#Pre-Despair: Hope's Peak Academy verse

[more-than-a-princess]

@cantillat asked: "New year's kiss" for Shirou (if there is a spot and you feel like it)

Send me 'New Years Kiss' to have a New year's kiss at midnight. - No Longer Accepting!

"Shirou-san!" Sonia called, skidding to a stop in the doorway of the Emiya kitchen. Partially out of breath, she'd been rushing from the other bedrooms where she'd left Rin, Sakura, and Miss Taiga. She'd done all she could to help them into their kimono, following their verbal directions to assist with folds and knots and bows they couldn't reach. But she was no expert and, being the only one of them still in western clothing, it had been her task to find out where Shirou had gone off to.

She hadn't needed to look far: the kitchen was good bet, as it was his task (that is, if any of them wanted a delicious meal that early morning) to prepare the toshikoshi soba. "Tohsaka-san and Fujimura-sama have been asking as to if you're nearly ready to leave: they want to go to the temple before eating noodles, as it is, as of now, officially the new year!"

She grinned, despite the bustling household and the shouting exchanged between the two women while Sakura watched, accepting Sonia's help without complaint. They hadn't found a kimono set that would fit her, not with Sonia's height, but she hadn't minded: she felt far more useful to them tonight than at a party in Novoselic, engaging in society gossip while she waited for the fireworks display. The next day was always full of speeches and the formal brunch: more official duties she was more than happy to miss that year.

She could exchange, perhaps, one set of traditions for another.

"Oh! And of course, that reminds me," She exclaimed before moving to press a kiss to his cheek. "As it's the new year and all: Happy New Year, Shirou-san! Though I think Tohsaka-san might have a fit if we don't start our walk to the temple soon."

"You know, I'm not sure I want to know how Souda-san managed to send White Day chocolates that are this bizarre," Mahiru complained, having spit out half of a gear-shaped chocolate into her napkin. Inside, candy popping crystals had fizzled on her tongue like soda, a feeling so unpleasant she couldn't even swallow the chocolate itself, as delicious as it was. Beside her, Hiyoko snickered, tossing her own White Day chocolates from Kazuichi into the nearby rubbish bin: obligatory, of course. For everyone except Sonia, whose own White Day gift was a mix of chocolate-shaped gears and hearts with more popping crystals inside, along with a folded note that, yet again, had begged her for a date with him.

Sonia winced at her friend's reaction: at least they were edible, to some degree, and didn't smell of oil and grease as Kazuichi himself so often did. An offense to her nostrils, though she tried to politely keep enough distance between them to spare her nose and her patience alike.

"I'm betting that Ruruka-san owed him a favor!" Hiyoko sneered, propping her chin up with one hand. "You have to feel a little bad for her, having to make something so gross for that greaseball. You're not going to try them are you, Sonia-san?"

Sonia gave them, and Ibuki (though she was too busy being both surrounded by chocolates and strumming her guitar to provide feedback on Kazuichi's chocolate), an apologetic smile. "No, I think not...they seem rather risky to eat, where one's taste buds are concerned," She decided, setting the bag back into the tote with the others. She'd come prepared that year: without a romantic relationship to speak of, there were quite a few students who hadn't bothered to hold back in giving her a White Day present in exchange for her Valentine's chocolates. Truth be told, she wasn't quite sure what to do with them all: she loved sweets, but she couldn't eat that much of it. Valentine's Day had defeated her, and even now she wondered if she might share some of the flavors she didn't care for, plum-filled pastries for example, with others. "Still, the gesture is what counts. Though perhaps not another proposition for a date."

"Yes well, he's a lot of things, including persistent," Mahiru sighed, shaking her head. But all four girls glanced over when they heard the approaching footsteps, saw the approaching shadow. A girl from one of the other main course classes carried a dessert, or so it must have been considering the raised stand it was set on. Striking, if not sharp, enough to garner the attention of most of the students in the courtyard, she stopped beside their table and inquired after her name.

"Yes?" She asked, setting her bags aside on the bench beside her to make space at the courtyard table, "This is for me? Thank you very much! But what in the world, who in the world would-"

But the girl didn't wait around to answer her questions. She left as quickly and efficiently as she'd arrived with little in the way of enthusiasm. Leaving the four girls from Class 77-B, Ibuki now intrigued with her guitar set aside, to peer over the elaborate dessert.

"So it's a cookie...and a cake? I'm not sure if that's safe or school appropriate, to be carrying a knife like that through the courtyard," Mahiru was the first to assess it, followed by a snort from Hiyoko.

"Looks pretty weird to me! Who serves a dessert for White Day with a knife in it?" She grimaced as Sonia reached for the knife itself, gently pulling it free from the cake. The ganache, in turn, began to seep out the open wound, causing the Ultimate Traditional dancer and Ultimate Photographer to both shriek.

"Oh, behold it everyone! See how morbidly charming it is," Sonia beamed. Usually such kind, cooing words were left to animals or children, though her warmth was now directed at the dessert. Holding what looked like a 'bleeding' knife in one hand, she dipped the tip of her index finger of her opposite hand into the sweet and tangy-scented ooze, gathering a bit of it on her finger before bringing it to her lips. "Dark chocolate....and wine," She decided with a nod, the knife in her hand bobbing as she did so. "A good consistency for blood, with chocolate syrup used in early horror productions. It is as delightfully macabre as it is delicious!"

"Whoa, look at it go!" Ibuki exclaimed, watching the ganache continue to spill onto the tray of the cake stand with zeal. "Hey Sonia-chan! With the cake and that knife, you're totally giving Ibuki a song idea! Ibuki's got it now: 'My boyfriend knocked me up and ran off with another woman so I stabbed him in the heart 20 times!'"

"Why do so many of your songs feature pregnancy, Ibuki-chan," Mahiru muttered, though she was quickly cut off by a flustered Hiyoko, cheeks reddened and puffed out in disgust.

"Eww...who sends a bleeding heart for White Day? It's creepy! The only person who could do that would be Breeder B-" Even Hiyoko knew when to stop, at least where Sonia and her failed past relationships were concerned. Mahiru and Ibuki both shot stern looks towards their friend before the former turned her attention towards Sonia with a sympathetic gaze.

"It's...it's fine," She swallowed. Her smile had faltered as soon as Hiyoko had insisted it was a creepy offering and remained when she'd mentioned him. "Gun...that is, Tanaka-san and I agreed not to participate in Valentine's Day or White Day with each other this year. After the events of last year. It would not be sent from him."

"Besides, that's not what's important!" Sonia continued. The more time she spent discussing him, the more concerned her friends would become. And an elegant chocolate dessert was the perfect method of distraction. "What's important is that this is lovely! I adore it, even if there is no indication as to who sent it."

"It has to be from a boy," Hiyoko nodded, squinting down at the dessert as if she'd be able to hypothesize the sender just by staring.

"But it could be from a lady, you know?" Ibuki chimed in thoughtfully with a grin. "A present from the world of girl love! It's slippery when wet!"

"Don't be silly, Ibuki-chan," Hiyoko rolled her eyes, Mahiru nodding in agreement. "Girls see Sonia-san as a rival, not a lover. What girl wants to date a princess? Totally unappealing: Sonia-san's the super girly type, and you're expected to date boys anyway, right Sonia-san?"

She wasn't sure how to respond to that: Sonia was used to having her life picked apart and analyzed by just about everyone. Her family, her nation, the press, social media, to name a few: it was as royal as the Crown Jewels and the annual Christmas card she posed for with her family. But personal interest that, in theory, was in contrast with expectation and duty? That was far less expected, at least beyond her hobbies. She gulped: in truth, she hadn't even considered the gift being from a girl, as elaborate as it was: it was practically a declaration of love, delivered in the gothic romantic style she found alluring. Girls, like Hiyoko had said, didn't take an interest in her that way, didn't they? They befriended her and she them, or they simpered and sniped and fought the way ladies were most commonly taught: through words and gossip and emotional attacks. Hiyoko herself was a master at that.

Sonia's cheeks reddened, though a smile and a look of contemplation waged war on her mouth: was it okay if such an elaborate gift was from a girl? Posing such a question to those at home had a clear answer, but-

She'd opened her mouth to reply to Hiyoko, but Sonia didn't have a chance. They were interrupted again, by a male voice this time. "Nevermind-san?" He asked, accenting her last name the way many students at Hope's Peak did: the western surname proved a challenge to elucidate at times, but she still understood. Looking over, she found a shy smile, a tall stature, black hair with a slight wave to it and an equally black school uniform: he stood out garishly in the courtyard, now filled with the first signs of spring and a sea of brown, Main Course uniforms.

"Yes, that's me. How may I help you?"

He smiled, perhaps a bit too comfortably for someone who didn't belong in the courtyard, or on the campus in general. He wore the Reserve Course uniform to the letter, barring the tie bar on his black tie: adorned with a crest, and Sonia guessed it was a family design. Uniforms were only as special, she knew, as the methods one used to differentiate themselves from the others. This was his. "I'm Hasegawa-san, Hasegawa Keitaro-san. I wanted to tell you myself, but liked the show, of sorts, of having your gift delivered anonymously. I sent you that dessert: you like horror movies, do you not?"

"I-I do!" She stammered in return. She was so often discouraged about discussing her hobbies abroad that they were mostly shared in the company of friends: her classmates and otherwise. All of her horror-themed attire and memorabilia was confined to her dormitory suite in Japan: unless he spoke to someone she knew, how did he even find out? Then again, his name did sound familiar...perhaps from one of her more recent visit to meet members of Japan's House of Representatives. She could've sworn she'd been introduced to a man who looked like an older version of Keitaro. "Yes, I do. Thank you, it's exactly the flavors and style I enjoy!"

"Oh, wonderful! That's excellent, I hoped you would," He replied, his shy smile slowly being replaced with a more confident one. "It's just that...well, I've been trying to work up the courage to ask you on a proper date for months and felt that, maybe, a White Day treat you liked would be a way to do it! If that's all right with you?"

The other girls watched with rapt attention, Hiyoko with no shortage of self-satisfaction as the scene unfolded. It was already so very kind of him to send her a wonderful gift, it would be terrible if he had to be subjected to her friends' conjectures regarding the cake. "It's Sonia-san here at Hope's Peak, not Nevermind-san," She smiled. "Especially for someone who understands my interests so well already."

"Sonia-san, if we stay outside, the cake filling might harden from the cold," Mahiru interjected, her smile awkward as she verbally cut in between the Reserve Course student's bold gesture and Sonia's delight. "And you promised Chiaki-san you'd continue with the majority of the sakura viewing party plans. Maybe...you could eat it inside with us?"

"Oh, that is an excellent point, I cannot neglect my responsibilities," Sonia nodded, turning back to Keitaro with a small shrug. "I'm sorry. I should like to continue our conversation further, but if we are to arrange a time and place for a date, it may be best to use SMS. My number is here," She reached for her mobile to show him her own number on the screen. Which he didn't hesitate to add, something none of the girls could ignore.

"Perfect, I'll message you then so you'll have mine and to make arrangements!" He grinned, giving her a small wave. "Thank you, Sonia-san. Please do enjoy your cake with your friends!"

He left abruptly, leaving the four 77-B girls to gather their belongings, Sonia carefully placing the knife back into the cake before putting the lid back on the stand. It would take some balance and care to get it back to the classroom without the filling dripping down the side: she didn't want to scare Mikan with it. The last Sonia had seen, the Ultimate Nurse had spent her lunch hour in the classroom and a dripping mix of chocolate and wine, especially on Sonia's hands, would likely propel a quick use of her talent when there was no injury at all.

"You look free. I thought you'd be busy all day, Shinobu-chan." Anzu sat down at Shinobu's side at the courtyard table, popping a handful of chocolates into her mouth. "What about White Day?" In response, Shinobu shrugged. "It's no longer feasible for me to deliver personally, and after the events of Valentine's Day, I have no great desire to see many of the girls to whom I owe reciprocal gifts." An obnoxious day indeed, the repercussions of which were still being felt at Hope's Peak Academy.

"So... what? You just skipped out?" To Anzu, that didn't sound much like her friend at all. What about the bonds of reciprocity or whatever? "Not exactly." Realizing that reading likely wouldn't happen with Anzu around, Shinobu shut closed their book and looked to her. "I gave my White Day chocolates to Miss Suzuki and Miss Nitta of our school, and Miss Iida and Miss Hirano of the neighboring schools, and asked them to make sure everyone got something."

That seemed pretty unromantic as far as Anzu was concerned, and with more than a little potential for disaster. "And, you think that's gonna work?" Shinobu pursed her lips and gave a small hum. "My expectation is that they will want to impress me by performing a favor. Furthermore, that there are two each means I should be able to trust that no one is going to run off with the entirety." It would get back to her if someone did. Accountability and obligation were strong motivators. The possibility of discrediting a romantic rival even more so.

Across the courtyard, Sonia was sitting with her friends, and not far past that, Shinobu could see Ayaka passing through the school gate carrying an ornate cake stand with a lid. "Well, as long as it works," Anzu said with a shrug, pulling the book out of Shinobu's hands to turning it around. "This looks kind of boring," she muttered. "Hey, if you're looking for something to read, Shinobu-chan, I've-" "Anzu." Shinobu's eyes flicked to Anzu for only a moment, her lips curling into a small frown, before she looked back across the school grounds. "Please be quite for a minute or two."

Although the dessert she'd made wasn't necessarily Ayaka's usual fare, it would be hard for anyone to deny its quality. A generous budget, a clear vision, and enough lead time to acquire a variety of expensive ingredients, sourced personally from Novoselic, France, and high-end Japanese farms, made sure of that. Still, it wasn't like Ayaka Sato to make a big deal out of things, and her tone was blunt as she stopped in front of Sonia and her friends. "Sonia-san?"

From the table across the courtyard, Anzu squinted. "Hey, isn't that Ayaka-san?" "Anzu." Shinobu's voice was sharp, imploring her friend to be quiet. For Ayaka's part, it seemed any indication that she had the right girl was enough for her, setting the stand on the table in front of her. "Anonymous delivery from Akagi Bakery." Once she'd ensured that the stand was secure and the delivery complete, it seemed as though she had no more reason to be there. "Enjoy."

Atop the stand was a large dark chocolate cookie, a perfect circle, that covered nearly the entire width of it. Pristine straight lines of white had been meticulously worked in to exact specifications, layering an ominous pale pentagram over the otherwise-black cookie. Firm enough to hold its shape even when applied a bit of weight, but with an inner softness that practically melted in one's mouth. The cookie itself, though, while impressive, was merely a vessel upon which to deliver the true dessert.

Positioned right in the center of the pentagram was a small, heart-shaped chocolate cake, surrounded and partially covered on top by red and white strawberries, sliced and arranged into floral patterns. A large knife, truthfully much larger than needed for such a cake, stuck straight upwards, the handle nearly touching at the inside of the lid. When pulled free, brought down, or otherwise moved from its position, the knife would reveal the last conceit of the cake - a warm, rich ganache made with dark chocolate and red wine, lent a brilliant dark red color by its ingredients, that flowed out in a way particularly reminiscent of blood. Some faint drizzling of the ganache over top of the cake completed the presentation.

"Whoa," Anzu whispered. "That's pretty fancy." Slowly, like a predator careful not to frighten its prey, she swiveled her head to stare down her friend. "I wonder who would have thought to ask for Ayaka-san's help." Shinobu's face was blank, giving as little away as possible, as they shrugged. "Miss Sato always accepts a great deal of Valentine's and White Day orders. It's not so unusual."

"Uh huh." Leaning forward, chin resting on her hands, Anzu squinted. "You're really not fooling anyone, Shinobu-chan." Shinobu frowned, yanking back her book, but making no attempts to begin reading once more. "Those television shows you like have poisoned your brain, Anzu. I have no idea what you're talking about." Even so, while she certainly wished to return to her book and otherwise put the day behind her, Shinobu found herself wondering what Sonia's reaction would be. Would she hate it? Find it strange? Refuse altogether? Or, perhaps...

When Shirou had asked her to conveniently fabricate a Royal reason not to be expected back in the Hope’s Peak dorms that evening, Sonia had guessed that he wanted to introduce her to a new recipe or two over a film marathon. Rin and Sakura didn’t much care for the horror movies Sonia herself loved, and so she’d supposed that her friend had planned a meal and some scary movies. Perhaps with a gore or torture theme, or something with supernatural beasts and spirits.

To her surprise and utter delight, he hadn’t planned for either (though she suspected once they were through, he’d have a plan for some sort of quick meal. Shirou Emiya did not seem to be the type to let anyone go hungry). No, he’d insisted she wear clothing comfortable, warm, and easy to move in, and that he’d answer her questions once they arrived. At nearly eleven at night, most houses on the street had dimmed their lights, their occupants tucked safely in their beds while two teenagers now climbed a tall gate overwrought with vines and branches. No one had thought to see to the upkeep of the derelict home, and once Sonia shined the light of her mobile phone upon it she understood why.

“This is a true murder house, is it not?” She grinned as she jumped from the top of the fence to the tall grass below, where Shirou had jumped first and was waiting for her. As careful as she could, she landed into his outstretched hands, using his shoulders to stabilize herself before regaining her balance. The combat boots, so often used in her military training, had been a good choice of footwear for this expedition. “I’ve read about this, in books about 20th Century Japanese crime. This is that home, where in the 1950s a man was driven to insanity, possibly from his job, or the fact his wife was rumored to have an affair, or both. And as such, one night he came home and killed her, their two children, and then himself: from what I read, only the family cat remained, to cry and cry until their neighbors found their bodies strewn about the house the next morning. But furthermore, no new occupants could move in without moving out shortly after, claiming horrors of their own. No matter how low the sellers tried to sell it for, apparently it was put back on the market just as quickly as it was taken off, for years until...no one wished to try to tame it anymore.”

She’d told the story in a low whisper as they traipsed through the yard, or what was left of it. It looked more like a forest, with the front walk reclaimed by nature just like most of the exteriors. She’d helped him carry something, though she’d been instructed not to look within the black nylon bag until they arrived. But the more Sonia thought on it as they made their way to the back of the house, the more it was likely that it held equipment. Equipment for them to live their own horror film as opposed to just watching it.

And that made her heart beat faster, her smile grow wider, and her eyes sparkle the way most girls her age did when they received a new dress or pair of shoes. The only thing more exciting than her favorite films was bringing them to life, or at least being given the possibility to imagine a world of ghosts, of demons, and of magic too. If she was to never receive her Hogwarts letter and disappear to a special school where such things were real, then Hope’s Peak, a normal Japanese schoolgirl life, and new friends who understood her hobbies and loves was perfectly wonderful. 

“How should we enter?” She muttered. Their instincts had been right: the house did indeed have a back door, one that would garner much less attention than the main entrance. But like the front, it was securely locked. Most likely in order to prevent people like them, those who believed in spirits and wished to make contact of their very own, from having that experience. “I could try to get in and simply remind law enforcement of my diplomatic immunity if we are caught. As much as I enjoy breaking plenty of rules in order to find the restless spirits who may reside here, I would not wish for you to get in trouble, Shirou-san.”

     All await her grand entrance into a new world,     a wholesome invite to what truly describes her characteristics. How fairly simple it was ‘  infiltrating  ’ this academy who promises a grand future. Sounds far more exciting than boringly getting away with explosions and murders! Softly humming to herself, the Ultimate Fashionista walks throughout these empty hallways in search of fun. Oh, how boring it simply was watching her own classmates mess around like ignorant children. Peaceful scenes weren’t her cup of tea as a gnawing sensation choked her throat. Suffocating inside a prison was almost thrilling in its own right but cruel and unusual punishment. No good, no good is this sight living to its rawest potential. Only one discovery made Junko practically wet herself with pure pleasure, drooling and fawning underneath his footstep. Izuru Kamukura shall spark the ultimate despairingly chaotic massacre in humankind’s history!

     Red fingernails dug into her palms through impatience,     awaiting for something unpredictable to hit her in the face. Surely enough the model is greeted with a familiar sight. As she analyzes throughout that massive despairingly good mind, blue hues nearly lit up over the destruction this pathetic breeder could do. Such wasted talent over birthing new animals instead of training them to cause ruin in a city ...     well the Ultimate Despair Fashionista can fix that!     ❝     TA-NA-KA-SAAAN~ Oh, don’t give me that weird look. Of course I would know your name because after all ...     we’re going to be fun classmates together until we graduate! Well it looks like you’re going to be leaving soon. Excited? Miserable? Regretting it all? Do tell me~     ❞

@theholylight liked [+] for a starter.

   Is he growing frustrated? The more concise answer to that question would be a resounding yes however he isn’t quite certain why he finds irritation nibbling at his mind. Could it be Sonia’s incessant desire to involve him in activities? Or perhaps it is how often his time with her is cut short by another person thrusting themselves upon them, usually the mechanic but not always. Or maybe it is this niggling feeling that he is just some sideshow attraction to her.

   The bubbly, bright princess fascinated by the dark, brooding commoner who pretends to be so much more. A little fling into the shadowy side of the world just to satiate some rebellious need to fight back against the expectations thrust upon her. The connection makes sense in his mind. She does act like a tourist on many occasions, looking at the world with this trivial fascination. He can’t help but think she’ll file all of this away in some sort of vacation-esque photo album once she gets home. A fond period filled with interesting distraction but nothing meant to last.

   A gloomy thought, he is aware, but he can’t stop himself. He knows he should not meet her kindness with such distrust and doubt but that has been his life. Connections that lead to betrayal and pain. How could he not seek fault in whatever good is placed before him?

   “Do you truly require my presence?” Gundham asks, watching Sonia work with that excited enthusiasm she always has. He tries so hard to keep the annoyance from his tone but it slips through, his words sounding harsher than they should. “You appear to have everything well in hand.”

Some HC’s for my Danganronpa verse! WARNING. CONTAINS SOME DISTURBING DETAILS AFTER THE SECOND ICON. TW FOR DEATH, GORE & SELF-HARM.

All right, first things first: Shadow’s not immortal in this verse. He also wasn’t created by Gerald and has no connection to aliens. Just a normal hedgehog but with a very special talent ✨

He’s the ‘Ultimate Marksman’ and earned his place at Hope’s Peak Academy after winning numerous skeet-shooting and archery competitions with perfect scores. He’s always trying to set new world records and push himself even further ( the teachers pressure him quite a bit so you can usually find him at the school dojo or gym... yes, even at 3am. )

The money he earns from the competitions goes to his adopted family ( Maria & Professor Gerald ) Maria can’t attend school because she’s ill with rare disease that keeps weakening her immune system more & more as time passes. Gerald’s working hard on finding a cure for her, but he knows time is growing short. Even a common cold could be fatal for her, so Shadow can only see her on scheduled hospital visits once a month.

Despite appearing on TV and even giving a few interviews, Shadow’s not very good at holding a conversation. He likes company but he’s so incredibly shy he usually won’t approach new people.

He’s very innocent and humble, always putting others first. But he often gets teased for it because people think his personality doesn’t really match his talent or appearance.

He’s also a bit forgetful so he often writes down important dates or other things he needs to remember on his notepad or phone.

Hobbies? He loves plants 🌱

While pre-despair Shadow is very soft, you don’t want to cross paths with him after the Tragedy happened. While he did try to defend the school when the Parade happened, he left when things started going really bad outside the school, making his way back to his family but quickly realizing he has to fight his way through a very angry crowd. 

Arming himself with a simple handgun, he was forced to hurt people ( but still trying to avoid shooting them in any vital places ) as they had gone completely insane, killing others and causing chaos everywhere.

After arriving to the hospital, he was met with a very gruesome sight. Blood everywhere, screams, flickering lights. And then.. he saw the dead, mutilated bodies of the patients, doctors and.. Maria & Gerald.

... Realizing he no longer had any family or friends, he fell into deep depression, wanting to end it right there. But even if he harmed himself, his anger stopped him from committing suicide. Because he wanted to know WHY this all happened.

In a new ‘anti-talent’ world that despised the Ultimates, Shadow has a lot of enemies and people wanting him dead simply because he attended Hope’s Peak Academy.

Accepting that he could no longer avoid killing, Shadow convinced himself that it’s mercy and he’s.. definitely not as insane as others.

He’s close to giving into despair, but not yet, because he doesn’t actually enjoy the horrible things he’s doing and still disagrees with Junko’s twisted ideology.

[kitty-does-stuff]

you like homestuck? why not try ___

(reblogs > likes, if you read this all and think to yourself that you should check out one of the things i talked about then why not reblog and share with others?)

hiya so ain’t a normal post for this blog, think of it like a youtube video but text (i’d make this a video but i don’t have a good mic & idk how to edit), anyways this is a start to a series of posts i’ll sometimes make, the point of this series is to point some fandoms at other pieces of work like the thing that fandom likes, so like in this post i’ll talk about other pieces of work that homestuck fans might like

anyways most of the post is under the cut cause it might be a long but i’ll show the 1st 2 that way you can see if you like my reasoning, also i haven’t seen every piece of media ever so i might miss some things so feel to add in a reblog

(also the numbers i use aren’t to show the quality, it’s just what came to mind 1st)

1: borderlands

ok tbh this game is why i made this post, this game series has a lot of the same kinds of humour (though borderlands doesn’t to what i can recall have any ablest jokes or the stuff like that), it’s a very fun game  series even for those who most of the time don’t like shooters as it’s kinda like what would happen if overwatch’s fun shooting mechanics had a baby with diablo 2‘s skill trees

the story is really great, taking a lot of cues(and names) from greek legends, also a hot tip, you really don’t need to play the 1st game, just start at borderlands 2 then go to pre sequel and then tales from the borderlands and you should be fine

also there are quite a few lgbtq+ characters (including a canon lesbian relationship that can end in marriage, i say can as it’s a part of a game where what you say and do can have things end in other ways), and there is also a lot of room for oc making as it takes place in it;s very own world that has a lot of things no other story really has

2: Undertale/Deltarune

ok you most likely know about at least Undertale but hey this is my post and i get to add what i want. anyways Undertale’s story is this: once a upon a time monsters and humans both lived above the ground but one day a war started, humans with their determination sealed the monsters deep beneath Mount Ebott, creating a barrier only a human soul could pass, one day a child climbs Mount Ebott and falls into the undergrond, the way this tale ends is up to the player

ok so there are quite a few characters that you get to know well, they all have backstorys that are quite the tales, there is canon lgbtq+ characters (including a canon relationship with two of the woman characters, a non binary protag and trans coded characters),

it’s also a very funny game and the story is one of the best story's i’ve ever heard, also if you like the music of homestuck then you’re gonna love this game’s music as it was made by toby fox (some of his songs from homestuck are: Black, Descend, Savior of the Waking World, MeGaLoVania, ect)

now Deltarune isn’t a full game yet and only chapter 1 is out rn but if you’ve already played Undertale then give this a go

3: My Hero Academia

ok so a lot of you already know about this anime but i still feel i should about it. So the show’s plot is about a world where most people have superpowers called Quirks, the main character (named Izuku Midoriya) has the dream of be coming a superhero like his role model All Might but he has a problem: he was born without a Quirk, the show has him slowly learn how to be a hero, make new friends and fight evil

there are a lot of characters so if you liked the bigger cast size of homestuck then this will be great. the fights are very well done and the super powers are well done, there is also a lot of room to make oc’s so if you liked making oc’s this show should be great for you

you can find this wherever you stream/watch anime

4: danganronpa

did you like the murder in homestuck? wish there was more and it was somehow more nuts? well then these games (plus anime and book or two) are for you!

the 1st game story is this: you are Makoto Naegi, a student of Hope's Peak Academy, who finds himself trapped in a game of mutual killing among his peers, in Hope's Peak Academy everyone is some kind of Ultimate (of skills or things like being a robot), Makoto Naegi is the Ultimate Lucky Student witch is a Ultimate given out in a lottery

the games have a lot of unique characters and a story about as messed up as homestuck, there are also canon lgbtq+ characters but for the most part most are only coded (and the ones that are canon don’t uh really get any happy endings), also due the whole Ultimate thing there’s a lot of room for oc making

here’s the order that you’ll wanna use (bolded means you need to see or else later things won’t make sense anything else is just a plus): Danganronpa: Trigger Happy Havoc > Makoto Naegi Secret File > Danganronpa Kirigiri (may not be canon) >  Danganronpa: Togami (not canon, also just save yourself from wasting time and don’t read it, it sucks) > Danganronpa 2: Goodby Dispair >  Danganronpa: Trigger Happy Havoc IF (non canon) >  Danganronpa Zero >  Danganronpa Another Episode: Ultra Despair Girls > Ultra Despair Hagakure > Danganronpa 3: The End of Hope's Peak Academy (there are two different complimentary series. The idea is that you alternate between the two of them starting with Side Future, then Side Despair so your order would be F1, D1, F2, D2, etc...)  > Super Danganronpa 2.5 > Danganronpa Gaiden: Killer Killer > anything else to do with the main danganronpa universe > Danganronpa V3: Killing Harmony (not canon to the rest of the games, it is it’s own verse)

5: steven universe

so i’m sure most of you have heard of this but it’s really good so it’s worth sharing, here’s the plot: The Crystal Gems are a team of magical beings who are the self-appointed guardians of the universe. Half-human, half-Gem hero Steven is the "little brother" of the group. The goofball is learning to save the world using the magical powers that come from his bellybutton and he goes on magical adventures with the rest of the Crystal Gems, even though he's not as powerful -- or smart -- as fellow group members Garnet, Amethyst and Pearl. Despite his shortcomings, Steven usually finds a surprising way to save the day.

this show has so many lgbtq+ characters that if i tried i wouldn’t be able to list them all, there is so much room to make oc’s if you can think of a type of gem then you got a gemsona idea buddy cuz any gem can be a character and the story is really great

6: the adventure zone

ok so this one is a tabletop rpg podcast, so far there has been two main campaigns though one is still on going, the 1st one is called The Balance Arc it’s the campaign that was for d&d and so far is the only main campaign to be over as it has a ending (though they sometimes still do live shows set in the campaign), it’s also the one you should must likely start with, then the  2nd main campaign is called: Amnesty it uses the monster of the week rpg and is on going, this podcast is hosted by the McElroys

here’s what campaign 1 can be summed up as: The story of four idiots that played DnD so hard that they made themselves cry. 

here’s a fan-made trailer for The Balance Arc 

7: critical role

another d&d show! yeah i know but this one and the last one are very very different, for one everyone in this show knows how to play d&d, anyways this is a web series in which a group of professional voice actors play Dungeons & Dragons, that is played live every Thursday. There are two campaigns, one of them is over while the other is on going, both are already very long so you better have some free time on your hands

if you do watch then be ready to cry at least once

8: 17776

ok so uh this one is a bit odd, it’s on the shorter side os things and is a serialized speculative fiction multimedia narrative by Jon Bois published online through SB Nation, it’s odd but from what i know it’s good

9: paranatural

a webcomic that is made by the same person that made summerteen romance (y’know from Paradox Space?) anyways the comic follows the story of Max, the new kid at school, and the other members of the Activity Club as they fight ghosts, investigate the secrets of Mayview, and interact with their fellow middle school students

it’s a fun webcomic that has characters that you end up really wanting to learn more about

10: young justice

so this show is a pertty good way to get into the dc fandom, you don’t need to know much of the lore of the main dc verse as a lot of the stuff isn’t quite the same in the show so need to worry if your not the must into comics, the story is about the the teenage team of superheroes as they save the world as well as deal with normal daily life issues

it’s a fun show that can make you cry really fast, that goes from light hearted to dark very quick and isn’t afraid to kill off a characters

As a kirin, he’s a shy, peaceful creature, with a permanent star-shaped marking on his forehead from his horn and small nubs on the top of his head from his antlers—thus why he’s constantly wearing a hat. He is a being with an innate sense of justice, and the ability to differentiate truth from lies. He’s a mature kirin (nearly three centuries), but he’s avoided contact with most other creatures before deciding to immigrate to Orsus. This makes him somewhat innocent and easily overwhelmed when interacting with others. He does possess a remarkable amount of magical energy, but he doesn’t often tap into it unless it is for the sake of another. Some examples of his magic include being able to summon celestial fire and wind.

Important Headcanons:

Does not have lymphoma or frontotemporal dementia. This was part of an autobiography he read and found poignant, and he integrated details of this story into a fabrication about himself which he told Hinata. (A good argument against him having FTD can be found [here] if anyone is interested.)

Slightly canon-divergent in that he did not have his memories about his first meeting of Kamukura at Hope’s Peak erased, and he was aware of or in contact with Kamukura while he was an Ultimate Despair to some degree. (This, of course, can be fully negotiated with Hinata/Kamukura muns individually.)

Actually just hinted canon, but according to dates and known ages, Hope’s Peak is an academy and not a high school, which in Japan is more like pre-college. First years at Hope’s Peak would have completed two years of high school already. Thus, Komaeda is 18 in his first year at Hope’s Peak and 19 in his second (and last, even though the program would be 3 years if not for the end of the world).

Another that’s actually partially supported by canon, but during the time in which he has Junko’s arm attached, he is incapable of moving or feeling said limb, as the nerves are not attached or functioning.

Verses ~ Alternate Worlds

Note for people who haven’t finished the game, there are spoilers.

Verse 1 ~ Main Verse | Playing a Melody

Just any random interactions are untagged.

Verse 2 ~ InGame Verse | { V; Trapped like Rats Waiting to be slaughtered | Chapter 1 }

   In this verse, everyone has just been forced to play the killing game and she’s trying to find a way to escape. She’s very optimistic and trying to help keep everyone’s spirits up but the stress is getting to her.

Verse 3 ~ Alternate Game Verse | { V; The Truth will Forever be Lost | Protagonist Kaede }

     Very quickly she realized this game was rigged from the start as Shuichi was found guilty of a crime he didn’t commit. Having to watch him die for her own crime has sparked an indescribable hate for the mastermind. Keeping his hat as a momentum, letting it block her view after deciding to carry on his memories she does everything in her power to keep everyone alive. But will it even be enough to end this killing game...?

Verse 4 ~ Alternate Verse | { V; Welcome to Hope Peak Academy  | HPA verse}

     This is a verse for any interactions with DR1 & 2 characters, especially in the academy. It can be either Post DR3 or non-despair verse but Kaede is the Ultimate Pianist. She simply wants to make as many memories as possible during her time at the Academy. You can think of it as the Talent Development Plan verse in that sense.

Verse 5 ~ Pre-game | { V; Looking for a Reason to Live | Pregame Kaede }

Pre Game About

Verse 6 ~ Alternate Verse | { V; This is a New Hope’s Peak | Post DR3 }

     This is pretty much Post DR3 with Makoto Naegi as the new headmaster of this new school which accepts students on a slightly different basis. Kaede is a new student that has applied to Hopes Peak Academy after being recommended by many famous spectators of her performance. She’s excited by this new turn of events and just like in verse 4 wishes to make tons of memories. Just now the cast of previous games are adults and some are dead.

@cantillat​ asked:  ✿ — [sender] and [receiver] carve a pumpkin together (for pre time skip Sonia and Shirou)

Fall/Autumn/Halloween starters - No Longer Accepting!

"Well, you certainly keep a large amount of knives in the Emiya household..." Sonia began, looking down at the display before her. When she'd messaged Shirou earlier in the week about the supplies they'd need: a knife or two, a scoop or flat paddle of some sort to remove the flesh and seeds, small candles, and a variety of paints, paper, pens, or other sorts of drawing guides, she hadn't expected him to be quite so prepared. For a moment, she wondered if he'd even try to use his magic blades on the poor pumpkins but even without them, there was still an array of blades, hopefully all kitchen related but she couldn't be sure, spread out before them on the wooden porch that looked out into the garden. Other instruments and supplies joined them: various spoons and flat...spotoolas (she'd seen them in the kitchen before, she was sure of it!), bowls, towels and newspaper to help collect drippings, an assortment of candles, and various art supplies all greeted her that afternoon when she'd arrived.

At least she'd worn an older skirt and blouse, one she didn't terribly mind getting messy as she knelt before the pumpkins she'd brought over in the black town car that lingered in front of the house. Carrying them on public transport or a hired cab was out of the question: her foreignness attracted enough attention, attaching her title and several large orange gourds to the equation and Sonia Nevermind, the Ultimate Princess, would both struggle under their weight and stick out amongst the crowds. So the royal transport was the only option, even if it was only supposed to be used for official duties. She'd come up with something later. For now, she would teach Shirou all about pumpkin carving and the appeal of setting a lit jack-o-lantern in a window or porch for the duration of the Halloween season.

"The first step," She began, setting her hand on one of the pumpkins. "Is cutting open the top of the pumpkin, just around the stem, but large enough so you can stick your arm inside and then some. But you must keep the discarded top close by, we shall require it later. From there, we shall use the spoons you've gathered to scoop away the flesh and seeds. According to the cooks in the Castle kitchens at home, apparently you can use the innards for cooking, like broths, sauces, and baking and the like, and the seeds may be roasted in oil and spices in the oven to be consumed as well. But many people just throw it away."

Sonia shivered slightly. Japan took a little longer for the autumn breezes to set in, but once they did it reminded her of Novoselic at times. Pumpkin carving outside would be a rare gift. Maybe while he worked on carving his first pumpkin, she'd prepare some tea. Hopefully Shirou would trust her enough to do that. "Next, once all the flesh and seeds are removed, you want to paint or draw on your design, unless you are very artistically-inclined and can simply cut your design into the pumpkin from memory. I admit I'm not: at home, if I wasn't following a pattern or stencil, I'd simply cut several small holes into my pumpkin, stuff them with suet meant for bird feeders, and leave them out for a few hours and let the makango at the Royal Makago Sanctuary have a go at them. It wouldn't look like any particular face or design, but it would look terribly gruesome and mutilated. As long as I removed it well before they tried to devour the entire pumpkin! My father said it wasn't fitting for Castle guests to see though, so I don't get to do it often."

She hadn't realized until then how long she'd been off on her tangent: with an embarrassed chuckle, she looked out over the garden. According to Rin, Shirou spent much time there practicing his skills. Swordsmanship, she guessed, though she doubted it would be easy with all of the falling leaves and recent bouts of rain. They were lucky that afternoon: it was chilly but sunny.

"Does that help get us started?" She asked, "Once we're done cutting out our designs, it should be dark by then and so we'll be able to make our pumpkins glow."

Canon can kiss my ass

I need to get my verse pages done but I'm a lazy piece of shit, so until then I'll make this post providing a brief explanation on how I'm going to play each verse and where the timeline stands

MAIN - this takes place during the killing game

DESPAIR - this is during chapter 6, where Ouma and Kaito's death causes him to lose the remaining hope he carries, with the trial not helping his case. This also affects the ending, where instead of choosing neither hope or despair he chooses the latter, siding with Shirogane and voting for Kiibo. The outcome? Hmmm.

HOPES PEAK - yes, its real. Fuck you. This just basically where he attends Hope's Peak Academy, not much to say on it. This takes inspiration from the Ultimate Talent Development Plan bonus

ALTERNATE - this is a mixture of the hopes peak verse and a nondespair verse. Basically, the game never happened and the only despair he has to deal with is his depression. This is also where the main ship with malfique is going to mostly be developed in

PRE GAME - I may or may not get rid of this one, since both hopes peak and alternate covers what I want to do, but  this is me throwing the 'audition video' out the window and he's just working with his uncle until hes forced to participate in the game

TOWA CITY - This will mostly takes place during AE, where he stays with the W.O.H. for shelter and to help take care of the kids. While not condoning Monaka's actions to murder the adults in the city he is extremely neutral about the situation, and picks neither side of the war and would rather stay out of it and do whatever the hell he wants as long as he doesn't die. The same thing goes if he stays with Future Foundation. He just wants to read a book and wait for the war to finish

[morethanaprincess-a]

Closed starter for @ultimaet​ !

“I...never thought...a holiday would consist of so much work!” Sonia panted as she came to a full stop. That wasn’t entirely true: the Ultimate Princess was very much accustomed to working throughout a holiday. Except her idea of work was supporting her father in various public appearances, visiting hospitals, schools, and orphanages, and participating in interviews as requested. It made most of Novoselic’s holidays working ones, with a schedule to keep to and no sense of relaxation until the Royal Council went into recess and the Family was given a week or two to recuperate each summer and winter. 

This was an entirely different sort of work. To Sonia’s delight, she’d discovered that Hope’s Peak Academy, with all its prestige, was not immune from the traditions that permeated through the country and into the media she adored so much. The school indeed had a Sports Day (and a Cultural Festival, for that matter) and she was expected to participate. But to her detriment, she’d been wholly unprepared for how seriously some of her classmates took the athletic competitions. Case in point had been Akane Owari, who had no intention of losing the 4x100 relay to anyone. Sonia was more of a jogger, something she took part in to maintain her health when she had no other physical recreation to otherwise engage in. But a casual approach to a run would not award 77-B the gold medal, and so she’d politely agreed to morning training on the school’s track before breakfast, homeroom class, and their individualized tutoring sessions.

It was only after she completed her fifth (or was it sixth?) attempt to break her previous record and try to beat Akane did Sonia begin to feel the strain, a tightness in her chest and in her calves. She breathed heavily, hands on her knees as her long blonde hair fell limply over her shoulders. She was in no way a morning person, and so she’d only managed to stick a hairband in her locks to pull back some of the blonde strands from falling into her eyes. She should’ve tied it back properly. And gone to bed at a decent hour, forgoing her usual nightly routine of a television episode or several chapters in a book.

“Are...are you sure we’ll be ready for the festival by the end of the month?” She asked wearily. She hadn’t felt comfortable approaching Nidai about her lack of experience in sports festivals, she had a hunch that his version of preparation would be even more strenuous and painful. “I feel as if we all need to be athletes to succeed in sports day. I wouldn’t like to lose, but I do not think I will be able to match your speed Owari-san.”

Chisa’s Verses

-- These are available on her verse page as well as this post.

[ Future Foundation ] - [:~Verse { Chisa } :: Future]

As a member of the Future Foundation Chisa is head of the 5th Division. She is tasked with gather intelligence on the phenomenon of Despair. However, what no one knows is she herself has been corrupted by Despair.

Leading a double existence she spends her time manipulating the others around her to corrupt them into Despair while feeding Munakata enough information to stay under the radar.

- This verse takes place after Despair Arc and up until her death in the Future Arc

[ Undercover School ] -  [:~Verse { Chisa } :: Despair's Teacher]

Having decided to follow Munakata and help him achieve he dream Chisa is willing to do anything to help her friend. So when asked to infiltrate Hope's Peak Academy to learn about the Reserve Course she of course accepts.

However, things get a little complicated while watching over her students and trying to dig for information. However, with Sakakura with her, what's the worse that could happen?

- This verse takes place during Despair Arc up.

[ Despairless ] - [:~Verse { Chisa } :: Everything Gained ]

In this verse either despair wasn't an existing thing, to begin with, or they managed to catch Junko. Either way, The Worst, Most Despair-Inducing Event in the History of Mankind never happened.

In this verse, the New Oversea Branch of Hopes Peak Academy opens. With Kyousuke chosen to be the headmaster, Chisa follows him and becomes a teacher within the school. Of course, she still helps with anything else Kyousuke asks of her on top of her new job.

[ School Days ] - [:~Verse { Chisa } :: Youth Jam ]

Pre-Danganronpa 3 Despair Arc - Yukizome Chisa has just been recruited to be a part of Hopes Peak Academy's 74th class as the Super High School Level Housekeeper. It's at this place she meets Munakata Kyousuke and Sakakura Juuzo the two people who would become her best friends.

- This verse can take place at any point between her being recruited and up to her graduation.

[ Rescued ] - [:~Verse { Chisa } :: Close Call]

Chisa answered her phone when the boys called her the first time. Updating them with the situation Chisa doesn't wait around for them and ends up in the same situation she was in before. She managed to rescue both Komaeda and Nanami but she is captured and forced to sit through the brainwashing video.

The boys, however, make it just in time to save her from the lobotomy. Chisa doesn't have any really bad side effects aside from some very bad memories and the occasional bad dream of what happened.

[ Recovery ] - [ :~Verse { Chisa } :: Second Chances ]

- This verse has several variations and can connect to a couple of other verse on here. If you want a specific version you can request it. Just let me know.

[ Despair ] - Chisa slips up at one point and is found out. They attempt to get her help, but Chisa doesn't recognize there is a problem and continues on as if nothing has changed and they don't know.

[ Test ] - Chisa was discovered early on and they hadn't discovered a way to help her. Not until Naegi used the Neo World Program on the other Ultimate Despairs. In an attempt to prove his innocence and to help Chisa they attempt to put her through the Neo World program as well.

- In this version, it can happen either during the Neo World Program or after with her having gone through it and it either helping a little or a lot. Depends on what we are looking to do in the roleplay.

[ Fear ] - Chisa recognizes something is wrong but doesn't know how to communicate this now that she is an Ultimate Despair. When discovered, she is helped either through the Neo World Program, or something else, but things don't go as smoothly as they could have. 

So with her recovery, she is scared of hurting anyone again, especially her friends, and distances herself because she doesn't trust herself to be around them anymore.

** In all of these verses, she suffers from some side effect of her brain having been damaged with the lobotomy. Some of the things she suffers are severe headaches, the occasional sensory seizures, and sensory overloads at times. I have been doing my research and will be putting a page together on these alongside some other things she will eventually deal with. If I get anything wrong feel free to talk to me and correct me I love to learn.

[ Despair ( No Death ) ] - [:~Verse { Chisa } :: Game and Set]

[ Survivor ] - No one was chosen as a first victim. Instead, everyone is still alive with their bracelets in place. With no deaths having occurred yet everyone is suspicious of each other. After all, it was only a matter of time that they began to kill each other. In this verse, Chisa tries to remain her "usual" ray of sunshine self while also manipulating those around her.

 [ Deception ] - Chisa was "killed" as the first victim of the third killing game. Or at least that is what everyone is led to believe. Chisa however escaped and the body found is a body that was made to look exactly like hers. Now she remains hidden in the building either helping create despair or just attempting to wait out the game so she can leave.

[ Magical Creature AU ] - [:~Verse { Chisa } :: Seasalt ]

Chisa is a Siren a feared creature of the deep who is simply trying to live her life peacefully. So when she hears of an island made for creatures of all kinds she moves there. So she now has a lot to learn in coexisting with some of the more problematic residents of the island.

In this gated community Chisa lives on a beachfront property up above a small cave that leads into the ocean. This allows her to access the beach from inside her house and through the beach that she has access to.

  -- Siren - She gains her tail the second any form of salt water touches her. In normal water, she only gains her tail through the use of her magic. This is affected by the water her family lived in. She has the ability to heal through using water or blood but doesn't have the skill to really use it yet. She can manipulate water a little and her kiss, of course, can either kill a human or give them the ability to breathe underwater. Chisa's voice is hypnotizing so she is careful when she sings. 

In her "human" form she has slightly pointed ears that remain from her siren form and a couple smaller signs that could reveal her for what she is. In her siren form she has two forms one allows her to appear beautiful and harmless with her tail, pointed ears, and small patches of scales on her skin here or there, alongside of her tail, it's a way to lure in prey. Her other form gives her claws and fangs that allow her to rip apart her prey. She can suffer a water withdrawal if kept away from the water for too long. This will cause her to get a headache first, then shakiness and dizziness, collapsing and becoming unresponsive, and of course, the end result is death. How long it takes depends on on the siren and the only way to stop it is to get them to water.

- This verse is directly connected to ( Clxpsydra ) and ( Nefeliibxta ) however we wouldn't mind other's joining~

[nefeliibxta]

// Juuzo Sakakura - Verses

{ Future Foundation } – ll (juuzo) verse ; future ll

This is the verse that is his primary verse. Taking place throughout the timeline of DR1 through DR3: Future Side. 

The former Ultimate Boxer, as well as a former member of Class 74, Juuzo Sakakura is now the leader of “Branch Six” of the Future Foundation. He is also the main bodyguard for Kyousuke Munakata. A job he takes very seriously. Out of his fellow Future Foundation Leaders, he has one of the biggest names amongst the criminals and such of the falling world. After all, Juuzo is pretty infamous for his merciless behavior. He will happily kill anyone who is working to spread despair – if that is the best and quickest way to end something, he will not hesitate. You’ll find people often work their hardest, when they feel they need to make up for something. And? Juuzo is no exception.

{ Despairless AU } – ll (juuzo) verse ; peace ll

In a despair-less world, Juuzo has still chosen to disregard his talent, in favor of following his best friend. After all: Kyousuke had chosen to become the Headmaster of the New Oversea’s Branch, of Hope’s Peak Academy. So? Juuzo decided to follow him overseas and offer to be of any help he could be to the other’s mission. Though he’d never seen himself as a teacher – as a couch / p.e. teacher, he’s making it work. He can be a little harsh sometimes, as he has a bit of a temper. But? Surprisingly, his methods really tend to leave an impression with those he works with. ( He also oversees detention. As a personal choice. After all: Someone needs to get these kids to stop causing his friends trouble… )

{ Post-DR3 / Survival AU } – ll (juuzo) verse ; second chance ll

Post DR3: Future/Hope – Through it had been a close call, in fact, his body had gone into severe shock due to the loss of blood, and he’d slipped into a near death coma, some many months later… Juuzo found himself awake. It was a miracle. No one had thought he would survive, and honestly, now that he’d survived his sacrifice? Even he isn’t sure how he should respond. He’d expected to die. He’d planned for that to make up for everything. So? Finding himself alive again . . . he couldn’t help but wonder if he hadn’t done enough.

This verse can go many directions: However? Regardless of where it’s placed in the timeline or who found/helped him, he’ll always be wondering about Munakata. He’d nearly died for him. He’d chosen to try to die for him. Including destroying his own arm, cutting it off, to try to save the other. So? Regardless of where he is, his thoughts will be with him – so? Depending on what happens, depression, anxiety, as well as paranoia may follow. ( Especially if he has no way of contacting Munakata, or hasn’t found him yet. )

On the other hand, you’ll see what I did there, if it’s a few years into his recovery… and he’s managed to pull himself together, or run into his former boss again, he’ll probably be a lot more relaxed. Finally able to put the past mistakes he’d made behind him, he’s got a bit of a different air about him nowadays. And? A new robotic arm. ( Told you, you’d see. )

{ School Days } – ll (juuzo) verse ; boxer ll

Pre-Danganronpa - A member of Class 74, and the newly recruited Ultimate Boxing Champion, this is where Juuzo Sakakura ended up meeting his future best friends: Kyousuke Munakata and Chisa Yukizome. Of course, there were some rocky moments at the beginning. But? They were able to look past that - After all: It was during this time that Juuzo completed his championship, and by graduation, he’d decided to give up his professional career as a Boxer, despite being the best, so that he could help his friends out. That’s dedication.

{ Family AU (Osamu Sakakura) } – ll (juuzo) verse ; family ll

Name: Osamu Sakakura

Second oldest of the Sakakura siblings. Osamu is a little younger then Juuzou Sakakura, the Ultimate Boxing Champion. However? Osamu is the “Ultimate Kickboxer.” Despite having talent similar to his brother, he did make sure to branch off in his own direction – After all, being siblings, being so similar, well… Osamu has an awful time having people recognize him as the other. So? He does little things to try to make sure that people can tell them apart. ( Unfortunately, he’s getting results awfully slowly in that process. ) Because of that, he can have a bit of an inferiority complex, and he doesn’t have many people that he chooses to spend time around. When spoken to, he can be a little bit bitter and cynical. Frankly? A bit of an asshole. But? He is a little more soft spoken then his brother… just cynical when spoken to.

This verse is in direct affiliation with ( @rikaikokai ) who is the older Juuzou in question.

{ Mystical AU / Orsus } – ll (juuzo) verse ; (warlock) ageless ll

Juuzo Sakakura is an ancient warlock – existing since the time of Babylon Tower, when man thought they could build a tower to reach heaven. Due to this, he has existed for so long that he’s got a lot of very particular . . . ticks about him. He has a dialect that can’t be traced to any one place. He has a graceful walk of someone who has been everywhere, seen everything. He has amethyst eyes, which always glow a little – and glow brighter, as his magic, of the same color, is used.

( He also has no belly-button and has a dark-gray, almost black, tongue. But? He doesn’t talk about those things. Nor does he talk about the fact that his particular bred of warlock has no heartbeat – well? At least, until they meet their soulmate . . . )

Juuzo Sakakura is the Regulator of Orsus. Meaning, for most purposes, he is both the mayor of the island and the sheriff. He’s in charge of helping make sure all the different members of the Folk get along while living here – harmoniously, or? At least as harmoniously as you can expect from such different creatures. He’s lived here for a long time, so? A little at a time he’s molded this island into what he feels is the safest for those he has living there. Including impossibly high cliff faces, except for the singular dock that works as the entrance. ( His office is located around here. ) And the “beach facing” in the middle of the island. Proving that he’s wasted way too much of his magic hollowing out the island at least a little, to create a beach for his residents. Good thing the island is actually pretty big. ( It’s just unable to be taken a picture of – due to his ancient magic guarding it. )

He is the son of a “greater demon” and a “hero of old” ( meaning someone who was born of a human and angel parent – biblically speaking ), which is why he has so much strength, as well as the magic to maintain all of this.

{ DR3 Despair } – ll (juuzo) verse ; security ll

He’s here to find whatever evidence he can to help the other with his mission. And? In the meantime, he’s been informed to do what he can to guard their shared friend, Chisa Yukizome... whose gone undercover as well. She’s become a teacher. He’s become a guard. Between the two of them? They should be able to find something right?

{ Genderbent AU } – ll (juuzo) verse ; lady knight ll

Name: Juru Sakakura

Juru Sakakura is the “Ultimate Boxing Champion.” She is smart, quick witted, and after winning every other title available for it - they finally let her go for the World Championship. Finally proving her spot there, just like anyone else. She is confident in her strength. Confident in her abilities. And yet? She does have some complications in school... and otherwise.

As is often the case with women in professional sports that most people consider “manly,” people have often taken to teasing her and calling her names - Or assuming things about her. For the most part? This has never bothered her. After all: In sports, people tend to get competitive. That can bring out a certain cruelty in people. She expects that, and it doesn’t bother her. However? She doesn’t want to bring that sort of cruelty to the people she cares about most...

So? Despite being a bit more cheerful then her male counterpart, she tends to restrain herself on a more personal level. After all: She can deal with the teasing and the bullying. ( If she has too? She can break some faces... ) But? She knows that she’d lose it if someone started giving ether Munakata or Yukizome a hard time, because they’re her friends. ... she loves them too much to ever let that happen.

( Aside from those differences? This is more or less an add-on verse - So? It can be in connection to any of the verses above. And? Is available, mostly by request. )
