#mukuro and leon just like to talk shit lmao

[le-agent-egg]

finally made a few doodles for the thh splatoon au

just trying to figure out how the idol groups would announce the news

[hyperfixationtimego]

Also I’m so sorry if I ever hyperfixate or brainrot too hard I’m just

Brain is

Brrting with non despair aus where taka is happy and Leon and Sayaka are like

The Frenemies Trope

The Pettiest People Ever Known To Hope’s Peak

literally Punk vs Prep

Surf & Turf— WAIT WHAT IF SURF N TURF AU AND LIKE YOUVE ALREADY GOT ONE SIDE FIGURED OUT BC CRAZY DIAMONDS oh that’s too many thoughts I’m so sorry lmao

OH MY GOD I WOULD DIE FOR YOU PLEASE DON’T WORRY ABOUT HYPERFIXATING TOO HARD I PROMISE IT’S IMPOSSIBLE I LOVE THIS SO MUCH???

Yes!!!! Happy taka!!!!! Happy taka happy taka happy taka!!! Sometimes being the hall monitor is difficult but you know what??? He has friends and classmates who love and understand him that he can talk to when he needs it!!!!! Everything is okay and despair does not exist it’s fine!!

aLSO UM YES?? YES YEAH EXCUSE ME PLEASE I FUCKING LOVE THAT???? GOD SOME HBDBSBD SOME GODDAMN MF TEEN BEACH MOVIE SHIT UP IN HERE SHSNSBDBSBDB

sssooo many,,,,,,,starcrossed lover ships,,,,,I’m crying??? hdvsbdvvsvd like......idk man just? sorry idk if u like these ships I’m just rambling but 👉👈ishimondo I feel is an obvious one and I’m 🥺🥺🥺 because OH?? I love them that’s SO VALID and just. u know what?? makuwata too okay we’re going there

Mondo, after seeing taka shirtless and surfing and generally being a cutie: ......I might got a crush on a surfer

Leon: are you a fucking moron-

—

Leon, after having accidentally bumped into Makoto and talking to him for .05 seconds: ....f u c k

And there are a bunch more too but I wanna talk abt friendship dynamics within the groups for a sec because OH????

like taka and chihiro are surfer friends and chihiro is really the only person taka feels he can talk to about his feelings because she’s kinda??? The only one who knows him well enough??? and I think that’s pog (it’s sad but it gets better so dw dw dw he gets happy ending because of course he does he deserves it)

Makoto and Komaru are also surf, but Makoto doesn’t rlly surf so much as hang out and chill at the beach and cheer his lil sis on while she hangs ten on some bangin waves (because fuck yeah we love Komaru). He thinks the rivalry is kinda stupid highkey hsbsbsbsbdbd and he and Sayaka are best friends

Mukuro USED to be a biker, but has since switched over to the beach because there are so many pretty girls on that side and she just thinks they’re neat, but internally she misses being a biker and she’ll always be a turf at heart 😔 (which a few ppl are wary of - that’s another reason she misses being a biker; because she doesn’t have as many friends as she used to)

Junko......is not on either side :) she’s employed as a lifeguard (HORRIBLE IDEA) and instigates conflict between the groups whenever she can. she just thinks it’s fun :)

KAZUICHI IS OBV THE BIKERS’ MECHANIC AND IDK DUDE HE’S JUST PRETTY RAD Y’KNOW? Except a bunch of people don’t REALIZE he’s a biker because he CAN’T RIDE HIS OWN GODDAMN MOTORCYCLES AND STILL HAS BRIGHT PINK HAIR HANSBDSNBDDB

OH ALSO?? SORRY SORRY I KNOW I KEEP GETTING SIDETRACKED WITH SHIPS BUT I JUST THINK IT WOULD BE SO FUNNY IF HE AND GUNDHAM STARTED SEEING EACH OTHER BECAUSE THEY MISTOOK THE OTHER AS BEING PART OF THEIR OWN GANG HSNSBSNSBDDB

Gundham: I-....you’re a biker? Why have I never seen you with them , then??

Kazuichi, crying: i hAVE MOTION SICKNESS-

he has to walk everywhere and I think that’s valid 😌 (also I’m not rlly a big bubblegum rock shipper but I did just get a vision of Leon offering to give Kaz a ride on his motorcycle, slow enough that Kaz’ll be okay, but also definitely quicker than if he were to travel on foot and god.....smh 👀👀)

Celeste pays for a lot of shit for the bikers and nobody??? really knows why??? Mondo asks her once and she’s just “because....I find you quite entertaining.” and leaves it at that and everyone’s just ???? bitch okay???? (people offer to give her rides on their bikes and the expression she gives them always looks as though they just spit in her face and called it a compliment)

And also Leon and Sayaka going from enemies to frenemies because they’re both close with Makoto and both are really prideful in their side’s status hsbsbsbsb like Sayaka is like “koto I love you but you are dating a DIRTY BIKER” and Leon being like -m- 🔪

I have more but I’ll stop here bsbsbsbd I’m rlly sorry if this was too specific with ships and stuff I just got excited hsnsbsbdbdb

I like both Nonbinary She/They Peril and Mtf She/Her Peril

They're both such good concepts

She's a lesbian, Harold

She only had a crush on Clay bc he was pretty much everything she was supposed to like in a guy

Gimme a moment while I force all my mental disorders onto this poor child

Autistic, Anxiety (Social anxiety, mainly, but she has most types), Adhd, PTSD

I'd like to reiterate yet again that She's a lesbian

Sunny and Glory were her gay awakening

Peril in Book 1: Damn, Sunny and Glory sure are pretty. Anyone would be lucky to date them. Clay would probably go for them over me. He would be stupid if he didn't. I myself would willingly date them over someone like me. They're just so pretty :(

Peril waking up in a cold sweat in the middle of arc 2: WAIT-

Rarepair alert but Peril/Sora

Peril meeting Sora: "Hmmm She's attractive. I would love to date her. Too bad I'm straight and in love with her brother lmao :P"

Peril, a mere month later, waiting for Ruby to leave Jade Mountain, pacing in her cave, running face first into a wall: WAIT-

I remember reading this one amazing story where Sora taught Peril to read/write and Peril found out she set off the bomb and comforted her/convinced her her run so that's canon now

Btw if anyone can remember what that story was called/what platform it was on and could tell me I'd appreciate it very much

I'd even be willing to draw a character of your's or make you an icon or something

I usually don't accept requests bc I get burnt out easy but this is a special case

She runs into Sora again sometime between the beginning of TOP and the end

I like to imagine she just goes wandering around

Anyway she confesses like a mere few minutes after running into her again bc Peril is just subtle like that

The actual confession takes 15 minutes and the entire time Sora is just sitting here like "👁👄👁 sure"

Bam Peril/Sora

Peril plans to keep it a secret for a little while longer but she spends 3 seconds around Clay and pretty much blurts it out

Clay, who wasn't even aware that Peril was a lesbian, is just "👁👄👁"

I wanna say Clay doesn't know what a lesbian is but in my canon Sunny is a lesbian so Starflight has already told him

Anyway he's super supportive

From that point Peril is sorta open about her sexuality?

Like, she gives Clay permission to tell the rest of the D.O.D bc she isn't about to risk being in front of them when they hear the news

(When Sunny starts actively seeking her out as a hang out buddy and Tsunami, Glory, and Starflight appear to tolerate her presence just a bit more afterwards she pretends she isn't confused by the change)

She's pink, white, and blue bc I said so

If you look at a certain angle in the right lighting her eyes, mouth, fire, and under her scales all look purple

But her fire is normally white and blue bc I said so

Also she pale as fuck bc in my canon their fire just sorta burns their colour away

You know how you leave something outside for too long and it gets sunbleached? Where it gets all washed out?

Like that but more extreme

By the age of 10-12 firescale dragons are just white with pale eyes

That's right not even the eyes are safe

Ram horns :P

I'm also fond of Peril/Sunny

Or maybe Peril/Sora/Sunny

But Peril/Sora is the main thing

On the topic of that bringing in my hc that if one sib in a sib group is fire resistant all of them are

She,,, She can change her scale colour

But only slightly and only if her emotions are strong enough

Bc I don't give a fuck about Darkstalker's scroll we were robbed of hybrid Peril

Unfortunately all of Peril's emotions are strong

Rainwing ruff along her head and neck

It's like a hood

It's mainly smoothed to her sides but when she's startled it flares out

RAINWING PUPILS

Y'all will know what those look like as soon as I get off my ass :P

She,,, She can mimic bird cries

Hates the summer

She has more than enough body heat already and the outside is just hot enough to add on and make her feel sick

She can somewhat control her heat but most of the time it's based on her emotions

It can go from standing-in-the-middle-of-a-burning-building-cant-see-your-nose-smoke-is-so-thick heat (Strong emotion) to Hey-thats-a-nice-cozy-campfire heat (Calm/"weak" emotion/Sleeping)

I'm just gonna make a different post with all my Peril hcs cuz there isnt enough room for all of them here

[nctsukashii-archive-blog]

🌻

Let me tell you whatever the fuck I want.

I love debating, as I’ve mentioned before, so let’s talk about something in connection to that!

Gish Galloping is something you’ve probably seen in arguments before, or unfortunately have had done to you. This is when, in an argument, someone will try to overwhelm their opponent with arguments rather than actually try to argue about the original topic. It’s basically trying to overload someone with statements that they have to refute rather than letting them actually talk, which makes it a really sleazy trick in debating. 

Think of it as kind of like forcing someone into a panic attack by overstimulating them. By repeatedly barraging someone with questions and accusations- you make someone panic so they start spouting things out to make their opponent be quiet and to defend themselves. As a result the person being attacked can end up looking like the ‘childish’ one for ‘not being able to handle a debate’. This is a trick generally used to make people look like fools, as they tend to repeat themselves more often and yell more, as well as just openly panic or cry. It can also be used in court to make someone talk, as when someone is panicking they tend to not think the clearest and can end up giving away information that they otherwise would have kept secret. You can see prosecutors doing this a lot, as this is a trick which makes people just say whatever to get out of the conversation faster, which sometimes means just agreeing with whatever someone says to make them shut up. Hence why people that do it are generally regarded as assholes, or just overall disgusting people.

Under the cut, but I also wanna take a small swing at who out of the main 3 games could probably do it well. Not including the anime or UDG just because I don’t think I’m too well versed in those to answer them well.

DR.1

Naegi: Naegi’s more of a “find the flaws” kind in debating. He’d look for faults in statements rather than trying to subdue his opponent. That and I don’t think he just has the heart in him to be so ruthless lmao. So no, he can’t do it.Sayaka: I want to say that she can’t do it the best. She’s prolly had to fight tooth and nail for her status as an idol, meaning she can take it really well, but she prolly can’t dish it out. While again, having to fight for her job, I don’t think this is a trick she would have probably used.Leon: This guy is one that would be gish galloped easily. Not a good debater, just because he doesn’t really have the type of motivation to argue with someone about anything because why would he when he’s right? lmao.Chihiro: Bruh Chihiro can’t hurt anyone’s feelings, so why do you think Chihiro would ever gish gallop? How dare you.Mondo: Mondo can’t debate for his life without getting pissed off when someone uses words that make them sound smart. He’s not a talking type of guy, so he prolly can’t do it.Celes: She could do it. Probably only to people that haven’t spent years looking at a dictionary, but she has a sharp tongue that she actually does try to use in the trial! Hence by bringing up subjects like the camera or the times- she’s purposefully trying to lead people off track with these kinds of questions. She doesn’t do it quickly enough for it to work well, but she tried and I’ll give her that.Ishimaru: Any form of dishonest debate probably riles him up to no end, and the idea of overwhelming a person rather than truly debating with them is not something he likes. He hates the idea, and even though he’s loud and passionate he’d never try to overwhelm someone with information. Hifumi: I could see him do it about anime, but not anything serious. Like, if he knows he’s getting outplayed in an anime debate, he’d ask shit about weird filler episodes or bg characters just to make someone look like a fool. Sakura: She’s honorable as fuck, and while I believe she’d stand up for what she believes is true, wouldn’t be one to debate on what idea is truly ‘right’ in a sense. So no, she wouldn’t do it either.Mukuro: Considering how stone cold she can be, I wanted to say yes, but I also remember she can’t talk for shit. She’d prolly just stab someone rather than debate with them, so no, gish galloping is not her strong suit.Junko: Considering her talent, she could do it with ease and know exactly what to say to make someone just the absolute right amount of pissed off.Togami: He could do it. He would do it and use a big vocab to make someone really pissy too, because he’s that type of guy. Aoi: She’s not a debater, so no, I don’t think so. And she’s too nice, because even tho she can’t debate she’d want to use facts! Playing w/ someone’s feelings is mean.Fukawa: No, because why would she debate with people? They already hate her, so fuck their opinions, why should she care?Sho: Also no, she much like Mukuro, is the stabby type. Not because she can’t talk, but she just hates sitting around doing nothing when she could be stabbing a hot guy.Kirigiri: She could do it, I definitely believe she could, but she wouldn’t because it doesn’t line up with her morals.Hagakure: I could see him doing it to dodge having to pay some debt. Instead of topics related to the debate at hand he’d just ask shit like how the weather is or something until he annoys the other person so much he makes them yell at him to go away. He’s the Bugs kinda guy, “rabbit season duck season” kinda tactic.

SD.R2

Hinata: ERRrr no. He’s stubborn and sassy, but he’s not like, actively gunna go out of his way to do that to people. He’s just a normal dude, honestly he’d hate to argue w/ some ultimates that way. Souda: Nope. He has it done to him more than anything, and his tongue gets too tied for him to really debate well either. Have you seen him argue? dude just can’t.Gundam: He’d probably end up doing it to someone accidentally, like just by being himself with his speaking style and everything he could probably just naturally overwhelm someone that way. lol.Sonia: She could, just because as a princess she was probably told to look out for that kinda thing by reporters or interviewers or people, but she wouldn’t do it because it’s a dirty trick.Twogami: Despite his attitude, I don’t think so. Twogami’s just too nice to actually do that to someone, lmao.Ibuki: Nah. She’s too nice to do it intentionally, but I could see her doing it accidentally to someone just by being her hyperactive self.Saionji: Yes. She would do it just because it makes people panic. Can’t fight back if they can’t speak right? Mikan: I want to say that she could, but unless she was playing her cards right she wouldn’t be able to. Her nature gets in the way of it, just because she stutters so often, but considering everything else I do believe she has the potential to.Teruteru: Can’t. He wants to say he can, but he can’t. He’s too softhearted to do something like that, and even if he tried he’d be bad at it. Akane: Also can’t, just because she’s a punch first kind rather than debate kind.Chiaki: Too tired to debate, but she’d not be the best considering her slow speaking style. That kinda debate doesn’t jive w/ her well anyways.Komaeda: He’d do it. 100% he’d do it only to test out everyone’s skills as ultimates just because they’d be able to overpower the despair of his trashy conversation skills.Fuyuhiko: He probably could, but he’d rather fight out a problem than debate about it. He’s got a Yakuza image to withhold, and even then I think he’d just consider it kinda scummy.Peko: She prolly wouldn’t just b/c she just goes w/ what Fuyuhiko does. But even then on her own, I don’t think she would. She’s not the type to do that kinda stuff.Mahiru: That’s fuccin rude dog she ain’t no disrespectin thot. She’d talk about things in her angry motherly kinda way, but not ever to the extent of Gish Galloping someone.Nekomaru: Nope, but he’s the encouraging type. He’d rather support someone to follow their dreams than argue with someone. That and he can respect people’s wishes, even if he doesn’t agree with them always. V honorable dude.

V3

Saihara: Nope. Another one that gets too tongue-tied in conversations. That and he wouldn’t- he’s seen other detective’s do it, but it doesn’t sit right with him.Kaito: Has it done to him more than he could ever do it to others. That shit ain’t manly but that’s really just him saying that he can’t do it so that means it’s bad.Kaede: Nope! Too nice to, but even then I don’t think she’d ever be able to do just because it doesn’t jive w/ her well.Kirumi: Given the circumstances, yes; she absolutely could. That’s actually kind of what she does in her Showdown Rebuttal, but with big words rather than actual arguments. Intending to confuse someone rather than actually let them talk. Maki: Nope. Debating isn’t her thing, because she doesn’t really care to debate about anything. Her opinions are hers, others are theirs, and as long as it doesn’t bother her she prolly doesn’t give enough of a fuck to really fight anyone about it. Even then, she’s surprisingly smart when forming rebuttal topics, so I don’t think she would.Ouma: Yes. Ouma absolutely would but mainly just to piss people like Kaito off. Would he use it in like, an actual debate? Debatable in itself, but in stupid arguments he would 100%.Iruma: She tries to sound smart despite not having enough information a lot of the time in trials- she didn’t even know what an alibi was okay tbh I don’t think she’d be good at it. Kiibo: I also don’t think he’d be good at it, just because he doesn’t seem like the type to. If he’s going to debate with someone he’ll do it fair and square.Amami: .......yes.Shinguuji: He could do it, but I don’t think he would unless it’s necessary to. He’d much rather have a proper debate or discussion on something, but if emotions get high he’d turn to it as more of a last resort tactic.Angie: I wanna say yes, purely because I think her only real answer would be “god thinks this” in debates, so she’d just fuckin deadass ask people shit to make them shut up.Tenko: Nope. She’s not a debater either, so she just wouldn’t be good at it. And she’s an emotional gal, why would she want to make someone distraught? Even if they’re a man, that’s a dirty trick, it’d make her no better than those degenerates.Himiko: She’s too lazy to debate tho, so no. She would prolly have it done to her a few times though, just due to not caring about things.Hoshi: I want to say that he probably could, just because he’s had it done to himself before most likely by detectives, but also because he just uses his head often and could realize that he could just say shit to make someone be quiet, but he wouldn’t. He’s not the type to, and it’s uncool in his mind to do that.Gonta: Nope! While he’s not dumb, he wouldn’t be the best at debates just because he thinks he’s dumb, so he’d just nod along to things rather than actually form an argument. Unless it’s about bugs, but even then he’d use facts rather than Gish Gallop someone. Tsumugi: Debate-ably she kinda does it in the 6th trial, with trying to make everyone so overwhelmed they just vote or do anything, so yes, in some circumstances she would. But most of the time, no, she’s not the debating type.

[le-agent-egg]

Sorry I keep talking about Rivers but I just wanna. Get some thoughts out about him. I think for someone who plays a lot of rock music and shit he’s really shy and socially awkward, most of it stemming from trying to figuring out his gender, like he plays bass (which people joke about the bass player being forgotten between everyone else in the band) and doesn’t sing in any of the songs that he writes himself by the way, because his voice is still pretty feminine (he kinda has a voice you would expect a tomboy in middle school to have, like it’s deep and raspy but it’s still feminine in terms of like cadence and bullshit). So even though he made his band and he writes all the songs, he refuses to sing and talk in interviews because he’s so scared of people “figuring him out” if that makes sense. Like even with all the encouragement from his family he’s like “fuck I don’t wanna be super out there…” lot’s of internalized gender issues :(

I think it would be cute if some of the squad went on to teach at Hope’s Peak later in life, specifically Sayaka being a music teacher and being all “We’re gonna host a Battle of the Bands!” And everyone is like “aw man Rivers you should sign up :D” so he puts his band down and later that night he’s like “FUCK WHAT HAVE I DONE” and he’s just stressing to shit like “mom please god can I back out” and Sayaka’s like “you can, but I’d really encourage you to perform!” So Rivers is just worrying about performing in front of like a few thousand people for a pretty long time, like I’m talking revamping some of the songs he’s wrote just to make sure he doesn’t need to show up much in them :(

One thing though that I really wanna work on is Rivers’ relationship with his stepparents, and while I have some ideas for Mukuro I think it’s better if Makoto is the one to give him a little boost of confidence. Like it’s 2 in the morning and Rivers is like reworking a bunch of stuff, and Makoto comes down like “What are you doing kid?” And he just starts explaining about everything he’s worrying about, like “I don’t know if I can go on stage, I can’t just be myself because I’m still figuring out who I am, I should have never signed up for this I’m gonna screw up so bad” and then Makoto’s like “I know what you mean, it’s kinda hard dealing with not knowing exactly who you are” because of the whole lucky student thing where he’s just an average guy who was in a school for literally the best of the best, like man I want Rivers to bond with Makoto sooooooo bad because I feel like up until that point Rivers would still kinda see him as his stepdad and just someone who lives in the same house as he does yk. ANYWAY

So Rivers decides to just say “fuck it” and takes a risk of not only just using his original songs, but writing one where he’s the focus with like bass and singing. And he’s panicking to his band one week before the competition “GUYS. UH. I’VE GOT A NEW SONG WE GOTTA REHEARSE” so they go about the performance as usual and then Rivers is like “well. Here goes nothing” and he!! Actually has a lot of fun! Like yeah people are surprised that he’s the star for even like one song because he’s so shut off lmao!

So they don’t end up getting first, maybe like third or fourth, but everyone is like “all that matters is that you got out and put yourself out there!” And wahhh it’s kinda the catalyst for Rivers to get a bit of his confidence back and figure out who he is… also I definitely think after all is said and done Leon and Sayaka would be like fucking sobbing lmao and Makoto just gives him a little smirk and thumbs up hehe

Also, if they do an encore performance I think it would be very silly if everyone is like “You guys should play Hot To Go” just for the obligatory “I hope they play Hot To Go!” Meme haha
