Akane, I know it wouldn't help saying that...you were brainwashed and you didn't know what you were doing nor could you stop. But...they probably know that it wasn't really you in control. At least, you wouldn't do that on normal circumstances.
Bwaaaaaahhh! *hic, hic* Bwaaaaahh!
--------------------------------
...................
It's okay. Let it all out Akane, let it alllll out...
------------------------
*hic*......*hic*....*sniff*......
------------------------------
Does it feel good? To finally let all that out? Not only your memory as a remnant, but the trauma and hardships you had to endure at such a young age?
-----------------------------
*sniff, sniff* A....A bit....?
---------------------------
Good.
Now, it is important to remember that that wasn't really you.
---------------------------
But...But it was me-
------------------------------
Not it wasn't. That was only to brainwashed monster that Junko had infected to do her bidding just as the rest of your friends.
You've told me about yourself Akane. How you did everything in your power just to ensure the safety and protection of your younger siblings. How you tried to stop Monokuma all by yourself. And how you griefed when Nekomaru was taken from you...
That is you, Akane. A kind, selfless woman who will do anything to protect her friends and family.
While it can be said that you shouldn't do that all the time, as your life is just as precious...
But those traits are what define you as...you. The real you....and I'm sure your siblings know that as well.
The road ahead may be dangerous and filled with thorns, but I believe you can be up to the task. To try and live for their stake.
---------------------------
........................*Akane wipes her face*
Yeah.....yeah I....think you're right....Thank Miss Miaya....
------------------------------
You're welcome Akane.
One Piece AU where the pirates have two factions; Peace Mains and Morgania. (Reference: Romance Dawn by Eiichiro Oda)
Peace Mains: Pirates who made a living by hunting Morgania.
Morgania: Pirates who made a living by pillaging and committing crimes.
Basically a more slice of life AU with some major lore, with Luffy looking for adventures rather than One Piece and meeting new friends along the way.
Ace and Sabo followed suit because Crocodile knows that his youngest won't be able to avoid trouble. All three aims to make a crew consisting of Peace Mains pirates.
They basically travel around for weeks and for 2 months and then they go back to their hometown. The rest of the Strawhats joined but they sometimes go do their own thing sometimes. Somehow they're always nearby when the brothers get themselves into trouble. Is it fate?
For the Shichibukai, they're made out of the strongest Peace Mains and they're the top amongst the pirates. They control a large region and prevents Morgania pirates from causing havoc. Unlike canon they don't work with the Marines and aside from nicknames from the public no one knows their true identity, the only exception being Kuma.
Crocodile: He guards Alabasta and the surrounding area. As a warlord, he is known for punishing Morgania pirates to near death as a warning. He is known as Mr. 0 by the Marines due to the number nickname given to his underlings and the Desert King due to the area he rules over. He often appear without his head during Baroque Works meetings, so not even his coworkers know how he looks like.
Dracule Mihawk: Known as the Sharp-Eyed Man and the Marine Hunter by the Marines, he is known for working alone. He takes down Marines and Morgania Pirates from the shadows, his hawk mask covering his face. He lives alone on an island until he met Zoro and Perona. He starts to leave his island more often. Used to be a normal hawk when he was hit with a Devil Fruit power that turns animal into humans.
Gecko Moria: Doesn't go by any epithet, but he is whispered amongst the Marines like an urban legend of the seas. Not much is known about him.
Kuma: Was called the Tyrant and the only one who the Marines know for sure his identity is. He never stays in one place for long, but wherever he goes the people said that a big, gentle man helps them.
Boa Hancock: Nicknamed Medusa, all who laid their eyes on her become stone, and they all forget how she looks like after turning back. Lives in Amazon Lily and send out ships to help free slaves to the outside world. Hopeless romantic. She and Jinbe are friends.
Jinbe: Known as the Knight of the Seas. He frees slaves and destroy human auction houses. Marines are not sure if he's human or something else. He went to Amazon Lily shore on weekends for tea with Hancock.
Donquixote Doflamingo: Known as the Heavenly Yaksha, he always foils Marines plans to capture Peace Mains pirates. His brother, Rosinante is still alive alongside their parents. Rosi joins the Marines and along with Sengoku resolves to make sure the Marines don't do much harm. He works at a boutique belonging to his parents when not doing pirates stuff. Law is his adopted nephew and Doffy isn't sure if the kid knows or not that he's a pirate.
Ok but… it would be extra cute if deku had a mankey
he’s got a primeape <3
The maestro without his hat. They could never make me hate you, Balan.
The first and last class of the new Hope's Peak Academy, most of which being outstanding youths that worked in the future foundation and fueled by their hatred of despair, used their talents to do everything they could to find out where the remnants of despair fled off to after their message against the world and how the remnants came to be. They got more then they bargained for, discovering the truth of how Hope's Peak, and talent in general, lead to the tragedy.
They broadcasted this information to the world, and the world ultimately decided that Hope's Peak needed to be shut down and the remnants must pay, despite everything. The class, in response, left to Jabberwock island. They were lead by the Ultimate Lucky Student and soon-to-be new Ultimate Hope, someone who was unlucky enough to meet all the remnants yet lucky enough to survive their torture. Someone driven mad by what they experienced and had trouble befriending their classmates due to every relationship they had during the tragedy ending in disaster. Someone whose body was so mutilated when they washed up on the gates of Hope's Peak academy that they now look more machine than human.
As great science is built on the shoulders of giants, and due to all the knowledge the class they found out through research and Future Foundation awareness, class 77-B couldn't stand a chance. They found a way to eradicate Komaeda's luck and Kamakura's existence. They massacred Class 77B: They were melted alive. Frozen and shattered. Maimed and trapped in a burning building. Hacked into bits. Suffocated from toxic gas as they cried for the ones they lost. The Hell Queen of Novoselic was the last person to be killed by the torturous devices she made. The Ultimate Filmmaker's broadcasting of such events let the whole world watch and cheer not in despair, but in hope over such evils being hushed away.
As for the survivors of Class 78, they ultimately survived unscathed, but not without some difficulties. For once they were on the wrong side of Hope and Despair, as they tried to halt their students discovering the truth and broadcasting it to the world. They ended up having to make a tough choice: either accept the academy they rebuilt being shut down as their upperclassmates were executed, or go down with them as traitors.
"Makoto"
If only they knew he had the power.
Inspiration? This post from @makowo and @hibiscuswolverine's reply!
Junko’s great and all but for me Hopes Peak Academy is the main antagonist of Danganronpa.
You’ve got the whole oh being part of the elite is actually really fucking stressful. And wow I wish I could do other things but my worth is entirely tied to this one thing I do.
Like we saw with Leon.
Then you’ve got them being a dick to everyone else. Like it’s one thing for them to be like oh you don’t have a talent our one school recognises as important?
I guess you’re nothing then.
But then they take it even further by creating the Reserve course. Ah yes let us give these peasants the privilege of being near us while also reminding them they’re nothing compared to us.
But also you know human experimentation.
It really hit home watching Danganronpa 3 and realising oh..any of these kids could’ve become Izuru Kamakura.
It’s just that they picked Hajime. Oh they frame it as a choice but no that kids fate was already decided the moment he was enrolled.
It would’ve been interesting if that ever got out. That Izuru Kamakura, was a Reserve Course student. That this beacon of terror was someone they all view as inherently worthless for being talentless.
Despite the fact that metric is one that only Hopes Peak uses and cares about.
I don’t blame any of the Reserve Course for wanting to burn the place down. The way they were instantly vilified the second they decided to rebel against the school.
Not only did they cover up the murder of a student but if this got out too…Yikes.
Honestly had the tragedy been less…colossal I genuinely believe Hopes Peak would be relieved by it. Sure they get some bad press but it’s one student, maybe one class.
In the grand scheme of things it changes nothing and they can all be discredited it.
Hell I can absolutely imagine a concept where Hopes Peak reveals Izuru Kamakura’s real identity and paints a narrative about this disillusioned Reserve Course student lost to jealously.
And despite the aid of the prestigious academy trying to help him, he turned into a monster. Even going so far as to bastardise our glorious founder with his name.
I can see them trying to wipe their hands clean of everything. Also I refuse to believe Jin Kirigiri was some unknowing man caught in the middle of this.
When he was the one running the place. And frankly I prefer the concept that he absolutely knew but tried to make amends with saving his remaining students.
With saving his daughter.
And being killed after refusing to give them up. Hoping that maybe just maybe he would be able to atone for the monsters he helped to create.
Junko’s also a monster that’s a fact but none of what she did would’ve happened if not for Hopes Peak.
And unfortunately only one of them got destroyed.
*pant!* *pant!* *pant!*
*Makoto is heavily outmatched by the duo of Celeste and Tsumugi, especially in the dark setting, but no matter what, he refuses to give up or run away, spurred on by the thought of causing the two of them immeasurable pain.
Erase me...Yeah, right... As if!
I'm the Ultimate Hope! Good fucking luck trying to wear me down!
GAGH!
AGH!
*Makoto gets hit in the shin with something hard and topples. He quickly rolls out of the way to avoid being shot at subsequently!
You know...the fact that you keep having to repeat that fact makes me think otherwise...You're disappointing Makoto...
Stop hiding behind my FRIENDS FACES!
*He throws a punch, but Tsumugi disappears into blackness again. Instead, his fist just collides with an invisible wall which he assumes is Celeste's dress.
Oh please...as if you have any right to call us your friends anymore...!
Grrrgh! RAAGH!
*He tries again. Same result.
Byakuya: In fact, I'm pretty sure because of what we've done...We'd all hate you Makoto...
And Mukuro would hate you too...
DON'T YOU DARE SAY HER NAME! UUGH!
*Makoto chases Tsumugi through the darkness, but gets tripped up again. He looks up to see Tsumugi learing down at him.
Ultimate Hope? Hero? Give me a break, you DROPPED US down an elevator shaft!
Yeah, well, apparently so did Uchui! And we did it for the same reason! To PROTECT THEM!
*WOOOSH!*
Since when was it up to you to decide what's best for us?
*WOOOSH!*
You're NOT special Makoto...You had ONE good moment in your life during the killing game, but what else did you do during it? You couldn't protect Sayaka, nor could you stop any of the murders! If you're really the hero you think you are, why don't you show it!?
RAAGGH!
*He once again tries to throw a punch, but Tsumugi jumps back and shifts again.
I was the BEST and most amazing the Future Foundation ever had to offer, but I gave up my life, so YOU could thrive! USELESS, PATHETIC MAKOTO got a chance to live a full life!
*WOOOSH!*
That's all we ever do, and it's why you keep us around! You protect our lives so that we may become sacrifices for yours! So that YOU can be happy!
THAT'S BULLSHIT!
*Makoto leaps up and attacks again, but this time, Tsumugi catches his fist. His punch is heavy though, and she's slightly faltered by it.
Everything I have ever done is for the express purpose of saving this world, and protecting the friends and family that I love! EVERYTHING comes from that want!
Well, you have done a MARVELOUS job, haven't you?
Ugh!
*Tsumugi throws a punch back, then starts darting between the shelves, rapidly shifting as she does.
You couldn't save me...!
*WOOSH!*
You COULDN'T stop me!
*WOOSH!*
Where were YOU when Jabberwock Island got destroyed!?
*WOOSH!*
Where were you when my friends were being kidnapped!?
*WOOSH!*
Nagito: Were you there when I attacked Kyoto and left Hajime Hinata to die!? NO!
*WOOSH!*
Did you stop Emilia Feng!? Did you even TRY to stop Kuripa Kurafto!? NO! You turned on ME! YOUR OWN SISTER!
SHUT THE FUCK UP! NONE OF THAT IS TRUE!
*Makoto, in a blind rage and panic, starts destroying the shelves around him, but this doesn't help an awful lot. Tsumugi just continues her tormenting.
despair era mikan but make her creepy
Well… this is gonna be a pickle to explain… I nominate Mahiru.
Why the hell did you single me out?!
No, we all should do it...
If anyone should tell Ibuki about what happened, it should be us, her friends.
We'll still come too, in case you need us...
I appreciate that. Let's go.
-----------------------
*Outside...*
Ibuki...?
Hi hi haaaiiiii!~
What's the happening?
You're...going to find this a little to hear, but-
Are you gonna tell Ibuki, that she and the rest of our classmates were brainwashed and became a whole bunch of terrorists and that everything on Jabberwock Island was a simulation and that I kind of died?

How the hell did you figure that out?!
Kanon told me.
