Please imagine Takemi putting Akira on pain meds post-interrogation and it leads to somewhat comical conversations when he's high as balls
"Ryuji would you still love me if I was gay"
"You already--ykw, whatever, yeah"
Akira, sobbing "I love you so much"
asdfg june this concept is absolutely hilarious to me, you just know that a blitzed-out-of-his-mind akira would be the most comical (and chaotic) sight
his usual quiet demeanor? gone, this boy isn't shutting the fuck up. or, if he is it's like having a cat- peace and quiet is not a good sign; silence rings from upstairs, not a mindless chatter to be heard and the rest of the pt freeze downstairs and share the same immediate panic: akira what the fuck are you up to now (especially since he should be RESTING but now he's trying to climb out the window and roofjump across yongen. seriously, someone needs to be on akira-watch constantly)
at some point akira starts chatting on about the velvet room, and igor's long-ass nose, twin child-wardens and the persona executions, and the team just think it's more of his high ramblings. you'd sure think, huh....
and he calls sojiro 'dad' the entire time. no, those aren't tears in sojiro's eyes, he's just very tired from staying up all night tending to akira. that's all.
futaba has it all on film, and akira's in for the lifelong fight of his life to keep that shit private. younger siblings will younger sibling.
#ask#how is it i can picture that scene with ryuji so vividly in my mind#its perfect#also with the amount of shit akira has gone through and all his trials with dodgy medicines how have we missed THIS possibility until now#persona 5#p5#akira kurusu

[ID: A waist-up drawing of The Protagonist from Persona 5- a young man with messy black hair and glasses wearing a Japanese school uniform- with the non-binary pride flag wrapped around his shoulders. There are four hearts, each one a different color from the NB flag, floating around his head. He has three buttons pinned to his jacket. One says "fuck the cis-tem" with a yellow and purple background, one has the aroace sunset flag on it, and the last is purple with the NB pride symbol on it. His eyes are closed and he is smiling.]
@fairyblue-alchemist told me the concept for this gift art during pride month, but unfortunately I've been really busy lately and didn't manage to get it done until now. Better late than never I suppose. Here's a happy little NB Joker for you bestie. 💖

let's talk about the many crimes of the phantom thieves
hello and welcome to me detailing the many crimes of the persona 5 royal teenagers... my dearest friend and i got bored and decided to make a list of every crime they could potentially be charged with, and i thought i'd post it to get other people's thoughts (in case i missed any) + laugh about the insane shit they've pulled off.
lets go!!!
before we get into this: we did not count crimes that were committed within the metaverse, as it wouldn't be possible to really charge the phantom thieves. the only exception to this is goro. we counted his metaverse crimes because it made his laundry list of crimes funnier. that's all.
p.s.: i love studying criminology, but i know i'm not an expert by any means. if i mess something up, miss a crime, etc.- let me know!
now, let's get into it, in order from least to most crimes!
sumi yoshizawa commits zero crimes.
good for her... good for her...
ann takamaki commits one crime: battery.
aside from ryuji and haru (who also only commit one crime), ann has the shortest list of crimes with just one: battery. it's a stretch for sure, but technically, she does slap ryuji after shido's palace, and that does qualify as battery. good on her otherwise.
ryuji sakamoto commits one crime: assault.
side note for anyone who doesn't know: assault and battery are two different things. assault is the threat, battery is the action. for example: if i tell someone i'm going to punch them, that is assault. if i actually do punch them, that is battery. that's often why the two go hand-in-hand.
ryuji threatens people quite a bit, but we actually couldn't think of any instances where he goes through with said threats, excluding him punching kamoshida. because that happened pre-canon, however, and because kamoshida clearly didn't charge ryuji, we didn't count it.
haru okumura commits one crime: perjury.
haru lies to sae when being questioned about her father's death. and yes, lying to a prosecutor during a criminal investigation does count as lying to law enforcement in general.
makoto niijima commits three crimes: blackmail, hacking, and theft.
blackmail: makoto approaches the phantom thieves and blackmails them with a video of them stating their identities, threatening to leak it if they do not meet her demands.
hacking: makoto intentionally manipulates sae's laptop in order to steal documents from it.
theft: makoto steals confidential documents from sae's laptop.
ren amamiya/akira kurusu/the protagonist/joker commits three crimes: improperly bringing an animal onto public transportation, resisting arrest, and breaking and entering.
improperly bringing an animal onto public transportation: animals are allowed on most subways in japan if they are documented, in a proper carrier, and, at times, have been paid for with a proper fee. joker brings morgana onto the train every day without doing anything of the sort.
resisting arrest: joker runs from the police and attempts to escape when surrounded outside of sae's palace.
breaking and entering: in one of yusuke's later confidant events, joker picks the lock to madarame's house and enters.
yusuke kitagawa commits four crimes: plagiarism (charges would likely be dropped, however!), stalking, solicitation, and trespassing.
plagiarism: this one was really interesting to discuss with my buddy. yusuke does commit plagiarism by willingly handing over his artwork to madarame and allowing him to claim it as his own. however, it can be argued that he did so because he was being manipulated, abused, and was under duress* (madarame essentially claimed he would end up on the streets if he did not hand over his art). it can also be argued that because yusuke did not place any copyright infringement on his paintings, it wasn't really plagiarism. therefore, this charge would likely be dropped, either on the basis of insufficient evidence and/or his being under duress.
stalking: yusuke does stalk ann for a few days before speaking to her. because this action causes distress to ann (shown by her mentioning yusuke following her around a few days prior, as well as her initial reaction to meeting him), it falls under the category of stalking.
solicitation: yusuke solicits joker to commit the crime of breaking into madarame's house in one of his confidant events.
trespassing: when joker does break into madarame's house for him, yusuke enters.
*under duress: constraint illegally exercised to force someone to perform an act (AKA, forcing somebody to do something illegal via threats, blackmail, manipulation, guilt-tripping, etc.)
futaba sakura commits eight crimes: wiretapping, non-consensual surveillance, espionage, truancy, hacking, tampering, theft, and blackmail.
wiretapping: futaba hacks into phone lines (most notably, ren and akechi's) and listens in on conversations.
non-consensual surveillance: futaba tracks the GPS on a few people's phones.
espionage: futaba spies on people.
truancy: we don't know the full extent, but it is implied that futaba has missed a lot of school, which is a crime.
hacking: i hope i don't have to explain this one HAHA.
tampering: to send shido's calling card, futaba tampers with all the big screens around japan, which is tampering with property.
theft: futaba has stolen plenty of information, classified or not classified, from a loooot of different people.
blackmail: when she first asks the phantom thieves to change her heart, she does so through blackmailing them, threatening to reveal their identities if they don't do it.
goro akechi commits twelve crimes: attempted first-degree murder, mass first-degree murder, unlawful possession of a firearm, conspiracy, fraud, aiding and abetting, terrorism, assault, battery, perjury, blackmail, and obstruction of justice.
attempted first-degree murder: whilst akechi technically doesn't kill joker, he does try to, which means he can be charged with this.
mass first-degree murder: akechi murders. a LOT of people. which falls under this category.
unlawful possession of a firearm: in order to kill joker, akechi steals a gun from a police officer.
conspiracy: akechi states his plans to murder joker and plots it out in advance for a long, long, time.
fraud: faking joker's death certificate is a form of fraud.
aiding and abetting: helping shido kill people is aiding and abetting.
terrorism: terrorism is defined as "the unlawful use of violence and intimidation, especially against civilians, in the pursuit of political aims." akechi's actions fall under this category.
assault: akechi throws plenty of threats people's ways!
battery: and follows through on many of them.
perjury: akechi lies to all sorts of law enforcement around him, most notably sae and the guard outside of joker's interrogation room.
blackmail: akechi threatens to leak the identities of the phantom thieves if they don't infiltrate sae's palace.
obstruction of justice: by lying about what he knew about the phantom thieves, withholding information from law enforcement, and overall just completely messing with the case, akechi commits obstruction of justice.
that's it!
thank you for reading thank you for joining us joy to the world... shoutout again to my wonderful friend for being these guys' defense attorney's
BYE!!

Hello:) I just discovered into your in blog and I love your work of persona I hope you don't mind me requesting even after you just drop a post :')
Akira and Goro (separated!) Going to some formal party w Fem!s/o and they got separated later in the party when he is trying to find her he sees her with a girl who was flirting with his s/o and his s/o is oblivious to that even tho the girl is holding her arm and pressing herself to her she thinks it's all friendly talk but the girl is trying to hint she wants a relationship with her that is more then friends and s/o not getting the hint and how will he going to react seeing this sight?
Sorry of it's bit to much or you don't understand that request:')
Have a nice day :3
What A Flirt!
Akira Kurusu and Goro Akechi
A/N: thank you so much for the request, and sorry i got to it so late! i hope you enjoy it!
Warnings: mentions of third semester in Akechi's, other than that, nothing!
Word Count: 830
Akira Kurusu~
he's trying his very best to stay calm.
He can see that your uncomfortable so he tries to get to you as fast as possible
Honestly his reaction depends on his mood
if he's in a bad mood, or is maybe a little less confident with himself, he is quick to take his place beside you, his arm wrapping around your waist.
he chats with you, completely ignoring the person who was trying to flirt with you
if the person finds the courage to speak up, he sends them a death glare. seriously, if looks could kill this person would be 6 feet under
showers you in affection afterwards, and pouts if you don't return his affection :(
if he's in a good mood, and confident (most of the time), then he strides over to you, pressing a kiss to your cheek before politely telling the person bothering you that the two of you are together and you are NOT looking for a partner
kind of a gentlemen about it ngl
Even with that silver mask adoring your face, Akira could still tell that it was you. You stood out to him, even in a room full of masked faces.
The two of you had been invited to a masquerade ball, and you were both incredibly excited to go, to the point that the two of you decided to match outfits.
you looked so gorgeous, that even the person beside you seemed in awe.
the person beside you....
at first, he continues on with what he was doing, gathering drinks for the two of you. He trusts you...its not like you would prefer this girl over him, right?
the slight moment of hesitance has him glancing back over to you, only to see your awkward smile, and the women pressed up against you, with her arms wrapped around your arm.
that's all it takes for Akira swiftly walk over to your side, eyeing the girl who was chatting up a storm with you, before gently yanking the arms of the women off you. he turns to you, pressing a kiss to your cheek. You giggle, pressing one to his cheek in return.
the women beside you cleared her throat, obviously embarrassed. Akira raised an eyebrow, daring them to say anything. The women gulped, before turning away, face burning.
Akira turned back to you, flashing you his charming smile and enjoying your attention that was now only on him.
Goro Akechi~
his response also depends on his mood, and also which version of him your dealing with (before or after 3rd semester)
if your with Akechi before 3rd Semester, then he puts up his princely facade and deals with it in a responsible manner, cheerfully letting the person know that you have a partner.
appears seemingly out of no where
his charming smile puts them at ease
does tell them off in a condescending way about touching things that don't belong to them
not a big fan of PDA, but he will rest one of his hands on your lower back, and occasionally he will lean down to press a kiss to your cheek or whisper something in your ear
3rd semester Akechi is a whole other deal
even more condescending and patronizing
he makes them feel TERRIBLE, and then smiles about it
acts the same way PDA wise, but allows a smirk to rest on his face, and is kind of a tease, whispering about how adorable you are
either way, he stops this person before they can get close enough to touch you
Akechi finally had a break from work.
it had been weeks since the two of you were able to truly spend time together, so he figured a date between the two of you would be perfect. he let you choose.
thats how the two of you ended up at an outdoor ice rink, his brown jacket wrapped tightly around him as the cold nipped at him.
His scarf was wrapped around your neck, and he couldn't help but think how cute you looked, the scarf nestled up against your soft pink cheeks.
he looked away for a second, going over to put on his own skates, before standing back up and searching around to find you. it didn't take long.
You were skating slowly beside another girl, and Akechi tried to think nothing of it, until he saw a flirty smirk cross the girls face, and saw them slowly moving closer to you.
he got over as fast as he could without looking weird, coming up between you and the other girl just before she could come to close to you. he turned to the girl, asking if the two of you new each other. when you said no, he introduced himself, stating quite clearly that the two of you were together. she got the hint, and made up a quick excuse before leaving the two of you alone.
he reached for your hand, and the smiled. Finally the two of you could have some alone time.

Hiiii yandere akechi anon again.
Yandere!akechi, willing and encouraging!joker number 19? With a hint of 31? I think it's 31. Breed that fuck ass. That one. Yippee.
Bonus if its trans dynamic there's a lack of trans dynamic joker please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please
I tried my best! A/B/O is a challenging kink for me to write thanks to how broad it can be, but I enjoy exploring it, and I hope it came out well. Same with the transness, I tried my best, and I hope it’s p clear! But, for now, I hope you enjoy, I’m very proud of the fact you thought I did a good enough job to return and ask again, and I hope this one continues that respectful trend and is fun to read!
Kinktober prompt list: Here
Kinktober masterlist: Here
CW: breaking and entering, yandere behavior, breeding, maybe a TEENSIE bit of masochism and essence of dubcon, just the lightest hint. Stalking, A/B/O setting, and shoddy writing is likely. Also, I will admit this one might tread a bit too close to reality for comfort, so if you are not comfortable with a yandere!Cop character, please just. Feel free to skip, I don’t want to risk any discomfort.
With a deep, rib-stretching breath of crisp autumn air, Goro Akechi breathed out as much of the day’s stress as he could. The silence of the shadowed, sleepy neighborhood a much appreciated reprieve from the noise and chaos of the last few days. “You’d think other Alpha’s would get a clue after a few refusals…” He muttered to himself as he meandered down the dark street, his hands behind his head, his russet eyes on the first quarter of the moon shown that month. Though, the celestial body obviously didn’t comment on his mood or mutterings. So, he just sighed and continued to think aloud, “I hate this time of year. Omegas are needy for any crumb of attention they can get, Alphas are more aggressive than a horned up honey badger, and I’m stuck dealing with the aftermath.”
Though, I suppose I can’t complain. It pays my bills well enough, and if I hadn’t gone into this line of work, how would I be able to know Akira Kurusu’s medical history? He told himself to somewhat soothe the aggravation from his day. Which, was a slightly odd way to cheer himself up, since Akira Kurusu was, in all but evidence, a prominent phantom thief. So, in any other world’s logic, Akechi’s hatred would’ve stayed just that. Hatred.
And, to civilians, it had. Akechi made it painfully clear on camera how he despised ‘Joker’ for the breaking and entering, theft, and blackmail he infected Tokyo with. Yet, beneath the annoyance and disdain for the charming ravenette, was a twisted...protectiveness over the thief. Because, some part of the Alpha didn’t see the man as a simple thief to be caught, he was his nemesis. At this point the detective felt as if Akira Kurusu was histhief.
Akechi hated how Akira Kurusu had infected his thoughts like a disease, but he hated the thought of anyone else catching him even more. So, he’d gathered any evidence against the ravenette to hide away and he’d even killed other cops to keep them from being the ones to arrest him. He’d researched and studied Akira’s every move for a year now, gotten into his medical records, slipped trackers into his coats, and a myriad of other things to make sure that nobody else could figure out the ravenette’s identity before Akechi was ready to finally arrest him.
Which, was a possibility only because of Akechi’s spotless reputation as the second coming of the detective prince, and his experience as a cop. So, no matter how many dumb, horned up Alphas who didn’t share in Akechi’s level of self control, he had to keep his job. Sadly.
At that realization, the detective prince took another deep breath to sigh out in frustation. Though, this time, a specific scent stopped him in his tracks.
A very specific type of coffee fragrance.
One that sat heavily on his tongue like some sort of syrup. Much too heavy for it to be an Omega’s scent, Omegas tended to have lighter scents during their breeding times. Smells that dissolved like cotton candy when they came into contact with an Alpha’s braincells. Nor was it the scent of a Beta in heat, because the smells Betas gave off to lure in a mate were ghostly. They were faint, a bit vaguer, and more of a tease on the senses. So, that left the only other option to explain it. It was the scent of an Alpha.
In all of his time as a detective, Akechi had smelled plenty of Omegas, Betas, and Alphas, so he could tell the specific type of person he was approaching, but, this one was...different. This one was vaguely familiar to the detective prince. He knew it from somewhere, even though the answer failed to come to mind as he remembered to continue his walk.
Which, intrigued the brunette. Wonder who it could be, He mused as he observed where he was being led within the neighborhood.Maybe Sae? Or, with my luck, Miss Okumura. Granted, she hates me and suspects I’m corrupt, but I wouldn’t be surprised.
Though, Haru Okumura’s home was at the very edge of town. In a gated community that barely dared to be next to the lesser Bezos’ of the neighboring areas. And, Sae Nijima lived closer to the court house and her office. Nowhere near the neighborhood Akechi was in because he was in Akira Kurusu’s neighborhood. And, from what he could tell when he followed the fragrance further and further through the night, closer to Akira’s home.
And, when Akechi finally approached Akira’s home properly, a normal, rather plain-looking home, he did his best to keep his heart rate steady. Even though he’d seen the home plenty from the yard, each step closer to the slightly opened door was like a fresh dose of nearly childish adrenaline into his veins and each inhale of the fragrance in the air like some odd contact high for the brunette. Though, that could’ve also been from the thrill that came from the thought of the ravenette he spent so much time thinking about helpless and needy. Whichever was to blame didn’t matter, though. Akechi could blame neither for the ease he had in pushing open the door the rest of the way and simply walking into Akira’s home.
Which, was a nearly silent home, that night. With no young redhead on the couch to spend the night, and no blonde track stars up too late to watch netflix, the only noise that filled the dark shadows of the night was a soft whimper somewhere deeper in the cafe of a home. “Hello? Akira?” He called into the home, paused a moment by the doorway to listen for a reply, but none came. So, he closed the door and moved deeper into the house. Saved from a proper sweep of the home by the trail of clothing that led from the middle of the living room, down a hallway, and into the master bedroom.
And, that was where he found his needy thief. Nestled into a bundle of his blankets, pillows, couch cushions, and basically anything soft on his bed, his fluffy black hair a mess from the sweat, his charcoal eyes almost lit by lust when he looked over at the detective in his bedroom’s doorway. “Are you here to rob me, arrest me, or...I dunno, breed me…” Akira Kurusu asked, his voice thickened by the same syrupy rut that filled the air with a caffeinated scent. “I’m not sure yet, which one do you sugges-” “Breed me.” The request was more of a demand. Snapped out into the darkness of the room as the ravenette sat up in the nest. And, that was the only real encouragement the man needed. Who am I to deny him the chance to have an eighteen-year reminder of me? Makes my life easier in the long run.
So, without much further thought or conversation, the brunette silenced the needy Alpha with a kiss. A kiss that was almost instantly returned with Akira’s strong arms thrown around his neck for good measure. As if I’m gonna leave after just a kiss? Akechi thought at the ravenette with a small smile that threatened to break their kiss. Though, he didn’t bother actually pulling away to verbalize the words, instead his hands went to the ravenette’s waist so that they could coast upwards.
Over his ribs, the muscles he got from the years of criminal acrobatics, and the soft, old, near-invisible scars just beneath his pectoral muscles until Akira shuddered and broke away from their heated kiss to breathe.
So, the brunette took the chance to move his lips from the needy thief’s lips, over his overheated skin and down his throat as he slowly pushed him back into the heap of caffeine-scented pillows and blankets. Akira’s stranglehold on his neck only loosened so that he could claw at the detective’s pants until they were shoved down his hips. In return, the brunette nipped and nibbled at the man’s throat to earn more thoughtless whimpers. Though, despite the weight of Akira’s scent on his mind, Akechi made sure to keep control of himself so that he wouldn’t go claiming him as his mate.
Doing that would’ve complicated Akechi’s life too much, so he poured that urge into how he groped over the dark-haired man’s scarred, gorgeously built body roughly. The ravenette’s noises freely given in response to his touch, either into the detective prince’s mouth, or the need-scented air. Which, the brunette reciprocated with his own quieter moans and the warm kisses that he littered over Akira’s feverish skin as soon as his back was on the mat of pillows and blankets. Which, got him Akira’s legs locked around his waist just as quickly, just so the needy Alpha could drag him closer with a desperate whine.
Which, made the detective grin slightly against the surgery scar he was lavishing with kisses so that he could relish the frantic rise and fall of the man’s chest. But, he didn’t tease him too much more after that. He may have had an iron grip on his reaction to the scent of a rut or heat, but he still went through them himself, and he understood the agony that filled a man’s veins when he had no partner to help.
So, he lined himself up with the thief’s slick asshole and pushed into him slowly. The simple penetration all it took to get nails dug into the brunette’s back to pull out a surprised groan and get him to nearly slam in to the hilt all in one go. “Jesus, Akira. Chill.” He growled, even as he gave into his demand and skipped the slow adjustment period to instead just start thrusting steadily while the thief moaned and clawed into his back.
The slap of Akechi’s skin against the ravenette’s ass mixed with the noisy man’s thick, coffee-like fragrance and needy noises quick to create a heady concoction that invaded Akechi’s brain like a well trained batallion. That, paired with the squeeze of the ravenette’s ass, and the bite of his claws into the detective’s back, the brunette’s thoughts were swiftly overwhelmed by feral demands of, Breed him. Make him yours. Make sure this bitch can’t ever escape you again. From a darker voice in his head that the detective usually ignored. Yet, with how Akira’s legs locked around his waist, he had no choice but to obey.
So, when he began to feel the first whispers of light-headed dizziness creep into his head from the rush of blood down to his knot, an evil smile spread across his face. “You want a baby, right, Kurusu?” He growled down to the mess of moans and whines that had once been Tokyo’s most notorious gentleman thief. “Yes! Yes, please, yes!” He plead in an instant, his charcoal-colored eyes blown wide, the watery silver moonlight barely a glint in his glazed over eyes. Which, would surely net the detective a coercion charge after the effects of Akira’s rut had worn off, but that was a problem for a more sane Akechi to deal with.
In that moment, all the brunette felt was the eager twitch of his cock, and the blood race from his head, to his knot. Until, the gland at the base of his cock could just begin to stretch the thief’s slickened hole until he arched his back into Akechi and whined. Though, whatever he was begging for, the detective couldn’t make out, so, he simply covered his bases with a rougher, faster pace.
Which, filled the dark room’s coffee-rich air with more incoherent whines and rewarded the detective prince with more scratches to his back and shoulders. The pain of the thief’s nails in his flesh like a full storm’s worth of little lightning bolts that headed straight for his groin to further muddy whatever thoughts had remained in his skull. Though, they completely unravelled as soon as Akira opened his mouth. “Akechi! F-fuck, Akechi, give me a baby, please!”
As soon as the man sputteredthat out,that level of self control that Akechi took so much pride in snapped like a rubberband. And, with it went all but a single scrap of sanity that let him do his best to assure in a feral growl, “Oh, I’m gonna…” right before his pace grew so rough, that it left Akira a thoughtless puddle of loud moans in his comfortable nest of pillows and blankets. Though, those whimpered moans were still far louder and needy than the brunette’s noises. Most of Akechi’s mindless desire to breed was only evident in the way that his knot swelled and gave a smallpop each time that the detective pulled it free of the thief’s ass.At least, until he let loose a final string of curses into the darkness of the room and slammed his knot into Akira.
Once he was sure that his cock was locked into Akira, free to twitch and spew thick cum into him, the dark-haired thief finally released the hold his legs had on the man’s hips. Both men breathless and sweaty, shakey to different extents within the mussed nest. So, they didn’t bother saying much, even as Akechi crumpled into the pile of fabrics and pulled the barely-conscious phantom thief closer to wait for his knot to go down. A devious grin on the detective’s lips as he basked in the knowledge that his beloved nemesis would be haunted by him in some way. Whether that was simple embarrassment, or a child, Akechi didn’t care in the moment.

Howdy dear friend ! I came hare with a merely entreaty :)
May I ask for Headcaones for Akechi and Joker with girlfriend who have a white snake as a pet ?
(if it made ya that slightly uncomfortable dear author-san no need to write it!)
(I hope this help little bit when writing the HC: The snake name is Lotus, Lotus doesn't like to be away for her owner for to long always like to hang around her owner, like morgana Lotus always hides in that bag wanting to go with her owner everywhere she gose to, if Lotus sense any danger or a creepy won't stop bothering her owner she makes her apprench to be known with her wrapping herself around her owner neck and hissing at sort of danger that is bothering these two, if ever going to that mementos she becomes like Mona a chibi that talks she and her owner will no stop talking to each other because they finally could communicate with there own comfort being<3)
I'm sorry if this is to much for you, You can always decline this request if you want
Have Nice Day/Night!!
notes: this is so cute actually wait.... give her a little phantom thief outfit that would be so adorable
goro akechi/fem reader, joker/fem reader, fluff, spoiler warning!
JOKER/AKIRA KURUSU
you both bond over having a pet animals. mona and lotus. mona and lotus became friends because of how much you two would hang around each other.
in the metaverse, you and akira are the best duo. you're both able to gather intel stealthily and efficiently. the other phantom thieves would give lotus nicknames, and grow to become more calm around her.
at first, he would be a little worried due to the fact she was a snake, and could possibly kill you at any second, but when he saw how calm lotus was he wasn't as worried anymore. (still a little worried tho cause he has no idea if hes fair game or not. whoopsies!)
GORO AKECHI
thinks its cool. definitely the type of guy to look at it with a little smile like "hello there :)" and then lotus just starts hissing.
if you're working with the phantom thieves, he's kinda surprised but also expected it. he encourages you to "do the right thing and tell him who the leader is" and if you don't budge he just gives up. he will be back the next day to ask about it.
once he "joins", he's acts surprised at how lotus talks to him, but says a snarky response that sounds a little crueler than normal. before, he had to take the remarks he could hear and pretend he couldn't understand (assuming lotus can talk like morgana), but now he could talk back. he becomes so petty ugh i hate sassy men
when joker gets caught, you're just as worried as the rest of them but also a little hurt knowing your boyfriend was going to be the one to kill your best friend.
engine room scene is absolutely devastating. lotus tries to comfort you, but it's still difficult to move on even with the endless support you get. that just fuels your drive even more to bring shido to justice.

Persona 3, 4, & 5 Protag sexuality headcanons
Disclaimer: I am not going to include the first three Persona games as I have no way to play and figure them out, but maybe I'll find a way.
Another disclaimer: I sadly won't include the FeMC, as I haven't played P3 Portable. But I got it recently, and I shall repost once I finish!
Makoto Yuki:
HeteroAce. I know it seems like a cop-out, but I think it fits him well. He probably never thought about romance and didn't think he would ever fall in love. Then he meets the girl of his dreams (me and my fiancé say Fuuka) and he finally understands.
Another idea is AroAce, it's more an idea.
Yu Narukami:
Polysexual and possibly Polyamorus. Persona protags are lady killers, but it doesn't mean that they can't also be different. Narukami is no exception. He gives off Polysexual vibes. You have many female options, so there's one. Yosuke was supposed to be a romance option (we were robbed!!), so already makes sense. And I headcanon Naoto being Non-binary or Genderfluid, so check on that! As for the Polyamory, depending on who you romance, you could be a throuple (We imagine Narukami, Naoto, and Kanji. It would be sweet).
Akira Kurusu:
Pansexual. I know we have many female options, but four of them are adults. And I know Japan is different, but its still strange. But that's a rant for later! And let me say we all know that if we had male options, people would have Ryuji and Yusuke as their partner. Plus, Akira seems like he doesn't discriminate (like I said, he dates adults), and he values their emotions and love.
These are just headcanons, so if you don't agree, that's perfectly fine! Everyone has an opinion, and they can be beautiful (not all and you know who you are 🫵😡)
Thank you for listening to my TED Talk!

Goro and Akiren's names meaning
So, I've been going through a website for Japanese baby names with their written Kanji meanings too, for a future Akeshu post. and this also required me to visit the Megami Tensei Wiki of our boys to look at what their names mean and---
Akiren and Goro's parents had very different thought processes of importance when naming their newborns and it shows.
(no offense to any Japanese born with the name Goro, spelt with the same Kanji as P5's Goro, I just find this funny. This is purely making fun of a fictional character)
If you're on team Ren Amamiya for P5 Protagonist's name. You already probably know "Amamiya" means "Rain Palace". But what about "Ren"?
The Amamiya's named their son "蓮/Ren", which means "Lotus".
A Lotus flower is a symbol of purity, or "Strength, Resilience, or Rebirth".
For team "Akira Kurusu"
Kurusu means "Chestnut Grove". "Su" = "Nest" or "Grove", "Kuru" = "to come"
"Akira" spelt like this 暁
Means: "Daybreak" or "Dawn", or any form of "bright"
hey, maybe the Kurusu"s named their son after the time he was born.
and then there's Akechi----
The Surname 明智/Akechi (apparently read as "Meichi"??), is an uncommon spelling and means "Wisdom and Sagacity"
That's nice, fitting. Nothing wrong with that.
Now what about Pancake-boi"s first name?
Goro
Depending on what text characters you use, "Go" can mean "five" or "I, my, me, myself".
"Ro" means "Son, or Young Man"
the Kanjis for Goro"s name is indeed 吾郎
吾/Go = I, My, Me, Myself
郎/Ro = Son, Young Man.
MamaKechi really just named her newborn "My Son".
Alternate spelling with a diffferent "Go" Kanji, isn't any better
五 and 伍 = Go (the characters can also be read as Itsu-tsu, or Kumi) translate as "Five", so alternatively he would be named "Fifth Son", which wouldn't make too much sense on Mother's part because Goro is an only child on her side.
On Shido's end though, given his interaction with Women, who knows how many One Night Stand or One Sided Encounters that ended in children being born he's had at this point. Goro could be "Unintentional Half Child" number 5 or higher for all we know. But MamaKechi wouldn't know that.
Point is, why is the P5 fandom only roasting this man for his infamous "Delicious Pancakes" screw up, but not taking advantage of the endless potential of his first name meaning "My Son"?
Because, me personally, I find that hilarious. Oh, if the Phantom Thieves learned that they could tease him mercilessly to the point he drops the Goro entirely when introducing himself to new people.
the possibilities are endless!
Extra: His name being a nod to Kogoro Akechi, a fictional Detective isn't any better. "Kogoro" uses the "Fifth Son" Kanjis, with "Ko" meaning "Small, Tiny, Little". Inspired by a Detective from a mystery novel or not, his namesake inspiration could be translated as meaning "Tiny fifth son"

Hello my darling :)
May I please request headcanons for Joker, Maruki, and Akechi being snowed in with their S/O and having to deal with problems like rolling blackouts, freezing pipes, etc?
Dealing with Problems While Snowed In
Fandom: Persona 5
Character(s): Goro Akechi, Akira Kurusu / Ren Amamiya, Takuto Maruki
Type of Request: Headcanons
Note(s): God dealing with all that sounds like a nightmare >.<
Akechi
He is beyond annoyed when a blackout occurs. Akechi was trying to get work done and he hadn’t saved what he had of the passive aggressive email he was composing.
Akechi is asking you to go find some candles to light while he does the same. Also going to check how the pipes are doing. He saw the weather report earlier and saw it would be cold.
His annoyance just grows when the faucets aren’t running. He knows that he let them drip earlier.
Akechi is just in a bad mood and is probably going to go take a nap to hopefully sleep through all this crap. Join him if you want, but he’s annoyed so if you breathe wrong he might snap at you.
Joker
Is glad Sojiro left before Le Blanc got snowed in. He doesn’t know if he’d be able to handle dealing with him being a grump while he’s with you.
He’s also happy because he saw the weather report and so he made sure that all the blankets were washed and dried for extra fluff for cuddling.
The power going out and pipes freezing was more of a problem. Especially since the attic he stays in gets real cold easily. He also knows Sojiro is going to have a hell of a time getting the cafe back in order for business.
But he’s trying to keep the mood up by just cuddling with you and playing some games on his phone or whatnot with you to pass the time.
Maruki
Okay so you’re both snowed in. That’s no big deal! You two still have water and food and you can always cuddle to keep warm. Things are fine!
Except the pipes are frozen and so your water is now limited. Again, he’s still telling you things are fine. The snow can’t possibly last that long. And he’s sure someone is working on clearing the way outside.
A blackout does cause him to be more stumped. He was hoping there would be some info on the news to help give tips on what to do in this situation. Except now there’s no electricity to watch the news.
Just lets out a sigh and gives you a sheepish smile. Guess it’s time to find the blankets and make a pillow fort to cuddle in until things get fixed.

Random femAkeshu Pokemon AU lore I couldn’t include in Dark Void for various reasons:
- Akechi becomes the ghost type Elite Four member. She keeps Ceruledge, Mimikyu, Decidueye, and Marowak on the team, but also rotates other ghost types she obtains later during various adventures with Akira.
Among these are a Dhelmise (a callback to Shido’s ship in canon), Gengar, Spiritomb, Banette (throwbacks to her childhood due to their lore as abandoned or resentful creatures), and a Sableye named Kurusu she captured as payback for Corviknight’s supposedly stupid pun nickname. Also she does not mention Kurusu’s name until it gets into trouble and she can call Kurusu an idiot, to Akira’s confusion. Akira thinks it’s petty. Akechi thinks it’s justice.
- She catches a Torracat as well, evolves it into Incineroar, and once again another one of her Pokemon pursues one of Akira’s (Meowscarada this time) romantically. Even the cats are gay.
- Akira keeps Zebstrika, newly nicknamed Loki. For once, Akechi approves of a nickname. Nerd. You don’t even have Norse mythology in your universe.
- The other Elite Four are Sae (Ice), Iwai (Steel), and Chihaya (Psychic). Shido was previously Dragon.
- Gym Leaders as of the fic: Ann (Fire), Yoshida (Rock), Hifumi (Water), Kawakami (Normal), Ryuji (Electric), Makoto (Fighting), Ichinose (Dark), Lavenza (Fairy). Kamoshida and Kaneshiro were previously gym leaders before Ann and Ryuji. Since Makoto was already a gym leader, I let Ryuji take Kaneshiro’s spot.
- Team Ark’s goal was simplistic control over as many regions as possible, and were led by Shido. Shido previously destroyed Akira’s life similarly to canon, so she ran away from home and helped Sojiro at Leblanc. I didn’t pick a singular region for this because I decided it was its own, despite basing the fic mostly in Sinnoh. They globe trot much like the Journeys and Horizons anime.
- Akira doesn’t travel with everyone everywhere like in canon once she befriends them, but some usually accompany her for awhile. Ann and Ryuji journeyed with her after she helped stop Kamoshida because he kidnapped Shiho, a Pokemon breeder and Ann’s girlfriend.
- Madarame was a patron of the Lilycove museum who supposedly painted everything he submitted. Truthfully, Yusuke was painting every contest star submission himself, and lived in poverty at Madarame’s house. Akira, Ryuji, and Ann saved him, he helped Akira with Team Ark in return too.
- Kaneshiro owned the game corner and was a gym leader. He had a bigger hand in Shido’s Team Ark, like a mini boss such as Saturn or Courtney, for example. Makoto nearly outed Akira to the police despite Shido having them under his thumb, because he threatened her city (his gym neighbored his?. However, she decided she couldn’t let injustice slide, and helped her reveal the game corner and Team Ark’s corruption.
- Futaba and Akira were already friends in this AU. She is the PC storage system creator known as Medjed, but she ran into some trouble thanks to a Cofagrius haunting her house. Akira and Akechi were the ones who saved her, solidifying Akira’s trust in Akechi.
- Akira and Akechi traveled together a decent bit, to solidify their bond. They battled regularly, with a pretty even win-loss ratio once Akira got the hang of things. Akechi lied about her Pokemon on hand sometimes “just in case.”
- Okumura was killed by Akechi still in this AU, the same way she attempted to kill Akira. 🫡 HOWEVER, an Okumura power plant was the casualty instead of a spaceship palace, and in the process several Pokemon nearby were injured or killed—including Cubone’s mother. The weight of orphaning something so defenseless the same way she had been after losing her mother chipped at her walls, so Akechi took in Cubone as an apology. It wasn’t enough to change her fate, but Cubone loves her, and she loves Cubone.
- Haru retired from Okumura Corp to open a Pokemon cafe after Team Ark collapses. Shes tired and deserves it
- Kasumi is in a coma after an accident—I still haven’t decided if she’s dead or not. Sumire loses her mind a little bit thanks to Maruki’s totally ethical experiments (lie), and takes on Kasumi’s goal to become the greatest coordinator. She only goes into recovery after the Darkrai and Cresselia incident. Thanks for nothing, Maruki
- Lavenza gave Akira her Zorua, who was the one to fool Akechi at Dragonspire Tower via illusions while Akira rushed to claim Zekrom.
- Zenkichi is in the Officer Jenny role. He has dozens of lookalike relatives, and Akira claims she can’t tell them apart. Takemi is in the Nurse Joy role with dozens of lookalike relatives, and Akira can tell all of them apart with ease. Zenkichi doesn’t know if he’s being pranked or not and he’ll never find out.
- Akira’s Polteageist is on loan from Sojiro, except Sojiro loans it forever. He hopes that kid is safe now
- Shinya is a bug catcher who taught Akira some of those stupid strategies you’d see Ash use in the anime. Akechi is MALDING that they work, by the way.
- Ohya is a reporter much like Gabby and Ty. She exchanges tips about Team Ark with Akira, despite Akira never directly telling her she’s the one committing crimes constantly to bust worst crimes.
- I can’t stop thinking of Akechi just vibing but visibly only there for Akira. It’s like when Piccolo starts hanging out with Goku’s crew because of Gohan, except like with a mean lesbian human. Why did I choose this analogy? Idk!
- Mishima owns a Gimmighoul. I don’t know what else to add here
I have full teams for everyone, but I fear this post has gotten too long! If you’re still reading, thank you for doing so, and I hope you enjoyed!
#akeshu#my stuff#tricksterlatte writes#long post#fem akeshu#fanfic#god I’m so sorry this is so WORDY but I wrote about third sem instead of the main story I’ve had for ages ok#it had to go somewhere#I have other pokemon I assigned to akira too but she has…a lot LMAO#her main team is the one in the fic#I’m sorry for typos.

Four Akiras in a Trenchcoat AU: Crime
Something I think is inherently funny about pretty much any SMT crossover with Persona is that the Megaten heroes are just... more violent than Persona heroes. That is, I don’t think that darkness and violence makes a story automatically better; I just enjoy the dissonance. SMT is a game where humans are random encounters, friendship fades in the spirit of idealism/fanaticism, and there is no decision that won’t make you feel guilty afterwards. Meanwhile in Persona, your friends balk at murder and will always support you.
(The premise of the Four Akiras in a Trenchcoat AU is that Akira Kurusu is the Persona timeline’s version of Akira from SMT4. Black Mask kills Joker in the Metaverse before the game even starts, so the Velvet Room tries to salvage their Wild Card by summoning the souls of parallel versions of him into his empty shell. Now King Aquila, Blasted Akira, Infernal Akira, and Anarchy Nanashi enact the plot of Persona 5.)
Premise
I think it’s hilarious that the four Akiras have definitely committed more crimes than most of the targets. Like, they’ve done a lot of the same shit as the villains, but they’ve not only done more of it, they got away with it!
Nanashi killed more people in five minutes than the actual hitman did over his whole career. King Aquila is beloved as Mikado’s perfect first king, but his throne was built on lies, betrayal, and propaganda. Infernal cobbles together multiple targets; he’s a gang boss, takes credit for other people’s accomplishments, and working conditions under him are literal slavery. And Blasted basically opened a portal to hell to stimulate the economy, an easy metaphor for corporate greed.
Except while they’ve done more evil on paper, they’ve also done a hell of a lot more good. Something I see in all of the Akiras is that they’re ruthless, not cruel; they do exactly what they think is necessary and no more. Whenever it’s possible to show kindness and mercy, they do.
My take on Anarchy Nanashi is that he made all the Bonds choices, but destroyed the world because he sincerely thought it was the best way to save everyone. Time and time again, he saw gods and demons snatch hope from humanity; every time they think things will be okay, something new screws them over. Nanashi’s goal was to screw everyone over one last time, then ensure it will never happen again.
King Aquila’s similarities with Shido begin and end with how propaganda paints them as the perfect leader; where Shido just wants money and influence, King Aquila manipulated his way into peace, prosperity, and freedom for Tokyo and Mikado.
Infernal looks bad without context, but the thing is that everything in Infernal Tokyo is was so much worse under Kenji. Akira brings peace and equality, ends starvation, and is almost universally beloved across Tokyo. It’s also telling that even though everyone know he’s weak, nobody wants to overthrow him. He found and enforced the minimum level of cruelty required for his society to function; to outsiders it’s horrifying because that level is not zero, but his citizens remember how much worse it was before.
Blasted Tokyo has almost nothing. Akira may be gambling with the lives of his people, but not playing at all condemns them to a slow death.
That’s also why I’m thinking that the Four empathize with the targets more than the other Phantom Thieves would -- but that empathy makes them despise them even more. They understand why the targets would resort to crime, but they also know there’s no need to continue. They have all the money and power they need; why do they trample on others for more?
Stealing Hearts
I was thinking that before Morgana reveals the change of heart, the Akiras already tried to kill Kamoshida. I originally considered that they succeeded, but I think it makes the most sense if they were still in the planning stage, and decided that the change of heart was a win-win scenario; it’s less risky, and if they screw up, Kamoshida dies anyways.
On another note, I was thinking that if anyone objected to meddling with hearts, it would be Aquila and Blasted. Nanashi’s done much worse to Flynn and the Goddess. Infernal knows that many of the problems with Infernal Tokyo start with how Demonoid’s emotions run rampant, and even if these corrupt desires are completely natural, he’s okay with doing away with them for the safety of others.
Meanwhile, Aquila is uncomfortable with magically messing with people’s minds, because he probably saw the angels do it firsthand. And Blasted saw Kiyoharu be driven insane.
A Different Awakening
When I was playing through Madarame’s dungeon, I was thinking about how badly it would affect Infernal. The whole second Palace is about someone who thrives by devouring the children in his care. Ryuji even suggests ‘Farm’ into the Metaverse App!
All throughout the dungeon, Infernal Akira sees his sins hurled into his face. Madarame’s crimes are uncomfortably close to his own, and whenever the party talks about how despicable the target is, Infernal is quietly listening.
At some point, Infernal cracks, and winds up telling the other Akiras about his crimes. Blasted and King Aquila are horrified, but Nanashi winds up defending him. He knows about Blasted and Infernal Tokyo because of Flynn, and he knows what drove Infernal to his crimes. Nanashi assures Infernal that there was no good way to fix Infernal Tokyo and he simply chose the least bad option; freeing the Neurishers looks good on paper, but it would starve the Demonoids.
It turns out that for the Four, their Personas Awaken as they cope with their own problems (except for Blasted, partially because someone has to rescue Ryuji at the start of the game, and partially because his crimes are the least heinous).
Where Infernal’s problem is that his guilt overrides what good he’s done, Aquila’s problem is that he doesn’t acknowledge any wrongdoings. He thinks he’s completely justified in manipulating everyone around him, founding a cult of personality, and lying to his own allies.
Nanashi, it turns out, has both sides. He accepts that he’s done a lot of evil and a lot of good, but his heart’s still in turmoil. Somehow, his Awakening involves balancing this.
Party Relationship Changes
A Joker who isn’t afraid to commit real crimes makes the story rather different. I was considering a bit where they break into Camp Ichigaya to steal their guns.
I do, however, think that the adult Akiras want to keep the hands of the Phantom Thieves clean. To them, the Phantom Thieves are children, and they shouldn’t have to dirty their hands.
Nanashi is different, because immortality aside, he still sees himself as the same age as them. He still suggests murder as an easy and permanent solution; the only reason why he doesn’t do it is because it’s much easier to get caught here.
So I think it’s funny if the confrontation with Black Mask turns into a, “I’m more batshit than you” contest.
