A blog for Dating Modes' events! Run by byakuya-mioda.

So uh

Hey all, byakuya-mioda here! As you all may have noticed, every post on this blog going back to July 2016 has vanished. My co-collaborator, ultimate-illusionist, has also deactivated his account without a word to me. Tumblr Support has told me that someone with admin access must have deleted the posts/reset the blog, and that there's nothing they can do on their end.

So I'm... very confused? I'm glad the island/school mode content is intact! But i do not personally have the resources (or the time!) to reconstruct the blog as it was. I'm so, so sorry to everyone who has come to know this blog as a resource. I hope it can still continue to be as it is. I'll think of what my next steps will be soon.

Hopefully this post stays put!

Dangan Ronpa Island Mode Is Complete!

Well... there we have it! After almost two years, a whole lot of precise coordination of the Select and Home Screen buttons on my Vita, I’ve chronicled every single Island and School Mode event in the series, and the masterposts are all fully updated. Was it all worth it? YES. VERY YES.

I really hope you guys enjoyed taking this journey with me - and, if you’re just finding this blog, I hope you enjoy all that you have ahead of you to read!

And a hearty thank you to lore-a-lie and ffortissimo, for their valuable contributions to this effort.

“Wanna do some gardening?”

“I’m more of a detached observer. I really hate taking baths, so I don’t wanna get dirty…”

I don’t think things could have gone any worse than that. Crap…

HOLY SHIT THERE WE HAVE IT. THE VERY LAST EVENT.

Stay tuned for some closing words from yours truly.

“It’s super humid in here, huh?”

“If you wanna raise this many plants, you don’t have too much choice. But personally, I like it here. All this plant-based respiration is good for my brain-based inspiration!”

I get the feeling he didn’t have much fun…

*looks into the camera like i’m on The Office*

“I’m a big fan of music.”

“Me, too. I love music! When I’m doing a reading, I use music to set the mood and reel them in. That’s one of the most important parts! The people who come to see me totally fall for stuff like that, ya know.”

He says that stuff like it’s normal…

It looks to me like he had a really good time.

[danganronpaislandmode]

“Kinda boring here, huh?”

“There’s plenty of stuff to keep yourself occupied! You just don’t have the proper ambition! You need to wake up, Makoto!”

I get the feeling he didn’t have much fun…

[danganronpaislandmode]

“I’m not sure about any of these games…”

“Then all that’s left is to flip through these magazines. So… let’s see if we can find any dirty fold-outs! Oh, but not for you, Makoto! You’re too young!”

It looks to me like he had a really good time.

Even Hagakure knows not to expose minors to adult content

“Did you learn your skills from a book?”

“Huh? No, I just practiced. Books never had anything to do with it. Why would anyone wanna hafta rely on a book?”

I get the feeling he didn’t have much fun…

[danganronpaislandmode]

“Have you ever published a book?”

“Um… no. I mean, nobody’s ever asked me to publish one or anything, so…Wait, I got an idea! I’m gonna write a book and become an overnight success! “The End of Waiting Days!” You’re gonna help me write it, right!? Just make something up! Say that my predictions helped you become a billionaire or something!”

It looks to me like he had a really good time.

“I just wanna read comics…”

“Yeah, how come these people hate comics so much? Our teachers are always like, “Don’t be prejudiced!” But they’re the most prejudiced ones of all! School libraries need to learn to be more open-minded!”

I think we both had a pretty good time.

I fully agree, but that is very much not what they’re talking about when they talk about prejudice.

“Here’s some tarot cards!”

“Hmm…? Are you talking to me? I read fortunes by pure inspiration! I don’t need anything besides that! They *do* seem pretty useful, though. As long as they’re here, may as well give ‘em a shot…”

I get the feeling he didn’t have much fun…

[danganronpaislandmode]

“Want something to drink?”

“Oh, um… Anything besides water, coffee, soda, or tea. Don’t really like any of those.”

So… what’s left?

I get the feeling he didn’t have much fun…

BOOOOZE

[danganronpaislandmode]

“That flower’s kinda creepy…”

“It’s so big! It barely fits in my field of vision… I feel like it could attack at any second. I don’t like it… Let’s not get too close, okay?”

I get the feeling she didn’t have much fun…

Definitely a good move there, Asahina - and with that, her events are done! Up next to be done is Hagakure - and then, DRIM’s first project is complete!

“We can’t eat these chickens…”

“For serious. That’s way too cruel! If you’re goin’ down that road, get a cow! Beef is where it’s at. Beef reigns supreme! And cows are good cuz they let us commune with the great unknown… They’re such an amazing, gentle species. And they’re super tasty! Perfect!”

If they’re so amazing, why is he so eager to eat them?

It looks to me like he had a really good time.

“Do you like this place?”

“I’ve decided that as long as we’re in this school, it’s my duty to guard this area. I have to make sure the plants don’t rise up and attack us! Ah! I’ve already said too much…! You shouldn’t see plants as the enemy of the human race.”

But… he just *said* they were. Doesn’t he realize it’s too late?

I think we both had a pretty good time.

[danganronpaislandmode]

“Look at those chickens!”

“Oh! You like ‘em too, right!? For serious, I love these little guys. They’re so cute. And there’s five of them! Five! You know, the only natural number between four and six! Having five of them is crucial, Makoto! So take good care of them!”

Why do *I* have to take care of them…?

It looks to me like he had a really good time.

I LOVE HAGAKURE’S LOVE OF THE CHICKENS

“How accurate is flower fortune-telling?”

“You mean that “loves me, loves me not” stuff? That’s… not really fortune-telling. That’s just something kids do to make themselves feel good. Why would I waste my time on that?”

I get the feeling he didn’t have much fun…
