A very surface level pre-in-and post game timeline!

Notes/my interpretation of the ending under cut :)

Pretty much for my interpretation of v3 i like to think that dr1 and 2 are canon, and like any other historical event, the tragedy got dozens of documentaries and similar shows based on the events! So pregame shuichi is essentially a hamilton fan. Of course, some of junkos fangirls and boys decided to make their own killing games! Their own fangans if you will. Obviously, kidnapping kids (especially ultimates) and putting them in a killing game is a huge big nono for so many legal and ethical reasons. So if you get kids who WILLINGLY sign up for a game that just simulates a killing game, then its totally fine, right? Well apparently because they got to season 53 before the participants broke out! Since team danganronpa couldnt ACTUALLY kill these kids (</3) they just simulated it, so with a few camera tricks, a shit ton of fake (pink) blood, and fuckery using the flashback lights, they just pretended the people were killed, while in reality they were -this- close to death before being pulled away quickly and rushed to a hospital!

So the end of the game goes pretty similarly, Tsumugi is spitting out tons of bullshit trying to pull this show she was trusted with back together and keep it entertaining, the trio escapes not knowing everyone's in the hospital. The three (i like including kiibo too, idk how to explain how he survived, ig they dragged him out when they ran and saved up to fix him) hide from team dr and just live their lived, getting jobs and sharing like a superrr crappy apartment. Idk how! But somehow! The survivors and the people in the hospital all reunite and they have a nice happily ever after<3

Side note: why would any of the cast think that pink blood was REAL blood? I personally think its REALLY funny if it's because the flashback lights led them to believe blood is and always has been pink, like can you imagine post game cast watching a horror movie like "????"

So.... what are your thoughts on Ace's UM, if you haven't been asked this already?

sneaky magic for the sneakiest boy

no but really, I think it fits him really well! I had thought his UM would probably involve something kinda sleight-of-handy or pickpockety! and I looooved that it made such a nice loop-around back to episode 1. ❤️ I was. kind of half-expecting him to just run out and punch Riddle in the nose again. but instead this time 'twas he who offed the queen's head! it was great! and he did it while stone-cold terrified out of his mind! because Ace is the only remotely normal or well-adjusted person at NRC and therefore the only one who is like "we're going to literally die, this is super effed up". but he did it anyway!!!! I AM SO PROUD

Zuko's eyes watered against his will when the ghost of a woman he did not know smiled at him like he was her child.

Zuko decided right there and then that maybe, just maybe, this too was something he came to find.

Ghost-Mother takes a look into Zuko's soul in For the Spirits Chapter IX: A Rider Alone.

More than a stranded soul, Kya holds all the love of the Old Tribe and the means to calm a coming tempest. Zuko won't ever forget her.

i know it will never happen but i so desperately desire an origins-type playable backstory thing in all games but especially veilguard. i feel like it added so much depth to origins and made you feel instantly connected to your character in a way that gets lost in games like inquisition where you fill in the blanks as you go except for the bare basics. like, i do enjoy the freedom to willy nilly decide where a character was before the events of the story from a creative perspective, but the playable origins were just so good! especially when you go back to where your warden is from and can engage differently with the arcs there

Fuck all the lofty pipe dream goals or dead-easy resolutions. My 2025 plan is to dress better. Get more clothes I like wearing. Invest more in my outward expression. By end of the year I need to be looking like a character from the killer.

BRING YOUR OC TO THE DINER!

Does anyone remember those old fandom fads of "everyone puts their OCs in the same picture so it looks like they're hanging out"? No? Well I'm bringing it back anyway :]

Ann and the diner is waiting for their patrons!! Feel free to add in your OC if you want to participate! ♥ (Make sure to pick the most recent addition to the post to edit with your own character, so we can slowly fill out this very empty diner :D)

I've made it so the background is easily loopable on the left side if there's ever a need to make it bigger... Had to cheat with perspective to make it work though but it's not too jarring i think :']

Empty variants of the background below the cut just in case:

One of the most fundamentally interesting things to me about YJ and writing fic, specifically, is how the blame changes hands depending on the story. On whose perspective you're writing from. On whose story it is at a given moment. The very thing I dislike about viewers missing the point becomes so fascinating to me from within the narrative. Who are these characters when seen through the eyes of their peers?

Who does Jackie become? If you're Shauna, she's the love of your life, and your greatest rival, and the other half of your soul, and the person you blame for your dead dreams. If you're Van, she's the respected captain who earns none of your respect in the woods, the one who left you to die without blinking, the easiest target for teenage malice. If you're Natalie, she's competition for affection, the blabbermouth who can't leave well enough alone, the hands putting themselves to no good use. If you're Jackie? You're just a girl. You're so tired. You're so scared. You're losing face a little more every day, and you're made of despair, and you can't even trust your best friend. It's not your fault. It's not your fault. It's not your fault.

Who does Lottie become? If you're Natalie, she's your direct foil, the splinter under the edge of your thumbnail, the smart mouth to match your own, the confusing amalgamation of normal friend and mad ritual. If you're Misty, she's the first shred of obvious power in months, a leader who might need to be nudged back into line, a fascinating exercise in hitching your wagon to the right star early on. If you're Taissa, she's flat-nuts and endlessly frustrating, she's got your girlfriend's full attention, she's incredibly dangerous. If you're Lottie? You're just a girl. You're so tired. You're so scared. You've built a pedestal you can't keep your balance on, and you're not sure if you're right or going crazy, and you didn't want this. It's not your fault. It's not your fault. It's not your fault.

From outside the narrative, there is no bad guy. There is no blame. It is no one's fault. It is Man v. Nature, they are doing the best they can with an impossible situation. They're all trying to contribute what they can to the story, for better or worse.

From inside the narrative, you are a teenager trapped in a society constructed entirely of bare-bones-survival with the wildest assortment of girls. From inside the narrative, to stay human, you have to love and fight, respect and judge. Every story changes the game. Every story shifts the blame. A hero in one has the bloodiest hands in the next. And that, to me, is such a thrilling sandbox to play in.
