DANGAN-WALKERS
I made a Danganronpa Wolfwalkers au! It's not super fleshed out yet, but here's a list of which characters are wolfwalkers in each class and a lil bit about them!
THH
Mondo- OG wolfwalker alongside his brother, Daiya died protecting him from an overzealous hunter instead and he's been very protective of those he cares about since then. The Crazy Diamonds + Taka are his pack
Taka- bitten in an incident he doesn't like talking about, hid it from everyone out of shame. Mondo helps him loosen up and teaches him to be proud of his identity, eventually leading to him joining Mondos pack and becoming more confident in himself.
Yasuhiro- OG wolfwalker alongside his mom. Very casual about it, which also helps Taka feel more comfortable with himself. Doesn't really care about making a pack and mostly uses his wolf form to try to catch the scent of valuables.
Byakuya- unknown. refuses to talk about his personal life aside from his family line, doesn't take naps, and alters his scent with expensive cologne. Wolfwalkers in general appear to cause him great discomfort, as he subtly changes the subject when they're mentioned and Kiyoko once caught him with a disturbed expression at the sight of Hiros wolf form. It's unclear if its a trauma response, if he is one himself, or if he's simply bigoted towards them.
SDR2
Nagito- bitten during the harmful portion of his luck cycle shortly before his first day at Hopes Peak. Uncomfortably casual about it and the Warriors of Hope treated his wolf form like a pet dog. He sees the rest of his class as his pack, but a majority of them don't feel the same way.
Hajime- turned during the Izuru experimentation to include the possibility of wolf based talents. He's accepted it and uses it to assist his other wolfwalker classmates better. Sees Fuyuhiko as part of his pack and is one of the few who accepts Nagito as a pack member as well.
Kazuichi- bitten as a child, which only added to his old man's abuse and left him ashamed of his identity. Kept it secret until he met his other wolfwalker classmates and grew more comfortable with himself.
His obsession with Sonia dies down significantly once he's more comfortable with himself & grows closer to Gundham and the other wolfwalkers. Insecure and believes he doesn't deserve a pack.
Gundham- OG wolfwalker alongside his mom, dad was not a wolfwalker and left them early on as he didn't accept them as they were. Felt isolated for a very long time until he got into Hope's Peak and met others of his kind, which helped him come out of his shell and loosen up a little. None of his animals are afraid of his wolf form and can sometimes be seen riding on his back. He eventually sees Sonia and Kazuichi as members of his pack.
V3
Gonta- bitten after getting lost in the woods. Very open about it and spends a lot of time in wolf form. Still large and a little intimidating in wolf form, but tends to act more like a giant puppy. Sees the whole class as his pack.
Kokichi- OG wolfwalker, D.I.C.E is his pack. Keeps his identity a a secret and only goes into his wolf form at night to maintain his persona. The only ones who know are the other wolfwalkers, as his scent gives him away. He tries not to get close with anyone, but the wolfwalkers in his class are particularly determined to get him to open up.
Kaito- bitten during a camping trip with his grandparents, fully embraces his identity as a new way to help others and is loud & proud about it. Sees sidekicks as pack members and is more eager to recruit those who are struggling.
Rantaro- bitten during his adventures and doesn't mind it at all. Goes out on expeditions in wolf form a lot in an attempt to catch his sister's scents and find them faster. Very familial and accepts the other wokfwalkers as his pack, very good at making pack members feel safe and comforted.

A whopping, like, 2.6 people have expressed interest in my recent adventures in watching Bean films, which is all the encouragement I need to present to you:
An Incomplete Guide to Sean Bean Roles (Investigation Ongoing)
Our guy has a vast filmography, and I'm not even close to being halfway through it, but I've watched a lot of his significant ones in the past few weeks thanks to a perfect storm of illness, injury, and lapses in client work. Crucially, I have created superlatives for a variety of them and present them here for your benefit. Disclaimer: many of these films are violent! Or have butts and/or tits! Some have dick! Some have dated bits that didn't age well! So, if you have triggers or are watching with young viewers, do your research first! Also, these are just the opinions of one solitary millennial! Nothing is objective! Nothing is real! I care not!
Okay, CYA done, let's begin. I'll get the two most obvious ones out of the way up front, otherwise they'll dominate half the categories:
ACT I
Greatest Bean:
Fellowship of the Ring. I've said it before and I'll say it again, he achieved more pathos with Boromir than a lot of his other roles have allowed for, and every note he hits just sings. No debate.
Best Bean for Your Buck:
Sharpe. For the best confluence of quantity, quality, physicality, emotion, humor, and action, you can't beat Richard Sharpe.
Favorite Dramatic Bean:
Time; he earned that BAFTA fr
Softest Bean:
The first date scene in Stormy Monday, where Brendan shyly gets to know Kate, slow dances with her, lends her a shirt and strokes her back after she asks if they can just go to sleep instead of have sex.
Most Dashing Bean:
Vronsky in Anna Karenina, that uniform cuts, damn
Swooniest Bean:
I know I'm supposed to say Chatterley, and he is undeniably sexy as Mellors, but there are parts where his character is actually kind of off-putting. I'll lay a good chunk of the blame on the weirdly ominous score, the very of-the-time depiction of dubious consent, and Joely Richardson's tendency to look like she's having the worst time of her life while shagging the hot gamekeeper. No, I'm giving this category to Stormy Monday again. He's just so gentle and genuine in this one, without some of the obligatory "heartthrob" overtones of his nineties stuff. He never raises his voice at Kate or manhandles her. He really does feel like some kid who just wants to be sweet to his girlfriend.
Laddiest Bean:
When Saturday Comes, specifically the strip club and bathtub scenes.
Favorite Sad Bean:
As a collective, he has some great grief scenes in World on Fire, but! The railroad track scene in When Saturday Comes?! That was RAW.
Favorite Mad Bean:
Black Death; there are plenty of movies where he doesn't smile at all, but unlike some others, his grimness and anger felt proportionate to the story, rather than just rage because he's good at rage.
Favorite Bad Bean:
There are so many great Bean villains (Goldeneye, obvs), but I think my favorite is Patriot Games. Bonus points for all the different hairstyles he has in this film (long locks-shag-shag ponytail!-buzz-wet spiky buzz). Also HUGH FRASER AAAA
Favorite Dad Bean:
Wolfwalkers, where Bill Goodfellowe literally turns his own convictions and beliefs upside-down in order to protect and support his daughter.
INTERMISSION
A note on GoT: I haven't watched it. When season one was first coming out, it was during a time where I really couldn't handle watching any kind of sexual assault onscreen, and while I have a higher tolerance now, I just... don't want to. I like seeing gifs of Ned Stark and appreciate that it's one of his great roles, but I just can't make myself take the plunge.
ilysm you grizzled dead wolf man
ACT II
Favorite Costumed Bean:
Odysseus in Troy: curls, leather, thighs.
Favorite Un-Costumed Bean:
He strips in quite a lot of his films, so let's give it to Lady Chatterley for sheer screentime, exertion, and the bonus of being naked and wearing a flower crown. Honorable mention to When Saturday Comes for the totally not homoerotic amount of butts and also dick in the locker room bathtub scene.
Hurtin'est Bean:
Bravo Two Zero. Oof, don't watch this one if you have an aversion to seeing pain, although---you're a Sean Bean fan, and we all know one of his MOs is being GREAT at pain. This one was directed by Tom Clegg, who directed Sharpe. Also lol at the sickle-shaped wound on his shoulder, which is covering his 100% Blade tattoo (he gets a lot of sickle-shaped wounds on his left shoulder).
Best Inside References:
The Frankenstein Chronicles, where he plays a former Peninsular soldier, and every reference to his service is a reference to Sharpe, including shots of his greenjacket, pistol, sword, and flogging scars. Honorable mention to The Martian for the Council of Elrond line.
Most Unsettling Bean:
Cleanskin for moral grayness, The Frankenstein Chronicles for body horror
Most Inefficient Use of Bean:
Black Beauty. Despite getting high billing he's only onscreen for about two minutes and I'm convinced the long shots are a body double. Criminal.
Biggest Missed Opportunity:
We were robbed of a Sean Bean Odyssey. R o b b e d
Funniest Bean:
Deploying Bean for comedy is woefully underused, but he made full use of his ~15 seconds in The Vicar of Dibley ("Spring" episode). He's also hilarious in Wasted, though I haven't watched the show, only the clips he's in on YouTube, where he plays a mock version of himself serving as a spirit guide for a stoner. IMO, though, Sharpe gives him the most room for humor.
Favorite Character Quirk:
In World on Fire, when Douglas is having WWI flashbacks and really coming apart, he kept putting his hand to his mouth. My modern brain first read this as talking into a phantom radio, but of course that wasn't right, and then I realized--he was reaching for a phantom gas mask. CHILLS. AMAZING. (Honorable mentions to the Mouth Rub and the Tongue Thing [pictured above]).
Most Nostalgic Bean:
National Treasure. The concept may be utter silliness, but you have to admit, this is a fun movie to watch.
Best Dismount from a Horse:
Henry VIII, he goes pshwing out of the saddle
Best Swordplay:
You may think there's no possible answer to this, but there is---two moments, specifically: the preparatory sword-spin he does at Balin's tomb just before the goblin attack in Moria, and the four lunges he does at 1:26:22 of Sharpe's Battle. It's just facts.
Prettiest Bean Film:
Wolfwalkers, hands downnnn
Favorite Bean Death:
All right, you knew we had to eventually end here. It's Boromir, obviously--- nothing tops that. But if we're looking at other roles, I think Patriot Games is my favorite, followed by Goldeneye.
So! That concludes this installment of Bean films, though I'll be continuing the labor, and I hope you will, too. What are your favorites?
