Okay, I'm typing on my phone and it's been A Week so expect a lot of rambling and spelling mistakes and gaps between posts but here we go - GIGATHREAD: Who is Leana? What the fuck is going on? Aren't you worried about the metaphysical ramifications of becoming even hotter? etc

Let's pretend like it's one of those fun days in elementary school and start with a video. A year ago I thought there were perfectly cis reasons why I had this one scene from Persona 5 bookmarked and watched it dozens of times and cried every time.

Clearly there were not. I did it because it's me. Every word Makoto and Johanna say in this are speaking so directly and unambiguously to my reality that it was during another viewing of this very scene that I finally admitted to myself I am not, nor have I ever been, An Dude.

That's what the mask avatar was about and congrats to those of you who figured it out early.

Let's back up though. A few months ago noted twitter jerk and person who is irritatingly right about everything @RowanKaiser posted some stuff about depersonalization that caught my eye.
