Ace Detective Naoto
Pfft! Isn’t there even a part in the dungeon dialogue where she says something like, “I don’t think Tatsumi-kun likes me very much, he always looks away when I’m around,” or something like that? Oh Naoto, you precious thing.

Pfft! Oh man. This part. Just… oh goodness. Kanji’s eyes are the best, like, “I just spent hours on tumblr trying to find this very picture of Naoto and I FINALLY FOUND IT!”
So I’ve been trying to get something in a Dreamspinner Anthology for a while. Last year, nothing made it, but this year I saw that they were doing a sports anthology. I thought, “I’m gonna write about video games,” because… I’m a geek.
And holy shit it worked.
So I’m reposting this because it comes out in a month and my video game short story will be in it! It’s a tale of gay romance, video game stereotypes and the people who happily turn them upside down. It’s got all sorts of fun video game references, because video gaming is a sport, right? You can either get the entire anthology, or buy the stories individually in June. Mine is called “Press START to Play.”
Below is a story description and a small snippet where I make mention of
my obsessiona game series I like ^^Description: Lukis Singleton’s once-popular sports column is fading fast, thanks to the terrible track record of the local football team. In an attempt to save the column, Lukis’s editor, John, decides that he needs to go in a different direction. Video games are all the rage these days, so John insists that sending Lukis to a huge video-game tournament in Los Angeles will shake up his current readers and bring in new ones. Lukis isn’t thrilled about reporting of games with impossible powers or gamers who still live in Mon’s basement, but then he meets a tempting flaw in the game stereotypes of unwashed man-children. Aaron Sanders is a gorgeous breath of fresh air at the tournament who takes Lukis’s less-than-stellar view of gamers and turns it on its head, leaving Lukis to wonder if if might be worth being Aaron’s player two.
Snippet:
Lukis wonders, as he watches the intro video, why high school students are even allowed to fight with swords and strange monsters that they can summon. Don’t they have parents? And since when can bears talk, fight, and smoke cigars? Was that a robot just now? With an axe?
“Told ya it was completely different,” Aaron says, picking some kid who uses a gun and has some sort of fly as a monster friend.
It’s still exciting to watch, he thinks. Aaron’s character is fighting against some tall, buff guy who uses a folding chair as a weapon, it makes no sense at all; who brings a chair to a gunfight?

Yes I made a kannao reference in something I’m getting published. I realize I have a problem. No I do not wish to seek help thanks though.
In which my OTP makes an appearance in my original writing. Yeah.
lets play “how gay can you be with your best friend without it getting weird”
The plot summary of Persona 4 folks.
PEROFELLA
(NEVER
FORGET)
[ The fandom that watches together, stays together… ]
Indeed.
*wear shirt proudly… With tears*
The scissors. Never forget, kids. Make them float into your hands.
What? You never saw Naoto moonwalk before?
Psh.
oh yeah I have prints on sale right now k
My blog has been hit by a smooth criminal. Urm… detective, because Naoto’s no criminal y'all.
Hey guys! Do you like me?!
Okay, now how about LOOOOOVE me!?
I’m now in the print-making game, selling photos of my cosplays! Although, at this point, it’s just Ms. Naoto. :3The prints are approximately 11x17 inches, which is the size of an actual (small) poster! Not just those regular old 8x11 prints, for 25 dollars like some cosplayers sell! This is only 13.70 which covers most of the overhead and leaves a couple dollars for me to stash away in a cosplay fund :)
If you’re interested, they are on sale through Zazzle here!
If my followers would do me a huge solid and pass this post along, I would be eternally grateful! :D
Thank you guys so much ~
Look it’s one of my not so secret cosplay crushes. Perfect Naoto cosplayer being perfect. Now in print format!
i’m bringing a few selections back though as a reminder that kanji tatsumi is the best character in this fucking game (kanji gives you that cookie)
so good
Never forget. This is why Naoto loves him so much right?
Commission for PeachyKeenCassie over on deviantArt! This is Junpei Iori and Naoto Shirogane from Persona 3 and 4, respectively.
I was given a lot of cute prompts to work with, :3 I just wish Naopei didn’t involve me having to draw so many hats, ahahaha, 8D;
Enjoy!
Oh no cute arts. Oh no possible new ship. Oh no. Randomly I love how he gropes her like all the time come on Junpei, lol
[Headcanon] That time we almost broke up over swimming and anime
My dash is so bonkers right now with “the swimming anime” AKA “Free” AKA “that swimming anime,” that I just… had to write this.
Warnings: OT3, swimming anime, Naoto not taking any of that shit, Rise being Rise, and Kanji caught in the middle
In case anyone missed the crack headcanon in honor of the swimming anime becoming an anime :)
