Thinking about DR1 chapter 1 again.

DR doesn't always have the best track record with women but god does it still do a lot well, especially in the first game. In the first chapter, where we still don't know what to expect in terms of character depth, I feel like Kodaka really takes advantage of that by having Maizono and Ikusaba seemingly play into misogynistic archetypes only to completely subvert them later.

Like, ah yes, here's the female deuteragonist that's starting to emotionally rely on the male protagonist despite seeming much more capable and self-driven than him*. Welp, there she goes being fridged for his manpain or something- hang on, she did what now? She was manipulating him to frame him and her dying message was partly made out of guilt?? Holy shit, where did her act end and her genuine desperation and fear begin??? Did she even know herself?????

And ah yes, an airheaded model character. There she goes doing something stupid and being killed for it; shame there wasn't more to h-FUCKING HELLO?????

They're some of the shortest-lived characters in the series but still have so much nuance to them, just like every other character in DR, if you put even a little effort into looking below the surface. And both of them feel designed to call out the player in targeted ways for reducing people to stereotypes.

*Not my actual opinion of their dynamic either to be clear! The entire series is about dissecting people more deeply than that, separating talent and various types of mental strength and humanising everyone equally. Naegi's the protagonist and Maizono snaps and dies first for a reason.

dating mukuro & sayaka

pairing: mukuro ikusaba x gn!reader x sayaka maizono

tags: polyamorous relationship, wholesome fluff, opposites attract

mukuro and sayaka couldn't be more different! one of them lives for public attention, is bright and bubbly, as well as incredibly popular, while the other one lurks in the shadows, is quiet and usually by herself and tries to keep her distance from others!

and yet, despite those differences, both girls ended up falling in love with you!

mukuro and sayaka only met each other at hope's peak academy! otherwise two girls as different as them likely would've never crossed paths…

it was at the same school that they met you and slowly fell in love with you! while mukuro kept her feelings for you a secret for a long time, sayaka was very open about her feelings for you!

mukuro always thought that sayaka would be the girl you'd end up picking and that she could only admire you from afar. but it was actually sayaka who helped mukuro get close to you and pushed for both girls to date you!

sayaka is usually the one taking the lead in the relationship! she's the one to take the first step, to make it easier for mukuro and you to take the second and third step right after her!

sayaka is also incredibly affectionate, both with you and mukuro! despite mukuro insisting at first that she doesn't need affection, sayaka sees through that lie and notices how touch starved mukuro is!

through sayaka, mukuro learns to not only open up to you, but she starts to realize a few things about herself too!

mukuro envies sayaka a lot, but her jealousy towards sayaka comes from a good place. mukuro is actually happy that she has someone to be jealous of, as that only means she has something to strive towards; to grow more confident and open, like sayaka!

over the course of your relationship, mukuro begins to smile more, open up to sayaka and you and realize what she wants out of life! she's improving right in front of your eyes, growing happier and more content with herself each day!

and all of that would've never been possible if it wasn't for the relationship the three of you are in…

Mukuro thinking about Which Shotgun should she Spend on...

(Even though she wants More Firepower, she still wants to Save more and probably get a Cheaper One...)

Junko Enoshima Headcanons despite hating her

-she constantly goes through multiple phases multiple times a month and then completely drops and forgets about them

-if she were invited to a wedding, she'd wear white (with a crown if shes petty enough)

-Junko knows multiple languages

-Her fashion was probably based off those girly flash games from when she was younger

-Junko is probably very good at thumb war

-She probably doesn't like/understand neopronouns and disrespects them :/

-She has burned some of Ikusaba's clothing if she thinks it looks ugly in her eyes

-Both Ikusaba and Junko are very picky about food

Best trait for a classmate to have?

love triangle with junko & mukuro

pairing: junko enoshima x gn!reader x mukuro ikusaba

tags: fiery rivalry, yandere behaviour, clingy & posessive girls

mukuro is convinced that she fell in love with you first and that junko only showed interest in you after she found out mukuro had a crush on you!

junko doesn't care about other people, not even about her own sister! if she wants something, she's ready to cross any line to get it! and sadly, she wants you now…

mukuro is already very assertive and ready to just cross a few lines to achieve her goal! but with junko as her romantic rival, she has to cross all the lines, to even have a slight chance to win you over!

both girls cling to you whenever they can! and they'll try anything in their power to keep you away from each other!

and both of them talk badly about each other too! though in mukuro's case, she just needs to tell you the truth about junko, while junko fabricates lies about mukuro, to get you to hate her!

there are even a few times where you suspect the two of you might even end up killing each other, just to finally end this love triangle! but they know each other too well and neither of them could land a hit on the other…

picking a girl wouldn't even end the love triangle! no matter who you choose, the other won't just give up that easily!

even if you were to date one of them, the other would simply try everything in their power to break you two up again…
