THE POSITIVE & NEGATIVE; Meme.
Mun
&
Muse
fill out & repost ♥ This meme definitely favors canons more, but I hope OC’s still can make it somehow work with their own lore, and lil’ fandom of friends & mutuals. Multi-Muses pick the muse you are the most invested in atm.
tagged by: @dxfiedfxte
tagging: u. Pretend I tagged you.
MY MUSE IS: canon / oc / au (If my half baked AU verses count) / slightly canon-divergent (maybe???) / fandomless / complicated.
IS YOUR CHARACTER POPULAR IN THE FANDOM? YES / NO. (Not as popular as Yosuke or Yu but she’s hanging around.)
IS YOUR CHARACTER CONSIDERED HOT™ IN THE FANDOM? YES / NO / IDK.
IS YOUR CHARACTER CONSIDERED STRONG IN THE FANDOM? YES / NO / IDK.
ARE THEY UNDERRATED? YES / NO / IDK. (Seriously though, she doesn’t even help the IT save Nanako in the manga. And can I have a figure of Naoto that isn’t hideous?)
WERE THEY RELEVANT FOR THE MAIN STORY? YES / NO
WERE THEY RELEVANT FOR THE MAIN CHARACTER? YES / NO / THEY’RE THE PROTAG.
ARE THEY WIDELY KNOWN IN THEIR WORLD? YES / NO. (It always baffled me that nobody seemed to recognize Naoto when they saw her at Tatsumi Textiles. Like you’re telling me they didn’t recognize the hat or the ridiculous coat?)
HOW’S THEIR REPUTATION? GOOD / BAD / NEUTRAL. (Italicized bad and neutral because the police think she’s a stinky kid that shouldn’t even breathe in the same room they do. But they can’t ignore how good she is at solving cases!)
HOW STRICTLY DO YOU FOLLOW CANON? — A mix of canon and HC stuff, but I try to be as canon as I can. There are a few things I didn’t vibe with though, so I uh... yeeted those out. Not too much tho.
SELL YOUR MUSE! Aka try to list everything, which makes your muse interesting in your opinion to make them spicy for your mutuals. — If I have to sell my version of her, uhh... you want a Naoto that isn’t as well-adjusted as the games/anime/manga seem to think she is? Then come talk to this Naoto... Force her to open up about her trauma. She cries when talking to other Naotos. If I had put an ounce of thought into my AU verses, you could’ve had different flavors of Naoto. You can uh, see soft and caring Naoto once you break her walls down. The real prize is... getting her to show a real, genuine smile and be happy for once in her miserable life. Healing is caring guysss. help me this is so hard.
Now the OPPOSITE, list everything why your muse could not be so interesting (even if you may not agree, what does the fandom perhaps think?). — She’s the last member to join the IT, so she was banned from a lot of things like the beach date in Golden. Probably a little boring compared to the rest of the IT. They have notable quirks but Naoto is just... :/ she exists. As for my Naoto, without rambling on for too long, she can talk to the others fine and make snide comments every now and then. Getting to know more about her is hard because she’s like “there’s no point cuz I’m leaving after the case is solved. so go awayyyy”. I’d explain more but this post is already way too long.
WHAT INSPIRED YOU TO RP YOUR MUSE? — I wanted to get better at writing her so I figured that bouncing her off of different people’s interpretations of characters would shape her into a defined thing instead of a blob. Look, I never said my origin story would be a riveting tale.
WHAT KEEPS YOUR INSPIRATION GOING? — Me being salty that Atlus doesn’t love and respect Naoto as much as I do. I have to scour around for Naoto lore crumbs, I have to give her the depth she deserves. I am forever mad about the existence of Persona x Detective Naoto. My hatred for that spinoff is 10% of why I made her arena route canon. Also the arena manga adaptation sucks ass. Not Ultimax. That one is good.
Some more personal questions for the mun.
Give your mutuals some insight about the way you are in some matters, which could lead them to get more comfortable with you or perhaps not.
DO YOU THINK YOU GIVE YOUR CHARACTER JUSTICE? YES / NO / I SINCERELY HOPE I DO? (Insert bugs bunny no meme here.)
DO YOU FREQUENTLY WRITE HEADCANONS? YES / NO / SORT OF? (Before I considered RP, I stole a bunch of prompt and headcanon memes with the intention to work on them and flesh Naoto out so she’d have depth. Then my stolen goods collected dust, so... *sad trombone noises*)
DO YOU SOMETIMES WRITE DRABBLES? YES / NO (Technically it’s fanfic chapters and unfinished WIPs, but sometimes. You can stare at some of my awful drabs here.)
DO YOU THINK A LOT ABOUT YOUR MUSE DURING THE DAY? YES / NO (Ever since I saw the P4 anime—subbed because my weeb brain took over—my mind has been consumed with Naoto. I have over 600 Naoto icons. Just the other day, I was thinking about Naoto pensively eating a half cooked corndog in a barely lit kitchen and quietly sobbing. Don’t ask for context. My brain does that sometimes.)
ARE YOU CONFIDENT IN YOUR PORTRAYAL? YES / NO / SORT OF? (I think she’s bleh, but if people—and other Naoto RPers—are following me, then it means I’m doing something right. Somehow.)
ARE YOU CONFIDENT IN YOUR WRITING? YES / NO / A LITTLE BIT. (I wish it were more descriptive, but Naoto is usually concise and to the point.)
ARE YOU A SENSITIVE PERSON? YES / NO. / SORTA.
DO YOU ACCEPT CRITICISM WELL ABOUT YOUR PORTRAYAL? — I came out here to improve her, so feed me your wisdom, as long as you’re not an ass about it.
DO YOU LIKE QUESTIONS WHICH HELP YOU TO EXPLORE YOUR CHARACTER? — There are definitely things I’ve never thought about, so spam my inbox.
IF SOMEONE DISAGREES TO A HEADCANON OF YOURS, DO YOU WANT TO KNOW WHY? — It’s interesting to see other perspectives. I do try to base most of my HCs off what’s been shown in canon, so if something contradicts it, I will consider changing it. If it’s something like my “Naoto got stabbed when she was 14” HC then no, I’m not changing it fuck you. I put too much work in for that one.
IF SOMEONE DISAGREES WITH YOUR PORTRAYAL, HOW WOULD YOU TAKE IT? — The unfollow button is your friend. There are other Naoto blogs. She does not vibe with you and that’s fine.
IF SOMEONE REALLY HATES YOUR CHARACTER, HOW DO YOU TAKE IT? — First of all, you have shit taste. I don’t care but like, no need to send me detailed asks about how much you hate Naoto and the ways you’d murder her.
ARE YOU OKAY WITH PEOPLE POINTING OUT YOUR GRAMMATICAL ERRORS? — Please. I hate it when I catch an error after I publish my response.
DO YOU THINK YOU ARE EASY GOING AS A MUN? — I haven’t talked to anyone ooc much, but I think?

perry's verses ive thought of thus far:
-right at the start/around before the start of show happenings canonically
-that gap of time before his death/space for things to veer off course depending+him to die another way,etc
-anywhere within the timeline of before ranging from months/year or so etc to earlier
-au where he didn't go seeking out the usher last name, or join the family at 16 (maybe thus only doing so around the trial/still pretty fresh to the family when everything goes down) or alternatively has mostly been doing his own thing+kept closer to his mother
-likewise obligatory hinted at other reality where things were different au so not really any draw or claim to riches as such (though drawn to some slight wanting to get to know his father+more so an bit intrigued by having siblings)
