(content & spoiler warning for goro akechi's backstory)

with how persona 5 depicts the phantom thieves' persona awakenings as physically excrutiating, seen in how they scream and writhe in agony as their persona offers power before they must rip a mask off like its their flesh,

it really is nauseating to think about a goro akechi who's 2 years younger and fundamentally, inescapably alone suffering this psyche-breaking pain with no catharsis or comfort.

especially if you factor in the theory that both his personas awakened simultaneously, I imagine 2 diametrically opposed aspects of yourself tearing their way out of your mind's recesses is... not fun in the slightest. Homie had to suddenly deal with the thesis and antithesis that synthesize into his angry, broken self.

and literally none of the phantom thieves awakened alone (iirc), there was always someone on their side to fight beside them. and they found mona so quickly that they were well-informed about the fatalities certain metaverse actions could cause irl

meanwhile all akechi had was his rage, his pain, and 2 personas with all or nothing emotional disregulation. then he offered his abilities to shido in order to get close enough for revenge, and shido anointed him by submerging his hands in blood

and can you blame a kid for accepting the role of a living weapon when his conception and birth led to his mother's suicide (from a traumatized kid's pov), he could see all the worst parts of humanity in his own father, and had no one to tell him otherwise?

I'd be convinced I was made for destruction, too, if I had Loki and Robin Hood torturing me into accepting their power.

hm i think the result of this pondering is that I'd fucking hate akira too if i had to see everything i'd never been given fall into some annoying (witty rebellious righteous kind) mob character's arms. one bullet isn't enough I'd fuckin bite his throat out

Akechi the kinda guy to ask "would you still love me if I was a worm" type questions, but instead of the normal ones he manages to come up with the most unhinged but also nerdy shit.

It'll be like 5am, he just woke up, Akiren's still half asleep, and he'd just be like "would you still love me if I was away for 20 years, spent half of it fighting in a war, and then spent the other half on my journey back to you, killing over 700 people on the way including my entire fleet and pissing off several gods in the process all for the sake of returning to you?" And Akiren of course says yes (because come on now) and Akechi spends the rest of his day kicking his feet and giggling at it every three hours.

In case the esim process confuses you or you aren't able to buy them yourself for any other reason, crips for esims for Gaza is collecting donations, they've almost met their goal of $150,000 raised. Donating allows them to buy esims in bulk which allows them to obtain more than individuals would be able to. I just donated and it was super easy as you can use paypal.
