How I imagine the SH writing room
Crew: and then Blitzø the gang to LA to track down Loona—
Vivzie: And stolas is there.
Crew: What?
Vivzie: And Stolas is there. For Stolitz.
Crew: But Viv we have a concept written of blitzø and Loona. Stolas just had the entire musical premier all about him, two songs about Blitzø, episode 4 is about him, and he has three more music numbers about Blitzø on the way. The fans will notice. We can’t just shoehorn in your favouri—
Vivzie: Stolas is there too or I’m pulling the plug.
Crew: (sigh) okay fine. Stolas tags along.
Vivzie: And it’s his daughter who ran away. Oh and then he treats everyone like dirt especially the imps, and abuses them viciously and angrily. Make sure to have a shot where he bursts into the office and terrifies the main four and they beg for mercy for upsetting his day. He strangles one imp to near death and Blitzø has a panic attack about having to contact him in the first place. Also Loona beats Blitzø to bloody bruises.
Crew: What?? Why?!
Vivzie: It pleases me.
Crew: Jesus Viv.
Vivzie: He’s not there. And I want two scenes of blitzø finding stolas really hot. Yknow, for the fans.
Crew: Yes we know…okay fine. Shove a blush and a smile in a random scene for Viv or something. Gonna feel a bit weird in the middle of abuse though. Anyways IMP tracks down the runaway. Who is Via now, not Loona. They have a touching scene where Blitzø apologises, and we were going to have Loona apologise here but I guess stolas can give his apology for—
Vivzie: Stolas does not apologise.
Crew: But you said he was being terrible?
Vivzie: Because that pleases me.
Crew: You said he strangled a guy.
Vivzie: Well because it’s funny. I like watching stolas hurt people. And the imp should have gotten out of the way. If Stolas apologises then we have to admit he did something wro—(gags) wrongg. And my fans might think they’re allowed to not like me-I mean him.
Crew: okay…and does Loona apologise?
Vivzie: No have her kick blitzø down and have him apologise for making her angry enough to beat him up. Then Loona tells that brat, Stolas is the best dad in hell but make it less blatant than that. Octavia apologises to her dad too. Make sure stolas and Blitzø are holding hands.
Crew: Okay…how did we even get here.
Vivzie: And I want the start of the episode to open with Stolas talking about space with cool meteor visuals.
Crew: More Stolas in Space? Fine…god i cant even remember what the original premise was… Um Viv? With this Blitzø battering and his several mental breakdowns, and now the retcon that the book deal was started by his flirting, and the anti blitzø party coming up. Did Blitzø piss in your house plants or something?
Vivzie: (scribbling stolitz smut) did you say something?
I feel like this is probably barely exaggerated from the reality.

Genuinely I love Julian's route in The Arcana so much. The potential of it, this inherent pull towards someone and you don't understand why -- he's admitted guilt to murder yet you can't help but feel this strange insistence that he's innocent. You don't know how, but your body, mind, & soul are screaming at you that this man that you have never met before is good, he's not what others say he is, he's not what he himself says he is; and then you learn that he doesn't even remember what happened, he just assumes he's the guilty party because he wouldn't be able to live with himself if he was. Why else would he forget unless it was an unbearable guilt he couldn't bear the weight of?
And, on top of it all, he has this same strange familiarity with you. How does he feel when he sees you in the shop and his heart stutters? When suddenly his aimless searching for something feels resolved, when he looks at you and everything feels right? He doesn't know you and yet his body remembers.
The mutual amnesia of people who used to be extremely close. He sees you for what he thinks is the first time ever, but his body is telling him no, we know them, we miss their touch. And you, the apprentice, slowly realizing you're feeling the same things? You immediately trust him because, before you forgot, he was your partner. Your mentor. Somebody you were so incredibly, incredibly close to, but you died and he blamed himself and everything crumpled and he made himself forget so it could never happen again and then --
There you are. And neither of you remember, but at the same time, some part of you does. The muscle memory never left. He touches you so casually, pats your arms and grabs your hand and leads you around the alleys as if it's second nature because it is. He dreams of your face and his torment and of losing you, and doesn't realize that it was real, and that his body itches to hold you because that part of him can't bear to lose you again.
I am obsessed with it. How many little tells are there, really, that the two of you share and hint at it being an old habit from times forgotten? How many little touches used to be daily routines? How many flutters of visions aren't just passing thoughts and wishes, but memories?
You think of how hard it would be to kiss Julian with a plague mask on, and his response is "Imagine trying with two of them," because he wanted to kiss you when you were his apprentice, when you were both desperate and tired and aching and tortured by the plague with only each other's company as a comfort. Maybe that's why you had the thought of kissing him in the first place, too -- but neither of you know why the subject was brought up, neither remember, yet some parts of you do.
Ugh. I love it. And when Julian finally does regain his memories? And he realizes you're real and you're here and you've been here, and he has been able to touch you and hold you this whole time, but now he can truly appreciate it, but he's also horrified with the weight of losing you all over again. Oh my God. It's so good. The potential underlying thoughts and emotions are so good.

oki persona ramble time: AS OF SEEING OKIMURA SR. FOR THE FIRST TIME IN THE GAME, I am honestly impressed with how this arc in particular developed Morgana's own development and inner conflict. like him feeling discouraged over being constantly undermined by the team as "just a dumb cat" has been building up for a while now even from his introduction and now that at this point of the story where there are more people in the Phantom Thief team + more time is spent away from Morgana + there are more instances of Morgana being ignored or dismissed (esp from Ryuji), it is nice to see a subtle running joke from the team in regards to Morgana actually manifest into an actual conflict. Same goes for Ryuji what with his rivalry with/constant annoyance at Morgana + the fame of the Phantom Thieves going to his head, causing him to really be consistent in his aggressively reckless pattern so far. Both character arcs are very much at the forefront in the Okimura chapter.
HOWEVER, I will say that Morgana's realization arc aka "Am I sure I'm a human? What if I'm the bad guy?" should've come sooner - and the same goes for the "Ooohh There Was A Mysterious Dude In The Metaverse Before You Guys" pattern. Both should've been a bit more hinted at because I've noticed that at this point of the story, those two plotlines have been received as stale due to constant allusions to the subjects but none of the actual development before the Okimura chapter. Morgana's character in particular suffers the most out of the staggered pacing because I've noticed that for some people, how he deals with his inner conflict became hard to sympathise with due to (1) the arc being rather sudden (an example being Morgana starting his "Am I The Bad Guy arc" through a dream of all things) and (2) because Morgana's character hasn't been well developed or explored further prior to the Okimura chapter - hence people adopting a similar mindset to Ryuji in terms of treating Morgana as a "dumb cat". Though it is possible that that take could've been done on purpose as to make Ryuji's demeanor more relatable, Morgana's entire arc and development suffers from it - which is rather sad because he could've been really compelling as a character for me personally if the pacing of the exploration of his character weren't as staggered.
