Phantom Thief Ouharu AU
People are sleeping on the sheer possibilities with this ship in any AU and canon, Just sayin'..
Also I didn't change Maki's outfit from canon cause nothing about her really changed, She's still like the same age and occupation in it so it's still perfect🤷♀️
Drew Maki Harukawa in the DDLC chibi style :3
That moment when I'm enjoying myself then remember Maki was the only person who survived to chapter five who gave two shits about Kiibo, Even when it didn't apply to her or the group as a whole
Working on an animatic and desperately need this shot of the student council to get some traction because it took four hours alone and it's on screen once for less than five seconds
Fun fact, Did you know Maki canonically looks up to Kiibo because she thinks he acts more human that she ever did
(Said in Chapter 3 during a training session with Shuichi)
So Kirukiyo and Shironaga are canon and idgaf what anyone says
I made Korekiyo a princess in Miitopia
Not the Princess NPC, But on my team as a princess, I think it works perfectly/hj
It can't just be me who remembered Rantaro wearing baggy shorts that went right below the knee instead of pants...Right?
Traumatized Girls club!!!/j
Just my favorite characters from my current special interests or what-have-you
Alternate images
Maki doesn't like coffee, She finds it too bitter
She prefers sweet things
Shuichi and Maki have canonically read the (Christian) Bible and might be some of the only characters to in V3
Little fun fact
In the Manga—Kaito, Angie, And Kokichi can all be seen with instruments made by Miu
Kaito has a guitar without enough strings to play it, Angie has maracas, Kokichi had a tambourine and microphone
And Ryoma gets handed it briefly but doesn't actually sing
It was like my favorite part of the Manga so I wanted to share that
He'd She'd be powerless without the other Vees!
Kaito is so fucking tragic and I hate how people completely ignore he's more than just a support to Shuichi
Like Kaito's problems are never brought to the surface but in like very few short instances which make it worse because the fact his problem is hiding his feelings from people to make them all feel like he's the perfect person to look up to
He's scared of being vulnerable with people because he thinks that will lessen their view on him(Exactly why he hides his illness), The need he feels to pick everyone up and always give them someone perfect to look up to, His implied internalized homophobia(The way I read it at least)
LIKE GIVE THIS MAN A BREAK💔💔💔
Did you know I made Spotify playlists for every character in V3(Ryoma and Gonta are still wips) that are actually in character and are all at least two hours?
Well you do now

Can people please fucking comprehend the fact Maki didn't hate Kokichi till he killed two people and Kokichi learned to separate her from her talent because I'm over here sounding like a broken record and it's so annoying
K thx
Who are the best Danganronpa protagonists and why are they Kiibo and Maki
I feel like Kaemaki(Kaede x Maki) wouldn't work and would be toxic no matter what AU it was in(At least in ones where Maki is still an assassin/they keep their personalities) And all you need to look at to prove that is canon, Maki has a strong dislikeness for Kaede. Which says a lot on it's own given that she has no strong opinions on anyone that early in the game, But Kaede is the only one that Maki cannot stand. Maki doesn't like her brand of optimism, She finds it annoying how Kaede refuses to acknowledge anything bad that's happening and just continues to push the narrative that everything is completely fine when too much is going on to try and get people's mind off of it Maki spends all of chapter one just being an asshole to her more than she is with the usual person because she doesn't like Kaede at all Now, Looking at Kaede's perspective, She died early and wanted everyone to like her, Which in her way; Meant actively ignoring boundaries to basically force everyone to be compatible with her(She does this a lot, And more primarily with Maki) Now, Yes, Kaede died before Maki's talent was revealed. But it's honestly ridiculous to think she would react any less than Miu had(Miu had been the one actively trying to convince the group to kill Maki) If Kaede found out she was an assassin, Kaede would very quickly have the same mindset as everyone(But Kaito), Which was to kill her before she could strike first Kaede would refuse to be in the same room as her, She'd even ignore anyone who told her Maki wasn't here to hurt anyone Kaede would hate Maki if she knew she was an assassin, And wouldn't bother to get close to her She'd most likely push others away from her because of her talent Kaede would be the same no matter what AU, No matter what relationship they had before it, As soon as she finds out; She'd cut all ties with Maki because of it It's just how her personality is
Any reblogs or comments saying I'm wrong will be ignored, Don't waste your time
Maki and her malewife
Fun fact: Maki can't cook She directly says she doesn't know how to cook given that a chef would prepare every meal for the kids at the orphanage so Maki has never even touched a knife outside of her job Also Kiibo is actually a great cook despite not being able to taste the food
Unfriendly reminder that both these shots are from when Maki is around ten or eleven
I love them
Honestly, The first time I saw Rosie and Alastor interact, It immediately reminded me of them(Which prompted this)
The trope of a character(Usually Kokichi or Shuichi) "taking down" the Holy Salivation Society and "saving" Maki from it, Is wishful thinking, But canonically impossible Maki has directly said that even if the HHS disbands, She'd just get lofted into another assassin agency. And if she ran away she'd most definitely be killed, And even if she could live after escaping, Maki wouldn't try. Maki's whole reason for being an assassin is to make sure no kid at the orphanage has to replace her and go through the gruesome training she had to Like, I wish Maki didn't have to deal with this shit as much as the next but it's quite literally impossible unless you change her whole backstory to have her never become one in the first place
Himiko has a horrible vanity problem and a lot of people tend to ignore it, And I find it rather funny She boasts about her magic constantly and how she's better than everyone, And tries to take credit for good things other people did on multiple occasions. (Like when Gonta lifted up the grate in the courtyard, She insisted he was that strong because of her magic) It's kinda funny to see her waltz around like she's all that and around when she kinda does almost nothing for anyone, And I find it rather hilarious
It's up,
I Don't Believe in Ghosts by NoGirls_TOY
Been pondering an AU where because of Maki's connection to death and dying(Her talent) she can see the ghosts of the V3 cast sticking around the school and just doesn't tell anyone(Cause why would she?)
Eventually few of the ghosts catch on that she has (not obvious) reactions to stuff they say and do, Chaos insues.
I've recently been replaying V3 and writing down like every line of diolouge that I see through an important lens(Because I have an unhealthy obsession with this goddamn game and I know like everything about it)
And it really bothers me how like every line of diolouge outside of trials or just any line that isn't fully voiced gets forgotten, Because it leads to so many relationships between the characters being overlooked or mischaracterized to hell and back
The biggest example is Maki and Kokichi's dynamic
Everyone in the fandom says they hate each other without even bothering to listen to each other. That Maki would try to kill him the second he steps into her line of sight. That Maki was always looking for an excuse to kill him
When it's so aggravatingly wrong.
Maki was mad at him for revealing her talent and putting her in harms way(Keep in mind, Before this, Maki thought of him in the exact same light as everyone else) but this only lasts maybe a day or so in canon or just one chapter at most. Because in the post trial of chapter 3...
This scene happens. And you can perfectly see that Maki talks calmly to him and promises HIM to his FACE. That she's going to work till everyone(Which includes him) can trust her And she would NOT say any of that if she hated him You can also tell Kokichi was genuinely surprised by this, You can tell by the sprite he uses(He only ever stops like that when he's surprised or being honest) Because he's perceived Maki as a cold blooded killer who would snap on him(Trying to kill him) by the slightest teasing word.(Which, ironically, Is how a lot of the fandom perceives her) And he perceived her that way because of his belief that murder is the worst thing a person can do(And he automatically sees people who've committed it as heartless killers until proven wrong, Which surprises him because he obviously doesn't see it often) But this perception of her is false and he learns this first hand when she replies calmly to him, Making a promise, and I can't stress this enough, TO HIS FACE she's gonna fix things between them so he can trust her even if she's an assassin Right after this he makes a comment to cover up the fact he was surprised and keep up the mask he's been playing on the whole game, But honestly I feel like his view on Maki has shifted in some way. Because we already know he hates her JOB and maybe this just helped him separate the sin from the sinner(per say) I will not deny Maki hated him in chapter five though, But that's only because he 1. Kidnapped Kaito And 2. Said he was the mastermind(Which Maki believed) But she would've hated anyone if they did that(Even someone like Shuichi) so it really isn't singled out on him. And I will also admit before this, Still in chapter five, she was angry at him and suspicious of him(Because he was now making promises to kill people if stuff didn't get interesting), But, Again. It isn't singled out on him. TLDR: Maki didn't hate Kokichi until she thought he was the mastermind, And Kokichi hated her job but was able to separate her from it
I'M GONNA FUCKING STAB SOMEONE☹️☹️☹️☹️☹️
LOOK AT HIS FACE JUST BEFORE HE GETS STABBED BY THE BUG THE REAL GONTA KNOWS WHATS GOING ON, HE'S BEEN GETTING HIT BY THE BEES BUT ALTER EGO GONTA HAS NO FUCKING CLUE HE'S ABOUT TO DIE STOP, HE'S JUST LIKE "What's the bug doing??" WHILE THE REAL GONTA IN THE SAME SHOT IS JUST BRACING HIMSELF,,, I hate chapter 4, It isn't real💔💔💔💔💔
"Be my hands forever stained. By a thousand smears"
"Full of blood and tears..."
It really bothers me that Maki is seen as "cruel" or "selfish" by the fandom when she's quite frankly way too selfless for her own good. She becomes an assassin to protect a friend of her's, Volunteering in her place so "She doesn't spend the rest of her life crying." Maki had sacrificed any chance she had at a life of her own to save her friend who died while Maki was training anyway. And even then, Maki stayed an assassin. Trying her hardest for every single mission for the orphanage, She endured literal torture and kept having to experience it(Implied) and she literally refers to her life(Not directly) as "A fate worse than death" But Maki persists. She sucks it up and keeps going so no more children at the orphanage would have to go through what she did. She has literally gave up any control over her life and like any free time for the orphanage. And the majority of the fandom only sees her on surface level and doesn't understand why she acts the way she does and just blames it on cruelty or selfishness
Also I saw someone call her a "pick me" for talking about her problems, Like????
Fun fact: Maki can't cook She directly says she doesn't know how to cook given that a chef would prepare every meal for the kids at the orphanage so Maki has never even touched a knife outside of her job Also Kiibo is actually a great cook despite not being able to taste the food
Can there be more content of Korekiyo and Maki's rivalry instead of the mischaracterizational Kokichi and Maki rivalry? Like Korekiyo and Maki get on each others nerves SO MUCH MORE than Kokichi gets on either of their nerves and it's so overlooked when their interactions are so funny</3 Like Maki constantly tells Kiyo to cut his occult bullshit to stay on topic and it rattles him to his core, And Korekiyo called her "Such a poor, miserable girl who can't understand love" TO HER FACE They need more fanart or little stories where they argue like they do in canon, IT'S SO FUNNY
