New artwork - I had a certain scenario in my head and I thought the artwork could do with a little explanation and now it ended up into as a short fic. :)) (I usually just write dialogue for my comics so apologises for the shoddy descriptions).

The explosion had been deafening, the shockwave ripping through the air like a physical force. Kaito's world had gone white for a moment, the heat searing his skin even through his all-black outfit. When his vision cleared, he was on the move, instincts driving him forward. He didn't know where he was going, only that he had to get out of there.

Then he saw him—Shinichi, lying prone on the floor, half-buried under debris. His clothes were singed, burnt patches marring the fabric and revealing raw, bleeding flesh beneath. Kaito didn't think; he just acted. He scooped Shinichi up, ignoring the detective's weak protests, and carried him to the nearest hiding spot—a small, abandoned room with cracked walls and a single flickering lightbulb.

Kaito set Shinichi down gently, but the movement still elicited a pained groan from the injured man. "Stay quiet," Kaito whispered, his voice barely audible over the distant sounds of chaos. "We need to wait until it's safe."

Shinichi nodded weakly, his eyes fluttering closed as he leaned back against the wall. Kaito took a deep breath, trying to steady his racing heart. This wasn't part of the plan. He hadn't expected to run into Shinichi, let alone find him in such a state. He'd been scouting the area for entirely different reasons, preparing for a heist that would never happen now.

Kaito crouched down beside Shinichi, pulling off his black cap and running a gloved hand through his hair. "You're lucky I found you when I did," he murmured, more to himself than to Shinichi. "If I hadn't..."

He trailed off, not wanting to finish that thought. Instead, he focused on getting Shinichi comfortable. He put his cap back on, he pulled off his own jacket and draped it over Shinichi's shoulders, then carefully adjusted their positions so that Shinichi was sitting with his back against Kaito's. The detective was too weak to protest, too exhausted to do anything but lean into the support.

"Don't look at me," Kaito instructed, his tone firm but gentle. "Just rest. We'll figure this out."

Shinichi nodded again, his head lolling slightly as he fought to stay conscious. Kaito could feel the heat radiating off his body, the burns clearly severe. He needed medical attention, but they couldn't risk moving yet. Not until they were sure the area was clear.

Kaito took a deep breath, forcing himself to focus. He needed to put on his KID persona, to think like the master thief he was. Talking would help distract Shinichi, keep him calm. And if he was honest with himself, it would also help distract Kaito from the worry gnawing at his insides.

"You know," Kaito began, his voice taking on that familiar, teasing lilt, "you really should be more careful. Running into explosions isn't exactly good for your health."

Shinichi snorted softly, a weak attempt at a laugh. "Says the guy who thrives on chaos."

Kaito chuckled, though it felt hollow. "Touché, Meitantei. But even I have my limits. You, on the other hand, seem to have none."

There was a pause, and Kaito could feel Shinichi's body tense slightly. "I didn't... I didn't mean to get caught up in this," he murmured, his voice barely above a whisper. "I was just... following a lead."

Kaito's heart clenched at the vulnerability in Shinichi's voice. He wanted to reach out, to comfort him, but he kept his hands firmly by his sides. "I know," he said softly. "But next time, try to avoid blowing yourself up, okay?"

Shinichi laughed again, a little stronger this time. "Sure thing, KID. I'll add that to my list of resolutions."

Kaito smiled, though it didn't reach his eyes.

could you do dangonronpa v3 cast x reader where the reader gives them a love note and when they give it to them they run away

i love this idea !! ofc i can do it ദ്ദി ˉ͈̀꒳ˉ͈́ )

💭 . ★⋆. ࿐࿔ drv3 cast reacts to being given a love letter

type | react , reader insert , love confessions , cute , no killing game

author's note* just testing out a (slightly) different format for my posts. feedback is appreciated and welcomed !! thank you

shuichi saihara ♥︎

he thinks he knows what it is , but wants to check with them to see if he's correct in his assumption. they've completely disappeared so now he can't :( he tries to hide his excitement. he's opening the letter awkwardly, doing his best to ignore the shakiness of his hands. he reads the letter to himself, in his head. his calm expression from before changes into a soft smile while he spends the rest of his day reading it over and over. he'll need some time to think about what he's going to say to them in response...

rantaro amami ♥︎

"oh? is this for....me?" he's seen that they've already ran off, leaving him all alone with this letter. he opens it , careful to not tear the envelope too much (he'll probs reuse to send a postcard later on) he's kind of flustered upon reading it at first, but as he reads on, he gets happy. he feels himself become warm. it's a nice type of warm. he basks in the feeling while he thinks of what he could possibly say in response to their love note 💭

kiibo ♥︎

he's legit so happy. he's never gotten a love letter before, so imagine his surprise when they slip one into his hands and run away. he's kind of sad that they ran before he had a chance to speak with them, tell them about how much he appreciates it. nevertheless, he reads it. then reads it again, and again. and oh how excited he is to make one in response telling them exactly how he feels!

korekiyo shinguji ♥︎

it's a new, and rather exciting thing for kiyo to receive this letter. he doesn't think of them rude to just run off after handing it ovee to him, instead adding to their mystique. perhaps, they just wanted him to take the contents of their letter all in, all by himself. either way, he reads it and holds it close to his chest. by dawn, he will have his response. he just needs to have a long brainstorm about what he's going to say

kaito momota ♥︎

kaito is shouting at them to come back so he can read and react to it with them still there. but alas, they still leave and kaito is left with nothing but an envelope and some mixed feelings. he decides to open it in his room. when he does read the note, he's yelling excitedly, dancing in place with the note still in hand. he only stopped when he realized he needs to think of a response ASAP so he can tell him how feels by tomorrow

gonta gokuhara ♥︎

gonta wants to thank them for the letter, but they've already taken off. he frowns but opens the letter right away anyway. his frown only turns into a smile the more he reads. he feels appreciated more than anything. he begins writing a letter of his own right away!

ryoma hoshi ♥︎

ryoma, although confused, doesn't mind so much that they suddenly took off. his focus is on tentatively taking the note out of the envelope so it doesn't tear. he begins to read it. he pulls his beanie down to hide his face, and starts to walk off as well. he really hopes nobody saw how red he turned. he's going to be thinking about this for the rest of the week. after he feels less embarrassed, then he'll respond.

kokichi ouma ♥︎

he lowkey wants to start chasing them just to mess with them but decides not to. he needs to get this envelope open straight away! he tears it open the same way a kid would tear open a gift on christmas morning. in all honestly, he thought it would be some prank...so when it turned out to be a genuine love note from them. he didn't really know what to say or do. he'll most likely tease them about how quickly they ran off, not really knowing of any other way to confront them about this

kaede akamatsu ♥︎

she tries thanking them for their letter right then and there, but they run off while she's doing so. she kind of just shrugs it off and gets to opening up the envelope. she's like :o as soon as she sees what's inside. she thinks their note is totally cute! and she *needs* them to know it, too. she's on her way to tell them about how she feels.

tsumugi shirogane ♥︎

"oh dear...." she sighs, watching them run away from her. the anticipation of what could possibly be waiting for her in this letter is killing her so she gets it open soon after they leave.

on the outside she's a blushing mess but inside she's an even bigger mess. she's happy that they took the time to write this note but also kind of lost on what she's going to say in response...she's never received something like this before

miu iruma ♥︎

at first, she's kind of laughing because of how fast they ran away. she thinks they're a bit of a scaredy cat even though she would probably do the same thing 🤭 her cockiness gets shut down quick as soon as she reads what is on the note. she genuinely stunned , and she stays like that for the rest of the day. the girl genius' brain can only work so hard. she sleeps on what her response is going to be and writes it the following morning.

angie yonaga ♥︎

doesn't mind too much that they ran off as soon as they slipped her the note. she waits until after she's prayed to open it up. she reads it happily and then begins to doodle a response on the back of the note, fully planning to give it to them the next day. she wants to see their reaction.

maki harukawa ♥︎

was about to ask them what the note is about before they ran off but it was too late. she's skeptic on what's inside so she hesitantly opens it up. she reads it over, becoming half anxious, half flustered. she touches her hair to calm her nerves. she gives another read so she's certain that all she read wasn't just her eyes playing tricks on her. later, that same day, maki sits down to write a very formal response to them.

tenko chabashira ♥︎

she doesn't know why exactly they just handed this letter over to her and ran, but she's yelling out a 'THANK YOU!" for it. the more she reads , the more she gets excited. she doesn't care about how loud she's getting because her focus is all on the contents of the note. she's going to punch something out of pure excitement!! she's going to make her response as if it was an emergency.

himiko yumeno ♥︎

as she watches them run away, she asks: "nyeh? why me?" after some time of debating whether or not she should read the note, she does. she feels herself getting embarrasingly flustered. she is a little surprised though considering she didn't need to cast a love spell on anyone to receive a note like this this time.

[internals1ut]

Do you mind explaining your thoughts process on who is a top and who is a bottom?

I am curious about how you decided on those things :3

You don't need to answer if you don't want to ofc

Hell yeah I can anon! Sorry if some seems a little more bland than some others!

18+/nsfw/minors gtfo

Frosthiem

Jin - I know a lot of people see him as a bottom but I do see him as a top. Only because when I made my list I made Tohma a bottom and I love ships and even TohmaMido.

Tohma - Mido is the reason I love seeing a glasses man get fucked

Kaito - Whiney Bottom

Lucas - A soft top, give him time he didn't think he could do it either.

Vagastorm

Mido - He just seems like a top just by appearance alone. He seems like the type who would be a little worried to go rough unless he knows his partner can take it.

Sho - A gentle top, but he can be a tease and sometimes mean during sex.

Leo - Bottom. Need I say more.

Jabberwock

Towa - Seems like the type who would want to make Haru feel good, so he wants to make him feel nice and good while he tops.

Haru - He doesn't seem like he could be a top to me. But I can see him switching, but I will be writing him as a bottom

Ren - I wrote him as a top once for a Ren x Haru fic. And him. Not being a top hasn't left my mind.

Sinostra

Taiga - Really - "nah I ain't gonna bottom bitch for anyone, oh Lulu"~

Romeo - He is too hot to be doing all the work during sex. That is what that red haired idiot is for!

Ritsu - So I can't see him having sex at all no matter what. He seems passionate about his job as a lawyer and feel like he would rather do that than do someone

Hotarubi -

Subaru - I really liked writing those crying Subaru posts so you get bottom. Subaru

Haku - Forward, flirty, I would be hiding my face if I was under him and you are saying you won't? Don't lie.

Zenji - When he was alive, he definitely was a top. He'll call his partners moans a angelic singing voice and want to see how high those moans can sing ~

Obsucury

Lyca - He absolutely would knot in people, and would probably get bored when he bottoms and will probably ask of it was done and over with. So I can see him fitting as a top.

Edward - He has been through so much. He could have topped before but it got him bored and he needed a new sense of pleasure. So having someone or an anomaly inside him was new but it felt better and he has more fun than doing all the work.

Rui - Ends up being a top because Edward enjoys to bottom. He definitely has his worries about letting anyone touch him bare hands so he always wears a condom when doing it. But having finger sex with his gloves on? Getting them dirty because Edward can't stop being needy ~

Mortkraken

Yuri - He wants to act like a top but he is better at his experiments rather sex he doesn't know where to stick it in, guide him. Show him. Will he top next time? Of course he will say he will but the moment he and Jiro go to have sex after he says that, Jiro always ends up topping.

Jiro - Gives off top energy, but is more sadistic than anything. Plus he is the only one who could probably pleasure Yuri the way he likes it.

Sorry! I know some are a little bland and don't give a good reason , but I can't think of any switch in position since I made up my mind ;-;

Everyone is able to have their own opinions on who is a top or a bottom hell who is even a switch too!

This doesn't mean I don't ship a bottom x a bottom or a top x top, however I won't be writing smut of those two characters if that is the case of them.

I really love your Makoto in V3!AU and have started thinking about it a lot lately.

So, we are shown the audition videos of Kaede, Shuichi, and Kaito for Danganronpa in 6th trial (which are probably another lie from Tsumugi, but.. whatever) and I had a question: if in your AU Makoto survives to the end, what is his video interview like? What is his reaction and that of the rest of the students?

It would be interesting to hear about his pregame version in your AU. Thanks in advance for your reply! (^_^)

Oh, this is a good question. A lot of implications for the broader lore of this AU. My Naeouma posts kind of made it canon that the killing game is a simulation in this AU, so presumably the audition videos are fake and Makoto's pregame-sona would also be fake.

Anyway, here's my thought process on Pregame Makoto, whether or not he really existed:

So, the theme of how the pregames were translated seems to be keeping the general vibes but going tropey and ironic with them. Pregame Shuichi wanted to be a detective for the cool murder tricks, as a trope subversion; he was made into a played-straight Ultimate Detective character, no trope subversion. Pregame Kaede specifically didn't like people, and she's made to be the tragic "Let's be friends after the killing game!" character.

If we interpret the Pregames as real, then this shows that the fans, or at least the ones who auditioned, wanted to see the show break new grounds or go in new directions with its established character archetypes, but the show was unwilling to do that.

If we interpret the Pregames as fake, then it just means someone thought up the cruelest interpretation of these characters, specifically to hurt the ones in the trial.

So my task here is to honor both possibilities and lowkey clarify Makoto's role here overall. I think the best Pregame Makoto for me right now is one whose motivation is to be popular. Where the gist of Pregame Shuichi's audition is "I'm a huge fan of Danganronpa and I really want to turn the usual tropes for an Ultimate Detective character on their head," and the gist of Pregame Kaede's audition is, "I have no faith in humanity, so I'd be great in a killing game," and the gist of Pregame Kaito's audition is, "I'm going to kill everyone and win for the fame and fortune so nothing will be impossible," Pregame Makoto's audition would basically be, "I don't know as much about Danganronpa as a lot of other people do, I could never win a Danganronpa trivia contest, but I know that people love Danganronpa characters, and I want to be like that. I don't care if I win any money, I don't care if I survive, I don't care if I kill; I just want everyone to like me, like they like Danganronpa characters."

Meaning either that Danganronpa took a guy whose whole thing was wanting to be liked no matter what and made him into all-around-good-guy Makoto who finds himself winning people over just by being himself, or Danganronpa took Ultimate Hope Makoto Naegi and spun his wholesome likability into a completely compassionless need for attention.

And I'd say, assuming he survives to see those audition videos in the trial, his reaction would probably be some form of denial. Basically, his mind goes, "That's not true to how I actually feel, and I know that's not representative of Kaede, Shuichi, or Kaito."

Honestly, and maybe I haven't given the matter enough thought, but I think he just generally doesn't have enough skin in the "truth and lies" motif to be quite as bothered by the idea of being fictional as the others are. I think he would pretty quickly reach the conclusion that their feelings for each other matter more than whether they should be considered real. The idea of "There's a person who used to live in this body who was destroyed to create you" I can see bothering him. Like, I think his take on that case is more reactive to Danganronpa's crimes than the nature of his own existence.

(The idea that Pregame Makoto is still in him and he'll always be on the lookout for those kinds of feelings is something that might come later.)

And he and Shuichi basically take different paths to the same conclusion: They have to end the killing games forever.

[drawbauchery]

Hiiiiiiiiii <3

Okay firstly LOVE the field trip au so sO SO SOOOOOOO MUCH PLEASE keep it up :D

Now, my question: Why does Kokichi seem so upset about kissing Shuichi? I mean, I scrolled so far just to try and understand the lore of the story and in one part Kokichi is fine with seeing Kaito + Shuichi kiss, but the moment he's offered to kiss with them he's got his panties all in a twist. Gonna put on my theorist hat for a sec and say that Kokichi 11037% likes Shuichi and DEFINITELY wants to be the one kissing him ͡ ❛ ͜ʖ ͡ ❛  BUT ALSO sees that he's happy with Kaito; deep down (although he won't admit it) he doesn't want to ruin what they've got because of his own feelings. I'm sorry I know that most of your asks are shorter than this but I'm so DARN captivated with the lore and Saiouma, I didn't know how to put this any shorter.

Have a good day/evening/night and thank you for reading this, and an EVEN BIGGER THANK YOU if you answer it.

THANK YOU!! i kill for long introspective asks so this got me all giddy aldkfn

keebo is the only character who can see people's messages, so kokichi didn't see that offer to join the smooches, and none of the characters actually said it.

he's a bit snappy because you're RIGHT. he's a lovesick little shit. he's not really fine seeing them kiss, but kaito & shuichi are the people he's grown closest to and he doesn't want to fuck that up. this is post-game; he figures he's on thin ice already.

I just saw the "characters that might have feelings for pc". So like what about Haru and Jin. The way haru was talking about the PC in the 4th Chapter. And Jin BEING A CUTIE PATOOTIE 😍

I mean it's a joseimuke so everybody has a chance of having feelings for the pc, really. I was just talking about in terms of the appearances of like doves during the story as indication of someone catching feelings.

Jin doesn't like that you're nervous around him and is very comfortable with and reliant on you--Jin worrying that you went missing and immediately going to save you from The Pit show he cares at the absolute minimum of his feelings!

(and all of frostheim thinks you're fucking too lol.)

Haru definitely could also have feelings for you--he definitely likes and appreciates you a lot--but he also might just heavily appreciate your work ethic and help and company, especially with how Towa and Ren aren't much help for him. He was pretty sloshed, I think he would've said something more straightforward if he was like in love at that point!

As far as story feelings go I think right now it's mostly Kaito, Towa, Taiga, and Sho like I said before, although we know many other characters are also very attached to you and, based on the genre, probably on their way to feelings that could be called love. Especially some of the max affinity voicelines. . .as usual for a joseimuke the pc is well loved among the characters, even the ones who don't like them very much haha.

There are some where the feelings don't feel very romantic at all(Ritsu and Jiro for example)--but that lack of romanticism is also in line with the character's behavior, and they may have shown some kind of attachment in other voicelines or scenes(Ritsu asking you to stay with him even though the workday is over and Jiro saying he hasn't had a family for a long time implying he sees you like family, for example) that suggests that they love you(maybe not romantically) but they express their comfort and attachment differently.

Haru's max affinity line has him saying when they have some spare money he wants to buy you your very own Jabberwock uniform--it wasn't as charming to me as the others, hence why I didn't include it when listing his voicelines, but if you think about it he sees Jabberwock as his kids, his family. So a jabberwock uniform of your own means 'you are family to me, you belong here with us.'

Jin's is something to the effect of 'i don't take you being here for granted, you know. I know it won't last forever.'(i'll post the exact wording when i get home and post his voice lines, but it was something like that) so his is more intimate--this is his last year on campus so he probably won't see you after he becomes a fourth year. No matter how he feels you won't be part of his life anymore very soon, and either you die in a year or your curse is lifted and you presumably will choose to leave Darkwick and go back to your normal life, so when he eventually becomes president you still won't be involved. So he values what you have while you're together--even if what you have is a master-servant relationship lol.

But. Yeah, it's a genre thing. Everybody loves you! But as far as story beats go we've got the four main ones I think, and some suspicions like Jin.

Do go off about the logical fallacies in Chapter 4, I always thought something was off about it. I'm curious to know your thoughts

Oh... if you insist... (currently bouncing off the walls with excitement ask??? I love answering ask—) ahem.

I suppose I can categorize my perceptions of Chapter 4 into levels of objectivity, with the highest being "I'm sure anyone with reading comprehension can understand the point I'm making and how this logic plays out" and the lowest being "I'm just petty about this"

Disclaimer: I'm a Kokichi liker but I kinda bash the guy in here. I insist it's out of a sense of love, as in "why the hell did you do that you little—" (my point is maybe don't read this if you're too too attached to Kokichi and don't like the insinuation that he did some bad stuff. Generally I assume this is a safe topic though.)

Let's start with my most objective take!

The murder setup was kinda garbage (might rephrase this heading later) (I didn't. fight me)

I know this sounds like opinion but hear me out. This is where the phrase "logical fallacy" really comes into play.

Let's outline Chapter 4 real quick. Miu is planning to kill Kokichi, and obviously Kokichi doesn't want this.

What are Kokichi's options from here? Apparently, one of them is reusing the motive from earlier in the chapter (the truth of the outside world) on Gonta to convince him to kill Miu under the guise of a mercy kill plan. This way, Kokichi doesn't die. This is what happens.

There's a lot to be speculated about regarding Kokichi's motivation for enacting this plan, but let's take the view that, first and foremost, Kokichi did not want to die to Miu.

With that out of the way, let's move on to the next piece of this defective puzzle: Miu's motive. We can cover this in two parts:

Part 1: Miu wants to kill Kokichi to escape the academy.

We can assume this much because she tried to set up a murder that would be near impossible to solve, as she would have had power over all the information available regarding the workings of the virtual world.

Kokichi makes the point in trial 4 that Miu coerced everyone to enter the virtual world so that she could manipulate the setting of the crime completely. She wanted to set up a murder that looked like it could only have happened in real life, while withholding the information that would reveal it was possible in the virtual world.

Kokichi was the only one who knew quite a few of the finer details that allowed case 4 to be solved, and she planned to kill him anyway, meaning these details wouldn't have come to light. Since her intent was an unsolvable murder, she wanted to get away with it and escape.

Part 2: For what reason did Miu want to escape?

We can see that she wanted to change the outside world with her inventions based on her own words in Chapter 4. In a flashback of the moments before she was killed, seen in the Chapter 4 post-trial, she explains this explicitly.

Her belief is that the outside world can be saved if she can only escape back out into it. She believes this is her duty as the Ultimate Inventor.

And finally, we reach the point that the logical fallacy falls into place. If we first assume that Kokichi Oma is a cunning individual who plans things out meticulously and considers all possibilities (thus allowing him to do ridiculously clever things like plan his own, truly unsolvable murder and write an entire script of dialogue for Kaito to use in trial 5), then we can assume that his actions in Chapter 4 are reflective of what he views as his optimal plan.

And yes, in-game evidence shows that we are, in fact, to believe that Kokichi Oma is inhumanly smart and analytical. A script. A SCRIPT, with lines for every possibility he could possibly envision. It's a freaking tome of borderline clairvoyance ahksfwosfawei (as you may notice I do not like the existence of Kokichi's script. A SCRIPT. I may be a Kokichi liker but am I really supposed to believe he's a freaking clairvoyant????? like can't you clairvoyant the end of the killing game bro????? and I adfkaweoiefdfshkj)

See, the thing is... Kokichi's optimal plan, having Gonta murder Miu... is... not... optimal...

There's an alternative solution. All the pieces are in place for it to work. And the salt in the wound, the twist of the knife...

...Is that Kokichi himself already knew the mechanism I'm about to propose.

If Kokichi wanted to survive Chapter 4, he could have removed Miu's motive to leave.

Using the already planted Flashback Light in the Virtual World which contained the memories of the true outside world, Kokichi could have demotivated Miu from even killing him. Her motive was saving the outside world, and Kokichi had what would have been irrefutable evidence that the outside world was unsaveable.

This logical fallacy could be explained by reasoning that Kokichi's motive for having Miu killed was not only to survive, but what then? What would Kokichi's motive have been otherwise? Maintaining a mastermind act?

Why would he even need to do that if he could have lobotomized the killing game by letting everyone find the Flashback Light in Chapter 4 to begin with?

Maybe that means the logical fallacy stems from the ultimate use of the outside world motive in Chapter 5, when the truth of the outside world is used by Kokichi to demotivate the entire group. If, say, seeing the outside world led everyone to become bloodthirsty for some reason (?) then I guess that dodges the fallacy?(??????) It's just kind of a garbage motive in general... it didn't even work as a motive when Kokichi used it, and it demotivated the others. Makes you wonder why it was even included.

I guess my point is that the logic really doesn't add up in Chapter 4 and 5 in exchange for some thoughtless added drama. Y'know, typical writing issues stuff.

Um... I spent quite a while writing this one part up, and this is the view that I care about most, so I might split the others into another post, if I even do another one.

In case I don't, I'll just do a quick overview because they're really not nearly as necessary to explain in depth:

The cord switching bit. With the rest of the Virtual World segment riffing off of games and gaming knowledge, the dissolution of suspension of disbelief hit me like a truck when I was told to believe that Gonta reversed the cords and the whole thing basically ran fine, with just the one issue of memories not transferring back. I... am a modder. I type C007_Ki-bo instead of C007_Ki-Bo, the game crashes. Hell, even without being a modder, I have a drawing tablet with 3 cords and if I don't plug them in right, it won't do anything (duh). No way am I buying this.

Not a logical fallacy, but more of a story writing shortcoming. It kinda sucks that Gonta barely had a substantial role in this chapter despite being the culprit. He didn't plan the murder he committed, and he didn't defend himself for the murder he committed. I get that the idea was probably to make a case centered around Kokichi more than Gonta, but (and I say this as a Kokichi liker) we see enough of Mister Oma as it is. Too much, maybe even. (I mean Kokichi has Chapter 5. He DIES in the Chapter 5 case but still plays a role in the trial. And we're really gonna just have him take over trial 4 when Gonta isn't seen for the rest of the game?)

(content: discontent towards Kaito) Also not a logical fallacy. Maybe not that much of a fallacy at all. I might just be petty but I thought Kaito was cringe the whole time. (okay me and Seb literally had to get up, close the game, and go take a walk outside because we were losing it from everything Kaito was saying. DO YOU???? NOT KNOW WHAT A HYPOCRITE IS????????)

A bit of a shill I guess, but I did write two fanfics which were heavily influenced by my views on chapters 4 and 5, which tried to remedy these fallacies and others in V3. Canon-compliant Bloodied Hands renders Tsumugi the ultimate mastermind behind every murder (not just Rantaro's) with her dramatic meddling leading to the emergence of V3's logical fallacies, while The World is His takes the same premise, just diverging from canon such that Kokichi lives.

[yuri-is-online]

I just wanted to say your posts single-handedly made me like Sho and I made a new account with him as my starter.

I'm still not through with ch2 on my first account (why are the battles so hard I only have 2 SRs to help me and rainbow apples are so limited T-T) so at that point I'd only seen Sho ignore mc and remember getting a short campus event where he literally goes "Oh it's just you, what do you want" or something along those lines so I thought he'd be just as bad as Leo lol. And ngl his design wasn't one of my favorites? But I'm the type who quickly grows on whoever I decide to like so now I love him and his silly bandana and the fact he literally wheels around with Bonnie in fights lol.

I'm especially curious about the Like Dove thing and how it works, initially I thought it was a conscious decision to send (like how Kaito assumed the gossiping girls sent it over for him/Luca) but I sincerely doubt anyone in Vagastrom was popular enough to get one (just bc they're scary) so why did it show up in front of mc and Sho when they barely had talked at that point??? Did he already like her or is it more like a "koi no yokan" thing?? I'm so curious about it. Does it show up in ch3 too? I don't see much mention of it.

Anyways, thank you for your Sho drabbles I love reading them sm!! Honestly I wish someone would upload the whole story somewhere so I can play the game at my own pace bc rn I'm just ITCHING to dump resources and try to get ahead (unsuccessfully)

;-; I am so sorry I made you start another account annon. I send love towards your rolls and ward you against the urge to spend money.

I also thought Sho was going to be just as bad as Leo and didn't like his design. The more he actually talked to MC and just in general the more that changed. He's not that bad of a guy at the end of the day, just loyal to a fault. I even like his little bandanna now, it's cute.

From the way Kaito describes the like dove I personally took it to mean that it was attracted to strong positive feelings towards someone. It can't exactly be sent somewhere because it is a sentient anomalous and independent animal. There are a few explanations for how the writers determine when it shows up, so I'll just work through my thoughts here.

The boring answer: stealing this one from someone on reddit, but the Like Dove shows up when MC starts making progress on getting close to the ghouls in the dorm. It shows up in Chapter 21 of Book 2 because Leo uses MC's enhancement and Sho feels sorry for her. I don't like this answer as much because it does not exactly explain why the Like Dove does not show up until the end of Book 3, as at least 2/3 of Jabberwock's ghouls like her pretty much from the start.

Still boring but slightly more fun answer: the like dove shows up when MC starts to have or accepts having positive feelings towards the ghouls around her. It appears in Chapter 21 and at the end of Book 3 because MC feels like she's really starting to help their dorms. This does not exactly work with Kaito's explanation that the dove comes to you when someone has positive feelings towards you.

"Yuri is doing lines of cope again" crack answer: I think describing it as a "koi no yokan" type thing probably makes the most sense. Kaito certainly seems to think of it as indicating romantic feelings, but he's a bit of a hopeless romantic so I'll take him with a pinch of salt. The Dove in Book 2 specifically appears after 1) Sho sees Leo and MC sitting on the couch together and asks if they're a thing and 2) MC asks about Sho's cooking. I don't think Sho ever really thought negatively of MC, he doesn't seem to have thought much about her at all. He describes Luca and MC as "normies" who he doesn't think Leo should waste time on, so no real hatred just indifference. Indifference that changes to reluctant fondness that same night when Leo forces him to stay behind by lying and MC compliments his cooking. So yeah, it shows up when someone has a sense that they could have strong positive feelings towards her. You could also say that it came due to the positive feelings Leo had about the ring helping him spy on Tohma and Alan, but I prefer to think it was from Sho. Because fuck Leo.

As you might have gathered the dove does show up again in Book 3, I forget the exact chapter but it's around when Haru promises to help MC with her curse. It's also the only dove that has showed up with all members of a house present, which is one of the reasons I like Jabberwock so much, best house fr fr. I will keep my eye out for it in Book 4 and keep you all updated, if you like my anon friend I'll try to make a summary post of the story so you can know what's going on while you try to convince the game to let you through. I am rooting for you!

I ALSO really like Kaito's relationship with Renamon. I love how Renamon instantly connected with him upon hearing that he just wanted to save his sister, and how he instantly liked "Haru" after seeing how he was with Miyuki.

It's always been kinda interesting to me that Renamon asked Kaito how he was doing/tested his feelings about Dracmon in part 6 despite usually showing an overall disinterest in most of the kids other than Takuma. I could be wrong, but I always kinda saw it as Renamon being curious about how a human child would feel about their actual sibling vs. their partner. Also always wondered if, in that moment, he approved of Kaito's choice to put his sister first or was hurt by him not choosing his partner.

I love how easily Kaito forgave Renamon for the shit he put everyone through. Didn't even think twice about it even though he or even Miu could've gotten hurt. All because he knew he woulda done the same thing.

Actually it's really funny to me that (at least at some point) Renamon totally would've killed Miu for Miyuki and Kaito totally would've killed Miyuki for Miu, yet they still completely understand each other and choose to be friends.

I like to think that post truthful they're each other's "learn to fucking let Miu/Miyuki go" supports.

Dracmon is only a little bit jealous that Kaito spends so much time with a different Kemonogami lmao. He needs an emotional support of his own.

First time I'm making a post and it's because of KaiShin cousin reveal. (d@mn)

This'll be very extensive because it's just a rant; I'm just writing as both a fan and a writer having been inspired by the franchise, so scroll past if you want to!

And this'll mainly be about my dissatisfaction and grievance over another decision Gosho Aoyama-sensei did, not about KaiShin as a ship.

I love Gosho Aoyama-sensei's work, Detective Conan, as it was literally the one thing that kept me going each and every time I go to and come back from school. It's one of the main things that has kept me going, and has inspired me to write.

Frankly speaking, without DetCo maybe I wouldn't have been writing at all, and thinking about that kind of saddens me.

One of the major things within DetCo that inspired me to write was of course, our very own beloved thief, Kaito Kid, what with how he was nearly a parallel to Shinichi (geniuses in their own ways but one's a thief that doesn't want anyone getting hurt in his heists and the other's a detective that will not hesitate to kick a soccer ball at a criminal trying to escape (Shinichi does it enough as Conan.))

As someone who has written numerous fan-works and has read the same amount but multiply that to, idk, a thousand? There's the sort of understanding of the fact that a character's past helps make them more relatable to the audience; makes them far more enjoyable, more real, in a sense.

The same way a person is shaped through their past.

One of the very foundations of Kaito Kuroba's character is his trauma; its one of the reasons why he becomes Kaito Kid, taking up the mantle his dad had left behind.

It's one of the main cruxes of his entire character, taking up the mantle of a Phantom Thief that doesn't steal anything. He just wants one THING, the reason his father died.

"Why is he doing this? Because his dad died.

But his dad's alive? So what is he doing this for then?

He didn't know they were alive 👀"

So making his dead dad not-so-dead kinda makes this aspect weak. It's weakening Kaito's character as a whole and is painting Toichi Kuroba in a very, very bad light.

And it's upsetting as a fan for someone whose work was held in such high regard to just, make this seemingly off-hand decision that is somewhat harming the character of one that has been the fan-favorite of many.

And not to mention this is also affecting the fandom itself as shipping is a major thing in fandoms (always has been) and KaiShin is one of the many more populous shipping fanbases there is. No exaggeration. Literally.

That's all from me! I ran out of things to get out of my system and need to move back to writing KaiShin fics to comfort myself on what the hexagon just happened.

[oddeyesarcpendulumdragon]

another late @arcvmonth prompt fill but I have decided to be nice to myself and just do things at my own pace

Anyway this is for Day 5, role swap, and I decided to dabble a bit in the Fusion-XYZ swap that used to be popular back in the day

Main art is of Sora and Shun's swap since they're the most prominent roles. Shun's outfit is semi-based off of Kaito's, as in XYZ instead of Obelisk Force, they would have the Number Hunters. The actual Number Hunters would wear an outfit pretty identical to Kaito's white coat design, but Shun's is a little different (the way Sora's is different from Obelisk Force) because he's trying to be a spy and all lol. I kept his signature colors/palette, I just wanted to make him look a little sleeker since he's not coming out of a civilian life where he got fucked up by a military invasion.

For Sora, I decided that since Academia is no longer a military school, their uniforms would end up being pretty much the same as they were in GX. I wanted to alter Sora's design a bit to show that this was a different universe, so I changed his jacket to be more like an actual GX jacket (still Obelisk Blue because come on he's still a good duelist lol), and his shorts are based off of Rei's uniform in GX, cause idk boy just looks good in shorts. Added a cloak because he had to be sort of incognito at first, like Shun and Yuto with their masks, and because even in canon all the Fusion kids are always wearing cool cloaks haha.

I have more thoughts under the cut but I don't want this post to get too long:

So basically, the swap's premise is that Leo goes to XYZ first and starts his child soldier grooming program there instead. This means that Academia is a normal duel school, while Heartland becomes essentially one big child soldier factory. Leo spreads his influence to multiple Heartland schools and connects them into one interdimensional army network.

Shun and Ruri are still siblings. They grew up together, and when Leo came along and started militarizing the schools, they just kind of got swept up in it. Leo located Ruri rather quickly, but since she already had some family ties, he couldn't isolate her as easily. So he rolled both Shun and Ruri into some of his more elite training squads.

Ruri is still kept in Heartland, but now she has not only Leo, but Shun also telling her to stay put and that she shouldn't participate in the invasion.

Shun is still very young when Leo gets ahold of him, so he swallows the whole "we have to destroy this other dimension for the sake of universal peace" pretty easily, and gets very gungho about it, because he wants to protect the world for his sister. Ruri also swallows the story, and wants to be a hero like her brother by fighting the "bad guys."

Meanwhile, Academia is just an ordinary school with ordinary kids doing ordinary stuff. Sora is just another student. He's super smart and good at dueling, but doesn't have a lot of drive to impress anyone and is considered a problem child. This gets him to butt heads with the star student of the school, Selena, who is annoyed that Sora is always lazing about, while Sora is annoyed that Selena is always nagging him.

You may ask, where are the dragon boys in this scenario? I'm glad you asked!

Yuto is still friends with Shun and Ruri, however, Leo has been taking steps to isolate him from them by sending him on lots of missions of his own. I didn't draw yuto cause I didn't want to try and design an outfit for him, but he plays a similar role to Yuuri: his job is to go and find girls that look like Ruri. Leo tells him that Ruri is special and there are girls like her who need to be found and taken into protective custody. Unlike Yuuri, who was very sadistic in his own way, Yuto is very genuine. He truly believes he's doing the right thing, and that in and of itself is terrifying. When he faces an opponent, he's always trying to comfort them, like "it's okay, being carded doesn't hurt, it's going to be all right." Which is scary! To most people!

Yuuri is another smart student at Academia who sees no need to prove himself to anyone, like Sora, so the pair of them tend to get along. He's one of those annoying kids who never studies but gets an A++ on everything he does and he has a big head about it. Yuuri's a bit of a prankster and a tease, so he also annoys Sora just as much as Selena does - but he annoys Selena far more.

Anyway, the invasion hits them HARD like it did the other way around in canon. Some of the elite students of the Academia barricade themselves in the school and defend with siege tactics as a last-ditch rebellion. Yuto is sent in to collect Selena, but Sora encounters him first. Sora challenges him and loses. But Selena arrives in time and threatens to make Yuto's job hell trying to chase her down if he cards Sora, but that if he lets Sora go, she'll go with him quietly. Sora blames himself for Selena's kidnapping, and the guilt drives him to find a way to get her back.

Unlike Sora, who in canon didn't have anything to do with the invasion, Shun actually is sent to Fusion as part of a strike force where he really racks up the card count and is considered a super powerful soldier. So Leo entrusts him then with the mission to head to Standard to keep an eye on Reiji.

Things go sideways for him though when 1) he notices Pendulum summoning and 2) he meets a girl who looks just like his sister.

So Shun goes to You Show instead, deciding this is a more effective use of his spying. While there, Yuzu ends up asking him to teach her XYZ summoning, which he agrees on account of her reminding him of Ruri.

So at this point, you can kind of guess where things go. Sora and Shun clash, Ruri runs away from Heartland to see if she can help her brother, and she meets Yuzu, who tells her to get the whole story.

Ruri arrives just in time to see her older brother throwing Sora down a flight of stairs after beating him in a duel, and she's horrified. How could her loving older brother do something like this? Shun is also horrified, because Ruri turns on him. He has no choice but to end up retreating back to Heartland, and Ruri stays behind.

Shun starts to switch sides a little faster than Sora did in canon, because now it's personal. At first he thinks that Ruri's been brainwashed or coerced by Reiji, so he's furious and desperate to take revenge, but once he has a chance to think about it, he starts to consider how Weird his childhood is and how much Leo was always trying to separate him and Ruri. So he starts to investigate what's actually happening - plus, he thinks Yuzu was kidnapped, and he feels guilty for getting her involved.

As another swap, Dennis and Sayaka switch places. Dennis is back in Academia trying his damndest to support the rebellion, but he's terrified and hates himself for his cowardice. Meanwhile, Sayaka was groomed into becoming a spy. She didn't end up becoming friends with Ruri in this continuity, so Ruri doesn't recognize her when she joins the Lancers - but Sayaka did still meet Yushou and was enamored with his dueling style, like Dennis was. She's quiet and sweet and wracked with guilt for everything she's done, but is too afraid to stand up to Leo and the Number Hunters.

anyway this is getting long! You can probably extrapolate some stuff from there :) maybe i'll do more scribbles about this au again sometime.

[thelemoncoffee]

idk if i've ever made a post about this but a while back i had a convo with a friend where we were talking about how because my hc Shuichi doesn't really talk about himself alot, a large chunk of his interests and habits go unknown.

this lead to us thinking about how Kaito feels like the kind of person who thinks he knows his sidekicks like the back of his own hand, and that if he ever found out that there's a massive chunk of shuichi's identity he doesn't know about- he'd stuggle to wrap his head around the concept.

it then devolved into going "what if Kaito refused to believe he doesn't know Shuichi all that well and Shuichi threw a 'shuichi facts' pop quiz at him to prove his point". the answer was Kaito fucking bombs the quiz. all the questions were really standard like favorite color and what kind of pet he owns, but stuff that is just never brought up about him so Kaito didn't actually know the answers and had to make guesses based on what he already knew. this definatly made him have to rethink how he interacts with Shuichi, cause he does want to be that one best friend to him who knows him the best, and he ain't it right now

bonus points- we also joked about Kaito losing it cause Miu was watching and asked Shuichi to make him guess if he was a virgin, and instead of saying no Shuichi said "i can do you one better, Momota- at what age did i loose my virginity".

Kaito was not prepared to get his pure, wholesome view on Shuichi shattered like that after having just had his reality flipped on it's head over the quiz

Ruikasa posting that got away from me (again). You guys can’t be mean to me pandemonium is on engsekai in like five days. don’t blame me blame colopale.

Ruikasa is very interesting for me 2 think abt wrt rui and his hang ups bc Rui is very single-minded in going after what interests him - he taught himself robotics/engineering/a million other things, he pursued directing on his own, he would rather stick to his own paths and do what he wants to do instead of do what would make him more palatable to his peers

Rui: I wouldn't be expending my energy on something I don't intend on doing.

Tsukasa: Yes. That's the kind of person you are. You wouldn't be doing something if you didn't really want to...

Rui: right?

(Wonder Halloween)

(Area dialogue)

I don’t feel like hunting down every instance of kids around him going “we don’t want to play with you because it’s dangerous/we think you’re weird” I think I’ve done that enough times. But my point with those instances is that he valued what he loved over attempting to become someone who would fit in.

Desiring to connect with a person beyond the level of just friendship/wanting to know way more about someone is different than studying & learning a subject though, bc it’s

1) typically a two way street in that it’s reliant on the other person to want to share things and want to connect with you in return

2) also reliant on you not fucking up the relationship, which is pretty easy to do if you come out guns blazing like “hey you fascinate me & I want to know what makes you tick. And also everything else about you.”

Both points being something rui has zero experience with. Which is also why I think he opted to ask other people about tsukasa instead of talking to him directly.

(Kaito initial 2*)

(Area conversation)

He’s still very curious about Whatever The Fuck is up with tsukasa tenma but he’s obviously pursuing knowledge a little less intensely/overtly than he does for other stuff

(After talking about movie directing techniques) Director Ohara: … Well, that might not be useful to you as someone who’s aiming to become a stage director.

Rui: …No.

Rui: I’d rather be taught more specific techniques.

Director Ohara: …Huh?

Rui: What I want to create is a show that everyone can enjoy regardless of any limits.

Rui: In order to make that dream come true, I want to learn about direction in all kinds of media.

Director Ohara: …Oh?

Rui: That’s why I want to absorb any ideas and ways of thinking from any field.

Rui: All of the methods you know — please teach them to me.

(Backlight lens flare - TL haruka’s penguin)

All of that to say Rui is very clearly interested in learning more about Tsukasa, but also (imo) very wary of overstepping any social boundaries that would damage their current relationship.

He mentions that he tended to rely on shows to connect to other people around him in Pandemonium -

Rui: I had always thought that I could never properly understand everyone around me.

Rui: As I started doing shows at Wonder Stage with everyone, my way of thinking and feelings began to change.

Rui: Now, I am able to understand and connect with someone without relying on shows, and I’ve come to value the beauty of laughing alongside others.

Rui: that’s why — tsukasa-kun. Thank you for giving me the chance to change.

(Pandemonium - TL tsukasa’s #3 fan)

- which is also the event where he & tsukasa connect more *outside* of shows, and the event that both he and tsukasa acknowledge as an event that made them grow a lot closer. (more recent connect live, wrt them talking abt performing fixer, iirc. I hate to “source: trust me” but we’ve reached my limit for hunting down sources & it’s finding a tweet from forever ago where someone translated what they were talking about)

Anyways. Sorry. I just love that quote & what it says about Rui. I’ll spare you the “directing as a one way street/settling for the closest thing to a connection/laughing *alongside* others instead of providing a show for the audience to laugh at (ensekai if you change that specific sentiment I’ll be so mad)” thoughts. Back to the original point.

It’s interesting to think about how rui’s hang ups wrt friendships and his very intense curiosity/very determined pursuit of knowledge on the subjects that interest him intersect. Like. Before this point, whenever he was interested in something he could just go online and read everything he needed to know and satisfy his curiosity to his heart’s content.

Having to both navigate something completely foreign and pump the brakes on obsessively learning everything he can would be a novel experience for Rui. To say the least. “If I pursue this with as much intensity as I do with any other endeavor I am going to fuck something up (he is suffering)” kind of situation.

Being interested in a *person* is so much different & so much trickier and scarier to navigate. Especially with how much Rui values his relationship to Tsukasa as someone Who Matches His Freak.

and with Rui’s whole “I should be satisfied with what I have and if I’m not then it’s because I’m greedy/selfish” :

Rui: (… Geez, I really lack a backbone. When will the time come when I find myself satisfied with the way things are?)

(…)

Rui: (While working to make my dream come true, together with everyone, I will make their dreams come true. A way to do that — let me think of one.)

Rui: (fufu, how greedy of me.)

(Curtain call - TL Arven Oven & tsukasa’s #3 fan)

(Talking abt wanting to keep doing shows with wxs and his actions in OHE) Rui: Now that I think about it, I’ve been pretty selfish.

(World link - TL haruka’s penguin)

I think Rui’s approach to it would be very “I’m asking for more when I already have a great friendship I’m The Most Selfish Person Alive & must never say anything” which, tbf, would be his reaction wrt having feelings for literally anyone, not just tsukasa. However. Since this is a ruikasa post. unfortunately. I will say that what would be exclusive to Tsukasa is “he’s already given me so much and I still want more… I’m The Most Selfish Person Alive & must never say anything.” Rui is dramatic like that.

[internals1ut]

Hi! I just see another request about Dom Mc and Tohma and hmm😏😏

Can say anything since I read it in the middle of the night when I supposed to prepare for my tomorrow test-

🫂❤

I just wonder...

If Dom Mc domming the ghouls... Who will be to most surprised that they're bottom or actually enjoying it? Or maybe surprised that the Mc actually a Dom? And who will cry the most?

Just want your opinion, so you can answer this when you have free time(⁠.⁠⁠❛⁠⁠ᴗ⁠⁠❛⁠.⁠)

(I hope you don't mind that I want to be 🫂❤ anon :3)

Thank you once again for giving us free meal-

🫂❤

Hello 🫂❤ anon!

Just so you know these aren't free.... Your payment is to join my discord server linked on @internalscream1ng carrd! (You don't have to I just need an excuse to plug this in lol)

I'm so happy you and others have been enjoying Dom MC whether it's the female or the male one. Kind of makes me turn around on my Lucas x Kaito x MC ship and make her/him/them a top ^^ But however people want to portray them all depends on them! For me I'll continue to write MC as a switch though since I am assuming everyone is seeing them as a "reader" than MC since no canon name wahhh ( from what I know if I am wrong, uhhhhhhh out me -)

But enough of my rambles let's see which TKDB Boyz ( Out of my list on who is a bottom ofc) is most surprised who is a bottom!

18+/nsfw/minors gtfo

Kaito - When he got with MC he assumed he would top. I mean he talked about such a big game beforehand. But once in the bedroom, he got shy. So MC offers to take the lead and afterwards - he has never been the same ever again - he will lay there once MC is done. Did he enjoy it? Let him think about it

Tohma - I made a post about him here . He did enjoy it , but it was probably a one or two time thing before never again.

Leo - Of course he will like it when he doesn't have to do the work. He is such a pillow princess , he thinks he is too pretty to do any work during sex. But is gorgeous when he tears up and begs ~

Haru - He was shocked at first and gave a little "wait a minute"- once it was all done and over with. He starts to question MC about how they know about these kinds of things - soon his questions become too much that even MC got flustered. Haru did not dislike it at all! However Towa got jealous.

Romeo - HOW COULD THIS HAPPEN?! THIS BB TOPPED HIM?! THE FICO?! GAH!!! NO ONE CAN FIND OUT ABOUT THIS!!! HE WILL DESTROY WHOEVER FINDS OUT!!!! NEVER AGAIN WILL THAT HAPPEN!! IT'S ALREADY BAD ENOUGH THAT TAIGA DOES IT TO HIM HE DOES NOT NEED ANOTHER!!! NO NO NO!!! It will be a one time thing, he didn't dislike it, but he is too embarrassed to do it again.

Yuri - BOTTOM BITCH BOTTOM BITCH EVERYONE POINT!!!! Here is that post that I made recently of Fem MC domming but just think about it! He will call MC topping a "learning" experience not that he wants to enjoy it ( spoiler alert he did like it)

Subaru - He was a crybaby during sex. I wrote him sobbing before here and here . So he will get teary eye during sex. He does like it from MC but he doesn't want them to be too rough, he got Lyca for that and that is enough.

Edward - He will try and tell MC what he wants done but MC does their own thing and leaves Edward in small shock, not disappointed though. "You know... I've seen some things - some what we did I already did - But I am more surprised the Honor Roll will do these kinds of things... So naughty"~

Sorry this took a moment I hope you enjoy it!

[itslouisan]

Well, short post on Urahara as a vocaloid fan

Okay so, I said how I believe Urahara is a vocaloid fan in my last post, so I thought why can't I elaborate? Hell maybe expand it to what I think other characters would listen to

Urahara:

• He'd like Miku, Vflower, Fukase, Len and Kaito songs.

• His first ever vocaloid song would be strobe light, world is mine, triple baka or rosary pale; (even though I'm sure there's others songs he'd like and I'll talk about it in a second)

• He'd love the idea of virtual singers, probably nerding out to ANYONE about how he thought it was a great technology for musicians who didn't want to expose themselves, were beginners or just wanted to experiment something new, and how he thought this source could be the future of the music industry or even idol industry, having so much potential to evolve and change (which he was correct)

• He would probably try his best to go to a magic mirai show, would get the light sticks, everything.

• About producers, I think he'd be into Kikuo, Materu, Wowoka, Kanaria, Aira, Pinocchio, Akka and Deco 27 (perhaps Ichika too), but there's millions of producers, and since I'm not fluent in japanese, I can more easily list songs than the producers unfortunately since searching about the producers takes time and has a language barrier, specially considering vocaloid is all over the place and in theory everyone who makes music using vocaloid, even covers and small stuff, could be a producer, so ehhhh-

• Collects figures. I think he would be more into the complex figures and looks rather than the prize ones that are simpler

Some examples of figures I think Kisuke would like:

Songs I think Kisuke would relate/like more than others:

1- Strobe Light

An underrated song, in my interpretation of strobe light, it talks about breaking the routine, a girl who's so stuck in it she craves for something new but doesn't have the courage of trying. At the same time could talk about the line between life blurring and becoming gray, boring, with nothing interesting easily, it talks about how everyone around you seems to move on while you're stuck in a point of your life trying to change and try, still people move on, die, give up, and you can't do anything about it, yourself wanting to give up and feeling lost.

My take is that Kisuke would like it since he'd find it in his early months of exile, feeling lost, that everyone moved on, that he'd have to fight to adapt and survive in this new life, together with guilt of his friends being stuck with him now and losing their lives due to his own mistakes. He'd be stuck in a lifeless hopeless situation and routine, trying hard to break free but unable to, after all the situation wouldn't allow him to. He'd crave for freedom, for giving everyone comfort and rest, yet he couldn't rest, stop, live comfortably for a long time, everything blurring out, I think he'd listen to it a lot in his first MP3 player.

2- Cinderella

Okay urayoru moment, in my view, Cinderella is about 2 people leaving everything behind, their lives, their expectations, just wanting to be with each other and trusting that despite the odds of their situation they can be together and happy having each other's company even in dark times with a great love and trust to change their lifes

WHICH IS SO KISUKE AND YORUICHI??? Yoruichi giving away her status, her expectations as a member of the Shihōin clan, her old life, everything to save her friends BUT SPECIALLY Kisuke, trusting that he could pull it off and make a better life for them.

3- love trial

A song about someone who had such a terrible experience in love and relationships, that lost the trust completely in others, judging a partner who had previously liked and had affection for, and in the first place trying not to warm up to them and liking them again.

Another urayoru take, because we all agree Kisuke has trust issues, but I say maybe he always liked Yoruichi, but, because of his issues, when Yoruichi WAS ready to show and give him affection, he wasn't ready in the first couple of weeks or months because of previous events in his love life and life in general (which I hc Kisuke never got the handle of emotional romantic relationships and his first time doing sex with someone was terrible so yup, poor thing) but eventually melting this resolve and accepting he wanted to be happy with her.

4- Plus boy

OKAY HEAR ME OUT, he IS a pervert, no matter what you think, SO A SONG LIKE THAT FROM LEN? Hell he eats it up, plus, plus boy is about a teen boy (or teens in general) and the first signs of sexual attraction and leaving the childhood innocence of stuff, I hc Kisuke became more perverted around 14 years old, so it matches. Plus it's fire.

5- Copy cat

So, Kisuke definitely can't get the handle of social interactions and social cues, I view him as the nerd cast out kid, so, I imagine due to my hc of him having autism, he learned with time to mask all his "undesirable" and "unlikeable" traits that pushed people off, taking this facade for so long he copied the behaviors of other kids, teens, colleagues, liked people, viewing himself as someone with no essence or real personality, that is, he said "fuck it" at some point stopping the masking traits but still having personas, which is progress I guess when we're talking about Kisuke and the fact Shinigami are ageless so this could take centuries of evolution :v

Honorable mention:

In one of the asks kon made, we can see the door of Kisuke's room in the shōten, which translated to "Kisuke's castle", FIGHT ME BUT THIS DOOR DEFINITELY BLASTED WORLD IS MINE INSIDE THERE SOME POINT AND HAD LED LIGHTS CHANGING COLORS TO IT, WEARING A PRETTY DRESS AND CROW.
