[arseneandhismalefriends]

During the dark hour shadows can suddenly move around and can create interrogation rooms at will, in these Interrogation rooms the shadow can choose to fuck the person they trapped inside the room, also it’s worth mentioning that once trapped in a interrogation room the shadow will proceed to interrogate you you have to do as the shadow says, which involves taking your clothes off and letting the shadow attack fuck or rape you. Of course SEES has to deal with this new version of the dark hour, the underwear system in this game is provided through by Ikutsuki to protect the genitalia area of SEES from shadows, once the shadows hit you hard enough your clothes get torn up, if they hit

you hard enough after that your clothes rip off and your only in your underwear.

Also Arsene isn’t the leader here because Arsene got cocky and got attacked raped and eventually had a mental shutdown because of the experience causing Orpheus to take the other P5 phantom thief males under his wing.

Main cast underwear types: Orpheus: boxers with a harp themed design on them Hermes: greyish briefs with a wing symbol on the top of it Polydeuces and Castor: bricky speedos ( same as in canon design.) Nemesis: it’s saw acts as it’s underwear when it breaks Cerberus: no underwear

Thanatos: BDSM Themed jockstrap Zorro: Cyan blue briefs with a black colored rose symbol on them Kidd: a greyish yellow speedo with a pirate skullflag on it Goemon: a fundoshi with a diamond pattern on it Robin Hood: dark brown boxers with a golden brim around it. Loki: Red and grey Hipster type underwear with a face print on it that looks like a grin Valijean: a dark indigo blue jockstrap with a chain print on it.

I had to go back and fix some of the lyrics for the prior ones but ive worked more on this thing (the song is thankfully only 2min so its p short) but ogh im having fun (:

So I have been uh....stricken with divine madness (an idea for a pmv) so have the uh...sketches for the first like...nine frames. (Can you tell I've been playing P3R the Answer? (I won't call it Episode Aigis it is not happening) lmao)

The song is A Good Thing by Kyle Stibbs and it felt very much like smthn about Ken and his Entire Vengeance Quest. The plan is to use off-white and off-black (desaturated) for stark contrasting images and then for splashes of color, extremely saturated colors for like...yknow...blood and the moon and eyes. The usual lol.

Castor and Nemesis why are you so hard to drawwwwwwwww? Mean to me.

(p3 spoilers for events in October!!!)

What would Shinji's awakened Persona have been? I often think about this and I think Hector of Troy is my favorite answer.

Hector is the most skilled warrior on Troy's side in the Iliad, in keeping with the martial skill that both Castor and Polydeuces embody. Hector is also often portrayed as a reasonable, caring and loving person and an affectionate husband, which I think are traits that fit Shinji really well - much better than the bloodthirst and anger of, say, Ajax or Achilles. Hector strongly opposes the war in The Trojan War Will Not Take Place and Wikipedia says his nobility is a key trait in Shakespeare's Troilus and CressidaI.

I also like the idea of picking a Trojan hero for Shinji. I always understood the choice of the Roman Caesar -as opposed to another Greek figure like is tradition - for Aki as representative of his personal growth leading him away from his childhood friend and to more independance. It makes sense to me to have Shinji's awakened Persona mirror this, moving eastwards rather than westwards.

Hector would still keep a connection to Julius Caesar though; they are both among the Nine Worthies, a group of 9 historical and mythological figures viewed during the Middle Ages as the apex of chivalry.

As a little treat, Hector is also killed during the siege of Troy, so it keeps the macabre theming Castor had.

(idk man i also just really really like Hector and NO ONE ever talks about him it's always Achilles this Heracles that. FUCK THAT i stan loving husband and good dad)

what has been happening in the world of motorsports?

(2.0 electric boogaloo edition)

Mohammed Ben Sulayem is under internal investigation for pushing officials not to certify Las Vegas gp as safe for racing and also for trying to interfere over Fernando Alonso getting a penalty in Jeddah 2023 race (he got a 10 second post race penalty which promoted... George i think? but later the penalty was overturned and he reclaimed the p3 and got his trophy back the next gp), apparently he also asked Max Verstappen to publicly defend/support/back Christian Horner as a way to calm down the situation where everyone talked about nothing but his workplace bahaviour (I suppose Max refused so that's kudos to him for doing the correct thing)

Aston Martin Vantage Safety Car will debut in Saudi Arabia (and will be back in British green)

there are loads of rumours about Red Bull and Horner currently, some are about him attempting to buy the RBR team, some are about Jos Verstappen being intimate with the same woman that accused Horner of inappropriate workplace behaviour, so he is personally interested in the case, after pictures and videos of Jos Verstappen and Toto Wolff appeared online, new rumours about Max Verstappen potentially going to Mercedes in fear of Red Bull falling appart with Ford looking for a way out of 2026 deal appeared too and Marko and Newey hypothetically following him there, after his comments Jos Verstappen is told not to be attending Saudi Arabia gp which may also be a part of solution they tried to find yesterday in Dubai where Max Verstappen's representatives apparently met with Horner (side note: this is another plea not to share any details about the victim which goes both for her pictures and her name, please don't make it harder as it undeniably already is)

Heikki Kovalainen has been forbidden from rally driving by his doctor in fear of his medical condition getting worse with the sport

Alpine announced new workers (after they fired basically everyone and the rest left on their own): Joe Burnell as engineering technical director, David Wheater as technical director of aero, and Ciaron Pilbeam as performance technical director

Mohammed Ben Sulayem spent some time in Turkey this week to talk to the president about a potential return of Turkish gp (probably as a part of a new rotation programme I mentioned in previous round up)

Abbi Pulling will be racing in British F4 Championship besides F1 Academy this year

Gerhard Berger's long lost Ferrari car was returned to him after police located it late last year

last week's Bahrain GP was the first time in history where all 20 cars finished the opening race of the season (speaking of Bahrain, Charles, Lewis and George were losing around 5/6 tenths per lap due to their car issues, Carlos, Logan and Alex also experienced smaller gap in pace because of their issues)

Williams announced their fanzone locations for 2024 season (Australia, Japan, Miami, Canada, Spain, Great Britain, Singapore, Austin, Las Vegas)

Spanish king Juan Carlos was at Bahrain GP and before you ask yourself, yes he took a picture with Carlos Sainz sr and Carlos Sainz jr (also fun fact he was involved in money-laundering case with Saudi Arabia but Swiss prosecutor had to drop the case due to lack of evidence)

Saudi Arabia showed plans for Qiddiya track to host gp from 2027 onwards designed by Tilke which features a turn 20 stories above ground level which could replace Jeddah in the future (did they heard us complaining about jeddah being dangerous and decided to make it even more dangerous?)

Red Bull Racing scored a record breaking new multiple-year partnership deal with Castore worth about 200m dollars

Otmar Szafnauer teamed up with Soft Pauer to make an app which is meant to help F1 teams with travel plans and Hitech is already a client of his while he claims Alpine also downloaded it

Pato O'Ward agreen on multi-year IndyCar contract extension with McLaren

From fan's point of view:

please be prepared for pr wars this year at multiple places: between Yuki and Daniel (recently due to highly controversial team order call), Charles and Carlos (recently due to false media narrative about car issues), Lewis and George (recently about effectivity of different race set ups)

we have press conference for tomorrow made up by: Lance, Charles, Nico, George, Yuki and Val (we also have one for team principals made of Bruno Famin from Alpine, Mike Krack from Aston Martin, Christian Horner from Red Bull Racing and James Vowles from Williams)

C2 challenges are back for this year with first of their quickfire challenges being already posted

little rant about the "F1 pundits" not checking their sources, because you might have seen the discourse but not get the background: Lawrence Baretto posted his usual section "Losers and Winners" of Bahrain gp and posted Charles in the section category (which would be correct considering he lost out on P2 because of brake issues), but he clearly went off with what Carlos said in the media and claimed that both drivers had the same issues - a fact that Charles, Xavi, and Fred himself disputed

more drivers did photo dumps: Alex, Yuki, Carlos

some drivers were modelling, particularly Charles, Carlos and Daniel

Max Verstappen made some championship predictions (Verstappen, Hamilton, Leclerc) and there has been a lot of talk about him not mentioning Perez so just a PSA

reminder that this week the gp is on Saturday because of Ramadan and besides F1, you can also look forward to F2, F1 Academy and Indycar races

[brookeginko]

feeling hateful here are some p3 fan red flags

-disliking yukari because she’s ‘mean.’ you don’t have to be her #1 fan or anything but she acts like a normal teenage girl and i guarantee if she was a male character instead no one would have this issue with her

-making jokes abt akihiko not understanding social cues every four seconds

-alternatively bringing up his autistic-coding every four seconds. yes he is autistic-coded. no, a screenshot of him saying the word ‘yes’ does not need to be captioned with ‘OMG HE’S SO AUTISTIC I NEED TO SHOOT AND KILL HIM’

-liking ryoham but not ryomina/liking aikoto but not hamugis

-or alternatively agreeing with the whole ‘ryomina is weird because Makoto’s his surrogate mother’ tweet that got memed a while back

-frequently call makoto or shinjiro ‘emo’

-or saying that p3 is the ‘emo’ or ‘edgy’ persona game

-door-kun toaster aigis

-genuinely hcing that yukari is homophobic bc of that one meme (YES I’VE SEEN THIS.)

-seeing chidori only as an extension of junpei

-sexualizing any of SEES including the third years

-mitsuru fans that use the word mommy to describe her

-thinking akihiko is a cool chad gym bro. this one i don’t mind as much since it’s not super apparent if you haven’t played portable im just very particular about my hiko characterization

-BUT if you mention protein whenever he’s brought up… ☹️

-thinking makoto has no personality behind ‘I don’t care’ ESPECIALLY if they’re referring to p3m

-thinking ken was responsible for shinjiro’s death

-bringing up the ken romance every time someone mentions kotone

-policing anyone for using a different name for the protagonists

-shitting on reload because it’s new. I’m not talking about actual criticism because I have some too but just. wahhhhh reload bad it has no soul wahhhhhhhh provides no evidence

-going along w above ive seen people bitching that reload is ‘woke’ because of bi ryoji. cry me a river he’s been bi since portable

-also going along with above. coming up with excuses for any of the canon bi p3 characters (kotone aigis ryoji) not actually being bi

-you think akishinji is a proship because of Castor and Polydueces

-akimina shippers who woobify makoto. i guess this goes for any makoto ship but i’ve seen it the worst with akimina

-shitting on any non problematic ships

-you try to correct people’s ship names because its ’not the canon name.’ You can take akimina from my cold dead hands I’m not calling it akimako

Persona 3 - Shinji and Castor

[yusuke-of-valla]

You know, I do appreciate how P3 obscures Shinjiro's death in the game design. Castor learns skills up through the 70's, same as everyone else, and Reload gave him a Theurgy and a complete set of Combat Characteristics, in case you hang out with him enough times in September. He, for all intents and purposes, behaves as a normal party member.

OH FUCK RIGHT HE DIES IN A MONTH

I shouldn't be skipping hang out chances with him FUCK

[narrators-journal]

‘Fan of Au’ huh? Well if you Insist. RedRiding p3 au

How do the Persona react to the ‘Pretty Bird’?

How often does Ryoji set his courting goals onto Orpheus when Mint isn’t responding?

So, now seems like a p good time to remind yall that I have not touched the persona 3 game. I know my knowledge from google, my honeybee, and the movies alone. So, if these personas have personalities, don't come for me, I deadass only knew three of them by name without google lololol

Hermes

Hermes is a pretty laid back persona, much like his creator, but he's also pretty efficient with his work. So, having a shadow just...vibing around would be annoying at first, but he'd get used to it. So long as he's not a threat, Hermes is fine.

Io

Io is much like Yukari. She has some raging trust issues, and is a little hot tempered. So, having Ryoji around makes her uncomfortable, but she's pretty quick to adjust. It's the shit like him running around, screaming for attention or food, or being creepy that would eat at her whenever they meet.

Penthesilea

As a persona meant more for recon than fighting, Penthesilea fucking HATES Ryoji with a passion. Mitsuru doesn't mind him, feeling he's more like a cat or a puppy. Cute, but slightly annoying. Her persona though, is not a fan. She's aware of how much of a threat Ryoji is, after all, so they don't get along.

Juno

Juno is like Penthesilea, she doesn't like Ryoji. She's a very aware persona, so his threat level makes her hostile. Which is, yet again, a difference from Fuuka's personal opinions. where Fuuka rather likes Ryoji because he's cute and harmless, and will eat her cooking, but her persona is guarded and distrustful of him.

Nemesis

So long as Ken likes Ryoji and is unharmed, Nemesis doesn't mind the little shadow. She keeps an eye the little creature, but otherwise is unphased by him being around. Ken likes him pretty well and maybe even wants his own pet shadow.

Castor

Castor met Ryoji exactly once and proceeded to try and stomp him into a bloody puddle. For the sake of Shinji and Minato not getting into fisticuffs, and Castor not nearly getting bitten in half a second time. They are never put together again, and when Castor does make the odd appearance on emergency missions, Ryoji is kept firmly under Minato's arm in his 'snow suit'.

Ceasar

Admittedly, Ceasar couldn't care less about Ryoji being around. So long as the shadow isn't being hostile and doesn't give him a reason, he won't go looking for a fight. While Akihiko might be a tad lacking in strategy, Ceasar does try to think ahead. And mauling a shadow he has seen take on Castor without breaking a sweat is just, not a good use of his energy.

Orpheus

Orpheus is...conflicted about the little shadow, much like his wielder. On one hand, the little bird creature is darkly cute, so he's very fond of him. But, he's also shown a human level of comprehension and an aggressive desire to have his user as a 'mate'. So, while he does care for the creature, he's also weirdly flattered at his affections and is admittedly more attached than he normally is. Yet, those opinions do waver a bit whenever Ryoji goes out on a mission with the group and starts puffing up or bringing him food to try and court the persona. Orpheus doesn't know what to do about that, and isn't sure what that means, if anything.

Thoughts on the P3 casts personas? i.e which do you prefer between the initial and secondary personas and which are your favourites?

Oh god thank Rui ily for this

Ok so I'll keep this one fairly opinion based (because someone else asked me a very similar question and I thought fuck it I'll rant about them twice because Personas and their designs are my fav thing to talk about) so without further ado:

So in general I absolutely adore the Persona 3 cast's Personas. Design wise they're not as flashy as P5's but I feel like they don't need to be because their more muted color palette and simpler designs fit the tone of P3 well. There are some I love to pieces (Penthesilea, Artemisia, Caesar, Castor and Cerberus come to mind) and then there are some that I don't like that much (Polydeuces and Nemesis). I'll put a more detailed breakdown undercut because I know I'll get carried away lmao but those are my general thoughts!

I'll break them down by character so it's easier!

MC/FeMC: OK so I do have a preference for male Orpheus but I honestly like both! Female Orpheus has a more cheery color palette (well brighter is prob the better word) which I like a lil more but I think the original one is just iconic. I love his harp and how he uses it to bash enemies idk why that's so funny to me it just is. Thanatos is probably one of my favorite designs ever I love that guy so much. I love his mask and I love how beast like he is. And the coffins? Absolute banger design. Messiah is overall a good design but I'm not as fond of it? It's very well executed but I think because it's so late in the game and it's just not as iconic as the other two I'm kinda meh about it you know. Thanatos is my fav for the MCs (and if he doesn't count for whatever reason then Orpheus).

Junpei: I don't have too much to say about Hermes design wise other than I like him! I like his bird look and tbh my fav thing about him is actually his attack animations! The way he slides into enemies is really satisfying to me idk why. Trismegistus though. God I love him so much. Mostly because of his awakening scene that is honestly one of the highlights of the game (like a lot of the second tier awakenings) and the fact his design is a fusion of Hermes and Medea is just so so good. I def prefer him.

Yukari: I really enjoy both Io and Isis a lot. I really like their designs and their lore and how it ties into Yukari's own story! However compared to some of the others, these designs kinda fall in the middle of the pack for me. Solid looks but nothing crazy you know? I think I slightly prefer Isis because of her wings I think that's such a cool design feature.

Akihiko: Ah my boy. He has one of the best and the worst persona designs of the cast for me. Polydeuces is such a dope choice for him as a Persona. Picking the immortal half of the Gemini twins for him and giving Shinji the other one is so so so so good and I could rant all day about why I love the concept. The design? Ugly af I'm sorry 😭 I cannot stand it it looks so weird the big bulky body with the skinny little legs looks so off-putting and his hair is just so weird? I don't like it at all 💀 Caesar however???!! Absolutely ADORE him. Such a powerful looking design and I love the lil person who sits in his chest (I'm one of the "it represents Shinji" people because I just love that idea so much). Caesar def is my preference here.

Fuuka: I really love Fuuka's Personas because of how she interacts with them. I really like how she's encased inside the persona and I think both Lucia and Juno look really really good. Unfortunately they're kinda similar to Yukari's for me in that they're like both very good but just don't stand out as much as some of the others. I prefer Lucia for her lore and I prefer Juno's design so 🤷‍♂️

Mitsuru: Oh baby. I absolutely adore Penthesilea and Artemisia to DEATH. I have written essays on here about the details of their designs and how they fit Mitsuru as a character so so well. Probably two of my favorites in the entire series. If I had to pick I think I'd give the slight edge to Artemisia because the fact that she has that red mask symbolizing the fact Mitsuru is finally coming out of her shell and letting down her walls a little makes me so so emotional.

Koromaru: Cerberus is a very very good boy. I think it's a really on the nose design but there's nothing wrong with that he's perfect. 10/10 would pet and give treats.

Ken: I think Ken's personas have the same deal as Akihiko's for me but to a lesser degree. I don't like Nemisis that much. I don't hate it as much as I hate Polydeuces, I just think it looks really awkward. I could see what they were going for and the blade saw thing is cool it just looks... Kinda weird. Idk. Kala-nemi on the other hand I much prefer! I think it does the over exaggerated proportions much better than Polydeuces (it's big bulky shoulders look and move really well) and I like the lore behind it. It's not a massive favorite but I enjoy it.

Aigis: Honestly I like both Palladion and Athena a lot. They're both really solid designs and they fit Aigis super well! I'd have to give the edge to Athena though because I love the big shields that circle her. Really cool touch.

Shinjiro: Oh god Castor. I adore Castor so so much. Such a fantastic design. The horse the blade in the chest just everything about him. He looks like Polydeuces but just so so much better. Brilliant design def one of my favs in the series.
