(TW: I*cest mentions)

First, I'm saying this disclaimer because I've been told that I sound shitty sometimes in text. So, to avoid tonal confusion: This is a genuine question born from confusion, nothing else.

You selfship with a Danganronpa character who is in an incestuous relationship, who has dialogue acknowledging the i*cest and saying they don't care and still want to pursue it, but you also have 'pr*ship dni' on your profile? (I'm also anti-pr*ship, just so we're clear.) I'm just a little confused as to why? Isn't it super uncomfortable to selfship with a character who canonically has those views?

(cw for discussions of incest, abuse, and implied csa)

I understand your question comes from a place of confusion but genuinely. this is quite rude. considering you could have just... took a trip to his tags and gathered that he's a victim. also, this is very plainly said on his wiki.

however I will indulge you, in case anyone else who follows me was wondering this.

Kiyo's an example of an imperfect victim. he acknowledges that people "don't understand" the relationship he has with her, but at the same time, acts like this is the most normal thing in the world. this is how abuse works.

I don't talk about his sister very often here for obvious reasons (because she's an abuser), but I'll lightly touch on why shes abusive, even though he never says she is. another thing; just because someone (real or fictional) doesn't claim they were abused, doesn't mean they weren't. and also, just because the writers didn't intend to write him as a victim doesn't mean he isn't. intention ≠ interpretation. not the best example (since I just woke up) if someone decided to make a character who looked like a dog, acted like a dog, and sounded like a dog, but they insisted the character was a human, would that make them a human? no that's a fucking dog. so, keep that in mind. just because he never says he's a victim doesn't mean he isn't.

we don't know much about his sister other than she's sick, she's older than him, and he kills people for her. he says in this trial that since she was so sick and couldn't form relationships with other people that he had to act as her brother and her boyfriend. after her death, he started killing people to send to her in the afterlife to befriend her. that idea doesn't just... pop into your head. there's not solid proof that she manipulated him into this (other than. you don't just. wake up one morning and go "I'm gonna kill ppl to send to my dead sister"), however, we do know she controlled him in other ways, like how she made his entire uniform for him, saying his previous one "didn't suit him". this also helps defend against the "well if shes so sick, how is she abusive?"she could hand make an entire uniform for him. also, anyone can be abusive. that's a peculiar rhetoric to spread around.

another thing you don't just wake up one morning and do is engage in an incestuous relationship with your older sister. incest does not exist in a vacuum. incest is also inherently abusive because of the power dynamics. she's older than him, clearly holds some significant amount of control over him so much so that he changes his entire appearance based on her whims, and also, influenced him to become an anthropologist. he does credit her for this. and like I said, incest does not happen in a vacuum. incest between siblings most commonly occurs under extreme forms of parental neglect. not only does he never mention his parents a single time, but when she speaks through him (which I'll get to), she doesn't either. that supports the idea that, at the very least, his parents weren't around enough to know what was happening. the only person he could rely on growing up was her. clearly, his parents weren't in the picture, and still aren't.

his sister also literally fucking possessed him. so there's that. in canon, he says that she "visited him when he was doing a seance" and now she effectively possesses him. the other theories (not canon, but, would make sense) include that the sister that speaks through him is an alter, she's some form of tulpa, or that she is simply a delusion. so, here's the run down of that. if you believe the canon, that this is literally her spirit possessing him, her dialogue is, in my opinion, upsetting. to say the least. and this is how she was when she was alive. if you believe that she's an alter and that he's a system, that leads to the fact that he was abused from an early age. if you believe that she's some kind of tulpa or personality that he manufactured, no one who is mentally well and has a positive relationship with the person theyre manufacturing would do that with someone. or, if you believe that she's simply a delusion, delusions can have stemmed from trauma. there's really no option that paints her well. let's just follow canon, for the sake of this post, and read some of the things she says. here's two pieces of dialogue from her that really cement the "she's not a good person" idea in my mind;

"Sweet Korekiyo, calm yourself... Their words are all hollow. There is no meaning to any of them... You must teach these ignorant children a lesson."

"Calm yourself, Korekiyo. You mustn't raise your voice. You mustn't stutter. You mustn't lose composure. You mustn't become flustered. You mustn't waver. Look at their horrid faces. This sorry lot is not worth agonizing over."

maybe it's just the tone she says this in in the game (which unfortunately I can hear perfectly in my brain <\3), but not only does it sound deeply unnerving, what she says is unsettling as well. her usage of "you must" when she speaks to him holds this air of authority of his head. her words and tone are positively dripping with a false sense of sweetness and affection. she's saying, "calm down, don't stutter. don't lose your composure. look at them." it's very commanding. and this is her dialogue around other people. you can imagine how she acts when it's just them alone.

this may have been some kind of hallucination or something that was faked by monokuma, but she also threw salt on his spirit when he was being executed. she got what she wanted from him, and now he's useless to her.

I had more I was going to say, but, honestly this has both drained and upset me. mainly because as a victim myself who viewed my abuser similarly, reading things like "he didn't care, he chose to pursue it" rings similar to shit I've had said about myself. again I know this was a genuine question but his tags and his wiki are at your disposal. his wiki is long, however there's an entire section dedicated to her. to answer your question, no, shipping with him is not uncomfortable because he "holds different beliefs" than me. he was abused, I was, we both touted out abusers as saviors (another thing he says about her, that she "saved" him).

yea that's all I have to say for now. I'm quite drained. if uhh,,, if anyone read this and doesn't think Kiyo is a victim and is just a freak then. uhm. never come back here again . hope the door bruises both ya butt cheeks on the way out.

who'd call proofreading an artform on its own?

[gojoest]

the second you tell satoru you’re pregnant, he vanishes — like, literally teleport-level gone — and reappears hours later with bags. so many bags. you’re pretty sure he cleared out an entire mall. he crashes into the bedroom like a tornado, tossing baby clothes in the air like it’s confetti, yelling “LOOK HOW TINY THIS IS!” every five seconds.

he’s cutting tags with his teeth, trying to fold onesies that end up looking like abstract art, and humming this completely off-key, made-up song about being “papa gojo, coolest dad in the world!” he’s glowing. absolutely unhinged. but glowing.

but then — then — there’s this tiny shift in him. he’s folding a soft little sleeper set, lips still curled in a smile, but his hands move a little slower. more gentle. he runs a thumb across the tiny little sleeve like he’s imagining holding someone impossibly small. his voice drops to a soft hum, and the ridiculous song fades into something quieter. warmer.

“i can’t believe there’s going to be a whole person… half me, half you. that’s wild”, he says, like it’s finally sinking in. his lips quiver slightly, his eyes soft.

you sit next to him, nudging him on the arm. “our baby will have the most extra dad on the planet”

“well of course”, he grins, his eyes glassy now. “i’m going to be so annoying. they’re going to roll their eyes every time i show up to school wearing sunglasses and a #1 dad’s shirt”

you smirk. “you mean you’re not already planning matching outfits?”

“oh i already ordered them”, he says proudly. “we’re going to slay preschool drop-off”

you laugh, but you also reach out and lace your fingers with his, both of you surrounded by little shoes, tiny clothes, toys, pacifiers, and a whole lot of love wrapped in absolute chaos.

i hate this dude , worst ninja to ever go or something . they should take him out

[isatartdump]

WARNING FOR. Idk it may be a little suggestive. May. They just touch a whole lot and I dunno how tumblr is about non sexual touchyness of this caliber and I may have drawn them kissing too

Explode me if too much for this site, amen sorry chat

Now for the the The thing I had in my brain for at least two months and only got into drawing now. Dialogue may be off, its not a thing I do often

Its out of my brain now. Amen.

Also in line for silly stupid headcanons;

Loop pulsates (so you can feel their heartbeat before you touch them but you have to be close enough) like a star and instead of hearing their heartbeat you just hear something like the sun sonification thing that nasa did a while ago.

It sounds a lot like a microwave but for everyone there it would sound so weird, at best. Scary at worst...

Loop can't hear it mostly for the same reasons we usually don't hear our body functioning; It just filters out. A panic attack or anything of that kind would be so extra terrifying, though

Just noticed I forgot Loop's tail in one of the sketches. Oopsies
