I am endlessly fascinated by the existence of the Persona stage plays. Like, I have seen some of the most unhinged shit from those. I have never been able to find the stage plays in full, only in clips and single frames. None of them have any actual Persona's in them. I know there is one instance where Ken goes to summon his because he is drawing his evoker in the clip. But it never reaches the point where he actually uses the evoker because the clip was focused on Jin beating the shit out of Akihiko. I'm not even certain they're completely real and that they're not something I imagined seeing.

#persona 3 the weird masquerade is like genuinely fantastic #there are 5 acts the first 2 had the same writer as the movies hence their similarities #there are also a femc version of all of them kens actor is also different #theyre also musicals #theyre 2.5d which means there are screens behind #thats how the personas work - theyre just shown on the screen #theyre all on youtube the first act fansubbed but really low quality #theres high quality worldwide streaming on i think theatre complex? something like that #i dont know as much about the others but there are p4 p4arena and p5 ones

P3M MAKOTO YUKI MISCONCEPTIONS

To be honest, it kind of annoys me when people watch the persona 3 movies and come away with it with the wrong idea of what Makotos character is in them. I don't mean the people who don't like the movies or their portrayal of him. It's fine if you don't, btw. Media is subjective, and different people will take away different things from the same thing, but I feel like some people end up completely missing the mark and mischaractizing that version of him.

For all the odd choices the p3 movies make, I'm adamant that his character and his arc is the best part about them, so it kind of urks me when i see tharpeople take away from it is that 'he's emotionless and devoid of personality' or 'a complete asshole who doesn't care about anything' both of which is untrue in all the films.

CW: blood in one of the images (the car accident scene, it just shows the hand but still)

First of all, the whole him being 'rude and uncaring' thing; To be honest, nothing he says strikes me as rude, it all comes off as blunt and not fitting the situation (him asking if they can leave during the hospital scene, and his answer seemingly having no sympathy when they talk to Natsuki). Of course to those who don't know him that well, he comes off as cold especially since his facial expression or tone barely change.

And the uncaring bit continues to get debunked through every film. Even in the first film, where he's closed himself off and doesn't care about living. He awakens to his persona to protect Yukari, he helps Fuuka collect her stuff twice despite not knowing her and even listens to her talk about Natsuki, he summons a different persona and throws himself at the Priestess to save Junpei. He goes against what he was told to do and goes straight into Tartarus because of the fear that his team will die if he doesn't.

It's made clear in the first movie that despite avoiding connections with people, he still can't let people die, deep down he cares about those around him getting hurt and wants to prevent that. It seems to heavily be rooted by his PTSD of the accident, him getting flashbacks to it in both the second and third full moon at the thought of someone dying. He's willing to throw himself in danger, not giving up even if he gets hurt or could exhaust himself, he has no care about his life, but he still cares about those around him.

The only claim I could see holding weight is the 'no personality' part but that's mainly because he spends half of the first film following orders from other people, but that itself can be seen as part of him, he doesn't have any direction or any care about his life so he follows what everyone tells and wants from him. He fights because he was told hed make a great asset to the team, he stays behind because him going would make Yukari mad, he has no reason not to listen or any argument to refute it, and this is dismantled near the end where he refuses to listen when they tell him to run because he can't let anyone die.

This is all I've gathered from the first movie still, I could carry on for all of them (and there is alot to talk about in each one in regards to his character) but I think I've made my point. Not only does they continue to prove those points incorrect, his character continues to evolve with the events around him.

I don't think there's a right or wrong way to write or portray makoto. The movies are not the be- all-all-end all of his characterization, but when you're talking about or writing that specific version of him, just don't end up writing him in a way that completely contradicts what the film shows.

#p3 #i dont get how people misunderstand him its quite in your face about it #i think it must come from how makoto doesnt align with peoples interpretations of hero and thus must be 'bad' #theres also a lot to say about makotos activeness in the story #especially when comparing to hero or even minato #due to the nature of a game hero can be colourless and vague #things dont really happen bacause of him but instead to him #and he doesnt need to react because the player reacts for him as a self insert #taking that character out of a game and into other media wont work #he needs a more defined character and to be more active unless hell be boring and feel like hes just along for the ride #and makoto does that #hes not trying to be hero - based on an interpretation of him but theres still a lot of new things

望月綾時のマフラーの素材は何?

自分の身長以上はあろうかという、非常に長い黃色のマフラーがトレードマークとなっている望月綾時。では、このマフラーの素材は何なのだろうか。

綾時のマフラーは非常に薄手であり、垂らしている様や風にたなびく様を見るに、材質的には非常になめらかで柔らかいもの反使用している=とがわかる。このことから、素材は、カシミヤなどの上質なものであることが推察できる。

ここで、綾時と同じくマフラーを身に付けている女主人公の冬服を見てみよう。その名は「アンゴラニット」。つまり、女主人公の服 (及びこフラー) の素材はアンゴラなのだ。「アンゴラ」 とは上質な毛糸で、柔らかくなめらかな素材であり、綾時のマフラーの素材を考察するうえでも候補に挙げられるものである。

同時に、綾時のキャラクター性を考えてみよう。綾時は10年前から主人公の中にいた “死神い” のシャドウ 「デス」 である。その10年で綾時 (デス) と主人公の間には、強いつながりが出来たのだ。そのつながりの強さは綾時として出現した当初、記憶を失っていたにもかかわらず、本能的に主人公を 「大切な人」 と認識したことからもうかがえるだろう。そして、その気持ちは身につける衣服にも現れたのである。綾時が人として生成された時に、最も身近に親しんだ素材を参考に形成したのではないだろうか。また、人として生成された綾時本人がマフラーを選んだのならば、強いつながりを持つ女主人公と同じような物を本能的に選んだと考えるのが自然なのである。

つまり、綾時のマフラーの素材は、女主人公の身に付けている物と同じ 「アンゴラ」 であると結論づけられるのだ。

結論 アンゴラ

Edogawa's supplimentary lessons ripped from Persons 3 Reload.

[BMD_Event_Extr_350_020_C]

Mr. Edogawa: What brings you to the nurse's office? Eeeheehee… Ahhh, you've come for a supplementary lesson…? You're quite the promising pupil. Perhaps this one may even… Ah, pay no mind to the mutterings of a kindly nurse… Eeeheehee…

Mr. Edogawa: I must ask… You wouldn't happen to have your own deck of tarot cards? Don't lie… I can smell them on you. Do you consult them regularly? If you own a deck and you don't use it, it's a shameful waste! …Though while we're on the subject, how about a detailed lesson on the use of the tarot? I warn you, it's a complicated subject, and will take some time… Do you want to hear it?

{I'd like to hear it.}

{No thanks.}

Mr. Edogawa: Very well, then. Your fate is sealed… Eeeheehee… Today we will examine the most common use of the tarot, reading one's fate… Or as it's more commonly known, fortune telling. For now, let's keep to the simple one-card spread, where you draw and interpret a single card. It will suffice for learning the basic methods of the tarot.

Mr. Edogawa: Now, a quick word on the deck… For the best results, you'll want to use all 78 cards. But for today's explanation, we'll limit ourselves to the 22 Major Arcana. The procedure for telling fortunes via the tarot goes like so: shuffle, cut, spread, and read. That means mixing them all up, putting them in a pile, lining up the drawn cards, and examining them.
When I say "spread," I refer to how they will be presented. It's a concept I'll come back to several times.

Mr. Edogawa: …Ah, I nearly forgot about the necessary preparation before handling the cards. Before one begins a tarot reading, one's mind must be calm. Try to simultaneously unify and relax your consciousness. You must also stay focused on the goal of your reading, to avoid wishful thinking clouding the result.

Mr. Edogawa: Once you're relaxed, we'll begin. Place the cards facedown on the table to hide their images… Then the client of the reading will shuffle, or mix, the cards. If you're reading your own fortune, then you perform this step yourself. The most common method is to spread them on the table, mixing them in a circular motion with your left hand. The left hand is the agent of the subconscious mind, you see. Eeeheehee… Though if you're clumsy, or have lost a hand, or what have you, you can use either or both hands. It all depends. When the client is satisfied, make a single pile, and thus complete the shuffling phase. …And by "pile," I mean a neat, orderly stack.

Mr. Edogawa: Now, on to cutting the deck. Split the stack you've made into three piles, each roughly the same height. Normally the client also performs the cut, but the fortune-teller is free to perform this step as well. Just allow the spirit to move you. It may be your own feelings, and it may be occult inspiration… Reorganize the three piles in the order of your choosing, and combine them into one pile again. Once this is complete, the reader should take the pile. Be very careful during this step. You must preserve the direction the cards originally faced. If the client is someone else, turn the pile so the cards face the same direction that they were to you.

Mr. Edogawa: And now, it's finally time to draw a card. This is the spread phase. We're doing a one-card spread, so turn over the top card, and place it on the field to the side. In some methods, you specify which card from the top… But that's a topic for another time. The card on the field provides the answer to the client's question. Now, at last, the reading phase. First, we must understand the card's meaning. What the card represents depends on if it's reversed or not… You do remember that much, yes? There are a few exceptions, but in general, a reversed card is negative, and has a different meaning. Once you understand the meaning of the card drawn, apply it to your question… Let inspiration rise to the surface of your mind, and… well… Form a story around it! I'll say it once more: develop your story around it! A story, I say! A story! Your story! Our€ *ahem* *ahem* Excuse me… I went too far.

Mr. Edogawa: Regardless, simply telling the client the card's meaning isn't considered a true reading. Using the clue derived from the card, the reader must use their inspiration to look into the client's future. It's important to converse with the client as well, to assist with your divinations. Tarot is both a skill of reading the cards and reading people… Hmm, perhaps I should save this for posterity. …What's that? Each card's meaning? Didn't I hand out notes on that before? If you've lost them, you're on your own… Research that information on your own time.

Mr. Edogawa: Well, I think that's enough of an explanation for today… Oh yes, one more thing. Always seal your inspiration after the fortune has been told. Say farewell to the cards, for instance, or imagine cocooning yourself in a sleeping bag. If you don't seal your inspiration, it may draw unwanted attention…

Mr. Edogawa: Whew… Talking so much at once is quite draining. Since you've been taking your studies so seriously, here's a little something. Take it, and off you go.

Mr. Edogawa: Well then… Shall we continue where we left off last time? I have a lot to cover, so I hope you're prepared.

{I'm prepared.}

{No thanks.}

Mr. Edogawa: I like your spirit! We've covered the fundamentals, so now I'll teach you how to use all 78 Major and Minor Arcana… Let's talk about the basic spread, shall we? To review, the tarot is made of 22 Major Arcana and 56 Minor Arcana… For a total of 78 cards. Is that clear? Each card has its own inherent meaning. Many are daunted by the full deck, because of the sheer amount of cards… but take heart! It is difficult to learn all the meanings, but having them all actually makes your reading easier. The more details one has available, the easier it is to craft a story…

Mr. Edogawa: I already explained the Major Arcana, so let me give you an outline of the Minor Arcana. The Minor Arcana are divided into four classes, called suits. Do you recall when I told you that this is what common playing cards were modeled after? The Wands, Cups, Swords, and Coins correspond to Clubs, Hearts, Spades, and Diamonds. Each suit has 10 numbered cards, ranging from Ace to 10… As well as four face cards €King, Queen, Knight, and Page€ unlike the three face cards in common decks. The Page is sometimes called Prince, though he's essentially a knight in training. The four face cards are called court cards. That term will come up again, so remember it well. There are 14 types in total, between the pip cards or number cards, and the face or court cards. These 14 types have four cards each, for a total of 56 cards in the Minor Arcana.

Mr. Edogawa: And now you know the makeup of the Minor Arcana. As for how to use them in a reading… It's actually the same as the Major Arcana. Keep in mind the meaning of each card and the direction it faces, and use your inspiration to create a story. In the Minor Arcana, each suit, number, and court type has its own meaning. One of the best ways to memorize these is to imagine them in a 4-by-14 grid.

Mr. Edogawa: And now, each of the four suits' meanings, in brief… Wands for planning and growth, Cups for love and sentiment, Swords for trials, and Coins for wealth. As for the basic meaning of each of the numbered cards… Ace is the beginning, 2 is balance, 3 is growth, 4 is stability, 5 is change, 6 is balance again… 7 is a new start, 8 is success, 9 is attainment, and 10 marks a terminus, or the end. Court cards represent people and their strengths. It could be the client, or other people involved. The Page represents children, and the offering of knowledge. The Knight is youth and boundless energy. The Queen represents adult women, while the King represents mature men. It's said that to grasp the meaning of the cards, it's important to communicate with them…

Mr. Edogawa: Now then, let's move on to the method of using the full Arcana to tell fortunes. The basic procedure is the same… You'll just be using more cards. Even with the full deck of 78, you must first shuffle, then cut, spread, and read. The type of spread you use affects the procedure more than the number of cards in use. Don't get me wrong… The spread I'll be covering is done with this procedure, too.

Mr. Edogawa: Now, for a change of subject… I'll explain the various types of spreads. Last time we used the one-card spread, so today we'll examine the other typical spreads. First, remember that the spread is chosen according to the nature of the question. Do you want an answer to a single question? Or maybe an overview of the general future? Use the spread that best fits the request you have in mind. For example, if you want to tell the client's past, present, and future… Why not use a three-card spread, where you simply lay out three cards? Adding a card produces the four-card spread, identifying the past, present, nature of the problem, and future. If you use the seven-card hexagram spread, with a single card placed in the center of a hexagon… You can read both the nature of the problem and a countermeasure against it.

Mr. Edogawa: There is also a spread called Question and Answer, involving two choices. This reading is done by setting two countermeasures against the question.

Mr. Edogawa: Finally, the most well-known spread is the classic Celtic Cross. It's suited to telling fortunes with only the Major Arcana, and is used often by both beginners and experts. Arrange two cards crossing each other in the center, then one more on all four sides of the cross… Then, place a pillar of four cards, known as the Spear of Destiny, next to it to the right. The cross of six cards represents the overall situation, with the four to the right making it concrete. gain, this forms the 10-card spread known as the Celtic Cross.

Mr. Edogawa: There are other spreads, like the Horseshoe, Witch's Diamond, or the Seven Candles of Life…
And I've also heard rumors of so-called normal, triangle, and cross spreads. There are far too many for me to teach you, so you can look into it yourself if you're interested.

Mr. Edogawa: Whew… I believe it's time for my afternoon tea. That's it for today. Here, take this and off you go.

Mr. Edogawa: Hmm, I feel like killing some time with a nice, meaty lecture about the tarot… How about it? Up for another mammoth lecture? Eeeheehee…

{I'm up for it.}

{No thanks.}

Mr. Edogawa: Then you're an uncommonly bored student! It's a wise use of your time, though. Eeeheehee… Today, we'll talk about a slightly advanced way of reading the tarot.

Mr. Edogawa: I want to explain how to lower the probability of external factors, while being able to foresee a more solid future. Basically, it's a way to combine the power of tarot with other precognitive methods.

Mr. Edogawa: The result is kind of a compound method of telling fortunes. The most well-known fusion with tarot is astrology. For example, there's the almost self-explanatory Horoscope Spread.

Mr. Edogawa: After shuffling and cutting the full deck of 78… Spread them in a circle consisting of 12 cards, then place one more in the center. The 12 in the outer circle correspond directly to the 12 signs of the zodiac, also known as Houses. Each House shows an answer to a different problem, such as family and work, marriage, friendship, and money. The card in the center represents your overall fortune. This spread has a variety of uses, since you can gain an overall understanding of life.

Mr. Edogawa: Ah, yes€: I forgot to mention the significator. It's used by those more accustomed to reading the tarot, but… Before shuffling, you choose one card that best fits the client's image and place it on the field. This is the significator. It's very effective in heightening the client's inspiration. Do you remember the court, or face, cards? The significator is selected from the Minor Arcana face cards. For a high schooler, the Page card would be best. For an adult, the Knight, King, or Queen would do it. More experienced readers may use one of the Major Arcana, but the court cards are suitable most of the time.

Mr. Edogawa: Now, back to ways of fusing the tarot with other fortune-telling methods… An even more advanced application would be to use it in conjunction with dowsing. That would be using a pendulum to find what you're looking for. Make a number of piles, with the cards facedown of course, and perform the dowsing ritual on them. If the client's significator is found in the selected pile, you continue with the reading. If not, try again until you do. This is to confirm that your inspiration has been heightened.

Mr. Edogawa: Let's see, what else…? Some elementary understanding of Hermetic Qabalah may be in order first. The spread based on the shape of the Qabalistic tree of life is another well-known method. It's a spread where you distribute the cards according to the ten trees of life, or the Sefirot. However, to actually put this method into practice, one needs a deep understanding of Qabalah. Not only do the positions of the cards have meaning, but the lines or paths connecting them do as well.

Mr. Edogawa: For example, Chokmah, Chesed, and Netzach on the right represent the conscious… While Binah, Gevurah, and Hod on the left represent the unconscious. The balance in between them is represented by the paths of Keter, Tiferet, Yesod, and Malkuth. Proximity to Keter at the top reveals the spiritual side, with Malkuth on the bottom showing the bodily side.

Mr. Edogawa: Hmm… Yes, I'm afraid it's much too esoteric to fully explain. It has depths one cannot begin to guess at. I, too, have learned something by telling you all this€: bringing out hidden knowledge is not easy.

Mr. Edogawa: Thus, that concludes the lecture. Thanks for paying attention. Well, 

if you ever want to hear it again, I won't mind giving you a little refresher course next time

. Eeeheehee… Here's the usual€ gift for you, O studious one.

Mr. Edogawa: I see… Then let's not waste one another's time, hmm? I don't need ditching students in my office. Out you go, shoo!

[BMD_Event_Extr_350_030_C]

Mr. Edogawa: What brings you to the nurse's office? Eeeheehee… My, you want another of my supplementary lessons? You are the quintessential student… Or, could it be…? Ah, don't worry, I was just talking to myself. So, what do you want to review?

{Tarot procedure}

Mr. Edogawa: Well then, I'll tell you once again about the procedure for a standard tarot reading. For now, let's keep to the simple one-card spread, where you draw and interpret a single card. It will suffice for learning the basic methods of the tarot.

Mr. Edogawa: Now, a quick word on the deck… For the best results, you'll want to use all 78 cards. But for this explanation, we'll limit ourselves to the 22 Major Arcana. The procedure for telling fortunes via the tarot goes like so: shuffle, cut, spread, and read. That means mixing them all up, putting them in a pile, lining up the drawn cards, and examining them.

Mr. Edogawa: When I say "spread," I refer to how they will be presented. It's a concept I'll come back to several times. …Ah, I nearly forgot about the necessary preparation before handling the cards. Before one begins a tarot reading, one's mind must be calm. Try to simultaneously unify and relax your consciousness.

Mr. Edogawa: You must also stay focused on the goal of your reading, to avoid wishful thinking clouding the result. Once you're relaxed, we'll begin. Place the cards facedown on the table to hide their images… Then the client of the reading will shuffle, or mix, the cards. If you're reading your own fortune, then you perform this step yourself.

Mr. Edogawa: The most common method is to spread them on the table, mixing them in a circular motion with your left hand. The left hand is the agent of the subconscious mind, you see. Eeeheehee… Though if you're clumsy, or have lost a hand, or what have you, you can use either or both hands. It all depends. When the client is satisfied, make a single pile, and thus complete the shuffling phase. A "pile" meaning a neat, orderly stack. You remember this, don't you?

Mr. Edogawa: Now, on to cutting the deck. Split the stack you've made into three piles, each roughly the same height. Normally the client also performs the cut, but the fortune-teller is free to perform this step as well. Just allow the spirit to move you. It may be your own feelings, and it may be occult inspiration…

Mr. Edogawa: Reorganize the three piles in the order of your choosing, and combine them into one pile again. Once this is complete, the reader should take the pile. Be very careful during this step. You must preserve the direction the cards originally faced. If the client is someone else, turn the pile so the cards face the same direction that they were to you.

Mr. Edogawa: And now, it's finally time to draw a card. This is the spread phase. We're doing a one-card spread, so turn over the top card, and place it on the field to the side. In some methods, you specify which card from the top… But that's a topic for another time. The card on the field provides the answer to the client's question. Now, at last, the reading phase.

Mr. Edogawa: First, we must understand the card's meaning. What the card represents depends on if it's reversed or not… You do remember that much, yes? There are a few exceptions, but in general, a reversed card is negative, and has a different meaning.

Mr. Edogawa: Once you understand the meaning of the card drawn, apply it to your question… Let inspiration rise to the surface of your mind, and… well… Form a story around it! Regardless, simply telling the client the card's meaning isn't considered a true reading. Using the clue derived from the card, the reader must use their inspiration to look into the client's future.

Mr. Edogawa: It's important to converse with the client as well, to assist with your divinations. Tarot is about both reading the cards and reading people. As for the meaning of each card, look them up on your own time. Eeeheehee… And that's all we covered on the basic procedures of tarot readings.

Mr. Edogawa: My throat's starting to hurt, so come back later if you want to hear about another subject.

{The Arcana and basic spread}

Mr. Edogawa: I'll tell you again about how to use all 78 Major and Minor Arcana, as well as the basic spread. To review, the tarot is made of 22 Major Arcana and 56 Minor Arcana… For a total of 78 cards. Is that clear? Each card has its own inherent meaning.

Mr. Edogawa: Many are daunted by the full deck, because of the sheer amount of cards… but take heart! It is difficult to learn all the meanings, but having them all actually makes your reading easier. The more details one has available, the easier it is to craft a story…

Mr. Edogawa: I already explained the Major Arcana, so let me give you an outline of the Minor Arcana. The Minor Arcana are divided into four classes, called suits. Do you recall when I told you that this is what common playing cards were modeled after? The Wands, Cups, Swords, and Coins correspond to Clubs, Hearts, Spades, and Diamonds.

Mr. Edogawa: Each suit has 10 numbered cards, ranging from Ace to 10… As well as four face cards€ King, Queen, Knight, and Page€ unlike the three face cards in common decks. The Page is sometimes called Prince, though he's essentially a knight in training. The four face cards are called court cards. That term will come up again, so remember it well.

Mr. Edogawa: There are 14 types in total, between the pip cards or number cards, and the face or court cards. These 14 types have four cards each, for a total of 56 cards in the Minor Arcana. And now you know the makeup of the Minor Arcana. As for how to use them in a reading…

Mr. Edogawa: It's actually the same as the Major Arcana. Keep in mind the meaning of each card and the direction it faces, and use your inspiration to create a story. In the Minor Arcana, each suit, number, and court type has its own meaning. One of the best ways to memorize these is to imagine them in a 4-by-14 grid.

Mr. Edogawa: And now, each of the four suits' meanings, in brief… Wands for planning and growth, Cups for love and sentiment, Swords for trials, and Coins for wealth. As for the basic meaning of each of the numbered cards… Ace is the beginning, 2 is balance, 3 is growth, 4 is stability, 5 is change, 6 is balance again… 7 is a new start, 8 is success, 9 is attainment, and 10 marks a terminus, or the end.

Mr. Edogawa: Court cards represent people and their strengths. It could be the client, or other people involved. The Page represents children, and the offering of knowledge. The Knight is youth and boundless energy. The Queen represents adult women, while the King represents mature men. It's said that to grasp the meaning of the cards, it's important to communicate with them…

Mr. Edogawa: Now then, let's move on to the method of using the full Arcana to tell fortunes. The basic procedure is the same… You'll just be using more cards. Even with the full deck of 78, you must first shuffle, then cut, spread, and read. The type of spread you use affects the procedure more than the number of cards in use.

Mr. Edogawa: Now, for a change of subject… I'll explain the various types of spreads. First, remember that the spread is chosen according to the nature of the question. Do you want an answer to a single question? Or maybe an overview of the general future? Use the spread that best fits the request you have in mind.

Mr. Edogawa: For example, if you want to tell the client's past, present, and future… Why not use a three-card spread, where you simply lay out three cards? Adding a card produces the four-card spread, identifying the past, present, nature of the problem, and future. If you use the seven-card hexagram spread, with a single card placed in the center of a hexagon… You can read both the nature of the problem and a countermeasure against it.

Mr. Edogawa: There is also a spread called Question and Answer, involving two choices. This reading is done by setting two countermeasures against the question. Finally, the most well-known spread is the classic Celtic Cross. It's suited to telling fortunes with only the Major Arcana, and is used often by both beginners and experts.

Mr. Edogawa: Arrange two cards crossing each other in the center, then one more on all four sides of the cross… Then, place a pillar of four cards, known as the Spear of Destiny, next to it to the right. The cross of six cards represents the overall situation, with the four to the right making it concrete. Again, this forms the 10-card spread known as the Celtic Cross.

Mr. Edogawa: There are other spreads, like the Horseshoe, Witch's Diamond, or the Seven Candles of Life… And also the normal, triangle, and cross spreads. I remember telling you there were far too many types of spreads to go into detail on all of them. And that concludes my lecture on the Major and Minor Arcana, plus the basic types of spreads.

Mr. Edogawa: Pluto calls, so you'll have to ask me about the other lectures next time.

{Advanced readings}

Mr. Edogawa: Since you seem interested in hearing it again, we'll go over advanced tarot readings. Remember, it's about combining other forms of fortune telling with the tarot deck. The most well-known fusion with tarot is astrology. For example, there's the almost self-explanatory Horoscope Spread.

Mr. Edogawa: After shuffling and cutting the full deck of 78… Spread them in a circle consisting of 12 cards, then place one more in the center. The 12 in the outer circle correspond directly to the 12 signs of the zodiac, also known as Houses.

Mr. Edogawa: Each House shows an answer to a different problem, such as family and work, marriage, friendship, and money. The card in the center represents your overall fortune. This spread has a variety of uses, since you can gain an overall understanding of life.

Mr. Edogawa: Why don't we review the significator once again, too? It's used by those more accustomed to reading the tarot, but… Before shuffling, you choose one card that best fits the client's image and place it on the field. This is the significator.

Mr. Edogawa: It's very effective in heightening the client's inspiration. Do you remember the court, or face, cards? The significator is selected from the Minor Arcana face cards. For a high schooler, the Page card would be best. For an adult, the Knight, King, or Queen would do it. More experienced readers may use one of the Major Arcana, but the court cards are suitable most of the time.

Mr. Edogawa: Now, back to ways of fusing the tarot with other fortune-telling methods… An even more advanced application would be to use it in conjunction with dowsing. That would be using a pendulum to find what you're looking for.

Mr. Edogawa: Make a number of piles, with the cards facedown of course, and perform the dowsing ritual on them. If the client's significator is found in the selected pile, you continue with the reading. If not, try again until you do. This is to confirm that your inspiration has been heightened.

Mr. Edogawa: Next, some elementary understanding of the Hermetic Qabalah. The spread based on the shape of the Qabalistic tree of life is another well-known method. It's a spread where you distribute the cards according to the ten trees of life, or the Sefirot. However, to actually put this method into practice, one needs a deep understanding of Qabalah. Not only do the positions of the cards have meaning, but the lines or paths connecting them do as well.

Mr. Edogawa: For example, Chokmah, Chesed, and Netzach on the right represent the conscious… While Binah, Gevurah, and Hod on the left represent the unconscious. The balance in between them is represented by the paths of Keter, Tiferet, Yesod, and Malkuth.

Mr. Edogawa: Proximity to Keter at the top reveals the spiritual side, with Malkuth on the bottom showing the bodily side. I believe that's all we went over… And so ends our review on advanced tarot readings.

Mr. Edogawa: I have exciting business to take care of today, so ask me about the other lectures some other time.

{Never mind}

Mr. Edogawa: Ah, is that so? Then please scurry on home. I don't need ditching students in my office. Out you go, shoo!

The world is filled with beautiful light

The world is filled with wonderful love

You, and you and you, and you

I love all people

I hope you can forgive me for that

Not knowing anything isn't a bad thing

Forget about the harsh things and smile

Until the day this world ends

I hope you're happy

I love this world

This dazzling world shining world

The desire of two boys who seek their former halves

Tonight, when the moon ascends in the sky, I will reunite with part of my former self on the tower's peak. Just as time flows, and the seasons change, it's obvious that all living things are preparing to end: that is unavoidable. Though I know that, I still try to cling to a miracle that might happen. Until I witness true despair, I'm keeping a sliver of hope... Shadows are born from people's hearts. And Personas are too; they have the same nature. The only difference is if one has an intent. No matter how much of that power one may have, what would be the reson to threaten that which is the Great Mother, the root of existance? How much can a tiny, foolish child who bares their fangs at The Fall, also known as the Great Mother, Nyx, do? ...If the future is to change, it's the power of will that's the source of Personas, the heart's bonds, that will push you forward. Now, let's head to that place to fullfill our duty. I, we, have shed tears about the premonition that this day will come ever since we were one.

かつての半身を求めるふたりの少年の想い

今夜、月が天に昇るとき、かつて自分の一部であったものと、あの塔の頂で再会する。時が流れるように、季節が巡るように、生きるものがその終わりに死を控えていることは自明のことで、それを避けることなんてできなしない。それをわかってはいても、それでもなお、起こるかもしれない奇跡にすがろうとする。本当の絶望を目にするまで、一縷の望みをついでいる······。シャドウは人の心から生まれ出たものだ。そしてぺルソナもまた、それらと本質を一にするものだ。ちがうのはそこに本人の意思があるかどうかというだけ。その力をいくら振るおうとも、存在の根源、太母であるものの足元をおびやかせる道理などあるだろうか。滅びという名の大いなる母ニュクスに牙を剥くちっぽけで愚かな子供に、一体どれほどのことをできるというのか。······未来が変わるというなら、その背中を押すのはペルソナの源となる意志の力、心の絆だ。さあ、与えられた役目を果たすために、その場所を目指そう。僕は、僕たちは、ひとつだったときから、この日が来る予感に涙を流していたんだから。

#p3 #remembered this exists and tried to translate it #the only real notes i have is that the sliver of hope isnt related to nyx avatars dim hope in any way #its specifically threaten the feet/underfoot but that sounds awful so just threaten #and our duty could also be my duty #i guess seek in the first line could also be wish for #and the only thing that tells you what person its in is that i we at the end #this is from 2007 the fes official fanbook

Hi from the main! For the thing, thoughts on Junpei Iori?

Junpei!!!!

favorite thing about them: his character development!!! When I first played P3 I din't like him but there was something saying that he'd get better.... he does!!!!! I also love how in Reload he gets his new Theurgy a different time that he gets his new Persona but that's less a junpei thing and more a reload thing....

least favorite thing about them: even after Chidori he still tries to flirt..... hot springs.....

favorite line: I won't let you do this to her anymore! Uhhhh character drama cd vol 2 is really sweet there's probably something there.... I don't remember....

Damnit... this is so hard... But it's not just my life anymore.(would Akihiko's She gave you this life! Don't waste it. be cheating since it's Akihiko not Junpei?)

brOTP: he's everyone's bro. Choosing one Heroine she can't romance him even if she tries. Going from Hero's inablility to say no to this is so refreshing.

OTP: do I even need to say it

nOTP: everyone that isn't Chidori let's be honest.

random headcanon: the only cishet in SEES(affectionate)

Uhhh I could go on a rant about Personas and about how Hermes and Medea fusing is a parallel to how Orpheus and Thanatos fuse(resuscitation(song in 3 that plays when junpei summons trismegistus) and self redemption(song in 4 that plays when makoto summons thanatos) have the same tune) but that would somehow turn into p5 spoilers and how it's WILD that both Robin Hood and Loki exist when the only other examples of someone having 2 main Personas(wild cards only have 1 that acts like a regular person's persona with how it evolves the rest are shared between wild cards and change between rereleases) are the guy that had a Shadow inside him that's abscence created the Persona and a guy that had someone else give their life to him(so life and personas are in some way linked too) ESPCIALLY since they fuse together like the others end up doing(i know all p5s 3rd tier personas have their 1 and 2 fuse but they both existed at the same time and arent evolutions of each other so it doesnt fit) and was this supposed to be about Junpei?

unpopular opinion: uhhhhhhhh some people don't like him I think????

favorite picture of them: classic

https://youtube.com/watch?v=Nex-JNlkJmU(I wish I could also link his and Chidori's songs.... Junpei's actor is genuinly fantastic)

Why do all my images end up being memes here are some nice ones

Why does my post of this have so many notes

#p3 #junpei!!!! one of my favourites #all exept the pictures are off the top of my head ha

[elle-p]

Hm.. trying to give you one that others maybe haven't. Yukari for the ask game perhaps?

Yukari!!!

favorite thing about them: she's so human... she's got a lot of faults but she's also kind(this is weak I'm sorry...... i do love her....)

least favorite thing about them: uhhhh..... in her christmas eve date at the end she says that Junpei's probably spending it alone. Come on his girlfriend died that's just mean.

favorite line: that one from before the Erebus fight uhhh.... the only thing that seperates life from stillness... is that we die. That's it. When the pain of life gets too much... the thought of death can be kind of comforting, actually. (I'm sorry this is of the top of my head it might be wrong.... I do love this quote though. Worth mentioning that after Aigis says that the meaning of life is also friendship then they go share a dorm.....) Yukari has a lot of good Answer lines I could have put them all here.

brOTP: Love her relationship with Fuuka, especially with how Reload adds the scene where they ask to call each other by their firat names. She's also the one to give her the full recording of her dad.... guh Aigis too Akihiko's everyone's bro so is Junpei LOVE her frienship route in Reload she's got good interactions with everyone

OTP: yukamitsu come on

nOTP: JUNPEI.....

random headcanon: she's strong. She's an archer.

unpopular opinion: HER FRIENDSHIP ROUTE IS BETTER THAN HER ROMANCE ROUTE. I actually have a draft saying this with a comparison of her March dialogue. It's so nice.... she tells him to rely on her like how she relys on him....

favorite picture of them: promotional art for movies 2 and 4 but this is cheating everyone's here

I'm on mobile it doesn't like me but for the release of movie 2 p3m.jp released art every day. The wayback machine didn't get all of it but there's a storyboard for 1 on 24th jan 2014. There's also a really silly looking one 4th feb 2014.

This screenshot's funny

Her victory pose from original is cute... she does it in arena too

Speaking of arena

Sorry

#p3 #im so sorry for how little i had to say about favourite bits i hope brotp makes up for it i do love her

[elle-p]

hoping you haven't received this one already :]c since she's your namesake, my pick is elizabeth for the ask game !!!!!

This is long under a readmore!

favorite thing about them: she's silly!!!! I do love how in the darkness of P3 there are still characters who are so filled with joy. There's also a trend in P3 about character opposites. Her and Theodore, Hero and Heroine, Ryoji and Aigs... they all act as foils to each other and as foils to the protagonist(this is a really bad way of explaining it....).

least favorite thing about them: uhhhh.... probably her quest to save Hero. Not it as a concept, but what's come out of it. It's underused and made the fandom too divided. I also don't think there's a way for it to happen? Idk....

favorite line: Guhhhh.... I don't know many of her lines by heat.... The only thing I can think of is in the opening/her sl rank 1 of p3d in japanese she goes eeeyyyyyaaayyyyyy its paaty taiimmmeeee!!!!!!!

brOTP: AIGIS!!!!!! Her and Aigis are really underused..... WAIT ALSO RYOJI. The bisexuals who love Hero(ine) no matter what and would die for them they should join a club.

OTP: HOW DO HER AND HEROINE ONLY HAVE 4 FICS ON AO3?????? At least the 2 that are there are really good..... Everyone wants gay romance options until there's an actual gay romance option...... her hangouts are different too they get to dance in the club together...... at least we have Velvet Blue(I don't have many thoughts about her ships I just need to point this out)

nOTP: uhhhhh...... idk..... her with Hero Heroine and Aigis are the only ones that really exist to me and they're underrated so....

random headcanon: hmmmm. I think it's fun that she uses Thanatos to defeat Erebus since everything he represents is something Erebus would absolutely hate but that's not really Elizabeth related nor is it a headcanon..... I think after Arena she gets to have fun with the IT and SEES, especially since she remembers Dancing and is resolved to have more bonds.

unpopular opinion: I mean my least favourite thing probably answers that ha. Oh I guess her personality got changed so much in the spinoffs that going back to her hangouts is really jarring. She's so much less outgoing. The unpopular bit is that I prefer her spinoff personality. I also kind of don't like her english voice? She's got this weird accent? I think that's also why I prefer her in the spinoffa.

I think I'll skip the song one for every character sorry.

favorite picture of them: not a picture but in the weird masquerade there's a skit where she can't eat the bread it's so funny..... me gi do la on

This one's from the arena stageplay

This is a trading card from the movies???? I saved it last year it definitely wasn't from the original source. It's as 'ART OF THESE 4!!!'

This will sound insane but. You know that image of the guy holding the cat and pointing accusatorily at someone? Elizabeth holding Thanatos pointing at Aigis. A better dynamic than Aigis forgetting her name this should have gone in the headcannons bit

I also love this one

I love her... for being my name I haven't thought about her enough

#thank you for the ask!!!!!! #her using thanatos in arena made me think too much of her ryoji and aigis' club #i also think its funny shes the only one hero can gently decline

[elle-p]

For the character thing P3PHeroine?

thanks elle-p !!!!!!!!!! good luck with my character too ^_^)/ !! i feel like i totally don't talk about her (or tbh anyone outside of ryoji ...) as much as i should .. ! im gonna work to change that \o/ ! starting here :]c putting this one under a cut because it actually got suuuper long ^_^;; whoops !

favourite thing about them: she exists !!!!!!!!!!!! and she's so cool . she's like, devastatingly cool . both in her concept and just .. herself .... move over chad narukami losers !!!!!!!!!! especially in her exclusive links, her kindness and kick-ass-ness and depth comes out in full force and i love her so much for it. i know i'm a ryominahead, but i miss her everyday !!!!!!!!

least favourite thing about them: not her fault AT ALL . but aside from how underrepresented she is, i am still a firm believer that she should've received her own ryoji ... it's so sad, because i absolutely adore how they open up to each other, but i've talked to others before about how ryoji in her story as seemingly HER mirror just feels wrong, like he's transplanted from another place (which he literally is .. he's created in minato's image). i would've loved to see how her ryoji could've been more specifically shaped and changed by her quirks + her approach to her trauma

favourite line: "but, when i first saw him... he didn't feel at all like a stranger to me." "i can't explain it well, but it was almost like nostalgia.... or some kind of closeness." "i'm him, and he's me...?" it's criminal that q2 left it at this.

brOTP: junpei and hamuko is especially special to me ... more so than minato and junpei really . they bounce off of each other so well, + the extended/enhanced arc where junpei is kind of misogynistic to her alongside the leader jealousy and how that develops is so cool T_T

OTP: HAMUAIGIS 4EVER !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! aigis im so sorry yr girlfriend is still in the vault . can you imagine femc the answer . would destroy my soul .

nOTP: her + junpei . .. maybe im a little hater but the GAME doesnt even let you do it lmao ...! it means a lot to me that they're best friends . other than that, i'd say she fits cutely with nearly everyone else just like minato does !

random headcanon: okay lets be real . am i stupid ? where does her mp3 player attach ? it just kind of hangs out in midair while minato obviously hangs it on a lanyard . i like to think she's a bit more crafty with it !!! clipping it onto the zipper of her uniform or her scarf or keeping it on a wristband etc ^_^

unpopular opinion: gwa ........... i should just own this i think, even if people disagree !! in my opinion ... femc is supplementary content. and that means you should not be playing her route as your first experience in persona 3. just like how i believe you shouldn't read the manga or watch the movies before playing the game. you need to play the male route first. the way she presents the game's themes through her character and modified story is designed to be in direct opposition and contract with minato's route, and enhances both routes to that effect and can totally change your experience when viewing your previous playthrough of the male route and your current route as her through the lens she teaches the player. in a sad sort of way, i am kind of happy reload hasn't enforced this idea that femc is just one of two ways to experience p3 . this isn't a character select .. she's more like a perfect ng+ to me .

song i associate them with: back to the lighthearted stuff ! cop car by mitski ^_^ easiest answer so far !

favourite picture of them: either this [below], the cover of persona compilation II, or either of the persona music live/tour 2009 and 2010 artworks ! i'm a shin apologist though, so take that with a grain of salt ;] i really love how she's shown in opposition with narukami here, how he's looking straight at her but she's not meeting his eye . i would really love to see these two together more !

#p3 #yeaahhhhh i miss her #her mp3 players always annoyed me... its just hanging there... #thank you!!!!
