can i draw your shadow suppression unit goro... [imagine like 300 more ... here but tumblr won't let me do that]

omg id love that !!! yes feel free to :D

[celosia-parade]

When getting dressed today I had to pause to consider how my clothing would all 'pair' with my body as an Anti-Shadow Suppression Weapon. I tried to imagine that underneath the shoulders and sleeves of the jacket were mechanical shoulders, which perhaps would jut slightly upward -- the fabric crinkling in looseness with arms held at some angles, oddly taut at other ones, in the way a human shoulder would not affect the jacket. It was... really actually fun to spend a moment imagining how things would feel in my ASSW/robot body. I wondered if animal otherkin ever do that with their outfits, then imagined a dragon in a turtleneck sweater and my day was quickly made by it...

Some Ergo Lore!

Disclaimer: I’ve been staring at both this and my cacophony of assorted AoN notes for too long, so if something doesn’t make sense in it, just let me know and I’ll do my best to clarify it.

(Additionally, stuff like the metaphysical aspects of how Evokers work and more on how they’re used for research are still in the works, so I’ll likely be including those in different lore docs later on. /o/)

[humanities-companion]

people found my old ASSW Kotone and gave me the motivation to draw her again! haven’t worked on that specific au in forever but I HAVE worked on a arcanaswap one I used the same design in.

A-TA for eat-ng my mo-ra-ls old coupons and magaz-nes?

Me (6 sweeps ftm, cobalt) and my mo-ra-l (6.5 sweeps m, cobalt) LOVE go-ng over to each others h-ves, but somet-mes th-s leads to messy sleepovers where one of us -s half asleep or someth-ng blah blah.

Anyways, my mo-ra-l has a TON of old magaz-nes, and I l-ke to eat magaz-nes. You th-nk th-s would be a w-n w-n s-tuat-on, but NO! He sobs every t-me he sees me eat-ng one of h-s year-old coupons and magaz-nes. -ve eaten some of m-ne -nfront of h-m and he doesn’t seem to be bothered, but he starts absolutely sobb-ng h-s eyes out when -ts one of h-s!

I dunno what to do! Am I an asshole for eat-ng the old th-ngs? Would I be an asshole to cont-nue eat-ng the old th-ngs? Am I not a sh-tfaced assw-pe for th-s? -m start-ng to th-nk my mo-ra-l has a hoard-ng problem I was too th-ck to catch -f -m be-ng honest

Ship bias for Teddie

Send ‘Ship Bias’ and I will share up to 5 Ships I have a bias for for my muse!

((All platonic ships here. Power of friendship!

I think Teddie and Aigis could be amazing friends. Out of all the P3 crew I think Aigis is one of the ones Teddie would talk to the most. They have similar struggles as two non-humans learning to fit in and could have really interesting conversations on the value and meaning of life. I also want them to use their status as an ASSW and a shadow for jokes and to mess with people.

Rounding up all the IT boys with Teddie and Kanji. Teddie, for all his teasing, is happy to spend time with Kanji. He’s completely comfortable around him and enjoys their play time. I can see their relationship improving even further since they’re both staying in Inaba for the long term and I headcanon them going to Yasogami together for a year. They can do arts and crafts together! Teddie also stands by Kanji and helps him be himself around others.

Next member of Team Inaba! I’m going with the strictly platonic ship of Teddie and Yukiko. Once he accepts that she’ll never be into him romantically and that all the love he had for her is platonic, their relationship has nowhere else to go but up. They can joke around and play, Teddie making up new jokes and funny glasses for her. Silliness and helping Teddie with his people skills. As with Kanji, Teddie is also starting to associate himself with the other young business heirs since he’s already assuming he’ll inherit Junes someday.))

trying to think of names 4 my characters before its too much of a pain in the ass to find and edit the posts but i cantttt

[saewokhrisz]

Not a question, more like a lot of statements but omg I love your art style so much! Especially your Shuake art! It has so many good qualities but my favorite is your use of red for lighting, it really gives your work a hypnotic, yet tense feeling which is perfect for that ship!

I also wanted to say that your drawing of Akechi as an Anti Shadow Suppression Weapon has infected my brain. Your design is so cool and the au is so interesting! I just love the idea of Akechi's pre-set personality being his just, princely persona. Then as he starts becoming self aware that he was created to do other people's dirty work he becomes the bitter, unhinged Akechi that we all know and love!

Thanks for all your hard work!

AWW TYSM )--)0 sometimes i think i overuse the red highlights or makes my art too samey but i cant get free from the clutches of persona 5 colour scheme BWAHA

and god yes i am particularly proud of the ASSW akechi, his princely theme fit so much with aigis' colour it was like fate, not to mention im so affectionate towards nonhuman characters and i love that he becomes more cold and rational than goody-two-shoes original form he was programmed as !!!

HC || SIBLINGS

Sousei's treatment of his siblings is... Poor, to say the least. But it's not becauses he dislikes or hates them, it's not because he doesn't feel anything fraternally for them. It doesn't make it acceptable, but the reason he can be so unreasonable and mean is because he's seething with envy; the weight of his apparent inadequacy & uselessness, the fact that he's a failure, worse than worthless.

Being the only one of the still-active ASSWs without a combat Persona weighs on Sousei so heavily, because he knows for a fact that the only reason he exists, that any of them exist, is to combat Shadows. As far as he's concerned, his Tsukuyomi (which cannot even throw a punch) makes him equivalent to scrap metal.

Never mind the fact that he's physically strong, such that he can pull shadows apart with his bare hands.

Sousei's treatment of his siblings improves dramatically later in their shared existences, when he finally comes to terms with the fact that his Tsukuyomi cannot be used for combat; but what it can be used for is just as valuable, if not more so! And he deeply, deeply regrets his attitude towards them.

He apologises.

A lot.

for some reason, every time you type out AITWW, my brain, without my consent, translates it as Am I The W-assW-hole instead of And In The Waking World

[AoN] PxDN Lore Snippet: R-00 + R-01 Reactivation

Yep, I read Persona x Detective Naoto, and yep, I'm incorporating it into this story. Why? ‘Cause it’s not a bad read, and more importantly it’s got a lot of feasible world lore I can use to enrich the setting, of which I can do all sorts of fun stuff with. Also, Sousei and Sho share a lot of similarities in terms of circumstances and behaviors, so any chance for him and Sholar to cross paths has lots of fun potential as well, even if it's only once.

Anyway, this is just a little snippet from the full AoN-PxDN lore doc that I'm getting straightened-up, 'cause I'm excited about how nicely I got it to fit together. \o/

Spoilers for: Persona x Detective Naoto, Persona 3, Persona 4 Arena/Ultimax, and my fic "Apropos of Nothing" (very mildly though, otherwise I wouldn't be posting it xP)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

(For quick reference, the R-series ASSW project spanned from roughly 2006 to 2009, with Sousei's run being from 2007-2008, Ai's spanning 2008-2009, and their endings being Yūri's death and Aigis's reactivation respectively. SEES is first founded in Spring 2006 (being Mit/Aki/Shinji), and P3 happens as normal from 2009-2010. The 7th Gen ASSW project also ended with the explosion & creation of the Dark Hour on Sept 10th, 1999.)

So, several times throughout 2011, Minazuki accesses Ikutsuki's isolated server + the Ergo database server in general, with the first instance of the latter catching the ShadOps/KJG's attention. A bit spooked by the unauthorized access, everything related to Ergo (both current and old) is given a thorough security check, resulting in the discovery of 3 ASSWs sitting around in storage, among other things.

(Note: the database server access happens differently in this AU, so up until now, Minazuki had been accessing the isolated server legitimately via Ikutsuki's whitelisted computer with admin credentials, and then attempted to access the general server with an unregistered device. I still have to learn how databases work though, so I might have to adjust that in the future.)

Pretty much no one seems to know much about this mysterious 5th Gen and two R-series androids, despite there actually being a decent bit on information on-file for the latter once they decrypted it, and so, alongside a bunch of other old Ergo artifacts, the three are shipped out to the Yakushima Ergo quarantine facility for inspection and threat assessment. Some of the staff who were cited to work on the R-series are also contacted by Mitsuru to get further information.

(Note: unlike OG, the transport goes smoothly, because canon-divergence. /o/)

Mr. Tsuge Tetsuma has been employed as a researcher in the Kirijo Ergonomics Robotics Division for a long time now, but more importantly since the R-Series project was abruptly halted and its products stuffed away into storage. Now, he was nowhere near happy about having to leave Sousei and Ai in there for all this time, mind you, but he didn't have the authority nor the opportunity to get them back out of storage on his own, and so it was all he could do to stick with the company until an opportunity might arise. Getting a phone call from Mitsuru provided one such opportunity.

With the aid of Tsuge, the three ASSWs are reactivated and inspected, and once Mitsuru learns that they're not threats and are sentient beings with "hearts" of their own, they're given official rank as auxiliary members in the ShadOps to keep Public Safety from trying to confiscate them on the grounds of being "highly dangerous weapons". And… I guess I haven't figured out the specifics beyond that point yet, like if they actually help out the ShadOps or not. I feel like they might given Sousei’s determination to prove his usefulness and Ai’s desire to help out overall, but Sousei’s determination to have a combat-type Persona might also undermine that? Anyway, Tsuge is also brought into the fold as an official ShadOps researcher and tasked with being the supervisor of the Kurogamis due to his past experiences and relations with them and their creator.

(Fun fact: the reactivation order goes Ai, Sousei, Labrys because they have more information on, and familiarity with, the R-series units than the 5th Gen unit, so there's less risk involved with activating the Kurogamis than there is with Labrys. (Plus, in the event that Labrys ends up being hostile or out of control, the Kurogamis could be called in to help suppress her.) Also, Tsuge knows that Sousei will be rowdier than Ai, so as one of the chief specialists on the team, he's making the executive decision to give the team the ‘easier’ one to start with, lol.)

A year passes (which is what makes up a lot of Sousei's impression of "smoldering away at a lab, not yet fulfilling his mission as a suppression weapon"), and in late 2012 the National Police Agency entreats the KJG for technological aid in civilian safety and law enforcement measures. With the Kurogamis’ robotic physique and Sousei’s Past Reading in mind, this opportunity gets presented to Tsuge and the Kurogamis, of which Tsuge eventually gets Sousei on board with when he learns that they can be stationed at Yagokoro's PD, where Aoi Touko works. Ai didn't really need a ton of convincing, being content to be wherever Tsuge and Sousei are and determined to help out where she can.

(Note: part of the "last year's brutal crimes" is influenced by the Inaba kidnapping and murder cases, as it caused quite a stir across the nation, though the other part is probably more mundane, non-magical crime. Also, other technology and robotics were implemented in other PD's across Japan, but Yagokoro was the only one to make use of ASSWs specifically.)

And from there, PxDN happens more-or-less as normal, although certain events may or may not have Naoto meet the Kurogamis and/or Tsuge before PxDN occurs. It depends on if they end up staying on Yakushima for the whole time or if they go to an Ergo or ShadOps facility on mainland Japan, and furthermore if it happens to be the one Naoto visits or not. Most likely, if they do cross paths at all, it'll be brief, or else an off-handed mention of them by someone else, but I'll have to see as I solidify more of that part of the timeline. P:

Also, Tsuge’s employment with the ShadOps lets him distribute Evokers to Touko and Naoto during PxDN’s events, perhaps special models more recently designed for use outside of the Dark Hour/CoUn, because they really shouldn’t be able to summon their Personas so casually in the conscious world. It’s somewhat believable for when Naoto Awakens to Amatsu Mikaboshi and when she’s trying to save Touko, given the circumstances, but outside of that. :P
