kiyo love suite rewrite where he just really wants someone to sit still and listen to him infodump

#fuck kiyo and mius love suites they are so badly written [head in hands] #anyways. hes telling him about similarities between the legend of the basilisk n the myth of medusa #danganronpa #dr #ndrv3 #shuichi saihara #korekiyo shinguji #shinsai #kind of? #cw suggestive #I guess? like the implication is that shuichi was expecting to get railed

Assorted Kiyos.

[shsl-writer]

sorry for accidentally dming you this but I find you very interesting and got too excited and pressed the wrong button and stuff so uh yeah

Opinions on Kiyo? (I’m very very normal about Kiyo and definitely relate to him to a average degree)

Heslo! Don’t worry, I totally get it, I’m horrific with technology. I’m just glad you wanted to talk!

Kiyo! God, I adore Kiyo. I haven’t gotten to the third game yet but I’ve watched all the ftes and am obviously pretty deeply entrenched in fandom stuff so I know a good deal about him, he’s genuinely one of my favorite Danganronpa characters.

To me Kiyo reads as an abused person who hasn’t yet realized they’ve been abused. Other people can probably articulate it better than me but from what I’ve seen his Sister has dictated most everything about him from his clothes to his interests. Everything he does is for her and from the sounds of it this is still the case years after her death, that’s how deeply she’s influenced (and manipulated) him. I’m assuming that his parents were either absent or not there entirely which is why she had so much control over him. It makes me so angry about what they did to him in the 3rd trial not only because Kiyo’s character was then completely villainized but because it’s an absolutely disgusting way to paint someone who’s so clearly been abused. There’s a difference between recognizing that a character doesn’t realize they’ve been mistreated and writing them to be a goddamn serial killer (Danganronpa has a history of turning heavily traumatized characters ‘evil’ tho, just look at Toko and Syo).

Anyway, I also think Kiyo is super autistic. So many of his sprites are self-soothing positions (which could also be related to the abuse but yunno), he’s covered pretty much head to toe which could be to protect from sensory issues, and most importantly: this man infodumps like no one’s fucking business. It’s kinda all he talks about unless prompted otherwise? And there’s implication he doesn’t have a lot of control over it because he’ll cut himself off sometimes realizing he’d been talking for too long and dominating the conversation. All of his ftes with Shuichi are about essentially acting as a teacher for different anthropological subjects. That is a special interest, you can’t convince me otherwise.

Overall I think Kiyo is just a really tragic character who was completely fucked over by the writing. As someone ND myself I find him so fucking relatable. He’s seen as weird and typically keeps to himself and has a hard time holding a normal conversation. He keeps trying to just stay in the background and observe but not only does his stature make that difficult he’s also got so much to say, so much knowledge he wants to share, and he just wants someone who will listen. I hold him so dear to my heart <33

#korekiyo shinguji #danganronpa killing harmony #danganronpa v3 #drv3 #abuse tw #knife is talking #I didn’t even get into how he talks about near death experiences completely casually #like just drops on Shuichi ‘oh yeah I almost die on on-site setting sometimes lol’ #like he needs sooooo much therapy #also some of the facts from his ftes are genuinely so interesting #I would pay to listen to him infodump I’m so fr #as you can see I am also super duper normal and definitely not obsessed with Kiyo and think abt him an average amount <33

let one of the kids Finally pressure me into opening fgo so she could look at it while i was at work today and uhm. congrats to sei shonagon for being the most popular fate character among girls grades 2-4 at [redacted] elementary school's afterschool program

#THEY MADE ME SHOW THEM EACH INDIVIDUAL CHARACTER IN MY CHALDEA #kiyohime got second place bc she was the one who wanted to see fgo to begin with's favorite. but sei v kiyo was 3:1 #(parvati and caren were also runners up bc all of them agreed that they liked them) #the girl in question is 100% convinced that her uncle's gf is an avid fgo player and at first i thought she was lying but i'm almost #convinced that she's telling the truth. she swears up and down that she recognizes ko gil bc of her uncle's gf #saberstolfo was surprisingly unpopular. likely bc i have her on 2nd ascension and they didn't like that her midriff was showing #they freaked out sm whenever anyone but Especially the guys weren't wearing a full shirt. which is. uh oh. bc. fgo. #i looked up arjuna (bc i've yet to summon him) and asked them what their thoughts on him were. as the True determinating factor #of 'do i respect their taste or not' and they liked him enough but were ultimately p apathetic towards him #like their arjuna reaction was near identical to their sanson reaction which. love the guy but he can Not compare to arjuna #(i'd also like to note that by some miracle i was able to divert their attention in order to skip over ushi and boudica bc. god no.) #romeo.txt

[strawberrysweater]

i was talking on discord about kiibo wearing sweaters and joked about him learning to knit or crochet to make his own bc i think that would be silly and he'd enjoy it AND I WAS REMINDED by a friend of the fact that crochet can't be replicated by machines and now i'm sooooo soft about this hc oh my god

kiibo taking up a hobby postgame that gives him something to do during those long quiet nights when everyone else is sleeping... he is all about learning and doing stuff and crochet is so methodical.... he hangs out with kaito or himiko to crochet together, makes a blanket for kaede and shuichi and they're like "hey um this is your blanket too.... <3"

a hobby that only human hands can do but here he is... and sure it's because he's a robot with human-shaped hands but it's still something he's doing because he wants to

#q #meows #top 10 fics i would write #me when kiibo postgame is more than tdr's tool and gets to explore his own humanity waaaaaaaaa #he's important to me.................. #thank u james btw...... your mind #i was gonna mention maybe he listens to kiyo talk abt textile arts but #my postgame hcs for kiyo are different every time jfhdjf and complicated #i think.... would he still enjoy anthropology now that the interest has been beamed into his head. yes #and would kiibo enjoy his company...... i think so. even if it's contentious around some of the others #would kiyo wanna hang out with anyone and would they accept him as one of the group. probably yes but my thoughts are complex #so idk. too insecure about my lack of good headcanons to put it in the body of the post LMFAO #but i think kiibo and kiyo could be funny friends i just feel like they would vibe. i can see them postgame hanging out

[zel-zo]

You said that you liked interactivity and I’m actually dying to see tiny Kiyo and big Kiyo (you don’t have to if you don’t want to sorry if this ask was weird or wrong)

Oh no homie, that's not weird at all! I actually really like Kiyo too, personality and drawing wise!

-

Tiny Kiyo might not be able to talk, but they probably understand each other better than any of the other duos. They've been carrying on entire conversations between them and no one understands how. Also, Kiyo's been pretty quick to find size-appropriate replacement items for his tiny. <3

[A TINY MOTIVE AU MASTERPOST]

#korekiyo shinguji #danganronpa #danganronpa v3 #drv3 #A tiny motive AU #Giant!Korekiyo #Tiny!korekiyo #gt #nonsexual Gt #g/t #giant/tiny #Queer-Devil #Spoilers in the tags below #Honestly i feel like any issues I have with Kiyo are more of an issue with the handling of his character by the writers than acctual kiyo #he's good in my book #But i respect everyone's individual opinions of him! If a character makes you uncomfy than that's also totally valid!

[castlingvanias]

IF HE'S ACTUALLY UTILIZED WELL KIYO'S WHOLE THING PLAYS SO HARD INTO V3'S THEMES OF TRUTH VS LIES HOW COME I LITERALLY HAVE NEVER READ A KIYO HEALING FIC THAT UTILIZES THIS

#rodispeak #danganronpa #korekiyo shinguji #korekiyo shinguuji #like??? him believing in his sister's manipulation and grooming that are essentially lies #and how the kiyo we see is essentially a vessel for his sister to live through #IT'S SO RICH TO EXPLORE BUT NOOOO IT'S ALWAYS JUST GONNA BE 'OMG THANK U FOR HUGGING ME RANTARO IM NO LONGER MENTALLY ILL' #GENUINELY PLEASE REC ME A GOOD KIYO HEALING FIC THAT ISN'T JUST HIM GETTING SAVED SINGLEHANDEDLY BY PERSON HE'S SHIPPED WITH

Oh damn that's a pretty expression

[spittyfishy]

For the character list: everyone’s favorite seesaw man

Korekiyo

Favourite thing about them:

I am absolutely incapable of explaining why I like Kiyo lol, I used to be neutral to disinterested in him and then one day it was just like poof! Bonked with the blorbo beam, and here we are.

Least favourite thing about them:

Unsurprisingly, it’s all the unpleasantness they added to his back story for no reason. It’s entirely the writers being gross and Kiyo deserves better

BrOTP:

As I mentioned in the post about Kaede, I love the idea of her and Kiyo being besties lol. But I also think Kiyo and Kaito being friends is really funny bc Kaito is so freaked out by ghosts and stuff and Kiyo is inherently spooky.

OTP:

I don’t really have any tbh lol, I’ve seen some kinda cute stuff with Shuichi, but I think Kiyo needs a lot of character development before it’s a good idea for him to be in a relationship.

nOTP:

The grossness goes without saying, so other then that I think I’ve seen some stuff with him and Tenko before which is just yikes lol

Random headcanon:

At one point Kiyo and Syo both ran into each other while disposing of bodies and just kinda,,, made awkward eye contact and slowly went on with what they’d been doing.

Unpopular opinion:

Idk if it’s unpopular, but Kiyos outfit design has a lot of problematic elements so now when I draw him I don’t add his hat, armband, and tbh I just don’t put him in the uniform at all when I can.

Song I associate with them:

I wish I had more songs to go with Kiyo, as it stands I don’t think I really have any that are specifically for him.

Favourite picture of them:

This spoopy season one!

#what a fun and interesting lad #I like Kiyo heaps but I can’t articulate why lol #one day Circus and I were talking about him for our superhero au #and after that he quickly rose the ranks of my fav characters #danganronpa #ask game #ndrv3 #korekiyo shinguji

MASARU DAIMON FOR THE BINGO.

(if you haven't seen udg then korekiyo ig)

i don't know all that much about udg but decided to do it for masaru anyway!!! :D look at this sprite aaa he looks so sweet he is silly

thennn i did kiyo too!! honestly i never used to care for him all that much, he was pretty neutral to me but since joining tumblr and making friends that like him i have seen the light lol and i like him a lot now too!!! yayyyy

#i will be honest - the “literally i would kiss them” square was blank for kiyo while i did this. but after choosing this sprite i just AAAA #i had to colour the square i had to it was a legal obligation #also masaru needs a forehead kiss for that square!!! he is my son now i am adopting him #idk why i didnt colour kiyo's square before bc it is obvious that he is very kissable i mean look at him aaaaaaa #the sprite was just extra motivation #masaru daimon #korekiyo shinguji #ask game

[brainfilehasstoppedworking]

Takaaki: *feels someone bite his arm* OW! KIYO!

Kiyondo: What? I thought you liked being bit?

Takaaki:...

Takaaki: Shut up...

#danganronpa #takaaki ishimaru #kiyondo ishida #Biting is his form of affection so he doesn't mind #He only likes it when Taichi bites him 😏 #He tolerates Kiyo's biting #ishimaru family

[drawlypsy]

Oh, hey. I'm not dead. Been a bit since I've posted, so should probably get back into doing that. In any case, hold this. It's Malik having some masculine panic over Kiyo smiling at him. <3 Kiyo belongs to the talented @kikorenart

spent too long thinkingabout my pregame kids today again

[ID: A digital uncolored drawing of Kaito Momota and his grandmother. His grandmother is standing around a corner, smiling and holding her hand up. Kaito is slumped over a countertop, head in his hands as he stares at the table, frustrated. There's a screenshot of text messages in the background that imply their dialogue; Grandma: "Checking in. Cheking in." - Kaito: "I'm bad" - Grandma: "Checking in." - Kaito: "I'm doing bad". end ID]

#image id #doodles.png #dgr #dr #drv3 #danganronpa fanart #pregame #pregame v3 #kaito momota #grandma momota #i actually fuckin hate kaito pregame. at least the version of him i made #he is not a good person!!! he wants to be but he is not. #and he's going through his own shit #the only one's ive thought abt in depth;; kaito; maki; kirumi; rantaro; shuichi & tsumugi kinda; kiyo kinda; himiko; ouma; miu& ryoma kinda #i fucking love these assholes. they all suck so bad #.save #danganronpa
