FACTS
Friendly reminder that just because some fans ship a blackened character with their victim (or attempted blackened and their victim) does NOT *automatically* make it toxic or wrong. Most of these fans ship them because of their potential together in an AU where such crimes never happen.
I realized I never paid respect to @thewildwilds Mie Kuzuryu
I was talking the other day how there's a lot of posts in the 2020 where people were very hostile to Kuzupeko shippers. Then I feel like thewildwilds kinda saved their reputation in the west with all their work. Then when they left in Feb 2022, I came in March 2022 to reap the benefits.
(I know these dates bc this was when I posted my animated ch2 and it's just funny how close they left and I came.)
yes my otp of all my otp
DRS Hype Cards (Tenmiko Edition)
it’s here 😳👍
FACT: the very first dubganronpa was created nearly 3 years ago, and this is a throwback to the original "plot" of it where junko just kinda hated gay people. it was shared privately and is SUPER janky so yall wouldnt know that if i didnt tell u. IT ALSO EXPLAINS THE HOMOPHOBIA I GUESS
moral of the story: the plot was lost before it even began.
there WILL be a behind the scenes/outtakes video of this since there was SO MUCH that got cut out
I've always enjoyed this prompt, and decided to put my own spin on it :3
Warnings: Spoilers for Danganronpa: Trigger Happy Havoc
You stood in silence as you rode the elevator back to the first floor.
Nobody was doing or saying anything, and the tension is strong.
You knew Aoi was upset about Sakura's death, and she had every right to be. After all, they were best friends, and whenever Aoi wasn't with you, she was with her.
You tried to comfort her and had offered your support, but she insisted to be fine with a clearly forced smile.
You finally understood why she was acting so strange, since she messed with the crime scene to throw suspicion everywhere during the class trial, and get you all to cast the wrong votes, all because she wanted everyone to pay for "killing" Sakura.
You couldn't help but feel hurt. You never had any issues with Sakura, even after she was revealed as the traitor. And yet Aoi didn't think twice to try to execute you along with the others.
You weren't just hurt, you felt betrayed. Even though she apologized to everyone, it still didn't feel right.
You made it to the dorms, and you turned to look at Hina. She looked at you guiltily and slowly walked over to you and hugged you.
You wanted to enjoy the affection as you always did, but knowing what she did, it felt empty. You placed your hands on her shoulders and gently pulled her off of you before entering your dorm and closing the door.
You didn't sleep that night. There was too much on your mind and you stayed awake for long, miserable hours. It didn't help that Aoi wasn't there, cuddled up to your chest like normal.
The next morning, you saw Makoto in the hallway before heading to the dining hall. He gave you a sympathetic look and approached you.
"Hey. Are you okay?" He asked. You nodded.
"I will be." He nodded in understanding and pulled you into a hug to comfort you. You two had always been close, almost like Aoi and Sakura were. He gave you a boost of hope every time you talked, and it always made you feel so much better about the situation.
After you pulled away, you walked together to the dining hall. You saw Hina sitting at one of the tables, and she gave you a bright smile. You ignored it and sat at a different table with Makoto. You looked down at the table and Makoto gently pat your back.
Like always, you made plans to investigate the fifth floor, and after everyone left, Makoto offered to investigate with you, but you kindly refused, saying that you needed some time alone. And with that, you all went your separate ways and investigated the fifth floor.
In the hallways, you ran into Kyoko.
"Hello, (Name)." She greeted.
"Hey," you responded half-heartedly.
"Why don't we take a walk? There are some interesting spots on this floor, and I'm sure you wouldn't want to miss out."
You wanted to refuse, but at this point, you were just going along with whatever. So you joined her as you investigated. Kyoko seemed unusually chatty, asking questions and talking to you about what she's found. Instead of having to work for it, she was making conversation for you. It seemed like she wanted to take your mind off of things, and it kind of worked.
At some point, she stopped in the hallway and turned to look at you.
"I know you're still thinking about the trial. About what Hina did."
"How could I not? She tried to kill me," you muttered bitterly.
"You have a right to be upset. Hina had a lapse in judgement, and she acted without thinking. But avoiding her isn't going to fix it. All it's doing is hurting you."
"Yeah, but how am I supposed to even talk to her after what she did? I can hardly even look her in the eyes without feeling hurt."
Kyoko thought for a moment before looking back to you.
"Do you still want things to work out between the two of you?"
"Well, yeah. Of course I do. I love her. It's just that-"
"Then that should be all you need. I can see that Hina wants to make things work as well. But it's not going to work if you don't try."
You looked away. You knew that she was right. Nothing would get solved if you didn't talk to Aoi. But something in you made you hesitate. Kyoko seemed to sense how you were feeling and looked at you.
"I know it's hard. But if you truly love her, you should talk to her. By the end of it, you can decide if you want to make things work or not. I know you can do it."
She gives you an encouraging smile before leaving the hallway. You thought over what she said. It's true, you really did love Aoi. And you did want to make it work.
With that in mind, you decided to talk to her.
30 minutes before nighttime, you heard a knock on your door. You opened it, and Aoi was standing on the other side, holding a box of donuts. She avoided your gaze, and shifted her weight onto one foot anxiously.
"Hi. Um... Can I come in?"
You silently moved to the side and allowed her to enter. She placed the donuts on the table and sat down on the bed.
"Thanks for inviting me over. I hated not talking to you."
"Yeah. Do you think you can talk first? I can't find the words yet." You asked, and her expression turned guilty.
"I'm really sorry for what I did at the class trial. I was just upset, and grieving, and... I just wasn't thinking." You spun around to look at her.
"Exactly. You weren't thinking. You didn't think about what would happen to me, or any of our friends. I didn't have any problems with Sakura, you know. Makoto didn't, Kyoko didn't. But just because Byakuya and Toko said some nasty things about her, you allowed that to guide your decision. Do you even care about us at all? About me?"
The words began pouring out as your voice was right below shouting. Now the anger you felt was shining through.
"Of course I do! I was just being dumb and letting my emotions guide me, and..."
She let out a soft sigh of resignation.
"...You're right. I wasn't thinking about you, or our friends. I was just so mad at them that I wanted to punish them. And myself, for not noticing what she was going through. But she's dead, and the trial is over. There's nothing I can do to change those things."
You felt your features soften as you looked at her. You couldn't help but feel bad for her. Perhaps you hadn't checked on her enough, and maybe if you did, she wouldn't have acted out. Maybe this was your fault too.
But she continued, causing you to snap out of her thoughts.
"But I really am sorry for what I did. I don't have an excuse. I was just really upset. You have every right to be mad at me, but I hope that you don't-"
You cut her off by hugging her, causing her to stiffen up in surprise.
"It's alright. I'm sorry too. Maybe if I checked in on you more instead of just focusing on the investigation, I would've understood your feelings, and you wouldn't have done it. I promise I'll be more attentive in the future."
"So... You don't hate me then?" She asked, and you pulled away to hold her face in your hands.
"Of course not. I could never."
You leaned in and planted a soft kiss on her lips, and she placed her hands on your shoulders and closed her eyes. This was the closest you've been since the trial, and you could feel how much you missed each other.
After you pulled away, you smiled at each other, and Aoi leaned against you as you held her close. Then, you shared some of her donuts before going to sleep.
Kyoko was right. You did make it work.
one of my favorites hcs/aus ever is that maki's ~doomed childhood girl best friend~ is actually miu. please just imagine it. the realization. the fall out. maki’s despair and miu’s obviousness to it, assuming that ‘the crazy assassin bitch’ is glaring at her because SHE'S PLANNING TO KILL HER!!! FUCK!!! yet another instance of the so-saught-after truth being indigestible??
here's my evidence (CF=childhood friend):
the basics: a girl the same age as maki, no mentioned bio parents
CF and Maki baked sweets and shared them with each other -> Miu bakes for someone she likes (Shuichi) in her FTEs
CF is described by Maki as more talented than her, but sensitive with a kind heart -> Miu is an engineering genius (though she says she used to be talentless) and very sensitive. kind wouldn't be the word i'd use to describe her, but she does have kind heart deep inside (shown mainly to kiibo and monotaro, and she shows sympathy to ouma...while trying to kill him) and wants to be loved without being left behind
CF and Maki used to play house, with CF as the mom and Maki as the dad -> Miu is maternal and really wants to be a mother (seen with Monotaro)
CF died in a car accident -> when she was younger, miu GOT INTO A CAR ACCIDENT AND NEARLY DIED BUT WAS ACTUALLY IN A COMA, after which it's possible she also had a shift in personality since that's when she gained “talent” and a bunch of "new inventive ideas"
That is obviously saiouma and saimota
tenmiko if the roles was reversed
Let me guess… you’ll never forgive me. Tenko, you must hate me so very much…
yes my one of my favorite ships ( other yamaceles and shriomada) for hifumi aka the most underrated character in trigger happy havoc
New & improved collage!
another silly danganronpa vid ✨😳
