#if kaito got a talentswap so does everyone

[vespertin-y]

doing another v3 talentswap, but instead of a randomizer this time i swapped them with whoever they’re directly across in the trial circle!

shuichi - rantaro

survivor shuichi is making me INSANE. yes obviously it’s very angsty but i can’t stop thinking about the absolute chaos that would come from having fully-snapped ch6 shuichi from the beginning. the snark...

detective rantaro makes me sad because i can SEE exactly what that would be like. he’s not a real detective, only an apprentice - a real detective would be able to solve a simple missing person’s case, right?

kaito - gonta

entomologist kaito changes almost nothing about him but GOD you know that bug coat would be sick as hell.

astronaut gonta has several different directions it could go in,,,either someone accidentally left him on a space station and he was raised by aliens, or he’s a genius being pushed by his wealthy family to conquer the final frontier. either way his is full of So Many space facts and has no idea why people are terrified when he shares them!! insect meet n greet but he just sits everyone down and forcibly explains how space can boil and freeze your blood at the same time...

kirumi - kaede

pianist kirumi would be interesting bc i think without her maid duties she wouldn’t interact with her classmates much - she’s a very withdrawn person. which is concerning because she’s such a workaholic...pls let one of her classmates notice she’s been at that piano for twelve hours.

maid kaede would be very cute!! she keeps her motivation of wanting to see people smile, she just does it in a more direct way. i do worry that the implied bullying she faced in canon would be much worse if she had a service-based talent, though.....

ryoma - himiko

magician ryoma, hmm...we’ll go for a slightly less tragic backstory than canon and say he stopped performing after his cat assistant was killed.

tennis pro himiko just makes me laugh. she falls asleep on the court and still wins somehow.

maki - kokichi

leader maki didn’t want to be a leader - she smelled trouble at her orphanage and decided to get as many kids as possible out, including her right-hand woman who she is Most Definitely Not Gay For. she’s not in charge, definitely! she’s just the only one with any braincells around here, geez...

assassin kokichi...actually no fuck that. this would not happen. he would 100% find a way to kill himself rather than go along with the cult, that’s what makes maki and him foils - she would rather kill than die, he’d rather die than kill. for the sake of the talentswap, i’ll say that he’s ACTUALLY the shsl child caregiver, and give the assassin talent to pianist kirumi (she deserves some elegant murder i think). he owns a clown-themed daycare where he gives kids the love he never got and he is HAPPY >:(

angie - tenko

aikido pro angie is funny because that girl is a STICK. what is her 90-pound ass gonna do?? <- words of someone about to experience the wrath of god apparently

i’ve talked about artist tenko before and i still really like it!! emotional artist QUEEN we stan.

korekiyo - kiibo

robot korekiyo...i have nothing. separating The Humanity Guy from humanity is so fundamentally strange. bet he’s super weird tho, keeps asking people what it’s like to be made of blood.

anthropologist kiibo is my FAVORITE i’ve talked about it probably too much. he is very small and trying his best.

tsumugi - miu

inventor tsumugi is horrifying because my first thought was “one thousand monokubs” and that was so frightening now i can’t come up with any other concepts.

we all know what cosplayer miu would be like. i don’t need to explain that to you. it DOES make her love of kids shows funnier tho. infamous Horny Weeb secretly loves adorable children’s cartoons, more at 6.

circle under the cut!

[kaitosimp]

It's been a hot minute since I've posted Kaito art 👁👄👁 Once upon a time I posted a drawing of my talentswap bois with a new one I never got around to making, bUT I got in the zone a while ago to properly give him a drawing so here he is!! Kaito as the Ultimate Gamer 🕹✨💜

As always I have to say that I'm not that good at drawing but for once idc cause I had so much fun with this!! I love videogames and I adore Kaito so you can imagine how happy I was while drawing 🤚🏽💕 I think there's a total of 23 game/general gaming related references so truly, all the kudos and love to you if you can identify them all!! 🌚💜

He listens to Game Over by Falling In Reverse religiously and his one game weakness is horror games and I love him very much <3 True to my Kaito loving self I thought of some hc's for him which are below (finally figured out how to do the keep reading thing asdfghkl) but yeah hope you guys like him as much as I do!! :] 💞💞💞

-He will play any and all games

-Even horror games but he kinda sucks at them cause he gets scared all the time and dies

-Lowkey competitive and a perfectionist, he needs to get ALL the trophies and achievements but he enjoys the game and plot first

-Shuichi and Maki literally have to force him to sleep cause otherwise he stays up all night playing games

-If he had to pick a fave genre it'd be action games, fighting games or racing games

-His phone ringtone is the Super Mario Bros theme song

-Kirumi, aka mom™, always scolds him for slouching and corrects his posture

-Constantly browses the interwebs for new or rare games/consoles/merch/etc he doesn't have yet (someone help this man and his bank account)

-He has rows upon rows of games and don't even get me started on all the consoles he owns

-Besides playing videogames, he likes watching gaming documentaries and movies (especially the movies)

-His fave one is probs Wreck It Ralph and he cries a lot during the "I'm bad and that's good, I will never be good and that's not bad, there's no one I rather be but me" volcano scene

-His lab is literally designed after an arcade

-If he plays games with his friends he will literally only let Himiko, Gonta, or Chihiro win, the rest will get obliterated into next week (not even his sidekicks get the special treatment)

-He will fight you if you think yourself a superior/true gamer just cause you play action packed games and hate on people who play "cutesy" or chill games

-He ALWAYS has a handheld console and does not go anywhere without one

-He got scouted by Hope's Peak when he won a fuckton of gaming competitions

-He always commissions Rantaro for artwork of his game characters

-Likewise he always commissions Sayaka for character costumes he wants to wear for cons (everyone is talentswapped so Rantaro is the ultimate artist and Sayaka the ultimate cosplayer huehue)

-His hoodies are sacred and so far he's only let Shuichi wear them

-He started a gaming club in the school and they meet up every Friday to chill, play games, and have friendly tournaments

-"Press f to pay respects" is his mantra

-He happens to like outer space a lot since he would always stargaze with his grandparents

-Hence why he automatically loves any game setting in space (cue Rainbow Road being his fave course in Mario Kart)

-He can probably tell you the history of gaming from the creation of Spacewar and Tennis For Two to the modern day in one sitting but he literally goes like 👁👄👁❓ for a sec tryna remember what he had for dinner last week

-One of his future goals is to create his own videogame

-Loves interacting with people online/through multiplayer, he has an endless amount of virtual friends

[sir-sunny]

(Lavender)

I GOT… more of the Astronaut!Sonia and co talentswap things

-Sonia’s fashion sense literally 100% better than Kaito’s obvs. Very cute. Like her dress style but Bluer with Stars.

-Also Sonia gets little buns. One might say… Space buns.

-Gundham gets some little bandaids on his arms instead of full wraps… Mostly Hello Kitty. Some child was like. “D: You’re hurt! Kitty will make it better. :)” and Gundham was like. “I see. Thank the heavens such a grand and illustrious healer was available in my time of need.“

-I THINK Hajime gets pins on his backpack. Kaede too but this is a talentswap. Pride pins.

-Sonia is less likely to actively punch you than Kaito, but much more capable of killing you if she so desired. Lucky for everyone, she doesn’t.

-Rival Peko is less Actively Trying To Be Irritating, but that does kinda make her switches between “We’re All Friends :)” to “I feel nothing for any of you and don’t care what happens to you” feel… different. Like… think the Sparkling Justice to Normal Peko switch but like. Constantly.

-Idk if it’s harder or easier to see Gundham as the Ult Child Caregiver than Maki. On one hand, I think he does like kids and is good with them. On the other, he’s very scary and uses long words around 5 year olds just as much as he does other teens.

-Also do imagine the Rantaro and Kaede Painting Nails scene but with Hajime and Nagito. They’re gay your honor.

AAA CUTE CUTE CUTE!!!! SONIA WITH A SPACE THEMED DESIGN YES!!!! cute, puffy dark blue dress with constellations all over it,, star earrings,, planet hair clips,, and omg youre a GENIUS,, sonia with space buns????? i LOVE it

yes im envisioning gundham's design rn. he wears mostly black. black button up, black jacket. black pants, boots. but with like splashes of pastel. pastel scarf. pastel band aids. maybe even a couple pastel stickers -given to him by the kiddos- littered on his outfit,,, and yes he would be so good with kids. i love the idea of his dramatic, theatrical self interacting with themmm

mhmmhmmh im listening intently to rival pekooo,,, that works rly well for her goodg ood

*eats nagito painting hajime's nails scene* and mmmmmmm and hajime' realizing that, not only, did he kill nagito (or so he thinks), but the killing game is still going so he died for nothing mmmmmmmmmm

[mythgirlimagines]

Ah! It’s so nice to be back with a new talentswap for this Tuesday! Don’t get too excited and run in the halls, for Myth Anon, the Former Ultimate Moral Compass is on the rise!

—————————-—————————

BACKSTORY AND TALENT

Unlike Taka, who got his talent from his time as head of his school’s disciplinary force and as a hall monitor, MoralCompass!Myth got her talent from being a part of the student council, as well being the class rep and part of several extracurricular activities (such as the cheerleading, baking and literature club). On top of maintaining her high GPA, she has a natural charisma to her, due to her compassionate and ambitious attitude! This makes it easier for her to get the positions that she got, thanks to the great PR she gained from said attitude. She strives to find any way she can to improve her school, from kickstarting several fundraisers, to giving some funds to under-appreciated classes and clubs, such as performing and visual arts. She continues to carry her ambitious, go-getter attitude into her adult years, and especially as a chaperone to the Ultimates and Jr. Ultimates!

——————————————————

RELATIONSHIPS

Wyre Anon, Former Ultimate Baseball Player

These two energetic and ambitious Anons have been best friends, ever since Myth was asked to tutor Wyre, when they were children. Their bond is still going strong well into their high school and college years, with the two Anons cheering each other on in their respective extracurricular activities! 

Anon Scar, Ultimate Fashionista

While Myth prides herself on looking presentable, even she can’t understand Scar’s fashion choices. With large black wings, black and purple Lolita dresses and elaborate make-up, Myth can’t help but wonder who allowed Scar’s clothes to become trendy. Myth can’t help but admire Scar’s audacity in her fashion choices. But at least Scar herself is a decent girl underneath her “Fallen Angel of Beauty” persona.

Fusion Anon, Ultimate Novelist

Myth is a massive fan of Fusion’s best-selling novels, particularly “Room 11037”, the story of a group of children in a pediatric hospital ward, eventually getting adopted by the kindly hospital workers. Imagine Myth’s surprise when her hero in literature turns out to be younger, yet taller than her. They regularly have talks about books over some hot cocoa and biscuits (that Fusion usually scarfs down before Myth can even sit down).

Fusion Anon II, Ultimate Programmer

Between Fusion II’s flippant attitude and Myth’s overbearing and hyper attitude, it seems like Fusion II and Myth wouldn’t be able to get along. That was until they found out that they both liked the same novels and were both massive fans of Fusion’s novels in particular. Fusion II regularly lets Myth take a peek at her programs as a method of quality control.

Just Anon, Ultimate Biker Gang Leader

Considering Janon’s talent, it only makes sense that Myth would be wary when around Janon. However, no matter how many times Janon pushes Myth away, Myth is still determined to befriend Janon and turn him into a respectful member of society. But if Fusion II’s testimony proves right, Janon has a bit of a weakness for his two juniors and loves to be called “Janon-senpai”!

Sparkle Anon, Former Ultimate Clairvoyant

Sparkle, or as she likes to call herself, “THE SPECTACULAR SPECTATOR SPARKLE”, is a bit of a mixed bag in Myth’s eyes. On one hand, Myth admires Sparkle’s charisma and boldness, reminding Myth of herself. On the other hand, Myth finds Sparkle’s talent to be completely bogus, even if Sparkle’s clairvoyance has a 33% accuracy rate. 

Egg Anon, Former Ultimate Martial Artist, and Wet Sock Anon, Former Ultimate Gambler From their frequent cursed comments to their ethnically dubious talents, (considering that they run an underground fight club/gambling ring) even Myth is having a hard time finding anything good about this fearsome and dangerous duo. But she will never give up trying to find at least some good in them!

Curious Anon, Jr. Ultimate Soldier

Ignoring the gruesome implications of Curious being a soldier at the age of 12, Myth found Curious to be a well-behaved and obedient young child. But Myth is heavily concerned at how Curious would describe their various endeavors in the army in excruciating detail and all with a straight face.

Anon Nerd, Former Ultimate Swimmer

Even if Nerd is rude, hostile and foul-mouthed, Myth is dead-set on finding some good in the soul of this surly swimmer. Oddly enough, Nerd seems to get all red when Myth is around. He’ll never admit it, but Nerd finds this short, but spirited nerd adorable as hell!

Eldritch Anon, Ultimate Detective

When Myth first met the tiny and paranoid detective, Myth has made it her goal to help this diminutive detective trust people again. It’s a slow and laborious task with Eldritch constantly calling them “sheep” and running away, but Myth is fiery and determined and won’t give up on anybody. Because giving up is not what a moral compass does!

 Dream Anon, Ultimate Fanfiction Author

Myth and Dream managed to get along like a house on fire, bonding over their fiery and determined attitudes and their love for literature, particularly romance and mystery literature. Dream regularly uses Myth as a beta reader for her latest fan fiction, helping with grammar and punctuation. You can totally bet that Myth was all too happy to help!

Iris Anon, Jr. Ultimate Lucky Student

Much like with Dream, Myth and Iris very quickly bonded due to their similar positive and energetic attitudes! Iris regularly looks up to Myth and wishes upon her lucky stars to be as charismatic and reliable as she is. Myth also regularly patches up Iris, whenever she has one of her usual clumsy spills.

Purple Anon, Ultimate Affluent Progeny

Because of Purple’s timid attitude, Myth isn’t really given many opportunities to socialize with her. Luckily, Myth is intelligent enough to understand Purple’s old-fashioned and verbose speech patterns, meaning that she is able to hold a coherent conversation with Purple. Myth also regularly gives pep talks to Purple, knowing how it feels to be in a leadership position.

Hopefully, Myth would be able to use her class rep and club leader charm to keep the morale of the Kibo-Con up!

———————————-———————

APPEARANCE

Myth prides herself on looking presentable and following the dress code. She wears a purple blazer over a pink sweater vest, a matching pink bolo tie and a white button up shirt. Tied to her right arm, is a pink and purple armband with “HEAD GIRL” written on the front. She also wears a blue skirt, black leggings and white and blue Mary Janes. She wears glasses and keeps her hair in a ponytail with a pink bow.

——————————————————

PERSONALITY

MoralCompass!Myth is firey and determined compared to the more laid-back Romantic!Myth. Because she places heavy emphasis on her studies and club duties, MoralCompass!Myth‘s romantic skill is lacking, to say the least. But she is trying her best, scouring the best sources she can find on romantic attraction; romance novels! This tends to have mixed results. But she is so earnest and energetic at her romantic attempts, that it‘s adorable! No one can deny that she is a helpful, energetic, charismatic and almost stupidly optimistic soul, always seeing the good in everyone, even if they are delinquents. So I’d say that MoralCompass!Myth’s personality is like a mix between Kaito and Taka! —————————-—————————

What do you think of this earnest and optimistic Former Ultimate Moral Compass, Myth? Could you picture yourself as an Ultimate Moral Compass? Do you think Moral Compass Myth would make a great series of stories? I can picture it; a slightly klutzy and massively nerdy Moral Compass earnestly trying to see the good in even the most cursed or jerkish of individuals! See you next Tuesday with a brand new Talentswap, Myth!

-Fusion Anon

I really, really like this version of me! I would love to see her in stories, haha! Also, I haven’t mentioned it on here yet, but something you could use in a future talentswap is that I had my hair cut to shoulder-length a few days ago!

[jitterbugperson]

Talentswap Au Pologue: Part 3

This isn’t getting much attention, but I’m still working on it! I really hope more people see this soon, I’m working hard on it and it’s a real passion of mine. Also sorry for any spelling/grammar mistakes, I didn’t read this over before posting this, I wanted to get it out quickly.

Kaede looks at the list in her hands, and goes through it quickly, not dwelling too long on anyone in particular. Each person got pointed to as she went through the list, allowing Kaito a few seconds to try and memorize and match names to appearances.

Kirumi Tojo, Ultimate Martial Artist- Light green long hair tied up with a ribbon, wearing a  short button up and tie with a few colored bandaids on her arms.

Himiko Yumeno, Ultimate Pop Sensation- Short bob of red hair, wearing a frilly light red and pink dress with several bracelets on her arms and pins in her hair. The one currently putting the colored band-aids on Kirumi’s arms.

Angie Yonaga, Ultimate Clairvoyant - White hair cut straight and short, wearing a  purple cloak, several piercings, scattered tattoos on her exposed skin of her arms, legs, and stomach. Currently talking to Rantaro.

Rantaro Amami, Ultimate Gambler- Short green hair, wearing a vest and bowtie, sleeve of tattoos. Currently listening to Angie ramble.

Gonta Gokuhara, Ultimate Moral Compass- Long green hair in a loose ponytail, very muscular, wearing a school uniform. Trying to get Ryoma to stop smoking

Ryoma Hoshi, Ultimate Biker Gang Leader- Very short, wearing a beanie and leather jacket, carries a pack of cigarettes. Currently smoking and being worried over by Gonta.

Tsumugi Shirogane, Ultimate Swimming Pro- Long blue hair in a high ponytail, wearing a baggy jacket and athletic shorts. Currently talking to Tenko.

Tenko Chabashira, Ultimate Softball Player- Dark green hair in a braid, wearing a star covered ballcap and a jean jacket with pins on it over a t-shirt and pants with holes in them. Currently talking to Tsumugi.

Kiibo Iidabashi, Ultimate Programmer- White hair, wearing a green and grey hoodie and headphones. Currently standing away from the others with his headphones on.

Korekiyo Shinguji, Ultimate Writing Prodigy- Long straight blue hair, round glasses, a small black mask over his mouth, wearing a sweater and jeans. Currently standing next to Kiibo, also away from the main group.

After going through the names, Kaede looks at him with a small smile.

“Got it alright?” She asks, still holding the list. Despite not fully memorizing the people, names, and talents in such a small window of time, he nods. 

“Yup.” He’s lying, but she doesn’t seem to catch on, simply folding the paper and putting it back into her pocket.

Kaito lets his eyes wander, gazing over the grouped up people. For the situation they were all in, they seemed surprisingly put together. At least no one was freaking out, so that’s a good sign. They were all ultimates though, so that is to be expected.

He cleared his throat, turning to Kaede.

“So, what now? None of us know how we got here, the windows are closed off, I’m assuming there’s no exit. And there’s no teachers, from what I’ve seen.” He questioned, almost into thin air as Kaede had no answers for him.

Thankfully, there was someone who could answer his question for him. As soon as he asked the question, an annoyingly high pitched voice called out.

“Ahem! Ahem! Mic check, one two! This is a test of the school broadcast system!

It rang out throughout the room, followed by a loud chime.

Ding dong, bing bong

Everyone turned their heads to the noise, and saw a monitor at the front of the room spark to life. Through static, a small, bear shaped silhouette could be seen.

“Am I on? Can everyone hear me? Okay, well then, to all incoming students, I would like to begin the entrance ceremony! We’ll be starting at about… right now! Please make your way to the gym at your earliest convenience. That’s all! I’ll be waiting~”

After the sing-songy voice cut off, everyone stood silent for a few moments.

What the hell?

“What the hell?!” Someone shouted out, speaking what everyone was thinking. Kaito turned to the voice, seeing Miu still staring at the monitor, her face one of confused shock. At her comment, everyone else looked around nervously, unsure what to do,

“Hey now, let’s just stay calm. This is probably just to get us excited for the entrance ceremony, that’s all.” The green haired guy in the vest and bowtie stepped forward, a calm smile on his face. Rantaro, Kaito reminded himself.

“A-Are you sure? This all seems too strange to be normal for a school, but I don’t know.” The kid with the headphones replied nervously, his headphones now dangling at the sides of his neck.

“I’m sure we’ll be okay Kiibo, I mean, we’re all okay now, right?” Himiko smiles at the taller student, who looked away, avoiding eye contact, and instead stared at the ground. 

“Yeah, alright.” Kiibo nods, and Himiko grabs his hand in a comforting gesture. 

As soon as she does that, there’s a scoff from the front of the entrance hall. Facing the noise, Kaito notices it’s the purple haired kid from earlier, looking at the scene with a small sneer.

Without saying a word, he turns around and walks out of the room, heading down the hall and towards the gymnasium, leaving everyone else behind.

Tenko and Tsumugi exchanged looks.

“What’s his deal?” The girl haired girl commented, snarky and obviously not a fan of his attitude.

“I’m not sure, but he does seem to have the right idea. If the entrance ceremony is starting, wouldn’t it be a good idea to head to the gym?” Tsumugi adds, talking to no one in particular. The others look around, before unanimously deciding that heading to the gym would be the best idea at the moment.

The group of 15 split into smaller groups as they walked down the halls, similar to the groups in the entrance hall. Maki and Shuichi, Tsumugi and Korekiyo, Gonta and Kirumi, Angie, Ryoma, and Rantaro, Tenko, Himiko, and Kiibo, and Kaito, Miu, and Kaede. Together they headed to the gym, the purple haired kid already there waiting for them. 

Next to Kaito, he heard Kaede speak up to both him and Miu.

“Don’t you think it’s odd we didn’t see any other students on our way here?”

Now that he thought about it, yeah that did seem pretty weird. Judging by the look on Miu’s face, she thought so too.

“Hey, you’re right. Where the hell is everyone?” Miu shouts out, a little louder than necessary.

The response she got was similar to Kaito’s in the Entrance Hall, replied to by the same high pitched voice.

“Hey there, howdy, hello! Is everyone here?”

Without waiting for anyone to answer, they continued.

“Good! Then, let’s get things rolling!”

As soon as those words were spoken, a small, animatronic teddy bear popped out from behind the podium on the stage, its body split into a half of black and a half of white. No one dared to move or speak for a few seconds, trying to take it in.

“Is that… a stuffed bear?” Korekiyo asked out loud, voice quiet and full of disbelief.

“I am not a stuffed bear!” The bear cried out, angry at that notion.

“I am Monokuma! This school’s headmaster.”

Just when I thought this day couldn’t get any weirder.

The bear stepped down from the podium and walked closer to the students, and the knot of anxiety that’d slowly been accumulating in Kaito’s stomach turned to outright dread as he realized how absolutely screwed they were. This was definitely not a normal school, much too weird for Hope’s Peak, and certainly not a school that made the tiniest bit of sense.

“Nice to meet you all!” 

After Monokuma finished his introduction, everyone stood still and quiet, just staring at the bear.

“Um, is anyone else seeing and hearing the same thing? I’m not hallucinating this?” Tsumugi asked, looking at the other for confirmation.

“I am not a stuffed bear!! How many times do I have to tell you!” He yelled out angrily, jumping out at her and causing her to flinch back.

“Eeeeek! Get away from me!!” She yelled, putting her hands in front of her face. Quickly, Tenko, who’d been standing next to Tsumugi, jumped in front of her, hands out wide.

“Back up little dude.” The green-haired girl hissed out, glaring at the bear.

“Stop it, both of you!! It’s not like it can do anything to you, even if it can… walk and talk, for some reason.” Kaede tried to reason, not wanting people to get worked up for no reason.

“No no, little miss jumpy over here has the right idea. I could kill you if I wanted!” The bear chuckled, causing a few people to exchange looks.

“Well, anyway, do you happen to know why we’re here, mister...Monokuma?” Gonta speaks up, ignoring the potential death threat in favor of getting some answers.

“Ah, yes! Of course, that is why I brought you all here!” Monokuma exclaims, and a few students relaxed a bit at the notion that their questions would soon be addressed.

Kaito wasn’t one of those. He wasn’t sure why, but he just felt…off. Something wasn't right here, but he couldn’t quite put his finger on it.

Monokuma cleared his throat(?).

“Now, continuing with the entrance ceremony! First, we should address what your school life will be like here! Yes, this should be the first thing to talk about since you’ll be living the rest of your lives out here.”

He said it so calmly, yet Kaito felt his heart stop. Looking around at everyone else, they seem to have heard it too, all wearing similar expressions

“Yes yes, you students are the hope of this world! You will all spend the rest of your life designated only to the grounds of this school, protected from the outside world!”

“H-Huh? That’s not… you’re not serious are you?” Kaito spoke, now hoping that this was all an extremely elaborate prank like he’d thought in the beginning.

“I am one hundred percent serious, my little luckster! But do not worry, we have quite the budget, so your life here will be quite comfortable! You will be more than accommodated for here at the academy.”

“Wait, so we’re stuck here? With no way out?!” Tenko shouts, her eyes wide with fear.

“Yup! You’re all completely cut off from the outside world! You can call for help all you want, but you’re stuck within these walls for the rest of your life!”

The room was silent, everyone quietly panicking at the news that they’re stuck in here forever. What about their f”milies? Their friends on the outside? Their lives on the outside?

“Aww, why do you all look so glum! You all came here of your own free will, didn’t you?”

Well, he isn’t entirely wrong.

“I guess you’ll all be happy to hear, there is something I forgot to mention. There is one way out, and only one.”

Everyone perked their heads up at that, some skeptic, others willing to listen.

“I’ve created a special rule, allowing those who wish to leave the ability to do so! With some conditions of course.”

“Spit it out already, we’re tired of waiting.” Ryoma grumbled, looking heavily annoyed at all this stalling and back and forths.

“Hold your horses, I’m getting to that!” The bear shouted, angry.

“Now then, what I was trying to say is that this school has what is called a Graduation Clause. The lifestyle you all will have here is one of order, but should someone interrupt said order, they and they alone would be allowed to leave.”

Kaito quirked an eyebrow.

“Interrupt the order? What does that mean?”

“Ah, curious one, aren’t you. What I mean by that is, in order to leave, someone needs to commit a crime most unspeakable, one that would truly disrupt the natural order. Murder, to be more specific.”

At that, everyone’s face paled a good few shades.

“Asphyxiation, blood loss, snapping of the neck, cutting off all blood flow to the brain, get creative! It doesn’t matter the process, all that matters is someone’s heart stops beating! That is the only way to escape this school.”

Katio could feel his breath picking up, panic becoming the leading emotion in his head. Kill someone to leave? That’s insane!! He was losing his grip, heart beating out of his chest and his hands gripping the sleeves of the others absurdly tight. A hand dropped to his soldier, surprisingly calm. He looked up and saw the Ultimate Affluent Progeny, lips in a taut line as she stared at the black and white bear.

“What makes you think we’ll just go along with this? Do you forget we’re children? The chances of us getting the nerve to kill someone is absolutely absurd, and this is considering you’re telling the truth. Chances are, this is some trick, a prank of some sort. Why someone would go through this much trouble to prank us, I don’t know, but there is no way you would be allowed to do this, considering some of our home lives.” Kaede spoke with such confidence and authority, the kind Kaito likes to pretend to have but could never amount to. A kind of confidence bread by experience, one she could only get in the kind of life she lives.

The bear quirked his little head.

“You all keep acting like this isn’t real. What is it gonna take to convince you that you’re stuck here forever? Because this isn’t a joke you know.”

As soon as Monokuma finished his sentence, there was a short rustling sound, a blur of motion, and suddenly, Monokuma was being held in the air. Holding him up in a death grip was the short purple haired kid, an ice glare on his face.

“I don’t know what your game is, or what psycho decided it would be a fun idea to mess with us. Whatever your reason, I’m not a fan, so I’m giving you about ten seconds to cut this shit out before I destroy your little toy.”

“A-Ah! This is certainly unexpected!”

“10.”

“Hold on now! You have no idea what I’m capable of little boy-” The grip on the bear’s face tightened.

“9.”

“You don’t want to do this, trust me.”

“8.”

“Alright, if this is what you want!”

“8.” An autonomous voice joined in with the smaller boy’s counting.

“7.”

“7.” 

“Hey, m-maybe you should put it down.” Himiko stepped forward towards the boy and the robot.

“Stay out of this!” The boy snapped, causing Himiko to yank her hand back.

“6.”

“6.”

“She has a point, I feel like you should let go of the-” Kirumi tried to reason, but was interrupted.

“5.”

“5.”

There were some metal clanging noises.

“What the hell is that?” Kaito shouted out.

“4.”

“4.”

“Seriously man, put the damn thing down!” Ryoma shouted, but he was ignored as well.”

“3.”

“3.”

“2.”

“2.”

The metal clanging got louder, and Kaito moved before he could think, his panic fueled adrenaline making him do something he normally wouldn’t.

“1.” 

As soon as he spoke the last number, Kaito pushed the bear out of his hands, stopping him from destroying it. The boy turned to the much taller one, the icy glare now directed to him.

“What the he-!” He was cut off as metal spikes sprung out of the belly of Monokuma, shooting straight up and out to the spot the kid previously stood, and still would have if he had still been holding the bear. The spikes pierced through the air, ripping through the fabric on the short kid’s shirt sleeve and the side of Kaito’s sweater, cutting through the skin with the tips of the metal. Both let out a surprised cry of pain, and Monokuma dropped on the floor with a small CLANG.

Kaito gripped his side with his opposite hand, a pained grimace on his face as he stared at the bear. He heard a few startled cries from behind him, and soon felt a pair of hands on his shoulders. Turning around, his face met a worried Miu’s, with Kaede soon behind him.

“Holy shit, you alright dude?” 

Breathing heavily, Kaito nodded.

“Yeah...yeah I’m okay.”

No one had time to move much before the metal spikes returned to the belly of the robot, sinking back in and being covered up as though they weren’t even there in the first place. Monokuma sprung up with a hearty chuckle.

“Looks like you got saved before I could skewer you! Well, at least now you know that I am serious about this! If that nosy kid hadn’t saved your ass, you’d be good as a shish-kebab!”

He laughed again.

“Now, it’s important to know that violence against the headmaster is strictly against the rules! I’ll let you off with a warning this time, but anyone else who disobeys the rules won’t be let off that easily.”

Everyone was silent, the gravity of the situation finally dawning on those who’d been skeptical before.

“I’m not unfair though! I’ll be giving you all fully digital e-Handbooks so that you know the rules of the school and what not to do! Remember, there are surveillance cameras all over the school, so don’t even think about getting away with anything naughty.”

Dread settled over the entire gym, everyone staring down at the handbooks being held to them as Monokuma went down the line. Once all were handed out, Monokuma straightened out.

“Well then, that’s the end of the entrance ceremony! I hope you all have a wonderfully depressing school life here at the school, and I look forward to what kind of murders you decide to come up with!”

He gave us a small wave, his unnerving half-smile still plastering on his face.

“See ya!”

And like that, he was gone, leaving us all to our own devices.

“Well, shit.”

Can I get a headcanon talent swap au with a shuichi ultimate astronaut, a ultimate detective kaito, a ultimate lucky student izuru, a ultimate gamer hajime, and a makoto that went through the izuru kamukura project instead. Also with a fem s/o. Hope this ain't two challenging. But I know you can do it! Please and thank you

Alright! Although I am not best at talentswaps I will try my best ^^

Talent swap headcanons! With Fem s/o!

Shuichi Saihara (ultimate astronaut)

He possessed huge knowledge about space itself and often finds himself in sytuation where it's his main topic of conversation. You allways found it cute how he moved away from the topic thinking it bugged you.

Shuichi often trains and prepares himself for various of sytuations that may happen in space wich makes him seem a bit paranoid and it kinda worries you...

He is excited but also very anxious about going to space. But you being supportive girlfriend you are you make him feel so much better.

He was shocked when anyone was interested in his talent (and of course that you were the one among this group before you two got together) and felt a bit awkward when anyone asked how he became astronaut...

Kaito Momota (Ultimate detective)

He never lets himself overlook things and of course has his sidekick but Kaito does most of the job alone. You find it amazing how someone who is allways so cheerful can go so serious really fast.

Instead of luminary of the stars he calls himself the true justice. You can't help but giggle each time he calls himself like this

He never backs down on any case even if they whould be dangerous (Wich gets you to freak out) more than that he doesn't let anyone accept dangerous cases. A hero whould never let someone's life be in danger.

Even tho in his group of friends he is considered idiot becouse of his whierd optymism. Kaito is very educated. And you love your smart idiot.

He finds clues really fast but he has bigger problems with matching one thing to another. You sometimes help him if you find any connections. But he allways finds culprit and is very grateful for any help you can provide.

Izuru Kamakura (Ultimate lucky student)

He found his talent extremely boring and he found himself trying to figure out what he is actually good at. Even though his luck was at the times magical even he couldn't find anything where he could be called an ultimate... But he was good at many things.

You were helping him with finding his 'true ultimate' but after so many failed attempts he gave up but still you were amazed at how many things he was good at.

He was cold to the others but because he was so lucky everyone gave him second chance and he was able to make friends with rest of his class.

His luck was something he didn't understood at all. But he sure was to have you.

Hajime Hinata (Ultimate gamer)

He was good at all kinds of games mostly because of how fast he could analyze things.

He likes to talk about games he likes and likes to recommend some. He allways makes sure to show you best titles.

He loves to play with you and you do too but you mostly just watch him play.

Games is something he finds as an serious topic. So you don't joke about it at all.

His favorite games are the old ones... Even though they mostly didn't look as great as new ones he liked the way how simple yet awesome they are.

Makoto Naegi (Ultimate Hope-kamakura project)

You couldn't believe that he agreed on this. At first you didn't even recognize him. But it wasn't your Makoto you knew.

Still you loved him and didn't leave his side no matter what.

He seems to be much more cold but he is still warm and nice around you. And you sure hope it's not just an act (spoiler alert it isn't).

He was good at so many things but you allways asked yourself if it was worth it.

Could I request headcannons for SHSL Biker Gang Leader Maki and SHSL Nurse Kaito?

Thank you, anon, for sending us our first AU/talentswap ask! This one was such a joy to write! I had to think a lot to make a scenario where a biker gang leader and a nurse could meet and grow closer together, but the ideas really started to flow pretty soon. And in the end, it became the longest piece I've ever written on this blog... so long, in fact, that I converted it into a full fanfic! Did I do your idea justice? What do you think? Your fic is under the cut, so please enjoy!

~Mod Shuichi~

Maki Harukawa is the roughest, toughest, most ruthless gangster the world has ever seen, standing at the very peak of street hierarchy and feared not only by the other gangs (many of whom are double her age) but also the police themselves. She routinely prowls the streets with her gang, clad in her signature red and black leather jacket with a dagger strapped to her thigh and revving her bike's custom engine as loudly as she can as she tears through the streets like the queen of the road she is. And this would have been like any other day, had a rival gang led by Shirogane Tsumugi not decided to mount a sneak attack on her to 'reclaim the streets'. Two of her goons got a van and t-boned Maki's bike in an intersection in a very underhanded move.

They should have known better. Maki Harukawa does not go down that easily - and even if she can't fight them right now herself, her well-trained subordinates are lightyears better than Shirogane's bear-handed misfits. Still, she knows she'd be dead if it weren't for her natural agility and reflexes, and she also knows she's extremely lucky to have gotten off on just a broken arm and leg.

She's rushed to the hospital and Korekiyo, her second-in-command, drops by with some of her gang members to check up on her once the operation's over. Maki tells him not to mind her too much, and to go wage war on Shirogane and her band of idiots instead. He heeds the command with much gusto, but not before pre-paying her bills to the best service the hospital can afford. Never say crime doesn't pay, she muses.

(Other gang leaders would be worried about their second-in-commands usurping their rule while they're out of commission. Not Maki, though. She knows her subordinates like the front of her hand, and they will never betray her while she's still alive.)

Now that she is effectively relieved from duty, the only thing left to do is to rest and mend her bones. Easy, huh?

Apparently not, as the personal nurse assigned to her is the single most annoying human being she has ever seen. His spiky purple hair and goatee clash horribly against his scrubs, and every fifth word out of his mouth is a space pun. He also doesn't appear to be intimidated by her at all - doesn't he know who she is? Any hope that he would be somewhat tolerable is dashed to pieces like her bike when he immediately gives her a despicable nickname in the first minute they meet.

"Hi, I'm Kaito Momota!" he announces way too jovially to someone who just had two limbs wrapped in a cast. "I'll be your nurse for the next four months. Nice to meet you, Miss Maki Roll!"

"Maki Roll?!"

He then proceeds to spend the next three hours explaining how he made her that nickname (because her first name is Maki, you see, and his mom just so adores his maki rolls that it's become a reflex whenever he sees the word, oh did he mention that he makes some wicked maki rolls?) and Maki is ready to either strangle him or rip her own hair out of her scalp when Momota is finally called away by intercom. The reprieve is short-lived, however, as the purple idiot barges back in a mere ten minutes later, ready to torture her with more bad puns and incessant storytelling. At this point, Maki would rather strangle herself. One thing is clear: she cannot take this for four effing months. She'd go mad by the second week.

She takes advantage of one of his bathroom breaks to flag down a passing doctor, a lady with deep purple hair and lavender eyes (was purple hair a thing in medical personnel these days?), and begs her to get her a different nurse, a doctor she could talk to, anyone other than Kaito goddamned Momota.

The doctor, 'Mikan Tsumiki' according to her nameplate, apparently cannot understand Maki's adverse reaction. "B-but didn't your friend ask for the best we had?", she replies quizzically. And right then and there Maki learns from Doctor Tsumiki that Kaito Momota the imbecile in purple is in fact the Super High School Level Nurse what the hell?!

"Everyone's so energetic and cheerful after meeting him," Doctor Tsumiki continues, and Maki can barely contain her incredulousness. Momota chooses that moment to reappear, and Doctor Tsumiki excuses herself. Maki forces herself to think for the best - if he's the Ultimate Nurse, at least he'll be good at treating her enough for her to ignore his prattling.

And he is very good at his job, indeed. He can change her casts without her feeling a single thing. He's always ready on call in case she needs anything, and he's making a visible effort to ramble less after the first few days. He still doesn't seem to acknowledge at all that he's treating the number one gangster in town, though.

He knows who she is. He'd be an actual idiot if he didn't, considering her name still shows up on the news at least once a week (including the report on her 'accident').

Yet he is still as friendly and, dare she say it, charming as the first time he met her. (What? He is annoying, but there is a certain charm to him.) It's nice, but it's also scary. If what he's showing her is a facade, it's a better mask than any she has ever worn and she's terrified of it.

One day she just goes 'fuck it' and decides to ask him herself. Time in the hospital is supremely boring, so Maki can at least blame the situation for her curiosity getting the better of her. She puts on her best game face and calls him over.

"Hey, Momota."

"Yes, Maki Roll?"

"Do you know who I am?"

"Well, duh." He gestures to her patient card at the foot of the bed. "Why wouldn't I? Maki Harukawa, the SHSL Biker Gang Leader. I'm not that stupid, you know."

"Then why aren't you scared of me? Why do you keep trying to get closer? Do I look like a joke to you?"

There. She said it. Now all she needs is answers.

Kaito pulls up a chair and plonks himself down on it. His eyes have a serious look she's never seen before as he opens his mouth.

"I'd be lying if I wasn't a little bit scared. Your eyes have that look down pat. But I'm not gonna let that bother me. At all."

"Why?"

"I became a nurse because I wanted to help people, make them happier and healthier, and I won't stop just because some lady has an unconventional job. The queen of England could be sitting here right now and I'd treat her exactly the same way. To me, you're not Maki Harukawa the gangster. You're Maki Harukawa, the girl with a broken arm and leg."

Maki is thrown for a loop at his words. Nobody had ever considered her identity seperate from her title before. No one has ever treated her like everyone else before. The nerve, part of her mind screams. It's kindness, another part yells back. Maki thinks the latter is more likely.

And as she's thinking, the idiot just has to add, "Plus, I think you're kinda cute."

She takes pleasure in watching Momota duck to avoid the pen she throws at his face.

As the days pass by, she finds herself opening up more and more to Momo... Kaito. (He had insisted upon calling him that, reasoning that they weren't strangers anymore. He wasn't wrong, so she obliged.) As the SHSL Biker Gang Leader Maki is used to a life of hushed voices and fearful glances whenever she shows up, and she deals with it because being the top of the food chain means she has to keep her image intact. But Kaito is different. She feels like she can be actually personal with Kaito, in a way even Korekiyo cannot provide. Maybe it's because whatever she tells him, he doesn't judge - he just listens.

He listens to her past as an orphan, tossed from foster home to foster home. He listens to her recounting the brutal world of street crime and how it burned her childhood into ashes. He listens to what she feels about Korekiyo, how she's grateful for him because he was her first real friend. She can tell he's genuinely interested in whatever it is she's saying.

And then, when she's done talking, he'll share something about himself. He used to want to be an astronaut, before deciding his talents would better be used helping the sick and injured. His best friend is the SHSL Detective (one of them, at least). He helped set him up with his crush the SHSL Pianist, and they've been dating for almost a year. He can actually make some delicious maki rolls. (He brought some over one day to share with her at lunch and she's never tasted a better roll. Maybe the nickname isn't too bad after all?)

It's all very new to her, and Maki is both unnerved and excited by it at the same time. One thing is sure, though - it feels very good to have someone who understands her.

The four months are gone in a flash, and soon Kaito is removing the last pieces of her leg cast as she reads a text from Korekiyo saying he'll head over to pick her up. Maki steals a glance at the nurse busying himself with the cast saw. Is it too sentimental to think that she'd like to see him some more? First impressions aside, she's really grown attached to him - and a part of her wonders if that attachment could become something more. Dammit, Maki thinks. She's been away from action for too long. She must have gone soft. Lost in thought, she jumps in surprise when Kaito's face abruptly fills her field of vision.

"Earth to Maki Roll," he says, "As I was saying, your arm and leg have mended splendidly, so you'll be cleared in the next hour - so I got you a good health present!"

He hands her a bundle wrapped in glittery purple wrapping paper. She tears it open, only to find... her old jacket?

It's not her old jacket. Her old jacket got shredded to ribbons in the crash and they had to throw it away. But this one, also black leather with crimson highlights but shiny new, fits her perfectly in both style and size.

"I saw the interns throwing out your jacket the day you got here. I guessed you might miss it, so I got you a new one. It's not the exact same model, but..."

"How did you know my size?"

"You're joking, right? You went through more than a hundred hospital gowns. Of course I remembered." His smile is blinding, and Maki can't help but give a small smile back in return. For a split second, as she holds the clearly heartfelt gift, all her emotions do battle debating what to do. She settles for hugging him awkwardly around the midsection with a muttered "Thank you."

"You're welcome! It wasn't a big deal, really." Kaito's smile is positively radiant as he hugs her back.

She could really get used to this.

NO. Stop it, Maki. You're the SHSL Biker Gang Leader. You have a reputation. You can't be this soft.

Speaking of soft, Kaito's shirt feels really soft...

Maki. STOP.

She recoils quickly, ducking to hide the blush on her face, and spits out "I bet you give presents to all the patients you treat!" to hide her embarassment only to immediately regret it when his face visibly falls.

"I'm not that kind of person, you know," he mutters, "you were the first time I bought someone something." It's the quietest she's ever seen him. Great, now she's the one feeling bad.

"I'm sorry," she whispers. Kaito gives her a small smile as he escorts her to the doctor's office. "It's okay. I guess I should tell you you're also the only one to get a nickname?"

She laughs out loud, and it feels good again.

True to Kaito's word, the doctor soon gives her the all-clear. He does, however, remind her to go easy on her limbs and keep doing physical therapy for at least another month.

Korekiyo is, true to his word, waiting for her just outside the door with a full brigade of riders in tow. As Maki strides out to meet him, he wordlessly hands her a cracked pair of glasses and a bloody ribbon. Maki grins as she inspects the trophies. Shirogane won't be bothering them anytime soon.

He beckons her to the new bike he just dismounted and mounts the one next to it, just behind the rider. "It's all yours, boss. Just out from the shop."

But before she can get on her new bike and leave, she is reminded of Kaito standing just a few steps behind her, his eyes fixed on her back. Maki's no mind-reader, but she can clearly see the thinly veiled longing etched in his face.

It should be a tough decision. She has a reputation to keep, control to reassume, and underlings to whip into shape, after all. But Maki didn't become queen of the road by doing what everyone expected her to do, did she? It's that moment she decides to do what she does best - follow what her heart tells her. She asks Korekiyo for a pen.

Kaito has decided he's stared enough and just turned to go back inside when Maki's voice rings out from behind him.

"Wait!"

He turns back around. Maki saunters toward Kaito, new jacket glinting in the sunlight. She leans in close to his ear.

"I might come back a few times for my physical therapy... surely you wouldn't mind walking me through the steps a few times?", she whispers, her warm breath tickling his ear. Pleasant shivers run through Kaito's spine.

Kaito gets the message. His smile could call the Sun too dark as he replies, "I'd love to!"

Pulling the boy close into a hug, Maki stuffs a note in his pocket and plants a quick kiss on his cheek before walking back to her bike and the waiting Korekiyo. A few throaty revs and a hand signal from Maki later, the bikes all zoom away leaving only a small cloud of fumes and some skid marks behind.

Left alone in the parking lot, Kaito fishes out Maki's note and opens it, pumping his fist when he sees its contents - a phone number underlined twice, with the name 'Maki Roll' written next to it. The short message below simply reads 'Call me'.

Back at their headquarters, Korekiyo dares to ask Maki about the purple-haired nurse she seemed quite close to. Her only reply is a smile and "Someone I can tolerate being close to."

One thing I love about Chihiro’s swimsuit is that everyone who loves Chihiro loves it. I hc him as a cis boy, and I think that swimsuit is perfect! I’ve seen a lot of transfem Chihiro headcanoners loving the swimsuit too, and same with the nb Chihiro lovers. Basically:

I love talentswap aus, but it really annoys me when people swap the personalities and aesthetic too. Part of the fun of talentswaps is thinking about how different the Ultimate would be if it were someone else. It’s also cool to think about how the characters could have similar backgrounds to their canon universe counterparts yet still have a different talent.

For example, Sayaka as the Ultimate Gambler wouldn’t be dressed as a Gothic Lolita. That’s Celeste’s style, not a hallmark of the Gambler talent itself.

Additionally, Byakuya as the Ultimate Writing Prodigy wouldn’t inherit Toko’s system. Syo didn’t come from Toko being a writer, she came from her childhood trauma.

If Junko were talent swapped with Chihiro, she’d keep her Ultimate Analyst and Despair talents, but she uses them alongside her programming to cause despair to as much people as possible- she could hack computers to spread her despair.

I just like talentswaps where they’re still Themselves, but with a different specialty.

Sam Faber continues to be an excellent character.

So does Cami.

And I gotta say I really love Danny. He’s just so fun! And I love that he was immediately supportive of Bobby, and is invested in his best friend getting a boyfriend!

And I LOVE that Melissa’s completely genuine about her redemption and became a part of Elena’s friend group. Plus she’s got that cool coding expertise!

Also shoutout to Melissa Fumero who I immediately recognized as the theatre teacher

It was when Shuichi was down on his knees, his hand stuck far down the tight crevice between his badly put together wardrobe, courtesy of his closest friend who figured himself a professional carpenter, and the damp paint peeling off of the wall, when he heard the thump. Confused and apprehensive, Shuichi looked over his shoulder to see a short young man slip from underneath the curtain, and of course, like any sane person, Shuichi did absolutely nothing but gently clear his throat. Shuichi's life just gets a whole hell of a lot more stressful from there.

At that moment, the elevator grinds to a stop with a worrying creak. They both turn their heads towards the door expectantly.

The lights in the elevator flicker out, plunging them into darkness.

Ryouma pats his pocket for his packet of candy cigarettes and fumbles for a piece. The sound is loud in the absolute dark. “Ouma,” he says dryly, “I know you want answers from me, but I think this has gone a little far.”

AU where there’s an elevator and Hoshi Ryouma, on his way to meet with Toujou, gets stuck in it with Ouma for seven hours.

This changes things.

[holy-shit-dangan-ronpa]

more backstory n shit for my v3 talentswap au oopsie

Pianist Shinguuji

His sister is the reason he started to play piano.

He doesn't really like playing too much, he prefers to listen.

He thrives off the positive attention and thrill of winning, so he keeps playing.

He wants to make his sister proud one day, since her playing is the best (in his opinion).

??? Yumeno

She likes helping out others, but is still lazy.

She only sometimes pays attention in class.

Never gets enough sleep.

Loves oversized sweaters.

So cute.

Suffers of some resting bitch face.

Possibly SHSL Tutor? (not sure abt that)

Inventor Gonta

You know Tinkerbell? yeah thats him

Instead of talking to bugs when he got lost, he made stuff with things he found in the woods.

He made this super cool irrigation system!

Still thanks people for talking to him (like in canon)

Ruler Kiibo

Asks that you call him "SHSL President" bc it sounds less scary

His mom's a US Senator. He studies English in his free time!

His dad works for the Japanese government.

So many expectations oh god

He actually detests politics. He wants to be an engineer!

Best friends with Gonta.

No relation to Iidabishi.

Robot Iruma (TW for disowning and sexual abuse...?)

Originally invented by Iidabishi to be the perfect woman of his sexual fantasies (hence her proportions)

(This is why she talks in sex jokes a lot)

One time Iidabishi broke her, and her code got mixed up with another one of Iidabishi's projects.

Not wanting to be Iidabishi's slave anymore, she ran away from home.

She wants to be a real human!

She has no idea whst friendships or love (outside of sex) are ( :,( )

Entomologist Ouma

Super bad at socializing.

So he goes to his backyard and begins talking to the bugs in his backyard!

They get ready to rule the world!

He summons mosquitos to bite people who piss him off.

Somehow, his fashion sense is even worse than in canon.

(idk what to do for detective!tenko pls help)

Cosplayer Toujou

So many sighs of relief when she says her talent.

(Everyone mistakes her for some sort of evil being or something.)

Always at her sewing machine, making new garmets and doing comissions.

People have to remind her to eat.

She never denies a cosplay request. never.

Anthropologist Tsumugi

Learning is her favorite thing to do!

She has this like, three-inch thick binder filled with her research and facts.

Mythology is her favorite!

She's often cited in documentaries.

Often spotted in the library, on the ground, surrounded by textbooks, pens, and papers.

Aikido Maki

Raised in an orphanage like in canon.

One time, for a week, an aikido practitioner came in order to convince the kids to get active.

Using the practictioner's techniques, and making techniques of her own, she invented "Children's Aikido."

She was able to escape the orphanage with her newfound strength!

She came back and formed a makeshift "underground railroad" for the other kids.

The caretakers still haven't caught on.

Caretaker Hoshi

Most kids don't even know he's a high school student.

His hat is a pikachu. That way kids can recognize him.

Works at a local daycare.

He gets called "king" by the kids, because his lanyard means that he has authority.

Sometimes he brings his cat to the daycare. The kids love his cat.

Maid Momota

Japanese Café Maid.

Even wears a petticoat.

Purple uniform with white apron. Tons of ruffles.

He saw a live show at a maid café when he was little and immediately decided that that was what he was gonna be when he grew up.

People laugh at him a lot because he's a boy in a frilly dress but he doesn't care!

He was able to start working at a maid café at 14 thanks to his friends crafting a resumé for him. (The age requirement was 16.)

He was found out, but he still works.

He's Momota Kaito, soon to be the most famous Maid in the universe!

Tennis Player Angie

The star of her island's sport's festivals.

She says her talent isn't what lets her win, but rather the influence of God.

Has a buttoned skirt that she rips off before matches.

Everyone underestimates her because she's cute!

Picks up random slang from traveling so much for matches.

Astronaut Akamatsu

Galaxy tights!!

She wants to go to space!!

Won science competitions as a kid.

Head of her middle school astronomy club.

Knows like, every constellation.

Same personality as in canon.

Magician Amami

Had no plans to become a magician.

His friends were chillin' with him one day and he managed to pull off these cool tricks accidentally.

He then learned how to do magic thanks to textbooks and youtube.

Performs shows locally most of the time, but does live events on youtube!

Uses the money to support his family.

Artist Saihara

Has been taking private art lessons with his uncle for 6+ years.

Under constant pressure of good grades from his parents, and he prefers to be with his Uncle bc he understands him better.

He is great at watercolor!

He doesn't think he's a good artist bc he can't draw digitally.

He tries his best.

reviewing the v3′s kids anniversary outfits

i know i’m late to the party shhhh

rantaro: lavender accents are an interesting choice for rantaro but the fedora tip....no.

kokichi: i know this is a controversial take in the kokichi fandom but i’m not overly fond of this one...it looks Fine but greasy casino owner is not a vibe i fuck w/.

kiibo: the fact that he has FORMAL ARMOR is hilarious - who do you think built that for him, miu or the professor??? also i must agree with my mutual quinn in that he definitely has the coat and scarf just so he can give them away. everyone knows that’s why but he thinks he’s being very subtle.

gonta: ABSOLUTELY BLESSED. ponytail gonta is a massive W and i think the suit looks genuinely really nice. his bowtie...!

shuichi: another controversial take but i love this one. is it hideous? yes! is it in character? also yes! he did NOT get it fitted and it’s too loose in the waist and too tight in the shoulders. he shuffles out onto the dance floor smelling like mothballs. everyone who sees him is immediately compelled to kiss him on the lips. sir i am captivated by your complete lack of drip.

korekiyo: this one is so good it’s my hc redesign for him. minus the fedora and ponytail of course but nobody’s perfect.

ryoma: WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT HAT

kaito: a really nice looking design and a win for all detective kaito talentswap fans 😌. similar to kiibo in that he wore that extra coat just to drape on someone.

kaede: very cute...a little tacky but in a fun prom way!! the bun looks nice and that chibi art of her sharing champagne with shuichi lives in my head rent free.

miu: PERFECTION. i absolutely ADORE mermaid dresses so this one was always gonna be a hit, but it’s just!! so good!!! the scrunchy...the big sunglasses...she is Living Her Best Life. hot partygirl energy is unmatched.

tsumugi: !!!!! ok i don’t know what those silk elbow-scarf things Are (i thought they were chinese bc i always see them on chinese gods but dr is japanese so maybe they’re just a general east asian thing?? idk) bu they are *gorgeous*. the elegance!! the flow!!! and what a nice springtime color scheme too. say what you will about tsumugi’s neverending torment of her ocs but good god does she have style.

tenko: similar to shuichi’s in that it’s hideous but we support that. they got so close to putting her in an actual suit!! maybe in another ten years kodaka will finally allow one of his female characters to wear pants. also never forget her giving himiko a rose in the chibi art that shit cute as hell.

kirumi: ohhh lovely. it seems like they played up her being a politician? it turned out great, i especially love the cape and boots. and she’s not wearing gloves!! that feels significant to me for some reason.

maki: very nice color scheme and the flower hairpiece is especially lovely. idk why but it feels like she’s matching with tsumugi. diversity win: the two most murderous women you know are on a date <3

himiko: so CUUUTE. the sheer tulle skirt over the lower skirt looks really nice, and i love the star pattern. can’t forget the waist bow also i love a good waist bow. the magicial girl aesthetic is great, but i do wish they’d made her hat bigger? it’s too big to be a clip-on but too small to be an actual hat and it just looks a bit silly to me.

angie: what kind of party city aladdin nonsense...THIS is what it takes for one of the girls to wear pants??? i’ll just wait another ten years thanks >:(

i’m doing the swimsuits next!! as soon as i can find a clear picture of them...
