Slams back another mug of coffee. Ghosts that constantly check on their newly risen partners constantly because:

1: Holy shit they actually found their guardian and they cannot contain themselves. 2: Holy shit there is a lot more that goes into keeping one of these fuckers alive than you'd think.

I have a confession to make. I don't actually speak German. I'm American. Born and raised here. Whenever I post in German it's actually gibberish and all the Germans are in on it. This was all an elaborate attempt to look cool and multilingual. I'm also not getting a PhD. I'm getting an MBA. I'm a business student.

I was reminded of this on Twitter How the Golden Cave eyeball is EVERYWHERE with Fool's Gold stuff

THEN I remembered when Norton suddenly had green eyes instead of his brown for a second there and I was like "uh were they going to go the route of him being possessed after/during the mining 'accident' but back tracked??

also side note THERE USED THE BE GHOULS THAT WOULD THROW GOLD AT YOU?????????????????????????? ON THE GOLDEN CAVE MAP??????

and interesting that they say 'false rumors' here:

I wanna DIG into all this and start yappin 👀

" So did you somehow cobble together a weird friendship with yours too? Don't ask me how cause I could not tell you. All I will say is guess even unhinged men have some integrity on loyalty."

Vin to this day still couldn't figure out how it happened but it hasn't been a bad friendship. Just one he had no explanation for how it occurred.

"Hey I just don't appreciate being screwed over after investing time and effort into something." One of his redeeming qualities was his loyalty after all.

There's a familiar figure, just standing there with his arms crossed and his back turned. He looked like Silver, but he wasn't Silver.

As you approach, his ear flicks as he hears your footsteps, then he turns slightly, and finally takes notice of you.

He seemed a bit surprised he had some guests.

"Who the hell are you supposed to be?"

[anto-pops]

You wake up in the middle of the night with a sinking feeling that you’re being watched. HARK! Sebastian Sallow in the flesh is standing in your room and he locked the door! Do you scream? Do his red flags outweigh the fictional charm and drive you to reach for a weapon? Or do you live out your wildest smut writer fantasies? 🫦🔥

HELLO ??? That motherfucker is locked in the room with ME

I feel like I'm having a fucking stroke

[zastraea]

mannn the tone of this trilogy is just. so grim

fitz has never had a particularly good time of it but everything has a hopeless air to it in a way the other trilogies don't. please stop threatening to kill yourself you're bumming the hoes out </3

hoping that there's some more levity in the last ~600 pages of this saga (outlook not so good)

i think a major part of this is losing the fool's jesting dialogue, which always brought out a lighthearted side of fitz. just feels almost like robin is punishing beloved (and fitz as always of course). for what? idk, being too joyful of a character? her whimsical heart? as punishment for readers seeing a romantic love story robin didn't intend ??

[aparticularbandit]

Alright, so, today on Bandit does analysis, we're gonna talk about this scene right here:

Where the Monokubs screwed up and didn't change any of these kids' costumes or download their first memory and do any brain rewriting and so they all woke up as still themselves in a scene that definitely wasn't supposed to happen at all, nuh-uh, nope.

Except.

I wanna talk about this.

This right here.

Tsumugi having a normie outfit.

Like.

Why does this even exist.

If everyone was supposed to show up already in their new costumes with their new memories intact, then why does Tsumugi have a normie costume?

If this is a mistake, Tsumugi should be showing up in her Ultimate Cosplayer costume ready to go because everyone else should also be showing up as Ultimates. In fact, there's no reason for Tsumugi to not show up in her Ultimate costume. Even in the case of a mistake (as the Monokubs are assumed to have made), all of these kids are going to have their minds wiped anyway, so they won't remember Tsumugi was already in her costume.

There is no reason for Tsumugi to have this outfit.

Unless.

This scene was always supposed to be here.

The only people who Tsumugi would need to wear this costume for are the viewers, which means that this scene was definitely plotted, the kids were all definitely supposed to do this, and the viewers were meant to see it to set up for the reveal later on.

Which would mean that the reveal was always intended - at least by Tsumugi, even if not by Team Danganronpa themselves.

(It is entirely possible that Tsumugi has cobbled this outfit together from her personal cosplay; I think it was @funishment-time who pointed out that this looks extremely similar to Haruhi's sailor outfit, which would definitely keep it from being something the costuming department was aware of or made. The colors are different, but like. Tsumugi's a cosplayer; she's got the skills to change all that.)

OR.

Tsumugi's a normal student who had her mind rewritten just like everyone else in the Game did.

The Monokubs did screw up, and Tsumugi really wasn't writing any of this until she's well into the Game (and then they've downloaded what she needs to improv as she goes. and programmed Motherkuma to listen to her voice. ahead of time. somehow (seeing all the other stuff they're able to do, this probably isn't actually a stretch, just incredibly creepy)).

Tsumugi's just a normie like everyone else. Everything - everything - is fake, including Tsumugi herself.

Like, there is literally no other reason for Tsumugi to have that costume and show up in this scene wearing it. At least none that I can think of, although I'm sure someone else can/will, and I'm. super looking forward to that, actually! Because I look forward to other opinions!

But. Yeah. Analysis done. For now.
