Arcade’s Only Sin Is The Sin Of Being Born And I Don’t Think Anyone Can Get It Right When They Write

Arcade’s only sin is the sin of being born and I don’t think anyone can get it right when they write him.

Can you imagine the hatred? The disgust? Do you think that when he passes by mirrors and catches his own reflection he thinks “Innocent people died so I could be born” or “I am named after an idea of paradise that would cause the slaughter of thousands”? Does he feel guilt, this man who had to privilege of not having to go hungry, of being able to grow and tower over regular wastelanders? Does he consider the fact he was born of years of love and hate? That he was bred to be a fervent nationalist? Does he miss Navarro and then realize with disgust that had it not been destroyed he would’ve become the very thing he fights tooth and nail against?

And he simplifies it. He dumbs it down in his head and tries to save himself the sheer horror that the people he misses so dearly, his father, his mother, would’ve probably wanted him to mercilessly kill the very people he treats. He says to the courier “They did bad things. Kidnapped people, terrorized settlements.” But is that really it? No. But the thought that his parents named him, this tall man who used to be a child (that, had fate not changed, would’ve grown to be a soldier or a scientist hellbent on “purifying the wasteland”), after a paradise that would’ve brought about the destruction of thousands of good people must be a bone-chilling notion.

People don’t write him with the guilt of knowing what he was born to do. And they don’t write him with the pride of knowing that he defied it and works to better the wasteland all around him, to fix his nation’s mistakes.

Hihi!! I loved your writing for the prompt where the monokuma makes s/o the target of the killing game. Can you perhaps use the same prompt but for the THH cast please? ♡

I sure can :3

This is my 666th post hehe >:3

Monokuma's Motive - THH Edition

It had been a good while since the last motives were handed out.

You did a good job of keeping the peace and preventing any killings, so you assumed Monokuma had given up.

Oh boy, were you wrong.

Monokuma's announcement rang out through the school, and it filled you with anxiety. You take a deep breath in and exit your dorm.

Your significant other meets you in the hallway, with the same anxiety on your face.

"Hey. You ready?"

You nod at them. "Yeah."

They take your hand and together, you make your way to the gym.

Monokuma sprang out from behind the podium.

"Hey, hey, hey! Guess who's got a surprise for all of you? A brand new motive, this time with a twist!"

Oh no.

"So, there haven't been any blackeneds in a while... And somehow, none of my motives have worked! Threats, bribes, nothin'! And it's all because of...!"

Monokuma gave you an angry glare, his forehead reddening. But he calmed down quickly, and resumed with your conversation. Nobody seemed to notice, except for you. And your significant other, as they gave you a look of concern.

"Point is, the new motive I have is different. This time, there's only one person you can kill. Any other kills don't count, and will send you right to the crapper!"

You noticed your classmates stiffening. So Monokuma had a target in mind. And it could have been anyone. You tighten your grip on your significant other's hand, and they do the same, waiting anxiously for Monokuma to reveal the target.

"From now on, the only person you can kill is (Name)!"

He called out, pointing at you.

All eyes were on you now.

Of course. You're the one who had been keeping the peace the whole time. You'd be lying if you said you didn't see it coming.

Makoto Naegi 

"What?! You can't do that!!"

"Sure can! Them's the rules!"

Because you had been keeping the peace, you had to go

But Makoto refused to allow it

He already lost Sayaka, so he'd be damned if he's losing you too

He keeps an eye on you whenever he can

Sleepovers every night, and follows you wherever you go

He is INCREDIBLY anxious, and you can see it, no matter how much he tries to hide it

He might need some comforting, and he'll comfort you too

He would never let anyone kill you

Byakuya Togami 

"What?! How dare you choose (Name)? You are absolutely despicable."

He is MAD

The second the meeting is over, he's grabbing your hand and dragging you to his room

He paces around the room ranting angrily while you sit on the bed, feeling anxious

Then he notices your demeanor and calms himself down

He'll sit beside you on the bed and hold your hand, and hug you if you want

He'll try not to be so angry around you if it makes you anxious

After that, he'll be SUPER overprotective

He'll snap at anyone who even goes near you

He's going with you anywhere you go

No more roaming around by yourself

If anyone's gonna kill you, it's gonna be Toko/Genocider

Overall, pretty pissed about the whole thing

He's hellbent on making sure you two survive the whole thing together

Chihiro Fujisaki 

"Wh-What? Why would you choose (Name)...? They didn't do anything wrong..."

Starts tearing up right then and there

When you go back to the dorms, he immediately latches onto you and starts bawling

Poor baby doesn't wanna lose you🥺

He'll probably end up crying himself to sleep

And starting next morning, this boi will never leave you alone

He'll hug your arm while you walk together

The anxiety is real with this one

He desperately wants to get stronger so he can protect you, so he considers working out with Mondo

Then he remembers that he doesn't want to leave you alone and changes his mind

But you're friends with Mondo, so he'll protect the both of you

Chihiro is v anxious, and he never wants to lose you

Leon Kuwata 

"That's bullshit! You can't just choose (Name) randomly!"

STUPIDSTUPIDSTUPID-

Oh it wasn't random

Monokuma did this on purpose

And Leon is not having it

He is PISSED

Like Byakuya, he'll be like this until he sees that you're anxious, then he'll stop to comfort you

After that, he is hella clingy and protective

He'll yell at anyone who gets too close

He may be angry, but at night, he'll break down in front of you

He tries to act strong for you, but he isn't fooling anyone

But he refuses to let anyone kill you

Kiyotaka Ishimaru 

"What?! (Name) is the target!? You can't do that, you... You bastard!"

When Taka swears, you know he's for real

This boy is out-of-this-world terrified

He tries to keep you in your room as much as he can, and he'll bring you food and stuff

Then he'll immediately come back to you

He doesn't want you to be out in the open, potentially getting killed

"(Name), I understand you're bored, but you must stay in this room! It-It's for your own good!"

If you persist, he'll reluctantly let you leave the dorm, but only if he can go with you

He doesn't want to believe you might be killed, but he still wants to spend every moment with you while he can

Mondo Owada 

"You fuckin' piece of shit! I'll kill you!"

You have to hold him back from breaking the bear in half

We don't want a repeat of when he almost got exploded

So you return to the dorms, and he's trying his best to hold in his anger

Then he lets out an angry sigh before sitting with you on the bed and sweeping you into his arms and holding you like a teddy bear

Part of it's to comfort you, another part is for him

After that, he's following you everywhere, acting like a pissed off bodyguard 

If anyone even looks at you, he's glaring at them while cracking his knuckles

He ain't never leaving you alone

He can't even trust Taka or Chihiro with you

Beneath his angry exterior, he's horrified of losing you like he did his brother

And he'll do whatever it takes to make sure you survive

Even if he has to stand in for you...

Yasuhiro Hagakure 

"What?! For serious?! Why would you pick (Name)?! That's terrible..."

He's freaking out

Then you go back to the dorms and he paces around, rambling about predicting this

Then he sees that you might be anxious and hugs you

He's determined to make sure nothing happens to you

So he follows you around, paranoid and anxious

He becomes very suspicious of the others, not trusting them to be anywhere near you

He knows that he's powerless to stop Monokuma, but he's still gonna protect you until the very end

Hifumi Yamada 

"WHAAAAAAT?!"

That's it

He's just stunned

And a little angry

He has no idea what he can do, but no way in hell is he gonna let you die

So like the others, he follows you around and refuses to leave you alone

If anyone tries to go near you, particularly Taka, he won't be happy

You're probably anxious to be in this kind of situation, so he draws wholesome and funny mangas in an attempt to lift your spirits

He's terrified, and might need some comforting

Kyoko Kirigiri 

"What? (Name)? Why would you choose them?"

For a second, you swore you saw her composure waver

But the moment passed quickly, and now she's glaring daggers at Monokuma

She knew exactly why he chose you

Like her, you were viewed as a threat, and Monokuma wanted to eliminate you

But like hell is she gonna let that happen

After that, she tightly grips your hand and pulls you back to the dorms

She just stiffly stands in front of the door, her back turned to you

But then you approach her, and she turns to you

You open your arms for a hug and she accepts it, gripping you like you'll disappear any minute

After that, she'll be with you at all times, with no exception

She tries to hide her terror, but one of these days, she might end up shedding a couple of tears

Make no mistake though

She'll be there for you like you are for her

And above all, she will protect you

You're the best thing to ever happen to her, and she refuses to let Monokuma take you away from her

Toko Fukawa/Genocide Jack

"Wh-Wh-What?! H-How d-dare you t-target them?!"

Gets fired up, then takes your hand and drags you off the second the meeting is over

The second you enter your room, Genocide Jack pops out

And oh boy, she is not happy

"What?! How dare that bitch ass bear target my master?!"

She looks angry, then a moment later, her energetic and sporadic demeanor completely drops

She's actually really scared

Then she leaps onto you, and begs you not to leave her

Starts shaking and panicking, and you'll have to calm her down

Then she falls asleep on you

Next morning, she switches back to Toko

She clings onto your arm all day, and sends pointed insults to anyone who rubs her the wrong way

She doesn't trust anyone

Especially not Byakuya

She doesn't even bother attending breakfast meetings

She just wants to stay in with you

And whenever Genocide Jack is out, ain't nobody wanna mess with her

They come up with a system; Genocide Jill stays with you outside the dorm room, Toko stays in

Cuddle sessions every night

Both of them are highly anxious and afraid of losing you, and they need some comforting

It's helpful to you as well

These two are terrified of you dying, but they're never gonna let it happen

Not if they can help it

Aoi Asahina 

"What?! You can't just pick (Name) out of nowhere!"

Oh it wasn't out of nowhere

Monokuma knows exactly why he picked you

Hina is so angry, she's crying

And when you return to the dorms, she leaps into your arms and breaks down

Poor swimmer girl is hella scared

After that, she'll hold your hand and refuse to leave your side

Being Hina's s/o means being friends with Sakura, and she'll protect the both of you

Hina can't help but feel anxious about it tho

She doesn't trust the others around you, and she'll give them a few words if they get too close to you

She's afraid of the future and what might happen, but she's not gonna let you die

Sayaka Maizono 

"What?! Why (Name)?! They don't deserve to die!"

She's way more scared than you are, honestly

Once you leave the gym, she leaps into your arms and starts crying

"P-Please... Don't leave me..."

Like she did with Makoto, but much more genuine

This situation really messes her up, actually

Sayaka feels that she may lose you at any moment

She doesn't trust anyone near you

If anyone killed you, she'd probably kill them

But she'll do whatever she must to make sure it doesn't get to that point

Celeste Ludenburg 

"What...? HOW FUCKING DARE YOU CHOOSE MY SIGNIFICANT OTHER AS A TARGET IN YOUR SICK LITTLE GAME?!"

Loses her composure right then and there

She doesn't show it, but she's terrified

But she's not gonna let nobody touch you

Given her exterior, most of the others know damn well not to mess with her

Especially Hifumi

And if anyone dares to get too close, Angry Celeste™️ will be unleashed unto their poor selves

Remember the teacup she broke in Chapter Two?

That might just be what happens to their limbs if they mess with you

Again, underneath all this, she's actually really scared

There may be some nights where she breaks down and just needs to know that you're there

Still, she's not letting anyone near you

Sakura Ogami 

"Bastard! How dare you paint a target on my significant other's back?!"

She wants to punch Monokuma's lights out SO badly, but she knows better

Instead, she just holds you close to her like a teddy bear in her dorm room

You can feel her fear in how tightly she holds you

You're also sure you feel her shake a tiny bit

Once you calm her down, she just wants to lay down and sleep, holding you close to her like you'll be gone the second she lets you go

And in the morning, she acts as your bodyguard

She'll threaten anyone who may be a threat to you

And when she can, she stays in her dorm with you, not wanting to take any risks

At some point, she considers taking her own life to pass by the motive

Then she realizes that Monokuma would probably execute you in her place, which quickly throws her idea out the window

She feels powerless, but she'll be damned if she's gonna let you die at the hands of anyone

Especially the mastermind 

Mukuro Ikusaba 

"What...?"

She's so shocked, her "Junko Enoshima" facade completely drops

You already knew her secret, and that's probably why Junko needed you gone

But no way is Mukuro allowing that

She starts panicking the second you enter her dorm, and then you calm her down and go to sleep together

The next morning, she goes to talk with her sister

Junko already knew everything

She didn't just want to remove you from the killing game because you knew too much, but to also give her sister despair

Words cannot describe the pure, boiling anger she's feeling

Her love for her sister turned to complete hatred

Now she knows where her loyalties lie

She doesn't tell you, but she has plans to kill her sister

She pretends that you mean nothing to her, as to not make Junko suspicious

But that night, while you slept, she headed off to Junko's hideout with a weapon hidden on her

Junko had gone too far, and now it's time for this to come to an end

I'm gonna go ahead and assume that you guys will want one for V3 as well😅Once requests are back open, be sure to remind me if you want it!

peeves me off a little when some people say "miu and kokichi could be such good friends, i wish they weren't so toxic in canon!"

.......but they are friends? not in the most obvious conventional way, but still. friends.

i mean, miu actually built his blueprints and vented to him before the events of chapter 4. not only that, but kokichi had faith in her skills as an inventor, genuinely listened to her vent (though he also may have realized she was planning to kill him at that time but y'know) and plays into her degrading kink (i say kink, because, well. it is. how are the words "finally someone called me a cum dumpster" supposed to be read as distress??) without really scaring her (note that being shouted at scares her, something he rarely does)

(also also. miu was heavily, heavily reluctant on killing him. and i doubt kokichi was feeling good about orchestrating her murder, too.)

they don't hate each other. they're just assholes who bond like assholes (who care about each other at least a little, but won't admit it)
