Goro akechi and Yusuke with a really artistic partner. I feel like goro would have their most beautiful drawing ever framed, then next to it is a stick figure he drew with a happy face. Yusuke and them would have cute art dates, especially if they did 3d art, and they could teach each other the art forms they do! Just a thought
anon . . . you have no idea how much this makes me happy!!!!!!!!!!!!! my two loves. . .
AND YESSSS!!!
i absolutely believe mr. goro akechi would be so proud of their partner's work. whatever it is, he will keep it. ranging from something you doodled on a piece of napkin, to something you drew on a professional canvas, he has it. he kind of has like... a shrine at this point. if you gave him wearable art, like maybe a bracelet, scarf, keychain, or something else, he will have it on him at all times. he got lucky once while wearing it that he starts using it sparingly. only using it for times when he needs the luck, trying to preserve it. you assure him you would replace it when it breaks but he waves you off. he will love whatever it is you make, but i have a feeling that even if that one breaks and you make him a new one he will still keep both.
art dates with yusuke <3 <3 <3 i honestly think this will happen 100%!!! i feel like he would take you to all his exhibitions and walk you around and ask you for your input. whether he agrees with your views or not, he will listen intently and store the info somewhere in his brain. he values your opinions and gives great importance to whatever you have to say. if your art medium/expression is different from yusuke, he will find interest in it and would ask for you to teach him about it. there are times when he asks to watch your process as well. if it was the other way around, he would happily oblige!! i feel like if you would let him, he would want to paint you too!! you are his favorite muse. if you wanted, he would do an art collab with you!!

black and russian tea w akechi and yusuke ♡
akechi & yusuke + black & russian tea
persona 5: goro akechi & yusuke kitagawa
Tumblr media
black tea: what do they look for in a person?
russian tea: how experienced are they?
you’ve picked my two favourites. you know me so well
——> tea prompts
Tumblr media
GORO AKECHI
what do they look for in a person?
definitely someone who doesn’t judge, or someone who he just feels safe being himself with
he has to put up a mask whenever he’s in public, so he’d probably love nothing more than to have someone who he can take that mask off with
he would probably also love someone who can make nice pancakes too. i know that joke is kind of overused but i think he genuinely would
also someone that is quiet and not overbearing whatsoever. he hears enough yapping from the girls in school, his colleagues and the news reporters
how experienced are they in relationships?
not at all! he’s never had one and he’s not embarrassed at all to say that. he believes for a long time that he doesn’t need one and he will never have one at this rate
but he seriously regrets not being able to meet you sooner - he doesn’t think he’ll ever meet anyone as good as you, and he doesn’t want anyone other than you
you’ll have to coach him through absolutely everything, given that you’re more experienced than he is. if not, then good luck, because akechi is incredibly awkward and won’t know what to do at all
YUSUKE KITAGAWA
what do they look for in a person?
yusuke doesn’t care for appearances at all. he looks at people and thinks that they’re beautiful, but it’s never due to their face or their body - so, not anyone with an extraordinary appearance
he looks more for someone who is kind to him, someone who understands his points of view, and someone who accepts his strange offerings of soggy lobsters. yes he’ll offer you his lobsters.
if you argue with him on any opinion he has on something to do with art, he probably won’t like you :( he’ll find you interesting for sure, but he probably won’t see himself being attached to you
he also likes people that like lobsters. if you hate seafood (or lobsters) you’re absolutely dead to him
how experienced are they with relationships?
not at all. he has never looked at a person and fallen in love, nor does he have any romantic views on anyone either (aroace yusuke for the win…. but that’s just my headcanon lol)
you’ll have to be very different from anyone else - by that, i mean you’re a lot more than just a muse to him.
you’ll also have to teach yusuke how to be romantic. his idea of romance has come purely from romantic films (which he didn’t show any emotion towards) and from what ren and ryuji have told him

Can I get a phantom thieves reaction to feeling jealousy over their s/o for the first time please? thank you for your work 💞
Anon, you’re brilliant. Jealousy HCs are always fun for me to write.
Thank you for the compliment!! You best be staying hydrated and taking care of yourself.
- Nexus.
Joker { Akira Kurusu }
✧ As the master of suppressing his emotions, Akira knows exactly what jealousy is & how unhealthy it can be. However, despite months of practise he cannot help but pull them away from the person who was making him jealous. It is almost like an impulse.
✧ Very subtly he does this. It starts with distracting the conversation away to something he finds easy to talk about with his significant other & he very slowly starts to disinclude the person making him jealous from the conversation. He is so incredibly subtle that most people do not notice.
✧ Eventually he takes them away, holding their hand the entire time. There is a smile plastered on his face but inside he feels a sense of both pride for taking them away from the source of his suffering & shame for being so irrational. Akira kisses them on the top of their head but if they were to mention him being jealous, he would eventually admit it with a small frown.
Skull { Ryuji Sakamoto }
✧ Ryuji has rather intense feelings about his significant other & if he feels as though someone is flirting with them, he is quick to take action. Though most of the time he swoops in to check how they are doing, he will press a chaste kiss onto their cheek as he leaves.
✧ He tries to be subtle but it is very obvious when he is jealous because he complains about the person immediately after they leave & he vehemently denies any trace of being jealous. Although it is quite endearing, it can be frustrating to deal with.
✧ Talking to him is the key. Promising that they would never leave him for someone else is rather reassuring to his mind & although Ryuji is barely ever insecure about their relationship, seeing other people act flirty { even if unintentional } makes him feel not quite right.
Panther { Ann Takamaki }
✧ Ann often tries to see the good in people at first because she is an optimistic person at heart. However, no one comes between herself & her significant other. Her jealousy can be very dangerous if not kept under lock & key.
✧ Even if it is something rather minor such as accidental hand brushing, she will lean over & kiss them because there is an instinctual need to ensure that no one will steal them because she knows how lucky she is to have them.
✧ Anyone who is perverted towards them must be eradicated. She knows exactly what it is like to deal with that kind of abuse & cannot even stand the thought of her significant other dealing with anything even remotely similar to what happened with Kamoshida.
Fox { Yusuke Kitagawa }
✧ Yusuke is very hard to make jealous because he understands the beauty of the human body. He makes a lot of comments about how people are attractive & does not notice flirting most of the time because he is simply just very eccentric.
✧ Someone who incurred his wrath will be very deserving of it. Although he struggles with some social clues, he is not completely oblivious to certain advances. He will pour his heart & soul into a speech about how they are trying to steal away his lover, grabbing the attention of anyone nearby. It is actually quite embarrassing how boldly he proclaims his love for them.
✧ Afterwards, he places a kiss on their forehead & claims that no one shall steal them away whilst he is protecting them. Just wait until someone flirts with him & he has absolutely no clue what they are talking about...
Queen { Makoto Niijima }
✧ One of the people most likely to be logical & talk things out. If someone were to flirt with them, she would simply approach & tell them that she is their significant other, meaning that they are off limits. It is a methodical approach but it works well to ward most people off.
✧ For some stupid reason if they were to continue with that behaviour, they would face the Fist of Justice. Not literally though, she does not want to be arrested for assault. She would verbally attack them, saying that they are making her significant other uncomfortable.
✧ Makoto does not really get angry because she can see why people would flirt with them? They are beautiful & as long as everyone knows that they belong to her, everything will be fine.
Oracle { Futaba Sakura }
✧ Poor bean. Futaba does not understand a lot of her emotions so when she begins to feel rather weird around someone talking to her significant other, she goes & bothers them, hoping to distract both herself & them from the conversation.
✧ It is incredibly blatant that she is jealous by the way she is so obviously trying to pull them away from the person they are talking to but the process by which she goes about it is incredibly endearing.
✧ Explaining jealousy to her is important. Most of the time it is unconscious but catching her out of it is good because she can be quite clingy.
Noir { Haru Okumura }
✧ Haru is tolerant of most people due to her sweet nature so it is likely that she would not be jealous of anyone. However, in the unlikely event it does ever occur, she has a plan. She will not part with her significant other without a fight.
✧ As a warning, she very casually takes their hand in her own & continues on with whatever is happening. She makes sure that the object of her jealousy can see quite clearly. Despite being an indirect method, the simple action conveys a lot.
✧ If it got particularly bad & there was flirting going on, she would verbally say something. Very calmly, Haru would mention the length of their relationship or something about an anniversary, which would immediately cause them to back down.
& Bonus Character — Goro Akechi
{ I just had a really good idea with Akechi & wrote this as a spur of the moment thing— }
Crow { Goro Akechi }
✧ Akechi is not the type of man to share, especially when it comes to that criminal trash Akira Kurusu. He was merely on a date with his significant other at the arcade when they had ran into each other. It was clear that the interaction was mostly innocent & that they had known each other previously but when they put a hand on his shoulder, something snapped.
✧ Ever so politely, he takes their hand & suggests that they must be going, as they do not often get time to themselves for a date. At some point, he grips their hand slightly too tightly & does not notice until they point out that they are hurting them.
✧ Afterwards, Akechi appears rather embarrassed. He apologises at least three or four times, simply saying that he wanted to enjoy the little time the two of them had together. If his significant other were to tease him about it, he would actually become rather flustered & ask them to stop rather abashedly.

Whenever commie is no longer busy and have time (and ofc would want to write it), would you be willing to make a complete list of those who would kabedon; and the list of "who would and would not say the f/curse word"?
Oh man, you want a complete list? Well, ok, let’s go show by show here, I’m gonna get really lengthy with it. Like, I can’t go through every character in every show, but I’ll hit what I think are the major points.
Fair warning before you mash the read-more: I did, in fact, go through nearly every show I’ve seen. This post is long.
We will start with Kamen Rider.
Kamen Rider 1号: I want you to look me in the eyes and tell me you heard my grandpa say a cuss. Go on. I dare you.
Kuuga
Godai Yusuke: is capable of saying fuck, but does not, because he’s too polite. He might kabedon, but not for any romantic or sexual reasons, just because he likes to be close to people and he gets excited about stuff.
Ichijo Kaoru: says fuck on a regular basis. I think he would kabedon unironically but only in the heat of the moment.
Ra-Baruba-De: doesn’t cuss because it’s beneath her. She’d kabedon Ichijo, but would follow this up with an attempt to kill him.
Agito
Tsugami Shouichi: does not swear and cannot kabedon, although someone else might do it to him.
Hikawa Makoto: might say fuck in a moment of stress, but rarely swears otherwise. He could and would kabedon, but only in situations where doing so would get a comedic result related to his strength and clumsiness.
Ashihara Ryou, the sexiest man in the world: probably swears like a sailor and would absolutely kabedon. The very thought makes me go weak at the knees.
Kino Kaoru: definitely says “fuck,” but I don’t think he does fuck, and he certainly doesn’t kabedon.
Ozawa Sumiko, however: both says “fuck” and does it. She will kabedon, and she will stand on Omuro’s shoulders to get enough height for it.
Ryuki
Kido Shinji: always wants to swear, but doesn’t actually do it. He could kabedon, but only in anger; the thought of doing so in a romantic or sexual context would make him blush and stammer.
Akiyama Ren: can and will say “fuck” at a moment’s notice. You know he kabedons.
Kitaoka Shuichi: says “fuck” quietly, when no one can hear him except maybe Goro. He would kabedon gently and think himself very sexy.
Yura Goro: is a sweet, sweet man who neither swears nor kabedons.
Asakura Takeshi: is saying “fuck” at this very moment. He would only kabedon as a prelude to stabbing.
Tezuka Miyuki: is on this list because I love him, but he does not say “fuck” and could not be induced to. He could be kabedon’ed.
555 (we haven’t finished this one so I can’t guarantee that all characters will be included)
Inui Takumi: I’m pretty sure he could say “fuck” but I don’t think he’s actually inclined to. Kabedon’ing requires a level of investment in whatever situation that I don’t think he’d want to admit to.
Kusaka Masato: oh, absolutely.
Sonoda Mari: swears all the time. Doesn’t kabedon because she expects someone to do it to her.
Keitaro Kikuchi: is a very nice boy who does neither of these things.
Kiba Yuji: contains vast lakes of suppressed rage, and if he says “fuck” even once it might all come out. Does not kabedon for the same reason.
Osada Yuka: says “fuck,” but only in her heart. Does not kabedon.
Kaido Naoya: says “fuck,” but only when he can’t find a more ridiculous option. Absolutely kabedons at a moment’s notice.
Smart Lady: does not say “fuck.” Will definitely kabedon you, and moreover she’ll do it with her leg to make sure that the situation is just, uncomfortably sexual.
Blade
Kenzaki Kazuma: is breathtakingly earnest but nevertheless does, on occasion, say “fuck.” Doesn’t kabedon because he’s too sad.
Aikawa Hajime: has neither the inclination nor the desire to say “fuck” or to kabedon.
Tachibana Sakuya: can say “fuck,” but mostly doesn’t. Also too sad to kabedon.
Kamijou Mutsuki: would say “fuck” to get someone’s attention. He wishes he could kabedon.
Kurihara Amane: is in so much trouble with her mother for saying “fuck.”
Hibiki
Hibiki/Hidaka Hitoshi: is An Dad, and thus is theoretically capable of saying “fuck,” but if he does then it means the situation’s gotten pretty serious. (Or he’s hit his thumb with a hammer.) He can definitely kabedon, but we’ll never see him do it, because that means the situation’s gotten a different kind of serious.
Ibuki: has too much self-control and dignity to say “fuck,” but said it when he was younger. Doesn’t kabedon because it’s just...not the right vibe for him.
Todoroki: has considered saying “fuck,” but the prospect makes him blush. Cannot kabedon to save his life but desperately wishes that he could.
Zanki: comfortable with the word “fuck” but uses it sparingly. Doesn’t seem like a kabedon type.
The Children: Asumu, Kyosuke, and Akira can all definitely say “fuck” just by dint of being high schoolers brimming with all kinds of messy emotions. Kyosuke would definitely attempt to kabedon someone, although he might not do it well.
The Tachibana Sisters: anyone who runs a restaurant can say “fuck.”
Kabuki: like Miyuki, above, is included because I adore him, even though he’s a movie-exclusive character. Definitely says “fuck.” Might kabedon in the process of tricking someone, but wouldn’t do it seriously.
Kabuto
Tendou Souji: feels that saying “fuck” is beneath him. Wouldn’t kabedon so much as he’d very gently brace himself against the wall and lean in, which, let’s be real, is much sexier.
Tendou Juka: you know that comic that people have done all those redraws of? I think this one is the original? This is an accurate representation of what would happen to someone, possibly Kagami, if Juka said “fuck.”
Kagami Arata: is all the time saying “fuck,” at least in his head, but doesn’t often say it out loud because it would draw the wrong kind of attention. Would kabedon Souji, probably, who would be surprised and then quietly delighted.
Kusakabe Hiyori: unlikely to say “fuck,” and if she did I suspect Tendou would take it badly (see above entry for Juka). Might be kabedon’ed, but would definitely knee the perpetrator in the groin.
Kamishiro Tsurugi: my beautiful son does not know what the word “fuck” means, but would definitely kabedon because he’s excitable.
Yaguruma Sou and Kageyama Shun: get one line because they do things together--imagine, if you will, Yaguruma saying “fuck” and Kageyama echoing him quietly a moment later. They would also kabedon together.
Kazama Daisuke: would say “fuck” very quietly. Does not kabedon.
Den-O
Nogami Ryotaro: cannot say any swear words without suffering a potentially fatal nosebleed. May have kabedon’ed once in a dream, but the thought of him attempting it in real life is actually laughable.
Hana: says “fuck” as an adult. As a child, says it more. Does not kabedon, because why bother?
Naomi: can do whatever she likes and I will support her.
Momotaros: says “fuck” regularly and with gusto. Kabedons as a greeting.
Urataros: does not use any curse words because women find them off-putting--unless the woman he’s with swears, in which case he does too. Will kabedon if it is situationally appropriate for getting laid.
Ryuutaros: see, again, this comic, but this time the person doing the shocked face and then later the punching is me. He does not know what a kabedon is.
Kintaros: is probably asleep. Believes that excessive swearing is unmanly. Doesn’t see the point of kabedon.
Sieg: believes that excessive swearing is unfit for a prince, but will very occasionally say “fuck” if it’ll get every eye in the room on him. Unaware of kabedon.
Kiva
Kurenai Wataru: does not.
Kurenai Otoya: does both, vigorously.
Asou Megumi: says “fuck,” doesn’t kabedon. Would encourage someone else to kabedon her though.
Asou Yuri: absolutely says “fuck” all the time, might kabedon Otoya to shut him up.
Jirou: I actually don’t think he swears? Definitely kabedons though.
Nago Keisuke: says “fuck,” but feels bad about it afterwards. Might kabedon from anger, or if induced to by Megumi.
Nobori Taiga: is far too polite to say “fuck,” but occasionally thinks it. Does not kabedon.
Decade
Kadoya Tsukasa: there is no question that he says “fuck” all the time. Not the romantic kabedon type, much to Daiki’s disappointment. May kabedon in other situations, though.
Kaitou Daiki: says “fuck” only occasionally, but with feeling. Would like Tsukasa to kabedon him.
Hikari Natsumi: says “fuck” regularly and energetically. Will sit on Yuusuke’s shoulders to kabedon Tsukasa.
Onodera Yuusuke: does not say “fuck” at all. Cannot kabedon because he is too busy giving Natsumi a boost.
W
Hidari Shoutaro: believes that saying “fuck” is unbecoming of a true man, but still says it if he stubs his toe. Kabedons unintentionally and then blushes when he realizes what he’s done.
Philip: has said “fuck” a total of once and then went down a rabbit hole looking into its etymology. Kabedons intentionally and with forethought, and then completely loses the thread of things as soon as Shoutaro starts blushing.
Narumi Akiko: says “fuck” just to shock Shoutaro. Definitely kabedon’ed Terui at least once, which he was unspeakably charmed by.
Terui Ryuu: is not open to questions about whether or not he says “fuck.” Only kabedons out of frustration.
OOO
Hino Eiji: neither says “fuck” nor kabedons.
Ankh: both says “fuck” and kabedons, and both are generally directed at Eiji. In fact, since he is only a hand, kabedon is an important part of his physical vocabulary.
Izumi Hina: does not say “fuck.” Would break a wall if she kabedon’ed, and thus it’s fortunate that she isn’t inclined to anyway.
Gotou Shintarou: would blush terribly if he ever said “fuck,” or for that matter if he attempted to kabedon.
Satonaka Erika: considers the word “fuck” an important part of her vocabulary, to be used sparingly. Kabedons Gotou, and at least once Date.
Date Akira: says “fuck,” but not in, like, an aggressive way? Just as an expression of mild distress. It does not occur to him to kabedon.
Fourze
Kisaragi Gentarou: is not legally allowed to say rude words. Would kabedon out of an excess of enthusiasm and then be deeply confused if the recipient blushed.
Sakuta Ryuusei: says “fuck” sparingly and only when it’ll have an impact. Does not kabedon.
Utahoshi Kengo: says “fuck” frequently and with enthusiasm. Doesn’t see the point of kabedon.
Jojima Yuuki: like Gentarou, is not legally permitted to curse. Kabedon would not occur to her unless it could be some way related to space.
Kazashiro Miu: says “fuck” occasionally. Kabedons when appropriate, which is rarely.
Daimonji Shun: wishes he could say “fuck,” but can’t quite bring himself to.  Doesn’t kabedon anymore, but he used to.
JK: only says “fuck” deniably. Strictly a receiver of kabedon.
Nozama Tomoko: doesn’t use curse words, she uses curses. Doesn’t kabedon, but appreciates it when she sees others do it.
Wizard
Souma Haruto: definitely says “fuck” sometimes. Prefers a flirtatious lean against a convenient wall over kabedon.
Nitoh Kosuke: says "fuck," but only if his grandma can't hear him--unless there's a notable archeological discovery in the offing, in which case all bets are off. Thinks he's too slick to kabedon, but he's not.
Fueki Koyomi: no.
Nara Shunpei: absolutely not.
Daimon Rinko: has said "fuck" on occasion and would certainly do it again. I can't imagine a kabedon from her though.
Gaim
Kazuraba Kouta: seems like he secretly swears kind of a lot. Does not kabedon because he is, at base, a deeply non-aggressive individual.
Kumon Kaito: says "fuck" at least once a day. Absolutely kabedons, but mainly because he's annoyed and slapping a person seems tactically unsound.
Kureshima Mitsuzane (Micchi): says "fuck" to sound edgy. Would like to kabedon but no one would take it seriously.
Kureshima Takatora: will use the word "fuck" sparingly, and only to indicate that The Situation Has Gotten Bad Indeed. Does not know what kabedon is.
Sengoku Ryouma: says "fuck" occasionally, and with malicious good cheer. Does not kabedon, but if he would like to give it a shot, I am available.
Takatsukasa Mai: says "fuck" quietly but with frequency. Doesn't see a good reason to kabedon anyone.
Oren Pierre Alfonso: only swears in French. Dismisses kabedon as a thing for callow youths, but despite this he did once have a heated dream of doing it to Takatora.
Drive
Tomari Shinnosuke: says "fuck" if he's hit his leg on a table or something, but in more serious situations he does not curse. I cannot possibly imagine him trying to kabedon, it's impossible.
Shijima Kiriko: doesn't swear as much as one might think; "fuck" is for special occasions. Will use a kabedon to get someone's attention.
Shijima Gou: says "fuck" all the time. Would like to kabedon, but hasn't found the right person yet.
Chase: does not swear. Does not kabedon--he's interested in human behavior but that's just nonsense.
Sawagami Rinna: is a professional engineer and thus uses the word “fuck” as punctuation. Might kabedon, but it’s unlikely.
Mr. Belt/Krim Steinbelt: mutters “fuck” quietly when Shinnosuke isn’t paying attention. Does not have arms.
Heart: has said "fuck" experimentally but didn't like the mouthfeel. Delighted by the very concept of kabedon but hasn't done it yet.
Brain: believes that swearing is a sign that you have nothing constructive, intelligent, or amusing to say. Provided Heart with the comics from which they both learned about kabedon, and since then the thought of Heart doing it to him has occupied his every waking moment.
Medic: has thought about saying "fuck" but isn't sure that she really wants to. Stole those comics from Brain and now she, too, would like Heart to kabedon.
Ghost
Tenkuuji Takeru: the thought of saying “fuck” has genuinely never entered his head. More someone who is kabedon’ed than someone who does it himself.
Fukami Makoto: can theoretically say “fuck,” but mostly doesn’t. Would maybe kabedon if the moment seemed appropriate.
Alain: thinks saying “fuck” is sort of uncouth but does it anyway. Wants to know what kabedon is, please tell him about it.
Tsukimura Akari: does not get enough sleep or lab time for anyone to be able to stop her from saying “fuck.” Has kabedon’ed out of excitement, but never for romantic reasons.
Yamanouchi Onari: tries not to say “fuck” because he’s supposed to be setting a good example, but sometimes it just slips out. Definitely doesn’t kabedon, but that’s more out of cowardice than a sense of restraint.
Fukami Kanon: see the comic previously linked to for reference for what would happen if Makoto found out that someone had taught Kanon how to say “fuck.” Reads comics in which there is the occasional kabedon, kind of wishes Alain would do it.
Ex-Aid
Hojo Emu: doesn’t say “fuck” because he works with children. Doesn’t kabedon because it’s not his style.
Parad: absolutely says “fuck,” if only to see Emu drop something in surprise. Thinks kabedon looks fun.
Kagami Hiiro: is too uptight to say “fuck” and too shy to kabedon.
Kujou Kiriya: uses “fuck” as an expression of low-key dismay. Does his best flirting from across the room, but might kabedon if it seemed like the reaction would be entertaining.
Hanaya Taiga: barely even thinks of “fuck” as a word, it’s just a noise he makes when he’s annoyed. Kabedon’ing would require him to get much closer to people than he wants to.
Dan Kuroto: definitely says “fuck,” are you kidding? Even before he was a cackling supervillain he was, at least partially, a software engineer. Does not kabedon.
Poppy Pipopapo: no.
Saiba Nico: says “fuck” all the time as long as Taiga’s not looking. Will not admit to reading the kind of comics where a kabedon might occur, but definitely does.
Graphite: thinks all of this is human nonsense and yet is, despite himself, intrigued.
Build
Kiryuu Sento: probably says “fuck” more than any other main Rider. Yes, even Tsukasa. Is kabedon’ed.
Banjou Ryuuga: says “fuck” because MMA guys have foul mouths, although he did clean up his language a bit when Kasumi was still alive. Kabedons.
Isurugi Misora: if Misora says “fuck” then something terrible is about to happen. Would laugh at anyone who asked if she knew how to kabedon. Would knee anyone who tried it on her in the groin. Kazumi knows this well.
Takigawa Sawa: considers the word “fuck” an essential part of her vocabulary, to be used frequently and sometimes at a great volume. Knows how to kabedon due to spy training but does not use it in her personal life.
Sawatari Kazumi: says “fuck” all the time, unless Misora is paying attention to him. Thinks that kabedon is very sexy and that he’s very good at it; mileage may vary on whether this is actually true.
Himuro Gentoku: says “fuck” softly and solemnly when something really bad has happened. Maybe he kabedons, I’m genuinely not sure.
Evolt: probably does both, but I’m not getting close enough to check.
Zi-O
Tokiwa Sougo: doesn’t swear because it’s not kingly. Does not kabedon.
Myoukouin Geiz: surprisingly, does not tend to curse. Definitely kabedons, not always romantically.
Woz: doesn’t say “fuck,” because there are more roundabout ways to express his frustration. Kabedons, sometimes for romantic reasons and sometimes just to be weird about things.
Tsukuyomi: specifically uses the word “fuck” to indicate that things have gotten serious. If Geiz isn’t going to get around to kabedon’ing her, she’s going to do it to him.
Zero-One
Hiden Aruto: look obviously I can’t really comment on these characters because I haven’t watched that show yet but just from the clips I’ve seen I think Aruto would spontaneously combust if he said “fuck.”
Saber
Kamiyama Touma: says “fuck” sometimes, especially if he’s very tired. Thinks kabedon is kind of a tired plot device.
Sudou Mei: doesn’t think saying “fuck” is that big of a deal, uses it to express irritation. Agrees with Touma that kabedon is overused as a plot device, but likes it nonetheless.
Shindo Rintarou: oh my god no, definitely not.
Fukamiya Kento: uses the word “fuck” the way other people might use the word “moist”--it’s not a word he likes to say, but it has its place. Not generally aggressive enough to kabedon, but might if it seemed useful.
Akamichi Ren: is a teen edgelord and thus says “fuck” a lot. Talks a big game, but is secretly too shy for a successful kabedon.
Ogami Ryo: has tried to clean up his language since becoming a dad and been pretty successful with it. Doesn’t kabedon anymore, but did once.
Daishinji Tetsuo: says “fuck” when he’s working on things. Kabedon generally involves prolonged eye contact, so no.
Sophia: good heavens no, can you imagine?
Tassel: might be a divinity of some kind, can swear if he wants although he’d probably do it in French, but if he kabedons then I’m a walrus. I love Tassel.
All right, that’s Kamen Rider done! Now on to...
Super Sentai
AkaRed: if AkaRed ever said “fuck” I think something in the multiverse would be profoundly damaged--oh, hell, this is how Zenkaiger happens, isn’t it?
Dairanger
Ryo of the Heavenly Fire Star: doesn’t say “fuck,” but you might when you taste his gyoza. They’re the best in the world, you know. It has never occurred to him to kabedon.
Daigo of the Heavenly Illusion Star: is too gentle to say “fuck,” or for that matter to kabedon. (Besides, anyone who tries to kabedon Kujaku is going to be in for some difficulty.)
Bullet Shoji, Warrior of Love: used to say “fuck,” because he used to be in a gang, but doesn’t anymore. Doesn’t kabedon because he tries not to intimidate people.
Kazu of the Heavenly Time Star: doesn’t say “fuck,” he just kinda makes a hiss noise if he’s irritated. Doesn’t object to kabedon in theory but not interested in doing it himself.
Rin of the Heavenly Wind Star: does sometimes say “fuck,” much to her uncle’s dismay. Does not kabedon.
Kou of the Howling New Star: is a horrible child and says “fuck” regularly. Too immature to be allowed to kabedon.
Kakuranger
Tsuruhime: does not say “fuck,” because if she’s mad she can just smack someone. She is fairly sure that people don’t actually kabedon in real life.
Sasuke: has said “fuck” once or twice but mostly tries not to. Too friendly to kabedon.
Saizou and Seikai: get one line because they’re attached at the hip. They are too goofy to say “fuck,” and would only ever manage to kabedon each other.
Jiraiya: not only does he say “fuck,” he will actually be saying “fuck” and not a Japanese equivalent, because he is more comfortable speaking English. I cannot imagine this man attempting to kabedon.
Ninjaman: is tremendously excited to learn about modern cursing, but never actually uses the words he’s learned because his teachers would be mad at him. Naturally too large to practice safe kabedon.
Hurricaneger
Please know that I’m not very far into this series yet, so this is based on fairly early impressions.
Shiina Yousuke: does not say “fuck” but often wants to. Doesn’t kabedon because it seems really aggressive, especially if you’re trying to kiss someone.
Nono Nanami: sometimes thinks the word “fuck” but doesn’t say it. While she’s read a few comics which contain kabedon, the thought of putting the concept into practice has never occurred to her.
Bitou Kouta: would never say “fuck” because children might hear him. Doesn’t kabedon because he’s a gentle soul.
Kasumi Ikkou and Kasumi Isshu: I just met these boys last night but I know in my heart that they both say “fuck,” and moreover they mean it. They also definitely kabedon.
Furabijo and Wendinu: can call me, please, I’m apocalyptically in love with you both.
Gekiranger
Same as Hurricaneger--I’m not that far in, we don’t even have the extra guys yet, but I sure do have some thoughts about the folks we’ve got so far.
Kando Jan: doesn’t even know the word “fuck,” probably has some cute repetitive term for sex that he uses instead. Doesn’t know what a kabedon is either.
Uzaki Ran: may say “fuck” very occasionally if she sustains an injury during training. Not inclined to kabedon.
Fukami Retsu: will pretend that he’s too in control of himself to swear, but does on occasion say “fuck.” Sees no reason to kabedon.
Mele: says “fuck,” but never when Leo can hear her. Doesn’t kabedon, would like someone else (*coughcoughLeocoughcough*) to do so though.
Leo: says “fuck” like he’s chewing on something and spitting it out. Definitely kabedons, but has no idea that this might have romantic or sexual implications.
Shinkenger
Shiba Takeru: does not say “fuck” anymore, because once he said it in front of Jii, who lost his mind. Could kabedon, he’s capable of it, but he’s a little too wound up in himself.
Ikenami Ryunosuke: would never say “fuck.” Not a kabedon type because it seems rude.
Shiraishi Mako: used to work with children, and thus didn’t say “fuck” for years, but now does occasionally--mainly while cooking. Doesn’t kabedon because she has other ways of getting in your face.
Tani Chiaki: is a Gamer and thus definitely says “fuck.” Nonetheless, respects women too much to kabedon them and the only men he might kabedon he is slightly afraid of.
Hanaori Kotoha: is a sweet, precious girl, very dear to my heart, who certainly does not swear or kabedon.
Umemori Genta: only says “fuck” if he cuts himself while preparing fish, or while arguing with fish vendors. Might kabedon to be goofy, but never seriously.
Kusakabe Hikoma/Jii: definitely had kind of a wild youth. Takeru once heard him say “fuck” to a kuroko while working on the clan accounts and has never recovered from the shock. Doesn’t kabedon anymore, but he did once.
Shiba Kaoru: doesn’t actually know the word “fuck” or anything about kabedon, and isn’t going to learn if Tanba has anything to say about it.
Gokaiger--one of the ones I’m sure you’ve all been waiting for
Captain Marvelous: I think we all know that the answer is yes on both counts.
Joe Gibken: says “fuck” quietly in serious situations, and loudly if Marvelous is deliberately getting on his nerves. Does not typically kabedon.
Luka Millfy: uses “fuck” as a general intensifier. Likes guys she can intimidate a little, so she does kabedon, but she mainly does it to Doc and Gai.
Don Dogoier/Doc: if you hear Doc say “fuck” it’s probably the middle of the night and he’s repairing an engine problem. Certainly does not kabedon.
Ahim de Famille: cursing is unladylike--not that she always tries to be ladylike, but she just doesn’t see the point there. Doesn’t kabedon.
Ikari Gai: probably uses some sort of goofy minced oath like “fudge” unless in the actual throes of passion. Doesn’t really have the poise to kabedon.
Basco ta Jolokia: only says “fuck” when no one is listening, because otherwise he might seem less than poised. Would kabedon Marvelous to get a rise out of him.
Go-Busters
Sakurada Hiromu: seems like he’d probably drop the occasional “fuck.” I’m of two minds on the kabedon thing; I think that he could, but I’m not sure that he would.
Iwasaki Ryuji: says “fuck” if he’s working late on some problem. Doesn’t kabedon because he doesn’t want to scare people.
Usami Youko: says “fuck” specifically because it gets Ryuji to make a shocked face at her. Might kabedon if she found someone short enough. She will never find someone short enough.
Nick, Gorisaki, and Usada: no, definitely not.
Masato Jin: says “fuck” with the casual manner of a man who has definitely not just dropped a wrench on his foot. Doesn’t kabedon, but has joked about doing so.
Beet J. Stag (the “J” stands for “Jueki”): says “fuck,” but doesn’t know what it means. Who would he even kabedon?
Enter: only swears in French. Would kabedon with one of his creepy tentacles.
Kyouryuger
Kiryuu Daigo “King”: is a ludicrously perfect shoujo manga love interest, and thus does not say “fuck” but does kabedon in a sexy way.
Ian Yorkland: says “fuck” on dig sites but not in polite company. Might kabedon if it’d make the girl in question smile, does not kabedon men.
Udo Nobuharu: used to say “fuck” sometimes, but doesn’t now that he’s helping to raise Rika. Too busy and tired to kabedon.
Rippukan Souji: is too uptight to do either.
Amy Yuzuki: doesn’t say “fuck,” just makes irritated noises. Might kabedon if it would get someone to stop screwing around and pay attention to her.
Utsusemimaru: is familiar with neither the word “fuck” nor the concept of kabedon, although he might learn about the latter from some of Amy’s manga.
Yayoi Ulshade: says “fuck” when she’s working. Perpetually disappointed that she will never get Daigo to kabedon her.
Candelira and Luckyuro: my beautiful wife and her adorable son have no knowledge of these things.
ToQger
Right, Tokacchi, Mio, Hikari, and Kagura: are all children and thus are barred from engaging with these things. Although I suppose now they’re all fifteen or sixteen, so maybe some of them have started cussing, but I refuse to contemplate it.
Nijino Akira: doesn’t know the word “fuck,” but if he did he’d use it. Doesn’t know about kabedon either, and wouldn’t use it if he did, because that involves getting way too close to people.
Wagon: much like Smart Lady, would kabedon with her leg, but in her case she’s trying to be cute and fun, not creepy. Does not say “fuck.”
Emperor Zett: can in theory say “fuck,” but hasn’t found an occasion to do so. Would kabedon to intimidate, I think he’d kinda puff up like a little angry wren.
Jyuohger
Kazakiri Yamato: will only say “fuck” if he’s just been bitten by an animal he’s taking care of, and even then only if it really hurts. Doesn’t kabedon.
Sera: doesn’t say “fuck” because there’s always something more cutting available. Would bite anyone who kabedon’ed her.
Leo: says “fuck” as long as there are no girls listening. Has been bitten by Sera at least once as punishment for kabedon crimes.
Tusk: says “fuck” about paper cuts, but nothing else. Doesn’t kabedon.
Amu: doesn’t say “fuck” because there are cuter ways to get mad. Doesn’t kabedon herself, but will take any kabedon from someone else as an opportunity to get them to do something for her.
Mondou Misao: says “fuck” sometimes, always apologizes directly afterward. Far too nervous to kabedon.
Bard: says “fuck” at least once a week. Isn’t clear on what kabedon is.
Uncle Mario: you leave Uncle Mario alone.
Kyuuranger
Lucky: does not say “fuck.” Might kabedon in a moment of high spirits.
Garu: is a polite man who neither says “fuck” nor kabedons.
Stinger: says “fuck” frequently. Kabedons with his tail.
Hame: says “fuck” quietly but often. Doesn’t kabedon, and would just vanish if someone did it to her.
Raptor-283: says “fuck” very rarely, but at great volume. Dreams of being kabedon’ed, this is canonical.
Champ: doesn’t curse, and thinks kabedon looks dangerous.
Spada: only says “fuck” in the kitchen, where he can say whatever he pleases, grazie. Could be kabedon’ed.
Balance: says “fuck” if he’s panicking, but only then. Might kabedon for fun.
Naaga Rei: doesn’t do either, and would be terribly puzzled if someone kabedon’ed him.
Shou Ronpou: said “fuck” once when he got his finger caught in the Kyuulette. Isn’t familiar with kabedon, but thinks it looks fun.
Kotaro: is ten years old.
Ootori Tsurugi: doesn’t say “fuck” because it’s not grandiose enough. Definitely kabedons, we see him do it at least once in the show.
LupinRanger Vs. PatRanger
Asaka Keiichiro:  might say “fuck” if he’s really angry, but would feel bad about it. Would blush if he kabedon’ed Kairi, but would still do it.
Yano Kairi: has been saying “fuck” on the reg since he was twelve. Would kabedon to make Keiichiro squirm.
Hikawa Sakuya: might say “shit” on occasion, but never “fuck.” Wishes he was the kind of guy who could kabedon.
Yoimachi Tooma: doesn’t say “fuck,” but does think it loudly. Too reserved to kabedon.
Myoujin Tsukasa: could potentially say “fuck,” but chooses not to. Not a kabedon type.
Hayami Umika: mostly has pretty clean language, but will say “fuck” when she’s sewing, especially if she’s just stuck a needle into her finger, which hurts like a bitch. Doesn’t kabedon herself, might giggle if someone did it to her.
Takao Noël: only swears in French, but does so in extensive and exacting detail. Kabedons, but in a chill way.
Zamigo Delma: thinks the word “fuck” is extremely funny. Would kabedon Kairi to make him uncomfortable, but if Kairi’s unavailable then he’s welcome to look me up.
Ryusoulger
Koh: has never said a swear in his entire life. Doesn’t kabedon.
Melto: says “fuck” often, but quietly, so that the others don’t hear him. Seems kabedon’able to me.
Asuna: doesn’t actually know the word “fuck.” Wouldn’t kabedon, like, on purpose? But she’d definitely do it unintentionally, please see this comic for reference.
Towa: will say “fuck” sometimes if his brother won’t catch him at it. Overconfident enough to kabedon, but I don’t think it’d occur to him.
Banba: says “fuck” if things have gotten very bad. Kabedons only rarely, when he needs to be very serious about something. Yes, sometimes that something is “I think about kissing you with such frequency that it’s interfering with my ability to focus.”
Canalo: doesn’t say “fuck” because Mosa Rex would be disappointed in him. Would never kabedon, if he even knows what that is, due to his overpowering Respect for Women. (It has never occurred to him that one might kabedon anyone but a woman.)
Oto: might say “fuck,” and if she did then Canalo would specifically blame Melto.
Nada: uses “fuck” as an expression of dismay, like, “well, fuck.” Not into the whole kabedon thing.
Tatsui Ui: might have said “fuck” once, but then was so embarrassed that she got a case of hysterical giggles. Absolutely does not kabedon.
Super Sentai is done! That was exhausting! Wow! On to...
Ultra Series
I have seen very few Ultra shows, so this section’s gonna be short.
Orb
Kurenai Gai: doesn’t say “fuck,” does curse in some kind of alien language. Doesn’t kabedon, I bet it’d make him blush, although mostly he doesn’t seem like the blushing type either.
Jugglus Juggler: says “fuck” regularly and with relish. Was once described by someone very wise as having “big kabedon energy,” which is to say, of course he does.
Yumeno Naomi: definitely says “fuck” and doesn’t care who hears her. Will kabedon Gai and Juggler simultaneously, one with each hand, and they will both be impressed and maybe a little turned on.
Hayami Jetta: says “fuck” sometimes, but not as frequently as he’d like people to think. Might try to kabedon, although he wouldn’t necessarily succeed at it.
Matsudo Shin: does neither of these things, as they have no relevance to science.
Geed
I can’t really say much about Geed, since we’re not even ten episodes in, but what I can say for certain is:
Asakura Riku: is too nice a boy to say “fuck” and not intense enough to kabedon.
Toba Laiha: definitely says “fuck” on occasion. Would kabedon with her sword.
Pega: is a child.
Igaguri Leito: does neither of these things, he is a sweet man. And I think Zero would disapprove.
Fukuide Kei: says “fuck” with frequency. I think he would, theoretically, kabedon, but there’s no one on Earth he’d do it to.
Belial: I haven’t actually, like, met Belial, but I’m fairly sure his existence is a concentrated dose of the word “fuck,” in the sense of, “oh, fuck, it’s Belial.” If he kabedon’ed he could destroy the planet, please do not let him.
R/B
I’m even less far into R/B, since I’m watching it by myself.
Minato Katsumi and Minato Isami: they do not.
Aizen Makoto: is too weird to do either of these things.
All right, we’re done with the brief foray into the Ultras. Now, last but very much not least, we have...
Garo
Of which I have only watched the original continuity, none of the Ryuuga stuff yet, so it’s a slightly limited take. However, I love all of these characters dearly, so here we go!
Saejima Kouga: is way too upright (and uptight) to say “fuck.” Doesn’t know what kabedon is, wouldn’t do it if he did.
Suzumura Rei: is a man who swears colorfully and at length and uses “fuck” to add a little bit of pep to things. Definitely kabedons, with varying levels of success depending on who he’s trying it on.
Fudou Leo: is a soft-spoken man, but nevertheless does occasionally mutter “fuck” quietly when he’s working on a Madou device. Blushes and stammers at the very suggestion of kabedon.
Mitsuki Kaoru: might say “fuck,” but only in the absolute heights of fury, which are rare for her. Not inclined to kabedon, but even if she was, who could she even do it to? The shortest person she might kabedon is Rei, who is seven inches taller than her, and it only gets worse from there. She’d need a boost to reach, and my dude Gonza’s back is not good enough for that.
Jabi: believes too strongly in the value of language well-used to say “fuck” except when absolutely necessary. Could kabedon with her leg, probably, and would if she thought it’d be useful.
Rekka: says “fuck” sometimes, mostly to express irritation. Most likely to kabedon with a knife or something.
Saejima Raiga, Mayuri, and Crow: I only barely know these kids but I adore them. None of them are allowed to do any cursing. They do not kabedon.
Madou Ring Zaruba: is a ring, so obviously he can’t kabedon, but he can say “fuck,” and I think sometimes he does.
The Moral Of This Story Is: never ask me for a comprehensive list of anything, because I cannot be trusted to do anything but go completely overboard.

Not sure if u finished Royal, but did you unlock everyone 3rd tier persona (any favorites?) (Planning to do a ng+ ?)
P5R SPOILERS UNDER THE READ MORE!
i did get every third tier!! honestly i really did a lot to be sure to max everyone on my first play through, and with the implementation of the calls at the end of many rank ups plus some rebalancing (at least it felt like it - i remember iwai requiring SO much more bonus points in vanilla compared to royal), it was pretty easy! honestly, the fact that you can max out all social skills and all confidants in the first play through is really nice, and my third semester was left pretty open since all i had to do was nab the third tiers, finish sumire’s confidant...and also max kawakami, since i screwed up and forgot you need to be in school to get her rank 10 lol but tbh i LOVE most of the third tiers! they suit the thieves so incredibly well...celestine and gorokichi are particular favorites, they really hit a lot of aesthetics i love for the phantom thieves! like celestine is probably my number one, everything about her is just plain gorgeous and she looks like a complete badass, she is a perfect fit for ann. gorokichi is just...amazing. everything about him is SO MUCH and i love that over the top flavor for a character like yusuke, how eccentric and ridiculous the entire design is just really works well with him. i also really enjoy william and lucy, like william is completely goofy but GOD if he doesn’t fit ryuji to an absolute t. and i loved lucy’s old school lady spy look, she’s so adorable. i’m a little more middling on agnes and al azif - they’re totally fine, they’re just nothing that blows my mind either, but that’s probably kind of due to the restrictions of them being vehicles lol ella is really beautiful and i love the ghost bride vibes you get, that striking monochrome palette is just haunting and beautiful and very much makes sense for sumire’s story. hereward is another one i’m not wild about tbh - he looks like batman lmao i will say that a dark superhero look is fitting for goro, it’s just not an aesthetic i find myself particularly drawn to. diego is similarly alright to me - i didn’t like him on first glance tbh but getting a closer look at him, with the tattoos and generally fashion of the character, i thought he looked pretty decent. the biggest 180 i’ve done though has got to be raoul - i wasn’t stoked about his design when i first saw him, but playing with him myself and seeing him in-game totally changed my mind. he honestly looks absolutely fantastic!! keeping those demonic features but updating his look with almost a lupin iii type of aesthetic was a great choice, plus the glider-like wings and gold heels keep the flamboyance of the original arsene. i will say i probably still prefer arsene as a design because he’s so hard to beat, but i adore raoul now and i used him almost exclusively in the final battle against maruki...and like y’all a team of akira (curse build raoul for damage, mother harlot with vitality of the tree trait + thermopylae), ryuji, ann, and goro absolutely DESTROY that battle lmao. akira, ryuji, and ann can all baton pass to hit every weakness, destroy the tentacles, and then last baton pass to goro for no sp usage to deal colossal almighty damage was ridiculous skdfhdf so proud of my fav team pulling it off so well ;o;
and i’m already started on a ng+ lol but i’m taking it much slower this time around - i’m making sure to check out everything to catch all the rumors around school/the city and doing a lot more outings with the confidants since i don’t have to be super efficient. i’ll also build up my team again like i had in vanilla, getting a full team of demon personas all built around different affinities (the trait system is amazing for this with things like satan having cocytus, so sp reducing skills aren’t necessary for a slot...and like. allure of wisdom is ridiculous lmao) i’ll probably also spend time building a similar angel team for bad end akira vibes...i just love building personas and rosters, it’s one of my fave parts about a ng+ because it’s so satisfying to do. but yea!!! i really enjoyed myself with the game and i’m having fun taking a slower run through ng+!

Persona  Main Cast Arcana Swap (Spoilers!)
I wasn’t really paying attention to ships and stuff like that while making this, more-so what was interesting to switch. It occurred to me in the planning of the P2 cast that some crushes are canon. But, here we go anyway!
Persona 1
The Emporer - Reiji Kido (Protagonist): A silent boy who lost his older half-brother during his younger years. He carved an X on his forehead using a knife to make sure his parents don’t treat him like he was his brother. The Chariot - Naoya Toudou: The partially-spoiled son of a manga company. An occasional troublemaker, but also a nice person. His crush is in the hospital. The Hierophant - Masao Inaba: A rich young boy who will soon inherit control over a large group of companies called the Inaba Group. He’s spoiled, intelligent and has no tolerance for stupidity of any kind. The Strength - Kei Nanjo: A father-like figure that almost everyone St. Hermelin looks up to. He is an ex-yanki who was reformed by one of his teachers, to whom he has great respect for. The Justice - Yukino Mayuzumi: A girl who likes to make jokes and prank people for attention. Her parents were never really around for her and she was laughed a lot during her childhood. The Hermit - Hidehiko Uesugi: A young boy who has been hospitalized for a little over a year. His childhood friend, Reiji Kido, occasionally visits him and he gets more frequent visits from Naoya Toudou. His father is too busy to visit him. The Judgement - Maki Sonomura: A beautiful and intelligent girl who has come back to Japan from studying abroad. She aspires to travel the world, but wants to stay in her hometown for the rest of her studies. The Magician - Eriko Kirishima: An airheaded girl who hates hearing anything that displeases her. She likes to live in the moment and doesn’t think about her future too much. The Devil - Yuka Ayase: A delinquent who doesn’t have much care for anything or anyone other than her parents, who are poor. She usually plays hard to get but is a really nice person inside.
Persona 2 Duology
The Sun - Katsuya Suou: A delinquent type adult. His younger brother gives him lectures on how he should try and be a better person but he doesn’t care. Hates his brother and his father. The Justice - Tatsuya Suou: Katsuya’s younger brother, a high school student who wants to join the police force to clear his father’s name. Also has an obvious crush.
The Death - Kaoru Saga: A narcissistic young man in his early 20s who runs a band, in which he is called Baofu. He rejected his parents constant complaining on how he should be a ‘Traditional Japanese Man’, but he still has a very low self esteem. The Hanged Man - Eikichi Mishina: A high school boy who is able to wiretap and hack into any known database. He hangs around Tatsuya’s friend group, despite remaining a mystery to even them. He goes by the name Michel. The Wheel of Fortune - Maya Amano: A young woman who was the childhood friend of Katsuya. Her parents are both deceased and she works for COOLEST Magazine. All that aside, she’s calm, collected and likes flowers.
The Moon - Jun Kurosu: A high school boy whose motto is ‘think positive’, even in tight situations. He makes friends easily and happens to forget a lot of things, but is a good person. Also doesn’t believe many people like him. The Lovers - Ulala Serizawa: A hyper young woman who knows martial arts and is a fan of Bruce Lee. Her parents wanted her to be a ‘Traditional Japanese Woman’, but just like Kaoru, she rejected their wishes.
The Star - Lisa Silverman: A high school girl who has bad luck with men and can never seem to find someone right for her. She’s a professional boxer and also sneaks out to drink, despite being underage.
The Strength - Kei Nanjo: A photographer for COOLEST Magazine who was involved in the SEBEC incident. He works with Maya Amano, and with the help of her and his old teacher, he’s comfortable with who he is now.
Persona 3
The Fool - Aigis/Metis: A high school student who came back to Tatsumi Port Island 10 years after their parents died on the bridge due to a fire. Canon is Aigis, which is female, and optional is Metis, who is male. The Lovers - Minako Arisato: A young bubbly girl who likes big crowds. She’s a popular girl at school, unknowingly, and also stays in the Gekkoukan High Dorms. She has a gun holster on her belt and has a brother. Somewhat loud and “obnoxious”. The Magician - Minato Arisato: A young blunt boy who hates big crowds. He’s a popular boy at school, unknowingly, and also stays in the Gekkoukan High Dorms. He has a gun holster on his belt and has a sister. Reserved and introverted. The Empress - Yukari Takeba: A wealthy individual and next in line to inherit control of the Takeba Group. She’s a very intelligent person and many people look up to her, as she is also the student council president. The Emporer - Junpei Iori: A second year that runs the boxing club at Gekkoukan High. He takes boxing very seriously and also finds it a good stress reliever. He’s determined and courageous, and also a good mentor. The High Priestess - Mitsuru Kirijo: A quite and kept-in girl, she serves as the navigator for SEES. Her best friend would have been found outside Gekkoukan High with Apathy Syndrome if not for her. She’s a bookworm and likes sci-fi. The Hierophant - Akihiko Sanada: A shady third year who hardly shows up at school. He only joined SEES for personal reasons which he refuses to share. Has a soft spot for Fuuka, and is good friends with Junpei. The Justice - Fuuka Yamagishi: A little girl who seems to know Akihiko from her past. She’s well behaned and a good role-model for others her age. Despite being 11, she lives in the Gekkoukan High Dorms. The Chariot - Shinjiro Aragaki: A robot made to destroy shadows. He can only develop human feelings through contact with those feelings. He is enrolled in Gekkoukan High as a second year, despite being a robot and seeming more like a third year.
Persona 4
The Fool - Teddie: A transfer student from Tokyo who came to live with his uncle for a year. He’s very anxious in social situations, and arguments between his friends makes him nervous. Has a weird obsession with bears. The Magician - Rise Kujikawa: A goofy and fun young girl. Her parents are the managers at Junes, and she works part-time there. She’s also in Teddie’s class.
The Chariot - Kanji Tatsumi: An intimidating young boy with martial arts skills. He may be buff but he’s not really aggressive. Suggests eating more meat a lot and is good friends with Rise. The Emporer - Yosuke Hanamura: A badass who was able to take down an entire biker gang by himself. Feared by his classmates, but he is a good person. He likes knitting and has more feminine hobbies, he also questions his sexuality a lot. Despite being skinny, he’s a lot stronger than the buffest one in the group. The Lovers - Yu Narukami: A model who is famous for his cross-dressing and his way to charm crowds. He’s very blunt about his thoughts but he means no harm. He’s a fun person to have around, but he already has a crush.
The Star - Yukiko Amagi: A strange woman who came from the TV world. She makes a lot of puns, albeit sometimes doesn’t know what she’s talking about, and is fascinated with the human world. The Wheel of Fortune - Chie Satonaka: A detective who acted like she was male for most of her life. Is only now getting used to being able to freely act like a woman, and is still coping with her identity. She’s logical and the smartest in the group.
Persona 5
The Fool - Morgana: A young boy who was arrested on false charges and sent to Tokyo for a whole year as ‘probation’. Despite all the rumors surrounding him, he’s a good person and probably the most lenient friend you’ll ever find. The Chariot - Haru Okumura: An ex-track and field runner, she hates how adults think they can just lie their way through life and not have any consequences. A good hearted person with a somewhat goofy attitude. The Magician - Futaba Sakura: A young girl who was found trapped in Kamoshida’s Palace. She eventually decided to come over to the human world and take the guise of Futaba Sakura. Kind of annoying but overall understanding and polite. The Lovers - Akira Kurusu: A young boy who was being sexually abused by Kamoshida, as for a while he kept telling everyone and himself he was female. He eventually came out as a male publicly, despite being a bit nervous about it. A strong-hearted individual. The Emporer - Ryuji Sakamoto: A young painter who seems to think Akira is still a girl, despite him publicly stating he was male. He’s polite but also poor, so he starves himself a lot which explains his slim yet tall figure. The High Priestess - Ann Takamaki (P5)/Kasumi Yoshizawa (P5R): The student council president of Shuujin Academy. She keeps up her polite and obeying act in public, but when she’s with the group she’s an absolute unit that no one dares cross. The Hermit - Goro Akechi: His father runs the coffee shop which Morgana is in, and he also has an obsession with video games. He serves as the navigator for the group. He is reserved and hates going out in public. The Justice - Yusuke Kitagawa: A young and upcoming detective. He may be polite in public, but he’s really a sociopath who will murder anybody and anything that upsets him. The Faith - Ann Takamaki (P5R): An elegant and intelligent young girl, who gets the top score at Shuujin, which is why she was offered a scholarship there. She’s actually very stressed out and often becomes depressed for no reason.

What do you think will be the PT’s reaction when they find out that Byleth and the lords are not who they think they are? (Betting all my coins that Ren, Haru, Yusuke, Makoto, and Goro will feel the most betrayed)
So the suspicion begins after Futaba joins when she does a quick background check on the Lords and Byleth and finds absolutely nothing. Like it literally looks like they just showed up, paid the school a butt ton of money and then were enrolled and there’s nothing before that.
And. Ok that’s a little weird, but surely there must be some explanation? There might be a reasonable explanation
But then, Kobayakawa dies, and they know it’s because he had some connection to the conspiracy, and like shadowy conspiracies tend to be very rich and they did start at the school right when the Conspiracy moved into the final part of their plan so..
They can’t rule out the possibility that the lords, Yuri, and Byleth have some connection to the conspiracy, especially when they get framed for murder.  And there are definitly many feelings. In particular
Ann, Ryuji, Morgana, and Futaba are suspicious and feel betrayed and Ann and Ryuji are like, the most openly hostile towards the lords and Byleth
Makoto is feeling a lot of things. She and El started out as rivals who were always trying to compete and one up each other, and she thought they’d worked out and were friends, and now it’s very likely El was playing her all along, so she reverts to giving El the cold shoulder and acting more like she did earlier in the year. 
Haru was friends with Dimitri way before she joined the Phantom Thieves and then she joined and they told her to be somewhat wary of the foreign exchange students and Haru didn’t really believe them. Because Dimitri’s so nice and soft and they plant things together. And then Haru’s dad dies. And his to do with the conspiracy who killed Kobayakawa, and they don’t know how he got involved, but a mysteriously large donation and the enrollment of three new students and a new teacher is way to much of a red flag to ignore, and and! Haru became a Phantom Thief to help people! Even if they were on the wrong side of law they helped people, and Dimitri believed in that too! He was always talking about helping the down trodden and protecting the weak! Was that a lie? Was all of their time together just... meaningless? Haru won’t look Dimitri in the eye and actively avoids them.
So, Goro’s the last person to learn that the lords and Byleth and Yuri are sus and like. When he first hears that, he tries to write it off. He knows Yuri isn’t working for the Conspiracy, that’s him. This is good news for him actually, because that means the PT’s attention is elsewhere. Except... if Yuri were part of the conspiracy was he there to keep an eye on Goro too? Does that mean Shido doesn’t trust him? Shido has to trust him, because Goro’s plan is only going to work if Shido trusts him so Goro can pull that out from under him. And for it to be Yuri, who Shido has keep an eye on him, Yuri who is too damn similar to Goro for his own liking sometimes. That stings. Because Goro liked Yuri a little bit. Goro felt like he could open up to him. And it’s ok if he feels a weird connection with Ren because they’re like. Fated Rivals. Yuri is just a guy. A guy who walked into Goro’s life, who Goro likes and finds funny, and should not be able to hurt him this month. So Goro starts avoiding Yuri as well, and the next time he sees him, he’s going to put a cap in his head.
Ren admired Byleth a lot, as a teacher who seemed to like, genuinely care about their students. Maybe it’s because Byleth’s so much younger than the other teachers, but Ren got the impression that they genuinely wanted their students to succeed and didn’t care about their reputation or making the school look good. That they were genuinely angry for Shiho and Mishima and genuinely wanted to help the random highschooler that they met at an art gallery, and was genuinely willing to fight the mafia for their students. Except it was all an act. And Ren just hast to laugh at that because all this time he thought he wore the most masks, but he has absolutely no idea what Byleth is actually thinking, what they actually plan to do. So he puts up his own mask and falls back a bit. He’ll help Byleth with work, but they’re not chatting anymore, he doens’t go to tea time. There’s a distance there now
And last but certainly not least, Yusuke! Yusuke knew what he was getting into with Claude. Literally the reason he asked Claude to model is that Yusuke didn’t really get the craze surrounding the “mystery” of Sayuri (he was always focused on the beauty of her expression) until he saw Claude and sort of got it. Got the appeal of something mysterious and wanting to know what made it tick. And Claude has never been subtle about this either! Claude is always talking about being a schemer so. So Yusuke SHOULD NOT BE SURPRISED BY THIS. Literally, he just went through this with Madarame, he knows just because acts kind and sweet that doesn’t mean they are (even though Claude’s kindness was always different than Madarame. Claude never made Yusuke feel like he owed him anything) and he let himself get fooled again. Yusuke does his best to avoid Claude too, which is both easier on the account that they don’t go to the same school, and harder because Claude isn’t going to take them giving the lords the cold shoulder without some sort of explanation

for the 'what's your fave ask....' what is your fave persona, and who is your fave phantom thief!
God, there's way too many Personas to pick a favourite... I can't even remember all of them... When it comes to random ones, I like Neko Shogun, Ame-No-Uzume and all the Jacks (They're all lil cutie-hees, ho) just 'cause I love their designs. And then I love Alice, Seiryu and Yoshitsune for just how op they can be.
And then if we're talking character's personas, Arsene's gotta be up there. Gotta love Mr. Knife Shoes. And I love Milady because of the entire arsenal of guns. Orpheus and Konohana Sakuya are beautiful. And I really love Helios, just 'cause I find it's design funny through context (The context being Katsuya absolutely adores cats but is extremely allergic to them)
Aaaaaand favourite thief would have to be between: Ren, Ryuji, Yusuke, Futaba or Goro. It depends on my mood at that moment in time.

like yesterday, here's a bullet list of my thoughts for episodes 18~21
thoughts on episode 18:
oh no, it's the beach episode.
-- i really like how they show the way the PT take care of futaba. ren patiently cleaning up her room in between hours at the florist, them playing vidya with her, or just having lunch together in montage moments is very sweet. it makes me wish the anime had much slower pacing, more slice of life-y kind of drama.
-- watching yusuke, ryuji, and futaba lose their freakin minds over good curry is VERY relatable.
-- i still don't understand why ann and makoto thought that a two piece frilly bathing suit was the way to go with futaba. a one piece that she could wear under a long wrap or a hoodie would've made so much more sense... but >male gaze
-- have i told y'all how fucking tired i am of the sexualization of the teenage girls in p5 yet, and how it is one of the several things that fuckin ruined this game for me
have i?
well here it is again
none of the previous games were as bad as this b t w and p4 had one of the dungeons be a STRIP CLUB.
-- yusuke and his lobsters are wonderful.
-- oh god i forgot COMPLETELY about the whole 'mental shutdowns' thing in this game's plot. i think because it's all so pointlessly convoluted. p3 had something similar but even there it was just people turned catatonic for weeks on end when the monthly boss-shadows drew near.
i think the reason i find this so hard to understand is because from p3 to p4 the rules of shadows didn't really change so much. p3 had the persona users go up against shadow bosses; p4 had people confront the shadows within themselves, either accepting them completely (which then turned into persona), or the shadow 'absorbed' the person and ran rampant as a monster. neither of those rules really contradict each other, but in p5 personal shadows for persona users are gone completely, and how you deal with other people's personal shadows doesn't even involve them being present to complete the merge.
mona says that persona users can't have palaces, but persona users in 4 could and DID have 'dungeons' within the shadows' worlds. these dungeons dealt specifically with what was at the core of the shadows' emergence--a deep secret and a hidden truth that caused the shadow to grow, a place that was a replica and a distortion of reality based upon that suppressed truth. so that sure sounds like a fucking palace to me.
so....................... unless there's like, multiple realities folded into our own, and persona users can only access certain ones.................. i'm just super confused.
like, i know it's because the rules change game to game, but p3 to p4 didn't have any contradictions, and p2 didn't contradict anything in p3, either. it just went from a full party of wild card users to a singular one.
-- i'm glad ann's getting a little screentime here. i was just thinking about how other characters' development was lacking after makoto and futaba got so much focus.
-- mona's so sweet to ann ;-; now that he has a human form in p5r, i hope they become really good friends. she needs a kind guy friend that'll be reliable~ plus he makes her laugh.
-- sojiro talking about the anniversary of wakaba's death is......... really interesting........ considering that screenshot of futaba sitting next to a woman with the exact same haircut as her "deceased" mother.
-- ren reassuring mona that he absolutely has to be human, that he will return to who he used to be once they figure out what's happening in the metaverse is jsut jdfklasd
AND HIS LIL ROUND OF APPLAUSE WHEN MONA TALKS ABOUT ALL THE THINGS HE'S GOING TO DO TO KEEP THE WORLD SAFE ;-;
AND THAT SHOT OF HIM SLEEPING CURLED UP ON REN'S STOMACH
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
-- listen i know mona isn't rly a cat but he's the BEST cat
thoughts on episode 19:
oh it's the hawaii episode.
-- man what the hell kinda budget do these school's got that they can just go overseas with dozens of students on a yearly basis? that's impressive.
-- ryuji: "whoa, awesome! ..... i don't really get it, but awesome!" fjdsafds okay that got a laugh outta me. good one, ryuji.
-- ren: "i'm excited, too." (said in a monotone) fjklsadsl BLESS THIS BOY
-- ren's FACE when he learns that futaba installed a spying app on his phone and can hear him/see pictures he takes is...... kind of hilarious. especially if you have the headcanon that he and akechi send dumbass snapchats to each other a lot--which i do. and which you do now, too.
-- mona's depression is ten times more sad because he's a cat okay :c why they gotta make the cat so cute
-- ren, ryuji, and ann's lil sleepover is adorable. especially since ann chastises ryuji for not knowing one of the basic rules of a sleepover: if you start talkin' about your crushes, you gotta start with your own~ thems the rules lads
-- rip principal bloatneck.
-- honestly that truck shoulda at least TRIED to stop.
-- "A LO HA." goddammit that's adorable
AND HE GIVES THE LEI NECKLACE TO MONA FJDSKFJDSKL ren you're so SWEET.
-- I TOTALLY FORGOT THAT MONA CALLS SAE "ONEE-NO-NIIJIMA" FJADSKLFJDSKL ahhhh it's so cute.
-- the PT targeting okumura, who is essentially the dave thomas with political ambitions of the persona 5 world, is far funnier now that i phrase it like that.
-- ANN, OF ALL FUCKING PEOPLE, SAYING THAT THEY PROBABLY BROUGHT THIS RECENT TROUBLE ON THEMSELVES, IS A FUCKING STUPID WRITING DECISION. I CAN'T BELIEVE SOMEONE DIDN'T LOOK AT THAT AND GO, "ANN WOULDN'T SAY THIS. ANN HAS NO REASON TO SAY IT." god. lmao PLEASe let p5r be a goddamn second draft.
-- mona's totally right that ryuji's just concerned with getting popular and his dick wet. like,,, that's why this argument only made me hate ryuji more than i already did. he gets pissy when mona points out the truth.
god he sucks lmao
I'M SORRY I'M SO SALTY YOU GUYS
LOOK I'LL SAY SOMETHING NICE: SAE AND AKECHI ARE COOL
-- i really like how guarded akechi's face looks in his conversation with sae, and how off his guard he looks when she tells him that she's not going to hold back, especially since the culprit is doing such dire, awful things. he's not exactly surprised, but he's definitely uneasy and shaken by what he hears. which makes me wonder who he’s really concerned for--himself, or for ren (and the PT by extension, but akechi only really seems to care about ren, so).
the reason i like that is because the okumura arc in p5 is really where akechi's mind starts its downward spiral. principal kobayakawa's death obviously rattled him, especially since the only reason the principal died was because shido saw him as useless and disposable, something akechi is desperate NEVER TO BE. and it's that + what happens with okumura that really kicks him over the edge.
i hope p5r will give us the chance to pull him back from it. he deserves a better chance than the game's subpar writing gave to him.
thoughts on episode 20:
-- ren wakes up in a panic because he thinks he sees mona on his bed ;___________;
-- goro snoopin' on the PT's LOUD, TOTALLY CONSPICUOUS conversation in front of okumura foods' HQ is kind of adorable if you remember he clearly loves star wars (HE HAS A LIGHT SABER), and the camera cuts to his face right as they're talking about big bang and outer space lingo.
-- oh, haru. i really wish you were the black mask. that would've been so much cooler--and an actual twist. her total hopeless panic about being a beauty thief could still be a thing (because it is actually endearing), it'd just be an act. but that's me talkin' fix-its again.
-- i really like the scene of haru defending mona to the PT on the rooftop, then cutting to show just how strained her relationship is with her father. she exists to be useful to her father's ambitions and nothing else, and that scene really drove home just how painful that is for her.
-- REN TWIRLS HIS HAIR BETWEEN TWO FINGERS WHEN HE'S DEEP IN THOUGHT. AHHHHHHH I FORGOT HE DID THAT
-- oh hey remember how the game went through the trouble of showing how haru's fiance is a sexist, violent, animal-hurting piece of shit and then promptly failed to actually separate her from him in game (i think you only can do that in her s-link?? the s-link you can barely finish in your first run of the game??), and in t hEN SHOWED HER IN THE CAR WITH HIM LATER, LOOKING HORRIBLY UNCOMFORTABLE?
god this story makes me so fucking mad lmfao STOP PUTTING GIRLS IN PHYSICALLY OR SEXUALLY VIOLENT PERIL AND NEVER ACTUALLY ENSURING THAT THEY'RE SAFE, YOU DAVID CAGE LEVEL OF HACK BULLSHIT WRITERS.
-- ryuji running into the attic, all worried about mona, with a first aid kit, is..... very good. very good and endearing. good on you, ryuji.
-- haru gently encouraging mona to tell the truth is also really good. idk if i just missed it in the game or what, but i really like how she's presented in the anime. she's like a counterpart to ren--soft, sincere, observant, patient, yet she's made of pure steel beneath all that.
thoughts on episode 21:
-- WHY WAS HARU'S GRANDFATHER GIVING COFFEE TO A FIVE YEAR OLD
-- haru, the reason your father's heart grew twisted is thanks to capitalism. you gotta change the heart of capitalism.
-- not to be all poochie here but whenever akechi isn't on screen, all i can ask myself is whERE'S AKECHI?
-- HOW CAN I TAKE THE EVIL DAVE THOMAS SERIOUSLY WHEN HE'S DRESSED LIKE FUCKIN MEGAMIND?
-- okay see this is where i'm thrown completely out of the story or even really liking haru. haru just listened to her dad's shadow saying he would PIMP HER OUT TO HER FIANCE WITHOUT A SECOND THOUGHT. and she still is just like ~no i want him to go back to being kind~
bitch are you nuts
are you NUTS
youR DAd SHOULD DIE AND YOU'D BE BETTER OFF
CONSIDERING HOW THE GAME GOES, YOU ARe BETTER OFF
god. i'm getting so mad again lmao
-- ren approaching haru to point out that if the truth of her father's crimes comes to light, she'll forever be associated with him (and with all the harm and ruined reputation that brings) is, once again, further reminder of just how... damn good ren is. he doesn't hesitate to speak from the heart nor does he ever fail to listen to someone else speak from theirs.
-- also not for nothing but uh
how did the cops not like
figure out how the PT phan-site was set up within the first few months and track it down to mishima? was that ever addressed at all?
-- honestly another reason why i get so fucking mad about this okumura stuff is the game goes SO FAR OUT OF ITS WAY to make you feel BAD that he died, when he was by all rights a fucking shitheel monster, yet when akechi dies it's like 'oh well. that sucked.' fuck off, atlus. the death of a greedy, heartless CEO isn't more sad just because his gaslit daughter is conditioned to be sad about it.
i understand that a large part of the shock after okumura's death is because the PT don't know if they did anything wrong. but okumura was in no way a good person. he was in no way a person whose redemption overruled all the hurt and harm he did. that has been the case for EVERY PT target before this, so why the fuck is okumura suddenly so different? why SHOULD he be?
the difference between him and, say, akechi is that okumura et. al. all made those choices on their own to do terrible things. they delighted in it, they enjoyed it. but akechi, much like futaba, was forced into a cycle of self-destruction--it’s just that in futaba’s case, her self-destruction targeted herself, and akechi’s was quite literally weaponized and used against others. he approached shido as a young teenager and was then used by him for years.
a teenage boy being used as a magical hitman by his shitlord father is far more deserving of sympathy and redemption than grown adults who willingly make the decision to harm, abuse, and prey on others. but no, the game didn’t want to do that.
this is another big problem i have with p5's second and third acts: it's so tonally dissonant and sloppy. it's like they didn't try to actually be as rebellious and hellraiser-y as the first act WANTED to be, and it all ends up being such a limp-dick shriveled mess of "let's fight against this rotten society!! ......... as long as it in no way actually upsets anyone or does any REAL change." fuck off lmao
that's not me even commenting on the "twist" and how it needed to be explained MULTIPLE TIMES to the player for it to make any sense.
and it still doesn't make sense to me btw.
so that's another thing i hope p5r fixes.
-- rip evil dave thomas megamind.
-- akechi floating the idea to sae that the phantom thieves had nothing to do with okmura’s death is............................ interesting.

Ok but I'm vvv curious to hear your take on goro + pt members hcs ? 👀
ohhh I GOT YOU, honestly there was a lack of goro and other thieves interactions, even his interactions with akira don’t happen enough as they could have potentially
wasted potential atlus, wasted potential
PTs and the Goroboyo, headcanons:
he and ann share a love of sweet goods, so naturally ann and goro take eachother to their favourite dessert places, and share their recommendations. they’ll get one of those massive sharing platters between them and sit for hours just chatting and dissecting the desserts (all for the food blog, yeah sure thing). also, they’ll bitch about media sources a lot, because ann’s in the model industry and goro a celebrity detective, so they share a hatred for demanding directors and pushy media-focused adults
of all the thieves, it takes ryuji the longest to really warm up to akechi, and with a bit of akira assistance, they start hanging out together. they’re both quite active, if in different ways, and so they start sharing exercise routines. ryuji refuses to do the early-morning cycling that akechi does, but is more than happy to try out rock-climbing. they always race to the top, and everytime akechi beats him- ryuji isn’t impressed and starts training to beat him, in secret. after that, ryuji will drag akechi to the beef bowl place or some other place for food. he really helps akechi to be that bit more impulsive, and less composed
it’s yusuke who introduces akechi to his artwork. akechi was absent-mindedly commenting on the beauty of the true sayuri one night in leblanc, and yusuke latched to it immediately. they talked for hours as akira smiled and refilled their coffee, akechi being educated on some of the intricacies of art. akechi finds he quite likes visiting art museums, and entertaining himself with the mystery of the stories behind various paintings- and yusuke is the first to indulge in his wonderings and theories about the artists
makoto and akechi may as well be siblings, i’ll just throw it out there. they share interests and some values, but at times their competitiveness can drive the other thieves crazy, but there’s no stopping them from it. makoto did mention in the game they had a rivalry of sorts, but to stretch that canon, their competitiveness can range from investigation work, to video games, or even grades in school, with the occasional taunting comment thrown in between. but, when they work together, they’re quite the force to be reckoned with. they’ll study together often enough, or solve complex puzzles in sae’s living room while she prepares dinner (Sae’s got two younger siblings now and i can’t be convinced otherwise), working into the early hours- it drives Sae crazy
futaba is an absolute memelord, and akechi quite frankly never understands half her pop culture references in the groupchat (because that is definitely a thing) and futaba becomes determined to introduce him to modern culture. they binge-watch everything from the disney classics to comic films, sometimes accompanied by akira, and akechi is caught up on all the things he’s missed from his childhood or from his inability to look into it himself due to having a busy schedule. he’s learning the art of the meme, which isn’t helped by the endless shitposting in the groupchat from half the pt, but he understands it more than yusuke, which is something
hanging out with haru is always a peaceful reprieve from his busy schedule for akechi. they’ll spend a good part of the day gardening or haru will let goro sample some of the sweet desserts she hopes to one day serve in her cafe, she claims it’s nice to get some feedback from someone with a food blog. akechi says once she gets her cafe set up, he’ll be the first to make a review
morgana was a bit wary of akechi too in the start, best the two get in the beginning is sitting next to eachother in leblanc at night, as akira practices his coffee skills. but eventually, morgana starts to notice the all-too familiar dark circles under akechi’s eyes, and yells at both him and akira to go to bed- there’s no escape for akechi now. he has a permanent sleep monitor. from there, the two share nice conversations in leblanc, and they both get really excited at the prospect of going out for sushi. as it happens, akechi isn’t the biggest fan of fatty tuna, so he’ll share it with morgana
oh is one bulletpoint even enough for akira? ah well, let’s do this. akira is goro’s main supporter through it all, and most nights in leblanc are spent with them both sat together over cups of coffee, talking late into the night. sometimes it’s absolutely mindless chatter from two dorky teenage boys, othertimes it’s deep philosophical conversations they share opinions over until morgana demands they go to bed. also, as is the same with all his friends, akira keeps a close eye on akechi and his health. if the detective’s eyes are too droopy, akira encourages him to take a nap. if he hasn’t eaten all day, akira will prepare curry or take him out for something. akechi gets invited to pt study times, and slowly akira helps him become more sociable and integrate with the other thieves, he’s the cause of akechi starting to have those hang out times with the other thieves- helping him form bonds with people his own age, to let loose and have fun, learn that not everything is about pleasing adults and being a perfect detective for the public. akira saves him, in more ways than one
wow that ending got a little sappy, but ah well! there be my main headcanons for goro and the phantom thieves. honestly it’d be really interesting to see akechi hang out with the thieves more….oh atlus, so much wasted potential

Connections, Part 7
Previous
.
The Thieves gathered in Leblanc’ attic on the next day; instead of finding Akira waiting for them, they were met with the sight of Goro sitting cross-legged on Akira’s bed.
Goro sent them all a searching look and pointed towards the table off to the side, already prepared for the gathering. The Thieves quietly settled around the table.
Honestly, Ann felt like she was about to be scolded and grounded.
Goro walked towards them until he stood in clear view of all of them and sighed tiredly.
“This brings back memories of that conversation we had with Ren before leaving for Hawaii,” Goro started, “I don’t think any of you would forget that particular conversation anytime soon. On the topic of stealing Okumura’s heart- as much as I would love to start working on it, we can’t at the moment. Our goal isn’t to pander to the public’s desires- something we’ll definitely be doing if we listened to what they say and changed hearts to their whims. If we’re going to be changing Okumura’s heart, then it’s going to be on our terms, not just because someone said so.” Goro paused to observe their faces, Ann didn’t know what he found, but it must have satisfied them, “I’m glad we all understand that point. We’re rebels after all, not circus monkeys.” Goro smiled widely and Ann smothered a laugh- he was right. The other Thieves shared smiles.
“Now that that topic is out of the way, let’s move on to more important matters. Morgana.” And the lighthearted mood vanished, replaced by tension and worry.
“While I expected we’ll be having our fights with each other- we are a group full of diverse personalities, after all- I did not expect it to cause a rift between us. One great enough to drive one of the members to leave. And not just any member, it’s Morgana who left.” Goro frowned, “Morgana who is the sole reason the Phantom Thieves of Hearts exist in the first place.”
Makoto blinked at Goro in confusion, “What? I know Morgana is one of the ‘founding’ members of the Thieves, but what’s this about him being the reason the Thieves exist?”
Goro sighed and took a seat, “I haven’t told you all about this and it’s about time I do, given the circumstances.”
The Thieves leaned forward to intently listen to Goro speak, “I only told Ryuji about some of these details due to how he ended up in the Metaverse for the first time.”
“That’s true,” Ann said, “You never told me how you first got into the Metaverse, Ryuji said that he was accidentally pulled in when you entered Kamoshida’s Palace, but beyond that…”
“I’ve had the app on my phone for more than two years now,” Goro declared, earning shocked looks the rest of the Thieves, “And I’ve been into and out of the Metaverse frequently during those years. You have all mentioned to me how I seem to have more experience in wielding my two Personas, and handling Shadows. It’s because I have been doing it for a couple of years now, before I even started working as a detective, even.
“I didn’t have much in the way of information about how things happening in the Metaverse could affect reality so I had to tread cautiously. I’m lucky I didn’t accidentally cause mental shutdowns during those years.”
“Then how did you figure out to avoid killing the shadows? Or did you not and it was just a precaution from your side?” Makoto inquired.
“…something happened…” Goro trailed off slightly, his gaze distant, “You heard about the rampaging incidents more than a year ago?”
“Yes, what about it?”
“You know how Loki can induce a state of berserk rage as one of his skills?”
“Ye-“ Makoto cut herself off with a shocked look, “You don’t mean to say…”
“That you’re the one responsible for the rampaging incidents?”
Goro scratched his cheek and coughed into his sleeve in embarrassment, “Indeed I do, Makoto, Yusuke. And due to that, I wondered if other things I did to a person’s Shadow could affect them outside the Metaverse, and so I decided to do my absolute best to avoid killing the Shadows. Knowing what I do now, I’m glad I came to that conclusion.”
“Why did you cause the rampaging incidents?” Futaba cocked her head to the side in curiosity.
“It… was the only thing I could do.” Goro leaned his head on his fist, “In the Metaverse, I mean. You know how Shadows are- it didn’t take me long to come across a Shadow that spilled one detail too many about their life and I snapped and sent them into a berserk state.” Goro sighed, “After I left the Metaverse, I heard about the rampaging incident and so I investigated further. That’s how I reached the conclusion that if I use a weak version of the skill on Shadows who are too close to the edge, they’d end up hitting their limit and venting their emotions, which would leave them in a clearer state of mind. It was the closest to a change of heart I could do back then, but it was nothing close to what we could do now.”
“Why didn’t you change hearts at that time, then?” Yusuke wondered.
“That’s where I reach the point about Morgana being the reason the Thieves exist- the reason I didn’t change anyone’s heart before is because I had no idea I could do such a thing.”
There was a moment of silence as the Thieves digested the info.
“It was Morgana who told me about how to change hearts. And then Ryuji persisted on joining me to Kamoshida’s Palace and I shared knowledge with him, then Ann joined.” Goro half-smiled, “And the rest, as they say, is history.”
Goro rose from his seat and stretched, “I want Morgana back with us ASAP, I hope you understand, I owe him quite a lot. Besides, he’s our friend now, isn’t he?”
The Thieves chorused an agreement.
“Oooh, don’t worry.” Futaba grinned, “We’ll be getting Mona back with us in no time.”
“And Ryuji is going to apologize- aren’t you, Ryuji?” Ann stared intently at Ryuji who huffed.
“Yeah, yeah.”
“Well then, how are we going to start the search for Morgana?” Yusuke asked.
The Thieves grew silent as they contemplated the question, wondering where Morgana may have gone.
It was then that Goro’s phone pinged with an incoming message.
The Thieves looked at Goro who frowned as he took out his phone, “This better not be work,” He muttered as he unlocked his phone and stared at the screen.
Goro huffed in amusement and slid his phone on the table with the screen, still unlocked, facing up.
The Thieves gathered around the phone to see what it contained and they blinked in shock.
It was a message from Ren sent to what looked like a newly-created group chat called ‘The Morgana Investigations’.
The message simply said ‘Update!’ but the attached image was what pulled their attention- it was an image of Morgana napping on a comfortable looking couch.
Then a new message arrived.
Ren: Heard my favorite detective is missing his friend, so I went digging :D
“I believe it is now simply a matter of convincing Ren-san to tell us where they found Morgana,” Yusuke said.
“Yeah?” Ryuji said, “Good luck with that.”
Makoto smiled, “You can say that again.”
Goro retrieved his phone, “Ren won’t tell and we all know it.”
“Guess we’ll have to prepare bribery.” Futaba looked at Goro with a devious glint in her eyes, “Quick! Get our esteemed leader in a dress!”
“No!”
.
Eventually, the Thieves decided that Morgana most likely decided to take on Okumura’s Palace on his own and headed to the Palace in hopes of finding him.
As they started exploring the place, Crow subtly gestured them all to gather together and he whispered, “I think we’re being watched.”
“I can feel it too,” Queen whispered back, “It doesn’t feel malicious, though. It’s almost like it’s curious?”
“Still, I believe we should stay cautious.”
It did not take them long before they finally came across Mona- in the company of another Persona user, whom Mona introduced as the Beauty Thief.
Said Beauty Thief seemed to have words to say to them.
“You!” She pointed at Fox, “Learn to take a hint!”
Fox cocked his head to the side inquisitively.
“And you!” She pointed at Skull next, “You’re very vulgar!”
“And you!” She then pointed at Crow, “You’re too gay to function!”
Silence.
“Excuse you.” Crow was miffed, “I function sufficiently enough, thank you very much.”
The Beauty Thief scoffed.
“She got you there, man.”
.
Unfortunately, the Thieves didn’t make much progress in convincing Morgana to return to them during their visit to Okumura’s Palace. The only thing they figured out was the identity of the Beauty Thief: Okumura Haru.
That was when Goro suggested staking out Mementos.
“Someone’s been taking care of the requests on the site, and it certainly wasn’t us.” Goro blinked, “Unless one of you was dealing with requests without telling the rest?”
The Thieves shook their heads.
Ann then smiled enthusiastically, “I can’t believe we’ll be doing a stake out! And with a detective, to boot!”
Goro shook his head ruefully, “Stake outs aren’t as exciting as you think they are. And when phantom thieves are involved in the equation, we’ll most definitely end up giving chase. Phantom thieves usually lead you on chases- unless they had a deal to strike or a topic to discuss with you.”
“That makes me curious though.” Makoto tucked a strand of hair behind her ear, “What deals would a phantom thief want to strike with the detective chasing after them? Which topics would they like to discuss?”
Goro sighed, “It differs from one phantom thief to another. Phantom thievery is an industry where individuality and uniqueness is par for the course, and so I’ve encountered strange things while dealing with them. There was a phantom thief who liked to criticize every security failing he comes across during heists. A pair of phantom thieves who took great pleasure in stealing jewels just so that they can return them a week later- while putting them in the weirdest place they could find and leaving clues to where they hid them.”
“I know there is a particular phantom thief whom you get assigned to deal with more than the others?” Yusuke inquired.
Goro huffed, half miffed and half amused, “Joker. He’s… certainly something. He doesn’t have a specific target pattern or M.O., one moment he could be breaking and entering to return items that have been stolen long ago, and the next he could be stealing the watches of everyone in his taskforce. A lot of people associate him with the Amamiya and their heir’s not-so-subtle reparations work. But it’s certainly far from the only thing he does.
“Anyway, weren’t we going to stake out Mementos?”
.
The Thieves staked out Mementos, and Mona and the Beauty Thief did, indeed, show up, and it resulted in a chase.
Crow was not surprised and Panther knew why.
It was almost eerie- how their phantom thief activities went smoothly due to extensive knowledge Crow had about security and patrol details from his work as a detective. It was also quite ironic, and Panther wasn’t about to start complaining- neither were any of the Thieves, not even Queen.
They all knew that in their situation, it was for the best to take advantage of what they had at their disposal. One of those assets they had was their existence as a team; a unit in which everyone had the each other’s backs, a unit that wouldn’t just let go of one of its members.
This was what led the Thieves to a chase on foot to catch up with their missing team member and potential new member (given their track record), this was what led the Thieves to follow after the two back into the real world, and it was what led the Thieves to stand protectively around Okumura Haru and Morgana in a street in the night, ready to fend off the guy who seemed to be looming over Okumura.
Or trying to.
It seemed Ren had come across Okumura and Morgana by accident just in time to step in between Okumura and the guy staring at her with a dark look in his eyes and a countenance that promised retribution.
After the Thieves chased him off, they turned to Okumura, who was holding her arm close to her body and staring at the ground with melancholy.
“Is your arm okay?” Ren started, pulling Okumura’s attention towards them.
Once Okumura refocused at them and nodded, Ren continued, “Now, how do you feel?”
Okumura sucked in a deep breath and her frame trembled a bit before she straightened up and smiled, “I’ll be fine. Thank you for your help. I apologize for bothering you.”
Ren’s features softened, “You do not have to apologize.” They smiled gently at Okumura, “Any friend of theirs-“ Ren gestured to the Thieves, “-is a friend of mine. Besides, you’ve been taking care of Morgana. Helping you out was the least I could do.”
Okumura ducked her head, her cheeks gaining a slight rosy hue.
“Who was that guy?” Ann took the opportunity to approach Okumura and lay a comforting hand on her shoulder.
Okumura raised her head to look at her and smile sadly, “That was my fiancé.”
“Your fiancé?” Makoto was shocked.
“And he threatens you like that?” Ren murmured, voice a couple of octaves lower, tone dark, “You know what? I’ll be leaving you in their care.” Ren gestured to the Thieves; Goro sent Ren a warning look, and Ren looked back at him with a terrifying expression, their eyes holding promises of retribution, “I have some pests to deal with.”
Ren then turned on their heels and left, their steps purposeful; the Thieves watched them go until they rounded a corner.
Goro pulled their attention to him as he walked closer to Okumura, “We shouldn’t be staying outside so late. Let’s take you somewhere to rest, you must be exhausted.”
“Where are we going to take her?” Futaba asked.
“Leblanc,” Goro answered, “It seems we’ll be burrowing Akira’s room for a bit yet again.”
Ann sighed and shook her head, “I can’t believe how Akira’s keeps lending us his room for meetings. Is it boyfriend privilege?” She sent a scrutinizing look Goro’s way.
Goro’s cheeks flushed, “I have no idea what you’re talking about!”
“Sure you don’t.”
Okumura giggled, some of the tension in her shoulders slipping away, “Alright. Thank you all very much.”
.
With Haru joining them, the Thieves were able to continue through Okumura’s Palace and steal his Treasure.
And then all they had to do was wait for the change of heart.
Ann did not like the waiting game- she never liked it; she’d always stress about how things would go after they stole the Treasure, and Ren wasn’t around like usual to lighten the mood. Not even by way of messages.
Ann sighed, attracting Goro’s attention from where he was sipping his coffee in the seat across from her while working on his homework (between school, detective work, being the leader of the Phantom Thieves and the sudden media attention focused on him due to the Thieves’ popularity, Ann wondered how he managed).
“Is something the matter?” Goro put his cup of coffee down on the table and rested his chin on a hand. Aside from the two of them and Boss, Leblanc was empty.
Not even Akira was around, and Ann wanted to know where the hell he disappeared to so late at night.
“I’m just a little worried.”
“About?”
“Uh. Ren-chan.” Ann almost winced right after she answered; she was almost certain that would burden Goro more.
The look Goro had in his eyes intensified, it quite resembled the look he’d send to a Shadow he never encountered before and as such was trying to figure out its weakness. Ann wasn’t bothered, as the look wasn’t directed at her.
“You have a reason to worry. Ren hasn’t been very talkative lately, it’s almost like they’re planning something. What, I don’t know for sure, but I wouldn’t be surprised if it had anything to do with Haru’s fiancé.”
Ann cocked her head to the side, “Does it have to do with the look they had on their face that day?”
“Indeed. I know that look, it never boded well to whoever caused it- Ren can be quite spiteful when the mood strikes, if you hear anything about Sugimura being strapped to a streetlight in his underwear, don’t be surprised.”
Ann’s lips twitched into a smile while she simultaneously scrunched her nose, “You know, that mental image is both amusing and horrifying.”
Goro beamed at her, “If I had to suffer by having such mental images stuck in my head since the day we encountered Sugimura, I’m dragging you all down with me. In fact-“ Goro pulled out his phone, his smile gaining a sharp edge, “-I’m going to do just that.”
Ann didn’t need to ask what he was doing when she received the messages herself through the group chat that included both the Thieves and Ren.
Goro: I’m sure I’m not the only one wondering about Ren’s whereabouts.
Makoto: True.
Goro: As the resident detective, it is my duty to share my conspiracy theory about it.
Ann pressed a hand to her mouth to smother her smile as she watched the three dots on the screen indicating that Goro was typing.
Goro: Sugimura.
Haru: What about him?
Goro: If anyone hears any news about him being found naked in public, do not be surprised.
Ryuji: DUDE
Ryuji: DUDE WHY
Ryuji: WHY
Ryuji: WHY DID YOU HAVE TO SAY THAT
Ryuji: I DID NOT NEED THAT MENTAL IMAGE
Makoto: NIIJIMA-AKECHI GORO!
Ann couldn’t help the startled laugh that burst from her mouth as she snickered about the chat degenerating into a series of horrified exclamations and Makoto verbally flaying Goro. In front of her, Goro was smirking at his phone in satisfaction.
The door to Leblanc opened at that moment and Akira stepped through.
Goro looked up from his phone and his smirk softened into a smile when he saw Akira, “Welcome back.”
“Honey, I’m home,” Akira responded, expression not twitching at what he just said.
“You’re back awfully late.” Goro did not miss a beat and Ann needed to tell the rest about this- it was going straight into the ‘Local Detective Boy Thirsts After Local Barista More At 8’ group chat.
(Ann inwardly pouted for a fraction of a second when she saw that Futaba beat her to it.)
Ann raised her head just in time to see Akira walk over to the table, bend down and kiss Goro on the cheek.
Her mouth dropped in shock and her phone slipped from her hand, clattering to the ground loudly in the ensuing silence. Goro’s face exploded into a violent shade of red and steam began rising from his head.
“Good night, darling,” Akira murmured into Goro’s ear before standing up and stretching, “I’ll be heading to bed.”
“Sheesh,” Boss grumbled half-heartedly from behind the counter, “Stop tormenting the kid.”
Akira lazily nodded and headed upstairs, throwing a good night Ann’s way on his way upstairs.
“Night, Akira,” She called back distractedly, trying to pull herself back together from her shock.
A few moments later, she reached down to retrieve her phone, idly wondering if she should tell the group chat about the kiss as her own retaliation.
If Futaba heard, she’d probably get cameras installed in Leblanc just so that she wouldn’t miss anything of the sort in the future.
Ann was brought out of her musings when the TV channel running background noise in the café moved onto the news segment; Ann blinked at the screen as the reporter spoke about the son of a wealthy and influential political family was found hanging upside down from a lamppost while naked- his form covered only by glitter. The surname ‘Sugimura’ that was shown on screen caused her eyes to widen and she whipped her head to stare incredulously at Goro who seemed to be still miles away.
Her phone pinged with the stream of messages being received.
Ryuji: HOLY SHIT
Futaba: Hah!
Haru: That was…!
Makoto: Goro! Respond! Oh my god!
Makoto: Ren, you didn’t do this, did you?
Ann put her phone down and leaned back in her seat, chuckling lightly.
Goro was snapped from his daze by the sound of his phone ringing; he quickly shook his head and answered the phone.
After greeting whoever was on the other end of the line, Goro’s expression changed from curiosity to shock, “He did what?” Goro turned his head towards the TV and observed the news, “Oh god,” He said after a moment, “I cannot believe- actually, wait. Yes, I can believe. I’ll be on my way.” Goro ended the call and slipped his phone back into his pocket before he started to gather his things, “Sorry for the abrupt departure but it seems that Joker struck again and I need to go do my job.” He sighed and smiled at Boss, “Thank you for the coffee, it was delicious as always.”
Ann stood from her seat, “Yes, thank you, Boss! Goro, I’ll be going with you to the train station. I need to head back home before the last train leaves anyway.” With that, the two left the café.

Date Headcanons | Everyone
Thought I’d write something for everyone so that I can get used to it & you can see my style of writing.
- Nexus.
Joker { Akira Kurusu }
✧ Akira is definitely the type of partner who indulges in more casual dates. Although he has the money & resources in order to do something more classy due to his moonlighting as a Phantom Thief, he prefers more quaint locations where both himself & his partner can enjoy each other’s company instead of the location.
✧ He fundamentally believes that if he can enjoy himself around his significant other without needing to spend vast amounts of money, he’s found someone he can rely on for life. His life is naturally very very stressful so he finds solace in moments where he can simply be himself.
✧ During the date itself, he is the epitome of a gentleman { he does have max Charm, after all! }. Offering to pay for the meal; blatantly flirting but not crossing any unspoken boundaries; Casual touches of affection to fluster them. All in all, Akira simply enjoys having company that’s not related to Phantom Thief business & having someone who doesn’t only want to see him in order to seek out comfort.
Skull { Ryuji Sakamoto }
✧ Another one who likes casual dates. However, he is much less formal about it. Although confident on the outside, on the inside he is very nervous about a date. Ryuji is of the opinion that if he cannot be himself during a date, it would not feel natural. So, he takes his significant other places that seem like fun.
✧ Being the athletic type, Ryuji encourages his significant other to run with him. It is rather cathartic and good training. Starting out with shorter routes, they would be encouraged by him all throughout. Afterwards, there’s a high chance that the two of them would head out for ramen together as a ‘ treat ’.
✧ Other ideas would include the arcade or simply heading to his house. Introducing his partner to his mother is a key part of the relationship, since he desperately wants them to like each other { it wouldn’t be difficult, Ryuji’s mother is just as sweet as his son!! }.
Panther { Ann Takamaki }
✧ There are two types of dates with Ann: Food dates & Fashion dates.
✧ Food dates are usually more common. They consist of going to a restaurant she recommends or finding a dessert and ordering two. Ann encourages her significant other to try new things & expand their horizons much like how she’s trying to strengthen her heart.
✧ Fashion dates occur when Ann’s side job as a model comes into play. If she is in need of new clothes for a particular style or wants to try something new, it is likely to be turned into a date.
✧ Ann knows exactly what fits the body type of her partner & clothes that would make them look good. She wants them to be able to express themselves and feel good about it at the same time!!
✧ In return, all that is asked of them is that they honestly critique the clothing choices she has selected out for herself { she looks great in everything though }.
Fox { Yusuke Kitagawa }
✧ Yusuke’s interpretation of dates is... Strange. No matter what, it has to be visually stimulating & help inspire him in his career of art. He would die for art without a second thought and that reflects in his choices of location.
✧ For example, Inokashira Park is a perfect spot. It costs little money, has beautiful scenery & has a relaxing atmosphere. Throughout the entire experience, there is small gestures of casual affection. Not enough for people to be staring but just enough for it to be noticeable by them.
✧{ After his scuffle with searching for true beauty with Akira, he learns a little more about social ettique & how the boat ride they took could have been misinterpreted as a date. }
✧ However... Sometimes he forgets that going to places costs money. If a local art museum has a special showing, Yusuke will buy two tickets impulsively & invite his significant other to the event. Then he’ll be crushed by the reality of the train fares.
Queen { Makoto Niijima }
✧ At first, Makoto has no idea how to plan a date. She would definitely flunk a test about love, so to speak. However, it is very endearing. Study dates would be the most common, where they could go over any material either of them didn’t understand in classes. She prides herself over being able to assist her significant other.
✧ Once she becomes more adapted to stereotypical teenage life, there is a higher likelyhood of more outdoorsy dates. Her favourite spot is Chinatown because of all the vastly different stores and foods.
✧ She finds it a relaxing experience to people watch. Usually it’s done through the window of a cafe where she offhandedly comments about how different people are dressed & how they interact with each other. Makoto is very insightful.
Oracle { Futaba Sakura }
✧ Going anywhere is mostly out of the question. Futaba struggles with socialising & although she is trying her best to open up a little more, it will be an ongoing process.
✧ Playing video games until 3am or talking about the latest manga edition released from the comfort of her bedroom is one of her favourite things to do with a significant other. It is the one time where she feels comfortable to talk & even if they do not quite understand every thing she is saying, she is very happy to go into depth and explain.
✧ However, there would be one or two occasions where Futaba wants to push herself & go out somewhere. Beforehand, Sojiro would be lecturing her partner about keeping her safe & making sure she’s okay but wishes the two of them a good time.
✧ Although there’s moments where Futaba is overstimulated & needs a break, it is a fun experience! Akihabara is definitely a good place to start & buying a game as a reward for braving it will earn them a beaming smile of sunshine.
Noir { Haru Okumura }
✧ Haru has very few qualms about spending extravagant amounts of money on a single date. She thinks like a celebrity & aims to impress her significant other. Just because she spends a lot of money does not mean she is not thoughtful, though. Most dates will be something her significant other has mentioned interest in. She pays attention!!
✧ Throughout the entire outing, she is not afraid to initiate physical contact. Holding hands is a common & subtle gesture that she never really achieved with her previous marriage so she cherishes gentle intimacy.
✧ However, it eventually becomes known that she prefers cheaper & more heart-to-heart style dates. Making a picnic for her partner with the vegetables / fruits from her garden brings unparalleled joy. Especially when they give advice and talk about the taste & how they could improve. Her dream is to run a homegrown café after all!!
Crow { Goro Akechi }
✧ Akechi is either the most gentlemanly man anyone has ever been on a date with or he wants to unwind from a stressful day. Dates are few & far between with his particularly busy schedule, alongside the influence of his female fans bothering him particularly turns him off the idea most of the time.
✧ So, there are two solutions: Dates that are indoors so that no one knows where they are & incredibly extravagant dates that the media cannot gain access to.
✧ Indoor ones usually involve attending the Jazz Club in Kichijoji. It is a relaxing place with few people to bother his significant other, since there are few that know about the place. Throughout the entire occasion, he makes light conversation and is hesitant about accepting physical contact for fear of his reputation but eventually settles on taking his gloves off and interlocking hands with them.
✧ The other solution is usually reserved for special occasions. Although Akechi is wealthy due to his work as a detective, he is more deliberate with his purchases and understands the value of money. In these situations, he intentionally plays up his role as a detective prince & is even more suave than Akira. There is a lot of flirtation in a very polite manner, almost as if testing the waters.
✧ Although he genuinely enjoys these sessions, it is his job to play the role of a prince, even for his significant other. Akechi is practised at pretending.
Violet { Sumire Yoshizawa }
✧ Incredibly flustered at first, no matter what happens. Every step with her is filled with stuttering & a face the same colour as her hair but she’s willing to try her best!!
✧ Absolutely wants her significant other to come to her routines & competitions. If they are not there, she feels incomplete. It throws her game off which in turn creates more issues in the future.
✧{ At some point, her coach comes to speak to them and essentially demands they be at every session so Sumire can achieve her best. }
✧ Sumire also really likes different scenery. The aquarium in Shinagawa is a breathtaking sight from her perspective. No pressure to perform & the ability simply be herself allows for a much more natural date.
{ Yuuki Mishima }
✧ Mishima is much like Futaba in that he would prefer a date indoors. Although he is more confident after everything that happened with Kamoshida, he is still more shocked that he actually has a significant other.
✧ Most of his spare time when not doing schoolwork is spent on running the Phansite so when Mishima wants to spend time with them, he prefers low energy activities at home such as watching a movie with snacks or sitting & talking together.
✧ If he ever attempted to take them out somewhere, it would be adorable. There would be a lot of doting on them and ensuring that they’re having a good time & he needs this validation because of his self esteem issues. { Telling Mishima that the date was fun or that they enjoyed it will result in an adorable smile & red face }.
{ Hifumi Togo }
✧ Much like Yusuke, Hifumi enjoys dates with her significant other that are practical. If there’s a new book on some of the lastest Shogi techniques, she’ll take them to the bookstore in Jinbocho & make a date out of it.
✧ Although she sometimes struggles to articulate her feelings properly, it is often made up for with the purchase of a gift. Nothing expensive since she is still a high school student but instead something deeply personal that will mean a lot, such as a piece of jewellery or a particular book they are interested in.
✧ Also loves going to the church in Kanda for a practice game. Even if they are not very good at Shogi, she’ll teach them how to play and encourages them to develop their own style of play. After each game, she analyses all of the different moves used in that game & how they changed the game.

how would the phantoms + Akechi feel about their s/o having an accent? headcanons please?
Ryuji:
He would find it really weird at first, but he’d get used to it after a while, and find it extremely endearing. They probably hid it from him at first because they weren’t sure how he’d react to hearing them speak that way. S/O would probably have an accent from somewhere like Osaka since there’s a big mix of different people from different prefectures in Shibuya and people from Osaka often get mistaken or called gangsters because of the way they pronounce their words. After they explain why they hid it, he can’t help but laugh a little bit since he thinks it’s kinda cute how they pronounce things.
Akira:
He doesn’t mind at all, since when he first met them, he knew about it instantly. They came into Le Blanc a few times, but they had an interesting foreign accent and it intrigued him,wanting to hear them talk more. He came from a really small town, so this is more of a culture shock for him to hear such an interesting dialect. Even though it’s new, he still likes to listen to them speak because it’s become a really beautiful thing to listen to.
Yusuke:
He loves hearing their accent. He finds something artistically pleasing about the way they talk, he’s absolutely infatuated with the way they pronounce their words. He’s heard different accents before, since Madarame had multiple buyers from different countries. However, back then he never really listened to them. However when he meets S/O he’s really into the way they talk and pay attention to them from the first time he meets them 
Goro:
Even if S/O tried to hide the way they talked with their natural accent, Akechi knows how to listen for different speech patterns because he’s a master detective n shit, but he doesn’t say anything to them about it when he finds out that they have an accent. After a while, they eventually say something that gives it away and he just smiles. Even though they’re extremely embarrassed, he doesn’t really care and likes hearing them talk with or without it.

p5 thoughts
After having drawn so much fanart of p5 (most of it being Yusuke) before the game even came out, even with my hype when I started playing on the release date, I only FINALLY finished persona 5 OTL
Below will be my mini-review and thoughts on the game?? spoilers are gonna here on the entire game
Total playtime - 87 hours 40 minutes
OK this is gonna be disorganized mess but i will try to be .. not messy Story: The story unfortunately was very weak :(  Like the game had an AMAZING start and it was tackling really important issues. I really started to care about Ryuji and Ann and their goals. Then Yusuke joins and I thought the game was just heading in perfect direction. Then I felt off during Kaneshiro’s arc as Makoto did not really feel .. really into the whole PT thing?? sorry Makoto fans i love her but she felt rly overrated... anyway Futaba’s arc no doubt was my favorite but then the game really started falling apart. like lets not talk about the whole series of events that were Morgana leaving the team that was straight up BAD. the pacing picked up a bit for the Casino dungeon and it was really intense then its Shido and thing kinda... fell back into this weird pacing ... Ah yes, let’s just wait 20 days to see if Shido has a change of heart or we die. After that the pacing was still all over the place then the huge plottwist happens. I knew about it but still liked it! The last arc had on point emotions and feels so it felt like a good ending to the game.  SEVERE PACING ISSUES KILL THE GAME FOR ME THOUGH.   I get that they still wanted the calendar system but honestly i dont think it worked any huge favors for the game . .. anyway yeah the game started amazing then dropped close to death then picked up again but not as good as the beginning Characters: I have not managed to finish a lot of confidants so near the end the parts where confidants help out it was .. very lacking lol .. . if that part wasnt so depended on the confidants that you have finished.... But overall the characters were good. Pacing of the story and the story itself did not do any justice to them I think and it feels bad bc everyone had so much potential but having a big cast it was obvious that not everyone was getting the attention they deserved Ryuji - good bro and I loved him but the middle part of the game and the constant “we gotta get the girls!” moments were so . . ugh ...  confidant rank and beginning of game ryuji was absolute best though Ann - same goes for her as with ryuji that the beginning of the game was best characterization moment for her. I liked her a lot and she’s pretty bro for female heroine! but the constant fanservice kills me guys Morgana - boy did i dislike morgana for the most of the game. he really felt like teddie 2.0 at times and i just did not have a lot motivation to like him. Last arc of the game tho?? i love morgana??? i wanna cry tbh those parts near the end really resonated with me so my final verdict is that i like morgana a lot now Yusuke - I LOVE THIS BOY. while i get the beef that people have with his recruitment arc (the whole nude modeling thing) I thought it was ok since my interpretation is that he was just pissed and really needed that inspiration he found in ann but idk. otherwise his arc was good but goddamn fuck you atlus for continuously treating him like a weirdo?? PT is supposed to be a gang of misfits and yet even the teammates keep treating him like a weirdo. . that was just really bad like come on  let me kiss yusuke and feed him. also will never forgive atlus for not letting yusuke move into leblanc. He’s a very good character and very level-headed so i love him sm. he has really great moments Makoto - I liked her a lot! i do think she’s a bit overrated and that she doesn’t fit well with PT but I think that’s just the issue with Atlus pacing of the story, because her issues during her recruitment were really good (as in i did feel like she would fit into PT well) Futaba - I LOVE THIS GIRL!! I played with jpn dub which I think does much better justice to her characterization. Her entire arc was so so good and I felt like she was a really solid character going through growth. her confidant was very very good. She has a lot of funny moments and I love her antics with Yusuke. they are the blessed characters of this game. too good for this game. Haru - love her too!!!! she was so nice and sweet but damn atlus did not do her justice at all. she is the “last” party member to join and it is so sad she does not get a lof interaction with PT. like I wish PT interacted with her somehow throughout the game before she joins, be it like help her out sometimes or something bc they go to same school so when she joins later the team dynamic can easily accept her. Goro - we dont talk about goro jk but honestly he was handled bad. his link was automatic and I get why but his initial personality just makes me hate him a lot. he was cool as a party member but not for long. I expect him to appear in spinoffs bc wtf was that ending for him goddamn atlus. i like a lot his potential as a character but everything else? hate Sae was for me quite funny during the interrogation (when you start the confidant parts) but after her casino her involvement in the story I really ended up liking Sae. she’s good Also gonna mention Sojiro bc i love that coffee dad. His dynamic with Futaba and protagonist was extremely good!!! such a solid family. I loved that he finds out the truth and how he handled it. love u sojiro Speaking of protagonist, I really really really wish atlus would ease up on the “silent protagonist” a bit more. for a game as huge as this, the silence does not do justice to the protagonist. idk i just wish there would have been a bit more voice to him and solid characterization other than some off-hand comments that imply the underlying personality. i get the whole “self-insert” part but it sucks stop putting it in games Overall character summary: pacing sucked so characterization suffered a lot. a lot of characters don’t get their time to shine and while I love them a lot it really sucks to see how they were treated. Pacing ruined a lot of things including team dynamic. Palaces: (in chronological order) Kamoshida/Castle - IT SUCKED I HATE IT. being the first freaking dungeon it sure was extremely hard and damn long. also not knowing about the calling car system really hurt lmao. i just hate this dungeon and i got stuck there a lot too Madarame/Art Museum - THE BEST ONE! Honestly I think it is the only palace that really did feel like a heist! It is a very beautiful palace and im probably also biased bc its Yusuke’s arc but this palace was legit fun to get through. Kaneshiro/Bank - it was ok, good music. i don’t really feel much for it and I was just mostly annoyed how long the vault part was. Futaba/Pyramid - I loved it  a lot too! 10/10 music I had a lot of annoyances with coffin shadows and the puzzles for a bit but overall the music and aesthetics really made the palace work well with the story Okumura/Spaceship - we don’t talk about the “lunch break” parts.... overall it was ok and I liked its aesthetic. also the implications about the workers there was good sad material. Sae/Casino - 10/10 music. overall i disliked it a lot bc some of the parts really dragged and I hated gambling in there to progress. Shido/Ship - 10/10 music. overall i liked it / it was ok. the mouse mechanic was a bit fun, the last part being ... 3 boss fights in a row without saving was sure something. 10/10 creepy outside aesthetic of sunken city. Mementos Depths - not to be confused w/ p3/4 style dungeon we know as mementos (which were pretty much mindless fun to progress thru), the depths was ... so good. mostly for the creepy aesthetic 10/10 would suffer again. the music track Freedom and Security, that plays during goro’s bad end credits, plays as the theme for this dungeon and jeez did it make me feel so emo. the parts where you can talk to locked up people who are apathetic to the world just gave me depression and i loved it.. . i didnt really like the later part of it (when tokyo merges with mementos) To rank the palaces overall its:  Art museum > Mementos Depths > Pyramid >> Ruse Cruise > Spaceship > Casino > Bank >>>>>> Castle Gameplay mechanics were very solid and fun. Movement a bit could be clunky (or that’s what i felt like) and stealth mechanic in dungeons was ok. The gameplay has A LOT of attention to detail and i appreciated it a lot. UI was cluttered but it worked and was quite Aesthetic. I think the game would have benefited if the stats weren’t so important to the social aspect or if the calendar system was revamped. Final boss imo was not as bad as P4 but still ... sucked. P3′s final boss fight is still ultimately my favorite. P5 comes close but once again, pacing issues. Protagonist summoning freaking Satanael was cool af though. Honestly my big issue with P5 was the PACING that made the story and characters suck a lot of times but overall the game was extremely solid and memorable.  Of the persona entries i played i think P5 is special so I can’t really rank it. I am really attached to the game despite its heavy flaws that kill me. P3 and P2 are still quite my favorites but P5 is like really close to them so I guess it’s a fave too i love those phantom thieves
