#...where junko can know that people loved /her/ and still want /her/

[aparticularbandit]

me, taking notes. mentally, of course.

because this conversation is useful for oafc and ryoko/junko.

the idea of being your own person and knowing there's another self you used to be and if they wake up you could disappear entirely but you don't want to disappear.

but not knowing how to stop it.

not knowing how to stay yourself while you slowly merge with the you that you used to be.

the sheer terror of that.

(a terror that's heightened with ryoko because -gestures- do you see who she was?)

[makotonaegiunderstander]

something I’ve been thinking abt is how many people think Makoto is immune to despair. I don’t think he is. I think becoming the ultimate Hope was BECAUSE he felt despair. He wouldn’t have fully reached that point without Junko. Makoto becoming such a beacon was his last attempt to avoid completely falling and it wasn’t because he didn’t feel despair, it was because he was too damn stubborn to allow everything to go to waste and he refused to sacrifice his beliefs for someone else’s. His inner monologue tells me he DID experience the same new low the other suvivors did in the final trial, but at the point where he had the choice to give up and die, he looked at the others and he looked at Junko and he couldn’t allow it to happen, not out of self preservation, but because the idea that Junko would have control over their lives made him FURIOUS. and that utter refusal to die kicked in, wether luck or otherwise, and he made the concious effort for one last push while something in him was breaking. He had to be broken in order for the Ultimate Hope to come through so aggressively, bc it could only exist in the face of the Ultimate Despair. He snapped the same way she did, but in the other direction. In what could have been his final moments he chose to embody everything Junko wasn’t, and every single optimistic and luck fueled ideal in him suddenly charged forward and pushed him. It was a combination of the final straw and a choice. Makoto isn’t immune to feeling despair, he’s just too stubborn to fall into it of his own volition. I think that’s why I like that scene in DR3 so much. People were SO SHOCKED Makoto actually fell for the tape, that he actually became despair for a moment. I saw people getting mad or disappointed, saying it was pathetic and Makoto seemed to fall from some sort of pedestal for them. Honestly part of me wonders if that sort of mentality, which clearly people had in universe, affected Makoto a bit. Like he started to see himself as less of a person, subconsciously. Prompting him to take more risks, less self preservation, act way more bold. It seems he has to be reminded a lot not to put himself in danger by his friends, to not do something too reckless. All over the place I would see in regards to that scene either this frivolous ‘oh this was just angst drama with no meaning behind it’ or ‘he can do better than that. he’s so weak’ or ‘come on, there’s no way he’d fall into despair, he’s the Ultimate Hope!’ This kind of mentality, which was kind of ironic considering Ryota was there the entire time saying the same thing and treating Makoto the same way. Like Makoto was superhuman. Like Makoto didn’t feel despair the same way ‘normal people’ did. In a way that was also how Munakata saw Makoto. Makoto stopped being a PERSON to the world when he became Ultimate Hope, he became a concept, a belief system, much the same way Junko ascended beyond herself. But the difference is that treating Makoto that way is the opposite of the reason Makoto became such a representative for hope. He wasn’t doing something no one else could. He was doing something everyone had the chance to, he just… was a little more optimistic, a little more stubborn, a little more ‘gung-ho’ about things. He just took the lead where no one else did, where no one else knew they even COULD in the face of Junko’s unstoppable force. She had overcome the biggest threats and obstacles in the world, what could one person do? And the answer Makoto found was, anything. Everything. It doesn’t all rest on Makoto, he’s just the one that was inspired to try to do what seemed like the impossible. But as evidenced by the change in his friends after that trial, it’s clearly not something only Makoto is capable of. The others pulled out of despair thanks to Makoto, but it was their choice to do so.

“But… this world is so huge, and we’re so small. What can we do…? No, we can probably do anything. Yeah! We can do anything!”

[princescar]

need Junko Hanahaki disease but the unrequited love is despair itself

[meracyn]

hello!

May I request some “Mukuro Ikusaba as your GF” headcanons?

hiii and yesss ty for being my 4th requester 🙏 off topic i kinda wanna redesign my posts like i have to b professional but also wanna have fun ughhhjjj idk what to do lmao

ok i think we all know for a fact that mukuro would be very overprotective

especially to her s/o

i mean you’re obviously gonna be so important to her, you’re the only person who cares and truly loves her how would she not want to protect you always?

some might even joke to you that she’s like your bodyguard, with how cautious and close she is around you

could upset you too, it depends, however; she’s your girlfriend, not some dog having to guard its owner every second of the day

basically you’ll need to gently approach the topic and explain to her

tries her best to understand and stop but it’s a habit of hers, just be patient and overtime it won’t be too much

so touch starved, that in the start of your relationship she would become stiff as a log whenever you gave her a hug, or anything that involved physical touch made her freeze up

after a while she’ll slowly let herself relax, and that not every small thing is alarming

going out together on places calms her down, maybe at the beach where you both can build sandcastles, collect seashells and go swim, it does distract her, especially when you both aren’t near many people

insecure though :( but it mostly stems from junko. they’re twins, but polar opposites; mukuro is aware that junko is loved by everyone and is very beautiful, everyone is in awe by her unique personality and she hates thinking that junko could try to steal you from her

if there is even a rumor about you and junko being smitten romantically, it would be enough to make her cry

i mean you’d be considered the first person she’s loved (yes we’re ignoring naeggo), has confided in her deepest secrets and trust too, seeing something like that breaks her heart

please please PLEASE comfort her, whys there so many characters with sad backstories + trauma, guys 😭

tell her you love her, that you have no interest in junko and would never break her trust like that, and she’ll believe you if you give her a kiss

the “prove it” type

if someone even dares to joke about you being in danger, mukuro turns into the flash looking for you

this girl does NOT play chat

although you both are mostly together through the day so it would have to be in a time where you and her have a separate class

introverted, doesn’t really know how to normally interact with others, lacks a lot of courage to approach first

which leads to many indoor dates, if you want to go out mukuro doesn’t mind at all, she loves seeing you happy

is a big spoon when you both began cuddling, due to her tough persona act she had to hold up, but the longer you’re dating there will be times she wants to be held and be reassured that you still love her and she’s a good girlfriend

worst fear is losing you, so she finds herself having nightmares about it happening, that’s when she either asks if you could go over to her dorm or she’s at your door, knocking and desperately wanting to be told it was only a dream and won’t happen

a very protective girlfriend who loves you endlessly

[rekino2114]

Since these haven't been done yet how about Relationship headcanons with Mukuro Ikusaba and Pekoyama~ Peko is so underrepresented it's criminal

Mukuro ikusaba and peko pekoyama relationship headcanons

A/n:it's true she is underrepresented let's fix that! Also sorry if they're too similar

Mukuro ikusaba

Mukuro gets attached to people incredibly easily and fast. The moment you showed her kindness and affection, you were already a great person in her eyes, and when you started dating, you basically became the most important person in her life.

She's protective as hell, following you wherever you go trying her best not to be creepy just to make sure you're all right and no one's bothering you, and whenever you're together, she always stands at your side. The fact that a tall girl with military training is glaring at them probably stops anyone troublesome from approaching you.

Mukuro has no experience with dating and romance in general, so she often feels like a bad girlfriend or that she's not doing enough to show her love for you or not doing it the right way, she tries to ask junko for advice but that confuses her even more. Please reassure her that she's doing great.

Following from that, she doesn't really know what couples do, so she lets you plan dates and always agrees to whatever you have in mind, whenever you ask her to come up with a date she panics and struggles to come up with something. One time she brought you to a shooting range to show off her skills, it was fun if unusual.

This girl is so touch starved. She blushes at every affectionate gesture you show her but she actually really enjoys them, it's very rare that she rejects hugs or kisses even in public, but she might blush a little more. Junko teases her to no end if you two kiss in front of her.

Peko pekoyama

Peko loves you a lot, even if she's not the best at showing it, know that she will always be loyal and her heart only belongs to you.

She is also very protective of you but in a more direct manner, while mukuro might just glare at someone who is annoying you waiting that they go away, peko will confront them and threaten to pull out her sword if they continue.

She not only treats you as a partner but also as a second master of sorts. She fulfills any request you might have even if you don't explicitly ask for it, for example, if she sees you struggling to open something she'll just wordlessly take it from you and open it for you, she doesn't expect rewards for that but she definitely won't complain if you give her kisses.

Like mukuro, she doesn't really care what kind of dates you go to. as long as you're happy, then she is too. But if she has to choose, she either likes calm dates where you two drink tea in silence or one where she can show you her swordsmanship skills like you watching her train against a dummy or similar, she always puts on her best performance for you because she wants to let you know how protected you are with her and also maybe wanting some praise.

She still as troubles as seeing herself as a tool but you gave her hope that she can maybe be more than that as your lover, she wants you to feel the love she feels whenever you are around her.

Danganronpa V3 Animatic

Might finish it into a full animation (not anytime soon)

IT'S DONE, I'M SO EXCITED THAT I FINISHED IT AS FAST AS I CAN I felt like I was having a Danganronpa V3 open book exam as I kept rewatching certain scenes to figure out what to draw ejfnend

I once said that my dream is to make a long animation one day- I feel I'm one step closer to that dream! 🥺💖

I'm really happy with how this turned out, I'm posting to mark my improvement from Kaemugi animatic (which had too many close ups)

I've been studying animations I like and some anime scenes frame by frame to improve-

I'm not good at storyboarding, I actually tried and gave up- So I just jumped directly into making the animatic

I feel I planned really hard scenes to do for final as there are a lot of dynamic and perspective poses ekfjejd ESP THE FIGHT SCENE that part is my favourite wkfjd I RILLY LOVE ACTION IN ANIMES I didn't think I could pull it off, it looks really cool in the end! I feel I'm not able to do those hard poses now, but maybe in the future? >:3

Just gotta keep working hard and be patient and one day I'd reach my goal!

-

Ending: After getting crushed by a rock, Tsumugi reflects in her final moments about everything that happened

The mirror flashes back to her pregame self where she is forgotten by everyone for being too plain, all she has is Danganronpa to keep her going

It changes to Junko to show how Tsumugi was so lost in fiction that she copied Junko completely and forgot about herself

The mirror then changes to Tsumugi herself in her current state to show that Tsumugi finally accepts reality

The reality is she is herself and the fact that the killings were all real so she doesnt smile and dies together with her regret

^I know this is not a popular fandom view but if I'm going to pour my heart into something that could possibly take years to do, I'm going to do something that I truly want for myself and not just what is most popular and most welcomed I hope there will still be people who enjoy this though, thank you for all the support!🥰💖

-

Thoughts:

-I want Tsumugi to lipsync the lyrics "I designed this rhyme" as it feels fitting of her role, the mastermind

-Himiko pulling down her hat before revealing she is crying is to symbolise how much she had repressed her feelings till now

This was inspired by a Warrior Cats animation btw! It's called "Swiftpaw AMV - In The End" by NekoVocalNote

I came up with all the scenes in this animatic myself (which I'm proud of akdjdj) but I was inspired by that Swiftpaw animation's action and how one can finish a full animation- I used the same song as it! My final is a bit similar to the ending of the Swiftpaw animation too!

DAY 3: DANGANTOBER

Day 3: Favorite THH Character Makoto Naegi is a cutie patootie. End post.

No, but in all seriousness, I love Makoto. I know I spent the majority of last post ranting about how much I love Hajime, but that doesn't mean I love Makoto any less.

I'll be real, I love the THH cast, so it was very difficult to pick a favorite from that group. I was between Celestia, Junko, Byakuya, and Makoto, but Makoto's who I went with. Like with Hajime, I was worried that Makoto would just be an self-insert character, and in-game, he kind of is? But people also misremember him in game. People characterize him all the time as non-confrontational, and just a hopeful, positive person, but he's a lot more nuanced than that.

Let's not forget that Makoto tried to throw hands with Monokuma more than once, that's pretty confrontational to me. While he puts up a front of a positive, hopeful person, he also has his moments of being affected by everything that's happened to him. Seriously, replay the game, he's got a lot more bite to him.

He's the kind of person I'd want to be friends with, he's a very sweet person, who's not afraid to throw down for the people he cares about.

I also really like his sibling relationship with Komaru. If you skipped UDG, I don't blame you, but aside from the obviously weird things happening in that game, there's also a lot of world building and substance. Maybe watch a playthrough, cringe with whoever's playing it, and get that good lore.

You can see it in the anime too, he just lights up when he sees Komaru's transmission go through, because it's confirmation that he still has her around. Up until that point, he wasn't sure if his family was still around, and now he knows he still has his sister. It's very sweet, and the way he has so much faith in her, and knows she's capable to do whatever it is she needs to do.

But it's The End of Hope's Peak anime that really does it in for me, and cements him as one of my favorite characters. I get it, I'm basic. But one of the bigger points I see get brought up about Makoto, is that they don't really explore the trauma that would go along with being in a game like that. Which is false, but it's definitely something the game doesn't really focus on for the sake of plot.

But in the anime, you can really see how much that affects him. Makoto Naegi suffers from survivor's guilt, and it's so incredibly potent. That moment made me so sad, I had to close my computer and actually GO TO SLEEP? That can't be right. Granted, I watched that episode at like, 2AM, but rewatching it in the morning hit just as hard.

Like with Nagito, Bryce Papenbrook really gives his all for Makoto, including in the anime. You hear it all the time, whether he's just giving someone a pep talk, or reacting to the newest death in the game. He's smarter than people give him credit for, like in the fight with Munakata, he figures out his forbidden action and traps him in a situation where he needs to sit down and talk with him, all on his own. I'd say he's more emotionally intelligent, but he's definitely got brains in his little noggin.

Please, I want his Nendoroid so badly. I own a plushie of him in Future Arc, I bought it at a local fair, and he's my prized possession.

On the topic of emotional intelligence, he's very forgiving and compassionate too. One thing you should know about me, is that I love the SDR2 cast, including when they're the Remnants of Despair. They're cool, their designs are cool, and they're CRIMINALLY underused. Makoto is the one who was able to see past the people they had become, and see the hurt people underneath. Most of the world had written them off as despair-laden monsters, but Makoto actually went against the wants of the Future Foundation in order to rehabilitate them.

Even if it causes him issues, Makoto is very caring and will do what's right. His sense of morality is one that is evidently difficult to skew.

And finally, he's a cutie patootie. The rest of this post will be GIFs of him looking adorable.

Lord, let me pinch his cheeks.

-Mod Tsumugi

[theamityelf]

crazy idea but how would everyone react if makoto was a werewolf and I guess you can decide how he would act towards people personally I like the idea of him being like a big dog or mother hen with some of his friends and also him running away from people cause he doesn’t want to hurt anyone or see anyone look at him with hate so makoto is hiding somewhere and Kyoko is trying to find him and comfort him and another thing is junko finds out and purposely stays near makoto when he transforms in a attempt to die by his hands only to end up with essentially a giant puppy also maybe Mukuro and byakuya reaction could be funny and especially how Hiro would act around makoto

Ooh, my first question to answer would be how he became a werewolf. Or, more to the point, when he became a werewolf.

I kind of like it as a condition he's had since he was little. Like, maybe he and Komaru were playing at the park one day, and Komaru suddenly screamed because a huge "dog" was nearby, and Makoto got the "dog" away from her but got bitten in the process.

This scenario requires the werewolf thing to happen during the daytime, unless I justify them being at the park at night. Which I could do, but I kind of want some daytime werewolf shenanigans for later, so I'm going to say that it doesn't just happen on the full moon. But I'm also not making it a change-at-will thing, because that feels maybe less cool, so here's the rule:

Turning into a wolf is still an involuntary thing. It still happens the night of a full moon. But first of all, the time when a werewolf changes back into human form varies from person to person; it can be anywhere within twelve hours of the following sunrise, and there are some rare cases where the phase-back happens early or late. It's like a period; it's not clockwork. Second of all, other celestial events can trigger a wolf to phase, besides the full moon. That one is kind of like a spicy food tolerance; some wolves (who have a lower tolerance for celestial events) would phase if they saw an aurora borealis, some (with higher tolerance) can stay in human form during a solar eclipse. The full moon is the only thing that will always get every wolf.

Makoto's phasing is sporadic. It's really hard to plan around. One month, he spent the whole day after the full moon in wolf form; the next month, he only stayed a wolf for like an hour or two and then got to go to bed. His tolerance for celestial events is also all over the place. It feels almost random.

As a wolf, he is unlikely to kill anyone unless they seriously attack him. If someone whose scent isn't familiar to his wolf form approaches him too recklessly, he might run or bite– the main thing he's scared of is biting somebody. (Well, he'd definitely be more upset if he killed them, but it's less likely to happen. Biting them is a very real risk. He might bite a loved one while trying to play.)

His general behavior, in wolf form, is very avoidant. He hides away from people. If someone approaches him slowly and carefully, he might growl in warning when they get too close. Unless he knows their scent.

Being someone's friend in human form doesn't mean his wolf form will necessarily recognize their scent. They have to spend time around him in wolf form, slowly gaining his trust, for that. (Exception: If he has something of theirs when he phases, that can familiarize him with their scent. Like, if he borrowed a jacket from someone and the jacket was in his room with him when he phased.) Before attending Hope's Peak, his parents and Komaru were the only people who had ever spent time with his wolf form. For them, he's basically a big fluffy dog.

(Maybe when Komaru's teacher snuck into her room that one time, Makoto was in the house in wolf form, smelled a stranger, and scared him away from her. The next morning, Komaru casually mentioned this to him, and he frantically asked whether he'd bitten the man.)

At Hope's Peak, his friends find out about his condition at different times. He misses school on certain days, sometimes without warning. (He usually just stays in his room in wolf form; he's pushed all the furniture against the walls, so he has room. His full moon routine is: bathroom break, clothes off, maybe ibuprofen or something, and lie down on the floor until the change happens.)

Kyoko and Junko probably figure it out first, separately from each other. Kyoko mostly plans to just observe without acknowledging that she knows, at first; it's pretty early in the school year, and the character development hasn't kicked in yet. Junko plans to take advantage of the information, but before she can, some luck fiasco causes him to accidentally phase in front of a handful of his other classmates. (Maybe they were studying late on a non-full moon night, but a shooting star happens and he phases.)

His friends convince him that it's okay to go outside to phase, instead of staying cooped up during the school year.

They deliberately get his wolf form accustomed to their scent, so they can have some fun wolf times. And Hifumi takes pictures on his camera, so Makoto can enjoy the memories, too (since he doesn't remember wolf stuff very well when he wakes up).

There's a picture of Wolf Makoto playing fetch with Leon.

A picture of Wolf Makoto chasing Mondo on his bike. (He's worried when he sees this one, but they assure him that everyone was having fun and he didn't hurt Mondo.)

A picture of Wolf Makoto laying on his back while Sayaka rubs his belly.

A picture of Wolf Makoto and Celeste with their backs to the camera, outlined in moonlight. (Celeste will be keeping a copy of that one. Werewolves aren't quite her thing, but the gothic vibes of that shot are perfect.)

Full moons become a class activity. Taka might be unwilling to violate curfew, but when Makoto's wolf time goes long, Taka takes the day shift while everyone else catches up on sleep. He makes sure Wolfkoto gets some water to drink, etc.

(For a while, Byakuya doesn't join in on full moon nights. When he does, it's character development. Until then, he just calls Makoto "puppy" sometimes.)

When Makoto is a wolf during classtime, that means he stays in his room alone while everyone else goes to class.

Perfect time for Junko to get Wolfkoto alone.

Maybe she has Mukuro kick his door down, or maybe she just picks the lock.

Of course, she approaches him recklessly. He doesn't bite her or Mukuro, but he might swing his bed at her or scratch her. (A nice consolation prize for Junko.)

He doesn't remember how deliberately she spooked his wolf form, when he eventually turns human again. She just shows him the very visible scratch marks, like, "You almost bit me, but I managed to get away. 🥺" He's so apologetic and ashamed and scared that he'll hurt his other friends, which is right where she wants him.

Day 6: The Tragedy (Junko x Kyoko)

*Kyoko stared outside the window, mustering the dark red sky and the shadowy clouds in the air, from her Office in the Future Foundation.

To think that this sight should have been nothing, but a macabre fantasy of sorts.

Straight out of a nietzschean novel.

A world full of darkness, where god abandoned its toys and moved on.

Yet.... this was reality. All done by a bored criminally insane teenage girl.

Destroying the world for nothing, but shits and giggles.

Kyoko met many screwed up people over the years and yet, Junko was the one who kept on surprising her.

She never saw anyone, who was so smart, charismatic, pretty...and so utterly insane.

...................

"You know, you should smile more.", Junko told her, as they sat inside the closed in academy, at the table in the cafeteria. Kyoko looked up from her novel and tilted her head, glancing at the model curiously.

"Hm. I never expected you, to worry over someone else's well-being.", Kyoko mused, causing Junko to pout offended.

"Gee, just because I'm better than all of you, doesn't mean I'm heartless.", the fashionista replied and tried to sound offended, even though Kyoko could see through the mask easily.

The void........

*"Of course not.", Kyoko answered with a frown. *

"Say you're sorry!"

"Hm.", Kyoko replied and glanced around.

The others had already gone to bed.

It was just Junko and her....

...........

A year ago:

Junko leaned forward and gave her a grin.

"Awww what's wrong? Are you being flustered on our date?", she teased, causing Kyoko to shake her head.

"It is not a date. Stop lying to me.", the detective answered and crossed her arms.

"Oh? You think I'm lying to you?", Junko asked and looked down saddened. "That hurt...you know I love you."

Love.....

"I'm not in the mood for your games.", Kyoko told her adamantly and crossed her arms, giving her a cold look. She expected Junko to tease her further and and to mess with her even more.

Yet....that didn't happen.

Instead...the mask began to slip. Bit by bit.

Her smile dropped.

Her eyes lost all of their warmth.

And the skin gained paleness and her hair seemed almost dead at certain points.

To say that the sight surprised the detective, would be an understatement.

"Mask's off then.", Junko told her, her voice being completely cold and devoid of life. "Funny. I never would have thought that I'd meet someone like you."

"Like me?", Kyoko asked carefully and tried to not look afraid and remain as composed as usual. Junko nodded slowly, her movements being almost alien.

"Yes. I met so many people in my life...all of them look the same...all of them act so predictable.....all of them....but you."

Junko leaned forward and forced a smile that didn't even look genuine at all. She grabbed her fingers and forced them up.

"I act so charming and convincing...yet you aren't fooled by my mask one bit. Can you tell me why? Why won't you fall for my charms? In all honesty.... I do not get it."

That last part had a bit more emotion than the rest of the words.

Did...she really not understand Kyoko?

Kyoko closed her eyes and shook her head.

"If you do not get, how I am not falling for you...then you are not nearly as smart, as I thought you were.", she explained to her and stared into the corpse's eyes. "I could explain it to you. But you still wouldn't get it. Because being human is something you will never, ever be familiar with."

"....Hm."

Junko stroked her own cheek.

"You know I love you for that, Kyoko.", she mused emptily. "You see through me...the real me..... It's a shame that you don't love me, as much as I do."

"........Hm."

"We could have done so much together....but I suppose you want to keep holding onto your weakness. And to not embrace the darkness in your heart."

"Never.", Kyoko told her adamantly. "I will never see the world, the way you see it."

"Hm."

Junko slowly got up and towered over her.

"We'll see."

And then suddenly, the mask was back on.

"Anyways..", Junko told her, acting as fake as usual. "I'll go bully my dumb sis. Bye!"

With that, she walked off and approached the door. She blew her one last kiss and she then left the cafeteria.

And Kyoko was alone.

Staring after her....

....

Staring through the window with her cheeks, as red as the sky.

The End

[wishamongtheflowers]

Sound

Kido ran her eyes on every record of several victims for the upteenth time.

"Stray dogs!? You're telling me stray dogs are killing people!"

"I'm sorry that I can't exactly identify the bite marks or the teeth. For all I know it could be a person with unique teeth."

The sheriff could only sigh. Just his luck.

"First it's everyone who is incompetent to where I have to rely on a teenager, now this!" He could only shake his his.

"I'll keep working on all this. It's still the gray faze."

He groaned wondering out of his office, "I'm going to go get a drink."

Kido just looked at all the images and reports she chose to bring.

"Excuse me, Ms. Mukai, " Kido turned around to find a man in the doorway, "can I barrow you for just a minute."

The man's badge made it obvious to her. Future Foundation employee.

"It much be important given your badge. Don't see your rank around here much."

"Yeah we usually handle in foundation matters. I hope you don't mind."

A pull. Not any other pull dragged her. Divine Luck's own desire. It wants whatever offer he has.

"If it gets me away from work for a bit I'll obliged."

"Let's discuss this in a private area."

"Of course."

Kido held some papers as she walked out of the building. This isn't luck but chance. It's her luck which wants success. She's honest with herself. She wanted to have abundance.

"He said it's cause of the Ultimate Hope disappearance cause of Junko. From the way he was talking, I've been selected given my work. This better be worth it. It'll be the last piece of the puzzle for me."

"It will be worth it. You've been blessed with luck and a second chance in this world."

She noticed her mind seeped out of reality. She kept calm, unconcerned by what was going on.

"I wouldn't call being undead as a second chance. The divine luck isn't separate from me. It's also me, just like you."

"It is true your luck and I are you but," Kido felt some warmth sliding under her clothes, "you're a horseman. Ever sense you'd been my pet, you always fought. Even now I can tell you've gotten stronger."

"Could you please stop."

"Aw, I guess you don't want to be petted." The warmth left, thankfully.

"I'm wondering why you want to talk. You haven't appeared in some time."

"You know why. Soon he'll remember you as the Siren who taught him how to swim and the angel who set humanity free. You'll finally be rejoined with one of the original blessing."

"That..."

"Your wishes aren't his. He'll open his eyes just like you, for a second time. He'll know you as his. Don't deny it. I can tell you're morality isn't black or white anymore. Your undead but you still wish his love to return."

"Your right. I just want him to be happy. We thought this was the only way. We're both wrong. We'll have to make it right."

"Good pet. Now grow stronger than even I hope for."

It was all in her head. It wasn't a surprise as anyone would gain a mental illness if they gone through what she had. Being undead of course was an obvious cause of her warped mind. With her awareness of her illness she found a comfort in her delusional state. To have someone just there even if they're just an illusion ment a lot.

Kido didn't see a figure around so she can assume her delusional state has lessed to normalcy. A click echoed through her sanctuary's still veins. The last part came by chance over the mouths of stillness.

"Proxy should be here in an hour or so. I'll get started setting some things up." Kido's footsteps ran ahead of her.

A part of her knew something would happen either way. All she can do is wish for the best outcome.

17! 17! 17!

!!! HELL YEAH !!!

17. List five headcanons for your favorite characters!

the arrival of the Monokubs at a non-despair HPA causes a lot of chaos, as everyone thinks Junko built the kubs to make fun of them specifically. in fact, Junko didn't build the kubs at all, but she lets them "live" because their existence causes everyone despair (including her and her favorite son, Monokuma)

this may be a sin to some, but i actually prefer Miu and Keebo to have a brother-sister relationship, where Miu gets to dote on her Stupid little robot brother and give him Equally Stupid upgrades. (yes, i know there's a sexual element to a lot of how they interact in canon, but i like to think that's before she really knows how to Treat People Normally. it evens out Eventually, although she still asks him from time to time if he wants [INSERT SOMETHING ABSOLUTELY DISGUSTING HERE] so he can "get with some bitches or Ouma or whoever the fuck")

speaking of Miu, she still watches Saturday morning cartoons with sugary cereal every morning. if you interrupt her Genius Routine she can't function and blames you for depriving the World of the things she could have made that day

Hajime often discovers memes about 5 years too late and tries to use them to befriend others. it's charming, a bit. he still thinks Rickrolling is funny. this is less charming

Sakura does not participate in social media with one exception: she loves TikToks of animals being silly, cats especially, and bonds with Ryoma and many others over this. it's one of the first inroads she has with people

BONUS: during the main timeline events, it's Hina who observes AI Chiaki and bashfully, carefully, eyes cast down to the floor, asks Makoto if there's any chance they could use the same Technology to bring back their friends, too. "at least...the friends we still have a piece of." but as she watches the NWP she knows it will only cause her more grief: AI Chiaki was not the original Chiaki, and an AI Sakura would be less than a ghost. the true Sakura would not want to dwell on the past...even if the impulse is there. instead, Hina becomes friends with Alter Ego, and understands the importance of a legacy vs cyber-necromancy thru AE's insistence that he is more like Chihiro's son, not Chihiro

Happy Birthday, Veronika Grebenshchikova!

I have a confession to make. Despite my account being themed after Min and having made several posts analyzing her... I may like Veronika just as much, if not more than Min. Ever since her introduction, this Horror Fanatic has brought a smile to my face every time she comes on screen. Literally. Whenever I see her, my face immediately splits into the dumbest grin, I just adore her far too much. There's a lot we still haven't seen about her, but in honor of her birthday, I shall give a few of the reasons I love this freak to the death, and make a sort of birthday playlist as a gift.

+The main motivation for everything she does is boredom, as stated in her conversation with Teruko on Ch 2 Ep 7. Her profile states she took on her talent to seek thrills.

+This obsession with entertainment twists her personality quite a bit. “I don't care about morals. I don’t care whether people get hurt or whether they die. I just need to be entertained”. She’s honestly such a queen.

+Her twisted morals lead to her hanging out with people based on how entertaining they are instead of, like, normal standards for hanging out with people. Arturo is example number one.

"If you become more and more irredeemable, then I'll only love you more. I want to hear all about those horrible things you did with no justification".

She would be a standard Danganronpa fan, is what I get from this line.

+She has claimed she “used to be an outdoors person”, but apparently isn’t anymore. Whether she simply got bored of the outdoors, or there was something more traumatic at play, is still unclear.

+Her profile states she likes skateboarding. I adore this fact. Why there aren’t piles of fanart where she’s skateboarding, I don’t know. Get on it, people! /j. Unless?

(Also, I like to headcanon that she used to skateboard with Whit in their time at Hope’s Peak, but she was actually really bad at it. She constantly fell on her face, but always got back up laughing her ass off)

+The upper part of her dress is black and white, colors associated with the Tragedy and horror in the DRDT universe. This is stated by Veronika herself in Ch 2 Ep 2. However, this color scheme also kickstarts what I like to call:

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Mastermind Bingo! Ft Veronika

>She wears black and white, like Monokuma and MonoTV.

>She gets bored easily, and it drives her actions, like Junko and especially Izuru.

>She constantly psychoanalizes people, again like Junko.

>She has childish tendencies (read: likes the playground), which can be connected back to the Warriors of Hope and Monaca.

>"If I wore contacts, a wig, and different clothes, would you recognize me?"

So, thinking a bit like Tsumugi there.

>"That's why I liked horror for such a long time. The genre seeks to elicit base, negative emotions out of you, like fear, disgust, or sadness... That's exciting"

She is one step removed from outright claiming she likes despair! What is this?!

Also, liked, horror? As in, past tense? Is that implying she doesn't feel satisfied with horror anymore?

>"But after a while, fiction is only fiction..."

You look me in the eyes and tell me that's not something Tsumugi would say. She has aspects of every main-line mastermind! I wouldn't be surprised if she starts taking notes from other fangans, I'm half expecting her to start talking about "the resurrection of Divine Luck" or something.

>And that's not even mentioning things like her quote for Mai; "A girl who didn't foresee the consequences". Right, because Veronika would be the one to get the most ominous quote after MonoTV's "It's all your fault".

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

To be clear, I don’t actually think Veronika’s the mastermind. I just find it funny how incredibly suspicious she is, to the point of not being suspicious in the slightest.

+CW for self-harm for this one. It is heavily theorized her secret is "You only took on your talent to distract from your incessant need to harm yourself for fun". After all, she is one of the only remaining characters who covers her wrists and most of her body, and doing something like that "for fun"... sort of only fits Veronika, as far as we know.

+Her secret quote is: "Once something is broken, it can never be pieced together in quite the same way again. The same goes for people." Whether she's talking about herself or someone else is unclear.

+The recent Q&A confirmed the following:

•Veronika is pansexual! Congrats on getting her, pansexual community! A true win for you.

•The earing she wears (a small green triangle) was given to her by her “dearest friend”. This friend's name is apparently Alyssa Belyaeva, taking the dubious honor of having a weirder last name than even Grebenshchikova.

•Her favorite color is white with other colors, since it makes the others stand out more, and her least favorite is white by itself, since it’s “soulless”. That’s… huh. Is that meant to mean anything? Could it be she sees herself as the color white; uninteresting and boring on her own, but helps other people seem more interesting by association? Am I reading too much into this? Probably, but that’s sort of my shtick at this point.

•Her favorite ice cream flavor is funfetti. Based.

•She smells strongly like women’s perfume. I guess, why not, right? Notably, Hu smells like women’s perfume as well, but it’s apparently fainter. Doubt it means anything, but it’s there.

+Veronika can do no wrong. This is an objective truth. Slay queen (but, wait to like, chapter five. I really, really hope you don’t die at three).

And finally, like I did with Min, here's a few songs which remind me of Veronika! And as you're gonna see, my music taste sort of really aligns with the kind of songs one would assign Veronika.

CW, some of these can include topics like murder and extremely disturbing imagery.

-The Chattering Lack of Common Sense, by Ghost & Pals

-End World Normophaty, by Ghost & Pals

-Hide And Seek (English cover by Lizz Robinet), original by Ho-Ong-i

-Corrosion, by Riproducer / RIP

-Chronic Wasting Disease, by Riproducer / RIP

-The Spider and the Kitsune-Like Lion, by MASA Works (CW for this one in particular, it's really fucked up. Cannibalism, torture, necrophilia, etc)

-Hi-fi Evolution Theory, by Keu Studio (probably her character playlist song)

-What Gave it Away, by Riproducer / RIP

-Matryoshka, by Hachi

-Honey I'm Home, by Ghost & Pals

-Entomologists, by Ghost & Pals

-The Experiment, by Steampianist

-The Boy who Went to Hell, by SHUDDER

-Secrets of Wysteria, by Steampianist (CW, this one is based on real events of violent crimes)

-The Dismemberment Song, by Blue Kid

-Mad Hatter, by Melanie Martinez

-Uncanny, by Ghost & Pals

-God-ish, by PinocchioP

-I Can't Fix You, by The Living Tombstone (Veronika loves FNAF, you can’t convince me otherwise)

-Always Wanted, by MiatriSs - SayMaxWell

-The Red Means I Love You, by Madds Buckley

-Already Dead, by KittenSneeze

Alright, I'll stop there. With the final song:

-Happy Birthday! (but, like, a creepy cover or something)

Spun Sugar

Summary: Ryoko pulls out her memory notebook, sighs softly to herself, and writes, I think maybe I'm in love with Junko Enoshima.

For DR WLWeek 2024: Prompt Four: Memory Loss.

Rating: T.

AO3

She doesn’t know when she picks up the first magazine.

That’s not exactly true.  Somewhere, she must know when she did; it’s only that she can’t access the memory.  She’s forgotten it.  That’s the proper term for it: forgetting.  But so much of forgetting feels more like misplacing the memories, like when she buys something special and wants to put it somewhere special so that she doesn’t lose it, only then she doesn’t remember where that special place is that she put her special thing, and then, because she’s her, she forgets that she even bought the special thing in the first place, so she just opens up that one drawer in her desk one day and finds something new and wonderful and fascinating that she’d forgotten she’d ever had in the first place!

…okay, so the metaphor’s a little broken.  But that’s okay!  Broken isn’t bad after all, because then she would be bad, and she’s not!  So there!

Ryoko doesn’t remember when she picks up the first magazine, and even if she did, she wouldn’t know why she picked it up.  She’s never really been one for all of those fashion idols (at least, as far as she can remember, which isn’t very far, but she doesn’t feel like she’s ever been one of those people who gets super obsessed with fashion and looking nice, except for maybe looking nice for Yasuke, but he doesn’t ever seem to notice that, so maybe not even for him, except sometimes, because she forgets), but there’s something familiar about the model with the bright blue eyes and the pink hair.  She looks like cotton candy, all pink and blue and even white, like the paper stick the fluffy sugar is always on, and cotton candy is one of her favorites!  That’s been written down in her notebook: she loves cotton candy, especially because one time Yasuke bought some for her at the fair, and she’d gotten it all over her face, and he’d brushed some of it off with his thumb and eaten it!  Sometimes she’s not sure that actually happened, like maybe it was a dream, but whenever she reads it, she gets all tingly inside, so it must be true!

But the thing is….

The thing is that when Ryoko looks at the girl on the magazine cover, she gets all tingly inside, too.  Sometimes, her heart pounds quick and hard in her chest like it does when she thinks about Yasuke, too, which doesn’t make any sense at all, because that’s the way she knows that she’s in love, and she’s in love with Yasuke, so she can’t be in love with that girl in the magazine.

But Ryoko buys the magazine anyway and she holds it to her chest and then she gets far enough away, long enough away that she forgets why she's holding the magazine to her chest and then she slows and she looks at it and she doesn’t remember but that tingling feeling comes back again and her eyes grow wide and she hopes that she bought that magazine (or maybe it came from Yasuke, maybe that's why her heart is pounding like that) and she holds it to her chest again and she runs to her dorm and she remembers just long enough to tuck the magazine into a secret special spot so that no one else knows she has it and she can take it out and look at that girl with the cotton candy sugar look and wonder why she makes her all tingly inside except that she forgets where she put it and forgets that she has it.

(Ryoko does not remember this, but there are somewhere between fifty and two hundred copies of magazines with Junko Enoshima’s face on them hidden around her dorm room, in numerous secret places to keep someone else from seeing them.  Every now and again, she sticks the newest magazine in the same spot that she’s already used and she stares at the other one blankly before hiding them both together.  She’s most likely to find the one she hides under her pillow.  But that requires her to shove her hand there while she’s still awake, and that happens less often than you’d think.)

Then the day comes when Ryoko tries to stash her new magazine and finds that the special place she wants to stash it already has so many magazines with that idol’s gorgeous face on it hidden there that the new one won’t fit.  So she tries another special place only to find the same thing.  Again and again and again, until she’s pulled out all of her magazines – so many multiples of the same ones, but so many variations, too – and has to admit to herself that maybe, just maybe, she has a problem.

Ryoko pulls out her memory notebook, sighs softly to herself, and writes, I think maybe I’m in love with Junko Enoshima.

~

After confessing her problem to herself, Ryoko goes on the biggest spree she thinks she has ever been on (mostly because she can’t remember ever going on a bigger one, even if she already has).  She starts taking notes in her notebook about all the really super cool wonderful things about Junko Enoshima, starting with her cotton candy colors (which makes her wonder if she tastes like cotton candy, and then she flushes a really bright red because why is she thinking about what Junko Enoshima tastes like and then she reads where her notebook says that maybe she’s in love with Junko and then she feels bad because she’s pretty sure she’s supposed to be in love with Yasuke, but she wouldn’t have written that she was maybe in love with Junko if she wasn’t maybe in love with Junko, so that’s a problem) and then her big bright happy always excited smile and how all of her clothes in all of those pictures look like they fit so well and Ryoko wonders what she would look like in Junko’s clothes and then she thinks that probably she wouldn’t look good in them at all because she’s all red and ugly and plain and Junko’s Junko.

Once Ryoko’s finished writing down all the things she likes about Junko, she starts investigating her, starting by reading all of the interviews in the magazines she has.  Some of them she reads multiple times.  The interviews don’t stick.  So she starts taking notes on that, too, which only kind of helps.

And then Ryoko reads that Junko goes to Hope’s Peak Academy.

That sounds familiar.

Ryoko flips through her notebook and then stops, her eyes widening.

She goes to Hope’s Peak Academy!  Sort of!

And so does Yasuke!

So maybe he can—

~

“What?”

Yasuke looks at her with anger.  Ryoko’s pretty sure she’s never seen Yasuke look angry before because it looks really ugly on him except that it doesn’t because Yasuke’s not ugly but she’s pretty sure if she’d seen Yasuke look angry before she would remember it.  She would have written it down, and she would have tried to draw him so that she could remember what he looked like when he was angry, even if it’s probably her least favorite of her looks.

“What the hell do you want with Junko Enoshima?”

Ryoko can’t explain it without saying that she thinks she’s maybe in love with her, and she can’t tell Yasuke that because maybe it would break his heart.  He seems to really hate this Junko girl.  But that means he has to know her, because you can only hate someone that completely if you know them!  Or have been hurt by them!

...which makes her like Junko a little less because how could she like anyone who would hurt Yasuke.

“I-I-I just see her in those magazines all the time, and she’s really pretty, and I thought maybe she could help me look prettier because you’re always saying how ugly I am!”  Ryoko holds her notebook tight to her chest like a lifeline (because it is one).

Yasuke’s eyes narrow.  “Are you lying to me?” he asks, his voice a growl.  In another situation, this could be cute.  Right now, it’s not cute.  It’s actually kind of scary.  It should be funny that Yasuke can be scary, except that it isn’t because he’s being scary, but maybe later, she’ll think about it and laugh!  Except probably not because she’ll probably forget just how scary Yasuke can be.  His voice softens.  “Is your memory better?”

“N-n-no—”

Yasuke reaches out and snatches Ryoko’s notebook from her.

“Hey!”

Ryoko leans up on her tiptoes to try and take it back from him, but Yasuke places a hand on her forehead, holding her in place as he scans the pages.  “That’s my personal notebook!” she cries out.  “I’ll forget if you don’t give it back—”

Yasuke’s eyes widen in horror.  “You’re in love with her?”

Ryoko stops flailing for her notebook and immediately averts her eyes, blushing.  “M-m-maybe.”  She doesn’t want to see how heartbroken Yasuke must be.  “I thought…I thought maybe if you introduced me to her—”

“She’s an ugly fucking bitch,” Yasuke says, tucking Ryoko’s notebook in his dirty shirt.  “Just as ugly as you are.  No.  Worse.”  He shoves Ryoko towards the bed.  “Look, while you’re here, we can do that procedure.  Help you with your memory.”

“B-b-but my notebook—”

“I’ll give it to you when you’re done.”  Yasuke glares at her.  “Now get up so I can help you.”

~

When Ryoko wakes up, she doesn’t know where she is.  This doesn’t look like her room.  There aren’t a bunch of post-it notes everywhere.  To be fair, she doesn’t know that there should be post-it notes everywhere, and she doesn’t really remember what her room looks like, so maybe this is her room—

“You awake, ugly?”

Ryoko’s heart pounds once, hard, in her chest.  She knows that voice.  She knows—

Yasuke appears on the side of her bed and taps her head with a notebook.  “This belongs to you.  But you’ve got to write something in it before you go anywhere, got it?”

“S-s-sure?” Ryoko says, uncertain.  “What do I write?”

“I, Ryoko Otonashi, hate Junko Enoshima.”

~

Every now and again, Ryoko passes magazines with Junko Enoshima’s face on them.  She stares at them for a while, and her heart pounds in that wonderful, horrible way it does when she thinks of Yasuke.  Her hands reach for them like reaching for her notebook.  Sometimes, she even buys one or two.

But then Ryoko reads in her memory notebook that she hates Junko Enoshima.

Which is weird, because it feels kind of like she’s maybe in love with her.  This feeling is love, isn’t it?  Because it’s the same feeling she gets about Yasuke, like maybe her hearts going to tear itself into bits from the pain of it all, and she knows she loves Yasuke, it’s written all over her notebook in so many different ways with so many hearts and doodles.

But her notebook can’t be wrong.

So maybe love and hate just feel the same?

Ryoko thinks maybe she should ask Yasuke about that.  He’d probably have something to say about it.  But she also thinks that maybe she shouldn’t tell Yasuke that she thinks maybe she’s actually in love with Junko Enoshima and her notebook is wrong.

So she keeps the magazines she buys, and she hides them, and she looks at them with confusion, and she wonders why she would write that she hates Junko when her heart says she loves her.

Until she hides the magazine and she forgets again.

How would you portray each storm hawk personally, theor personality ect.

I am literally salivating at the mouth at the question rn 💞 OKEY SO, I am going to try to keep it short cuz if I tried to put every single thought I have of Storm Hawks down I would probably pass the non-existent word limit XD these are just my headcanons tho lol

Aerrow: He is under a lot of pressure to unite the kingdoms and finally bring peace to all of Atmos to the point he let his role as the sky knight of the Storm Hawks consume his personality. Finn has his guitar, Junko has his scrap but all Aerrow has is his training (and occasional air surfing) he lets himself have fun, but it's generally for the sake of his teammates. Don't get me wrong he is an amazing leader and even a better warrior but that's all he ever lets himself be while Atmos is still threatened by the Cyclonians. He is an ridiculously brave adrenalin addict with a good heart that, in the end of the day, wants both Atmos and Cyclonia to have their good ending.

Piper: Curious and ever-questioning by nature. She is almost obsessive with her crystal work and willing to lose countless hours of sleep for it. She is clever, understandably strict and can be snobbish at times, especially in the presence of people she admires. She has a good heart and shares Aerrow sentiment for both sides of the war to have their good ending.

Finn: He has an inflated ego, a wild imagination and hyperactive tendencies. Despite his arrogant and sometimes cowardly behavior, he is competent. He enjoys annoying Piper and getting up to mischief with Junko, but at the end of the day, his antics are harmless and he knows to own up to something he actually messed up in (like the episode where Aerrow broke all the bones in his body)

Junko: He has no self confidence, despite his feats, and relies on Finn to hype him up. Despite being in front lines of war, he hates conflict and fights between his friends and generally doesn't know how to behave when it's directed at him. He is actually an amazing cook, the only problem is wallop food can't really be digested by humans.

Stork: Two words. Anxiety and trauma. He is generally cowardly and avoids facing the enemy outside of his safe space that is the Condor. He is erratic and his behavior gets unpredictable outside of Condor (like when he ate a crystal and got stuck with a raptor) he is an amazing plot, shown by the fact he can keep the older-than-100-years and falling apart Condor up, running and even winning against Cyclonia. I genuinely believe Condor wouldn't last a week without him to be her life support.

Radarr: The team pet that hates being called that. I have nothing bad to say about him. Perfection personified. Third best character in the show. I am very very biased about cute animals. He is brave, competent and knows how to keep a falling apart skimmer afloot. Rebuild a rusty old skimmer. Let him fly the Condor. I love him.

Shinigami discovering Halloween

Halloween post #4

Pairing:shinigami x male reader

Summary:Despite your girlfriend being kind of a ghost, she's not familiar with Halloween, but when she heard it was a holiday dedicated to death and fear, she couldn't have been happier to celebrate

A/n:Shinigami is just ghost junko change my mind......I love her so much. I forgot if it's been confirmed if vivia can see Shinigami, but I'm pretty sure it's been heavily implied, and it would be weird if he couldn't with his forte also I really like him and wanted to write something with him in it. Shinigami is always in her human form in this.

Everything was quiet at the nocturnal detective agency. You were reading a book vivia recommended you while relaxing on the couch. The only sound that could be heard was the rain pouring outside. Everything was relaxing and quiet

"Masteeeeeer! Come on master I'm sooo bored let's do something"

Except for the death god standing behind you, that is

"*sighs* I am doing something, shinigami, I'm reading"

"Yeah, but I'M not doing anything. Is your book more important than your super hot and cute and awesome gf?"

"I swear you're so needy"

"I can't help it. I love you so much master"

You blushed and sighed again

"Fine, just let me finish this chapter, and I'm all yours"

"Wait, what am I supposed to do in the meantime?"

"I dunno just look out the window or something. It's won't be long"

"Alriiiiight, it's still boring though, with the rain you can't see anything"

"I think it makes it more scenic, but think what you want"

Shinigami floated over to the window near the couch and noticed something unusual outside

"Hey, what's with all the dressed up kids?"

"Oh, it's Halloween, so they're probably just trick-or-treating"

"Hm? Halloween, what's that?"

"You don't know? I thought you of all..... beings would know"

"Master, with all due respect, I really don't care about human festivities, oh except for funerals, those are always so fun"

"....anyway, Halloween is like.....Uhm how do I explain it?"

"Halloween is the night the spirits of the dead come the closest to the human world"

You two turned towards the voice and saw vivia lying under the couch while reading

"Aaahhhh, it's the anemic vampire!"

"Hi vivia, what were you doing there?"

"Reading, like you"

"That's not what I......nevermind, is what you said true?"

"Yes, in fact, there are a lot more spirits than usual today, and the number will only grow during the night"

"Oh, so that's why you didn't leave like the others? Cause you didn't want to see all the spirits?"

"Indeed, though, there are a lot of them here too....it's annoying.....*sighs* I wanna die"

"I guess I noticed that too, I didn't think too much about it, though,"

"That's cool to know, I guess people have a good reason to celebrate then"

"I still don't get it. What's that got to do with all the kids in costumes?"

"Children go around in costumes asking for candies this holiday"

"......why?"

"Uhm?"

"If Halloween is like ghost day, why do kids ask for candies? That has nothing to do with it"

"...I guess the costumes can be kinda scary sometimes, I get your point though"

"That's soooo unfair. This holiday is supposed to be about ghosts and fear and, most importantly, death. It's supposed to be super scary, and those kids are ruining it"

"....I really don't think it's their fault, this has been a tradition for basically forever"

"Well, we need to change it, master let's go!"

Shinigami started flying away from where you were faster, making the chain on your neck appear and drag you near her

"S-shini, stop! You're hurting me"

"Oh eheh sorry master"

"Where are we going anyway?"

"Outside, we need to scare everyone we see and bring the true spirit of Halloween!"

"No"

"What! Whyyyyyy?"

"Cause we can't, how would we do it anyway?"

"I'm a death god, I'll definitely spook all of them in no time"

"1:Only me and vivia can see you, so that wouldn't work, and 2:you just look like a very beautiful woman, that won't scare anyone"

"So you finally recognized my beauty"

"I tell you that basically every day shini, but anyway yeah, we won't go"

"*sighs* I guess you're right master, that's such a shame, though"

You looked at Shinigami's sad and pouting face and felt bad for her

"But I guess we could do some other Halloween things"

"Hm, like what?"

"We can bake some autumn sweets for us, or I guess me since you can't eat, we can also watch horror movies"

"Oh oh, yeah, horror movies, let's watch one, with a lot of murders please"

"Alright, I'll put on a slasher....and we can cuddle meanwhile"

"Yaaaay ok now I'm sooo happy master, thanks I love you so much master"

"I love you too"

The death god flied over to you and kissed your cheek before moving to the couch and floating on it, making herself comfortable and waiting for you to start an amazing movie night

Beautiful Sinner

Chapter 2: Nightmare

Previous Part: CH-1

Next Part: Not here! ( •̯́ ₃ •̯̀)

Word Count: 2,679

Main Pairing: Toko Fukawa x Gen!Neutral Reader

Summary: You *just* arrived and you already feel like you're going insane.

Author note: I feel bad for being so late >_< so sorry;; also I lied here is the part but on tumblr ᕙ( •̀ ᗜ •́ )ᕗ for now my fic is active on Ao3 (main), Quotev and here! It's also published on wattpad but I'm not sure If ill update it there too, it is alot of work but I want as many people to read my work as possible sooo I'll try to keep up with it ദ്ദി(｡•̀ ,<)~✩‧₊

!!CW:!! Murder is described in this chapter! Starts when you see the "….. ᶻ's " If you want to read past it keep scrolling until you see another pair of " ….. ᶻ's "

You and Sayaka finally made it to the dorms, but not without you observing the other rooms as you passed through the school. It really had everything, you saw a bathhouse, dressing room, laundry room, dining hall, warehouse, and you’re sure there’s more to search later. You’d say its heaven but considering the situation you’re in now…it’s the opposite.

“Ah! Here we are!” Sayaka says happily. You two stood in the hallway between 12 rooms, the others located further down. “Wow, this school wasn’t lying when they said we’d be set for life. There’s a lot of useful stuff here…except for a hair salon. Would’ve loved a room to do my hair with all my materials.” You say with an annoyed sigh.

She giggles. “Aw, don’t be like that y/n! I see you already have some of them, right?” She gestures towards your waist apron with a few basic hair tools. “Well, yes..but that’s not enough to do my or anyone else’s hair!” You whined.

“I’m sure there’s a room with the things you need around here somewhere, after all this school is massive!” She smiles while staring at your hair. “I can tell you take good care of your hair..it’s so pretty.”

You could feel your face burn in embarrassment. Sure, you’ve received compliments about your hair many times but coming from Sayaka, an idol, it made you feel different. Especially since she was so gorgeous. “Oh!..thank you! I appreciate it.”

“Of course!” Her eyes then travel back to the dorms, searching for hers. “Hmm…oh! There’s mine!” She points towards the door on her right, you also took notice of the rooms beside hers. Those being Chihiros and coincidently, Makoto’s.

You stare at it, thinking about Makoto. Is he okay? Is he still asleep? Did something happen to him again? Those thoughts clouded your mind until Sayaka spoke up again. “Worried about Makoto still?” She tilts her head. “Don’t worry y/n, we can check up on him later. For now, should probably let him rest..” She voiced.

“Yeah..yeah you’re right. He must be unconscious still, I guess it’s best to wait until he wakes up.” Speaking of resting…you could really use a good nap right now. Where was your dorm?

You look around for your dorm and eventually spot it in-between Junko and Celeste’s dorm. Resting next to Junko doesn’t seem to bad, as for Celeste…you weren’t sure. You’ve only spoken to her once, maybe you’ll get to know her better later.

“Found my dorm.” You point towards the door with a little pixel you on it. It was kind of cute..you guess. “Perfect!” Sayaka holds her hands together. “Let’s check out our rooms, then we can meet back out here!...if that’s okay with you of course!” She says.

You nod in response. “That’s perfect. I’ll see you in a little bit then.” With that, she nods and heads straight into her dorm and you go into yours. As soon as you stepped inside and closed the door behind you, you realized it’s not like your typical dorm room.

It had…everything useful for a hair stylist!

There were three shampoo systems, three hood dryers, two salon chairs, a shelf filled with multiple hair products, scarfs, shower caps, blow dryers, combs, brushes, hair straighteners and curlers, and so much more..! This school even hooked you up with beautiful bonnets! With these tools you can do everybody’s hair in here…well, not for free.

And…of course there was your bed and bathroom you guess..that’s good too. But the tools is what you cared about the most. Not only did Monokuma hook you up with good hair products, but also some good personal ones too. On the nightstand beside your bed a bottle of shea butter lotion, dove deodorant including the soap, Olay bodywashes and a few perfume options to choose from.

Damn…you really shouldn’t be praising the bastard who put you in this mess but he really knew what specific items you used. It was a little creepy, but nonetheless you appreciate that you won’t be walking around the school looking AND smelling a mess.

“Phuhu~ You like it, stylist?”

“AHH!” You screamed while stumbling backwards, landing on your backside. “Y..you!!”

“Indeed! I am Monokuma!” He giggles into his paws at your reaction. “Didn’t mean to scare you buddy. Anyways…again, do you like your dorm, stylist?” He asks again. “uh…yes..?” You respond, your voice filled with uncertainty.

“You better!” He waddles over to you with his paw pointing at you. “All of these hair products, machines, and personal hygiene were expensive!” He angrily says. “I didn’t know you hair stylists were so high maintenance! I mean granted I have more than enough to buy them all but still! I better see you use every single one of these items, stylist!” He scolds you as if you were his child.

“What the..?!” You get up, now towering over the small Monokuma. “Did you just come to my dorm to yell at me? Get out now!” You yell at him, meanwhile he keeps that same angry expression. “Nuh-uh, you don’t have the power to send me off, kid! And besides…I came to give you this.”

He reaches into his non-existent pocket and hands you what looks like a room key, specifically a key to your dorm. “Your room was the last one I had to prepare, and I realized I forgotten to leave your key inside it.” You take it from him cautiously and slowly, as if he’s going to suddenly bite your hand.

Monokuma giggled at that. “Aw..scared a lil ole me?” He laughs out loud, showing off his sharp teeth. “You should bee~” You huffed in irritation and proceeded to point towards your door. “Just get out already!”

“Fine! Ungrateful brat..” He mummers before disappearing. You were alone again.

You let out a sigh of relief then sat onto your neatly done bed. Before you laid your body down on the soft blanket, your eyes caught a glimpse of a shiny coin on your nightstand. You picked up the coin and examined it…it was…a Monokuma coin?...a monocoin? You scoffed. How ridiculous….. yet, you slipped it into your waist apron. Might be handy later.

“This is so…..ughhh!” You frustratingly screamed, face palming yourself and then laying your back against the soft sheets. What were you going to do? You were trapped with 16 other strangers alongside a psychopathic bear and you could die at any minute! Why…why you of all people? Why did this have to happen to you specifically?

This was bullshit.

You need to take a nap for awhile..maybe for 30 minutes or so. Sayaka won’t mind, right? She knows where you are afterall..hell, she’s probably still looking around in her room. You slowly closed your eyes.

A little…rest…won’t hurt….

Yeah….yeah..you’ll see her in 30 minutes. After a few minutes of pure silence, you drifted off to sleep.

Unfortunately missing the few gentle knocks at your door.

“Y/n…..” A gentle voice whispered your name, their hand brushing against your cheek like a warm breeze. Exhaustion enveloped you, as if every ounce of energy was being siphoned from your very essence. You found yourself unable to stir, your body feeling heavy and frail.

Your eyes fluttered open, taking in your surroundings. You found yourself in a bathroom, sitting on the floor with your back against the wall, your left arm stained with blood and a fresh stab wound that continued to bleed profusely. As you shifted your gaze downward, you noticed that your right calf was also injured, bearing a matching wound that was equally oozing blood.

Yet, everything felt numb. All you could focus on was the person in front of you clutching a bloodied kitchen knife—Sayaka Maizono. But, she didn’t strike you as someone capable of causing harm, much less taking a life. So… why?

“I’m…I’m sorry!” she cried, her voice trembling as her clearly broken nose leaked blood. “I didn’t want to…to do this..not to you.” Tears streamed down her face, splattering onto your blood-stained shirt. She looked so traumatized, like she hadn’t mean to hurt you in the first place. “It wasn’t..*sniff*..supposed to be you..!”

How did it end up like this?… ‘Sayaka… why?’ was the question you longed to voice, yet all that escaped your lips were only anguished murmurs.

She suddenly clung to you tightly, the knife still firmly in her grasp, tears streaming down her face as she buried her face in your neck. “I’m so sorry…b-but I have to do this…please forgive me!” In one quick movement, she pulled the hand holding the blade away and drove it deep into your abdomen. Your eyes grew wide with shock; a scream threatened to escape your lips, but no sound came.

You could only remain frozen in fear, helplessly observing as your blood seeped through your garments and trickled down your legs. She pulled the knife away, her gaze locking onto yours, realizing you were still alive. “No no no…I’m sorry I’m sorry, I’ll make try to make it quicker…” She cries as she gripped the knife in her hand in guilt. It seemed so cruel to allow you to bleed out slowly, so… she directed her blade towards your neck and drove it in. But instead of taking it out, she let you choke on your own blood.

…This option didn’t seem much better, but you did feel the life being drained from you quicker. You watched her intently as she rose from the floor, her hands stained with blood as she tried to wipe away her tears. The crimson streaks marred her face, and some of it splattered onto her shirt and skirt. The bathroom floor was a gruesome sight, soaked in blood that continued to flow from your fresh abdominal wound, and now with the injury on your neck, your clothes were becoming increasingly tainted.

You made one last desperate attempt to cry out, to call for help, but deep down, you understood there was no hope. The only thing that escaped your quivering lips was blood. Sayaka looked at you, her eyes filled with remorse for a fleeting moment before she stepped out of the bathroom, shutting the door softly behind her, but not before flicking off the light, plunging you into complete darkness.

She left you all alone in the dark to die…how cruel. You thought she was your friend…why..why did it have to be you?

With one final breath, you felt your soul leaving your body finally. Sayaka Maizono murdered you.

If you were still able to talk, what would you ask? Was it worth it?...Would she do it to another classmate if not you?..Did she intend to kill you the moment she saw you?..How would Makoto feel?

Questions that you’ll never get an answer for. Because you no longer existed.

“…ugh!!” You shot up from sleep, drenched in sweat and your heart racing wildly in your chest. You propped yourself up, your fingers brushing against your neck and stomach. That dream, or rather, that nightmare, felt incredibly real. Yet, here you were, awake and safe. What on earth was that nightmare about? Why did Sayaka kill you? And why—?

*DING DONG DING DONG DING DONG DING DONG*

“Okay..okay! Stop! I’m coming…” you grumble, feeling a bit irritated as you push yourself off the bed and shuffle toward the door. With a yawn slipping out, you swing the door open. “..Taka?” You murmur. “AH..Y/N!..So THIS is where you’ve been hiding all this time!” He exclaims. “You really worried everyone, you know!...especially Makoto…” he adds, his voice dropping for the last part. “We were all convinced something terrible had happened to you!”

Makoto was worried about you..? wait…He’s awake?? “Wait what—? Makoto is awake?” you exclaim, a blend of shock and relief washing over you.. “Yes, he’s fine… but seriously, why did you think it was okay to nap for an hour and a half without telling anyone?!” he reprimands, prompting you to shoot him an irritated look. “Come on, cut me some slack! I didn’t plan on sleeping that long; I just meant to take a quick nap, but… well, it turned out to be a bit longer than I expected.”

“Clearly!” He states. “Now…please head to the dining hall with me, we’re holding a meeting, and we cannot start without you.”

"Uhm.. I appreciate the offer, but I can make it to the dining hall on my own. I’ll see you there." Just as you were about to shut the door, Taka wedged his foot between the door and the frame. "I really must insist." You give him a long look and let out a resigned sigh. "….fine, just let me freshen up first."

Once you had tidied your hair and brushed off your clothes, you made your way to the dining hall with Taka, feeling a bit reluctant. As you strolled toward the hall, a thought struck you—you had carelessly thrown your waist apron somewhere in the room. You considered turning back to grab it, feeling somewhat exposed without it, but then decided you could always pick it up later

At this moment, you really had to get up to speed with your classmates…who had been busy digging for information while you were asleep…this may end badly for you. They likely put in a ton of effort while you were relaxing in your room…or rather, you wouldn’t exactly call it ‘relaxing’ given the nightmare, but still…

Anywho, you two finally made it to the dining hall and were immediately greeted with everyone eyes on you two, more so you. Everyone sat at the same table except for Toko and Byakuya, who sat at a different, smaller table. Toko wasn’t sitting with him but was standing near him.

And..wait..Kyoko wasn’t there. Strange.

“Y/n! There you are!” Sayaka exclaims, her face lighting up with relief as she jumps up from her chair and rushes over to you, wrapping you in a warm hug with her head against your shoulder. “I..I thought something had happened to you..I tried to ring your door bell but you didn’t answer.” Her voice trails off, and she glances away, a hint of embarrassment coloring her cheeks. “So I assumed you had left your room..”

Your breath caught in your throat as she unexpectedly wrapped her arms around you. Every time you laid eyes on her, the haunting nightmare replayed in your mind. A part of you wanted to keep your distance, yet another part ached with sympathy for her; after all, it wasn’t her doing that you had such a terrifying dream. You reassured yourself that it was just the overwhelming stress of the situation, she’s harmless..is what you tell yourself.

"Y/n?" She lifts her head from your shoulder, calling your name softly. “Ah, sorry to scare you Sayaka, I was just sleeping.” you reply, feeling a bit embarrassed as you rub the back of your head. You give her a gentle pat on the back, which brings a warm smile to her face. "No worries! I’m just happy to see you’re okay. By the way, Makoto woke up a little while ago!" She points to him at the table, where he offers you a friendly smile and a wave.

“And guess what? I found out we used to go to the same middle school!” She happily chirps, her face lighting up. “How funny is that? What middle school did you go to? Maybe we have—"

“Sayaka…Y/n!” Taka clears his throat with a loud cough. “Let’s put a pin in this conversation for now; please take a seat!”

Sayaka's shoulders droop a bit as a rosy hue spreads across her cheeks, but she manages a nod. "Alright... um... Y/n?" Releasing her grip on you, she takes your hand gently. "You’ll sit next to me, right?"
