This was totally on impulse. I really love how it turned out, it was my first time successfully using white lashes, so hurray for that. I currently have a poll up on my Instagram comparing my both my Komaeda cosplays from 2020 and. 2022, so if you’d like to put your two cents in on that be my guest.
I’ve had insane amounts of inspiration lately, but so little time, and the school year is about to start yet again… I’m dreading it, but I know that I need my education purely for the fact that I’m learning technical skills that I desperately need. Things like pro paper-mache, poly-thermal plastics, sewing classes, pattern making classes… I started this blog in the hopes of learning and sharing all of these skills with the world. I know I’m pretty slow on posting, but I’m gearing up to learn how to maximize my time so I can keep doing what I love, and continue sharing it with you all.
Alright, bye for now!! I’ll post in an infodump about a special antique sewing machine I’m trying to get my grimy little paws on. She’s part of the cosplay studio I’m working on putting together!
🌋Dangan Ronpa is pretty embarassin' across the board, but unfortunately every single character from it can be interpreted as a system so it's gotta death grip on us
Being into danganronpa is so funny cause sometimes Ill look at canon spinoff stuff like the anime and come out the other end actively feeling worse about liking this game
I love me some Komahina! I ended up shipping them after encountering an abundance of fanart for them before and during my first DR2 playthrough, and their canon interactions made me love them even more! I absolutely love how they narratively foil each other perfectly. The ending of Danganronpa 3 where Hajime moves on from Chiaki, his past, to join up with Nagito, his future, makes me dramatically explode. Not to mention Nagito's line in chapter 4, "I know you don't matter at all, so why do I still care about you?" is so FIRE I could roast marshmallows on that quote! Overall, their complexities make them so fun to ramble about, and they're a super interesting n sweet pairing at the end of the day. Me n my boyfriend looked at these two and thought 'they just like us frfr.' We even have our respective cosplays of them, with me as Hajime and him as Nagito!
I believe that everyone who volunteers for V3 is an identical twin. One goes into the killing game and the other is used for marketing and interviews before, during, and after the game, their memories being altered depending on what's needed from each interview.
If the V3 team has access to the technology to alter memories, they wouldn't waste it on something that's going to die never to make money from it again. There's way more money in just hiring twins, altering both their memories, and having one die so they can use the other in perpetuity.
It fits Kaede having a twin sister, except Tsumugi wasn't talking about the Ultimate pieanist, she just didn't tell them that, in reality, they all had twins. For the earlier games where they weren't done in reality and were just in print, Tsumugi would do the interviews and merch in cosplay.
But now there are 3 survivors and a dead cosplayer which poses a problem. Do they already have copies of Maki, Himiko, and Shuichi? Did they plan ahead enough in the DR team to know who was going to survive and so hired non-twins for those roles? If not, are they happy to have doubles or not? Were the twins meant for interviews now programmed with the wrong ending as it went so wrong and now the doubles have different ideas of what happened?
As for Tsumugi being dead, that poses a huge problem and a huge possibility. They need the DR1 and DR2 cast replaced in their roster at least. The response to losing that much of the cast would probably be a series reboot. DRV4 and DRV5 would be reboots of DR1 and DR2, allowing you to get people who look like the characters from both series back on the roster and recover from V3.
After reboots are established, any other characters on the roster that need replacing can be brought back through a reboot any time you want.
