Danganronpa Kin Home

Hey, so the other mods and I have noticed a trend in recent requests for various divination types (tarot and shufflemancy being the most common).

We appreciate the detail some people put into their requests, but oftentimes it can hinder more than it helps. There are two real issues that have been common - hyper-specific Talentswaps and situations, and too-broad "classmates" questions. An example of a request that has both of these problems:

"Can I get a tarot reading for my classmates' opinions of me as a Kirumi who was friends with class 78 more than their own? I was dating an Ultimate Cook!Himiko."

For the hyper-specific situation, this information is either irrelevant to the question or, if you specifically wanted it included in the interpretation, we would have to do a lot of work to fit it in. Alternatively, if you wanted this included as part of an overall timeline reading (such as beginning, middle, and end), that could be an easier way to accommodate that specific detail. As far as Talentswaps go, Himiko being an Ultimate Cook doesn't add anything to the reading. Her talent (unless you had specific memories of her cooking romantic meals for you or something) has no effect on your relationship, and is fluff that only confuses the reading.

When it comes to overall classmate dynamics, that's harder to read, since obviously not everyone is going to think of you the same way. Some people may hate you, some people may have a crush on you, etc. This is extra hard when your whole other 15 classmates are summed up into one card, and it doesn't give a proper look into how your relationships function.

With the specific example that I gave, here are some ways to rephrase it or break it down, so that both us (the mods) and you get the best reading possible!

"Can I have a timeline tarot reading for a Kirumi who spent more time with class 78 than her own?" (This would be a beginning, middle, and end reading, or timeline spread of the mods' discretion.)

"Can I have a tarot reading? I'm a Kirumi and would like to know my relationship with Himiko." (This would be a relationship spread of the mods' discretion.)

"Can I have a tarot reading for how Himiko used her talent as the Ultimate Cook when she was my girlfriend? I'm Kirumi." (This would be a spread up to the mods' discretion. Personally, I would do a one-card reading)

I hope this helps you all understand where we're coming from, and we may follow up on some asks already in the inbox to clarify what those anons specifically want. If you have any questions about this, feel free to send them in!

Sure thing! I’ll use @kindecked’s relationship spread and my Queer Tarot deck.

———————————–

You: What was your role in the relationship?

I got the reversed Nine of Pentacles, which symbolizes living beyond means, an obsession with work, and false success. You tended to put on a front or mask that everything seemed better than it actually was, especially to “prove” yourself to Kaede. You wanted her to think that you had a life of luxury and all these good things, but you really felt inadequate and wanted someone, or more specifically, Kaede, to feel more fulfilled from things other than material goods. You weren’t indulging in yourself enough, leaving you feeling empty.

———————————–

Dynamic: A description of the relationship.

I got the reversed Five of Wands, which symbolizes avoiding conflict and respecting differences. At one point, you two had a bit of a rivalry, rather than working together. Thankfully, you were able to reconcile in the end after realizing you were growing tired of the back-and-forth. However, you (Maki) felt some inner turmoil, as shown in the previous card. You didn’t know how to balance this with your relationship with Kaede, which led you to withdraw from her.

———————————–

Partner: What was their role in the relationship?

I got the upright Knight of Pentacles, which symbolizes loyalty, hardworking, and trustworthiness. Kaede was everything you wanted to present yourself as in the first card — hardworking, responsible, and successful. She was intelligent and passionate, and always told you never to give up, acting as a guiding figure of sorts. She could get through anything and wanted to make sure you knew you could, too.

———————————–

Sure thing! I’ll use @kindecked’s relationship spread and my Queer Tarot deck!

———————————–

You: What was your role in the relationship?

I got the upright King of Wands, which symbolizes a leader, a visionary, and being intentional. While you were still manipulative and a liar, you were extremely charismatic and knew how to get everyone under your control, and all the pieces fell into place. But instead of doing the hard work yourself, you got your classmates to do it for you. You were definitely more of a leader than an antagonist, and you were able to manifest your goals with your classmates’ help.

———————————–

Dynamic: A description of the relationship.

I got the upright Eight of Wands, which symbolizes swiftness, sudden change, and alignment. Your dynamic focused on working with your circumstances and making sure you were all aligned, fitting of the Killing Game you found yourselves in. You had to go with the flow, which found you in cahoots with Angie and Korekiyo, and leading your other classmates.

———————————–

Partner: What was their role in the relationship?

I got the upright Seven of Pentacles, which symbolizes steady progress, patience, and growth. Tied into the first card, your classmates were willing to put in the energy and time to help your plans, which insinuates that they liked and trusted you enough to do so (or perhaps, were wooed by your charisma). They knew these goals would take time, and that it would take time to truly know you as well.

Early Sunsets Over Monroeville / My Chemical Romance

———————————–

And our memories defeat us, and I'll end this duress

But does anyone notice? But does anyone care?

And if I had the guts to put this to your head

But does anything matter if you're already dead?

And should I be shocked now, by the last thing you said?

Before I pull this trigger, your eyes vacant and stained

And in saying you loved me made things harder, at best

And these words changing nothing as your body remains

And there's no room in this Hell, there's no room in the next

But does anyone notice there's a corpse in this bed? 

———————————–

Sure thing! I’ll use @kindecked’s relationship spread, and Mod Kirumi did the pulls using its Alleyway Tarot deck! The Alleyway Tarot has 106 cards, with each card “found” and cobbled into the deck.

———————————–

You: What was your role in the relationship?

I got the reversed Empress card! Once your purpose as Junko’s successor was fulfilled, you definitely took on a more leader-focused role when it came to the Warriors of Hope. Just like Junko, you were hungry for power as you forced more despair upon the world. They couldn’t question you, and after the Warriors molded you into their idol, they were at your disposal. There was a HUGE power imbalance, if that wasn’t evident, and abandoning your new self wasn’t an option.

———————————–

Dynamic: A description of the relationship.

I got the reversed High Priestess card! This High Priestess, taken from The Deck of Celestials, and reversed, represents that divine knowledge is always just out of reach. In relation to your dynamic and in connection with (spoiler alert) a different High Priestess as the next card, I get the feeling that you, as a divine figure to the Warriors of Hope, were always a little out of reach to them. They wanted to connect with you and made progress toward it, but due to the aforementioned power imbalance, you were in more control over them, rather than the other way around. They wanted all of their dreams to come true so badly, with your influence as help, but it took much longer than they wanted.

———————————–

Partner: What was their role in the relationship?

I got the upright High Priestess card! This Priestess, from the Hopeless, Maine deck, is somber, yet crosses the bridge between the mortal and the magical. I feel like this covers both sides of the Warriors of Hope — the creation of the children’s paradise, and the infliction of despair. The Warriors, now with you as Junko’s successor, have a bit more of an influence on and connection with the world, and have a stronger connection to the despair that consumes it. I also feel like you were the divine to them, and their connection to you had become stronger.

———————————–

I hope this helps you, and let us know if it does! I’ve included a photo of the cards in the spread below the cut.

This isn't going to be the most helpful answer, Nagito, I'll warn you now. I used the Oracle of Secrets from the Alleyman to answer this, and I did a one card reading. It's under the cut!

Sure thing! I’ll use this spread and my Fairy Tarot deck.

———————————–

Partner: the overall feelings and attitude of your partner

I got the Prince of Winter! Toko needed to act FAST before she lost you to Monaca/Junko (similar to that cutscene in canon), focused and determined in her mission. She was definitely the one in charge in the lead-up to the betrayal, though impulsive at times. Overall, this reads as her iteration in your canon being very similar to the series canon.

———————————–

Self: the overall feelings and attitude of yourself

I got the Five of Spring! This card shows how things changed after the betrayal, focusing more on you. You and Toko were (obviously) at odds about the whole thing, competing about what’s “right” in the situation, and perhaps, Toko was doing little things over the course of your journey that just kept adding up and adding up, making the betrayal more “justified” in your eyes.

———————————–

Brick Wall: the obstacle, what stands between the two of you

I got the Nine of Winter! This really was the absolute worst-case scenario. Everything had gone completely fucking pear-shaped, and now you’re Junko’s successor. Neither of you knew how to move forward with yourselves, let alone each other. There was some time apart needed as you processed (or at least Toko processed, if you (Komaru) were incapable of it at that point). Your fears and anxieties were at their highest, and you were unsure how to move forward.

Speechless / Lady Gaga

———————————–

And I know that it's so complicated

But I'm a loser in love, so baby

Raise a glass to mend all the broken hearts

Of all my wrecked-up friends

I'll never talk again

Oh, boy, you've left me speechless (Ah)

You've left me speechless, so speechless

And I'll never love again

Oh, friend, you've left me speechless (Ah)

You've left me speechless, so speechless

———————————–

You need to request a specific divination method, which can be found here.

We only do past-life/timeline readings, not anything for people's present lives (save for certain spreads where it will connect to the kin timeline). If you mean "finding peace and happiness" in your timeline as Nagito, that's something within our scope, but otherwise not.

Hey! So I think I’m gonna do a one-card (technically two-card) reading for their overall impression of you, if that’s alright. I’ll be using my Queer Tarot deck for this!

———————————–

Your classmates’ thoughts & impressions of you

I got the upright Temperance card, with the reversed Page of Pentacles as a clarifier that slipped out with it! Temperance upright represents moderation, balance, and neutrality, while the Page of Pentacles reversed represents a lack of commitment, greediness, and laziness. 

I get the feeling that with your affections toward Nagito, the others stayed hands-off, despite wanting to intervene. They knew that intervening would make things either much better or much worse, off-setting the balance of “will-he-won’t-he” that you two had going. 

Though, there was also an aspect of “I’m dealing with my own goals, so I don’t care about yours.” There was so much going on that they really didn’t have the time to put too much care into their thoughts of you, just wanting to get back to their regular lives.

Goodbye Stranger / Supertramp

———————————–

Now, I believe in what you say

Is the undisputed truth

But I have to have things my own way

To keep me in my youth

Like a ship without an anchor

Like a slave without a chain

Just the thought of those sweet ladies

Sends a shiver through my veins

And I will go on shining

Shining like brand new

I'll never look behind me

My troubles will be few
