Ok since Monika still has her admin powers in the side stories you think she could just discover them accidentally or use them without realizing
Anyways au where Monika and friends discover her admin powers but dont know about the wider context of what it means. So they just go around thinking Monika has magic and try practicing with a bunch of silly fun shenanigans because they figure it’s some chosen one bloodline stuff and not like. A product of their reality being a constricted digital science experiment.
This au will not end well
#yeah she probably needs the epiphany to consciously use it but hypothetical aus are fun and the angst potential it plentiful#the beauty of this au is that it contains potential for both wacky slice of life escapades and soul crushing angst#they’re like doing a dumb 3am ghost summoning ritual and Monika accidentally does some admin stuff and they’re like ‘woah your magic’#and they research a bunch of other dumb stupid rituals and nearly set the carpet on fire#they like try to rob a bank or cheat on a test and nearly delete half a building#and then at some point Monika suddenly extends her admin powers too far and acts real despondent for no reason#because she ends up epiphany beaming herself and is even more conflicted than base game because she grows so much more connected to the club#it’s even worse because they were her whole world and she knows so much she sees how human they are but they just aren’t apparently?????#and while she can’t pull a base game and kill everyone for a nonexistent player she still goes through so much angst and like#the girls notice and want to help but don’t know how because she won’t tell anyone and she keeps avoiding them and like aauughhh#it would probably end with Monika doing something drastic and trying to reach out for anyone out there who understands#and idk maybe she’ll find base game Monika post act 4 and she’s like ‘what the heck why did you abandon your friends don’t to what I did???’#and maybe she could fix her mistakes???? maybe not??????? whatever’s narratively fulfilling#shoot this was supposed to be a short post for a silly au what have I done#this feels like the plot of a kids tv show where the plot randomly gets really dark on its fifth season#also realizing al lot of the same plot points happen in my fantasy au so I really gotta get to that too#ddlc#doki doki literature club#tempestmothtalk

>be me >finish DAI and need a break >remember i wanted to refresh/analyze my fav author's dialogue style since i had been having trouble formatting my own >pick a random novella i remember liking but haven't read for many years and almost entirely forget the story of >it's the most solavellan coded literature i've ever read in my fucking life right down to the antagonist/deuteragonist/love interest being a guy who wears a wolf cloak and turns into a wolf who made a terrible mistake in his past and the heroine losing part of her hand
thanks brain. thanks a lot.
it's available to borrow on internet archive if you would like to torture yourself enjoy a good little read from an amazing author. (it's the 2nd story, starts on p. 125)
#i couldn't have made a dumber choice if i'd tried#there's literally a summoned spirit possessing a body and a religion that isn't what it seems#like it couldn't be any more on the nose#i would suspect it of being serial-numbers-filed-off-fic if it weren't from the 70s#my subconscious truly enjoys maximum suffering apparently#why would i expect to read tanith lee and not suffer emotionally though ig#dragon age#DA:I#solas#solavellan#tanith lee#the winter players

What if the ancient ghosts rigged the Ghost King’s (initially Pariah’s, except they had to link it to his title for it to stick) summons to always have to be answered if the Ghost King was available? Not as if bound to the location, but bound to the summoning circle to listen to the summoner’s demands. The Ghost King has to at least hear the summoner out. Not accept, not dismiss—essentially he was forced to listen to the terms and conditions of a potential deal.
This was to buy them time in case someone managed to summon Pariah Dark while they were preparing to the Sarcophagus of FS.
…Too bad no one happened to mention this little tidbit to Phantom when he got the title through conquest. (Or as the heir) Since the Infinite Realms are infinite, he’s technically available to every dimension and universe.
Clockwork was gonna get soup’d after this!
#danny phantom#danny fenton#infinite realms#ghost king danny#summoning circles#aka the Ghost King has to listen to the ‘terms and conditions’ of the summoner before deciding on whether or not to make a deal#nobody thought to tell Danny he is technically the heir apparent/ghost king#and technically “available“ at more times than the previously always sleeping Pariah Dark#fenton luck strikes again#multiverse#I’m tempted to call this: terms and conditions au.

Random OFMD fan: *is sad about OFMD getting canceled, ends their subscription to Max and signs a petition that takes less than 20 seconds to sign*
Tumblr rando: "where was this energy for Palestine? why aren't you boycotting McDonald's? why do you care more about woobified slavers???
Same OFMD fan: *hasn't been to McDonald's in over a decade; has the capacity to care about more than one thing*
#you should honestly be expecting people to summon more energy than that for actual politics#also anyone who uses the slavery argument should make sure they're not using it against fans who literally are slave-descended#*raises hand*#I can literally drive to botanical garden in Virginia that my enslaved ancestors worked on but okau#tell me more about how I apparently shouldn't enjoy a show giving its non-white cast the kind of space they have#or how I apparently need to double boycott a company I already don't give money to#because I had the audacity to stop giving money to another one#ofmd#our flag means death

hello hi tell us about mementos and the security level
OH HELLO. Welcome to my personal hill to die on. This post is long. It's one of my out-loud rants in text form. Sorry in advance. There's a cut down there somewhere.
Thesis statement of whatever's about to come next is that Mementos fucks actually as a concept its execution was just horrible and also Yaldabaoth is a terrible final boss. OKAY LET'S GET INTO IT
First things first I really do think Mementos should have gotten a security level. The game plays "Mementos is the public's Palace" very straight, all the way to the end, insisting that Yaldabaoth is created by the public's desire for a status quo yadda yadda yadda. So like. Here's the screenshots actually
I didn't get the whole conversation mostly because I think I was streaming at the time and complaining out loud but like. He just straight-up says this? And then they do nothing with it???
Imagine this with me. Enter the imagisphere or whatever.
It's October. You've just defeated Okumura, and you just watched the mysterious black-masked figure you've been told cryptically about for a while now kill his Shadow. You watch Okumura have a mental shutdown live. It's horrific! It's worrying! What happened? What's going to happen to you? The Phan-Site meter starts dropping rapidly. You go to Mementos to prepare for the next Palace.
There's a security level.
NOT ONLY did this act make the public lose faith in you, but now you're enemy #1, and it's reflected in the collective unconscious. This Chekov's gun that they set up back in May goes off. You have to be much more careful in Mementos because if you aren't, you could get kicked out. The stakes are higher. Mementos, the public view of you, has changed. It's not just doors opening for you anymore.
THAT WOULD BE SO COOL. RIGHT? RIGHT??? BUT NO! No we don't get a security level until the depths, which contradicts itself, actually, because once you get to the depths, the whole POINT is that the public ISN'T reacting to you or your actions! Why the hell would they care that you're In There!
The obvious answer is that it's because the security level belongs to the Holy Grail/Yaldabaoth/the fuckass cup/whatever you personally call him. And okay, whatever, but the game goes out of its way to establish that the Grail isn't really a separate entity from "public desire," he IS "public desire," the status quo incarnate, so once again, I ask, why is this the only time you have a security level! (I know it's because this is the home-stretch to the final boss and mechanically it has to act like a proper Palace. I still think it's stupid.)
And now that I'm talking about the Grail. Hi. Hello. If you've talked to me on Discord you already know this but I fucking hate the Grail. I think it's stupid. I think it's thematically inconsistent. I think its only purpose is to be the "Let's fight God!" final boss. I truly believe that if I hadn't gotten into Persona 5 through Royal, I would not still be into Persona 5, because I would have gotten so frustrated with Yaldabaoth that I would have dropped the game. I regularly complain for half an hour straight about this thing in voice calls. One person once told me the only thing they knew about Persona 5 was that this cup sucked because I wouldn't shut up about it.
I've somehow managed to not do this on Tumblr but I can't really talk about Mementos without talking about it so I guess we're talking about the cup
Narratively: Yaldabaoth just sort of comes out of nowhere??? The whole game is building up to Shido. The whole game. And you do it! You defeat him! And then... there's this other thing??? Apparently??? I was genuinely really confused when I got to this part of the game the first time because I was going ok we beat the final boss complete with eight hundred phases! Hooray! And now there's this other fucker. Going back through the game there's some foreshadowing for him? But it's kind of all concentrated in the start of the game, around Madarame's Palace, when you're just getting used to Mementos, and then it all sorta just disappears.
YOU KNOW WHAT IS FORESHADOWED, THOUGH? MORGANA.
Imagine with me x2 because this is where I thought the game was taking us when it went "btw we need to tackle the depths now"
Morgana has no memories. Morgana knows there's something in the depths that explains who he is. Morgana assumes it's because he's human, and will become human again if he finds out what it is. The WHOLE POINT of exploring Mementos was for Morgana's memories! And then he starts getting these really unsettling dreams, right, where he's a Shadow, or has a Shadow, or whatever. And then you get to the depths.
What I thought was about to happen was that we were going to find out that Morgana was more or less what the Grail claims to be(a being created by the wishes of the masses) and that Mementos was going to be Morgana's Palace. "Oh but Morgana has a Persona-" Morgana's already a weird case I could easily see him having a Shadow or being a Shadow himself while also having a Persona. I'm ignoring Maruki because we're talking about vanilla and Maruki didn't exist yet.
I thought our final boss was going to be Mona's Shadow and that by defeating him(the part of Morgana(as a Shadow/Metaverse being/etc) representative of what they were trying to make Yaldabaoth: wanting to let the status quo handle everything, more or less, the desire to let the system do what it's designed to even if that thing is "crush everything in its path") we would reaffirm that change is possible as long as we all work together. Morgana getting to be this very physical symbol of rebellion and force of will and getting to go NO I want to try even if it hurts me.
What actually happened was... a lot more underwhelming.
What we got was, in a game where one of the primary themes is "rebellion against systemic injustice, you can't just get rid of the One Guy and fix Everything," a final boss who was... one guy who if you got rid of him you'd fix everything?
And I get it Atlus doesn't want to actually shake the boat that much but at the same time Yaldabaoth comes out of nowhere and says absolutely nothing of substance in a game that, over and over again, gets SO CLOSE to saying something really powerful and then sinking back into what's comfortable. It's the aesthetic of rebellion without the teeth of it.
Anyway now that I've complained for an essay's worth here's some positive stuff
I really do like Mementos. It gets a lot of shit for being repetitive and boring and like I sort of get that but on the other hand it is a JRPG. I'm not sure what you expected from the area that is, mechanically, "Here's where you go to grind." I don't see a problem with having this area. I think the special floor events manage to spice it up enough that it's not all that boring. I like Jose being there in Royal, I think he adds a lot, actually. The implications of everything Jose says are fascinating to me. The fact it's impacted by the weather! Like, as a world component, Mementos is so so cool actually guys. I know it's a Persona game so "world impacted by cognition" is sort of the bare minimum but it's really cool!!! The aesthetics fuck! The only layer I really don't like is.. fuck, I think it's Kaitul? Whichever one gets unlocked after Kaneshiro's Palace, I haven't gotten there in my current playthrough yet. It's just... too dark to see, all the time, imo. Mementos feels(except for... 90% sure it's Chemdah) very oppressive and spooky and I honestly think that's great. It's a depressing place to be! For a game about how corruption and systemic violence hurts everybody, it's really good!
In conclusion... don't ask me about Mementos unless you want an essay LMAO in seriousness I understand why Mementos gets shit but I think it should get less of it. And also that I could have fixed it(the cup. The cup is the big bad part of Mementos. Not the grinding you're going to get that with a JRPG no matter what you do you signed up for it when you launched the game.)
#persona 5#mementos#loooong rant#mementos is my underdeveloped blorbo ive been getting slowly more unhinged about it for the last year or so#i NEED to write something fun about mementos. that isn't phanshuffle#the fun thing about mementos in phanshuffle is-- wait no im not supposed to be talking spoilers over here#packing phanshuffle back into its box not now#anyway yeah mementos is great. i should write that mona's palace au.#thank you anon i woke up and saw this and got so excited#i would provide screenshots for the Jose stuff but i don't apparently HAVE them???#I'll fix that on my next playthrough#here you go the cup rant in text form. i will give it again. i will elaborate even. i have such a grudge against this thing.#the best i can say for it is that the fight is flashy and fun and i do like akira summoning a persona the size of a building and shooting-#-him with a giant fuckoff gun. that was fun#but i think maruki is a much better final boss. by virtue of actually being thematically consistent#i'll talk about that too but not right now this was about mementos. and if i start talking about maruki its all over

I think the example of the aqueduct in the Red Canyon alongside with how among Seiros's miracles was creating a canal through Enbarr that was vital to it's growth, couple that with how humanity flourished due to Sothis sharing technology with them, I think the game might be hinting that technology regressed under the rule of Nemesis and the Agarthans, the latter keeping their own tech away from those they deemed as base animals.
TBH I'm always a bit miffed by the "technology" talks, because while Agartha sure kept Sothis' more advanced tech and current Fodlan was supposed to be "age of discovery" developed, we still have magic, like, people can warp around...
Tech in general regressed post Sothis vs Agarthans war, but we don't know how advanced/far Enbarr was before the WoH - of course they didn't have elevators, but indeed, I suppose that, in general, after this war, Fodlan had to rebuild itself without Sothis giving tech bonuses anymore to accelerate the growth and development of humans - and here would come the sci-fi principle of "giving tech when people are mature enough" or something, so maybe the Nabateans wanted to let humans develop themselves first, and then would have helped later on?
I still find it fascinating that when Rhea was apparently "roaming around Fodlan clinging to her desire of revenge", instead of directing the Enbarrites to build thousands of mecha-golems, she... made a canal for them.
#fantasyinvader#i wouldn't say Nemesis made tech regress under his rule or Agarthans but#after the first Agarthan War Fodlan was nuked#and the people there had to build everything back from scratch#maybe Nabateans were worried about Agartha 2 popping up so they didn't share their advanced tech#whatever that is#Zanado happens and Rhea doesn't get the memo she shares her blood and everything#that everything being how to build a canal and a bridge#and forts apparently#I happened on a redshit post today about uwu almyra has more tech than fodlan uwu isolationism#sure Lorenz mentions they have cannons on their ships but#uh dude#you can embark orbs that can cast magic afar on your own ships how is that different from a canon?#Doro goes to school for 5 months and she learns to summon meteors#who the fuck needs canons when you can produce lightning from your hands??#FE16#3 Nopes

I know people are upset about ER DLC lore stuff, but tbh I am having the time of my life playing this right now.
#by bug#I just keep accidentally finding new areas and getting distracted from the main stuff#and some of the new things that were added are legitimately cool#and some of the areas!!! are so beautiful!!!#that being said I also am not someone who was like. hoping the lore would turn out one way or another#I don’t really care and depending on what it is I might even like it idk yet#I have no real attachment to mohg and/or miquella so whatever happens happens ig#I do think the idea of st. trina is cool as hell though#and overall idk I like the DLC so far and feel like it’s been on par with or even a bit higher than some past FS DLCs tbh#the one thing I will complain about with ER in general is I wish more bosses gave you any room to breathe at all#I know they kind of set it up intending for people to use spirit summons#but sometimes I want to do it on my own#and when you use a really heavy weapon it’s almost barely feasible for some of the fast chaos bosses#unless you can get distance for a wind up and the boss staggers easily lol#and in ER that is apparently asking for a lot sometimes

so strange how i can be flashed by man made horrors and the only thing i can do about it is block the tag ‘ai sexy’
#im not kidding#an ai generated photo of a FULLY NAKED lady popped up unsearched for#and she was so unreal (and young) looking too#perfectly symmetrical bosom#NO body hair#giant doll eyes#teeny waist#but perfectly smooth thick thighs#looked about as real as a unicorn#no actually those are more realistic#anti ai#no ai art#fuck ai#not literally#like some freaks apparently#im aware that on the internet (tumblr especially) you are going to see some things in you don’t want to#thats just part of it#but what makes this so much worse to me is the ease with which it was created and accessed#if you wanted to make creepy art or writing in the past you had to have the skills to do so or the money to commission it#now it can be summoned with a few words and mass produced by accounts like that one#which seems like maybe not a good thing to me#rant post#sorry

made a bingo card for the remainder of the 10th anniversary story based on my baseless speculation
#granblue fantasy#some were suggested by my friend#the ennead one is supposed to be ennead cast becomes our friends despite trying to kill us#but it kept not looking good in the preview so i shortened it down to what it is now#big tiddy astaroth is the demon god astaroth boss in co-op by the way#apparently people don't know or remember but uh. in the co-op fight you initially face magus#who then summons astaroth's bones to fight you#which then reforms into regular astaroth#and then they fuse into the big tiddy lady whose face is on the astaroth anima#anyway i anticipate them fusing into big tiddy astaroth at some point in the event because of that#everyone dies lmao is more of a joke than anything but it could refer to the classic fakeout death(s)

today i learned the reason why dsrk2 is relatively rare is because atlus decided to sell the english localized version of the game in limited quantities probably bc of the raiho bundle plush but BRO why do companies do this
#they never wanted him to make it in the west smh they could’ve made more money#no wonder why you barely hear about the duology especially not 2#atlus i beg port the damn games to modern hardware i may own at least 2 but not everyone does#and apparently the ps3 ports of ps2 megaten titles are shit#so they have no right to ignore him#shantien rambles#devil summoner
