Dorian is Pavus because peacocks are considered fancy, regal fowl. He is an aristocrat who still holds a lot of privilege despite wanting to change Tevinter for the better. Neve is Gallus because chickens are considered more plain and down-to-earth fowl than peacocks, while belonging to the same bird family. Their goals align but Neve is much closer to the common folk. In this essay I will

Gojo and Geto are sooo gay, their initials literally has G.S. which literally means Gay Sex.

As a Fandom we have spent a long time debating whether or not Crowley actually eats. We have completely forgotten that he literally admits it.

So either the food in heaven was so bad he never ate lunch again OR Aziraphale really is that slow and Crowley has already finished desert by the time Aziraphale has ordered a starter.

One thing I keep thinking about is that Reid joined the FBI below the minimum required age right? But he also failed a bunch of qualifications in the academy. So he was not only the wrong age but also not exactly qualified and it's safe to assume Gideon is the one who got him in despite all that since he is the one who convinced him to join the FBI. Reid certainly couldn't have forced his way in lmao

But why? What was the hurry when it seems he could have used those extra years of experience? It always felt to me like he was very much pressed for time to get this job Right Now, and the only reason I can think of it that maybe it was immensely difficult to pay for Diana's care in these years ever since he was 18, and perhaps Gideon was sympathetic to that while also seeing potential in him.

Personas' Unique Skills

All this talk of Maruki made me think of the special skills that individual Personas can have. These are clearly born from some strong aspect of the User. Something strong enough to define them as a person. So to determine what counts as a Unique Skill(tm) I consider the following:

No other Persona in their respective games is able to do it.

Almost never included among the skills you can use during normal combat.

Users can just use it whenever without needing to power-up or receive a boost.

It's related to the User's personality and/or journey.

Must have possessed it from the moment they awakened to their Persona. It was a package deal.

Users can or have been shown to use it passively in their daily lifes.

Off the top of my head, here are the Personas with Unique Skills, though feel free to add more if you remember any:

MOT

Belonging to Reiji, it possesses a fear aura. Unlike everyone else on this list, this actually made Reiji's life harder. Useful while trying to be an edgy teen, not so much as a salesman.

AKUMA

Belonging to Kenta, it can create desire in people. He used it to make himself a successful salesman. You gotta respect the hussle.

NIGHT QUEEN

Belonging to Tomomi, it's less of an original power it had and more what it mutated into. By separating itself from Tomomi due to the Demon Mirror, the Night Queen could (potentially) bring an "eternal night" into the world. Maybe her original skill as a Persona was a weaker version of this. Maybe darkness/shadow manipulation. Something to go with her name.

VULCAN AND APOLLO

Belonging to Tatsuya, they could slow down time and give him brief bursts of super strength. This made him ridiculously OP in Tatsuya's Scenario, soloing entire quests while the main plot was happening. Then again, he was running on NG+, so maybe it was a mix of both.

PERSEPHONE

Belonging to Musubu, it could brainwash people like a parasite, with the infected spreading the brainwashing to other people and growing stronger as the number of infected grew. Strong enough to create pocket dimensions.

PENTHESILEA AND ARTEMISIA

Belonging to Mitsuru, Penthesilea had some minor enemy-detection abilities. Just enough to know there's a threat. It also seems Mitsuru's ice skills go beyond what is normal for other Personas, manifesting in the physical world as well without the need to summon her Persona. That's a Unique Skill, alright.

LUCIA AND JUNO

Belonging to Fuuka, they have the Navi Package (get info on the enemies, sense the location of other beings, heal the party, etc). Navis might appear every game, but that doesn't make them any less unique.

MEDEA

Belonging to Chidori, it could fuck with Navis and, most importantly, heal. Chidori had one of the strongest healing powers, from people to plants to herself. Derived from this, she could also transfer some (or all) of her own life to heal someone else, even from the brink of death. Junpei would later inhereit a weaker version of this.

HIMIKO, KANZEON AND KOUZEON

Belonging to Rise, all her Personas have the Navi Package, though a bit more active than Fuuka's, mostly due to her experience and training as an idol (having to know what people want and how to please them without letting them step on you is an art).

NECRONOMICON, PROMETHEUS AND AL AZIF

Belonging to Futaba, they also have the Navi Pack, though way more active than Fuuka and Rise's, reflecting Futaba's deeper understanding of cogniton and her experience obtaining information.

LOKI

Belonging to Akechi, it could cause any being to go berserk, including himself. This power tells us that Akechi needs to get proper therapy.

AZATHOTH AND ADAM KADMON

Belonging to Maruki, they can alter a person's cognition of themselves and/or the world. The world-reaching powers he showed were the results of many shenanigans that had nothing to do with him, but it's still a pretty strong power, as shown with Rumi and Sumire.

Before anyone says anything, I count Third Eye as a gift by Yaldy rather than a natural skill. You can count it if you want, but for me its an extra thing. This also implies it's an AKIRA skill, not a PERSONA skill. Same with Minato's Great Seal. That's a MINATO skill, not a PERSONA skill (one born from having an embodiment of Death inside him for years). Both of them could still use those powers even if they didn't have access to their Personas, say, if they were reaped or something.

I truly believe every Persona has or is capable of having a Unique Skill, but either they aren't shown or the User doesn't know about it. Based on their Shadows, what unique skills would other characters have? For example, I would love to see Madarame's.

[sanjiaftersex]

sanji being a chef is a symbolism by Oda that he was about to COOK up the best character of all time

[friendlyneighbourhoodlizard]

today i have been blessed with divine knowledge from the gods

liiiiike hear me out

wdym the deepest connection you ever had was with your teenage "best friend" with whom you seemingly shared all your ideals and you understood eachother on such a profound level that left you scarred for the rest of your life? and he turned out to be an extremist who wanted to subdue the nonmagical portion of society for the supposed greater good? and you ended up having to fight him because you were the only person who could match his strength and stop him? AND THEN you never got over any of it and proceeded to live with the burden of being the strongest, shut off from everyone else because noone could ever understand you the way he did??

go on, tell me i‘m wrong, but deep down you‘ll know i‘m not

Episode 7 Rent ! spoilers!

So I don't know if somebody else already talked about this, but in the last episode of interview with the vampire, EP 7. I saw this post on Twitter and thought it's my time to be Sherlock Holmes and find out what really it could be.

What really is that, tho? Well, I really think Lestat is being starved by Armand or the cavern members, but I don't think the Cavern MEMBERS could EVER stop Lestat and starve him. I meann, c'mon, he's one of the most powerful vampires on the planet, has ancestry blood and u think u can stop him? The only person who could stop him, imo, and immobilize him and starve him, is Armand.

Did we forget he can make fire with his hands, freeze time, hypnotize and erase memory?

We can see it's a bruise, But dark, and shallow, almost rotting u could say... You can see it from another photo.

So, my point is that Armand is starving Lestat, Half to death but not quite. I mean, he could clearly stand and walk. U also can clearly see that he has this half-rotting bruise on each wrist. So, either way, he's half alive, maintained by Armand. And manipulated by him to perform the trial.

OR

It's just a shadow on his hand bc of the lights reflecting, and suit, or just a bruise Sam has on his hands. But I doubt he would get hurt like that.

ANDD in the next preview of the last episode, we see Armand say that he LIED to Louis and that he basically did this on his OWN.

---

He said he didn't have a choice, HE LIED.

He did have a choice!! He manipulated the cavern members and LESTAT, so therefore this was his OWN plan. He starved Lestat to death, almost rotting(I mean He is) SO that means maybe he revived Lestat. We know Lestat wasn't really dead, but Armand "revived" him possibly and used him for the trial, starving him and rotting him for his own use.

AND THIS IS NOT OVER!! This is from Episode 6, I believe. He was going through the trial pages!! If you think Armand didn't have a choice and didn't manipulate anyone, then what is this??? The master manipulator is at work, honey!! He was checking Sam’s work!!

I HAVE CONNECTED THE DOTSS!!!

What do u guys think???

THE WRITERS WILL PAYY FOR THISS!😭😭

[goatyuuji]

[grabby-smitten]

Okay, let’s be fucking for real here. Rafayel and Sylus are for the monster-fucker-girlies. Nada of that eldest daughter or acts of service or sappy stuff. No, no, no.

Monster fuckers, yes.

[choccy-zefirka]

I remember that once upon a time, I tried to justify Dorian's class being Necromancer (despite his main ability clearly being based on time magic) by headcanoning that Dorian and particularly his mentor Alexius once buddied up with some Nevarran mages to exchange knowledge. I even had an idea of Alexius (once redeemed, as an agent of the Inquisition etc. etc.) being dragged to the ball in WEWH to snoop for Venatori activity while posing as a Mortalitasi dignitary (perhaps even a relative of Cassandra's, much to her dismay), because he can fake being Neverran enough to pull the wool over the eyes of vapid Orlesian nobles.

What I am driving at is... I can expand the hc with Alexius and Emmrich knowing each other. Oldmanception.
