I think I've got a new obsession...

『別冊BIG GORO 素足のアイドルたち』 (小学館) 1980年7月初版
i have strong opinions on goro akechi here are a few of them. robin hood is actually more important than people give him credit for; i was writing a whole analysis on this the other week before work got busy third semester akechi isn't "real akechi"; it's another mask. his detective prince mask certainly isn't going to work on the phantom thieves anymore after they saw his engine room breakdown but he still needs to keep them all emotionally at an arms length. so what does he do? he makes himself purposefully all sadistic and unhinged and scary so the thieves look at him and go "something is *definitely* wrong with him" and are unnerved by him and don't try to get close to him. he's a good actor, as shown by the detective prince charade akechi never hated the detective prince persona as much as he acts like he does. sure he also couldn't quite adore it 100% unburdened as he probably wished to but i personally believe that, for the most part, he enjoyed it; however he's deeply uncomfortable with the fact that the memory is tainted with his utter lowest (the engine room) and the mask shattered apart in such an ugly way. so after the fact he lies to himself to be all revisionist. "actually the detective prince was a stupid mask, lmfao. i never rly gave a single shit about it other than needing it for my plan. i had to bend myself out of shape and make myself all palatable to people, which fucking sucked, and what's worse, those fools all bought it. whatever, i couldn't give a singular shit." because it would hurt more to admit that he enjoyed it and lost something he genuinely kind of cared about. i imagine he quite liked playing up the prince charming role because it allowed him to turn off the bitter angry hurt part of his brain that he wished wasn't there and just be pretty and successful and adored. escapism
this is mostly hc but i imagine part of why he hated joker is that he found out he had to kill joker after telling joker abt his mother. akechi spent this extended period of over a month grappling with having to kill the one guy he's finally getting close to. and in doing so he and joker barely see each other for like a month (this is canon to the game's timeline, btw) and while akechi silently struggles alone with this joker is. doing fine (despite the phantom thieves on the whole Not Doing Well) and doesn't even notice akechi hasn't shown up in a hot minute. and akechi does not take this well
akechi with a s/o who works at a maid cafe
pairing: goro akechi x gn!reader
tags: jealous & protective!akechi, wholesome fluff, suggestive at the end, established romantic relationship
akechi isn't interested in most things people consider popular or trendy. he's more old fashioned in that regard, preferring a jazz bar over a cute new cafe. but if that cafe has you as a waiter, he might make an exception…
honestly, akechi would never set foot inside a maid cafe if it wasn't for you! he finds it embarrassing to have people recognize him there, but puts up with it, as long as he gets to see you!
you're by far the cutest maid at the cafe! and it's not just akechi who thinks that, but many of the customers there as well. you always get the most tips and customers specifically request you for their tables
akechi often lingers around the maid cafe you work at, just to keep an eye on you. he knows that kind of men frequent those places, so he just wants to make sure nobody gets any dumb ideas regarding you!
he's definitely a little jealous and overly protective of you, but you're the most important person in his life, so how could he not be worried about you all the time?
though all his worries and jealousy stops as soon as akechi gets to see you in that pretty maid dress. how can he think about anything else when you look this good in it!?
akechi definitely makes you take the maid dress home sometimes, even if you're not supposed to. but he just loves to see you in it and when nobody else is around, he can take full advantage of that outfit…

so...... theres this one japanese fighting game....
the friendships from the 1995 mortal kombat kard game.
found out about these this week and i thought i should share with you
EDIT - added in jade, kintaro and smoke. turns out they have friendships too. but they sounded more like attacks than friendships.
by the way, if you want to look at the kards…
