Unused Akechi Thieves Den conversations

There are some unused Thieves Den conversations that Akechi had with the other PTs, so I wanted to show them here. This is a long post btw.

Zorro - Yusuke & Akechi convo

Yusuke: ......

Akechi: You're looking at that Persona rather intently. Is he that intriguing?

Yusuke: Absolutely. It is an unparalleled luxury to lay sight on the physical manifestation of another's self-image. Not just any artist can claim to have borne witness to the likes of Personas, or Mementos. It would be foolish not to use this opportunity to incorporate these concepts into an art piece.

Akechi: I... see. Well, you have fun with that.

Yusuke: Ah, before you go. Would you be so kind as to show me your own Persona? I'd love to use him as a model for one of my sketches.

Akechi: ...I'm going to have to decline.

-----------

Goro doesn’t want to model for Yusuke lol

Robin Hood - Ann & Akechi convo

Ann: Seeing this reminds me of the days you still acted like a prince. Things have gotten pretty dark since then...

Akechi: Complain all you like, but this is who I am. I'm not going to change back.

Ann: I'm not complaining. It's better to know you're being honest and not hiding anything from us.

Akechi: Honest, huh.

-----------

I like how Ann is accepting of Goro’s true self.

Robin Hood - Sumire & Akechi convo

Sumire: This Persona is yours, Akechi-senpai? I'm surprised. It's very, um... noble.

Akechi: Ah, that's right. I suppose you've never seen this one.

Sumire: Never! Do you fight with it the same way? You know, "Muahahahaaa! You're all gonna die! Sayonara, suckers!"

Akechi: Heh. Are you mocking me?

-----------

Sumire’s friendship with Goro is so adorable!

Robin Hood - Ryuji, Ann & Akechi convo

Ryuji: It ain't fair that he gets to have two Personas. Aren't you kinda jealous?

Ann: Sometimes. Is it something you can train yourself to do?

Akechi: Personas are part of your personality, correct? Why don't you try acting like someone you're not?

Ryuji: Dammit, Akechi!

Akechi: Down, boy. Learn to take a jo—

Ryuji: You're a frickin' genius! Let's do it!

Ann: Good idea! I wonder what I should act like...

Akechi: Hah. And here I thought I'd seen the limits of your idiocy.

----------- 

Goro was like “Why don’t you try being a wildcard?”. It ain’t that easy though lol

Morgana Car - Akechi, Ryuji & Yusuke convo

Akechi: This car was a lot more comfortable than I expected. I can't say I mind it.

Ryuji: Dude, have you forgotten how bumpy that shit was in Mementos? I thought my ass was gonna split in half.

Yusuke: Agreed on the bumpiness. It was rather effective at abating my hunger, though.

Akechi: I don't usually ride in cars with such weak suspension. It was a new experience for me.

Ryuji: THAT'S what you call it!?

----------- 

You learn something new everyday.

Kamoshida Statue - Sae & Akechi convo

Sae: Honestly, when I heard there was a teacher like this at Makoto's school, my blood ran cold.

Akechi: If it was that much of a concern, why didn't you bring it up with the faculty?

Sae: It's not that simple.

Akechi: You should be more upfront about your feelings. Then again, I suppose you are who you are.

-----------

Did Kamoshida had some way of making the students’ parents/guardians not complain about him? Is that why Mishima was like “the parents know but don’t care”?

Kaneshiro (Ruler Form) - Makoto, Ryuji & Akechi convo

Makoto: Say, Kaneshiro mentioned that there was someone using other people's Palaces to do whatever they pleased...

Akechi: Yeah. I suppose that was me. I'm surprised a petty criminal like him had caught wind of me, though.

Ryuji: But Shido's the one who was takin' advantage, yeah? I thought you were just followin' orders.

Akechi: Hm... It's not quite that simple.

----------- 

What do you mean by that Goro? Do you have more freedom when you’re in palaces or something because the conspiracy is not aware of what goes on in there?

Shido (Ruler Form) - Akechi & Sae convo

Akechi: I never thought the scheme would end with Shido. I always assumed some other monster would take up his mantle.

Sae: Even so, I'd already decided that I wouldn't give up on exposing the guilty parties. ...I want to keep my faith in justice.

Akechi: Oh? Something so cliché coming from you is rather surprising, Sae-san. I suspect the Phantom Thieves have rubbed off on you quite a bit.

Sae: That's a possibility. Maybe you could do with some change yourself? Like, drop the "cool customer" act and just live in the moment?

Akechi: Hah! Surely you jest. I'll pass.

----------- 

Oh Goro is putting up his Detective Prince act on this one.

Interrogation Room - Akechi & Morgana convo

Akechi: How nostalgic... It makes me sick to remember that day. I can't believe I was so thoroughly tricked.

Morgana: It was quite a gamble on our end. But ultimately, our justice saw the light.

Akechi: Justice, huh... Sure, let's leave it at that.

----------- 

Sounds like Goro doesn’t believe Morgana there.

Penguin Sniper - Ryuji & Akechi convo

Ryuji: Pool's pretty fun once ya get used to it. Aight Akechi, let's go a round! It's time for the Ultra Mega Poolin' Schoolin'!

Akechi: Ignoring that ludicrous title... Do you honestly wish to play against me?

Ryuji: I'm a man of my word! I know I got no chance when it comes to brainy stuff, but this? I can take ya. Or what, are you chicken?

Akechi: Heh, of course not. Sure, I'll play a round. And I won't be holding back.

----------- 

I think Goro is gonna use his right hand, but Ryuji you should still prepare yourself. 👀

Loki - Yusuke & Makoto convo

(Akechi is not in this unused convo but the convo is about him)

Yusuke: To think we would fight side-by-side with Akechi once more... His personality seems to have shifted, though. It's a far cry from the Detective Prince we once knew.

Makoto: That is true... But somehow, I think it made him easier to talk to. He's honest with us, at least. I don't worry about him hiding things anymore.

Yusuke: Yes... His murderous screeching may be unsettling, but I've come to realize that is simply a part of who he is. Perhaps it would be worthwhile to paint a portrait of him, knowing this...

Makoto: If you do, I'd love to see it. ...I'd like to hear what he thinks of it, too.

----------- 

Murderous screeching LOL! Again Yusuke, Goro will not model for you 😆

-----------

and that’s all of the unused Goro convos in the Thieves Den.

Incorrect Quotes: Bruce giving money to the Bat-Family | Part 4

Previous Part: Link | Next Part: Coming Soon

Bruce: Your recital tonight was lovely, Cass.

Cassandra: <Smile> Thank you.

Stephanie: No need to undersell it, B. That was great, Cass! I’ve never been into all that fancy ballet opera stuff; but that was… breathtaking.

Cassandra: <Smiles more and then yawns>

Alfred: All of you please cease crowding the poor girl. It seems Miss Cassandra is tired out by her performance routine. I suggest taking a short nap before the festivities later tonight, dear.

<Cassandra nods and Alfred guides her back to her room, leaving Bruce, Steph and Tim in the lounge>

Tim: So… you’ve both got something for her something to celebrate, right? I mean, I started working on a surprise for her the moment I heard she’d be preforming in the Gotham Opera House.

Stephanie: Well duh. It’s Cass! She deserves only the best. I’ve been collecting the finest ingredients to bake a feast of her favourite flavour of waffles.

Tim: Nice. No I can’t disagree with that, Cass deserves the best. Uh… you brought something for her, right Bruce?

Stephanie: <Eye roll> Of course he got something. Even the grim and grumpy Batman isn’t that heartless.

<Bruce suddenly coughs and then lets out a nervous laugh, prompting incredulous glares from Tim and Steph>

Bruce: I may have… forgotten.

Stephanie: Seriously dude? Even I’m disappointed in you for this.

Bruce: In my defence… I was distracted by a sudden gang war between the Mafia and Yakuza.

Stephanie: Well Tim and I managed to get her stuff even though we were busy chasing the Riddler through a series of heists!

Bruce: Oh please. Between the two of you even Nygma would be put on the ropes… but I agree that I made a mistake. And now I must rectify that mistake. <Gets up from couch, looking determined>

Tim: Tracking down something appropriately meaningful so late at night and having it prepared and delivered before Cass wakes up… is a tall order even for Bruce Wayne.

Bruce: For Bruce Wayne, yes. But not for Batman. Alfred! I’m heading out.

Alfred: Of course sir. And I trust you already have the, uh, Bat-Credit Card?

Bruce: Never leave the cave without it.

———————

<An hour-ish later, Cass is happily eating waffles made by Steph and Tim>

Cassandra: Very tasty. Mhm. <Chews> And… thank you, Steph. For waffles.

Stephanie: Figured you would have quite the appetite after that.

Cassandra: I do. And thank you, Tim. For this. <Gesture to custom album of her favourite dancing tunes that Tim edited together>

Tim: No problem, Cass. Wanted to do something special to celebrate your big show. We all know how hard you’ve been working on your ballet prac-

<Tim is cut off as Bruce Wayne comes tumbling into the room, looking exhausted>

Stephanie: <Muttering> Look who finally showed up, it’s about time.

Cassandra: Are you okay?

Bruce: I… huff… I…

Tim: You doing okay Bruce?

<Bruce takes a brief moment to steady himself before marching over to Cassandra with renewed vigour and handing her a wrapped box>

Cassandra: For me?

<Cassandra unwraps and opens box to find her costume from the performance inside>

Stephanie: Woah. Wasn’t that on loan to the Gotham Opera House by some fancy French designer dude?

Bruce: Yes. I… tracked him down and purchased it before anyone else could.

Cassandra: <Smiles and hugs Bruce> Thank you… dad.

Bruce: I… I’m glad you’re happy with it. You were beautiful tonight, Cass. And I know you grew a bit fond of this costume during all those rehearsals, so I figured it might make a decent memento of the performance.

Cassandra: No matter what you got, I would have liked it. I know you care. But… thank you, again.

Stephanie: As touching as this whole father-daughter embrace is, I just wanted to let you guys know everyone’s starting to arrive.

Bruce: Right. Let’s go greet them.

<The rest of the Bat-Family arrived and they all had a good night celebrating Cass’ ballet>

Akiren choosing to wear a wedding dress for Akeshu/ShuAke wedding: 

very late Part 2 to this post below:

I've had this sitting in a Google Doc for a while, I've just been too lazy to post it

(Mementos Mission Manga Scene Spoiler warning)

So while Unapologetically spoiling myself on Persona 5 content, I came across a Manga Spinoff called Mementos Mission. There's a scene where Akira (Protagonist’s name in the Manga canon is Akira Kurusu), teams up with Akechi on an investigation and he's advised to come in disguise and Akira’s version of disguise is “Oh, I just happened to have a female cop uniform in my wardrobe, along with curly hair extensions, lipstick and makeup. I'll wear that.” 

Akechi reacts like most people would, and after recovering from a laughing fit, questions what the heck he's wearing. 

And Akira is so nonchalant about it “You said to come in disguise and this is what I had on hand 🤷‍♀️.” 

The outfit is also available as a DLC costume pack in Persona 5 Dancing In Starlight. 

Point is, Akiren canonically crossdresses and has no issue with it. 

So what if he willingly wears a wedding dress to an Akeshu/ShuAke wedding scenario? 

Originally, the Wedding Dress option was just supposed to be plan B. If for some reason the Metaverse proves to be too dangerous to hold the wedding and they're forced to have it in the real world, Akira could just crossdress as a female and take the role of The Bride. 

Luckily Metaverse Wedding is manageable enough. During the private dressing process the Girls took it upon themselves to play Bridal Boutique for Akiren. 

Fast-forward to the Wedding. Akechi is waiting at the altar, Grim Reaper officiating (it was originally supposed to be Yaldabaoth but Grim showed up and it seemed letting him be a part of the ceremony was the only way not to get K.O.ed by him). Random assortment of shadows sitting in the crowd that the group managed to convince threaten to attend. Sophia is playing the role of the pipe organ, humming a wedding tune. Ryuji is one of Akiren’s best men, Yusuke is busy in the role of Wedding photographer—-um, “Artist”. Since cameras don't work in the Metaverse, Yusuke has to hand photograph the moments by painting them which he is more than enthusiastic about, this man is going to paint the most detailed works of art ever, who needs a silly camera? 

Morgana is on ring bearer duty. unfortunately since Sojiro can't enter the Metaverse, Cop PeePaw Zenkichi Is playing the role of “father that gets to walk Akiren down the aisle” 

Jose is the flower boy. 

Sumire is one of the girls not playing “Bridal Boutique” and is instead one of Akechi's best—-women? She felt bad for him barely having any Bests on his side so she insisted. The rest of Akechi's Bests entourage consists of docile cognitive beings of Sae Niijima, and a couple of his agents. 

Since fashion isn't her area of expertise, Futaba also willingly opted out of playing Wedding Boutique and stood next to Ryuji in Akiren’s Bests line up, along with Lavenza. 

Akechi didn't have anyone close to walk him down the Aisle. Shido was an obvious no go. “Absolutely Mcfucking Never In This Lifetime Or In Hell, Docile Cognitive puppet version or not” - in Akechi's own words. 

So Igor happily decided to fill that void. The long nosed hunchback was an unsettling sight for Akechi but Akiren reassured he's a decent dude. 

The moment comes, doors swing open for the second Groom to reveal—-

Akiren in full wedding dress and veil, hair extensions to further sell the feminine look, along with black lipstick. He's wearing a casual warm smile, absolute zero sense of shame in this man. 

Zenkichi and Ryuji do double takes, Futaba bursts out in a fit of cackles.

Behind Akiren, the girls, minus Futaba and Sumire, stand behind him, all with varying expressions from defeated, embarrassed, and holding in laughter.

“For the record, we didn't force him to wear this. Once we managed to convince him that wearing his Shujin school uniform is not appropriate attire to get married, he suggested a wedding dress. Despite us explaining it's not necessary and a Tuxedo will do just fine, he was already picking out dress options, so we just went along with it.”

“He also pulled black lipstick and curly black hair extensions out of his pocket and ominously claimed “My time has come.” He wouldn't give us an answer as to where he got them from, I can only assume they've been in his pocket all day.” 

Akechi just lets out a defeated sigh, and facepalms. Oh, that's right. His soon to be husband is a fucking dumbass

A lovable, amusing, cute, undeniably sexy dumbass, but a dumbass all the same. But—--he wouldn’t have it any other way.

Will Wood (and the Tapeworms) Songs as Ride the Cyclone Characters!

Recently decided to wade through Will Wood's discography more and I think some of the songs by the 30-something year old dude really embody them

How this half asleep rant will work:

[Character]: [Song(s)]

Explanation of why song is chosen

"Certain excerpts from the song I think embody the goober chosen"

Note: all songs wils be linked when they're written (mostly as youtube lyric videos), also this will probably be very long

Ocean O'Connell Rosenburg: The Main Character

Local ‘gifted kid’ teenager has yet to find out that the world doesn't revolve around her and stepping on anyone who doesn't fit in with her isn’t okay, more at 7

"I mean, imagine if protagonists just died in the first scene"

"I loot plot armor from NPC’s / Well, they are to me"

Noel Gruber: Suburbia Overture / Greetings from Mary Bell Township! / (Vampire) Culture / Love Me, Normally

This song (in my opinion) is really the embodiment of Noel's character. attempting to fit in, being told to "tone it down" by his mother until eventually arriving in the afterlife and essentially going "fuck it, we ball" with Noel's Lament (and Vampire Culture in this allegory) until eventually arriving at a state of peace with Love Me, Normally/It's Just a Ride

"a snowflake only matters in a blizzard"

Mischa Bachinski: 6up 5oh Cop-Out (Pro / Con & ¡Aikido! (Neurotic / Erotic)

6up 5oh with it's plot(?) of running from the police and proceeding to get mistreated by them is how Mischa is viewed by essentially everyone is Saskatchewan (and to an extent how he lets them see him). While ¡Aikido!, is more of his 'passion' side, specifically with Talia. The more aggressive reprise at the end of Aikido in the 2020 remaster also reminds me allot of the techno section of 'Talia'.

"It's never too late to embrace your fate"

"So we can touch instead of feel"

Ricky Potts: White Noise & Dr. Sunshine Is Dead

Imagine being so forgotten by everyone around you so the innocent bean stereotype is put on you automatically despite the fact that you’re real personality is far from that and then having a mini identity crisis over it

"You're not meant to sing along"

"I'm no one if I'm nowhere in between"

Jane Doe: Big Fat Bitchie’s Blueberry Pie, Christmas Tree, and Recreational Jell-o Emporium a.k.a. “Mr. Boy is on the Roof Again” (Feat. Pasta by Sneakers McSqueakers) [From “B.F.B.’s B-Sides: Bagel Batches, Marsh-Mallows, & Barsh-Mallows”]

No thoughts, story, or plot, just funky carnival music

Constance Blackwood: Falling Up

This song is essentially 'Sugar Cloud' but more melancholy. This is what I'd imagine a song about Constance's life before she died would be about, or Constance's Monologue in song form. What especially reminded me of her monologue was the rapid fire listing of objects and even the title 'Falling Up' being repeated in the song feeling like the roller coaster when it derailed. They're falling but being upside down it feels more like they're flying.

"You make a wish upon the dead, but turn and call it a weed"

"Much larger than life, 'cause from such height / Life looks awful small"

"Well, I cry on skies of blue linoleum, Clouds o' spilled milk"

Penny Lamb: Willard!

Aspiring animal conservationist doesn't know how to relate to "normal" people partially due to her upbringing. Parts of the song were the singer wants animal traits the make their life easier reminds me of Penny's whole "I vomit fire" thing before absolutely destroying JK-47

“Until frustration makes me wish my teeth were sharp as yours”

“I've never understood what humans do and want / It's quite confusing to me to try to connect / Never learned how I should feel, instincts somehow stunted”

Extra characters outside of the choir:

I'll go less in depth for these as i think most of these are self-explanatory

Karnak: Memento Mori: the most important thing in the world

funky sentient machine is constantly aware of his imminent death and decides to be a goofy goober because of it

Virgil: Tomcat Disposables

rat just wants to vibe and chew on a power cable. oopsies he's dead now

Monique Gibeau: White Knuckle Jerk & Front Street

oh em gee she's so gorgeous and dangerous and the world described in Noel's Lament is very gritty and a little gross

Ezra Lamb: Euthanasia (Live)

this mostly feeds into my hc that Ezra ditched school to go to the fair with the choir and had to see his sister get beheaded, being completely inconsolable, and not being listened to because he's "a kid looking for attention"

It's the end yay!!

That's the end folks! I really enjoyed making this (i am a very big fan of both rtc and will wood) there were a lot of other songs i wanted to include (skeleton appreciation day, i/me/myself etc.) but didn't because either

a. they fit too many characters for me to just pin one to them or

b. the character already had two songs assigned to them

i hope anybody reading this is having a good day/night and listens to will wood more in the future ig

[nicolascageisagoth]

I have been thinking how to explain what i want to explain but time goes, memories fade, and I got the flu, so there is no chance that I will write a good story in a pleasant narrative style in the near future. Just let me leave a few facts and thoughts here.

It was my first DM concert, my first stadium show and it happend to be diametrically opposed to my expectations. First of all, if you stand under the stage it is the same as small club performances for me. I didn't feel the scale of the stadium and that there were about 60-70 000 people around me (The capacity of the stadium is 58 580 seats and together with the field it is 72 900 people. It wasn’t sold out but ~90-95% of seats were taken plus almost the whole field). I didn't feel how big the show was. Just DM, me and some dudes around.

About people around. I understand how difficult and scared for some it can be to stay alone on the show BUT I saw the pain of fans who brought their partners or friends who didn’t care at first, they were annoyed being here for hours (understandable) and the second: fans couldn’t relax with them, couldn’t enjoy the show. Their bodies couldn’t allow their owners to dance, to jump or scream like they are ashamed by their own wishes. I danced alone in that area. People around me supportably smiled, but one guy was almost in tears bc of his partner. He glanced at me from time to time, I waved and sang to him like hey let’s do it together, we all! At least he smiled in the end. My advice to think twice when you do any activities and be honest with yourself, your friends, families and partners. It’s not worthy «to share» your patient with someone who doesn’t care. It can end painfully.

Audience. You can read everywhere it was before, it is now that the Polish audience is one of the best. Well. People were nice around, kind and helpful. That’s not typical, yes. I was surprised by the reaction for some tracks. Like for Stripped I expected at least their souls would go out from their chests or smth 🌚 but no, the audience was quit calm. Meanwhile It’s no good ripped off everyone's pants. In general it looked like people are calm to 2/3 of the set list.

Martin. Today several posts on different platforms popped up that we should appreciate Martin more. One girl even described her feelings similarly to mine after the show. Yes, we should! He is the author, he has a uniq style from writing to dressing, and damn! He sings so emotionally! His voice is alive. It was breathtaking. He really enjoyed the music and gave himself to us, not just worked off the money. I don’t care about his old voice, I don’t care about his low notes which are not his register, it doesn’t matter in his case! If he started a solo project I would visit every show

About the venue. PGE Narodowy is a stadium in Warsaw. It is a famous place for its awful sound. Actually it was good from the field. The same like in Atłas Arena in Łódź. PGE NARODOWY DOESNT HAVE A ROOF. It is the same like in Bucharest. The stadium sold beer straight on the field from the beginning to the end and during the show 🗿 19 zł (€4.26) for 500 ml

If someone needs this information.

I was in a hospital that morning. In a really bad condition driving to the show that evening I thought I was going to get the worst spot with a terrible sound plus rain as the cherry on the top. Instead of this I freely walked around the whole place till DM talking with people sharing some drinks and snacks. I got the best spot I could get in the golden circle under the stage and stars were shining in the sky – no one cloud that night.

We got Strangelove 🤍👠⚫️📢 Frankfurt got Shake the Disease 🦩🕴🏻📹 I’m so happy for us.

Memento Mori Tour 2023

[neilpissyrega]

Hey, Willard! Where do you get off? Do you take the first step towards Front Street? Thankk you for the input, but that’s enough, let’s get you home. You aren’t the main character, dude, all you say is just white noise to me, to be honest, and in case I make it, you have to love me, normally. I mean it’s… well, better than the alternative, I guess. Gotta call you a (thermodynamic) lawyer because apparently your friend Dr Sunshine is dead since he didn’t remember 2012- he was too busy being a blackbox warrior. Are you okay? You look like you’ve just had a half-decade hangover, and you also look like you’re falling up. If that’s even possible. I’ll call my friend Mr Capgras, he encountered a secondhand vanity recently, though, so I dunno if he’s okay. My friend Cotard will have a solution, I bet. When somebody needs you, you gotta hand me my shovel, I’m going in! Oh shit, bones! I can see your bones! Are you okay? Memento mori, I guess. If you even know what that means. Nobody is here to deal with your injury except I/Me/Myself. Hang on, my friends from Mary Bell Township are calling. Okay, they hung up. Wanted to tell me a fun fact about apples..? Hurt people, you say? Hurt people! I didn’t hurt you, why would I hurt anyone else? Anyway, um, it’s kind of a lot, but this isn’t my lysergide daydream, so… What happened to your leg? I can see your bones? You hit it against the kitchen floor? Damn, that must have hurt. You know, if you were a tomcat they would have employed euthanasia, which is really unfair to be honest. Dude, look, it’s a cicada! Didn’t know these were cicada days, to be honest. You liked this? You’re fine? Oh, okay, I’ll go, then. That was fun, goodbye!

Parasite Eve recording/ Oliver Sykes x reader

Summary: you record the female voice in the song Parasite Eve. For this you visit your boyfriend in the studio

Words: 1388

FLUFF

------------------------------------------------------

"Honey don't forget to come to the studio later. We need you today." Oli leans his forehead against yours, your eyes meet.

A few days ago he asked you if you could record something for a new song by BMTH. Of course you said yes, as long as you didn't have to sing. Now he's on his way to the studio, you'll join him later.

"Oh right, I almost forgot." The sarcasm is clear in your voice, a smile forming on your lips. Oli grins back, his arms tightening around you.

"Practice your lines okay? I sent it to you. See you later." He kisses you softly, your noses touching.

After a long time, Oli breaks away from you, his hands resting on your cheeks. "I miss you already, but I have to go now." He kisses your forehead.

"Love you." He grabs his keys and is about to step out the door, suddenly he comes back towards you.

"One last kiss." He grins at you and quickly presses his lips on yours.

Shortly after, he leaves the apartment. You close the door, then prepare to meet him in the studio.

Later...

You stand in front of the studio. You ring the bell, the door is immediately opened by your boyfriend.

"Y/N darling, I've been expecting you." You enter the entrance and walk towards him. Your hand rests on his chest as you lean in to him. You greet each other with a short kiss.

"I love to walk along here, there are mementos of your past careers hanging everywhere." You look around in amazement as Oli leads you by the hand into the studio.

"I'm surprised every time what we've been able to accomplish." He squeezes your hand.

You stop in front of a shelf. In it are Kerrang Awards from a wide variety of years.

"By the way, only Jordan is here right now. The others were going to get something to eat. They'll join us later." You look up at Oli and nod.

You continue walking and finally enter the studio.

"Hello Y/N. Good to see you again." Jordan walks up to you and pulls you into a hug. You hesitantly let go of Oli's hand and hug him back. "Hey Jordan."

He breaks away from you. "You ready to record?" He smiles.

"I'm a little excited." He puts a hand on your shoulder reassuringly. "Everyone is the first time." He turns and heads toward a small booth with a microphone inside. "But you'll do fine. You're talented."

Your cheeks blush. Oli sees this and runs his tattooed hand over your cheekbones, smiling. You bury your head in his chest. He puts his hand on the back of your head, the other around your shoulder. Slowly he cradles you in his arms.

You feel a light kiss on the crown of your head. "Babe, you're going to be good at this.

Jordan's right, my girlfriend is talented." He runs his fingers through your hair.

Your cheeks turn even redder. If that's even possible. You breathe in Oli's scent one last time. His familiar scent soothes you, finally you detach yourself from him.

Oli clasps your hands. "Are you ready." You exhale loudly. "Yeah, I'll be fine. But don't be mad if it goes bad."

"Y/N!" Oli looks at you reproachfully.

"You guys are so sweet. I would die for a love like that." Jordan sits in a chair, grinning, leaning far back, his arms folded.

"Come on dude, don't act like you're not in a good relationship." Oli releases your hands and walks up to the now grinning Jordan, only to lightly punch him in the arm.

"Ouch!" Jordan exaggeratedly holds his arm. "Don't act like that, I barely touched you." Oli stares at him with a motionless face.

You shake your head and stand next to Oli. "Don't fight." You try to mediate the two and put a hand on each of their shoulders. "Shall we get started now?"

"Of course honey. When you feel ready." Oli lowers his head to your hand, which still rests on his shoulder, he kisses your fingers lovingly. You look at him adoringly.

The moment is shattered as Jordan speaks up again. "I mean it, you guys are really cute together." You look to him, his eyes reflecting total seriousness. No joking around.

Apparently Oli notices too, because he slaps him on the shoulder with thanks. "Thanks man. I appreciate that."

"So I have to go in there?" You point to the small room with the mic. "Yep, I'll show and explain everything." You follow Oli into the room.

A few minutes later, you know how everything works and you're standing in front of the mic with headphones on.

You hold your phone in front of it, open on it is the text that Oli sent you.

"Babe, we're about to start." You look at Oli and Jordan and nod.

The music plays. Oli's recorded voice is heard, as it fades you start saying your lines.

"Please remain calm

the end has arrived

we cannot save you

enjoy the ride

this is the moment

you've been waiting for

don't call it a warning

this is a war."

The music stops. You look uncertainly at Oli and Jordan. Well, actually only Jordan, because your boyfriend is not next to him.

Suddenly the door next to you opens. Oli enters the recording room, grinning broadly. "I knew it! You have a talent for this." He pulls you to him and kisses your forehead.

"How good is it?"

"You're still asking that? It's perfect honey! Perfect!"

"Really? Then let's get right on with it."

Oli looks to Jordan. "Let's do that part with me. Okay?" Jordan raises his thumb. Oli grabs headphones that are lying around somewhere and puts them on. Oli winks at you.

You speak the same lyrics as you just did again. Oli leans forward to give his voice more power. It sounds powerful and beautiful at the same time. You smile at each other.

"Thanks Oli, that's perfect too. And sorry Y/N, but on the chorus we'll have to lower your voice a few octaves later." Informs you Jordan while he turns knobs.

Oli leaves the room, but not without giving you a quick kiss.

"So now we're already getting to the end of the song." "Ready." You say before Jordan can ask you.

He smirks and plays the music. Your only task now is to repeat the same phrase over and over.

"We cannot save you

We cannot save you

We cannot save you

We cannot save you

We cannot save you."

You clap your hands in delight as Jordan gives you a thumbs up. You smile as you see the other band members next to him. You quickly put down your headphones and leave the room.

"Hey guys, I missed you." You hug each of them in greeting. Oli stands next to you and wraps his arm around your waist.

"Y/N I'm excited." Says Matt. "That sounded really good."

Lee nods in agreement. "I'm sure the recordings are too."

"Guys, she even only needed one try for each recording. And you know how hard that is." Oli pulls you closer to his side.

Everyone makes an appreciative face. "Respect Y/N, respect." Says Matt.

You blush. "Thank you." Oli smiles.

"Shall we continue recording?" Jordan asks your boyfriend. Oli nods. "You can rest for now. Lie down on the couch."

He leads you to a comfortable looking couch. You lie down on it. "Honey may I have your jacket?"

Oli grins because you're shy. "Of course you can have it. Here." He takes it off and puts it in your hands. Immediately, his scent wraps around you. You snuggle it against you.

Oli rests his hands next to your head.

"I love you."

"I love you more."

Oli grins at your answer and leans down to you. Your lips meet.

"Do that at home, Oli we want to record."

Oli rolls his eyes, you grin. "Get some rest." He kisses your nose, then turns around.

Shortly after, you fall asleep to Oli's singing, clutching his jacket tightly as you do so.

Guys I have the most insane renbino idea ever (besides I hadn't posted about them for a while and I need to uphold my reputation of a crazy renbino girl hahaha)

Okay so basically since rules of Metaverse are like whatever enough people believe in something/are familiar with the concept of something, it can happen (like for example Morgana turning into bus), I wonder if enough people believed that for some reason fusion human with a god is possible, do V-kun and Aogami could fuse into Nahobino in the Metaverse, even if technically they couldn't do it normally in P5 world? I think it actually could be possible...

Okay so imagine if for some reason Joker and the rest of the Phantom Thieves wanted to test that hypothesis (idk when though since in my AU Ren and V-kun become a couple on the day you fight final boss but whatever 3rd semester maybe? Idk) so either Futaba spread a false rumor/copypasta with her hacking skills, or they ask Mishima to write them a story about something like that and put it on the net or V-kun could ask Dazai to make a "conspiracy livestream" about that (like "Dude, don't ask why or where i get that idea from... Just make a video about that, I promise I'm gonna buy you a lunch everyday for two weeks if you do") - or use 3 of these methods at the same time - like Mishima writes a story, Futaba help it spread and Dazai makes a livestream about Mishima's story (like idk live reaction), then after couple days/weeks take V-kun and Aogami with them to Mementos and test it out.

And imagine if the "test" turn out succesful and they would be able to fuse and here's some stupid short scenes about that because why not:

1.

*after successful transformation*

V-kun, in his Nahobino form: "So... What do you think, Ren?"

Ren: *instant nosebleed because how gorgeous Naho is* *getting dizzy and passing out*

*V-kun: freaking out*

Aogami in Naho's head "Young man, I think this boy lost too much blood..."

*other Phantom Thieves trying to wake Ren up, except Yusuke who immediately started making Naho's portrait and Futaba who is too much hyperfixating how cool Naho is and being like "Come on, do this sword thing from your hand again!"*

2. Ok this isn't really a scene but... Imagine the Phantom Thieves driving Mona-bus in the Mementos and Nahobino just naruto running like he did in SMT V with god-like speed near the car 😆😆😆 (and only Futaba recognizing the way he runs lmaoo)

3. A group encountering a shadows, who turns into a demons (or at least form that looks like SMT demons)

Naho: "Wait... Are these demons?"

Ren: "Oh yeah, I just remembered - I need new Personas"

*hit enemies weaknesses and start negotiating*

Shadow: So... Why should I become your mask?

Ren: Uhmm... Because I'm gay and cool?

Shadow: I remember now! I am thou, thou art I!

**PERSONA TAKEN!**

Naho: Wow, recruiting demons is so easy in this world? Maybe I should try it next time too...

*next encounter*

Naho: Wait Ren, let me do it, I want some demon for my stock, too!

Ren: Sure

*Talk*

Naho: Hey, become my demon!

Shadow (?): *coming closer and looking Naho straight in the eyes* Life Stone and 2000 Macca

Naho: *Emotional damage*

Then in the car, ranting "How it was even possible? It's not D'aat! I don't even have Macca anymore 😭😭😭"

4.

(if that was indeed 3rd semester and certain path was open)

Joker: So Futaba, where are we in Mementos right now?

Futaba: Let me see... We're on Path of D'aat right now.

V-kun and Aogami at the same time: *Intense Vienam flashbacks*... FUCK!

Okay so that was all funny scenarios I came up with haha making post about it cause I'm too lazy to make a fic :P

Thoughts on Helluva Boss Episode 203 (”Exes and Oohs”)

Pros:

- Crimson’s facial animation is great, especially when Moxxie and Millie first walk through his door, and when he finds out Chaz isn’t rich. His expressions convey a lot of menace through the timing and eye movements alone. It’s subtle, but I hope whoever animated those scenes knows their efforts haven’t gone unnoticed.

- I like the concept of Crimson’s trophy wall, which shows he actually keeps mementos of those he’s killed, seeing them as no better than animals for him to hunt. Now if there are actually cops in this version of Hell (which the existence of jail implies), this would look very suspicious if they ever stopped by, like a serial killer displaying the hands, eyeballs, etc of his victims. But I guess he could always press a button and flip them all to the dildo side if he didn’t mind the weird looks he’d inevitably get.

- I actually liked Moxxie’s introduction to Blitzo in the flashback. It showcases his fast-talking, big-thinking personality well. Shame he’d go on to treat Moxxie like shit after this.

- I wasn’t expecting the dildo scene to get a laugh out of me, but goddammit it did. It’s such an absurd overcompensation from an old straight dude who thinks he knows what the gays like that it caught me off guard. It’d be kinda tasteless if Moxxie were the butt of the joke, but clearly he’s the straight man (no pun intended) here. The real source of humor is Crimson’s misguided, ridiculously silly attempt to accommodate his son, which just shows how little he really knows (or cares to learn) about him.

- Fuck YES, Moxxie standing up to his dad. Great, satisfying scene. Now do it to Blitzo, Mox. It’s been a looong time comin’.

- Millie’s climactic fight scene is pretty good. The choreography is fluid, the kills are creative and fun to watch, and the music fits perfectly. There’s just one aspect holding the sequence back from being great, which we’ll get into later.

- Good ending. Shows what became of Chaz and hints that Crimson might try to get revenge on Moxxie in the future. More Crimson is a win in my book.

Cons after the cut.

Cons:

- Dammit, the “Moxxie is fat” jokes were never funny, show. Let ‘em die.

- So Crimson lives in the Greed ring, yeah? Why is everything green? The color traditionally associated with greed as a sin is yellow, while green is reserved for envy. For that matter, you’d think all the sharks here would fit in better in the Envy ring, since it’s ruled by Leviathan, a sea creature. Did they seriously just slap the wrong name on the Envy ring? They used the traditional deep blue for the Lust ring back in “Ozzie’s”, so this is a glaring inconsistency.

- I’ve mentioned before that Viv Medrano likes using the same design elements a bit too much in her characters (bow ties, gold teeth, differently-colored fingertips, etc), and it looks like we can add concentric eye rings to the list. Notice how both Striker and Chaz have these.

The other sharks in the mob have them too, but Striker’s an imp, not a shark (despite looking like he was ripped off from a shark), so it’s not species-related. Does it represent the characters’ personalities or serve any sort of plot function? Fuck if I know.

- Bit of a nitpick, but the black “cross” shape at the tip of Chaz’s nose is wildly inconsistent from scene to scene. Sometimes it’s thin, sometimes it’s thick, sometimes it has pointed tips, sometimes it has rounded ones. More thorough model sheets for the cleanup department would help mitigate this in the future.

- So prison is a thing that exists in Hell, huh? And so are banks, I guess. And they look exactly the same as they do in the human world. See, this isn’t the kind of episode that’d necessarily benefit from worldbuilding, since it’s not relevant to the plot (or not yet, anyway, but we’ll get there). But seeing all these ordinary settings just reminds me of how pointless the entire “Hell” thing is, and how no one could be bothered to invent a new world for the characters to live in. (Seriously, demon characters disguised as humans in the human world. I’m tellin’ ya. Barely anything in the story would change.)

- Guys, ya didn’t have to explain the Titanic reference. Most viewers probably would have caught it even if Blitzo hadn’t pointed it out. I’m sure even the zoomers who hadn’t been born when it came out would at least recognize the meme. Give your audience more credit.

- I’ll level with y’all: The dildo pixellation is distracting as hell. If a show made for network TV had it, fine, I understand. But Helluva Boss is made for the internet, which has much more lenient censorship standards. Hell, BoJack Horseman, a Netflix show, features a sex robot with a couple attached dildos, neither of which are censored. Is this just a Youtube monetization thing I’m not aware of? Because I checked their community guidelines, and while they mention “using sex toys to give viewers sexual gratification”, there’s nothing remotely sexy about their use in this episode. They function only as comedic props, not tools of titillation. All about that context, baby. Not that I’m super gung-ho to see a bunch of multicolored dicks in their full glory; the censorship’s just a little annoying.

- I understand the need to give Moxxie a reason to fear Crimson, but the physical violence is a tad gratuitous. Crimson didn’t really need to hit Moxxie’s mom in the past, or Moxxie in the present, to be intimidating. Abusers don’t have to lay a finger on their victims in order to frighten them.

I’m starting to see a pattern: Stella tried to hit Stolas, too. It’s like these writers think abuse needs to employ some physical element, or else it’s not really abuse. Which... no, that’s not at all how it works. And considering how Moxxie escaped an abuser only to find himself working for another one (oh, but he’s hard on him because he CaREs, guys! Yeah, bullshit), it only makes this sequence harder to watch. Mox deserves so much better.

- Helping his dad drown that guy seems like a traumatic memory for Moxxie, so why is he in a business where all he does is kill people? Hasn’t he ever wanted or tried to be anything else? A musician, maybe? We know he can sing and play guitar, so...

- Holy shit, did we really need that shot of Crimson with the dildos just after the exceedingly dark flashback? Talk about tone whiplash!

- I mentioned earlier that worldbuilding wouldn’t affect this episode’s plot... for the most part. The wedding scene is a case in which it would.

So, really think about this for a second: We’re in Hell. And there’s a wedding that looks like a typical one would in the human world. We’ve got flowers, an aisle, a block of chairs on either side, and...

A priest?!

Seriously, the dude officiating is dressed up like a Christian priest. White robes, hat, the works. Sure, his outfit and book have inverted crosses, but that doesn’t explain why everything else looks so similar to what you might see in a Christian ceremony. It’s like the demons of Hell saw a Christian wedding and were like, “Oh cool let’s do it exactly like that”. Don’t you think Lucifer, the king of Hell in this universe, might have a tiny problem with this??

And for that matter, why is marriage even a thing in Hell? Why do demons feel the need to justify their long-term relationships with human customs? Why can’t they form their own traditions to celebrate their love?

I get that this is all visual shorthand the audience will be familiar with. I get that they’ll take it all in and recognize this event as a wedding in seconds. But in earlier scenes, Crimson already established that a wedding would take place the next day. So with that label in mind, the audience should be able to tell that this ceremony was a wedding, no matter how it looks.

Would a more unorthodox version feel out of place in the very “humanized” culture and surroundings the show has established? Yeah, kinda. But there could be a throwaway line from the priest explaining that he insists on doing things the old way, with the traditions demons once embraced before Hell was overrun with human souls and human practices (”This is how we did it back in my day, before the sinners came.” Then Chaz is like, “Ha! You said came!” or something). This could be a glimpse into a demonic subculture fighting to preserve their heritage, which future episodes could explore further. Think of all the subtext and story potential packed into a single sentence. But, y’know, creating a by-the-numbers world is just easier. So.

-  Remember how I said there was one thing holding Millie’s fight scene back from being great? It’s the camera. It zooms in too far and moves around way too much, to the point where it’s hard to see what’s going on at times. Ideally, the animation and frame composition should work in tandem, hitting all the snapshots of action they need to hit for visual clarity, and doing little else. A bit of camera shake here and there is fine, but there’s no need for all this wobbling back and forth. I shouldn’t need Dramamine just to watch a damn web series.

- At one point, Crimson says to his minions, “What the fuck! She’s a dame! She’s a broad! Kill her!”, implying that women should be easy to kill. I don’t know if Horvitz improvised those lines or what, but considering that Crimson’s gang has two female members (one of whom we even saw moving a body earlier), it feels like there’s a disconnect between the dialogue and the art department.

I dunno, man. If women aren’t that tough, maybe don’t use them as soldiers in your crime syndicate?? Inconsistencies aplenty in this episode, sheesh.

In conclusion, running the script by another set of eyes during the writing stage would benefit this show immensely. I know it seems like I had a lot of gripes with this one (what else is new, amirite), but honestly, this is one of the better Helluva Boss episodes. When the series ends (or when the writing gets so bad I can’t watch anymore), I might post my personal ranking of all the installments I’ve seen. For the first time in a long time, I’m actually curious to see what kind of story the next episode will tell. It’s almost like a series with an episodic plot structure can be interesting without the creator’s favorite ship hogging the focus. Funny how that works.

Later!

What is your opinions on Magnus's memory box in the show?

hey! okay so i have super mixed feelings on this because

1) magnus closed his heart off for a century and i really doubt he's going to have easy access to stuff like momentos from lost lovers out and about when he's been trying to push it away and put it away. if he in fact got out that box to have around because he's in relationship with alec and opening his heart back up... that's actually kind of shitty and ooc for him. i feel like it would be something he did much later in their relationship.

or he did it in regards to their break up (bringing out the box) which meant he was going to put a piece of alec in there and if that is how it came across during the moments we didn't see... then alec deserves t make some snide comments about it (they're both petty bitches kay? magnus gets to be petty and so does alec and they can work it out themselves)

2) i don't like how they did it. it seemed more like a tiny box of trophies than mementos. so like, magnus keeps one little thing from his favorite or most painful of lovers? not entire chests of them for when he wants to go through them and remember the good and bad times? if he is that sentimental about it then a little tiny box of stuff wouldn't make sense? and they're just lying around with a tiny ward on it?

3) the whole set up seemed like he was testing alec tbh and that wasn't great. also the way he went about showing it to alec was super shitty and doesn't make sense for their character growth. it's one of the things i felt was ooc

4) alec's attitude was ALSO not it about the box. that being said, the way the writers had alec handle the box was really shitty even when it felt like magnus brought out the box to compare his relationships to alec with them. which left alec defensive and insecure because like... oh hey babe remember how im immortal and have had a lot of loves before you... look i keep little tiny records of them and they make me sad. one day you'll be in this box making me sad!! (is how the writers portrayed it)

5) alec understandably didn't handle that well and the dude is already a salty bitch and we all knw that being with magnus just upped his pettiness to obscene levels of salt and sass. magnus is really just irked that alec's pettiness is being directed at him

6) i think a lot of people ignore that alec is following magnus for the most part and letting him lead the relationship until alec gets the courage to go ask for more (which magnus almost always shoots down the first time or tries to get alec to slow down which makes alec hesitate to push forward again the next time. only for magnus to agree later because magnus tends to let his insecurities get in the way of his relationship with alec a lot). which then make alec more insecure as well

7) they both have a lot of insecurities and i think alec doesn't realize that about magnus for a while, because he doesn't understand how anyone couldn't love magnus and magnus doesn't realize that he is IT for alec. because magnus makes some shitty comments about being alec's first in everything which doesn't fucking make sense either (if i remember, things about alec would understand better or should go sow his wild oats or something like that)

8) pretty much i don't like some of these things in the show (the bx being one of them) because they turned it into drama rather than you know, actually something important and thats probably because several of the sh writers didnt knw how to write a good scene without adding 'drama' because frankly, most of them didn't care about the characters they were writing

9) this is one f those things i put up their with the stele. because uh magnus getting upset that his stuff is violated? magnus... babe... you fucking spied on alec half naked before you were in a relationship with him and then fucking stole his stele and gave it to people you knew were going to betray him and then you acted like you had nothing to do with it and were petty and rude to him when part of the reason he stayed trapped in that engagement was because the stele was stolen and then he felt he HAD to go through with the wedding

so like... magnus getting so upset about his 'trust' is pretty much bullshit in context because the way the show set it up it seemed like magnus didn't give a fuck about the consequences of implicating alec in treason. which we know isn't true. and then season 2 was all 'they trust each other' and then go on to do so many things that don't make sense.

i hpe this makes sense? sorry my keyboard is still sticking and i only use my editing spoons for writing and work

<3 lumine

look i love two petty bitches okay

but also they writers just were so back and forth with both magnus and alec on certain things

magnus deserved to have his past romantic relationships treated with respect and the joy and sadness that he holds them with. not as dramatic bs to make people go 'oh no! malec! what will happen next!'

*don't even get me started on alec and the soul sword. i can accept him needing a few days to figure out how to tell magnus/struggle with basically committing treason. thats fine. okay. sometimes you need to work your way up to it.

but what i will never accept or understand is that HE TOLD HIS SIBLINGS AND YOU FUCKING KNOW CLARY KNOWS AND PROBS SIMON TOO AT SOME POINT. ALEC WUOLD NEVER! he knows how stupid they are with secrets and that they completely lack discretion of any kind

so that was also ooc and absolute bullshit and even if we look at it from politics, alec would have wanted to tell his boyfriend because he's overwhelmed and not for one moment do i think alec would ever do anything robert asked of him. not even in good faith. so thats all bullshit. alec: oh i can't tell magnus... let me tell this group of people it makes no sense for me to trust with myself or my secrets

Mementos.

God, Ryuji fucking hates Mementos.

Dark and dreary and full of evil things that formed in the collective unconscious of everyone. It’s oppressive and cold and Ryuji has to fight his memories along with Shadows.

At least his friends come with him, at least he and Makoto fight together, at least Ann makes sure they don’t run themselves into the ground, at least Joker keeps a cool head when dealing with powerful Shadows and hostage situations.

Ryuji has been the bargaining chip in way too many hostage situations.

Things... shift when Akechi comes with them. Now he’s fighting alongside someone he would rant about, someone he used to despise.

It’s awkward, sure, but Ryuji is determined not to let that affect how they fight.

So when he (rather unceremoniously) pushes Akechi out of the way of an attack, he thinks nothing of it. It keeps the darling Detective Prince out of the way of danger- that’s all that matters.

Protect. Attack. Dodge.

It’s a steady rhythm, one he’s good at. One he can follow. One he can keep up with.

He’s good at attacking. He’s good at protecting. He’s... decent at dodging. He can duck out of the way of physical attacks, at least. That has to count for something.

When Akechi catches his balance, he gives Ryuji a dirty look that goes completely ignored. Ryuji is too busy blasting the Shadow to smithereens with Captain Kidd.

He knocks one down, gets a chance for a follow-up attack. He passes the opportunity to the guy he just shoved.

Akechi’s hand smacks against his, and Ryuji notices the way he almost winces. If he feels a pang of guilt for accidentally hurting a teammate, no one has to know.

Akechi summons Loki, finishes the job Ryuji started, smiles in satisfaction.

They move on, further and deeper into the place Ryuji fucking hates.

As the rest of the team moves towards the escalator down, Akechi turns to Ryuji.

“Don’t fucking push me like that again, Skull.”

Ryuji falters, hearing the venom and malice in Akechi’s voice. He turns around, trying to find some clue on Akechi’s face as to why he seems so pissed.

“Dude, I was just tryin’ to help. I took the blow for you, didn’t I? You coulda, I dunno, told me in a nicer way that you didn’t want me to do that. No need to get hostile,” he says, hiding his hurt.

His worth as a Phantom Thief hinges on how helpful he is to the team. If he can’t save his own teammates, how can he be expected to save people by changing their hearts?

He couldn’t save Shiho, he couldn’t stop her from jumping. He couldn’t save Mishima and the volleyball team, he couldn’t save them from being beaten black and blue. He couldn’t save his mom, couldn’t stop his dad from slamming her head against the wall and screaming at both of them-

“Skull? Oh my god, do you do this every time someone says something you don’t like?”

Ryuji looked up from the floor, head swimming. He was going to be sick. This place was bringing his worst memories to the surface, forcing him to remember all of the terrible things he had endured.

“...This place is going to make me throw up,” is all he says before turning on his heel and stumbling down the escalator.

He has barely enough time to warn the others about how he feels before he’s careening forward, world going darker than Mementos’s bottom level.

i love ryuji having a sort of "survivors guilt." he couldnt save people before so he deticates everything to saving his friends now. he probably feels like akechi is being an asshole to him trying to stop him from putting himself in harms way to save his friends but he really does care about him. he doesnt want him to get hurt because of other people but ryuji feels like he will only get worth from that.

And Now For Something, Completely Different...

Weapons in the Metaverse

Futaba: I was thinking about something that's been bugging me. Our weapons become real in the Cognitive world because they are seen as a threat, right?

Morgana: Yeah, they are.

Futaba: Akechi uses beam swords and a laser pistol to fight, and they are perceived as real. So...

Morgana: I think I have an idea where this is going.

Futaba: Hey Ren, can you talk to Iwai? I need him to get something special for me.

LATER IN MEMENTOS...

(Joker, Skull, Queen and Mona are facing off against the Reaper)

Morgana: I told you we were hanging around this level too long!

Skull: It couldn't be helped! There were too many treasure chests this time around! Plus we had to talk with Jose!

Queen: Lets just focus on getting rid of the Reaper.

Joker: Good call.

Queen: Joker, we need you to boost our defense, while Skull and I focus on--(a humming sound is heard behind them) Umm, what just got switched on?

Oracle's Voice: Guys, GET BACK!!!

(From behind them, a proton stream is fired and hits the Reaper hard as Oracle steps forward, wearing a proton pack and firing a blast from her particle thrower)

Oracle: How's a billion bolts of pure proton energy feel, sucker?!!

Skull: What the fu--IT'S WORKING?!!

Mona: I'm just as shocked as you.

Queen: Let's not question this---HIT 'EM WITH EVERYTHING YOU GOT!!!

(A few moments later...)

Skull: Out of all the things that you could pick...you went with THAT? What was that anyway? And why not a blaster from a game?

Oracle: Well the BFG9000 was too big for me to carry, and Iwai already had several models for sale so...

Mona: Can we discuss this later? Fox is still trying to sketch that explosion of the Reaper while we're speaking.

Fox: It was quite a magnificent display. I wonder if Iwai can provide me with one as well.

Joker: No. I don't want to risk any of us crossing the streams.

Queen: Especially Skull.

Skull: Why? What would be so bad about that?

Oracle: Think of it as the equivalent of getting caught peeping at Queen, Noir and Panther in the hot springs multiplied by 1000.

Skull: (face goes pale) Never mind. Forget I asked.

BONUS SCENE:

(The team confronts Akechi inside of Shido's Palace, and Akechi finally reveals his true self)

Akechi: COME, LOKI!!!! I will kill you...crush you...DESTROY YOU!!! Teammates are nothing but TRASH!!! (Loki is summoned before them.)

Joker: Come forth...GOZER!!!

Akechi: ...wait I'm sorry, did you say---(Joker removes his mask and Gozer appears before him, eyes glowing red)

Oracle: Ohh. I like where this is going.

Akechi: You think that weak looking piece of crap can stand with me?!!

Gozer: Are you...a GOD?

Akechi: No.

Oracle: Wrong answer, pancake lad.

Gozer: Then...DIE!! (Gozer raises it's arms and unleashes a very heavy barrage of energy, striking both Akechi and Loki so hard, they are both launched and embedded into the walls of the ship.)

Skull: Dude...always say YES.

Persona 5-The Daybreakers

This has never been dubbed into English, it is subbed through. Just letting people know.

I love Morgana 🤣🤣

They have to go down to the train station to access Mementos? I thought they entered from above. So they just disappear into thin air?

So this takes place sometime after Yusuke.

Why does Ren look pissed and disinterested?

I love the shot of them getting in.

Ren drives like I do. 🤣🤣

I can drive the cat. No, I can't.

They make Akechi even prettier 🥰🥰Also his eyes look more red here.

This dude looks like Wonder.

I know that beer brand 🤣🤣

Pink chalk?

Yusuke's friend looks like a wet puppy.

Does the game ever ask "Why don't they go to the police"? Like I know it's established pretty early on that the police aren't going to do anything (the game's words, not mine) and that's basically why the Phantom Thieves exist.

Ren is pretty 😍😍 And basically stalking that dude. Way to take tips from your boyfriend🤣🤣

I've never seen Ren wear a cross-body bag. Minus that uh, fashion disaster (IMHO) of a collab with a tourism thingy.

Damn, he really pissed... and hot.

Ren looked normal for a frame. Is this an AU? Like Ren's harder than usual.

Why does he react like he forgot Morgana was there? 🤣🤣

My man is risking his ass using Leblanc. Like I remember reading about this on the Wikia but really. I like how they weren't concerned about using Leblanc. Like really, especially cause Ren could get kicked out, property could be damaged, Morgana could get hurt, Sojiro could get hurt if he walks in. Not to mention it's just plain rude to be that careless. Ren has balls.

Where'd the panic light come from? They don't have Futaba yet. Iwai!?

If it wasn't Makigami? then who was it?

It was his brother, Yusuke's wet puppy friend. 😲😲

He's the leader? I thought he was the lackey😲😲 I thought the older dude was the leader.

That transformation was uh...

Where'd the bloody Oni come from? I thought we were fighting Mitras.

Add in the onion bird.

Ren is badass 😍😍🥵🥵

If Arsene's gonna get more lines. I would love it if it got dubbed. That's part of the reason I kept him. 😋😋😋😋

I like how they do baton pass all athletic and dramatic.

Long legs 😍😍

What I wouldn't give to be his position. 😍😍

"The arrogance in your heart. I stole it". (I accidentally flipped it although I think it works better the other way). It reminds me of a line from dancing. "Did you enjoy the show? Well, until next time". 🥵😍

Although, it sounds like intil to me. Same thing happened with Ippon Datara. I thought it was Ippon Tatara. In my defense, I had to learn what his voice sounded like.

Wait, this dude is a Mementos Mission. He's a combo of 2MM. 6/18 you get The Phantom Thieves vs. Burglary Ring. The story matches up halfway and the dude's name is Makigami but it never mentions him having a brother. It's even the same shadow. Fake-Man Show in 3rd sem has a brother that he abused and he says the same thing as his shadow disappears.

Morgana's dopey face. Maybe because I have it paused? 🤣🤣

Pretty girl in the crowd.

Just hear a random cat and find a key and a note 🤣🤣. That's how we got some of our cats. Minus the key and note.

He's kinda cute. Why does he look like a mix of Akechi and Natsume? But add in wet puppy.

😍😍😍🥵 Fuckin' gorgeous shot. Reminds me of when Morgana's floating away at the end/near the end of 5.

They went straight into Kaneshiro, without Makoto? I wish the game did that. 🤣🤣 Maybe it was near Kanoshiro to begin with.

So, that was a test run? I don't know how to word it. It makes sense, given that Ren's not that confident when he starts. It does provide insight on what thiefy lengths Ren is capable of.

A-1 (Steak Sauce🤭) animated this? It looks amazing. What happened between episode 0 and 1? Come to think of it they did the opening for Radiant Historia too. Which also looks great and it's on the 3DS. I think they also did a couple of P3 movies too. So, why does the anime look like it does?

Haru literally has the best persona, don't even play.

OKAY lets get caught up to where I am right now so I can close this bitch out and figure out how justified my ire at the ending is or not.

Not to repeat a complaint but I am extremely disappointed with the Mementos Depths as an area. It's all just.... what am I even looking at? What is this shit.

Anyway, the crew finally makes it to the bottom, to where the Treasure is.

The Treasure at the heart of the world is the Holy Grail, and it is surrounded by imprisoned worshippers who scream and cry when the Thieves attack it, and through their desire for the Grail, they give it more and more power.

So it's the Midnight Channel.

I'm not actually trying to be flip, trust me, but the degree to which this is just a retread of P4G is kind of weird.

Anyway, after a short pointless fight where the prisoners keep restoring the Grail's health when we try to destroy it, the Grail itself claims it's time for "fusion."

The skeletal structure of Mementos fuses into reality, bringing the cognitive world in to overlap with the real world. Notably, no one seems to notice the change except the Thieves and their allies.

Because the Grail is able to manifest the desires of everyone into cognitive reality, it decides that no one believes in the Phantom Thieves, and so everyone dissolves while thE FUCKING PHANSITE METER DROPS TO ZERO

MISHIMA YOU PRICKLY PRICK YOU'VE BURIED US ALL

How much of this could have been avoided if Reverie really did find Mishima's laptop and thrown it out the fucking window way back when I said? Everything, I bet.

The "rehabilitation" has "failed" so Reverie is sentenced to death by Notigor. But given the prison we just went through, I am pretty sure rehabilitation would have been Super Bad, so.

FINALLY the twins have had enough of this shit and are like "um, no we think killing our charge might be bad actually, what is up with you" and as they argue with each other, they figure out the truth.

LMAO I FUCKING KNEW WE'D END UP FUSING THE TWINS BACK INTO ONE.

Her name is Lavenza, the true Velvet Room attendant. She was torn by a malicious actor to prevent her from seeing that Igor was an imposter.

YEAH NO SHIT

bitch fuck all the way off, i wouldn't even split a brunch check with you, get your ass outta here and gimme back igor

it ain't even an interesting deal like the one with Adachi, you are such a poser

i'm so fucking happy your back igor i missed you so fucking much you don't even know, man, they had me chained up and were always threatening me with electric rods and no one was polite or hospitable and we were CHOPPING OFF PERSONAE HEADS to do fusions it was so fucked up igor i missed you you weird old man can you do a tarot reading for me and do a When Will I Stop Crying draw for me

i love you igor sob

out of universe note: how fucking fiendishly clever was it to use the "oop, our original VA sadly passed away" out to put in place a decoy igor who clearly wasn't the same dude at all but given the doylist reason for why he was so difference, maybe some people didn't get the twist, idk. how many people fell for the trick, i have no idea.

i mean i didn't because the velvet room was Uber Fucked from the second Reverie arrived but was it obvious to other folks?????

Part 5.2 of the trophy wife series. Things take a dark turn. Maybe. Maybe not. 😉

As Jack and Karina snuggled in bed after his proposal, Caylin was anxiously waiting for Jack to pop by her room. Jack, totally did not foresee himself proposing to Karina, was at crossroads. He didn’t know what to do or how to feel. He knew he loves Karina but Caylin is his first and longest love.

As Karina lay down and fell asleep blissfully, Jack decided to take a walk. Just as he left the villa, a text came in and it was from Isabella.

“Hey boss, like what you see?” Isabella texted.

“Woah, Isabella, you’re looking fine.” Jack replied.

“Meet me at the same place you were with Karina earlier.” Isabella replied.

“What? How did you know where I was earlier?” Jack replied.

“Just come over. I’m horny.” Isabella replied, ignoring Jack’s question.

Jack promptly made his way back to the secluded beach spot where he was earlier with Karina.

As he arrived, he saw Isabella going down on James, one of the swingers he met earlier.

Isabella upon seeing Jack arrive, excitedly said, “Boss, I want both of you to fuck me at the same time.”

So both Jack and James smiled at each other and shook over it. Isabella knelt in between both of them. As she was sucking James off, she was jerking Jack off. Whilst she was getting busy over the two guys, the two guys decided to have a conversation.

“So dude, are you gonna come to our swingers party tonight? I would love to have a go at your girl earlier. Karina was it?” James asked.

“Oh dude, I’m not sure I want to go. But I’ll discuss it with my girl and decide if we want to try that.” Jack replied, getting harder at the thought of someone else fucking his Karina. Isabella sensing his hardness, decided to suck it.

“But dude, I don’t mean to be rude but isn’t it a bit hypocritical that you’re getting sucked off by another girl and you’re refusing to let another guy fuck your girl?” James asked.

“Well, that may be so, but she’s mine and I can do whatever I want with other girls. It’s the way it’s been for the longest time and will continue to be like that.” Jack replied, arrogantly.

“Well, I respect your wishes, but just saying dude, you got to try some western pussy. Western girls really know how to get you going. I’m just here for some exotic Asians like this little cum dumpster because I’m bored of western pussy.” James said.

“What about western pussy is so good?” Jack asked, curious to find out more. He wondered how it’ll feel like as he’s only ever fucked 3 girls before.

“Just come and you’ll know know yourself. Trust me. You won’t regret it.” James said, winking.

Isabella suddenly said, “Now fuck me hard boys. The one that makes me cum first will get to keep my undies as a memento.”

James immediately said, “Bend over like a good doggy you are. I’m going to eat you out.”

Isabella bent over like a good slut and James started eating her out whilst Jack laid down on the sand as Isabella sucked him off.

“You’re so sweet and you taste so fine.” James said as he finished eating her and prepared to thrust into her.

The moment James’ tip lightly entered Isabella’s super moist and lubricated pussy, Isabella let out a shocking gasp, a mixture of surprise and pleasure.

Seeing how Isabella reacted, James continued teasing her pussy, and Isabella begged him, “Please James, give it to me. Please fuck me hard.”

“Call me daddy you little cum dumpster.” James said as he continued teasing Isabella.

Before Isabella could reply, Jack stood up and grabbed her head and started face fucking her hard, filled with lust and his ego of wanting to do better than James.

Tears sprung to Isabella’s eyes as she was being treated roughly by Jack but she loved it so much. James could not take it any longer and he thrusted deep into Isabella. Whilst she was being spit roasted by Jack and James, Isabella was not in control anymore. Jack and James were using her for their own pleasure and benefit. Both were equally rough and that gave her ultimate pleasure. James was grunting in pleasure as he said, “Fuck, an exotic Asian piece of meat is so tight and pleasurable. God, you have to come and let my dudes fuck you tonight.”

After awhile, Jack and James switched places, giving Isabella a short breather. Jack flipped her over and fucked her from the front. He’s always loved how her tits would bounce whenever he’s fucking her. As he was thrusting deep into her from the front and watching her tits bounce from the rhythm, James was getting his dick sucked off from Isabella.

“Oh fuck Isabella, I’m going to cum soon.” Jack suddenly announced.

“Boss, please cum in me. Please, unleash your cum deep in me. Please boss.” Isabella said, puppy eyeing him.

Jack lost it. He unleashed his warm load of cum into Isabella the moment she finished her sentence. As he climaxed, James high fived him for a job well done and Isabella turned to James and asked him to finish off inside her too.

As James started thrusting deep into her cum filled pussy, Isabella was licking Jack off. Within minutes, James managed to finish inside Isabella too and with a double cum filled pussy, Isabella sat there breathless.

“Boys, I enjoyed your thorough fucking. It was fantastic. I’ll see you tonight for the orgy.” Isabella said as she gave James a kiss on the cheek.

“Boss, let’s head back.” Isabella said as she held out her hand.

“Wait, how did you know I was here with Karina?” Jack asked as they were walking back.

“Karina texted me to come, to reward you if you proposed to her. Or to keep you company if you didn’t propose to her. Boss, she really loves you you know. I’ve never seen a woman do so much for a man before. You’re one lucky guy.” Isabella said.

At that moment, Jack felt an overwhelming feeling of gratitude and love towards Karina.

“Never let her go okay boss? Karina says that even though you guys will be married, you can use me as you please. And honestly boss, she really loves you to be able to share you with me. I’m just here for the sex because god damn boss, you know how to make me cum. And I’ve grown attached to you and Karina. I feel like I want you guys to be my god parents because I love both of you so much, despite your flaws.” Isabella said.

“Wow, I never knew that. Thank you for telling me, Isabella. I appreciate it and yes, in my own way, I care for you too.” Jack replied as he gave her a small hug.

As they were reaching the villa, Jack saw from a distance that Caylin was entering the villa that Marc and his swinger friends were at.

Instead of going back to the villa with Isabella to meet Karina, he said, “Hold on, come with me for a bit.” He then grabbed Isabella’s hand and hurriedly ran towards the villa where Marc stayed at. Luckily for him, he could take cover at a hut without being spotted by the swingers and he could see what Caylin was doing in the swingers’ house.

Next part coming up! Will he see Caylin for the whore she really is? Or will nothing happen to Caylin in the swingers villa? Will Karina want to go to the swingers party? Stay tuned to find out what happens.
