zenkichi confessing to you

pairing: zenkichi hasegawa x gn!reader

tags: silly & wholesome fluff, 'life or death' confession, scared!zenkichi, metaverse setting, unplanned confession

while zenkichi might be a police officer, he's still somewhat easily startled. especially when it comes to the metaverse!

he's still new to fighting shadows and using his persona, so when the two of you suddenly get ambushed in the metaverse, he's the one screaming in fear!

and not just that! he clings to you, already expecting this to be his final moments and decides to finally say the things he never said before!

“i can't die, i haven't even asked you out on a date yet–!” he cries, as he clings to your arm

but as soon as you call upon your persona and defeat the shadows – all by yourself – zenkichi grows quiet out of embarrassment

“i– uhm… thanks for saving me!” he mumbles out, before quietly adding. “and about… the other thing… would you like to maybe grab a coffee after we're out of here…?”

I’m slowly learning more about Les miserables and I’m realizing Zenkichi doesn’t just have valjean as a persona, he’s a valjean (or javert???) kinnie that quotes the musical

Please don’t spoil it tho, us talking about a time to watch it was genuine, I wanna see the movie now

"Listen...I may not be the best dad on the market, but...if you need someone to keep you company today, we could...maybe...go get ice cream?"

quick 15-min doodle i did of zenkichi while waiting on an important phone call because you know. the best way to cope with having to pretend you're a functioning adult is drawing someone else who also pretends they're a functioning adult

I might merge my Persona multi-muse over to here. I'd be adding like only 5-6 characters or so.

“Madness? That’s a word they would describe me~” Feral Zenkichi sprites. Enjoy.

Alright I’m gonna try not to make this a rant, but I think I genuinely enjoyed Persona 5 Strikers more than Royal.

MILD-MAJOR SPOILERS

If you haven’t played it yet, do it. Just… just do it.

First, I’m not even going to pretend like Sophia isn’t my favorite character from the P5 games, next to Ryuji and Akechi. Shes wonderfully written, and has some of the best voice lines in the game.

Second, Wolf. Zenkichi was an instant favorite, so his awakening was so awesome to watch. And his design is incredible, since it’s a more old-fashioned thieve outfit, compared to his younger compatriots.

Also, Strikers had some GENIUS ideas, like having the battle theme be independent of your outfit, and the ability to revisit Jails/Palaces.

And while the story was a bit clunky, it was still a blast to watch unfold. The personality on display was amazing.

Another great addition was how the game incentivizes you to try all the characters. In the final boss, you have to make 3 teams of 3/4 characters each, so you would be wise to level them all up equally. I also loved the skill tree.

If we ever get a sequel to Strikers, maybe with Akechi and Sumire, I think it could be the best game in the series. They definitely took a risk with the battle style, but it more than payed off.

Broken, but not forgotten.

Say, since they say, "You are what you eat," wouldn't this make Maruki (and maybe Zenkichi) a snack?

"Uhhhhh...you'll have to forgive me, but I'm not quite sure what you mean by that? The phrase is commonly said as a way to refer to an individual's daily food intake and diet but...it's not meant to reflect on the actual person themselves."

"Wasn't there quite a handful of your students who kept referring to you as a 'snack'?"

"Why yes!! That's mainly because I always offered snacks to any of the students who came into my office. I would imagine I've gained a nickname like that since I did it so often."
