#ACHROANIMUS. A private, selective, and independent roleplay blog for MAKISHIMA SHOUGO of Psycho-Pass, profiled by Ren ( 21+, nb, they/them ). Based in multimedia canon with divergences and headcanon-influenced, interpreted with philosophical, political, psychological, and gothic literary themes, and extrapolated into other verses and series ( Jujutsu Kaisen, Tokyo Ghoul, BNHA, etc ). Viewer discretion is advised due to exploration and depiction of dark and mature topics, adult content, potentially triggering material, and an antagonistic muse with destructive tendencies and distorted thought processes. Beta editor and dash only. PROCEED TO CARRD FOR RULES. open sentence starters. / memes.

A study in scarlet of JUDGMENT OF MAN. SOLITUDE. DESTRUCTION. crime and anarchy. existentialism. skepticism. disillusionment. contradiction. the power of the individual will, self-expression, and the indomitable human spirit. VIOLENCE AS INTIMACY. cruelty committed in the name of ideals. [ KARMA. ] staring into the abyss & the temptation of the void that calls. ( l'appel du vide ) dancing intensely on the edges of eros and thanatos: mania. obsession. oblivion. insatiable curiosity that knows no bounds. THE VICIOUS AND RESTLESS CYCLE OF CRAVING AND SUFFERING. the infliction of enlightenment by a silver tongue. the mortal struggle against fate, impermanence, inevitability. ( memento mori ) THE SOLITARY READER & THE DEATH OF LANGUAGE. subjective justification. freedom of interpretation as a double-edged blade. KILLING YOUR DARLINGS. the shallow grave of childhood. all those nameless ghosts and the phantom of ego. revisiting the scene of the crime ( trauma ) once again for idealization & atonement. the blood must be real. the metaphysics of sexuality & its relevance to one's identity. testing the VALUE. of all things in scrutiny & endless search for MEANING. seeing the world through distortion. mangling things to make them your own. being the anomaly & the outsider in a world that leaves you isolated and estranged. playing the catalyst and the villain to drive the narrative. trying to transcend. granting the gift of autonomy and chasing catharsis, new perspective, ego death & self-annihilation for reinvention & salvation as a player in the game of life.

happy pride specifically to my Makishima being gay and agender that's supported by canon where he refers to himself using pronouns such as 'watashi' or 'jibun' within his own innermost dialogue and will speak about feminine characters or characters whose stories are significant because they're women whenever he's alluding to himself, showing his resonance with those stories, as well as source material where he's described as 中性的な chūsei-tekina which not only is the term that means androgynous & gender-neutral but one adopted by the x-gender community in Japan

[achroanimus]

obsessed with the way this artist draws Makishima so beautiful and elegant with his subtle expressions and ten million cowlicks that look like the wings of a bird <3

the enlightened pervert can look beyond kink to find meaning. and then get horny about the meaning instead.

[Text ID: Maybe what I’ve been trying to say all this time, as an explanation and apology, is that I sense a mass of white noise in front of my face wherever I go. It stands between me and the world, between me and other people. More and more I am finding myself lost in it, unable to make it through to the other side.]

'It's also the source of jealousy and relationship problems.' Does he know?

[achroanimus]

What are humans' desires? I would say the most troublesome desire is the desire for attention. It's also the source of jealousy and relationship problems. You don't seem to have much of it yourself. I pride myself on having almost no such desire. I wonder if that is the key to controlling my Crime Coefficient. Have you read "The Conquest of Happiness" by Russell? [ ... ] The opposite of boredom is not pleasure but excitement. People will gladly seek out any kind of excitement, even pain.

I need to put my thoughts down now and not worry about perfect meta posting otherwise it will live in my brain forever so here we go. here's what I've identified regarding the unique distinctions in the manifestations of criminally asymptomatic across the applicable individuals, while also contrasting with Makishima's form: Touma Kouzaburo - extreme psychosis that causes disconnect with reality ( re: his delusion regarding his deceased twin sister / having a 'Princess' to be complete + hereditary evidence in this delusion of being a 'Prince' and needing a 'Princess' being inherited from his mother who only referred to the twins by those titles and did not let him and his sister outside due to paranoia associated with persecution ) <- he's from Zero: The Monster With No Name. we see him in ep 17 with grandiose delusions Misako Tougane - high levels of egotism / narcissism ( having and regarding her child as an extension of herself and exerting her influence over the rest of the Sibyl System who remains indifferent of Misako's independent actions which is noted by Akane ) <- what's interesting is that she didn't remain criminally asymptomatic after Kamui forced the group update, but that's another meta about what that update entails Arata Shindo - symptoms that resemble c-ptsd + extreme empathy both of the cognitive and emotional variety + visual & memory disturbances / amnesia episodes / flashbacks + specific coping rituals + physical occurrences of brain-swelling / blackouts <- this being concurrent with 'mental tracing' makes it rly interesting Himekawa Yukari / Kugatachi Nadeshiko - flat affect + temporary amnesia resulting in a temporary suspension of being determined as criminally asymptomatic <- I still need to think more about her, but I think her narrative is an interesting exploration on internalizing the negative sentiments of those around her and intersectionality -- Makishima Shougo - destructive and thrill / novelty-seeking behavior and the one with the most levels of rumination + preoccupation with death <- the suicidal genius

Mandatory Happiness being released in 2015 with a criminally asymptomatic inspector protag makes me wonder how long they were thinking about the concept of a criminally asymptomatic inspector which we officially see in the anime in 2019

    THE WARM INTOXICATION OF FRAGRANT TEA, 2D's hands that are fidgeting, pressed together by the tips as she the melody from the jukebox perfumes the space between them. Lavender, with too much cream, too much sugar, as if her tongue no longer could hold onto the caustic acidity of anything else that did not favor comfort. He’s pale, she thinks momentarily, akin to the snowfall when the first sign of winter came causing the ocean itself to form ice. An odd gangly creature in her crimson pinafore, too much gold, adornments from someone who took time, care, preparation to wrap her in everything beautiful.

    Blackberry tarts & more sugar cubes shaped into gauche skulls, the added air of decadence was too dramatic for her taste, it would have to do, like everything else in this confusing life. “I’m not sure what you could mean, darling” every syllable, slightly rounded, overtly tight that did not coalesced with the cracked teeth peaking through blotted red lips. “Nothing strange of the sort going on, we’re just musicians, I play keyboard, full time vocalist!” the blue jay chirps delightfully, girlish glee overtaking her gaunt features, then they smooth as if the performance itself was too rigid.

      “S’nice to make others happy with a song, don’t you think? It makes the melody lovely, guess that’s why I always liked singing”

[achroanimus]

What lies beneath glamor but deceit? A beautiful forget-me-not in the synthetic garden constructed by King Midas who promises only artificial delights and spectacles akin to nepenthe fed to the unknowing populace to induce dreamless slumber — shall she be true and thus worthy of beauty, for there was nothing more beautiful than what is true and shall always be, or as false as fool's gold to satiate the greed of tyrant-kings and loveless paramours? The conversation unfolds like a labyrinth of ambiguous value, lavishly intricate to the eye and pleasant to the senses, but what lurked past the veil of niceties offered? His fondness for the artists and musicians, the enduring creatives of this world who faced the ever-rancorous critics and threat of erasure by other forms of anesthesia undaunted, never so promised his mercy as it did his unsated curiosity.

“What do you think?” Though meaning could not be designated by external parties, only imparted by the individual and the onlooker who formulates his own careful conclusion after considerable observation, he inquires for her interpretation and coaxes her toward consciousness. ( Do you think? Are you awake or only dreaming? ) “I think it's stranger when there's nothing strange at all. Mystery beckons intrigue, darling. If there's nothing to see, then it must be hidden.” His question remains: Did it merit hiding? A performance is only interesting when it's of substance, otherwise it's thoughtless. The most voracious readers look forward to the twist in the narratives presented, search for stories that would permit their deconstruction as a labor of love. The minotaur that awaits him in the maze is the question of happiness. ( Happiness? What worth is happiness that appeals to all, and not I? ) “I'm unfamiliar.” He reserves his skepticism and maintains his hope, navigating the medium of music that was more effective in the transference of emotions than the written word which allowed readers their solitude and the utmost privacy of their minds. “I've yet to hear you play.”

“However, I've always been wary of any panacea that claims to resolve the griefs of all... Ah, but I did not come to disparage your craft nor cast doubt upon your abilities. What had initially drawn me was the location.” He confesses. “And the possibility that I may find myself among interesting company. — Are you happy? To sing for others?”

character development through rp interactions is real because tell me why Maki, whose muse is hovering as I'm playing through mandatory happiness, saw himself described as " a genius or an extraordinary fool " and then rather than take offense he just smiled because of how apt this descriptor is in regards to his dearest friends

[achroanimus]

he is indeed both ,
