Something That Bothers Me Is When People Only Put The Blame On Her For Her Dynamic With Kokichi. Is It

Something that bothers me is when people only put the blame on her for her dynamic with Kokichi. Is it okay that she tried to kill him? No. However, Kokichi is not some innocent victim; he repeatedly antagonizes her by throwing her trauma in her face, and implying she's an unredeemable monster. When her whole character arc is about understanding that she is more than a killer, and that she deserves love and friendship. In chapter fove he straight up pretends to be the mastermind and kidnaps someone she cares about. In this essay I will...

It really bothers me that Maki is seen as "cruel" or "selfish" by the fandom when she's quite frankly way too selfless for her own good. She becomes an assassin to protect a friend of her's, Volunteering in her place so "She doesn't spend the rest of her life crying." Maki had sacrificed any chance she had at a life of her own to save her friend who died while Maki was training anyway. And even then, Maki stayed an assassin. Trying her hardest for every single mission for the orphanage, She endured literal torture and kept having to experience it(Implied) and she literally refers to her life(Not directly) as "A fate worse than death" But Maki persists. She sucks it up and keeps going so no more children at the orphanage would have to go through what she did. She has literally gave up any control over her life and like any free time for the orphanage. And the majority of the fandom only sees her on surface level and doesn't understand why she acts the way she does and just blames it on cruelty or selfishness

Also I saw someone call her a "pick me" for talking about her problems, Like????

"you can't hear pictures!"

Meanwhile people who have played Danganronpa:

literally feels like a myth that there are people who don't struggle with basic tasks like getting out of bed or going to the shops or seeing a friend for coffee. how does everything not feel like a painstaking chore for them. how do they have the physical and emotional energy every single day

I’m not immune to slasher comedy coming of age musicals. Apparently

Fine. I'll get over my embarassment of posting ship art and share these gems I found in my 2022 folder :")

Starkid is one of the absolute best arguments for supprting independent art. The fact that the shows you're invested in can't get canceled by Big Daddy Streaming, the quality is always amazing, the love of the cast and crew doesn't get squeezed out by surprise budget reductions, the fact that since crowd funding provides almost all costs up front (plus the presence of voluntary digital ticket/in person tickets for additional funding), the fan base can access the full material for whatever cost they can contribute (even if you can give nothing monetarily, you will still get a professionally shot version of the material eventually, without surprise fees or password crackdowns, AND with captions/completely accesible regardless of location). The same goes for Tin Can Bros, Shipwrecked, and all the other associated theater and web series companies loosely connected to Starkid. Like, I cannot believe the amazing content provided to us at the same level as Broadway or streaming services with billion dollars at hand, with almost none of the catches that come with others. Like, I cannot believe that we get all of this right at our hands.
