Persona 3 Reload (i Love)

persona 3 reload (i love)

CW: ACTUALLY. uh. warning for like. suicide?? guns? well its not actually suicide but like. i mean this isnt spoiler free but they use a certain method to trigger their personas that could be very triggering to people so if you're uncomfortable with death and anything related, this is NOT the game for you!

Also spoilers for other persona games

i just saw the entire story of persona 3 reload (well. i watched someone play it. because im not the biggest fan of grinding, but on the other hand listening to grinding in tartarus vods where they just talk about random stuff [actually, i watched CyYu's playthrough. If you don't know, that's Akihiko's VA] is nice to have in the background)

this was the second persona game ive seen. the first was persona 5, which i saw the anime for, but forgot like most of what happened (ive been regaining that knowledge through fanfiction.)

in any case i also spoiled myself to what happened in persona 3 by fanfiction

so i knew. that. protag would die.

but it got me really sad. and with the in-cutscene options where it just. feels so slow.

(and a part of me is relieved that we didnt see them make the realization that we're dead. it was all happy times till the end and i know that wouldve gotten the waterworks coming)

and then the main menu screen??

its just. empty.

and this got me crying (i always hate endings, honestly. the 'will we or will we not meet again?' no thanks i shall live in 'these characters will live forever in a sort of limbo in the same school and nothing changes because yes'. ...although that might be a little too close to a certain twisted wonderland plotline LMFAO)

(also oh my god the osts in this game are such a fucking BOP AGHH)

(i have no clue what my reaction to the plot twist with like ryoji n stuff would be though, honestly. i spoiled myself reading those time travel fanfictions where persona 3 protagonist [either makoto or minato] either comes back to the beginning. ..OR somehow comes back to life??? or appears in persona 5 with amnesia at first. and like. there's one where ryoji was there (as a voice). or the yellow in his phantom thief costume was 'his idea of rebellion' aka ryoji. so then. i went to the wiki. and so yeee.)

in any case i definitely prefer this over persona 5. and that might be because i really got myself invested in the actual story and cared a whole lot about the characters (Cy Yu did a 100% playthrough using a guide as he played the original but respectfully kept the entire thing spoiler-free so ppl like me could fully experience it for the first time while getting the most story :D)

but yeah.

also.

GUNS.

trauma.

ive only seen it a few times in crossover fics between persona games. but. ..i really like seeing peoples reactions to them pulling a gun out and shooting themselves. (sometimes it works. sometimes it doesnt and it breaks because there's a difference to how every persona world works for each game. like. Dark Hour, TV World(? ive never seen 4 but ive seen fics), Metaverse(iirc)... And the shadows I think mean different things.)

also the theurgy's are very pretty. and if i misspelled that i am so sorry.

genderfluid (& androgynous)

someone called riddle genderfluid and now i cant unsee it

(imagine its a fem day. and he just sits there with a skirt. and radiating dom energy. my minds too stuck on bamf ladies. also you dont have to wear a skirt if you dont wanna, i just like em. but uh. its like a superiority thing. (bruh imagine someone bumps into them- or.. wHATEVER pronoun. uh. fuck. i said them for riddle cause im too used to he/they characters. wtf pronouns do i use for him??? uhm. but so someone bumps into riddle. and then they just blurt out 'pls step on me'. and hes like wha? [cuz he comes off strict and intimidating, but hes also sometimes clueless/oblivious, poor sheltered bby] and then they eep and run away hehehehe ...imagine he asks cater what that meant [because cater knows a lot of weird stuff]. cater spits out his tea like WHAT. HUH? actually LMFAO- 'i never expected to hear those words come out of riddles mouth! and he said it so straight-faced too!')

..i have a hunch you probably thought id put 'step on me mommy' but

im. kind of not a fan of the sexualization of those words cause now i can never unsee it when its just an innocent version

i feel like.. riddle has a lot of problems with his mom. one including not wanting to be too similar to her, or being compared to her (and regretting that he'd basically become a mini-her for awhile there, although in more serious words)

(also how do genderfluid people do pronouns?? [i have no gender so i dont get it] ive seen in some writing they use like. she/her on a she/her day. or he/him on a he/him day. but could you also just... stay to another pronoun too? i mean. theres probably she/they and he/they that works there. she/he does too. ..is it she/he? or is it she/him? probably she/he. idfk. i mean. i have a bias towards he/they. but like. if you're leaning more towards feminine.. do you match feminine pronouns too or is it just based on how you're feeling and it can really just go either way??? i kind of want to write a genderfluid riddle in a purely self-indulgent way. but i dont know what to do about the pronouns or if i should change them)

anyway

maybe thats my bad cause i like referring to him as a queen instead of a king (HE WEARS HEELS TOO. we love a short king. LMFAO)

(he wears heels because the queen and the first heartslabyul housewarden wore them. and his uniform is modeled after the first heartslabyul housewarden. this is iirc mentioned in his halloween vignette)

this is future me

he could definitely just be androgynous too and not afraid to use it

like

okay

spoilers for a JP card but

here. (a card i desperately want in the future, even though ill probably never actually use him)

which since we're here. vil. with his androgynous energy. who is also referred to as a queen. .........

honestly. i dont think he really cares that much about either way? or. that. i think im wording that wrong

like.. wearing dresses or suits, i dont think it makes a difference to him. for 1, he knows he rocks it. 2, assigning things to 'female' and 'male' and then saying the other cant wear things the opposite does is dumb (i still refer to them as feminine or masculine to differentiate them, my issue with it is then restricting it)

so he just. sometimes

to prove a point, wears short hair (or something that leans a little more towards masculine-y) with dresses

actually he kind of does that already

its just a coincidence LMFAO

i think its just more to fit the occasion

cause in this his hair is tied up

also damn this mfs pretty

anyway i think thats enough vil LMFAO

i got so off topic

L’appel du vide / Persona 5 Time Travel Fic (Fic Rec)

Akechi Goro is alive – one of his biggest regrets is alive and standing in front of him looking like he’s ready for some highbrow sports photo shoot when what he really needs is five years intensive therapy and at least five more steps away from Akira. No, no, no – the universe is not allowed to shove this on him so soon after it just flung him three fucking years into the past. (Sometimes the only way to save someone is to let them save you first.) (Huge canon divergence. Akira's past and future affect him big time.)

its very cool. i think its probably not being updated anymore but ish very cool

SPoilers for the fic

Also there's like. i think he doesn't have a persona in this one because he has a palace. in which. i cant remember if thats how it works because i havent seen persona 5 in forever and remember barely anything except joker. morgana (i dont know what he is). and nothing else. (bruh i forgot akechi existed, and i have no recollection of ever seeing the ending or anything close to it. i feel like i just blacked out during the ending but i also watched the anime so im not sure if the anime missed something or if i somehow missed something?? oops??)

you know want to

[Doorknob: A direct shortcut to the third relay point, in fact! C'mon, you know want to, haha!]

the entirety of my genshin impact acc (mostly)

not gonna delete stuff on my laptop so im switching to mobile briefly

i dont think my phone can handle genshin (i had to delete a bunch of apps to even download it. hh.) so. im probably never playing again. (ill try to keep up with the story. or i might just procrastinate. idk. it was during sumeru i faced like burnout and playing became more of a hassle and i just gave up during the dessert like bruh i cant with this exploration. cyno i love you but those scarabs man holy shit i dont have the patience. and then fontaine came out and i LOVED it. but im still exhausted and admittedly the newest updates dont appeal to me anymore. maybe its just because ive lost interest. idk.)

was saving for arlecchino so here we are

MOST IMAGES ARE HERE: https://www.hoyolab.com/article/27640059

(image limit there is 100 so if characters had constellations and all i wanted to show was that i had them, i just showed the constellations cuz u can see whose who on the side)

f2p. got like a welkin moon(?) from a giveaway but i didnt log in to all the days because i was procrastinating from genshin

and screw you diluc

(i gave furina his sword because i dont have that many 5star swords)

this was on wanderer but since he became on my team i gave it to wriothesley

(i think some of these artifacts were stolen from cyno)

I JUST REMEMBERED. okay so. first i got heizou. then i got wanderer. then i got kazuha. so what happened is heizou had the viridescent whatever the name is set. then i gave it to wanderer. and then i gave it to kazuha while giving wanderer the artifacts for him.. so heizou just got left in the dirt. oop.

cant be bothered to go through all the elements so take dendro (all i remember is that anemo traveler is maxed out on constellations)

(switched to jp VA ever since tighnari's old va.. yknow. cuz i hated hearing his voice and he was on my team then)

before i think she had like the 4 piece set which i think gave like the bubble thing?

(i dont use claymores)
