Makoto & Nagito’s Survivor’s Guilt

i have many thoughts ab why makoto and nagito would have an interesting dynamic but today i’m thinking abt how their history parallels a little (like a lot of things ab them. they’re foils of each other i cld write an essay about it)

this is just a very long (kind of disorganized) tangent about lucky duo’s traumas and how they shaped their mindsets (and how they might understand each other better than people think at first)

i kind of get nervous anytime i put my analyses out there for people to percieve, but that’s okay. we’re facing fears today. LOL

——————————————————————————

i don’t think many people think about how makoto probably understands the survivor’s guilt nagito deals with better than anyone could, because he also has the mentality that he didn’t deserve to survive the things he did, and that his luck had a lot to do with his survival. they cope in very different ways, but at the core of their emotions they both feel that same “i don’t deserve to live” guilt.

——————————————————————————

Makoto’s Survivor’s Guilt

makoto doesn’t attribute as much of his trauma (which is the killing games he went through) to his luck, it doesn’t factor into his thinking as much as it does for nagito. junko says it at some point in the anime: makoto’s luck isn’t like nagito’s! he wouldn’t ever be able to utilize it like nagito can, because it isn’t consistent, it comes and goes super randomly. it keeps that mf alive and that’s IT 😭

(/j. it does more for him than that but im not talking ab his luck rn so BACK TO HIS SURVIVOR’S GUILT.)

he leaves the first killing game with this huge unofficial responsibility. he lost 10 of his classmates and it’s said that he was able to get his memories back after leaving, so that means he remembers the two years he spent with them. they were his friends :,)

and some of them did more than him to contribute to surviving. i know it’s for comedic effect in the game, but makoto is kind of consistently told by byakuya (and sometimes kyoko & others) that he’s stupid or unhelpful. + he already struggles with feeling like he’s not interesting, memorable, or unique in any kind of way (mr. “i’m average at being average”)

but nevertheless, he survives the games, (after basically convincing his remaining classmates to NOT sacrifice him. a second time.) and when he does get out, he joins the future foundation, where his nickname as the ultimate hope starts to push him to do as much as he can. and because he’s so determined to save as many people as he can, he opposes the foundation’s plan to kill the remnants, and takes them to jabberwock island. he’s so determined to do as much as he can because he feels like if he doesn’t, he’s wasting the life he was given. it’s implied a few times that he would have killed himself if he didn’t feel guilty throwing away the life that was taken from his friends! people don’t talk enough about how makoto is NOT as endlessly optimistic as everyone thinks

he isn’t completely immune to despair. i honestly feel like his main motivation in helping people and spreading hope isn’t that he lives by it, it’s that he has to do as much as he can to to spread it to OTHERS because if he doesn’t, what is he doing with the life he has that his friends were robbed of? i could get into the nuances of makoto’s character and how he isn’t just “hope enthusiast #1” but that’s more fitting of a makoto exclusive character analysis. coming soon/hj

the point of that is that he wouldn’t be alive if he didn’t feel like he had to make something of the fact that his classmates died and he didn’t. that’s what motivates him to try and save everyone, no matter who they are or how terrible they are (him saving the remnants, trying to save junko even though he hated her for what she did, and trying to save the future foundation members in the second game, even though they want him dead)

and when he already has this mentality, he goes through a SECOND killing game, where one of his closest friends (i forget if it’s canon they were dating or not, but you get the point) dies as a DIRECT result of him surviving. and instead of breaking down and giving up, he takes it and becomes more determined to end the game. but his despair video shows that he feels so guilty that he survived, even if he doesn’t ruminate in that feeling.

but nagito is the polar opposite

——————————————————————————

Nagito’s Survivor’s Guilt

most of nagito’s character revolves around two things:

His self-loathing

His twisted perception of hope, and his obsession with the concept

putting aside the fact that he has been diagnosed with dementia that definitely warps his perception of reality as it is, when you look into his backstory it makes sense why he thinks the way he does. his childhood pet died in a car crash when he was a little kid, then, when he goes on vacation with his parents (still in elementary school), the plane taking them back is hijacked, and then those hijackers are killed by a meteorite that also kills his parents right in front of him.

he has no other living relatives, so he’s given all of their inheritance, and is said to be free to live on his own. so he’s been alone since he was a kid, and then during middle school, he’s kidnapped by a SERIAL KILLER that held him for ransom, and then let him go after realizing no one was going to come for him. (which is actually so distressing to me like r u kidding me that’s so SAD HE HAD NO ONE WILLING TO EVEN ACKNOWLEDGE HE WAS MISSING?? UGH. ANYWAY.)

any chance at happiness Nagito has had was ripped from him in that cycle of good and bad luck. he starts to become fixated (and eventually, unhealthily obsessed) with the concept of hope, so that he could try and find some meaning to his life beyond killing anyone who'd ever shown him any kindness or cared about him. and then after ALL OF THIS, in high school before hope's peak, he gets diagnosed not only with CANCER, but also DEMENTIA. Which, typically, only affects people over 65!!!! he was probably not older than 16 when he got diagnosed!!!! he's then told that he probably has less than 6 months to live. he tells hajime this whole speech about how he realized all he wanted his entire life was to be loved by someone, and he didn't want to die alone, but then says that he was just quoting something, curious to the sympathy it would get him (i don't really believe that, but THAT is a nagito analysis topic. back on topic again…)

then he gets invited to hope's peak. he tries to refuse, but they insist, and so he finally agrees. but then, during his second year, junko starts to ruin things, and yet ANOTHER person he started to care about is killed right before his eyes (chiaki). of course, then, he goes on to bring as much pain and despair to anyone he can under junko’s brainwashing

he's fully convinced that he's a curse, and that he's not worthy of living.

——————————————————————————

"ok….. what’s your point??" you didn’t ask???

the difference between nagito and makoto is that makoto took his grief and made it into motivation, while nagito took his grief as a personal reflection, and spiraled down into a mental decline.

i think the main reasons for this difference is that, first of all, nagito's trauma has been his entire life. since he was a little kid up to even currently (when he's around 21-22), all he's done is cause or witness death anywhere he's gone. watching your childhood pet AND parents die before your eyes has to impact development in some kind of way (not to mention he was entirely alone since ELEMENTARY SCHOOL)

makoto had a very average, but nice life to that point. he had nice parents that were together and happy, his little sister that he's super close to, and while he didn't have any super close friends, he wasn't on particularly bad terms with anyone (as shown by his reaction to seeing sayaka, and sayaka's reaction to knowina him). all of the trauma and death he experienced happened to him when he was an adult (even though he thought he was 16-17 when the first killing game happened, he was most likely 18-19 and junko can erase memory but not alter brain development. so.)

second of all, makoto had support from his friends! he had the other 5 survivors, and then during the second game, he had kyoko and aoi to support him and get him through it. nagito grew up experiencing all of this grief and guilt and trauma entirely alone, even during the killing game he was in. his classmates treat him awfully even before he has his mental break doing incredibly unhinged shit like blowing up the gym (it's so. hard. to defend him sometimes.)

i still haven’t gotten to my point oh my god i talk a lot. BUT THE POINT IS they cope extremely differently, and arguably have different levels of trauma, but they experience the same survivors guilt. both of them feel like they don't deserve to be alive, and that others around them deserve so much better than they do. i really feel like makoto would be able to empathize with nagito's struggles with survivor's guilt and self worth, because he feels the same things! clearly, not to the same extent, but again, that goes back to the support makoto got during his experiences. it's one of the many MANY reasons i think makoto and nagito would be able to help each other heal, instead of being unhealthy like a lot of people say. (of course it depends on when because obviously, servant nagito meeting ff!makoto would not be healthy. that man would skeeve makoto out MASSIVELY but that dynamic is also an interesting one to explore.... ANYWAY.)

nagito's obsession with hope would give him an unhealthy attachment/idolization of makoto at first, but i really do believe that after he recovers a little more from junko's influence, a few days with the guy would make nagito realize that they're way more similar than he thought and that respectfully, makoto isn't as amazing and godly as he thought LOL

——————————————————————————

TLDR: they have very similar experiences, the only difference between them is that makoto had support that reminded him he wasn't to blame for the deaths of those around him, while nagito was isolated from EVERYONE from a very, VERY young age, and it led to his mental decline. i really believe they would be able to help each other heal a lot and that's why i love them so much :(

side note: genuinely nothing makes me as sad as nagito and his dog 😞 every time i mention them i get so upset

pmmm rewatch live notes: ep 1

ive been rewatching pmmm w my friends who haven't seen it before and have decided that i am incapable of being normal abt it so uhhh.... gonna dump the notes i took during ep 1 here. they are entirely incomprehensible ramblings of a madman but the goal is to synthesize some actual analysis once im done w the watch through. im convinced there is significant color symbolism related to the colors of the holy quintet but idk the exact symbolism for each color so there's a good amount of notes of just instances of those colors that i think could help me pin down the symbolism later on so there's that too a gift for u (or i guess a hurdle if u don't care abt color symbolism but honestly if u don't care abt color symbolism i don't understand u). idk i thought it might be silly for like maybe 1 other guy out there. also my friends bullied me into it (read: hyped me up about it until i relented)

ok buckle in folks this is solidly two pages on google docs

first scene happens bc madoka remembers it from another timeline

spiraling time is it the future or the past does it even matter

brightest thing in intro is her hair ribbons bc they are what links madoka and homura across time and space

everything else is desaturated

god madoka w her in the intro bc god madoka saves and treats all the magical girls like that when she saves them from their witch future

hard to tell what the world is like bc does it even matter

no matter what the setting is homura will fail to save madoka and madoka will sacrifice herself

also adds to the eerie effect

madoka’s mom tells her to use the red ribbon

madoka never chose her fate for herself, she’s always doing what others want and what she thinks is best for others

the scenery has a weird juxtaposition of greenery and industrial things which mirrors the juxtaposition of the magical girl stereotype and the psychological horror reality

the classrooms are like bird cages

homura walks in like she’s not seeing everyone and not really there bc she’s living in the past which is also the future

THE ANGLE WHEN HOMURA FIRST TALKS TO MADOKA

like idk what that loom w the dramatic lighting means but it means Something

the way homura doesn’t hide that she knows the way to the nurses office shows that she’s getting desperate and tired of this cycle

insisting that madoka call her homura even though they “just met” shows how important their relationship is and how much she yearns for their old dynamic

when she confronts madoka in the hall she shows emotion for the first time showing how much she cares about this

it seems cruel but in reality she is grasping at straws to protect madoka

she doesn’t care if she has to be seen as cold as long as madoka is safe

homura knows the math so well bc it’s the same every single fucking time

the symbolism of kyubey with the spikey evil statue that’s all rusty and the shadow where it merges w him

when madoka reveals she has seen homura in a dream and they brush it off bc haha we’re just middle schoolers this is a magical girl anime nothing weird would happen

red in the scene where homura tries to kill kyubey… kyoko’s color… what does red represent in this show?

kyubey reaches out to madoka asking to be saved bc he knows that’s her weak spot , that she will always jump into danger to save other regardless of her own well being

when homura appears trying to kill kyubey there are chains what could this represent

chained to her cycle, chained to kyubey, chained to madoka

they form the shape of a cross bc homura is jesus, she takes the brunt of the harm and the blame in an effort to save the others

use of collage in the witch labyrinths is disorienting and jarring it doesn’t fit and it’s confusing and creepy and unsettling

language is similar to german at times maybe a reference to historical german witches

sayaka protects madoka in a hug like embrace when they first end up in the labyrinth symbolizing the way she is to the end a protector

mami makes sure to act unbothered and not scared when she meets them to keep her persona of a magical girl who saves ppl despite the horrors of the reality

the fact that mami uses guns alludes to the horror of magical girls hidden just beneath the surface

the use of the word contract also shows the severity and adult nature of what they are about to embark on

#puella magi madoka magica #pmmm #madohomu #madoka magica #holy quintet #madoka kaname #homura akemi #mahou shoujo madoka magica #i deserve an award for typing out all those notes on my phone #my friends were so bamboozled by the amount of notes i got out of 20 minutes of content and it has given me a tiny bit of a god complex #the chains forming the cross has literally altered my brain chemistry. homura as jesus analysis is Cooking prepare yourself #pls be nice to me posting is scary and i don't know what im doing #but hi if ur reading this and like pmmm we should be friends

As someone who lives and breathes worldbuilding i have so many questions for a post trigger happy havoc killing game world because the entire world saw that game, im utterly FASCINATED to think about how different cultures and countries and religions would react to it, like a shared experience of that magnitude will leave INTENSE cultural waves EVERYWHERE and I doubt two places would react the same way. All 17 (counting alter ego) students have to be the 17 most famous people in the WORLD, let alone ULTIMATE HOPE MAKOTO, how does this change culture? How does this inscribe tradition, what's the new folklore, are the survivors going to become like catholic saints when they die now. I have QUESTIONS AND PONDERIES AND QUERIES and i am BITING at the walls for answers, the entire world saw that killing game, inherently and irrevocably changing that world forever and I want to see the effects of that. How many babies were born that are now named Makoto, did all the people named Junko as well just like change their name to Kyoko or something to try and ward off bad vibes?? Are ahoges in and pigtails out??? Is blonde hair considered bad vibes now??? Are bears considered unlucky world-wide now???? I AM SO CURIOUS

So about the blog thing….I need to think about it. I’m really busy hunting grief seeds and making sure I got enough food to live. I know I joke about it but I really do gotta focus on that stuff. And well…..I won’t lie. I really do like talking to you all. It’s…..it’s nice being normal for a bit.

Im…..I’m….I’m really sorry if you and Sayaka’s blogs became filled with my constant asks or people wondering about my asks. I only came to really make fun of you two and Mami (and sometimes Homura) for being so positive about being magical girls. But, It felt nice talking with people so…..happy. So I got carried away and kept asking and asking. And you and Sayaka just responded to me almost every time.

I mean I talked to Mami for the first time in god knows how long too! I actually started to look forward to you guys posts and stuff. But….I….I don’t know if that blog stuff is for me. I’m not trying to be coy either. While there were fun parts, there were parts where I did get uncomfortable at times. Nothing against you guys of course. It’s just a me thing.

I need to think about it. I hope it’s okay if I just stick to the asks for awhile until I think of something. The same to Sayaka as well. I hope you understand.

And….thanks for the offer, Madoka.

I’ve been thinking about this too.

I hope things out between you and Homura because you deserve so much love and joy in your life.

-Kyoko

….

I didn’t really mind you staying and giving asks I mean, sometimes you were mean but people can change for the better !

You really can help in our city if you need more grief seeds but you’ll be ok without them right…?

You could come and try to patch things up with Mami but are you ok..? You mood just completely change from your normal asks…. If you need to talk my dms are open always that goes to everyone reading this! I’m not good at a lot of things but I can try to help you guys with any dilemmas or problems….

THH's Moral Alignement and Reasoning

[spoiler for danganronpa 1]

disclaimer: I haven't read the novels, also these aren't character analysis, just my reasoning for why i put them in this category, also please add onto it if you disagree or have anything to say ^^

Lawful Good

Sakura Ogami: She always takes decisions that she considers to be the best for the people around her : trying to proctect her dojo by accepting to work with Monokuma or committing suicide and making sure to write a letter explaining to everyone why she did it as to resolve the situation and create a more peaceful atmosphere among them.

Kyoko Kirigiri: She has good intentions and i feel like what pushes her to act is kind of a "i can do it therefore i should do it" mindset.

Chihiro Fujisaki: Cute baby sunshine, never did anything wrong in their life.

Ishimaru Kiyotaka: He's the Ultimate Moral Compass, pretty self-explanatory.

Naegi Makoto: A genuinely good person who tries his best to be kind.

Neutral Good

Aoi: We can see during chapter 4 that she put her personal beliefs above all else but even if she tried to kill everyone i still think that she is a good person.

Toko (Ultra Despair Girl): If we were talking solely about THH i would've put her in Neutral Evil since she doesn't care about anyone but herself and is pretty mean (also something that i find very interesting during the 4th trial is that even if throughout the game she seems totally devoted and in love with Byakuya + her obvious lack of self esteem she still chose to defend herself when she thought Genocide Jack had killed Sakura which could've led to his death), but the character development she gets in that game is golden so yeah.

Chaotic Good

Mondo: Feel free to disagree with me on that because of the fact that he killed Chihiro who very much did not deserve it but contrary to what Naegi says in the game it absolutely wasn't a cold blooded murder, himself stating that he blacked-out while killing them. I still chose to put him in good because otherwise he really tried to do the right thing (protecting Chihiro's secret by moving their body or even when in the anime he covered Mukuro's bldy with his coat it showed that he was a kind person) + we also know that he uses his influence to minimize tensions between gangs.

True Neutral

Byakuya: I feel like his god complex makes him kind of uncapable to relate to other people and consider their struggles on the same level as him so he doesn't care about anyone + we saw during the 2nd trial that he definitely can't be described as a good person. I truly feel like he couldn't care less about rules or moral implications as he considers himself above it.

Leon: His actions only seem to be motivated by what he wants in that moment without a lot of reasoning behind it, like changing from baseball to music or killing Sayaka when he could've totally ran away after she tried to kill him.

Chaotic Neutral

Sayaka : I feel like she's morally neutral in the way where she's so goal-oriented that she doesn't care too much about the means to get to an end (which is also implicate in her backstory) but she's aware that what she does might bad : she was willing to let everyone die and pin the crime on Naegi but once her plan failed she still made sure to save everyone instead by writing Leon's name.

Yasuhiro : I hesitated to put him in chaotic evil because of the fact that he quite literally could have/tried to kill Sakura + he never was particularly kind to no one in the game and tried to steal money from us during his free time (tbh im still kinda mad at the wasted potential of making him a nice chill guy but well). In the end i went for neutral because i feel like its more a case of picking the worst possible choice than being a bad person, even if he is quite selfish.

Lawful Evil

Hifumi: The reason i put him in "lawful" is because what convinced him to kill Ishimaru was Celestia accusing him of SA, which is an understandable reason especially paired with the chance to get out happy and with Celestia but he was still willing to sacrifice everyone to get out so lawful evil it is.

Neutral Evil

Celestia Lundenberg: It was pretty complicated but i settled on this alignement if we take the things she tells us at face value (since i've seen a few people saying that she wasn't actually trying to win the game and that's why her plan was so sloppy). I don't feel like she's a bad person but she doesn't care about doing bad things to get what she wants.

Mukuro Ikusaba: That's where me not reading the novels probably makes a difference because i know that she gets more development there but based on the game and the anime i have to put her here, even if she was obviously manipulated by Junko she still seemed to agree with her.

Chaotic Evil

Junko Enoshima: Do i really need to explain ?

Genocide Jack: I mean, she enjoys killing people and has no other reason for what she does.

Thank you if you read all of that, sorry for any typos/grammar mistakes, english isn't my first language and i wrote it all in one go. Please tell me what you think :)

Can I request for Madoka having a nightmare seeing Reader becoming a witch only to wake up to find reader in bed, waking up asking Madoka what's wrong and Madoka told them about her nightmare then comforting Madoka that their alright. So Angst and Comfort

Madoka have a nightmare where her S/O become a witch

[ ONE-SHOT ] [ Madoka Kaname ]

[ Puella Magi Madoka Magica ]

Not gonna lie, I loved writing the nightmare (is probably obvious since is pretty long 💀) im sorry if this is longer that you wanted/expected, I just got really inspired and I loved the idea

You and Madoka were hanging out, just sitting side by side, enjoying each other company and trying to relax

Madoka was talking about all kind of things, her family, the school, how happy she is with you and she was even complaining a little about how you two recently hadn't the opportunity to just stay like that for a while, being too busy with the school and your responsability as Magical Girls (she wasn't mad, just nostalgic), the problem is that no matter what Madoka says, no matter what she does you didn't answer, not even once

She was start to get worried, it had being a while now since you didn't say anything, you didn't even look at her, you just stare into the void, she tried to keep conversion hoping that at some point you will react, but you don't

She was so worried, not knowing what else to do but before she can say something else you finally speak, but her smile and relief because finally you answer were quickly vanished when she realiced that your words were of pessimism, words full of despair and tiredness, asking why do you even continue if at the end your fate will be the same, no matter what you do

Madoka didn't like it, she knows that even if the future doesn't seem to be good you had never given up, saying that as long you have each other you will be fine, but now you didn't even look at her. She start to desperately call for you, calling your name and asking you to not give up now, she had even try to make you react holding you tightly, shaking you, whatever to make you get back into your senses, but nothing work

All her attempts where stoped by an explotion and a burst of air that takes her flying, when she finally manage to stand up you weren't there anymore, just a seed of suffering, she runs to where the seed is and look to everywhere searching for you, hoping that this is not happening

She was so blinded for her despair that she didn't even noticed when the labyrinth of the witch opened, traping her in it, noticing it she turn around slowly just to find a witch. The witch seems to be barely waking up, growing slowly while the familiars start to appear little by little, but no matter for where Madoka see it the all in the witch remind her of you, it is crazy but it is real

Madoka was shocked, she doesn't want this, she even fall on her knees, whispering your name and asking you to come back, the tears even started to fall from her eyes, but she was interrupted when she saw Mami came to the picture, walking with determination towards the witch, passing her by and being followed by Sayaka, Kyoko and even Homura was there, but non of them had turn around to look at her

Everyone drew their weapons and run to battle the witch, ignore completely Madoka's cries, her pleas asking them to please not, leaving her with not other option than covering her ears in an attempt to don't hear the cries of the witch because that was your voice

From far away she started to hear a small and worried voice, but she doesn't want to hear anymore. That tiny voice started to grow little by little, it called her name worringly. Soon that voice overcome the noise of the fight and she realized it was your voice, but not as a witch anymore, and this time it was calling her name

When she finally manage to open her eyes it took her a while to adjust to the limited ilumination on the room, but she can hear your worried voice asking her if she was alright, and when she finally manage to see you (or at least reconize that is you) she practically threw herself into your arms, crying once again, you can ask her what happen but you aren't going to get an answer for a while, right now the only thing Madoka can do is cry, cry because she was so scare, cry because she had lost you a moment ago, but also cry out of relief because you are still here with her

After a while and with your help she will be able to calm down, at least enough to tell you about her nightmare, she doesn't want to talk about it since she doesn't want to remember all of that, but she ended up doing it thinking that this will help her, besides, for that nightmare she end up waking you up and worried you

She start telling you about her nightmare slowly, trying to say all she can about it and taking small breaks whenever she feel the need to cry again, and she never leave your hold, she clings to you unconsciously

If you start stroking her head or hold her tightler it would help her calm down quickler. If you offer her to bring her maybe some water or milk she will decline rather quickly, she doesn't want you to go for anything, and she will even ask you shyly to don't let her alone, still nervous about her nightmare (specially now that you finally are answering her)

She knows that all that terrible things were nothing more than a nightmare, but she still feel scare so it would help her a lot if you help her see the inconsistencies within it, how you will never ignore her like that, or how even in the worst situation Madoka always manage to give you hope again, and how your friends will never do such thing as ignore her when she is suffering, even if they have a witch standing in front of them they will help her

With your help Madoka will be able to calm down, but still will feel uneasy to try to go to sleep again, so she will prefer to stay up for a little longer, she will say that you don't need to stay up with her, but if you decide to stay awake anyway she will thank you, you can talk about anything and everything (you promise to answer this time), or you two can even just go out of the bed and do whatever she wants to distract her. In case you fall sleep she won't mind too much, you already helped her calm down, but she isn't going to leave you in all the night, she will cuddle you the rest of the night, resting her head in your chest so she can heard your heartbeat, maybe that will help her fall sleep again

She will feel nervous the next days still for the nightmare, specially when you two have to go to fight, when she sees Kubey or in the nights (fearing having another nightmare like that), so she will cling to you until she feel better, and she even ask to you sleep with her, if she have another nightmare the last thing she wants is to be alone in the room

i know someone probably did this already but!! i screenshot-ed parts of the story where they talked about surprisingly important stuff when it comes to fic writing for these girls? like. how yoba academy works and how influential miyu, kurumi and miiko's families are.

i'll share it here so people can save the hassle of trying to find this info for their fics!!! (even tho a lot of people have probably read this before me)

extra stuff under the cut: (i ramble how the classes work and other things)

abyssmare's classes are:

neo - vocals class (same class as kyoko)

wero - performing arts class (same class as towa noa and ibuki)

elsie - media and arts class or regular class

sophia - media and arts class or regular class

im not sure on elsie and soap's since michiru hasn't stated what her class is at this point in time, i might learn what it is if i continue catching up w the story.

anyway! notes/how i think the classes work

media and arts (MnA to make my life easier) might have the same amount of education as art schools (since yoba used to be an art school) for the artists while for people like shinobu it must have something to do with learning how the entertainment industry works/how to get yourself to start somewhere in that industry.

shinobu being in the MnA rather than music must imply being in the music classes need you to use an instrument rather than how to compose music. (rei is the only person among the yoba units to play an instrument and is the only person in the music course)

regular course must mean the regular subjects for the students (academics and such) but from what i recall from the past events, area conversations, anime and manga the other classes still indulge in academics somewhat just not as much compared to those in the regular course.

peaky back in middle school must've originally chose the regular course before deciding to take up the MnA courses so it will help w performing/future careers. (kyoko = vocals, shinobu = MnA, yuka = video, esora = design)

esora taking up design implies that she is the one who makes the outfits of peaky and also because she's stage designer and negotiator for what/where their venues will be. (in road to d4fes she did set up a whole event by herself iirc)

lyrilily family/arisugawa/rich girl world notes

hayate and kokoa are rich yes but not AS rich compared to miyu kurumi and miiko. they must be around the same status as haruna's family.

miyu's family is the riches out of the four of them since kokoa specifically used the words 'former zaibatsu' to explain her status.

zaibatsu (literally wealthy clique or rich clan) is an industrial/financial integrated business who has an influence so huge over specific parts of japan's economy in WWII. this means that her family, the sakuradas, were super important back in the day, giving them a very heightened status in the business world.

miiko's father is the head of an international group company, so her connections are all over the world. (this is also the reason she knows so many languages)

kurumi's family is one of japan's biggest companies, it doesnt state it so but it might have a connection with technology or is something else entirely.

haruna's family seems to just have a lot of money or her family came from a very rich bloodline, either way, it seems her parents/family isnt known for anything notable that kokoa would remember compared to the other three. (this must be the reason why she acts so high class compared to the other lyrilily members, to fit in w these girls that have family w big and vast connections in different businesses)

the shimizus (esora's family) must be around the same influence as the sakuradas since yuka stated in the manga that she is super well known even among rich girls.

i guess this counts as me liveblogging huh. sorry.

Can I get HCs for how Chiaki, Kaede and Mikan would comfort their S/O after finding them huddled up in the closet, face buried in their knees and sobbing due to a one bad day at work after a week of stress piling up and accumulating

hey friend thanks for the ask

i'm a sucker for this kind of prompt

take this with a grain of salt... i cannot write kaede well for some reason but i try

chiaki, kaede, mikan comforting their s/o

when kaede heard small noises coming from the closet she thought it was some sort of game

she would throw open the door like "what are you doing in the closet, silly?"

then she sees you crying, and kneels down next to you

she's the type to not shut up until you feel better

she won't let you sit in the closet any longer either, it's not good for you.

so she'll yank you up and lead you over to your bed where the two of you will sit together and she'll play with your hair

after that, she'll leave the room but won't let you come out because it's a surprise

she'll come back after an hour or so with a whole homemade meal with your faves

and of course she'll give you a pep talk, it's kaede

"pick yourself up, eat some food, and stop stressing. life's too short to spend so much time being upset, you know?"

chiaki was looking for something she was sure she left in the closet when she nearly tripped over your curled up form

she huddled up and then closed the door so the two of you were just sitting in the dark together

"you don't have to say anything if you don't want to. do you wanna play a game?"

she'd pull out her handheld console and just start gaming while you watch, until you calm down and are ready to talk

once you start venting, she'll give you her absolute undivided attention

"well, recently i've been feeling stressed out too, and what i do is stop what i'm doing and meditate. it actually works if you take it seriously and put the effort in."

she convinces you to try meditation with her, and she puts on some white noise in the background

she'll make you a hot drink and tell you to hold it in your hands because the warmth will ground you and keep you in the moment

if you still can't calm down she'll do breathing exercises with you

tbh, mikan probably beat you to the closet

the first time she ever found you in there was when she was on her way to go have a melt down, turns out you two both like to hide in the same place

as soon as she saw you crying, though, you were immediately her first priority

she pushed down her own sadness for a few moments to comfort you

"you know, i like to come in here and cry too."

but then she can't help it, you're still crying so she starts to cry and now you're both a mess

so you both decide to cling onto each other as you ride out the emotional wave

when you have no tears left in your reserves, she'll reach out and wipe your tears away gently with her thumbs

youll probably spend a lot more time just sitting there in the closet

but eventually she will gently suggest that you take a bath or a nap

her nurse instincts are kicking in and she wants to make you drink water and rest after the emotional turmoil, you probably have a headache from crying so much

so she'll start a warm bath and the two of you will get in together and just soak up the warmth

♤♧♤♧♤♧♤♧♤♧♤♧♤♧♤♧♤♧♤♧♤♧

oh my god this was horrendous im so sorry

hello!! same person as the read more opddmh ask, off anon now (accidental click hiding my identity permanently. alas) and wow you have fed me so well oh my god. ive been rereading really focusing on that lens and im going absolutely NUTS!! hope you don't mind if i ask another question im just so hooked. r there any dynamics youve especially enjoyed exploring, or hope you get a chance to explore further/introduce?

KOZUELOVEMAIL !!!!!!!!!!!!! I LOVE YOU.

referring to this post talking about this fic :]!! again going to put this under read more LMFAOO

ohhhhhh my god ok so first of all i know its probably the obvious answer since they are like. the very first people to get introduced in the fic but ive loved writing makoto and miu hgfdbshfjbg i think it started when i was writing lgowab and there were a couple of scenes between them in that fic?? i just remember makoto being this sort of calming and influencing presence to miu, who if youve read that fic definitely needed somebody calm around her lmfao. writing miu in THIS fic im always trying to keep in mind how she would act around adults rather than kids her age and i thought it was important for her to have somebody """""""stable""""""" (worlds BIGGEST asterisk on the stable part) that's able to empathise with her. and on the other hand, i thought it'd be neat for somebody that's wild as hell like miu to be interacting with this version of makoto, since he's sort of lost a lot of his youth to the company he works for :] in a way theyre able to balance each other out. theres still a lot of learning the both of them have to do, miu has a long way to go in terms of trust and makoto is still unable to prioritise his own feelings rather than everybody elses, but theyre certainly getting there!! :] never thought one of my favorite dynamics would be rowdy teenage girl picked up off of the streets interacting with jaded "ultimate hope" but here we are....

very excited to keep going with mikane SOOO excited for them. theres this unspoken codependency that both of them have with each other even if they refuse to admit it. mikan is the ONLY person akane talks to from her class and seems to be the only person she interacts with at all. but on the other hand, mikan relies on akane to be that stability for her, and has to believe in akanes act because of this. i make sure to frequently reference how mikan is worried about akane in her pov and vice versa, because even if they aren't together they're still thinking about the other :] they care about each other so so much, but both of them have this unexpressed reliance on the other for their own personal wellbeing that, again going back to the danganronpa of it all, has a lot to do with their own personal traumas. im trying not to make it super duper heavy handed or anything just yet but it will be explored later on when they finally reunite!!!!!!!!!!! :] writing for mikane can be so funny sometimes especially with akane who is constantly like "yeah mikan is the only person i think about most of the time lol. platonically tho. im not gay"

AND honestly this unspoken dependency sort of applies to naegiri too, even if it is even less stated-- even if makoto and kyoko have other people to turn to in the rare event they DO want to talk about their feelings, theyre still relying on the other for some kind of stability. so even if they are both extremely aware that the other is lying to them in some capacity there will always be worry coming from both sides, which hopefully will get elaborated on later when we get to the peak of makotos arc :D

OHHHH MY GOD BYAKUYA AND MIU TOO. OBSESSED WITH THEM. both of them are such assholes i loooovveeee writing about their whole deal. they are both so so aware of their morality in comparison to somebody like makoto who is just so objectively good that its difficult not to question their standing and why he would want to hang around them. but they are so funny together because miu can not stand how uptight he is and byakuya would actually for real rather kill himself than admit he wants to be friends with her they are everything 2 me

gfshdghgfs as im writing this im realising there are SO MANY i want to explore but i dont want to keep you here forever and ever LMAO so ill try to make this quick first of all. i love exploring angie and kirumi's dynamic. theyre both in different stages of denial, even if kirumi tries to pretend like she isnt. soooo much of kirumi is driven by guilt it is insane, guilt that now EXTENDS to angie because of the whole riot thing. and angie oooughhgh angie. ive got scenes for these guys already written out that i cant waiiiitttttt for

both rantaro and ryoma mirror akane in different ways so im looking forward to their moments as well!!! don't know if i should be elaborating on that because it's very very possibly a spoiler LMFAO but just know things are going to happen. they are definitely going to happen

makoto and junko are also very fun :] still foils to each other but at the same time grossly similar in the way they are exploited by the company. also they hate each other. love writing them

alright im practicing restraint. going to stop now THANK YOU AGAIN SORRY THIS IS SO LONG!!!!!!!! I JUST LIKE TALKING ABOUT THINGS THANKS AGAIN :]] <33

its weird because kyoko and kyo are very obviously, in your face, parallels to each other. the series makes this SO in your face- even in the first volume! when hanajima (i think? it may have been uo) comments that kyo and kyoko look the same.

but reading reviews of the volume i’ve just read (8)- people are drawing parallels of kyo and KATSUYA??? is this a. im missing something or a “trying to parallel male characters with male characters and female characters with female ones” or is it an attempt for katsuya/kyoko to be a parallel to kyo/tohru?

IM JUST CONFUSED OKAY I DONT SEE ANY SIMILARITIES BETWEEN KYO AND KATSUYA (thank god, im normal so i hate katsuya).

im just. it was made blatantly clear that kyoko sees herself in kyo and wants him to be better in the ways she couldn’t until later in life and she understands the feeling of being Hated, and Furious and Lonely and just wanting so desperately to be Loved SO YEAH CONFUSED

#nick n mix #fruits basket #kyo sohma #katsuya honda #kyoko honda #tohru honda #firm believer in any canon pairing but kyohru is iffy at best #kyohru #text

i saw this essay while i was trying to find kmhn and i have so many thoughts..

if you want to read my thoughts i recommend reading them as you read the sections because thats how i wrote it

okay i'll go chapter by chapter (there are 5 chapters)

chapter 1: faqs

faq #1: the blatant homophobia towards the women youre trying to "protect" in this is very ironic to me. your point here is just plainly incorrect. how on earth does wlw ships further the ideology that women only want men for sex? and what is with the shaming women for not being virgins? there is nothing inherently wrong with having sex, having a sexual past, or anything of the sort. you sexualized these women. miu & sonia have done nothing wrong, and deserve the equal opportunity to be in a relationship and be loved.

faq #2: it *is* simply a matter of preference. there is nothing wrong w preferring makoto/byakuya, hajime/nagito, or kokichi/suichi. yes, those characters (kyoko, chiaki, and kaede) were written to be the protagonists respective love intrest. however, when has a fandom *not* shipped a character with someone who wasnt their love intrest? i can give several examples. it is not down to gender. people can see themselves represented through these relationships, they can hold the belief that those ships work better for the characters, or they can plain like the dynamic better. it does not matter.

faq #3: ...what? that makes no sense. the whole question doesnt make sense. im just not gunna adress it, but it is there.

faq #4: those crushes could be arguable. however, there was a slight hesitation from nagito when he said it, leading many people to believe that. i dont know enough about v3 to speak on that other part.

chapter 2: nagami

once again, it comes down to preference. you cannot controls someones preference. if they like naegami? fine! if they like naegiri? fine! it does not *matter*. at the end of the day, these two ships are perfectly resonable, and do no harm. therefore, both should equally be resepcted. the reason why naegami has more fics on ao3 because people prefer it more. simple as that.

also, this exact senario has happened before in another fandom. in the hp fandom, hinny (harry/ginny, his current wife) is less popular than drarry (draco/harry, his rival). and yk what? they have damn near the same dynamic as naegami. the simple thing is: people prefer the dynamic more. it is not misogynistic to prefer a dynamic. (i could go into a whole ass tangent on how similiar draco and byakuya are, but i digress)

chapter 3: komahina

i could ramble day in and day out abt this ship, but i dont feel like retyping all of it so ima just ss my original ramble to my friends in discord.

(apologies for going off track for a little, PLS IGNORE THE PFP 😭)

moving on, you mentioned nagito lied about having cancer. he didnt. he said he had stage 4 malignant lymphoma and front mental dementia. both of which were never implied to be lies.

"chiaki died for him and the rest of the class"

oh, do you mean in the real world, where she was brutality murdered so class 77 could become brainwashed, and how hajime was already too far gone at that point? or do you mean in the simulation, where they had zero chance of getting out without leaving chiaki behind because she was ai and apart of the system? or the time she had to be executed to save the rest of the group? thats not an act of romance, it was quite literally life or death. in 2 of those situations, it makes no logical sense for chiaki to live and have the rest of the group die. shes a team player, through and through.

chapter 4: saiouma

it comes down to prefrence. there is no misogyny here. it is just people preferring one ship over the other. nothing more, nothing less. this is getting embarrassing atp.

chapter 5: stats

chiriho: ...you missed their entire story arc!! not suprising you dont actually pay attention to stuff. ALSO!! the transmisogny!! and, to top it all off: youre a terf. whos fucking suprised. chiriho hid under the cover as a woman because they were afraid. thats it. they wanted to become stronger and braver. thats their arc. you red far too into it to come to the conclusions you came to. (using they/them on chiriho bcs i felt like it)

sonia: youre promoting purity culture. women do not need so save their virginity for anyone. nor does anyone. virginity is something given up when that person is ready. sonia was ready. so she gave it up. shouldnt that be a symbol of women empowerment? (note: i hate the concept of virginity as a whole, literally just have sex nobody gives a fuck.)

miu: "she doesnt deserve to be called a woman because of how preverted she acts." you wrote this whole essay as a callout for what you precieve as misogyny. however, throughout the entire damn thing you promoted misogynistic take after take. you basically just said in fujisaki's section that women shouldnt be pushed into a box, and yet,,, youre here telling women they cant be sexual beings? that they have to be pure, clean, and submit to men? miu didnt do anything wrong. she expressed herself in the way she saw fit, and YOURE mad that the way she did so didnt fit your standards? get the fuck out of here, weirdo.

final thoughts:

op has been continuously misogynistic, homophobic, and transphobic throughout this entire read. it is disgusting. now, this can be a blatant troll, but at the same time this is still perpetuating a very disgusting view on women and what they should be. as an afab, i'm disgusted. this is appaling. you disregard so many women writing this. queer women, women who didnt save themselves for marriage (because god forbid women do what they want to do.), or any woman that doesnt fit in your little box. you say youre against misogyny, but this is the most apparent example ive ever seen of a woman with internalized misogyny. if youre being serious? i truly hope you recieve the help you need, and do some interal work trying to combat this. writing 2,643 words worth of fictional parings you dont like when you can simply ignore it and walk outside is just sad. if youre a troll? fuck you.

(also, before you question that "writing 2,643..." line, i wouldve, but i happened to see it whilst on a 2 hour car ride to thanksgiving and i was bored as shit. sue me.)

#yeah idk how the fuck to tag this #hajime hinata #chiaki nanami #nagito komaeda #makoto naegi #byakuya togami #kyoko kirigiri #shuichi saihara #kaede akamatsu #kokichi ouma

Tysm @pastelwhile for tagging!!!

Three Ships:

Hmm so basically Madohomu because Homura literally looped time for the sake of Madoka n will literally do anything to see Madoka Smile. Also that scene where Madoka was braiding Homu's hair was so heartbreaking but at the same time awwsjdsh jdj Helpp I'm literally gushing rnn-

Uhh My second ship is Kyosaya also from PMMM. So basically Sayaka was the reason why Kyoko had someone to fight for, someone to keep going for. Literally every scene w them was heartbreaking especially that yk fight w Sayaka's Witch n Kyoko. I'll still continue to make silly little headcanons for them though!

My third ship is uhh Haruka x Michiru from Sailor Moon!! I never really watched the anime (I watched the movie) BUT SNIPPETS like LITERAL SNIPPETS OF THE 90'S VER is enough to get me screaming fr

First Ship: Akari x Sena from Aikatsu!! Idk why I shipped that but then I was literally 10 years old at that time so don't come at me

Last song: KNOCK-LEE CHAE YEON

Last movie: Elementals...I cried while watching that. Physically.

Currently Watching: Uhh this may come as a shock but like I watch ThewizardLiz, Dear Peachie and Mei Monte!! I also watch Peter Nuggets n like 1928449488489 other channels! I can't list them all though

Currently Reading: I don't read as much anymore but I certainly do read?

The Selection

The Hunger Games

Shadowhunters (I'm trying to force myself to finish it but istg)

I'm also rereading Geronimo Stilton: Kingdom of Fantasy Books!!

Other than that, I just read fanfiction!!

Currently Playing:

Life Makeover, HPHM, Time Princess (rarely bc it's v time consuming n there's a paywall in front of everything I want) I'm also planning to start Identity V once I have time

Currently Consuming: NOTHINGGG

Currently Craving: I'm currently craving Sorbet!!

haiiiii :3 akane anon again. im off work now!

i agree w absolutely everything u said. she's been my fav ever for years and i have so many in depth thoughts abt how she could function on relationships w like. most of the girls. i could probably make a chart if i figured out a format.

chiakane soooo crazy. never been my main ship but ill consider anything. they r most interesting from a doomed standpoint to me...... akane as a remnant vs chiaki's existence as ai and (counting dr3 as canon which im not usually interested in doing) death before the tragedy. i think of them in almost a similar vein to the tragedy between madoka and homura except if homura was replaced by a kyoko who's a little worse w emotions. chiaki's entire being has become dedicated in one way or another to serving class 77 even if that means sacrificing herself over and over and akane has had every single meaningful relationship (or what SHOULD have been) ripped away or twisted and never having even really existed and she is so afraid of going through this again she doesn't even try and have relationships she cares about deeply (or at all!) that aren't w her siblings. so she would be PISSED to fall in love w chiaki who is already dead and doomed to die again. ive never believed the mastermind akane theory people talk abt at least fully but it IS interesting. i can make a killer chiakane au w it. w madoka magica parallels even. but ur right they can also be very very sweet. i think they would play super smash bros and akane would kinda suck at it (spams the buttons and thinks it's a pro strategy) but chiaki would let her win every once or twice. akane hears the rumours abt chiaki dating some random reserve course guy and sends the "im so happy for you and your ugly fucking boyfriend I'm serious" text after swearing to herself she doesn't even gaf

that's uh. that's a lot. im so sorry can you tell i have autism. this isn't even my favourite ship for either of them ask me about pekokane and i start growling like a rabid dog.

YES yes yes yes!! I am a HUGE Akane fan. She's the only character I have a real little collection of merch for (though that's partly just because so much merch excludes Mukuro). I didn't really attach to her the first time I played SDR2 but over time I've grown SO fond and defensive of her, she is such a sad and complex character who deserved to be treated better by her writers (and have less racist tropes associated with her. Spike Chunsoft. cough cough) and still deserves to be treated better by the fandom.

And I think you got it RIGHT on the money why I'm inclined towards Chiaki/Akane, actually. Akane has lived such a dark life that not only does she not know how to ask for help or rely on others, she doesn't even realize she needs to - for her, this is just how the world is. Akane, to me, is like the equivalent of a housecat looking at their humans and going, "They don't even know how to hunt. They're all so stupid. I have to go kill mice so they can eat. Are they even bathing themselves properly?? Licking time. Morons." She's incredibly resilient and smart within the context of the VERY SPECIFIC lifestyle she's lived.

And something really appeals to me about someone who solely exists to help people meeting Akane, thinking they can 'save' her, and slowly coming to realize that she is not dumb or unskilled just because she isn't skilled in the way they value. Learning that intelligence isn't a measure of worth and seeing & valuing Akane for who she is - and, at the same time, helping her see that some of the things she's gone through are truly, deeply traumatic, and helping her learn how to rely on others for the first time...that shit gets me. I Just Want Akane To Be Happy

#you are also correct and SO funny abt akane being pissed to fall in love #what is this? an emotion for ants???#asks #anon #talk to the mod #chiakane #meta #headcanons #chiaki nanami #akane owari #sdr2
