HBD Kokichi Ouma!! Here's The Full Version Of The Piece I Made For The Zine Your Hand In Mine ✨

hey dont unfollow me hey don't do it stop that, anyway, I'm making a fanganronpa, butttttttttt I need 4 more characters. oopsie. roles haven't been decided for all the characters yet, so I'm open to pretty much anythinggggg as long as it's not like a super op character or whatever, i don't care, haha.

these are the designs for like 3 out of the 12 characters I currently have drawnnnn it's just me working on this, but I got it.

I'd do all the art and stuff, you'd get credit for the design and concept and stuff, idk.

designs will most likely be a case by case situation though. so eugrj.

and just in general, I already got an Ultimate ??? (or no Ultimate, etc), so not having an ultimate isn't possible. Sorry, guys

hey also ignore all the info on those character sheets, that was me at like 1 in the morning so it's not real

anyway, yeah. if you wanna be in it or whatever, I don't really care

I think about this

MAKOTOOOOOOOOOOOO . DO YOU UDNDERSTAMD THAT ONLY A FRESH CORPSE CAN EVER TRULY BECOME A SYMBOL OF TRUE, PURE, ULTIMATE HOPE. MAKOTOOOOOO. MAKOTOOOOO IT ISNT DYING FOR OUR SINS ITS SUICIDE. MAKOTO NAEGI DO YOU UNDERSTAND THAT YOU ARE NOT ALONE IN YOUR PAIN. DO YOU UNDERSTAND THAT THERE IS A WAY OUT AND THOSE WHO, TOO, ATTEMPTED TO LIVE UP TO THE TITLE OF ULTIMATE HOPE WERE ABLE TO FIGHT THEIR WAY OUT OF IT IN THE FACE OF DEATH. MAKOTO DO YOU UNDERSTAND THAT YOU ARE HOLDING THE KEY. YOUR KEY IS YOUR HUMANITY. YOU MUST ALLOW YOURSELF TO GRIEVE TO LOVE TO LAUGHTO CRY OTHERWISE YOUR OBSESSION WITH YOUR ULTIMATE HOPE STATUS WILL DRIVE YOU TO A SLOW AND PAINFULDEATJ YOU WILL BECOME THE LOBOTOMY AND YOU WILL BECOME THE POISON GAS IF YOU ALLOW YOURSELF TO STAY IN TJISCAGE

hey now that I've already made a text post talking about Mr. panta I can go on this mid length rant about how kokichi could have absolutely ended the game without killing himself in the process

so like let's all think back to the first tiral okay. Rantaro is dead and "Kaede" killed him right.

in the final trial it's revealed that ahhh kaede didn't kill rantaro because.... tsumugi killed rantaro! oh my god she's right! what !?

and the only reason tsumugi HAD to kill rantaro and frame kaede, was because the show had to go on.

they only get one take for each season.

so. let's think about this.

Tsumugi made sure that not everyone could die at any given moment. If she didn't, the show would be in some trouble etc etc (you can actually see this happening in the final trial where the audience starts to get angry at shuichi and the others for not participating).

so how could you end the game with this knowledge?

well, you see in the first trial that pretty much no matter if you're really the blackened or not, you get executed as long as you have the most votes.

with this knowledge, all you would have to do is manage to have everyone vote tsumugi in a trial. that's it. the game would have no choice but to stop-

Tsumugi can't let herself be killed because she's the only one who can run the game. The blackened can't be executed instead because that would reveal everything. The group punishment can't happen because the season would end just like that.

unless, of course, you consider that the blackened would just be sent to the next danganronpa season like rantaro was, but I'm not sure what would happen to tsumugi than. I guess she'd go, too? i dunno, just some brainstorming.

who knows, though. maybe rantaro was a previous blackened and escaped that way.

So like what's up

I actually know nothing about nagito and this is the first time I've ever drawn him so that's cool I think

There's a fine line between genius and insane, you know.

I don't really like this drawing too much sorry chat

possible flash warning under the cut (time-lapse, full drawing, and shitpost doodle)

Idk

now to John, with the weather:

i know you won't translate "sense during speech" to norwegian........

lmao just going through a list of attention grabbing titles and "Tom Cruise" made me giggle

So I had a question about writing. How do you usually create characters and give them their personalities? Since whenever a good scenario comes to my mind and I sit down to write, I almost immediately give up because I either create boring characters, or I just can't create any. So do you have any advice you want to give on this?

So it sounds to me like the problem might be the way you’re approaching storytelling - If you’re thinking of scenarios and then trying to come up with characters to plug into them, that implies to me that your scenarios are likely things that are *happening to* those characters instead of things that the characters are *trying to do*.

Characters who are “interesting” usually have some amount of agency in their lives - something they’re pursuing as compelling obstacles block the way. So if a story is just things happening to a character and them reacting… it makes them feel passive, and not super “interesting.”

So what I would do, is instead of thinking of scenarios first, think of the *characters* first and if they’re interesting the stories will come naturally. One of my favorites is Indiana Jones: Stuffy archeology professor with a secret double life as a globe-trotting treasure hunter. That’s a one sentence description that immediately conjures all sorts of exciting ideas.

If you want to break down why that one works so well, it’s because he’s relatable (stuffy professor; everyone’s had one of those) with an interesting twist (secret double life; always cool) and built-in story generator (globe-trotting treasure hunter; traveling the world! Finding treasure!)

I don’t know if anyone else uses that term “story generator” or if that’s a dumb one I made up - I use it to describe the quality of a character or world that, with only a few words, is SO compelling literally anyone could start to imagine stories with it. “Boarding school for wizards”, “amnesiac war robot from Mars”, “Tom Cruise”, “secret hotel for assassins”, “summer camp for psychic secret agents”, “demon who rebels against his destiny to save the world”… these are all great examples of story generators.

Hope something in there was useful!

Do you want to see the oats I have in my pocket? Let me show you-

Whomp whomp idk how to draw shuichi take the L

HEAVILY inspired by this scene in Cucumber Quest. Originally, I was going to do the actual quote, but figured it didn't make sense, so I changed it while keeping the inspiration present

Pages from the comic under the cut.

I love cucumber quest everyone go read it rn istg
