Ranking DDLC ships day 1 Sayori ships (contains DDLC spoilers)

(These are all my opinions, if you disagree don't be mean about it, anyways, feel free to post your Sayori ship rankings!)

act 1: 1. Sayosuki: It's rather cute!

2. Sayuri: Deredere x Dandere? How cute!

3. SayoMC: Cut, kinda neutral on MC as a character though. Even then, this one is my #1 BROTP.

4. Sayonika: I prefer wholesome ships over toxic ships, and not much potential since Monika likes the player not Sayori (in a romantic context, Monika does like all the dokis as friends even when she is self-aware :D.)

5. Sayori x Player (can't find a ship name for this one): She doesn't even know who the player is in act 1, LMAO.

act 2:

Sayori's deleted.

act 3:

Sayori's deleted.

Act 4:

Sayori x player: By this point she only likes the player ._.

2. Sayosuki: Same issues with act 1 Sayonika.

3. Sayuri: Same issues with act 1 Sayonika.

4. SayoMC: By this point Sayori is into the player, not MC.

AU where nothing bad happens and Monika isn't self aware (basically like in DDLC+)

Sayonika: They balance each other out quite well, romantically the ship is good, platonically the ship is good, the ship is both OTP and BROTP.

2. Sayosuki: Once again cute!

3. Sayuri: Once again, deredere x dandere is cute.

4. SayoMC: Once again, cute, def #1 BROTP.

ddlc au where everything is the same but gravity pulls monika parallel to the ground instead of straight down

on the first day when sayori first brings mc to the club, the moment she opens the door monika plunges straight to the front of the class, landing on the chalkboard on the wall

as everyone else looks in disbelief, monika just looks straight at the fourth wall and says outright, "this world is a joke of a video game and it's personally fucking with me; please please help."

cue existential dread, continue from there.

new headcanon acquired:

monika got her lean from sayori. her little lean thing?

this? it started as her copying sayori.

monika just gradually put her own spin on it.

why? well there’s

the sweet explanation and the epiphany explanation

the epiphany explanation is that she was actively trying to copy sayori to try and get on mc’s good side so he’d be more likely to have the option to spend time with her, for the player to pick.

the sweet explanation is that she saw sayori as a beacon of all things nice and approachable, and did it herself to try and be the same way.

i think you know which one i prefer

[sockatoothewafflebird]

BASS PLAYERS ARE UNDERRATED SAY IT WITH ME BOYS (gender neutral) !!!!! i will draw her playing bass. i do not care if i'm bad at it. it will happen. what song should she play though

My own Headcanon/info page about my own DDLC+ AU

Not as detailed as my older ones but I wanted to simplify these down to just key details and character designs and then I can make additional posts for extra stuff

At least most of the time, some posts might include more details if my brain is being creative

Some older ddlc art under the see more (also some Natsuki since I didn’t manage to fit her into the main page)

Man I love act 2 Natsuki so so much we gotta talk about her more aaugghhhh

I swear it was said somewhere that Natsuki was changed the least because out of all the club members Monika could make her unlikeable simply by proxy of Yuri being messed up too, someone who Monika saw as more competition compared to her. Similar to act 2 Yuri being a slap in the face to her self doubt about secretly being an overly pushy creep, changing Natsuki the least feels like a slap in the face to her whole side stories arc about feeling like an awful person nobody likes. Monika probably knows about all her self doubts too and is still basically like “you’re right :) you are so unlikable that I don’t even have to change you that much to make someone think you’re just as repulsive as a freaky yandere”

Because of this Monika was mostly focused on Yuri this whole time, slowly neglecting Natsuki until the narrative started doing it too. Between Yuri and Monika forcing themselves on the player, Natsuki who is notably less pushy gets instead pushed away and sidelined by them. Considering her whole backstory and arc in the side stories, it’s kinda ironic that the one safe space she has ended up neglecting her needs too.

It’s kinda depressing though man her old friends make her ignore her feelings and put up with their abuse. Her home life is ambiguous most of the time but at best her dad neglects her feelings and needs and by act 2 he’s abusive to the point of life threatening child abuse. And then her last and only safe space changes to become distant and rude, where they dismiss all her wants and concerns while putting down her interests and very existence in the club, all for a boy who just got here. This club was supposed to be a safe space full of welcoming people who would let her be who she is. It was supposed to be the one place she wouldn’t get yelled or sneered at for voicing her opinion. It was supposed to be the place where she could ~write the way into her heart~ or whatever. But now it’s just become another source of abuse in her life

She has to conform to everyone else’s needs instead, and no matter how much she may want to she has no power in her life. She has to watch as every person in her life abuses and neglects her. She never gets to be vice president. She never gets to be in the loop and find out why everyone is acting strange. She never gets to know why the club is tearing itself apart. The world is breaking and she can never learn why, she can only sit by in silence and suffer in the background as everyone else takes hold in the narrative. She tries reaching out but nobody actually respects her enough to let her do anything, and the only thing keeping her from giving up and leaving is the fact that she has nothing else, and maybe this time things will get better. But they don’t. She doesn’t belong anywhere. She has no power here. She can’t change things no matter what she does

Yet despite this she ironically ends up becoming the most normal person ever in the club. The girl with literally zero healthy relationships in her life. The tsundere. Is the voice of reason.

Monika you suck at your job

Everyone around her is going insane. Yuri is becoming obsessive to the point of uncharacteristic aggression, Sayori just doesn’t exist, Monika is ignoring it all and acting like everything’s normal, and mc as the closest thing to normal this club is gonna get is also becoming more and more of a blank slate. She’s alone in this.

And yet despite all of that she still cares about her friends. Even if Monika tries to get her to ignore it, she still cares about Yuri and is worried about her more than anything. Despite Monika’s attempts to dehumanized the club, Natsuki never yields to her control. She’s the one to call everyone out on how weird everything is, cutting through Monika’s facade and realizing that something is wrong. She desperately wants things to be okay again, for Yuri to be okay even after seeing the way she acts, for you to listen to her since you’re the only other person who could do something.

She tries reaching out with her last note, pleading for you to do something. Even if Monika takes that moment away because she still wants to act like nothing is wrong, the player remembers. You remember that Monika tried to get you to leave you club members to suffer, and you remember that Natsuki is still a real human being reacting to these things, not just a set of scripts. And the player recognizes that Natsuki cares, even if they can’t do anything about it.

Despite Monika trying to reinforce her being a bad person, Natsuki’s character ended up shining way more than it would have had it just been act 1. Even through all of Monika’s attempts, Natsuki still makes it apparent that she can be a good person and that she really deeply cares about the people around her, even if it takes a lot to show it. While a stubborn tsundere is hatable, her stubbornness here to just be herself ironically ended up as a strength. The anime trope ended up as a boon. Suck it Monika 😎

Throughout the constant dehumanizations as cliche lines of code, Natsuki retains her humanity until the very end. While Sayori and Yuri’s last moments are them succumbing to Monika’s control, her final moments let her retain her humanity.

By puking in the floor yeah. But with all of Monika’s efforts to get her to act like nothing’s wrong, her having a normal human reaction to a three day old corpse compared to complete nonchalance makes her seem more human than Monika ironically enough. She probably would have wanted Natsuki to ignore it too, but no matter what she did she couldn’t stop her from being herself. Her desire for perfection compared to Natsuki seeing the world how it is a bit of a rebellion to everything Monika stands for, and in the end, Natsuki gets to have the win in some little way.

Natsuki being the least altered is interesting cause on one hand it says some about a person when Ms. Access doesn’t bother hitting you with the asshole beam to make you look like an asshole, but on the other hand she does still try to make Natsuki look bad, and its interesting to think about how that ended up failing. She’s still whole compared to the others who are altered beyond belief, and who she is isn’t all that hatable compared to what Monika wants you to think. Her best qualities still shine through, and despite all she perseveres until the end where Monika can only delete her to get rid of her.

Despite all of Monika’s attempts to twist the club apart, despite everyone else in the club becoming hostile and unfamiliar, despite everyone in her life treating her like she’s worthless, Natsuki is still herself. She’s stubbornly herself until the bitter end. And honestly who she is is pretty great. That’s all. Natsuki cool

OKAY THIS ISN'T A QUESTION BUT I NEED TO SAY THIS BC IM TOO NEURODIVERSE NOT TO RANT ABOUT IT

I actually hate the fact that everyone interprets Sayori's character as hiding her feelings from EVERYONE, because in my eyes that misses the point completely. Sayori didn't feel guilty enough to hide her depression from everyone.

The only person she couldn't bear hurting by telling them her struggles... was you, the player.

Monika literally TELLS us that Sayori's only all bubbly and stuff around us. The player character is the only person Sayori loves so deeply that she hid her depression from them for years. And that, I think, is even more tragic, because as someone with crippling mental illness who yaps about it to literally everyone, I still have those few people who I cannot bear to tell about what I'm going through, because I want to protect them so badly. Sayori isn't some fucking martyr saint who managed to avoid telling anyone about her actual debilitating clinical depression for her entire life- she's just like anyone else with a mental illness.

Which makes it all more realistic, and all the more upsetting, that the one person who could help her was the one person she refused to tell.

YOU.

i do think she has a hard time talking about her feelings in general, but considering she does tell monika about it after knowing her for what we can assume is about a week at most (though to be fair, it was only bc monika found her poem but still), plus natsuki after a while, sayori isn’t as closed off about it as the fandom thinks. yes, she would prefer it if she didn’t have to talk about it, but if the situation asks for it and she feels comfortable, she will

except if the person she’s talking to is mc
