“makoto fell fir—” WRONG!!!!!!! 😹 byakuya fell first AND harder! he became strangely infatuated with makoto during the killing game around chapter 3-4 i’d say and then those feelings gradually developed into a full fledged crush around their future foundation era !!!!!!! 😡
(although makoto Did fall for byakuya around the time of goodbye despair and was a bit more accepting of it!) (they confessed some time after the hope arc)
i find the dehumanization of makoto to be so fascinating especially when compared to the dehumanization of junko
bc they both get reduced to the ideal they represent (hope and despair) only that for junko it happens after her death, which is what happens to martyrs. she becomes this symbol of despair for which people like monaca and the remnants strive for, specifically after she dies. her death is what cements her as this symbol
but for makoto, it happens whilst he's alive. he has to deal with the weight of being a symbol of hope, the weight of a world that desperately needs healing from the tragedy. he has to do that! he isn't given junko's luxury of being dead. he's alive and has to deal with the pain it inflicts on his deteriorating mental state
it’s his love language (his only form of communication)
Sometimes I think about how Byakuya wanted Makoto so badly but that he had exactly zero social skills and charisma, so the only thing he knew to do was offer to BUY Makoto with a 500k salary.
JUST A QUICK QUESTION…do we like the short naegami videos cuz I have a ton of ideas for them but never rlly come thru to making them due to me being more of a drawing account lol
This is a silly idea but i love this song and i rlly wanted to quickly make something with the scene where Byakuya defends Makoto when he is being accused of murder, by Kyoko and the rest of the survivors. I like the idea that he fantasises and sees Makoto as almost a stronger being (a god) and Makoto is taken aback by how much Byakuya really respects him and feels like he’s betrayed him when he is sent to his death ORRRR you could imagine Makoto actually killing someone in an AU lol
Anywyas i made this in the airport, was too lazy to cook with after effects so I used CapCut hopefully it’s still good lol
