“why do i believe this” and “who benefits from me believing it” are the first steps to decolonization and we should all be doing this more

Adventuring is hard work, but someone's gotta do it! ⚔️

Idk what face I'm making but this photoshoot was in 2014 so who knows what I was thinking

(also here's your reminder that 2014 was a decade ago aaaaaaaaaaaa)

Are you trapped on tumblr right now?

Is there something you planned to do before you got trapped in the endless tumblr scroll?

Are you yelling at yourself to get up and do the thing, but you can’t, because you’re trapped in the endless tumblr scroll?

Consider this your save point.

Put tumblr down, stand up, stretch, and go do the thing you planned to do. Future you will be incredibly grateful.

I used to tell one of my younger brothers that if he didn't go to bed that Santa (or the Easter bunny, or the tooth fairy) would not only NOT leave any gifts, but that Santa would never visit again. This worked for like 5 years until he asked Mom about it.

It’s that time of year again when I have to remind everyone in my family that if they gift my child an elf on the shelf it will immediately become firewood because one thing mama ain’t raising in a snitch.

rich people are so boring. Private jets for intra-US travel? if i was a multimillionaire I’d have my own old timey gilded train car and take my sweet ass time going everywhere. sorry, you won’t see my ass for 5-7 business days while I’m going through the mountains with no cell service but a well paid private chef that specializes in gluten free cuisine, bye

Ok I'm 99% sure souyo are dating at the time of p4d (and here's why)

(aka I can't hold it in anymore I HAVE to talk about it)

1. The blown kiss. Of course.

ACTUALLY THIS KISS WAS FASCINATING I don't think anyone else does this? Not even Rise?

It's also not at all Yosuke's style of flirting? Because he normally tends to use humour or jokes he's a WORDS person (which is amazing considering how bad he is at expressing himself with words LOL) so this is definitely bold and definitely Something (TM).

2. Kanamin asking if they were a couple during their partner dance like ???

Also Nanako makes a comment about their bromance and I am so sure that it was yosuke who taught her that word because he's the one who said "bromantically entangled" during Valentine's Day if you spend time with him, Teddie and Kanji

Speaking of family

3. Yosuke clearly being on close terms with Dojima/Yu's family in Inaba even in Yu's absence

Dojima could have called Yu himself but he went through Yosuke instead. Because he knows they talk.

(Actually this was a flag for me because it was the exact kind of thing I used to get - when my partner was living in another city my father in law would give me messages to deliver to my partner because we're family. QED Dojima sees Yosuke as family-)

Also Rise pointed out Dojima's presence but Yosuke being the first person to directly address Dojima at the food court? Take it from me, this is actual son-in-law obligations behaviour. There's suddenly a hierarchy. All of your other friends are shuffling off in awkward silence in front of the parents but not you. You gotta do your job.

Also also Nanako's ongoing good relationship with Teddie... and we know who's Teddie's chaperone, don't we

✨ Family, y'all ✨

3. The couples clothing

The samey saturation/tone in typically opposite colours. The vertical vs horizontal stripes. Yu in a v-neck, a style Yosuke is known for. Did they go shopping together?? They don't even live in the same town anymore and yet. And yet. They're wearing matching clothes??? Atlus how. Atlus why. Don't you dare say it was a coincidence because their outfits in p4g were always so stylistically different from each other 😭

4. Their personas' instruments

Most of the team's personas played the same instruments that they did during the concert event in p4g, apart from Teddie, Naoto and Rise, and I guess it makes some sense for them?

Yu's concert event was a bass guitar (also... a bass guitar that Yosuke taught him to play...), so Izanagi is also playing a bass guitar.

BUT

Izanagi-no-Okami is playing a normal guitar, not a bass guitar.

LOOK! SIX STRINGS!!

So for some reason it was changed? But instead of being more distinct it just... became the same as Yosuke's. And what's Izanagi-no-Okami? Oh, you know, just Yu's ultimate persona and the culmination of all of his bonds with everyone in Inaba. You know, the most important thing.

Listen the game has spent FAR too much time driving home its point about hearts and dancing and true feelings and emotions and all that for me to let this point go

5. Their partner tracks include the songs titled Your Affection and Signs of Love (TK Remix). Remixes aside there are only two songs in the entire tracklist with titles that explicitly reference positive love (there's also Heartbeat Heartbreak but, well.) - Your Affection and Signs of Love.

I'm sensing a pattern.

Oh and did I mention that all of that stuff was on top of their usual

Being in their own world even though they're around other people

Looking to each other for assurance

The whole Not Needing Words To Communicate thing

Yosuke introducing himself as Yu's partner (bonus! On national television!! To all of Japan!!)

I'm taking no criticism at this point tyvm
