I wanted to draw this shuake comic about Orion since last year because the impending supernova speculations were kinda popular back then.

I was trying to finish and upload this in January because it’s when Orion (and Betelgeuse and Rigel) is supposed to super bright and also since it’s when this comic is set in. Well, that didn’t happen but here it is.

It’s still winter and a good time to observe Orion lol. I mean, if it’s observable here with all its pollution, it should be visible like everywhere.

Anyway, this is a comic I liked working on and have a lot of feels for. So I hope you like it too.

The fact that yoshida is one of the only adults in the p5 series to actually give joker room to express himself and be more than what they want/need him to be instantly makes him one of my favourite social links. which is why it's so sad he's never present in fandom works

And what makes this worse is JOKER HAS NO OPTION TO ACTUALLY TALK ABOUT IT.... this poor boy doesn't even consider the possibility that someone actually cares to hear about His problems :(

"Stop saying 15 year olds with weird interests are cringe, they're 15" this is true however you should also stop saying adults with weird interests are cringe because who gives a shit

I want to share some wisdom from my high school art teacher.

In my AP Art class, there was a girl who was just starting to experiment with mixed media. At this point she was still playing around, trying to decide what direction she wanted to go with her portfolio. So one critique day, she brought in an abstract canvas with some rhinestone highlights and painted and real peacock feathers. She loved sparkles and peacock feathers so she thought she’d try introducing them a *little*. And after everyone had given some input, the teacher gave her his advice, VERY roughly paraphrased here:

“So here’s the thing… I do not like this style. These are just elements that do not speak to me personally, but I see that you like them, and you’re doing interesting things with them.

“My biggest critique is, I only merely *dislike* this piece. I want you to make me HATE it. Go crazy with the things that you like. Don’t hold back trying to make it palatable to people like me. Because I am NEVER going to like it. And if the audience does not like it, it should drive them crazy seeing how much YOU love it.”

Her portfolio was chock full of neon colors and glitter and rhinestones and splashes of peacock feathers and it was a delight. Our teacher despised every piece lol, but she got great marks and I think even won some awards. And more importantly, she was happy and proud of the results. Because she didn’t limit herself by trying to appeal to people who were never going to enjoy what she enjoyed.

Takeaway here: be as cringe as you want. Don’t limit yourself based on other ppl’s tastes. They’re not you, and you are incredible 💕

I am fucking BEGGING transmascs (and everyone else) to not let the animosity of a VERY SMALL GROUP of very online transfems impact how you interact with transfems or think about transfems.

please, please, please remember that this "hating transmascs" and "kill all TMEs" bullshit is just a few edgy weirdos on the internet who enjoy saying inflammatory things for shock value.

transfems are not your enemy, and YES, you do actually need to unlearn transmisogyny. Not because you're transmasc, but because we live in a transmisogynistic society.

transfems are not a hivemind, there's no broader transfem consensus that transmascs are Evil Privileged Abusers, but the small group of people who think that way WANT you to believe that they are representative of trans women everywhere. they're super not. they really are just a handful of angsty people online looking for someone to pick on.

all trans people have more commonalities than differences. there aren't two distinct species of trans people from two different planets, there are just trans people with a wide diversity of experiences and walks of life. we are all affected by the same systems of oppression.

find community and mutual support with transfems. build solidarity and have conversations about how we can help each other. the only way we all get through this shit is together.

ive made the joke of "haha all the pts were at the shrine at the same time joker and sumire were which implies they deliberately chose not to invite him" to my friends and written it off as a writing mistake but I really just sat with it and. oh my god. all of his friends didn't invite him.

the phantom thieves are still friends with joker in the new reality. they have the new years party. they are happy to see him. but he is now an afterthought. there is no more texting him to go to the palace or hang out or darts or anything. he has become secondary in their life because the problems he helped them work through never occurred in the first place-- and their bonds are largely built on him acting as an assistant to them. I dont doubt that there will still be phantom thief hangouts in maruki's reality and that they'll stay good friends, but joker no longer gets priority nor special attention. he's facing a degree of abandonment which, potentially, can explain some of his motivation to get the old reality back. He no longer has a use to them, and depending on how you read joker that could be a worst fear realized for him.

this makes the akechi thing even worse because he does seek joker out specifically. joker is the one person who remains a priority for him because joker is the single person he currently cares about, whether he admits it or not. it's possible to read 2/2 as a double failsafe on maruki's part, then, because it could be a way of signaling "your friends don't actually need you deep down. you are nothing but a tool to fix their problems. there is one single person who doesn't view you that way, who actually values you, and I will take him away from you if you don't comply."

I dont think the pts actually dont care for joker of course. my optimistic reading is that it's an internal logic error: ren came into their lives as a consequence of something they lost or needed, so once that thing is returned or fixed their history is wiped. this can be seen whenever joker reminds one of them, i.e. ryuji or morgana, about how they met and they become confused. it's difficult to form a deep bond with someone you don't have history with; I have friends in passing that I'm not close with and I treat them with the same general pleasantness the pts do to joker during the start of third sem. obviously if they dont remember him their feelings won't run as deeply. I think this is also supported by the fact that that when they start to have doubts, even before fully snapping out of it, they go to Leblanc to seek joker out. that single act of wanting to right a wrong or sort out a misunderstanding makes me feel as though they do have a vested interest in their friendships-- it's just unfortunate joker isn't there to see it happen.

I know that the reason joker seeks the thieves out and earns their priority during normal gameplay is because he is the player character and that is the way the video game must work, but again, akechi shows that there's still a difference there. and regardless, I think it says something interesting about joker, if you choose to read it in such a way. the abandonment is undoubtedly bad, yes, but there's more to grapple with there when joker feels the need to return the true reality not just out of a sense of justice, but a desire for control. a desire to become the center of his friends' world again, even if just subconsciously, and get their attention back. and then, when 2/2 rolls around, he must make the decision of whether or not to hand over that control of his friends for a more minuscule control of akechi-- which he now might delicately view as one of the only "real" connections he currently has after all. and if he does, the horrible irony is that on the other side, that connection will also become just as fake as the others are.
