If Desmond ever ended up in the Persona 5 universe, I wonder what he would think of the Phantom Thieves? Would he be a confidant for Akira/Ren/Joker, be a neutral party? Become a Phantom Thief himself? I can't help but think that because of his Bleeds, he'd end up having his ancestors show up as Personas to help him fight in the Metaverse.

Ngl, I wanna make Desmond the Sun because of my penchant of giving Desmond something related to the very thing that killed him but based on his ‘situation’, these are the Arcanas that Desmond can be part of in my opinion:

Aeon (many of the Aeon Personas have an affinity to light and a common theme for Aeon representatives are that they are unfamiliar with the world they are in and are struggling to find their place in this world which describes Desmond’s current predicament and also… there’s no Aeon confidant in P5 so Desmond won’t be sharing this spot with anyone or, worse, won’t be removing an existing confidant)

Sun (A character in a lonely and most of the time terribly situation, signifying the hopelessness of them succeeding with the end results being them having to reflect on their situation and coming to peace with themselves and what is happening to them)

Moon (being attuned subconsciously to the world around someone, gaining the ability to sense things without being told about them, or without anyone else knowing, this arcana is also sometimes called the Arcana of Lies and Deceit which Desmond would be doing anyway because there’s no way he’ll tell the truth)

Death (metamorphosis and deep change, regeneration and cycles… which can also hint on Desmond’s origin as someone not from this world)

Personally, I do see Desmond as a Phantom Thief and acting like the cool older brother type to these teenagers. But being a neutral party seems more like his style, considering… everything.

So I would suggest we make Desmond a neutral party the Phantom Thieves meet up with in the Metaverse from time to time, mostly in Mementos because, in his own words ‘something calls to me here’.

The Phantom Thieves don’t know he’s the same bartender that works at Crossroads who would always give Joker a Shirley Temple whenever he’s on break. Lala told Joker that Desmond looked ‘lost’ so she helped him out (in more ways than one, Lala actually thinks Desmond is undocumented and helped him be an ‘upstanding citizen’…)

Desmond, for his part, is just happy that, for some reason, he knows Japanese? He has a feeling it’s one of his Bleed and many people tell him he speaks like he’s from a period drama so yeah, there’s that (it’s one of his Ibn-La'Ahad ancestors who knew Japanese because they chased the Mongols to Japan)

As for Desmond’s Persona…

It would be funny to give him Minerva or Juno as a Persona but we’re not that evil. Another idea would be to give him Dionysus for our usual ‘Desmond could totally be Dionysus’ Sage’ idea that pops in and out XD

Although…

So we’re going to make Desmond special because he’s our blorbo and we’ll use the Persona 1 and 2 plot of how the characters get their Persona.

He does the Persona game because he was bored one day XD

And that’s how he starts to hear Mementos’ call.

And while he journeys in Mementos by himself, that’s when he encounters the Shadows… of his Bleeds.

Confronting them (which always ends in a boss fight) ends with him receiving their Arcana and his Bleeds become his Personas.

His Bleeds’ Arcanas:

Altaïr: Hermit (wisdom, introspection, solitude, retreat and philosophical searches)

Ezio: Judgment (associated with realizing one's calling, gaining a deep understanding of life and a feeling of acceptance and absolution)

Ratonhnhaké:ton: Hanged Man (sometimes self-sacrificial or self-loathing, but are more often notable for being caught between two different extremes, parties or stages in life of which they have little to no control – always in the middle of two opposing forces and he’s doing his best to protect his people given what’s happening) or Strength (associated with the morality about the stronger power of self-control, gentleness, courage and virtue over brute force)

Haytham: Emperor (desire to control one's surroundings, and its appearance could suggest that one is trying too hard to achieve this, possibly causing trouble for others; some elements in life are just not controllable)

Desmond’s real Arcana and his own Persona (which may or may not be some biblically accurate angel-like figure with all of his Bleeds around a small orb similar to the Apple of Eden in the same veins of the Norns design) will only awaken after Joker reaches max level with him.

Also, the Phantom Thieves don’t know it’s him because his form in the Metaverse is always hooded with the robes changing depending on which Persona he uses (at the start, they thought it was different dudes until Desmond changed Personas in midbattle)… and yes, that includes Haytham. Desmond gets a hood too even when he’s using Haytham but he also has Haytham’s tacohat. Them’s the rules.

so my thought process was

green cousins —> green cousins as actual cousins —> so green cousins look similar —> blonde morro —> blonde morro who dyes his hair black but keeps the green streak cause he thinks it’s cool —> back to blonde morro

edit yall so i did some research and turns out i’m not original someone already had this idea 💀💀

I’ve been in a real musical mood and looking for animatics and reactions and good grief! Where is the love for Thank Goodness from Wicked?

You got your Defying Gravity and your What is This Feeling and No Good Deed! Heck even No One Mourns the Wicked! But where is the Thank Goodness appreciation?

Kristen did not put her entire being into the acting of that segment for y’all to gloss over it!

wip wednesday: the Great Kazansky-Mitchell Breakup Fiasco of 2003 (post-pulling-Rooster’s-papers) is still giving me grief :(

just feels like i can’t get it right every time i try (and lord how ive tried. the above excerpts are 3 out of a total 7 attempts to get this time period correct, and the other 4 are already up on ao3)

im basically revising this fic like a novel just because i want to get it right for once and for all but the emotional minefield of this chapter (ch 8 of the original fic) means ive basically written myself into a corner where they have to talk about it to move on with their lives but also can’t talk about it because the climax (thanks tgm screenwriters) has to come after mav dies/is resurrected. idk it’s more complicated than that but i tried writing out my notes about what I’m trying to do in the rewrite of this chapter to include in this post and it came out to 1000 words itself, so ill just keep it at that

#weekly word count update: macbook making nervous glances towards the fire escape #if this were just a fic about guys being repressed it would be easy #but the rooster situation complicates everything so much #because they somehow have to forgive each other for what they did to someone else #& then this chapter also has the politics of the 4th star etc… #oh shit im rewriting my notes again ok can’t do that #anyway #im leaving the country for a couple weeks in jan (research conference in Spain!) so i will #try try try to have all these revisions up by then 🤞🏽🤞🏽🤞🏽 working real hard #top gun #top gun maverick #pete maverick mitchell #tom iceman kazansky #icemav #when we get around to talking about it #top gun fanfiction #if it wasn’t clear #first one is ice second one is slider third one is mav

Judaism: Question Hashem! Talk with your rabbis! Always explore Judaism and how it affects your life!

Me: Okay.

Me: *Proceeds to get into near yelling matches with various Orthodox and Conservative rabbis about animals, if they go to heaven and have a neshama (soul) from age 8 or so onward, and eventually becomes a vegan for animal rights based on Jewish teachings of tikkun olam and mitzvot*

People on this fucking hellsite: Noooo how dare you take stuff that you grew up with or is a part of you and you believe in dearly, and implement it in your real life and question shit like how animals are commodified in society nooooooo

Catboy nonny yet again with another idea: cucumbers.

Since cucumbers come originally from like India or China I think, it wouldn’t be a stretch that Altaïr or someone in the Levant could get his hands on one and….cat instincts react…

For those unfamiliar with the whole ‘cats are scared of cucumbers’ thing (like me), here’s a compilation of it.

If you guys want more catboy!Desmond, just click the catboy Desmond tag. I think that gets most of them lol.

.

Malik did not know where Altaïr bought that thing.

Merchants knew that their mentor liked seeing new and strange things so they would peddle their wares here in Masyaf. It was helping with the development of the village beneath the castle but…

It also meant that Altaïr bought a lot of strange things.

Including these… dark green elongated… things.

“They’re for Desmond.” Altaïr said and frowned when he saw Malik’s expression. Altaïr sighed as he clarified, “It’s not for… pleasure.”

Malik continued to judge him quietly, making Altaïr’s right eye twitch as he stated, “It really isn’t for pleasure.”

Malik lowered his head to stare at the shape of these dark green things then look back at Altaïr, making it clear how he felt about the obvious lies leaving Altaïr’s lips.

Altaïr rubbed his face before saying, “Not everything is about sex, Malik. It says something about you that you would think that something as innocent as vegetables would be some kind of device for pleasure.”

“I believe it says more about how you have been acting with Desmond that our minds immediately assume this is related to something sexual because it’s for Desmond.” Malik countered.

“It’s not.” Altaïr stressed.

“Meow?”

Both men turned towards the door where Desmond peeked his head, ears flickering a bit. His face was full of curiosity and Altaïr covered the plate of whatever the hell it was with a piece of cloth.

So it was a surprised sex thing.

Malik really needed to get out of here before they started acting like they usually did.

Desmond’s feline eyes zero’ed in on the piece of cloth, having seen Altaïr’s fast movements.

His tails began to swish from side to side.

“Desmond, no-”

Malik stepped to the side, more to not be part of whatever was about to happen than to actually evade Desmond’s attack.

The cloth was pulled back and thrown, Malik calmly catching it in midair before it smack him on the face. He started to fold it while Desmond stared at the dark green things. Altaïr was by his side, staring at Desmond’s face.

The anticipation rolling in waves all over him.

Malik slowly made his way towards the door, placing the neatly folded cloth on the nearby desk when he passed by it.

Desmond made a weird sound that was half a meow and half a squeal and grabbed one of the dark green things and-

… ate it.

Malik could see the happy expression on Desmond’s face as he ate the thing enthusiastically.

And the disappointment in Altaïr’s expression.

#if it wasn’t clear #altaïr wanted to see desmond freak out and jump really high #jokes on him #desmond liked eating cucumbers back when he was a human #so he ain’t scared of any cucumber #he actually though altaïr bought them because he’s such a good cat owner #no usual tags because #altdes #catboy desmond

Is it so bad to love the rain? To stand in your driveway or in a field or in the middle of the street and open your arms and tilt your head back to the sky.

To love the colours the sky goes when there’s rain at night, or during the day.

To live for the booming crash of thunder that is so powerful it shakes your house, or the distant sound of it breaking across the sky.

To crave the lighting that flashes up in the clouds, strikes down to the ground or webs across the horizon.

To count the seconds and see that the storm is coming your way, or to realise there is not time between and to know the storm is right on top of you.

To continue walking, dancing, biking, running in the rain, and sing at the top of your lungs because no one can hear you.

To have the rain soak your hair, your clothes, fall into your mouth and drip into your eyes.

To sit together with a friend/partner and talk about life and deep stuff while getting drenched in the rain.

Is that so bad?

Therapy today. My therapist opened early just for me (love being a high needs client 😌) and we talked about a lot. It’s strange how much you can cover in an hour. I was feeling really unfocused going in. I didn’t know what I needed. I’m tired. I want to be left alone.

So we talked through some of that. My social life (good), some of my latest Mom Stuff (blegh), and various depression things. I’m still feeling it. I can meet my daily needs. I am proud of that.

Idk. It feels like I should have more to say. Usually I do. But right now I’m just — well I’ve been having the “I’m not actually mentally ill” thoughts lol. I talked about her with that. Apparently I am still mentally ill.

But hey!! I’m here. I hit two weeks clean and she’s proud of that.
