Long Post Ahead (Mostly rambling since I got the P5 Official Artbook, and I have lots of thoughts)

As much as I love Persona 5 and (in my personal opinion) it has the best confidant roster of the 3-5 continuation, the bar for how good some of those confidant stories are presented is painfully fucking low. And what's worse is that such problem exists even in the main cast alone, when you look at how the female Phantom Thieves' plot lines are treated in comparison to their male counterparts as a collective.

You have Ann, who suffers horrific sexual abuse at the hand of an authority only to have that same abuse be the cause of her isolation to the point she can no longer trust anyone but her best friend (who also suffered the same abuse to the point of suicide), but God fucking forbid she actually gets to be comfortable in her own skin in a sexually positive light instead of being extremely uncomfortable with her PT suit, the representation of her liberation, and being perved on by her friends without her agency being taken in consideration.

You have Makoto, who's the second-best written girl in the main cast but she's written to be an aspiring cop, while being close friend with a fucking police brutality victim. You have Haru, who's fucking crucial moments in her Palace was given to Morgana and she's not even allowed to have conflicting thoughts about her abusive father until Strikers, she has to be the good daughter still who upholds a tainted family name for a father who was willing to pimp her out without being pissed at her situation at his hands.

And holy shit, if I even start with Yoshizawa, I will be here all day with how pissed I am with her treatment at the hands of Atlus. Her entire story arc was done better before with Naoya (who I'm 90% sure that hers was taken from but worse) or after with Sofia (despite both having their own fucking game to explore their story). Let's be fucking real, Maruki is the real new character of Royal, and she's mostly treated as bait rather than be given the respect she deserves as a character.

Persona 5 is a great game, it's one of my favorite games. But to say that it treats every character and every theme it has equally is a fucking lie.

I've done recolors of Yang's Beacon design in the past that have added a lot of black and reds into her design to better match Ruby and Blake, but for a long while I've wanted to go the opposite direction - taking inspiration from her V2 Hunter's outfit and trying a design based in cream whites and gold to hopefully give off an impression of yellow and match better with Weiss. I finally got around to giving it a try and I think it turned out well! I

Bonus red bandana version (I tried both and ultimately thought purple looked better, but let me know what you think) and original art below:

what do you mean elon musk did a nazi salute on live tv at the united states presidential inauguration twice and is now erasing the evidence off the internet by replacing the footage with the crowd cheering instead?

would be a shame if people reblogged this, wouldn’t it?

[the-path-to-redemption]

I read the article, wondering if this might be a case of two terrible things coinciding, i.e., the Nazi salute AND the mass firing of meteorologists from local news stations and replaced with a feed of the Weather Channel but no, CBS 58 has quietly removed her and is looking for a replacement. It seems she was directly fired for this:

She worked five years and had just posted in support of the other fired local meteorologists.

People are already starting to reach out to CBS 58.

For anyone wondering, this is a partly comprehensive list of the Executive Orders (EOs) signed on Inauguration Day yesterday.

An even more comprehensive list with links to every EO can be found here.

i watched the livestream of trump signing executive orders and answering questions from the press. here are some of the big ones + other things mentioned today:

trump declared a national emergency at the southern border + is getting the US military more involved in stopping "invasions including mass migration"

no one can declare asylum in the US

all existing appointments for people wanting to legally become US citizens are canceled

birthright citizenship (aka the 14th amendment) is now gone

ICE sweeps beginning "soon," not specifying when (though there are rumors it's starting tomorrow in sanctuary cities such as chicago)

mexican cartels are now designated "foreign terrorist organizations" and trump is not opposed to US troops entering mexico to eliminate them

he restored the death penalty for "crimes committed by illegal aliens"

biden had signed an executive order attempting to stop cops from using chokeholds or doing no-knock warrants. trump just revoked that order

25% tariffs on canada and mexico begin on feb 1 2025 — expect a lot of produce imported from mexico to get more expensive soon

tariffs on china will begin soon, not specified when

trump said he intends to take back the panama canal, did not specify when or how

january 6 insurrectionists are to be immediately released/pardoned

he pardoned the leader of the proud boys

tiktok has a 90 day extension, during which the US gov will try to buy 50% of tiktok. trump said he no longer cares that china is "spying on our young people," but he wants to buy half of tiktok so the US government "can police it a little bit, or a lot." if tiktok will not sell, it will be banned in the US again.

he claims the people of greenland want to become part of the US

he says the gulf of mexico is now to be called the "gulf of america" + denali is now to be called "mount mckinley"

alaska is to be mined and become the US' main source for fossil fuels

the green new deal and "electric vehicle" (green energy) mandates are over

the US has withdrawn from the paris climate agreement

the US has withdrawn from the world health organization

reproductiverights.gov is already gone

the US now "only recognizes two genders, male and female"

trans women prisoners are to be housed in male prisons; gender affirming care for prisoners is gone

self-identification for gender on passports, government IDs, and social security cards is gone

all federal employees are required to work in the office five days a week, no more working from home

trump said the US is going to "pursue our manifest destiny into the stars" and plant a US flag on mars

sources on what executive orders were signed: one two three

and lastly, some things that happened during the inauguration:

the pastor who blessed the inauguration during the swearing in ceremony has already announced a new meme coin/cryptocurrency

trump did not put his hand on the bible + there are rumors the pope is going to say trump is the antichrist

the wealthiest people on the planet — the CEOs of twitter/tesla, amazon, google, meta, and even the CEO of tiktok — who own almost all communication platforms used by westerners — stood directly behind trump as he was sworn in

elon musk, the wealthiest person alive, who has been given his own vaguely-defined US government agency, did a nazi salute on stage at the presidential podium. neo-nazis are already celebrating

Successfully beat both my Impostor Syndrome and Tumblr's shitty resolution crusher (big maybe on that last part, fuck you Tumblr). All of the head, facial features and expression practices for my blorbos that took me way too long.

Notes:

Ilia's design is from @rwbyazre because it slaps. Happy with the eyes, but had to tone her hair down because it was orange before and I'm blind as hell.

Moles on Blake are cute. Might use them for the actual redesign (coming never lol).

Adam's hair was a fucking pain in the ass. Never again (I will do it again). Did him during Alien Stage brainrot hour so thank you Luka for the reference pose lol.

Didn't know what to do for Sienna's hair, so rushed it a bit, in hindsight should have put some gray hairs too. Also, please make her look older, it will heal all of us, thank you.

Might post a compilation of my arts throughout the year for this show sometimes in the future, not sure yet.

I will testify that even if I strongly dislike, utterly hate, and cannot stand a character, I will never go on someones post talking about liking that character and say so. Basic decency and all that

"Proship will desensitize you to-"

You tell people to kill themselves—adults and children alike—without thinking anything of it.

Anti-ship rhetoric has desensitized you to child exploitation, harassment, and suicide.

Stop worrying about imaginary, hypothetical problems and confront your own disconnect from empathy.
