Last poster before threadlock gets a cookie (cookie thread (Part 7)) (Part 8)

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 I’m 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

realistically this isn’t 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 don’t 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 ā€œcisā€ people realise what’s behind every mirror they see.

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, it’s so fucking beautiful, and I want people to understand that.

yeah
to some extent i have to acknowledge that I struggle to ā€˜get it’ when it comes to the trans experience
I would like to understand it but I really just can’t
well the euphoria over picking a new name for myself could be handwaved but honestly I still haven’t processed 2020-2021 me

i mean, it’s quite simple. i can’t return to the world of illusion. it’s like… you’re in Plato’s Cave, and you realise that the sillhouettes on the cave wall not only aren’t the real world, but they’re rather behind a curtain. that they’ve 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.

gay yosuke is canon. if it’s not explicitly canon, then there’s a note in the writer’s 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
that’s 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 I’m 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.

and he does it
fucking constantly
