2 genres of fanfiction:
1) put that guy into situations
2) take that guy OUT of situations for the love of GOD let them REST
Smh I thought I was supposed to die at the end of the game, credits are rolling and I am not, in fact, dead. How dare I be misled so, either by the game faking me out or by the internet.
Bro this is such a great take on Akechi and Sumire's characters actually you're so right holy shit.
Ykw ykw im just gonna post a rant I made on Discord, Ahem:
Akechi is kind of the embodiment of parts of the thieves that make them, well.. Shitty thieves. Parts of themselves that inconvenience other people, or make them difficult, or otherwise present a reason that they might not be worthy of their power. The version of the thieves who got caught up in their own justice and fame.
And weirdly enough, I feel like Sumire kind of has a similar thing going on, but with parts of themselves they find pitiable. The version of the thieves who seem helpless without Joker to motivate them, children crying out for help.
Longer rant under cut
Akechi is the Ryuji who views everyone with inherent mistrust and hostility, because people who should’ve been good to him have hurt him before. Sumire is the Ryuji who lost a feeling of fulfillment from his sporty hobby after a traumatic event and wants that back more than anything.
Akechi is the Ann with a childish streak, for whom the only reason they didn’t murder their least favorite person in the entire world was out of a desire for him to just suffer far worse than that, who has grand dreams of fame. Sumire is the Ann who is socially awkward and blames herself for every tragic happenstance and who wants to prove herself to everyone.
Akechi is the Yusuke who was used as a pawn by his abusive father and settled into that life because it was just comfortable. Sumire is the Yusuke who wanted that life back more than anything, because things were normal back then.
Akechi is the Makoto who was willing to insinuate Ann was responsible for Shiho’s attempt just to hurt her, who played into a system she knew was cruel because as long as she swam with the current she wouldn’t get hurt. Sumire is the Makoto who so so desperately wishes she was her older sister, who feels she’ll never escape from her shadow.
Akechi is the Futaba who believed her life ended after her mother died, that she’ll never recover from that, she was too far-gone. And Sumire is a Futaba who was told she was right. And her only way out is for Joker to fix her. If not him she’ll take anyone really.
Akechi is the Haru with a sadistic side festering beneath her smiley, soft exterior, thoughts of vengeance brewing against the man who ruined her life. And she just has to keep it down, be a good girl, be polite. Sumire is the Haru who’s learned to stop fighting, because the person she is, is not and will never be good enough. She just falls into the same routine she’s always been in, because what’s the point in trying if she’ll always fail, or if no one will listen.
Have some Death Note & Persona 5 sketches based on What Happens when a Detective, a Mass Murderer, an Assassin and a Thief Time Travel? Amazing fic go read it y'all
Close ups + words in case my handwriting is unreadable
This is their dynamic to me
Light: "This is my friend Goro, he's very cute and sad. Pity him."
Adult: "awww, widdle guy"
Light: "I fucking hate you"
Goro: "never call me Goro again"
Dead boyfriend club
L: "I miss my mass-murderer husband"
Akira: "same"
Tortured by their boyfriends' naturally perfect hair
Ok but imagine if Akira wasn't sent back in time
L: "I'm going to Japan to find a child I doxxed"
Watari: 'ah yes, he's making friends'
Ok Wild's also given me some trouble because I could not for the life of me find a way to make her original. Like, BOTW/TOTK Link is already very original compared to other links, so changing their design feels kinda unnecessary. I tried to put em in a different outfit, but then I realized the botw/totk outfits are stupidly complex!! I just ended up hoping the metal arm is enough to make Beyond the Mirror wild stand out.
He/she/they

Hylian
The slayer of Calamity Ganon and the Demon Dragon, Wild's taken down his fair share of giant, malicious monsters. He's a bit of a free spirit, wanting to know absolutely everything about the land he first woke up in. As Zelda would say, Wild's got the spirit of a scientist, and they're more than happy to join in a quest that'll let them explore a completely new land.
Y'all should see how my face positively lights up every time I see the dark hour cutscene when I didn't decide to go to Tartarus because that usually means I get to see Pharos and I love this strange eldritch child. He just shows up, says something vague and ominous, smiles about being friends, and dips. It's amazing, thank you for making sure I know when the full moon is. It's completely redundant because I see the deadline constantly but your efforts are appreciated because you're trying to help you strange eldritch child.
Truly 😔
read shuake and maruki is mischaracterized read any other ship and akechi is mischaracterized why can't i ever win
Theatre kid Joker agenda spotted in the wild, absolutely correct and perfect idea ❤️
The whole outfit, the mask, his tendency to pull his gloves, the acrobatics, he's described as a "show-off" in one of the beginning cutscenes, he has theater kid written all over him. Shadow Okumura even calls him "pompous," to which he probably responded with a smug smile.
Had Shido not gotten him arrested, he would have become the darling of the stage, name spread far and wide for his theatrics and exuberance in every detail. He would have put on the best musical this town had ever seen. He would have stolen heart upon heart, in a slightly different way. If Shujin had a drama program, he would have been running it within the week, regardless of his criminal record.
At some point in time, he probably began reenacting plays in the attic, occasionally halting production after getting a call from Sojiro asking him what the hell he's doing. Futaba would have watched every second from her surveillance system. Had he discovered his true calling, he may have become warped by the allure of the stage, only to develop a Palace of his own against all odds. His appearance in it would constantly be changing to match whatever character he's adopted at the moment, even switching what language he's speaking.
Joker would have been a theater kid. He could have been the avatar of all theater kids.
Shouta couldn’t help himself, he blinked. And in that one, crucial moment, a demon tore its way into the world.
The being appeared from a tornado of brilliant blue fire, so bright it hurt Shouta’s eyes, roaring a deep, inhuman roar. Claws ripped through the flames, glinting in the firelight as bladed heels dug into the concrete. It had no face, just a mass of fire in the vague shape of eyes and a mouth on a smooth mask under a top hat. Inky black wings flared out from behind the creature, covering the moon and stars in complete darkness.
“YOU DARE HARM MY TRICKSTER?” The entity roared, towering over Shouta like a predator would its prey. Pure dark energy flowed from the thing’s claws, sucking the warmth from the air in an instant. Shouta felt an unnatural fear pierce his being, the kind that made him want to cower and hide and never come out. “BEGONE WITH YOU!”
First official art for A Transfer of Power, A Will of Rebellion! Scene taken from chapter 7, The First Infiltration
I didn't originally want to share stuff from this fic here on Tumblr, after all, this was more a Legend of Zelda/LU account. But then I started posting my Persona 3 Reload reactions and decided yeah, this is a 'whatever tf I want' account, Beyond The Mirror can be my Legend of Zelda account. So, here's what I've been working on lately! Art and writing for this one fanfiction. I'll figure out how to put images into ao3... Eventually. Maybe when I actually get some work done on the next chapter
