💭🥦🏆?

💭What is your favorite yttd AU idea?

I like the idea of a protag, mentor & antag swap (Sara -> Joe, Keiji -> Megumi, Shin -> Sou). So let's say, Megumi kills Keiji during their First Trial, then tries to befriend Joe after Sara's death in the first Main Game. Sou knows all of Megumi's secrets, of course, and blackmails her in order to keep himself from being voted out. Eventually, the truth about Joe's father and Keiji comes out, forcing Megumi into a corner. She can either come clean and try to redeem herself or make the last ditch attempt at surviving together with Sou.

🥦What name did you give Midori? Or did you keep it the same?

I think I might have named him "Shin's crazy ex" in one of the routes, while in the other I left him as Midori.

🏆Who do you think the ultimate survivors will be?

I think there might be a way for (almost) everyone to survive, if the team makes it to Shinobu Gokujo's hideout. But if we assume that the Main Game happens in both routes, Sara & Shin are likely to win in the Logic Route, while Gin & Kanna will probaby make it out in the Emotion Route.

Thank you so much for asking!

daisy (what inspired you to make your oc) and orchid (whats their biggest fear) for wren!! :)

What inspired you to make your oc:

Oh, so funny story. Together in Hell was originally a YTTD au, and back when I was originally setting it up (november of 2020), I wanted to make a sort of stand-in for Joe, but if Joe were way more emo. That's it. That's where Wren's character came from. He was the protag's best friend who died for emotional value and liked the concept of graveyards. Wren's character has clearly super evolved from then, but that's his uninspired start.

What's their biggest fear:

I think I've touched on this before, but Wren deeply fears never knowing what he wants and who he is. Most of his actions in-game (especially the more... drastic ones...) are inspired by him desperately trying to understand who he wants to be, especially in relation to others around him.

omg hi here are some sketches/notes about a yttd role swap au im making

it doesnt have an official name yet so i will just tag it as crash’s yttd role swap au

(this is what the ryoko sprite and shadow joe were for :)))

also ignore how these are on almost destroyed scraps of paper

[pastel-rights]

Various doodles I never posted in which 4/5ths of them are genshin related 4/5ths of them are also doodles

I have a Childe doodle somewhere as well… just don’t know where 🤷🏻‍♀️

[luniise-kel]

I finished playing YTTD this weekend and would love to hear any of your Headcannons / ideas for this AU! :)

thanks for the ask ^^

ooooh boy i do have a few however it has been like almost year since i played the game (never finished tho TT) so forgive any mistakes i make, i am replaying tho so maybe ill drop another list of hc once i finish ^^

also this au is not a 1:1 ratio, its like vaguely that but also not

oki for starters akiren is the protag, he’s the one being stalked and while hanging out with ryuji gets kidnapped :(

same green key puzzle etc etc

Akiren had his cat mona with him but when he wakes up he realizes the kidnappers took his cat

Futaba is Kanna in this au :3

Sojiro fills the role of Kanna’s sister……so um dead…..rip

Futaba has ✧･ﾟ: *✧･ﾟ:*trauma✧･ﾟ: *✧･ﾟ:*

Kamoshida is here and appeared with Ann

Everyone is like Wow sir. you sure are a Mega Creep

Akechi Goro is still an ace detective! A celebrity! and still works under Shido

Shido is also here

Akechi and Shido appeared together and Akechi is trying to not so subtly kill him

during the Russian roulette game in the blue room Akechi is trying to convince everyone that he is Very Good at a gun and No He Does Not Want To Kill Anyone

ofc everyone is like “um look mr. celebrity you tweet about pancakes all day lets let DIFFERENT HIGH SCHOOLER SHOOT ^^”

jk Iwai is there and vouchs that he taught Akiren how to shoot very realistic but fake guns and hes Decent at it

Anyways Akechi is Mega Pissed that he didnt get to “”accidentally���” shoot Shido

during the practice trial (i forgot the name rip. the one in the pink room) akechi tries to convince akiren to vote for Shido and while Shido gets two votes ultimately almost everyone votes for Kamoshida

Akechi watching Kamoshida die: that could have been Shido

Ann watching Kamoshida die: im not sad but i am traumaized

Anyways Ryuji is the replacement for Joe! isnt that great :)

idk who Akechi would be but Futaba def gets manipulated by someone

idk where Yusuke would fit so for now hes just there

everyone, freaking out, becoming traumatized:

Yusuke: holy shit i wonder how this experience can help me find motivation to create ART

during the first trial Akechi is fighting for his life, everyone is like dude u mega sus

During the first trial Ryuji unfortunately leaves with 1.5 gallons less blood (dead rip)

Akiren is also ✧･ﾟ: *✧･ﾟ:*traumatized✧･ﾟ: *✧･ﾟ:*

Akiren crying in the bedroom bc hes misses his bestie:

Akechi trying to comfort his crush new friend: my mother died of suicide

Akiren, still bawling his eyes out: cowabummer

anyways thats all of my current headcannons / ideas for this au bc thats also where i stopped playing in my og playthru lol

[sleeepyqueeen]

yttd sacrifice au

a yttd au where everything is the same but joe lives but sara dies. typical right? sara fails the first trial or gets the sacrifice card? NOPE LOL! joe is STILL the sacrifice in the first main game and he was STILL supposed to die by the wrigglers. 

 how this started is joe waiting to die for the executions but sara starts begging to miley to let joe live. miley suprisingly listens to sara and lets joe live, even when he was already stabbed by the wrigglers, and ends up killing sara instead.  that then means  joe becomes the new protag for the next following chapters and still struggles with hallucinations of sara.

   now theres alot of questions like: why is it called the sacrifice au? does this change events/deaths past ch1? why did miley do this? what happens to joe if hes still alive with no percentage? how is joe as a protag now? can there still be an emotional and logical route? ect.

   most will be answered soon once i can draw/write more for the au. as for the others i cant answer, im still working on it. i havent thought much of events past ch2 part 1 in the au. 

sorry if this is sloppy or messy. its hard for me to write more complicating stuff like this without it taking hours. this was just to get my thoughts into paper and i hope i can share more about this au, it means a lot to me ^^

[terminallyspookystudenteagle]

Protag!Joe's not the only one to know suffering...

[burnt-toast-life]

Just wanted to ask, in your yttd roleswap au, who would be the protag, if there is one? Also, do you have an idea for which dummy gets paired with which participant?

Oooh, thanks for asking!!!

The protag in this au is going to be Ryoko, since she’s a friend of Sara (and Joe), the original protag, and I think writing her character/giving her a personality could be super fun!!

As for pairings.. hmm, I have a few ideas, but ill need to get the timeline of everyone who dies settled first before I make that list!

[sillyguyhotline]

About that one dr ask where u went off about kaede s vs joe s death impacting the protag, i also wanna add a lil thing. Kaede s death was the usual 'female character (/protag) dies to advance male protag s character development' thing while in yttd the roles weren t just reversed, they were actually... written... good lmaoo it s literally the complete opposite not only in concept but in execution too.

THIS!! this so fucking much. it’s why i always think that aus in which sara dies at some point and joe becomes the protag, while cute, are just... uncomfortably overdone. 

i’m very, VERY tired of how much potential kaede had to be a genuinely interesting protagonist and how kodaka actually got close to making a dynamic female character while still letting her retain her more feminine traits... before taking that away. she was chipper, charismatic, and outgoing, but she was also very intelligent and capable of leading the group. her positive traits then led almost perfectly into her flaws, which weren’t shallow ones either: she wasn’t a character who was “too good,” she was a character who was incredibly driven by her goals and was willing to forsake her morals and commit murder if it meant getting everyone else out alive. this would have been such an interesting concept to explore if it was more fleshed out over the course of the story, and it would’ve made her a really good protag!! but, no, kodaka had to kill her off so that he could develop shuichi more!! and then to add insult to injury, he threw on the twist that NO, she didn’t actually kill anyone, she was sweet and innocent the whole time and we just framed her for murder to keep the game going. like, for fuck’s sake, if you’re going to kill your protag off for the sake of development, why would you cheapen the development that she and shuichi both got?? it’s so poorly done.

 joe’s death actually made sense in the context of the story; he let suspicion be cast upon his morals, but his death ultimately clarified him as a good character. sara actually went through a good character arc as a result of joe’s death, and as of 3-1a it still plays a crucial role in her development and perception of herself as a person and leader. i’d also like to quickly point out that joe’s death ALSO subverts the “best friend dies first” trope. he wasn’t simply the first person to die for the sake of development and nothing else, he got time to develop and his death was a meaningful conclusion to his brief character arc. it actually worked in the story, it actually meant something, and it gave us (im really just speaking from my “spent 2 hours straight crying over his death” perspective) a lot more reason to feel emotional over his death. it’s one of the key differences between danganronpa and yttd that i emphasize way too much: a lot of character-based twists or deaths in danganronpa are written for the sake of shock value, but almost all of yttd’s twists and deaths have meaning. there was no reason to kill kaede other than to further shuichi’s development, but there were numerous reasons to kill joe. 

(i’m so sorry for turning every single one of these into an excessively long rant fhsbfhd)
