#Ryuji headcanons

[bruxairacunda]

So I was thinking today that I have this headcanon that Ryuji is a GREAT hugger. And of course he would love hugging his friends, just for the sake of making them feel better.

At a certain point he becomes the one to go to when any of the Phantom Thieves needs a hug, and he'll do it gladly. A hug from Ryuji makes you feel like your skin is clear, your crops are watered, and everything is gonna be fine.

I can totally picture him just opening his arms a little bit and shrugging whenever he sees any of the PT feeling down and them just going to Ryuji to get one of his much needed hugs. He won't even ask or force anyone to speak about what troubling them, just a silent tight hug.

[tsorrow]

persona 5 headcanons i have because this game makes me insane (affectionate)

Ren and Akechi are both insomniacs

Ren develops a HUGE phobia of needles post interrogation. he pretty much has to stop helping Takemi with her research because of it. doctors visits are a nightmare and he can’t even explain why

Ryuji’s knee would occasionally give out in Palaces. he would try and tough it out until they got to a safe room. once Futaba joined the team, she figured out pretty damn quick what was going on and ushered them to a safe room whenever it happened. Ryuji never put the dots together.

Ren and Ryuji have asked Yusuke to make fake IDs for them.

follow up: Sojiro would be a “i’d rather you drink in the house” type of dad, but he isn’t with Ren purely because it would be a violation of his probation (not like PT shenanigans weren’t but you get the picture)

After Shiho’s attempt, Ann started checking in on everyone’s mental health a lot more often. no one really noticed except for Ryuji (since he’s known her the longest) but he didn’t mention it.

Ryuji and Akechi had a long conversation about Featherman ONCE (mostly cause Akechi was insanely sleep-deprived at the time). it was the closest the two ever got to bonding and they never mentioned it again

Iwai was weirdly relieved when he figured out Ren was a Phantom Thief because before that, he could not for the LIFE of him figure out why a 16 year old boy wanted THIS MANY model guns. did it make much more sense? no. but at least it was a better reason than other criminal activity (as if Iwai didn’t accidentally pull Ren into yakuza business but shhhh)

for a while, Futaba and Ren were effectively fighting for custody over Mona. They eventually settled on a schedule Mona did not follow, much to both parties dismay

Makoto bakes and is really good at it. she’s the designated baker for everyone’s birthday

Haru will frequently mention something she’s done that seems benign to her, only to be met with stares of disbelief from everyone else (she forgets she’s rich)

follow up: Haru will also say the most batshit thing in the sweetest voice that throws EVERYONE off.

double follow up: she’s the only Phantom Thief Akechi is even close to genuinely afraid of (scary Haru my beloved 🫶)

when Futaba got access to Akechi’s phone, she would occasionally just fuck with small settings for funsies. it caused Akechi so much distress at such a bad time

Futaba also has a backup of Ren and Akechi’s text messages to use as blackmail later.

[velvet-gloom]

Why the Phantom Thieves are banned from Dave & Buster’s

(Don’t take these too seriously, I’m just shitposting with no serious thought or edits)

Makoto: Roundhouse kicked a 40-year-old guy who tried to hit on Futaba and sent him to the ER

Futaba: Hacked the speakers and played unhinged nightcore dubstep remixes, was asked to stop, and proceeded to bass boost them

Akechi: Was one point away from setting the record on their DDR machine before he fucked up and proceeded to punch the screen hard enough to break it

Haru: Got WAY too into a game of laser tag, several children left crying

Ryuji: You know that one clip of the dude letting go of the bowling ball way too late and hitting the ceiling and breaking the sprinklers, flooding the whole place? That. He did that.

Ren: Used his third eye to play the rigged claw machines and beat their 1 millimeter margin of error, emptying two full machines worth of prizes before being asked to leave

Morgana: Was a cat

Yusuke: Was so appalled by the food that he snuck into their kitchen to prove he could make something more appetizing and more aesthetically pleasing. Got halfway done before getting thrown out

Shiho, who’s totally a canon member of the Phantom Thieves and always has been: Immediately helped Yusuke break back into the kitchen to finish the food. Also befriended a heard of 12-year-olds and had them distract security to buy more time

Sumire: The only one who’s still allowed in, but hasn’t had much reason to go since Akechi broke the DDR machine

Ann: Tried convincing the manager to let everyone back in, which ended in a shouting match after the manager turned out to be an asshole

[i-need-a-slurpee]

My best friend and I came up with a stupid little concept for our silly little "akechi lives don't ask how though" persona 5 AU

So you know how middle school and high schoolers use codenames with their best friends to talk about other people in public. Like referring to someone's crush as "pineapple" we were thinking that akira does that but since they already have codenames he just switches everyone's codenames down one in order of who joined. We used a whiteboard to illustrate what kind of shenanigans could ensue

I'm gonna write down everything that was on the board in case it's difficult to understand when looking at the picture

A key to all the symbols

-> are Akechi's thoughts

On its own are things that are said

Codenames: Akira - Violet, Ryuji - Joker, Morgana - Skull, Ann - Mona, Yusuke- Panther, Makoto - Fox, Futaba - Queen, Haru - Oracle, Akechi - Noir, Sumi - Crow. The only people who know and understand the codename switch are Ann, Akira and Ryuji and they use it to gossip

The fun begins when we decided to torture Akechi by having him accidently overhear almost every conversation where these confusing nicknames are used.

Akechi overhears:

Akira: omg Noir is so cute

-> cries and calls Ann

[This is the phone call Akechi has with Ann, which is labeled with 3 on the whiteboard:

Akechi: heyyy Ann so funny story um does Akira like...yknow...like Noir? Haru?

Ann, knowing the truth and thinking this is the funniest thing ever: omg yea girl he totally for real likes Noir

Akechi, wanting to die a lil bit: haha cool thats great thx bye]

"Queen is gonna ask out Crow"

-> gag, ew, distance from Makoto bc omg WHY

"Fox and Oracle are dating"

-> ?? I thought Oracle was a lesbian??

"Shujin is gonna fall apart now that Fox left"

-> he went?? to Kosei?? hello??

Akira: "Skull is so heavy T^T like he decides fo sleep right on my ribs it hurts"

-> ?????

Akira: "so yea I'm gonna ask Noir to go to the jazz club tonight, since it's like, our place, yknow"

-> WHAT THE FUCK.

-> (gets a text from akira to go to the jazz club 2 minutes later)

4. Akechi rants to sumi about it cause he doesn't trust ann anymore

☆ has a detective board with w/ quotes ect.

☆ sumi also tries to help (even more confused than he is)

Ann: violet needs to ask noir out already

Ryuji: I know dude, like I love the guy but, c'mon

-> SUMI'S IN ON IT TOO T^T

Akira does this needlessly complicated name system just to be messy. He doesn't plan on akechi finding out but he keeps it complicated in case any of the others overhear him. He didn't think the possibility of akechi overhearing was very high but Akechi loves to eavesdrop.

love triangle with ren & ryuji

pairing: ren amamiya / akira kurusu / joker x gn!reader x ryuji sakamoto / skull

tags: friendly rivalry, supportive friends, ryuji is bad at flirting, charming!ren, mentions of food, giving gifts to reader

ren and ryuji have a friendly rivalry over you!

neither of them want to ruin their friendship over their crush on you, but they both don't want to resign and let the other one win

when ren confessed to ryuji that he liked you, the two boys actually talked about it and decided there wouldn't be any hard feelings, no matter who you choose!

they can't force you to love them, but they certainly can try to win you over with gifts, charming words and other things!

ryuji is rather awkward and blunt when it comes to flirting with you. he'll blurt out “you've got a new haircut–!” before actually complimenting you on it

meanwhile ren is pretty smooth and knows just what to say to compliment your looks and personality, without seeming too ingratiating

ren isn't above teaching ryuji some smooth flirt lines either! though occasionally he sneaks in some bad ones, just for his own amusement…

ryuji always has food on him for you! he read once in some magazine that food is the way to a person's heart, so he keeps snacks on him and always invites you to lunch with him!

ren is more the type to buy you pretty things. a necklace, bracelet or anything else that would look good on you!

Gaining lots of appreciation for the adhd guy and autism guy dynamic

[yakuzacanons]

Heyo can i have general headcanons on how the boys would react to hand holding for the first time before they officially started dating their s/o?

HeYO this one has been a long time comin so we are tackling it today. The hcs themselves will be pretty short since this is gonna be long list of boys but if you want more details on a specific guy or guys, just lemme know!

Kiryu Kazuma

It's 50/50 whether he'll take the lead on the hand holding or let you lead. Either way, he doesn't really say much during the event but internally he's like "Oh boy, this is serious now". You might catch him smiling a little too. If you ask him about it, he'll say it's nothing but his smile will only get bigger, as will yours.

Majima Goro

Most likely of all the boys to grab your hand out of the heat of the moment, either of a romantic or threatening kind. It's even more likely to happen if he's trying to protect you, in which he'll just instinctually grab your hand and start walking, only to realize a few feet later than he's doing that. Then he'll suddenly stop and be like "Whoops. Well, too late to stop holdin' yer hand now, huh?"

Saejima Taiga

He's more likely to let you decide when to start holding hands unless it's wintertime. The man is a total cuddle bug when the weather gets cold and would honestly hold your hand under the guise of keeping them warm. If you need a human heater, he's your guy.

Akiyama Shun

Out of all the boys, he's the most likely to initiate hand holding or really any physical intimacy before being in an official relationship because he is a SIMP with a capital S. Don't mistake that for being slimy though, he's a very romantic handholder and it'll be the sappiest sweetest moment.

Tanimura Masayoshi

Honestly, he starts holding your hand by accident! Very meet cute, like he'll be helping you down from a high up spot and just hold onto your hand for too long. He's a bit boyish so something like this might happen before he even confesses his feelings to you. This event might actually just lead to a confession in of itself.

Ryuji Goda

Shockingly for as much of a playboy he can be, hand holding is something Ryuji doesn't do super often unless it's someone he is very serious about. The man takes physical gestures like that pretty seriously. Knowing him, it'll be complete with a romantic and lavish dinner to match. It'll also probably be the moment he asks you to make the relationship official too.

Nishikiyama Akira

Opposite of Ryuji in that this little flirt be holding hands with just about anyone. Still, that doesn't make it any less cute when he starts holding hands with you. In fact, if YOU initiate the hand holding, he might die of cuteness. He'll totally try to hide it with a smart remark but you can see him blushing and he knows it.

Daigo Dojima

Our Daigo has more sexual than romantic experience so he's kind of hesitant to take the lead. More likely to let you initiate physical intimacy unless he's feeling particularly overwhelmed by his feelings. If you two haven't held hands, he'll definitely be holding yours when he asks you to take things to the next level.

Mine Yoshitaka

King of hand holding, the man will be holding your hand right off the bat once you two realize you're more than friends. Also king of rubbing his thumb over yours or squeezing your hand. Man isn't much of a talker but he's fluent in body language.

Tatsuo Shinada

This dork will honestly end up holding your hand while he's trying to show you someplace, probably on a date. He knows all kinds of neat hole-in-the-wall restaurants so he'll just casually be like "Here, take my hand!" while taking you out someplace.

Kashiwagi Osamu

Gentleman is the first word that comes to mind when describing how Kashiwagi goes about getting physical in a relationship. He isn't afraid to initiate it exactly but he'll definitely wait until he can be pretty sure you'd be okay with certain things. He won't make a lot of fuss about it, one day he'll just casually and gently slip his hand into yours. It'll be so natural you might not even realize how big of a deal it is until after the fact.

Ichiban Kasuga

Before the relationship is official, this man ain't initiating jack fuckin shit cuz he's the most anxious boy in the world. Constantly worried he'll upset you or he's being too forward. Having said that, if you start holding his hand one day, he'll blush so hard that you'll be worried that his face won't return to its normal color.

Tianyou Zhao

This stinky little multi-ring wearing boy is the KING of hand holding in ways you can't imagine. Also loves to take your hand only to pull you closer, it's very flirtatious and ungodly cute. That's probably how the two of you start holding hands anyways, you'll be out on the town on a date as you normally would and suddenly he's got your hand in his and he's tugging you to walk a little closer to him, all with that mischevious grin on his face.

Joon-Gi Han

Similar to Ichiban but with less painfully obvious nervousness. He understands what constitutes intimacy but is just unsure when or where is the right time to start doing certain things. Unlike Ichiban, Joon-Gi is still likely to start holding your hand on his own accord. It'll likely be a private and quiet moment between the two of you, maybe eating a snack on the pier while the sun is setting. He won't say much, just interlace his fingers with yours in peace.

Yu Nanba

Bit shy when it comes to intimacy before a relationship is official. He's kind of old fashioned, somewhat due to his older age. A very sweet hand holder, he might actually just straight up ask out loud if he can hold your hand. Things like this are very small, quiet moments for Nanba but trust me, it's still a big deal even if he isn't saying it.

Koichi Adachi

This man would love nothing more than to hold your hand but like Ichiban, he is not sure if he's got the rizz for that. If he's drunk enough, he'll just start doing it honestly. However, if you start holding his hand first, he'll try to be all coy and say things like "Huh? If you wanted to hold my hand so bad, why didn't you just say something" but inside he's like "Oh hell yes."

Eric Tomizawa

Despite having had quite a bit of romantic experience, he's a little shy during the starting stages and is actually more comfortable later down the line. Similar vibe to Shinada actually in that he'll likely be going somewhere on a date with you and the both of you get lost. He'll give you that little grumpy, sassy sigh and grab your hand all while saying "C'mon, let's go this way." but really he's just trying hard to disguise how much his heart is beating out of his chest.

Yamai Yutaka

This son of a bitch is so smooth that you'll be so busy getting swept off your feet that you might not even notice he's started holding your hand. He's like Zhao in that he can be a bonafide flirt when he feels like turning on the charm, only difference is Yamai has more years under his belt. Probably will complete the whole thing by giving you a kiss on the hand too.

[akeppi]

little does he know that he will soon incite the beginning of a giant polycule with almost every single one of the phantom thieves

(Hey I'm back after 300 years

Anyways take a P5 x Reader headcanon thing AHSYJSJRIDHKS)

Persona 5 Thieves x Reader

Cuddling and what they're up for

--------

Ren/Akira is mostly indifferent with it, but bro is down for anything. Snuggles? Sure. Basic cuddles? Of course. Lap cuddles? Fuck it why not. And he's damn good at it too. Protagonist power goes nuts.

Ryuji is kinda nervous about it at first but he gets used to it. Sleeps on your shoulder at least weekly and at most after five weeks.

(Platonic) Morgana is a cat. Daily.

Ann is the type of girl to say she likes to cuddle and only knows basic cuddling. You hold her and she holds you. She's alright at it, but it's her voice that does it in. It just feels so soothing.

Yusuke sees cuddling as an art form once you introduce him to it. You two will cuddle in the most extravagant poses for no reason. Not much else to it.

Makoto is incredibly inexperienced and incredibly nervous. But when she learns you will get lap cuddles all day. She likes to play with your hair and it's instantly relaxing.

Futaba is just all over you, she loves it. Whether it's because she had a stressful day or what have you. You are always the big spoon, no objections. She falls asleep instantly.

Haru is avid in cuddling. She reads a lot of romance books so she knows a thing or two. She's strong, but gentle. She is always the big spoon and whispers sweet nothings in your ear. She'll ask if you want her to give you head scratches or anything while she holds you. 10/10.

Akechi is... an interesting case. Pancake boy Akechi is always willing, but Murder Death Akechi will tell you no, straight up. He's a Two Face. Depends on the day. He holds you protectively even though there's nobody but you and him. You will not escape.

Sumire is a mix of Ann and Makoto. Super nervous at first, but says she likes to yet only knows basic cuddling. Her voice helps too, it sounds really sweet. That and she'll give you positive affirmation.

More headcanon designs! The Phantom Thieves!!!!! I have more p5 headcanon designs on my Instagram.

Note: I used official artwork to draw over and design it all. EXCEPT!! Sophia and Zenkichi!! My cool online bro @kwoomochi designed base art for me to use, that I drew over for those two. As well as some other designs that I didn't post here. I don't claim the poses at my own at all, thanks.

[seireitonin]

Toby and Ryuji :3

I lied. I’m elaborating. Ever since I made the comparison I can’t stop thinking about it. Anyway here’s some reasons I think they are similar. Yes I’m obsessed with the Persona series especially Persona 5. Yes I’m obsessed with Creepypasta. Yes I’m mixing my special interests together. Enjoy.

Both have abusive fathers

Both were labeled as “troublemakers”and acted the part because that’s all they knew

Both are hyper and upbeat and “not that smart” (kastoway called Toby an “idiot”) and Ryuji is kinda dumb in a funny way

Vulgar language and slang

Protective over the people they love (Ryuji: the Phantom Thieves, Toby: anyone he’s close to ex: Lyra, his mom, his friends etc)

Outcasts/ bullied at school

People think they’re both “violent or monsters” for being abused (ex: in the game Ryuji punches one of his teachers (deserved!❤️) and instantly everyone called him “violent” and said “he picked up violent habits from his abusive dad” (which is not true!! Ryuji is not an abuser!) and people irl do the same with Toby. People say Toby is an abusive person to people he cares about because he had an abusive dad and picked up his dad’s habits to justify saying that. (Not only is this not true bc he used to be in a healthy relationship with clockwork, and loved his mom and sister and defended them, but it just demonizes abuse victims which is fucked up)

Both are skinny and tall

Wild messy hair

Amazing designs

Goofy

Both are DISABLED (Ryuji has a limp because his leg got broken my his teacher permanently messing up his leg. Toby has CIPA and Tourettes among other things)

They both have masks that cover the upper part of their face kinda?? (Toby’s goggles and Ryuji mask)

Although they’re both upbeat and goofy kastoway said Toby is crueler with his humor

They both work with a group of people who wear masks lol

Both have no filter

I’m sure there’s other stuff I’m not thinking of but that’s all I got rn

They’d probably get along!!

I love these goofy guys ❤️

Ryuji Sakamoto Relationship Headcanons!

He never actually confessed. It was clear he had feelings by how he stumbled over his words and backed out of saying something, but you knew.

It was you who took initiative, asking him how he felt.

It still took him a bit to figure out how to say it.

His love language is very physical. He can hardly stop himself from touching you in whatever way.

Always latching onto you with hugs, pressing his face against you or holding your face into his.

His fingers running through your hair, or even just ruffling it to tease you is something you quickly get used to.

Kisses are a near constant. Whether it's deep hot and heavy make out sessions, or a quick peck on the cheek before you part ways, he craves your lips.

His touching even ranges to the inappropriate groping or caressing, but never if it makes you uncomfortable. He only does it if he knows you're okay with it.

That won't stop him from staring at his leisure though. His eyes are scanning you all the time, especially if you're in beach-wear or something of the such.

Ryuji is almost always making sure you know exactly how good you look. Compliments are another of his favorite things to give you.

He tries to get you into working out with him. Not because he wants to change your physique, but because he loves it, and wants you to include you in that.

Insistent that you're eating right, he'll take you out to get ramen or sushi all the time. Going on dates with you gives him such elation.

Late night texts will come in from Ryuji. Ranging from the quick "Love ya babe" to the long conversations he'll start, just because he loves talking to you.

He could sit there on the phone with you for hours, talking until his face hurts from smiling so much.

If anything is ever bringing you down, he'll be there. Regardless of what he's doing, he'll drop just about anything to comfort you.

Either trying to cheer you up or simply holding you close and making sure you know that he's going to protect you. That you'll be alright, because he's got you.

He'll always stick up for you. No matter what, he's on your side. He'll chase someone off, or bitch someone out if they dare to make you uncomfortable.

He sees it as his job to protect you. Regardless of what the situation, he sees his ability to protect you as his shining ability. Through thick and thin, he will be there to keep you safe.

[teisubrainrot]

All the main Daigo ships can comfortably fit simultaneously at the same timeline over the years and it’s beautiful (Yakuza Spoilers)

ShinaDai: high schooler realizes he’s gay (TM) and has a secret crush on the only classmate that treats him fairly and friendly, does a silly little academic sacrifice for him. Then never really forgets him and seeks him out years later (Limbo between Y0-Y1 and Y5)

MasaDai (yes its main, fight me): majorly pissed 20something year old emo punk old outta juvie meets another majorly pissed 20something year old emo goth and manages to rizz his insecure ass with natural charisma and being fair and nonjudgmental towards anyone, and they hate their dads (multiple) and listen to Pierce the Veil together or sth idk. Masato abruptly ends contact after the New Year Accident and resurfaces years later as a damn politician with a wrongly placed hate towards all yakuza (Kiryu-in-prison-limbo and Y7)

RyuDai: not really deep feelings but more like ‘oh god this fucking guy I hate him so much I can’t stop thinking about him and his huge tits’. Literally ‘I’m both intimidated and aroused’ when fighting the damn dragon. Big confused someone help his gay ass (Y2)

MineDai: quite frankly needs no explanation, but ye, undersocialized man with fucked up philosophy on life meets someone who’s… nice to him? doesn’t want anything from him? their interactions are not transactions?? GOD OF A MAN I’LL DEVOTE MY LIFE TO YOU. Meanwhile Daigo, being just over 30 years old and placed in a very stressful position almost all alone becomes smitten with this awkward dude that’s like the only person his age he can be close to in this hellhole. Textbook example of skinny love as Daigo probably kept overthinking what if he mistakes just platonic feels and loyalty for romantic affection and quite frankly wonders if a Chairman should date a subordinate. Mine probably didn’t even realize what he was feeling was love until near the end of the game or/and didn’t even attempt to make a move because he considered what he was already getting from Daigo to be more than he deserves anyway. Then cue the shooting and the rest is history yadda yadda (Y3)

all canon trust me

[waywardnajsepticeye]

P5 HEADCANONS, GO

OH GOD-

A classic one. Akira has autism.

Ann, Haru and Makoto are in a polycule.

Futaba is asexual.

Ryuji and Yusuke are dating.

Akechi likes tiger sharks (I wonder why....)

Akira has siblings (the other persona protags), but everyone assumed that he was an only child.

Morgana tries to stand on his hind legs to try to be "human". It's fucking funny.

(Royal) Sumire likes to knit. She knitted sweaters for all the PTs.

Akechi's favourite name to call Akira is darling. And if you consider Royal, Akira calls Akechi the Black Prince instead of the Detective Prince.

[agalnamedlunasea]

Was thinking about cane user headcanons... idk why but they make me happy

[frickingnerd]

being in a poly relationship with ren amamiya and ryuji sakamoto

pairing: ren amamiya / akira kurusu x gn!reader x ryuji sakamoto

tags: wholesome fluff, established relationship, pegoryu

people always have the wrong idea about ren and ryuji, believing them to be dangerous troublemakers! so when they see how soft the two of them get around you, it confuses the hell out of people!

ren and ryuji both wear their hearts on their sleeves! it's why people end up getting the wrong idea about them, but that also means they're not shy about their feelings for you either!

you'll always be reminded by them how much they love you and care about you! of course, they'll remind each other as well that they care about one another!

the three of you have a group chat with each other, where ryuji always sends silly and wholesome memes that remind him of you and ren!

ann is the biggest supporter of your relationship and while she was ryuji's friend first, she's always on your side and makes sure the boys (mostly ryuji) treat you well!

and he does! ryuji loves to borrow you his graphic t-shirts, his heart melting everytime you wear one of them!

he's not really the type to know what kind of romantic gifts to make his partner, so lending you his clothes is his way of showing affection!

ren also likes to make you wear his glasses, whenever you're wearing ryuji's shirts, so you can have something from both of them!

the two boys got pictures of you in ryuji's shirt and ren's glasses as their lockscreens and like to show off those pictures to the other phantom thieves, to gush about how cute you are!
