so today i learned that there’s a piece of graffiti written on the wall of a brothel in Pompeii that reads, “Weep, you girls. My penis has given you up. Now it penetrates men’s behinds. Goodbye, wondrous femininity!”
this lead me down a rabbit hole of Pompeii graffiti, in which i found the following:
From Herculaneum (a bar/inn joined to the maritime baths): "Two friends were here. While they were, they had bad service in every way from a guy named Epaphroditus. They threw him out and spent 105 and half sestertii most agreeably on whores."
From just outside the Vesuvius gate: "Defecator, may everything turn out okay so that you can leave this place."
From the peristyle of the Tavern of Verecundus: "Restitutus says: 'Restituta, take off your tunic, please, and show us your hairy privates.'"
From Herculaneum (a bar/inn joined to the maritime baths): "Apelles the chamberlain with Dexter, a slave of Caesar, ate here most agreeably and had a screw at the same time."
From the basilica: "O walls, you have held up so much tedious graffiti that I am amazed that you have not already collapsed in ruin."
that lead me down a rabbit hole of obscene ancient Roman graffiti such as the following:
Floronius, privileged soldier of the 7th legion, was here. The women did not know of his presence. Only six women came to know, too few for such a stallion.
Chie, I hope your hemorrhoids rub together so much that they hurt worse than when they ever have before!
Theophilus, don’t perform oral sex on girls against the city wall like a dog
Apollinaris, the doctor of the emperor Titus, defecated well here
Restituta, take off your tunic, please, and show us your hairy privates
I was fucking with the bartender
Secundus likes to screw boys
Phileros is a eunuch!
Cruel Lalagus, why do you not love me?
I made bread on April 19th
Gaius Sabinus says a fond hello to Statius. Traveler, you eat bread in Pompeii but you go to Nuceria to drink. At Nuceria, the drinking is better
Anyone who wants to defecate in this place is advised to move along. If you act contrary to this warning, you will have to pay a penalty. Children must pay [number missing] silver coins. Slaves will be beaten on their behinds.
Epaphra doesn’t play football well
You can ride your maid whenever you want. It’s your right
Pyrrhus to his colleague Chius: I grieve because I hear you have died; and so farewell
O walls, you have held up so much tedious graffiti that I am amazed that you have not already collapsed in ruin
My lusty son, with how many women have you had sexual relations?
If anyone sits here, let him read this first of all: if anyone wants a screw, he should look for Attice; she costs 4 sestertii.
Samius to Cornelius: go hang yourself!
If anyone does not believe in Venus, they should gaze at my girl friend
To the one defecating here. Beware of the curse. If you look down on this curse, may you have an angry Jupiter for an enemy
We have wet the bed, host. I confess we have done wrong. If you want to know why, there was no chamber pot
What a lot of tricks you use to deceive, innkeeper. You sell water but drink unmixed wine
The finance officer of the emperor Nero says the food here is poison
Gaius was here – the oldest graffiti, dated 78 BCE; found in Pompeii.
Vote for Isidorus for aedile, he licks cunts the best
i fucking love human beings.

Miraculous Ladybug Persona AU because why not!
Marinette
Associated Arcana: Fool (cuz duh), Justice (her main arcana when it's not fool), Magician? (she's good at arts and crafts, I guess)
Initial Persona: Joan of Arc (hands down, her persona, no argument)
Adrien
Associated Arcana: Emperor? (like reversed Emperor where he has no control over his life), Empress? (like reversed empress where he stopped enjoying life kind of and also cuz he's girl coded), Moon (me on my "Adrien's true self is himself and Chat Noir" bs), Magician? (he's good at stuff???)
Initial Persona: Petit Prince (apparently Adrien's story is based on this one)
Alya
Associated Arcana: High Pristess (cuz High Pristess is all about listening to your inner voice and Alya's biggest character moments are listening to her conscious and acting on that), Justice (the whole reason she's a journalist)
Initial Persona: Josephine Baker (I kinda struggled with this one cuz Google dosen't make it easy to research Martinique and I didn't want to do something lame like "Renard the fox lol". I typed up "black woman spy" into Google [because Alya's other story is being Marinette's best friend which is lame] and Josephine was the first French result I got. She was the first black woman movie star and she also spied on the Axis powers for France during WW2. France also gave her the title "Creole Goddess" which scares me)
Chloe
Associated Arcana: Devil (this is what Astruc would give her lol. It also fits cuz Devil is giving in to your vices and Chloe can't stop doing that), Lovers (cuz it'sabout making a choice between two options and aticking with that and Chloe does that both times she's the big bad of the episode), Empress (cuz Chloe is rich and enjoys her life I guess)
Initial Persona: Marie Antoinette (cuz I am 99% Chloe is based on her and it kinda for a meta perspective on Chloes story where she is the scape goat for even worse villains)
Nino
Associated Arcana: Emperor (he's the leader of the resistance i guess), Heriophant? (he gives good advice like 3 times in the series?) , Chariot (the lame answer: he shares character traits with Chie and Ryuji)
Initial Persona: Alexandre Dumas (I was drawing blanks again cuz Nino's only story [outside of being Adrien's best friend] is the resistance stuff so I looked up black people in the French revolution and this the guy I got. Fun fact, he's the father of the guy who wrote three musketeers apparently, I was really not expecting that)
Luka
Associated Arcana: Heriophant (fits it better than Nino), High Pristress (I still think Alya fits this arcana but Luka is rolling in this cards symbolisim with listening to people's inner music and having the miraculous of Intuition)
Initial Persona: Orpheus (cuz Im lame. Marinette is his Eurydice cuz she left him)
Kagami
Associated Arcana: I have no freaking clue this time Magician?????
Initial Persona: Tomoe (cuz Im lame and it's her mom's name)
Lila
Associated Arcana: Moon (cuz what the heck else would she even have? Jester???)
Initial Persona: Coco Chanel (because eff that nazi spy. And it futhers the duality thing that Alya and Lila used to have before they retconed Lila)
Felix
Associated Arcana: Justice (he's a crazy justice boy you cant convince me otherwise)
Initial Persona: Loki (WHAT ELSE AM I SUPPOSED TO CHOOSE)

Codename predictions for P3 and P4 party members, assuming they're ever added (this is so long I'm sorry lmfao)
Makoto: Boss, Leader, N-Jima, Tatsuya (P3)
Kotone: Leader (P3), Dazzle, Demon (PQ2)
Yukari: Feather (P4AU) Pink (PQ2), Yuka (From Name)
Junpei: Ace (Defective), Geezer (PQ+Q2), Slugger (P4AU)
Akihiko: Protein (PQ2, P4AU), Aki (From Name)
Mitsuru: Lady (P3), Empress (P4AU, loosely)
Fuuka: Fuu (From Name), Lucia (P3D/P5D, referencing Lucia)
Aigis: Angel (P4AU)
Koromaru: Tiger (From Name), Fido (P3D), Dawgster (P3P)
Ken: Black (PQ2), Kenny (From Name)
Shinjiro: Brood (PQ2), Shinji (From Name)
Metis: Butterfly (Referencing Psyche)
Yu: Leader, Sensei, Partner, Bro (P4), Kingpin (P4AU, PQ2)
Yosuke: Captain (P4A), Prince (P4AU), Hana (From Name)
Chie: Carnivore (P4), Dragon (P4AU), Sirloin (PQ2)
Yukiko: Scarlet (PQ2)
Kanji: Emperor (P4AU)
Rise: Lisette (Per P5X Files), Idol (PQ2), Star (P4AU)
Teddie: Beast (P4AU), Bear (P4), Kuma or Teddie (depending on language)
Naoto: Prince (P4), Killjoy (P4AU)
Haha, these are fun! I think people have brought up the PQ2 codenames before in suggestions for what codenames returning characters might be given, but this list feels even more thorough re: nicknames, and the ones that just come from their names (like our Phantom Idols in P5X canon) are a nice touch, too.
Though I have a feeling some of them might push back on some of these (ex. "Geezer" for Junpei, "Kenny" for Ken, "Hana" for Yosuke, haha)! That makes them all the more fun, though.
(Also, I love that you included Metis!!)

(I don't actually know if Strikers does anything with tarot but anyway) Which game, as a whole, do you think uses the tarot theming the best? Whether it be individual arcana assignments or links to the plot or just vibes - I know you've spoken of inidividual S-Link meanings but I don't think a big-picture comparison was ever done.
hmmm okay lets do a basic round up
I am going to... give points
+ 2 (GREAT job) + 1 (They tried!) + 0 (phoned it in/makes no sense) - 1 (ACTIVELY BAD CHOICE)
Fool: SEES (P3) vs Investigation Team (P4) vs Notigor (P5) Gonna give P3 and P4 0 points bc these do nothing, but P5 gets -1 bc what the fuck
Magician: Junpei Iori (P3) vs Yosuke Hanamura (P4) vs Morgana (P5) Both P3 and P5 get +2 for AMAZING Magicians. P4 gets a 0.
High Priestess: Fuuka (P3) vs Yukiko (P4) vs Makoto (P5) P3 gets the +2 here. P4 gets a -1, Yukiko is a terrible choice. No opinion on Makoto but she doesn't seem like the right pick imo.
Empress: Mitsuru (P3) vs Margaret (P4) vs Haru (P5) I'll give P4 one point and P5 two points. Mits shoulda been Emperor.
Emperor: StuCo Guy (P3) vs Kanji (P4) vs Yusuke (P5) P4 gets +2 for a shockingly good Emperor. P5 gets a -1 for a shockingly bad Emperor.
Hierophant: Old Couple (P3) vs Dojima (P4) vs Sojiro (P5) P3 gets -1 and should feel lucky its only minus one. P4 and P5 get zero points.
Lovers: Yukari (P3) vs Rise (P4) vs Ann (P5) P3 gets the +2, P4 gets +1, P5 gets zero.
Chariot: Rio (P3) vs Chie (P4) vs Ryuji (P5) Everyone gets +1.
Strength: Koromaru (P3) vs Athletes (P4) vs Twin Wardens (P5) P3 gets +1, P4 gets fucking nothing, and P5 gets +2.
Hermit: Saori (P3) vs The Fox (P4) vs Futaba (P5) P3 gets +1, P4 gets -1 bc no that's not what Hermit is, and P5 gets +2 for nailing it.
Fortune: Ryoji (P3) vs Naoto (P4) vs Chihaya (P5) No points, everyone see me after class. Actually, no. P4 and P5 get -1.
Justice: Ken (P3) vs Nanako (P4) vs Akechi (P5) I AM GOING TO GIVE P5 +3 FOR AKECHI, FOR THE FIRST TIME PERSONA FUCKING DID ANYTHING WITH THE JUSTICE ARCANA. AND BOY THEY DID STUFF.
Hanged Man: Maiko (P3) vs Naoki??? (P4) vs Iwai (P5) P3 you get a -1, see me after class. Zero for the others.
Death: Pharos (P3) vs I HAVE NO IDEA (P4) vs Tae (P5) I refuse to give Pharos points, so fucking basic. P5 can have a point.
Temperance: UGH NO (P3) vs uh whoops (P4) vs Kawakami (P5) P3 what the fuck -1, +1 to P4 bc its boring but it fits, and Kawakami gets +2 for fucking nailing it.
Devil: Pres Tanaka (P3) vs that nurse??? (P4) vs Ohya (P5) I'm gonna skip this one bc I don't think I know enough about P4 and P5's to rate. And Tanaka fits but is just Fine. +0 to all.
Tower: Cool Monk (P3) vs uuuuh idk (P4) vs whoops x 2 (P5) Honestly, same as Devil. No points.
Star: Akihiko (P3) vs Teddie (P4) vs Hifumi (P5) FUCKING PLUS 3 TO TEDDIE FOR BEING A TREMENDOUS STAR. +1 to P3 for Akihiko. 0 to P5 bc I don't get the angle.
Moon: Shinjiro (P3) vs that one girl (P4) vs Mishima (P5) Fuck Mishimia. He's an amazing Moon. +2 to P5, zero to the others.
Sun: Akinari (P3) vs Yumi (P4) vs Yoshida (P5) -1 to P4 bc the Sun link sucks. +2 to P3 and P5 for AMAZING Sun links. Yoshida may be the most nuanced take on any NPC's Arcana.
Judgement: Nyx Squad (P3) vs Truth Dudes (P4) vs Sae (P5) P5 gets +1 bc at least they fucking tried, P3 and P4 were just tagged on and superfluous.
World/Universe: Reverie III vs Reverie IV vs Reverie V Reverie The Fourth loses HARD here bc the point of the World is coming to the end of a journey and being changed for it and he doesn't have enough personality to be changed. -1 to P4 Reverie the Third is a decent one who went through a lot and has enough personal stakes that I buy it. +1 to P3 I hate to say it but Reverie the Fifth gets +2. He feels the most complete of them all, so for the Arcana of Completion, or the Whole, it has to be him.
Okay I have no idea what that tallies up to, lemme see.
Persona 3: 10 points Persona 4: 4 points (OUCH) Persona 5: 19 FUCKING POINTS WOW THAT ISN'T EVEN CLOSE
My math might be wrong bc I suck at math (yay, dyscalculia) but that is a huge margin for error.
Honestly, makes sense. Like I said in the post-mortem, P5 succeeds in a lot of ways just for having actual adults available for the arcanas. P4 and P3 are so strongly limited to your classmates, there is only so many ways to make a high school student wacky and weird in a way congruent to their Arcana.
P5 has the worst Emperor in the series by far but it has the best Justice easily and possibly the best Sun and honestly a lot of the NPC SLinks are Just Really Good.
So yeah, P5 wins at something at last.

so i was inspired by @yusuke-of-valla (but i also had a similar au with the p5 cast in p4 lol) so i wanted to write down some concepts for a p5 in p4 and p4 in p5 au
basically this au is double whammy protag emperors bc i could see yusuke in the role of yu, but i could also see kanji in the role of akira. basically matt mercer gets to be persona protag twice over :')
while making mona teddie would be obvious i was thinking mona as yosuke and ryuji as chie - they both keep their canon arcana and their canon relationship lol. i can see haru being yukiko (and also the first dungeon the party faces)
im struggling a bit with the rest bc like makoto fits kanji and naoto, akira fits kanji and rise, ann fits rise but that's too obvious, futaba kinda fits teddie which i think is strange lol, and akechi fits kanji, naoto and even rise!
(also yeah making akechi adachi but thats wayyy too obvious lol)

Hmm, so would the Ronin universe's version of the Prequel Era be based on the rise of fascism and psychotic ultra militarism in Imperial Japan instead of the hodgepodge mix of Nazi Germany, the late Roman Republic and not so settle commentary on the Bush Administration in Canon?
My other idea would be the "Clone Wars" taking some loose inspiration from the Boshin War and Satsuma Rebellion, with the increasingly marginalized Jedi rising up and being faced with the Empire sending in armies of Clone Troopers.
Good question! My answer would be dictated by the needs of the greater project -- as IP is beholden to be -- but I will try to concoct an answer based on what we see in The Duel and what I drew on for Ronin.
(Am I procrastinating on line edits? No! YOU'RE procrastinating on line edits!!)
On one hand I agree that Ronin is an OT-analogous book bc I've joked about how the Ronin is kind of like if Anakin Skywalker did the whole "descent into murder" stuff, took a step back, and went, "Uh... Oops! Uh-oh. Oops! I gotta go." On the other hand it feels kind of prequel territory in that it's a world governed by a great big political body that's sliding into decay.
That said, given that I was loosely drawing from jidaigeki's love of the Warring States period + had positioned Ronin as loosely post-Warring States, if the Sith Rebellion had been what allowed re-unification under the emperor:
I think I'd play a Ronin prequel through the lens of the Warring States period, where people are yearning for an end to generalized violence between feudal lords. Some of those lords just want to be sovereign unto themselves (some of them are okay, some of them are shitty), but enough of them are dreaming about a mythical past where there was an emperor who everybody actually listened to (this is a fairy tale! obviously!) that it's become a real ongoing problem for everybody. Some of these guys want to restore that imperial line while others want to BE that emperor, and to that end, some politics, lots of war. Meanwhile, non-lord people are for the most part just trying to be alive, THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
Simultaneously, I'd probably make this the tale of how the Jedi clans decided they would swear fealty to the lords after all. Which is a nice bit of tragic irony (we're talking PT here, after all!) in a situation where the lords are the ones causing everybody so much grief. The Jedi clans could start out as a separate entity -- maybe more monastic like Chie alludes to -- but over time they'd become so embroiled in politics and various loyalties that there'd be messy bloodshed, terrible use of terrifying power all over the place, etc. In short, I would explore the events that compelled the Jedi to believe they shouldn't be the foremost arbiters of their own power. What horrors convinced them to yield that control?
(How many of them would be horrified to see Hanrai one day accepting lordship himself? How many of them would see the Ronin and his rebellion as the worst version of themselves -- as exactly what they're trying to stop themselves from becoming?)
(In other news, wife and I have acquired a roomba, and as it is large, black, fundamentally helpful, and constantly running into walls, we have dubbed it the Ronin.)

Been seeing stuff with characters of the same arcana interacting and thought this would be neat.
Tournament where the best "arcana" wins, this being judged by how much people like the characters associated with that arcana.
Wanted to put out a survey first to get some feedback on what characters should be included (ex. spin-offs or no) and how long the tournament should be. I'll close the survey May 23 10PM EST
Current roster under cut, feel free to check if anything is wrong or missing
Fool [0] | P3 Protag, P4 Protag, P5 Protag Magician [1] | Yuka (P1), Kenji (P3), Junpei (P3), Yosuke (P4), Morgana (P5) Priestess [2] | Maki (P1), Fuuka (P3), Yukiko (P4), Makoto (P5) Empress [3] | Yukino (P1-2), Mitsuru (P3), Margaret (P4), Haru (P5) Emperor [4] | P1 Protag, Hidetoshi (P3), Akihiko (P3), Kanji (P4), Yusuke (P5) Hierophant [5] | Nanjo (P1-2), Bunkichi & Mitsuko (P3), Shinjiro (P3), Dojima (P4), Sojiro (P5) Lovers [6] | Lisa (P2), Yukari (P3), Rise (P4), Ann (P5) Chariot [7] | Masao (P1), Kazushi (P3), Rio (P3P), Chie (P4), Ryuji (P5) Justice [8] | Hidehiko (P1), Katsuya (P2), Ken (P3), Nanako (P4), Akechi (P5) Hermit [9] | Toriumi (P3), Saori (P3P), Fox (P4), Futaba (P5) Fortune [10] | Jun (P2), Keisuke (P3), Naoto (P4), Chihaya (P5) Strength [11] | Yuko (P3), Koromaru (P3), Kou (P4), Daisuke (P4), Caroline & Justine (P5) Hanged Man [12] | Baofu (P2), Maiko (P3), Naoki (P4), Iwai (P5) Death [13] | Eikichi (P2), Ryoji (P3), Hisano (P4), Takemi (P5) Temperance [14] | Bebe (P3), Eri (P4), Kawakami (P5) Devil [15] | Reiji (P1), Tanaka (P3), Sayoko (P4), Ohya (P5) Tower [16] | Mutatsu (P3), Shu (P4), Shinya (P5) Star [17] | Ulala (P2), Mamoru (P3), Teddie (P4), Hifumi (P5) Moon [18] | Maya (P2), Gourmet King (P3), Ai (P4), Mishima (P5) Sun [19] | Tatsuya (P2), Akinari (P3), Yumi (P4), Ayane (P4), Yoshida (P5) NON STANDARD Judgement + Aeon [20] | Eriko (P1-2), Sae (P5), Aigis (P3fes), Marie (P4G) Jester [0] + Hunger [11] | Adachi (P4G) Councillor [1] | Maruki (P5R) Faith [-] | Sumire (P5R) Apostle [6] | Zenkichi (P5S) Hope [-] | Sophia (P5S)
Prioritizing the Arcanas in the OG P3 over P3P because of themes, also I have a friend that will kill me if I do otherwise
I know the Arena games also have characters associated with some of the arcanas, but want to hear feedback on including spin-offs first as well as hear from people more knowledgeable about them

Okay. Random thoughts and notes from Lovers Naoto au! I'll just lay out the team roles here again for clarity as this post goes on.
Wildcard - Kanji
Magician - Rise
Star - Teddie. Still
Chariot - Yu
Priestess - Yosuke
Emperor - Yukiko
Lovers - Naoto
Fortune - Chie
Alright. Time to just. Lay a bunch of them out! Putting a cut here cause it'll probably end up long, don't wanna clog any tags with Long Post :)
So the idol group Naoto's in, Royale, they're all pretty close. Naoto, Prince, and the member called Knight were the first two chosen for the group at age 12, with the last being the member Dame at 13. They're all the same age, Naoto being the oldest by like. A week, and Princess pouts about it all the time
They have assigned colours! Naoto, Prince, is Blue. Knight is Yellow. Princess is Pink. Queen is Purple. And Dame is Red. They're like, the rising group at this time and, it's causing stress for poor Naoto
The girls call him Naonao, but not Knight. She only calls him Naoto, they're the closest of the group. She's always been his number 1 supporter, and. They're in the same boat, kinda. She's, very gay. Having to pretend to be into Prince, is hard
Queen's changing room is the one that they find the camera in. That's what sparks Naoto into having his breakdown that forces their rest period. Idiot was pushing himself
--
When Naoto renegotiates his contract, the agency reluctantly agree to stop forcing him to keep his T doses cut in half, to keep his face pretty and shit. And, surgery dates. And, when he returns after his recovery from top in Inaba at age 17, the agency. Realize they can actually use this
He's got very minimal scars, and it's rather easy for them to cover them for music videos and shows. So, they have a party themed album. Night life theming or something. All that matters is they're covered in glow paint handprints, and Naoto is in a mesh shirt
Rise. Buys that poster immediately. Hangs it in her room and longingly stares at Naoto. Maybe she has a cardboard standee of him that she talks to like a therapist. Very "oh Ariana, we're in it now" energy. Except that's her boyfriend
--
AND FHE RECOVERY. I HAVE MANY CUTE IDEAS
Naoto gets it done in Okina, so the gang is there to have a boobless and high Naoto handed over to them by the idol girls. He's. Very giggly. Slurring his words as he talks at length about Neo Featherman on the drive back in a van borrowed from Junes
Rise and Kanji stay to help him heal. Kanji is there for just a few days to carry the drowsy Naoto around, and. Rise stays the whole time and longer. She missed him. Also, someone needs to make sure he doesn't overwork himself again
He's real sweet the whole time, cuddling and smiling all gooey at her. He missed her! And he feels a lot better now. Back feels better, he can breathe better, he feels, more himself. He's glad he got a whole month to recover with Rise
--
Naoto with. Face scruff. None under his nose, but. His chin gets real scruffy before he notices. And man, Rise loves it. His fans don't get to see him in the morning when he's unshaven, that tickly blue scruff on his chin as he shuffles around the kitchen making breakfast. That's for her eyes only
--
For the final Royale shoot, right as theyre going to all retire at age 20-21, their agency ends up doing a whole special photo book and magazine. A special farewell to the group, as it were
There's a few pages for a beach spread of course. The girls in, revealing suits. And Naoto, both surgeries over with and healed, is handed some flattering shorts
He feels good. They make him shave all over so he's. Smooth. But, he mentally notes to get the IT together for another beach trip again
...Rise also buys these
--
Now. Back to their first meeting
Rise: H-HELLO IM RISE AND I LIKE YOU A NORMAL AMOUNT
Naoto: ...uhm. hi? Could you step aside? I have to run an errand for my grandfather and. You're standing in my way
Rise: ...*oh my god I got in his way I'm going to die.* hahaha sorry!
--
Naoto: ...now you know what I'm truly like... I'm sorry you had to see that,
Rise: we all have our things we hide,, it may change some things about the way I see you, but, overall, I think I'm still your number one fan. Both as Prince, and, as Naoto
Naoto: ...*fierce blushing*
--
Rise likes to pinch at his cheeks. He's still got a little of the Roundness that first year, and, she loves how flustered he gets when she just. Does something so simple
--
She starts taking photos of their friends making fake angry faces and adds the caption "are you binding safely"
He finds them. Somewhat amusing. But also the one of Kanji is. A little scary
--
Naoto's bedroom starts off real plain. The one in Inaba. To the point where when the team goes there to get clues, there's. Nothing. But slowly, as his break progresses, he gets more little decorations
So when he goes to stay during his recovery, it feels a little like coming home
--
Princess: I think your little girlfriend hates me
Prince: hi this is Rise!! And yes I do <3
Prince: SORRY SHE TOOK MY PHONE
Princess: lmao I like her!! Don't mess this up
--
Dame: if you don't marry that girl I will
Prince: WHERE IS THIS COMING FROM
Dame: she's cute, and remember, we have the same type, mister. Treat her right or I'll make her *my* lady
Prince: I WOULD NEVER DREAM OF HURTING HER
Knight: buddy she's teasing you
Prince: ...
Dame: HAHA
Queen: leave him alone he's gone through enough this year
Princess: lmaooo I bet he's bright red! Cherry flavoured Naonao!
--
Dudes who like Royale: man that Prince is lucky, being surrounded by those four pretty girls all the time
Naoto: I miss my wife, Tails. I miss her a lot
--
The big thing that doesn't change is that Rise still stares at the fire alarm every damn day
--
Kanji and Rise doing each other's nails, Naoto hugging Rise from behind and rambling about Phoenix Ranger or something
Kanji: they really don't take advantage of your collarbones dude! Tell your stylist they need to highlight them more, you've got manly ass collarbones
Naoto: ...thanks, I think
--
Kanji: yo, do you two wanna have a first years sleepover?
Rise: ooh! That sounds like so much fun!
Naoto: I mean, I don't see why not,
Kanji snoring on his bed with Naoto and Rise passed out on the futon, some romcom still blasting on the TV
--
Rise: Naokun and I will help you find a boyfriend!
Naoto: we will?
Kanji: you will?
Rise: yup!! A manly man, someone perfect for you!!
They do not succeed.
Naoto: what about Yu?
Rise and Kanji: he's gay for Yosuke
Naoto: ...is. Yosuke not straight?
Rise and Kanji: he isn't. Hadn't figured it out yet
Naoto: ah
Naoto: sorry, Kanji
Rise: yeah,, we're sorry,,
Kanji: dudes, I knew this would be the result. Thanks for trying. You're my best friends
--
Naoto: HELLO. I NEED YOUR HELP
Kanji: wassup little dude
Naoto: I PLAN TO PROPOSE TO RISE WHEN MY CONTRACT EXPIRES NEXT MONTH. COULD YOU BRING HER TO KYOTO FOR A BESTIES TRIP?
Kanji: wait why are you in Kyoto
Naoto: AGENCY MOVED
Kanji: hell yeah man true love
Kanji sobs the whole time. And at the wedding. He just loves their love okay?
Kanji: congrats on the dick surgery man.
--
Like. Maybe a week into bottom recovery for Naoto and-
Naoto: thanks,
Kanji: I brought over my Play Station so we can game in your room. I bought Phoenix Featherman Arena too, it was supposed to be your birthday gift but I suppose it works as Penis Gift
Naoto: if I wasn't straight for Rise I'd kiss you
Kanji: ...I'm good without a kiss man
Rise sits behind Naoto and massages his scalp as the boys play. She. Tried for a bit, but she isn't too good
She prefers to dote on her boy
Rise: med time!
Naoto: noo, they make me sleepy,
Kanji: it's cool man we can play tomorrow!
Rise: we'll both be with you, all night
Naoto's soft snores, Kanji sounding like a fucking. Chainsaw level of snoring. And Rise occasionally humming softly
--
Naoto: ...babe why is there a poster of me from the party album on the ceiling in your room
Rise: you looked really good
Naoto: ...please take it down while I'm here
Rise: fine,
--
Remember, this is Navi Naoto
Naoto: Rise, you're low on health! Make sure to get some healing!
Yosuke: HEY IM LOW ON HEALTH TOO
Naoto: ...when did I ask?
Yu: if I had a healing move I'd heal you Yosuke
Yosuke: thanks bro
Rise: apologize to Naokun and I'll heal you too, Yosuke
Yosuke: WHAT
--
Yosuke is surrounded by queer people.
Cause. Kanji is very gay, Rise is bi, Naoto is bi and trans, Yu is gay, Yukiko and Chie are both gay-
Yosuke: I'm the only straight one...
Yu: ...we just made out. You're not that straight
Yosuke: we're wearing socks, it's not gay
--
Yosuke getting saved by the fucking. Rainbow parade that is the starting trio in this au
--
Rise rejoining Naoto at the like entrance TV set every time with a big leaping hug
"you did good,"
"Thank you!! It's cause our Navi always has my back~"
Yosuke: I hate them
Yu: ...you did wonderful
Yosuke: I wish Rise jumped at me like that-
Yu:
Ten seconds later they all hear Yosuke shout in pain cause. Yu jumped on him
Naoto: ...ignoring them-
He's cut off by a kiss
Rise: sorry!! You're just, too cute with those glasses,
--
Rise always wears flats. Especially since it makes her just short enought that with Naoto's platforms she can be under his arm
--
They're awful during the ski trip. Naoto and Rise. Always trying to sneak kisses but they're not sneaky at all
Yosuke: guys. Where are Rise and Naoto
Chie: probably making out
Yukiko: probably
Yu: they bought hot chocolate, I saw Naoto in line there
Kanji: they're probably making out yeah
Yosuke: damn, I'm so jealous of Naoto!
Yu: ...
Yu: we were making out the other day. Your hand was in my pants
Yosuke: yeah, the back. That's not gay man!
--
Chie: okay, let's bet. How far until Yosuke admits its gay? I'll say. Pants off, both sides
Yukiko: hm, hand in underwear
Kanji: both butt naked
Yu: ...full on. Actual gay sex.
Chie: ...dude,
Yu: ...why do I love him
--
They're not usually the couple to make out constantly. Typically it's, sweet kisses. Spending hours together, Rise napping while Naoto watches Featherman. But. They do occasionally get carried away. It happens more as Naoto gets his T increased. But that first year? They're not too much
--
Rise: *giggling* your hair is so soft, I could play with it for hours,,
Naoto: sjfjfufhfj,
Rise: awe!! You're all blushy,, gosh, now I *have* to kiss you
--
He just. One hand in her back pocket, the other, palm flat on her back, fingers just under the hem of the comfy T-shirt she stole from him
Rise trails her kisses up towards his ear, sucking a quick mark right under it, where she knows Naoto's weak. He's a puddle on the couch, and she can kiss down to those Very Nice collarbones before he'll recover enough to pull her back in for some proper kisses
Naoto: I wanna, flip
Rise: go for it, big guy~
Naoto: its a thin couch, babe. I. Both of us need to work this out
Rise: ...oh, right
They awkwardly shuffle, until it's Rise lying back on the couch
Naoto: ...did you leave a hickey on me again?
Rise: *giggling* maybe~
Naoto: grandfather is going to so kill me...
Rise: well, as pay back, you can give me some?
Naoto: what do you mean some? Is there more than one? Rise-
She quickly pulls him down for another long kiss
--
After his bottom surgery, the rest of Royale just drive him right to his place in Inaba where he has three months off to heal and be with his friends. It went a little rough this time, he reacted weird to the anesthesia and his legs are. Wonky for a bit
Naoto post surgery just talks the other idols' ears off about how he can't wait to see Rise again
Knight: Im driving so someone else please LIGHTLY poke at his side for me
Dame: DIBS
Knight: anyone but Dame.
Naoto: I mish her so much,,,, wanna. Kiss her, and snuggle, and, maybe take her shirt off-
Princess: oh my god I'm going to do it. I'll tape his fucking mouth shut-
Queen: I'll be giving your recovery care package to that Kanji boy, right?
Naoto: mmmmmyewh,,, him. Him and, and my Rise are gonna watch over me,,,, *little giggle* I'm gonna get to see Rise again!!
Knight: yeah. Give it to the big guy. I think Ms Rise is gonna be a bit occupied with this one
The van isn't even parked and Rise is running up to open the back door
"NAOKUN!!"
"RISSSSSSSSE,"
She gives him a tender smooch, ruffles his hair
"hey, Handsome. You're looking so good!"
"Youre soooo pretty,,,,"
Knight: where's Kanji? We were told he would help get Naoto inside
Rise: KANJI! THEYRE HERE
Kanji comes out in a little pink apron with kitties on it, ready to carefully carry Naoto up to his room: sorry, I was making him his favourite ramen
Naoto: KANJIIIIIIIIII!
Kanji: hey little man, feeling okay?
Naoto: I got. Dick. I'm, great,
Kanji carries him up all slow and gentle, Rise with his blue duffle over her shoulder, getting hugs from the rest of Royale. They've come to adore her through Naoto. The photos, the way his face would always light up at her texts,,
--
The others come by to visit Naoto who. Has been coming down from the pain meds and is less than happy his friends are around while he's stuck lounging in bed in just his boxers
Naoto: I wish I could put pants on
Rise: I don't
Yosuke: BLECH, WAIT FOR US TO LEAVE, DAMNIT!
Yu: ignore him. We're happy you're feeling more like yourself, Naoto
Naoto: I'll feel better once I'm healed. Looking down and seeing. Unhealed surgery results. Can be horrifying
Rise: the first time he got up to piss in the night on his own he screamed and fell over
Kanji: Yeah I thought he was being attacked so I grabbed the chair
Naoto: it was very embarrassing
--
Kanji: okay, you're healed enough for a bath. You've got three options: you bathe alone, you have one with me, or one with Rise. Either way, I have to help you into the bath
Naoto: ...no offense, but. Kanji. Why would I choose to bathe with you over my girlfriend?
Kanji: we're bros
Naoto: I'll share with Rise, thanks. But. I'll have a towel around my waist until I'm in the water. I'm sure Rise can help me to get that resorted afterwards
Kanji: whatever you say man. I'm game to keep my eyes closed
Naoto: do not handle me with your eyes closed. Please.
Rise: I'll be there to help guide him though!
Rise slips into the tub behind Naoto, helps him remove the little waist towel, and then they're just. Relaxing in a warm bath
Rise: I have to sponge you down, but. I think we'd both prefer some skin time first
Naoto: mm. I've missed you so much,
Rise: I know. But, this is your last year. After that, we can do whatever! I can move to Tokyo with you if you want to continue being an idol, or you can move here with me, and we'll take over the tofu shop, or do our own thing
Naoto: I love you more than I. Ever imagined I'd ever love someone. You're truly special, Rise
She presses little kisses along his shoulders, hands tangled with his under the water
Rise: I understand, cause I feel the same about you!!
Naoto: this is gonna be the best three months ever ...
Rise: mm~ you just worry about healing, mister. Then we won't have to rely on Kanji to carry you around like a little doll
Naoto: yeah that's. Embarrassing.
Kanji: LET ME KNOW WHEN I NEED TO LIFT THE BOY
Naoto: I'm 19,,, I'm a man, right Rise?
Rise: ...hm? Yeah, yes of course, you're my man too.
Naoto: ... are you thinking about the scruff?
Rise: I MISS YOUR SCRUFF PLEASE DONT SHAVE WHILE YOURE ON BREAK
--
Rise tracing on the light hairs on his chest, smiling as she trails down to the patch growing just under his belly button
Naoto: uhm. Babe?
Rise: sorry, got distracted. Do you need something?
Naoto: ...please move your hand. *Please*.
Rise: ...OH IM SORRY
Kanji: hey I made cookies!
Kanji: ...why are you both blushing like that
--

Fellow Arcana Swap & Temperance!Ryotaro enthusiast here!
Tumblr media
From the different sources I've dug up about your Arcana Swap AU, you have the Fool, Magician, Emperor, Hierophant, Lovers, Chariot, Justice, Fortune, Hanged Man, Temperance, Devil, & Star handled.
Which characters are the Priestess, Empress, Strength, Hermit, Death, Tower, Moon, Sun & Aeon Social Links? I presume the Seekers of Truth constitutes Judgement, so...
(If you haven't decided yet, that's completely okay. Heck, I'm willing to help with ideas if you'd like! Oh, and the remaining characters are Yumi/Ayane, Eri, Hisano, Sayoko, Shu, Margaret, Marie, Ai, Kou/Daisuke & the Shrine Fox.)
oooh ty for the question, get my gears turning 😈
I'm also thinking of other npcs as social links since I didn't strictly adhere to swapping the party to the same pool of arcana. So Mitsuo, Namatame, Misuzu, Mooroka, Kashiwagi, Daidara, Shiroku, gas attendant (lol) are also being considered! I was also thinking of Mayumi and (especially) Saki, but they still die pretty immediately in my swap so that wouldn't be very fair. sorry Saki :(
I will never actually write a fic for this alksjdf so idk why I'm going so hard but I do want to think of the reason Chie would encounter these people and why they would then be their swapped arcana. I don't have them all figured out right now but a few of them:
the Empress is still Margaret as I'm picturing the Velvet Room as outsiders that know this swap-a-roo is happening and just think it's funny
Tower!Namatame is speaking to me a bit...
Priestess!Marie: priestess typically associated with spirituality, so I think Marie would act as Chie’s ~spiritual~ connection back to Inaba that she lost when she moved
eta how outlandish would it be to have a department store as a social link.... cos Death!Junes makes sense when u think about it
