#uh...........

I haven't been making nearly as many finished artworks as I would have liked to recently, but I did finish this frankly kind of absurd height chart I've been chipping away at for the past few days, featuring all of my iterators and... iterator-adjacents. There's a lot, especially considering I only post about a small handful of them. Individuals (which I'd recommend you look at, because tumblr completely butchers the quality of the full image) and rambling under cut.

So I was curious about something, and it seems the ‘ugly bitch’ (busu) line was roughly the same in both versions, both times it shows up. Seems Monokuma was saying it to no one in particular, and it does sound like an utterly out-of-nowhere line with an unnecessary new sprite.

But it uh. Bothers me a little-

-because Monokuma would also describe himself as some variation of ‘cute’, and the context of the ‘busu’ line was Monokuma being ‘overwhelmed by cute’.

Dubious if this bear is just talking about... bears- that is, the Monokubs and his bear-self. But if in this latter case, he’s actually talking about someone behind the bear who is adorable, even childlike, this might just be an obscure sort of hint to that person’s background.
