You're brain is Very Big and I'm drawing this when I get home man. I drew her w the spear bc izanagi and izanami both used the spear to make the islands. But using the comb is so big brained
Sry to bother but I just wanted to drop in and say how happy seeing your art has made me today. I'm so so happy you're still posting doodles. Your style is one in a million, there's genuinely something so special about your art that can't be replicated by anyone else.
Tysm for being so cool. :))
I'm really glad you enjoy my art. That means the world to me when someone likes my art this much and I can inspire someone else. And for the record I love seeing your art as well and hope you're doing good. No worries don't feel like you're bothering me ever, I love getting asks and hearing from mutuals. And thank YOU for being cool as well o7
Hello, about the femdachi au. It’s mentioned plenty of times that Adachi holds a weird dynamic with Narukami by projecting her issues with men onto him. Could you clarify by how specifically she projects onto him?
I'm too lazy to type this all up again but it seemed relevant here. For context I've also shown multiple times that femadachi is more akin to izanami trapped in yomi then post yomi izanagi. So they have a very interesting relationship that reflects izanami and izanagi where femadachi doesn't hate yu and in fact cares for him, but she wants to drag him down to her level. Make him dirty, sad, and pathetic the same way she thinks she is so he'll stop pitying her (aka him being nice to her bc thats just how he is). Also key point here. Femadachi is a misandrist first, misogynist second
hello! you said to ask about your femadachi thoughts and I would love to hear! when I've considered this, I wonder if she still kills people and if her victims would be men instead or a mix of men and women lol. also wonder who specifically. like she still sees mayumi on the midnight channel first considering everyone sees mayumi first but I'm wondering if she would feel inclined to do anything about that or not... much to consider...
before I start. uh obvious spoilers for p4 lol.
tbh I hadn't thought much about how different the situation or possibly even the different victims adachi would have as a woman before you asked. I'm a sucker for focusing on the changes in relationships first when I do genderbends of characters bc I like inspecting how people act w each other and being a woman would definitely affect adachi's relationships in this case (cough cough work place sexism cough but also nanako). but after giving it much thought I can say with like 83% confidence that I think fem adachi would still kill mayumi and saki. the catch? she's doing this specifically bc namatame becomes her proverbial lab rat she's torturing in the maze that is inaba and she likes the idea of being judge, jury, and eventually executioner for a man she thinks has proved that he is worse garbage then most men are. this is my thesis and I will explain in a long ass essay (under the cut) like the nerd I am.
to start I also wanna add the context that I agree w the tags you left on my art that fem adachi wouldn't be a misanthrope she is a misandrist and internalized misogynist (she's definitely been a misogynist for longer tho). also while she definitely doesn't like mayumi and didn't really have much an opinion on saki, they don't get pushed in the tv bc adachi was coming onto them, but rather bc one of her motives will not pass the bechdel test.
for mayumi in canon adachi calls her out to try and make her feel bad/punish her for being a home wrecker in a things are getting adult rated way, but for fem adachi she is doing it in a women hating women way. Obviously, I think mayumi would be way less standoffish to adachi here, and is like, "oh women that aren't taken seriously gang haha I appreciate a woman reaching out to support me??" until adachi is on mayumi's ass with, "fuck female solidarity. why, as a woman, are you so stupid and dense to let a man be the reason your life is ruined? you aren't taken seriously mayumi-san? oh, its because you threw your life in the trash for some stupid man who thought he could have his cake and eat it too. you give a bad name to women (like me) who actually try to make it in this world." obviously things get heated and mayumi gets scared, then oops! tv push! uh oh!
considering the lack of respect adachi would have for mayumi, she doesn't feel bad about pushing mayumi into the tv at all. as if it's like she gets to punish this woman for having an affair, and later when mayumi is found dead, its like punishing namatame for having an affair by killing his mistress.
for a brief sideline into man killing, once mayumi is found dead adachi probably briefly considers throwing namatame into the tv when she can get his hands on him, especially when she hears about how much this dude genuinely loved mayumi. it makes adachi sick to think that this dude had everything on a silver platter (in her pov) and STILL cheated as if he didn't have enough. but then she probably finds out namatame lost his wife, his job, any public servant opportunities, destroyed his reputation, AND adachi herself got to kill his mistress, and she thinks, "huh. maybe this dude will suffer more if he's actually gotta live with the consequences of his actions all alone. death is the easy way out for him. and if suffering alive is not good enough I'll do something about it later. (:"
so this is where saki comes in. obviously adachi still questions her bc she saw mayumi's body etc, but when she calls saki in a second time for questioning its probably to actually 100% confirm everything (at first) bc adachi here is a woman detective at an office with mostly men who do not take her seriously whatsoever (this also adds to the fact that I think fem adachi is definitely more of a workaholic then adachi in canon but not too relevant here yet). while going thru everything they went over in the first questioning saki brings up namatame and adachi is so all ears. saki says something about how he mentioned the midnight channel and he was being creepy, and adachi's first gut reaction is namatame is a freak (negative) for talking to a teenage girl, and the more she keeps badgering saki about it she realizes something.
namatame thinks he can save saki from being killed bc he saw her on the midnight channel.
now adachi cooks up a wonderful idea: what better way to make a man like him suffer then to keep making him feel like he's failing people who show up on the midnight channel? and adachi? well, she's a strong woman that isn't afraid of a little collateral damage for the sake of cruel and unusual punishment used on a man. even if the collateral damage is a whole teenage girl.
sometimes when adachi thinks too hard about it she probably feels some guilt about saki, but she justifies that by telling herself the girl was already a workaholic, she was struggling, facing the perils of rumors about her being a pathetic and easy girl (cough cough adachi is projecting cough). death was an easy way out for a girl like that. early on she tells herself she gave saki some kind of mercy killing, but the closer adachi gets to losing it near endgame she sheds any guilt she may have had about it and wholeheartedly believes that death was a better avenue for saki and it was necessary to ruin namatame (and by this point also to fuck with narukami bc whatever they got goin on is fucking weird). (a mildly relevant sidenote for saki's death: I'm not a yosuke hater, but fem adachi sure is)
regarding other possible victims, do I think adachi would kill anyone else by pushing them into the tv herself? hm probably not. Not bc she doesn't want to, or didn't derive some satisfaction or perceived usefulness out of the first two, but bc I see adachi as an opportunist killer. any version of adachi is smart as hell despite being a piece of shit, and although fem adachi would have no qualms about eventually killing namatame once he was no longer fun to mess with, getting more premeditated might leave more room for error in her eyes, specifically once she convinced namatame to kidnap people on the midnight channel. once namatame is kidnapping people she knows that means she would have to get to whoever shows on the midnight channel before he does, which is too much of a hassle. also killing someone who wasn't on the midnight channel means she would inadvertently break the pattern of the first two even if the body would be found in the same state. it could also discourage namatame, and if someone realizes the break in the pattern AND if anybody gets caught, authorities might realize there are two murderers AKA it's too risky. the other reason is it's a very tight window for adachi to kill anyone else anyway bc once yukiko is thrown in, anyone thrown in after that might get saved by the IT.
she still throws in mitsuo tho and that was probably her favorite tv toss. that kid definitely pissed her off more then mayumi, for obvious reasons, and (with the exception of narukami) I think fem adachi has a special hatred in her heart reserved for teenage boys.
for fem adachi, she is perfectly satisfied having her little rat namatame run around thinking he's playing hero and causing an absolute mess, she loves ruining a man's life <3 she also doesn't mind knowing dojima is getting put thru the ringer while they're at work, and once she realizes narukami's involved she is interested in seeing what he does bc she's got a weird thing about narukami that's way too much explaining here (but its definitely still got to do with her projecting her issues w men onto him btw). adachi's also enjoying it for the exact same reason as in canon as well. its fun to her, a miserable workaholic who hates her job and the town she lives in.
lastly, I want to thank you for the ask!! I love getting to talk about stuff like this. it's the highlight of my week, and if you personally have other thoughts to share about fem adachi, man I'd love to hear em. this goes for anyone by the way. come scream at me please. here's bonus art for making it to the bottom of this:
thank yoooou for this in depth answer! I loved reading it! I think your justifications for the mayumi and saki killing absolutely make sense. I think part of me is unsure what would be the impetus for her to go confront mayumi if not the whole "thinking they were soulmates" thing after watching the midnight channel the first time, but it could be that 1) femadachi feels more comfortable approaching women, as a woman, than canon adachi might (as you said, he's opportunistic and I dont think he would have sought mayumi/ thought he had a chance with her were it not for the "sign" the tv gave him) and 2) because of the added internalized misogyny aspect to her character, maybe the chaos of mayumi coming to town and the proximity of all the bullshit finally sets her off to the point where she feels she NEEDS to vent her frustrations to the (misattributed) source (perhaps akin to how canon adachi is viciously jealous of namatame, femadachi is really jealous of mayumi and seeing her on the TV is the last straw lol).
or maybe she does still think mayumi is her soulmate after seeing her on the midnight channel and gets all weird about that (decides to confront her for that reason but gets too carried away with accusations and anger and accidentally kills a woman... similar to canon adachi but with the added spice of women hating women lol)
would love to hear your Dojima family thoughts too! definitely agree that the gender change would make the dynamics shift
also the bonus drawing at the end AHHH she's so beautiful I love her 🥺🥺🥺 thank you so much for the food!!
Hehehe okay now hear me out.. what if it was both? femadachi's inciting incident for confronting mayumi being her jealousy/disgust AND her thinking mayumi is her soulmate.
I didn't mention it before but femadachi strikes me as someone who's not entirely straight, but is never going to confront that part of herself. Ever. She's the type of woman who thinks she's jealous of someone like mayumi bc she wanted to be her but deep down she wants to be WITH someone like her. You could hold femadachi at gun point and her internalized homophobia would probably never let her admit it tho.
So she thinks mayumi's her soulmate. She's shocked bc "a woman?? My soulmate??" She realizes it's mayumi and immediately turns whatever gay thoughts she has into twisted jealousy + disgust. Now all that bigotry in femadachi's head is fighting, she's confused and angry, and decides to confront mayumi about it. Heat of the moment type things.
But now I definitely have to dedicate a post to femadachi's dynamics w the dojima family sometime soon
