Etoiles: Hey all that is destiny, dude

Antoine: I’m the one who did it in the hopes of stumbling across it on Geoguessr one day

Antoine: And yeah, dude….

Etoiles: peepoShy, as we say

Antoine: The blue level of the TDM

Florence: No but he’s horny, Rayou, tonight

[soy-bean-factory]

had some thoughts about certain characters having halos with specific looks to them, so i drew it.

//explanation(?) in the tags if your curious vv

[woolying]

i cant believe dead trio isnt gonna be a trio for much longer !!!

[qwuilty]

(worlds most melancholy playing of you cant fight the homestuck)

I havent done sprites in a bit but i had a lot of fun doing these, i tried to stick mostly to the canon style and drew most the sprite parts myself besides using nepeta's coat and editing the god tier sprites (also thank you to my partner for helping me decide some especially p1's <3 <3 <3)

Bonus alternate god tier for p3 cause i feel both are fitting for him

[kumakuma-circus]

follow-up to this post with an important amendment: eevee wild cards.

persona q more like persona v(ee)-

[mild-mirror]

assorted tatsuya suou s.links

so these links are from around the start of innocent sin! ep shall be discussed in the notes. based almost solely on vibes and a bit of wiki trawling

(more notes after the read more!)

Fool RANK MAX - ??? - You don’t remember them.

once tatsuya gains his memories back, changes to: "Fool RANK MAX - Original Masked Circle - Your childhood friends. It's been a long time since you played at the shrine together."

Empress Rank 1 - Reporter Duo - A pair of reporters who have awakened to their Personas.

fun fact: tatsuya is the one classifying these bonds and mistakenly assumes his empress is a duo bond. this is to obscure the fact that he already had a(n unfinished) link with maya- the bond is actually a solo bond with yukino. you can update it ahead of time if you ask igor about it haha, he'll clarify and change it to: “Empress Rank ? - Yukino Mayuzumi - A reporter for Coolest and experienced Persona-user. She fights alongside you.” after she gives up her power, changes to: “Empress Rank 8 - Yukino Mayuzumi - A reporter for Coolest and experienced Persona-user who gave up her power. She can still protect others.”

Lovers Rank 2 - Lisa Silverman - A girl at your school who seems to have feelings for you, she’s awakened to her Persona alongside you. She seems familiar.

starts at 2 because tatsuya knew her from school and formed the barest bones of a bond (rank 1), gains another rank when they summon their personae for the first time. after mt iwato, changes to: "Lovers Rank 5 - Lisa "Ginko" Silverman - Your childhood friend who likes kung-fu and seems to have feelings for you. She fights alongside you." after facing her shadow, becomes: "Lovers Rank 8 - Lisa "Ginko" Silverman - Your childhood friend who likes kung-fu and fights alongside you. She will love you no matter what." buuuut unfortunately if you pick jun as your romantic interest, changes to: "Lovers Rank 8 [REVERSED] - Lisa "Ginko" Silverman - Your childhood friend who likes kung-fu and fights alongside you. She will love you no matter what, but she needs time to process..." ^if you picked maya or eikichi or didn't say anything, it's the same but just doesn't reverse oops. it only reverses if you pick jun, though, because she seemed. a bit sadder in that one. sorry lisa o7 it unreverses after re-gaining her joint contact tho!! at that point, becomes: "Lovers Rank 9 - Lisa "Ginko" Silverman - Your childhood friend who likes kung-fu and fights alongside you. Though her feelings are unrequited, she will love you no matter what. " ^this is also her rank 9 for picking eikichi, maya, or not picking at all. catch all description. if you pick her as your romantic interest, though, changes to: "Lovers Rank 9 - Lisa "Ginko" Silverman - Your childhood friend who likes kung-fu and fights alongside you. You return her feelings of love." maxes at the end of is when the group decide to go back and give up their memories.

Wheel of Fortune RANK MAX - ??? - You don’t remember them.

you know who this is :) it's maxed, because Of Course It Is :) after tatsuya remembers the exchange, changes to: “Wheel of Fortune MAX RANK - Boy With Your Father's Watch - Your childhood best friend. He is your other self.” after mt iwato, updates to: “Wheel of Fortune MAX RANK - Jun Kurosu - Your childhood best friend. He is your other self.” (and hanged man ranks up at this time as well)

Justice Rank 6 [REVERSED] - Katsuya Suou - Your older brother, a police detective who loves to bake on the side. He just doesn’t understand you…!

heehee. this arcana is reversed not because katsuya is mad, but because *tatsuya* is. LOL is stagnant for all of innocent sin, but unreverses in ep and can then be worked on! ranks will stay on this side's tatsuya even when the other tatsuya returns to the other side fun fact this is the Only arcana that remains the same for both tatsuyas- in the different worlds, he has created the same bond twice lmao. (and its still reversed LMAO) maxes at a poignant moment BEFORE the final boss of ep.

Hanged Man Rank 1 - “Joker” - A strange being who grants wishes when summoned. They seem to seek revenge on you.

why yes, we get a separate link for joker! why? obfuscation purposes :) after mt iwato, it becomes: "Hanged Man Rank 5 - “Joker” - The person Jun became after ten years of misery. You can't decide how you feel about him...” after he joins your party: "Hanged Man Rank 6 - “Joker” - The person Jun became after ten years of misery, now fighting alongside you. You can't decide how you feel about him…” during/after the leo shrine; if you pick "I don't hate him." or "He only did what I would have." the second sentence becomes "You can understand his feelings." if you pick "...Maybe so..." the second sentence becomes "You can't forgive him, but you can understand his feelings." (no matter what you pick, the bond will Not reverse, but if you decide you hate jun, the bond stalls at rank 9 For Ever. or something) after lisa's shadow: ..hm. can you pick jun as your love interest in the same save file as saying you hate him? well, i assume not. but if you don't say you hate him and you pick him after the fight, the second sentence changes to "You understand the depths of his feelings, and return them in kind."

Death Rank 1 - Eikichi "Michel" Mishina - The boss of Kasugayama’s gang and leader of a band, he’s awakened to his Persona alongside you. He seems familiar.

after eikichi resigns, changes to: Death Rank 3 - Eikichi "Michel" Mishina - The leader of a band at Kasugayama High, he’s awakened to his Persona alongside you. He seems familiar." after mt iwato, changes to “Death Rank 5 - Eikichi "Michel" Mishina - Your childhood friend who is the leader of a band at Kasugayama High. He fights alongside you.” after facing his shadow, becomes: “Death Rank 8 - Eikichi "Michel" Mishina - Your childhood friend, the leader of a band at Kasugayama High who fights alongside you. It seems he's found his own happiness.” maxes at the end of is when the group decide to go back and give up their memories.

Moon Rank 7 [REVERSED] - ??? - You don’t remember them.

this one isn't rank 10 and has spent a decade completely ignored; of course it's gotten reversed in that time haha. not to worry though- it silently turns upright again when you meet maya again, but the text isn't updated until mt iwato. at that point, changes to: “Moon Rank 8 - Maya Amano - Your childhood friend whom you vowed to protect. You can protect each other now.” if you pick her as your love interest after lisa's shadow, changes to: “Moon Rank 8 - Maya Amano - Your childhood friend whom you vowed to protect. You have a shared intimacy.” ^otherwise, stays the same ......maxes out when she gets stabbed after the final boss. the traditional rank 10 gift is mr bunbun. changes to: “Moon RANK MAX - Maya Amano - Your childhood friend whom you vowed to protect. You failed."

Sun Rank 1 - Friend Group - Your Persona-wielding friends who are looking into the rumors with you.

levels up through story progression haha. is level 9 all throughout endgame, maxes out the very second eternal punishment starts :)

Aeon Rank 1 - Philemon - A mysterious being with a butterfly mask that granted you the power of Persona.

philemon time! twas originally judgment but i changed it bc this is more fitting :) and i have a better judgment below lol rank ups happen when you visit his cathedral thingie, which happens *checks notes* not very often i think. therefore it jumps multiple ranks at times. i think the first entry of the velvet room also ranks this one up. perhaps a rank up happens when ultimate personas. idk how its spreads out, but reaches max rank when you hit/thank him. unique in that the description stays the same all the way through is, but once its maxed it begins changing to reflect tatsuya's opinon on him. even though it's maxed and an unbreakable bond already. he's just built different when ep hits, changes to: "Aeon RANK MAX - Philemon - A being with a butterfly mask that granted you the power of Persona. After losing a bet for humanity's potential, he gave you a second chance." and so on and so forth fun fact "this side" tatsuya would get the mysterious: "Aeon RANK MAX - ??? - It's all because of him." it is the only bond that this side's tatsuya didn't have previously that he gets to keep.

NOTES:

i am new to p2, feel free to suggest corrections or other ideas :D

unlike in p3 onwards, this is just a catalogue of tatsuya’s relationships and thus, simply auto update upon reaching story portions/selecting dialogues. there aren't any events you need to initiate, they just kind of level up as story events happen. you would then be able to check them in your menu, or in the velvet room.

tatsuya does Not fill out his entire arcana. if it were a more modern game then we could probably eke out the rest of them with npcs from around sumaru and the p1 gang, but this is persona 2 and social links aren't real yet, so we'll just have to stick with the basics and essentials

gee tatsuya how come you get TWO group social links with your friends???

in all seriousness i selected fool for the 'masked circle' bc like. tis the beginning yknow? they dont know how its gonna go yet. the masked circle is simply a group of lonely children who made friends with each other. its maxed because it's easier to make friends as children vs in your teens, so even in that short amount of time they all just got really, really close under the umbrella of this group arcana (which also made it hurt so much when it all fell apart.)

the reason sun is Also a group social link for essentially the same people (weird, i know, but we need the current and former friend groups to stay separate due to it being a twist. and amnesia. mayhaps i am just making excuses) is because sun is tatsuya's own arcana, and there's some theory out there about the group fool s.links simply being a reflection of the mc and their own development measured by how they interact with others rather than 'this is the group arcanaTM'. dunno how accurate it is, but it serves my purposes very, very well :) also hey this one actually includes yukino

also part of the reason it's so dangerous for the friend group to, like, know tatsuya, in ep- is that he has maxed out those bonds; they're Unbreakable at that point. its literally just a waiting game/ticking time bomb since they all have their individual links, and are part of the fool social link, AND are part of the sun social link. not only that, but...

gee tatsuya how come you get TWO social links with specifically jun- (this has ramifications surely. maybe. idk)

the reason for this one was mostly to obscure joker's identity. buuut i also thought it'd be fun if the two links represented tatsuya's feelings on jun before and after The Decade Of Separation. of course he'll always cherish the childhood friend jun he exchanged mementos with, but jun changed a LOT in the time since- can tatsuya still call those two the same person? can he reconcile his feelings about how drastically different jun is now? the separate link for "joker" remains separate because they are, arguably, different people, separated across the vast gulf of ten years' time. is it not more poetic for tatsuya to have to decide if he can consider the jun of now still dear to him despite everything that has happened between them, to have him decide if the jun of then is worth reconnecting to the person who was behind joker? i think so. also i dont know how a persona game would deal with the two links merging. if they merged.

fun fact: i was debating on having the og jun link be tatsuya's sun instead of his own arcana fortune, for the reasons that they're literally referred to as each other's shadows/doppelgangers/etcetera and it would be doubly representative, but then i wouldn't have a good arcana for the New group link oops. maybe next time

yknow i thought abt giving philemon a title instead? but i forgor if he has any canon titles in the vein of nyarly's Crawling Chaos so i just left at at his name. however if he did i would like it to be the name used in this s.link the entire time, even before philemon mentions it or it is said out loud. just a little something to spice it up

EP SPECIFIC NOTES:

speaking of…. "this side" tatsuya is not aware of his social links nor how to look at them. better luck in another timeline my guy ! he and the other side's tatsuya don't share s.links with the exception of the aeon arcana, and only when ep tatsuya is in his body does he retain his s.links, both ones he brought from his timeline and ones he'll make in the new one. see below

nyarlathotep becomes tatsuya’s tower arcana in ep/at the tail end of is (under the title of Crawling Chaos obviously), and jumps like 5 ranks the second tatsuya realizes its the same guy behind everything. they're already well aquainted after all! i think this bond would be perpetually in reverse, but still able to be ranked up. he's just built different

anna becomes tatsuya's priestess arcana in ep. but he's not friends with anna in the is timeline :) it would be this side's tatsuya's bond, technically! it just kind of poofs into existence/is there when he wakes up on "this side". but but he and the other are the same person (kind of) so. if he wanted to, he could level up the bond, but since he doesn't wanted to, the bond would stay at its 'starting' rank for, mm, about the whole game.

new group to fight shadows i mean demons with, new bond! in ep, tatsuya will gain a judgment group arcana for the party of ep (it maxes when he decides to go back to the other side). i think it'd be funny if it started when he gave maya the emblem, but ranked up only when he was actually fighting with them. so, a level up when he features in the blimp part, but it only really picks up steam after he joins the party for real. thought it'd be fun to have an equivalent to the p3/p4 final boss runup social link for ep's latter half :D

im still thinking about if tatsuya would get a bond with sudou. he would hate it so much but it Would be interesting... except i'm not entirely sure which one he'd have, bc i already gave tower to nyarly?? so not sure. maybe maya gets that particular s.link instead...... yeah...

i actually really wanted to give katsuya the hierophant. i still want to do it so bad actually, you dont understand, im flip flopping between justice and hierophant for him lmao. i put him down as justice here because that's his own arcana and has interesting implications on how tatsuya sees katsuya. but if you want you can imagine it's hierophant and it would still make sense imo!!

baofu gets devil i think. the man is shady but not malicious! im open to suggestions tho bc. its not like i can give him the hanged man oops.

oh, yeah! ulala would be the star! even though priestess and empress are already taken, i feel like whatever role she plays in his life does actually fit her own arcana better.. not sure if he and ulala really have a super strong bond but i do think ep would end up giving him her max rank by the end. baofu as well. and even if not, judgment will max for sure.

when ep tatsuya leaves, he takes all of his s.links with him, and this side's tatsuya is left with only his initial links- justice and priestess (including any progress the other side's tatsuya made on those links)... and an aeon link he didn't have before.

not like he knows tho since he isn't even aware they exist. LMAO

hope this was an enjoyable and fun read, i had lots of brainworms for it! please be sure to tell me your thoughts :)
