Experience Tumblr Like Never Before
Since I feel bad about the Nagito and Kokichi frenimies fic being so short, I’ll post a piece that I wrote from an old rp with a friend.
Basically it is a lot of the characters from all games (including Ultra Despair Girls) and in this piece they are being transported from one school to somewhere else. Coincidentally, Nagito and Kokichi did NOT get along at all in the RP but they both helped the MC/Reader figure things out for the trials.
Please beware that this fic mentions Blood, Scars and Kidnapping, along with the other possibly triggering topics from Danganronpa.
I hope you enjoy :)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
You woke up to see the inside of a small bus. Nagito was leaning against the window in the seat to the right of you, across the aisle, watching the surroundings. An unconscious Kokichi was in the seat right next to you on the left. There were bars separating the Monokuma driver and you three; the type you'd see in a cop car. Nagito wasn't wearing his jacket as usual, and you quickly noticed it was placed over your shoulders with your arms out of the sleeves. He didn't seem to be cold, but it was pretty chilly so you felt bad that he let you wear it instead of him. It was dark and rainy outside; definitely not the weather to go without a coat.
You figured that Nagito had probably been awake for a while, seeing as he was calm about the situation; acting as if this was just a normal drive somewhere. He almost looked like he was bored. He had his arm on the bottom of the window and was leaning his head against it. You don’t remember getting onto a bus. The last thing you remember was standing in the hallway of the 5th floor of Hope's Peak Academy. ‘They must have knocked us out’, you figured.
You looked up through the front window to see another bus in front, similar to the one you were in right now. Looking behind you through the back window, you saw a few more buses trailing behind. ‘Maybe they’re be relocating us for some reason, though why they decided to split us up, I'm not sure.’
When you turned to look through the back window, you felt a sharp pain in your stomach. You dismissed it as hunger pangs, as you knew you hadn't eaten much today.
You placed your arms over your stomach and it seemed to help it feel a little better. At that point, Nagito noticed you were awake, but didn't say anything. You decided to break the monotonous silence, aside from the rain pattering and the engine rumbling through the bus.
"Thanks.. For the jacket, I mean." You said.
He picked his head up and turned to you.
"Of course. I assumed you would be cold, and someone like you should be warmer than someone filthy like me." He smiled a little, as if he hadn't just insulted himself. It's almost as if he didn't realize he was being self-deprecating.
Deciding to ignore the last remark, you just shook your head and continued.
"If you get cold let me know, though, so I can return it to you, okay?"
"...Alright." It seemed like he wanted to decline, but decided against it. He just put his arm back on the side and leaned against it again.
You looked out the window and watched the road stretch on. Aside from the other buses, there were no cars on the road. You wondered why they left the windows uncovered. ‘You'd think they would cover them or even keep us knocked out long enough to get to wherever we were going.’
After who-knows-how-long, Kokichi started rustling. He sat up groggily and looked around confused, as you had done not long ago. After waking up more and taking in his surroundings he turned to look at the two of you.
"Why are you wearing his jacket? Are you two dating now or something?" He said, looking disgusted; however he was obviously joking.
"Well good morning, sunshine. Why were your legs on my shins? Does that make us a couple?" You shot back, also joking.
He looked a little shocked, but still chuckled and quickly moved his legs.
"Soo... Where are we?" He said, looking out the window, though there was nothing that could be used to your advantage to figure out where you were.
"Your guess is as good as mine. Nagito's been awake the longest, since I woke up not long before you did." You shrugged and turned to Nagito.
After hearing his name, Nagito turned to face you and nodded,
"That's true, but I haven't seen a single sign or building since waking up. So we still have nothing." He sighed and slouched.
You could tell he didn't want to say anything if he didn't need to. Seeing as they both disliked each other, he probably didn't want to aggravate Kokichi or end up upsetting himself.
Kokichi huffed and went to cross his arms but winced and put his left arm back down. "Ow.." He muttered
"What’s the matter?" You asked.
Even Nagito was focused on the situation. You both waited as you watched Kokichi try to shake off the pain.
"That really hurt. It felt like I've been stabbed in my arm." He was looking at his arm in the sleeve as much as he could without moving it around.
"You might need to pull up your sleeve. There might be something underneath." You said sitting forward a little.
"Yeah but.. It's near my shoulder at the back, so even if I could pull up my sleeve that high- which I don't think I can- I won't be able to check it." Kokichi said, slouching a little at the realization that he'd need one of you to check it for him. "I'm sure I'm fine though." He said, but that was clearly a lie.
"That obviously hurt. I can check it for you." You sat up further and started leaning towards him, putting your hand closer to his arm to take a look.
He slapped your hand away with his uninjured hand.
"No. You don't need to take my shirt off for me. I’m fine." He said, turning away from you, and he seemed to be in a sour mood. He leaned up against the window, probably to use the cold window like an ice-pack, though he looked pained when his arm came in contact with the glass.
"Well I'll gladly switch places with Nagito so he can check for you, if you’d prefer that." You sat back the way you were a minute ago.
Your stomach stung from moving, but you didn't want to worry them with that fact, and you hadn't noticed it as much because were worried about Kokichi's arm.
Nagito sighed.
"Sorry, but I don't think I'll be able to swap places with you." He gestured to his legs, "It seems like they’ve sliced my legs. Right above the knee. I hadn't noticed any blood- if there was any- because of how dark my pants are but when I went to put my jacket on you, I couldn't properly stand to do so. I didn't mention it because I assumed my luck made me get hurt while we were unconscious. That doesn't seem to be the case, however..." He continued.
"So, do you think they harmed us all so we wouldn't, or rather, couldn't fight back?" You said. No wonder your stomach hurt, it was probably caused by whoever's working with Monokuma.
"Well, that makes sense. But you don't seem to be in pain. So you could still do something, right?" Kokichi said to you, now holding his, assumed, injury with his right hand.
"..." You paused before answering. You weren’t totally sure if your stomach was damaged in some way, or if it was just hurting, but you didn’t feel comfortable pulling up your shirt to check right now.
"From what I saw when you first woke up, when you went to turn around to look out the window, you winced in pain as well. And since you had your arms over your stomach for a while, I'm assuming that's where they hurt you too? If that is the case, anyway." Nagito piped in. You didn't realize he saw that, but it seems he's a lot more observant than you’d thought.
"Yeah, that sounds about right. But I don't know if that's from hunger or if that's from the Monokumas." You said.
"So why don't you check? It's somewhere that you could check easily, so you won't need help." Kokichi said, clearly getting annoyed.
"Yeah, but I can't just go pulling my shirt up to check. It’s just uncomfortable to do that right now.." You said, slouching a little.
Kokichi sighed, shook his head slightly, turned more towards the window, and kept his gaze outside. You could tell he was irritated, not because he had to look away, but probably because of the situation you were in.
Nagito also turned his body towards the window, leaned his arm against it and rested his head in his hand. He even went the extra mile to close his eyes, though you weren't sure if that’s out of respect for the situation, or if he was just tired.
You took your left hand and held both sides of Nagito’s jacket closed in front of you as extra covering, and lifted your shirt underneath. As you’d expected, you had a clean slice on your stomach. Though for some reason it wasn’t bleeding, nor did it look all that fresh. It looked more like you’d been cut a few days prior and it was just starting to heal. You were upset about the fact that they went out of their way to hurt the three of you, but at the same time, it intrigued you as to how it could look so healed when you couldn’t have been asleep for more than a few hours.
You lowered your shirt and let go of Nagito’s jacket.
Kokichi hadn’t, and couldn’t, check his wound and Nagito probably couldn’t check his either, which was why you’d assumed the reason you hadn’t seen blood was because Nagito and you both wore dark clothes near the wounds and from the angle of Kokichi’s wound, you figured you wouldn’t have been able to see blood even if there was any.
Even though you had finished checking, the boys stayed looking out the window in silence. You were sure that you reaction, or lack thereof, proved the theory true, giving them no reason to ask whether or not you were right.
You thought about also sitting in silence, but the fact that there was no blood on your stomach at all was something that should probably be mentioned, especially since you needed to work together. You leaned forward.
“Hey! How long were we asleep for?” You yelled to the Monokuma driver, though there was no response. You hadn’t really expected for there to be one.
The boys both turned and looked at you; Kokichi, again, looked confused and irritated. Nagito just looked tired.
“There, uh.. Wasn’t any blood. I just thought it was odd, if we were only asleep for a few hours, there’d be blood, right? At least dried blood, right? It was completely clean, and didn’t look that fresh..” You said, sitting back again.
Kokichi just looked more stunned but Nagito seemed to be thinking about the implications of what you’d just said.
“Are you saying that we’ve been asleep for longer than a day, at least..?”
“Seems like it..” You said, sighing.
Nagito just shook his head at the thought. He wasn’t disagreeing with you; it was more of a disappointment in the thought of the Monokumas and their actions.
Author’s Notes: I’m so sorry this request took so long, @manacat
I wasn’t sure where to go with this because I’ve had a few ideas for it but they all were very unrelated to one another. I might make another part to this in the future :)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
You sat at your desk, writing a few final touches to your poster. A playlist- made up of many different genres of music by both of your guests- was playing through the speakers on your computer. Bickering behind you were your best friends who, at the moment, felt more like children you were babysitting.
"You know, you'd think that with the type of money you have, you'd buy a hairbrush," Kokichi said, tugging his fingers through Nagito's hair.
"Oh? I guess I hadn't thought about it." Nagito said, smiling, though wincing at every tug.
You turned to the two, who decided that your room would be the best place to have a sleepover. Though you originally invited them over to help work on the project.
You can't blame Nagito all that much, he really did help with a lot of the information for the presentation. As for Kokichi...
"Hey! HEY! What if we used a razor and I could shave it all? I wonder what you would look like with a shiny bald head?" Kokichi shouted, excitedly.
"Wouldn't that be a GREAT idea Y/N??" Kokichi shouted to you.
"I actually prefer the fluffy cloud hair... But you really should brush it, Nagito." You said, putting the eraser of your pencil against your lip.
"My head is actually quite sensitive, but I guess I could brush it."
“It’s only sensitive because you have so much hair. I can help fix that for you!” Kokichi said, twirling a strand of hair in his fingers.
“No thanks. I think I’ll stick with the sensitive head.” Nagito said, defensively.
With nothing else to add, the boys fell relatively silent.
"All done." You said, leaning back in your chair and stretching.
"Nice work. I can proofread it and make any edits tomorrow." Nagito said, applauding your efforts.
"Sweet! Now we can play games riiiight?" Kokichi said, bouncing to his feet.
"I could go for a game or two." You said, looking to Nagito for his answer.
"It couldn't hurt. Of course, I happen to be very unlucky so I shouldn't be much of a concern in terms of winning."
"Blah blah blah, unlucky this, lucky that. We get it, you're bad at games," Kokichi said, lightheartedly mocking Nagito, using his hand as a fake mouth, "You don't gotta make things up just to feel better about it!"
Kokichi smiled a big toothy grin, to show he meant no harm.
"Well, don't cry if I happen to win then." Nagito said, mimicking Kokichi's smile.
"Yeah, yeah, less smack talk and more playing, yeah?" You said, setting up the game.
Within 5 minutes, Nagito had won easily. Within ten, Kokichi took the lead and smack-talked his way through every round. Within twenty minutes, you had racked up ten times the amount of wins as theirs combined.
And for once in your life, you actually saw them working together, even if to try to beat you.
"So? should we take a little break before another round?" You asked, placing the controller down.
"Sure, but only so Nagito and I can come up with a strategy to beat you. You must be cheating so we gotta think up a cheat we can use," Kokichi crossed his arms.
"We won't really cheat," Nagito piped in, defensively. "You're just very lucky in this game!"
"I don't think luck has anything to do with this game.." You said, shaking your head.
---------------
After your snack break, you started getting tired, and you could tell the others were too. You started getting blankets and pillows for the three of you and placed them on the floor.
After everyone was settled into their makeshift beds, and the lights were out, you started dozing off.
"Hey. Psst." You heard Kokichi whisper.
"What is it?" Nagito whispered back.
There was no response from Kokichi, other than a giggle.
"Hey. Pssssssstt." You heard again, a few minutes later.
This time Nagito didn't respond.
Kokichi sat up, and looked at Nagito. He was asleep already.
"Well, Y/N, you know what this means. The first to fall asleep at a sleepover gets vandalized!" He whisper-shouted.
"No, go to sleep. We have school tomorrow and I don't want to be late washing the marker off his face."
"No fun... Better hope you don't fall asleep before me." He jokingly threatened.
Author’s note: Yes this is partially based off a real event, no I do not want to talk about it. (It’s a little funny)
Please enjoy!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Press it! Press it!!" Kokichi shouted over your shoulder.
“Are we done? I don’t want to screw it up and press it too early” You exclaimed.
"If you don't press it now, who knows what'll happen! Push! The! button!" He cried out, with comically large tears streaming down his face.
"If I push it now, we may not have done everything right!" You yelled back, hands shaking.
"It's now or never, S/o, I'll never forgive you if you don't press it in time." He stated grimly.
You quickly re-read everything on the screen in front of you, tapped a few keys on your phone keyboard, and pressed the button. Immediately, the screen went black. You and Kokichi were both silent. The room's atmosphere had been totally different mere moments ago. Now, instead of shouting and anxiety, it was silent and just tense. You looked up at the clock every few minutes.
Tick, tock. Tick, tock.
Time crept by, slower than ever before, almost convincing you that it wasn’t moving at all. You’ve never seen Kokichi this serious.
You two made small conversation here and there just to fill the time, though it didn't help much.
At one point, you even went outside to wait.
It was rainy, chilly, and dark.
The rain danced on your coat, before falling to the concrete beneath you.
But as soon as you heard Kokichi telling you to come back inside, as he was getting cold from the open door; you went back inside to wait.
Right when you both started to give up hope, there was a knock at the door. You stood to answer it, but your boyfriend was faster; getting to the door and throwing it open.
"Thanks, we almost starved to death!" He exclaimed to the poor GrubHub driver.
"Yeah, sorry about that.. Enjoy your McDonald's.." The driver said before turning to head back to his car. Kokichi didn't bother to tip, he just closed the door and got to work making sure everything was there.
"Oh my God, S/O. They forgot the most important part" He wailed.
"What? What did they forget?" After waiting a long 20 minutes, you didn’t want to deal with reordering whatever they missed; And your phone was dead, so you’d have to wait for it to charge to do so.
"The seventeen pepper packets I added!!" He wailed; gently, but dramatically, tossing the bag on the counter.
Though that wasn’t a main part of the order, Kokichi was actually upset about it being forgotten. So much so, that you almost felt like driving to McDonalds to ask for pepper packets, just to appease him.
McDonalds had already closed by the time you decided to do so, however.
It was a sad day that day.
Auhh another drawing from my drawing book on WP, it's kokichi

WHAT THE HELL WHY IS THIS SO FUNNY FOR SOME REASON
i haven't been able to stop quoting this for a month
I'm not even exaggerating
Whenever people draw Kokichi as the Phantom Theif, they always draw him dressed like Mephisto Pheles from Blue Exorcist
Whenever people draw Kokichi as the Phantom Theif, they always draw him dressed like Mephisto Pheles from Blue Exorcist
Just some digital art most of these took me hours to do , I think I'll post all the timestamps that I did for all of them
*Sees cool headcannon* *Looks around for witnesses*
*Snatches it* *Rums off with it*
he might've lied but for me it's canon. he has no sense of taste
So spoilers for DRV3 under the cut AJWJDKDK
Why is it that when people make pregame content they forget about how they acted in the prologue? Like obviously if you wanna write them like that go ahead but it confuses me on how that’s the MAJORITY. I think it stems from the audition tapes at the end of the game but that’s always seemed strange to me.
Like I’ve seen most people write pregame Kaito as an absolute dick who would beat up people regularly (basically a bully), but we don’t really see that in the prologue. In the prologue, we don’t get much sure, but from what we do see, he’s not acting brash or rude at all. If I remember right, he even sounds worried (or is at the very least still panicked about the situation) when he questions if Kaede and Shuichi were chased by “that monster” (exisals). Sure, we don’t really know his thoughts for that line but you don’t really say that if you care for nobody but yourself (in my opinion at least).
(I REMEMBERED RIGHT LETS GOOO)
This isn’t even mentioning Kokichi, who acts so different from fanon pregame like what. Pregame Kokichi is usually characterized as a whiny teen who can’t handle confrontation and is an extreme introvert. But one of his few lines in the prologue is him volunteering to go back out (where they all just ran for their lives) to see what’s happening before getting shut down for his safety. And he doesn’t say it scared either, he says it pretty calmly (not saying he’s calm but he’s clearly not panicking nearly as bad as people portray him).
(I know his name (and Kaito’s earlier) is question marks but it is his voice when he says it please believe me lol)
Honestly, it kinda bums me out that not a lot of people take the prologue into account! Sure, Kaito’s audition tape makes him look like a violence hungry jerk; however, it wouldn’t surprise me if he (and everyone else) was just exaggerating to try and get picked. If you liked a show, and you want to be in it, you wouldn’t say “yeah I find this show cool, killing looks okay on screen but I think it could be fun.” You wouldn’t get picked (or at least have a lower possibility). They probably acted more like what they thought Team Danganronpa would want for their show.
Anyways, sorry for how long that was (especially considering I don’t make posts like this ever???) but I was replaying V3 earlier and it just occurred to me. Like even Kaede is meaner than Kaito in the prologue (she tells Shuichi to shut up when he starts panicking lmao (she apologizes later tho)). That’s not even mentioning Shuichi but this is already long and probably full of punctuation errors lol. Sorry if it got incoherent at all. I’m very tired.
TL;DR Fanon pregame DRV3 doesn’t usually take into account how the character acted in the prologue and it bothers me.
(Again, if you like to characterize them that way, that’s fine. Everyone has headcanons and such. I’m just expressing some of my thoughts :D)
What's with the guys who are assholes in media are always purple, smile almost 24/7 and are associated with circuses🧍♀️
—"The Lamb To The Slaughter" by Ronald Dahl
What if Kokichi loved Maki but Maki still loved Kaito
I'll never be outdone! Cause I'm the oldest son!
The brothers ever guys!!(This isn't ship art)
HIM BLUSHING AND COMPLIMENTING HER AAWHWHWHWHWHWHWHHHH
They own my heart oh my GOD
"You're so close❤️"
KOKICHI?? HELLO??
What's with the insane ass romantic tension in literally every fucking rendition they're in together whaaaat🤭🤭
So I've noticed that people seem to really misunderstand Maki's dynamic with Kokichi and Korekiyo(separately)...And if anything, People get them confused with each other
The fanon portrayal of Maki and Kokichi's dynamic is that they both hate each other, Kokichi jumps at every chance he has to antagonize her and she hates him enough to jump at any chance to hurt or kill him
The fanon portrayal of Korekiyo and Maki's dynamic is that they're perfectly fine with each other, Especially because of their calm and collected personalities
When it's actually..Kind of completely backwards..
In canon, After Korekiyo finds out Maki's talent; He jumps at any opportunity to antagonize her, Knowing the rules of the game and every other participant protect him from her actually hurting him. And she antagonizes him way more in chapter three even before the murder. He's also blatantly rude to her(Actively ignoring her in conversations and then asking, "Did you say something?" or "Did you hear something?/srs), And Maki is always annoyed with him even being there
Meanwhile in canon with Maki and Kokichi, Even after her talent is revealed she's literally completely fine with him, He antagonizes her for a bit but she is always shown to just not care at all or even at some points responds calmly to him..In chapter 1, She was the only person to agree with him and didn't just assume he was up to no good like literally everyone else did..She only gets more aggressive with him when he says he killed two people for fun and that he was the mastermind. She even felt guilty about killing him even when she still thought he was a remnant of despair(After finding out he wasn't the mastermind)
Am I the only one to find it funny how the fandom got those two dynamics completely confused😭😭
You know, I think Maki actually does feel guilty about Kokichi's death.
Yes, by Ch.5 she absolutely hated him, but it was understandable. He declared himself the mastermind — person who supposedly kidnapped forced everyone to kill each other. He took Kaito — the most important person for Maki in this game — hostage. He mocked Gonta after his death. He told everyone that he enjoyed their suffering, laughing like madman. Throughout all the game, he accused and insulted Maki of being an assassin. And finally, the last straw was the fake memories that he also helped Junko start wars and cause destruction. This all led to her snapping and trying to kill him.
And Maki never enjoyed killing. She was forced to become an assassin and only stayed for the safety and wellbeing of children in the orphanage she grew up in. She really wanted to prove the group. that she could be trusted. She even told this to Kokichi after the 3rd trial.
Yes, at the end of the fifth trial she told Kaito that he shouldn't have agreed to Kokichi's plan and it would have been better for Ouma to just die. But at that moment she was desperate, hurt and scared that Kaito would be executed. Naturally she would be mad at Kokichi.
But in Chapter 6, she was the one who volunteered to search Kokichi's room to find any clues that could help end the game. If she didn't care at all, she would not offer to search there. I think part of her also wanted to find some kind of confirmation that he really was an asshole who absolutely deserved to die. Or, on the contrary, confirmation that he really did try to help them. Just anything to form her own final opinion about him.
And also that moment during the Final Trial when Tsumugi, the real Mastermind, revealed that those memories, that finally pushed her to try to kill him, weren't real. Maki sounds shocked and horrified at that. Because those memories were the reason that pushed her to try to murder him. And if they were fake, that means she did all that for nothing. She broke her unspoken promise to Kaito, and that resulted in Momota and Ouma both dying. And all of it was because of a lie.
It feels to me that she does feel guilty for both Kaito's death and Kokichi's death, because it was her actions that partially led to everything ending that way. I think no matter how she feels about Kokichi, she regrets what she did.
People are sleeping on the sheer possibilities with this ship in any AU and canon, Just sayin'..
Also I didn't change Maki's outfit from canon cause nothing about her really changed, She's still like the same age and occupation in it so it's still perfect🤷♀️
Little fun fact
In the Manga—Kaito, Angie, And Kokichi can all be seen with instruments made by Miu
Kaito has a guitar without enough strings to play it, Angie has maracas, Kokichi had a tambourine and microphone
And Ryoma gets handed it briefly but doesn't actually sing
It was like my favorite part of the Manga so I wanted to share that
He'd She'd be powerless without the other Vees!
Did you know I made Spotify playlists for every character in V3(Ryoma and Gonta are still wips) that are actually in character and are all at least two hours?
Well you do now
