Moved Into My New Place! If Anyone Wants To Help Me Get A Bit More Settled In I Have A Wishlist!

🦍 why is the gorrilla emoji sad

“(confession) this games fandom is fucking ass and the writings going downhill as well once the last parts come out I’m jumping this sinking ship just like i did with the garbage fire that was danganronpa and I’ll fuckin do it again”

Not to fandom on main but the major Your Turn To Die dichotomy isn’t actually between emotion and logic. It’s between social logic and pure, heartless calculation … and social logic wins every damn time.

A potent example is the second trial. It’s presented to you that the “logical” choice would be to vote for Kanna (saving Sou), and the “emotional” choice would be to vote for Sou (saving Kanna). But if you actually look at the situation, voting for Sou is the most dense thing Sarah can do in that moment, for a couple of reasons.

Firstly, Sou will very clearly not co-operate with you after killing Kanna no matter how theoretically resourceful and smart he may be. Sparing him does not actually benefit the group in an obvious way.

Secondly, the one thing Sarah has on her side is that people trust her to be a strong, fair leader. But Sarah no longer looks like a good leader after sentencing a small child to death. Now, she just looks like a calculated bitch, which she sorta is in that version of events. After all, everyone was laying into Q-taro when he looks like he’s putting his own life above Gin’s. They’re not going to be feeling good about Sarah sentencing Kanna to execution, whether they vocalize that or not.

In short, social capital is necessary to survive the Death Game (a concept made explicit through mechanics like the token trades, clout, and of course, the majority vote), and killing a child in order to spare an unhelpful harbinger of discord is obvious social suicide.

And this is why Sou could never win the Death Game in any of the AI trial runs; tech-smart he is, and calculated he may be, but he explicitly admits that he has no idea how to gain trust from other people. He lacks social logic! His tendency to wildcard his way through social situations (such as the First Trial) with alternating lies, threats, and niceties paints him as an unstable individual whom few will be inclined to trust with their life.

Well, minus Kanna, who is (again) a literal child in living a state of immense trauma.

Relatedly, this is also the reason why Mishima was the first to die! Mishima actually has good interpersonal skills, but his offputting demeanor instantly pings multiple people’s internal sense of social logic as “potential creep, do not engage” even though he’s actually a pretty decent man who just has something very wrong with his posture and hair. So alongside that stunt he pulled where he had Nao vote for him in the test vote, it was inevitable that someone was going to be giving him a hard enough side-eye to sling a vote his way.

This is also why Sarah repeatedly wins trial after trial in the AI tests. Sarah has a strong sense of social logic, and easily wins trust thanks to her general confidence and empathy.

In any case, I theorize that the game is essentially set up to find the most charismatic damn liar/leader out of the bunch to run the criminal underground shit; failing that, the game’s general set-up would otherwise at least ensure that the winner is the most ruthless motherfucker in the room.

So either way, you’re cultivating a born leader, or someone scary af.

im trying to figure out a new drawing setup… in the meantime……… botsun

day 1

my first creepypasta (pls read)

Guys something quirky, wacky and uncharacteristic happened to me last summer. Now I know you won't believe me but I'm gonna tell you anyway;

i was sleeping on my hyper realistic bed in my hyper realistic room at hyper realistic 3 am. Then, I heard a hyper realistic laugh and went to hyper realisticly check it little did I know it was the worst mistake of my hyper realistic life.

It was a hyper realistic killer with a hyper realistic knife. I was so scared that I started to run, hyper realisticly. Then I hyper realisticly grab the hyper realistic killer's hyper realistic knife and attack him back hyper realisticly. I killed the hyper realistic killer with his hyper realistic knife now I'm so scared because I killed a hyper realistic person so hyper realisticly.

Anyways I hope you liked my hyper realistic story of how I killed a hyper realistic killer.
