some info first// HELLO.
What do i even say, I replayed Danganronpa: Goodbye Despair and my brain went ballistic
Um š§š½
this is going to be a VERY long post but I hope anyhow enjoyable for you. For context, I was into Danganronpa a lot, when I decided to actually post my art in the internet! It kinda. Launched me into having more followers. Then it sort of melted, the interest, so I stopped and suddenly it hit me again, two years later!!! So. I decided to do something bigger and wrote a prologue of a fanfic!! I donāt know about the frequency of posting it or anything, for now it is what it is.
It will be called āTaken good care of.ā and will be komahina centred:) sorry, I know this ship is kinda overrated and over popular, clichĆ© if you may, but I really like it :(
I wonāt tell you too much for now, youāll see how the prologue goes. What I absolutely have to say is that. English is not my first language and I think it shows real bad?? My grammar sucks and I do write poorly, when it comes to verbs n such. I hope it wonāt make your eyes bleed, cause frankly, I just wanna share this!! I used to write a lot for myself usually, but I never actually shared those works anywhere. Not in English at least :)
Okay so having that said, I think Iām gonna jump straight into posting this! Gonna mention straight away and Iāll also put the tags about those warnings: post game spoilers, cancer, ed. If I find anything else or if I forgot anything, Iāll put all my efforts to fill it up immediately! So yeah, enjoy!! š„°
oh yeah and I made little illustrations along the story! āŗļø
{Prologue}Taken good care of.
Upon finding out about the state of the world we were stuck in, there was no other way for us, rather than go back to the island. Given what we have done, weād rather contain each other, rather than it being done by anyone else. Maybe someday we will- no. Maybe someday the world will be ready to welcome us back again. For now, we could celebrate on our own. Becauseā¦ After all, we had a reason to, right?
Without having motives and deadlyā¦ bear robots constantly giving us reasons to doubt each other, we were all less scared to live on the empty Jabberwock. Although we knew we had a lot of adjusting to do. Unlike the simulation, the islands had no bridges! That meant learning how to travel via motorboats, which Kazuichi managed to put together for us. Except a couple of times my motorboat whipped out (with me onboard), it was easy to learn and before realising it, we began to race each other at bay.
We already knew the power we held as a group. These people became my family quicker than I thought, even if I was never their classmate to begin with. About thatā¦
It was weird to āmake amendsā with Izuru. Itās not like we fought for who gets to stay; it was more likeā¦ just being at peace with myself. Izuru became part of me, peacefully. It felt natural, but stillā¦ It was bizarre at some point. Suddenly I was Ultimateā¦ everything! Though no one intended to call me this. Hell, neither did I. Ultimate Hope sounded powerful enough. But suddenly, I was able to help Kazuichi with those boats, when I have never handled a wrench properly before. I managed to guide him, Fuyuhiko, Akane and Sonia to help me wake the others. It would literally take YEARS and at least three ultimates to come up with the emergency plan and learn to execute it properly. Like- surely some Ultimate Neurologist? Analyst? Programmer? I couldnāt get used to the fact that I alone was able to do what these people would have to work over, for a very long time.
Wellā¦ I guess itās the result that counts. When we successfully woke up TeruTeru and Byakuya, Kazuichi called me Ultimate Jesusā¦ I didnāt know if I was more offended or amused by this silly nickname.
Anyhow, our new life on islands started after arriving at Jabberwock. We parked the yacht in the port and left it until it was safe to go back. If ever. For now, it was island time.
We had to do a little cleaning here and there. Improving the environment would surely improve our wellbeing! At least thatās what I thought. Within just a month, the paths on islands were clean again and flowers and trees were in bloom. Sky seemedā¦ a little bluer. As some say, nature was healing. Next step was taking care of the buildings. Some of them looked like theyāre rotting; that had to be fixed quickly. Of course a building canāt rot, but you get what I mean.
Sonia took good care of library restoration along with a few helpers and before we knew it, our islands gained a cozy hangout and chill area. It worked the same way with everything else.

āHonestly, if you wanted, you could fix everything in like, two days dude!ā Kazuichi commented, when I walked him to the electric avenue. I smirked lightly, shaking his head.
āAnd thatās exactly why Iām allowing you guys to do it.ā
āThatās some Usami-kinda-shit. You want us to cooperate to tighten our friendships or something?ā My friend continued to joke around, full of life.
āYou could say that! Besides, you were stuck in the capsules for a dangerous amount of time. Itās necessary to shake up your muscles and wake them up a little.ā I shrugged with a simple explanation. Though my words seemed to fly over Kazuichiās head a little. He began to mumble that itās weird how muscles have to be stimulated, how bodybuildersā muscles donāt disappear once builtā¦
āWell- how do you spend the days anyway??? You were sleeping too!ā He blurted out suddenly, which made me jump a little. Afterwards, I smiled at him.
āYou can call me Ultimate Supervisor for the moment.ā I let out a soft giggle. Kazuichi let out a quiet screech, messing up his cap and hair with his hands as he ruffled himself.
āI canāt with you man!! I will NEVER get used to this shit.ā He whined at me but quickly shook it off, seeing Mahiru waving to him from a distance; after waving back at her, he turned to me, fixing his attire.
āLet me guess. Thatās where we part ways.ā
āI was gonna say that! Goddamn you, Hajimeā¦ yes. Thatās where we part ways. Thereās a lot of electronics to clean and repair in those stores.ā Kazuichi hummed, glaring at the avenue.
āI wonāt be stopping youā¦ just be careful with the wires.ā I said calmly, waving as my friend was skipping steps to Mahiru and shouting to me, that we will see each other at lunch.
I breathed in and out deeply, turning around and beginning my everyday morning walk. I had to make sure everyoneās efforts were fruitful. Thatās how almost every day looked like, for me and.. it started to get very boring. Ever since we woke up, I noticed Iām easily bored. That probably connects to Izuru. I remember brief images from his perspective and his feelings accompanying them; sometimes they creep me in the night. Izuru was bored by everything, because he knew everything. I often wonder, if his brain worked to the fullest? If weāre told we only use 10% of oursā¦
āHEY!! Watch it!!ā I heard as my ears perked up immediately, pulling my head up. There were moments when something unexpected happened and my brain could calmly feed on it. This was one of those moments. The noises and raised voices came from the hospitalās side!
I rushed there quickly, worried, what couldāve happened, seeing a scene unfold before my eyes. Akane was pulling up a whole table from Nagito who seemed to be stuck under it. Obviously, the bright smile never disappeared from his face.

āYouāre such a dumbass- I told you all to not touch those tables!ā Akane kept screaming, while Mikan gently pulled Nagito out.
āMy my, I became a burden once again..!ā
āAll it took was leaving the biggest table to me, thatās what I was saying from the beginning!ā
āI wonder what biiig luck awaits me after this enormous table falling on me-ā
āSHUT THE HELL UP!!ā
I saw that Akane was ready to throw hands, so I decided to intervene before Nagitoās spine actually breaks.
āWhatās happening? Is everyone okay?ā I asked, interrupting. All three heads turned to me with mixed expressions and eventually, the whole trio smiled at me. Could it be, I also possess the skill of Ultimate Peacemaker? Or maybeā¦ Ultimate Happiness?
ā¦sometimes I feel like Iām going too far.
āIt is now! Nagito could use more hearing sometimes though.ā Akane explained, rubbing the back of her head. Mikan agreed with her, making a small and rather shy nod.
āT-True.. we were cleaning up t-the on-call room. In-In case weād need more rooms. Akane told us she will pick up the table that- blocked the majority of the room.ā She added, allowing Akane to continue.
āAnd then we saw Nagito carrying it out purely on his own! Itās like 6 times heavier than him! When I pointed it out to him, he lost his balance and collapsed with the table falling right on him!!ā
āIt-Itās a miracle his spine is- is whole!ā The girls talked over each other, while Nagito stood on the side calmly, swaying from side to side.
āUhm, I donāt recall thatā¦ at all. Oh well; it is what it is! I only blame myself, Akane, donāt worry.ā He let out a soft laugh, to which Akane reactedā¦ much.
āUh- Duh!? I blame you too!!ā She bounced aggressively at him. I reached out my hands, trying to chill her down.
āOkay, okay- letās not fight. Nagito is in one piece, thankfully. Next time heās going to listen to you more. Is that correct, Nagito?ā I asked, squinting at him. Mr. Happy-go-Lucky nodded a couple of times, rubbing his cheek awkwardly.
āI will listen to you with every muscle in my ears.ā He promised, putting his hands together. The conflict seemed to have been solved. I was about to walk off, seeing how Akane and Nagito got back to cleaning, before someone stopped me.
āH-Hajime!-ā I turned around, only to face Mikan. As usual, she seemed awfully unnerved. Or paranoid.
āYes? Can I help you?ā I asked softly, to which the girl looked around, fidgeting with her hands.
āIā¦ I really would hate to bother you- and I donāt want to at all- so if youāre, by any chance, busy, I will refrain of course-ā
āIām completely free, please go on.ā I insisted very calmly. Mikan simply nodded with a nervous matter, swallowing quickly and glared around.
āUmā¦ is it okay if weā¦ uhmā¦ itāsā¦ complicatedā¦ā she whispered, getting all mixed up, seemingly. I looked at her calmly, before understanding. She wanted to talk in private with me.
āHmm.. if itās this kind of matter, maybe we could go to the cafĆ© on the second island? Does that sound good?ā I proposed, and Mikan agreed happily and relieved she didnāt have to ask that herself. We waved our goodbyes to Akane and Nagito before finally departing.
When in the empty cafƩ, I decided to put my talents in use again and started preparing us coffee, using a professional coffee machine. Calm music was playing from the speakers, while I got tickled by the steam clouds that left the machine, when I foamed up the milk, humming. Mikan watched me carefully; I thought to myself she enjoyed it a lot.
āNot to flex, but itās like, the first time Iām making coffee like that.ā I smirked, trying to engage Mikan to talk. The girl tilted her head and smiled awkwardly, eventually giggling quietly.
āGoshā¦ itāsā¦ unbelievable. That you have all those talents. It must be such a burden on your shoulders..ā she blurted out, still watching my hands.
āBurdenā¦ I guess. It doesnāt feel that heavy, actually. Iām just bored a lot; my brain doesnāt have too much to chew on.ā I denied softly, placing the cups on their respective plates and carried the coffee to the table.
āDid you know that 12 cups of coffee with- well- regular dose of caffeine- is most definitely a- a deadly dose?ā To my pleasant surprise, Mikan said something on her own, as she sat down at the table with me. It was a good feeling to see her self-esteem improve. I smiled at the coffee funfact she told me. I knew, obviously, but after allā¦ Iām a well-mannered man.

āIs that so? That's curious. I canāt imagine drinking this much coffee at once.ā I answered calmly, raising a cup to my lips to take a sip. Mikan did the same thing, letting out a bright hum.
āI donātā¦ I donāt really drink coffee. I have a very- very fast b-blood pressure anyway.. though when youāre around, t-the whole world seems to slow down.ā She admitted happily. I took that as a complimentā¦ My friends told me that often. Again, it probably had to do with one of the talents. āNagito is right w-when he refers to y-you as.. as Ultimate Serenity. And.. speaking of Nagito.. Iā¦ I wanted to talk about him.ā
My happy little sips stopped as soon as Mikan mentioned that Nagito is part of this matter. Hell, maybe even not only the part. Maybe he is the main subject. Or the causeā¦? I raised my eyes to look at Mikanās face, setting down my coffee cup and blinking slowly.
āā¦alright. Feel free to tell me everything I need to know.ā I spoke gently. I had to do absolutely everything for Mikan to feel comfortable enough to talkā¦ who knows how serious the issue was.
Mikan meanwhile, took another small sip of coffee and put away the cup, setting her hands together, right on her lap, before speaking up.
āI-I reckonā¦ you- you were.. you seemed close to himā¦? A-Anyhowā¦ Iā¦ I canāt help but- to feelā¦ t-to be concerned about Nagito! H.. His health.ā Mikan explained roughly, gesturing a lot. I listened to what she had to say, tilting my head. At first, I thought Mikan was telling me that Nagito caught a cold or somethingā¦ until I remembered what happened, when we were in a coma.
āRightā¦ I talked to Nagito in the simulation. He told me about being diagnosed with.. f.. frontotemporal dementia and lymphoma. But then he backed out and said it was just a lie. Iām not sure if these were lies or no, but thatās what I can tell you. It slipped my mind completely, but since youāre a nurse, you mustāve noticed something. Could you tell me more?ā I asked in a worried tone. Of course I was worried about Nagitoā¦ he used to say weird stuff after waking up, but since he was no longer planning any murders, he became more tolerable.
Mikan bit her lower lip, looking away.
āO-Oh myā¦ Iā¦ I had no ideaā¦ e-even though I suspected something- no healthy humanā¦ could produce white hairā¦ n-not in his age at least! O-Of course old people- and- genetics mess it up sometimes b-butā¦ his hair s-seems to have had a normal c-colour before.ā
āYup, theyāre sort ofā¦ light pink mixed with light brown on endsā¦ā
āB-Besidesā¦ that table situation. Umā¦ F-Fuyuhikoā¦ was able to lift that table up with ease, a few days prior. And- he is definitely weakerā¦ than Nagito. L-lighter tooā¦ Nagito should be able to c-carry it out with ease.. m-meanwhile he.. was sweating profusely. As if he wasā¦ very laboured from lifting it.ā
Hm.. that was new. I remembered Nagito having a lot of energy and strength. Butā¦ These memories were from the program again. Not only our avatars were our younger selves; it was all just a simulation and played in our minds and a fake environment.
āH-Hajimeā¦? Iā¦ I hate to bother you with this, b-but- if you could.. take a look at Nagito for me? I- I just- I need to confirm my worries!- O-Only if you- you donāt have to of course!-ā Mikan got nervous again, stomping her feet against the floor. I coughed quietly, sitting up straight and smiled at Mikan calmly.
āCalm down, please. Of course I will check him out. You did well, informing me about it, thank you.ā I answered her, making sure she was praised generously. Truthfully, her observations were absolutely crucial. I was so focused with all matters regarding islands and their restoration after The Tragedy, that I forgot about checking up on my friends. And if one of them was in dangerā¦ I had to ensure their safety.
When the Sun finally settled, I decided to go for a small, not at all suspicious walk on the beach. I was originally heading to my motorboat though. In our simulation, the second island contained some sort of ancient ruins, overgrown by plants and when we left, the building looked similar to the ruins - but modern. At the moment, we use it as our archive, not only collecting the past, but also preserving the current times. For the future.
The goal of my visit to the archive was obvious! I had to collect Nagitoās documents. Especially medical record, for Mikan to go through. I could read it too obviously, but truth be toldā¦ I wanted them all to still feel useful and needed, even in my presence. I thought it was the obvious reason why I allowed them all to work on their own and I hoped it was appreciated by them. At least a little.
I hopped on the motorboat and swam away from the main island. Eventually I looked behind to notice dim lights of the cottages in the hotel. Eventually, most of them went out, meaning everyone went to sleep. I couldnāt help but smile at that. Thatā¦ had to be the peace we all dreamed of.

āWeāve made it. Iām so sorry you canāt see it.ā I whispered, raising my head to stare at the night sky, filled with sparkling stars. Chiakiā¦ I missed her deeply. Her death made everyone fall in complete despair and even Izuru himself cried over her body. And it hurt my heart that she couldnāt be there to experience the peace we all achieved. She would probablyā¦ chill on the beach or dig herself in the blankets Sonia put in the library to cozy it up. Hmā¦ I canāt be right. She does see that all. I bet sheās sitting in the stars. She smiles at every act of kindness, laughs at every little argumentā¦ She's okay.
I shook my head gently, remembering my original task and pressed gas, starting to swim through the bay again. I couldnāt help those short episodes I hadā¦ When itās so quiet at night, brain thinks more than usual.
Eventually I made it to the archive and picked up the documents. When I stood there in complete darkness, with one flashlight in my hand, I smiled to myself, continuing to think how much I actually changed.
āSee, thanks to you, I know itās illogical for something to stand behind me in the darkness..ā I hummed to myself. Well, partly to myself, partly to Izuru. I used to be horribly paranoid in darkness, but now? Whenever I thought of something that scared meā¦ my Ultimate Logic activates and fear goes away, like that! Unbelievable.
I guess I had to call it a day. That, I thought to myself when I was on my way back. Noticing all the lights went out in the hotel, I knew I had to be very quiet when going back to my cottageā¦
I peeked at Nagitoās documents, starting to wonder if that was even legal to do? I took the private recordsā¦ no. Nagito mightāve been in danger and I couldnāt allow anything bad to happen to him. Thatās what I promised to Chiaki. And myself, after we woke everyone up. That I will protect them with all my power..
I wondered if something such as Ultimate Leader existed on the list of talents I possess, becauseā¦ I sure felt like one.

LITERALLY AWWWED OUT LOUT WAAAH THAT IS SO MARVELLOUS

remade one of the ending images in gmod with a bonus grumpus.
o good people from tumblr, I have a little request!
I will be launching a comic from CookieRun universe (because I wanna occupy myself with something and I have some ideas, we will see how it goes) and well
thereās a lot of more or less accidental whitewash on the fanarts. Personally I always use the original arts as a reference (splash arts with most flat colours) but for some time I was on a lookout for good tutorials how to draw/colour/shade POC peeps properly. I can recall I saw few before, but it was my mistake I never saved them, just scrolled forward.
So! If you by any chance encounter those pictures (I know there are videos and Iāll appreciate them as well but I have a hard time learning from vids) it would be great if you could send them in! Iād appreciate it so much.
I hope it doesnāt come off as any weird or inappropriate, I just want to learn:) take care n much love! šµā¤ļø
NO BC THE LAST THREE š„¹ā¤ļøā¤ļø crying happy tears









Who am I? Who will I be next?
DANGANRONPA ARTISTS I LOVE YOU ALL S O MUCH !!!









CONTINUE āŗNEW GAME OPTIONS
ā
All credit to the delightful Submas Bros who got me back on this train (ha) with some much needed motivation, so here we go again;
PokĆ©mon Super DanganRonpa 2 Good Bye Despair; this time itās personal.
Hajime: Thereās something about small unassuming Eevee with all that potential inside āem which they just canāt access on their own. Also thereās been a fair few storylines with an Eevee trainer being bullied by a bunch of Eeveelution trainers for not evolving ā¦ Nagito: I know Absol is a fave to give him but regardless of the fact I gave Absol to Kyoko, I wasnāt quite feelinā it. Hear me out here: Diancie. One a kind mythical pokemon, crystalised- not evolved- from a Carbink, insanely valuable, with very good mega evolution stats, equal to Makotoās Tyranitar, all of which Nagito would brush off depreciating that he couldnāt even catch a 'normal Carbinkā And on a meta level; may be based on the HOPE Diamond (given one of the Diancie eventās was named 'Hope Diancieā) a gem thatās reputed to curse the holder with ill luck. Mikan: Hubris has caught me since I gave Hifumi a Blissey, but Audino is another nurse Joy staple and has the hidden ability 'Klutzā Chiaki: what self respecting gamer wouldnāt jump at the chance to have an 8-bit pokemon? Ibuki: Electric Guitar pokemon? Low key Toxtricity even matches her colour pallet Kazuichi: Isnāt sentient gear box Klinklang a mechanic nerdās dream? Sonia Iām sure every other pokemon she has is a terrifying ghost type; but nothing quite says 'princessā like a Galarian Rapidash Gundham: āCower before the 4 Dark Dedennes of Destruction!ā (also the Ultimate breeder would have shinies out the wazoo) Teruteru: A Rotom controlled oven is perfect for all his cooking needs, with none of the morality questions about FarFetchād and itās leek. Twogami: So I may have played myself giving Togami a shiny factory Ditto; but whoās a better companion to the lonely imposter with no identity of their own than insecure mimikyu who copies beloved pokemon to seek acceptance? Kindred spirits Akane: Both Gluttonous and Athletic? Greedent is a good match for that Nekomaru: itās like looking in a mirror, Machamp is a classic. Hiyoko: The Ultimate traditional dancer gets a Sensu style traditional dancing Oricorio. Call the presses. Mahiru: Iād admit this was a headscratcher since the most famous pokemon photographer DOESNāT HAVE ANY POKEMON; so for your consideration, Chinchou. Lures out shy pokemon for that perfect poke-snap, plus can be an impromptu flash in low visibility Fuyuhiko: Honchkrow the mafia boss pokemon is a no brainer, but more than that the villain groups are basically the pokemon yakuza; so that would make Fuyuhiko the ultimate. . Evil Team Boss? Not a great ring to it, but heās definitely the boss of this generationās Team Rocket Peko: A Honedge for the Ultimate Swordswoman, and the Jessie to Fuyuhikoās James. (I couldnāt bring myself to call her simply a Team Kuzuryu Grunt) Izuru: Nothing outside of Type Null, the artificial pokemon created by combining all the greatest strengths and type advantages of all pokemon would be good enough for the artificial being known as Izuru Kamakura created by combining all known talent within one personā¦ If this lad stepped out after you defeated the Elite Fourā¦ Imagine the Despairā¦
A coupla extras for you since I was in the zone

Genocider Syo: Taking Tokoās love of bug pokemon and slapping some blades onto 'em? match made in heaven for a Poke-serial killer Ishida: āChandeleur? Whatāre ya talkinā about? Thatās just my bro backing me up! 'sides donāt Chandeleurs hypnotise folks to see what they wanna see? I aināt dumb enough to fall for that baloney! Aināt that right Kyoudai?!ā
Once again this was a blast! Maybe Iāve got one more in me ā¦
