Persona 5/ Persona 5 royal spoilers ahead!

Okay so I did this WIP a while back that I discontinued but I'm still going insane about the meaning of it and also the symbolism of masks in this game and also akeshu parrallels so I need to Yap abt them

Yap session under the cut!

The symbolism of masks in this game drives my so batshit insane actually. Like. So often we see in media that people are finally free when they take their mask off (both metaphorically and literally) but in this game we see people's true forms when they put one ON.

Like the palaces are where we see people's true faces and desires. It's the place where no one can hide who they are. And yet it's one one place where you wear a physical mask and disguise and have to conceal who you are.

I could (and will at some point) write an entire essay about that but rn it's akeshu hours

Because Joker is arguably the best example of that, he becomes alive in the palaces, where his face his hidden. It's his freedom

Versus Akechi

The first time we see Akechi show his true form to Joker (and the player) is in what is percieved at the time as the real world. The entire time we work together in the palace, the place that shows who you are despite the mask you wear he hides who he is. It's only in the gritty real world that he reveals himself.

Joker in the real world is perceived (at least by people outside of his circle) as closed off and someone to be cautious around, he has a criminal record so he could be dangerous. The exact opposite of how he is in palaces, the centre of the team and a flame people are drawn towards

VERSUS AKECHI

In the real world he is a celebrity, he is loved, people are drawn to him. But in palaces he's cold and heartless, his words are cutting and he cares for no one, not hesitating to kill to achieve his goal

Opposites in every sense

THE ABSOLUTE PARALLELS IT DRIVES ME INSANEASHBANANSJAKSS

They were both ruined by the same man. They both ended up in their current predicament because of said man. They both had the potential to weild multiple personas. They both have the capability to lead. They are the exact same and yet the exact opposite

They don't need to lie awake at night and wonder what would they be like if their life had turned out slightly differently. They don't need to because they have each other. EVERYTIME THEY GO INTO A PALACE THEY SEE WHO THEY COULD'VE BEEN, THEY FIGHT WITH THAT PERSON SIDE BY SIDE EVERY NIGHT I'M GOING MAD

looping lower and the thing about lower that drives me up the wall the most in prsk is not anything in-game, but the anni lives! the anni lives.

in the second anni special stage during lower, there's always something, someone, some space, in-between mizuki and ena...

and then the dancers, the chars, rearrange themselves, leading into the great shout

there's only us!

and they remain beside each other, in some proximity for the rest of the song.

but then you have the third anni connect live, again you have some separation on different axes, meiko between them...

but they do move together.

and then! and then. mizuki moves away, back, as the others move forward closer to the audience, and kind of, falls in on themselves, hard to see but it's like they're covering their face with their hands.

and they do remain near ena and yet. that moment of pulling away, that wasn't there prior. there's Work in the prsk choreo and i'm so looking forward to the next anni's live, and to see how lower looks then.

Ok so I’m watching PBNT play Ace Attorney again

and I am just literally so flabbergasted at how creative these stupid, wonderful games are. Spoilers for AA 1-4//

So like… they’re at the part where they realize that Edgeworth couldn’t have fired the gun because the shooter was left-handed and Von Karma’s like “oh well if Edgeworth didn’t do it then who did???” And obviously you’re supposed to say “the victim himself” because that’s what Edgeworth told you earlier

BUT THE THING IS!! THAT IS THE ACTUAL ANSWER!!! Because the shooter (Yanni Yogi, currently presenting himself as Robert Hammond) is the same person who shot Robert Hammond, AKA HIMSELF

I never caught that before (even if it is something to “catch”) but man, these games kill me. I love them so much

oli saying pix should have kept the dress on after he died "because it showed off his assets" ok

[angelsaxis]

general rule of thumb is that an apostraphe is a place holder for a letter to shorten two words into one. so it is -> it's. they are -> they're. and so on.

if you can expand the word in a sentence into two words then it needs an apostraphe. ie "they're going to work", so "they are going to work". but "the shoes are over there" cannot be expanded to "the shoes are over they are"

I'm talking bags of chips, fruit, bottled drinks, things like that

skinny ppl learn to shut the fuck up when the conversation isn't about you challenge

[titanofthedepths]

Yes you’re not fatphobic but are you capable of talking about fat people in a positive manner without saying somft/round/rotund/squishy/tumby/chumby/any other variation of the sort. Are you capable of talking about us in a positive manner without it being about beauty or attractiveness. Are you able to talk about fat people in general without being dehumanizing or infantilizing. Can you treat fat people with respect.
