1, 2, 10, 22, 25 (entire persona series) for the choose violence ask game (eyes)
Thank you <3333 This game has been so much fun!!
(from this ask game)
the character everyone gets wrong
Answered on my other ones!!! (This one is just. Important, obviously hahahah) Copying it here:
TBH? Most interpretations of Maruki. He's honestly just extremely self-concerned. He's not really thinking of anyone else's perspectives when he's considering right or wrong. (Also, he's always right, anyway.) He's ignorant, has negative levels of self-esteem and looks to have others to fill the gap for both his self-perception and to validate the fragile bit of confidence in his "goodness". All of his choices were with himself and his own search for meaning and self-confidence in mind in first place. So, seeing him as some misunderstood guy with a heart of gold who made bad decisions is not correct, but also seeing him as some evil manipulator is also kinda... Too extreme.
2. a compelling argument for why your fave would never top or bottom
This is a hilarious question. Goro Akechi would never bottom because that is too vulnerable of a position and he would never be caught dead slipping. This is fine by Akiren because "sure, ok, whatever you want, but, uh, stop stalling"
(Copying this one, too, from my other post!!)
Honestly I can't stand so many Akiren fanon interpretations because I'm a massive Hater. There's this specific type of Akiren I see all the time that is just... "wet paper bag" and I think it's the way people write the differences between Akiren and Goro that kind of boils down to emotionally intelligent vs emotionally constipated and instead of it coming across as being more in-tune with himself (which is at times a debatable concept to begin with), it ends up being like... extremely emotional over very benign things comparatively to how stoic and coolheaded he manages to present under pressure and around others. I'm honestly of the opinion that both of them are way more comfortable with showing anger than any other "negative"/"uncomfortable" emotion IF they'd show a feeling in such extremes (around others) to begin with. Ofc nuances aside: basically I just hate big wet shojo heartbreak tears Akiren (being denied his own agency and ability to take charge of his own life? what were the games themes again???) put on repeat constantly in the same fic lol. Like, let's have some moderation here it's losing the impact.
22. your favorite part of canon that everyone else ignores
LETS GET PERSONA 4 WITH IT.
The fact that Naoto is willing to kill a guy in one of the bad endings. Can we talk about this? Like, Naoto is not the unbiased/unfaltering arbiter of justice and equity. None of the justice arcana are TRULY neutral characters who know right and wrong-- they're impulsive, biased, and honestly vengeful. Naoto's just the best one at keeping it together, normally.
25. common fandom complaint that you're sick of hearing
My god. If I see one more person act like having strict top/bottom dynamics is the average experience and everyone should tag and label accordingly is a standard expectation I will blow up in my seat. The yaoi in my head is arguing for dominance and whatever happens on paper is simply not my decision nor black and white enough for a tag.
