Y'know what? I feel like throwing myself to the wolves today.
Hello Danganronpa fandom! I would like to hear unbiased opinions, please. Emphasis on unbiased.
In my opinion, V3 was honestly one of the weaker games of the franchise. And our resident asshole (/lighthearted) of the game, Kokichi, is believe it or not, not a perfectly written character.
Please do not come onto this post calling me a dumbass that is falling for "propaganda." I know his plan was to end the killing game the whole time. The problem is that he doesn't have a solid motive to do so. At least not one that is clear to the viewers. His plan may have been to checkmate the mastermind, but his plan seems to fall apart when you realize he has no proof Monokuma would end the killing game. He’s doing this massive elaborate plan, assuming Monokuma won’t just pick a random person to execute so the game can continue. Because fundamentally, this game is unfair. Kokichi assuming Monokuma would play fair makes his plan just seem redundant, as well put together as it may have been. A buddy of mine posted a similar opinion a couple days ago and got absolutely dogpiled because she wasn't absolutely praising the hydrologic press that he was crushed in (too soon? Nah it's been four years it's fine). In fact, one of the points made above was one I directly copy pasted got from her in specific and I took so that you as the readers could hear her without her getting all the notifications. will not be stating any names out of my respect and care for this friend. But for the love of god, don't dogpile anyone for their opinions.
The purpose of this post is to hear outsider, completely unbiased opinions about Kokichi as a character. So when replying to this post, take those biases and lock them away in a safe. You don't need to throw them away entirely, just put them away until you hit the post button. Info dump to me and clearly point out what exactly his motive was, based entirely on the context clues of the game. What are things that are clear as day? What can be read in between the lines? Why did he want to end the killing game? What was his motive? If you think you know the motive, explain to me what I apparently missed and when it happened. Provide me proof and screenshots. Just all around make it make sense without using profanity and calling me an imbecile for not understanding something that was not written in a way that was clear. I dont not want those kinds of responses, as they really do not help. And as lightheartedly as possible, calling me names in the replies over something like this really doesn't provide me with a reason to take your word for it.
And hey! If you agree with me, I would also genuinely love to hear your personal take on the whole thing and what you think could've been done better with his character. What are your ideas? What do you think would've been really cool and interesting if it had been implemented?
I do not condone the way a lot of you handled my friend's post. So please do not talk to me the same way. Please come in to this post with the assumption that I have already completed the game and I already know what happened.
I humbly await for your perspectives.

Shout out to the 'fic writers who go for realism vibes with the Hermitcraft Season 9 rebellion plot and do not change the name Soup Group to something "more serious"; I fall for the vibes and get sucker-punched EVERY TIME and can't stop laughing

Howdy, y'all! So my wonderful mutual @raemeh did this really cool fanart of my royalty Swiftli au (the fic for which can be found here), and I had some little design ideas about them in my wips, so I thought I'd post the two of them here! Thank you so much to everyone who's enjoyed it <333

What is it that draws me to you (Patreon)
#Doodles#SCII#DAX#ZEX#In case you missed my DAXfic post lol - accompanying art! Have some images!#There is actually a set of speculation around VUX medals but I forgot to go look at it and now I forget where it is ahhhh#I'll find it again! I'm gonna look the heck out of it!!#The important shorthand being communicated here is that DAX only had one medal while ZEX has a few - little militia hehe#Which medals of theirs match and which are exclusive to ZEX's brilliance..... To DAX's specialties..............#Writing the fic is a bit of a blur now since I wrote it all in one night and was Very tired by the end of it lol#It's so ZEX-centric for being DAX's POV hehe <3 He loves ZEX! Can't take his eye off him ♪#But there was a lot of ZEX-study in there as well - specifically around his impulsivity and how that affects his work vs. social lives#Genius-level creative at problem-solving but socially inept <3 We love a problem/solution nail/hammer dichotomy hehe <3#Not every problem can be solved in the same way! How frustrating hehe#It did feel very indulgent to write a ''How did we get here'' to DAX calling ZEX ''sir'' rather than his name ahh#Not that I mind!!! It was fun <3 It's sweet <3 It really might as well be a pet name by this point hehe#The kind of intimacy that grows into itself - and yet context also matters so much!#Calling him Admiral (or whatever rank he's at - like when ZEX comes to congratulate him ah <3) /can/ be a distancing move#But also a show of respect and admiration - and ''sir'' can be the same! Signal of fealty over personal closeness hhahhahahhhhhghrhrhg#<Insane about them noises#Glad to have written it ♪ Even if it wasn't my intended fic for the month I'm glad it's here <3

“I’m supposed to feel better.”
Etho looked at him with tired eyes, the moon high above the two of them as the sat on the very edge of skynet. It was stupid, anyone could come up and push them off, but Impulse was sitting on a few hours and Etho-
Well, Etho didn’t seem to care.
He never did, which was something Impulse…admired? About the other man. He had grudges, Impulse was sure of it, but it wasn’t something Etho seemed to let eat at him. He was more of a one and done kind of guy.
Impulse had let this grudge fester for three games.
“What do you mean by that?” Impulse looked up, watching the way Etho raised his eyebrow with what sounded like a bit of judgment. He ignored it, because that was kind of how Etho sounded and because Skizz and Tango were dead. They all were. Tango, Skizz, Cleo.
Bdubs.
“I should feel better that I killed him.”
Etho hummed, nodding a bit before leaning back on his elbows. Impulse didn’t feel the need to expound on who he was talking about, it wasn’t a secret that he was holding on to that rage he felt from 3rd life. “And you don’t?” He finally prodded after it was clear Impulse was getting lost in his head.
Somewhere in the background Impulse could hear Grian and Pearl whispering too, probably about their tentative alliance and how to get Scott and Martyn. This really wasn’t the time for Impulse to be up in his feelings like this. Still, he let out a sigh deeper then he meant it to be, something that soothed his bones and made his heart ache. “I don’t. I feel bad.” Impulse glanced out of the corner of his eye as Etho stared up at the stars. “I shouldn’t feel bad. It’s just the game after all, I can’t be faulted that he went out like that but-”
“You can feel bad.” Etho interrupted him, never taking his eyes off the pitch black sky above him. “I’m sure he would love that you felt bad about killing him if he was still around.”
Impulse snorted, something bitter crawling up his throat. Etho was mumbling something under his breath that he didn’t catch either, but Etho was talking to himself a lot recently. He thought he might have heard him say something along the lines of “well Cleo, next time you survive with me, you can pick the allies.” but he wasn’t so sure. Whatever Etho thought he was seeing wasn’t Impulse’s problem, though it was a bit disheartening to see his only alive ally slipping fast. “Do you regret it?”
That made Impulse pause.
Etho hadn’t taken his eyes off the stars, but his mouth was turned slightly down now and his hands were curled tight. Did Impulse regret taking the final shot on Bdubs? He felt terrible, that's for sure. Bdubs, for whatever reason, trusted him throughout this game even though Impulse showed him time and time again it was a bad idea. It wasn’t like Impulse was hiding behind a smoke screen like the first time. He had been very clear that he wasn’t teamed with him, that they weren’t allies, weren’t sharing a home and a bed. But as soon as Impulse pushed the minecart, it was like his gut went with it. When the death message popped up, Impulse almost felt like vomiting. It was sick, it was twisted and cruel to have him go out in such a way where there was no way that he could have fought back.
But did he regret it?
“I…” Impulse finally looked up to where Etho was looking, the stars and the vast galaxy blinking back at him as he felt his hour turn over. “It wouldn’t be fair, if I regretted it now.” He finally settled on. Etho’s shoulders visibly relaxed at the comment. He didn’t say anything, but Impulse knew he was probably agreeing with him.
Bdubs was dead at Impulse’s hand for once in his life, and it would be a shame if he wasted what he earned because of it.

thinking about this art of Ahi again.
#bruhhhhhh and i finally get a lot of the symbolism. he told me bit by bit what to put in there#red=mental green=physical. From the mind and the impulses of god through the Sky is the manifestation of the grounded physical#the stars in the tendrils... he has lights that are eyes along his tendrils. stars are eyes. his expulsions are the milk that is space#i thinkkkk the white upwards triangle eye earrings are a Polarity thing. Oh! White! Lev's half of Polarity.#seven red hands. mental expressions of the hermetic cosmic laws. reaching... the mastery over the laws. the attraction - OH GRAVITY#ohhhh. Ahi is a hagfish... intake the mental. exhale the material. the milk... gravity pulling in the mind of god so it may be woven#insert the symbolism of the leviathan cross my twinflame wrote out... wasnt it about the manifestation of the body. well. ok#~abyssal murmurs#ahi //#love you ahi#ooo the colour positions on the arms... right arm is reaching through the sky. active transformation. the left. mental intake#receptivity. still passed through transformation of the Blue Sky#blue and black sky tendrils = manifestation of the sky#the literal sky as well as being Unspeakable. Unspoken. The Sky itself is unmanifest#partial veil over his head.... i dont know why lev and ahi wear hats and i presume thats the symbolism im missing#also dont know why the canine(?) skull mask#but probably a commentary on their manifestations being canine-coded. yeah. actually thats it. and its subjective. faces are subjective#to the lord of consciousness. you see what you invent in your head. i see him as canine

Just saw a bunch of comments from a rwby critic about how Blake should have spoke out more about racism in atlas (and Weiss too considering how she grew).
Aside from the fact that Weiss throwing racist in a trashcan is defenitely a statement (lol), and that I don't necessarily disagree because it could have been cool to see other more explicit scenes with Blake, using these wishes as objective critics misses a couple of points.
First, as usual we got the limited runtime to consider. When writing episodes you gotta balance serious and fun moments, all while making sure that the main plot stuff gets all the exposure it needs to tell its story properly and without missing pieces.
Second, even if there was time for that, do you really think that every time a victim of something gets in a situation somewhat connected to their past experiences, they just start monologuing about it? How realistic do you think it is?
It depends on the situation. When Blake and co get in the mines they are on the job looking for grimm, do you think this would have been the best moment for a racism speech? Would YOU do that? It's just very unnatural. But we still get her behavior and body language. She doesn't talk about it but she thinks about it, as she should. And it's very clear, so I really don't get when people say she just ignored it.
Blake isn't constantly worried about it sure, but again not even the busiest activist spends 100% of their time about their cause.
Besides, friendly reminder that the show isn't about the faunus racism. It is part of it and the world, but the main story isn't that, so a constant focus on it just doesn't make sense (now, if it was a show ABOUT racism, that would have been different).
I understand some points because, yes, we all know that the whole white fang subplot could have been better (even if I am personally okay enough with it) and yes, Atlas had potential to bring out a few more comments about it and it would have been cool to see Blake talk about it more.
But it's not the fatal flaw critics make it to be, nor it's completely unmentioned as they like to say (Marrow referencing it? Blake's behavior at the mines? People's comments both before and during the evacuation? The "no faunus" sign in Cinder's flashback?). They just aren't paying attention.

“He’s here! He has to be!”
The chase led all the way to the Crystal Tower. The streets thankfully barren. “Please Mosha! Listen to me!” By the time Lovette catches up, they are already in the ocular. She grabs Mosha from behind and apologizes, all the while trying to calm her down.
The Exarch is there, stunned by the sudden intrusion. Mosha stills at the sight of him. Lovette mistakes it for her being calm and lets go with another apology on her lips. But the apology quickly turns into a gasp when she sees Mosha throw herself at the Exarch, arms wrapped tightly around him.
She is whispering to him. Lovette can only watch as her dear friend has her heart shattered.
‘You’re him aren’t you? It’s you G’raha isn’t it?’
The Exarch is silent for too long. ‘I am sorry. I am not’

I thought I was done being feral about Tamagotchis but no, it was just a lull
#I was already interested in getting a Gotchi for the past couple months and then KKClue dropped that video (praise be)#And Then I learned that there was a cheap way of purchasing legit Japanese Gotchis?? I may uh. Have. Purchased a few#I never really had That Moment as a kid or teen of being impulsive with money - I'd either save it up and get one big thing#Or I'd buy little things until I eventually ran out - and that habit has kinda continued into adulthood lol#Nowadays the one big thing is usually something like a new computer when my old one dies but it certainly is a big thing lol#And I like getting little things like my puzzle cubes <3 But I'm fairly miserly!#Well. Until.#I've finally hit The Phase of impulsive purchases because of a perfect storm of Things Happening lol#I first wrote down that I wanted to start looking for Tamagotchis in March of this year and I was going about it rather casually to start#Just looking around Big Box stores to check pricing - then various toy and vintage stores to see if they had stock#Most of them didn't but I did get in some delightful networking :D I want to go back and continue!#I finally broke down a week ago and checked Amazon for the ''custom'' shell designs because I like the galaxy one hehe#And then - that accursed video (affectionate)#I may have watched it five times so far lol and then actually bit the bullet and checked out the sponsor and Fucking Hell#I can never get into gambling this does absolutely wack shit to my brain it's only half about the Gotchis themselves anymore#That said I am very excited for my Mesutchi to arrive! I really want to get an Osutchi to go with her and a Gen 1 and and and#I want to collect all the Angelgotchs so bad you don't understand I Must Have them in all the colours it's very important#I'm even considering doing some kind of Project with them once they arrive I don't know it's just all so exciting#I'm feeling very normal#Oh yeah and barely related other than IRL silliness - I finally got a haircut! :D#It'll take a bit for my sona to update but it was today!

The interview with this fantastic quote
"I feel very proud to be a black Creole vampire, in the show. I mean, I hope that all it does is opens the gates for more. Let's tell more stories. Let's be monsters! And enjoy it! Yeah, let's be problematic. Give us the space to be a problem." - Jacob Anderson
