[tricksterlatte]

I have two types of Akeshu playlists

The playlists that are driven by the angst, the raw emotions, the chaotic concoction of all their mixed feelings in-game and throughout the story or even in my fanfics...

and then whatever the hell this is supposed to be

[nightlilly0110]

I’m reading as many Shuake fics as I can (the brain worms are consuming me) and as much as I love the fact that people write Akechi with the “I thought I would be happy when I killed him but the second I did it I felt sad??? Empty??? I also threw up as I left the interrogation room???” complete 180 of emotions he could have in that instant, I feel deep within my heart that he went home after that, decided to open a bottle of expensive alcohol a coworker gave him (why they thought that was a good idea he doesn’t know) to celebrate and doesn’t realize how much he fucked up until he’s piss drunk and does something silly and his drunk ass brain goes “hehe joker would find that funny” and starts having a mental breakdown while crying on the floor of his bathroom.

There's already at least three "Akechi (and sometimes Akira) wake up in the future and have to pretend things are normal" fics, and they're all good in their own ways, and at some point (can't remember when) I had an idea on similar lines that I don't know if I'll ever get around to writing, but I still have in my head.

(There might actually be different versions, with divergences, but that's the way drafts go, right?)

It was that... Akira gets sent forward into the future - or rather, that he trades places with his older self, probably either in or directly after the interrogation room. His older self either thinks it's a flashback or is put into one/a bad state, but through one thing and another things work out. His younger self meanwhile finds himself in the future, with an older Akechi, and because of the when of him being taken from, has zero chance of pretending things are normal - so the older Akechi grasps that either his husband has amnesia, or something's up.

I think the reason I've never felt capable of writing it is that it'd follow the two main POVs of Adult Akira in the canon timeline walking around as his younger self and changing things both on purpose and by pure accident, and Canon(-ish) Akira having to muddle through as much of his adult self's life as he can, but with the help of the few people either Akechi'd trust enough to tell, or that he'd slip up around. Plus me not knowing how to figure out an ending.

Another idea just now was more along the lines of Akechi, right as Maruki's palace is being destroyed, gets sent forward in time instead of to wherever he's supposed to be, and thinks at first that this is some kind of very cruel trick... and the trick in the end is that in order to get back to his own time, he has to want to be alive to see the future he's (accidentally? or not?) been shown.

I dunno, there's just so much potential when it comes to "person who thinks they have nothing to live for and is stuck in a rut gets to see exactly what they could have, if they just let themself."

shuake week day 5 - fantasy au

[coldranger]

Felt I needed to share my creation

[akeshutranslations]

Ghost (preview)

Here's a translation for an akeshu/shuake doujinshi preview by meco/moni_nyan. Read L←R.

Content warning for a character death. A blood puddle is visible, but not too graphic.

"Why is it only a preview and not the full thing?" I realised that too late, and the doujinshi is no longer being printed. I unfortunately do not have a copy of the full thing. Sunk cost fallacy got me, so I finished translating it while dragging myself to the cliffhanger.

But, the author said they get a good ending! So my theory is that bro drags him out of the realm of cognition and he's real again and never died :). Because actually coming to terms with death and grieving is for Persona 3, in Persona 5 nobody dies.

Side-note: I couldn't translate the text in the bottom of the cover because it's incomplete, but my best guess is that it's a train station for a hospital or a hospital itself.

[palalife]

Have you heard the idol Joker’s rumored boyfriend is the high school detective

I guess shuake canon is like celebrity AU but then how about Akiren being the celebrity too? Scandal of the century 🥰

[marlikesunicorns]

here's my list of show tunes from several musicals that vaguely relate to shuake/persona 5 no one asked for

from Percy Jackson:

Good kid (Akiren)

I never try to do anything

I never mean to hurt anyone

I try, I try to be a good kid

A good kid

A good son

But no one ever will take my side

All I ever do is take the fall

I swear, I swear that I'm a good kid

Guess I'm good for nothing at all

(...)

And all I need is one last chance

To prove I'm good enough for someone

I'm good enough for someone

Good Kid reprise (Akechi to Akiren)

I did everything they ever asked, yeah I did

And for what?

You know this world will never be ours

As long as our parents rule over the stars

So I'll do anything

I don't care if I hurt anyone

It doesn't pay to be a good kid

A good kid, a good son

Son of Poseidon (Akira while facing yaldy)

Seems my good intentions

Always crash and burn

Everything I try to do will fail

Never once will I prevail

Going wrong at every turn

My Grand Plan (Makoto)

Always been a smart girl

Always made the grade

Always got the gold star

I've always been a smart girl

But "smart girl" only gets a girl so far

You win at every single game

You want a quest they tell you tough

If you don't go you'll never know

If you'll ever be good enough

from Dear Evan Hansen:

Requiem (Haru about Akechi)

Why should I play this game of pretend?

Remembering through a secondhand sorrow

(...)

Cause when the villains fall, the kingdoms never weep

No one lights a candle to remember

No, no one mourns at all

When they lay them down to sleep

So, don't tell me that I didn't have it right

Don't tell me that it wasn't black and white

After all you put me through

Don't say it wasn't true

That you were not the monster

That I knew

Waving Through a Window (Mishima)

I've learned to slam on the brake

Before I even turn the key

Before I make the mistake

Before I lead with the worst of me

Give them no reason to stare

No slipping up if you slip away

So I got nothing to share

No, I got nothing to say

from Wicked:

What is This Feeling? (Akechi about Akiren)

What is this feeling, so sudden and new?

I felt the moment I laid eyes on you

My pulse is rushing, my head is reeling

My face is flushing

What is this feeling?

Fervid as a flame, does it have a name?

Yes

Loathing!

Unadulterated loathing

For your face, your voice, your clothing

(...)

There's a strange exhilaration

In such total detestation

It's so pure, so strong

from Hamilton:

Wait for it (Akechi about Akiren)

Death doesn't discriminate

Between the sinners and the saints

It takes, and it takes, and it takes

And we keep living anyway

We rise, and we fall, and we break, and we make our mistakes

And if there's a reason I'm still alive

When everyone who loves me has died

I'm willing to wait for it

(...)

Hamilton Kurusu doesn't hesitate

He exhibits no restraint

He takes, and he takes, and he takes

And he keeps winning anyway

He changes the game

He plays and he raises the stakes

And if there's a reason he seems to thrive when so few survive

Then, goddammit, I'm willing to wait for it

from Heathers:

Dead Girl Walking (reprise) (Akiren about Akechi)

I wish your mom had been a little stronger

I wish she had stayed a little longer

I wish your dad were good

I wish grown ups understood

I wish we had met before

They convinced you life is war!

I wish you'd come with me

I am Damaged (Akechi to Akiren)

I am damaged, far too damaged

But you're not beyond repair

Stick around here

Make things better

Cause you beat me fair and square

(...)

I'll trade my life for yours

And when I disappear

Clean up the mess down here

bonus

from The Greatest Showman:

Rewrite the Stars (au of misguided Akiren trying to convince Akechi to take Maruki's deal)

Akiren:

You claim it's not in the cards

And fate is pulling you miles away

And out of reach from me

But you're here in my heart

So who can stop me if I decide

That you’re my destiny?

What if we rewrite the stars?

Say you were made to be mine

Nothing could keep us apart

You'd be the one I was meant to find

It's up to you, and it's up to me

No one can say what we get to be

So why don't we rewrite the stars?

Maybe the world could be ours tonight

Akechi:

None can rewrite the stars

How can you say you’ll be mine?

Everything keeps us apart

And I'm not the one you were meant to find

(I'm not the one you were meant to find)

It's not up to you, it’s not up to me

[monochromaticblue]

Today I bring you, shuake spiderverse au

Tomorrow? Who knows.

Adding a break bc I’m going to RAMBLE

Ren is the one who gets bit by the spider obv

Have yet to decide on a name for him, Joker doesn’t feel spidery enough and Phantom Spider seems too on the nose but.

Goro is a detective working on hunting down said spider person, who keeps flirting with him.

Ren was a former member of spider society before quitting bc Miguel sucks. But he did make some friends in the form of his pre-existing friends from other universes who are spider people too.

That sounded rlly confusing hang on.

The PTs in Rens universe all help him out behind the scenes but then there’s also universes where each of them is the spider in that universe, so Ren has two sets of friends who are the same people. One of the Futabas made an app that lets them travel between dimensions without alerting spider society.

I have ideas to make each of the palace people (-Futaba probably) a big villain that Ren has to face all while dodging the really pretty detective who wants to arrest him.

Until Ren isn’t the only spider in his own dimension. Enter Akechi once again, now working alongside Ren as his own maybe spider themed alter ego that I also haven’t named…

except he wasn’t bit by a radioactive spider, his suit is entirely tech made to mimic Rens abilities (Goros ass cannot do whatever a spider can) featuring a very fun little ai named Robin Hood who keeps commented on Goro’s elevated heart rate when he looks at Ren. Wonder why.

The two continue to work together alongside the other spider thieves up until Ren and Goro wind up on a mission alone together in a lab, the very same lab Rens spider came from, where everything goes wrong, they get separated for a bit but manage to make it out in once piece.

Goro starts acting different after this though, becoming more snappy and never seeming to be available, always spacing out too. Also, there’s a new terror said to be attacking people at night, leaving its victims without heads. (If you can guess where this is going ily)

Ren, worried about his partner in stopping crime, goes to visit Goros apartment one night only to find it entirely a mess, unfortunately he can’t stay for long since there’s screaming down the street. Upon investigating, Ren comes face to face with the very creature he was hoping he wouldn’t have to see.

A thing a whole foot taller than him with a black and white striped body that almost resembled his suit in a way. Ren honestly would have thought it was a suit if not for the giant fucking mouth full of teeth and the horns. After promptly beating the shit out of Ren, the creature proudly announces itself as Loki.

Haven’t exactly figured out how the reveal happens yet but I do very much enjoy the idea of Goro having his own version of the iconic “we are venom” scene from the movie.

But basically Goro joining up with Loki was always the plan. His reasoning for teaming up with Ren is the same as in the game and he yeaa he’s been working with Shido, the mayor, this entire time :D the lab was entirely planned aswell. What wasn’t planned was how much of an impact Loki would have on Goros mental state, but he’s fine. Totally.

Blah blah shit happens, Shido becomes a major threat and Goro finally teams up with the Inter-Dimensional Spider Team for real to help take him down. Things don’t go according to plan, there’s a lot of fire, Goro can’t use Loki and Ren fails to save him! Tada! Canon event!!! *cue Miguel’s theme or whatever*

I want to include third semester because I think it would be cool but I just. Can’t think of how to make it work. But it would result in Goro coming back and finally learning how to get along with Loki.

This has been haunting my mind for weeks every since my friend sent me a design of spider Akiren.

Alsooo since there’s an alternate universe where each of the thieves got spider powers

This also means there’s a universe where it’s Goro.

Why have I strictly been using Ren this entire time? Because Akira is the one in Spider Goro’s world, with his symbiot Arsene

He’s uh. A little fucked up.

Thank you for listening to the deranged ramblings of a mad man, see you next millennium
