I Made These As A Way To Compile All The Geographical Vocabulary That I Thought Was Useful And Interesting

love how some ppls reaction to rarepairs is "that makes no senseeee did they even meet" like. oh so this ur first time in fandom or u just dont like fun or.....?

Illustration for the final episode of the season

exam today

Ough, thinking about how p5 somewhat unintentionally dips into queer/neurodiverse themes.

Like, you take the “outcasts” and like… most of the time, they’re only like that because they’re different.

(I would argue there isn’t a single phantom thief that doesn’t fall into the neurodiverse/queer club (and quite commonly both))

Like, yeah, head canons and all, and “these characters were never confirmed to be *blank*” well, yeah. But if I can look at Ryugi and feel better about my own adhd because he’s doing his best despite of it? Characters don’t have to actually have or be whatever to see yourself through them. I’ve been so frustrated with schoolwork and him being able to still somewhat try and do his own boring schoolwork, it’s helping me do my own. The staying up way too late doing something I enjoy rather than what I dislike. I can just feel the adhd coming from him.

Ryugi being quick to anger and frustration mirrors my own feelings. That urge to just… hit something when things go wrong, but you can’t because you don’t want to hurt anyone. The pure frustration when you can’t do anything. That strong desire to protect who we care about. I can just see so much of myself in him, and it makes me feel better, because he was able to be better.

(Can you tell I have a favourite phantom thief?/lh)

(Take some of these next ones with a grain of salt, because I do throw a fair bit of head canon in there)

Yusuke and Futaba dip into autism (or also adhd) representation. I can’t personally speak for this one, but I know it’s a very common hc. They help show that you can do different things with good supports.

Ann… well, let’s be real she is at LEAST bi if not lesbian.

Futaba shows cptsd symptoms and also shows that it can get better with the right supports!

And there’s so much more that my tired brain can’t think of right this moment. Feel free to add your own, dear reader.

While I can’t personally connect as deeply with every phantom thief, the fact that *someone* can is why representation matters to me. They feel like my friends because can I see so much of myself. I’m an artist like Yusuke, I’m a gamer like Futaba, I love taking care of plants like Haru, I have a strong sense of justice like Makoto, I see myself in Ann because I’m sapphic because I get judged by my appearance and it isn’t who I really am, I am proud like Morgana, and I am loyal and brave like Ryugi is.

Intentional or not, representation comes in all different shapes and sizes, and if we can see ourselves in those characters, it can help in so many different ways.

(And a side track, I know this isn’t the main point, about the queer or neurodiverse thing, but Haru and how she feels about her father’s passing is helping me deal with the divorce (I know it isn’t the same) (dad was kicked out, it was good, and I’m a whole adult so it’s not *that* bad) but the lens of “was he ever like I though he was? Or was he always this way” that I can shine my own experiences through has been helping me

Same with Ryugi really, my dad wasn’t physically abusive, but I cut contact for a reason)

Other media has this unintentional representation, but I mainly wanted to talk about p5 because I have free will and no one can stop me.

paswg aquarium moment

alnst fandom, have you ever thought about Mizi having laser vision correction? she wore glasses as a child, probably for her vision, and then had to take them off for her stage appearances, but why doesn't she wear them when she joins the rebellion? any thoughts on that?

Genuinely so confused by this official art:

WHY IS THERE A TOMATO AND WHY IS THERE A DRIBBLE OF TOMATO JUICE RUNNING DOWN YOSHIKI’S BACK???

WHAT DOES IT MEANNNNAAAGHHH

oec : part 2 ; the meaning

in honor of oecs comeback, i decided to make this!

what is the " loonaverse " ?

the loonaverse is a fictional universe, where the members of loona live. it is estimated to date all the way back to april 26th, 2017.

heejin is generally known as the loonaverses creator. initially, the world was in black and white. when heejin sees this, she takes action, realizing she cant do this alone, she needs help filling the world with color. does this mean heejin is the "god" / "goddess" of the loonaverse? many orbits think so.

the loonaverse is believed to be highly biblical. blockberry creative confirmed that the story of yyxy (youth youth by young), is meant to explain the biblical story of adam and eve! including imagery of apples, and even going as far as to call this area of the loonaverse as "eden"

it is highly believed that the loonaverse is a universe that exists on a möbius strip, aka, an endless loop. a very popular reason to back up this theory is in the name of loona. LOOΠΔ is the official spelling of the group, and ΠΔ are greek letters. if you translate this, it would equate to LOOPD. coincidence? many orbits think not!

about oec ; dive in

they were the second subunit to debut, on september 21st, 2017

oec = odd eye circle

the members consist of jinsoul, choerry, and kim lip! they are the only subunit to have 3 members.

so, whats the meaning?

the three letters in “ODD” represent three overlapping moons. moon imagery is the most common in oec, out of all loona music videos.

obligatory post before acheron's release

obviously, it's established that acheron is a variant of raiden mei. her real name is not actually acheron (confirmed through the livestream, but...come on, we all already knew that). specifically, there's loads of similarities in her design to the herrscher of thunder above all else

similar hair structure, hair part, n hairpiece (n obviously the color, too),

sword structure, patterns, n nearly identical handles,

one "red" arm,

the bust/halter,

and of course, the color scheme as shown in acheron's "emanator" form, n the horns shown in the livestream

with all that in mind, i imagine acheron is a variant of mei who failed to save the person closest to her (her kiana, to simplify it), n/or watched them die, or even killed them herself. it's shown during her dance with black swan that there was obviously someone important to her in her past, conflict arose in a setting much like the one featured in the livestream, n there's even imagery of her walking alone with only the moon in the sky to keep her company

kiana has been associated with the moon n moon imagery since the flyme2themoon days; her origin was quite literally a game about blasting off to the moon

this teaser resembles thunders over nagazora to me, as well as mei watching kiana's end in honkai gakuen

there's also the fact that the type of emanator acheron is, an emanator of nihility, is classified as a self-annihilator; those who have felt the pull of nihility n been unable to escape drowning in it. self-annihilator's take the meaning of nihility to heart, so much so that it erodes their bodies n memories

acheron has been confirmed as the self-annihilator type in her character introduction posted recently. what really strikes me about this line is the phrasing of "existence is nothing"

sounds familiar, doesn't it?

mei is characterized by the tragedies in her life, n how they impact her. growing up isolated, a kidnapping at a young age, bullying at school, suicidal tendencies, n the constant reminder that the girl she loves more than anything in the world will always put the overall well being of humanity over herself

to me, acheron is a mei shaped by loss. the mei we remember from hi3 had the chance to grow n change; to learn from her mistakes, n to fight for a better world, bc she had the support of her friends n her most important person. acheron doesn't seem to have that level of support from anyone, at least not anyone still in her life currently

which brings me to my next point. she HAD a "kiana," but ultimately lost her. n this is the result

acheron is incredibly powerful, but her power seems incredibly volatile. she carries this innate sadness with her wherever she goes, n the very path she walks n the very aeon she became an avatar of strips life of all meaning, all the beauty from the world

it's a far cry from the mei we know, bc clearly, there was a very pivotal change in her development that i can only attribute to the loss of her world's "kiana"
