#demon fam haru

[yusuke-of-valla]

I feel like early on in Demon Fam Morgana's training Goro, Haru, and Yusuke and they get attacked so they need to get out of there quickly so Morgana turns into a bus and is like "ok now one of you needs to drive" "None of us know how to do that."

"Don't cry. Don't despair. Those things will never do you no good... fill your heart with anger. Strong, pure anger that gives no quarter. Anger that becomes the unwavering force that drives your limbs." (Giyu Tomioka Demon Slayer)

When people ask me who my favorite shows are within the last year that I have watched within the last year, this would be the number one that I would without a shadow of a doubt, recommend. Demon Slayer is such an amazing show that changed my life forever. Throughout watching the show, there were so many amazing characters and one of the most popular being my personal favorite Hashira Giyu Tomioka. This week's appreciation edit goes out to one of my favorite people in the entire world @groundcontrol-to-majortom or as I know them B.

B is one of the kindest people that I have ever met in my entire life. Growing up I was often alone and it was sometimes tiring. But through my online life I was able to meet so many amazing people. One of them being B, the frontrunner of my Sk8 fam. She is somebody that opened her heart open to me from the first time that we talked together. Through meeting her I found somebody that I could relate to her.

One of the first times that I opened up about my original characters. B was one of the first that took an interest in my OCs Sakura and Haru. She was of the first people that listened to me about one of the biggest passions that I had. Not very many people listen to me when I ramble about my characters. But, B is one of the few people that actually listened to me. She encouraged my interests, reblogged my fics with Sakura and Miya, and continued to talk to me.

For me, I didn't really know what it was like to be a member of a found family. That was until I met my Sk8 Fam. Other than my Pooh crew these people are some of the most important people in my life. B runs her group with a loving hand. If anybody so much as says one thing bad about themselves instantly she shuts that down. Most of the time I struggle with my self love. But B is always there to listen to me whenever I need her to be.

To know B is to love B in my personal opinion. She's somebody with an open heart and cares about the people in her life. She's openly kind as well as somebody that I can trust about anything that I'm struggling with in my life. Through B I feel like I'm finally getting better with my self love and how I can get through just about anything. She's one of the sweetest people that I've ever come into contact with. I have grown to finally appreciate myself as the person that I am through the lessons that she has been helping me with.

[bootycallofcthulhu]

Finally giving my opinions on Persona 5

Here’s a read more because this is honestly just me gushing about the history i have with the series

Prior to the summer of 2013, the best game I had ever played was not Pokemon Emerald (which if you know me irl, I fucking love Pokemon Emerald). By 2013, I had played a lot of really great games: Jak 2 &3, Sly Cooper 2 & 3, Red Dead Redemption, Halo 3, Kirby, Wind Waker, Ape Escape, Fire Emblem....a lot of really good games. But the game that stood out, the game that I played over and over at least once a year was Radiata Stories. This game stood out because 1.) I love character driven games and 2.) Radiata is one of the greatest (granted under-appreciated and quite frankly under the radar) JRPGs of all time. 

Anyways, back to summer of 2013. Just completed my first year of college and was about to spend the summer alone....I forget what the hell I was doing but end of the first week I had set up a blanket fort in my living room and only had the company of a neighbor who didn’t like me much but kept coming over anyways. So I did the natural thing you do when you’re alone and depressed off your balls and went to gamestop and asked the employee for the best and longest JRPG they had. She recommended Eternal Sonata (a game I ended up not finishing) and Persona 4 for the PS2. 

Long story short, I fell in love, and cried my eyes out when I said my goodbyes to a virtual cast of characters. I played it every summer, bought a Vita shortly after the ps2 version just to play golden, and eagerly awaited for 5 to be released. Hell, I found the original trailer before I even played golden. I have a huge emotional attachment to this franchise, which before my biggest emotional attachments to video games were Radiata and Pokemon (the game of my childhood). The reason is I had found this game when I needed the storytelling and themes the most (because I was depressed and alone and drowing my problems in alcohol). The cast of great friends combined with the immersion of putting yourself in the avatar’s shoes made it feel like I wasn’t so alone and got me through every summer I spent alone working until someone came to visit (or until I adopted my cat, Harley).

Between then and now, I got my hands on a few more great games: Dark Souls, Persona 3, Bloodborne (which holy shit this game is also fandiddlytastic), FFXV, more Pokemon and Fire Emblem etc. All great games. 

8 years later, Persona 5 came out and was the first game I had been waiting for and said “wow, the wait was worth it.”

And to be perfectly honest, its the best damn game I’ve ever played. I played it for 2 weeks straight, got the platinum my second playthrough, and I’m halfway through my third playthrough with nearly 200 hours logged. 

Y’all. This game is great.

To get into the specifics, I’m just gonna start off by leaving the soundtrack as holy shit, all bias aside this is the best video game soundtrack, going on par with the likes of Final Fantasy and Zelda (although in terms of OST of the year, I would say Nier is gonna be going toe-to-toe with this one). 

Next up is the art direction. Everyone is talking about how this game eats, breathes, and sleeps style. They aren’t wrong. The art direction for this game is insane, the screen is always in motion. If you cycle through the menu screen, there’s animations for every selection. Even in the shops. The victory screen is running around and watching the flashy animations for your battle results. Its insane and despite running on a ps3 engine, the game feels beyond that.

As far as gameplay, the game is basically Pokemon, but with extra turns for hitting weaknesses. Also the way you catch the Personas in this game gets an added feature if you’ve only played 3 and 4, which is demon negotiation. You hold them up outlaw style, and mug them for money, items, or use their personality traits to answer their qeustions and get you to join them (provided you’re at the appropriate level). Everything else is a giant life sim/visual novel and the game nails it with its cast of great characters.

The characters in this game exceed anything done in the other games. Every one of them, from party members, to the side characters (which in past games were pretty lackluster imo), has an interesting story to tell that keeps you engaged as they try to tackle their problems with your help. And buidling up these relationships adds more than just extra exp when fusing personas; they add combat elements, help with negotiations, the option to switch characters out mid battle, discounts, the option TO FUCKING DO SOMETHING AFTER YOU EXPLORE A DUNGEON BESIDES SLEEP TAKE THAT MORGANA. Its good shit.

The game comes together, and since its an Atlus game in the SMT realm, the story is gripping...for the most part. 

Keep in mind, this is my favorite game of all time, but it does have its problems.

First and foremost, we have the cast and relationships.

While the cast is the best to date, there is one problem I have with them: the game’s writing doesn’t give the main cast enough events to make them feel like good friends over time. This isn’t to say they aren’t friendly with each other, because they are and do genuinely want to forge stronger friendships outside of Phantom Thieving, but the game doesn’t have as many side events due to its shorter calendar coming from P4G. However, even coming from P4 vanilla, there’s just not as many in-game events of them hanging out as there were, and so as an ensemble, they don’t seem as close together as the game tries to play them off. This is just a nitpick though.

Second gripe I have with the cast, and this one is bigger and hopefully something that gets updated in the rumored (and lets face it this is probably gonna happen) Ultimate Edition which I will buy in a heartbeat because I’m fucking trash, but I’m a little let down that on a game this big there’s no option for a female Joker, and that you can’t be gay/bi. And this is even a bigger disappointment given that there’s plenty of set ups within the confidants’ dialogue to do so.

Granted, no matter what I would still date Makoto or Haru, but the lack of male romance options is a let down because at the end of the day, Joker is an avatar character and should represent the player as such. This part of the game actually disappoints me over my 3 major complaints. Its obviously not a deal breaker but it is a disappointment nonetheless.

The last disappointment I have is actually something of a spoiler if you’ve played the past two games so I’m gonna hit some spaces and mark where the spoiler starts and ends. 

*************SPOILER STARTS HERE*********************

The game’s ending. The game has a very strong start, and keeps up the pace for about 90% of the game, but falls off in the last dungeons. The storytelling here starts to fall short mostly do to cliches. I won’t get into specifics but I will say the final boss is very much a recycled theme from the past 2 games, and the boss before that just doesn’t seem to fit minus the exposition about him you’re given from the start. In fact, the ending to his arc just feels anti-climatic, and while there’s a story-based reason for that, the link between the two happens a little too fast and could’ve been fleshed out more, which I feel the fix could’ve been just making the game longer. I feel like Atlus was worried the game was too long but when you go into these games, you’re going in because you want the longer experience and I personally feel you should try to tell the story to its fullest rather than speeding things up. The speedup especially feels awkward because its at the game’s climax. 

But this is also a nitpick.

**************SPOILER ENDS HERE FAM****************

anyways, those are my thoughts on the game. 

I love this game. This isn’t anywhere near a review but mostly just a rant and i’m sorry if you read the entire thing because I needed to give my irl friends a break and shut the fuck up about it but I wanted to get my full thoughts out somewhere. So yeah. 

12/10 gonna play again tbh

[yusuke-of-valla]

Goro: We need to distract the guard. Throw something in the trash can to make a noise so he’ll look the other way. 

Ren: *picks up a chair*

Yusuke: Ren! Not the chair! Something small!

Ren: *Picks up Haru*

Haru: Really?

[yusuke-of-valla]

Ren proudly showing off his human siblings to his demon friends. “What’s up my dudes? I’m a Big Bro now! These are my new siblings. If anything were to happen to them things would get very messy, very quickly.”

Basically

I’m sorry this is so bad

[yusuke-of-valla]

[Conversation that happened in the Demon Fam AU before they went to earth probably]

Goro: ,,,

Haru: I can hear you having bad thoughts about yourself.

Goro: Ok first of all, stop reading my mind. Second, they’re not bad thoughts their objective facts about I’m the only regular human here, and third, you’re kind of proving my point.

Haru: First of all, sorry it’s hard to turn it off, second no one cares if you’re a regular human. We’re all here for one reason. Our dads suck. And your dad still sucks regardless of whether you can read minds or create illusions, so we’re all going to kill them together.

Yusuke: Agreed. I wouldn’t want to exact vengeance upon Madarame without you, 

Haru: We’re family, and that means we fight our enemies together.

Goro: Fine, fine, jeez are we going to do this every time I feel minorly inadequate.

Haru: Yes, of course

Yusuke: Because you’d do the same for us.

Goro: Thanks guys.

[yusuke-of-valla]

Demon Fam Fic: Yusuke’s birthday.

[A/n] this was @askmarietheapprentice‘s suggestion! I meant to get it out earlier but it ended up kinda getting away from me. Anyway enjoy some babies in Hell

“Happy birthday Yusuke!”

After 3 months in Hell, they’ve all gotten used to Ren’s sudden entrances, but usually he’s kind enough to appear when it isn’t the middle of the night.

“What time is it?” Haru asks, shielding her eyes from the blue flames that Ren brought to light up their shared bedroom.

“4:28 and 32 seconds, Pacific Time! The exact moment Yusuke was born.” Ren says.

“How do you know that?” Yusuke asks.

“Father owns your souls.”

“Wait, so it’s actually your birthday?” Goro asks. 

“Well, yes.” Yusuke says.

“And you didn’t tell us?” Haru gasps. “We would’ve put something together like you guys did for me!”

“I don’t really want anything.” Yusuke says. “I was just going to make my favorite dinner and some cake.”

“Well, we could’ve done that for you, at least.”

“I like making my own dinner and cake.”

“So we know what we’re doing for dinner.” Ren says, picking up Yusuke. “But there’s another 12  to 14 hours before that, and until then I’ve got the perfect plan for a birthday trip.”

“Can we sleep in a little longer?” Yusuke groans. 

“Nope! It’s very time sensitive! You’re lucky, waking up at the exact moment you were born means you have enough time for breakfast!”

~

After a hearty breakfast of birthday pancakes and tea, they’ve all gathered on Kidd’s ship. There’s a thick fog in the area, that cills to the bone.

“We’re here!” Ren announces as the fog parts, and a giant glacier comes into view.

“Drop anchor!” Kidd orders, and the ship comes to a stop. “Alright, so what’s the plan.”

“We’re going to the top for a bit, and then back down.” 

“You goin’ like that?” 

Ren tilts his head. “Like wha- oh right.” 

With a poof, Ren turns into a cat and lands in Yusuke’s arms. “Now we’re good.”

“Why do you have to be a cat?” Haru asks.

“Oh, Goemon’s definitely going to attack us if he finds out I’m here,” Ren explains, “and I kind of suck at fighting in places where it’s cold.” 

“For my birthday you took us somewhere we're going to get attacked?” Yusuke asks.

“What’s the first thing I taught you?” 

Yusuke sighs. “Everything is going to attack you.”

“Right! And that’s why you brought your weapons. And besides, his grudge is with me, even if he did notice something as tiny as you three, he’s not the type to get revenge by proxy.”

“See you soon, Captain!” Haru waves as they get on one of the smaller ships to get to shore.

“Have fun! Don't die!"

On the shore of the glacier, there’s a raging snow storm.

“K-kind of wish we’d gotten goggles.” Goro says, shivering.

“We’ll add t-that to the shopping list.” Haru agrees.

“F-follow me g-guys.” Ren’s black body stands out in stark contrast to the snow. They all hold hands, and follow Ren until they come across a door.

“S-someone with hands, open it.” Ren says.

“I got it.” Yusuke yanks on the door as hard as he can, and it slowly opens enough for everyone to squeeze through.

“Alright. So now we just have to climb up all these stairs and get to the top, preferably without Goemon seeing us!” Ren says.

Yusuke, Goro, and Haru stare at the giant, winding staircase and then at each other.

“Why do demons have to be so damn big?” Goro mutters as he lifts himself onto the first step and Haru and Yusuke follow suit.

As they climb, Yusuke keeps stopping to admire the art pieces on the wall. There’s watercolors, acrylics, and careful sketches lining the walls.  “Hey, Ren, did Goemon make these?” 

“Yeah, I mean, this is his workshop.”

“Amazing!” Yusuke gasps. “The way he blends colors together to portray the different emotions, it’s beautiful. I hope to be this good some day, thank you for bringing us here.”

“Well, this isn’t exactly what I wanted to show you.” Ren says, “but I’m glad you’re enjoying it.”

They come to a larger platform, where intricately crafted ice sculptures are on display. 

“Woah. I didn’t even think you could get ice to do this,” Goro says examining a sculpture of a woman who looked as though she was wearing actual fabric.

Yusuke wanders over to a group of statues contorted into various abstract shapes. While on their own, the intricate patterns were impressive, taken together...

“These are about the war with Yalbadoath!” Yusuke realizes.

“How can you tell?” Ren asks. 

“Ok, so start here. This one is rigid, uniform all the way to the top, and then this one, it’s rigid in a similar way but there’s a tiny flaw right there. And in this piece the flaws are bigger. Then this one, any sort of structure is gone, and it’s sharp and chaotic. Then in the final one there are two clear sections, one that has that ordered pattern from the first, but only on the top half while the bottom half is still chaos." Yusuke explains. "They represent the world under Yalbadoath's rule, Satanael's rebellion, and the wars in Hell afterwards!"

"Oh, that's so cool." Goro says.

"Not bad, small one." A voice says. A large demon holding a pipe rises from the ground behind them. "Although I would encourage you to consider how the artist feels about the event, and what they might be trying to say about similar circumstances through his piece."

Yusuke nods. "Ummm… the artist feels…" Yusuke stares at the sculptures, trying to decipher their secrets.

"You seem rather young, how old are you?" The demon asks.

"Seven." Yusuke says.

"Seven…" Goemon laughs. "Oh, I've forgotten how short lived you humans are. Do not be upset if you can't figure it out, you've barely lived a decade!"

“Excuse me, are you Goemon?" Haru asks.

"I am. And I take it you three are Satanael's human children?"

"That depends." Goro says. "What would you do if we were?"

Goemon laughs again. "Such bold children! I have no problems with humans, or Satanael. Were Arsene here, I would freeze him in the heart of this glacier for stealing from me, but I have no quarrel with you three."

"Oh thank goodness." Haru sighs in relief. "I'm Haru, this is Goro, and Yusuke." Haru's eyes fall on Ren on Goro's shoulder. "...and our completely normal cat… Akira! Akira the cat from the human world and who is just a cat."

"Meow." Ren says.

"It's nice to meet you. Now, what brings you 

 here? Usually Zorro would come if your father had a message."

"Well, it's my birthday so we're here to see something at the top of the glacier." Yusuke explains.

Goemon lifts his gigantic pipe to his mouth and colored puffs of smoke float out. "How often do you humans celebrate your birth?"

"Every year." Yusuke says.

"Ah! We demons do celebrate our birth, but only once every century or so. A year is barely a blink of an eye to someone who lives for eternity. To be so short lived you celebrate every year. Fascinating." Goemon nods to himself. "Yes, I do believe you three have given me an idea for an art piece."

"You're welcome." Goro says. "Do you think you could give us a ride to the top? We're told it's time sensitive."

"But of course!" Goemon taps the ground with his pipe, and suddenly everything rushes past them and they're at the top of the glacier.

The air is still here, unlike the lower parts, and looking down, Yusuke can see the snowstorm raging below.

From the top of the glacier, the ocean spreads out for miles, and he can also make out Captain Kidd's ship.

"I do believe it's time. Look up children."

The sky's dark one second, and then suddenly it's awash with colors. Blues flow into greens flow into purples flow into pinks, all dancing across the sky.

"It's beautiful." Yusuke says in awe.

"I've never seen anything like this." Goro says.

Haru nods. "I think I might cry."

"The lights only appear here every 500 years or so." Goemon says. "You are quite lucky, children and cat."

Yusuke makes a frame with his fingers and looks around, finally settling on Haru, Ren, and Goro back lit by the lights.

"Yusuke, what are you doing?" Haru asks.

"I want to capture this moment in a painting." Yusuke smiles. "My first birthday with my new family."

"Awww." Haru starts to walk over to him

"Don't move!" Yusuke snaps before pulling out his sketchbook. "This should only take a few minutes."

Once he's finished with the sketch, Goemon takes them all down to the bottom of the glacier.

"Thank you so much!" Yusuke says.

"Thank you for providing me with inspiration. In fact, here's a gift. From one artist to another." Goemon snaps his fingers and two lobsters appear in Yusuke's hands.

"They're beautiful, thank you." Yusuke says.

"I hope you'll let me see your piece when it is finished."

Yusuke nods. "I will."

"Goodbye children and cat! Enjoy your tragically short lifespans!" Goemon says as they make their way to where the boat was. "And feel free to return any time without Arsene."

"Thank you so much!" Yusuke waves back. 

"So, did I plan a great birthday trip or what?" Ren asks, once their a ways from shore.

"I loved it." Yusuke says. "Goemon's nice too. What did you do to make him hate you?"

Ren rolls his eyes. "He's still mad I stole from him."

"Why'd you steal from him?"

"Like I said, I'm bad in the cold, so I like to practice my thievery in places where it's cold. And he's still mad about it like, 500 years later!"

"I'm kinda on Goemon's side here." Goro says. 

"What?"

"I mean you did steal from him."

"It's not like I took anything important!"

"You'd hate it too if someone stole from you."

"No one's good enough to steal from me."

"You're missing the point!"

Haru sighs and turns to Yusuke. "So what were you thinking about for that cake?"

Dumb idea: the demon is Satanael and he’s adopting them and bring them into the Phantom Thief fold and they’ll take down their bad fathers. With Joker, Mona, Skull, Panther, Queen and Oracle befriending and training them. Joker is Satanael’s son the leader of the Phantom Thieves and a good friend. (He’s exited to be a brother.)

Satanael: Wow, your dads gave you up way faster than I was expecting. Uh, sorry kids, you want to grow up and kick their asses?

Goro: Yeah!

Ren: I’M A BIG BROTHER :D

I also love the mental image of the rest of the PT as a bunch of demons teaching the three of them to fight and do magic and stuff, but when they all go to the human world, they have to figure out how to act human and it’s Goro, Haru, and Yusuke who have to show them the ropes

Haru with Telekinesis is just fun. Also, quite practical. Haru picking a lock with her mind and letting someone that was captured out all while distracting them with conversation. I love that idea.

Telekinesis is just fun in general, you can do so many cool things with it. Carry things, limited flight, gives you more options for controlling the battlefield. I’m just a sucker for characters with telekinesis

For your consideration for Demon Fam AU, Ann and Futaba spot Shiho and Hikari respectively and are freaking out cause they don't know how to court the cute humans and they try asking Yusuke, Haru, and Goro cause they're humans, they should know. Except they were sold to Sataneal pretty young and even if they weren't, they're not really the best people to go to for love advice.

I’d say 6-7 is probably a good age for the three of them to have gotten like, the gist of the human world to be slightly better than the demons but still not know stuff like this.

Yusuke, who’s oblivious: Take her to the art gallery!

Goro, who has seen all the Disney movies up until 2007: You need a grand gesture, like a musical number

Haru, who spent one year at an all-girls catholic elementary school before being sold to satan: I’m pretty sure if you try to hold hands outside of marriage you blow up or something.

Ryuji wants to call himself William on earth but that’s too white of a name and he’s trying to pretend to be Japanese.

Arsene: Look, Kidd, Carmen already called being the white one. We don’t want to look suspicious.

Haru: Plus, it’s not exactly common knowledge but it is known that your full name is Captain William Kidd, and it’s going to be suspicious if a guy named “William” shows up around the same time as Captain Kidd. 

Kidd: .... fine. 

[yusuke-of-valla]

Some teacher: Satanael was ruthlesss, cold-hearted, and threatening, devouring human souls without mercy and holding nothing but contempt for humanity

Ren, Haru, Yusuke, and Goro, who've seen their dad sit still for hours so Yusuke could paint flowers in his face: you sure about that?

[yusuke-of-valla]

Makoto: So remember, as much as we want to kick your dads' asses, Lord Satanael explicitly said to wait.

Haru: Of course

Goro: Understood.

Yusuke: No need to worry

Haru: *learns her dad has effectively replaced her with Sugimura*

Goro: *learns his dad used his death to garner sympathy and gain a political foothold and to manipulate Yu's trauma so Yu would be unquestionably loyal*

Yusuke: *learns Madarame didn't even bother to report him dead and since he had no friends or family has effectively made it as if Yusuke never existed in the first place*

All 3: I... can... TOTALLY.... wait a fee months to kill him.
