I'm pretty sure Joker being like Sleeping Beauty in Royal was intentional. After all, third semester in general has a fairytale theme, with Sumire being Cinderella and Maruki being the Fairy Godmother that grants her (and everyone else's) wishes. But he's also Maleficent, because he puts Sleeping Beauty (Joker) to sleep. Hence Maruki viewing himself as the good guy but also being the bad guy. He gives Sleeping Beauty his Prince Charming (Akechi) in order to convince him to stay within the dream of the false reality, but fails to realize what Prince Charming's goal is in every telling of the story. To wake Sleeping Beauty. Hence, Akechi being the most against the fake reality and being the one to convince Joker not to stay in the reality. By failing to admit his role as the villain, Maruki brings about his own demise in the form of Akechi. It's so well done I can't imagine it being anything but intentional. I mean, Joker even walks with Akechi, "once upon a dream" if one considers the fake reality akin to a dream.
^^^ YEAH!!!!!! YOU GET IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 🧨💥🧨💥🧨💥
i find the irony of goro and maruki’s varying self-awareness levels to be RESPLENDENT!! like here we have goro who has always desperately yearned to be the hero and yet he’s resigned himself to playing the role of villain, the big bad wolf killing mothers and fathers and plotting against the righteous thieves… but come third semester he’s the heroic prince charming saving sleeping beauty!!
(although i like my yaoi toxic, i have to admit how perfectly akira and goro click together as two halves of a whole; they intrigue and excite each other, fulfill their savior complexes and desire to be known intimately, bring the best and worst out of each other...) these two freaks are literally this:
anyways i like to daydream that in the euthanasia ending (i enjoy how horrifying and clinical that name is) even after the rest of the world has long forgotten akira, goro, who has always been stubbornly aware and driven by the truth (i mean, both his AOA's talk about the truth; the boy is FIXATED), will eventually make his way up sleeping beauty’s tower to wake up his love…
and then there’s the other part of the irony: maruki who thinks himself to be his new reality’s messiah but is actually the real Big Bad woa!! a classic evil queen, the evil stepmother, coraline’s other mother trying to trap her in her spiderweb… amazing!!! like u said, he’s simultaneously sumi’s fairy godmother and akira’s villainous fairy! everyday i thank the devs for adding third semester bcuz hoo boy did it elevate p5 to the high heavens!!
i’ve always been very fond of the sleeping beauty parallels in p5, but i’d never thought about it thoroughly enough to realize how instrumental goro’s prince charming role is in dismantling malecificent’s curse! thank u for opening my eyes!! i’m literally giddy from glee!!!

nanananan nanashi 4 ask game🥹
favorite thing about them: NANASHI HAS STYLE, and I will die on that hill. People bitch and moan about Nanashi's "ugly" design, but he is PUNK and that fits really well with IVA's themes. I'd rather have a protagonist with a totally unique appearance than yet another bland kid. Maybe that is antithesis to the roots of SMT (they've always favored bland "nobody" characters), but I am nonetheless sticking to my stance. I love that he is dressed for the part as a Hunter, but still embraces his own sense of identity and style -- which frankly is important and natural for teens. I feel the same way about Asahi's own style. I love that Nanashi's design incorporates aspects of the two Akiras from IV. HE. HAS. GOOD. DESIGN.
least favorite thing about them: Once again this is more of an issue I have with IVA's writing and it is not solely about Nanashi, but I do wish that IVA did explore Akira's motivations more (especially with rescuing his sister, which is just absent in IVA) and how his actions and choices would've later impacted his later reincarnated self. There's a lot of stuff that Akira did in the background of IV that only barely gets examined IVA. Akira's "betrayal" toward the Hunters and Nanashi falling into that same fate makes for an interesting foil, but is just another foil that gets resolved way too quickly for my liking. Nanashi saves the day by repelling the Tokugawa Mandela and is immediately forgiven and praised by all with almost hardly any skepticism. Again it's an issue I have with IVA at large, but it still leaves me wanting more out of the characters and their development.
favorite line: Can I even say I have a favorite line from a silent protagonist, lol? I can say that I do like how "extreme" Nanashi is with his answers, either being very openly kind to downright crass and cold. It's much more extreme than some of Flynn's answers in IV. Arguably it makes IVA's alignment choices too obvious, but I like that it gives Nanashi a polarizing personality and it fits with his design too. Plus some of his anarchy answers are downright hilarious.
Additionally, I'm also amazed at Nanashi's "Dagda!" voice clip in the massacre route. For most of the game, he calls for Dagda in such a high-pitched voice. But as soon as you're locked in massacre, his voice suddenly turns really gruff and deep. Lmao??
brOTP: HE IS BROS WITH EVERYONE. But especially with Asahi, Hallelujah, and Navarre! I love his caring sibling relationship with Asahi, I love him being best of buds with Hallelujah, and I love that Navarre is basically like the cool fun uncle to him.
I posted that stupid edit of Morcedai and Rigby earlier, but actually Nanashi and Hallelujah are WAY more like Morcedai and Rigby. That's them for realll.
OTP: Nanashi x Hallelujah NATION LET'S GO. I will absolutely ship them both as bros and as a pair! They have the best ever chemistry.
nOTP: Yeah so, I really do not like Asahi x Nanashi and I hate seeing Nanashi get shipped with adults. Stop it. Enough said.
random headcanon: I like to imagine that, even before the events of IVA, Nanashi has always had dreams of his past life -- just not as frequently or as "unusual" as they later would be, stuff that he'd just brush off and keep to himself. I also like to think that, partly cause of that, he feels a closeness or yearning towards the Sky Tower and Firmanent but cannot put into words as to why.
unpopular opinion: Nanashi's concept design (the one where he's older, has glasses, and the giant robot arm) sucks and I'm tired of people saying it is "superior" than Nanashi's final design. Maybe the older design would have worked better for an earlier story concept, but for the way IVA is now, it fucking sucks. You can't just switch Nanashi's design with that and expect it to seamlessly work with the game's narrative. People complain about Nanashi being a "discount Demi-fiend", but actually Nanashi's design is much more subtle and it HAS to be in order to work with the narrative. A giant robot arm is the very opposite of subtle.
God I'm just, so pissed at people saying Nanashi's design is "bad". I'm pissed I'm pissed!!
song I associate with them: I'm just gonna cross these out with all asks going forward, I am not good at picking songs lmao.
favorite picture of them:
Once again, it's Nanashi's precious smile~!
Thank you for the ask!!

writer q&a tag Game
thanks @fleurtygurl for the tag!!! you can find her post here
1. What motivates you to write?
all of my lovely mutuals and anyone who has reached out asking for more information about my works are what motivate me everyday to keep writing. just knowing that someone is interested in what i write is enough to keep me going.
2. A line/short snippet of your writing that you are most proud/happy of. If not maybe share a line of someone else's work you love (just please credit them).
i might post the rest of this ltr if i feel like it, but for now here’s a lil snippet from 2083:
Genji was sincere in everything he said, his devotion coming from the depths of his soul. He longed to give Akira everything his heart desired, even if it meant giving up all that he worked for. He yearned to provide Akira with a life worth living, a life filled with joy and free from the pains and pressures of the outside world—a life where Akira could truly find happiness.
3. What part of writing do you think you are the best at? (Yes stroke your own ego it's okay)
i’m not too good at writing dialogue, but something that i’ve always thought i was best at is writing scene descriptions—i feel as though with a paragraph or two, i can easily set the mood for the rest of the chapter.
4. What do you enjoy most about the Writeblr community?
i love how sweet and kind everyone in the writeblr community is. when i first started posting about my wips, i remember thinking that no one was going to care, but when people started reaching out, asking questions about my writing and showing interest, i felt a lot more confident in sharing my works. so ty to my moots and everyone else who’s part of the writeblr community:)
5. A writing tool/device you use that helps you with writing? (It could be speech-to-text, a writing program etc)
some sites i use to help me write are notion and reedsy. they help me organize my ideas so i don’t spend hours getting lost in my thoughts about how a particular chapter or storyline is supposed to progress.
6. A piece of worldbuilding that you like in your own story? (It could be the magic system, a particular place in the story, a law etc).
i really like the class divisions of 2083, especially since it helps build a contrast between Akira’s and Genji’s characters and early in the story.
7. What piece of advice would you say to encourage others to write if they are having a rough patch?
at this point in time, i might be the worst person to ask this question since i’ve just been thugging it out for the past month or so, but i think talking to other people, especially another writer, is a good way to get through a rough patch, since they can provide you with words of encouragement or advice for how to progress with your story. or, if you don’t feel like talking to another person, try talking aloud to yourself—that usually helps me catch mistakes and inconsistencies in my storyline or helps me come up with ideas.
kinda too tired to tag ppl sooo open tag for anyone who wants to do this :))

Sincerely, a Rainbow of stories for you:
Please Tell Me the Story of the Rainbow: Part 10
(Location: Exhibition at an Old Castle, Central Kingdom, Day Time)
Aslan: No actually… it’s the world she sees.
Akira: ?
Suddenly, I remembered Snow and White’s words.
The world in the picture books actually exists, but it would be impossible for most to witness it.
Akira: …I heard that even powerful wizards are seldom able to witness that mysterious world. Is Luka… really able to do so?
Aslan: Yes, though it’d be hard for us to imagine such a thing… As long as I can remember, that child has had the ability to see such sights.
Although we cannot, she can certainly see the mysterious world that exists there.
The flowing celadon colored clouds and the dark blue lake that sparkles among mysterious swaying grass and fragrant flowers…
Akira: … By any chance are there rainbow colored butterflies and fluffy animals running about?
Aslan: There are. Everything Luka draws is real scenery she’s seen.
Akira: How can you be sure? You aren’t able to see it yourself…
Aslan: Haha, you’re right about that. At first, I’d believed that all wizards were like that. They are said to be mysterious beings who see things humans can’t.
Luka was actually the first Wizard I’d met. She spoke so happily about invisible scenes painted in different colors than the ones I could see.
I was always thrilled to hear her stories and see her pictures.
Aslan’s gentle voice was tinged with sincerity. The way he spoke excitedly reminded me of a boy yearning for the unknown.
Aslan: I wasn’t really surprised when I later discovered it was a rare talent. No… maybe deep down I already knew.
That child is beloved by her mysterious world. The way she depicts it really makes it seem as though it exists alongside her.
Despite the gleam in Aslan’s eyes, there was a slight gloom there as well.
Aslan: However… though she’d been blessed with these abilities since she was born, it seems it was difficult for others to understand her.
Her words were labeled lies and delusions and were shunned. It seems she was treated quite harshly…
I imagined it as I heard his slightly hoarse voice. Certainly, you can't share what your eyes perceive and your skin feels with those around you.
My heart ached as I remembered how she looked down, her heart closed, as if she was afraid of something.
Akira: Um… what about her parents? Luca is still a child. As far as going home…
Aslan: I don’t really know the details, but it doesn’t seem like she has any relatives.
I came across her when I was visiting the eastern country to collect Art. I came across her on the side of the street and took her in.
Back then, it did not seem that she was well.
I think that I made the right choice back then, but in the end, I was the one who was lucky to meet her.
Akira: Eh?
Aslan: I was the one who fell in love with her talent.
I thought his eyes, containing no lies or hesitation, were like warm sunlight.
Aslan: The only things she had with her were a thin stack of paper and a tattered wood pen.
Then suddenly, a breeze blew the bundle over and I was moved by the world I saw.
It really was beautiful… full of mysterious charm I’d never seen before, it made my heart melt.
At first, no matter how much I tried to tell her that, she wouldn’t accept it. It was as though her heart, which had endured solitude with no one believing her for such a long time, refused to believe in anyone else in turn.
Aslan closed his eyes, as if overcome with nostalgia, and took a deep breath.
Aslan: She is a calm and delicate child, just like the world she depicts. I want many people to learn about her and her world.
Akira: Your message will get across; I’m sure of it.
When they see the world depicted in that picture book, they will surely be absorbed and fascinated.
I was, and I’m not the only one: everyone at the manor, from the children to long lived wizards, were impressed by the world Luca drew.
Aslan: Oh… Thank you very much!
I want many people at the exhibition to see her work, and for her to gain her confidence once more.
That’s why…
???: Aaaah!
At that moment, I heard a loud noise and screams that followed it.
Aslan: That was Luca’s voice-!
Muttering that to himself, Aslan took off towards the source of the screams, and I followed.
When we arrived at the picture book exhibition area, I saw Luca’s small back crouched in the center.
Rutile was beside her, holding her shoulder gently, and Heathcliff was there too.
Akira: Rutile, Heathcliff! What happened?
Looking around, I noticed a large picture book had fallen next to Luca.
Something like ivy was growing from the open page and wiggling around.
Aslan: Luca, could it be, again…
Luca: I-it’s different.
She whispered, shaking her head. Her confused expression made her seem very upset.
Heathcliff: Um… she didn’t do anything wrong. We were the ones who surprised her.
Rutile: When I called out to her, she was surprised and dropped the book. Isn’t that right, Luca?
Luca: …
Suddenly, my vision sparkled like an optical illusion. It looked as though rainbow colored scales appeared out of nowhere and danced through the air surrounding Luca.
Luca: … Roxy.
Luca muttered, staring blankly at the empty space.
Akira: (…Roxy?)
Aslan spoke, while gently patting Luca’s back.
Aslan: Luca, I’m not angry, let’s calm down a little.
Everything is okay. Your exhibit will work out just fine. There is no need to feel anxious, because I am here with you.
Your world will make everyone happy, I guarantee it.
Luca looked down without saying a word, her mouth closed tightly.
Aslan gently placed his large palm on Luca’s head and lowered his eyebrows, as if he was scared.
Aslan: I think she’s a little tired, as her new work is nearing completion. It’s her first time having the opportunity to exhibit her works and I think she’s been nervous for a while.
Aslan glanced at the Ivy growing out of the fallen picture book and let out a breath.
Luca’s thin silver hair swayed as she snuggled close to Asan, but neither of them said a thing.
Heathcliff: …We wizards use our hearts to create magic. That’s why, when our hearts are not calm,our magic power is not stable and we cannot control our magic properly.
Luca: Magic with… your heart…?
Heathcliff: Yes, I also sometimes feel uneasy and find it difficult to use magic…
Heathcliff smiled slightly, like a soft breeze, and continued speaking.
There was an irresistible gentleness in his voice.
Akira: … I understand. My heart, too, gets stiff when I am nervous, and then I only become more anxious when I realize I can’t move as I want…
This is true for me, even as a human, so it must be even more difficult for those of you who use magic with your hearts.
Come to think of it, when I first came to this world, and I still couldn’t tell left from right, I was nervous.
What calmed me down was that blonde person.
Heathcliff: It was… me?
Akira: Yes, when I first woke up at the Manor and we made breakfast together. At that time, he gave me sugar and I felt my heart relax.
Heathcliff: Ah… that’s right.
How nostalgic, I’m a little embarrassed, but I’m glad to hear you say that, Master Sage.
Luca: …Sugar?
What fell from Luca’s pale pink sips was anticipation as sweet as powdered sugar.
Still clutching the fabric of Aslan’s suit, her big eyes looked towards me.
Rutile: Luca, put out your palm.
As if invited by Rutile’s soft smile, Luca stretched out a small palm, resembling a maple leaf.
When Rutile’s fingertips lightly grazed Luca’s palm, star shaped sugar appeared.
Luca: …!
Amazing: it appeared from nothing! Is this… magic?
Rutile: Yes. Wizards cannot create something from nothing, but we can create sugar from magic.
Luca, if you eat this, you will feel better and your heart will calm down. You look a little pale right now, but if you eat this I’m sure you’ll feel better.
Luca: This is sugar…
Shino: You’re a Wizard and you didn’t even know that?
I turned, hearing a familiar voice. Without my noticing, Shino was standing next to me.
Arthur, Mithra, and Murr were also there. They all probably came when they heard the commotion.
Luca: …It’s small, like a star. I should eat this?
Rutile: Please, go ahead!
Akira: It’s sweet and very delicious.
Luca: …
Confusion and curiosity swirled in her big eyes that stared down at the sugar.
At that moment, a long arm suddenly stretched out and snatched the sugar from Luca’s palm.
Akira and Rutile and Heathcliff: ?!
Mithra: *crunching noises* *
Akira: M-Mithra…!
Translator’s note:
*The sound Mithra makes is バリボリ (baribori) it is an onomatopoeic word denoting the eating or chewing of something hard.

WIP Game
Rules: Go to your current WIP and share the following:
The first line of your work.
The first line of your current chapter (or if it’s a one-shot, the first line of the tenth paragraph).
The last line you wrote.
A line for a chapter/part you haven’t written yet.
Tag at least 3 people whose work you wanna see, and if you make a separate post for it, please link the original.
I was tagged by @nardaviel to do this game! I figured why not participate in a little fun and also share little snippets of my upcoming longfic? :3
First line of the work:
“By all accounts, Goro Akechi was supposed to be dead.”
The first line of the current chapter I’m working on:
“Akira thought that adjusting to the life of a househusband would be easier.”
The last line I wrote:
“Again, this was getting…very complicated, to say the least. Akira had hoped that maybe this world would spontaneously implode or something before he had to come clean to his now husband. But it was still here, they were still married and Akira was balls deep into scrubbing this stubborn piece of stuck rice off this godforsaken bowl.
Okay. Yeah. Maybe it was time to stop playing house. As horrible as the repercussions would be, Akira owed it to Akechi to confess. Who knows—maybe with all his ‘glorious intelliect’, he’d have a few ideas on how to get him back home.”
Line for a part I haven’t written yet (got carried away might delete later 🤪✌🏻)
“‘Something wrong?’ Kurusu asked him.
Akechi blinked, scrambling to find an excuse. ‘No, just…sometimes this feels a little…unreal, don’t you think?’
‘What do you mean?’
‘This,’ Akechi said, surprisingly breathless. He stepped closer to Kurusu. ‘Us.’
‘Yeah. I get that too, sometimes.’ Kurusu looked equally as serious, setting down the basket of laundry and closing the distance between them. ‘Even now, it can feel…hard to believe.’
‘Heh. Sometimes I wonder how truly insane you must be to have married me.’
Kurusu grinned. That shit-eating grin Akechi hated. ‘I never said I was normal, did I?’
Exhaustion caused people to do strange things. Some studies say that exhaustion can almost impair someone’s judgement to that of a drunkard. And that really could be the only logical explanation for why Akechi pressed his lips to Kurusu’s own.
Before he could even ask himself why the living fuck he did that, Kurusu wrapped an arm around the small of his back and pressed them flush together. Akechi couldn’t escape, not that fleeing was much of a tangible thought right now.
No, Akechi was too distracted by swallowing the bitterness down his throat and just fucking yielding to this. Just this once. Just this once. He had never thought about kissing someone before this timeline. Except maybe with Kurusu a few times. Maybe more than a few times.
And look at what he was doing right now.
This kiss lasted a little more than 4 seconds. Truthfully it might’ve lasted a minute, maybe more. Akechi couldn’t get enough of the plush and warmth of Kurusu’s lips, a warmth that could only be exuded by a living being, a warmth that Akechi never wanted to admit he craved until now.
Somewhere along the line tongue got involved. If Akechi thought Kurusu’s lips were warm before, they were nothing compared to the pure heat of his mouth, slipping past his own lips and invading his entire being. Akechi tangled his hands into the fabric of Akira’s shirt, growing fervid from the other man’s soft hums and quiet pants, feeling like he may burst at the seams at any moment.
Shit. This was evil. This was delicious. Maybe this was everything Akechi imagined and then some.
When they both found it within themselves to pull back, they were flushed, breathless. Akira stared back at him, eyes blown wide with something resembling desperation and uncertainty and yearning, all at once.
They were on the razor’s edge. One more push. One more move and Akechi would be done for. His carefully crafted being would burn to ash, leaving a fool in the cinders.
And one thought kept his flame burning, alive: no matter what, this wasn’t real.
It wasn’t.”
I’ll tag users @sixteen-juniper @honeysweetcorvidae @ser-estinien to participate in the game! Let me know if you’d like to be tagged and I can add you as well 💚

I don’t think I ever told you guys about this so I’m gonna now. If I have already talked about it you’re getting my thoughts anyway.
Yes this is about Jun and Akechi parallels again. Spoilers for Persona 2 and 5.
I finished Tangled: The Series recently and wow wow wow, it’s too good for it’s own good. Spoilers for both season 1 and 3 if you haven’t seen it.
But I think one of the best parts is the songs. The singers are all Broadway actors and the music is all Alan Menken, so that’s not a surprise, but still.
One of my favorite songs comes from late in the series, the duet between Cass and Varian.
Listen to this if you haven’t seen it and don’t care about spoilers.
So, this song is about Varian attempting to convince Cass that what she’s doing is wrong and she’s going to regret it. He’s telling her this based on his own experiences, because he has done things he regrets and is now working to try and make things right, but nothing’s going to be the same.
This song always makes me think of a persona Q type scenario where Jun and Akechi meet, right around the time before Akechi betrays the thieves and kills Akira, and right around the time after Jun joins Tatsuya and the others.
I’ve talked in length about the difference in Jun and Akechi’s mindsets, despite their similar actions. Both betrayed their teammates, their friends, for the sake of revenge. Both end up regretting those actions. But both respond to that regret in very different ways.
I imagine this song like Jun attempting to appeal to Akechi and get him to rethink what he’s about to do. I imagine Jun thinking about all that he’s lost in his fight for fruitless revenge, and how he doesn’t want Akechi to succumb to the same fate.
But Akechi sees Jun and sees nothing but a coward and a failure. They are nothing alike, because Akechi’s going to win. Jun allowed himself to be manipulated and controlled, but Akechi would never be so weak as to let that happen. The irony is that Akechi is so so wrong about that, in the same way that Cass was being manipulated and didn’t realize it.
The path of hate is a dangerous track. You take one step and it's hard to turn back. It pulls you along, And though it seems wrong it feels right
Don't you see this path you're on leaves a permanent mark. It feels good at first, then it slowly turns dark. With each passing day, You're further astray from the light
Suddenly, you lose your way and lose the thread. Lose your cool, then lose your head. Every loss is harder to excuse
Then you'll see you'll lose your faith and lose your soul, 'Til you lose complete control, And realize there's nothing left to lose. Nothing left to lose
Jun was manipulated and lied to for so long. By the end of it, he was nothing but a brainwashed husk of what he once was. And when he was finally able to break away - when he was cast aside by the evil that had used him for so long - he found himself lost and empty. And despite his attempts to make things right, he couldn’t take back his actions. His friends found it difficult to forgive him… to the point where Tatsuya’s shadow stated plainly that he hates Jun for what he did. Jun has lost so much on his path to vengeance, he doesn’t even know who he is supposed to be anymore.
The path I'm on is a path paved in black. I'm taking that road and I'm not looking back. Each twist and each turn, Leads straight where I'm yearning to go
Yes, it's true, my path is dark but I see where it ends. My rivals will fall as my power ascends. Despise me, that's fine, I'm taking what's mine even so
Not like you. You lost your nerve, you lost the game. But you and I, we're not the same. I'm not lost, this fate was mine to choose
So I chose to lose my doubts and lose my chains. Lose each weakness that remains. Now that I have nothing left to lose. Nothing left to lose
Akechi knows that what he’s doing will be perceived as evil by others. He knows that what he’s doing isn’t righteous or good. He doesn’t care. All that matters to him is that he accomplishes his goals, no matter what that takes. “My rivals will fall as my power ascends.” That is such an Akechi line. He sees Akira as an obstacle to his end goal, nothing more. And Jun? What a joke. He lost. He let himself be controlled, and that was his downfall. That will not happen to Akechi, because Akechi is paving his own path and making his own choices. Whatever that means, whatever he has to give up, he will do it. He made that decision a long time ago, and he won’t allow himself to be driven off that path by anyone for any reason.
Oh, the irony. Akechi should’ve listened to Jun.
I would’ve loved a persona Q with P2 and P5. There are so many possibilities.
Anyway go watch Tangled the Series if you haven’t already.

@phantomuheist said: 62 (for Futaba or Akechi)
Spotify Wrapped Starters || Accepting || Roll: #62 Strawberry Skies - Kid Travis
There's a calm that washes over the conversation, urging his impatience (or maybe resentment) to manifest at the tips of his fingertips, dancing along the counter's surface. A painted smile with hungry eyes looks for answers he best not voice questions to lest he want to soil his brewing plans. Though he knew most of his questions were pointed, were they really for Akira or to fate? Silly as it may sound, there was an innocent, naïve part of himself that still believed in fate and how it seemed to pick favorites. That no matter his trials or accomplishments he was still coming to terms with the fact that he would never be one and somehow, Akira had won its favor.
That stung.
That word, 'fate', rotted in his mouth. How a boy no better than the garbage neglected on the ground could accrue so much fortune baffled Akechi. To think that fate would be cruel enough to throw every little bit of Akira's journey in his face on top of swallowing that painful truth felt so personal that he could almost taste the blood of the wounds left behind each and every savage blow he's taken. Yet he persists, feeding into a plan he'd long since half-abandoned in favor of appeasing his curiosity— or perhaps, yearning for what could have been, in simple questions.
"Can I tell you a secret?" He starts, almost too chipper for the slightly dejected expression he wears despite the war raging on within himself. "I tried to make myself dinner the other night but as it turns out, it was completely inedible. I don't suppose curry is the only thing you know how to make, is it?"

*:･ﾟ✧*:･ﾟ✧ ohh how about lance and keith with an s/o who has elemental powers!! (i’ve always had this idea in the back of my head but i cannot write so i’m requesting it 😌✨)
oceana terra - headcanons
fluff
(voltron legendary defender — romantic! keith kogane x waterbender! reader; romantic! lance x earthbender! reader)
if a world with a giant robot as the universe's strongest weapon exists, there's bound to be a part of that universe where element bending also exists
cw / bloodbending
a/n — uh hi :) for once, i have nothing to say other than i miss keith akira kogane and lance mcclain. space bfs for the win ! oh and also the lance mcclain portion of my personality analysis advice column is in the works anon !! but anyway, the bending shown is loosely based off atla / tlok, so enjoy mwah !
keith
this angsty boy has such a fiery personality (him, zuko, and mako are the holy red trope trinity and you can fight me on it) that it's the literal law (my law, you can reference all my atla / tlok fics for that later lmao) that he end up with someone opposite his elemental vibe thus ending up with a waterbender
but your powers are a little more broad, so any liquid also ends up in your spectrum to bend
the plot twist is that you grew up thinking you were a human, enrolling in the galaxy garrison completely unaware you weren't human at all, instead a rare species of bender the galra yearn to destroy
you always wondered why you were always so attracted to any vast body of liquid despite being trained as a fighter pilot
but it all made sense when allura explained it to you since you weren't a paladin but "made for greater things" and keith took a really long time to process it
he didn't know if it was because of the actual news or because you immediately made a water pun upon finding out (lance who? and sokka? we don't know them we only know y/n l/n in this household)
keith doesn't treat you any differently, but you lowkey have to work up to the amount of trust you had from pre-voltron events
it's just a big deal for you and you don't really know how to deal with it, and on top of that keith just has an existential crisis since he liked you because you were so familiar and then they drop the waterbending bomb on him
but y'all get through it after lance annoys him enough bc his banter makes him miss you (for payback you freeze lance's cups of water during breakfast)
omg pidge keeping up with the earth calendar in space and you make it snow in the castle on christmas !!!
also epic pool fights >>> expect the pool to turn into a water park
anyway back to the regularly scheduled headcanons
imagine keith being touch starved, it gets worse bc you feel as though he shouldn't hold your hand or you'll accidentally hurt him or something (this boy just needs to be protected someone give him a hug, cause it ain't gonna be me)
you compromise with tapping each other's hands or loose pinkies interwined (ohh just wait till you bloodbend)
your relationship is definitely spontaneous, hot headed, and badass af !!! with an emphasis on competitive
and i mean competitive, the vibe just goes through the roof after discovering your powers
y'all would always fight for the top grades in your crew bc you were baby and you wanted to make shiro proud but y'all took it to a whole other level in space
choose your fighter: a beginning waterbender who's being trained by an ancient altean or a fast learner who happens to wield a sword?? my bet is on the fast learner (everyone has bets on who wins between y'all, it's a weekly match at this point)
my mind immediately going to angst oop- okay keith has been through a lot okay, his mom left, his dad died, shiro was previously announced dead, and now you're a waterbender who can manipulate the water in one's body
however allura didn't think to inform you of mf bloodbending, so it came off as a shock when you did it upon being captured in season seven and zethrid and ezor had pidge
you shut down, and it was so hard to talk to you even if you shared a space in the black lion with keith (jeez poor krolia having to hear that confrontation)
but when you let it out, keith is right there and he tells you of the times he's been scared of himself whenever his galran side pops out sometimes
and he tells you how he's going to be there with you and that at least y'all will finally have some familiarity being back on earth (jokes on you-)
it's a big step though because keith vocalizing things is a rarity but he's also a simp for you and he'd do anything to make you feel better
especially after he left for the blades so if anything he's just making up for lost time
lance
this boy has had feelings for you since the minute he met you and thinks the whole universe of you
they had found you in a galra prison during a simple recon mission, which then turned into saving you, as the rumors of the galra finding rare benders and exploiting them for their power turned out to be true
well they didn't actually have to save you, you mocked one of the guards enough to have them let you go and you wrecked them with the surrounding metal in the room
lance had been the one to come and retrieve you, to which you weren't expecting the paladins to find you anytime soon so it surprised you when you were met with a laser gun to your head, and suddenly he was pinned in metal
he may have enjoyed that a little too much and wanted to kiss you right then and there, having literal heart eyes at your intense glare, and as per usual shiro had to come to the rescue
but since you were a high risk prisoner due to your powers, the paladins thought it would be safer if you stayed with them until you could go into hiding (which means once sam holt is found, you're headed to earth because you look human enough and you could help make earth believe in alien life)
which meant spending more time with lance !!
okay but lance has always been for having a badass powerful significant other wbk, so it's no surprise y'all ended up together
he says your bending makes the relationship more fun and thrilling (he just has a type okay)
and his sparring sessions are actually challenging for once
but also y'all just work well together, two peas in a pod, two people sharing one braincell, the like
y'all do self care nights !!! and y'all happen to be quite the explorers so occasionally on foreign planets you'll find stones, turning them into crystals with your bending
lance was so in awe that there's always a pack of stones waiting for you in your room, and you've amounted to so many little crystals that you make jewelry together
it can be a separate date on its own or something to pass the time while wearing face masks
the first thing he made were matching bracelets, it was pretty cute
but when he's sad he'll just pull up to your room, pull out the space crystals (you totally have a stash of self care products for when lance isn't ready to leave your room) and make jewelry for his family as an homage to them
he'll ramble on and on about them, stopping abruptly to be able to string the tiny crystals along into a bracelet or when he needs utmost concentration
but you listen wholeheartedly, contributing to the abundance of bracelets and other trinkets in hopes they'll like them too
it's a small gesture, but for lance that's enough (and that's when he realizes he loves you)
when you inevitably leave for earth, he gets sad because you'll have to be experiencing earth without him, but thinks it's a perfect time to give you the promise ring with a special crystal he managed to find without you
he finally tells you he loves you and promises to see you back on earth (he got a little carried away and made you a video for earth too for days you missed him, however you accidentally gave it to his family and they immediately took you in as their own; especially veronica who took you under her wing as you venture the garrison together)
aw and when you and lance reunite it's the cutest thing he has a mf heart attack
granted you hug keith first bc he didn't necessarily have anyone to come home to and he was family considering y'all are lowkey alike, and you ramble about how you jumpstarted and metalbended a train with veronica when lance just pulls you into a kiss like bro i missed you
the mcclain family cheers him on bc their baby is here alive and thriving but keith is like ugh ew gross
but everything is almost back to normal bc you and lance are together again and that is all that matters !!!

James March Death Sentence
Summary- The story of an infamous serial killer, James March, and the murder that ended him.
Words- 912
Warnings- Death, suicide.
In this story James is not a ghost and ghosts do not exist.
This wasn’t requested, but nevertheless I hope you enjoy! :)
----
A security guard walked down the corridor of the mental institute, walking towards the room of not only the most notorious patient in the building, but also the most notorious serial killer of the last century. James Patrick March had murdered over 150 people in his mere 35 years of life, but the information only came to light earlier this year, after his last kill, and his only manslaughter. He was being closely inspected after being incredibly suicidal after the death of his wife.
He clearly had fallen in love with his guardian angel quickly, having married her only after a year of first meeting her. Their wedding was far from humble, taking up majority of his murder palace, more famously known as the Hotel Cortez, where between celebrations he murdered three of the guests that joked about his bride. He was clearly a protective husband, refusing to tell her about his dark hobby until it the secret became a strain on their marriage.
His maid Hazel Evers, who helped in the murderous activities and was later sentenced to only 5 years, was for years infatuated with the hotel owner. She wasn’t above rude comments to every bride he had and the occasional eye roll at their affection. Although the lady of the Cortez was patient, after a putting up with verbal abuse from his maid for over a year of their marriage, she eventually had to tell her husband. But with every uncertain word and hesitant noise from him, she couldn’t help but assume the worst. When she confronted him about his affair with the maid, he defensively refused, assuring her that the secret Miss Evers was hiding wasn’t based on love, but death.
He eventually knew that he could hide it no longer, but instead of telling his wife, he decided to show her. They went hand in hand to his Trophy Room, filled with severed body parts of his victims that he kept as memorabilia in glass jars on lit-up shelves. She was not only devastated, that the love of her life had proven to be a psychopath who fed on the pain and anguish of others, but also mortified, that one day if their love dies, having her heart metaphorically won’t be enough for him, and he will rip it out of her chest for his shelf.
She was rightfully fearful that he would hurt her, and no matter how many times the sobbing killer assured her it wouldn’t happen, she was proven right. When she reached for the handle of the heavy door to the freezing room, his heart skipped a beat, thinking she may not keep his double life a secret and he would end up in jail without her, for the rest of his life. As he leaped towards her, wrapping his arms around her tightly, he pushed her against the door, trying to keep her from leaving. But when the back of her head, the medulla oblongata, hit the metal lock on the door, impaling her just slightly, her body flopped in his arms as she instantly became his first manslaughter, and last victim.
He proved his devotion to his wife, turning himself into the police immediately, only being let out of prison in his first month once, to attend her funeral, at which he for the first time tried to jump into oncoming traffic, only to be held back by the guards. With every attempt to end his life and join her, his sanity deteriorated, until there was no other choice but to be put into a mental institution, where he was to spend the rest of his life.
The cells were far from the luxury he was used to, but James March had to be observed often, making sure that the few things he was allowed to have in his room wouldn’t end fatally for him. But as the guard entered his room, he noticed just the body of March and dropped the key in his hand to the floor. He was laying lifeless, with only his diary by his side, and his bedsheets tied around the bars in the windows and at his neck. When the guard walked over slowly to him, he picked up his diary and flicked to the entry before the last.
Although I yearn for the release of death and any numbing of my suffering, the only thing that alludes me about sleep and keeps me far from it, is the knowledge that tomorrow I will miss my beloved even more than I did today. This is the longest I’ve been away from her since the day I met her and it is proving to be unbearable. The second she took her last breath and her life ended, as did mine.
No amount of training before working in this dark depressing place will prepare a guard to witness something like this. He squatted by the body and flicked the page to look at the last entry.
I was the person who was meant to protect her from everything bad in the world. It was my only goal since the day I met her. Instead, I forced her to live through her worst nightmare and her experience her biggest fear, death, with the thought that I mean her harm and do not love her. I ache harder than ever to be along side her and I will achieve that no matter the cost.
I’m on my way, dearest.

HeliosR - Wondrous Tea Party On A Bitter Afternoon - Chapter 3
Translation of chapter 3 of the event ‘Wondrous Tea Party On A Bitter Afternoon’ from ‘Helios Rising Heroes’.
Roy: First I wanna thank you for helping out that time
Roy: Thanks to you heroes it got wrapped up without things taking a turn for the worse… The turf wars have calmed down too.
Roy: On the other hand, our store hasn’t been doing too good on the business side…
Gast: Eh…
Roy: Our reputation hasn’t been that good to begin with since this is a place where delinquents hang out, but then Eclipse going on a rampage only ended up in more rumors being spread about how it’s dangerous here.
Roy: Even the few customers we had don’t show up anymore
Gast: No way….
Roy: Though after that whole mess, Helios increased their patrols ‘round these parts, making it way safer than before.
Roy: Even Akira dropped by and said to leave it up to him and the others….
Gast: Right…. South’s first in the sector ranking too, so shouldn’t business be boomin’?
Roy: That’s what we believed. Dad’s doing his best and saying he won’t give up despite everything, but it still ain’t too hot…
Roy: Valentine’s also around the corner, we’ve been discussing that we should hold some kinda event for it. Though we ain’t got the money to hire more staff, which means we can’t do anything on a big scale either…
Gast: …….
-
Ren: (....The scent of books. It's peaceful as ever….)
Bookstore manager: Welcome…. Oh, if it isn’t Ren
Ren: Hello…
Bookstore manager: Haven’t seen your face around here lately, how come?
Ren: I’ve been, busy….
Bookstore manager: Fufu, giving it your all for your hero work, eh.
Bookstore manager: I’ve been waiting for you to drop by again. Got the thing you’ve always wanted that came in.
Ren: ….! I see. Your selection of books is always of great quality, I’m grateful…
Bookstore manager: Fufufu, but seeing this is what you yearned for, must make you… quite the bookworm.
Ren: That’s nothing new. Anyway, show it already…
Bookstore manager: Behold….!
Bookstore manager: From all ages and places, masterpieces from every great name in literature gathered together….
Bookstore manager: “The select unabridged compilation of the world’s greatest writers”....
Bookstore manager: All 50 volumes….!
Ren: Amazing…. I was under the impression it would be difficult to obtain the whole collection since it was sold a long time ago…
Bookstore manager: You’ve been a regular since the time your father was around. Going this far is the least I could do.
Bookstore manager: Although they’re pocket sized, it’s still quite heavy. Can you take it all back home in one go?
Ren: It’s not a problem at all. I’m looking forward to reading it.
Bookstore manager: I see. Fufu, you’re truly a bookworm on par with your father.
Ren: ….Yeah
Ren: Thanks, sir. This store is a good one that always has interesting books to offer. My dad liked it too…
Bookstore manager: I’m delighted to hear that. …….To be honest, we might have to close up shop soon.
Ren: Eh…?
Bookstore manager: As you can see for yourself, there aren’t many customers around here anymore.
Ren: ……Why…..
Bookstore manager: Because…
-
Ren: …Haah
Ren: (To think that’s how things turned out…)
Ren: (The owner did say that he’s trying out different things to attract customers again, but…)
Ren: (If these financial difficulties don’t improve any time soon, will that bookstore really go away…?)

Hehehehe hohohoho..seidou alphabet?
He’s always looking submissive and breedable 😌
A = Aftercare (what they’re like after sex): when it’s over, he’s gonna be needing aftercare. He’s absolutely exhausted, he could use a little clean up and words of reassurance now that he’s no longer horny and probably embarrassed by how desperate he was to be fucked. A quick nap, being held by his partner and getting some ibuprofen is a must
B = Body part (their favorite body part of theirs and also their partner’s): on himself he likes his hands, and on his partner he likes tits. Male or female, if they have tiddy, he wants to drown in it
C = Cum (anything to do with cum, basically): he knows it’s kind of gross, be he likes to swallow. When he gives head he wants his partner to finish deep in his throat
D = Dirty secret (pretty self explanatory, a dirty secret of theirs): he’s masturbated to the thought of Houji before and felt really awkward working with him the next day
E = Experience (how experienced are they? do they know what they’re doing?): he’s not very experienced. He had a high school girlfriend who he lost his virginity to and a drunk one night stand or two, but it was always his partners taking the lead and he’s still awkward about making advances let alone doing anything sexual without blushing like a virgin
F = Favorite position (this goes without saying): any position where he’s bent over something. Being pinned between a surface and his partner’s body and unable to escape is the best feeling to him
G = Goofy (are they more serious in the moment? are they humorous? etc.): he doesn’t really joke during it, the most he’ll do are little jabs when he’s hoping to provoke his partner into a bit more roughness
H = Heat (what are heats like for them? How do they handle it?): his heats suck. He’s one of those ghouls who, no matter how many times he’s fucked, can’t seem to make the desperation go away. Even with two partners he outlasts them, ready to again seconds after finishing. With how bad it is, he just lets his partners secure him to the bed and do whatever they can for him, he’s okay with them having control when he’s like that since he can’t think rationally when that overheated and desperate
I = Intimacy (how are they during the moment? the romantic aspect): he’s very focused on his partners during it, paying just as close attention to what they’re saying as what they’re doing to him. It’s romantic in the way being desperate for any word or sensation from someone can be
J = Jack off (masturbation headcanon): he does it pretty often. He’s a healthy young man who doesn’t have much time after work for sex, of course he’s going to relieve himself. He usually does it in that same face down position he likes to get fucked in, biting the sheets to stay quiet. He hates that it’s usually insults from akira or praise from Amon that comes to mind while his hand is wrapped around his cock, but it does the job.
K = Kink (one or more of their kinks): degradation and praise, being dominated, anything that makes him feel like he’s under the control of someone he desperately wants to please. Anything done to him is heavenly if it’s to please his master
L = Location (favorite places to do the do): I think it comes as no surprise that he’d love to fuck in the office. It’s always been a fantasy of his to get pulled into a storage closet during work hours and fucked against the wall, struggling to stay quiet
M = Motivation (what turns them on, gets them going): praise and degradation. I don’t care that I’ve already said it this boy wants to get noticed and told exactly what is thought of him. If he’s good, he deserves a reward doesn’t he? If he’s bad, there’s gotta be something he can do to make up for it. Either way, any compliment or insult he gets from an attractive superior has him uncomfortably crossing his legs
N = No (something they wouldn’t do, turn offs): being ignored/silence. He loves to feel objectified and used, but being completely disregarded as often painful things are done to his body makes him panic when it reminds him too much of being really objectified by kanou. As you can see, there is a dilemma here. He’s found out that he can handle being used as a toy so long as his partner talks to him. As long as he’s reminded that he’s recognized as a person who can give and revoke consent at any time, he can handle any rough treatment
O = Oral (preference in giving or receiving, skill, etc.): giving, and holy hell can he give. That boy sucks dick like he’s dying and the only cure is semen and eats pussy like it’s a four course meal. He loves the feeling of serving them, like it’s a job to prove just how much pleasure he can give and just how much discomfort he can disregard. Either ask him politely or put a spider gag in his mouth and fuck his throat, either way he’d gladly get on his knees
P = Pace (are they fast and rough? slow and sensual? etc.): As fast and rough as possible, he wants his partners to make him their bitch. He wants his legs to shake tomorrow
Q = Quickie (their opinions on quickies, how often, etc.): loves them. Any time, any place, he’s ready to go. He can’t go as rough with these since they don’t have the time for the aftercare he needs afterwards though, but a gentle fuck in back room somewhere is it’s own type of exhilarating
R = Risk (are they game to experiment? do they take risks? etc.): a big part of it for him is being forced out of his comfort zone. Having a vibe in him in public, getting choked, taking a toy inside him he’s pretty sure is too big, it’s all better with the very real embarrassment and nerves. It really could hurt, but he’s been given an order, and he wants to be a good boy doesn’t he?
S = Stamina (how many rounds can they go for? how long do they last?): he can go awhile, it’s not that he has a short refractory period, only that he has no problem being fucked long after he’s already cum
T = Toys (do they own toys? do they use them? on a partner or themselves?): he’s never bought any of his own, but is down for anything his partner wants to use on him
U = Unfair (how much they like to tease): he doesn’t tease, but loves to be teased. Edge him and deny him over and over until he’s a desperate mess
V = Volume (how loud they are, what sounds they make, etc.): he always starts with little grunts and groans, the demand for his partner to stop teasing and just get onto it, but little by little his submissive nature takes over, and those moans and cries flow freely by the end
W = Wild card (a random headcanon for the character): he is a very horny drunk. When enough drinks deep, he has no problem grabbing his partner by the collar and telling them exactly how he wants them to make a mess out of him in filthy detail. Doesn’t matter if they’re home or in the middle of a bar, he’ll be crawling into their lap and grinding on their leg. He’s always humiliated the next day, but in the moment he can’t think about anything but getting railed
X = X-ray (let’s see what’s going on under those clothes): about 6-6.5 inches
Y = Yearning (how high is their sex drive?): so horny all the time holy fuck This man is down horrendously 24/7
Z = Zzz (how quickly they fall asleep afterwards): usually pretty fast, once his partner pulls out of him and gives him those gentle touches and words of praise that marks the beginning of aftercare, he’s rarely awake for more than three minutes. Half the time he’s only asleep for a couple minutes, but he needs that to recover and ease himself out of that submissive state

thinking about if Akechi had a palace (post-game ideas as always)
To preface this, a palace like this manifesting for Akechi would probably cause him to be severely depressed and self-deprecating in reality. He rationalizes it to himself as a self-punishment since the courts failed to hold him accountable for his actions.
Of course, when Akira find’s out Akechi’s alive and tracks him down, he’d see how out-of-character he’s being and the lack of emotion in Akechi’s eyes and starts to worry that something is very very wrong. Upon finding out he has a palace, Akira would reluctantly determine that he needs to change Akechi’s heart before he looses him a third time.
--
On a surface level the palace is bright and colorful, like a weekend morning cartoon. Akechi’s shadow is him as a child, maybe 8 years old, dressed up in a featherman t-shirt with a blanket wrapped around him like a cape. He greets the thieves enthusiastically, calling them cool heroes and saying he’s a hero too.
As the Phantom Thieves explores the palace though, they start finding rooms tucked away in corners; rooms that have a dark atmosphere to them and feel more like something out of a child’s nightmare rather than their hero fantasy.
The first room they find, a woman is telling a young Akechi to go play outside or go to the bathhouse as she leads a man into the house, saying she “has to work.”
The second room, the same woman is drunk. She’s ranting about how “that man”, how “Shido”, ruined her life. She doesn’t know Akechi is watching until she turns around, and she immediately changes her demeanor, pulling the boy into her arms and saying “At least you love me, right sweetie?”
The third room, Joker hesitates to go in, causing the thieves to all share a worried look. When they do go in, none of them can look at the scene for too long. Akechi’s mother is unmoving in a tub full of red tinged water, and they can hear the sound of a young Akechi sobbing, saying things like “Please wake up”, “Please don’t leave me alone”, “Did I do something wrong?”, “I’m sorry”, “Was I not enough?”. They don’t loiter in the room, and their discussion about what they just saw is brief.
The next few rooms involve people speaking ill of his mother, kids at school bullying him, teachers calling him a problem child, and foster parents neglecting/abusing him.
By this point in the palace, the darkness has started creeping into the hallways, no longer staying to just the tucked away rooms.
The group also deduces that all the rooms must relate to all the things Akechi has gone through in his life that traumatized him on some level, and that they should expect things to get even more unsavory moving forward.
This is when they find the Shido room. It makes all of them uncomfortable as they listen to the false praise Shido threw Akechi’s way.
The next room they find, Futaba almost chokes. Wakaba is there, going on and on about “how helpful you’ve been to my research!”, “You’ve been such a big help, my little guinea pig!”. Her attitude changes suddenly though, and she looks at them with a solemn expression, her eyes turning a golden yellow, before saying “Just make sure Shido pays for it.” Futaba storms out of the room before they have a chance to talk about what that could have been about.
There’s a room covering the psychotic breakdowns and mental shutdowns, but not in a way any of them expected. There are small memorials to each one of shutdown victims. Those like Wakaba and and Ohya’s old partner have notes that say “I’m sorry.” and there are flowers by their pictures as well. Those like the Shujin principle and SIU director on the other hand do not have flowers, and their notes simply say “You deserved it.” Okumura’s however is the odd one out; the note there reading “I’m sorry, Haru.”
At this point, Shadow Akechi shows up again, looking scared. This is where entire palace seems to be swallowed by the dark atmosphere, the bright cheery cartoon atmosphere disappearing from sight. Akechi’s shadow tells them they shouldn’t continue, that “He might hurt you... And I can’t stop him...” He leaves without telling them who he’s talking about, and they all feel a weight in their stomachs as they press onward.
The next room is deathly quiet, the only thing there being a cognition of Akira laying face down on the interrogation room table, blood pooling around his head. There’s a note there too, and it reads “I thought I wanted this. I was wrong.”
They hear the next room before they see it, and they all know what’s waiting for them inside. There’s no mistaking the sound of a klaxon alarm.
The room plays out the memory exactly. The hopeful speech of the phantom thieves as they tried to convince Akechi they weren’t the enemies and that he could have a second chance, the cognition of him showing up, the wall between them erecting, the... the gunshot...
The next room houses Maruki; him trying to convince Akechi not to “throw his life away”. The other’s discuss that maybe fighting knowing he was to die if he succeeded had actually been hard for Akechi after all; but Joker shakes his head, explaining Akechi had made it clear that a reality controlled by someone else didn’t sit well with him and that he didn’t like the idea of being manipulated and controlled by another person again. He then hesitantly adds on that he’d had a feeling Akechi was actually afraid of Maruki’s powers, but of course never admitted to it.
They all expect that to be the end of the tucked away rooms, only they find yet one more, which goes over the court rulings regarding Akechi’s involvement with Shido. They ruled him mentally and emotionally unstable in his decisions due to Shido’s emotional manipulation as well as his “rough” upbringing. Him being a minor and his crimes being unable to be proven (because metaverse) are brought up as well. In the end, he’s only sentenced to time in rehab and some therapy. Overall, he’s treated like a victim rather than a perpetrator, and it’s made obvious that Akechi wasn’t happy about that.
They finally reach what appears to be the end of the palace, and it’s then that they see who the young Shadow Akechi must of been talking about. It’s... Akechi, but as he is now, and dressed like some prince of the underworld. He’s yelling at the shadows to hurry up and find them. Once the shadows leave, he starts ranting to himself; but his emotions are all over the place. One second he’s livid, the next he’s laughing like a mad man, the next he’s curling in on himself with a choked sob. It goes on with no indication of stopping.
The group sneaks past and finally finds... another room?
It’s Leblanc and a cognition of Akira is standing in the middle of the room, his expression distressed. He looks up and says “You knew?” and there’s a beat of silence where all the thieves look to the real Joker standing beside them. Akechi’s disembodied voice rings out something about Akira folding over some “trivial threat on his life”, and it takes all of Joker’s strength to bite his tongue as the cognition of him shouts “This isn’t trivial!”
The cognition of Akira fades to nothing, and left where he was standing is the shimmering ball of light representing the treasure.
-
At some point after finding the second Shadow Akechi but before sending the calling card, the PT’s discuss and determine that the existence of two Shadow’s is likely due to the fact Akechi had two personas. Even if Robin Hood had only been used in attempt to deceive the phantom thieves, he must have been born from a part of Akechi’s heart that still yearned for those childhood dreams of being a hero. Loki, however, is who he became after everything he’d been through. They are both parts of him, and they’ll likely need to make the two reconcile in order to change Akechi’s heart.
Also the treasure winds up manifesting as the glove; and Akira totally hands Akechi the calling card personally, but only after a long talk that assures him that Akechi wants Akira to help him.
Akechi is still slightly surprised and miffed that he has a palace and Akira didn’t tell him though.
#here have angst#shuake#akeshu#I do think Loki is his first/actual persona but Robin still came from his heart as well#also yeah I don't see him feeling guilty for everything hence the 'you deserved it' notes#but he has developed guilt over the people he thinks didn't deserve it#he does think Okumura deserved it but he also thinks it should have been Haru's decision#and knowing that he robbed her of that decision is where the guilt lies#doesnt mean theyre just gonna forgive him or that they should though#guilt isnt enough to earn you a redemption - you have to work for it#of course if Akechi does want to work for it Akira is more than willing to help#Akechi Goro#p5#persona 5#Things Ai Made

HELLISH
PROLOGUE
summary: I'm not here, this isn't happening, I'm not here, I'm not here...
warnings: death, cursing, torture, manipulation, mental disorder
word count: 1.2k
A/N: so, this is going to be me, dumping several mental illnesses and heavy, triggering subjects because this story is not going to be that nice for a few chapters even tho it's a marvel fanfic. English is not my first language, let me know when somethings wrong also i used google translate so imagine the accuracy of the dialogue in Russian and that one sentence in Thai. also, this is an au where iw and endgame happened, but no one died no everything’s canon except that part
"PONIMAYESH’, domashniy pitomets?"
No, not really. She couldn't understand much anymore, sometimes not even her name, only the far whispers that echoed within her scattered thoughts. Some nights they spoke of a family, other days, longer days, they could only present her the experiments, her Doctor's face above her.
Always, above her.
Counting was the only thing that remained the same over the years. And when her mind was close to failing due to another gun shot, she could see the big man smiling at her as he helped her learn numbers so she could play hide and seek with her sisters.
Slow learner, he said. A slow, but stubborn, learner.
What was his name again? Was he important to her?
Akira wouldn't know, not for some time, not until her mind wanted her to.
Suppressing. She was suppressing, as the Doctor said. A mechanism to cope, to stay safe from the scary things that occured many years ago.
But was it true? Were they really that bad, with those blurred faces, wide smiles and brownies?
Brownies, what were those, again?
Why wasn't she suppressing the things the Doctor did to her?
Blinking, Akira tried to understand why was there blood in her eyes. Was it the cut above her brow? No, that healed already. Then what was it?
What was i—
The Doctor's helper. She killed him, yes. Why, exactly, did she—
He was rambling about someone. Red hair, red mist, kind eyes.
Who? Why was Akira bothered?
A whim. She acted on a whim, and was about to be scolded again.
No chains, not strapped on a table. Guards all around the Big White Room, guns raised at her.
Yes. Bullet holes. Bullete poking out of her arms and stomach as her body healed and popped them out to make the flesh new, whole.
"Mne nuzhno napomnit' tebe, chto sluchilos' s Natashey?"
Who?
Akira looked up at him, eyesight not so sharp since the last time he stabbed them both, and the added blood on her face, that only seemed to slip further into her skin, in her eyes, her mouth.
Red. So much red—
Like Tasha's hair, even though she dyed it too much so it could remain blue. But the roots were stubborn, always growing and peeking at Akira as she passed by every day.
Tasha? Who was that?
Was she part of the blurred faces, the bad time before the worse time came?
She felt right, in a sense Akira's mind couldn't comprehend. Numbers were safe, never changing, never getting lost in the maze that made and formed her thoughts, her subconscious.
Tasha. Tasha. Tasha.
Why did it matter, finding out? Nothing existed for her beyond those doors, past this building. No one cared, no one looked for her.
Those initials meant nothing. Only permanent markings on her extraordinary body, with it's own mind, it's own mechanism to heal, to preserve, to keep her there for the Doctor's hands and joyful play.
Nothing, they were nothing. Not worth thinking about, not even when they peeled away the skin, initials and all, only for them to turn back once her body worked its wonders.
She hated it. She despised the way she couldn't stay dead, always forced to turn back and start over.
Universe and fate be dammed. Akira did not need soulmates, and they did not care to look for her, help her—
Home. This was home.
"Come on!"
Akira huffed, hands on her bent knees. She was slow in many aspects, especially sports, and her physical condition was so poor, it worried Papa, even when Mama said their girl was strong, only needed time.
She hissed, feeling the sting once she touched the scrapped skin of her knee with her hand when she smoothed her dress.
Pain. She felt pain, so this must be a memory, a distant whisper preserved by her mind. Still, Akira followed the young blonde and redhead out of the house, green everywhere around.
Was that what the sun looked like, blinding and yet warm on her skin as she ran to form the small circle, the three of them all laughter and full bellies from Mama's lunch?
"Together," the blonde almost sang, in a tune only known for her, but Akira knew it. Thought she knew it, at least.
But the redhead—
Tasha. That was Natasha, her sister.
And the other one was Yelena. Her younger sister.
They were together, as they should. But fate was cruel, and promised other people, halfs to make her whole—
No. She did not need her soulmates. Her body yearned for her sisters, for her other halfs, for them to be close so she could rest—
No. There was no rest for her at the end of the day, nothing to compensate her loss, her constant state of grief for her family, for herself.
Because he was looking down at her, like he always did since they dragged her small, frail body into his lab and threw her in his greedy hands, her cage to be for long years.
"Dayet, Upyr’."
What? What for? Did he not take enough from her?
No. Wrong, wrong, wrong—
He couldn't break trough, not even when her mind was nothing but mud and her thoughts were water slipping trough her fingers before she could even grasp onto them.
Stubborn. Papa always called her stubborn.
She looked up, and sneered, bared teeth, too sharp to even be normal, she lost the memory of him sharpening them before they started the whole experiment, before she could heal.
When there was pain, and she could feel it.
But she felt nothing now, nothing beyond that crippling agony that worn out her body, ached her bones and lulled her to sleep and other horrors.
Her Doctor frowned, bending his knees to rest his hands on his thighs, getting closer to her, as one would to talk down a child. And Akira did not flinch, she never did, and it always annoyed him.
"Chto eto, hm? Ty chto-to pomnish’?"
Yes.
Akira stood up, slowly, her limbs tired and days old, barely used. She couldn't move further up, so she stayed crouching, her hands flat on the floor in between them.
She could barely take notice of the fallen hair over her face as she snapped her teeth at her Doctor.
"Net."
He blinked, then smiled, shaking his head in amusement at the little display of his pet. Funny, she remained funny.
“C̄hạn ca ḳh̀ā khuṇ.”
Fedorov scowled, the words nothing sort of familiar. "What did you say, pet?"
She smirked, then smiled, and her lips moved and stretched until she opened her mouth.
And laughed.
Akira laughed, almost wheezing and coughing due to the unused vocal chords. She fell back, not bothering to catch herself as she laid on her back, arms spread as she stared at her Doctor.
And she kept saying those words, again, and again, and again, and againagainagainagain—
Fedorov stood up, hitting her head, her mouth, with his booth, but all the ghoul did was spit blood and teeth before she resumed her laughing fit, those words like nails on chalkboard.
Again and again and againagainagain
"Strelyat’! Zastavit' yeye zatknut'sya!"
The guards around the room showed no hesitation to carry out the order. They perforated her body, too many holes, too little time, and some hit home in her head, but Akira died smiling this time.
***
Dayet, upyr’ - Yield, ghoul
“Mne nuzhno napomnit' tebe, chto sluchilos' s natashey” - “Do I need to remind you what happened to Natasha?”
"Chto eto, hm? Ty chto-to pomnish’?" - “What’s this? You remembered something?”
“C̄hạn ca ḳh̀ā khuṇ.” - I’ll kill you.”
“Strelyat’! Zastavit' yeye zatknut'sya!” - “Shoot! Make her shut up!”
