Oh dear ~ He could never condone bullying his beloved Naoto like that.

Aikoto for the ship meme bingo~ - @epitomees

@epitomees. Time for me to to be utterly deranged for a moment.

So this ship fucks in so many ways specific to my Makoto. In my version of the character, death being sealed inside of him 'muted' a lot of his emotions. As if there was something feeding on his soul. Add that with the intense trauma from his parents dying in front of him and being thrown into the awful foster system, Makoto was apathetic and waiting to die.

He had good grades because it was expected. He did things as if going through the emotions of being alive. But he was empty and felt like a corpse. Like a zombie pretending to be a human. He felt out of place and disconnected from others.

So when he gets with SEES, not only does he start having something to live for and people who care about him, he also starts to come alive. Because that connection between him and death is getting to be less parasitic. Because death is gaining it's own existence again. So not only is Makoto healing in a sense, he is also coming alive.

ANYWAY, Aigis comes to SEES as a machine with no understanding of humans. Something that Makoto had always felt but been unable to tell anyone. Makoto never felt like a human. His entire life, he was told that there was something wrong with him. Because he didn't feel or express emotions like a person. He didn't interact with the world like a person would.

So Makoto instantly feels comfortable around her in a strange way. because he also felt like he was pretending to be human. Aigis quickly became someone he felt a strong connection to. Not only because of their history (even though he didn't really remember it lol.) but because he could relate to her in a way he just couldn't with people. He didn't have to pretend around her because she wouldn't question things. And seeing her "come to life" reminded him of his own journey.

Makoto loves everyone in SEES, but Aigis is special solely due to the way he relates to her. Even if he would never tell her that, esp after he finds out the truth and he worries she would feel guilty about it.

In terms of romantic shipping, Makoto is.... Well.... His sexuality is complicated? He doesn't really care about that at all. So being with someone he couldn't BE with like that wouldn't bother him at all. Like Makoto literally doesn't care about that. In fact, there is a part of him that would LIKE it. Because he... It's hard to explain. But with someone, he would hate to have that experience with them and have it.... Mean less to him than it did them? Because like... He can't emotionally connect in the same way other people do. Even in the last bit of the game, when he is without death's influence as much. It would just be... difficult for him to actually HAVE that connection with someone due to his own internal misgivings. I don't think he's asexual at all, but he is close enough that he would literally be fine with never doing anything like that and also like... the idea that it wouldn't be expected would be comforting to him.

So in a way, Aigis is a person that he relates to and trusts to be himself around more than most because he feels she would not judge him or think there is something "wrong" with him.

IDK this is just my delusional ramblings I have had about this ship since i was like 14 when i first got obsessed with it. Obviously I love them romantic or platonic. But yeah anyway sjkdgjh

@epitomees replied to this: "If I can call the embodiment of death my babygirl, I think you can get a pass." - Kotone

He's... so confused. "If he's your babygirl, then what am I to you, senpai?? What are we? Give it to me straight."

"Kotone, you could have said anything other than that..."

And now Yukari is going to spend the rest of the night thinking of mouldy moon cheese.

[pupmusebox]

@epitomees replied to said post.

“You just keep those lips shut about what you’ve seen. This stays between you and me.” Kotone motions two fingers outward towards the entity, then back to herself as if to say ‘I’m watching you.’

"As if I be daring to speak word of what I seen now, heheh. Taking it to a grave as it may be when putting it like that." hiding his face in his scarf when wings finally unfurled forth due to being unable to keep them hidden, "No need to be watchful either, I'll behave. Maybe... heh. Kidding!" hovering a bit with hands held up and finding it funny but not daring to push it when messing around.

✞  ✧ ✧ ✧ ✧ ✧ " Good evening, Shiomi. "

A familiar voice, sly and cold, if only one they've heard recently. That strange yellow eyed persona user from the full moon. He raises a long and pale hand at them. " You needn't be on edge. I just want to talk. Surely on such a peaceful night we can put aside our differences for a friendly chat? " And that hands curls in a beckoning finger. His tone is almost playful. " I promise not to keep you. Come along. "

@epitomees said: “Hey look at me.” (Kotone to Ryoji) / hurt comfort starters - accepting

"Huh...?" Ryoji's voice is quiet as he's pulled back to the situation at hand. He had started to think. Kotone had been spending some time with him when the topic of his old school came up. She had shared a story from her old school, and when he went to do the same... A piercing pain filled his skull.

He could see the memory she had shared in vivid detail. As if it had been his own memory. His old school.... Did they go to the same one? No. If they had, surely he would have spoken to her. She didn't have the same situation as he did. Kotone didn't have parents --- he at least had his mother but she... She was.... away. He wanted her to stay away.... Why? His ears began to ring as the pain in his skull reached a peak.

And then her hand is on his arm and she demands his attention. The pain fades slowly as blue eyes stare at her, utterly lost. None of that stuff mattered, right? He didn't even want to think about it. Because he didn't want this moment to end.

"Ah... Sorry Kotone-chan." He forces a flimsy smile for her. He didn't want her to worry about him. "I don't really.... My old school was boring. In fact, I don't remember much about it."

Stunned silence.... And then he boops her nose too.

Your result: ruined by loneliness

you are so lonely. you are miserable in your solitude. you hate that you cannot bring yourself to reach out, to ask for help. you will be forgotten by all who never knew you. your biggest fear is that you will die alone, and you know this fear will be seen to fruition. you refuse to extend yourself beyond the box that others put you in. and it is a box that no one dare come near. you are lonely because you are afraid of yourself.
