Today's The Day!

Today's the day!

Alright bitches, if you've been around here for longer than a day you know today finally breaks my almost month long hiatus and all the birthday bash HCs are finally releasing!

At 10 a.m MST, roughly an hour from now, the HCs will start posting at 30 minute intervals until all of them are out, assuming the schedule feature works as intended. I barely managed to get all these things done in time, I was up writing at 11:40 p.m last night lmao.

So like the hedonistic attention whore that I am, happy birthday to me!

coffee anon here to throw a birthday thought to the ring if timezones don't eff me over lol. I'm actually kinda curious how wagner or izanami would celebrate an S/O's birthday

You were actually six hours early to the deadline lmao. Really funny to read that.

-Wagner has a very...high class idea of how birthdays are celebrated. Just about every one she's been to, including her own has had a budget equal to what the average person makes in an entire year.

-Frankly a change of pace would be quite nice for her. And now that she had you, her S/O around and with your birthday now coming, it was the perfect chance to do that.

-She's still going to spoil you to hell and back if you've managed to get under her skin enough to become her S/O, but maybe she'll save the more extravagant ideas she has for sometime in the future.

-Whatever you've said you wanted for the last month or two in front of her, you're getting showered with it all thanks to Wagner's family fortune.

-She'd much prefer to spend the day out treating you. Anywhere you want to eat, any recreational place you'd want to go to. It's supposed to be your day, after all. Your happiness today is the priority.

-Just as long as it isn't too down and dirty, she does still have dignity and an image to maintain. More rustic stuff isn't quite her pace. The more ordinary things will please her just fine though, as long as you're having a good time.

(Phantomfield seriously came in clutch with helping me brainstorm for Izanami, this would not have gotten done without their help)

-Izanami is actually pretty used to celebrations, despite almost never making public appearances. For a beloved S/O, she has no qualms with holding a celebration for their birthday to make them happy, though it's definitely going to be a reserved, invite-only event.

-Saya's memories and feelings certainly make her more inclined to the idea than she'd normally be. Izanami can't really help herself in that regard, it's her influence that drives her wish to see you happy, for what time you have left until Doomsday, of course.

-The main attendees are the Duodecim and some high ranking NOL officers here and there. Their payment required to get in? A satisfactory gift for you judged by the Imperator herself. If they can't even gift you something adequate enough then they have no business being anywhere near you.

-She specifically doesn't invite Relius and Hazama, it's not even a question. It's not like they can't behave on the surface, but she knows damn well those two would get up to some shady shit behind the scenes. They are allies, not friends. Their goals are all very different and very self serving at the end of the day.

-Izanami's sort of like a predator being possessive over their prey in that sense. She's not letting you anywhere near those two if she can help it. You're all hers, and she's going to let you know it.

-That's specifically why she planned such an extravagant, enchanting, exclusive event just for you. To spoil you rotten and show you that there's no better fit for your lover than she is. No one else would be able to do something like this for you, would they? Yes, she might be affectionate and perhaps even loving to you, but she's still the manipulative, cunning incarnation of Death itself...

Persona 5 Strikers request: After a long day of work, Ichinose's S/O surprises her at her lab to give her a birthday present-A locket that has a picture of Ichinose, Sophie, and the S/O in it.

Hey this ain't a bad idea. A lot of character development would be needed though before she's anywhere near ready for a relationship.

(She kinda fine tho, ngl. Not my gif.)

-Ichinose probably never celebrated her birthday before. She never saw the point when she had far more important things to do.

-That was however until she'd made Sophia, and then later down the line met you. Despite everything, both of you still cared for her, seeing her as your family. She could never understand why, no matter how much she really did appreciate the thought.

-It eventually reached you that her birthday was here now, and she hadn't told you about it. And she'd already gone off to work for the day. You sort of expected it, as disappointed as you were.

-But you weren't going to let that deter you, you wanted to do something, even if this wasn't the type of girlfriend to like a huge party or go out drinking with her 10+ friends.

-Frankly, she didn't really do...much of anything outside of working and spending time with you and So- wait...

-Lightbulb.

-It really is the perfect gift idea for her. a locket with a picture of all three of you in it that Ichinose can carry around and look at whenever she's just not having a good day.

-She's quite taken aback she'd practically never gotten anything for her birthday before, even if it was somewhat her fault. She doesn't quite understand the meaning at first but she knows it'd be rude to not accept it.

-It's only a couple days later when she realizes. She's pulling an all-nighter and her work is beating her down. Almost naturally, she finds herself opening up the locket and gazing at the picture of herself, you, and Sophia.

-It...actually managed to make her smile. A real one.

Request (P3): For their birthdays, Minako and Mitsuru's S/O's give them a ring that matches their favorite colors.

Best girl bullshit, go.

-Even before you started dating Minako, it's not hard to figure out what her favorite color is. Pink manages to sneak into every single one of her outfits and just about everything she owns.

-You're pressed for ideas for whatever reason so you decide a ring with a nice pink gemstone is the best way to go here. A nice rose quartz or pink amethyst is...affordable enough.

-One the day of, you take her out to eat, wherever she wants, as long as the price is within reason. You're still a high school student.

-In general you two have a nice hangout date at the Paulownia mall, doing whatever catches your or her eye. When the day has blazed by and the sun sets, signaling it's time to head home.

-You manage to remember at the last minute that you'd gotten her something, making you call out to stop her before she heads to her dorm, only for her to turn around and see the ring.

-Minako gasps audibly, clearly not expecting something so intricate and beautiful, however cheesy it may be.

-Next thing you know she's got you in a hug threatening to expel all the air from your lungs saying thank you over and over again as if you're about to disappear if she lets go.

-She immediately puts the ring on and silently vows to herself to never take it off like it's some kind of wedding ring. Probably treats it like one too until you get her one for real someday.

-Mitsuru is...a lot harder to impress on a date at first glance. Having been born into wealth as massive as she has tends to give off that kind of vibe.

-Of course you know better than that, being her S/O but the pressure isn't entirely gone, unfortunately. It's pretty easy to get into your own head when it comes to someone like Mitsuru.

-You do come up with something though. You find a nice ring in a window display while walking home one day embedded with a very beautiful shade of red that immediately brings Mitsuru to mind. Perfect.

-You manage somehow to save up enough money to get the ring and all that's left is...just about everything else. Fantastic.

-You eventually decide on something she's never really had before, something only you can give. You admit you can never impress her externally with something fancy, so the best option is something more intimate, which she pretty much never got growing up.

-After school it's cuddling up in a blanket with an old classic movie she'd probably never heard of before. A very cozy atmosphere she'd pretty much never experienced before meeting you.

-Of course, to top it all off, your present her with the ring afterward. It's nowhere near as extravagant or photogenic as something she could just buy herself, but the fact that it comes from you makes it extra special.

She's much more reserved than Minako in expressing her thanks, but she is by no means any less grateful, the smile she can't seem to wipe off her face and the way she pressed her body further into you is clear proof of that.

Persona 5: How would Sophia react if she found out her S/O gave her a birthday present on the anniversary of when Ichinose created her?

You know I never really think about Sophia in a romantic context. To me at least, she's the adorable, innocent daughter that must be protected at all costs. I'll write this so the nature of S/O's relationship can be up to interpretation just in case.

(Gif not mine because no banner. Credit goes to original maker because the person who made the Blazblue/Uni gifs I used to use blocked me despite credit being given in the gif itself. What can you do, I guess.)

-Ever since the disappearance of the metaverse (again), Sophia hasn't been able to take physical form again, being stuck as data in someone's phone, whether it's yours, Ichinose's or Joker's.

-Futaba had since made upgrades to her program that allows her to switch between phones at will without needing the phones to be in close proximity at least. However a problem had recently come to light.

-Her birthday, or the closest thing she had to one was coming up quickly, according to her logs that Futaba had found. You wanted to get her... something, but that proved to be rather difficult since she doesn't have any way to take a physical form anymore.

-Some brainstorming with the help of Futaba was required. Thankfully she was up to the idea just as much as you. Sophia deserved something special after everything she'd gone through.

-Futaba has to pretty much work overtime, especially with being back in school to get it done, but against all odds she gets it done for the big day. And not a moment too soon.

-You text Ichinose's phone where she currently is and tell her to send Sophia over. The first thing she's met with once she loads into your phone is a new complete space which hadn't been there before.

-When she ended up on Joker's phone, she described the space as comfy, albeit rather small. Now it was practically a mansion. Futaba had made a program that essentially simulated the feel of a larger living space on your phone based off the data she provided on the interior of Joker's phone. With plenty of ideas from you on the design, of course.

-Her eyes practically light up like stars as she takes in the completely new digital landscape, completely in awe at the sheer scale and detail of it. There's so much to explore she never could've imagined possible on just a phone.

-She has no idea what this is for, you have to explain that it's a birthday/anniversary of creation gift for her. Sophia had of course heard of receiving gifts on birthdays but she wasn't "born" like everyone else, so she hadn't expected to ever get something. Especially something with so much effort put in.

-She doesn't really feel that it's needed, but either way she can't express how thankful she really is that you cared about her enough to go this far to do something nice for her.

Rest well, king. Your duty is done.

(Also happy birthday y'all, hope your day's gone well so far)

You bet your ass I'm resting. Getting some food from a top tier Korean bbq place today and Oppenheimer rented out. Life is good now.
