#i think kotoko is a bit too open with her opinions where this type of misunderstanding could never happen

[good-beanswrites]

Sorry to double up on your inbox, but I had this burning idea.

Suppose Fuuta's sister has had her hair styled like the Milgram girls at various points. What scenarios might come up when Fuuta mistakes the girls for his sister?

I know you were looking for ideas on all of the girls but I got really carried away with this one train of thought with Kotoko, so have some of that instead 😭 I'm such a sucker for 02-04-06 seeming the type to use beauty products and know their way around a lot of hair care, and triggering memories for Fuuta via scents/sounds of his sister's job. And as you've seen I'm so emotional over him seeing Amane as an equal as they both care for each other and she feels like family...

Fuuta was used to people disappointing him.

He’d been let down by his mother, then his father. He’d seen how all of society screws its people over. His own friends had turned their backs on him when things got rocky. Even here, he couldn’t count on any of these people to look out for him. Well, all except one. 

Kotoko. 

He’d actually done a double take when he first saw her. Her hair was styled much like his sister’s; from behind, it could have been her with a bit of dye. 

It wouldn’t have been so bizarre for her to color her head shining black. After all, that had always been his sister’s method of rebellion. His father was a traditional man, and hated to see her chop all her hair off, chop others’ hair off, add more piercings, or change it to any and every shade that wasn’t the family’s natural red. Fuuta had always thought they were all hollow exercises, more for attention than anything else. (It was nothing like the actual action he was taking to break away from his father’s strictness). Seeing Kotoko wear an eerily similar look, and hearing how closely her views aligned with his, he started to understand the appeal.

While the others were intimidated by her appearance, Fuuta found it familiar. Unlike the rest of the prison, he had no hesitation in approaching her. He was more willing to sit beside her at meals. He joined in her conversations in the common area. 

Mahiru kept going on about being everyone’s ‘big sis,’ but she never took a damned thing seriously. Yuno told Fuuta he reminded her of her little brother, but the last thing he needed was to be treated like some baby. Kotoko, on the other hand, knew exactly how to speak with him. 

She came to show him her solidarity before his interrogation. She gave him tips on working out, and joined in his conversations about the injustice of current prison systems. She even had his back when he was scolding Mikoto about taking fighting styles seriously. He jeered at the notion that Kotoko could overpower Kazui. Though, deep down, he’d seen how strong the woman was. For someone the same age as him, and busy with university like him, she had insanely impressive power.

He’d never dare admit it, but he looked on in awe whenever she worked out in the common areas. 

Fuuta found even more comfort in her strength as the trial came to a close. The two ended up with opposite verdicts, but that wasn’t anything new. Teachers, neighbors, relatives – everyone had reasons to praise his sister while dragging up grievances against him. Both women had a sort of brash charisma that people enjoyed. He usually only got the label of “brash.” Kotoko was saved his rant that it all came from their differences in gender and beauty. Fuuta was confident she’d come to the same conclusion already. 

After all, what else separated them? They were here for practically the same reason.

He didn’t let it get under his skin. While the prisoners shied away from him and the others named unforgiven, he could always count on Kotoko to speak with him as honestly and directly as usual. 

The warden and the prisoners weren’t the only ones to let him down: the voices in his head had gone from a fair debate to a loud, nasty mob with each passing day.

They seemed to be at their very worst, now. He was going on a few nights of little to no sleep thanks to their nonstop judgment. Fuuta tossed and turned in his sheets, cursing the new uniform that made it impossible to relax. It had been exhausting, consumed by fear and guilt and anger. Everything had him jumpy these days.

He flinched as his cell door creaked. 

His bleary eyes turned to the silhouette in the doorway. A name instinctively came to his lips. Thankfully, he corrected himself before making the embarrassing mistake. 

“It’s you, Kotoko.” It was strange for her to be here at this hour. And completely unannounced, at that. 

“Kajiyama Fuuta…”

He didn’t care. He smiled. After all, surrounded by so many betrayals, he always felt safer with her around.

Did you already did Ko for the ask meme thing? I can't find it anywhere...

Nope! No one has asked me to do the Character Meme for good ol' Nagito. The best, worst boi.

favorite thing about them

Okay this may be a bit harsh, but I honestly fell in love with them from loving to dunk on him. Originally, I played this game on a stream with friends and I could not stand Komaeda in the slightest. But he was undoubtedly interesting and intriguing. So I began to learn more about him and then I got addicted to his POV and how he really saw the world.

If I had to pick a favorite thing about him, it would be learning about what he was dealing with and his true feelings, how he deflects those feelings and tries to bury his needs in this warped idealistic version of Hope.

A second thing I love about him? He's a very intimate type of character. The way he speaks about things are quite romantic. His character songs are like beautiful declarations of love and need, of his inner desires. And honestly, it's all just very bold and striking. I love that he's a character who wants to be close to others, but holds himself back due to his talent and his past. There's so much going on there.

least favorite thing about them

I...really hate that the fandom ignores the things he does that are really wrong. Like yeah, TeruTeru is trash, but Nagito utterly manipulated a guy who was already barely keeping it together and put murder into his mind.

Nagito is, at the same time, a very selfish and selfless character. Those two things aren't mutually exclusive. But I feel like the fandom ignores a lot of his issues and his actual self-serving attitude.

favorite line

"Please kill me anytime." (Oh the morbid laugh I got out of that!)

brOTP

I get the feeling that he and Ibuki really secretly vibe. And they vibe hard. I feel like he has the patience to really keep up with her energy and to indulge in anything she wants to do and that would be so important to Ibuki. Especially since someone like him would be very open about enjoying it too.

KOMAHINANAMI (I hope people know what my blog is about by now lol)

I'm also a huge SouMaeda fan.

nOTP

Hm... well I've seen people ship him with Monaca and Kotoko... I don't talk about that. I don't want to think about that shit.

random headcanon

I'm still wondering if he's genuinely homeless. Like what was that about in the anime? O.O If he's homeless... does he just come and go as he pleases and like living outside? I gotta think more on this.

unpopular opinion

I really do see him as bi/pan and/or demisexual depending on certain things. Ultimately, I think what his initial attraction is is his love of Hope that he senses and then fixates on someone for, so gender is never really even the first thing he ever considers. But that's just my personal thoughts. I think gay Komaeda headcanons, trans headcanons, and of course, bi/pan and whathaveyou headcanons are all valid as fuck.

song i associate with them

Rapture by Ok Goodnight

Honestly whenever I think of music for him, I just think of his lovely character songs. Megumi Ogata is perfection personified.

favorite picture of them

Something about the shots where he wakes up to Hinata is like...the height of a romantic feeling to me.
