so happy u enjoy beneath the mask... it means so much to me thst the song is leblanc's theme aaaaggggqgdfwhd (redacted akc+ akiren+shuakeism screams) i think.U also said no more what ifs was one of ur fav game themes at one point.Im so Normal abt ur tastes Ohhhmygof (LOUDER REDACTED SCREAMIGN(

Really Fucking Curious for your reaction to.Our Light. And the translations of the lyrics.... i am Tje Normalest ever ab that song Yep Yes Haha ha aa a

i enjoy it so fucking much dude oh my god... it's so. ahh. it's so important that it's leblanc's theme!!!! & also it's so important to me (cityguy) that it's the broader tokyo-at-night theme... it's such a warm piece of music it's so comforting despite the fucking lyrics. something really compelling 2 me about the instrumental version being the daytime theme + this being the night theme, u know? something about truths that can only come out at home in the dark or something.

& like. no more what ifs mirrors beneath the mask so heavily!!!!!! i'm dogshit at music theory i never have the patience for it but the instrumentation w/ the mellow synth & bass + lyn's vocal delivery is so so obviously the same for the both of them. the little synth improv riffs. not even fucking getting into the lyric parallels. (where have you been? / people come and they go... i'm a shapeshifter-- what else should i be? / i never really doubted myself, but tonight's got me thinking about it all... will it unleash me? burning down the walls? / someone once said burn my dread, babe, etc etc etc) ouuhhghgh.h shuake........ akechi my fucking miserable little guy. if i think about no more what ifs for too long my brain starts to tremble & explode!!!!!

& EYES EMOJI. ive been trying very hard to avoid listening 2 any of the ost that i haven't encountered in-game so far.. that counts as a spoiler 2 me!! but im VERY excited 2 here this one whenever it comes up... im sure i will get back 2 u ab it hsfhdgdfkgkf

Todays rip: 03/02/2024

Take You To The Desert

Season 3 Featured on: SiIvaGunner's Highest Quality Rips Volume A

Ripped by Chaze the Chat

Hi, so, uh, full disclaimer - I HAD a post almost done and ready to go for today (or TONIGHT, rather), but then I got very distracted by watching the amazing YouTube premiere of the MAGFest Rave, had the fucking time of my life screaming my head off in the SiIvaGunner Discord, and now I've suddenly been informed that I've almost missed Sean Kingston's birthday! Sean Kingston! You know the guy - from Crazy Noisy Beautiful Girls, from Beautiful! ~ Curveball of Sean Kingston, from the 11th episode of the SiIvaGunner Christmas Comeback Crisis? Yet for all that I've talked about him in those two posts, it still kind of feels like I've only barely scratched the surface - and with the scoops I only just got from SiIvaCord, I felt basically forced to properly honor Kingston's legacy today.

Before his unfortunate and absolutely-real-no-kidding Jetski accident, Sean Kingston made waves in the late 2000s with his breakout single Beautiful Girls - the kind of song that you only SOMEWHAT become annoyed by from its overexposure on the radio. After team member turdl3 of Hoopache fame singled it out as his number-one most disliked pop song of the 2000s, the SiIvaGunner team did what they did best and decided to turn that distaste into a running joke, posting more and more Kingston as part of the bit - before it reached Chaze the Chat's ears.

I can't help but assume that there was some sort of neural overlap across ´his prior obsession with Maroon 5 and Sean Kingston, but Chaze the Chat reportedly wound becoming absolutely obsessed with posting about the song and its various follow-ups. Did you know he made three separate mashup albums dedicated to shitposting about the guy?

Its something I've talked about in many Maroon 5-themed posts on here such as Sunday Morning, but even when I'm not able to be in on the joke there's just something so endearing about seeing rips be made out of such strangely specific yet evidently passionate interests - which, in turn, brings us to Season 3's Sean Kingston Day, and Take You To The Desert. Turdl3 was reportedly not alone in disliking Beautiful Girls, and the song had effectively no presence on SiIvaGunner whatsoever in its first two years of running - yet somehow, Sean Kingston Day got to occur, and the sheer shock of it all has stuck with me since even back when. It wasn't something absurdly random like Chain of Memories II Day back with Simple and Clean (Psi Mix), nor was it seemingly part of any ongoing lore developments, nor did it feel like a long-running joke on the channel that I'd simply failed to be invited to - everyone else in the YouTube comments were just as befuddled as I was as to what led to the sudden takeover. Hell, I hadn't even *heard* Beautiful Girls until that day!

And yet, I fucking loved it.

From an honest point of view, Take You To The Desert is a pretty simple mashup between two already-good songs. Yet with all that context of Sean Kingston's presence on the channel, his development as a borderline forced inside joke and sudden takeover for a day, and most importantly Chaze the Chat's bizarre affection for the guy, it turns into something more. Just the simple fact alone that the rip uses Take You There rather than his prior discussed debut single kind of speaks volume to how deep in the trenches Chaze the Chat was in regards to this event - an event that, really, he was the main driving force behind even getting done to begin with. And though it caught us all of guard, I do believe there were many viewers just like me back then - who through the repeated exposure of the day became unironic Sean Kingston enjoyers. And hey - Beautiful! ~ Curveball of Sean Kingston is only one of the many dozens of rips made since Sean Kingston day to continue upholding the Kingston legacy, even as the hype around the in-joke as completely passed

Bizarre, catchy, ironic, unironic, Jetski driver or pop sensation - Sean Kingston is many things, yet for the six years I've known of his existence I've never been able to see him as anything but a SiIvaGunner joke. But when its one that Chaze the Chat believed in so fucking hard, one that gave us absolute bangers like Take You To The Desert, I can't find it in me to see that as a bad thing. Because with or without prior knowledge, the passion of those who ripped his music showed me why it was worth caring about.

Happy Birthday, Sean Kingston.

“Now this is definitely some of my best work. Maybe I’ll try a new color, but what to pick...”

“It’s beautiful... Shiho... I hope you can see the same sky...”

“Oh... This is new. Akechi, have you ever seen the sky look like this before?”

-

Ayo, getting crazy and possessed by demons enough to draw fanart! @svnnnne has an AU that combines Persona 5 and Transistor, and I got silly uwu

There’s a part in the AU that depicts Yusuke painting the sky for Ann after Shiho goes to The Country, and Ren, seeing that same sky, writes a song called “Into the Crystalline Blue.” Yusuke soon gets suspended from painting the sky, but when he goes to his first concert with Ren as the headliner, Into The Crystalline Blue is the first song he ever hears Ren perform. I really like how connected the thieves still are in this AU, even if it seems a little more convoluted because they can’t just All Be Friends like in P5, but they all still find their ways back to each other in the end, one way or another...

(GOT TOO SILLY AND PUT IT ON THE WRONG ACCOUNT WHOOPS- Take these tasteful WIPs as an apology)

oh speaking of music recs i finally got around to making a playlist just for instrumental songs 👀 if you like video game osts and jazz songs (or are interested in listening to more of those) i got just the thing for you.

[noritaro]

persona 5 half off if u wanna... you know.

i never noticed this ask LMFAO

i tend to join fandoms on a whim so unfortunately if i do end up playing P5 well nonnie.... you'll neVER SEE IT COMIIIIIIIIIING YOU'LL SEE THAT MY MIND IS TOO FAST FOR EYES 🗣️🗣️🎵🎵🎵

[sillyfudgemonkeys]

I mean, given that P5D flopped and Atlus stopped making dancing games but kept/keeps on making P5 spinoffs I'm doubtful that Atlus would make tactics games whether P5T does good or bad (plus I feel like its every other time I hear about it I hear a persona fan mentioning they're not a fan of tactics games so it's def not just a thing on this blog)

Hahahaaaaaa......yeah............

Tbf I don't see a REASON for a dancing game atm. That's more of a game to celebrate the music (or throw it in the trash and set it on fire like P5D did, RIP to P5D you shouldn't have come out when you did)

Also tbf PQ2 didn't sell THAT much better (I think the sales were fairly within what Atlus is/was used to tho? only like 20000 less....then again that might've been OLD data I was looking at). And there hasn't been a Q game since....but tbf Atlus isn't popping them out AS FAST as when they were having their P4 era. (we almost got like 3 games in one year? TT0TT god everything was moving so fast in that era)

Probably cause of quality contr-I can't even finish that sentence.

Ahem. Probably cause of scope maybe.........except PQ2 was roughly the same story length as PQ1......or at least ONE SIDE of a PQ1 playthrough (tho some bits of PQ1 did repeat on each side, A LOT didn't). (there's also the fact they released it on a dying/dead console ahhhhhh, unrelated to scope but still TT0TT)

Uhhhh ummmmm, oh! P3/5D! Right- no I notoriously lambast them for CUTTING content that a single P4D could handle. Half the "story" and less songs. (of course this is considering P3D, P5D, and P4D all separate games on their own....which they are....and were sold as...................separate games......full price....games.....)

Ok ok Strikers! Yes Strikers. That had the scope that matched/exceeded Arena/Ultimax.... at least story wise. But....no one talks about Strikers for some reason. I thought y'all where hyped??????? It seemed to have sold well, but I dunno if that means it's liked..... (I have a VERY small sample size, but outside myself, all the people I've talked to IRL said they hated P5S TT0TT)

Wait why am I bringing this up? Maybe it's cause I miss the P4 era. TT0TT ajfksjf;d

Oh! No no, it's that, P5S is like the most successful P5 spinoff imo (didn't look at the sales but I think it might be the best selling Persona spinoff in general)....but we also haven't had a P5S2, or DLC for it (surprisingly/unfortunately), or another Persona game just like it (like P1S or Raidou S or yadda yadda).

That being said.......P5S was made with another company so....yeah...... that could be why jfsdljafdsakj

Unlike P5S, Dancing and Qs are made in house, P5T is too? I haven't been paying attention. TT0TT It could be they are just focused on T and...."Asa"? and P3R and/or something else. So that could explain the lack of another dancing game (or Q). Plus, again, the dancing games are more of a celebration. I can see a P5D2 happening as we get closer to P6 tbh (if not a P3/4/5D PS5+others port). (and I'm sure they are figuring out how to port Q to other places now they don't have the dual screen). I dunno, this part went on longer than I thought @_@ Just woke up and I'm rambly sorry

I mean Atlus has had the chance to do another Tactics game for years with the DeSu franchise, and those aren't even connected/have to be connected in a single timeline! And people are still waiting on 3! TT0TT So yeah I can see them just dropping it orz

(Yeah I've asked others IRL and they weren't exactly excited either TT0TT Tbh as long as I get another version of this artstyle again I'm fine with that, doesn't need to be a Tactics game.)

[arcplaysgames]

this isn't really related to where you are in the game, but if you haven't watched them i'd recommend watching both the original p5 opening cinematic and the new one they made for p5r. they do contain visuals of all your eventual party members so if you consider that spoilery i'd say wait until later to check them out. i watched the original p5 opening every time i booted up the game the first time i played it, i LOVE that song (i enjoy the p5r opening as well but to me both the song and visuals are not as engaging as the original lol). i'm loving your commentary so far (i think your commentary on who is assigned what card for the confidants is especially interesting!!), i hope you are enjoying the game!

oh i watched both!

they are fine!

[shslskaterboy]

I think listening to the Blooming Villain Scramble on repeat will fix me
