I did another dumb text post edit ??? Enjoy I guess
DDLC x Omori (I am proud of this)
The "Amy likes spiders" poem in doki doki literature club (Natsuki's second poem) just makes me think of being closeted with internalized homophobia and I think it works really well for her
There's the poem if you haven't seen it!
(This is just me analyzing the poem and it's probably my longest post yet. I've been overanalyzing all the poems but this is the only one I've typed out atm lol)
It specifically makes me think of four things - Yuri liking different things and her disliking her for it, Natsuki being so far in the closet that she'll take any excuse to avoid the pretty girl™, Natsuki's self projection onto "Amy" and most importantly internalized homophobia, like I said earlier
It generally makes me think natsuri but I'll get to that later. So if we go from the internalized homophobia + closeted perspective (more like raised homophobic and doesn't know she's gay but ykwim), it reads as "a girl I know is a lesbian and Im meant to hate her for it. She's pretty and she makes me feel things but I can't be friends with her because she's a lesbian"
'The narrator' (Natsuki) heard a rumor that a girl, "Amy" (the lesbian), apparently likes 'spiders' (girls) and is repulsed. And that's why she isn't friends with her.
"Amy" sings the narrator's favorite love song, her voice is cute and it's making her heart pound. But she still likes 'spiders', so she can't be her friend.
She hurts her leg and "Amy" helped her get to the nurse. She tried to avoid touching her because her hands might be gross due to touching 'spiders', so she still can't be her friend.
"Amy" is very popular, but "she probably talks about spiders" (being gay). "What if her friends start to like spiders too?" (This entire verse rlly speaks for itself)
The next verse is shortest and even more repetitive than the rest of the poem (to emphasize her point) "it doesn't matter if she has other hobbies, it doesn't matter is she keeps it private, it doesn't matter if it doesn't hurt anyone" because to the narrator - she can't be "Amy's" friend, no matter how bad she wants to, because she's always going to be a 'spider lover' (lesbian) and she won't be able to ignore that.
And then the final nail to seal shut the door to the closet - "it's gross, she's gross, the world is better off without spider lovers. And I'm gonna tell everyone" because she needs everyone to know she hates 'spider lovers' to make sure no one knows she is also one. It's so gross because she was taught it was and now she can't stop thinking it's gross, no matter how nice/pretty/kind "Amy" is.
Onto the natsuri part so if you don't like that ship feel free to skip the rest of this (if you're still here lol)
Yuri and Natsuki like such different things (creepy and complex vs cute and simple) and they reach the point where they've argued so much that Natsuki doesn't want to admit she doesn't dislike Yuri. Even if she likes her poems, she'd never tell her because she feels like she can't at this point.
Natsuki couldn't see past their differences for a while, when she finally does, she's too embarrassed to apologize and too uncomfortable to befriend her without apologizing.
Nearly every verse of the poem will talk about how great the girl is. How she has a cute voice, she helped her, she has lots of friends, she makes her heart pound. But every verse she will still come back to "but she likes spiders. That's why I'm not friends with her". It feels like her gradually warming up to Yuri but still reminding herself that she can't be her friend, they're too different, Yuri likes creepy things (Yuri probably does like spiders so that's a bit more literal but it's also that spiders seem to symbolise everything she likes that Natsuki doesn't) and she couldn't be friends with someone so different.
And lastly, Natsuki's self projection (this is what the meaning is said to be in-game), meaning "Amy" is Natsuki herself. Natsuki likes manga and her friends won't believe it counts as literature. Her manga is the spider in this interpretation, she doesn't want people to judge her based on what she likes. She's had to be so defensive about what she likes, she may even judge herself for liking it at this point. She doesn't want people to judge people by their interests.
I keep seeing people say that Amy is a real person but that's one of the only interpretations that makes no sense to me. Because Natsuki may be a bit judgemental but even she wouldn't make an entire poem about disliking her classmate's love of spiders. She said herself that anyone that agrees with the narrator in the poem is a bad person. It's far more likely that "Amy" is a made up idea, she's barely even shown as a person. She's seemingly meant to be symbolic of Natsuki's flaws and insecurities, whatever you perceive those insecurities to be.
Portraying Amy as an actual person kinda cheapens the poem, at least in my opinion, because she was talking about how people should be given a chance no matter what (or who) they like and if Amy was a person it wouldn't make sense
Edit bc I only just finished that scene (I was busy this weekend) -
There's a transcript bc it's hard to read but I stuck it under the cut bc it's kinda long
This doesn't really add anything to my interpretation but it rlly reinforces it right? Closeted Natsuki is so canon to me
Transcript :
Natsuki - "Like, anyone would agree that the subject of this poem is an ignorant jerk..."
MC - "Do you know people like that?"
Natsuki - "Of course. It's about how everyone thinks my-"
Natsuki - "That doesn't matter! It can be about anything!"
Natsuki - "I wrote it to be easy to relate to..."
Natsuki - "Everyone has some kind of weird hobby, or a guilty pleasure."
Natsuki - "Something that you're afraid if people find out, they'd make fun of you or think less of you."
Natsuki - "... But that just makes people stupid!"
Natsuki - "Who cares what someone likes, as long as they're not hurting anyone, and it makes them happy?"
Natsuki - "I think people really need to learn to respect others for liking weird things..."

"i really, loved the literature club."
id like to think after monikas "deleted" this is how it feels to look back on everything that happened; she has a guilty conscience once she realizes how far everything got taken, and how bad it really was.

Yuri <333
hey, sorry I haven't posted any art in a while... I just haven't been motivated to make anything recently- I will fr start posting more again bc I feel motivated!!!
Here is something I did a while ago on paper. I always have liked Yuri, I thought she was pretty and I like ddlc!!!
I saw this and just had to draw it
(Sorry if it looks rushed, I'm tired lol)
"Two best friends in a room! They might kiss!"
"...yes we will..."
"...what?"
"I said, 'yes we will'."
Walking home from school... Natsuki notices a "Road Work Ahead" sign.
"Ah!"
?
"...you know."
??
"...I sure hope it does! Right?"
???
"I have never been so dissapointed in you..."
What does she want from me??
Could you a ddlc headcanons what it’s like to be dating them in the beginning of the relationship with the reader?
DDLC x reader beginning relationships headcanons
not my best work, but I'm straight out of a long hiatus so what can I say lol
Monika
- She'd open up weirdly fast??? Like, she acts as if you've been together for a year lmfao
- Takes you to all of her piano recitals. Sometimes she sneaks small, loving glances into the crowd, looking for your approval.
- yyeeeeaaaaaaa, prepare to be indoctrinated into the literature club.
- Parades you around school happily, like "Hey everyone! Look who I pulled!"
- Free tutoring, piano lessons, and poetry I guess! She's a liiittttllleee too interested in showing you everything she likes.
- Late nights spent in the empty club room, looking over homework and reading poetry is her idea of relaxing.
Sayori
- Honestly, I feel like it wouldn't be that different.
- I mean, you guys have been friends for so long, so it's only natural!
- You two are already used to physical touch n stuff, so kissing comes pretty quick.
- Get ready for as much PDA as you're comfortable with! clingy ass
- She's always hanging on you in some way,, PLEASE give her attention.
- You lying on her lap while she writes is, like, a dream for her.
Yuri
- She would definitely take a while to open up.
- She’s still pretty shy around you, dating or not, but that’s just how she is lmfao
- Eventually, she’ll get used to the idea of being in a relationship, making dates and affection a regular thing.
- You're the ONLY person she's ever taken to a bookstore,, like she usually does that shit herself.
- Horror movies. HORROR MOVIES. And if you're scared, she'll hold you the whole way through <33
- She loves going to coffee shops with you in the morning SO muchhhh,,
Natsuki
- Similar to Yuri, she doesn’t let her guard down for a while.
- Would probably make you little snacks. Not full blown meals like she would make later in your relationship, but this is just her warming up to the idea.
- Bake with her and she’ll warm up like 10x faster. Like her heart will MELT.
- It’ll take a long time for her to open up about her home life.
- Sorry, but you're not gonna be able to come over to her house- hope you like hosting!
- Cuddling and reading manga,,, hhnngggg
