Egbert x his wife has to be one of the best sfth ships. i just love Sam’s portrayal of a very jealous wife + Luke’s “I love everything about you” speech that honestly got me squealing

so. lucanis' trinkets are whetstones. davrin's trinkets are whittling knives, the item descriptions of which note the need to be sharpened frequently. coincidence??? oh-ho-ho. some people might indeed think that, but I'm not so sure.

(I am imagining a very charming scenario post-burying the hatchet after Weisshaupt where davrin is like '*looks down at figure he's carving while rook is busy talking to someone annoying and important or whatever, looks at too-dull whittling knife, looks at lucanis sitting next to him, swallows pride, sighs* ...lucanis can I borrow your whetstone for a moment 🥺👉👈 I forgot mine at home'. and I think lucanis has enough little shit energy left in that relationship to maybe ask to hear the magic word, warden, and then let's see, but that's only to get to hear davrin say 'lmao go fuck yourself lucanis' with beginning real affection. and then he's like 'of course you can. if we can get spite to stop playing with it for five minutes, at least'. and rook returns to a scene of unexpected peace and co-operation and spirited and exhaustingly in-depth conversations about the best knife sharpening techniques. assan has been eating sawdust while no one was paying attention and is going to throw up within the hour but no one has been stabbed or even threatened with it and we must take our wins where we can find them in this messed up twice-blighted world)

It felt dishonest to make compilations of all of the main men in this show and leave Cheum out of it when she's part of the Messy F4. To be honest, Cheum dresses simply, but Lookjun makes all of these look very good. I really had high hopes for Cheum before this show aired, but at least she delivered when it came to her outfits. Also, her favorite pants (the jeans with a hole in the back and one in the front) was used around 11-12 times that we can see it.

He looks so different with glasses 😂 did not recognize him at first

terribly funny how much more generic he can get with a thick frame of raybans like ive always believed the whole glasses as a disguise would never work irl but i got punked so hard that when i first saw him in glasses i was like "oh another man" glossed over him then felt the same sensation as when i forget to buy milk at the store, swiped back, scrutinised this for far longer than im comfortable admitting publicly and went "oh my god THATS MY MAN GIRL WHAT ARE YOU DOING"

[petorahs]

what other hsr ships do you like, if any?

quite a few!

(disclaimer pls dont get mad at me for any ships i mention, and note that they never affect what i draw for Avenday 😭)

I have a ScrewTio wip coming up and ive drawn them before :3 literally so interesting. just as much foils as Avenday i would say

other than that in terms of OTP: AcheSwan, BronSeele, Jingliu x Bai Heng, whatever the hell Feixiao x Jiaoqiu x Moze polycule have going on

do NOT separate the girlfriends or i'll start tweaking..(lighthearted)

as mentioned in prev tags i love both RobiFly and StelleFly! CaeFly is... ok i guess but only if i put them in my elaborate headcanons and even then it works just as well with Stelle. I plan to draw RobiFly soon they are soooooo cute to me :3

theres more but i'll mention in tags!

A random line from the next chapter?

OH! Why of course, heheh

Let me share with you one line I'm really delighted in

Dad tells him how to pose and to smile and he does his best and dad looks so happy! So, he smiles a little extra. He just knows dad loves him when dad looks at him as if he’s worth a million bucks.

AHHHH!!! Hihih! I do adore this one quite a bit!

Just- Just think about it.

Take a moment and think about it, what does it mean?

Heh What does it really mean to be worth a million bucks in the eyes of a billionaire?

I think that may tell you a lot about how Dale does care. He does adore money, so of course he cares for his son, right?

Hehehe

That poor kid man

[sieglinde-freud]

rereading the cynthia inigo support and im like wow. forgot how cute they were. like ohymgod… what the fuck… EXCEPT THAT ONE LINE AT THE END but like still. wow. i should pair them sometime i forgot cynthia was my favorite vanilla game pairing for inigo for a reason…

YEAR OF THE FANGAN - AUGUST EDITION

ꕥ DANGANRONPA: DRIVEN BETRAYAL ꕥ

It's time to talk about one of the few fangans I've actually been following the production on! Driven Betrayal has been on my radar for a while now, with me pretty much solely using Twitter to sporadically check in on the story's development. So, I was ecstatic when I heard the news that the prologue was dropping this month, and taken aback by just how good it was!

For starters, I was pleasantly surprised to learn just how this fangan was formatted in the first place: a mix of longer-form videos on Youtube, and story posts on Instagram. I've never encountered a fangan that uses mixed media before (outside of maybe Penguinronpa, but that's moreso posting their slides on Youtube rather than blending both mediums at once), so it automatically adds some charm points to the story.

However, what really drew me into this story is the central premise of it: it follows Ennosuke, a survivor from a previous killing game who find himself thrust into a new one, with only his past experiences and connection to private investigator Jun to help him through it. From the pre-prologue alone so many interesting questions are raised about this story: how will Ennosuke once again deal with a situation so traumatic to him the first time? What connection does the previous game's mastermind have to this new one? Were Jun's motivations for joining the new killing game truly just to investigate it? There's so much unexplored territory that makes it all the more interesting to follow, which I see as an absolute plus in a genre filled with more by-the-books, solely-focused-on-cast-intros-and-set-dressing prologues.

Speaking of Ennosuke, he's officially joined the roster of "fangan main characters I adore just as much as the side cast", a rare feat very few protags have the honor of having! Really, the foundational work for his character set up by this prologue is amazing: as a survivor of the previous killing game (and one who seemed like a once-irrelevant side character from my understanding of the pre-prologue), he's left with heavy trauma about the event, having since given up his kendoka talent and becoming a more closed-off and jaded person. With the story laying out a trust vs. distrust theme, I'm excited to see just how he develops, especially since both Fujiko's role in the prologue and Takako's involvement in promotional materials seem to serve as a direct counter to Ennosuke's closed-off demenor.

That's not to say the side cast is slouching at all though, since right off the bat I adore pretty much all of them! More goofy characters like Rie and Fumiaki do a good job at helping the prologue feel light and breezy, more logical-minded characters like Jun and Yoshimitsu make sure the tone stays grounded, and there's even some more relatively-normal characters with fun quirks, like Dai and Shigetoki. Because of it, the cast is super well-balanced tonally, and are a joy to watch the interactions of!

And that's it, that's all! Seriously, go check this thing out if you have the chance, and as per usual, I'll see you in the next one!

FORMAT: "Instaronpa" / Video

WHERE TO FIND IT: On both Youtube and Instagram (please note that both formats work in service of one another! If you solely consume one of these, you're probably gonna get super confused, lol)

FAVORITE MOMENT: The argument between Ennosuke and fellow first-killing-game-survivor Hibuko in the pre-prologue (but if you wish to exclude that, I'd say Ennosuke and Jun speaking to one another just before the mascots show up, and Ennosuke realizing his worst fears are right)

FAVORITE CHARACTER: Fumiaki Hosekawa. Due to his status as the Qualified Youth Parody Artist, he's naturally a cocky, carefree goof who makes confusing "jokes", doesn't have any tact whatsoever, and butts heads with the more-mature Ennosuke (and apparently wrote all Minecraft / video game song parodies in this world? Seriously, that's amazing)

OTHER STANDOUT CHARACTERS: Yoshimitsu Masako, my pre-story fave whose calm demeanor and immediate desire for logical deductionism already makes him a great leader (even if I don't see him living for very long because of it, lol), and Ennosuke Shiokawa, for all the reasons listed in the main article.

Penny: "Okay, what's up?" Sheldon: "I'd like to discuss this party that Amy and Bernadette are throwing. Since you and I are both reluctant to go, I think I've come up with a perfect way for us to enjoy it." Penny: "Great! How?" Sheldon: "We pretend we're aliens." Penny: 😑 Sheldon: "I'm not the best at reading facial cues, but I'm going to say that you love it and want to hear more! Now, in the beloved novel The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, an alien named Ford Prefect pretended to be human in order to blend in so that he could write an entry about Earth for The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, which is a travel book within the actual book, which is also called The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy." Penny: "Okay, just one question. . . what?" Sheldon: "My point is, pretending to be an alien is a valuable coping mechanism I've used many times! I did it the first time I went to see you in a play. You had no idea that Commander Umfrumf of Ceti Alpha Three was in the audience. Oh, don't worry! He gave you seven thumbs up." The Big Bang Theory 8x08 The Prom Equivalency
