I've been following @druidposting's DR2 playthrough on discord and we just had a really good discussion about DR's Closing Arguments. Specifically the way the murderer is depicted as grey and featureless, which until now I found a bit annoying.
In Danganronpa it's repeatedly the case that we don't have the full picture until the talking actually stops- which always goes beyond the end of the trial. We generally vote first and come to understand what the murderer's actual motive was, sometimes filling in important pieces of the timeline in the process, afterwards.
But none of that matters for the killing game because characters' emotions aren't directly relevant to who was the 'blackened'- the only thing that matters to Monokuma- so it comes out afterwards and does nothing to change their execution. It doesn't matter how sympathetic they are (basically everyone) or whether other people share responsibility for the situation (eg. Hanamura, Pekoyama, Momota) or whether they intended to murder at all (Nanami). They objectively pulled the trigger and nothing else matters. Nothing about them as a person matters.
The Closing Argument mechanic might illustrate that problem- literally. They're a dramatic, conclusive summary of the entire case... constructed before the vote even happens, before we know if we're actually right, and they're missing something really important:
The actual perpetrator.
We quite literally don't even begin to see the real person behind the crime, any real exploration of their mental state, anything besides the cold, hard facts of the murder that are necessary to convict them, until the comic finishes and the protagonist makes their final accusation- replacing the grey figure with their real appearance in a shot that's often intensely emotional.
And these comics lack crucial parts of the case's timeline and sometimes important parts of the very scenes they depict that we only find out about afterwards. And those are what we know; characters may die with some pieces of the truth and prevent us from ever learning them. These aren't objective depictions of the murder, they're the protagonist's subjective attempt to connect the facts they have. A join-the-dots portrait of someone with missing dots and no colour.
Even characters' expressions may not match how they truly feel, with the grey placeholder potentially looking way more confident and sinister than they were in reality. Pasting Falter's commentary here since they put it well.
For obvious reasons this could especially be a problem for characters that die before the trial- the ones we never get a post-vote testimony from. DR1 chapter 4 really highlighted that in the way Asahina's huge misinterpretation of Oogami's feelings took up a lot of the post-trial discussion, only for Monokuma to reveal Oogami's real suicide note and recontextualise everything.
It might really be a problem for how Komaeda's depicted in DR2 chapter 5. While he isn't greyed out, we get panel after panel where he's either level-headed or maniacally evil, and even the depictions of his self-torture and death don't humanise him:
But we know that his real feelings were more complicated than that. We have his actual corpse to compare the last page to.
He died afraid.
If we approach the comic as Hinata's mental image of him instead of reality, he died without anyone truly understanding him. He was alarming, very hard to relate to, actively fought against people doing so, ensured even the killer didn't watch him die, and the survivors couldn't begin to understand his motive until a chapter later. The Closing Argument reflects that.
Early in DR1 Togami calls out the rest of his class for judging others by their own standards. However, he, too, is doing this, maybe more so than many other characters; his inability to view other people through anything but the cold, brutal logic of the killing game bites him in the ass in chapter 4. In DR2 chapter 2 voting without a good understanding of Pekoyama's motive or Kuzuryuu's involvement nearly got everyone killed. Komaeda's a walking embodiment of the problems with flattening people into caricatures and not empathising with them, suffered from people doing that back to him, and his case- the Closing Argument for which turned everyone else into grey placeholders- was impossible to solve with objective facts. It was only survivable because the survivors cooperated and one person tried to analyse things the way he would.
The games have always been a critique of the justice system and Japanese society and push us to care about others as individuals, not reduce them to- and judge their right to exist by- something they've done or their net impact on society. There are always consequences when someone neglects to do that, and the above might be yet another way the games explore that theme.
#danganronpa#dr analysis#komaedology#komaeda#.txt#sorry @ non komaedaheads for making it about komaeda again LMAO#that was not the intention initially he's just... a really good exploration of this#and i think about his expressions in that comic vs his corpse and what we retroactively knew he was dealing with a lot#btw don't send spoilers to falter please!! i'm @ing to credit them- this was a discussion not solely my ideas- but they are not done yet#and aren't reading this post until they're caught up for obvious reasons#this came from discussing ch2 since the incomplete picture people voted with nearly killed them#(btw don't @ me about komaeda's description in the second-last paragraph being an oversimplification; i know :p )#(he has nuance- especially outside of the killing game- but i'm just focusing on the thematically relevant broad strokes here)#(eg. i feel like he demonstrates empathy sometimes but kodaka has said that lack of ability to empathise/be empathised with#is a theme for him- and the ways he's been proactive in the killing game consistently lacked regard for others' feelings/individuality#reducing them to interchangeable Ultimates(TM) instead. it's partly why he self-destructed while everyone else#was able to forgive themself and keep moving forwards imo. your worth being defined rigidly by objective contributions to society#does not mesh well with the idea of rehabilitating people who've destroyed the world before they could even start to improve it#and even if he did give them a chance at surviving he still succumbed to his own ideology in the end#killed himself for 'hope' and to be 'important' like he 'wanted' but died terrified and in pain and alone instead of fulfilled#man i wish 2.5's ending/postnwp canon in general dug into that ;-; )#ANYWAY ty for reading all that. i feel like i rambled a lot in this one. i have a headache now ghdkjsfgdsf

The many ways I've drawn Sierra's eyes since Feb 2022, in rough chronological order (oldest to newest)
#warframe#mesa sierra#warframe oc#see. I'm very normal#my art#some of them have alt descriptions in case you're curious#yep Sierra at one point (she didn't have a name yet until months later) was a black brown and gold Mesa Prime and had “normal” human eyes#and it carried over once the base mesa design grew on me but it felt weird putting them on top of the bandana#given the original intent behind it#so I played around with it till it became the 3-eyed design it is rn#i'm torn between the bottom middle and bottom right#some of these drawings were definitely not included to show all the pictures in 3's :3#lotsa wips here#would you guys like me to post some of these older ones? even if I find them kinda crappy/incomplete#also ngl I should really vary my lighting setups more... apparently I use the same light beige bg a lot#imagine drawing chars consistently. cant be me#i'm happy to have drawn so much because of this rascal though#fun fact the “eyes” on her bandana are just external neuroptics#her real one is found underneath like umbra's sunder helm

I mentioned in tags before, but I actually feel very strongly about how philza cubitios build things to care about, and finds people who he cares for and is cared about, and finds things to believe in an commit to and that he not only survives but makes his life meaningful Despite the circumstances. I think its quite easy to a) miss all the ways in which his characters are often served pretty shitty circumstances, but then b) how he never let's that stop him finding purposeful and fulfilling meaning.
HC phil is deeply alone, and fills his world with motion and art and stories. He is a small person in a world of dead or abscenr gods and he makes his mark in his observations of the world and the recreations of its beauty.
DSMP Phil formed the strongest friendship on the server, stood for what he believed in and reached out to people and built a fucking Community of care and trust for people who had no where else to go. He lived, in the end, he an his lived. They got out
OSMP phil wasnt appreciated enough and was often quite isolated, but he still built for others and fought for others and committed himself to accessibility. Even the crow father could never really bring himself to cruelty he thought he believed in. And he had a close friend who stuck with him. He was shaped by fear and loneliness and need for control, but also by his loyalty and his dedication and his prowess
QSMP phil goes through hell, and is one of the most trusted, well respected and loved people on the server. Even in purgatory the team he leads is defines itself by its resistance to and acceptance of the circumstances they find themselves in, trying to find laughter and comradery where they can.
These stories are not stories of overcoming circumstances and tragedy, they're not stories of beating the odds, they're stories about finding yourself in a tragedy and standing tall and finding hope and love and care and joy and meaning within that. The ends may not always be the kindest, but they aren't what defines the story. What defines him again and again is how he cares, how he is respected and how he builds his own purpose. He makes his own happiness, even when the worlds refuse to gift him that. That can never be tragic to me.
The only cubitio who I think didn't do that as well was 30!day SMP and that's the grief of a life cut short.
#phil#enterss the fandom. immediatelt starts discourss /lh#nah but if op of the kther post sees this i think youre rigjt i just feel passjonately thay the description is incomplete#:]#philza

I’m putting this in its own post because the tags of the last one weren’t the appropriate place, and I know the spirit of what I’m saying would get misunderstood and misconstrued
But it’s my earnest belief that ALL women need to genuinely cultivate masculine attributes
And when I say ‘masculine attributes,’ I mean a sense of ‘masculine’ that is detached from sex; I do NOT mean ‘masculine’ as in ‘related to men,’ ‘man-like,’ ‘male-like,’ or ‘aesthetically man-like’
I mean masculine as: the collection of abstract and fundamentally, by-nature unsexed attributes associated with proactivity, self-sufficiency, assertiveness. boldness, self-actualization, pursuit; masculinity as the burgeoning side of humanity that exerts its own will and which exists in every human, irrespective of sex
Masculinity—again, in this sexless sense—puts you in a position of pure independence because you equip yourself with the capacity to seek and obtain by your own will; the thoughts, feelings, and opinions of others are not necessarily dismissed, but they hold no power OVER you in the sense that they no longer exert direct sway over your self-image, your self-worth, your self-conceptualization, or even your course of action
In effect: ‘your opinions have been noted, and summarily disregarded,’ which is sometimes a good thing.
Being in this position protects you more so from being in a situation where you are vulnerable, dependent, or beholden to someone else's will, either because you are too concerned about their opinions, or because you doubt too much the validity of your own, or because you place greater value on the thoughts of others, or simply do not trust yourself to be capable of both making and recovering from mistakes
And, if the use of ‘masculine’ for these attributes is bothersome or disagreeable (as it was for me, until I mentally eliminated its fundamental tie to men*), you can easily just replace it with the phrase self-actualization, or whatever other synonym you prefer — I just think that doing so tends to feed into the same false dichotomy and fuels the presumption that MEN are masculine, WOMEN are feminine, and these are fundamental truths that can ONLY be subverted, rather than erroneous insistences that limit the true reality (and power) of the human individual, which possesses by right the intrinsic qualities of both.
(*according to society, as masculinity is not emblemic of men and men are not sole-possessors of masculinity, they are simply unhealthy extremes of it, just as women are unhealthy extremes of femininity)
#this is a profoundly unpopular take on almost all sides of the political and ideological spectrum for varying reasons#Jesus Christ was the most feminine man to exist and if you offendedly disagree I can hedge a bet you are a Legalistic Bible Interpreter#wears giant button that says PLEASE ASK ME ABOUT MY ONTOLOGICAL BELIEFS PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE#sitting on my singular point on the theophilosophical spectrum conjuncting both THE WORLD IS A MANY BILLION YEAR OLD NATURALISTIC PLANE>#DRIVEN BY LAWS AND LOGIC and also SIMULATION IS THE BEST-BUT-STILL-INACCURATE DESCRIPTION OF IT AS A FAILED DERIVATIVE OF DEEPER SPIRITUAL>#TRUTHS THAT CAN BE DISTORTED AND MISINTERPRETED BUT NOT ENTIRELY QUASHED#pretty incheresting that some Jewish beliefs consider Man as a whole creature that gets Split Into Incomplete Halves of Male and Female…#jesus was the most feminine man <- AND THE MEN KILLED HIM FOR IT#PEDANTS WILL SAY ‘actually it was for [insert specific and technically correct political reasons] WHILE OVERLOOKING THAT SAID POLITICAL#AND RELIGIOUS GRIEVANCES CAME ABOUT AS A RESULT OF FEMININE COMPASSION. FORGIVENESS. WELCOMING. LOVE. AND ACCEPTANCE >>> LEGAL RULES#which was unacceptable and a threat to established power constructs. As men in any organized grouping immediately construct rigid rules#and fluidity and rejection of unforgiving hierarchy in favor of the intrinsic value of the individual IS a feminine trait—again. sexless.#also yes. the inverse of this post is equally true: ALL men need to develop feminine attributes.#the truth in spirit of Humanity IS the perfect and balanced androgyne#legal and denominational loyalists will see this and quiver with fears and visions of Baphomet because the idea of the androgyne has itself#been subverted and corrupted into a symbol of evil. rather than the actuality of You The Being#I’m informed that I’m being sued for damages inflicted by ideological whiplash by readers of this post

extremely fucking good that SAG AFTRA is also negotiating for the limiting of self taping.
#you know when employers hire you and then make you do a bunch of shit that’s not in your job description and then dont pay you for it?#thats this for actors#(analogy incomplete bc you don’t get paid for auditioning except sometimes for travel)#actors are constantly told to just get used to it it’s the norm now#that in addition to all the other logistics and expenses of auditioning we’re expected to be cinematographers#with a full lighting and lav setup half the time.#self tapes absolutely have their place but expectations have gotten ridiculous

LUTHOR LEOPOLD CHARACTER FORM
"he's usually shirtless" — Deadpool on Wolverine
OVERVIEW
FULL NAME: Luthor James Leopold CURRENT ALIAS: (The) Wolverine NICKNAMES: Wolvie, Professor Dad, Babygirl, Peepaw, Honeybadger, Captain DILF, Animal, Angel Baby ADDITIONAL ALIASES: Captain Canada, Weapon X, The X-Man
BIRTHDAY: Oct 12, 1832 GENDER: Male SEXUALITY: Bisexual PRONOUNS: He/Him
CITIZENSHIP: Canadian SPECIES: Homo Superior (Mutant) AFFILIATION: Canadian Army (former), American Army (former), Allied Forces (former), Weapon X Program (former), The Captains, The X-Men BASE OF OPERATIONS: numerous, most recently X-Mansion until it's destruction, and currently the Leopold Estate
APPEARANCE & PHYSICALITY
ETHNICITY: Caucasian, probably of English, maybe Scottish descent ACCENT: Standard Canadian, occasional slips into Pacific North West Accent DOMINANT HAND: Right, but has taught himself to use both HAIR: Black EYES: Hazel-gray
BODY: Big. X.
UNUSUAL FEATURES:
STYLE:
FACECLAIM: Hugh Jackman
PERSONALITY
POWERS & ABILITIES
Regenerative Healing Factor (which in turn also grants him Contaminant Immunity, Fatigue Resistance, Decelerated Aging, and Telepathic Resistance), Superhuman Acute Senses, Superhuman Strength, Agility, Speed, and Endurance, and his signature six retractable claws that emerge between his knuckles, originally made of bone, but his entire skeleton was later infused with the indestructible metal Adamantium. Due to his healing abilities, he is functionally immortal. Notably, while his brain can completely regenerate, his memories do not always do so, leaving long gaps in his history. This flaw is not present in his surviving descendants/derivatives.
While the main factor of his mutation is his regenerative ability, the claws come from the other part of his mutation, which is an animalistic nature. Aside from the claws, this manifests in his super acute senses; he can act as a human lie detector, and can even hear noises from inside the human body when he concentrates. He could theoretically even work as a pregnancy test. His eyesight allows him to see clearly in the dark, and makes it easier for him to sneak up on people, he can even anticipate an incoming attack from a change in the air pressure alone. He has also displayed Animal Empathy, while he doesn't communicate in a complex, he can feel animals emotions, and easily befriends them. Like a disney princess, he and the animals understand each other. Most notably, however, the animalistic nature part of his mutation results in a berserker fury state, hence all that screaming when he fights.
RELATIONSHIPS
FAMILY
Grandpa Leopold, Papa Leopold, Mama Leopold
Bio Dad, bio half-bitch
The X-Men
Freya, Damian, Lara
FRIENDSHIPS
Willa Wilson
she proclaims to be his best friend, which he of course denies, but also goes along with her antics, so it's not untrue either.
ROMANCE
This man is such a slut. Throughout his long life, and even without accounting for that, he's been in numerous relationships with men and women. All bisexuals are not whores, but he sure is.
Tsukiko Muramasa
Wife, widowed
"Ryan Wilson"
Ex-boyfriend, doesn't like to bring it up, but "Ryan"'s wife, Willa Wilson, brings it up whenever she visits.
one of the Madelyne Falkner clones
ex-"girlfriend", didn't even know she was a clone, lol.
Leia Rao
Entertains her flirting, and obviously finds her pretty, that's just objective, but doesn't go further, the age thing wasn't really a problem before he became a dad, now it's a little weird. No longer entertains his partner's daddy kinks, like you can't call him what his kids do. He does get jealous though, he can usually hide it just fine, but it becomes very evident when she expresses interest in someone else.
HISTORY
TRIVIA
he is the only member of "The Captains" to not get an injection of a super-serum (although he was decades later subject to a different experiment)

in loving memory of tumblr's april fools' pranks 💐 2014 - 2024
icymi, tumblr used to do an elaborate april fool's prank every year, but this year they suddenly stopped. here's a somewhat detailed recap of everything they did over the decade:
2013 - mishapocalypse (honourable mention): tumblr staff didn’t start doing april fools until 2014, but the mishapocalypse happened on tumblr in 2013 and i feel like this list would be incomplete without it
2014 - tumblrpro: upon opening your dash you were greeted by an “inspirational” video, that ended with the option to get “tumblrpro (for free)”. all it did was put a top hat on your icon.
2015 - tumblr executivesuite/coppy: a copying machine appeared in the corner of your dash. it would offer tips on how to use tumblr, like clippy the paperclip used to do in microsoft word. as the day went on, it slowly broke down and died right in front of your eyes. many people hated him (but not me). you could also make a (small) spreadsheet. @executivesuite2016 is the official blog.
2016 - this is decision/lizard election/tumblrdecides: a parody of the 2016 US elections. there were 4 lizards (well, one of them turned out to be a salamander in a scandal) to vote for. the dash looked different and there was a live news report with election updates, as well as an election blog for each lizard. they all had their own slogans and you would get an "i voted" button after you voted that would get slapped next to your icon. there were built-in functions to make an election poster for your favourite lizard and to create a text post that supported your lizard of choice that autogenerated a statement for all your followers to read. imo tumblr’s april fools peak. @thisisdecision2016-blog is the official blog, @mop-2016-blog @wretchedtooth @timefordeborah-blog were candidates. rick also had a blog (rick-official) but that now seems to have vanished because he ended up dropping out of the election. mop won, if you're curious. by far the most elaborate prank tumblr ever did.
2017 - horse friend: a tamagotchi-inspired game where you had to take care of a little horse in the corner of your screen. it came with a randomly generated name, and you had to feed and clean up after it. if you didnt take good care of it, it died. you could then hatch (yes, hatch) a new one. there was also an option to look at the names of all your dead horses. this is now available to buy in the tumblr shop. @horse-friends is the official blog.
2018 - tumblcoin: a parody of cryptocurrency (this was the year bitcoin took off). you could ‘invest’ in tumblcoin, with which you could in turn buy things with to spice up your dash, including last year’s horse friend, coppy from 2015, and a frame for around your icon. you could share the amount of tumblcoin you owned in an automatically generated gif post which would be tagged #tbc2018 and #tumblcoin. @tumblcoin is the official blog.
2019 - @memories: this blog still functions the way it did on april fools itself! it's like mad libs, where it takes post templates and then adds in tags you use a lot and users you frequently interact with on your main blog. like a personalized shitpost bot.
2020 - group chat prank/@storybot: it was so hard to find info on this because it was contained entirely in the now-defunct group chat function, which no one used. i had to go through the notes of this post for information because no one cared enough to actually write anything explaining it. turns out, you could write a story with your mutuals by adding storybot to your group chat. it also kept working after april fools (well, up until the group chats were deleted) just like memories. many people missed out on it entirely because they did not use the group chat function.
2021 - tumblcryptids: tumblr allowed you to adopt “non-fungible tumblcryptids”, a parody of NFTs. clicking a button that said "Summon thy Tumblrcryptid" would spawn an image of a little blob-shaped creature with a short description, which would always read "Hi! My name is [randomly generated name]. I love [thing most people like]. I hate [thing most people dislike]. Like my parent, I can't get enough of #[tag from your main blog]." you could share them in a post, which would automatically add the tag #NFTumblcryptids to your post. and yes, people on the piss on the poor website freaked out about it because they thought they were real NFTs harming the environment. @tumblcryptidadoptioncenter is the official blog.
2022 - click-a-thon: when you clicked a light switch on your dashboard, a bunch of colourful things showed up, like a sponge you could move around, an "engagament meter", clickable buttons, and a “Summon Crab!” button, which would summon a crab when you clicked it. you could. the crabs, like horse friend, are still available in the tumblr store as of 2025. here's some screenshots. there were various ways to share your crab activities, which would all get tagged #april fools 2022. the prank was presented as a marketing technique created by Brick Whartley, a fictional businessman character created by tumblr, who (afaik) originated in a post on the official blog of the 2018 april fools prank, albeit originally in a different role. around this time he also started functioning as the mascot for tumblr's shop ( @emporium )
2023 - abstract reactions (emoji reacts): buttons were added to every post that allowed you to add emoji reactions, many of them based on tumblr inside jokes (horse as a reference to horse plinko/horse friend, vanilla for the vanilla extract meme, pikaman, bug for bug race, and brick whartley, who wasn't a meme but staff really wanted him to be). if one specific emoji was used a certain amount of times it would add an effect to the post, eg many cheese emoji reacts would cover the post in cheese. this was also attributed to Brick Whartley ("his" blog @brickwhartley also documented the day)
2024 - boop-o-meter: allowed you to “boop” other users who had opted in to the booping, like facebook’s poke feature back in the day. depending on how long you held the button, you would either boop, super boop, or evil boop. on the dashboard there was a counter for both how many times you had booped others and how many times others had booped you, as well as how many boops were given side-wide. when booping someone, an image of a cat paw appeared. you would get badges (which can still be used) for booping 1, 100 and 1000 times. if you gave/received more than 999 boops, the counter would switch to showing a three-letter word (see this post for specifics). this was brought back for halloween 2024 (as BOOp-o-meter. get it), with a ghost, skeleton and mummy paw. no official blog, but here's an official recap for april first from staff. i believe this was the only april fools prank that was mobile user friendly.
2025 - @fandom is running some polls, i guess
#april fools#ive had this in my drafts for years just for myself bc every april fools id start thinking about the old pranks again#and i would always forget what happened when. but i guess it's time to unleash it now GOODBYE APRIL FOOLS.....#you couldnt survive but hashtag mopcould#i'm actually a bit sad! i remember always really looking forward to the pranks when i was in school#coppy and this is decision were my favs#personal#tumblr

#the demon's lexicon#alan ryves#nicholas ryves#Hnikarr#Liannan#anzu#I don't know if I'm ever going to finish this#the computer i was drawing it on broke#But a me and a total of 7 other people in the entire world have read these books#and if one of them was sitting on an incomplete comic#I'd really rather have them post it as-is that never get to see it at all#So i'm doing that#The first time I saw this poem circulating around tumblr#It reminded me very strongly of alan#except I had to change the meaning a bit#He's not saying “I took your name to return you to the primordial nothingness/everythingness from whence you came”#He's saying “You are everything to me. My entire world. And because I love you. you are never going to be able to stop being nick.”#we don't get a lot (or maybe any) description of what Hnikaar looks like#so I decided to try to design him like a storm cloud

[ID:
an old screenshot of a tumblr post by user @agnesmontague, which reads:
im sure theres a word denoting the divide btwn what you believe as a citizen of civic society and what you believe as an animal with anger synapses. as a civic citizen i do not believe in the death penalty nor do i think anyone deserves to die for being stupid on twitter. as an ape,
The post does not finish the sentence.
End ID]
having anti punitive justice morals sucks because you want to say "man that guy sucks he should get hit with hammers until he dies" but you also want to make it clear you don't think anyone should be put in charge of the 'hit people with hammers until they die" machine.
#images#described#I found several IDs in the notes however they were all inaccurate or incomplete in some way#several insisted that the screenshot was of a reblog which??? is not how the old layout worked???#if this were not the first thing said on the post (either as the original text post or as a comment on some uncaptioned media)#then the url would not be directly next to the comment! you'd have to trace the vertical line up to the cluster of URLs st the top!#then another didn't include the URL in their description and was poorly formatted (no line breaks or square brackets)#so I figured I'll just do it myself the people deserve accuracy and quality#anyway yeah. morally and logically I don't think there's any use for violence beyond the minimum necessary to prevent something worse.#as a golem however I'm very often thinking about shattering antisemites' bones with my bare hands and jaws without mercy#philosophy#politics#justice#humans
