Shin: You're too good for this world.

Kanna: :D

Shin: But that's okay.

Shin: I'll be an asshole for both of us.

[gently-holds-the-contestants]

Shin: .. .—-. – / … — .-. .-. -.– [translation: “I’M SORRY”] Sara: What’s that? Shin: Remorse code. Sara: I’m even angrier now.

Incorrect YTTD Quotes But It’s Conversations I’ve Had With My Brother

Hinako talking to Gin: Do you remember when Keiji banned me from watching Tom and Jerry because I kept beating you with a broom?

Gin: No woof? You beat me with a broom meow?!

Hinako: Nevermind.

Gin: Is that why I was scared of brooms when I was little woof?

Hinako:

Gin:

Hinako: Yeah.

Reko just staring at Alice: 

Alice: What’s wrong?

Reko: …I have the urge to punch you in the face right now, and I don’t know why. 

Alice: Ah, the sibling instinct. 

—————————————————————————–

Sara: Do you have any redeeming qualities? 

Shin: No. But in good news, if I was a fictional character I’d be a fan favorite with the gays. 

—————————————————————————–

Alice: I don’t know why everyone’s worried about my mental health! I’m fine, I don’t know what’s gotten into everyone all the sudden.

Reko: Alice.

Reko: Your hair is blue. 

Alice: And much cooler than anyone’s hair who is mentally stable.

Hinako: I got a new betta fish today. I named them after you.

Shin: What? Why?

Hinako: Because it’s ugly. 

—————————————————————————–

Sara: Do you ever think how weird it is that the universe infinite? It has to start and stop somewhere, right? How did we even get here? Do we even have a purpose?

Joe: I don’t know man, but these pizza rolls are banger!

—————————————————————————–

Sara: Do you like my shoes?

Shin: No.

Sara: You’re homophobic.

I love the totally canon ending of YTTD where everyone escapes alive.

Gotta love the part where Joe, Sara, Anzu, and Ranmaru all start going to the same school. Keiji finds a new fight for life after being put in a death game and starts to search for what’s important to him. Kanna and Hinako get ice cream and have sleepovers every weekend. Shin confides his name to the group and with their help burns his scarf. Reko and Alice rekindle after almost dying and Reko promises to start a new band with him as soon as he gets out of prison. Nao makes a painting in dedication to Mishima and he hangs it in his classroom to honor his star student. Kai goes to Q-Taros baseball games and doesn’t understand the rules but has fun watching Q-Taro enjoy himself. Mai opens a bakery and Shunsuke gets a new less deadly job. And when Naomichi enters a boxing tournament and wins.

Haha so glad that’s all canon. 🥰

also also also, I’m going to elaborate on the idea that he has deeply rooted trust or abandonment issues. His attachment to Kanna is actually really interesting and he obviously wants to protect her despite at some times acting as if he only cares for himself. I feel like this would make the most sense if he has had a lot of issues in the past with loss or abandonment or trust, and found a way to bond with kanna and because she’d lost her sister, kind of protect her in some way? idk it’s hard to explain

i have made a post about sara chidouin so i am now morally obligated to make a post about shin tsukumi

spoilers n talkin bout hallucinations and anxiety and death n shit okay. I genuinely think that if not for the death game, he’d actually be a chill guy. like. the impression I always got for him is that he’s just a mostly normal anxious guy on a day-to-day basis. I mean, I’m sure he’s a gremlin sometimes, but I doubt he’s a manipulative shit in his normal life. i genuinely believe that he’s an otherwise chill person who cracked under the desperate need for survival. I’m also going to guess that he has some deeply rooted trust issues or paranoia, and I mean, he probably doesn’t talk to a lot of people. His AI was just kinda shy and nervous and honestly it was cute. i don’t think shin was like, an innocent baby before the death game, I get the feeling that doing selfish things as a need for survival is something he would probably do in other situations as well, but I feel like it would be less manipulating someone to sway things in his favor and more running away from problems he can’t solve and (most likely) feeling guilty about it. “how long are you going to run?”…his shadow says something like that. I think when you see him interacting with his other version of himself, he’s frustrated and doesn’t really want anyone to die. at the beginning of the game, his shadow tells him that it’ll get him nowhere. I think this is an indicator that it isn’t in his nature to do this, and more that under extreme circumstances, he convinces himself that this is the only thing he can do. as for sara…I wish he would stop demonizing her. Like, I understand she’s easy to antagonize because she’s leading everyone, but as I went off about in my last post, she’s just a traumatized teenager. i think you can tell that sou has the potential to care about people a lot. in the chapter where he dies, he sets up a joe ai for his enemy to encourage her to go on when she feels so hopeless and helps her to at least temporarily confront her trauma. even in the route where kanna dies, you can see he wanted kanna to live and he felt like it was his responsibility to keep her safe. instead of blaming himself, he lashed out at everyone else which is a totally valid response. (Im still mad at him for using sara’s trauma against her tho grrrr. I know he wasn’t in the right headspace and will probably end up regretting it BUT YA COULD HAVE DONE ANYTHING ELSE TO SARA. WHY DID IT HAVE TO BE CALLING HER A MURDERER THROUGH THE FACE OF HER FRIEND WHO SHE HAS HALLUCINATIONS OF) nyways. shin is a fuckin gremlin piece of shit but he’s well written and I actually like him.

can we agree that his hair <3

damn it reblogged with the wrong account again and im too lazy to change it

friendly reminder that sara chidouin is just a human

i feel like something a lot of protags do is dehumanize themselves and put themselves on a pedestal, wanting to be seen more as a leader or a hero than an actual person, because they think it’s their responsibility to do so. (and I’m talking from experience with pressures of my everyday life, i can’t even imagine the extreme that’d be taken to in a literal death game.)

see, when someone appears confident enough and puts themselves at that sort of pedestal where they’re less human, it’s easy for others to do so as well, especially if they’re vulnerable and confused. some people just…naturally see themselves as tools to advance the lives of everyone around them by fixing things and being responsible for everything. their mindset is “I am (what I think is) the ideal person in any situation I’m in,” regardless of whether or not it’s portraying how they really feel. and obviously, i do mean to say this about sara.

but in reality, she’s just an extremely traumatized emotionally vulnerable teenage girl. she’s not a hero, she’s not the ideal, and she doesn’t have to be. she’s not even out of high school…

anyways…sara puts herself on that pedestal, and those around her feed into it because that’s how they perceive her. even shin puts her on pedestal to an extent by demonizing her and making her out as an antagonist rather than a person. 

sara’s so scared of being vulnerable or of being human. it’s just…she’s just a human, that’s all
