Ann frowns, shuffling her weight on her heels like a wellworn deck of cards. "Your sister's heart was... distorted. Did she ever... HURT you? Even just if it was... like... emotionally...?" (FOR SAD QUESTIONS MEME!)

The Tough Questions // @charismastatic

It was a loaded question, she thought. Above all else, the Phantom Thieves of Hearts punished those who mistreated others, whose foul deeds ruined lives and spread suffering. Of all their ‘villainous’ targets, the group’s desire to change her sister’s heart stemmed from a desperation to clear their names, and not to punish the wicked. It could even be said that Sae never truly hurt anyone, and had only been caught up in the Metaverse conspiracy by chance -- that the Phantom Thieves were ultimately selfish in targeting her. But, there was one person who suffered the most under the woman’s distorted gaze...

“..Does it really matter, Ann? In the end, she came around.” The subject was deeply personal to her. There was a chance that Sae had used her position as a prosecutor to forge evidence and wrongly convict innocents for the sake of victory, but that was an inherent flaw in the Japanese justice system, and not necessarily a problem exclusive to her sister. No, the only one who could prove that Sae had hurt others was Makoto herself. And, how could she..? Her sister was the only family she had left. She wanted to save her on her own -- to change her heart without telling the others... without infiltrating her Palace.

But, she couldn’t. The Niijima family’s greatest flaw was their pride... Their father died in pursuit of justice -- in order to uphold his pride as a police officer. Sae’s pride could not accept the sexist, cutthroat workplace she toiled away in. Her pride couldn’t accept a loss in that male-dominated profession. She had to win, no matter what. And Makoto... her pride left her quiet. She had known of the Palace within her own sister since the very moment she learned how to use the Meta-Nav. She had known for months that Sae was distorted, and yet she said nothing to her teammates, to the ones who trusted her. She wanted to save her sister on her own... but, she couldn’t.

The Priestess tensed, fingernails digging into her opposite wrist, clasped at her side as they were. Their previous targets had all hurt countless people, including some of her teammates. But, with Sae... only Makoto was truly victimized. It would have been beyond selfish to speak of it now, as if she were putting her own trauma on a pedestal above the dozens that Kamoshida had abused, above the students Madarame had neglected and used, above the hundreds of lives ruined by Kaneshiro and Okumura’s avarice. No, she would... bear this pain alone. “She found her justice again. That’s... all that matters.”

“Mostly? Oh boy...So what are we supposed to do with him?” Hopefully not ‘finish the job,’ because that is more of Jessie and Biggs’ forte. Wedge doesn’t mind killing when it’s kill or be killed, but when it comes down to killing an unarmed, disadvantaged person in cold blood? Not his gig, bro.

“Of course this would happen. Nothing can ever be easy, can it?”

“Wait - you know who I’m talking about?”

Recounting one of her photoshoots to Ann in an attempt to build camaraderie with her new...coworker?...had managed to dredge up a connection that she never would have dreamed of. Hifumi blinked in surprise a little before chuckling, shaking her head.

“I’m sorry, but...isn’t she simply the worst? She seemed so adamant to try and attach herself to me in some way as well. My mother said that Mika likely saw it as an opportunity to further her own reputation at expense of my own.”

@charismastatic​ replied to your post: i love this! great use of the setting!

thank you !!! does it make sense or have any like ??? glaring inaccuracies ?? i cant bring myself to look at it anymore or overthink it but im still really focused on it for some reason & input is always welcome !!!

[chegadesaudade]

ONE. what is ur hc for why iris behaves so childishly like with the rhyming? is she just Like That, or was it the brain tumor, or her idol persona? TWO. what fear/insecurity inside her does naix represent? does she believe people will be 'suddenly taken away' like date&thats her way of explaining it&manifesting the fear, or is it a result of her online bullies&the late fear of always being watched? OR ARE THESE BOTH THINGS ALTOGETHER SOMETHING DIFFERENT? i'm so curious as to ur thoughts tbh

Long (and very spoilery) stuff, so it’s going under a cut!

For ONE, I think she really is just Like That! Some of it could be her stage presence, the need to market herself as innocent and unspoiled  (I’m working on a post about the J-Pop idol industry and it is not a positive post). But even in one-on-one conversations with Date, she still has that childish affect - making silly noises, pulling funny faces, or repeating a word ten times. So I think that’s just who she is. 

( I don’t think it’s the tumor. In fact, I’d wager that the tumor’s had the complete opposite effect - it’s made her think extra-critically about the world around her, and see corruption where other people would see nothing.)

As for TWO, that’s a brilliant question.

There’s elements of what you said. The pressure of always having to ‘perform’, even without a camera, and the combination of a fear of being watched with the necessity of having an audience. Even before her tumor, she could have reached a point when, even when she was asleep in her bed, she could feel incorporeal eyes piercing through her.

I think even more than that, though, is the necessity to make order out of chaos. That’s the rationale for a lot of conspiracy theories - linking dozens upon dozens of disparate events into a unified, cohesive story. Think about where Iris is at in 2019: she’s got a year left to live. She’s trying to finish high school and launch a career, but she’ll never reap the benefits of either success. She’s an idol that’s losing fans, and the ones that are left are always in To-Witter wars. She’s a dancer who’s been forced to stop dancing, the one thing that consistently brought her joy for so many years. One of her father figures (Falco) disappears without a warning, and another (Renju) quickly turns up dead. If the entire universe seems to be conspiring against you, no matter how positive you keep your outlook, wouldn’t it be natural to put a name to that faceless evil? 

That’s what I think NAIX is. Everything that’s happened in her life can easily be folded into a narrative, combined with standard alien New World Order theories. And when actual hitmen start coming after her, can you blame her for not having a better explanation?

@charismastatic​ replied: i just want to tell you i LOVE these arcana swaps and i LOVE you using the persona 2 lore.... iconic behavior tbh

I think that there was a theory way back in 2017 where Akira was originally supposed to be the justice card instead of the fool and I just ran with it, like so many others. Not to mention that he’s heavily set about justice. Even his ultimate persona when you summon them in the velvet room talks about his worth of justice. It just made sense to me to have at least a verse where he was that arcana. Now for the moon arcana swap, it’s more of my own take on which one he could had been if not being a wildcard. Not to mention it’s associated with his birthday zodiac and his element affinity, water.

And yeah, the persona 2 lore is great even if there is a lot to tackle because there is so much info out there and sometimes my head overloads when trying to thread it into Akira’s backstory. Once again, there was a theory way back in 2017 where it was rumored that he was from Sumaru and everyone including me ran with it, just like with the justice arcana theory. Although, most everyone at the time thought that he was the adopted son of Tatsuya and Jun. I personally thought he acted and behaved more like Maya than anyone else and got his sense of justice and the love of cooking/baking from Katsuya. Plus, I’m a sucker for KatsuMaya and just ran with it. I can totally see Akira as their kid and Maya letting ‘uncle’ Tatsuya suggest naming him after that motorbike anime movie, AKIRA. Lmao. Also, Akira has a lot of facial features that look almost identical to Maya and Katsuya also has the down shot ability during a cut-scene in persona 2. I could go on and on about how Akira’s so much like Maya and Katsuya but we would be here for awhile so I’ll stop there. xD

Calm down? Really? This insufferable piece of shit who constantly screamed at the top of his lungs and picked fights at every opportunity was telling him to calm down?! The very thought only sent the detective into an angrier fit as he typed out the most biting retort he could muster via text.

[txt; Sakamoto] I’ll calm down when you learn to keep your damn mouth shut you hypocritical ignoramus! [txt; Sakamoto] Oh, I’m sorry. Was that message too complicated for you? Let me simplify it. [txt; Sakamoto] Shut the hell up until you follow your own damn advice!

Soft  // @charismastatic​ sent:  

 [ embrace ] ( from ann ! )

For a moment, it felt as if her breath was stolen away. That hitch in her throat, that tension seizing in every fiber of her body... all signs of shock at the sudden token of affection. Makoto was frozen -- paralyzed in the arms of the other, and she realized far too late just how starved she was. It had been years since she last felt the embrace of another... years since her father had died, leaving her bereft of the hugs and validation he would always offer. Even Sae blessed her with such affection back then, but now...

..When was the last time she had hugged her sister? Not even the occasional pat on the head from Sae was enough to overcome her overwhelming feelings of loneliness. Until recently, no one had ever dared to approach her. Her peers were all intimidated by her position as the student council president, and by the way she carried herself. It might have been bearable if she had someone at home to cling to, but, even Sae -- the only family she had left, the only person she loved -- neglected her, and left her alone and wanting time and time again. 

So many nights alone in their apartment, spent softly weeping until sleep claimed her. So many times she tried to reach out to her sister, only to be shot down and insulted. So many days she wished for her father to somehow come back, to make everything right again. It was all so pathetic... Makoto was pathetic. That such a simple gesture -- this hug from Ann -- could dredge up so many painful and hopeful feelings all at once... it was pathetic. 

The Priestess couldn’t take it. She couldn’t allow herself to lose control of her emotions, not now, not in front of someone who looked up to her and relied upon her. For as desperate as she was to melt into the other girl’s chest, to let the emotions welling in her own to burst forth, her stubborn pride denied it. Hands found Ann’s chest, but only to push, gentle and decisive, enough to put that small distance between them once more. Her hands immediately retreated, clasped in her lap and stared at. Makoto couldn’t look at Ann, not right now. She couldn’t bear to see the confusion and hurt that had no-doubt filled those baby blue eyes. “I-I’m sorry, you... startled me.”
