#tsundere phantom thief

[banqanas]

I found it!!!! Lupus tsundere moment i mentioned yesterday wwww

BATTLE OF TOKYO Vol 5, page 46.

“Good job, Smash. You can go ahead and rest in the back. Leave the driving to me.”

“Yeah, thanks,” Smash replied to Zero before turning to Lupus. “Sorry, but I can barely move anymore. Can you carry Sherrock to the back seat in my place?”

“That’s what I was intending to do in the first place. But don’t get me wrong, thief. I’m only helping saving Sherrock to make him reveal the location of the Old Book. I have no intention of being friends with you scoundrels.”

“Heh. You say that yet you’ve followed Sherrock all this way. What a tsundere.”

“Tsun…dere…? What’s that? Some sort of phantom thief code? Don’t say things that don’t make sense,” Lupus snorted at Smash’s light teasing before carrying Sherrock to the back of the vehicle.

Having seen their banter, Zero whispered to Bailey. “It seems that Lupus still harbors strong distrust for us. Is it a good decision for us to travel in the same car together?”

“Nah, don’t worry about it. That’s just one of his acts. As ROWDY SHOGUN’s ace, Lupus imposes on himself a strict code of perfection at all times. As a professional bodyguard and a martial arts genius, he always acts with flawless integrity.”

“I see. So he’s basically a clumsy person.”

“You get it? I think he’s clumsy too. Well, he might be stubborn but you can definitely trust him.”

1) Hmmmmm..... Now that you mention it........ 🤔

I mean, I guess it makes sense? But at the same time, when Phantom was making his whole lil' speech, he mentioned "a" treasure, as in singular, right?

Idk man, maybe they're onto something. I guess we'll see!

2) PFFFFT!!!!! (≧∇≦)

THERE HE IS, THERE'S OUR BOI DANTE!!!!

It's so funny how he isn't even phased by any of Blade's antics at this point. Like, "Oh yeah, here comes two loud dudes showing up out of nowhere, literally falling from the sky. Yup, just another normal day for the Sun Lord!"

(˶ˆᗜˆ˵)

3) Awwwwww!!!!

Dante is such a big ol' softie, I swear!!!!

*COUGHCOUGH*praisekink*COUGHCOUGH*

HE"S SO GODDAMN CUUUUTTTEEEE!!!!!!

♡♡♡ LOOK AT HIM!!!!! ♡♡♡

SEE? BLADE AGREES WITH ME---LET'S ALL LOOK AT DANTE!!!!

BASK IN HIS GAP MOE TSUNDERE BULLSHIT!!!!!

(,,>﹏<,,) ♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡

4) And speaking of tsundere bullshit---

♡♡♡ Rei, sweetie!!! I'm so proud of you!!!! ♡♡♡

It's honestly so nice seeing Rei interacting more with others. He's absolutely lying through his teeth by calling it "meaningless," yes, but it's a step in the right direction! While there's nothing wrong with being introverted, going to long without genuine human connection ain't healthy, so I'm very happy for Rei.

˗ˏˋ Character Development™ for the win!!! ˎˊ˗

5) And of course, just when it looks like everything is all well and good---

XD

I mean, to be fair, Eiden, you ARE kind of a magnet for chaos. (Call it an unfortunate side-effect of being the main character...)

But anyway; I wonder if these thieves are acting under the Phantom Thief's orders? Although, tbh, I think it's more likely that they're acting independently. After all, given current circumstances, they could easily figure out on their own that a noble's carriage would be transporting something valuable for the fair event.

6) Rei, the King of "I Don't Give a Fuck" (≧∇≦)

7) Rei, the Crazy-Ass Alchemist

This action scene is pretty damn cool, tho. I feel like I don't see a lot of alchemist-style fighting in media, so this is refreshing. But I can't help but wonder, what exactly was the potion/concoction that Rei just---

...

*Heavy sigh*

.....How very on-brand of you, Rei.....

I thought it was going to be some sort of cool poisonous gas, but of course not..... Well, that's one way to stop a pursuer, I guess.

♡ End of report! ♡

[lunar-wandering]

Hello! This is my first time sending an ask and I wanted to know if you could give a quick description of some of your au's.

I'm new to your page and i'm curious about them.

Right!! Okay!! Sorry this took so long and I'm sure I'm gonna forget one or more of them but here's as many as I remember with summaries-

Uno Reverse Card Swap AU: Red Son runs a cafe, MK works at said cafe (Pigsy and Tang both work at the local university), Mei also works at the cafe. Mei and Red Son are secretly vigilantes, who guard Monkey King's staff, which is sealing the Lady Bone Demon. One night the alert goes off, and they find that MK has lifted the staff. MK gets inducted into their lil team + Wukong breaks down the door of the cafe to announce that MK is his successor now. (As for personalities, to make it quick; MK is a lot shier/anxious in this AU, Wukong is a lot meaner (kinda like a tsundere but like for EVERYTHING. also he swears a lot), Red Son's more chill... also Red Son uses water guns hslfkjslks. ...oh and also MK is a scientifically made clone of Wukong because humans wanted a "controllable Monkey King" but that's not important-

(... that summary was a lot longer than i thought it'd be and i didn't even mention half of the stuff going on in it. ...oh boy this post is gonna be longer than i thought it'd be.)

Giggle Glow AU: this one is fairly easy to explain; basically, Wukong glows when he laughs. this spreads to MK and Macaque. in some scenarios this also spreads to the others as well but that's Basically It. despite it being so simple I love this AU with my whole heart.

Phantom Thief AU: essentially?? Mei comes from a long line of phantom thieves, Pigsy, Tang, and Sandy used to be a phantom thief trio, and, due to being raised by Pigsy and Tang + being friends with Mei, MK is also a phantom thief. the funniest thing about this AU is that the other characters all start the same as canon- the differences are that when Wukong finds out about MK's second 'job' he demands that MK teach him how to be a phantom thief. Oh, and, also, Red Son has a crush on MK's phantom thief persona, and had NO idea that he was also MK for a while. He started looking for someone to train him to be a phantom thief at some point, and ended up somehow becoming Macaque's apprentice.

Fruit Smoothie AU: a lil similar to Uno Reverse AU- Red Son and Mei run a smoothie truck + are heroes/vigilantes (albeit it didn't start that way- Red Son was initially a villain that Mei ended up redeeming). The difference here is that they meet MK, the new vigilante on the block (who takes forever to reveal details about himself to them; he doesn't tell them he's the Monkey King's successor at first and instead makes up a lie that he's from a reclusive demon family), via him literally slamming into the back of their food truck, injured, and them having to take him back to their shared apartment to treat him. ...Also in this AU Macaque escapes from LBD and needs somewhere to hide so he throws on a human glamour and gets a job working at their smoothie truck shflksdjfls. Only MK knows it's him for the longest time.

Fantasy Break AU: Wukong and Macaque fall through a magic mirror mid-fight and end up stuck in this ballroom where the doors teleport them into different stories/myths. They have to complete all the stories in order to get out.

Shadowheart AU: Macaque is cursed to end every sentence he says with "I Love You", takes the over dramatic route of just Not Saying Anything, and this leads to Problems.

Slapstick AU: Essentially, in this universe, demons decided that fighting with violence was just, y'know. Not a good game plan. So now fights are fought via comedy. Whoever can land the best joke (slapstick, stand up, even a knock knock joke), wins the battle. (LBD does not follow this rule). Oh also Wukong is cursed; but the curse works to his advantage via making people think he's a master at slapstick comedy. (Macaque, on the other hand, is just clumsy).

Twinkle Twinkle AU: Wukong and Macaque both have star-freckles on their face + ears that reflect the stars that are currently over top of the people they care about- it's kinda like a map to be able to find their loved ones, essentially.

Electric Avenue AU: MK, Pigsy, Tang, Mei, and Sandy (who are a band) end up trapped within the Demon Dimension, and MK accidentally ends up with all of Wukong's powers after an incident, leaving Wukong powerless. This AU is very much inspired by an 80's cartoon that was themed around 80's music, so this AU is based on that too (+ with some of their outfits being 80's themed as well). LBD in this AU is running a band that steals music from other people and pretends to play it while LBD uses a magic record player to hypnotize people/cause other magic effects. Kind of a battle of the bands AU?

Melody AU: SPEAKING OF MUSICAL AU'S!! this one has a bunch of my OC's in it but outside of them the main plotline is that there's a magic barrier protecting the city and Wukong needs to supply it with magic energy to maintain it and the easiest way of doing so is through song, so he became a pop star (sorry, no stagefright in this AU). one night, when MK, Mei, and Red Son get the chance to do their first performance (or, well, MK's first performance), MK accidentally releases such an enormous surge of magic power that the barrier cracks, allowing the Lady Bone Demon to get through.

Sitcom AU: this AU can mostly just be summed up by "they all share a giant mansion of a house. shenanigans ensue". (and by all i mean ALL).

Sundrop AU: due to bottling up his emotions for so long, any emotion that isn't happiness or sadness will cause Wukong to go into his kaiju form. (there's more to it than that but that's the simplest way to put it)

Forget-Me-Not AU: in this one, MK is the reincarnation of Xiaotian, who was Wukong's apprentice centuries ago. Xiaotian is.. kinda haunting MK, and they need to find pieces of a magical object in order to fully free Wukong- who's been turned to stone and hidden within a garden- he can be free when MK is there, but he can't leave, and turns back to stone whenever MK is a certain distance away. In this AU, MK was actually found and raised by LBD, so he's uh... a little traumatized, I'd say.

Flightless Birds AU: basically one of those AU's where everyone has wings- except MK was born with wings that are too small for him to fly, Wukong's wings were severely damaged by the mountain, and Macaque is missing a wing.

Platonic Soulmates (Soulmarks??) AU: everyone has multiple soulmates; you and your soulmate decide what the definition of soulmate means to you, essentially. Wukong has the belief that anyone he's soulmates with will meet a terrible fate, and so tries to avoid the subject altogether and theres SO MUCH MORE BUT THIS POST IS SO LONG I GOTTA MAKE THESE SUMMARIES SHORTER

Mixup Mashup AU: I haven't touched this one in a LONG time but it's basically an AU where MK, Mei, and Red Son are sharing a body (Red Son's body, specifically), and Wukong and Macaque have swapped bodies (due to the same incident that caused the trio to fuse).

Sunset Wukong AU: Wukong is cursed so that if he uses his powers during the day, he will slowly turn to stone. The process reverses at the end of the day, and he can use his powers during the night freely. He avoids telling MK this for a while hsdflsldfjs. (TBH this whole AU was made so I could make a Macaque vs Wukong fight scene that would be similar to that one Hibiki vs Miku fight scene in Symphogear but then I never wrote it)

Doppelganger AU: An AU where Wukong freed Macaque before going to save MK at the end of s2- and, basically, Macaque and Wukong swapped places. Or to put it in a way that's easier to understand: the Wukong that shows up at the end of s2 is actually Macaque in disguise. Eventually Wukong rejoins them on the airship, disguised as Macaque, and the two just... instead of explaining anything, decide to keep this illusion up? (Sandy and MK are the first to figure them out and... kinda help them with it a bit).

Rock Garden AU: different types of plants and flowers grow on Wukong based on his emotions.

Sway AU: When either Wukong or Macaque dances, the other is forced to copy their movements perfectly.

Chocolatier Macaque AU: this is basically an AU where Macaque decides, post ep9, to just. run a chocolate store instead. despite the fact that chocolate is literally poisonous to him. He wears a human glamour for this (MK figures him out pretty easily but does NOT figure out Wukong's human glamour which is hilarious). Wukong keeps showing up in a human glamour as well just to banter with him. There is some plot development and angst moments involved.

Zing AU: it's been so long since i've thought about this one actually but in this AU Wukong gets cursed while travelling with the gang so that he just. to put it simply has moodswings/personality-swings that are accompanied by his eyes changing colour

Shy!Wukong AU: I only ever wrote one fic for this but I'm mentioning it anyways since I love it so much; basically the years of solitude on the mountain made Wukong REALLY shy. like SUPER shy. and he has a really hard time talking to people (he outright spends his first meetings with MK just leaving sticky notes for him instead of actually talking to him). He'll hide behind trees just to avoid social interaction.

Double Heart AU: Wukong had his heart stolen, literally, like ripped out of him, by LBD. This affects his emotions: leading him to have three different states depending on the time of day; in the morning, he's mainly silent and doesn't talk outside of telling MK what to do, in the afternoon, he acts similar to how he does in the show, but you can tell that he's faking it/that something's off, and in the evening, he becomes a perfect mirror and mimics whatever actions/words the people around him do. LBD used his heart as part of the process to revive Macaque, so Macaque actually has Wukong's heart contained within him, and feels all the emotions Wukong would be feeling if he had his heart. (as in, if MK tells him something exciting, Wukong will feel nothing, but halfway across the city in his dojo Macaque will suddenly feel the emotion of excitement and not know why). Later on, they end up transferring Wukong's heart to him, but for a period of time him and Macaque share it in order to get Wukong used to having emotions again.

Secret Relationship AU: Macaque and Wukong are already dating- but due to a series of circumstances they are outright hiding Macaque's general existence from MK and the others. This is mostly a comedy AU hsdlfkjsdlfs.

Seapearl AU: Wukong was born as a mermaid (or mer-monkey), and Macaque ended up becoming a mer-monkey due to the circumstances of his revival.

Wisp AU: When Macaque got revived, he split in two, the part of him that fully accepted what had happened and forgave Wukong, and the part of him that's in denial of, well, everything + 'hates' Wukong. The side that forgave him is called Wisp, and usually just stays as Macaque's shadow and goes along with Macaque's plans. (Technically, it kinda is more like Wisp is Macaque's shadow than it is one person split in two). Wisp is incapable of speaking until Macaque actually admits/says that he forgives Wukong outloud. (Macaque's hatred of/grudge against Wukong had been literally silencing his forgiveness).

Astral!Macaque AU: mentioning this one despite the only one post about it cause i think it's funny, but basically a version of MK time travels back from the future in order to prevent a really bad timeline- but ended up too early, and ends up possessing Macaque's body (and decides to try and recreate as many important events as possible). Macaque gets knocked out and kinda starts. haunting Wukong, up until episode 9 where he sees himself do stuff and is like “what the fuck who is that. who the fuck is possessing my body. what the fuck dude that’s not your skin get the fuck out who ARE YOU-”

...

ohhhh god i THINK thats all of them?? or at least most of them??? IVE PROBABLY FORGOTTEN SO MANY SHDLFKSJDFLKDS IM SORRY I FEEL LIKE IM FORGETTING MY KIDS OR SOMETHING

IF THERE'S ANY AU THAT I DIDN'T MENTION HERE JUST.... SEND AN ASK ABOUT IT AND IT'LL ALL COME BACK TO ME IM SURE

[dnangelic]

i have no idea if i can express exactly what i'm trying to get at properly but every once in a while i do think about how the niwa are Also dark's own fatal flaw and contamination. obviously it's easy to villainize dark as the only one making daisuke 'worse' (according to standard morals) by forcing his life into criminal behavior and constantly influencing him to steal, but when you strip away dark's being a phantom thief and isolate him he's nothing more than half the kokuyoku, created by the hikari, who also decided to betray said creators as soon as manisumea was broken for letting him out of her labyrinth that one time he was sealed. within dnangel's framework, 'perfection' always belongs to unwilling martyrs and empty, completely inhospitable and uncompromising ideals. it's an abusive, tyrannical framework: krad mocking any sort of sentiment or emotional attachment while constantly whispering cruel things to manipulate those strings, it's fukami completely alone in his destroyed studio expressing himself as a monster, it's hiwatari helplessly suffering against a destiny that's constantly consuming him, or the hikari ancestor lashing out and ripping apart both his artwork and himself for not being able to match his ("sold-his-soul-to-the-devil!" forbidden) standards. it's all about control and suffocation, the lock and key metaphor, the niwas being the keys, the ones with wings; freedom.

the way dark doesn't fit any of this is of course by being capable of love, having 'absorbed' the niwa's love and desire in the first place. the og dark came and 'stole him away', which is also a phrasing he uses in his conversation with baku about daisuke: "this guy's a descendant of the legendary phantom thief who stole away the kokuyoku / furthermore, he's now the great me, the legendary phantom thief dark." dark (or at least mine) definitely acknowledges the hikari as his creators and infinitely respects their artistry (especially when he can't do anything like it himself as the metaphorical death god/grim reaper/hell keeper!) but he's also definitely never calling the hikari ancestor his 'father' or claiming lineage. he's bound to the hikari in noblesse oblige as an artwork, but it's the niwa he truly feels he 'belongs' to, who he's been stolen by, who he exists through, setting him uniquely apart from every other hikari artwork that's born/created 'pure' - which, again, in this series' context, is not good, because said purity equates to loneliness, sorrow, and lovelessness. the effect of dark's temperature as wintry cold is a symptom of being a hikari artwork, but his inner longing for intimacy and his immense, albeit harsh or distant (tsundere) at times kindness, those are things that can only come thanks to being a part of the niwa; the niwa being a part of him.

i paused my grind for my ritsu card just to send you these. ok !! my two main units are Knights and Switch !! Knights are. the fanservice-y guys. all their songs are sung in second person for the most part. everyone is a silly little guy. they got two bpd guys and an adhd guy. their songs are kinda. synthy? but also kinda poppy. but also get kinda softer in some songs. anyway !! im going to. limit myself a little to just. my fave songs.

Knights time!! ok so for like. normal songs i offer you: [Article of faith],[Fight for Judge], [Knights the Phantom Thief], and [Crush of Judgement] (not a knights song, but Knights Killers, which is a unit lead by Leo in one event for the sole purpose of destroying Knights but that didn't work. i can go into detail abt that if you want i love talking abt tsukipi) Event songs i bring you them all: [Coruscate Breeze], [Little Romance], [Mystic Fragrance], [Or The Beautiful Golden Drop] and [Starlight Parade] !!! and solos!!

[kosukeiichi]

What are your thoughts on the w leotard and the w heroine dynamics? (analysis or headcanons, whatever fits)

W LEOTARD .... i've never seen someone call them that before it made me laugh out loud

i'll start with gf army then , umika and tsukasa !! i really enjoy their time together on screen . if we're talking analysis , i guess i can try to find some mirrors here and there . like how tsukasa keeps her interests a secret while umika is more open about it . though granted i have a hard time finding mirrors between them and sakuya and touma . i do think that's mostly because they're not as mentally ill as whatever w red or noel have going tho .

for umika alone , she's probably the one to come out of lupat the best . i mean , she's studying in france now and she seems to be pretty happy with shiho too . it sometimes hurts when i think about how she got stuck in this mess , and how in the end she just wanted everyone to be friends . thinking about it , she sacrificed a lot of her youth to become a phantom thief . and the fact that she was okay with just being a passerby like touma and kairi in the end ... somehow i have a feeling she doesn't really want that . i hope she can bring the group back together one day .

tsukasa is . definitely the most mentally stable out of everyone in the show . literally the best cop to come out of the show , but i don't think she was given much to work with other than being the gap moe competent one . i wish we could've seen more of her relationship with everyone cause right now most of her interactions are just , oh yeah she's the big sister figure to everyone . i think this could've been helped with diving back to her backstory during her academy days a bit more . i like the implied awkward friendship she has going on with touma though !!

about umika and tsukasa as a ship ... i can see the appeal and i don't see anything wrong with it , but it does give me the feeling of " the lesbian ship that exists to bully or take care of the gay ships " if you know what trope i'm thinking about . i much prefer umika with shiho , and tsukasa with none of the main cast because she needs to focus on herself !!!!

( also hesbian tsukasa and nonbinary or demigirl umika is so real don't come at me )

moving on . i like sakuya ! .... if i ignore half the things he did in the show . i think he's a little stupid and definitely immature . like you can see he's competent when he puts his mind to it , but god he does spend a lot of time onscreen just being stupid or creepy doesn't he . i think estrogen could fix him . other than that , i like the character that they gave to him if we ignore all the uncomfortable shit he did . he's clearly got low self confidence , and a bit of an inferiority complex . i feel like the pats really come best as a trio , they're like a little family to me , if only they learned to be more caring to one another . cause i can definitely imagine the sibling-like relationship they'd have with one another .

as for touma ... he's my number one punching bag i love him . i really like the autism they pumped into him and i just can't help but make him suffer a little bit for comedic purposes . though if i stop thinking about him as a comic relief for just a moment i think i'll start getting sad . i wish we dove a bit more into his backstory , i wish we got to see more of him with aya . i think they rely on one another a lot . and idk i love reading into throaway lines , but umika once called out " hey look everyone ! touma is eating !! " now i don't mean to read too much into this but maybe despite being a cook , touma struggles with his own relationship with food or something . we know he started cooking because of aya too ... there's just so much that could be explored then .

some people won't agree with me for this but sakuya / touma is a hilarious ship i love when touma suffers . it's like putting him up max tsundere levels but in the silently i'm going to either kill you or kill myself way . it's even funnier if you consider that aya and sakuya would definitely get along and she'd be like " CAN WE KEEP HIM " . anywayss , i like ayatou if that hasn't been obvious yet . and i think for sakuya ships , i think he needs to work on himself more ...

for headcanons , i'm an aroacespec touma believer , i believe his relationship with aya is so much more than romance , and i really wish we could've seen more of them . also sakuya is genderfluid and bisexual to me , that genderswap episode was really suspicious i think he'd want to get into it again .

i think that's about it for now !!!

Got back in the mood of my favorite magical girl series, the incredibly underrated Kaitou Saint Tail.

Our magical girl, Haneoka Meimi, is a 14 years old girl living in Seika, the only town in Japan where almost everyone is Catholic, and at night she acts as Saint Tail. Now, her peculiar things as a magical girl are the source of her powers and what she does with them: her magic is actually incredibly advanced STAGE MAGIC (though you would be forgiven for mistaking it for actual magic after witnessing some of her tricks like the Saint Tail Parade, and her routinely asking God for forgiveness because "there's no gimmick or trick" makes one wonder), and she uses it to help the helpless... By stealing (the series is called "PHANTOM THIEF Saint Tail" for a reason). If you live in Seika and suffered some injustice, Saint Tail will find out and correct it through some kind of theft.

How does she find out? Well, that's what her friend Mimori Seira does. She's a classmate of Meimi and an apprentice nun (the author admitted she didn't know the difference between a miko and a nun back then), and in the latter vest people tend to confide in her, allowing her to discover the injustices and send Saint Tail in, and sometime help her in the field (usually because she learned from her family how to make sleep perfumes, but has also acted as decoy).

Meimi's love interest is one Asuka Daiki, also known as Asuka jr., her classmate who's the son of a cop... And, after butting in on one of Saint Tail's heists, the one actually assigned to catch her by order of the mayor, courtesy of him coming very close to catch her. It also helps that Meimi, being a tsundere, once dared him to catch her... And that Asuka jr. may or may not have a crush on either Saint Tail or Meimi. The problem is, romantically speaking he's denser than a black hole, enough to completely miss Meimi's feelings, though here we can forgive him, Saint Tail's "theft warnings" being creative and rather transparent love letters, his other classmate Rina being quite pushy about her own feelings, and even HIS OWN until a question from Saint Tail makes him blurt out he's got a crush on someone (and even then he spent a couple days thinking about who this mysterious girl is. Not telling because Asuka has moments with both Meimi and Saint Tail). Thankfully, once it finally dawned on him he didn't waste much time...

I've mentioned Takamiya Rina, the mayor's niece. She initially butts in on one of Asuka's operations because her sense of justice is incensed at a thief having the gall of announcing her imminent theft, but continues because she both gains a crush on Asuka jr. and recognizes Saint Tail as a romantic rival... And having absolutely no sense of measure she's a far greater threat than Asuka jr. (he'd never use tear gas, for example), at least for a while. I won't tell you how exactly Saint Tail scared her off...

Another important classmate is Sawatari Manato, of the journalism club. Being someone who'd do anything for a scoop he was the target of one of Saint Tail's capers... And as Meimi cased the place by asking to visit the club, he immediately fell for her because she was the first girl to care for his interests rather than his (admittedly good) looks. His crazy antics often earn him a punch on the head from Rina.

We've also got Meimi's parents. Her father Haneoka Genichiro is a professional magician and Meimi's teacher (though she had surpassed him by the time she was 13), and her mother Eimi is a retired phantom thief (though not the most well intentioned one) with the name of Lucifer. She retired after meeting Genichiro gave her something better than her constant thefts just for sake of the challenge, and was proud of Meimi when she realized she had inherited her athletic and stealth skills. They're on perpetual honeymoon (as long as he doesn't hypnotize her, for a good reason).

Rounding up the cast we have Asuka Tomoki, Asuka jr.'s father. He's a police inspector, and back in the day was the one assigned to chase one Phantom Thief Lucifer (it's said he was "on the rebound" for Lucifer's sudden disappearance when he met his now late wife), while now he's officially the one assigned to Saint Tail's case (his son's authority is entirely unofficial, he's technically an observer who just happens to have the cops follow his instructions because he's just that good)... And smart enough that every time Saint Tail sends a "theft warning" he immediately starts investigating THE TARGET.

There's more I could tell you, but it could reveal too much, so instead I'll tell you it's really funny... And that the webcomic Megatokyo has two characters who are basically Meimi and Asuka jr. as adults (Sonoda Meimi even keeping her given name and being a retired magical girl and a kleptomaniac, and the author having said that something REALLY close to the end of the manga happened to them), with their daughter Yuki being a major character (and looking like Meimi with black hair and a different hairstyle).

There’s a knock at the door of the classroom, but barely a few seconds pass before the door opens and a single student lets themself inside. Dressed in a simple white suit and black button up shirt, and decorated with a single rose, they certainly possess a more refined and yet somewhat smug air. The classroom is full, and they certainly aren’t in the mood to speak to each person, so Aluin simply approaches the nearest student. “I’m looking for a Ms. Kisarijo, please.” (class-of-mysteries)

“…”

He couldn’t be serious. Another one? What, was Yukie’s milkshake bringing in all the boys to her class? Despite Shinobu’s resolute expression, he was considering saying she was off. He really, really did consider not telling him a thing for a good second. Why would he? This… smug, white suit guy didn’t even deserve the information anyway. …The problem is, she’s sitting right by his side.

“…that would be me, mister. If it is about business, please come back when I’m not at school or contact the police. I only pick cases that interest me so do make it brief for both our sakes.”

May I request the Phantom Thieves boys + Akechi reaction of their persona flirting with their S/O’s persona? Also can S/O persona be Pimpernel? Named after the fictional thief the Scarlet Pimpernel.

Persona Flirting with S/O’s Persona

FANDOM: Persona 5

Character(s): Goro Akechi, Akira Kurusu, Ryuji Sakamoto, Yusuke Kitagawa

Type of Request: Headcanons

Word Count: 509

Note(s): I read up on the Scarlet Pimpernel and they’re so cool. Why are (fictional) thieves so cool?? I also love the trope of Persona/Stand/whatever flirting with the S/O’s Persona/Stand//Whatever because it’s just so funny to imagine.

Akechi

Would definitely be annoyed that his Persona is taking their time with getting a bit too comfortable with your own.

He might be more intrigued if it’s Loki that is doing the flirting. If it’s Robin Hood then Akechi just scoffs. 

But with Loki, I mean that’s his true persona so it’s very interesting.

Would tell you not to think too much on it. Akechi is a tsundere so he’s going to deny the idea of his persona flirting is an extension of his feelings. I mean yes, you’re his S/O so Akechi does like you a lot. But they don’t have to be so open about it.

Probably embarrassed on the inside but gets more annoyed if it’s brought up. Will be heavily resisting the urge to shoot someone if he’s teased (especially if it’s Akira that’s teasing).

Akira

He’s a wild card Persona user so for simplicity’s sake, we’re using Arsene for him. 

Akira is rather surprised that Arsene can act on his own. Usually he has to be the one to issue commands and such to his persona’s, then again this is his first one so maybe that has something to do with it?

But yeah, Akira is definitely interested in watching the interactions between Arsene and your persona. Especially because he wants to see your expression and if you’re embarrassed about it.

Of course Akira is flustered but also happy cause his Persona likes his S/O’s persona? Dynamic duo in multiple ways!

Will absolutely use Arsene flirting with Pimpernel as a way for Akira to approach you to start flirting himself. He’s a dork.

Ryuji

Ryuji is very confused at Captain Kidd’s behavior before his face goes red and he sputters as he turns to you to exclaim that he’s not doing any of this! 

Like Ryuji never hides how he feels about you but he’s a klutz with his flirtation.

Honestly might get jealous of Captain Kidd because why does his damn persona have to be such a good flirt and he isn’t.

Captain Kidd was a pirate so I imagine the persona is rather... explicit with his flirtations which causes Ryuji to be even more awkward.

Ryuji is just muttering cusses under his breath as he takes your hand and pulls you away. If you need your persona’s you both can just summon them later. He wants away from this interaction.

Yusuke

Yusuke is very intrigued that Goemon is showing attraction. 

Yusuke isn’t too surprised as he’s made it clear that he cherishes you so his Persona having similar feelings towards you just adds to that.

Will be very happy if he sees your persona flirting back. Again, his theory is persona’s replicating feelings so to see Pimpernel flirting back makes him pleased.

Might want to stop and sketch the moment out. At least make a basic outline so he can approve on it later. 

Or if you two could stop at a rest spot then that’d be great for him to paint (although maybe don’t stay in Mementos too long otherwise bad stuff happens).

Hi! I read through your blog and i find your analysis so interesting! Personally i like a lot of the characters you criticise and you definetly helped me figure out my mixed feelings or think of a new perspective. (this isnt a bad thing btw i like hearing your perspectives) (Like, i always liked Toga but her character was iffy to me and Shinsou i liked but you made me realise i like the potential of him more than his canon lol)

Anyways, sorry if this is a weird question but who are two characters who never (or very little) interacted in canon that you would like to see interact?

Personally i want Mr Compress and Monoma to interact.

Like i know theyre on opposite sides and have no reasons to but the two have some overlapping concepts. Mr Compress is descended from a phantom thief and Monoma calls himself Phantom Thief and theyre both crafty and sneaky character.

Does it make any sense? No. So i think they would get along? Absolutely not. Do i think it would be funny? Yes. Do I want them to eventually get along? Yes but they would be kicking and screaming.

Its purely self indulgent i admit. Sorry if its annoying but im interested if you have any characters you would also like to see together.

I’m glad to introduce new perspectives to others as that’s what I try to do here! I’m glad people like them! ^_^ And I don't self-indulgent stuff especially when it allows be to be as such. Anyway, Monoma and Compress would be interesting. Both do present themselves as thieves for the greater good and have out-there personalities. I have TONS of characters I wish interacted more. Below are a few off the top of my head but there’s not a lot of detail right now. (Maybe someday…)

Present Mic and Ochako; there’s a set-up for some good interaction as he obviously likes her a lot. No, really. I love Mic’s blatant favoritism with her and I think it would be nice for Ochako to have a personal cheerleader. They also have a lot in common by being the emotional support to underdogs they admire, being energetic, and having a focus on their careers.

Aizawa and Present Mic with Tsuyu; Tsuyu is my favorite candidate for the Maizawa Family child (along with Izuku). Tsuyu not only shares traits with Aizawa but Present Mic as well; All three share bluntness, and empathy, and take care of the ones they love. Tsuyu also shares Aizawa’s rational nature, Hizashi’s supportive nature, along with his ability to see the bigger picture. At first, Mic may be thrown off that he can’t read her expressions but over time he would be able to read her body language and realize her feelings easily. Tsuyu would take care of both the men, however, they never let her take too much upon herself (though it would be hypocritical all around). What Tsuyu has that neither don’t, however, is that she’s able to look at the bigger picture of things logically, whereas they focus more on the emotions of the people they love. Speaking of which;

Todoroki and Tsuyu; These may not show it, but they are very emotional people. They love and care for their friends and basically the mom and dad friends. However, where they differ is their morals. I think it would be interesting to see Todoroki’s ideology of, “screw it, I’m doing what’s best for my friends and family” vs Tsuyu’s “Even though it hurts me, I will put what's right and the well-being of the world above my emotional needs.”

Hizashi and All Might; Shipping thoughts aside, these two have a lot in common, and I believe Mic would be able to help All Might come out of his shell more and help him with understanding people more. (Remember, All Might had to keep to himself for years to keep his secret, so social interaction isn’t his strong suit.) Likewise, I think Mic could use emotional support that isn’t tsundere-ish all the time or snarky.

Midnight and Momo: Both share the fact that they are very secure in their bodies (perhaps a bit too much). It would be nice to show Midnight giving Ochako more confidence in herself as a leader (especially since the manga wants us to believe that’s the case). Also, these two are opposite enough to be interesting as a mentor and mentee, as Midnight is someone very comfortable with her sexuality, and Momo is an Inugene.

Six and Izuku; I’m going to do an entire post on this someday but I think these would be very interesting as enemies.

Knuckle Duster and All Might: Polar opposites, yet they share the fact that they started off as heroes but lost their powers which ended their careers. (I like comedic opportunities with All Might trying to hold Knuckle Duster back from punching someone.)

Makoto and Hizashi: Mic has a busy schedule and Makoto can organize it. That and I believe that she’s one of the few that could handle his energy as she has just as much. If nothing else, she would be a good manager to him.

(Marvels 03-04 React-os!)

Ohhhh, so I guess the mysterious stranger WASN'T a planned part of the fair....I thought he was just putting on a show and setting up a game as just another part of the festivities, but I was wrong... Please forgive my dumbass-ery!

1) Gotta love a good dash of comedic irony! (≧∇≦)

2) This absolutely SCREAMS yokai behavior---what with the near-constant tricks this dude is pulling. But also, it is so funny to think that this Phantom Thief guy keeps targeting Aster specifically XD

3) I...I guess "yuppers" is now a permanent part of Blade's lexicon....

⸜(｡˃ ᵕ ˂ )⸝♡♡♡

4) Honestly, this little exchange is CUTE AF!!!!

It is so endearing how, now that Eiden has gotten to know the bois a lot better, he knows EXACTLY what to say to capture their interest! 😈😈😈

"Gee, this situation sure does sound intriguing! We're learning about something that you, the Exalted Researcher Rei, don't know about! How fascinating! Doesn't it sound so interesting, Rei? Aren't you curious? Hmmmmm?"

(≧∇≦)

5) Rei out here on his tsundere bullshit XD

I headcanon for Rei the same thing I headcanon for Dante:

HE IS SECRETLY AN ABSOLUTE SUCKER FOR CUTENESS!!!! HE CANNOT RESIST THAT INNOCENT CHARM!!!! GET HIS ASS, BLADE!!! ♡♡♡♡♡♡

6) P-Pretty.....♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡

7) HOLY SHIT, SOMETIMES I FORGET, BUT---

REI IS SMOOTH AS HELLL!!!!!@#&$@!!!!!

♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡

Like, DAMN Rei, back at it again with the Top-Tier Flirting™!!!

My mans is a MASTER OF SEDUCTION!!!!!!

(And it's nice to see him using that in a wholesome way, you know? Rather than to make an exchange with someone or to vent out his negative feelings.)

(⸝⸝o̴̶̷᷄ ◡ o̴̶̷̥᷅⸝⸝)

♡ End of report! ♡

Character I really want to bitch about: Akechi Goro P5R. I can't really put it into words but god I hate fandom characterisation of Goro. Not in a "everyone woobifies him" way but "how can everyone ignore the huge fcking handle-with-care sign on him". I'm. Frustrated. Hngh. I'm sure I'm too hyper about this, but just. no. All of the tragedy of his character, his intelligence, his relationship with his mother is almost completely lost in "aggresively-tsundere serial killer". I don't get the need to... dumb him down or make him incapable of love or lacking in understanding and empathy while portraying his rather just anger at the world. His relationship with Ren too, the confusing love he feels and the way destiny works into their relationship to nearly destroy them both. I feel Ren is portrayed awfully... helpless and morally upright wrt Goro. Which does not make for good ShuAke. (They're foils, thesis and antithesis, not... I'm not sure how to explain it honestly). This is why I prefer JP Goro, a lot of nuance is lost in the English translation of the game itself.

(I loved your characterisation of him a lot, I think I sent some anon asks fangirling about your fics.😅)

I recently got into BSD, and I think I'm going to stay away from fandom (esp wrt Dazai) outside of jokes. There is just no trust.

YES I FULLY AGREE (and thank you for liking my fics!!)

i have said this before, i think, but a huge element of akechi's character is that he is deeply traumatized by humanity as a whole. he has little faith in the goodness of people and even less in systems and governments. he doesn't want to be kind to people because it doesn't end well for him. he cannot bring himself to help people because he has to think about how that might hurt him down the line, and no one else is going to think about his pain. also, he is 18. he's a kid! you know who else is a kid? everybody.

one of the best themes in p5 is how every phantom thief has their own traits that are reflected in akechi: ryuji and goro have similar relationships with their parents; ann and akechi are both public figures/minor celebrities with the self-image issues that entails; yusuke and akechi both have corrupt father figures who use them relentlessly; haru and akechi both have fathers who treat them like objects; futaba and akechi are both clever and lonely in their cleverness and unable to connect with other kids their own age. and akira, of course, always akira, but all of them.

any of the thieves could have ended up like akechi, if not for. if not for akira, if not for people who loved them and reeled them back from the edge, if not for each other. akechi is the only person who gets none of that until it's too late for him. of course he's bitter and jealous and hates everyone! anybody would, in his place.

another thing is that trauma just makes it harder for you to empathize with other people because all your resources are dedicated to getting through your own days. akechi isn't inherently unempathetic or incapable of kindness (not that lacking empathy is bad); he's just not in a place where he could exercise those traits even if he had them. he pretty much has to kill - we don't know what, if anything else, shido had to maintain control over him. can you imagine how much worse it would be if he spent time sympathizing with his victims and the consequences of his actions and then had to do it anyway?

and lastly, p5 stresses that children don't get choices. children don't have power in a world ruled by corrupt and callous adults. they have to bear the abuse until the universe takes pity on their misery and grants them a persona - but in akechi's case, a persona isn't enough. his life is still dominated by the self-serving cruelty of adults because it's not just power that saves you, it's also having other people who understand. and akechi never had anyone understand him until long after it would have changed the trajectory of his life.

as for the way akira gets flattened to his moral uprightness - lmao. pretty much the whole point of akira's character is that he would be exactly like akechi if not for, again: if not for sojiro, ryuji, ann, yusuke, futaba, all his confidants, hammering in over and over that what gives him strength is the bonds he builds with other people, and what keeps him moral is those same bonds. he was willing to kill! it's not that he's a better person than akechi inherently, it's just that the course of his life is dramatically different in ways that support him being good. it's a tenuous morality. he does have an internal sense of right and wrong, justice and injustice - akechi does too. it's not what made him good, though.

i didn't realize i still had so much to say about p5! thanks for sending this in and thanks again for liking my fic <3

Charlie Vergier from Rhythm Thief for the character opinion bingo? Thank you!

Okay I was literally listening to the OST and watching the cutscenes from this game yesterday after a long time of not interacting with it beyond @/is-there-a-rt-sequel-yet’s posts. I’m just going through a bout of being freshly obsessed with every video game I have ever played or watched so this is great timing. Also the cutscene where Phantom R meets Charlie at the cafe is the best.

Charlie’s design is very satisfying to me. I love the hat and coat as well as the dark red color. It’s just so perfect.

I love her frenemy dynamic with Phantom R where she won’t hesitate to protect him when his life is in danger but also reminds him that she’d sell him out for a corn chip. It’s kind of tsundere, and I wonder if she’d actually turn him in if she caught him or if he’d just “slip away, oops, so close” because she doesn’t want him to face actual prison and she likes the thrill of the chase more than she’d like the glory of stopping him.

I wish we’d see more of her outside of her “detective work” though. It’d be neat to have some scenes where she interacts with Marie. What kind of relationship would they have? It’d also be cool to have her talk to Raphael out of costume and not recognize him. Could they be friends? I’d like to see her probably hilarious reaction to finding out his identity. What would it take for her to break her tsundere schtick and be genuine? Or see her soft side? At least we see her repair her relationship with her father, which was pretty nicely done imo.

I love the post-canon fan content where she, Raphael, and Marie are a trio (plus Fondue ofc) who all operate together to investigate the main plot. That’s such a cute dynamic. I can see her slowly getting dragged into their bs and eventually just becoming one of them.

Where’s the sequel, Sega? I want character development for the hang-gliding, soccer ball punting, wannabe detective.

If you’re reading this, send me characters from, like, any media I have ever experienced!
