#not even getting into raincode

[thehandwixard]

clutching my head doubled over that the things im into are always games that are dozens of hours long to long jrpg length because im going mental thinking abt my funny guys. and the last time i tried to let out my kh meta thoughts i got sucked into a like. fucking real world particle dimension spirituality talk so i just have to sit here

Do you think you will ever check out Raincode? It's made by the same people who made DR but with a more focus on mystery. (It has the same vibes and stuff, I feel like you would like it a lot) another thing, the writing is so banger

Yes, I've already played Raincode!! Really enjoyed it, especially for the DR-like vibe and I actually made charms of the main cast:

I have sketches of Yomi and Yakou that I've been meaning to add to this set for ages but haven't been able to bring myself to refine them ;v; Makes me happy when people recognize the Raincode merch at cons tho! I'm really excited for Kodaka's new game too, I haven't played the demo yet!

[aappleslice]

back on my raincode bullshit. imagine makoto was so good at hiding his cold that it got worse and his hair grew out . yuma visits him looking like a mess

I've said this about Zero Escape. However, the correct way to play any mystery vn is to play it once, then watch as many different lets plays of the games you can find, kicking your feet and giggling as they slove the mystery.

You know I DO wanna watch a raincode playthrough again but I do fear I'm going to hear any refernce on Number One again and start going insane. This is not inherently a bad thing but I'm debating if I'm able to handle the emotions at the point of life I'm at

dont really get a lot of the rain code ships tbh. like ofc shippers are going to ship and i just personally prefer found family stuff a lot more than romantic shipping especially in this game. both are valid i think but yeah as a non rain code shipper aside from yuma (who has ship teases in the game and is generally a normal person) the rest of the NDA just dont feel that shippable to me.

halara gave a whole speech on how much they hated humanity when they got paid to hold hands for work purposes imagine asking them to kiss someone. desuhiko has negative rizz and while he shouldnt be allowed to speak to the female population his vibes are just rancid even for men and enbies. fubuki canonically doesn't know what a romantic feeling is. if vivia had to make out with someone he'd get tired like 30 seconds into it and then curl up in their sock drawer for the next 20 hours. yakou "i miss my wife tails" furio is not ready for a rebound. and even if he is and he DOESNT talk about his wife for the whole date he still wouldnt be the suave sexy dilf the fandom sees him as. someone will go to his home and the moment they make out with him in his room they'll sit on the 20 cigarette butts he's left in his bed. this man's lungs are encrusted with nicotine he does not have the stamina.

and i know a lot of shipping is mostly just vibes. two characters seem like they would have an interesting dynamic and maybe they do have an interesting dynamic in canon and ppl like to twist that to be romantic and that's valid. often it's not about if the ship would be healthy, just if it would be interesting.

it's not about how the rain code characters would ACTUALLY act in a functional romantic relationship. but goddamn can you fucking imagine

[renavi0]

and here is my design concept for Yuma in my raincode vampire hunters AU

i have headcanons for Yuma's and other characters' ages, which i decided to apply here. i would also like to talk more about the weapons of vampire hunters in this AU, but i think it's worth writing a separate post about that

[highoncatfood]

GUESS WHAT IM DRAWInG AGAIN I NEED TO BE PUT DOWN

[g0nta-g0kuhara]

The world is mean but also kind. I won't get to go to the v3 x raincode collab but there also wasn't a gonta in it. with this I am able to let it go

[holydramon]

hundred line literally just came out and apparently another kodaka game is coming out in september. please dude I haven’t even bought hundred line yet.

Unearthed Scrolls (RainCode God AU Side Stories) Tale 6: Waning Crescent

Please click here to read!

Tags are for each individual story! Please check the authors notes as well

Chapters: Story 6 Rating: Teen and Up Relationships: Yuma Kokohead & Makoto Kagutsuchi Characters: Makoto Kagutsuchi, Yuma Kokohead

Summary: Makoto had everything planned. He knew exactly how he was going to meet his satellite and knew exactly how he was going to hint to Yuma that he should contact Shinigami, Goddess of Death… of course that plan went up in smoke much like the submarine after Yomi got impatient and blew it up, so now, naturally, Makoto had to go save his brother. 

But how does a God take care of a sick fellow God when he has no idea what he's doing, especially when the second God shouldn't be able to get sick in the first place! God Makoto was in for a long couple of days.

Here we are! Sickfic time once again! Even when they're immortal Gods I will still find a way to make Yuma suffer with an aliment!  Hope you like this too Pixel! 

And thank you @draconicsparkle for beta reading!

SPOILERS FOR THE WHOLE OF RAINCODE!

🃏 Kokichi Ouma Age-up Timeline 🍇

Here, I've used his initial designs as inspiration! I like looking back at older designs cause for a lot of them, it's like watching them grow up!

Headcanons under cut (HUUUGE SPOILER WARNING FOR DRV3)

(Content Warning for child abuse, mental illness and disorder, self harm, generally dark and unsettling topics ahead)

-=-

First off, I'm firm in my take that Tsumugi was lying about everyone being fictional. There's a lot that doesn't match up, and the local V3 fandom celebrity responsible for the Amalgamate fic has helped me tremendously in solidifying my stance. I think they absolutely do belong to the DR universe, but the memories they get that aren't part of their backstory are completely fabricated.

If there's any additional input on V3 in Raincode, don't let me know because I haven't played yet ;w;

That said, there's many things I, like Kokichi, will refuse to clarify or elaborate on. His character demands mystery, and it would be a trivialization of his writing to just. lay it all out there. I think approaching his writing with the mindset of knowing the whole truth would be to bastardize his integrity and simplify him in a distasteful way - so all my headcanons here will be written and are intended to be seen as broad strokes as opposed to finely tuned detail.

-=-

I like to think of his past as muddy and confusing, even to him. There's not a lot he can remember clearly, and constantly confuses different takes on his memories. To me, it's clear that lying is a huge trauma thing to him - I would assume multiple sources would be responsible, like authority, family, and peers.

He's been lying as a means of survival, with multiple layers of how he feels about it - despite what he says, there's not actually one truth. Multiple truths exist for one single thing, and I think that mindset is something that scares him tremendously - he'd probably say that reality is just a lie you tell yourself, in order to justify trivializing and minimizing both feelings/emotion and trauma.

In his head, there's so much wrong with him that he can't even begin to unravel himself and understand everything that's happened to him, why he does what he does, why he feels what he feels... so on. He feels multiple things that often contradict each other, and he doesn't know how to understand that, so he often switches his justifications to suit whatever narrative he needs to cope.

In general, however, he claims he's just lying. There are in fact, genuine times he does actually lie... but rather than being a true compulsive liar, he is actually a compulsive method actor. He's so empathetic to everything and everyone, that he can easily switch his masking techniques to suit whatever he or others need, and does so involuntarily most of the time, though he does know how to "switch it on" purposefully.

In his earlier ages, he may have suffered from a guardianship similar to what those who have DID had gone through (not me projecting lol /hj). He's been bred and born into tragedy, not unlike Komaeda but absolutely distinct from him in that I do not believe this boy has had any good luck with anything in his life - not family, not friends, not money, nothing. I might even go so far as to assume that, similar to Yasuhiro having an unnaturally high good luck, Kokichi is suffering from unnaturally high bad luck.

I noticed that, on a lot of his designs, he seems to have always had *something* covering at least one of his hands - and even on his final design, though it could just be a design fluke or something weird with perspective I misunderstood, you can see the smallest scrap of fabric underneath his right sleeve that could be seen as another hand/wrist covering. When lined up with the other designs, it could very easily be taken as a wrist bandage - at least by my eyes. So, I (and a lot of others it seems, especially those who identify with him) have taken this to mean he may in fact be self-harming, and has been for a long while. Anyone who hyperfixates on this guy wouldn't be surprised in the slightest if that turned out to be true.

I think that age 11 is probably what Kokichi himself would think of as his 'turning point', just going off of my little chart here; something tremendously awful happened to him, then. To fuel speculation and abide by his character rules, all I'm going to definitively say is... he likely wouldn't even trust doctors with a needle, let alone his life.

So, the hardest year of any modern kid's life... 12 years old. In my family especially, it's the worst year you'll ever face, and my god was that true for me. So I think this year fits him for gaining his... as the creators put it, 'otherworldly' expressive nature. This is the year he completely stops putting effort into trying to understand the truth, and fully embraces the chaos that is his reality. He's fine!!!!!! :)))))

He mellows out around 15, and I like to think of this year as his cringe-fail-iest year to date. This motherfucker would likely be seen in Hot Topic, jamming to MCR, glomping his friends, verbally roleplaying, so forth. His phone signature is a series of kaomojis. Idk if there's a similar equivalent of being a cringe baby weeb for Japanese who are my age, so I'm really just basing this on my own experience of being 15 in 2011. But whatever the equivalent is, he is absolutely it. 15 year old Kokichi is current Kokichi's most embarrassing time ever.

However, it's also likely the age he started his talent's namesake - of becoming the Ultimate Supreme Leader. Which, I choose to believe is, much like Kokichi in general, both true and false. Same for his actual group, DICE. Both is good ;o)

Following his talent, he has a natural command to his voice that feels as though you're forced to hear him speak. No one can really talk over him unless their ability to do so demands it - say for example, Sonia, the SHSL Princess. Due to the nature of their talents, I think Sonia's voice and ability to command would absolutely trump Kokichi's. However, due to the aforementioned bad luck, people are compelled to not trust him - even if what he's saying is true. (Kokichi voice: oh pythia we're really in it now)

Also, you can't really tell because of all the scarring, but 15 and 19 are the ages where he stopped going outside so he's paler and paler, lol

And my last one, I love to imagine that due to his talent, he's actually intensely adept at fighting, especially dodging. In fact, I think he's even way smarter than he'd like to believe!
