#it would need to function differently

Fruits Basket/Danganronpa fusion where Tsumugi is Akito and the bond is that instead of having banquets together they keep playing murder games together.

But obviously they can't actually really kill people so they're just playing Clue the whole time.

Or.

They're compelled to kill each other based on the Curse, because if they succeed, they could be freed.

Where each of the members isn't a reincarnation of one of the Zodiac animals but is instead a reincarnation of one of the sixteen - maybe the Remnants, because it would make more sense for them to have agreed to be part of this.

Then Akito!Tsumugi is also Junko because she's the reincarnation of Junko. So she's both.

But.

Chiaki isn't a Remnant, so Matsuda would be the other person involved (like with Fruits Basket, it's not just the twelve Zodiac we know, it's also + the cat and + who Akito turns out to be (avoiding spoilers for reasons)).

BUT.

This means that Chiaki would likely be Tohru. Or take on her role.

Which means that Hajime/Izuru would most likely be Kyon.

But it still wouldn't be a direct one-to-one of Danganronpa characters as Fruits Basket characters because it's not 13 + 1, it's 16 + 1. But it would be less trying to parallel all of that and more adapting the Fruits Basket idea with the Danganronpa characters in a way that doesn't force them to be something else.

Also means that every Danganronpa character you see (probably V3 characters) would also actually be a previous incarnation (specifically the DR2 characters).

...which means Kyon can't just be Hajime/Izuru. He has to ALSO be a DRV3 character, because that's who we're interacting with.

In which case.

Whoever Matsuda is reincarnated as might actually be Kyon. Because that fits better with what the cat was to what Akito was (still avoiding spoilers).

Making Matsuda doubly cursed.

The question then would be how to get the ending that parallels what we see in Fruits Basket with Tsumugi.

And if the reincarnated Despair still can interact with the world or if it's just the image of them that changes, even though they themselves rarely actually surface.

....

16 +1 +1 - Akito and Junko/Tsumugi is a plus one, Matsuda takes the other +1 as an unexpected Despair (similar to Kyon as the cat), BUT the 16 also includes Mukuro, who is not a DR2 character—

....

Kyon's role also fits well with Mukuro but I think actually Mukuro would be Yuki. The rat is assumed to be the one with a special relationship with Akito, in the same way a Mukuro reincarnation would be assumed to be the one with a special relationship with a Junko reincarnation, based on, you know, Despair Twins.

But backstory shows the cat was actually the first and the reason the cat is doubly cursed is that he didn't want the eternal bond - which fits with Matsuda but also fits well with what little we see of Mukuro during her FTEs in DR1 (maybe our desires are supposed to change as we grow up, maybe I should have a new dream).

Except.

Would DR1, in this case, be the first time that the general world finds out about the constant reincarnation cycle? Or something else?

Hm. Thoughts.

A great thing about having a busted dopamine tank is that I can't be bribed into doing shit. No amount of offered reward could motivate me to do something I don't want to.

my favorite thing abt sqh is how much he just..lies. not even out of any malice or at times even necessitated discretion. he promises u everything, reliably delivers it—half bcs you'll have his head otherwise, half bcs he's an unwilling people's pleaser(..and terrified for his life)—and yet still. there's a genuine complicit sort of understanding within him, that all he says, he means half heartedly. everything in his life is so precarious, either physically, or in mental house of cards, that to give a word, a statement, a sentiment, with an internal genuineness would mean to put on stakes feelings that he has full faith in himself to never deliver on. its a constant form of lying that comes from self doubt, a house where nobody is there to listen to u in the first place to account u for it, a stage where everything is a demand and urs is a performance you think will cost u ur life if u fumble it once. the only promise he had ever intended to fulfill faithfully was to his king, and it was bcs he'd written it so. there's original goods sqh who'd betray his king for ambitions and purposes for his own gain and then there's our author god airplane, perfectly possessing the demeanour of the most snivelling, sycophantic-appearing man alive, never having one thought to betray his king, who, apart from being his favorite creation slash wet dream ofc, was also the keeper of the only role in sqh's life whom he offered himself to willingly (by not killing mbj) and then worked that position never intending to be anything else

Honestly, even without Art’s attempts at manipulation and sabotage, I don’t think Patrick and Tashi’s relationship would’ve survived anyway. Before they started dating, Patrick was criticizing her career plans and Tashi was never interested in entertaining his massive ego at her expense. Passion and chemistry are important to relationships, but if that’s the only foundation, it’s gonna crumble quickly.

The only difference between Patrick/Tashi vs Art/Tashi is that the relationship would’ve ending with a bang instead of a whimper.

I have the suspicion what the Cult of Murder wasn't very keen on healing/ had many healers around.

They probs had healing potions and scrolls and stuff, but do you think Durge would bother with them? Or would they, intimately familiar with the anatomy of the body, occasionally treat their own wounds with the cold precision of a surgeon?

What I have in mind is Durge casually sewing their own wounds shut with the first found rusty needle and something they deemed would suffice for a thread, Gortash seeing this horrific display and deciding enough is enough and taking the ordeal of healing this freak of an ally into his own hands.

Against all odds, we have survived. We're taking a university course now, because the government will pay us for it and we do need the money, but it has unfortunately been eroding at our sanity somewhat, and we are learning nothing that we don't already know. We are, however, getting money.

We have somewhat of a backlog on Discord at the moment, as it doesn't have a daily upload limit and also it's easier to stick things on while we are being told things that we already know by people who are phrasing in in ways we find significantly misleading or incorrect (note: we don't use apps for things the vast majority of the time and if we access Tumblr via browser it immediately fucks up our formatting on PC, which can last several months). We will, hopefully, be posting these soon, but all is dependant on if we can actually scare up the time between courses to conglomerate that and fix any formatting errors in thoughts and such.

If that will happen any time soon... good question! Every time that our work practicum teacher opens her mouth, we take points of physical damage, and we don't think she understands the fact that getting back after we walk to a place also involves walking. We've had a lot going on for a while now and very little of it has been good. We're on new meds, and if the gods prove merciful, we won't have to tolerate this particular clown show past March. If there is no mercy to be found, however, we might have to keep doing this until June, in which case you can probably expect the quality of this to take a sharp downturn as the short time we have already spent in this program is already having immediate and catastrophic effects on our mental health.

We do not recommend going to university in any circumstances, but we are unfortunately aware that it may be necessary to get such things as a fancy piece of paper saying you are employable. Additionally, we would tell you to calibrate your expectations for anyone with a degree lower, but apparently what we consider the basic level of knowledge you should know before saying anything on any topic is everyone else's "bachelor degree and a bit", so our estimations on what people think is a high degree of knowledge to have are probably also off.

Any donations go to the Fund To Compensate Us For Having To Correct A Teacher Multiple Times In A Lecture And Then Looking Up Her Sources Later And Discovering They Are Blatant Misinformation. We are very tired. Please do research on things before talking about them. Thank you.

Another personal take on today's Neo-liberalism-- how IT is the OTHER SIDE OF THE SAME COIN AS ALT-RIGHT WINGERS (ya know how "new age spirituality" is now becoming synonymous with CULTURAL APPROPRIATION and ABUSE APOLOGISM and NO ONE IS BATTING AN EYE ABOUT IT)....

Just saw a post from a "trans person" about how it's "ableism" to call out an abusive person who is IN THE HIGHER SPECTRUM OF NARCISSISTIC PERSONALITY DISORDER because "being a narcissist is a mental disorder"... are you fucking kidding me???

(fyi, mirroring is a form of MALEVOLENT manipulation - mirroring is something that a lot of ABUSIVE people in the HIGHER SPECTRUM OF NARCISSISTIC PERSONALITY DISORDER DO TO HARM OTHERS).

And I just smdh.... reactive liberalism will excuse anything these days.

...reminds me of American/"Western" kids who are groomed to think being "trans" is about ASSIMILATING to the hetero-normative PERSPECTIVE AND EXPECTATIONS of GENDER EXPRESSION.

it's the same type of oppressive heteronormativity???? (this is why I don't vibe with folks who say shit like "the youth today are kinder" -- NO THEY ARE NOT. they've become more SKILLED at mimicking societal conventions).

OPPRESSION TODAY HAS BECOME MORE INSIDIOUS.

Y'all really need to stop thinking in BINARY.

Just because someone's gay, doesn't mean they can't be racist, or classist, or oppressive??? Just like, just because someone adheres to the identity politics of "latinidad" or any other "non-white" identity doesn't mean they're "progressive"????

(I used to run decolonizeyourself.tumblr.com and decolonizeyourselfarchive.tumblr.com)

....Just because some "westerner" identifies as "trans" doesn't mean they know shit-all about "ableism"!

Please stop throwing around the word "ableism" whenever folks talk about ABUSE that are coming from a person with NPD.
