Meet Cute (1/?)

————

My take on pregame saiou is that they were wholesome BFFs with secret crushes on each other that just didn't know how to communicate.

More thoughts under the cut:

Kokichi's motivations for sticking around Shuichi's dorky ass might've been mercenary at first but, over time, he'd learn that Shuichi is just a genuine nerd who is incredibly smart, extremely dense, and flusters easy (basically in-game Shuichi who distracts easy and cannot read a room).

My guy just had a thing for mysteries and puzzles and DR is just like a really entertaining B-film horror show of puzzles and fake deaths (kinda how we, the fandom treat it), so it makes sense he's obsessed. He's no crazier than the average Marvel fan/Disney diehard and he's not really a stalker, just a nervous teenager who sometimes loses his nerve when trying to approach someone he wants to be friends with.

Shuichi will start to run his mouth off about DR if you get him talking about it, but I think he'd be interested in other stuff too.

Kokichi is as fake as they come, so he pretends to like DR to get close to Shuichi until they eventually bond over other mutual interest. Kokichi lies in order to keep the peace, despite his annoyance/jealousy that Shuichi's attention usually drifts to other things (mainly things that AREN'T Kokichi. Tch, the audacity am I right?) He does really care for Shuichi and Shuichi cares for him, but it's clear they don't communicate well at all.

Kokichi lies and Shuichi often gets distracted/stays passive when conflicts threaten to arise. I'm sure they both wish the other would just voice their feelings, but neither is willing to make the first move (in regards to their massive crushes, or the issues they have with their relationship). As a result, things get bottled up and it's only a matter of time before someone breaks....

Congrats on getting this far! :D Anyways, read [and the credits roll,] for post-game angst/pre-game fluff.

Danganronpa V3 AU where everything is exactly the same except Shuichi does this little puppy head tilt whenever he's confused

[himiko-yumehellno]

Objectively the funniest "domestic AU" DR ship is Kaemugi but only if Tsumugi is still just as cosplay obsessed as in game Tsumugi. And part of the comedy being that Kaede just gets used to it despite Tsumugi coming out of her room as Junko or Chihiro almost every single day around her. Bonus points if this is plural fictive space too.

Shuichi gets depressed from Kaede coming out as a lesbian to date Tsumugi. The next day he sees Kaede holding hands with Komaeda (Tsumugi) in the park and just goes "Who. The fuck is that???"

[ID: a set of nine icons of Shuichi Saihara in front of the plural pride flag. The first features chibi Halloween art, the second and third feature works from the GraffArt collection (with the second showing Shuichi in a Santa hat), icons 4 through 7 feature pictures from the official anthology (with numbers 4, 5, and 6 all having mildly concerned expressions), the eighth is sketchy official art of him with a stern expression, and the ninth shows regular chibi art of him. / end ID]

Plural Shuichi icons! I... really like this headcanon of mine lol. But also I just like Shuichi in general. I really should write more plural Shuichi fics...

Nearly forgot to post this here but I drew Kage because today is sort of a 2 year anniversary of me drawing Kage and developing my version of pregame Shuichi. I explained it better on Twitter and Insta 💙🩵🧢 Very random but it gives me an excuse to draw cool Kage fanart

[himiko-yumehellno]

I put this in my notes for ideas I could draw when I didn't have any ideas last summer

I only just got around to it lmao

I honestly and truly believe all good AUs should be a little “”””ooc”””” in the sense that good characterisation involves understanding that changes a characters backstory and circumstances will have an effect on how they respond to the world around them

Good characterisation isn’t about creating a perfect 1:1 canon replica it’s about understanding why a character is different in your work and about grounding the changes you do deliberately choose to make in canon character traits

reminder that shuichi’s specialty was solving cases for infidelity and missing pets.

reminder that shuichi has only ever solved One homicide case and it caused him so much anxiety that he doubted every case he solved afterwards.

reminder that shuichi was thrown into a killing game with multiple homicide cases and had a lot of pressure from all his classmates and his environment to get the correct verdict or else they would all be killed.

reminder that shuichi was in no way experienced at solving homicide cases the way that kirigiri was and Still he solved everything like a champ and saved everyone.

reminder that shuichi’s anxiety and helplessness was completely justified in the game considering his background.
