Akechi P5 - Tumblr Posts

Okay listen, Akechi and Yusuke are such an interesting duo. They've both been through similar experiences (having a dead mom and a shitty father/father figure) and have a certain way they see the world that's seen as strange to most people. Yusuke, viewing the world through an artistic lends at all times and Akechi, having a very cynical and vengeful look on life constantly seeking justice in extreme ways most would consider unethical. They're both so interesting as characters on their own already but together they make for a very interesting pair. The game itself has paralleled the two before, Yusuke has bits of dialogue when speaking to/about Akechi where he mentions that had he not met the phantom thieves when he did he would've ended up like a Akechi. A vengeful man looking to get justice for his dead mother by taking down the man who caused her death no matter what the cost. Yusuke and Akechi actually have a conversation in the thieves den where, when put in front of the shido statue, they discuss their feelings towards their respective father/father figures. Akechi comments that Yusuke must have felt something similar towards madarame and Yusuke says that while in the beginning he was filled with disappoint and anger he realized that something must have happened in Madarame's life that led him to live a life of dishonesty. Akechi notes that while that may be the case it doesn't change how he feels about Shido, the reason for his corrupt nature doesn't matter after all of the pain he caused. Their outlooks on life are so different it makes me wish they had more scenes together, they're so similar yet so different.

I also just think the idea of these two being best friends is funny, they definitely shit talk together (Yusuke does it unintentionally, he tends to just blurt out what he think which Akechi finds amusing)

TLDR: Akechi and Yusuke are the same but also no they're not and they should be besties

You guys already know I love spreading my akekita besties agenda

I saw someone post a video about a little porcelain figure they found and it was a crow in a big straw hat and a sweater and behind the crow was several different easels. The person filming the video dubbed the porcelain figure 'vincent van crow' so you see where I'm going with this. (Btw this is an AU where Akechi lives and he works with the phantom thieves because they can see he needs help and they're going to give him that help whether he wants it or not. Canon be damned.)

Akechi and Yusuke walking around different shops because yusuke needs new art supplies and guess who they find sitting on a shelf tucked away behind some miscellaneous items like mason jars and small vases of different dull colors. Vincent Van Crow. Akechi saw him first and thought Yusuke would appreciate the little porcelain figure, unaware of the artist's terrible spending habits. Yusuke would feel the same connection to Vincent Van Crow that he did with his lobsters and abandon the original mission just to buy him, insisting it was destiny. A crow that was a fellow artist, the only one on the shell and who better to point it out to him but Akechi himself.

Despite Akechi's protests that Yusuke's funds are limited and he should focus on finding the supplies for whatever new piece he was working on (it was a watercolor painting, several paintings, of the various different places in the backstreets where lebanc resided) Yusuke insists on buying him. Akechi doesn't quite understand how Yusuke can have such a sentimental attachment to an object he doesn't own yet but he can't afford to argue any longer because he'll lose his cool.

It isn't until they've finished their shopping and are walking back to the train station that he starts to really get it. Not because he had given the porcelain crow any thought but because Yusuke declared that this small, breakable and frankly unimpressive (to akechi at least) figure was a sign of their bond. A representation of different facets of their personalities and how despite the fact that nobody really understood it, Yusuke and Akechi made sense together.

On paper it was strange, an aloof artist and the famous detective prince but looking past the surface gave a glimpse into why they worked so well together. Yusuke was honest, brutally honest he never censored himself because he didn't see the point in doing so, he looked for a deeper meaning in everything which made sense since all art has some meaning behind it. It's second nature for him to evaluate everything he saw on a deeper level. Akechi appreciated having someone like Yusuke in his life because he never worried that Yusuke was using him like everyone else had. Yusuke's unrelenting honestly was a breath of fresh air for akechi, and no matter how hard he tried to convince himself in the beginning he could never fully believe that Yusuke's honesty was an act. He was too genuine and his perceptive abilities made him see past the act Akechi would often put on.

In turn Akechi was very critical, he had to be as a detective, and he was constantly aware of his surroundings. He always kept a look out for any danger and covered all his bases to make sure he could keep himself safe. Which was something Yusuke appreciated because he would often get lost in thought and wander off to various different places because they piqued his interest, he couldn't stay on task like Akechi could.

They helped each other and the time they spent together was time well spent, numerous discussions of various topics being viewed from two different lens. But they still managed to consider the other's position in their discussions, Yusuke would consider the analytical mindset that Akechi had and Akechi would pay more attention to the finer details and emotional aspects of a situation like Yusuke did. It was an odd but wonderful friendship they had.

So on the train ride back to their homes, Akechi considered the porcelain crow and his porcelain easels, the shine of his feathers and the way his beak twisted into a sweet smile and he felt a small warmth fill his heart. Warmth at the thought that his friend, his real friend that he had made on his own, would keep that small crow on a shelf or a table and think of him whenever he saw it. Warmth because he wasn't alone anymore, he was wanted by the people around him. Wanted enough for his friend to buy an insignificant trinket that put an extra expense on his limit supply of money just because it reminded him of the detective. Warmth because he was loved.

Happy 2/2 everybody, I'm sure we can all collectively agree that Persona 3 Reload's release for today was intentional.

Shout out to the Akeshu girlies today is hell for all of us, we did this to ourselves.

My best friend and I made an akeshu playlist a while ago, it's songs that we think are akeshu coded. My best friend added mostly Taylor Swift songs and I added mostly Hozier but we both agreed heavily on Mitski.

From Eden is hitting just a little harder today guys. You should give it a listen, join the collective crying experience

Akeshu Nation!

Do you guys ever think about how Akechi and Akira are like the Moon and the Ocean?

Cause I do.

I think a lot about how, like the ocean, akira is constantly trying to reach out to akechi who, like the moon, is too far away to ever reach. The moon's gravitational pull is what causes the ocean's tides to rise as high as they do. I've heard some people say it's like the ocean is trying to reach the moon, but it never will no matter how high it's tides are. Which made me think about Akira and Akechi because isn't that the exact same thing they go through.

Akira is a lot like the ocean in the sense that to a lot of people think he's mysterious and seems dangerous but the people he's close to love him more than anything. He's a leader, someone who's there for others, a soothing presence that people can turn to and interact with.

Whereas akechi is a lot like the moon because he's essentially the opposite. Everyone admires the moon from far away, we're stuck on earth so the only way to see the moon is through a lense or on a screen we never actually see it up close with our own eyes. Despite this it's admired by many much like how akechi has many admirers. He has hundreds of supporters who think he's elegant and intelligent, he's admired by many from afar. Despite these supporters akechi, like the moon, is alone. He's so removed from the world he's practically in space. He's never had a proper connection with anyone at least until he met akira.

Akira was Akechi's first real connection outside of Sae and even she didn't fully know him. Akira was constantly reaching out to akechi, trying to understand and help him becasue he knew something was wrong.

Despite his efforts he couldn't keep akechi, no matter how hard he tried, what he said or did differently it was never enough. Akira and akechi aren't meant to be together no matter how much they want to be. The universe decided they would be kept apart no matter what and any reality where they get to be together isn't meant to exist, we see that in P5R's 3rd semester.

So akira and akechi are like the moon and the ocean in the sense that no matter how hard they try, how desperate they are or how much they fight for it they will never be together. Not in this life or the next.

Guys help

Akeshu enjoyers please help me decide something

Out of the two of them who is most likely to watch the other while they're asleep. Like one of them is asleep and the other is just. Staring. I know the reasonable answer is both of them cause they're both freaks (affectionate) but I need to know what you guys think. Who does it more?

And when you think staring it can be in like a deep admiring kinda way where they think back on everything they've been through and all that or it can be just staring for the purpose of staring without any real retrospection, just a kinda weird habit they have.

I had an akeshu thought inspired by the ending of Attack on Titan and I needed to tell someone about it

//Spoilers for the ending of Attack on Titan

So I've never seen AOT or read it but my best friend has! So when she told me about how the manga ended a few years ago I began to look into it. She mentioned that Eren died and I wanted to see how the fandom was handling it. It's not confirmed but a lot of people like the interpretation of Eren becoming a bird after he died. I was talking to my best friend about the ending of Attack on Titan today and I had a thought.

Because my best friend also really likes Persona and she's insane about Akechi most of our conversations lead back to him. While we were talking about Eren and the birds I began to think about Akechi and I came up with a fun little AU.

What if after the end of third semester Akechi became a crow. Suddenly, after going back to his home town, Akira notices the increase in crow sightings in his town. He leaves them food and they visit him at his bedroom window and leave him all sorts of things. Crows have great memories and are especially good at recognizing faces and pretty soon Akira just starts becoming the crow guy in his neighborhood. Obviously he tells the phantom thieves about it and they have that "maybe it's akechi, nah that's crazy" conversation but deep down Akira believes they're connected to Akechi somehow. It isn't until one crow drops a small chess piece on his window sill one day that he really starts to feel like his beliefs might be grounded in more than just false hope.

My best friend and I came up with a stupid little concept for our silly little "akechi lives don't ask how though" persona 5 AU

So you know how middle school and high schoolers use codenames with their best friends to talk about other people in public. Like referring to someone's crush as "pineapple" we were thinking that akira does that but since they already have codenames he just switches everyone's codenames down one in order of who joined. We used a whiteboard to illustrate what kind of shenanigans could ensue

I'm gonna write down everything that was on the board in case it's difficult to understand when looking at the picture

A key to all the symbols

-> are Akechi's thoughts

On its own are things that are said

Codenames: Akira - Violet, Ryuji - Joker, Morgana - Skull, Ann - Mona, Yusuke- Panther, Makoto - Fox, Futaba - Queen, Haru - Oracle, Akechi - Noir, Sumi - Crow. The only people who know and understand the codename switch are Ann, Akira and Ryuji and they use it to gossip

The fun begins when we decided to torture Akechi by having him accidently overhear almost every conversation where these confusing nicknames are used.

Akechi overhears:

Akira: omg Noir is so cute

-> cries and calls Ann

[This is the phone call Akechi has with Ann, which is labeled with 3 on the whiteboard:

Akechi: heyyy Ann so funny story um does Akira like...yknow...like Noir? Haru?

Ann, knowing the truth and thinking this is the funniest thing ever: omg yea girl he totally for real likes Noir

Akechi, wanting to die a lil bit: haha cool thats great thx bye]

"Queen is gonna ask out Crow"

-> gag, ew, distance from Makoto bc omg WHY

"Fox and Oracle are dating"

-> ?? I thought Oracle was a lesbian??

"Shujin is gonna fall apart now that Fox left"

-> he went?? to Kosei?? hello??

Akira: "Skull is so heavy T^T like he decides fo sleep right on my ribs it hurts"

-> ?????

Akira: "so yea I'm gonna ask Noir to go to the jazz club tonight, since it's like, our place, yknow"

-> WHAT THE FUCK.

-> (gets a text from akira to go to the jazz club 2 minutes later)

4. Akechi rants to sumi about it cause he doesn't trust ann anymore

☆ has a detective board with w/ quotes ect.

☆ sumi also tries to help (even more confused than he is)

Ann: violet needs to ask noir out already

Ryuji: I know dude, like I love the guy but, c'mon

-> SUMI'S IN ON IT TOO T^T

Akira does this needlessly complicated name system just to be messy. He doesn't plan on akechi finding out but he keeps it complicated in case any of the others overhear him. He didn't think the possibility of akechi overhearing was very high but Akechi loves to eavesdrop.
