[catboymoments]

I’ve been thinking about smackamodus so much. I wanna expand on my dgrp nondespair/college au more because as much as canon timeline stuff is interesting to me I love happy endings for those who didn’t get them too !!! Like I wanna think about ishimondo getting married and adopting a bunch of kids, Chihiro and her journey in transitioning, Aoi and Sakura opening a bakery together…. Peace and love on planet earth

Tsumugi is almost done wrapping her gift for Rantaro

How thoughtful!

[dcomposing]

thinking about how the Togami Family™️ holds cruelty and misery as virtues of Strength and how thoroughly engrained that is in togami's character. also thinking about how naegi's whole entire character is that his strength comes from his kindness and desire to create a more pleasant future. thinking about how togami's entire character arc is about realizing that strength comes in many forms and that allowing yourself the space to be emotional actually leads to a greater resilience than just. bottling all of it up. thinking about That.

"Makoto, look at her! She's wonderful!!" "Yeah, but I think your yelling is scaring her..."

A picture I drew of Noriko's birth, back before I came up with Sachiko. This isn't canon anymore, and not just because there should be two babies. ...you'll see.

Someone might’ve already asked this but how do you come up with your fic ideas? A lot of them I’ve never seen before like Love Letter and Motive 5 while others do a unique spin on other things that are more common like Impermanent Attatchment and Fever Frost that make them stand out so much

HOW DO YOU MANAGE THIS

It's sort of a mix of a lot of things ^^" video games, books, shows, music, memes, art ... pretty much anything. For example, M5DP came to be because I replayed Your Turn To Die and got inspired.

I daydream a LOT, so whenever I have an idea, I slam it down into my notes and return to it later. I have a starting note for a lot of my fics actually! (I don't have any for blue eyes shadow of a dead bro though :{ )

(name blurred out for privacy reasons but that is me)

Love Letter came from a huge burst of inspiration at my dads house. I remembered I was writing for myself alone so I just decided to be deranged xD I have a wheel of whump tropes so I gave that a few spins and oh! look! it's love letter

Danganronpa is my current hyperfixation, and Shuichi is my favorite character. So more often than not, no matter how nonsensical or far-removed from the DR plot it becomes, I will almost always insert him into whatever I'm doing. So whatever I'm doing at any moment will automatically become inspiration for an AU. I'm thinking so much all the time that it's kind of hard to just,, not come up with ideas QwQ I have so many ideas that happen in nondespair or post-killing game aus, so in all honesty ?? What I've posted isnt even brushing the tip of the iceberg of what I can come up with. Whether I'll find the courage to post those,, we'll see. i am constantly terrified of public opinion and anything i see as even mildly negative will Ruin my day. I'm a little sensitive lol (⁠＠⁠_⁠＠⁠;⁠)

anyways I also get inspiration from my dreams! When I dream, I often play as Shuichi, so I get put into the Scenarios. I feel like that alone should tell you how much I never stop thinking of this guy (⁠´⁠；⁠ω⁠；⁠｀⁠)

Its midnight rn and i forgot what i was talking about so i'll finish it here (⁠─⁠.⁠─⁠|⁠|⁠） tl;dr inspiration comes from anywhere and everywhere. Don't be afraid to think and don't be afraid to be self indulgent. also i love danganronpa and its characters so of course im going to be insane over them. I remember my first time being trapped in a school forced to slaughter my classmates to get out (⁠ ⁠´⁠◡⁠‿◡⁠`⁠)

anyways im falling asleep sitting here sooo. goodnight! :p

It's so interesting to me the amount of fics I've either started or outlined before leaving them behind because of the length, including but not limited to:

Lillie going on a journey in Kanto following the end of the Sun and Moon story

Full-length Danganronpa PJO au

Pokespe Beauty and the Beast au

Pokespe putting on Heathers

Team Rocket gaining a new (temp) member in Alola who infiltrates the Pokemon school

Secondary/"forgotten" protags vs primary protags (ex. Leaf vs Red)

Kinda messed-up fic where Junko tries to figure out what Kyoko's hiding under her gloves that I'm definitely never finishing bc wtf was I thinking back in 2018

Obligatory shoutout to the Pokespe high school au my friend and I never finished

Tokomaru/Syomaru family au with Shuichi as their kid (nondespair, they also adopted the Warriors)

Yellow in the anime world

do you have any good no despair komahina au fanfics

my favorite nondespair fic of all time is i can’t take you anywhere by dimolto !! hate to admit how much you mean to me by velvetdove is really good, technically pregame but like same thing. i also have a soft spot for blue irises by voceamoris, very very fluffy

[mysteriousdoll]

Is there a reason Kyoka is dressed the way she dress ? Or is she just dress like this for funsies ?

Also like, Akira is very interesting to me so if you can go into more details about him it would be neat <3

A very good question regarding Kyoya—to which the answer is simple: Doll likes women :). For a more legit answer tho, Kyoya was initially based on Mastermind!Taka, pushing a “forcing equality (in the sense of ridding people of individuality) would ensure an absence of harassment and ridicule” before she was reworked to no longer be just some other villainous alter stereotype. She still holds an ideology of equality, and even an appreciation of despair partly because… danganronpa. But this comes in a mentality of embracing hope and despair together, wanting a healthy blend of both, trying to push that it’s important to let ourselves feel sadness *and* joy, instead of one over the other. Thus her design reflects this duality with the black and white. Think less Monokuma, and more BTAS Two Face (but without the crime, just the symbolism)

As for Akira—they are my special little guy :>.

I’ll get to drawing it eventually, but to kind of spoil it, the comic I’m planning sort of explains Akira’s mentality of “trust no one” in regards to the revival au.

However—unlike your typical Kiyondo—they exist even in nondespair timelines. And still has that mindset, to a degree. Years of harassment, abuse, and physical torture that teachers would straight up watch, have led to Akira struggling to find trust in most people, suspecting most people to just be planning another attack.

This also leads to them being a bit too paranoid for their own good, often having to be calmed down by Kyoya or even Taka.

Although, Akira does have some meaningful relationships—most strong of them being with Sakura. She was the first to find out about Taka being a system due to finding Akira having a very violent breakdown, far too stressed out to properly mask. When she initially tried to calm them down, they snapped at her, insisting she, too, was planning to “get them”. When she only responded with patience and kindness, they eventually settled down, soon even confiding in her. On a more sweet note, they’re the one who had managed to convince Sakura that, yes, Hina was very much into her.

Another relationship of theirs worth noting is far more on the romantic side, with everyone’s favorite polyamorous golden retriever, Makoto Naegi. Akira finds his moments where he lacks foresight to be charming, often describing his idiocy as “cute”.

A relationship they don’t have, however—is with Mondo. They DESPISE Mondo, insisting he’s a “pervert trying to make nice with the sweet guy”. Unsurprisingly, their equally brash and biting personalities clash terribly, to a point where neither can discuss the other without throwing in at least one insult.
