I envy people that have good relationships with family and friends. Always a constant reminder of what I don’t have.

Take the fandom would not like:

(CW: incest, age gaps, non-consensual relationships.)

a lot of the problems with drv3 chapter 3 could be fixed by swapping around Tenko and Kiyo's roles.

If you're going to do a dark backstory this chapter, incest is not the way to go. Danganronpa has done it so many times before it loses some of its impact. Same with serial killers.

This could be solved by keeping the vibes of the trial intact by Tenko's master having a non-consensual relationship with her. (Keeping it PG-13, because got to keep that rating.)

Specifically, her master was abusing her, and another Akido student Tenko pitied because they got it worse. She kills them as a mercy (to foreshadow chapter 6) but her Master treated her even worse because of it.

Kiyo framing Himiko is boring, since the two have had little interaction before this. Tenko framing Himiko is heartbreaking, because of how much Tenko loved and admired Himiko.

Kiyo seems out-of-character for most of trial 3, since it didn't seem like the logical progression of his character. For him to be caught, he had to catch the idiot ball and kill Tenko.

Tenko's main target being Angie, and killing the medium because she was worried the ritual would actually work. (I imagine in this au that less people genuinely buy it.)

Tenko lobbies for Himiko, the most magical, to be the medium, but Kiyo volunteers instead because he'd be honored to take part in such a ritual. (to fit with the v3 lore, what if it was one he's never heard of?) (also no gender requirement since the trial no longer really needs it.)

Tenko's hatred for Angie is less of a love triangle, and more of a PTSD trigger.

Tenko's philosophy is at odds with her talent, and I think that could be an excellent metaphor for extreme trauma molding her into someone she would never become without it.

Himiko had to grapple with the fact that Tenko thought she was so weak, Tenko felt like she had to mercy kill her.

I miss being an equestrian so much, it’s genuinly one of the biggest sorrows of my life that I’m too sick for it

day 3, patching up

it's breaking my heart but i'm slowly starting to admit I might need to move to avoid being practically disabled

i just need a country that doesn't have weather

just like permanent 19 semi-cloudy weather. no hot days no freezing winters. i just can't afford getting a concussion every time the life-giving sun comes out

Bothered. Parched. Miserable. In the middle of the road. Unfocused. Decaying.

post event rumination. wanted to talk about it. social anxiety can make you regret a social interaction for a long time after. like a long long time. or it can be just for a few hours afterwards. sometimes, might be delayed; like you think the interaction went 'Well' (by social anxiety brain's definition), but then it twists it.

social interactions other people would walk away smiling from, have left me with no energy, terrified, and full of self-hatred.

personally, feels like brain just winces. like automatic negative thoughts (ANTs) hit suddenly; it's a sharp mental pain, triggered by events. one time, had this for about 4 months afterwards, just recurring cycle of rumination. could not get out of head. would be doing something else, and it would just come crashing back. the same thought. over and over again.

it does lessen with time. promise. don't have that thought any more. still sometimes will remember things, but it stings less.🌹🌹🌹

I’m so tempted to look at her profile and compare myself to her.

My whole family has no concept of this so why is it baked into my soul????

I think one of the most profound forms of love is "I'll try that, for you. I may not like it, but I'll try it."

It's a confused middle-aged man in a pottery class, whose daughter is helping him with his clay's plasticity. It's a kid scrunching up their brow while listening to their mom's favorite music, trying to figure out why she likes it. It's a girlfriend who says "Yes, I'll go with you" and her girlfriend cheering and buying a second ticket for a con. It's a friend half dragging another friend through an aquarium, the one being dragged laughing and calling out "Wait, wait, I know we're here for the exhibit, but I haven't been here! Slow down!"

It's being willing to spend some of your time trying something new because it makes someone you love happy.
