#sorry kaito and maki fans

[foryoupeko]

Now that Kokichi and Miu part was accurate as hell lmao

Thank you!

I'm waiting for Game Grumps to play DRV3. I might just crumble and play it myself tho. But I like to play with the characters.

There's a lot of Kokichi and Miu stans tho so I learned enough about them via fandom osmosis.

This is how much I know the other characters BTW

[bamgamronpa]

OH RIGHT umm hi guys u made total drama kiibouma …. and just kinda td x dr in general. but mostly kiibouma

based on the average td challenge of “okay campers now eat the Slop”

based on diving challenges. they are absolutely about to throw kokichi off that cliff (and actively throwing kiibo)

bonuses :

didnt really like this one but its supposed to be like “oh wow hes sneaking out at night to be evil and plot hes such an antagonist”

yaoi

[nerd-cat-rambles]

Guys on my page smb made a rlly long fic about DRV3 CHP5 Ghost AU and how Maki could've been the killer or something like that, but I didn't take note to it because I was halfway through chapter 5 and didn't want spoilers. If anybody knows who they are please please please tag them/me on on of the posts because I really want to read their work.

--- THIS IS HOW THEY DESCRIBED IT, NOT MY ORIGINAL IDEA!!!

From what I remember they described it as:

Part of why Korekiyo went insane is because there were 2 ghosts (and his sister) like haunting/tormenting him during the trial, and Miu died in the VR world so a ghost probably wouldn't follow Gonta around in the actual world, and if it did he wouldn't remember. And for Maki nobody had seen Kokichi or Kaito since one of them died.

It wasn't until Kaito got out of the exisal that Maki saw Kokichi covered in blood, she ran to try and hit him before realising the others couldn't see him, and fell to her knees. Shuichi and Kaito helped her up from the floor. She couldn't tell people about it otherwise it would have meant that they voted the wrong person and they would all get executed.

Monokuma had no way of knowing if the poison affected Kokichi before the press fell down, or if the press crushing him was the cause of his death, so if Maki said anything the verdict could be changed drastically.

---

That's about all I remember from their writing, please lmk if you know because I really want to find it :,)

[sappy-detective]

i want a cute lil fic where shuichi have been dating for a while and kokichi sneaks into his house and wakes him up (it’s shuichis first birthday together)

“kokichi?.. what are you doing here- do you know what time it is?”

“do YOU know what time it is shumai !?”

it’s 12 on the dot and kokichi takes him downstairs and he set up a whole sup-rise lil part for him. with relighting candles and everything. and shuichi just starts balling. because…

1. he never really had birthday party’s and never liked having them becausehe didn’t really have people to invite and his parents where just jerks who either forgot his birthday or sent a note, not even a call and it would just bring up hard feelings.

2. and if he did have birthdays it would just be kinda gloomy for him. just having his aunt and sometimes his uncle. he just thought it was kinda a waste and he didn’t want to bother people with telling them his bday.

anyway kokichi invites shuichis friends that came later because obviously kokichi wanted to be the one to get him. (and also got his uncle a day off ??LOLZ)

“are these relighting candles, ouma? do you even know to actually get them off??”

“of course i do!!” (he doesn’t)

did somebody say pointy objects BEACH EPISODE?! (it's me) (i did) (plus.....surprises?)

13 for danganronpa ask game?

13.) Favorite Love Hotel Scene?

Hi!

That question really made me think a lot, because I'm not a big fan of love hotel scenes. But actually there are a few that I think are kinda fun. I reread some of them that I remember liking so here they are.

I really liked Kiibo's event, because it's both sweet and very funny. It's just:

Kiibo: *starts saying wedding vows*

Shuichi: I ENTERED THE ROOM TWO MINUTES AGO SLOW DOWN

Kiibo: I'm sorry for being so pushy. I'm not actually in love with you, I just didn't think I could ask someone else to help me experience love.

Shuichi: It's okay. And I think I want to help you.

Kiibo: I am in love with you now.

Shuichi: KIIBO-

And also

Kiibo: Can I hold your hand?

Shichi: Kiibo, that's a handshake.

Kiibo: Oh. Can we stay like this though?

Shuichi: Sure

It's just so funny ajstjathahtah

Also how Kiibo talks about wanting experience love, because he always hears people calling it "the most precious, wonderful feeling in the world". And immediately thinks he's in love when someone shows him basic kindness and it feels nice... He's so aro to me. And ace! He never even considered sex in his fantasy, so *points finger* ACE. Because I said so.

I also really like Maki's event. It's so fascinating how specific she was with what she said.

This could be interpreted two ways. One: she spent a lot of time creating some detailed scenario during her asassin training and work. Two: she's talking about some very specific person from her childhood. I personally like the second version more.

It would be so interesing to know more about the person memory of whom she carried through YEARS, thinking about what could've been. Are they alive? Are they still in an orphanage or are they somewhere else now? Do they remember Maki? Do they think about her? How would they react if they saw Maki now?

I think it's so interesing to wonder about all this. Also I really like the idea that Maki's ideal partner is her best friend (demiromantic Maki, let's goooooo)

And Ryoma's event is also really nice, but sad.

How he was trying to push Shuichi away, even though he actually didn't want him to leave. How he felt like it was pathetic that he wanted to feel loved and cared about. How he felt like he simply didn't deserve it, even though he wanted it more than anything. How he probably wanted his manager to reach out and offer his support to him. And how he probably didn't, or Ryoma pushed him away. And how lonely it makes Ryoma feel.

It's a shame that we only get to deduce all this from his love hotel event instead of getting to gradually see this in the main events of the game. But that's just how it is with Danganronpa. There are a lot of characters and it's unfortunately expected that some of them will die without having time to shine and get their character development. It's bound to happen with DR, but it's still sad.

Ryoma's event is bittersweet, but it's so so good.

So yeah. Those are Love Hotel scenes that liked. I didn't want to just pick one because all 3 of those are interesting on their own. And also those are the ones of the few that I actually liked. Other ones I'm either neutral about or just don't like them.

(But also honorable mention to Kaito's event that I liked for a very obvious reason).

Anyway, thank you for your question! Hope you don't mind kind of a long answer!

[mintmoth]

As someone who used to be heavily into danganronpa, it’s nice to see people take interest into it :]

Idk if you’ve already answered or only played the second game, but who’re your favorites from both THH, UDG and DRV3 (uh sorry if these acronyms get confusing if they do lmk T_T)

OH MAN okay so I'll go in order lmao

Danganronpa Trigger Happy Havoc

I played a fan translation of the first game back after everyone was reading it on the something awful forums lmao

I'd have to say my top faves are Asahina and Sakura, they're both just fun and sweet and have a great dynamic between them- which speaking of great dynamics Ishimaru, Mondo, and Chihiro are all fantastic as well, two rambunctious idiots and the most earnest sweetheart 😭😭

Also I like Fukawa and by extension Jack but I'm gonna wrap their head in duct tape if Byakuya gets near lmao

Double Also Celestia has excellent drip

Super Danganronpa: Goodbye Despair

I originally played this one back around like uhhh 2017?? Ish?? Idk I played it and had a blast and loved the cast, which is what made me want to replay it actually

I love them all they're all chefs kiss (except the chef Teruteru himself I'm also wrapping his head in duct tape when I need to)

I'd have to say my top faves would be Gundham, Kazuichi, Fuyuhiko, Ibuki, and Mikan, but really I do very much adore the entire cast and the way the game itself pans out and shows their relationships with one another, they feel like they could all be a really good friend group had things turned out better for them

Also Hajime is my favorite protagonist of the bunch lmao

Danganronpa Another Episode: Ultra Despair Girls

So fun fact about this one I've actually never played it oops

HOWEVER I did get ahold of the manga trilogy- of which they were all used copies so volume 1 has nearly every forward facing character having a little drawn on pencil moustache and volume 2 has an entire panel just cut out of it, honestly I'm surprised the third volume doesn't have anything wrong with it LMAO cursed books

As far as the characters that are specific to this game I did think Shirokuma was quite cute and Asahina's brother was fun while he was around

Danganronpa V3: Killing Harmony

Okay so this one- I started playing it a few months back because I had actually never gotten around to it back when I first got ahold of it, and it's the one that has my partners favorite character in it lmao

I actually put it down because I got too upset after chapter 4 oops, but now me and one of our friends have been watching my partner play the final hurdle so we've only got the final chapter left 💪💪✨

Character wise I do like Shuichi, Maki, and Kaito and the friendship they build between the three of them a lot, I also liked Ryoma more than I anticipated and I adore Gonta 😭

Miu can be fun and god I want to like her more than I do but then she says things and she's getting a triple duct tape wrap LMAO

Kirumi and Korekiyo have AMAZING aesthetics tho I gotta give them a shout out for that

[elysia-nsimp]

Hi Danganronpa community (specifically v3 for this post) !

I am. Working on a total rewrite of Danganronpa and also a non despair au for the characters

I posted a Kiyo redesign and it’s doing shockingly well (Tysm for that by the way I’m so glad Korekiyo fans don’t want to eat me alive :’)/gen) And someone suggested I make other v3 character redesigns

I’m already working on Kokichi, so he’s exempt from this list (also Kokichi fans scare me I am NOT ready to engage in that)

I couldn’t fit Tsumugi, Tenko, and Miu because of the answer limit sorry fans of them 💔💔

(Also if I spelled surnames wrong I’m so sorry I did it from memory)

[g0nta-g0kuhara]

im half awake and about to go to bed but my take of the night is that people Do Not read maki correctly (i may just be insane and perceiving things wrong because i am the Worlds Mosf Insane Maki Fan but bear with me)

so many people say that after chapter 5 she becomes nothing because her entire arc revolved around kaito and while thats true to an extent a lot of people act like she lost all her personality when its like. kaito helped her grow Just Like shuichi did and i never see ppl saying that about shuichi. he's just a major part in her character development not becwuse of some misogynistic Romance Plot but bc characters HELP EACH OTHER and AFFECT EACH OTHER (like he fueled a lot of her motives and whatnot such as in ch5 but so did other stuff like her hatred of kokichi + the flashback lights).... idk how people cant see that. she adds a lot of substance to the game after kaito is gone too because she becomes shuichis closest friend and her character development feels rlly satisfying in ch6 because you can see how shes gone from being reserved to being shuichi's closest friend. tl;dr she is more than a Kaito Accessory despite people what people say about her

this is not organized or coherent at all i am so tired i dont know how to put my thoughts together properly im SORRY

PLEASE YOU'RE SO RIGHT. I love the way her relationship grows with Shuichi, and I love how she changes because of Kaito, but its not like she's nothing without him!! Maybe its just because her character shifted so significantly after his death that people struggled to recognize that she is still her, just changed by the experience, rather than having lost a chunk of her character with kaito's death.

[raspbeyes]

Alright imma say it

It totally makes sense why everyone would be more upset over Kaito's death than Kokichi

Idk why theres this sentiment that Kokichi's desth was unfairly overshadowed by Kaito BUT YEAH NO HARD DISAGREE literally none of those remaining classmates would have any reason to show compassion for kokichi over kaito

Shuichi: as he is mc/player character his perspective matters most, so ill say the most on him. Sorry to saiouma fans (dw i do think the ship is cute but honestly works better under different circumstances for the two) but Shuichi has spent more time with kaito. After Kaede's death, it is Kaito (in Kaito's questionable way) who helped get Shuichi's willpower back. Kokichi says as much in ch 4. With shuichi being a very sensitive detective, he needed that pillar of support from kaito, one kokichi, while providing help in trials, doesnt give emotionally. Sure u can argue bias on Shuichi's part, but it is Kokichi's plot in ch 4 that caused him and Kaito to have a falling out, injured and captured Kaito in a bunker, and is the reason Kaito becomes the blackened Shuichi is forced to exposed and now watch be executed

Maki: Self explanatory af, but kokichi exposed her talent to everyone to have her be isolated due to kokichi's own distaste for murderers, regardless of maki's intent. Kokichi is the one who fucked around in ch 5 with her feelings, making her harbor guilt over supposedly killing kaito. It's his plot that gets Kaito killed off as blackened so yeah dont expect sympathy from her

Tsumugi: while idk if confirmed whether Kokichi had gone off Tsumugi's script, if that is the case, Tsumugi would 100% frustrated for kokichi messing up her plotline. Shes devoted her life to dr and has been a writer in numerous prior seasons. To have some kid try to attack the mastermind directly by messing with the game would to her feel like infringing on the game's intended entertainment. Besides, if everyone else hates kokichi, it's best for her to go along with it to blend in

Himiko: there def is a weird dynamic between the two, with himiko falling for exisal kokichi twice which is weird ... but yeah no overall himiko has a negative opinion of kokichi. While he did indirectly help her releasing her bottled up emotions in the end of ch 3, it's Kokichi’s way of doing things, meaning it usually comes off as rude. Pretty sure what Kokichi (and Gonta to an extent) caused in ch 4 is unforgivable for himiko, since literally everyone liked Gonta. Himiko out of everyone believed kokichi was the mastermind, feeling great despair once he revealed the truth of the outside world. While not specific, himiko is more of a case of kokichi's general creation of distrust in others. In contrast, kaito is uplifitng to himiko, being the one to defend her in ch 3 when tenko's death was ignored and moving the group along during ch 5.

Keebo: keebo admittedly has the most sympathetic view of kokichi after the trial, alluding to his "hopeful" nature and such, as well as his logical understanding of kokichi's motive. But generally, kokichi is just robophobic to keebo for the sake of pestering keebo, as well as asking invasive questions (do robots have di-?)

Kaito: without getting into kaito and kokichi's relationship/rivalry, kaito id argue does have the second most sympathetic reflection on kokichi, providing the group with Kokichi’s last words. Tho he does doubt them, mentioning he believed kokichi's plan wouldnt work (i personally hc that as just bluff to make shuichi feel better tho). And since its kokichi who blackmailed him into the plan, kokichi is in a sense responsible for Kaito's death so he'd probably wanna focus on making Shuichi and Maki feel better

Kokichi is my fav dr character but ngl he's a little shit to the remaining survivors. While i as an audience memebr feel terrible for him, im not upset or shocked by the characters' disinterest in his death

Disclaimer: Spoilers for Danganronpa V3

So, I was talking with my IRL friend @multifanforever, who is to blame if I am found dead for this take, and she said for me to come on here and let myself rant about my deep, irrational hatred for one Danganronpa character in particular. And I understand that many of you will disagree with me, and might leak my IP address somewhere. (read in Byakuya voice) Pwease be niceies, I'm just a little guy.

Anyways MAKI

I have an irrational hatred of Maki Harukawa, and I don't know why. I think it's because she gives off the vibes of an edgy tween's Gacha Life OC. Maki is the epitome of people who's roleplaying bio says "Dark Fairy/Emotionless/Don't Touch My Tail" or whatever.

Even down to the color scheme. Tell me that when you were twelve, you didn't have an OC or self-insert or whatever with her exact color scheme. And the Ultimate just exudes Shadow the Hedgehog wannabe. "Ultimate Assassin" give me a BREAK! I think with other characters similar to Maki in some ways, they just do it better.

"Maki's a great support character!" Nuh uh, Kyoko and Chiaki.

"Maki has awesome character development!" Byakuya and Fuyuhiko.

"Maki's a girlboss because she's good with weaponry!" Peko, Mukuro, hell, I'd even say Sonia for her boss ass bazooka move in Danganronpa 2.5, even though it technically wasn't real.

"Maki has a good arc about emotions and caring about others!" I can't sit here and list everyone else who does that, but better.

Even if you like Maki BECAUSE of her edgelord qualities, I raise you Celestia Ludenberg, and one of my absolute FAVORITE Danganronpa characters, Izuru Kamukura. Stylistically similar, and yet I'd pick Celeste and Izzy over Maki ANY DAY.

Her whole "Do you wanna die?" thing also gets on my nerves. Then she'll go "Sorry, it's a habit." Girly, no. Not a fan.

Speaking of Celestia, some of her sprites are so reminiscent of Celeste, it's crazy.

Look me in my eyes and tell me these two sprites don't give off the same vibes. And on the topic of Maki's sprites, her HAIR has a mind of it's own. And that's to be expected in Danganronpa, after all, I don't complain when a protagonist's ahoge decides to droop or bunch up in a separate sprite, or when Junko's hair magically smoothes out or gets in a ponytail.

BUT SHE'S TESTING MY PATIENCE

THE CLAWED NAILS TOO? MISS GIRL'S GOT DEMOGORGON FINGERS! SHE WANTS TO BE MIKAN SO BAD WITH THAT HAIR, BUT MIKAN IS AMAZING.

And you're Maki Harukawa.

The problem is, I tried to like her. Really did, because I like almost all Danganronpa characters, but she kept turning me off of her. Her backstory, at first I was like "Oh no, poor Maki. I feel bad for her." And then she'll turn around and go "Yeah, I can use pretty much all weapons, like poison and knives and guns and crossbows and-" I DONT CARE

Or she'll have a funny line here and there, and I'll giggle. "Maybe she's not so bad" and then she'll say something dumb like "Do you wanna die?"

Shuichi doesn't help matters either when he describes her as being "quick as lightning" or like "a streak of shadow" when she does anything. Or when she manages to pickpocket Kokichi with no pre-established penchance for it. Kokichi can pick locks, he says it, he uses it, it's relevant. Maki can pick pockets for one scene because the plot calls for it.

Even my girl Tenko was like "Oh don't show me your death glare, it's scawwyyyy" Like. Girl.

And I simply refuse to call her Maki Roll. That whole moment at the end of Chapter 5, before Kaito got to blast off, that moment wanted to be the end of Danganronpa 2, Chapter 2, so bad. But I much prefer Fuyupeko than Maki and Kaito, who's ship name I have no clue about.

Anyways, I'm going to get rushed, but my friend now owes me fifty dollars.

I love ranting about Danganronpa, ask me my opinions on a character and I'll toss em at ya.

[morangoowada]

flower emoji...sorry I'm on desktop LMAO

HI MOOT oh I had so many thoughts of things I could ramble about I couldn't decide which one to pick OWHROHWLEHWK

WE SHOULD MAKE QUEERPLATONIC SHIPS MORE POPULAR!!! I'm tired of amatonormativity WHERE ARE THE PLATONIC STUFF WHERE!!! Like okay I guess people like romance and stuff I can't say I don't like it too but other relationships are also important, so I'm going to ramble about some dangan relationship dynamics that are not romantic and I find them adorable

FIRST, Gundham and Sonia!! I can see why people like them as a couple, but consider... THEM BEING QUEERPLATONIC... I don't talk about Gundham very often but they're actually one of my fav characters and to me they are SOOOO ACE like really!!! I like their dynamic with Sonia they're so precious to me ❤️ AHHH I should draw these two together one day so I can just show my hcs in one place

Another dynamic that I really like is Aoi and Taka, those two are besties and NO ONE can tell me otherwise the writers were a bunch of cowards for not making them interact that much because I KNOW THESE TWO WOULD BE UNSTOPPABLE AS FRIENDS!!! Same thing with Sayaka and Taka, ohhh these two would also get along SO WELL. WE WERE ROBBED!!!

This one is so obvious because I'm a Mondo fan but. Mondo and Daiya. I swear the relationship of these two is so important and emotional to me... I'm such a fan of sibling dynamics and the way these two cared so much about each other... I have no words. I wish we had more info about Daiya but considering the little info we have we can already guess he was such a good guy and cared so much about Mondo. Oh I could go on and on talking about their relationship 😭

The last one because this is getting too long but umm... KAITO, SHUICHI AND MAKI ARE ALL IN A QUEERPLATONIC RELATIONSHIP TO ME‼️

[finsterkiibo]

How do you think confessed their feelings first out of Kiibo and Shuichi, and how do you think the confession went?

HI ANON I AM SO SORRY FOR TAKING SO LONG GETTING TO THIS ITS BEEN LIKE A MONTH OR LONGER IM SO SORRYYY AUGH at first I was planning to make one of my usual comics to answer this bc I Honestly Need To Make One for this concept BUT MOTIVATION WORKS AGAINST ME. I HOPE TO FINISH IT SOMEDAY. ITS STILL SOMETHING I NEEDDD TO DO.

BUT TO ANSWER YOUR QUESTION! I have many many confession ideas in my head, self indulgent ones, hypothetical ones, accidental ones, etc. etc. BUT for my most canon compliant, most realistic, most canon TO ME confession scenerio, shuichi is the one to confess! And it’s postgame as well! obviously after kiibo is rebuilt, probably a few months to a year after he’s rebuilt? (realistically). I feel like shuichi most certainly fell for kiibo first, and definitely caught some sort of feelings ingame, especially in some of the later chapters and ftes. but realistically? in a situation like that? especially after kaede and kaito? I don’t think he’d ever want to confess not knowing if either of them would ever make it out. And kiibo on the other hand has a very loose grasp on love ingame and knowing how he kind of looked down on shuichi as inferior for their first few interactions, I think it’s very likely it took him A Bit longer to properly appreciate shuichi as a person and start gaining feeling for him himself (I do think it happens later ingame for him too, but he’s just a lot less aware that those feelings are love as opposed to just strong liking or trust in shuichi after properly interacting with eachother)

but for the scenerio itself, I headcanon all the survivors living together in an apartment postgame! himiko and maki sharing a room and kiibo and shuichi sharing a room, to save space and pay less. Himiko and Maki got jobs almost immediately after they escaped the kg to pay for their home properly while shuichi stayed home figuring out how to rebuild kiibo (though ofc himiko and maki helped when they could!!) So! in that inbetween time before shuichi got a job as well and after kiibo was rebuilt, they spent A LOT of their free time together. They learned things about eachother they never got the chance to ingame. Saw sides of eachother they never got to see before. Without a killing game looming over their head (despite the trauma still very much effecting them) they both were really able to get so much closer. Spend so much more time doing mundane everyday life things, walking, running errands, cooking, cleaning, just. Living. This is when it really settled in for shuichi. this wasn’t just some sudden crush and attachment he had in a killing game, he loves kiibo. he loves seeing kiibo smile. he loves hearing kiibos voice. he loves walking alongside him as they stroll through the neighborhood. he loves kiibo. and this sort of settled in for kiibo too, though he’s still new to the emotion, he’s realizing his attatchment and want to be around and spend time with shuichi is more than just the feeling of friendship. but he just can’t figure it out. why does he feel horrible when shuichi is away. why do his fans go off whenever shuichi smiles…. he must be malfunctioning.

until one night, shuichi laid in his bed, having made the excuse he was going to bed early, leaving the others to finish off dinner. yet he laid there wide awake, his mind racing, going back and fourth on whether he should ever even bother confronting kiibo on his feelings, when kiibo walked in a few hours later to plug himself in for the night too. “this is it.” “just get it over with.” shuichis mind screamed. shuichi sat up, asking to see if kiibo was still powered on. Kiibo perking up from the desk across shuichis bed and telling him he was, and wasn’t expecting shuichi to still be wide awake himself. shuichi stayed silent for a moment, looking down at his hands, fidgeting them a bit. kiibo asking if he needed anything and if he was okay. shuichi looks up at kiibo and just. says it. “I love you, Kiibo.” Kiibo sat in silence for a moment, processing the four whole words that came out of his friends mouth, buffering like a computer. was this just some sort of elaborate prank? shuichi wouldn’t…. then it hit him. that’s what kiibo was feeling. his dread when shuichi leaves and his want to be around him constantly and cheer him up wasnt just some fucked up malfunction. he loved shuichi. And shuichi loved him too.

WENT INTO MEGA RAMBLING TERRITORY AND BORDERLINE FANIC WRITING SORRY ABOUT THAT OOPSIESS APOLOGIES IF ANYTHING DOESNT MAKE SENSE IM NOT AN AUTHOR OR ANYTHING

I JUST REALLY WANTED IT PROPERLY LAYED OUT AND IM GLAD SOMEONE ASKED!! THANK YOU SO MUCH ANON! I HOPE THIS ANSWERS YOUR QUESTION!! hopefully I’ll finish that comic someday eheheh been struggling with it for over a month now and I don’t even color my comics </3

[kazuichikazuichi]

hello friend :)) how about kaede for the ask game if you’d like to do her!!!

hello!! :))) kaede my beloved, of course i would love to talk about her!!! lots of things to say lots of things to say! i think she might be my favourite v3 girl

least favourite thing about them: literally such a dumb thing but: her bangs. idk why but i ALWAYS draw them the wrong way around, then have to correct my sketch by checking reference pictures lol?? which is so weird bc i love kaede but it just won't stay in my brain. kaede please swap your hair direction for me and me only, thank you

favourite thing about them: i love how positive and encouraging she is! i love how she took up the leader position and tried to keep everyone positive and find a way out in ch1 :) and in terms of gameplay, i just absolutely love ch1's angle with the protagonist being the killer (i know she isn't really, but that's how the chapter functions lol) it was such a unique twist. if i didn't spoil the game for myself (on purpose, like, i just straight up went and read the entire plot on wikipedia right after character interactions and stuff for every game😭😭) i definitely wouldn't have seen it coming. but then going back through it and seeing all the small hints aa i love it

favourite line: i can't remember the exact words but doesn't she say at some point that she wants everyone to be friends when they escape? :) not a voiced line i don't think but she's such a sweetheart

brotp: i am such a sucker for kaito and kaede being friends, my silly lil guys, so silly such bffs. i just love them both and they are both so encouraging and sweet and lovely!! they would high five each other lots

otp: my two favourites are gonna have to beeee tenkaede and kaemaki :) tenkaede for obvious reasons, my silly little lesbians i ADORE them, so perfectly matched for each other!! i love how she calls tenko cute multiple times lol :) it sucks that they're somewhat a rarepair, i wish there was more art and fics of them out there :( i will have to just make them myself lol. then for kaemaki, i knowww it's so silly because saimatsu and kaimaki are so common and im literally just flipping them but....idk, i just much prefer it this way around! :) i like imagining that kaede is the only one who can break maki's shell and get to the vulnerable side of her. and i love their interactions in utdp especially the one including chihiro

notp: as with the kaito ask thing, it isn't a ship i hate at all, just one i dislike more than the average danganronpa fan i think, so no hate if you like it whatsoever!!... saimatsu :') i headcanon kaede as a lesbian so not a massive fan of shipping her with boys anyway personally (okay I've just realised other than rantaro, in literally every character ask post I've answered i headcanon them as gay lol😭 i swear it isn't everyone! justttt quite a lot) and specifically about saimatsu, it's sweet but it just feels so forced, like they didn't wanna give anyone a chance to ship either of them before she died yknow? i love them as friends though :)) <3

random headcanon: she has a little heart shaped pillow on her bed that she cuddles while she sleeps

unpopular opinion: i'm not sure if i really have any for her, hmmm sorry!

a song i associate with them: it has to be clair de lune, right?! :)

favourite picture of them: she is such a sweetheart! comfortin silly little shu!! i love pretty much any picture of her though

thank you for asking about kaede!!!! :D this was lots of fun!! and for anyone else still curious im happy to answer about more characters :)

[snellyfish]

Which characters from any media you watch/read do you hc to be in a QPR? sorry if I'm loading you with questions 😭

Every time I think of QPR headcanons my mind IMMEDIATELY goes to Akane/Fuyuhiko, they have an unbreakable bond and no one can convince me otherwise ok?ok 🔪

Ibuki/Hajime and Ibuki/Kazuichi are incredibly solid too.... HM I'm realizing I tend to do this when I hc a character as gay/lesbian, theoretically like a contradictory ship dynamic for them, and am too uncomfy with it being romantic due to my personal sexuality headcanons LMAO.

I'm a big fan of aroace Rantaro and Kirumi so I tend to think about queerplatonic stuff for them both whenever I see interesting ships for either of them! MOSTLY the two of them together, (where my Amatojo's in the audience at...) or Kirumi/Maki, Rantaro/Kaito, Rantaro/Miu, etc there's probably more

Maybe for Saimota too but hmm, I've never figured out if I like them just as a romantic ship better or not. tasty either way i think 👌

THAT'S ALL DANGANRONPA HAHA. maaaaybe some yttd qp hcs but idk if anyone's interested 👉👈 Other than that, not sure I have another fandom I'm super into thinking about ships for, I could probably think of some for KNY if I tried really hard though (immediately thought Enmu/Douma lollll)
