#anyways this guy is so fucking ouppy to me

[trollbreak]

Ok ok, ig I'll leave u alone now. *comes out and puts a fish I just caught recently in there* For ur troubles :)

[His mouth rests open another moment after you put the fish into place, before he swallows it. And blinks at you.]

“You don’t have to leave, if you don’t want! I enjoy the company.”

[And a little smile! If he had a tail, you imagine it would be wagging.]

Ryuji for bingo if no one else has yet :>

Boy I don’t even know where to fucking start with him, he makes me so insane and there’s so many things to touch on that my brain just puts itself through a food processor every time I try. First of all I am taking him away from atlus until they can learn to play nice with him, bc he’s such a good boy and there is NO reason he would be Like That to Ann given that he WASN’T IN THE BEGINNING. Anyways, that aside, the second most egregious sin they commit with him is never letting him have any emotional payoff. The Kamoshida arc was very good for Ann, but it did come at the expense of not giving Ryuji a big moment despite the fact that he also had big emotional stakes in it, and it is a crime that he get relegated to being the Best Friend Guy for the rest of the game. Ofc this isn’t necessarily a bad archetype, if not for the fact that atlus seems to think there’s no use in him having feelings that are addressed in a meaningful way. The closest we get is his confidant, which gives us a very clear indication of his tendency to take responsibility for things that aren’t his fault (baby please, Kamoshida breaking your leg and disbanding the track team was not your fault 😭) and how he finally let’s go of the track team in favour of moving on by Akira’s side (gay as hell btw sorry I don’t make the rules.) And all of that is good, but it’s nowhere near the level of emotional catharsis he deserves after all the shit he’s been through.

As you can probably surmise, I have spent more than a little of my brain power thinking about this. But in the interest of not writing a full thesis or spoiling anything by getting more specific, I shall leave it on this note: he is so so pretty and so silly and so Ouppy and he makes me want to absolutely tear my hair out bc he could’ve been perfect if atlus hadn’t fucking NERFED HIM

🔫 favorite S.E.E.S member?

oooh this one is hard! i’m not that far into persona 3 (reload) so i haven’t met them all yet but i’ve got a pretty good idea of what they’re all like.

ok i think i have to give 2 cop-out answers first: the protagonist (like yeah he’s literally there for the audience to project on but. ohohoho) and koromaru (has not actually joined the team yet but. he’s ouppy dog. the goodest of boys!)

OK now for real answer time: i’d have to say junpei? again im not super far into the game but despite his personality being… kinda annoying and sexist, he’s also just such a cheery and fun guy that i can’t help but be endeared to him! and i hear he goes through some big character growth later on. apparently he’s kinda like sokka? a big part of it is his voice actor too, zeno robinson did fucking amazing. also i haven’t gotten that far yet but i think im gonna really like ken when he shows up 👍

🎁 favorite character?

GRRRRRGH ok so. i could go on another huge spiel about which characters could claim this spot and why but. man there’s no contest. TATSUYA SUOU LETS GOOOOO YEAHHH TATSUYA FUCK YEAH TATSUYAAAAA!!!!!! WIN FOR MOTORCYCLE BISEXUALS VROOM VROOOOOOOM!!!!! (and also the suffering ^_^)

💛 favorite dynamic(s)?

hhhhhrhgk asking some hard questions here. this will be very long you have been warned. okkkk. ok so. starting off simple with joker and ryuji they’re just. so silly man. they’re just buds having a good time! and they’re just goofing off and hanging out but they care so much about each other and it just creates this sense of. light and warmth and joy and respite from the world around them. i think that “you make me feel free” goes both ways. and that’s not even talking about what happens with them in canon!!! god i love ryuji so much.

anyway for the next one we have to take a trip into my beautiful mind (aka I Am Just Making Shit Up)… ok imagine with me: joker is aromantic asexual but doesn’t know there’s terms/community for it yet. also he’s probably not cis but he doesn’t have time to think about that right now there’s ruin coming or whatever. and ann is a recently realized lesbian who’s coming to terms with how her experiences with sexual harassment + objectification affects her sexuality (and she’s in love with shiho!!!) and they’re each others first person to come out to and they bond so hard over being queer in ways that especially defy japanese social and gender norms (being a lesbian in a society where young women are sexualized + objectified while also placing huge importance on traditional values, marriage by a certain age, having children + starting a family 🤝 being aroace in a society where men are expected to sexualize women, be dominant + increasingly to gain a sense of power/masculinity in their sexual prowess [Belarmino, Melanie and Roberts, Melinda R. (2019). Japanese Gender Role Expectations and Attitudes: A Qualitative Analysis of Gender Inequality. Journal of International Women' s Studies, 20(7), 272-288.] sorry bout the citation i wanted to get my facts right) (also like, atlus come on. queer issues perfectly fit into the themes of persona 5 you’re just a fucking coward + homophobe) sorry abt the tangent ANYWAY they get just so much closer after that, as well as a lot more comfortable with casual platonic intimacy + physical affection cause they both know they can be safe + not have their actions misconstrued by the other. tbh i could see them being in a qpr? there like. gay best friends in a way that doesn’t put emphasis on stereotypes cause they just hang out and genuinely have so much fun eating crepes and trying on outfits and talking shit abt ann’s coworkers lol. they would have the best sleepovers.

ohhohoh and im not even done! ok so i haven’t gotten that far into persona 2 innocent sin cause i got softlocked 13 hours in somehow + now i have to restart BUT i know things, and hooooo boy tatsuya and jun lemme tell you. shuake fans eat your heart out cause tatsujun was doing it better back in 1999. like i haven’t read a lot of in depth analyses cause im trying not to get even more spoiled than i already have been but. the entire basis of innocent sin’s story starts with their relationship… and thinking about everything jun goes through and then what happened in eternal punishment… GOD they’ve got me so fucked up. head in hands. everyone play persona 2 please.
