Also I can't believe I'm saying this about a persona 5 spinoff but p5t is actually... Surprisingly good? The character dynamics within the phantom thieves are much more fleshed out (which is something I always took issue with in the original game), the character screentime is a lot more balanced and mostly no flanderisation (aka yusuke gets to Do Things for once, makoto gets to Not Do Everything thank god, morgana is the most likeable he's ever been to me), the new characters are incredibly fun and executed very well especially for spinoff-only characters, the plot concepts are interesting, the sprites are very fun and expressive, like. idk I just didn't expect it to make up for some of my issues with the main game tbh!! a pleasant surprise for sure

Tumblr media
i took a deep breath as my arms were practically wrapped around myself. i stared at the star market sign and bit my lip, slowly stepping through the automatic doors.
i quickly made my way to the customer service counter, where i saw matt clocking out. he turned to me and his eyes immediately softened. "hey, y/n," he breathed, stepping towards me.
i smiled quickly and half-heartedly before taking his spot and clocking in.
"are you okay? you left real fast yesterday, and.. i don't know, chris said he tried to reach out and-"
"yeah, i fell asleep. i didn't feel good," i mumbled, biting my lip as i tried not to let any sadness show in my expression. i turned to matt and smiled softly. "sorry for leaving so sudden. i just felt.. unwell," i mumbled.
matt slowly nodded and smiled softly. "okay, if you insist... i just want to be able to be a friend to you, nick does too, and especially chris." he chuckled. all i could do was look at him, but it looked more like i was looking through him and spacing out. matt's smile fell as he sighed. "chris also mentioned that when you guys were sitting, he got a notification from-"
"damn, y/n is here again today?" maeve's voice rang as she set her bag down and practically shoved me to the side to clock in. "guess i gotta do everything around here today." she mumbled as she side-eyed me, and i bit my lip. i couldn't do this today.
"maeve, you can't talk to her like that, she's still learning." matt told her, softly but very clearly as he sighed and gathered his things. "y/n, if you need anything, or just somebody to talk to, please reach out, okay?" he asked, and looked at me for any form of response.
"right, yeah. thanks, matt." i breathed, and he smiled at my response before stepping towards the exit.
i turned to maeve and bit my lip as she scrolled through her phone and applied pink lip gloss against her lips. she was stunning, and i was a bit envious of her long, blonde hair. i closed my eyes and let out a sigh, looking at my phone. i was a bit surprised to see some messages from who i had been dreading to see all day, and who i had hoped would have left with matt.
from: chris⭐ hey y/n, hope your shift goes well
i shuttered as i looked up at maeve. what if she was actively texting him? i turned to look around the store the best i can, and i saw chris pushing some carts inside.
damn, he was really still here.
i let out a breath as i began to straighten up around my department, seeing as it was a slow day and maeve was no help.
-
i sat in the breakroom as i stared at the wall. no music played in my ears, and nobody else sat in the room with me. i simply stared at the wall for my break. i sat and thought about all of the glances i had passed to chris, and how many times i caught him looking back. i also watched him and maeve talk quite often, which would cause my heart to clench each and every time. it didn't make sense to me. why did he pretend to care so much about me when he clearly had maeve?
"hi chris!" maeve smiled brightly and leaned against the counter to be closer to him, who was just trying to walk by and pick up a box of items.
"hey, maeve," he breathed, and she practically squealed at him, causing me to turn my head the other day and practically wince.
"whatcha got planned tonight? did you wanna go out?" maeve asked, which resulted in some silence and a deep breath.
"i'm busy tonight." he mumbled.
my back was still turned as i went through another box.
"i'm taking my fifteen, maeve. i'll be back." i breathed before swinging around on my heel and shoving past them both.
and that was why i was sitting against this worn down couch, staring at the wall. it made no sense to me. none of it.
after about thirteen minutes passed, i sighed and stood up to begin collecting my things and getting ready to head back out.
the door swung open.
"y/n, hey can we talk?" chris breathed, and i turned to the sudden sound of the door opening. since it was silent in the room, it scared me a bit more than i would have liked to admit.
"my fifteen is up, sorry." i breathed and attempted to walk past him.
i felt a hand against my own, before i turned to chris and bit my lip. facing him was really hard. my eyes welled up almost immediately, and chris picked up on it very quickly. worry rushed through his expression.
"after we close. please?" chris asked, carefully letting my arm go. i slowly nodded before i pulled away. i stood for a few moments, looking at him, biting my lip and then walking back towards the exit.
"thank fuck. about time. what were you even doing in there anyway?" maeve spat, and i turned to her. this really was not the time for her to speak to me that way, and in fact, it never was the time. "i had to deal with literally four people when you were gone. all by myself. can you do something for once and clean the place up?"
i bit my lip as i stared at her. part of me wanted to confront her, call her out and tell her that she was no help and incredibly lazy. another part of me wanted to beat her ass right then and there, but the other part of me knew that if i started any work drama, i could potentially get fired and i should keep my mouth shut.
i took in a deep breath.
"i'll get on it," i replied, moving to grab a broom.
-
11:30pm. only thirty more minutes before i had to talk with chris in the parking lot. and only thirty more minutes that i had to deal with maeve any longer.
"y/n, these don't go here. god, do you do anything right?" she muttered as she pulled out a roll of receipt paper, and i stopped what i was doing. i carefully stood up and let out a soft sigh.
"sorry, maeve. nobody told me where those go." i responded under my breath.
maeve was sitting against the counter now, looking at herself in her phone camera and once again applying lip gloss to her lips.
i watched her for a few moments before going to grab a box. it ripped, and collapsed directly into my foot and caused a loud bang.
"ow, fuck," i breathed, biting my lip as i looked down at my foot, and then at the mess i had created. stupid box.
"y/n, are you kidding me? this just adds to the list of things we have to clean up. why are you so clumsy?" she asked.
i had enough.
"can you shut the fuck up?" i spat, causing her to cover her mouth in shock. i scoffed. "all you fucking do is sit there on your goddamn phone. i have done everything today, and you left me the other day. you haven't trained me yet you expect me to know everything around here. why are you such a fucking bitch?" i raised my voice, now visibly shaking with anger. my face was red, and i felt tears brimming my eyes. "i've worked like three shifts here and you treat me like this? name one thing you've done today." i questioned, and she visibly stuttered.
"absolutely nothing," a voice rang as i looked over and saw chris standing there. "she's done nothing but text me all day."
i cringed slightly. nice way to top it off.
"but chrissy-" maeve started, to which chris immediately stopped her.
"i told you to stop calling me that, it's annoying." he muttered before he stepped towards me and began picking some of the things up that i had dropped. my face scrunched a bit in confusion as i tried to piece together what he had said.
maeve seemed to hurt, but she put on a stupid face and quickly yet sloppily grabbed her things before she stomped away to clock out.
i took in a deep breath and sighed, looking over at chris who had now finished picking everything up. "thanks.. for doing that. you didn't have to." i mumbled, looking to the side.
chris didn't respond. he stood up and looked at me, smiling like a little kid. "that was fucking awesome, didn't know you had it in you to talk like that to someone, especially on the clock?"
i smiled shyly and looked down before rubbing my eyes and chuckling slightly. "she was just getting on my nerves..."
"she does for everyone, y/n. i promise. it's okay." he breathed, and i looked at him with a soft nod. "is your foot okay?" he asked, and i shrugged.
"it's fine, i guess. hurts, but i'll live."
"i'll walk you home." chris responded, very quickly, as i looked at him and smiled softly.
"whatever you say."
-
the air was kind of heavy, if i were being honest. it was hard to even think about everything that had happened in the last twenty-four hours.
"y/n?"
i turned to chris as he called my name, and bit my lip. it was time to finally talk about everything.
"can you tell me what's up? why you left so suddenly last night, why you haven't answered my texts, what's wrong?" he questioned, as i simply walked beside him and let out a deep sigh.
"i just..." i took in a deep breath. i stopped walking and turned to chris. "when i moved here, i thought i had nobody. some people would be excited for a fresh start, but i dreaded every moment here. i met you, matt and nick, and realized that things may not be so bad here. especially when i'm with you," i whispered the last part, looking down at my feet.
chris had stopped walking as well, looking at me and nodding softly as he listened closely.
"after we had hung out, i truly thought that maybe i saw you as something more, and when we sat together at your place, i kind of knew from there that i for sure had something more than just the friendly thought of you." i smiled softly, and he nodded, knowing where i was going. "i like you a lot chris, i did from the moment we walked together to mcdonalds and the feelings i had for you, i thought were mutual. but then you got that text on your phone from maeve, and-"
"y/n," he breathed, stepping towards me.
i bit my lip and looked up at him, and he immediately shook his head.
"no." he almost laughed out, and i tilted my head. nothing was funny to me right now. "i don't know how she got me number. genuinely. that's reason one as to why i don't like her. reason two, she's an asshole. and reason three," he smiled softly at me as he gently brushed a few loose strands of my hair behind my ear.
with a soft lean forward and a slight tilt of the head, chris had pressed his lips to mine. i closed my eyes and leaned into the kiss, smiling softly against him. he smiled as well before carefully pulling away and moving his hands to carefully grasp mine.
"i like you."
i smiled softly and looked up at him. as we stood on the sidewalk and stared at each other, i bit my lip and shyly looked down before wrapping my arms tightly around him. "i'm sorry.." i whispered, and chris chuckled.
he wrapped his arms around me and gently rubbed my back, carefully swaying us both. he rested his head on top of mine.
"don't be sorry. you had every right to be confused and frustrated." he gently pulled away and looked at me before he carefully took my hand in his.
our fingers intertwined, as we began walking again.
"let's get you home."

Stories that you can use bc I have no motivation to make them 🗿 (P1)
(bottom) is a popular streamer recognized as one of the prettiest boys in the platform.
His content is cosplaying, playing games, and, making ppl think that his a girl at some point.
(top) was the school president. He was perfect in every way, but someone had in his mind mostly of the time. It was the (b) but he loved everything about him.
Plot 1: (top) noticed the similaries that the quiet kid and her favorite streamer. So (Top) confronts (Bottom), while (b) freaks out and promised him to do anything but spread out rumors.
Sub plot 1: (b) said that he has a crush on someone but his said crush was cursing himself.
Plot 2: (b)'s manager decided to arrange him with a pretend bf which surprised him. He wanted to decline but he really can't.. They made it seem that they we're wholesome and cute. But it was all made up. and (t) confronted him but said he was his bf.
But told him eventually.
Sub plot: Becuz if the bottom reciprocates the top's feelings BUT HE loves his job more than the top, then i think there's gonna be drama. The manager set him up with a pretend bf, right? And the bottom can't decline becuz he has to do what the manager said. So it depends on what kind of personality you are planning for the bottom cuz if you're planning for the bottom to be very loyal to the top and puts him first before anything, then i think there won't be too much drama. But if the bottom is really into his job more than his loved one, then that's gonna be drama.
The bottom liked the kiss but was confused and unsure of his feelings. He pushed the top away. It was very awkward. They didn't say anything and they ignored each other for a week but the top is always trying to reach out to the bottom but the bottom always ignores him because he was just too surprised about the sudden kiss. Soon,, the pretend bf of the bottom started to have feelings for him and confessed but the bottom didn't feel his heart beats fast just like when he did when he was with the top. He soon realized how much he actually liked the top so he rejected his pretend bf that confessed to him but then that pretend bf didn't take it seriously and got aggressive towards the bottom, forcing him to fall inlove with him. But then idk what happens next but it would be better if the top saw what the pretend bf was trying to do with the bottom ( he was being touchy with him) so he went to the rescue and pow pow pow him punch 👊👊👊 djjdnejeisqo. Xkak be aggressive be be aggressive 🤩 And then that's how they talked about how much they love each other and they got into a relationship and they lived happily ever after. Oh and also, it would be possible that the bottom quit his job if the manager forces him to do stuff that he doesn't like. But if the manager is actually good and agrees that the bottom's actual bf would be shown in the stream or whatever that is, as long as they both agree on it , then kkk.
Plot 3: I'll update if I have anything on my pee brain-

it seems to me that the deal with pathologic 2 english dubbing is entirely dividing all of the characters into three categories: British, South Park character and Women (with intended derogation). honestly drives me insane a bit because with russian well we don't really have that distinct of accents so everyone kinda sounds the same in that manner... and it almost feels less theatrical (maybe it should. but the way english dubbing sounds theatrical To Me is. well. NAWT GOOD) in russian voice over, especially with the kids. (still thinking about british 20 y.o. oxford student that is Notkin and south park caricature voiced by an adult woman that is Khan in english dub. *[metaphorically] holding a cig in between my fingers pensively* still not dealing very well with it emotionally.) the only voice that set me absolutely fucking insane in russian voice over was Eva's – WHY DOES SHE TALK LIKE THAT!! WHAT DID THEY DO TO HER!!!!! misogyny in casual ways etc. etc. but with english dubbing every other character forced a fight or flight response out of me. idk maybe i am a bit biased but with the way it is just so different.... pathologic 2 (RUS) and pathologic 2 (ENG) are like two siblings who are mostly the same but one of them is objectively . uglier than the other. speaking of siblings, it turns out Stamatins have DIFFERENT voice actors in english. this feels like a crime....
i could talk about the voices for Hours bro i played the game russian voices/english subtitles and most of the lp's i watched also went this route except One so i discovered the english voices like second-handedly and Scared Me bro scared me... i've already talked about the kids' voices like I Know. I Know how hard it is to VA kids especially if you have to work with regulations making it harder to hire child VAs (for the better of the kid mind you, i'm not saying #bringbackunregulatedchildlabor here) and i'm sure the women who voice teenage/child boys are doing their absolute bests but man. i think the suspension of disbelief works way more when working with for ex. anime voice acting bc you can See the characters are only vague simulacra of children, but in a game that has pretty detailed 3D models and strives for a certain realism in the faces and whatnot, it is Jarring...
i think the use of British/generally Non-American english accent is like a commin trope to denote a foreignness or a different social status (because most of the anglophone players Will Be americans because. bigger country) but like. come on. look_how_they_massacred_my_boy.mp4... i'm sure there are subtleties within the russian voices that i'm not gettin because. well i'm not russian i guess that helps that would be Complicated to transpose in english but like. worarrgh.
i'm Very Glad both of these games had a release with an english voice acting cast because we like. Know. the tendency that americans have wrt Foreign Media / refusing to interact with things if they are not Dubbed in english even if they are subtitled [i think the whole Parasite movie release put that on the carpet again but i knew of it way before that] so it allowed for More People to check out the games [again. for the better and the worse...]
can we talk about eva and the twins let me talk about eva and the twins. can i talk about eva and the twins?
p2 russian eva has a light and high-pitched voice but it's kinda like. airy and hazy like she's deep in thoughts like she's daydreaming... her english voice sounds like the squeaky voices anglophone VTubers make so sound like cutesy anime girls. she sounding more like a child. and when you pair it with her neotonous face with her fit that looks like a child having dressed themselves and the general "youthening" of her personality. well i ain't saying anything but i'm making the biggest side-eye known to man rn!
p1 russian andrey has a sort of like high almost mighty and haughty attitude, kinda towering, p1 russian peter also has this sort of height with pride to it but fraying on the ends like mouth woolen (the Drink)... p1 english andrey has some of that height and restraint, kinda high in the throat like he's being above... p1 english peter is Squeaky. he's so squeaky. almost sounds giddy from time to time but also. The Drink. my man an arm on the wall drink in the other at a party telling you about shit only his drunk mind can comprehend...
p2 russian andrey has a depth and a certain Mystery but it still looks natural/like he's Deep In Thoughts... p2 russian peter is way #deeper than his p1 counterpart but it still looks natural/that's a Depressed voice if i ever heard one. scraping the floors with it.
p2 english andrey is so raspy it's kinda comical like he playin toughguy and p2 english peter while still Deep is like Theatrical to a goofy extend like IT'S NOT THAT SERIOUS. YOU SLEEP IN A BATHTUB 😭😭
while it. is normal for siblings to have different voices and would make sense for two siblings to have different voices, and as such voice actors... it doesn't for the stamatwins!! are you crazy? you SEPARATE the stamatwins? you make them into two people instead of two sides of a same coin? JAIL!! JAIL FOR THE VOICE ACTORS

Geuine discussion question for patho enjoying friends mutuals and followers why did isidor send his son away to study modern science if he wanted him to inherit his menkhu role and serve as foreman anyways. And I’m sure this was bc of time and money constraints in p1 (I’ve only played classic hd maybe they cover it in p2 sorry if they do) but wouldn’t burakhs medical training being overall modern (i mean he was gone for ten years which is more time than he spent learning from his father presumably?) factor way more into his alienation from the town and the kin once he returns ? Idk just a thought that always seemed like a road not taken by the game to me I just figured it seemed like a thing worth considering more

im curious. who are your fav characters from each mainline persona game that you have played 🤔🤔 (take this as an invitation to ramble about them)
YIPEEEEEEEE here we go will be long so im hiding it under a readmore again. also since you said mainline im not including toshiro or eri but you Know...... im abnorma, abt them
i have NOT played p1 and i've just barely started p2is (though ive watched snippets of someone elses's playthrough) but i will say. based on my limited knowledge i rly like hidehiko, ayase, naoya, tatsuya, jun, eikichi, yukino, maya, and lisa
p3 and p4 are difficult bc theyre the ones im the most autistic abt and the main entire casts as a whole are comforts for me. but anyways. going to talk about p3 first Yes I Will Include SLs too. im abnormal. top 3 main insaners for p3 though are akihiko, yukari, and junpei. for me
makoto/minato sooo so gender envy. im obsessed with his design a lot. his character i do also like hes a little goofy and so mecore but mainly his design is something i love a lot
same with kotone. also love how she has a sort of distinct personality that you can tell with slight dialogue changes that her counterpart doesnt say. shes rly real. love reload but i miss her...
as stated yukari's one of my favs. she didnt Use to be (i did like her but Not as much) but she's slowly become one and man. i love that silly girl. her haters will not survive the winter actually. it does piss me off though because like. yeah shes not perfect no character rly is but she's a traumatized mentally ill teenage girl with a dead dad and a neglectful mom cut her some slack maybe? god forbid women do anything. idk. but im obsessed with her. her character is actually so interesting to me and not a lot of people talk about it? like her whole fear of death causing issues with summoning her persona like at the beginnning, her dad being involved with the kirijo groups shit, how she puts on a cheerful front but is actually deeply really lonely :(, her kinda playful insult friendship with junpei (deep down they do care abt eachother. i wish that was explored more. i found a rly good fic abt it once.) and etc etc. idrk what to say but shes sooo. i also love how she initially HATES mitsuru and is super jealous of her and then. Well. gay tension is real. anyways shes a transfem lesbian to me btw. yukamitsu ftw
junpei's also become one of my favs. somehow. in a similar vein to yukari in that he wasn't initially my main fav character but i think his character's also pretty interesting and has. a lot of unexplored potential. he's very silly and i love him for that a lot but something i don't see many people talk about is like. his Issues. like yeah hes silly but he's also got some fucked up self-worth issues!!! remember the scene on 5/9 where he kinda gets really upset and goes off on his own and stuff. for example. like i think him being imperfect and having these moments where he's NOT cheerful and goofy all the time and actually deeply really jealous of you because he feels that fighting's all he's good for and he's not worth much else is what makes him interesting. do you get it. like him being tbe silly funny guy isn't all he is as a person yk!!!!! also as far as characterization I point a lot to the scene where yukari's more than willing to go confront the people in the alley while junpei's worried, or scene near the end of the game where yukari teases junpei and he snaps at her, confessing that while he doesn't show it he really is terrified. they all are, at that point. yk what I mean? also people don't acknowledge his trauma with his father enough (maybe because it's only really discussed at all in femc's route... his SL is so good but not enough ppl see it... BUR YEAH did not think I'd go off on a tangent about junpei fucking iori tonight but he's real. hashtag brokeback tartarus. also he's an adhder to me. (oh yeah also want to point out this line in his SL where he says "maybe I have anxiety or something". yeah. that's a line!)
akihiko fucking sanada. ohhhh man. this guy. where do i even START. he's so so crazy like what if your local high school upperclassman boxing champion guy was also really gay for his dying childhood friend and autistic as hell and also traumatized. and he's doing boxing in the first place to overcompensate because the death of his sister made him fear losing anyone else again snd he needs to feel like he has power. he needs control. yk? like this guy made me insane for like several months straight in 2023 and he still makes me ill. to this day. as you can probably tell by my distaste for people seeing yukari and junpei at face value you can probably gather that I hate the protein jokes and i Do. he said it like. Once in p3. it never rly was funny????? and what they did in spinoffs esp p4a to just make him look like a gym rat and nothing more makes me upset bc of the REASON he's obsessed with fighting. he's not just a dumb jock (he also isn't dumb lol he canonically scores very high on his exams) he's overworking himself because feelings of self doubt from trauma have caused him to feel the need to overcompensate so he never loses anyone again. you know? it would've been interesting to see him relapse in p4a if theyd actually done it well. like he doesnt rly give himself time or room to grieve in game (theres rhat onw scene on 10/5 and then he barely talks about it again. man i wish it was developed more...) so realizing that grieving isnt a linear process that he can just repress for a long time and even years after it can still hurt would go INSANE. but no they just turned him into i love protein joke number 20. okay!!! (im very angry) thinking about when my non persona friend after hearing me explain some of the plot described p3 as like a greek tragedy because like. damn. he and shinji were doomed from the start with personas like polydeuces and castor huh. anyways. yeah. continuing writing now that i've watched october 4th in reload AND akihiko's breakdown as a reuslt and i wanna scream and cry and throw up that will be for another post but ooh man it mad eme cry like 3 times. and I KNOEW WHAT HAPPENS. THEYRE SOOOOOOOOOO if you know me im an insane akishinji truther. im just. i wanna talk abt other charactrs so ill stop here but always ask me about akihiko + akishinji + ships i like in general. i am really normal. oh btw transmasc akihiko is forever real to me. also he's autistic and a ptsder. to me (tbf what persona character Doesnt have some form of truama but like. this guy in particular). up there with my highest blorbos
i dooont wanna go on for too long abt every other character in p3 so ill keep this next part short and sweet but if u wanna hear me talk more abt any of them. feel free to. starting with fuuka i love he rmy transfem autistic girlie who has every disease. i also love mitsuru a lot who i Wish had people acknowledge her deeper aspects more. like. she was experimented on and also very sheltered and also a little bit of a girlfail. shes not fully the girlboss you all say she is shes also just a teenage girl!!!!!!!!!! koromaru can do no wrong hes forever the best. i love that dog. ken makes me so so sad he is just a kid!!! what the hell!!!!!! :(. and oh man. shinji. guy who is so wracked with guilt. guy that is dying no matter what happens. guy that dies in his lover's arms
as far as non-sees characters. i rly like strega. esp jin and chidori. dont think abt them enough. also as far as SLs i like keisuke, hidetoshi, bunkichi and mitsuko, kazushi, yuko, and etc etc...i need to see rio and saoris links too they look real. oh also i LOVE ryoji
p4 time !!!!!!
again gonna cut this short so i can actually Fit it all in one post. but wow. i do like all of the IT so so much but im just focusing on my favs. anyways i love yu so much his autistic swagger esp in the animation is amazing. like he is not a "chad" he's just an autistic teenager. ok. also the animation broke me when nanako gets kidnapped he sounds fucking distraught there. love when people delve into yu's issues also bc hes a bit fucked up but Man. ouch. just like me fr tho
i love yosuke in a similar way to why I like junpei because he's kind of a loser /pos snd has some insane issues that his shadow delves into that are Kind of Insane for the FIRST shadow of the game. like ok damn. i really do love his social link in general tho his was the first one I maxed out in my (unfinished because i didn't want to finish it) p4g playthrough so!!!!! many things wrong with him and also the lgbt community has forgiven yosuke hanamura. also similarly to junpei he's adhd as hell. souyo ftw
naotos probably my fav p4 character I think which is Pretty Painful Sometimes. sometimes I need to kill both other persona fans and atlus if ykwim. but anyways i hc him as transmasc for one thing but also if atlus weren't cowards and actually made his story abt rhat it would've hit so hard. his shadow in general is often overlooked apart from that bc what about the part where he talks about being mistreated by others and feeling utterly alone and not allowing himself to act like a kid!!!! it fucks me up!!! he's also super autism btw like god damn. but YEAH point is I love naoto so much and i hate how both some fans and atlus tjemself treat him because his whole arc and shadow had the potential to be super compelling
apart from who i listed above i do like the rest of the IT so much they're such silly friends (i love you chie i love you yukiko i love you kanji i love you rise i love you teddie.). can't think of any SLs off the top of my head that were crazy but I do like daisuke and kou. OH ALSOO the dojimas..... 😢💧😢😢💧 love them
p5 time :3 I'm into it less so than p3 or p4 but Still
yusuke's my favorite p5 character probably. i domt know what it is apart from the common trend of my favs being autistic as hell (see: akihiko and naoto) but he's like. such a fucked up guy. he's traumatized. he loves art. something is deeply wrong with him. obsessed with this gug
i also do like ren/akira, ryuji, futaba, and also mishima (unfortunately. but in my defense there is something deeply wrong with him slash positive). i don't know a lot abt all of p5's confidants but i like iwai I think.... this reminded me I need to make more progress in p5 what the hell. i miss you futaba (i haven't even got to her palace yet im still on kaneshiros LOL)
but YEAH! thank you for asking!!! from the ones I've played my top favs are akihiko + naoto + yusuke respectively so👍👍👍 loved answering this :3 if u have any thoughts on a particular character feel free to ask and ill elaborate :3

I finished P2EP which means I oficially finished all of the existing mainline Persona games at least once!!! 🎉🎉🎉
As usual my ending summary contains spoilers so everything is under the cut:
The ending of the game made me ugly crying, idk why I'm crying though it is because this absolute masterpiece of the game have ended or because Atlus never did a game like that again or because of Tatsuya's fate or because I never be able to experience this series for the first time or just because I finally accomplished my goal of finishing all mainline Persona games. The last time I ugly cried so much was when I finished my first Persona game (P5) and now I'm crying in the same way at the end of last Persona game I played.
What can I say... P2 duology is an absolute masterpiece and I think my favorite Persona & overall Megaten game in general. Even without a need of social links I managed to attached to all characters to the point I literally ugly cried rn at the end
I feel so bad for Tatsuya though that he's just destinied to suffer on the Other Side, the moment he said he had to go back home is when I started crying. Also I think after playing entire P2 duology I think Tatsuya got promoted to my favorite Persona protag, my forever blorbos and absolute babygirls (rn I'm like Akiren who? Sorry but that's the truth haha). Literally, with the amount of trauma and shit he went through during both games he deserves the title of honorary SMT protag imo, cause I think only them suffered as much as Tatsuya
On the other hand, if someone is wondering how the final boss is like on PSP version - at your party lvl 70+ and if you have dark nullifying Personas and aply buffs, then he's laughably easy. I think the whole fight with both stages took me 30 minutes max and I killed Nyarly on my first try lol. I was surprised myself that it took me so fast haha
So yeah... I finished all mainline Persona games but I'm still not 100% done with the series. There are still things left for me like
-Tatsuya's scenario (I'll be starting for a moment)
-P1 Snow Queen Route
-P3P FEMC Route (I'll start it very soon after I'll be 100% done with P2EP so after I'll finish Tatsuya's scenario)
-P3FES The Answer cause I gave that one up when I played FES but I need to know how and why Minato ended up on the door lmaoo
And also Q games but I need to download an emulator for that (and when I'll do, I'll probably play SMT IV and IVA first anyways as I'm much more curious about that ones in terms of 3DS games). Idk if I'll ever play Persona Dancing games because I don't really like that type of games and they aren't canon anyways, well maybe P4D if any for Specialist remix & new character haha
So yeah, I finished my main goal for now (to play every mainline Persona game at least once) but as you can see there is still so much need to be done haha

already gave my thoughts on it on stream but here we go. uhh, yeah touhou 19 sure is a phantasmagoria game.
it was a bit disappointing that there wasn’t anything new besides what was shown in the announcement. which.. sounds kinda weird now that im writing it but idk, they could’ve not shown the available roster to keep it a surprise for the demo at least. but also maybe im too used to the experience of getting 3 new characters right off the bat.
i like the new changes to the gameplay, particulary that you can now hold down Z (!!!) instead of getting carpal tunnel. and bombs are back. there’s also something going on with the way the battles play out, like you gotta wait for the AI to do some special spell card attack to beat ‘em? if there’s some way to trigger it that i didn’t get because, japanese, then sure, very welcome change to make the fights more snappy. if that spell card happens whenever the AI feels like it then, it’s still pretty much waiting for the AI to fuck up which is, the main reason i dont like phantasmagoria games. there’s just no clear indication of when you’re doing things right, or rather no way to do things right.
graphically the game looks amazing, following in the same style of UM. everything just pops out and is so full of color. ZUN has gotten increasingly better at art, im a really big fan of this new style. also goddamn the new boss sprites look so good i love them, kinda reminds me of the sprites from Gouyoku Ibun (i did hear it was a Twilight Frontier artist who did them so, checks out)
i didn’t really expect a lot of music, but what is there is nice. reimu and marisa got new themes which... honestly it’s gonna be pretty hard to replace the ones we already know but, good attempt. i don’t know why they act as regular stage themes too? like they can replace the ones from other characters, i don’t know what’s up with that. also aunn has an arrangement of her theme, while seiran and nazrin have arrangements of the stage theme where they appear, which i found a bit weird. they’re all pretty good tho, nazrin’s i found to be a bit weak? i think i honestly prefer the UFO version of that one but, it’s fine.
anyways, pretty good demo. some bugs here and there which is, to be expected. and p1 is set to gamepad by default which makes sense but uh, no. i can’t talk about the plot because no tl but i kinda doubt there’s gonna be much of that with this few characters. again i wish there could’ve been at least one new face to talk about but, guess we’ll have to wait until the full release for that.

Something I’ve never been able to understand is the full-on hatred toward the calendar and social link systems in “modern” persona games. I always thought the calendar set up was really fun because I don’t play any other games that use a feature like that, and I have fun fucking with time management (and making fun of myself when that bites me in the ass because i spent nights doing joke activities instead of important stuff). And I get that maybe social links cause the in-plot character development to come up short, but I don’t think that’s an issue with the concept itself because (imo) Persona 3 did it really well in the sense that the characters all had full and complete arcs outside their SL. I think there’s definitely issue with linking the second awakening to their SL like in 4 and 5, but the SL system was really fun and gave another replayability factor to experience them all if you couldn’t get them in time the first run.

Rating every 3D Legend of Zelda sneaking level on a scale of 1 to 10
(Excluding the trials in Skyward Sword, while it is kind of sneaking, it’s also not)
Ocarina of Time (Soldiers) 
Tumblr media
6/10 It’s the first sneaking level, but it’s ridiculously easy. Early in the game which makes it fun. A classic, but we can do better. Logically, why the heck do they not kick him off that palace grounds? Funny as hell.
Ocarina of Time (Gerudo’s Hideout)
Tumblr media
8/10 Mega fun, although pretty easy. The fact that they don’t kill you when you escape the second time. Hilarious having to save some simps from their own lazy stupidity. Sexy lady alone is worth +10. 
Majora’s Mask (Deku Palace)
Tumblr media
7/10 “Okay you fucked up this time, but you can still go in as long as you super promise not to go left or right” It’s actually kind of challenging, but in an annoying way. DekuLink taking a dive with a french horn and then sneakily trying to play a fucking horn, iconic
Majora’s Mask (Pirate’s Fortress) 
Tumblr media
10/10 We love some dumbass sapphics. Lets steal some fuckin eggs so we can maybe get a treasure from the middle of a hurricane. Yass ladies! Pass around that braincell!! Complex sneaking with lots of layers, perfection.
Wind Waker (Forsaken Fortress p1) 
Tumblr media
20/10 What the fuck! “Whoops we launched you too hard against a wall and your sword went flying” Girl what! When you get caught you get set on fire. Thicc booty boys shaking their ass and sniffing the ground. Early in game, not frustrating, surreal as fuck. 
Wind Waker (Forsaken Fortress p2) 
Tumblr media
5/10 Not as wild as the first, but still solid. Thicc booty boys return, but this time you can eat their ass. Music is sick. You smash a bird’s skull with a hammer and save your sister. 
Twilight Princess (Arbiter’s Ground)
Tumblr media
1/10 Total shit and barely sneaking, BUT you do ride a cow through a burning building so get your clicks
Skyward Sword (Volcano Eruption) 
Tumblr media
9/10 Not sure I buy the premise and it’s WAY too late in the game, but when you get caught they smash the fuck out of you with a catapult. Idk, It’s good sneaking.
Breath of the Wild (Akkala Tower)
Tumblr media
0/10 Fuck you, fuck this tower, fuck my hopes and dreams. It could have been so much more and it was NOTHING. 
Breath of the Wild (Yiga Hideout) 
Tumblr media
4/10 The only game with actual sneak mechanics and this is all they came up with. Fun, yes. Boring, yes. Redeemed only by banana dance. 
Breath of the Wild (Bonus: getting the electric arrows from the lynel)
Tumblr media
10/10 Overdramatic, did not have to code this into the game. Fun. Stressful. Weird af. Why the fuck would the zora people troll Link like this?? Everyone else just gives you what you need but Sidon makes you steal arrows from a murder centaur.

a smol sibling.,
w/ xiao, kaeya, & venti
Tumblr media
— • request from anon : being the trio’s younger sibling! (separately)
xiao p1 || kaeya p1 || gn ! sibling ! reader || headcanon format || 1.5k words
Tumblr media
; masterlist.,
; a / n - i’ve done xiao and kaeya before, but i had some more ideas so i’m making some more! links above if you’d like to read the others <3
Tumblr media
xiao .,
• the other hcs i made for him where general, but here anon specified a younger sibling, so i’ll do that!
• he’s that sibling who’ll pretend ur the most annoying thing on the planet but would do anything for u so much as you ask
• “xiao when u come back could i have some glaze lilies” “get them yourself im the vigilant yaksha not a flower picker🙄” mhm then why did u literally wipe out qingce village’s flower population hm xiao 🤨
• teaches u how to fight!! but he’s not teaching he’s “helping you discover things yourself so you can be a functional person”
• it takes way too much effort to get this man to admit he loves you but you know it as much as he does so it’s okay <3
• cloud retainer has so much dirt on him it’s crazy. if you ever need some blackmail material head over to hers. also you can find some embarassing pictures she’s got a heckton
• verr goldet takes care of u a lot too, xiao’s a great brother and all but he lacks in this department called self care
• idk if you’re mortal or adeptus or half adeptus but if you need to eat and do basic body functions he does not got u covered
• mans would try to raise u on almond tofu until verr goldet bought out a food pyramid and explained about these things called nutrients 
• he also doesn’t understand how important sleep is so,,, “xiao i’m gonna stay up” “yeah sure whatever” passing out two days later “y/N WHAT’S WRONG-”
• yeah verr goldet and the innkeeper guy give him a guide to basic survival talk and all through it he’s glaring at you like why did you never tell me you needed human things to live >:( 
• now that he knows you need sleep, he makes u sleep at 8 pm every night like a grandpa!! good luck trying to get him to stop!!
• are these getting too guardian-like and less sibling-like??? 😭 but that’s the vibes he gives yk!! ur over protective adeptus parent-brother who has no clue how u work but wants to try to understand a little
• in the game u can tell how much more open he gets wit the traveller as friendship levels progress, and if you’ve maxed it out he’d basically do anything for you and would want you to trouble him than yourself
• and he’ll probably be closer with you than he’ll ever be with traveller since you’re siblings and whatnot, so it would make sense that he looks out for you more than your typical older brother yk
• plays the flute for you!! if he hears u humming a tune under your breath he’ll find it and learn it to play for u 
• he may not fully understand how relationships work but he’s trying his best for u <3
Tumblr media
 kaeya .,
• my other kaeya hcs were in relation to you being close / living with diluc, but these will be more general and central towards kaeya!
• kaeya fits literally every older brother trope that exists. the brother who’s always got ur back? you got it. the brother who keeps secrets you don’t know about from you? heck yeah. the annoying brother who makes u do his chores for him? maybe a little too much.
• pls he (lovingly) shoves all of his small tasks onto u it’s infuriating but you can’t even say no bc then he gets all dramatic 
• “y/n 😩 you’re abandonning your dear brother like this 😩 how could you 😩 i didn’t know you were so cruel 😩” sir shut up <3
• since he’s a people person everyone knows u very well too, heck all the senior citizens probably voted u as second best in law after him or smth idk man 
• hanging out with best boy bennett!! he canonically sees kaeya as an older brother too so y’all def go on little adventures together <3
• ur one of the only people who have ever looked under his eyepatch, diluc and crepus being the only other two
• sometimes he forgets to take it off when he goes to bed and it leaves a bruise bc it’s pretty tight, so he let’s you change it for him 
• “i can do this myself, you know” well he can but you both know he likes it better when you’re there
• does not allow your closet to be anything less than exquisite, you’ve got a bunch of scarfs like his whether you like it for not
• makes u buy his wine from diluc for him bc every time he goes to the tavern diluc raises the price tenfold just for him
• he’s that sibling who will rile you up on purpose just for the fun of it. i have a cousin who used to do that when he was younger and it was annoying but he still adores me sm so i don’t mind <3
• besides even if he does get on ur nerves amber’s got ur back- you can rant to her about him for hours on end and she’ll add with her experiences with kaeya’s bullying
• what are siblings if not for sibling rivalry, yes he picks on u constantly but he also picks u up when you’re feeling low <3
Tumblr media
venti .,
• oh my gods he would be sO FUN
• the two of you are the bane of diluc’s existence, venti loops u into his winery pilfering plans a lot 
• venti pulls the archon card if the two of you get caught by him idk what excuse you’ve got but it better be good 😭
• no way the god of wind and song’s sibling doesn’t love music- even if you’re tone deaf, or hard of hearing, music is about the pleasure it brings and he’ll bring it to you
• you guys go wind gliding a lot of the time too!! y’all don’t even need gliders you’ve got the power of anemo 😎
• he’s that cool brother who’s only rule is that you do whatever you want to do, life is too short for regrets so live in the moment and be spontaneous!
• even though he’s older he seems much younger than you at heart 😭 will wine if you don’t do something for him it’s hilarious
• you’ve got other things to do and he’s just “but hanging out!!!” and ur like “but work!!!” 
• it’s very hard to be productive with him around, he will distract u with something as mundane as an apple- it’s not his fault tho bb just has a poor attention span 😭 
• he’s very clingy, if you’re together he’ll link your elbows like everyone did in sixth grade, and in turn u can kick him in the kneecaps when he does stupid things
• he’s the ceo of stupid things so u get to kick him a lot, it’s a mutal symbiotic relationship we love to see it <33
• my brain is dead and i can’t english rn but. his vibes yk he’s so fun to be around, he gives out surprisingly killer advice too
• i have this man’s teapot lines plastered on my wall bc they help me deal with stuff, so if you’re ever down you can always, always, always go to him and he’ll have the exact things to say
• if it’s words, he has them, if it’s silence you need he’ll lend you his shoulder; but there was never an instance he doesn’t leave you better than before
• you haven’t seen his archon side a lot, since he doesn’t show it all that much, but it’s so far from venti it’s a little scary; but in a sort of admiring way yk
• you guys visit zhongli sometimes, and it’s a free real estate for blackmail material bc of how terrified venti is of him
• zhongli is like that long lost uncle who visits once a year, and you’re his favorite child so he gives you candy and picks on venti for not taking good enough care of you
• “i’m their sibling not their parent” “you’re older have some responsibility >:(”
• if you ever get drunk he will hear about it and will come all the way from liyue to i will have order venti’s head, regardless of whether he was the cause of you being drunk or not
• that about wraps it up! im sure i could think of more but my brain is sorta dead rn so this will have to suffice 😭 i can’t think of a closing statement sO i hope u enjoyed!! bye bye!! <3

Hello 💜 I might have been spamming you a bit with the likes but I really do enjoy your meta💜 I also wanted to mention that I really do like the way Reko says she wants to reach out to Shin if you go Reko/Sou route? Gin and Reko being worried about him (w/ Gin likely feeling guilt for having voted for Kanna) was pretty sweet, especially with him treating Gin nicely in general and Reko having tried to get him open up early into 2-2 Main Game too? I don't think that route will end well but (p1)
(p2) I would honestly dig Reko and Shin being on friendly terms if the cast made out, especially with how Alice/Kanna route has Alice ending up being a big bro protector figure to Kanna, while Reko the only adult Shin has yet to be betrayed by that's alive and had the sense to vote for him than Kanna is the younger sister who plays big sis to a good deal of the cast. It's just an interesting thing actually, that how dysfunctional Reko/Sou route vs Alice/Kanna is?
(p3) With former, there is still some awkwardness compared to Reko/Kanna with Reko having already taken a big sisterly role with her, but Alice is more than willing to look out for this child, while with Reko/Sou you can see that Reko genuinely feels bad for him and wants to amend things, yet Kanna's death really was the last straw for Shin that at best she is going to get Shin not looking out for chances to actively harm her (or Gin) while they might be collateral damage anyway.
Part idk bc I forgot to mention: I like how his "I-I wouldn't leave you behind..." to Gin right after they visit Gashu's secret room sounds like he is hurt that he would think he would leave a primary schooler back if he found an escape path too, especially with him in ch 1 saying Gin should rest with him and Kanna and likely having planned to look out for him too, if Gin wouldn't have said he gives him weird vibes and stuck to Sara. And offers him snacks to leave him work in Nao's room gfkfg
Okay I swear last part but I forgot to mention that I also like that Gin says he hates loner but doesn't want him to die/says he feels sorry for him for smelling gloomy and he is actually one of the members who while saying he hates him in 2-2 Main Game, he also does get worried for the "outsider" types, saying he is worried they might not get enough clear chips? That said wow bullied by a primary schooler rip Shin
Hello there! I really enjoy your meta too! 💜
I absolutely love this ask. You wrote so much, so I wish I could think of interesting things to say, but all I want to say is “I love Shin’s relationships with Gin and Reko too!! I love them so much!!”
I suppose, in a way, Gin and Reko act as a barometer for how a “normal, decent person” would react to Shin. They are suspicious of him and sympathetic towards him at all the right moments in the narrative. They are neither as cynical as Keiji nor as optimistic as Kanna. But they are hilarious and I love that for them!
Like, you just mentioned all these genuinely sweet moments for them. But if I can pull up some contentious memories:
REKO: I'm gonna take that bastard out, I swear...!!
GIN: I bet he's just hiding under the bed in his room or something, woof!!
REKO: Perfect spot for a treacherous ass like him! Let's check it out!
This comes from the beginning of Chapter 2 when the whole team is on a witch hunt for Shin, and I just! I love how eager and aggressive they are in their pursuit of justice, oh my god haha. I love how well they both team up against him. It’s such fantastic dark humor.
Then I love how you can tell from Nankidai’s writing that Reko aggressively shakes Shin when they finally find him!
KANNA: What in the world happened?
SOU: Eh...? / T... That's what I wanna know... / Where is this place... When did I get here...?
REKO: Cram it, you bastard...! Like hell anybody's gonna worry about you now! / What're you plotting?! Tell me!
SOU: W... Waugh?! Hold on...!
KEIJI: Now, now. Violence isn't the answer, Reko.
REKO: Tch...!!
SOU: W... What is it...? You're so mean suddenly...
Featuring a bonus obnoxious “Now now” from Keiji, LMAO get a load of this filthy hypocrite.
I just love to imagine Reko grabbing Shin by the scarf and shaking him! Nankidai blesses us with the wackiest scenarios.
Also remember when Gin wanted to scribble on Shin’s doll??
GIN: Let’s scribble on the loner’s doll, meow!
SARA: Gin…
CHOICE: Don’t get us caught
SARA: Safalin will find out. Don’t touch them.
GIN: Meow! You’ll live to see another day, loner!
And they always call him “Beanie Man” and “Loner” instead of his name… They crack me up so much!! I could go on and on about them!
Anyway, the only reason I bring up these contentious moments is to highlight how sweet it is that they don’t actually hate Shin at all. As you pointed out, they end up sympathizing a lot with him! If Shin was just being his regular vulnerable self, they would probably be protective of him. (And just a little bit teasing!) I think that speaks very well for both Reko and Gin. It shows what genuine good souls they are.
I also love that you pointed to examples of Shin being protective of Gin! It’s lovely to imagine that if Shin hadn’t taken on the Sou persona, we could have seen more “big brother Shin” moments like that! Personally, I’m very fond of imagining Shin as a good big brother figure towards all three children in the Simulations. I want to think, in his true heart, Shin is someone who couldn’t stand to see the children die before him.
That makes it all the more tragic if they end up becoming collateral damage for Shin’s revenge. :(
I also love to imagine that they could become friends if Shin lived, and if things worked out just a little bit better. I don’t believe Shin actively hates them. Reko voted for him, and he would just hate Sara more for “tricking” Gin into helping to murder Kanna. I don’t know if Shin…wants to live anymore…in the route where Kanna dies… But if they managed to escape, I think Reko and Gin would both worry a lot about him! And they would want to help him. I’m certain!
Thanks for sharing your thoughts with me. I’m a huge, huge fan of the loner’s relationships with the rock star and the furry kid. Seeing fan art or fanfiction of them being actual friends gets straight to my heart.

Idk I thought you might find this story funny because I don’t know who else to share it with but my toxic pathologic fan trait is that for some reason I memorized and kept track of the ages of every character when I played the game WHILE being a huge Isidor fan (I think his pre P2 corruption “beloved golden child destined to lead everyone and gifted with natural charisma who grows up to betray and exploit everyone who trusted him to protect them” is very interesting and fun. It’s like if Big Boss’s interpretation of the Boss’s words were right and she was just insane) so I am constantly plagued by amazing pre-game fics being suddenly interrupted by Olgimsky, Victor, Saburov, Mark, etc. being inexplicably 20-30 years older than they are in canon. I’m so sorry smut writers but Saburov could not attend sexy-20-some Isidor’s orgy because he wouldn’t have been BORN YET (none of this is a serious gripe I just think that this is something only I notice and therefore am distracted by is extremely funny)
a lot of ages in p1 specifically make no damn sense (rubin 23? willow mellow 15-17? for that last one someone in that team is going to jail) but considering isidor and vlad sr's sons are of the same age-ish and vlad sr & saburov are 6 yrs apart (50yo [stated in text] & 44yo [stated in archived vk] respectively) we can guess the age difference between isidor & saburov is not that big in the grand scheme of things/at the time of isidor's death [it would have been substantial when they were younger but that's how age differences go]. but also simon was anywhere from 77 to 150+ so who knows out there. isidor could have been 700.
to be fair none of that is something i'd particularly think about outside of the very specific context of apparently reading saburov/isidor/others orgy fics which is not something anyone could waterboard the admission of out of me if i did such a thing but i guess someone has to & it won't be me so. love and light to you 👍

hyoutei vs rikkai p1 rant / liveblog-ish
aaAAAAAAaaaAAAAAA
im a biased Rikkai fan so ngl im disappointed that the way it’s set up so far it looked like Hyoutei is gonna win... (what with all the flashbacks and portraying it from Atobe’s POV) 
but! the succession element is very strong here and it seems like Hiyoshi, Ohtori, and Kabaji are definitely growing into the leadership role more than Kirihara (Yukimura hasn’t relinquished the captaincy yet?) so... far enough I guess. Are they... trying to retcon Tamagawa in or something? But still, why tf would you have him play his debut match here? 
Jackal’s line about Rikkai no longer being invincible - ouch :( I guess that’s why it doesn’t feel as OOC for Rikkai to mix up their line up here? throwing caution to the wind and taking risks to evolve - a Hail Mary move, but better than risking defeat.
although hmmm... would atobe really suggest a match he can’t win? would yukimura really accept a match he can’t win? (idk what im trying to say)
Jackal giving up his doubles spot to Tamagawa // Yanagi giving up his U17 spot to Kirihara? 
...why does it feel like Rikkai D2 has never played together in this combo before lol 
but yeah it feels more realistic that OshiGaku would win
HOLY F*CK WHATTTTTTT
someone animated my tenipuri otp playing doubles? 🥺🥺 
🥺🥺 <-- me throughout the sanayana d1 match...
maybe I remembered Rikkai as being more OP than they are but... 2/3 of the Rikkai troika winning 6-4 against Ohtori and Kabaji? was pretty impressed by Ohtori’s game-making but kinda wanted to see Yanagi doing the same (cause if he could control Devil Akaya why not Sanada?)... and im not sure why Yanagi was surprised at Kabaji copying them? (’data being rewritten’) or maybe it’s more that he didn’t expect the speed and accuracy of the copying coupled with Ohtori’s leading / supporting 
omg sanayana used the same trick that yanakiri did in the nationals d2 🥺🥺
lmao my bias is showing so hard here but... finally yanagi has one match that he actually wins lol
okay. there is no heterosexual explanation for S3 that was actually a doubles match in disguise
wHERE IS NIOU
did I miss something but where Is He??? did he leave Rikkai post-U17??? what??
(was secretly waiting to see if Yagyuu was Niou illusioned the whole time)
yeah okay with S3 portraying Shishido so sympathetically (although Yagyuu is an asshole) it’s pretty obvious Hyoutei’s gonna win aren’t they :<<
hmmmmmmmMMMMMmMMM
okay but hyoutei second years working together as a team! aaaaa Hiyoshi and Ohtori making decisions and valuing Kabaji’s input!
and also gratuitous shots of my Rikkai troika 🥺🥺
