#Persona 5 headcannons

[persona5butitsincorrect]

Still taking spec character or ship hc ideas in my inbox btw,, I've been hella inactive on here :')

[may-lutlone]

I hate lineart - af, can't stand it. But I tried with the first one. With the second I didn't lol

[thatskyafro]

Whoever headcannoned Sae Niijima that she had a Neo-Featherman phase (and still has but not admittingly) and originated the 'super sneaky' book trick I love you.

[malware-program]

It’s been a while since I’ve done Persona 5 headcannons

- Yusuke dyes his hair blue

- Ryuji and Yusuke dye their hair together

- Haru after Okumaras space ship and before his death brings everyone treats as a thank you

- Akiren has accidentally called Sojiro dad

- Sojiro cried because that’s his kid right there

- Futaba has hacked into everyone’s history for blackmail

- if Akiren is from Inaba he definitely sneaks Morgana into Junes, gave a certain employee a jumpscare when the cat talked

- Makoto doesn’t know a lot of memes so she’s so confused when Ryuji posts them

- Ann gets drafted to help Ryuji and Akiren study for English tests

- Akechi has tried to convince himself that he hates Akiren while basically giving him heart eyes

- Zenkichi and Sojiro are definitely saved as “Wolf dad” and “coffee dad” in Akirens phone

[hellofuncat]

You mean…like a crow?

[transluscentcats]

I know that on a meta level the social stats at the start of persona 5 are that way so that players can have freedom and a sense of progression with the game but an in-universe explanation that I came up with is that the arrest really fucked with Akiren and decimated them.

Being expelled got him behind in school especially if you compare his presumably normal school to an allegedly prestigous one like Shijin.

There goes his knowledge stat

Being kind and brave by stepping in only got him hurt which killed his kindness and Guts stat, leading him to try and just "Keep (his) head down and worry about himself". Poor guy was so shaken by his arrest that he couldn't even maintain his persona in the beginning.

Getting arrested and sent to a new school where he was known as "the delinquent" likely killed whatever confidence he had so consider any confidence and charm gone.

Proficiency is more of a physical/technical thing so I fail to find a way for the arrest to have taken that away from him so I guess we can just headcanon that Akiren was bad with his hands before Morgana started showing him how to make infiltration tools.

Akechi Persona 5 is aplatonic

(Image ID: the aplatonic flag with Akechi on the centre. End image ID.)

[hauntingmiser]

Persona hc of mine that will possibly be good :

Maruki likes horror movies even though they're scary as hell for him, he still likes them.

( his favorite genre of horror is psychological horror btw )

[audoodle]

persona 5 party and how gay I think they are (also I get very distracted writing post canon ideas and write a lot about haru)

(also disclaimer I'm going to be describing anime girls as butch and femme I know that NONE of these characters are anywhere close to butch because the men who made this game don't know what that is. I'm talking pure head canons. I promise I'm not trying to convince you haru as she exists is butch)

joker - he's a he/him lesbian and if you don't see it I hope you get better.

ryuji - dude doesn't know what he is. people keep telling him he's bi and has had it explained many times but it doesn't add up in his brain.

morgana - your kitty hatred has blinded you from the fact that there's something gender in this cat. nobody knows not even him. nobody has really bothered to figure out.

ann - I could go one of two ways with ann. on one hand she's got like a real adult job and defined sense of style so I could see that just being how she carries herself for a long time but also she's like 17? I could easily see her having a breakdown and completely restyling herself into something more punk and alt because of how much of her image was built up by people not around her. oh she's a lesbian also but you knew that.

yusuke - the least gay. dude is like harry styles or that soccer mom that looks like a lesbian. he just dresses like that and is like "what??? no I don't like men how silly." maybe he'll like men later once he stops being absolutely weird to people and asking them to strip for him but right now he's the straight one to me. (am I a yusuke hater yes)

makoto - makoto is a lesbian and makoto is more femme than you think actually. like after she gives up on being a cop and decides to do literally anything else she relaxes and connects with a feminity she never got to fully explore. she can't really leave her old style behind fully and is probably ending up a he/she and just presents differently based on the day.

futaba - futaba is our most obvious contender for a trans woman lesbian as well as a character who's already trans before the events of the game but honestly imagining that I think that would mean she has the most awful 4chan brainworms about being trans and combined with her depression it she ends up with a lot of self loathing. it's a bad time and as makoto learns more about how she wants to present she realizes how insane futaba sounds (a fight breaks out when futaba calls makoto a theyfab).

or honestly? I can kind of see trans guy or cis ally lesbian futaba? like I could them being the absolute weird 4chan trans lesbian but I could also see her being the kind of girl who trans girls flock to because she's pretty and is also way too online. and then she's like mid 20s and is dating a trans girl she met off 2chan and being like "I used to say kek but if you call someone a passoid one more time I'm going to fucking destroy you."

haru - I said makoto was more femme than you think and maybe you saw this coming but haru is more butch than you think. similar to ann her entire aesthetic is built by what was expected of her and now that she's free of that she kind of accidentally falls into something more butch. I think an underrated aspect of haru's character is how much she enjoys violence.

like obviously we talk about sadist haru as a haha funny but I find something very compelling about the fact that haru has an intrinsic enjoyment of combat. other female characters like ann and makoto talk about feeling uncomfortable and scared in the metaverse while it seems to be a fantastic stress relief for haru. it's probably the most physical activity she's ever done. her satisfaction doesn't come from taking down a target (because you know. taking down her dad didn't go well and then after that she's in the endgame where it's really really do or die). it comes from the process of being in the metaverse and fighting shadows.

and she learns that working up a sweat, destroying things, and getting her heart racing are all things she learns are good for her mentally. after the events of the game when her outlet for that is gone she tries to find something more sustainable to do with her energy from fencing (a safe form of combat and competition), to weightlifting (so she build up more muscles now that she can't summon a persona), and finding something like axe throwing to do as a way to use an axe of some sort again.

I think her green thumb nature stops her form getting a lumberjack occupation so she doesn't get much excuse to use a full size axe and something more aggressive like boxing or MMA she doesn't actually have it in her to hurt someone else so intentionally like that. so she isn't fully back to where she was mentally when fighting shadows but its a routine that really works for her and allows her to relieve stress and gets her stronger so she can work on her gardening which gets more and more physically demanding as she expands her garden more and more.

I think one time the group meets up for the first time after a few months maybe a year and someone (probably ryuji) is like "damn haru you're like the most built of any of us now! right on man!" and haru is like "huh?" because she still sees herself as the way she had been set up to see herself for her teen years. she spends that night looking at old photos of herself and it finally hits her how much her freedom has changed her for the better. how when she was 17 she couldn't have imagined what she would be like now but now she can't imagine anything else.

I still think she dresses femme pretty often when she's going out to fancy parties for work or meeting up with friends. she hasn't given up anything from exporing this part of herself. she's just become a more well rounded (and far too busy) person.

oh uh where was I?

oh yeah she's bisexual. by the way.

akechi - oh this is a gay boy. he thinks joker is into him but joker thinks akechi is also a lesbian. like when akechi kills joker in the interrogation room he's like "so sad to kill the only gay guy I know my age. if things were different..." and then in third semester joker is like "I heard the recording. I'm a lesbian are you not a lesbian???"

yoshizawa - dog I don't know what her deal is. honestly I think she's straight. she doesn't seem like she thinks about romance enough to have an opinion so she's probably comphet.

sophie - she likes girls but doesn't know why. (I could probably write a lot of thoughts about sophia being an AI and how she sees love but the post fell off the rails once and I haven't played strikers since it came out so)

zenkichi - dude is too sad about being a single dad to realize he's probably bisexual.

Pegoryu Week 2023- Day 1 ( Actors Headcannons)

• When these two are working on set together they build an interesting chemistry, starting out as close friends but as time went on they eventually catched feelings for one another until they were ready and comfortable they confirmed to be dating.

• Ryuji and Akiren are currently in their early 20s in the AU and started filming on set together when they were 16 or 15 years old.

• Their relationship is described as the dog and black cat ( which is ironic since Ryuji has black hair and he does on some occasions dye it irl because he feels like it).

• Ryuji likes to be active and is currently recovering from a leg injury he had when he was younger but gives tips and encouragement along with showing different techniques when exercising but outside of that he's just a fun person to be around but kinda has trouble keeping quiet about spoilers.

• Akiren used to do theatre when he was younger and when big companies heard about his performances, they knew he had potential to expand that career. He plays off the charismatic phantom thief really well and gets satisfaction from letting that dramatic charm flow.

• At premieres, the two would definitely be playful around each other and while they'd do formal poses, they also do dramatic goofy poses.

• During the bloopers the scene where Joker reaches out to Sophia as she falls down the edge and Skull pulls him back from falling along with her has lead to multiple takes due to them breaking character.

( this isn't the first time something like this happened lol)

• They were playing roles of these two characters on set that develope a romance and there is a kissing scene that they understandably nervous about since it's their first one. ( mostly Ryuji)

• And I just see Ryuji being a blushing mess afterwards even though Akiren helped him relax but even he got a little flustered causing his glasses to fog up

[flare-the-freak]

Answer this is I need to know please

[malware-program]

I don’t know if people are sick of my headcannons

So have some more headcannons,

- Akirens eyes when using third eye glow yellow

- Futaba has a whole plushie corner, she will sleep in it sometimes

- Sojiro will check up on Akiren after his interrogation, he wants to know he’s okay

- Akechi can brew his own coffee, he just prefers LeBlancs

- Yusuke chews ice, doesn’t get why everyone tells him to stop

- Ann can Bake, she loves making muffins

- Makoto plays Minecraft, will get Ryuji to play with her

- Ryuji sometimes needs help getting around due to his leg injury

- Morgana when no one is around will knead blankets and pillows

- Akechi and Akiren will have cook offs, ending in messes and too much food

- Haru has a mini garden in her room

[mmmn-thirsty-for-vinegar]

-Rant about my headcannons(?) about Personas-

Humanizing Personas is one of my most favorite things to do. Personas being their own person with emotions, a voice and their own thoughts- an individual instead of a puppet. It makes me happy TvT

Personas are creatures born to protect or destroy. Loyal to their users and would go as far to kill anything (including humans) that threatens their user's well-being. If they are determined enough to protect their user they would even force themselves into reality. Although they have a hard time maintaining their form in reality.

Another headcannon that I absolutely adore is Persona's abilities bleeding into their users. Like this vv

Personas have a bit of a hierarchy going on. 3rd Tier Personas (like Messiah and Sataneal) are definitely on the top of that hierarchy, personal Personas tier 1 (Hermes, Izanagi, Io, etc) come in 3rd, tier 2 (Isis, Ceasar, Hecate, etc) is 2nd

The bottom of the hierarchy are personas like Pixie, Bicorn, PyroJack and so on. The higher the persona is on the hierarchy the more influence they have over other personas and are even able to deter the lower personas from picking a fight with them.

I think that's all I have right now

I'm sorry if some of these don't make sense, I'm very sick rn and have a hard time forming thoughts

Fav Characters

favorite thing about them

Ren- that he has more personality in the game than the past protags. His voice (eng), he's cute.

🤷‍♀️I just do.

Akechi- great character, voice (Eng and Japanese), cute

🤷‍♀️I just do.

least favorite thing about them

Ren- he doesn't get enough lines. We don't know much about him.

Akechi- we don't know much about him.

favorite line

Ren- "Pillage him, Satanael. "Begone". "You're right Mishima. We should take them down"(might not be the exact quote"). "See ya". "Before that happens we will take this country". "The Phantom Thieves are taking them back" (might not be exact). I like how he says "S's", like Succubus, Saki Matima. I like a lot of his quotes because he doesn't get too many.

Akechi- "And I hate cleaning out the attic". (might not be exact quote).

brOTP

Ren&Ryuji, Ren&Yusuke, Ren&Morgana

Akechi&Ann, Akechi&Futaba, Akechi&Yusuke, Akechi&Sumi, Akechi&Ryuji

OTP

Ren/Akechi, Ren/Sumi/Akechi, I do like Ren/Haru but not to the extent of the other ones.

nOTP

Ren/any adult, Ren/Makoto, Ren/Ryuji (I see him as more than a friend).

random headcanon

I believe Akechi's homeschooled. A. Shido has the money for it. B. No one knows where his school is or the name of it. C. No one recognizes the emblem on his jacket. Unless the school is some underground special ops place. You would think someone would've heard of it. D. No one, even celebrities, can miss that much school and not have to repeat grades or get kicked out.

Ren- He's from Inaba and had a personality more like Joker's before he came to Tokyo.

unpopular opinion

Ren's birthday is between 7-23 and 8-31 (Strikers timeline). He turns 18 during the game.

Akechi is not straight-up evil. He has more feelings than anger.

song i associate with them

Akechi- Shatter Me-Lindsey Stirling Feat. Lizzy Hale

Ren- Insane Dream- Aimer

favorite picture of them

I have Way more pics of Ren.

I like how the light shines in his eyes in the first one.

You really see him with short sleeves.

Yeah, it's just the box art for dancing. But I really like the dancing costumes and the pose.

He's so pretty. I mean, they both are.

I've never seen that swimsuit.

[samasmith23]

There is ZERO heterosexual way to interpret this! Joker & Akechi are clearly gay for each other!

It's "Honey I'm home" day. Persona 5 was a gay love story all along. I love Shuake.
