as always Zerav puts it into the best words ever. I've been suggesting towards it in some of my ooc musings on Makoto for years and years, the fact that the thing keeping Makoto from being a genuinely dangerous person is how he has lines he'll try his hardest not to cross
#out of character — hey‚ the radio’s on the fritz!#but the elements are there in Makoto is the thing#that's what makes it so interesting for me

#tbh he'd have some kind of weapon someone else on the team also has like how Takumi and Kyoshika both have katanas, to drive in him not being unique. the reason my mind went to katana is because in a lot of ways Takumi is Makoto 2.0 (plus swords are cool). Hajime would have a more distinctive weapon since he's got the whole Izuru thing going on!!! honestly I dig the idea of Hajime's weapon being able to change shape to suit the situation since Izuru has every talent. I saw that somewhere but I don't remember where
Been browsing some fandom spaces and the mistake people make when making Hundred Line AUs for Makoto is that what they give him is too distinctive, he'd have something basic like a katana. Makoto's whole thing is that he's the everyman. He doesn't get distinctive or over the top things. Take the normal sword and go fight for humanity mr normal
#out of character.#go play hundred line it's peak#as for shuichi.... maybe he'd be the one out of the trio to get an actual gun. komaru'd get something like the hacking gun#but Makoto gets the simple and straightforward weapon since he's the everyman

The season's completely in swing. The birds are chirping, the skies are clear and free of worries, and--
Yeah, the heat is just as intense as it is every year. At least I don't have any summer homework.
Alright... Since there's nothing else to do, time to figure out a way to beat the heat!
#in character — only my heart‚ that won’t give up.#you know what summer means?#beach episodes! summer games! swimming! swimsuits-- wait what? Makoto wasn't thinking about anything

Reading Hundred Line is making me want to write Makoto's determination getting to the insane unhinged levels I know that it can get to + that I have fantasized about it getting to for years
#out of character — hey‚ the radio’s on the fritz!#and also him swearing to protect/support someone else like he did with maizono#in case you guys couldn't tell takumi's character is inspiring me a lot with just how much it draws from Makoto

hello character who is desperate to be a good person; i want to play a game. in front of you is the one person you will never be able to save. you have the rest of your life to make peace with this. there are no defined repercussions if you fail, but we both know you're going to attempt to win regardless. your time starts now

See one of the reasons why reading Takumi is so fun is because part of him takes from an aspect of Makoto that gets brought up early on in DR with Maizono: how he can dedicate himself to protecting and supporting someone (usually a love interest but not exclusively so) else. He finds genuine purpose in it. I think it's more than just "Makoto is a guy in his late teens who has a massive crush on someone he's admired from afar for years" even if it IS that in part, since there's a pattern of behavior in a similar vein with the School Mode endings
#out of character.#if Maizono lived the 'i have to protect maizono-san' and the 'i have to save everyone' thoughts swirling in his head would have been#delicious to see#man an alt trial 1 where a Maizono who successfully killed Kuwata was there would be amazing..#imagine how horrible Makoto would feel. haha. i want him to be put in a lab

Yeah? Yeah. This just confirms to me that Takumi is Kodaka's modern take on Makoto, because that's exactly Makoto's definition of hope
#mobile.#hundred line spoilers //#not that kodaka was subtle with the 'Takumi is heavily inspired by Makoto and is his spiritual successor' before this but like#LIKE#LIKE??????

I try to write Makoto as having an undercurrent of ferocity to him-- in a lot of ways he's completely unpredictable. Yes he's an incredibly personable kind and cute guy who can befriend and form deep relationships with practically anyone but he'll also struggle and fight back in any way he possibly can until the literal second he dies. He has incomparable strength of will, he's ruthless in a fight, and he uses every advantage he can precisely because he knows he's weak. Makoto's a pacifist but he's absolutely willing to fight if he has to, and in a pinch his fight/flight/freeze response usually goes to fight. Idk. He's confusing and even I think of him as unforeseeable when I write him
#out of character — hey‚ the radio’s on the fritz!#no matter how much Makoto tells himself otherwise he's one of my muses that gets used to death quicker than most too#motions entirely at how his reactions to corpses becomes more subdued throughout D.R1 (in addition to his absolute determination growing)#and D.R1 takes place over the course of like what. two and a half weeks?#he's an ordinary person and likes living ordinarily and he's mostly completely fine with the fact he's normal#makoto ''normal guy'' naegi. and at the same time there are a few parts of him that come out most in conflict#they only really come out when there IS conflict or danger or there's something that makes him lock in#this is my way to say that Makoto is able to kill. and he'd be able to get used to it too even if he keeps telling himself he's not#but he's completely morally opposed to killing unless it's absolutely necessary and EVEN THEN he will always hold#it over himself even if it's completely justified

Hundred Line is probably going to have a massive effect on how I write Makoto (and write in general) going forward, bc of how consistent Takumi's motivations are across different scenarios/actions. The example helps me push back against the "but would Makoto actually do this?" overthinker in the back of my head, doubly so bc they have very similar motivations/goals (saving everyone, avoiding all possible death, etc)
#mobile.#still dealing with a lot of IRL things and once things have calmed down I'll make a real attempt to return#but just a random thought for now

" Seriously... Why do I keep thinking that this time, this vending machine will be different from the rest? "
#in character — only my heart‚ that won’t give up.#the war between Makoto and vending machines continues (his bad luck keeps fucking up most of the times he tries to interact with one)
