gremlyn's danganronpa: despair time x limbus company au (drdt spoilers under cut up to chapter 2!!)
i LOVE making aus with a target audience of one person (1) by blendering two of my current interests together. this truly was our despair time.
everyone except mai's "sprites" are drawn based on official sprites, and they're meant to be height accurate! or, uh, a valiant attempt was made. at the very least i got to practice drawing everyone 🎉
(complete but constantly changing AU & character notes under cut: LOTS and i mean LOTS of yapping down there. spoilers up to chapter 2 and literature girl insane MV. content warning for "standard danganronpa stuff"; the hidden text in here is about the same level as drdt's hidden tumblr page quotes)
first up is a quick crash course on limbus company! that being said, i don't think i explained myself well at all, so i recommend just checking out the official website. or straight up playing it. i'm happy to answer any and all questions, though, whether here or in my limbus-centric main (@iamjustagremlin)!
and now here are the character notes. i have a Lot to say.
one more minor thing i'm 99% sure forgot to include and am too lazy to fix: the canon sinners are each assigned a color code and a cool descriptor (it doesn't even need to be an adjective. cool factor always wins), such as "oblivion yellow", "dreamy gray", and "inferno red". my brain won't let me tackle these yet, but my first attempt for xander was "courageous crimson", and my first attempt for teruko was "cursed clover".
once again, if you've made it this far: thank you for reading! and my askbox is always open for mutual brainrotting 👉 👈
(also, if you squint at the character notes for long enough, there might be even more to read... it's not much, but it's honest work. do note that it should be about as "heavy" as drdt's hidden tumblr page quotes)
now that heathcliff has distorted i hope don and hong lu also distort
but specifically in this way where heathcliff sees a pattern after don, and goes to hong lu at the beginning of the canto like "right, mate, i dunno, better safe than sorry. if you start hearing some bird inside your noggin—"
"i must concur with ser heathcliff! should thee hear the voice of a fair lady inside thy brain urging you to 'give in', she is naught but a deceptive wretch whose path can only lead to DISTORRRRRTION!"
"will you shut up? ...the lass is right. just don't listen to any strange voice, if you do happen to hear one."
hong lu is like "okayyy ^_^" and then distorts anyway. and once it's over heath and don are like WHY DID YOU DO THAT... WE WARNED YOU... and hong lu is literally just like
"hmmm.... it was an interesting experience!" and won't explain further (← thought it would be fun)
