My two OC’s Rhea and Kadin hanging out <3
okie so I’ve noticed a lot of discourse in regards to the thunder saga and Odysseus. It’s interesting to see how everyone is seemingly split on him. Some say his crew were fools and Eury is a hypocrite while some say Odysseus is a snake and that it is harder to sympathize with him.
Personally I’m slightly more leaning towards the former, but I genuinely want to hear y’all’s thoughts!
That actually gives me some better context thank you! Honestly I do think it’s down to perspective and people’s personal favorite tropes versus tropes they don’t like. Like what you’re willing to put up with in the media you consume and for everyone it’s different.
Like I’ll be honest, I think Akechi is one of the best written characters in the game. However I also don’t really like his kind of characters. And that’s okie I recognize he just isn’t really a character I enjoy that much it’s down to personal taste.
And I think it’s the same with shuake/akeshu. It’s down to what you enjoy and I personally like clear cut and wholesome ships more than the complicated not so clear ones. Honestly my biggest confusion with the ship really is just how Futaba and Haru would feel about it. But I guess that’s the point, the relationship is complicated. I just sometimes wish there was some more emphasis on it to highlight how that is inherently a bit of a problem (like I feel like most people wouldn’t want to be friends with someone who is dating someone that really hurt them, even if it wasn’t intended).
No hard feelings though thanks! Your post did give me some better insight! I am getting it a little better now haha
I don’t get akeshu / shuake at all.
Like I get it from a typical “fandom loves the enemies to lovers trope” perspective but in all honesty I don’t get the insane brainrot the persona 5 fandom has for this ship.
Like do I think Joker cares for Akechi? Yes.
Do I think he was genuinely conflicted/tempted by Maruki’s ultimatum? Yes.
Do I think they have a genuine relationship and see a lot of themselves in each other and actually somewhat understand each other? Yes.
That being said, I really don’t see how anyone can look past the fact that Akechi tried to kill Joker. And okie fine enemies to lovers, fandom’s favorite ship aside, I don’t see how Joker can actually want a full on relationship (like romantic) with this dude when Futaba, Sojiro, and Haru are like right there?
This may just be me but I reallllllllly wouldn’t be friends with someone who is friends (hell forget even in a romantic relationship) with someone who horribly hurt me.
And I don’t think Joker loves Akechi more than Futaba, Sojiro, or Haru. Especially Sojiro and Futaba. Those two are like his family, and Akechi is responsible for their suffering.
Like… it’s kind of one or the other. Joker can’t be friends/dating Akechi without horribly betraying Futaba, Sojiro, and Haru. That’s just how I see it (but I’m open to hearing other perspectives!)
