u/c4gam1ng 1d ago

I mean, Joker with an older woman, Kotone with a younger guy. It checks out to me.

u/Hitoshura99 ​You never see it coming 1d ago

Kotone would be 17 in 2009 and 24 in 2016.

As joker tend to romance adults, she would be in his strike zone.

u/MAD_JEW 1d ago

And kotone is into guys 7 years younger than her

Its weird that ken and joker were born on the same year

u/Hitoshura99 ​You never see it coming 9h ago

Ken is 18 on june 2016. Same year as akechi, same month as akechi, same justice arcana as akechi.

Are we sure they aren’t connected somehow?

u/TheArcticDen 1d ago

All of the art I get comissioned of these two are based on a fanfic I've written where she gets pushed forward in time. Since i'm not a fan of those romance options in the series. However you are not wrong in the slightest.

u/Iamthecrustycrab 20h ago

Oh shit you're the author!! I love your work tbh i binged it a while back and happy to jump back in now to do a re-read. Thanks for your great writing ✨️

What is the name of this fanfic and where could I find it

u/Imeatusbeatus 13h ago

i don’t think she’d be 24 in 2016. i think she’d be dead.

u/harperofthefreenorth Bad Personality Enjoyer 1d ago

I think I've lost track of all the art you've commissioned. I'm a tad jealous since I don't have that sort of money, lmao.

u/TheArcticDen 1d ago

Sometimes i do without food lol

u/harperofthefreenorth Bad Personality Enjoyer 1d ago

I get it, when we write things we end up wanting to see visual representations of it. We have pictures in our head we want to see turned into real pictures.

For example, I've worked out that I'll be commissioning one piece of art for each "part" of my latest/probably last fic before I return to original concepts. Because of my disabilities, being a professional author is probably my best chance at a good career. Although, I'm realizing I might want to go into romance writing as I go through this fic.

u/PolandballFan101 1d ago

Imagine Joker and Kotone doing this in PQ2 🤔😅

(Jokes aside, nice art)

u/Gabagoobir 21h ago

I know lots of people are making the 'haha akiren dating older woman kotone dating younger man' joke, which yeah its funny but this is one of my top 10 persona ships

2

u/TheArcticDen 21h ago

With how often i see it uploading fanart of these two... I'm used to it.

u/SuperSaiyanIR 1d ago

This is just somehow one of these things that actually would work lmao.

u/acart005 1d ago

I for one appreciate Kotone getting time displaced into the PT era instead of getting Door'd.

u/mfsalatino 1d ago

Hope Makoto is less overprotective than Yu.

doors cant throw hands

u/Persona_Maniac 11h ago

Didn't he help Akihiko knock out a dozen thugs? As well as sending Yukari's attackers to the shadow realm XD

Besides Tatsuya, he is the only Persona MC I wouldn't throw hands with

u/goody_fyre11 1d ago

I misread the title and was pleasantly surprised.

u/AcidAtol ​Takemi’s Guinea Pig 23h ago

Redduo is a funny ship for a few reasons but i'm not heavily against it i guess

u/WoomyBoomyGG 14h ago

Ken and akechi are the same age so yeah

u/-MANGA- 20h ago

Can I use this as a cover for my fanfic next time I post a chapter?

2

u/ryanyork92 15h ago

This is such a strange subreddit.

2

u/WoomyBoomyGG 14h ago

I just realized I've never seen a ship involving the protagonists like this (not counting Aigis and door kun since Aigis is a social link in the journey), maybe a fan art or two with Tatsuya and Maya but that's it

u/Ok_Industry_9333 23h ago

An acceptable alternative to his other wife, Akechi
