WELCOME BACK QUEEN‼️‼️ I know you're a p5 and p4 gurlie but..! What about p3? And idk if you've ever played p3p but if you have the female mc you can date a 10 year old little boy <33 My p3 obsession got revived with the release of reload
🍋 anon
I still intend to play Reload, buuuuuut due to now knowing there's no FeMC/no male party member social links, it's dropped just a bit on my priority list... I guess I'll watch playthroughs of the P3P romance routes when I play it.
I think I might go in reverse order and replay P4G, *then* Reload... Although, copypasta aside, I also want to play a real SMT game, just not sure in what order I'll do all of those.
I forgot how absurdly easy Persona combat is (even while playing Royal I was like "wow this is too easy I need to raise the difficulty" only to realize it was already on "merciless" 😭) and SMT is apparently basically post-apocalypse Persona with amped up difficulty so I think I'd like it.
But also, I need you to know that only after typing all of this did I scroll back up to read the rest of the ask and you can do WHAT NOW—

3, 5, 9, and 12!! :3 - @prismaticuniverses
DOING THESE NOW BEFORE I GET TOO LOST IN EVENT GRINDING. YAAAAAY!
3. how do the other characters generally feel about your self insert?
Generally positively, since he doesn't give anyone much reason to dislike him in the first place... he's a bit distant, sure, but when he interacts with other people he's polite enough and seems to say all the right things. At MOST some of the more perceptive characters would find her a bit off putting because when you look closer, her smile never feels truly genuine and everything she says sounds like it was rehearsed. And both of those things are true LOL
5. does your self insert have any special powers or abilities?
Outside of the magic stuff she learns at RAD? Not much. I like to think her pact w/ Levi brings her the ability to breathe underwater and have weird glow-in-the-dark eyes though (but that one's just for extra weirdguy factor ww) –
Actually post-resurrection I think he can both see and talk to ghosts + casts spells more efficiently in graveyards. Sometimes if you look at him in just the right lighting she looks like a skeleton
9. who are your self insert’s closest friends?
All of my mutuals' self inserts and I'm so serious about it you all exist in the cybergoth universe to me. If we're talking canon characters outside of Levi, though? I think he gets along with Mammon and Asmo fine enough.
She has fun with them :] would PROBABLY get along with Simeon and Satan also but he still keeps himself at a bit of a distance (as she does with near everyone really) so they're more like just very casual friends
12. how would the fandom view your character?
Dude I have NO CLUE... I feel like there's a lot of room for misinterpretation (alongside reducing her to just being "cool goth guy" and not much else) but true Lazarus fans would draw him as the tbh creature sitting in a stock photo of a coffin

ok hot take: arti is NOT balanced. specifically her combat. not in an overpowered way, but the opposite. she's not strong enough for combat against scavengers. arti has ZERO abilities to resist spears outside of the parry, which requires timing and honestly quite impressive reaction speed. ("just turn the game speed down!" some people cant play with the speed lowered! (me) ive been playing since before downpour and ive NEVER used the mushrooms so im USED to this speed. turning it down throws me off so much that id die MORE)
sure, she can resist explosives somewhat, she wont die to them, but she still gets stunned anyways. so who cares if shes immune to death from explosives when she cant do anything PASSIVELY about spears, the thing that matters. you survive a grenade, but then you get stabbed in the head a second later and die anyways.
scavengers weren't designed to be fought. they have a reputation system for a reason. they're the sort of creature you dont fuck with because they WILL fuck your shit up beyond belief. arti goes against all of that. and shes not strong enough to. she doesn't have resistences to what MATTERS. fighting large groups can be near impossible sometimes. and sure, you can avoid those most times, but you physically cannot in metro. you HAVE to fight them at least SOMEWHAT to even get through.
i understand how people can like arti. but the problem is she's simply not strong enough. i understand that rain world is MEANT to be difficult, but arti takes it too far imo. she's difficult into unfairness.
sure, losing karma doesn't matter. but doing the same thing again and again and again just... is terrible. even if you take a different route. i took different routes almost every other time i died while playing arti. i still got sick of dying. i was so relieved when i beat it. i never plan on playing her again. she brought me genuine, terrible stress. she killed my drive to want to play rain world for a while; the thought of just opening it stressed me out.
games are meant to be fun. i can understand how arti could be, but she just isnt to me. she's not fun. she will never be fun for me without significant altering. and even then, i highly doubt i could ever bring myself to play her again. just looking at her select screen art makes me anxious.

Through 2023, I've been sketching and conceptualizing my designs for the human cast of BATDR. Giving shape to some ideas, testing new ones, you know the deal.
And December of last year, I wanted to make some slightly more elaborate drawings ("elaborate" in comparison to the previous sketches in this case), with some of these designs. To sort of solidify these ideas better.
The result turned out quite nice, despite a few things. (why are noses so complicated from a head-on perspective) Last month I decided to bring these drawings + 3 small doodles to color. To also solidify how they look in color.
Obviously, this isn't the entire DR cast. There are only 8 designs here, it's a little less than half of the entire cast, I still have to show a lot lol. These above are what I chose to draw in recent times.
For the rest of the characters, it's a matter of 1. fleshing out the designs (e.g. Angus Newman, Kitty Thompson) or 2. I still have to think of a design for them (e.g. Muncie Dunn, Telly Wester).
When I have a better vision for them, I'll do something similar to what I did here. Make some more elaborate drawings for them, color them digitally and post them here eventually.
I don't know if the text I put is too big or too small, so here are the characters in each image, left to right:
-Jane Todd, Kay Lee.
-Grace Conway
-Bill Danton, Lance Derby
-Sally Newt, Hudson Doyle and Carl (one could argue that Carl might not be a real in-universe person, but I still wanted to do a design for him)
There are still some details that have yet to be really set in stone, but even so, what we have above is practically the main vision for these designs solidified, so to speak,which I'm happy with.
At first I was only going to color the first three images, but I liked the other 3 mini drawings that I made at the time so I decided to put them here too. Eventually I'll make some better drawings with them, so the next time I show other BATDR designs, I'll post them together.
Maybe in the future, when all the designs are finalized, I will make a digital drawing with all the designs, in one place. I tried to do something similar in the past with my BATIM designs, so it would be interesting to do something like this again with the Dark Revival cast.
