《🏅CEO of NPD Goro Akechi》

explanation for Fumiyo’s name; Wesley, Akechi’s Great Grandfather, was an American Kogoro Akechi fan who moved to Japan. He met his wife because her last name was Akechi. They named their son Kogoro, & Kogoro named his daughter Fumiyo. Goro was named to hold the tradition :D

I see a lot of people depict Akechi and his mom with a typical relationship, but, because of how he is, I like to think that they had a more complicated relationship that feeds deeper into Akechi’s understanding of the feelings between love, hate & everything in the middle.

Finally got around to drawing Mamakechi design wahoo! We’ve named her Fumiyo Akechi. :D She’s a former yankee girl group member. She’s very fiery in personality, and i think it rubs off on Akechi :P They have a very unique relationship. Not healthy, but not horrible.

Goro Akechi the nightmare child

Ren has to deal with Akechi trying to kill him again! yaaay

After his creation, they utilize Robogo to continue the psychotic breakdowns, which forces Ren & the PTs back into action. Upon exploring the re-built Mementos, they come across a vaguely familiar face <3

in this AU, after his death, Shido’s accomplices find Akechi’s corpse outside the Diet building & make him into a botched Anti-Shadow Suppression Weapon using old ass documents found from the Kirijo group’s archives :p

far too much erasure of Akechi’s Black Mask side within the community… let him be the evil little crackpot he is. don’t take his sparkle…

some more info !

not super original by any means but i thought it was fun :}

Ren & Akechi get to see each other very rarely when all the classes meet together to practice. Ren notices he’s the only one in Yalba’s care that doesnt follow the crowd & tries to talk to him, but Akechi is very hostile. But sometimes, Ren catches him watching from afar.

Akechi is kept around despite his headstrong behaviour bc of his talent. He is revelled by his peers, trained mercilessly, & commended highly by Yalba & other aliens for his endurance & willpower. He is basically Yalba’s star child.

Phile is known for his strange experimentation with letting his humans do as they please & encouraging their individuality. Yalba is very much the opposite. All his humans have broken spirits & are essentially mindless dolls… except for an especially exceptional child, Akechi.

the plot is that Yalbadoth is the Alien that owns Akechi & Philemon owns a sanctuary where the PTs & Ren stay. Ren used to be owned by a different Alien before he rebelled & was taken into Phile’s care bc he was a troublemaker.

i mostly started drawing them to study the colors of the animations bc theyre just gorgeous, then my creative brain went into overdrive

heyho ive been mulling over an ALST Akeshu/Shuake AU. have been redrawing screenshots for funsies
#Persona5Royal #goroakechi #renamamiya

theres like so much more buuut i'll be here until i return to dust if i try to fit it all into twitter's stupid character limit.
so. i'll leave that all as a lil synopsis/prevue for now! will post more when my brain decides to work & make something cohesive !

essentially;
The Prince - the roses
The Black Mask - the thornbush
3rd Semester - dead thornbush w/ weeds on him
ERHIT Akechi - thornbush w/ a wilting rosebud buried in it
Then Ren can be symbolized by both Flames & Rain, & a Gardener :3

ahmm so i wanted to provide a bit of explanation for the symbolism of rosebush in relation to Akechi but.. i got a little bit carried away. hopefully its not too hard to decipher )-)o
first two sections cover Akechi in canon events, & the last two are his development in ERHIT!

Determined to not let him slip through his fingers again, Ren pursues Akechi despite his many grievances & attempts to shed him.

A total stalemate occurs when Akechi suddenly cuts contact, pushing Ren to look to the Metaverse to clear the stubborn thorns that consume his heart.

Akechi, presumed dead, resurfaces. Having vowed to simply keep a low profile & start over, he'd taken care to avoid the places in which Ren tarried despite knowing he'd returned to his hometown. Deviating from this only once to make a trip to Yongen-Jaya, he is foiled by fate.

thus, the unfortunate spool of fate unravels, separating their paths with an iron door. Paradise comes, then fades, & Ren is left with a lingering sense of if only.

The story begins anew when, on a trip back to Tokyo for the winter holidays, Ren stumbles upon a ghost.

till, this penchant isnt enough for Ren to breach the gap between them. if anything, it further estranges; each step closer Ren takes, Akechi takes 5 backward. both whirling in a chaotic dance of vaguely similar pattern, swathed in the arms of their destinies, never each others.

"Every Rose Has its' Thorns."

Setting an image in Ren's mind; The Prince he knows, a rosebush with brilliant roses, shielding the deadly thicket underneath with their superficial beauty-- & he, a man with a penchant for plant care.

The foundation is set; Ren, torn on a his feelings about Akechi's upcoming betrayal, seeks Maruki as counsel.
Distressed for an uncharacteristically perturbed Ren & his friend who is clearly troubled from what is descript, Maruki credulously bestows a double edged sword:

ERHIT follows Ren & Akechi after the events in canon. there are a few tweaks or additions here & there, some characters to fill in the gaps that canon didn't fill (Akechi's mother, Ren's parents, etc) BUT it mostly revolves around canon characters & happenings.

we have... A LOT of stuff for this AU, (even playlists of what the soundtracks of their Palaces would be like..) so in effort to keep it all in one place, i'll probably make a strawpage or whateves the kids use these days to collect everything together at some point.

Thread about ERHIT, our post-canon Akeshuake AU!
