#you'll do gr8 i believe in you

[rottenpumpkin13]

seeing as I've just flunked my driving test, how do all the gang do at different driving?

Choose Your Fighter - Driver's Edition

• Angeal, the anxiety prime™ driver - Naturally the most responsible driver of the group, so much so that it comes off as paranoia. He feels the most comfortable driving in country roads and places with very little traffic and pedestrians. To drive in the city he needs complete silence and no distractions while he goes painfully below the speed limit. Seriously the man drives like a snail.

• Zack, the "What do you mean I get distracted easily!? Ooh! A squirrel!" driver - Is a pretty decent driver BUT gets distracted by any and everything. He has a nasty habit of turning around to chat with whoevers in the backseat, causing said person to have a heart attack and scream "EYES ON THE ROAD!" He also loves listening to loud music in the car, doubling the distractions. Zack also enjoys doing "cool tricks" on the road to impress people. He gets a lot of tickets.

• Cloud, the "motorbikes, cars, what's the difference?" driver - When he does drive a car he still maneuvers it like a bike, in which he'll stubbornly fit it through tight spaces and cut through traffic to save time. He's still responsible though, just a tad reckless.

• Genesis, the got his license revoked but still drives because "NO ONE CAN STOP ME!" driver - Road rage 101. He's the guy who will roll down his window to scream at other people, give them the finger, and has even gotten out of the car to fight another driver. He insists the traffic laws are BS and that his methods are the correct way to drive. He lost his license after acquiring too many speeding tickets, all of which he claims we're wrong because "I wasn't speeding! Everyone else was just going too slow!" He will also turn his music up to maximum volume, annoying the surrounding vehicles. And of course he's also gotten in a chase with the Midgar PD because he thought he could outrun them. He could not. He threw the car into a ditch.

• Sephiroth, the "Why are you all screaming?" driver - Sephiroth got his license later than most due to the war taking up his youth. He learned to drive during the war, and has since kept the tactical driving knowledge he attained and applies it to driving in the city. Driving with him is like Mario Kart. He will make the most outlandish maneuvers and cuts thorough traffic all in the name of "proficiency." He's very calm and collected, abides by the laws and still manages to pull shit like avoiding obstacles at the very last second.

🔥 Despaircest (can't be unpopular as in "fandom hates it even though it's gr8"; we need to go weirder and deeper)

If those two fucking idiots ever had an actually honest and heartfelt conversation, things would have gone extremely differently because they actually did feel the same about each other.

The Despaircest plot is told out of order. 1-6's trial has Makoto's hope include the caveat of "we don't even know if Junko is lying!" Yes, he also goes "and if she isn't, we've got this", but that's just half of it and the other half is "nuh uh!" And here's the thing: SDR2 came out years later after DR1 was successful. DR1 never tells us if Junko was lying or not. So, view it with that in mind. DR1 leaves the question to us: was she full of shit?

Two years later, we get the answer. In 2-6. A whole game later, we find out the answer was "no, Junko was not lying". And that modifies the viewing of 1-6. Because now, you have to view 1-6 as "Junko is telling the truth here, she isn't lying to manipulate anyone, she's just being honest". When Junko says she loves her classmates? That's true. When Junko says the world ended? That's true. When Junko says Mukuro is just like her and loves despair the same way as her... wait, what?

Oh, but you're given a decoder ring. Beating SDR2 unlocks Danganronpa IF, where we find out that that is not at all true. But... if Junko isn't lying, but that isn't true, there's only one possible explanation. Junko's wrong. Now, how does that line up with IF? Perfectly.

In IF, Mukuro survives the murder because Makoto's memories start to come back and he warns her to dodge using her real name, so she does it on instinct, so she doesn't die, but he does get hurt trying to save her. Which leads to Mukuro turning on Junko. But importantly, there's the breakup.

"Say, sis?" "Oh! Junko, it's you!" Ikusaba's eyes brightened at the first sight of her sister in days, but they would soon go dim. "You know, I was always thankful to you, sis. I mean it." It was because Junko's voice, coming from the speakers, was terribly soft and gentle. "...Junko?" "I'm really sorry. I was being too harsh with you. I even tried to kill you just now, and I was about to make you do something horrible. Even though I know how you feel about Naegi." "I-I don't..." "Don't force yourself. You might not realize it, but it was really obvious. You never cared about those class pictures, but you looked at the camera properly that one time Naegi took the photo." From just the image on the monitor, the Super High School Level Despair looked like a girl with a sweet, innocent smile teasing her older sister. But that was exactly why Ikusaba was slowly falling towards despairing fear. "I always thought you should've put your all into it when you were in a picture with Naegi, but I guess that's all part of your disappointing self, sis." "But you know, you might be lackluster and disappointing, but I love that about you too." Ikusaba trembled. "I love you. How long had she wanted to hear these words from Junko? Ikusaba believed that, no matter what Junko said, she actually loved her very much. Ikusaba believed that she alone could understand the despair known as Junko Enoshima. It was a ludicrous notion. The moment Junko said, 'I love you', Ikusaba realized--to her agony--that she never truly understood her sister. Only now had she come to realize Junko's feelings. Junko was being kind. There was no lie in her gentle words. Perhaps she was being entirely truthful about loving her sister as well. This was precisely why this signalled the destruction of their relationship. Ikusaba realized that Junko was cutting ties with her. And before Ikusaba could say a word in reply, the girl on the monitor left her with a word of cruelty. "I know you'll make your dreams come true someday."

Do you get it? Junko really, truly loves Mukuro just as much as Mukuro loves her. And they never understood each other, but they both completely believed they did. Combine this with Junko in 1-6 talking about Mukuro and you have Junko's belief before the truth is revealed to her and Junko after the truth is revealed to her.

So, what was killing Mukuro? Trying to say "I love you" and make Mukuro's dreams come true without understanding Mukuro's love language or Mukuro's dreams. Consider how Junko describes how Mukuro "must have" felt. Why would she deny herself that despair? Simple: so Mukuro could have it, believing Mukuro wanted it just as much as she did. Her act of love in DR1 was self-sacrifice to give the greatest gift she could imagine to someone who she never realized didn't want it.

And what does Junko do when she does realize it? She breaks her entire sense of self and personality just to express her love to Mukuro. She realizes Mukuro has hope and everything, and she encourages it and fosters it out of love for her. She loves Mukuro enough that, even knowing they will now be enemies, she will speak Mukuro's love language rather than her own to make Mukuro truly know how much she loves her. This scene and killing Mukuro have the same meaning, and you can only come to understand this by combining 1-6 and IF to get two contradictory perspectives in order to recognize the before-belief and the after-belief.

Junko fucking loves her so goddamn much, but Junko expresses her love in a very particular way. Despair. Remember what she said to Class 78? She loves them all. She wasn't lying about that either. It's so personalized, so direct, so cruel, because she loves them. She loves Mukuro most of all, so she granted Mukuro the most intense despair imaginable, even though it meant losing it for herself, even though that is literally her entire modus operandi. It's fucking self-sacrifice when she kills Mukuro.

The twist is that she never understood that Mukuro didn't want it. Junko can understand and learn anything, except the one thing staring her in the face. But because of her talent, she can't imagine that there's something so blatant right in front of her she's failing to understand. Mukuro meanwhile? Danganronpa Zero gives us this:

Then, looking at the face Ikusaba-san showed me, I was suddenly taken aback. The ever so emotionless face was, ecstatic and smiling. "I don‘t know if...she is attracting despair or despair is attracting her but...she has lived her whole life with despair by her side. She lived while immersed in despair. That‘s why she began looking for despair in others. She learned to enjoy pushing people into despair. But you know, that‘s normal. It‘s the same as someone being cursed by misfortune fall into hatred for those who aren‘t. But what‘s special about her was that, she learned to enjoy inflicting despair onto herself. That‘s how the link to despair began. As she chased down despair, she pushed it onto others on the way. Doing so, it caused her to desire falling into despair even more...and because of that chain to despair, the Super High School Level Despair was born." While she spoke, it was like she fell into a fever, the expressions on her face turned into ecstasy. It was so completely absurd that it would have been hard for anybody to think of it as anything but a joke, but I understood that this was real. It might‘ve been because the memories of Junko Enoshima inside me led to that conclusion. "Hey, you don‘t get it right? I don‘t think anybody could. But you know, only I can understand it..." Consumed by ecstasy, even Ikusaba-san‘s breaths began to become ragged. "Only I am able of understanding her. That‘s why she needs me. She still hasn‘t realized that but, maybe she is only pretending not to realize. Ufu, that‘s because she‘s so shy. Ufufufu." Seeing this intoxicated Ikusaba-san continue to talk like that, repelled me. I knew that she definitely didn‘t have normal feelings for Junko Enoshima, but that sort of thing shouldn‘t have anything to do with me.

They both have failed to understand each other. Danganronpa Zero came out before Danganronpa IF. So,

Ikusaba believed that she alone could understand the despair known as Junko Enoshima. It was a ludicrous notion.

Is a callback to

"Hey, you don‘t get it right? I don‘t think anybody could. But you know, only I can understand it..."

Both of them are having their preconceived notions about each other shattered at the same time in that scene in IF. Because both of them just assumed they understood each other. Because of course they did. They've been linked at the hip so long, they're symbiotic. Except, no, they didn't. Because they both assumed, rather than ever actually talking and getting on the same page. And note,

Seeing this intoxicated Ikusaba-san continue to talk like that, repelled me. I knew that she definitely didn‘t have normal feelings for Junko Enoshima, but that sort of thing shouldn‘t have anything to do with me.

It was incest in 2011. Before SDR2 and IF released. It was always incest. DR3 just was going "now shut the fuck up, we've visually confirmed it for you".

So yeah, Despaircest was mutual love of equal intensity ruined by them both being arrogant dipshits who failed to get on the same page because they wouldn't just have a goddamn conversation about it because they both assumed that they would gain nothing from it because they totally already understood each other so goddamn well. It was mutual, and Junko actually really did love Mukuro just as much as Mukuro loved Junko. It turned tragic from a lack of communication.

Can I request erwin x reader headcanons for his s/o who has trust issues and suffers from insecurity about herself becoz her ex boyfriend cheated on her. She is section commander and is gr8 in her work.

Erwin x Insecure reader headcanons

Cheating concerns and trust:

Firstly, Erwin doesn't have the time to cheat if you think he might cheat. Erwin is either always with you or working hard and if you are a section commander then he's working close with you. So, he doesn't have the time to cheat on you if you're worried he will. You and his work are his life.

Erwin is not the type to cheat. Erwin is incredibly loyal to the core. He will stick to a person and his job until the very end. If you are together, you are his everything and he will never look at another woman because you are his woman.

There's only you around him. The rest of the people around him are young cadets, underage cadets, and Hange. Hange is not interested in Erwin and Erwin isn't in them. So, you have nothing to worry about there. If you think it'll be some rich woman, it won't. Erwin does not like making deals with the rich to get money. He strongly believes in the scouts and wouldn't sell himself out.

If you still think he's a cheater or don't trust him, he will do everything he can to build up that trust and get you any help you need to build up the tools to calm your mind and trust your partner. If you need couples therapy, that's what you'll get because he wants it to work.

Insecurities about yourself:

The man is your personal cheerleader. He thinks you're an incredible section commander. He adores how smart and kind you are and what you do for others. He is proud of you.

Erwin will give you words of praise often and you can tell he means it because he doesn't give praise lightly.

Erwin will take you on sweet dates and compliment the way you look. Plus, he looks at you with such deep admiration and love in his eyes. You're everything to him.

Erwin will listen to you when you want to talk about your worries. Your worries are his worries and he'll sit with you and let you vent to him about everything. Erwin is very logical, so he'll help you work through your troubles until you feel better.

He'll tell you he loves you often and has all his meals with you. He has to have his meals with you and he wants to. He wants to spend time with you so he can talk to you and reassure you he is always there with you.

He's always with you and he can read you like an open book. So, when you're feeling bad around him, he'll pull you close and sit you on his lap and ask you to talk to him. He'll chat to you for as long as you need to and if you don't want to talk he'll hold you and give you kisses.
