#fine this can go in the main tags

[flamerunn3r]

Sorry this is unfinished but I need to post these now just bc idfk when i'm gonna actually finish the rest realistically. Idk it will happen eventually. For now heres the great p5u ramblings post detailing my thoughts designs

This is my own personal interpretations but is also somewhat speculative in nature. I'm mostly trying to deal in already established characterizations and epilogue set ups but there might be stuff I've missed or forgotten (i also haven't played dancing yet sorry if there's something in there I hadn't accounted for). This is kind of like if I took the creative reigns on the story where I'd continue for it. Only the investigation team for now (and 2 boss characters I have an idea for) but maybe I'll do the shadow ops at some point. Only 4 characters for now but I'll reblog with additions when I finish the rest or if I edit any of these

Yu Narukami

He's currently attending school as a journalism student in the city or just starting out as one. Enthusiastic about his field but still tries to find the time to keep up with his friends and visit Inaba on his holidays. I felt journalism made alot of sense for him with the themes of persona 4. I liked the sport jacket and turtleneck but wanted soemthing different so the scarf was chosen to keep the same kind of silhouette. I made the collar on the winter coat large and I feel like Narukami's large uniform collar is a key part of his design. and I wanted to call back to that in his casual outfit. The summer outfit I mostly kept close to his summer outfit from p4. I'm kind of unsure on it though I might come back to it. I mostly wanted to keep his outfits smart and simple. For his meta verse outfit I really wanted to go all out with the bancho (kingpin) stuff and other delinquent tropes. I lengthened the uniform coat a little because I wanted it to look like a tokko-fuku. Alot of smaller detail inspiration was taken from Izanagi. The lenses in the mask are supposed to mimic glasses. I'd imagine he'd take off the mask the same way he throws off his glasses in myriad truths.

Teddie

I can't imagine him leaving Inaba and the TV world behind. Still staying in town and working largely the same job. He's got his own place now albeit small (still a step up from the closet though). At some point the IT asked Mitsuru to pull some strings so he actually has a legal personhood now. The animal hoodie is something that came to me spontaneously but I knew I needed to include it. I really that his normal outfit in 4 keeps the white and red of the bear costume in the outfit so I tried to keep the colour scheme here too. Most of his later outfits are less flashy and more casual so I tried to continue that trend. I didn't want to lose the rose from the corsage completely so I included a rose pattern in the second shirt. Alot of his outfits feature light blue so I wanted that in at least one outfit. I considered making the hoodie light blue initially. I don't think he'd have a metaverse outfit he'd just use the bear costume.

Naoto Shirogane

I'm under the assumption Naoto is still presenting masculinely to the general public as of p5 but I may be mistaken in this. If I'm wrong I'd still probably largely keep the outfits similar to this. Naoto's still working as a detective and I don't think that's ever really going to change. One thing that a hypothetical p5u would have to address is what Naoto and the shadow ops would have been doing during the events of persona 5 and I unfortunately do not have any ideas for what that would be at the moment.

I feel alot of the appeal of Naoto's design is the kind of boy detective fashion. I went at this design with the intention of kind of refining that into something a little more adult while still keeping in a similar vein. I did have to ditch the pageboy hat unfortunately as I felt it made them look too young. These outfits were kind of design as pseudo work clothes which is why I tried to make them a bit more formal then the other characters. Something I consider notable about Naoto's design but deliberately avoided here was the rolled up pant legs. It's very obvious in 4 it's done because Naoto is short but I feel like Naoto would start getting that either custom made or tailored to fit. I was initially going to forgo the blazer on the summer outfit but the design felt empty without it. Naoto having a noir detective themed metaverse outfit is an idea I'd had for years but I tried to incorporate design elements that were princely. I alot of the inspiration was from Sam Spade specifically. Deliberately made similarities to Akechi's white crow design. The band around the hat is supposed to invoke the similar one on the old page boy hat.

Yukiko Amagi

Still working at her families in but is taking online courses during the off seasons. She's mostly happy where she is but is keeping her options open. Occasionally makes visits to other ryokans out of town for ideas for her families own inn, as well as an opportunity to for her to sight see.

The headband was included in her design in p4 as a like retro design thing but I find it too important of a marker of her design to remove it. I understand the why they went with the hairstyle they did for her golden epilogue but I feel it just ends up making her look way older then she is. I thought her having her hair up would be a nice change since she does it so rarely and settled on a ponytail. Tried changing the bangs but the ones she already had just felt right. I wanted her clothes to carry this kind of air of sophistication so I tried to keep them relatively simple and sleek. She's wearing pants in the winter outfit but I chose the longer coat to keep a similar skirt silhouette. The choker was largely inspired by the scarf she has in her winter outfit. Despite being a different colour the cardigan was also chosen to tie back somewhat to the sweater she wears with her school uniform.

In some side material it's mentioned that Yukiko has an interest in western fashion and aesthetics (part of what made the castle manifest the way it did) and I wanted to lean on that in some way for her metaverse design. I ended up going with a masquerade ball theme. I tried to keep the dress to something simple and easy to move in. The gloves and boots take inspiration from her persona in terms of design and size. I wanted to incorporate elements from her work kimono as well hence the ribbon around the torso and flower patterning. Probably the most unsure of this one of the metaverse designs so far. Especially the colours (considered making the reds pinks initially). Might revisit this one.

Ok that's all I have for now I'll probably do Rise's next 👍👍👍

#sorry these are of wildly varying quality i did them at completely disconnected times #i guess feel free to critique my ideas if you want but be nice pleaseeeeee #persona 4 #fine this can go in the main tags #also this took like 3 days to type up. i just proofread it but if theres something that makes no sense then oops my bad #ul

i'm so so sorry to the people that didn't get to see saltburn in theaters because imo it was truly the best way to watch it

feeding off of the energy of all the other people in a packed theater, it feels SO much more voyeuristic with strangers sitting right next to you in a dark room with all your senses heightened, the soft gasps, the shocked laughs, people mumbling "what the fuck" to their movie partner next to them under their breath, i cannot describe the high i got off of seeing it in theaters

the genuine goosebumps i had from the soundtrack in surround sound, from rosamund's gut-wrenching scream, it is just not the same at home

i feel like if you didn't see it in theaters, it's not fair to give it a terrible review because it is really a completely different experience

#saltburn #saltburn 2023 #genuinely i don't think you can get the same thing out of it just from streaming it #and i don't know if i would be as madly and completely obsessed if i didn't see it in person #it is the greatest movie theater experience i've ever had #tomorrow is the official for real last day in theaters and i'm going to miss it so much #there's so many bad takes i'm seeing in the main tag that i think would be fixed if you saw it in theaters idk #but also i really don't want to debate with people how good i think it is if you disagree with me you can just block me it's fine

I've been wanting to do this for awhile

Here are ALL of Killers cats (as of chp 16) from @lady-of-disdain s Killer x reader fic Poor Little Meow Meow

#my art #my utmv art #cats #utmv #killer sans #Can i tag that since he isnt actually here??? #his cats are so i think its fine #this man has 9 cats! #I am a huge fan of fics with animals as a main theme in them so i really like this story #no spoliers but the second most recent update made me feel things #I was going to do Luka and Biscuits aswell for a lil bonus but photoshop crashed so i think thats a sign to stop for now #hoping i did the kitties justice!

[iwritenarrativesandstuff]

Feeling a certain way about that latest bsd interview concerning Akutagawa and the treatment he suffered

(that way is bad.)

#I was concerned about this kind of thing tbh trying to think of how this whole dynamic could narratively go forward #I’m not encouraged that he’ll ever be called out now. #listen. the orphanage director thing I was fine with. It’s fine to cry over someone who hurt you #it’s fine to have learned things from abusers. guy was the only ‘parental’ figure atsushi ever had even if he sucked #and that it was dazai saying all this introduces a layer of uncertainty also #was uncomfortable with aya having ‘learned’ from her abusive father (but you know fair I guess we still pick up on #and recall things in stressful moments. you can still learn from people who treat you horribly and it doesn’t mean you owe them shit) #but this makes me very uneasy and I’m uh. not happy. if this shit keeps up I just. :/ #won’t main tag this rn #storyrambles

hiatus notice!

It's been a long time!! We are both well, but life has been collectively kicking both our asses a little bit, and the prospect of picking up and running the blog as consistently as we used to is feeling kind of daunting as a result. So we're going to step back for a little while and work on some other stuff while we clear our heads, and come back later ready to continue.

(how much later? unsure! But hopefully not long, we still both care a lot about the blog and its story. This isn't the last you'll see of it by a long shot :))

Additionally, both mods have both moved main blogs over the past few months- you can now find us instead at @alien-shmalien and @creaturelytracker.

Take care!!

#i (tracker) should also apologise for. um. disappearing for like the whole of august and september and most of october #i am no longer insanely depressed like i was but other stuff is still grating on me hence the continued break #and My problems are relatively tame in comparison to what dox has going on!!! so!!! this was just better for both of us #than being guilty and hemming and hawing over when we're gonna start the blog up again yknow #but we will be back.. eventually..... #(mod dox here) HI shits been insanely hectic and tracker is back so i think. we just need. a little bit of a break. #i am personally working on a webcomic ish thing so if you enjoy our stuff you can check us out there (you can find a link to it on main) #(as for what tracker is mentioning in the tags. i um. got disowned <3 lmAO im totally fine but its stressful yaknow?) #ooc

[nicastamatis]

ao3 needs to implement a feature where you aren't allowed to tag a female character unless you first pass a quiz about her role in the story. either this or i start attacking astarion/tav writers in the street.

#meposting #bg3 #this is like months old in the drafts but iirc this was about #going through the e-rated shadowheart tag and there was NOTHINGGGGG that was actually about her #you donot have to tag every character who breathes in the story. its ok. you can just do the main ones thats fine. #consider tags such as 'baldurs gate 3 party' or perhaps 'baldurs gate 3 ensemble cast'

i found the lifesteal fanfiction (my ace ass still can't comprehend relationships and how they form lmfao i'm living in some wild qpr fantasy of my own creation)

#this is all /lh btw #i'm not gonna main tag this #the handwriting next to clown and branzy reads “them in the streams” btw #for some context i read two banger ass (unfinished) fics that had some flavor of clownzy thrown in there #and they just started busting out the shameless flirting n stuff and i was like “WHERE'S THE DRAMA???? WHERE'S THE BUILDUP???????” #and then i rewatched the s3 videos and realized oh this is exactly what happened actually lmfao #anyway i'm perpetually two seconds away from going “fine i'll do it myself” but the only thing holding me back from exploding is- #-the fact that i'll make this huge ass interconnected timeline and character dynamic and then when it comes time to the actual writing i'll #-just never get anything written #the clownzy bit is the funniest thing i've ever seen btw #the jester's art #the jester's sketch #if you guys want links to the fics i found i can throw them in the comments i have not stopped thinking about them since i read them

[dapperrokyuu]

I really do need to talk about how I feel Luka, Mizi, and potentially Ivan are genetically engineered in some form, sjfkskckwk-

#dee p thoughts #like theres been imagery here and there but its like. time and energy nscjdjckd- #and the whole point is that theyre kind of like. show dogs cjsjfjsjdkw #mizi is the most blatant as much as they may try to pass her off as main character syndrome she had pink hair as a kid and the blue was dyed #on AS AN ADULT... #I will never get over how theres CURRENTLY a section/advertisement on the official alnst website for the ''Human Multi-shop'' saying #''Choose whatever you like.'' under a picture with dna on it AND UNDER IT IS LUKA... #fine this can go in the tag #alien stage #vivinos #alnst

this is my personal opinion on eddie’s character and you have been warned… it’s not a flattering one so if you love eddie don’t keep reading bc well you are probably not gonna like what i have to say under the cut

okay then…

gotta get something out of my chest: eddie is a boring, flat, and edging on obnoxious character that mostly has the pretty privilege going on for him which is just another standard white guy. yes, i teared up when his death scene came… because how it affected dustin. otherwise, couldn’t care less about him and his on the nose “i always run away/didnt run away this time” conflict

“oh, but eddie is a freak and treated as such, even hunted down and bullied. people can resonate with that” i mean… fine if you do, really, but also what about the Party? they are considered freaks, they are bullied, will even expresses even his closed ones make him feel like a freak. why about el? she was a freak too, the weirdo, the lab experiment that was hunted down and tortured. what about jonathan? he was the freak that probably killed his little brother in season one. we have seasons of these characters, characters who actually have depth to them with interesting conflicts and dynamics. and most importantly, characters who are freaks but that see each others as equals.

eddie? sure he’s a freak. a freak who likes to bee in power, sitting on his throne during DND sessions whit his group of sheep wearing all the same tees as if it was an uniform, going out of his way to jump on tables and yell in people’s faces bc he is not like other girls he is proud to be a freak and oppose to the status quo.

i mean, give me a break.

#adding to the tags how people went against jonathan for smoking weed as a coping mechanism but it’s all cool and cute when eddie sells weed #lmao #tell me again how all eddie has going on for him isn’t just pretty privilege? #i was just talking about this with someone but i didn’t use to dislike eddie i was indifferent about him bc there’s just not a lot of him #but his stans and the way he is portraiyed in the fandom just irks me at this point #can’t bag all of his stans in a same place but you know most i’ve seen are just… #if you like eddie fine. if he is your fav character… fine though i will forever believe you are part of the GA #if you are part of the group that will get mad and attack the duffers when eddie stays dead in s5 then i just wanna say #you don’t care about the plot of the show or the true main characters of the show you seem to only care about a flat character because you #probably either think he is hot or because you ship him with that other rather flat character on st #anyhow #this is a personal rant and if you don’t like it you can keep scrolling i guess #nic rants to the internet

FUCK MY LIFE. IM SO PISSED. LISTENNNN GEGE. I dont give a shiiiiiiiiiit about kenjaku vs gojo. I wanttttttttt yuuji (and choso) vs kenjaku. This is what makes sense. This could be THAT battle. Something we will always remember when we think back. What do you meeeeeeeeeeean its gojo vs kenjaku? THIS MEANS NOTHING. (guess it means something, a little bit, to satosugu fans) but it will never reach the fucking drama and EMOTION that yuuji vs kenjaku could be. We are talking about yuuji, kenjaku’s son, possibly the only son he cares about. The son he 100% wants to make as another vessel to a creature stronger than sukuna. The son he made as a CAGE (are we gonna find out why??) or whatever the fuck he plans to do.  Why are you fumbling so bad??? Gojo vs kenjaku will be boring af because kenjaku has 0% chances to win. The romance is cute and all but I need more. I do not care for it. 

#jujutsu kaisen #jjk #kenjaku #yuuji itadori #gojo satoru #look im sorry for geto and all #actually im not but anyway #can we get on with what actually matters #jjk is a family drama first of all #plus gojo vs kenjaku is going to be BORING AF #idk if ppl read tags BUT #the geto gojo thing is over this is a solved matter #geto is dead and its sad but thats how it is #i do agree that gojo didnt move on but listen #we can make this like a side quest #a side plot line #thats fine #but it should not be a MAIN plot line #the thing with yuuji and kenjaku is what HAPPENS NOW #this is the present #and i do agree that yuuji cannot fight against sukuna #he will lose #no matter what #but i do not think sukuna is yuuji's nemesis #its actually kenjaku #he does hate sukuna and i do think their relationship is really interesting as two opposites #but he has no chance against sukuna and i dont want yuuji to become the op protag #so theres no point in making him fight both of them #buttttt i dont think gege is stupid enough to get rid of kenny that easy so #i doubt kenny is going to fight gojo

I'd say sorry that this is the first Jasper I pop out after so long of nothing but we all know I'm not

#literally the FIRST classpect that popped to mind #and the one that initiated my crazed classpecting #im almost a lil sad that i couldnt give him and hendrik opposite aspects #but its fine hendrik and sylv ended up being opposites abdjnd #(stalling the fact i gotta tag the main fandom) #sighhs #dqxi #dragon quest xi #dqxi jasper #my art #welp there they go #yall can ask abt the classpects btw lol #im prolly gonna doodle em all

I got extremely sick and watched all of love between fairy and devil in a miserable haze and I've gotta say 1) bodyswapping at its finest 2) with slight tweaks the idiot ball did not need to be passed around so much/at all 3) the fuckup little brother industrial complex still has me in its grasp but this time I've gotta give it up for the shifufucker. they really nailed the miserable oblivion of quasi-incestuous all consuming devotion & that's not even my thing. Good job team!

#press says love story between fairy and devil #spoilers #ok I'm not going to use that #shifufucking #will be the tag for now #main ship cute but tbh I'm mad they tried to tell me she was never into second male lead #she can have had genuine romantic feelings for him and then still chosen the other guy it's FINE I promise #also everyone was passing the idiot ball around for a bit there and it made me extra annoyed because it was mostly such a charming show and #I was very invested! #and why was no one trying to bring the shifu to the goddess to be healed!!! they know she's back! #why didn't the dad try that before he tried treason? #why did wargod 2 leave moon god alone with their triple cultivation seed that is also their girlfriend? #and then with the goddess? it's so out of character #but they really sold me on the shizunfucking! #idk if that should serve as a warning or enticement to habitual shizunfucking enjoyers #i was sitting there unsure if I was queasy because of the relationship or because I was about to throw up again but compelled regardless #the best friends who love each other sincerely but will ultimately always have other priorities also got me but good #and imo really enhanced the shifufucking ship by way of adding to the tragedy of it all #great supporting cast all around! very fun #cw: forced kissing #if that is something you like I am sensitive to #but like. overall a deeply watchable trope fest with some a+ romantic moments #and pretty solid ot3 potential if you #like me #enjoy causing yourself pain by wrongship ping in every possible way

have you seen Break without his coat from the Queen of Hearts Arc?

now you have!

(I had a double take moment when I realized that Break is actually quite Big when he is standing next to Sharon like this; it's just the other men in the series that are taller and bigger than him.

also, realizing Emily was in his pocket all along)

#pandora hearts #xerxes break #retrace lx #may-reads-ph #*pulling a rug over all the angst* this is a fun manga i am completely fine 👍 #i swear i am reading the manga but Break in this arc is just so made-to-be-looked-at that i can't even focus #petition to mochijun to stop making Break look so good so I can actually focus on the story line :D #or rather i will get him off my brain first and then go reread the rest so the main tags will be filled with Break bc of yours truly lmao

well I just finished konya sukiyaki dayo and I am openly weeping with joy

#I question the realism of Tomoko continuing to afford that apartment on her own but if she lived further away it would be sad #bc she'd really be living alone again. Unlike this same building situation where it kinda just feels like one family in two apartments #also we never did get more focus on shinta. It's perfectly fine without it but also c'mon give my guy an episode in the spotlight #I love him #love love LOVE Yuki getting into cooking!!!!!! I hope he and Tomoko start to cook together!!! #lol I hope Aiko never really learns to cook but she's surrounded by her family who can and so never has to #when they're really busy she'll make them onigiri. I imagine it will improve slightly and be a comfort food for Miyu one day #sorry I would've written this all in the main post if I realized I was gonna go on so long. Ah well too late now in the tags it shall stay #konya sukiyaki dayo #I still wonder about my '3 bedroom house' (or now with Miyu in an ideal world 4 but 3 would work) solution... #if that would be a good idea or not
