okay now can we PLEASE be chill and normal when i say this? Im not defending canon junko, not saying anything about her, just saying what i as someone who enjoys these concepts of the danganronpa characters and writing characters believe is more compelling

Okay. Junko Enoshima. ICONIC character, shes not the most cosplayed character for nothing, but shes also very... characterless? She has NOTHING really going for her at all. In thh we see mukuro, not her, so we dont learn much there, and every other time we see her its all "despair despair despair" which is FINE, keep her on topic, but i just cant help but feel like she could be a better villain if her motivation was more than just "boreddd!" or her personality was more than despair, bored, and fashion diva.

Danganronpa, to be fair, isnt the best at characterization, especially for its female characters. It falls into the tricky trap of making the characters. Well. *character* all around their talent. I see this a lot with danganronpa oc's! Dr like to throw one or two personality traits at one of the 16 characters and top it with the figurative talent bow and some tragic, needlessly dark and trope filled most the time, backstory. (Ex: himiko- sleepy, likes tenko and angie, mage. Done. I understand she CAN be written deeper, but i only ever see that done by fans, in game she and so many other characters are so shallowly written)

So how does this apply to Junko? Well, like i said earlier, her whole shtick without being the shsl despair is shes a fashion diva, she has an opposite twin (ive never seen any of the animes, does any of that ever get explained? The last name thing, looking totally different, anything? I dont remember it, but i could be totally overlooking something) and shes kind of a bitch

That is. SO boring. Her design is the only thing going for her, its cute, her monokuma clips and pigtails are iconic and adorable, sure im keeping that the same. But by the GODS give me something to work with!! If i asked anyone to make me someone who looks like a fashionista theyd give me 50 copies of junko i assure you. The personality is so nothing to me. And do not get me STARTED on her despair motivation, that comes later, NOW we rewrite her personality.

Im not totally renovating her, dont worry, just SOMETHING compelling, so not including any despair stuff i think Junko is absolutely the straight girl who compliments your shoes and then giggles to her friends, someone who winks and smiles sweetly before clawing her way to the top. I like to think she and mukuro are similar in that way, that theyre both ruthless to get what they want

For her backstory, she obviously came from a rich family. Like look at her. Again, no clue on most of her and mukuros actual backstory because it made me gag reading two lines in but to explain the last name change and different childhoods, i think they were seperated at birth. Mukuro living in a poorer area, growing up fighting tooth and nail and becoming the soldier she is, and Junko fighting tooth and nail in her mansion for every drop of attention she could get. Then, somehow, mukuro was introduced to junko with the knowledge that they're twin sisters as young kids/tweens maybe. Mukuro seems more introverted and almost shy, so junko wouldve probably used that to her advantage somehow, both elated to have a sister (she more than likely had plently of empty friends she just kept around, but a *sister* is different! That's what she thought at least) and angered by the lack of attention. She seems like the older sibling who lies to your face and tricks you as a prank, just for giggles. I can definitely see her liking pranks. She OBVIOUSLY has so many disorders, including rich spoiled and/or neglected child disorder (this wouldve been a fun detail to parallel with togami somewhere too!) but i think the lack of treatment on that wouldve caused her to spiral more and more, not understanding WHY she wants to hurt people or cause chaos, but doing it anyway and acting out more and more as an outlet. Attention, positive and negitive both, she cant tell the difference, is all she really wants at the end of the day i think.

Ok. Designs. I said i wouldnt change it, and im not, just adding small details here and there. Firstly they look hella different for being "identical" sisters (i assume anyways) which i KNOW is possible but youll rip the "junko dyes her hair that color" headcanon from my cold dead hands, she has black hair and freckles too she just wont show it. Also! In offical art her eyes go from blue to grey to whatever colors all the time so im also headcanoning that she and mukuro have grey eyes, but junko puts blue contacts in. Cant be a fashionista without looking the part, she always reminds herself!

Alright. Second to last we can do this. This ones my least favorite though. Her and mukuro. You can manipulate someone without sexually assaulting them, i assure you. Shes smart enough to be able to, obviously, im sure shes seduced people in the past but theres no point to throwing that in there as another reason to hate her. She kills people!!!! She ran a killing game!!! Obviously she sucks!!! Its never stated in game and they have to shoehorn it in, its stupid and im getting rid of it. Its not like korekiyo where its a lot of his motivations and backstory, the enoshima/ikusaba incest detail is so unnecessary and gross. Similarly to korekiyo, its awfully done too. Its not representing a tragic abuse story between sisters, its another "oh, but dont you hate this character sooo much?" throwaway buzzword. Im ignoring it, its stupid.

Last one!! Her despair motivation!! Okay, her being "bored" is sooo whatever. Youre not izuru, you can pick up a hobby or two. What. Go watch a movie. Get a job. I wasnt really sure what to do here so my rewrite would lean into her desperate need for attention, as well as whatevers wrong with her head wanting to hurt people/see people hurting as an outlet. She has mukuro who had hurt people so so often as a soldier by her side and said. "Wow. Im a god. I can do whatever i want. I wonder if i *could* do this" and then she fucking did?? Im sure her parents were like super big governmental people, and mukuro seems like she loves her sister a lot (IN A NORMAL WAY. POINTS TO ABOVE PARAGRAPH.) and if she was given puppy dog eyes would go. "Sigh. Yeah okay we can try to end the world." And gave her the military related information she had. Junko was bored, fucked in the head, wanted attention, and most of all. She COULD do it. So why wouldnt she?

Dont think she regrets it at all, she likes feeling bad because its new, its unpredictable, shes felt GOOD in her privileged life and she wants to hurt others and herself now, i mean, she said she was going to kill herself before she created the tragedy

Ok!!!!! Thats it!!!!! If you read this far im kissing you on the lips, i wrote this in one sitting so im soo sorry if any of this is confusing or whatever, feel free to add your own headcanons, thoughts, whatevers, or send me an ask about it! Love hearing people talk about my ramblings :3

Strade with an autistic mc?

One of my characters has low functioning autism. She’s really sensitive to bright, noisy light and cold air. (It could trigger a meltdown). Her special interests are stuffed animals, especially if they’re big and cuddly, and apple slices.

She’s not really great at verbal communication especially when she scared or nervous. She’s good at physical communication tho? Expressions?

Also she’s part tanuki soooo do whatever you want with that.

autism gang rise up

i'm gonna make this a headcanon post cus i've written something adjacent to this for strade before (cw for. strade lol)

ren 🦊

suddenly he is the sweetest boy in the world

like so kind, so patient, so sweet

you're out in public and get triggered by bright lights, loud noises, you have a meltdown? ren is literally dragging you out and making sure you're okay

he's speaking to you so sweetly, so gently, he won't touch you if you don't want him to

he's just so patient with you

kind of like...he's the only person who really understands you? the world is so cruel and mean to people like you...and you're so sweet and gentle, you shouldn't be out there...you should be with me, you should let me take care of you...nobody else will

manipulating king. gaslighting king

to be fair he does win your affection with stuffed animals and like. good sensory stuff. blankets, pillows. got a whole autism nest goin

he'll replace all the lights in the house too

doesn't mind when you stim by touching his tail or ears. it just makes him curl into you that much more <3

and like obviously he's doing this cus he's a horny monster that wants you to depend on him

but he does genuinely just want someone to care for

like even if you can't make eye contact all the time, or if you don't understand what he says or tells you sometimes, he'd still be so patient

he knows you struggle with that stuff, and you're doing your best. that's all he asks for <3

law 🥀

autism 4 autism

law is so autistic, are you kidding.

granted their autism manifests kind of differently though. they got the liveleaks autism, the monotone drawl autism, the twin peaks autism (me too)

but like. providing that you survived the first night (cus they might not be able to stop themselves from just watching you wilt)

they'd be reasonably patient and gentle with you

i mean there's like no prolonged eye contact between you

but you'd communicate remarkably well (with what little you did actually talk)

they know how it feels to be misunderstood after all...and you're so delicate and need to be cared for

they wouldn't. totally understand your special interests (cus they like bones and taxidermy and roadkill) but they wouldn't be able to stop themselves from buying a few soft toys

you just look so sweet and comfortable when they leave you for work, why would they deprive you of that?

they might panic if you started having a meltdown, but they'd eventually clue in and. get you settled down (give them a break, they have meltdowns too)

and like. autism 4 autism...you know there's some sadomasochism happening. good for you! good for you...

strade 🔨

i mean. i've written it so. lol

strade would be such an asshole i'm so sorry

like come on you've come preloaded with triggers and buttons he could push to make you panic and freak out. he couldn't NOT fuck around with you

he might get a little overwhelmed himself by how much he likes fucking around with you. it's just so easy

keep a few bright lights on, play some music too loud, put on the air conditioning, that's all it takes? buddy you are NOT surviving this one

but okay okay. on the concept that you DO survive past the first night (lol)

strade would still be pretty shitty about everything

like he wouldn't yell or be mad at you for meltdowns but he would not understand in the slightest (and you know his ass is not looking anything up to make it easier)

it would kind of be on ren to make adjustments (changing lights, reminding him about your sensitivities) and like. maybe then he'd pay attention to some shit

he's better with your special interests and sensory needs tbh. he might even think it's kind of cute that you infodump when you're excited or curl up with blankets and soft toys

that doesn't mean he's not gonna fuck with you though lol.

also. full german stare at all times. will trigger your conversation sensitivity at all time. he loves it.
