Y'all ever find a comic that you think is pretty dang good and you enjoy a decent amount so you follow the account that's posting it and still the comic is good but the person making it is,, just kinda an asshole?
Like not even a bad person they're just kinda condescending or rude or smth when perhaps answering asks or talking about their comic on its tag and you really don't think that's worth abandoning their generally pretty good work for but it just kinda sours you to the whole thing? And you can understand why they would say something so rude/condescending because making a comic and dealing with people being kinda dumb is stressful but it still makes the comic itself feel.. blehh.
That's happened to me at least 5 times now, it's a strange phenomenon.
A couple I doodles I made for my fic What Happens When A Detective, A Mass Murderer, An Assassin and A Thief Time Travel?
Very interesting take! Totally agree with basically everything you said, honestly I think Morgana is a top tier character with a lot of good characterization that's kinda,, done way too dirty in the Okumura arc. Like, Morgana's insecurities, his pride, his insistence that he's human, they're all actually pretty compelling especially when he's interacting with Ren. I do find him annoying at times, mostly with the needless insulting of Ryuji and how I don't think he ever actually... Apologizes to Ryuji? I don't remember if Ryuji apologized either but he gets a pass because the narrative punishes him enough. In basically the rest of the game I enjoy Morgana, he's great! Especially during his social link scenes.
I suppose as someone who really loves Akechi's character I gotta insert the old phrase I saw somewhere; in fiction, being annoying is a far greater sin than being a terrible person. Because it will make me hate watching them. Morgana might be integral to the story, but if people don't enjoy when they come on screen then there's really no amount of impact he can make to make them want to keep him around. Does that make any sense? I'm not the best with phrasing sometimes.
Anyway tysm for explaining it was very helpful and insightful!!
i am once again putting this opinion out there
I'm starting to think it was never real in the first place, just a figment of my imagination lost to the recesses of my mind. On the upside, there are a lot of really freaking cool black mask Joker designs out there. Like, damn persona 5 artists did not have to go that hard but they did anyway and it's glorious.
I swear I am scouring the globe looking for that one freaking black mask redesign where they have him iridescent black pants and called atlus cowards but I can't find it anywhere it's so upsetting
Guess who's gonna go down the rabbit hole of coloring their copy of the Four Swords manga
I finished Kamiki's social link, and uh
what
WHAT??
Did they just not wanna show him dying or is he secretly a magic being or smth?? Wtf?? I was having a moment and they just,, I'm so confused.
Oh yeah so it turns out working a job while still living with your parents, specifically when one of your parents works the exact same job, fucking sucks. Like, I told my workplace I couldn't do 6 am shifts, they scheduled me for a 6 am shift. I would honestly just skip the shift as a 'fuck you I set my boundaries' but they can literally call my parents on me. I am currently staying up late and eating unhealthy food in hopes that when morning comes I will be deemed too sick to work this fucking shift.
Honestly I would rather be fired than work for a place that doesn't respect my boundaries with shifts but again, parents. This job is hell and I hate it and I hate working for a corporation that treats me like a robot.
Some very important additions, I had no idea that conversation with Pharos existed but I actually adore it and think they really should've had Pharos interact with more of the main cast actually, he's such a little guy™
I need more people to write Aigis and Ryoji as friends, post-game or in some canon divergence au. They are made to be opposing forces, to clash for the fate of the world, but the purpose designated for them by their creators is not the purpose they chose to follow. They become friends in both because and in spite of what they are, because who would better understand their struggles? Neither is truly human, but they are both people. People who doubt their own humanity. They validate each other's struggles in a way no one else could, before affirming that yes, you are a person, you worked so very hard to be a person and I recognize that struggle and say that it is ok if you don't understand all the nuances of humanity right away, I won't judge you, because I am the exact same way.
Yes, Aigis initially saw Ryoji as dangerous, and he was, but I want them to grow past that. I want them to be able to look back at their first clash and think about how much they've grown since then. I want them to tell each other that the fact that they feel remorse for the lives lost is a clear sign of their newfound empathy for others, and that yes it's difficult, grappling with those feelings, but they should face them head on for the sake of those lost lives. I want them to come to see the other as one of their closest friends, the one they can turn to whenever they need.
Aigis and Ryoji should be friends, because they chose to be more than the enemies they were when they first met.
Ehhhhh neither? Dark is one of those characters that I think will remain an antagonist, in the sense of making the MC's life harder and presenting obstacles, but sorta be absorbed into the team by the fact that he's not malicious, kinda has to do his job, and is clearly conscious. Plus definitely never leaving Vaati's side and Vaati is almost definitely never joining the heroes. Maybe leaving them alone, as a sorta truce, but not gonna be a do-gooder hero. Dark is right there with em, at best leaving them alone/somehow accidentally becoming the therapist but like a really shitty one? I dunno though it's not my story
Back with the FS polls Oh boy.
It dawns on me I've never fully asked this question and I'm so damn curious what the general consensus is for where Dark's character is going.
I've for sure said things to mess this up being completely blind but oh well.
I ask this dude why he's not wearing a shirt and he calls me stupid and I think that's amazing dialogue. I probably should've asked something responsible like what their goals were but when faced with the option to finally get an answer as to why this dude is letting his nipples out constantly regardless of temperature I just had to take it. I didn't even get a straight answer it's incredible.
I wrote a tragic fic then I regretted it and made it happy. I don't have the heart to do my favorite bois like that
