#i love how this turned out but i really need to learn typography lol

[mangleschmidt]

If you could rewrite v3 what would you change

-Disclaimer, I’m not good with murder mysteries and analysis so I’m going to gather what I have learned from the theories, analysis and cries of the people I have read. I will also try not to be too biased.-

More Gonta content and appreciation akskkskdk

But seriously, I would try to bring attention to the flaws and strengths rest of the cast. I don’t like how charas just brush their classmates off and even I would keep it as part of the character, I would have it subtle but clear as my skin so that players and fans or some players would realized that it was wrong. Like, someone should call Kaito out for his old man beliefs and also call out how most people (characters and fans alike) treated Gonta for example.

I have grown to love literally everyone in that damned game smh. So more character and depth for everyone, especially Kirumi and Angie. Why did Kirumi become a maid? How does she feel? More backstory doesn’t really hurt the plot but gives more depth. Maybe change up a bit with Korekiyo, not a fan with the whole incest thing. I mean, Korekiyo’s already close with his sister, no need to add that.

Maybe even more valid reason for Tenko to dislike boys (and to show a bit of incompetence of the master but still have the empathy to cast aside her bias)... more tenko backstory and bring more light to Miu’s side other than being a lewd bitch.

Oh! I need more backstory for Miu and her family/life. I don’t like we have that much story about her other than getting in an accident that turns her life around. There’s a possibility that she gets bullied and that’s why she has her ego.

Ok the more I looked into the characters, the more I understand them hell yeah. Though... I must put more backstory to some charas, even if it’s subtle. More food-

There’s already character development in the game tbh, like with Tenko and Shuichi. Maybe a bit more character development outside of free time events for the others

The Monokubz can stay. Though I would... write out that birth scene and instead have that insect thing come from somewhere other than Monophanie. They got an interesting side story aside from being almost completely useless. To those who hate the monokubz, you’re wrong ):<

For gameplay, it’s already amazing. No need to change. Especially the typography in the trials.

For plot, motives and murders, I don’t think I can change??? I would ask my trusty friends opinion about it. (Though it would be interesting to see how things would turn out if Gonta survived that trial cuz I mean, even if he would still do what he did, he still got separated, it’s just this video with Monokuma lmao)

Though I feel like with my changes in the characters, there will be significant changes in the plot, such as if the characters would not ignore Gonta and treat him with that good ole respect, I don’t think he will be as desperate as he did in the Chapter 4.

As for the ending, I would keep the ending and the mystery behind the killing game, since the theme of the game is truth vs lies after all. Though, I would slightly change the dialogue of the survivors but the speech is the same.

One more thing to add, fanservice with the boys. Please. We already have a lot of fanservice with the girls, SDRA2 did the thing that Drv3’s missing out, we have a female protag, we need the boys. I want to see those muscles under the suit- Lol I’m just kidding... unles-

ilia beauty, the brand that’s beautiful inside and out

HOW WE MET As someone who suffers with rosacea, sensitive skin, and has dealt with raging hormonal breakouts, I’ve become more conscious of what products I use on my face. Post-college, I’ve also started to become more interested in sustainability and learning more about cruelty-free, clean products, and brands.

As the Pandemic went into full swing and I started working from home, I obviously saw no use to wear the heavier foundation and strenuous makeup routine I had been doing for months after dealing with EXTREME hormonal acne. My skin was mostly recovered, only stubborn dark spots remaining.

Once Spring finally arrived, I became pretty secure in not wearing the heavier foundation I had, and wanted to find something lighter, but not triggering for my skin. Believe it or not, I learned about Ilia through my mother, who quickly became a big fan of the Priming Serum and Skin Tint. She let me try one of her samples and just like her, my newfound loyalty to this brand began.

BEHIND THE BRAND

In 2011, Sasha Plavsic started the clean skin-centric beauty brand, along with her younger brother and business partner, Zac Ilia. The duo grew up with their mother who was very keen on health and wellness and very interested in learning more about homeopathic remedies, as her brother suffered from acute asthma and allergies as a child. Although they were told by doctors he would most likely not be able to participate in sports, through a healthy and organic diet, Zac was healed of these issues and was able to go on to compete!

With this background, along with studying design, typography, and working in the beauty industry, Sasha saw there was a need for more products that included safe, effective, and natural ingredients. And that’s how the brand began.

They’re also passionate about becoming more sustainable with their packaging:

“We strive towards more sustainable packaging through the use of recycled aluminum, glass components, and responsibly sourced paper. But it isn’t enough - that’s only the beginning of the product’s life cycle. We believe end-of-life is far more important, to ensure products don’t end up in a landfill”.

THE PRODUCTS

True Skin Radiant Priming Serum (Firming, Smoothing Aloe Infused)

PRICE: $52

DESCRIPTION: Base for makeup application, highlighted ingredients: hibiscus extract, aloe and beta-glucan, silicone-free primer. “Helps to firm, moisturize and soothe skin, while protecting it from harmful environmental factors that cause aging”. “Diminishes the look of pores and fine lines, while improving skin texture on dry down for a silky and soft-to-the-touch feel”.

THOUGHTS: All you have to do is put a couple drops and gently rub it on your face and your face will instantly feel smoothed. It holds Skin Tint well and doesn’t irritate my face. I usually don’t even put moisturizer before or after this! After applying, my skin feels super supple and hydrated. 8/10

Super Serum Skin Tint SPF 40 (Niacinamide, Squalane, Hyaluronic Acid) in ST11

PRICE: $46

DESCRIPTION: 18 different shades, “Boasts SPF 40 coverage with non-nano zinc oxide, safely shielding skin from UVA, UVB, UVC, blue light and infrared rays”. The highlighted ingredients are added specifically to “even tone, soften fine lines and imperfections and dries down to a natural, dewy finish”. Free of Silicone, Fragrance, Chemical Screen, and oil, is non-comedogenic, and safe for sensitive skin.

THOUGHTS: You have no idea how surprised I was by how this skin tint really does TINT well. I figured with most products claiming to be a tint, there would be really minimal coverage, but I was wrong! It completely tones my face and makes my face look one color in a real natural way. I really like the idea of it leaving a dewy finish, but my skin is naturally oily, so I personally like to add a powder to matte it a little. I’ve heard from a makeup specialist that products with SPF tend to be a little oiler, but Ilia does it well! Still a big fan and hope to keep using even as the seasons change. I love how easy it is to figure out my shade too! We gotta love inclusivity!!! 8/10

Liquid Light (Serum Highlighter) in Nova

PRICE: $42

DESCRIPTION: “a unique gel based formula that illuminates, and gives a natural dewy finish to the skin. Vegan and cleanly formulated with a blend of organic and natural botanicals the serum-like consistency melts into skin and provides a boost of freshness on contact with a soft wash of metallic glow. marine actives help protect against UV light and pollution.”

THOUGHTS: Um, hellooooo I had no idea that the highlighter protected from UV light and pollution? Incredible. On top of that really cool fact, it also is incredibly smooth and leaves a really pretty, natural, and glowy finish. We love a highlighter that can truly do it all, my goodness. 8/10

Multi-Stick in Lady Bird

PRICE: $34

DESCRIPTION: “Seamlessly blends into lips and cheeks thanks to a soft, buttery texture that instantly melts upon contact”. Designed for lip and cheek.

THOUGHTS: I really love the idea of multi-sticks. I can be really lazy and simple when it comes to color, so this is product was really ideal to try. The shade Lady Bird seems universally complimentary - a nice little muted pink color, but there’s other shade options too! It’s super easy to use, has a pretty color, but definitely requires a little bit more product if you want it to really pop. Again, like most of Ilia’s products, it is a subtle, natural way to add some color to your cheeks or lips. 7/10

Limitless Lash Mascara

PRICE: $28

DESCRIPTION: “Buildable and flake free — lifts, curls, and strengthens and adds just the right amount of volume for fuller, healthy looking-lashes. This lightweight and nourishing formula is made with a blend of organic bee and carnauba waxes to weightlessly condition each lash, while still keeping them lifted throughout the day”. Has a “dual-sided brush that easily builds in volume and separates with precision”. “Gentle enough for sensitive eyes, includes organic shea butter and fortifying arginine (keratin) to help boost and enhance lash condition in a classic black finish.” Easy to remove.

THOUGHTS: Let me just start off by saying me and mascara have a very interesting history and relationship. I’ve been curling my painfully straight eyelashes since the seventh grade and what I’ve encountered is that most mascaras don’t embrace my curling efforts. I’ll curl my little eyelashes and then once I apply, they tend to fall flat and straight again… I find it super annoying. SO the mascara could be good for other reasons, but if it doesn’t keep my fake curl charade… I will most likely refrain from buying again in the future. This mascara does fall into the category of making my curled lashes flatten out, BUT it has a nice strong color, great for my sensitive eyes, and is super easy to remove! 5/10

Balmy Gloss (Tinted Lip Oil) in Tahiti 

PRICE: $26

DESCRIPTION: “A cushiony, tinted lip oil packed with plumping hyaluronic acid and major moisturizing properties that leaves lips soft, smooth, and anything but sticky, containing Salicornia Herbaceous Extract which is derived from a sea succulent that grows along the shores and marshes of densely salted water”. When used at an active level (theirs is .25%), this ingredient has the ability to boost moisture up to 6000%.

THOUGHTS: Just gonna be honest here, I don’t usually love lip gloss. Actually, I loathe lip gloss, lol. I’m not a big fan of the usual stickiness and how it ends up drying out my lips. Also combined with my oily skin, it just makes me feel like a human oil slick. BUT, this lip gloss is so smooth, has great subtle color, and leaves my lips feeling moisturized and alive. That is always ideal. 7/10 

FINAL THOUGHTS

Not only is the branding truly beautiful, but the products really do live up to the hype! I love that each product includes ingredients that are intentionally added and that they are both clean-focused and effective like they aim to be. This write-up is not sponsored by the brand and none of the products mentioned above were gifted. If you’re looking for clean, simple, and unproblematic makeup products that work, Ilia is the brand to try!

“The time for clean beauty is now. And you can have the best of both worlds. Skincare was first and now it’s colors turn. We are so excited to be on the forefront and we cannot wait to see where this goes”.
