#other tournaments - posts promoting other tournaments, in which this blog has been tagged. there are some pretty cool ones in there!

what's your policy on ties?

only a perfect 50/50 counts as a tie. if one bait is even .1% higher than another, they win. i did this because i thought it would be funny and i also want to avoid tiebreaker rounds as much as possible

do you reblog propaganda?

yes! you are free to tag me in propaganda or to send it as an ask, although i will probably not reblog/respond to anti-propaganda. (you're free to make it or tag me though, it'll probably make me laugh)

what are you counting as straightbait?

the definition of straightbait in this tournament is intentionally very loose, and the poll question is also vague on purpose (is it celebratory or derogatory? who knows). i've accepted submissions with more obvious examples of "straightbait", such as cases where m/f couples are teased but never get together or are revealed to be queer. however, i've also accepted couples where they have some kind of weird fucking thing going on that could be interpreted a number of ways but isn't straightforward canonical m/f romance, "buried straights" who die after romance is confirmed, and a number of other things. i go more into this tournament's definition of straightbait here and here.

why is this couple in the tournament if they get together canonically?

see above. in most cases where this question comes up, we're talking about buried straights. if the characters in question are queer, it is straightbait at least partially by virtue of those characters not being straight. and if neither of the above, the answer you are looking for will be in the propaganda.

you're free to argue about the validity of a straightbait in the tags, amongst yourselves, or in propaganda, but please don't come to me about whether a bait should or shouldn't be in the tournament. their inclusion on this blog + submitted propaganda speaks for itself

for more on queer characters being submitted to this tournament see this post and the tags of this post

what is The Policy?

sometimes i rb propaganda posts that i tag with #as per The Policy. the policy says that any time i encounter a post on my dash that is related to one of the pairs in this tournament such that it could be used as propaganda, i have to reblog it.

how were the matchups decided?

i sorted all my submissions into popularity tiers, then randomized matchups within each tier, so characters were matched up with others with equal or similar popularity to the best of my ability. tiers were based on how many submissions a pair received and how well they did in the singles tournament. there were five or six tiers in total, although it's been long enough since i made the bracket that i do not remember the exact number

what is the singles tournament?

the singles tournament was a preliminary tournament that i ran for every pairing or character that was only submitted once, hence "singles". i only automatically qualified straightbaits with more than one submission, so i did this to allow more submissions to enter the main tournament. also a chance to see your blorbo in a poll at least once, even if they didn't qualify

what should i do if you've gotten something wrong?

send me an ask or a message, or leave me a comment! if you send an ask, please specify if you want me to answer it privately, as i will answer publicly by default. although be advised if i've made a typo in a poll option or poll title, i cannot edit it

what should i call you?

i've been referring to myself as straightmod/mod, but you can also call me karinyo! i use they/them, he/him, and ze/hir

have fun and enjoy your time here <3

#basics #straightbait tournament #the current polls section will be updated as each round goes live. so if any links are missing they probably just haven't been posted yet #mod's got a fancy new faq post in time for the official tournament

{ ayo edebiri, 21, cis woman, she/her } Is that LOGAN IYANDE? A SOPHOMORE originally from SACRAMENTO, CALIFORNIA, they decided to come to Ogden College to study GRAPHIC DESIGN on a ACADEMIC SCHOLARSHIP. They’re THE WALLFLOWER on campus, but even they could get blamed for Greer’s disappearance.

pinterest/spotify

yearning, dreaming, resting her head against the car door and closing her eyes, imagining a world where she is a different person, where people look up when she enters a room and stop talking when she starts to speak. suburbs, doldrums, everything that will happen to her has already happened before. the glow of a computer screen in the middle of the night, an aching familiarity with the four walls of her bedroom. the urge to think that no one understands her when fearing maybe there isn’t that much to understand. speaking a language that is so entrenched in decades of internet debris that she doesn’t know if people know how to translate. wondering if she is more interesting behind a keyboard than she is in person. sketchbooks filled with art no one would ask to see. wasting her youth, wasting her breath, wasting her time.

BASICS:

full name: logan iyande

age: 21

date of birth: march 18

zodiac sign: pisces sun, cancer moon, virgo rising

hometown: sacramento, CA

gender: cis female

sexuality: lesbian

ethnicity: african american

languages spoken: english

PERSONALITY:

positive qualities: kind, curious, intelligent

negative qualities: geeky, introverted, naive

skills: encyclopedic knowledge on niche topics, quick reflexes, and deviantart fame for drawing niche cartoon characters in 2011

character parallels: Chidi Anagonye (The Good Place), Sam Weir (Freaks and Geeks), Willow Rosenberg (BTVS), Will Byers (Stranger Things), Lexi Howard (Euphoria), Haruhi Fujioka (OHSHC)

relationship to greer: if you looked on logan’s instagram history, you would almost always see @greer in her recently viewed. it’s not that she was obsessed with greer- she hardly knew her, had shared a class with her freshman year, and that was all. but greer represented everything she wasn’t, and she watched her with a keen eye more suited to an anthropologist studying another culture than a classmate watching another.

school activities: running team, school paper

style: grandpacore- big thrifted sweaters, baggy jeans, trousers, loafers

the wallflower: people did not notice logan at a party, and that’s just fine with her. frankly, she didn’t want to be at the party anyways, would rather be in her dorm room curled up with a weighty book or tending to her farm in stardew valley. she felt stupid and exposed on the nights she dragged herself to a party she’d only been invited to as an afterthought, so she only did it rarely, when the little voice inside her head told her she was wasting her twenties under the covers. she made a fool of herself anyways- she didn’t get the sarcasm, wasn’t interested in the drugs, didn’t know the music that was being played or the tv shows that were being discussed. no, she was sure everyone laughed about her when she left. the more cutting truth, that no one was talking about her at all, would actually be a comfort.

wanted connections (under construction)

woman for her to have a heartbreaking unrequited crush on (maybe she's straight in a Wish You Were Gay (by claud not billie eilish) type way? or maybe they'll just never see logan that way a la Christine by lucy dacus)

outgoing friend for her to follow around like a puppy

friends to lovers yearning kind of thing (she IS a yearner in all ways and forms)

toxic ex/situationship that she’s still a little in love with (ok i kind of have this one in my head i think she felt like they were embarrassed by her or talked down to her regardless of whether or not that was the truth)

go with me here some kind of cinderella story friendship?? like they’re friends through the internet but don’t know who the other person is irl

other headcanons

was a big tumblr artist a few years back for mid-2000s cartoons (like u know the vibe. avatar, teen titans, ect)- made the jump to twitter and still has a largeish following but not nearly as big as the early 2010s

maybe a little too into lord of the rings

had a big anime phase in middle school but has (mostly) grown out of it

listens to a lot of indie sad girl music (lizzy mcalpine, lucy dacus, ect) but has a soft spot for old school country

has a very large vinyl collection

i don't feel like writing out her family stuff but she actually has a really great relationship with her parents especially her mother

has been in dozens of car accidents but only by hitting parked cars when trying to park

will read literally anything- she's gone through the entire ice planet barbarians series in the last month

really loves horror movies but hates jumpscares so she looks them up on imdb before

#ogdenintro #{.musings } — ❝ i am just the fool you took me for ❞#is it even a jess intro without a homemade graphic thats gonna hurt my eyes every time i click on my blog?

Smartest Kid I Know

Title: Smartest Kid I Know Fandom: Supernatural Characters: Sonny, Sam Summary: Ticklish!Sam; Sam is the smartest kid Sonny has met. If only the kid knew that too.

A/N: HELLOOOOO! Okay, so, I am so happy you guys like this series so far! Your support is amazing!! So here is Part 3 of the Sonny Verse. Enjoy!

Sonny has been working in the Boys Home “Business” for a couple of years now. The Ex-Con liked to think he was reshaping these kids lives for the better. When the Winchester’s first came up on the phone from the Deputy, he wondered if he was getting a tag team of thieves despite with he was told. But, when this tall young man with a protective arm around the smaller kids’ shoulders strolled in, he immediately knew he was wrong.

Sam and Dean quickly became popular around the boys home. Dean seemed hesitant to make friends but it came naturally to the teen, that it spread to the high school. Dean was a tough kid and strong as well, making it on the wrestling team. It made Sonny proud to see the teen happy in what he was doing. Despite Dean being a badass, the walls so obviously built around him crumbled in the face of an adorable puppy eyed kid―his little brother.

Sam was like no kid Sonny had ever met. He was quick witted (for his age), fast, unusually short and hella smart. He was so interested in everything. In the world, in the way people worked, how their minds worked. Sam recently became more invested with Law, particularly as a profiler or even a lawyer caught his interest. Sam loved reading all the books Sonny carried around and sometimes, if they finished chores and work around the barn, Sam would ask Sonny to explore the world with him in a dusty old atlas.

They would sit on the floor in Sam and Dean’s room, sometimes Dean laying a few feet away doing homework, sometimes getting involved too. But, most of the time, Sonny cherished it because they were alone. Sam would tell him about what he saw on the road with his dad and brother and then explain where he would love to go.

“Sometimes, I want to go back to Kansas,” Sam said once. Sonny was a bit surprised since they were looking at Greece, but he gave Sam his full attention. “I never knew our mom but if we stayed there...maybe I would be closer to her.”

“I’ve been to Vegas before!” Sam exclaimed another time. “You should have seen Dean. Practically pouting the whole time since Dad wouldn't let him go to the casinos with him.”

Sonny sometimes told Sam of what he did as an Ex-Con, what he’d seen and how he moved on. Sam listened with wide eyes and curious questions that made Sonny think that he couldn't be that bad of a guy if this kid looked at him with awe. Now he understood, more then ever, why Dean loved his little brother so much. Sam had a way of making you feel special. If only Sam had a Sam to make him see it, too.

“They were talking about college in school today,” Sam said, laying on his stomach as he wrote equations that made Sonny’s head spin. Sam was doing high schooled leveled homework and Sonny couldn't have been more proud.

“Really?”

“Well, sorta. My guidance teacher talked about it to me in a meeting,” Sam shrugged. “She asked where I wanted to go.”

“Have any idea?” Sonny asked, leaning back on one of the beds as they sat on the floor.

“I was looking at some of the brochures she had. I like Stanford’s law program,” Sam admitted, still not making eye contact.

“Stanford’s a good school.”

“I’d never make it in,” Sam sighed, biting his lip with a frown. It physically hurt Sonny to see Sam so downhearted. Where was Dean when you needed him?!

“C’mon, kid, you know that ain’t true in the slightest.”

“Sonny, I’d have to work really hard to get in and it would have to be on a scholarship since I don't have that kind of money! I would be like a Commoner in a school full of Rich People.”(OHHC References >///< sorry)

“So what?” Sonny said, leaning forward. “If you get in, it would be because your wicked smart, not because you bribed them to let you in.”

“But, Sonny, that’s the problem. I’m not some genius. I only know this stuff because of how often we moved, not because I actually know it! I cant get into Stanford and that's how it has to be,” Sam slammed his book shut. Sonny could see frustrated tears well in Sam’s eyes and Sonny wondered what the hell he could do to make this better. Then it hit him.

Sam was just as―if not more―ticklish then his big brother. And it would definitely put a smile on the baby Winchester’s face. Sonny reached a hand out and gently ruffled Sam’s hair, moving his hand so his finger’s brushed along Sam’s neck. Sam squeaked in surprise, head immediately snapping to trap the tickling fingers.

“Sonny, whahat are you dohoing?”

“Trying to make you feel better, kiddo. And get you to see my way, of course,” Sonny chuckled, wiggling his trapped fingers and darting his other one to Sam’s exposed sides.

“Whahat’s your wahahay?”

“That you are a wiz-kid and need to see that yourself.”

“Buhut I’m nohOHOT! NOO!” Sam shrieked as Sonny pulled his hands free and both hands scurried along Sam’s sides, slipping under the thin tee-shirt and scratching the soft flesh.

“You are, Sam,” Sonny insisted. “I mean, you’re going High School level homework right now! You’re in geometry already and you are almost done with your chemistry course!” Sonny dug his thumbs into Sam’s hips, doing the same maneuver Sam taught him for Dean.

Sam cried out in laughter, though he didn't seem to be as ticklish there as his older brother. The younger kid tried to roll away from Sonny, climbing to his knees to crawl away but the Ex-Con had a few tricks up his sleeves.

“Where do you think you’re going, Thing Two?” He scooped Sam up from his armpits, making the kid cackle as he wiggled his fingers into the ticklish pits.

“STOHOHOP! AHAHA! SOHOHONNY!” The nickname made Sam feel warm inside. The only nickname he ever had was the one from Dean―Sammy―but since they arrived at Sonny, everyone quickly started calling them Thing One and Thing Two because despite the age difference, they pretty much did everything together. “DEHEHEAN! DEHE HEHEHELP!”

“Dean is out with Robin,” Sonny chuckled. “It’s just you and me...and the other boys.” Sonny sighed as Sam continued to struggle and call for help. “C’mon kid, use that big brain of yours and find a way out!”

Sam shrieked as Sonny moved down to his stomach, finger’s splaying over his ribs. They hovered over Sam’s slightly pudgy belly, teasingly wiggling in the air.

“NOHO! Nohooo. Plehehease dohohon’t.”

“Do you think your smart enough to get into Stanford and become the best lawyer out there?”

“Sohohonny...”

“I feel like that’s more of a no...,” Sonny mock-sighed, making a tickle-claw and descending it on Sam’s quivering tummy. Sam screamed as it vibrated, the feeling sending tingles of laughter out of his mouth. He tried grabbing at the older man but was able to avoid it.

“NOHOHO MOHOHORE! I-I CAHAHAHAN’T TAHAHAKE IHIT!”

“What was it Dean liked to do to you? What were they called? Blue berries?”

“NONONO!” Sam pleaded, throwing his head back with a squeal as Sonny discovered Sammy’s little innie.

“Aww, it’s so cute,” Sonny cooed, wiggling his finger inside. Adorable bubbly laughter filled Sam’s chest as they exploded out of his mouth. “But, they weren't called blueberries. Was it black berries?”

“SOHOHONNY!”

“R-Raspberries? Ya, that’s it! Raspberries! You love them don’t you?” Sonny moved the shirt up further and rubbed his small scruff under the small boys belly button. Sam was crying with laughter, voice sputtering protests. “So, Sammy. Are you smart enough to get into Stanford?”

“YEHEHES! YES! Ihihi’m so smahahahart! I cahahan!”

“Damn right, you can!” Sonny chuckled before diving down and blowing a huge raspberry. Sam bucked up as adorable cackling laughter ripped through his ribs.

“STAHAHAHAP! PLEHEHEASE!”

Sonny pulled away, laughing as the ore-teen seemed to deflate, a helpless smile on his face as residue giggles still poured out of his mouth. After taking a few huge gulps of air, Sam seemed to finally calm down from the torture. He looked up a Sonny and gave his shy smile.

“You really think I can do it?”

“I know you can do it, Sam,” Sonny ruffled the kids hair one more time before standing, helping Sam up and pulling him into a hug. “You’re the smartest kid I know. You’ll do just fine.”

And Sam smiled as he actually believed it.

If Danganronpa: Another Despair Academy had an English cast

So I recently made a post very similar to this where I talked about who a hypothetical English voice cast for Our World Is Ended would be. I kind of enjoyed making that post, so I decided to do something similar with the cast of a Danganronpa fan game that has been featured prominently on my chanel and that’s the Danganronpa: Another series. Being a Korean fan game, the original dub of Danganronpa Another has barely any dialogue to speak of. In fact, the only two characters in the series who speak often are Yuki and Sora, the protagonists of the two games, but that’s when they’re in trials. As of right now, a group of people is working on an English dub for the second game. This is why I’m specifically going to talk about the first game in the series, and bare in mind 2 things.

1) There will be some pretty heavy spoilers that I talk about in this post, so if you’re going to read it, please play the game, watch a playthrough or read up on it first.

2) If by any chance the first game gets a dub and the following people I do mention end up voicing the characters, I assure you it is purely coincidental. I wouldn’t even call this a hypothetical scenario so much as I’d call it a basic thought process of my weird weird mind.

Without further ado, let’s begin.

Yuki Maeda: Yuri Lowenthal

In the current dub for the second game, Yuki is being voiced by a user by the name of Soluri, who is pretty talented in their right, but my thought process for an alternative voice actor would be this. Yuki as a protagonist takes a very similar standing as Makoto Naegi and Hajime Hinata, whom are voiced by Bryce Papenbrook and Johnny Yong Bosch respectively, so if I was given a choice to choose who could voice act him, then I think Yuri Lowenthal would be a fitting choice, since he’s also often voiced protagonists. Being someone who often does work in famous franchises, his voice work includes Marth from Fire Emblem, Yosuke Hanamura in Persona, Ben Tennyson in many Ben 10 works, Klavier Gavin in Ace Attorney, Simon in Gurren Lagann and Suzaku from Code Geass. However, he’d also be a fitting choice since I believe he’d be able to do a good job as both the somwhat cowardly and submissive Yuki as well as the mysterious and somewhat stoically dangerous Utsuro, as he is also the main VA for Sasuke in Naruto and Alucard in Castlevania.

Akane Taira: Monica Rial

Akane’s basic character throughout the majority of the game is that she’s lighthearted and even though the killing game is getting to her just as much as everyone else, she still finds a way to lighten the atmosphere, and is a usually cheery and kind person, if a little scary when angry. However, her true nature is something much more freakish, being, in actuality, the mastermind behind the aforementioned killing game that she spends a lot of the game seemingly fighting against. For an English VA, I think the best bet is Monica Rial, who has previously voiced in Danganronpa as Sayaka Maizono in the Danganronpa anime. The reason for my choice is she has previously voiced usually nice, if a little stern, characters like Bulma from Dragon Ball, Tsuyu Asui from My Hero Academia, May Chang from Full Metal Alchemist, Tsubaki from Soul Eater, Kayano from Assassination Classroom, Mirajane Strauss from Fairy Tale and Sakura from CardCaptor Sakura. However, she’s not one to shy away from maniacal villains, or generally creepy characters either, also voicing Tanya from Saga of Tanya the Evil, Krul Tepes from Seraph of the End or Stocking from Panty and Stocking. Also doing the voice of Misaki Ayuzawa from Maid Sama and Mey-rin in Black Butler, she’s not new to voicing maid characters.

Tsurugi Kinjo: Crispin Freeman

Having already done voice work in a main Danganronpa game, albeit for a very unlikable character, I ruled out Matthew Mercer for this one. I can only really describe Tsurugi as the Nagito Komaeda of this series. He has good intentions, but a really messed up way of thinking, even at times quite self-deprecating and reflecting on his own incapabilities to stop the killing game and catch the mastermind. Like I already said, he seems like he’d be voiced by a deep voiced character like Matt Mercer, but when it comes to characters like that, Crispin Freeman is a safe bet. Some of the rightous and/or badass characters that he’s lent his voice to include Winston from Overwatch, Kyon in the Haruhi Suzumiya series, Tsume in Wolf’s Rain and more, but can also do a pretty good crazy character every once in a while, like Alucard from Hellsing, Itachi Uchiha from Naruto and Firefly in the Batman Arkham Series.

Rei Mekaru: Laura Post

Admittedly, I was considering Monica Rial for this crude and shrewd character too. Mature and professional to a fault, barely showing any sort of real emotion and often insulting the other killing game participants for seemingly no reason, Rei is basically Another 2′s Byakuya Togami, intelligent, but rude. Having previously voiced condescending characters, Laura Post is a pretty good choice. I’m referring mostly to characters like Kill La Kill’s Ragyo Kiryuin and Fubuki/Blizzard from Hell from One Punch Man, as well as Diana Cavendish from Little Witch Academia and one of her first ever performances, Queen Nehelenia from Sailor Moon. However, Laura Post has also voiced rather gentle and friendly characters before, which would be a good way to highlight Rei’s secret soft side. Characters like Nozomi Tojo from Love Live and her most recent role, Kasumi Yoshizawa from Persona 5 Royal.

Haruhiko “Haru” Kobashikawa: Sam Riegal

The minute I was introduced to him, I immediately thought, “Ok, he’s going to be the Kazuichi of this game isn’t he?” And to be honest, I don’t think I was that far off. However, even so, he seems more like Kaito if Kaito wasn’t necessarily a central character. Haru’s important, but he’s on the same level of importance as a character like say...Game 1 Toko. A sociable person who’s only goal is to get along well with everyone, he’s cheerful, laid back and more often than not pretty amusing to watch. Someone I believe to be fit for the role, having previously voiced a repertoire of pretty dorky and likeable characters, is Sam Riegal. By that, I mean he’s done the voice work of Teddy from Persona, Phoenix Wright in Ace Attorney, Emperor Awesome in Wander of Yonder, Kanata from Trinity Universe, Shirou Emiya from Fate/Stay Night and Donatello in a large number of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles works.

Teruya Otori: Kyle McCarly

Teruya is a character that returns for the second game, and his voice actor in that is NuzikVA. I was really stuck on this one, since Yuri Lowenthal, whom I picked for Yuki, was my main option for Teruya too, but my second option for him would be just as viable. One of Teruya’s most important aspects to his character is that he has a pretty unique western accent despite being Japanese, since his Ultimate Merchant talent means he’s travelled the world and picked up on a few things. On top of that, he’s pretty adorkable and a little childish. I’ve heard Yuri Lowenthal do accents before, which is why I considered it, but I figured anything Yuri Lowenthal can do, Kyle McCarly can do just as well, if not better. He’s a voice actor who’s lines are packed full of expression and some of his previous work includes 9S from Neir: Automata, Hyde in Cross Tag Battle, Hal in Astral Chain, Gatekeeper in Fire Emblem Three Houses and Narancia in JoJo Part 5.

Satsuki Iranami: Deva Marie Gregory

While she was a character that I found initially very irritating and she was definitely the one I had to warm to the most, I won’t deny that Satsuki Iranami is like 70% of the humour and happiness in this game. Similarly to Ibuki, she tends to act childish and make jokes in very tense situations and as described by Yuki as “a person that makes you tired just by talking with her” or something along those lines. Now, this might seem like a pretty obscure and strange choice for a VA, but my choice for a voice is Deva Marie Gregory. It’s obscure, since she is relatively new to the voice acting industry, only voicing one character in one franchise so far. However, that character is Flayn from Fire Emblem Three Houses, arguably one of the characters with the more comedic dialogue. I can totally picture her playing an “In-your-face” practical joker character like Satsuki, making common wisecracks, and it’s something I’d really like to bear witness to.

Mitsuhiro “Mitch” Higa: Joe Brogie

Possibly my least favourite character in this game, he’s essentially a worse version of Leon Kuwata from the first game. He’s genuinely kind of a chill guy, but his status as the Ultimate Soccer Player and his world fame makes him more than a little arrogant and cocky and often ignores people who he doesn’t care for. Joe Brogie is my choice for him, despite being a relatively new voice actor. His previous work includes the player character from God Eater 3, Linus from Fire Emblem Heroes, Donatello from Injustice 2 and Sylvain Jose Gautier from Fire Emblem Three Houses. However, despite his few roles and lacking history of voices, he’s talented and capable nonetheless.

Kizuna Tomori: Tia Ballard

Kizuna can be described in the following words: Cutesy, flirtatious and distrustful. I know those phrases sound mutually exclusive to each other, but trust me, it’s true. Obviously, her nature just changes depending on the situation, since she’s lighthearted and merry more often than not, but in a tense situation becomes suspicious, snappy and even physically violent. I picture her having a high voice, and when taking her character into account, I think the best bet is Tia Ballard. The main reason for my choice is that Tia’s most common voices belong to generally “moe” anime girls, but she voices them in a way that doesn’t sound annoyingly high pitched like how Stephanie Sheh does with Mikan in Danganronpa 2. If Ballard voiced Kizuna, she could pretty much perfectly land the “cutesy at first, but angry when provoked” attitude that Kizuna has. Some of her previous work includes Marron from Dragon Ball, Happy from Fairy Tail, Chiho Sasaki from The Devil is a Part Timer, Takao from D-Frag, Zero Two from Darling in the Franxx and has actually voiced in Danganronpa previously as Daisaku Bandai in Danganronpa 3.

Mikako Kurokawa: Brittany Cox

Extremely similarly to my choice for Satsuki, my choice for Mikako has also only ever been in one game, and it’s the same game as my choice for Satsuki actually. Mikako is a quiet person and she isn’t much of a talker, and when she does she sticks to short replies after long periods of silence, often causing people to forget she's around or becoming surprised when she eventually speaks up. She is unresponsive in a conversation and avoids making eye contact with anyone she talks to which seems rude, but her past explains why. The character Brittany Cox plays in Three Houses is Ingrid Galatea, who is generally a pretty merry, if a little serious and motherly, character, who’s personality isn’t a quiet one. However, while her voice acting is really good, Brittany Cox has a bit of a stoic, monotone and quiet voice, that I believe would fit Mikako perfectly.

Kinji Uehara: Robbie Daymond

There were a few reasons why I chose this person for this characters voice, but I’ll talk about those in a moment. Kinji is the good type of priest, one who is serious and quiet, but is a good listener, and respectful of people to a point where he doesn’t force his religious ideals onto others. However, when put under immense amounts of pressure, he can break down and turn somewhat psychotic. Hence my choice for his voice actor. Robbie Daymond is a personal favourite of mine, since he has a special talent of playing characters such as Goro Akechi and Hubert Vestra, from Persona and Three Houses respectively; characters who for the most part are calm, reserved, quiet and in Akechi’s case, somewhat kind. However, after certain points in the games stories, the two characters turn inexplicably evil and crazy, and the voice work and the shift in tone has such an amazing range that it’s hard to believe it’s the same guy. Seriously, look up Daymond’s work as Akechi, it’s honestly amazing and is the type of voice I’d honestly expect for Kinji when he breaks down. Alongside those two roles, Daymond also voices Prompto in Final Fantasy 15, Reinhard in RE:Zero, Professor Willow in Pokemon, Gilthunder in Nanatsu No Taizai and Mumen Rider in One Punch Man.

Kiyoka Maki: Colleen Clinkenbeard

A girl with a personality that doesn’t match her talent, Kiyoka Maki is outgoing and carefree and doesn’t have an awful lot of care for her talent, being way more interested in more effeminate things than guns. When I first saw Kiyoka and was introduced to her character, for some reason I thought “This is the type of character Colleen Clinkenbeard would voice.” Originally I was going to cast Clinkenbeard as Teruya before I realised Teruya wouldn’t necessarily have a child-like voice. Clinkenbeard however, does have experience of voicing male anime characters, and a lot of characters that scream a lot, Monkey D. Luffy from One Piece and Young Gohan being the prime examples. Alongside that, she’s also voiced another gunslinger in Full Metal Alchemist as Riza Hawkeye, as well as Momo Yaoyorozu in My Hero Academia, Rachel Moore in Case Closed, Erza Scarlet in Fairy Tail and previously in Danganronpa 3 as the loveable Chisa Yukizome.

Ayame Hatano: Karen Strassman

Ayame is a stoic and strong-willed person. Although she appears to be perfectly calm in most situations, she admits that she can be awkward especially during conversations, and as a result, she has a tendency to ramble and wander off in her own, or not talk much at all. To me, she seems like a character that someone like Karen Strassman would lend her voice to, since she’s played several characters with those personality traits before. To name a few, there’s Aigis and Nanako from Persona and she’s also voiced Anna in several Fire Emblem games. She’s also played Kallen Stadtfeld in Code Geass, Miyuki Takara in Lucky Star and Rouge the Bat in several Sonic the Hedghog games.

Kanata Inori: Felicia Angelle

I was also considering casting Tia Ballard for this character too, but unlike Kizuna, Kanata genuinely seems like a moe character that would have a high voice. Kanata is a sweet girl who wishes nothing more than the comfort of her patients and everyone else around her. Exceedingly formal and polite, she addresses her classmates as Mr or Ms, like how Hifumi Yamada does in the first game. My choice for her is Felicia Angelle, who’s repertoire consists of both cute and geeky anime girls, as well a little bit of the scary stuff too. This includes Tohru Hagakure from My Hero Academia, Perona from One Piece, The Supreme Kai of Time from Dragon Ball Xenoverse, Shinoa Hiragi from Seraph of the end, Shaltear from Overlord, Georgie from Maid Dragon and has previously been in the Danganronpa anime, playing Aoi Asahina.

Kakeru Yamaguchi: J Michael Tatum

I have a pretty good reason for this cast. Becoming a legal prodigy when he was quite young, Kakeru is a character who seems to have a split personality, but on a level way less extreme than that of Toko Fukawa. Essentially, he’s usually quite a timid and shy person, that finds it hard to hold a conversation, but when he’s in the courtroom or a class trial, he becomes quite loud and brash in a way similar to that of Nekomaru in the second game. His personality reminds me that of characters like Tenya Iida from My Hero Academia and Rei Ryugazaki from Free! both of whom are voiced by J Michal Tatum, whom is my choice for Kakeru. Tatum has also voiced Zarbon from Dragon Ball, Commander Erwin from Attack on Titan, Rintaro Okabe from Steins:Gate, Scar from Full Metal Alchemist, France from Hetalia and Sebastian from Black Butler.

Yamato Kisaragi: Max Mittleman

Yamato is almost as crazy an inventor as Miu, sans the whole sexual and perverted invention parts. Being a character who’s introduced a little later into the story, Yamato is pretty quirky, energetic and honestly friendly, but that leads people to be a little doubtful of him, Tsurugi in particular. His energetic character and his genuine feel make me think that someone who could voice him is Max Mittleman. Mittleman’s previous voices include Plag from Miraculous Ladybug, Ryuji Sakamoto from Persona, Saitama from One Punch Man, King from Natatsu No Taizai, Meruem in HunterXHunter and more

So that’s what I got. If you liked this, then leave me a heart and repost if you want. If you have any other recommendations for Japanese exclusive projects I should assign voice actors to, then let me know.

Ohshc Au Idea

- Ohshc Au where they all go to art school (both performing and drawing and stuff y’know (is it called visual??))

- Sort of like the same vibe as that show on Netflix called Backstage

- The school would be one of those super prestigious art schools like the Juilliard of their universe

- Tamaki would obviously be there to study piano

- he’d spend hours in the practice rooms and all of the other pianists hate him because he’s got some sort of superhuman power when it comes to booking practice rooms before anyone else

- Kyoya would be vocal performance with a minor in Broadway type acting (help I don’t know the actual terms)

- here I go again rambling about my Kyoya can sing headcanon that I will go down with

-Babey boy would probably be known as one of those people who can sing anything throughout the school

- Everyone from school can tell his voice apart from everyone else’s

- like if they walk past a practice room and hear him singing inside they can tell instantly that it’s him

- like picture this: a senior is giving a freshman a tour of the college and they walk past the practice rooms and inside practice room 3 the Freshman can hear someone singing in the best voice that they have ever heard. The freshman says to the senior with starstruck eyes “Who’s that??” “Ahh” the senior says “That’s Kyoya Ootori, he’s kind of a legend around here”

- Hikaru would be a Shakespearean type actor

- Like he has whole ass monologues on the tip of his tongue at any given moment

- He’s a super good actor however he can’t sing for shit so he could never be in a musical

- He’s secretly jealous because Kyoya can sing so well

- They’re secretly jealous of each other

-Kyoya wishes he could act as well as Hikaru and Hikaru wishes he could sing as well as Kyoya

- Kaoru would be the one to take over their mother’s business and would study fashion and clothing design

- Even though Hikaru is the eldest he had no interest in the family business and decided to pursue acting instead

- Luckily for the Hitachiin family Kaoru took to clothing design from a very early age

- He makes clothes for the rest of the hosts on a regular basis

-He makes all of the clothes that the hosts wear for their performances and art galleries and whatnot

- The drama department loves him because he makes all of their costumes

- Mori would be a sketch artist, a painter, and a sculptor

- He’d basically do everything in the art department from drawing to welding metal figures

- he doesn’t talk much so he communicates through his art as cheesy as that sounds

- He constantly has either paint on his clothes, clay under his nails, or both at the same time

- People in the general public are slightly concerned when he opens his bag and they see a blowtorch inside

- His metal sculptures are littered all across campus

- Some of these sculptures include but are not limited to: A giant replica of Mary Poppins, Patti Lupone (Kyoya legit cried when he saw this one), and a giant metal spider that the students have so aptly named Kenneth

- Kenneth lives on top of the Art building

- Despite the fact that he’s an art student he really loves showtunes and gets really excited to see/hear Kyoya sing them

- Honey is a culinary arts student

- His specialty is (obviously) desserts

- He makes the prettiest cakes and the most delicious meals

- He has to stand on a step ladder to make those giant wedding type cakes

- He constantly smells like a bakery... like constantly

- Haruhi is a violinist

- she treats her violin like a baby. She even keeps it in the child seat part of the cart when she goes to the grocery store

- She goes to the school on a violin scholarship

- She plays a cheap violin she got from a small music store when she was ten with her birthday/Christmas money that she had been saving for years

- The way she plays that cheap little violin you’d think it was a super nice expensive one

- She’s mostly self taught

- When she was young she couldn’t afford lessons so she taught herself to play

- She only began to take lessons when she got to high school

- I imagine when she isn’t playing classical for school her playing sounds a lot like Ada Pasternak

- Ada Pasternak Video: https://youtu.be/YQSzk44hBmk

undefined

youtube

- when they don’t live in the dorms they rent a fairly large house that they all live in together (like that house that Sam Golbach, Colby Brock, Corey Scherer, Aaron Doh, Devyn Lundy, Jake Webber, and Elton Castee lived in together)

- Tamaki has a whole ass grand piano in his room

- Nobody’s really sure how he got it in there

- He also has a keyboard that he brings around the house for jam sessions with the other hosts

- They have jam sessions in the living room

- Tamaki brings down his keyboard or he plays the little theatre piano that sits in their living room

- Haruhi brings down her little violin that she loves with all of her heart Kyoya would sing with them

- They’d do stuff like that Ada Pasternak video I put earlier in this post except instead of Haruhi singing it would be Kyoya

- Mori’s room legitimately would not be a bedroom

- It would be an art studio with a Mori sized bed in the corner and a theatre style clothing rack next to it

- he has like four easels all around the room and a desk covered in drawing pads, pencils, ink markers, colored pencils, oil paint, and random multicolored stains

- In the middle of the room he has a raised platform with whatever sculpture he’s currently working on sitting on top of it

- He has a shelf with all sorts of supplies in it

- He has like three different blowtorches, a huge array of paint brushes, different sharp things for his clay sculptures, hammers, a bunch of books on the history of art, and a dirty paint and clay covered apron with random burn holes in it

- Kyoya has like a whole arsenal of throat coat teas and herbal things in his room as well as a kettle and a hot plate

- In the corner he built a small room that only has room for one average sized person to go inside and coated the inside with sound proof padding and that’s where he practices belting and other different vocal techniques

- Kyoya absolutely loves their giant bathroom

- The acoustic qualities make him really excited he loves to sing in there

- Kyoya, Tamaki, and Haruhi sometimes jam in their fantastically acoustic bathroom because they are attracted to good acoustics the same way a moth is attracted to a bright light

- Hikaru has a whole library of scripts in his room

- like his bookshelves are just overflowing with scripts from all the plays he’s been in

- Some books on Shakespeare and the ins and outs of acting are scattered around the bookshelf too but it’s mostly scripts

- On his desk he keeps the script from the show that he’s currently in right in the middle of his desk with a pencil cup in the corner full of pens and highlighters

- He has a huge bulletin board in his room filled with pictures from different shows and different print outs of his favorite monologues and whatnot

- Kaoru’s room is similar to Mori’s in the sense that it’s barely a bedroom at all

- He has a small bed and a small dresser and the rest of the space is filled with his work

- He has a huge desk that is covered in scraps of fabric, scissors, and measuring tape

- He has a HUGE pin cushion in the corner that would be an absolute hazard if it fell to the ground

- Above his desk is a giant bulletin board similar to Hikaru’s except his is less of a collage and more of an idea board

- It’s full of sketches for new designs and has the occasional magazine clipping or inspirational quote

- Honey basically lives in the kitchen

- His room only has a bed and a dresser and a few ginormous bookshelves

- on these bookshelves are countless numbers of cookbooks

- 90% of what’s on these bookshelves is actually just regular notebooks and journal type things full of recipes that Honey has come up with himself

- The kitchen is HIS domain none of the other hosts ever use it other than to get the occasional glass of water or snack here and there

- They basically eat gourmet every night

- He cooks all of their meals and uses them as his guinea pigs

- Luckily for them 99% of the time his food is absolutely delicious

- Their house is full of just bits and pieces of what they do

- Mori’s artwork decorates the entire place

- The centerpiece for their table is a bouquet of metal flowers that Mori made

- His paintings decorate the walls and some of his sculptures sit as decorations in some of the different rooms

- There is sheet music literally all over the house

- nobody bats an eye when hey find the crescendo piece of a classical violin song on the kitchen table

- or when they find the lyrics to a classical opera song jammed in between the couch cushions

- Kaoru will often use Haruhi as his model for his dresses

- he’ll have her put on a tank top and bike shorts and literally build a dress onto her body and by the end she’s walking around the house in a whole ass Victorian style ballgown

- God help their house if Kyoya gets sick before a performance

- The amount of throat coat tea he consumes is absolutely unreal

- He has a little table with shelves behind it in his room with a tea kettle and a hot plate on it

- on the shelves behind it are boxes upon boxes of throat coat and herbal tea and a whole arsenal of mugs

- The house always smells like cooking food because Honey lives in the kitchen and is always cooking something or other

-When it doesn’t smell like food it smells like burning metal because Mori is always working on some sort of metal sculpture with one of his countless blowtorches

- This boy legit keeps a fire extinguisher in his bedroom in case he sets something on fire with said blowtorch

- Christmas season is absolutely wonderful in their house

- Tamaki and Haruhi are playing Christmas songs

- Kyoya is singing them

- Honey is making all sorts of festive dishes (You should see him on Thanksgiving he goes absolutely ham (pun intended))

- Kaoru is making festive outfits

- Mori makes each and every one of their Christmas decorations

- and Hikaru is practicing his lines for the production of A Christmas Carol that he’s in every year (This is his fourth time playing Scrooge!)

- But all in all this is a house where creativity flourishes and they all boost each other’s creativity to the max

- and of course they all graduate and become extremely successful and stay close knit forever

BONUS:

- Renge is also a vocalist she performs with Kyoya very often

- Kasanoda is a ballet student

- People are surprised he does something so graceful and elegant because he looks scary but when you really think about it it fits his personality

- Nekozawa is a poet (Edgar Allan Poe 2.0)
