Danganronpa Mermaid AU 🐚🌊☠️

This is my Take on the Danganronpa Mermaid AU.

I own my Fangan characters who are shown here.

————————————————————————

Plot of concept:

This Danganronpa Mermaid AU takes place in a Modern setting with some classic tropes from mermaid stories that you have already seen.

Each story will explain a different part of the Mermaids trying to make contact with the Humans of this world.

STORY #1 - SAKURA X KENSHIRO FIC.

PLOT:

“This story is similar to the little mermaid with Sakura as Ariel and Kenshiro as the son of an important leader and Junko is the Sea witch who can shapeshift into use magic.”

———————————————————-

Character Lore: Story #1

SAKURA OGAMI aka Ariel

Sakura is the granddaughter of the leader of her mermaid group who Trains some of the other Merfolk to be strong fighters against other mermaids and Humans (Who some fear the most.)

Sakura is one of those powerful fighters who wants to be respected by the other Merfolk but her grandfather forbids that she fights due to him being Traditional and all that.

Sakura also doesn't know what happens to her parents who went missing a couple of years ago.

AOI HINA aka Sakuras friend!

Hina is one of Sakuras few friends and she is supportive of Sakura and she wants her to prove her Grandfather wrong and show that a woman can be as strong as a man!

Hina is also supportive of her when Sakura falls in love with Kenshiro and Hina wants Sakura to be happy.

Hina also has a Younger brother name Yuta who wants to be as fast as his older sister!

KENSHIRO aka The Child of an important leader.

Kenshiro is a sickly teen who is usually stuck in his room due to his parents worried for him and don't want him to hurt himself. He is tired of being stuck in one place and wants to get better so he can take over for his parents in the future.

Kenshiro also falls in love with Mermaid Sakura who he first sees when he is sitting on the beach and saw her looking at him behind a large rock.

JUNKO ENOSHIMA aka The Sea Witch!

Junko is the Sea witch who is known for her powerful magic! And can help anyone…For a Price…

Junko is also known for her ability to Shapeshift and her relationship with the Mermaid Fighter Murkuro aka the leader of the Royal guard and Royal army!

———————-

Note by creator!

Thanks for reading this! I wanted to get this down for a while and I think this AU is pretty interesting concept wise!

Also, There will be more posts for this AU in the future! so be ready when you can!

Also! Some of the Kenshiro X Sakura Ogami story was inspired by the little mermaid with some tweaks to my version.

DISTRUTHS - trial 5

Alright!!! final trial time

monobear continues to be so rude about playing his little prank on them.

then he says that this trial is different. everybody already knows who killed tsubame, that's pretty clear. the thing that monobear wants to know is who was her accomplice, because he wants to execute them.

when asked "didn't you set up that trap specifically for the accomplice, why don't you know who it is," he says

"i. uh. was asleep."

ANYWAYS the accomplice can make it easier for everybody by fessing up.

there's not really a good incentive to confess though, someone says, and monobear is like "right."

shackles suddenly close around everybody's legs. "if the accomplice doesn't confess, i'm just gonna kill everybody one by one until they do. teehee!"

noboru suggests that, well, maybe the accomplice can't confess because he literally can't remember.

it's quickly pointed out that this is extremely unlikely, since he's obviously been attacked and there was red hair at the scene. whoever was the attacker was probably the person with red hair.

monobear immediately denies that there's any other secret person hanging around, so there's no playing that card.

matsui just says it's her, but it's clear that it's not true and she's saying it more out of self-loathing despair and she refuses to elaborate.

monobear spills the tea because, well, matsui did text "tsubame" a lot, and one of the conversations they had was her apologizing for something she said to tsubame shortly before the office blew up. (again, hadn't exactly filled it out, but the gist is matsui feels guilty about whatever she said because it could be construed that she said something bad enough that it drove tsubame to die by suicide...or something)

anyways, everybody besides matsui try stalling for time by going over tsubame's death under the pretense of "well that's how we can figure out the accomplice."

essentially, tsubame took the poisoned "sleeping pills" before then using a monobear to explode the office door. one of the symptoms of the sleeping pills was "loss of sensation," and she used that in tandem with the information she gathered about the building and monobear to act as a decoy. her accomplice then would go in and grab whatever they could that looked useful and scram before Seki could notice.

tsubame eventually dies, Seki finds out about the ploy, then hides tsubame's body and brings out the headmaster's and the neurologist's bodies to sort of force everybody into a murder investigation.

then of course Seki pretended to be tsubame in order to figure out the accomplice. this is mainly out of spite and to enforce a show of power, so that everybody can give up the idea that they could ever escape.

anyways, the accomplice is kotone. they've...essentially been cosplaying this entire time, and their hair is a wig. their real hair color is red.

So, i'm not sure when, but i do know Seki shows up in person since there's not actually much point in keeping up the monobear facade, and also, they're all shackled. but anyways, now that it's been revealed, she gets ready to execute kotone, when. noboru. takes off his own leg and whacks her on the head with it, knocking her out.

it turns out, noboru has had a fake leg this whole time. (this is why he always looks so wobbly. honestly, the fake leg is a little too long.)

by the way, he has no idea why he has a fake leg. it's been sort of disconcerting for him this entire time.

(akane mentions that it's because it had to be amputated while they were being transferred to the headmaster's crazy secret base.)

noboru is able to press the button to release the shackles and then everybody proceeds to tie Seki up.

“Why was Noboru unconscious at the door?” Well, Noboru was actually…the second accomplice! He just didn’t know.

I’m not sure if Kotone knocked him unconscious or if he accidentally knocked himself unconscious, but Kotone tore some stuff out of his notebook because they realized this was a set up and they figured they should cover some tracks.

anyways, through either investigation or interrogation, it's found that Seki, as SHSL luck, was chosen as part of a huge raffle, the headmaster used this raffle mainly for funding, however. Seki grew disillusioned about the whole thing, especially since getting her into this school messed up her family's financials.

Mori, as the headmaster's daughter, had also been extremely unhappy with this whole thing, especially since it seemed the headmaster was essentially neglecting her in favor of "better kids." Mori is the one who kickstarted the riots, and she roped Seki into the plot.

Seki was fully aware that Mori was using her, but went along with it. But she also planned to turn against Mori at some point, because there was a big divergence between their viewpoint. Seki full on hated the school and the students because of the idea of elevating "talented kids." Mori was clearly more envious, her grudge was more personal, she still bought into the whole "talent" thing and therefore was just as bad or whatever.

anyways, that's what the motivation was.

seki's just like "haha and now i guess you'll kill me" and everybody else is just like "uh. no??? no, we're not doing that."

anyways they manage to open the door and that's when they find out the headmaster's secret base is a whole fuckin underwater facility in the middle of an island, and then that's where DISTRUST ends, that's all i thought of. i'll probably make another post for additional notes that didn't fit anywhere else.

ruggie but it was on leona's command. this is also the trial that has 3 possible endings that DON'T end in a game over.

verdict 1: the trial ends convicting ruggie with enough evidence and he gets executed and the game continues onward. and player has a future opportunity to find more evidence of leona's involvement and he is executed later after he is on trial for his 2nd kill (first kill by his own hands)

verdict 2: player finds enough evidence to convict and execute both ruggie and leona.

verdict 3: player finds enough evidence to convict both ruggie and leona. HOWEVER if player raised enough friendship points with ruggie they can defend him in trial and convince the court to let him free and only leona is executed. (ruggie will instead become a future victim within the next 2 chapters/killings)

[thelemoncoffee]

okay so, i found my aprilfools post again, and ya know what-

i think it's too peak to be a joke

an au where Kokichi wrote Danganronpa as a comic in collage with all his peers as the characters should be a proper au

bro wanted to make a comic for the internet to enjoy and went "hey these fuckos in my classes are wild enough to make characters out of, let's pit them against one another in a killing game", made functionally caricatures of a handful of said fuckos, came up with the concept of ultimates for extra zest, and shat out a comic series that the internet ate up

for THH he never asked any of them, he just used their personalities as bases and gave them anime makeovers and new last names so people wouldn't notice they were based on real people. for the second game it was a mix of doing the same thing for some characters, and actually asking the inspos for others because he actually liked these people. and for V3 he asked everybody because Shuichi- love of his life- wouldn't let him keep not asking people..... this resulted in his self insert because Kaito would only agree if Kokichi also added himself

after this Kokichi just kinda decided he was tired of making ronpa and fucked up the ending of V3 so it couldn't continue and ditched it. and unlike Kodaka he ain't caving later and trying to make ronpa with extra steps- no if he makes another comic ever again it's going to be something way out of left field like clown body horror or something

also just- Kokichi being a young idiot solo writing and drawing it as a hobby would also give a much more acceptable explanation for all the rough fuckery with it, both story and art wise

fic writer interview

tagged by bella swan @foggieststars

How many works do you have on AO3? 60 😳 but just 4 for f1 (actually 7 because 3 are on anon but you don't get to know what they are)

What's your total AO3 word count? 879,483! Top 5 fics by kudos? this is so embarrassing i don't even want to answer this. i'm only going to include fics i think are decent because there's one fic that would make this list that i see as legitimately bad and i refuse to link it

crossroads (klance), 109kw 9.2k kudos -> i wrote this when i was 18 years old and still in high school 😭 i don't even like this ship anymore not even a little 🫣 the fic is pretty good though

roommates (klance), 6.3kw 5.6k kudos -> see above...

route to reality (wriolette), 11.4kw 5.4k kudos -> not my fav ship but i think this fic is pretty good as a pwp. especially since i wrote it before they were even released the characterization has held up surprisingly well

to whom it may concern: i’m in love with zhang hao (haobin), 20.4kw 3.8k kudos -> i love this fic so much!!!!

below the collar (beomjun), 93kw [incomplete] 3.3k kudos -> literally my mortal enemy but not that bad imho... just i have personal beef with it

bonus: my beomjun social media au (350kw+) had tens of thousands of likes before i accidentally deleted it. definitely one of the best things i've ever written if not the best ever

my most kudosed f1 fic is the lestappen social media au which. yeah. we can still get the sebchal fic up there guys just 900 more kudos

Do you respond to comments? Why or why not? i usually didn't in other fandoms but for f1 i've been trying to!! i just feel so awkward saying the same thing over and over even if my "thank you sm for reading!! <3" are genuine. like i get worried someone will be like "why has she not had an original thought in any of these replies"

What's the fic you've written with the angstiest ending? definitely crossroads because you don't even find out if they end up together lmao 18 year old me was a bitch for that one... other than that maybe we're all eating each other (lestappen) because it's kind of bittersweet? it's not exactly angsty but it is supposed to make you feel like shit

What's the fic you've written with the happiest ending? almost all of them because i like happy endings... :)

Do you write crossovers? no zzz

Have you ever received hate on a fic? literally all the time 😭 especially when i wrote for txt like 50% of the messages i got would be hate. for the fic or sometimes just for me lmao

Do you write smut? If so what kind? i do BUT i hate writing it so i rarely write pwp anymore... and if i do it's because i've scammed myself into thinking there's a plot somewhere even if that's debatable (example: chalex fic) i also think i'm really bad at it so it makes me shy 😞

Have you ever had a fic stolen? i've had fics reposted on other sites without permission but idk if they claimed them as their own. afaik i've never had a fic stolen and rewritten for another fandom

Have you ever co-written a fic? i think once... but i'm really horrible at finishing things so i'm probably the worst person on earth to try this with

What's your all-time favourite ship? iwaoi from haikyuu and junnana from revue starlight

What's a WIP you don't think you'll finish? you mean ALL OF THEM...

What are your writing strengths? i think i write interesting fics? like idk they may not be the best written but i think the concepts i make up are always unique and well-executed if that makes sense

What are your writing weaknesses? my actual writing is pretty bland imho, straightforward and not poetic. but i guess this isn't always a bad thing

What was the first fandom you wrote for? i think... the first ship i ever wrote was narusasu when i was 9 or 10? and i posted it to ff.net. but if you mean "first fandom i wrote for seriously" it was dangan ronpa and i wrote a lot of hinakoma

What's a fandom/ship you want to write for but haven't yet? i really really want to write galex and i have many ideas for them but it's so hard for me to focus my brain on something that isn't charles for an extended period of time

What's your favourite fic you've ever written? real love story (soogyu) -> 50kw

i wrote this as a pinch hitter in an exchange for one of my bestest friends in the entire world. i was told 4 days before the deadline they needed someone to write a fic as my bff's original writer had dropped out, i remember seeing the recipient and being like ffs 😭 fine i'll do it but at what cost... i proceeded to write 50k words in 78 hours which was levels of mental illness i don't think i'll ever reach again. and SOMEHOW the fic turned out good? i reread this every few months to remind myself i can actually write lol

i tag anybody who hasn't done this already idk i can't keep track of who has been tagged already and i'm embarrassed what if i tag someone that's been tagged 500 times...

[midnightdemonhunter]

I don't if you consume a lot of this sort of content, but do you have any Mikan-centric recommendations? Specifically fanfics/things on AO3 so I can put them in my Mikan collection, but comics would be fine as well. I'm fine with any ship also—I specifically really want works that deal with either Mikan and Junko's relationships or Mikan's relationships with the rest of the remnants! But I'm pretty much fine with any Mikan content. I have a Mikan collection that needs more work! Though it's fine if you don't have anything to recommend, too; I'm not sure how big on reading fanfic you are versus writing it (her smile is the sun is one of my favorite fanfics ever btw). Just was wondering if you had any Mikan centric recommendations!

Ooooo thank you for the ask! I do in fact read a lot of fanfic, and there have been many times where I've gone out of my way to find Remnant or post canon sdr2 fics, so I do have some in mind!! (And thank you for the compliment!! I'm delighted to hear my fic stands out to you!!) Here's some Mikan recs:

The Lion's Den - Chapter 1 - Arcawolf - Dangan Ronpa [Archive of Our Own]

Okay so this fic is LONG, and it’s Makoto-centric, since it's 90% his pov in an au where he’s kidnapped by Remnant Komaeda in the middle of Despair Era. However Mikan’s dynamic with Makoto and the other remnants is a prominent feature, and I remember really enjoying her in this fic!

Kayleen756894 | Archive of Our Own

I’m just linking the author here since literally all their danganronpa fics are about Mikan and Junko lol. Might not be your thing if you’re looking for a darker, canon-compliant exploration of Mikan and Junko relationship, since all their fics are non-abusive Junkan, but I do love their writing style, and their fics are really fun! I’d recommend giving them a shot!

Okay it’s been a while since I read this one BUT I love all of op’s danganronpa works, and so I trust it completely! It’s post canon, and focuses on a still despair-filled Mikan’s recovery with the help of her classmates! So exploration of both Mikan’s relationships with them and Junko!

There's Something Wrong With Mikan Tsumiki - Chapter 1 - RedPen - Super Dangan Ronpa 2 [Archive of Our Own]

Obligatory ‘There’s something wrong with Mikan Tsumuki’ rec because all of Redpen’s remnant fics are SO good and everyone needs to read all of them. Premise is that after Hajime also gets Despair Disease, Fuyuhiko stays at the hospital overnight instead, and tries to prevent any murders! This is mostly Fuyuhiko’s pov but one of the chapters IS Mikan's pov and I just love her perspective and general creepiness in this!

Also obligatory rec of one of my own fics! Each chapter is a different direction specific remnants could have gone in! Mikan features a lot in the first chapter, and chapter 6 is fully a Mikan chapter, with the concept of her having birthed Junko’s child during the apocalypse! It focuses a lot on her dynamics with Hajime and Izuru during and post Despair Era, and I really enjoyed writing it!

Another one of mine whoops, but this is basically the funeral the About-to-become-Remnants give to Junko, and Mikan is a pretty noticeable figure in it!

Took me forever to find this fic again but this is one of my absolute fav Mikan oneshots!! It’s post canon, and concentrates on her dynamic with Komaeda and her former relationship with Junko. Really love how op tackles her own self-hate, and her continuous struggles with escaping Despair.

Anyway, that's all I can remember for now, but anyone can feel free to add more recs in reblogs or comments! I'm always happy to add to my repertoire of Remnant related fics :)

[catgirl-catboy]

Hey, remember my Ultimates Aren't Quite Human AU? I wrote something for it instead of sleeping/working on other projects! It's Makoto and Komaru centric, but I have ideas for what most characters in this universe would be like! Hopefully this explains the concept better than I can.

[hopeful-hugz]

🎱🎱🎱 (Yes this is me wanting you to Share more then one IF YOU WANT!!)

Send Me 🎱 and I Will Tell an AU or Verse that I Would like to Write || Accepting

🥚 I don't write it anymore unless on request but Hope's Da/ngan/ronpa AU was one of the only ones I had that got popular. I miss it sometimes but there's a lotta bad memories attached to it, so I only talk about it in private.

🥚 The AU I have over at @distancedisowned! Kind of a mix of magical girl stuff and my guilty pleasure with witches, wizards and the like. It takes place on an alternate version of Meyth and I haven't done much with it lately since there was never really an audience for it. I've been wanting to get back to it though and add another muse there. The actual protagonist for the series that's an unrelated OC.

🥚 This one I've been playing around with in the background buuuuuuuut. I do in fact have Nagete AUs for Hope and Teal and I. Actually really adore them and it's how I've been experimenting with Nagete Concepts for the longest time since the Nagete OC I have isn't on the blog yet.

Fic Writer Interview.

thanks for the tag @juudaimes-true-form. the @ is. not working. sorry kjnbhvbhj

1. How many works do you have on AO3?

30.

2. What’s your total AO3 word count?

245,076, apparently.

3. What are your top 5 fics by kudos?

Oumasai Oneshots: 1,297

A Fragile Bridge of Trust: 710

Lost Souls: 593

History Maker: 433

Game Over: 417

All of these are old and older. One of them isn't even finished. AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA--

Please read my newer works o(╥﹏╥)o

4. Do you respond to comments? Why or why not?

Nearly always yeah. I like the people who read my work and overcome whatever anxiety they might feel to know that I appreciate anything they have to say, and I'm grateful.

5. What’s the fic you’ve written with the angstiest ending?

I enjoy angst a fair bit but rarely do I ever write something that ends with angst. Obviously, Game Over was expressly written as a bad end to a v3 au i was working on, so it's the easy answer, but there are a few in the oumasai oneshots that I think count, namely Chapter 22, Chapter 24, Chapter 26, and in more ambiguous turf Chapter 19 and Chapter 15. I still like the ambiguous ones a fair bit even now, the first 2 not-ambiguous ones just do not hold up with my interpretation of the text anymore (and also i wrote worse), but 26 is fine. Game Over could have been better, but hey I was a different writer then.

That said I have a lot of stuff I consider heavy on angst, but since they have happy endings I don't think they count for this. But I enjoy that kind of fic the most.

6. What’s the fic you’ve written with the happiest ending?

the ones I haven't finished yet--/gets shot. Nah, probably Le Chasseur et le Démon (The Hunter and the Fiend), because it's a fairytale. It gets a fairytale ending. But I like happy endings so it's pretty hard for me to pick.

7. Do you write crossovers?

No because I tend not to like them and find them obtuse, UNLESS said crossover is between dangan ronpa and Higurashi. No I could not explain why these two things in specific inspired me this much. But also I'm SO right and one day I'll get back to those. But mostly crossover concepts exist in jokes in dms with my friend Cass.

8. Have you ever received hate on a fic?

Yep lmao. A couple times. It's been pretty lackluster though like solid 2/10 hate comment y'all can do better.

9. Do you write smut? If so, what kind?

No? Okay so I did orphan a series of fics that had smut in them, but that smut was kind of poetic and deliberately vague, and it's probably the most I plan on committing to in the future for the fics I'm working on rn.

I think people who write pwp or other hard smut are very impressive and have a set of skills I lack, namely....the ability to express physical intimacy in any capacity, including through words! I honestly like. Still struggle with kiss scenes sometimes, but for me all this comes down to my visceral irl discomfort with people existing within 3 feet of me, nevermind touching me.

10. Have you ever had a fic stolen?

I sure the fuck hope not. 

11. Have you ever had a fic translated?

I don't remember if this happened with a fic, but iirc I think someone translated that long ass DR meta I wrote about Ouma and Komaeda into...Russian? I don't remember very well. Also that meta is being majorly overhauled spoilers I guess.

12. Have you ever co-written a fic before?

Not for fic no. All my fic belong solely to me, as do my original works, and its what I prefer. I've done volunteer writing on other people's original projects however, even right now. @clusterfuck-au is something I work on with my friend Wren, but I do all the writing, and they do art stuff, so its not the same lmao.

13. What’s your all-time favorite ship?

Idk how I'm supposed to have one of these when I can't really pick a fandom over a fandom. So I'll just name some fandoms I like, and the ship I currently like the most for it.

Ace Attorney: narumitsu (there are a couple close runner ups tho)

Dangan Ronpa: komahina

AITSF: ryudate

Higurashi: keimii

Spy x Family: Twiyor

There are other I fandoms, and other ships, but it'd take forever so take these.

14. What’s a WIP that you want to finish but don’t think you ever will?

I HAVE SO FUCKING MANY MY GUY, AND I REALLY WANT TO FINISH THEM, BUT I HAVE NO IDEA WHEN IF EVER I'LL GET TO EM. HERE WE GO. I will not be including the WIP I'm working on right now! That's happening! fuck you @ self

The Long Way 'Round: This is supposed to be an extremely long narumitsu Ace fanfic about their relationship through the years from their time together in childhood to after Apollo Justice. I have a lot of thoughts and feelings about their relationship, its ups and downs, and the character development they undergo together and seperately. The fic would not feature anything actually shown in canon, and doesn't include DD or SoJ because I hate them and think they're bad and disowned them from canon. This fic is next on my list of things to work on.

Exoneration AU and the LCC rewrite: aus that only makes sense to anyone who has ever read the visual novel Chaos;Child and is in fandom (maybe 100 people) and ALSO is gay enough to ship Takuru, the main character of a bishoujo game, with Shinji (his token best friend). Also has to be gay enough to ship the girls together. also has to be based enough to think Kawahara deserved better and are mad about the writer's gaslighting. I'm not going to explain the plot of these any further; y'all aint gonna get it.

The Cries of Hope's Peak Academy: AKA, clusterfuck AU. What if I took the higurashi cast and put them in a pre-despair dangan ronpa setting (also the v3 kids are here too). Also. What if I shipped. Mion with Keiichi, Hinata, and Ikusaba, Keiichi with Ouma, Kamukura and Saihara, Ouma with Kamukura and Saihara, Kamukura with Komaeda, Komaeda with Hinata, and Hinata with Saihara. This is the titular clusterfuck; they are a polycule in progress. Its not even the only ship. The plot though is inspired by all that I wished Dangan Ronpa 3: Despair Arc was, with Enoshima taking advantage of vulnerable people via manipulation and HPA's inherent powderkeg, but with higurashi's thematic core.

Higurashi: When They Cry - Uso (Lies) and what would be its answer arc counterpart I haven't named yet: The other crossover fic. This one is just. What if I yeeted Ouma into the Higurashi setting like it was where he belonged. What would happen. It's Higurashi, so it borrows a lot from its overarching story and arc ideas, but every arc would be a unique twist based on the existence of a new guy in there! I still like this a lot. I still think of every character in dangan ronpa, Ouma feels the most like the one who would belong in Higurashi, and stands the most to gain from it.

The Klav/Seb enemies to lovers fic: it's exactly what it sounds like. I just think they have a lot in common but their themis years would absolutely be filled with PETTY beef because seb is a nepotism baby which pisses Klav off, and seb doesn't know he's a nepotism baby so he doesn't understand what the fuck his problem is. Also Apollo is there later. Klavier has 2 hands.

Pewter in a timeloop for aitsf and he gets a buddy cop dynamic with Iris on his looping quest to save renju. yeah that. that's the jist. also includes REHABILITATING THE OKIURA HOUSEHOLD AAAAAAA

I have some oneshots I haven't written yet, but those don't count. If you're aware of a long fic/series I was working on that isn't listed here....sorry but I think I've grown past those ideas.

I have two WIPs that are original, but I still work on those. They're both visual novel concepts I came up with, and they both mean everything in the world to me.

15. What are your writing strengths?

Fanfic specific strengths, I'm great at being in character. Translated more broadly, strong dialogue and internal narration coupled with actions and behaviors that reflect their emotional core.

I think my narration is at its best when it's just sitting inside some messy bitch's head and living out their entire thought process, and I think my background in poetry really adds to that. I like using line breaks and font sizes/alignments/effects to express intensity or disarray, etc. I do that for dialogue too. Also I'm pretty fucking funny in both places when I want to be. I think it adds to the charm, and I think my authorial voice adds to that.

Also tbh I'm so good at structuring and pacing frankly I think I'm a natural at it. I think my scenes are as long as they need to be, my stories hit every necessary beat, every scene and story ends and begins on the correct note, and readers learn things when they need to. Pacing and structure is not really something people think a lot about when they get asked this question, but I think it's the most important element to any story. If your pacing, your narrative structure is broken, no amount of metaphor and poetic description can save you.

16. What are your writing weaknesses?

God forbid I have to describe a physical thing. Forget it. Not actions per se (although sometimes yeah those too, but more like clothes, settings, sounds, smells, tastes--that's a real struggle. I always think its the weakest thing I have to offer, and a lot of my writing process is desperately trying to put the image in my brain into words that make sense and sound good. Definitely the biggest weakness I have no fucking contest holy shit.

Other smaller struggles is a tendency to overuse words like just/maybe/really/still/etc; the problem with having a strong voice is that some of the quirks from my way of TALKING don't actually add anything to narration or the dialogue, so I've been training myself to cut back and cut things out. It can lead to things being repetitive.

Also, while I believe I have a lot of killer ideas that slap 10/10, and I'm a very creative person, the ADHD makes it hard to keep working on ideas even when I love them. The smallest thing stumping me, or boring me, or just kind of draining my sole, can get me not writing for weeks. I guess this is an ADHD problem, but it affects writing, my one true love, and in some ways that makes it the real biggest issue.

17. What are your thoughts on writing dialogue in other languages in a fic?

I think it's fine depending on how you do it. If you put a note at the end translating all the lines in other languages, or fit the translation smoothly within the narrative, I think that's completely legal.

With that said, I do kinda cringe when instead of writing Japanese someone types out just. romaji. I get that you want your audience to know how to read it, but they're likely not to know what it means anyway even IN romaji, so just commit. Go for authenticity. You can put the pronunciation in your footnotes too.

18. What was the first fandom you wrote for?

Pokemon in my spiral notebook in 5th grade. It's still pokemon online cause I made an illegal ffn account and moved it there at age 11. You can't read it; I literally don't even remember what the account was.

19. What’s a fandom/ship you haven’t written for yet but want to?

Mmm....I guess spy x family? I haven't written full fic for it yet, and it'd be nice to. The list of ships is longer, and I'm not going to bother with that, but needless to say I have a lot of passions lmao.

20. What’s your favorite fic you’ve written?

The ryudate fic I'm revising right the fuck now. No, okay, that's illegal, it doesn't exist in full yet, although you can read its revised first chapter here <3. That said, I find this decision kind of hard, so I'll give you a few that I've finished: Yours, Le Chasseur et le Démon (The Hunter and the Fiend), A Rational Man, The "Death" of Prosecutor Miles Edgeworth and a fic for a Pandora Hearts zine that hasn't come out yet!

Um. I will tag. @generalherasyndulla, @queenshroorn, and anyone else who reads this whole thing and considers themselves a writer.

Finished!

And here's the time-lapse video because I'm bored lol. Also because I just really had fun with coloring this sketch. (It's because it's my favorite sketch of his fjdbe.)

I particularly loved just this part of the process because I needed the color of his scar so I got it from my Takaaki art. AND HE LOOKS SO DISTURBED BY IT THAT HE JUST STARTED CRYING 😭

New fic - another revamped piece of old writing. This is part one of a bunch of Mastermind AU concepts I had. I'll have another old one revamped and posted soon, but I also have a bunch more to write! I might turn some of the concepts into full stories too, if I like them enough.

Summary

Kokichi's proclivity for lying extends into something a little more supernatural. You could call him a human lie detector. Something in his brain just recognizes lies and deception. One day, he invites Shuichi to spend a little time with him. They have a brief conversation that flips Kokichi's entire world upside down. The game is on. But how do you win when no one's on your side?

Okay, so what about resident evil like atmosphere in despair era? And the concept of brainwashing too! I know there’s like no mind eating body destroying parasites in ronpa, but the idea of a some kind of “disease” that corrupts people’s minds and makes them reliant on one person (like in resident 4) still exists.

Oh and the body horror, and grim atmosphere…. Damn I would really like that AU.
