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!)
Well, look at that, me regularly posting the next chapter within 3 days. Shocked myself to be honest.
I don’t know what spurred me on to full on start writing this fic and it got longer and more large scale than I thought but hey I’m in for the ride Though in truth I blame @shima-draws for this I’m tagging you this time too since I really want you to see this part :) I am happy that it was well received. I really wasn’t expecting anyone to read it XD
Hope everyone enjoys reading!
Dang it I have been gone for so long from tumblr but I refuse to not rebloog this happy b day Kyouko!
Today, October 6th, is Kirigiri’s Kyouko’s birthday!
Happy Birthday!
This is what I was thinking too. And what’s sad is it that because she was trained (and lowkey groomed??) at birth for this task, she barely knows anything about this family she is supposed to be fighting tooth and nail to save (and is like the core goal of the game which is weird cause now we have a protagonist that is kinda disconnected from them which I talk about here).
ok. ive cooked. i dont trust hecate.
i was a bit confused why she rubbed me the wrong way instantly, and i think ive finally figured out why. i dont think she cares about melinoe. and i know that hecate on some level does care, she has to, but thats the point.
i think hecate has raised melinoe to be a weapon, and nothing more. no maternal care. no love. just training and training and death to chronos death to chronos and it makes me Scared for mel. whats going to happen when chronos is gone? what happens when her purpose is fulfilled? because no one ever asks her how shes doing either!!! no one in the crossroads checks in on her!!! they check in on her Task sure but never how shes feeling, how she's faring with all this. mel tells hecate shes feeling the pressure and hecate tells her to channel it. fuck, even as a kid, hecate only played hide and seek with her as TRAINING. they only see her for her purpose they dont see HER.
and!!! in a way!!! this would parallel zagreus! think about it!!! zagreus was hated by a lot of the house of hades because they saw his defiance as brattiness - oooo daddy won't let me go out so i'll RUN AWAY - when we know his feelings on the matter are a lot more complex.
do you think, when we finally get zagreus back safely, he's going to look his little sister in the eyes for the first time and find that she's just like him?
Well, look at that, I finally wrote a fic after all these months. I’m ALLLLIIIIIVE!
Anyway, I would like to preface this by saying that I’m not too into SAO and the only reason I wrote this is because @shima-draws drew this beautiful drawing of an upcoming SAO character and my favorite character from the show is Eugeo sooooo. Yeah I have 0% impulse control. I was briefly inspired and I sat down for hours writing this.
I hope you all enjoy reading it!
It is so jarring to go through the mouthwashing tag. One moment it’s a funny video of J*mmy and Swansea having a dance off. The next is a guttural depiction of a horse baby inside Anya.
What the hell even is this game
Welp, I can’t believe I somehow got back into Gravity Falls (haven’t watched Gravity Falls since like high school).
I got this idea at 3am.
No, I won't elaborate further
As the world moves on, she stays behind…
