brain like wires are getting crossed somewhere in there and i don’t like it
