In the valley of the dolls, we sleep
Got a hole inside of me,
Living with identities
That do not belong to me.
girls who have to fight to keep everything they have, girls who have to suppress their true selves and always be on guard. i think these girls deserve to take some comfort in each other.
this is my piece for the @drwlwzine!
details sans ikuzono under the cut

Continuing my yearly IkuZono redraw tradition… except I forgot to post it on White Day. But better a late IkuZono than never an IkuZono

danganronpa ship art is so funny. Like, the wlw ship arts are like calm, wholesome and just straight up cute. And then the mlm art is literally just them grabbing each other’s ass and groping chests and just straight up making out no filter 💀💀😭

Thinking about ikuzono, a ship with virtually no basis in canon (do Sayaka and Mukuro-as-Junko interact even once in THH or DRIF?), yet compels quite a lot of fans. I can't speak for everyone, but for myself ...
Sayaka lives to elevate other girls - it's the whole reason she became an idol. Who could use a moral and emotional boost more than Mukuro? For one, she's a former child soldier ... or still is one? What does Hope's Peak do with her? And of course, she's trapped in the black hole pull of her boisterous, popular, highly visible twin. A sibling who also abuses her, grinds her down, makes her less.
What all this experience has done is make Mukuro highly capable of protecting the people she cares about. That's limited to her sister in canon, but one could see her extending that to Sayaka, who claims to have sacrificed a whole lot to reach her vaulted position in a notoriously exploitative industry. I think Mukuro would understand why she did all that, not see her as less. I also think she'd want to protect Sayaka from creeps and crooks. The sacrifices end here.
Ikuzono could be two hurt people helping each other hurt less, a relationship that heals both through compassion and sympathy. It could also be two people helping each other hurt more - namely, hurt other people. Mukuro could, of course, get revenge on every lascivious talent scout, greedy manager, and rotten record company exec who ever preyed on Sayaka. But if we know anything about Sayaka, it's that the right (or wrong) motivations can push her to pulling off some sneaky and heinous shit. There's great potential for an ikuzono dynamic where the Ultimate Soldier discovers, with some horror and some glee, that she is not the scariest person in their relationship.

Ikuzono list (bonus Maki)
It probably would be fun to watch if these two had a nerf battle
