JUNE MY BELOVED HOW ARE YOU DOING

OH ELLIE!! MY DEAR!!! i'm doing so well. today was a special day and i do hope you won't mind my rambling.

up here in canada we've been having a dreadfully strange winter, and i've been yearning for rain and spring. after three months of snow and huge temperature fluctuations, finally, today, we got rain. and i hadn't even seen it in the forecast, but my boyfriend and i were leaving the bookstore we had visited (for the sheer enjoyment of the pretty displays and public piano) and he said he thought it was going to rain.

i asked him if he was okay with a detour. he seemed intrigued, and i assured him that it was not going to be a pretty detour, but a detour nonetheless. he agreed and voiced his curiosity. we drove for a few minutes to a park on the outskirts of town—neither of us grew up in this city, and so it was new to him and hard to remember directions to for me. we pulled in and stepped out into the slush of the parking lot.

we had only just made it to the entrance to the path when we noticed the rain had begun. i turned to him, and asked him if he wanted to turn back. he shook his head. we kept on.

my makeup ran, and our coats were soaked, and our feet grew cold. our hands, too—but we held onto each other. as we reached the halfway point of the loop, we slowed to admire the rain and the slush and the naked trees and birdsong and each other. i took my (wet) glasses off, tilted my face back, and let the rain swallow my sensation. after a few moments, my boyfriend kissed me, and we kept on.

i've never been kissed in the rain before. maybe i've been kissed when it's been sprinkling, and i've dreamt about it plenty of times. all i can think is that the little, hopeless, sophomore june, three years ago, would have had weak knees at the experience, no different than i.

i've often thought that my truest self has rain careening over their face. right there, in that moment—i was freezing, damp, uncomfortable, oh-so-alive. and there, not alone for a change, i was admired as myself.

no, it really was not a pretty detour. not unless you find beauty in grey skies, in wet socks, in running mascara and cold lips and aching grip. not unless you find beauty in keeping on when the rain comes.

("Always. Continuously. With increasing apprehension, and decreasing hope. I will love you if I never see you again, and I will love you if I see you every Tuesday. I will love you as a corpse loves the beak of the vulture. I will love you no matter what happens to you, and no matter how I discover what happens to you, and no matter what happens to me as I discover this." -- paraphrased from The Beatrice Letters, Lemony Snicket)

Twisted Wonderland self-aware!Yuu except they’re empathic.

When I say self-aware!Yuu I don’t mean a scenario where Yuu transmigrated into Twisted Wonderland with memories intact.

When I say self-aware!Yuu I mean someone who knows themselves better than anyone else.

They know they have flaws. They know that, sometimes, their flaws will get in the way. Whether it’s shutting down emotionally, not being able to express themselves properly, or something to do with a physical ability. Their flaws will always follow them around. Even in Twisted Wonderland.

And yet, self-aware!Yuu is still kind. Still loving all of their strengths and flaws.

Ace needing a place to stay after Riddle off’d-his-head? “Yes, of course you can sleepover.”

Deuce breaking down after letting his delinquent side out? “No, you’re not a bad guy— you just protected me and Grim from those bullies!”

Riddle having a crisis after his overblot? “I don’t accept your apology. Not yet at least. But I can understand why acted this way… you’re allowed to feel angry about your past. You didn’t deserve that kind of treatment.”

No matter how wrong the opponent is, self-aware!Yuu always empathizes with them in the end.

Maybe one day, someone confronts them about it. I can see Leona or Azul or Rollo and maybe Jamil. They’re people who have experienced and or seen how terrible people can be.

“Why are you so nice all the time? You’re too thought. Too kind. Good people like you always end up last.”

Perhaps self-aware!Yuu will look at them with a stoic face. Perhaps a shocked expression, accompanied by a frantic gasp. Perhaps even small laugh at their question. And just as the confronting student was about to retort again, self-aware!Yuu will smile.

“Well, I’m not a good person. I just do what I think is right.”

Self-aware!Yuu will sit down, watching activities unfold around them— heart still bursting full of kindness. They’ll pat the empty space beside them. An invitation, but it’s up to the student to take the initiative.

“It’s everyone’s first time living after all. May as well make it kind.”

Soon enough, if the student plucks their courage, they’ll sit and slowly learn how to become self-aware too.

so a dunmeshi fan on Twitter pointed this out and even if it might have been meant jokingly, it started making me think a lil

first let’s open these images fully…

sure, you could argue that he flips out more with Mithrun bc they’re trapped alone in a lower level of the dungeon with more dangerous monsters waiting to be rescued, and i’m sure that’s part of it lol, but

it also made me think abt this moment from earlier when Kabru is fighting the sea serpent, that has stuck in my mind since

why can't Kabru let himself panic? why does Kabru "have to handle it"? like OK i think the rest of his party had wiped again and it was up to him to save everyone. but beyond that...

Kabru is his party's leader, simply enough, but i can also imagine him feeling responsible for them bc the "prevent another Utaya" mission is his, and he recruited them to come along with him and help. we've also seen how they mostly defer to his decisions, think he's the best person to rule over the dungeon, etc, and with that trust comes weight and the potential to let those who trust in you down.

i'm not saying they blindly follow him or aren't competent adventurers, but there's a leader <-> follower dynamic there.

thinking back to earlier in the story, we don't really see Kabru outwardly flipping out, even when he's possibly about to get killed (like he is here). we see him smiling and keeping a cheery, approachable front around his party generally, but i think his mask extends to keeping a brave face in front of danger so the others don't get (more) alarmed, too.

as others have pointed out though, while waiting for rescue, kabumisu depend on each other to have each other's back, as equals. beyond Kabru knowing Mithrun doesn't have any desires, Kabru also doesn't have to be a leader and keep morale up in the ways he usually would.

but, yeah, we see Kabru losing it in his internal narration earlier on in the story sometimes, but not outwardly, i don't think. it's quite something to imagine that he might've been screaming internally the whole time but simply setting it aside for the good of his party members

A cancerous tumor named Kokichi Oma took over my brain when I passed the fifth chapter of Darganronpa V3 a year ago

Yesterday he finally beat me

I bought an acrylic keychain with Kokichi and now I am lost to society
