sayaka maizono and selfishness

in an attempt to compensate for the overall hate sayaka got as a character i feel like a lot of people try to sympathize with her morally as a person by insisting she was fully, 100% altruistic in her motivations, that she ONLY cared about saving her bandmates. while she does genuinely love and consider them family i believe its a lot more fascinating to take into account the ways in which the idol industry hollow out sayaka, and how her initial dream (spreading love and hope to lonely people the same way the idols on TV saved her as a child) becomes twisted and forgotten in what she has to sacrifice for it, her wellbeing, authenticity, all for the sake of the image she has to put on to survive in such a competitive dehumanizing industry.....

all her sense of purpose and identity depends on her ult idol title, to the point where she considers murder and follows through with her plan. at some level of consciousness sayaka believes the ends justify the means, there is a fair degree of selfishness in her because she's nothing outside the success of her career. and then there's sayaka's hopeful, last act of true kindness (11037)

this is crucial to what ch1 means as the base of danganronpa, the deceit, first impressions, the way ultimate titles define them in such a world, its themes of fame, idolatry, talent & hard work... it sets the tone for all that comes next.

Squirrel Girl, Mantis, and Emma Frost x Male Reader

Squirrel Girl

Doreen treats you like her whole damn world. Doesn’t matter what kind of day either of you have had, she’s gonna tell you that you’re her everything and more. If she could tell you how much she loves you every second of every day without it coming off as annoying she would.

Movie nights are a must with her. Just you, her, and Tippy-Toe wrapped up in a warm blanket with a bunch of snacks in front of you. Definitely the type of girl to build a pillow fort just for the hell of it. You’ll just come home one day to find all the pillows and blankets missing only to find Doreen putting the finishing touches on her master piece. Snuggles in the fort are nonnegotiable.

Speaking of which, good luck getting up in the morning. Because if she’s got a good grip on you, you aren’t getting out of bed.

Her tail is really soft. You’d think given her profession as well as her allies her fur would be all matted and dirty, but no. She takes pretty good care of it.

On the topic of her job, expect to receive a bunch of selfies of her and any bad guys she’d just beaten up.

*Doreen just sent you an image*

*you open the image to find a selfie of Doreen holding up a peace sign for the camera with Thanos face down on the floor in the background* HOW IN THE HELL?!

If you’re a hero like her, she’ll pester you to join her on patrol, comparing the 2 of you to a buddy cop movie.

Mantis

A relationship with Mantis is one you can describe in only one word. Transparent.

Given her abilities, it’s not easy to keep secrets from Mantis. Had a bad day? She can tell. Got a surprise for her? She can sense your excitement. Want a hug? She’s already got her arms open.

In turn, since you can’t keep secrets from her, she out right refuses to keep secrets from you. It just doesn’t seem fair to her. Why keep stuff from you if you are literally unable to do the same?

Mantis is a cutie to the highest degree. She’ll do this thing where if she discovers something incredible she’ll get this excitement look on her face that is simply infectious. The way her eyes light and a huge smile grows on her face is simply irresistible.

Praise! Praise! Praise!

This lady loves to praise you whenever she can. “Excellent” is something you’ll hear literally everyday. If you come home after an off day she’s already on the couch, waiting to lay your head in her lap and praise you till the cows come home.

“It’s alright, my beloved. You are doing just fine. Everything you do is enough.”

Emma Frost

Definite sugar mommy vibes from this woman. I mean, she’s literally made of diamonds. Lady’s got more money than she knows what to do with, and what better reason to use it than to spoil you.

Gifts are abundant with Emma. Doesn’t matter if it’s your birthday, Christmas or any other special occasion, she’ll get you something just because she felt like it. And it doesn’t matter if you’re boujee or not, she likes to look at price tags before anything else.

And don’t try to refuse any of her presents because there’s no way in hell she’s returning them.

“Darling, I’ve got a gift for you.” *she hands you a small box with a bow on it*

*you open the box to find a watch that costs more than your average suburban home. You sweat a bit.* “th-thanks, Emma.”

Appearance means a lot to her, and you’re no exception. If you don’t have any particular style when you start dating her you’ll have one by the end of the day. She’ll buy you new clothes, get you a haircut, anything she thinks you need. All on her dime of course.

At first it felt like she only kept you around to be arm candy. A pretty face for her to show off at events. However, it doesn’t take too long for her more comfy side to show.

She absolutely loves testing makeup on you. Whether it’s a new nail polish or a brand of press powder she hasn’t tried yet, you’re her test dummy.

Speaking of which, expect to have a mark of blue lipstick on you at any given time. She loves pressing her soft lips against your neck, hands or cheek only to leave behind a little bit of evidence for you to wash off later. If you’re going out somewhere without her she’ll leave one on the back of your hand and call it a “good luck charm”.
