i wrote some (a)synchronicity :^)

this does feature a conversation about icha icha, because i forgot jiraiya wrote his first book (the non icha icha one that's basically minato RPF, from which naruto got his name) right around kushina's pregnancy (or at least finished it and gave it to minakushi while she was pregnant), and im too lazy to change any of the dialogue. so um. i guess it's a mild au........?

also i did a coin flip on naming minato's teammate kokoha or kotone. kotone won but i did realize kokoha can be written with the kanji for leaf, which seems..... like something ninja would inflict on their children...... HMM

*****

“I– I like girls!”

Minato stared back at Kushina. This was… this was not how he expected asking her out to go. He thought they’d basically already confirmed their mutual affections.

Kushina’s face was as red as her hair, even as she determinedly and earnestly kept eye contact with him.

“S-sorry!” she said. “I know… I know I’ve been sort of leading you on. I did think I liked you, you know. But, um, I’ve been trying to imagine actually dating you for the past few months, and…”

Minato was the one to drop his gaze, his cheeks going hot as he stared down at his sandals.

“Anyway, I realized I don’t like you like that, you know,” Kushina continued. Kushina was never one to back out of awkward situations. That was one of the things he liked about her. “Um, I still like you though. As a friend. Like, I friend-like you a lot, you know.”

“Oh,” Minato mumbled at the ground. “I’m glad.”

“But you’re not…” Kushina trailed off, and Minato mustered up the courage to look at her face again. She was chewing on her bottom lip. “You’re just not a pretty girl, you know?”

“Yeah,” Minato said. “I know.”

They talked. They agreed to stay friends, and Kushina offered to treat him to ramen. They walked to Ichiraku together and joked about talking about pretty girls together in the future. Kushina flicked bean sprouts at him like she usually did and then snatched the naruto fish cake right out of his bowl without asking, just like she always did.

Minato went home and laid face down on his futon and contemplated his life.

He’d never been turned down before. He’d never been in love with anyone besides Kushina, but he’d spent most of his teenaged years on the frontlines, and he’d fooled around. He’d never not smiled that smile at someone, man or woman, and had them not follow him back to his tent.

Why did his first rejection have to be the only one he’d ever really, truly liked…?

And he had a whole month of leave time ahead of him, here in the village, now with nothing to distract him. With the long leave, he’d thought it’d be a good time to finally formally ask Kushina out. They’d both sort of mutually danced around the subject for years, because the war meant they barely ever got to see each other in person, which would have made a romantic relationship hard. But Hiraishin now meant Minato could come home more often, and they'd both turned nineteen that year. It seemed like a good time to move into a more serious stage of their relationship, and Kushina had indicated strong romantic interest the last time he’d been in the village.

And now… well, he wasn’t sure what he was going to do, long term or short. He did still want to be friends with Kushina, but his heart felt delicate. He didn’t want to see her again so soon.

He rolled onto his back and stared at the ceiling. He could… read. He didn’t really want to bother Kushina for material from her personal library of Uzumaki scrolls (which was where anything new for him would be), but he could always ask to reread Tobirama’s various fuinjutsu and ninjutsu scrolls. Or… Jiraiya’s new erotica adventure novel sounded kind of fun.

What is Sensei up to? Minato wondered. He hadn’t seen him in a couple months.

Then, on a whim, he teleported to him.

“Fuck,” Jiraiya swore, dropping his field telescope. “Kid, this better be an emergency.”

Minato glanced around his surroundings. No enemies. No ninja in general. There was no one else around, although Minato could hear civilian voices on the other side of the wooden fence Jiraiya had been peering through. The air was damp and smelled slightly sulfuric. A hot spring, but not in Hot Water Country.

“Are you peeping again?” Minato asked, squinting disapprovingly at Jiraiya.

“It’s research,” Jiraiya insisted. He toed his telescope and then flipped it into the air with a quick move of his foot.

Minato snatched it before he could.

“There’s other ways to do research,” Minato chided.

Jiraiya crossed his arms. “How do you know? Have you even read my book?”

“Er…” Minato hesitated. It was on his to-do list, okay? “Anyway, have you heard from Dekai or Kotone lately?”

Any attempt to pry Jiraiya from his vices usually ended with him trying harder, but it wasn’t difficult to distract him. They went for beers at a dimly lit local bar. Dekai and Kotone, Minato’s old genin teammates under Jiraiya who were now also in a cycle of unending war-related missions, were doing fine as far as Jiraiya knew. Minato told his sad story of finally asking Kushina out.

“Likes girls, you say…?” Jiraiya said contemplatively. He shifted, producing a small notebook from his haori.

“Please don’t take notes on my heartbreak for your porn novel,” Minato complained.

Jiraiya sighed and the notebook disappeared. Minato decided not to mention that he’d known Kushina had liked girls for years and had even had a few girlfriends; they’d just both thought she also liked men.

In particular, she’d liked Minato.

“This sort of thing happens,” Jiraiya said sagely. “You said you were going to try to be friends? That’s good.”

“I don’t know when I’ll be able to look at her without wanting to cry,” Minato admitted.

“The Yellow Flash? Afraid of a girl?” Jiraiya mocked, waggling his eyebrows. Minato kicked him under the table half-heartedly. “Fear not, my apprentice. Why, even your old sensei has had his heart broken by a beautiful kunoichi…”

Tsunade had turned Jiraiya down five or six times during their overly dramatic youths. Minato did not think this was a very comparable situation, as he was pretty sure Tsunade had never even given a hint of returning Jiraiya’s affections. But his Sensei was a good storyteller, and it did make Minato feel better to know that two ninja could be friends even through war and heartbreak.

It would hurt, but it wouldn’t be the end of the world.

“You’ll find someone else,” Jiraiya finally concluded. “When have you ever not been a charmer?”

Minato stared down at his now empty glass. He didn’t know how to articulate to Jiraiya how different being in love versus just thinking someone was attractive felt. Kushina had been… well, she’d really been one in a million. Minato had never found anyone who could really challenge him, physically or mentally, the way she could. He was afraid he never would.

“If you want a distraction,” Jiraiya said, leaning across the sticky table conspiratorially, a glint in his eye.

Minato perked up. “Yes?”

“There’s an interesting rumor I’m chasing,” Jiraiya said, voice dropping to a dramatic whisper. “There’s supposedly a fuinjutsu master running around, and no one has any idea who they’re working for or why.”

Minato frowned slightly. “A fuinjutsu master?”

Jiraiya leaned back, waving dismissively as he took another gulp of beer.

“They’re just rumors,” he said. “Probably it’s just someone with a couple janky seals, and people are impressed because most of the witnesses are civilian or low-ranking shinobi. I’ll know if I actually find a working seal.”

The notebook reappeared, and Jiraiya passed over a sketch of the pieces of a seal he’d found carved into a tree.

“The bark was hacked away in a rush,” Jiraiya said. “Sloppily done. Not really a ninja’s knifework. Probably civilians covering for them.”

A small piece of the seal had been left behind, which Jiraiya had copied. Minato traced the radical with his fingers.

“A barrier?” he guessed, and Jiraiya nodded. “Carved into the tree?”

Jiraiya shrugged. “I told you: janky. But it really impressed the locals.”

“I’d bet,” Minato murmured in agreement.

Jiraiya’s lips turned up in a wry smile.

“Whatever you’re betting, they were even more impressed,” Jiraiya said. “They claim it went up around someone from the Demolitions Corps, and then completely contained his explosion. Guy blew himself up.”

Minato just raised his eyebrows. Jiraiya wiggled his fingers at him.

“Mastery,” he said, clearly not believing the story. “There was evidence of an explosion, but…”

Jiraiya took another sip of beer, unimpressed. Anyone who could make a barrier would also be able to make an exploding tag or two. It was basic stuff.

“This isn’t a standard barrier, though,” Minato said. “They must have known what they were doing.”

“Eh,” Jiraiya replied. “Non-masters make modified seals all the time, by copying someone better, or by luck, and that’s only a little piece of it. I’ll make my call when I find a whole one.”

“I guess,” Minato said, and passed the notebook back. “So, when you said you had a distraction for me…?”

Jiraiya waggled his finger at him.

“Go home and read my amazing new novel first,” he said. “Sleep in. Eat well. Fuck someone pretty who’s not Kushina. You need a break from the battlefield, or you won’t stay sharp. Trust an old timer like Sensei.”

Minato pouted. Jiraiya held up his hand, spreading his fingers.

“Five days, minimum,” he said. “More, if you need to reread my book ten times. Then you can come bother me about this mystery fuinjutsu user.”

“Fine,” Minato agreed. Then he grinned. “But I’m not holding back in my review if your book is bad.”

Jiraiya’s returning grin showed off all his teeth. “Trust me, kid. You’re going to love it.”

Unfortunately, about this part of their conversation, Jiraiya was right. Minato would love his cheesy book. Jiraiya was also right that Minato would slowly get over his heartbreak.

He was phenomenally wrong about the mystery fuinjutsu user.

Persona 3 Characters Ranked By How Good of Hugs They Give

kotone/hamuko/minako. best hugger in sees. she's a hashtag empath, so she always knows when you need a hug, too. will tug your head down to rest on her shoulder and start rubbing your back and everything. the technique? perfect. 10/10 no notes.

shinjiro. he's a lot less likely to hug anyone but aki, but when he does, it's big ol bear hug and he's not letting go until they feel better, period. he feels slightly awkward about it, but once he's holding on, he's committed. he's got that weighted blanket swag. (he doesn't smell the best though which holds him back from first place)

ryoji. hug will be a bit awkward at first but then he'll find his stride and suddenly he's a good hugger for all the same reasons as kotone. he had to get it from somewhere, after all. loses some points because he can be a little overly familiar, so he might employ back-rubbing in situations where it's unneeded.

fuuka. she's a little shy and less likely to hug, but if she does, she'll do it with all her heart!! a very gentle hugger who will try to console you as you're hugging. she might also start crying if things get emotional tbh but she won't get your shirt too wet. she also isn't likely to let go until you're smiling again.

aigis. she may be made of metal but i think we know from the ending of the game that she will cradle her loved ones so gently and with all the love and protection in her whole body <3 probably hugs a little tentatively because she doesn't want to crush the recipient of her hug. she's surprisingly warm, not cold, and her arms are less rigid than you would think.

i HAD to put koromaru this low because he technically can't hug you. but you can hug HIM and he is soft and warm and loves you so much.

yukari. she has good hugging technique, like fuuka's, but she's much more hesitant to actually hug and is more likely to pull away prematurely because she suddenly gets bashful. if someone else hugs her, she might even freeze up rather than hugging back, even if she wants to. her mind is racing with other thoughts as they hug, which makes her hug a little awkward and distracted.

theodore. gives an excellent gentle hug but he has no idea what to do next. he'll just stand there totally still indefinitely, and you have to kick him to get him to let you go.

elizabeth. hugs very enthusiastically but she will be saying some weird eccentric shit into your ear while you're trying to enjoy the hug. you could be on the verge of tears and she'd be like "oh my, is this what you humans call a 'bear hug'? should i summon a bear persona? ohohoho."

akihiko. he will hug with reckless abandon, but he is very awkward about it and hugs way too tight. like, a firm hug is nice and all, but akihiko please i cant breathe you'rE CRUSHING ME AKIHIKO--COUGH COUGH HACK--

minato/makoto. very stiff and wooden while he hugs you, so the hugging technique itself is pretty poor, but he has good awareness of when a hug is and isn't necessary and knows exactly when to squeeze a little and pull back. a quiet, slightly awkward hug.

ken. would be higher up on this list if he could just accept that he is Small but whenever he hugs someone he has to attempt to hug them in a Big Boy way which means he'll be trying to pull you down so he can hug you from "above", like with your head on his shoulder, and your back is gonna hurt like hell afterwards because he is just way too short.

junpei. gets self conscious and jerks away in the middle of a hug, just like yukari, but his technique is also awkward and wooden like minato, and if he's emotional enough to hug without feeling awkward then he'll be squeezing too tight like akihiko. worst of all worlds.

mitsuru. oh god. you're hugging her. why are you hugging her. what does she do with her arms. where should her face be. oh my god you're still holding on. are you saying something? she is not listening. she is too busy standing completely still like you're a t-rex whose vision is based on movement and if she just stays perfectly still you'll forget she's there and wander off.

Minato and Kotone Lore 👁️👁️

Both born on January 8th, 1992

Parents names were Mei and Kaito Arisato

Moved from relative to relative after their parent’s deaths, but stuck with their Grandma in Yasoinaba when they moved with her in 2005

Mei was a dancer, Kaito was a music producer, so naturally they both ended up loving music

Were given their MP3’s the day that the accident happened

Only Minato went to Iwatodai, Kotone wasn’t interested and told him to go himself. It took a LOT of convincing but he left. Ko instead stayed with their grandma and has been studying to go into nursing school so she can be a care assistant for the elderly cus of it!! Kotone does visit Iwatodai occasionally and stays at the dorm (and since she is a Persona user, they let her come with to Tarty expeditions.

Since Minato came back to Iwatodai, he has not stepped on the Moonlight Bridge once (until the last shadow happened) Kotone just so happened to be there visiting when the mission happened and had tagged along to join the fight. Minato had a breakdown when they got there and Kotone had stepped up to be the leader (Fuuka stayed with Minato!)

They’re total opposites, but they complete each other in the things they lack

Minato

He was born first by 5 and a half minutes and teased Kotone relentlessly about it (not so much anymore)

He is really shy with new people, so much so he’ll go completely mute, but once he warms up to someone, he’ll be more expressive and open.

Kotone is the only person who’s seen his true self (before SEES came along at least)

He’s always been at Kotone’s side, so when he left for Iwatodai alone, he felt empty, and wouldn’t really interact with any of SEES outside of missions until after the Priestess mission.

He likes to collect CDs and manga

In track and photography club

insanely socially awkward someone save this man

tends to speak before he thinks, so he unintentionally upsets people and doesn’t realize

Gets embarrassed easily lol

Owns a guitar but sucks at playing it

He also writes lyrics!!!!

He bought his first keyboard after getting a lot of money from Tartarus. He’s been getting into making music just like his dad did !!!

Listens to a little bit of everything, but really likes metal and late 90’s-early 00’s rap

He listens to his dad’s CDs and his mom’s VHS tapes of her dancing all the time just see her face and hear his voice…He’s scared that he’ll burn them out lol Kotone can’t stand to watch and lister to them because she’ll start to cry and she hates crying

He’s really good at dancing thanks to his mom, and even took ballet when he was younger.

He’s in love with Fuuka!!!!!!( sorry not sorry!!! lmao)

He’s dated both a guy and a woman in the past. He’s biromantic and demisexual.

Kotone

She gets hyper easily and it made it hard for her to get friends early on, but she always had Minato so she was okay with it.

While she loves music, she’s never really wanted to compose or dance, she just loves listening to music.

Took a couple ballet lessons with Minato, but she didn’t like it so she quit. She did go watch him though!! Instead she started martial arts classes. she graduated with a black belt~

She uses a Naginata in battle, but she also uses her martial arts skills to beat shadow ass!!!! (Minato is so proud of his sister!!!!!)

Is a force to be reckoned with in Tartarus.. Minato was scared to let her join during her first trip to Tartarus, but after watching her stagger the Reaper in one punch (haha get it), he decided she’s just fine

She LOVES horror movies, much to Minato’s dismay (he…. doesn’t prefer them he‘ll but we all know he’s scared of them)

Always was the one to stand up for Minato since he never talked to anyone but his family. He would just sit there and take the bullying and Kotone was not having it!!!

When Kotone is home in Yasoinaba, she attends Yasogami high and works part-time as a tutor and at the Amagi Inn. She tends to spend time with the owner’s daughter and help her in her studys!!!!

She takes care of all the Inaba cats and updates Minato on the additions to their family everyday. (“Minty!! say hello to your new niece!” “My 17th niece.. Ko, you need to bring them here.” “Oh my god YES!!!”)

Kotone’s in drama club, but no sports clubs.

Ropes Minato into helping her practice lines cus secretly, he’s a really good actor too

She loves Tuxedo Sam, has a huge collection of Sam plushies (Minato won her a HUGE plush at a festival when they were 15)

also has a lot of plushies and squishmellows

pansexual club!!

Kotone falls in love too easily, and her crush changes like every week, but she never acts out on it cus she’s super nervous. (“OH MY GOD MINTY GUESS WHO I LIKE” “Who is it this time? Kanjiro-San, Chiko-Chan.. Ohh, or maybe do you like Karina-chan again?” “NO!!! ….It’s Tomo-kun…” “Oh, good luck.”) She’s never gone out with anyone cus of her shyness, but she’s also scared that she’ll fall in love with someone else during a relationship. She has gone on dates, but never made anything official.

On that note, Ko is a super flirty person! Max level rizz for sure

She loves hanging out with Ken!!! They learned that they both love Neo Featherman and talk about it all the time!!! She feels like she has a little brother and is happy she can be a big sister for once!!

She also loves her Junjun!!! They became super fast best friends, and she even helps Junpei with planning dates for him and Chidori!! Best wingwoman!!

Can I ask very Nicely for Jundori fluff hcs… they mean everything to me

*Breathes in*

My brother/sister/sibling

They ARE everything

Jundori Fluffy Headcanons

-Sun and Moon partners that no one knows how they got together except for them.

-Chidori's sketchbook(s) is now filled with Junpei portraits. Some are of just his face, others of his battle gear, and others just chibis of him doing silly stuff.

-Junpei goes full on Romeo on her when buying her stuff. As much as she loves it and appreciates it, he really should not be spending his life savings-

-Chidori often snuck out during the day just to go on dates with him. He took her to a lot of places she had not been to before.

-She also told Jin she was seeing someone, she didn't specify who. Especially because he genuinely seemed surprised and happy for her. (They're siblings, your honour).

-The only person Junpei told the full truth was to Makoto and Kotone. And they were pretty accepting of it.

-Despite not remembering him at first, Chidori always feels warm whenever he visits her. (I put at first because of an au that I am still working on-)

-He becomes a baseball coach and she becomes a well known artist in the future. Their schedules are not very busy, so they have a lot of time for themselves.

-No children. But they did adopt a cute puppy, a shiba inu. Chidori named her Medea.

Something that's really been screwing me up lately about HGSS is the possibility that Silver is homeless.

His father just dumped him on the side of the road three years ago and never looked back. The identity of his mother is never revealed (the probability of it being Ariana is not zero) but it's clear she's not involved in his life.

So where does Silver have to go? Nowhere.

In Sisterhood, Silver is eighteen by the time the story begins, but in canon he's probably twelve years old at most, meaning a nine-year-old spent three years alone.

And then think about how he's first encountered preparing to steal a Pokémon from Professor Elm's laboratory. How did Silver manage without one up until then? As a trainer, he can earn money in battles, which makes his obsession with becoming stronger, while it doesn't excuse his treatment of his Pokémon, somewhat more sympathetic. He has to be strong to survive.

I guess where I'm going with this is that I've never actually seen this possibility explored before.

I plan to in a future fic, though.

I want Kotone to come to the realization that he has nowhere to go and no one to go to. And no matter how rude he is to her, her heart still bleeds for him.

And when Kotone has finally managed to find a place for herself inside his own heart, she convinces him to come home with her. Silver will always have a place there.

But Silver makes a realization of his own that, while New Bark Town will always be waiting for him, Kotone is his home.

🍲Kotone Shiomi x Shinjiro Aragaki🍲Soup for All, in the Name of One

It felt like it was another one of those days.

Shinjiro stared down at the pot of soup as he absentmindedly stirred it, his lingering thoughts dissolving and marinating along with the soup base and vegetables. Ever since he had been freed from rehab, Shinjiro had been cooking practically every hour of his life for the past few months. This kitchen was more than just his way of giving back to the people; it was his way of atoning for his sins and apologizing for the rampant destruction he left in his wake.

His original plan was to let death claim him one way or another. However, a dear friend of his completely changed his outlook on life as a whole, driving him to press onward.

He wanted to keep living, for she couldn’t.

The tray of chopped up vegetables was practically calling to Shinjiro, as he had yet to add them in. Ideally, he should’ve added them in a few minutes ago, but he lost track of the time while preoccupied with his own troubles. Now, the soup was going to be far from perfect. Those who visited Shinjiro’s kitchen could care less, as even a meal imperfect meal by Shinjiro’s standards was enough to bring life into their frail bodies. However, he would still be left the lingering regret that the food was not as perfect as it could’ve been.

If Kotone were still around, she would turn this into a prime opportunity for teasing Shinjiro. Something about him “being a sweet man despite his high emotional walls,” to name one example. Or how “cute” it was to see just how easily his heart fluttered and attention wandered at her presence.

It would’ve been something like that. But that was many, many years ago. Despite them only knowing each other for a few months, and dating for even less, Kotone left such an impression on Shinjiro that the memory of her still remained very close to his heart.

It was this very treasure of a memory that allowed him to cheat death, not once, but twice. She was kind enough to go out of her way to retrieve a lost pocketwatch of Shinjiro’s, and it was this very trinket that turned a lethal gunshot into a coma that still couldn’t take down Shinjiro. Gunshot wound aside, Shinjiro fought through his decaying mental state and the darkness of Persona suppressants attempting to take hold of his body, reaching out for Kotone, his guiding light at the end of the tunnel.

She did not hesitate to reach back. In fact, her arms were always open and welcoming, no matter how low Shinjiro managed to crash, as she would lift him back up time and again all to see a faint trace of a smile on his face.

Once again, that would have been many years ago. Nevertheless, Shinjiro still found himself distracted by what he once had, and what he desired most to reclaim in his life. Every time that he thought he had finally moved on from Kotone, his feelings for her would return and crash into him like a semi-truck. It didn’t matter if he was lazily stirring soup, flipping pancakes on a griddle, or constructing sandwiches by hand, his ever-present love for Kotone would cause his mind to wander, hindering his performance. He hardly even mentioned his grief to the former S.E.E.S. members. Not like he would have much of a chance to, as contact between the group was rather limited due to everyone focusing on their own individual path in life.

The only one who knew of his heartache was Koromaru, who had taken up residence in the shelter as a sort of therapy dog for those seeking a roof over their head and a warm meal. He had become quite white-muzzled with the passing years, but one would hardly assume that he was at least ten years old with the amount of energy he possessed.

Much to Shinjiro’s surprise, Koromaru remained a gentle soul. Despite having to watch both his first master and Kotone die before him, as well as coming face to face with Death himself, it seemed as if nothing could cause the shine in his eyes to fade away. Shinjiro even argued that Koromaru was aging far better than he was. That little Shiba Inu was as happy as ever, while Shinjiro struggled with the scruff on his chin and the gaping hole in his heart.

The soup was finished, or at least, Shinjiro hoped it was. With how he found his mind wandering as he was preparing it, he hoped that it would be adequate. He stirred the soup around one final time before taste testing it for himself. He immediately tasted every minor flaw, though they were imperfections that only a seasoned chef like himself could discern. With a little grumble under his breath, Shinjiro was relieved that it was at least flavorful, and that his guests would be grateful nonetheless.

He can still hear her voice.

Shinji, it tastes amazing! Don’t talk down on yourself like that!

…She would say, then tackle him with a hug from behind.

Shinjiro shook his head, still trying to break free from these thoughts.

That was years ago. Let her go, dammit.

Before he opened the kitchen. Before he took his first steps into rehab to rid his body of the suppressants. Before he realized that he wanted to live, one day at a time.

…Perhaps, during his recovery process, he neglected to attend to proper healing of his grief-stricken heart. Though they did not know each other for a relatively long period of time, it cannot possibly be that easy to get over someone who had completely turned his life around for the better. What he would’ve done to be able to hear her sweet words of encouragement just one last time. Even when he would deny each and every compliment, Kotone insisted that Shinjiro was worth every moment and more of her time.

It wasn’t simply the praise for his cooking and combat skills that he remembered. It was the immense amount of faith that she kept in him even until the very end. Even when he was at his lowest point, ready to surrender his life as payment for his mistakes, she insisted on guiding him onto a path to a better future.

Did Kotone always know that she was destined to die? Shinjiro couldn’t help but wonder. Kotone always did have a lingering tinge of sadness underneath that bubbly personality, but the desire to die and the inevitability of fate are two completely different things. Perhaps that was a factor as to why she pushed for his survival, because she was sacrificing herself for a better future for all her friends and many more. She didn’t want her life to be a waste.

No. There had to be far more than that. Every bone crushing hug felt genuine, and only Kotone of all people could smile at the sight of his dreary scowl.

That bone crushing hug…Shinjiro would kill for one right about now.

Longingly staring at the pot of soup wasn’t going to do anything. The entire soup, from the base to the vegetables, was crafted in her memory, just as every other meal prepared in this kitchen has been. If he stood here for much longer, he would end up hearing Kotone complain that the food would get cold, and that it was more important to worry about them than her.

His mental vision of Kotone did have a good point. She had moved on, and Shinjiro felt as if it was his job to nurture what she had protected. Plus, Koromaru was likely outside of the kitchen growing impatient. He wanted his share of the food too.

See? Koro-chan thinks your cooking is amazing. Isn’t that what truly matters to you?

W-What about everyone else?

You act like the others don’t wolf down your food. Akihiko was out there begging for seconds.

At least this time, he should spare her a smile. That’s what Kotone would want from him now more than anything. If she was really watching over her friends from above, it would break her heart to see Shinjiro fall apart after years of redemption and mending.

Shinjiro studied his reflection in the still pot of soup. It was true that he had been feeling a bit down as of late, and many would argue that a frown did not suit him one bit. Despite his scruffy and rough appearance, he possessed a caring heart. If Kotone didn’t believe in that, he would not be here running this very kitchen today.

He forced a little smile, then tapped the ladle on the rim of the pot signaling to his guests that food was ready to be served.

I dont have a clear idea in my mind but ever since I sketched that dumb AU of Shinjiham in HS i have the feminine urge to make up a HC of them lmao i doubt anybody be reading this but i like talking to myself and reread this the next morning so ima just write this down lol

Like I said I dont have a clear idea but basically Shinji extended his study and ended up in the same year as Kotone (11th grade) because he actually got into a coma. Im playing around the idea that the story revolves around why is he in the same year as she is? Why did he fell into coma and how did he get into coma in the first place? This also means that Kotone didn't meet him until he enrolled into her class. Aki is still her senior and they're friends because idk I havent think of this yet lol but anyway one day Aki asked if she can help him keep an eye on Shinji and told her about him going to enroll in her class soon and he knows Shinji will struggle because he's pretty much an outcast and some people speculates and make rumors about his reasoning for his extension and Aki really cares for him and doesnt want him to fall behind or fail so he asked her a favor to help him out.

Shinji is hard to befriend at first and tell her to buzz off but when she mentioned Aki asked her to keep an eye on him and she won't take no for an answer, he sighed and said how annoying he is for setting him up like that lol At first he is kinda frustrated at how persistent she is on trying to help him and how she gets into everyone's business in class but he's aware of how contagious her presence can be and knows how people around her always be at ease when she's in class so he slowly opened up to her and accepts her kindness.

I dont really want him to be as depressive and suicidal as canon but I can see him having a self-worth issue and having a hard time accepting goodness around him. I kinda imagine at one point Shinji and Aki had a huge fight about him pushing everyone away and screaming at him that he's not as mysterious as he thinks he is and he's too blind by his own pity party to see how people still loves him and it took him a fist on the face and Aki crying to get that through his thick skull.

After the fight, he didn't come to school for a few days which actually worries Kotone because despite how uninterested Shinji always be in class, he never delibrately skip class and oddly enough he always pass his homework on time so she visited his place with his homework packets (and after bribing the office clerk for his address) and when she sees him all bruised up in his face she was like SHINJI WHAT HAPPENED WHY YOURE ALL FUCKED UP WHO DID THIS TO YOU AWAFSJQGRAJALA and he hissed at her to shut up and after she apologised, he admits that Aki punched him and after reassuring her it's technically his fault, he asked if she actually liked him and just as she's about to stammer with red on her cheeks, he quickly corrected himself that what he meant is if she likes being friends with him because he is such an ass to her and opens up about what he fought about with Aki and it's not until he sees tears in Aki's face that he's not the only one hurting and him pushing people away to not hurt them actually hurts other people too. Kotone assured him that if he realized that, its not too late to change and he has friends to help him get back on his feet. When she mentioned "friends", he looked at her and asked "Kotone, are we friends?" And she beamed at him and hook his pinky around her and whispered "Always been." and that's when he really accepts her and sees her as a genuine friend and not some annoying girl in class.

Idk how do I make them ended up dating but I just like the idea of a slow burn relationship so in the meantime they're just friends with budding feelings towards each other hsksksksksk

#also both Shinji and Aki are orphans of course but I imagine they lived separately in their own foster family homes #their homes arent bad but Aki has better functioning foster parents while Shinji's parents arent involved in him-#so Shinji works at the convenience store at night whenever he's free for extra money #and they basically took Shinji in just for money while keeping his basic needs at bare minimum #Kotone at the other hand lives with her aunt and rn i havent think about if her home condition is okay or nah #oh i know i will be so annoying about this HS AU to myself lol hsksosla #if you guys read this lol thank you for tolerating my annoying ass #also if you guys take this seriously lol pls dont this is just me being self indulgent and i get to be cringe whenever and whatever i want #asukaspeaker #persona 3 headcanons #persona 3 #shinjiro aragaki #kotone shiomi #shinjiham #akihiko sanada #persona 3 headcanon

“That’s Ken-kun’s dungeon!?”

Naoto stares up at the looming tower, and Akihiko curses quietly.

“Tch. We shoulda known the kid wouldn’t be able to let go of what happened so easily...” Shinji mutters, gripping his Evoker.

Fuuka stands next to Rise. “I think it’d be best to divide your teams now. Rise-chan and I will provide support from here.”

Yu glances around. “Makoto, Akihiko-san, and Yosuke. Come with me.”

Yosuke grins, bounding over to his friend. “You can count on me, Partner!” He says joyously, and Akihiko notices the look on his face when Yu turns away. It’s the same that Akihiko wore whenever he thought of Shinji, whenever his mind wandered into areas he used to block off, strayed into territory he deemed too dangerous to venture in- especially since the thoughts were about Shinji.

Yu knocks his elbow against Yosuke’s, then strides away to discuss something with Naoto and Kanji. Akihiko uses the opportunity to place a hand on Yosuke’s shoulder.

“...You love him, don’t you?” He mutters, and Yosuke sighs, nodding once.

“I do. I didn’t realise it at first, but... I really do. It’s scary, Akihiko-san. Am I allowed... Am I allowed to feel like this?”

Yosuke looks up at him with shiny eyes, and Akihiko is terrifyingly reminded of himself, desperate for validation from those older and wiser than him.

Akihiko nods. “Me n’ Shinji could do it, even after I almost broke his jaw. You two seem to have a pretty strong bond, one that I’ve only ever seen twice before.”

Yosuke tilts his head- but before he can ask further, Yu comes back.

“Hey! Sorry, had to check with Naoto what they were planning on doing. Hey, are you alright, Partner? You look ready to cry...”

Yu places his hand on Yosuke’s other shoulder, and Akihiko steps away as the two hug.

“Yeah, ‘m okay. Don’t worry about me, alright? It’s nothing,” Yosuke says, resting his head on Yu’s shoulder. He looks at peace there.

“Hey, lovebirds! We’ve got a kid to save!” Chie shouts from across the path. The two jerk away from each other, Yu’s face a furious red. Akihiko almost laughs.

The groups have been divided, he realises. Naoto, Kanji, Mitsuru and Yukari are in one group. Koromaru, Shinji, Kotone, and Yukiko are in another. Chie and Junpei stand awkwardly together, hovering by Kotone’s group.

Akihiko is almost ready to drag her into his group, when Fuuka shouts.

“AIGIS!”

The robot comes marching up to them, looking frazzled but intact. “Sorry I am late,” she says with an apologetic smile. “There were... Shall we say, technical difficulties getting here. But all is well now, and I am ready to fight.”

Makoto and Kotone rush forward, both hugging her tightly. Kotone presses a kiss to her cheek, and Makoto’s hand drifts to the knot of the ribbon on her neck. It’s smaller since the last time Akihiko saw her, no longer big and showy, but still enough to protect her Papillon Heart. It’s yellow, matching her blue sundress. Classy.

Akihiko pulls her into a hug once the twins back off into their respective groups. She smells like lavender and lemon. “You missed the reunion... We were worried about you.”

Aigis embraces him back, a bit too tight and a bit too long, but Akihiko finds he doesn’t mind at all. “I apologise for worrying you. We can have another one once we rescue Ken-kun. Now, are there any groups that need another person?”

Aigis steps away, scanning the rather large group SEES has amassed.

“Do you two need another person?” She asks Chie and Junpei, who look up. Chie’s eyes go to the sundress Aigis is wearing, but regardless she nods. Junpei just grins- telling enough for SEES, who’ve known each other through the end of the world.

“Heck yeah! Kicking Shadow butt is always more fun with a friend!” Chie declares, a grin forming on her face. Junpei spins his sword in his hand.

“You know we need your help,” he says, and Aigis smiles brightly.

“Very well, then. I’ll show you what I’m made of.”

gay recognizing gay with aki and souyo... i love the way aki can see through their denial and internalized homophobia because he's been there. he sees himself in them and he can help them because hes been there. gah this man is just a father to all these kids... AIGIS AND KOTONE DATING?? GHHHGVHBJN also aigis joins the crew!!! all the help we can get to find ken :D also so excited to hear about ken's dungeon if you have any ideas!!! i feel like theres a lotta potetial there

Other ships you like in p3 besides the akishinji?

yall will not believe me when i say this but i love hamugis (kotone/aigis) just as much if not more + it had way more of an actual impact on me than akishinji 😭😭 i love to draw my boys yes ofc but i think experiencing hamugis for the first time like genuinely rewired my brain. it makes me so emotional when i have the time to deeply ponder on it … will not be going into that here but yes. Hamugis is one of my genuine favorites in the entire franchise if not just p3 <3

i sort of multiship around the rest of sees, like i love junfuuka, junmina, and ofc jundori. i default to jundori usually but ive always wanted to draw some junfuuka … theyre actually soo cute & i actually do think about them often

yukamitsu is a given, actual perfect ship … but i also think yukaham (yukari/kotone) is so fucking cute . i haven’t seen much of them together and it’s also one i want to draw sometime….

i think that’s kind of it. i have ships i passively enjoy but im not so passionate about so the ones i mentioned here are the main ones i think really interest me that i loveeeee ✌️

#ask #junpei getting passed around like a blunt #im so sorry hes perfect…#sorry hes amazing and fits perfectly with anyone… it must be tough…

✦ note ↷ happy b-day my bby tiger!!! i want to give you all the love of this world!!! a bit sappy for tora, i love him sm! hope you like it!!

kei and kotone

reblogs and comments are appreciated!!!

Kazutora wasn't fond of his birthday, he doesn't remember a happy birthday from his early childhood. However, everything changed when he met Baji and you, on the day of his 11th birthday.

He can still remember Baji's grin and yours after you three set a car on fire, enjoying the sight of the fire consuming the machine.

Now twelve years later, many things have changed, he doesn't have only two friends but more. He works with his childhood friend and a boy he met during his adolescent years. And now he is happy.

More importantly, he has a place he can call home. You.

You are Kazutora's precious treasure and first love, first kiss and first everything.

Before calling you his, however, he had to go through a lot. The journey wasn't simple, his own insecurities didn't let him think about a possible future with you.

During his all life, Kazutora never thought he deserved to be truly happy, despite Baji and Chifuyu attempts to tell him otherwise.

He thought he didn't deserve to be with someone as you, you were the sun and he the moon.

Two lovers destined to always long for each other but never touch or hold the other. And he was happy, or so he tried to convince himself, Kazutora would have traded his whole life just to see you happy, even without him.

And yet, you proved him wrong. You stayed and never left him, always there to help him, to listen to him or just staying near him.

Never once, you left him, and Kazutora couldn't understand why.

Why do you continue to stay with an unhappy and troubled teen like him? Why won't you choose a guy like Mitsuya or Takemichi? Why do you always choose him?

These questions found an answer during a summer day, it was your last high school year, you two were waiting at your Baji’s house, Chifuyu and Baji, who were buying food and cold drinks.

You were laying on Baji’s bed, Peke J as usual hogging your lap, enjoying your head pats and belly scratching. Kazutora was sitting on the floor near the bed, his back against the wall, as he was smoking a cigarette, he stole one from Chifuyu’s pack.

He was lost in his thoughts that he didn’t notice, you were shifting your position, now sitting beside him, Peke J still laying on your lap.

“Lemme try one, Tora” You asked, looking at the stick between his lips, he almost finished smoking that one.

“Baji will kill me if he knows that you smoked. And I can’t steal another one from Chifuyu, or he will notice.” Kazutora remarked before blowing out the smoke.

You pouted at his answer, clearly it wasn’t what you hoped he would say, but you wouldn’t give up until he gave in. Annoyed, you quickly stole the stick and put it between your lips, finally tasting the so-dreamed nicotine.

Kazutora was speechless and didn’t know how to react when you stole his cigarette, on one hand he was annoyed by your bratty behavior, and he accuses Baji of spoiling you, his little step-sister, too much. But he would never admit, how beautiful you looked while smoking. It matched with your classy attitude, you didn’t take after Baji’s reckless behavior.

“Baji spoils you too much… And that’s the result” he mumbles, looking away from your lips, your lipstick smudging the stick. They were beautiful, the color really suited your lips, they looked so soft… Maybe they were. He could feel his cheek burn at the thought, how could he even think that!? Why the sudden though of kissing your lips, made his heart beat faster and louder, and his anxiety grew, as his mind wonders. Would you love him kissing your lips? Or you see just as a friend and nothing more. Too lost into his thoughts again, he didn’t see how close you were to touch each other. Now, you were sitting in front of him, your hand gently pushing a strand of his hair behind his ear, your hues concerned for his strange behavior.

“Huh?” he only murmured, trying his best to not focus on your parted lips, the cigarette now between your fingers. He gulped, unsure to what to say.

You giggled at his flustered face, you knew the effect you always had on him, how he trembled or tried to not act too embarrassed, when you got too close to him. Maybe you were a bit mean with the teasing, but you didn’t know how to tell him. And no matter how many times you try to confess, you can’t bring it up, you fear that it will ruin the both of you. Love wasn’t like the shoujo manga Chifuyu lent you, trying to guide you towards the right way to confess.

“Kiss me… Tora~” you murmured a few centimeters off his lips, and you smirked seeing his cheeks getting redder, then you felt him grabbing your wrist and pulling you in a kiss.

Kazutora never imagined that he would one day kiss you, those words you said, even if they were just a tease, he decided to not care anymore. Quickly, he pulled you in his lap, kissing you until you both ran out of hair. And yet, he didn’t leave your lips for one second, he couldn’t stop kissing you. Years of waiting, finally bore their fruits, and you seemed to enjoy it. Your hands found themselves on his hair, playfully pulling his strands. Eyes closed and mind lost in the heat of the moment, both you two found the answers of your questions.

Kazutora now knew that you loved him, he saw how your eyes shined when he kissed you, how eager you were to finally kiss him. He finally had someone he could call home. And this time, this new home wouldn’t turn into a cold and abandoned home.

Kazutora loved you as much as you did, and the kiss sealed your answer. You could be a couple now, and no matter how hard and difficult your life will be from now on. You will never leave him, you will always be there, near his side, holding his hand, hugging him, kissing him. Just staying.

Breaking the kiss, you cupped his cheeks, lovingly and placed a chaste kiss over his lips. He laid his cheek on your palm, basking in the warmth. Everything was perfect, the sun was shining, the wind was calm and no one would interrupt anythin-

“Kazutora you fucker! What are you doing with my sister!?” You jolted, completely forgetting about your brother, Keisuke, now he was standing near the door, Chifuyu next to him, the blonde was smirking, clearly expecting to be informed about your kiss. However, before telling him that you have to stop your brother from killing the only guy you love, which seems a quite difficult mission. Luckily, Chifuyu was there and you two prevented homicide getting into the list of Keisuke’s crimes.

“Kei, Tora and I are going out~ So treat your brother-in-law well! Or I will tell mom!” You grinned, hugging Kazutora’s arm to your chest, as you two laughed your asses off seeing how pale Keisuke went. It was truly a sight.

Years went by, you and Tora went through everything, the first dates, the first sneaking outs (always interrupted by Keisuke, as he said, his big bro’s sense always screwed your plans), first time and first everything. Despite becoming a couple, almost nothing changed, it was as if you two were friends, and you were happy. One of your most feared consequences of getting together with Tora, was completely ruining your bond, and you didn’t want it.

Everyone was happy for both you two, even your brother, but as “punishment” he didn’t talk to you two for three days straight, it was adorable seeing him struggling to not say a word when you got on a date with Tora. Your step-mom, aka Kei’s mom, was happy to see you and Kazutora together, she always said you two were destined to be together, and she knew one day it will become true. It’s her mom sense, she giggled as she ruffled your hair, after you told her the news.

The whole Toman was happy too, they congratulated Kazutora and teased your brother for almost three whole weeks, much to his displeasure. Emma and the girls, even Yuzuha who was surprised at the sight of you and Kazutora coming to a meeting hand-in-hand, demanded the whole story and without excluding any detail.

Kazutora couldn’t believe how his life turned out, after you two kissed on that sunny day, he couldn’t express how much he was happy to have someone he can call home. He basked in the warmth and love you spoiled him with, for him, it was never enough. Years of being deprived of it, made him believe he was unfit to be loved or love, and yet you provide him wrong. He learned that love isn’t always something flashy or theatrical, love is waking up beside you and watch the dawn together, love is fighting like children while baking cakes, love is preparing each other’s coffee or tea. Love is cuddling while watching a terrible rom-com movies and hearing you ramble about it. Love is multiple things and not just ‘I love you’s.

Before you know it, you found yourself walking down the aisle, wearing the most beautiful wedding dress, the one you always drew when you were a small child, thanks to Mitsuya’s magic work. The one walking you down the aisle, wasn’t your father as the tradition wants, but it’s Keisuke, you asked him to do, and he accepted in a heartbeat. How he could deny it? Especially if it’s his baby sister? The one who asked to sleep together after a bad nightmare. Near the altar, Kazutora was waiting for you, and the lovesick look on his face was a true piece of art. The wedding was the best day of your life, it was a dream becoming true, everyone you loved was there, and you couldn’t ask more. You still remember the tears that Kazutora and you cried when you declared your love in front of family and friends. Another step of your life was done, but there were many more, and you couldn’t wait to face them.

“Papa! Wake up! Mama prepared a big big cake for you!” A voice reaches Kazutora, who was still deep in his sleep, then he feels something sitting on his back, patting his shoulder and murmuring softly in his ear the same sentence. Slowly, he opens an eye, seeing black hair and gold eyes looking at him with curiosity. It’s his daughter, his beloved Kotone, a five-years old little girl.

“Papa, you’re awake! Let’s go to the kitchen! Kei is sleeping. Mama said that uncle Kei and uncle Fuyu will come too.” She giggles as she feels Kazutora taking her in his arms, getting up and going to the kitchen. Kazutora kisses her cheek as he listens to her recent dream, finally he enters the kitchen and a soft smile appears on his face. No matter how many times he sees you, for him, it will always be like the first time, your beauty will last forever. His smile grows even more when he sees you walking towards him with his son Kei in your arms, now awake, and even he got his black hair and golden eyes.

“It’s unfair that none of our kids has your eyes” He murmurs, voice still laced with sleep, as he bends over to kiss your forehead. Kotone and Kei squeal at the sight, giggling like the kids they are.

“I love that they have your eyes, it reminds me of your eyes on your 11th birthday. They were shining… Like now” You murmur, kissing him on the lips this time, closing your eyes. You feel his lips on yours, a chaste kiss, chaste and pure, like your love has always been for him.

“I want a love like mama and papa’s one! I want to kiss Hiro-kun like this” Kotone exclaims, her golden eyes shining with love, as you laughs at Tora’s expression, now he is pouting like a child. Kei babbles happily, seeing his father’s pale face, finding the situation funny.

Kazutora sighs before smiling at the sight of his little family, the family he always craved for. His most precious treasure.

What caused you to start writing? What was your key point?

What is your favorite canon muse?

What are you looking for in a ship?

What are the trends when it comes to writing that you adore?

Questions for the mun

What caused you to start writing? What was your key point?

((Frankly I can't give a very concrete answer to this question. I think at the time when I was browsing the YGO forums I saw there were people writing the characters out in different scenarios and little middle school me said "People can do that? Just write characters like that?" And so I wanted to give it a go myself, see how it felt and if I liked it.

You can see where that led to now that I'm currently juggling about...4 different RP blogs on this site hahah!))

What is your favorite canon muse?

((I'll keep it to just this blog because I know for a FACT if this encompassed ALL muses I've written, have written before, and the ones simply stuck in my head never to see the light of day, it'd be a VERY HARD choice.

So for your answer, my favorite has to be Aigis. Makoto comes in a VERY close second along with Kotone, but the robot maiden has swept herself into my heart and taken over my brain space.))

What are you looking for in a ship?

((First and foremost, I always want there to be a good chemistry between the two muses. If they work well together, if the other muse can handle how my muse acts, works, presents themselves in various situations, and of course if their personalities mesh well together. It shows a lot about a relationship between two characters when they're presenting with a situation where one muse shows a very different side of themselves, one not known by many and one the muse does not like either.

If my muse can handle that side, or if the partner's muse can handle that side of my muse, the potential for a ship grows a little more for me.))

What are the trends when it comes to writing that you adore?

((I'm not too sure if this is considered a trend, but if we're talking specifics on the Tumblr RPC I absolutely LOVE dash commentary events. It's so fun when one thing starts and then it avalanches into several other muses commenting on what's going on, some joining in on the situation, or other trying to stop it. I've seen dash commentaries where it's spread to OTHER RPC fandoms, and then the circle grows even more! It makes its round and it spreads even further beyond just the one fandom RPC.

That's how you can discover other awesome blogs and gain more followers too! It's such a positive trend and I'm so happy it's a constant in most RPCs I've explored throughout my years being on this hellsite.))

tell me abt the okujima single parent au 🥺

HEY SORRY YEAH HERES MORE

Makoto was so eager to impress Haru in the beginning. And always, really. But. Oh she was down bad right from the start

She's got like. Negative natural rizz and kept trying to flirt and it was so fucking painful. Stuff like "aha, wow nice weather. Kinda. Kinda like you"

"...Ms Niijima it's raining??"

Akira and Ren just had to watch their mom be cringefail and. Somehow she still got a date. And married. Damn.

Their first date is dinner at a pretty low-key neighborhood pub, and. Makoto was convinced it would be just a nervous first date but her sister insisted on watching the boys, taking them for Aunt Night

Makoto wears her nicest buttonup, charcoal, with black pants and a navy tie. She's embarrassed that she has to take her date on the bus, but Haru, in her lovely summer dress and pulled up hair, she uses it as an excuse to tuck right into her side

Haru is batting her eyelashes throughout the dinner, practically playing footsie under the table. The wait staff are confused cause. One of them heard Makoto ask Haru what her favourite flavor of cream cheese was. And then talk about why her favourite was garlic chive

You see anything could've happened on that date and Haru still would have intended to spend the night with Makoto. She's been down bad from the start too, so down bad she pushed herself through a very awkward encounter with her own daughter, trying to explain why she wasn't going to come home that evening

Haru: you'll be fine on your own tonight, right? I don't need to call your grandpa?

Kotone: mama? Aren't you just going on a date with that library lady? Why wouldn't you come home?

Haru: well. You see.

Kotone: ...YOURE GONNA DO THAT ON THE FIRST DATE?! MAMA?!

Haru decides, much later, so much so that it's nearly morning, that the result was worth that conversation.

Tae and Sae both adore Haru, and spoil Kotone as much as they do the twins. They're the dual income lesbian aunts bringing the gift reckoning. They're adored

Okay some more focus on the kids once they're more grown cause. I have stuff for them too

Kotone, of course, mega gay, in love with both Yukari and Mitsuru. Mitsuru confesses to both when she graduates, a year ahead of them. She says it's clear there's something between all three of them but with her leaving, that at least Yukari and Kotone should try. And if either still has a splinter of feelings for her by the next year, to join her at uni

She gets showered in kisses before she leaves, of course. As of either would ever lose interest in her, of all people. Mitsuru and Akihiko room together and it's very much Lesbian and Gay Man existing in barely functioning shared space

I hc that Mitsuru likes to physically separate her work from her relaxation. Aka she just. Strips when she gets home from class. Lounges in a bra and panties. Akihiko hates it.

Her next set of roommates. Are much more appreciative

Kotone and Yukari spend the year getting closer. They don't call it dating, wouldn't be right without their third. But. They kiss, and when they have sleepovers they share the bed, waking up cuddled together. But it's not datinf, they're not dating

Until they both move in with Mitsuru. All three, at uni together, in one apartment. Yukari is the big cuddler. Always starting contact randomly. Mitsuru is. For lack of a better term the horniest of the three, and Kotone. Is so full of love

Though it is a lot when she's curled up with Yukari and Mitsuru just starts. Kissing her neck all sensual

TIME FOR THE BOYS

So Ren as a teen is pretty quiet, calm. His ADHD meds get lowered, just a little. He's athletic, enjoys gymnastics actually. He's besties with Kasumi and Sumire, and he has a thing for track champ Ryuji. Ren's also really open with his feelings. So within a week Ryuji is his boyfriend

Ren also has glasses. He doesn't need them. It just keeps him from being confused for Akira

And. Well. Akira. Never lost his trouble maker genes, he's besties with Futaba and has the crafty mind of someone who always knows a little too much. He has a fact about everything, and his meds are at the max. He's reached the legal limit. Impulse control is not his strong suit

He's on debate team, and every week he has a battle of wits with Goro. Everyone else knows they're in love but them. Long story short, right after their final debate they end up in a closet making out. Nearly more but they get discovered

Makoto and Haru don't end up having a kid of "their own". They dont

...stop looking at me like that

...

Someone convince me out of adding the P4 group into this mess with another kid-

#single parents au #okujima #mitsuru kirijo #akeshu #akira kusuru #ren amamiya #ryuji sakamoto #makoto niijima #kotone shiomi #yukari takeba

Everyone-Lives Post-Canon Headcanons

Shinjiro goes back to school, but it takes him two more years to graduate -- partially because he's just that behind and partially because he got shot and was in a coma for months; he's too sick to start third year over immediately, and when he does manage to go back, physical therapy and surprise hospital stays slow down his progress a lot. Under pressure from Mitsuru, the staff at Gekkoukan works with him a lot to get him the accommodations he needs to eventually graduate two years later.

The rest of SEES throws a massive party to celebrate his graduation, just as extravagant as they one they threw for all of the others' simultaneous graduation, and he acts all gruff and uncaring but Shinjiro is secretly really pleased -- he worked his ass off to graduate despite everything and it's nice for that to be acknowledged.

(Also, if you're keeping track, this does mean that he graduates the same year as Chihiro, and, yes, they do develop an unlikely friendship that stuns and confuses the rest of their class).

Afterwards, he passes through a couple of part-time jobs that he likes well enough -- things like delivery driving, working at a grocery store, etc. -- until he's recovered physically enough to get a full-time job, at which point he immediately applies as a chef. He struggles to get hired at first, but his skills really speak for themselves.

Minato and Kotone both manage to graduate at the same time as Yukari, Junpei, Fuuka, and Aigis, although they also need a fair amount of accommodations and help from the staff. The physical weakness and constant exhaustion stick with them throughout their third year, and while they'll be able to manage the worst symptoms with medication eventually, that will take years of rigorous experimental research from Kirijo Corp. first.

They both want to try out college, but they take a year after high school to just rest and learn to live with their chronic illness. I could see almost any area of study working for either of them, but I'm fond of the idea that Minato studies to become a veterinarian, while Kotone studies to become a journalist.

(And, yes -- they're both still way more involved in seemingly every facet of campus life than should be possible for a single human.)

Of course, all three of them are members of the Shadow Operatives as well, on-call for emergencies just like Akihiko. Minato and Kotone are still wildcards, although summoning Personas other than Orpheus, Messiah, and Thanatos has become a lot more difficult for them, and Shinjiro's Persona has evolved and stopped acting out since he came to terms with himself during a heavy conversation with Ken sometime after waking from his coma.

(Imagine you're a civilian, you end up entangled in some Shadow bullshit, and the people who show up to save your ass are a dude in an apron who keeps grumbling about having to miss a shift for this, that lady who's always on the news for digging up huge stories all over Japan, and the guy who gave your dog his rabies shot. And a shirtless buff man in a cape.)

Koromaru stays in the dorm with the rest of SEES. After a year, it's only Ken, Shinjiro, and Koromaru left, which is awkward at first, but ends with Ken and Shinjiro growing so close that no one is surprised when Shinjiro adopts Ken a few years later. Ken keeps his last name, and they don't call each other "dad" or "son", but they both slip up occasionally -- Ken will call himself "Ken Aragaki", or Shinjiro will accidentally call Ken "my kid" instead of "the kid". Either one will stubbornly deny that it ever happened immediately afterwards.

Chidori! She's enrolled in school as well, but not high school -- she's taking a variety of online classes meant to help adults get their GED. Having lived such a tumultuous life with so little education, and now lacking so many memories as well, she struggles a lot with these classes. Junpei does everything he can to help her, which leads to him suddenly becoming a massively better student in his third year and shocking all the teachers by placing fairly high in his class. When people ask what changed, expecting him to say that he learned a life lesson or decided he wanted to go into an academic career, he's always happy to say that it was because he stayed up studying with his girlfriend.

They date for a very long time before ever getting engaged, mainly because it's such a big life change and Chidori is having trouble just adjusting to normal life without another wrench thrown in, but everyone around them constantly forgets that they're technically not married and refers to them as husband and wife, and they never correct them.

(When they do eventually get married years down the line, it's because something suddenly reminds them that, oh yeah, they're technically not married. Whoops. This is followed by an engagement that lasts barely two weeks and a slapdash wedding where they basically just invite their friends over and say, yep, we've finally made it official, now let's get takeout. Shinji refuses to get takeout on their fucking wedding and grumbles about needing more prior notice before putting together a feast himself. Minato and Kotone help as well, but Fuuka is only allowed to chop vegetables and stir whatever's on the stove.)

Usually, everyone's busy schedules keep them from being able to have large meet-ups, but, at the very least, every single year they all get together on March 5th. Sometimes they all have a party, or arrange some other festive activity. Sometimes they all just meet up in Iwatodai and talk quietly amongst each other until it's time to part ways again. None of them have ever missed it -- not even Mitsuru that time her phone was blowing up all day or Akihiko that time he forgot the date and had to buy a plane ticket from some random other passenger minutes before takeoff.

👁‍🗨 - what is a secret that kotone and drayton hasn’t told and might never tell?

Questions For My Muse(s) [ accepting ]

That she's incredibly lonely. That she's desperate for attention. That she wants people to see her for who she is. She doesn't want to be an afterthought anymore. She always felt like an afterthought with her parents, who were more focused on work than they ever were on her. But asking for those things feels wrong and selfish. It feels like wanting too much, even though it's incredibly natural to want people who love and accept you.

And that's absolutely why she settles for doing things that would otherwise get her in trouble or are outright dangerous.

She would never admit to anyone that she's crying out for love and attention. Who does that? No. It's fine. Smile. Pretend like nothing hurts.

Nothing's wrong.

Nothing.

Is.

Wrong.

She promises.

Drayton would never admit out loud that he's incredibly jealous of and resentful towards Iris. Sure, she's like a sister to him in a lot of ways, but she also added to the mounting expectations on his shoulders. Whether she realizes it or not...

Being Drayden's grandson, everyone — especially Drayden himself —expects him to be an incredible Dragon type trainer. He's all but expected to be good enough to take over the Opelucid gym when he's mature enough to run it as well. But he has no interest in any of that. He doesn't want to run the gym. He doesn't want to carry on this legacy that was supposed to belong to his mom in the first place.

Enter Iris. Even though he hated the way she stole all the attention right away because she's fun and strong and personable in ways he could never hope to be, at least when she was up and coming, it seemed only natural she would be the one to take over Opelucid gym.

And then she became Champion.

Suddenly all expectations to succeed Drayden were back on his shoulders. He's back to square one. Drayden has called him out on his lack of motivation so many times he's got the lecture practically memorized by now. And none of this is helped by his school reputation. Why can't he just follow his own path and figure out what he wants to do for himself?

But he can't do that. He can't be even more of a disgrace to his family than he already is. Might as well just keep his mouth shut and go with the flow — as always.
