One of my friends calls The Monument to Lost Lights,"The Kiosk" and it makes it sound like you're getting a cheap souvenir to me and it cracks me up every time.

Headcannons for long, duigi long, lonkey, ligi dong, donkuigi, donkigi, LK, and luikong.

At first DK was just being very nice to luigi just to upset mario, but other time it evolves to them being friends to boyfriends very quickly. Movie Mario is against this, but I'd like to think game mario wouldn't be upset just a little protective but that's it. DK first started catching feelings ever since he saw luigi get the powerstar and beat bowser, while luigi caught feelings whenever he first saw Dk flex his muscles(which he totally did on purpose just for luigi). Every kong is supportive of this but would make fun of dk for not asking luigi out yet, and when he finally did there was a big old party. Peach is a huge supporter. Cranky kong had a feeling DK had different taste, but he still didn't think it would be someone like luigi. He also just doesn't really care about the whole thing. Mario tries his very best to ruin their time whenever they're together but he just ends up making it better somehow, also peach and other kongs try to stop mario because they love seeing these 2 together. Also fanfic for these 2 is in the works so get ready for it

Hi there! I stumbled across your blog randomly, and I’m so glad I did. I’ve gotten into DR recently and I’ve been hooked on Nagito’s character for many of the reasons you are! I’ve already read a few of your analyses and I love them, it’s amazing getting more insight into one of my favorite DR characters from someone who really understands him!

I’m not sure if you’ve already done this, but if it’s not too much trouble, do you think you can do an analysis on just how fucking smart Nagito is? I think he’s one of the most intelligent and observant characters in DR2. I’m rewatching DR2 and bro lk carries the trials with his hints, a lot of times it seems he figured out the culprit before anyone else. That’s not even mentioning the entirety of Chapter 5!

Sorry if this is a weird ask, it’s an aspect of Nagito’s character that I personally don’t really see talked about too much (then again I haven’t been in the fandom for that long lol) I’d love to hear your thoughts! Thanks again for all your lovely analyses!

I’d just like to start this out by saying sorry it’s taken me a while to answer this, I like to articulate big stuff like this when I’m able to and less tired (at my best) so apologies for the wait!

Thank you so much! I’m really happy you enjoy my rambles, especially as someone who just got into the series! I’m honored to be told I understand him by so many people since he means so much to me. Your request actually hasn’t been asked before so don’t worry! I’ll try my best to express that Nagito is Really Smart, and god Is he Really smart.

I don’t know why he ended up so intelligent, but I like to believe that from thinking so much and forming his beliefs it caused him to be pretty smart. That paired with the obvious life experiences that his luck gives him, and just being born with that type of mind results in him being pretty smart. Honestly I want to say I think Nagito is a very emotionally strong character for going so much trauma and still at the end of the day being able to form a coping mechanism and live on, or if you want to put it into other words to be able hold onto hope despite everything. But of course, too much of anything is a bad thing and over time it becomes obsessive and unhealthy as we can see. He’s also extremely tragic in that sense as well. But anyways, that’s all just to say I think Nagito’s insane life experience helped him become smarter. He also seems to read as a hobby, given how there are an immense amount of books in his cottage. If I recall he also spends a lot of his time at the library on the island usually, but the books in his room are already enough to support the fact he reads anyways. This is to say I’m sure his intelligence is also helped by how he reads lots of books.

So far this has all been my thoughts on how Nagito became to be such a smart person, but now I want to talk about some of the things he actually does with it. For starters, I feel like there’s something to be said about how he through living his unfortunate life understands he has luck and uses it to his advantage. He views himself in a very negative way that isn’t entirely setting himself to the standard of the talentless, not that he’d ever be outright aggressive to the talentless, or with the talented to him he’s in this worthless middle ground. He’s low enough where he would criticize the talentless for being too bold or not being a stepping stone given the hierarchy be believes in, but he also isn’t entirely equivalent given he does have a talent. He just believes his talent is awful because it has given him so much trauma and more so killed everyone he’s ever loved, but even so he uses it to his advantage and uses it as “the one thing he’s capable at,” although he would never use it for selfish reasons given how selfless he is. This is all to say that he’s incredibly smart for not only recognizing this, but coming up with plans and ways to achieve his goals by using his own luck. It’s his thing, be believes it’s awful and by extension he is worthless himself, but it’s the thing he has and he uses it, trusts it, and relies on it whole heartedly. He’s able to achieve his goals by abusing his luck, and the plans he comes up with to use his luck to get an outcome he wants showcases just how Intelligent he really is constantly. In Danganronpa 3 when he wants to postpone the test because he wants everyone to be at their best, he comes up with an entire plan for multiple options if some of them fail to get what he wants to achieve. He knows due to his luck that he will get what he wants by following through with any of these plans, and thinks of possible ways he can get what he wants. In Chapter 1 of Danganronpa 2 he relies on his luck, figures out what to do, and plans everything out using his intelligence. His good luck directly impacts him while his bad luck usually impacts everybody else unless it has nobody to go after, so in that case his plan technically doesn’t work like how he hoped but he still got what he wanted in the end. Nagito is able to also entirely clear the final dead room easily with his intelligence, and again relies on his luck because he’s smart enough to understand how his own luck works to use it. The biggest display of intelligence probably is the entire suicide he plans out, I don’t think I even have to say much on it for the point to be conveyed that he’s INCREDIBLY smart for being able to come up with something so elaborate. Just like the things i’ve mentioned here, he trusts his luck in the process. But the way that his plan doesn’t work, the way that it fails unexpectedly is that Hajime despite being so conflicted is able to finally not put it aside and use his understanding of Nagito to put himself in his shoes, see the world how he thinks, and solve the case. He has to trust in Nagito’s luck like Nagito does, something that he couldn’t have accounted for, to solve the case. That’s one of the major reasons Chapter 5 is so amazing, we have to trust his luck just like he does to get to the bottom of things. Even so, all of these things are a testament to just how smart he really is. This isn’t even mentioning how he’s smart enough to know things about the case, help out, but not fully solve it for them because his goals center around seeing the ultimates shine and be more capable than he can be, at least he believes he can’t be as capable but his beliefs are what actually hold him back. He is incredibly smart and this is shown time and time again, he is a wonderful character and his intelligence is only one aspect that contributes to how amazing and interesting he is.

He’s incredibly observant as well. He’s more observant than he is able to fully grasp social cues, or more so due to his absolute beliefs it prevents him from fully grasping other people’s perspective and his trauma making him more numb results in difficulty coming off as he intends to mostly when he’s at his worst or coping. For this reason he is usually the outcast but doesn’t understand the true reason he is hated and just thinks it’s because of the factual hierarchy, his absolute beliefs, he doesn’t usually comprehend things that center around them not being believed or being factual and is conflicted or frustrated when things put them into question or go against it. I try to explain this and bring it up because he relies on observation of people’s reactions more than anything. He is extremely observant in general and he uses his observations especially in social situations to help himself. Even when he doesn’t understand the reason why or feels it is an out of place reaction because he doesn’t fully understand the other’s perspective, he can absolutely observe other people fully. This is mostly just an add on to everything else in my massive statement to express how smart he is, but I just want to mention how observant he is. It helps him with solving cases and social situations extremely often. It also is shown how absolute his beliefs are by how his observations sometimes confuse him or cause him to feel as if the hierarchy is proven right because he cannot see it as anything but fact because he is so far gone. Most people believe in the hierarchy subconsciously but he believes in it as fact and is more expressive and honest in general as a person. Anyway, again, just main point here is he’s incredibly observant.

Hopefully this is a good short summary or way to express how intelligent he is, if there’s anything more you’d like me to cover about his intelligence that you think I missed or didn’t summarize well enough let me know! Sorry again that this has taken a while. Side note: I’m just posting this without revising it much, so I may edit it later or remove typos but for the most part if there’s any weird wordings or typos sorry about that, haha! I don’t have the time to revise it at the moment.

Thank you for your ask!!! <3

How do you feel about mei mei as a character? Lk thought she was a baddie and all (would've hit) but I recently saw 'the' episode evb was talking Abt 😭💀

shes a baddie for sure. but honestly? i don't really care if people like her or hater her. sister/bro trope is not new in japan. ive been watching anime since i was 5 and ive also lived in japan for half a year, no one there bats an eye at it and its in most popular anime to some extent.

i get its weird in american culture for families to be naked around each other. but whole families in asia and various other euro cultures will go to the baths together and bathe at home together. so i dont think mei mei in the bed with her brother was inherently sexual. that said however, i do think she knows how much he looks up to her and admires her. and i do think she manipulates that affection he has for her to her own advantage. but i wouldn't call it grooming like people on tumblr do as grooming is a prep for a sexual relationship. and from what we know about mei mei shes just an all around manipulator indiscriminately. that doesn't make her a good person but that also doesn't mean she has or will SA her brother. i think people are doing the most when it comes to her but 🤷🏾‍♀️.

|| SPOILERS ||

took me a little under 30 hours (like 29hours and 40something minutes), but I finished my first veilguard playthrough, and like, the emotions are there, but I'm kinda laughing. I started speedrunning through the main story after recruiting the whole team, cause I fucked up my chances with Lucanis and didn't wanna start over without a general understanding of the main story, but cause of this, I skipped most side quests, only did a couple to level up stats (my rook carried so hard), but because I didn't do all of that, no one was prepared and I got the worst possible ending. lmao. I mean, I knew some of the team would die, and I was fully prepared for Rook to go into the Fade with Solas (it's kay cause I lk ship 'em, she'll fix him in there, or just get him on his knees), cause I did not do his regrets quest or have a lavellan inquisitor, but bro, fucking everyone died. I thought at least the party I brought with me to the final confrontation would live, but Solas straight up Zhongli burst'd them. Come on dude, let Harding go home with the Inquisitor at least, so she can tell her parents (culvelyan) all about what a fucked up month she's had.

My Personal Opinions on Minsung's Dynamic (2020)

Disclaimer: I am not trying to pass off my opinions as facts. This is my personal interpretation of what is laid out right in front of us. I could be completely off base because I don’t know these guys personally, so take this with a grain of salt and feel free to disagree!

I think it’s more than safe to say Lee Know and Han find each other attractive.

They don’t even try to hide it.

You really start to see it this year, especially from Han’s side (how the turn tables).

2020 was such a good year for them. You can tell that the guys are a lot more confident and vibrant, especially when you compare it to the latter half of 2019. I think Lee Know really starts to come into himself during Gods Menu era (like I mentioned previously), like his confidence here is another level. Compare him to his 2018 self and you'll really notice the difference.

But as I also mentioned before, Han’s attitude really changes this year.

First with the Osen Star Road video: Lee Know talks about working part-time at a restaurant flipping steak and Han blurts out “Flip me!” The members’ reactions to that are priceless if you replay that clip. His intrusive thoughts won that day.

Then there’s the Unlock concerts: the clip of him staring at LK through the giant monitor like he saw the galaxy and LK catching him in the process has me in stitches every time I watch it. (Almost foreshadowing to another instance where he does the same exact thing in 2023, but for a different reason 😉)

The fancam from Music Core during Gods Menu Era where Han literally fans himself right after he stares at LK.

And then casually calling him “Hot” as he films him in one of the SKZ talkers.

Last but not least, the “All in” clip where he goes “You” (Dangshin) after Lee Know asks “What have you been all in?”. Intrusive thoughts win again!!

And the feeling is mutual too.

During the Weekly Idol episode when Han does yet ANOTHER sexy dance, Lee Know tries to create an exaggerated, taken aback reaction much like what the other members are doing. (Some of them are playfully grossed out) But he can’t hold it for that long at all lmfao. Like, his body language completely betrays him. (Man literally says ‘wow’ and bites his lip skjdhaksjhkjashd)

Lee Know also seems to really like Han’s look in the “Easy” MV. (this is one of his best looks imo so I don’t blame him) First, he draws it in one of his vlives and then makes it his mission to mention that was his favorite part (exact time stamp and everything!) before getting all teeheehee shy. Like bro??? How do you even remember that?

Much like last year, it’s not as obvious as it was in 2018. But the occasional "slip up" doesn't ever really go away. Though, they come back in full force around 2022 and 2023 (especially!!).

We get to see a little bit more of their little hangouts. Either that or they just casually mention them in passing. They really do take the time to hang out together outside of work schedules. As much as they’ve mentioned hanging out together, fans have also spotted them out together on many occasions throughout the years. Imagine living with someone, working with them 24/7, and then wanting to spend the very limited amount of spare time you have with them as well, when you…already see them every day.

Oh! and Butt-hunter LK makes his official debut this year. His unique way of showing affection towards the members. Han seems to be his number one victim though (ooooh wow how shocking 🤥).

My personal opinions:

Again, I’m preetty sure they are just friends this year. From what we are shown, I personally don't see anything more (outside of potential feelings) unless you purposefully take moments out of context and ignore how they perceive each other around this time.

Though, they don’t shy away from the mutual playful banter and flirting, as well as being appreciative of each others looks. They seem a lot more comfortable and confident with themselves than they were in previous years, so its not something they refrain from doing. It also seems to carry onto 2021 and future years. But it’s not something you saw as much prior to 2020.

However, I do think Han, for the first time, starts developing feelings that go beyond platonic this year. If I had to pinpoint a year for him, it would probably be 2020. Han’s "Han's Communication Show - Stay 2nd Bday" Vlive gave a lot of insight in such a brief time. He seems like someone who wants to put a distance between himself and any sort of feeling that crosses the platonic/non-platonic boundary with LK. He says he doesn’t want to spend too much time with him, but they always end up together. 🙃 He literally says "Lee Know is annoying" while giggling/laughing like that. (Is he attempting to convince himself or us? I don’t know.)

It kind of goes back to him saying stuff like: “I stared/glared at him b/c he was so handsome...cause i was jealous of his looks." "I ranked him as one of the lowest b/c I don’t like good looking men." "I don’t like when he winks at me it’s so annoying" etc etc.

I honestly don’t think he’s even aware of it. Like sometimes he’ll blurt something out that kind of….gives him away in a sense? Like a Freudian slip or an intrusive thought.

I’ve also noticed he tends to pay extra attention/laugh extra hard at Lee Know’s jokes or little quirks that might go undetected by the others. 

In 2021, the playful back and forth flirting really ramps up between them. I think that year (and onwards) is when they are the most secure with themselves, at least compared to 2020 and the years prior.

hi! sorry this isn’t really exile related but since you “rebranded” into a milk sub account a few days ago and made subs for milk, i wanna ask if you know any milk subbers on any platforms? it can be livejournal, dreamwidth, tumblr, twitter, etc. cause i really wanna get into them 😓

Currently there are no active subbers for M!LK content 😞 though never say never!

However, here is a compilation of resources from over the years, so we hope it can help you get to know the group and fall in love with the members!

MUSICGLOBE #1 - M!LK's segment from MUSICGLOBE, which is Stardust's internally-produced music show with English subs, intended to promote artists to international fans.

M!LK Labo EP01-03 - by the lovely milk_no_7nin on LJ, who has some other translations on their blog. They also subbed these two Daichi-centric videos: one from Cancam and one from the Color Change project.

DAN! DAN! EBiDAN! - by SHRiMP Subs. Not strictly M!LK, but too important not to include! Being one of the senior groups, they feature prominently, especially Jinto as he's one of the MCs. Only EP01 has been subbed so far.

hsn12 - a translator for M!LK. We recommend this one where they introduce each other and the TV Bros series of interviews where they each talk about the group, as it's a great way of understanding current 5-nin's dynamics.

If anyone of our followers has any more resources, please chime in through reblogs or in the replies below!

Do the LK bros get along in your universe?

Pretty much, yeah. Although they sometimes still face some agreements and conflicts between brothers they're cool, I guess. But Bi-Han was still being an authoritarian leader

[sunnidear]

1, 3, 5

OH BOY

1. the character everyone gets wrong

too many to count actually. right now on the brain currently is al-haitham gi (many MANY takes of him either being outright cold(?) or extremely lovey-dovey(???????????) he's a scholar who just wants a cushy life for himself and therefore is blunt...

however literally all my favs are mischaracterized. like the lack of reading comprehension with genshin and honkai is DIRE...will never forgive people in 2020 for what they did to kaeya. if i want to go outside my personal faves i'll also say zhongli/neuvillette because they aren't big dom possessive daddies they are old men looking to retire/do their job respectfully...

if i REALLY wanna go outside my faves and choose a non-hyv character i'll say astarion...while i haven't fully finished bg3 i Have seen a lot of his character via clips and just general spoilers for different paths in the game...fanon astarion is horrifying. malleus twst is also up there, with his characterization being this big dominant dragon daddy yandere etc etc but he's literally just a Guy who's smart and lonely. however seeing this is less likely and also lk funny because it's so far away from what he's actually like, so he's last

3. screenshot or description of the worst take

oh GOD. it's really hard to choose. hyv-wise:

aventurine slave fic. (he was a former slave. this was fetishized)

saying wriothesley, the one who was a victim of the prison system and therefore worked to reform it, is pro prison

non hyv-wise:

any bsd dazai x readers bro PUT THAT MAN DOWN (not literally)

5. worst discord server and why

i've probably told you abt this before. but nothing will ever beat out the mha server in which not only were characters "aged-up" nd shit but there were grown people fighting over mudae and ppl were beefing with actual minors (myself included! i was deadass 14)

[sw33t-oubliette]

bro i need a little drink so fucking bad right now im about to go upstairs and grab a big ass glass of chocolate mi;lk
