warning: not graphic or in detail but mentions Naoto's observation that Yosuke's been homeless sometime in the recent past.

 

( Naoto makes a decision. )

 

Mostly focuses on arguments about Persona 4, but I also mention a lot of different fandoms in the process since this kind of bad argumentation exists.  The tl;dr is: an 'Objectively Correct Reading' doesn't exist, only subjective readings based on your own knowledge and life experiences, and if your English teachers said there was I'm sorry: they lied to you.  There's a reason why different literary critics and literary criticism styles exist--and they can be applied to any kind of arts, from art to film to comic books to TV shows.  So stop claiming you have the One Definitive Reading of the text (particularly when you're just trying to gatekeep minorities out of fandoms).  It just makes MIB and English Majors laugh at you.
(and also write ridiculously long essays showing how silly you are, and possibly swear because dear lord nobody's learning anything in English classes these days giles help i need some tea i joke about the state of American education in Shadowed Suspicion but really)
I enjoyed watching X-Files Jose Chung's from Outer Space while writing this though.  I recommend it.  MIB Alex Trebek is great.
Warning: covers sexism, lgbtq+ phobic writing/defense, racism (briefly) and other phobic writing/defense.

( Readers, I committed one of the classic blunders. I read the youtube comments. )

Summary: Yosuke was not part of the original investigation team. In fact, he wasn't even part of their world. He was a huge fanboy. And then he fell into Inaba, and his life changed forever...
Really old, so not perfectly written, and it was during my FONTS EXIST phase. Slightly inspired by Chisotahn's Ten Steps fic. The entire concept is a little chuuni/Gary Stu. I don't think it would be bad with some tweaking, but that's tweaking i don't really want to do, so we've got this instead.
Aeon Yosuke continues to be awesome.  If hurt from the last adventure.  He also messes with the fourth wall in a meta way.  There's also summaries of the next couple floors, because I wasn't kidding about Hermit pretty much broke my creativity for this story.  There's also the end, which if you're hoping for a well-written ending, you're...not going to find it.  It's pretty much just the lead up to the revelation without the revelation, plus a little flirting.

also, this is the last alternative paths non-Buffy work I've got to post (yay!) and I've got a lot of Bloody Petals and other Buffy works I want to post, so that'll probably take this posting slot starting next week.  not last week.  i sadly have no time machine.

while yes, I could split this up, I don't see the point.  this is all associated with the same thing.  the thing that probably got me to lose any hope of finishing this thing well before I had qualms about its writing quality.  i got a little too ambitious, and this unfinished thing was the result.  the plan was to split up the entire party to go into their own game and play multiple levels.  I didn't even get written one level per character and it's already this long.
I was planning on getting a little more into Takuma and making him less unlikeable in this one (I think).  Like other Magicians he's supposed to be a little annoying, but the player's actually supposed to see that.  And maybe end up liking him anyway, but him being obnoxious is actually supposed to be seen as a fault, rather than just a "oh that Takuma" sort of thing.
There's also the issue that this "chapter" really doesn't advance the fic along, either.  It's a fun concept but, uh.  yeah.  It's not actually the end of this floor, but the actual plot-relevant stuff I separated out to the next part.
if you want a taste, but don't want to read the whole thing, just read the beginning as it has some fun portal-esque dialogue.
(...unrelated note but I don't remember using -kun for naoto in this fic. well done past!me)
(though also the past tense is a little weird)

Note:  ...Relatively spoiler-free, actually.  Aside from who's in the team and stuff.  Naoto's shadow spoilers (brief, but still there).  Souji/Yosuke definitely a thing this chapter, and possibly pre-Chie/Yukiko?  Also, JJBA reference.  So, I guess, maybe kind of spoilers but not any more spoilery than the opening for Battle Tendency?
