We got the psych ward arc but at the cost of LIN.

FUNNIEST WAY TO DESCRIBE THIS SHOW

ring ring it's a difficult gun to draw calling

rewording a post i made a while ago just bc it was a bit nonsensical but something that definitely needs to be examined in the danganronpa fandom is how a lot of characters seem to be interpreted through one single lens of intelligence. does that make sense. like in order for a character to be “smart” in this fandom they SPECIFICALLY need to be book smart and well spoken, regardless of their talents. we gotta shape up guys .. examining other types of intelligence is FASCINATING and really highlights each characters strengths and weaknesses, and this especially applies to emotional intelligence.

like is byakuya smart? absolutely. but is he emotionally intelligent? fuck no!!!! and aoi used that against him in chapter four!!!!!!!! and even though she is misguided as all hell, tenko has the ability to understand her opponent mid-battle and use that to determine how she continues the fight (likely something other fighting ultimates do as well!!!) which is crazy. mikan is able to read facial expressions well, even if she IMMEDIATELY misinterprets this as something she personally did wrong lol. these characters navigate through the killing game differently and in some cases survive because of it, and if you want something interesting to write on it’s definitely something to be examined!!!

also straight up sometimes the fandom interprets characters who don’t speak super formally/are optimistic as dumb too which is so strange. more of the “buff” talents like mondo and fuyuhiko need to understand battle tactics and serious team management/planning in order to get anywhere in their field, but are pushed aside quite a bit because theyre these super gruff macho characters that swear a bunch. sonia as well because she's a fish out of water type of character. and yes he isn’t very well spoken and is very trusting but gonta is an actual scientist guys… i could make a whole separate post about this weird trend of pessimism being seen as smart and optimism as stupid but yeah seriously

anyways all this to say, when writing for a “dumb” character take a step back and ask just what makes them dumb in your eyes. is it because they aren’t considered academic or a scholar?? is it because they’re a “happier” character that might not be as well-spoken?? theres nuance there and this obviously doesn't apply to all of them, like clearly akane isnt super good with emotions or smarts in general, but even THEN her spacial awareness and heightened sense of perception is something that is often under-utilised in fics!! it provides a whole lot of depth to remember that a lot of danganronpa characters are very talented and well versed in other forms of intelligence than what might be most obvious !!!!!

He coughed, waving it away from his face and swatting at his clothing. They were already having to deal with menticide mushroom spores on the regular in Anura. He certainly did not need other mortal irritants in his lungs– The ‘dust’ smudged black, leaving the patterns of his fingers where he’d swatted. He stared at the marks for a moment, frozen in mid-motion, then turned his hand over to examine it. Black dust left smeared trails on his fingers. Coal dust.

Narinder and the Lamb start to venture into Anura, but are sidetracked because of a request from a certain former God of Chaos. Leshy converses with a mortal for the first time in years, and a certain mushroom-headed-ant makes a reappearance.

A place that has been visited in nightmares is uncovered, and more questions are asked, formed, and kept in a back pocket for later.

god i love the og sonic adventure logo. “what do we do to represent sonic’s big new direction? to represent a radical new dimension in gameplay, story, and design?”
