[OOC, for those I interact with often enough, more or less daily on places over in Discord, I would say I know how to be serious when I need to be... but I delight in being anything but whenever and as much as possible. I do enjoy small talk to an... average amount - I'm not exactly hyperactive but I've learned to habitually check in with people regularly enough where I don't think I qualify for 'antisocial' or 'introverted' if ever I did. That said, a large amount of my OOC interactions, when not dedicated to things like games or media held in common with those I talk to regularly, often circles back to RP one way or another, especially plotting and world-building discussions. As for befriending my RP partners, I would say I am eager overall, but I tend to remain at least a little cautious at first until I get a better feel for someone - both to avoid over-extending awkwardly and to keep my own expectations in check. A few bad experiences over the last few years have not helped, but have yet to fully douse my enthusiasm and optimism towards this Hobby and the people I meet through it, since a lot of my friends are also RP mutuals and vice-versa for many years now. That said, if you're reading this and want to talk to me more OOC and see about befriending me? As long as you're a mutual on here, ask for my Discord and we'll see how things go - I'm far more reachable there than I am here for OOC things!]

"Mason..." Harmony mutters against the pillow. "I...I wish you were here."

I agree with this but if we should extend the other Persona guys into this group too - Yosuke, Junpei and even Kanji got abused a little for ‘comedy’.  Those are just the guys I’m thinking of, off the top of my head.  In an ideal world, this trope wouldn’t be as common as it is.  I know I’m probably overthinking the comedy part and I’m sure cultural differences also play into this, but abusing someone who has suffered from a history of physical abuse for ‘comedy’ has always kind of rubbed me the wrong way.  In general, I feel like a lot of Ryuji’s past abuse was kind of brushed under the rug, but maybe that’s just me.

tyvm for the suggestion!!  i’m not bothered enough to go theme hunting, it’s just really outside my comfort zone to install one.  however, if there ever arise legitimate problems ( i.e. from an accessibility standpoint ) with using the default theme, i’ll keep this in mind!  for now though, i’m not really worried.  so long as the theme works i’m keeping it as-is outside of a few potential cosmetic changes should i fancy new art more than tobi’s cipher cards.
