#psyche persona 3

[mild-mirror]

metis is interesting bc she's aigis' other self right, like she is technically 'athena'. but her own persona is a wedding dress (meant to be worn on a happy occasion about a union) on a see-through wire mannequin (human shaped but ultimately just an empty frame), her gloves are empty (it will stay limp in another's hand), and she has an elaborate sprawling butterfly-wing mask for a face (hiding from her real self? the butterfly of death and rebirth??). and all these pieces are separated (a regression to the way palladion was).

idk man. just... something about psyche is so interesting with what she represents for aigis, as an extension of metis, who is an extension of aigis. or something

How did I make it through persona 3 while having a cripplingly bad existential crisis?

[princekirijo]

Sorry for the random ask but I saw your post about regarding your opinions on the P3 casts personas and you said to share if anyone had any ideas so...I might have an idea as to why metis was given psyche as a persona??

Psyche is supposed to be a representation of the human soul (her name literally meaning both soul and butterfly, something that is often connected to souls symbolically. And also literally becoming the goddess of the soul) and Metis is all of Aigis' repressed emotions basically given form right? And emotions is apart of what makes a soul right? Kinda? So you could argue Metis is Aigis' soul(or at least a part of it) and therefore, she was given psyche since she is a representation of the soul.

Anyways those were just my thoughts, sorry to crash into your asks so randomly

OOOHH! Anon this actually makes so much sense I was really scratching my head trying to figure this out when it was right there 😭

I didn't know that her name meant soul butterfly and that she was the goddess of soul. I think I was too focused on the myth about her and Eros (how she attained godhood I believe) that I didn't think of looking at the name.

You're right about Metis though, I think there might even be a point where they straight up say she is a part of Aigis' soul (been a minute since I played the Answer) and even if they don't say it, they imply it heavily. So yeah her persona being a soul butterfly makes so much sense and also given Aigis has access to the Velvet room and that has heavy butterfly symbolism as well that makes so much sense!

Thanks for pointing this out to me anon :] I absolutely love talking about personas and I love hearing other's opinions on them so please you're not crashing in at all I love to hear them 🥰

"How many times do I have to tell you? I'm not a virgin!"

— lied Chan for the nth time.

"It's been years and it's still not believable. Plus, Vernon told us you were whining about it at Soonie's party last Friday," responded Jeonghan nonchalantly.

"Vernon!", Chan turned to him, betrayal in his eyes.

His whines were only met with chuckles from all the other men surrounding him, most of which were nursing some different variant of an alcoholic beverage as they lounged around uselessly.

Most weekends were spent like this.

Chan had the misfortune of being the youngest in his large thirteen member friend group, one which was also well known throughout school due to a few of his friends' reputations. Chan, however, did not live up to that idea.

Unlike all his other friends, — well known to be either heartthrobs, or at least, you know, not virgins — Chan found himself as an outlier.

On the outside, he may have easily emulated that same popular and charismatic persona all his friends held and lived by, but he truly had no idea what he was doing. Sure, he knew himself to be likable and attractive (at least he liked to think so), but his sexual prowess was still very much below average (is anything lower than zero?).

Luckily for him, this was not known by anyone outside of his friend group. To everyone else, Chan was as pursued as his older friends such as Mingyu and Wonwoo, except it was all a lie.

Hell, even you, being his best friend since middle school, were blissfully unaware of his virginal state. And to be quite honest, this was something he wanted to keep that way.

You see, Chan had hopes of airing out his not-so-discreet crush on you one day ('maybe not today, but someday!', he'd tell himself). And the knowledge of him being a loser virgin would probably not help matters when that day came.

His virginity was such a hot topic among his friends that a running bet had tormented him since his first weekend at university. With all his friends being merely one year older, he was the victim of constant teasing as they watched him crash and burn any time a girl showed interest in him, only for him to psyche himself out of actually getting down to anything.

His constant failures only prompted more teasing throughout the years, especially in the form of Jeonghan and Seungkwan berating him about losing his virginity and confessing his pathetic crush on you. Sometimes Dokyeom and Mingyu would join in, insisting he could kill two birds with one stone if he'd only play his cards right.

The mere thought never failed to make Chan blush. To think of you in that context always had a physical effect on him. His palms would become clammy, his face would redden, and sadly, his hardness would make an appearance.

But he'd be lying if he hadn't wanted to will the thought into existence.

The two of you never really spoke about such things, but he was still painfully aware of how opposite of him you were in that aspect. It was no secret to him that your virginity was long gone. To his knowledge, you'd spent your freshman and sophomore years basking in all the attention you received, landing in a few beds in the process. You had this charisma that Chan envied (and was simultaneously extremely attracted to). In your junior year, however, you'd calmed down a bit, spending your Fridays nights cuddled up with Chan in the corner of one of his friends' frat parties rather than out on your own.

"Okay, so are you giving up? You're losing the bet?," Jeonghan piled on, calling Chan's attention away from his internal monologue.

"Giving up on what! I never participated on that bet. You guys came up with it to bully me!," he responded, exasperated.

Joshua rounded the couch to take a seat on the arm of it, patting Chan's shoulder condescendingly as he sipped at his beer with a chuckle.

"We could set you up with someone, you know?", he suggested, knowing Chan would deny his suggestion but trying anyways.

"N-no. I don't want someone to fuck me out of pity," Chan grumbled.

"And that'd be cheating. We're not supposed to help him," added Vernon.

"You guys made up rules?!"

"Shh. The adults are talking," tsk'd Seungkwan.

"You're still a junior. You have time to lose it before graduating still," aided Wonwoo from his side of the room.

"We decided against that. It has to be before we graduate or else it doesn't count," said one of the many seniors in the room.

"Okay, maybe queue me in on the rules if I'm going to be the main character of this bet, guys," grumbled Chan, giving up.

"That's still four months til graduation, Channie. C'mon, it'll be good for you. Maybe you can find a girlfriend and then you won't be all alone after we graduate."

"Yeah, man. Why do you have no friends your own age?" poked Mingyu, chuckling along with the rest of the seniors currently picking at a defeated Chan.

"It looks like I have no friends at all."

Vernon laughed, getting up to sit next to a slumped-back Chan, completely defeated on the couch. He patted his back, though unlike Joshua, he seemed to do it in solidarity.

"Listen, man. Just ask Y/N out. She likes you. We all see it. Just be a man and ask her out. We've told you before — two birds, one stone," encouraged Vernon.

Chan sat back up at the mention of your name, now having you back in his mind.

Should he?

Should he throw all caution to the wind and go on a limb? He'd sensed some more-than-friends vibes from you before, but he'd never been sure enough to actually try and go after you.

Annoyed and confused, Chan stood up with a huff, heading for the door before turning around to grumble at his friends.

"You all suck!," he began his tipsy rant, "I'm going to go out there and prove you all wrong. I'm going to lose my virginity ten times harder than any of you ever did," he declared, his intoxicated brain not realizing he wasn't making much sense, "And then you'll all owe me that stupid betting pool. You'll see," he went to point at Jeonghan, "Specially you!"

Jeonghan gaped at him in amusement, which only provoked further laughter from all the drunk men who had already been laughing at a pent-up Chan. Chan made his exit with this last statement, annoyed enough to disavow his friends for the rest of the night.

Still tipsy and with frustration charging through his veins, Chan made his decision. He knew his next destination for the night and marched there decisively.

okay! total shot in the dark here. if this flops pretend it never happened. but two people i know offered their answers and my heart is in this now!! if you’d stop and read this you would make my heart so happy. you don’t have to be a persona fan to participate! i have widened my horizons LOL!

details under the cut!

what i’m doing:

a (incredibly informal) psychological research experiment of sorts. that sounds heavy, i know, but all i really mean is i’m interested in hearing your answers as a human. i’m looking into some of the psychology behind humans and their favorite characters!

if i shared my hypothesis explicitly i fear it may cause bias in participants… so that will wait!!

if this gets enough answers i will absolutely share my findings and thoughts. should that post ever come to fruition, nobody’s specific answers will be shared in order to protect your privacy.

moving on!

requirements:

• have played/watched/experienced any piece of media that has characters at some point in your life.

(*i know i said persona specifically up there, but im opening it up to any piece of media! go crazy!)

• have a favorite character whom you like a lot.

• be willing to answer some questions!

how to give your answers:

• through my inbox. anonymous submissions are totally fine!

• comment on this post. i don’t mind how long your answer is. if it takes a 20-comment thread, so be it!

• message me privately. if you’re trying to do that and can’t for whatever reason, comment and i will reach out to you!

the questions:

please answer in as much detail and as honestly as you can. there is no such thing as oversharing! if you are uncomfortable answering certain questions, absolutely feel free to skip it. just make sure you indicate which one you are skipping so i don’t get confused haha.

1) what is your favorite piece of media? (i.e. a game, movie, tv show, etc.)

2) who is currently your favorite fictional character (whether they’re from that media or not)?

3) do you see a lot of yourself in that character? i.e. you relate to them a lot? in what ways specifically? why or why not?

4) were they your favorite character from the get-go, or did they dethrone another character?

5) what do they have that the other characters don’t have, if applicable? if you’re not sure, is there a reason you like them more than another character(s)?

6) have you had similar experiences in life to that character?

7) what are your favorite traits about this character?

8) be completely honest: do you personally have any of the traits you named as being your favorite in that character? do you dislike those same traits in yourself?

9) anything else you’d like to add!

thank you so much for your time!

hoooo i wanna do a little psychological research thing with literally any persona fans on here so bad i wanna do it SO BAD

Persona failteacher yuri, comic #24: about her breaking point (part 3: pot, kettle) [AU masterpost]

i hate when it's one page off from an easily arrange-able number. egh

in case you're unfamiliar: in languages that use more graphemes than can feasibly fit on a keyboard layout, an IME (input method editor) software component is used. in our example--typing japanese on a generic laptop keyboard--the user would type in romaji or kana and the IME provides a dropdown menu to choose which kanji you want to insert. usually you press spacebar to go down the list and Enter to insert the selected kanji. so make sure to spell everything correctly and pick the right kanji at the end... 😤

there are also "thumb-shift" keyboards that are faster when writing in japanese, which are popular with people who write a lot for a living. i think they're very cool

^idk just in case you were curious what kind of frenzied keyboard whoopsies she's having in her Mad Bull haze . im just talking about keyboards and pretending kawakami isnt severely spiraling (and psyching herself up to force toriumi's hand) as we speak. it's fine

Astro Thoughts ! Different perspectives on the signs, aspects and more !

Just had a lot on my mind and open to share a few pieces i got from certain placements:

7th house placements : have difficulty in being alone. needs time to surrender to themselves more to truly break into that authenticity they know they have inside of them. its okay to want a partner, but not when your focused on them being your other half.

aries placements : energetic, strong willed, blunt and abrasive. youthful appearance and energy, to me, this is a placement that ages very well. because they go harder for themselves more than anyone will. could be in leadership positions more than they want to, its there bold-like presence hat makes it happen for them.

3rd house placements : you guys need to travel to sma'l cities in your area. if you like in a small rural area then try other towns that are two hours away. make it fun. its to expand that brain of yours, you never know what you may find.

neptune/sun : too beautiful for the camera. might of been told you look different on and off camera. idk, your beauty can not be described, even the camera dont get it right sometimes.

pluto/venus : deep intimacy with themselves. magical personas and beings of light that the dark even strays from them at times. they have beautiful auras that can be life changing the longer you stick around them. beautiful spirits.

3rd house suns : can brighten the mood with just their warm presence. gifted in astrology, writing, poetry, travel, and have plenty of hobbies. i see jewelry making as a big theme for some people here.

1st house liliths : odd, interesting perspectives, intriguing to look at, hard to ignore and MUST be tamed. these individuals have a lot to look up to, and must overcome challenges of the psyche before the people of the valley get to them first.

10th house venus : popular loners, eventually enjoy the spotlight after being pushed to the side for some time, I know it seems odd for them to never be popular but theres a time for everyone, even this placement. their beauty is unmistaken, captivating and can even bring them an army of fans that look up them for their artistic values and appreciation of life. princess energy is strongest here.

6th house mars : y'all work way to hard. waaaay to hard. must take time for yourselves and work on not feeling guilty on doing that lovelies <3

moon in the 2nd: needs to appreciate life through their home. balance is necessary in their home, finances and with the inner self. could have talents in sociology, psycho therapy, and could have a strong intuition as well.

hope you all enjoy ! wanted something short and sweet. let me know what you think in the comments !
