#peyton rants

This was said to me today, and I feel the need to address it.

FIRST OF ALL, not all dancers are skinny and tall. Yes, that is a preference of the ABT (American Ballet Theater, a.k.a. one of the most well-known performance companies in America) but a dancer could have any body type. I have personally found that the curvier people are the most soft and graceful, and isn’t that what you’re going for most of the time when you are doing ballet? Being slim is great, but those people tend to be harsh and jagged in their movements. Now, this is just from what I have experienced, and does not account for everyone.

The requirement to be skinny can be pretty ridiculous. I know people who are so concerned with being petite enough to dance with a pro studio that they are borderline malnourished. It should be that you eat healthy and exercise, NOT starve yourself.

I am also speaking from experience here. I had to take a year off from dance to focus on myself and eventually switched studios, because I am naturally chubby and short, and I felt too much pressure to be skinny at my old studio. I was NINE.

AND SECOND OF ALL, dancing is supposed to be fun, and a way to express yourself. If you are so focused on your weight and it is no longer enjoyable, something is wrong. I’m not saying that you shouldn’t care about exercise or eating right, because those things are very important, even for non-dancers, but you should be able to accept whatever body you have, slim, short, tall, or “fat”.

So yeah, I’m a dancer. And yeah, i don’t fit the stereotype of being tall and skinny, but I take care of my body, and I am going on 10 years of dance. I take three and a half hours a week. I will be going en pointe soon.

Kokichi is guarded, calculated, and a (loveable sometimes, but still) asshole. So his reverse would not be an uwu soft boy, he'd probably lean more toward being kind though. Wouldnt it make more sense for this version to wear his heart on his sleeve? Not that he'd never ever lie, but he's definitely unfiltered, and couldnt plan or scheme to save his life. He's not flamboyant or loud, although maybe the reason he joins danganronpa is he *wants* to be, but instead the thing in game kokichi hates most. *Boring*. Predictable.

Shuichi being yandere makes me soooo mad. I hate it. BUT I do love him being a super fan of the games, and idolizing Kyoko. I dont think he'd be a junko fanboy, but like most fans of the game, agree that shes fun and iconic. My favorite hc I've given pregame Shuichi (or Kage i guess since thats the name people gave him for some reason?) Is that he is INSANELY confident. Did you see him in that tape!? He was so confident he was going to be a killer (but he also planned his own execution, so he knows that danganronpa would never let a killer go because that's not the point of the games, so hes got enough sense to realize that). If you havent noticed already, i reallyy like contrast and parallels, and pregame saihara being confident that he's the worlds best detective and most clever contestant is just amusing to me. I like this one a lot...<3 why does he have the hat in pregame? Uhhh idk, either he thinks it looks cool and mysterious (very likely), or he's just bad at eye contact (autism)

Kaede being Jecka from class of 09 coded is kinda funny to me tbh, but the whole "i have no faith in humanity!" line strikes me as she totally has a pinterest board of dark emo quotes and unironically believes them. You just know she tells people she has a dark and twisted sense of humor, and she loves danganronpa because shes soooo messed up. In game kaede is sweet, hopeful, and a leader, so this one is mean, doesnt believe in others, and girlfailure. I kinda love the all the same though, even if she couldnt inspire a plant to photosynthesize</3

"Wait wheres kaito" IDK WHAT TO SAY FOR KAITO. HES LIKE KAEDE BUT JOCK. IM DOING MAKI INSTEAD BECAUSE YOU LOT DID HER DIRTY.

Im so mad at peoples pregame maki. Why doesnt she get the swap treatment too, huh?! She deserves it! Maki is cold, calculated, strong, etc. So this ones my favorite. Shes a dork, she's still strong but very silly. She has a super loud laugh that she tries to cover, and i love her so so much. She definitely made her assassinsona though and showed it to tsmugi like shuichi did with his own detectivesona. Not because shes a dangan superfan! But because shes played assasins creed 5 times and can tell you how historically accurate it is with alarming detail. Shes clumsy and dorky but she is NOT weak or stupid, shes still like slightly intimidating just by sitting there (as is oma) but she wouldnt ever do anything! Shes just a lil gal!!<3 a little gal who has every historically significant posion memorized, but nevertheless!

(she listens to murder mystery podcasts with shuichi and she and kokichi are friends dont @ me.)

These two:
