Ngl I don't even know why I upload on this app, it's like...y'know, I just don't see a point if I won't even gain any attention

Belladonna, one of the three Velvet Room attendants from Persona 1&2, laying in a dark room lit only by a glowing golden butterfly on her finger.

I see thirsty art for the Velvet ladies all the time, and I wanted to do something nice for my girl Belladonna. Unfortunately I fucked it up and started doing dramatic lighting and now it looks like this instead of being sexy or whatever but uhhhhh

The party is standing in the Tower of Wisdom. At the center is a writhing mass of tentacles, with two large wings outstretched. Maya took a can of crab out of her bag and approached the Elder Thing.

Baofu has a dismayed expression on his face. Baofu: A-Amano, the hell're you doing walking around with that in your bag?!

Ulala: It's her lunch. When she's real busy, Ma-ya spreads it on bread and eats it.

Baofu: Her LUNCH??

Writhing eldritch abomination, no sweat, just your average day in Sumaru City. But carrying a can of crab in your purse, *that's* something to panic about! 😂

#Persona2 #P2EP

After the battle against Azazel, Ulala is peeking into Shiori's Trapezohedron of Drive. Katsuya has his back turned to the rest of the party. Katsuya: Honestly... I have no respect for voyeurs of other people's psyches.

Taking notes for when I eventually put him through the horrors 🤔

#Persona2 #P2EP

The party is in the Tower of Drive, facing down Azazel. Tatsuya has his sword drawn. Tatsuya: Hand over Shiori-san's psyche.

Azazel: I'd be happy to consider it--IF you give me the woman I desire in exchange. Well?

All at once, the men looked at Ulala.

Ulala has a shocked expression on her face. Ulala: Wh... The hell're you looking at me for?! This isn't funny! Why should I have to go with that monster...!

I should have seen this coming, and yet... 😔

#Persona2 #P2EP

Cat Lieutenant General Zula: Salute if you understand! Be grateful, humans, and Salute!

Katsuya again reflexively saluted. (No one else in the party is saluting.)

Zula once again returned it splendidly.

...Katsuya, you fucking nerd, I fucking love you 🥰

#Persona2 #P2EP

The party is standing at the corners of the entrance to Kadath Mandala. In the center is a cat standing on its hind legs, wearing books and a scarf. Ulala is surprised that it talked, before saying... Ulala: ...Wait, why say that now? We've talked to butterflies and made contact with demons and stuff.

Katsuya, smiling: It looks like an Abyssian. It's so cute.

Baofu: Hey, watch it. That looks like some kinda big shot cat.

Reason #329 while PQ2 should have been a crossover between the P5 and P2 parties: much fewer jokes/questioning comments about Morgana being a talking cat.

Also, Katsuya would have been so happy to have a cat as a party member. But would Katsuya be allergic to Morgana...hmm 🤔

#sketch #persona2 #p2ep #persona2eternalpunishment #drawing

Really putting the Nya in Nyarlathotep

Following the final battle, Nyarlathotep, in the guise of Tatsuya Suou, is down on one knee. His character portrait has an enraged expression on his face. The party is standing around him, still in their battle stances. Nyarlathotep: It... can't be...!? It's not possible...!! This contradiction... I won't accept i---t!!

I may have been underlevelled by like 30 levels, and this fight took me well over an hour, and I had to use so many Balms of Life and Bead Chains...but I did it! I've finished Eternal Punishment!

And Katsuya got the final hit...I'm so proud 😊

#Persona2 #P2EP

A screenshot from P2EP. The party is in combat, and the Contact information shows the demon's name is Talos.

By Talos, this can't be happening.

#Persona2 #P2EP

Shadow Katsuya: You're just deceiving yourself in front of your brother. Fulfill your desires. Why protect such a brother any longer?

After the previous line, Katsuya quickly, too quickly, turned to aim his gun at Tatsuya. Ulala, panicked: W..Wait, Suou-nii!? Get a hold of yourself!! Ma-ya, stop him!!

Tatsuya, downcast expression: .........

Maya: ......... There are two dialogue options. Stop it...Katsuya-san!! I believe in you... Katsuya-san...

Okay.....okay.....okay....Katsuya just aiming his gun at his brother is gonna haunt me for a while. He just...did that. With a little prompted from his Shadow...what the fuck...

#Persona2 #P2EP

Katsuya: That's... not... true...

Baofu: What's wrong Suou!? Stay sharp...!

Shadow Katsuya: Don't play innocent... You're in love with that woman...

Maya and Tatsuya both have a shocked expression on their faces. Maya/Tatsuya: .........!?

Katsuya, that is the least convincing "That's not true" of all time, what the fuck...

#Persona2 #P2EP

After the flashback, the party have returned to the Monad Manada, where Shadow Katsuya is waiting for them with his back turned. Shadow Katsuya: Hmpt... Regrets are at an extreme, aren't they...

Katsuya is pushing his glasses up on his face. Katsuya: Nonsense! I don't regret anything!

Shadow Katsuya has turned to face the party. Shadow Katsuya: Lying is the start of evil... You really despise your father and brother, huh? If not for them, you could've had your way.

Shadow Katsuya has walked closer to the party. Shadow Katsuya: You're probably tired of playing the good older brother... Your love to your family is just a role.

I'm gonna have to lay down and ponder this for a while...ough 😨

#Persona2 #P2EP

Mr. Kashihara: That's right. So... you sure...?

High School Katsuya: I've decided on my own... After law school, I'll become a police officer.

Mr. Kashihara: With your grades, you can go anywhere...

Mr. Kashihara: It's... your father, isn't it?

In all seriousness, though, this is so fucking tragic. I wish that after the events of this game, that Katsuya could become the patissier he had always wanted to be, but we all know Atlus won't allow that to happen 😔

#Persona2 #P2EP

The party has entered a room in Monad Mandala to see a flashback. In an office at Seven Sisters High, a teenage Katsuya Suou is talking to Mr. Kashihara. Mr. Kashihara: Suou, are you sure...? That you want to give up your dream as a... dessert chef...

High School Katsuya: That's "Patissier".

[pointing at high school age Katsuya] NEEEEEERD!

#Persona2 #P2EP

The party has reached the entrance to Monad Mandala, the final dungeon in the game, and is confronting Nyarlathotep. Nyarlathotep is in the guise of Tatsuya Suou wearing a Seven Sisters uniform. He is blocking a sword strike from the actual Tatsuya. Nyarlathotep: (snicker)... Easy now... You wouldn't want to hurt this pretty little face of yours? It suits me, don't you agree?

Nyarlathotep has teleported behind the party and is now mimicking Ulala, sporting red eyes and a twisted grin. Nyarlathotep: By the way, do you know the "three poisons of life"? ...What I'm referring to is: "Anger", "Ignorance", and "Vengeance".

I've finally reached the final dungeon in the game and I'm so hyped! Can't wait to kick this guys ass...though I'm only like Level 54 so I'm gonna have to do a lot of grinding, I feel.

#P2EP #Persona2

Upon entering the Ameno Torifune dungeon, the party encounters a superheated hallway, and promptly starts panicking. Baofu/Katsuya/Ulala, all panicked: Ahhhh!?

When the entire squad is freakin' the fuck out

#Persona2 #P2EP

Maya is talking to Katsuya at the entrance to the Subway Construction Tunnels. Katsuya's character portrait shows him looking downward while pushing up his sunglasses. Katsuya: As a child I believed adults had strong beliefs and could rule themselves. I wanted to be an adult like that...

Katsuya: But, as you age, you start to see many things... There are times when you become confused...

Katsuya: It's sick... To feel yourself being defiled...

Ignoring how Katsuya's first line is being credited to Baofu for some reason (probably a typo)...WHERE IS MY "HUG KATSUYA" BUTTON??? Seriously, game??? I want to give him a hug right the hell now.

#Persona2 #P2EP

A screenshot from P2EP, showing a flashback of Nanjo, Eriko, Maki, and the Persona 1 protagonist at the gates of their high school. Boy with Earring: ...Yeah.

Atlus, here was your perfect chance to give the Persona 1 protag an official canon name, and yet you totally passed it up. I'm not remotely surprised, but still. 😔

At least the manga exists.

#Persona2 #P2EP

Maya is talking to Baofu inside the Jolly Roger restaurant. This interaction happens after Tatsuya Suou finally accompanies the party but before he officially joins. Baofu: That kid is just as edgy as his brother. He ignored me when I called him.

Baofu, ignoring you is not what "edgy" means. Like, Katsuya Suou is the least edgy person of All Time. 😅

#Persona2 #P2EP

Maya and the rest of the party have reached the docks of the Nichirinmaru cruise ship, where there is one submarine ready for use. Tatsuya Suou, meanwhile, is piloting a mech. Katsuya: Is that you, Tatsuya...!? You only have a leaner's permit! You can't drive that thing, it's dangerous!

Tatsuya: Driving a goddamn mech.
Katsuya: But you only have a learner's permit!!!

Priorities... 😅

#Persona2 #P2EP

In the back of the Abandoned Factory, Baofu is holding Yung Pao at gunpoint. The rest of the party is standing behind Baofu. Katsuya: Former prosecutor of the Sumaru Special Investigation Unit, Kaoru Saga... I had Nanjo-kun check it out for me...

Ulala, shocked: No way... a prosecutor...

Katsuya: Five years ago, there was an accident where a couple, a prosecutor, and a secretary died while traveling in Taiwan...

Katsuya: So, what was it, Baofu? Was this to avenge Miki Asai...? Or...

Immediately wondering what Baofu would be like as a prosecutor in the Ace Attorney universe 🤔

Also, damn, you do not want to be named Miki within the Persona universe...that name must be cursed or something 😔

#Persona2 #P2EP

Maya is talking to Katsuya in a Sotomi Tadashi. Katsuya: Serizawa-kun told me... What does she mean by "having a hole" in the stomach? Could you swallow swords then?

Katsuya, I love you so much 🥰 But also why is swallowing swords the first thing you think of? I do not understand

#Persona2 #P2EP

The party is gathered in the women's restroom at Smile Hirasaka. They're trying to find a way to evacuate the building before confronting Ginji. Ulala: They are going to get mixed up in it! Maya's dialogue options are: What should we do...? Let's start a fire! The second one is highlighted and will be selected.

Ulala: Haven't you had enough fires? Besides, I don't think Suou-san would let you start one in front of him...

Katsuya: Actually... I think it's a good idea...

Ulala, shocked: What the hell? ...Unbelievable...! You were always yapping "justice, justice, justice," but when it's Ma-ya, anything is okay?

Katsuya, your crush is showing 😂

#Persona2 #P2EP

Maya Amano is talking to Katsuya Suou inside Rosa Candida. Katsuya is blushing. Katsuya: The latest fashion seems to be rather racy. But, isn't this slit a little TOO much? ...It could increase the crime rate!

Now I *need* to see just what this outfit looks like. And I *need* to see Katsuya wearing it--I mean, what? 😊

#Persona2 #P2EP

Deep within the Science Lab, Baofu is hacking information from the lab's computers while Katsuya, Maya, Nanjo and Ulala stand around him. Baofu: "Research and theory on artificially creating Persona users"--Takahisa Kandori

Honestly, Kandori should have been the big superboss in P3R's version of The Answer instead of P5!Joker. Like...sure, SEES would have had no clue who Kandori was, along with most Persona fans. But it was very likely that Kandori's research that gave rise to Strega, and...

#Persona2 #P2EP

A few pop in my head immediately.

Ringo from Soul Hackers 2, Yunica from Ys Origin, Lightening from Final Fantasy XIII, Jill Valentine from Resident Evil, Terra from Final Fantasy VI, Classic Lara Croft, Bayonetta, but my favorite:

Maya Amano from Persona 2: Eternal Punishment
