#Kiyo helps him with his masculinity complex

Assorted Kiyos.

((Additionally, I am working on drawing dicks. It is my lesbian dream to truly be able to draw a pleasing dick. I’m working on it. Not there yet though…))

[its-nebula]

for the dr boys you simp for, what was the exact moment/scene you knew you started simping for them? like personally for me, i liked kokichis character from his intro interaction with kiibo, because i feel like you got a sense of his youthfulness so well. but it wasnt until the “its a lie!” scene that solidified my confidence, i was like...oh yea. this punk little shit gets on my fuckin nerves time to SIMP. i also liked nagis character from the beginning but ngl i did question if i rly did like him in or if i was just being influenced by the hype making me think i liked him bc i knew how many people loved him. but the final dead room sealed the deal for me when he played rr because i was like this mans really is so chaotic im kinda impressed? like??? big phat SIMP hours???

Nagi- I agree with you, I was skeptical because of how many people in the DR fandom love him so much, but like, this man was fine from the beginning. I'd say it was locked in when I found out he was dead and I literally wanted to CRY and I usually don't get so emotionally attached to characters like that.

Kichi- W e l l. Like I said, after playing the game I was still prreeeeeeetttyyyy ticked off about how he killed off my bug boy Gonta. Chapter 5 redeemed him a little bit, but the scales didn't really tip for me until after I started to really write for him. I'd say when I wrote "Self-Sabotage" is when the simpery was fully locked in. The reason I say this is because whenever I write, I like to get into the head of the characters; think about what they'd say, do, etc. Usually to do this, I open up a video of their voice files and free time events (it's kinda tough for me to write characters like Rantaro for example for this reason), and I started to understand him and his reason behind things better.

Chihiro- Alright, alright, alright, alright. So since I am bi, I already had kind of a crush on Chi when I thought he was a girl. Now mind you, this is the first DR crush I ever had and it's still going strong to this day! Unfortunately i had the reveal spoiled for me, but when I actually found out why he got killed and the moments leading up to it, my heart strings were TUGGED and I didn't want to leave my bed for the rest of the night. I respected him so much for wanting to become stronger, and I really FREAKING wish he lived at least a couple more chapters, god damn it. To this day, he's an inspiration to me, and I feel like we could all take a few notes about toxic masculinity from his trial. Real talk.

GUNDHAM TANAKA- when I heard his voice LMFAOOOOOO. Okay okay if we're being serious then I'd say during Chapter 4's trial is where I noticed that on the inside he's just a big softie and he rrally cares about his friends. He's more nice than he wants to let on, but he also wanted them to fight for their lives instead of telling them straight away. This struck me as he's a very complex character, much like his hard ass trial, and yeah.

Kiibo- His love hotel scene! Not much to say here, but, boy oh boy. It was just so ridiculously cute that like how could I not fall in love with this man immediately? I'm not going to lie, I find 95% of the DRV3 characters to be attractive, but he just stuck out to me (no offense Kee-boy, I'm not robophobic I promise ;w;). I also like how he took up responsibility in trial 6, even though that trial blows, but he was definitely my favorite part of it.

Shuichi- Not just the fact that he's my favorite protag of the 3, but I feel a lot more of a connection with him. After trial 1 I was pretty bummed about the whole Kaede thing, even though I did NOT see that coming, but Shuichi stepped up to the plate nicely. I think when I started simping for him officially is when he gathered up the strength in Ch4's trial to finally admit to himself and everyone else who the killer really was. I've never cried during a game, book, or movie, but that trial got me the CLOSEST to doing it because I felt a tear starting to form, seriously, and it didn't help that Razz was crying while I was watching the video as well. It was all around just an emotional moment and I'm happy Shuichi was able to keep himself together for the sake of everyone, even though everyone loved Gonta.

Honorable mentions-

Ryoma- Kichi took his spot in the top 6 lmfaooo but he is right behind them all at the #7 spot. When I learned his backstory my heart melted.

Rantaro- I can see why so many people guessed him, because as Ive said before and will say again, this man is FINE. If ik more bout him then yeah.

Kiyo- I swear to you all. This man was going to be my favorite in V3, but then they just had to to go anD FUCK UP HIS CHARACTER LIKE THAT- i'm fine.

Kaz- He's great, don't get me wrong, his obsession with pale blonde princesses is a little bit concerning, but we all have our flaws baby.

Kuya- i was simping for this man very very hard a couple months ago, but then I realized he would probably see me as a peasant and that made me sad. plus what he did in ch2 was kinda fucked up looking back.

[parasite-core]

I saw something earlier that made me think of an OC ask, so here’s my Pathfinder characters’ answers

What magic would your OC want that they don’t already have?

Kiyo: Polymorph/beast shape/alter self

Kiyo is interested in being something else. While they would say they don’t have an issue being an elf, seeing others age and die around them hasn’t helped their opinion of being an elf much either. They’d be interested in a change of perspective, be it turning into a human/orc/gnome/etc, or into an animal or other non-humanoid creature. It would also allow them to explore various gender presentations more easily—and to screw with people by making themself ever so slightly more masculine or feminine on different days to break everyone’s perception of gender. This answer is cheating a little because they already have a hat of disguise and disguise self potions, but they would argue since that’s an illusion and not a real transformation that it still counts.

Sai: Would answer alter self, but if repeat answers weren’t allowed and Kiyo went first she would answer fireball.

Fireball is a classic. It’s a powerful and iconic spell that’s the mark of an up and coming spellcaster. It’s also not on the witch’s spell list, like most direct damaging evocation spells. Sai equates being a powerful magic user with being useful and liked, so she would want an iconic and visibly useful spell, unlike her more subtle hexes and mind-effecting spells.

Haruki: Fly

He considered invisibility because it would be useful for a rogue, or alter self to try to return to his original human form, but the novelty of flight won out. It’s something people dream of, to touch the sky. It would make him feel powerful to be above others...which in turn he thinks would help lessen his insecurities, or at least mask them. Also he miiiiight have a bit of an Icarus complex, ready to fly higher than god permits even if it means he’ll almost certainly fall.

Roland: Paladin’s Sacrifice

Roland already has an extensive spell list, able to cast 9th level cleric spells and 8th level wizard spells due to the power of his Suzaku holy symbol. There’s not a lot he can’t already do, but the Paladin’s power to shift potentially lethal damage from one target to him is something he would do in a heartbeat. (If he had a beating heart.)

Lucien: Wild magic

Lucien isn’t really interested in learning some other form of magic, there’s no particular non-cleric spell that calls to him. Sure, he has companions who can shoot acid from their hands or ensnare another person’s senses with their voice, but Lucien is perfectly happy with the magic Lady Luck provides him—even if he isn’t always happy with his own proficiency (or lack thereof) in said magic. However the randomness of wild magic effects would appeal to Lucien’s gambler tendencies. It could become something really good or something really bad—how could he resist?
