#yeah i just called danganronpa art. fight me it counts

[ladditt]

sorry for getting on my soap box but,

i believe it's symptomatic of a greater shift in how people seem to be looking at media these days. it seems like everything that doesn't service The Plot^tm is seen as excessive and something that should have been left on the writing room floor. this is from fandoms and big studios both.

filler episodes that expand the world building, or allow the characters to breathe? cut it, it doesn't service The Plot

conversations focusing on small character moments? why are these here? they aren't servicing The Plot.

small character inconsistencies, or contradictions that give a greater insight to their frame of mind? bad writing obviously.

inconsequential characters that don't directly impact anything, but contribute to themes, worldbuilding, relationships or just plain fun? why are we focusing on them?! we could have spent this time talking about The Plot!

i know it can be fun ragging on a piece of media for whatever stupid reason, but i genuinely believe that some people think that media should be like, a bullet point summery of the events that take place. and not like, a complex work of art? like they'd rather be reading the wiki than actually watching/playing the thing

I humbly ask the public: why must a Danganronpa character be 'useful'? Is it not enough that they provide laughter and whimsy to an otherwise dismal environment? Is 'useful' only in the context of solving murders, rather than providing the player an entertaining and enriching story?

that's absolutely my take these days too. i definitely joke that XYZ character is Useless but it's all about the funsies

A/N: Hello! These are my first hcs for the danganronpa fandom but I’m certainly going to write more. I just love these boys with my whole small heart You’re going to notice Korekyo doesn’t appear in these and be like “Oh, lala, you dummy, you forgot Kyo!” but I do remembered him, I just choose not to write about him. Ever. Anyways, enjoy!

Gonta Gokuhara

Omg you’re so tiny next to him

Gonta is extremely careful with you, he’s afraid his superhuman strength will break you

He will help you with anything he can

Oh, you have to grab something at the higher shelf? Gonta can lift you no problem

You sprained your ankle? Gonta will gladly carry you home

He has to scoop whenever you two will kiss, so you tell him it’s okay to lift you up a little if it will ease his back

So expect lots of him picking you up and spinning before sweetly kissing you

Really, Gonta gives the softest kisses

When you’re both siting he gently holds you close by your waist and leaves quick pecks all over you face and neck

And he absolutely adores when you cup his face with your tiny hands

If you want to heat things up you’ll have to sit on his lap, straddling his legs

He’ll be a blushing mess but will keep kissing you as the soft baby he is

So it ends up with you firmly grabbing his shirt and kissing the life out of him

Gonta will surely show you his insect cage and compare you with the little ones

“You so tiny and cute, remind Gonta of ladybug!”

Later you notice how he refers to the ladybug by your name

“Today Gonta no could feed (Y/N).” He murmurs to himself, intensely staring at the insect

So pure

Gonta will fight anyone who insults or makes jokes about your height

Kaito Momota

You’re so cute he can’t handle it

He’s always there when you can’t reach something just so he can show you how tall and strong he looks as he reach the thing you need

Really, he will appear out of nowhere if you need him

He passes one arm around your waist and leans down to kiss you passionately whenever he’s proud of you even if it’s just for changing a light bulb

Kaito definitely gives you nicknames because of your height

“Little (Y/N)”, “Small bean” and “Baby girl” are the ones he uses the most

But he will get pissed if he sees anyone calling you that especially if it’s Kokichi

If you’re into high hells he’ll gladly buy you some

Cause he just loves the smile on your face when you’re just a little bit taller

He absolutely loves when you’re on your tiptoes to kiss him

Or when you pull him down by his jacket to reach his lips

Especially in public, he likes being seen with you

He likes putting his hand on the top of your head as he explains something to you

“See, little (Y/N), you can’t just trust people like that.”

And he would totally be that person who leans forward with their hands on their knees to be the same height as you

And he would regret it forever cause you got PISSED

Kaito will also throw fists at anyone who mentions your height as something bad

Kiibo

Kiibo doesn’t really care about your height

But he does like the fact that he’s taller

It makes him feel stronger and shows you how you’re safe around him

So expect him to ask if you need help literally all the time

“Yes, Kiibo, I need help. Come here and kiss me.”

He will be blushing and overheating as he quietly obeys and leans to kiss you

And later he realizes you didn’t need him to kiss you, you were just messing with him because he was bothering you

And he blushes even more

So since that day he stops to admire how you overcome your small stature with smartness

From grabbing a chair to reach the cabinet with the plates to throwing pillows to kill mosquitoes

He just finds you amazing

Kiibo will do anything if you ask with those puppy eyes and mentions how tall he is

He gets really nervous when you ask him to carry you on his shoulders, ‘cause he’s afraid he’ll drop you

But then he just can’t stop smiling at how you keep excitedly telling him how tall you are

So he loves carrying you around and making you feel taller

You made him the happiest robot when you sweetly asked him to lean down just to kiss him when he did so

Kiibo argues with anyone who makes fun of your heigh

Kokichi Oma

You being short is a big deal here

He never says it, but you know he’s kinda insecure about his height

People not believing he’s a supreme leader and not taking his advices seriously cause he’s short, it all stresses him

So yeah, he really likes the fact that you’re short as well

And he’s constantly bothering you because of it

He likes to enter your room while you’re off and hide things you like the most (like your favorite shoes) in the higher shelves

Just so you have to climb over chairs and boxes to grab them

No, he doesn’t do it because he has a great view of your butt while you’re up there searching

If you ever do the same with him, he will reply with “come on, (Y/N), grow up! I told you it wasn’t me!” and run off before you can hit him

He absolutely adores your hugs, since he can rest his cheek on your shoulder and you can do the same on his (the supreme hug)

And he loves how he can just pass one arm around your waist and keep his other hand in the back of your neck and take his time while kissing you

He actually encourages you to wear high heels sometimes

And when you do he always asks “so how is the view?”

But he also goes like “aww, my little (Y/N) finally grew up!”

It’s good to see you from other angles from time to time, but he never admits he likes it

Kokichi could totally get used to when you’re taller than him, with your arms around his shoulders, and slowly leaning down to kiss him

  Bonus if you two are kissing and you get out of your heels, it makes his heart flutter (and he blushes a little too)

Kokichi will make anyone’s life a living hell if they dare to make fun of your stature

Rantaro Amami

Rantaro loves everything about you

And that includes your height

He loves hugging you and resting his chin on the top of your head, calmly rubbing your back

He will try leaving important stuff at the lower shelves

And will always be there if you need help to reach anything

Sometimes you mess with him and keep asking him to grab things you actually don’t need just to watch him

And when he notices what you’re doing you’re so screwed

He tickles you until you ask for mercy (and since he’s way taller than you there’s no escape)

He loves your laugh and loves tickling you, but he knows the limits

Rantaro likes to hug you close by the waist and kiss you passionately, your back slowly arching as he leans in

He also likes it when you quietly approach him from behind and leave kisses all over his shoulders and back

Especially if you’re doing it to catch his attention so you can properly kiss him

Wear his shirts, just do it, he’ll blush so cutely

Rantaro will never forgive anyone who insults you about your height

Ryoma Hoshi

Even though you consider yourself short, Ryoma is shorter

And he’s okay with it

He likes how there isn’t that much height difference between you two though

Ryoma tries to act cool and let you be, but he’s always there when you need help

His house has shorter wardrobes and shelves and he already said you can stop by whenever you want or need

Ryoma will blush a lot when you pretend to whisper something in his ear and kiss his cheek

(And even more when you take advantage of his embarrassment to kiss his lips)

He’s afraid he will hurt you so he tends to keep some distance from time to time

But when you two are close again he’ll tenderly hold your hand and won’t let go for a long time

Ryoma kisses you slowly and with so much love you almost can’t take it

He’s ready to kill anyone who makes you feel bad about your height

Shuichi Saihara

This boy is so soft for you

He keeps staring lovingly at you even when you’re just existing

Shuichi never mentions your stature or make jokes about it

But he does like it when you ask him for help

He feels so useful and he’s just glad he can do something for you

Shuichi usually kisses your knuckles and forehead, too afraid to go for your lips

So you have to hold his sleeve to make him lean a little and stand on tiptoes to kiss him

And once you do, Shuichi won’t let go for quite some time

He will blush madly and giggle if you ever wear his hat

Or his shirt and coat

He just loves when you’re wearing his clothes

Just like Kiibo, he will do almost anything if you ask with puppy eyes

Shuichi doesn’t like to see you wearing uncomfortable high heels just to get a little bit taller

But if you really like them, he’ll get used to it and sometimes buy a pair

His favorite view of you is when you’re in front of him with your arms open wide, asking cutely for a hug

Shuichi won’t let anyone talk about your height in his presence

PS.: Requests are open, guys!

I also like playing the law version which is made for super big groups - There’s police involved, and they choose the mafia. The person accused can hire lawyers who defend them. The police have to present their reasoning, and the lawyers have to figure out how to prove them wrong. God it’s basically Danganronpa isn’t it.

3. Is it acceptable or unacceptable to smack a child as form of discipline? Now this is controversial, and understandably so.  I personally would never hit my child and yell at them. But for other people, if it’s a light smack, like a pat, I guess it’s alright. But otherwise nothing harder than that.
