Wip Wednesday today is another part of Coup de Grace, aka the Haru Basement AU, which I am determined to get done and posted before the end of the year, in which Haru and Akechi have a little chat about why he's here
#jjw

She steps down into the wine cellar and opens the door. When she does, she sees a smile spread across Akechi's face, so pleased to have been proven right.
He’ll underestimate you, she reminds herself. He never thought you capable of this. He probably never spared you a second thought in his life.
“Haru-san,” he greets, so satisfied it almost makes her hands curl into fists. “I’m sure you'll agree that this has gone far enough.”
“No,” she answers primly. She refuses to sound defensive, or petulant. She is a master of controlling her tone, like he is - she sounds certain, matter-of-fact. “I don't agree.”
“Is this some sort of hazing, for the newest member of your group?” he continues as if she hasn't spoken. “I didn't think the Phantom Thieves were juvenile enough to be cruel.”
“I did this,” Haru states. “The others don’t know.”
His smile curves larger and she realises that she's played into his hands. He was fishing for information, and she gave it without a second thought. Embarrassment burns, but she doesn't let it show on her face.

“You are here until I'm sure that the thieves are safe,” she adds, determined to get the next word in before he can. “I'm not letting you go just because you ask nicely.”
“Safe from what, exactly?” he counters. “Sae Niijima intends to arrest your entire group - frankly, I'm the only one who could possibly change her mind. How am I currently threatening you all?”
We could say he stole the guard’s gun and committed suicide during his imprisonment… how about that?
“Not all of us,” she admits, deciding she can play this card. “Ren-kun. You're threatening him.”
“Ren-kun and I are friends,” he says. He lies to her in a slow, patient tone, like she's stupid. “In fact, I'm closer to Ren than I am to any of the others in the group. Why would I possibly threaten him?”
Because you're a liar. Because you’re a nasty, selfish boy who can't bear kind, selfless people. Because you’ve been using him for your own reasons.
“I don't know. But I won't let you do what you promised that man on the phone you would.”
That makes his expression change. She watches the affability shutter, and something cold pass over his face. It's like summer to winter. It's like a new set of barriers came crashing down. Barbed wire, over the brick walls.
“What man, Haru-san?”

In a normal world, this should be an immense scandal in Europe.

Le Monde has a long article describing the hellish life of Nicolas Guillou, a French judge at the ICC in The Hague, due to U.S. sanctions punishing him for authorizing arrest warrants against Netanyahu and Gallant for war crimes in Gaza.

Guillou's daily existence has been transformed into a Kafkaesque nightmare. He cannot: open or maintain accounts with Google, Amazon, Apple, or any US company; make hotel reservations (Expedia canceled his booking in France hours after he made it); conduct online commerce, since he can't know if the packaging is American; use any major credit card (Visa, Mastercard, Amex are all American); access normal banking services, even with non-American banks, as banks worldwide close sanctioned accounts; conduct virtually any financial transaction.

He describes it as being "economically banned across most of the planet," including in his own country, France, and where he works, the Netherlands.

That's the real shocking aspect of this: the Americans are:

- punishing a European citizen
- for doing his job in Europe
- applying laws Europe officially supports
- at an institution based in Europe
- that Europe helped create and fund

and Europe is not only doing essentially nothing to protect him, they're actively enforcing America's sanctions against their own citizen - European banks closing his accounts, European companies refusing him service, European institutions standing by while Washington destroys a European judge's life on European soil.

Again, in a normal world, European leaders and citizens should be absolutely outraged about this. But we've so normalized the hollowing out of European sovereignty that the sight of a European citizen being economically executed on European soil for upholding European law is treated, at best, as an unfortunate technical complication in transatlantic

late, but then again so is akechi here #shuake

Stylized fanart of Goro Akechi from Persona 5. Akechi is leaning heavily against the interrogation room door viewed at a downward fish-eyed angle and holding a gun in his right hand. He has a look of pure disbelief / humiliation. His shadow and the words "SHIT! I'M IN LOVE WITH HIM!!" are stark red against the rest of the monochromatic sickly green drawing.
