I [believe] that hope will overcome despair and shine.

KOMAEDA NAGITO [Santa only comes to the houses of good children, right? I wonder if that’s just because he’s stingy. Look, Christmas is overflowing with hope, but you also see a lot of people with bored-looking faces, don’t you? But I want to make even those people smile. So, could you tell me? What’s so boring? What’s so detestable? Hey?]
(The translation is from here, < do check out the post, they translated other tweets too)
Granted, Komeada seems to be addressing bored people in general, but the fact that it’s in-character for him to say this? And when it comes to boredom, you may think about Kamukura at first, but this could also apply to Hinata because he was bored with his normal life.
But-







Hinata sure smiles a lot at Komaeda after SDR2. I’d say Komaeda’s doing a pretty good job.
Bonus:

-Pekoyama Peko in her FTE, after Hinata helps remind her how to smile.
Komaeda and Peko are similar as they both see themselves as lesser, a ‘tool/ stepping stone’, and want to see someone smile, but wouldn’t you say Peko and Kamukura/Hinata are also similar? They forgot how to smile and were ‘tools’: Peko served the Kuzuryuu clan, while Kamukura/Hinata were used by Hope’s Peak and Junko.




If your power isn’t enough, we’re here for you. I’m here for you.





“Happy Ending” snipped together. Posted the full pic also here: Click!
The more I think about that scene where everyone walks past Hinata the more heartbroken I feel because in sdr2 they’re all Hinata’s friends and they love him so much and have fun together but in dr3 they don’t even acknowledge him. Chiaki’s his friend but now Hinata’s going to become Kamukura and Chiaki’s probably going to die at some point because she’s an AI in sdr2 and she gets executed anyway and she’s gone even though she loved her friends and they all loved her and they might not even remember that she was their classmate. And just this wouldn’t have happened if Hinata didn’t become Kamukura because then he could keep being friends with Chiaki and maybe she could have introduced him to her classmates and then they could have all been friends because that’s how it’s supposed to be, they’re supposed to be friends who have fun and support each other but Hinata gets used by Hope’s Peak Academy and in sdr2 they’re all forced into a killing game the only time they’re ever really allowed to be happy friends together is in Island Mode but even then Chiaki’s an AI and she has to be left alone on the simulation of the island and the real human Chiaki’s probably dead or gone or something and I’m just. So sad.

hinata’s parents were assholes pass it on :(
when ur playing video games to cope with depression but its not working

screaming. crying. throwing up.

It’s weird.
I’ve been a Formula 1 fan for most of my life, I’ve seen drivers come and go, I cried when Sebastian Vettel retired.
But this hits particularly hard.
I remember watching Daniel Ricciardo’s first race. I was nine, and I remember thinking about how young he looked. I remember him winning with Red Bull. I remember his smile. I remember his shoeys. I remember Monaco 2018 and how, despite not being a Red Bull fan, I teared up as Daniel got redemption. I remember the rollercoaster that followed his leaving. I remember his return last year. I remember him breaking his wrist to protect Oscar Piastri while crashing. I remember the grins and laughter. I remember to enjoy the butterflies.
This one hurts.
Thank you, Honey Badger 🦡
D. Ricciardo: A Day In with Danny

Word count: 962
"We could stay in all day and watch Tv and eat takeout. You'd love that and I know you would so don't even try to deny it. I just want a day with you. Just us enjoying each other's company. I don't care what we're doing. I would prefer activities with less clothes, but whatever you want we'll do." He tells me. I consider his offer and turn to the bathroom. I could hear him lean back in bed.
I love Danny and would do anything for him but just to mess with him I spend the next ten minutes in the bathroom pretending to get ready. In reality I brush my teeth and wash my face. I threw my hair into a bun and walked out the bathroom. "I wouldn't mind spending the day here with you."
He smiles and lifts the covers inviting me back into his arms. I get in bed and we call room service. While ordering the food I look at Danny and he's staring again but has this look in his eyes. I draw my attention back to the call and end the call.
"You know I love you, right?"
"Of course I do, Danny. Why do you ask?" I question as I know I've never once doubted his love. I lean forward and kiss him. He gently grabs me and pulls me closer.
He slowly pulls away and whispers "Do you see a future for us? "
I look at him and reply, "Of course I do. I see us with kids and a cat even though I'm allergic. A nice house. We have two, maybe three kids because you say three is your lucky number. We also live on a ranch because you just have to." I look at him after my rant and he has a smile on his face, but it slowly fades.
"I'm sorry I can't always be there for you. I know you say it's fine, but I get so scared that you'll find someone better and leave me because I can't give you the life you deserve right now. I know I said last year would be my final year in f1 but there's been talk of me joining Redbull again. Checo's underperforming and he might be demoted. I'm telling you this because I don't want you to put your life on hold for me.
"You speak of this beautiful future for us but what If we have to wait. I don't want that for you but I don’t want to lose you. I guess what I’m trying to say is, I don't want you to wake up one day and feel like you’re missing out because of me." He finishes with tears in his eyes. Daniel is not a very emotional guy and my heart breaks for him. Knowing he's been harboring these feelings for God knows how long it hurts me.
"Daniel, look at me. Don't ever hide something like this from me. I love you so much, and knowing that you've been feeling like this breaks my heart. I'm so sorry you feel this way. I would wait the rest of my life with you, I hope you know that." I start to tear up as I say this, "I only want those things if they're with you and if it never happens then oh well. As long as I have you I’m happy."
“I don’t want you to look back on this time and think you missed out. You know our friends are getting married and having kids, and you’re at home waiting for me. WhatI’m trying to say is if you wanted an out here it is.”
I look at him in shock not knowing what to say. I open my mouth to speak but suddenly there’s no words. I shut my mouth and start to cry. He leans forward and hugs me and quietly apologizes in my ear.
“I’m so sorry. I shouldn’t have brought it up. I’m sorry love. Please forgive me. You’re my everything and I would never want to lose you.” He says. I look at him and kiss him slowly.
“We’ll be alright I promise you. I would wait a thousand lifetimes and wait more if you needed me to. I love you with everything in my body. Don’t ever doubt that. Do you hear me?” I ask him. He nods his head and I put my head on his chest and hold him. We stay like that until we decide to order food and start our day.

Notes: please take this primer in the spirit in which it was intended, which is simply a fun little list of bits of daniel lore that I've collected over the years. For all the fic writers, if this primer is at all useful, know that I'm honored, but remember that this primer is not a rulebook, so take or ignore these little tidbits as you see fit! Your fic is your world. Finally, please reblog and add more! I'd love nothing more than to crowdsource more lore!

Omg. Something about this man 🔞💥😝
