Danganronpa Manga Rant- Leon and Sayaka:

@yukiteruakari told me about a Danganronpa Manga edition, and OH MY GOD!!! Thankyou so much for this bro omg.

I'm only up to "Junkos" impaling, but it's so much better than the one I have.

I'll put some screenshots below, and the link too because so far it's translated to English.

Why the Manga is better, what it could do for the fandom:

It gives Sayaka and Leon so much more development as characters and seeing as Mondos case is next we might get to see what they talked about in the sauna. (<- there are so many fan theories for that one, and I'm excited to finally get more lore.)

It's hard to be a Danganronpa fan in 2024 because it all happened 14, 12, and 7 years ago. So like... Spike aren't going to just start explaining more lore on twitter randomly because they feel like it, Danganronpa is done, but this manga helps us understand the killers motive.

If ALL of the fandom read it I'd probably assume the "Mondo Brother Killer >:(" cliche that some of the fandom define him as would be gone, because it has his POV instead of a Monokuma flashback and a shitty animated clip of him doing it "for no reason" other than being "strong-strong-strong-strong-strong" (from the canon game and animation 2014.)

LeoXSaya Rant, Manga>>>Animation:

And yes, Sayaka was revealed to be a bit more of a "snake" (she isn't btw) but her motives were humane and we only thought she wasn't because Makoto is the protagonist and wouldn't think bad about any of his friends.

It also gives Leon haters a reason to stfu and enjoy his character design and small role while it lasts, and it's better than playing his FTEs because he's just gloating about picking up chicks and being better than everybody at Baseball despite hating in from what I've seen.

Also, the art is just BETTER.

The dialogue is just BETTER!

They gave Sayaka a reason to invite Leon over. Because in the anime and game yes it's "wow Sayaka is so hot" on Leons part, but wouldn't that mean Leon would've been the person to invite her to HIS room instead?

But in the Manga they explain her thought process, anybody who hasn't read it will probably just go "Sayaka's dumb for inviting a STAR ATHLETE to try and kill!" but she's smart because if she had killed him she already had an alibi. "We were friends! We bonded over music and drank tea together!" or something... saying that, Sayaka couldn't WIN because Makoto knew about the room swapping ofc. And she'd leave evidence and whatnot.

*Sighs* The Animation Butchered Our Boys...:

(BOYS BECAUSE THE ANIMATION BUTCHERED SO MANY CHARACTERS AND GAVE THEM PISSY MOTIVES AND SHIT-)

I hate the anime alot, but the thing that PISSED ME OFF THE MOST (about 1-1 of the animation) WAS LEON'S REACTION. He was having a mental breakdown, which was fine and accurate... probably good as well instead of him screaming "stupid" then losing it halfway through the word and realising his fate quietly.

They give him a moment of remorse.

"I didn't want to... I mean she... she was tring to... kill me... right? I just... didn't know what else to do... okay...?" (quote end)

but then he gets mad.

I don't know about you, but on first watch this ruined it for me. "He's just screaming now..." like... it makes me mad for almost no reason.

He was about to have a very humane moment of "I didn't have a choice..." he's looking down at the pedestal thingy in the court, he's defeated, he's sad, he's been caught. He's in despair.

Then he yells at the others "you would've done the same thing in my shoes!"

And you know what the writers did instead of making him cry after that? Anything... would've been better, but this is the dam animation we're talking about...

"I DIDN'T HAVE A CHOICE OKAY! THE CRAZY SKANK WAS GOING TO KILL ME, WHAT WAS I SUPPOSED TO DO?!"

He did have a choice...

The manga gave him a choice, he tried to save Sayaka. Then he ended up killing her, ON ACCIDENT. That line alone contradicts the fact of any of that happening, he and Sayaka had just bonded hours earlier.

Like, this is my opinion and I've never heard anybody talk about this before, BUT THE WRITERS NEEDED TO WRITE LEON BETTER!!! The game wrote Leon fine, but the animation was a second chance at giving him development!

I liked him trying to escape the court room though. That was a nice touch that I don't think was in the game.

BUT BROOOOO HE CALLED SAYAKA A SKANK HOURS AFTER ADMITTING HE WAS CRUSHING ON HER, DANGANRONPA ANIMATION WHERE'S THE LOGIC!

Like, the scene made me so mad on re-watch and I can't pinpoint why!

Like instead of this: https://youtu.be/CbQ6McYz7U0?t=59

(Good animation though imo, the closeup expressed his emotions nicely-)

HAVE THIS THOUGH, THIS IS SO MUCH BETTER!

IT JUST HITS WAY BETTER-

Anyway, that's my rant of the day because why not.

The game itself had issues, but compared to the animation it was just so much better, and makes me want to give it a 7/10 instead of a 6...

[polyamory-and-pot]

So I kinda wanna vent but I've already talked with my family about the issue and they either didn't understand my issue with one of the points or didn't have the time to actually sit and talk. So here we are.

Some backstory: A couple months ago a new girl was added to my group of friends. We'll call her Shay (fake name). I had heard a bit about Shay but hadn't met her yet. It sounded like my group of friends had a slight issue with her causing drama but they didn't want to cut her off too fast, so they tried giving her another chance. I met her for the first time when we celebrated my friends birthday and she seemed pretty cool. We started messaging over Snapchat, where she invited me to her birthday party in a couple months. I agreed and we kept chatting, and eventually my friend group decided they didn't want the drama Shay was creating. So they kicked her out of our group. I told them I hadn't had any issues with her and so I was gonna stick it out and see how things went and everyone understood and respected my decision. So for the last few months we've kept up chatting and yesterday was the day we got together for her birthday party. At first I had the plans mixed up, thinking we'd be doing everything yesterday, spending the night and going home today. But the actual plan was to do some plans yesterday, some plans today and go home tomorrow. I knew I couldn't last in a social situation that long so I planned to come home last night and I did. The issue starts with the events of yesterday. The first thing I noticed was that I felt a bit excluded from some things with Shay. We had gone out with a mutual friend and it felt like Shay talked more with the mutual friend while leaving me out. We went to a movie and I was asked to grab the seats so they could get food, and so I did and went and got my own food when they returned. Then through out the movie Shay would talk with our mutual friend or be on her phone, but she never really talked to me.

As Shay was driving she was often on her phone either texting or changing the music and I wasn't super comfortable with it but didn't mind enough to speak up. But our mutual friend had spoken up about it multiple times, going so far as to yell at Shay because she was texting and driving when a cop drove by. Shay then got pissy with our mutual friend for yelling at her.

At some point we had stopped for McDonald's and I commented on how the person working the window was a child (on god this kid had to be under 15.) To which Shay responded he was a disabled child. I really didn't like the comment because as I saw it the boy hadn't physically appeared disabled and that comment felt inappropriate regardless. (This is the point one of my parents doesn't understand.)

As we were out in town we stopped by a crystal shop cause i offered to by Shay a crystal for her birthday and this way she could pick out what she wanted. She found a pretty bracelet and asked if this could be her gift. I immediately said yes but then got a glimpse of the tag and had to ask how much it was. It was $73. And I've got mixed feelings about this point. Because I don't mind spending money on my friends, but that was a lot of money to expect a friend to pay for you. And I elaborated with my parent that had it been a friend I was much closer to or a family member I probably would spend that money, but this was my second time meeting Shay. But I also tried to reason that maybe she hadn't seen the price tag or that maybe she has a different relationship with how she spends money on friends or she didn't know that was the price.

And I probably didn't go into yesterday with the best opinion on Shay. While we were talking about plans, there was a last minute change and she was asking if I could drive us. I hate driving, it stresses me out and I spiral down a rabbit hole of my thoughts but I agreed. She then asked if she could control the music and I politely declined saying that music was the one thing that kept me grounded while driving. Because of this she no longer wanted to drive with me, and considered canceling plans because of it. (Which made me feel incredibly guilty but I'm not willing to drive in a big city that I'm not used to without having something to ground me)

After all of this I've basically decided my friends were right and I don't want to continue this friendship with her. But I feel like shit for backing out of plans last minute, especially since I was supposed to drive our mutual friend. But honestly I was planning to do a lot of things that made me uncomfortable for Shay because she was my friend and I wanted her birthday to go as she planned. But now I've realized she isn't someone I'm willing to go out of my comfort zone for.

I love doing absolutely nothing on my days off. I used to feel so much guilt/shame around not doing anything, but now I am so grateful to be able to have days like this. I should probably shower, though.

I went over to Alex and Liz's apartment for a couple hours last night. Watched them take turns playing Little Nightmares 2. It was a fine visit, glad I was able to make it out. I didn't particularly enjoy Alex screaming at the top of her lungs right next to me, but nothing I could do except gently remind her she has fucking neighbors.

I always have to park in visitor parking when I go over there and wait for one of them to open the gate (like the whole ass car gate). I called and texted but Alex's phone was face down on the coffee table. I didn't text Liz because Alex has gotten upset in the past that I only talk to Liz, so I was trying to include Alex through small actions. Anyway, two gals left through the gate after only about a minute of me standing there, so I slipped in while they slipped out. But, when I left, so on my way out, I also texted Alex to let me out. I stood there for like two minutes (and it was cold) before she finally texted me that there's a foot door on the side of her building to get out. Which meant I would have to backtrack, go through the gate, and then walk to, and past where I was already standing. I'm not gonna lie I was a little salty about it. Ultimately it's whatever, but jeeeeez alriiiiiight. Liz texted me when I was pulling out asking if I made it to my car alright. I said yes but it was cold I didn't like that, and she said I should've texted her she would've let me out. And I know I should've. I wanted to, but I was still trying to make Alex feel more involved and special and it was all for nothing whatever.

Such a minor event, but still. It's stuff like this that seems to build up when it comes to Alex. Things have to go how she wants them to go and also fuck other people's feelings. I don't know if that last bit is true at all, I'm just a little pissy from last night and the previous text message conversation I had with her. Which, I still didn't get to talk to her about. I honestly don't know how to bring it up? Like, "hey you can't say shit like this to me even when you're upset". I don't feel like I can tell her how to behave. I mean, I know if I think about it for more than two seconds I know I wouldn't phrase it that way, but it still feels like it could come off that way.

"I want to be there for you when you're upset, but I am not capable of doing that if you start to get accusatory or try to guilt trip me. There are certain phrases that you have said in the past (insert: but like fuck alex right? that's fine, i just don't have any friends. i just want to hang out with my friend's for once) that are not accurate and overdramatize reality that I feel are intended to make me feel terrible. I don't react well when people intentionally try to guilt trip me, because of my mother. It will have the opposite affect that you want." blah blah blah something along those lines, I'm still kind off irritable so there still might be some aggression in between the lines, idk. I'll work on it.

You know, I was talking about the trivia night texts with Seb and he stopped me early on into me relaying the conversation to him to say that she (Alex) for some reason is putting her not-being-able-to-go onto me. That she is putting this restriction on herself (she doesn't want to hang out with my bf anymore) but putting her deciding to miss out on things on me because I said yes to something we were invited to. And like, yeah, she is! I think she 100% is and that's why she said the things she said. I don't think she even realizes that that isn't an okay thing to do. Ah, that's something else I'll have to add into the conversation I want to have with her.

"This is a restriction you have chosen to put on yourself (mind you, she won't go to things at all if we'll be there, even when she wouldn't have to interact with my bf at all) and it is not my responsibility to bare the weight you feel from the consequences of that decision." Something like that.

God, I am so tired of thinking about this. I literally don't ever think about people this much when I'm alone. I like to fuck off and do my own shit, but this whole ordeal has really consumed my brain and I feel like a fucking crazy person. At least it's not a constant thing, but it is still far more prevalent than I'd like for it to be. I didn't even mean to write this much. I'd love to talk about literally anything fucking else, but I guess I don't have much else to say since this is all I could manage for today.

I AM SO SORRY FOR THE WAIT! TUMBLR DELETED MY E N T I R E STORY! HOPE YOU ENJOY!!

XxX

Summer Vacation!

It was wonderful! No studying, or tests, or random pop quizzes. It was just so wonderful!

At least, you thought it was.

Your favorite apparition, on the other hand, thought it was the worse thing in the absolute world.

As you walk into his bathroom, he latches his hands to your cheeks, amber eyes big and glossy, bottom lip jutting out.

"[Y/n]! You're not really leaving for three weeks, right?" He asks, eyes searching your face.

You grasp his hands in your own, prying them away from your face. You hold them, head tilting to the side, his sadness at the thought of your absence warming your heart.

"I don't really have a choice." You say, making him pout more.

"That's not fair! What will you even do for three weeks?"

"Well, definitely not clean bathrooms." You laugh, finding your small jab funny.

Hanako, however, did not.

His deadpan expression causes you to sober up quickly, and squeeze his hands in yours. You take your right hand and place it against his cheek. He leans into it somberly, eyes staring at the ground in a child like tantrum.

"I'm sorry, Hanako.. I would take you with me if i could.."

You both stood there for a moment, Hanako refusing to leave your touch, and you enjoying the cool feel of his skin. Suddenly, his eyes sparkle, excitement rolling off him like waves. He starts to float, hand still in yours as he exclaims, "Wait, wait, wait!" He grabs your right hand as well, "I'm pretty sure i've heard Tsuchigomori talk about being able to leave boundaries before!"

"You have?" You ask, brows furrowing.

The bathroom door opens, and feet shuffle into the restroom.

"You can leave the school?" Yashiro asks, her question announcing her arrival.

"I didn't think that was possible..?" Kou pipes up, also announcing his presence.

At the sound of his voice, you turn towards him, eyes glistening with mischief, "You do know this is the girls bathroom, right?"

Kou's face flares up, an indignant yell escaping his throat, "Of course i know!" He defends, "But this is Hanako-kun's place! So you should be calling him a pervert!"

"I never called you a pervert?" You respond coyly, watching Kou's face turn even more red. He turns away from you, embarrassment written all over his face. Yashiro giggles, patting the embarrassed boy in reassurance.

Ahhh... He was just so fun to mess with sometimes..

Hanako lets go of your hands and floats in between you and Kou, a bit of jealousy spiking in his chest from your friendly interaction. He wraps his arms around your neck, cheek pressed to yours. He stares at the blond, who stares back questioning.

"What?" He asks, a brow rising.

"..Nothing.." The ghost answers, cheek rubbing against yours.

"Oh don't start with that, again!" Kou yells, a fist in the air.

You and Yashiro share a look, and burst into laughter. After a moment, Yashiro claps her hands together, gaining the attention of the two bickering boys. She places her hands on her hips proudly once they look at her and announce, "Alright! Let's go see Tsuchigomori and have the best summer vacation ever!"

XxX

"Yeah, that's not happening." Tsuchigomori says, flipping a page in his current book. He takes a drag of his cigarette, blowing the smoke towards the four of you. "At least, not for three weeks."

"Then how long?" You pipe up, cutting off Hanako's small whine. You loved him, truly, he absolutely had your whole heart.

However, he could be a real brat if you didn't stop him before hand.

"A day, maybe a couple hours." The teacher responds, closing his book with a snap and looking up at you.

Not to be dramatic or anything, but you felt kind of honored.

"A day?-" Hanako whines,

"-Or a couple hours-" Tsuchigomori says quickly,

"-But [N/n]-chan will be gone for weeks..!" Hanako finishes, not caring about the small break in his sentence.

"Why do i feel like we're chopped liver..?" Kou mumbles, Yashiro nodding along with him.

"Because we are.." Yashiro responds, just as deadpan.

"What if i fought you?" Hanako asks, not even blinking at the thought.

Tsuchigomori's eyebrow twitched, but you didn't know if it was out of annoyance.. or fear. "I don't really have a say on it.."

You grasp Hanako's hand, giving it a gentle squeeze. He turns towards you, and you give him a small smile, "Maybe we should take it..? We can make it the best day ever! What do you think?"

You could tell he wanted to decline, to fight with Tsuchigomori more to get his way. However, after a few moments of your silent stare off, he agrees.

"Great! Now we all just need to agree on what to-"

"What about the beach?" Yashiro says excitedly, "It's summer! There's ice cream, and we can make sand castles! Oh! And there's-"

"-A chance you'll find prince charming??" You say, smiling teasingly at your best friend.

"Yes, a chance i will find my prince charming." She nods, happily agreeing with your statement.

It makes you snicker.

"What do you think, Hanako? Kou?" You ask, glancing between the two.

"I'm all for it!" Kou cheers, pumping his fist in the air, his staff jingling from the movement.

Hanako places his free hand up to his mouth in thought, mumbling, "It has been a long time since I've seen the ocean.."

"Then it's decided! We meet outside Sunday morning!" You turn to the spider themed ghost, "You do whatever you need to let Hanako have the best day ever!"

The teacher just smirked, and that was all the answer you needed.

XxX

"No, Absolutely not." You whip your head at Kou, arms cross in annoyance, "He was not invited!"

You point your finger at the older Minamoto brother, who only snickers at your angry gesture.

"I'm really sorry, [Y/n]-senpai! He just really wanted to come..!"

"Kou, hun, you precious thing, do you not remember he tried to obliterate Hanako??"

Yashiro whacks your shoulder lightly from her spot behind you, peeking over to look at her weird crush.

Teru smiles down at you, and if you were anyone else, you might've been charmed. But you're not, and you weren't.

It just made you pissy.

"I'm sorry for inviting myself, I just wanted to make sure Hanako-kun didn't bother anyone else." He says cooly.

You narrow your eyes up at him, "He hasn't bothered anyone.."

You hear Yashiro start to pipe up, but in a childish wanting to be right you yell, "NO ONE."

This only causes the tall blond to laugh.

"[N/n]-Chaaan!~"

"Hanako!" You yell happily, turning away from the annoying Minamoto brother. However, when you saw Hanako's beach wear you blink.

It was..

Hanako slams into you, wrapping his arms around your neck. You hug back, laughing at his excitement.

It was a horrendous outfit... But somehow he made it work.

XxX

"Wow...! I forgot how massive the ocean was!" Hanako yells over to you, feet already submerged into the salty body.

You took off your over layers, folding them up neatly and putting it onto your towel. "I know, it's big and sparkly, I really like it!" You respond, matching his energy.

"Yeah, It's like-" Suddenly, he stops. Wondering why his sentence was cut short you turn towards him, but he was facing the ocean.

"Hanako?"

Nothing.

"Hanako-kun??"

Yep, no response.

You huff, placing your hands on your hips, "Amane!"

The only response you got that time was his posture stiffening.

You storm over to him, grabbing his shoulder and turning him to face you. But instead, you got a face full of hat.

So, you try to put your face near his, which results in him turning his face to the right.

So you follow, and he turns left.

Okay..

Nope, now he's looking straight up.

"Amane! Why are you being stubborn!" You scold, trying to look at him.

"You're.." He starts, but his sentence trails off.

"Huh??"

"You're... Not wearing..."

"Not wearing..? Oh! Well i can't wear regular clothes to swim!" You laugh, stepping away from him, "it's my bathing suit! Ne-chan let me borrow it..!"

"You look.. Different." He settles, glancing at you and the ground.

You smile softly at him, grabbing his hand and tugging him back to the water. "C'mon! Let's go absolutely wreck Ne-chan and Kou-kun in a splash fight!"

This perked Hanako right up, and allowed you to drag him towards the two others.

This was probably the best day of his dead life so far.

[artbymintcookies]

if ur taking requests still.. could we get foggy antagonizing matt in the office? i read a fic once where karen didn't know about dd and came back in the middle of an out of control throwing-shit battle instigated by foggy who kept throwing things at matt's head to see if he could catch them (he could) anyway matt didn't want to out himself to karen so he took a textbook to the face n that scene lives within my brain forevermore

hope you don’t mind more words! Also Idk if this is what you had in mind but these boys are straight up mean to each other. under the cut bc long

wait how did this lowkey turn into a full kinda sad fic i’m so sorry

Foggy was angry at him. He knew this because Foggy had told him as much, but also because there was no way any person who was not driven to insanity through passionate rage would put rancid coffee in the coffeemaker. It was from the tin at the back of the cupboard that no one dared touch, liquid tar sitting in their kitchenette just to waft into Matt’s nose until someone did something about it.

Foggy, meanwhile, had a nice steaming cuppa from the coffeeshop across the street. He had bought one for Karen as well.

Finally, noon rolls around, and the stench had been looming around the office for long enough that he broke. He dumped it into the sink, worsening the smell as it coated the drain.

Tersely, he brought the empty carafe into Foggy’s office and plopped it down onto his desk.

Slowly, Foggy looked up to him.

“Can I help you?” he asked sweetly.

“Do I have something to apologize for?” Matt shot back.

“Was there something off about the coffee?”

“I’m not doing this right now,” he said, storming out of the room and trying to focus.

-

Foggy clicked his pen when he was peeved. It was usually only semi conscious, with the added benefit that it bored into Matt’s skull every time.

Matt could take precisely 6 minutes of it before he stormed into Foggy’s office, felt around for a capped pen, and replaced it in Foggy’s hand.

“This is a red pen. I’m not writing notes with this,” Foggy said flatly.

“As long as the clicking stops, I don’t care,” Matt retorted. “Is this also part of my torture?”

“I’d hardly call it torture.”

“You’ve been rude to me all week, and I don’t know what I did wrong.”

“If you don’t know, you don’t know.

-

Foggy continued not to talk to him for another week. Matt developed an urgent need to punch something. So he did, repeatedly and hard, every night for a week, and then he stumbled into Karen’s apartment with bloody knuckles because he sure as hell wasn’t going to talk to Foggy about it.

“Woah, hello there, Mr. Devil. Doesn’t your partner usually look after you?” Karen asked, opening the window to let the man enter.

“‘Usually’ being the operative word,” Matt spit bitterly.

“On the outs again?”

“Rough patch,” he corrected. “I’ll fix it. I just need to find out why he’s being so pissy.” 

“Ouch,” Karen deadpanned. “Why can’t he just be legitimately upset at you?”

“I haven’t done anything.”

Karen sighed. “What do we know? Inaction can sometimes be as harmful as action. Willful ignorance, negligence leading to serious harm, what have you.”

Matt paled. “What did I miss?”

“Well, a couple weeks ago, you were supposed to meet Foggy for dinner with his mother.”

“The Rosalind dinner,” he said, horror dawning on his face. “I had to stop a bombing on the other side of town. Did he do it himself?”

“I had to come to his rescue, a half hour late. Apparently, when he had told her she’d be meeting his partner, she had assumed he had meant business partner. She congratulated us on our engagement, by the way.”

“Yeah?”

“I mean, she hated that I was the tardy type. She said she’d ‘loathe to have her son tethered to a flaky type.’ Now, usually, I would hate to agree with the reason Foggy has to take Xanax, but just this once, I see where she’s coming from.”

“I’m so sorry.”

She shrugged. “Don’t tell that to me. I wasn’t the one losing out there. Foggy is a surprisingly good kisser.”

“Okay, yeah. Just invite me to the wedding,” Matt waved at her over his shoulder, booking it out the window.

“You owe me one!” she called after him.

-

The window to Foggy’s bedroom had a trick lock. Normally, it wouldn’t matter because he lived on the 11th floor and no one was ever trying to open it from the outside. Matt thought maybe he should let Foggy know as he shook it open and climbed inside. He could hear Foggy in the kitchen, which wasn’t good because it smelled like he was eating sugar cookies at 11pm, which was a definite depression meal.

“Hey,” Matt said, tapping Foggy on the shoulder. He dropped his plate and it shattered in a deafening noise.

“Get out.” Barely a whisper, and barely concealed irritation.

“I came to apologize.” He put his hands above his head in a show of surrender. “I’m sorry I missed dinner. I’m sorry you had to suffer Rosalind alone.”

Foggy paused for a long moment and shoved him out of the way to get a broom.

“I wasn’t alone. I had Karen.”

“Congratulations on your engagement, by the way.”

It earned Matt a jab in the ribs. It wasn’t gentle, but it wasn’t as violent as it could have been, so he took it as a good sign. “Shut up, I’m still mad at you.”

“And how can we expedite your anger so you go back to loving me?” Matt was suddenly glad no one else seemed to be able to hear heartbeats, because it was hammering in his chest. His palms were clammy in his gloves. What if Foggy still refused?

Foggy was silent as he cleaned up the stray ceramic. The pieces jangled into the trash before he spoke. “Just be better, Matt. I’ve been begging you for years.”

Shedding his gloves, he places them carefully on the counter, and his mask along with it. He felt all the ways his hair is disheveled, the myriad directions it was being pulled. He wanted to look away, but he needed Foggy to see his face.

“I can’t do that if you don’t give me another chance.”

“How many more will it take, Matty? How many other chances am I supposed to give you?”

“I’ll get it right one day, don’t you think?” He tried to smile sheepishly, and hoped it didn’t read as smug.

“Your track record says otherwise.”

Matt frowned, felt his muscles lurch downward grotesquely. He took a step forward and reached for Foggy’s hand. It was selfish, but he wanted to chase it when Foggy slipped out of his grasp. “I can’t lose you, Fogs. Don’t tell me that ship’s already sailed.”

A sigh. “You know, for the first time since maybe ever, I think Rosalind was actually proud of me. She was happy that there’s a firm out there with my name on it big enough to have employees, and that it’s competent enough to win cases more than it loses. I mean, I’m still poor as dirt, but at least I’m not a failure. She was proud that I found a smart and pretty woman to love me. You know what she said?”

“Foggy-”

“She said, ‘thank God you’re not so attached to that Murdock fellow anymore. You were getting a little codependent, were you not?’ I mean, what can I say to that? It’s not like it wasn’t true. She had investigators look you up. Came in with a stack of files three inches thick on everything that you’ve done that might reflect badly on me. And that’s just the Murdock side of you. Can you imagine if they found out about Daredevil?”

Matt felt his chin quiver.

“She called it a proposal. She wanted us to split. And it was so tempting, you know? All these years later, chasing her green light. Pathetic, don’t you think?”

“Is this a break up?”

Foggy shook his head. “No, Matt. I told her to fuck off, and that you’re my best friend and that she won’t be the one to split us up. Stormed out of there faster than Rosalind could be billed. Because I show up, for you, Murdock. I can’t do this if it’s not reciprocal.”

“It’s reciprocal I swear. I had- I’m sorry, I know it’s not an excuse, but there was a bombing on the other side of town.”

“Yeah, in Queens. You could have let Spider-Man handle it. Hell, he showed up to the scene faster than you did, according to the Bugle.”

Matt scrubbed at his face. “Okay, maybe Rosalind scares me a bit,” he admitted.

Finally, it got a chuckle out of Foggy. Dry and barely amused, but present nonetheless. “Yeah, she scares me, too.”

Before they could help it, they were laughing and collapsing onto the floor, and melting into each other’s arms.

“I really am sorry, you know. I’ll never let you face her alone ever again,” promised Matt, finding Foggy’s pinky finger to loop it around his own.

“See to it that you do. And you’re paying next time.”

“I can work with that. Just don’t leave me. Please.”

“It’s a deal, I guess.”

I don't know what the craic is at all #grandma] Janis: [right, so I basically think it's case by case because they could send you to an old people's home and barely check in on you so if the manager of wherever you are is lax then you'd get away with doing the minimum as long as they logged your hours, secondly, I think one thing they should do would be to 'fix' the damage at the school (so the school gets it done for free) but that should just be them and anyone else who got nabbed at the party, so I think when they're there whoever is overseeing would be more extra but maybe here you can get away with a bit more LONG ASS WAY OF SAYING I DON'T THINK THEY NEED TO lmao] Jimmy: [100% agree with that cos then we can do some shit with that too which'll be a different vibe cos like you said more supervised] Janis: [which is a drag but then this girl ain't there so you're shamelessly more happy with that lol] Jimmy: [yeah cos it might literally have just been them who got community service cos their party and they were shamelessly owning it] Janis: [exactly, maybe it's them and some professionals that the school made their 'rents pay for, hence they're more mad about the whole shebang] Jimmy: [Love that, Ian would be so fuming] Janis: [we know, bastard] Jimmy: [Anyway I'll do something to start this chat again lol] Jimmy: 👍?

[purgatoryandme]

Oh I guess in this the difference between our experiences might be that in my case no one really interfered. The kids who were bullied were also seen as bad because they were fat or immigrants or didn't fit into gender roles. Morals in media didn't really touch these topics when I was in elementary school so that might be why. And well a really popular kid who started a lot of fights was raised by his nazi grandfather so... A lot of those "morals" bled into our school and no one took it serious

Jesus Christ, ok, yeah, that’s fair. Yikes. Big yikes, hot damn. In my post I was talking about general experiences from the “average person” assuming a standard of middle of the road schools in relatively urban areas where immigrants aren’t really an uncommon sight and teachers are expected to keep an eye out for EXACTLY this kind of thing. That or after school programs, sports, etc would have authority figures looking out for it. Admittedly it’s still a bit hard for me sometimes to think about elementary schools that are more white than mine was? Pretty much everyone growing up in my school district had at least one really good friend from childhood who was an immigrant or the kid of immigrants, so while some people did have hangups while they were older, it wasn’t particularly prevalent in the kids. As for gender roles, that was kindof a debatable topic? I uh…I might’ve directly impacted whether or not bullying about that occurred, because I was a rough kid who didn’t fit into those boxes, and I’m pretty sure everyone was too terrified to try mocking anything like that after the first few times I got really pissy. You do have a really fair point about fat children catching hell literally all of the time, though again when I was a kid / working at daycare / camp none of the bullying was ever physical. Fat boys actually had a physical advantage when I was a kid just by being harder to knock down - oddly enough, that was actually something one kid built a bit of an empire over (he had a lot of anger issues and literally would ram into people at a dead sprint, bowling them over, and then he’d kick them when they were down. A lot of people were scared of him for quite some time. He eventually worked through it when older kids began inviting him into games until his peers chilled out with the taunts). They did get the vast majority of teasing and pretty brutal teardowns of their self-esteem and I don’t deny that in any way shape or form (in the tags when I mentioned more subtle forms of bullying leaving lasting damage it was in reference to this), however most people still didn’t have the balls to go to the “teasing to the point of literal public tears” level either. It was always insults out of sight - usually by ‘friends’. I’m rambling a bit, but I think we might just have two different interpretations of what I was saying (even if we don’t, I would never wanna illegitamize the experience esp since you were answering a query from me in the first place)? Re: BNHA I’m talking about forms of really overt bullying that are directly treated as ‘evil’ in media (physical violence + aggressive insults over an extended period of time) being unaccepted by children publicly. I’m not talking about ostracizing, mocking nicknames, ‘’’’jokes’’’’, or ‘friends’ using others as lackeys/mocking or manipulating them in private or semi-privacy. Kids could slip by pretty frequently by bullying one person in a small group, but they couldn’t do it anywhere OTHER groups could see and catch on if it was obviously ‘mean’ behaviour.
