#verse (makoto): post p5

[personaiiisms]

@oraclememehacker liked for a starter with Makoto!

"Hello Futaba. Have you been holding down the fort without us?"

Makoto smiled as she walked into LeBlanc. It had been quite a while since the last time she was here; she hadn't even officially started college yet, and the thought of moving out from being with her sister to an apartment with Haru had been a plan, but still just that.

So much had changed since then. Soon, Futaba and Sumire would be the only two left at Shujin. Once they graduated, there wouldn't be anyone left to really remember all the horrors that had happened there.

In the same breath though, no one would remember all the good they had been able to do too.

The meeting today was mostly a happenstance one. She always meant to come by more often, but it felt so hard to find the time. With no class on Sunday, either her own or at the dojo, and Haru being busy, there wasn't much else for her to do.

Not that Futaba was an afterthought - but it did feel weird coming back. Like this wasn't a place meant for her, but a place meant for the Phantom Thieves. Joker, Ryuji, Ann-- even Yusuke had taken to hanging around, but neither herself nor Haru had ever felt quite the same level of at home.

Futaba was there with Sojiro. Makoto smiled, moving to take a seat at one of the booths closest to the counter.

"Are you keeping up the tradition of being one of Shujin's student council members?"

Let me kiss you - for Makoto and Sumi (wildxcardrebel)

“Let me __ you.” Finish in my ask!

Oh...well, that's rather bold of him...but they were dating now. Doesn't that mean he can kiss her whenever he felt the urge? He shouldn't have to demand it in such a way, but...such a strong proclamation made Makoto feel a certain way. A racing heart, a loose knot curled inside her stomach, unusual warmth blooming from her cheeks...

Only Ren could make her feel like that.

"...y-you know...it's okay if you'd like to do it without asking me..." He didn't need any permission from her. Spontaneity was a Ren specialty, and an aspect of the thief the brunette fell for way too hard.

Jump cut to:

Another kiss? He's shared too many with her before, and each time it left the first-year frazzled from shock and astonishment. Sumi never denied his gestures but after every kiss she couldn't help feeling selfish. Wanting another? Wanting more from him? Asking him to stay with her? She shouldn't impede her desires upon him if he didn't share those same thoughts.

But why keep coming back? Why did he always add an extra bout of affection when they parted ways? Why single her out just to share a private moment together?

"I haven't stopped you before...Senpai..." Nervous hands clasped together, tucking themselves behind her back as crimson eyes barely held Ren's gentle gaze.

For every 📎 I get in my ask box, I’ll post a thread that I want to do.

((A P5 verse—I was going for Fuuka being in Futaba’s shoes but with Fuuka’s brother being in the pic, maybe Makoto’s shoes?

Maybe Fuuka in sae’s shoes! Never really thought about it a lot tbh))

persona 5 strikers thoughts and feelings

This is going to be a long post. Like, the type of post you’d only really have time to read when you’re trying to sleep but you’re not ready to be unconscious yet so you’re just looking for something to do to spend your time with minimal effort. 

So in 2018, a masterpiece was born into the world: Into the Spider-verse was released and it was amazing—it’s honestly the best spiderman movie we have without a doubt, and it’ll be very far into the future before Spider-verse is beaten as the best spiderman movie. Them’s the facts. Then in 2019, Spider-man: Far From Home was dropped. It’s a great movie! Great characters, great continuation of who these characters are and works fantastic as a continuation of a story. It’s really hard trying to take the torch of a previous movie (or in Marvel’s case, juggling twenty something movies) and come up with a new movie that both works on its own, as well as being the next step in this series of films. Thus, with that idea in mind, I think it’s kind of unfair to judge into the spiderverse and far from home, because these are two movies with two completely different objectives in mind. 

Okay, so this is still a persona 5 strikers post, I promise, but the idea is the same: Persona 5 could basically do whatever it wanted—new story, new characters, new everything, and it’s just plain old awesome. However, Persona 5 strikers did not have that sort of freedom. It was bound to the original game, and it had its own rules and stuff it had to keep intact, characters they had to work with, and on top of that, it had to justify its existence as a sequel (lets pretend money doesnt exist lmfao). 

SO, the big question is: did it do that? Did it justify its existence? 

And my answer: holy fuck did it ever do that

I came into this game knowing the extreme bare minimum. I knew there was someone named Sophia, and i knew there was roadtrip, and i knew there were Personas. That’s my knowledge of it before i played it on the Switch.  I should also clarify like, early on, that i was not expecting anything from this game. At all. I was the world’s biggest cynic of this game—if you scroll down my p5s tag far enough, youll just see me complaining about a game that hasn’t even come out yet. I was fully expecting to have this be a Waifu show, and any male character that isn’t Akira to just be shoved aside like some kind of nerd in a high school hallway, and i have never been more pleased to be wrong. In fact, i actually owe it an apology, because of how fucking rude i was for no reason!!! Because this game deserves everything to be honest. 

Persona 5 strikers is, frankly, insane. Insane in the sense that it got to pull shit off that just would never have existed in the original game, because the original game is scared. It had to be as impressive as possible and garner as much attention as possible. Strikers does not have that problem—every single person who bought that game does not need to be convinced that persona 5 is a good game. They already played it. That means Atlus can just fuck around and have a good time, and man did they have a good time. There’s still scenes that still shock me if i think about it too hard, because i’m used to atlus having to follow this sort of rule set when it comes to persona 5 (or any of the main games im assuming, but i havent played them.) And on top of that, there’s still shit that’s Atlus Trademarked Branded in a good way. The style of story of story telling, and revealing the mystery that is so integral to what p5 is, is still there. 

So, to make this even a little bit comprehensible, i will make a list! 

First of all, What is this game?

In short, this game is an OVA of an anime. It’s bonus side content that has one thing in mind: to showcase these lovable characters more by putting them in fun situations. That’s it, and it is just phenomenal. That was the main point of, i’d say, like forty hours of the game. It’s just fun times with fun characters. 

But to get deeper of what i think is happening, or what they were thinking during the development, is that this is a second opportunity. Persona 5 (as we all know) had a lot of problems, and we were not quiet about those problems. We yelled it all out, made posts, made complaints on every social media platform ever. And Atlus heard all of them, and Strikers is a way to mitigate those mistakes. Aside from being a fun OVA, Strikers also works to be a deeper exploration of these characters—more specifically, the characters that did not receive much in the original game. Creating this sequel is having the ability to redo what they felt (or to be more specific, we felt) in the original game while adding new ones. I will get to that in a second.  

The format of the game 

Absolutely brilliant to throw them on a road trip. P5V already forced us to experience Shibuya for 200+ hours, and im so glad that they didn’t do that again. Going from town to town, making us experience these new places alongside our favorite characters is so good, and it just makes sense. It’s fun, it’s lighthearted, and it’s actually shockingly good. But one thing i do want to talk about early on is the way the story unfolds and the villains that they use, and what they do with it because it’s very interesting. 

So as we explore japan and stuff, we encounter jails, and with those jails comes an antagonist. This antagonist works to be a parallel to one of our characters. That character will find it in their hearts to feel bad for the antagonist, because the antagonist could have been them had the original game not happen. At first I thought all of the thieves were gonna get an antagonist, and i was really hyped for the ryuji one. And then came to hour forty of the game where i realized “yeah that’s not gonna happen. There’s just not enough time.” And i was right, and the game ended. But i am not salty at all, honestly, because the people who got a direct antagonist were: Ann, Yusuke, and Haru. (we wont count zen and sophie). 

Is there a trend??? Yes. these are all characters in the original game that have received the worst treatment by atlus. The three of them are basically cast aside the minute they finished their original arc, and its horrible! BUT that’s why this is the path that atlus chose for them—to give them more depth, and screentime, and a way to show their inner self. That isn’t to say that the ones who aren’t those three (makoto, futaba, mona, akira, ryuji) didn’t get anything. Futaba still has her thing at the end with ichinose, and she was very prevalent and animated during the rest of the game. Mona and Akira have to be a focal points, that’s just the nature of the game. The other two though, I will talk about in depth in a second.  

Makoto

Y’all i poke fun at shumako fans sometimes cause its kind of easy and fun, but i honestly love makoto. In my very first playthrough of p5 (my first ever jrpg game, first persona game, i had no idea what i was doing), i had only maxed out two characters: ryuji and makoto. And i know she had a lot of screentime and love in the original game which is great, but i truly felt like she was dissed in this game. Her only roles were

A driver

Someone to tell them “we don’t have a choice. Let’s keep going and see where this takes us.” (seriously, if you replay this game, you will see how much she does this)

Idk, i just wish she had more to do, especially compared to how much love they gave the other characters. 

But let’s talk about some of the new characters! 

Zenkichi

Damn you atlus. Damn you and your insistence at bringing in cop characters. I was fully on board with hating zenkichi, i was fucking ready for it. I was convinced that there was nothing they could do convince to like zenkichi. I was immune to their copaganda. 

And then i ended up loving him, which makes me sad a little bit. I didn’t realize how desperate i was to have an adult who has a persona. Someone who wants the world to change just as much as they do, while still having that aspect of them that makes them adult. Like??? As someone who is technically an adult, its a breath of fresh air. An adult. Who fights. For justice. Using a persona. And god i love akane so much, and her obsession with the thieves (that scene is probably in my top ten fave scenes of the game). Also what i loved about zenkichi is that he fucking hates the cops!! He hates the system of the cops!! And thats why i actually really started to love him!! Because i thought it was atlus saying that the systematic problem of the police cannot be solved by one person, and zenkichi threw away his badge. I actually cried at that part!! 

But then he became a cop again, and i was just :/ but as a character, i really love him to bits and would love to do a study on him, or at least use him as an outside pov. But! i absolutely love his persona, since im a les miserables fan hehe

Sophia 

she’s probably my favorite new aspect of the game. I was ready to not like her—again, i just suck like that, lmfao—and when i saw her, i was scared that she was just another waifu. I mean, she was very cute after all. But then as the game went on, i thought she was a little too cute. And even further into the game, i finally slapped myself in the face and realized oh my god shes not a waifu. Shes a sister. 

That blew my mind, im ngl to you. A female character that isn’t supposed to be romanced? By jove, what a miracle! 

And she…is an amazing character. Im sorry, i just love her so much. I love her so much that she  probably ranks as my fifth or sixth favorite character which is surprising even to me. Everything about her is delightful and invigorating. She’s funny??? Her comedic timing is amazing, and she has such chemistry with the rest of the team. She’s actually useful to the plot, and while her character design is a little too on the nose for me in terms of cuteness (i mean, good god she’s wearing oversized sweater to show how cute and tiny she is, and her hair has literal hearts in it), she is absolutely lovable. 

But what i actually really wanna gush about for a second is sophia at the last stage of the game. You get the idea, i dont really like to get excited over things, so at this point i figured that there was nothing this game could do to shock me. 

And then sophia had a persona awakening. 

Like. holy fuck did i yell. I didnt realize what was happening until the music had already kicked in. and its just so fucking smart!!! Sophia??? The ai?? With no heart?? gOT A PERSONA???? AWAKENING??? BECAUSE SHE LEARNED WHAT THE HEART IS AND THE PASSION THAT YOU NEED IN ORDER TO GET A PERSONA??? I started crying honestly, because it was just so smart. And looking back on it now, its obvious!! Of course it would lead to this, it only made sense that the culmination of her character arc leads to her getting a persona, nothing else would have been as good. Also, her voice actor is just amazing?? When she was talking to ichinose at the end, i actually got incredibly emotional because of the line reads. Its just so spot on and it really captures the essence of sophia.

Muah. five stars Atlus. You got me. 

Ryuji <3!!!!

Oh man. Oh boy. Okay. so where do i start. 

Yall know i love him. Hes probably my favorite fictional male character of all time, and he is the one i was the absolute most cynical about in this game. I was expecting literally nothing. Nothing. Like. nothing. I thought he was just gonna keep being used as a joke, or a gag, and he’s gonna be super horny all the time for the other girls and it was gonna make me mad and there was gonna be some insane homophobic/queerphobic jokes in every other scene and i know i was being unfair, but i cant help it. 

And then i played the first two hours of the game, and i cried the entire time. Because ryuji has never been better than he is in this game. Its crazy. 

The ryuji in persona 5 strikers is who ryuji should have been/how he should have been treated this entire time. From the actual funny jokes (for example, the gold bar joke + his reaction to it in the beginning of the game), defending his female friends instead of being the one people need to defend from (natsume arc), and the fact that he was the one to be there with morgana and akira in the very beginning of the game. Its such a small thing that they didnt even need to do, but it was such an integral part of the original game for me, that i just was convinced that nothing like this was going to happen. But then it happened. Its just small stuff like that that could have been overlooked but it wasn’t because this game? Persona 5 strikers? Fucking loves ryuji. 

The actual respect they gave this boy is insane and i wasn't ready for it. Like, they gave the shujin trio lunch, they gave the little charm of the katana when they were in natsume’s jail, and, in my opinion this is the second-best thing that they could have given ryuji is sophia. Ryuji and sophia are the pinnacle of a brother & sister bonding relationship in the game that isn’t akira & futaba. And its really prevalent too?? Small stuff from the beginning of the game (pulling her out of a jail, calling her shorty), but then you have the iconic “shut the fuck up” scene, and that scene was so well characterized and written and voice acted, that somehow him saying “fuck” was the least exciting part of that scene to me. Ryuji is an older brother to her, like its undoubtable, and its only further cemented at the end of the game where Ryuji helps out ichinose because he knows how much sophia cares about her. This game. Love ryuji. And i love. This game. 

You know what else i love? Akiryu. 

Guys. i was fully prepared to starve in terms of akiryu. But theres just. So much of it. I wont get too deep into it, because i think this aspect of the game for me still needs marinate a little bit. Like, what was that last shot when EMMA died and Ryuji walked to approach Akira so they could relish in their victory together?? And the smile from both of them??? What the fuck. That was amazing. Also Joker being saved by Ryuji when he was about to fall from the cliff to save sophia??? WHAT. The LEADER AND HIS RIGHT HAND MAN? WHAT. anyway. If theres anything i want to keep for myself in my own brain, its the akiryu aspect of this game, so i wont talk too much about that part of things (instead, itll probably manifest in fic lmfaooo). 

Sure, there’s tidbits of stuff i dont like that they gave ryuji: sexualizing ann in that one cut scene and making him touch the jails even though it hurts, and i recognize those and frown at them, but for the most part, i am blown away with how they treated him.

Basically, Ryuji has never been better. From the opening of the game with him being the first text message and the one to sling his arm around akira, to the very last cut scene where it was ryuji wordlessly leaving because he’s so confident that they would never be separated for long, this game adores Ryuji and i am so so happy to say that.

The Royal aspect of things

Yeah, i had to talk about this, but itll be a short thing i just wanted to point out. Because the last part of this game...is persona 5 royal. Which is curious. Like taking reality and giving that power to someone else so you dont have to experience suffering anymore? And even like, the final section just looked a lot like the top half of maruki’s palace?? And whats even crazier is that we had a boss fight with sophia, just like how we had a boss fight with sumire? Royal and Strikers have like, the same thesis statement. It’s kind of uncanny.It’s interesting, it’s like atlus came up with these two ideas, and then just decided they liked both of them so much that they just did it twice. I don’t mind though—actually, in terms of how the last Palace/Jails go, i probably like them both about equally. 

Though i did love the final battle in this one more than i did in royal. Splitting into teams?? Thats cool as fuck, and really innovative and i didnt see it coming. It also kicked my ass. A lot. 

Now for the last stretch: the small stuff!

The music — bomb as fuck. In my heart, Daredevil is ranked the same as Rivers. Axe to grind is also amazing, but Daredevil owns me

Akechi — i really debated whether or not to talk about him, but i figured a bullet point should be enough. Im really shocked that he wasnt in this at all. Like not even a name drop. If this is an OVA, and the point of the game is to please the fans, and akechi is arguably the fan favorite character, i was really ready for something. But there was nothing, except for the pancake hallway if that even counts as a reference. Thats it. Thats all i wanted to say about him.

The humour — FUCKING HILARIOUS im convinced that in my fifty hour playtime, five of that is dedicated to me laughing and unable to continue the game 

Akira — so much personality! His lines of dialogue are crazy sometimes (like. Whats up with him saying Ryuji has ‘nice abs’ when they were in bath? Im crazy and even i dont know what the fuck that could mean) 

Battle system — oh my god i almost forgot to talk about this. I love it! I kind of miss the turn based aspect just because i found it very comforting for some reason, but this hack and slash style of gameplay is so invigorating because i do feel like it justifies shit like the baton pass and huge attacks.  This battle system fully encompases how the Phantom Thieves are supposed to fight, you know what i mean?

Anyway, thats my thoughts on strikers. Loved it. Amazing. 9.3/10, wouldve been higher but Konoe’s Jail almost bored me to death. Also im a monster and i didnt do any requests that isn’t a fun one, teehee. As if i play persona 5 for the persona aspect of things.

do my url forehead

no, i’m doing @psychcdelica sorry!!!! get off my blog

send a url to sentence them to scrutiny and dragging || [ open ]

my opinion on;

character in general: Goddamn bubblez how many characters have I written with now? I guess it’s not TOO many but given the majority of our interactions are with Sae, we’ll stick with her- SAE.... undoubtedly the best girl in P5, with the BEST dungeon and the BEST music. She goes through all manner of character arc and puts up with about as much shit as the protag does because of how twisted things seem to be against her. Her relationship with Makoto is always painful to watch, because it feels like something that can happen to people. The way pain bleeds into caring. Ugh. I’m so glad she doesn’t get a romance with MC. -_-

how they play them: While I think you can sometimes border on making her a touch soft I love your portrayal. You keep all the things important to her well grounded and represented in your plots and your headcanons. Her mannerisms come through so well. I’m also a sucker for her weird occult interests like Funyarinpa, that little tack on just feels.... right to me. That she’d have this one outlet of eccentricity in a life otherwise governed by straight logic and rationality. I’m glad you still write her so passionately so many years after the game came out. C:

the mun: BUBBLEZ. BUBBLEZ.... you’re such a good friend and so great to talk to. You’ve got so many neat little interests and are always fun to throw a meme or shitpost at. But I’d like to chat more, which honestly falls on me.... x: Whoops. We have a lot of similar interests and it’s been fun talking about Somnium and other mystery games with you. Expanding into that verse with Sae, Wy, Chrom and Date has me SO excited for other group antics. AHHHHH.... I wish there was something multiplayer we could mess on together. I’ll have to think on that. This is a scattered response because I can’t keep my head straight. You’re a fantastic friend on this site and it was really thanks to you I made it through some of my writing slogs where I was lacking confidence. Thanks for being awesome.

do i;

follow them: ye

rp with them: ye

want to rp with them: hnnnNNNNN

ship their character with mine: wy is gross post-incarceration with sae and I live for that clinginess and affection, they love each other ok

what is my;

overall opinion:

**Note: Mun’s answer are all to be completely honest. Don’t send url if you don’t want brutal honesty.

[auncyen]

Joker (P5) for the five headcanons thing

1.  A family headcanon I have (though I don’t use it often): Ren was conceived from an affair his mother had with a family friend when her marriage was going through a rough patch that was later smoothed over.  Because Ren got a lot of his looks from his mother, his true paternity and her affair didn’t come to light until he was grade school age.  From Ren’s viewpoint, suddenly he wasn’t his dad’s kid, and his mom had hurt his dad by having him, and his favorite ‘uncle’ never visited again.

This is part of why he likes setting up relationships as tit-for-tat.  (Even if he doesn’t actually adhere to it, there’s at least a baseline expectation from each other.)  Also the family friend, his biological dad, is the “friend of your parents” who got Sojiro to take Ren in as sort of the one thing he can do.  Sojiro knows the family situation but doesn’t know if Ren knows or if the dad even wants Ren knowing he helped, which is why he refers to the “friend” as just that.

2.  Ren was accidentally...inadvertently... a factor in the Velvet Room being taken over.  Igor and Yaldabaoth were both surprised when the Velvet Room started to arrange itself for its next guest in the form of a prison (most likely after Ren’s trial concluded--I can see him holding out hope before then that the woman would have a change of heart and recant her testimony).  The more the Velvet Room changed, the more it began to resemble the Mementos’ Depths, and Yaldabaoth was able to use that to his advantage.  (Igor and Lavenza are perfectly aware of this, and don’t tell Ren because they don’t blame him.  Morgana was aware of this when he was first created, since it was hoped he might help Ren break out of the mindset that led to it.  May or may not remember post-game.  Would not tell Ren unless he had to for some reason.)

3.  Ren told Morgana he hates sweets because he knew sweets aren’t good for cats and was a little worried with Morgana’s whole “not a cat” thing that he would insist on eating the same things as Ren.  He ends up regretting this as Morgana can eat things cats can’t with no problem and questions Ren every time he approaches the crepe shop, forcing Ren to live a lie because he doesn’t want to tell Morgana that yes, he thought he might be a genuine cat.  (Ren sometimes gets sweets with Ann when Morgana’s elsewhere.)

4.  In a “Joker is from Inaba” verse I love to think that Ren’s first idol crush was Naoto Shirogane, for the thought of young Ren seeing her shadow on the Midnight Channel and thinking it was kind of strange but also kind of relatable, but also later hearing a rumor that she’d intended to be kidnapped?  to find the kidnapper? and even if it didn’t seem to have worked he’d be like THAT’S AMAZING, SO DARING AND COOL.  (Naoto was also Makoto’s first idol crush and for a minute she’s like oh wow Joker and I have the same taste? and then Joker starts on his preteen fantasy of being kidnapped with Naoto and Makoto’s like wait, no, we liked Shirogane for very different reasons.)

5.  Ren does not mean to get too involved in politics, except being himself he absolutely does end up getting wrapped up in a political campaign or two, maybe even running himself, by sole virtue of “I am not letting that other guy win”.

[facetsofdaydreams]

a roleplay wishlist because i feel like putting it out there: - may as well just list the aus i wanna do that aren’t directly related to fandoms: vampire because i’m weak, angel/demon, some kind of royalty arranged marriage thing, something to do with an enchantress/magical powers - please please please give me the fake dating threads, i am so weak for them and i crave... fake dating threads that just are funny and tongue in cheek or fake dating threads that end up blossoming into love... i don’t care i love them all - i’m working on my post-v3, everything was vr verse for all of my girls but most specifically miu - i want to have an au where makoto was the older sister and took the place that sae does in p5 canon... - let makoto make people take care of themselves. she will adopt almost anyone that doesn’t annoy her immensely. - i want to do some very dark threads with my junko. very, very dark. - honestly i’m down for like everything let’s be honest

[personaiiisms]

@gravity-wall from [x].... sort of

Makoto listened quietly. Water under the bridge? Easy for Ren to say - and equally exactly what he would say. He wasn't what she would call a pushover, but he had a tendency to... bow down, or maybe crumple, if the pushback was coming from someone he called a friend. Not that he just agreed but maybe just that he didn't want to cause problems. Didn't want to make waves. He wanted to stand up for himself but also wanted to just be there for them, willing to help even in situations that really didn't require an outsider's assistant.

He was so willing to help and Makoto wanted to believe that it was just out of the goodness of his heart. But it seemed like all he ever did was just worry about others and never about himself. It... left her a little concerned.

"Is it really?" Her lips pressed together into something close to a frown as Makoto's gaze dropped down for a moment before flicking back over toward him. The two of them were still seating at the cafe table where, just a few minutes ago, Eiko had been. Makoto had invited her here under the guise of spending time together before blindsiding her with the real reason: her boyfriend, Tsukasa, was a scumbag who flirted with other girls and was just using her. Makoto's proof? Well... he was texting her a lot, and the messages seemed a little overly affectionate and that... it clearly meant he had to be flirting.

Eiko had taken it... poorly. That wasn't too surprising. But her parting words, that Makoto was just jealous that Eiko was spending time with someone else, seemed to strange to her. That wasn't it at all. She was just worried-!

And she had been worried when she had forced her way into the Phantom Thieves. Worried about the reputation of the school, worried about the students who were being scammed and hurt by Kaneshiro, and worried about herself.

"I never actually apologized. Not to you or to Ryuji and not to Ann." There might have been some muted I'm sorry or maybe an I was wrong say here or there, but it was half-hearted at best. What Makoto had done had just been seemingly forgotten by everyone, for better or for worse. Forgotten, and forgiven, as if the fact that she had awoken her Persona suddenly undid her prior behaviors.

"... Ren. Am I doing the right thing? With... Eiko?"

Post Ending Headcanon | Part 1

!! Major P5 Spoiler ahead !! 

One year after the fight with Yaldabaoth, Niijima Sae found a comatose Akechi near the diet building, injured with bullet wounds from the last fight with his cognitive version in the engine room. 

Akira returned to Tokyo after he finished his high school in his hometown. Even though his name is cleared after Shido’s confession, rumors about him still didn’t die. His parents still looked at him as a family disgrace. Thus after finishing high school, Akira left his house. Sojiro and Futaba offered Leblanc’s attic. But Akira decided to rent a room on his own. He worked part time to pay for his own living and take a class on Psychology. He hoped he could get a clearer vision on Persona, the Meta-verse, how Yaldabaoth happened, and everything. 

However of course, Wakaba Isshiki’s research couldn’t be found. Even with Futaba’s skill. Even with Shido’s change of heart, he didn’t know the location of Wakaba’s research papers. 

Sae heard from Makoto that Akira is coming, and contacted him as soon as he arrived to Tokyo (without Makoto knowing). Akira (and Morgana) rushed to the hospital, found Akechi on the hospital bed, resting from the injuries from their fight and the bullet wound, which apparently hit his chest. Akechi have traded gunshot with his cognitive. It missed his heart, though still in a critical place. 

Sae then explained a very weird situation happening around them. First, nobody, except a few that actually knows Akechi, remembers him. This includes his fans, the people in the police department that he had worked with, the staff in the tv station and some other people that have interviewed him. Next, there was no recordings of Akechi’s interviews. No interview pages on old magazines. No records of Akechi’s work in the police station. 

Sae still remembers, though. And she deeply hoped that Akira remembers too, and was very relieved when Akira recognised Akechi.

Akira was conflicted. One because he was happy that Akechi is there, comatose, but alive. Two because he was unsure why Akechi suddenly returned, a year later, and right when Akira returned to Tokyo. And how did he survive with the fresh wounds for a year. 

Akira told Sae to give him some time, and don’t tell anyone including Makoto about Akechi. Sae agreed, promised that she’ll keep an eye on him. And also gave Akira a parting gift, Akechi’s phone. Which, had been investigated before. 

His call logs with Shido was gone. There was no text messages, including the one with the phantom thieves. Morgana mentioned that perhaps it’s to prevent his identity from being discovered from the others. After all, Akechi was a hitman. It’s probably in his habit not to leave any trace behind. However, there was one thing on Akechi’s phone that bothered them. 

With that, Akira decided to call the phantom thieves again. 

They gathered on Leblanc, their last and permanent secret base. Akira decided to tell them everything about Akechi. Their reactions varies. Ann and Ryuji was sort of relieved, although they showed a conflicted face. Makoto and Yusuke were shocked, but showed no emotions over it. It was clear that Haru and Futaba were the most troubled by it. Futaba mentioned that she did say he could start over, but she’s still troubled with the fact. While Haru still couldn’t forgive Akechi, despite his sacrifice. 

Morgana then said. “I know you guys are confused with what to do with Akechi, but that’s not the main problem here.” Then Akira showed them Akechi’s phone. There, on the home screen was one app they knew very well. The Metaverse icon.

[personaiiisms]

@tckeyourheart asked: “The yukata looks good on you, Mako-chan. The colors suit you well.” - Haru at Makoto

"You really think so?" Makoto paused for a moment to look down at herself. She didn't think she looked bad, but placed near others like Ann and Haru herself, she did feel a bit bland compared to them. They were beautiful and graceful, and she was... not worried about being either one of those things. it wouldn't help her become a better fighter or a better protector.

But maybe there was a part of her that wanted to be like that. Maybe just a little bit.

"Well. I would never want to argue with you... so thank you Haru."

What is your true role in the story?

The rising underdog

Why hello again dearie, I see you managed to help those frogs those children were kicking, hm? Oh how much I can emphasize we are but the ghosts of our childhood passions. And, unsurprising enough, the hero to the trodden little creatures of the earth is now a rising golden savior to the masses. 

Oh love, I said you'd go far, didn't I. For the good always prevail in the end, somehow, they do. You lived a difficult life, I know, but you never let that get you down. You took beatings with a grin, and dished back kindness in return. Inequality and injustice made you outraged, and you strove to assist the hurting and abused. Oh shining dragon, you are bathed in golden light. Please keep being true. You have tasted blood and death, but you refused to force it down the throats of others. And that alone proves there is ichor in your veins, demigod. 

You will be struggling until the very end, battling for your comrades, your people, and yourself. Never lose sight of your goal my dear. Sometimes you needn't have one, except see the good, and protect it. That is all my advice can tell you. I implore, protect the goodness in yourself with everything you have, but never refuse to share it also. 

Young hero, you are growing. You are destined for wonders even I may not live long enough to encounter. Keep up the good work, and keep your head held high. You are bound to do the impossible, all because you see the truth. There is good in the world, and it deserves to be found.

okay, i know i was writing starters and all but as i said before i really want to have different verses for the male route and female route of p3. cause i usually stick to just referring to the protag as they or leader to keep it ambiguous but thats kind of limiting because the whole appeal of the other route in p3 is that its essentially the same but different as well. 

so i’m just going to make these three my main canon verses for persona muses right now just to keep it straight. i’m playing p3p right now so i am going to lean towards the femMC route because its the freshest for me at the moment. 

«VERSE || mass destruction»

male route timeline with minato/makoto as the protagonist. includes any answer threads as well. 

«VERSE || wiping all out»

female route timeline with minako/hamuko as the protagonist. potential for post game answer au’s in this route. 

«VERSE || brand new days»

arena verse. protag can be either since they are canonically dead at this point but default will stick to atlus canon. shadow operative and default verse for any interactions with p4 characters and likely p5 characters as well. (p1/p2 would just depend). 

for starters if you have a strong preference or would rather do some sort of au just im me. otherwise i’ll just stick to defaults and see where it goes~
