On their wedding day.

Mastermind, Pinhead, Trickster

Mastermind

A wedding?

Do we have to?

It isn't that he doesn't love you.

He just doesn't want to go through all that trouble.

But if you really want to, he'll cave.

"Alright dearheart. Leave this to me."

Wesker will organize everything.

He's actually kind of a control freak.

But this wedding will be perfect.

He'll make sure of it.

Everyone who is willing to be civil is invited.

Except Chris.

Fuck Chris.

The venue is in the forest.

And he did a spectacular job decorating and organizing everything.

It was done all on his own.

The flowers, the food, everything.

His outfit is fairly formal to begin with, so it doesn't change much.

He will remove his glasses and coat.

That's something he never ever does.

Seeing you walking down the aisle, his jaw will just drop.

He's speechless.

But he gathers his composure quickly.

"You look lovely, dearest."

And he'll smile sincerely.

Despite his cold demeanor, his vows are hand written.

"You are what I live for."

And it's just enough to make you melt.

He isn't big on dancing.

But he's been practicing slow dancing for your wedding night.

And it did it for you.

He would do it for you all over again if it meant seeing you smile.

Pinhead

A wedding huh?

Well, he doesn't mind per say.

But he's a priest, and he isn't sure if it's permitted in his religion for him to get married.

After some debating and discussion with the other priests, it's decided you could marry him.

His culture knows nothing about it though.

So the whole organization is going to be up to you while he brushes up his knowledge on what he's supposed to do.

It's a simple wedding.

But there is sentiment.

Everyone can tell how much you love each other.

And they are moved to tears.

He's actually changed into a suit.

And you can't say he doesn't look amazing.

Seeing you walk down the aisle.

Seeing your smile.

The joy and love in his eyes are evident.

At first, he was hesitant about the whole marriage thing.

But, seeing you there; seeing everyone that showed up to celebrate his union with you.

It made all this worth the while.

He's really excited to dance with you.

It's obvious he's been practicing.

Because he's amazing.

Seeing your smile, he knows he made the right choice.

Trickster

Of course you want to marry him.

Look at him!

This won't be a cheap wedding.

If he wasn't in the realm, this wedding would cost millions.

Movie stars, expensive champagne, the works.

But he is in the realm.

So the great Ji-Woon Hak is going to have to settle for what the realm has.

And it isn't much.

But he's going to make this the most amazing beautiful wedding he can.

Everyone is invited.

And they better come.

If they don't, Ji-Woon will be on them with his knives ready.

This isn't a traditional normal wedding.

Because he isn't a traditional normal person.

He doesn't care what you wear as long as it looks nice.

His suit?

Expensive fabrics, fancy colors, beautifully crafted.

Seeing you?

He's practically drooling.

"My love. You look amazing."

His vows are hand written.

And, honestly, kind of self-centered.

"I could never imagine someone like me finding a lover even remotely equal. And yet, I found you."

Take what you can get.

He doesn't have to practice slow dancing.

Or any kind of dancing.

He'll sweep you off your feet before you even realize he did so.

As all of the other girls groan in jealousy.

But, rest assured, you're all he wants.

Phantom Thief outfit breakdown: pt 7

This is a continuation of my previous post and series regarding my opinions on the phantom thieves' metaverse costumes, prompted by a poll by @waywardsalt. I will link all of these together as they're finished.

Akechi - Ann - Makoto - Sumire - Futaba - Yusuke

Next Up: Detective Prince Akechi! It's time for the marching band prince outfit. This one is much more break down than changes tbh.

For some reason he doesn't have a piece from the set of official art I've been including, so he gets this (does let us see the back though). I'm starting to see more and more people say they think this one is hideous, but I actually don't agree! From a design and character perspective, this outfit is striking, very coherent, and richly detailed without feeling overly cluttered. I think part of the reason it's so jarring is because its so on the nose for the prince personal and thus comes across as sort of childish and impulsive, like it was chosen on a whim, but I do think that's intentional. The purpose of this outfit is to contrast directly with Joker's, the white counterpoint to his black ensemble, lure the thieves into a false sense of security, and to make the black mask outfit more of a shock, and it accomplishes this in my opinion.

I also like that's its a subtle form of rebellion that's very specific to Akechi's situation; he's a bastard child being used by his powerful father with little recognition, so the idea of being a prince, someone powerful and important because of his birth and his familial connections, IS a form of rebellion for him. The rest of the thieves (besides Futaba and Joker, who're there for the 8/28 trauma dump) don't know this though, so it flies over their heads. It's the pristine, white prince to the black mask's dark knight.

The most obvious inspiration here is the fairy tale prince aesthetic, playing off his media moniker, but it also incorporates a significant amount of formal military regalia. I'm not super familiar with this particular branch of history and fashion, but it seems very European 1700s and 1800s to me, very Napoleonic. The white color seems very Napoleon's Grande Armee to me, but the cut, double row of buttons, and shoulder epulettes scream 1912 American Navy full dress uniform. Ironically, this mix of military gravitas and fairy tale stylization means that the outfit ends up looking startlingly similar to the duelist uniforms of Revolutionary Girl Utena in my eyes, which is probably not the exact vibe they were going for.

The red and gold accents help break up the monotony of the white very well, and the piping on the arms and legs provide a nice lengthening effect. The mask is very interesting, because while it follows the European vibe, its distinctly not military; instead, it pulls on two different types of masks: the zanni and the plague doctor mask. The zanni mask is Italian, named for the character it denoted in commedia dell'arte plays; this character was a servant from the countryside and often a trickster character, which nicely alludes to how Akechi is the rival trickster to Joker in Yaldaoboath's game, as well as the way he's intentionally tricking both Shido and the thieves. The plague doctor mask is, obviously, the mask worn to prevent the spread of the black plague during medical examinations and treatment during its outbreak in the Renaissance, and I presume it relates to Akechi in the way he's been treated as a pest his whole life and is trying to maintain distance with the thieves during Sae's Palace.

There's no real changes I'd make here; I think this outfit does its job wonderfully, with a wealth of attention to detail and well used motifs. Most distaste with the costume is probably personal preference and the shock it gives you the first time you see it. It's definitely not something I'd ever wear but it gets the job done well. I place it 4th out of 10, with a solid score of 7/10.

#akechi goro #goro akechi #persona 5 #persona 5 crow #persona outfit critique series #yes it does look like a marching band uniform (source: I was in marching band) but that's because they have the same inspirations #the similarity there probably isn't intentional (idk how popular marching band is in Japan)#and lets face it: this is leagues better than the black mask costume
