#sakuraoi + irumatsu + fuyupeko are like this for me

[funishment-time]

i have my Main Ships that i'm ride or die on but like, i also just want the two characters involved to be happy you feel me. like i love them so much individually that seeing them happy (but in-character) in any other content/ship is also Extremely Good and Rebloggable even though i may not necessarily seek it out

Favourite Danganronpa ships? And/or least favourite ones...?👀

Favorite of all time is Ishimondo, which I think is the favorite of a good third of the fandom.

Some of my other A tier ships are:

Sonia x Gundam x Chiaki

Fuyupeko

Komahina/Kamukoma

Sakuraoi (but I don't like how wholesome the fandom makes it out to be)

Tenmiko (See above. This is a tragic toxic romance and I love it!!!)

Ougoku (I am a simple bastard. I find one of the most toxic ships a fandom has, and I ship the hell out of it.)

Junkan

Kaimaki

Kiiouma

Kiiruma

I've been getting really into Irumatsu lately! Not sure why.

As for my least favorite ship, I think it is Naegami. Not due to any perceived flaw with the ship, I just hc them both as aroace. That being said, I've read a few ship fics that really match my queerplatonic dynamic for them, if that makes sense?? So its more like I'm incredibly picky about what content I consume for them.

Its important for me to tell you that Makoto has a million QPPs, and Byakuya only has Makoto.

As for some other ships I'm really not into, I don't ship any combination of Shuichi/Kokichi/Kaito. I'm not sure why, they just don't really do it for me. Which is sad since they are some of the most popular ships.

I'm also a bit uncomfortable with shipping Hiro with the other kids during canon due to the age gap. I totally could see some ships post-canon though!

just finished v3 chapter 1

randumb thoughts:

overall, liking it so far! (though there's very little that could make me Flat-out Dislike this game)

was spoiled early on The Twist of this one and i'm glad i was, because i know i would have missed it all and thought it was Bullshit and gotten mad at Kodaka even though it's pretty clearly broadcast (the way Kayayday keeps talking about the Mastermind and not the culprit, etc)

LOVED the POV baton pass. the aesthetic of it and the glitching. very clever and poignant

also: so like Kaede and Shuichi were definitely kind of in love right

(i say this as an Irumatsu shipper primarily. the Saimatsu split has the same Emotional Weight as other borderline-romantic splits in the franchise e.g. Sakuraoi, Fuyupeko)

Angie continues to be cute

Himiko continues to be cute

Miu is my favorite character but i admit she's not painted Particularly Sympathetic, ever. at least so far. the shit is the point i know, but i do wish we'd have gotten like a single tear from her over Kayayday. (that may be my Irumatsu heart talking tho)

really do think i'm onto something with Monokuma sounding Different

in fact, while i still think Junko is in the game somehow, i don't think she's in control of This Monokuma. this is not the Monokuma in other words. he clearly has...different motives. a different worldview. nice detail if i'm right

have had it confirmed for me there is a Mastermind, though that would be an interesting Twist if there wasn't, huh? (fangans take note! i'd love to see that)

i would want remakes of DR1 and 2 only to add as many CGs as this game has and Armament Argument minigame/sprites. want see Hina in armor defending Sakura's honor pls

this may be answered later or i may have missed it in a Kaede Free Time, but...Keebo is a robot. can he really capital-D Die? what does a Killing Game mean to him. would it just be an annoyance? etc

Kokichi fans, i'm sorry, but i don't Get It. that plus the symbolism surrounding his character just makes me eugh. no judgement, just, yeah. i admit it's early on and something in the Narrative could absolutely change this opinion, though

i still think there's More to Rantaro. his death means like, nothing emotionally, unless you do the Free Times apparently...but that doesn't feel like Danganronpa. if you don't do his FTs, he's just weird then goes to heaven. strange. but that's why i feel we learn more about him post-mortem. i'll wait and see!

this is def the worst dub and localization of the franchise. coming off of UDG, god, what happened. also a lot of the Voices just...don't match. ex: Kaito sounds too old (but he was a great Kazuichi!) and Kokichi's VA did such a great job as Fuyuhiko but sounds borderline offensive as Kokichi IMO

i do like Himiko's voice though, as well as Tenko's and a few others

i want to like Tsumugi as a character because she's very relatable but 1) i still Don't Trust Her and 2) her constant anime/manga references don't work for me where Hifumi's did. unsure why

thazzit for now. more this week
