Guys I Had A Thought™

ii 17 spoilers!!

i just watched the new episode, a little bit late! it HURTS :) anyway, i saw some parallels, and i wasn't sure if i was clutching at straws, so i'm going to put them here!

taco and oj with knife and suitcase?

taco's character was playing dumb and she was going to backstab right at the end

suitcase doesn't play dumb but come soff as a pushover initially and is also labelled a backstabber

knife seems to have a somewhat high opinion of himself (unless i read that wrong) and it means he can be kinda a bitch

oj also has a VERY high opinion of himself and can definitely be a bitch! oj narcissism core!

there's also the physical size! suitcase and taco short, knife and oj taller, suitcase and taco wide, oj and knife kinda same wideness

suitcase and taco, both originally had no arms (before taco uhhhhhh.. magically had arms idk i didnt watch season 1 im sorry im not a real fan 💀

going by this logic, taco was initially going to backstab oj at the end of season 1 but failed

were suitcase and knife a way of mephone4 retrying the trope? too much character development happened to just label them as that now, but is suitcase supposed to win the season like taco was supposedly meant to? or would knife win like oj did-

this is what happens when you give inanimate insanity to a little LOSER. it will make its little THEORIES. and be a little SAD.

anyway did i miss anything that links to this? :D

(edit: i know he made iii to make it more lighthearted bc season 2 got too depressing and shit but was that what he initially meant to do with season 2? and then it got depressing anyway?)

As I promised before, here are some extra doodles for their designs along w some backstory + discarded costume choices!

The reason why I made full body references when I only did a half-ish body drawing was because I didn't had the composition figured out at the time.

.

.

.

His costume design and backstory in the AU was heavily inspired by the Harley in the 2004 The Batman animated series because I happen to actually like how she was portrayed in that series.

Ofc I changed some key points, the biggest being the fact that he was never a psicologist because sdra2 already has Kokoro, plus, I thought that the idea of maintaining him as a journalist who caught himself in a mess was an interesting idea.

His civilian appearance was influenced by one of his beta designs.

The only discarded doodles I'm gonna show of him. They aren't detailed bc he got the role so I didn't see the point on detailing them.

.

.

.

I already knew how Mikado would look like so he doesn't have discarded choices except when it come to the color palette bc that's always a battle for me...

His design was slightly inspired by both Joker's design in The Batman 2004 and the Joker in the Suicide Squad Isekai Anime.

For a moment I thought about painting him a smile on his face like the anime Joker but inmediatly decided against it because I was too lazy to draw that a bunch of times🤷‍♀️

.

.

.

When I realized iroha wasn't gonna win I decided detail all her doodles and put them together so you could appreciate her design better!

Unlike Nikei, her costume design was more jester-like and includes the three diamond symbol bc I thought it would fit her very well.

If she would have won, her backstory would have been a lot more simple than the one Nikei has bc she simply got into the wrong place at the worst time and only helps Mikado bc he "promised" that if she served him, he wouldn't kill her so she doesn't even hide the fact that she doesn't feel love and instead fears him a lot.

just a little thing i noticed!! spoilers for danganronpa despair time chapter 2 :)

i was rewatching a little bit, as i havent kept up with the series in a while and needed a recap. i screenshotted the rules because i got an odd feeling.

i noticed something. rule 14 is a bit vague. it says:

'All murderers must be held accountable for their crimes.'

i know this is definitely supposed to refer to execution but it gives me a weird feeling idk i feel like there could be a twist to this? again, could be for a more sinister effect, but the rules of the blackened and what happens in the case of a murder are explained earlier, in rules 2, 3 and 4.

so i had a bit of a thought?

we know that levi is a murderer, right? he admitted it himself.

rule 14 says all murderers must be held accountable for their actions, not just blackeneds. levi said he was never held accountable for his actions, because hope's peak cleared them or something i forgot?

so isn't levi technically breaking a rule??

sorry if im kind of clutching at straws here but i feel like this would be a good twist, like maybe him and ace get executed together considering ace is a blackened and levi supposedly admitted to breaking school rules

not sure tho, even if it was true monotv has been lax on rules, he let arei put a rope around his neck etc i don't think it's too likely

any feedback on this? tagging it as a theory, but it's more of a rant thingy :D

i nneed help

(MURDER DRONES EPISODE 8 SPOILERS!!!!)

can someone seriously please explain the last episode of murder drones to me? i cant tell if its a cliffhanger or what, i felt like there were a lot of things that left unanswered or seemed confusing

like how did uzi kind of save everyone by just.. eating a black hole

wtf was that at the end

is the last scene fake or something?? guys please 😭 also wtf happened to j did she just like.. die

i think im just tired but i cannot understand what i just watched

(still.. the animation was amazing and the voice acting was superb as always!!! i just couldn't really keep up aha)

note!! ive seen a few people say that the pacing wasn't great, i think that's why i had trouble 😕

note 2!! WHAT ABOUT THE N KILLING NORI THEORY?? 😭

I. AM. WRECKED.

DRDT CCHAPTER 2 EXECUTION SPOILERS AND MORE

just watched drdt chapter 2 episode 16. you know what that means!! time for a rant!!

LEVI TAKING BULLETS FOR TERUKO??? I WAS SO SURE IT WAS GONNA BE ACE THAT DID IT AND HE CAME OUT OF NOWHERE

HE'S MY FAVOURITE I AM ACTUALLY SO WRECKED

also may make a seperate post about this but whit is WAY too chill. this is the first time we've seen him lose his cool briefly, and it's when they're locked in. i think he could have some form of claustrophobia.

ace's execution was so fucking cruel. in the end, he got himself killed because he was so scared. it was anticlimactic, it was immediately overshadowed by someone else, nobody really mourned him at ALL. ace didn't get a buildup, and he died knowing that the one person he considered a friend could die the longer he lived on. that is FOULLLLL.

also. ace said that he'd have a third murder on his hands. arei, levi and.... who?

veronika was so annoying this chapter. im sorry but she actually got on my nerves so much. girl. shut up im trying to watch my doomed yaoi

i still don't trust eden

hu jing kinda average, j kinda average, nico kinda average

david not much screentime, but he seemed shocked when monotv was actually unconscious at first. maybe he genuinely believed that couldn't happen? does he have a reason to think so?

im not sure whats up with arturo, smth to do with his sister, not being able to save someone? i actually missed most of the arturo lore and i dont care enough about him to look back

sucks to be charles right now, but i was more confused as to how whit was more concerned about CHARLES than the classmate(s) in front of them literally about to DIE. i know the fandom loves whit but he is giving me so many red flags i have to say it. ill make a post on him soon. i DO NOT TRUST WHIT YOUNG.

eden kinda mid rn but i just don't like her so im biased..

it was very interesting to see teruko's self-blame this chapter and her beliefs coming out more to the viewer. her talk with monotv was so interesting. so monotv really is just a robot - but why was it so sinister in that one scene very early on in drdt? yk red face smile face. we haven't seen that come up again, and monotv hasn't shown many more examples of sinister behaviour. i wonder if that was an example of monotv being controlled maybe??

im wondering if ace helped to kill mai? she could be the third death? i saw someone say that the game could be punishment for them all for what they did to/their connection to mai, and i think that's an amazing idea

also another part on levi. he's trying his best to understand ace, so much, and yet he just can't. i was very intrigued to see how frustrated he was (ha. divorce arc.) but also the fact that he put teruko's life before his own despite having more difficulty than the others is just. wow. like, anyone else in that room had the opportunity to save her, in the same way, but it was LEVI that stepped forward. and for teruko of all people.

i may have to make seperate posts i just wanted to get this out quickly while the episode is still fresh!!! ^^ sorry if missed anything!!!

drdt spoilers and all that, i had another thought, this is a brain dump and not a coherent thought

spoilers for drdt

ok so ive seen whit timeloop theory makes sense i think its cool but what about full game timeloop theory (.. that only whit can recall.. because he's just.. like that.. idk)

i mean hear me out the game says 'all murderers must be punished', theres the theory that all of them contributed to a death somehow (edit: and thats why they are being punished by playing the killing game, theoretically), thats all well and good but can anyone actually KILL teruko

like she survived being stabbed. and the guns and stuff

maybe the game keeps looping because of teruko specifically, that's why xander has to kill her, because they're stuck in the game. on more of a clutching at straws note, maybe him and eden were the survivors of the last game, and realised they had to die to restart the loop or something after learning the truth and to kill teruko

'i wasnt expecting her to attack me like that' eden could be crying because she doesn't actually want to attack xander but like. she gotta kill him dude. idk. idk where im going with this :(

but that would be cool if it was a plot point because it gives eden cool relevance without making her evil or a mastermind

anyway yeah point is the killing game only continues because teruko lives. if teruko dies, then they can finally get out of the loop? maybe?

essentially it's like. purgatory. because people go to purgatory as a temporary waiting room for their sins to be purged and cleaned and stuff, they can't leave until they've paid the last penny etc

teruko is the last penny i guess

it gives them a plausible reason for xander to kill teruko, he might not remember the last loop but whatever his source if, if its linked to the loop them he's kinda taking one for the team tryna kill teruko idk

also davids weird treatment towards teruko idk

maybe he had a little conversation with xander before matthewsman kicked the bucket and that's why he's acting all weird IDK

IDK ANYMORE THATS JUST A THEORY

any thoughts? at all? i might just be going crazy again lol ty for reading :)

(edit #2: try not to use 'idk' in a sentence challenge, level impossible)

its 1am and i have no life. heres another drdt post. it's about ace and levi now.

drdt ch2 ep16 spoilers

levi and ace. levi served as the one person ace considered to be a friend in the killing game, whereas levi could never understand ace no matter how hard he tried and found himself getting frustrated.

these two never got their proper goodbye - the last thing pretty much that levi will remember ace saying to him is how he should kill himself (or something close to that). he's too busy being full of holes like a bloody sponge to hear ace yelling at arturo to save levi. teruko ruined their last goodbye with her arrogance. which is a bold statement but like. girl. it would've taken you literally a few steps out of the way 😭 this is NOT your main character moment!!!

ace's execution just served to prove how deep rooted his fear was, to the point where it could be considered pathetic maybe. even knowing it was prolonging the possible death of his friend, ace was still so scared to die, scared enough to risk anyone's life. he did it with arei, and was prepared to get everyone killed to win the class trial, and even while levi was bleeding out, ace still fought for his own life. he was telling monotv to 'get it over with quickly', but he then did the exact opposite. ace couldn't live up to the bravery he had to try and conjure up out of nowhere. the fact that he even tried in the first place, for levi, amazes me, since he's been so mortified by the idea of dying throughout this whole game.

i wonder how levi will be when he wakes up. he risked his own life for someone else despite having no empathy for others. does he really have no empathy for others? he seemed upset about never understanding ace, no matter what, but was that just about his death or about the missed opportunity? i can't say for certain whether levi really viewed ace as just that 'distant stranger' he described people as (because im sleepy), but either way.. no more husbands!!! :)

(scuttles back to my little corner and starts ugly crying)

teruko teruko teruko teruko teruko teruko teruko teruko teruko teruko teruko teruko

teruko doodle cuz umm i watched the newer episodes lol

i might post more art someday ...

I need to point out that if someone murders using poison everyone is so fucked. Specifically because of the wording in rule 10.

This does not specify between innocents and the blackened. Which means, if the murder is defined as “when the victim dies”, if 3 people witness someone die, the bda will not go off until 3 more people, who did not see the victim die, enter the room. And if the blackened is not in the room at the time of death, they can set off the bda.

Just thought that was interesting.

i put the characters in a headcanon generator

credit to @nullin-void for the generator i think
