#they wanted to be the blackened

Okay now I want to go through Tsumugi's discussions of cosplay because she's clearly talking about THIS.

The comment about always making cosplay costumes for people who don't actually appreciate the character but want to make it all about them. How she's always made costumes for people but she's not going to do it for those kinds of people anymore but only for people who sincerely love and want to be the character. How - after a long time - she's started wearing her own costumes because she loves those characters so much - especially so much more than those people.

Tsumugi. Tsumugi you're talking about writing for Danganronpa. Tsumugi you're poking at people who don't even realize what you're saying but were definitely people who were more about themselves than the character (except Shuichi, who came with his character idea intact). Tsumugi you're talking about making sure these people play the character and not using Danganronpa as a vehicle to make a season or a case all about them. Tsumugi you are talking about including these people in your stories as a gift and why you finally decided to join the story as a character yourself instead of sitting on the sidelines.

Tsumugi you aren't talking about cosplay YOU'RE META TALKING ABOUT DANGANRONPA.

EDIT: SHE'S ALSO PROBABLY TALKING ABOUT BEING THE MASTERMIND.

Kloktober2023 Day 7: Missing AOTD Scene

Your only friends / Oh, be anything I want to be? have turned on you. / Oh, is this just a dream? I am that voice, / Oh, give away so willfully... you need me too. / Oh, please carry me away!

I should make a desolation type avatar that isn’t focused on fire. While yes I do love the fire theming, there are so many other things that can make you lose everything in an instant. Water for one, lightning, gambling, earthquakes, car accidents, divorces, famine, tornadoes, and so on and so forth. I want to make a desolate avatar who’s cold, emaciated from famine. You invite them into your house only find that all your food ends up rotting now since their visit, and any time you buy more it’s just sludge by the time you get home. You become starved. The only food that doesn’t rot is the dreaded ramen cups you subsisted entirely off of during your years in Uni. How you hate and despise those ramen cups. Last time you ate out you got food poisoning and your beginning to wonder if you ever eat anything else ever again.

Headcanon that Luo Bingge's birthday would be the day he left the Abyss, hear me out

Realistically, we have no idea when LBG's birthday is - and I'm pretty sure even he doesn't know exactly because he was, you know, sent down the Luo River for who-knows-exactly how long. The point is that birthdays are a touchy subject for him, because that implies that someone wanted to bring him into this world. His parents? Did they even want him? Why did they abandon him? Why did he have to grow up like this?

The only positive point is the washerwoman, but even then, that was the best part of his life. When she dies, a part of him dies too, and birthdays become an even more distant part because the only one who truly cared for him isn't even in this realm. Besides, when he comes along to QJP, he's probably thinking along the lines of "I've got no time for birthdays when I could be CULTIVATING"

And of course he gets bullied and everything, and the abyss is the last straw holding him sane. When he gets pushed into it, he gets the confirmation that indeed no one wants him. Even though there was NYY, she was still pampered by SQQ. And if anything, she might not want to see him like... this unless he gets powerful enough to EARN her love. (Aka Luo Bingge has self-esteem issues).

After all that hell in the abyss, when he comes out, he's no longer that white lotus, the one who believes in the good in everyone and that hard work will always pays off. No, he is now fully blackened and renewed with a new goal in mind: to make everyone pay and go down in history as a someone. He feels as if he found his true purpose in life, and god he is going to fulfill it. For once, he celebrates his birthday - not as the day of his physical birth, but of the person who he believes he must be and the person that was something he could never dream of. When Luo Bingge fell in the Abyss, Luo Binghe the sheep died and Luo Bingge, demon cultivator and tyrant, was born.

Also, it makes for a great tragic story when trying to wife up someone, and LBG fully intends on manipulating it to serve his purpose.

But sometimes, just sometimes, he dreams and thinks about the life before it. What would it be like if... if...? However, he promptly soon dismisses it because the past is the past. He cannot change it even if he wanted to. All he can do now is seek vengeance upon it.

"It is too easy to dismiss [Leonor of Navarre] as an overambitious schemer who would do anything to obtain a crown, shedding the blood of her own siblings and her subjects in order to attain the throne. However, a deeper investigation of her long lieutenancy and ephemeral reign shows a woman who fought tenaciously to preserve her place but also worked tirelessly to administer a realm which was crippled by internal conflict and the center of the political schemes of France, Aragon, and Castile. She tried to broker peace, fight off those who opposed her, repair the wounds caused by conflict, protect the sovereignty of the realm, and keep the wheels of governance turning. Leonor was not always successful in achieving all of these aims but given the background of conflict and the lack of cooperation she received from all of her family members, bar her loyal husband, it is a huge achievement that she survived to wear the crown at all. Many writers have argued that Leonor deserved the troubled lieutenancy, personal tragedies, an ephemeral reign, and a blackened reputation, basing their assumption that she committed a crime that cannot be [conclusively] proven. However, a more fitting description of her would be that of a resolute ruler who successfully overcame a multitude of challenges in order to survive in a difficult political landscape and gain a hard-fought throne.”

Cain and Duke are the metaphor of being human despite everything!! that attachment and love and hate finds it's way into any crack even when we think we're above or below emotion!! love and hate will survive in the most harshest, unwanted conditions!! that even when we know everything is fake and a charade and one long game and everyone is being used and you are being used you will find love and affection in any fragment of it even when you know it's fake!!! how they're sure it's fake, i don't know because they are complex and we are beyond machines that feel nothing!!! they will be humans no matter how much they wish not to!!we will all fall to the inevitability of the human heart!!! we all suffer the beautiful imperfection of being human!!! can anyone hear me!!!

I just remembered that Monaca convinced her father to mass manufacture Monokumas for "housekeeping". Obviously there was hidden intentions behind doing that, as they where just used for the apocalypse.

But, for TPYP, Junko has some of HER Monokumas and those Monokumas. They ARE housekeeping, they restock and deal with the corpses of her classmates. They take care of things because Junko isn't here and Ryoko is locked away.

To me, it's a lil "I love you" to Monaca.
