Unused Akechi Thieves Den conversations

There are some unused Thieves Den conversations that Akechi had with the other PTs, so I wanted to show them here. This is a long post btw.

Zorro - Yusuke & Akechi convo

Yusuke: ……

Akechi: You’re looking at that Persona rather intently. Is he that intriguing?

Yusuke: Absolutely. It is an unparalleled luxury to lay sight on the physical manifestation of another’s self-image. Not just any artist can claim to have borne witness to the likes of Personas, or Mementos. It would be foolish not to use this opportunity to incorporate these concepts into an art piece.

Akechi: I… see. Well, you have fun with that.

Yusuke: Ah, before you go. Would you be so kind as to show me your own Persona? I’d love to use him as a model for one of my sketches.

Akechi: …I’m going to have to decline.

———–

Goro doesn’t want to model for Yusuke lol

Robin Hood - Ann & Akechi convo

Ann: Seeing this reminds me of the days you still acted like a prince. Things have gotten pretty dark since then…

Akechi: Complain all you like, but this is who I am. I’m not going to change back.

Ann: I’m not complaining. It’s better to know you’re being honest and not hiding anything from us.

Akechi: Honest, huh.

———–

I like how Ann is accepting of Goro’s true self.

Robin Hood - Sumire & Akechi convo

Sumire: This Persona is yours, Akechi-senpai? I’m surprised. It’s very, um… noble.

Akechi: Ah, that’s right. I suppose you’ve never seen this one.

Sumire: Never! Do you fight with it the same way? You know, “Muahahahaaa! You’re all gonna die! Sayonara, suckers!”

Akechi: Heh. Are you mocking me?

———–

Sumire’s friendship with Goro is so adorable!

Robin Hood - Ryuji, Ann & Akechi convo

Ryuji: It ain’t fair that he gets to have two Personas. Aren’t you kinda jealous?

Ann: Sometimes. Is it something you can train yourself to do?

Akechi: Personas are part of your personality, correct? Why don’t you try acting like someone you’re not?

Ryuji: Dammit, Akechi!

Akechi: Down, boy. Learn to take a jo—

Ryuji: You’re a frickin’ genius! Let’s do it!

Ann: Good idea! I wonder what I should act like…

Akechi: Hah. And here I thought I’d seen the limits of your idiocy.

———– 

Goro was like “Why don’t you try being a wildcard?”. It ain’t that easy though lol

Morgana Car - Akechi, Ryuji & Yusuke convo

Akechi: This car was a lot more comfortable than I expected. I can’t say I mind it.

Ryuji: Dude, have you forgotten how bumpy that shit was in Mementos? I thought my ass was gonna split in half.

Yusuke: Agreed on the bumpiness. It was rather effective at abating my hunger, though.

Akechi: I don’t usually ride in cars with such weak suspension. It was a new experience for me.

Ryuji: THAT’S what you call it!?

———– 

You learn something new everyday.

Kamoshida Statue - Sae & Akechi convo

Sae: Honestly, when I heard there was a teacher like this at Makoto’s school, my blood ran cold.

Akechi: If it was that much of a concern, why didn’t you bring it up with the faculty?

Sae: It’s not that simple.

Akechi: You should be more upfront about your feelings. Then again, I suppose you are who you are.

———–

Did Kamoshida had some way of making the students’ parents/guardians not complain about him? Is that why Mishima was like “the parents know but don’t care”?

Kaneshiro (Ruler Form) - Makoto, Ryuji & Akechi convo

Makoto: Say, Kaneshiro mentioned that there was someone using other people’s Palaces to do whatever they pleased…

Akechi: Yeah. I suppose that was me. I’m surprised a petty criminal like him had caught wind of me, though.

Ryuji: But Shido’s the one who was takin’ advantage, yeah? I thought you were just followin’ orders.

Akechi: Hm… It’s not quite that simple.

———– 

What do you mean by that Goro? Do you have more freedom when you’re in palaces or something because the conspiracy is not aware of what goes on in there?

Shido (Ruler Form) - Akechi & Sae convo

Akechi: I never thought the scheme would end with Shido. I always assumed some other monster would take up his mantle.

Sae: Even so, I’d already decided that I wouldn’t give up on exposing the guilty parties. …I want to keep my faith in justice.

Akechi: Oh? Something so cliché coming from you is rather surprising, Sae-san. I suspect the Phantom Thieves have rubbed off on you quite a bit.

Sae: That’s a possibility. Maybe you could do with some change yourself? Like, drop the “cool customer” act and just live in the moment?

Akechi: Hah! Surely you jest. I’ll pass.

———– 

Oh Goro is putting up his Detective Prince act on this one.

Interrogation Room - Akechi & Morgana convo

Akechi: How nostalgic… It makes me sick to remember that day. I can’t believe I was so thoroughly tricked.

Morgana: It was quite a gamble on our end. But ultimately, our justice saw the light.

Akechi: Justice, huh… Sure, let’s leave it at that.

———– 

Sounds like Goro doesn’t believe Morgana there.

Penguin Sniper - Ryuji & Akechi convo

Ryuji: Pool’s pretty fun once ya get used to it. Aight Akechi, let’s go a round! It’s time for the Ultra Mega Poolin’ Schoolin’!

Akechi: Ignoring that ludicrous title… Do you honestly wish to play against me?

Ryuji: I’m a man of my word! I know I got no chance when it comes to brainy stuff, but this? I can take ya. Or what, are you chicken?

Akechi: Heh, of course not. Sure, I’ll play a round. And I won’t be holding back.

———– 

I think Goro is gonna use his right hand, but Ryuji you should still prepare yourself. 👀

Loki - Yusuke & Makoto convo

(Akechi is not in this unused convo but the convo is about him)

Yusuke: To think we would fight side-by-side with Akechi once more… His personality seems to have shifted, though. It’s a far cry from the Detective Prince we once knew.

Makoto: That is true… But somehow, I think it made him easier to talk to. He’s honest with us, at least. I don’t worry about him hiding things anymore.

Yusuke: Yes… His murderous screeching may be unsettling, but I’ve come to realize that is simply a part of who he is. Perhaps it would be worthwhile to paint a portrait of him, knowing this…

Makoto: If you do, I’d love to see it. …I’d like to hear what he thinks of it, too.

———– 

Murderous screeching LOL! Again Yusuke, Goro will not model for you 😆

———–

and that’s all of the unused Goro convos in the Thieves Den.

Looking at the tags, a lot of people are blessedly unaware of the Discourse, for posterity:

[orcboxer]

do they think... that prologues and epilogues... which take place within the story and are very much inside of the same book as the rest of the pages... don't count as part of the book....???.....

Bronze age ship discovered

look inside

made of wood

[sophia-epistemia]

it's made of wood because all the bronze was used to make the age, not the ships. obviously

[alchemistdoctor]

I am begging you. Please learn about stress/discomfort tolerance. Practice raising it. You need this to survive. If someone online can ruin your day with a throwaway comment, you desperately need to understand discomfort tolerance and consciously, systematically build that shit.

Also! Stress tolerance is such an important skill that having a learning disability in that area is a major symptom of a whole lot of other disabilities/mental illnesses! Struggling with it is a huge part of life! It sucks!

Am I saying everyone with misophonia needs to listen to chewing noises all day? No. But you need to find ways to tolerate it enough that you don't treat others like shit if they make a mouth noise near you.

No, you don't have to read the fic with your trigger tags. But you do need to be able to handle scrolling past the tags without being upset.

It is hard! But not having it also makes you so so so easy to manipulate. That grandma is racist AF because her mom raised her to be uncomfortable around black people and she never fought that discomfort. Trans people make so many cis people uncomfortable and that discomfort turns into bigotry real fast.

Letting your discomfort dictate your actions and beliefs about things is a great way to become a terrible person. Learn. Discomfort. Tolerance.

[enbeees]

This is seriously so true, and something I feel should also be expanded is:

Discomfort is not equivalent to harm.

I swear, so many people will act like they understand this concept, but excuse their own harmful behavior with "what they do is harming people, they deserve harassment!!!" Because it made them uncomfortable.

Your triggers are yours to manage, no one else's. The people who do that love to tell other people to get therapy, but it only makes it clear that they themselves are not in therapy because (aside from viewing therapy as a punishment rather than help) they believe a therapist would support their decision to use their discomfort to cause harm. If you speak to a therapist, they are not going to tell you to attack anyone who makes you uncomfortable and/or triggers you unintentionally. They are going to help teach you coping mechanisms so if you do get triggered by something, you're able to deescalate the situation and control your reaction instead of trying to control others.

Now if someone is specifically going out of their way to make people uncomfortable as a form of harassment, (or being bigoted ofc) that is causing harm. But if someone say, runs a blog about spiders, and you have arachnophobia, they are not causing harm. They're enjoying something that you do not, and it is your job to manage your own discomfort, not attack them for appreciating spiders, or demand their blog be shut down because it's inherently harmful.
