TL:DR, No one misinterprets Haru Okumura like I do.

Long enough, will read:

So as I'm pretty vocal about, I wrote an Okumura rewrite story, not my usual cup of tea as outside of very select things, I love p5 and think it told it's story the way atlus wanted to and in an entertaining way.

I find the lack of a certain troupe in Hawaii to be a little sad, Third sem had potential but lost me because I'm a horrible person, but Okumura's palace is the one part where I can firmly say, I hate the writing.

Third act conflict that goes nowhere (and doesn't get resolved for real), victim blaming as far as the pts go with Ryuji, over blowing what Morgana and Ryuji did to epic proportions, Ryuji's Character being noticeably lazier, meaner, and just more... shallow? All of it annoys me, but the words offender is still Haru Okumura.

Outside of Strikers and Dancing, we knew nothing of this girl.

Her confidant is more about her business than her, she's barely a focus, her extra dates provide little info, even her jazz jin convos are very surface level.

As to how this relates to my rewrite, because I wanted to give Haru a spotlight since I wanted to get to know her better, I watched her dancing SL, played her SL and romance in Royal, and replayed the mariko arc in Strikers as well as consuming as much of the Okumura arc itself as I could.

However in the interest of keeping the story fresh, fun, interesting, I accidentally created a Haru almost indistinguishable from canon, but that basically no one else gets.

I love Haru, there's so much about her that's interesting and cool, I wanna talk about her more, she's always bouncing around in my head, just not as much as a certain someone.

...deltarune-esque persona 5 au? especially with the Stuff with maruki?

ahhh i have mulled over how to answer this so much but i am just going to try. insert [orv-style monologue about about how even though no meaning will ever be translated completely from one person to another we still have to try] here

so i have not played deltarune yet, but to the best of my knowledge, kris, the protagonist, is a separate entity from the player. in additional, they are also aware they are being controlled.

i thought this would be an interesting thing to touch on in p5r, especially with the focus on control and power in the story. from corrupt teachers and government officials, to gods, to school counselors, there is a focus on choice/action being taken away and the characters rebelling against it.

i think it would be really interesting for akira to be somewhat aware there is something going on behind the scenes. especially with him thinking that shido is behind it, and then thinking its actually yaldaboath. think periodically having an "im being watched...." thought bubble pop up or a "something's wrong" as you play the game, and thinking its igor, or shido's goons. and he isnt wrong, but that feeling not going even when yaldaboth is defeated. and then maruki changed everything, so it must be his fault, right....?

and then another "i'm being watched" pop up, but. akira turns to face the screen:

from here, dialogue options not popping up, like he's refusing to speak. the name you chose glitching, like he's trying to remember who he was before he transferred...

in the end, i think it would be interesting to end the game on having to let go of playing akira; a prompting for the player to take hold of their own life. you helped akira and the phantom thieves, and they're grateful, but it's time for everyone to go their separate ways.

It honestly feels like my brain placed all my current interests in a single tightrope and is preparing to throw a ball at any of em once that very specific thing bout it hits my brain which would result in a new hyperfixation but there's nothing yet so I'm just here... no thoughts head empty.

The original scrapped version of a piece I did in August, I went back to challenge myself on this colour scheme that ended up changing in the final version. I'm quite proud of how it's ended up!

[anomalouscutie]

its literally all good my older sibling also didnt ship akeshu until later on and they introduced me to p5. they also didnt like akechi at first. thankfully by the time i played the game they liked akechi and akeshu bc i was insane about both from the beginning lol. what can i say i like rivals. also i was playing p5r so there was More of them

glad i wasnt alone in this 😭

[martritzvonmercie]

HERE IS MY UP-TO-DATE P5R CHARACTER RANKING bc i think it will be funny if i post this now and then come back when i am later in the game and see that my opinions were severely bad and wrong. also i am doing phantom thieves only (but know shiho would be second if she were in the ranking)

(DISCLAIMER: you cannot get mad at me for my opinion on people who have not showed up yet okay. i have been avoiding spoilers and i know nothing about them so i just know what has happened IN THE GAME SO FAR. also very long post i went off about some people sorry about that)

1. ANN TAKAMAKI - MY GIRL OF ALL TIME. what can i say, i love myself a silly blonde girl. i think my favorite thing about ann is how she’s portrayed as both strong and emotional - she is consistently shown to be resilient, capable, and tough, but she also deals with her emotions in the same way that a teenage girl in her position would. it makes me happy to see that bc not a lot of characters get that right and i hate seeing emotional girls always being the pathetic ones. also i know she’s not canonically sapphic but she does feel very deliberately sapphic to me if that makes sense. having it be canon would be nice, but in a way, the fact that her and shiho have a very sapphic relationship without it being called that reflects what being young and confused about sexuality is like. it’s very common among teenage lesbians, and i know it probably wasn’t the devs’ intention to accurately portray sexuality confusion, but they did a good job of it on accident regardless. anyways i love and adore ann i am hugging her hugging her hugging her and pressing her lips to shiho's as if they're barbies

2. haru okumura - OKAY LOOK. LOOK. i know she hasn't shown up... i know she hasn't said anything besides that one time i saw her in the hallway and she talked about plants to a random teacher for 10 seconds... I KNOW BUT BUT SHE'S SO SKRUNKLY LOOK AT HER. she is so soft looking so silly looking i want to hug her so much. i am reserving this second place spot for her, if it turns out i don't like her as much as i thought then that's fine but nobody knows Girl Of All Time Vibes better than me and she has them

3. yusuke kitagawa - YUSUKE MY BEST FRIEND YUSUKE. I LOVE AND ADORE HIM SOSOSOSOSOSO MUCH... i honestly didn't expect to like yusuke when he first showed up but as soon as he spoke i was like. oh. Oh This Guy. LIKE HE'S SO SILLY he makes me giggle with how he's just so like. WEIRD. but i genuinely don't see how people find him creepy - the fact that he doesn't have any harmful intentions is very clear and he's just a guy who fumbles every social interaction he's ever in and i want to be his best friend for it I LOVE HIM.

4. ryuji sakamoto - I LOVE RYUJI HE'S SUCH A GUY TO ME i love him being best friends with ann and i love his stupid comments he is so funny fr

5. morgana - EVERYONE'S SO MEAN TO MY SILLY KITTY GUY... usually mascot characters like him are super annoying but i fuckin LOVE morgana he's so funny and adorable. i wanna cuddle him THE KITTY EVER

6. kasumi yoshizawa - she's really cute and sweet! the fact that i don't have anything besides that to say about her is why she isn't higher on the list lol

7. akira kurusu - he's a Guy. i like him as a protag, he has dialogue options that don't make me wanna rip my hair out and he had the emotional intelligence to comfort ann without making me want to be like "YOU'RE FUMBLING THIS FR SHUT UP STOP TALKING LET ME TALK TO HER" so i like him. however he's just a guy that exists to me

8. futaba sakura - she's cute! but being a woman in stem is like. every girl i know irl is Like That so she doesn't feel very blorbo to me when she's just An Average Girl In My Comp Sci Class, yk? i might be more interested in her when i actually come across her tho

9. goro akechi - i don't care about him at all i want what he has tho (knows sae niijima personally)

10. makoto niijima - SORRY SORRYSORRYSORRY SORRY. i know this is anti-feminist of me and considering she's so well-liked i am sure i will change my mind on this based on later stuff in the game. but MAN. her attitude is absolutely rancid in the pre-second palace scenes........ LIKE i'm not even mad at her for selling out the phantom thieves bc i get that she's been blackmailed but she said something to akira about how she "didn't know if ann being a victim of kamoshida was all there was to it" naming ANN SPECIFICALLY and not akira or ryuji and like. GIRL WHAT ARE YOU IMPLYING THERE WHY ARE YOU SINGLING OUT ANN i do not like the implications there they're Yucky!!! you can do what you have to do without being nasty to ann and mean Okay Thanks.

A friend of mine has been watching a streamer playing 13 sentinels and, as we talked a bit (not much since the game is such a mess, in a good way, but like, you can't say much without spoiling it), i suddenly started remembering the plot of some hijioki fics i read and it was such a weird moment cause i had totally forgotten i had read those. They were so good and i don't even know if i can find them again cause i did not save them...
