Tfw you're tired and have a headache but can't go to sleep yet because you have to hustle and keep working. (Despair.)

You know, for a self-proclaimed Souyo fan, I sure haven't drawn any Souyo.

I know Yosuke is usually associated with puppy energy, but I still like the idea of him sometimes acting like a cat. Like one day, when they're older and together, Yosuke walks into the living room with his headphones on, looking tired and pensive.

I can't stop rewatching the two scenes where Yosuke and Yu scream like they've lost their goddamn worlds, because as far as they both understand in their respective moments, THEY HAVE.

You know, after watching the P4 anime, I realized we never needed them to add a romance route for Yosuke in Revival because the anime already made Souyo canon back in 2011. And the anime team handled it with so much more care and love than Atlus ever could.

I have a lot of work to do, but I think I'm going to draw. I'm going to lose my mind if I don't do something recreation with at least part of my weekend...

I just finished the P4 anime for the first time, and I'm so emotional about it. The animation team put so much Souyo in there, it's like impossible to deny. I can't believe what a beautiful adaption that was. The team really loved the game. They did it such great justice.

I bet Yu becomes really meticulous about caring for his hands and nails after he and Yosuke start going out. He probably carries hand cream with him everywhere and is constantly using it. And he cuts and files his nails every week, and makes sure he doesn't have any hangnails...

brumal / マル @brumalbreeze.bsky.social · 02/10/2026

My headcanon is that Yosuke doesn't start calling Yu by first name until they officially start dating, so it feels too intimate when Yosuke does it in the anime. I legitimately get embarrassed whenever he goes, "Yu!" because the way he says it is always so sweet. 😭

brumal / マル @brumalbreeze.bsky.social · 01/10/2026

Feeling conflicted about a Souyo fic I'm writing because point: I don't have time for Hanamura Yosuke's internalized homophobia bullshit, but counterpoint: is a Souyo fic really Souyo fic without Hanamura Yosuke's internalized homophobia bullshit screwing everything up? 🤔

I was explaining to friends about the Mega Beef Bowl challenge in P4(G) and how it's only offered on rainy days, and then mentioned how it rained for 34 days straight in Tokyo. And one of them was like, "Can you imagine eating Mega Beef Bowls for 34 days in a row" and killed me.

Unresolved Souyo where they're living together in Tokyo, and Yu KNOWS Yosuke likes him back but won't come to terms with it, and he eventually gets fed up. So one day he walks into the living room holding up two shirts and asks Yosuke which looks better on him.

My side gig just asked me to do a file for them, and against my better judgment (because I've been pretty stressed out and busy with a lot of stuff lately), I'm gonna accept it because I need the extra money. 😭 Send me good luck in getting my shit together THIS month, for sure.

brumal / マル @brumalbreeze.bsky.social · 29/09/2026

(I'm trying not to overthink it, but my most recent Souyo fic hasn't been doing too well in terms of numbers, and I'm wondering if it's because I wrote way too much exposition in it lmfao)

brumal / マル @brumalbreeze.bsky.social · 28/09/2026

I managed to draw Yu looking so fondly at Yosuke that it's making me mad. Dammit, I'm going for a run.

There's nothing like intimately holding hands with yourself so you can draw cute pictures of your favorite ship holding each other's hands.

Okay, after working in dead silence for two days on my Souyo fic, it's time to put some Persona music on and DRAW SOME MORE SOUYO!!!!

brumal / マル @brumalbreeze.bsky.social · 27/09/2026

Here's my newest #Souyo fic! It's NSFW, so viewer's discretion is advised. Yu and Yosuke move on to practicing other things since they've gotten so good at kissing. They don't go all the way, but the Souyo dynamics are top!Yu and bottom!Yosuke coded. archiveofourown.org/works/92715216

Screenshot of a fic from AO3. The story is titled "Practice Makes Perfect" and is written by brumlabreeze.

The summary starts off with a text message from Narukami Yu with the subject line "Saturday." The message reads," Hey, hope work wasn't too bad today.

I was wondering if you wanted to stay the night tomorrow. My uncle said he won't be coming home because of work, and Nanako has a sleepover with one of her friends. Neither of them will be back until at least Sunday afternoon."

A line of description follows the text message and reads, "Yosuke fell back on his bed, grabbed his pillow, and screamed as silently as he could into it."

brumal / マル @brumalbreeze.bsky.social · 27/09/2026

Yosuke invites Yu over to his place so he can teach Yu how to play the bass better (but it's actually him trying to be smooth; it doesn't work because Yu sees right through him). Then Yosuke is the one who can't keep it together when Yu glances up from playing and smiles at him.

I don't know if Persona ever did a collab with JINS before, but I hope they do for P4R. I would buy a pair of Yu's and Yosuke's glasses SO FAST. No hesitation, baby. Immediately making that pre-order.

How much faith does everyone (including me) have in me that I can finish the sequel to Practice Partner today? I was able to write about 5k for it last night and am about maybe halfway through it? I might be able to do it if I don't drag my feet. 🤔

brumal / マル @brumalbreeze.bsky.social · 26/09/2026

Yu starts working at a coffee shop, and every time Yosuke stops by for a drink, he always writes "Yosuke ♡" on his cup or receipt. And he says it that way too when he calls Yosuke to the counter to pick up his order. Yosuke acts like he hates it, but he saves the receipts.

000

brumal / マル @brumalbreeze.bsky.social · 26/09/2026

Yu gets a part-time job at a flower shop, and he's allowed to take flowers they're about to throw away, so he makes bouquets for Yosuke. Yosuke says, "Stupid, that's for girls" every time but also refuses to return them whenever Yu says, "I'll give it to one of the others, then."

I just finished writing a section in my Souyo fic and got a little embarrassed rereading it because it's like. So sweet and intimate. (I hope people get the dokis when they get to that part too.)

I have three art WIPs and two fics I'm actively working on right now (all Souyo), and I feel like a madwoman trying to produce so much fanwork so fast, but I just. I really want to manifest the Souyo community finding me. Please. I want to connect with the fandom so badly!! 😭

I wish I were the kind of writer who can work while listening to music, but I always get so distracted so I have no choice but to just sit here in dead silence and type away for hours. 🥲

Ugh, just realized I made a typo in my post for my latest Yosuke drawing but OH WELL. Let it be known that I am human and also painstakingly write out all my Japanese messages myself instead of using machine translation because I didn't spend years learning it for nothing. 😭

brumal / マル @brumalbreeze.bsky.social · 24/09/2026

Wait, wait, wait. AU where Yosuke is the literal prince of the monarchy of Junes, and Yu is his knight, and their relationship is extremely complicated because it's supposed to be strictly professional and platonic, but what they feel for each other exceeds those bounds.

brumal / マル @brumalbreeze.bsky.social · 24/09/2026

Okay, here's another #Souyo fic I wrote a while back. It's basically 5.5k words of Inaba roasting the hell out of Yosuke. Mostly comedic with a bit of angst and fluff at the end. Top!Yu/Bottom!Yosuke coded

A screenshot of an AO3 summary for a fic that's titled "A Yosuke Only a Yu Could Love" that's written by brumalbreeze.

The summary is, "Yu and Yosuke start dating and everyone in Inaba starts looking at them with pitying and/or judgmental eyes.

Not because they're bigoted or anything, but because of all the good people in town Yu could've chosen as a romantic partner, Hanamura Yosuke?"

010

brumal / マル @brumalbreeze.bsky.social · 24/09/2026

Yu saying some cheesy pick-up line and Yosuke laughing at him like, "Save that for your future girlfriend or something, dude. That stuff won't work on me!" and Yu leaning deliberately close to Yosuke's face with a smile and going, "Won't they?" and immediately destroying Yosuke.

I LOVE the idea of a jealous and possessive Yu, but I also adore the idea of Yosuke being the jealous and possessive one because 1) Yu is incredibly popular and well-liked by everyone in Inaba and 2) Yosuke naturally has low self-esteem, so he's always worried Yu will realize ↓

Alright, I was like half-delusional the entire time, but I managed to add about 3k more words to my current Souyo fic. The end is nowhere to be seen... I don't even have any idea where it will end...

A screenshot of the word count on a document. It says, "12,355 words, 67,149 characters."

Thought I'd share this #Souyo fic I wrote here too. This is a parody(?) of the "Let's practice kissing for our future girlfriends" trope, and instead, Yu and Yosuke practice kissing...for each other? Don't worry about it. Top!Yu/Bottom!Yosuke coded archiveofourown.org/works/89734936

Screenshot of a fic summary from AO3. The title of the story is "Practice Partner" and is written by brumalbreeze.

The summary is as follows:

"Hey, you know..." Yosuke said quietly, flicking the clip on the end of his mechanical pencil repeatedly. "I've been thinking, but... Maybe we should..." He stopped abruptly, made a frustrated noise, and rubbed at his forehead and eyes furiously.

Yu's blood went cold. He didn't like the sound of that opener. It had only been two weeks since they started dating. Was Yosuke really trying to break up with him alrea—

"I think maybe we should practice kissing," Yosuke said in a single rushed breath.

"...What?"

I got some INCREDIBLE fanservice from Yosuke's dancer at TGS. 😭 I was standing at the front during the second show, and when I waved wildly at him, HE SMILED AND WAVED BACK! And at the end, I called out to him and HE LOOKED AT ME AND WAVED AGAIN! 😭 I'M STILL SO HAPPY. (2nd video in reply)

I attended the final day of TGS! It was wild in more ways than one and I'm exhausted from it, but I had so much fun! I'm so glad I was able to watch the Persona dancers perform twice! 😭 I'm so happy I could die rn. 🥺
