Like, Where The Hell Did Grey Pigeon Come From?

Akechi takes a lot of inspiration from Black Condor, who is, directly taken from his wiki page, a “confrontational and obnoxious loner who hates being ordered around.” He's the bad boy archetype, he cheats and gambles and is a bit of a womanizer. also, he plays pool and loves jazz. I mean... fuck, Condor even comes back from the dead like Akechi does in 3rd semester, though it is admittedly entirely different means and wants, but That's Black Condors Influence!!!

And, In Base P5, you just have to assume Akechi is Black Falcon. He doesn't have a featherman costume or anything, all we have is what the game tells us. Black Falcon (In Neo Featherman Again) is established to be a traitor, and that's all we have to go off.

But they doubled down on the Black Condor-isms in Royal, only to make him GREY PIGEON? I mean, the Featherman Seeker game that Grey Pigeon comes from is directly referencing Akechi’s life, including Shido’s goons, and Wakaba Isshiki, and his eventual sacrifice. Who The Hell Is Grey Pigeon?

The pigeon part here is easy to decipher. Pigeons are well known for being abandoned once they no longer had a use, and nowadays are widely considered scum or parasites. And the archetype around Silver Rangers is the same as any other sixth ranger, theyre an outlier in some way and have a different goal from the rest of the team, which fits Akechi Fine.

But he isn't Silver Pigeon, he's Grey. At first i thought i was reading waaay to much into it and assumed this was for the naming scheme. Like, we're all normal colours and here comes akechi's fancy silver ass, but actually I think. I think it's a reference to Jetman again?

It's finally time to reveal art I've been working on for the past couple months! My half of a collab with

@ladycassandrina for this year's Ryuji Bonk!

AND OF COURSE WE'D DO SOMETHING TOKU-RELATED!

I had a lot of fun working on something Featherman related of all things and Cass LOCKED IN with her fic!

I hope you'll give it a read if my poster has grabbed your attention! ✨

Considering I'm trying to give each character one MAIN main outfit, I'm having a hard time picking Yukari's. Honestly I dont want to go for her regular pick sweater thing. A. Because its far too similar to Haru from Persona 5's, and I cant help but want to pick that for Haru (Though I do have a sceond place pick if I change my mind) and B. Because her SEES team uniform sort of incorporates that into it, so I may as well be different with it. That being said, I'm honestly having a hard time deciding.

Obviously, like with Yosuke in Persona 4 (I'll get back to those eventually, obviously) I can always Mix n Match elements to create my own ultimate main outfit. But like I said, in general I cant decide, SO, if anyone has any opinions I'll be glad to hear them. I made these reference images from an emulation of the VITA version of Persona 3 Dancing, so apologies for the quality. I'm also including pictures of the "regular" versions of these outfits where I can, without the hair thingy. I wanted to draw her with something like that though, because its cute and I think it suits her.

Anyways~! The options are:

"Memento Mori"

I dont have an alternative reference for this one, sorry. Also, because I'm simplifying things, text is generally a no-go, unless its extremely short. So it wont actually say "Memento Mori" -- Just the blue with the moon (a white circle)
