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

In the new year, I think I’m going to be drawing a lot more danganronpa. Just for fun. Headcanons upon ye.

"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.

Yeah! I love hinata-ex-machina postgames for him but it can be so powerful and bittersweet when fanworks leave him terminal and explore that. It can add a lot to DR's themes and from a representation perspective for someone to still find fulfilment knowing they'll die soon, and as Komaeda's deepest desire was to not die alone and unloved we can explore him dying surrounded by people that love him and how he would process that.

Death happens to all of us eventually. It just happens sooner for some people than others.

Even when he is cured there's a lot of potential to explore his FTD worsening beforehand and him being left with lifelong symptoms afterwards. I think its progression would be arrested, not reversed, though perhaps he would find ways to improve in some areas in the long term between coping mechanisms and the adaptability of human brains. Maybe he wouldn't age as well as others due to what he's been through as well. Maybe he'd always be in and out of hospitals with new problems due to his luck. There's a lot we can do.

I understand why a lot of fanworks don't take into account Komaeda's multiple terminal illnesses (it's a bummer, undermines your happy ending, luck ex machina, etc) but honestly I wish it came up more often. I wanna see that man in the grave.

do you have fic recs for danganronpa. I liked theoretical friction of lucky stars that was a banger

i only read komahina/kamukoma so you are only getting komahina/kamukoma recs BUT ! here are my favs

warm steel and cold hands is a postgame komahina fic, long time fav for me. definitely a quite wacky premise but the smut scenes are all skippable if youre not interested and its actually a really fluffy and cozy read. takes a far more wholesome approach then theoretical friction

i cant take you anywhere is a non despair komahina slowburn where they go on a road trip its suuper cute and fluffy. many shenanigans

defy you stars is a postgame komahina fic that id highly recommend if you liked theoretical friction, theyve defo got that same weird situationship going on. fluff and angst and also a shakespeare motif. if i had to choose a favorite fic out of everything ive read from any fandom it would have to be this one hands down it made me cry 3 times while reading

out for blood is a cute komahina werewolf vampire au. i read it every halloween

star stitches is a really good little kamukoma oneshot that makes me ill

unveiling is the first part of the hallowed be thy name series, despair era kamukoma. i havent read the series in a while because its on the darker side from my memory, but i do remember it having super good characterization (notably for izuru) and capturing the tragedy era feel perfectly. the best despair kamukoma slowburn ive read its got romantic arson and everything. you need to be logged in to read it if the link doesnt work

izuru kamukura’s cuddly toy is a classic nondespair kamukoma fic. as you can tell by the title it definitely took a more lighthearted approach lol. very cute and sweet if youre not into the constant feeling of impending doom that despair era gives. complete opposite end of the kamukoma characterization spectrum

Sending out a call to the Ishimondo bros here on Tumblr to hmu with some long ass, banger Ishimondo fics. I've searching like a madman, but I've had a hard time finding stuff that clicks with me.

Preferences:

-No Doomed Yaoi pls. I want these boys to be happy together

-NonDespair AUs generally preferred

-HurtComfort is fun

-Angst with happy ending too

-I tend to stray away from incomplete fics unless they're known to still be ongoing

Otherwise, I don't really care. I'm Blue_The_Boy_Kisser on Ao3 if you wanna check the Ishimondo fics I've already read :3

That should be all. Thanks in advance for any and all help!!

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
