#Kotoko answers

@spookymonthtime

Oh, Hiya! It’s a spooky month!

“ a spooky month!? But isn’t August silly? ”

[seariii]

Seariii, I have been emboldened by my mutuals to tell all the Kotoko thirsters that

You've all drawn the thumbnail wrong. I think Kotoko is flat-chested.

When I tell you this made me chuckle...

The other day I was looking at my art and I do think it's probably a little exaggerated, but I chose to go easy on myself because I never draw chests like that

ALSO IM NOT GONNA COUNTERARGUE THAT HSHSHSJJSJAJAJ I DONT EVEN KNKW WHAT TO ANSWER

BUT IM GONNA SAY this is what got stolen from us, but the milgram team did it for a good reason! They knew that the sapphics wouldn't have survived, and they need to keep their revenue and their fandom alive /j

I found some images of the Karatetsu collab interrogation answers, so here's a partial translation. If you have a reasonably high quality picture of any of the missing ones, I'd love to add it too!

The question for all of them is "Do you have any memories of karaoke?"

Yuno: I use it pretty often. I go sing with my friends and other stuff. Do you think you could make one here in the prison?

Fuuta: Right after I got into uni I used to go for welcoming parties and such, but I stopped going after a while.

Muu: I go sometimes. Though in my case I spend most of the time there just chatting with my friends.

Mahiru: It's got a wonderful "first date" kind of feeling, doesn't it? And it lets you learn the favorite songs of the person with you… What sort of music do you like?

Amane: No. I never went to one, so naturally I have no memories of it.

Kotoko: I used them pretty often. They've got the most convenient individual rooms, so I find them useful for having conversations you don't want overheard.

G10 Kotoko if you want to do people, if not then G10 with whichever of your characters is most likely to commit murder >:3

Kotoko my beloved <3

[mythgirlimagines]

Concept: After saving the masked kids in Towa City, the WoH try to reach out to them, but only for the kids to rightfully reject them because they forced the kids to kill their own parents.

i can imagine the aftermath would be rough for. well basically everyone

It took a long time for the Warriors of Hope to realize all they’d done wrong, enough time that Towa City was almost completely rid of despair- and all of the kids no longer had those helmets.

Kotoko especially missed her friends, and wanted to try reaching out to apologize. Nagisa wasn’t sure it was such a good idea, but Masaru and Jataro wanted to try, too.

It didn’t go well. They were yelled at, and they understood why. It sucked, absolutely, but deep inside each of them, they knew that they deserved more than just that.

None of the other kids in Towa City wanted to associate with them anymore; it was just the four of them against the world. And they’d made it that way by following Monaca.

Maybe there’d come a chance for them to do more to apologize, but for the time being, they had to just keep going. Keep living. What else could they even do for themselves?

Here's a DR Demix question that I have regarding the Monokuma Kubs & the Warriors of Hope since I haven't heard anything about them in this AU. Do they by any chance swap with each other like the Li'l Ultimates become Usowa babies (Or whatever baby bunnies are called.) & the Kubs are now human kids working under Taka?

Hi, and thanks for the ask!

You've hit it right on the head! The Li'l ultimates in this au swap with the Monokubs in DrV3, with the Monokubs getting their own swanky humanized forms (design still TBA for now) with each color Monokub swapping with the equivalent, or similar, colored WoH member.

Rather than a group of poorly-taught kids, these "Enforcers of Despair" are a group of university burn-outs, cruel outcasted losers who find an erroneous purpose and freedom by serving as Kiyotaka's successors in his absence, continuing his will and serving his perverted view of law, peace, and justice. Together, they are in charge of the conquering one of the last shreds of resistance against Taka's new world order: an isolated mountain haven called Jabberwock Village.

They have a particularly strong hatred for children and the meek, with special orders to completely stamp out the childlike glee in all children. Replacing it with unquestioning obedience to authority and rigidity.

In the order they appear:

Hantaro (Monotaro) is the first. A naive and forgetful dullard, but dedicated and unshakably loyal. Hantaro is completely invested in the cause in earnest, for reasons that he may have trouble remembering, but believes in nonetheless.

Seinsouke (Monosuke) is the second. A selfish and rude brute, whose shrewdness is only matched by his greed. Seinosuke is not a believer in the cause for any real ideological reason. He simply sees it as a means to amass more and more wealth.

Stephanie (Monophanie) is the third. Airheaded and unassuming, but carries a manipulative streak that belies a deeper intelligence. Stephanie is another believer of the cause, one who willfully blinds herself into seeing only the good in Taka's reign and seeks to preserve it.

Touma (Monokid) is the fourth. Cruel, untamed, and of an unmatched physicality that makes him the perfect enforcer. Touma sees the world as his playground, and Taka's system has enabled him to live in it without stupid limiting rules and limitations, bullying and terrorizing all he sees fit.

Adamu (Monodam) is the final of the enforcers. Patient, unfeeling, brilliant. Adamu has no loyalty to the cause. Not anymore. Not after Taka's death exposed it for what it really is: a weak, imperfect vision of the future that will inevitably end in a fall. A vision that he will perfect and replace.

As for their V3 equivalents, the bunnies will be known as the something-chowa, still nothing concrete on these, but their names are: Masachowa, Nagichowa, Monachowa, Jatachowa, and Kotochowa. They're a bunch of rebellious kids that Usowa wants to whip into shape.

That's all from me now. More in-depth stuff will come out in a dedicated Demix 1/2 post I wanna make this coming August after art fight!

hi i have more thoughts and i finished watching kotoko's audio drama (absolutely devastated there is not a single mention of her past *slamming the floor with my fist*) BUT OH MY GOD. i am very insane *looks at you with big wide eyes*

ok but one thing i wanna mention i saw someone comment under kotoko's mv that at the very end, she uses the scale (which is something often used in judgement) as the "murder weapon" for all of the chess pieces, aka her vision of justice is using justice itself as her reason for attacking. the neon blood is splattered everywhere, including the scale.

ANYWAY VOICE DRAMAAAAAA~~ the irony of kotoko pointing out "oh are you voting based on preference and bias and not their crimes?" is so funny because Jackalope literally said you can vote based on any basis.

"when the killer is met with violence, that's called karmic retribution" i feel like this line is important because she believes that all of the prisoners in MILGRAM are here for a reason, and that they have all killed someone, hence they deserve karma. she would have gone for all of them, but from what i recall Jackalope had specifically stated that prisoners with innocent verdicts could do what they wanted, hence they could protect themselves from Kotoko, but also the guilty verdicts meant that she had a "proper" reason to go and attack them.

me when i see kotoko manipulating es like oooooh you wanna give me power so baaaaaad i'll be your fangs i'll do everything i'll do the dirty work i will attack them and none of them are forgiven. but also her entire speech about being a bystander and watching all of these "crimes" being laid out in front of es, in front of us the audience is soooo silly funny i love you kotoko. "why won't you do anything if you think that it's evil"

last note: Es' headache when kotoko mentions "i'll be your fangs," and personally i've interpreted it as: Es the warden who is supposed to be the judgement dealer, has passed the responsibility to kotoko, who intends to attack everyone. But also this headache is not caused by Es' own confusion and confidence in her ability as warden. I think this is MILGRAM's doing and her status as prisoner 00. as for why, i don't have concrete evidence but from what i remember it has happened a few times? (i think it was yuno's 2nd voice drama?)

anyway *clicks guilty* my work here is cleaned up :] (i'm definitely wrong about things i'm just spitballing the 1st thing that came to mind) (also she views things as very black and white. you killed someone, so you deserve to pay. life isn't that simple honey :sob:)

I LOVEE READING MILGRAM THEORIES SM

+ heres my addition !!!! (somebody else acually pointed it out but i cant FIND THEM IF U SEE THIS HI !! I SAW UR NOVELGRAM POST AND IT STUCK SO HARD,,,,,,,)

screenshots from 1:27 of the MV, the unofficial novelgram translation (chapter 5), and chapter 5 page 6 of the unofficial novelgram manga translation.

it kinda shows that while she wants the other prisoners not to be forgiven so that she'll have a justifiable reason to deliver her justice onto them, she is also judging herself for her own sins and knows she's unforgivable (or not, maybe she thinks her justice is correct and therefore she is forgivable, idk)

also, the table and chairs are very similar to kotoko's round table where she sits in the taller chair assigned to the warden !

[seariii]

hi seari!!! thank u for being so sweet and kind,,,u really made me feel better today <33

have this quick doodle i made in class, apologies for the low quality!!

AWWWW leaf this is so cute (⁠ ⁠；⁠∀⁠；⁠) I'm in tears

This wasn't necessary and it's so cute so adorable aaaaa thank you QWQ awwwww THIS IS SO CUTE AAAAAAAH wait I wanna- I wanna-

*time skip*

SO!! THIS IS MY OC I USE TO SELF SHIP WITH KOTOKO!!! when people draw Kotoko with Moradita (the purple cat's human version) it's funny to me because the Milgram one (Saori) would get jealous, but I saw this and my gay mind went "omg Saori would be so happy and they'd just cuddle while with the kitty and aaaaaa" AAAAAAAAA SO THANK YOU, LIKE, THANK YOU SO MUCH, I LOVE THIS LIKE YOU HAVE NO IDEA THANK YOU, I LOVE YOU YOU'RE AMAZING!!!!

... also I'm really glad I was able to help úwù

[good-beanswrites]

THE SEQUENCE OF ALL THE CHARACTERS SHARING INFORMATION IS SO FUN!!!!!!! esp the spotlight on hinako I love her a lot I’m glad she’s getting attention 🫶🫶 i feel like hinako didn’t want kids but would still fight to death to keep them safe ESP SINCE SHE’S A COP/INVESTIGATOR TOO i hope we learn more about her in t3…..

OUGH Hinako deserves so much attention!! I makes me crazy that we simultaneously know nothing important about her, and also she's the minor character/victim we know the most about: she has a full appearance, several outfits, we see her doing domestic tasks, we know her career and see her working, and we know her full name. (I also find it really juicy to have these two cop/investigator character in a murder "mystery" series that are completely detached from their usual role; it was fun to give that back to them in the au.) It's so interesting because originally I thought she was the one to want kids and Kazui held her back, but with recent info it definitely seems like he wanted a family more than her... And you're right -- that doesn't stop her from kicking anyone's ass who stands between her and protecting these kids 😤😤😤

And ah thanks!!! It was so fun trying to map out potential investigation methods >:3 The group is very limited because they're basically in prison (even if they're going free at the end). But at the same time, there's ten sets of skills and connections and knowledge which definitely helps. Plus, ten bodies in general is helpful -- you can have a lot of distractions and actions going on at once with so many people... I was so focused on thinking who could go in and out of the facility, but I wanted to add that Muu's parents help a lot too! They can't do much information-wise, but with their money they can pull some strings on the outside.
