The Togami bloodline FUCKS

It sure fucking does huh- but honestly, I feel pretty dumb that I overlooked this aspect for so long. I did a post a long while ago (well. extremely impulsive) about how Checkers and his brother parallel to the twins of Monster as a possible experimentation, but to think there was at first, a ‘perfect human to lead the world’ thing with Byakuya beyond... just the bloodline and organisation.

Whomst the fuck, imma fight them

this just been me all week tbh

I just want to add; it's not far-fetched to say Ouma does this to push the trial along. I believe he was suspicious of Korekiyo, and painted suspicion on himself to get a read on him (See: Korekiyo's reaction to Ouma's confession) I like the idea that it's also a power play, though. Ouma does his best work when people think he's lying, and knows how to lead Shuichi on a certain path. Needless to say, this boy is a smart one.

Of course it’s not far-fetched! This boy is capable of scripting an entire trial to account for peoples’ action and reaction, with alternate paths to boot. A stupidly impressive feat, one that sounds unrealistic, but nonetheless it’s real and we shouldn’t forget it happened, and what he’s capable of. So seeing the ins and outs like this is super cool with that hindsight knowledge, and it helps to know what we’re seeing unfold is just a small taste of that.

And yeah, the bolded point about the power play is basically what I meant by minimising his credibility to an end (not... worded very conclusively or clearly, now I look at it again, argh)- he works under the radar as a matter of course, so in order for Monokuma to not catch on to things he’s doing *ahem* Insect Meet and Greet, his gestures to others can’t be spelled out. And while this has its limits, it’s also when he can really shine as his emotional-rollercoaster best, using his knowledge of emotion like stirring up winds to change the air.

So the question we have: did shuichi set up Kaede, or was he just a complete dumbass? Our dear ace defective isn't the best judge of people, especially if the plot demands it

The True Mastermind is some drunk dumbass who started statting out a Corrupted Elder Brain for DND, got bored, then stole the world

Take a breath. Nobody's forcing you to do this. With the information you've been given, you've done admirable amounts of work. Team Danganronpa is a formidable opponent, and just happened to beat the fandom. It's not for you to fight the entire fandom's battle. If you want to keep going, you should. But there's no shame if you drop out.

They did indeed- that is certainly an adroit way of putting it. And thank you, your input has been a great help for a long time. I really appreciate that

It’s... confusing. I want to, but my impulsiveness - kind of hard-wired due to the anxiety - is screwing things up and making it way harder to do anything I want to effectively and at times even judge my feelings about things. Which in turn is stressful. Though now I’m wanting to do more things creatively without the binds, but I can’t do that without feeling like judging myself. I can get only so far, even simple creative things will get stuck in limbo for weeks or more. It’s such a mess

I imagine you've already got this, but the "we're still on script" line always irks me. Oh worm you expected your players to fuck up your carefully crafted story right at the end tsumugi? I guess that's why the hope's peak flashback light was rushed huh? You had everything nailed perfectly except the parts you didn't? Worst DM ever.
