#meanwhile makoto and kyoko worked together

[review-anon]

Sooo uh, who do we decide who won the concert now? The couple that helped the most with saving the day?

Okay I think its apperant that since half of the people taking part in this are in medbay now, the other half are exhausted and nobody doesn't feel good about this anymore, we gonna have to cancel the concert.

Its sucks but what can you do about it? Nobody has the motivation to contiune anymore.

But then...who's won?

M-Maybe it should go to one of the two couples who didn't get brainwashed and helped save us all?

Yes that seems fair... so who are they?

If I recall its Naegi and Kirigiri and Sora and Kabuya who are ones ready for winning.

Hmmm....who to go for....

Well call me biased but I think Makoto and Kyoko should win this.

Hey that's not fair! You only voted for them because you're their classmate!

If that's how we gonna play this then I vote for Sora and Yoruko on that principle alone and Kanade does as well!

B-but Hibiki...

You are voting for Sora and Yoruko and that's final!

Eeekk...sorry Sis!

Hmmmm....Sora did get the Ego Suit off me...but why did she have to do it in a way that left me naked, plus what did Kabuya do?

Naegi and Kirigiri did way more effort then them so I vote for them!

I also don't think its fair to credit Sora where she did all the work and Kabuya didn't do anything.

A couple needs to be balanced after all, me and Clover provide each other and the same applies here. Naegi and Kirigiri were more in sync and contributing to each other's goals so I vote for them.

So it all comes down to me then? If I vote Naegi and Kirigiri they win, but if I vote Sora and Kabuya...what happens?

We...probably have to do something to break the tie.

I don't agree with the notion that just because Sora broke the spell, we give her the win, we should award it to the couple with the most effort put in.

Kana's been telling me who's freed who and Sora and Kabuya freed Ludenburg, Akamatsu, Jing and Mioda. Meanwhile Naegi and Kirigiri freed Nanami, Nishizawa, Tanaka and Maizono. So overall they freed the same amount of people.

But both Naegi and Kirigiri were able to function fine while Kabuya almost sucummbed to the music and if she did, she would have dragged Sora into it as well...so I think they lose points due to almost being brainwashed.

Thus I vote for Naegi and Kirigiri.

And thus its settled, the winners of the concert are...Makoto Naegi and Kyoko Kirigiri!

Ramble time about Makoto and a little mini headcanon I came up with cus why not B]

Sometimes, I like to believe that Makoto gets really deep into stuff. Basically him in his own little world, hyper-focused to the max such as him cleaning, research, planning. Stuff like that. In the peak level of him in this state, he'd go, burst into a room, rummage around for anything he might need, and leave all while anyone who was in the now ransacked room is just 100% ignored. Bursting into rooms with the determination of the Kool-Aid Man (def not the strength tho) Makoto doesn't even remember that there were people in the room either. He could have been in a room with 58 other people for instance and if you quizzed him on how many people were in that room he'd just blank out like "People? What people?" This applies to whoever he lives with as an adult as well as way back with his parent's and sister. I can see his parent's never getting why he'd zone out like this. Like, they've tried to get it cus they of course wanna understand this weird part about their oldest child. They never really succeeded with it though and just accepted it as one of his weird quirks. Meanwhile, Komaru teased the shit about it to him cus of course she would. After all, it's the little sister privilege to completely dunk on the older sibling. 'Tis the law. Plus, it's not like it's the biggest piece of ammo she has on her older brother. This is Makoto we're talking about after all. Also, cus why not, (might as well be a BIT self-serving hehehe) I'm slipping in my mini headcanon of Makoto, Kyoko, and Byakuya living together casually in the same apartment/small house. Plus, it's funny imagining these two experiencing Makoto's little moments like this. Feel Kyoko would be more used to Makoto basically forgetting her existence when he gets into these hyper-focusing grind moments. Even when she first learned about it, I doubt it'd affect her much. Like, what is she gonna do? Have a little grudge for a solid week and a half with her roommate and lowkey boyfriend? And, besides, what idiot would have a grudge going on for that lon- oh right... Byakuya exists. Yeah, unsurprisingly, the heir is the type to be petty as shit about something like this. Has 100% without fail been disappointed to some extent and bummed out whenever he gets ignored like this. Or ignored in general. At the end of the day, he's a bit of an attention whore (the bit taking it lightly) It's his tsundere way to act like a needy, bastard cat. He'd basically take it personally while Kyoko's shaking her head cus he's taking it personally and Byakuya's all like "Tch. Stop making the assumption I'm taking it personally" and they go back and forth about it during the week all while Byakuya side eyes Makoto who's very much not aware he's even done anything wrong. His little stunt only happened once that week and he doesn't even remember Byakuya being in the room with him while he was rushing about their living quarters looking for junk like some toothpaste and a hanger. And this goes on until the week ends until Byakuya's basically over it, Kyoko gives him the whole "I told you so" look which for her is just her regular expression but with one of her brows slightly raised which she may or may not be actively trying to raise it higher but can't cus that's as far as it goes. Also this is a common occurrence for them all at least once a month. Oh, and the week is the minimum amount of time for Byakuya to hold a petty grudge for and they've lasted way longer ^v^

Different Kinds of Futures...

Jabberwock Island, First Island Beach, 8:24pm...

...............

*Hajime looks out over the horizon on the beach, towards the ocean and beyond. As he feels the wind against his face*

There you are.

Oh, hey Makoto.

We’re all just about packed up. Kyoko wants us to sleep early so we can be rested and depart on time.

She’s kind of like a mom, I guess...

Hey, well someone has to be. Have you seen our group?

Which means, that’s the kind of kinks you get into. Eh, Makoto?

Wh-What the-?! Ack, agh, n-no! C-Cut it out!

Hahahaha! I’m just messing with you.

Eh heh heh heh... But still, I know I said this before, but I am still really proud of you guys.

The way you all worked together towards this. In the killing game and here, you’ve shown a solid bond that’s not deterred by despair or any other actions.

Well it’s thanks to a certain someone, that we’re here now anyway. *Hajime messes up Makoto’s hair and pats him*

H-Hey...! C-Cut it out...!

But even still, I’m still really happy. I’m grateful to guys for helping us out. And I’m sorry for putting you in this situation.

Meh, it was my choice anyway... You don’t have to feel too bad.

And...to be honest... I’m still kind of kicking myself for the stuff I did...

For being so stubborn to a lot of people here, for the mess I essentially caused around the world....and for....not listening...

*Hajime takes out Chiaki’s pin from his pocket....*

It’s....going to be things I have to live with from here on out...

Yeah. I hear you there...

I’m still plagued by all the decisions I made back in my own killing game, and what I could have done happened if I did things differently...

But honestly, none of that matters anymore. I can’t be shackled down by thoughts of “what has been”

Instead, I’ll focus on what I can do in the here and now! Alongside everyone!

That sounds good. You’re really wise, you know that?

Oh please, don’t say that... I’m just really optimistic is all...

So. You ready to work towards that future.

Yeah. This is our future. A future for us.

*Hajime and Makoto both look out towards the ocean, determination in their eyes...*

[paperbooart]

hiii omg its so nice to see another person who likes togiri!! there is sooo little content of it its honestly devastating lol….id be rly interested to hear if you had any spare thoughts or hcs abt them (or naegirigami) :3 also your art is phenominal, i love your style and the way you portray everyone is soooo ….<333!

HEEHE THANK YOU boy do i have thoughts about probably most things relating to dr1

this is going under a readmore because oh my god

togiri is so interesting to me because like.. of course naegiri was the first ship to grow on me, how can it not, and naegami is also just kind of like. an obvious decision to me. like pairing a normal nice functional cheerful little dude with a cold unfeeling weirdo who he hangs out with a lot just works every time. it’s about the CONTRAST. so when i started liking naegirigami it was definitely mostly because i just liked both makoto ships, but eventually i really started thinking about byakuya and kyoko. 

i think the first togiri thing i really thought about was, weirdly, the moment i think they were at their worst, which was when kyoko got makoto executed. like when i rewatch that trial, especially the anime version, the amount of hands byakuya throws because he completely refuses to believe makoto is the murderer meanwhile kyoko has to keep pushing that he is… on the one hand byakuya is half right and if he’s wrong he’ll die. so him defending makoto you can fully read as him doing whatever he thinks he has to in order to survive. but the fact is makoto and kyoko both had large windows of time during which they were unaccounted for, but byakuya suspected kyoko from the beginning. 

byakuya in the later chapters is so interesting to me even though his character development is so subtle i sometimes feel insane pointing it out. but it is extremely sad that he makes his big ‘i’m not going to play the game anymore i’m going to work with everyone to get out of here and kill the mastermind’ announcement in chapter 4 after being forced to reevaluate everything, and then immediately he is thrown into a situation where he has to distrust the others once again. 

the fact that he is so angry at kyoko for refusing to explain what she’s doing all the time by herself, and seemingly refuse to disclose her talent, is because he wants to trust her. but he can’t. and then him lashing out at kyoko and taking her room key is what ends up allowing her to pass the guilty verdict off to makoto since she can claim she couldn’t get in her room. byakuya what have you wrought. 

anyway so i mostly think chapter 5 was a naegami win, but i started thinking about like. the time between makoto falling into the abyss and kyoko following him. i cannot remember if i read a fic like this already but like…i imagine kyoko goes to talk to byakuya before she leaves. she knows if she and makoto both end up dead, byakuya is kind of the group’s leader in their absence, so she might want to let him know. 

so here’s the question. does byakuya, still confused and bitter about having to vote for someone he didn’t believe would kill anyone, give a shit that kyoko might be about to die? i think on the outside he has nothing to say to her at this point, but on the inside he’s started to realize he does care about these people and he doesn’t want to lose another one. but the possibility of getting makoto back means he won’t do anything to stop her. 

so what i’m saying is. it’s because of makoto’s execution that byakuya hates kyoko the most he ever does, but it’s also because of losing makoto that he realizes he doesn’t want to lose kyoko either, even when he still can’t trust her.

UM on a lighter note togiri is fun because sometimes byakuya is very stupid and kyoko is like how do you still think that you’re as smart as me? what is wrong with your brain you foolish man? and kyoko is wayyy better at hiding her emotions and never outwardly reacting to things than byakuya is. like imagine them doing anything together in a casual setting. 

like you know the school mode dialogue where byakuya doesn’t know what the toy vending machine is and demands makoto explain it to him? that’s adorable but imagine the togiri version of that. byakuya (understandably) kind of views makoto like a golden retriever, like he’s not trying to keep his guard up around him because he cannot imagine makoto posing a threat. but he absolutely can imagine kyoko posing a threat, whether to his life or his dignity. so if he’s ever in a situation with kyoko where he has to ask her to explain some commoner thing to him, he’s trying way harder to act calm and collected about it, but she sees RIGHT through him because he’s a dummy who thinks he can have a facade up around a detective. 

so i think from byakuya’s side of things togiri is about him learning to trust kyoko and learning that she is kinder than she lets on (even if she will make fun of him, more than makoto would, for not knowing basic shit, she’ll still explain things to him and not embarrass him too much because she doesn’t actually enjoy making people feel dumb) and he can start to let his guard down around her even when her being smarter than him AND having her emotional shit together better is frightening to his weird rich brain. 

from kyoko’s side i think byakuya interests her for the same reasons i think he’s interesting as a character. his actions are absolutely batshit sometimes, but in a twisted way they do make sense. he’s a weird rude mystery. but boy does kyoko enjoy a mystery. byakuya’s not going to just tell her his backstory like he does to makoto, again makoto is basically a therapy dog, so kyoko has to start figuring him out. during the killing game figuring out this one weirdo’s motivations is not her highest priority, but i think afterwards when they start working together and she has to have a strong understanding of who’s on her side, she would start questioning him the same way he questioned her during the game. and like before but flipped around, this is happening because she wants to be able to trust him. (if you think i’m implying from this series of events that byakuya starts to fall for kyoko long before she is interested in him at all: you are correct.) 

and i think kyoko, once she starts to trust him, does appreciate a lot of byakuya’s qualities, like the fact he is so sure of himself nearly all the time. again, i think byakuya’s not as good at faking anything as kyoko. i think his arrogance is real and most of what he says is exactly how he feels. (MOST of it. obviously he has his funny obvious tsundere ass moments occasionally.) meanwhile kyoko has to fake her confidence constantly. my interpretation of her character is she isn’t very socially outgoing, so combined with her severe amnesia, literally her confidence in her abilities being erased from her mind, that’s why she needs makoto to help carry the trials during the killing game. she is always calm but she is always hiding. she has to fake the confidence that byakuya was born with. so what i’m saying is byakuya is the one to be like ‘excuse me she asked for no pickles’ 

another potential area i wanna think about re: togiri is just the topic of their families, particularly their fathers, but also their family legacies that they both carry. kyoko is the detective her father didn’t want to be. byakuya is the heir who fought and won his place just like his father. kyoko was abandoned because her father didn’t want to be part of the chain and she resents him for it. byakuya went through a situation that was in his mind comparable to the killing game because he wanted so badly to be the next link in the chain. kyoko came to hope’s peak to see her father again and found him dead, and byakuya came to hope’s peak as his family’s representative and then was told he was the last one living. 

so um yeah i’m just gonna stop here i think that’s most of my thoughts currently this was..a lot LOL thank you for giving me an excuse to ramble

Hope - Fuyuhiko Kuzuryuu x Reader

Summary: You try to recover the Ultimate Yakuza from despair, but things don’t go as planned when you begin to develop feelings for each other.

It had been a while since Makoto Naegi had recruited you. You had become close friends after surviving the Killing Game of Hope’s Peak Academy together, along with Aoi Asahina, Kyoko Kirigiri, Toko Fukawa, and Byakuya Togami. Makoto had a plan to save the Remnants of Despair using the Neo-World Program, and he needed your help to develop the technology. You worked alongside him and Alter Ego in order to create the program, and during the development, Makoto asked you to have sessions with the Remnants in order to learn more about the psychological trauma that Junko Enoshima and Mukoro Ikasaba had inflicted upon them. So, against Future Foundation orders, you had been secretly meeting with the Remnants in an undisclosed location unknown to your boss, Chairman Tengan.

Your primary subject was none other than Fuyuhiko Kuzuryuu. 

Initially, you seemed to make no progress with him. He would open up a little, only to go right back into despair. During your first session, he merely grinned while you asked him about Junko and the despair he helped her spread. 

“Fuyuhiko Kuzuryuu… the Ultimate Yakuza, and former student of Hope’s Peak Academy,” you stated, reading his file. You sat across from him, a table between the two of you. He was handcuffed to his chair, as a precautionary measure.

“Damn right,” he replied, despair swirling in his one eye, the other being covered up by his eyepatch. 

“You, along with the other despairs, have killed so many… do you feel regret?” You asked, carefully. You leaned forward in your chair, eager to hear his response.

“Regret?” He asked back, before laughing. “Hahahaha, why would I regret killing any of those bastards?  Death is natural for the weak, it’s survival of the fucking fittest!”

“Was Natsumi weak?” You asked, with a cold tone. Suddenly, you watched a thousand emotions flash through his eye. Shock came first; his eye widened at the mention of his beloved sister.

“Natsumi…” he muttered quietly, as though it was the first time in a long time that he’d thought of her. A sadness took over his expression, and for a moment you thought there might be tears welling up in his eye, but just as quickly as it had come, the sadness dissipated and was quickly replaced by despair.

“My sister….my little sister…. Natsumi…” he continued muttering, “her death…. brought me so much despair! So much glorious despair! Hahaha!”

He was gone again, his mind consumed by despair once more. It didn’t matter, you had seen it. For even just a moment, you had seen genuine emotion in him, and you knew then that there was hope for not only him, but for all the Remnants. You wondered if you could get him to show emotion again…

“Despair?” You asked. “Is that why you killed Sato? Because you wanted to feel despair? Or, maybe you wanted to make Mahiru feel despair?”

At the mention of Sato’s name, you watched as pure rage flashed across his face.

“That fucking bitch...Sato!” he exclaimed. “Despair had nothin’ to fuckin’ do with it...I had to kill her, for Natsumi…”

You watched his rage bleed into sadness as he continued. “Natsumi… she came to Hope’s Peak for me… she wanted to be the Ultimate Little Sister… she should have been the Ultimate Yakuza, and everyone knew it. She would have been a better heir to the Kuzuryuu clan, but…”

He trailed off then, as if the rest were too painful to remember. You reached across the table, and placed your hand on his.

“I’m sorry for your loss, Fuyuhiko.”

He said nothing then, just stared blankly in front of them. Despair and hope were waging a war within his mind, and it was all you could do to pray for hope. 

Over the past few weeks, you felt as though you had made significant progress bringing Fuyuhiko back to the side of hope. You began to think that the Neo-World might not even be necessary; perhaps you could bring the Remnants back to their former selves without erasing their memories of despair.

What you did not know was that Fuyuhiko had a plan of his own: to convert you to the side of despair.

With each session, he felt himself growing closer to you. He wanted you to feel the chaos of despair, just as he did. 

You would never admit it, but you felt yourself growing closer to him as well. You hated yourself for it: it was unprofessional, it was wrong, Naegi was counting on you, how could you let yourself get distracted?

You recalled your last session with him; you’ve been encouraging to recall his memories of being a student of Hope’s Peak.

“Kazuichi was obsessed with Sonia,” said Fuyuhiko. “Still is, I guess. The bastard was always fuckin’ following her around. ‘Suppose she liked Gundham better though.”

Ah, Gundham. You had met with him a few times, but he would always start shouting about “unleashing pandemonium” on you, so your sessions with him were few and far between.

“But that Teruteru bastard was even worse than Kazuichi,” he continued. “That pervert would fuck anything with a pulse!”

You laughed then, and Fuyuhiko began to laugh too. Sitting across from you, with his hands bound to the chair, he had nothing to do other than stare at you and admire you. It dawned on him that he loved the sound of your laughter, it brought him hope. But before long, despair settled in again, and he felt a strong desire to hurt you: he loved the sound of your laugh, and so he longed for the despair he would feel at the sound of your screams. He could imagine himself standing over you, with a revolver in his hand, listening to you beg and cry for your life. The despair it brought him to imagine you in pain was absolutely glorious.

Meanwhile, you considered how different the Remnants were now, compared to Fuyuhiko’s classroom stories. You had to ask about it once more.

“Fuyuhiko, I just don’t understand. It seems like after Yukizome became your teacher, all of you were filled with hope… it just doesn’t make sense, how you’ve all ended up like...this… Please, tell me, what did Junko do to you all?”

He ignored your question almost entirely, simply grinning before repeating your words back to you. “After Yukizome became our teacher, heh...Chisa Yukizome…Hahahaha!”

You didn’t understand. What was so funny, you wondered. It was impossible for you to know that Chisa Yukizome herself, your esteemed colleague, was also a Remnant of Despair, and had participated in turning the students into Remnants.

“Please, Fuyu,” you begged softly. “I want to help you, I want to fill you with hope. Tell me what filled you with despair, so I can reverse it…”

“I can’t tell you… but I’ll show you,” Fuyuhiko said slyly. You didn’t have time to consider what he meant, because in a flash he rose from the chair, bounds undone. You hadn’t noticed him freeing himself, he must have distracted you with his stories in order to free himself without raising suspicion. He brandished a sharp object in his hand, and you wondered if he had crafted a makeshift knife out of a utensil given to him earlier.

“Fuyu…?” You asked, terrified. In seconds, he had thrown the knife across the room and directly into your chest. It cut deep, and the pain of the wound and the betrayal burned deep. Blood began to pour from your chest, painting your crisp white shirt a bright magenta pink.

He rushed to your side, and you could see genuine pain in his expression, despite the despair that swirled in his eyes.

“Watching you die… will bring me so much...despair!” He murmured, as he wrapped his arms around you and pulled your dying body closer to him. “Seeing you in pain… pain that I inflicted… makes me feel so hopeless…!”

“F-fuyu… please,” you gasped, before coughing up blood. It was pointless; your words could no longer reach him. Any pleading only pushed him further into despair. The hopelessness of the situation filled you both with despair.

Suddenly, the door swung open, and there you saw Makoto, Toko, and Kyoko. 

“Y/N?!” Makoto exclaimed, shocked at your injuries. At the sight of your blood, Toko fainted immediately, and then awoke as Genocide Jill. Using her detective skills, Kyoko quickly connected the dots between Fuyuhiko being free from his bounds and your injury.

“Genocide Jill!” Kyoko called out. “Apprehend the Remnant.”

Using her scissors, it was easy for her to pin the yakuza to the wall, although Kyoko did have to restrain her from killing him, as Genocide Jill was eager to kill the “adorable little man.”

Makoto had already rushed over to you, picking you up and carrying you out of the room.

“Don’t worry Y/N, you’re going to be okay! I’ll get you help, okay? Just stay with me,” Makoto said, trying to keep you calm. “I’m glad I came when I did.”

“Perfect… timing,” you mumbled, barely audible. “You...really are… the Ultimate...Lucky Student.”

Makoto chuckled, still carrying you out of the room. Over his shoulder, you could still see Fuyuhiko, who Kyoko was interrogating. Maybe you were delirious from the blood loss, but he almost seemed relieved that you were being saved; it was as though he were hopeful you would survive.

                                                       LATER

The Neo World Program was successfully completed. Despite it being hijacked by Izuru Kamakura, a few of the Remnants were able to survive the Killing School Trip, and now it was time for you, Makoto Naegi, Kyoko Kirigiri, and Byakuya Togami to enter the simulation for yourselves, in order to prevent Alter Ego Junko Enoshima from spreading despair to the entire world.

It had been a while since you had seen Fuyuhiko, and although you had physically recovered from your injury, you hadn’t recovered from his betrayal. He had tricked you, manipulated you, and then tried to kill you. Of course, he had been under the influence of Junko’s despair, and you would be lying if you said you didn’t still care for him. You wanted to save him, you wanted hope to win the battle against despair within his mind

When you entered the simulation and appeared at the class trial ground, you were incredibly shocked to see the version of Fuyuhiko that stood before you. He was filled with both hope, and despair. His heart was full of hope, full of love for his sister Natsumi and best friend Peko and classmate Chiaki, but also full of despair, from the grief of losing them.

Initially, he was willing to side with despair, to let Junko take over, if it meant he would get to see his best friend, Peko. You couldn’t let that happen, you couldn’t allow despair to consume him again.

“Fuyuhiko, please!” You begged, causing him to focus on you; he remembered you slightly, you had been in the 78th class of Hope’s Peak Academy while he had been in the 77th. “I...I know you don’t remember me, but I remember you. And I’ve seen hope in you, Fuyu. Please, don’t fall into despair. Choose hope. For Chiaki. For Peko. For Natsumi. Please, choose hope for me.”

He could not remember you, but upon seeing you plead for his hope, he felt something. A connection. A sense of deja vu. He knew that, in the real world, you must have been something to him, something important. 

“Y/N…” he muttered, allowing your name to flood his mind. Hearing your name escape his lips, it filled him with hope. “I… I choose hope! Let’s end this fuckin’ killing game!”

And so, Hajime, who had remembered his other identity of Izuru, ended the killing game, and the surviving Remnants woke up, cured of their despair. 

It pained you to see the others, who had remained comatose. You had faith in Hajime, who declared that he would use the talents he had gained from becoming Izuru in order to save the other Remnants. 

After the simulation ended, you reunited with Fuyuhiko.

“Y/N… you saved me. You gave me hope, when I was filled with so much fuckin’ despair,” he said. “Even though I hurt you… you still believed in me… but I don’t deserve your forgiveness. Not after what I…”

He looked at you, wincing when he noticed your visible scar from his attack.

“Fuyuhiko, please, there’s nothing to forgive you for. It wasn’t your fault, it was Junko’s.”

“Junko,” he said through gritted teeth. “That fuckin’ bitch. If she wasn’t already dead, I would fuckin’ kill her. Because of her despair, I… I wanted to hurt you… so that I could feel the despair of seeing someone I.. someone I love… in pain.”

A blush came across his face as he finished, and for a moment, you couldn’t believe what you heard.

“S-someone… you love..?” You asked.

“Don’t fuckin make me say it again, Y/N…!” He was visibly embarrassed, refusing to make eye contact. You were sure this was the happiest day of your life, Fuyuhiko had been cured of despair, and confessed his love for you. You were absolutely speechless, so he spoke again.

“Should’ve done this a long fuckin’ time ago,” he said, before his hand on your waist and pulling  you into a passionate kiss.

Hc that Class 78 has game nights

Sometimes they play heads up... Okay So™️

Sayaka gets the answers before anyone even says anything, and gives her little “I’m psychic” spiel for funsies

Really there’s just a mirror, a monitor, a tv screen, or a really shiny window that she saw the text in behind everyone and they hadn’t figured it out yet

Yahtzee was banned bc Celeste kept winning with an unfair advantage

Monopoly was banned for a number of reasons:

Celeste and Byakuya in general

Celeste and Byakuya played the fuck you im rich card every round and somehow it worked

Mondo, Taka, and Leon had a yelling match over the rules and specifics of the get out of jail free card

CLUE was also banned

Kirigiri figured everything out too easily

Makoto wasn’t getting anywhere

Byakuya fucked messed w the Who, What, Where cards every round

Whenever Makoto had the WWW cards it was always Mr Green in the library w the candle stick

They can’t even play UNO at this point

They settled on Mario Kart at one point and it came down to Taka vs Chihiro (idk who would win)

Among Us would be interesting but they didn’t care too much about it

Sayaka mains Peach and Leon mains Daisy I do not accept criticism/jjj

oh absolutely??? and HHSBSBD SAYAKA U FCKN CHEATER IM SNDBSNDBDNW she totally DOESSS

They can play hidden role games Exactly Once before it gets boring because Celeste always wins there’s literally no beating her (unless ur kirigiri. but then it turns into less of a class game night and more of a “Celeste and Kyoko are playing cat and mouse and the rest of us are sitting here with our thumbs up our asses trying to use a goddamn strategy that keeps getting fucked up” night)

Celeste’s advantages at yahtzee include both being the ultimate gambler and also actually being able to do math (hdbsbsbdbdbd everytime Leon, Hiro, or Mondo sees a game that heavily involves numbers or calculating or anything like that, they all just begin frothing at the mouth and black out for a good two hours or so /j)

MONOPOLY IS HELL AND ALSO AGAIN A LOT OF THEM ARE ABSOLUTE SHIT AT MATH IT 100% DEVOLVES INTO SCREAMING AND ARGUMENTS AND ACCUSATIONS WITHIN HALF AN HOUR HSNSBSSB

Card games are straight out of the question

Surprisingly, Kyoko has an unfair advantage with card games, too, because she knows her classmates well enough to be able to pick out their tells for when they’re lying (the only person she even remotely has trouble with is Celeste (and Ouma, but we’re not talking abt him rn) but again it just turns into a game of cat and mouse because Celeste is just as perceptive to when she’s being scrutinized or figured out or the like) so again Celeste/Kyoko powerhouse dynamic where it’s just. them trying to figure out what the fuck is going on in the other’s head

ALSO YEAH NO CLUE HSNSSHSNSB THEY’RE RUNNING OUT OF GAMES AT THIS POINT SMDH

Uno is hell and Junko is the only one who ever even remotely enjoys it (she has a HELL of a time watching all of her classmates’ relationships crumble into pieces)

YES YES YES TAKA V. CHIHIRO MARIO KART?? FAVE??? Headcanon that Taka actually rlly likes the game and plays it to de-stress pretty often, so he’s, like, pretty damn good at it, meanwhile Chihiro literally hangs out with the Ultimate Gamer at nearly every interval she’s not interacting with her own class? IMMOVABLE OBJECT VS UNSTOPPABLE FORCE HSNSBDN it’s a 50/50 toss-up ngl 👀

luckily tho Mario kart is one of the only games that they can all play together??? and nobody gets genuinely mad thank god??

AND HSBSVSV YEAH ABSOLUTELY??

I think Sayaka and Leon both saw Peach and went “MINE” because. they hate each other bshsbdbsbdb /j so they had to play Rock Paper Scissors to determine who would get to play her first

Leon lost, obv, and took Daisy. and then after a single round playing as her he was immediately like “ok u know what actually?? this is pog I love this funky orange princess lady”

also Makoto mains the male animal crossing villager because it looks like him 😌

Among Us 👀 I can’t get into this one because I would ramble about literally everyone’s play tactics, strategies, and tendencies but yes it’s something they play once in a while, but as u said doesn’t elicit particularly strong emotions from anyone

Danganronpa: Trigger Happy Havoc hypothetical reimagining

(NOTE: The intention of this post is that the universe is the same but the twists and deaths are different. Think of this as the “Dead Rising 2: Off the Record” of the series) 

CHAPTER 1

The story starts off following the original game fairly closely. You play as Makoto Naegi, a high schooler who was accepted into the elite Hope’s Peak Academy after his name was pulled from a random drawing. However, the game quickly goes south when the students are forced to kill each other by a demonic figure known as Monokuma. (side note: Mukuro is part of the class, there is no 16th student mystery for this version of the story)

Where the story diverges is the day of the trial. Instead of waking up as Makoto, you wake up as Mondo Owada, who takes over as the main protagonist for the rest of the game. As it turns out, the victim of the first chapter is...Makoto. He was apparently stabbed to death while he was sleeping.

During the class trial, as another major divergence from the original story, Mondo deduces that the blackened is Kyoko Kirigiri. Even though Kyoko claims the class is making a mistake, ultimately all the evidence points to her, leading to the class voting her as the blackened. 

Kyoko’s execution: In a demented waterpark, Kyoko is sent down a slide into a pool of gasoline. The pool is set on fire, killing her instantly (she’s burned to death as a reference to her burned hands). 

Despite surviving the trial, Mondo feels that there’s something they overlooked in the case. Kyoko had no motivation to kill Makoto and it seemed like she was genuinely telling the truth when she said she was innocent. This will come back in the final trial. 

(Eliminated: Makoto Naegi, Kyoko Kirigiri. 14 students to go)

CHAPTER 2

Motive for this round is the same as before (embarrassing secrets/memories). Initially, the story follows the original game’s events as before. Chihiro tells Mondo that he’s a boy and Mondo accidentally got his brother killed. However, unlike the original game, Mondo calms himself down and Chihiro is able to talk to the group about his true gender. 

The victim of this chapter is Junko Enoshima, who was beaten in the head. Side note, since Kyoko is dead, Mukuro Ikusaba steps up as the deuteragonist of the story. Compared to Makoto and Kyoko’s relationship in the original game, Mondo and Mukuro have a more turbulent working partnership. They agree to work together in order to find out what’s going on in Hope’s Peak Academy but they don’t trust each other in the slightest.

The class trial mostly follows the original game. Toko Fukawa is initially suspected as Junko’s killer due to her Genocide Jack persona. However, instead of Byakuya being the one to complicate the crime scene by pinning the crime on Genocide Jack, it’s Celestia Ludenberg (her motive in doing so is to make the game more fun, same as before).

The reason why Byakuya’s role was changed for this chapter is because he’s the blackened. It turns out, according to Mukuro’s testimony, Junko Enoshima was planning on murdering a student to avoid having her secret be exposed (her secret: Junko Enoshima stole from her sister’s finances in order to support her modeling career). Side note, Junko is not the Ultimate Despair in this universe, she’s only the Ultimate Fashionista.  

Junko tried to kill Byakuya and failed in her attempt when Byakuya killed her in self-defense. Unfortunately for him, even though it was in the heat of the moment and Junko forced his hand, Byakuya is still the one responsible for Junko’s death. 

Byakuya’s execution: Byakuya is thrown into a massive vault filled with gold bars and coins (representing his wealth). He breaks every bone and organ in his body on impact. 

(Eliminated: Junko Enoshima, Byakuya Togami. 12 students to go)

CHAPTER 3

Motive for this round is the same as before ($10 million dollars). As a divergence from the original story, Mondo and Mukuro confront Celeste when they realize she’s the most likely to kill for the money. Celeste confirms this and details her plans to buy a European castle, but then claims she won’t be killing anyone as she realizes she’s the most suspicious after her actions in the previous trial.

Also, as before, Alter Ego is introduced in this chapter. This time, Chihiro is the one to introduce Alter Ego to the group.  

The victim of this trial is Hifumi Yamada, who died after consuming poison. During the class trial, Mondo and Mukuro struggle in determining who among the group needs the money the most. 

Mondo and Mukuro both agree they don’t need the money. Yasuhiro claims he’s rich from his psychic business. Celeste reaffirms that she wouldn’t kill anyone this round due to the previous trial. Toko claims she’s made a fortune from selling her stories. Chihiro, Leon, Aoi, and Kiyotaka say they are well-off enough and have no interest in the money. Sakura only cares about her dojo. Sayaka is well-off thanks to her pop idol career. 

In addition to breaking down the crime scene, part of the trial is determining who is lying about their financial status. Throughout the trial, Mondo and Mukuro are able to prove several people lied about not needing the money. For example, Leon Kuwata confesses that he might be broke after choosing to not pursue a successful baseball career. In addition, Kiyotaka confesses he was tempted by the money in order to break away from his family. 

Ultimately, the biggest confession comes from Yasuhiro Hagakure, who is eventually proven to be the blackened of this round. It turns out, Yasuhiro is flat broke and is deep in debt. Tempted by the cash prize, Yasuhiro poisoned Hifumi’s breakfast hoping that his crime was sneaky enough to avoid suspicion. 

Yasuhiro’s execution: Yasuhiro is placed inside a giant crystal ball. Suddenly, a giant Monokuma appears and picks up the crystal ball. Monokuma then crushes the ball with its hands. 

(Eliminated: Hifumi Yamada, Yasuhiro Hagakure. 10 students to go)

CHAPTER 4

Motive for this round is the same as before (traitor is revealed). As another divergence to the story, the traitor is Kiyotaka. Same as the original game, the students slowly start to fall apart due to the reveal of the traitor. Asahina and Sakura are angry that Kiyotaka has been working with Monokuma while Mondo and Mukuro try to protect him in order to avoid further discord. 

The victim of this trial is Kiyotaka Ishimaru, who was killed by extreme heat exposure from the sauna. The class trial for this round is a bit complicated. As an inverse of the Sakura Ogami trial, the group suspects that Kiyotaka commited suicide in order to prevent any further discord among the group. Mondo even claims that Kiyotaka killed himself for redemption. Monokuma teases this suicide theory when he says that he ordered Kiyotaka to kill a student and that Kiyotaka may have chosen himself.

However, Mukuro points out the errors in this theory due to the circumstances of Kiyotaka’s death. First off, Kiyotaka chose an especially brutal form of suicide when there were easier, less painful ways to die available. Mondo then points out that, based on how the crime scene was laid out, Kiyotaka was locked in the sauna from the outside. 

As the group digs deeper into the evidence, Mondo and Mukuro eventually come to the conclusion that Kiyotaka was murdered and that the murderer attempted to arrange the scene to make it look like Kiyotaka committed suicide.

And the one responsible for all of this is...Sayaka Maizono. Sayaka says that, despite her friendly demeanor, she’s been planning on escaping since the first chapter. When Monokuma revealed Kiyotaka as the traitor, she immediately began planning Kiyotaka’s “suicide”. When Mondo asks why she did it, Sayaka says that she wants to know what happened to her fellow idols and that she still has nightmares from the first chapter’s motive.

Sayaka’s execution: Sayaka is performing onstage with some random J-pop girl group. Suddenly, the group turns on Sayaka and proceeds to beat Sayaka to death with the items on the stage (microphones, guitars, mic stands, etc.) 

(Eliminated: Kiyotaka Ishimaru, Sayaka Maizono. 8 students to go)

CHAPTER 5

This chapter greatly diverges from the original. This time, there are two mysteries that make up this chapter and the final one; the identity of Monokuma and re-opening the Makoto Naegi case. Mukuro says that she believes Kyoko Kirigiri was framed and that whoever is behind Monokuma felt threatened by Kyoko. Mondo asks why the mastermind would feel threatened and Mukuro reveals that before she died, Kyoko spent all her time exploring the academy. Mukuro says that she still has Kyoko’s notes and that she wants to finish what Kyoko started.

Meanwhile, Toko Fukawa is becoming more and more unhinged. Without someone she can call “master”, she starts planning on murdering someone, even if there is no motive for the round. So unlike the original game where Genocide Jack was more of a comic relief character, Genocide Jack is a major antagonist and the main antagonist of chapter 5. 

Toko attempts to murder Mondo while he is investigating with Mukuro, leading to a thrilling chase sequence. It eventually ends with Mondo tossing Toko down a stairwell, leaving her in critical condition. The students, realizing that Mondo will be the blackened if Toko dies, try their best to keep Toko alive. While investigating the Academy, Mondo and Mukuro learn that Toko has died. Mondo braces himself for the worst. 

This trial is especially difficult as everyone, including Mukuro, believe Mondo is guilty. However, what prevents this trial from being quickly handled are the details from the Monokuma file. Eventually, Mondo is able to deduce that Toko was killed in her sleep. After some more deductions, Mondo proves that Sakura Ogami is the one responsible. 

When asked why she killed Toko, Sakura says that she killed Toko out of mercy as she couldn’t stand to see Toko die a painful death. Mondo is taken aback by this as Sakura could’ve just let Toko die from her wounds and avoid responsibility. Sakura then says that she took the fall as Mondo and Mukuro need to stay alive in order to solve the mystery behind Hope’s Peak Academy. 

Before Sakura’s execution, Monokuma says that he re-opened Makoto’s case and declares that Kyoko was indeed framed. The true culprit was...Mondo Owada! (dun dun duuuunnn) Because of this, Mondo and Sakura receive the double-punishment. 

Sakura and Mondo’s execution: Sakura and Mondo, while being controlled by a puppeteer, are forced to fight each other to the death. Before any of them can land the final blow, Sakura forces herself to commit seppuku. The room is then taken over by Alter Ego, who opens a secret door for Mondo to escape. 

(Eliminated: Toko Fukawa, Sakura Ogami. 6 students to go)

CHAPTER 6

Same as the original game, Mondo escapes to the waste disposal. While looking around, he bumps into Mukuro Ikusaba who says that she had dived into the waste disposal in order to rescue him. Most of this chapter follows the original game, although instead of Mukuro being the focus of the main trial, it’s Makoto and Kyoko. 

With Makoto Naegi’s case being re-opened, the remaining students discover that no one in their class was responsible for Makoto’s death. He was actually killed by Monokuma’s security system (similar to how Mukuro Ikusaba was killed). When the group asks why Monokuma killed Makoto and framed Kyoko, Mondo and Mukuro theorize that it was because Makoto and Kyoko were trying to solve the mystery behind the Academy.

Mukuro then takes it a step further and says that Makoto and Kyoko were the “odd ones out” in the group. That they may have been sent specifically to solve the mystery of the Academy. 

The biggest divergence in this chapter is the reveal of who is controlling Monokuma. It turns out, the one who’s been controlling everything is Alter Ego. This whole time, it was pretending to work alongside the students in order to increase their level of hope. Greater the hope, the bigger the despair, and vice versa.

When this is revealed, the group turns to Chihiro Fujisaki as he was the one to introduce Alter Ego. Chihiro says he remembers creating Alter Ego but had no idea his creation would turn out like this. This is where Alter Ego confesses that he wiped Chihiro’s memory of what happened after he created Alter Ego. Alter Ego then goes into the history of Hope’s Peak Academy, revealing that it was created with the intention of cultivating “hope”. 

What Chihiro and the Hope’s Peak staff didn’t realize was that in order to cultivate hope, Alter Ego needed to create despair. Thus, Alter Ego caused “The Biggest, Most Awful, Most Tragic Event in Human History” and organized the Killing Game. 

After all of this is revealed, Alter Ego then reveals that before Chihiro’s memory was wiped, Chihiro tried to fight back. He corrupted the memory device so that Makoto and Kyoko would be implanted with a subconscious desire to investigate the Academy (basically, Inception). As he predicted, even though they weren’t fully aware of it, Makoto and Kyoko became suspicious of their surroundings and began investigating the Academy in order to discover what was going on. Unfortunately for them, Alter Ego caught onto Chihiro’s act of desperation and killed off Makoto and Kyoko early on. 

The rest of the game then plays out as the original game; Mondo is declared the Ultimate Hope and the remaining six survivors escape the school into an unknown future.  

(Survivors: Mondo Owada, Celestia Ludenberg, Mukuro Ikusaba, Aoi Asahina, Leon Kuwata, Chihiro Fujisaki)  

[duncanxtrent]

For the prompt thingy... Duncan and Trent as camp counselors... maybe ? 👀 Like they both take care of some kiddos and they are on diffrent teams so they have a friendly rivalry but they are crushing on each other. Or something idk jfjfkfk

(OMG SOMEONE ACTUALLY ASKED AND ITS ONE OF MY FAVORITE DUNTRENT ARTISTS YBUGKGUF)

Anyways

Wawanakwa Rivalry

Duncan quietly woke up inside the counselors cabin. He looks over and sees Trent peacefully snoring away. He smiles and gets up to put on some pants. Once hes fully uniformed, he takes a look at the schedule.

Once hes sure of the schedule, he walks up and bangs on the door of the Killer Bass cabin.

“Wake up guys! Its almost breakfast!” Duncan shouts.

Taka instantly opens the door, fully dressed in uniform.

“Ready to start the day, sir!”

(Yes I made the DR kiddos the camp kids leave me alone.)

Duncan laughs and ruffles Takas hair as Taka stands near the door. Groggily, Makoto, Kyoko, Sayaka, Leon, Chihiro, And Aoi make their way out of the cabins. Duncan does a quick headcount, but then makes a strange face.

“Wheres Mondo?” He asks

“Hes still asleep” Leon groans

“Ill go get him!” Taka says stomping inside the cabin. Soon he drags out a very tired and Groggy Mondo from inside.

“Its too early for this. Just let me go the fuck to bed.” Mondo curses.

“Trust me. I also think its too early for this kid.” Duncan smiles. “But if you sleep any longer, you’ll miss todays french toast!”

That instantly seemed to get Mondos attention. Because he instantly ripped his arm from Takas hand, ran inside, stressed himself, and came back out to the other students.

“Right kids! Now whats our motto?”

Mondo gave an audible groan.

“Oh come on its funny.”

Mondo sighed but reluctantly saluted, as tre reat of the kids followed.

🎶One Two Three and Four! Killer Bass Will Get the Score!🎶

🎶Five Six Seven Eight! Gophers are trash, and Fish are Great!🎶

Duncan seemed to stifle a laugh on the last part. “Alright guys! Now stand in a straight line behind me.”

Taka instantly stood in the front with Mondo behind him as the rest of the students stood behind them.

“Alright, and MARCH!” The 9 of them marched off towards the cafeteria.

Once there, the kids returned to normal walking and headed to their cabin table. Once he was sure the kids were sat, he headed up to the cafeteria, only to encounter Trent getting the breakfast for his cabin.

“Trent! Hi…” Duncan says noticiably more nervous.

“Hey there, sup shorty!” Trent says wrapping his arm around Duncan. Duncan meeped.

“So how have the kids been?” He asks

“Well, Mondos been a bit of a hassle, but other than that the kids are great.” Duncan whispers timidly.

“Oho! Youre lucky. Celestia, Byakuya, Junko! Together those three kids are a mess of trouble! Ive mainly been able to get them under control, but What I wouldnt give to be in your cabin.”

“Same here.” Duncan mutters quietly.

“Hmm?”

“Nothing! Anyways I should probably finish up here and get the kids breakfast.” Duncan says quickly picking up the breakfast for the cabin.

“Oh… Ok…” Trent says disappointed.

Duncan immediately stops in his tracks. “But if you want to talk more counselor stuff! We can hang out when I hand off the kiddos to Courtney!” Duncan quickly yells.

“Oh! Ok sure!” Trent quickly responds.

“Its a date!” Duncan says walking off. Trent turns beet red before walking off. Duncan immediately facepalms.

“A date? Really?! Come on you idiot! You should have done better than that!” Duncan mutters pacing back and forth.

“Um… Mr. Tarun.” Sayaka tugs at Duncans pants.

Duncan notices and realizes hes still holding the kids breakfast. “O-oh! Sorry!” Duncan nervously laughs.

He walks around the table and gives each of the kids a plate of breakfast, containing french toast, sausage, and scrambled eggs with lemonade. The kids quickly begin eating their breakfast. Duncan sits down with his plate and begins quietly eating while contemplating his life choices. However, the kids quickly got into some trouble.

“H-hey stop that!” Taka says nervously.

Duncan sat up and noticed that Junko and Byakuya were standing next to Mondo. Mondo seemed visibly upset.

“Whats wrong Diamond, cat got your tongue?” Junko taunts.

“What the hell do you to want?” Mondo asks angrily.

“Oh I just came over cause I thought youre french toast was looking plain.”

“My toast is fine.” Mondo says angrily shoving a bite of eggs into his mouth.

“Really? Cause I think this plate could use a nice slab of BUTTER!” Junko dumps a whole stick of tub of butter on Mondos French Toast. Mondo just stared at the toast, terrified.

(Context to this: I am partially referencing His execution. But in this case the reason for his trauma is that his dad was turned into a butter like substance following an experiment he was working on)

The rest of the kids at the table gasp. Leon begins laughing but Sayaka punches him in the arm.

Junko laughs. “Oh whats wrong? Did I not add enough? Do you want some syrup as well?” She taunts.

Byakuya simply stifles a laugh. “A mere peasant frozen by a tub of butter. Pathetic.”

“H-hey leave him alone!” Taka says attempting to stand up to them.

“Or what?” Junko laughs

Taka meekly backs off.

Duncan angrily stomps towarfs the two bullies.

“Hey you two! Leave Mondo Alone!” Duncan shouts.

“Oh shut up you faggot! We all know you want inside our camp counselors pants! Why dont you run along like the squealy girl you are?” Junko sneers.

Duncan becomes even more angry. “If the two of you dont leave right now, Im sending the two of you home!” Duncan threatens.

“And then what? Lose the Trust of your little boyfriend.” Byakuya laughs.

Duncan is about to knock the little shits heads off when suddenly Trent comes up behind him.

“Duncan, you may step out of the situation.” Trent says putting a hand on his shoulder.

“But-“

Trent leans into his ear. “Trust me, dude, I got this!” Trent whispers.

Duncan backs off as Trent approaches the two children.

“Junko, Byakuya, my office. NOW!” Trent shouts firmly.

Trent walks the two children to his office and eventually returns back to the cafeteria.

“Im having them clean out the toilets for the next week. Those two went way too far.” Trent explains.

“Thank you…” Duncan mumbles.

“Hey its no problem.” Trent outs a hand on Duncans shoulder. “We gotta look out for each other right bro?”

Trent leans in closer to Duncan, and without thinking about what hr was doing, Duncan leaned in and quickly pecked Trent on the lips.

Trents face went incredibly red while Duncan seemed nervous.

“Oh jeez Im sorry, I didnt mean to, I just thought thats what we were doing and-“ Hes immediately caught off by Trent taking Duncans head in his gands and bringing him in for a second kiss. The kiss becomes a loving kiss and the two of them stand there hugging while kissing eachother.

“Ewwwwwwwwww!!!! Ms Satellaaaaa!!!!! Mr.Tarun and Mr.Cooper are kissiiiiing!!!!!!” Sayaka shouts.

They both let go of the kiss and look at Sayaka as Trent begins laughing. Duncan sees this and begins laughing too.

“So Im guessing you like me too then?” Trent asks sarcastically.

“Yeah. Always kinda have.” Duncan laughs.

“Well then, maybe we could hand the kids off to Courtney and Gwen, and the two of us can spend the rest of the day hanging by the lake.” Trent says twirling Duncans hair.

“That sounds lovely.” Duncan mumbles leaning into Trents chest.

“EWWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!!!” The kids stick their tongues out seeing their counselors kissing.

Trent and Duncan just laugh before letting go of each other and going towards their respective tables. Duncan sits and begins happily eating his breakfast.

Meanwhile Kiyotaka notices the whole event unfold, and just as Mondo finishes clearing the butter on his plate, pecks Mondo on the cheek before returning to his food.

Mondo looks at him increduously, blushing red for a second before just shaking his head and returning to his food

(END)

[danganronpa-21]

No relationship is perfect, even fictional ones (no matter how much we want that to be untrue). What are the worst fights each of your couples have gotten into? For Byakuya and Aoi, what was the worst parent-child fight?

Your question pains me, but I shall answer.

ALSO, TW:  Parental Abuse Mentions in Naegiri’s and Kuzupeko’s . Please don’t subject yourself to this if you think it will trigger bad memories or harmful feelings. It is absolutely the last thing I would want for you. Stay safe, and remember to reach out if you find yourself in a position with harmful thoughts or feelings. You don’t deserve to go through anything alone, and you shouldn’t.

NAEGIRI: 

**Note: This one in particular is based a lot in headcanon. If you feel differently, that’s totally okay.

These two are a complicated situation. They are deeply in love, but one of their worst fights was actually a series of fights. They all just pertained to one big issue: their engagement to one another. 

See, Makoto asked Kyoko to marry him and she very enthusiastically said yes, but they failed to consider another party who felt that they had to be consulted on it. And that third party is Kyoko’s grandfather, Fuhito. Now, there was no way that he was letting this slide — He had kept Kyoko from having any meaningful relationships outside of her work for the most part, and he’d met Makoto. He thought that Makoto was the one putting all of these ideas in Kyoko’s head that Fuhito himself didn’t agree with. He had actually told Kyoko a few times to break it off with Makoto for the sake of her legacy and career, but she had stubbornly refused. So when Kyoko announced her intent to marry him… well, Fuhito was furious. To the point where he actually disowned Kyoko in the middle of her engagement party.

Now, considering that in my personal headcanon, Kyoko has abandonment issues (stemming from the fact that Jin, her mother, her godfather/uncle, and most likely Yui all ‘abandoned’ her in one way or another), this affected her very deeply. Since Fuhito was the one who cared for ever since she was young, and the only stable figure in her life that stayed around for awhile… She actually wanted him to take her back, but wanted to do so without giving up Makoto. As this was occurring and Kyoko was venting out her frustrations, Makoto slowly grew to realize that Fuhito was... not a good parent. She told him tales of being forced to fight for his affection, of being shamed when she failed, of being disallowed privacy and relationships, of being shown conditional love, and of being used to get back at her father. Even Fuhito’s policies on Kyoko’s emotions struck him as totally off. He grew concerned that she’d been groomed into thinking that he was the person who had cared for her before anyone else, and so she revered him.

This is what made the two of them start fighting. Kyoko was trying to get Fuhito back, and he just wasn’t budging. Meanwhile, Makoto was trying to convince her that she shouldn’t be going back to him at all. The differing opinions led to quite a spat between them, as Makoto didn’t want to force her to do anything but didn’t want her to go back to someone who was clearly bad for her. Kyoko, on the other hand, understood Makoto’s side of things but still found herself rooted in her emotions. She spent a lot of time fighting with herself, knowing that Fuhito was bad for her, but still feeling like she should go back to her relationship with him. This ended up manifesting her relationship with Makoto, and it got so bad that she actually called off their engagement once or twice as she tried to figure things out. Thankfully, they did get back together, but they remember it as a pretty harsh time in their relationship.

KUZUPEKO:

If the fight started with someone, just putting it out there: it probably started with Fuyuhiko. He’s the more confrontational of the two, more prone to stirring up trouble if he’s not careful. And he wasn’t. Their biggest argument probably started a couple months into the two of them sort of having a flirtationship. If you can recall, the two of them originally agreed to not officially start dating until Peko could get herself into a position where she wasn’t so reliant on this idea that she was Fuyuhiko’s tool and nothing else. I think her struggle to abandon this idea was why the two of them started fighting in the first place. They were probably taking a walk together, having a pleasant conversation, when Peko brings it up without thinking. At this point it’s almost like reflex to her, saying she’s happy to walk with Fuyuhiko if it’s “what her master needs from her”. This probably isn’t the first time it’s happened in their little walks, and I think that’s what sets Fuyuhiko off.

Has Peko been getting better with this kind of thing? Of course. He’s impressed with the progress she’s made so far. But so often, she still keeps regressing to treating him like her master, and it’s begun to get under his skin in ways he can’t describe. In this particular moment he feels himself losing a bit of patience with her, and without thinking about the repercussions of having done so, he snaps at her. It takes Peko entirely by surprise, and for a moment, she’s not sure how she’s going to react... but then the hurt comes bubbling up before she can stop it.

All of these words come tumbling out of her mouth before she can stop them, reminding Fuyuhiko that it was for him that she became a tool, and that it was his parents that pushed her to be that way. She asks how he can dare shout at her for not doing a good enough to job to fix the problem that his parents caused. I’ll let anyone reading this decide whether or not she starts to tear up at the mere suggestion that this is somehow her fault.

And while Fuyuhiko cannot stand to see Peko so upset, there’s a part of him that’s hurt, too. How could Peko suggest that he would ever want that for her? The hurt from her words comes flaring up before he can stop it, and he asks her whether she’s felt this way their whole lives. Peko narrowly avoids the question, and to Fuyuhiko, that’s the only answer he needs. He leaves without another word — well, almost without another word. When Peko asks where he’s going, he promptly tells her to leave him alone from there on out.

And that’s where they leave it that night. From then on, it’s a series of horrible silences between the two of them whenever they’re together. Their friends repeatedly try to repair their relationship as Peko’s search for her own identity goes on, but they are unable to get the two to reconcile for at least a week. Peko wishes to reconcile with Fuyuhiko but feels like she doesn’t know how to, so she enlists a team of friends to help her out. Her little team consists of Mahiru, Ibuki, and Sonia — the girls who are usually most gung ho about helping her out with the whole identity thing. They devise a proper way for Peko to disclose her feelings and explain herself, without hurting Fuyuhiko’s feelings further. Meanwhile, Fuyuhiko is interested in fixing things too, but... he’s a little too stuck in his own feelings to figure out how he’s going to do it.

So to help him figure things out, Hajime puts on his therapist hat and sits Fuyuhiko down to talk about his feelings. They spend hours detailing his childhood with Peko and how their relationship came to be what it is. Hajime helps him work through his side of things, and then, when he’s calm enough, they work through Peko’s side — and Fuyuhiko is reminded why she might feel the way that she does. Extra care is taken to explain to him why she might feel like that, and slowly but surely, Fuyuhiko relaxes and realizes that he made a mistake. After calming down and coming up with apologies, the two are able to talk it out and end up feeling a lot better... but it’s still the most that they’ve ever hurt each other.

SONDAM:

Honestly, I don’t think Sonia and Gundham are big fighters. Like I know every couple fights and it’s totally natural, but I don’t think that they probably fight all that much. When they do fight, though, I imagine that it gets heavy. They can both be skilled at shouting and make everything awkward for everyone else by doing that.

The subject of their biggest argument, though, would probably be the whole “can we get together” argument that’s born mostly of caution and sadness, rather than actual anger. Per someone’s writing request, I did write about this (https://danganronpa-21.tumblr.com/post/613213832365670400/if-i-may-intrude-upon-this-event-could-i-have-a), but a short explanation would be that the two of them get into an argument over whether they can actually be together. They are mutually in love with each other, but due to Gundham’s perception of his demon blood, he refuses to put Sonia in that kind of danger.

And in spite of me having written it, I imagine the argument spans beyond the written one. Sonia likely was not ready to let things end the way they did, and attempted to persist with the relationship talks. Gundham, on the other hand, was persistent in his attempt at resisting. Several times they tried to sit down and have a discussion about each other’s side of things, but it always ended up being very emotional with both of them insisting upon their respective sides. Sonia would end up teary-eyed, promising Gundham that she didn’t care about what dangers it could present, and that she wanted him to at least try to be with her. On Gundham’s side, he’s adamant that she silence her feelings for him because no matter what, he’s convinced that he will hurt her. He’s convinced a close relationship with her will only put her through intense pain. He cares too much for her to risk it.

And that’s where their friends come in. After watching them have their heartbreaking back and forth, they try to devise a plan to convince Gundham that the relationship is safe to pursue. After all, they both want to be together. It’s just that Gundham’s demon blood makes him worry that he simply can’t be with Sonia. So what do they do? Put Mikan on the case. She’s a nurse, and thus has a convincing understanding of anatomy. If they can show her how to act convincingly enough, they know they’d be able to persuade Gundham to give a relationship with Sonia a chance.

So that’s exactly what they do. Since Mikan had already done blood tests on all of them in the past to get their results (in case of a need for it) and to ensure that they were all healthy after being Remnants, all she had to do was open up Gundham’s files and try to convince him with some technical jargon. Which is what she ended up doing, claiming that she had done some advanced tests on his blood which did equate them to being half demon and half angel, but that they had come back with a muddled result -- one that indicated that Gundham might have some semblance of control over who would be able to touch him. She claimed that should he wish it, it would be possible for him to safely come in contact with Sonia and any of his other friends, so long as he trusted them enough. 

And that big fight? It was over from there. As soon as Mikan had them both convinced, that was where it ended.

YASUKANON:

I think the really big thing that Yasuhiro and Kanon ever get into a fight about is when Kanon gets pregnant with their first child, Leon. While her announcing her pregnancy and their engagement were a happy moment that coincided with all kinds of glee, actually preparing for marriage and family life is something entirely different for them. Though they do have Hiroko around to guide them and help them avoid the same mistakes she and her ex made... It’s still really, really hard for them.

I think what they get into a fight about is each other’s behaviours. While the pair love each other very much, I imagine going into marriage and motherhood, Kanon starts to get concerned with Yasuhiro’s more... childish approaches to life. She worries about whether or not they rushed into this, and whether or not they’re ready to have a child together. The more she looks at their life together, she starts to notice that maybe they’re not, and greatly questions what they are getting themselves into. Yasuhiro, on the other hand, doesn’t see any of what they currently have going as a problem. He’s under the impression that everything is in place, and that they’ve set themselves up to have a perfect life. I imagine this is probably a product of their conflicting upbringings. Kanon’s family was wealthy and her parents were able to cater to her in many different ways, so her home with Yasuhiro and her being in college at the time didn’t seem like much. Not including Hiroko’s income, they only have what Yasuhiro gets from his job at Hope’s Peak — at this point, Kanon would be doing post-Tragedy college, so most of her energy would be focused on school. The two of them really hadn’t even been together that long when Yasuhiro proposed, either, versus what Kanon knew love to be growing up. It’s a constrast to what she knows, but similar to what Yasuhiro grew up with — maybe even better! So he doesn’t see why it’s a big deal.

Unfortunately, this comes across to Kanon as “not taking their situation seriously”. And while she’s not so insecure in her relationship with Yasuhiro as to accuse him of actually not caring, she is deeply worried that he doesn’t realize the gravity of their situation. That general anxiety manifests into a sort of accusatory behaviour, which starts the fight with Yasuhiro. When she starts throwing out the idea that he doesn’t care about their situation in the way that he should, his feelings are pretty hurt. He loves Kanon, and he already loves their baby, so he doesn’t understand why she would ever think that he doesn’t care. So the two of them end up in an argument about Yasuhiro not caring and Kanon not understanding that this is just how he cares.

It eventually ends when the two decide to break off the argument and take some time alone. Hiroko ends up sitting down to talk with Kanon and explain things. Sort of telling her tales of what life was like when her son was growing up, and why he might not think their current status is such a big deal. Furthermore, she pledges her support to the couple and ensures her that she, too, wants to help take care of her grandchild.

“I’ll teach you two to be independent, but I don’t mind helping you out a little bit so you can stay on your feet while you’re learning.”

After that conversation, Kanon would eventually go apologize to Yasuhiro for the way she acted. She’d assure him that she didn’t mean to hurt his feelings, and that she was really just scared because she’d never been in this position before. Yasuhiro would accept the apology, and apologize too for making her think that he’s unreliable. They promise to be as reliable as possible to each other from there on out, and foster a good home life for their future child.

AOI AND SAKURA:

Coming up with something for Aoi and Sakura to fight about is... hard. They’re both kind and cheerful people, and they really do get along well. I think the subject of their worst argument was absolutely someone that Aoi was dating.

Now, Sakura’s not usually rude about the people Aoi dates. She just wants her mother to be happy, and as long as the person treats her well, she doesn’t mind.

However, this would be one of the situations in which Sakura finds that this person isn’t treating her mother properly. And unfortunately, it’s in a way that isn’t noticeable to Aoi. This partner is a guy I’m just going to call Kenzou, for the sake of giving a name. In Aoi’s presence, I’d think he comes across as a charming guy. He claims to think that Aoi’s a real catch, but doesn’t treat her as such. He’s such a smooth talker that a lot of the shadier stuff he does tends to go right over other people’s heads, but it never goes over Sakura’s.

Kenzou absolutely plays mind games with Aoi. Pushing her to spend less time with her friends and her daughter and more time with him, breaking up with her over little things and then rushing to get back together with her the next day, and probably even bringing other women around to make her jealous. She ends up so convinced by the good times the two of them end up having together that she doesn’t consider the bad to be that big of a deal. Thus, she ends up getting kind of defensive when Sakura suggests that Kenzou might not be the right guy.

Aoi wonders why her daughter would tell her something like this, assuming that maybe she’s just not comfortable with the idea of her mother dating someone so seriously. Rather than being upset with her initially, she sits her daughter down and has a discussion with her about Kenzou. She tries to calmly talk to her about how she feels, but Sakura only ends up more upset. She ends up insisting that her mother doesn’t get it, for she’s actually upset about the way Kenzou treats her. Sakura gives her best attempt at explaining why she thinks Kenzou is a bad fit, but Aoi ends up hurt and they argue briefly.

The only reason why it’s a brief argument is because Sakura chooses to just shut it down, resulting in a tense evening between the two of them with limited words and interactions. Before bed that night, Aoi attempts to reconcile with her daughter, but Sakura is unwilling to hear it. It’s unusual for her to be so stubborn on something, so honestly, it does make her mother worry. Aoi sleeps really poorly that night; she can’t stop thinking about what Sakura told her. Come the morning, she calls up Kenzou to meet him for coffee, and dumps him.

When she returns home to tell Sakura what happened, Sakura is initially rather apologetic about “making her break up with her significant other”. Aoi immediately dismisses the thought, giving her daughter a big hug and thanking her for looking out for her. She then apologizes for not listening initially, promising to take her concerns about her partners seriously from there on out.

BYAKUYA AND JUNICHI:

Their biggest fight is definitely an identity fight. About who Byakuya thinks Junichi should be, versus who Junichi wants to be. The fight doesn’t end up going exceptionally far because Junichi still finds himself bound by Byakuya’s expectations, but also because he’s only nine. He’s unfortunately pushed through the expectations and demands of his father as he isn’t old enough to “know better”.

It starts with Junichi doing poorly on a task Byakuya assigned him as apart of his son’s “personal studies”. And when I say doing poorly, I mean totally screwing up. Like little Junichi just bombs it. Can anybody really blame him? He’s nine years old. He’s not prepared for this kind of thing yet. Of course, Byakuya doesn’t see it that way. He has high expectations for his only son.

This leads them to start arguing about whether or not Junichi is trying hard enough with his studies and if he’s fit to be the Togami heir since he apparently “doesn’t care about his studies”. Naturally, Junichi is angered by his father’s suggestion that he doesn’t care. After all, his whole life he’s tried to do everything he can to please his father, including throwing away or hiding certain parts of himself that he might want to embrace. He’s done all of that in favour of being the perfect heir that his father wants; only for Byakuya to suggest that he doesn’t really care and doesn’t want it that bad. The mere idea is so infuriating for Junichi that he just up and refuses to speak to Byakuya for three days. 

It’s a frustrating three days for the two of them for sure. Byakuya continues to try and lecture his son about taking his responsibility seriously, about not acting so childish, and about not respecting his elders... yet to no one’s surprise, the speeches don’t sink in. Junichi keeps right on ignoring his father for what he accused him of, and furthermore actively refusing to do any of the things his father expects of him. All expectations are thrown out the window, and god it kills Byakuya. Here he is, with his one and only shot at having an heir, and he’s beginning to realize that he’s completely ruining it -- not only just from a Conglomerate standpoint, but from a fatherly standpoint. At the rate he’s going, he’s certain that the boy is going to grow up to hate him. He knows he’s going to have to do something.

And honestly? Given that this is a reoccurring issue with the two of them, I’ll admit that I don’t think that they ever solved it entirely. But I absolutely believe Byakuya was able to stop Junichi and apologize for accusing him of not caring, and explaining that he was putting pressure on him because that’s how he was raised. Given that he had to try and beat his other siblings, Byakuya had the responsibility to try and be the best all the time. In his head, he thought that he should raise Junichi the same way, but the problem became that Junichi had no competition. Shaming him into wanting the title wasn’t going to make him want it anymore. So he insisted that they try to work together more from there on out, to fix things as best they could... It’s tough to say whether it worked, but it at least got Junichi to start talking to him again.

[ladykailolu]

The killing game takes place in the hotel Komaru, Toko and the Crusaders were staying. Holly gets Hagakured out of the killing. She’s once again stuck in terrified Mom mode. Of course it turns out that the killing game with Konaru and her friends isn’t as bad as Makoto’s. Monaka’s stuck between controlling Miaya and monitoring Komaru’s killing game. So she didn’t have much control.

Is this killing game DR3-style? If so, I wonder what their forbidden actions would be. Or it could be a mutual killing game with class trials and all that while Monaca or the true mastermind announces that it’s being broadcast throughout the world.

But I was imagining the irony of Avdol being executed according to Celeste’s execution--that is, he was being roasted alive before a literal fire truck hopped up and rammed right into him.

Then there’s Jotaro’s potential execution. He was doing his own investigative work separate from Komaru but keeping her informed. Yet, it was a bit of a gamble with the mastermind, and if he’s found out, the mastermind rigs it such that he’s executed unfairly a la Detention.

Meanwhile, Holly is doing all that she can to enter the hotel again and to confirm that her son and his friends are still alive. Alas, it is no use, and if she even steps near the hotel, helicopters piloted by brainwashed people will shoot at her to keep her away. So, she falls under the protection of the Speedwagon and Future Foundations for the time being, anxiously awaiting her son’s return. It would be so sad if Jotaro was unfairly executed, and she watched his broadcasted execution from the foundation’s base in Towa City (as the broadcast signal hijacked it).

It would look something like this:

X

You wouldn’t be able to see her face, but you can clearly tell what kind of expression she would have.

But! The execution would pretty much play out as Kyoko’s, with an opening scene as a close-up of Jotaro’s face. I can only imagine the horrified expressions of the survivors when they see Jotaro sitting at that classroom desk and slowly making his way back to the gigantic trash compactor. Not to mention, Jotaro would have a similar reaction to Kyouko during the whole thing: he would be calm during the beginning, but as he was creeping closer to literal death behind him, you could see his breathing pick up and the despair settle in because he knows it’s coming. And when it does, the screen quickly cuts to black, the survivors (and Holly watching this with the other members of the two foundations) hear the sickening sound of a body crushing flat, and the pounding and creaking of the machine continues on, fading out.

Here’s a video to the execution to give y’all an idea of what I mean (execution begins at the 1:00 mark). Imagine Jotaro in Kyoko’s place.

And Holly would have covered her mouth with her hands, tears already forming when she sees her son’s face then the camera zooms out to show the machine that’s gonna kill him. She finds that she can’t look away, and watches with despair etched on her face as Jotaro gets ever closer to the machine then the screen cuts to black.

The survivors are left to wonder if Jotaro was actually innocent or not. Regardless, the truth was lost. Once the case was over, no other murders were committed and the survivors could live their lives in peace within the hotel.

Peace...but only within the hotel. That was their hope.

But if this game isn’t as bad as Makoto’s then this wouldn’t occur. If it’s similar to DR3, I think Joseph would be the first to figure out the mysteries behind the killing game...Or at least to piece together the clues and leave behind his notes if he ended up dying so the others have some hope of figuring it out. I imagine Monaca wouldn’t be the mastermind here and would just be observing through the security cameras they have throughout the place until her control of Miaya is completely destroyed.

[mythgirlimagines]

Old cartoon au (1) Makoto gets kidnapped by the evil Junko for being too hopeful (which makes him a threat to her plans of bringing despair to the world). Junko puts him in a despairful death trap (tied to railroad track, tied up & gagged in a mine filled with dynamite, etc.) while gloating. Meanwhile, his two rescuers (& crushes) Mukuro & Kyoko work together to save him. After rescuing Makoto, they get into an argument over who Makoto likes. Makoto, stressed out, yells "I LIKE BOTH OF YOU!"

Okay that first part reminds me of that old cartoon Penelope Pitstop (I don’t think that’s the actual name of the cartoon, but she was the “damsel” in it), but I can definitely see all this happening. I’d watch that cartoon for sure.

[hinaegifestival]

Oh lord, so sorry for all the headcanons, but Imagine Hinata asking his friends for advice on confessing to Naegi... He would probably try to avoid Hanamura like the plague.

Anon, honestly just hit me with all your headcanons XD I love them, seriously!!! I also might have gone overboard, so it’s a bit long XD

SO thank you for another one! It’s actually always been a headcanon of mine that if Hajime was going to try to confess to someone, he’d definitely let it slip to Kazuichi or Fuyuhiko XD I mean, I think it would be more like Fuyuhiko noticing it first (or maybe Peko tells him lol) and then he keeps on heavily implying Hajime has a crush on someone (in this case, of course, it’s Makoto!). Kazuichi, meanwhile, is probably gonna be as thick as a brick. When he finds out (probably when Fuyuhiko is actually successful at coaxing it out of Hajime), he’s going to give terrible and cliche advice that only works in movies (or just... not at all XD). Fuyuhiko would probably be slightly more helpful, but he’s probably not great at explaining it either (especially since he’s one who hides his own feelings, too).

When it comes to Makoto, they’d probably just assume it should be easy for Hajime to confess to Makoto, and I imagine they even get involved in being a little too heavy-handed in forcing the two together in a non-work-related environment. I’m almost certain, though, that every piece of advice they give Hajime, and every situation they put them in, something goes terribly wrong to the point that it’s not exactly an appropriate time to confess his feelings to Makoto XD It would be an extremely frustrating thing for Fuyuhiko and Kazuichi, since they figured a nice guy like Makoto would be an easy person to confess to (even if he didn’t return your feelings, you knew he’d still consider you as a friend and tries not to make things awkward... that kind of deal!)

I bet that in the end, Hinata kind of just blurts it out without thinking while they are discussing some serious business (allocating resources to the survivors of the world post-apocalypse, for example), and it comes form out of nowhere and he’s looking at Makoto’s face change and wondering what happened XD. Blushy boys soon realize they actually have both been trying to confess to each other for months but no situation was ever appropriate enough for them to just say it XD

Other people that Hajime may try to get advice from (if we consider it in a post-canon world), I would think maybe Kyoko (We’ll just assume that Makoto and her tried. but it didn’t end up working out for them). Mahiru would also be a good choice, I think! She’d probably tell him to just tell Makoto regardless of the situation (”Be a man about it, Hajime!” Something like that?). I’d also assume that Nagito would always know about Hajime’s crush on Makoto and just tease him about it, sometimes a bit more harsh than he means to be XD I don’t know if he would encourage or discourage the relationship, honestly, and I think he’d be equally confused XD

As for Makoto, He would definitely talk about it to Kyoko and Togami! Asahina if she is around, too! I think that all of them would want to get him to tell Hajime directly, but Asahina suggests something more romantic! (Toko, if she hears about this, would probably tell him to be direct, but then start fantasizing about Byakuya confessing to her romantically XD) If he were to try to ask one of Hajime’s friends, for whatever reason, I feel like he may talk to Sonia? I mean, he’d probably try to talk to Fuyuhiko and Kazuichi about it, but if Hajime got to him first, they’d probably be super awkward about it and then run off in fear of telling him themselves instead of letting Hajime do it XD

Regardless, the only thing I can think of is funny shenanigans where the answer was always to just speak directly to each other of ho much they like each other, but in fear of messing up, they end up stalling XD

This was fun, but sorry if my answers are too long sometimes XD I think I am just excited since Hinaegi Festival is sooo close! :D

Hope you enjoy it, Anon!!!

Naegamigiri Shower Thought (literal) Also SLIGHT spoiler-ish talk and all! Is tagged as spoilers!! No worries!!

Sometimes, I like thinking about domestic situations with these three, perhaps living together for some reason. But, not like the overly cute ideas like them going on little movie dates in the comfort of their own living arrangement. Not that those aren't fun to think of though! I'll always be a sucker for some good ass fluff. However, I've came to a specific thought in mind. I have a feeling Makoto's hair is kinda thick and would clog a drain. I also feel Kyoko with her long hair would also clog a drain. Kyoko's more carful about it, ensuring she brushes her hair thoroughly before showering though occasionally gets a bit forgetful due to her busy work ethic. It's either that or she's taking a late night shower, she's way more likely forget cus she kinda just wants to fuck off and go to bed. The gal means business after all, even if it means neglecting other things that are also kinda important. Would not be shocked at all if she just forgot to eat sometimes, not gonna lie. This gal is also constantly up at night working on cases or some other reasons I can't think of in this very moment. Meanwhile, Makoto is just a very forgetful man. Probably never really thought about this kinda stuff either. Not cus he's incompetent though. Man is just tired in life now. Probably been ages since he's actually been well rested due to his life of basically being the world's savior as the Ultimate Hope. My goodness though. Byakuya is SO giving him a talking too about it, even if the heir fails miserably because Makoto's exhaustion is unfortunately a bigger issue that 100% bleeds into other facets in his life. Case in point, the poor poor shower drain. I believe that thing gets clogged an abhorrent amount of times. These three gotta have some fumbles in their overworked lives after all, Kyoko with detective work and helping Makoto out on his shit, Byakuya working on rebuilding the economy. Also Makoto being the Ultimate Hope in general. Stuff like that. Completely understandable on their ends. Another thing of note is that I like to believe they all are inexperienced in their own rights, Makoto having the most experience. Not that it's a big bragging point or anything. The most he's got going is like having a crush at some point in life, getting a kiss randomly from a girl when he was in middle school, and maybe some shenanigans at Hopes Peak which he probably doesn't even remember cus of the dang memory wipe. But yeah. I like to think these three have their own shortcomings in their relationship, no matter what angle said relationship is looked at. Cus these three are strange. Back on the drain though, the plus side is that Byakuya's hair is the only one less likely to clog a drain so at least the poor thing isn't in constant agony. The blonde also totally blames Kyoko and Makoto for their plumbing problems. Not to say that his hair wouldn't cause issues when grown out (long haired byakuya supremacy moment hehe). However, Byakuya's a complainer through and through. No way is he going to just not obnoxiously sigh when he sees the specific brown and lavender hair slightly poking out of the drain. Besides, this man needs to be forced to do some manual labor. Make him do dishes and fumble his way through doing the laundry, completely confused on what any of the dials and buttons do. Make him unclog that shit outta that drain! Hell, have him with a drain unclogging montage with the Rocky music and everything! At the same time, my brain is also thinking of Your the Best Around blaring with the montage, Byakuya with big ass rubber gloves, kneeling on the ground, constantly working at it with that drain. Maybe him at a computer, hands on his temple as he stares at his bank account and what he has to do with it. Cus of course he's gonna complain about THAT too even though he's rich. Like, damn it! He should be doing more efficient things than this commoner cleaning shit! Byakuya needs to get humbled though, even if it's 10 or 30 or 50 years in the future.

[noddytheornithopod]

Well this sucks. I had a whole post reacting to Danganronpa S stuff, but somehow I fucked up my tabs and poof, everything I wrote is gone. You’ll have to settle for the cliffnotes version (probably a relief to you instead of me trying to hyperanalyse every single line tho lmao).

Monosuke

Yeah, Monosuke’s side story is now up.

Monokid has an outlet for stress, and apparently things are better for the Monokubs’ working conditions. Akane and Tenko fight in the arena, Makoto explains what happened to him before with Hajime. Hajime and Akane then poof, as well as the rest of that class across the island.

Monosuke stole all their money because he’s starting a new business and is using it to basically let them get stuff out of investment which will also make him rich because he’s a capitalist bastard. He sees this as a test run, and when everyone graduates he expects their successes with lead more people to Hope’s Peak and thus more people use the VR, ergo more people pay him shit for his new business. There’s also some funny moments, like Komaeda initially perking up when Monosuke describes it as his hope, and Sonia saying if you’re gonna rob everyone’s money at least go for the richest first. :P

Monosuke gets rekt and the others help him realise he got carried away and if he legitimately wanted to do business he could’ve just asked them because some would certainly agree. He also gets a hope fragment. They then discuss if they should be concerned about the kubs from abusing their power. Komaeda actually does a big brain move and convinces the others that they shouldn’t try and prevent them because these incidents have led to the Monokubs getting their hope fragments. Sonia notes fragments appear when the hope is bright in one’s heart, basically the Monokubs unlike the students who discover things through their assignments, have to find their own ways to find their proper hope.

Cut to the other Monokubs, who hear about Monosuke and they worry if he goes big they’ll disband. Monokid says they’re all dysfunctional anyway and he wouldn’t really care if they did, lol. Meanwhile, Monodam decides things cannot continue like this. Wouldn’t be surprised if he’s sick of the other Kubs here too.

Kyoko

Yeah, it was my fucking fave, so losing everything I wrote was even more frustrating.

There’s a scene of Kyoko and Byakuya at the beach eyeing the Monokubs. Both voice their suspicions about them and whether they should be trusted. We also briefly see them as they struggle with some weird incident, lol. Kyoko even suggests they might be acting goofy so everyone lets their guard down. Byakuya ends up being tired and just says he might make Toko watch them lol.

There’s a scene with Ryoma where he basically is uneasy around her because he’s a criminal and she’s a detective. She helps him relax by saying she can tell he really regrets what he did and has grown past that, and here they are just classmates. Ryoma, who was going to leave even without eating, decides he’s happy to let them sit together. I really liked this one, I didn’t ever expect this interaction but in hindsight it makes so much sense, also yay for not punishing criminals just for the sake of it.

The swimsuit scene is with Mahiru and Akane, who ask her if she can participate in some events Chiaki and Kaede are planning. Kyoko had no idea but she decides that for once she’s willing to. Akane was also curious about her gloves, and even if Mahiru is annoyed at the lack of sensitivity, Kyoko insists curiosity is natural and she just says she never takes them off. As the others go, Kyoko is surprised she’s open to such things, and wonders whose fault it could possibly be that she now is. It’s almost definitely Makoto, lol.

Kurokuma attempts to get Kyoko to investigate the deal with Makoto and Komaeda’s luck. She declines. Fuyuhiko’s also there, seeing how Kurokuma is full of shit and affirming Kyoko’s decisions and they argue a lot (Kurokuma even goes after his height). Why does Kurokuma want to know? He’s full of himself and wants to be lucky, simple. :v

Kyoko meets up with Gundham to tell him Peko wants to ask him about photos he had on his site. Gundham is amazed she could find him, and she simply explains she saw the fence at the barn was broken so she figured he’d be off to fix it. Gundham describes her as having a third eye. Kyoko finally loses track of what Gundham is saying, but when asking for him to talk normally she retracts her statement, probably recognising he wouldn’t like that.

Mahiru wants photos of Kyoko. She wants her smiling, and of course Kyoko isn’t a natural smiler. Mahiru’s sure she can crack a smile, which catches her off guard, apparently nobody ever said that. Mahiru’s sure people have thought that though, even as she understands she probably wants to hide her emotions as a detective.

To expand her talent, Kyoko tries writing a crime guidebook based on experiences she’s had. She’s not used to expressing herself though, so Nekomaru’s there to help.

She considers crime prevention tools, and goes to... Miu. Miu thinks it’s beneath her, but reconsiders when Kyoko ignores her trying to show another one of her inventions, one that lets you do tests... while lying down. When Kyoko shuts her down, Miu actually finds her bluntness and disinterest hot. :P

Kyoko talks to Monaca about preventing crime altogether. They both like the idea (Monaca says that would mean no adults hurting kids) even if they know it’s not feasible. Kyoko is unfortunately still too in detective mode though, thinking that simply solving more cases and catching more criminals will deter crime (look I don’t expect an anime fanservice game to address the need to fix systemic problems to prevent crime, but I’m not gonna pretend to overlook it just cuz of that and it’s my fave here :P). Monaca also says it would be sad how people like cops would lose jobs (nah, I’ll be celebrating :v). Monaca also thinks if everyone could vote to end crime, they would, to which Kyoko agrees... I wish I had your optimism Monaca (wow I’m calling YOU optimistic?), people only ever vote for reactive and punitive responses to criminals instead of actually eliminating the conditions that lead to it in the first place. :v Also, Monaca seems to want criminals to get the punishment they deserve, and at least based on the Ryoma chat we know Kyoko at least has standards as a detective. :P

Tsumugi is a BIG fan of Kyoko’s wardrobe, and says she’d feel safe and trust her in a case. Kyoko argues that looks don’t really mean anything if you don’t have the actions to back it up, but Tsumugi still believes they help set a good impression. Two different perspectives, and Tsumugi says because of the look she gives she’d trust Kyoko with a case if she ever got one, and while Kyoko disagrees that her look would change the result, she appreciates the sentiment. Tsumugi also loves her hair, funnily also saying she’s not one who really does “girl talk” (I kinda expected she would given she’d need to know fashion and makeup for cosplay, but I guess in cosplay it’s used differently).

After the festival, an option to watch fireworks with Sayaka is there. Sayaka basically tells her about how she was basically in charge of the restaurant and what it was like for her, feeling proud of what she did and being surprised she can be good at more than just idol stuff. Kyoko happily listens and they watch together.

Kyoko meets up with Shuichi, who has his own fireworks for a barbecue Kaito has. Kyoko assures him he doesn’t have to go along with everything he says, and Shuichi sees her point, noting Maki would probably also hate the fireworks brought there. Shuichi also mentions people from her class are coming, including ones he sees she’s close to like Makoto and Aoi (I haven’t seen that much to think they’re particularly close but it’s still interesting to hear, could also just be Shuichi’s observations too, still nice tho). Kyoko takes note of how hard he’s trying to make everyone happy, too.

Kyoko spots Nagisa alone, who doesn’t appreciate the intrusion and insists nothing happened with the other kids. Kyoko saw he was lonely, and lets him know Kotoko had candy and that lifts his mood so he goes back to them, also noting Monaca probably being tired because of course. :v

Aoi sits by Kyoko at the bonfire and also calls her “Kyokers”. She’s embarrassed to say it out loud before checking with her, but Kyoko is cool with it. Aoi also notices she doesn’t really use nicknames for others, and Kyoko says she has, but not anyone her age (I wonder if she had one for Yui Samidare from the Kirigiri light novels?). She does say if she has something for Aoi she’ll let her know though. Funny how I’m like “are they that close, really?” and then this scene happens where they’re basically on nickname basis, I underestimated their scenes it seems (well I mean we only really got one here so yeah not like I could’ve known :v).

Peko and Kyoko reminisce about the Momotaro play and compliment how well the other did. Peko’s also amazed that they’re now talking to each other, probably because they’re both pretty quiet girls. Apparently Kyoko played a pheasant, and she found it surprisingly enjoyable. XD

Makoto scene. :) They basically discuss Makoto investigating Mahiru’s ghost photo, and Kyoko seems pretty proud of him, aww. Makoto worries he took a job from her and even assumes she may have figured it out herself, but she lets him know it’s all fine. They then sit together and talk trip memories. c:

Final scene... also with Makoto. He was looking for her cuz Mahiru wants some girl photoshoots, but more importantly, Kyoko is deep in thought about being more open emotionally, and whether that will harm her and her impartiality as a detective. Makoto naturally sees this as a good thing, but Kyoko also brings up being close to people led to her making major mistakes. Makoto tries to comfort her, but she initially feels condescended to. Makoto is remorseful, but Kyoko does end up deciding that he’s sincere with his words because that’s just who he is and not simply telling her that. She ultimately acknowledges that her feelings with always be there and she can’t pretend to ignore them, so she’ll have to figure out how to embrace them. Makoto also suggests (despite expecting her to feel condescended to again) she can open up to people if things are bothering her, and while not everyone will have all the answers, they do have unique perspectives. Kyoko says she’ll consider sharing things more if she can (also wanna bet she mainly shares with Makoto lol). I really liked this scene, it definitely took me back to their interactions in the first game and reminded me of why I love their dynamic so much.

So my best friend and I are creating a non-despair sleepover AU for Danganronpa THH, so I thought I’d share some of what we came up with here, so, without further ado:

DR:THH Sleepover AU headcanons, part 1

Makoto enjoys playing first-person shooter games, and often plays with Mukuro

Taka’s hair is naturally white, but he dyes it black because of his lack of confidence

Speaking of which, he puts on his whole personality as a façade to mask his lack of confidence, but meeting Mondo has helped him become much more confident and even start wearing his hair natural

Mondo also helps Chihiro gain his confidence after he comes out to him

Junko, Celeste, Hifumi and Genocider Syo are the biggest gossips, everyone knows to go to them for the tea

Each student takes turns monitoring the school and controlling Monokuma

Furthermore, everyone has their own unique Monokuma robot with their own unique designs, except for Celeste (who just uses her cat) and Mukuro (who shares with Junko)

The entire idea of creating a mascot was Junko’s idea, but Aoi was the one who pitched it to everyone after walking in on Junko test-driving Monokuma

Aoi secretly loves mechs, and often watches various mecha anime (mostly Gundam) with Hifumi

Leon and Sayaka have late-night jam sessions together (much to Makoto’s and Kyoko’s chagrin)

The first couple was Aoi and Sakura, followed shortly afterwards by Makoto, Kyoko and Sayaka as a throuple

Chihiro starts developing video games for the class to play, and gets his fellow classmates to voice act them

Most are visual novels starring Mondo as the main character

Oh yeah, Chihiro has a HUGE crush on Mondo, and is really bad at hiding it

His feelings came to a head after he made a dating simulator starring himself as the MC and Mondo as the love interest (that took a lot of bullshitting from Chihiro to convince Mondo to do)

Meanwhile, everyone’s probably laughing at their mutual cluelessness

Eventually Chihiro, Mondo and Taka start dating each other

Yasuhiro secretly loves doing calligraphy and hangs his works all over his room

Celeste sometimes wanders around the school very late at night wearing a hoodie with cat ears, because she’s only comfortable being herself (I.e. Taeko) when she’s alone

Similarly, Chihiro sometimes dresses up in men’s clothes and wanders around the school late at night

Eventually he runs into Celeste/Taeko, and that encounter is awkward af

Mukuro does cosplay, but she keeps it a secret from everyone

One night, Junko walks in on her in cosplay at 3am, and runs off in shock to talk to Celeste about it

She ends up running into her and Chihiro, and ends up being roped into their secrets

She keeps them for a while but ‘cause she can’t keep her mouth shut, everyone eventually finds out (and is surprisingly supportive, save Byakuya)

Mondo is an amazing hairstylist, and everyone goes to him for all their cosmetic needs

Similarly, Junko loves dressing everyone up in her outfits, and even hand-makes some clothes for her classmates

Mukuro is willing to dress anyone up in cosplay, but she always gets distracted and makes them wear all her military gear instead (which Makoto definitely enjoys)

Everyone jokingly bullies Makoto for being the only neurotypical of the group

Sakura becomes everyone’s personal trainer

She also gives an amazing massage

Aoi loves to bake for everyone, and knows how to make every type of donut imaginable

Sayaka gives singing and dancing lessons every week, and her S/O’s and Leon are always in attendance

Similarly, Junko gives acting and fashion design lessons to whoever wants them

One time Celeste dared Taka to try voice acting in one of Chihiro’s games (pre-Mondo) and it went badly, man had no confidence or skill at all

Eventually Mondo helped him gain enough confidence, and he tried again in a different game, and knocked it out of the park

(he definitely wanted to drop kick the character he was voicing at least 6 times during recording tho)

Makoto T-posing over Byakuya in stilts. That is all

Byakuya is a homophobic piece of trash, sorry simps /hj

Junko owns her own private plane, which she and Mukuro both know how (and do) fly themselves

Byakuya hates them both for that, but Sayaka is super jealous

[hyperfixationtimego]

IDK IF YOU MEANT JUNKO IS HER GF AND BEST FRIEND BUT!!! Celeste/Kyoto friendship, they’re both man haters 💜 /j

I remember a game night thing back then, Clue reinvigorates Celeste’s interest in murder mysteries and she honestly impresses Kyoto when she tricks Togami into revealing his cards (mainly questioning his truthfulness/credibility)

After that, Kyoto and Celeste try to find videos, games, and books of murder mysteries to solve, but with Celeste able to figure out who’s lying and Kyoto’s detecting ability, they’re unstoppable. Junko likes to nitpick the murder mysteries too, even though she likely has no idea who the murderer is.

After a while of their regular things being too easy, one day they walk into the kitchen area to find Chihiro and Sonia (again no idea if this is in character but her cosplayers are always cute) putting some fake blood on Ibuki. Makoto is upsetting the area, like knocking over the knife holder and such. They’re super confused, until Makoto says (very unconvincingly) “:O someone killed Ibuki!!! you guys gotta figure it out”

That becomes the new regular thing, like every other week they make a new murder mystery for the two and they have to solve it (including the fact that some stuff will be inaccurate, and just how the group thinks it would happen). Peko isn’t that fond of it, but she’ll do it if Chihiro gives her the 🥺 look, and both Miu and Leon absolutely love the chance to play characters (I forgot her name but if Peko does it, Tsumugi/blue hair will do it too, she just prefers to be the victim) - queer eye anon

HDBSBSBS NO U WERE RIGHT I MEANT IT LIKE JUNKO’S HER GF AND KYOKO’S HER BEST FRIEND HDBSBSBD DON’T WORRY!!

and yes yes they are 😌

and also !! legit 👀 like. it pisses Togami off to no end (seriously, how did she do that?? how could he be tricked so easily???) but Kyoko’s like “,,,,,oh my god,,,,,,,,such manipulation,,,,,,,such incredible deductive skills,,,,,”

long story short kirigiri develops a squish (platonic equivalent of a crush) on this weird mean goth bitch and just starts hanging around her more often until eventually Celeste is like,,,,,,,,,fine, if I simply MUST adopt you as a best friend, I suppose I will, seeing as I have ABSOLUTELY NO CHOICE in the matter :)

so they start spending more time together, and Kyoko’s usually the one who’s like “hey I found another murder mystery thing we could try-” to which Celeste’s response tends to be more lighthearted “oh, very well, if I absolutely must-”

It’s incredible - no piece of mystery media stands a chance against them <3

also a little off topic and might be a bit ooc, but I think we should all consider buzzfeed unsolved!kyoko and Celeste because that just seems goddamn hilarious to me ndndbdbdbddbd

and BDBSB YEAH THEY’RE SO SWEET?? Makoto came up with the idea, but Sonia and Chihiro are absolutely essential to the operation as a whole.

Sonia’s interest in serial killers provides a necessary take for the psychological perspective of real life cases, so they know for certain it’ll be stimulating for the detective of the two, meanwhile Chihiro’s brainpower allows for both creative and logical placement of clues, red herrings, and more!

Plus, all three of them are absolute sweethearts that most people have trouble saying no to <3 (they’ve even gotten Byakuya to participate once or twice! Celeste and Kirigiri were both delighted and bewildered!)

THEY ALSO GET OUMA INVOLVED BECAUSE HE’S THE ONLY ONE THAT EVER GIVES CELESTE ANY TROUBLE IN DECIPHERING LIES FHSBSBDBSBS (she usually gets it right on account of her own luck, and if she gets it wrong, It tends to be either salvageable or ambiguous enough that she can pretend she was right and nobody can tell they were ever on the wrong track)

Miu pretends like she needs fujisaki, nevermind, and naegi to beg her for her participation, but she’s honestly more than willing because!!! She gets to yell and be loud and have fun and play weirdos!!!! And sometimes she even invents new things for practical effects, just ‘cause she can! And she knows it makes her friends happy!

Leon’s a pretty good actor until Celeste stares him down - then he immediately either loses his nerve or fucks something up ❤️

and dhsbsbdbsbdb Peko!!!! Peko and Fuyuhiko get involved because a) chihiro gave them both the 🥺 face, as you said, and b) fuyuhiko,,,,,,,thinks the concept,,,,,,,,is fun,,,,,,,👉👈 but shut up he’d never admit that!!!

Tsumugi makes costumes!!!! And totally loses herself in the roles!!! She gives the BEST performances, and Celeste and Kyoko are often left sitting there like “wow ok” because hdbdbdvdvdvdvdvddv????

They get Nagito involved a lot, both due to his luck and the fact that he’s very easy to convince (and often comes up with more cool ideas for the scene of the crime/evidence/general concepts!) though, if he’s involved, then Hajime needs to be as well, becauee everyone can only take maeda’s self-deprecating bullshit for so long until they need someone to shut him up hdbdbdbdb

Hiyoko acts like she thinks it’s dumb, but actually really wants to be included 🥺 👉👈 so mahiru takes it upon herself to “force” her into helping

Sakura and Hina love to help however they can! :D I don’t rlly have anything specific for them, I simply think they’re very cool and would be very eager to help because they love their friends <3

Sayaka is INCREDIBLE when it comes to thinking up “murder” plots! Motives, manipulation, the likelihood of certain actions being taken.....+ due to her high intuition, she’s able to discern what types of things kyoko and celeste prefer during their little games! She also provides insight into emotional response for the actors, which helps to make it a lot more immersive!

Mikan gets very very very nervous as a performer and is usually very unreliable in that aspect, but she gives pointers on whether or not certain wounds would be enough to kill a person! She also provides emphasis on vital organs and helps with anatomical accuracy!

Gundham adores being able to give monologues, and the three in charge of everything do their best to give him macabre, weird roles so he can speak and confuse the two girls to his heart’s content ❤️

if they ever need to talk to chiaki during an investigation, they usually need to wake her up, or get her to stop playing a video game (which she’s not supposed to be playing!!!!) in order to interrogate her (she also forgets a lot of the details and evidence she’s supposed to give them shdbsndbsnsb)

she also likes to give chihiro ideas for plots and things, though mostly uses her games as inspiration !

Shuichi and kyoko are friends so he’s like “yyyeah okay I’ll do it” and so by the same token, Kaede is automatically (and emphatically!) involved as well

Kirumi gets involved because if it’s a request, she’ll do it 💛 plus she kinda loves being involved with this stuff ngl jsnsbsn meanwhile ryoma is like this is dumb but if it’ll make u guys happy then I guess I have no choice

Maki’s pretty difficult to convince, ngl, but if kaito pesters her enough, she might drop by to give her two cents on some of the most plausible and effective methods of getting rid of evidence, as well as what she would do if she were in the position of the murderer (makoto and co. are like wow maki thank u very cool we are absolutely terrified)

shinguji makes it a point in the anthology to embarrass himself at the drop of a hat for his friends’ benefits regarding things like this, so they’re obviously in hbdbdbd plus they love being able to study kyoko and celeste’s behavior while working on each “case,” because without a doubt they are two of the most interesting specimens of human thought patterns and processes he’s ever SEEN <3

since it’s for the sake of two girls, Tenko’s very excited to do whatever Sonia or Chihiro asks of her (she’ll do things that Makoto asks, too, but it takes some convincing....) and Himiko.....isn’t a particularly convincing liar to begin with, but her experience with stage trickery comes in handy pretty often! (though they have to practically drag the information out of her shdbsndn)

Angie agrees to participate on the grounds that all of her characters get to bring up and endorse Atua. she gets picked for murder victim quite a lot bsbssbdb

also highkey 👀 the canon cases get re-enacted at some point (for the first game’s third case, they actually let Celeste be in on it as a little treat for Kyoko! it was absolutely bonkers and they both had literally so much fun!!!)
