So I Decided To Just Go, "fuck It" And Consider Aoi Hasegawa Finished. I Decided To Make The Top Part

So I decided to just go, "fuck it" and consider Aoi Hasegawa finished. I decided to make the top part of her hair (the roots) darker to indicate she dyed it. As previously mentioned, the colorful clips were from little Akane when she did her hair and she just kept them there since. One of the previous versions for comparison

Expressions!!!

Bonus blushing versions:

Previous versions for comparison (1st, 3rd, and 4th attempts to be precise, 2nd time got lost in the void and I gave the 1st attempt to a moot on Twitter since they took a liking to it):

Anyhow, look at my girl! This one's a keeper for me!

One of the things I wish Royal talked a bit more about: I can't help but still wonder about Sumi's family life and how it might have influenced Kasumi's own behavior too. Just from what was described about how she took care of Sumire it seems like she was trying to parent her if that makes sense? Basically to the point where Sumire later perceived it as her being condescending which I don't blame her for really (This was me with my mom at one point). But yeah I do wonder sometimes and wished that the game talked a bit more about it. Like maybe the parents are loving but aren't around all the time due to jobs so Kasumi decided to take up the caretaker role b/c she's the oldest twin and loves her sister so she doesn't want Sumire to feel neglected? I also remember reading a theory that their mother favored Kasumi more than Sumire due to a bit in the flashback that showed their father with a woman next to him in the background during one of the twins' meets and she was prominently wearing pink (Kasumi's signature color).

Idk, I know their father loves them for certain but I can't help but wonder more about their personal lives and how it ended up impacting/influencing both of their behaviors. Kasumi potentially wanting to make sure her sister didn't get neglected and felt loved/taken care of only to backfire badly would be interesting. It could add more context to some dialogue in the Tactica DLC story that implies that the two got into fights/arguments as they got older too.

Sooooo... This has been buzzing in my head for a while when I was planning out my P5 X TF: Prime Crossover AU but... Techno-Organic (Human/Cybertronian hybrid) Joker for this particular AU anyone?

(And yes, it's inspired by Sari Sumdac from Transformers Animated (another fave of mine) tho probably a bit darker in this case)

Omg you mad lad! This is so sad but so brilliant! It makes too much sense!

Potentially adding to the tension is Megatron learning about the Metaverse somehow and trying to eliminate OP's Shadow not really caring how it would effect the real one as he would still land a "win" on his end. Also I'm still figuring out Personas for Team Prime since they would turn human somehow due to changes in cognition and to better accommodate their size. So far I thought about Moses for OP and John Henry for Bulkhead so far. Gah I just feel so excited!

"Some people want to run from their pain and cling to some other version of reality... Like I used to. But the knowledge I gained through that pain, and my desire to move on... Those are even more precious to me! And I won't let anyone take them from me again!"

Minus well finally post it a day early!

Happy Birthday Sumire and Kasumi Yoshizawa!!! (3/25)

This is Sumi finally reaching the nationals like she promised with Kasumi no doubt by her side in spirit feeling just as proud!

"Kasumi... I did it!! I finally did it! Thank you... For everything!"

Bonus:

Separate sprites as well for a better look at her!
