#oumasai good thank you for this lol

[dingdongrumba]

i'm too basic for my own good. saiouma, for the ship meme, please?

Buddy you're absolutely valid

How do much do I ship it?: Never heard of it/ Notp / Dislike / used to ship / maybe / ship it / aww / otp / IS IT CANON YET?

Hell yeah baybeeeeee I'm all about dem protagonist/distruptor ships!

What non sexual activities do they like to do together?

Is it too basic if I say play board games and other puzzle games together? Kokichi just has a natural ability to think outside the box and cheat the systems while Shuichi plays by the rules but is really good at coming up with the best strategies and thinking scenarios! They might even play DnD as well lmao I'd see them having a really good time with that!

Who does chores around the house?

Ooohh definitely Shuichi lmao, Kokichi is a brat, he needs to be dragged around to do literally anything lmao

Who’s the better cook?

Actually I think this would be Kokichi! Shuichi is actually very clumsy with his hands and Kokichi had to do a lot of his own cooking and taking care of himself growing up, so he actually turned out to be a decent cook!

Who’s the funniest drunk?

Lol probably Shuichi, alcohol makes you more loose so Shuichi is definitely the one that goes through a bigger change. Kokichi thinks it's hilarious and also kinda hot >w>

Do they have kids?

I think both of them would like kids, actually!! I'd even go as far as to say they'd have at least two!

Do they have any traditions?

April Fools is always a w a r in the saiouma house lmao. Kokichi tries to hide as many pranks and tricks as possible around the house and Shuichi has to use his detective skills to find as many of them as possible!

What do they fight about?

Kokichi's lying is definitely something Shuichi tries to correct cause sometimes it's just not healthy. He understands Kokichi's point of view but Kokichi does have real lying issues sometimes.

What would they do if they found their paring tag on tumblr? (If they have one)

Kokichi would absolutely r e v e l on it, he goes through pages and pages and pages and he checks the tag constantly cause "oh my god these are great I want all of these to happen- is that matching outfits? Oh my god we have to try that out-" Meanwhile Shuichi is completely embarrassed lmao he only peeks at it and dies

Who cried at the end of Marley and me?

As emo as Shuichi is, I don't think he'd be the type to cry during movies much! So it would be Kokichi lol, especially because there was an animal involved, Kokichi has a weak spot for animals 😔

Who always wins at Mario kart?

Hohohoho, Kokichi, definitely, he's very competitive and he developed strategies and cheats to assure his victory lmao. Shuichi is a mediocre player at best 😂

One thing I like about this ship?

Kokichi fucking needs someone to understand him man, and I think Shuichi is a good option for him! I also just like the healing aspect of all the distrust that was directed towards Kokichi q-q I just want people to try and better understand what his actions were fkskgkdg

One thing I don’t like about the ship?

I think you might need to fix a lot about Shuichi's character to properly work towards what I just said, unlike Hajime with Komaeda for example, I don't think Shuichi was trying to understand Ouma as much as he should've.

The song I would say fits them?

(I'm actually gonna skip this one for all ships because I'm really bad at assigning songs to characters/ships fjdkgkskt)

Another headcanon about the paring? (Free space)

Sometimes Kokichi goes around the house and scares Shuichi with his gd clown mask gnskgrFKFKS

Day 5 - Saiouma Week - Flowers - Helpful Advice

Ship: Oumasai/Saiouma

Words: 1274

Type: Fantasy AU/Fluff

Trigger Warning: Swear words

Posted: 08.06.20

Description: After an argument with his knight, Kaito, Shuichi heads into the castle gardens. And unexpectedly finds good advice! 

“Sidekick! Where are you going?” Kaito yells after the blue haired prince.

Shuichi stomps out of the castle, angry tears spilling on the stone ground. It was a peaceful night, crickets singing with the stars above them, not matching the betrayal inside Shuichi’s heart. He grips onto his sword around his hip with the urge to cut something down. He could hear Kaito chase after him, but he doesn’t stop. 

“Kaito had one simple order. One fucking job. The first order I ever gave him in all my life and he decides to ignore it.” 

He picks up the pace before turning a sharp corner and running behind the castle. Panting, he reaches the castle garden, the hedges inviting him in with the sweet scent of flowers. As Shuichi is about to enter the garden, a hand on his shoulder stops him. 

“Sidekick-” 

“Don’t call me that,” Shuichi growls, shoving Kaito off. 

Kaito looks at the usually calm prince in disbelief. Shuichi’s honey eyes were brimming with fury, his white puffy sleeved shirt under the blue vest was stained with tears, his black pants and boots tainted with dirt. 

“Prince Saihara. Why are you mad?” Kaito steps back. 

“You disobeyed my order.”

“I got new orders from your father and-” Kaito tries to explain before getting cut off by Shuichi. 

“You’re my knight, aren’t you?! I gave you an order to not harm any of the guild members or the leader!” Shuichi inhales a breath, “and you decided to slaughter the entire guild along with Maki and Himiko!” 

“They were resisting and the King said ‘if they are resisting, end them’, besides they have been causing all sorts of trouble around the kingdom!” 

“Trouble!?” Shuichi shouts, “they do harmless pranks, but they still help the kingdom by doing quests!”

“Prince Saihara, stop making this a bigger deal than it needs to be. Why do you even care what happens to DICE?” Kaito clenches his fists, ready to draw his sword. 

“These are my people’s lives!” Shuichi steps towards Kaito, “how could I not?!” 

“Prince Saihara, you need to calm-” 

“As my knight...you should know how important it is-” 

“Shut the hell up!” Kaito screams, “as my friend, you should know why I can’t disobey your father!” 

This made Shuichi stop. He forgot all about Kaito’s feelings, he shivers remembering his father’s words to Katio. 

“Dare disobey me and I’ll hurt your precious Maki Roll.”  

He got too caught up with his feelings for DICE's leader. Kokichi Ouma. His secret lover. “Shuichi, listen to yourself! You hurt Kaito! How pathetic…” 

“I’m sorry! I’m so sorry, Kaito! I-” Shuichi places a hand over his mouth before Kaito bows. 

“Talk to me when you calm down more, Sidekick,” Kaito says before walking off, leaving Shuichi alone with his thoughts. 

“No use if I say sorry now...he’ll only think I said it only because I have to…” 

Shuichi starts to sulk into the garden, his footsteps becoming sluggish amongst the green grass. After walking through rows of white roses, he reaches the middle of the garden, where a huge willow tree is. 

He slouches his back against the tree before falling down, hugging his knees while releasing salty tears. Guilt creeps up on his shoulders, “why...am I...so...careless...I’m such...an...idiot…”

“Why is my beloved with such a pretty face, crying?” 

Shuichi jumps up and draws his sword, scanning for the voice. Then, he spies Kokichi hanging upside down from a tree branch, his black clock making him look like a bat. His purple vest, white long sleeve shirt and pants were tattered and bloody. The crossbow on his back is like a pair of wings.   

“Whoever is doing this! Show yourself!” Shuichi gets into a fighting stance, his eyes darting at every moving shadow. 

“Oh, Beloved! No illusion magic! It truly, truly is me! Or is it?” Kokichi jumps down from the tree, his brown boots landing softly onto the grass, and begins to approach the unconvinced Shuichi. 

 “Prove it to me! Where’s your evidence?” Shuichi spits out, “why would anyone do this? Is something trying to trick me? Is it Himiko? Did Kaito tell her about the fight we had?” 

Kokichi stops before laughing, “remember when we first met...I stumbled into the garden, knocking on death’s door. Despite your father, you snuck me into the palace and nursed me back to health! Or when we were going to DICE for the first time and on the way, I guess you heard my stomach grumble, and bought me loads of grapes!” 

Shuichi faintly smiles at the memory, but continues to hold his grip on his sword. “A-are you really...alive?” 

“Along with half of DICE…” Kokichi pulls his black cloak closer to him, looking away from him, causing the clown mask on the side of his head to cover his face. 

Shuichi places his sword back in its sheath before running to embrace Kokichi, both boys falling onto the ground. “I’m sorry! I really am! I ordered Kaito not to attack! But...but...but my bastard of a father-” 

“It was bound to happen, beloved. I was able to get out 5,000 members and myself, of course. I should have been more prepared to handle an attack!” Kokichi sighs. 

“It’s still my fault in the end!” Shuichi sobs into Kokichi’s chest, smelling his usual scent of grapevine.

“Awww, no it’s not! You can’t control your father's actions! Buttttt-” Kokichi wiggles out from under him, sitting in a criss cross position and stares at him with childish eyes. 

“You can control yours,” Kokichi flicks his forehead. 

“Did you hear my argument with Kaito?” Shuichi leans against him, their shoulders touching, “I thought you didn’t know?” 

“Oops! That was a lie! Nishishi~” 

Shuichi resists rolling his eyes, “I wouldn’t have expected anything less…” He slightly lifts Kokichi’s mask only to give him a quick peck on his lips. 

Kokichi giggles at Shuichi’s affection, “I may hate that idiot! But, I know how close you two are! Hopefully, not cheating on me~” Kokichi wiggles his eyebrows, suggestively. 

Shuichi lets out a loud ‘ahem’ to cover his blushing face, “never would.”

Kokichi feels butterflies in his stomach from the taste of trust, “a-anyways, don’t worry, DICE will be able to recover from this! It’s going to take more than an idiot, an assassin, and a wack mage to defeat us! You and dumbass Kaito just need to step back and see from their point of view!” 

“Kokichi, that was really good advice coming from you!” Shuichi praises his boyfriend. “I’ll give Kaito a chance to calm himself down and we’ll discuss it! Thank you, Kokichi!” 

“P-please, it was nothing!” Kokichi crosses his arms while smirking. “As much as I’ll love to stay...I have to help DICE out as its evil leader! We have to get back to mischief or they’ll get restless and you know how they get!” 

“I’ll try to visit as soon as possible...and help out…” 

“I’d appreciate that! Or will I?” Kokichi stands up, his back facing Shuichi, “now I have to get back to doing evil stuff! Bye-bye, Beloved!”  

“Goodbye, Kokichi,” Shuichi watches him climb the willow tree before jumping on top of the hedges and out of the garden.

“He really knows what to say at the perfect moments...” Shuichi mutters. 

The wind starts to blow, sending off petals into the night sky. He rubs his hands together, hoping to bring warmth to them. “I guess I’ll have to pay him back…” Shuichi walks out of the garden, towards the castle, ready to apologize to Kaito.

This doesn’t have as much romance between the two of them, but I hope it will satisfied your saiouma/oumasai needs. I’m almost done with the next prompt so it’ll be releasing tomorrow! Based off Prompt #5 - Flowers by @saiouma-events (even though I drifted off a bit too much lol). Sending a virtual hug! - December

If Only You Knew (Oumasai)

A/N: I felt like writing something kinda angst-y and this was the result lmao

Pairing: Kokichi Ouma x Shuichi Saihara - DRV3

Warnings: angst, mentions of alcohol, mention of sex, emotional, probably bad lol

“Thanks for bringing him home, Amami.” Shuichi smiled softly up at the taller boy, trying to hide the fact that he was struggling to uphold Kokichi’s smaller body. Despite the purple-haired boy being much smaller than him, it didn’t make it any easier to hold him up when he was completely and utterly wasted. “Well, I say home, but this isn’t actually his house.”

“I’m surprised you let him stay over so often. This is your house, you know? You decide who comes and goes.” Amami reminded the detective, raising his shoulders in a brief shrug.

“He’s my best friend; I can’t just turn him away.”

Shuichi’s eyes turned down to the rebellious boy, who was dangerously close to falling out of his arms. Kokichi released a small sound of disapproval, before raising one arm. It fell back to his side as quickly as it had appeared. It wasn’t as if Shuichi wasn’t used to seeing his best friend drunk; it felt like he was having to take care of him every weekend.

While Kokichi was out seducing every human being he laid eyes on, Shuichi would be sat at home, trying to get on with work, but failing when he realised that his mind was more preoccupied with worrying about the other boy. It was a little frustrating for Shuichi; a lot of his paperwork was handed in late because he couldn’t convince his mind to stop fretting about where Kokichi was or what he was doing.

Amami’s voice snapped him out of his daze, “Are you ever going to tell him?”

“He doesn’t need to know.” Shuichi smiled sadly, his eyes finally moving away from Kokichi as he finally acknowledged the pounding of his heart. For the most part, Shuichi had learned to suppress the pain he felt day in and day out, knowing that his best friend would never feel the same way. “And you can stop looking at me like that!”

“I just think you should tell him. It’s not fair on you; I know how much it hurts you, Shuichi, even if you try to hide it from me.” Amami’s eyes clouded with sympathy, but he released a resigned sigh, which let Shuichi know that Amami was going to respect his idiotic decision – as always. “If he gets too much to handle at any point, give me a call. I’ll come and pick him up.”

“Will do.” With that, Shuichi waved at Amami as the green-haired boy walked away. When his other friend had disappeared around the corner at the end of the street, his car lights fading in the distance, Shuichi began lifting Kokichi inside.

As per usual, Shuichi would take Kokichi to his room. As per usual, he would give up his bed to the shorter boy. A few times, he would try to wake the other boy, giving his plump cheeks a soft poke here and there to see if he wished to eat. When the drunk male didn’t respond, Shuichi released a low chuckle and left him to sleep.

With that, Shuichi pulled the duvet up to Kokichi’s chin. He smiled down at the boy, his breath caught in his throat as the moonlight from outside illuminated Kokichi’s pale skin. Shuichi was glad that he hadn’t yet pulled his curtains, as the soft glow of the streetlights and the eerie glow of the moon was enough to make Kokichi look even more stunning than usual.

Shuichi reached out, tentatively pushing some of the purple hair from in front of the boy’s face. He watched in silence as Kokichi stirred in his sleep, murmuring another incoherent sound. Again, his arm suddenly raised into the air, his hand clenched into a tight fist, before falling limply against the duvet.

“If only you knew.” Shuichi muttered to himself, internally scolding himself for getting caught up in the moment. He furrowed his brows, clenching his hands into fists as he resolved to leave his friend to sleep off his drunken state. But when he turned to leave, Shuichi was overcome by his instincts, completely throwing aside his better judgement.

Without allowing himself to overthink, he spun back around. He leaned down, brushing a chaste kiss across Kokichi’s forehead. Then he quickly ran out of the room, trying to suppress the pounding of his heart. The detective pressed a hand to his forehead, in awe at what he had just done.

And then he began to smile – a goofy smile that spread across his entire face. He knew that it wasn’t much, but it was the small moments he shared with Kokichi that he had learned to cherish the most, despite the pain it also brought him.

His thoughts were interrupted by a harsh buzzing sound. Shuichi’s head snapped up, trying to locate the source of the sound. As he walked confusedly through his apartment, he found some of Kokichi’s belongings, which had been abandoned upon his dining table during his efforts to drag him to bed. Upon the wooden surface, Shuichi could see a phone screen glaring up at him.

Though Shuichi was never one to snoop through Kokichi’s phone, his eyes couldn’t help but fall upon the text message that had just appeared on the screen. Shuichi didn’t even bother to look at the contact, but instead stared at the message.

Baby, where are yooooouuuuuuu?

Tonight was really good. ;* Hope we can meet up again.

Shuichi felt that same pang. He winced, turning away from the small device. While he was getting better at suppressing the dull ache that he felt every day, he hadn’t yet learned to ignore the sharp stings of pain that he received every now and then. Each one felt as if it hurt more than the last.

Exhaling deeply, he told himself the same thing he always told himself. That it was his own fault. That he should learn not to love his best friend. That if he could learn to control his own feelings, then he wouldn’t be experiencing such pain.

“Did Amami bring me here?” A groggy sounding voice came from behind the detective. He span around, eyes wide, to find Kokichi rubbing his head tentatively as he stood in the doorway of Shuichi’s bedroom.

“Yeah.”

“Can I take some painkillers? I drank way too much.” Kokichi stepped out of the bedroom hesitantly, eyes squinting as he glanced over at Shuichi. The blue-haired male felt his heart skip a beat again, admiring the way his friend looked, even after he had been drinking all night long. He then snapped back to reality, quickly nodding.

“I’ll get it for you. You should go and rest.” With that, Shuichi turned away, hanging his head in shame. He knew that it was wrong for him to be feeling that way about someone that only saw him as a friend, but he couldn’t help it.

“Thanks, man. You’re the best!” Kokichi’s footsteps headed back towards Shuichi’s room, before stopping. “Is that my phone over there? Did anyone message me?”

“The person you hooked up with earlier.” As Shuichi filled a glass with water, he realised that his voice had come out much harsher than he’d intended. He heard Kokichi laugh nonchalantly from his left, making Shuichi feel even more frustrated at himself. He mumbled quietly, “Someone more important than me, probably.”

“Did you say something?”

“No.” Shuichi grasped a painkiller from their place in one of his overhead cupboards. Holding it in one hand, he approached Kokichi, passing the cold glass over to him. Kokichi accepted the painkiller, immediately throwing it into his mouth. “You should rest now.”

Kokichi gulped down the water, before handing the glass back over to Shuichi. “You worry too much. I know what I’m doing!” With that, the shorter boy disappeared into the bedroom, closing the door gently behind himself.

Shuichi released a sigh, wanting to laugh ironically. “It’s just a shame I don’t know what I’m doing.”

[fleshkiss]

hi anon!! i’m so sorry for getting back to you so late! idk why but i get so embarrassed replying to asks when i don’t have any new art to share and then a lot of time passes and then i feel guilty that i’ve taken too long to reply so theN it takes me even longer to actually respond?!! it’s a weird cycle and mess on my end jsd;jas;dj but i’m going to try not to overthink it and reply to messages as they come in this year! ٩(｡•ω•｡)و (sorry i wrote quite a bit so imma leave the rest of my reply under the cut just in case)

but aaaA THANK YOU SO MUCH HAPPY NEW YEAR TO YOU TOO!! i hope 2020 brings lots of joy your way and treats you kindly! and omg thank you so much for enjoying my oumasai content, it truly makes me so happy hearing that and also how you enjoy my art and like the way i color too?! hhhh that’s so sweet of you to say and srsly means a lot thank you for taking the time to send such a kind message my way! ;v;

it also means a lot that you would possibly be interested in commissioning me in the future and if it doesn’t end up happening for some reason, just the thought alone already means the world to me so thank you for your interest either way!<3 i actually would love to take commissions some time soon if possible and am aiming to do so this year if all goes well, i just need to figure a few things out on my end but once i do i think i’ll be good to go! i recently had a kind opportunity to take an informal commission and it’s been a really good learning experience so when i do open them officially, i hope to be better prepared when the time finally arrives!

and ohh i think i understand what you mean about being hesitant to commission certain artists bc of who they might be! i know there was a time i got nervous inquiring about commissions from an artist and it ended up being a good exchange but i admit there was that initial hesitance about doing so bc i didn’t know how they might react to me sending a message lol i’m so glad i come off to you as nice tho esp online where it can be difficult to tell the tone of a message w just words! i feel like i can do more to be better but i just try to keep in mind that sometimes a little bit of kindness can go a long way TvT thank you so much for your kind words and encouragement and again for taking the time to write such a thoughtful message, it made me really happy to read it! i hope you have a wonderful day/night where you are!💜💙💜💙💜💙

What are your thoughts on oumasai?? And what are your favorite ships in ndrv3?? I love your art so much and i hope this new year will be kind to you❤

Thank you anon!!!!!! Oumasai is pretty cool! i didnt really get it but after reading a good chunk of oumakokichis meta i warmed up to it. still honestly pretty neutral on it but the masses of fan content dont bother me.my favorite ships rn are Tenhimi (which i also warmed up to cause of their meta lol) Tenhimi makes me cry a lot. Im also really into Kaemaki Saimota double date pair ship right now!  My V3 ships have been pretty fluid and tend to change a lot

[ladykailolu]

hmm... either saihara or maki for the character ask meme?

I’ll do both! Thanks for the ask!

Shuichi Saihara

SexualityHeadcanon: Biromantic demisexual!Gender Headcanon: Cis maleA ship I have with said character: Oh boy. Oh god. Are you ready for this???HERE WE GO! In no particular order of preferences: Amasai, Oumasai, Saimota,Saimatsu, Saiibo (also the OT6 of Kaede, Shuichi, Rantaro, Kaito, K1-B0, andKokichi). I seriously CANNOT get enough of these six characters living togetherand loving each other in a consensual, happy, respecting polyamorousrelationship. Sure, they are all so very different from each other and they dohave their arguments and disagreements, but they come back together in the endbecause deep down they really love each other. Yes, they even love Kokichi verymuch despite all his antics. Oh, and Saiiruma mostly for the kinky shit.A BROTP I have with said character: Saigiri! And GontaxShuichi. But lemme talkabout Saigiri for a bit: Kyoko is Shuichi’s boss and partner as a detective andas a mentor. She sees great potential in Shuichi to be a fantastic detective,so she pushes him hard and challenges him to realize that potential. She givesonly a limited amount of praise and is mostly silent when he does good work, buthe quickly picks up on her aloof responses. He knows that he’s doing well even withouther saying that directly to him since he knows she’s not one to lavish anyonewith a lot of praise. Instead, she’ll go behind his back to the other coworkersat the local bar after the workday and gush about his performance in typicalKyoko fashion.A NOTP I have with said character: Hmmm, not really. Except with maybe Tsumugi.He really hates it when she calls him “Sweetchi” or even worse—“Sweet Cheeks.”A random headcanon: He has a social anxiety disorder and an avoidantpersonality. He’s aware of this and absolutely hates it since it diminishes hisquality of life, but if he travels somewhere with someone he knows and trust(see the OT6), then he feels immensely better. Despite having these disorders,he still tries his best in his detective work, often feeling courageous enoughto talk to people directly and ask them questions. Of course, Kyoko is one fabulouscoach! She’s a mentor to him and tough to be sure, but he feels like he canapproach her with a few things and ask for her advice. She puts a lot ofemphasis on Shuichi figuring things out for himself, but she makes sure to givehim enough insight and clues to guide him in the right direction. Oh, andShuichi loooooooooooves to watch Law and Order, especially the Special VictimsUnit series. He usually solves the crimes before the show’s detectives lol, buthe still enjoys it and runs a blog that analyzes and gushes about the variouscharacters through memes. He watches other detective shows but SVU seems to behis favorite. His lovers of the OT6 joke that he’s like an old man sitting on arocking chair smoking a pipe for watching so many crime dramas, but he doesn’tmind this.General Opinion over said character: I love him to death. I see so much ofmyself within him that I just find comfort whenever I think about him or seehim grow from a shy, evading boy to a competent detective who’s not gonna takeMonokuma’s bullshit anymore. It was quite the transformation! And I thought tomyself, wow, here’s this shy kid who lacks confidence in himself in taking thelead during times of uncertainty, and he grows throughout the game enough tohave the backbone to stand up for himself and break free of the game entirely.Of course, he had a lot of help throughout the game, but I feel like hispersonality, mannerisms, and transformation are all extremely relatable. Atleast for me, haha. Looking at him go through all of that and come out evenbetter gives me a small bit of hope for myself.

Maki Harukawa

SexualityHeadcanon: Demiromantic bisexualGender Headcanon: Cis femaleA ship I have with said character: Lemme have dat goooood Kaimaki! I love thisship to pieces. It’s not one of my OTPs per say, but oooooooohhhh it grabbed meby the heart and refused to let go. I feel like some in the fandom say that it’sforced or it only really happens in chapter 5, but I’ve been noticing somechanges in Maki’s character over Kaito throughout the game before chapter 5. Itseems like chapter 5 is just the climax or culmination of Maki’s feelings forKaito that were developing slowly throughout the rest of the game. It wasn’tuntil Kaito’s life was directly in danger because of Kokichi’s plan did theemotions burst from Maki. Whoooooooops! I didn’t expect to talk this much aboutthis ship, so let’s talk about something else! Also, I ship Harumatsu to someextent.A BROTP I have with said character: Harumatsu—I really thought that I was gonnaship Kaede and Maki together pretty hard after looking at the promo art of them…butthis is not the case. Their interactions in canon were pretty lack-luster, andthere’s no love hotel scene between the two of them so it’s hard to getsomething going. Despite this, I can still ship them as a prep gf and a goth gfbecause why not but also as two girls who have each other’s back! I also shipRantaroxMaki as a BrOTP and MakixKirumi, hell even, RantaroxMakixKirumi as aBrOTP because I believe that they’d make the best babysitting team and wouldrisk their lives for the protection of the children. Just…don’t let themanywhere near Towa City.A NOTP I have with said character: Uuuhh, nope. Not a one, I think. Except withTsumugi.A random headcanon: She never uses her stone-cold stare around the very smallkiddies. They don’t need that kind of drama. And although she says that shehates kids, there’s some part in her heart that really warms up around them,you know? Whenever a small kiddie approaches her, she never baby-talks them.She always talks to them like an adult, but she engages in various forms ofplay with them from coloring books, talking through stuffed animals, buildingblocks and legos, and reading to them. She secretly doesn’t mind taking care ofthem…but if anyone—even Kaito—walks in on her being soft around the kiddos, she’llshoot them her trademark death glare until they run out of the room, slammingthe door behind them lol.General Opinion over said character: I like her. I didn’t really like her coldexterior in the beginning, but she warmed up on me. I especially grew fonder ofher when I saw her emotional outburst to protect her friends in chapter 5.Hell, even before that, I started liking her when she was gradually warming upto Shuichi and Kaito and absolutely blowing them out of the water duringtraining lol. And she didn’t give in to Kaito’s archaic bullshit of how women shouldn’t fight and should stay home andtake care of kids. Maki was just like ‘fuck that’ and proceeded doing 100pushups in like 10 minutes or so, haha. I feel like she, Rantaro, and Kirumiwould be excellent tag-team babysitters as they look after a bunch of kids (andget paid in the process).

Omg, thank you!  I actually came to ship oumasai for a very weird reason. I first shipped akamatsu and saihara, then my friend introduced me saiouma and I got into it, then somehow I changed my mind and started to ship oumasai lol I see ouma as top because I find saihara to be a definite bottom based on three things first off saihara has neither strength (he has 1) nor stamina, he can even pass out from doing physical exercise (which was funny), while toujou had to chase ouma for 30 minutes to catch him and he has a strength of 3 at the beginning second, ouma can lie easily without being discovered and can also automatically detect when saihara's lying. he's like a human lie detector, saihara just can't trick ouma finally, just look at ouma's love hotel event - god he's so good at teasing saihara, also in the last ouma's relationship event, he says he won't kill saihara anymore because saihara's mind's so filled with thoughts of him…… like what a smooth little fucker I know kokichi is only 156 cm and saihara is 171 cm so they have a height difference of 15cm but you know what, seme shota is good shit, reeeally good shit  

(thank syder for correcting all my grammar errors )

I've been meaning to ask for some time (this is not meta or anything I just wanna know your preferences lol) but do you ship other things other than oumasai?

I feel like this is a perfect question to answer in honor ofValentine’s Day, actually! When it comes to shipping, I ship quite a lot! Iwent into ndrv3 not really expecting to get attached to many ships but now I feellike I came out of it with more ships than I can manage.

In addition to saiouma, there’s also the other prettyobvious ships—I’m a big fan of himitenko and I loved the development that wasthere, and the fact that Tenko was such an important person to Himiko evenafter dying. Momoharu and saimatsu are also very cute, and I love seeing art ofthem!

I also came out with quite a few rarer ships, too.Gonta/Momota (would momogonta be a good ship name? I don’t even know) isexcellent. Like really, really excellent. Momota was so emphatic about wantingto stay by Gonta’s side and stick up for him all through the Chapter 4 trial,and Gonta was so relieved to have one person who truly was willing to go thatfar for him, even if he didn’t understand what was going on. Momota and Gontais a good and pure ship and I’m sad there isn’t more content for it, because tobe honest, they would have been the cutest.

Believe it or not…Chapter 5 actually got me kind of hookedon the idea of Ouma and Momota as a ship as well. It’s not something that Iwould have thought feasible from the first few chapters, but it’s undeniablethat even if Momota didn’t entirely understand Ouma by the end, he was clearlyblown away by how incredibly smart Ouma was, and the fact that Ouma was willingto throw away his own life to stop the mastermind was something that resonatedwith him and he couldn’t help but admire him for that. And seeing Momota throwhimself in front of him, even if it was only to protect Maki really, left animpression on Ouma, too. When he told Momota, “You’re not boring after all,Momota-chan,” I actually snorted out loud, because saying “You’re not boring”is practically Ouma-speak for saying “I have a new crush forming.”

Actually, momosaiouma would be a great ot3, because saimotais also a very, very good ship, and there’s no denying that Momota and Saiharacared about each other so much. Momota left Saihara his “will” in Chapter 5 theexact same way that Kaede had left him hers in Chapter 1. And now I just wantto see stupid ot3 antics where Momota and Ouma basically agree to stop tryingto pull Saihara in half for two minutes only to realize they kind of have athing for each other as well, and then it’s just Saihara rubbing his templesconstantly because Momota and Ouma have noimpulse control without him around and are still always bickering and gettinginto stupid fights about things.

Please consider momosaiouma. I’m kind of desperate forcontent.

As for other ships…Miu and Kiibo really grew on me,surprisingly enough. I’m still uncomfortable with That One CG, but I did likethe fact that Kiibo was clearly one of the only members of the group whoremembered Miu pretty fondly after Chapter 4. For all that she was a little tooaggressively forward for his taste, he clearly thought of her as being a goodperson in horrible circumstances. Also Kiibo is so undeniably clueless aboutcertain social cues and innuendos that thinking in terms of Miu saying theweirdest most outlandish stuff and Kiibo justnot getting it is absolutely hilarious.

Kaede and Miu is also admittedly growing on me. Miu tries sohard to talk down to her at first, but I love the fact that Kaede was willingto put her foot down, hard, and there’s no denying that Miu definitely wantssomeone to, uh, “take charge,” as it were.

Also…it’s a crossover ship rather than specificallyndrv3-related, but I haven’t seen literally anyone shipping it so far, butplease also consider Kaede/Maizono. Both of them are heavily similar, both ofthem are musically inclined, and both of them deserved not to be fridged offsuper early into their respective games. I would love to see both of them assuper go-getting, take charge musically talented girlfriends who are slightlysalty still about getting axed so early into Chapter 1.

Anyway, this was very fun, and I hope people enjoy my takeon things and headcanons! I’m very much a multishipper at heart; as long as it’snot unhealthy in some way I’m usually pretty comfortable with quite a lot ofships! Thank you for asking, anon!
