[rindragon-from-twewy]

These rats are so hungry they chewed on my fishnets

I leave for a week to find my ask box full of rats!!! It's chill lol- gives me the chance to put my Beatrix Potter artists studies to good use (finally!) But if you want, you're totally free to private message me about it instead- this is more of a fanart/fanfic blog then anything else at the end of the day ig- /pos

On another note, I saw a mouse in the london underground the other day. It was very small and round and pretty cute tbh- I've never seen a rodent in that kinda environment before so it was kinda cool- :)

[ny4npire]

This is rlly ooc but that’s okay bc jealous vivia is interesting to me

[yakool-foolio]

How do you think the friendships and relationships between the NDA detectives + kurumi would have progressed if the case had gone on longer than it did in canon? Do you think they would have gotten to the point where they started treating each-other more like family members/siblings?

It's safe to say that the longer the NDA detectives spend together, the tighter their bonds are. The survivors of the massacres went through hell and are now stuck in a place that wants them doubly dead. Since they're outsiders--them against the city--they have to stick together. They're found family through and through, and that doesn't have to mean they only treat each other as siblings or other typical family roles! Found family is far broader than that, as it's overall about a supportive system of characters that understand each other through shared experiences. If ya want to think of them with sibling dynamics, that's chill! I just like to advise that it's not the only way to explore their bonds. Go crazy!

This actually reminded me of one of my old pre-release theories about the overarching story of Rain Code, which ended up sounding kinda similar to Danganronpa 2 in terms of the characters' relations and histories. Here's what I wrote about it:

Basically, I theorized that all the detectives being sent to Kanai Ward were outcasts in the WDO, mainly by the basis that some of their Fortes would involve illegal actions or they are simply unwanted by their status (Desuhiko with identity theft, Melami with grave-robbing, Vivia possibly killing someone based on the teardrop tattoo, Zange who could've been ex-military, Aphex being a street rat who resorts to violence, Halara potentially scamming people outta their money, etc.). And so, due to them being undesirable in the WDO, they were sent out to solve Kanai Ward's problems because they were considered canon fodder and no one would really care if they died during their time there. However, Yakou took them in knowing their divisive statuses. As someone who was also considered to be a 'bottom of the barrel' WDO detective since he had no Forte, Yakou quickly warmed up to them and refused to treat them as low-lives due to circumstances outside of their control.

Kiiiinda wish this was a part of canon, but it's real in my heart. Bless the existence of AUs.

RAIN CODE X POKEMON:

Yuma and Eevee

You Heard of Detective Pikachu... Get ready for Detective Eevee!

Yuma's Eevee is also a top detective. (it also strongly resembles him) Raised in the WDO all it's life, it has a lot of strong insight and can usually tell if a culprit has malicious intent behind them. (but since it only senses malicious intent it isn't always right on the culprit) It's also very helpful during investigations. (its had lots of experience) With Yuma having amnesia, Eevee is very helpful to him during crime scene investigations. It has a serious nature and it has a strong will.

Of course, because of this, it does not get along with Shinigami. Because of Eevee's strong insight, it can sense her. (and pokemon and human are bound in this world by a link, so whatever yuma can see, eevee can usually see too) Being the jealous type, she calls it a “rat” constantly telling Yuma that it would just get in his way. With both of them being Yuma's partner, they became rivals. They fight and argue a lot (shinigami can understand pokemon speech) causing poor Yuma to get a headache. Yuma also has Shinigami translate what Eevee says during investigations. (tho she almost never complies unless yuma says "please" or begs her, causing eevee to get annoyed with her again) The fighting never ends with them.

Eevee does get along fairly well with the rest of the nocturnal detective agency’s Pokémon partners. It becomes best friends with Desuhiko’s partner, it has a fellow kinship with Halara’s partner since both are oddly colored, when it later meets Fubuki’s partner for the short time it comes to their aid it gets along pretty okay with it, its a little wary of Vivia’s partner, but it doesn’t hate it. And it likes to hang and take naps with the chief's partner when its at the agency (though it isn’t often) Outside of the agency, the only other Pokémon it knows personally is Kurumi’s partner. It actually has a huge crush on Eevee and loves following it around whenever Yuma and Kurumi are together. And it eventually meets Makoto’s partner, though it isn’t until MUCH later. Makoto lies saying he doesn’t have a partner when he first meets it and Yuma. But in reality, he's hiding it from sight.

Eevee can join in the Mystery Laybrinth as a guest due to the Coalescence ability since it is usually on Yuma's shoulder. Meaning it does sadly forget the case it helped it's master investigate. But it helps in other ways. When in a Mystery Labyrinth, Eevee holds onto the Solution Keys until Yuma asks for them. It carries them in a little keyring. After the mystery is solved it forgets the event like any other guest. But it makes Yuma bond with it more, since he remembers.

HUGE RAINCODE SPOILERS BELOW

Being the partner of Number One of the WDO, Eevee completely objected to his master using the Book Of Death to erase his memory for the Kanai Ward Mystery. (so it already didn't like shinigami) But he told Eevee to look after him and always be by his side to help Shinigami form him into a detective using the skills they both learned in their journey becoming Number One, together.

Since this was a command from it's master, Eevee obliged. It cared deeply for him and made sure to keep a watchful eye on him.

Through Yuma's amnesiac journey, Eevee remained by his side. Despite Yuma forgetting about it, he still allowed it to stay with him no matter how much Shinigami protested. It proved helpful in every case and even in the Mystery Labyrinth. And is even a good source of comfort for Yuma whenever he gets anxious. (he gives it hugs :3) It was always cheering for him, even if he lost his memory.

Though the memory loss does cause a bit of friction in their relationship. It even causes them to fight in Chapter 4. Due to it having the same worry as Vivia, because Eevee knew who the culprit was from the start. (Sensing the murderous and malicious intent from the culprit when he rescued Yuma) It felt conflicted and caused it to be distant from Yuma. It was both disappointed in his reluctance and worried for his feelings. Even though it knew feelings had to be discarded in these situations, with the methods of the WDO (and Number One himself) it knew for so long.

Though after Yuma got stronger from the ordeal and before the final battle, the two were practically inseparable. Shinigami even earned a bit of respect for it (though she still calls it a rat)

Up until they reach the ugly truth and Makoto reveals himself behind the mask, as well as the partner he's kept hidden all this time.

Shinigami and Eevee finally make attempts to team up to help Yuma get through the last laybrinth and final battle with his homunculus. Helping him out of the despair he feels losing who he is when both of them remember who he truly is and that he shouldn't give up. Because they're both by his side.

Once he snaps out of it the final battle between the two begin. Eevee fights Mimikyu while Yuma fights Makoto.

In the end they are both defeated. And they find the solution for Kanai Ward's mystery. Eevee comforts Mimikyu the whole time Yuma is talking to Makoto.

In the end, Shinigami acknowledges Yuma's partner and admits defeat. Allowing Yuma to leave from the emergency exit. Telling him he already has a great partner. Though the goodbye was still tearful and emotional. Even Eevee shed a few tears. It had began to get used to Shinigami's company. But it knew this would happen, but she would be missed. Eevee comforted Yuma until the fated goodbye kiss from her, as both of them left through the emergency exit.

Upon the Epilogue of the story, the final labyrinth, and Yuma getting his memory back after parting ways with Shinigami, he embraces his beloved partner as Eevee squeals in joy with it's beloved master's memory returned.

"Thank you, Eevee. Good work."

Eventually with his resign from the WDO and journey through the world to erase all unsolved mysteries, his Eevee eventually evolves into Umbreon during a case at night. Becoming ESPECIALLY more useful in night investigations. Using it's glowing rings to help navigate through the dark, AND it can now produce ultraviolet light to help investigate in crime scenes (in a way it became its own forte although its rings are blue it can also produce purple light) The duo was stronger than ever now that they've both evolved from the Kanai Ward experience, together.

The Noir Detective and his Partner of the Night~🔎

(Yuma and Eevee were more like business partners when he was Number One with it as his partner, but the journey through Kanai Ward made Yuma love and care for Eevee as a friend, and thus post game when Yuma appreciates Eevee more with his memories back from the experience, the friendship evolution finally happens. The Journey helped them both grow as individuals, and as friends)

I don't know but you pulled a rifle out of your pocket!!

You should shoot the rats w a rifle like what you did in that one dream I had (⁠ ⁠◜⁠‿⁠◝⁠ ⁠)⁠♡

[askthenocturnaldetectiveagency]

Vivia's surprisingly calm Abt Luna considering he ran away from rat cleaning earlier

I just have her cuddling me that's not taking any effort on my behalf.

still wished you helped scrub all the blood though...

[director-yomi-hellsmile]

I am unfortunately the worst person to ask about the NDA ever I do an audible cartoon gulp every time the topic comes up on seth-burroughs. In my heart I do know they are probably very good and normal characters. And I do like most of them as characters in the character sense if I look from the perspective of them being characters. However I'm very sorry but I just hate them as people. I will not look at any of their actions objectively or reasonably because I just see them as sewer rats and the most annoying thing that has ever happened in the history of Kanai Ward. I feel absolutely nothing regarding Yakou other than vaguely not feeling bad at all for anything that ever happened to him because half of that he brought upon himself and I wish I could crack his ribs a little bit more, it was funny, also he's annoying. I'm still really fucking pissed at Halara and if we could take them out we would but literally every time a peacekeeper got close to this beast they got launched like 10 feet into the air so that's fun I guess, also they're annoying. Vivia instills unimaginable amounts of rage into my body whenever I'm forced to look at him, also he's annoying. Desuhiko. And he touched me. Ew. I don't actually have anything against Fubuki. I am actually making myself pissed thinking about Yuma's crimes against me personally and I need to hit something. I actually need to limit my wordage on this one because a red dot will appear on my forehead if I'll keep going about this demon. Anyway I am a changed man now and I do recognize that they could be considered "based" in some departments, so I will not torture and kill them with 100000 bullets but I am still very upset .

@ga-ga-ga-asore @toberjade @gremlinforsale

[rindragon-from-twewy]

Btw the rats are immortal I think

I'm guessing the poison wasn't expired? Either way that's actually crazy- I suggest you either find a magic nut cracker, find the sugarplum princess and harness her power to defeat the rat king, putting an end to this invasion OR gather as many as possible, put them in a locked box so that they may consume eachother and then release the remaining cannibal rat out into the habitat of your worst enemy. :)

In the mistfit AU during the chapter 4 remake when the NDA go to save Yuma will Makoto be a help or a hindrance. because he’s mad at them for allowing Yuma to get captured and becomes like Shinigami not trusting anyone but himself to protect his original.

On the topic will there be some resistance from Yuma himself during the rescue or will he be to injured to resist from Yomi and homonculus expirements

Oooh, these are great questions to think on! I’m gonna ramble my thoughts on those. (This took longer than I thought, I am so sorry, but I finally got it: prepare for an onslaught of your asks finally being answered—for the Misfit AU).

I would say yes, he would be antagonistic and a hindrance even to the Nocturnal Detective Agency because they did played a role in getting Yuma captured, not trusting them like Shinigami. However, it also goes a little deeper than that. In the Second Act, Makoto has been acting sort of against the Detectives, out of a mix of jealousy that they are so close to Yuma while their relationship fades away, and being a puppet master to guide the Nocturnal Detective Agency to take out Yomi for him. But in this AU, he is also aiming to keep Yuma safe from the war because he does not want him to get dragged back into his past trauma. Unfortunately, Yuma ends up getting dragged into the conspiracy either way, and the Detectives had a hand in it (and I don’t just mean Vivia, the others may have had a hand in it as well, especially Yakou). He decides to not only prevent the Detectives from reaching where Yuma in, but tries to save Yuma himself.

(Also to note: this is not actually a chapter 4 remake, but rather a chapter 5 remake with little bits of elements from chapter 4–basically taking place in a lab of sorts as well, but more so the Outskirts).

As for Yuma, he would be hesitant to go with the Detectives, not because of their actions having an effect on him, but because of his own actions and being the Death Detective in general. He would be trying to escape though because when he turned himself in, he thought he was going to be sent to prison which he would have stayed put. Instead, he is in a lab being experimented on like a lab rat for the Homunculus experiment. He did not sign up for that! He goes with Makoto as he is willing to help him escape and leave Kanai Ward altogether. However, Shinigami, having grown to care and trust the Nocturnal Detective Agency, tries to break Yuma out of his depressive mindset he is in. The conflicting feelings would divide Yuma, leading to an emotional turnabout as the truth about Makoto, the war, and the experiment he has been subjected to is finally brought to light.

Oh, and he would be injured too, but Makoto tends to him (and later the Detectives as well).
