Alright

I believe that both Junko & Mukuro were born on an American military base, are a stand in for american imperialism/manifest destiny and are likely WASP Americans.

NOW BEFORE YOU THINK I'M TOTALLY WHACK FOR THIS, JUST HEAR ME OUT!

For starters, Mukuro clearly went to a Western Military Academy {Fenrir} & in that one piece of official art where she is in uniform, the uniform in question bears a striking resemblance to something worn by the U.S Marines and it does not align with any JSDF military gear.

Second, Mukuro Ikusaba & Junko Enoshima are clearly not their actual names. They are aliases. The name "Mukuro" itself means "Corpse," and frankly, that is a name no parent would ever give their child, and the two sisters lack a shared surname {Both of which are clearly not average surnames, considering Ikusaba is "Battleblade" and Enoshima is the name of an Island that is a popular tourist destination}. With this information, we can conclude that their actual surnames could be anything, perhaps even something like "Ellenbogen" or "Vanderpump."

Third, these girls look whiter than the devil. I know that Junko's Ultimate in Japanese is the "Ultimate Gyaru" which is a subculture that has western influence and that mixed people can turn out incredibly white passing, and I speak from experience as a white passing mixed person myself. But like, we dont know where their parents came from, Junko and Mukuro dont really have concrete backstories explaining how they turned out the way they did, and this just allows for creative headcanons. And the way I see them from my personal lens is that they are the epitome of stereotypical white privilege, born and raised on a military base, believing in american superiority & ready to commit manifest destiny through spreading despair and causing the great tragedy.

4th and final point, in the english dub of the danganronpa anime {I dislike it, but just this feeds the headcanon} they gave Junko what I can only describe as the "Stereotypical White Girl/Valley Girl Accent Cranked Up To 100", and as much as this is debatable considering it is the english dub, I will use this as part of my headcanon.

In conclusion, the despair sisters are peak Pumpkin Spice Latte, Unseasoned Chicken Breast, American Flag levels of white.

Thank you for coming to my Headcanon TED Talk, and I am sure this isn't the wildest headcanon you've seen.

Honorable Mention: Some of my friends repeatedly refer to Junko Enoshima as "Jemima Ellenbogen" as that is the collective headcanon we have surrounding her "actual name".

Disclaimer! This is just my headcanon, and I beg of you not to flame me for it!

Please please dont tell me I was the only one confused on Edgin's class due to his lack of casting visible spells, I feel so silly. I also didn't pay attention to any promo highlighting that he was a bard; I only saw the trailers. For all I knew I thought he was a rogue that happened to have a lute proficiency. I mean, the Harpers were described as spies/thieves and everything.

guys IGF is FUCKED UP we're in ERROR combat and the GM is making references to the fucking OTHER CAMPAIGN most of the party plays together on a different day. Why the fuck are Rem and Pyre here they should be in Lancing Dawn not IGF

Okay, review time!! If you are one of the oddballs who thinks you cant be critical of something you love I suggest you stop reading now before I ruffle your feathers. Iron flame, second in the empyrean series. I am gonna start with what I was not a fan of and then go into the shit I adored.

1) what in the actual fuck was the pacing of this book?? I can tell you what, it was non existent. There was none. Where I thought there was a lot of filler in the last book there was none in this one. We got snap shots of conversations and then *boom* more plot flew at you. The timeline of this book greatly suffered for it i think bc we end only a couple weeks, if that, after threshing, which happens sometimes in October. This book was actually so wild with times.

2) while it was a spectacular cliff hanger, xaden becoming venin pisses me off. Especially if Rebecca yarros isnt going to have him tell violet. Like if that small tid bit of a conversation we got wasnt him telling vi that he was venin then the entire romantic conflict of this book was rendered pointless and their going to be having the same fucking fight for the rest of the series and at rhat point I give up.

3) I understand that the revolution is trying to take down basgaith and make the world better or whatever the fuck but can someone actually formulate a real plan for me?? Because I feel like their mission is just, giving violet and xaden something to be pissed at each other about.

4) the entirety of cats character. I get that she was set up as a spin on the typical jealous ex. Like having her be bitter about xaden picking violet over her but OH WAIT it wasnt actually about the man it was about the crown, oohh not like other girls. Im a writer too I see the point. I dont care. I think it was trashy. If you wanted her to be a bitter spiteful ex then have her be a bitter spiteful ex, the whole crown thing was shallow.

OKAY haters your time is up now onto the shit that made my heart hurt with joy and sadness

1) xadens arc in this book. I really liked that he went from "transparency is never gonna happen" to losing his fucking mind over violet and giving her everything. I love feral men and he qualifies. I think his arc was really well done and i liked it.

2) I appericiate that violet stuck to her guns for this book. She wouldnt let xaden off without a fight and I loved that. She made him bow and scrape and I was eating it up. It was spectacular.

3) the throne room scene. Violet on the throne. "Im making a temporary point not a lasting vow of maschocism" xaden being feral.

4) that gets its own point actually, just xaden being completely feral this entire book healed a part of my soul.

5) andarna's little speech at the end where she was like "I waited for you violet" made me ugly cry. That was just so hopelessly good I loved it. Andarna in general heals my heart but that part was just *chefs kiss*

6) tarin being completely and utterly ready to eat people this entire book. Just, at every turn "I want lunch their pissing me off " was spectacular

7) every scene their squad was in. Rihannon, violet, sawyer and ridoc are my roman empire. Their bond is so amazing. The fact that they launched a rescue mission for violet. Rihannon being ready to kill xaden at every turn. Ridoc being so platonically and adorably in love with violet. Just- augh happy cries happy cries. I love it all. Their so special tbh.

8) I love xaden actually, just, the whole book every scene hes in lives in my brain.

9) I liked that we saw a small bit of violet being feral this book too. I hope that we get more of that in future books. I want more of violet losing her fucking mind. Hot, badass women covered in blood

10) Liam. Fucking Liam. When violet was kidnapped and Liam was there. Now, do I logically understand that he was a hallucination, yes, do i care?? No. He was a gift from Maleck I will be hearing no critiques on that. It was so fucking sweet and amazing. I love violet and Liam and Liam being dead so horribly breaks my heart. I loved Liam. Liams death lives rent free in my skull.

Where is Ridoc fanfiction?

I want something like he is infatuated with a medic that refuses to sleep with him because they are friends, but she completely adores him and Aotrom to the point even his dragon is confused by this human that is not afraid to talk to him and pet his leg like she is hugging a human friend

I want him losing his funny facade and maybe yelling at her for something silly like her telling him she has her eyes on some other rider and Aotrom is in the back like hehehehe you are fucked mate

oh boy !! ! ! ! !!! ! thANK y0u all for the kind words on my last art posts. you all get it and i was/still am so happy about it

as promised, here's some close-ups of the comic for image quality's sake, and other screenshots i rescued from the community whiteboard (and something else)

first up another sketch of mystery gender-ambiguous being. (please send me more name ideas for them if you got one- i like to hear em! (reminder it's the side character that appeared for <10 seconds in AvM Ep. 30))

a few fav scenes

emotional support cwab

they weren't meant for this purpose exactly, but i do have countless "fluffy sticks" loose in my notes and homework sheets from the school years.

papery critter.

even when i wasn't confident in fur or feathers, they helped me practice posing and create some satisfying gradients/flowing poses. (im a sucker for good tail poses) (oh yay! i found a good pic...)

and finally, little sneak peak for you for reading so far ;3

i realized that whiteboardfox is pretty great for my working needs. simple and to the point and all. feels nice with the mouse and the tablet.

so i started hashing out a big project idea just to see if it holds up and

"mepad should be fine!! cobs would've only pierced his battery!! all they have to do is replace it-" WRONG! thermal runaway attack

[curiouscalamitys]

Re-reading Fourth Wing and Iron Flame, knowing Xaden's second signet, makes all of his interactions so nuanced.

I'm at the part where Varrish is trying to take Violet for the torture test, and Xaden is telling her that Varrish plans to use it as an opportunity to kill her for the embarrassment Tairn put him through. And Violet is like, "You can't possibly know that." Oh, but he can and does know that.

[krispypajamalady]

Everyone is talking about how sad it would be if Xaden or Tairn or Sgaeyl or Andarna die.

Imagine if it is Violet.

No because if that happens, I swear to all gods that I will hold a small funeral procession for her myself. And I'm gonna cry harder than I ever have for any character.

anyone else hear those wedding chimes 😊😊
