GOD you can tell i love persona 5 with the sacrifice im making

anyway im rewatching it since the beginning is my favorite i promise ill keep everything in one thread this time

first thing i notice is that igor says "they were referred to as tricksters," as in plural, but then he refers to joker as "THE" trickster. hm.

remember when i said the beginning was DEFINITELY staged and/or planned? i was right. LOOK at this. he isnt THAT dumb

i dont think theyre in a palace so that either means the distortions have gotten so bad they scaled through reality or idk some magic shit. i have no clue. but i Dont think its a palace.

"you still have something you need to do as a phantom thief dont you?" and then a "dont die" good bye following it. hm. im telling u. its all PLANNED. why ELSE would this all fit so PERFECTLY

listen i CONSTANTLY think about how hes fuckin. essentially tortured. all i wish for.

the "mysterious voice" sounds like justine but i dont know if thats correct or not

everyone, upon meeting ren: youre the delinquent kid? but youre baby

sojiro goes from "dont be an asshole, ill kick ur ass out" to "I Cant Believe I Actually Want To Be Your Guardian Now" and we love that

okay listen. if tricksters are people who fight against shit n change the distortion n stuff then why is joker the ONLY one whos a trickster? none of the others even know what that is, or what the velvet room is. hm.

OH MY GOD I DIDNT REALIZE BUT THEY LET REN GO TO THEIR SCHOOL BC THEY WANTED STUDENTS TO STOP TALKING ABOUT KAMOSHIDA,,,, O H

ren getting his persona for the first time is probably my favorite, along w yusuke. its just. so awesome. he EXPLODES into FIRE

when kawakami says "you havent dyed your hair back to black" is she trying to tell me ryuji's hair is dyed

god i love the beginning so much. the drama of it all.

why do ann and ryuji get away with messing w their uniform. i dont know what their uniform code is but id have been sent to detention already w what theyre doing

ren. literally why are you so dramatic. whats with the evil laugh. the poses. the Blood Lust in your eyes. how do you know how to use a gun. are you okay.

i love how this game REALLY makes you hate these villains. like. REALLY.

as i am this close to going to sleep last twt of the night: ryuji's transformation is ALSO badass.

hello there

god i love this idiot. this absolute buffoon.

i LOVE how you can see other characters in the bg sometimes. i never noticed!! its so cool just. seeing makoto or ak*chi in the bg of the game

ren i love you but why do you run like that

kamoshida i would kill you if i could. i would end ur life. im not ryuji and have no sympathy in my body for your bitch ass. i can and will kill you.

hey ok forget about his run ren why do you act like that when you become joker. are you okay. why doesnt anyone say anything about it. does ryuji and ann just see you acting unhinged and just go "yeah hes like that sometimes"

everyone: wonder how we got this app. wonder whats goin on w all this stuff.
ren, who Knows: yeah. weird isnt it.

daily i love ren tweet. nothing happened this time i just love him.

ryuji ann and morgana all have a reason to be here but ren's just kinda. "im here i guess?" and then is tortured for it.

"lets go to a safer spot" and then go to the subway full of people. apakkdnskamaln???

sojiro's "i was hoping i got to name him" is. so fucking FUNNY.

enhance

ryuji is so sweet :( he calms down the second ann mentions shiho and visiting her in the hospital like hes so :(((((

you know that tumblr post abt the rat and "i hate new york city"? ren

ryuji is mad all the time and i love him. one (1) angry boy. love u.

slams fist on table i just want to be able to play persona 5r for myself. nintendo when.

sometimes family is you, a talking cat, and the old man looking after your probation who eventually ends up as a surrogate father.

anyways genderfluid ace ren. ann is a lesbian. yusuke is nb and aroace. im going to make all of them queer*.

*not including ak*chi, who is heterosexual.

i think this game would be better if ren had piercings and also if yusuke was allowed to be his roommate. thats all i want.

so whos the guy who pissed sojiro off before you get his card? he seems like an ass if sojiro dont like him.

"ladies love a guy who knows his coffee. that isnt such a bad deal for you" yes it is hes gay

sojiro no offense but LITERALLY who lives w you. its not a wife/gf bc you arent nearly heterosexual enough and theres no hints about it. a kid?? a pet?? roommate?????

no offense ms chouno but i can assure you nobody who speaks english as their first language knows what an idiom is.

forbiddan morgana lore: he knows german

i want to draw,,, ren in boyfriend jacket,,,,

i think theyre the same height but ryuji's jacket also looks big on him so. it would fit ren. and thats all that matters.

i CONSTANTLY think about the interaction ren has w the bald guy. like literally what does any of that mean. he gets light headed just by SEEING him. what???? wkanwknw??? the guy mustve been too drunk to remember ren too but??? literally???????

ann at the buffet is LITERALLY me and also i love her. shes such a treasure. i love her so god damn much.

i hate how all the game ive seen so far is "where do we fit in? do we have anywhere to go?" and i hate how i relate

i see u

ren hasnt given sae any names EXCEPT for makoto so far... which is strange. hes most likely referring to his partners by their code names yeah? so why mention makoto's name? whats ur god damn plan joker

CRIES HIS HEARTS A PRISON AND THE PHYSICAL SHAPE IT TAKES IS A PRISON THAT SHACKLES HIM TO THE GROUND

his hearts a prison,,,, his hearts a Prison,,, HIS HEARTS,,, A PRISON,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

makoto: *is on screen*
me: wow i love you wow i love you wow i love you wow i love you wow i love you wow i love you wow i love you wow i love you wow i love you wow i love you wow i love you wow i love you wow i love you wow i love you wow i love you wow i love you wow i love yo

the idea that english is a seperate class from literature is so strange to me bc. we never actually Learned english. we learned what words mean and were yelled at when we used them wrong and then when we knew where periods went we moved on to reading shakespeare n shit. whack.

morgana was having a whole tantrum when he met jose huh

i love this picture so much, its so cute

rens little "yes!" when he makes coffee

me too man :///

i love ryuji bc he can stay stuff like "whats bonkin" and "motherfucker" and itd still make me cry

i love just!!! everything abt their friendship!! ren actually laughs w ryuji!! ann feels safe enough to go to them w her problems!! ryuji is actually trying to do better in school because of them!! im literally going to cry !!!

man itd be REALLY fucking funny if maruki ended up like. bad.

personally i think his act is so dramatic like. have never met anyone that acted like that and i. am gay. we're dramatic. maruki is fake dramatic. i am thinking.

im actually going to think forever abt the fact that its "mandatory" for councelling and yet they were never told this by any adults actually in charge. not to mention nobody else mentions the sessions. mishima, any of the volleyball team, etc etc

plus if he's knowledgable of their mental issues and their insecurities,,,

the faculty: yeah its required for ppl involved w kamoshida to go :)
ppl actually involved, not having known this: what

why does he only drink juice boxes. like whats the point of making someone else something to drink and then. drinkin a juice box for urself. what if i wanted a juice box too. rude.

thanks its the trauma

do any of these kids look cishet to you

unrealistic that tha phantom thieves groupchat doesnt have ppl hanging thr gc name at all times. do you tuink ryuji could stop himself from naming it "gay bitches & morgana"? no.

god ur dramatic. i love you.

anyway the guy in the black mask is definitely the one whos causing the ppl to lose their minds right. has no doubts.

igor has no way of knowing who the other persona user is but he DOES know who ren is. which means ren is still the only ""trickster."" thinking.

in persona 5 the use of "masks" in the metaverse are used to show a persons true heart when they rip them off. even if he is awake at the time, ren appears in the velvet room, with his glasses off, therefore implying that his glasses are a type of mask. in this essay i will

gay

still dont know who u are but ur the love of my life now

so we all agree that kasumi's phone not working a lot is gonna come back and bite us in the ass later right

takemi just. "go run five kilometers in hot weather with allergies and also in ur school uniform. im going to check cnn dw dw."

i hate you. youre a bastard. an evil bitch. you could be a murderer and i wouldnt be surprised.

on the other hand i love you makoto. id die for you. like give me a sec.

ren's eyes look so empty in the art where he's hurt... what did they do to him...

also. also. im just SAYING. its so god damn interesting that they make it VERY clear that ren didnt tell sae of anyone elses names EXCEPT for makoto. she's been trying to get names out for a long time, even sojiro's or his teachers, and yet the only one he mentions is makoto...

wow i cant believe ryuji asks ren out on a date for celebration after they finished their first job. anyway.

in 27 hours of this game and like 4 months ive only seen ren laugh twice and both times were with ryuji.

i swear if the "kasumi isnt responding" comes back later ill cry like this isnt FUNNY

idk what it is but ak*chi makes me want to vomit and also kill him

"ive finally found a place where i belong"

i think i understand why he's only mentioned makoto now. sae is an asshole but she clearly loves her sister. are they trying to get to her? she mustve gotten too close to them before he was caught, right? bc if it WAS an accident, the others wouldve been caught too... but...

OK WAIT NO THERES A VERY BIG IMPORTANCE OF HIM GETTING SAE AS A CONFIDANT WAIT

sae the "prosecutor" is the judgement card, which is just as it says, judgement, and also meaning both rebirth and second chances, as well as things along the lines of "youre going to get whats coming to you"

literally all i can think about is second chances. judgement. if the plan was to get ren caught bc he was sold out then who else to let judge their case than makoto's sister, as well as someone who's heart basically has a strong connection to second chances and karma...

im sorry can you. can you repeat that.

the siu director talks like how a manipulator/abuser would but hes also mentioning a lot of things. the person hes talking to CLEARLY hates the phantom thieves and wants them gone, and isnt afraid of getting their hands dirty. they both know abt the metaverse, as well as how

the mental shutdowns are occurring from there. its also important to note they havent given a single name for the director so he could be related to someone we know. we also know that he's connected to the principal at shujin, sae, and POSSIBLY ak*chi. hm. hm hm hm.

ITS YOU ITS SYOU ITS HOY ITS YOU ITS YOU ITS YOu ITS SHYlU!!!!!!

im going to forever think abt the concept of masks being used to hide your "true form" and tearing them off being what reveals it. ive already concluded that glasses are a type... but what about when youre hiding behind something else? hair, or a... persona, if you will...

only kind of depressed now so i started watching again after i got over my anxiety over whatevers gonna happen next. anyway times where ryuji asked ren on a date p.2

is this futaba? did she want someone to change her heart for her?

also ft:

dont you DARE slander sojiro or i will kill you
