this is it
I’m going to die
You know when you forget how cute a character is then they smack you in the face to remind you? Yep.
Yosuke Hanamura
SNAP! Here we go!
How I feel about this character: I love him. I love him to pieces.
All the people I ship romantically with this character: Persona 4 is one of those rare fandoms where I can pretty much ship everyone with everyone. I mainly ship him with Souji/Yu, but it’s not hard to ship him with Chie. I’ve written fic of him and Naoto. There’s a brilliant fic of him and Adachi. The list goes on.
My non-romantic OTP for this character: Teddie, mostly because I keep thinking of Teddie as a 5-year-old child, so I don’t romantic ship him with anyone (maaaaaybe Nanako when she gets older).
My unpopular opinion about this character: Yosuke and homophobia. Does he have an unfavorable opinion of Kanji? In the beginning, sure, but it’s very short lived. It happens in his dungeon (which no one ever seems to address the fact that everyone thought that place was weird, even Kanji himself) and the camping trip (which, again, no one seems to address the fact that by the next day they’re all hanging out together, if he were truly homophobic he still wouldn’t want to be near Kanji, at all, THAT’S what homophobia is, that’s not Yosuke). It doesn’t take long for him to joke around with him. Does Kanji think the jokes aren’t funny? Sure, but if you pay attention to Yosuke, he jokes around with everyone. That’s who he is. And as the game goes on his friendship with Kanji is just as strong as his friendship with the others, to the point of him calling him dependable. What homophobic person would say that? Persona 4 is all about growth and development, and everyone praises it for this, but somehow everyone has Yosuke stuck on, “Oh no don’t come near me I don’t want to catch the gay.”
One thing I wish would happen/had happened with this character in canon: I do kinda wish that he was a romance option. I feel like they were so close to having it in the game.
I’m convince they only got arrested because Yosuke violated the blade with his tongue. Damnit Yosuke.
Sketched some Yosuke based Christmas stockings for a commission. Now I want to sketch more Persona 4 stockings -_- My wifey will be making the first one for the commission, since she makes character based Christmas stockings :)

all time favorite ships → protagonist/yosuke
You’re special to me, you know?
Real talk though, I know that Souji/Yu did a lot for everyone, but what I really liked about the anime was that he obviously needed his friends, too. Especially Yosuke. Shipping glasses or not, Yosuke did a lot, a LOT, to help that boy <3 I know Yosuke gets painted as the joking, annoying, kinda asshole character but, honestly, he’s really great. It’s hard not to appreciate a guy who pulls someone out of the shadows, only to sink into those same shadows, but smiles the whole way through because at least his friend is safe.
