I almost never post my art outside group chats, but today I was in a mood and I wanted to work through some of my creative block by drawing my specialest boy and god's favorite princess.

Kid?" Came the hero's questioning voice came and Izuku realized they had stopped.

He felt the rise of embarrassed heat run up his face. The hero eyed him carefully. It felt as if he was trying to get a read on Izuku. Izuku hoped his face wasn't giving away his nervousness.

Unfortunately for him the man noticed immediately, "You don't have a home. Do you?"

Izuku immediately wanted to deny that he was homeless. Technically he did have a home. It just wasn't one the man would approve of.

"I have a home," he tried unsuccessfully if the way the man raised an eyebrow was any indication.

"Really?" He questioned, "Then lead the way."

Izuku froze. He didn't move and neither did Eraserhead. They just stared at each other for several long moments. The urge to reach for his phone was strong. To do so would end poorly for him however. Eraserhead and Tsukauchi had seen his face. They would be able to identify him and using his phone would reveal him as Rabbit.

Then the tension broke and Eraser gave him a knowing look, "Didn't think so. Where were you going to go kid? It's not safe for you to be out on the streets alone."

"I'm fine," he insisted, "Besides I'm not alone I have Alcor."

"Who in fu..." started Eraserhead before another voice this one amused cut in.

"You called, Shining One?"

Perfect fucking timing.

So sometimes you write a fic, and then you proceed to crack yourself up with the title every time you see it badly enough that you end up drawing the image you think of, despite the fact that said image DOES NOT APPEAR IN THE FIC AT ANY POINT. Anyway, here's an incredibly angry baby Yamato in a shark hoodie. Reference images are under the read more.

I know it's still pretty early, but I figured now is as good a time as any for a tentative interest check in another Yamato Hotsuweek fanwork event in June? I 'organized' (using that word real loosely lol) one a few years ago that was just me and a friend, but I thought I'd fish around for some interest. June 10th (Yamato's birthday) is on a Monday this year, so we could do June 10th through the 16th, or do it the week before and end on June 10th. Does that sound like something you'd want to participate in? Give me a shout! My DMs and ask inbox are open, or you can reply here.

Devil Survivor 2 for the Nintendo DS is a tactical role-playing game for the Nintendo DS, delves into apocalyptic themes, where players navigate a world under siege by mysterious invaders known as the Septentriones, who appear once a day. The narrative interweaves traditional Japanese mythology with complex character-driven plots, encapsulating themes of fate, morality, existential crisis, and the nature of sacrifice. This analysis will draw from the existentialist views of Jean-Paul Sartre, the moral philosophy of Immanuel Kant, the dialectics of Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel, and the nihilism of Friedrich Nietzsche to explore the dark and intricate world of "Devil Survivor 2."

1. Existentialism and Free Will: Jean-Paul Sartre’s existentialism, which emphasizes the individual's responsibility in an indifferent universe, resonates deeply with the player's experience in "Devil Survivor 2." The protagonist and other key characters, like Daichi Shijima and Io Nitta, must make choices that not only determine their own fate but also that of the world. Sartre’s notion that "existence precedes essence" can be seen in how these characters define their essence through actions taken in response to the existential threat posed by the Septentriones. Their struggle highlights the existential freedom and burden of choice in shaping their destinies.

2. Kantian Ethics and Moral Imperatives: Immanuel Kant’s deontological ethics, which focus on adherence to duty defined by a categorical imperative, provide a moral framework for analyzing the decisions characters must make under extreme duress. Kantian ethics would challenge the characters, especially someone like Yamato Hotsuin, who often makes pragmatic decisions, to consider whether their actions respect the humanity in others as an end in itself, rather than merely as means to an end. The moral dilemmas faced by these characters, such as choosing to sacrifice few to save many, are critiqued through Kant’s philosophy, questioning the moral rectitude of their actions.

3. Hegelian Dialectics and Historical Progress: The narrative structure of "Devil Survivor 2" can be explored through Hegel’s dialectics, where the synthesis of thesis and antithesis leads to progress. The conflict with the Septentriones (thesis) against humanity’s current state (antithesis) forces a new synthesis, potentially leading to a new state of being or consciousness. This dialectical process is embodied in the evolution of characters like Hibiki Kuze, whose personal growth reflects the broader existential and moral evolution of humanity in response to supernatural challenges.

4. Nietzschean Nihilism and the Will to Power: Friedrich Nietzsche’s concepts of nihilism and the will to power are exemplified in the game’s exploration of post-apocalyptic leadership and morality. Characters such as Ronaldo Kuriki operate under their interpretations of what is the best course for the future, often driven by a Nietzschean will to power that manifests in the desire to shape the new world according to their values, rejecting old moralities that they see as irrelevant in the face of existential destruction. This reflects Nietzsche’s idea of creating new values in the absence of traditional ones, embracing the will to power as a driving force behind human action.

5. Camus’s Absurdism and Rebellion: Albert Camus’s philosophy of absurdism and the concept of rebellion offer a poignant framework for understanding the characters' continual struggle against seemingly insurmountable odds. In "Devil Survivor 2," the absurdity of the situation—battling daily against world-ending threats—mirrors Camus's notion of the absurd, a world that does not inherently offer meaning or justice. The characters’ relentless fight for survival and their quest to impose their own meaning on this chaos can be viewed as a form of Camusian rebellion, where one must imagine Sisyphus happy, as he finds meaning in the struggle itself.

In conclusion, "Devil Survivor 2" offers a deeply philosophical narrative that challenges players to contemplate profound questions regarding free will, moral duty, historical progress, and existential rebellion. Through its complex characters and their interactions, the game provides a rich canvas for exploring how individuals confront and navigate a world teetering on the brink of oblivion, illustrating the enduring human quest for meaning and morality in an indifferent universe.
