beksiński and kaja for the ask game

beksiński: what was/is your own personal brand of teenage edgelordhood?

Honestly. I was the type to make jokes like "I tripped on the road of life" or "I fell down the pit of my soul" when people saw me with bandaids on my face (I picked at my acne) asked me what happened. Also I drew bloody fanart of niche games, as one does, and hanged out with my cousin who was unirocally staging an international coup. It was mostly the bloody fanart tho

kaja: show us your favourite poster (for anything)!

Oh this one is difficult, also hate how my first thought was the key visual for loghora s3 (not in fact my favourite poster, but I really like the style it's done in + and the two. Topmost characters. Yes it's about that). Hm I suppose it'd be this one (reverse 1999 CN poster for the greenlake event). Simple but effective. I want it as a postcard.

Persona 5 for the top 3 ask game?

Thank you!!!

3 male characters I love:

Takuto Maruki ❤️❤️❤️

Yusuke Kitagawa

Ryuji Sakamoto

3 female characters I love:

Futaba Sakura

Ann Takamaki

Rumi in canon is barely a character but her anyways ❤️

3 romantic ships I love:

Shukita

Takurumi

Sumitaba

3 platonic dynamics I love:

Ryuji & Yusuke

Ryuji & Ann

Akiren & Futaba & Sojiro!!

3 favorite moments in canon:

The third semester ❤️

The Phan-Site reaches 100% approval rate during the Yaldy fight

Futaba's awakening

But also shoutout to Ann choosing at the last second not to kill Kamoshida because it'd be letting him off too easy and his subsequent confession. What an insane feeling of triumph fr

3 favorite headcanons:

Uhh Takuto has a son who is a Phantom Thief and his name is Kaito Maruki and his codename is Light ❤️❤️

Hmmmmmm I think Ryuji having dyed his hair in solidarity with Ann is cute :)

Man I promise I have many P5 headcanons, I just can't remember them right now 😭

3 least favorite things about it:

The homophobic Shinjuku scene like................ no words

The jokes about the boys being perverts and wanting to see the girls in swimsuits and making them uncomfortable and stuff. I nearly blocked that out of my mind lol

The lack of closure on some pretty plot relevant things? It's not like leaving Akechi's apparent death open-ended is necessarily a bad thing, but the fact that in vanilla P5 they only mentioned him like twice after that 😭 I also nearly died after stealing Takuto's heart, I mean. Kids I love you but I simply do not care what your summer plans are or whatever right now I NEED to see if my husband is ALIVE-- *grips.png* And we didn't even get a goodbye from Sumi! There's probably a much better way to word it but the writing does this thing where it just. Drops whole things too abruptly :') idk, maybe I'm biased and seeing a problem where there is none!

Ichinose for the character ask bingo

double bingo!!!

okay a couple disclaimers. (1) i've got no clue what "a beast unleashed" is supposed to mean but i'm interpreting it as "they make me feral." and (2) the fandom isn't mean to ichinose so much as no content exists about her at all which is a crime so i'm counting it.

I love how before everything with Shiho Joker can straight up say like "yeah I'm cool with murder tbh Kamoshida deserves it" and all Ryuji has to say is "FOR REAL?!" These idiots (affectionate).

but fandoms are communities and fandoms are always defined by the worst people, even if it feels unfair. there's not any fan content or meta contradicting just evil akechi, its been years and this is what the fandom wants. that's what most people are saying. there's nothing making those people feel unwelcome in fandom, but they make others feel unwelcome.

Okay, I see what you're saying. But I dunno, maybe we're just in different sections of the fandom, but I haven't had the same experience as you. I've seen lots of fan content that favors a more balanced approach with Akechi and acknowledges both sides to his character. I've read popular fic with an interpretation similar to my own that gives Akechi a soft side while acknowledging his rough edges and giving him a place to belong with the Thieves and Akiren. That all exists. Maybe you just need to widen your scope a little, or find different people to hang out with?

I don't really care if people are going to "welcome" my interpretation of Akechi or not. I'm going to write meta about him and explain why he's special to me and what he means to me and I don't give a damn if sections of the fandom aren't happy with that.

I believe you may have left me another ask I left unanswered because I wasn't sure how to address it, but let me copy and paste some of what I left in the drafts.

Goro Akechi, and his dynamic with the P5 protagonist, are complex and dark and messy. Fan interpretations are going to allude to their past. Akechi literally tried to murder Akiren--their dynamic is inherently based on very dark concepts and incredibly complex and tragic emotions on both sides. Akechi himself is messed up. He’s a murderer who tried to kill the one person he ever grew attached to and killed many just to get revenge on one man because his own hatred for his father twisted him to a point beyond recognition. He’s desperate for belonging but he pushes away anyone once they get marginally close, and he’s not afraid to hurt people in the process.

If you have a problem with anything that alludes all of that, then I'm sorry to say you're just not going to like most of the content about Akechi. Fanart and fanfic are going to explore those aspects of his character.

That all said, I’m sorry if you’ve been made to feel unwelcome in the fandom. Use the block button--I’ve done that myself to someone who wouldn’t stop commenting on my posts about Akechi with blatant falsehoods about his character. And create your own experience. I’ve found lots of people who agree with me about Akechi and are creating content that’s sympathetic toward him. Most of them happen to be Shuake/Akeshu shippers (like myself) from what I’ve seen but I’m unsure if you’d be into that. (But for the record, it’s not all abusive.) You just gotta find the right people. Maybe you just haven’t found them yet.

the parallel between belos killing untold numbers of palismen to survive hundreds of years and hunter's palisman willingly giving up his life to save hunter after belos nearly kills him. so good. chef's kiss. curled up on floor sobbing.

unpopular opinion but i actually really like akechi's ugly ass black mask outfit; the stripes are iconic, it adds to his aesthetic of Absolute Cringelord Dumbass.

My #1 post of 2022

I'll see takes from time to time about people getting annoyed at the "uwu soft boy goro" interpretation of the character. This is nothing new, obviously, and setting aside that this ignores on-screen evidence, this interpretation completely misses a key aspect of his character and the game.

First of all, let me clarify: I agree Goro is a selfish person who does evil, even unforgivable things as the Black Mask.

But seeing Akechi's character as irredeemable or "outright evil" misses one of the key points to his character. Akechi is meant to represent what Joker could have become if he'd been alone. Not only that, but what any of the Thieves could have become if they'd been alone and let their hatred and trauma twist them into something vengeful and empty.

If Goro is just an inherently evil person then his character loses its power. He was a child and a victim and he did not have to become the person he did. All of the Thieves were capable of becoming like Goro had circumstance been different. He no longer serves his purpose in the narrative as Joker's antithesis if you take that part of his character away.

This means both that the Thieves have an inner dark side that could have gotten out of control had circumstances been different, and that Goro is capable, or at the very least was once capable, of being a good person. Goro is capable of Joker's goodness, just as Joker is capable of Goro's evil.

So yes. Goro is an assassin who has murdered many. And he is an uwu soft boi who deserved better.

7, 17, 30

In case the other post hasn’t been seen, I wanna clarify that someone else already sent in an ask for number 7 and that’s why it’s not on here lol, but thank you for participating :]

“17. fairy lights or LED lights?”

Tough choice. Fairy lights look very pretty, but LED lights are colour changing. Though, I own LED lights myself, and I feel I might prefer fairy lights instead. It’s nice being able to change the colours, but a lot of those colours come with an annoying high pitched ringing sound that nobody notices except me. Changing the brightness does help, but doesn’t get rid of it entirely. So I think, if I owned them, I might prefer fairy lights over LEDs.

“30. what reminds you of home?”

For the most part, it’s either hanging out with friends or just being with my partner, as that’s where I feel most at ease. I can be myself without worry, and I often forget about daily stresses when I’m with people I care about. Might be cliché to say but it really is those times where I feel more like I’m living. Aside from that, some music or soundtracks remind me of home, especially when it comes from a place of emotional significance. If it can make me feel nostalgic, or if it can bring me a sense of familiarity, those are usually the songs that do it for me.

almightyrozenidiot replied to your post:

Yeah sorry I read that like IMMEDIATELY after hitting "reply" so my bad entirely. I definitely agree that it's a good idea, bad execution and I went to turn it off immediately because I have the shortcut for my blog settings saved somehow.

that’s ok! and yeah, I feel bad with this one cus it’s actually a good idea, it just needs to be tweaked a bit

[sage-basil]

Enjin for the blorbo ask meme

Surprisingly, I don't have that many thoughts about him until I actually do sit down to think about him

[akechi-stole-my-heart]

Can I get a Ryuji please?

i did not expect to get a bingo for him tbh

[sage-basil]

Can I get 3 and 12 for Salvé

3. Ask them to describe their love interest

"June is great! One of the best people I know!"

"...Um, she was... Nice to me from the start, haha, though it's not like I really know why... We've been spending a lot of time together, I'm really happy she chose to keep me as a friend all those years ago! Yeah..."

12. Do they like romance in the books they read?

This will sound insane, but he doesn't. Read books. This veers into hobbies and pastimes territory and this will also sound insane, but he doesn't have any. He can be dragged along to do stuff but on his own he just sits there or walks around.

If someone is reading a book aloud, he doesn't mind listening. Though I think the way people go about romantic relationships in books could stump him.

And if you're not tagged but you see this and wanna do it feel free to tag me as your tagger!

From left to right:

Horizon Zero Dawn/Forbidden West

Artekai (he/him), self-proclaimed Chosen One, best (and most annoying) archer in the Cut, and Aloy's long-suffering comedic relief sidekick!

Fross (we use he/him for him but he doesn't really care), Artekai's boyfriend, lowkey yandere damsel-in-distress, and fourteenth secret Zenith. You know how it is.

Dailah (she/her), Carja noblewoman with her sights set on the stars and experiments that defy the will of the Sun! One day she will make a huge scientific breakthrough and show them all ❤️

Bartenak (he/him), Artekai's adoptive older brother who's trying so hard to be cool but he's actually really sad and feels overlooked :'( Doomed by the narrative.

Tess (she/her), Fross's bio mom and Elisabet's in-law. A repressed lesbian in a comphet marriage, who always wanted to pursue a science career. Doomed by the narrative.

Raesh/Raeki (they/he/she), high ranking Eclipse kestrel and Artekai's self-proclaimed archnemesis! (if you've never heard Artekai say a word about her... yes, exactly lol)

Persona 5 Royal

Kaito Maruki (he/him), Takuto's fifteen year old son, thirteenth(???) secret Phantom Thief, and basically just Artekai's P5R AU self ❤️ I would've given him his signature high ponytail but this is the first picrew I've seen with ombre hair options so I had to go with that lol.

Fandomless

J (they/them), Vampire who's obsessed with Christianity aesthetically, like in a cultural appropriation way. Yes they kill vampire hunters but are otherwise chill and dopey but isolated.

Jane (she/her), People pleaser girlboss with tons of expectations on her shoulders, a competitive, perfectionist streak, and a hidden cynical, perhaps even self-serving side.
