jayce talis it appears ive grown quite fond of you

joker and akechi persona 5 are beautiful to me because its like akechi will go "i hate you i despise you" and "thats just the sort of brainless sentimentality id expect from you" but hes like a traumatized shelter cat who only lets joker near him without biting because he's never experienced someone genuinely liking him for his real self before because he spends all his time lying and also his real self is a serial killer and all around bitch and joker is a normal nice guy with everyone else but hes got this weird codependent attachment to akechi because he's got a weird thing only half explained by getting arrested where he hides his real emotions all the time and makes himself as palettable and helpful to others as possible so they don't ask about any of his real feelings except akechi who inexplicably gets his freak and also tried to murder him multiple times

there’s a big difference between “i’m sad because a character i was emotionally invested in was killed off” and “this character’s death served no purpose, was used for shock value, and is the product of bad writing and i’m upset about that”

I always hated that people always assume when I dislike a character death I’m saying the former only when I really do mean the latter. If I complain about a character death only to be said it was “supposed to make me upset” one more time, I am going to be on the news.
