Ryuji is such a guy who is considered to be the most delightful well-mannered kind handsome young man by all the little old ladies that live in his neighbourhood ☝️ other people might think he's some sort of delinquent but they've all seen him grow up playing in the street and he's helped all of them cross the road or carry their groceries, so they be knowin that his heart is actually good, and the amount of cheek pinches and containers full of baking he gets from it really show for it
#thats it thats the thought#i just like that image :]#ryuji sakamoto#persona 5#p5#skaterboy speaks#about: ryuji <3

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
#long post#Nanjo and Elly don't count btw#hi I fucking adore them#I missed them <3 Suou Brothers crawling back into my brain#Persona 3-5 have a very charming casts that are easy to like immediately. Persona 1 & 2 are filled with the most annoying bitches alive#exaggeration obviously. not by that much tho#persona 2s cast in particular is very charming. when they're TOGETHER. Individually? Wellllll...#hmm something about p2s cast in particular feels less. gimmicky? I guess? than the newer persona games#which isn't to say that those casts are worse or that the p2 cast ISN'T gimmicky because they are#but idk. you kind of always know how Ryuji or Ken or Yukiko will react to a situation. but the p2 cast may surprise you#again: doesn't make any of the later casts bad! I absolutely adore them. That you can predict them is evidence of strong character writing!#The p2 cast just feels a little more fleshed out is all. probably because the lack of social links means they're able to progress#throughout the story and change without worrying about conflicting with a link yanno?#I love social links though I think they're a great edition!#They need their kinks ironed out a bit but Yosuke has already proved that they are absolutely capable of working hand in hand with the#development of characters in the story as well#and theyre still fun even when they don't impact the story. I like getting to know side#characters too! (Naoki and Ei and Ai and Daisuke and Kou and the old lady and Akinari and-)#tag ramble#persona 2#tatsuya suou#eikichi mishina#lisa silverman#jun kurosu#maya amano#yukino mayuzumi#ulala serizawa#baofu#katsuya suou#Also um. hi. Its been a while lol

#i love him so much rgg bring him back i know you want to#THRICE I HAVE BEEN RYUJI FISHED. THRICE.#also i will be taking no criticisms he is the best. say what you want about nishiki and mine but ryuji is just top tier#i love both of them as well and they’re also incredibly good antagonists but THEY’RE NOT RYUJI#and if you think about it the only really good antagonists are in 1;2 and 3 apart from shishido#shibusawa is a bit dead#don’t get me started on 4 i hate everything about the final bosses of that game#5 was dead#6 was dead#masato was alright he’s up there#ebina and dwight were tragic 😭😭😭#ryuji barely fucking shows up and he’s just that good 😭#i need justice for my queen he needs to come back#zad talks#yakuza#rgg#ryuji goda#goda ryuji#yakuza 2#yakuza kiwami 2

old yosuke/yusuke outfit swap doodles i did simply because their names are one vowel apart
+ swapped all of p4 and p5's clothes for fun after! it's kinda interesting to see how much clothes affect a character's vibe.
when i originally posted these some people pointed out ryoji/ryuji and the makotos, so i did a quick doodle of them too. quality dropped a bit on this one though
#persona 4#persona 5#and just a smidge of#persona 3#fan art#my doodles#i do like that ryoji gets skull motifs if he switches with ryuji - grim reaper at your door with a lead pipe#i also think about the ysukes switching styles and interests but not personalities.. yosuke drawing chie bad on purpose. yusuke grooves#old stuff repost queue

I’m not sure if this has been said before but I find it very interesting how differently the writers of persona handled Junpei’s character in comparison to Ryuji’s. With the role of the mc’s best friend and mostly comic relief, I find the two of them to be the most similar personality wise compared to either of them with Yosuke so this analysis will only be discussing the parallels and differences in the way the story handles Junpei and Ryuji respectively.
To me, Junpei is handled pretty sensitively by the writers (not as much as he could be or should be, but still a lot more than most would expect given his trope); he’s given a lot of character with the introduction of Chidori and we see how he grows to like her as he gets to know her. I’ll admit it’s been a while since I played 3 so take this with a grain of salt but from what I recall, his and Chidori’s relationship gets quite a bit of screen time and development in the main story in a way that gives us a different perspective of how Junpei normally operates around the other members of SEES. With Chidori, he isn’t the class clown or the idiot of SEES, he’s simply a teenage boy who falls for a teenage girl. To me, there’s not much more humanising than that. After her presumed death, Junpei loses it and sinks into a depression, and when he finds out she’s alive, albeit her memory lost, he does his best to help her recover and grapples with the moral implications of her regaining her memory. (I think at least one can’t really remember).
This relationship is important to the story and gives us another, much more sympathetic view of Junpei’s character who, up to this point in the game, had mostly been kept in a box marked “comic relief pervert”. You root for Junpei and Chidori’s relationship because it is clearly shown how much Junpei adores her and not once after he meets her does he stray from this love for her.
It’s not only Chidori’s character that makes Junpei’s character more sensitive either, I find that his general personality and relationships with other characters to be handled better as well.
We have his friendship with Yukari (aka Yuka-tan) which I’ll begin by saying also isn’t perfect, Junpei oftentimes falls into the perverted trope so many of the male characters fall into (such is life with Atlus) and he definitely makes comments towards her that most friends wouldn’t and yeah that isn’t good, but I think Yukari gives it back just as much as Junpei dishes it out and never takes him too seriously. I get the impression that that’s just how their friendship works, it’s a constant push and pull, a give and take between them, they both take every opportunity they get to tease each other mercilessly and it works. It doesn’t feel one sided in the way that Ryuji’s interactions with other members of the phantom thieves tend to feel but I’ll get more into that later. His friendship with Yukari may not be the most noteworthy part of his character, but it’s something I think deserves a bit of credit all things considered.
He matures so much over the game and generally becomes more serious and methodical as the story progresses but in a way that is still undeniably Junpei. That’s a difficult feat to accomplish when dealing with certain characters and I think Atlus does well to make these changes happen in a pretty organic way.
Junpei isn’t a perfect character, he has his flaws and shortcomings, but out of all the bro characters from 3-5, I think that the writers of 3 deserve more merit for handling Junpei’s character arc in a way that actually feels like he’s grown by the end of the game.
I could not say the same for Ryuji.
I will preface this by saying that I love Ryuji, I think he’s a neat little guy and I think the writers did him so dirty in 5 when they clearly had the capacity to do so much more as we’ve seen already with Junpei.
Ryuji is filled to the brim of wasted potential as a character, his backstory is only barely brushed on with a few throwaway comments about his dad being abusive towards him and his mother, his abuse by Kamoshida who literally breaks his leg is barely brought up after Kamoshida’s arc, and the trauma he suffers from is never the focus of the story compared to how other characters like Yusuke, Futaba, and Ann’s are. Of course, trauma isn’t a competition and all the party members in 5 have dealt with awful shit but the point is that all of them rightfully get the opportunity to be angry about it at some point in the main story or in their social links, Ryuji doesn’t. Ryuji instead gets beat up by pretty much the entire cast of 5, is constantly belittled by the party members, and is basically treated like shit and the butt of the joke throughout the entire game.
I don’t think I even need to bring up that scene because I know everyone feels the same way about it, but I will because it’s a necessary part of this analysis. That scene haunts me, not only is it the unfunniest thing that’s played for jokes I’ve ever seen in a game, but it’s quite possibly the biggest controversy I know of in the persona fandom.
The implications of a teenage boy who was abused by his father and his teacher thinking he’s found a safe haven in the phantom thieves because they all know how shitty adults can be and yeah they insult him but they’d never actually purposefully try and hurt him, right? Only to find that they would hurt him and pretty severely after he risked his life to save theirs because they’re his best friends and he loves them is horrendous and incredibly insensitive to everyone out there who has dealt with similar circumstances. The joke he plays isn’t funny, but I take it as Ryuji trying to lighten the mood the only way he knows how and even if he was insensitive to Ann and the rest of the team who are mourning him, he does not deserve to get beaten to a pulp by the very people he almost killed himself to rescue. They don’t even fucking apologise to him, it’s all just brushed under the rug and never so much as brought up again !!!
The scene didn’t need to make the cut at all, especially with the rerelease in royal, but it did and it’s honestly astonishing that with all the backlash it received, that they didn’t just cut it entirely. And if they really had to keep the scene in the game, let him be angry about it. Let Ryuji go off at the team for beating him up after he saves all of their lives. Let Ryuji tell Joker that he expected more from him as his best friend. Let the team have to jump through hoops to gain Ryuji’s forgiveness because it’s what he deserves.
Not only this, but in comparison to Junpei, Ryuji doesn’t get as much growth in his character arc. Throughout the game, Ryuji largely stays the same which honestly isn’t really an issue, not everyone has to change dramatically and drastically to be a compelling character, but he doesn’t change at all. Honestly, from the start to the end of 5, I could barely tell you a difference between the Ryuji we see. Like I said, I don’t need a drastic change, it doesn’t suit some characters, but Ryuji isn’t given any sort of growth by the writers and any he is given feels forced because he genuinely isn’t given any of the spotlight outside of Kamoshida’s arc unlike with Junpei.
It makes me angry because like I said, the writing was already there with Junpei, they had the capacity to write Ryuji in the same sympathetic way they did with him but they chose not to !! They chose to leave Ryuji as a character who you have no choice but to take at face value because he’s not given any more than that.
In conclusion: the writers dropped the ball with Ryuji and I’m mad about it, Junpei is a good character and I’ll fight anyone who disagrees, and Yosuke is Yosuke and I mourn his cut romance route every day.
#persona series#persona#persona 3#persona 5#junpei iori#ryuji sakamoto#character study#character analysis#tldr is that junpei=written well ryuji=doomed by the writers#yes i have cried thinking about that scene with ryuji#it makes me so mad#i love both junpei and ryuji#might go replay persona 3#this is really long so I wouldn’t blame anyone who just scrolls past#persona 5 royal#persona 5 ryuji#persona 3 junpei#spoliers#ig?? the games have been out for years now and if you’re willingly reading a character analysis knowing you’re gonna get spoiled?#you’re the problem

sometimes I think about the idea that Ryuji is the only person who can make Akira really laugh and I get a little very emo about it like. Akira is normally such a quiet guy but he feels so safe and so free with Ryuji around that he will absolutely lose his mind cry-laughing about stuff, and it’s such a strange sight for most people but to Ryuji it’s actually the most beautiful sound in the world
#hi I am thinking about gayboys again and making myself unwell#pegoryu#akiryu#persona 5#p5#ryuji sakamoto#akira kurusu#ren amamiya#skaterboy speaks#about: Akira <3#about: Ryuji <3

After I get adhd meds it's all over for you fuckers. And by that I mean I'm hoping it will let me focus on my writing enough that I can continue both ITNL *and* discacc. Concurrently!!!!
That's the dream, at least. I love ITNL too much to wanna give it up midway through (pls ignore the 4 months hiatus 🙏 I've been goin thru it) BUT ALSO I really really love discacc too.
For now. Adhd only allows one focus at a time, and barely even that. But someday... I will get to write both vash AND akechi fics. Thank you.
#speculation nation#ive been thinking about akechi a lot lately which is bad for my itnl focus#i really do miss writing him. hes so fucking violent in his narration lmao like what a bitch#vash is a bitch too but hes a kind bitch. akechi just cares about like One person. maybe 2 or 3 depending on the au#in discacc hes up to caring for about. 5 people? akira (obvs) ann futaba sae and sojiro.#hes on the way for yusuke. and maybe someday he can get along with ryuji makoto and haru#maybe. in the far future just maybe.#anyways yea i love my fics and i wanna write so much more than i do#im the person who wrote 70k words in 3 weeks 😭😭😭 where has that spirit gone!!! 😭😭😭😭#oh well. i'll get there eventually.

i’ve been watching my friend play p5 royal for a bit now and i’ve decided that it’s the ideal way to play p5 not because of any story changes or what have you, but because you can unlock isanagi-no-ookami (the god final persona from p4) for basically free at any level and then just myriad truths your way through the rest of the game and it’s the funniest thing in the world
#space rambles#persona 5 royal#we realized this on like our third visit to kamoshida’s palace#and this guy literally DECIMATES EVERYTHING he’s doing at least 400-500 damage to every enemy on any hit#and he replenishes all sp in between battles so you can MILK HIM#we were playing for the story anyways but seeing mona be like ‘oh no these guys are tough!’ and then decimating them in one hit#was making us lose it so we just have him forever now#we could only use him once against kamoshida though so we had to fight him normally#however by the time we got to madarame we had enough sp and items to use him 2-3 times in a battle#so we literally fought madarame in under 10 minutes#this is speedrunning at its finest (laziest)#we also have multiple counters running for this run through#right now they’re the for real counter and the someone says ‘i’m gonna kill kamoshida’ counter#we didn’t have one for madarame’s palace so we need to make a new counter for the next one#but yeah p5r has been so fun#my friend who’s playing it has played the whole thing#one of the people who i’m watching with has played through most of p5 but never finished it and also has never played royal#and then me and my other friend are going in basically blind#ryuji’s my favorite btw#this turned into me just ranting about playing games with my friends because it’s fun lol#but yeah play with izanagi it’s SO funny
