constantly thinking about weird fucked up persona aus but mostly on the brain rn is p3/4 stuff. like for one a swap with the IT and SEES (like location and premise and all that) would be crazy but for reasons that I'll elaborate on in the tags it's not perfect. but what IS crazy to me and had been rotating in my brain is. the concept of SEES having shadows.

for a while I've been thinking of an au where the answer features their shadows. granted I haven't played/watched the answer but the concept is certainly really insane because the characters do have enough issues for it to be crazy. even by that time. there'd be general overarching themes of grief and loss between them all but also individual things (that some of them do mostly get over but still. this would be insane mid-game too) -- junpei's jealousy, akihiko's need to not lose anyone ever again, mitsuru's guilt and feeling like she has to make up for the kirijo group's shortcomings, etc. would be a hell of a time and I'd love to write this concept if I can thinknof things. talk to me abt ur thoughts on p3 characters having p4 esque shadows im thinking

it actually drives me SO insane crazy how similar chie and yosuke('s problems) are.

anyone who says they aren't friends or that they genuinely don't like each other don't Get It. they just haven't had a weird high school friendship where you're so similar you sort of hate each other, but also you can't Actually hate each other, because that would mean that you hate yourself (you do) and that you want to see yourself fail (you don't). yes, they wanna punch each other; yes, they're besties; yes, we EXIST!!!

they're both... kinda outcasts? iirc chie is somewhat popular, but she def gets shit for not being "feminine enough" esp in inaba. yosuke is yosuke. junes exists.

chie is labeled as a tomboy/masculine but she doesn't really want to be; yosuke isn't "feminine" per se, but he does generally lack more stereotypically masculine interests, even his role as a "bro character" is missing junpei/ryuji's specific type of 'masculine goofiness'(??), and he is disliked enough that i wouldn't be surprised if he was seen as a (im so sorry) "beta male."

they're both jealous of their best friends, Especially as paragons of femininity and masculinity. chie because it feels like something she can't have (esp as it relates to her sexuality); yosuke because he feels that he needs to attain masculinity for social capital (and to prove that he's straight and therefore 'normal').

and they know this about each other. they have one conversation in their first year and chie has his closeted ass clocked before yosuke knows what bi people are. yosuke sees the way chie looks at yukiko and is like "i've BEEN there" < doesn't even know its gay yet

but also yosuke loves running away from his problems and denying his feelings, meanwhile chie is one of like. three emotionally intelligent people in the investigation team. but also yosuke is smarter than her. this means they are the BEST people to torment each other. they commit gendered homo/biphobic psychological violence against each other at least three times a day. but if one of them hears someone talking shit about the other?? that clown won't see the light of day. only chie can shittalk yosuke. only yosuke can shittalk chie. the rest of the investigation team is on THIN fucking ice.

this is also why theyre not allowed to date btw (to Me). besides the fact that chie is Absolutely Not At All Interested in yosuke, and he'd only be interested in "dating" her to try to prove to himself that he's straight, the only ppl ive seen ship yosuchie are straight homophobic guys who hate their wives/gfs and misconstrue their entire dynamic as "they don't even like each other, they should date" which. die. if youre a yosuchie shipper and a normal person, i salute you, you ARE gods strongest soldier.

i'm struggling to word my thoughts but i feel like p4 encompasses persona's themes of friendship best tbh. like. THERE ARE LITERALLY TWO P4 SONGS (snowflakes and never more) THAT ARE BASICALLY JUST ABOUT YU LOVING HIS FRIENDS AND NOT WANTING TO LEAVE INABA CUZ OF THAT!!!!!!!!!!!!

"Silver, or gold?"

"Silver."/"Gold."

Yosuke and Yu paused to stare at each other as they answered in sync. Even Yukiko, who had asked the innocent question while holding some fabric accents for her family's inn, took a pause, snickering as the two boys stared at each other in surprise.

"Silver, Yosuke?" Yu tilted his head, genuine surprise peaking its head. Yosuke just shrugged, fully pulling his headphones off his head. "I would have thought you liked gold more."

"Oh, come off it, partner- Silver's where its at!! Most mens stuff is in silver!" Yosuke shrugged, holding up the silver ring on his middle finger as if it were proof. "Take it from me, silver is just shinier, better lookin!"

"Thats a shame, since yer totally a gold n' bronze person, Yosuke." Kanji wandered in from where he had been browsing the selection for Yukiko, gently placing the fabrics down— almost like they'd shatter into a million pieces if he went to fast. Yosuke just blinked at him, scoffing almost.

"Whaddya mean by that?"

"Gold would suit ya better, tha's all." Kanji shrugged, as if it were the most normal thing in the world. "Ya got a thinner chin, light brown hair, brown eyes, freckles n' shit— like a warmer tone skin a' well. Red undertone, or somethin'. So thin gold jewelry probably best for ya if we're ignorin your outfit."

They all just kinda stared at Kanji, who stared back at them before shrugging.

"What? I live in a textile shop. Whaddya expect?" He grumbled, rubbing at the back of his neck. "'S not rocket science."

"Wait, wait, so then what am I, Kanji?" Yukiko popped forward in interest, Chie's arm being snagged as she rounded around her underclassman. "What jewelry suits me best? And Chie!!"

Kanji took a simple look over, something calculative in his eye before he spoke.

"Probably thin silver shit. Black hair, cooler toned skin, also a narrow face shape, bigger eyes— stuff like silver decorative studs or a small chained necklace or somethin would work. Otherwise ya kinda just have to base it off your outfit."

He turned to Chie at Yukiko's behest, quickly turning the same judgement onto her.

"Rose gold or bronze, maybe. Chunkier stuff, to. Frames yer neck cause of yer short hair, warm vibe, yknow? Somethin a little on the darker side to contrast yer hair to." Chie looked pleasantly surprised and pleased by that at least.

"Wait, so what about Yu? Don't leave him out!" She was pretty quick to turn on their leader though, directing Kanji's gaze towards him. Yu blinked in surprise before their eyes met, and Kanji barely even took a few seconds before answering.

"Black or silver, easy. Got that cooler tone, but silver matches yer hair really well so black would probably be best to stand out, but silver would work to frame yer face. Ya'd have to break it up though, wardrobe stuff, yknow?" He shrugged, pink on his face and shoving his hands in his pockets. "It ain't that big of a deal, it just basic color."

Yosuke just had to glance at Yu.

Yu happened to glance back.

He cracked a faint smile, leaning over a little closer to his partner.

"You like silver?"

And Yosuke's face turned scarlet, head quickly darting away as Yu just began to chuckle.
