> 2015
Draw outdated fanart, it seems.

I drew that on New Year's.

It was a different world back then. There were no phantoms, and no 6s.

This fanart is too good, I had to share

I'm well aware, it's just that the delay's kind of put a blemish on everything marked 2015.

So sick of this trope.

I had the patience for exactly one.

 

[Inquisitive_Ghost]

Don't worry guys. There will be a girl who doesn't cook well in the game as well.

So sick of this trope.

 

[VegiHam]

So sick of this trope.

Yeah, same. It's not even funny it's just the same thing over and over.

 

[Lunar15]

It's a bad trope and it's also pretty sexist.

 

[DryEyeRelief]

You know what's sad? They probably did that schtick in an attempt to be subversive.
It's not "Women can't cook", it's "These women can't cook. What oddballs!"
And now it's a tired cliché...

Yeah exactly. It's also why they make it a bigger focus with Yukiko than the other p4 girls.

Exactly.

 

[A Dead Diehard]

Yeah for her it makes sense, being part of the deconstruction of the "ideal Japanese woman" archetype.

Spoiler

Not sure what to say about her being able to cook at the end of her s-link if it's platonic, tho...

 

[PK Gaming]

I doubt they'll indulge in that crap in P5, but you better believe Ryuji's gonna try to drag you into peeping on the girls.

Twist: It's the cat and she's a lesbian. Ryuji finds the act of peeping deplorable.

Other Twist: It's the cat again but she drags Anne into peeping on the guys.

Other Other Twist: There's no hot springs scene and instead it's a cook-off where everyone is really talented at cooking. Gordon Ramsey is a social link.

I usually don't care about things being tropey or played out as long as they are done well.

"X cant cook" has never been funny, ever

"X surprisingly can cook" however actually has been

Also really sick of this kind of creep behaviour being played off as mere jokes in media in general.

 

[Gecoma]

As long as P5 has no hotspring scene, no girl who is bad at cooking, no

Spoiler

tragic death of the comic relief's girlfriend

& no

Spoiler

betrayal by an adult friend

I can pretty much go ahead call it a perfect plot now.

The Lethal Chef trope only really works when it's one character in a vast cast. It gets rather odd and a bit nonsensical if everyone can't cook, or if there isn't a cast big enough to make this trope work.

I've always found Persona 4 especially odd. Coming from a rural place myself, one of the things you need to be able to do is cook. It's not like you have quick and easy access to something otherwise. So almost everyone here knows how to cook basic stuff (breakfasts, hamburgers, etc) and it's really odd that none of the Inaba girls except Naoto can cook.

it was after a number of tries with a cookbook, wasn't it?

Well, I think the idea is that Yukiko always had staff that cooked, Chie is a tomboy who eats only grilled meat, Naoto is pre-occupied with being an ace detective, and Rise is an idol who never had time for cooking because she was on tour.

I mean, it's still a shitty trope, but there were reasons.

You have a point. What was Fuuka's excuse?

A lack of confidence.

Naoto is pretty decent at cooking from what I can recall. Well, when she's following instructions to the letter, anyway.

 

[A Dead Diehard]

A lack of confidence.

And shitty parents, iirc.

I feel like that means she should be better at cooking.

Not necessarily. Raised in a broken home and all that...

 

[BRSxIgnition]

If I'm to be completely honest, I'd jump for joy if the other female of the group was an older detective lady - especially with her current VA sounding as good as it does.

Of course PersonaGAF has to rain on my parade and remind me of Naoto.

Spoiler

I completely forgot she was a detective for most of the game after gaining her as a party member

Naoto and Rise I can understand, but Chie and Yukiko don't really have an excuse for living in a place like Inaba and not knowing how to cook ;_;

She didn't really have crappy parents so much as they were just overbearing.

So when exactly does Q take place. Playing the P3 story and

Spoiler

Elizabeth mentions the typhoon so I would assume it takes place after, but the groups convo at Tartarus makes it seem like it is during the typhoon, which it couldn't be since Makoto was bed ridden. Or does the opening Velvet room scene take place after Q since Makoto has some recollection of Yu?

Or does it basically tell me in story?

 

[Lunar15]

Not necessarily. Raised in a broken home and all that...

See, I'd think that would mean she'd have to cook for herself more.

Naoto and Rise I can understand, but Chie and Yukiko don't really have an excuse for living in a place like Inaba and not knowing how to cook ;_;

Yukiko I kind of get: she never had to cook because she has a whole kitchen staff. Not exactly a normal rural upbringing.

Chie is the one with the least excuses, but the whole idea is that she's a tomboy and tomboys don't know how to cook because they're not girly looooooool (blegh)

 

[properpropaganda]

She could probably cook

meat.

 

[ShadowSoldier89]

could've just not learned how to cook because she didn't give a shit to learn. Doesn't really need a good excuse

 

[Ganzlinger]

I doubt they'll indulge in that crap in P5, but you better believe Ryuji's gonna try to drag you into peeping on the girls.

Dude, that's Prison School.

Spoiler

And it totally fits P5's theme lol.

 

[Makio]

Make it happen Atlus ....

 

[Tinfoilhatsron]

Make it happen Atlus ....

If this does happen, Persona Tumblr is gonna explode, lol.

I was suprised Mysterious Fox from P4 didn't turn out to be some beautiful shrine maiden, heh.

 

[A Dead Diehard]

Chie's shown to be bad at learning in general. In that case, Yukiko and Naoto make the least sense.

meow!

More like "rowr!", amirite?

 

[Mobile Suit Gooch]

meow!

 

[BRSxIgnition]

Make it happen Atlus ....

While that looks like a great take on Morgana's design, I don't think she'd look like that if she changes into a human.

Judging by her voice and mannerisms in her normal 'cat' form, I'm expecting a more lithe, tomboyish look for her human form.

But still, meow.

 

[Zolo]

Apparently, the biggest surprise may be that Morgana is a guy with a feminine name after about a year's worth of fanart and pronouns.

Especially seeing how Rise's family runs a tofu shop.

It's the worst trope.

I can't remember exactly but I think it's when both characters are out of action game wise, so during the Typhoon in 3 and during whenever the hell Yu gets the flu in 4.

 

[FluxWaveZ]

This doesn't happen to Yu in Persona 4, which are the events that Persona Q is essentially based on (alongside the original release of Persona 3).

Dates: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aNDum2gjeH4

Edit: Wait, I say that but then Marie happens. So never mind that assumption.

 

[Inquisitive_Ghost]

...Yu gets the flu in P4G?

And was the typhoon in P3FES? Because I don't remember it.

 

[FluxWaveZ]

...Yu gets the flu in P4G?

Marie's fault. 100% serious, too.

And was the typhoon in P3FES? Because I don't remember it.

Never played the original Persona 3, but I wouldn't think that bit of information was specific to FES. It was a passing mention as to why the Gekkoukan school festival was cancelled.

The MC sleeps through it.

He gets sick and Teddie stays with him IIRC.

Fuck's sake.

I'll have to watch for it on my replay; if it was a passing mention, I probably disregarded it as soon as it came up. :/

The MC sleeps through it.

...And this would explain why my brain just instantly wrote it off.

I would be surprised if Morgana doesn't have an human form.

Maybe not that sexy like the image , more tomboy like someone point out.

But i will surprised too if Atlus dont give us another mascot waifu like Aigis or

Alice Teddie

Shes a Cat that transforms into that Chibi cat and maybe other forms like a car? Love her design and how she chills in the backpack during the day.
