yosuke ❝gay thoughts caught me❞ hanamura

Rank 7

▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬

Twin number one. He found Yosuke in a trash can. Somehow that didn't tranish his impression and they've become better friends steadily over the months. He's arguably more friendly and zany than his twin, which is sometimes exhausting, and has a questionable obsession with cats. He's got the most memories of Souji, but he's not sure what that's supposed to mean. And Souji nearly walked into traffic due to sleep exhaustion and Yosuke promptly took a Critical Hit for him, like any good Magician S. Link.

Rank 9

▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬

Cousin Keigo! He's about 3 years older than Yosuke and the two spent a lot of time together as children when Yosuke still lived in Japan. They have a lot in common, both in interests and their way of thinking. He's arguably the easiest person for Yosuke to talk to and helped him sort out his feelings for Yu. They give each other a fair amount of shit in a loving family kind of way.

Rank 6

▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬

One of the people Yosuke graviated towards when he first moved to Recolle, and not just because she's super pretty. He has asked her out and she's definitely turned him down, but they've become pretty good friends. As long as you don't piss her off, shes a pretty cool gal. He loves her cooking and she played him a killer sax solo for his birthday! She can also now create fire, which he's a little jealous of, but he's still someone he feels like he can confide in.

Rank 4

▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬

A cop who jokingly threatened to arrest him online, and then Yosuke accidentally broke his outdated cellphone. Somehow from all of that shit they gave each other, they've started to become Friends. (Captial F.) Mako is a weird but cool dude and also unfairly attractive. They bounce off conspiracy theories and Mako is even teaching Yosuke how to box. But more than that he was actually worried when Yosuke got hit by that car. Mako's Adventures In Friending™

Rank 9

▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬

Twin number two, who also found him in a trash can. A couple classes and study sessions very quickly turned into a pretty close friendship. They bonded over their shared interest in music. Yosuke's been proud to call Yu one of his best friends, embarrassing memories and all. Yu surprised him by asking him out with a cleverly arranged playlist, so now Yosuke calls Yu his boyfriend...in private, and to a few close friends. Yu is a pretty awesome guy, Yosuke just wishes he knew how much.

Rank 5

▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬

They met through bingo when Yosuke had to dial a random number and they've been hanging out ever since. Ann is, of course, absolutely gorgeous but also a really cool girl. She's easy to talk to and they've gone on multiple food adventures, most notably to McDonald's (a little inebriate) where they were asked to leave after Ann flipped out over no McFlurries. Finding out that she's a Persona user AND that she's dating Mako? Could she get more awesome? Hard to tell. But he's glad she's his friend.

Rank 1

▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬

A little pushy, but nice. Nui and Yosuke worked together on a scanvanger hunt and he found out she's fairly perceptive, if a little more movitated by food and fun. She does like to tease him which he can take in variying levels of flustering.

Rank 2

▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬

A really cool dude. Seriously. Yosuke thinks that Bucky is pretty awesome, even if he does make jokes at Yosuke's expense. His little sister isn't much differnet. But they do share conspiracy theories and have a common interest in guitar. It's definitely a "senpai please notice me" scenario except Yosuke is technically the senpai. (Setting the example as per usual.)

Rank 4

▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬

One of his online gaming bubdies turned real life buddy, who totally kicks his ass on a regular basis. Unsurprisingly, Futaba is a bit of a troll in both enviroments, and while she knows how to mess with Yosuke pretty well, he knows she's a smart girl. Nerdy but cool! Even if she did mess with him by sneaking an Alexa in his house and making it sounds like one of those horrible singing bass.

Rank 3

▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬

A smart kid from school that Yosuke hasn't put a whole ton of stock into, but seems like a decent dude. A little socially awkward, sure, but from what Yosuke can tell he hasn't exactly had it easy. Also part of the Scooby Gang, it looks like they'll be seeing a lot more of each other. Except apparently Yosuke has been in one of Naoto's memories? What's with that?

Rank 6

▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬

One of the first people Yosuke really got to bond with at school--his English wasn't that great when he first moved to the states, but Eleanor was patient and nice enough to help him out, so he's arguably fond of her. Her calm demeanor is a nice balance to his exuberance. She's getting sad visions, though, so he's starting to worry...what is Retrospec trying to show her?

Rank 1

▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬

A girl with cat ears--no, really. That in and of itself is noteworthy, but she's been a pretty cool and chill person. She let Yosuke borrow her bike for BINGO, which actually meant that she drove it and he rode on the back. But it was still a cool experience.

Rank 1

▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬

A very strange girl who can totally kick his ass at online gaming (and maybe in person). He has a hard time following her train of thought most of the time. They did explore the Retrospec HQ building together and discovered an intern with some unfortunate preferences.

Rank 1

▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬

A very strange high school dropout. His interactions with her have been equally strange and usually related to how weird Retrospec is being, but Yosuke is starting to suspect she's got a scary side. No--she definitely does. It's like talking to someone who should be staring in a horror movie as the monster, but look way too cute.

Rank 4

▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬

A nice and reliable guy. Yosuke had seen him around a bit before, but the Bingo event and a relationship with Souji got them talking. He's a classmate and an easy going guy, as far as Yosuke can tell. He inadverantly walked into Yosuke's sexuality crisis and actually has offered some good advice, so now he's someone that Yosuke is ready to trust.

Rank 3

▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬

Kind of grumpy, quiet classmate who is really just as grumpy but less quiet than Yosuke imagined. They were originally set up on a blind date for valentine's day that Yosuke refused to let be a date, but he continued to bother Karkat afterwards. It turns out that he's pretty good friends with Yu and Yosuke ended up making the assumption that they were dating. Awkward? He wasn't jealous. Nope. Not at all.

Rank 4

▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬

Totally rockin' senpai from when Yosuke first moved to Recolle. They met through a community music coalition and, really, it's hard not to like Minako. Yosuke thinks she's super sweet and talented. And who wouldn't? He might idolize her a bit more than he should, but he keeps it (mostly) on the down-lo. Also her dog is cute.xt ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book.
