PINNED POST

Context for my blog:

I started this in 2020 following an intense hyperfixation based around what I dub the 'Kemamoto-mura gang': Keizou/Nathaniel, Fumiaki/Kenny, Yukiko/Lucy, Mariko/Kelly and Fuyunyan/Hovernyan - my main blog is @tousakamis , and my ao3 is @makochiu ! (with this in mind, please note many of my posts and older fics were written in 2020 and a lot has changed since this initial hyperfixation, but I keep things up for archival purposes!)

I often refer to characters with their Japanese names because I got into the franchise when the second games had only just released in Japan and thus the Japanese names just sort of stuck in my memory, but I will always respond to their English names (and for some characters I swap between the two)!

Beyond the Kemamoto-mura gang, my favourite characters are the Koma brothers, Hanako Noroino/Foiletta, Touma Tsukinami, Buck and Hailey-Anne!

I colloquially dub the 8th of February as 'Fumizou Day' as it was my first public post about the two characters which remain the center of my hyperfixation, so if anyone sees me talking about this please know it's more of a personal tradition than anything else - though, if anyone ever wants to join in even if it's just a singular post, I'd be absolutely honoured!

All my AUs are in this post!

While I do have posts exploring headcanons for the Kemamoto-mura gang on this very blog, it's been roughly four or five years since I first made those posts... I don't have much faith in 14 year old Alina to effectively demonstrate my headcanons and choices for this group of characters, and so I wanted to make a post offering quick summaries and explanations for anyone who may be confused or curious as to my choices.

I know as well that I am definitely not the spokesperson for these characters nor am I the only one to have headcanons for them (I might jokingly call myself the Fumizou CEO but that's been a running joke since I was once again 14), so please know my ask box is always open for people to ask questions and discuss/debate/share headcanons. This doesn't just count for the Kemamoto-mura gang either - while they are 100% my niche in Youkai Watch, I have a lot of untapped love for other characters and I'm always open to any questions or discussions!

Headcanons below:

Nathaniel Adams:

12 years old, lives by himself

Depending on the work, his parents are either wholly absent or only his mother is present - his parents are depicted as neglectful in my later works and his mother is depicted as abusive in earlier works (this, I will admit, was reflective of my youthful amateurish writing). This plays on the fact that in the whole second game, there is no mention or recognition of Nathaniel's parents being present or caring for him and it can therefore be presumed that Hovernyan is his only real support system. I often play on this as reason for him being very independent and determined to be a hero, because while it is canonically due to wanting to defend friends, I also like to factor in that he may feel as if he is all he has to rely on.

He can be quite snappy and rude, which leans close to canon, but I like to show him as being quite mellow or childishly playful around Hovernyan in comparison to others due to their closer bond

Kenny Forester:

12 years old, lives with family and moved to Kemamoto-mura at age 12

Can see youkai if he is a companion to Nathaniel and not the grandfather role - I wanted to play on the fact that he is Katie's grandfather and if you play as her he is gifted with that bond with youkai, and the fact that both Guts F and Guts K exist in later games such as Youkai Watch 3 rather than just Guts K being the 'correct' grandparent. Therefore, whether he has the watch or not, I wanted to write him with a unique bond with youkai either way; otherwise, what is the point of such a cute medallium entry? ("He was a boy that loved Yo-kai so much that he became one himself. That love still spreads through hundreds of Yo-kai friends.")

Friendly, playful, polite and enthusiastic to befriend Nathaniel, though... I try to write this in a way which makes him feel just as mysterious and confusing as it does friendly and endearing. In every work of mine, I try to give him this somewhat unsettling and confusing air - like, why CAN he see youkai, why is it that in every universe par the canon one he is drawn to the one boy destined to create the youkai watch, what is his whole deal? I want it to feel as if his existence is an unanswered question sometimes, but Nathaniel is too happy to just have a friend that he doesn't pry. I guess this plays into the fact that he's, in itself, an alternative universe watcher and he doesn't exist in what is classified as the 'correct' universe with Nate as the protagonist? Therefore he's not really meant to exist in Nathaniel's universe anyway, but despite that, he perseveres.

He and Kelly are the two characters which veer most into OC territory as I wanted them to feel different from Nathaniel/Lucy, but I do try to lean into canon elements of his personality as well, like the way he bickers with Nathaniel and a passion for moxie/guts and stuff like that

Lucy Adams:

12 years old, Nathaniel's neighbour and childhood best friend

She remains fairly close to canon in all my works - a sweet, friendly girl that sticks close to Nathaniel and teases him just as much as she cheers him on, also with a weirdly unexplained bond with youkai (because loving a watcher does that to you!)

However, in quite a few of my works, I try to play around with her character since she and Kelly don't have all that much in canon to work with in the first place - I like to show her matching Nathaniel's adventurous spirit and fierce moral code of defending people, for example. I want to explore her more, so perhaps I'll update this in future with more little tidbits about her character?

Kelly Forester:

12 years old, Lucy's classmate who has lived in Kemamoto-mura her whole life

I headcanon her as a trans girl with a fierce defensiveness over Lucy and a playful one-sided rivalry with Nathaniel which usually just leads to banter and teasing. Her transness is, in part, a headcanon which stemmed from my own untapped gender issues as a teenager, so it's one of those which has just always stuck because while I'm transmasc, having a character to weave the beauty of transness in youth into is very meaningful to me :-)

In my works she and Kenny... don't really interact that much? This was a completely unintentional thing, and while it definitely brings up questions of continuity in the grand scheme of things (like how tf does Katie exist), we ignore that. I'll probably play around with their bond more in my works! She and Kenny are the ones that feel most OC-like but I try to draw on canon alongside headcanons LOL

Hovernyan:

Nathaniel's best friend and youkai companion through thick and thin

One of my favourite things to do with Hovernyan is place that silly, bantering and ridiculous side of him shown in the movie and sometimes in the games next to a wistful, deep, brooding wanderer with a lot under the surface (which is brought to the light because of how a wandering spirit stayed stagnant for his human friend). He and Nathaniel have a bond which is rich in potential, namely in the forms of angst, and I like to play on the fact that they both adore each other and bring out the best in each other when they play around but also that underlying awareness especially on Hovernyan's side that their time is limited and Hovernyan just wants to care for Nathaniel and keep him safe while also not messing with fate too much.

Therefore, he will sometimes go on wistful, deep analysis's of his friend in my fics, right before going back to banter and teasing. I like to position him as a more logical and 'intelligent' figure than Nathaniel but also demonstrate that he, too, is just a silly goofball underneath that guise of put-togetherness

sharing this from my twitter but this made me laugh so hard. heres the full pic and my own translatkons

BTW translations by me. im still learning so apologies for any incorrect translations

Q.05 "from those who appeared in the series, who would best suit a bridal gown?"

Poll results:

1. Naoto and Yukiko - 37 Votes

3. Persona 4 Protagonist - 24 votes

4. Nanako - 21 Votes

5. Chie - 19 Votes

6. Rise - 12 Votes

7. Yukari - 11 Votes

8. Kanji, Yosuke and Kuma (Teddie).... - 10 Votes

11. Mitsuru - 9 Votes

12. Maya - 3 Votes

Passage Translation (Not literal.) :

"Yukiko and Naoto are both 1st place winners for this situation match!

it was impressive that many comments expressed how yukiko would look good in both western and traditional clothing. A real personification of an ideal Japanese women, right?

On the other hand, notable comments about Naoto, expressed an opinion that she would look good in both groom and bridal outfits!

Many said they want to be the ones to marry them! "

for those wondering, this is taken from the Persona Offical Magazine #08 from the online questionnaire section!

[iwoulddieforienzo]

Something really great about the persona 2 cast is that they all individually fucking SUCK to talk to casually. Every single one of them. They are all infuriating. We have:

Tatsuya, who will stare at you blankly if you try to initiate conversation (IS) and will dip without saying a word afterward (EP)

Batsuya, who will scoff and brush you off/otherwise act dismissive

Eikichi, who might honestly be the best to talk to in the IS crew and that is not saying much, who WILL talk extremely loudly over you (probably not on purpose?) and will not be paying particularly close attention to the conversation beyond whatever he wants to say (gets points for talking about his gf. gets points taken away for constantly talking about his gf)

Lisa, who will automatically assume bad faith and will be rude to you the entire conversation unless you manage to defuse her temper (good luck)

Jun, who is uncommunicative at BEST and requires an encyclopedic knowledge of flowers, metaphor and body language just to get a HINT on what he’s thinking, and who will be extremely polite but completely unhelpful. If you tried asking him what he wants for dinner I guarantee it will be the longest 30 minutes of your life as he goes “oh I have no opinion :) whatever you want. :))” EXCEPT HE DOES HAVE OPINIONS. He has SO MANY OPINIONS. He is Expecting you to be able to pick up on his “obvious” clues. He will be passive aggressive if you don’t. (Jun babygirl you suck so bad I love u)

Maya, who is a delight but will very quickly become grating if you try to talk to her about anything serious as she hits you with the white suburban mom's "how to live a happy, healthy life" lifecoach slogans. You can’t even mention, like, stepping in a puddle or something without her hitting you with the positivity beam.

Yukino is great actually. 10/10. She’s fabulous we love her. Incredible conversationalist, chill and fun and easy to get along with. But she’s from Persona One, she doesn’t Count.

Ulala, who WILL bring up her relationship problems in every conversation within 10 minutes at least once. Any longer and she will start talking about Maya.

Do I even need to explain Baofu. Have you seen him.

And finally, Katsuya, who is a cop and a kiss ass and Very Obvious about these things. Also he can't talk to women. He can barely talk to men. Help Him.

And yet they all work wonderfully as a group. They are so annoying I love them

[hotarufutaba]

persona 4s (mostly arena stuff) and other guys

[katsona-the-katsequel]

Currently reading the Tsumi ga Ataeshi Batsu novel and the Maya+Ulala and Yukiko+Chie parallels are strong.

You are my best friend and I love you but I don't fully understand you. I want to be you to the point of resentment but would never say anything. I want to be with you because otherwise I would be completely alone.

Hmmm...

[druvjelly]

Oh yeah. For the final, mention them in the tags

To give you some more perspective:

The oldest confirmed Persona user (Boafu) is 33 years and 9 months older than the youngest (Sumi).

Tohru Adachi is just two years the Persona 2: Innocent Sin cast's junior.

Katsuya Suou is turning 50 next year (2023).

The only confirmed S.E.E.S. members that are not yet in their 30s (this 2022) is Junpei, Ken, and maybe Koromaru [if he's still around which I hope so].

Sojiro Sakura might be the same generation as the Persona 2: Eternal Punishment cast.

Ryotaro Dojima (1970) is the same generation as the P2:EP cast and is three years younger than Boafu, and three years older than Katsuya.

Reiji Kido's child is probably the same age as Ken Amada and the Phantom Thieves.

Please send in any additions or corrections! I'll edit this the list if necessary.

Round 2!

This one is a little shorter as we feed in the characters absent from the last round.

Link for full bracket here!

Rules

Vote for who you think is more queer/gay (doesn't matter if you think they're bi, pan, gay, lesbian, etc. Who's the most not straight!)

I will allow propaganda in the form of asks or notes (tags and comments) or reblogs.

Be nice and respectful. Not everyone has the same headcanons.

Remember, this is mostly just for fun! We have a few submitted characters for this exact purpose, so don't take things too seriously. (It doesn't matter what the results are, most persona characters will be queer-coded in my heart)

The torii that he had seen before marked a set of stone stairs that led up to the proper shrine. On the lowest step, right at the entrance, a child was sitting, with short black hair that tended to twist sideways and bundled in a warm jacket with a purple scarf. He was holding what looked like an open bottle of pear juice in one hand, carefully pouring its content in the cap that he was holding with the other.

He was also covered in what looked like at least a dozen bright yellow butterflies, four of them on his hand, politely waiting for the cap to be full of delicious juice, while the others were either quietly resting on top of his head or hanging from his back.

Takuto frowned.
