Phantom Thief Leader Akechi au rambling beneath the cut

In the velvet room, Akira gets told he can't trust the people around him, especially those with access to the metaverse. He is also told there are people trying to avoid the chaos and entropy of fate and that will drive the world to ruin quicker than it's supposed to happen naturally. The twins aren't sure how to take any of this. To them it doesn't seem right, but who are they to argue?

Akira figures out who the phantom thieves are pretty quickly (or at least, initially that Ryuji is one then goes from there through a little bit of ★being the quiet guy in the background no one notices★) and just kinda ends up staring at them sometimes like "I know what you are."

When Akira and Akechi meet in the TV station, Akira still stands up for the phantom thieves, he wants to believe they're doing something good, but that they should be careful with their actions. Akechi thinks it's interesting that "Hey this random boy who is not a phantom thief is actually standing up to *me* when most others don't trust the phantom thieves".

Akira, when interacting with the thieves really just ends up being This Cryptic Guy who knows a bit too much but we can't say why at all

He makes regular claims that maybe people need to handle their own problems and that this will just make people rely on the thieves and not fix things themselves (like Sumi's opinion in that one hangout). but also just? Random cryptic comments?

This is because he keeps getting told in the velvet room Phantom Thieves Bad. Do Not Let Them Continue On Their Path. Aka he has become a puppet to work against them without realizing it

The twins sure know something is up though, somehow Akechi while asleep accidentally stumbles his way into interacting with them and gets chosen as their backup plan or something

I've scrapped Akira having a secret persona and outfit bc he. Doesn't really have much to hide for any reason. For the most part he isn't really actively hiding as big of an identity as Akechi was. He does hide the fact that he is a wildcard when being brought on the team though, acting like he only has Arsene

Towards the end of the Sae's palace 'Igor' reveals a lot to Akira and that the Thieves are basically opposing god and will only bring destruction, Akira Does Not Want This so he asks if he can stop them if they'll be left alone and if ruin will be put off into the future. He gets told essentially yeah sure, and so when the palace is collapsing (they do actually steal the treasure) he makes a bolt for it and leaves the group, making it seem like he got caught in the crumbling palace. He knows their next target will be Shido (thanks to Akechi deciding that with the group before having to take a detour with Sae) and plans to stop them there :)

Before I go to sleep let me tell you about my delulu thoughts cus if I don't then I wouldn't be able to sleep 👁️👁️

Nah but the first photo got me thinking and pls ignore jjun for a bit for the sake of the delulu thoughts sO LIKE- imagine soob's leaning down to kiss you and you have your hands on his hair, tugging on them the more he's going down until his lips are brushing your collarbones. He has his hands on your waist to pull you closer to him. Imagine the breathy moans that will escape his lips as you tug on his hair harder, the way you'll feel him smirk against your skin, teasing you with feather light kisses across your neck and to your jaw. GOD I CANT RN

And bro imagine that he has you pinned on the wall so you can't escape and he's basically caging you with his body bYEE IDK BUT I FIND THE PHOTO SO HOT AND MY SIZE KINK IS SHOWING I APOLOGIZE HXBSHS HIS BACKKKK

If you want to talk about this feel free to send an ask because I'm all for it tbh HAHBSJA anyway-

The vlog is so calming and both soob and his friend are so soft-spoken that I'll play the vlog in the background every time I'm going to do something just for the background noise
