A dream he forgot.

Maruki's first act as God restoring Akechi just 5 feet from Joker is funny as fuck. He couldve tested his powers with anything else but he led with that. I bet he was mad as hell Akechi decided to go with Sae immediately instead of spending Christmas with Joker. When u set up the perfect fanfic scenario but ur characters have a mind of their own

imagine being in love with your boyfriend RIVAL leading to such an elementary oversight

extra akiren :3c

very VERY early in development, but i wanted to advertise my work in progress of a shuake VN!!

In case goroboys haven’t noticed yet, Goro’s tie and school badge symbolizes his 2 personas. Where the tie and badge are placed is also worth noting.

Goro’s tie is Loki that is tied around his neck. A symbolization of suffocation. He uses Loki to cause mental shutdowns and psychotic breakdowns, going down a revenge path of no return.

Goro’s badge is RobinHood that is placed where his heart is. Despite how corrupt he is now, this probably means that deep down he’s still a kid at heart who wanted to play hero. His weapons being a toy ray gun and lightsaber shows it.

This also means that RobinHood is the very first persona that he awakened to. For further proof, note that 3rd tier personas are modern versions of the user’s 1st personas. Hereward is Batman RobinHood.

i love yuri

pretend i posted this on june 2nd

see under the cut for extras and the reference!

i had the power to make sloppy edits so i did lol. i love anhane thank you for making this possible (i traced some elements)

[miitokii]

aahhh i’m glad it’s even reread worthy lol thank u!! 💖💖

yess that’s exactly it!! hehe :) since usual the angel defends other people from the devil but here it’s Goro who’s the guilty one. that Devil’s Angel’s advocate thing is brilliant also

though i can see Robin being the defence and arguing that Goro had no choice when it came to his father and mother which does not absolve him of guilt but makes his actions understandable and sympathetic, whilst Loki as prosecutor argues to embrace and revel in the guilt for the sake of his revenge

but this way by making the ‘angel’ the prosecutor it’s more like Goro (sees himself as) irredeemable, because only a devil will defend him, and a righteous attorney is the one accusing him. so it kinda gives me self-hatred too lol

then there’s his respect for Sae, his desire for a just legal system, his more heroic childhood dreams, all of that’s in Robin. like he’s trying to painfully reconcile the fact that he’s become a part of the unjust system he despises

also like Goro is just full of contradictions. his psyche must be too lol

Its so funny to see Goro fighting to keep his (spiteful) grip on his sanity the whole fic

Pov: uve never drawn Goro b4 and i also cant draw jackets so i hope it turned out alright haha. Also its 4:30am lol

Hope u like the gift ^^

AAHHHH THANK YOU SO MUCCHHH THIS IS AMAZING

i really really love their expressions: Loki just being a mischievous snark, Robin trying to remain righteous through his disapproval, and Goro in the middle pretending everything is definitely very ok

it turned out amazing!! seriously thank you so much!! if you don’t mind can i link to it in chapter 15 of my fic (and the newest one once it comes out… eventually) everyone needs to see how BEAUTIFUL THIS IS

[miitokii]

of course! ^^

drawing is a great way to relax i’m glad it helps :)

thanks! i realised i lied when i said chapter 15, i meant chapter 10 so that’s where i’ll link it

also i love the devil angel thing it gave me inspo too, but also because usually you would expect the angel to be the defence attorney yet Robin’s the prosecutor

Its so funny to see Goro fighting to keep his (spiteful) grip on his sanity the whole fic

Pov: uve never drawn Goro b4 and i also cant draw jackets so i hope it turned out alright haha. Also its 4:30am lol

Hi i loved your akechi art! Are your dms open to chat about persona 5? :D

hi thank you so much! yeah i’d love to :D though heads up i’m kinda bad at socialising so sorry in advance

So I was reading the P5R Art Book I got (with the help of Google Translate akjdsf), when I got to the section showing off the Faith and The Councilor cards. And...

Creator's Comment-- "...The Advisor looks like the Sun, but is actually Mars..."

...holy shit. That gave me pause.

Because, as someone who is an avid student of The Tarot and understands the symbolic significance of Mars, I finally realized...

IT'S THE HECKING TOWER. MARUKI IS THE TOWER DISGUISED AS THE SUN.

The Sun is associated with exactly what it says on the tin-- representing the light of the soul, joy, and warmth in both Tarot and in Astrology. Conversely The Tower card is associated with astrological Mars-- the planet of War and Destruction. More importantly, The Tower represents the hand of fate violently destroying foundations once thought to be stable. Dismantling any constructed sense of control a person has, humbling them and forcing them to start over with a clean slate.

Look at the people falling from the top of The Councilor card just like how they do in The Tower card. Seeing those sad people fall may look like a hint to Maruki being not all that he seems but, when you tie that to the symbolic meaning of The Tower, it goes from a wink and a nod to a straight up spoiler for his entire character arc!

Maruki has constructed this happy facade that needs to be brought crumbling down, not just for the sake of the world being held mercy by his delusions, but for his own healing journey to actually begin.

And even if you just look at it literally-- Maruki's final boss fight is punctuated by his giant tower-like Palace shattering and him nearly falling to his death if not for Joker catching him in time!

IT'S HECKING BRILLIANT. WAAGH!!!

To go even further-- I also love how the Faith card (both versions) are obviously a fusion of imagery from The Hierophant and The Devil cards.

I don't have as coherent an argument to make here, but there are definitely implications.

The fact that The Hierophant card is also known as 'The Teacher', and that The Councilor card even takes the place of The Hierophant in one deck, makes me think that this is hinting at Maruki's influence over 'Kasumi'... and how she overcomes it.

It could also represent Sumire's relationship with the real Kasumi. (Note how the devils in the reversed Faith card are smiling as they parade around a corpse; meanwhile in the true Faith card, where the High Priest is alive and well, the servants look disheartened/depressed by the reality of their situation.)

Tying it back to Maruki again-- it is said that the titular tower on The Tower card is one built by The Devil. It is the beautiful lie that we build to hide an ugly truth. Maruki destroys 'Kasumi's beautiful lie when he forces her to remember that she's actually Sumire. Then in turn, Sumire destroys Maruki's beautiful lie when she shows him that overcoming her ugly truth wasn't only possible- but is how she became her best self.

"So you truly don't want it, huh? ...Looks like I'm totally finished."

hereward is the only ultimate persona that is a fusion of two separate personas rather than an evolution of a singular persona
