"Makoto, look at her! She's wonderful!!" "Yeah, but I think your yelling is scaring her..."

A picture I drew of Noriko's birth, back before I came up with Sachiko. This isn't canon anymore, and not just because there should be two babies. ...you'll see.

Yeah! I love hinata-ex-machina postgames for him but it can be so powerful and bittersweet when fanworks leave him terminal and explore that. It can add a lot to DR's themes and from a representation perspective for someone to still find fulfilment knowing they'll die soon, and as Komaeda's deepest desire was to not die alone and unloved we can explore him dying surrounded by people that love him and how he would process that.

Death happens to all of us eventually. It just happens sooner for some people than others.

Even when he is cured there's a lot of potential to explore his FTD worsening beforehand and him being left with lifelong symptoms afterwards. I think its progression would be arrested, not reversed, though perhaps he would find ways to improve in some areas in the long term between coping mechanisms and the adaptability of human brains. Maybe he wouldn't age as well as others due to what he's been through as well. Maybe he'd always be in and out of hospitals with new problems due to his luck. There's a lot we can do.

I understand why a lot of fanworks don't take into account Komaeda's multiple terminal illnesses (it's a bummer, undermines your happy ending, luck ex machina, etc) but honestly I wish it came up more often. I wanna see that man in the grave.

do you have fic recs for danganronpa. I liked theoretical friction of lucky stars that was a banger

i only read komahina/kamukoma so you are only getting komahina/kamukoma recs BUT ! here are my favs

warm steel and cold hands is a postgame komahina fic, long time fav for me. definitely a quite wacky premise but the smut scenes are all skippable if youre not interested and its actually a really fluffy and cozy read. takes a far more wholesome approach then theoretical friction

i cant take you anywhere is a non despair komahina slowburn where they go on a road trip its suuper cute and fluffy. many shenanigans

defy you stars is a postgame komahina fic that id highly recommend if you liked theoretical friction, theyve defo got that same weird situationship going on. fluff and angst and also a shakespeare motif. if i had to choose a favorite fic out of everything ive read from any fandom it would have to be this one hands down it made me cry 3 times while reading

out for blood is a cute komahina werewolf vampire au. i read it every halloween

star stitches is a really good little kamukoma oneshot that makes me ill

unveiling is the first part of the hallowed be thy name series, despair era kamukoma. i havent read the series in a while because its on the darker side from my memory, but i do remember it having super good characterization (notably for izuru) and capturing the tragedy era feel perfectly. the best despair kamukoma slowburn ive read its got romantic arson and everything. you need to be logged in to read it if the link doesnt work

izuru kamukura’s cuddly toy is a classic nondespair kamukoma fic. as you can tell by the title it definitely took a more lighthearted approach lol. very cute and sweet if youre not into the constant feeling of impending doom that despair era gives. complete opposite end of the kamukoma characterization spectrum
