the mundane

I can't help but to ask the question of what it’s like to be the main hero(s) and then fall into the normality of an endless routine once the big bad is no more. Do they miss the thrill of not knowing if they will make it out alive? Do they miss not having peace? Do they secretly wish for evil to return? The whiplash must be really, really hard to cope with at times.

Yu likes Yosuke's short hair...

I never draw comics, but here's one. I like yosukes short hair, so I know narukami would too.

i will literally never be able to hate akechi, bc when i look at him, all i see is that little boy who loved his mother more than anything, who wanted to be a hero, a good person, to be kind.

and then he experienced nothing but pain and suffering after his mom died (and even before she died, their life wasn’t great), and hardened into the worst version of himself over the years, someone he never even wanted to be.

he was used and abused and neglected and manipulated by every adult in his life, including his mother (bc yes, while i’m sure she absolutely loved him and did her best, she absolutely neglected him when she was alive).

i honestly don’t get how i couldn’t feel overwhelming sympathy for someone like that, who deserved so so sooooo much better than that.

“oh but he killed ppl and-“ i actually, genuinely, dgaf 😭 and clearly, neither does akiren, considering how much he pines and cares for the guy lmao.

I will not be reprising my role in the Persona 4 remake.

This is due to the fact I am not a voice actor, developer, artist or work in quality assurance and have never been involved in the production of any persona game

[afuzzykitten]

[afuzzykitten]

I drew this Yukari at midnight last night without a ref and tbh I think she looks pretty decent ^^

grieving your guiding light (missed maruki deadline ending)

(Not Shipping)

optional thoughts yapping about this:

There is something about the missed deadline ending that reminds me deeply of Rumi with the way Ren wakes up and has a hazy memory like Rumi did.

Maruki puts Ren on a weird high horse, something i’d say even close to worshipping. Maruki’s palace has religious undertones as is, picturing Rumi as his “Eve,” and he pictures Ren as his “guiding light.” He willingly put the continued existence of a Utopia onto a teenage boy who he knew had a sentimental heart. He manipulated him by showing him that if he didn’t accept the reality then he’s ripping his friends away of happiness, and then the disgusting act of using Akechi’s “corpse” and using him as an “it” to basically say “the blood is on your hands.”

Anyways, Maruki has weak morals. The “don’t throw away your mask” song repeats “don’t sleep through dreams that can come true,” and yet, the moment Ren was too much trouble, he convinced himself that putting him in permanent sleep purgatory was the way to his happiness. He acts high and mighty about what is right, what is suffering, what is happiness, yet he fails to have a solid thinking of what “justice” is, unlike the phantom thieves and Akechi. NCP dialogue throughout third semester reveals many contradictions in the reality. His reality is faulty at best and it will continue to contradict on top of itself over and over until it’s a giant mush.

Because he genuinely convinced himself this was the best thing to do, I see him grieving over Ren, in a sense. Even in the ending he says “i wanted you to accept this gift with your own free will.” It’s not like he necessarily wanted to do this to Ren, but he believes he is “selfless” enough to do so.

He lost Ren, his light to his research. And he lost Rumi, the person who he created a perfect world for. The moment he realized Rumi couldn’t remember her trauma, he decided right then and there that he would not remind her of it, and clarified her as something he “lost.” He sees forgetting as happiness, so truly, he has no problem with “sleeping through dreams that can come true.” And I don’t think it would stop at Ren, why would it? The moment someone’s issues contradict with another, the easiest solution is something like Ren’s state. His reality will have no actual life eventually. A psychological murder of the human race.

Placing this much expectation on a teenage boy is all in all gross, and he was too reliant on him. He confided in a young boy and got attached. He sickeningly grieves over what “had to happen” with Ren, falling in self pity. And that’s what happened with Rumi, aka falling into a self pitying of “losing her” when it was his own doings. But he fully, genuinely believes he lost both of them.

This is not to say I think Maruki is obsessed over him in this ending; far far from it, he has other issues to attend to and a whole reality to create. If anything, he forgets him at some point. But at the beginning, I can see him visiting a couple times, or looking over him from afar like a God would. But Rumi will forever be engraved in his palace, and I think Ren would be too, with them both being the reasons why Maruki could create this reality.

I can also get into how him seeing Ren’s desire and grief for Akechi also reminds me of Maruki and Rumi but that’s a can of worms for another day lmao

LALA-CHAN MY BELOVED

YEAAAAA

[afuzzykitten]

Love these two~ They're so obsessed with each other X3

[afuzzykitten]

I've been playing a bunch of Persona 5 lately and having an absolute blast.

I feel this represents the experience so far quite well.

[afuzzykitten]

AAAAAAAAA LETS GOOOOOOOOO WE'RE WINNING TODAYYYY

I KNOW I NEVER MAKE MY OWN POSTS HERE BUT !!!!

[afuzzykitten]

I think sometimes authors forget that Futaba canonically listens to everything so whenever I read a fic where shuake starts flirting and making out in Leblanc this is how I picture Futaba in her room

[afuzzykitten]

IS THIS IT ARE WE GETTING P5X GLOBAL

[afuzzykitten]

haiii first time doing this ahem ok let’s go

I don’t. Understand the Morgana hate at ALL. Yes, he forces you to go to bed early. Yes, he can be a bit annoying, and is rude to Ryuji, and crushes on Ann. But that doesn’t mean he has character development and is the worst character?? I feel like people blatantly ignore his deep talks with Joker, AND the fact that he truly does respect Ann as a person. I’ve seen people call him misogynistic which is WILD to me.

i will defend morgana the little kitty cat guy and enjoy his character no matter what the community says
