ê° Where are you free to begin again and believe ? ê±
Youâve experienced an ending (possibly even multiple ones) that were very heavy. It was the kind of ending (or a string of them) that came with a lot of pain and hurt but was inevitable, something that could simply not be saved. For many of you a lot of backstabbing and betrayal took place, possibly people bitching too. It could have very well been a whole group of people disliking you or turning against you. Iâm strongly getting that youâve often experienced people not liking you for any reason at all. For many of you, all of this took place at the same time (betrayal, people disliking you for no reason, etc.) Youâve lost a lot or at least feel a strong sense of loss (or have had to feel that way at some point). You have many deep wounds and right now, life seems to be more peaceful for you. However, youâre worn out, tired and disappointed. I need to give you a virtual pat on the back for the way you seem to be handling the situation though. You let things end even though you had to reach the lowest possible point mentally. You allowed yourself time and space to heal and recover. You have always been the type to try your best so you were just like ânothing more can be done now, I tried my bestâ. Right now, youâre really focused on yourself and your own internal values. Your energy is still not the most harmonious but the way youâre dealing with things seems to make it all harmonious again. You have released many fears and are still doing so. âI look to youâ by Whitney Houston is coming through for some reason. Youâve reached a point where you have a harder time trusting people and doubt loyalty but it doesnât seem to be negative, obviously there are days when the voices do get to you but youâre able to tame them. Itâs just that going forward, you want to choose and do whatâs best for you. Youâre still struggling emotionally but itâs only so that you can do even better going forward and yes, you have dealt with this situation really well. You should be proud of yourself because some of us wouldnât have been able to think straight if we were in your place. You seem to know that whatever you lost wasnât that great to begin with and every loss of yours has only led to more wins but one thing that I need to make you aware of is that everyone who lost you has received the biggest L, even if at that time, they were having the time of their lives, youâve clearly won. Youâre free to begin again. What has passed has passed. Youâre free to, in fact, you have every right to believe that being in your life and someone having you in their life is a privilege. Youâre free to believe that trust needs to be earned. Youâre free to believe that youâve had a string of bad connections and that their words, and actions hurt you so you have every right to feel bad and not want anything to with them. Youâre free to believe that you donât have to fully forgive someone to move on. Youâre free to stand up for yourself and not feel bad for doing so. Even if you made a mistake, if someone is going overboard with punishing you by treating you shitty and disrespecting you, you have every right to stand up for yourself as long as youâre still aware of what you did wrong and are holding yourself accountable instead of acting as though youâve never hurt a fly. Youâve walked away and surrendered which is the best that you could have done, Iâm proud of you. Youâre free to not want to communicate maturely with those who refused to communicate maturely with you in the past. Youâve always had a personality where you donât mind compromising for those you love and because it comes so naturally to you, you donât even bother to voice it out.
However, just because you donât talk the talk, instead you just walk the walk, people act as though your sacrifices were not big. Youâre allowed to have resentments against people as long as you donât burden yourself. Youâre free to find peace in the fact that youâre a great and loving person who has never minded giving up their ego for a greater good, that youâve always looked at yourself and your loved ones as a team and thatâs not a bad quality, you just didnât know better and had people who werenât the same as you, around yourself and thatâs okay. Youâre free to believe and know that you were not being difficult or trying to pick fights, you were trying to fix things because you really cared and wanted to give, and do your best. Youâre free to forgive yourself for not voicing out your needs sooner. Youâre free to not want to forgive some people, youâre free to deny that you werenât even involved with certain people if thatâs what brings you peace. Remember that the past doesnât even exist, no one can narrate and decide your story except you, and the truth is, people cannot exist in your reality unless you let them ;). Youâre free to not have empathy for those who didnât have empathy for you. Youâre free to be rude and standoffish with those who deserve it. Youâre free to believe that itâs okay for people to leave such a bitter taste in your mouth that you wouldnât want to help them even if they were living out their last few days with a beating heart. Youâre allowed to believe that youâre not always the bad person, no matter how much youâve been villainised, youâve always tried to watch your actions and when you did make mistakes, you always tried to make up for them, and usually, you didnât even do anything wrong. Youâve often had people hate you because theyâre envious of and feel inferior to you in some way but then they try to make it seem as though itâs your mistakes and actions that they hate you for. Youâve had people trying to isolate you, youâve had people telling mutuals not to talk to you, youâve had people trying to turn people against you just for the thrill of putting you down because itâs fun to try to bring down someone who they feel inferior to, it makes them feel superior, watching you question yourself but what they donât seem to know is that you question yourself to better yourself because you donât view mistakes as unforgivable sins, you want to take accountability, make amends, do whatever you can to repair the damage that you may have done and do better in the future instead of drowning in self guilt like they want you to đ. Even if you did temporarily fall into self guilt, you managed to come right out and you always will. Youâre free to believe that youâre a good person, youâre free to have faith in your own greatness and embrace your mistakes in a way where you put it all behind yourself, understand that however others have treated you has been wrong as well. Youâre free to believe that youâre a good person no matter how many unethical things you may have done, no matter how much others have tried to villainise you. Youâre allowed to be cold to those who used your mistakes to try to get you to break. If I was you, I would avoid doing anything that I could possibly regret doing in the future. Youâre free to understand that many of your past actions have been shitty but those who jumped to try and knock you down to a peg were not saints either. If they did have a problem with what you did, they would discuss your actions, not your character, they just had a problem with you, and they would sure as hell not gang up against and isolate you. You are allowed to leave your past behind (including any of the actions that youâre not proud of) and do better in the future. Just remember, youâre always free to begin again and youâre always free to believe. When you find the place where your heart belongs, youâll never leave.
ê° Whatâs the destiny thatâs written in your heart ? ê±
The destiny thatâs written in your heart is to be seen. Many of you are interested in lifestyles that bring about a lot of eyes on you (possibly being a public figure). I donât even think that you need to be known on a wide scale, itâs about the expression and success for you. You want to be able to make people happy and help them remain optimistic during hard times. Youâre also supposed to be very generous. I just heard that the destiny thatâs written in your heart is to belong to everyone, not in a negative way but in a way where everyone has a piece of the good deeds youâve done inside their hearts and so you belong to them in some capacity. Youâre supposed to have a lot of personal integrity and just be an abundant person overall. Even if you are not a public figure or an aspiring one, youâre supposed to be the light in many peopleâs lives. Due to how youâre going to belong to everyone, youâre also going to have to prioritise your alone time. To you, the time that you spend by yourself is going to be very precious. There are going to be people who are going to want to come into your life in order to dim your light and youâre going to have to find peace in life again and again. YES, PEOPLE ARE GOING TO ACTIVELY TRY TO ADD LACK OF PEACE INTO YOUR LIFE đ. Youâre meant to grow to be someone whoâs not really that problematic. Which is why, you may have to step out of character a lot as a teen and early adult, youâll have to learn how to stay firm in wanting to protect your peace and keep your character strong. Your destiny is to remain firm in your karma and have a strong sense of integrity. Youâre supposed to learn how to protect your energy because you will have a lifestyle where you sort of belong to everyone but thatâs not realistic, there are only certain people who deserve you in their lives, so youâll have to learn how to balance it all. Karma is really big in your spread. Youâre someone whoâs experienced karma, often immediately. Youâre supposed to learn many life lessons and lead a life of integrity. Your destiny if you manage to harness it, is to attain status and power but youâll consistently have to work on balancing different aspects of your life (because youâre going to have it all). I hope that you enjoyed the reading and that it resonated, much love and take care, until next time đ.
ïžïžâč ! đȘĄïž Pile 2 ê±
ê° Where are you free to begin again and believe ? ê±
Right away, you could be coming from pile 1. If not, much like the previous pile, youâve undergone an ending too. Yes, this is in fact the ending of whatever situation or situations that took place but thatâs the good news, thatâs what youâre free to begin from again. When youâre at the lowest, the only place to go to is upwards ;). Who had potato and egg curry/likes it? Maybe, someone here is going to cook it or the dish holds some significance to you? It just randomly came through, doesnât have to resonate for everyone. The ending doesnât seem to be singular honestly, I feel like there was a whole cycle of multiple endings that took place but with many delays. If you ever find yourself feeling guilty about not getting over it or feel as though itâs your fault because you delayed these cycles, please be kinder to yourself. When things end, youâre left empty but what happens when a container is left empty? It gives room for new stuff to fill up that space. Itâs important for you to not dwell on this ending - the guilt of not ending it sooner, wishing it had never ended, the emptiness you feel, etc. Youâre free to begin from everything youâve ever known because there is so much more in the future, in fact, even in the present itself for you to know. If youâre refusing to end a cycle, youâre only making it harder on yourself, I hope that youâll be able to start again, no matter how much time it may take. Some of you feel guilty towards yourself because you know that youâre over it, youâre just not letting yourself let go completely. Itâs become a habit to think about it, feel certain emotions when you reminisce so it feels foreign for you to move on and feel peace. Even if youâre still emotionally attached to the past, make the conscious effort to move forward. Please remember âno closure is a closureâ. No matter how stagnant you feel or have felt, no matter how long youâve felt it for, no matter how familiar the feeling is to you, youâre free to get out of this energy. Even if you feel as though you were unable to make the most out of your potential so far, even if you feel as though you havenât achieved much, no matter how disappointed youâve felt in yourself, donât burden yourself with such feelings. Youâre free to move on and achieve a lot going forward. âThough you may not know where your gifts may lead and it may not show in the start, when you live your dream, youâll find destiny is written in your heart.â Why are you so concerned about everyone? Why do you try to make things right with your actions even if you arenât interested in maintaining certain connections? Itâs because youâve achieved a lot when it comes to character. If you feel misunderstood even though youâve done a lot for others without even talking about it because thatâs just you, if you felt betrayed, itâs them, not you. Fight against their opinions, they just dislike how you stand for the things that wish they stood for, they also dislike how you are the way they wish to be in some capacity.
Continue soaring forward with courage, resilience and conviction. Youâre allowed to want what you want without always having to adjust to other peopleâs needs, desires, personalities, lifestyles and actions. Even if you may feel like youâve betrayed yourself in the past, know that you were living by your truth of loving and keeping your actions in check, youâre always free to begin again and live more truthfully to yourself. In fact, now you know a lot more than you did back then, isnât that in itself a blessing? Never let anyone influence you and your approach to interpersonal connections. Youâre likely a more long term kinda person due to how much you pour into everything and everyone. Youâre free to believe that youâre a great person even if you arenât breaking your leg to please others. At this point, you likely know well enough about that because you seem to have a pretty strong sense of self or are developing it (and have been making good progress with it). Youâre free to stand up for yourself and your beliefs. Itâs time to be your most honest and authentic self now. Youâve likely started feeling called to it already. No matter how much pressure is placed upon you or how much youâre criticised or blamed, youâre allowed to believe in yourself. Youâre allowed to have boundaries and to be fairly protective of yourself. Youâre allowed to want to be pursued and want to be courted romantically. Youâre allowed to desire to be wooed off your feet xD. Youâre allowed to follow whatever your heartâs calling is. Youâre allowed to move forward acting more graceful and strong in character and even physically if youâd like. Youâre allowed to move your attention onto better things if whatever youâre focused on is affecting you negatively. Youâre allowed to repeat mistakes as long as you manage to learn from them in the end. âI think all of us wanna feel something that weâve forgotten or turned our backs on because maybe we didnât realise how much we were leaving behind.â Itâs okay to make sacrifices, itâs okay to make wrong decisions, itâs okay to learn, thatâs how life is. Youâre free to desire and believe in a true and deep love connection that you know exists because youâre full of the love that you wish to receive. Youâre free to desire a deep connection full of mutual admiration, respect and love. Youâre free to want to share your life with someone, just make sure that youâre not going into it with desperation. Your standards are not too high as long as you know that youâre asking for what you can give out. Youâre free to want to be around wise people. Youâre free to want to have a romantic connection with someone controlled, wise, ethical and respectable. You donât have to feel bad about taking certain things seriously even if those around you donât. Like supposing sex is a big thing for you, in this generation thatâs kind of rare but itâs okay, do right by yourself. Youâre free to have an impartial judgment in the beginning for your own good. Youâre free to vet out and choose who deserves to be in your life and who doesnât. Itâs okay to want to strengthen your own character and reputation. Youâre free to craft yourself and your life however you want, itâs your life to live.
ê° Whatâs the destiny thatâs written in your heart ? ê±
The destiny thatâs written in your heart is to leave the past behind. Youâre the pile that will either deal with extreme loneliness or isolation of some sort that will only lead to you changing and growing emotionally. If you feel like most things have not worked out for you, please just know that whatever has not worked out is exactly why thingâs are working out for you, youâre going to see it while youâre living your destiny. Somehow, no matter what you go through, no matter how many times youâre hurt, betrayed, etc. you are meant to only continue to become more loving. The more you hurt, the more you learn how to love (yourself and others) is the energy that Iâm getting. Itâs important for you to be in touch with the present rather than staying stuck on anything from the past, donât even hold onto the regrets, thatâs how youâre blocking your own destiny. You might be the pile that got shamed for being emotional at some point and being too nonchalant at another, youâre going to get closer to yourself which will ultimately lead you to being more in tune with your own emotional nature. The more youâll grow, the more youâll embrace and learn just how much of a blessing it is to choose to be ever loving in a bitter world that wants you to be bitter as well. The way you are, your sensitive nature, the way you feel, the way you love, the amount of devotion and loyalty you give out has led you to being hurt, disappointed and regretful several times. There have been times when people have terribly embarrassed because you tried to see the best in them. The clown emoji is coming through, gosh đ€Ąđ. However, the destiny thatâs written in your heart is strongly intertwined with loving and loyalty, you value genuine connections and are extremely compassionate, as you grow older, youâll learn how to not make everyoneâs problems your own. Youâre meant to learn healthy boundaries as you grow older, youâll learn how to extend your love and compassion towards yourself, thatâs how youâll unlock a major part of your destiny. Youâre supposed to come in terms with the fact that maybe you werenât the problem after all. You seem to have taken âthe world is your familyâ too literally, you take on everyoneâs problems and sorrows, and try to love and help everyone. Especially when younger, that was what you were like.
As you grow older and finally realise that maybe you werenât the problem after all, youâll start seizing opportunities as you let go of regret. Itâs going to be a bittersweet but beautiful time. No matter what you may go through, youâll only gain more self awareness due to it. Youâll start focusing on the more positive aspects of life and yourself. Youâll eventually start having gratitude and find your zest for life again. Youâll learn that youâre not everyoneâs mother or caregiver and that what you bring to the table, and who you are is deeply valuable. Youâre destined to learn just a little selfishness, not in a sense of only caring about yourself but in a sense of putting yourself first. Iâm not sure why but your sex drive keeps on coming through. You either masturbate quite a bit or well, just have a high libido xD. You might have started masturbating much younger than most as well. Doesnât have to resonate but thatâs what came through. I wouldnât be surprised if this pile has a mother wound or just female figures being unsupportive and problematic towards you. Itâs definitely not going to be everyone but you may find yourself having a bad experience with many female figures while growing up. It could be something as simple as you think that youâre good with a certain girl or woman just to find out that they dislike you. Youâre meant to have it all, abundance in the truest senses. Thatâs the destiny thatâs written in your heart. You may be the pile thatâs not afraid to dream and not just dream but also try your best to execute it. If you have to give up on your dreams for whatever reason, you may feel terribly wrong from within. The destiny thatâs written in your heart is a lot of domestic bliss as well. Youâre meant to have people who accept and understand your differences in your life. Youâre meant to be emotionally content. The reason why you have a hard time with short term, casual stuff is because youâre meant to experience long term deep attachments. The reason youâre so loyal, feel so deeply and know how to be dedicated is because youâre supposed to find worthy enough people to form such lovely and long term connections with. Youâre passionate, donât even try to suppress that true nature of yours by trying to explore some half hearted stuff. Youâre well rounded so youâre meant to experience a well rounded life - a blissful home life, a great career, a strong personality and being proud of yourself, youâre meant to have it all. All of this is the destiny thatâs written in your heart. I hope that you enjoyed the reading and that it resonated, much love and take care, until next time đ.
ïžïžâč ! đȘĄïž Pile 3 ê±
ê° Where are you free to begin again and believe ? ê±
This could be the pile that may have lost their way temporarily or were unable to focus on things that mattered at some point (education, money, career, etc.) Youâre free to start again when it comes to education and your goals (educational, career, character, skills, so on and so forth). Itâs time for you to believe in your own maturity and sense of independence. Youâre free to begin again no matter how many times you may have quit or lost your path. Youâre a very responsible person who is focused on building something for yourself right now. Youâre free to take on this identity wholly and start/continue showing up consistently for yourself. Maybe you used to be like this as a child, you had all your priorities in place but as you grew up, you started burning out or something just caused you to stray off your path. Itâs okay, as long as you get back on track. Youâve always been a very helping and trustworthy person with a strong will. You used to be really reliable, responsible and ambitious even as a kid. Even if you feel like youâve disappointed yourself, itâs never too late to get back to yourself and your goals. Believe in and stay firm in your own karma (actions/deeds). A routine would really help you. Youâre free to start trying to make the most out of your potential. Maybe, you were pushed into a period of solitude causing you to realise that you need to get back on track? It doesnât have to be for everyone, itâs only for a select few of you. You might have ended up overindulging at some point when younger which led you to straying from your path. It could be an overindulgence of anything - liquor, heartbreak, friends, freedom, etc. You may have wasted that time but the fact that you know what it feels like to enter such an energy means that youâll avoid it going forward. Itâs good that youâve managed to live such different lifestyles and take on such different identities, just to get back to being yourself and realising that you always knew who you were, and that life is a lot about having the courage to live as who you truly are. If you donât have a social life or have too much of it (envy, rivalry, lack of approval but also people around you) causing you to either think too much or not have enough space to think, just remember that youâre free to begin again. If you donât have much of a social life currently, youâve dealt with envy, rivalry, lack of approval, disappointments, end of friendships, etc. before.
Some of you may be going through it right now, if yes, youâre free to begin again, trust me, itâs going to get better ;). Youâre free to believe that your next relationships (platonic and romantic) are going to be great ones. Youâre free to believe that change is coming in and itâs going to be big, and in the best way possible. Patience is important here though. Donât settle and donât give into desperation or urges of any sort. Youâre free to begin again when it comes to self improvement. Youâre free to put the past behind you and patiently make the most out of the present while looking forward to a bright future. Youâre free to explore and expand beyond what you thought your interests and aesthetics were limited to. Youâre free to claim fulfilment. Youâve overcome so much, give yourself a little pat on the shoulder, will you? Youâre allowed to go with the flow of things while consistently working on whatever you want. Consistency and patience are guaranteed to reward you as long as you use your brain and abilities to the fullest. Plan but donât stay stuck on the planning phase. Youâre doing so well, please be proud of yourself as well. While others may talk about how much theyâve done, how they are, like they may really boast it, you donât boast because thatâs just innately in you and why would you boast about something thatâs just natural to you? BUT THEYâRE REALLY BIG TRAITS AND THINGS IN REAL LIFE! Youâre free to let go of extremism in order to find peace. Youâre free to make peace with situations even if they were one sided. Youâre free to reprioritise and have faith in your priorities even if your priorities were not in the right places for a while. Youâre free to move on from the life that was not flowing correctly. Youâre free to heal completely even if no one witnessed it and youâre free to feel proud of yourself even if there was no one to witness how much youâve grown. All work, no play will make you a dull one, please try to strike a good balance between studies/work and life. Youâre free to try to manage life better. Your past does not exist, it does not matter. Believe in yourself and your dreams, your hopes and wishes will come true as long as youâre willing to work for them. Youâre free to move forward with more confidence and passion, grabbing opportunities and communicating well. Youâre likely already a great communicator, if not through speech, it may be through writing but believe in yourself, itâs better to go after the life you want rather than convincing yourself that youâre happy with an average life. Remember, youâre always free to begin again and youâre always free to begin, when you find the place that your heart belongs, youâll never leave.
ê° Whatâs the destiny thatâs written in your heart ? ê±
The destiny thatâs written in your heart is quite interesting. Youâve always desired to be looked up to. Thereâs something traditional and old school that you want, the old school romance, the old school love, the old school family, whatever it may be. Itâs because itâs in your destiny. You could be someone who doesnât enjoy having jokes made about them or didnât like them when younger. You do not appreciate being the butt of any joke due to how much you value mutual respect. Itâs in your destiny to love and adore, and to be loved and adored. Youâre likely the marriage type. You want an equal and all encompassing love in which your partner treats you like their own and you treat them like your own. You desire to operate with your partner as a team, a family, united and with each other instead of egoistic and against each other. Itâs because youâre destined for that. Youâre meant to have a reluctance to explore anything thatâs not deep and intense (romantically). Youâre meant to have moments when you feel unsuccessful, like youâve not achieved much, like youâve not been able to live up to your potential so that you can find it in you to strive towards it. At some point, youâre going to be like âIâve always known who I am, who I want to be. Iâve always known what was right and yet I strayed off.â That was meant to happen so that you can be more confident in who you are. Due to your deep emotions and the way you feel responsible for everyone and everything, and you desire to have an ethical and good character, you tend to be confused a lot because people try to make you think that youâre doing something wrong? Thatâs the entire reason why you strayed off your path in the first place. Youâre going to be pressured into making decisions without knowing what it is that you truly want. Youâre going to find yourself being very emotionally overwhelmed at some point because you also have a tendency to feel things deeply. You wonât know what it is that you truly want. There will be a point where youâll wonder if you even have faith in yourself at all. You might get severely betrayed at some point when younger, likely by multiple people but might have mixed feelings regarding them because the situations will just be so cloudy. Also, youâre a genuinely really good person so your desire for connection will lead you to treat people as if they are in the same team as you even if they arenât because you will not be aware of it, youâll have their best interests at heart but when all of this rose tinted glasses, confusion, fog or whatever you want to call it fades away, youâll feel as though you lived in an illusion for a quite a while. Youâre someone who has a lot of enemies due to your naturally great character. In this world, many people enjoy tearing each other down, youâll have to learn how to strategically move through life. Youâre able to be very strategic, itâs just that you have ethics and morals, and care about people so you try not to hurt them. Youâre going to have to learn how to be yourself and follow your path unapologetically no matter who it hurts.
Many of your friends tend to envy you and want similar things that you want, possibly even love interests, donât feel guilty about doing and choosing whatâs best for you. Most of these people desire to be better than you because they do dislike you to some capacity, one more reason to not feel bad. Youâre meant to be courageous enough to go for what you want, even if it might cause you to end up in scandals or ostracised because at the end, you manage to gain so much from it, in every way. âYou need to be cold to be queen, keep your eyes on the price, Jenny Humphrey. You cannot make people love you but you can make them fear you.â You have had friends who turned out to be envious of you at some point. In fact, you often attract people like this but it does help you grow. You are going to learn how to be selfish with these people. With those who do deserve your love and view you as a team, youâre going to treat them as if they were you, youâre going to give them the best and will try your best to be there for them. Those who see and understand you are going to have your back at all times. Youâre going to change and grow a lot through all the envy and one sided rivalry driven conflicts but that will only get you to be more morally driven. Youâre going to become more empathetic, trustworthy and a great adviser to those who deserve it, and a selfish, cold person to those who donât. Thatâs kind of your destiny because when youâre going to be all kind and giving, having the best interest of everyone at heart, viewing them as a team, theyâre going to undervalue you and take you for granted. Theyâre going to abuse your generosity and giving nature, theyâll also be mean to you, as if nothing you give is enough for them, even though youâre probably the best that they will find but youâll likely learn the lesson of putting yourself quite young (by your early twenties) because youâll have already experienced a lot by then. Youâre probably meant to be very charitable though. Also, the deep connections that youâll have (both romantic and platonic) and I mean the healthy, non confusing and lasting ones, theyâll be sacred to you. Those people will understand you on a whole different level and will treat you with such care, itâs touching. You truly do deserve this kind of love. Iâm so happy for you. When someone is like you, many will dislike you for your greatness while others will want to find both - more of your greatnesses and your weaknesses in order to love you, in order to have you in their life, in order to be in your life because theyâll see you as someone to treasure, because theyâll grow to love you more and more, the more they get to know you. This is sweet, isnât it? Youâre going to start craving strong and mutual love quite young and youâll start having a mature approach to relationships. Itâs likely because you spent quite some time in illusions while what you were giving out was very real so youâll crave that same realness because youâll know that you deserve it. Yes, you will receive it as long as you donât bend into settling and staying stuck in illusions. All of this is the destiny thatâs written in your heart. I hope that you enjoyed the reading and that it resonated, much love and take care, until next time đ.

things about about TSC I can't stop thinking about
"hindsight was a backstabbing bitch"
curtains symbolizing jeans healing journey, how he keeps them closed at Abby's in a effort to recreate the nest in search of some normalcy, how he opens them and looks out the window his new apartment, seeking calm in his overwhelm
"I want to go home" (13) meaning evermore vs. "I want to go home" (329) meaning to his apartment with Laila, Cat and jeremy
the fact that jean's phone is probably still in Abby's freezer
Kevin "their kindness matters" Day
Neil's smile is as unsettling to everyone else as it is to him and he has so much more Nathaniel in him than he recognizes in his own pov
Jean is so similar to neil in that they're both petty, dramatic bitches who care deeply about their teammates' safety
riko and the ravens quite literally took jean's name from him (Jean-Yves, Jonny, Paris)
"[Renee's] love was so tender it looked like grief as it curled her mouth and made her eyes shine"
jean gets forehead kisses from Renee and Cat
"that creepy little goalkeeper Andrew Minyard"
jean's many nicknames for neil: tiny bastard, tedious malcontent, abominable cockroach, wretched little runaway, ignorant child, etc.
Neil took the bandage off of jeans 3 and promptly stuck it over Kevin's chess peice
"I should have let him kill you," Jean said. "Probably," Neil agreed, "but you didn't, so here we all are."
"...aside from his outstanding murder charge, there was nothing interesting about that fox"
the fact that the point of tfc was to show characters who couldn't/wouldn't/ or were unable to heal from the trauma they had faced and yet from the very beginning and without question, TSC is about jean clawing his way forward and toward healing no matter what
the cheese drawer
dadmack dialed up to 1,000 See: "i will burn this house down before I let them touch you"
bisexual jean Moreau panicking over his teammates in swimsuits and Jeremy's long legs
"He's earned the right to be arrogant"
riko couldn't bring himself to hurt wymack because he was Kevin's father and Kevin was like a brother to riko and riko has always yearned for a father's recognition
Alvarez has a motorcycle and jean didn't say no to learning how to ride it
we know next to nothing about Jeremy Knox despite having chapters in his pov (why was he in therapy? why was his dad in France? what the hell did he do at the Fall banquet his freshman year to tear his family in half?)
that being said: Jeremy Knox is a rich boy with a butler
everything about Catalina Alverez
the fact that Jeremy knox has two brothers and one of them is probably dead
"rather than force the Trojans underground for that part, they simply built steps up and over it inside the stadium" the JUXTAPOSITION
Alvarez cooks and so now does jean
we know for a fact riko subjected Kevin to "subtler cruelties" while he was in the nest
"they never should have said yes when you asked" and "I didn't ask"
"as if you can tell a girl apart from a cow on a good day"
"permission to break his face, coach?" jean asked. "denied," white said.
all of thanksgiving pt. II
"alarm looked wrong on a face born for smiling"
jean casually saying "your apologies are as useful as perfume on a frog" to Lucas
Neil's whole relationship with Jean
David "I believe we all have the choice to be better than the hands that shaped us" Wymack
Neil generally being a menace to society but especially "Neil, being the person he was, pointed at the fire hydrant adjacent to it's front bumper and said, 'thats illegal, just so you know.'"
"the cracking heat in his chest could have been his ribs snapping or his heart breaking"

been seeing a lot of sanses x reader, so how about something different.
What if the bad sanses and y/n only see eachother as best friends. Like the whole group watch horror movies and give eachother cuddles platonically. The whole group is involved and each person gets along with everyone because Y/N helped with the arguing problems?
So: Y/N sees everyone as a friend, and the Bad sanses see y/n as a friend.
YES! I love this request! (I've had a little too much fun with this đ) sorry if it's not like how you imagined it, I just played with this idea a bit. It's not every day you see a platonic request.
Masterlist
READER BEING THE BAD SANSES BEST FRIEND (PLATONIC)
(Nightmare, Dust, Killer, Horror, Error)
Safe to say that you were truly in one hell of a ride. Everyday was a rollercoaster with the Bad Sanses. Let's go over some moments together, shall we?
1# The Coffee machine
"YOU SON OF A BITCH!"
You jolted up awake at the sound of arguing from downstairs. Looks like the boys were roundhousing again..
You groaned as you made your way down the stairs. "Guys? What-" your eyes widened as you saw a chair barely missing your face. Dust turned to you in alarm. "Oh my god.. What are you doing standing there!? Help us!" You blinked when you heard those words, but had no time to say anything as you were pulled by Killer. "OK! OK! Y/N. This is really bad.." you looked at Killer tiredly. "Killer. What did you do?!" Killer flashed you a shocked look, dramatically gasping. "I cannot believe that you just accused me of this horrible tragedy!" "He broke the..coffee machine." Horror snitched on Killer as all the chatter went mute.
Killer slowly turned to Horror. "Horror...you snitch.. why did you have to say it so loudly?" You snorted a little, along with Dust who looked like he could lose it any time soon. "Oh, you're royally fucked Killer." Was your last sentence before going back to bed, as Nightmare dragged Killer.
"AHHH! NIGHTMARE WAIT!!! W-WE CAN TALK ABOUT THIS-" He yelled, as he was thrown in the air. "Too late."
2# FAILED SLEEPOVER
You laid in bed as you giggled. "Ok ok..so.. there's this person that I like-" you began, but Killer gasped. "Oh my god! Guys, guys! It's happening!" They all got closer to you, smiling like idiots. "Come on! Who's it? Are they nice??" Dust also nudged you as your cheeks started turning red.
You were about to start blabbering about them, until Nightmare scared the shit out of you all. "Why the fuck are you all up?! Go to sleep! I swear...I won't agree the next time y'all ask me about a sleepover..." You all sighed in annoyance. Damn, does this guy have zero knowledge of what it means to have fun? You laid on your side, closing your eyes, and about to fall asleep, until you felt Nightmare poke you softly. "..tell me about the special person later...I wanna know if they're good enough for you.."
3# Lacking Discipline
You and the boys successfully snuck in Nightmare's room. Tiptoeing towards his bed, along with quiet giggles. "Ok.. remember, we have to be quiet." You nodded at Dust's words, shooting looks at Killer. "Whaaat?" You playfully rolled your eyes at his antics.
You reached forward, and pulled Nightmare's sheets away from his boney face, as you gestured to Dust and Killer. They creepily smiled, holding their red markers.
Killer just finished his last line at Nightmare's mess of a face, when you saw Nightmare stirr in his sleep. It looks like he's about to wake up! You silently gasped, pushing Killer to the floor, and taking Horror's hand in the process.
Killer almost yelled when you shoved him to the floor. "Hey! Dust...!" He flashed him a pleading look, silently asking him for help. Dust just showed him a peace sign and teleported out of the room. "YOU BACKSTABBING BITCHES!!" Killer didn't realized that he raised his voice, out of frustration, until Nightmare stood behind him with a menacing glare.
Your friendship dynamic between them:
Nightmare:
Him: Doesn't want to let anyone get close to him.
You: Got close to him đ
Dust:
Him: Sunshine protector
You: Sunshine
Killer:
Him: A dumbass
You: Also a dumbass, but smarter
Horror:
Him: Mom (Dad) friend
You: The reckless idiot
Error:
Him: Can't spell
You: Mocks his typos
Incorrect quotes:
1:
Y/N: Between Dust, Error, Nightmare, and Killer -- if you had to -- who would you punch?
Horror: No one! They're my friends. I wouldn't punch any of them.
Y/N: Killer?
Horror: Yeah, but I don't know why.
2:
Y/N: Itâs not gonna work, Iâm not a snitch.
Cop: Fine, let's try something else. Tag a friend you recently committed a crime with.
Y/N: Lmao, @Nightmare.
3:
Y/n: They donât make them like me no more. Iâm the last of my kind.
Error: Thank god.
4:
Horror: Good night.
Y/n: Sleep tight.
Dust: Don't let the bedbugs crawl up to your ear and whisper threatening things that make you question yourself.
Nightmare: Great, now Killer's crying.
5:
Dust: I wish I was a cat, but not in a furry kinda way, more like a âI can sleep all day and hit people with no consequencesâ kinda way.
6:
Error: We can't lose. Because we have this. *points to his chest*
Y/N: We have a soul?
Horror: A soul? No, me. I'm pointing at myself. I'm going to win this for us.
7:
Y/n: I am going to cry. Iâm going to cry until I can no longer physically cry anymore because all the water in my body is gone and I die from dehydration.
Killer: Are you okay?
Dust: Did you actually just ask them that? Like, you need that to be answered otherwise you wonât know?
8:
Dust: Small creatures are much more vicious because they have a smaller body to bottle up all their emotions.
Error: Ridiculous. Give me some examples.
Horror: Wasps?
Nightmare: Terriers?
Killer: Y/n.
9:
Nightmare: You have to apologize to Y/N!
Killer: Fine!
Killer: Unfuck you, or whatever!
10:
Dust: Sometimes I drink milk straight from the container.
Killer: The cow??
Horror: What?
Y/n: Killer, W H Y?
Short Headcanons:
Dust likes to share his notes he made about some Au's with you, because you find it interesting.
Killer goes to you for flirting advice, no matter how good (or bad) your flirts are.
Dust likes to scare you by popping up in front of you. (He likes your reaction)
Horror will steal your food quite frequently.
Nightmare has strictly put up a poster on his office, that's forbidding you to go in.
Error shares his popcorn with you when y'all watch movies.
It takes a long time before your movie night starts, and that's just because you're all arguing on what to watch.
Y'all aren't much up for cuddling, as a group... Aside from Killer and Horror.
I don't know, maybe I'll do part two. I really liked this request by the way. Have a nice day/night!! :D

Despair Time Chapter 2 Review Part 1: The Good
Hey guys Review Anon here and whatâs this? Iâm reviewing something other than ASOOT arcs? Yes, yes, I am. Shocker I know but I am not treading too far as Iâm still covering Danganronpa as Iâm reviewing Chapter 2 of Despair Time now itâs finished. I have my thoughts on it and now Iâve taken some time to take it all in I can talk about what went well, what didnât go well and what lessons we can take away from the whole thing. I was gonna wait until Bubbles does their review/rant but natural disasters are bitches and power hasnât been restored yet. So, Iâm doing this now to get out of the way.
And for any people coming here from non ASOOT related tags then I will apologise in advance because you are gonna be in for a LOOONNNGGGG read. If you are the type to go tl;dr then turn away now.
I presume the rest of you want to read it? Well, letâs get right to it. Iâve split this into three parts because I donât want to do Google Docs for this, and it would be an easier read for those who came from the non ASOOT space as you guys arenât used to my lengthy reviews. Consider this your crash course on how I review, in extreme detail and excessive word count. This right here is about 8.5k which is a bite size by my standards which should tell you everything.
Please bear in mind you will have to wait a bit for the next parts as I want to get my current project done before this. Its just I didn't anticipate this taking so long.
Anyway, letâs get right into it, shall we?
Chains of Friendship
Chapter 1s for any Fanronpa tend to be very shocking as itâs the creatorâs way to try and surprise the audience and subvert any expectations they have. Some do this well, others do not. But Despair Time was one of those who did it well by how it handled the main protagonist Teruko Tawaki.
At first glance she seemed to be an atypical Danganronpa protagonist. Ultimate Lucky Student? Check. Has an ahoge? Check. Believes in friendship, trust, hope and all those bollocks? Check. Gets backstabbed by someone they believed to be a friend in the first chapter? Check quite literally. Forgives said friend and continues to be a ray of sunshine? Ch- oh wait hang on a minute she didnât do that at all.
Yeeaahhh while Xanderâs sudden attempted murder on Teruko was a massive shock, what was even more so that Teruko decided to say fuck friendship and trust and not trust anyone ever again. On one hand you can understand Terukoâs rage. She was very close to Xander and he used that trust to try and kill her. Min was also someone who supported Teruko and she was willing to throw Teruko under the bus to save her own skin. None of the others stood up for her as they all decided that Teruko killed Xander, and it was only thanks to the power of protagonist energy and using basic logic that saved them. As such Teruko was well within her right to call everyone out for being selfish bastards. Especially since as we get to know more of Teruko this chapter, we learn that what happened in Chapter 1, while extreme, is a snapshot of her entire life due to how ruinous her luck has been.
I donât think Iâve said this before, but I will say it now, luck SUCKS in the Danganronpa universe. Look at all the Lucky Students we had, Makoto is the only one who has a decent life and he loses the most. Nagito is so ravaged by luck heâs become suicidal and depressed. Yuki goes through literal hell due to his luck and the less said about Utsuro, the better. And while itâs still very much a WIP, one of my OCs is a Lucky Student and her life is equally ruined by her luck. But donât worry Iâve not copy pasted it from anyone else as the direction Iâve taken my OC is in a way nobody has done before. And what Teruko has here is a fine example of that. She is an orphan who was abandoned by everyone in her life, she has numerous wounds on her body, she barely has any education as she has to sneak into large schools as a student and then once the gig is up, run away and her finances are in ruins due to the hospital bills. Its little surprise why she likes the Killing Game, as she gets guaranteed food and shelter here, which is more then what can be said outside. But even that has a silver lining as we know whoever the mastermind is, they have it out for her.
However, while this is a massive departure from what the typical protagonist would go through, itâs a known fact that in a Killing Game, you NEED to work with others. Class Trials are decided by majority vote and so if you become a pariah, you are very likely to be ignored and might risk dooming yourself or others if what you are saying is true. Teruko doesnât have to like her classmates, but she needs to learn to coexist with them. Especially since Teruko switching from âI hate and distrust everyoneâ to âWe are all friendsâ is a major mood whiplash I doubt anyone would do. So naturally one of the main themes of this chapter is learning to rebuild trust after its broken and the consequences of not trusting anyone.
Two major voices object to Terukoâs self-imposed isolation and distrust of everyone. The first is Eden Tobisa. Sheâs always been a cheerful and optimistic person within the Killing Game and has taken Xanderâs and Minâs deaths harshly. In a way Eden behaves more like what a typical Danganronpa protagonist does, wanting to be friends with everyone and being kind. When she tries to get Teruko to bake with her, Teruko reminds her the last time they baked was with Hu, Rose and Min and that was later used for Minâs murder of Xander. She calls her naĂŻve for being optimistic and says she wonât be friends with her, because she knows that at some point, Eden will crack from the harsh reality of the Killing Game and the luckster doesnât want a stake in it. Kindness will always be rewarded with cruelty.
But when she says this Eden surprises her as contrary to what Teruko thinks, Eden isnât oblivious to the cruelness of the Killing Game and reality as a whole. Yet the small clockmaker chooses to be kind because itâs the right thing to do, and if you give someone kindness while people can backstab you, you can be rewarded. When it comes to trust and distrust you need a healthy balance.
When I reviewed Black and White Christmas, I didnât like how Sunako was forcing the Quantum Crew to trust the 76 Squad for a couple of reasons. I tried explaining it at the time, but I felt I telegraphed it quite poorly and Iâm sure thatâs irritated Mod Poi. The first one is on me, as I didnât really know the 76 Squad then and as such couldnât really tell at face value if they were to be trusted or not. Since they are from NWPM and I struggled to read it, my lack of knowledge led to that judgement, but the other thing is that I compared the whole thing to Raja and the Last Dragon and how it mishandled the theme of trust. Expect I didnât explain it very well or misunderstood the hate. The main reason Raja got betrayed the first time was because she trusted Namaari too much, which you should never do to people you literally just meet. Give them the benefit of doubt yes, but never open yourself up to someone you donât know that well. Teruko made that mistake with Xander and thatâs why she got a knife in her gut.
While itâs a heartfelt speech, it had a notable impact on Teruko as she didnât know how to respond. When you expect nothing but betrayal and backstabbing, having someone be kind for the sake of it can shock you. Itâs the same shock Kyoko experienced in Trigger Happy Havoc when she didnât expect Makoto to keep his mouth shut about evidence that he knows is false, and he explained itâs because he trusts her, she didnât know how to respond. While Eden isnât the main protagonist, the same principle applies.
Eden isnât the only person who objects to Terukoâs views that you should never have faith in others as the other is Charles Cuevas. Starting off Charles was your atypical smug intellectual who believes heâs superior to others, akin like Byakuya and Rei. But much like them, he softens up and learns to work with others though in Charlesâs case itâs a bit more extreme. In Chapter 1 he was revealed to suffer from Hemophobia, so much so that if he sees blood, he literally goes into shock and canât remember anything. Xander uses this to his advantage to try and frame Charles for his would be killing of Teruko, but when it seems like everyone is turning on Charles, Whit is the one who stands up for him, gives evidence why he couldnât do it and so Charles is cleared. This has caused the formally smug chemist to go through a bit of character development as while in Chapter 2 he still thinks his intelligence is beyond that of most of the cast, he isnât pushing them down as much and has soften up to certain characters, most particularly Whit and Teruko. The former because he stood up for him and is an honest friend and the latter due to demonstrating that unlike most of the cast, Teruko actually uses her brain. Itâs a slow burn but assuming Charles survives all to the end, he will become a much better person.
So, when Teruko talks about her disbelief that he is trusting people after what happened in the Class Trail, he brings up some valid points on why Teruko is actually being quite illogical as cooperation with others is key to surviving this game and humans are social pack animals by design, we work better as a team.
Chapter 1 Charles is pretty much Chapter 2 Teruko but after learning he cannot look at a corpse and thus is incapable of surviving on his own, Charles has started to learn how to rely on others. In some ways he doesnât like how everyone pities him now so Teruko is a relief as her interactions with him havenât changed. But while Eden says why Teruko is wrong from an emotional and moral perspective, Charles approaches it from a logical and factual point of view. As many analysts have already pointed out, itâs impossible to do a solo act in a Killing Game, if you want to live, you need to learn how to work with others. Either to prevent yourself from becoming a target, or so others can help you when you are down, much like how Whit helped Charles in his lowest point. As such using his own experiences, he knows the direction Teruko is coming from and implores her to reconsider as eventually events will occur which will force her back to trusting others again.
I like this as we have two different characters, both who get tons of development this Chapter, attacking Terukoâs morals from different angles. But while they are definitely making dents, Teruko is able to justify in her worldview that sheâs been beaten too many times to be like Eden, especially as Eden seems to have had a good life where her worst secret is that sheâs a closet lesbian. Which okay its definitely something Eden might have been harassed over if bigotry is still a thing in this world, but with so many of the cast being LGBTQ, itâs not the worst secret in the world. And for Charles, he has a deliberating condition which prevents him from surviving on his own. Everyone knows about Terukoâs luck and sheâs survived this well without needing help on it so she doesnât need to rely on others.
Expect of course, sheâs wrong, because during an interaction with Veronika, she brings up the suggestion that Teruko might have prosopagnosia.
While itâs not confirmed in this Chapter, I do believe Bubbles has a point that Teruko might have face blindness but I donât think its prosopagnosia. Recall that Teruko has had a very harsh upbringing where she couldnât get close to people or have a solid support network. Itâs known that having a disruptive childhood can lead to arrested development in various areas. I recall a case where a woman had blurry vision for a long time as a child and wasnât diagnosed as shortsighted until much later in her life and because this happened after the point in a childâs development where the sense of self develops, it means this woman had a lot of self-identity problems and has a hard time recognising herself or others. But she doesnât have prosopagnosia as thatâs a neurological condition you are born with. Rather I feel the face blindness is due to people fazing in and out of Terukoâs life so much that she doesnât bother forming connections and that is whatâs fucked her up.
Regardless of the technicities, it IS a problem in a Killing Game because it would be very easy for someone to trick Teruko by merely dressing up as someone else. That wouldnât be a problem if Teruko has a support network in place, but if she doesnât, then sheâs a goner. So, like Charles, for medical reasons Teruko doesnât have the means to stand on her own and needs others to help her.
But the one character who shattered Terukoâs worldview and made her realise what sheâs doing is wrong is the victim of this chapter; Arei Nageishi.
When Arei was introduced back in the Prologue at first it seemed like she was gonna be an insufferable Hiyoko-like character. Sheâs vicious, mean and enjoys tormenting others. But Chapter 1 reveals some layers to her as when Eden invited Teruko, Rose, Min and Hu to bake, Arei got really upset because she wasnât invited, implying she wants to be involved with the group but doesnât know how to approach it in any way other than being mean. Then during her FTE with J, she reveals that she has a ranking system in place for how badly she bullies other, while some like J get mild teasing, others she will try to ruin their lives completely. And for kind people she will make sure they cry because she cannot stand anyone being kind, implying that Arei seems to have a real problem with people being kind.
As such when Eden goes to apologise to Arei for excluding her, at first Arei behaves like how Teruko would think she would, she belittles Eden, calls her dumb and says sheâs gonna die if she keeps this up, which causes Eden to burst into tears and run away. But alone with David and Teruko, Arei confesses that she didnât like doing that. She said that stuff to Eden to protect her, because she believes the world is like what Teruko says it is, that kindness cannot be rewarded with anything other than cruelty. And if Eden keeps this up, sheâs gonna die. The reason for this is as you would expect due to trauma as Areiâs older sisters would torment her constantly and make her life hell, until Arei just had it and frame her sisters for a bunch of crimes which resulted in them getting send to reform school. This here is a snapshot of one of the main themes this chapter has so we will come back to it later. So, is Arei just reinforcing Terukoâs worldview? Nope. Because then Arei reveals that despite all of that, she WANTS kind people to exist, she HAS to be doubtful of Eden because sheâs so kind and optimistic, the exact person Arei wants to have in her life, but her past experiences have gotten in the way. And as she breaks down sobbing due to that, something stirs within Teruko.
Without realising it, Arei has shot a massive wound in Terukoâs armour. Sheâs someone who is basically like Teruko, who is rude and cruel to others because every time sheâs tried to be kind, it was slapped down and punished. She also believes the world is a dark and evil place, but she also wants to believe kind people exist, despite what her experiences have taught her. This is what Teruko is going through. The fact she does cactus puppet plays of Xander and Min, shows that despite what Teruko claims, she is not a sociopath and can care for others, and she wants to be friends with everyone but having been hurt so badly, she cannot get close again. Teruko, without realising it, sees a lot of herself within Arei. She denies it at the time but those words have an impact on her.
Davidâs speech to her, even though its hollow and not even Arei believed it because she saw his secret and knew he was a piece of shit, still didnât mind it. The reason being is that even if someone like David, who is seen as a beacon of hope and sunshine, is a rotten bastard deep down, then its proof she isnât too far gone. While obviously we donât have David reveal this to the others, we see the conversation happen, and it clearly had an effect on David, due to him remembering it so vividly. Areiâs drive to become a better person wound up saving Edenâs life twice as she interrupted Arturoâs attack on Eden when she tried to reveal his secret to him, and by doing her stunt Ace, the culprit for this case, decided to switch targets and go for Arei instead of Eden. Which Iâm glad that Eden didnât die because if she did, that would convince many that Despair Time was gonna be a cynical work like the Another Series and The Mistake. And why of course Arei still died this chapter, her death was NOT caused by her reaching out to others because Ace was gonna kill regardless of what was happening. And Terukoâs rage at Ace for killing Arei was less about him having a shitty motive but because had Arei lived, she and Teruko would have become good friends, since she would have understood Terukoâs pain and her desire to want to trust others regardless of her past.
Teruko also suffered the consequences of shutting others out as by being isolationist, Teruko has missed the context for a lot of what shenanigans have unfolded among others, and due to believing her viewpoint to be the only correct one, she makes mistakes. During the Class Trial, Teruko misreads the time and assumed the murder occurred at 8pm and NOT 8am which is Areiâs true time of death. Had Charles not pointed this out, David would be ruled as the culprit and everyone would have been executed. Another major mistake Teruko made was in how to end the Killing Game. When Veronika said that Eden had an idea to end the Killing Game by being as boring as possible, Teruko said that wouldnât work as thatâs why motives exist, whereas she has an idea but she needs to wait until the next murder occurs. We are left hanging, and for Areiâs case quite literally on what she meant by that, that is until Ace was exposed as the culprit and Teruko asks Ace to do something outrageous; Kill MonoTV.
Terukoâs logic for this at first glance seems sound. The reason the Killing Game occurs is due to the fact they have to follow MonoTVâs rules, and breaking them results in death. However, with Ace due to die via execution, he has nothing to lose. If he destroys MonoTV he has a chance to save his own life, of course if he fails, so what, Ace is gonna die anything so it achieves nothing. In short, there is no downsides and only upsides.
Expect of course if you have been paying attention, this is not the case. Firstly, normally with the mascots they tend to have copies, one gets destroyed, another takes its place. Thus, the game will carry on, but then thereâs another one and one that tripped a lot of people up. When MonoTV was asked who would be the blackened, he said whoever was the most âmastermind-yâ Now a lot of people interpreted this as being whoever is behind the murder and not necessarily the murderer. This is why Bubbles proposed that while Hu would be the one to kill Arei/J, David would be the blackened as he was the one who manipulated Hu into doing so. But this logic doesnât just apply to murders, when Ace obliges and tries to smash MonoTV, it doesnât work due to the robot being more durable then initially thought, the AI said that while Ace did break a rule, he was gonna be executed anyway so it would achieve nothing. As such the one being punished would be the one who told Ace to break said rule; Teruko herself.
As the countdown for Teruko to get gatling gunned occurs, I wasnât worried like Teruko, as I KNEW someone was gonna jump in front of her and take the shots. The question was; who? I was thinking either Eden or Charles would do so as both have strong connections to Teruko, and for both it would be a massive contribution to their characters. In Edenâs case its shows sheâs not scared to fight what she believes in, and returning the favour. Teruko stood up for her when the culprits narrowed down to Ace and herself, and Teruko decided to focus on Ace, so the petite clockmaker would return the favour. For Charles, it would be him facing his fears as he is terrified of the sight of blood and gore, so him jumping in front of the way of a gatling gun, assuming he survives, would show how much he is starting to care for the others. Anyone else aside those twoâŠI didnât think so. Ace would have never done so as Iâm sure he is the one who voted for Teruko. Nico clearly wanted to get away with their crimes and the others either arenât close to Teruko or jumping in front of the gun would be out of character for them. So, when the timer hit zero, I expected a CGI of either Eden or Charles with a lot of bullets in themâŠ
But instead, my expectations were blown wide open by the fact that Levi of all people jumped in front of Teruko and shielded her from the bullets. This reminded me very much of when Akane was almost blown up by a bazooka by Monokuma but Nekomaru blocked his way and got shot. Considering what we learnt about Levi in this Chapter, this really took me off guard AND bumped him up several tiers in my character rankings.
But this had a total shock on Teruko, as she believed if she didnât care for anyone else, nobody would likewise care for her, so the fact that someone cared enough to shield her from pain, and that they are on deathâs door because of her, send shockwaves through Terukoâs body as when after Aceâs execution as everyone rushed to the infirmary to treat Levi, Teruko stayed behind to do something she said she would never do; mourn.
The amount of people who contributed to Terukoâs character development doesnât end there as while those four are examples of positive interactions for Teruko, we have had two cases of negative interactions who serve a different purpose, the first is David Chiem.
When introduced DavidâŠseemed off. He seemed like an affable and friendly person who believes everyone has the motivation and desire to change, and Xander in particular seems to be a massive fanboy of him. But like most celebrities and people in public that is just a façade is in the Prologue when Xander went off to get something for his idol to sign, we see David chuckling to himself on how much of an idiot Xander is, without realising that Teruko was there to see it all, and his shock when she reveals she heard that, says it all. Chapter 2 brought up the suss meter even further when David âconfessedâ his secret and implored everyone to discuss their own secrets, which far from doing good, ended up causing a lot of drama and tension. Anyone with a irk of sense could tell David was fake, I knew he was fake, Bubbles knew he was fake, pretty much most Youtubers reacting knew he was fake.
Another factor working against him is his VA. Quite a few SDRA2 English Dub VAs also worked on Despair Time, and for the most part is interesting to see their contrasts. Bblackroses is known for playing Hibiki Otonokoji, but here she is J who while Hibiki is a bubbly peppy girly-girly, J is a complete tomboy who hates the starlight and fame. Artimmissis Setsuka Chiebukuro, who is a very reliable woman with a prankster side to her, but here she is MonoTV an incompetent mastermind who tells the worst jokes. David Chiemâs VA is Sword of Swords who also worked on SDRA2, and what character did he play there?
Oh, nobody important, just Mikado Sannoji the Mastermind of that game, the leader of the main antagonist group Void and more or less a piece of shit.
At first glance the contrast seems to be that Mikado is an evil bastard whereas David is a moral force of good. But as the pressure mounts for David and the fact his secret is that heâs a manipulator who likes to deceive others, as well as how he mocked Areiâs desire for friends earlier, meant when it reached the boiling point the mask came off and David revealed his true self.
Itâs here the true contrasts between him and Mikado become clear. Both are men who hide their true selves behind a mask, literally for Mikado and figuratively for David and both pretended to be forces of good before their masks slip and their true vile nature is revealed. David is obvious as he tried to be a good moral speaker whereas Mikado you might have missed it tried to be a hero and claim Void was a force of good before Rei and Teruya ruined it. In addition, their true selves are so VERY different. Mikado always remained polite and affable even when he is being extremely bastardry whereas David is rude, condensing and swears all the damn time. I also cannot help that Davidâs true self looking a lot like Utsuro, who is the main object of Mikadoâs desires cannot NOT be a coincidence.
But what does David show for Teruko? Well, he seems to at a glance reinforce Terukoâs beliefs that nobody can be trusted as Teruko smugly pointed out she saw the warning signs of him being evil way before anyone else did. And whenever he talks to her, he seems to want to keep this act of Teruko hating everyone up, saying itâs her nature to distrust others and the only thing she trusts is the truth. And then here is his final confession he wants Teruko to trust what heâs saying. David is in a way a warning of the kind of person Teruko would become if she keeps on her current path. I also think that David had Terukoâs secret and knows itâs her fault the Killing Game is going on. The fact he keeps seemly praising Xander and calling him a good person is obviously an attempt to get under Terukoâs skin due to how she feels about him. I for one second donât believe he cares about Xander.
Mr. Politician isnât the only person who serves as a warning as the culprit of this chapter, Ace Markey does as well. Ace always seemed to be a coward as he is easily scared of his own shadow and while he talks tough, he doesnât have the actions to back it up. However, in Chapter 2 Ace gets sick and tired of being a wimp and thus decides to become a bully, which is still being a coward as pretty much most bullies bully because they are cowards who want someone weaker than themselves to lord over to make themselves feel better. Yet what drives Aceâs actions is his Thanatophobia, fear of death which is a very bad thing to have in a Killing Game. Due to this fear, Ace decides to commit murder as he feels if he doesnât kill someone, someone will do the same to him and the fact Nico almost does, reinforces this belief. Teruko is someone while not paranoid, is very distrustful of everyone and if she feels that anyone and everyone is out to get her, she could fall down the same slippery slope that Ace does.
Despite this, Ace still manages to surprise her as when Levi takes the bullets for her, everyone needs to get to the infirmary to treat Levi otherwise he dies, but the lift wonât work since Ace still needs to be executed. Ace has already made it very clear he hates and despises Levi, especially after the latter confesses that he doesnât care about the former, which seemed to really hurt him, but seeing someone he hates that much do something so selfless, means he decides to do the one decent thing in his life, while also being his last, getting MonoTV to execute him so the lift doors open and Levi could be saved.
That I think was the final straw which broke Teruko. She has had mounting pressure throughout the entire Chapter but then someone who was a coward, sacrificing himself so that someone else could live, is the final crushing proof as well as the knowledge that while she avoided making the same mistakes as before, she just wound up making new ones, that caused her to cry alone in the Trial Room.
We also get interesting character interactions with Teruko and MonoTV throughout the chapter. Since Teruko isolated herself so much from the others, MonoTV hires her to do maintenance around the Killing Game since heâs too incompetent to do it himself. As Monokumas were originally butler robots this would have never happened in the main series. We learn a far bit about MonoTV, that he is a simple robot designed for the Killing Game and he doesnât have full knowledge on whoâs running the thing as he was only programmed to do what his tasks enabled. And as Teruko pointed out, he is sadistic as Min was executed before she could say everything she wanted to and Aceâs execution was dragged out for as long as possible, in both cases itâs to make the victims feel the most despair. The other interesting thing is that Teruko can use Monocoins to get him to remove other characters who are bothering her which is the complete contrast to FTEs. What should we call them instead? Exclusion Zone Effects or EZE? Nah that doesnât roll off the tongue.
In conclusion, I really liked how Teruko was handled in this Chapter due to how much of a cliffhanger the previous chapter left with her. This chapter did so much to knock her down for her high and mighty view and while she wonât be buddy-buddy come Chapter 3, I do believe that she will be more approachable to the cast. Terukoâs journey throughout this fanganronpa will be interesting to see and I see her opening up more about her past as she gets more comfortable with the cast.
Trust in Nature
Every Danganronpa game has two themes, no matter how you slice it. The first theme is the most obvious one and this is a theme that the protagonist and the mastermind have in common. For Trigger Happy Havoc its Hope vs. Despair, Goodbye Despair is Future vs. Past and Killing Harmony is Truth vs. Lies.
Some have said that itâs too early to call what the themes for Despair Time are, but I disagree as Chapter 2 imo is the ideal time to introduce your themes, and I think Iâve worked them out. The primary theme is one that doesnât take much to deduce and others have caught onto it and that is Optimism vs. Cynicism. Teruko is a very cynical individual and doesnât think she can trust others but more optimistic people disagree, saying being jaded makes you more open to being deceived. Eden and Charles, who are 100% the partners in this fanganronpa serving similar roles to Kaito and Maki in Killing Harmony where one represents the emotional connection and the other the logical one. Eden is always a bundle of sunshine and wanting everyone to be happy, but unlike someone like say Makoto, she isnât oblivious to the fact the world is cruel but chooses to be kind regardless because its decent and itâs the most moral thing to do. Charles is more logical based and originally was quite cynical but having been shown kindness by Whit, he has opened up a bit more to some other people and while he definitely is a work in progress, he is more optimistic about surviving and escaping the Killing Game.
And this brings me to the Rival of the Fanganronpa; David. Bubbles didnât like David surviving past Chapter 2, ignoring their own hatred for David aside because they didnât think David contributed anything meaningful to the overall narrative of Despair Time. I disagree harshly as if I am right with the main themes of Despair Time, David is 100% a perfect Rival character as he represents those themes so well. The cynicism side is obvious as David believes that everyone is gonna die in the Killing Game and there is no point to continuing so might as well get it over and done with. This is why when Davidâs true nature was exposed, he tried to claim to be the killer, which is another typical rival tactic, so everyone votes for him and they all die. This very logic is why Teruko said she is not the culprit because as soon as David went on his tirade, it would have been an instant win condition for her. And as the game progresses more and more people are gonna want to live to prove David wrong and his mental sanity is probably gonna decline as a result until his Rival protection cause expires in Chapter 5 where he probably dies in a way to try and spite the cast. Going back to the Mastermind, I believe they think the Despair Time cast are all horrible people that deserve to die, whenever that be because they are Neo Remnants of Despair or something to do with Teruko, and as such use the Killing Game to kill them all. By the end of the fanganronpa, Teruko would have become more like a typical Danganronpa protagonist and be able to defy the mastermind wanting to kill her by showing the world is not a bleak place and people can change and improve.
That brings me nicely to the secondary themes. The primary themes are shared between the protagonist and the mastermind, whereas the secondary themes are shared between the group and the rival character. This take a bit more thinking to figure out but I think Iâve cracked what Despair Timeâs secondary theme is. Trigger Happy Havocâs is working together as a team as the class are trying to work together to survive the Killing Game while Byakuya is trying to play the Killing Game in order to âwinâ and isolates himself from the others. Goodbye Despairâs secondary theme is a deconstruction of the idea of talent as despite being Ultimates, Class 77-B doesnât really care about their talents and support each other for their own individual characteristics and despite Hajime being revealed to be a Reserve Course Student, are extremely accepting of him. Nagito by contrast believes Hopeâs Peak talented and talentless system is gospel, praises his fellow Ultimates for their talents which they do not want to be reminded by and is extremely cruel to Hajime when he finds out he is a talentless person who thinks he can mingle with his idea of the elite. Killing Harmonyâs secondary theme is wanting to remain stagnant and compliant as the V3 Cast are very content to stick to the status quo and carry on with their lives, whereas Kokichi would rather shake things up and challenge said status quo. All of these secondary themes are very important to the story. And with that I believe Despair Timeâs secondary theme is if humanity is inherently good or evil.
That seems very similar to Optimism vs. Cynicism but it isnât. This theme tackles if humans are capable of changing their nature or if they are always either good or evil. From this itâs very easy to see where David lies, he believes humanity cannot change their nature, people are either saints or scum. If someone can âchange themselvesâ itâs because they were never that bad to begin with, whereas truly evil people cannot change. And Teruko also seems to agree on this concept because whenever Eden says she is a good person, Teruko tells her to stop as by saying that, she makes her feel worse for the fact she can change but she hasnât made the effort to do so. Teruko always believed she was scum and would die like scum if she cared about nobody around her.
Naturally this chapter has a few characters who challenge this rule big time. Letâs start with Levi, the guy has always seemed chill but we get to see more of a scary side to him when he threatens to kill Ace if he doesnât stop being an arsehole. We also have an interesting opening discussion with him and Eden where Levi confesses that he doesnât see himself as a good person, contrary to what Eden thinks. This all gets revealed in the Class Trial when Levi admits that he doesnât possess empathy and therefore cannot care about anyone around him, the fact heâs killed 4 people, one of whom being his own father and yet he treats it with the same disinterest as one would swat a fly, is very telling.
Fans were quick to diagnose Levi with Antisocial Personality Disorder, and this is where DT Dev actually impressed me big time. This disorder is one of the most maligned within society, even more so in my opinion then those on the autistic spectrum. The reason being is simple, almost every single time a fictional character is revealed to have this disorder they are almost always a psychopathic villain who kills everyone around them and gives zero shits. To say how damaging this stereotype is unbelievable and Levi is frankly the most realistic portrayal of someone with this disorder. Yes, Levi doesnât have empathy, or a very low level of it, but he still tries to be a good person not because of morals and emotions, but more so out of a sense of duty, especially as before Levi revealed it nobody suspected a thing due to Levi not behaving like the usual stereotypes. He isnât very good at it because he's trying to figure out how to be a good person which isnât easy when itâs not instinct. When Ace asked if he cared about him at all and Levi responded with flat no, while Ace screamed at Levi in his usual manner, itâs clear the jockey was hurt by this reveal as a small part of him wanted to consider Levi a friend.
So, for Levi to then shield Teruko with his body from the gatling gun, not only comes as a massive shock but I believe this is Leviâs attempts of trying to prove he is a good person. Chances are, he wasnât happy with how he handled the situation with Ace and wanted to prove something to him, so thatâs why he protected Teruko, not only because thinking about it, Levi was probably one of the few characters who could survive that, but to try and redeem himself from how he mishandled the situation with Ace. And the effects of this are very clear as Ace, who was trying to prolong his death as much as possible, upon realising the only way to save Levi is for him to die, demands MonoTV to execute him. If someone without a clear concept of empathy can be a good person, then isnât that proof humans can change?
Arei is another character who also wants to believe she can change. After she decides to become a good person, the bowler saves Eden from being threatened by Arturo and then later that night confronts David about the fact she knows heâs full of shit. We heard some of this originally from Ace who overheard the conversation, but when David is thinking about what to say to Eden, we hear the other half where Arei says sheâs glad David is horrible because it means there is no such thing as a pure good person. That even someone like Eden might have done something nasty and if heâs so deprived then thereâs hope left for her. She even offers a hand of friendship to David because she thinks they are one and the same, and they can improve their behaviour together. The fact David remembers this means the conversation had a meaningful impact on him, even though he doesnât show it. What Arei is showing is clear existentialism or optimistic nihilism. Nihilism which Iâm sure 75% of people reading this believe in, is where you believe nothing in the world matters because itâs all meaningless. Optimistic nihilism by contrast is saying that yes nothing matters, but thatâs okay because you have the power to decide what is most important. Arei clearly believes there is no such thing as a pure good person, but what she can be is a slightly less shitty person then she was before.
And finally, thereâs Ace. Aceâs motive for killing Arei is the fact he is scared of death, and that if he didnât kill someone, then he would be killed. His reason for targeting Arei was simply coincidence, his original target was Eden but upon learning of Areiâs desire to change, decided to exploit that to target her. Ace also demonstrates a level of intelligence we havenât seen from him before given that he was able to memorise how Nico tried to kill him, replicate that method, overpower Arei with a method unique to him and since everyone thinks Ace is dumb, he was able to pull the wool over their eyes and he could have damn well gotten away with it, especially with Davidâs stunt making so many convinced he was the one who killed Arei. Goes to show that people are not as stupid as you think. He gets chewed out big time by Teruko who calls him a coward, his motive is dumb and that Arei didnât deserve to die because of that. However, even when facing death there is still a chance for character development and that comes when Levi eats a rain of bullets. Not only does this change Aceâs opinion on Levi considering he hated his guts before, but he gives Arturo a well-deserved callout who claims he doesnât know how to treat Leviâs wounds because of his mix-maxed medical skills, but Ace calls him a coward saying as a surgeon he should know the basics and apply that skill to save Leviâs life or at least keep him alive as he gets executed. And yes, despite being as scared as possible for his death, he accepts it as itâs the only way to save Levi as the lift doors wonât open until he is executed.
Onto Aceâs execution I was pleasantly surprised as I have seen somewhere on YouTube an Ultimate Jockey Execution where the horses are used to tear the victim up, and I would have complained MASSIVELY if Ace went down a similar route. But no, the execution is more tailored to Aceâs fear of death by him escaping horror scenario after horror scenario, no wonder Veronika was orgasming over it, until when facing an execution squad, they shoot confetti and Ace suffers a heart attack and dies from fear. This is actually a real way people can die as during the 1970s, there was a string of cases where Hmong refugees would die from heart attacks in their sleep despite being healthy and middle-aged. Doctors at the time concluded that they were suffering nightmares so bad it would cause heart attacks and kill them in their sleep, and if this sounds familiar to you, it should as it was one of the inspirations behind A Nightmare on Elm Street. Thereâs a reason you shouldnât scare someone with heart problems and while Ace might not have any heart issues, he has been suffering a lot of stress which could have made his heart rate dodgy and then the execution delivered.
These themes are extremely heavy hitting and Iâm glad Despair Time is covering them. I could be wrong about them but thatâs my theory on what they are.
Murderer Among Us
And finally, my last big positive about Despair Timeâs Chapter 2 is the fact we not only get an attempted murder, with the plot twist the would-be victim would later become the culprit but the fact that this attempt didnât succeed means the would-be murderer walks among the cast still and they have to deal with the consequences.
I have wanted this since Killing Harmony when Monokuma offered the tantalising prospect that if there are two blackeneds, only the first murder counts. So, when Korekiyo confesses to killing Tenko, the cast cannot vote for him because if he didnât kill Angie, they would have got it wrong. I REALLY wanted it to be that Tenko was Angieâs killer, my logic being that Angie invited Tenko to her Talent Lab for a chat which got into a heated debate about how Angie was brainwashing Himiko and Tenko, who is quite hot-headed and doesnât always think straight, accidently killed Angie in the heat of the moment. She would then either cover up her crime or someone else like the Mastermind would make the locked room mystery which the cast discovered and when Kiyo announces he is gonna do a sĂ©ance, Tenko grows worried as if the sĂ©ance is a success, Angie would reveal the culprit so Tenko offered to become the vessel which led to her death. You could also argue that maybe she sensed Korekiyo was up to something and did it to protect Himiko. Either way that would make for an interesting Chapter 4 because tensions between Korekiyo and Himiko would be high, but of course Kodaka doesnât do anything with that and as a result we end up with 4 deaths, and 2 ruined chapters.
No other fanganronpa tried anything like this as they were all not willing to commit so I thank Despair Time wholeheartedly for actually having the balls to do so. As Nico, being pushed to their limit by Aceâs tormenting of them, which is very similar to how they are ostracised for being non-binary, meant they tried to commit murder by hanging Ace on the fans, but they not only miscalculated the strength of the fans but Ace woke up from being knocked unconscious and struggled awake. Before Nico could try again, Teruko and Eden showed up, foiling any would be attempt. Not only did Nico try to commit murder, but they betrayed the trust of both Hu who was trying to protect them but also Rose as Nico stole Huâs wire and Roseâs turpentine to use for their murder scheme. Whatâs interesting is they didnât apologise because they not only were not sorry for trying to kill Ace but know an apology wonât cut it. J gave Nico a very harsh verdict that even though their attempt was foiled, the point is they still tried to commit murder and was willing to give up the lives of everyone here for their own, and betrayed the trust of those who reached out to them. Hu hasnât had a very good time this chapter because two of her closest friends; David and Nico, turned out to be using her for their own schemes, and we see the consequences of her mother hen nature. I feel a major theme for Chapter 3 is gonna be forgiveness as both Nico and David have burnt a lot of bridges this chapter and the fact they still live, means they need to somehow get back into the good graces of the group. How they do this I donât know; David probably would be fine being a pariah but Iâm not sure if Nico is wanting to make amends. They might, but they might also think they went too far. I do hope that Nico tries, especially after they have seen that even people like Levi and Ace were willing to act selflessly. And who knows, maybe David might try but I think it would be a ruse, which will still work because this cast isnât the brightest.
Does this mean Nico would be a survivor? I donât know as I do believe between David and Nico, one will be a survivor and the other will die, probably as a victim but who I cannot tell as Chapter 3 would probably expand upon these two a bit more. Regardless Iâm glad this is being touched upon and I for one am looking forward to see where it takes Nico.
And thatâs all the positives I have to say about Chapter 2. Teruko had a good character arc, I like how we know the main themes, we know who presumably the partners and rival characters are, we have an attempted murderer walking among the cast, quite a few characters like Levi, Arei and Ace got moments to shine and the execution was well done. But it cannot be all sunshine and rainbows. As much as there is good, there is also bad so when we come back next time, Iâm gonna talk about what didnât go well for Chapter 2 and what DT Dev could do to improve things.
Until then, see ya! -Review Anon

Wesker: Chris, really. Ask yourself a question. Even if you do manage to kill me, and destroy umbrella, what do you think youâll really accomplish in the long run? Do you think BOWâs will end with us? That my ambitions will end with me?
Chris had seen his share of many hells. Being backstabbed by Wesker at the Mansion was one, and almost losing Jill to him was another. He spent a great deal of time healing, years of work repairing the emotional damages that had been done to him, and now he was tied up back to back with the son of a bitch himself.
The whole affair was stupid. Chris admitted to himself that he and Wesker had been too cocky for their own good, enough to where the deuteragonist on his mission was able to slip them a fast one. He couldn't believe he had fallen prey to his vengeance, not realizing who the more dangerous enemy had been this whole time.
Wesker cleared his throat, ignoring the blood that ran down his head. "Redfield, how are you faring? You've been too quiet."
"I was doing just fine until you spoke." Chris sighed, grunting as the rope around his waist tightened. He ignored the chuckle that escaped from his nemesis.
"Our mutual friend sure saw you coming."
"No, no," Chris corrected, growling under his breath. "He saw you coming. We wouldn't be in this mess if you weren't involved in the first place."
"And we wouldn't be tied up right now if you kept your nose out of people's business," Wesker said as a matter of fact. "We've both made our mistakes, Chris. Now the question is, what will we do about it?"
"I'd prefer nothing because it beats working alongside you." Chris spat.
"You'd choose death so easily?"
"Not unless I could kill you after I'm untied."
"Chris, really?" Wesker sighed and winced when he felt Chris struggle against the rope, keeping them locked together. "Ask yourself this question. Even if you manage to kill me and destroy Umbrella, what will you accomplish in the long run? Do you think BOWs will end with us, that my ambitions will end with me?"
"I'm hopeful, but I'm not naive. I know killing you won't solve the problem at large," Chris countered, furrowing his brows as sweat and blood trickled down his lips. "But it would make me feel much better knowing there's one less bastard like you running around."
"Finally, something we have in common," Wesker smirked. "I know killing you won't stop your fellow Boy Scouts from trying to meddle with my affairs, but I could sleep easier."
"Touching," Chris muttered. "So what's your grand plan to make it happen? Neither of us will get what we want if tied up."
Wesker raised a brow, turning his head to the left to catch a small glimpse of Chris's face. "I thought you'd rather die than work together?"
Chris's shoulders tensed, knowing Wesker had him there, and he couldn't admit it. "Just enlighten me."
"Huh," Wesker hummed in thought before he grinned. "I never thought you'd ask. Well, in that case, I think we need to play to our weaknesses."
"Come again?"
"The stab wound you gave me," Wesker bitterly mentioned, biting in the side of his lip before continuing. "I'm not dying, but our friend doesn't know that. If you can handle the weight, I can play dead. His lackeys are bound to see that on the cameras and come rushing. Remember, we're both no good to him if killed. You and I will strike once the enemy is lured into a false sense of security. Then we can continue our personal grievances elsewhere unless, of course, you'd prefer working with me for a bit longer to take down our friend who tied us up in the first place."
Chris mulled over Wesker's words for a moment. In the grand scheme of things, the idea was stupid, but he did have a point. Their lives were both worth something to their adversary. They could only enter negotiations with the BSAA if Chris were alive, and they couldn't access the classified BOW documents in the facility without Wesker's brains at the helm.
"Y'know," Chris swallowed, letting out a laugh. "Playing dead is probably one of the most sane things you've suggested."
Wesker scoffed, shaking his head before he grinned. "I see we agree with the plan then."
"Let's get this over with," Chris whispered. He braced himself as Wesker went through the motions, feigning he had lost consciousness. Chris fell to his knees as Wesker became limp, letting out a pained grunt. Sure enough, as Wesker foretold, the sound of quick feet came marching in their direction, soldiers barking orders, worried that one of their captives was deceased.
Son of a bitch was right...Chris shook his head. Wesker had put him through many hells, but this one time in silence, he'd admit this was ingenious.

This was NOT me and this is bullshit! I have been inactive for over a week and my friend just sent this to me. I would NEVER talk to another blogger like this ever. This was sent from an account @pussy-ass-bitch-fandom-wank
why do you think the anon signed it? Theyâre trying to frame me because I have been helping their victim @Lokilaufeysondiaries and theyâre pissed about it. Iâd never even heard of you until my friend sent this hereâs some more proof. Here people are notorious for pretending to be others they sent a friend a nasty anon and signed it "Abby118" another very real Loki blog who doesn't do that kind of stuff ever. I hope we can talk because this just absolutely not okay what so ever and it needs to stop.
okay, I'm going to address this one time and one time only. I have nothing to do with @littlelokilad, @lokihiddleston, the LMQ server, or any drama going down between yourselves and the aforementioned parties. I literally don't know any of you, nor do I care to be involved in whatever petty, high-school-clique bullshit is going on there.
However, I will say that I find myself extremely suspicious of anyone attempting to paint @lokilaufeysondiaries as some kind of innocent victim in all this. I became involved in this stupidity becauseâand only becauseâLLD displayed some very inappropriate, manipulative behaviours towards @abby118, a friend, in DM over Abby declining to unblock them (which is absolutely her right). When Abby decided to publicly call out this toxic behaviour on her own blog, providing direct screenshots of their conversation as evidence, she began to be accused of "bullying" LLD (ridiculous) and has since been sent multiple abusive and suicide-baiting asks, ostensibly in LLD's defence.
As for the above accusations by @buckybarnes-winters0ldier, I find it hilariously ironic to, in one breath, complain about people falling for baseless frame jobs and, in the very next, accuse @lotus-eyedindiangoddess of backstabbing her own friends (namely, myself and Abby) and orchestrating this entire mess. Without a lick of evidence, of course. As you do.
TL;DR I am way too fucking old to be invested or interested in whatever manufactured drama is going down on that side of the fandom. My only interest in this bullshit is, and ever has been, Abby being targeted for harassment. Full-stop.
Now, I will say that I am inclined to believe you when you say you were not behind the aforementioned askâif only because you would have to be very, very stupid to use the anon function only to announce your identity within the text of the ask. like, why?? And I am aware that Abby has been a victim of the very same (terribly executed) tactic. As such, I will update the post in question to reflect this... development? information? idk, whatever. That is, unfortunately, all I can really do, as we all know that once something is on the internet, it's on the internet forever. Even if I were to delete the whole post, any reblogs of it would still exist. If I update it instead, at least the contradicting information is there to be digested in the future, so that would seem to be the best option for dealing with this, to me.
I do sincerely apologise for whatever additional distress the aforementioned ask has caused to you. I have no interest in smearing anyone or discrediting their reputation. As I said, my sole interest in this entire matter has been Abby's well-being. Nothing more, and nothing less. Whoever it is behind all this manufactured dramaâand I shan't make any accusations here because I have no evidence to present, regardless of any personal suspicions I may or may not have *cough*âreally needs to get some less debilitating hobbies than treating real human beings on Tumblr like abused Barbie dolls to manipulate for their own sick amusement. It's pathetic.
#i'm so over this shit y'all#i'm bored and tired#can people not simply allow one another to exist in peace#it's a big fucking website#send me asks#fandom wank

Yooo, eeeextra long, kinda rambly dabihawks post incoming. I talk a fair bit about myself, because that's where my experiences come from, shocker there. God speed.
Woooooof here I am being extra emo about dabihawks tonight, so sit back and pull up a chair while I make good on outlining exactly what my main malfunction is concerning them, for the 3 people that care. One ticket to sad bitch island, population: me.
So I'm beginning this by saying; no this is not about canon dabihawks, I do in fact think those bitches are not good for each other from what I've seen, HOWEVER. I tend to look at things as they could be, not as they are, and the potential here is just ridiculous.
Source? Me. And people I know. And what I mean by that is I've lived as close to Dabi's life as I feel anyone is going to get without turning into a real life murderer, and I know plenty of people (myself included) who share plenty of attributes, aspirations etc with Hawks as well.
And I know, I know, they're fictional characters and there's no way anyone can pin down who they truly are, but I guess that's kind of my point. There's just enough suspension of disbelief that you could explain away pretty much anything, but that's true for most fanon pairings, and not my point.
SO. Onto my main point.
..........Human nature.
I hate to get all psychological but STAY WITH ME. As long as I can remember I've been very independent, the "I don't need anybody" type, because life had so thoroughly kicked the shit out of me that I was downright afraid of human connection because it always ended badly and I was always so hurt by it. Well now, later in life, and a couple diagnosis later, not only can I better sus out which relationships are worth pursuing, but I can understand what I'm looking for from other people and how to get it. And do you know what it is that I want now, no matter the cost to myself? Yessir, it's love, as fucking cringe as that is for me to say. Who saw that coming, eh?
There was a meme of sorts another user posted on Tumblr of the LOV and what they all wanted most as tweets or something, and someone else edited it(?) to have all of their reasons just say 'LOVE ME, LOVE ME, LOVE ME', and that lives rent free in my fucking head.
I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but it turns out love is, in fact, the answer.......(*soft gag*) Shit do I hate to admit that.
SO ALL OF THAT TO SAY.
Dabi and Hawks understand at least broadly what the other has gone through, so they would at least have a vague understanding of one another from that. People underestimate the power of empathy.
I'm gonna be kinda toxic here and say I'm at a point in my life where I need a partner to argue with. I need to bicker, and I also do NOT need to be surrounded by yes men, I need someone to call me on my bullshit, and I feel like they would truly be like that together. Going along with the understanding, I feel like they're very well suited to holding the other accountable.
Their chemistry in my mind is undeniable. I'm a red/blue pairing bitch, I have no defense for that one.
And I'm not gonna lie, at this point I'm having a very difficult time articulating what other reasons I have beyond projection, so perhaps I'm full of shit??
There's the ever constant popular trope of both their relationships with Endeavor complicating things, their quirks being incompatible, the, you know, literal backstabbing etc, but for my purposes that's all neither here nor there. Because there is something about their relationship, both as it is and what it could be, that makes me half feral. It's The Good Shitâą.
Yet again, all this to say that I truly believe despite Dabi's villainous tendencies and Hawks' position as the No. 2 hero, at some point both of those shits are going to be mighty sore for a similar connection, and I truly believe they are best suited for one another.

I think a lot about the fact that all of the female freelancers, not just Tex were designed to fail in one way or another. For Connie, she was told she would never meet the skills of her colleagues, which put her in such a position where she was doomed to snap, and a position she was doomed to be hunted down loosing it. Carolina was taunted with the brink of failure, her whole life she believed what was perfect was being at the top of it, this was only really fueled by the Director. While not directly ever said we can assume this was the only way Carolina could see herself close to her father. Then it was just taken away from her where failures piled up on her and up on her causing her to become obsessed with someone she can literally never beat. South was the control variant of an experiment, South was forced to snap constantly and was punished for doing so. She was constantly taunted like a dog. Even Ohio, all sheâs ever known was failure, she and the triplets tried and tried to make themselves known for being more then bottom of the barrel freelancers, but never succeeded until they were just left for dead
Project freelancer egged all of them on so much to the point where they can only be known as their worst qualities and the writers did an excellent job at this because most of the fandom thinks of them similarly. All of their worst qualities were just fueled and fueled to the point where during the freelancer arc, you can forget their good qualities. I think Southâs the best example, because so many people canât see her as more then a backstabbing short tempered bitch, rather than a highly skilled, well organized, timed and motivated killer, who can fucking hide amongst pipes and wipe out guards without a sound, while sometimes over her head can and will defend herself. Or Carolina, became selfish with obsession, to the point where sheâd betray her partner and friends, in favor of pursuing her idea of success, because in the program, there wasnât another way
Iâm in no way a South apologist, but honestly, I feel like all the female freelancers, all had such strong themes of failure in their lives, some were able to overcome it and become so great and badass, some accepted it and became happy, and some were killed for it

when worlds collide
smau non!idol ningning x reader
17. anxiety.
âąââàšâĄà§âââąàŒ¶àŒ¶âąââàšâĄà§âââąàŒ¶àŒ¶âąââàšâĄà§âââą
"Are you going to fucking stare at me all day, or are you going to start speaking?"
Ah, thatâs what Aeri meant by "youâll know."
You start to clear your throat and formulate your thoughts. While you think, Giselle starts the conversation.
"Y/n and I arenât dating." Oh! Okay! I guess thatâs how weâre starting things.
"Ugh, Obviously. You two barely know each other?"
"Donât act like you knew already, Ning; werenât you the one who ran away crying?" That didnât take very long for the conversation to go south. You werenât going to let this meeting go to waste, so you tried to regain control of the conversation.
"Okay! Letâs just calm down a bit. How about we start off with a positive conversation? Iâll start. Ningning, Iâm sorry if you felt offended or betrayed in any way by me hanging out with Giselle. It wasnât my intention. There, now, does anyone else want to give it a try?" Both parties at the table remained silent. Ningning had an angry scowl, while Giselle was smiling brightly.
"Apology accepted? Is that what you want me to say? Listen, it doesnât matter what I think anyway; in a week weâll go back to being strangers. Unfortunately, Iâll be stuck with this obsessive stalker for life, but you and I, Y/N, wonât stay in contact." Ouch. It was obvious that you and Ningning didnât have the same social circle, and you definitely didnât plan on staying close to her after the presentation, but did she have to be so rude about it?
"You know, I am curious about one thing, though. How did someone like you end up in contact with someone like you?" She meant Giselle when referring to it, and you knew that. You gave Aeri an apologetic look, and she just returned a bright smile. I guess it didnât phase her; I mean, she has dealt with Ningning for years.
"I messaged her on Twitter. I felt like we had something in common and could be friends."
"In common? What being backstabbing bitches? Aw, the BB club, cute!"
"Nah, being framed for being buddy buddy with your boy toy."
"Okay! Things seem to be getting out of hand." Like usual, youâre cut off by Ninging.
"How dare you? Youâre still lying after all these years? When are you just going to own up to being a slut? Itâs getting pathetic. How many times do I have to tell you that Wonyoung told me what you did? Yeonjun even admitted to it."
"How many times do I have to tell you sheâs lying?"
"Give me one good reason Wonyoung would lie about that. Sheâs my best friend."
"So was I. So, why didnât you believe me?" The room was silent. Ningning's face softened, while Giselle's bright smile faded. You awkwardly cleared your throat and began to speak. Might as well get your thoughts out now before you get cut off again.
"I know you have no reason to trust Giselle or me. I get it. But what if we could prove it to you? Prove that Giselleâs innocent."
"And how do you plan on doing that?"
"Well, in this story, the only people involved are you, Giselle, Wonyoung, and Yeonjun. Weâve gotten 1/4 sides of the story. If you tell us your side of things, we'll already have half of the story together. If we can just get the other half, Iâm sure weâll be able to prove Giselle right."
"What does it matter if I tell you my perspective? It'll just be the same as Wony's since she told me about the cheating. Go ahead, chat it up with Wonyoung and Yeonjun. Why should I stop you? Why even tell me your plan in the first place?" Ningning began packing her things and signaled to her driver that she was ready to go.
Giselle rolled her eyes and responded.
"Ning, you know getting to Wonyoung isnât going to be easy. Weâll need your help. Please. Just tell us, what did Wonyoung tell you?"
âąââàšâĄà§âââąàŒ¶àŒ¶âąââàšâĄà§âââąàŒ¶àŒ¶âąââàšâĄà§âââą

The Hills Have Eyes
A Dieter Bravo Story
Dieter Bravo x f!bestfriend reader x oc wife
A/N: so idk why Dieter decided to infiltrate my dreams last night but am I complaining? NAH cause here comes yet another idea that is going to rot my brain away! Yâall are gonna have to be patient because I donât intend on having the first chapter out until July (the latest) also, face claim for Dieterâs wife is Aubrey Plaza. They give me bi panic, okay? đ° The plot is plotting for this one and honestly? Iâm so fricken excited (my other WIPS are not excited however)
Summary: Dieter Bravo has been your best friend since you were kids. He was your first kiss, first everything. He was your prom date and most definitely your first love. Dieter never grew the balls to officially ask you out. After graduating senior year of high-school together, Dieter dives head first into Hollywood. He lands a breakout role and heâs all that the tabloids can talk about. Years later youâre soon to be married to your long term boyfriend, until you catch him in bed with one of your own friends. Heartbroken and seeking comfort, you reach out to Dieter, who graciously invites you to his home tucked away in the Hollywood Hills. The second you see a ring on his finger, your heart sinks. Is everything all that it truly seems?
Warnings: angst, pining, heartbreak, typical Hollywood scandals, Dieter is in an open relationship with his wife, things get messy and complicated, drinking, drug use, paparazzi invading privacy, FWB, excessive partying, eventual smut, toxic relationship sprinkled in here and there, Dieter isnât unhappy in his marriage, he just feels like thereâs something missing, reader has never been exposed to the Hollywood lifestyle before, (+18) minors dni! I will add more warnings if necessary! My brain is blanking so Iâm sorry if I missed some!
Sneak Peek below the cut
âYouâre married?â Your heart sinks deep in the pit of your stomach when you see the shiny gold ring on Dieterâs ring finger. It shimmers in the light and he looks down at it like heâs never seen it before.
âOh, this? Uh, yeah. I am married.â He shrugs like itâs the most casual thing that he could possibly say. âDoes that surprise you, sweet cheeks? Donât fret. My wife and I are in an open relationship. You wouldnât believe the amount of Hollywood couples that are totally banging friends and strangers left and right. It happens way more often than you think.â He winked.
âWhere is your wife now?â
âMorocco? Spain? Dunno actually. Last I heard she was in Greece. We really only see each other for big events and shit like that.â
âIt doesnât bother you..or anything?â
âBother me? No, not at all my sweets. She does whatever she wants, with who she wants, when she wants. As long as it stays private. I do the same. Itâs a win win situation babe.âHe gingerly brought his arm around your shoulders, giving you a warm side hug as he gestured for you to follow him into his extravagant home. âEnough about me, my dear. Iâll make us some drinks, and you can tell me all about that no good rotten son of a bitch ex fiancĂ©e, and that backstabbing cunt of a friend. Extra dirty martinis makes everything better, baby. Trust me.â
This summer with your best friend, was about to get extra interesting.

what do u think of vinnies character trope page... someone had BEEF with him
I ACTUALLY LIKE HIS CHARACTER TROPE PAGE MORE THAN I LIKE HIS WIKIPEDIA. I feel like his wiki kinda ignores ALOT of stuff he did... this is literally my favorite part from his TV tropes HELP
I feel like it's pretty accurate tho don't u
ALTHOUGH THEY DEFINITELY SEEM TO HATE HIM A LOT SO ITS A LITTLE LIKW đđđ hey go easy on him... bc the habit TV tropes is literally just praising him for being cool like fuck you Vinnie is cool too did we NOT see this??
Also they didn't include it but Vinnie killed his gf too like !!!!!! I like that they didn't talk about him like he's some good guy hero because that's not what he his. He's a conniving backstabbing son of a bitch who will do ANYTHING to get what he wants so.... I feel like they're a little valid for their treatment of him HEEELPP. I'm a firm believer that if you hate Vinnie you have to hate habit too bc literally how can you excuse one but not the other theyre a package deal LMMAAOO
(edit bc I made this post super early and I was a little mean to Vinnie myself.... bc I love to bully him) SLENDERMAN WAS CONTROLLING HIM THO like for alot of it Vinnie is kinda used as a puppet for Slenderman, you see it in the tapes too. The haze like state Vinnie goes in is a trance that slenderman uses on him CONSISTENTLY. Channel Vinnie is stronger tho and he's more aware of what he's doing. He KNOWS what he did, and he knows HE did it. All Slenderman did was help him

for someone who "loves and cares about Jensen" you sure seem to be pretty resolved to believe he is a shitty person.
a douchebag who lies about loving his spouse, a deadbeat father who doesn't give a shit about leaving his kids with an abusive woman, as long as he gets to be far away from her and keep his reputation intact.
a fucking asshole who would leave his fiance at the altar instead of talking about it like a freaking adult before things go too far.
i just don't get it! how can you stan a man that you think is a liar and a backstabber?
you think so low of him, despite of all the testimonies of people who actually know him, who agree that he's a humble guy with both feet on earth, a sweet and kind man who genuinely cares about other people.
but you rather believe he's a piece of garbage who doesn't care about his own children.
just admit you don't really like him and move on.
God, anon, youâre like a dog with a bone. Yeah, I got your asksâtwice. You realize you are not entitled to my answer, right? No more than you are entitled to the anonymity of the asks (which I graciously allowed on for now).
But very well. Letâs talk, shall we? I really hope youâre ready for the answers. Because you wonât like them, I guarantee it.
First, I have never said heâs a âshitty personâ. You did though! Way to infer the worst from what I written.
I never called him a âdouchebagâ. You did. I never called him a âdeadbeatâ. You did. Letâs get that clear right now. You are the one calling him this. Not me.
Yes, he is in fact lying about the stories with his wife. I do think he did care about Danneel at one point, but that affection vanished real fast when her true character came out. Heâs staying with her for the kids; I imagine if he divorced her, people would call him a shitty person for ruining a marriage, etc. He wouldnât be able to win with you all. Not one bit.
He isnât leaving the kids alone with her though. Thereâs the housekeeper, gardener, more than likely one or two nannies (because Danneel has never parented alone, ever!). Theyâre safe as any child can be with that many adults. (And if theyâre decent people, if Danneel actually harmed them, NDA or no NDA, they had better speak up!)
I never said he shouldâve left Danneel at the alter with no explanation. The hell? Way to infer the worse without any reading comprehension. I did say he had cold feet and thought about not going through with it until his groomsman and his father talked him into it. (In the case of his father, essentially forced him to go through with it.)
I donât think heâs a liar. I do believe he backstabbed Jared in regards to The Winchesters and am very disappointed in him over it. But that isnât going to end my support for him.
As for his lying⊠I actually understand it. I donât agree with it, but I do understand it. He believes that having a âwholesome family man imageâ is good for him in Hollywood. Some would agreeâwere he actually consistent and legitimate with it. He doesnât even need to do a ton of outings with Danneel; just grab the kids and go to a local theme park. The local family park, for that matter. Hire a photographer to do candids, not posed pictures. Tell genuine stories at conventions, as the gaping holes in them are large enough to drive a semi through it.
As for having to constantly lie about Danneel⊠do you honestly think his stans would be okay with him calling a âbitchâ and âawful wifeâ? I mean⊠really? No matter what, heâd be in a no-win situation there.
I donât think low of him. You inferred that, once again. Instead of making it about Danneelâwhich every single damned post of mine has been aboutâyou are making it about me and how you perceived/interpreted my writing to be.
In regards to the situation of his children, heâs actually in a rock and a hard place. If you think itâs that easy for a victim of abuse to divorce their abuser when children are involved, you are ridiculously ignorant and need to educate yourself. The worst time in an abuse situation is when the victim tries to leaveâthe risk of death jumps to 70%. If children are involved, murder-suicides can happen.
So sit the fuck down, quit misinterpreting what Iâm saying, and stop thinking you are in any shape or form entitled to my answers.
#anti danneel#anti elta#jensen concern#jensen supportive#reading comprehension where?#no critical thinking#yes Iâm a bitch

Dead Men x M/n - Angry kids (Part 5 of Dead Men meet M/n)
WARNING!: Blood x Gore, Violence, Serpine will die, a bit graphic, death, cursing AND MORE ! YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED !!!
The names are all pronounced this !: Keiran(M/n) â Keer- in or Keer-awn Laoise â Lah-weese Lorcan â Lor-ken
Part 5 â Angry kids
Stephanie was at Chinaâs, worried sick for Skulduggery. Serpine ambushed them and took out the Detective, while he tried to kill her. China knew her name and used it against her, to keep her in the library. She should have called Keiran.
China was out right now and Stephanie broke down the door to her private room, snatching back her phone...if she could...reach out to Keiran ?
She activated her phone and dialed his number quickly. He picked up instantly.
âKeiran Fox.â
âKeiran, help, please. China knows my Given name and she is keeping me hostage in her Library. I called her in a panic. Skulduggery and I got ambushed in Grimwood, by Serpine and his paper pals. He captured Skulduggery too.â, she quickly informed.
It was dead silent on the other end.
âLorcan...Laoise...get your weapons and magic ready. We are going to beat some Serpine ass and get the Mortal girl out of Chinaâs clutches.â, Keiran said with a dark voice.
âOn it !â, Lorcan yelled and Laoise was slightly to hear too.
âSit tight, think of a name and we will pick you up ! Lorcan will tell the rest of the adults and we will get ready. We have to inform Meritorius and then get Skul as fast as possible !â
âWhat if he is already dead ?â, Stephanie asked worried.
âSerpine thinks Skulduggery has the key. As long as he doesnât have it, he wonât kill him.â, Keiran assured.
After that they hung up and Stephanie found her name, ten minutes, before Keiran broke the doors down, to collect her. China wasnât happy and tried to force Stephanie to stay. But she didnât listen anymore.
âSo you have taken a name. May I know who you are now ?â, she asked the girl.
âValkyrie. Valkyrie Cain.â
âFuck you, China Sorrows. If Uncle Skulduggery is dead, because of your ugly ass, I will personally set this place on fire and kill you.â, Keiran growled out darkly.
âNow, now. Donât be so dramatic.â, she scolded.
âThat man has a FAMILY, you BITCH !â, Keiran screamed at her and charged at her with a dagger.
China tried to use her sigils on Keiran, but noticed too late, that they donât work on him. He cut into her arm and she hissed. He charged again and cut at her right eye, giving her a nice scar, she hissed again in pain. She tried her sigils again, but nothing worked.
âWHORE ! JEALOUS BITCH ! SELFISH BIMBO ! DISGUSTING MURDERER ! TRASH ! WALKING GARBAGE CAN !â, he screamed at her as he charged and charged at her again, giving her cuts.
Keiran stabbed her into her abdomen and she fell on the floor. She was far from dead though.
âKEIRAN ! STOP !â, Lorcan yelled.
Keiran froze in place and looked at Skulduggeryâs Son.
âWe donât have time, for that backstabbing Bitch ! Father is more important !â, Lorcan yelled.
He looked at China again.
âRemember well who saved your pathetic life, Bitch. Next time, I wonât be so merciful.â, Keiran spat and left, sheathing his dagger again.
Valkyrie stared at Keiran in shock.
âI hate that traitorous whore so much. Why we let her live, will be a mystery to me...â, Keiran scoffed.
With that they left and hurried to Meritorius. As soon as he heard that Serpine was accused again, he denied it, refused to believe them.
âListen to me RIGHT now, Meritorius !â, Keiran yelled at him, angered.
Meritorius stared at him.
âYou do not talk to your elders like that-â
âI donât give a flying FUCK what you want ! Skulduggery is MISSING, most possibly DEAD already and you expect ME to be CALM ?! YOU expect someone like SERPINE to keep a TRUCE, for the rest of his LIFE ?! I think your old age made you forget what a person Serpine is ! He is a fucking PSYCHO, STALKER, MURDERER, FACELESS GODS LOVER and PURE EVIL ! He stalked Skulduggeryâs Family since the TRUCE started ! He killed behind your back ! He was about to KILL Valkyrie THREE times now, which mind you, YOU wanted to go back to her NORMAL life too ! That could have KILLED her ! He took Skulduggery now and it is HIS life on the line ! Sorry that I told you from the BEGINNING that a TRUCE WONâT cut it ! But now get your old ass up and GIVE ME PERMISSION TO KILL HIM AND GET MY UNCLE BACK ! HE HAS FAMILY FOR FUCKS SAKE !â, Keiran screamed at Meritorius pissed royally off.
Everyone stared at him. No speaking mistake and there was a very dangerous fire in his eyes. Meritorius knew better than to argue with him any further. He will have to give in.
âIf you drag us into a war, Keiran, so help me the Ancients.â
âThe war started a long time ago, again, already. Your old ass just refused to see it. We are in the MIDDLE of it and YOU still sit here and do nothing but sit in your own Dream World.â, Keiran scoffed.
Then he stormed off and waited for the help, he knew they needed.
The Dead Men, Lorcan, Laoise, Valkyrie and Meritorius looked at him in utter shock and respect. Keiran wasnât messing around and when he is pissed off and worried sick about his Family, he will get violent. Both, physically and verbally.
After a few minutes two Cleavers arrived. Meritorius arrived with the rest and Keiran scoffed.
âIs that all you will give us ? Damn, you WANT us to die.â, he accused the Grand Mage.
âWe have no more, that we can give you.â
âSure and I am the Easter Bunny. Whatever. Get rid of Sagacious Tome. He is a spy for Serpine. I spotted him a few times enter an alleyway and Serpine left it minutes later. Donât trust him, no matter what he says. Serpine wants the book of Names and he is looking for something that can kill you. If you die, the book is unprotected.â, Keiran explained annoyed.
They were all in shock, but didnât question it. They soon enough met Tanith, Valkyrie stated that she met her once already and that she was nice, and so Keiran allowed her to tag along. After everyone, besides Anton and Meritorius, jumped into Ghastlyâs Van, did Meritorius talk.
âYour Son really is violent.â, he told the Gist Master.
âI know...â
âBut...he is only violent, when he is worried sick about one of you. Be careful with one another. He seems...protective and territorial of you all.â
âWe will try our best.â
âGood. Now go rescue Skulduggery.â
Anton nodded and jumped into the Van and Ghastly sped off. It didnât take them long to arrive there and Keiran wasted no time into getting out and getting ready for kill or be killed mode. Lorcan did the same and Laoise copied her Cousin and Brother.
Tanith sent the Cleavers to distract the Hollow Ones and then they ran for the wall. Hopeless, Ghastly, Lorcan, Laoise, Erskine and Keiran made it over the wall easily. Ghastly helped Anton and Saracen with a small boost of his Magic, while Keiran helped Larrikin over it and Lorcan helped Dexter Vex over the wall. Tanith helped Valkyrie over the wall.
Together they ran into the castle of Serpineâs and started a wild search in a Team of two. Lorcan and Keiran found Skulduggery and he looked in bad shape. That, made Lorcan, go into rage mode.
âOh, hello you two.â, Skulduggery greeted them weakly.
âWhat the fuck did that Bastard do to you ?â, Keiran growled out.
âOh, just some torture with his red hand.â, he chuckled out weakly.
Lorcan and Keiran saw red at that. The others all came rushing in and Ghastly tried to crack open the handcuffs. After that was done, Saracen and Hopeless helped Skulduggery to get up and walk.
The rest of the Team tried to keep the way free, only to realize way too late that three members were missing, after they fled. Laoise, Lorcan and Keiran.
âWait...where are Lorcan, Laoise and Keiran ?!â, Anton asked in panic, after they were in the Van.
âShit !â, Ghastly cursed.
âWe have to go back.â, Skulduggery said weakly.
âYOU need medical attention ! This is serious and urgent !â, Hopeless scolded.
âThe kids !â, Skulduggery protested.
âThey know what they are doing. We have to get you to Kenspeckle.â
âThey are going after Serpine.â, Valkyrie whispered.
Everyone was silent.
âWhat ?â, Dexter asked in shock.
âDidnât you see the murderous glares Keiran and Lorcan had ? They probably told Laoise, because she had the same murderous look later on. They are going after Serpine, to make him pay for what he did to Skulduggery.â, she explained.
âFuck. We have to go back !â, Saracen yelled.
âIf we go back now, Skulduggery will die.â, Larrikin argued back.
âLetâs hope these three are careful. We have to get Skul into medical care and that fast.â, Ghastly said worried.
Anton sat in the car, worried sick for his Son, Nephew and Niece. They were all worried, but Anton was the most worried with Skulduggery. Their childrenâs lives were on the line.
-With Keiran, Lorcan and Laoise-
They followed Serpine, ready to kill instantly. They had the perfect torture session planned out for Nefarian Serpine. One that he will beg to be over fast.
As soon as Serpine was alone inside a room, Lorcan locked it and Keiran knocked him out cold. Then they dragged Nefarian away from populated areas and into a deep forest. All they did was set up some cameras and then waited for the Bastard to wake up.
-With the Dead Men-
They reached the Cinema and rushed Skulduggery inside.
âKenspeckle ?! Kenspeckle we need your help, urgently !â, Ghastly called as soon as they were in the soundproof hideout of the Professorâs.
Kenspeckle arrived after a few seconds, with his two assistants, Stentor and Civet. The older manâs eyes widened as he saw Skulduggery.
âWhat in the ever loving hell happened to him ?â, the Professor asked.
âSerpine.â, Saracen answered.
Kenspeckleâs face turned grim and he instantly led them to an operation room.
âPut him on the bed and then leave. This is urgent.â, he told the Dead Men.
Valkyrie was scared for Skulduggery. What if he wonât make it ? The left the room quickly and stayed seated in the waiting room.
âShouldnât we search Lorcan, Laoise and Keiran ?â, Valkyrie asked worried.
âWe donât know where they are right now. It would be like hunting a needle in hay.â, Dexter replied softly.
Anton just sat there, eyes unfocused. He was worried sick.
Ghastly put a hand on the Hotelierâs shoulder, which made him snap out of his thoughts.
âDonât worry, Anton. I bet they are okay.â, the tailor told him with a soft smile.
âI hope so...â, Anton replied.
Hopeless, Larrikin, Saracen and Valkyrie had a grim face. They hoped so too, for Antonâs and Skulduggeryâs sanityâs sake.
-With the kids-
Serpine woke up finally. The children already had sinister grins on their faces and Laoise started the cameras.
âW-what happened...?â, Serpine groaned and rubbed his head.
They agreed that Lorcan can break Serpineâs bones, Laoise can stab him anywhere she wanted and Keiran will cut off the hand.
âWell, well, well~ Awake at last, arenât we~?â, Keiran purred darkly.
Serpine stiffened up, eyes wide in horror.
He quickly turned around, right hand stretched out to instantly kill, but Keiran saw that coming and grabbed the outstretched arm, then pressed it to the floor, making Serpine hiss in pain.
Before Nefarian could make Keiran let go of his hand, by causing him pain, he screamed in agony already. Keiranâs dagger came crashing down and made quick work of cutting through the bone of Serpineâs red hand, severing it from his body.
Keiran smirked darkly at Serpine, who looked at him with tears in his eyes.
âYou disgusting piece of trash, hurt and tormented my Family for long enough. Itâs time to end it, donât you think ? I told you, you lay your hands on my Family, you will regret your existence.â, Keiran said darkly.
Then he got up and picked up the cut off red hand. Just then did Serpine see Lorcan and Laoise, Skulduggeryâs children. They didnât look very happy.
âOh, we will have fun, wonât we, Serpine~?â, Lorcan asked darkly, a dark promising smile on his face.
Laoise giggled darkly and gave Serpine also a dark, promising look.
âN-now, now ! We can talk about this, kids !â, Serpine tried to convince.
âYeah, no. You bothered us for way too long. You broke the truce. You HURT my Father. You tried to kill us. You tried to kill Keiran and now you want to TALK ABOUT EVERYTHING ?! Fuck you, Nefarian Serpine.â, Lorcan snarled.
With that Lorcan lifted the sledge hammer and let it slam onto Serpineâs right leg, making a satisfying loud cracking sound. Serpine screamed in pain, while Lorcan continued to break his bones to pieces.
âWhen we are done with you, you wish you were never born.â, Keiran promised Nefarian darkly.
Serpine was scared. He never saw them this pissed off, nor did he ever had to feel this threatened before. He didnât want to die...
-With the Dead Men-
Kenspeckle came out of the room and everyone looked at him. The older man sighed.
âHe will be fine soon. Give him a few hours and he can leave. He had a few cracked bones and open wounds on his torso.â, Kenspeckle informed.
âOh thank the Ancients ! He will be fine.â, Larrikin said in relief.
âIf you would have came two seconds later, one of his ribs could have broken apart and stabbed him in the heart, so good instincts to bring him to me.â
Everyone grew pale at that information.
âHoly shit...â, Ghastly muttered.
Kenspeckle looked around and then was confused.
âWhere are the kids ? Usually they are always with you.â, the Professor asked.
âThey went after Serpine without our knowledge. But we had to choose. Either Skulduggery or them. They can handle themselves and we would have searched for them, if we knew where they are.â, Dexter explained.
Kenspeckle stared at them then sighed and muttered under his breath.
âI hope for you all, that you wonât regret your choice.â
With that he left them alone.
-With the trio-
Serpine just took his last breath and the three kids pouted.
âOh, our toy is already broken...â, Lorcan pouted.
âSuch a shame.â, Keiran said as he looked at the bleeding messy pile, that used to be Serpine.
âWhat do we do with the body ?â, Laoise asked.
âBurn it. We give Uncle Skulduggery the hand as present. I bet he wants to burn it himself.â, Keiran answered.
Lorcan turned off the cameras and brought them to Keiran.
âWhat about the recordings ?â, he asked his Cousin.
âI am making a quick Movie out of it. A great memory for life. We killed a bastard that hurt Family. A warning for future foes too.â
âI like your idea.â
âYou always do.â
With that Keiran took the Cameras and started to make a small movie out of it, while Lorcan and Laoise collected wood, to burn the body.
-Time skip with the Dead Men-
Ghastly was pacing around, just like Anton. Anton paced because his worries got to him, about his Son. Ghastly paced because of Skulduggeryâs kids, Keiran and impatience. He wanted to see his friend.
Soon enough Kenspeckle came out of Skulduggeryâs room and looked at them.
âYou can go in now. He is responsive and well rested.â
Instantly they all rushed inside and saw Skulduggery sitting up in his bed, slightly hunched over, but he was sitting. He looked at his friends and Valkyrie and waved, with a smile. It looked stronger and more healthy, than the last one he gave them.
âHello you all.â, he joked.
Ghastly shook his head and hugged Skulduggery.
âIdiot. How are you feeling ?â, the tailor asked.
Skulduggery hugged him back and huffed out a small laugh.
âI am doing just fine. A bit healing still, but I am feeling ready to beat some ass again.â
âThe kids are still not back yet, Skulduggery.â, Anton informed the man, worried sick.
Skulduggery looked at Anton and frowned, worried too.
âLetâs hope they are fine. As much as I would love to chase them down now, I canât. I am still recovering. Serpine did more damage, than I thought.â, the Detective replied.
Suddenly the doors swung open and everyone looked in the direction of the swung open doors. Their eyes widened as they spotted Lorcan, Laoise and Keiran, covered in blood, but they looked smug and satisfied with themselves.
âKids ! Are you alright ?!â, Dexter asked in worry.
âWe are just fine, Uncle Dex !â, Lorcan replied, energetic and smug.
Keiran and Laoise nodded, big grins on their faces. The Dead Men, Tanith and Valkyrie grew concerned.
âWhat did you do ?! Why are you covered in blood ?!â, Anton yelled in worry.
âIt isnât ours, Papa.â, Keiran replied still smug.
âThen...whose is it ?â, Ghastly asked.
âSerpineâs.â, the three replied happily.
The Dead Men and two girls stared at the trio in shock.
âWHAT ?!â, they all screamed in shock at the kids, who were still smug.

A journey towards redemption
Jillâs unsuccessful moment in becoming the new final girl has resulted in her death. Now offered a second chance, she must face her demons and earn her freedom at a chance of a new life.
Born again (October 11th 2011 12:30 AM)
Dewey rubbed the bump on his head as he went to go check on Gale âShe was standing right behind me.â
âThey always areâ was the last thing Jill heard before being shot clean in the chest.
âNo, No! Not like thisâŠ.how did she even hear me? Th-this canât be how it ends? I was so close!â
Jill felt her eyes getting heavy and her breathing slowly weakened as she collapsed into complete darkness. ïżŒ
Sidney checked Jillâs pulse, making sure she was dead âWell I guess thatâs it then. What do you want to do with her Sid?â Dewey said.
(Jillâs pov) I felt some cold droplets land on my face, waking me up from my sleep. âHuh? Ok thatâs weirdâŠI got shot in the chest âprobably where my heart isâ and Iâm still alive all of a sudden?â Then I remembered. âOh Thatâs right! Ghostface armor. Sidney didnât shoot me in the head. Pretty stupid on her part, I thought she learned her lesson after the last five she fought. Canât believe she made it this far.
âOh whatever all I can say is, she better sleep with one eye open once I get out of this hospital. Iâm gonna kill her then finish off Gale and her stupid husband.â I notice that the hospital is very dark and quiet. Hmph! Seems like they left me here but damn could they at least keep the lights on! I canât even see two feet in front of me!
Shit. I need to hurry and get out of here. Dewey and Judy must have left to go get backup, why both left instead of one staying here is just beyond me. âEveryone is pretty much a moron in this townâŠ.where the hell is the light switch?!â
I groped the wall, feeling around for the switch until I hit a spot on the wall that lit up the room a bit. âFinally! Ok time to move Jill.â As my eyes adjusted to the light, I almost passed out again when I found out I wasnât in the hospital
âWhatâŠâŠtheâŠâŠFUCK?! What is this? I seriously have no other words for- ok I need to find the exit.â I walk around trying to find something that resembles a door and as I did, the floor started to make noise when you walk into a puddle.
I hate to do this but âHello? DeweyâŠ..Gale? Anybody?!â I said, looking around.
Still looking for the door, I call out a few more times but still no answers. Iâm starting to get really freaked out here âOk guys stop it! Enough with the silent treatment, just arrest me and be done with it. Sick fuckers, just show yourself! Do you hear me!!!! Look I surrender ok! There I said it...I SURRENDER!!!â I held out my hands, hoping someone would show up and put handcuffs on me.
(????? Later)
youtube
(Plays along with the dialogue)
I donât even know how much time has passed but i think Iâm stuck here for a while, canât find a door and itâs this same picture everywhere I walk. Thereâs nothing here, nothing!
Feeling defeated, I sat down and hugged my knees, burying my face in them. I close my eyes but every time I did, Iâm reminding of the things Iâve done.
âI started to feel sick for putting on the mask and killing my friends, my mother just to replicate a stupid movie my spoiled bitch cousin somehow got famous for andâŠ.Charlie. The one who answered my request, carrying me to the finish line only for me to backstab him just to take all the credit.
I guess I know what it feels like to be truly alone now. Instead of just taking a step back and ignoring Sidney, enjoying the last year of my high school along with slapping some sense into Trevor, I end up shot and left for dead in this dark desolate place.
Even though Sidney and her friends survived, I doubt they want anything to do with meâŠthen again itâs the same group that left me here to die. I deserve it though, I donât need forgiveness from them or for anyone I hurt.
I look around for a bit âCome to think of it, where is Charlie? Is this hell or am I somewhere worse than that?â I felt my stomach rumble, great! Ever since I been planning that movie with Charlie, I havenât had time to eat or drink anything.
âWell since thereâs no food here, I guess Iâll just starve to death and end up back here again. Another thing to add to my everlasting punishmentâ
I shook my head and tried to find something âedibleâ or even close to that. As I touched the wall, my hand broke through âfeels like water again, and not just the floor this time.â
I heard whispers behind me in the distance, causing me to whip my head around âSidney? That you?â
The voice whispered again a bit louder, aside from all the mumbling I only made out a few words âMurdererâ âLiarâ âspoiledâ âcruelâ âwaste of spaceâ I rolled my eyes
âHey I get it. Shut the fuck up already!â Then the voice turned into a high pitched screech which was enough for me to cover my ears and sprint out of there. As I was running, I felt a pair of hands shove me to the ground.
I picked myself
up to find my mother standing over me with the bloody knife and an evil grin
âWelcome home sweetie.â She said before being stabbed then gutted from behind byâŠ.Charlie! I stepped back a bit
âMOM!â Charlie turned in my direction and charged at me with the knife raised, luckily I found a gun on the floor at the last minute and shot him.
The gun disappears from my hand and so does Charlie. Unfortunately the voices didnât and continued to whisper in my ears. âSighâ âJust shut up already! Jesus!â Then I felt a hand on my shoulder but I quickly shoved it away
âWhoa! Hey, take it easy cousin, itâs me.â
âS-Sidney?â I said not turning around.
Then I heard a scoff âOh real mature! Do I sound like I have a feminine voice? Well except for my employers, such assholes they are.â
I rolled my eyes âOk fine, you donât have a girls voice but if youâre not Sidney then who are you?â
The person turned me around ïżŒ
âHello Jillâ
(3rd pov)
Jill took a glance at the man who removed the ghostface mask âUm Iâm going to ask againâŠwho the hell are you? Another shitty ghostface killer?
Roman glared at his cousin in offense âFirst of all I am NOT shitty! Second, yes I was one of the Ghostface killers and a damn good one too. Unlike you kids who needed a partner to fall back on, I did all my work solo.
Also you got some nerve to be disrespecting me when all you did was sit on the sideline letting your boyfriend do all the work, then killing him as payment. What a disgrace to the mask.
âDumbass! Thereâs always two killers, one makes the calls while the other sneaks in and goes for the kill. Thats how itâs always been with Ghostface.
Roman laughed, shaking his head âNo sweetheart. Both killers shared the work 50/50. You didnât even help Charlie most of the time. He carried you the whole way and you still lost.â
Jill rolled her eyes âOk so what? At least I was smart enough to manipulate someone into doing my own bidding and disposing of him when I didnât need him anymore. How dirty did you have to get your hands before you bit the dust?â
She then continued âI got my moment In the spotlight and would have gotten away with it because Iâm hot and charismatic.â
Roman tossed the mask on the ground âIâm both of those things too and even so, did you really think you could successfully replicate Billy and Stuâs work while covering it up as the final girl/my sister? Your plan would have failed regardless from all the things your prints were on.â
Jill was stunned âsister?!â She studied him again and noticed his features looked a lot like Sidneyâs. âIf heâs Sidneyâs brother that that means
âYou-your Roman bridger.â
âThe one and onlyâ he said.
Jill nodded âOk âRomanâ since youâre the only one here. Do you mind telling me where I am and if I could get of out of here?â
Roman clicked his tongue âSorry cousinâŠyou see, youâre actually dead. Sidney shot you In the heart and your stuck down here in this void forever. Well-â
Jill freaked out, grabbing Roman by his shoulders and shook him âWhat?! No?! No this isnât happening, this is not happening!â She started to sweat a lot and her breathing was becoming rapid. âYou got to help me. Please help me!â
âJILL! Calm down and let me finish! Take a deep breath and have some dignityâ
Jill managed to calm herself and took a few deep breaths before sitting criss crossed, eager of what Roman had to say.
(Romanâs pov) Alright, now that my psychotic child minded cousin has calmed down, time for me to do my job. âHere. Let me feel your forehead.â
Jill moved back as I extended my hand to her âWhy? I donât have a fever-â
âJust do itâ I said.ïżŒ
âAlright alrightâŠ.weirdoâ Jill said but I ignored her comment and absorbed her thoughts with a touch of her forehead.
Jill kept here eyes closed but winced a little when she heard a whoosh đš Keeping my hand on Jillâs forehead, I see her deep thoughts and what really drove her to become Ghostface. âMhm, just as I thought.â
âWhat?â Jill said, opening her eyes.
âYour thoughts, your regrets, Ghostface, I can read all of it. Actually I can SEE all of It.â
Jill stood up âIâm not sure if I believe that or weirded out by what you said. Actually Iâll go with both.â
Roman chuckled âThe point is, I know how you REALLY feel. You never wanted to be Ghostface or enjoy your little âfameâ that came with it.â
Jill opened her mouth but Roman shook his head âJillâŠ.you hate yourself, you hate yourself for what youâve done. You hate that my sisterâs favoritism pushed you off to the side from your friends and mother.â
Roman tilted Jillâs chin up towards him âYou hate that itâs eating you up inside and all you could do was let it.â
âRomanâŠ.I didnât feel that way in the beginning. Why are you just telling me this now? What gave you this idea now?â
âYou started to feel regret when your failed movie idea cost you everything. Your friends, Kate RobertsâŠ..Trevorâ Roman smirked at the last name.
Jill didnât respond, instead she turned away.
âYou canât lie to yourself Jill. You miss them a lot and as for Trevor, seems like you still have feelings for him.â
Jill still didnât respond.
âJillâŠ.talk to me, weâre cousins and I want to help you with the little time I have leftâ
(Jillâs pov) ïżŒ
Hearing that, had me turn around. I took a deep breath âitâs trueâŠ.everything you said is true, especially with Trevor.â I swallowed a lump âBut itâs so weird because he cheated on me yet these feeling for Trevor never went away.â
I shook my head âI guess that fucker still left an imprint on me.â
I felt a few tears coming on âKirby and Olivia were there for me when that happened and my mom took us to go see that movie I was begging her to watch.
Even before Trevor, theyâve all done so much for me even if I didnât give them anything in return.â
Roman reached his hand out âJill.â
I pushed his hand aside âNo Roman, donât!
Then the floodgates opened âI get it. I should have never been Ghostface, I had no real reason to. God I had it all! I had friends, a loving mother who even though kept taking about Sidney, she made sure I never miss a mealâŠshe kept me in a warm home too.â
Then came the voice cracks âThe moment I put on the mask, I have destroyed, ruined, and killed everything I had and lovedâŠ..I have nothing now.â
(3rd pov)
Roman looked down at his cousin who now had her face buried into her hands, sobbing. He looked up for a moment
âWhat if I told you there was a way you could redeem yourself?â
Jill looked up âWhat? What do you mean?â She asked, rubbing her eyes.
Roman smiled âWhat I can offer you my dear cousin is a do-over. It will reverse everything thatâs happened on the month of the murders. You will start from when you woke up in your bed, waiting for your friend to take you to school.â
Jill looked confused âGoing back in time? Is that even possible?â
âDown hereâŠ..anything is possible Jill.â
Jill wiped the last of her tears away âOk. If itâs possibleâŠ.then Iâll do it, thank you. I wonât be Ghostface ever again and Iâll do whatever it takes to stop Charle, you can count on it.â
Roman fixed his robe up a bit âI hope you can. This is very dangerous and a huge risk. If Charlie kills you or you fail to stop the murder spree, you will die and this time wake up in a place 10x worse than hell and here.â
Jill felt her blood run cold but kept a calm posture
âOkâŠ.i understand. I have to earn my redemption.â
(Romanâs pov)
I moved back a bit and snapped my fingers, which made a big mirror appear in front of us.
âYes. This looks like an ordinary mirror but itâs actually a portal. In order for this to work, you need to find all the lost souls in this realm and send them back through this mirror, theyâll be able to go through it.â
âWait what? Lost souls, Roman what are you-?â
âIâm talking about the victims you and your partner murdered. Because of your desperate need for unnecessary fame, their souls ended up here.â
Jill was taken back âB-but I thought they went to heaven!â
I pinched my forehead a bit âUnfortunately it doesnât work that way Jill, it wasnât even their time to go. You both ended up cutting their lives so short that they ended up here.â
(Jillâs pov)
I felt a pain in my stomach when I heard that. Damn, I didnât know my victims got sent here. But I wasnât really thinking about the consequences was I?
âOk so the victims are all here and itâs my job to lead them back here?â
Roman nodded âOnce you find all the lost souls, you can go through this portal yourself and the do-over will begin. You will be resurrecting the people you killed in the past as well, probably should have made that more clear but donât forget that also includesâŠ..ugh, Charlie.â
I nod âNo one except you will remember everything thatâs happened but you must do your best to keep them safe.â Roman said.
âOk, Iâll do whatever it takes to keep my friends and mother safe.â
Roman reached into his pocket the robe had and pulled out a flashlight. âItâs going to be dark out there, this will help you see what you couldnât see before with your own eyes.â
I thanked Roman and took the flashlight. I turned it on to find a huge dark hallway that seemed endless in the distance. I was about to be on my way until I heard Romanâs voice call out
âWait! I do have one more thing to tell you. Tread carefully on your path because
You are not alone down here.
To be continued
Music goes to Emil âAceâ Macko.

AITA for getting two of my classmates killed?
Okay, okay, I know the title sounds bad but hear me out first.
So we're in this (involuntary) death game, right, long story. Basically the goal is to get away with murder but if you get caught, you get horrifically executed. Fun stuff.
Anyway, so this whole situation kinda takes a toll on me, but I keep it lowkey. Well, actually, my strategy was to act like I'm really enjoying this whole game, get chummy with the game master and stuff like that. I was apparently very convincing, even though I kept dropping hints that I'm not having a good time. So everyone was convinced pretty early on that I'm some psycho who gets pleasure out of watching people suffer, which admittedly I can't fully blame them for. But they were literally convinced I was satan incarnated before I ever did some heinous stuff just because I wasn't very nice and friendly and didn't want to pretend like we can just friendship-is-magic our way out of this. They literally got upset at me for freely speaking about the death of our classmates and trying to warn this sweet naive fucking idiot about being too trusting and the consequences of cooperating under these circumstances. No, I was not nice about it. But like, get real. They just didn't want to face the reality of the situation and that's fucking dangerous.
Anywayyyy, time passes, people get killed, everyones on edge and depressed and shit. Despite what I just said, I didn't actually believe that we all shouldn't cooperate under any circumstances. I just thought we shouldn't do it so openly. So there were two people I mainly cooperated with, let's call them G and M.
G is the aforementioned sweet naive idiot, he also happens to be an absolute mountain of a man. I saw potential in him, I knew he wasn't actually that dumb, he was just, naive and trusting and he really really wanted to protect people. I thought that was a dangerous combination. So I took him under my wing and we did spend a lot of time together.
M is... well, she's a dumb fucking bitch. Obnoxious as hell. But she's also pretty brilliant in making stuff. Like, inventions I mean. VERY USEFUL. We didn't get along much, but I knew how to handle her and we ended up collaborating on several creations and gadgets.
It was really powerful stuff, y'know? I was sure we could use these to take down the game master. I said as much to her. But she... was unsure. Actually, I guess it would be more accurate to say that she was scared, if not terrified. She didn't believe that we could win this way because she thought our classmates would definitely betray us! Can't blame her for thinking that, I guess. It was still pretty discouraging. It would've been fine if the issue had ended here, probably.
But then... long story short, I found out that she was trying to kill me. :')
I would've laughed but it really wasn't that funny, was it. I thought we had at least a truce, you backstabbing fucking bitch. Haha.
I couldn't let this happen. Of course I didn't want to die, but I did also think that if I die here, everyone else will also die. Even if she didn't get away with it, which is debatable because there would've only been about 1.5 competent people left alive to figure it out, I had plans to properly end this game. I couldn't die here.
I had to eliminate her first. She was simply too big of a threat. Not only was she actively planning to murder me, after we've literally created another possibility, she was also emotionally very unstable. It was too risky to solve this another way. Even if we had managed to pacify her now, she was still the biggest risk factor.
I had probably squeezed out all the valuable uses out of her anyway at that point, hah.
So yeah, I decided to strike her down before she could strike me down. But I didn't want to risk either getting everyone killed (because obviously I could've planned a murder I could get away with, duh) or getting executed myself. That would kinda be against the point of ending this game with more than 2 people left alive.
G had grown very depressed over the course of the game. He's always had a tendency to self deprecate and he's been offering himself as a meat shild since the very beginning but especially lately. So I thought I would be so kind and take him up on his offer :)
You guys don't know just how much he's been begging to be used, be useful, protect someone. Literally.
I planned the murder. I manipulated G, convincing him that this was the way to save everyone and he executed my orders. He killed her. I didn't have to get my own hands dirty. He even bought in his own ideas to cover up the murder scene!
The only information I hid from him was that I never planned to let him get away with this. He still chose to kill her, yknow? I didn't force him to do it. I did push his buttons. I knew he would do it if I just said the right words. But if I hadn't manipulated him like this, someone else eventually would've. And he would've done it for them too. Maybe it was always gonna happen!
Anyway, G got executed. Despite some hiccups during the trials, we unraveled the murder and well. He's dead now. My classmates are very upset with me hahahaha :')
But I didn't have a choice. What was supposed to do? Is it wrong of me for wanting to live? For thinking about the situation realistically? For thinking I was more necessary to end this game than either of them?
Edit: I've usurped the game master. Surely me officially ending this game will prevent people from murdering any more. :)
#kokichi ouma#kokichi oma#ouma kokichi#kitschpolls#drv3 spoilers#drv3#danganronpa v3#gonta gokuhara#miu iruma#lol this was not supposed to get this long but. oh well#obviously this is my interpretation of his actions mixed with my interpretation of him trying to cope with his actions#so yes this is unreliable narration#if u respond to this with a comment or reblog or tag pls play along#pretend ur seeing this as a reddit post and this is all the context u have for the situation#i just thought this would be fun
