Life's been a little hectic so being on here has taken a major backseat. :') Sorry for those that are waiting on things (IC and OOC). My activity is probably gonna continue to be super sporadic and random for a bit. So thanks everyone for being super patient with me. 🩵

#; OOC || Bri ♟️ #//The fam got a new puppy (he's a menace and I love him) but he's only a little over two months old. So he's a troublemaking handful. #//I've also been dealing with a possible ear infection so that's fun :))) #//Some other family stuff and working on zine and other writing projects that have taken priority too. #//So it's a lot going on all at once among other things #//and taking a break from Tumblr has actually been very good for my mental health asdfghjklkjhghjkl #//I still feel pretty guilty over not keeping up with IMs and stuff. I just don't have the energy most days. :( #//But just wanted to say hi and let ya'll know that I haven't forgotten about this place #//and that I hope you're all doing well! 🩵

hc that after Goro permanently joins the thieves, Makoto invites him to her and Ryujis spar sessions (another hc). His murderous intent dies down drastically now that he has an outlet lmao

I've still got Shadow Ops Goro on the brain. So what if he joins and is kind of taken under Mitsuru's wing. I feel like she can give that familiar bond he had with Sae in a sense. But that she also has more of an understanding due to dealing with Personas herself. She's tough when she needs to be and strong, but also very caring. And I just think that's a mentor figure Goro needs in his life and would appreciate her helpful yet blunt mannerisms. She's also someone I think Goro can relate to even if their circumstances are vastly different.

#; OOC || Bri ♟️ #//There's just so much potential for Goro to create meaningful bonds with the casts of 3 and 4. #//Honestly I blame PQ2 for shining the light on that so much. #//I have so many thoughts. #//And I need more interactions for Goro with them!!

[kingspuppet]

Thinking about Shadow Ops Goro rots my brain in the best ways. Have I played Arena? No. Does that stop me? No.

#; OOC || Bri ♟️ #//Just thinking of an older more comfortable with himself Goro with cool outfits and doing what feels right with him is *chefs kiss* #//I need more of it in my life. #//Also just him getting to form deep and meaningful bonds with other Persona users.

"Because people love things that are fictional and find it easier to accept those that simply don't exist. Dealing with it in their everyday in reality poses a real danger that fiction simply cannot replicate. It's the desire for the impossible, and when it is possible it's shunned and considered vile." He pinches the bridge of his nose. "It amazes me how you've made it this far in life with how little self-preservation and awareness you have."

"Ah, but all monsters are reflections of human monstrosity. And if it's possible to love the abstraction, why wouldn't it be possible to love the thing it represents?.. I didn't say that, though. Wasn't me."

Goro doesn't really believe in things like magic or fortunes. He also doesn't really believe in higher beings (even though something gave him his powers). So he knows to an extent that the impossible can be possible, but there's just certain things that he thinks are total shams. Psychics for example are one of those things. He doesn't believe some stranger can know your past and future. He also doesn't really believe in aliens or cryptids. This doesn't include the shadows and Personas that exist in the Metaverse, but he doesn't count those as the actual deal and just to be based around them from public cognition. If there's not research, logic, and proof behind it he doesn't believe it to be true. It doesn't mean he won't talk about myths and legends, but he doesn't particularly take them as truth. It's just not something he cares to believe in nor does it really matter to him.

#; Headcanon || Goro ♟️ #//For things like that too he just doesn't believe because some of those are paraded to 'save' #//but nothing and no one came to save his mother and himself. #//So if those don't exist why would other things that are only talked about in legends and such real? #//It's just not something that he buys into and remains uninterested in.

"'Monsters aren't meant to be loved' well that never stopped me in my werewolf phase... Wait who said that?" -Ren

"..." There's no helping the way he stares at Amamiya. His eye gives the slightest of twitches. "We're not speaking of monsters in fantastical settings that don't exist. That is a completely different topic altogether that I will urge you to keep to yourself."

*throws rose petals at Goro* LOVE YOURSELF, YOU GRUMPY MAN!! DON'T MAKE EVERYONE MISERABLE! <3

"If you choose to be miserable after what I said then that is no fault of mine." Plucking the petals out from his hair, he can't help but grimace. "And I refuse to pretend that I find anything lovable about myself. Monsters aren't meant to be loved..."

He shakes his head. "Either way it's none of your business."

Slight P5T DLC spoilers, but I had an idea!! What if after everything in canon is Guernica found Goro? Like what if reality reverted, the stuff in the DLC already passed, and Guernica remembers them? She remembers Goro. So what if he materialized in like an alleyway near the Diet Building or something, and she finds him. She recognizes him from helping her (not just from his famous status either), and knows from her time with him, Sumi, and Joker that something serious probably happened. So she takes to helping him and getting him back on his feet after everything in the engine room and with Shido. But them getting to have a bond together. Also her teaching him how to create graffiti art. (I'm kinda thinking he could have a hidden knack for it because of the PQ2 intro.) So she just takes him under her wing in return for him helping her. They can just go paint graffiti to express themselves but also give messages that they deem are important. :')

#; OOC || Bri ♟️ #; Wishlist || Distorted Desires ♟️ #//I might make a verse for this!!! Street artist Goro who wears regular street clothes and hoodies that have dried paint stained on them!! #//Goro getting to express himself in a way that's far healthier for him and finding something he can be passionate about!! #//Please indulge me I love this so much already asdfghjkllkjhghjkl

are you trying to be normal so people won’t know you’re traumatized and angry or are you trying to be larger-than-life so people won’t know you’re vulnerable and needy

' bro maybe you should have a chocolate so you remember sugar is awesome & then you'll calm down. '

"And spend double the amount of yen on overpriced chocolate? I'll pass. Besides, buying chocolate for myself when it's meant to be a holiday for couples is pathetic enough. And no, I will not feed into this 'self-love' bullshit either."

#foucoeur #; Verse || A Life So Trivial ♟️ #//Goro eat a snickers. You're not you when you're hungry.

[kingspuppet]

"I was only stating the fact that the whole premise of this...holiday is nothing but a ploy for idiots to spend more money than necessary." He tries to keep his gaze neutral as he eyes the box of chocolates. "Never did I say I would be opposed to receiving chocolates should someone, for whatever reason, consider to share some with me."

"Then what should I do with the chocolates I wanted to share with you...?" It was a large box wrapped with a gold and hot pink ribbon. On the corner on the box itself was a plastic rose. It was one of the better Junes brands.

#tvstarkuma #; Verse || A Life So Trivial ♟️ #//He can't say no to you Teddie ;3; #//but also Goro is just bitter and lonely and will pretend he doesn't care but he cares very much!

[kingspuppet]

"Why does everyone care about this accursed holiday? It's nothing but a ploy to scam idiots out of their money as if roses and expensive chocolates aren't inconsequential in the grand scheme of things. It's dedicated to morons, not love."

#; Commentary || Goro ♟️ #//If I'm bitter Goro can be too as a treat. #//I also just feel like Goro would have a lot to say about this holiday in general. #//I guess I could make up a whole HC post about that. #//but Goro's too pessimistic and just deems it as the capitalistic's dream. #//If he's got a partner he feels slightly different but he still thinks it's a stupid scam through and through.

ken handshake goro both secretly very into superheroes

|| YES god if Goro and Ken had met they probably would've been really good friends because they're just secretly big nerds over heroes.

#; OOC || Bri ♟️ #//Goro not having much to show for it but he does have the Proof of Justice that he would show to Ken ;3;

[kingspuppet]

OKAY BUT WAIT HOLD ON A SEC BECAUSE SPEAKING OF HIS NAME Superman is a superhero and proudly has an 'S' on his costume, and it's kind of like a signature. So is the reason Goro puts 'A' on everything (his attache case, his Detective Prince epaulets/belt, etc.) because it's like what a hero would do?? ;3;

#; Headcanon || Goro ♟️ #//Maybe someone's already pointed this out #//But I'm just realizing it now AND GOD HE JUST WANTS TO BE A HERO SO BAD ;3; #//He had to mature so quickly but deep down there's still this kid that just wants to be the hero AND I'M HURTING

[kingspuppet]

Sometimes I really love the idea of Goro choosing the name of Akechi for himself. It's an identity of the person he wants to be and the justice he wants to embody. But at the same time I can't help but also love it just being his mother's maiden name. That it's something he could've changed but kept to keep her memory alive. Like it's a nod to him still trying to be her hero but it's also special to him because it was hers, even if the rest of her family wasn't so accepting. And if it's the instance of the latter, I kind of imagine that Shido didn't care enough to know Goro's mother's name. Or that she perhaps went by a different name when dealing with clients (and I do feel like Shido would take advantage of such services). So him keeping Akechi wouldn't hinder his plans to take out Shido because how's he to recognize a name he never cared enough to know to begin with?

#; OOC || Bri ♟️ #//Speaking of Mamakechi I need to finish that bio thing I started for her like 6+ months ago. #//But I think about this often. #//And even if I did go with Goro picking his own name to reach stardom I don't know what his original name would be. #//Besides I really lean towards Shido not giving a damn and it meaning a lot to Goro.
