By Nyx Core, you can't summon a Persona.

In game, the option isn't available, and Great Seal is cast without one.

In the movies, Messiah dissolves when Makoto gets close.

In the Weird Masquerade, Shiomi attempts to summon their Persona, and fails.

Can we see your notes and other assorted things you made for a previous Chara Timeline page? I'm thinking of making an AU story myself, and seeing things like how much information you include and how it is structured would be a major help!

(Also whilst I'm here, gotta give a round of applause to you for making it so far in such an excellent comic.)

Yeah, sure! Below is an example of one of my pages from CT Part 22. I attached my thoughts and progress in the Page Description [ALT] for each one.

I'm NOT A Professional btw. I am still learning as I go. Even in the past few days, I feel like I've learned new skills to better my art <3. It's an ongoing process.

Evidence 1823847 Bucky makes Steve feminine coded: Grieving

a brief analysis of the portrayal of Steve's emotions in the context of grieving and how Bucky is (again) the person who adds gendered layers to Steve's character.

we can all agree that Steve represses his feelings more often than not. he has to. he was a poor, tiny, sick kid who got picked on or pitied all the time, neither of which was desirable, and over the years it just became who he is. it's not necessarily a bad thing, but emotional constipation is often associated with masculinity because emotions are considered a weakness, especially for a male (super)hero. they either tough it up or use unhealthy coping mechanisms to hide their trauma (anger, drinking, repression, suppression, denial, joke, etc.).

Steve is repressive as hell. he is, by nature, a very emotional person, sensitive and empathetic, but his childhood made him believe that he needed to be as tough and strong and independent as possible. to some extent, Bucky is the same, if not worse, but that's for another time.

Steve lost, well, almost everyone he's ever loved. but how often does he get to actually grieve them and be vulnerable?

chronologically:

after Sarah's funeral, Steve was sad but holding it together. he kept his head down all the time and didn't look at Bucky until Bucky said the wedding vow to him. Steve was obviously playing the tough guy persona. but Bucky cut right through his bullshit and let him know that it's ok to be vulnerable, you don't have to pretend when you are with me. and Steve, the definition of stubborn, actually took Bucky up on his offer. and Bucky made him smile, even just a little bit, on the day of his ma's funeral, with not a sassy joke, but a heartwarming, earnest, gay ass declaration of love and loyalty.

after Bucky died in catfa, Steve was so overwhelmed by the pain of the loss he was crying alone in a ruined bar. he allowed himself to grieve, to break. he thought he was safe because he was alone. After all, Captain America couldn't be caught crying while trying to drink himself to oblivion for the death of a compatriot. and he thought he was safe because Peggy was supposed to be the only person besides Bucky who saw him as who he was. but no. she said 'then don't deny him the dignity of that.' she said to tough it up. see it as an honor for Bucky, your grief is tantamount to decimating his courage and sacrifice. stop being swallowed by grief and get your ass moving.

him mourning the loss of his friends in the first Avengers movie was cut. he was canonly not allowed to be sad.

during the entire Steve sadness errands, he was sad but not explicit about it. god knows how many times has he visited the museum just to see a couple of familiar faces on a screen. did he have to hide in a bathroom stall the first few times he saw Bucky's smiling face, when he heard about the Howlies sharing ridiculous war stories? we can only assume, because how can you make a movie about the greatest superhero and have him have a mental breakdown 30 minutes into the movie? because how could Steve ever let himself be so openly broken without Bucky being there to piece him back together? 'what makes you happy?" Sam asked. 'I don't know.' Steve answered, with a smile.

Peggy's funeral was a crowded public event, he was on camera, he tried to hold his tears back because again, he had a reputation to uphold. Sam and Nat were there to quite literally hold his hands through this. however, Sam's presence was practically ignored and Nat's visit was shadowed by the ominous immediacy of the Accords.

endtrash didn't happen so we don't talk about it.

in a Watsonian reading, Steve consistently mask the true depth of his grief. partly because that's just who he is, partly because that's who people think he is (Captain America).

Bucky becomes the outlier case. Bucky allows Steve to be vulnerable, hell he pushes him to be cus he knows how hurt Steve truly is. and when it was Bucky who died, Steve couldn't hold his emotions back.

interestingly, it was Nat, a woman, who echoed Bucky's sentiment, you can be vulnerable with me, I'm here for you. even so, his response was not directly shown on screen, therefore more a demonstration of their relationship than Steve's emotional state. [a tangent: Cap trilogy Nat was much more of a real human than whatever joss wheden fantasizes about sexy deadly russian spy. she can be scared, uncertain, earnest, annoyingly gossip, and caring in Cap movies and still be the badass black widow as we know it.]

regardless, the point stands that Steve showing his grief is not easy, due to the environment and/or his own stubbornness. and it's ultimately a feminine trait (iterated by Nat's parallel) that best presents itself when Bucky is involved.

I rest my case.

now I don't want it to be an anti-peggy post because what prompted me to write this post was also partly because of the comics, where Thor basically told Steve the same thing as Peggy. but I only want to limit the scope to the MCU so. it's not my fault that stucky was in the narrative but steggy is not.
