“A young intern whose mother was a pokemon researcher! She mainly works remotely from her dad's cafe, but she's dead set on someday being able to visit her mother's lab. She's great with pokemon, with her umbreon providing comfort from darkness.”

Today I offer @naometry and I's BM Joker. He's a teeny tiny bit murdery, but that's okay.

He can have some murder, as a treat <3

Been seeing the trope about the villain burning down the world for their loved one a lot as of late and like

It just made me think of shuake because you know, Akira was kinda down for it and he is a hero

And Akechi, your know, his love, his greatest wish, didn't let him do it, he'd be dissapointed and angry at him had he done so

Because Akechi loves him as much, or even more, than to see him betray their bond like that and i just keep thinking about it

Would Akechi, you know, our so called villain, burned down the world for Akira?

And to devour you in the night is but a start

officially reached 100 hrs in my persona save

"kasumi was always so insistent about that. ...and, thinking about it now, i guess she was right all along."

I swear to god the more I think about how Sumi's toxic/negative thoughts and behavior along with the filter's red flags were not only fully ignored but even outright ENABLED and sometimes mocked by the people around her the more horrified I feel guys. Again, fuck Shujin Academy. Not only that but her whole experience at Shujin just felt so... Isolating. It doesn't excuse it and she needed to grow out of it but it's definitely little to no wonder she primarily clung onto and became dependent on Maruki and Joker for a while.

Like her peers, Shujin faculty, hell even well intentioned ones like Maruki and even her father just kept enabling and putting on temporary bandaids thinking that what's currently happening to her and their ideas to help her were gonna benefit her in the long run when they just... Unwittingly make it worse. It's primarily when Joker steps in to tell her to STOP with the delusions and unhealthy behavior that she finally starts to show actual improvement and snap out of it. Same with her coach who had been trying to tell her to stop from the beginning.

Like don't get me wrong, Maruki and her father aren't horrible and DO care about her compared to Shujin but they kinda still unwittingly contributed to her problems by allowing her to live a lie as Kasumi. But on the other end of the spectrum, there's the added nuance that she did feel like the filter did help her (she was suicidal for Pete's sake) but also felt that she didn't need it anymore because it's ultimately not healthy and just a bandaid solution.

That and she acknowledged and admitted her own faults in the situation saying that she wasn't any better. Actually the more I think about it, the more I realize that one of the mental hangups she's dealing with is being so caught up in her own problems that she doesn't see the bigger picture of things (Kasumi not being this perfect person, Maruki's suffering despite his kindness and smiles, etc.). She even mentions it in a safe room dialogue and can even be shown in the flashback of Kasumi's death. It just kinda adds more to her selfishness even when her feelings are understandable and Kasumi's behavior and methods of helping can definitely come off as condescending to anyone. It just reached MASSIVELY unhealthy levels along with people around her enabling the toxic behaviors (Maruki included).

I guess a tl;dr is that she IS an interesting critique on Japan's fucked up mental health system and stigmas along with Maruki and I feel like people should talk about this more because it's so interesting to dissect.
