i love makoto so much but fanon does her so much better (the good parts of the fandom) because in the game her character is so lack luster. they butchered her confidant it is so borning and not even about her. they made her a cop. A COP. they pushed this "canon waifu" role onto her (before sumire came along and did it Even Worse). and it SUCKS because SHE IS SO MUCH MORE!!! SHE IS SO MUCH BETTER!!!! SHE COULD'VE BEEN SO MUCH BETTER!!! the way i feel about canon makoto is the same way i feel about the canon ryuji events post komoshida where he's horribly mistreated and used purely as comic relief: i ignore them <3 my game now <3 never happened <3 my ocs <3
You are so right. I generally apply this to all characters in p5 bc the game does such a shit job of staying consistent with character arcs and personalities. Theres a desperate need to throw in perverse jokes at the expense of female characters and a need to show that the police (as a whole) are reliable people who are not influenced by things like money and power; only the BAD cops do that. Not to mention this obvious fatphobia and homophobia but i feel likes thats a given.
But back to Makoto. Shes a victim of bad writing just like everyone else. Ryuji during the kamoshida arc was fighting with self loathing and genuine anxiety, and aside from the like. One comment on Panthers outfit in the metaverse, hes more than well behaved. All of that is shelved as soon as Kamoshida is gone and replaced with him being weird comic relief (and the focus of alot of sexual jokes that were nonexistent in the beginning of the game). Anns arc about self love and empowerment is completely dropped as soon as the nasty bad guy is put away (so that its good to be weird about her w the Good Guys). Makoto loses her a chunk of her personality to be the mature waifu which is INSANE to me bc shes like. Not okay or normal at all 😭😭😭 she THINKS shes responsible and so does everyone else on her team, but its an act! She doesnt know shit! And she doesnt know that she doesnt know shit bc shes respectful and adults dont care about anything as long as u respect them!
Its very telling that for literally every single thief (and goro), you can see the exact moment the writers gave up on adding anything of worth to their characters outside of the social links. Its like they didnt know what to even do w the characters at their disposal after their main arcs were complete. No mention of friends hanging out without you, no mention of having group hangouts. Everyone is treated as a core, important member of the friend group DURING their arc, but outside of it, they are acquaintances at best. Theres nothing in the game that convinces you that these guys are legitimately friends who care for each other and do Friend Things. And i describe it like that bc there IS a game that treats them all as friends, and its strikers! Strikers/Scramble genuinely feels like the game p5 wanted to be; a road trip w your team where they stay up at night talking to each other and hanging out and doing things together that dont necessarily include you, the player. Its refreshing and lovely but it sucks that u get that kind of attention to detail in a ‘spinoff’ title

So I finally caved (haha get it? cause the boys live in a- yeah I’ll see myself out) and made a tlb oc lol
Meet Florian!
Florian is 19, and moved down to Santa Carla with money saved from his job, having saved up to move from his jobs town once he was out of high school. A couple friends of his had plans to move down here and while he hadn’t really heard much of the town before moving but he had always liked the beach so he took the chance for a fresh start and moved into a small 2 bedroom apartment with one of his friends.
Once he finally got unpacked he decided to have a look around the town, both looking for something to do around the area and for somewhere to work.
He’s seen some pretty cool people down on the boardwalk, and really thinks he’s going to like it here.
He’s a little jumpy at times, while he doesn’t particularly like confrontation, he knee-jerk reaction to any aggressive behaviour and will likely match the energy of whoever he’s talking to.
Not the most trusting person initially but it’s pretty easy to get him to open up. Relatively easy going, up for trying any activity or adventure, and genuinely enjoys meeting new people. He’s also for a bit of a sweet tooth.
some extra info:
Likes: Rain, most animals, alternative fashion, the beach, marine life, aquariums, bright colours.
Dislikes: very hot weather, aggressive behaviour, bright lights, large crowds, smoke, gasoline
Hobbies: going on walks, rollerblading, swimming, embroidery, reading, drawing, playing guitar.

@candyheartedchy 's post made me think about mirrored version of my ship and at first I was thinking about just swapping their personality but then I remember that there was actually a chapter in the PPG comic where everything is swapped and Utonium family is basically a tyrant and the villains are the good guys.
Me talking about this uhh alternate universe (i mean.... it is technically an AU i guess?) undercut 🤧
Also lol plugging my commission info her heehee ∠( ᐛ 」∠)_
Like I mentioned, basically everything is reversed in this and honestly I really like their outfits??? Like the girls's alt clothes actually looks so cool I love it so much skdjdislsks but lol ignore that I want to talk about my ship.
For this AU I think both Chloe and Utoniu- excuse me, Cleo and Plutonium would be married except the thing is, Cleo is not really a human. She's basically a Frakenstein that Plutonium built because nobody wants to be with him becauae he's an awful human being lol so like the day she was activated Plutonium immediately refer to her as his wife. Despite being build by Plutonium and how she suppose to be like an ideal woman to him, she's pretty stubborn and often clashes with his commands. The times she would listen and obey him is when the action would benefit her. I would say that both of them are actually codependent and none of them could operate without each other and both of them are just so good yet so bad for each other akdjdkdoslxjdoq
As for personality, Plutonium is obviously much more direct and brash, he didn't really think through with his plan and reacts upon his emotion while Cleo is more cool and calculated and would orchestrate a plan in her head in what is going to happen and what is expected to happen. For that reason, she is mostly the one who arranges the agenda for Plutonium.
Do I think they love each other? I don't think so. Like i say, both of them are together just for each other's benefit, Cleo doesn't know emotion and Plutonium is just fucked in the head lol
Also I just find it so hilarious that the Powerpunk Girls and Plutonium's way of bonding is destroying each other like nothing says quality time with your family like trying to overthrow each other's tyranny for the week 🥰🥰🥰
This AU is so unserious I'm laughing at how ridiculous this is lmaososkslsoslsl

I never thought of them being a married couple even once throughout my Utonium brainrot term but I was thinking of them being a new parent and just feeling tired 24/7 having to navigate with taking care of their baby and work and both of them just look like shit and messy af because theyre just tired dot tm
But also hhh I dont really think they would struggle much tbh. Chloe takes care of her siblings when she was growing up all the time while Utonium always have a father instinct in him and he just immediately knows what to do hhhh but the thought of them being so tired and looking like crap because of parenthood is kinda cute to me 🤧🤧🤧🤧
