#moon and demifiend

[queered-into-oblivion]

🎥💎💕 for both? :o

took a while because both me and moon wanted to answer for our respective fixations - demifiend

persona 3:

scenes- how you get everyone together and go to the park, how fuuka gets trapped in the apparatus. how you know its all going to end soon and it feels painfully melancholic but happy. you get to have everyone together for once. it means a lot to me and makes me cry every time i get to it; its so final but so loving

how he specifically asks to go with everyone too. and how not all players will even see it, i hope everyone does though because its magical

trivia/etc- obvious things like how you can revive shinjiro/chidori. even though chidoris is pretty damn hidden and not even we knew about it until the 3rd or something play-through

{you have to talk to junpei every day after chidoris death and she revives but with no memories. theres debates on it in the fandom but i like that junpei gets something nice; he deserves it}

something thats not really a fact but been thinking about it is the limited merch they released for the movies. the aigis headphones for winter of rebirth were really fucking good specifically and us and our friend actually found them in almost mint condition in a mandarake and managed to buy them just a week ago

character- akihiko sanada is the most amazing fucking character and people need to love him more

hes so autistic, loves fighting and fitness so much its his special interest and he uses it to navigate how he sees everything. caring, one track minded but in the best way

intelligent in his own way, as much as arena wants to deny it. he was the one to figure out the full moon link and everything; he’s consistently known for good marks in school even if its with mitsurus help. hes *smart* really damn smart

also his drive to protect everyone and keep honouring miki and shinjiro after their deaths is fucking beautiful; dont care what anyone says the scream at shinjis picture was heartbreaking and i hope they manage to capture it in reload. god i love akihiko

im not biased dont look at me /lh {it said to do one otherwise id do one for aigis and ryoji too. could do all of sees and bebe and akinari and the old couple and everyone, i love them all}

smt nocturne:

scenes- thats a hard one… hell biker/mara summoning is really funny but the conception/raidou joining your party/manikin slaughter make me emotional still

raidou joining just because im really gay and it was kind of sweet. the other two because they’re sad. especially the manikins, they all deserved so much better

trivia- basic things that i like: smtv being a sequel to nocturne is really cool especially with how the nahobino plot plays out but i wish the story of smtv was… better in canon/took longer than 3 days

also the demifiends english va was the director for the english dub which is interesting

character- does raidou count? im making raidou count

but if not, futomimi easily no contest hands down. i love him, i love the manikins, they had the best reason, fuck you chiaki

also i don’t know if its me being biased or what the game does but assuming its the second i like how the game makes you feel kinship with them for being not able to make a real reason. and i like how they tried anyway

Bit of a weird idea i have: Altaïr didn't survive long after being born and Umar, desperate to get them back, decided to summon a demon. Al Mualim could even be there to help, to help offer something enticing enough for the demon to revive Umar's loved ones. The demon tells them it will only revive the child and simply asks for some blood in return. Altaïr is revived, but has a strange circle with symbols on back. Despite that, he is a normal child. Until Umar dies. He grows stronger, faster. More ruthless as he grows. Many fear him, but the Eagle of Masyaf sees all. Hears all. He is loyal to Al Mualim. For he is the one who monthly, under the full moon, seal away his growing power. But of course Al Mualim can only do so much and it is hard work, so Altaïr can only dream of paying him back. Until the Temple of Solomon happens.

.

Essentially Altaïr is a human with demon blood, but due to Al Mualim's rituals, he has become more demonic. Now he has to fight a deep, mad bloodlust and like Pandoras box, once the seal has been weakened, it can't be fixed.

Idk, just a fun little idea i had. ^^

Oh, oh, oh. What if that strange circle with symbols on his back start to ‘grow’ the more Al Mualim performs ritual upon him.

Al Mualim tells him his growing back tattoo is a seal of some kind and maybe Al Mualim does believe that he’s sealing Altaïr’s demonic blood.

The truth is that the more ritual Al Mualim performs, the more Altaïr’s demonic blood awakens and ‘rewrites’ his human body.

And, of course, since we’re talking about demonic deals, my first thought is which Ars Goetia demon would make a good match as Altaïr’s demonic ‘parent’.

Of course, Umar and Maud are still his parents but the demonic blood now running in his veins made him sorta like the adopted son of the demon who granted Umar’s wish. As far as I remember, there’s really no Ars Goetia demon who preside over resurrection but I like the idea of him being connected Vassago, a prince of hell that can tell what has come to pass and what will happen as well as able to discover hidden or lost things. Also, he’s one of the few demons to be have a supposed good nature. Altaïr could be considered the ‘lost’ thing.

And because it’s Umar who made the deal with Vassago, we can have Vassago talk to Altaïr in his dreams, telling him how to better ‘control’ the changes he’s going through.

Appearing before Altaïr as Umar.

Is he just using Umar’s likeness? Could he and Umar have fused because of their connection to Altaïr?

Who knows.

What truly matters is that Vassago’s words offer the support that Altaïr needs to accept that he is different. It is only when Altaïr accepts that he isn’t human, can he start to sate his demonic urges. Because it isn’t truly bloodlust. It’s his demonic side battling his humanity as Altaïr refuses to accept it, making his demonic power go wild.

Whether he tells anyone about it though is a question for another day.

Other than being stronger and faster than others, I kinda like the idea that Altaïr’s demonic blood makes it easier for him to see if someone is lying or hiding something. The more demonic he becomes, the more he takes after his demon father. When it concerns past events, it would start vague enough that Altaïr would believe he read it somewhere but just can’t remember where. For future events, it starts of as that sense of deja vu.

Once he starts mastering his demonic powers, that’s when he starts receiving information on what he can do as a demifiend.

One of which is… making contracts with humans.

local elderly girl sells stickers at a japanese food festival

not gonna lie, the entire experience is very emotional to me and it's been a month but moon channel's vid essay about cool japan, and the release of smt5 vengeance (lol) inspired me

tldr: i made some stickers, got real existential about it, will keep making more c: if youd like to check them out, here's a link

ive always wanted to draw, i used to say i was gonna become a painter or a fashion designer when i grew up. none of that happened, but i did go to film school. my final project was a script for an animated short highly inspired by nbc hannibal, majora's mask (i know, it was 2016, it makes sense to me lol) and a huge loss in my life from which i havent fully recovered, 10 years later.

the point is, ive always been art adjacent but i never really drew, until i got inspired by_hannibal itself_, noel fielding, kylux (LOL) and a roommate who was who was really inspired by art youtubers like frannerd and drew around the house, so i picked up a pencil and started drawing hannigram fanart bc i was so insanely in love with that show lol i remember who i was before i drew. i spent my days reading and watching tv, bc i love stories and stuff, but i was a consumer. and once i got a job after college i felt so incredibly isolated and directionless. do i have a direction now, as i work as a """"designer""" for a company that sells a mental health app? no. but like demifiend was force fed a magatama and got demon powers (LMAO BEAR WITH ME I JUST BOUGHT SMT3 HD REMASTER), i caught the art demon (like steven zapata says). and i caught it bad. i spend my day to day rushing through my work and chores and everything so i can have enough time to draw in the evening, to do whatever, and sometimes the need is so immense i cant do anything bc im not good enough, my skills are fading, im worthless, what's the meaning of all this? so i took a chance and showed my work at an arts alley on a japanese food festival i was helping organize. mind you, i was juggling that with my 9/5, promoting the event, finishing drawings from years ago. and when i got there, nobody got it. people looked at the stickers and didnt recognize the characters, and went on to buy the stickers my friends had that were more current. it was all japanese fanart. we were there with the single purpose of baiting weebs like us lol

ive always dealt with clients, im used to this. but im used to business to business, bc sigh i am a corporate girly. and im a beginner in the demon arts of arting. i felt so ashamed people were preferring other people, that i had the audacity to think i was worth anything. but i stood there, standing still with my brain boucing off my skull wanting to leave but also enjoying the experience and hoping someone, anyone would get it. and some people did. to my surprise, jack frost was my best selling sticker, lol. jack frost, from the smt franchise, a franchise im so new to but i love so dearly. im 100% a poser, ive never finished a megaten game. but… it just speaks to me. and thats where my cool japan feelings come from bc, like i said, i was selling at a japanese food festival. people my age, from the country i come from, were exposed to dragon ball and cardcaptor sakura from birth. and learning about history and the atrocities of the japanese empire is just. who can you trust. but ive aways resonated with one thing from japan, and it's the way they portray sadness in their works. it's become a ritual since last year that i will listen to smtv's ost when im on my period bc it literally brings me back to life. no one but i know how many times ive drawn goro majima and taiga saejima bc their mere existance and their sorrow resonates with me so immensily and i dont wanna see them being sad, nor do i wanna see me being sad. it's. it's really difficult to be to admit that im from brazil, bc our country sells happiness as an export but for many, many years the most popular genre is butthurt country music, and it makes sense, you know? people dont wanna admit they're sad. and i can only imagine what it's like for regular japanese people, bc we (i) get to see their big exports of bittersweetness… i dont know, maybe other people get to see that from brazil too, i dont know. the arts in brazil, or specially where i live, it's just isnt in the cards for us. but ill keep trying, you know. and i know fanart is a hack. but im trying. despite everything and everyone wanting us (me) to work for mining/metal/oil companies, make the most money, have the least health, drink all the alcohol (but call an uber), consume, reproduce and die, i. i just wanna draw tiny people, you know. it's. not that big a deal. all this to say that yes im gonna keep drawing and making stickers and, who knows, you know. these are stickers that i wont ever find near me, or that im too broke to get them from artists/official stores, so if youre like me, here's some pdfs in case you wanna print them and stick them wherever c: ty if you got this far, this is a big ramble… but it's been years in the making and despite everything im happy about it c:

HC: Moon

Demifiend is actually deeply unsettled by the moon now. She used to enjoy it, thought it was the jewel of the night sky, but now all she sees when she looks at it is the omnipresent body of Kagutsuchi, just waiting to rip everything away from her again via forces far out of her control, and of the constant shifting of phases pulling at her very mind and soul above her

She still thinks it's lovely. It just upsets her, now, on her worse nights.

[mugenfinder]

I’m trying to build the ultimate MUGEN roster, do you have any characters you consider to be a must-have for any good roster?

Hard question for me to answer because there's SO much and I've only messed with so many classic characters. You should be able to find the real popular classics easily, like Bluestreak and Reubenkee's work. I'm mainly about OCs so I can't tell you too many versions of adapted characters. So I'm just gonna tell you whatever comes to mind that isn't terrible or blatantly nsfw.

In terms of stand alone characters that you probably wouldn't find immediately:

Crea and Sayia by Sekirei are old adapted(?) characters that are worth looking at.

Dagger's work (Black Dragon Eni, Phantom Scissors, Kikka Yajima)

I should start posting more characters in general

Here's a list of sites and pools or whatever I think are worth looking through.

Cerenas' Work, his Asuka 120% characters are good

Kamekaze's site is a good start for various things JustNoPoint has The None's stuff plus others, there's a lot of joke stuff but there's some normal solid characters.

TrinityMugen has a small pool of stuff by some old authors, including DivineWolf who's stuff is used everywhere.

Kishio's Characters are all good originals. (Links near the bottom on the left)

Tanukida's characters are fun (Links are in the description at the top)

Masukenpu might have some good stuff in here, I don't know much of it. ELECTRO's "Ultimate" characters are good custom versions. Descolor's work is worth mentioning

Ukege recreated the Robo-Kys, you can change switch out the moves of his Mk. II and Mk. III. He also made Robo-Len, Robo-Sol, and ZAGI.

Dagger's work (Black Dragon Eni, Phantom Scissors, Kikka Yajima)

Rikard's characters are classic KOF edits but I've barely touched them. Ouchi's work is great, they made what I think is the original version of Agrias Oaks? The one that uses FFT mechanics, there's two other versions by different people and they all use the same sprites. They also recreated some Urobura (Type Moon Parody) characters and made ASB Hol Horse.

Iwakick's MVC characters are a thing

YUUKI_IN_SLASH's Demifiend and Black Frost MAITAKE's work is great.

Hirohiro's work

I WOULD say Mr. Chicken Heart's characters just keep in mind they're VERY weird feeling but are very cool.

Ahuron's work, SeanAlty has some classics

Brergrsart's work is high-quality, he made Trouble Man and Vargverse among others. But his characters do unfair amounts of damage so they're mainly for comedy purposes. Keep that in mind.

If you want good Kula edits, the ones I know are good are Fliz, Flamme, Lyzer Spinel, Gliz, and Izuko

I would post more but my brain keeps fighting itself, Mugen Free For All has collections for series and authors. It's a huge life-saver since a lot of stuff in those would probably be lost or way harder to find otherwise.

There's also the Mugen Guild Wiki but it has a lot of dead links or links that lead to sites with dead links. But it can be good for learning about stuff.

[theotherseapancakes]

It's a day ending in Y and I'm thinking about how the various artists in the video games I adore influenced me greatly. Kazuma Kaneko, Yasuda, Shigenori Soejima... so I wanna post some of my fave arts from each. Cut because I just feel like rambling IDK.

This one is I think from a cover for an Innocent Sin guidebook. The art on this one really captures making it feel like a real-life thing somehow. Most of Kaneko's art does, if I'm honest, and it's why I love his newer work. That porcelain doll aesthetic, the thick chunky lines, the glossy blacks. It makes his eldritch entities feel horrifically alive.

Something that captures me as an artist wrt to Kaneko's work is how well it takes up space and DEMANDS you FEEL that space. I'm always enraptured. Here's another example, this time from SMT Nocturne (thanks to this tumblr x )

There's so much going on here with symbolism between the 4 Horsemen and the Demifiend, it's phenomenal. Love the palette and the sweltering uncomfortable Amala Labyrinth reds. Moving on to Soejima... I like his recent work, but his older stuff for P3 was what truly captured me most.

The color palette, the Full Moon Shadow masks, the symbolism here. His expression, the way he's just staring. God, this is everything. The paintwork. It's gorgeous and it's serving me anime renaissance vibes. Great shit. I have no notes, Makoto/Minato best guy 10/10. Why not attach another piece of work of Soejima's I like...?

Fucking gorgeous use of the overwhelming spectral-esque palette here. Feels like I'm in the Underworld itself just looking at it. You can tell there's so much going on here. The Great Seal door is really beautifully painted. NEXT. Now, Suzuhito Yasuda gets a lot of flack for his inability to draw tits (deserved to a degree I can't lie) but I'd be lying if I said his simple but REALLY expressive art didn't inspire the hell out of me, so let's look at some Devil Survivor art that got me BIG into that game.

I love love LOVE his fashion designs and how weird and wacky they tend to get. I think he's probably best known for his work on stuff like Durarara but I love how he does eyes and character expressions, and you can see that even better in his own manga Yozakura Quartet, where he manages some visceral feeling moments:

Real feral energy to the faces in his art honestly. I love that shit. Does this post have a point? No, I just really like thinking about art, and I guess I wanted to talk about some art that inspired me a lot that isn't just Jun Mochizuki's Everything, lmao.

[prose-merlin]

I wanna write Nahobino and Demifiend breeding kink/demonic mating cycles but the catch is that Demifiend’s just in a frenzy because of his magatama, and he ends up spitting a magatama/magatama eggs into Naho’s mouth and infecting him in a similar manner to himself.

[shuttershocky]

when did nasu made the split of Type-Moon between Fate and Not-Fate, like how recently was the decision made? also is this gonna be like Mainline shin megami tensei and the persona-verse all over again?

I don't remember the exact date actually, but this was definitely years after Fate/Stay Night, probably around the time Apocrypha or Strange Fake were coming out.

Stay Night was originally written to still be a part of the mainline Nasuverse, with lots of connecting points such as Shirou summoning Saber the same night Tsukihime ended (dating Shiki and Aoko's last meeting to 2004), Shirou having gotten his red coat as Archer from Ciel, comparisons of the power levels of Dead Apostle Ancestors to Servants, etc. There's even a bit about how Gil is the only servant with a decent matchup against Arcueid, because just like how Gate of Babylon is "coded" as his NP so the only mana he pays is opening it (he doesn't pay mana to use the weapons inside), Arcueid cannot use her own ability to upgrade herself to scale to his strongest weapon and can only try to punch him, making the matchup similar to Gil vs Herc (except Arc has infinite lives).

As for the comparison of Mainline SMT to Persona... Sort of? The main difference is the only crossover between SMT and Persona are the demons that act as the Personas, you won't find anything about Demifiend running around the back of Inaba for example. Fate on the other hand has plenty of crossover from the mainline Nasuverse, it's just a one-way relationship where you're not going to see any Servants outside of Fate.

[queered-into-oblivion]

its 7am cant sleep anyone alive/want to ask shit

[jieanette]

A bunch of Naotatsu AUs because I can't stop thinking about them

1) Model AU

Where Naoya is an up and coming model with quite a reputation with the girls. Despite his rising popularity, he lives a normal life with his husband, Tatsuya, who is supportive of Naoya. He frequently goes to his runway shows. Being a model isn't easy, because he has to face a lot of criticisms about his appearance, endure a LOT of tight clothing and mean photographers and bosses. When he had a bad day, Tatsuya would comfort him and cheer him up, which always works.

2) Folklore AU

A bit angsty, it's about a mere mortal farmer (Naoya) being in love with one of the Sun people (Tatsuya), a celestial being. (A bit of lore behind this: In fictional Japan there is a belief where celestial beings exists and lived separately from mortals, The Sun Kingdom, Moon Kingdom, and the Thunder Kingdom (there's more but don't wanna go too deep into that) Tatsuya is one of the Sun people who mortals from Earth worship for a successful harvest throughout the year). Being a celestial being, it is considered disgraceful for someone to fall in love with a mortal, since mortals are considered below than them. But that didn't stop him from loving Naoya, who was aware of his origins. Yusuke, a kitsune with some connection to the Gods that ruled over the celestial kingdoms, warned Tatsuya that he'll live a life of grief if he continued his relationship with Naoya, because he is a mortal that could easily die, and he'll be heartbroken. Katsuya, who knew about their relationship, warned him that their father would forcibly cut Tatsuya off with Naoya, to protect their family's reputation. This is a tough choice to make, should he continue on, or cut everything off with his lover? Would he still be happy if he did the former?

3) Reincarnation AU

An underdeveloped one, it's basically a series of the two dying a tragic death only to get reincarnated again with no memories of their past lives. Now, I only planned for Tatsuya to do something about it so that they get to live normally as a couple with no complications, but I didn't really focused on it much. But there is a happy ending where, in a modern setting, he and Naoya bumped into each other, then, after him walking further away did Tatsuya realized that he was the same lover that he almost sacrificed his soul for, chased after him. It ends when he finally caught up with him. He asked him if he still remembers him, in which Naoya smiled and said yes. Cue a kissing scene.

4) Old Japan AU

An AU where Naoya is a son of a noble and prestigious clan. He grew tired of his noble life and decided to go out and experience some fun in a festival. This is where they both met. Tatsuya is a samurai in an also prestigious and honourable family. They both tend to secretly meet at midnight after their first meeting. Also Naoya endlessly flirts with the samurai when he was tasked to guard the sons of the clan.

5) House Husband AU

Largely inspired by that one anime, where Tatsuya is a house husband while Naoya is the breadwinner. This AU is mainly comedic because I like to imagine Tatsuya being all dramatic when talking about his job as a house husband and Naoya being all like, "Honey, we can just share the chores." He has a 'gang' of house husbands, Eikichi, Yu, and Katsuya, which are equally as dramatic as he is about being a house husband. Perhaps I'll add Demifiend into the mix because I ship him with Nahobino (protag of SMTV) lmao.

I think that's all I believe? Forgive me of the constant postings of this ship. I just suddenly remembered how much I love them together. Also so sorry if it's OOC of the characters!

SMT fangame idea: SMT DGAS(Demonic Gender Affirming Surgery)

-you were just about to get your GAS surgery of choice, in a about a week, but the APOCALYPSE happened and now you have no idea what to do

-choices are severely limited but you have five possible endings (Chaos, Amid Chaos, True Neutral, Amid Law, Law)

-features such as:

>the moon cycle has now been replaced by a dysphoria meter! It will slowly go up with each mistake a demon makes about your gender identity. The meter can only max out through demon convos, and does not go up on its own. The main mechanism for getting this to go down is coping options. Chocolates, binders, a nice bath, etc etc. In lunatic, the meter goes up slowly constantly, and will get a spike at bad plot points! Better make sure you know how to cope! (on a lunatic setting maxing out the Dysphoria meter is an instant game over.).

>Demons can now comment on your general appearance, giving a vague direction as to where you are on the ending scale by how it fits with the demons taste(and their alignment by extension). Divine Angel thinks that's a neat dress? Your on the law path. Fiend Lucifer thinks that leather jacket makes you look manly? Your on the chaos path! Fashion matters, and most equipments will have gendered varieties with different stats!

>Choose your gender and pronouns! If the demons don't use em, kill them! What? Like that's hard?

>The Ring of Gaea will in fact give you the DGAS, and is the quickest "ending", the catch being that not only has your gender been affirmed, you are now their personal bio-superweapon. The rest of this pathline includes, but is not limited to: killing transphobic demons and warlords, organizing raids and riots on enemy fortresses, and The Strong will survive, the weak will die. The standard chaos stuff.

>The Angels are even WORSE than in previous games! They not only will outright lie to you about their respect for your gender, ignore your gender, and gaslight you about your own gender, their ending doesn't even give you a DGAS! (There are two final choices in this ending but are considered largely to be the same: accept that the angels toyed with you and never cared about you, or murder them in cold blood)

>Stephen is back! He's going to constantly hold the promise of your dream form in front of you, and will make you do several convulted things. This ending is stretched out as far as beta testers would let the developers go, with intentional bullshit such as: you've completed x, now go all the way back to the start, and by the way, the teleporters and save rooms down work. I mean, Stephan does deliver, giving you an entirely new body and disintegrating the old one in front of your very own eyes! Fucked up! Thanks Stephan!

>The Amid endings are, as implied, somewhere between chaos, neutral, and law. Each one leans into a different direction. The Amid Chaos ending is about a long search to find a donor demon with the body you want, and maybe getting their consent about taking it over. Maybe, maybe not. Demons are assholes. The Amid Law is the "closest" to reality, where you have to find the last remaining GAS surgeon in Tokyo, only to realize that there are none, but luckily for our protag, the cathedral of shadows has a suggestion! Fucked up occult rituals! It Just Works! you have to gather the parts you want first, from specific boss demons that are hidden all over the map! Will this give you nightmares about Mara? Maybe? Definitely? Shrug?

>the conversation system will now recognize how well your gender presentation is holding up by the reactions demons give you. Transwoman and getting hit on by male demons? Hopefully your doing something right! It may not be the something YOU want but it's something! Femme demons a lil confused by the transmasc character? Uhoh! The Dysphoria meter just went straight to max! Better do something before it's too late!

>increasingly bizarre characters with genders beyond human comprehenshin! Think Modify by lemon demon, yeah that horrified look is about right.

>featuring secret bosses such as: Dysphoria Incarnate, the living embodiment of being trapped in the closet, The Demifiend, and The Black Samurai. The demifiend will give a transmasculine protag advice on where to get boob removal post his boss battle, and just shrugs at a transfemme protag and leaves them a sword(HEAVILY implied to be Dante Devil May Cry's). The Black Samurai from SMT 4, who will join a transfemme protag's party(even adding a little dialog in the chaos and amid endings!), and immediately will throw hands with the transmasc protag, and apologize afterwards and leave them a cool knife.

[remastered-fate]

So Mr. The Demifiend, when and where r u from?

It'd be Ms/Miss actually, but I'm from the Tokyo Vortex World. Circa... I'm not sure, exactly, 2005 or 2006, now? It was April 2004 when the Conception happened, and it's been a fair bit since then, and I don't exactly have a way to track time anymore. It's not like we have a sun or something in the vortex world, and since I destroyed Kagutsuchi it's not like we have a moon either, so, you know. Could be 4002 for all I know. But I, personally, am I from 2004.

Ace’s Mostly MegaTen Room Tour

It’s hard to put into words how I feel about MegaTen, so… here’s my room instead.

Feel free to ask me where I got something! A ton of pictures under the readmore + optional ramblings about my set-ups.

A while ago, I moved into this room cause it’s slightly bigger than the old room I was occupying. It doesn’t have the nice minty blue my old room has, but my decorations are more than colorful enough to make up for it!

Because I planned on moving into this room for ages (it used to be my dad’s band room) I master planned the placement of all my furniture and all the wall décor I had at the time. :B

I love DSRK the most! So it got to decorate the area around the head of my bed!!

Then for the foot of my bed – obviously I had to pay tribute to my personeys, as p3 is kind of my reason for being. It’s a long story, but let’s just say p3 came into my life at a very good time and I have built my current happiness from there. I got this huge B1 size wallscroll with all the characters! The blue is very calming.

Of course, I had to add a bit more SPARKLE to it. So I put in a string of blue LEDs behind the frame. The effect is much nicer when it’s dark.

At the side of my bed is my weird shelf/desk, which I bought specifically cause it was a shelf/desk. I never put up the desk part, lol. It’s just my night stand now. My Surface Pro is right there… with like 8 doodles open in CSP that I’ll never post. :B

Remotes, controllers, a DS that has an 80% finished play through of Strange Journey, 3 tubes of chapstick cause I always misplace them… what more could I ask for? Oh yeah, some Jack Frosts are there too cause you can never have too many Jack Frosts.

Unfinished garage kit of nendoroid Raidou smh. I will start and finish it one day. After my grad degree. I have Raidou’s manga despite not being able to read it, and also the dsrk2 fan book? I used google translate to look at it a bit and laughed at how it calls Louis beautiful/handsome.

Upper half! Some mish mash, another untouched garage kit of Raidou, a Dahn standee that got the top of his hair chopped off when the printer decided to offset the picture, IGNIS, and the Baron! My old prints are behind on the wall along with some free stickers I got way back when from an artist who saw me in my Raidou cosplay, lol. The paper luck locust box is gonna be replaced EVENTUALLY with a really cool 3d printed version my friend modeled!!

A view from my bed. So colorful. Don’t laugh at my shiny drawer paper plastered over the backside of my shelves. >:v Notice P5 doesn’t have a frame yet. It will once I decide I feel like spending money on getting it one. It’s my least favorte personey game, tbqh. I’m actually indifferent to it, but I did buy the CE for collecting’s sake. :p

Another view from my bed. My closet! Funny story about the “DEVIL SUMMONER” over my door – my brother and I went to Home Depot to get some stuff and I wanted some cheap letters to spell it out. My brother goes, “Imagine when we get to the register and the cashier scans them to spell out DEVIL SUMMONER, lol” I shuffled them up to avoid that, but did a shit job so it read, “DEVSIL UMMONER” :x

It’s hard to see but on the coat rack there I have a Raidou-esque cape and hat hung on the third rack. It’s so fun to wear out. ‘ p ‘ I can’t wait til it’s cold enough to wear again!

That curtain rod wouldn’t normally be there, but I discovered it’s a nice way to have some privacy while keeping my door open. I hung up my own prints smh, tho that was kinda the point of ordering them, haha. Katsuya there, ah, he’s like a “good vibes” board where I post good things that have happened with the date on them. I haven’t added to him in a looong time, mostly because I stopped needing to? Everyday’s a good day now. It is nice to look back sometimes if I’m feeling down. I even used cupcake sticky notes since it was Katsuya. I just remembered I even photoshopped him to be smiling, lol.

Also – the fact he’s on the back of my door means as long as I keep my door open then ppl can’t ask me why I have a bigger than life size Katsuya on the back of my door.

An idea I carried forward from my old room. Clear files have art on them and need to be displayed!! The top ones are a paint to keep from peeling off the wall. I’m using an ineffective method that needs changing – I’m just tooooo laaazyyy to get the big ladder upstairs to fix it.

My Yasogami High letterman is on display forever since IT’S NEVER COLD ENOUGH TO WEAR IT IN THIS GODFORSAKEN STATE, at least not yet. I have a lot of jackets to choose from. Maybe I should do a jacket tour.

The thing that divides my room between sleep & play + my little “office”. Raidou, my best boy, is displayed here! I got a light up moon to put behind him. I am a SUCKER for things that light up. You can see Demifiend and Lucifer behind him, then of course Satan there acting as an impromptu jewelry holder. So spiny.

Jack Frost photobombs Satan.

Back to the other things in my room… here’s a poster of Demifiend I absolutely love and a Strange Journey poster I recently acquired! Fun fact, I had a chance to obtain a SIGNED Kaneko SJ poster but hadn’t played it at the time so I didn’t bid. No one bid and it went off the market. This was before the SJ remake was announced too so demand/popularity was nil. Ah, well, at least I got a nice original SJ poster. I wholly prefer it over the remake’s poster. >_> It’s very soothing to walk by… the pictures don’t do it justice!

I plan on buying a blacklight to hang above Demifiend’s poster later. Later.

On the ottoman below the SJ poster is my school backpack (with a small P3/P4 tarot card keychain) and then my general bag I take everywhere. A slightly professionally looking cat bag that I take to work. The “Don’t quit your daydream” pillow was an indirect purchase cause my mom wanted to buy a cushion to put between some huge pots we bought from a home goods store and I got to choose the pillow.

My keychain board! Plus some memories. Look at that good Raidou/Dahn my friend drew me. ‘ p ‘ I love it! There’s also an old xmas/bday card my long time friend sent me a few years ago. I’m sentimental.

Oh yeah, I moved the smt4 wallscroll that used to be in the SJ frame to here. I haven’t played smt4 yet and no idea when, but bought the wallscroll cause it was hella cheap. Maybe there was a reason for that, lol.

Other side of my desk. Catch a glimpse of my Sky High butt mousepad. Hunting that one down was fun.

I bought that blue double frame to put P3 art cards in, smh. Nick Valentine watches over me while I work. He was a gift from my long time friend and was delivered on Valentine’s day!!

Then these next few pictures are just close ups of the collections I have on my tall shelves.

My reason for being… there’s not much else I want for it. I don’t collect EVERYTHING, I collect until it feels “complete”!

Ah, yes, T&B! The otp for life. Those 1/6 scales were not cheap, man. I seriously got my first job at the bux just to start collecting P3 and T&B merch, y’know.

More T&B. I’ve been meaning to get Rock Bison and Blue Rose for a long time, it’s just not so pressing that I’m going to do it any time SOON however. Of course I had money to drop for my best boy Ryan, tho. :B The background thingys are displays I swiped from the bux before they were tossed out.

For someone who’s least favorite Persona game is 5, they have a shelf anyway cause dammit it looks nice. Mostly flash and little substance, as I tend to say when the subject gets brought up. I put Morgana in a shopping cart I picked up at a Daiso for no good reason.

AND THAT’S IT……………… That’s my room. This was an accumulation over 4 years of collecting. I’ve slowed down CONSIDERABLY and don’t buy as much these days simply cause they don’t make what I want. Which is good for my wallet lmao.

I hope you enjoyed whatever this was! And maybe understand how much I enjoy MegaTens, even if I don’t really draw it much.

@demifiend-izanagi​ tagged everyone and I’m feeling like procrastinating so why not. :D

a - age: 23 b - biggest fear: The dark (And everything lurking in it from monsters to other people) c - current time: 20:55 d - drink you last had: Hot cocoa... or cold cocoa because it’s gone cold. (+ sweet bun dipped in it) e - every day starts with: Waking up and going back to sleep because I was probably woken up by a parent who needed to ask me something before the time I actually wanted to wake up. (And when I DO get up, it starts off with me going through my Tumblr dashboard.) f - favorite song: TOO MANY. I’ll just say what I’m currently addicted to! Which would be that “The Sound of Silence” cover by Disturbed. AND this one!

g - ghosts, are they real: I hope not. x’’’D Logic says no, but I never say no until there is proof. h - hot or cold weather: Cold. Really hot temperatures make me nauseus easily so. e_e i - in love with: Music and cats! j - jealous of: I’m not of the sort to get jealous. I can’t really think of anyone/anything I’d be jelly of. O_o k - killed someone: Lol, no. xD l - last time you cried: I’m not the crying sort either. The only things that really might make me tear up/weep would be funerals and particularly ugly arguments. (Or being afraid of something scary. XD Like that one time I played Persona 3 and came upon Death and just ended up pausing the game and hiding under my table to eat cookies.) m - middle earth race: I still need to find the time to listen to an audiobook of those books... But I’m prioritizing The WItcher because I want to get into Witcher 3 with full knowledge of all the references. n - number of siblings: None that I know of. :D (Unless we count cats. Hm.) o - one wish: To be able to make a living by making art. I don’t care if I’d work in a company or if I’d be freelancer, as long as it keeps me alive and allows me to do art. p - person you last called/texted: Texted my dad a few days ago. I said “ok” q - questions you’re always asked: “Where are you from?” and “How old are you?” on Overwatch. (And in some cases this leads to the askers trying to flirt with me... Uh... Yay for being a girl gamer in a game with voice chat?) Otherwise I don’t talk to people I don’t know super much so there aren’t that many questions that get asked over and over again. r - reasons to smile: TOO MANY TO COUNT. Cats, cute drawings, DOLLS, I LOVE MY DOLLS, also winning comp in Overwatch and getting achievements, and good music and old Disney movies and cinnamon rolls and this amazing salad my dad gets me from a Vietnamese restaurant and Breath of the Wild and getting random ideas for stories and doing art trades and drawing dumb stuff with my OCs and getting Shiny Pokémon in Sun and Game Grumps playing Paper Mario and getting new felting wool and yarn and showing people funny videos and Tumblr posts and watching Jarkko Ahola trying to eat while someone else acts as his hands and Skyrim and funny Dark Souls videos and the Sunbro and sleeping and the Metatron explaining Italian hand gestures and Junkrat and many more things but I should prolly stop because I was asked to play Overwatch. XD s - song last sang: I really like to sing along to that “The SOund of Silence” by DIsturbed. Which is one reason I’m so addicted to it. So fun to sing along to! t - time you woke up: UHM. LIKE 4-5 PM? GG ME. u - underwear color: Good god why. Black. v - vacation destination: Italy, pls. I love Italy. w - worst habit: Uh... Biting my hands when I’m nervous/bored. Very bad me. Used to be nail-biting, but when I got over THAT, this happened. x - x-rays you’ve had: Once I had this one tooth removed somewhere in the back of my mouth. (I think I had fractured it somehow, but it was loooong ago.) But some time later, a new tooth grew there even if it was not a baby tooth that they removed. My dentist was so confused because there was supposed to be a gap there but there wasn’t??? So they took an X-ray and realized a wisdom tooth had migrated to the old tooth’s spot and it just perfectly aligned there. It was amazing and I still love the confusion in the dentist’s voice when she compared my teeth to the records. xD y - your favorite food: Sushi is one. And my grandma’s veggie stew. And I guess also this AMAZING salad from that Vietnamese restaurant! So good! Cabbage, carrot, pineapple and chili marinade! Mmmmm~. z - zodiac sign: Capricorn. (And Gemini moon. Hehee.)
