ughhhh my biggesttt pet peeve is when a postgame komahina fic uses izuru as like. a convenient excuse for angst instead of putting genuine thought into his existence and what it means. the amount of “i want hajime to be an unrealistically massive dick to komaeda unprompted… oh i know ill just make him go izuru mode”s and “komaedas only with izuru because he misses hajime and thats the only purpose izuru functions”s ive seen otherwise really good kmkmhn authors pull is genuinely devastating

#its fine to treat izuru as an extension of hajime because that was the intended reading. but if youre going to focus the fic on angsting #about his existence then you need to focus on how the project affected hajime as a character and what it symbolizes instead of using it as #a way to move the yaoi forward. it cannot be one without the other #the commentary dr makes with the project is i think one of its strongest points. you water ur fic down when you ignore all of that commentar #the second one is pretty easy to do right but when you get it wrong you get it SO wrong. yes part of the angst is komaeda missing hajime but #again you have to include how tragic the project itself was too. you have to focus on the characters individually before you can write them #together #ko’s danganronpa ramblings #izuru kamukura
