#notice how joker doesnt have a canonical name

[leoleolovesdc]

The fact that Batman insists on calling his villains by their names makes me feel so many things.

He insists on these people’s humanity even after everything they’ve done.

That’s not Poison Ivy, that’s Pamela.

That’s not Harley Quinn, that’s Harleen.

That’s not Scarecrow, that’s Doctor Crane.

That’s not Killer Croc, that’s Waylon.

That’s not Riddler, that’s Ed.

They’re not a “rogues gallery”, they are people.

Round 1, Group A: Matchup 4

Yoichi Isagi vs Ren Amamiya

Reasons for being generic + Propaganda below

Yoichi Isagi

Reasons:

he has black hair and blue eyes and looks sooooo generic because he looks like every other black hair and blue eyes anime character (etc kageyama from haikyuu) hes got the v shaped bangs and all 

hes the blandest looking little guy of all time. sports anime protag no less. mans is hello kitty in the sanrio collab even though his character colour is green and his design is all blues, because he doesnt have defining characteristics other than his status as protag.

Propaganda:

listen. hes bland. hes generic beyond belief. he has the bangs triangle. he got hello kitty in the sanrio collab. hes also a leetle unhinged and it wouldnt phase me if he started canonically eating people (this is not the kind of sports anime that includes such violence) (this IS a battle royale/danganronpa killing game style media though) he says the most off-the-wall wild shit on the pitch, and then someone will say something just like it while theyre Not playing socer and he'll just be like "alright um bye then" and leave? he sees everything as puzzle pieces and recently tried to refer to another players ability with a name he made up.. in his head.. and didnt tell anyone before..... the other player was understandingly just left like '??? wtf is metavision' hes my silly !!!!!

Ren Amamiya

Reasons:

He's got messy black hair and simple clothes. He's also got fake glasses in order to look less supsicious and blend in. His personality is also fairly bland bc he's a player character 

He’s a Japanese teenager with messy black hair and glasses. He literally only wears his school uniform or grayscale. I’ve never seen an MC look so much like I could’ve put his model at another desk in the background and noticed nothing.

Fairly normal high school kid who happens to get caught up in the fate of humanity and stuff. He did get in a minor altercation with a fascist politician before the game starts, which kicks off the entire plot. 

When he’s a high school student he just looks like. a fucking guy. I’ll be honest I haven’t played persona I’m just in love with him so if any actual persona fans find this bracket and submit him I bet they’ll have something better lmao - smashy bros fan

messy black hair with bangs. designed to appear basic and unassuming, especially when he is in school and doing other normal high schooler activities (rather than when he’s in the meta verse as Joker). wears fake glasses to seem even more generic and unassuming

He's got messy brown hair and is the only character of the main cast of teens to wear his uniform in the most proper and normal way. He is just A Guy. That's his whole thing, is to look generic and to not stand out.

he's got that slightly messy black hair swag grey eyes average tall-ish height normal outfits normal uniform swag. the most interesting thing he has going on appearance wise is normal ass black rimmed glasses. i wish we could put pictures so i could show you how normal looking he is.

To be fair this is more of a stretch! But he still has the black scruffy hair, and also he has glasses, boy looks generic. But that's actually kinda the point! He's supposed to "fit in" and all that!

i hate this man he is everywhere i havent played the game but hes a mostly silent protagonist with like a possible harem and i want him wiped from this earth. unfortunately theyve announced yet another p5 spin-off. god save us.

Propaganda:

He's already the hair down and then he purposefully dresses more generic in order to blend in how fun is that?

His whole schtick is hiding in plain sight and never letting anyone see his true self. He was traumatized by the Japanese legal system when he put himself out there to save a woman from assault, and so now he does everything he can to blend in. He doesn’t even need glasses; he wears them to be more generic and unassuming. He slouches for the same reason, to minimize his height and come off as another disaffected teenager.

his generic anime guy-ness actually matters to the plot. he was falsely accused of assaulting someone and has been branded a dangerous criminal, so he tries to make himself as unnoticeable/unassuming/generic as he can, hiding his true self in order to avoid further trouble from people that already assume the worst of him. it is a shackle society placed on him, and working in the meta verse as joker allows him to be his true self 

he is sooo special to me and very pretty. it's a good generic design that doesn't just look like an npc. extremely ordinary but not boring nor bland. cutie pie.

Already gave it but, it'd be funny for both Akechi and Joker to end up tied cause they both look pretty generic

Jason Todd Headcanons

wears doc martens most of the time, has a red pair and a black pair

never takes his shirt off, not even to go swimming. the scar is too much to look at

loves old rock and has tried to learn loads of his favourites on guitar to only learn one riff and give up out of frustration. his favourite is rock you like a hurricane.

smells like cigarettes and cinnamon

only the slightest bit shorter than bruce

has a lot of strange triggers from the incident, certain songs, radio static, blood on his face, wet metal, crowbars, the smell of fire, all of which vary in severity but all can make him jumpy depending on how the rest of his day has been

only ever talks about his feelings when it gets too much and even then it's only ever to Dick.

all his siblings have a spare key to his apartment and they're always welcome to stay when they've had a fight with bruce or have gotten hurt on patrol and dont want to tell him.

favourite tv shows are shameless and AHS

his apartment is always messy but its ordered mess like the dirty laundry is out but it's always in the same pile by the window

favourite video games are doom and modern warfare 2

has a twitter account for the red hood which he posts random photos on when on patrol like one minute it's a tweet talking about burning his mouth on a pop tart then it's a photo of joker getting stuffed in a GCPD car

he can cook really well, but only does it for other people

The whole family have a colour code for flashbacks/panic attacks. it makes it a lot easier to say a single word and for everyone to understand. Red is bad but not completely shattered, Blue is like the midpoint (could slip out of it but could equally get worse), and Black is the worst one. It was Jason's idea to put this in place.

doesn't label his sexuality but isn't opposed to the idea of dating any gender.

when he has free time on patrol, he does his best to donate money and food to homeless kids, because he had always needed people to do it for him.

He has nightmares quite a lot. If he has one, he'll usually just start doing push ups or something else like that instead of trying to go back to sleep. Exercise has been a coping method for him along with reading but they both get less effective.

Frequents this one taco truck and knows the workers by name

Speaks English and Spanish fluently and knows a bit of German but has forgotten a lot due to not using it

Lends his siblings his jacket the second they mention the word "cold"

When he's mad he'll say shit like "you really call this a family? they're just fucking strangers you took in." but would gladly take a bullet for them all.

Never really says "brother" or "dad" but will say stuff like "just because you're my dad doesnt mean you can tell me what to do" or "hah this is why you're my favourite brother"

gets mad at others super easily and says a lot of very hurtful stuff, goes right for a personal insult instead of just calling them an asshole. This has led to a lot of physical altercations

absolutely despises mayo

is bad at relationships

(I have no idea how divergent this is from canon but) his past before bruce is something he hates. his dad was abusive and got his mom into drugs which she ultimately ODed and died on. he ran away and they never noticed until years later when he was in a newspaper with Bruce.

got his ears pierced once but they went all gunky and closed up

he's broken his leg twice and got shot so many times

necks down jack and coke at galas instead of talking to people

@ren-amamiyaa and their (he/she?) Golden Heist, Thief Nanako and Cryptid Chaser aus flooded my brain and now Im making this post bc I cant fit all of this in asks!!!

All right, so, idea. Cryptid Chasers, Thief Nanako and Golden Heist are all connected righr???

CC acts as a prequel, TN becomes the inbetween starring Nanako and Akechi, and GH stars a broken and older IT and slightly jaded PT.

So far CC has Yosuke and Naoto forming the brotp that fanon wanted through silly Saturday Night Ghost Chasers Shenanigans, Akiren is bein' a lil shit at midnight bc he needs an outlet and exercise to Phantom Thief. While this goes on, Akechi's ghost/spirit/rement/heart/whatever pulls pranks and shenans along with Joker (hiwever that happens).

As the Cryptid Chasers keep going out of their way to confront Joker about Arsene (bc even he likes to mess around) the other IT in Inaba start to try and stop them from disrupting the peace (read : harassing a known criminal) and this somehow leads to a falling out. Mayhaps Naoto and Yosuke break a few laws and Chie busts them, Kanji wants to know why theyre stalking his student/protege, and Yukiko just wants to keep the rumors about the inn in check bc jfc Yosuke STOP SCREECHING IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT IN THE LOBBY THERE IS NO GHOST ON THE TV!

Maybe eventually they call it quits or dont bc Naoto dug this hole too deep to climb out themself and Yosuke is having the time of his life since Partner isnt around and hasn't come back to visit yet (Not sayin' souyo is canon and there but-). And the Cryptid Chasers arc probably ends here with there being some animosity towards their shenanigans , but the IT are all still friends.

Now fast forward to like, uhhh (*flings dart at wall of calendars*) 2014 during winter and Akiren's cryptid acts are now fully accepted and maybe exposed, who knows. Nanako is like 10 ~ 12 (P5 is maybe three/five years post P4 I believe) and is just going through the motions of public education. I.E. go to class, do work, get good grades. Dojima is still the same as he was before Yu came but is at least doing better at being a dad, not much but better. Yosuke and Ted aren't around as much bc Junes, Chie is transferred to Tokyo, Yukiko is busy managing the Inn, and Kanji is busy with work (as a teacher and crafts business owner). Rise unfortunately cant come visit and Big Bro now visits every other year.

Nanako starts to look back and wonder how things started to fall apart amongst the group and recalls that "delinquent" who came back at the same time the Cryptid^tm showed up and ruined the group. So now she starts to remember the good times when Big Bro came by and starts to notice some blanks around winter... Why was she in the hospital when she got kidnapled? Why does she remember these weird flashes of Big Bro and his friends and some monster?? And how come she tried to ask them anything about it they brushed her off each time???

The TV in her room flashes and soon she starts hearing things. She starts to move closer to the tv, as if she was in some sort of trance, as the sounds start to become voices to her. When she's directly infront of the screen she sees something... someone on it...

Nanako doesnt show up for breakast, or to school, and nobody seems to have seen her.

A full year passes on after that day. It starts off with a big search party of the IT and Social Links for the first two months, then after ankther three something stange happens... are people forgetting that Nanako existed or something? Everybody's starting to act like completely different peoplw than who they are too, some even end up hospitalozed due to severe headaches and such, and start claiming that Nanako was never around when she vanished or that she left Inaba or was already deamed dead or missing. This rings alarms in the IT's mimds as they search for answers, eventually all fully reuniting for the first time in years/months.

Naoto and Yosuke blame themselves bc they piece together her disappearance with the Cryptid + Ghost case and immediately get scolded for trying to pin their stupid kids game on a missing person's case - especially now with Nanako missing and possibly in danger again! Afterwards the IT are a bit on edge and a bit broken with the whole thing. Meanwhile Akechi can hear the tale ends of "missing person" and "literal disappearnace" and starts looking into this weird limbo metaverse he's in bc some shit is kinda fucked in here now for some reason. They're pretty much only together as a team to rescue Nanako.

GH in the PTs POV starts when Akiren invites the group to the Amagi Inn thanks to licrative money grin- I mean training. He comes clean into having seen something weird on the tv one late night and wants to let the gang know.

Midnight rolls around and Akechi shows up on the screen and the Thieves losing their shit is an understatement - numerous noise complaints were filed that night. Anyways Akechi decides to just play the role of "hey moron, some shits fucked come help fix it" and ends up informing them of a missing girl and this weird TV Mementos world he is in.

I would like to note that Akechi is not at all bitter or confused at everyone's circumstances in life, no of course not Joker stop crying I know its been a while but shutup theres a kid in trouble rn and youre the only ones who can possibly help her.

When the PT figure out a plan to reach this other world Goro is in (Arsene : THOUARTTHEESTICKYOURHANDINTHETVDOITDOITDOITDOIT) the IT eventually come to the very sad conclusion that Nanako moght be in the TV world and that opens a whole can of worms and burnable bridges to cross.

While in the TV world, I'd like to imagine that due to Akechi having been there for a good while it has been shaped to reflect his heart and be the new overall theme of that world. It all still looks like Inaba, but it all holds themes to Akechi and his no good terrible life. However due to Nanako having been in that world as a kid, and now for an uncertain amount of time, the world now holds motifs to the Heaven area from P4, but it's all sorta ruined and kinda darker.

When both teams get together and enter the weird Tele-Mentos world (IT in a Junes storage and PT at either Ren's pad [bc he moved out obvi] (OR bith teams enter from seperate TVs at the Inn so SHENANS!)) Yu and the IT go through Akechi's influenced world/TV Palace, finding out about his tragic backstory and involvement with the PT, but anything that can and could reveal their true identities is blurred and staticy or missing bc Akechi aint gonna snitch out who ruined his sperm donors life (also I guess saved the world too yeah). While going through the Palace the Team starts to think that finding Goro will just be an "if it happens" sort of deal bc he's been missing for years already, what if we just leave him here bc M U R D E R E R.

Cue a sudden appearance by someone in some sort of fallen angel garb who starts whipping out a full on Metal Gear Villain monologue about how hypocritical the IT are when they find the truth about Akechi's life and disappearance - they claimed to want to live in a world where no one hides in the fig, was that all a lie? Are they going back on their word, and hiding behind a shriud of lies and falsehoods once more? "You've gone and lied and hidden the truth already, what's to say you won't continue?"

Meanwhile Akiren and the Thieves enter at the very top of the Heaven TV Set and have to climb all the way down. As they do so they start seeing little murals or epitaphs about memories and people in this girls life. They see all of these memories of a happy girl who had such a loving family - both found and by blood. As they go further and further down the ruins start to look like an actual Heaven, and the scenary becomes more bright and colorful. Eventually they might run into Crow in his Black Mask clothes and give the bastard a slug on the arm and a group hug or two, bc man he doesn't deserve to suffer anymore like this.

Now that the Phantom Thieves have been reunited (Akechi : I can't leave this world The PT : FUCK, MORE PLOT) they end up thinking up ways to get Akechi out until this weird angel priest looking dude shows up and starts babling about how they are criminals and how they've done more bad than good and blah blah blah. Everyone is just all "We're the good guys, we do the right thing even if its morally grey/ambiguous!" and oh look! Another crazed maniac wants to kill us for our "injustice" *Crow has the decency to look away and not say anything* annnnnnd Heaven is locked off. Perfect.

Now maybe the Phantom Thieves and Investigation Team run into each other somewhere in Akechi's Palace and "You have Personas?!?!" "The hell is a Palace?" "YOU'RE THE CRYPTID OF INABA!!?!?" "And Im the 'Ghost' that follows him." "Wait you followed me as a ghost?" "WAIT WHY ARE THERE TWO AKECHIS??!??!!"

Oh yeah, Shadows... Akechi is still kinda in denial about the whole friends and justice thing...

And now the Dark Priest is back great ("Good name Skull" "Well I've got my moments right?").

Annnnnnnd now I have no idea what happens next and Im all burned out but AAAAAAAAA this entire AU crossover thing is so GOOOOOOOOOOD!!!!!

[zatyrlucy]

What Headcanons do you have for each character from Villainous? (Especially about BH and/or Demencia if you have more)

I’m really sorry for the very late answer, but as I wrote yesterday I was in a travel/ journey/trip or whatever word is lol I saw this before I left but I wanted to give you a good long answer instead of a short and fast one. 

Flug

-He is german or icelandic 

-His parents are villains (how else do you explain being in Black Hat’s academy at a shortage?) 

- He could totally kill Demencia but BH prevents him to do so 

- Because he has been a long time with BH he has been learning to act and even speak like him

- When he is angry he speaks in his native language (German or Icelandic)

- He is a cleaning and order obsessive 

- He uses his bag because of a terrible accident, but it happened on the upper part of his face (this according to a twitter publication of one of the members of the crew, where it shows that Flug is able to grow a beard, that means the skin of the lower part of his face must be healthy) 

- The accident affected his eyes and that’s why he always uses goggles. 

- Flug has a mathematical kind of intelligence, very serious and calculating. Bad to communicate with others, but good to create and plan strategies. 

Black Hat 

- Black Hat really tries to speak in a very elegant way, but most of the times his temper takes the best of him and thats why he ends talking with mexican insults 

- drugs doesnt affect him and thats why he considers them boring and prohibited in the mansion 

- Black Hat knows how the human mind works so to trick people he can pretend to have human emotions (like that only time he acted romantically with demencia or kind with 5.0.5) 

- He likes to spy his minions, thats why there are so many portraits of him around the house, to keep an eye on them. 

- As part of the last one. BH can totally see what demencia is doing thanks to the puppet she made with his form. (then, I think BH is closer to demencia than the other minions of the house). 

- He almost never changes his clothes and when he does, is in a very little way is difficult to notice. 

- He does a lot of human activities because of boredom like playing golf or drinking coffee (yeah I know this one is canon but I believe he does even more human activities we haven’t seen).  

- BH can totally have sex but he doesnt feel anything with it so that’s why he considers it boring too and only uses it to trick or kill people. 

- His only pleasure in life is doing evil so maybe raping is the only way he could feel something while doing sex (of course Im sure this one will never be confirmed in the show xD) 

- He is like a god 

- BH wants someone to replace him, to be as evil as him to conquer the world in his name (because he does no longer have the motivation). 

- BH could easily reproduce (sexual or asexually) but what would be the fun in that? He prefers to train his future replacement from the beginning (I think Flug is the chosen one and also the reason 5.0.5 was created in the first place)  

- He is talented with music, he can sing and also play any instrument he wants…but it has to be an evil instrument (like the violin or the organ which are instruments related to villains or the devil). 

- BH can manage all the different kinds of intelligence, but he only uses them according to the situation 

Demencia

- She totally has dementia

- She has a nasty appetite, like an animal, or even worst 

- She is a cannibal, and BH totally adores that. 

- She is also talented with music. She can play the guitar and also sing well. 

- She steals from Black Hat, especially his clothes. BH knows, but he doesn’t care. 

- Any weapon she uses can be lethal. She could kill you even with a spoon. 

- Despite not taking showers she takes good care of her appearance. 

- Raccoons are the only one animals she like, she fights with any other kind she finds. 

- Demencia has the social kind of intelligence, energetic and extrovert. Can communicate and understand with others easily, in that way she can trick them and even kill them without problem 

- She reads magazines and comics (those inspire her to start drawing) 

- Her parents are probably dead or don’t know where she is so is very improbable to see them in the show (they could be heroes or even agents but that’s more of a theory that a headcanon). 

- She was a normal human before BH transformed her into what she is now 

- In the same style of the Joker and Herley Quinn, Demencia probably was a good person but she fell in love with BH to the point she lost any contact with reality. 

- Her room is that place with the big window you can see from outside the mansion. 

- She can sleep anywhere, like a cat. 

I don’t have any HC for 5.0.5, sorry. I don’t think much about him, mostly because he is a very simple character so I don’t find very much room for theories or ideas. He was created by Flug in a lab, from BH’s DNA and he is a cinnamon roll who can’t kill, not even a fly…So yeah, not much to think about. 

mmm … My only HC is that he has the same powers of BH but he probably will not release them until he gets really angry, but, being the coward he is, that probably won’t happen in a long time.
