Tbh, I'm someone who hasn't explored chapter 4 much (despite how much I love Gonta) and even avoided thinking about it and even skipped it on replay. The main reason is that it was just too painful. Literally made me sick to my stomach, more than any other Danganronpa trial I think. I don't know if maybe that plays a part in other people's avoidance of it too—that it's just too raw of a wound. I really really liked Miu Gonta and Kokichi, so seeing the roles all of them in this case broke my heart. It just hurt so badly, I hated even contemplating it, tbh.

Anon I couldn't empathize with you more. I'm currently going through all the DR games with a friend, and although we're halfway through dr2 and I'm very excited to start v3 with her, I'm feeling a lot of dread about playing 3-4 again. I've talked to her a few times how there is a part of the third game that I might not play with her because It might just be too much for me. I haven't touched it with someone else since I first played it. Certain parts of trial 4 STILL give me heart palpitations from the anxiety and it took me a long time after I finished it to be able to face it again. I honestly still don't get how some people take certain parts of it so lighthearted, but also I know not everyone took it so viscerally as I and it sounds like you did anon. (ie: people using "Killing Game Busters" casually to refer to gonta and kokichi as if the phrase doesn't manifest deep dread in my soul)

Its a brutal trial, no one is having a good time, there is no feeling of gentle sadness of an almost heroic act like in the previous ch4s. Gonta dies with a determined look on his face but his last words were self deprecating. Kaito is more angry than we've ever seen him, and Kokichi alienates himself from everyone as the villain. There's no win. Its just viscerally, deeply upsetting and it feels like you're constantly getting salt ground into your wounds.

But weirdly, I found that after I finished that trial, cried my eyes out, and woke up the next morning, rather than never wanting to think about it again I found that I couldn't *stop* thinking about it. I kinda leaned all the way in and am simultaneously constantly replaying it in my head and wincing away from certain parts that still trigger the fight or flight response in me. I really was a more casual DR fan until this trial. Finishing it rewired my brain chemistry and I haven't been the same since.

Exercises for all the homies who want to have a long career drawing.

The true problem with being an artist and drawing all day (as I wanted my whole life) is that human backs are not designed to hold that position, so it is very common for artists and designers to have really stiff shoulder blades, creating a chain of muscle strain towards the arm AND the back... and a lot of pain.

These are some physical exercises for artists and honestly anyone who works at a desk.

just cactus ring things ya know

What is honor compared to a woman’s love? What is duty against the feel of a newborn son in your arms… or the memory of a brother’s smile? Wind and words. Wind and words. We are only human, and the gods have fashioned us for love. That is our great glory, and our great tragedy.

Jon Snow - and family that haunts him, because sometimes ghosts make for the best love stories.

Flash Warning!

The demogorgon… it got meh.

family portrait :D young sam and sybil are behaving themselves and vimes is throwing a hissy fit because they tried to make him wear the helmet

[id: a digital painting of three people sitting for a portrait in a domestic interior. young sam is standing with his hands behind his back and beaming proudly. vimes is standing behind him with his hand on his shoulder, wearing a shiny military uniform and a surly expression. sybil is sitting on the right with an arm around young sam, smiling at the viewer. a plumed helmet is sitting on a table on the left. end id.]

Sometimes I forget that this man is like in the top 3 of "most tragic Hatchetfield characters"

Like no, this fucker does not deserve to be written like that, this bastard of a man does not deserve to die all the damn time and leave his younger bro to cry in their shared apartment every single night, wondering where the man he looks up to a lot has gone, not knowing he's never coming back, cause some other bastard decided he needed a blorbo!!

I refuse to believe that Theodore fucking Spankoffski is this much of a tragic character, when his whole character is just horny and dying!

YOU CAN'T TELL ME THAT A MAN WHO IS DOWN SO BAD HE WOULD CANONICALLY BECOME A FURRY, JUST HAS TO WATCH THE LOVE OF HIS LIFE DIE IN HIS ARMS AND GET TURNED INTO A BROKEN HOMELESS MAN WHO "GETS PRETTY SCARY SOMETIMES"

F me fr man, the Langs made me care for a man I wish to stay whole towns away from if he was real

azula as zuko’s evil advisor is so funny to me i actually fuck so hard w this concept. she gives zuko advice and then zuko looks across the room to sokka and sokka just discreetly gives him a thumbs up or thumbs down. one weekend sokka, aang, mai, toph, suki, katara, and anyone else who might have a modicum of common sense all go out of town for like. omashu coachella or smth. and when they come back the entire palace is in shambles, zuko’s just sitting on his throne shinji style, and he’s just like “i’m so sorry….. her advice seemed so cogent….. she made trickle down economics seem so reasonable……. why weren’t you there….. YOU SHOULD HAVE BEEN THERE, GODDAMMIT!!!!!!!” while azula slyly sips from a cunty chalice she had personally made just for moments like this.

judgement day 🌕

there's something about the way buck opens the door to let tommy in and then immediately goes into the kitchen under the guise of getting a beer when what he actually does (consciously or not) is using the kitchen island as a barrier between him and tommy. because he doesn't know why tommy is there but he has, as far as he knows, already been rejected by him several times so he wants to protect himself from that happening again. but then tommy tells him that there's no way he can ever replace buck's place in eddie's or christopher's lives and what does buck do? he almost immediately relaxes and moves away from behind the kitchen island and into the same space as tommy, open and curious, inching closer and closer with every word they exchange because this clearly isn't a rejection and tommy is giving buck his full attention and buck can't help himself from giving into that gravitational pull nor does he want to
