Futaba Sakura - Blog Posts
I never finished this one but maybe someone would like to see it! Futaba Sakura from Persona 5... and the three mascots of the series ha ha. Her outfit and the keychain are both the ones she’s wearing in that Soejima Artworks cover.
Futaba and Haru sketch from 2017! I love my Persona girls *sobs*
Not sure if anyone’s done this...so I’ll just leave it right here...
The Phantom Thieves: *steals heart and gains fame*
Akechi:
I wanted to add more to this, thanks to this wonderful Commenter
I think what would happen is that if things don’t go their way, they cause mental shut downs. And instead of Akechi having to fight the ruler of the palace (though he will have to fight them) as the final boss of it, it would be one of the Phantom Thieves. Basically, going to try and get the other group to his side. I think it would go backwards with the groups as well. Such as you start with Ryuji/Ann/Morgana in the first palace. Instead, you get Haru, Futaba, and maybe Makoto (I haven’t decided if I wanna put Morgana earlier on, either).
Haru would be a boss that’s in the middle of the palace, because honestly joined out of her own corrupted mind due to not being around good influences, Futaba watches over stuff, and honestly starting to question shit because Mommy issues (kinda, she dies later on in this version (THIS TIME I THINK IT’S A JOKER ISSUE)), and and Makoto just wants to add more to her father’s regimen so that they could get a higher position.
Those that would be more easily swayed into joining the good of Akechi’s side.
Those more difficult though would be Ann, Morgana, and Ryuji, with obviously Joker being the Final boss.
Ann probably already deals with comments on her, and she also probably has a shit ton of stuff to say about things anyways. She wants others to feel the pain of sexualizing and stuff, so thus joining in to help give the pain more. In this version, her and Shido aren’t friends, due to her own toxicity and Shido deciding it wasn’t good to be around her (Shido left before Kamoshida, she left to get away from Ann. Shido still plays professional Volleyball : D)
Ryuji, as we know from Shu’s confidant stuff, has been through HELL… In this version, he sorta become spiteful to those around, especially because of his dad and his shit. Father’s anger comes through. He was a bully once, before he found out ways to tear others down and then making them dependable on him. It was that sort of thing that made him ‘popular.’
Morgana is so caught up in Joker that there isn’t anything you can do, other than it’s like the final Akechi battle. His views doesn’t change, but in all actuality, hd probably wants to kill off Joker. Just so then he could be seen as better. (No, Joker doesn’t kill Morgana. Our wonderful cat is safe)
Lastly is Akira/Ren. He is basically like the Final Final boss, instead of Yaldabaoth. It’s a final stand off of Joker vs Crow, both ready to take the other down. Satanel is used by Joker, this time around, and Akechi gains basically Yaldabaoth, basically a switch of things. The Igor that is present in the Velvet room isn’t Yaldy (nickname given by another friend I don’t think uses Tumblr-).
It’s the original Igor, he’s just an asshole who decided ‘fuck humanity’. Yaldy is who had been guiding Akechi to help spar humanity from ruin of it killing itself out of Joker’s guidance.
The question of if Joker dies at the end or not depends on what route you take when you go with him, and how you behave with him.
Yeah, more stuff like that.
Quick edit: I FORGOT YUSUKE- IM SORRY MY AUTISTIC PAINTER. Uh, so, he’s when the game gets tougher, as he’s kinda a dick about it. He didn’t exactly want to switch over, but ends up really liking it over there. Just…kinda an asshole, but hoping he’s finally making his mother proud instead of staying in anger.
Hi everyone!!
So, me and a wonderful friend (that goes by @crowisinthetrash) and I were talking about a Persona 5 AU of ours.
It’s an opposite one. Where the Phantom Thieves choose to corrupt instead of purify. Where they make palaces instead of destroying them.
Where all they wish to do is cause pain their lives gave them.
….
And then Akechi is here like ‘My dad’s great! Oh shit, people are trying to tear down his work > : 0’ and proceeds to be the ‘good’ of the story.
So, yeah. That’s the basics right now. Wanna know Tumblr’s thoughts.

Bunch of persona 5 sketches for an au made to keep myself awake in class
This is absolutely amazing!!! I love it so so much!!!💙💙💙
all of the dnd character sheets i drew for the phantom thieves!! more details for all of them (spells, skill proficiences etc) are on my twitter
It's called a "call and response" and a lot of peoples brains are just hot wired to finish the other half! Think the Adams Family with the snapping, no matter what when most people hear "da da da dum" they are gonna snap or make the sound however they can to finish it!
idk if this is just an american thing, but do you guys remember when ur teacher would do this little rhythm of sounds and the children would respond with like the end notes and then they were expected to be quiet?? yeah thats what happening in this comic
Futaba being Yusuke's big spoon is like peak big brain. My boy Yusuke probably hasn't been held in someones arms since he was three without it being some bullshit that built his stockholm issues. And Futaba needs to be able to stay grounded and to know that everything is real and not going to disappear, that she's not hurt and alone anymore. What better way to fix this touch starvation then by wrapping yourself around your willowy date mate like an octopus and not letting go so both of you can self heal.
I want to make individual Drabbles for each of the little prompt things
WE ARE SO BACK
Das riight, I've finally made some decent progress in my fanfic endeavors and we are continuing Ume's story!
This time it is a bridge fanfic that I hope you will enjoy!
(Imma tag everyone who appears in this mess teehee)
This is a joke don’t get mad
OMG HAI so glad you askeddd I have like. Everything planned out for this au
‼️Huge spoilers for persona 5 base game hehe
I mentioned this in the tags in my first post but in my head the persona characters are functionally the owl house characters but I still want them to have their backstories and stuff and like i tweek the oh characters just a bit cos there are so many phantom thieves lol. so think of it as like a swap au but not really ok
Sojiro-> Eda
Sae-> Lilith
Futaba-> King
Ren/Akira-> Luz
Ryuji-> Gus
Ann-> Willow
Makoto-> amity
Akechi-> amity/hunter
Shido-> belos
For yusuke Haru and morgana Im just straight up using their p5 backstories
Yusuke is a student at st. Epiderm and he’s in the illusion track (cos one it’s blue and two he can use it for creative stuff I believe in him) he’s still under the tutelage of maderame and he still steals yusukes and all of his students hard work and ren/akira and the gang (Ann, ryuji) have to take yusuke into maderame’s brain à la understanding willow and show him maderame’s true nature and he confronts maderame in his brain and kinda “changes his heart” huge air quotes
Haru is the daughter of potion coven head kunikazu okumura and she is very skilled in plant magic, but to uphold her fathers legacy she is put in the potions track (like willow omg) her father is kidnapped shortly before the day of unity, blame for his murder being put on the “phantom thieves” after he is found dead in a prison cell
Morgana is. In this one. An actual monster cat, he’s like the bipedal monsters in the show and he finds ren/akira not too long from when he falls into this world and “takes him under his wing” he’s in the baby class at hexide and uses his new ride to scare the other kids into doing things for him this is how ren/akira finds himself in hexide and finds the school endearing (he’s only seen the baby class)
Makoto is less of amity in the way that they’re rivals to lovers (unless you want that im open to it) but more of Makoto is the star student and a very skilled witch and ren and co are wreaking havoc all around campus
Their tracks
Ren- multi tracks (excels in oracle magic though)(Arsene is a ghost he’s besties w)
Morgana- baby track he hasn’t decided yet
Ryuji- originally in the potions track but got lippy with the grudgby coach and got switched to the detention track
Ann- abomination
Yusuke- illusion
Makoto- healing
Futaba- oracle (because it’s funny)
Haru- plant (originally in potions)
Akechi- emperors coven/ multi track in his school (favoritism 🙄) also peep the parallels to ren/akira
I imagine sojiro is in a coffee lovers coven or something that’d be really funny
Anyway yeah I’m prolly gonna draw more soon but hehehehehehe
drew the phantom girlies in some of my fits
Finally finished this little project. All the thieves as crepes! part 1.
THIS. THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT SHOULD’VE HAPPENED, INSTEAD OF THAT TONE DEAF SLAPSTICK NONSENSE.
May we all forget the worst scene after Shido’s palace ever happened, and replace with Ryuji actually getting the cheers and appreciation he deserves 🙏
Meeting your idol
Sumire/Futaba
@troubled-bog-witch I agree with this! What they did under a deadline that had the people they're around in danger—like Haru, Shiho, Yusuke, etc—those were all cases where their use of an alternate world full of danger that they barely understand the effects of is a valid tool to save those lives. But to claim that this is something they can, or rather should use to reform society as a whole is a very impulsive decision. It is worse in Strikers, where they are faced with a completely new form of this world and they immediately jump to using that to reform society too. They don't even think about the potential dangers of Jails, and yet they see their actions as morally sound from the start. This gets worse later when- actually, spoilers for Strikers
It gets revealed that the Jails are maliciously created, and that this isn't actually a resurgence of the Metaverse they knew. This is a tool being used to control people, the very thing people implied the Phantom Thieves could do. The Metaverse always has been exploitable, and this game proves this. In emergencies where people's lives are in danger, when safety is most important, changing hearts is effective. But these kids are in way over their head, and I think they (especially Ren) got extremely lucky in how things ended. Insane responsibility to be placed on Ren by the way, I don't see many people talk about how these teenagers were the final force against the end of the world multiple times.
Hey, so I don't want to be that guy, but when are we going to acknowledge that Akechi was right?
No, I obviously don't mean about the things he was very clearly wrong about. I'm referring to the things he says in interviews about the Phantom Thieves. I hate how many people switch up after playing through his betrayal who previously agreed with his views, because nothing he said is wrong and nothing he did changes that fact. He speaks in the TV Station on the objective facts that he should know about, and with or without the context of his form of justice those facts stay true. It's a fallacy to claim that his form of justice being universally less approved of makes the Phantom Thieves better by comparison, or discredits anything he said. I don't think the Phantom Thieves are evil, or that they should necessarily be imprisoned, but I do think that they are not morally sound. They're kids. Prior to his betrayal I think he served his purpose well, but it's easy to disregard the validity of his words when you find out that he's a murderer. With the knowledge he SHOULD have had (and that many DID have), everything he says is true. And honestly? It still can be true for basically the entire plot of the game. Mishima's confidant tests the thieves in that way. They could have changed the hearts of anyone who's not a persona user, for any personal reason. It's a slippery slope.
I'll use these three options as an example for why he's right:
"They're justice itself" is just subjective and incorrect, because justice as a concept is individualized and given how each Phantom Thief has different reasons for being one it's ridiculous for even them to say. Their first target was before they even formed a group, and Ann was ready to kill Kamoshida. The others were not even going to step in, and they were going to respect her choice either way. All the members are so different, so this is an insane claim to make.
"They're necessary" is wrong because to say they are necessary is pretty disingenuous to all "justice" that has ever happened BEFORE they existed. I don't believe that the Thieves were a necessity per say, and personally I think their actions can only be judged on a case by case basis. Some Mementos targets for example have issues that stem beyond what they have done. Now they have their desires stolen but still have the issue that pushed them to immortality in the first place, plus a shitton of guilty baggage. The Thieves only help with the atonement, but not the push. How many of those people didn't just go right back to their past behaviors? How many of them got worse in other ways? Think about Futaba, she felt so guilty for something she thought she did, she formed a palace to condemn herself to die alone. To claim the Thieves are necessary to reform society implies that their method is the most effective, and I think that's a lot to claim for something they don't understand.
"They do more than the cops" I almost agree with. Legally the police in Japan in this game anyway (yes I'm aware it extends to reality in many ways, but I'm referring to just the game right now) are corrupt and flawed for the most part, but the thing I don't agree with is that this makes the Thieves a better alternative. They're not. For the same reason Yoshizawa says later, the Thieves can only do so much as vigilantes, and to imply that society should rely on these faceless nameless flawed people to fix society is not any better than what they have now. Especially with the method being unknown, potentially unsafe, and easily exploitable. I cannot be the only one who if the Phantom Thieves were real, would be extremely alarmed by the prospect of a group of vigilantes "changing hearts" right? It's so vague, and the pattern is dystopian. At least police methods are familiar
What I'm saying is that they're kids, and it's kind of insane that this game places Akechi as the narrative foil for the Thieves in their message and then makes it so easy to disregard because "he's an assassin so how could he know anything about justice". The Thieves don't either, and Ann was nearly a murderer. If the bar is "don't commit murder when you're infiltrating someone's mind" then it's far too low. I wouldn't trust a group of adults with this power to reform society, even less a group of teenage vigilantes. I'm 19, and I find this odd. And Strikers frames them as even more righteous, and it bugs me even more in that game. At least Royal has the third semester to give a bit more nuance to how big of a responsibility Ren was given, but that's also very frequently misinterpreted.
I love this game, and I love this fandom, and I have thoughts that get weird and ranty. I apologize, but I hope you all found this as interesting as I did.
Headcanoning Persona 5 characters Mariokart mains, because I'm funny and I have way too much time to think about dumb things
Ren mains Shy Guy, usually green because he loves Kakyoin from JJBA. Mute City F-Zero is also his favorite Mariokart 8 track because of this.
Ryuji once said "I bet Ann plays Princess Peach", and Ann was so offended by the assumption that every time she intentionally takes Bowser before Ryuji can, so he has to pick his second favorite (Donkey Kong) instead. She doesn't even dislike Peach necessarily, she just never played Peach and was feeling petty.
Now, technically Ryuji could always just pick Dry Bowser- but unfortunately for him, Makoto always picks Dry Bowser, so he has no choice but to pick Bowser Jr, and he would rather just keep Donkey Kong.
Akechi doesn't really play Mariokart unless he's roped in by the group, so he never really had a main. The others kept throwing out suggestions for him to pick, and he kept shooting them down for various contrived reasons, only giving in because Futaba was the loudest and most obnoxious one shouting "Pick Yoshi". That's the day he became the Yoshi main.
Yusuke mains King Boo, and was extremely baffled and confused when Futaba blurted out "only sluts play King Boo" (Ann couldn't help but laugh at that).
Futaba would only play either Luigi or Waluigi, depending on her mood. Either way, she's a memelord about it.
Haru would be Daisy, because she's iconic and also they're very similar. Makoto pointed it out and Haru has picked Daisy every time ever since.
Morgana always picks Mario, but not just any Mario. Specifically Tanooki Mario. Everyone gave him a look, but he acted like this was perfectly normal behavior. If anyone brings up the resemblance, he will get extremely defensive.
Sumire almost exclusively played Rosalina, until one day she decided to pick Toadette out of nowhere. The group was kind of surprised, and she explained that she thinks it's cute, and never went back.
Zenkichi keeps refusing to play, and only gives in because Sumire is a sweetheart who suggests that he match her and pick Toad. He does, and it's funny as hell.
And finally, Sophia would pick Princess Peach, specifically Cat Peach with the pink car because it matches the colors. Before that she was just going to make a Mii of herself reluctantly, but Ann showed her Cat Peach and her eyes just lit up.
Basically:
Ren: Green Shy Guy
Ryuji: Bowser Donkey Kong
Ann: Bowser
Makoto: Dry Bowser
Akechi: Yoshi
Yusuke: King Boo
Futaba: (Wa)Luigi
Haru: Daisy
Morgana: Tanooki Mario
Sumire: Rosalina Toadette
Zenkichi: Toad
Sophia: Cat Peach
I think akechi SHOULD get a redemption Arc sometimes I feel like the fandom forgets that despite everything he was a child while doing this he wasn't mature enough to make such big decisions as murder and no adults around him were helping him and he was all alone with this anger boiling inside of him and although I do relate and sympathize with him I do think he should apologize to characters like haru and futaba but in my mind I don't think he regrets all his actions I think he more regrets the effects of his actions and he needs to live with that and I think his whole relationship with the protagonist is what would drive him to get this redemption arc because the protagonist understands him and that's what's special about the relationship and that's why people ship them so much. The protagonist and Akechi are the same person it's just the protagonist had the rest of the phantom thieves and Goro had no one until he met the protagonist and he made his decision and he's lying with the bed he made. His mom died his father abandoned him before he was even born he was in the foster care system and later on getting used by his father and he ended up dying alone but however with the knowledge that he would not be forgotten by the one person who truly knew him who carried a piece of him. Goro akechi is a deep character and I think Atlus did an amazing job in fleshing out his character and I do hope they may do more of that as a fan but if goro were not to come up again I think I'd be content. There's so much discussions you can have about his character and technically none of it's right and none of it's wrong the only things right is what's solidly said in the game but we don't know if that's actual fact because goro is known to have masks like how his whole detective Prince persona was fake even in royal him what if he was just playing a character trying to get the protagonist to finally accept that he needs to let him go to move on with his life and I think that's what persona 5 strikers symbolize it's the protagonist moving on from losing someone who understands him much more than his friends and knows him in a way that he doesn't let anybody else. Although he is not directly mentioned in strikers there's definitely illusions to him especially when they are talking about shido with zenkichi and how they've all been through this kind of thing before. It's just displays how deep that their relationship was together and I'm not just talking in like a romantic way since I ship them it's just they were pitted against each other by a god let that sink in A GOD who decided he wanted to play games with humanity pitted these two people against each other they were meant to be rivals they were meant to understand each other. And like akechi himself said if they met up years before maybe even just a month before all that happen could have been different. Anyway thank you for coming to my TED talk.
please don't hurt me, this is my first time posting on tumblr
Hi! I wanted to try this challenge and suddenly draw Futaba Sakura from p5!
D E I D A R A W A N T S T O K N O W Y O U R L O C A T I O N
Hey Yusuke, Deidara wants to be your friend 😂
