ALIAS: Vakaiya / Keya

Hello there, Vakaiya. We are all going to have a chat with you, so get comfortable. Before we get started, you are probably already thinking that this is a document made by a small group of friends who want to bully you; you would be incorrect in that assumption. This is a massive group effort with caps and writing from 20+ collective people who contributed to calling out your behavior. We know what you must be thinking since you tend to do this a lot: “I’M NOT EVEN GOING TO READ THIS!” Well, this time you should. We know it’s a lot, but it can’t be helped.

This is a collection of evidence pulled together by two groups of people; a group whose had past encounters with Vakaiya and a group who has only recently encountered her through newer offenses. For three of the contributors, it has been a little under a year since they first encountered you, for the rest, it is as new as this week. Both sides of the story have been made relevant by you. We are all tired of this, Vakaiya, so we are going to finish what you started.

ANGIE YONAGA

The Good, The Bad, and the Ugly

Okay, so this is a megapost about why I absolutely love the potential and idea of Angie, but explain my creative differences with Kodaka, who absolutely butchered her. I feel like I should at least put something about how Angie needs to be a bit more appreciated in the DR community, as absolutely batshit crazy she is.

In this post, I’ll divide things into Good (Things I really like about angie in general), Ugly (things that are probably true about Angie, or things that would be changed if i were in charge-- these things are often misunderstood.), and BAD (things that i would remove about Angie all together cause there’s no circumstances that it would be okay, or even feasible someone would do stuff like that (even Angie))

More Under the cut!

THE GOOD

Her unhealthy piety to Atua

I’ll get the elephant in the room out of the way. I do like that she is overly obsessed with the Divine way rather than her own way, and can’t tell the divide between her own wants and her deity’s wants. It adds a potential for self discovery, and learning herself so that she can grow as a character, potentially.

Her overall craziness and how things are on her island

Some people find Angie a bit jarring about her character, but i find it pretty endearing, kind of like how people view Harley Quinn-- Different, but in Angie’s case its on a more benevolent level. I always liked how she has a different idea from the rest of the cast on how to do things, and she may have unorthodox methods, but she comes to the same conclusion as everyone else. She is always on the same page, but came to that end in a totally weird manner. Her island’s alleged ways and the lack of knowledge about things allow for a fantasy-like culture where blood sacrifices are made via truck every monday and wednesday, and there are plants that are hard to tell if they’re actually animals. This leads to a variety of Cultures-- but i’ll get to the barbaric portrayal in a sec

the way she thinks she’s cute.

She thinks she’s cute, probably because she was cute on her island’s standards, so she kept it up for the attention.

THE UGLY

How one-note Angie is

I will say that Angie’s “Atuaism” is very one-note in the game. Like, when I wrote as Angie, I delved into how lonely she felt, how her island functioned (if it did), and how she became so high and mighty in her own village. Did she rise to that point of power? Was she elected as the Oracle of the island against her will, and was brainwashed into being the cult leader? (Think Natural Harmonia from Pokemon Black and White.) We don’t really know, but the way I wrote angie is that it was a role forced upon her, and she was very lonely as no one was allowed to interact with “her purity”. That would some add some interesting twists to her character!

Blood Sacrifices and the Cult

She says that on her island, there are blood sacrifice rituals. However she did mention it was a “teensy bit” of blood. This could result as a harmless dose- no more than one would donate to the Blood Drive. Otherwise, how would she allow the people of her own island to live? Its a bit too chaotic to function if people gave large amounts of blood and died doing so.  

Also, she does mention the fate of someone who eventually became a sacrifice. It could be inferred that she requested it-- but i personally think that since it is a cult mentality, her island took it upon themselves to act for her-- even if she doesn’t condone it, as form of an extremist group. Angie wasn’t in a place to actually punish them every time, so she would do the “7 generation curse” thing and unfortunately turn them loose. Angie was a figurehead, probably. That’s How I chose to see it, anyway, and I wish they werent so flaw-crazy with Angie.

Brainwashing in Ch.3 , pt 1

This one was more that she felt she couldn’t get everyone to cooperate. She knew her place, and began to brainwash everyone in the cast. She mentioned that she saw her religion as “you’ll come around eventually” kind of thing, and wouldn’t force it.  The forced conversion here, was only because she knew everyone wasn’t on board. She probably would snap everyone out of it to live their lives as they want to if they were to get out because no one wanted to participate, through death or not. She also may have wanted to call Monokuma out on his bluff that he’d murder everyone if there was no murder. (as we know as the audience, would be a very short and unfulfilling show). She had everyone’s best interest in mind, not above hers tho, and did it in the most unorthodox way possible. I like that.

THE BAD

Non-Consensual sexuality

does this need to be said? there was no reason that had to be written. and for Angie to fall for someone who said “no”? That’s EXTREMELY shallow,even for angie. NEXT--

Brainwashing in Ch. 3, pt. 2

Now, how is hugging someone and preying on their weaknesses actual IMMEDIATE Brainwash? Like, I get it, preying on weaknesses can get someone on board... but when it comes to religion, people have a thing called a will. Gonta might join, because his will is weaker and he can be fooled, but Himiko? Kiibo? its not feasible. They know when somethings fishy and not easily fooled (yes, even Himiko).  The only reason brainwashing was there because of plot progression. That’s it. if it weren’t for that, i’d ditch it. You can originally tell that Kodaka wanted Angie to be the murderer at some point, but still wanted her to be seen in a worse and worse light. Its terrible. I hate it.

The fact that Angie has no legacy

After Chapter 3-- there was hardly any feeling toward Angie being dead. Most people were traumatized by tenko, and they didn’t know that they sent her to her death. But news flash-- Angie died too. She was a person! Who died! Who tried getting everyone to a better place, and NO ONE recognizes that? all of the student council said “oh, she’s not invincible, guess i was wrong lol” and never mention Angie till the very very end, along with everyone else. I get that no one wanted to  mourn for her, but it could at least have an impact greater than that, especially for her legit followers. However, Himiko’s relationship to Tenko afterward is honestly off-putting, because of how obsessive Tenko was, and Himiko said “no. never. leave me alone.”. for her to be like “TENKO I MISS U BB” is off putting, putting it lightly. I do ship those two, but only if kodaka didn’t put his grubby hands on the duo, including Angie.

Well, that was my rant, feel free to reblog if you want, I just love Angie and no one can convince me to stop goodnight :)

NDRV3: Chapter 2 Free Times

Before we begin: I managed to get a level up for the mere act of waking up. If only that were the case in real life.

Well, I found out how the game was going to deal with the free times from before Kaede died: by completely ignoring them. If I’d known, I’d have been tempted to switch out Himiko for Maki, but I found Himiko first and only realised once I saw the shards for her had reset. :-/

Himiko Yumeno: Well, Shuichi decided not to sacrifice himself to power her magic but I was certainly tempted. Interesting that Himiko claims to have had a teacher: a sleight-of-hand magician teacher whose words she’s twisting? made-up? or someone encouraging her chuuni?

Kokichi Oma: I’m glad I did this before finding out what’s coming up. Pretty vague for now (obviously, nothing Kokichi said could be taken seriously) but maybe will get a better idea of what’s true and what’s not later on.

We then got the motive for the upcoming murder. The Monokubs mixing them up is about as much I expected from them, but I also reasonably suspect that it was on purpose for the extra suspicion. In the aftermath, it was quite nice to see K1-B0 start to grow a backbone, though I can also see the merit of Kokichi’s suggestions. One flaw with K1-B0′s plan: if you don’t know who’s got who’s motive, then you can’t be certain no-one has their own.

Got the casino trip with Miu, Kaito, Kokichi, Ryoma and Korekiyo afterwards. Meh. I’m still not a fan of the casino.

Kirumi Tojo: Still at the ‘I’m just a maid who has to obey everyone’s orders’ step, which isn’t particularly flattering. I’m hoping that this is just the first step and Shuichi will realise he has to be more assertive and proactive in treating Kirumi as an equal. (Speculating about what would happen if someone felt obligated to serve me, and what I would need to do to avoid taking advantage of them, happens to be something of a hobby of mine, so I’m hoping they do justice to this setup.)

Kaito Momota: I feel like I should have realised that the Ultimate Astronaut would be one of the most talented people there. It’s an obvious move for the writers to make, but a pleasant one. Not a fan of the whole ‘Person asks question; you choose answer from options; all of them were wrong,’ trope which has cropped up again (I chose ‘healthy body’ as the most important thing for an astronaut, though I’ll admit I was thinking more in terms of ‘If your body has been exposed to the vacuum of space, then you are not a good astronaut.’)

Brainwashing fun all round! Angie brainwashes Himiko to Atuaism, Kokichi brainwashes Gonta to even-more-stupidity, and Kaito brainwashes Shuichi to serve that great evil which is exercise.

Another black mark for Tenko in the aftermath of Himiko’s brainwashing. About the only thing more lazily stereotypically rubbish than ‘Girl just really hates guys, all guys,’ is ‘Girl just really hates guys, all guys, while also acting exactly like the stereotype of guys she hate.’ Are they done mashing together the worst parts of SDR2 characters yet?

Kaito Momota: One last Free Time. More of the goofball side of Kaito rather than the ultra-competent side, though it’s a competent goofball so I’m cool. It sort of felt weird for the motive to never come up in these conversations with Kaito, but I suppose that would have been tricky to program.

Then it all kicks off. I was fairly sure that the doors were supposed to be lockable, but no, Shuichi just has to go run and get himself caught by Gonta. I’m extraordinarily surprised that the writers chose to have Tenko get caught by Gonta: that seriously infringes on the point of her talent. On the other hand, another nice show of competence by K1-B0. Admittedly, he should have replayed the tapes back when Kokichi had just left so they could try and stop him; on the other hand, letting the bug lesson play out did spare me from the Monokubs’ nighttime announcement, for which I’m very grateful.

I can’t believe all the characters missed that when the Monokub said he was going to give the motives back to their rightful owners, that meant he’d not mix them up this time. It looks like Kokichi’s plan will be a success after all.

I’m 90% certain someone will get murdered during Himiko’s magic show, so I stopped there. I might be wrong, but it’s been foreshadowed enough.
