heehee hoo hoo procrastinating things so i rant here

#this is all on my mind because recently i interacted with one of those like... twitter akechi stans who are in an echo chamber of #akechi/akeshu. and its just impossible to talk about anything because a)the characters can't be divorced from each other. akira only exists #to prop up akechi and be his cute bf and in a way vice versa for akechi but at least he's allowed to be a bitchy asshole/have more emotions #and its considered 'cute'. #b) in those circles there's a very specific interpretation of akechi that really grates me which makes it even harder for me to take things #seriously or speak when whatever we're talking about is completely at odds. #and its not like I'm inserting myself into akeshu convos and going 'wow youre wrong' we were literally just talking about akira and akechi. #no romance. just them as characters and about the persona awards and its just bah bah bah bah bah shipping #and akeshu is a good pairing but man some of y'all make me go 'damn its not That good' #UGH and that's another reason why i find it hard to hold a conversation about anything regarding royal. because it all fucking boils down #to akeshu and 'maruki being the no.1 akeshu shipper hehe!!!' thats WEIRD you know thats really weird right #and so tiring. i know 3rd sem focuses on akira n kechi's relationship but like. you can talk about it in a way that isnt sosssososohggtgrgh #running out of steam for this rant i forget my original topic i just wanted to yell #idk man i just want nuance. please. i think this ends up being true for any fandom that gets too steeped in shipping #but Fuck nuance is one of the core themes of persona 5 and yet people don't have any
