Here are my headcanons of Ryoma for my Pregame AU!! It was pretty hard to figure out what kind of backstory to give him but I knew I wanted him to be in a gang at a very young age which would be a stark difference to in-game who was never a part of that lifestyle and was targeted. Also, unlike in-game where he has a girlfriend, he doesn't have one and refuses to have any close relationships with anyone (aside from Kaito since they hang out with the same crowd and maybe Kage if they had stayed in touch). He's not as developed so I might change some things later on as I continue writing for my Pregame AU fic.

Here is the last drawing for the #saioumaweekend2026 challenge!! Sorry for posting a day late. It took me longer to finish since I had a hard time with the composition but I figured it out. I initially did want to go with regular Saiou but I really wanted to draw Kagebon so I caved (it still counts since it's just Pregame Saiou but to me, they are their own person separate from In-game Saiou if that makes sense). Its very 2016 summer vibes with the whole pink sunset/sunrise look you know what I mean?

This is for the second prompt in the #saioumaweekend2026 art challenge!! I went with "Road Trip" and decided to have them stargazing by the mountains. I also decided to draw them in those other outfits that the chibi them wore from the Osaka Trip collab.

I decided to join the #saioumaweekend2026 art challenge!! For the first prompt, I went with "After School" and decided to do a Hopes Peak Academy AU since I've never actually done one before. I used the dialogue from Salmon Mode since it works with the vibe I was going for. I added my reference page although I didn't add much info to it since I actually haven't watched the DR anime at all so my knowledge on Hopes Peak is very limited.

First one is a simple Kagebon drawing, second one is Maki and Kage recreating the Maddy & Rue hug scene from "Euphoria" Season 2 because it matched their personalities well, and the last one is a meme with Kagebon (I included the original meme right after it. I don't know who the original artist is).

I finally have a completed drawing after weeks of nothing but sketches. This was honestly one of the most fun drawings I've done in a while. I originally was drawing all the DR antagonists together but Kokichi was aura farming way too hard so I drew him by himself and this is the result. I wanted it to look like the nonstop debate sequence where the characters start to argue their points and words pop up on screen for you to shoot at. (I'm not fully sure if Kokichi ever said something like this in like ch. 4 or I just made it up but whatever it's for vibes.)

I've been rewatching 'Amphibia' since the start of May and I just had to draw something with Amphibian Saiou. This wasn't in the original design that I made for Newt Shuichi but after looking at some real life references of newts, I decided to give him some stripes on his arms and legs to match his tail. It makes it look cohesive and it's a bit of a nod to his in-game outfit where there are 5 silver stripes on his right shoulder.

A little Kage HC blurb: One of his greatest fears is not knowing who he is. His identity was first marked for him when he was shunned as a child for liking DR, even being nicknamed "Creephara" by his classmates because of it. It wasn't until he got into a violent altercation with a student that his reputation was completely ruined to the point his own parents disowned him, pretending that he never existed to prevent his reputation from ruining theirs. Ever since, this event was all anyone knew about him. Not his childhood acting, not his kindness and interests, nothing else. Everyone saw him as this violent, problem child who was just waiting to set off, and he let them believe it, acting scary and intimidating to prevent them from even trying to bully him. However, he started believing it himself. He couldn't distinguish between the person he is and the person that others knew him as which made him start to believe that he really was what others saw him as.

Out of anyone, my HCs for Pregame Angie changed drastically. Originally, I wanted her to be more like Tobias from 'Ghost Eyes' (iykyk) but I realized that she ended up being too similar with her in-game self which isn't what I want. I realized that if I wanted her pregame version to be different from in-game, then it has to start with the cult stuff so I made it where her family escaped a cult rather than still be in one. I also made it where Angie is so scared of becoming a cult leader so she tries so hard to not repeat the same mindset that the cult had unlike In-game Angie who was very manipulative and acted like a cult leader. I quite like how she turned out in the end but because I developed her so late (literally within the past week), there might be some changes to Pregame Angie in the future.

bat :)

I would take him as the same side of the coin with Tenko. Both are scared of ridicule from their peers about their sexuality but they take different approaches. Tenko wants to be accepted for who she is so she stays authentic to herself but keeps a wary distance while Kaito would rather push it down and lash out at anyone who even suggests he has an interest in not just women but also men. Toxic masculinity at its finest. He's got things he needs to work through but he would rather ignore it than address the elephant that's standing right behind him.
