Junko/Komaru

Hey friends, like this video if you think that manipulating your arch nemesis' cute younger sister into becoming your protégé through various atrocities is...kinda hot 😏

I'm gonna be real that's the whole basis for the ship. I'm not gonna pretend Komaru "normal mcnormal" wouldn't bore the shit out of Junko. I'm not gonna pretend Junko "ultimate despair" wouldn't scare the shit out of Komaru. But ooh. OOOH. the NARRATIVE IMPLICATIONS!!! the TOXIC RELATIONSHIPS!!!

I think making Makoto watch Junko and Komaru's wedding might be her single driving petty force to make this happen actually

Sayaka/Sakura

TBH one of my favorite parts of Sakura as a char is the fact that she wants to be really strong And wants to be feminine and wear pretty dresses. That combination of traits can lead to some really reductive "actually the beauty industry is feminist" thinking, and it's not something I would ever expect Danganronpa of all series' to do well on, but the way Sakura talks about really hits that deep yearning that girls with darker skin in particular often have to grapple with in feeling forcibly separated from femininity, and it really hits home to see Sakura yearning for that lost part of her identity

(disclaimer: this is not an argument that Danganronpa portrays colorism well. In fact, it portrays colorism very badly. And we are in particular ignoring the pre-martial arts training light-skinned Sakura design. Because holy shit. Wow. There's so much going on there)

This was a lot of waxing poetic on Sakura and not the relationship itself BUT I really truly think that the appeal of Sakura/Sayaka is in the chance for Sayaka to help Sakura get in tune of this side of her she so desperately yearns for. Sayaka's dream is built on helping other girls smile and feel more confident in themselves, and even if part of that is a facade for the camera, I think there's a truly intimate level of understanding that these two could have with each other as they grapple with their exposing experiences with femininity and what it means to them.

or, tldr: I THINK SAYAKA/SAKURA SHOULD GET TO BE THE MEME OF THE GIRL LEANING OVER ANOTHER GIRL DOING HRE MAKEUP IN A REALLY GAY WAY. AND IM RIGHT

※To avoid spamming artists, I will only @ them the first time their work shows up unless told otherwise. If you want to check all the art I used, check here!
