At least he finally knew what Daniel wouldn’t tell him: some sins left a permanent stain so dark even strangers could read their warning.

Man sometimes I’ll be minding my own business, feeling perfectly fine and then I’ll remember this one comic someone made (it was a gorgeous comic and I hold it very dearly in my heart) where basically Echo walked in on Crosshair causing some mischief and accidentally called him Fives.

And then I’m no longer okay.

I think my favorite flavor of satogou/shigegou is prolly

Ash having a crush on goh and like it's been there since somtime around when they first met but he's only just now realizing that his feeling arnt as platonic as he thought

And like this is after jn so they've already gone Separate ways and they won't see eachother in person for a while.

And then goh who had proably liked ash around maybe the ivysaur? I dunno haven't decided when his crush would have started but that not important just know he's had it pretty long

But he thinks ash doesn't feel the same wich i think could be a reason that he wanted to go on his own journey because he wants to get over his crush and being around him isn't going to really help with him getting over it? It's not his only reason but it's a part of it

So while he's on his journey him and Gary fall in love or whatever

So like by the time they do get to meet up again ash prolly knows by now that there goh and Gary are dating or he can tell they like eachother somthing like that

So he never tells goh cause he doesn't want to ruin there possible relationship for feeling that most likely arnt Reciprocated

And that's it hehe

Fanart of @ninja-knox-ur-sox-off’s Wobbly Hearts AU

I honestly don’t know how well you’ll be able to read my writing since it’s atrocious but hopefully you enjoy the art :D

I almost wrote a keyboard emoji heart but it looked strange on paper lol

The last three doodles are just me reacting to your fic. It’s so good ‼️‼️‼️

I tried to draw all the characters as close as I could get to the refs but I’m not super good at hyper realistic bodies so it just ended up being silly doodles 😅

Anyway I love your fic sm and I hope you like the fanart ❤️💕❤️💕

You know the fixation hits hard when it starts bleeding into real life.

It's not going to be dca because it's for a class, but I'm given a month long short story writing assignment and I'm basing the plot off of a witch encountering a fae...

SOUND FAMILIAR AHEM AHEM-

I really love all the fae fics I find in the dca fandom. Istg I never even knew of the folklore a year ago and now I'm just head over heels by it.

Thought my mom might get me a Mikey plushie. Instead, she got me The Last Ronin 😭. Sobbing, crying, throwing up this Christmas 😭.

She was like, "I don't know if you've already read it, but it's a comic all about Michelangelo 😊."

It's all about Michelangelo because all the other brothers are dead, Ma 😭. Hence the name of the comic. He's quite literally the last one standing 😭.

While I'm talking about DR3 and its handling of themes, does anyone else feel like danganronpa's ideas of 'hope' and 'despair' became a bit flanderised sometimes?

I could be reaching- the series has always been incredibly hammy in how it uses the terms- but in DR1 they still felt somewhat grounded in the words' actual definitions and in DR2 Komaeda fixating on an abstracted conflict between 'hope' and 'despair' was presented as a bad thing. Thinking 'hope' is synonymous with 'talent' was part of the problem, but even without that he'd feel like an intentional twisted parody of Naegi. He takes the thematic conflict between hope and despair too literally; to him the concepts were less states of mind, more grand causes, and so no amount of suffering became unacceptable to him if it made for a more interesting narrative in the end.

But sometimes later additions to the series... kind of sound like him? Maybe I should revisit DR3 and give it more of a chance, but I felt like the entire narrative approached 'hope' and 'despair' in some of the ways Komaeda does. Like it kept throwing those words at me as a substitute for actual depth, because hey, it's Danganronpa, right? That's what you're here for, right? Especially considering how little interest the writers showed in non-Ultimates besides Hinata as people, making 'hope' feel genuinely associated with talent to some degree.

Similarly, in DRV3, what did it mean for the survivors to reject both hope and despair? Stripped of those words, their choice was to break out of the narrative's control, not let their reality being potentially fake get to them, and face the unknown together. Is that not 'hope'? Is that not emotionally identical to both previous games' endings? Does that not make the game's use of 'hope' completely divorced from its meaning?

If the themes were handled more coherently I could see that being done intentionally- exploring whether the series started with a good message and lost its way, and/or asking whether 'hope' is hollow if your struggles, your eventual triumph over them, everything was contrived for others' entertainment- but I feel like if that was the case the DRV3 characters should reclaim hope and reject false definitions or exploitation of it instead of rejecting hope itself. Because again, with feeling, what does that mean???

IM NOT OKAY <:’[

Update: I’m reading a REALLY awesome angsty TF fic and now I’m attached. Like in an unhealthy way.

I’m so close to finishing it, but I’m stalling SO MUCH OH MY LAWRD. My heart HURTS my stomach ACHES and my mind is LOSING IT. I legitimately thought I wouldn’t get too invested in this because of how different it is compared to my previous preferences—

But apparently NOT.

I know I’m too far gone once I bring out TikTok every time something unbelievably gut-wrenching happens so my brain can properly rot before experiencing any more feels. Or else I will literally perish.

has this seemingly new crop of jackie/gigi shippers read predictable? i feel like it’s imperative they read predictable

jiji shippers (bearing in mind this was written while s12 was airing) go read predictable

[fdblaize]

check out this lovely fucking fic (by @ginkotracks) where deaged afo is taken in by yagi. I'm going insane with that premise omg
