Why do you ship komamiki..? They hate eachother and nagito is canon gay

Why? Because while watching the sdr2 letsplay, my brain is like, "Okay. Now I will only give you dopamine when these two are together." I don't make the rules here.

#I've seen whole essays by people about komahina and I have no questions about their canon #They have a vibrant relationship throughout the game and I was also among their fans at first #But I am me and I just like komamiki more #It didn't make much sense to make this post #but I've needed an excuse to make this meme for a long time #Let's just get dopamine from our favorite couples and live a little happier

[yantao-enthusiast]

izuru: in the end, there is so much i do not know...

hajime: it’s ok, i’m here to help. i’m not happy with you but...we need to work together, for everyone’s future, to be better. you can ask me anything and i’ll try my best to explain.

izuru: killing is bad?

hajime: yes. we do not take human life, ever. it’s precious.

izuru: i see...and empathy is never meaningless?

hajime: no, it’s not. it may be predictable, but it’s still better to be kind. people’s feelings matter.

izuru: mm....and i should not compromise morality out of boredom.

hajime: that’s right. see! you’re getting it!

izuru: mmhm...one more thing, hajime...

hajime: yeah?

izuru: why does komaeda nagito call us babygirl?

hajime:

izuru:

hajime:

izuru: ...?

hajime: remember that thing i said about no killing? yeah so feel free to forget tha-

Anon who asked your faves here- Good choices!!! :D all amazing characters. Will you tell me more about why you like them? :3c (i want to hear your thoughts and give you the chance to talk blorbos!)

O_o you honour me anon, I’m really about write a whole essay Godspeed 🙏

I love Sakura and Mondo because I am, and always have been, a complete sucker for buff people who are actually so soft. Mondo really made himself cry when he talked to Makoto about his dog and I will never be able to get over that. Sakura is the ultimate martial artist and people are always terrified of her at first glance but then it turns out she’s sweet and soft and feminine and cares deeply for her friends and her moral principals. Also they’re so gay so like that automatically gives them a million points

MAKOTO my darling dearest boy is so delightful, so optimistic, and also such a little freak (affectionately). He is truly the glue that holds the group together, he is so relatable, he’s secretly a snarky little bitch, and he’s the littlest guy ever in the world 🥰 Also something else that not only pertains to him but also the other protags as well that I love is the journey from being so insecure so realizing their true capabilities, which I just love for them

Gundham my beloved, was instantly so high in my list because he is A Goth, he has Hamsters, and he is so unapologetic about who he is. He wears all black, he loves eyeliner, he loves animals, he Talks Like That, he knows who he is and he likes to have fun, and he really does come to love and care for his friends and classmates by the end. He makes connections. He’s so autistic but that doesn’t stop anyone from loving him. He is everything to me ❤️

Keebo was immediately my fave in v3 because he is also such an autistic representation and he is immediately so sassy in scene 1, he is straightforward and intelligent, and his whole existence raises so many interesting philosophical questions about AI which I will probably talk more about in its own post, and he’s just so pure, so lovely. I love him. Best boy.

Shuichi baby. How can I even do him justice. He’s shy, he’s insecure, he’s a little emo boy (I see all black and I pass out and hit reblog), and he just needs a hug so bad. Also his arc is so satisfying to me, he undergoes grief, anxiety, depression, and he still comes out the other side stronger than he ever was. Also sassy, he has that signature protag sass and I love it.

Miu was a fave because she’s literally sooo annoying like why is she like that? Is she insecure too? Probably! But her methods of coping are so opposite to anyone else in the series (apart from toko/syo who I also like for the same reasons) that it’s just so comical. She hilarious, she’s also unapologetic, and she’s really out here just saying whatever. We love to see it.

Hajime and Nagito are so prevalent in my mind that I don’t even know where to start. There’s so much to say, and so much of it has been said already, but that won’t stop me from trying. They are mirrors, they are complimenting colours, they are victims of circumstance, they are the only ones who understand each other. They are so snarky, they’re smartasses, they’re simultaneously the smartest and dumbest people in the room at any given moment, they’re so insecure it hurts, but they’re so strong in their convictions that nothing short of the end of the world can shake them. As characters they are complex, they are funny, they are tragic, they go and in hand like chilli and dark chocolate, and that I think is what makes them each compelling as their own individual people as well. I have so many thoughts I cannot even hope to articulate. They’re just so. Soo. AAHG. Ya know?

#thank you for enabling my ramblings #I did tell you I was gonna write an essay #I love talking about my blorbos #god bless you anon you have given me a true gift by sending me this ask #danganronpa #komahina #skaterboy answers

[batw1nggg]

this is just me being silly but im making a script for an essay video analyzing all of nagito's songs because i realized a lot of people dont even know about all of them especially poison i have absolute hope birthday and remaining cherry blossoms practically finished but i have no idea where to start with what poison is about lmao

if u do end up recording the essay PLZZZ LINK !!! i would love to see !!!!

ok so i’ll only be able to give a very surface level analyzation because i don’t know japanese and translations between eng and jp are always sort of janky, i might get some things wrong or miss some nuances (if anyone knows some japanese and wants to chime in please please do!!). but i can definitely give u the basic gist of it. translation taken from the danganronpa fandom wiki page. ok here we go

so the song takes place when komaeda kills himself (“I believe that hope / And will offer my pulsating heart / For the sake of that brilliance / I’ll tear apart my chest / Until the very last drop / Trickles down and wets my lips”, “I am merely watching over you”).

To me it seems like a summary of his thought process — he mentions wanting to “meet the biggest hope” (the hope that will overcome the despair of and end the killing game), how he has “no need for worthless things / anything ordinary and boring” (his thoughts on talentless people). those parts of the song are just outlining the basics of his worldview.

but, because this song is about komaeda’s death, it’s also inextricably tied to hinata. we see this most explicitly with the line “I love, and want to understand / him more than anyone else”. a main theme of komahina is their desire to understand each other.

That’s the really obvious hinata reference, but he also seems to be referenced more subtly throughout:

- “I have no need for worthless things / anything ordinary and boring / What meaning is there to words that will neither be deadly poison nor cure?” this is komaeda talking about how he thinks talentless people are boring, they’re neither shining hope (like the ultimates) nor crushing despair (like junko) and are just pawns in the game; but also, who exactly was it that chose to be neither deadly poison (despair) or cure (hope)? to create an ending separate of hope and despair altogether, to create a new choice, to focus on the future? komaeda’s asking what meaning there is to anything that is neither pure hope nor pure despair — anything that is not necessary to the cycle of hope and despair. hinata will go on to give him the answer.

- “When drinking poison poured into a glass will you drink it immediately or throw it away?” this one seems vague but I’m inclined to believe it’s about hinata because it’s followed by “I am merely watching over you / to whom the last choice is given”. the “whom” is very obviously hinata, he’s the one that makes the choice to wake up and then inspires everyone else to choose the same. that former lyric about the poison seems to be a fancy way of komaeda asking whether or not hinata will give into the despair of finding out the truth (drinking the poison) or decide to keep going despite it (throwing it away). he’s watching over hinata in death, entrusting hinata with that decision.

hinata being a core part of this song really speaks to how much trust komaeda was putting into hinata in chapters 5 and 6. i’ve already made a post or two about how komaeda’s faith in hinata to solve trial 5 and survive trial 6 was an integral factor in the game’s ending. komaeda can’t talk about his death without hinata being part of the conversation; hinata is the only one who’s ever tried to understand him instead of completely writing him off as insane, he’s a big part of komaeda’s life. we see at the end of the komaeda pov manga that hinata was komaedas last thought before death.

so yeah. to summarize: the song is about chapter 5. komaeda talks about his worldview, talks about how his worldview and faith in hope led to his sacrifice, and talks about his faith in hinata.

#i hope this is somewhat coherent .. im very eepy writing this #ko’s danganronpa ramblings #nagito komaeda #asks #komahina

Mizumi deleted the AO3 version of her anti-komahina essay.

I can tell by cross-referencing it to other places where she posted the essay, like on reddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/danganronpa/comments/x80ksb/why_komahina_and_kamukoma_isnt_canon_and_never/

She first posted the essay in early September of 2022. However, as you can see in the screenshot, there is a large gap in-between other fics she posted, indicating either a long hiatus between posting, or the deletion of something that came out in-between it.

As of this point, I haven't been able to guess exactly why she deleted it. One answer I've come up with is that she finally listened to all the people telling her to stop posting in the komahina tag, but that's hard to believe, given how badly Mizumi still tries to defend that choice to this day.

But the AO3 version of the """essay""" isn't the thing I'm actually interested in. Rather, it's the comments ON the essay I wanted to see.

I made a post a while ago that contained screenshots of @officially-christy breaking off her friendship with mizumi. That conversation took place ON mizumi's ao3 essay, and now, with the essay deleted, it's no longer possible to actually SEE the comments themselves.

But that's not all. Mizumi made two posts on reddit, this one, and this one, about one or some of the comments she received on her ao3 essay. But now, tracking down the source of what she's talking about is practically impossible. Take for example, the second reddit post. A bingo card of all the insults she allegedly received on the essay. Without links or screenshots of these comments, how does she expect anyone to trust her and take her word seriously when she doesn't even have the sources to back up her claims?

Or with the first reddit post. How are we supposed to find that commenter's account and click on their profile to see if they're an actual person (cuz, yeah, some people in fandoms ARE crazy enough to fake having DID), OR just a sock-puppet/Mizumi's friend made for the express purpose of farming internet pity points? (especially since you can make a valid case for the commenter talking with the same speaking style as mizumi; same poor grammar and spelling, same feeling of superiority to others, etc.)

This is just one problem with mizumi; how willing she is to just... delete her old content, without bothering to back it up or archive it. It's such a waste, especially since it makes it impossible to actually track down and debunk/verify her claims of being "harassed and insulted" (Although, given mizumi's track-record, I highly doubt any of the people in the comment harassed/insulted her, and am more willing to believe it was the other way around, but, oh well, looks like we'll never know).

If anyone out there has a link to an archive of the ao3 version of the essay, comments and all, then please let me know so I can update you all on it.

And Mizumi, if you're reading this (I know you lurk on this blog), I'm only gonna say this once: if you actually want other people online to believe your claims of being harassed or whatever, then STOP DELETING THINGS THAT WILL ACTUALLY HELP YOU BACK UP SAID CLAIMS WITH SOURCES!

#mizumikahago #mizumi kahago #danganronpa #reddit link #ao3 link #link #ao3 fanfic #archive of our own #ao3 stuff #srsly I don't understand how are someone could be THIS stupid?! #this is the most blatant example of someone not realizing that once something is on the internet it's there forever #you cant just delete it like it never existed #it's always gonna crop back up #so what's even the point in TRYING to delete it?? #and yes mizumi one day people WILL ask you to back up your claims of being harassed #don't think you can just lie about everything forever #when the time comes and you have to defend youself and NO ONE will be there to back you up #you're gonna wish you hadn't deleted all the evidence #your friends are all slowly leaving you after they find out what a monster you are #christy and violetta already blocked you #eventually you'll have no one on your side to fight your battles for you #so best to stop deleting and start archiving instead now

[tieressian]

the funniest bit of lore abt me is that someone drew fanart for one of my fics and that was so great and cool and i wrote two more installments to the fic that introduced kamukoma and komahina and it turns out the person who made the fanart was the famous anti-komahina fan girl who wrote an entire essay about how much it sucks

so.

im guessing they don’t like the fic anymore

[anonzentimes]

For comedy, Komahina divorces befor getting together. In reality, it wasn’t as if you guys stop reaching out. I mean nagito is a confusing guy and the fact Haijime was confused makes sense. I wanna drop a mini essay but I gotta take my snickerdoodle cookies out soon n sleep so just know thoughts r brewin

I AWAIT THOSE THOUGHTS BEING COOKED also i would love to inform you that you sent this on the moment of my birthday

Op, I am so sorry for the amount of comments you get about the descriptions being biased, despite not writing them yourself

I'm the one who wrote the komahina one, and i kinda feel guilty now, I thought my description was already short, but I kinda wrote more than I thought I did-

Hahahaha

No I think I should apologize for this. I really wish I could have credited you.

I wanted the submission to be anonymous, so I didn't include a section for usernames on the submission forms. At the time, I didn't think I'd include the context with the ships, because no other tournaments I've seen have done that.

And then I saw all the passionate essays people wrote and I thought "it'd be a shame if people voting doesn't get to see these", but tracking down who wrote what would be too difficult.

Anyway I'm accepting a fresh batch of submissions for context blurbs for round 2, cause I think it does help some people who'd like to know a bit more before making a decision, and it acts as a good sell-point for your ship even if it doesn't sway votes.

If anyone would like me to include yours again, feel free to resubmit it. It does have an optional section for name, so I can give credits properly this time.

[revengeromance]

ugh okay when I was 15 and special interested on danganronpa I wrote an essay on why I personally think komahina the ship is more than semi canon which is it’s fandom wiki definition and idk maybe i was cooking but i still get comments on the google doc i need to delete it I’m not one of y’all 😭🙏🏽

[catboymoments]

komahina antis r really weird… like there was this one guy on here who wrote an essay about “why komahina is horrible” and had the audacity to advertise it as “the objective truth” when their entire argument literally boiled down to “I think nagito is evil and irredeemable and I have a personal vendetta against hajime”. the least nuanced thing I’ve ever read. why would I listen to an essay written by a guy with the approximate emotional intelligence of a brick…komahina antis are weird

MAN

[hajimesbestdefender]

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

chapter 5: stats

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.

also, as someone pointed out in the comments: kokichi & suichi just have a lot more screen time tg. kokichi made it to chapter 5 & kaede made it to chapter 1 so theres more content to work off.

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 left it alone, but i happened to see it whilst on a 2 hour car ride to thanksgiving and i was bored as shit. sue me.)

EDIT: i came back to this because kendrick dropped euphoria and the hating he did in that song reminded me of my greatest hating moment: this post

[sleepykamukura]

hi, i run a blog dedicated to calling out MizumiKahago (the person who made 3 excessively long hate-essays against komahina), and I was wondering if you had a link to the twitter post you made calling them out? (I think the one where you called them a "weirdo?")

hi yes here’s the thread where i detail all of it

here’s my original post that started it

just wanted to note because this info isn’t exactly told in the post : she called me (a gay trans guy) a delusional yaoi fangirl for liking kamukoma , also replied to an ask about me saying me and my friends are a “circlejerk” (which i feel is inappropriate because i’m a minor and some of my friends in said circle are adults) and also stating i was “jerking myself off on another platform” (again, minor)

i read the doc on your page & this isn’t really significant compared to the stuff on there so sorry if its a time-waster ‘^_^

#heavy topic #⛓️

[mizumi-kahago]

In response to @k0m4 (Part 1/2)

@k0m4 

Alright, lets get this started:

Hajime is not a Tsundere. Watch the Video linked in my essay. Nagito and Monokuma saying so tease him/make fun of him. You really trust these two characters specifically who do nothing but lying and deceiving? Hajime compares Nagito to Monokuma and first-hand experiences that Nagito would lie to him without a second thought.

Chapter 1 Relationship was basically Nagito over talking everyone else, and showing Hajime around. You can smell his fakeness with every little wicked smile he pulled, before peeling off that masquerade and showing his true face. You can also smell Hajime’s distaste for him, from the very first interaction they have.

I  do not see any parallels between Makoto and Sayaka with Nagito and Hajime. If anything Nagito believes he’s to Hajime what Kyoko used to be to Makoto. If anything. I also don’t remember Hajime vaguely saying anything along the lines of: “I will protect you.” or “We’ll get out of here, I promise” during Chapter 1 nor the Prologue specifically towards Nagito. Comparing Sayaka and Makoto to Hajime and Nagito is just a strawman argument. I’m sorry, but there’s no similarity, at all.

However this is how Hajime feels after seeing Nagito’s true face after Chapter 1:

Concerning Chapter 3, here Hajime clearly states: He’s more worried about Mikan than Nagito. Throughout the entire Chapter he’s dismissive of Nagito. While Nagito is sick, and Hajime knows its the liar disease, he just leaves him be, not giving a second thought of Nagito’s health. Does any of this looks like Hajime really cares?

Later on in the Chapter Hajime even explicitly tells Nagito to go away again (multiply times on top of that), because he’s in the way. Hajime is wary of him and his ill intentions.

Ah yes, the infamous Chapter 5. While I agree, that Hajime’s thoughts are very conflicted on Nagito’s death, more than anything Hajime’s thoughts ooze of anger and frustration with Nagito. He still thinks the worst of Nagito and very repelled having to investigate his body.

About the Hope Arc, as I said in my essay: They can be friends, built on mutual respect, but not lovers. This is my personal opinion: Their chemistry doesn’t even match, at all. As much as Nagito needs therapy, Hajime is still in love with Chiaki and grieves her deeply. None of them are ready for any type of relationship yet. Additionally they both still have ptsd from what transcended during the killing game which can not be magically undone or healed over night by a supposing “happy ending”, or whatever you think suddenly cured them both from their trauma and turned them into healthy people.

On a side note: Love doesn’t really have a place during a killing game. There are much deeper topics to focus on. Such as the core topics of the game.

I don’t know where in the game you are seeing Hajime crushing on Nagito, but there’s nothing in the game that even suggests that. As already proven by my screenshots above its rather the opposite. But of course, if you twist everything into “Hajime is just a tsundere”, then yeah then you see it that way.

The following his heavy theory territory, but: Nagito’s ingame behavior is in stark contrast to his anime behavior, and can be explained that he still had some despair left in him. However while I can not 100% prove it, I think it’s vital to Nagito’s character, that he is “hope obsessed” and has a “Hope-radar” (the same way Junko has a “Despair Radar”), he can sense the hope in people (aka Hajime/Izuru, Makoto).

His entire character revolved around the ideology that Hope equals Talent. Talent is everything he wants and strives for. But I know Nagito fans, especially those who ship Komahina, love to erase that part of his character and frankly, at that point: Make two OC’s, name them Hajime and Nagito and bang them together. That’s how you yaoi fangirls twist and bend characters to your liking, to fit your narrative.

protagonists for the character questionnaire!

Oh goodness I hope you’re ready for another essay

Makoto my dear boy

Favourite thing? He’s the most some guy ever. Just a little creature. He’s so relatable because who among us hasn’t been in a situation where we feel wildly outclassed and surrounded by people who are cooler and more talented than us? Despite everything he just keeps going, what a legend

Least favourite is people who are wrong about him. How does anyone play that game and say he’s a nothing character? I just don’t get it, stop disrespecting my son

Honestly he’s got way more excellent lines than people give him credit for, but my favourite has to be “I always choose meat over veggies because I’m still in my teens… my meat teens.” Like WHAT are you talking about king I love it

Brotp probably him and Aoi. It’s the positivity besties

Otp is Naegiri. There’s just so much mutual respect between them and the story does a great job of writing them together that I can’t help but love him

Notp is probably just him with anyone that’s not kirigiri, or togami really. Whilst I personally hc Byakuya as aroace I do get why people ship naegami and I do think it’s kinda hilarious

I hc that him and Komaru are besties. Absolutely attached at the hip. They hang out all the time and he loves doing stuff with her, and is so so excited to introduce her to his new friends

The song I associate with him most is Fireflies by Owl City

Favourite art of him is the one where he’s tripping and his shoe just flies the fuck off. What a silly little man I love him

Hajime my beloved (I’m gonna be normal I swear)

To put it as succinctly as possible, he is just my favourite type of guy. He’s such a bitch, he’s so snarky about everything, he’s simultaneously the smartest and dumbest person in any given room, and he actually cares very deeply for things but he won’t readily admit to it. He’s got one of the more interesting arcs to me and in general I find him very relatable. He’s the best, my favourite protagonist probably

Least favourite is maybe less about him and more about Izuru Kamukura, and that is how underused he was. Obviously this is an opinion many people know about me, but it bears repeating because the concept of Kamukura was SO COOL and they barely even touched it and I’m mad about it every single day

Another guy that has so many good lines, but I think my favourite is “I thought I’d finally become someone I could be proud of, not some fucking backup student.” It just hits me so hard every time

Brotp probably him and Fuyuhiko or him and Impostor. I just think those three are the ones in the group with the highest sense of responsibility and they are the tired parents of this silly goofy pack of weirdos

Otp. It’s Komahina. Everyone knows this about me and I will refrain from writing an entire essay about why but suffice it to say. They are prefect

Notp is really anyone who’s not Komaeda, but specifically Nanami and Tsumiki are big on the No list for me

I have so many headcanons that my adhd brain can’t even begin to process them in a cohesive way, so I’ll just say that emo-punk autistic Hinata is my absolute beloved. Also man’s definitely has an anxiety disorder. And nooooo I’m definitely not projecting why do you ask

Unpopular opinion (so far the only character I’ve had one for) is that he’s not bi, he’s just gay. And look I love headcanoning every character ever as bi (again tooooootally not projecting) but whenever I replay/rewatch the game I see him being so gay about the men and being so uninterested in the girls (excepted for the super-forced hinanami stuff that I ignore)

I have sooooo many songs so I had to think about this a lot but I think I’m gonna say the best Hinata song is Life Less Frightening by Rise Against

Every image is the best image of him but specifically this one is so good

He’s fucking tired of this shit and he wants to be done with this despair nonsense and I love him for it

Shuichi Saihara, whom I am also normal about

It’s so hard to pinpoint why I love Saihara so much, but I think part of it is the fact that underneath his anxious exterior, he is actually very snarky. I’m always a slut for the sarcastic characters and I like the he is that as well as being generally polite to his classmates. He cares deeply and has a tendency to overthink things (totally not relatable) and I just need to give this poor man a HUG

Least favourite thing is how he interacts with Ouma in the canon outside of ftes. A good example of this being when he finds Ouma bleeding from the head on the floor and doesn’t seem to show any actual concern for him, which seems very out of character to me. I just think there was a lot more they could’ve done to build a connection between protag and antag that would’ve served to make the story more interesting, much the way the relationship between Hinata and Komaeda does

Short and sweet, my favourite Saihara line is simply “I refuse.” I am a big supporter of the idea that Shuichi should’ve been allowed to go a little crazy in chapter 6, and his whole telling off hope and despair speech was very fun. He really went “fuck you and your stupid game” and I just love it

Brotp has gotta be Kaito and Maki. I love the training trio and I think they have a great dynamic

Otp is saiouma. And yes I know I just raised a complaint about their lacklustre interactions in the game, but hey, canon can’t hurt me if I don’t look. There is a lot of potential for excellent character dynamics and that’s what I’m gonna focus on

Notp is saimatsu. Sorry anyone who likes them but it’s so comphet to me. Again, that is a gay boy and a lesbian, not a romantic couple

I hc that he really likes singing. Not to a professional degree or anything, but he does it while he works and it serves as a calming vocal stim for him. His voice is definitely very soft and sweet, which doesn’t lend itself well to his preferred genre of music (my sweet sweet emo boy) but that doesn’t stop him from trying

Again, so many songs I could choose from, but I will go with Swing Life Away by Rise Against because he’s just my sweet guy, my love, my boy

And once more, every image of Shuichi is my favourite, but I very specifically love his Serious Face sprite

I guess the takeaway is I like it when the protags get serious and start to shut shit down
