Mini Interest Check

would you be interested in a DGS2-3 centric zine?

Yes, as a contributor (writing/art/merch)

Yes, as a buyer/ viewer

Yes, as a moderator

No

Voting ended onJun 8, 2025

The zine would be centered around the events and characters of the case. Pieces of writing/art would be centred around any character/s in the case, but pitches involving case-specific characters would be favoured. Shipping would be allowed, but as a backseat as opposed to the main focus.

Reblogs for reach would be appreciated!

would u guys ever consider doing another benbaro week...

Hi!! We currently have no plans to host another Benbaro week; we all still love Benbaro a great deal, but our energy has generally been directed elsewhere for the time being.

Some of us may consider it if it seems like something people want, though!

Day 3: Great Exhibition

Them on the ferris wheel after looking around on great exhibition hehehehhehehe

I'm actually trying to do scenery since I'm realizing that I'm only focusing on character when drawing art so I went and trying to getting myself out of my comfort zone. Of course it didn't work out at all- But whatever at least I went back and finish it rather than leave the wip file to dust.

Characters: Barok van Zieks, Benjamin Dobinbough | Albert Harebrayne, Original Male Character(s), Naruhodou Ryuunosuke 

Additional Tags: the original character is a prison guard, he’s also in my OTHER benbaro fic about prison!, Alternate Universe - Canon Divergence, Bad Ending, because if Capcom won’t write case-specific bad endings then I will, prison break - Freeform, is that a tag???, Despair, no it’s still not danganronpa-flavored, Guilt, this didn’t start out as explicitly romantic but just became gay naturally, i blame capcom for making them so in love, punishing himself is one of Barok’s greatest skills, it’s my birthday today (this is a lie. it was last week. I am so late for this prompt.), so i get to post (checks notes) an incredibly sad AU of my favorite ship 

Summary:

Ryunosuke did his best to defend Albert, but ultimately lost the trial. This is the aftermath.

MAJOR SPOILERS FOR ALL OF TGAA / DGS2!

I'm closing off @benbaroweek2023 Day 7: AU/Free Day with a bang! Please enjoy my way-longer-than-I-intended fluffy coming out fic! I wanted to put my thoughts about post-canon Barok onto paper and by god I did so.

This is generally a fun fic about Barok telling the people in his life about his relations with Albert, but it's couched in a fairly serious character-study about his personal growth and path forward. I tried to toe the line of serious but silly and hope it's fun to read! To be clear, everyone is accepting, but also teasing. The homophobia at the time is lightly acknowledged, but I wanted to give Barok a break to rebuild some mutual trust and decided not to focus on it.

Barok's dynamics with everyone in his life fascinate me to no end, so... I hope I can inspire you all to think about more family agenda, happy friend times, worsties content, and of course, Barok and Albert's wonderful relationship!

Thank you to everyone who has contribute to this week with both art and fics- I've had a wonderful time exploring new dynamics, ideas, and illustrations with you all! This is the first ever fandom week I've actually completed all the days for- I'm very proud and happy Benbaro could inspire and motivate me like that! I hope I've been able to make your days just slightly more interesting in turn!

Benbaroweek2023 day 6: Reunion

I can only imagine what a physical toll all the stress in Barok's life had on him. I bet Albert was astounded at how much it looked like Barok aged in the time they spent apart.
