#{ a yusuke for you my friendo }

@vancreux replied to the call!

"Ah hello it's been awhile hasn't it?"

Yusuke had been visiting between the break for school. He had some time off for that as well as from his part-time job. It had found the young artist journeying back from where he was studying to Shibuya.

Feet had carried him back to the backstreet where Leblanc was, coming to get a cup or two of Boss' coffee - something he'd admit he missed not being able to come so easily here now. As well as some of the curry.

But the big reason he came here was still the same, to check and look at the Sayuri once more. To see his mother's art once more, reminded him of all that had happened and what he could do.

He hadn't expected to see their fearless leader however, he had excepted at the least to see Futaba. But he was pleasantly surprised and happy to see the other however.

Got any silly little persona 5 headcanons for me👀?

*cracks knuckles* you know it, friendo >:D

okay so, Ren is super into movies; action, sci-fi whatever, you call it, but his absolute favourite genre is actually horror or thriller. He is a little crazy (especially as Joker) underneath that sweet little smile, we all know it. He really loves the old classics and makes Morgana watch them with him. Futaba wants to watch them too, says she can handle it, so they have a sibling movie night. She does get scared in the end; BUT Ren's enthusiasm overshadows the spooks and they have a heck of a time. Unfortunately Sojiro gets real mad at Ren for letting Futaba watch them and makes him clean Leblanc for like hours. WORTH IT

Ryuji actually loves to go on shopping trips with Ann (he would probably never admit it) and Ann in return goes to sweat it out at the gym with him. They combine it most of the time. They get "super cute" gym gear for Ann and then get some protein powder and also "handsome" new shirts for Ryuji and then run on the treadmill. And of course they get some crepes afterwards, cause "C'mon Ryuji we JUST burned a lot of calories, now we can eat em again!"

Also some random ones:

Haru is really good at archery because she used to do it a lot when she was younger. Yusuke loves to draw her in action.

Akechi gets uncomfortable around babies for some reason; he also needs glasses but refuses to wear them and uses contacts instead.

Yusuke loves painting nails, including his own. He's really good at it, too. Like he does full designs and patterns and Ann especially looooves to make him do hers.

Sumi is allergic to cats but really wants one

okay that's it omfg my brain

thanks pinky that was fun :D

Fox boy for @a-curious-passerby!

Hey! (I’m Yusuke-of-calls FYI, this is my main) So your “Yusuke is Minato’s reincarnation” AU kinda lives rent free in my head and I wanted to know if you’d be on if I wrote a thing for it? I’d tag you of course!

that is completely fine friendo and thank you! 

[yusuke-of-valla]

SO I uh had some thoughts about Yusuke’s rank 3 but couldn’t organize them so I just recorded myself rambling and now it’s here. I put the transcript under the cut (minus bits of like mental buffering)

Transcript Hello friendos. I am recording sad art boi hours today because word machine is broke and I’ve tried writing it out several times, and as I write, I always forget, so hopefully if I just have my bullet points in front of me, I can make something coherent, and then I’ll just type up whatever I’m saying right now.

Anyway, anyway. Today’s notes are on Yusuke’s rank 3 which was, you know the initial one that made me fall in love with him because he got mildly critiqued and collapsed to the ground in shame and you know, when I was 15, that was a mood. It’s still a mood.

Anyway, anyway, anyway.

Ok so, when Kawanabe comes up to Yusuke’s art piece he’s like “yeah there’s good technical skill but very little meaning behind it.”

And well I mean, I do agree that “Desire” is a dope ass painting. It looks so cool. Like I actually have to picture looking at it in real life. It looks like it’s doing cool shit the textures, I don’t know. I hated art class so I can’t explain it but “Desire” is a cool painting and that’s enough for me but it’s not enough for freaking art snobs.

And speaking of art snobs (yay transition!), yeah no, actually it makes sense that for the larger art world, Yusuke could have provided stuff that was like, more technically skilled but with less deep emotional meaning under Madarame’s name because like Madarame’s famous so as long as it’s cool to look at, it’s gonna be like “oh there’s probably some deep meaning to it.” So it’s  like, if you’re already famous you can get away with shit that’s not super meaningful but has a lot of clear skill.

And then after Kawanabe, Yusuke is like “the colors, these brush strokes, they do not convey the true meaning of desire, only my conception of it!” which is like, not a bad thing. The other thing Kawanabe says is that his topic is unoriginal, which, in my opinion, if the problem is that it’s a stale topic, then yeah, Yusuke’s conception of it would be a unique twist, because every person has their own unique perspective. 

So it’s like, I find it interesting that Yusuke thinks the problem is his conception of it and not the fact that like it’s not really his conception of it, he’s just sorta drawing Mementos. 

I find it interesting that Yusuke would think “oh the problem is me” when really like, putting more of his own feelings would make it better, like Ann wanted to see the angry piece. The one he made when he was angry that they comment when you go to the thing… the thing where the art is— gallery, It’s a gallery— for the first time.

Ok I have a quote here. “I haven’t captured desire, desire has captured me! How could I fool myself into believing otherwise” and I just. I just wrote that down and wrote “hmmmm” after it. I don’t remember why. I don’t remember what I was exactly thinking. I guess it’s all the blaming of himself, I guess “how could I fool myself into thinking otherwise” like “oh god I’m so fucking stupid.” Yusuke is such a goddamn mood in this scene, holy shit.

Oh there’s also the fact that like, a single mistake is— he makes a single mistake and is immediately like “welp I’m fucked. I’m screwed, I’m doomed. This is the end of me, I have no future in art.” And he’s like “don’t patronize me” when you try to be like “yo no, this is just the beginning” he’s like “don’t patronize me, I have no future in this field” and it’s like

Yeah that makes sense as a mindset he’d have, because everyone’s favorite rat bastard threw away people who weren’t useful to him so if Yusuke makes bad art he’s thrown out so yeah, it totally makes sense that is the reaction he’d have.

Now he’s more determined to break out of his slump, which I don’t know still feels like burnout to me? Like, his solution at the end of this is like “I’m going to make ten new art pieces” and I’m just like “no, no dude please take a break.” But then of course he’s still got the scholarship riding on it. I don’t know, I don’t know. This is just me being subjective.

And then the last thing is about the call you get post rank-up and it’s “With your support I was able to pick myself up rather quickly today. I hope this doesn’t discourage you from joining me again. I will get past this.” 

I don’t know that “i will get past this” feels so, how do I explain it, it sounds so much like he’s saying “please don’t get rid of me.” 

Like, “I hope this doesn’t discourage you from joining me again,” “I hope the fact that I showed feelings doesn’t discourage you from joining me again” that’s what that feels like. Cause it’s like, whenever something happens, Yusuke apologizes for being overwhelmed. This happened in Madarame’s Palace. I made a joke about this, he got hit in the head he just had his world broken into a bajillion tiny little pieces and he’s like “sorry my emotions are getting the better of me.”

 Yusuke’s just that one meme that’s just like “throw it all out, we can’t let people know we have feelings.”

I think that’s everything I wanted to yell about…

Oh, right Yusuke seems to have a inferiority- superiority complex which is like “that was nothing more than the drivel of unrefined commoners I needn’t pay any mind to them” it’s like yeah ok cause that makes sense Yusuke would have that [thought process] because again. Rat bastard. 

Madarame seemed to be like “you’re better for living in these shitty conditions, like you’re better for living in this shack and giving up your work for your teacher. You’re a better person for that. Also don’t listen to people who say they wanna help you cause Madarame’s abusive because they’re just a pack of thus and their opinion isn’t worth listening to.”

And that’s a strong thought that I hope makes sense to people who are not me, so I am just going to end this here. Thank you for joining me for sad art boi hours.

Goodnight <3

((Okay while I finish posting drafts and since I think that there aren’t a lot of you around... Gonna show you some cosplay pics of this convention~ They are not edited because I’ve got no time... I shouldn’t even be here 8DDD And I show you in small thingies because they ARE NOT edited, they MUST be fixed and I just wanna show you a bit.

First day: Link, from The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword. I felt like shit because I couldn’t leave the event for taking photos outside, so there was no green. That’s why I was surrounded by people, bins, and that’s why I have that face of “I want to kill someone. Killme I dun wanna be here.” Even if I wanna fix a couple of things with the wig and the make-up, I was happy with the cosplay.

Second and fifth day: Protagonist, from Persona 5. Thanks god this cosplay was comfy because we were dead and it was really nice to wear it, above all the last day. With  @tackyink as Futaba.

Third and fourth day: Protagonist,  from Persona 5 (battle outfit). HELL. MADNESS. IT LOOKS AWESOME IN PERSON EVEN IF WITH MISTAKES. BUT IT WAS HELL TO MAKE IT AND WEAR IT. Kill me, please. My friendo @tackyink as Haru and my friend knightofvoid as Yusuke.
