I think there's something wrong with my rhythm heaven fever copy

[sketch-twentytwo]

A tale as old as time: a brilliant chase between a sly phantom thief and a—hey wait a minute!

Phantom Thief!Shuichi Saihara and Detective!Kokichi Ouma for my fic, [He Lies in Spades].

Where in Shuichi is a daring yet methodical phantom thief/vigilante dead set on exposing the truth and Kokichi is the eccentric, genius detective hot on his tail!

(reuploaded because I realized that my PT!Saihara looked too similar to a few PT!Ouma's, my bad! New design has more of a detective trench coat vibe befitting of our retried private eye!)

Thinking about Kipperlilly Copperkettle and how she's always had an issue with rage and a nagging, gnawing instinct that things aren't "right" and things aren't "fair" and this instinct flares whenever the Bad Kids are in view, are mentioned in passing.

She is smarter than them, yet she is passed over for accolades.

She has accomplished things in her own right, yet they are not discussed as fondly, as commonly, as the Bad Kids' deeds.

She has done everything "right", born to the "right" family, pursued the "right" class, is doing school the "right" way and it can't even win her, what should be, a stupid election.

And this anger builds and builds until she can't take it and tries to find out what it is about the Bad Kids makes them so special, and in doing so gets a peek behind the curtain of their world.

That the Bad Kids are the only beings in this world with free will, as they are PCs. Meanwhile Kipperlilly is an NPC.

Which means she will never be the hero in her story. Nothing she could ever do will make a difference. The one thing the Bad Kids have that she doesn't is agency.

And so if that's the case, if she can't be the hero in her story given the constraints, she will be the "villain" to the Bad Kids in the hope that, in doing so, she can break the wheel and reclaim her agency.

And this anger, this sense of injustice, is why Ankarra finds Kipperlilly to be the perfect instrument to reenter the world. Why Kipperlilly finds Ankarra to be the perfect weapon to set against her enemies. A devil's bargain.

what was komaeda like during his school years at hpa?

bc there are contradicting stuff in the series

in sdr2, it was because of the stress of the killing game that caused him to be active in causing mayhem, like convincing ppl to kill in ch1 and 2

in island mode, he's pretty harmless, he just says some out of pocket stuff from time to time

but in makoto's secret file, komaeda was "constantly getting into trouble, so much so that it concerned the headmaster"

and idk if he's just being weird, or he just straight up doing criminal stuff in hpa

(if the former was true, i find it ao funny bc in the short story, the board of directors, four old men, shuddered at the mere thought of this guy)

returning back to topic, i wonder what kind of environment hpa actually is. bc it is described as the most peaceful and hopeful time before junko came along. we never actually saw what its actually like inside

if its a really stressful environment, almost matching the stress of the killing games, then it would make sense that komaeda would start shit up; otherwise it doesnt

in the dr3 anime, it really seems like its a very laid back school, where the stress only came from the examinations that come from time to time. other than that, the students just do their own thing in the meantime, i dont think they even hold classes

well, i dont think the dr3 anime is canon, cuz its not written by the dr team nor kodaka

I am the only person upholding this fandom on tumblr

Okay funny idea: whenever Junko starts getting too nuts about despair Kokichi has developed the habit of just shoving a chocolate milk carton into her hands and makes her drink the chocolate milk

Like his weird aunt is being extra weird again, she's just cranky and needs choccy milk

RE danganronpa not having the best writing I was talking to a friend the other day about v3 about how it sucks that they set up Kaede to be the protagonist but then killed her off because while yes, Shuichi is a very good protagonist and he’s the only one that really gets interesting character development, Kaede could have so easily been an insanely interesting protagonist if she got to live because she has plenty of room to grow since she’s very clearly scared shitless and is deeply insecure about her ability to motivate and lead the group, but she smiles through it and lies about her feelings so much that the player doesn’t even know about her creating an elaborate murder scheme. And I realized that the way to keep her as a protagonist is for there to be a way that the first trial ends and someone else is found to be the killer (for example it could be Tsumugi if she weren’t the mastermind, or maybe someone else was in the library and killed Rantaro) and they get executed and thats that. Then at the end of the chapter we get a scene where Kaede is alone in her room and sighs in relief as it’s revealed that she hatched an elaborate plan to kill the mastermind but she wasn’t found guilty, either because she wasn’t the actual killer or because she was being protected by the mastermind. And so we the player have to proceed with the new knowledge that Kaede not only wanted to kill someone, she actually went through with a whole plan to kill someone and we didn’t even know about it and neither did any of the characters. And Kaede is on edge because on one hand she has to live with the fact that she was perfectly okay becoming a killer and that she failed to kill the mastermind so the game is going to continue and someone else was unlucky and got executed instead of her,but on the other hand she’s relieved that she wasn’t the one who died and that she was given another chance to find the true mastermind and no one has to know what she did. And as the game progresses it gets more and more stressful for her because she tries to keep up the positive energy but she’s living with this massive secret and she can’t let anyone find out about what she did and she finds herself still wanting to kill the mastermind so we the player don’t know how much we can trust Kaede anymore since she’s lying to everyone including us and she can very well kill again if she wants to

is there anyone else in the boat of “i know i would love homestuck which is why i can never read it out of fear of who i would become” or is it just me

[kokorozasumono]

And so… this life-threatening trial billowing with hope and despair… has begun.

closer look at the colored versions!! i tried to include as many hc details as i could that didnt involve editing the art itself (it would’ve taken too long)

Beginning Intermission

.......

......

....

..

???: And so...here we are....

A young man is tied to a chair in the center of a dark room, the ceiling lamp above him being the only source of light. His face is hidden under a potatoe sack painted with a smiley face. Another person, obscured by the darkness, stands right behind him with a gun near his head.

???: We've waited too long for this...and here you are, finally at our mercy.

Tied-up Man: Please....you don't have to do this...

???: ....heheheh.... How cute. Do you really think we're going to stop now? This is only just the beginning. Besides, I'm not the one tied up with a gun to my head.

Tied-up Man: Listen, I know you've all suffered, I understand, but this-

???: Quiet! You don't know shit! You're lucky that the master's even keeping you alive right now.

Tied-up Man: ....

???: Nothing...? Figure's. It won't matter anyway. You won't be here once this ends. I honestly can't wait to see the hope drain from your eyes. Seeing everything you sought to protect crumble to dust, all while you sit here and watch, unable to do anything. It hurts, doesn't it?

Tied-up Man: ....

???: You've all brought this upon yourselves. Soon, everyone will finally understand who the true false angel is! My master will be their new savior! A new dawn of despair will soon be upon them!

Tied-up Man: Please....don't do this....

???: There's no point in begging anymore. Squirm all you want. There is no hope left. No one will hear you. No one will come for you. Your luck has finally run dry, Makoto Naegi.

(And so...it begins)
