Thank you for indulging me with my last question, i was seriously expecting it to never reach the light of day lol. I do have another tho! How would the ROs/guys react when they first discover that MC has an erogenous zone (Or is sensitive) Along their lower back? Like their mid to low back? I can imagine Amir and Akello discovering it by accident when they gently brush their hand along MCs back to guide them somewhere and the MCs back just shoots straight up and starts blushing because oops, now the MC needs a moment to calm down (Bonus if the MC get's flustered at them finding out)

Prepare for this to be weaponized fully! Though the guys have different methods for exploiting this to their own ends.

Mori absolutely overuses it. Convo he doesn’t really wanna have? Stopped paying to him?? He’s got nasty curious little goblin fingers that are going up the back of your shirt. Honestly, I think Marcel may be in this camp too!?

You’re pretty spot on about Amir and Akello, they’re both a lot more subtle with this new found power… though I think Amir is way more prone to abusing this, especially in public and ESPECIALLY as a tease for what’s to come later. Amir’s definitely prime to drag his nails over your clothes too just to garner a reaction.

Raath lacks subtly so if he’s going to do this he’ll over do- most likely to just find a way to bite any sensitive spot he can exploit.

Kazu is somewhere in the middle, I can see him keeping his hand to the small of MC’s back all the time but also I can see him getting pissy and jealous if someone else touches MC there- even innocently.

RO's reactions to a mc who will utterly throw down for them? Especially a smaller scrappy one punching way above their weight class? I'm a tiny 5' tall man and my mc is equally short and full of short rage and he's absolutely on sight with Raath.

There’ s really nothing I love more than some rabid little short stack throwing caution and sense to the wind because someone is asking for an asskicking, it’s just such a delightful trope.

Akello: pinching the bridge of his nose, grabbing MC by the scruff. He can handle himself for one (not that he doesn’t appreciate the sentiment). For two, he’d rather try DEescalating before throwing hands. Will glue MC to the ceiling or make a Child Leash out of slime to keep them in check if necessary. Secretly can’t help but find it endearing, however.

Amir: Actively encouraging it. Delighting in situations where MC starts rolling their sleeves up and/or taking off their earrings. Will intervene if necessary but he’s totally content to play Princess to MC’s white knight.

Mori: Physically incapable of resisting a fight. Appreciates what you’re doing but will be right there with you, bouncing on the balls of his feet and ready to- at worst- play tag team with MC. Mostly likely situation though, is him jumping directly into the fray so you can live out your arcade beat ‘em up.

Kazu: will scruff or grab MC’s skull and pull them back… He’s the trained and decorated martial artist, HE’s the junkyard doberman guard dog, plz let him do the protecting. Is not above complimenting the way you ball your fist though.

Raath: Delight. Will egg you on to see how far you go, mostly likely to yell FINISH HIM

Marcel: LOUD and animated cheering. This is going up on tiktok and you’re going viral.

I was insanely busy this week so i'm a day late but around THESE parts we celebrate fictional character birthdays!!

Yesterday was Akellos and as a little visual treat, here are some clippings from my personal character wiki:

And silly Persona AU associations:

okay but ROs when you have a super obvious praise kink? You know Amir is gonna be devious but I'm curious about the others

There's a little bit of deviousness all around to be honest. Most of the guys aren't above teasing an obvious weakness for praise >:)

mori - Goes Extra. Love dumps on you and smothers you with praise as loudly and as publicly as possible in the hopes of making you overheat and explode.

amir - Horrible. Is an expert at walking the line between praise that gets you hot and praise that gets you flustered AND praise that does both. Will utilize whichever one he feels will make the most interesting reaction at the moment.

akello - LEAST likely to embarrass you in public, but he does file the information away for when he needs it later. Is a fan of innocuous little touches that reinforce his words, so expect head pats in addition to expressions of praise.

Hiii , dropping this soft lil heart-aching ask real quick 🥺🫂

How do you think the ROs would react to/vibe with a MC who's like... a genuine, fearless star who got absolutely wrecked by all the pressure, hate, and trauma? But she survived it by turning every ounce of that pain into raw, beautiful art, and now she's just... living super lowkey, far away from the spotlight, healing in her own quiet way? (i feel like amir would totally get her and sympathize so hard :D )"

That's it, thank you sm for reading/answering ily bunches 🫶✨

OOF the Angst- this is so juicy!!

I think obviously Amir would be really keyed into this, because he knows how the arts/entertainment world can be absolutely ruthless, but I think he also knows that it's the process and the passion that are ultimately the most important. Like obviously, we create to share with others but first we have to create for ourselves and he'd recognize that what MC put into their work was a matter of heart. And that when that sorta crashes and burns, it leaves you with a weird relationship with creativity. Amir's always been wary of artistic fame cause I think he's hyperaware of the commodification and parasocial toxicity.

I think also Mori would be pretty in tune with this, too, because even though he's pretty small time as far as fame goes, he plays the kinds of crowds that will literally throw bottles or stampede if they don't like him/his band and he recognizes the very real unpredictability of the crowd and the sometimes unhealthy way people attach themselves and their emotions to semi-public figures.

I don't think Akello would be bad at this, but I do think he'd be a little on the "if you're passionate about art, make art" and maybe be a little confused with the healing process if it doesn't focus on make a different or new kind of art. His primary concern is need fulfillment, and he would see a creative outlet as a stat or something that needs constant maintenance for optimal Emotional State. It's hard to fully grasp that while that might be true, it's also true that MC is burned out and ready to keep things quiet and self-focused for a while.

I was wondering if it was possible for demons to bring someone back to life? Would the person they revived need to become a demon as well, not necessarily or not possible at all to revive them?Also would there exist a time limit for it? like no bringing back someone after a certain amount of time has passed.

And finally; let’s say your characters and MC met under different circumstances, are in a relationship and none of them is a demon. If the MC died and they had the opportunity to bring them back through a contract, who would do it?

I’ve been creating scenarios in my head if it wasn’t obvious already 😵‍💫

It IS possible if the demon is strong enough and the body is very freshly dead! The longer it sits the harder it is to magic back together so to speak. Theoretically, the only real limit would be determined by a demon’s individual power- the stronger they are the more juice they have to breathe some life back into a corpse. It’s not necessary for the revived person to become a demon themselves (though that does make it easier on the demon doing the reviving since you turning them into a demon makes them more resilient during the revival process) but someone will have to offer up a hefty price to convince a demon to go through that much trouble. I would say that the only physical limitation on this is that a demon would probably need a mostly-intact body to work with in terms of resurrection. Things can get weird if there’s pieces missing.

I can see Mori maaaaayyyyybe being altruistic enough to take a deal to save a stranger, but I think Amir and Akello have a lot of obligations that might make them hesitate. It’s not that they’re not good people, but Amir’s wrapped up in vengeance and Akello’s wrestling with what his obligations as a father and ex husband are. Wildly enough, I think Raath might but absolutely not with good intentions in mind. He’d do it in a “ha now you owe me supremely” dumbass way.

for all six characters: who would have a fancy wedding and who is just going to the courthouse?

Akello: Courthouse (but isn’t opposed to doing a ceremony at a cute church or something)

Amir: Probably a quiet engagement party and a Huuuuuuuuuge fuck off fancy wedding in a castle or something

Mori: Maybe not FANCY fancy but book a big venue cause he’s gonna invite everyone he knows

Kazu: Would PREFER to keep it low key but also the courthouse makes him kinda nervous

Marcel: HUGE big fancy wedding and he’s inviting his whole university

Raath: Probably best to keep it to the courthouse…. I feel like a big event might get him Weird.

[tricitymonsters]

Just curious; what would all the main guys + Kazu and Raath be like with someone who they're legitimately in love with?

Akello: pretty soft and noticeably more relaxed, feels like he can let his guard down. Very protective.

Mori: Clingy af, mayhaps a little TOO comfortable around his s.o., wants to be in proximity as much as humanly possible

Amir: Guarded glances, let's his guard down more, infodumps like craaaaazy, will let you watch him paint

Marcel: Plays it a little more seriously for once, isn't afraid to say how he feels, shows you off to his friends Kazu: Full Doberman Mode, even MORE protective, looming constantly, feeds you, gets grumbly/jealous pretty easy. you see him belly laugh for the first time

Raath: Stinky little freak man. Never too far from you, Jealous, Possessive, brags a lot, tries to bait you into arguments cause he thinks you're funny when you're mad, lets you punch him maybe
