That last post with Kaz and Ibuki is so cute.

Fun fact, according to the 4koma Gundam is one of the only characters capable of eating Ibuki’s food.

(The reason being that his mother was a terrible cook but he still ate it because he loves her and that allowed him to build up a resistance to weird food)

witnessing the true strength of an overlord

hmrc can BITE ME etsy can BITE MEEEEE

[despairs-memorial]

Even with Kazuichi's penchant for utterly forgetting to exist some days, it might have been a surprise that Gundham's birthday of all days was yet another where he was scarce to be seen. Or at least it would have been if he hadn't already taken such a day into account. Instead of disappearing when he would be noticed as being gone, Kaz instead chose to work through the night to finish his partner's gift on time as well as without the risk of him spoiling the surprise.

He might be exhausted as all hell as he bounced up to Gundham only moments after the breeder had left his room, but it would be so very worth it to see his face once he opened the shoddily wrapped box that had been thrust into his hands. "Happy birthday!!" Even with circles under his eyes dark enough to match the smear of grease across his cheek, Kazuichi still managed to beam as bright as the rising sun while rocking from heel to toe. "I know what you're gonna say, but you can yell at me for the all-nighter after you open your present!"

Said present would reveal itself to be four carefully crafted toy hamsters, each one polished and painted into a near spitting image of the Devas. "Cool right?? They'll even walk too!! Just wind up that key and off they'll go!!" Was he a touch delirious with fatigue? Of course, but that was hardly enough to dim his excitement. //YEETS this @ u before i eep so i dont forget lol

With how close he was to the mechanic nowadays, Gundham was more than aware of how little Kazuichi was aware of any day aside from a hard deadline that could end with him getting hurt by the person that was requesting his expertise. However, the fact that Kazuichi was the one to remember his birthday sooner than he did though, the sight of him so exhausted made him worry for a moment, even if the sight of him so happy was enough to make him blush slightly. 

Reaching out to wipe off some of the grease before taking the box. “Indeed, I should scold you for your negligence towards your own well-being, however since your goal was to prepare an offering for the occasion of my birth… Perhaps I can allow some leniency for a change.” That perhaps quickly turned into a definitely, though, as he looked in the box. 

Eyes sparkling as he looked at the toys, there was a childlike wonder as he looked at the little toys of the devas. Given that he had never had a toy before (his mother never having the spare money for it), getting one now… well, he could certainly enjoy it far more than he would have a kid, especially since they were modeled after his beloved companions. 

Blinking a bit, Gundham could feel his heart swell a bit as a grin spread across his face. “Cool is merely one term that could describe them. Sublime is how I would put them. Once more, you have rendered even one as powerful as I utterly enthralled by your peerless skills with you employed to create this offering for me. Truly, you are the only one that could know the gift that would move my heart.” He was certainly going to spend quite a bit of time playing with these and seeing how amused his devas were going to be by them… though first. 

“While I shall take quite some time to see how my greatest minions will enjoy these, come. You may take your rest in my lair,” he says as though Kazuichi didn’t do that nearly every night for quite some time now. Either way, he was going to really enjoy the sight of him finally getting some rest.

despite how much WOL art i make i still have the ''I NEED TO DRAW 14 ART'' crave in my gut like i need to draw canon scenes and canon characters and such. it is disgusting how much this game motivates me to pick up a pencil and write or draw NOTHING has ever pushed me like this

[the-ultimate-muses]

@not-bcring editorrrrr (X)

"Of course you were not scared, how silly a notion that would be." It was said matter-of-factly, a scoff heard in the breeder's voice as he busied himself with freeing another Deva. "Beings such as us do not feel fear. Others may have seen it as such, but you know very well I saw it for what it was: disgust that a mortal such as that believed themselves worthy of laying a hand on the Son of Loki. No wonder you retreated with the haste of Hermes at their sudden touch." A lie to cover up a truth, a truth to cover up a lie; a familiar dance of theatrics when it came to the Overlord of Ice and the Supreme Leader of Evil.

"We will have to enact our revenge at a later time, once your earthy vessel has recovered from such a slight against it." Another Deva sent Kokichi's way at that, San-D scurrying to the leaders side while Gundham searched for Jum-P about his person. "I...hm...apologies, my consort, but I...appear unable to locate the final talisman required for your recovery..." Meaning he couldn't find the last little hamster anywhere on his person to send the little leader's way. "Has he already made his way to you? Or...perhaps the Tamer of Automatons has borrowed his power this day?"

TAKE A GUESS ⸺ Haerin x reader

Asking your supposed enemy who she has a crush on

GENRE ⸺ Fluff, enemies to lovers (ish)

WARNINGS ⸺ short, I’ll make like three short posts while I’m actually writing something long :P, wrote this at like 3am so it’s barely proofread, saw an imagine on Pinterest and decided to do it, so just the idea isn’t mine but lowk the entire plotting is :D, wrote on an app called notion I think (a friend recommended) so that’s why there are spaces TT

WC ⸺ 1.3K

You’re going to be honest. Haerin was really intimidating. Everything about her just screams “don’t talk to me or I’ll kill you”. Her face, her eyes, her glares, the way she talks, literally every single thing about her.

She talks to absolutely no one but you. She’s more playful, sweeter, annoying and teasing towards you.

Everyone including you has no idea how and why she started to talk to you.

One time when another school came to your school just for a basketball match, rumors spread that Haerin liked someone from the opposite school leaving everyone in curiosity and thought. But they knew they could never get their answers, no way they were going to walk up to Haerin and asks one of the most irrelevant questions. She’d probably scream or death glare at them. Right now their only option is you.

It was a normal afternoon, you remained in the library to observe break. Drowning yourself in a bunch of novels. Until a person tapped you on the shoulder.

You looked up to see a familiar girl from one of your classes. A small smile plastered on your face so as not to come off as rude or anything like that.

She looked down, embarrassed of what she was about to say next. “Hey umm yn This may seem weird to ask but could you kindly please ask Haerin if the rumors are true? The one about her liking someone from the other school?” She requested shyly.

“Please….you’re the only one she likes, the only one she talks to” she pleaded after seeing your raised eyebrow.

“The only one she likes?! Girl she lowkey hates me“

“But fine whatevs, I’ll ask her about it” you added shutting the Novel that was placed between your palms shut.

“Thank you thank you thank you so much” she thanked a hint of excitement in her tone.

“Yeah” you shortly responded, making your way out of the library to find Haerin.

You were about to go searching round the school until you remembered her favorite spot. The rooftop.

Of course it was her favorite spot in the whole school. She was short from people, short from human interactions.

Just as you thought, you saw Haerin standing by the railings staring down at the others who observed their break; eating, giggling and chatting away.

Moving closed to her, you gave her shoulders a light tap until she whipped her head around to see you.

“What’d you want?” She asked her tone not very welcoming but much rather hostile. It was no big deal since you were pretty much used to it.

“Hey umm I know this may come off as weird, what am I even saying it’s weird but like a girl asked me to ask you if the rumors are accurate you like someone from the other school. You know the school that joined ours during the basketball game that time.” You explained waiting with anticipation for what she was about to say next.

She scoffed looking at you like you had just said the dumbest thing ever. “What are you saying? You’re in my class” she briefly responded turning back to stare down at people.

“Huh? Wait what? What am I supposed to do with this?? That literally just has nothing to do with all this, come on just tell me yes or no?” you demanded but all you got in response was a shrug.

“I’m not telling you, take a guess from the hint”

A small scoffed escaped your lips. You were almost on the verge of smacking her head. What does this all have to do with you? You’re in her class, yes you can totally see that.

Without asking too much you left the roof top now on another mission to find the girl.

It was as if the girl was spying on you because the next thing you knew you got jump scared by her on your way down the staircase.

“Oh my I’m so sorry for the sudden jump scare” she apologized scratching the back of her head sheepishly.

“So what did she say? Is it a yes or no? Did she even answer? Did she leave you on a cliff hanger?” She babbled not taking breaks.

“Yes she did leave me on a cliffhanger”

“You mean she didn’t tell you if she did or not?” The girl asked raising an eyebrow.

“Not that she didn’t tell me, all she said was and I quote. ‘What are you saying? You’re in my class’ “ you repeated the words from earlier.

“Wait what’s that supposed to mea— wait you don’t get that?!” The girl asked her eyes widening in shock.

“Duh”

“You’re literally so dense” she added shaking her head before waking off.

“Umm that’s rude of you to also put me on a cliffhanger you know?!!” You yelled from up the staircase hoping she’d hear from wherever she is.

Everything seemed irritating to you maybe because you still didn’t understand what Haerin and the other girl meant earlier.

“You’re in my class, you’re….in….my…class” you repeated the words slowly analyzing each words.

“You’re, me, in, my, her, class…. This whole shit if confusing!” You ruffled your hair in frustration constantly playing the memory from the roof top again.

And then it clicked. “YOU ARE IN HER CLASS!!” You gasped quietly. “I’m the person she likes!!” you mumbled to yourself.

After finally understanding the statement, you find yourself growing more and more impatient as the last period seemed to be taking forever.

Finally it came to an end, Haerin had dashed out of the class before you knew it.

You fumbled with the zip of your bag, darting your eyes to the door, praying you won’t loose sight of the girl.

After successfully packing your bags you rushed out of the class, stumbling and bumping into people on the way.

You dashed out of the school glancing around once you thought you’ve lost sight of Haerin until you saw her by the sidewalk with her headphones plugged in.

You finally caught up to her, tapping her on the shoulders to get her attention. She turned around slowly removing her headphones. “Yeah?”

“Wait…. What you said earlier—“

“I thought I told you I’m not giving you any more hint”

“Yeah I know, I just wanted to know if it was true or not” you asked biting the inside of your cheeks.

“What do you think? Of course it was!” She stated turning to face front, walking away from you.

You sighed in frustration catching up to her again. This time stopping her by holding her arm stopping her in her tracks.

“I thought I already told you—“

“So does this mean we’re together?” You asked softly looking her in her eyes. “Like you’re my girlfriend now?” You added.

A hint of softness and warmth could be seen in her eyes. She was a bit confused at first but when realization hits, she blushed a bit at your statement. “So you like me back?” She asked confirming just to be sure.

You nodded smiling at her.

Before you could even move she pulled you closer, drawing you into a really tight hug. “Yes it means you’re my girlfriend”

She pulled away noticing someone from the same school as the both of you standing behind you with a bouquet of flowers and chocolates, a blush spread across his face.

“YN these are for you…I’ve liked you for a really long time now… would you be my—“

“Ah ah ah! She’s not straight, plus she’s my girlfriend so back off!” She scowled judging the boy up and down.

The boy nodded running away in embarrassment earning a satisfied smirk from Haerin. “Just as I thought”

Gundham Tanaka dating headcannons

Notes; I'm writing this when I have 6 other drafts of other fics goin' on, let's completely discard that, though. The reader's ultimate is the ultimate artist, and this isn't a killing game type thing, just the island life type deal. This is also like, a headcannon/oneshot kinda deal I think.

Extra notes; This is a friends to lovers deal, slow burn style😘 (also, fem reader, sorry :(

Warnings; Foul language (though I don't think there'll be a lot)

╔⊶⊶⊶⊶⊶⊶⊶✞⊷⊷⊶⊶⊶⊷⊷╗

-Just like he was with everyone else when meeting them, you should expect him to be a little "weird" at first. Regardless of that, you continue to talk to him, you found him interesting, almost like there was some sort of "aura" that pulled you in.

-And when he shows his Devas, you go absolutely feral. Well.. maybe not feral, but definitely a mix of happy, and surprised, exactly how most of the other characters reacted, but either more than that or less, depending on you of course.

~ "Do you have anything that kinda, I don't know, like, 'helps you' in using your ultimate? Books and stuff I guess?" You ask, putting your sketchbook back into your messenger bag.

"Kehehe, that would be useless! Behold! The four dark devas of destruction! Fuahahahaha!" Gundham says as his devas pop out from his scarf.

"Oh my gosh they're hamsters! They're so cute! Do they have names?"

"Cute? How dare you! And hamsters are only their temporary forms! This is Maga-z, San-D, Chum-P, and Jum-P! Keep your distance, for they are dangerous to mere mortals." Gundham says dramatically.

"Well, I guess it's a good thing that I'm not just some "mere mortal" huh? Oh, wait hold on. I think I have something in my bag." You say as you search through your bag. Finally fishing out a pack of sunflower seeds, you place a few in your hand. "There! Do you want these for them? I'll be honest I don't really think I'll end up eating these. You could have them as it'll definitely go to much better use." You motion for him to open his hand, then putting the loose sunflower seeds into his palm.

"T-thank you.."

-After that interaction I feel like you wouldn't leave him alone. Clingy, yes. But to have the opportunity to sketch his "Dark devas of destruction" as he said, you'd do anything.

-Creepily enough, being the ultimate artist, you'd probably try to seek him out due to him always having the devas.

-Yes, yes. It's not exactly a good thing to do, but you were so desperate. But maybe if you just asked him, it might've been a little easier.

-So that's exactly what you did.

~ You took out your e-book and flipped through the different areas, finally finding Gundham's little character pinned at the front of the hotel entrance.

You make your way there and spot him, finding him with his devas in his hands as he looks at them.

"Hey, Gundham." You say softly as to not startle him.

Gundham looks up from his devas to turn his head in your direction.

"Ah, Y/n!" Gundham says, putting the devas on his shoulder.

"Hey, I was wondering, and of course if you don't want to it's fine, but do you think I could sketch your devas? I'll give the drawings to you, I just.. need something else to draw other than the scenery of this place. It's all the exact same, there's no difference in my art no matter what and it's making me go insane!" You clear your throat and apologize for the change in volume.

"You want to draw my Dark Devas of Destruction? Do you think you'll have the power to be in such close proximity with them, mere mortal?" Gundham says dramatically.

"I believe I do, Gundham. And if I don't, then you shall watch me perish."

You had began talking to him in the same eccentric way he does. Thinking maybe he might understand more? Or maybe even go from calling you just a 'mere mortal' to something less.. hurtful?

"Hmm, I see. Very well then. And where do you wish to do this?"

-You just spend most of your free time with him and his Devas sitting in your room together. Maybe you have a little pile of sunflower or pumpkin seeds in a small bowl to keep them from going hungry.

-He's like, looking at you in this absolute awe at you wanting to draw *HIS* dark devas.

-He's a little anxious at what "dark magic" you might be putting on them when sketching them, almost like a voodoo doll.

-Is relieved when you hand the sketches to him and tell him to keep them.

-He probably hangs them up somewhere in his room. Kinda like how a proud parent would with a kids drawing on their fridge.

-You try to gather small picnics or even just hangouts with him, and while it definitely takes a while for him to finally let you, you start drawing him, too.

-It could just be some quick sketches you do while he's telling one of his stories about some great overlord he defeated or another one of his great tales without him knowing, or with him posing knowingly.

-He's just.. so much fun to draw.

-"...the thing was foolish to believe it could defeat me; Gundham Tanaka! Fuahahaha!" Gundham says dramatically.

Gundham and you were sitting in his cottage just hanging out as he told you one of his many entertaining tales.

He sat on his rocking chair, holding Maga-z in his hands as he fed him an assortment of seeds carefully, a soft smile on his face.

When he was telling these stories he was typically so into them that he wouldn't pay any attention to anything else, with the exception of any of the Devas he might have with him too, of course. So it was very easy to draw him without him knowing.

The nice thing about him not knowing was that he looked a lot less anxious, a lot more natural, and didn't have the same serious look that painted his face every time you asked him to pose for you. Right now he looked so happy.

"What are you doing?"

You look up from your sketchpad at Gundham who had now gotten up from his chair, crossing his arms with Maga-z now on his shoulder.

"Aw, you moved.." You say with a pout on your face. "I was drawing you, until you moved. I think I could still finish it, though." You sigh.

"Hmm.."

You could see a pink blush dust his pale, grey complexion. More obvious then he might think.

-You obviously show him all of the drawings you did of him and the devas in your sketchbook.

-He absolutely adores when you do this, it makes him feel special and.. warm..?

-You'll show him some of the other stuff you have in your book, too.

-Some of it is scenery. Maybe flowers or some random stuff you find on the island, but most of it is other people on the island.

-When I say most of it is other people, I mean like, literally only 4 others. Your drawings of Gundham and the devas take up most of it.

-Not gonna lie, he got a little upset when he saw a sketch of Kazuichi working on something on one of the pages.

-I dunno, they like, got a small mutual dislike for eachother. Unnecessary beef.

-He didn't say anything about it, but you could tell he was *very* obviously grumpy the rest of the day.

-Maybe particularly snappy with Kazuichi when he came across him, too?

-He has absolutely no clue why either. Brushes it off as Kazuichi just being an annoying individual.

-He's just a little right about that in general, but that's to be left unsaid. Also, emphasis on "little bit".

-At this point, the both of you are practically with each other constantly. You'll eat lunch together sometimes, walk around the islands together, and obviously just hang out inside of each other's rooms, just enjoying each other's company.

-Maybe if you're lucky or if you try hard enough, you'll get him to hang out with you and others.

-Maybe at one of the beaches, another one of the parties/gatherings, or even the amusement park!

-Though he'll be a big baby about the coaster, no matter how much he says "It's nothing compared to the many brawls I've had", so please hold his hand..

-"Aww yeah! I'm getting pumped up now! C'mon, c'mon, get on faster guys!" Akane says excitedly.

Everyone had gone to the 3rd island to go to the amusement park, and then after we could go to the beach. All Sonia's idea, and of course Kazuichi couldn't say no, then neither could Nagito, then Mahiru, then Himiko, and the rest of it was all just a domino effect. Though, a good amount of it was because of Byakuya being bossy and demanding that everyone else be part of it.

And there everyone was. Nothing else in the park was any good other than the roller coaster, so that was the first thing everyone went to. We'd probably only go on a few rides until a few people began to get sick.

"NO WAY! I'M NOT GOING ON THAT THING, I'M STAYING HERE!" Kazuichi screams.

Man, you'd think for a guy that presents himself as such a "manly" guy, he would at least be good to go on amusement rides.. how.. sad..?

"Quit being a big baby! Get on the damn thing already. It's not like it's going to kill you." You tell Kazuichi.

"Yeah! Your holding everything up, you're a man, by the way, remember? You're supposed to be able to handle these things, you know?"

"NO WAY, MAN!"

You pinch the bridge of your nose and rub your face.

Some shouts and pleas from Kazuichi and laughs from Nekomaru grab your interest and you look up, only to see Kazuichi being picked up and forced onto the ride by Nekomaru.

You laugh to yourself at the scene as other people do the same.

Others had begun to take up some of the carts, Nekomaru standing aside, waiting. Assumingly because of his stature, that he didn't want to block or cause any problems for anyone who would be behind him.

You look up to your right at Gundham, who seemed more pale than usual (which was surprisingly possible), a look of worry or possible fear apparent on his face.

"Hey, are you okay, Gundham?" You ask, placing a hand on his arm.

He flinches slightly at your touch. "Ha! What makes you think I am not?" Gundham replies, his voice shaking ever so slightly.

"I don't know, you look a little pale. Are you scared to go on?"

"I think he's always that pale, Y/n.." Mahiru says.

Gundham pauses for a second.

"Fuahahahaha! I am Gundham Tanaka! To think I fear anything makes you a fool. This mere machine is nothing compared to the many hounds and demons I have fought and defeated."

You look at him and let go of his arm, turning away to walk into one of the carts.

"Alright then, come on in if you're so tough." You pat the seat next to yours.

"Is that a challenge?" Gundham asks, getting on and sitting next to you.

Before you could respond, the ride immediately takes off.

It was definitely faster than any of the other rides you'd ever been on, but hell was it fun.

"Yaaaaaaahoooooo!" Akane shouts in joy.

Screams from Kazuichi made it more then obvious that he wasn't having fun.

"I'm gonna die...I'm gonna diiiiiiiiiiie!"

"Tch...! What overwhelming g-force!"

You smile widely and lift your hands up, making it give that thrill that you feel you'd fly out.

"Be still...my heart!"

You look over to Gundham, his face even more pale then when we were originally first getting onto the ride. He was gripping onto the railings as hard as he could and looked like he was going to pass out.

"But.. this is fun!" Sonia exclaims.

You giggle to yourself and pull your arms down, placing one of them on top of Gundham's hand.

You felt a little bad for laughing, but to see him scared was definitely a rare sight you'd never let go of. You made sure to take a mental picture of it.

The rest of the ride was filled with Kazuichi's screams and pleas to "kill him", shouts of joy from Akane, and some other shouts from others, including yourself.

Gundham remained and kept that same look of fear on his face.

Man, you're really hoping that this thing takes photos. Maybe Mahiru can make copies, or Monomi, maybe that rabbit could prove to be useful.

After the ride was over and came to a stop everyone got out of their carts.

"Hey, hey! Let's go on one more time!" Akane says excitedly.

"I agree! Once more!"

"I vouch for that, too! Let's go again!" You say, agreeing with Akane and Sonia.

"No! No friggin' way!!!" Kazuichi screams.

Teruteru looks around and agrees with Kazuichi, as well as Hajime.

Gundham grips your hand and looks at Hajime. "I..I agree. My Devas tell me it was intense and far from enjoyable.."

"You took the hamsters with you!?" Fuyuhiko says in shock.

"Devas!" Both you and Gundham say in unison, correcting Fuyuhiko.

Everyone looked at eachother and began to whisper, which was quickly interrupted by Sonia.

"Alright then! Shall we go to the beach, now?" Sonia says clasping her hands, a large smile on her face.

-Honest, Gundham doesn't even realise he's holding your hand up until you arrive at your cottage so that you can retrieve and change into your bathing suit.

-Doesn't let go until you're going to change and you have to tell him to let go so you could change.

-Poor guy is so flustered and embarrassed when you tell him.

-You and Gundham walked to the main island so that you can both go to your cottages to get your bathing suits, still hand and hand the whole time.

-You didn't dare let go, it was..enjoyable.

-You arrive at your cottage and retrieve your keys from your pocket. Unlocking and opening your door with one hand was just a bit harder then you'd think. Like trying to turn the door handle without dropping your key directly onto the floor where it could've fallen through the crack of the dock.

Walking into your room you go into your top drawer and grab your bathing suit, which had just conveniently been the drawer where all of your undergarments were held.

Your cheeks quickly flushed in embarrassment.

You walk to your bathroom, hands still interlocked with Gundham. Now this was just a little over the top.

"Uh, Gundham. You're still holding my hand and I gotta change, man.." You say, looking down at your hands and then back up at him with an awkward smile on your face.

"Hmm...?" Gundham makes a hum in confusion before looking down and realizing that he was in fact, holding your hand.

He quickly lets go and profusely apologizes more times than would be necessary, stumbling over his own words and trying to explain he hadn't known, EVERYTHING.

He was clearly flustered, and you felt bad but man did he look cute like that and with such an obvious blush on his pale face.

"Gundham, it's okay, don't worry. I don't mind, I just think it would've been a bit bold for you to walk into the bathroom with me when I needed to change, don't 'cha think?" You joke, trying to calm him down.

It only made it worse.

More apologies, and then he left your cottage in a rush, tripping over the end of your rug on the way out.

He's so awkward sometimes, but that's what makes him all the more interesting to be around or to be friends with in general.

Silly.

-It took him a while to show up at the beach.

-I feel like he'd be embarrassed/flustered for a while and it takes him time to get decently calmed down from it.

-He's real upset when he walks to your cottage to find that you've already left for the beach.

-He's like a sad puppy.

-Tries to walk as quickly as he can to see if he could catch up to you. Couldn't. You'd already made it long before so now he's even more upset.

-I feel that because he sorta isolates himself, once he finds someone he actually enjoys being around he gets like, real clingy.

-I'm totally not making that a headcannon because I do that..

-"Where's Gundham? That guy's constantly attached to you, it's kinda weird not seeing you two together." Kazuichi asks you, taking the volleyball from your hands.

"He was getting changed when I left. I'm pretty sure that he'll be here anytime soon."

You felt pretty bad for just leaving him, and you did wait by his door for a while, you really did! But after 15 minutes of not even hearing any sort of movement in his cottage other than the wheel that was in the Devas' cage making noise.

You talked to Sonia and Mahiru while you waited for him. It was mostly you and Mahiru doing the talking due to your similarities in ultimates, just as you always did.

"You'll have to take some pictures for me so I can draw them! I love drawing scenery with birds and bugs and such, but they don't stay still so it's never how it originally looked. Not as beautiful." You exclaim, presenting an idea to Mahiru.

"That actually sounds like a great idea, Y/n! We should do trades! I can take the picture, you draw it, and we'll trade some of them!" Mahiru seemed just as excited about the idea as you did.

You suddenly hear a gasp of what seemed to be excitment from Sonia from next to you.

"What? Are you alright Sonia?" You place a hand on her shoulder.

"There's your boyfriend, Y/n." Hiyoko says from behind you, snickering.

You look back at her then ahead to see a grumpy looking Gundham.

You now blush at the comment. Realizing what she was implying.

"He's not my boyfriend." You grumble at her.

You take your hand off of Sonia's shoulder and walk to Gundham.

He was in swimming trunks and still wearing his purple scarf. Some of the others found it odd, but where else would he keep the Devas?

"You okay, Gundham? You look upset, did something happen?" You say with a worried look on your face.

Gundham's face softens upon seeing you and he sits down on the sand.

"No, everything is great!" Gundham exclaims.

"Well, if everything is great with you, then I'm great too!" You smile.

-You literally spend 20 minutes just to build a small "castle" (a sorry excuse for one at that)

-Gundham has already made a big ass castle, stong and large enough to allow the Devas to run around on.

-You are BAFFLED because how the fuck did he do that so quick.

-One of his many talents.

-You give up and go back with Sonia.

-He just kinda does his own thing and makes his sandcastles while you go back to playing volleyball. He doesn't mind, he likes seeing you happy, but sometimes he can't help but feel a little jealous.

-Mahiru is definitely the first to know about your "little" crush. She knows before you do somehow. I feel like she could read people really well, especially when she knows them real well.

-Now, if you think any of Mahiru's small teases are embarrassingly bad, wait until Hiyoko gets an idea of it...

-She's relentless regardless, and making fun of someone is real EXTREMELY easy for her. So expect *loud* teases so everyone else around can hear.

-Anyone that hangs around with Gundham, or even just comes across him with the small chance that he's not with you, will 100% RELENTLESSLY tease him.

-"Why aren't you with your girlfriend?", "How's the relationship with Y/n going?", "Have you guys, y'know.. done anything?" <-*cough* that is definitely a Teruteru thing to say.

-I feel like one of them would try and play matchmaker, though miserably failing.

-Now, while some of the people on the island might kinda think Gundham is.. odd.. they'll still try to talk him into saying SOMETHING just so they can get rid of yours and Gundham's whining, though I'd feel Gundham would somehow be better at hiding it?

-Skipping to the *good part*, you're definitely the one to confess.

-This guy thinks he's hot shit but in reality he's TERRIFIED of saying anything about his feelings. In his head he's terrified that you'll never talk to him again. He just doesn't want to lose his one friend that cares so much for him like no one else has.

-If you thought Gundham was blushing like a madman when you two were holding hands, he's blushing even *harder* once you tell him. Same stammering mess, of course.

-You stare at Gundham, far longer than you would like to admit, completely disregarding the drawing you were originally doing of him reading one of his books 10 minutes ago.

Though he had a hardened look on his face, he still had some sort of softness due to him remembering that he was in your presence when no one else would.

He looks away from his book for a moment, just having finished the chapter he was on to glance at you, only to be met with you looking at him as well.

He looks away quickly, telling himself that you were just looking at him to get some sort of reference for your drawing, now suddenly turning red.

He buried his face into his scarf and busied himself with Jum-p, who had just come out onto his shoulder.

You smile to yourself, "Gundham..?"

"Hmm?"

"Can I tell you something? And you can't tell anyone else this either," You adjust your position, placing your sketchbook and pencil onto the floor of his room.

"Of course, Y/n,"

That's one thing you loved most about being this close with Gundham. He only ever talked so softly like that to you, and you only.

"I'm in love with you."

You knew that you'd grown more than fond of him for a while, but you didn't know what the funny feeling he gave you was until just two weeks ago, and after realising, it was all you thought about and it drove you insane to the point where you knew you had to say something.

Gundham's brain short circuited and he stared at you for what felt like ages to you, and it was making you nervous for his response, but his heart was practically beating out of his chest and if you were close enough you swear you could hear it loud and clear.

Of course he didn't mean to do this, but he couldn't believe that someone like you would let alone be his friend, but also fall in love him.

"Please say something," you say nervously.

Gundham could only nod, not too sure if that could be considered a response for something, as he was still unable to talk purely out of shock.

You were unsure if that single nod was a good thing, though the devas made it clear that it was.

They all crawled up your arms to sit on your shoulders and began to give you small "pecks" on your cheek. This only caused Gundham to become more red, which was surprisingly possible.

"I– I too, feel the same way," Gundham says, clearing his throat as if he were playing off his previous shortout.

You smile before walking up to Gundham, the four devas still on your shoulders, and give him a hug.

He tenses for a second, then remembers how fondly you feel of him, and he quickly relaxes, returning to embrace.

"I love you," You whisper.

"I love you too.." he replies, an awkward yet soft tone appearant in the way he says it.

You place a small peck on his cheek.

-It takes the two of you a while to show any PDA, but hand holding is as far as you'll go.

-He's a pretty shy guy. Like I said before, he thinks he's hot shit but in reality he's really terrified to show any PDA or relationship-y stuff like that.

-Honestly, being that, the relationship was more secret and whoever found out, found out purely out of a guess or by someone else saying something.

-Being that most of everyone kind of teased the both of you about the whole "relationship" thing before you guys became a thing, it takes them a while to figure it out that the two of you are together.

-"Pfft, who are you waiting for, your boyfriend," Hiyoko teases.

You were waiting outside of the Rocketpunch Market for Gundham to get some seeds before going to the beach with everyone else, and Hiyoko happened to get some of her gummy bears. She caught you waiting outside for some time and figured that you were waiting for Gundham after she saw him in there.

You stayed quiet and looked down at her for a moment before going back to your sketchpad.

"You're weird. No wonder you two weirdos get along with eachother,"

"Be nice, Hiyoko! Hi, Y/n! How are you today? Are you going down to the beach, too?" Mahiru asks after scolding Hiyoko.

"Hello, Mahiru! I'm doing well, just waiting for Gundham. He's picking up some sunflower seeds. I think I might go down but I was planning on hanging out with him instead," You respond as you wave at her.

Mahiru smiles and gives you a look.

"What?"

"Nothing," Mahiru says, walking away with Hiyoko, "I'll see you later, Y/n! Have fun and tell Gundham I said hi."

-As I said, the two of you just wait it out and if people find out, they find out. No use denying it with how close you'd been before, and how much closer you are now.

-Once Gundham and you get more comfortable than before, and after everybody has already found out (or most), you might get more comfy with slight PDA.

-It's much nicer now that you two are together because either of you have no suppressed feelings.

-I've got nothing else other than he's real sweet. I dunno man.

This shit was so much fun to write, honest. I have no clue how many words this is but it is LONG. Hope you enjoyed😋

[noxiatoxia]

Sorry for the jankiness in this, I had to control both my Vita and PC at the same time, but here is a comparison! On the left, my fantranslation, and on the right, the official translation.

If you're wondering what this is all about, I'm working on a patch (at least of the prologue, I cannot promise the whole game) of SDR2, that aims to provide a more accurate experience than the official English translation.

More accurate how? Danganronpa not only suffers from a lot of mistranslations, but a handful of clunky dialogue and very literal translation choices that sacrifice nuance and an accurate experience for the sake of keeping the literal text. I want this patch to:

Fix all the mistranslations.

Add back in character accents, speech pattern quirks, and more accurately represent how they talk.

Fix the dialogue to sound more natural in English, as if these could be actual words spoken aloud (for the most part).

Give English players a version of the came that focuses more on capturing the spirit, energy, and emotion of the original dialogue than heavily focusing on providing the most literally accurate translation.

More on all these points under the cut.

What about other fantranslations? (orenronen, etc) I have not seen every conceivable English fan translation for SDR2, but a big one is orenronen's on SomethingAwful. It was never finished past chapter 3, but still stands as probably the most popular fan translation. Orenronen's work is extremely impressive given the speed and quality of the translations. That said, it is not without its mistakes, and I think suffers from perhaps taking too many liberties. I'm hoping my patch can strike a good balance between his and the official translation to deliver the most authentic experience possible.

So is this SDR2 "definitive" edition? Not exactly, I'll explain under the cut.

Big changes in this clip:

Added back in Souda's accent along with changing his name back. Tanaka's talent was also changed.

There is a joke that both I and the original English translation had to change as no English player would get it. You can read more about it in this post I made. (along with Jum-P being changed from Golden Hawk to Golden Eagle)

Komaeda speaks of Tanaka's time in the breeding/animal club, but as far as I'm aware, this is not a thing in many Western schools. The main gist of the text is Tanaka is amazing with breeding animals. The fact it was a club is irrelevant to the meaning, other than providing that he is a high schooler (which we already knew), so I cut it out to be more understandable to most English players.

Tanaka adds the part on about his hamsters not going easy on their enemies himself, the hamster doesn't say that. Kept the Hulk reference as it's a pretty apt translation and makes up for the missed reference from earlier. However I'm thinking of maybe changing the line afterwards to "they are not used to holding back" as that would be more accurate.

If you're interested in the details of this patch, please read below! I want this to be made for the fans by the fans, so any input is welcomed. If you have suggestions for how to improve text to flow better in English, or wish to correct/inquire about translation choices of mine, I more than welcome it. No matter how big or small, I want everyone to give their feedback and opinions and suggestions.

If you are interested in helping in the translation, be it from the perspective of a Japanese speaker, a play tester, or want to offer general writing/wording advice and feedback, please DM me. While I don't plan to form a team (I prefer to work alone), projects like this benefit greatly from opinions and feedback. Especially if you are familiar with both the official English and orenronen's version, I would appreciate your help. If a good number of people seem interested in helping, I may form a Discord or Tumblr community to facilitate discussion easier.

Welcome to under the cut. So, let's talk about that earlier point about definitive edition.

The thing is, save mistranslations, NISA (the official translation) and orenronen's versions of SDR2 are equally correct in some manner. NISA took a more literal approach to each sentence, while orenronen took more liberal approaches, instead going off what would sound best/fitting. Neither of these are incorrect. There is no "definitive" translation for any media in any language, but speaking from the perspective of Japanese -> English, there is rarely ever an exact way to be 1:1.

Let's take an example. The word "usagi" means "rabbit"...but it also means "bunny" and "hare". These are all relatively the same thing to the layman, but they impart different nuances. A character who chooses to only say "rabbit" instead of "bunny" may sound more intelligent or old-timey. So, how do you know which one to choose when it could be any 3? That's a very simplified version of the kind of choices you have to make in translation. When it comes to sentences that get longer and have more nuance even in the original Japanese language, you suddenly have a whole new beast to deal with.

You may have heard the common joke of "inexperienced translators" who translate the phrase "しょうがない" as "it can't be helped". Most English dictionaries will tell you this is what the phrase means, and yes, it is used in such a manner, but the fact is, most people do not say "it can't be helped". "I can't help but [...]" is much more common, but the standalone phrase is usually "it is what it is" or "that's just how things are", etc.

The phrase itself literally translates as "there is no method".

So, we have three versions of this phrase. The literal translation, the widely-posited English dictionary translation, and a naturalized version that is not literal to the actual Japanese word, but is an "equivalent" to what people would say in English. Which of these is more correct? Really...none of them. There is no more correct answer, just what sounds better or fits better.

This is all to say, my translation is going to be me doing the very, upmost best I can do to capture the meaning and nuance in all the words said, but also making it sound good and natural in English. This will inevitably include changing very cultural-specific things that English players wouldn't get, e.g. the Mutsugorou Kingdom joke Komaeda makes. As an English translation, I feel it is most important to naturalize it for an English audience. That is the whole point of translating from one language into another.

Above all, I will be honoring the feeling and meaning of the text rather than the literal words like NISA did. In other words, I would personally go with "it is what it is".

Keep in mind I am also one guy. I am not perfect in either language. Even people who speak English or Japanese as their first language make mistakes in them still, and translation only increases that chance. That's why extra eyes on this project helps. I do feel like I am a little out of my league, but at the end of the day, I'm doing this out of passion and fun. The official translation will still exist even if I make my own, so if anything, I'm hoping it provides a different experience that can help people grasp a closer meaning to the Japanese text.

Okay, let's get to the game stuff. Firstly, as you've seen, changes will be made to Character names/talents.

Ultimate Breeder -> Ultimate Animal Breeder. As funny as the implications are, his title was never meant to be confusing or ambiguous in the Japanese version.

Ultimate Musician -> Ultimate Pop Rock Musician. Mioda's title in the Japanese version is actually "Ultimate K-On Club Member", but was changed since most English players don't know what K-On is. It is most comparable to Pop Rock in terms of sound.

Soda Kazuichi -> Souda Kazuichi.

Kuzuryu Fuyuhiko -> Kuzuryuu Fuyuhiko.

Kirigiri Kyoko -> Kirigiri Kyouko.

A vote was held to keep Tanaka Gundham instead of Gundam or Gandamu (but this is subject to change depending on opinions I hear from others. His name is supposed to be a Gundam reference). A vote was also held to keep Hinata Hajime instead of Hazime.

Character Accents: As is with these types of games, the point is to have zany, eccentric characters who talk in zany, eccentric ways. Danganronpa is extremely hit or miss when it comes to carrying over these quirks. For the rest of this post I'll just be talking about SDR2 of course, but basically everything I say applies to the other Dangan games as well.

Some characters have their accents kept, at least in part, while others are just ignored. For example, Souda and Owari's accents were only sometimes kept, or watered down, while Usami's accent was removed entirely.

Speech quirks: This is largely context based. A cutesy girl using ね excessively comes off differently than a typical teenage boy using ね excessively, and will be translated differently...at least, that's how I view it. For the girl, I may make her speech more bubbly, cute, and appealing. For the boy, I would akin it more to going "like" or "um" a lot. Of course, if the boy is going for a cutesy image, or the girl is supposed to be mature, then I would flip this around. Like I said, this part depends 100% on context for each line.

Accurate representation: This one is a lot...but I'll try to boil it down. Japanese has several was to say "I" and "You"; different words and different ways to write those words. In fiction, this is usually a vehicle to tell you about the character's personality.

For example, among boys, it is common they will either use "boku" or "ore". "boku" is generally more polite than "ore".

However, there's multiple ways to write "ore". Hiragana, Katakana, or Kanji. The way it is written imparts a different impression. Hinata, for example, uses ore, kanji (俺) to refer to himself. Souda uses ore, katakana (オレ) to refer to himself. While this gives them both the impression of being masculine & impolite, Hinata using kanji gives the added impression of him being more intelligent and calm, while for Souda, katakana gives the impression of him being more abrasive and eccentric.

The meaning of what script is used also changes depending on context.

For example, for "you", both Hanamura and Komaeda use "kimi", which is a soft, friendly way to say "you" among friends. (Although, this is speaking strictly from the standpoint of fiction. You rarely use "you" in real Japanese. Anime characters do it all the time though, so it doesn't really count as "rude" by itself.)

However, Hanamura uses kimi, kanji (君) while Komaeda uses kimi, katakana (キミ). This both gives them the impression of being open and friendly, but for Hanamura, speaking with kanji makes it seem like he's being more proper and refined, and with Komaeda, speaking in katakana makes it seems like he's being more casual and laid back.

And then there are very unique "I" and "You" pronouns. Tanaka uses "ore-sama" (俺様) which sounds like he is saying "the great and amazing me", basically.

Ibuki says her own name, but this got translated poorly. Saying your own name as a first person pronoun, while not common, is more common in Japanese than English. Especially by kids and teen girls, it's seen as a cutesy thing. But it doesn't really come across like that in English. I will likely get rid of Mioda speaking in third person altogether, instead trying to incorporate this manner of speech into other forms, as it comes down to Mioda simply acting cute and eccentric. I think a good alternative is for her to occasionally speak of herself by saying "we" or "us", as that is not uncommon in English.

Similarly, Usami/Monomi talk with a cutesy ending. -desu becomes dechu, -masu becomes machu... "chu" is a very cute sound in Japanese, and it's supposed to drive home Usami's personality. I see this get translated as UwU speak a lot, which isn't incorrect, and in fact is a better translation than doing nothing like NISA did, but she does not speak with a speech impediment. It is only her endings that are modified. Me, personally, I will reword Usami to speak in a more simple, cute manner like a child show's protagonist, like Dora. I will also change some words to be cuter, like everybody -> everybunny, and you -> chu, but she will still speak normally.

And sometimes, pronouns change. Hinata uses omae (お前) to refer to other people, but for Monokuma, he's used omae (オマエ) before, changing the script to reflect his animosity.

This isn't even getting into honorifics or keigo. Honorifics (like -san, -kun, or no honorifics at all) reflect how respectful a character is of other characters. Similarly, "keigo", being often referred to as "polite speech", is commonly denoted by if a sentence ends in "-desu or -masu". Not speaking keigo in the situation these characters are in is a bit of a toss up. I wouldn't say it's automatically rude given they are all of the same age and status, and classmates don't always speak that way to each other either, but I would personally think most would approach this situation being polite when they're strangers.

There are also particles, some of which are more rude/masculine than other equivalent particles, or imperative speech, which is extremely rude (and not really ever used in real life).

On a politeness scale, for example...

Tsumiki uses keigo and uses -san for everyone, boys and girls. In the context of the rest of the cast, this sounds like she's speaking extremely politely and formally.

Komaeda does not use keigo but uses -san for girls and -kun for boys. He also uses "regular" particles. In context, this seems like he is speaking casually. Not rude, but not formal.

Hinata does not use keigo and does not use honorifics. He uses very masculine particles and is prone to using imperative form. In context, this seems like he is speaking extremely rudely.

Of course, NISA's version of SDR2 translates everything the same mostly since they go for a very literal approach, meaning these things that can't be translated into English all get translated the same, which is a shame. A lot is lost about how these characters speak and interact with the world. Specifically, Hinata suffers the most. Not just from stiff dialogue, but from getting his rude speech cut down immensely. The official art book for SDR2 claims that part of the design philosophy for Hinata was wanting to make a protagonist who was very masculine and direct. I want to keep that spirit in this patch, factoring in Hinata's choice in speech to influence how things get worded in English. While a sentence like なんだそれ！？Literally translates as "What is that!?", I would write it differently depending on the character after factoring in accent and everything we just talked about. "What the heck is that!?" for Souda, and "What the hell is that!?" (or even replacing hell with fuck in a tense situation) for Hinata, for example. For Komaeda, "What on earth is that!?" etc...

I think those are all the big points...if you've read this far, thank you :]

people who make future no despair aus and make gundham and sonia more "normal" are cowards and won't survive the winter. these guys are weird as hell and will be practicing the occult in the public park near your children. sonia's talking very loudly and excitedly on the metro about a string of killings in berlin that all follow "just a delightfully grotesque pattern!!" meanwhile jum-p the second (the original jum-p unfortunately passed shortly after they graduated) is wriggling down gundham's pant leg to gnaw at a french fry on the floor. gundham is unbothered by this and he's staring at sonia like she hangs the stars. you gotta get over it. you gotta accept it. if you can't accept sondham when they're weird you don't deserve them at all.

[catboy-kiyotaka-edits]

Very quick, very self-indulgent sprites for me as I wait for my mom to get ready to leave.

There really is no good place to put Jum-P on a Sonia sprite, sad.

Could you do a reader that's cold all the time?

Like, it could be the hottest day of the year and they'd still be freezing their booty off?

Preferably one of these characters: Gundham, Hajime, Nagito but it doesn’t matter who you write :>

gundham, hajime, and nagito with a reader who is cold all the time

fandom: danganronpa: goodbye despair

type: hcs

a/n: sorry this took so long omg

♤♧♤♧♤♧♤♧♤♧♤♧♤♧♤♧♤♧♤♧♤♧

gundham tanaka

my guy does not have a poker face. whenever he lends you his scarf or jacket his face is red for the ENTIRETY that you're wearing it

and what's worse is he has no scarf to hide behind

unfortunately gundham is clueless and cannot see that you're cold, ever

so you have to tell him

and he still won't take the hint

and you want to ask him for his scarf but that's fine because someone else will tell him

"one of the devas, mirage golden hawk jum-p, told me that you are cold," he'd say, removing his scarf

he wraps it around you with care, and stands back to get a look

"you must take absolute care of that scarf, it was awarded to me after i defeated its previous owner in battle," he blabs

you can't take him seriously though, because his face is already red and he's fidgeting with his fingers

from then on, the entire duration that you're wearing his scarf, he keeps sneaking looks at you, cherishing the way you look while wearing it

hajime hinata

bro is bamboozled as to how you can be constantly cold

he's very warm all the time so he never has any kind of jacket or sweater on

but when he met you, he got into the habit of having one around anyway

at first, if he didn't have a jacket, he would just hold your hands and rub your arms

now he knows better

he brings a jacket everywhere and he's always bewildered as to how you're not super prepared all the time

always blushes when he sees you wearing his jacket

he won't admit it but he actually prefers you wearing his jacket so you'll smell like him

but when he doesn't have anything, it's okay because seeing you shiver is the cutest thing in his eyes, it makes him laugh, and it gives him an excuse to touch you more

nagito komaeda

nagito is cold all the time too, which is why he wears his jacket even in the summer

and he hates being cold, but he would endure it for you

he knows how cold you get, so from time to time he'll touch your hand just to see

"ah, my love, do you need my jacket?" he'd ask, but you don't really have a choice in the matter

"please take it, you deserve it more than i..."

he'll drape it over you, helping you into it even though you could do it yourself

he'll hold you from behind, resting his chin on your head until he feels like you've warmed up enough

honestly he's really concerned most of the time, like how tf are you cold right now??

bro sweats when he's nervous too it's so funny watching him worry about you so much when you're not in immediate danger
