the prologue before you get your persona and transition is Uncomfortably long.
Persona 6 is designed to piss every hardcore Persona fan the fuck off, you see.
I hope i was able to translate my ramblings
feel free to ask questions because Iām translating something I came to a conclusion on while having a conversation, which is harder for my brain to put into text than if it started as a conclusion on text
this shit is going to be Ergodic for quite a while, until it suddenly starts to click and move at a better pace
realistically this isnāt actually Persona, but I do think a game about transgender psychics living a double life akin to Persona would go fucking hard
also because, like. i donāt know i just think there should be some accessible way for cis people to experience the joys and sorrows of transgender existence. This is not just because it will make more ācisā people realise whatās behind every mirror they see.
You enter the Metaverse/Shadow Realm/Tartarus through a mirror.
the fact that none of the phantom thieves were explicitly lgbt+ was a waste of the mask theming
but also, because, like. this experience, this life, this community, this way of being, itās so fucking beautiful, and I want people to understand that.
true
yeah
to some extent i have to acknowledge that I struggle to āget itā when it comes to the trans experience
I would like to understand it but I really just canāt
well the euphoria over picking a new name for myself could be handwaved but honestly I still havenāt processed 2020-2021 me
i mean, itās quite simple. i canāt return to the world of illusion. itās like⦠youāre in Platoās Cave, and you realise that the sillhouettes on the cave wall not only arenāt the real world, but theyāre rather behind a curtain. that theyāve been waiting for you this whole time.
i am willing to bear any sorrow for the sake of the inexorable joy of authenticity. and I want everyone in the world to experience their own verison of this.
yeah
gay yosuke is canon. if itās not explicitly canon, then thereās a note in the writerās room to write yosuke as a gay man
one of my close friends has a gotdamn FOLDER of things yosuke has said and/or done which are easy to read as gay
well i understand in theory
i understand a lot of things in theory
how that affects daily activities, how that affects thought process, etc
thatās where I struggle to say things with any confidence
but, you know, i only fundamentally, on every level, understand myself. I understand many other things, of course, but not to the same level. still, I know that Iām not the only one like this. so, you know, I extend the branch. the world needs trans women more than it needs miserable but kind men.
last time I checked it had like 100 entries
the funniest thing is (while I acknowledge translation can muddy things this is still funny) yosuke is the only guy to refer to the MC as partner
and he does it
fucking constantly
gay yosuke was canon until the confession was removed from his social link
correct
