Danganronpa rant #4

This analysis is actually gonna be on a ship! It's Celeste x Byakuya and Money Money Money by Abba! With that out of the way let's get into the analysis!

The first stanza “I work all night, I work all day, To pay the bills I have to pay, Ain't it sad? And still there never seems to be, A single penny left for me, That's too bad” is a line that represents Celeste. It being a reference to that fact that no matter how lucky Celeste is with gambling she’ll never have enough money to achieve her dreams. The following lines (‘In my dreams I have a plan, If I got me a wealthy man, I wouldn't have to work at all, I'd fool around and have a ball”) is a line to me that represents Celeste being in love with Byakuya and how he has all she could ever want.

The chorus, “Money, money, money, Must be funny, In the rich man's world, Money, money, money, Always sunny, In the rich man's world” to me isn’t so much a line to dissect to describe the relation between Celeste and Byakuya but is instead a line that represents how Celeste would behave around Byakuya (ex. The line that was mentioned could be a Celeste lovingly mocking Byakuya). The following line/second half of the chorus represents Celeste's’ dream and how with Byakuya's help she could achieve that.

The second verse, “A man like that is hard to find, But I can't get him off my mind, Ain't it sad? And if he happens to be free, I bet he wouldn't fancy me, That's too bad” is a line that shows how Celeste believes that Byakuya wouldn’t have an interest in her. The first half of the line (“A man like that is hard to find, But I can't get him off my mind, Ain't it sad?”) showcases how Byakuya is always on Celeste's mind.

The final line (that isn’t the chorus repeated) “So I must leave, I'll have to go, To Las Vegas or Monaco, And win a fortune in a game, My life will never be the same” is a line that represents again, how Celeste gambles for her fortune and that she would rather choose to continue gamboling and leave her feelings behind then deal with them.

who's laughing now?

pairing: byakuya togami x gn!reader

summary: byakuya was an arrogant boy when you first met him, but an incident changes him, as he learns what loss means...

a/n: i saw some art with that quote on pinterest, but without credit. if anyone knows the artist or their tumblr, let me know in the comments so i can link to their art!

“one day, you'll lose something not even your money can replace. and when that day comes, i'll be the one laughing!”

for some reason, those words you said to byakuya a while ago came back to him at this very moment. he had laughed at you back then, thinking you were just another person jealous of his achievements and wealth. and yet, he truly had no idea what it was like to lose something money couldn't replace. until he lost you. 

your lifeless body was laying in his arms, as byakuya pulled you up from the cold grounds of hope's peak academy. he knew that anyone could die in this killing game and you weren't the first to be killed. but only when it was you who was the victim did the reality of it all begin to set in. 

he'd never get to see you smile again. he won't hear you lecture him again and he won't be able to roll his eyes at you. but worst of all, he won't be able to tell you that he finally understood what you meant back then. and you'll never be able to laugh at him, like you promised…
