Makoto/Futaba!

Send me a ship and I’ll give you my (brutally) honest opinion on it

((JUST LOOK AT THEM!!! Several cutscenes in the game show them standing right next to each other, or outright clinging to each other, so it’s very clear that they’re special to one another. Some people might look at that and go ‘NOW KISS’ but I really and truly don’t believe this is a romantic attachment at all. 

I personally feel that Futaba simply isn’t ready for the commitment of a romantic relationship. It’s not necessarily a matter of maturity or anything like that… It’s more that, she’s still recovering from years of crippling self-loathing, anxiety, and depression. She’s already showing a lot of signs of improvement as the plot of Persona 5 progresses, but she still has a long way to go. 

I think she’s at a point with her mental health where she needs unconditional care and support above all else, not the complex emotions and thoughts that come with romance and sex, and Makoto recognizes that. She dotes on Futaba the most, and takes extra caution not to do or say something that would make her uncomfortable. And we can see Futaba’s gratitude in spades, with the way she tends to cling to Makoto and rely on her. 

It’s a (somewhat rare) occurrence of a platonic OTP for me. Makoto can reclaim some of that lost sisterly affection that she longs for (thanks to how strained her relationship with Sae has become since their father died), and Futaba has someone who will always strive to care for her and make sure she is comfortable. The two of them are absolutely precious, and I will go down with this platonic ship!!))

“Futaba,” the boy’s voice came out from the other side of the door, “Come on. You can’t chicken out of this now. We’re just going to the shrine, it’s no different than the electronics store... okay, it doesn’t have electronics, but still.” Akira sighs as he sat outside of her door. “If you don’t hurry, it’s going to rain.”

If there was one place where Hibiki could truly let loose and be even the littlest bit social, it was the internet. With the somewhat comforting concept of anonymity and the presence of a screen between him and the other speaker, he felt it was somewhat easier to talk to others about every day general topics. Even though he preferred to spend most of his time being isolated, even he understood that no human could truly live without some form of interaction with others.

Hibiki hopped onto his most frequented chat room server and clicked connect. The beauty of the site was that it connected to strangers based off of filters that match each other, and for today, his filter revolved around games. Most of the time the conversation kept around the filters, but from time to time it strayed into different topics, and such mystery was what provided Hibiki with his modicum of enjoyment.

After a short wait, the website had connected him to another stranger. Without a second thought, he began to type away his greeting that he had typed hundreds of times before, and in a few seconds, he hit enter and sent off his greeting to the one beyond the screen.

“Hello there. How might you be doing today?” Hibiki asked. He knew this wasn’t how most people talked on the internet, but he had no desire to learn about senseless internet slang. If people didn’t like his formalities, then they could hit the disconnect button and be well on their way. Hibiki also wasn’t fond of sending a barrage of questions out of the get go. He may have set a filter to meet people with a common interest, but it shouldn’t stop people from abandoning their etiquette and greeting each other properly.

     The Phantom Thieves are something of an unlikely group.  What are the odds that a number of criminally gifted disenfranchised youths all happen to be within the Tokyo suburbs and run into each other?  My working response is that I’m a Wild Card and naturally gravitate toward interesting people, but there are limits to cosmic coincidence that even I don’t believe I can cross.  One of them happens to be centered around one Futaba Sakura, the girl who’s more or less become my surrogate little sister.

     The mint green and white striped sheets crinkle under my weight as I sit atop her bed, my arms and legs crossed.  From the other side of her dimly lit room, Futaba sits fetal in her chair, her graceful fingers rapidly moving from key to key after each successful tap.  She’s been at this for an hour or so, coding some program I’m probably better off not know the contents of.

     “Futaba...”  I say, attempting to remind her of my presence and draw her away from her work.  To little surprise, my attempt appears entirely futile.

     Futaba is the daughter of Wakaba Isshiki, a government researcher who pioneered the supernatural field of cognitive psience, the mechanics behind how we navigated the Metaverse.  Unfortunately, this research was discovered by a certain politician who had Wakaba killed and stole her research.  In the process of covering up her murder, Futaba was subjected to extreme mental trauma and withdrew herself from the public.  The extreme coincidence of us both suffering directly at the hands of bald mountain aside, that’s not what’s giving me pause.

     She’s only a fifteen, soon becoming sixteen, year old girl and yet she is still inarguably one of the world’s greatest cyber-security experts.  Being the daughter of a genius, she certainly has a genetic predisposition to having a gifted intellect herself, but natural intelligence can only carry you so far.  The level she codes on puts to shame professionals in the industry.  Even the most die hard black hats can barely keep pace with her.  Despite this, there’s no evidence to suggest she has any kind of teacher on the subject.  Just the opposite in fact.  From what Sojiro told us about the books she asked for back when she was a shut-in, she appears to be entirely self-taught.  To essentially learn an advanced text based language entirely on her own without the help of a fluent speaker, it’s unprecedented, to say the least.  We really should get her IQ tested sometime.

     However, exactly how smart she is isn’t what I’m trying to learn today.  “Fuuuutaba,” I say, lilting my voice as she finally spins her chair around the face me.  “You said you were going to tell me how you got into coding.  Is there some kind of elaborate multimedia presentation you’re putting together for it or...?”

     Today, I’m here to figure exactly how the hell Futaba Sakura became the world’s best hacker.

“Whooooaaa! A talking bird! Say, you don’t happen to know about a talking cat, do you?”

The bird gives her what can only be described as an ‘accusatory look’.

{{ And what makes you think I associate with cats? In case you haven’t noticed, I’m basically a flying snack to them! }}

“Oh..!”

As Futaba embraced her, hands instinctively settled upon the younger girl’s hips. Once the momentary surprise had subsided, Makoto was happy to return the gesture, arms rising to draw about the other’s shoulders. With Futaba’s head nestled against her neck and shoulder, it was all-too-easy for the brunette to gently pet those bright, long locks. The smaller girl reminded her of a large stuffed animal, or an affectionate puppy, and the temptation to simply squeeze her was very real. But, she’d prefer not to hurt the girl...

And so she simply held her, smile upon her lips. Her voice came soft and gentle as she recalled just how depressed and troubled Futaba used to be. Troubles that still haunted her from time to time... “There’s no need to ‘get even’, Futaba-chan. I want to support you however I can. You can always come to me when you need me; you don’t even have to call or text me first. I’ll make the time, I promise.”

"It's a bird! Can I feed it bread crumbs?"

{{ only in small amounts. I’m trying to watch my figure. }}

The bird started to preen himself, fluffing himself up and showing off the little backpack-like device on his back. There was an obvious speaker on it, probably how he was able to speak...

mask off. i used to participate in choir competitions back in middle && high school. my music teachers for both levels of education were highly passionate about them && did their best to shape our voices to stand against the other schools. && they were extremely fun! i can’t recall if my schools won any awards or anything since this was so far back, but i enjoyed them regardless.
