As per usual, it’s DP crossover with (probably) DC, although you could probably adjust it for other fandoms

ANYWAYS

A little kid and his mother are trick or treating in another city, perhaps at some kind of event rather than knocking on doors, and the kid is dressed as Phantom. It’s very adorable, with his little ghost-shaped bucket and clearly homemade and already stained costume—listen, white only works if you can just fly over street grime or phase it out of your clothes—and his slightly I’ll fitting wig. The kid is SO happy to be out and about dressed as his favorite, and maybe even showed it off to Phantom back in Amity Park before his family left.

The hero, insert whoever you wish here, is probably in civvies and just enjoying the event. The kid, meanwhile, is so glad when people ask who he is so he can explain, and so- the hero gets to hear ALL ABOUT the local town hero who is probably pretty small time despite the kid’s clearly exaggerated stories. The hero certainly never heard of him, but the kid’s mom confirms that Phantom really was the town hero, despite some mixed reviews of the poor guy.

“Did you manage to show him your costume?” the hero asks.

“Yeah! We went down to the cemetery to leave flowers and I got to show him my costume.”

Wait. Cemetery? Maybe it was part of theme, because Phantom had to be named that for a reason, but… it sounded like…

The kid ignores the suddenly VERY still hero and instead turns to his mom. “Momma, do you think we should bring him candy? He doesn’t get to trick or treat like we do, and I can work super hard to get him a bunch!”

The kid’s mom just smiles. “We could, but maybe we should bring him something homemade. I bet he’d like something more filling, teen boys like him have a hollow leg.”

The kid wrinkles his nose. “Like Vernie with the pizza bagels?”

“Like your cousin, yes. We can make some cinnamon rolls and take them to his memorial, maybe bring some of the apples from your grandpa’s garden…”

The hero is pretty much forgotten as the two-part family wanders off, not quite intentionally forgetting the hero is there so much as the hero somewhat accidentally ended the conversation when they just froze and didn’t ask anything further.

Not that the hero didn’t want to. But they’d learn something very serious.

One—there was a small town hero they’d never heard of. Two—that hero was apparently a teen. Third—most pressingly, the teen hero was both beloved enough to have kids dressing up as him and dead enough to have a grave.

This… might require some phone calls.

raphlep memes because im obsessed with them

[angelnumber27]

you are literally faking all of your “problems” for attention. I have bpd, past severe subst abuse problems, suicidal treatment resistant depression, abuse history and I’m not on here all ditzy posting kittens and tits, in fact my shit on here is disgusting and scary. No one with severe problems has a lil flower blog, just lying and begging 4 money making us REAL troubled ppl look fake as u are

So because I post images of kittens and tits I don’t have the mental illnesses I’ve been diagnosed with? Where’s the logic like this is the most absurd stupid thing I’ve heard in a while and it’s actually incredibly harmful to think like this.

I think maybe you should not be on this website or the internet at all if this is how you’re going to act

I hope you feel better bc this is not how you treat people 🖤 and this entire take in general is very very dumb

Here’s screenshots of my ongoing health conditions :) I cropped out a couple bc I felt like it lol

I’m sorry that I don’t solely post depressing negative shit. I don’t see a reason to do that. My goal here is to lift people up not tear them down. This makes absolutely no sense whatsoever

You need help babe. Badly

Hi, it's me again. I decided to follow your advice and try to seek out your 'actually serious' analysis, which led me to your komahina bible, the most easy to find compilation of this supposed analysis. Here are my thoughts-

1) Overview

- Most of this 'analysis' isn't analysis but a summary/overview of the game. It's not so much a 'bible' as a children's book summary of the bible, which at that point it would be better to play the actual game itself. It's clear it was made for a presentation on the 'uninitiated' if you will, but if that's the case, you shouldn't be advertising it as the literal bible on the subject.

- When you are not regurgitating points from the game beat by beat, the screen is halfway filled with either manga panels or fanart. My gripes with manga panels are, that even though they do depict the events of the game, the way they can be depicted by the artist can be pretty subjective due to the freedom of the medium in comparison to sprites, and that the role of one character can differ depending on whose pov manga it is (chiaki vs nagito). Fan art therefore should be scrutinized even more since it fully depicts abstracted and even the fandomified version of events, leading to situations where it's either unclear what is actually happening or betrays your more shallow view of the characters (i talk abt this later.)

- When you do use pictures directly from the game it's either a possible screenshot from a memorable moment or dialog from the wiki, limited almost exclusively to the freetime events. This leads me to believe that you haven't actually played the game(there are other factors hinting towards this) or watched a Let's Play of it, but going off of merely information that's already widely known and circulating within the fandom, and easy to search on the wiki.

2) Incorrect/Questionable information

Here I'll compile a lot of information that's either plainly wrong or baffling to having come to that conclusion , leading more credence to the theory that you either haven't actually played the game or your memory of it isnt as good as you think.

-"if Nagito's plan went off of without a hitch, he would have killed anyone that was closes to him at the time" plainly wrong. Komaeda's goal from the start was to make himself the victim, so by dying this way his death could have meaning and help the others. For somebody that keeps talking about Komaeda's "Martyr complex" this is truly a weird take to have.

-"Nagito...got the nurse for sure sick" is there any proof that specifically points to Komaeda for this? I believe the takeaway should've been that Mikan got sick because she was around all of them AND she overworked herself trying to take care of them. Is this just an awkwardly phrased attempt to make more of a connection between Tsumiki and Komaeda? I don't think you needed more than the ones that already existed.

- "he helps Junko brainwash a bunch of students" Kamukura at neither point in the anime or Danganronpa 0 was ever specifically implicated in the brainwashing. He never 'helps' Junko, especially in that way. If you meant, participates in the student council killing game, you should've said that, but even then his agency and influence is limited.

-"they found the Remnants and captured them!"...no, they didn't. The Remnants presented themselves as survivors and the Foundation took them in. They handed themselves over willingly. It was a pretty big piece of the final part of the game...

3) Komaeda and Komahina

- "Nagito's habit of putting people on pedestals" Where. Sure, he certainly parrots the belief that the "Ultimates" as a unit are at the top of the food chain and should be prioritised, but its clear that doesn't exactly carry over to his classmates like teruteru, Kuzuryu and even Souda sometimes. Just because of a few positive comments refering to them as Ultimates and the trial which he literally breaks down in, this is a hard position to support.

-"Nagito manipulates Hajime into playing the game" How. He literally just told him to play it. How is that manipulation. Also, isn't it a bit unfair to put the blame on Koizumi's death to him as well? I think they were multiple factors playing into this, but sure, how else are you gonna convince people that Komaeda is a twisted fucking cyclepath that loves leading people to their deaths.

-The way that you say the Kuzuryu/Pekoyama relationship mirrors Komahina as 'I will give up my agency for you/ I just want you' is also confusing. Unless of course you mirror Peko's struggle with her agency and harmful beliefs the clan enforced on her with Komaeda's own belief system, in which case, idk man, i feel like you are giving a bit too much credit to the supposed severity of Komaeda's views and trying too hard to make Hinata the 'rational' and 'grounding' one in the relationship.

- Again, the amount of times you refer to Komaeda as a freak for doing something 'weird' or even being drawn weirdly doing it , mostly in the manga, makes me belief this isn't just an affectionate tongue in cheek joke as you claim, but an actual way in which your interpretation of Komaeda is colored.

-"it doesn't excuse his nonchalance towards tragedy and murder but explains it" what needs to be excused here exactly? Komaeda doesn't need to immediately bawl his eyes out when someone gets killed or else he's suspicious and...bad? I am confused with what you mean by this. If you mean that Komeada shouldn't be so nonchalant about murder because he's constantly trying to kill someone else, that is plainly incorrect and i explained above why.

-Posturing about Komaeda's 'black and white thinking' while in the next exact slide you show fanart of him smugly explaining he has Borderline. First, i want you to explain to me the black and white thinking in a way that isn't "oh, the friends and classmates i previously liked turned out to be fucking terrorists". I think that's a pretty justifiable situation for your thinking to go from white to black. Also, if that is enough credence to assign Komaeda BPD, you really don't know how BPD works, especially since you assigned it to the one character you constantly talk about being a freak (and also lust...pseudo lust? after).

- The insistence with Hinata not really understanding Komaeda and running away, even if he wants to understands him is pretty suspect, especially when compared to the game. Hinata is confused and overwhelmed yes, but it's not just that he wants to understand Komaeda but that he still feels fondness for him, he still follows his advice and puts his faith in him and the way he mourns him in Chapter 5 is also pretty indicative of this. It's just another part in the pattern in you making Hinata the confused, rational, 'morally pure' man that's 'tempted' by 'corrupted' manic pixie mentally ill demon Komaeda. Something tells me your priest AU isn't so much playing with dolls as much as...what you actually believe these characters dynamic is.

- The whole page where Servant is basically made into a joke about how hot and sexy and freaky he is doesn't help your point either.

-The most damning evidence of course is a drawing in the second to last slide, wherein Komaeda is supposed to be analogous to 'guy who has something wrong with him' (distorted, freak, mentally ill) and Hinata is analogous to the guy that 'is the only one that understands them' (the rational one, the relationship of understanding doesn't go both ways).

- Your slide with sources is pretty vague and unclear. Also the way that you credit "Your superior mind" before the game itself when all you've been doing is repeating and misinterpreting the plot of the game is ...ironic

So yeah, that's all I got. Feel free to 'debunk' my observations as much as you please, I just want to know if there's actual basis behind everything you just said or I should go digging for 'the actual serious analysis' yet again.

i think you forgot that fandom is meant to be fun

[equallyloyalandlethal]

Okay, lemme be real with people for a sec.

Tw: bullying, harassment, mention of past suicidal ideation.

There’s a lot of shit running around right now about me and my friends and people that know/associate with me, and I’m done hearing it or letting it perpetuate without addressing it. Like, beyond done to the point that the attempts to shame, demean, belittle, bully, and harass me and mine have become laughable rather than any sort of impactful.

There are parties with whom I once associated that are claiming me and mine have been non-stop bullying and harassing them for months. This is categorically untrue.

For the record, I’ve NEVER bullied anyone. As someone who has considered taking my own life because of being on the receiving end of it as a child, that accusation is appalling. The folks at the root cause of these rumors on the other hand have done nothing but harass and quite frankly ACTUALLY bully us. Here is what they’ve sent me in the last three hours:

As a measure of safety, both theirs and mine though they don’t show the same courtesy via trashing me and my friends on their various platforms, I won’t name names or the server in question. This isn’t about showcasing their awful behavior, however I think the above asks speak for themselves quite plainly. If they could produce things of a similar caliber, they would, but I have not engaged in such behavior. The one potential instance they might be able to produce is this:

Now, admittedly, this was probably not the best thing to read as an author when they were invited into my friends and I’s server, however it wasn’t meant in malice. I was honestly very excited for their story, to the point that I made a photo edit for it.

Additionally, this was their reaction when they saw it, as far as I’m aware:

And when they asked me for help betaing I gave options and checked in with them throughout. I received nothing but praise:

Yet, this is what they have to say now:

If they had come to me honestly about any negative feelings we could have had a conversation and handled things in a positive, rational manner. However it took me interacting with some new friends to find out that they were saying I was bashing their fic and work in general while they in turn were doing just that to my own work.

I can respect someone telling me they don’t jive with my writing or stories. Not every piece is for every person, that’s kind of the point of fandom. But when it’s done in a way that’s entirely detrimental and derisive of my skills overall with no consideration for the fact that at the time I thought we were friends, then I feel the need to speak up.

Why did I ban them from MY personal server, my safe space with friends? The revelation that they were in fact trashing my work behind my back and intended to have me waste time helping them without ever using the help. I felt betrayed and used and like the bad end of a worse punchline.

Some people are cruel and unkind, that’s just the truth of things. But that’s a reflection of them and not me or anyone that’s interacted with them, and it’s certainly not a reason to act the same way.

We are not the problem, and things like the asks above/at the beginning of this post are simply proof of that.

If the people in question want to step forward and supply their own proof as to how I’ve personally bullied, harassed, insulted, demeaned, or any other such negative thing, please feel free. If you have concrete evidence of it, as unintentional as it would have been, I’d love to know so I can avoid repeating it in the future. If there’s room in this for me to grow from it and become a better person, I would like to, so genuinely if you have something to show me that explicitly demonstrates how I’ve harmed or harassed you or others close to you, share it with me.

But if you can’t, then please stop calling us the ones looking for drama. That’s ALL on you at this point. YOU’RE the ones going public. YOU’RE the ones slamming with names and using your platforms to doxx us all. If the drama keeps on, it’s solely from the fact that you and your friends are feeding the fire with your own feelings.

I, for one, am not looking for it, even despite this post. I simply felt the need to put a stop to the rumor mill before it spun out of control. As always, there are two sides to any story, and people are encouraged to share theirs, however in that same vein, so too are me and mine allowed to share ours.

All this to say, essentially, fuck bullying in fandom spaces.

We as a community need to move past such pedantic behavior and focus on keeping the spirit of our beloved fandom safe havens protected. In the endeavor of making it as great and prolific as it used to be, we are all equally responsible.

Let’s all aim to make fandom fun again rather than tearing each other to bits and pieces.

Out of curiosity ever consider writing a Viktanya fanfic?

This might be a disappointing answer, but probably not.

It’s not that I dislike Viktanya or anything, it’s just that I really don’t have any ideas for them. Writing is hard and if I’m not extremely obsessed with something I just can’t get myself to write about it.

Also, there’s lots of Viktanya stuff out there, so I don’t think I have anything to contribute. Since there’s already lots of stuff I’m comfortable sticking with my niche pair lol.

#GODDD he got no closure. you knowww his control freak ass is like. if we could simply talk it out i could put it to bed. <-- is that why vale won't give him the closure he needs? Vale knows Marc will fully move on from him once they talk and his controlling self can't have marc not being haunted by his ghost.

NEITHER OF THEM HAVE CLOSURE ! IT RULES ! fr they both have publicly been like yeah. it is a deep wound inside me that i think about way too often... still making public statements about it entirely without duress and of their own volition VERY recently. a narrative they could let die but it simply means too much to them. and in lots of ways it’s a way to be close. to relate to each other. to be singular in each other’s imaginings and in the eyes of the world. gone girl voice i’m the cunt you married. like vale has lost other titles badly! marc has pissed other people off! but it’s different with each other… and they categorically and eternally find themselves unable to let each other go. it’s literally a way for them to stay together.

god some of you are so insufferable. still on this lando/oscar discourse from sunday and now pr this and pr that… well i’d like you to PRetty please shut up.

“marc i think is actually a cliff.”

Superb line, no notes

marc is one of those fucked up rapids that are so beautiful but so fucking dangerous and to even GET THERE you have to hike in for like a day and half lugging your kayak and all your gear and food in the freezing cold and wiggle your dry suit onto your cold clammy flesh with the neck gasket digging into you kind of uncomfortably but you get there it’s like this gorgeous churning thing at the bottom of a narrow gorge with zero good take out spots if you fuck up and like one million undercut rocks and blind drops and sieves and strainers and you paddle it scared absolutely SHITLESS but twenty years after that when you’re drunk with other paddling friends reminiscing you’re like that was the best river trip of my life… and yes you also break your nose but that’s like. immaterial in your memory at that point

Stayed up too late and now I’m scared

No damn way someone used my jojo gif I made when I was like 13 in a fucking nsfw fanfic thing About a character who is 15 years old. Okay
