I think the most hollowing and tragic part of Joker + Akechi is how much we imagine it could have gone right. Akechi says it himself, he wishes that they would have met a year or two earlier. Things would have gone differently. Maybe they would've been friends. Maybe even lovers. But one of the best things that Persona 5 has to offer is that thematically, it could've never happened on this timeline. And that's why we love it to death
reo: hime cut with straight across bangs and big ringlet curls (basically the same haircut as claire from i'm in love with the villianess) except the face-framing bits are asymmetrical like canon!reo's bangs are. puts it in a braid when playing
nagi: cloud hair. she cuts it (by which i mean she makes reo cut it or reo drags her to a salon) once or twice a year when it gets too long to comfortably tie up, reaching her lower back or so. gets it cut into canon!nagi's hairstyle each time and immediately following the cut is the only time her hair is not a tangled mess. she tends to use clips to bundle her hair on top of her head when it gets annoying
shido: fem!shido is 1000% a gyaru so she does all sorts of fun styling with it off the field, so it's fairly long to make sure she can do so. her favorite go-tos are double buns and a y2k teased look. on the soccer field it's always up in a spiky ponytail
sae: feathered wolf cut, reaching her shoulders. she had microbangs as a kid. puts it up in a bun at the top of her head and clips her bangs out of her face while playing
rin: long hair with an emo side bang. literally just canon!rin's hair but a lot longer. always wears a high ponytail
chigiri: two ways i go on this- either fem!chigiri is the bifauxen prince, in which case she's got the same hair as kashima from gekkan shoujo nozaki-kun, or she's still femme, in which case it's the same as canon.
kunigami: the most dykey mullet you've ever seen
bachira: basically the same as canon, maybe a little longer. she does low pigtails a lot
isagi: ehhh probably fairly short but not short enough for it to be A Thing, like to her upper back. straight without layers
otoya: same as canon, maybe with an undercut. i am a butchy fuckboy lesbian fem!eita truther
karasu: surprise surprise, another wolf cut. probably longer than sae's tho. still has those fuckass geometric bangs somehow
hiroi: probably a feathery jellyfish cut bc i think it'd look cute
that's all i can think of that i care enough abt to have actual opinions on. moral of the story is they're all gay and i love women
Goro Akechi is so dramatic. The way he hypes himself up as the villain behind the scenes to the general public. It's interesting as it fuels his own self perception as the monster he forced himself to become over the years in a desperate attempt to gain Shido's love and affection.
It's multifaceted, Shidou's love - nigh on obsession - with consent.
He loves hearing you say you want him. It's an ego thing, of course, the thrill of you needing him, craving him, just as much as he does you.
But theres something else.
He doesnt give a fuck about what others want him to do. Expectations, boundaries and standards. He pushes them all the time. He doesn't ask for consent when he's about to bash someone's head in for the kicks. But with you? The fact you want him there. You actually want him to touch you, as opposed to those who'd try to find the nearest exit as he enters a room. The fact you're the only person who actively wants him there? It's like a fucking drug. Speaking to his soul, in a way he feels like he's losing his mind.
It's almost agonising how much he gets you to give it. Makes you wait until you ask, give permission, beg. And each time you do it's like a shot straight through his spine, a thrill that not only electrifies his ego, but soothes that little one inside him that can't help but love to be wanted.
featuring: a sunburnt lifeguard!shido ryusei x f!reader
synopsis: being a lifeguard came with a lot of tolerance for kids, teens, and even adults that made dumb decisions in water. shido came home frustrated from work, ready to take his late night run, headphones in hand. you, after seeing his sunburn and piercings on display, had other plans.

"fuck..." shido slams the front door to his house open, whipping his arms behind his back to stretch them. he'd had a more than shitty day today.
it'd been a more than shitty day at work for him. as the first saturday of summer, he'd expected for more people to come than usual. kids, teenagers, even adults that'd been taking advantage of the weekend.
smut under the cut 0_o
what he didn't expect was for them to be do incapable of following basic rules. one whistle after the other, he'd had to dive into the ocean to save kids that failed to these rules. these were just the consequences of their own actions, he thought.
and worst of all, shido had forgotten to bring his usual sunscreen, and with none of his colleagues on duty, all he could do was pray he didn't get sunburned. and what do you know? his skin hurt to the touch.
shido slouched and walked over to grab his headphones that he'd left on the couch for his nightly jog, and as he walked over, he saw you. your legs were splayed all over the couch with nothing on but a tank top and a pair of his boxers.
he found himself chuckling at your sleepy state, instantly regretting it as your eyes squinted open. "shido?" your voice came out raspier than you'd anticipated it to be, eyes still adjusting to the dimly lit room.
"go back to sleep, i'm going back out to jog, baby." he flicks your forehead and you curse at him under your breath.
you sit up, your body now rid of all your drowsiness after seeing your boyfriend get rid of his tank top. "oh my god," you breathed out. shido turns to look down at you with a puzzled look.
"stay here, please?" you caressed his chiseled stomach as an attempt to coax him into staying, though, your touched prompted him to hiss from the pain of his sunburn.
you then notice what you'd done and pulled back your hand in a flash, apologizing. "baby, i'd stay. but you know i love runnin' in the night—and i had a fuckin' shitty day today." he sighs, ruffling your hair. "i wanna take it out with music and a jog."
you clasped his hands together with yours, slowly standing up—although it didn't help with getting to face level, you looked up at him and locked eyes. "take it out on me, please?" you bit your lip out of embarrassment. "i was waiting here at your place all day, 'm all needy shido. i need you."
his expression turned into something you couldn't read, his eyes looked at you with a blank stare, yet his eyebrows were furrowed. "shido? why won't you—" shido's pierced lips crashed onto yours, his body slouching even more to kiss you comfortably. many people had always criticized shido for getting his lips pierced, but you could confidently say you'd always melted feeling the metal on your lips.
his fingers shuffled throughout your body, ghosting by the places you'd desperately wanted him to touch. you pulled off as he got closer to his boxers you'd wearing, afraid he'd see the mess you'd already let out earlier.
shido's expression looked puzzled, he leaned into your ear, chin resting on your shoulder, "is there something you're hiding from me, cutie?" as you open your mouth to deny the fact, his tongue traces shapes on your ear, nibbling on the lobe every now and then. this draws out a moan from your sealed lips.
your effort to stop him from reaching your panties so soon was to no avail, as his finger tips made their way from groping your ass, to feeling your clothed pussy in a matter of a second.
"oh?" his long and slender fingers start rubbing back and forth at the damp spot on his boxers you wore. "were you touching yourself? it seems like my boxers aren't just wet with your slick."
your eyes stuttered and you averted your gaze away from him, a clear sign you were guilty. he growled and got on his knees to confirm he was right. sliding down your undergarments, he examines your spent pussy with it's traces of your cum.
"guess i was right," he clicked his tongue, looking up at your nervous expression. you felt your heart beat out of your chest when his eyes narrowed at you, knowing you were in for punishment.
you shut your eyes, fully expecting for shido to deny pleasing you for getting too ahead of yourself when you felt a slap on your clit. your eyes shot open out of surprise, feeling your body still recover from the high from earlier.
"you like that, huh? you fuckin' slut." he laughed at you, and you felt yourself clamp your legs shut from the second slap.
shido's eyebrows arch in confusion, he then sighs and bends down to throw you over his shoulder. "you please yourself without me and expect me to not punish you." grunting, he finally gets you over his shoulder, and despite your begging—he walks you over to his bed.
as shido places you on his bed, you start worrying how long you're going to be laying there. he asks you to spread your legs open, and who were you to disobey your boyfriend while he was all frustrated?
you got on your back with your legs spread, head resting on a pillow, arms attempting to hide your facial expression from him.
"count."
"huh?"
"so those two slaps i'd done a couple minutes ago were for nothing?"
you swallowed and nodded your head no slowly, he pets you as if to praise you for telling him what he wanted to hear before he lands another slap.
you moaned out when he slapped your clit a fourth time, already dangerously close to your high since you'd never left your last. shido looked at you intently, waiting for you.
"four.."
shido smirked at you as he picked up the pace on his slaps, egging on your orgasm. "eight.. nine... fuck—shido 'm gonna come!"
he replaced his hand with his mouth, his lips kissing and sucking on your clit. shido's lip rings only added onto the pleasure, the cold metal rings made you shiver. your vision then blurred, hands subconsciously tightening their grip on shido's disheveled hair.
you swore that there was nothing on your mind in that moment but shido, his tongue, and his mouth. and then that's when you felt a void—huh? what happened?
you opened your eyes, you looked at shido whom was now standing, covering his smile with his tanned arm. whining, you kicked at him once, which prompted him to use both arms to put you into a mating press.
"i only want you to come when i'm inside of you," he cooed, admiring your blown out pupils as he stretches your legs. "it's the least you could do for letting yourself come undone with me, right?"
you subconsciously nodded, desperately wanting to come undone at the hands of your boyfriend. he used one arm to keep your legs in place, and used the other to unzip his own pants, his cock springing out of his boxers.
it looked *so* pretty. you'd always been amazed whenever shido had whipped out his dick from his boxers. it curved slightly to the right, it wasn't too long, but it was thick—and a bit veiny you might add. with a flush pink tip.
despite having you at his mercy, he looked up with you to make a silent confirmation you wanted this. after you'd nodded, he lined himself up, and pushed himself in.
it never failed to hurt everytime he slid into you, which always made shido have to wait for you to adjust. even if that mean't gritting his teeth and gripping the sheets as he tried not to pump himself in and out of you just yet.
"m— move, uh!" before you could even finish your sentence, his pace quickly went from zero to a hundred. it had you all jittery, not knowing where to position your hands. that's when they found his back.
"fuck!" his head fell next to yours, the pain of your touch to his sunburnt skin ignited his desire for you even further. he turned his gaze to you, watching your face contort in all sorts of ways from the pleasure.
he whispered in your ear, "such a fuckin' slut, wantin' more after makin' yourself come with yer own fingers.." shido's tongue stuck out to lick and suck at your ear lobe.
your eyes shot open, the degradation caused you to clench around his length, a higher-pitched, long moan leaving shido's lips. anyone could confuse him with a dog in heat, you'd thought.
as shido found the spot that made your body all on edge, you felt the knot in your stomach come undone. you pressed your fingers and it's nails even harder into his back, leaving a bloody mark in it's trail.
"ryu.. ryu, i'm coming!" your breath became heavy, and shido kept thrusting into you, although sloppy, you'd thought he was chasing his own high. he came outside, his come dripping from your stomach onto your pussy. and—oh. wait what?
shido thrusted back inside of you, his breath growing ragged. "shido, 's too much wait!" his pace was sloppy yet deep and sensual, room filled with loud moans from both you and shido.
he loved the feeling of his cock getting sucked deep inside your cunt, but even more than that, he loved the pain he felt when you dug your nails into his skin. and paired with his sunburn? oh god. although he felt overwhelmed by all the pleasure too, he wanted to punish you. even if it mean't coming undone himself.
this went on for maybe two or three more times, til' shido pulled out, his thighs shaking next to yours. he took his arm off of your legs, letting them rest, crouching down next to you to cool off for a minute or too.
"thank you, baby." he sighed out in between breaths. "i feel— i feel better now. i don't feel as frustrated.. anymore."
you weakly smiled, turning your face to him. a way of saying, your welcome. his forehead pressed against yours, landing a short and sweet kiss on your lips.
though both overstimulated, you wished it could've went on longer. not for the pleasure, but just for being in your boyfriend's grasp, at his mercy.
after all, you did love shido ryusei—sunburns and all.
