I cannot wait to see Magatsu-Inaba in the anime

[thiscityneedslessfog]

Marie is fascinating to me. I need to do another writeup on her. I’ve only spoken about her twice because of how important she is to the postgame, and how much I love her dungeon. But I think I want to analyze the cat herself and talk about her social link

[thiscityneedslessfog]

I think I need better self restraint so I don’t have to see so many bad takes. I want to see nice fanart and that’s all. I don’t really read fanstories (not my thing for some reason) but depending on how in character they are they’re innocent enough, they can stay.

But I feel like I’ve seen negativity towards the game that’s unwarranted (and just bad takes in general negative or not) and it annoys me to see.

On other news I’ve been wondering if I should replay Persona 4 in Japanese interface with English voice. I’ve been saying this because people have been… kind of negative towards the localization? And I feel like most of it’s unwarranted (people tend to say “they didn’t convey x so well in the English version” when during my blind playthrough with my friends we didn’t have any issue understanding the game’s messaging.) but I do want to look at the differences for the fun of it. I don’t know if I have that much motivation in me, but if I do…

I have P4G on Steam, does anyone know… how to change interface? I’ve never tried it on PC.

Only me and Shadows around here

Teddie’s story is a giant identity crisis. He bearly has a sense of self when Yu, Yosuke and Chie first meet him, he’s deeply insecure about the idea of not being able to help as much, and what I think is overlooked is the self-hatred he feels over being a Shadow—a self-demonization that eats away at him. So he’s desperate to be more helpful because of that when… he’s already the most important Investigation Team member (which is saying an incredible amount, all eight of these guys pull their weight)!

Teddie doesn't have much of a sense of self when we first meet him. He has a name, but that’s… about all he can give you. He doesn’t know what he is, he doesn’t have any memory whatsoever.

And he doesn’t like it. Second time we see him, he’s having an existential crisis over not knowing who or what he is, delibearating over the pawsibilities. And furthermore, he's growing insecure. He's at this point the only noncombatant member of the Investigation Team, and only convinced Yosuke and Yu to accept him in the first place because of his nose and knowledge of the TV world.

And he's worried about being held to that as he becomes more and more attached to the Investigation Team.

You notice Teddie uses "scoring" a lot, as in "scoring [one]self a hot stud." It's partly because he overheard Chie and Yosuke discussing Konohana Sakuya on Yukiko's bizarre Midnight Channel Episode, but I think he uses it so much because he's been taught that "romantic gestures" are the best way to connect with people. Society values romance over friendship in most cultures, after all. And Teddie really, really wants to attach to the rest of the group, accusing them of abandoning him in Rank 1 of his social link and talking about how hurt he was when he felt left out of the group.

This desire to help, attach and protect extends to Teddie’s moveset. Let's analyze Teddie's Persona, Kintoki-Douji, shall we?

Even as a combatant, Teddie's role is primarily supportive. He knows both Matarukaja and Marakukaja, he can heal much like Yukiko can albeit less specialized, and he takes over the ice mage role for Chie. In his Social Link, he can learn Marakunda, which is probably the best debuff spell that isn’t Debilitate, and Samarecarm. He also learns Amrita via level-up. He can be offensive and defensive support, and a healer! In my group playthrough with my friends, Teddie was almost full support! He's that dedicated to not being useless, he's that dedicated to being helpful to the Investigation Team.

Now, the reason Teddie has such attachment issues is because the Investigation Team are the only friends he’s ever had at this point. But also, Teddie has recently confronted his own Shadow, and has realized a truth about himself that horrifies him to the point that he’d think it bearfectly reasonable to abandon him over it…

When Rise accepts the idea that she doesn’t have a “true self” to pursue when she soothes and awakens Himiko, Teddie just is having a massive existential crisis in the background over the idea of not having a self and it leads to Kintoki-Douji just spawning in out of (almost) nowhere. Because the thing is…

Shadow. He’s a shadow. And a shadow as he knows is inherently incomplete. He’s not an amnesiac. He’s always been a Shadow.

This is why he snapped at Yosuke when he joked about Teddie’s head being hollow. Sure, it’s funny to Yosuke, but it’s terrifying to Teddie, because to be hollow, to be a Shadow, is to be incomplete. To be less than.

Not only that, every shadow they’ve seen other than himself has been hostile. Hunts them down and chases after them, save for the golden hands. They kill their full selves if the fog is cleared because they go violently berserk, which Teddie himself explains. He has to hide from these creatures trying to kill him, but… he’s technically one of them!

Which is why he shouts at Kintoki-Douji to shut up. In Teddie’s eyes, shadows are monsters… so if Teddie is a shadow, then… Teddie, himself, is a monster. And that prospect is horrifying. He doesn’t want to hurt anyone, he hates the idea of even being a liability. A threat?! He can’t be a threat. No way. He couldn’t bear that idea. That’s why he snaps at Yosuke over being called hollow. Hollow, like the monsters they fight.

This is why Kintoki-Douji looks the way he does as a Shadow. He looks like a disintegrating, monstrous Teddie that’s collapsing in on himself, pieces of him being sucked inside the black hole within him. Because Teddie’s emptiness, his status as a Shadow, is critically dangerous in his eyes, dangerous to himself and his only friends.

He does stop lying to himself that he's a Shadow and, in his eyes, a monster, but it still haunts him, so he doesn't let the Investigation Team know.

I’m fairly sure is actually why he pursues a human form. He not only wants to become closer to the rest of the Investigation Team, he wants to believe he’s complete. He doesn’t want to be a fragment or a monster. He’s terrified of himself. This is the real root of his crisis. “What if I’m a monster?” And he doesn't want the Investigation Team to leave him, as they're the only friends he has. And he fears if they knew he was a Shadow, they'd leave or turn on him. He can't stand that thought.

And even in human form, he's constantly thinking about the terrifying possibility of being left behind. Even as Yu assures him during the cooking competition (Teddie’s Rank 4) that it's going to be fine and he can stay as long as he wants, he’s genuinely startled by it. And later proves he doesn’t truly believe him.

In his Rank 7, he tells Nanako and the IT that he still doesn't know what he is—when he obviously knows what he is at this point, Kintoki-Douji would never have awakened otherwise. He's lying to them because he doesn’t want the team to know, he so badly doesn’t want them to know because he’s terrified of how they’ll react, so he just keeps up the act that he’s not sure what he is. Because he’s something that he doesn’t think the Team would accept. He's something they've been mostly fighting against.

And his Rank 8 doesn’t help… when he gets the physical examination, it bugs out. It glitches, and Teddie laments that he “still hasn’t found out anything," anything that could point him away from the truth that Teddie is naturally a Shadow.

He’s drowning so hard in the idea he shouldn’t be an Investigation Team member that during the Nanako arc he leaves of his own accord over his sheer guilt of being unable to save her.

But what Teddie learns throughout his link is... it doesn't matter if he's "fundamentally different," it doesn't matter that he's a Shadow. He's still a member of the Investigation Team. The team panics when he’s gone, constantly asks where on earth he is.

I mean, see the rank above. Yu doesn’t care about the whole promise, he just likes that Teddie’s there. He can even use Teddie’s staunchness on promises to talk him into staying. I think Teddie’s also afraid of possibly going bearserk and turning on them all, to be honest, but the IT isn't.

And Teddie’s so freaking wrong about being useless. I’d argue that Teddie is single most important Investigation Team member. And none of those kids are dead weight in the slightest. Persona 4's story would fundamentally be wildly different without Teddie. Probably the most important reason is… right in the TV world hub at Junes. Who made those exit TVs? Who?

Teddie did. He's the reason the group can even safely traverse the TV World in the first place. The kidnapping victims of Namatame would be exactly as dead as the Midnight Channel Killer wanted them to be. And Chie, Yosuke and Yu would also be stranded in the TV world if not for Teddie showing up and making those exits.

Not to mention he’s why those awesome glasses exist. Of both varieties. Not only do the normal ones help the IT see in the fog, the goofy ones just are really cute.

And not to mention during the Midnight Channel Killer arc. Teddie feels insanely guilty over Nanako's apparent death, and self-hates so hard over his inability to save her that Igor picks him up and plops him in the Velvet Room.

When he's missing, the group's in serious trouble. They figure out who the MCK is without him, but can't catch that damn spider because reality’s beginning to fog over and the TV World’s fog is getting denser.

It’s Teddie who finds Adachi when the fog is too thick for Rise to detect him. Teddie is helpful. He found the literal Midnight Channel Killer and helped the team corner him.

After Teddie’s social link is maxed in the Velvet Room, where he finally comes clean to Yu over being a shadow, and therefore “incomplete,” he chooses to visit Nanako. And the doctor tells him that his and the others’ voices reaching Nanako are what saved her from the brink… and that’s what makes Teddie start to believe he’s not something meant to be tossed away after all. He can do something—he helped save Nanako…

So he comes back to the Investigation Team to come clean. Who cares if he’s a Shadow—he helped save Nanako, didn’t he? And if there’s one thing he knows, it’s that the love he feels for the Investigation Team and Nanako is real. And the Investigation Team reacts with joy when he’s back, because… he’s one of them! He’s their friend and they love him.

Oh, and all that self-hatred he had over being a Shadow? Nobody cared when he admitted he's a Shadow after his Social Link is maxed. Yosuke literally says this:

That hits. They figured out he was a Shadow, in his eyes a monster, and they didn’t care for a moment. I mean, he’s not incomplete either. Him being a Persona user proves that. Naoto explains it pretty well why Teddie’s not incomplete in any way. Or a monster at that.

Humans can be monsters. See the Midnight Channel Killer himself. But Teddie? Teddie is not lying when he says he’s 50% kindness by volume. Who cares if he’s a Shadow. He’s a member of the IT, and severely underestimates his own importance because of his own self-fear. The Investigation Team would never have caught the MCK had it not been for his knowledge and capabilities, and furthermore… they love him, who cares if he’s a Shadow or whatever. He’s an Investigation Team member. Screw the idea of being a monster or empty or whatever, he's still important. And it's pretty fitting Yosuke was the one who told him that he didn't care that Teddie was a Shadow, because he also talked about wanting to be important to others in his Social Link.

Teddie is lovable no matter what, and shouldn't downplay how important he is on so many levels. He's great. And was always worthy of love, the IT always loved him, no matter how long it took him to realize.

Happy birthday to the Detective KING

I love her so much she’s so cool

I unfortunately did not have anything prepared for her birthday because I got reminded of it literally yesterday

Blindness Never Saves

I was thinking about Namatame recently, and it struck me how like Yosuke he is. Everyone wants to talk about Yosuke’s similarities to the real MCK, which is fair, they do have a lot in common, but… I’d say Yukiko is truly the most like them and I wrote about that.

I feel like Yosuke's and Namatame's similarities are ignored by the general fanbase (or what little I've seen of it) and it kind of dismays me because it's so interesting to me. (Though, I feel like people ignore Namatame in general…) I only ever hear people mention Namatame in the same breath as Yosuke when they mention the time Yosuke was so blinded by grief he almost killed him. When Yosuke is more like Namatame than any other P4 character is, and that's no accident. Their arcs are mainly about how they both try to do the right thing, but good intentions without any knowledge can still cause damage—and how the truth makes them genuinely capable of helping others. Their stories are mostly about recovery, loss, and connection. I'd say recovery most of all.

Why do I say this? Well, for one, you remember how the Investigation Team formed, yeah? It mainly formed after Yosuke, Chie and Yu fell into the TV. They came back because of the panic after Saki Konishi, Yosuke’s best friend and crush, was murdered at the hands of the Midnight Channel Killer. This heinous tragedy was what made Yosuke resolve to learn more about the TV World, primarily because he was grieving Saki’s death and desperately didn’t want anyone else to die over it.

When Yosuke and Yu enter Saki’s mindscape, shrunken down due to… her being dead, Yosuke hears a bunch of echoing voices, one of which sounds like Saki. And then we meet Jiraiya. His shadow. Mocking the hell out of him.

Jiraiya is the embodiment of Yosuke’s guilt over his boredom with Inaba. And he points out how Yosuke is trying to be a hero—and accuses Yosuke of only wanting to become one out of a desire to alleviate his boredom. When that’s not quite true, but Jiraiya wasn’t totally wrong about Yosuke wanting to be a hero.

It helps when you learn the actual story of Jiraiya, which is insanely similar to Yosuke’s story—though in Jiraiya’s case, it’s his family who got murdered, and he’s trying to avenge them.

But here, Jiraiya is calling Yosuke out on trying to be one—because Yosuke feels guilty about wanting to be one. He wants to think he’s doing this for entirely selfless reasons—when he’s only mostly doing it for selfless reasons because he wants to find closure for his beloved Saki’s death, and since he's so isolated thanks to having moved away and his best friend being murdered, wants to do something, anything to be recognized. Any way to be able to connect to more people. Heck, he's called out on that by Jiraiya too.

Now, wait, doesn’t what Jiraiya said about being a hero get echoed later by Namatame during Nanako’s dungeon? Namatame panics and has his Shadow overtake him due to stress because he’s terrified that the Investigation Team is going to hurt Nanako. He wants to protect her and shouts that he has to save her from harm.

And when it came to Namatame, he was motivated by something incredibly similar to Yosuke trying to get closure for Saki’s death. Namatame explains in his testimony on December 4 how his vision of Yamano on the Midnight Channel and her subsequent death at the Midnight Channel Killer’s hands caused him to freak out and try to protect everyone he could from them. He warned Saki about the Midnight Channel Killer (which, ironically sealed her fate due to the MCK being a green-eyed spider), but it didn’t work, so he panicked and called the cops to see if they could save Yukiko. And then got convinced he was the only one who could save Yukiko…

For Namatame’s situation, it sounds like he was trying to redeem himself after cheating on his wife Hiiragi, but on top of that, his paramour just got straight-up murdered, and right after the scandal about him and her broke out.

Not just that, but Namatame’s Shadow admits that Namatame wants to be a hero as well, calling himself a savior, much like Jiraiya does.

Though, Namatame’s Shadow more expressed bitterness towards how the world would be so quick to turn on and harm people. He would know, he saw what happened to Yamano, getting way more targeted than he was and even killed.

Also, both of them had an event that ostracized them. Namatame’s was more on him than Yosuke’s, he cheated on his wife and secret got out, leading to him and Yamano being targeted, but Yosuke moved to Inaba because his dad was hired as the Junes manager when it opened, and was ostracized as a result. And then the MCK killed the only people who were still showing them kindness.

Namatame and Yosuke are both isolated as a result of the Midnight Channel Killer’s actions, as their main confidants were murdered, giving them (initially) nowhere else to go.

I’d argue their fight against the MCK is in part a coping mechanism for both Yosuke and Namatame, as Yosuke’s Social Link is very centered around his grief over Saki, especially later ranks, and healing from it. And of course it’s both of their driving motivations for their interactions with the TV world.

And speaking of grief, THEY BOTH ALMOST KILLED SOMEONE BECAUSE OF THEIR GRIEF. I FEEL LIKE THIS IS THE MOST OBVIOUS ONE. ONE LITERALLY IMMEDIATELY SPARKS THE OTHER.

Namatame, grieving Yamano and guilty over being unable to save Saki, accidentally almost kills Nanako in a bid to save her by bringing her to the TV world, which leads to her dying temporarily because the fog is toxic. Yosuke, who is grieving Nanako and Saki, is blinded by rage and jumps with Naoto’s suggestion to kill Namatame.

Oh, and both Namatame and Yosuke initially had these ideas suggested to them by someone else. Yosuke by Naoto and Namatame by the MCK.

Their arcs are literally about what happens when your good intentions aren’t backed by knowledge, and how you can go in open-eyed to a situation so you can actually save people. Which is why I say their arcs are about prevention of tragedy—they attempt to prevent more tragedies, and one succeeds while the other initially fails.

But the key difference between them was that Yosuke had more of the facts and another person to fact-check him, like Yu did when the Investigation Team almost killed Namatame. But Namatame had no one. A tragic detail is when he recounts the story of him trying to alert the police about the Midnight Channel Killer, he misremembered it as the officer not believing him.

No… it was much worse. He fell right into the MCK’s web of lies. Because the officer who picked up the phone was Detective Tohru Adachi. Who is none other than the Midnight Channel Killer himself.

I hate this spider so much

So Namatame was completely alone, and had nobody to fact-check him—and he ended up being strung up by the very person he was trying to stop, and got tricked into nearly killing someone, exactly as the MCK wanted. (even if it’s someone Adachi never wanted dead, he still took advantage of the opportunity to get the kids to kill Namatame, and he can succeed if Yu doesn’t tell the team to back up).

And since Namatame convinced himself he was the only one who could do it since he was the only one he knew of who had these powers, he didn’t get to have anyone who could fact check him until the kids showed up.

Only when the kids fact-check him and explain what really happened to Namatame can he and Yosuke both finally find closure as to what happened to their lost loved ones… and who killed them and why.

[thiscityneedslessfog]

I HATE that Adachi only uses his annoyed face AFTER he’s unveiled as the Midnight Channel Killer. Are you kidding me?!

THIS FACE IS FANTASTIC. HE’S SO DONE. EASILY HIS BEST EXPRESSION. BUT HE ONLY FLASHES IT TWICE. EVER.

IT’S IN TWO SCENES. THE SOLITARY CONFRONTATION WHERE HIS ARCANUM IS REVEALED TO BE LUST AND IN ONE LINE DURING HIS ENDING.

that’s IT.

this spider is killing me here

[thiscityneedslessfog]

oh also happy birthday to P5’s strongest party member

The Nuclear Woman

[thiscityneedslessfog]

I think it’s interesting how many supportive spells Teddie has.

He can learn Dekunda via the bike, he learns Marakunda and both revival spells via his Social Link, and he can learn Matarukaja, Amrita and Marakukaja with level-up, and he can learn healing spells. His few physical spells inflict ailments (save for Gigantic Fist). The guy does so much.

That little bear is trying his damnedest to be a help to the team despite his insecurities over being a Shadow, and when he was built in both my playthroughs, he almost became pure support. His player was spamming buffs and heals like crazy. Like, even without being a makeshift Nav he’s mainly helping everyone else fight because he wants to help beyond everything else, that’s what he wants to do.

[thiscityneedslessfog]

funny little exchange on the Bunny Day event yesterday. I don’t play Animal Crossing, but Rise does.

[thiscityneedslessfog]

So I’m trying to max out Ai this run because Yosuke and Rise literally adore her. They’ve both romanced her. I never linked her because once I finally got to her (in January) I heard she could be reversed and broken and went “yeah no.”

Well, this time I’m actually linking her. I watched her obliterate a boy and laughed uncontrollably.

Her reasoning makes perfect sense but holy shit she fucking killed him it’s so funny

[thiscityneedslessfog]

watching the Persona 4 Anime is still about a month away but man I’m excited. I want to see what changes and what stays the same.

I’m actually most interested in Adachi and Nanako’s arcs to see how they’re adapted. (Since Marie’s is Golden exclusive I just won’t get to see it, and I never want to watch the Golden anime…) I have a bit of a hope for the former’s, that he as a combatant is the pain in the ass I wanted him to be. But I don’t want them to downplay the craziness of Ame-no-Sagiri’s fight, that fight was awesome. And also I have less of expectations but more curiosity as to what Magatsu Inaba will look like in the anime.

I’m also really interested in seeing Yu’s characterization. I’ve heard little glimpses but I haven’t truly gotten to see him in the anime for myself.

[thiscityneedslessfog]

I am thinking about the hare more now. I get why they didn’t show him much in the story but I think I want to see more of him… but he never awakened his Persona. I have headcanons, though.

He’s probably Justice Arcanum like Nanako (or maybe Adjustment, the Thoth equivalent) and his Persona is Hayatama-no-Okami (another name for Izanagi). He knows lightning spells like the other Izanagis but is the only one that can heal. He also can use Hama spells and ice.

there’s fast and then there’s you three

Adachi is a misogynist actually

So, this writeup was entirely written out of spite and therefore won’t be as well composed. For that I apologize. But I’ve occasionally heard an idea that Adachi isn’t a misogynist, just a misanthrope and… it annoys me. so I’m going to nip that in the bud. He’s a misanthrope and a misogynist. Consider this a sequel to the post about misogyny’s damaging effect on teenage girls, including every female party member, woven into Persona 4’s narrative.

So why am I so convicted that Tohru Adachi, the Midnight Channel Killer, is a misogynist and is a great example of how he ties into that narrative?

Well, let’s start out with Adachi’s first scene where he’s doing anything other than throwing up. He and Dojima discuss Namatame getting fired, and Adachi comments on it… very questionably.

…Also, Dojima, I love you, but what the hell for agreeing with him on this. That aside, this is a ridiculous statement to make. How on earth is Namatame losing his job nearly as bad as Yamano getting straight-up murdered? Also, Namatame was fired for cheating on his wife, a pretty justified reason if a group wants to maintain the image of not being corrupt. Yamano likely wasn’t totally innocent in the affair since she was a reporter and therefore has to keep up with the flow of information, but to her credit, Namatame seems to have been Yamano’s sole romantic and sexual partner at the time—no cheating at all from her end.

Now let’s barrel 500 miles into spoiler territory and talk about the Midnight Channel Killings. I’m going to talk about mainly how he speaks about the victims using specific language that draws upon misogynistic stereotypes.

We’re mainly going to talk about Yamano. Listen to how Adachi discusses her.

“And then she started getting hysterical on me…”

I didn’t bold that word for nothing. It’s a common word to use against an angry or defiant woman thanks to the idea of female hysteria that was a legitimate medical diagnosis for a good while, dating back to the Bronze Age. You heard me right. There’s a paper about misogyny embedded in medicine and especially psychiatry in the National Library of Medicine, and its introduction discusses the history of hysteria and how it’s used to weaponize a woman’s illness to “show” that she’s less capable than her male counterparts.

not only is a woman vulnerable to mental disorders, she is weak and easily influenced (by the “supernatural” or by organic degeneration), and she is somehow “guilty” (of sinning or not procreating). Thus mental disorder, especially in women, so often misunderstood and misinterpreted, generates scientific and / or moral bias, defined as a pseudo-scientific prejudice.

Hell, the word literally comes from the Greek word for uterus, which is widely considered the major feminine reproductive organ.

Hippocrates (5th century BC) is the first to use the term hysteria. Indeed he also believes that the cause of this disease lies in the movement of the uterus (“hysteron”).

[Source for both quotes]

Now we talk about Saki. When Adachi confronts and attempts to sexually assault Saki… he’s angry with her due to interacting with Taro Namatame, a man he’s deeply jealous of.

But, if he thought anything romantic or sexual was going on between Saki and Namatame, why didn’t he try to arrest Namatame instead, as in this case the reasonable assumption would be to accuse Namatame of behaving predatorily?? Well, the answer is very rooted in misogyny and slut-shaming.

In most cultures, a woman’s value is in her faithfulness and loyalty. This is found pretty strongly in Western purity culture, but Japan is not the West. However, it’s still commonplace to find examples of this in Japan. On a wider scale, see the idol industry that I discussed in my writeup of Rise Kujikawa. An article from the Japan Times talks about the Akihabara 48 member Minami Minegishi and the scandal that occurred as a result of her crime of dating a boy.

In Japan, the cutting of hair is often symbolic of a new start, or in more extreme cases of penance. The destruction of sexuality inherent in shaving it completely back, however, brings to mind more the humiliations inflicted by the French Resistance on women accused of sleeping with the occupying Nazi soldiers during what they called the épuration sauvage or "wild purge." Minegishi's only crime, however, was having a boyfriend.

[Source]

This comes from an expectation of purity from the women and girls in these idol careers, expected to be loyal to their fanbase, which is predominantly male.

And after the event, he says that Yamano and Saki were probably the ones flirting with Namatame first, and accused them of going after him for the money. This is an invocation of the femme fatale trope, a female character (usually a villain) who seduces a male character in order to get power or money out of him. It’s hotly debated as to whether this trope itself is misogynistic, but Adachi’s invocation is absolutely misogynistic as it’s a justification of the killing of a woman and a girl that he was attracted to.

(As an aside, I find it unnerving how he only ever refers to Yamano by her first name. No “Yamano” even without honorific. Namatame is justified, he was her paramour. Adachi? No way. It’s creepy as hell coming from him.)

But Adachi’s entire reason for targeting Saki to kill was rooted in misogyny. It was a smaller scale version of what happens to idol girls. He felt betrayed because he thought Saki was dating Namatame, and never cared for a second about the difference in age making this mistaken date potentially dangerous for Saki, framing her as a seductress when not only was Namatame not even flirting with her but warning her about Adachi himself, but Adachi blamed Saki, a teenage girl, for an unhealthy romance he made up.

I’M GOING TO THROW SOMEONE INTO THE TV

WHY DID MY EDITS TO MY DRAFT GET DELETED THREE FUCKING TIMES I DON’T WANT TO RESTART THE WHOLE THING

[thiscityneedslessfog]

ghfhfhfhjdjd I have so many writeups. I have one on Yosuke and the hare, I have one on Teddie finally, I have one about an overarching theme in Persona 4, I have one on Saki.

I also have one on the Midnight Channel Killer but I feel it’s an extension of my old misogyny writeup

All of the above are really fleshed out. I don’t know which will come first but I imagine Saki’s and the theme one will come last. The theme one because I want Teddie’s out before I let that one loose because both talk a lot about him, and the Saki one because I want to read the Magician comic in a group with Yosuke and Rise so I want to hold that until I read it.

Idk whether the frog and hare one, Teddie, or MCK one will come out first. And I don’t know when they’ll release, I have no schedule.

edit: it was the MCK one
