Thoughts about Akechi because he's infected my brain
We really never see the "real akechi" in Persona 5 or even in Royal, I think. That's not to say there aren't honest moments and real emotions, but every moment we have with Akechi is him trying to get us to serve some greater goal of his. In vanilla that goal is obvious: he wants to get close to you to further his vengeance on Masayoshi Shido. In the third semester that goal is less obvious but I'd say he wants you to think he's an irredeemable monster and that you shouldn't care about him so you reject Maruki's deal. Third semester is slightly more honest with Akechi- his convictions and feelings are all real, but he portrays them in whatever way will get you to do what he wants while keeping you at an arm's distance.
I think the only moment in the whole game where Akechi isn't putting up some sort of mask is after you beat him in the engine room. Before he's kinda having a big feelings moment so while it's honest, it's an extreme. After? He has no more reason to act, he just has his one request: destroy Masayoshi Shido in his stead. And you do, for the last request of the boy you never really got to know.
So who is the real Akechi? I don't think Akechi knows himself, I think he's lived so many years with a mask as Shido's Assassin or the Detective Prince or a pleasant boy that he doesn't know which is real. I don't think we'll ever see the real Akechi, not in anything mainline, both because they better not be making another Persona 5 and because there is no 'real' Akechi without the masks, without the deception. His character is like Joker's, he's constantly tailoring himself to be what he needs to be because that's the only way a bastard child like himself can survive. It's why I like wildcard Akechi fics so much, because he's just as malleable as Joker. They're rivals, after all.
Someone please tag me whenever whatever this is is done I need it desperately š
Some of you seemed very concerned about poor Shadow in the teaser sketch I posted for the fic @not-freyja and I are currently planning.
Rest assured, Shadow isn't the only one who is going to suffer greatly in this story. ā¤ļø

So, this might be an unpopular opinion and I donāt care if I get hate! BUT! I have a bone to pick with the Zelda community. I canāt believe you guys⦠this is disgustingā¦. Now- you might be thinking āGet to the point ā and I will! I think the CDI games are better than Totk and Botw all together! YEAH! I SAID IT! The games are mid at best! Donāt believe me? Let me get out my notes⦠-shuffles papers- Ahem! Letās begin with the graphics. The CDI games are obviously superior and magnificent in every aspect there. Better colors and better animation of course. And donāt even get me started with the storytelling. We all know the CDI games triumph there. I donāt even need to get into it actually because it's so obvious⦠Actually! I donāt even need to explain myself because my opinion is not even an opinion itās a FACT! And anyone who disagrees is WRONG! And should go buy a little snack for themselves! because you need the calories in your brains! Yeah! Just roasted you guys! And now that Iām started. Letās talk about the Links! Wild is simply unappealing in every way! He has no flair at all. No cap. And Koridai? He can rizz up any gay person out there! That is plain as day! And if you donāt agree? Then I guess you and me can just not breathe the same air together anymore⦠fr fr in conclusion? Nintendo needs to hire me. Thatās a given, unmistakably.

I finally got around to making some stickers for my laptop! I don't have a sticker maker or anything I just did the whole sandwich between two layers of tape thing but I think it still looks good and I love it.
Here's what they look like printed out and stuck on my laptop... Ish. I'm not a photographer, so they look a bit more washed out than they do in real life. Only a bit, because printers b like that.
Obligatory y'all are more than free to print these out for your own stickers if you want, just don't like.. sell them or claim you drew them.
I've been doing a lot of sketching of this specific character, trying to get a design I like. Idk if I'm quite happy yet, but have some more Link
Local artist decides "fuck it, references are hard to find, let's start taking a pic every so often and posting it to tumblr" but it's day two this time
No credit required, but like, feel free to tag me with what you make, I'm interested.
