Ludinus Thoughts

Ludinus potentially being from the age of arcanum makes sense. We know that wizards from the Aviler were using the tithe to extend their life unnaturally. It wouldn't be a stretch to assume other floating cities had similar means.

Ludinus is much an interesting character with interesting motivations, I want to put in jar and shake him up and see what comes out. Ludinus bitterness and outright hatred for the Gods is understandable. To watch your home, friends, family, everything you've ever known and loved reduced to ash in the blink of an eye by powerful beings you have no power to stop is pretty disconcerting.

But I don't get how he came to the conclusion that the gods are somehow in the wrong. Don't get me wrong, Ludinus is correct in stating that the Gods need humanity, case in point Jester's genuine belief in Artagen gave him the power to be a small deity or how Sarenrae was significantly weakened after Asmodeus killed a majority of her followers.

But his assertion that the divine gate was created as a means to protect the Gods from their creations and not the other way round doesn't make sense.

Think about it from the Gods perspective. They come to Exandria and start creating mortal men; the Primordials aren't too happy about it but allow it as long as humanity stays in its line. However, expansion is a natural consequence of humanity. So now the Primordials and half of your 'siblings' are trying to kill your child, so what happens, war. But the Prime deities win and kill or seal them away, and now humanity can thrive again.

Humanity's acceleration is both fascinating and dangerous. Not only have they gained the ability to ascend to Gods status, but they are also simultaneously creating a weapon bent on your destruction. The same humanity that you sacrificed your siblings for, yeah no. The Gods knocking Aeor out of the sky can only be seen as an act of self-defense, and then those same humans release your 'siblings' who hate humanity because of the events of the Founding.

War happens again. But this time, it's devastating. 2/3 of your creations slaughter in a war started by them, but that was still fought for their protection. So what do you do? You re-seal the betrayers, but this time, you join them, not only to prevent another cataclysmic event, that should the Betrayers and Prime Deities come to blows again, humanity can be shielded from it impact.

If the gods were only behind the divine gate for their own fear of their creations. They wouldn't be in the wrong for that. Plus the God's powes are limited through the gate, so it could be reasoned that beyond the gate, they are significantly more powerful.

The fact that Ludinus is currently living in the post-apocalyptic version of a world he saw burn and still thinks that removing the Gods wouldn't end the world is beyond me.

too many of you guys think nico is the loser and not lewis for letting the divorce go on for so long. like they're both losers about each other. emotionally constipated idiots who can't talk about their toxic homoerotic friendship that imploded on itself like 8 years ago and are now making it everyone else's problem. yeah nico's on television or in beer gardens talking about lewis all the time but like every other month some reporter is like "lewis, what's your favorite moment in your career?" and lewis no hesitation is like "oh man, karting, y'know? everything was simpler then" and then spends another six months skirting around nico's name. like this whole thing they're doing in the media isn't some kinda extended foreplay for them. they're both still pressing on the bruise to make sure it's still there!!! every few months, they're literally just asking on public television, does it still hurt for you like it does for me? and like clockwork, someone will release new information about them or one of them will say something about each other (in my heart, he's still my best friend/yes... and teammate) and the answer will remain the same, yes, of course, always.

stan twins the canon cptsd brothers i will always think about all your unaddressed issues that would make perfect plot fuel for your spinoff

and also the whole 'stan getting that poem by bill via a website which contrasts with bill getting one from the axolotl via a website' foreshadowing thing

like idk i would love something like su future but like more optimistic, aka not an accumulated breakdown that has to be mostly resolved off screen at the end :/// but something thats being kinda addressed throughout? (although would love to see one of them turn into a monster thats always fun lol)

stan having severe issues from his dad and those years of being homeless that we keep on getting more info on but never really getting confronted on (the drifter catalogue and tijuana incident...), him being completely alone for like twenty years when running the shack before soos comes along to the point that 1998 is noted as his low point, and him not really learning about bill+what he did to ford until ages after he killed him if he ever did get the full context

while i think amnesia and everyone seeing him as a hero actually helped with stan's 'i'm a worse version of my brother' thing its still a lingering issue too and we now got him being insecure over his own hands

ford being immediately thrown from 'being tortured by bill' to 'being stuck in the multiverse and being chased by bounty hunters constantly', him fully expecting himself to die when destroying bill, and him only now being safe for the first time in 30 years ....relatively safe, he's still in constant danger because of course he is

idk in the end the series wants them to be happy and they deserve it, its why i wasn't too worried about the book being like 'ooh bill is back!! and the book is haunting ford' thing cos i knew they'll be ok

i love how this episode really took advantage of the fact that since its a tv show we're not limited to percy's pov. they did the whole grover thing with ares to further the plot and they're also exploring annabeth scenes without percy there or watching and building her character even more bc they can do that!! i ofc love percy's pov in the books but I rlly love how they're using the tv show format to hone in annabeth's character development

I'm curious about something... (and fucked up the last poll. if u saw no u didnt)

*As in, you enjoy listening to it, like it aesthetically, think of it as attractive, whatever. This is NOT about whether or not you understand the language or if you like whatever you associate with it or whether or not it's "useful" (e.g. If you do not speak a single word of japanese but really love how it sounds, vote for it. if you think italian sounds sexy but don't really care about visiting Italy, vote for it. If you like the look of the hebrew alphabet but not how it sounds, DONT vote for that. It's about the sound.)

Before you come at me: These categories are not perfect. Some of them are sub-categories of a bigger family (Indo-European), some languages are in the same category but sound really different etc etc. I had to leave out or group some of these together in a way that I felt made most sense for what I wanna know & the demographics of this site. I'm not a linguistics expert.

Maybe controversial, but on posts about being dumb where girls are like saying ‘but I’m actually smart.’ Like tbh, I don’t really believe them. Like if you’re smart why does feeling dumb feel so good or hot or whatever to you then? I kinda feel like it’s having an excuse to let go of trying as much as you would be when you’re saying your smart. If you’re like really actually smart, I don’t feel like a break from ‘being smart’ would be such a relief or like as appealing.

I will literally never get over the fact that Microphone went in front of Taco’s readied gun. She knew she wasn’t going to hurt her. She knew even though Taco was showing her bad side, she wasn’t going to put any harm on her (physically, that is). And she goes into her line of fire. it’s just so UUGGHH I hate them so much. Microphone wouldn’t just do that no matter who was holding the gun, she’s constantly showing she’s afraid of conflict and confrontation throughout the season, but she put her trust in Taco. I’ve seen people say Taco and Mic never formed any type of bond and I just do not get that. Throughout ep13 Mic tries to get Taco to talk about what happened in the lab because she’s Concerned about her. Taco gives Mic an apology (not the most sincere thing you’ll hear, but she tried) and Mic appreciates it. In the beginning of ep14 they’re literally laughing together as they talk. They had formed a bond over time and they both cared about each other. One sided tacomic is cool or whatever sure But I just don’t see it. They both relied on each other in their own ways. And to the people who think Taco didn’t care the entire time I don’t get that either. Sure in the very beginning when the partnership initiated, she went after Mic solely because she saw something in her that she thought could help her win the money, but over time she started to care more and more about her. There’s that whole thing about how she went against her word in ep14 to try to give Microphone what Taco thought she had wanted and then Mic leaves and Taco is Devastated. Why would taco be so genuinely distraught over the fact their partnership ended and Mic was leaving her. She’s sad because not only is she going to be lonely again, but she’s losing her friend. Her only friend left. The only person who gave her trust and support for years. She’s Sad. If she only cared about the money she wouldn’t be so sad, she’d be Angry, she’d be trying to get Mic to reconsider, she’d be getting other plans to get this money, in ep15 she says she doesn’t care about the money anymore. She lost the one person who cared and she realised this is about a lot more than just money

What are your ryomina headcanons? I've loved these two since I played P3 FES, and I'm so excited to get back into the fandom^^

hi!! thank you so much for the ask, welcome back to the p3 fandom, it's always a delight to see new and old ryomina fans alike! 🥺💛💙

as for headcanons, here's a "few" i that i tend to come back to a lot! my interpretations of them are influenced from both the source material and other's fanworks, so i've linked to them as i saw fit! hcs in no particular order under the cut because oops this got long (900 word bullet point list, mentions of reload content up to 1/1)

minato's hair is dyed blue (hair originally brown, you can see it in his roots!) and he has a beauty mark on under his left eye. i like mirror imagery and there's definitely a few arts i've rb'd that portray them this way :) (e.g. this one by feliichu and this one by marasschino)

as far as i'm concerned the bathhouse scene from the manga where ryoji's hair down = similar shape to minato? that is canon to me. this art from xierru is a fun depiction of hair down ryoji :D

ryoji is homeless. everyone say thank you foxmulder_whereartthou for this awesome fic it's why i have the headcanon! but like seriously. we have no idea where ryoji lives and i could believe this.

minato dying at the end of the game is sad to an outsider's POV BUT!!! ryomina gets to be together in death for the rest of their lives (this illustration from mafuwara is a gorgeous representation of them as nyx avatar + the seal)!

speaking of the seal, they are like telepathically communicating to me in the great seal together. (mymp3 had a comic wip with this. give it a looksie :D)

ryoji likes cuddling with minato because he's warm :) (something something orpheus has fire affinity, minato is warm by extension and ryoji is cold because he's death)

ryoji's camera roll is filled with pictures of minato! ryoji... loves life, to me. and i feel that photography and journaling are perfect ways of expressing gratitude and capturing the moments in life that are most important to you :3

my other favorite activity for these two is stargazing- i feel like it's something they could appreciate either in life or death (looking at the stars from the great seal...)! they do a bit of this in the fic eurydice's vow by crescentmoontea (P5R spoilers, takes place in third sem it's a very fun fic concept).

between ryoji and minato i feel like ryoji was the one who fell in love first- and it doesn't really click in place for minato that he loves ryoji until december hits (appriser reveal + ryoji transforming into thanatos). its about the realization that ryoji was with him for his whole life and that he gets him like no one else does.

ryoji is like a sad and wet puppy who is so scared minato won't like him back. he is so scared of being rejected by minato to me like. this boy straight up deflates after he does his "i know i said i wanted us to be friends, but... i actually want to be something more." / "what about you?" on 12/1 ???

AND SPEAKING of wet puppy ryoji. ryoji is like. every animal in the world to me. he's a bird. he's a cat. etc. and also ryoji knows every language in the world ever and uses it to express his love for minato. see this fic from superheroics to see what i mean.

both of them are lactose intolerant. "this isn't lactose, it's milk!" i definitely think ryoji would make himself sick eating ice cream and milk he doesn't know what lactose is. (i made a silly poll about this once and the tags were very entertaining.)

i see minato as transmasc or nonbinary depending on the day (schrodinger's headcanons babey they're simultaneously true and not true at the same time!!). either way he's not cis to me and ryoji is like. His Gender. anyway go read this fic by nail_gun for t4t ryomina :D !

ryomina are WEIRD GUYS TO ME!!! they are so strange and they understand each other better than anyone else because of the circumstances of their relationship!!! if you asked them to do the "i wonder what i taste like" meme i think they'd start biting each other (affectionate) tbh but that's just me.

after ryoji gives minato the music box in 12/31 on reload, minato listens to the music box every night in january. this boy has insomnia and also chronic illness to me (things that housing death does to you). but i think he finds comfort in the melody and memories he made with ryoji.

in general, i think it's fun to imagine minato taking ryoji to places and show him things he's interested in! i feel that ryoji takes a lot of interest in minato's life, this isn't really a hc because in reload, minato DOES give ryoji a tour of the school (11/9) and possibly port island (11/12). but ITS CUTE OK! (tangentially related fanwork: this series of doodles from vinnigami: 1, 2, and 3)

not a hc but minato's kindness is like the backbone of their relationship and i think we would not have the ryomina we know and love today if minato wasn't such a kind soul. oh minato.... we can learn so much from you... like ryoji did!

anyway! that's all the hcs that i could think of, thank you for the ask! i had a lot of fun answering this, these two mean a lot to me 💛💙

i hope you don't mind the links to the fanart and fanfic as well, the fanwork people have made for ryomina have really made an imprint on me! if you want to see more of them, i definitely recommend looking through my tag for them because oh. i got a lot of them reblogged alright 😂 (<- SOOO NORMAL)
