The persona 5 Akechi Lives Thought Process:

Easy answer. Death in the metaverse isn’t real. Akechi doesn’t die he’s just to embarrassed to show his face.

Complicated answer in which Akechi DID die but gets revived:

Tricker’s have power-more than most. It’s heavily implied that that power, or desire for change, can have tangible reality altering effects. This appears to be a separate power from a wildcard’s power

It’s also a known fact that A.) wildcards in and of themselves are incredible powerful and B.) their bonds are what give them powers.

Now. Hear me out. Guests of the velvet room are supposed to sign a contract, right? Taking responsibility for their actions. In my mind, this perhaps binds a wildcard into not using the power to alter the consequences of their decisions. Makes sense, yes?

Aright but wait up. Joker, due to the strange nature of his fool’s journey, never signed a contract.

Akechi, who is a wildcard but was never a guest, also didn’t sign a contract.

At the end of the game, following Maruki’s defeat, Joker obtains the world arcana. Since, in persona, arcana translate directly into power in many ways, it’s not too much of a stretch to say that by obtaining the world, Joker has also obtained great power.

Now. Back to the contract. That exists to ensure that after everything, a wildcard is still bound by the decisions made when said power wasn’t available to them.

A contract Akira didn’t sign which means realistically, he can use this metaphorical ‘power’ however he wants. We don’t know what the limits are but I’d imagine that it’s not a particularly effective power in a stable, non-cognitive world. I would also imagine that World Power or not, it would be incredibly difficult to impose any sort of unwanted will upon a wildcard.

But the velvet room is cognitive, and in that split second between when Maruki’s reality collapses and the old reality snapping back into place, everything is in flux and most definitely not stable. Along with that, we know that Akechi and Joker have a shared wish.

(This leads to the reasonable conclusion that Akechi did not want to die-he just knew that death was preferable to the so called ‘perfect reality’. If there had been possibility for him to come back to reality alive without consequence, there is nothing that leads us to believe he would refuse that consequence.)

So. How does this result in Akechi being alive?

Reality is unstable, Akira has the power of the world in his grasp, and he shares both a blood oath and a desperate wish with Akechi, a fellow wildcard.

In this very specific instance, there wouldn’t be a single thing powerful enough to stop that wish from being granted.

Hence Akechi’s continual survival (to the confusion of everyone involved, since of course all of the things that lead to it happened subconsciously on the parts of all parties.)

Happy two year anniversary to Pokémon Legends Arceus! Thank you for bringing back my interest in the Pokémon franchise from the dead, you funky little video game. I hadn't played a Pokémon game since ORAS and I thought "eh, it'll probably be a mess like I heard about the other recent games" and WHOOPS, now it's up there as one of my favorite Pokémon games alongside Pokémon Snap and Pokémon Emerald. God do I hope we get more games that use PLA as a base to build off of.

Also thank you for the Train Guy Obsession very cool

Submas Emmet fate brothers AU

I’ll be honest, I am terrible at drawing. This is a Submas AU I made. Here’s the link below for the description:

Emmet has two forms and he’s not possessed by Giratina, kinda, but whatever you may interpret it. Emmet is mostly in control, Giratina in the backseat teaching him how to manifest portals for convenient transportation, the ability to fly, utilize his move sets and purify wild angry Pokémon in the Hisui region. He’s not alone as he has his pokemon with him to battle his way to victory!

Snowglobe cake for the Winter Wonders event in Pokemon Go! ☃️

I loved the idea of a little winter wonderland captured in a slowglobe - then captured in a cake! 🎂

Piping a Pokemon with icing often helps me really appreciate it, and I think I may be a Cetoddle fan now! Both Pokemon were made in a 3D style inspired by @miscellaneousmao's recent Pokemon holiday cake, and WOW does it take time and patience! 😳 We baked this live on our weekly Pokemon baking Twitch stream, and it took soooo long, but I really enjoyed the challenge and love the results. 😁

I hate it when people refuse to purify their Shadow Pokémon in Pokémon GO.

Like.

BITCH, YOUR SHADOW POKÉMON IS CANONICALLY IN A STATE OF PERPETUAL RAGE AND AGONY. PURIFY THE POOR THING ALREADY, EVEN IF IT LOOKS COOL AS HELL AS A SHADOW POKÉMON. END THE CREATURE'S TORTUREEEEEE
