#Makoto makes sense

[davilishuuu]

Heyyy guess who's back with a totally different art style and persona 3 art for some reason🔥🔥(sorry)

[hinamie]

happy to report that after 8 years i can finally do him justice in this goddamn tank top

[funishment-time]

i was talking about this with The Boys(tm) on Discord already but let's pretend Tsumugi's V3 plot was the real thing for a second. Makoto sent those kids into space without a Medical Professional but with Kokichi Ouma. he expected them to repopulate the human race without even a midwife but was sure to include an Insecure Robot who has few useful functions out of box. he accidentally brain damaged Rantaro and didn't check for Kuma stowaways. there's like 9 kinds of poison in Shuichi's room and porn in the AV room.

i get that they were the only people immune to Space COVID except surprise one wasn't but like. a meteor must have hit the Kirigiri-Togami polycule household specifically because otherwise i think Makoto must have been like

at the Danganronpa Survivor Board Meeting.

you're telling me Kyoko and Byakuya didn't know about Actual Murderer Korky Shingu and signed off on throwing him up there, thus ensuring the future of our species comes down to Maki Harukawa and Miu Iruma only. and Maki's probably out so it's just Miu. it's just Miu forever. Miu as far as the eye can see.

Makoto Naegi doomed us to a long slow extinction of HEEEEEEEs and HEHs and BETA BITCH BOY and SENSITIVE LIKE THESE BIG BOOBS OF MINE. actual villain

[maspers]

I'm greatly entertained by the idea of Kyoko just bringing Makoto along with her to cases for "moral support".

Imagine you hire one of the best murder detectives in the country if not the world, and she's exactly what you expected her to be like. She's clearly highly intelligent, unfazed by the gruesome remains of the corpse, and her process is quick and methodical. But she brought this twink with her, and nobody can figure out why? He just kinda wanders around? And Kyoko Kirigiri tells you to just let him, so you do, and right as it seems like she's beginning to decipher the elaborate murder mechanism used by the killer, this kid falls out of a second story window into a cherry tree in the side yard for no discernable reason. Kirigiri is unsurprised at this.

Two hours later the maid has been arrested after Kirigiri's sidekick returned from the ER with bandages covering his scrapes, talked with Kirigiri for a couple minutes, and then pointed at aforementioned maid dramatically. The police ask Kirigiri for an in-depth explanation, which she readily provides, and even as you listen to her you still can't figure out how exactly her... boyfriend?? was involved in her coming up with the solution, but she claims his insight was really important. Exasperated, you turn and ask him what he did but he just shrugs and sheepishly admits he has no idea.

Then the two of them get picked up by Byakuya freaking Togami in a limousine, and ride off into the sunset. Kirigiri's reputation as a detective continues to reach more ludicrous heights. You wish things made sense.

—— The peach blossoms were all blown away, the springs and autumns had all passed. The clearest understanding came in that single moment within a dream. Life was long and full of drifting. When I woke, I was once again a wanderer. What does it matter how vast the earth is, or how beautiful the spring light is? I cannot ask for it.

Oh my god I got it wrong. Yasuke doesn’t die in Izuru's room (Well, it could be his room, but given they never call it that. They just refer to it as a hide out).

“I think you already got the gist of it, but the Tragedy of Hope’s Peak occurred somewhere in this Old School Building. That’s right: everything. started. right. here.”

This is the building THH takes place in, given we see this room in the first game.

'Accompanied by the sound of rumbling, the wall slid open like an automated door.

Past that entrance was simply a straight, long and narrow passageway. An imposing double door could be seen standing at its end.'

'Kamishiro was pointing toward the corner of the room. There stood a simple elevator like one might see in a factory of some sort.'

This is the Elevator you take for every damn class trial.

'As I staggered out clumsily, I found myself in a massively tall circular chamber, almost like a miniature theater.'

This is the Trial Room.

Yasuke dies in the fucking Trial Room.

The room he tried to kill her in is the same one she gets sentenced to die.

This is probably not news to anyone and people have definitely realized this before, Im definitely the last one to connect the dots. But fuuuuuuuuck. Slow clap for kodaka, he sure knows how bring this shit full circle.

(FANTASTIC prompt for the Matsuda Ghost AU though...)

Solution for the "I was gonna incorporate this into an ask but didn't know how to", to follow with my narcoleptic makoto continuation (you can use that for this) Makoto said " hey gang, tartar sauce 2nite?" And everyone agrees but his narcolepsy makes him pass out before they go, so Aigis is the leader for tonight

anon your brain is huge

Yknow, I know it's really super unlikely (unless there's some kinda funky stuff with Sussmon), but I kinda hope we eventually get playable Unknown God just. Entirely for her voice lines about the Archons.

'Ughhhh even I do not understand how that drunken bard still holds the throne- the utter disrespect he shows the entire process! He didn't partake in a single fight the whole war! Who does that?'

'Twin shenanigans were absolutely fucking cheating, and those assholes knew it... I got rules lawyered by a himbo and a politician...'

'Do. Not. Mention that name to me. Fucking Oceanids...'

'Finally, a respectful Archo- she did what with her gnosis???'

'WHAT THE FUCK DO YOU MEAN 'MAVUIKA PUNCHED A HOLE IN THE SKYBOX'?????'

[oceanwithouthermoon]

no but actually why do people blame kokomi for the existence of the kokomins and the men who are creepy about her? when CANONICALLY, people are more than capable of not being attracted to her for various reasons like being in love with someone else or simply not seeing her that way regardless of sexuality or other factors, why then do people say "oh her power is SO strong that even grown married men and her own brother fall for her"? its not because her "power" is so strong. it has nothing to do with her. its because those men are dickheads, and its baffling that people want to shift the blame onto her.

After reading a fanfic called Another Side: Sporting Hopefuls, I’ve constantly had Celeste X Chihiro on the brain. Is it ok if you draw them, I love your art style and I’d love to see them shipped together more often?

Makoto's survivor's guilt did not first emerge after Sayaka's death or Leon's trial. It emerged way, way before. Before the Killing Game even started.

It first emerged when the headmaster put the 78th class under lockdown.

Imagine how much of a distressing time it was. You're staying safe behind the walls of Hope's Peak Academy, provided for your every need by the headmaster, who has promised to protect you with all his life, while your loved ones outside are to be left at the mercy of an extremely chaotic world.

And you couldn't even have the chance to bring them along with you, to keep them close to you behind these safe walls.

Whenever Makoto eats fresh and delicious food in the dining hall, he feels guilty. What if his family's starving and couldn't shop at the nearest groceries at the risk of being killed?

Whenever Makoto lays on his comfortable bed, he feels guilty. What if his house gets demolished at night while his family's still inside, sleeping?

Whenever Makoto contacts his family, he feels guilty. He often ends up crying and apologizes constantly for 'abandoning' them. His family tries assuring him there isn't anything more that can be done and 'it's just the way things are'. They encourage him to stay safe and they'll try the same.

Also, it doesn't help his mental state that the headmaster often reminds the students that they're the 'final hope' that are destined to 'serve the foundation for a new era'. He tells them it's necessary to isolate them, the 'superiour youth', from the 'corrupted world'.

Then Makoto starts wondering. 'Final hope', 'superior youth' - do these titles even apply to an average, ordinary person like him? And what about his loved ones who are also average, ordinary people like him? Why are they cast aside to the corrupted world? Do their lives matter less than the Ultimates' lives? Do their lives matter less than his now just because he happened to win the lottery and got into Hope's Peak?

Also, remember this interview?

When the headmaster says that he might have to stay in the school forever, and if he accepts that.

Do you remember his response?

A half-hearted "...Yes".

And also, "Well, I mean... we don't have much of a choice, do we?"

It's like he has given up. He holds almost no hope that he would ever reunite with his family. He holds almost no hope of ever returning to a world where things have been better.

He has given up at this moment!

And this- this is where it all began!

This is the onset of Makoto's survivor's guilt.
