What's Holding Me Back
Jun. 2nd, 2024 01:05 pm??? Okay, anyone wanna explain to me why the Joker used a flower symbol of a yellow iris? The hanakotoba I’m getting from multiple sites are ‘loyalty, good news’, and occasionally some other positive things? The closest thing is maybe knowledge, like, seek enlightenment and after you find it I’ll take my revenge, or mayyybe at a stretch ‘finally my day of revenge has come, this is good news for me’, but, like??? From its place in the story I always kind of assumed it was a similar meaning to the orange lily.

Idem Debitum
Jun. 29th, 2023 09:57 pmThe idea here for the title is that Yosuke in this universe is a law nerd and has done a decent number of civil cases—so he’d know debt terms. The debt remains the same; i.e. he doesn’t think he’s paid it off or that the terms of the contract should change and no amount of ‘you’re not at fault’ judgments from others will make him believe it. I also considered some ‘representing yourself’ terms, since he’s essentially the one putting himself on trial, but.
I don’t know what it is about this specific song that makes me go ‘this is the Verdict reasoning/putting together the pieces/thinking song’, but. It is what it is.
he's not kidding about Kanji's fashion, btw, man's one of the most well-dressed yakuza around. Unlike his counterpart he doesn't have a full gold suit and switches it up, but if you see one of the most eye-catching shirts particularly if it's got some sort of metallic pattern on it it's probably Kanji. (Honestly, he might be making one-of-a-kind shirts himself because he's awesome.) Not over the top, not gaudy, but he absolutely would fit right in at a nightclub.

Always Just Behind
May. 7th, 2023 02:21 amThe song wasn’t actually due to the lotus. I was listening to the song separately and then went ‘wait there are parallels to Asura/Taisha in this storyline my heart ow’, after which I cranked this out at a point I definitely should have been sleeping. And named the series. Also some steins;gate parallels.
Contains the tradition of graduating high school seniors giving the second-to-top button of their gakuran (school uniform) to the one closest to their heart.

Warning: This is the one where the kids realize Tatsuya and Jun used to date, so some mild homophobia from Yosuke (he gets over himself, but this isn't that one), depression, suicidal thought patterns. Viewer discretion advised & seek help if you need it.

Edge of Exile
Mar. 12th, 2023 04:51 pmWe know Jun’s majorly into the zodiac.
They remember Philemon but don’t remember too much about Nyarlie or anything Lovecraftian. Tatsuya meanwhile, has been reading to learn about the enemy, though largely nothing of that kind has been spotted in a long time.
Also this is absolutely going to be posted out of order.
It broke once while I was trying to post it. IDK. Retyped everything and it should work.

Chapter Summary: Jun considers how the kids are taking his confession about his past as the Joker and the fact that Tatsuya is missing and now has a dungeon of his own.

Rating: gen
Pairing: Jun/Tatsuya (still mutual pining) and Jun's not subtle about it in his own head.
Warning: It's not strong, but Jun definitely has noticed Yosuke's homophobia--but he's also conflicted and not thinking about it so he can get what needs to be done done. It will be addressed later.

Broken Hero Masterpost
Mar. 5th, 2023 02:47 pmUpdate: I did it. Very tempted to make an EP Tatsuya icon too, but I only have 2 more slots...mannn decisions are hard.
Given that I'm writing this series all out of order, this calls for a masterpost. I mean, we've already gotten out of order in posting and it hasn't even been that long.
(Also I might join the crowd and do a P5 crossover, but I still haven't played the game and that niche already has a lot of people filling it, I saw. Diamond is Unbreakable is my favorite Jojo's part; what do you want from me? We'll see once I get through this, which might take a while.)
This isn't the full list, either. Just what I've gotten done so far. Some parts of the dungeon are hard, and other parts are half-finished.
Series summary: Just because the Persona 2 cast didn't lose their memories and the world didn't end doesn't ensure a happily ever after...
