#no results option bc im not a coward

[tma-themed-brain]

Curious based on the notes of one of my recent posts

[1seaweedbrain1]

i dont think social commentary media survives fandom culture and im lowkey pissed off about it bc like. i want to yap about those media i love those and to go to the tag or find people and it goes like

"wow i really liked how they showed the horror of it all and made a great allegory for <whatever thing its about>"

"ok but do you ship <thing that was not the point at all>?"

i wanna talk about the point of the media and what it means and shit. for example

i wanna talk about how cool it is to have a fawn response character especially given that girls are regularly told to make it work (source being shit ive been told my whole life) so even if your default response isnt fawn we're taught that it should be so to see how that can go through a media like that was a breath of fresh air because its been feeling like the only female victim options we have are "badass formed from fire" or "meek run away framed as coward" and it even wrapped in what not having another option can result in but ig if i had to pick to ship daisuke w/ that cryostasis pod.

Poll Results

Alright, that’s it, i’m tired of trying to sort the answers so yall just get the big list of all the free response answers to that quiz about ofa. be aware some are less safe for work than others.

memorable ones: OfA Snickerdoodle, I’d Give It To A Cat, So You Know Vore Right?, I’m in Love With Nana, Slicey Blood Oath, and Homoerotic Sword Fight

(My answer above is how I think it did happen, not how I want it to happen.) I personally think something along the lines of a Bruce Banner Jennifer Walker blood transfusion where the OFA holder doesn’t realize they’ve passed it on until later.

a tender kiss. perhaps loving. perhaps they're dying, and i already knew that they loved me, either platonically or otherwise, and we always knew that i'd be next. perhaps they tried so hard to make sure it never happened, and perhaps that tender kiss as an apology as much as it is a gift. sure sucks to be gay i guess 

Peacefully? By doing the do and making it a wonderful moment of lovemaking and passing on the future.. If we're in the middle of battle you bet your freaking butt I want them to kiss me dramatically, tell me they love me, and then yeet me away as they turn back to the fight. Ow but relationship goals. 

If we're not romantic because I am obsessed with the Duo Holders ship currently, blood works fine. Ingest it or have them pressing a bloody palm into a wound of mine *shrugs* Gotta pass it along somehow

Personally, I'd rather drink blood instead of hair. It feels less gross. But I'd pass it on as hair just to fuck with my successor

Hair or blood eating, but no touchy-touchy or whatever thx.

Probably a vial of blood so it’s easy and over quick

kiss 👉👈

i would like it to be blood from an already opened wound just cause it would probably less weird, ..........but knowing my luck and because irl my sister has attempted to feed me her baby teeth by shoving it to my lips and saying "eat", thats actually how i would get ofa. ( >:/ i have almost eaten at least two teeth this way because i thought she was being nice and giving me candy )

Consider: doing one of those blood oath things where you swear to be BFFs for eternity except now you also get a quirk out of it. But lbr kissing is way more romantic and you’ve made First/Second my new OTP, so I’ll stick with that for them. <3 But also, maybe to make the kiss option more romantic First thought something more along the lines of wishing he could give ~everything he has/all of himself~ to Second which counted as including his quirk, rather than specifically about giving him the power to defeat his brother?

This is going to sound gross but all ways of transferring DNA is. Just work up a sweat and have the other party drink it. It would probably be the best tasting option which is kinda a weird thing to think about. Nvm sweat doesn't contain DNA looked it up but I don't want to delete all of this so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ maybe a scraping of skin cells

Honestly the hair is probably the way I'd want to go. That or blood. Like just swallowing it.

Look, i know realistically it was probably some desparate on-the-brink-of-death "please defeat my brother" thing and oo, magic he gets the quirk. But consider. First's last fight with afo. Second is holding his bleeding body, crying. First gently cups Second's cheek and pulls him into a bloody kiss before dying. Second pulls himself together just long enough to flip off afo, barely resisting the urge to absolutely slaughter him, knowing he would lose. He finds his successor and trains him to the best of his ability, determined to not lose another person he cared for

I mean like dead skin cells probably dont work right? Except hair works so thats not true. So like you totally could lick someone to get OFA. Like could you imagine the whole holding your hand over someones mouth to shut them up but they lick you and they somehow wind up with your quirk, like crazy. What must have been the trial and error with this stuff cause they must have kept passing it inbetween each other to figure out its dna right. How long did it take for them to realize. Like you’re eating breakfast and theres a hair in your food like ew and why am i stronger now. Overall, comedic timing for getting a quirk would be hilarious.

My apprentice lays broken and bloody beneath me as I cradle them in my arms, crying on to an open wound on their face praying the power will be enough to save them

little bit of skin like a hang nail just like put it in a sandwich and dont thing about it

Put it in my coffee.

If I received it from Nana then I would love to have received it via eating her out~ though for passing it on to others I think I would just either spit into their mouths or shove a bleeding finger down their throat until they swallow and then run and get myself killed by AfO while taunting him with "I DON'T HAVE YOUR BROTHER'S QUIRK ANYMORE! SUCK MY NON-EXISTENT DICK YOU LOSER!"

knock me out and just inject the blood. if i have to actively think abt ingesting someone elses dna im gonna yeet myself into the ocean. to pass it on i'll just spit in a cup (or in their mouth) bc im not gonna make someone eat my hair nor is anyone getting my blood

who in their right mind would trust me with a power like ofa 💀afo just looks at me funny the quirk is his. im not a mc for a reason

Sexy battle where I’m the villain, and randomly the hero thinks “I wish I could save you”. Boom I punch them with bloody knuckles and the quirk passes to me. Now the hero has to teach me how to be good again. Also we fall in love.

You know, I always assumed I would head canon it as something romantic until canon proved me wrong But these options are so varied - I had to choose the most Dramatic (tm) one As for my actual answer: a gentle kiss with full consent from both parties

I will bite a holder as a sign of affection. There's probably some dead skin cells in the arm I can swallow by accident. They are used to this and sometimes we switch the quirk around for funsies.

You know, I spent like 10 minutes trying to think of something original here, but knowing my shit luck some bastard would spit in my drink or something and cast upon me the Curse of Bone Breaking and/or.... y’know..... AFO...........

okay this is gonna sound weird but. consider this i marry a very lovely women. we are in much love. we get attacked by evil people because she is a good hero but plot twist. i am secretly her nemisis. the attackers are my minions. i wanted her to protect me because i am very smol but. my comrades were too mean. she is nearly dead. "take this" she says. she kisses me and i am one for all. fuck, i say internally, but i dont tell her. she dies in my arms. i run and become vigilante and take down my once comrades. all is not well. i die unsatisfied. i eventually pass it onto a cat in an alleyway because they are the only one who is with me when i get hit with a back alley sniper

Blood or just like. skin. You could use nail clippers to take a bit off from a really fleshy area, like just under the nail. It's that easy

Spit in my food like an underpaid fast food worker.

i have long hair so that would not be ideal, but blood seems kinda...unsanitary, but i guess it would be better if i was 100% positive i wouldn't pass on some sort of disease. so if that could be ascertained then like a few drops of blood in a glass of water or something and then down the hatch, bam ofa passed on. i know other folks are probably typing some nsfw stuff but just. no. keep it in your pants y'all.

Blood transfusion First, pick a hospital Second, steal all their blood Third, have the previous user donate their blood to that hospital Fourth, get into a major accident and need a blood transfusion near the hospital you robbed Fifth, hope either OfA will only pass onto you bc your the intended recipient, or that no one else needs a blood transfusion Sixth, get the transfusion Seventh, steal all of the previous users blood back Eigth, return all the other stolen blood Ninth, get new identities, this crime leaves DNA everywhere Tenth, die of a blood clot due to incompatible blood types (optional)

okay realistically bleeding into a cut or a drop of blood into water and drinking it would be easiest but like... what if somehow dna could be baked into like a muffin or cookie or something... like i know when cooking with wines and stuff the alcohol cooks away and evaporates out but is that process the same for like blood? like if you baked your blood into a cookie would traces of your dna still be there? basically i want an ofa cookie (snickerdoodle preferably)

no i like my bones

drink a drop of blood. it'd go down easier than hair

no

Something dramatic and desperate in the heat of battle like blood or something

First of all, I think First passed OfA as he was dying entirely on accident, because Second was badly (though not critically) injured and they'd been sort of dancing around each other's feelings and doubting their own worth, so First, knowing he was dying and that his brother was a petty bitch who would probably kill Second anyway because he knows that First cared about him, kisses Second with blood on his lips and his last thoughts before dying are about how he wants Second to have the strength to survive if his brother comes after him.

If I was given the option of getting OfA, I wouldn't take it. I'm a coward and being given something like that is a death sentence.

If it was forced, probably ingesting the previous users blood, because blood is a lot easier to choke down than hair.

If I already had it and had to pass it on, I would want it to be something suitably dramatic like collapsing on the doorstep of a trusted loved one and explaining with my dying breath who killed me and why and then raising my blood covered hand to their face like I was going to caress their cheek only for them to taste blood. They cry and try to get me take it back and when I finally die they swear vengeance over my slowly cooling corpse.

Pass it on in a non-life threatening scenario where I decide I actually don’t like the weird bone breaking power a random person gave me as they were dying and wish I could pass it to someone else and through a weird set of circumstances end up accidentally cooking some of my own hair into brownies I was making because I shed like a dog and passing it to my new neighbor I came to welcome to the neighborhood.

Either drinking a glass of milk with their saliva (no icky hair taste), or an epic sharing of blood while clasping hands like knights in a noble brotherhood!

not by eating all mights long ass hair thats for sure, why did he give midoriya one of the longest ones he had, he has shorter hair right there on the back of his head. not to mention the fact of like how i would prefer to recieve it or give it away which would be just, fucking sharing a pop or something and swaping it through the backwash??? less nasty than hair and not as weird as the other options for spit which is like straight up spitting in a drink or the other persons mouth outside of kissing. if someone told me i had to eat their hair i would straight up say no thanks, cheers for the fitness glow up tho homie

I want nana 2 kiss me, on.,, the m,,,.."#*(@÷out.h pretty lady.,

Q-tip to the inside of the cheek

Those blood pacts where you slice your hands open and do a little handshake thing. Not very creative, but idk it just appeals to me

Via consumption of blood, babey

I would want it to be with a maybe maybe not homoerotic sword fight in a Wendy's parking lot, preferably while we are both being impaled on each other's swords. The sweet pain of almost dying is a very intense moment to share isn't it?

Sweet love

Hair

If it's someone cute, a kiss. Otherwise I'd probably just swallow a hair with some water.

i'd just like. spit in their water bottle. if thats not enough dna i guess licking a paper cut it is. hair is bad idwa bc it doesn't digest and can get wrapped up in things. and like. im too aroace for kissing and such

Last option, cause first is sexy as hell

okay you know what vore is, right. and you know how blood and organ transfusions work? well...

Not at all, like?? I enjoy being alive and not having my body destroyed thank you. Literally everyone with OfA died young-ish or has suffered debilitating injuries bc of it. Like Midoriya's bones are powder, and we don't even need to go into All Might's medical history. Like thanks but no thanks no freaky dna ingestion 4 me

Had a open cut from a can lid and ofa holder had an open cut. While lamenting about fins a successor.

Blood

Assuming we can bypass the rules of canon, it would be funny as fuck is OFA was passed on by intentional physical contact. So yes, a smooch for First and Second (and Second and Third) but also. Bitchslap of destiny. Nana giving her protege one last hug. All Might ruffles Mido’s hair like a dad to pass it on. I’m sure you get it

Bleeding over an open wound

lil bit of spit in a milkshake.

I hold their hand Platonically but it's summer and we're both sweaty and they're a little loopy and having weird thoughts due to dehydration and heat lmao, literally hanging around anyone for any extended period of time guarantees you accidentally ingest SOME of their dna. Dead skin cells are floating through the air ~constantly~ and if you have a friend I promise you've inhaled their dead skin cells before. Have fun with that knowledge!!

ok so like deffo a kiss, but in canon people get weird biological urges for using their quirks, like bby Toga drinking bird blood. First has had a LOT of "spit in their drink" intrusive thoughts over the years. immediately post first-kiss he is mystified that his intrusive thoughts have disappeared entirely, but then BAM it seems that second has the stockpile now, and with it, a preoccupation with vampire lore

drink from the same water bottle?

“EAT THIS!”

Pass it on by making them lick my arm because that would make them rly uncomfortable, passed to me by spiting in my 20oz Red Bull and then chugging it

[system-architect]

ok ok so in an earlier reblog i mentioned i wanted to talk about my Personal Headcanons (emphasis on that bc not everyone will like them and thats Fine) about asura gender/sexual dimorphism/trans and gnc asura etc etc that whole topic and so im gonna gab about that a bit??

warning that i discuss genitalia a bit in this post but there’s no like.. physical descriptions... i’m discussing it from an angle about what the differences or similarities there’d be between asura you might consider dmab vs asura you might consider dfab

ok SO asura honestly have NEARLY NO sexual dimorphism ingame to be honest and that’s the foundation of a lot of my headcanons-- they have the same body types universally and share some faces + hairs across both models. to be frank i feel like some of the fem asura model faces being sssooo typically girly cutesy feminine (and in turn not masc model not having the same options there; as well as the fem model lacking more masc options) is a fault on anet’s behalf because idk they’re cowards who can only dance around the idea that asura might not have a rigid physical-based gender binary

im also gonna make a disclaimer also that these headcanons are firmly influenced by the fact that i am trans and when it comes to headcanoning how a race handles gender and how their bodies work, of course im going to err towards making them a combination of relateable but “wouldn’t this be a cool fantasy world where everything was ideal and easy”. (if you are cis you might not really ‘relate to’ or find these headcanons desireable in which case pls remember im not holdin a knife to ur throat demanding u accept these as ur own hcs. Do What You Want With Your Own Characters)

But Anyways

based on a loose combo of Some ingame stuff but also my own personal feelings, i do headcanon that asura have sorta ‘body archetypes’ that you would consider dmab and dfab asura, and they do tend to respectively use he or she pronouns as well as girl/boy descriptors for asura who assert that they’re one of those particular genders, but they’re Very loose about it and their anatomy differs a great deal from humans/other races, and are naturally more.. what we’d consider androgynous i guess??

i hc that asura essentially have both types of bits by default HOWEVER depending on how hormones have changed and influenced the growth of a particular asura, one set is highly physically underdeveloped, whereas the other functions as a working reproductive organ capable of producing offspring in whatever way.. both asura would have sets of milk patches, and lactation would be induced by chemical instinctive triggers in the brain which would primarily occur in the asura who birthed/carried the offspring But an asura considered ‘dmab’ would potentially be able to nurse young if specific circumstances set off these chemical instinctive triggers as well

going on HRT wouldn’t make the other set of genitalia fertile but would pick up the physical development where theirs naturally left off prior

because of the fact that they don’t really differ in this department, they’re extremely lax about the concept of a gender binary and don’t really enforce toxic gender roles as well as are very chill about asura being trans or gender nonconforming, and i can’t see them having stigma towards intersex asura either! additionally, asura cultural clothing in itself already tends to be unisex too so like i literally don’t even have to make a headcanon about that..... they just plain don’t dress differently like that is actually canon fgjhkd

we also know that even in humans, humans are very ambiguous as newborns and if asura are very ambiguous in general then asura parents would probably refer to their child as “they” until they hit some kinda weird first puberty or w/e? (or if they had their kid’s chromosomes tested out of curiosity or smth for name planning idek) and may default to calling their child he/she depending on how their child developed but if their society doesn’t have transphobia then they’d be p accepting if their kid asked to be called smth different instead! they might suggest alternative names that they had also thought of for their child

asura would also likely have technology related to transition (surgery, hrt etc) way way more advanced than irl humans do.. being both scientific and also not having a cultural stigma that discourages ppl from working on it, there would probably be a lot of prolific doctors-- many of which would be trans themselves-- who have achieved a lot in this field of research

since it’s not at all implausible that asura could use someone’s genetics to grow an extra organ based off their genetic code and then transplant it into them perfectly, i HC that trans asura who want to be able to have infants But W/ Genitalia That Doesn’t Make Them Dysphoric can get surgery where they have a dif set of gonads grown for em based off their genes and then get it swapped in and their body accepts it and they’re able to produce viable eggs/sperm just like anyone else! i’m not sure if this is wholly scientifically realistic but it’s a fantasy world so i can do what i want

aaaaaaaand that’s basically my headcanons?? asura don’t differ much physically at all and as a result are culturally lax about gender cus like if you’re all nearly the same ((which, humans are too but asura are to an even greater extent)) then like what’s the POINT about gettin uppity about stuff ya??

anyways thx for listenin, feel free to adopt these hcs or use em as insp if you want! (and again I Don’t Care What Anet Has Said About Their Genitalia Or Gender Binary Or Anything, Anet Is Wrong)

[gontagokuhara]

fuck it i just got wifi (this is in reference to my "words fail reads like a suicide note" post that i cant link bc mobile)

also ya this is based entirely on the one (1) time i hammered out my own note so. if its inaccurate w/e thats why. and im gonna skip around w the lyrics some bc i dont have a cut either and i dont wanna totally spam ur dashes

anyways the first lines "i never meant to make it such a mess / i never meant for it to go this far / so i just stand here sorry / searching for something to say" is obviously like. acknowledging how hes a screw up and messes things up which is a key theme in notes, as well as a loss for words (which. song title. obviously) which is more common than u'd might think (at least it was for me). i had no idea what to say

"i never had the perfect girl who somehow could see the good part of me / i never had the dad who stuck it out / no corny jokes or baseball gloves / no mom who just was there cause mom was all she had to be" ignoring the context of the show, this just reads like him mourning his lack of the above 'perfect' girl/dad/mom.

"thats not a worthy explanation / i know there is none / nothing can make sense of all these things ive done" this is like his (or rather lack of) reasoning for what hes going to do, or perhaps the things hes done leading up to writing the note (again, consider the song without the context of the rest of the musical)

"words fail / there is nothing i can say" because how is he to justify what hes going to do? even if hes at this point, hes still hesitating, still considering the consequences; hes at a loss for how to end his interaction with the world, even though thats his endgoal (and who can blame him — its not easy trying to find the the best last words)

"no id rather pretend im something better than these broken parts / pretend im something other than this mess that i am / cause then i dont have to look at it / and no one gets to look at it / no, no one can really see" a lot of my note was...very focused on my own shortcomings and essentially what made me bad, and that same sentiment is very present here.

its obvious evan dislikes himself immensely. he sees himself as being composed of broken pieces, that hes a disaster just waiting to go off. and hes so hyperaware of this, and so afraid of people seeing him for what he thinks he really is. and if he does this, if he takes himself out of the narrative completely, no one can 'really see' him anymore (himself included. he doesnt want to have to live with himself, either)

"cause ive learned to slam on the break / before i even turn the key / before i make the mistake / before i lead with the worst of me" he takes himself out of situations that can potentially damage him before they have a chance to pan out. killing himself would be damage control; keeping himself from making a mistake that 'exposes' who he really is to the whole world

"what if everyone saw? / what if everyone knew? / would they like what they saw / or would they hate it too?" this fear of having his brokenness on display is here again, which is ironic considering (disregarding the actual context of the song and instead focusing on the note impression) if he were to kill himself, it would show how 'broken' and 'messed up' he was.

"all i ever do is run / so how can i step into the sun?" people consider suicide (whether rightly or not) a way of running from ones problems. we know evan is something of a coward in how hes shown himself to run from his issues, and killing himself would be a final act displaying this. the sun in this instance would be something akin to recovery; and so, if hes such a coward, someone who just runs from his problems and doesnt face them, how can he believe that he'll ever recover? what other option does he have except for this?

im sure this is very jumbled and long but tldr so much of evans dialogue in song can be read as a suicide note, with words fail having the ability to be read as a letter verbatim that has an end result of suicide.

[dracoryss]

I wanted to ask you something, how did you realise that you wanted to study arts and since when you've been drawing? Asking this bc I've never been confident and I always suppressed any kind of way to express myself bc I'm too coward for that.

Okay, this is going to be a bit long.In my country, to get into any university you have to take a test, the PSU test. That the University Selection test, and its kinda of universal, where your max score can be 850 points ( a national score, how we call it). This test, are actually four tests, two of them mandatory, the third one is up to the career you want to join and the university you want to join. (The mandatory being Maths and Spanish, the other two History and Science)I had een unsure of what I wanted to do, for many years my options were neuro science related, and by my last year of high school, just months priors the PSU, i decided I wanted to study forensic psychology. But since you first take the test, and then, a month after it with your results, you have 48 hours to apply to all the univertities you are interested online, you can totally change yout mind at last minute.When I did took the PSU, my goal remained being psychology. Until of course, I had some sort of revelation (This revelation, was heavily influenced by Les mis fics, idk why) where I realised i wanted to do art. I was not sure what kind of art, I wanted to do arts. Ofc, I was unsure af, because I live in a country where theres a lot of people that have no idea that Art is an actual career, where people think that you just can be an art teacher and not an artist, etc. Art is not really a thing in Chile. I was afraid I could not make a living out of Arts. Im still insure of it, but i feel kinda better about it now.Now, the answer as how I came to this realisation, is in total relation of  for how long I’ve been drawing. Theres two ways to answer the how long, or since when. I’ve always been drawing. All my life. It is something that I’ve enjoyed since always. But! I havent drawn that much. I used to draw a lot when little. Then again when i was 12, but never with the idea of improving, just for fun. Then, around 12-14 I realised I coud be better. I would try, get frustated, and then, I would not draw for months. And so on, for years. Could I draw better than my classmates that werent interested in art? Yes. Was I actually good at it? No. Actually, it always come as a rather difficult task. I still find it very hard. I still struggle with my lines, La línea no perdona. But you have to understand something about drawing; to draw is to think, is to see, is to observe. The skill is on the mind, not on the hand.Then again, If you ask me, since when I’ve been drawing, as thinkng, seeing, observing, about a conscious drawing? Since just a couple of years ago. Maybe a bit before joining my career. Then it comes the thing about realisation. When I started being conscious as what I wanted to draw, I started to get better, and i wanted to get better. I wanted to keep doing it, and it was probably the only thing in my life that had become a constant without effort, and that i was really sure. I wanted to keep drawing and get better, with no real deep goal shit. The answer of what I wanted to draw it could easily be gay dudes on 2d, or could have been a really intrincate concept, but that doesnt matter, what it mattered is that I wanted to keep improving.To be honest, I dont know if any of this had to do with confidence, because I, at least, dont feel confident about my art or my drawings. But it has to do with expresing youself. I say, friend, dont be afraid of trying, of trying really hard, getting out of the safe zone is one of the best thing you can do. You have to express youself in one way or another or you are gonna be unhappy. Theres no need to make of this expression fo yourself a career as Im trying, it can always be a hobby, or something you keep for youself, but you have to try it. The worst that can happen? You wont like it. Thats it, but you are going to grow with every step you give even if its in a bad direction.Im sorry this got sooo long, but I hope this can help. (:

P5R Liveblog (15/?)

School festival!

This is such a bad idea.

I really do think they should 1) invite Akechi, as the vote called for, through legitimate means (aka via Sae or potentially through me since, y'know. we hang out. We have a social link. I don't remember if I have his contact info but I think I remember seeing that brown square at some point so I think I do even if he usually doesn't contact me.

That said.

I also think that if we wanted to get Intel from him, as Phantom Thieves responding to his broadcast, we should 100% do an Alibaba and contact him that way. Why are we not doing that. WHY ARE WE NOT DOING THAT????

YOU REALLY DONT NEED HIM TO DO IT PLEASE JUST ALIBABA HIM

Also, thank you for recognizing that I have his chat id, game

This is a lot to put on Makoto. Can't we at least brainstorm it a little bit to ease the pressure?

YOSHIZAWA THANK GOD IVE BEEN WAITING TO HEAR FROM YOU HOW ARE YOU DO YOU STILL TRUST ME

It seems like she's worried about my well-being; that's good...

Oh man can I hang out with her at the festival please

It's kind of funny; I've only ever managed to hang out with Haru or Ryuji at the festival.

I've dated Hifumi, Makoto, and Haru in my 3 playthroughs of p5. Wait, hold on, I've actually done 4 playthroughs, haven't I. Because I dated Hifumi twice...

The learning at school music is playing but also IS THAT FRIEND FROM COLLEGE SHIBUSAWA BC

Oh. Oh no. False memories, huh...? Now, is that false memory yours or Kasumi's? Atm I'm leaning Yoshizawa bc she's got a lot of weirdness mixed up with her and her circumstances

Man, I'm so annoyed. I was one gaming session away from maxing out my Knowledge and getting the highest grade. Guess I'll have to settle for top 10. It's not like I need the charm, anyway. All I really need at this point is Guts. But I haven't really been hanging out with Takemi or Iwai, so it makes sense. Oh well. At least I can hang out with Hifumi more now.

In my first playthrough of p5, I got through to rank 3 proficiency really quickly, made some tools to quickly bypass Yusuke's thing, and then completely disregarded it afterwards until Haru needed it, and then I prioritized everyone else since I wanted to finish as many people as possible and starting on a stat to start someone new would have sucked. Iirc I did get to rank 2 or 3 with her, enough to get baton pass and maybe something else, but I was very frustrated

...Where was I going with this? Oh well

Shut up, pompous male customer

Hey! I have max knowledge, Sojiro!

Haru is so down at all times to try weird stuff. I love her. She's always up for new experiences

Another reason why she & Yusuke should hang out more

LMAO I love this bit

Yusuke is on top of things as usual. : )

I LOVE YUSUKE WITH MY ENTIRE HEART

YUSUKE THIS ISNT HOW YOU TALK TO PEOPLE

SDJDJDJSJ I LOVE HIM SO MUCH

Oh, this is an extremely interesting counseling session, actually.

"However, if you are the one leading them to their conclusions, are they truly making the choices for themselves? Isn't that just submitting to another person's will?"

"In all honesty, I'm sure there are people out there who think that... But life in this world confines people to certain frames of mind sometimes, and without them even realizing it. If I can help lift the weight off their shoulders and free their minds, I believe the results are worth it."

Fascinating.

"I would wish... For the world to see my mother's painting the masterpiece that it is, no matter how briefly." ...Yusuke...!

Reblog if you crey every tiem

"And if at all possible, I would also wish to meet a wonderful master - one who would take me in and guide my brush with care." YUSUKE...! TAT

JESUS I remember playing this part for the first time. my heart was pounding. I could barely tear my eyes away from the screen I was so nervous like what was gonna happen?!

The tension is still high even after the fifth time seeing this scene but damn that first time was something special

I wonder how he scheduled that phone call

All right, Pancakes.

It's weird seeing the PE Faculty office from this angle

Now THIS was an interesting bit

...wow, nobody invited me to the post-festival party. Not even Haru... I'll have to look up how that works later

Hey, it's Kasumi! Hmm. Maybe it's just that the default changed from Haru to Kasumi.

Kinda sucks for Haru, though. Now we get even less content of her so far. I thought the talk after the festival was actually very interesting stuff for learning about her character.

AHH SHE LITERALLY DRAGGED ME SHES SO NEAT

Members of the dance club? Um. Okay? This is new

IT'S SHOWTIME

...and he just stands there. Dammit

WAIT I TAKE THAT BACK I LOVE HIM

This is such a high school genre thing

Those shoes look really uncomfortable to dance like that in

YES DO IT YOU COWARD

ATLUS YOU COWARDS

Dating this girl would be a tragedy dating this girl would be tragic dating this girl c'mon she's dead you know she's dead and will disappear probably when you break the illusion come on don't do it you know it's a bad idea

But what if I dated her in this playthrough

Hmm? Now they're giving me the option to go to the post-festival party? But I just went? Huh?

HOO BOY

I know that this is an optional event, but damn if I didn't wish it started a whole new subset of rumors

IM SORRY FOR EMBARRASSING YOU

I wonder if you can hang out with Futaba at the festival. That'd be nice

The dissonance between Morgana being like 'we should tell the others about Boss!' And 'nah we'll hold off on telling them about Kasumi' is kinda getting to me.

God, this all happened in one day. What an emotional rollercoaster for our Thieves.
