fully agree that "akira has a palace" and "shadow yu/souji" fics activate the same feral part of my monkey brain lmao, and they often focus on similar ideas as well (lots of joker palace fics will have it be about him putting on facades around people, and i've also seen a couple shadow yu fics where his shadow changes to reflect the person he's talking to). very interesting to see a gameplay feature which is kind of a necessity of the social link system be adapted into a personality trait of the character
hi rage!! thanks for stopping by the inbox- so happy to see a fellow person of taste! 😌 i still need to read more fics of that genre but- they really do have the similar vibe! i remember people talking about how much of a shapeshifter joker is in his differing relationships. and ah!! thats the good shit! having the shadow reflect that kind of tendency too... ALSO VERY GOOD.
there are so many ways in which gameplay mechanics and features can be adapted into fics- and honestly i just really dig it? the vibe of those kinds of fics just really evoke strong memories of playing the games myself, which i love! New Game + AUs / or general timeloop concepts are also some of my favorites... i also like ones that focus on persona usage as well (like personas talking, tapping into character's element affinities and how it manifests, the general exhaustion from awakening a persona/using them, etc.).
ANYWAYS! wishing u a fab day with ur own writing and/or fic reading!! ty again for stopping by the inbox and have a good one!

papyrus ⇢ if you put your ‘on repeat’ playlist on shuffle, what’s the first song that comes up? what do you like about it / associate it with?
twisted palm tree ⇢ do you have a fictional villain you shouldn’t people say you'd like but you feel kinda meh about love regardless? (adjusted because most of your favs are fictional villains that Fandom says you shouldn't like)
papyrus: hilariously every song in my spotify on repeat playlist atm is from my meresino playlist. anyway the first that came up when I shuffled was rabbit hole by aviva
i swear I have whole AViVA albums on this playlist oops, listen this flavour of dark pop just works so well for them.
and as for why this song in particular:
I could say I'll take you
I could say I'll make you
But underneath all I plan to do, to do is break you
You could be my breakthrough
Watching demons wait 'til
I leave you, and they can initi-niti-nitiate you
[…]
I will always wait for you
I'll always be waiting
I will always follow you
'Cause you cannot escape me
Need I say more?
twisted palm tree: firstly can I just how much I love how that you had to twist this because loving villains I shouldn’t is basically my entire brand 🥲
It actually took me a while to think of a character that people assume I love that I don’t really have strong feelings about, and in the end the only answer I could come up with is Bellatrix Lestrange from HP (with the caveat that I don’t know how the fandom portrays her bc I don’t seek out content about her).
The reason I usually love villains is that I find them relatable — either because they remind me of the worst parts of myself, or because they remind me of people I’ve encountered irl, and I like deconstructing what makes people capable of such cruelty through the safer space of fiction because it makes me a) less vulnerable to manipulation irl and b) more sympathetic to people who I wouldn’t see eye-to-eye with. I think growing up as a Young Undiagnosed Autistic, I’ve always been mystified by the concept of being cruel on purpose, and I’ve always wanted to understand it more, and the reasons behind it (even if the reason is as simple as ‘maintaining the status quo because the person in power wishes to remain so’)
Anyway, yeah, I don’t find Bellatrix interesting for the same reasons I don’t find Voldemort interesting, but my favourite HP characters nonetheless are pretty revelatory about me: Dolores Umbridge, Rita Skeeter, Petunia Dursley … I am much more interested in analysing the type of cruelty I am more likely to encounter irl!

aw2 gave me perhaps, one of the most important realizations of my life. just now. "how do you run from an idea?"
the world i created when i started writing. i liked it. and i liked my characters. they were real to me. but. i could escape there. but i couldn't live there. with my family and friends and loved ones, the only ones i've had then.
i needed to stay outside and keep writing them. i could never join them. so i kept writing. every day i would write more of it, obsessively. and with that came a realization of the genre of the story it was shaping up to be.
i keep calling it "automatic writing", because i really never felt like i was in control of it. ideas just used me as a conduit. the story was telling itself. and it wasn't. a nice story. not one with hopes or happy endings.
i once told someone a long time ago that i couldn't stand writing anymore because i loved those people. loved their world. but if i made more of it. they'd have to suffer for it. so i quit. i kept meeting new ideas and characters and i only wrote down the barest of outlines. because the narrative would inevitably doom them, there had to be no narrative anymore.
i think what also made me stop it, was meeting Adam. a guy i knew like 10 years ago who suddenly messaged me. he re-sent me my own message to him from 2013. "well what about the fact that perhaps there IS a god, but he just specifically hates you?"
the last couple of years made me accept it. Adam is me. N(adam)ian. The one who made it all. The one who set up the rules. The one they'd be suffering for. And I don't want to be that. So I chose to leave them. They don't let me. But at least I can not write.

Imagine you're a scientist. You work for, probably, not the most ethical of organizations. The work you do was supposed to involve research demonic power and it uses to better the world. But, instead, you've found yourself observing and dispensing of gallons of demon cum.
The idea started simple. Demons generate energy through their impulsive and sinful natures. So, if one can find a way to "milk" out that energy, then it could be used a potential limitless source to power anything one can dream of.
The drawback is that, between the seven deadly sins, Lust has been the only nature that's consistently drawn the most power over time.
Thus, you - standing in front of the observation bay windows - watching a demon pound away into a milking machine. He was large and muscular, thick horns jutting outwards and sharp enough to kill a man with the smallest of gestures. He had a name - supposedly - but demon language meant nothing but gibberish to human ears. You just called him "Dee".
The job wouldn't be so bad, The cum wasn't very useful and you had the job of disposing of it, if it weren't for the fact that the more "higher up" scientists had noticed this particular demons energy output rose exponentially when you watched them.
It wasn't being in the same room, whether it be through camera or window, the thing somehow knew when you were watching him. In recordings, he would fuck into the machine, for lack of a better word, "vanilla". Rhythmically fucking in and out almost bored by its predicament. But when you entered the room... When you watched the live feed...
Dee's breath hitched and he picked up the speed. His hips pulled out in long and swaying thrusts, becoming more targeted to the phantom mares inner collection chamber. As if he were fucking a real body. His body hunched forward and he breathed against the metal frame and spoke in demon tongue. And his claws, they dragged into the ground, being careful not "hurt" the fake body it was presented with.
It was showing off. Everyone knew that it was thinking of you when it thrust inside. That it wanted you to replace that the unfeeling, robotic hole that it fucked day in and day out.
And, what started out as disgust, was slowly turning warmth and arousal. You were growing jealous of the mechanical contraction it bred.
It should be you.

hc. Mykonos
they are, generally speaking, timid. bad at enforcing their own boundaries (or even recognising they have boundaries in the first place). prone to prioritising the wants of other above their own needs. they fawn constantly. they defer and cry and plead, and the thought of anyone being angry with them makes them crumble to pieces. it paints a very tragic, 'classical victim' picture. it's part of why graves is ashamed she even exists.
they are, however, also proud and volatile: emotionally unpredictable, quick to anger, easy to offend. they can be cruel. they often are cruel if they think it will keep them from being hurt. they will say things they know will hurt you because in their anger--so rarely something they're allowed to express--they don't care about the consequences and they think they're right. if they feel like their control is slipping (especially if it relates to their control over their fellow griefbringers) they're VERY likely to be a massive dick about it.
this is part of why their relationship with graves is so tumultuous, because graves sees how fucked up their responses to things can get (whether they're causing harm to themselves or to others with it) and fucking HATES it, but of course... mykonos can't see it. they are, after all, a creature of rose-tinted vision, unable to see red flags even when they're the one raising them. at best they get cowed into submission by graves' anger and disappointment and start fawning, but they have trouble learning why what happened to them--or what they did--was actually wrong.
