He Bounce 🥺

What ACTUALLY happened in that scene with Cid and Clive....

Laurent looking at Edamam-Edamura:

Has this been done before? Also I lived for these small moments between them, even if they aren’t confirmed.

Sasuke Uchiha is an overrated emo little twerp and Lee got fucking nerfed because Kishimoto didn’t want a true baller to win.

My initial reaction too. Truly a cursed image.

Firstly so sorry for the graphic image. I found this on the Danganronpa reddit. Also MAJOR DANGANRONPA V3 SPOILERS.

I feel like this very crudely drawn image of Kokichi’s dead crushed up corpse is the last piece I needed to fully accept his death.

Not being able to see the state of the body during the investigation, created a barrier for me to fully understand Kokichi’s exit out of the main story. It just felt like he “left” rather than died.

Additionally, none of the characters saw the dead of the body and that definitely had an impact on their attitude towards him. His death was brushed off because they also never got to see his dead body. Maki didn’t investigate the body and such. There was no opportunity to be traumatized but ample to refuel their hatred towards him.

This is why his absence during the class trial wasn’t discussed to its extent such as with other characters.

I’m no Kokichi Stan but I did warm up to his character pre-chapter 4. I always felt that his death and trial were lackluster and lacked needed impact. Personally, I thought the trial wasn’t very good but seeing a depiction of the body has changed my opinion on the trial.

Kaito also never see Kokichi afterwards because he never lifted the press after it crushed him. Kaito doesn’t really have to carry the weight of the plan and his actions, because he never gets to see the honest result of them. Therefore, he was able to focus on the plan to foul Monokuma and strict to the script that a dead boy wrote.

Danganronpa V3 had many victims where the remaining cast had a short mourning period for (Rantaro, Ryoma and Miu). Each student had different circumstances where the cast couldn’t comment too much on their dead peer. Rantaro distanced himself from others, and no one was particular close to Ryoma or Miu.

However, Kokichi was one where almost no one mourned his death.

It’s interesting for sure. I think more people mourned the losses of the culprits more than the victims.

I really really really want a 90s/2000s coming of age show like Boy Meets World or Malcolm in the Middle but canonically gay. Like I’m talking 90s cameras, graphics, sound equipment for the full effect. I’m talking full-on sexuality crisis for the main character in the same episode style as all the others, where there is a clear setup and story line and it becomes more of a background thing later on and just becomes so normal for the story and the characters that it’s like it was always there, but can be brought back into the forefront for other episode arcs. And then of course you can put in a romance arc… ;)

handsome !

I feel like because the four main boys were so overpowered in the first game, that the writers thought it would be better to make them weak allies so players can use the side character allies. All the best superhero allies are underused or side characters in the show. Maybe because a complaint for the first game was that players couldn't have Wendy or Clyde as their ally? 

I’m replaying stick of truth to get the trophies in the game. I think I prefer Cartman’s abilities as the grand wizard rather than him as the coon in fractured but whole. His powers do more damage in stick of truth even if he dies quickly but as the coon he just sucks but I think that’s how it’s supposed to be because he’s not meant to be a good hero.

But Sasuke is too damaged to be a good partner. Have you seen Boruto? In canon, he’s not great. He’s not the angry child he was as a teenager but it seems his character development leaned into being less angry than being a better friend or partner. He still does the bare minimum and gets rewarded for it. The canon explanation for his actions are work-related but the writers can’t write him to be more involved because it doesn’t align with his character. Yes there are my opinions but I take them from the canon and assess it on my own. If you keep up with Boruto, you know that I literally reference the plot points without actually citing and referencing them. At the end of the day, it seems you only have an issue with the one sentence that I wrote “damaged and can never recover”. I don’t know what to say, you gotta read the next sentence and more. I said it’s complicated and I never directly said he’s a bad partner, he’s just not a good one because people want more from him that he can’t give due to writing issues. Naruto and Sakura (from my understanding) want much more in a partner than what Sasuke can provide. He’s not doing it purposely to hurt them, he just wants to be alone but as a father and husband he can’t. That’s not a bad thing because it’s better for him in the end.

Regarding trauma, I don’t know what to say - I know enough not to engage too much on that topic here. I’m talking about a fictional character who has deep trauma. He’s not a real person so what you stated previously doesn’t really matter to me or apply. Me making that comment doesn’t mean it’s a reflection on how I view people with real pain. He has a fictional past and issues. The writers can absolutely retcon his entire backstory by tomorrow. What I said about his character doesn’t exactly apply to real people. He is a fictional character in a story with a beginning and end. Within that space, he’s not a great partner or friend. The canon reasonings for enough positive development on that area seems to be from his backstory. It just goes against his character I guess. It sounds like you relate a lot to Sasuke’s trauma and feel personally attacked by my comment. That’s my only comment on your personal being.

I don’t think I said anything particularly awful, if anything I reiterated the canon material with my own spin on the wording. I also didn’t say I felt attacked, I just said you were aggressive accusing me of being a bad person. We will agree to disagree there and the world keeps moving. I still do think you need to chill. You’re not gonna survive the real world if you are losing it after a comment like that about Naruto x Sasuke.

I think Boruto era Naruto x Sasuke shippers need to understand that Sasuke won’t be a better partner if he’s with Naruto. It doesnt matter if he secretly elopes with Naruto, he won’t be staying. He has commitment issues and literally can’t stay in one place for too long. I know he loves his brother still but his brother is the sole reason why he’s an incredibly damaged individual who literally will never recover from his trauma. I get that it’s super complicated but it’s one of those things that are indescribable. His brother fucked him over when he didn’t need to (the 518400 times thing) that he fundamentally changed his brain chemistry.

Additionally, I feel like he can’t handle the responsibility of his personal life. He’s the kinda guy who will leave people on read or delivered for months you know? It’s the emotional baggage and genuinely wanting solitude even though he knows it’s not the best path for him. It’s almost like a bad habit, constantly wanting to be alone even though what gets you through the day is knowing you have loved ones waiting for you at home.

Romance does not factor into his character, he’s barely involved with his family because his trauma and baggage goes beyond that.

In canon, it’s because of his job and his past actions that make him feel unwelcome in the village sure. But why should he care about people he doesn’t know? The people he knows want him back more often. He just doesn’t want to for his atonement. He does prioritize Naruto over his family but he still sees the guy like every few years for half an hour before he teleports away again. He doesn’t even hang out with him when he’s back.

What I’m trying to say is that he would 100% treat Naruto the same way he treats Sakura as a romantic partner. Which is find excuses to not hang out and immediately leave after work is done.

People write fanfics about them owning an apartment or whatever, divorcing their partners to be with eachother, etc. yes it’s fanfic lol people can do whatever they want but I would love to read a fic that explores what I’m talking about here.

There are wayyy too many middle aged white men on my xiaohongshu feed.

I’ve tried to block people and mark videos as uninterested but my feed will not go back to cute makeup tutorials 😭

I need to find a way to block TikTok refugee tag it’s super annoying.

I used xiaohongshu like Pinterest and now it’s just not that anymore.
