shuake week day 2 - new game plus

plus, bonus!

[blueblurseptember]

what i absolutely love about having two characters who are narrative foils in a story is that, aside from the fact that together they tend to make an interesting ship, it's also almost always true that all the other characters these foils have great chemistry with have the potential to also work well with their narrative half.

and eerily enough, the appeal or dynamic of the offshoot pairs would turn out to be mind-blowingly similar at core. it's literally like algebra. i have no words.

Please tell us about Shiho!

omg hi. shiho suzui my favorite persona 5 npc. i think she was genuinely robbed by not having a larger role like she could totally have been a confidant...

I haven't convinced my sister to sit through the new Royal content so I can convert her to the Akeshu ship. So these are early, I'm making these to cope I guess, and as a callout.

Some more shuake decision to leave stuff. I just love that film and these two idiots.

Also, I'm glad a lot of people like my shuake Decision to Leave drawing I posted before. Hope it made your day slightly sadder! jk jk

Here's Decision to Leave ending theme to pair with the comic.

Nothing drives me up the wall more in the Persona 5 fandom than when people act like they'd be so much better than Akechi in his position. "Well, I would know better!" Bullshit. You don't know that. Japan's treatment of illegitimate children is so heinous that I don't think it's easy for westerners to comprehend. As I understand it, when you turn 15, you're thrown out of the system. Akechi was... how old when he approached Shido? Ah, yes, 15. Likely, he'd been cast out to fend for himself when Yaldabaoth gave him the power (with very malevolent intentions). Shido has his cleaner and his connections. Even if Akechi quit, he wouldn't be safe in the real world. Maybe in the Metaverse, but how long could he even feasibly stay there before needing to eat and sleep? There are safe areas, sure, but those are hardly accommodating, and people severely understate the impact Shido could've had on his mental health once he did join with him. Look at Yusuke and Haru, both of whom were abused and neglected by their parental figures. Both of whom had difficulty even acknowledging what was wrong. Haru continued to downplay her father's crimes and atrocities as well as his abuse of her, likely in part due to her grief and in part due to her wishes for what he could've been. Trauma and mental illness as well as a lack of support systems can break people and push them to make reckless choices because they believe there is nothing else they are good for. The Phantom Thieves were lucky enough to have each other, and that saved them from going down a dark path. Any one of them could have and, hell, if Yaldabaoth had chosen Yusuke or Haru, for instance, there's no way Madarame and Okumura wouldn't have taken advantage of that power and made them do heinous things. Just... god. I really hate the armchair "well, I'm smart enough to know better and I would take homelessness over ~murder~." It's easy to say that when you haven't suffered years of neglect and presumably abuse in a society that sees you as less than human due to circumstances outside your control (e.g. being an illegitimate child whose mother did sex work) in a country that is opposed to adoption overall and just... Argh. And this all started because I tried to point out that, hey, maybe calling Shuake toxic in a server for a fic that is one of the big Akechi and Shuake fics isn't the kindest thing, tried to explain things, and it just blew up. While also pushing for why their preferred ship is better and like... god. I hate that so much. ._. Fastest way to turn me off of a ship is when really hostile fans use their preferred pairing to tear down one that I really like. Just... blargh. What a way to start the day.

hellooo may i ask can you give us thoughts on about Akiren f!s/o goro in a ploy relationship ?? :3

i think about this everyday /j

i honestly think that they are one of the few pairings that would work in a poly relationship. i really, really love shuake whether as their simple interactions and their different views on justice or as romantic partners with competitive spirit.

i feel like if they were to be in a poly relationship with another one, it would be someone who can keep up with them and someone they truly trust. goro would want to be with someone that has either a strong philosophy or an interesting viewpoint. plus points if you are firm in your beliefs and are not easily swayed. akira would want someone passionate, and willing to fight for their justice/something they believe in.

since this is a poly relationship, consent is a must. it would take a while for this to form, especially since goro does not trust easily.

in the relationship, however, both you and goro are always spoiled by akira's cooking :3 if you also have an interest with cooking, akira would LOVE to let you in the kitchen. goro is banned.

you guys have a weekly routine. akira is a man of habit, so if you guys started watching movies on a sunday night while cuddled up with eachother, best believe it is going to be a tradition! you guys take turns picking movies.

i feel like, if given the chance, goro most definitely spoil both of you with material things. i like the idea that goro bought himself a black ring, a red ring for akira, and a black with red accents ring for you. it's kind of like a promise ring.

communication is essential in all relationships. so if you are uncomfortable with something, feel free to talk to akira and goro! akira is very understanding and gentle, while goro is kind of inquisitive.

so um. remember how i said goro and akira can get a bit competitive. WELL. that applies here. like sometimes akira will ask for a hug, and then afterwards goro will ask for a hug AND a kiss. it's mainly playful in nature, though!
