CRASHES THROUGH A BRICK WALL

HI HI IM ALIVE!!!! sorry for the relative radio silence on here ;v;

on the topic of that actually!!!! finally have a proper folie a deux au update for you!! though its slightly different than expected?

me and professional buddy and fellow au creator @cookiecaker decided to share a summary of the story we're making for the au beforehand since we'll be taking a whileeee to finish it,,, got a lot of life to live and horrors to create "-v-

after this though you mayyyy or may notttt see some out of order chapter drafts posted for the story as well,,, or atleast one? eh youll see ;Pc

ANYWAYS!!!! this is gonna take a while so lets get on with...

THE FOLIE À DEUX DOAI AU

a summary!!

or story pitch? idk-

(cookie please lemme know if i miss or improperly describe anything here feel free to correct me-)

PART 1

the first three chapters follow alex just after the end of volume 1 as theyre abducted by lankmann and confined to his asylum as a "patient." eventually they get sent to winfrey as food, but winfrey refuses to eat them. theyre left to die in room 66 by lankmann for a Long While, until eventually he gives up and just puts alex back in their room

while alone in confinement, alex starts noticing strange things happening... dark patches start appearing on their skin, they get random pains as if someone were kicking them, and they hear a voice... a much clearer voice than the ones they used to hear while working in the asylum, and it seemed to be able to read their thoughts. though they originally just assumed it was due to being part of their thoughts as well, they find that they start knowing things they had no way of knowing and never learned prior to being confined. when lankmann typically entered room 66, how long hes inside, certain areas of the asylum patients found that theyd never heard of before...

this "voice" managed to help alex find a way to escape, leading to them running away and moving to another, smaller town in eastridge than the one they originally lived in to avoid lankmann's pursuit

PART 2

[ ! tw for cannibalism. yes you heard me- ! ]

so after getting far away from the asylum, alex assumes that their hallucinations and weird symptoms of... Something would wear off, since subject 02 was no where near close enough to affect them

well uh. nope! theyre still there!!

so eventually alex figures out "oh shit that thing is in my head somehow" and is obviously quite concerned!!! to say the least!!!! but theyre also oddly comforted by the idea of having The Voice in their head, since now theyre not entirely alone while on the run and i mean it helped them escape so it cant be that bad?? either way theyre not exactly excited about the whole ordeal and theyre starting to look different and theyre really hungry all the time and its not fun

so! at some point (with winfreys suggestion) alex decides to run off to another town a bit farther away just to be safe. but Uh Oh theyre all out of food!! so theyre extremely hungry, forcing themself through it so they can get food when they arrive but. they see someone in the woods while walking

and for some reason that makes them even hungrier

they try to ignore it and keep walking but they cant

and the next thing they know

theyre looking down at a person

chewing off the flesh on their leg

covered in blood

even after regaining their senses they cant stop themself from eating. it tasted... so good... they were so hungry... they felt awful but it really did taste so s o g o o d .

in a haze, they discard the body, clean themself off and reach the next town. just after unpacking in an apartment, they collapse, flooded with the emotions they fought off on the way there

the next day, alex finally confronts winfrey (or winfreys voice rather-) about all their grievances and they eventually reach an understanding, as winfrey opens up about fearing the outside of the asylum despite longing to escape through alex, so they eventually agree to let winfrey pilot their body for a few days to get a feel for how the world has changed since the time winfrey had been free

in doing so, winfrey realizes how small and helpless humans are in comparison to them and how terrified the patients they devoured mustve been. this allows them to appreciate human life (specifically alex's) much more and want to escaped in their own body to join alex outside and introduce clyde to what they learned after finding it again

while piloting alexs body, winfrey is suddenly forced back into their own after lankmann inflicts enough pain to wake them from the dissociative state that piloting alex left them in. soon after this, winfrey overcomes the fear that was originally keeping them from escaping the facility and breaks out

PART 3

this section is a lot less figured out than the rest so uhh bear with me please ;v;

essentially this couple of chapters just follows alex and winfrey as they get used to life on the run, figuring out where to go from there and how they could potentially find clyde, along with just talking face to face and getting used to that. its a weird feeling talking to someone that you share thoughts with yknow? like talking to yourself but its... not... yourself...

around the start of this section winfrey also expresses that they feel drawn to feminity as a human concept, thus being referred to with they/she from this point on in the story!! transfem winfrey yippee!!! it just makes sense in our head idk-

PART 4

alex and winfrey start noticing news broadcasts and posters asking around for a "dark figure" lurking around, as well as warnings about alex being missing from lankmanns asylum. this fuels alex's paranoia, leading them to seeing lankmanns caretakers everywhere, feeling as if theyre being watched wherever they go... until eventually their home is ambushed and theyre taken back into lankmanns custody

alex is essentially used as bait to get winfrey to come save them from the asylum, since lankmann couldnt find a solid lead on where winfrey could be. alex tries to convince her not to fall for it, since they can both tell this is what lankmanns trying to do, but winfrey eventually caves and breaks back in to help alex, getting trapped inside once again

PART 5

depsite the circumstances, winfrey and alex do their best to stay determined and keep looking for a way out, but they dont make much progress. to make matters worse, lankmann tries "live feeding" patients to alex in the same way he did with winfrey due to realizing that alex has veldigun traits and assuming that theyd have the same appetite as her. this isnt the case, and eventually lankmann switches to dead patients as food for alex, which theyre forced to accept due to lacking any other options

both winfrey and alex are miserable in the situation, the helplessness sinking in fairly quickly as alexs body begins rejecting the growing veldigun portions of itself, decaying under the immense stress

during their final moments, winfrey pilots alexs body to allow an atleast somewhat peaceful death as their consciousness fades away, leaving winfrey alone to reflect on all that had happened...

...and thats the official end of the story!! i had like,, a hypothetical epilogue/alternate ending where lankmann forces a Mind Merge with winfrey somehow and then gets killed and she breaks out again but like. idk the logistics of that are iffy and i kinda prefer the more melancholy end for something like this ":]c

ANYHOW!!!! hope that was!!! something!!!! please feel free to ask questions or provide feedback or anything else im always happy to engage with my fellow freaks (affectionate) :]

ALSO IF YOU MAKE CONTENT BASED ON THIS AU LET ME KNOW I WILL DIE FOREVER alright thats it for real this time- stay safe broskissss BP

stellaron hunters family headcanons

think about me when the moon arises - ☆ stellaron hunters

~these guys love each other but will never admit it to one another. theyd rather kill themselves than admit howmuch they love each other ~

── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ──── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ──── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ──── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ────

⤷ blade will never admit it but he is the biggest girl dad. will go out to buy pads for them without them even needing to ask for it. he will just go do it.

⤷ firefly and silver wolf r the closest siblings to ever sibling. silver wolf likes to poke fun of her and insult her jokingly but deep down will not hesitate to doxx someone if they even look at her the wrong way

⤷ firefly has the biggest crush on stelle and silver wolf has hacked into stelles social media accounts on many occasions to read her texts to astral express friends andn see if she feels the same

⤷ blade hates physical affection but will let firefly lean against his shoulder when she's tired. has a soft spot for his kids

⤷ they try to have 'family dinners' (blade refuses to call it that) at least once a week where they catch up (discuss their most recent murders and crimes)

⤷ elio sits at the head of the table eating his cat food

⤷ they all respect elio like he is their grandfather (he is a cat)

⤷ elio hates it when people 'pspspsps' him but will make an exception for firefly

⤷ blade will not HESITATEEE to throw hands at ANYONE who dares touch firefly or silver wolf. he cares so much for them but will never openly admit it. ever. he'd rather die. wait no he wants to die. he'd rather live.

⤷ stellaron hunters family gc is always active, and used to be even more active when stelle was around...

oh.. stelle..

⤷ kafka misses stelle. a bit like a mother when her child is off to college. she never openly admits it but the vists the astral express a lot just because she wants to know how stelle's doing. she messages stelle quite often too even if she knows stelle despises her now

⤷ deep down it hurts her to know that stelle doesn't see her the way she used to. she tells herself to remain cool and collected around stelle but it hurts seeing how stelle has forgotten all their history together, even if it is for the better good.

⤷ firefly broke down to silver wolf the first time she saw stelle again because it hurt so much knowing stelle doesn't remember their history at all. unlike kafka, she finds it harder to compose herself

⤷ CAELUS VERSION: blade was about to commit acts of mass murder when he found out caelus was dating his ex (dan heng)

⤷ stelle's phone actually still has her location shared with the stellaron hunters, and she doesn't know it. they all have their locations shared just in case something happens and firefly occasionally checks stelle's location once in a while when she feels sad. it makes her feel better knowing stelle is still out there, somewhere.

⤷ silver wolf became even more insistent on firefly playing games with her after stelle left because stelle used to play with her, but now stelle is gone. it feels empty now, staying up late at night, tapping away silently in her own room without stelle's loud shouting and cheering.

⤷ her bedroom. her bedroom is untouched, since the day she left it has remained untouched. firefly walks inside sometimes just to find fragments of the stelle she knew, lies in her bed and cries. kafka knows what firefly is up to despite how 'sneaky' firefly thinks she is.

⤷ kafka also does the same. she sneaks into stelle's room and looks through her old stuff, books, games, trashcan collection, and more. she used to chide stelle for collecitng such odd bits and pieces but now she wants nothing more than for stelle to run up to her holding a piece of trash, exclaiming how it is a secret work of art.

Double life,, 2!!!!!!!

I was bored and decided to re-roll double life soulmates and see if i could think of anything fun with these new pairs

so i took the double life cast plus Skizz, Lizzie, Mumbo and Gem because i wanted to include everyone

(i know that Gem was only in one session but we had an odd number and shes a lifer to me)

the pairs generated was

Joel and Lizzie (im not kidding)

Skizz and Mumbo

Pearl and Tango (it rolled Pearl and Scott first but i didnt want any doubles so i rerolled it)

Ren and Grian

Cleo and Etho (omg theyre back together...)

Scar and Bdubs

Jimmy and Scott (flower husbands,,,,)

Impulse and Martyn

Gem and BigB

now theres some absolute gems in this

first things first, the true soulmates: Joel and Lizzie

they were the first thing i rolled and it was so perfect omg,,,,,, obviously they are the power couple, the girlboss malewife. very chaotic duo and possibly a bit dangerous

next up: Skizz and Mumbo

now because those two dont interaact like at all from my knowledge i cant say much for sure, but i feel like the two of them would make a very fun team. with Skizz's impulsiveness and Mumbos redstone abilities i feel they could do some very fun stuff. I dont think theyd get very far but theyre here for a fun time, not a long time

Pearl and Tango

this one is kinda interesting. we have established that Pearl is crazy, we know that, but Tango is too just in a completely different way. Pearl doesnt beat around the bush much, she there and you know it. while Tango often works in the back seat in the middle of some crazy plot like Dare to Flare, Bet your life, or bringing a warden to the surface. combine these two and youd get some fun results.

Ren and Grian

first thing that came to mind: the dramatics. Grian is the known war starter and Ren is known roleplayer, do i need to make it obvious??? they would be SO fun to watch. Just by thinking about im upset that this isnt already a thing, god. I feel their shenanigans would be on par with the Bad Boys.

Cleo and Etho

if limited life taught us anything its that these two = divorce and im so here for that. this feels as if it be Cloe + Martyn Version 2. and considering and Etho on his own is a bit more pathetic then Martyn it would be very pitiful to watch. Cleo would be out girlbossing(as they do) and Etho would be struggling to do much, that or Etho would be also fine on his own but i think itd be better if he were a little pathetic yk

Scar and Bdubs

these two are impulsive idiots and would do nothing but enable each other and im so here for it. they would go on a million different mini mission in a single session. youd get whiplash from watching them. but i feel like this would make them either very dangerous or not threatening at all. who knows

Jimmy and Scott

flower husbands. what more do i have to say? Scott would be the pro player that he is while jimmy does nothing but get himself killed. theyd make an okay team is third life is anything to go by. i feel Scotts skills at the game and Jimmy's lack of would just balence themselves out a bit. who knows, maybe Jimmy would be the second one to die with a soulmate like Scott

Impulse and Martyn

a southlanders duo! these two were hilarious back in last life and they would be again. theyd make a pretty decent team i think. I mean these two were top two in limited life. theyd be a good mix of shenanigans and actual decent plays, a very good balance i think

and last but not least Gem and BigB

now this ones a thinker because Gem was only ever in one session of the game and did not once interact with BigB(if im remembering correctly) but going on assumptions i think these two would make a great team. first of all i think theyd be semi-wholesome. with Gems cottagecore vibes and BigBs general BigB-ness i think theyd be very cute. but also quite dangerous. Gem is a known PvPer (GeminiSlay!) and BigB makes his own good plays fairly often as well. Otherall very cute, but threatening team

this was a fun thinking exercise

and i want to hear your thoughts in the notes!!!!!

[novembermorgon]

veeerry intrigued as to what viserra and maelor mean for the dance... viserra gets a dragon? their kid gets their own faction? KING MAELOR? many possibilities

this is how i can tie all my ocs together into one alternate timeline with a little ribbon on top .

this one is tough... i'm so bad with timelines and making things slot together neatly. BUUUUUT.......... i think it'd be interesting if absolutely nothing else because there's at least one extra dragon in there with maelor's ebrion hanging around . i don't think viserra claims a dragon partially because there aren't really many around to claim but i think at least one or two of their kids get little eggs in the cradle so that's another two dragons in there .

realistically there isn't really any chance for their kids to make a claim on the throne by the time of the great council in 101 - with both viserys and daemon alive alongside rhaenys they're pretty far behind, but i imagine they'd ally themselves pretty closely with viserys especially because he's like a block of clay . easy to squish around and shape into whatever you want . maybe theyd even try to snake a marriage in there somewhere. i imagine in a situation where there are cousins present it wouldn't be out of the realm of possibility that daemon marries one of their children (assuming they'd have at least one girl .. i didnt think about it that hard . im sensing.... an even split with 2 girls and 2 boys with one of the boys not surviving into adulthood). would probably not be as hostile as his marriage to rhea but him marrying someone else and not being opposed to it makes the whole timeline here soooo different that it's hard to even really imagine .

if we're assuming everything is relatively the same until the start of the dance though .... at that point maelor and viserra's kids would be around rhaenys, daemon & viserys age - a little bit younger than them but like firmly adults starting to getting older. being that they were raised by parents who are definitely kind of inclined to scheme a little when given the chance & to some degree end up feeling sidelined just by being a little further down in the succession (especially when viserys decides to name rhaenyra heir over, in their eyes, more capable candidates) i think theyd be inclined to side with the greens . at least THEIR heir is a MAN which dad always said was VERY IMPORTANT . i guess they just sort of fit in better there . everyone some degree of bitter with a hate for fun.

i'm suuuper bad again at timeline crafting & pondering stuff like battles & wartime happenings but with an extra set of dragons (assuming idk one of their kids cradle eggs hatches and one of them claims maelor's dragon) i think itd be a much more even and later a much more one sided war . the greens probably hold king's landing for longer, but then shit kind of stirs up because yeah i think later on they'd be inclined to split off and make another side of the war here. clearly neither aegon or rhaenyra seem very suited to rule because the war has been a whole shitshow so why not crown someone older and more experienced . it's the pitfall of everyone in this damn family thinking 'after all why shouldn't i get to be king too'.

it gets messy i fear . theyd probably be relatively passive in terms of their involvement but after aemond and daemon die i can see them sort of trying to wrangle king's landing from either of the other factions and they manage to hold that power for a little while but the issue is they have no idea HOW to rule they just like the idea of it. and given they're sort of in an awkward spot in the succession they don't have anywhere to go like rhaenyra does with dragonstone - they're ultimately trapped in king's landing and when people start getting upset because they can't rule for shit they don't know what to do . maybe ends with a french revolution esque storming of the red keep that ends with them all just murdered . after which their dragons are left without riders and sort of fly off to wherever dragons go . manage to dodge the storming of the dragonpit because they were busy plotting when it happened

ultimately i dont think they'd live past the dance era and i dont think their line goes anywhere. sort of doomed from the start. viserra seeks help and safety with her brother so she doesn't need to marry against her will and ends up trapped in the same situation anyways. maelor is overconfident and believes himself better than he is and dies pitifully and gracelessly in the woods . their children live long enough to rise and fall but they leave behind no legacy and nobody to remember them . truly the jaehaerys alysanne kid effect

funny though imagine saera and her kids watching from lys . having a little giggle.

[kroosluvr]

First of all, I love your art. It can be both cute and fluffy or extremelly angsty and sad. I know its mostly Persona focused but do you have any other games/movied or even stories of your own that you'd like to make art of in the future?

Also, I love how recently there's at least 2 VioletFox anons and then some more people quietly percieving from the shadows the headcanons/fanfics you and they write. It feels like an underground/rebel radio broadcast from the VioletFox front that must remain hidden from the authorities.

OMG WAAH thank you sooo so much!!!!! im so glad u enjoy my stuff ehehe.... ive found it easy to express myself thru persona charas (royal trio...+a side of ham/urio) so thank u so much eheheh

UHHH OTHER STUFF I LIKE!!! death note (light is my son), ffxiv, honkai star rail/arknights/fate(fgo)/project sekai (sort of.. i havent had the time to play gacha games SDJFSHJAS) namely i want to draw stuff for death note bc. well. altho it may seem persona is my main gig, actually death note makes me so crazy but i havent been able to draw a lot of fanart since i got into it in middle school bc my art SUCKED!!! but i think i can do it now.. just need inspo to strike me dead.... (im sure theres other things i like and want to draw stuff for that im forgetting rn)

i also have ocs!!! that i want to draw for !!!!! but i threw them aside to draw persona.

meet kei akita (brown hair girl) and calix maverick (black hair guy) tldr calix is stupidly suicidal but can't die (he simply goes unconscious and immediately heals no matter what) and kei is a normal highschool girl who attracts danger and often gets into near-death situations. shes a hitman kinda basically. calix is her meat shield READ: best friend... theyd do aynthing for each other. strictly platonic tho bc calix is gay and kei is lesbian :3 mlm wlw solidarity

all of the art above by bitsbyt3s on twt :3 u can see more ocs in my tag... ANYWAYS yeah if i ran out of persona ideas... id want to draw more original things....

LASTLY LMAOO UR SO RIGHT IMCRYING i thoguht there was just 1 but THERE ARE SEVERAL!!! I DONT EVEN KNOW WHOS WHO!!!! it feels fun to be the violetfox ship hub city tho. yessss come here i will feed u violetfox <- SHE NEEDS TO DRAW THEM!!!! PLEASE!!! HURRY!!!!!!! this goes out to u violetfox anons . where wld i be w/o u

[littlefoxwithbighat]

Dynamics/ Team-ups I want to see in the life series!

Etho & Gem

You've seen their dynamic on Hermitcraft together. Do I need to elaborate. It'd be so funny. Gem is entirely unimpressed by his shanigans (shes an Ethogirl at heart). They would do really well.

Mumbo & Lizzie

I honestly feel like they would mesh so well together. Mumbo and Lizzie both have quite similar, awkward "I-don't-know-what-I'm-doing and-I'm-afraid-but-I-enjoy-the-chaos" energies. I think they would be so much fun. Would they be an effective team? Probably not. But would they have the most shenanigans? Yes.

Gem, Cleo, Pearl & Lizzie

TEAM GIRL TEAM GIRL i honestly think this would be the most amazing friendship it'd be so fun. Guys please.

BigB & Grian

They're friends irl and it shows in their dyanmic chemistry on screen. BigB likes to hang back and Grian likes to be the centre of things, and I think in this regard they'll help balance each other out. Also Grian has wanted to team qith BigB since 3rd life, they'd both enjoy it!

BigB & Martyn

Also friends irl. Martyn likes being witty and starting bits and BigB is genuinely really talented in yes and-ing and continuing bits. They both match each other in terms of being very forthright and very myterious all at once.

Scott & Tango

I just feel like Tango and Scott would match each other's energies and playstyles quite well. They're both interested in the technical aspects of the game and playing to win, but neither are afraid to take a break for bits. Scott's building and Tango's redstone would be a terrifying force together.

Skizz & Grian

I refer you to GIGS phasmophobia streams.

Martyn, Etho & Joel

This team would be a huge disaster. I can see the in-fighting from here. They would come up with the stupidest schemes known to man. They would all be besties. They would have at least 3 divorces. I have got to see this happen it would be brilliant.

Martyn & Gem

Both really like being witty and come-backs. They would be so smart together. Both of them are super competitive but also love the shenanigans and improv. I think they would also yes-and each other till the end.

Martyn & BDubs

BDubs doesnt get enough credit for his wit and improv, hes so talented! Martyn is the witty improv guy. They would be an absolute force together. They wouldn't get anything done, and would probably spend too much time spying together. But the shenanigans and rp would be fantastic.

Pearl & Grian

They would be the absolute worst. Theyd probably die horribly and fight all the time. Itd be really funny though.

Mumbo, Tango & Skizz

They just seem like they all get along really well. A good mixture of chilling and silliness. :DD

Mumbo & BigB

I want to see them hang out more they seem like they would be best friends itd be really wholesome. I don't think they'd win. I think it would be an excellent vibe.

Scar & Lizzie

They both have very similar senses of humour. They both love running with particular characters (see Fairy Queen Lizzie and Wizard Scar). They are both goofy and silly and loveable and threatening to blow your house up. Peak dynamic. It'd be amazing.

Scar & Bdubs

I refer you to HC s7. Trust me itd be good.

[abundantsnow]

manga spoilers!!

js thinking about hisato and douma as well as the aftermath of sunrise arc

i think itd be pretty funny if i had douma and hisato square off in infinity castle considering they both have opposite ice blood demon arts, one heals one kills 🔥🔥🔥🔥 idk fun thought. theyd be pretty evenly matched but ofc hisato wouldnt do it alone and 100% would not be able to defeat douma w/o shinobus poison taking effect

but inhaling doumas ice wouldnt really effect hisato, hed probably get sick but it wouldnt kill him. hed see doumas apathy too, and would probably get real pissed after shinobus death, especially after promising her long ago to help her kill douma. (and he does!! i wanna write that. shinobu & hisato besties)

as for if hisato is alive after everything, i havent decided yet. i think itd be really funny if he went into despair for not only NOT getting a slayer mark due to his demon blood but also not dying and not becoming human. because his blood is unique to himself, he wouldnt be eradicated along with muzan and he also wouldnt have his demonic blood removed. he stays the exact same after muzans defeat and his despair is immesurable after learning this. i wanna say he asks either sanemi and/or giyuu to kill him so he doesnt have to live with watching his loved ones die around him, ofc, he asks them because hes in love with them in some capacity and wants that honor at the very least to be killed by someone he loves but ofc.... neither sanemi or giyuu could do it.

he tries his best to preserve sanemi and giyuus life with his BDA and i wanna say it works but it only gives them both like a few more years at most, maybe to 30. hed probably go through with ending his life in an agonizing way after their deaths

i love angst guys!!1!1!1!1!1! and then reincarnation au you can see him playing with giyuu, sabito, and makomos reincarnations with a matching fox keychain lmao (im gonna fucking sob)

ill probably write a unique ongoing modern au with some sort of twist that isnt connected to the reincarnations. like a mafia or a biker au cause hoh boy theres so much angst and action you can pack in there LMAOO

[okthatsgreat]

i am GRABBING YOU and SHAKING YOU. did you know your mikane is the craziest. did you. did you know that. last chapter drove me so far up the wall i am still yet to calmndown...... poor mikan. imagine ur emotionally repressed gf runs away again only for two children w the exact same problem to come barging through your door.

i have so many things to ask........ but i shan't ask them all. please please tell me anything about ur ideas for mikane in general or in oppdmh bc they're the most crazy insane yuri ever. OH RIGHT YEAH AND. the actual question. obviously opddmh mikan still struggles with anxiety, but how do you think she's changed in mentality and issues after everything that came after danganronpa? any issues outgrown or gained? morphed in some way? love ur work so much every time. u made me pause my utena rewatch and that is such a big compliment u do not even know

GRABS YOU SHAKES YOUSHAKESYOU SHAKES YOU SHAKES YOU

talking about this fic, as always putting the answer under read more for people who dont wanna read lol!!!!!!!

OHHH MY GOD IM INSANE ABOUT THEMM. went into this fic knowing that i wanted mikan and akane to have their own povs because i thought theyd bring different perspectives, especially in comparison to makoto's pov. i knew what i wanted mikans story to involve and i had a vague idea about akanes (fun fact rantaro was originally gonna be kaito LOL) and then like two chapters into writing mikans point of view i was like waiiiitttt a minute. wait a minute hold on. what if they were in love. and what if they were so not normal about it

it made so much sense for the story i wanted both of them to tell that immediately i went into my notes and started pivoting a few things LMFAO. i just think that their relationship (or their pining at least lol) is able to neatly underline some of their core themes/issues in this fic, whether that be for better or for worse. through the lens of their relationship im hoping to convey mikan's sheer capacity of worry and insecurity, how she finds it difficult to move through life without another person to rely on even if she has done a bit of growing since the simulator and how that dependency affects her. and then of course akane's emotional repression is highlighted through their relationship (her forgetfulness, her inability to communicate, LEAVING all of the time), but also it's a great reminder of just how protective akane can get even if she isn't there. not to mention how worried she gets about mikan despite her absolute refusal to worry.

they care about each other to the point of unspoken codependency and while it is absolutely making both of them feel safe and happy it is still a reminder of their underlying problems. akane would do anything to avoid somebody thinking she is weak enough to be cared for. but all mikan can do is care and care and care about her. both of them are so willing to shoulder the problems of the other but neither of them want to be seen as burdens, so all they end up doing is silently dance around their issues until eventually somebody caves. INSANE YURI MOMENT

mikan still absolutely has anxiety LMFAO and dare i say..... she's...... kind of better????????????????????? or maybe not actually. going into this i had to think about how to write these characters in a way that felt true to who they are but also remembering that they have GROWN, even if danganronpa really makes them feel as if they havent lol. this is a mikan who has likely endured years of therapy, even if that therapy is SHIT at best. this is also a mikan who has been shoved into the spotlight rather forcibly and has basically been given the choice to adapt or die. so i probably shouldnt say that shes "better", it's more that shes had to modify herself to fit this new lifestyle of hers. she hasnt been given much of a choice, and i imagine shes had a few years to really fuck up and struggle before reaching this point. she is constantly in the spotlight and basically always under scrutiny, so ive sort of swayed away from her wanting attention and focused more on how she reacts to this attention-- shes grown bitter from the negative and she doesnt think she deserves most of the positive. it's this hurricane of problems with mikan and a lot of it involves her own struggle to view herself as a good person, which stems heavily from the insecurities she already had in her game and intensified by what happened outside of it. years of being seen as this iconic chapter three killer has absolutely worn her down a bit, but there is still a part of her that yearns for control over her life and the people surrounding it. she is still SO anxious, ive tried to really hammer home quite a few recurring symptoms with her like her nervous tics, sickness/lack of appetite, hair shedding, etc!! and she is extremely bitter about how shes been treated, too, which im hoping to elaborate on further on down the line. however she really, REALLY can not be passing out in front of cameras or throwing any fits about the exploitation shes endured since shes been a teen because the company she works for wont accept anything that isnt on brand. and underneath it all shes still that scared little kid that desperately wants to please

she's an older mikan but she is still very much hurting, not necessarily any less but in a way that's a bit different if that makes sense :)

you are SO FUCKING NICE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! <33333333333

[objectlovingobject]

As fun as it is having a secret, i kinda wish i could be open abt being objectum. At least on my main socials, not necessarily irl. But I would die if my family found out im osor, not that i think they would be particularly hateful i just have a lot "wrong" with me and i dont wanna add another thing that theyd like. See as a problem.

Ugh I wish i could tell my counselor and my social worker bc i want to be able to talk abt my attraction and my relationship, but i dont want anyone to try and "fix" me

I dont see objectum being widely accepted any time soon, if really ever, but i just want it to be more understood in an academic way? Idk i want osor to be known and understood. I want to be understood.

ranking the pairings tomodachi life came up with with my ocs

10. mol leed x univen

cursed pairing srsly. one might think that theyd be great for each other cause they are both horrible people in general, but that is dooming one more person to be the abuse victim of univen's fuckery and as bad as mol leed is, pairing him (or most others) with univen is just inhumane. his only saving grace is that he would die of radiation poisoning within a few months because univen is radioactive

also mol leed cheated on rosai with univen. i didnt even know they could do that. i thought hed just reject her because he was already in a relationship

9. vipera x sikra

the two to least likely get together on the entire list; vipera would definitely not get into a relationship with anyone and especially 'i only like men who are pathetic failures' sikra. the two wouldnt last two seconds in-universe before vipera would try and eat sikra's spine. too bad she doesnt have one.

8. giaxxa x tip

the only couple on here who would even have a chance of becoming a legitimate thing in-universe, though not out of love. unfortunately ive already explored that scenario, and itd lead to an extremely toxic relationship filled with resentment on giaxxa's side and neglect on tip's side. however the two are good people so long as they don't get together (and so long as tip's mother doesn't interfere too much in his personal life)

7. shönen x pag

heartbreaking: wrestling champion godess marries worlds most boring dude alive. and she doesnt even like men.

the most interesting thing that could come out of this is a break up, and even that'd put me to sleep

6. pud x big sis

want to give throne a stroke? show him this pairing.

this is just a missmatch of personality, mainly. theyd probably have a fine first few weeks, but big sis would probably drive pud nuts with all her philosophizing (and hallucinogen use).

5. pod x seaadi

the funniest part of this pairing is that in-universe seaadi was dating pud so i like to imagine that he just misread pud's name and now started to accidentally date his lover's aunt.

4. tud x okai

from here on, the relationships could actually work. this one wouldnt work THE best, especially with these two's history with politics and responsibility amongst family, but they'd prolly have fun most of the time

tud would not be happy about being dragged right back into politics after they thrusted that job onto pag though

3. king x frishik

the most stable relationship here, with the both of them being extremely calm and rational (in most cases). they'd also be terrifying as a fighting duo

2. sur x tip

this is the FUNNIEST combination i couldve ever hoped for.

tip, older brother of tip, fell in love with his younger brother's girlfriend, giaxxa. he asked her out twice and got rejected both times, then he asked sur, giaxxa's mother, out and actually got together with her. tip has become his younger brother's father in law, and later had a child with sur, making that kid both giaxxa's brother and nephew. giaxxa had already a weird family due to his sister being older than her mother by nearly two decades, the poor girl will never get a break

and the two could actually make this work. they've got quite a few things in common and tip has a type for women like sur anyways. sur might need a bit of time to warm up to him, but she enjoys ripping on people who act stupid as hell anyways, and tip would provide a fortune for her

nym x glitch 7

how funny that the two victims of the worst couple on here would make the best couple, but i can genuinely see this one. nym's main interest (linguistics and languages) is one of glitch 7's domains as a god, and the two would probably love to go clubbing together. plus nym would finally have a girl interested in him too, instead of just being drowned in potential boyfriends

also glitch would absolutely carry nym around in one arm when hes feeling lazy and/or sad

💌 for william and 💬 for...... hmm..... any pd

💌 fluffy headcanon

i have been stumped on this for so long dear god. all my fluffy hcs are shippy sooo revenant time. william is the only one with anything close to a normal life so hes the one who. tries. to organise any of their dates. but his idea of fun is "i heard a bunch of hikers went missing on this trail lets go check it out!" though those are rare in the city (to ashes relief because. what the fuck man). theyd go to an art museum (because william googled "date locations near me") and have absolutely no idea whats meant to be going on but spend atbleast an hour walking around pretending to be art critics despite anyway and making eachother laugh

💬 favorite line they've said

aughhghhah... my memory is ass so i honestly dont know any specifics. BUT i think one of my favourite pd scenes just in general... god. thr only thing thats coming to mind is the ghostknife jumping out a window scene because i have wiwi on the brain but im sure if i like. actually put though into it id come up eith something better. i love william and dakotas repeat conversations where william thinks hes going to die and tells dakota not to like. lose hope if he does and dakota has his NO william. youre going to be ok we'll protect you and each other because we're a team. i really love those kinds of moment esp since its come up like... at least 3 times

[wibblyparfait]

normally i'd wait to post doodles n just do it all in one go but. ysee ive been having Ilis brainrot and i need to ramble abt all the lil factoids thatve formed since the last time i yelled abt them 🏃‍♂️ SHDBDB

(aka OC Rambles under the cut BUT otherwise. enjoy the manager treating Ilis to some better ego for once. theyd still rather wear the Rudolta suit cuz They R Making A Statement BUT yk!!! kinda swag to have some better drip every so often!!! or at least their Sephirot seems to think so <3 SHFJDJFB!!!!!!!)

HI. ITS ALL UNHINGED RAMBLES FROM HERE. 

Hes an orphan!! which. shouldnt b surprising cuz The City Sure Is A Fuck but!!! at least in his orphanage he had two mom figures as his caretakers 👍!!!!!

Said orphanage was p well off for a while so thats how he. could afford a fuck-it expense like a tail augment but ofc that status couldnt rly last + he just!!! wanted to repay his moms for taking care of him so!!!! into Abnorm Capitalism he goes!!!!! 

Honestly?? just vibing for the most part. Yea sure its hellish being in a place where u can die anytime from wack ass monsters but!!! being on the resident Everything Is Fine And Ok In Welfare team + on Talk To The Abnorms To Keep Them Happy duty w Attachment work does wonders for this silly extroverted mfer :) 

Now no one tell him that cuz of the whole time fuckery inside the facility hes probably died a million times from all sorts of usual LobCorp deaths and that all his hard work might b for naught since his moms + the orphanage mightve been fucked over by Usual City Happenings while hes been away oops- 

Its fine!! Everything’s fine!!! Ilis is living their best life as stated earlier!!!! maybe a little too good of a life since theyre a lil too eager to help sometimes and just Asserts Assistance more often than not but!!! hey it works out for his coworkers so >:)!!!! 

(the only thing the Manager wont let him assert assistance on is working with Alephs but. lets b real thats a blessing cuz Ilis would teach Blue Star how to do a lil boogie/J AKJHGHGFDJD) 

ACTUALLY SPEAKING OF OTHER CURSED THINGS im so sorry he doesnt like strong coffee </3 sacrilege to the Welfare team i know/J (re: dw ik Chesed’s rly chill abt coffee dislikers but despite being a Chesed-kisser he’ll have an americano (aka coffee-flavored water/J) at best and prefers fizzy drinks otherwise 😩 DFKGJHFD) 

And while im thinking abt ops on Sephirah. ngl Ilis woulda loved to work with either Disciplinary or Training at first since!!! those departments line up w/ how he feels most helpful (re: taking care of abnorms b4 they can do harm + teaching ppl w protocols) BUT he was transferred to Briah b4 he could properly meet Hod and is still too much of a coward to properly face abnorms on the front line (+ now thinks he would get vaporized by Gebura for that/J) so. whoops 🤷

ITS OK ENDING UP IN WELFARE TURNED OUT RLY WELL AS MENTIONED EARLIER. HES DOING GREAT THERE N WOULDNT RLY WANNA SWITCH DEPARTMENTS NOW ANYWAY >:)) 

and now. the part where i get even more unhinged over incoherent OCxCanon thoughts (why is their ship name Chilis why is their ship name Chilis why is th-/JJ/LH DFKGJFD) 

Honest to god theyre both hopeless workaholics what the fuck. but also at least Ilis refuses to let Chesed cover some of his work and goes to take his mug back to the breakroom whenever hes done dminking/brings him some more coffee as soon as hes back from Sephirah meetings n whatnot ✨ and whenever Ilis is inevitably lying face-down on the ground after a long day’s work + avoiding abnorms breaching left and right Chesed needs no other excuse to let him rest in a safe room and offer a warm drink of choice to help ease the exhaustion :)

(pre-core suppression there prolly isnt much for Chesed to do anyway + It Is Not Fun Possibly Watching This One Nugget That Never Stops Trying To Lend A Hand To Anyone And You Included Die Over And Over In How Many Loops but. shh post-suppression he can finally let himself get attached proper and let Ilis support him and his new resolve Not Just Cuz It Apparently Makes Ilis Happy To Help And He Might As Well Keep His Employees Happy However He Can but also cuz everything he does is appreciated in general 🥺) 

(meanwhile jumpcut to Ilis generally having his shit together and being the emotional support in LC despite his Chaotic Workaholism Tendencies until he finds out afterwards + possibly in Ruina that. gestures to the point abt his moms and the orphanage. but shh thats for future me to figure out i havent gotten that far yet KFDGJD) 

ACTUALLY WAIT SPEAKING OF RUINA u know how the assistant librarians have to get used to using actual weapons instead of the ego ones?? stares at Ilis possibly getting physically stronger. stares at him Looking At His BF With Affectionate Ill Intent. get carried 4head >:) 

(lets b real Ilis has prolly been waiting to Commit Carry cuz. he rly looked at a marketable box and went “yeah thats friendshaped i wonder if i can pick that up like a cat” KFDGFKDJ)

in general can u tell Ilis is the more outwardly affectionate one?? even if tables get turned he just starts vibrating in place like JFHFDKGHDKJ!!!!!!!!! (<- Happi.) hes just like that <3 (tho tbf Chesed doesnt rly seem like the type to get flustered and esp not once hes living his somewhat-best-life in Ruina but shh let Ilis get :)!!!! whenever his affections and unprompted favors r accepted in stride 😌 KFJFGFD)

actually wait while im still thinking abt Ruina it must b weird seeing Ilis w/o the Void Dream gift BUT that is also a problem for future me 👍

IN THE MEANTIME BACK TO UNHINGED SILLIES Ilis is the type to talk to abnorms hes working with like. Fragment of the Universe could say some incoherent mindmelting shit and theyd just b there scribbling important notes into their clipboard while also going “right thats exactly what ive been saying :O”/JJJ DFGKHFDKJ

also if it wasnt obvious Ilis’ tail is prehensile. as an augmentation it prolly has some combat functionality but for the most part he either uses it to drag coworkers away during serious emergencies or have it wag for him during silly moments KJHFGF

Double Also. theres no actual reason he covers his eye (for now perhaps.) its just. style yk 😌 JFJDHGKDF

AND WITH THAT. FINALLY IVE RAMBLED ALL MY THOUGHTS SOMEWHERE. GOODBYE GOODNIGHT I WILL CONTINUE TO BE UNNORMAL ONCE I CAN DOODLE MORE WHEN IM NOT INCREDIBLY BUSY IRL FDFHGFKJ

[mojaves]

could not/did not narrow it down so pick you favorites i guess but 9, 10, 15, 21, 29, 36, 42, 58 and 60 please and thank you (for xavier)

9. Do they cheat to win or play by the rules?

he wouldve played by the rules once but that as a concept has been pretty much beaten out of of him by this point, so he will do whatever it takes to succeed, if anyone has to die because of it then that's just the way it is 🤷 he can't argue with that

10. What do they fantasize about?

his whole life revolves around his work because, unfortunately, he is an arasaka bootlicker [for now] so he doesn't really have any. dreams or desires or whatever. he's too busy to get lost in thoughts like that. and if anything, theyd make him less capable of work, bc it's a distraction and that is the LAST thing both he and his bosses need. he has to be effective and lethal he isnt allowed to think about anything fun ):

15. How would they describe themselves?

honestly he doesnt really know who he is anymore, doesnt really recognise himself in the mirror bc of all the cyberware, and the fact that is brain is mostly soup when it comes to anything that isnt work related. he doesnt even think of himself as a person, he's simply property of arasaka and nothing more, so he wouldnt have anything to say about himself anyway <3

21. What’s one secret of theirs that could potentially ruin a relationship they have?

the fact he has a daughter 👍 not bc of like, ahh!! failed relationship!! kind of thing or whatever. but bc if anyone at arasaka found out [which they did, he just doesnt know that. yet] then she would be in Danger and he would not know what to do about it. he's in hell basically. not really a relationship but like. he doesnt have any friends he's just a machine at that point. what else does he have!!!

29. If they could change one thing about themselves, physical or otherwise, what would it be?

taller. stronger. faster. literally anything that would make him work better. he'd shut his brain off completely if he had the opportunity. he needs to be Effective and if theres anything that could even potentially negatively impact that, he wants it Gone. again. bootlicker. nothing else in his life so he is entirely dedicated to work.

36. What’s their favorite thing about themselves?

everything about him has been crafted/altered by arasaka in some way, and while he doesnt think about it most of the time, he will have a brief moment when having some downtime where he absolutely hates who he is and what he's become. he doesnt even know what parts of himnare actualy Him anymore. the only thing left untouched on his face is his nose and he is Very fixated on that. it's the only thing keeping him sane. also his unwillingness to back down when theres a problem. and the love he has for his daughter which no one could ever get rid of. when he has those brief moments of clarity, those are the few things that keep him going despite it all. and im very normal about it.

42. What’s the typical first impression after meeting this person?

unless you work at/with arasaka, your first meeting with him will also be your last bc the vast majority of the time, he's only let out in order to assassinate someone, or, at the very least, intimidate + torture in order to get information. which sometimes ends in death. and people Know this so of course theyre going to be terrified to see him. if it's someone at arasaka meeting him for the first time though, they usually think he's very polite, if not a little intimidating. but he's there to keep them all safe [for now] so that alone would ease any stress at least,,, For Now

58. If they could change one thing about their life, what would it be?

despite being the bootlicker that he is [for now] he sometimes gets a little bit lost in thought on quiet days and catches himself wishing he never chose to work for arasaka bc it is the Worst thing that ever happened to him. he immediately has to either get himself blackout drunk or kill someone to deal with that and then he's normal again

60. What are some of their simple pleasures?

all the man wants is a comfy bed, a nice cup of coffee, and a hug. thats all!!! and he's not getting any of that!!! he hasnt had anything like that in Years!!! please someone help him

[bigfanofwomen]

i just finished playing the answer so i am going to rant here ^_^ spoilers

The beginning is my problem it took way too long to get to a boss and you had to walk all the way back there if you used the teleporter right before the boss I'd mostly use the split up exploit sometimes sso not that bad but it was annoying

Mini bosses were really unforgiving it didnt feel that satisfying to defeat them because i felt like i was getting nowhere ,,,, everything was really pretty at least even recycled dungeons felt different

You can see the state my team is in T_T

??? boss fight was somehow really fun (i played the new moon mod after all the minibosses)) he charmed me a few times but there were no casualties yukari died a few times

I didnt have the motivation to fuse because no compendium :/ i fused only near the end , fused Loki for mitsuru and yukari which i thought was perfect Loki's resistances actually did help !! didnt even mean to fuse Loki it was random lol also Kohryu for healing i only used those two even at Erebus Kohryu helped out a lot

Teammate bosses were also unforgiving .. Akihiko and ken were the easiest but ken's hama spells got me a few times akihiko refused to die

Junpei and koromaru were definitely the hardest dealing with ailments and insta kills are hard and power charged vorpal blade ... I was stubborn to not fuse nor grind lol

Yukari and mitsuru were easier than i expected :/ and i was really looking forward to it and thought theyd mostly use magic (which they did but they had physical skills too) I took out mitsuru first since metis couldnt endure the mind charged mabufudyne also they both use megidolaon if you have makarakarn / magic mirror on anyone i dont know if its the same for tetrakarn

Erebus was nothing 2 special it was easy

Onto the story there is nothing wrong with it honestly ?? I enjoyed it a ton it is a great sequel !!! I dont have much to say afhjsdkm i loved it

Now the Yukari thing i think there is nothing wrong or out of character with how she acts she is a teenager going through grief and she apologized to aigis like three times i think persona fans have a problem with women experiencing and showing their emotions

The aigis might die / lose her memories stuff were really unnecessary imo

Overall It was OK! The ending made me happy
