"danganronpa isn't transphobic chihiro isn't trans" have you ever thought about anything for more than a minute in ur life. Have you ever heard of subtext or thought about how bigotry can lurk inside of writing. did u never think about the implications of what was happening. I agree that chihiro is not intended to be a trans character. and that reason IS transphobia. More specifically transmisogyny. chihiros death and the entire trial surrounding it, whether u like it or not, mirrors the real life fear and experiences of trans women harmed by transmisogyny. Chihiro was never viewed as trans to the writers because her fate was always a joke to them. And the way she was treated, and her emotional unhealthy turmoil was always a joke to them. so many people act like just because they didn't get a narrator saying "trans people are digusting and deserve to die" that it wasn't there. That the writers would ever view the struggles of transfeminine people as more than just a joke for a trope. I know I'm asking a lot for the danganronpa fandom to have a shred of media literacy but can u at least acknowledge the massive underlying harmful problem even if you headcanon whatever u want

I feel like Mahiru is one of Danganronpa’s most underrated characters. Of course, her development isn’t necessarily on par with a bunch of other characters who lived much longer than she did (with DR3′s “rushed” side and how many characters it had for such a short anime, I feel like including it would be unfair - everything DR3 Twilight Syndrome told us had already been at least insinuated by SDR2′s), especially as SDR2, as awesome of a game as it is, doesn’t do as great of a job of balancing its characters as its prequel, imo at least.

She was, however, written with the same intent as any other DR character- she’s the main character of her own story (and I’m not talking about the popular headcanon that she could have been the protagonist here). While she may have died early, only having been a headstrong but kind-hearted young girl as far as the main story went, Chapter 2′s motive explored her backstory and the very reason for her death brings up what makes her so strong… through very banal words, in fact.

(Props to @/miodaislifemiodaislove on Facebook for bringing this scene back to my attention)

Out of context, this screenshot very much gives off “people die when they are killed” vibes but that’s just what makes her a protagonist in our hearts. Within context, though, this is a pretty Hot Take. Thanks to DR3, we now have an idea of how close Satou and herself were, and the sadness she felt when she lost her. SDR2′s second motive pits Mahiru and Fuyuhiko one against the other through the sheer idea that remembering what happened will make the both of them want to use the Killing Game to get revenge for the loved one they lost. However, Mahiru decides to talk things out with Fuyuhiko.

At this point in the story, Fuyuhiko hasn’t even considered becoming friendly, if memory serves me right at least. Mahiru has to be aware how dangerous meeting with him is, especially with the knowledge that the game informed him of her involvement in Natsumi’s death, but she decided to risk it anyway. She never planned to kill him (a very honest Fuyuhiko tells us that much)- even though the game had informed her of Fuyuhiko’s involvement in Satou’s death. Simply because she strongly believes that revenge is wrong. These aren’t just words she says- she’s convinced of it. She could have hidden in fear, or called for help, but Mahiru decided to take the matter into her own hands… and most likely trusted in Fuyuhiko enough to believe she had a chance to knock some sense into him. No matter how unfriendly the guy was, she believed in him to be strong in that sense- and she might have been right, but she was unfortunately unaware of Peko’s relationship to him and her upbringing.

Looking into what happened in Chapter 2 does, in fact, tell us a lot about Mahiru’s personality, her strengths and weaknesses. The kind of person she is, more than on a surface level. With her family life in mind, I find it very interesting how independent she’s willing to be despite her sweet personality (more so portrayed in DR3 than SDR2, again, if memory serves me right), and her will to believe in giving people a chance… It hits hard, bro.

I feel like Mahiru is underrated because a lot of people dismiss her as “useless” (when they don’t hate her for being sexist which is a whole other topic and, imo, misconception about her characterization) and because people who do stan her are often dismissed as “fanboys/girls” who just happen to have a thing for girls like her. In truth, I feel like even though SDR2 sometimes failed to balance its characters’ time in the spotlight, Mahiru was very intelligently shown to us and she is one of the few early-game victims to have been properly explored before dying.

Mahiru isn’t useless. Thinking about her protagonist potential- I wonder just how popular she would be if she’d been the protagonist up until her death, similarly to Kaede. Her being a victim would immediately make it all the more tragic.

In any case, SDR2 dates back a bit to me now, and I’m glad to be able to give myself a refresher on what happened and what makes the characters I love the interesting little bastards they are. I would love to have time to replay it someday and look into early victims/killers with a lot more depth.

Angie, Tsumugi and Maki (for the ask meme)

Yippie! Can do!

Angie

Sexuality Headcanon: Pansexual! It’s the color scheme.

Gender Headcanon: She’s got somethin genderfunky going on for sure! Probably uses some neopronouns fr good for her.

A ship I have with said character: So genuinely, Shironaga(Tsumugi/Angie) is the only v3 ship I have any strong attachment to. Artist girlfriends with so many problems with accepting and letting themselves participate in reality,,,

A BROTP I have with said character: I think she and Gonta could’ve been friends. They’re both silly guys. Smarter than they look. Will do anything for what they consider the good of everyone.

A NOTP I have with said character: Not to be controversial but I’m not a big Himiangie(?) fan. I don’t like Hate It though ofc lol.

A random headcanon: Not a headcanon necessarily but I simply cannot stop thinking about a world where Angie was just really autistic about Sanrio. I think she deserves it. She can be a Pompompurin fan.

General Opinion over said character: Girl you’re so fascinating but your writing is unforgivably awful.

Tsumugi

Sexuality Headcanon: Pansexual also!

Gender Headcanon: I think she’s cis but like Cis+ yknow. She thought about it long and hard. She experimented. Good for her.

A ship I have with said character: Shironaga yet again! Though Kaemugi is fascinating as well.

A BROTP I have with said character: Can I say Gonta again? Can we talk about how she was the only bitch in that game to consistently stand up for him? BUT ALSO Hifumi. Chronically online tumblr mutuals. ALSO RANTARO but in a fun tense way.

A NOTP I have with said character: Hmm. I can’t see her romantically with Rantaro, but that’s the case for everyone. I suppose her and Kiibo? Not a fan.

A random headcanon: I’m sorry besties but Tsumugi would for sure unironically call her tumblr followers tumblrinas. She also would write the longest meta posts about her favorite shows.

General Opinion over said character: In terms of potential, I like her maybe even more than Junko. Too bad v3’s execution of its twists was so completely botched.

Maki

Sexuality Headcanon: An aroace lesbian fr.

Gender Headcanon: There’s def some gender stuff going on but I don’t think she’d bother to really think about it much. She just vibes.

A ship I have with said character: Tenkaemaki! All three of them can kiss and hold hands.

A BROTP I have with said character: I think. She and Mukuro and Peko should all be friends. Maybe kiss also but that’s not what this is about lol. If we’re talking pure nonshipped friendships, then her and Kirumi I think! Unless,,, (Training trio also but that’s obvious).

A NOTP I have with said character: Sorry training trio polycule enjoyers I just don’t see Maki with either of those boys romantically.

A random headcanon: I think Maki would really like baking if she took the time to do it. It’s nice to have something less physically intensive to do sometimes.

General Opinion over said character: One of the better parts of v3. I’m sorry for my Kokichi stanning era, queen. I’ve learned and grown since then.

Reblogging this cuz of the mention but! Hiiii! I’m Phoenix! As mentioned I’m gonna be taking over the wlw rarepair bracket now! I’m hoping to continue it from bracket D2 this weekend, but if not for sure sometime next week. I am abnormal about danganronpa wlw and hope to do every ship justice, but if you wanna send me any of your ship propaganda or explanations, feel free! We got the next bracket down here for your propaganda prep!

Thanks to Peach for letting me take the reigns! I’ll be making another post of my own regarding the tournament once everything is more organized on my end!

Since I've passed on the responsibilities of the F/F Rarepair Bracket to @danganwlw (keep an eye out!), I am now capable of focusing again on smaller, easier projects that won't be as much effort to get out! Which means two things:

Ultimate Bitch Bracket, Hell Yes

Would people be interested in a Danganronpa WLWeek again this year, or would you all rather I save those prompts for a Femslash February-style list for next year?

[danganwlw]

i made a new brush so yeah here

[danganwlw]

SEND ME A CHARACTER AND I’LL DO THIS;

Sexuality Headcanon: Gender Headcanon: A ship I have with said character: A BROTP I have with said character: A NOTP I have with said character: A random headcanon: General Opinion over said character:

[danganwlw]

Day 4 for @dr-rarepair-week-blog! Some Pekomiki… Basically as soon as I started thinking about these two consistently again I fell back in love with the ship. I just think two women with autonomy issues should help each other out and also kiss.

[danganwlw]

i think the trials go a little like this

[danganwlw]

headcanon about mukuros smile

[danganwlw]

Some Fukagiri for day 7 of @dr-rarepair-week-blog! Toko gets caught sneaking off to Towa City,,,,

[danganwlw]

Mahisato for 6 for @dr-rarepair-week-blog! Only kinda related to the prompt. Sato getting sent a photo and a letter from Mahiru while she travels…

[danganwlw]

Character Bingo// Chihiro ,Toko and Kazuichi (if only one, then Chihiro)

Chihiro!

She is just so silly and I love her. Most important character in all of Danganronpa fr!!!!

Toko!

The Just Like Me Fr is exaggerated and also just my vision of Toko but she is my #1 favorite character of all time. She’s got everything. As soon as I start writing more Danganronpa things it’s all over.

Kazuichi!

I love that guy. He’s the most high school boyidiot ever. This just in, this teen just learned how to be horny and can’t be normal about it at all!

[danganwlw]

Uh so I made a character bingo if anyone wants to try it (:

[danganwlw]

“J-Just because So Lingers the Ocean is my m-masterpiece doesn’t mean it’s for you. You don’t seem like s-someone who appreciates a good romance at all! I’ve written s-so many books you’d enjoy w-way more.”

Day 5 for @dr-rarepair-week-blog! Was gonna write a fix for today actually but lost steam with it pretty fast. Might still go for it eventually though! Anyways, Fukasaba good and people should ship Toko with more women.

[danganwlw]

Day 4 for @dr-rarepair-week-blog! Some Pekomiki… Basically as soon as I started thinking about these two consistently again I fell back in love with the ship. I just think two women with autonomy issues should help each other out and also kiss.
