postgame saigoku thoughts.,,

gonta going through hellish phantom pains and shuichi sitting or laying with him and comforting him until they fade

shuichi going through a bout of horrid depression and gonta helping him anyway he can, getting him food and meds, helping him wash up and get clean, just. holding him as he cries.

wagh

HAPPY BIRTHDAY KAEDE AKAMATSU!!! she is one of my favorite characters ever of all time but yall already knew that. here she is having a nice birthday with all her friends 💖 because i have postgame v3 diseases

i thought it would be funny if everyone accidentally got her the exact same thing (a sweater vest) and they're all varying degrees of embarrassed/amused but kaede is just so happy and she's gonna wear all of them

Too bad Hajime isn't here, they really need the Ultimate Therapist...

Yeah - they didn't start off on the right foot even on their second life or death situation.

They need to start talking about what happened in the game though. Starting at knife point might be better than ending at knife point, ya know?

Gonta Gokuhara Week, Day 6 — Postgame

Gonta really wants to reconnect with all his friends, but many people are busy with their own problems, and with two specific people it's especially hard to do. One of them startles and shrinks away everytime she sees him, and the other pointedly ignores and avoids him as much as he can.

It makes Gonta feel very alone.

Don’t mind kaito’s lack of facial hair I forgor, also Kai is my saiou ship kid

[poison-scene]

Thinking about how the romance between Maki and Kaito was written by TDR and the possibility they implied Kokichi's interest in Shuichi during the FTEs + Love hotel.

Like, what if TDR intended for Kokichi to take Shuichi's hand by the end of his last FTE but Kokichi didn't bc of the circumstances™?

And just how much influence does the writing have on the character's feelings anyway? Do they just restrict that to romance or does that impact other dynamics? 🤔

day 3 - curiousity!

day 4 - misunderstandings!

day 5 - protective!

day 6 - sorrow!

and finally, day 7 - free day!

this year has definitely been my favorite so far, because of how purposefully vague I made the prompts, people went all over the place with interpretations and it was AWESOME!!!!!!! also got some of the first fic entries in my 3 years of hosting this as well!!!

because I started this before settling on tumblr I was not able to host it here this year sadly <\3 BUT!!! NO NEED TO FRET!!! THIS IS MOST CERTAINLY NOT MY FINAL YEAR HEHEHEH who knows… maybe I’ll just have to bring saiibo week to tumblr as well next year …… keep those eyes peeled heheehhe

[g0nta-g0kuhara]

honestly i've always gotten the vibe that shuuichi is just. SO offline. man whos only social media is a facebook he uses once a year to say hi to distant family energy. he WOULD like nerdy stuff but his friends have to show it to him first

You see this feels more right to me. I feel like Shuichi would like nerdy things but only goes by word of mouth recommendation. His ass is NOT on Twitter

Which also has hilarious implications if we’re considering pregame as canon. Because pregame shuichi was DEFINITELY chronically online and posting all kinds of danganronpa fan stuff. Imagine postgame shuichi gaining access to these accounts. What a nightmare

[j-jared]

hello!!! i just stumbled across your resurgence au (i think that's the name lol) and it looks super cool!!!! :OOO may i ask what is maki's whole deal,,,i love her a lot :3

It's Maki time!

So in Resurgence, like the rest of the V3 cast, Maki is saved from the simulation by Future Foundation. I've touched on this in a few older posts, but their recovery took place in a hastily thrown together field base/hospital in a city that's still pretty deep in despair. It was a matter of not being able to get transport in for everyone right away - they had a set date for the helicopters to come for them all.

By unfortunate coincidence (coincidence, huh) - the day the helicopters come, the hospital is bombed by a Despair mob. They weren't so happy with their show being cancelled by stupid teenagers (THH was streamed to the world, then despair audiences kinda gutted and reverse engineered the Neo World Program after the Remnants were restored to their og personalities, I'd say it's probably because of the brainwashed Future Foundation members that it got out to the world - so yeah "Danganronpa" is a "TV" show in that regard, but its not how the V3 ending explains it)

Maki was in a separate wing from most of the others when the bombs went off, and her escape route ended up on the side where the mob was gathered (a lot of the others got around the mob by going out other exits) - So Maki has to fight her way to safety, and unfortunately, she misses out on the helicopter evacuation.

Now, Maki can take care of herself. She might not be Ultimate Apocalypse Survivor, but she has the training to patch wounds, adapt to harsh conditions, and defend herself. So she's doing about as fine as one can in a city that's basically an active war zone.

Then Kaede shows up.

Honestly, I'm not sure why I chose Kaede, I really wanna explore that dynamic but haven't gotten around to it yet - I think their personalities would blend and butt against each other in a situation like this, it's like a hardcore setting for the killing game with no rules. Kaede was with Future Foundation as a field agent, but her squad got separated during an attack (they were probably looking for the missing V3 cast) - Funnily enough Kaito, Tenko, and Shuichi were on that squad so - yikes on missing them.

So now it's Maki and Kaede vs the world!

Until Kaede's radio starts unscrambling itself and picking up Future Foundation communications again - but they can't reply it seems. The signal seems to fade in and out each time they leave this district, maybe they should investigate, right?

... Oh hi Kokichi and Kiibo!

---

That's about as far as I've gotten in the general aspect of Maki's arc! I could go into detail about points up until now, but this post is already getting long on me. There will be bonding, there will be old scores to settle, there will be... forgiveness? Well, it's too early to say. I think the four of them are an interesting squad to shove into the apocalypse together, especially knowing the later game dynamics of Kokichi, Kiibo, and Maki, and me basically having to figure out Kaede and if the blank slate of her not being around for most of V3 is something that helps them all get along or complete ruins the dynamic at moments.
