Oh you're talking about this right?

I've only gotten into the series this year but I was ravenously reading Axel/Sora because I love the angst potential the two have given how clearly gay Axel is with Roxas. Haven't found something that's clicked every checkmark, but I'm glad some fucked up sad stuff exists.

I'm highkey scared to play KH3 because everyone complains about it plus I got spoiled hearing about that one scene with Sora and Kairi. I don't want hetshit, please God, please Nomura. I'm more okay with sacrificing Terra to the hetgods if I have to but I don't want any explicit hetshit, oh god why. Canon won't stop me from being a fan but still. Someone said that scene which I know next to nothing about was just the conclusion to Kairi's "arc" if you can call it that, but that might just be fujoshi copium. Someone reassure me kek.

>>4678
Yes!! And same! You can really do an angst timeline through the games with Axel. There's lots of good older fics on FF I've dug through too.

>>4679
Don't be scared nonna, KH3 is not as bad as you imagine. Riku is still as gay in KH3 as he is in every game and there is lots of ship fuel for Lea/Isa if you're into them.
The scene with Kairi and Sora was not a confirmation for a romantic relationship imo but you just have to see it and judge for yourself. I really doubt Nomura will end the series with any confirmed romantic pairings considering how the games emphasize platonic bonds more than anything.

Being autistic about a ship in response to art is annoying

A streamer I follow has been playing Pokemon Soul silver and it gives me Johto nostalgia. Also it reminded me of how I adore Silver the rival for how much of an edgelord he is.

New megas keep dropping, victreebel is interesting, not as big a fan of Hawlucha's it looks too similar to the base design.

>>4663
Same, I think we may see some more of the circus troupe in the future. It's also been on my radar since Doll returned.
There's so many mysteries, so many unanswered questions. I'm excited for the next chapter!

>>4656
What did Sebastian do to him???

Russia is for everyone

What plot-heavy fics would you recommend?

Birth of Kitaro: The Mystery of GeGeGe Film Gets Stage Play in 2026

I came across a news post from one of the mobile games while on Xitter and I'm so fucking immature, I've been giggling about this anim for like five minutes now.

Fusion WAS included, but they didn't interact with it much since they liked the main persona and it was enough to power through the dungeon without issue. Igor was there as usual, but they said the person with him (possibly the attendant) was a young girl who had bolts ala Frankenstein and was wearing mostly black.

You gained new demons by arresting them post-battle, but they weren't very specific about it since they apparently ignored that too.

Forgot to mention MC fights with two swords, and has a hopping idle animation in battle that was 'kinda cute'. This could make it better or worse, but they compared him to Ryo from Devilman Crybaby in general appearance.

I'm trying to remember what else is important enough to mention without spamming the board. The most notable social link was another student who is trying to become an influencer to bring business to her grandmother's street food stand. The link involved them arguing over it, and the girl trying not to let online pressure get to her. She had a 'cute street style' and pink gradient hair.

The victim in the dungeon was regarded as a piano prodigy, and the persona-using boss throws him in because he's jealous over it. During the boss fight, he transforms into full Gene Simmons makeup. The playtest ended once he was defeated.

>Igor was there as usual, but they said the person with him (possibly the attendant) was a young girl who had bolts ala Frankenstein and was wearing mostly black.
Not surprised, all the attendants and Igor himself, and even Viktor and Mary inthe Devil Summoner series are specifically named after Frankenstein characters. I wonder what will happen with Igor. It's so obvious that P5 was written around his Japanese voice actor's death that I assume the devs don't want to replace him no matter what with the fake Igor having his own voice actor and are willing to just reuse his previous lines. So I assume the attendant will have more lines in comparison. When is Philemon coming back?

>The victim in the dungeon was regarded as a piano prodigy, and the persona-using boss throws him in because he's jealous over it.
It's basically like in Tartarus and the Memento then. Same thing with the police actively being involved in what's going on, there are always police officers or detectives involved in the series since P2 at the very least. I haven't played P1 so maybe that's also true for this game. I get being disappointed or surprised if playtesters don't know Persona but I know some Persona fans will seethe.

I'm sold. I just hope Atlus won't take too much time releasing the game so I can get it on the PS5, I don't plan on getting more recent consoles for plenty of reasons after that.

>>4628
everything sounds like it could be real except for the part about the attendant wearing mostly black.
they're supposed to mostly wear blue.

It still blows my mind that there was never a proper official english translation of the series because of Glenn fucking Danzig of all people. The only real silver lining about him having the publishing rights for the series was that we got some nice Simon Bisley art out of it. Spoilered for 3dpd but I just find the fact that Danzig is such a huge fan of Devilman that he got a massive tramp stamp funny as hell

>Who tops? Or are they versatile?
They’re both bottoms who expect the other to assfuck them eventually (won’t happen)

I share it. Was not expecting to come away shipping something after watching it but they are just so good.

I have had this in my backlog since forever. I love white man and middle eastern man pairings. Would love to see a fujobaity King Richard and Saladin movie.

The weirdest confirmed one I found is this old man having a poly set-up with two younger men, one a Chinese. This shit writes itself.

I vaguely remember the fandom not liking the costuming/atmosphere shift (casual clothing instead of robes in many scenes) following the director swap after Chamber of Secrets. I agree that the first two movies have a better "vibe" but if you eyeball the length of the books the first two adaptations also have the advantage of shorter/tightly edited source material, so it's hard to say how much that lent itself to making a better movie.

>>4585
Maybe cause of a lot of miscellaneous things like omitting characters, leaving out or changing important plot stuff, (like in HBP the subplot being about Lavender and Rons relationship when that was barely a thing and wasting time on that instead of shedding more light on Regulus and Toms backstories, or cutting the scene of Dumbeldore meeting the Dursleys and replacing it with Harry flirting with some random waitress)
Also just some characterization changes, book Harry and movie Harry are completely different people

The movies still hold up and look just fine, but as usual the books will be better (this can be said for most adaptations)

>>4585
I only dislike some of them. I enjoyed the first 3 immensely, then they started to omit/rewrite more and more material as the books grew thicker. The atmosphere also changed, with a lot of magic and wonder being lost, so they were less immersive. The changed colour use to grimderp also weighed them down. I don't think the last two were well-directed at all.

>>4586
The third one may actually be my favourite, cause the atmosphere, the humour and the original content just vibed with me.

>>4589
>the subplot being about Lavender and Rons relationship when that was barely a thing and wasting time on that instead of shedding more light on Regulus and Toms backstories
Yeah, exactly. Focusing on the wrong stuff (as fanservice to who exactly?) while neglecting what people actually wanted to see (other characters getting screentime, action).
