You don’t say Chiaki... from this event alone, we learn that Shuichi tends to:

stockpile a bunch of cases he’s inexperienced with

run into convenient clues that may have been directed by others

get dragged into wild conspiracies along the way

All of this book-ended with ‘Ultimate title happening by chance’, feels like it could be a bad omen for his future, if you ask me

[thelyingjoke]

did you know. I think about them all the time........oughieeeeee

Still obsessed with that one izuru scene in dr:s where he’s in the sea testing how long he can hold his breath for and Mukuro and Kaede are just watching from the beach like “…is he good?”

As you said in your post, 100% a big part of the reason the fandom is Like That about Gonta is that drv3 itself is also kinda Like That about him too. RIP Gonta you did not deserve thsi treatment 🙏

Also I followed this acc way back in the day never thought you’d ever post again. Neat

I do understand where the Fandom comes from when it comes to the ableism presented in canon--whether that ableism was a purposeful display of micro-aggressions or an unintentional happenstance. It seems that people do not fully understand what a micro-aggression looks like, and thusly, are not able to understand it.

Still, that is why I originally made my Gonta analysis to begin with--to point out these microaggressions, to talk about it. However, as a friend pointed out to me, I do believe the approach of gently showing everyone what microaggressions look like was a bit too gentle.

Sometimes, you do need to be heavy-handed in order to make your point. I'm glad that people are reblogging it and taking my words seriously. It's a very important topic for me--and I'm sorry for not doing it sooner, to be frank. I should have stopped being stubborn a long time ago.

And, thank you for sticking around. Truth be told, I didn't expect to come back either. However, after so long of being gone and in a fandom where I felt discouraged from analyzing the text and drawing conclusions, I do miss it.

I do not really know what kind of analyses I want to do, however. I have that itch, but I don't have any strong ideas that aren't just, explicitly headcanon based. Perhaps I can discuss headcanons here as well?

I'm not sure. But still. Thank you for sticking around.

in the process of reflecting on how much time has passed between my initial DR phase and this one, it pleases me to note I've become much less of a dick. calmer, more kind. a lot of it has to do with moving out of a heavily abusive household and unlearning a lot of toxic, cutthroat tactics I had picked up just to survive. a lot of it has to do with finding better friends, ones who were kinder and nicer themselves. a lot of it is just plain growing up.

i used to be so hypercritical of things that didn't meet "my standards" of "acceptable/not-cringe" enjoyment of things. i was so high on my own fumes and its terribly embarrassing.

but hey, take 2, I know more and I know better and that has, hilariously, humbled me a lot more than when I knew less.

Ikugami is like. What if we were both groomed into proving our exceptionalism through a willingness to commit violence. What if we’ve been shaped into thinking the world is dog eat dog. What if we’re hyper-vigilant and jaded and nobody understands us or what we’ve endured. What if our families taught us that love was extremely conditional & that it can be earned. What if enduring everything our families put us through made us special actually. What if one of us is 100% aware of our dogged loyalty to our so called family and one of us is in denial. But also what if I will always serve someone else and care abt them more than anyone including myself while you will always self preserve and look out for nobody but yourself. What if my loyalty to someone else is actually a comfort to you bc my disinterest allows you to stay distant and you know what it’s like to be so obsessed over it makes you sick. But also what if my trauma killed my self worth while yours gave you a god complex. What if you are terrified without a sense of control and I am aimless without someone telling me what to do. What if we were both underdogs. What if we were both boys who are girls. What if we’ve both been in disguise. What if we were both known for lying. What if we both returned home having changed. What if my classmates have the life I long for. What if the life you long for is one peaceful day on the beach with your friends. What if neither of us really know ourselves. What if you were handsome but also bad with girls but that’s ok bc I’m not popular either. What if I envied the security of your wealth. What if we withstood each other but it’s not enough. What if we both knew intimately the world is made up of people who eat their young, what if your family was personally Saturn devouring his son, and the only reason you play along for a seat at the table is so that you don’t end up on the menu. What if we were different reflections of the same One. What if we would both shoot our shot with Makoto if we could just pluck up the goddamn courage. What then

if you've been wondering what I've been doing while I've been sick, it's making those sims and writing about OCs.

I'd argue there's a "wolf in sheep's clothing" element to it as well; if we're assuming the characters decided what they'd wear, it makes some sense that Ouma would make that literal and dress in the cutest costume possible to disarm people. Which, come to think of it, is something he does often- pretending to be allot less capable than he actually is.

You know, I made this post while being a little contrary to the ‘wolf in sheep’s clothing’ view plus I’m biased but you make a good point, since the ‘wolf’ is in the persona he holds, and he likes to keep everyone on their toes with it. Kinda like how Kyoko says in the DR:S mode that the Monokubs playful demeanour is designed to lower others’ guard- we can see that at work in the main game too

Okay DRV3 Fans Let's Talk about Canon Ages.

Because I woke up and my brain connected the dots, and because some of you are fucking weird about High-school students. So let's clear the air here--and let's just say they're probably over 18 years old.

In my Gonta rant (which yes I'm linking here, go read it) I call him a young adult. Some people are under the impression (like that anon I got last night) that the V3 cast is canonly 16 or younger due to... whatever the fuck reason. But! I am here to argue a counter point--that the V3 Cast is actually much older and are more college age than young highschoolers.

First of all, let's remember the fact that in all DR games, the cast has gone to high school for some amount of years before their memories are wiped. V3 Also has this feature, and it is within the canon story that these kids remember attending HPA.

Now whether or not you believe this to be true is irrelevant right now because I need you to remember that the backstory for these characters was that they were being hunted down by the Ultimate Hunt, which means they were Ultimate Students at HPA first. Then they had their memories wiped to go into hiding. Yada yada.

The important part actually comes from Kirumi, however. Kirumi is the character that proves that the V3 cast is older than 18 years old.

Remember this tidbit--where Kirumi was the maid of the Prime Minister? Well, when do you think she became the maid for the Prime Minister, do you think?

I have an answer for you.

This is the dialogue from Kaito's "My Future" cutscene from DR:S. The "My Future" Cutscenes take place at the end of the run with the character chosen, and DR:S takes place right at the end of their 3rd year of attending HPA.

Kirumi doesn't specify who she will be working for, but considering that this person is such a big deal what she felt the need to consult Kaito about it, to help her sort out her feelings, I think we can all agree this is heavily referencing V3's plot where she is the Prime Minister's Maid.

This means that Kirumi only took the job as the Prime Minister's Maid at the very end of high school.

That means that by the time V3 runs around, she's well out of high school.

Now you can argue that V3 and DR:S aren't in the same canon--and you'd be right! I would never consider them to be canon to one another. However, this scene shows that in DRV3 and in DR:S, the intention for Kirumi to have been the Prime Minister's maid started at the very tail end of her time in high school. Same character, same backstory, different situation.

Meaning by that logic, Kirumi--as well as her other classmates--are over 18 years old in V3.

They are young adults.
