i'm so spoilt as a mahiru fan because she gives us entire magazine spreads with additional information but then i turn to kotoko and she's like "huh? backstories are for weak people. i was born with helix earrings and an undercut" please just tell me your childhood trauma

uwaa i wanted to do this forever ago but ( *gestures to hoard of mental problems* ) it simply wasn't in my favor. i can absolutely see your choices though—you're very mature, well-put together, and are lovely to have conversations with. there's likely a stronger theme binding these four but i wouldn't want to be too presumptuous,,

i've always been envious of people who heavily relate to character to the point of kinning them, since i've never experienced anything similar for myself. though there's lots of characters i like, there's very little i connect with and even less that i've gone "oh, this character is just like me!" so this question stumped me a little bit. this will probably change in the future but for now:

from the few milgram quizzes i've done i've always gotten kotoko so it must be accurate! funnily enough i've stated a few times that i don't really like amane, but i think she's closest to me in terms of personality. major self-own when you think about it ( + haruka and mu feel pretty self-explanatory ).

and i'm cheating a little bit by also including some non-milgram characters!

in order: xinyan from genshin impact, ishimaru from danganronpa, momo from yatamomo, and k-angel from needy streamer overload

i'd love to gush about why i relate to these four but oh goodness that'd take forever haha. i do love them all dearly though, even though they'd probably all hate eachother ( which feels apt lmao )

hm hm my friend group are all dastardly and haven't watched milgram which means i can't tag them sob sob. i thiiiink my other milgram mutuals have been tagged already so i'll tag @dcstoevskys and @boxx-sama! if we're mutuals and would like to add on though then i'd love to hear your answers ^_^

So, @tsuwmya tagged me in this tag game! I was gonna reply in the reblog of the original post here but realized I was probably tagging too many people. So, I'm responding in a new post. Here's the original for context though-

No matter what you do you may give off an aloof or unapproachable demeanor. People may find you to be impersonal and cold or they may find you inviting in such a way it denotes distance or lacks that warmth some of your peers seem to effortlessly give off. This isn't due to some social failing on anyone's part but a genuine disconnect between your mental space and the transient world. You love and care deeply but recognize there's a proper time and place for everything. Making you more unwilling to present or opposed to presenting what you may deem selfish or unnecessary emotions publicly. You are probably likely to react to rejection and approval in similar ways depending on how many assumptions one makes about you to reach the outcome. Despite this you can sometimes make assumptions of your own based on the actions of those around you or lack thereof. Possibly assuming like or dislike based off the response received. Ultimately, you may be more likely to be kind to those that have been kind to you and everyone else can shove it. Whether they view you (or what you do) as good or bad because you're not doing this for them but yourself.

At least that's what these characters all give off together to me.

Anyone who follows me can play if they want to or not but I'll tag some people all the same- @tired-and-unslimed @candckirby @doctorbunny @good-beans @apatchworkstar @dearmahiru @laniemae @givemeanaccountalready and @errorscriber

Hope all of you a re having a good day. I can untag you if you want and you don't have to do anyhting you don't want to!

Now, get ready for me to introduce you to the-

"i can't believe kotoko was willing to hurt amane!" buddy, you will not believe who she foils

[dearmahiru-archive]

i've been having brain worms about mahiru's relationship so i've been rewatching i love you to piece together day sixteen. this feels like a reach but i think a fight might've broken out between them.

first, mahiru boyfriend's house, birdcage, and carousel are all the same location─we know this because each one has the same couch, throw pillows, and table formation.

on day sixteen, mahiru excitedly prepares her boyfriend's favorite meals as a surprise for him. later, when milgram extracts mahiru's mind, we see a table with shattered silverware. then, mahiru fantasizes about her boyfriend coming back to life so they can share food together (notably, only mahiru is fed because when mahiru tries feeding her boyfriend it goes awry.)

though i don't believe her boyfriend was ever physical and broke the dishes, it's possible that he suffered from an eating disorder and responded badly to mahiru's attempts to convince him to eat. this is the reason mahiru's murder is portrayed as feeding him rats that she percieved as a gift to save him from starvation.

we also know that they've fought multiple times from mahiru's t1 song. specifically. theres this very moment in the second teaser where mahiru's screams at her boyfriend, telling him (paraphrased) "don't say you love me if you don't mean it."

which is insane because mahiru is a very forgiving person! she can turn a cheek to someone trying to kill her, laugh off those who trick her, call her stupid to her face, and says she's happy to fight with her boyfriend—lovingly referring to it as their break-up ritual—but saying you love her without any weight behind it? that's what sends mahiru right over the edge.

i think it's possible that mahiru's boyfriend reacted poorly to mahiru's "gift," and tried to console her by saying he loved her which made mahiru's upset, which then escalated into their final fight.

yea yea it's really awful that kotoko would've harmed amane, and is way too violent in pursuing her sense of justice. you are completely right and there is no further argument to be had about the subject.

...anyway now that those people are gone, do you ever think about how if their verdicts were reversed then amane would have "acted as an extension of milgram's authority" and kotoko would "return our judgement back to us." because buddy i'm eating gravel over it rn.

[dearmahiru-archive]

i have this drafted idea for a roleplay i really wanna run and aaaaa i wanna host it so badly

basically it'd be mutual killing game (à la danganronpa) with milgram aesthetics. essentially a group of convicted criminals would agree to participate in a mysterious killing game show in exchange of returning back to society and an additional wish of their choice. the hosts would ofcourse be an oc es and jackalope in the vein of the light novels.

[dearmahiru-archive]

since we have the entire t2 catalogue i made a tier list and have discovered i shockingly dislike most of the cover songs and like way more shidou songs. also i'm sorry sticky bug enjoyers i'm not in your ranks

[dearmahiru-archive]

hops up and down. almost finished with the new blog ♡♡ it'll be linked tomorrow when i can swap urls lmao

( also please feel free to dm me if there's any new mahiru content i've missed since i was gone! im planning on rewriting the shinju theory so any info will be a big help! ^^ )

[dearmahiru-archive]

guys i can't express my thoughts on ktk properly in written form so i'm going to make a web weave so not ONE of you look at me

[dearmahiru-archive]

ALSO KYAAAAA I HAVEN'T TALKED ABOUT DECO*27 IN FOREVER BUT ROOKIE OH MY GOD . . .??

tbh i haven't been super impressed with nina's recent catalogue — though i'm not one to seriously dunk on him for "all his songs sounding the same" when i genuinely don't care. i just feel songs like volt tackle and blue planet commit the fatal sins of being really boring, and hell i've only recently come around to rabbit hole ( if only because the "love bluh bluh bluh" part is extremely addicting )

BUT ROOKIE AKAIWUEHWJWB the opening with the bass immediately hooked me in. it's been a while since we've had these kinda edgy, high-energy songs from nina and i'm aaaaaall for it. and aaa the song slowly becoming softer to represent her change in behavior is sooo smart !!

ALSO ALSO ALSO the middle bit where miku suddenly switches to english is TOTALLY A HIBANA REFERENCE and it worked like a charm on me. i've been kinda rolling my eyes at the self-referential nature of the recent songs but i loved this one. it shows off nina's growth extremely given the length and complexities of the lyrics, and i'm so happy for him man.

now i'm just hyped for if we'll get a rachie / will stetson cover . . .

[dearmahiru-archive]

y'know i was genuinely considering making an account on milgramtwt but oh my god... oh my god that place sucks... i'm staying here guys ♡

[dearmahiru-archive]

guys when i finally remake that shinju theory post with better writing and graphics i'm going to be so strong! trust ♡

(also i made a replycon for myself 'cause it's embarrassing that i used anime gifs... thank you everyone for not bullying me for that)

⑅ᐢ..ᐢ₎ hello hello hello my name is cinnamon (she/they) and welcome to my dedicated milgram blog! i tend to ramble most about mahiru (i'm very very subtle about my adoration for her) but i genuinely love each character! i don't consider myself much of a theorist or analysist or what-have-you but i like having opinions.

i must ask that you please don't spam like/reblog my posts! i'm very flattered to recieve so much attention but it does make me rather uncomfortable.

i would just like to say fuck you mukuhara for making me look like a FOOL

okay, obligitaory "dearmahiru is delirious about mahiru" but—do you think kazui will mention mahiru in cat?

while the female prisoners reference their original song ( hooked up till the morning to this sweet “umbilical cable” / and don’t look for what lies “after and from” the pain / my lethal weapon: “this is how to be in love with you”), the male prisoners reference a different character ( I promise to make my dreaMU come true / to extract that fang, now)

it's hinted by jackalope that kazui purposely didn't protect mahiru from the attacks despite promising her that he would, and i feel like spotlighting that would be really good in cat. i'm excited!

[dearmahiru-archive]

ahhh thank you so much for the corrections!! i relied on a site that let you write out the kanji and then told you what it meant in english but the entire time i was like "there's absolutely no way these are all right..." the king radical strikes from the shadows.

so a while back, i wrote a post about shidou and mahiru's names and how, if you remove the wood kanji, each word reflects their character. the person who discovered this deleted their socials (sob sob) so i figured i'd post it here for archiving! i relied on a translator since i can't read kanji so i apologize if i'm wrong.

01. Haruka 櫻 -> 嬰 (Newborn Child, Necklace)

02. Yuno 樫 -> 堅 Strong, Resolute

03. Fuuta 梶 -> 尾 Tail, End *potentially a reference to his cowardly nature. in backdraft there's a pun where fuuta sings "hey mouse, say cheese!"

04. Mu 楠 -> 南 South *mu is often represented by the number four (her number code, four friends, four desks, four lockers, etc)

05. Shidou 桐 -> 同 Same *appears in the lyrics: 同じ 重さにはなれない -> “Throw down”, someone’s value cannot be the same as another

06. Mahiru 椎-> 隹 Bird

05. Kazui 椋 -> 京 Capital (City) *gonna be honest i have no clue what this means in relation to kazui

08. Amane 桃 -> 兆 Omen

09. Mikoto 榧 -> 匡 To Correct, To Rescue

010. Kotoko 杠 -> 工 Labour, Work

[dearmahiru-archive]

also covering my ass real quick i must clarify this is a silly joke about how kotoko's the only prisoner where we can't inform anything about why she's the way she is!! though i do suspect she's a victim of something, i'm not literally saying she can only be that way because of trauma >< even something as simple as "i thought batman was cool" is enough to go off for me

i'm so spoilt as a mahiru fan because she gives us entire magazine spreads with additional information but then i turn to kotoko and she's like "huh? backstories are for weak people. i was born with helix earrings and an undercut" please just tell me your childhood trauma
