First and foremost:
THIS BLOG DOES NOT SHIP/CONDONE/TOLERATE AKESHU IN ANY FORM.
I also don’t tolerate any apologist attitudes about Akechi’s actions in the game– if you like him as a villain, that’s fine (I do too), but I frankly can’t stand it when people insist that what he did is excusable by any measure or like he’s just a ‘poor baby’ who deserves redemption because his situation ‘wasn’t his fault’.
Now, for the rest—
— General
This blog is highly PRIVATE & MUTUALS-ONLY, meaning I reserve the right to follow back at my discretion and that I will only interact with those who I am mutuals with. Pestering me about this is unlikely to change my decision, so please respect it. If I follow you, I do so in the hopes of interacting, however, you needn’t feel obligated to follow back if you are not interested in writing with me. However, if you do not have a rules/about page easily accessible, it is highly unlikely that I will follow you, whether you're RPing a canon character or OC. I am highly unlikely to follow blogs that are too heavily ‘canon divergent’ as most of those tend to become simply OCs with a canon character’s face and that’s not what I’m following canonmates for. If we’re mutuals and we haven’t interacted ICly within a month of us following each other, I’ll likely unfollow. I really don’t have any desire to follow people just to have them on my dash rather than actually interacting with them and I certainly don’t feel like being just a tick on someone’s follow milestones or whatever. Not that the follow isn’t appreciated, but I would really rather interact with my mutuals than simply admire them from afar. Starting threads from asks is welcomed so long as it's discussed with me beforehand. I do welcome messages for plotting, as I work a bit better with an idea of what the end goal of a thread is. Of course, that's not always necessary, but it helps me to formulate my replies. Otherwise, the standard rules apply– no god/info modding, no harassing for replies, no bringing unnecessary drama to my dash. Vaguing or constant failure to handle conflicts with others maturely will result in an immediate unfollow. Constantly bringing drama/callouts to the dash will result in a block. I'm old, I don't got time for that.
— Mature Content
Persona 5 is a game that deals with a lot of dark themes. Things such as emotional & physical abuse, sexual assault and alcoholism are among the many things the game involves in its story. As such, they will likely come up on this blog whether in passing or as discussion between characters. Of course being who he is, Akira would never do much as consider any of these actions, but he will not hesitate to be a listening ear for those who need it. If these topics bother you to even see in passing, though they will be tagged to the best of my ability, you have to be mindful of your own comfort level. I’m not here to do so for you. Now, in terms of nsfw, my Akira is 18, but such things are hardly at the fore of his mind. Even so, the subject may come up even in conversation or in the form of musings/reblogs, and if ships happen there may also be such content implied. If this at all bothers you, then you’re free to not follow. As the mun is 25+, it’s highly unlikely that I’ll interact with anyone under 21, both for my comfort and theirs.
— Friendships/Relationships
As far as shipping, that’s not really my intent with Akira, but like with most things, I prefer to ship chemistry over anything else. I absolutely will not ship Akira with Akechi, or with any of the adult confidants. Any ‘friendship’ with Akechi will be under the assumption that the thread is taking place before the events immediately following the completion of Sae’s palace. Otherwise, I don’t mind plotting friendships, but please understand that close relationships outside of the Phantom Thieves may take time to develop. I am exclusives with enjuste’s Akechi, so please respect this.
— Confidants
All confidants are default rank 8 minimum when Akira mentions them to others, though we can adjust that as necessary for interactions. If anyone would like to play out a social link differently than it was handled in canon, that’s fine too! Really, it’s whatever makes my writing partners happy.
