So I moved Ferdinand into his own lot, adjust season and day to match the rest of the hood, then get to play one day to end of round...

Note to self, start looking at household funds when preparing to load households...

Anyway, he had several k in his pockets... so has a nice hut to start with.

So I look through his relationship panel and find he has chemistry with only Opal. So I port all the unpartnered adults and oldest teens over (females anyway) to see what would happen

Acr grabbed Opal...that's what would happen... and Jesse dropped by while Ferdinand was "busy" to flirt with Ebony (I think he's got 3 bolts to be honest). So when acr finished with them I sent everyone else home and hung out with Opal.

This is cute. He's cloud watching, and she's watching him...

Yeah, I reneged and got bookshelves. To be fair, Ebony maxed the creative skill, so check that off (it just wasn't maxed by writing a novel. Considering I haven't even added desks...)

Found the reports in the family tree...this is cool...

So from the parent you can see the birth order... Ferdinand is third.

I'm not enjoying having much fun with oldest inheritance rule. Never have to be honest. Maybe tweak the rule so youngest inherits (move the oldest out so I don't get confused as to whom is whose child) poor Hickory not getting any love (totally looked just like Spruce...so much so that I can't even pick photos of Spruce out to add him to the tree 😅

Opinion on TinyLeaf’s video on Rain Code? (Specifically what they think of the characters)

I saw this ask pop up and instinctively went to go listen to the video. FYI: I haven't watched the full video; I wanted to mainly stick to your request of what TinyLeaf and Phos thought of the characters, so I watched up to the ending of that section. I feel like this video's (or at least what I've watched up to) unscripted nature really pulls down at any point they try to make about the characters they bring up. It also hurt to hear that they experienced the game with barely any audio, as the voice acting and music in this game really improves the experience, especially since this game isn't a visual novel and shouldn't be treated as one.

For a section talking about Rain Code's cast, it hardly felt like they discussed them with any greater detail. They kept bringing up characters from other games instead, making the discussion feel bloated. Their main point is that the cast is boring, but they rarely give reasons as to why they think so, with the only characters they really delved into being Yuma, Shinigami, and Kurumi. I do actually agree with their thoughts about Kurumi being bland. She really did feel like a 'nothing' character where her main purpose was to provide information unknown to Yuma when necessary for the plot. She's cute, sure, but it doesn't remedy how forced she felt in the story. As for the NDA detectives, TinyLeaf and Phos hardly spoke of them at all, Halara and Vivia being almost completely left out of their discussion. I think the point they tried to make is that the NDA detectives having their own focus for one chapter each is why they think they're boring, but that message didn't completely fall through.

If TinyLeaf is to ever make a scripted video in the future, it'll be a lot less like sifting through filler. But for now, this video serves as an opinion piece I don't really jive with. And that's fine! They needed to get out their unfiltered thoughts and feelings out and they did exactly that! But as a form of discussion, there isn't much I can really talk about since a lot of their points can be summarized as 'it was boring.'

In SDR2, Ibuki Mioda bites the dust as a result of Monokuma’s latest diabolical motive, the Despair Disease. This element, and Chapter 3 as a whole, remain controversial in the fandom. I’ve seen quite a few YouTube videos proposing “fixes” for the storyline (TinyLeaf’s thoughtful rewrite comes to mind). Many fans think the whole motive is too nonsensical to be salvaged. I happen to find it interesting, and I’d like to keep it in "I DISAGREE: An Ibuki Mioda SDR2 Protag Swap AU" … with a few radical changes of my own.

Down with the Sickness: Starting the Game with Despair Disease

First, let’s review the basics of the Despair Disease. It’s …

A motive! One of Monokuma’s ways to push ordinarily non-homicidal teenagers into concocting and enacting fiendish murder plots. I’m not sure if I’ll invent any new ones for this AU. The ones currently in SDR2 really compel me. That said, I’m definitely not just copying and pasting them. AUs are for bold rethinking, and I’d like to twist this thing around and freshen things up.

More literally, a communicable illness. While symptoms include fevers and fatigue, the standout side effect is a major reversal of the sufferer’s personality. Some say it turns people into their exact opposite, which seems … a bit simplistic, but it’s a good starting point. It might be most accurate to say that the infected is definitely not acting like themself.

Well … a bit bullshit. I agree with many of the criticisms often leveled at this plot device. The drama of Danganronpa comes from thoroughly fleshed-out characters taking desperate actions based not just on their circumstances, but on who they are and what they value or stand for. A magical personality rewiring doesn’t keep with that. Still, there’s something spicy about characters suddenly becoming different, becoming unpredictable, losing control over themselves …

So yeah, I’m keeping it for this AU. But I’m not keeping Chapter 3 intact. This most contentious of Danganronpa plot points will actually move to the very beginning of the story!

Well, almost. The beats of the beginning will stay the same, with virtually the only differences being that Mikan wakes up Ibuki (who foams at the mouth and faints from the island reveal) and they meet everyone at the beach (besides Hajime, who passed out cold). This story still needs those precious few days before things start really going downhill. Time for characters to discuss their options over communal breakfasts, explore their surroundings, and grapple with the reality of their new nightmare lives. Time for them to get to know each other … but not much time at all.

One morning, a few of them are acting out. Granted, they all still think of each other as a little strange, but this erratic behavior seems different. It’s not long before Mikan Tsumiki notices that those classmates’ foreheads are running hot, and Monokuma finally confirms that the first motive is a contagious illness. He’s stingy with details, asserting that the Ultimate Nurse and all these other Hope’s Peak smarties can figure out the details. What he will reveal is that it’ll keep spreading until another life ends through less natural causes.

What a world of difference this rearrangement of events would make! Consider: by Chapter 3, the characters (and the player) already know each other well enough to recognize exactly what’s happening with the Despair Disease. They know to be weirded out by Akane’s nonstop weeping, Nagito’s baseless conspiracy theories, and Ibuki’s mindless obedience. At this early point, (almost) no one will know what to think of their infected classmates’ behavior. Is it that hysteria is a symptom, showing differently in each person? Is it just a normal psychological reaction to an abnormal situation, exacerbated by high body temperature? Is it … something else?

That’s what Mikan and her brave volunteers, including our plucky protag, will spend Chapter 1 investigating. One change cascades into an entirely fresh chapter, and those changes in turn will affect the entire narrative.

To be clear, I’m not doing any of this to “fix” SDR2 Chapter 3. It’s not like I think I’m fixing SDR2 by recasting another character as the main! This is all a creative exercise, a writer’s playtime between the boring day job and more serious personal projects. With that said, I wonder if Despair Disease haters might get something out of what comes from this decision. I’ll share more of this story next time.

-redstarcat, that one artist who draws the tiny gremlin, Smollymauk Tinyleaf

aw i love seeing small molly, it's so adorable to me! I want to just put the tiny tief in my pocket. But yes!! Short molly my beloved!!

I've always liked to headcannon molly being smaller than Caleb because it's just adorable to me, and I'm so pleased that we're apparently getting shorter molly in the animated series :') Like, even with the horns, he's still smaller than his wizard. That's just so cute.

Of course it pulls you out of bed to help with birthday. I actually wondered if Tiffany was going to miscarry...we did get notified that things were not going well...

Hmm. I didn't grab photos of the family tree. And I don't have photos of Spruce on it yet either. Spruce and Hickory may as well have been twins

Hickory is nefew of Spruce (I had to look it up)

So that's all for now...
