⤠Mystery | Akechi Goro
Warnings: Yandere Akechi, stalking, harassment, manipulation, gaslighting, breaking and entering, belittling of MC, delusions of grandeur from Akechi, etc. Ask to tag!
Includes: GN! Reader, college aged Akechi and MC, hints at the data-mined ending for P5R so technically not canon complacent, MC is paranoid and is gaslighted like crazy <3
A/N: Commissioned by a lovely anon for "Fics for Gaza"! Thank you for being so patient with me (TT); link to the og post and their blog @ficsforgaza in case you want to check it out! Mister Goro âMansplain, Manipulate, Manslaughterâ Akechi strikes againâŚ
After years of working as a detective, Akechi knew how to avoid being caught.
â âDear detective,â the letters heâd pen always began the same way.
With a pristine pair of gloves and a printed-out note, no trace of his handwriting or fingerprints would be detected no matter how hard you tried to find them. He made sure to use common stationery, the type that could be found in any store purely to make it harder for you to trace back to him. He hopes you appreciate the effort heâs put into this little game he was playing with you.
The clues he did give you, which he did because there was no fun to be had if you werenât at least suspicious that he was the anonymous sender, were calculated as if to taunt you just enough to confirm his identity to you but vague enough that you couldnât reasonably go to anyone else to accuse him without losing respectability and keeping your reputation of a sensible investigator.
â â[âŚ] but, if you want me to give you a clue you can just ask. Iâd much rather you be on the right track, Iâd truly be offended if you confused me with some idiot on the street.âÂ
It was a balancing act that would have been tiring to most, but to him, it was nothing short of intoxicating. After a lifetime of being forced to put on an act, it felt nice to have an outlet where he could let out all his pent-up emotions, especially when it came to you.
He knew you well enough, the last few years of his time as a celebrity had been spent working exclusively alongside you. It was hard for him to find someone suitable enough to share the spotlight with. He enjoyed your presence enough that he didnât want to go through the process of checking if there was anyone better, though he sincerely doubted that was true; he knew you better than you knew yourself and he had long since decided you were staying by his side as his assistant. Thatâs how he knew that he was driving you crazy and that, soon enough, youâd reach your breaking point; he was looking forward to it.
â âHave you considered quitting? It looks like youâre not doing too well these days, maybe the stress is catching up to you.â
What he was doing was undoubtedly cruel, but Akechi thought he was more than justified in his actions; you would probably hold it against him at first but, in the long run, youâd realize he was right. He was certain his therapist would scold him and tell him he was undoing all of his work, but the man knew you better than anyone; he was doing you a favor by helping you resign.
You were not made for this line of work; if he couldnât handle it, why should you?Â
You two had been working together for years before he quit the limelight, he was annoyed to no end to have to stand next to you, there was no doubt in his mind he was better than you, and he was right, but soon enough he grew to tolerate your presence and even enjoy it.
You were honest and barely held your tongue when it came to him, from the beginning you had stood out as someone who truly enjoyed their position. He canât understate how deeply he resented you at first, he found your attitude annoying and pretentious but soon learned that you genuinely did mean it when you said you were doing this for yourself â he hated that, and for a while, his feeling only doubled down onto the negatives but soon enough he grew to appreciate your honesty and a friendship began to blossom. You grew to become one of the only people Akechi thought highly of, even if he didnât truly enjoy his work as a celebrity being by your side made it tolerable. It was something he realized after working with his doctor; he cared for you, even if heâd denied it at first, you were someone he treasured deeply and he didnât want to see you get hurt the way he had been. Why couldnât you see that?
â âI donât enjoy seeing you so miserable, detective, your fans probably donât like it much eitherâŚâ
You were talented, no doubt about it, but you had always been second best to himself, and thatâs how it would forever be. Everything you did was compared and eventually overshadowed by his accomplishments, you could solve a case in a day and heâd come and do it in half. Everything you could do, he could do better; way better, in fact, so much better people often forgot youâd done it first or at all.
You werenât bad or stupid, far from it, he wouldnât have allowed himself to be on stage with just anybody, but if he was Sherlock, solving the big cases and taking the spotlight, you were Watson, destined to sit back and assist him - only ever getting the spotlight when he wasnât around (though that has proven to not always be the case as even now it is as if you lived in his shadow).
â âI truly donât get why you insist on being a detective when youâre so mediocre at it, seriously, when was the last time you solved a case by yourself? Youâre wasting everyoneâs time.â
It was that very nature of your relationship that had led him to believe that, when he eventually left the role of detective for something that he would actually enjoy, you would follow him. After all, all of your teenage years had been spent together, working in tandem, why would he expect you to turn your back on him and the life you two had known for superficial stardom? You always spoke of helping others and he had found a way to do it in a truly significant way that allowed you two to be free and live honestly, away from the media.
Akechiâs time working on the Phantom Thievesâ case had given him new insight into the life he had led up until that point, as much as he wished he didnât have to credit them with much - the months after they had disbanded had left him rethinking his choices. To you, and by proxy anyone outside of himself, his therapist, and Ren, his decision would have seemed sudden and maybe even brash; but he thought that, once you heard him out, you would join him.
Sure, the relationship between you two was friendly, years of knowing each other and working together had left you two with a great friendship, but it was nowhere near close enough to make you pack up and leave everything you had worked for behind because he had a sudden realization. At least, you would think thatâd be clear to him but alas it wasnât. He had constructed an image of you, but for all of his smarts, it was too incomplete to truly understand you.
â âWhen will you go to the authorities about me? [âŚ] Is it a lack of clues? If you leave it to the professionals I am certain theyâll do a better job trying to track me; even Iâm getting tired of this.âÂ
He had been blindsided by his ego and forgotten that you were just as complex as he was, that simply because he had realized this life was not for him it didnât mean it wasnât for you. Akechi's understanding of your relationship was tested when you finally broke the news that you and he were fundamentally different people with equally different goals.
He had invited you over for lunch when heâd broken the news, the brunette made sure you were one of the first to know so you could come out together and announce your retirement at the same time. He had been so sure you would agree with him it was almost offensive how predictable he thought you were.
It was a high-end restaurant, you two had come here before during your breaks from work, but it had still shocked you to receive the invitation since it had been some time since you two hung out as friends and not coworkers. The last few months had been filled with work and much self-reflection on his part and soon enough you two had graduated from high school without actually talking to each other outside of work hours or the occasional friendly text. For a long time, Akechi had made it clear you werenât friends and it took you years of knowing each other for him to finally acknowledge how close you two had gotten, but even then you were the one initiating most hangouts; maybe his odd behavior should have been your first clue something was up.
He had sat you down and let you order, making sure to get you comfortable before unloading the news onto you. He was aware you would be surprised at first, but he was certain of todayâs outcome.
âI think itâs time I quit,â he had said after the waiter had brought over your drinks, he took a long sip of his water before continuing, âThis is a waste of time and I see no reason to continue, after⌠everything thatâs happened, I realized Iâm sick of this.â
At the time, you were unsure how he wanted you to react; you werenât angry, a bit surprised and confused, yes, maybe even sad, but you were in no way about to praise his choice and follow in his footsteps.
âI am surprised,â you managed to say, dabbing at your lips with a napkin, the news had shocked you enough you had choked on your drink but you were quick to reassure him before he could make any snide remarks, âBut, if itâs what you want to do, then Iâm happy for youâŚâ
An awkward silence followed your words as if he were waiting for you to say something else. He was not expecting you to agree immediately, you needed to hear him out but he didnât want to look too desperate.
âUm,â you look away, his burgundy eyes were a little too intense, âwhat made you realize you wanted to quit?â
âThere is nothing at the end of this road,â he answered as if he had been expecting you to ask, it felt practiced, âitâs all the same and can we truly say weâre doing something important? All we do is run around, solve peopleâs problems, and get congratulated, but are we really solving their problems? We temporarily give them peace of mind but itâs always a trivial issue that would have been solved with or without us. I donât want to continue wasting my time doing what others want or need me to do for them, Iâm tired of being used⌠I want to do something only I can.â
âI didnât think you saw it like that,â you muttered, you seemed deep in thought at his words, âitâs a new perspective, even for you.â
âI guess so,â Akechi agrees with you, âbut I stand by it, I canât lie to myself and say that what weâre doing is real work or that I enjoy it.â
âI canât say I necessarily agree,â you conclude, you take a sip of your drink and go on to continue your thoughts, âeven if what weâre doing isnât solving their whole lives, itâs something. At the end of the day, if you can lighten their load and inspire them to keep going and working hard, even if itâs over small things that wonât matter in the grand scheme, isnât that better than nothing? If they find strength in seeing celebrities succeed, then thatâs better than being hopeless.â
âSo youâd rather do the bare minimum, hoping you inspire someone rather than being an active participant in change?â
âYou make it sound like Iâm stupid, Akechi,â you eye him wearily, âsure, Iâm not going out there and solving wars, but if my work can inspire people to keep going, letting them know thereâs always a n answer, isnât that encouraging them to work towards the future? If I can inspire someone to help another, thatâs enough for me â change doesnât have to come from direct actions, sometimes itâs a chain reaction.â
âAnd you think you can set it off?â He scoffs, heâs aware he sounds rude but youâre preaching nonsense as far as he can tell and heâs never been fond of unrealistic optimism.
âAre you implying I canât?âÂ
âI just donât think you have what it takes, I donât think anyone has what it takes, to hope someone sees you and is inspired into action is too reckless â you may as well print a poster and call it a day,â he glares at you, seemingly annoyed at your naĂŻvetĂŠ, âif you want to make a real change, you canât be tied down to fantasies.â
âSo what am I supposed to do, quit?â You ask flabbergasted and feeling insulted, youâre well aware that your work isnât the pinnacle of hard labor but youâve given your all to get to a place where you can at least show people that thereâs a future where justice can exist.
âI think so,â you are shocked, âI think youâd do much better elsewhere rather than wasting your time, become a real detective or even a damn lawyer; we canât play pretend forever.â
To you, the rest of the conversation was a blur; you only remember leaving early and feeling as if heâd spent the last hour discrediting everything you had done while trying to convince you to quit and do God knows what heâd try to rope you into.
The only thing you can say with confidence that he said to you had left you feeling small and disappointed, as if he had confirmed your biggest fear; that you would always be second best:
âIf I couldnât do it, what makes you think you can?â
He genuinely did mean it too, you could tell from the way he seemed honestly surprised you thought you could outlive his career. You think he tried to assure you he didnât think you were stupid, something about how heâd poured all of himself into the role and couldnât accomplish his goal and how he was hoping youâd realize that it was impossible before you were burnt out too, but all you can remember is the way he looked at you as if you were a stupid child having your ABCâs explained to them.
Akechi realizes now, months later and after a lot of self-reflection, that his approach was inadequate and that, in the long term, it had done more damage than good. Alas, time cannot be turned back; if he wasnât able to talk you out of it, then heâd have to show you that you were wasting your time.
Between you two, he had always been the better one; so why would you be the one it works out for? If he couldnât do it, then you certainly canât either.
Thatâs why his first note was an apology, his first clue to you.Â
â âI am simply an admirer of your work, even if there are many flaws in itâŚâ
The idea of anonymous letters had come to him when reminiscing back on his time following Amemiya and his gang, the warning notes theyâd give out to their targets that would taunt them and leave them skittish, wondering if it was a joke or not and worrying about the absurd possibility there was merit to their threats. In his case, he needed to play things out differently; he didnât want to make you suffer, he truly wanted to make you see the situation the way he did â the correct way if you will.
And so, for the last year, you have been receiving his notes.Â
You had told no one about them, too embarrassed to admit you were being affected by them and too proud to ask for help. After all, what would you say? People would probably tell you to figure it out yourself,
you were supposed to be a detective after all; how come you couldnât find the identity of your stalker?
â â[âŚ] Do you actually think youâve caught me? You just fired a makeup artist for no reason, if you keep acting irrationally youâll get a reputation; I suggest thinking more about who you accuse next time. People will get suspicious if you start acting so⌠erratically.â
Though youâre almost certain you do know who it is, itâs been near impossible to find any tangible proof that you could take to the authorities. You were struggling and Akechi knew. It was only a matter of time before you were forced to come to terms that you simply didnât have what it took to succeed, Akechi tried telling you in a nicer way but you just didnât listen. If you canât even catch him, a man youâve known for years, what makes you think youâll catch a real criminal? You had known him for years and hadnât caught onto his most dangerous actions, a bunch of letters wasnât going to be any easier for you.
Itâs surprising to both of you how long you put off calling him. You were almost completely sure he was the one behind the letters, heâd been so nice â as he would say, even if you donât agree â to leave clues, but stalling the inevitable was more of an ego thing on your part. From mentioning things you had told him in private, recalling moments that should have been between the two of you alone, it almost feels like he had documented everything; and yet he didnât leave DNA or even a single fingerprint, everything he used was so carefully picked out you had no way of tracing it back to him.
You didnât know what heâd say, maybe heâd laugh at you and scold you for taking almost a year to realize or maybe heâd try to deny it and make you feel stupid for even suspecting him. Akechi always had a way with words, especially the closer you two got, that made you feel smaller in comparison to him. But at this point you didnât care, heâd been taunting you for months and you were at your limit.
â âYou havenât been sleeping well, I see you frequenting that cafe more often; itâs not healthy.âÂ
You would find his handiwork everywhere you went; outside of your house, near spots youâd often frequent, and sometimes youâd find them in places you had been to only hours before as if he were watching you and waiting to strike.
They were always so long too, Akechi had no qualms in explaining in great detail every single misstep youâd made, for their almost daily frequency you had to admit he was dedicated to an over six hundred word count. It would have been impressive if it wasnât so creepy.
To be honest, you probably would have lived through it for a while longer if he hadnât crossed the line even further; youâd found one of his notes inside your house.
As of the last few weeks you had been going above and beyond trying to catch him, he had been right; your work had been suffering greatly due to the stress of finding his stupid notes all around you. You had seen the headlines, wondering what had happened â some discrediting your lifeâs work, others lamenting your decline in quality, others simply attributing your achievements to him of all people. He was proving his point and it annoyed you to no end.
You barely got any sleep as you desperately combed over the letters, everything that pointed to him was circumstantial and would not serve to prove anything to anyone, much less the authorities. You both knew that it was only a matter of time before it became too much.
You had to take a break, eventually going into hiding and hyper-focusing on trying to find any concrete evidence. At this point, those letters were all you thought about from the moment you woke up to the moment you fell asleep. And he still had the audacity to taunt you, leaving his handiwork outside your doorstep every day to remind you of why you were isolated at home at all times.
â âDoes this not feel a little pathetic, detective?â
You had been toying around with the idea of confronting him, giving in and forgoing your pride and just begging him to stop. You hadnât seen him in a year and after your last conversation you had no real intention of trying to mend any bridges but you needed to know if it was him as you so desperately believed or if you really were going crazy.
For a moment you thought you were dreaming when you woke up to one of his scarlet envelopes sitting on top of your nightstand; you immediately recognized it. You almost donât believe it even as you peel the seal away and unravel the note, but itâs one of them â it couldnât be from anybody else. No one knew of them other than you and the sender.
You basically jump out of your bed and scramble to get your phone, too emotional to even spare it a once over, your hands are shaking with frustration - you feel flustered and annoyed, and you swear to whatever is listening to you that if the brunette didnât answer your call you would drive over and make the most embarrassing scene you could muster. Akechi was currently attending university and you were more than willing to go to his campus or even his place, in public surrounded by strangers or not, and demand he give you answers. If it wasnât him, then you had no idea who it could be and you didnât know what scared you more.
The way he wrote, the way he teased you, the way he seemed to always be a step ahead of you, it all screamed Akechi. His condescending tone from that dinner echoed in his words even if only written; why did you get to live out your childhood dream if he could not? What had you done that he hadnât? What did you have that he didnât that make you better than him? He didnât want to be a celebrity detective, but he was better at it, so why would you - someone worse than him - get to continue?
From every possible angle, Akechi Goro was better than you, and yet, for some reason, you were the one advancing in their career, you were the one the public began to favor over himself; seeing you live the life he had given up better than he had pissed him off. He thought you were friends, maybe even closer than that, you were partners â the only other person in the world who knew the isolation and expectations that came with stardom â and yet you abandoned him for the very thing he despised.
Heâs still pleasantly surprised to see your caller ID flashing on his phone, though Akechi knew you to be stubborn and a part of him was hoping youâd be able to withstand his teasing a little more â especially now that he knew how to sneak into your home â, he had been expecting a call from you. He almost felt bad when he picked up and heard your clearly panicked voice.
Almost; this whole ordeal was too fun for him to feel too badly about his actions.
âAkechi,â you try not to show how disturbed you are in case your hunch was right, âwe need to talk, now.â
âHello to you too,â he ignores the sense of urgency in your words, âarenât you going to ask me how Iâve been? Itâs been a while since we last talked.â
âAnd you know why that is,â you scoff, âI didnât need you to continue telling me I suck at my job and that I should quit because you were illuminated by the heavens.â
âIt was one conversation,â you canât see it from over the phone but his reddish eyes seem to gleam in delight, he lets out an airy laugh, âand you cut me off before we could see eye to eye, you make me sound like some sort of evil lunatic.â
âYeah right,â you roll your eyes, unconsciously clutching at the red envelope in your hands - his degrading demeanor only serves to further antagonize him in your eyes, âletâs cut to the chase, what have you been doing lately.â
âAnd what is it to you?â He laughs, sitting down on his couch as he answers your question, âIf you need to know, Iâve been taking a break.â
âGot a lot of free time on your hands now?â But was it enough that he could be pulling this off? Even without work, heâd been studious and hard working, his schedule always packed; would it be possible that a workaholic like him could honestly take a break?
âNot really,â of course not â your heart feels like it had stopped, maybe youâd been wrong â, âIâve been in therapy and working on getting into some real work, between that and keeping up with new hobbies thereâs not much spare time.â
âHobbies?â
âYes, like writing,â you wouldnât have pinned him as a writer, âI thought I could do something with all that mystery experience and write a novel, might as well put that work to use.â
âI guess soâŚâ Thereâs an awkward silence; heâd been incredibly nonchalant during the conversation, answering all of your questions with ease.Â
Maybe you had been wrong about him, but if itâs not him then who
âAnd what have you been up to? I saw you were taking a break.â
âOh, uh⌠yeah,â you didnât think heâd keep up with your public appearances, âI have been dealing with some personal stuffâŚâ
You both donât speak after that for a few painfully awkward seconds.
âSo youâve been in therapy?â
âYes.â
âThatâs⌠good.â Akechi has to muffle a chuckle at your inadequate response.
âNo offense, I do enjoy conversing with you but I doubt this is what you meant when you said we needed to talk,â the young man halts your train of thought, âso, why did you call me?â
âBecause,â you think about your words, you need to at least ask him about it, you donât want to sound crazy but there is no way you can breach the topic without sounding slightly off, âyou⌠itâs you, isn't it?â
âMe? Youâre not making much sense, I am what?âÂ
âYouâre the one sending me these⌠letters,â you look at the one in your hand, âitâs got âAkechiâ written all over⌠You know all these personal details and how to get under my skin and who else would be able to sneak in undetected into my room and keep this up for so long? You ââ
âSomeone snuck into your house?â He feigns surprise, cutting you off mid-rant; he can tell it took you off guard.
âY-yes,â you mumble, unsure if he was trying to fool you; you had no evidence other than a gut feeling and knowing the guy for years, âand it⌠it has to be you, thereâs no way it isnât⌠Youâre the only person who could pull this ââ
âThese are quite serious allegations youâre posing now,â his voice slowly loses its playful tone, âbreaking and entering, sending letters too⌠Do you even have any evidence?â
âMaybe I doâŚâ You stutter out.
âA good detective shouldnât lie,â he smirks over the phone, your fingers are trembling as he continues talking, âYou canât just call me out of the blue and accuse me of such things, we havenât talked to each other in months and this is the first thing you say to me?â
âThe letters mention things only you would know and itâs all so well done,â why canât you be more coherent â you want to tell him to shut up so you can finish your train of thought; because if itâs not him then who else, âand youâve been trying to convince me ââ
âI havenât even talked to you in months, how am I trying to convince you of anything?â
âDuring that lunch, you said ââ
âCome on, it was one conversation and I admit I crossed the line,â he doesnât let you finish talking before rebutting every single thing you said and itâs starting to rile you up, âbut thatâs not proof.â
Thereâs an awkward silence that follows, he can tell youâre getting worked up. Youâre panicking, you had spent the last few weeks trying to find any possible clue about Akeshiâs involvement in this mess and yet you had come up with nothing of substance.
âThis has really been messing you up, hasnât it?â His voice is deceptively soft as if he cared about the torment youâd been facing.
âIâŚâ Youâre unsure of what to say; you had so many things thought of what to say to him, but it had all been under the pretense that he was the one responsible for what was going on but you had nothing on him other than a hunch and bitter feelings from your last conversation.Â
âI have been keeping up with your work,â he takes your silence as an invitation to continue talking, âYouâre not doing too hot, huh? Is it because of this?â
â...â He can hear you shuffling.
âIf youâre struggling, we can meet up,â he suggests, âI could help you, you know?â
âTo quit?â You laugh but there is no humor in it; maybe he had been right, you dully think, after heâd left youâd naturally garnered the support he had once had but it had felt undeserved, your work had been stagnating due to the letters and general feelings of inadequacy as you were made to replace the role Akechi once had.
âTo help you with the letters,â he sounds legitimately annoyed and you flinch internally, âClearly you canât do it yourself, how long has it been going on for?â
âA couple of monthsâŚâ You trail off, you feel like a child being scolded by their mother; left to desperately scramble for any excuse for your poor behavior.Â
âMonths, are you actually being serious right now?â He doesnât give you the time to respond, you can hear him shuffling, âAnd you havenât found anything?â
âNot really,â you gulp, âwhich is why⌠I thought it could be you.â
âIâm quite hurt youâd think me capable of that,â you canât make out what he was feeling based on his tone but his words seem to indicate he was truly shocked at your accusations; guilt begins to form in your gut, âsure, our last conversation was⌠rough, but I would never dare hurt you, I only want to help.â
His words further cement your feelings of guilt, maybe youâd seriously misjudged him. No, you definitely had; in your years of knowing him heâd been condescending and irritable, but heâd never hurt you. You were the one whoâd been overreacting, you had stormed off on him, you had cut him off, you had accused him without evidence and even now, as he offered to help you, you couldnât help but doubt his words.
âBut you,â scrambling to find the right words you desperately try to communicate your concerns but the more you finally voice them to someone the less sure you are about them, âif itâs not you, then who? You⌠youâre the only one who I wouldnât catch, right? BecauseâŚâ
Maybe he had been right, you think, ever since he quit youâd been left trying to live up to the legacy he left behind but you had failed. Youâd let yourself become overwhelmed, chasing after a dream you simply didnât have the chops to live out, and even went as far as to accuse one of your friends of hurting you over a conversation that he seemed to have forgotten.
âI have not received a single assignment that has required me to harass my ex-colleague,â heâs probably referencing his therapy treatment, you think, âI have come far enough to realize I have been childish in my past, which is why I would never do something like sending you cleary distressing notes.â
He continues.
âI am genuinely concerned for you,â he sighs, âwhich is why I am offering to help you.â
âIâŚâ Youâre unsure of what to say, you had been hoping heâd admit to being the man behind the letters, âI just want this to end.â
âIâll go over, okay?â You vaguely hear him moving around, âHave everything ready, weâll work this out and, once weâre done, we can talk about your future.â
You hum in agreement, too worn out and exhausted to argue.
âIâll see you soon,â heâs putting on his gloves as he speaks and slowly opening the bag heâd been carrying, âgoodbye.â
âByeâŚâ
Once the call is ended you throw your phone into the bed and collapse on top of your mattress. You close your eyes tightly, clutching at the papers in your hand. You had shoved the letter back in before reading it, you opened your eyes slowly and glanced at it. You sit up, the springs in the mattress mask the sound of a creaking door and reopen the envelope.
The letter was like all the ones before it, teasing remarks, poorly covered insults, and the spare compliment sprinkled in there. Your brain doesnât even register what it says, too used to its content to care. Youâre about to put it back in when you notice a strange discoloration on the back, you frown. Gently you move the paper against the yellow light from your bedside lamp. The letters are smaller, significantly more rushed, and harder to decipher; you fidget with it as you begin to make out what it says; at least, you try until you hear footsteps echoing through your hallway. You freeze, seemingly losing all mobility as they begin to draw closer and closer until theyâre practically at your bedroomâs door.Â
There is someone in your house, you realize.
Gloved hands grasp at the doorknob and all you can do is watch in horror as a tuft of light brown hair comes into view.
â âIâm still inside.â

More I think on it, I like the transmasc Ren/Akira interpretation. I feel it can explain a lot of his discomfort in his body and the way he wants to present along with how his parents show a lack of care towards him and his wellbeing.
His 'Joker' side being like an ideal masc hero he strives to be, hence his pure euphoria and enjoyment in the metaverse. It also parallels with Akechi in how he struggles with his own body and image of himself. Transmasc Ren just brings me a lot of comfort, so I like the interpretation. It also adds a lot of depth to his struggles with society and his motive as a phantom thief he wishes society rewarded individuality and people like him could be themselves without judgement.

man.
#watched a video about depiction of queerness in the persona series and it tangentially reminded me of how insane (derogatory) p5 is#one of the first arcs is about a female main character getting the teacher who sexually harassed her to face the consequences of his action#rest of the game proceeds to sexualize her and the male mc has the option to romance a grown ass adult woman#I'm only familiar with p5r btw but generally from what I know persona Is A Game Series. its so dark in here.

Not to upset anyone is any of the main protagonists gay?
I'm gonna assume you meant in the persona series due to my account pic, Lol.
Altus started dating mechanics in P3 first. All of the main protagonists from 4 and 5 aren't gay because you can only romance females. Is the same if you were to include the Femc route in p3p, She also only dates males, suggesting the protagonists is straight.
As for 1, and 2 they didn't have the dating mechanism. I believe one group member was bisexual in fell in love with the protagonist I forgot which game though, I don't know the full details, but maybe someone else can give you more on that. The evidence suggestive that all of the male characters from 3 to 5 are canonical straight.
But hey, don't feel like you are upsetting anyone because you have a question about gay ships. You can always direct your answer to me if you feel like people are going to attack you.

Atlus please give us the only spin off we actually want which is the Persona 5 male personas in a Senran Kagura type game with lots of male fanservice.

Another new timeline possibility
Ok ok ok ummm.......what if....P5/R aren't on the same timeline as P3/4 (and P2EP)? What if......they are pulling a Pokemon and P5/R is on.....like....a "mega evolution" timeline??? Like here's the Pokemon Mega evolution timeline:
WHAT IF Persona is doing this???? Wasn't it said that P3R is kind of a testing grounds for future projects? What if......my previous timelines where were like these (oldest to new: x, x, x, x). But instead like....one of these:
Option 1:
Option 2:
Option 3:
I was just going to go with Option 2, but then I remembered P3D.....So I made a few variations (I'm partial to 2 and 3 tbh). Also ignore where P5T falls on there. Probs between P5D and P5S but that doesn't matter atm, we're focused on P3R and what it might mean. P5X also got leaked that it's possibly an alt universe so throwing that in there just in case. (that being said, if P5T was set in a what if P5 timeline like that one interview indicated then......then does that mean P3R and P5T are set in the same timeline....wait shit that'd be funny since I fever dreamed guessed this last year hahaha let's hope I'm wrong...moving on for serious).
With P3R possibly being a testing grounds for future projects....it's made me wonder.....what if the P1-4 refs in P5 weren't....the ones we've actually played, but versions of games we've yet to play? Aka P3R? 030
I mean....PQ2 proved that it's possible for games in different universes and/or not on the same timeline/continuity to interact with each other (P3 vs P3P) all at once, what if there were actually 3 (P3/4 vs P3P vs P5) diff timelines interacting rather than just 2 (P3/4/5 vs P3P) in PQ2? Of course, with the lack of the new outfits, I'm thinking Q2/P3D (and P5R cognitions) are def of the OG timeline.
BUT there's also P5X, and if P5X being a diff continuity is correct....and since you can summon other Persona chars (namely the og PT) to P5X as cognition helpers.....even tho they are from a diff timeline. It's possible that just because P3/4MC appear as cognition battle bosses in P5R in their OG forms, it doesn't mean that they share P5R's timeline but instead are based in the OG timeline (because cognitions can cross timelines and universes).
Of course maybe that's the case, but it's for P5X instead being on the same timeline as P3R.....I like to keep my possibilities open. :3c
So yeah, I dunno if they are making a new "R" timeline or not. But if they are...............well....guess we'll see what happens. 8U
#persona 3 reload#p3r#yeah i'm including the pre p5 released timeline#i don't think i published the twitter on here (it was when we thought P5T might not be part of the main p5 timline)#P5 on P3P's timeline is also a possibility i've considered but I don't want to make the P3R argument more convoluted so we'll just....#....continue with male p3 timeline instead#esp considering his cognition is in P5R and P5MC has interacted w/him in Q2 and P3D#so IF q2 is just 2 timlines it is more likely to be p3/4/5 vs p3p than p3/4 vs p3p/5
