//Not because Monomoko won't accept pets but because the Tetro skits are non interactable.
//Monomoko WILL be available eventually in Voidship canon but I will say this; Monomoko is not debuting in Black Rabbit.
//Sounds silly when the arc seems to reference her but there's already so many characters coming that a eltrich rabbit will be too much.
//As for when she will show up? Who knows, but since her "backstory" in the old canon is rubbish. I thrown it out completely and came up with what Monomoko is from the ground up.

Lmao I teared up a bit when I woke up and saw Aliza's ask in my inbox.
Also trying to get back into the whole rp blog stuff, both interacting and all, though danganronpa is not my main focus at the moment. That place is taken by Wind Breaker and Twisted Wonderland.
//I first heard about it from Poi as she spoke on the Askblog Discord about Aliza sending her a ask so I decided to check my inbox and sure enough, an ask from Aliza was there. And like I mentioned in the ask itself, it brought me immense joy.
//Its all good Togo. She's back now, that's what matters. And understandable that Danganronpa might not be your main focus rn. But when I eventually get these sprites done and get back into the Voiddship, you can join in there~
Can you rank ASOOT, Survivor, DFTA/NWPM, New Future, and your own Voidship?
//Okay so for this I'm excluding the Voidship since I don't think its fair to rank it here and I'm also excluding NWPM since I've not read that through very well.
//Everything else is going under the cut. Naturally spoilers for ASOOT, Survivor and DTFA. Also New Future but that's getting rebooted sooo yeah.
4. Despair to Future Arcs
//At the bottom I will place Despair to Future Arcs doing by Poisonroizon. Which might come as a shock to you, why is it so low? Well here's the thing I think DTFA has benefitted from updating during a time where the other askblogs have gone on hiatus so there's not a fair comparison. ASOOT is on pause due to Bubbles having other life priorities, Survivor is on pause but it will resume soon and A New Future is being rebooted. You had my Voidship running but those two are very different.
//At a surface level, DTFA does what it sets out to do which is do a complete rewrite of Danganronpa 3, and when I say a complete I mean nothing from DR3 is considered in this as the writers of DR3 didn't really consider the other parts of canon when doing so there's a lot of logic inconsistencies here. HPA is this all powerful and flawed organisation and the Future Foundation is shown to be really flawed. But there's various, various problems that are not talked about and while they are many, the biggest one is this.
//Favouritism of OCs.
//A lot of people love Poi's OCs...but this is mostly their portrayal in ASOOT which wasn't written by Poi, but by Bubbles instead. But if you look into how Poi's own OCs operate in DTFA they always get special treatment as they are mostly portrayed heorically and always in the right about everything, with the narrative never giving them flaws other then informed ones and the few OCs which are villains are also extremely cartoonishy over the top. Sakoto is a good example of this since okay, she's the horrible abusive teacher of Class 77-B and why they turned to Despair. She also escaped karma and joined Future Foundation, that's fine, but everything else Sakoto did? Completely unwarranted and seems like being tacked on so we hate her. And I get it you are gonna give preferential treatment to your own characters but please be balanced with them for crying out loud. They need to have flaws.
//This is especially gregarious when you realise that all the characters in DTFA who have flaws are the canon, Another characters and other people's OCs. The canon cast are shown to be flawed, the Foundations are all flawed, and the only organisation who's perfect is the one run by Poi OCs. Don't even get me STARTED on the Voids who are demonised to high heavens here. You also have some horrible treatment to various characters like Kizuna and Hiyoko, and before you say "But canon says they're bad" Canon didn't say for Hiyoko to be treated the way she was and as for Kizuna, its clear that LINUJ threw that line in her FTEs to make us hate her. A lesson I have learnt is when characters do dodgy stuff you ask yourself this; is it a core character trait or is it something the creator threw in for reasons.
//Nagi by far is a good example of this as the Main character because she has a lot of issues and troubles and not once does the narrative portray her treatment of Class 77-B as wrong and when attempts of this are made, stupid people claim its backpedalling. I know Hope Arc aims to portray as more flawed but if you have to wait until literal Season 3 of your story to show your main character has problems that's a concern. Meanwhile it took like one arc for me to show that RA is not a good person.
//The Anons being real people is also a mixed bag since well...I will say its both good we are real people but also not.
//This isn't to say DTFA is all bad, as I do like some of the worldbuilding ideas and while how HPA is portrayed can be cartoonishly evil, when you examine the worldbuilding of Danganronpa as a whole in canon, its kinda on brand to be fair. To really emphasis on that this is a broken society that was gonna topple eventually and Junko was just the nudge that set things going. And some of the characters like Masa, Naoyuki and Gou or Horse Man as I call him I really like. The characters can come off as quantity over quality at times but Poi is literally trying to breath life into the Danganronpa world so you can excuse this. And I do like the general idea of everyone getting the briefcases and finding out why the school is rotten. Its just well it shows that Poi has a lot of room for improvement to do and she's committed some writing sins.
3. New Future
//Next up is the other Danganronpa 3 rewrite, this one done by Freezethunder. Now despite being a DR3 rewrite there's a few major differences here. For one DTFA outright ignores DR3 and disregards it for its own canon whilst New Future still tries to work with DR3 but just...make sure it doesn't suck. It also includes Raincode characters and the V3 cast which DTFA does not. However the reason its not any higher is because...we don't have a lot as we only had 2 arcs before it got cancelled and is in the process of being rebooted.
//Also the Anons are therapy robots designed by Miaya so our role here does make some sense here.
//I'm only ranking it higher then DTFA for the purposes I feel DTFA commits more writing sins whereas New Future doesn't have a lot to do. And there's not much to say, the first arc was okay and the second arc I couldn't get a feel on due to cancellation so there's more questions then answers.
//Not as big as DTFA but again its the shortest blog here so can't do much.
2. Survivor
//Now we move onto Survivor made by Creepycraftguy. This Blog takes place post canon and features the V3 cast crossing universes to the canon one and with it a new threat follows them. This blog I feel captures more of the Danganronpa essence since the other askblogs, while good do tend to be more grounded and realistic which is something I feel too many Fangans tend to be and not embrace the whimsy Danganronpa is known. This does as the askers are allowed to do what they do on the Voidship...but their antics can't impact the plot so Anons are just there to be a nuisance and nothing more.
//This blog can get rather insane and used to be the most out there Askblog until Voidship firmly and utterly urseped that role because it doesn't have to abide by real world physics like Survivor does. Its nice to see how various characters have developed in the years since and while people are revived from the dead, strict rules have to apply for their resurrection. As for the original characters, unlike in DTFA there isn't many of them, which means the few that are in are allowed massive depth and exploration. Kuripa is by far my favourite of the Askblog protagonists as he seems goofy and outlandish on the surface but deep down he's a deprived monster who will go full Punisher on his enemies and has zero mercy. Only reason you haven't seen Kuripa yet on the Voidship is because me and Creeper have been trying to figure out a way for him to work that doesn't include him and Matta tearing the Voidship apart. Uichi is also a nerd in a affectionate way who's had a LOT of baggage due to his past that he needs to overcome. Matta okay I don't like the guy but I will admit he's well written.
//The plots can be over the place as some are good and others are not so good. Probably my biggest gripe was how Makoto's fall was handle as while I applaud the brave choice to make him have a negative character development arc to show how stressful the war has been, some of the decisions he took and actions...even if he's having a bad time, seem very out of character for him, like strangling people? Beating a disarmed enemy to a pulp? Yes Makoto can be ruthless at times especially in these dire circumstances but it doesn't feel right to me.
//This Askblog was notable for featuring the H20 Cast which until they got discontinued due to the creator wanting them unpersoned from the internet, did a massively stellar job doing them justice. Its what inspired me to want to save the Tetro Cast and well...because of that you are getting non AI Slop sprites of them.
//All in all, its very different in terms of tone, but that's what I like about Survivor.
1. A Student Out of Time
//I don't care if its cliche, the OG, A Student Out Of Time by CmndrBubbles, still stands strong for a reason. This is why it has 1k+ followers. This is why I started doing reviews. This askblog is amazing and a joy to follow.
//The premise is simple; Hajime and some others go back in time from the Tragedy to the start of everything going wrong and their job is to prevent the Tragedy from occurring. Along the way they meet many new friends and butt heads with those who wish the status quo to stay.
//It does a lot of things right. Lots of feel good moments. Character Development. Introducing people to the Another series. Being the catalyst for every single other Askblog here. And giving justice to characters who got shafted in their canon like Hiyoko, Natsumi, Iroha, Kizuna, Monaca and many many others. You will care for characters you didn't think you will care for.
//You know a askblog is good if someone is willing to do 40k in terms of word count reviews on them. There are many many stellar moments which stand strong in fiction in general, and it deserves all the praise it gets.
//Of course it has flaws, I wouldn't be doing reviews if it was perfect but its why I do them, because I love the project and want it to be better. Plus finding out that the creator is behind one of my more favourite OCs in Ask the Despair Kids was such a woah moment for me.
//Point is, I love this askblog a lot and so do a lot of other people, we wouldn't have a community here otherwise and while its on hiatus right now, I do await its return with glee, hopefully I can progress my own stuff first so I'm not massively behind.
//And there you go. I know the bottom one might have got a bit ranty but I felt something needed to be said. I just hope you can respect my decisions and takes here.
not hiroko naming her son cheap 🤣🤣though in historic japan when child mortality was high they did name children weird stuff so that evil spirits wouldn't taken them.😈😈 like kimyōmaru means weird shit. 💩 but they would get proper names as teens.also i think it's odd in like real life when people's surnames are bad like that. stuff like cox. 🐔. why are you not changing that? 🤔🤔
oh no actually the Yasuhiro in Hagakure's name is written differently! it’s 康比呂, whereas for Taeko it's written 安広. So Hiroko did not name her son cheap lol. I think her last name was an ironic meta thing by Kodaka but honestly it does work, kids with names that sound diffent or have odd spellings do sometimes get bullied for it.
that would kind of add a whole new layer to her saying it’s a losers name if she was bullied about it. weirdly enough, despite the fact that i've seen many people who think she was bullied, i never see any ideas or headcanons as to what she was bullied about. maybe that’s to dark. and it was probably multiple diffent things as well
From what we can gleam from the manga, she was bullied for having a clear talent (luck in winning games) yet, on top of that talent being kind of lame when not used in gambling, being the most plain girl possible instead of having the kind of extravagance and presence that people in the Danganronpa world expect of the talented, the ones who seek to become "Ultimates" / the elite of society. The talent factor is key - not many people would bully an ordinary girl if she was just an ordinary girl, but by possessing that kind of talent Taeko was expected to be more "special" than that. Hence we she now overcompensates as Celeste.

Is it fair to say that even if Rapunzel had checked on Varian or at least sent people to do so, he probably would’ve still done what he did? He’s not a bad kid but he’s got a history of not thinking things through, had just lost his dad and blamed her so he wouldn’t have to admit it was his fault, plus he was still a teenager and we all know they can make stupid choices.
i agree lowkey…
would rapunzel checking up on varian changed anything ?
I think it would have, sure he has a history of not thinking things through but also consider the fact that this is a very intelligent 14 year old who was left to spiral for however long in a house with what is effectively his father’s corpse, entirely alone. I think that’d drive anyone a little crazy. As far as he knew, he was abandoned by the person he called a friend, his own king had essentially launched an attack on him before he even made a move. Despite all that we still see some SLIGHT hesitance during The Alchemist Returns, sure it’s short lived but that’s already harder all those previous events mentioned had happened. Sure I think he might have been angry regardless, but I doubt it would bring that about, especially when we consider the narrative importance of Varian’s villain arcs
Varian’s villain arc served as a lesson to Rapunzel during Cassandra’s villain arc that people *can* change, they *can* be saved. Rapunzel made the mistake of giving up on Varian rather quickly, we see that in The Alchemist Returns with her ‘I don’t even know what he is’ comment. Has Rapunzel reached out sooner, I think there would be a monumental difference
Is it fair to say that even if Rapunzel had checked on Varian or at least sent people to do so, he probably would’ve still done what he did? He’s not a bad kid but he’s got a history of not thinking things through, had just lost his dad and blamed her so he wouldn’t have to admit it was his fault, plus he was still a teenager and we all know they can make stupid choices.
i agree lowkey…
would rapunzel checking up on varian changed anything ?
why would he still do the exact same things if he had actually received help? he might still be trying to free Quirin, and he would probably still make some reckless decisions, but what reason would he have to go about it the way he does in the show? he does not do everything he did just because he is a reckless teenager who was always destined to snap. there is a difference between recklessness and desperation 😭
that argument treats his behavior like it exists in a vacuum. being impulsive does not mean someone will inevitably arrive at kidnapping, blackmail, and revenge. prolonged stress and social rejection are two key factors in why he did everything he does. support is not some irrelevant detail here, it is one of the things that could have interrupted him escalating to this point
and before Varian even resorts to any of that, he tries asking normally. Rapunzel promises that they will figure out the rocks together. when Quirin is being encased, Varian goes directly to her, explains that his father is in danger, tells her that she is the only person who can help, and repeatedly begs her to come with him. he is not calmly told that someone will help later. the guards drag him away while he is panicking and screaming that his dad needs help. Rapunzel tells them not to hurt him, but she does not stop them from doing what is practically an attempt on his life (throwing him into a deadly blizzard)
also, saying that he “lost his dad and blamed Rapunzel so he would not have to admit it was his fault” is way too reductive. yes, Varian feels guilty, and by the finale that guilt has turned into denial and displaced blame. Rapunzel did not cause the accident that trapped Quirin. but that also does not mean her choices and Corona’s treatment of Varian had absolutely no effect on what happened afterward
more than one thing can be true at once. Varian can be responsible for the experiment going wrong while also being a frightened fourteen-year-old who was abandoned during the resulting emergency. his guilt does not magically erase the fact that Rapunzel promised to help, watched him get dragged away, and never went to check whether he was actually okay.
(her dad told her he handled it. but after, like, the second time that he lies to her she should probably realize that he isn't to be trusted at face value)
Quirin is not even simply dead. he is trapped in the middle of Varian's home and might still be able to be saved, meaning Varian cannot grieve or accept the loss. he is left staring at a potentially solvable problem every day with no adult helping him solve it
on top of that, his desperation for an immediate solution makes even more sense when you consider what his situation actually looks like. he is completely alone. his only parent is trapped right in front of him, and he Needs him. people in the village are spreading rumors about him and random men are breaking into his home over the graphtyc, harassing him, and possibly even hurting him because of it. any child in that situation would want their parent. Quirin is the only person who wouldn't hurt him like this.
on top of everything else, he likely blames himself for what happened. there is no one around to reassure him that it was not his fault, no adult to help him process it. instead of being comforted, he has to try to convince himself that it is not his fault, which just feeds into his instability. this need to fix this mistake.
Varian never insists that Rapunzel should have abandoned the entire kingdom for him. when they reunite, he tells her that she had to save Corona and did what she had to do, but that she can help him now. that means he was still capable of understanding her position and accepting an explanation. what he wanted at that point was not revenge. he wanted her help, and Rapunzel's behavior was making it increasingly clear as they progressed through the episode that he could never have simply asked for it, considering she seemed to barely extend any concern towards Quirin or Varian's situation and only seemed worried about Corona 😭
(it still baffles me how they didn't say a single thing about Varian after seeing his dad's corpse suspended in amber???? helloooo your friend is an orphaaann? oh okay no one cares i guess)
he also was not simply becoming paranoid in isolation. his warning says that people are watching and will do anything to stop Rapunzel from retrieving the graphtyc. those masked men later turn out to be members of the royal guard who were secretly ordered by Frederic to seize the scroll. whether or not the show tells us exactly when Varian first encountered them, his warning is proven correct. Varian would have had to have interacted with the guards/masked men at least once. How else would he know that the graphtyc is what they wanted, and that they do "ANYTHING" to get it?
then there is the scene with the Sundrop. Varian outright explains his reasoning. he begged Rapunzel and Corona for help, everyone turned their backs on him, and now he believes “it has to be this way.” this establishes that his methods developed in response to believing every legitimate option had failed. he is not doing this for the love of the game!!
when Rapunzel tells him that they can still fix everything together and promises to help, he pauses and visibly begins to reconsider. after months of isolation, fear, guilt, and escalating bad decisions, she is still almost able to reach him with ONE genuine offer of help
what breaks that moment? the guards arrive, and Eugene immediately shouts for them to get Varian. from Varian’s perspective, this is almost the exact situation that traumatized him before: he begs Rapunzel to help, guards come to drag him away, and she does not prevent it. of course he assumes her promise will disappear the second he is in custody. he has already been taught that if the guards drag him away, she isn't going to stop them.
the fact that he was so close to listening after everything he had already done is probably the clearest evidence that none of it was inevitable. how much easier would it have been to reach him earlier, before the isolation, the public hostility, the guards, the theft, and the belief that nobody would ever help him?
and using his age against him honestly supports the opposite conclusion. yes, teenagers can be impulsive and make terrible decisions. that is exactly why the adults around a distressed teenager are supposed to intervene. you know? maybe stop the situation from escalating? you cannot argue that Varian was too young and emotionally immature to make sensible choices while also arguing that support from responsible adults would have made no difference whatsoever
Varian is effectively an orphan at this point. Rapunzel could have given him shelter in the castle until they inevitably met Adira and were led to the Dark Kingdom. that would have given him both safety and the exact answer he had been searching for. once he knew there was a real path toward freeing Quirin, he would have had no reason to resort to everything he does later
oh my days this was a FEAST to read, an angel gains a pair of wings every time people don’t infantilize varian and recognize how wrong/unfair it is to water all of his actions down to “reckless teenager behavior” like uhm yall did we watch the same first season
Counterpoint: Varian had already made a vow to himself and to his frozen father ("And I swear right now") that no matter what happened from that point, even if he couldn't find the solution he was looking for, that everyone in Corona who stands or had stood in his path would be made to pay for it. If Rapunzel had come to visit him the first chance she got (which would have been the correct, caring and responsible thing for her to do), saw Quirin's situation sooner and explained her position from back during the blizzard, that would definitely give Varian reason to take her off of his shit list. The struggle would then be that Varian, even as his mood cooled down, would still want some form of retribution or penance from the king and queen, Nigel, the guards, and the people of Corona who didn't help him and his father and Old Corona Village in their time of need.
So while he'd not have escelated into becoming a threatening homicidal super terrorist if Rapunzel had got back to him before King Frederic fucked shit up again, he'd still have his angst over feeling cast aside and betrayed by Corona, a lot of issues to work out with himself and a lot of things he'd want to do to let it all out. His spiral into villainy was preventable, but his loss of innocence was not.
Can you dislike a female character without it being misogyny? Sure. Some character just don't vibe with you.
But when people talk about how horrible and mean she is to Eugene....... when their bickering is mutual...... I'm not saying people do it CONSCIOUSLY, buuuuuut.... there's a very clear reason one character is considered 'funny' while the other 'mean'.
if varian’s villain arc was reasonable, then so was cass’. Listen, she’s a victim of abuse and they both were just coping in a less healthy way, yet cass gets hate for it but varian never does :(. She felt just as betrayed by Rapunzel (even if she wasn’t) and has just as much overlooked trauma as varian.
i think varians arc was more well written and easier to follow. but yeah it’s unfair that cassandra gets more hate than varian..
I think that Cassandra's villain arc, given everything we had been shown about Cassandra's character, was completely understandable.
Do I think her taking the moonstone without knowing any consequences (not knowing that she was saving Rapunzel) and running away to "find her destiny" was a good thing to do? No, but in the same way that Varian drugging an entire castle wasn't a good thing to do. Bad actions, but I can see the thought processes and understand why they did it.
Similar with Varian attacking the castle and kidnapping the queen, and Cassandra kidnapping Varian and challenging Rapunzel. Both of these moments are like turning moments in their villain arcs, where they shift from understandable bad actions to proper villains.
I think this also reveals the actual issue, which is the execution of their villain arcs.
After this turning point Varian is arrested and we don't see him again for a full season. When we do see him again, he has done more bad but also has clearly thought about his actions and begun to regret them of his own accord. Rapunzel tells him he can be redeemed, that he can't just erase everything, instead of having to fully convince him to change. It feels a lot more like a natural character progression - he is, after all, a kid, and he doesn't want to be a terrorist and explode an entire kingdom.
Comparatively, Cassandra just kinda... keeps going? She keeps getting worse. Both times she is given a chance at redemption something gets in the way and she reverts back to being evil, to the point where she takes over the entire kingdom. When Cassandra finally does get redeemed, it is after an entire season of Rapunzel begging her to stop and turn back, begging her to be her friend again. It also isn't helped that the narrative essentially spells out for the audience that she will be redeemed, meaning every time she refuses redemption feels cheaper than the last.
Compare Season 3 opening to finale, the episodes where Varian and Cassandra get trapped in prison with Rapunzel and 'officialise' their redemption. In Varian's case, he had already betrayed the Saporians, he had already made his choice. Cassandra was locked up with Rapunzel and only then did she consider switching sides again. Cassandra seemed to choose redemption only when all other options were exhausted.
I think the writers did Cassandra so undeniably dirty in season three. It was as if they wanted to create a scary and dramatic and emotional villain without thinking about how they would have to sustain that villain and what it would mean for the story to redeem her in the end (as it was obvious was going to happen for too much of the show).
Cassandra's trauma could have been written so incredibly well, and she could have worked as a villain if her writing was given more care.
Imagine if there was more focus on her feelings of inadequacy, that she was being pushed aside due to reasons outside of her control? Rapunzel having to reckon with a societal issue that goes beyond just her? Cassandra's anger being something that surely everyone could relate to in some capacity? I wish her villain arc was more centred around her being overlooked and left "waiting in the wings" as opposed to her issue being with Gothel and Rapunzel being Gothel's daughter, which quickly made her seem unreasonable.
She could have been so much better and I'm still mad that she wasn't
Just posted about how Cassandra's villain arc fell apart.
One thing I want to note is that Cassandra had already betrayed Zhan Tiri prior to getting imprisoned with Rapunzel. But unlike Varian with the Saporians, it was done for villainous reasons rather than redemptive ones, as Cass wanted the combined power of the sun and moon to be her's so that she could recreate and rule Corona, so she was being the lesser evil rather than the greater good.
unpopular opinion: cassandra's villain arc was only bad because it was for the wrong reason. imo she could have snapped in a desperate attempt for power or freedom(provided we had gotten more insight into her craving for it) or maybe zhan tiri told her she had to take the moonstone because she would survive where rapunzel wouldnt, then when she takes it she gets corrupted and whatnot. I think it was a really cool concept that the writers majorly fumbled but could have easily worked if they thought it out more.
I'm gonna go further and say that taking the moonstone was a desperate attempt for power or freedom, and what motivated her to do that, get her emotions and mental filter corrupted by the power, and do all the other stuff she was doing from "Rapunzel's Return" to "Cassandra's Revenge" was perfect as it was. It was spelled out plainly and fit with all the buildup Cassandra's character had by then.
"I'm Gothel's daughter, and your destiny...belongs to ME!"
She could put aside all of her resentments about Rapunzel taking all the limelight and having the great destiny while she's left waiting for her big turn because Rapunzel's friendship mattered that much to her...until this. Finding out that her own beginnings were, sans tower, identitcal to what Rapunzel's life under Gothel would become, meaning she could've had that greater destiny she's been waiting for had Gothel not back then chosen to abandon her in favor of raising Rapunzel up to be the daughter she'd initially was and to have the big adventure she could've lived out had Gothel kept her, was the line in the sand for Cass. That's what made her embrace the moon power and backtrack her journey to find where her destiny is meant to take her, which she eventually determined was back in Corona so that she can join the stones back together and rule the land, leading to "Cassandra's Revenge."
But then what spoiled this progression? Or rather who?
The writers clearly had no idea how to keep Cassandras the main antagonist while Zhan Tiri was now physically out and about, and so the writing and handling of Cass' villain arc got DUMB. Cass decides she suddenly wants to control the Brotherhood to make them her loyal servants just because Zhan Tiri tells her she should. Rapunzel is then straight up told to her face by Zhan Tiri that she is Zhan Tiri and is using Cass, yet in the next episode she never tells Cass this, let alone as the FIRST thing she says to her. Cass again has no mind of her own anymore 'cause she's told to investigate Gothel's old cottage for Gothel's ghost by Zhan Tiri, in the process getting more hung up on her birth mother than she'd been before as though wishing her abuser was still alive to raise and love her was now a thing and resenting Rapunzel for having been raised by said abuser instead and a factor in her death is what motivates her villainy against Rapunzel and Corona. Cass almost comes around only to be decieved by a shortened childhood memory slipped to her by Zhan Tiri, and then when she learns of Zhan Tiri's deception and her identity, she just has a regression where she tries to be good only to slide right back into her villainous ways because Zhan Tiri fucks everything over AGAIN and it makes her angry, which is now really what her motivations boil down to - childish anger. It was so lame.
She's pretty cool again in the series finale bc Jase Ricci writes her well, but the way to getting there was filled with painful wasted potential that did great harm to Cassandra's character, her villain arc, her reputation, and Zhan Tiri's effectiveness as a villain (yes, far more so than her disappointing final boss form design.)

It's definitely an improvement over the first in a lot of areas, even if I didn't care for some of the new villains/antagonists. While Roxy Rocket, The Spectre, Rose & Thorn, and Mad Monk were pretty good, I am mixed on Riddler and Hugo Strange, and foes like Mr. Zero, Mad Hatter, and sadly Scarecrow weren't up to par.
On the upside the clown was undeniably perfect.
While far from definitive, Caped Crusader's Joker is the delightful mashup between the Golden Age, Nolanverse, Gotham, and Absolute iterations of the character. He's dark, he's grimm, he denies that he's insane, but underneath it all he's still an empty madman with a love of theatrics, a sick sense of humor, and an infatuation with Batman. I also love how much of a behind the scenes antagonist he is throughout this season, picking over scraps from previous major players or getting hired help for his endgame. It really helps add more weight to his confrontation with Batman in the two-part finale. Overall, Mr. J stole the goddamn show this season.
How would you rank DTFA and Survivor if you reviewed them as ASOOT arcs?
//Yeahhhh no its not happening since I would literally die if I did this.
//Survivor not only has someone reviewing the arcs and while I am not saying you can only have reviewer per askblog, but I feel they have better knowledge of Survivor then me so I would leave it to them.
//As for DTFA, I have too much insider knowledge and as such I am unable to review since unlike the average reader, I KNOW where the plot is going. So it won't be fair from a integral side.
//Survivor not only has someone reviewing the arcs
(With that said, my public series of posts here on Tumblr reviewing the arcs of Phase 1 and Phase 2 will not be having any sequels. I do plan on reviewing all future arcs, but on a different platform, though I will likely send Tumblr asks to Survivor with my most important thoughts after each arc is done.) And thankfully, that's gonna start sooner rather than later.
//There are few things in life that instantly brighten up my day and give me immense joy.
//An ask from you is one of those things, so hello Aliza and a massive massive good to have you back.
//How are you doing Aliza? Is this a grand return to Tumblr or and I think this one is more likely, you have access for a few days/week before disappearing into the night once again.
//Regardless if this is a temporary visit or not, its so SO good to have you back.
