I Just Realized Something Sad Related To Ace And Arturo In Ch.2

fuck that good

🔥 Despaircest (can't be unpopular as in "fandom hates it even though it's gr8"; we need to go weirder and deeper)

If those two fucking idiots ever had an actually honest and heartfelt conversation, things would have gone extremely differently because they actually did feel the same about each other.

The Despaircest plot is told out of order. 1-6's trial has Makoto's hope include the caveat of "we don't even know if Junko is lying!" Yes, he also goes "and if she isn't, we've got this", but that's just half of it and the other half is "nuh uh!" And here's the thing: SDR2 came out years later after DR1 was successful. DR1 never tells us if Junko was lying or not. So, view it with that in mind. DR1 leaves the question to us: was she full of shit?

Two years later, we get the answer. In 2-6. A whole game later, we find out the answer was "no, Junko was not lying". And that modifies the viewing of 1-6. Because now, you have to view 1-6 as "Junko is telling the truth here, she isn't lying to manipulate anyone, she's just being honest". When Junko says she loves her classmates? That's true. When Junko says the world ended? That's true. When Junko says Mukuro is just like her and loves despair the same way as her... wait, what?

Oh, but you're given a decoder ring. Beating SDR2 unlocks Danganronpa IF, where we find out that that is not at all true. But... if Junko isn't lying, but that isn't true, there's only one possible explanation. Junko's wrong. Now, how does that line up with IF? Perfectly.

In IF, Mukuro survives the murder because Makoto's memories start to come back and he warns her to dodge using her real name, so she does it on instinct, so she doesn't die, but he does get hurt trying to save her. Which leads to Mukuro turning on Junko. But importantly, there's the breakup.

"Say, sis?" "Oh! Junko, it's you!" Ikusaba's eyes brightened at the first sight of her sister in days, but they would soon go dim. "You know, I was always thankful to you, sis. I mean it." It was because Junko's voice, coming from the speakers, was terribly soft and gentle. "...Junko?" "I'm really sorry. I was being too harsh with you. I even tried to kill you just now, and I was about to make you do something horrible. Even though I know how you feel about Naegi." "I-I don't..." "Don't force yourself. You might not realize it, but it was really obvious. You never cared about those class pictures, but you looked at the camera properly that one time Naegi took the photo." From just the image on the monitor, the Super High School Level Despair looked like a girl with a sweet, innocent smile teasing her older sister. But that was exactly why Ikusaba was slowly falling towards despairing fear. "I always thought you should've put your all into it when you were in a picture with Naegi, but I guess that's all part of your disappointing self, sis." "But you know, you might be lackluster and disappointing, but I love that about you too." Ikusaba trembled. "I love you. How long had she wanted to hear these words from Junko? Ikusaba believed that, no matter what Junko said, she actually loved her very much. Ikusaba believed that she alone could understand the despair known as Junko Enoshima. It was a ludicrous notion. The moment Junko said, 'I love you', Ikusaba realized--to her agony--that she never truly understood her sister. Only now had she come to realize Junko's feelings. Junko was being kind. There was no lie in her gentle words. Perhaps she was being entirely truthful about loving her sister as well. This was precisely why this signalled the destruction of their relationship. Ikusaba realized that Junko was cutting ties with her. And before Ikusaba could say a word in reply, the girl on the monitor left her with a word of cruelty. "I know you'll make your dreams come true someday."

Do you get it? Junko really, truly loves Mukuro just as much as Mukuro loves her. And they never understood each other, but they both completely believed they did. Combine this with Junko in 1-6 talking about Mukuro and you have Junko's belief before the truth is revealed to her and Junko after the truth is revealed to her.

So, what was killing Mukuro? Trying to say "I love you" and make Mukuro's dreams come true without understanding Mukuro's love language or Mukuro's dreams. Consider how Junko describes how Mukuro "must have" felt. Why would she deny herself that despair? Simple: so Mukuro could have it, believing Mukuro wanted it just as much as she did. Her act of love in DR1 was self-sacrifice to give the greatest gift she could imagine to someone who she never realized didn't want it.

And what does Junko do when she does realize it? She breaks her entire sense of self and personality just to express her love to Mukuro. She realizes Mukuro has hope and everything, and she encourages it and fosters it out of love for her. She loves Mukuro enough that, even knowing they will now be enemies, she will speak Mukuro's love language rather than her own to make Mukuro truly know how much she loves her. This scene and killing Mukuro have the same meaning, and you can only come to understand this by combining 1-6 and IF to get two contradictory perspectives in order to recognize the before-belief and the after-belief.

Junko fucking loves her so goddamn much, but Junko expresses her love in a very particular way. Despair. Remember what she said to Class 78? She loves them all. She wasn't lying about that either. It's so personalized, so direct, so cruel, because she loves them. She loves Mukuro most of all, so she granted Mukuro the most intense despair imaginable, even though it meant losing it for herself, even though that is literally her entire modus operandi. It's fucking self-sacrifice when she kills Mukuro.

The twist is that she never understood that Mukuro didn't want it. Junko can understand and learn anything, except the one thing staring her in the face. But because of her talent, she can't imagine that there's something so blatant right in front of her she's failing to understand. Mukuro meanwhile? Danganronpa Zero gives us this:

Then, looking at the face Ikusaba-san showed me, I was suddenly taken aback. The ever so emotionless face was, ecstatic and smiling. "I don‘t know if...she is attracting despair or despair is attracting her but...she has lived her whole life with despair by her side. She lived while immersed in despair. That‘s why she began looking for despair in others. She learned to enjoy pushing people into despair. But you know, that‘s normal. It‘s the same as someone being cursed by misfortune fall into hatred for those who aren‘t. But what‘s special about her was that, she learned to enjoy inflicting despair onto herself. That‘s how the link to despair began. As she chased down despair, she pushed it onto others on the way. Doing so, it caused her to desire falling into despair even more...and because of that chain to despair, the Super High School Level Despair was born." While she spoke, it was like she fell into a fever, the expressions on her face turned into ecstasy. It was so completely absurd that it would have been hard for anybody to think of it as anything but a joke, but I understood that this was real. It might‘ve been because the memories of Junko Enoshima inside me led to that conclusion. "Hey, you don‘t get it right? I don‘t think anybody could. But you know, only I can understand it..." Consumed by ecstasy, even Ikusaba-san‘s breaths began to become ragged. "Only I am able of understanding her. That‘s why she needs me. She still hasn‘t realized that but, maybe she is only pretending not to realize. Ufu, that‘s because she‘s so shy. Ufufufu." Seeing this intoxicated Ikusaba-san continue to talk like that, repelled me. I knew that she definitely didn‘t have normal feelings for Junko Enoshima, but that sort of thing shouldn‘t have anything to do with me.

They both have failed to understand each other. Danganronpa Zero came out before Danganronpa IF. So,

Ikusaba believed that she alone could understand the despair known as Junko Enoshima. It was a ludicrous notion.

Is a callback to

"Hey, you don‘t get it right? I don‘t think anybody could. But you know, only I can understand it..."

Both of them are having their preconceived notions about each other shattered at the same time in that scene in IF. Because both of them just assumed they understood each other. Because of course they did. They've been linked at the hip so long, they're symbiotic. Except, no, they didn't. Because they both assumed, rather than ever actually talking and getting on the same page. And note,

Seeing this intoxicated Ikusaba-san continue to talk like that, repelled me. I knew that she definitely didn‘t have normal feelings for Junko Enoshima, but that sort of thing shouldn‘t have anything to do with me.

It was incest in 2011. Before SDR2 and IF released. It was always incest. DR3 just was going "now shut the fuck up, we've visually confirmed it for you".

So yeah, Despaircest was mutual love of equal intensity ruined by them both being arrogant dipshits who failed to get on the same page because they wouldn't just have a goddamn conversation about it because they both assumed that they would gain nothing from it because they totally already understood each other so goddamn well. It was mutual, and Junko actually really did love Mukuro just as much as Mukuro loved Junko. It turned tragic from a lack of communication.

Nightmare (Komahina Oneshot)

Nagito Komeada x Hajime Hinata

Warnings: Blood and death

Hajime ran out of the restaurant, trying to find the others. After receiving a worrying message from Nagito, he quickly bolted to the restaurant, to find no one. He didn't see anyone on his way to the beach either.

But right when he turned to enter the beach, he froze.

Fuyuhiko. Sonia. Akane. Kazuichi.

Their bloody bodies lay motionless on the beach. But before he could do anything, he heard small wimpers of pain. Then, he noticed Nagito standing there.

He was gripping Mikan by the back of her neck, and held a knife in his other hand. His once warm gray-green eyes were now swirling, and wide with insanity. Nagito always had a strong obsession with hope, but these were not eyes of hope. They were eyes of despair.

Nagito plunged the knife into Mikan's neck, blood splattering all over the sand, dyeing it red. Mikan's watering eyes, filled with fear, turned dull and lifeless. Nagito let her body drop to the ground. He held a twisted grin on his face. He was clearly proud of himself for his... accomplishments.

He turned his body to face Mikan.

"I am very sorry, Mikan. Will you please... Forgive me?"

The tone of his voice made Hajime flinch, and Nagito let out a twisted, maniacal laugh. All of Hajime's uneasiness suddenly transformed into fear.

Forcing himself to move, Hajime took three small steps forward. Taking a better look at his boyfriend, his hoodie was covered in blood, and had bloody smears on his face. From the looks of the bodies and the bloodstains, they were recent.

Nagito immediately turned his body to face him.

"How nice of you to join us, Hajime! Everyone was waiting for you..."

"You-You did this, didn't you?" Hajime struggled to speak. Nagito smirked.

"What a smart man you are. Of course it was me. They were getting in my way, so I had them removed..."

Hajime looked at Mikan's lifeless body.

"But-But why Mikan?! What did she ever do to you?? Don't you know that she did her best to help you when you had Liar's Disease?!" Nagito chuckled.

"Of course. But that was before Mikan was getting close to you. A little..."

Nagito stepped towards Hajime until his face was level with his.

"...too close for my liking."

Nagito pointed a knife at Hajime's neck when he spoke.

"Are... Are you going to kill me...?"

Nagito was grinning again, as he traced a line from Hajime's neck down his neck to his shoulder with his finger. With his left hand, he gently ran the side of the knife's blade down Hajime's side, his grin widening when he felt Hajime shiver. The blood from the knife made a trail down Hajime's side.

"Now, now Hajime... I could never do that. You're my hope, after all. I did all of this for us."

Nagito cackled again, causing Hajime to flinch once more. Nagito was gone. This wasn't his friend. His boyfriend. Nagito wouldn't do anything so obscene. So... despairing.

But he did. And Hajime was trapped with him.

...Forever.

------------------------------------------

Hajime woke with a start. His chest heaved as he struggled to breathe. After taking a few moments to collect himself, Hajime took a moment to check his surroundings.

He was in his cottage, laying flat on his back in bed. He checked the clock on the bedside table. 2:30 AM.

He let out a sigh, simultaneously relieved that the nightmare wasn't real, and annoyed that he wouldn't be able to go back to sleep.

He jumped when he heard movement next to him. He turned his head to see Nagito stirring as he turned his body to face Hajime.

That's right. Nagito.

His boyfriend.

Hajime swiftly rolled onto his side to face away from him.

Even though he knew it was just a nightmare, he couldn't help but flinch when Nagito placed his hand on his arm.

He felt Nagito draw his hand back as if he had touched something hot. When he gently grazed his fingers on Hajime's arm, he tensed, but didn't reject the touch.

Nagito fully placed his hand on Hajime's hand again, and felt the boy's muscles relax, though his body was stiff.

"What's wrong, love?" Nagito asked with a sleepy tone. Hajime gulped. He couldn't even begin to imagine how Nagito would react if Hajime told him about the nightmare.

What if he really thought Hajime thought he was a murderer? He would be so offended.

"Nothing," Hajime forced out. Nagito began to gently rub his arm.

"I can see that something's wrong. I felt you tossing and turning in your sleep, and you flinched when I tried to touch you. Please tell me what's wrong," Nagito pleaded.

"It was a nightmare," Hajime finally admitted. "But I can't explain it. I don't want to offend you."

Hajime couldn't see, but he could guess that Nagito raised his eyebrows in confusion.

"Why would I be offended by a nightmare? You can't control your dreams."

Hajime supposed that was true.

He took a deep breath in, and started to explain.

"I received a message from you, saying that I wouldn't have to worry about death or despair anymore. I headed to the restaurant, but it was empty. Then I headed to the beach, and everyone was dead. And there you were in the middle, with blood on your clothes and an expression of complete despair."

Hajime felt Nagito stiffen in surprise, but the white haired boy continued to rub his arm as he waited for Hajime to continue.

"After you killed Mikan, you turned to me. You said that the others got in your way, so you removed them. You didn't kill me, though. You only killed the others so we would be alone together. Forever."

Nagito was silent for a moment. Hajime was worried that he was offended before he felt his boyfriend wrap his arm around Hajime's torso and pulled him close. Nagito pressed his stomach into Hajime's back and rested his chin on his head.

"That does sound frightening. But I can assure you that I would never kill anyone. As much as I relish the thought of being with you forever, I would never harm or kill anyone to achieve that. That would be far too despairing for me to do."

Hajime managed a smile. Of course Nagito wouldn't harm anyone. He was just too hopeful.

Nagito let out a chuckle. "Is that a smile I see?" He lightly teased. Hajime let out a chuckle of his own. "Maybe."

Nagito smiled and pressed a kiss to his head.

"Are you feeling better, love?" Nagito asked. Hajime held his hand that was wrapped around his waist. "Yeah. Thank you, Nagi."

Nagito held hin tighter. "Of course. Now, what do you say we go back to sleep?"

Hajime nodded and tried to turn his body to face his boyfriend, but Nagito wouldn't budge.

Hajime chuckled pressed up against Nagito's stomach. He supposed he would let Nagito be the big spoon. The nightmare way in the back of his mind, Nagito's warmth and his breathing, along with his heartbeat relaxed Hajime, and he could feel his eyelids growing heavier.

Nagito kissed his head once more before whispering, "Goodnight, my hope. Sweet dreams."

Tenko Chabashira and Male/Female Reader Who's Like Kayadi Sato (Danganronpa: Bunker)

Male Reader

She thought you were really annoying at first

Just how cheerful you were, the way you smiled at everyone and gave them a piece of candy

Especially when it was with her

You smiled at her and gave her a piece of candy every day, no matter how much she told you to piss off

For some reason, you seemed to be drawn to her

Even if she got pissed off every time you did it, you kept on coming back

But one day, she had enough and socked you in the face

Hard

You feel back onto the ground, and the way you looked at her with teary, fearful eyes made her felt something she had never felt toward a male

It was guilt

The way you looked scared shitless after she punched you and ran away immediately, she felt bad

But she wouldn't apologize. She couldn't

Even after that, you still came back

You still smiled at her and offered her a piece of candy

Even though you appeared shaky, and your smiles were obviously forced, you still tried to be nice

Tenko didn't even know what to do at this point

Why are you doing this to yourself?

Then she couldn't take it anymore

"What is wrong with you?! I punched you in the face, and you're still here bothering me? Do you do this with all people who've punched you in the face?"

To her complete and utter shock, you nodded

And you said something that felt like a punch to the heart

"If I give everyone a piece of candy, they'll always be nice. Even the mean people."

Then it all came together

You must've been treated like that in the past, so you figured the way to make them stop was making use of your talent

"So... People were mean to you?"

You nodded

"When I was younger, the other kids bullied me all the time. But I couldn't tell my parents because they were never home. It got a lot worse in middle school. One day, I went home, and my mom was crying, so I gave her a piece of candy. She said that if I treated everyone that way, they would leave me alone. So that's what I did."

Tenko listened in silence, feeling an overwhelming wave of guilt for ever making you feel that way

"Did it work?"

You shrugged

"It did back then. Kids love candy. My bullies became my best friends after that. Until we all stopped talking to each other, but I still kept giving candy to people. Even the mean ones."

Hearing this, Tenko felt tears in her eyes

Then she had a realization

You always wore long sweaters, and she realized something

She gestured to your sweater

"Um... Do you...?"

You picked up on what she was saying, and your expression grew solemn

"Yeah. I'm careful not to bleed, but they do leave scars. That's why I wear these."

Tenko had heard enough, and she pulled you close to her in a hug, silently crying

"I'm sorry.... I'm so sorry I was so awful to you."

You stiffened in shock, but you returned the affection

You weren't sure what it was, but you felt something in your eyes

Were they... Tears?

No, couldn't be. You never cried

But that changed as you felt the odd liquid running down your face

You felt pathetic, but Tenko tightened her hold, silently telling you that it was okay

So for the first time in years, you gave in to your emotions, and Tenko supported you all the while

After that, you went from Tenko's worst enemy to one of her favorite people ever

You made a real friend, and you didn't even need candy to do it

Tenko helped you to stand up for yourself when people were mean to you

Handing out candy was all fine and good when they were your friends, but she wants you to break your long-lasting, toxic tradition

Even though you knew it wasn't healthy, it was difficult

But with Tenko's help, you slowly managed to do it

And you helped her out, too

Tenko extended her protection of females to you, and you helped her rethink her stand on men

Even though you started off rocky, you and Tenko found a friend in each other

And maybe one day, your relationship could go farther than just friendship

Female Reader

She thought you were the sweetest thing ever

When you first approached her, she smiled widely and hugged you

She couldn't stop gushing over how adorable you were

She wanted to be your friend right off the bat, which delighted you

It wasn't even because you handed out candy, just because you were an amazing person

She basically becomes your personal bodyguard right then and there

She wants to make sure nobody takes advantage of your kindness

Sometimes people did, and she handled them accordingly

And by accordingly, I mean based on their genders-

Tenko often wondered why you always wore long sweaters, even in 90-degree weather

But she never asked

One day, she was roaming around outside the school, and she noticed you and a group of boys

Tenko was immediately on high alert, and hung out behind a tree

You were offering candy to them, like you always did

But they were laughing and saying awful things to you

One thing led to another, and one of them pushed you

Even then, you reached for your bag to pull out candy

Tenko had enough, and she was seeing red as she stomped over to them

Before one of them could land a punch on you, she knocked the boys on their asses and chased them away

Then she carefully helped you up, worriedly asking if you alright

You confirmed that you were, and that you only had a small scrape on your knee

But she still brought you to the nurse to get it looked at

When you left, Tenko still insisted on staying at your side

While you were talking a walk in the park together, she was angrily ranting about the boys

"Bunch of degenerate males... Who do they think they are, touching a girl like that?! And you were still gonna give them candy?! Why?!"

You shrugged your shoulders

"When I give people candy, they're always nice to me."

She looked at you in shock

"Not when they're bullies! Especially when they're degenerate males! You can't just give them candy while they're trying to pound your face in!"

You tilted your head

"Why not? It worked when I was younger."

Tenko immediately stopped walking and faced you with a look of pure shock

"When you were younger?" She echoed

You nodded

"Yeah. I got bullied a lot when I was younger. Especially in middle school. But my parents were never home when I got back, so I couldn't say anything. One day, I saw my mom crying, so I gave her some candy to make her feel better. It worked a little bit, and she said that if I did that with everyone, they'll leave me alone."

Tenko looked at you sadly, and she brought you a nearby bench to sit down

"So you started being all nice to people so they would be nice to you?"

You nodded

"Yeah, and it worked. My bullies became my best friends. And even when we stopped talking, I kept handing out candy, and I made more friends. People were still mean to me sometimes, but when I gave them candy, they would stop."

Tenko felt her eyes watering

Now she had an idea as to why you wore your long sweaters

"So... About your sweaters... Is it because you...?"

You nodded

"Yeah. They don't bleed, but they do scar, which is why I wear them."

Tenko couldn't take anymore, and pulled you close to her in a hug

"I'm sorry. I'm so sorry you went through that."

You stiffened, but accepted the gesture nonetheless

And it appeared that Tenko's emotional nature was contagious, because you felt your eyes watering as well

You tried to force them back, but they came pouring out

Tenko rubbed your back gently, letting you know that it was okay

And you sat together, letting out your emotions for the first time in years

After that, Tenko's protectiveness of you increased

The second someone tried to take advantage of you, she took your hand and pulled you away from them immediately

She never left your side, not once

She didn't like that you were still so kind to people, but she knew it was just who you were

She does draw the line at mean people, though

You soon became her favorite person in the whole world, and she protected you with her whole heart

It didn't take long for her to develop feelings for you

When she did, she confessed to you, and you accepted

And your relationship only grew stronger from there
