who had "damon nothingburger blackmail reveal" on their bingo card

[kasane-poteto-chip]

huh?? Has it been revealed??

[maitsuwu]

Azure was given the chapter 2 script and has been drawing portions of it over time, and just posted Damon's and Kai's blackmail. Here it is.

The art is very good obv no shade to Azure, but I am annoyed that the writers weren't really going to do anything interesting here. It sounds like the only blackmail that would be interesting at all would be Wolfgang's, Desmond's, Grace's, and Jean's. Maybe Jett's but it seems that never matters.

It's disappointing to me, putting aside how hyped up I was about what Damon's could have been. At most it can be read as a reference to the tree of good and evil in the garden but it still lacks any relevance. Literally the side he's on is completely decided by a coinflip... 😭

hey. don’t worry. damon maitsu covered in blood <3

[maitsuwu]

but like why does every genderbend art of characters need to be of her holding her arm demurely and wearing lipstick and makeup and having long wavy hair and being friendly/cutesy. why does that happen almost every single time i see that. what's up

Today I had a dream where they cancelled me on twitter (??) for using this image on my art posts (interpretation from memory)

[se0o]

Lalalala~~

[ray-quay]

thinking about damon having a habit of skipping meals derived from attempting to lessen the financial pressure on his parents… imagining a younger damon feeling like he has an obligation to relieve his parents of their stress and tries to in any way he can. he eats less. studies more. never really asks for things. GODDD

No matter how hard I try,

I can’t keep you out

❌👎 BAD ❌👎 trans representation >:(

isn’t perfect and does bad things because they’re human

internal issues which stop them from being themself, such as internalized transphobia and/or misogyny and/or etc

maintains a persona that you are meant to dissect as the audience

based on the trans author’s lived experiences

✅🎉 GOOD ✅🎉 trans representation :D

fully transitioned (what cis people expect)

always nice to everyone (we don’t want cis people to know we have emotions!!)

either no issues with being trans or mentions them like one time (explicitly diving into trans issues can make cis viewers uncomfortable :/)

is trans

Damon as Joker from Persona 5 (phantom thief outfit & Shujin uniform)

some ramblings about this crossover under cut (P5 spoilers!!)

wrote a lot of notes in a separate DM for an AU surrounding this (P5 x PJEG) involving the other characters and their respective roles. will make a post about it later once I get some sketches out

[mimicantcount]

Imagine being Damon post chapter three. The one person you trusted at the start betrayed hou and died. After a bit, you open your heart against to trust someone else... Then they die too. The killer is a fourteen year old who is so clearly scared and so clearly hurting and you're the one who inadvertently sentences her to death by making the accusation that ultimately damns her.

And after all this, the light at the end of the tunnel? The glimmer of hope that shines through at last?

There is none. You're a dead man walking—Your time is limited by a stupid decision you made and now you know you're never going to see the mom and dad you love so much again. And even with what time you do have left, you're trapped in a Killing Game where everyone you cared for has died and you just don't get along with the group.

But here's the thing: You could go home to your Mom and Dad again. You could save your own skin and get the hell out of here. It would be so, so easy. Your death sentence is also your greatest weapon. You have a free kill, and once you use it, the crime will likely be impossible to trace back to you. The others will die and you'll get off scott-free.

Using it seems like the obvious option: All the people in here that you did strongly care about are gone, your family is outside and depending on you to come back and support them, and not doing this will quite literally mean your death. You'll be sacrificing yourself for people that have generally shunned you since the start.

But you—Damon—did not use it. He didn't take the free kill that could've gotten him out of the killing game even though it meant ending his own life.

And I think that says a lot about who he really is as a person.
