persona 2 innocent sin. Aaaaand… send.

Len @liorlen.bsky.social · 4w ago

Basically just stole that one joke from spiderverse

A comic of Yosuke and Yu from Persona 4. Panel 1: Close up of Yosuke with his TV World glasses as he speaks. He says, “Man… How is it that I look like a dork in these glasses…” Panel 2: Yosuke shields his eyes from Yu, who is comedically glowing, giving off cartoonish sparkles. Yu has a calm and collected expression and he is also wearing his glasses. Yosuke continues, “…but you’re somehow pulling them off??” Panel 3: Yosuke is shown from the back with his arms crossed and head facing up. Yu can be seen facing Yosuke, his eyes on the other boy. Yosuke says, “It’s really unfair how cool you are sometimes, partner.” Yu says, “I think you look cute.” Panel 4: close up of Yosuke as he turns to look at Yu in confusion. “W-what?” He asks. Panel 5: Yu is facing forward, but his eyes are turned downward, almost like they see the caption box. The caption box is styled to be visually similar to the text boxes in-game for Persona 4. The box has two lines. Line one reads, “>Say it again. Louder.” Line two reads, “>Play dumb.” The first line is highlighted. Panel 6: Yosuke stands in the same position, but his head is tilted and his eyes are now looking to the side with slight frustration. The text box is still there and now reads, “You don’t feel brave enough to do that.” Panel 7: Yu stands in the same position, but his face has turned back to face forward, presumably toward Yosuke. He is in the middle of saying something. The text box, which is still there, has the same lines as panel 5, but this time “Play dumb,” is selected. Yu is saying, “…What are glasses?”

Part 2 (1/2)

A five page comic featuring the Persona 4 characters Yosuke Hanamura and Yu Narukami. Page 1 of 5. Panel 1: Yosuke stands in front of Yu with his shoulders hunched and head looking down. Yu stares back with wide eyes. Yosuke says: “When I said you were special to me… I meant it like that. Shit. It must feel weird being confessed to by a guy. It feels kinda weird confessing TO one.” Panel 2: Close up on Yosuke as he continues to stare down at his feet. His expression is twisted into nervous fear. He says, “But I just needed to tell you the truth. I promise we can still be par— friends. I won’t let this get in the way.” Panel 3: Yu stares back, his eyes are not fully visible. Panel 4: A hand, presumably Yu’s, reaches up. Yosuke says, “Please—“ Panel 5: Yu caresses the cheek of a surprised Yosuke with his hand.

Page 2 of 5. Panel 1: Yosuke has stopped talking nervously as Yu continues to caress his face. Yu’s expression of fully visible and he seems happy. Yu is surrounded by shoujo-esque roses and sparkles. “Yosuke…,” Yu says. Panel 2: Yu pulls his hand back as he stares straight on at Yosuke with a slightly contrite expression. He says, “I’ve actually wanted to do that for a long time. Was that… OK?” Panel 3: Yosuke stares back in shock. “um-?” He says. Panel 4: Yosuke turns away to look around the area. “N-No one’s around right?” He asks, “As long as no one s—!”

Page 3 of 5. Yosuke pulls back, interrupting his own sentence as his mind catches up. He clutches Yu’s hand (the one that had caressed him) in shock as he stares wide eyed. He says, “Wait. Wait wait wait. You just. You? Caressed my—? Face? My face??” Panel 2: Yu smiles at Yosuke warmly as he huffs a laugh. Panel 3: A medium shot of Yu and Yosuke standing in the grass of the floodplain. Yu holds Yosuke’s hand as he says, “I like you too, partner.” Panel 4: Close up of Yu’s face with a more closed off, self deprecating smile. He says, “ I have… for awhile now.” Panel 5: Yosuke stares back and begins, “For—“

Page 4 of 5. Panel 1: Yosuke steps closer to Yu, putting the hand not holding the other boy’s hand on his arm. Yosuke’s expression is concerned as he asks, “…Awhile?” Panel 2: Close up of Yu’s expression, the light casting a deep shadow on his face as he looks away. Yosuke simply emits an “Oh…” Panel 3: Close up of Yu and Yosuke holding hands. Yosuke says, “Oh man. I… I’ve been a real jerk, huh? I’m sorry it took me so long to catch up, Yu. I won’t be making you wait any longer.” Panel 4: Yosuke smiles brightly at Yu, who is finally looking back up at him.

a souyo comic idea that was eating away at me as I replayed persona 4

Comic page 1 of 4. Panel 1: Yosuke from Persona 4 lays in bed, arm over his head as he looks at the ceiling. He’s in his summer attire: a short sleeve shirt, white with red bird silhouettes displayed on it, and orange-red pants. Captions, his thoughts, read, “Sometimes, I wish my shadow would come back.” Panel 2: Yosuke looks toward the bathroom door. Captions read, “Wouldn’t it make everything so much easier?… to have the decision taken away from me and…” Panel 3: Yosuke stands in his bathroom, in front of the mirror displayed over the sink. Captions read, “Just let it say all the shit I’m too scared to admit. Like…”

souyo festival date

A comic depicting Yosuke Hanamura and Yu Narukami from Persona 4. Page 1. Panel 1: the summer festival at night. Overlapping with the panel is an image of Yosuke dressed in a red-orange yukata, waving shyly. He says, “H-hey, partner. Were you, uh, waiting long?” Panel 2: Yu looks at Yosuke with a vaguely shocked expression as he says, “Y-Yosuke…” Panel 3: Yosuke awkwardly rubs his neck as he looks away. He says, “Heh… I look really weird like this, don’t I…?”

Page 2 of 3. Panel 1: Yosuke still has his hand on his neck and is looking away with a small frown. He says, “I mean, I guess I just figured that… well if you’d gone with a girl, she for sure would have gone through the effort of dressing up and I-“ Panel 2: Yosuke hunches his shoulders as his expression twists further into insecurity. He continues, “Well, obviously I’m not a girl! I’m not as cute as a girl. Or cute at all even.” A speech bubble overlaps with Yosuke’s as he continues talking, trying to interrupt, “Yosuke!” It says. Yosuke continues speaking: “N-Not that I want to be cute!” Panel 3: Yosuke’s posture is hunched, head looking down, as Yu attempts to reach out to him, hands on the other boy’s shoulders. Yosuke says, “That’s for girls. But like, so’s dating boys. Or at least, it’s supposed to be? No, that’s not right—“ Yosuke gets interrupted as Yu says loudly, “Yosuke!” Yu continues, “Just… look at me.” Panel 4: close up of Yosuke’s face as he lifts his head to look up at Yu, eyes wide, cheeks flushed. Panel 5: You looks back at Yosuke, blushing and expression openly smiling kindly. He says, “You look good partner. Really good.”

Page 3 of 3. Panel 1: Yosuke looks directly at Yu, stormy expression beginning to clear, as he says, “It’s really not… strange that I dressed up for another guy?” Panel 2: Yosuke is being pulled forward by Yu toward the trees surrounding the festival grounds. Yu looks at Yosuke with a small smile as he says, “We’re dating, of course it’s not. It really suits you Yosuke.” Panel 3: Yosuke sports a very small smile, his hunched shoulders dropping as he huffs a small laugh. Panel 4: Yosuke turns his eyes away from Yu, to their surroundings. His eyebrows furrow and he says, “Uh.. Yu, the festival’s that way… why’re you dragging me away from it…?” Panel 5: Close up of Yu holding Yosuke’s hand as he pulls him into the trees. Yu says, “Well. My very thoughtful boyfriend dressed up in a yukata just for our date. So now, I really want to make out with him up against a tree.” Yosuke responds by yelling, “Y-Yu!”

a souyo comic idea that was eating away at me as I replayed persona 4

Comic page 2 of 4. Panel 1: Yosuke stares at himself in the mirror. His reflection shows his shadow self staring back menacingly, with a mocking smile on its face and bright yellow eyes. It says, “You like him. You’re in love with him even… so the our dear partner.” It continues, “All that bullshit you said to Kanji didn’t prove anything…” Panel 2: a close up of the shadow’s face. It’s staring down at Yosuke with a cruel smile as it continues, “…Except what an asshole you are. Projecting-much?” Panel 3: the shadow’s face distorts into something even crueler as it says firmly, “You goddamn hypocrite.”

Comic page 3 of 4. Panel 1: Close up of Yosuke staring into his reflection in the mirror. The reflection is no longer being imagined as his shadow. It’s just him, with a somewhat disappointed and upset expression. Captions read, “I know. I know that I’m a coward.” Panel 2: viewed from behind, Yosuke leans over the sink with both hands gripping either side, head down. Captions read, “A hypocrite. Kanji’s always been way cooler than me, at least about that. Maybe I was jealous. But my shadow’s not coming back just to air out my sexuality crisis.” Panel 3: extreme close up of Yosuke’s face as he looks down, eyes not visible. Captions read, “I can’t keep running away.” Panel 4: Yosuke’s face lifts, revealing a determined expression.

Comic page 4 of 4. Panel 1: Scene change to the outdoors. We see tall grass visible behind two people, Yosuke and Yu Narukami, Persona 4’s protagonist. It seems to be near sunset. We cannot see Yu’s face as Yosuke reaches out to grab him and pull him back. A caption reads, “I’m gonna try to be brave, partner.” Yosuke says out loud, “Yu!” Panel 2: close up of Yosuke has he still has his hand holding onto Yu’s arm. He has a desperate expression on his face. Yosuke says, “Don’t go.” Panel 3: Yu stares back, blushing with an anticipatory expression on his face. Panel 4: Yosuke and Yu stand closely as Yosuke struggles to speak, blushing. Yu stares back. Yosuke says, “I-I like you.”

Whatever makes Grace happy… he clearly needs this

Art depicting Ryland Grace and Rocky from Project Hail Mary. Rocky is in his protective Xenonite ball and Grace has his arms around it, hugging it (and Rocky). Grace say, “I wish I could really hug you, buddy.” Rocky replies: “Grace would die. Grace would explode and die.” Grace responds, “You know what I mean, Rock.” Rocky says, “Yea :].”

look at my dispatcher bro I’m not succeeding this call

Robert Robertson from the video game Dispatch lying on the floor: back to the ground with his legs up, set on his office chair. He has his dispatching headset on and his eyes closed, one hand raised up to the headset and the other on his stomach.

Flambert in the break room

Flambae and Robert from the video game Dispatch. They are both on the ground, Flambae leaning menacingly over Robert, practically in his lap. Flambae’s left hand clutches Robert’s shirt. Robert says, “You should probably get that punch out of the way before someone walks in and thinks we’re fucking, big guy.” Flambae interrupts, “You homophobic or something, bitch? Don’t want our coworkers to think you’re fucking a guy?” Robert replies, “That… is not at all even close to the sentence that I just said.”

Waterboy when he solo succeeds on a dispatch despite having an 8 percent chance

Art of Waterboy from the game Dispatch hitting the “teehee eto… bleh” pose (hands lifted over his head, fingers tapping the front of his scalp, eyes are closed in an awkward expression and his tongue is peeking out).

#flambert and…. Waterboy???

Flambae and Robert from the game Dispatch kissing inside SDN’s break room. Robert is half-sitting on top of a counter while Flambae leans over him.

Flambae and Robert have stopped kissing to look over to the left where there is a vending machine in the break room. Waterboy is at the vending machine. Waterboy says, “The- My lunch. F-forgot… it.” Flambae then tells him, “Just fucking go already, Wetwipeboy.” Waterboy says, “O-okay. Right. Now. Leaving. B-bye!” but Robert interrupts, “Wait-“

Waterboy, Robert, and Flambae, with Robert in between the two others. Waterboy nervously leans over Robert, hand on the man’s exposed chest. He’s blushing heavily. Flambae stands opposite to Waterboy as he cups Robert’s face, leaning it in Waterboy’s direction.

I would like to earn a #VGenCode!! 2024 was a very unlucky year for me in the field of commissions (legit just one for the whole year). Here's some of my recent work to convince y'all, the first being my only 2024 comm 😅🌠 20 reposts + 100 likes are what it takes to get artist access, apparently 😰

why did he say this

A screenshot of Kingdom Come Deliverance 1 with Henry and Hans Capon in a forest. Hans is speaking and the subtitles say “Now you're playing with fire, boy, I could have you in the pillory for that - and then with my own two hands l'd... crush your balls. Hahaha!”
