#doesnt even give hajime a chance to give him anything. if he wanted to.

[spinecurlingmice]

okay more on hajime's underwear. . in a world where all the fte's are canon for everybody and not just a gameplay thing, do you think everybody on the island made it like. a bet or something. every single person he's became close with on this fucking island gave him their panties as a token of closeness, so like are they waiting for him to reciprocate?? the one person he gives his underwear to is like. the Chosen hajime person and they get to gloat ? do they ask.

[ozfi]

anyway, my hot kenzaki take is that a lot of people misunderstand him pretty fundamentally, and its all in the specification of him "sacrificing everything for his friends". cuz .. i mean. he doesnt.

so kenzakis story starts age 10, when his parents die in the house fire. regardless of ""realism"" or the immediate kneejerk reaction people have of "you were 10", kenzaki takes the fact he could not personally protect the people he loves hard, and then is isolated for the next decade. inshow, he says koutaro is his first friend. not his newest, not his most recent, not his first in a long time. koutaro is his FIRST FRIEND. tachibana is his senpai and he made no friends at board. hirose doesnt become his friend until after koutaro does. tsubaki himself confirms in the final episode interview that "Kenzaki was in a situation where he had no friends, lost his parents, and was all alone." no matter where he went after he lost his parents, he was alone.

its not to say kenzaki doesnt care about people, or humanity, or whatever, even as a chronic loner. because he clearly does! he loves people. he chose protecting people as a job because he didnt ever want to feel powerless again, he wanted to help others, he doesnt want people to die. these are all noble reasons, but its evident there is a hierarchy in his heart and it becomes clear when he gets attached to hajime! kenzakis biggest problems are about Protecting The Ones He Loves, specifically. HIS people. his parents were what started it all, and he didnt get attached to anything to that significant of a degree again until he fell in love with hajime. and. i mean its obvious

i cannot stress enough that the moment kenzaki decided he believed in hajime he stopped listening to literally anyone elses advice about their situation. his senpai tachibana expressing concern about a real danger? hes not only fine, but if anything happens, i am the one who will handle it. koutaro not trusting hajime around his family because of the chance he Killed Haruka's Husband? but i believe in him, there must be a reason. mutsuki being concerned? well hes mutsuki. sorry mukki. anyone else? no, its fine, i trust him.

Kenzaki believed in the possibility of a sliver of a sliver of a chance, and he risked everything and everyone else he ever knew and loved for it. Kenzaki let the darkroaches rage on Japan for WAY TOO LONG just because of his belief in a miracle for one single person. Tachibana was injured, Mutsuki was in the hospital, and literally every single other one of his acquaintances was in mortal peril. It would have killed all of them if he did nothing, but instead of the single most logical action, and the only path to the end anyone else could see, Kenzaki gave up his humanity to keep Hajime alive!

Above the world, Kenzaki will choose the one he loves.

this is part of how kenzaki and hajime are mirrors - hajime never had the opportunity to make friends, because he was bugmode/not really a "person" up until a little while ago (and even then, chalice had a friend?), but kenzaki just never made them. hajime attracts people like... darkroaches, from amane to haruka to jin to kenzaki onwards, and kenzaki stumbled into his housing situation and kotaro and was otherwise alone. hajime loves deeply and protectively, instinctively, selflessly, even if he didnt understand what the feeling was, and kenzaki was so isolated from other people that despite being human all of his emotions seem "weird", the way he interacts with the other humans at first is "weird", etc. kenzaki likes People, but individuals have always been beyond him. hajime doesnt like people, but he loves Persons. hajime is willing to give up his life for the world, and kenzaki is willing to give up the world for hajime (and when it crosses the edge, he is willing to give up himself... for hajime.)

-functionally, kenzaki is set up as less ""human"" than hajime in quite a few ways.

(i am honestly inclined to think at times it is not just that kenzaki saw that hajime was capable of love that made him believe in him, but saw that hajime was capable of love in a way kenzaki wasnt, a way that seemed more noble, natural, and human.)

and this is obviously controversial because on the surface kenzaki is very kind! kenzaki does obviously care about humanity as a whole and people as people. but that doesnt mean hes not selfishly selfless. that doesnt mean he doesnt have his own priorities. that doesnt mean hes perfect, or that hes a typical hero type, when in all ways he is extremely Weird right from the beginning. hes tall and gangly and a bit awkward and kind of moody and sort of unsociable and a huge sweetheart yardstick.

[turboautismrobot]

Hello! OK so I'm sorry if this is weird but I saw that post where you said "Anyone wants to hear me rant about Kokichi" I just wanted to say that, yes I want to hear lol

oh hi anon this is copy pasted from my notes app and i havent re read it in some weeks so excuse any weirdness lmao

ahem:

what the fuck does ultimate supreme leader even mean.

in drv3 the talents are at their most central to the plot, rantaro lies about his because he knows he'll be targeted for being the ultimate survivor of the previous game, maki lies about hers because she knows she wont be trusted with the title of ultimate assasin, part of shuichis character arc revolves around his insecurity over his ultimate detective talent, kibos comidic effect comes from him being an ultimate only in title, having his abilities as the ultimate robot be incredibly and sometimes even below average, we see the cast receive their talents at the start of the game, the fake narrative has them give their talents up in protest of the gofer project, the fiction plot twist places emphasis on their talents and struggles around them being scripted and used to dehumanize them into living fictional characters, there are whole talent labs for the students of the ultimate academy for gifted juveniles

even in previous games where the talents arent such big points theyre still pretty importaint, hajimes entire conflict coming from the fact that hes talentless and went trough so much societal pressure he accepted being lobotimized just to have something he can call special, nagito even poking fun at him for being from the reserve course

looking purely at antagonists nagitos shines with his talent, the ultimate lucky student title being given to him in a raffle to select a random talentless person to join the academy, tying into his inferiority complex. the title of ultimate luck also ties into the luck cycle that dictates and completly ruined his life, his luck is also used for plot reasons when he survives his plan to murder himself and gets twogami killed instead, when he gets a soundproof room in ch4 which alongside sonias is used to point out the holes in gundhams story, to obtain the hopes peak file trough russian roulette, and having its last hurrah when he literally kills himself in order to have his luck rat out the traitor

but kokichis talent is utterly meaningless, not only is "ultimate supreme leader" a random bundle of words made incomprehensible by the addition of the adjective "supreme", that doesnt tell you anything about him, but we also never see his supposed leading skills utilized in the narrative, only being TOLD by his motive video that hes the leader of a SMALL gang, making the adjective "supreme" not only meaningless but nonsensical. his talent is so incredibly underutilized in the game that for most of it i was convinced he was lying about it and would be revealed to be the ultimate prankster or theif or even liar because those are skills he actually uses during the game, which would have made him a massive fucking hypocrite for ratting maki out which imo would have added intrest to his character

its an incredibly odd choice to make kokichis talent meaningless in my opinion considering that for most of the game hes the main antagonist and conflic creator, unlike the previous antag nagito who uses his luck to his favor at every chance he gets, kokichi doesnt do shit with his own talent, its completly meaningless to the narrative of v3 which again, is the game that emphasis the talents the most in the entire series (dr2 has an emphasis on them but its only brought up by nagitos admiration of his classmates and at the end of the game with the izuru reveal, unlike v3 which is focusing on the talents the entire duration of the game)

[theultimatefanficwriter]

Pride Month Headcanons!

So its Pride Month! And as a proud member of the alphabet mafia I wanna give my opinion on all the Danganronpa characters' sexualities! So let's go, starting with THH!

Trigger Happy Havoc

Makoto Naegi- Pansexual. I'm under the belief all protags are Pan. Transgender(ftm). So I have this whole hc that the reason his door was jammed was that the lock was quickly removed when they found out SHE was actually a HE and I just like the hc lol.

Sayaka Maizono- Straight. I just think she has a big thing for Makoto, but other than that she cares for her career more than a relationship.

Leon Kuwata- Bisexual, heavy female leaning. I ship him with Hiro, but honestly this fucker would probably take forever to admit he likes guys.

Chihiro Fukisaki- Gay. Dont really have a reasoning. Just my opinion lol

Mondo Oowada- Bisexual. He mentions trying to confess to girls, but come on. This guy is fruity for Taka.

Kiyotaka Ishimaru- Gay. This dude meanwhile is just straight homo. He's probably closeted in fear it would bring shame to his family name again.

Hifumi Yamada- Straight. I honestly dont think about the guy enough to give this enough thought, but the way he simps over Celeste proves he likes girls at least. Plus he kept calling Alter Ego she, so...yeah.

Celestia Ludenberg- Straight. Honestly I think she'd be homophobic? Idk i really dislike Celeste, sorry 😅 She just gives me those vibes.

Sakura Oogami- Bisexual. I wanna label her as lesbian, but Kenshiro exists 😒 Women leaning possibly

Kyoko Kirigiri- Bisexual. Though i dont personally ship her with any girls, I can see her going both ways.

Byakuya Togami- Gay. And it's a problem with his family, so he's closeted.

Yasuhiro Hagakure- Pansexual. He just wants to love someone, man lmao.

Aoi Asahina- Bisexual. Again, wanna label her as lesbian, but the Bad End exists, showing she willingly got with three guys. And she does ask Makoto to pretend to be her bf. But she leans heavily towards females imo.

Toko Fukawa/Genocide Jill- Bisexual. It was straight until she met Komaru. Then she realized "Oh shit. I'm gay." But she still has a small thing for Byakuya ig 😒

Mukuro Ikusaba- Straight. We pretend the thing with her sister doesnt exist, alright?

Junko Enoshima- Straight. And definitely homophobic.

Wow a lot of bi peeps lol. Alright, onto the next game!

Goodbye Despair

Hajime Hinata- Pansexual. Again all protags are Pan. Fight me, prove me wrong you literally cant.

Ultimate Imposter- Panromantic, Nonbinary, Asexual. Though I call Imposter he a lot, I think it's almost canon they're nonbinary. I just have stupid brain and type he first without thinking. I also dont really have a reason for thinking they're asexual? I just think they are. But they're probably panromantic in order to fit their talent better.

Teruteru Hanamura- Pansexual. He's so painfully pan. He even says his options are, and I quote, "pretty open." Dis bitch gay.

Mahiru Koizumi- Lesbian. Dont think I gotta explain myself.

Peko Pekoyama- Bisexual. She's totally dating Fuyuhiko, but I can see her having small crushes on other girls.

Hiyoko Saionji- Lesbian. Also dont think I need to explain myself.

Ibuki Mioda- Bisexual. RAGING bisexual. Also I can honestly see her being Gender Fluid as well.

Mikan Tsumiki- Bisexual. She honestly needs therapy more than she needs a relationship, and she probably doesnt really understand her own labels completely, but I think shes bi.

Nekomaru Nidai- Bisexual. Homeboy was a little TOO eager to be rubbed down by Teruteru 😏 Just kidding, though I do think Nekomaru is bi. No real reason honestly

Gundham Tanaka- Bisexual. He obviously has a thing for Sonia, and in a perfect world(i.e. my perfect world) he would be holding hands with Kazuichi daily. Speaking of holding hands he basically breaks Hajime's in the FTEs. Gay 🥰

Nagito Komaeda- Gay. He's very obviously gay coded, mostly towards Hajime though I dont personally ship that.

Chiaki Nanami- Pansexual. She loves everyone equally. Honestly she probably doesnt put too much work on her labels and would probably go by any pronouns as well, so maybe Gender Fluid?

Fuyuhiko Kuzuryuu- Bisexual. Like Leon I think it would take him a while to accept he likes guys, and he probably leans towards girls more, but he's definitely fruity lol.

Sonia Nevermind- Pansexual. Our girl fucks. She dont care who, she just FUCKS. 🤣 But seriously, I think she just sees love as love. As she should.

Kazuichi Souda- Gay. Transgender, (ftm). He's so very closeted, so badly even he doesnt recognize it. He probably even has internalized homophobia, probably because of his father. Not sure why I hc him as trans, I just think it fits.

Akane Owari- Straight. She probably doesnt think about it much. All she knows is she likes fighting, meat, and Coach Nekomaru.

Alright and onto the last game!

Killing Harmony

Shuichi Saihara- Pansexual, Transgender(ftm). Its. THE RULE. I didnt make it. Sue me. Also fuck it I dunno I think it fits with his whole character if he were trans. Hard to explain lol

Rantaro Amami- Biromantic, Asexual. I admittedly dont know much about Rantaro, but from what I do know, I think he would fit well with just about anyone. I dont have much of a reason for him being Ace.

Kaede Akamatsu- Pansexual. She was the protagonist first, so the rule still applies lol. But even beyond that it just fits her. Hard to explain, it just seems like it works.

Ryoma Hoshi- Straight, Asexual. I know on my ship list I said I shipped him with Gonta, but theres a reason that ship was so low. I heavily think Ryoma is straight. It's just the vibe I get from him. Maybe hes bi curious, but idk. As for the ace bit, it's really dark. I hc it's because of the trauma he endured during prison.

Kirumi Tojo- Lesbian. Idk I look at her and I think "Lesbian power. Powerful wlw moments." Dont ask me my brain just does things.

Angie Yonaga- Pansexual. She always seemed like she was flirting with Himiko and lowkey Tenko, and in the FTEs she straight up wants to get married to Shuichi so like....I dunno what you want me to say.

Tenko Chabashira- Lesbian. Literally no explanation needed.

Korekiyo Shinguji- Pansexual. Putting aside the....obvious....he finds all of humanity beautiful, so he most likely doesnt have a preference when it comes to choosing a partner. Just like with Mukuro we pretend that entire plotline never happened.

Miu Iruma- Pansexual. I see her as pretty open to everyone....Yeah. That's all I got.

Gonta Gokuharu- Bi-curious. Honestly I dont think Gonta knows what he is himself. He probably hasnt given it too much thought, if hes given it any. The best I can think of is bi-curious, assuming hes currently exploring his sexuality.

Kokichi Ouma- Gay. I dont ship him with anyone cause I personally think he'd be a bad partner to anyone he got with based off of his personality, but yeah. He gay lmao.

Kaito Momota- Pansexual. THE LUMINARY OF THE STARS IS FOR EVERYBODY! Probably took a while for him to admit he wasnt straight, but then he admitted it with his whole heart, precious thing.

Tsumugi Shirogane- Straight. Fuck I dunno I dont think about her in a positive light enough to care. Sorry I really tried 😅

Kiibo- Panromantic, Genderfluid, Asexual. Like Imposter, I've called Kiibo he all the time, including every story I put them in, but technically they have no gender. So that does make them nonbinary, but at the same time it leaves the opportunity for them to go by any pronoun they want, so I hc they go by all of them lol. I also think they just love everyone, and for the ace bit, unfortunately, robots probably dont have dicks 😔 Even if they did, I dont think he would be very interested in sex.

Himiko Yumeno- Lesbian. Despite her treatment of Tenko, her reaction at the end of chapter 3 shows she cared for her, and Angie. She probably loved them both, so, lesbian for sure.

Maki Harukawa- Straight. Kaito was probably her first ever crush, so I doubt she ever had a chance to feel out if she was anything other than straight. Even disregarding that, I dont think she'd be anything else.

Alright and those are my headcanons for all the Danganronpa characters! As a bonus, I think Komaru Naegi is a Lesbian! No real reason other than Tokomaru is top tier lol.

Now remember these are my opinions! If you dont agree that's fine! Just be kind!

And HAPPY PRIDE EVERYONE! 🥰🏳️‍🌈

[thirsthourdemon]

Haikyuu boys and what gifts they would give you

Includes: Karasuno, Aoba Johsai, Nekoma, Shiratorizawa, Fukurodani, Inarizaki

A/N: Aha Aha Aha

Karasuno

Hinata: He would give you a rock that him and natsu painted on. On the rock there’s a silly face on it, from natsu, and then a volleyball, from hinata, then an I love you at the bottom part. He gave that to you when you guys went on a park date with natsu.

Kageyma: The first give he would have ever given you was a milk box and you were so happy because he never really shares his milk. This was actually how he confessed to you like he wrote “Want to go out with me?” Or something like that at the bottom. He was blushing the whole time.

Yamaguchi: This baby boy would give you his scarf and a warm drink because you were both walking home from school and it was really cold but you forgot your scarf at home so he just gave you his. He would blush whenever he sees you wearing it now.

Tsukkishima: Salty boy gave you a playlist ever since you told him what type of music you liked. He wouldnt give it to you right after making it though. He would have given in when you’re stressing out over homework or something like that and he’d just put it on speaker for you waiting for you to ask whose playlist that was.

Nishinoya: An ice cream stick. Why? You called him senpai the first time you met him and he just- He automatically fell in love and asked you to an ice cream “hang out” because it wasnt a date or anything! He was just being a good senpai. He confessed to you by making an ice cream stick and the stick had a heart carved into it.

Tanaka: You and him went to a matsuri, shrine festival, with the team. He decided that he was going to be a man and catch you some goldfish. It took him a while however but you still appreciated his victory even though he spent most of his money it. You named that single goldfish “Ryuu”.

Suga: It’s not technically a gift but he gave you a mechanical pencil with your name on it. He was supposed to keep it for himself but you were borrowing a mechanical pencil during lunch time and he just gave you his pencil case only late to realize that it was there. When you saw it oh boy were you confused. Ended up confessing to you that way.

Asahi: OH MY- He gave you a handmade hair tie. Like he saw how you were struggling with your hair so much so he just decides to make one but he didnt plant ahead on how he’d give it to you. He was forced by suga and daichi to give it to you but in the end noya did that because he was too nervous to even tell you. Noya just “Oh hey! Y/N! Asahi thought you might be having trouble with your hair! Here” and just gives it to you. Blushing mess.

Daichi: The traditional gift 😤 He gave you a response chocolate he made with suga during white day. You gave him chocolate during valentines and he responded by giving you chocolate gift back. He gave it to you after practice and though the chocolate was a bit soft now he still gave it because the effort? Not letting that go to waste!

Ennoshita: Another traditional man. You gave him chocolate and he didnt know what to do so he just...Huh? He gave you chocolates back and let’s just say things started from there on ❤️

Kiyoko: You were stuck in the friendzone for quite a time too. She gave you matching keychains for your bag but like...Yachi also has it. 😔

Yachi: 😳😳😳 She drew you once for “art class”. Baby didnt have “art class” but when it came out better than expected she gave it to you when she confessed along with a letter. Let’s be real she was blushing and saying sorry the whole time.

Im sorry, guys but Im a big yachi-stan. Yachi is THAT bitch for me.

Aoba Johsai

Oikawa Toru: He doesnt give you 1 or 2 no no...He gives you 5 service aces. Shows off in the game more when you’re watching and for Seijoh it’s a sure victory once he does his little service ritual for you.

Iwaizumi Hajime: One time you called oikawa “shittykawa” during class he instantly fell in love with your fierce attitude so he legit treated you good food after that time. It became a ritual for both of you to eat out whenever they one which was often. His comfort food cannot be complete without you eating it with him.

Mattsukawa issei: His horsecock. That shit is a gift in itself. A big gift in fact.

Kyoutani Kentarou: People may see him as a very scary person but he actually gave you a stuff toy you wanted at the arcade. He saw how you looked at it with such longing that one time and proceeded to get it for you whenever you werent around. It took him such a long time but gosh was it worth it to see you smiling like that.

Nekoma

Kuroo: This man gave you...A headache. No fr hahahaha he gave you a spike actually. The first time you watched him play in a game...mf told you that if he stomped twice then it was a spike for you. He actually did win the game with that one spike because nekoma was losing and team morale was low. The moment he spiked that ball with that subtle double stomp he managed to score and boost morale again.

Kenma: He always gives you gifts but more like...Health potions, resources you need, animal crossing gifts tbh 🥺. He didnt really give you much gifts physically but virtually? He would specifically go and get rare items in doubles just to give you the other one and say he “Accidentally got another one”.

Lev: Alisa’s cooking. You were both out during lunch time and he saw that you were only drinking something so he decided to feed you his sister’s bento for him. My baby is so sweet- and also headaches. He also gives you headaches.

Fukurodani

Bokuto: He gives you either his jersey OR a spike as well. Better yet he gives you his jersey for a game then does a spike for you. Bitch didnt even have a signal he legit shouted “That one was for you, Y/N!” And pointed at you. Kill me please- Needless to say everyone was looking at you so much.

Akaashi: You cant convince me he doesnt give you a copy of the book you wanted and were looking for. He just so happened to have it, yeah sure...🙃 Little did you know that he went all over miyagi for that fucking book. He probably gave you a bookmark along with it too. ❤️ Ya nerds

Date tech

Aone takanobu: Surprisingly enough he gave you a small vase for the flowers he gave you last time. He even told you how to preserve them more. He be teaching you all about plants whenever he you two go home together. He doesnt speak he just...gives you books or he shows you himself sometimes.

Futakuchi: He gave you his sour gummies 😖 TOO ADORABLE FUCK. You were staring at them and he just offered you some and now you’re in love.

Shiratorizawa

Ushijima: Waka baby gave you a service ace. He isnt one to give you anything big and he didnt know what to give you so he just gave you something he knows he could. Before the game itself he actually told you that he promised you a service ace the first time he would be given the chance. Volleyball Idiot 🥺

Tendou: MIRACLE BOY STRAIGHT UP GAVE YOU ONE OF HIS SHONEN JUMPS. He gave you the one that you really liked and said it was “Not a big deal”-It was a big deal considering how in love he is with them.

Goshiki: Im sorry but...good head. He gave you heavenly head. 😔 King of oral right here. No really hahahaha tsutomu probs gave you a shrine charm that says “absolute victory”. You keep that little charm whenever you watch his games now. Though you tell him that its the charm working he says you’re his actual lucky charm.

Inarizaki

Miya Atsumu: A migrane. His fangirls keep threatening you and you had to keep on telling them that you were just their team manager. He just- I mean I wanted to say he gave you a service ace but mf just gave you a migrane.

Miya Osamu: Unlike his brother this guy is actually pretty reasonable. As an asian you have no idea how happy your parents would be when this man gives you half a sack of rice. I know everyone expects the “Onigiri” answer but I enjoy being given a sack of rice more. 🍚

Aran Ojiro: I- IM SUCH A SIMP! He gave you his a batch of cookies. This headcanon is from @oof-she-needs-therapy by the way because I fell in love with their works so much. He just “Felt like he had to make an extra batch”. This boy 100% made that for you alone. Dont play me. He even fed you one and just to tease back you kissed the tips of his fingers. Practice that day was E V E N T FU L.

[idrawstuffidk]

What Is Wrong With Maki Harukawa?

Y’know, I really hate Maki’s characterization, but also, I think I’ve finally figured out why.

There are 2 reasons why I don’t like maki. 1. The casts reaction to her, and 2. Bad writing.

Maki on her own is a character I can get behind, her backstory is cool, and her motivation of wanting a purpose is very realistic and interesting, as it doesnt excuse her actions, but it also makes sence. I love morally grey characters and maki could have been an amazing character, but the 2 reasons I brought up before get in the way of that and have effectively destroyed any possibility of her being an amazing character.

Allow me to elaborate on my points.

1. The casts reaction to her

In the first chapter everyones reaction to maki is believable and understandable, there’s not much to react to, so she just fits right in as a stoic individual. Standard, y’know? (I actually though an ultimate child caregiver who doesn’t like kids was a cool concept tbh)

Second chapter, pretty much everyone is suspicious of her, which makes perfect sence, she was being suspicious as fuck, but Kaito s reaction to her is blind belief in her, which was so dumb considering she had no alibe and she was clearly hiding something. Kaito is kind of an idiot so it’s a bit forgivable but Shuichi lying to protect maki was so stupid, shuichi is a detective, and he’s very smart, he had no reason to beleive that maki was innocent, but he lies for her anyway for no reason at all.

After that trial maki literally chokes out Kokichi and is revealed to be the ultimate assassin, most everyone’s reaction it fair, suggesting to tie her up and lock her lab so no one can use her weapons and she can’t kill anyone. That’s understandable, but of course Kaito stops them and exclaims that he’s going to break down her facade. A facade he has no reason to beleive is real, but hey, this is Kaito we’re talking about. I kinda expected it. Dumbass.

After that it’s like NO ONE cares anymore. Yes the student council was watching her very closely but besides that no one treats her unfairly for very long, which they realistically would have.

Then maki tries to get them all killed because she blamed Kokichi for his death and wanted to kill him. She was going to sacrifice everyone to take out Kokichi, something Kaito should NOT have been ok with, yet he doesn’t tell her off or try to make sure she doesn’t do that again, he doesn’t say ANYTHING of the sort to her, no one did! Even though they all had the full right to do so.

Everyone gives maki the benifit of the doubt and way to many chances that she never does anything to deserve and it’s infuriating, it makes her seem like a Mary Sue because even though she was hated by a few people for, like, one chapter, she never faced any concequences for her actions, she never is punished or condemned for murdering people, trying to kill Kokichi, almost killing Kaito, trying to kill everyone just to kill the mastermind, she gets away with all of this with no real consequence. Also, on a smaller note, she’s an asshole to everyone except Kaito and no one seems to hold bad feelings against her for that either, I’ll come back to this later bc I have a comparison but for now let’s move on

2. Bad writing

Maki is written with the intent of being the games “waifu” character, or the supporting female lead, like Kiyoko and Chiaki. The problem with this is because maki is nothing like Kiyoko or Chiaki.

Kiyoko was simmilar to Maki in the sence she was also a quiet, stoic person who could be very VERY scary. But Kiyoko was actually KIND to Makoto, she helped him investigate multiple times, supported him in the class trials, hid herself in garbage to go rescue him and APPOLOGIZED for almost getting him executed. She was kind to him and helped him.

Maki is not kind to Shuichi, she’s actually a total asshole to him and everyone else, she only helps him investigate once and that was because she was filling in for Kaito, (the ONLY person she likes -_-). She doesn’t help him specifically in the trials, she’s the only one who argues alongside him that Kaito was the victim but we already know why she did that (because she believed she killed him and wanted everyone to guess wrong so they would DIE) and she never appologized to Shuichi for any of the fucked up shit she did.

And before you say “but maki had a whole character arc!” SO DID KIYOKO she had issues, she was trying to come to terms with emotions surrounding her father ababdoning her, his death, and her failure as a kirigiri detective. She had a character arc that involved her getting closer to makoto and learning to depend on others help sometimes, it’s why she’s so loved and why Kiyoko x Makoto is so freaking good (I’m a crazy shipper leave me be)

Maki doesn’t become close to or depend on Shuichi, she never improves to the extend Kiyoko did and I’d argue the only thing she improved was her ability to care about Kaito, nothing else changed. She still tried to kill everyone at the end, she didn’t actually change.

Here’s where that comparison comes into place, Fuyuhiko was a yakuza, he was dangerous and rude to everyone, he was a dick for the first 2 chapters, no question about it. But then something happened, it’s called a REDEMPTION ARC

Fuyuhiko causes the death of Mahiru and Peko, and he is distraught over what he has done. But he doesn’t just mope around and feel bad for himself, he doesn’t try to excuse his actions, he doesn’t pretend he didn’t do anything wrong, he APPOLOGIZES, not to be forgiven, but to appologize because he knows how bad he fucked up, he holds no bad feelings towards Hiyoko for not forgiving him, and even tries to commit sepuku to prove to her how sorry he is. He was ok with dying if it meant he could appologize to hiyoko and the others, and he’s angry at himself when he realizes that he’s caused trouble for the others again.

He helps hajime and Mikan at the hospital, saying that hiyoko said he would be the disposable one, and that she was right, he was willing to get sick because he was still trying to make it up to everyone. He becomes an honourable, good guy who is helpful and kindhearted, which is why he is so loved by the fandom.

Maki is simmilar to Fuyuhiko at the beginning, and when she chokes out Kokichi she seems to be following his pattern a bit, the problem is that the writing fucked get over, Makis actions have no consequences, so she can’t have the same sequence of events as fuyuhiko, she does cause Kaitos death to some extent, but that’s the last murder trial so it doesn’t work because she has no time to redeemed herself after like Fuyuhiko did. This is the bad writing, instead of having maki’s actions have consequences like Fuyuhikos did and having that be the kick in the ass she needs to start trying to improve herself and appologize to the others, maki is just shoved down your throat via kaitos dumbassery and we are expected to feel sympathy for her.

Fuyuhiko EARNED our love, Maki didnt do SHIT to earn love from any of us. Which is why I hate her.

Hi! Sorry it took me so long to reply! Know that you say it, it's true that both Akechi and Nagito share some kind of character archetype. I was mostly curious because, although they share similarities, they are different in other things. I tried to like Akechi, I really did, but the fact that he doesn't seem to feel remorse for his actions and sometimes is sadic when he kills shadows. (1/2)

And (SPOILER!) he worked for Shido to gain his trust and eventually kill him, but somehow was surprised to learn what Shido really thought of him?. Yes, Akechi sacrificed himself in the end to help the Thieves (I'm not fond of the "sacrifice redemption" thing) but doesnt excuse his actions. Meanwhile, Nagito cares for his classmates, tries to do what he thinks is best for everyone (but is bad ofc) and is kinda influenced by his illness. (2/2)

Then again, i watched the game on youtibe so it's not the same experience that playing it myself....

Here’s the thing, Anon: as someone who began Persona 5 feeling a deep, debilitating rage every time Akechi showed his stupid fucking face onscreen, to possibly maybe shedding a tear or two for him by the end, I’m not going to try and convince you to like him. Partly because it’s a silly endeavour, but partly because I understand that he just isn’t an easy guy to like. And I say this fully recognising that, just before, I called him extremely likeable. I hold the same to be true for Nagito, as well. It’s one thing to tolerate a character’s flaws when you understand their deepest and most sympathetic motivations; it’d be another if you met them in real life and were blindly subjected to the worst of that their personality has to offer. 

(continued under a cut for heavier spoilers and length i guess)

 That said, I’d argue Nagito is just as remorseless and ruthless as Akechi is. In his mind, so long as an action is committed to further a great hope, it is justified. I suspect their differences are less a matter of contrition, and more a matter of time. I found Nagito easier to sympathise with at first, because it’s easier to see his humanity than it is to see Akechi’s. Despite his habit of pushing people away, Nagito remains so desperate to be recognised, he seemingly can’t help letting his cheerful, apathetic veneer slip here and there, giving glimpses of his true motivations from the beginning. It also helps that, as Hajime, we - the player - notice it early on. Hajime observes pretty quickly that Nagito has probably been through a lot, and that he seems kind and understanding if a little strange. On the other hand, due to the nature of the game, Joker’s initial opinions of Akechi are entirely up to the player. You won’t see much of his true personality early on unless you’re really looking for it. This, for the longest time, he’s nothing more than a vaguely antagonistic presence with who knows what motives.

 Furthermore, Nagito’s betrayal of the group comes much sooner which, I’d also argue, helps ground his character. It gives us time to explore those motives, the implications, and how he might still fit in a group dynamic. Whereas, by Akechi’s about-face, we’re pretty late in the game and he still isn’t wholly part of the group, having distinguished himself from the PTs by demanding that they disband in exchange for his help. 

 In all, while Nagito is willing and eager to make his true self known, Akechi hides himself until the very end, making it harder to understand and explore his character. Even in the third semester, with his demise imminent, he’d rather keep the other characters at arm’s length than live his final month or so in good company. He really is that ruined for other people. With time and patience, he could become as open as Nagito is, but the game simply doesn’t have that time to give at this point. And that, I suspect, is the cause for the trouble you have with his character and not Nagito’s. Akechi isn’t allowed to be a person for very long. Anger, hostility and fear trickle through as unadulterated sadism, because we aren’t privy to his whole side of things as thoroughly as we could be. 

 With regard to the Shido thing, I kind of read that as a rare moment of his emotions getting the better of him. He’d always wanted to get back at his father for abandoning him and his mother. Make him pay for the hellscape of a life he trapped them in. Much like Joker, he’s met with a perceived injustice, and he wants to right it via his own means. Of course, whether what he’s doing is “right” is up for debate, but I digress. To find out that Shido knew who he was all along and was still, after all this time, willing to discard his own son must’ve hurt. To realise he never stood a chance, for his life’s work to suddenly become nothing. You know, the whole “My expectations were low, but HOLY FUCK” thing? The game puts a heavy emphasis on Rotten Adults failing kids, but with his charm and sophistication, it can be easy to forget that Akechi is one of those failed kids too. I think he reacted like a child because, deep down, he is: a child fueled by a childish anger, and that’s why the game doesn’t condemn him the way it does Shido himself. There’s this implicit hopefulness that, through atonement and support, Akechi could change himself. Become a better person. But, because of his terrible, horrible, bad, bad father, he’s once again robbed of a chance of a better life, and it’s all he can do to make sure he doesn’t drag others down further than he has with his bad choices. 

 Yeah, I’m not too fond of the Sacrifice As Redemption trope, either. I would have preferred a proper character arc. But, I do think it demonstrates an ability to be selfless and contrite, if not a willingness. Stripped of his dreams and left with nothing, he really could have done anything in that moment. And he did That. 

 Of course, it’s possible that my interpretation of Akechi is a little charitable, do bear that in mind. I have a weakness for these types of characters, and my perception may well be biased. Due to my experience with other complex characters (like Nagito), I kind of just want to see the best brought out in him. (What can I say? I grew up shows like Avatar, complicated characterisation and quality redemption arcs Do It for me.) That said, it’s not at all invalid to find Akechi’s arrogance, selfishness and disregard for others offputting, with or without a reason for him to be such. The way he exists in his story vis-à-vis the whole foil thing I discussed in my last post is similar to Nagito’s role, and they share a lot of characteristics that are fun to discuss. But they are, ultimately, different characters. It’s okay to feel wildly different about them.

Day 1 - Reserve

Written for @the-hinata-project 

Prompt: Reserve Course Student Hinata

Rating: G

Warnings: Lowkey manipulation and insecurity, but other than that, not much.

Notes: Alright, so I’m still in the middle of these, but like... Here’s the first one! They’re all going to be pretty short, around 2K but I’m gonna do my best to finish all of them so wish me luck...! And this first fic is gen. No ships. Next ones won’t be so gen. It’s also pre-HPA. Kind of.

***Alternate Ao3 Link***

Commission? Donate?

The last wish he made on New Year’s was a simple one.

I want to get into Hope’s Peak.

But of course that  would never happen.

“Can’t you dream more realistically, Hajime? Do you have any idea how expensive Hope’s Peak actually is? We can’t afford that.”

“I... I know that, but...”

“If you know then why are you burdening us with this? Please. Just think about other people besides yourself for once.”

“...sorry.”

His mother sighs, but ruffles his hair in a show of affection.

“You current high school isn’t so bad, right? You can make good friends here, and it’s a fine school.”

“I guess it’s...decent,” he mumbles.

“Just don’t even worry about Hope’s Peak anymore,” she tells him. “It’s impossible, and it can’t be helped. Keep your chin up. Okay?”

“...fine...”

Because he knew, after all, that she had a point. They couldn’t afford it. And he wasn’t talented. It was a pipe dream to attend. Nothing more. Nothing less.

Still...

--

For his birthday, he was given a new laptop to replace the old. It was a fairly recent model. Pretty expensive. Likely compensation. He can’t say he didn’t like it.

He wasn’t ungrateful. He doesn’t think so.

It’s just that I admire Hope’s Peak more than anything.

So much so that he finds himself on the forums first thing.

>Does anyone have any idea who’s going to be in the upcoming batch?

>They haven’t finished scouting, right? Oh, but I just saw on the news that an actual princess was accepted! Hope’s Peak really can get in anyone!

>Wow, actual royalty?!

>There’s this photographer I follow. She’s getting in, too, I’m pretty sure.

>I just saw Saionji Hiyoko-san’s performance last week. I’m positive she’s getting in.

>I’m more interested in the princess. Can you imagine how lucky it would be to meet an actual princess?

>>They’ll be running the lottery in a month or so. What I would give to have more of a chance...

>Wow, they’re doing that again?

>With how much getting into the reserve course costs, you probably have a better chance with the lottery...

>But if you win the lottery, you’re actually considered talented. Reserves are just...y’know, reserves.

>But you’ll get to meet the princess, potentially. I think the money’s worth it, even if all I can do is steal a glance!

>Still... Seems so lame that you can just pay your way in...

>But brand name recognition is pretty powerful...

>>I heard you can actually get into the main course from the reserve course if you do well enough.

>No way! That’s a pipe dream! Maybe if you paid like, twice as much!

>Must be nice to be rich, huh...

Hinata stares, wondering what to type, but also letting the thoughts swirl around in his head.

>>I would do anything to get into Hope’s Peak. But my family just can’t afford that.

>Yeah, mine neither. Who actually can?

>You’d be surprised... They’re getting a lot of enrollments.

>You can’t like...get a scholarship or anything? It’s not like you need to go to college after attending Hope’s Peak.

>Well the golden gates can’t open that wide, I suppose...

>It’s for the best. If just about anyone could get in, it wouldn’t be that special.

Hinata bites his lip, picking at the peeling skin with his teeth.

>>Still. I want to get in more than anything.

>If you aren’t talented, it can’t be helped.

>>I would give anything.

>Pffft. No kidding. I’d give an arm and a leg, probably.

>>I would give anything.

>A lot of people would.

>You’re like a super fan, huh. Well, I am, too, but still...

>>Getting into Hope’s Peak has always been my dream.

>Everyone wants to be special, man.

>But if everyone was special then no one would be special.

>It can’t be helped. You’re either born talented or you aren’t.

>Right?! I must have spent hours drawing but there was always that one person I could just never compare to. It’s hopeless!

>You shouldn’t say hopeless on the Hope’s Peak forums!

>Haha, sorry!

>>I’ve never been talented. There’s not one thing I’m particularly good at.

>Normie...

>>But I want to get into Hope’s Peak Academy... More than anything.

>Give it up. For your own good. Wishing for the impossible isn’t healthy.

>Hey, don’t tell him that! What if he ends up winning the lottery?

>Yeah, right!

>>I’m not particularly lucky, either.

>Luck’s not a talent anyway.

>Are you sure? I’ve known people who get ridiculously lucky while gambling...

>If they gamble too much, that luck’s bound to run out. And I bet they’re not that lucky, they just brag a lot.

>That might be true... Still it would be nice just to get into Hope’s Peak by chance...

>Whoever wins that lottery probably is ridiculously lucky considering how many people are participating. We’re talking like, every high school student in their first year in the country.

>Sucks to be other countries, huh.

>Maybe someday but for now, I like not having that much competition.

>Still a ridiculous amount competing...

>I bet it’ll be someone who can afford the reserve course if they haven’t already enrolled.

>No fair! That kind of thing should disqualify you immediately!

>>I just...want to get in...

>Yeah we all do. But it’s impossible.

>Impossible.

>Totally impossible.

>Pigs will fly first.

>I heard some Ultimates actually can make some crazy shit. We might see flying pigs pretty soon.

>That’s terrifying.

>>I just want to get in.

>You should get offline.

He should. He really, really should.

Is it really impossible?

“Of course it is,” he can practically hear them murmur. “Not only are you untalented, you can’t afford it! And you’re going to win the lottery, either!”

Hinata buries his face into his hands, shuddering.

I just... I just...

--

To his surprise, he later receives a DM. Shivering, he clicks it open.

>Would you really do anything for Hope’s Peak?

He doesn’t recognize the name of the sender but...it looks official.

>>Yes. Of course. Why?

>There actually is a program you can sign up for that will get you in without having to pay a coin.

Hinata blinked once. Twice.

It’s way too good to be true.

But he’s desperate. Beyond desperate.

>>What is this program? How can I sign up?

>Here’s the information.

--

What he’s about to do is how people get themselves abducted, he’s pretty sure. But right now, he’s desperate and... If it really was someone associated with Hope’s Peak, how bad can it be? What’s the worse than can happen?

I already have no chance getting in. I know that... But...

His heart was pounding as he took the train. He stared out the window, at HPA’s towering buildings in the distance, getting closer and closer, and he sucks in his breath.

It’s so shining that it hurts to look at.

Shining like a dream...

--

“Ah, Hinata-kun, you made it after all. So you have the necessary information?”

“Uh... Yes...” Truth be told, he didn’t understand most of it. There were a lot of words that were hard to read and pretty...advanced. “I just...well you said you couldn’t explain everything in just files, so...”

The other looked pretty professional. Sharply dressed and smiling in a way that at least seemed pretty welcoming. But...still pretty intimidating, considering the circumstances. Hinata ducked his head, feeling rather flustered.

“Yes, it’s meant to be kept very tightly under wraps, you see,” they laugh. “I need to assure confidentiality before explaining, Hinata-kun. Surely you understand.”

That’s...weird.

But it made his blood thrum with excitement to be a part of.

“I... Y-Yes, of course. Absolutely... Of course...”

“Sign this form, then, promising that.”

“O-Of course...!”

He scribbles down his signature without a second thought. The other smiled more, pleased. Hinata squirmed in his seat, and tried to keep his posture straight.

With that, the other sat across from him, polite and yet...expectant.

Ah... Hah...

“So you’re willing to do anything for this school,” they say, voice almost light but also dense with significance. “Might I ask why?”

“It’s...as I said on the forums,” Hinata mumbles, fiddling with his tie. Even dressed professionally for this would-be interview, he feels underdressed. “I’ve always admired this school. Always. It’s always been my dream to...to go there...”

The other nods, expression unchanged.

“And why do you wish so badly to go there, despite not having a talent that can be cultivated?”

Hinata flinched.

“T-That’s...! I...” He hesitates, but he soon finds the words just spilling out. “I just want to be someone I can be proud of. Someone who can stand tall. Be confident. Be significant. Isn’t that what I deserve?”

“Isn’t that what everyone deserves?”

Hinata’s nails dig into his palms.

“I admire Hope’s Peak...more than anyone. I will give whatever I can...and then more than that...if I have to.” His teeth grit. “Whatever it takes... W-Whatever it takes...!”

Even though I know it’s selfish and impossible, I just...!

He just wanted to be someone. Someone other than...this.

Unimportant. Unremarkable. A faceless, meaningless part of the mass. The idea of being consumed by mediocrity and insignificance for the rest of his life, never to matter, never to even be remembered, just to disappear, just like he never even existed—

“I’ll do...w-whatever...it takes...” He’s shaking, eyes wide and crazed. “Whatever it takes... Whatever I can...and then more than that...if I have to.”

“Ah. I see.” An easy smile. And yet, the atmosphere felt so heavy that it was near suffocating. “Very well then, Hinata-kun. That’s exactly the kind of attitude we’re looking for.”

Hinata lit up.

“R-Really?” He dares to let hope slip into his tone. “D-Do you really mean it?”

A nod.

“Hinata-kun... If you could be reborn from the faceless body of a miserable nobody into the world’s hope... Would you?”

“That...sounds too good to be true...” His heart really was racing, but he was flushed with excitement. “But... Y-Yeah... I... Of course...”

“Then, allow me to tell you about how that can be possible. If you agree, you’ll be accepted into the school, free of charge, no talent necessary. In fact, it’s even essential that you be talentless.”

I...don’t understand.

He doesn’t understand but it just sounds so incredible that he can’t help but be swayed.

“...tell me.”

“Very well.”

A folder of files is placed before him. They look too important to grasp. And the stamped out letters of CONFIDENTIAL stare back into his wide-eyed, shimmering gaze.

Fingers trembling, Hinata actually slices his finger open as he flips it open.

He doesn’t even feel the sting, as engrossed as he is in the text.

“I...”

The words swirl around in his head, over and over until he drowns in them.

“Do you need time to think about it?” the other asks him kindly. So kindly that Hinata is struck cold. “Tell you what... You can still get into the reserve course. You don’t have to say yes right away, and the deadline will be in a few months from now. You can attend classes here until then...and then make your decision on whether or not you’re willing to stay. Okay?”

“I... O-Okay.” Hinata swallows. “That’s... I’m okay with that.”

I said I’d do anything. And I do...want to do anything. But...

His hands are shaking while still gripping the files.

I can’t...let this chance slip by...even if it’s something like this. This is everything I ever wanted. Why am I even hesitating?

“It’s alright,” the other says reassuringly, taking the files away with ease. “Hinata-kun, I know you’ll make the best decision for yourself.”

For...myself. Myself...

“I...yes.”

“I’ll have them send in your acceptance letter and uniform.” His hand is shook, the grip warm and calloused. “It was a pleasure meeting you, Hinata-kun.”

“A-A pleasure... Yeah.”

Just like that, Hinata was stumbling out of Hope’s Peak, trembling and falling to pieces with every shaky step.

I have to do it, he can’t help but think. I have to do it, for...for myself...

This was going to be the year his life changed irreparably. He was sure of it.

[originaldanganronpascenarios]

Okay, All you really need to do for research is at least watch/read up to like, week 2 for context(I am not sorry if you get hooked). Once you've done that, I'd like to request Kyoko, Chiaki, Hajime,and Kiibo(Entrance fee: Memories) in the Reaper's Game with their s/o(Entrance fee: Emotions or something idk) being their game partner as they go through the game?

Well this game is quite interesting! I watched a bit of gameplay and red something about this since watching full week whould take me too long and I dont want you to wait any longer! And also if it wont be good you can re-request it if I will mess up THIS baddly.

Kyoko s/o entrance fee:  Intelligence

Chiaki so/ entrance fee: optymism/Hope whatever you think suits xD

Hajime s/o entrance fee: Trust

Kiibo s/o entrance fee: Courage (keebo will be human here)

I will make it like first time you met them (sorry if you wanted them to be alredy couple I just wanted to write it more like this since it whould be heartbraking to know that your loved one has forgotten you and all memories you shared AND losing something important to you too)

Kyoko Kirigiri

When you saw her you knew that she will be a good person to form a pact with.

She seemed a bit difftent tho. She was more confused that you thought she whould if she was at all. She payed in her memories but she seemed smart so you are probably able to be a good team since she has no memories you have and you dont have inteligance she (probably) has.

When you approached her she didn’t knew what you ment by pact but she catched on fast.

You were able to not get erased by Noise. And you helped her a lot on the beggining even tho you werent that smart and misunderstood a lot of things but Kyoko managed to understand what was going on.

First 2 days were confusing for both of you and you were a great team with the quests.

As 3rd day started you got used to all this stuff and were doing fantastic!

You werent talking to any other players since this could distract you and you sure didn’t wanted to be errased just becouse you stopped to talk to someone instead of completing missions.

The “boss battle” was difficult but Kyoko and you never gave up and managed to win  Reaper’s Game! 

Once you got your smarts and Kyoko her memories in following weeks you were undefeated even if you payed your fees. You started to think if you made as good couple as you made team.

Chiaki Nanami

She was confused as you met her you decided to forge a pact with her becouse it wont matter for you who will you play with anyways and since she doesnt know whats shes doing in this game better just help her than let her die.

She was getting hang of things extremeley fast. Not like it matters you knew that Noise will kill you sooner or later and she will be forced to make new pact.

You didn’t belive you will finish single quest. But somehow you did yet you thought that Chiaki does all work so… you thought you will be considered as weak player and be errased.

Chiaki thought otherwise and was praising you whenever you did good or saved her from Noise.

Each day you were keep thinking and saying that you wont make it no matter what.

When you were at 7th day again if somehow you two whould win you thought you are weak so you are going to die anyways.

To your surprise you didnt got erased and you got back your spirit and Chiaki got her memories! In meantime you must admit you MAYBE fell for her.

Hajime Hinata

You knew you had to pair up with someone but you couldn’t make yourself do so.

You got your ass kicked by Noise but you managed to survive.

Hajime walked up to you and asked what was going on.

You thought that it was your only chance to pair up with someone so you had to do it. You didn’t trust him at all. But it was better than getting errased.

You told him basics and all that. He wasnt catching up fast but hey you lost your trust not your patiance!

After he got used to how things work here it was easy to complete quests.

You still didn’t trust that guy at all tho. You allways thought that he will turn his back on you and that he was using you just so he wont be errased due to not having a partner (even if you knew he had no idea what was going on).

After defeating boss you got your trust back and you were apologizing to Hajime for maybe comming off as rude. To be honest you found him kinda cute.

K1B0

You were REALLY scared something could KILL you here!? You had to find someone as fast as possible!

You approached Keebo shaking asking to forge a bond he didn’t understand anything. You freaked out what if you wont find anyone else!? You have to be stuck with someone who doesnt know anything!? Ohgodohgodohgod you didnt wanted to be errased! 

He was nodding as you were explaining things to him. Good seems he understood… BUT WHAT IF HE DOESN’T UNDERSTAND A THING!?

You just HAD to make sure he understood. He was keep saying that he did. 

You were scared each time you had to fight Noise. And each day you were scared becouse of time limit.

Keebo tho was so nice and understanding the whole time and you managed to get small crush on him since for you he was like a prince ready to save his princess (since you had trouble fighting becouse of your courage loss he saved you bunch of times).

Before day 7 he was calming you down and trying to give you courage you loss.

When battle started you were utlra scared but you couldnt let Kiibo down!

You won and got your courage back!

♫ headcanons for s/o cuddling with sdr2 boys

heres the headcanons u wanted! ive never really done headcanons like this so please let me know if u want me to make any changes! theyre under the cut

♪ mod kaede

hajime hinata

- hinata doesnt really think of himself as a cuddler... at all

- but if his s/o was the person that he was cuddling, he was definitely willing to give it a shot

- he decided that it would probably be best to start cuddling with u while watching a movie, since it seemed like a pretty classic date

- once he actually started cuddling with u, though, he found out that he really liked the way it felt

- he couldnt stop thinking about how warm his s/o was and how glad he was to have them in his arms while watching a movie that, honestly, wasnt that great

- what really made the date was u, anyway

- once it was all over, hinata felt like he really wanted to spend more time cuddling up next to u

- maybe cuddling wasnt so bad after all?

nagito komaeda

- if he were to be honest, komaeda was a little hesitant about being affectionate towards his s/o

- especially when it came to stuff like cuddling

- so when u ask him if he wants to cuddle, at first he wants to say no and make up some excuse about being sick

- but when he realized how much u wanted to cuddle with him, he decided to let u have ur way and cuddle up to u

- it surprised komaeda to notice just how warm and safe he felt in his s/o’s arms, and for once he wasnt afraid of getting too close to, and possibly losing, u

- he enjoyed the experience so much that he didnt want to stop cuddling, clinging onto u even when u had to get up and do other things

- this happened the whole entire day

- needless to say, the two of u started to cuddle a lot more often after that

gundam tanaka

- although it might take a while before gundam feels comfortable enough to ask for cuddles, its definitely something hes always wanted to do

- so the day when he gets to cuddle with his s/o feels like a dream come true to him

- while the two of u were cuddling, gundam thought it would be cute if the two of u could share a scarf. since he was the one that wore a scarf, he just wrapped it around u

- he also let u hold his hamsters for a little bit, but not for very long

- when the two of u actually started cuddling, gundam realized that it was better than he couldve hoped for; he liked being close to u and hearing ur heartbeat

- he would be the last to admit it, but he really did enjoy having the chance to cuddle with his s/o

- of course, he claimed that he was only doing this because of a mystical procedure for his dark empire, but that was just to hide how much he enjoyed being around his s/o

- he instantly wanted to cuddle with u again

kazuichi souda

- if anyone was open about wanting to cuddle with their s/o, it was souda

- unfortunately, though, a lot of his classmates thought he liked the idea for not-so-great reasons

- when his s/o actually said that they would like to cuddle with him, though, they learned that he really did just like cuddling up to people and having them around

- souda would even bring blankets for the two of u to cuddle underneath, so that u two can be especially warm

- the two of u probably also end up chatting a whole bunch and talking about anything from a funny joke u heard a while back to ur plans for the future

- of course, if things started getting too deep, souda would try to lighten up the situation again. he wasnt exactly that great at it though

- souda was the one that ended up telling u about his insecurities

- all in all, though, souda really looks forward to any chance he has to cuddle with u

fuyuhiko kuzuryuu

- kuzuryuu will absolutely not admit to saying he wants to cuddle, even if he does

- but denying his s/o the cuddles they want is just so hard

- even though he agreed to cuddle, though, he was pretty awkward and distant for a little while, and it took a bit of effort to get him to warm up and enjoy being cuddled

- once he did, though, he confessed that he found it pretty comforting to be next to his s/o and be able to listen to the gentle sound of their breathing

- plus, u brought some of his favorite sweets, so he couldnt absolutely hate the experience anyway

- its definitely not a date idea that he would enjoy doing all the time, though

- but, if hes in the right mood for it, he really does enjoy curling up with his s/o and staying with them until he practically falls asleep in their arms

- if u were to tell anyone about that, though, hed be so embarrassed that he wouldnt know what to do with himself

byakuya twogami

- cuddling with twogami is honestly like cuddling with a huge teddy bear

- his grip is really soft and he hair this sort of aura that makes him really comforting to just cuddle with for a couple of hours

- it was just a matter of time before his s/o would say that they wanted to cuddle with him

- twogami is actually pretty quiet while he cuddles, since he doesnt want to focus on anything but the way that he feels when hes with his s/o and how comfortable they are

- the two of u would probably start cuddling after having a pretty romantic dinner date too

- after the first time u two cuddle together, u end up asking twogami to cuddle with u pretty regularly

- and although he might make a remark or two, he never says he doesnt want to cuddle

- the two of u are constantly finding excuses to cuddle up next to each other

teruteru hanamura

- teruteru thinks cuddling is a great idea! theres lots of things u can do after u cuddle

- his s/o wont hear any of that, though

- instead, the two of u just end up cuddling together pretty innocently, talking about teruterus food and any recipe ideas hes cooking up

- he talks in great length about all the food he wants to cook for u and how much he wants to see ur reactions to it

- surprisingly enough, teruteru is actually pretty great at cuddling, and hes always down to spend a while cuddling with u

- it wouldnt matter if teruteru werent that great at cuddling, though; whats important is that the two of u are able to spend time together being comfortable and happy

- neither of u would trade that experience for the world

- it doesnt take very long before u and teruteru decide that its a good idea to cuddle again

nekomaru nidai

- nidai is yet another person who is basically the equivalent of cuddling a giant teddy bear

- and hes always open to cuddling with his s/o, since his s/o deserves to have the entire world?

- he might have a lot of muscles, but its really easy to get comfortable while cuddling with nidai. its just something about the way that he cuddles with people

- hes pretty talkative while cuddling, though, and hell try to keep u talking about anything that crosses ur mind

- he also likes to tell u every few seconds just how much he loves u, since he likes letting u know

- even if he is a little loud about it

- all in all, though, cuddling with nidai is a pretty nice experience, and hes always really excited to have another opportunity to spend some time cuddling with u

- u get a whole bunch of cuddle dates with him!

so akira is gonna live in this one but be put away for life basically and kouji takes the "throne" by force so to speak but most importantly i want him and hajime to know one another before hes beaten to a pulp (EDIT hes fuckin dead im not dealing with him)

everyone is also incubus/succubus or human if u want!!! monster fuck time

non-romantic koujime and hideyuu: kouji befriends hajime through yakuza related events and he's always fiercely protective of him bc at this point kouji sees him as a child since he's not much older than mio by this point in the story.

they kind of become strange friends but hajime develops stronger feelings a little more quickly since kouji has protected him so often. hajime is an eye witness to mio dying (as is koujaku) and he risks his life for her name when he testifies, so kouji allows him to stay with him since he's in charge now.

simultaneously, yuu is trying to get involved with a rival yakuza to be able to have a better chance of saving mio, and hideki is just sort of lost at this point. its in vain ofc bc mio dies and yuu has to back out of it all (sacrificing a finger to be able to have a proper escape, and ends up leaving the city behind, unable to really continue facing hideki because of his failure. at this time: yuu and mio are about 18 (beni is about 2 or 3), hideki is about 16, hajime is about 17, and kouji is in his later 20s (about 27 or 28). at this time richard has been hired as a defense lawyer

----

VITRI: trip is a pretty prolific gang member himself alongside abe. virus runs his own branch from celia's side of the family and austin is his very normal friend

trip falls into the wrong spot in a fight and is brought to virus but he refuses to help until he's offered some money. he's mostly afraid of returning though because the group he's in is outrageously violent and abe himself is lucky enough to break away and surrender to be by trip again. virus takes a shine to them though and promises them safety so long as they spill the beans abt their group. trips obviously trying to keep something safe tho

----

ROMANTIC koujime and hideyuu:

KOUJIME: after kouji's punished for selling out his brother and also killing him, he's a mess and becomes pretty reclusive and unable to handle things physically. at this time, akane has taken over as head until he can heal properly. however, he gives hajime a safe place and he insists that hajime "lives however he needs" and gives him the funds to do so. he continues to fiercely protect hajime despite his own medical disposition. 

after a couple of years though, hes been doing a lot better and takes hajime more seriously as someone who has been his companion for the past few years. hajime opens up abt wanting to be a teacher, and for once kouji is able to be properly compassionate and wants hajime to be able to get whatever schooling he needs to and finds himself wanting to do Anything to make hajime happy

YUUDEKI: hideki is horribly lonely. he doesnt have a lot of money, but he’s currently a music teacher and not for a lot of money. he sees hajime quite a bit but he desperately misses yuu despite thinking yuu straight up hates him. it takes a while for hideki to start to visit yuu, but his mother gets sick of it and starts inviting yuu over during times hideki is coming to visit with beni, or on his own.

----

RENMINK: ren is a literal grunt for some kind of gang. at this point the boys are more like 10? i thought itd be nice to have them a bit older. sei is horribly ill and ren is just desperate to get money anywhere and any way he can. aoba refuses to leave sei's side, but he meets koujaku (koujakus like 14 now. this is after mio dies but no more than a year?) at the hospital and sort of spends time with him a lot while sei is asleep.anyways ren is just desperate for money at all times and does whatever he can to both spend time with his brothers and also pay for sei's health.

hes caught snooping too close to scrap territory purely by accident, which ren is horrified by, and nearly gets the shit kicked out of him before mink himself interferes and, impressed by ren being rather collected in the face of danger, starts to like him enough to bring him onto the group its the last thing ren wants, but he NEEDS Money

----

aoba and sei grow up in gang stuff and sort of fall to the side of it. they sort of have their own thing as a duo bc sei bullied his way into it. sei wants to disband later though. his disinterested and finds it kind of immature since they’re older, but he does help people. he's making money being a designer and he thinks it's an silly thing to hold onto.

MIZUSEI: mizuki has been flirting with sei since forever. hes always thought sei was pretty and intelligent but aoba is sort of like a guard dog and doesnt think his scrappy friends should go after sei. its not a New or Uncommon thing for aoba’s friends to be wild about sei. mizuki manages to woo sei over by being himself though.

KOUAO: koujaku in this grows up to help kouji a bit more, so he and aoba are rivals at first (they meet a couple times), but koujaku finds it fun and playful and develops a slow crush on aoba but will fo anything for him in the end. he has trouble admitting it and hes afraid of being close to people, but aoba doesnt let him be alone very much. kou works for koujaku though and is sort of his inside man and used to be his assistant, but kou slowly sort of distanced himself for another career.

----

NOICLE: clear is noiz’s driver/butler/helper for his little crew. noiz sort of saved him and so clear treats him like royalty and is a perfect, typical chauffeur. he loves noiz very much but is rather private about everything. he simply likes being around noiz, and is extremely protective of him. since noiz cant sense moods or use charm, clear does it for him and accompanies him on all missions if he can, and they make it seem like the charm is coming from noiz. clear needs to wear bracelets at all times due to an irregular and very strong heat.

BENITORI: beni primarily works with noiz. shes a good bruiser and helps noiz with numbers and computer things. if clear is unavailable, beni helps with charm amplification. she’s also very good at extracting information, but she does have an incident where something goes awry and when she tries to escape, she is terribly injured and is appointed a personal physical therapist to help her with a leg injury. similar to clear though, beni also has to wear bracers. tori is cute and sweet and beni adores the more gentle attention.

NOBUKOU: nobu is active in the de augustine business and commonly dons different disguises. she meets kou, a dog trainer and friend to the shigures and de augustines at a gathering of the shigure family, scratch, and the de augustines and is totally smitten by the gentle dog-trainer. kou does NOT recognize nobu out of her disguises and even after knowing her a while has trouble recognizing her in disguises if she doesn’t let him know about them beforehand. she visits kou regularly though and goes right after him to date him

Friend’s Initial Impression Of DanganRonpa 2 Characters

So my friend who has a very eccentric mind and a unique sense of humor recently finished DR1 and is starting Dangan Ronpa 2. So I wanted to get his opinion and feelings on everything along the way. So he wrote this up just based off their picture and name, not even Ultimate talent.

Monokuma: The real villian behind DR1. His bear puns will increase, and his killings will be more imaginative and fitting for each deaths. Hes probably a real thing, but who knows, I still hate his guts, but thats probably what he wants.

Monomi: I hope she's hope to polarized the despair. If not shes probably a derranged rabbit thing. She's ready to have food for her children which consists of 1000 rabbits which the father is probably unknown til the last few chapters or ending credits.

Hajime Hinata: The Ultimate Tryhard- He's probably gonna try really hard. He is a model student and the most he's ever done bad is stepping on grass or cutting in line to get his favorite baked goods during school lunch. He'll be involved in every scenario and it is later revealed that he is the Ultimate Survivor, bet that hasn't been done right? Survivor, Non Killer.

Nagito Komaeda: The Ultimate Unhygenic- He is immediately casted as the weird one. He wants to be friends with everyone but he has a quirk that makes it hard to get close to him. He will be forever remembered for his long winded monologues about life, and he is likely a fan favorite because everyone can relate to him somehow. He will get accused of murder, and will likely get crushed in a stampede of humans in a Black Friday shopping because he ironically dies when people are selfish, but he at the same time got attention from people kind of. Dies in late chapters. Killer.

Chiaki Nanami: The Ultimate Merchandise Pusher- She is the best grill on this whole roster. Anyone that says otherwise is lieing to themselves. Sadly, she is so pure for this world that she will likely fall victim to something stupid or lame event. We will get to know about her favorite games and how selective she is with cake while window shopping. And after you get so used to her BOOM, a sideswipe. But its okay, I still adore her. She will likely die on her own accord because one of the other students refuses to give her a wifi password, and she can't complete her achievements and suffers. Dies In middle chapters. Victim.

Fuyuhiko Kuzuryu: The Ultimate Onomatopoeia- He is likely smug but don't let his looks fool you like it did to me. He's a well renowned actor and believes this DR2 is an elaborate plan to get him over the next new movie or DR3. If he can play any role, he can be in any movie. Check him out in Star Wars around Christmas time. He's gonna play a jerk that hits on all the characters, but we will find hes faced with a scenerio where he should adopt method acting and actually kill someone to gain experience. He will likely be killed through a filmstrip of all his past indie films and he finally gets his breakthrough role of being roadkill. Dies in middle to later chapters. Killer.

Ibuki Mioda: The Ultimate Hot Topic- She's in a band called Pollution Solution. She wants to prove to the world that anyone can play a kazoo if they tried hard enough. She has picked up a lead that a record label is pitching American Idol to make their return and she feels that this is her chance to shine. Sadly, all of her bandmates arent around, but what is this? Could she had broken away from her bandmates because of creative differences? Then all of a sudden she wants to be an idol, but it turns out to be a Love Live event. Frustrated that she can't express her music through normal means she decided to (pull the plug) on someone's life because they are doing better and more content than her. So she's all (amped) up. Her death will be unable to complete her lyrics with a feathered pen due to writer's block. Dies in later chapters. Killer.

Kazuichi Soda: The Ultimate Red Herring- I don't know. He looks like a jackass. He looks really insanely evil. Is this all part of the plan? I'm trying to stop drinking soda, but that won't make it any different from digesting his schemes. I'll let him play the victim I guess. But I've learned that looks isn't everything in this damn series, I'll likely get this all wrong. In one world he's the tutorial murderer in another hes a softspoken fellow that cares about his friends. Dies early on chapters. Victim.

Gundham Tanaka: The Ultimate Shining Finger- He looks like a stellar dude. Although he's probably a bit of a cold silent type. Or like one of those serious everything I say is a metaphor or haiku character. He's gonna be the one that's trying to collect intel of what's going on in the world, but gone too far. It looks like he likes animals, so someone they'll be turned against him because of the stupid puppetmasters/killer. Dies later chapters. Victim.

Byakuya Togami: The Ultimate Reddit Post- I refuse to believe this is the same Byakuya. So this one is likely a clone, a twin brother, same family, imaginary friend, stunt double, a robot being fed lines from the original so he doesnt have to play another twisted game because he has before. He is here for the fans, and causing some mess and chaos. He will have a quirk that comes up a couple of times, then after that it becomes a running joke. He will die in a double death if that rule still applies, and will be revealed as a plot device that can be purchased with Monocoins. Dies in the middle somewhere. Victim.

Mikan Tsumiki- The Ultimate Mummy- Look here. I didn't expect a support character like this in this messed up universe. However, she has something no other characters have. Thats an actual survival trait. In my world, shes gonna live forever. Shes too important for the future, she looks clumsy but not foolish. A mother figure? Or like, she might just do an accidental death on someone. I hate those kinds of death, but maybe I'm really hopeful right now. Please don't turn into a Yandere, this list consists of so many fallen people, we need someone to keep Hinata from staying past his bedtime. Free good guy vote. Survivor. Non Killer.

Hiyoko Saionji: The Ultimate Hired Hand for a Convetion Booth- Okay so, I don't know. She doesn't really scream evil or anything to me. She seems happy, she seems cheerful. Yeah she's a victim. She will die in the first few chapters. I can't see her passing that at all. I'm sorry, this game has made me numb lol. Victim.

Akane Owari: The Ultimate Spawn Child of Obvious Characters from DR1- She will fight and prove she is the best grill. With the ability of hand to hand combat, and underwater tactics. She will have a tough time making friends, but she will gain everyone's trust. She will likely be a joke for a bit with her build and figure, but she will get over that as well. Because she can do whatever she wants, and survive. Sadly though...I dont see her making it far, comes across as a misunderstanding to many people. But it wont be in vain. Victim, dies in middle to later chapters.

Nekomaru Nidai: The Ultimate You Have Got to be Kidding Me. I don't know how the majority of these characters can pass off as students. But thats fine, thats just how it is. Okay so he has weights and what not. I don't imagine him being a jerk jerk. Maybe misunderstandings and semi aggression so I can see him being accused of MANY things. But honestly, it the weirdest thing ever. But I can sort of see him..survive? I don't know, he seems like an obvious guy to hate, but like I don't see it any different from other characters. I think I have to learn more about him. He seems like a good right hand fellow. Also he will be into cats because of his name. I will be bold to say right now that he will live. Survivor. Non Killer.

Teruteru Hanamura: The Ultimate Cooking Papa: I think in this case. Hmm.....He will be a tired joke trope and everyone wants him dead. So he does us all a favor and kills someone to give us what we wants. He will be strapped to a cookpot as the entire oven explodes through over heating and food he's allergic to. Killer. Go away plz.

Sonia Nevermind: The Ultimate...I Forgot. Shes clearly a cosplayer. Shes gonna pose in differenet attires every chapter. She's gonna be involved in cases where a killer uses her clothes as false evidence. Shes also gonna have her own options menu where you can dress her up too, its gonna be so kawaii. She also cosplays because she forgot her own personality and shes shuffling through clothes to gain her memories back. She will also be a victim in all of this, because....nevermind. Victim. Dies later chapters.

Mahiru Koizumi: The Ultimate Wendys: Aye she looks extra adorable!!! She will live because of my will. If not, then I will fall into a deep tragedy. her camera's gonna be used as evidence because of this little shutterfly's curiousity she will obtain evidence that will sway the votes. Also, she looks like the resident tsundere, so I cant stop supporting her. But given my track records, I dont know you know what. SHES GONNA LIVE DAMN IT. SURVIVOR. CHIAKI AND MAHIRU SHOW OVA.

Peko Pekoyama: The Ultimate Unfortunate Initials: She looks sorta cool. Hmm, I don't know. Cool characters get a pass usually if they remain in the game long enough. She will either be the main evil person or a survivor. She will play mole and helper. She will play good cop and bad cop. I dont know damn. I will say shes gonna live, but she will play an important role in the game to some degree for the good or evil side. Survivor. Questionable antics. We shall see!
