I think the biggest character note I use for Junko/Ryoko as a whole is her response to Mukuro telling her to kill the Madarai.

Because - despite imagining it very clearly, and despite Yasuke being at risk - Ryoko can't do it. She can't kill them. She doesn't care about hope or despair, but she can't kill the Madarai - who have been trying to kill/capture her from their first meeting - even if it means being able to reunite with Yasuke. She can't. She refuses.

And it's clear from Mukuro's reaction that Ryoko was expected to kill them. Mukuro is confused. Puzzled. This is not the way this scenario is supposed to go. Ryoko is supposed to kill the Madarai so that her hope (seeing Yasuke again) would overcome her despair (not seeing Yasuke again, being forced into this horrible choice).

But Ryoko...doesn't.

It is the thing that Junko scripted out and told Mukuro would happen and then it doesn't. Which means that Junko incorrectly predicted herself.

Mukuro sends Ryoko on anyway because Junko would be disappointed if the scenario ended like that - without the climax - but the scene still stands.

Junko says later that she predicted everything perfectly, but she didn't.

Junko thought Ryoko - she, herself - would murder to get to Yasuke.

But she didn't.

And that's the core of a lot of my characterization of Junko and Ryoko.

laios is perhaps the only character not to get the "they mentioned their favorite food once and the fandom makes it their whole personality" treatment. his favorite food is cheesecake and absolutely nobody cares

"two bodyguards drag me away" has been my fav way to finish insane sentences, its up there with "who said that", "can anyone hear me", "is this thing on" and "its so dark in here"

probably my most powerful interpersonal communication hack is to, whenever possible, ask either/or questions rather than yes/no questions

for example, when chatting with coworkers, i’ll often ask if they have any fun weekend plans. but let’s be real - we all feel like friendless losers when someone asks that question and we go “uhhhhh… no.” so instead, i phrase it as “so, do you have anything fun planned over the weekend, or are you just going to enjoy having some time to relax?”

phrased like this, there’s rarely any awkwardness. you’ve presented two options & given both equally positive connotations, so your conversational partner has an automatic “out,” so to speak

but it works for higher stakes conversations too!!!! my mom was saying this weekend how she and her neighbor both like walking around the neighborhood & that she wanted to suggest they take a walk together sometime, but was worried about how to approach the conversation

so i said “how about you just say ‘i’ve noticed we both like taking walks! would you be interested in going for one together, or do you use walks for some precious alone time?’”

now Walking Neighbor has an automatic “get out of jail free card” if she wants to say no!!!! which means my mom doesn’t have to worry about the conversation being uncomfortable, because she’s set it up to go smoothly

either/or questions rather than yes/no questions. it is really like magic

i’m gonna cry it’s raining right now and i just passed by a family where both parents were without an umbrella but their kid who couldn’t have been older than like 3-4 was proudly holding this GIANT umbrella whose diameter was as tall (if not taller) as the kid. both the parents were getting absolutely drenched but u could tell the kid was just so happy to have an “adult” task and carry the umbrella themselves and i think that sacrifice is what love is all about

if i was a popular minecraft youtuber id just tweet "hey guys stop drawing shipping fanart of me and my friends/coworkers, i only fucked one of them and seeing me paired with anyone else is kinda weird and crosses my boundaries" and then i'd turn my phone off
