#‘tsukasa collects strays’ no that’s an.

I don’t think An gets enough credit for being like… such a casually nice & kind person without even trying. To the point where even I can tell and I’m not a VBS fan (behind on stories) bc it just bleeds through in every interaction she has with other characters. Like it’s never her being Absurdly Over The Top Kind she just. Treats everyone equally. Friendly with everyone. Thinking abt her being the first one @ school to attempt to befriend Mizuki and treat them like a person. Nene being nervous on her first day of second year and An just immediately walks up to her like Hiiii good morning!! An Shiraishi: Lesbian Jesus.

ask game!!

Home: The idea of “home” changes a lot for me, because I have a lot of different kins. My biggest one is the nation of Sumeru— I’m so much more at ease when exploring the rainforests in Genshin, seeing all the greens and blues, collecting different plants and just seeing the beauty of everything. That’s the Tighnari kin going, but if I’m currently shifted to Rui or Kanade (Project Sekai), I prefer my own bedroom— usually in dim lighting or at night. Night is best. I enjoy using Discord a lot when I’m Kanade. A Ranpo shift (Bungo Stray Dogs) is the hardest, because my idea of “home” then is Yokohama, Japan. And I can’t exactly visit, I live in the US!! I’d love to go there someday, though. That’ll probably awaken a ton of Ranpo memories for me. I look forward to it.

Secrets: I don’t really have that many secrets, at least- that I know of. I still haven’t been able to awaken many memories of my past lives. But one secret is that my canon’s Rui was transmasc! It wasn’t a secret secret, because his parents, Mizuki, Emu, Nene, Tsukasa, Akito, and Ena all knew about it. (Akito told Ena, Rui didn’t tell her himself) But it was also technically a secret because nobody else did.

vague complaining about p5 that takes the shape of rewriting some in-setting metaphysics:

an individual's mind isn't powerful enough to rewrite cognition on its own no matter how strange their perceptions or desires. however, certain people have enough temporal power (social, economic etc.) that they can shape the mindshare of larger groups, influencing the way people think en masse; the collective will of many minds indoctrinated, abused or persuaded into sharing a single view, that of a single powerful figure, creates a Palace. each Palace is built around a particular worldview on the part of its ruler, something they're trying to "teach" others or that lies implicit in their actions. treasures are proof of their right-to-rule or instruments by which they demonstrate their power over the consensus; taking one means stealing the hearts of the people!

becoming a phantom thief is about reclaiming the right to decide what you believe, how you see the world, often from a palace ruler. a phantom thief's costume is a kind of miniaturized personal Palace of one: Palace rulers can't use their authority to rewrite your body and mind, because you rule yourself, and don't let your decisions get overruled by the consensus.

further blow-by-blow beneath the cut:

Kamoshida thinks that becoming an adult is about figuring out what you can get away with. In this there's a certain amount of arrested development. let's say he was a teen athletic star who peaked early on, desperately trying to relive his glory days by sticking around in high school and relitigating high school power games from a position of power and prestige as a teacher. he abuses students because he figures, if no one's stopping him, then it can't really be wrong, because on some level he still conceives of himself as a student whose teachers like him and bend rules for him; this must be what he deserves. ryuji could've lived respectably, too, but he childishly acted beyond his means, and ruined his future. (ryuji and ann rejecting this — rejecting the idea that they have to quietly live with what they're permitted to have, and be grateful for that much — is how they awaken their personas.) treasure probably still an olympic medal, proof that he has enough value to not be punished.

madarame's thing is adjusted to point at the art-over-all mindset Yusuke wound up with: ms. kitagawa was a no-name artist who managed to produce a masterpiece, but the Sayuri would languish in obscurity if it were hitched to her star. madarame had to take it for himself, and use his fame to give it the recognition it deserves! bring in something about "which would you save if the Louvre burned: an ordinary person, or the Mona Lisa?" with the clear implication (and twist in logic) that madarame has to curtail the futures of children who might dedicate themselves to other paths or stray or live on their own, because otherwise they might stop making art. better death than that! treasure is the sayuri, still, whose worth is what really made his name and in whose name he continues to torment children into becoming art factories.

fuck kaneshiro, absolutely the most boring palace owner, let's replace him with Jounodaira Tsukasa, "peace-castle instructor," a police sergeant or captain known for his love of teaching rookie officers, thoroughly in bed with the yakuza, to whom the precinct is a bank from which he can confiscate all the money he could ever need. plays directly into makoto's issues — he's already got his hooks in her because his ideology is that it's fine, they're criminals — human rights are for humans. it's how he teaches all his newbies; he would've tried to bring makoto in line with that thinking. it's fine to enrich yourself at the hands of criminals — and the yaks, why, they police themselves, and all they want is a little freedom to operate! isn't peace the point? didn't you stoop to blackmail to locate the Phantom Thieves, because you needed opportunities to live a decent life — such a respectable thing, and it's only lowly thieves who'll suffer! if you're conducting justice, why not enrich yourself — is that such a terrible thing? probably a badge for his treasure, or a gold-plated gun: symbol of his authority to project force.

also futaba gets to be a bastard like everyone else: having seen her family fold like a house of cards and the investigation conclude at "suicide" despite her mother's obviously aberrant behavior, complete with cops who berated her into claiming responsibility for her mom killing herself, futaba has concluded in her despair and frustration that justice is meaningless. it's all a game, a distraction, having fun with exercising power over others because real change is impossible — and if nothing can ever really change, well, she who dies with the most toys wins. hence the tomb: pharaohs were buried with their treasures, after all. futaba turned her hacker collective loose to fuck with people because she doesn't care any more, because every real change she tried to make as a hacktivist was undone by Anonymous going "lol" and amusing themselves. that's Medjed's ideology, the one she spreads. she's just idly looking for distractions from her neurosis, frustration and despair, and she'll die still distracting herself. (until she decides, no, even if it kills me i won't stop thinking — no, i can only die if i stop thinking — and pulls her own ideology, the foundational brick, out of her palace. she gives up power over Medjed and everything collapses.) her treasure is a top-of-the-line computer, one of those aforementioned toys, and a perfect distraction; she gives it up as unnecessary to the Thieves after her Palace is cleared. note the voluntary surrender of power to decide how others think! This Will Be On The Test!

Okumura's Palace is kind of thematically incoherent despite being cool, and also needs to be handwaved really hard with "futaba did research and figured out his keywords," so instead let's say that he's got a Lupin classic: the Okumura Foods corporate headquarters are a cult survivalist bunker in Kunikazu's head, sci-fi-inflected because that's still cool but still fundamentally about surviving what he thinks of as a coming economic apocalypse. you should be grateful for your spot (your job), even if maintaining the bunker means risking your life and you're constantly fighting and squabbling not to be booted out — out there, in the blasted, recessed jobless wasteland beyond the compound's walls, death is certain! only our supreme overseer Okumura can save us! for the sake of survival and safety, any price is justified! (this is how Okumura squares the circle on loving Haru and selling her off to her fiance: she should be grateful to be hitched to a safe bet, stored in a special well-appointed safety chamber even if it's agonizing to appease Sugimura, instead of risking it all for freedom in the world outside. and she reverses it on him: for the sake of her survival, her happiness, she can justify sacrificing him, too. if his betrayal of her is worthwhile, then so is hers of him. does he want to live in a world like that? or does he want to consider the possibility of another way?) His treasure... is probably some physical key to the okumura foods building, or a way of locking it down, or even a scale model of the building with plans to turn it into a sci-fi wonderland of safety come the end of times.

and of course Shido's thesis statement is obvious, and even vaguely pointed to in his Palace in canon: sacrifices don't matter. He can build a better society — he can save Japan from decay, economic degeneration, crime, whatever moral crisis he perceives, but only if he spends people, steps on their backs, rides his ship through a sea of frothing, half-liquidated bodies in pursuit of the Promised Land. include some elements of Arthuriana in his self-image here: Arthur chasing Avalon and, yes, the Grail. and the conceptual similarity here between his Palace's thesis and Okumura's, and to a lesser extent Madarame's and Jounodaira's, is because Shido's conspiracy is so powerful that he has a Palace of Palace-rulers: Shido moves the hearts of the powerful (who owe their power to him) and shapes how they think, such that everyone they rule over in their own Palaces ends up thinking like Shido, and winds up contributing another drop to his ocean and a little more power to his engine. Akechi himself has been taken in for some time as part of that Palace's walls, and even if he fights his father he replicates his methods and ideology unthinkingly: the sacrifices don't matter, as long as I can humiliate and kill Shido.

Also, if you're going to have an "await the change of heart" gun on the mantelpiece you had better damn well fire it eventually! So: Shido's change of heart doesn't take, exactly like everyone thought might happen every time. his Palace doesn't dissolve. he reaches Avalon, grounds his ark on the shores of the promised land — or, really, he sinks it and leaves its twisted, wrecked hull on the rocks, complete with a pile of Shadow corpses he literally steps on to get to the shore — and moves to claim the Grail. split up his boss fight: the Beast of Human Sacrifice happens on the Ark, but Senator Armstrong Shido fights you on the Isle of the Blest, instead, the grail a scant few feet away, granting him power. here Shido wears a robe and crown and carries an Excalibur which is thrown to him from a bloody Vivian residing in the sea of human sacrifices, and fancies himself True King, because all that matters is that this dissolute world have a ruler — someone to unite the countless, scattered, sinful hearts within it, instead of becoming satisfied with the lesser power and prestige of a Palace. the thing is that Shido's ark is the Titanic and he knows it — he's not just a grubby power-monger, he's a true idealist, passing himself off as corruptible, garnering information and getting the rich aboard his filthy party boat, so he can sink it with everybody onboard, wipe the slate clean of corruption, and rule over a reformed and united Japan with no crime and no disobedience. He's not going to rest on his laurels — he's planning a mass purge! Hence his retaining Akechi, not just his assassin and agent but his eventual kingslayer and executioner, the so-called Prince to Shido's own King.

the Trophy Room, incidentally, is diegetic rather than abstract and DLC-flavored here. the phantom thieves don't sell their treasures, they keep them — and the reality-distorting power of a Treasure, as wielded and directed by a proper Metaverse-user, expands Meta-Leblanc over time, forming a proper lair with individualized rooms for each Thief. (almost as if it were... a palace...) because as the Thieves decide how Palace rulers should think, changing their hearts, so too do they claim greater authority over how the Japanese public should think — until the Phantom Thieves' Trophy Room becomes Japan's single, unopposed ruling Palace, and its master, Joker, a single qualified candidate for the True King of all Humanity. hence the Grail's interest in him: out of all the possible kings it raised and discarded, of course it would eventually hit on one of humble origins. relying on pedigree, like it did with that Akechi kid, was always going to go wrong, in retrospect. the True King need only claim the Grail and be anointed, and the Thieves will be able to emerge from hiding to rule the world... and of course that's not a tolerable outcome, there are no virtuous kings who can rule unopposed, the Grail is only that desire to be ruled and freed from the agonies of making moral judgments for oneself, no single vision can unite everyone and if you meet the True King on the road, kill him.

and it all plays into the themes of control over public perception as an instrument of control more generally, of how the powerful curtail what possibilities seem available to the marginalized so that reclaiming power must happen on their terms, how power in the absence of accountability becomes monstrous even when wielded by virtuous people (not sure how I'd spin Maruki considering he's just objectively correct — the accountability thing is important but maybe we could stand to resurrect the dead sometimes instead of sticking to the status quo), how the phantom thieves' power is necessarily ambiguous and temporal and cannot become a governing principle, how believing in the phantom thieves isn't enough when what you need to do is believe in your own capacity to decide...

[thebeautyoffanfics]

If its alright, could I request headcanons of Aoi (female) and Tsukasa with an s/o who has absolutely horrible luck but doesn't realize it?? Like they could get struck by lightning, still be alive and go "ow, did I stub my toe?"

aoi akane x gn!reader, tsukasa yugi x gn!reader

a/n: sure thing!! Ahaonfkj y’all are honestly genius, this is me- i have suuuch bad luck- Haha, anyway, thank you so much for requesting!! <3

Reading these to check for mistakes, i realize how often i say “however” and “although”... my vocabulary is limited i’m sorry aonfonrf

warnings: none <3

word count: collectively, 851

Aoi Akane <3

I feel like Aoi has fairly good luck, so once she started to see how bad yours was, it was kind of surprising. Like, wow… (Y/N) really does have bad things happen to them a lot, huh.

However, once she mentioned it and got a “what do you mean?” in response, something else clicked. Wow… (Y/N) really does not realize they have bad things happen to them a lot.

While she does worry for you, it’s also pretty humorous at times, after she’s aware that you’re alright. Especially your responses to the situations- you were always so casually oblivious about whatever had happened, carrying on as per usual. It was cute in her opinion as well- just… funny.

“(Y/N)? Are you alright?” Aoi often found herself asking- even now, as you leaned over, your expression hidden from her. For a moment, she wondered if your bad luck had finally dawned on you, as a somewhat large tree branch sat next to you. Said tree branch had just managed to fall, hitting your shoulder and barely missing your head. She was sure you wouldn’t have been too seriously hurt, but the spot it hit was probably bound to be sore.

“I think an ant bit me!” You responded, looking up and pouting at Aoi.

All she could do was sigh and brush off your shoulder. “Ah. Then, do you need some ointment?” “Probably.”

As you applied the ointment from the nurse’s office to the small bump on your leg, Aoi found herself laughing once more. Truly, it was rare for someone with bad luck to not realize what bad luck they had. Normally, someone would be complaining about all the odds working against them, and yet, here you were- not complaining about nearly being bonked in the head with a tree branch, and instead pouting over an ant bite. It was amazing, in a way.

“Aoi? What are you laughing at?? It itches…”

“It’s not your bug bite, (Y/N). You just… amaze me sometimes.”

“Awh, thanks! You amaze me too!!”

While she wasn’t sure whether saying you amazed her in that way should be taken as a compliment or not, she’d let you have it. You deserved it, after all. Consider it a reward for dealing with all the bad luck you didn’t even realize you faced. Though all of her cooing, hugs, and affection was bound to make up for it as well- it was fine. Since, in her eyes, she felt like she was comforting you after something potentially scary. And, in your eyes, she was being a doting girlfriend <3

Tsukasa Yugi <3

I feel like Tsukasa simply… doesn’t understand bad luck. He can be seen as some kind of bad luck in and of himself, so! Where’s the harm in a little misfortune? It never killed anyone after all, right!

However, even your luck is something Tsukasa notices after a while. Sure, he heard Natsuhiko saying things like “(Y/N), you’re really an unlucky person” and “Tsukasa, stop, you’re just gonna add to (Y/N)’s bad luck” but bad luck was just in someone’s head, right?! Nothing as trivial as luck could stop Tsukasa!!

Clearly, it wasn’t going to stop you either! And that’s because you responded to all of Natsuhiko’s comments on your luck with “what do you mean? I don’t think I’m an unlucky person” and “even if I was unlucky, I would never consider Tsukasa a part of bad luck.”

Tsukasa watched as a stray bouncing ball rolled in front of you as you walked, and watched as you tripped and stumbled down the stairs. Of all the things that happened to you, Tsukasa found himself most concerned for your well-being at this one. He zipped down the stairs and instantly clinged to you, asking if you were alright.

You sighed, sitting up and placing a hand over Tsukasa’s arm. With a disappointed face, you held up a now broken pen. “I think I crushed it… man, I just bought it too...”

At that, Tsukasa was instantly less worried, and began to laugh. “(Y/N), you’re funny!” He laughed, squeezing you. “You’re cute too! Your expressions are very cute!! You’re completely oblivious too, that’s really cute!!”

“Oblivious of what?? People keep saying that, and I don’t get it?”

“Even to a supernatural, your luck is kinda,” He gave a thumbs down and stuck his tongue out a bit. To that, you sighed, standing up and tossing the pen in a trash can. “It’s not that bad though? I don’t get it?”

Then, as you were walking, you stepped on something, stumbling to the floor once more. Tsukasa simply looked at you, a curious look on his face as you rubbed your wrist which was sore from protecting your landing. You eyes landed on something, and you excitedly reached over and grabbed a bouncing ball.

“Look Tsukasa! If I’ve got such bad luck, then how could I find something like this just lying around?!”

All Tsukasa could do was laugh, hugging you tightly once more, as he continued to brag on how cute you were.

Tsukasa Shishio X fem Reader HCs

Self indulgent fluff/comedy fic... Also he has virtually no fanfiction... I can’t find more than like 5 of them on tumblr lol so imma change that! If you want more of him send requests.. But even if no one wants any I’ll still be spamming Tsukasa headcanons and stuff for a while!

Also I decided to try prompts! I got this one from a prompt generator

Prompt:  They meet when Person A sees Person B walk into a street sign. (Pre stone age 2.0 obviously)

Tsukasa sighed as he pushed a stray strand of his long hair behind his ear.

He slammed his physics textbook shut and stood up from his desk chair, tiredly stretching his arms. 

I should go to the store and get something for Mirai. Her birthday is coming up soon He thought before grabbing his keys and wallet and leaving the house.

As Tsukasa rounded the corner of main street he saw a young lady about his age panic sprinting down the sidewalk in the opposite direction, 

In her frantic state it seemed she failed to notice a very large stop sign. 

With a very loud metallic bang, she fell straight onto her butt...

Everything she once held earlier, flying in every direction.

She screamed out in frustration as she hurriedly gathered her things. 

Attempting to suppress his laughter, Tsukasa approached the girl. 

“Are you alright? Do you need any help?” He asked.

Her eyes widened as she searched for an answer. 

“I...Uh.. I’m alright.. I...Yea, I’d really appreciate some help collecting my things if it’s no trouble” 

Tsukasa nodded and started gathering her notebooks, pens and books.

He handed the pile of now slightly damaged and dirty stationary to her before getting up and brushing himself off. 

“I hope that’s everything” He said.

“Looks like it... See you around.... uh”

“Tsukasa, your name is Y/N right?”

“H...How did you-”

Tsukasa pointed at one of her notebooks where her name was printed in neat, legible writing.

“Right.... I forgot about that” she said, laughing. 

And with that, Tsukasa took off, but not before looking back at the girl and giving her a smirk and a wink. 

They would definitely meet again soon.
