Yeaaahh, if you wanted to go into how a lot of western fujoshi create creepy fetish material out of clearly platonic relationships I can get that or that it's a shame when some people think that all deep and loving relationships gotta be sexual but this certainly isn't a thread for that kinda discussion lol

Also the Korra thing didn't come outta nowhere because the last good man died with scarface

I'm going to echo a comment from earlier in the thread: Futaba absolutely needs to party crash some of Otacon's codec calls. Bonus points if it results in a nerd-off between Otacon and Futaba over who has the better equipment.

I haven't read that AU, but does that one just turn the adult confidants into teens, and vice-versa? I was kinda hoping it'd be them as actual adults and fighting with their Personas.

It age swaps the villains too, as well as the Velvet Room Attendants. Generally they are a year older though. Sojiro is a third year and Sae is first year law student at a university and so on. Yoshida is the student president.

Because they don't have to be. They're close friends, and that's their dynamic, making them lesbians is like that tumblr artist who made the P5 girls all pudgy western stereotypes. It's an unnecessary complication that has no point or relevance to either character. Ann cared about Shiho because they were friends and that was it. They could have been Hetro room mates, Hetro life partners or anything that doesn't have to be a forced same sex couple.

This opinion is weird to read because it's exactly how I feel about a lot of straight couples that crop up in media. :v:

Just, tip for going forward, since going over your post history ITT you seem to get very weird and sweaty every time the issue of homosexuality comes up, maybe, just, like, don’t. Next time, just let it go. When 50 people come out of the woodwork to tell you how wrong you are, just take it in stride and move on and to try to avoid jumping into the discussion next time.

Part 174: 12/8: Sacrifice



For causing countless mental shutdowns in others, you will atone… with your life.
Don’tcha got something to say to our leader before you go passin’ out?
Yes…



I did it to protect myself… I’m so sorry for what I’ve done… It feels as though it’s been quite some time since I have felt sincerely apologetic…



Hmph… That may be good… So, I’ve been defeated… Haha… Hahahaha…



Music: Desire








Will I really be able to kill the Phantom Thieves if I take that!?
According to Wakaba Isshiki’s research… Temporarily collapsing a Palace will take down anyone inside it as well. The abrupt nature of the collapse means they will be unable to escape without extreme luck.





Shido snatches the medicine out of the researcher’s hands.

Ah!



Okay, he’s clearly not holding anything in his right hand. Anyway, he swallows the pills down.









I must… steer this country! If I don’t who will…!?
What arrogance…



Shido’s image begins to shimmer and distort.




What the--



Huh!?
An explosion…?



But we haven’t taken the Treasure yet…
We’ll talk later! Come on, let’s grab the Treasure and run!

Music: Run, Run, Run!



We can’t get through like--



What is happening!?
Hey, Oracle!
The ship is exploding… but why!?
What kinda sloppy explanation is that!?
I don’t know what’s happening either!
Something might’ve happened to Shido in the real world!
Whaddya mean “something”!?
I don’t know!?



Standing around here isn’t going to help!
We have to run!
Oracle! Are there any other escape routes!?
I’m looking, but…





Our path…
Still, where else can we go…!?



Are we… sinking…?
We are not going to die like this!

Ryuji’s Sprint (Watch this)

Music: Collapse of Pride









I don’t know how to swim!



Let’s go!




We just gotta get there…
It’s too far! We won’t reach it in time…!






Hang tight. I’ll nab the boat!



Ryuji!











Ryuji punches himself in the leg, then keeps running.






Ryuji!














Oh, Ryuji, you cad.



Hang on!
We’re moving!

easily the smartest thing he's done all game, at least if he cacks it then his co-conspirators can still ruin the country in his stead

if he confesses it pulls the entire organization down with him

Why would he care about his co-conspirators, those people aren't Shido.

I mean obviously he's doing it solely out of spite and that's just a bonus for them.

taking an extremely generous view of shido's character (i.e. assuming he has one) then his megalomania is coupled with a sincere belief that his vision for the nation is the only correct one

you know, the vision that was never actually articulated upon in any way, but moving past that

if he's going to basically suffer ego death then it's reasonable that he'd rather suffer actual death and leave his agenda intact
