Akechi would take a picture of the cakepop from evil Starbucks and post it to his foodblog, with the caption: “Effervescent ✨☺️🧁 The icing truly melts in my mouth 😍 So sweet! So delicious! 🤗 I’m definitely recommending this cakepop!” and then he’d throw it in the garbage without taking a single bite

#he is a fakeass bitch and I love that about him #pretending to like sweets to charm his fans… gaslighting king #caption is modelled after that one p5 anthology manga panel where futaba reads Akechi’s blog AND HE GETS EMBARASSED LOLLLLL #the 2nd post is my fave 💀 Akechi just making up situations w joker to get mad at is SO FUNNY TO ME. he doesn’t understand how feelings work #anyway uhhhh. bisexual Maruki. yes. bcuz shibusawa & Rumi r both gorgeous #persona #persona 5 #p5 #persona 5 royal #p5r #persona 5 royal spoilers #Akira Kurusu #ren amamiya #chihaya mifune #sumire yoshizawa #goro Akechi #ryuji sakamoto #ann takamaki #Takuto Maruki #yusuke Kitagawa #mine #akeshu #shuake #none of the PTs would acc smoke weed bcuz the punishments for marijuana possession in Japan r RIDICULOUSLY harsh #but it’s funny to imagine yusuke’s first drug experience <33

Doodle & Sketches Dump 2: Royal Trio in my Wildcard Kawakami AU

I have a wildcard Kawakami AU and I sketched the Royal Trio in the Au for 2/2!

Maruki is one of the OG Phantom thieves, joined in the first palace! His Arcana is Emperor, Codename Doctor, and I'm still torn between making his Persona Azathoth or Adam Kadmon

Rumi is the Target for the Fourth palace and the fourth party member~ Her Arcana is Hermit, Codename Knight, and her Persona is either Eva or Marie Antoinette. She's the Shiho & Kasumi of this au!

Kasumi/Sumire stands in for Maruki. She's Rumi's Psychiatrist who, by chance, got hired by Shujin as a counselor. The rest of the story, including the third semester, is still being workshopped

Akechi stands in for Sae! Their roles are the only few who are truly swapped. His personality leans more toward his 3rd-semester self. I like to imagine he and this au's Sae have somewhat of a mentor/student relationship, even though they're just colleagues? Cue Akechi dragging Sae to Leblanc because she hasn't eaten lunch.

The unrecognizable blob is Akiren. Who, in truth, I'm still debating whether to put into Kawakami's role or Maruki's role. I imagine he's a laid-back, cool teacher. The kind who seems to joke around a lot but secretly cares a lot about his job.

Honest to god I want to develop this AU further because I have sooo many harebrained gag ideas like Rumi still beating Takuto's hand while she was recovering in the hospital, and breaking his hand while she's at it.

Would anyone be interested in hearing about this au?

#persona 5 royal #persona 5 au #takuto maruki #goro akechi #akira kurusu #ren amamiya #last name suggestions for Rumi are welcomed~

[huesofvioletandpurple]

genuinely astonished that the fandom hasn't utterly latched onto Kasumi and Rumi considering how they are essentially blank slates to an extent and you can pretty much write them however you want. like why haven't I seen any fics about Rumi feeling like something is wrong and going on a quest to figure out why her memory is inconsistent only to slowly wonder in dread if she should even pursue it. how come there isn't a wide fanon consensus on what Kasumi was like to the point where I forget it isn't shown in canon. come on !!!!!!!

[smolstarthief]

Ok sooo I need to share this AU concept since I feel like it wouldn't make sense in the actual timeline and among other things but still it won't leave my head:

So remember how people came up with AUs where Joker and Maruki are related? Well... This was inspired by a part of me and Creepy's RP but what if Rumi had a surprise for Takuto and her parents on the day of their visit which obviously ended badly and put an end to that plan? That surprise ended up being Ren but unfortunately, Maruki already removed himself from her life so neither of them were aware of being related until present day and 3rd semester.

Poor Rumi would just be so confused on why she's carrying a baby after the (accidental) memory wipe but considering how her personality was described she would no doubt keep him despite the potential stigma she would be hit by. She starts living with her Grandparents and remaining family members after getting out of the hospital who were apprehensive about her having a child alone out of wedlock but take her in anyway. Also having probably met Maruki before at some point... They already assume that the father is him and believed that he abandoned her so therefore end up not mentioning him to avoid hurting her. Her grandparents at least cared more than them though and try to support her as she gets back on her feet.

Come the day Ren was born and Rumi absolutely dotes on him but does note something being a little familiar about him appearance-wise and she starts to feel off whenever she thinks more about it. Namely kinda like how, "Kasumi" ends up having random slumps/depressive episodes. This worsens as he gets older and starts showing similar quirks and behaviors as Takuto which her relatives (except for her grandparents) start to resent him for, especially when he starts asking questions.

At one point, Rumi ends up having a sudden breakdown due her own filter further weakening (curse the lack of power consistency with Maruki in canon) and an older Ren asking about his father which scares Ren and then herself when she almost hurts him in the process (probably not physically though since I don't see her doing that to her own child regardless of her mental state). This gets her sent to a mental health facility which Ren does visit more than her relatives (this would be part of why he was heading home late when he encountered Shido). Each visit can vary for him: One day she was her usual loving and energetic self that he knew as a child, the next she was hardly responsive despite his best efforts to talk to her. He also often brings a book or even a chess board since they both liked playing it ("Checkmate") to cheer her up.

He's still just as confused about his father and who he was but from what did learn and even overheard in the past about him, he starts to resent him. Even more so when his relatives start acting distant and cold towards him due to blaming him for Rumi's current situation.

And the lack of contact throughout the game? Blame the relatives as they wasted no time in sending Ren away for his probation which leaves her shattered but to them, it's better for her health in the long run. Being the stubborn woman she is, she still tries but is blocked and prevented from doing so each time which actually worsens things with her as opposed to helping her. It doesn't help that her Grandparents also passed away already by this point and they were actually her primary support system while everyone else in her family was just tolerant at best, uncaring at worst.

How Maruki would piece everything together I'm not entirely sure but maybe like this: He starts to notice Ren showing similar personality traits as Rumi and even himself but doesn't think much of it at first but then Ren decided to randomly bring a chess board to a session which surprises him but plays along as Ren states it cheers him up sometimes, his mom especially. Now I can see Maruki maybe playing it with Rumi when they were younger so when Ren starts showing more of Rumi's quirks as they play, Maruki starts to pale a bit. Again, kinda tying into that "Checkmate" line. Not sure how Maruki would finally figure it out since idk how he would get DNA test done while not seeming suspicious but maybe Shibusawa makes a comment about Rumi having a kid while they were catching up alone? Either way, he would probably also have access to medical files from Shujin and once he sees Rumi's name as his mother with the father not being listed...

"It can't be..."

Plus, I feel like once he gets the ability to warp reality then maybe he would have probed Ren's memories a bit for more confirmation. Needless to say, he's extremely guilt-ridden.

And poor Ren when he finally puts two and two together... Compared to canon, he's PISSED that the person he bonded with and confided to was also the person he resented the most and he just ends up making rash and impulsive decisions without thinking like Sumi before her reveal. Which is something that would startle even AKECHI of all people a little since he's so used to Joker showing more empathy. I would also utilize Raoul because fuck Atlus for making him a DLC Persona.

He would basically represent Ren's acceptance of everything and how he still wants to change Maruki's heart but not out of spite or revenge but to save everyone and HIM since he realized that Maruki is hurting too and needed help. He wants to reconcile with him. To summarize:

Also the departure for the "Leave" ending will be changed quite a bit with Maruki initially parting ways like in canon but then excuses himself with a break to catch up with Ren to give a proper goodbye (bumps into Sumi too). It leads to an emotional conversation until they see a familiar face that Ren immediately hugs. It was an astonished but slowly recovering Rumi. Her filter is gone too. Granted, it's a little bittersweet since Rumi would be kinda pissed that Maruki more or less up and left her alone (even giving him a good punch or smack) but she won't forbid Ren from seeing him either. She's just still a nice person at heart so she wouldn't be mad for long. Especially when Ren pleads his case and she trusts his judgement. That and she would acknowledge that she should've told him about her carrying Ren sooner before that visit to her parents.

The context behind her showing up would be sad initially... She came to Tokyo because she saw the news report of Ren's "suicide" from the facility and was heartbroken. But then she decided that she had enough of staying in that place and demands that she be released which the orderlies complied. She then decided to cut ties with her more toxic family members when they showed little to no care about that report and even insulting Ren to her face. She basically went to Tokyo to find Sojiro and a temporary place to stay as she decides what to do next. Obviously that changed when she sees him alive and hugging her. The filter would wear off after reality is back to normal too during her train ride hence her impulsive response to seeing Maruki.

It does get happy again though when she confirms that as soon as they come back to retrieve what's left of Ren's belongings, they're staying in Tokyo full time. She's also willing to talk with Maruki to catch up and try to give closure as well. Before they both depart, they each give him something to keep him company and remember them in the meantime: Ren gives him his favorite childhood plush toy that he carried around (which suspiciously looks like Mona) and Rumi... She gives him what she wanted to give him before that tragic day... An ultrasound photo showing a small silhouette of a baby. To say that Maruki cried quite a bit is an understatement as he hugs Ren tightly, apologizing repeatedly and promising to step and provide for them as much as he can.

Is TakuRumi gonna be endgame? Idk since a lot of time had passed and I honestly liked the aversion of expectations the game did by having him not get back together with her and deciding to start over on his own (I do wish that more closure was provided with her at least but oh well). Past TakuRumi is a definite but present day? Maybe not likely. But they would still get along since they both care about Ren greatly. Also just imagining Rumi going mama bear mode towards Zenkichi at the beginning of Strikers is too damn funny too.

This is gonna be pretty spoiler heavy for Maruki's confidant, so heads up

***

So Royal really makes me wish they kept those scenes with Ann visiting Shiho at the hospital that got cut out of the game. I was already disappointed that they were cut, since A) I love Shiho and B) it's a little weird that Futaba and Makoto are the only Phantom Thieves that get a substantial number of scenes to themselves, without Joker around. But on top of that, Ann and Shiho make a great foil to Maruki and Rumi.

As well-meaning as Maruki was, the fact of the matter is that he gave up on Rumi. He didn't believe in her ability to heal, or his ability to support her.

This is the polar opposite of Ann and Shiho. Ann believed in Shiho, and her supporting Shiho provided a feedback loop where they both fueled each other's will to move forward. And by the end of Ann's confidant, she and Shiho are closer than ever.

Maruki could have had that with Rumi. But when he "saved" her, he threw everything away out of a misguided view of what was best for the woman he loved.

It was honestly Ann's third tier awakening that sealed my commitment to reject Maruki's reality. I just wish her and Shiho's story was a more prominent part of the core story.

Rumi (P5R)

Ok so hear me out. So you know my theory regarding P5R backstage narrative? Like, the premise is that picaresque narrative is limited by the perspective of the narrator and protagonist, and thus, us readers lack information on regards to “backstage” events of the plot. Most of these “unknown developments” can be traced to Shido’s Conspiracy, literally placing Akechi’s testimony as the “missing piece” of the plot. These events include his mother’s backstory, Wakaba’s research, Kayo’s investigation, the Hasegawa’s case, etc. 

Many events are seemingly unrelated to this pattern, as with Rumi and Sumire! And these two have something in common: there seems to be more to their stories than what it appears at first glance. I’ll focus on Rumi for this one!

By Maruki’s testimony, we see Rumi’s breakdown as a sudden thing. Terrible things just happened too fast in the worst way possible. However, is that really what happened, or is it what Maruki thought happened? 

Even if the closeness to the wedding was an unfortunate coincidence, the whole case is suspicious. What are the chances of a home invader killing the residents? Most robbers purposefully wait till the family is absent to break in. Even if the criminals were taken by surprise by Rumi’s elderly parents, it would still be a mean feat to kill two people when caught off guard. In Maruki’s Rank 9, he mentions the trespasser was one man caught red-handed, and he personally attacked Rumi on his way out. It sounds personal.

Rumi’s reaction, coupled with the crime’s proximity to her wedding, and the ambiguous circumstances of the murder... raise suspicions that maybe the home invaders were after her parents, and their deaths were intended to get through to Rumi & Maruki all along. As a warning, or a threat.

There are two plausible reasons for this, and both follow the parallels between Shido/Ren/Maruki/Sojiro & Ma/Akechi/Rumi/Wakaba.

1. We know that Maruki’s involvement in Cognitive Science made him a target of Shido’s Conspiracy. Shido stole Maruki’s research and decimated his future prospects. As Maruki never mentions his family, it’s safe to assume his only family was Rumi and her parents. Knowing that Shido is a cruel man (as evidence by Wakaba’s forged suicide note), it’s not unlikely he wanted to ruin Maruki’s life over it. This would ultimately feed Maruki’s guilt, as he carelessly brought ruin over his loved ones.

2. Outside of Maruki’s account, we know nothing about Rumi’s career, or about Rumi herself. Considering Maruki’s good alignment -in contrast with Shido’s evil ways and Sojiro’s neutral disposition- and Rumi’s parallels with Wakaba & Akechi’s Mom (which were both connected with the Conspiracy on some level), we could hypothesize she was related to Akechi, but in a more incongruous, innocent, yet influential way: as Maruki was Ren’s therapist, Rumi was a social worker in charge of Akechi's case during the 2-4 years span prior to the game. She was being threatened by the conspiracy, and things came to a head with her parents’ murder. Maruki blamed himself because Rumi couldn’t rely on him.

I think the second would attribute more depth to Maruki’s choices. By invading Ren’s consciousness, Maruki knew he cared about Akechi’s well-being, and even went as far as threatening Ren with Akechi’s life. However, Maruki also attempted to convince Akechi, a deadman, to accept his Ideal Reality. He didn’t extend the same sympathy to Officer Nijima, Wakaba or Kunizaku. 

Maybe he hoped Akechi’s compliance would quell Ren’s rebellion? Or did Maruki personally wish for Akechi to accept a world where he could live happily, a possibility otherwise impossible due to his circumstances? We know Rumi is what propels Maruki into creating a perfect reality, as The Laboratory of Sorrow constantly references her and her tragedy. Thus, if Akechi was somehow related to Rumi, it would give Maruki a double motive to keep Akechi alive: to relieve Ren from his grief -a concern born out of projecting himself on Ren- and to accomplish Rumi’s Reality -a world where her protege would be happy-.

Of course, this is all accompanied with a paternalistic sense of duty. I mean, he parallels Sojiro and Shido for a reason, so he has some “father” vibes in him.
