Hey hey. What would happen if Cap'n got Masked. Masked Were Eyeless Dog

THIS IS A VERY INTERESTING IDEA... I know for sure I'd want something strange to happen if Cap'n ever got masked.

At first, I was thinking that being an entity makes them immune, but I felt like that'd be a cop out. (I still think entities would be more lenient with Cap'n for the most part since she reeks of "fellow monster" vibes)

So after some discussion, I've come up with an alternate idea: the classic "I'm not stuck in here with you, you're stuck in here with me".

I imagine that the masked left her alone at first, but after a while, they hunted her down and, despite having that dog in her, they overpowered Cap'n (but they got fuuucked up in the process).

And now, unfortunately for them, her weredog brain makes any masked entities around her go bonkers, chasing down employees on all fours and masking them violently. (It'd also be quite unpleasant for the masked as the hivemind is used to swaying those in its influence to do ITS bidding, not the other way around)

However I think it'd be fun if it also inversely affected her weredog form. When Cap'n turns, the hivemind suppresses the noise that easily irritates it and makes it more of a hunting dog, bringing employees to other masked to have them be turned.

But yeah the tl;dr is Cap'n makes mimics act more like dogs, the mimics make the weredog act more like a mimic!

Anthro Koromaru... I miss him...

woowoo

[p5x-theories]

Honestly I'm thinking that the main villain might end up being being some Greek Titan (Possibly Chronos, due to the weirdness with time?) Given that every main boss up to this point has been Greek mythology related (Even Lila, which seems to be derived from Lilaeus) it only seems natural. The Nyarly (Cannot remember how to spell his name) references, if they can even be called that, could very well be coincidental, a red herring, or an intentional misdirect

I definitely see the connection you're drawing here (although it certainly casts some doubt on the Phantom Idols again, haha, given they almost exclusively have Greek figures as Persona IIs as well), but I'm not sure about Lila? Her full name is Kiskil-lilla, but sometimes just "Lila" is used, so I tend to err on the shorter side because... well... it's easier to remember how it's spelled, and that's the name on her files, heh. But Kiskil-lilla seems to be from Sumerian mythology, if the SMT Wiki is on the right track?

Even if Lila's an outlier, though, that doesn't necessarily disprove your theory, since Katayama was an unwilling Palace ruler and target in general. In other words, it could be thematically appropriate to name her after a figure that doesn't fit in with the other, more intentional Palace rulers?

But, yeah, like I said on the other post, I really have no idea whether "zhenhe" is intended to sort of vaguely resemble Nyarlathotep or not, and I'm not committing to any theory right now. Hopefully we see more of him in Chapter 4, and start to get a bit more information to work with.

As for Chronos, specifically, that would be a fun one! Given, like you said, the strange happenings related to time. It does make me wonder if they'd then connect it to PQ's Chronos at all, but, well, we've had Nyx as a final boss twice as well (P1 and P3), so there's precedent for them to do whatever they want, really.

My headcanon is that Miku is an Anti-Shadow Weapon that went rogue and became an Idol

Yeah sure why not

I think she has the power of the Universe

[pokeology]

Did your stats improve though?

I feel moderately worse if anything.

Alternate; Spider-Fiend 2099?

So. Might have gotten a little carried away. Also consider this a Spider-Fiend reveal because I'm like 99% sure I've never posted his design anywhere:

OG on the left, 2099 Variant on the right.

I actually think a 2099 variant would be super interesting - because I think he'd still have an organic suit that Mordred (demon buddy the name is definitely going to change) gave him.

All his villains and some allies too would probably have really high tech suits so when a villain goes to hack his suit he just starts laughing because he's immune to any of that. I think the themes of technology vs nature (if you want to call demon stuff nature) would be a really cool topic to explore :]

Few notes on the 2099 design:

Even though it's an organic suit, it has a neon light glow effect. This is so that he blends in better with the overall environment - as I imagine his city (I forget the name 💀) would have a lot of neon lights. And yes it is Tron inspired.

The webs he would shoot would be that same neon purple.

The logo didn't turn out too well admittedly (there are few things I want to fix but for a first pass I'm happy with this) but it's supposed to be the same as the one on the left just sleeker and has less detail.

The horns and tail don't actually glow.

I feel like he'd be a bit more serious in Universe 805 - 2099 (temporary name) and so his eyes would be less expressive than his original variant (similar to how Miguel is a little less expressive in the movie)

This actually applies to both variants but Fiend tends to go out at night a lot more hence the dark designs. I also in general prefer when spiderman designs are more on the simple side (think venom spiderman) so that's why both only have two colours (black and purple)!

Black and purple are his colours because a) black = blends in more at night and in general is more intimidating and b) purple = not a colour found a lot in nature so it fits his otherworldly demon powers. I also like purple.

I know a spiderman variant with a tail might be a bit weird but it adds to the silhouette and gives him more of a demonic vibe overall imo!

Hello friend! Would you mind donating money to this paper shredder? It's very hungry and I've been having trouble feeding it recently :-(

Oh yeah, dude, no problem, I trust you, I'm sure it's going to a good cause! :)

10 and 22 for the ask game?

10. worst part of fanon

oh god where do i start. i'm gonna go with the first thing that comes to mind and that's how shuake is considered such a common and "default" pairing these days many fans immediately assume everyone else they meet is gonna ship it or incorporate it into their works. i like it myself but oh lord the amount of general p5 works it covers is so. huge.

22. your favorite part of canon that everyone else ignores

cognition abuse aside from actualization can we please talk more about cognition abuse i want more acts of cognition abuse (<- is writing an oc that has much to do with cognition abuse) (shhhh you didn't read that)

[tag-that-oc]

Sometimes a family is the prince and princess of a kingdom that just had a bloody coup, their retainers who have a rivalry, a former royal guard, the royal guard's unreasonably jacked grandma, a dragon who can Shapeshift into a human, a thief who stole their hearts, the mage assassin who they adopted, and a villager who is uncomfortably comfortable with killing

did that villager do the coup

Pangolin Tim.. I love himb...

THANK YOU!! I've been affectionally calling him "PangoTim". ;v;)!! Weirdly enough, he's kinda been the favorite (including with me! IDK WHY! He's been my fave design so far!)

Anyways here's more of this ant-eating fool!

Haha, these are fun! I think people have brought up the PQ2 codenames before in suggestions for what codenames returning characters might be given, but this list feels even more thorough re: nicknames, and the ones that just come from their names (like our Phantom Idols in P5X canon) are a nice touch, too.

Though I have a feeling some of them might push back on some of these (ex. "Geezer" for Junpei, "Kenny" for Ken, "Hana" for Yosuke, haha)! That makes them all the more fun, though.

(Also, I love that you included Metis!!)

[yusuke-of-valla]

One of the reasons why Ken is one of my favorite P3 characters is because his character breaks are so jarring compared to everyone else. Like yeah, here's this kid! He's smart and studious, acts mature for his age, likes coffee and milk, idolizes Akihiko, etc.

Obviously you quickly learn that he's bad at keeping up the front of maturity. He ADORES Featherman, gets pouty when Makoto doesn't want to take him to the movie festival, he hates coffee, he's lactose intolerant and only drinks milk so he can get taller...

And then he starts getting secretive. Ah. He's driven entirely by revenge and is plotting murder-suicide. And when that doesn't work out. He allows himself to get killed. Only Shinjiro, the man who Ken was about to kill, sacrifices himself to save his would-be murderer.

Ken is an amazing character and I fucking love the little guy. He's like if Akechi got the help he needed.

I just REALLY wish that every conversation about him on the internet didn't eventually go into that part of P3P.

Yeah it sucks that it's overshadowed because iirc the rest of his social link is good beyond that!

Ken's a fascinating character and I love him so much you know
