I saw you answered an ask about animals so allow me to show you mine. She’s a rescue and I would die for her. Her hobbies include making biscuits and flopping onto her side whenever a human approaches in hopes she gets pets.
Heh ♡
Ah! Can she be in my new DICE Tactical Kitty-Cat Division?
I was thinkin' - as much as I don't wanna admit the idea of having a mascot for my brand of marauding, evil bastardhood came from Enoshima...
Credit where it's due, I guess! Plus it's not like she can sue me or whatever - Naegi's butt exacted butt-shaped revenge against her!
She's quite beautiful and seems very happy and peaceful.
Animals can be a unique inspiration for hope, you know--?
... Ouma-kun, did you just say 'exacted butt-shaped revenge'?
Sure did! What about it?
Heh. Just curious... What do you think his backside was seeking revenge for?
...
I dunno, do I look like a butt-whisperer, Koma-chan? Do I look like somebody who has some type of gift that allows me to commune with asses?
Well, you do talk to Togami-kun sometimes...
BURN!
Glad to see I'm havin' an effect on ya, Nagito! I was worried about ya before!
Worried about me..? What for?
You were too nice! Your insults weren't corrosive enough! I was so concerned about you, I was gonna make you the commander of the TKCD!
Ah! Could I do that anyway?
I dunno... Now that you're makin' progress toward being a ghoulish fiend, or maybe a fiendish ghoul, I kinda wanna keep you close to me.
Ok.
Y'know, to make sure you don't relapse - if you wanna rot an apple, you gotta keep it near a rotten one, right?
...
I guess that's one way of looking at it.
Ok, you talked me into it. The TKCD can be right there in the main base - I'll just have to keep an eye on ya.
Excellent!
[ mod note: What a cutie! Thank you for sharing! ⊙ u ⊙! ]
I actually recommend everyone write for a rarepair once because it completely changes your relationship with fandom. Engagement stops being numbers and starts being names. You know who's going to show up. You recognize usernames. Someone disappears for a while and then comes back and you're like “OH MY GOD WELCOME HOME.” It's incredibly wholesome. It is also deeply inconvenient when all six of you simultaneously get writer's block-
one of my fav things abt oumaeda conceptually is how much it seems like kokichi would meet his match with nagito LMAOOOO he wouldnt be able to outweird him, he wouldnt be able to harass him (well it wouldnt be effective)
I will not ask what your motive was because I know you aren't going to answer honestly xD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'll assume you have one but you probably wouldn't want to reveal that information...
But about the diary entries, chat logs, etc? It was a lot of work to put in to spite somebody who wouldn't know about it... I'm sure you will agree? You wouldn't have a lot of time to work on these things while you were with Nagito most of the time...
But the specific thing I wanted to bring up is:
what if Junko's plans didn't get stopped by her death in some way? What if her plans for worldwide despair ended up taking hold and the dead man's switch never triggered?
That's a pretty big issue right... I mean the entire reason she was stopped was a complete accident so its possible her plans might have eventually gained momentum?
Was there anything you were planning on doing to make sure it didn't get to that point?
ó ÷ ò
Or was there just a really high chance of the information not getting posted before things got bad?
Givin' up so fast, Cherry Bomb..?
Oh well! If you're suuuure you don't wanna try your luck, I'll respect your decision!
I don't think my motive is all that important, anyway. Not worth gettin' all twisted up into knots over, y'know?
We got more important things to discuss - like the fact I was aware of that possibility.
Sure, it was a huge risk - I was not planning on killing her myself, for the record. I knew enough about her plans to know it was bad for everybody - myself included, obviously.
I didn't study all that babbling - I barely even skimmed over parts of it, actually - but I got enough from it to know something bad was going to happen.
Buuuut I didn't have any plans on gettin' in the way!
More interesting this way, hmm? Whatever happens, happens!
I set the switch to trigger when enough reports about her death were published from a few reliable sources - I can't reveal 'em, but that was to avoid a false alarm situation.
But I was aware of the risk basically the entire time, and I had no intention of being the one to jump in and interrupt things.
There's a rule, y'know - no directly killin' somebody! Not even somebody like Enoshima!
There's work-arounds (and those are legal - it's good exercise for ya! Find loopholes and exploit 'em!) but the thing it seems like you're asking right now? One of the things, anyway? Is whether I planned on interfering before things went to hell.
And the answer is no. I was not planning on killing her myself.
Wouldja believe me if I told you I knew it would turn out because of my tarot dealer ability..?
...
If so, stop believin' that! Because that's definitely not what happened!
I'm an evil bastard, what do ya want me to say? I knew there was a catastrophe headed for us, and if it didn't get halted, everybody was dunzo.
I set the timer to post everything after she was dunion rings - if somebody managed to handle it before things got bad? Noice!
Good ending, unlocked!
Buuuut if nobody stopped the avalanche of rotting garbage she'd been setting up? Uh-oh!
I'd say 'better luck next time' but..!
The files weren't even definite - I knew there was a chance they would get ignored or doubted... And that also had nothing to do with me. If I tried to help warn everybody about the fact she was planning a huge headache and that headache was still on the way, without her? It was outta my hands then.
If her cabinet of miserable kooks were allowed to roam and continue the crap she'd been yakkin' about all day, every day? Then that had nothing to do with me. I did my part in preventing hell of earth.
...
I will say this... It may or may not have been a high stakes wager, a 'winner take all' situation, to see if my unlucky clover's luck would actually bother to protect him.
It wasn't lettin' him near her, and I don't think he would kill anybody, himself... It's one of the reasons he's my servant, y'know?
So... I guess I just wanted to see a firework show. I wanted to see just how committed Koma-chan's luck was to saving his life, since it works tirelessly against him every other chance it gets.
...
I wasn't disappointed! Nagito's luck saved everybody, and it used Naegi's clumsy butt to do it!
Cool, right?
Not Naegi's butt - I mean the fact Koma-chan's luck can be harnessed and forced to comply!
[Nagito] Do you think non-human animals can experience hope?
...
Definitely not.
Animals have no concept of the future, so that would be impossible for them to conceptualize hope.
That isn't to imply they're stupid and don't understand what's going on at all; they only know the past and present.
An abused animal will remember how it was treated, and will make every effort to defend itself when it's confronted with a reminder of the past.
It doesn't have any concept of the future, not even of tomorrow. It only remembers its past mistreatment, and it's only aware of the events going on around it right now: present danger, and escaping from it.
Maybe I'm wrong - I have been reconsidering a few of my stances lately... It was until just recently that I believed not all humans have hope.
Maybe some still don't - it would depend on the individual, I guess.
Anyway, because these types of philosophical constructions are a human invention, and hope relies on having an understanding of the concept of the future, I'm going to stick with my answer: no, non-human animals do not have hope.
[keech] i think these are more cola flavored candies?
i also have a request for u <3
when u were talking abt the alignments on the other post u specifically mentioned that ur fav is "boring & useful"... but that contradicts how u feel abt boring stuff? also how would boring & useful be preferable over interesting & useful?
just wondering if u could explain that a lil more, feels like im missing something here
...
Those are gummies again - don't they make any cola-flavoured candy that aren't gummies?
What shape are those even supposed to be? They look like hourglasses.
Looks kinda like pork rinds to me.
You're not allowed to have pork rinds, either!
Sure I can! I can't have popcorn, I can't have gummies, but the list didn't say I couldn't have pork rinds!
They're bad for you, so you can't have it! I won't allow it!
What have you done, apple fritter? Now you've got him all worked up. Hee.
I wanna make sure you stay healthy so I can keep you for a long time, Ouma-kun.
...
Don't make me barf!
Heh, sorry. I guess that would be pretty sickening coming from someone like me... Imagine? Taking care of yourself just to be forced to spend even more time with scum--
WhatEVER.
Koma-chan is just tryin' to keep me from answering your question! He doesn't want you to know the truth about my totally fool-proof, bastardly alignment chart--
Ouma-kun's answer to astrology, heh.
HEY!
Good one! Hee!
Let's hear it, master! I would love to try to understand the inner-workings of your alignment chart - it might even help me figure out why you've decided to keep me!
...
Nah, I'm pretty sure King was askin' about something else... He was wanting to know why boring/useful people are so important to me.
I'm... Pretty sure that pertains to me, master.
Go away if you're gonna interfere!
Heh, sorry.
Aaaanyway, boring/useful people are the most useful because it won't matter if they serve a purpose, y'know? Since they're boring, the best thing they can do is get used up.
One thing I can't stand is havin' to expend my interesting pawns, y'know? I wanna keep 'em around for a long time, because you don't find interesting ones very often.
That's why I said boring/useful is my actual favourite - because it doesn't hurt to use 'em up. In actuality, they're tied with interesting/useful on my list of favourite alignments, but for different reasons.
Don't worry about it, ok? If you're in my DICE, you're automatically interesting/useful - I wouldn't let ya in the door otherwise!
can you do me a favor and start liking sweet stuff a little more? lmao its *so* hard to find rainbow stuff that isn't sweet, i even looked for rainbow savory recipes but it was mostly a bunch of candy and desserts rofl
anyway that wasn't what i wanted to say/ask (also you're fine i'm just saying stuff lol)
so you said (at some point in the past) that you would rather have a boring/uneventful life rather than having your luck... but you also attribute your luck to the fact you met kokichi at all... like yes part of the reason you were in and out of the hospital with health issues was because of your luck's backswing (so maybe you wouldn't have been in the hospital a bunch without it?)
but per your own words? you said (without your luck) you would probably still be in the hospital all the time, you would still have both of your parents and you would have no friends
so... i guess what i'm trying to get at here? is would you *actually* prefer that life? meaning a boring/uneventful existence where you did not get selected to go to hope's peak, did not meet ouma, would have both of your parents and your dog still... i feel like that would still be lonely idk
Heh. Sorry...
I like that they're cute - meaning desserts, candy, things like that - but that's my limit.
I wonder what it is about rainbows that make people want to make sugary things to honour them..?
Not a complaint, just wondering.
part of the reason you were in and out of the hospital with health issues was because of your luck's backswing (so maybe you wouldn't have been in the hospital a bunch without it?)
That's an understatement - a lot of my hospital visits were because of accidents.
It's true that I might have had a weak disposition, a compromised immune system, whatever you'd like to call it, even if I didn't have my luck... But the accidents and mishaps aren't because of my... Feebleness. Haha.
Every once in a while, my luck really lands a punch.
It's why I'm so reluctant to be grateful for anything my luck affords me - the price is always really steep.
(without your luck) you would probably still be in the hospital all the time, you would still have both of your parents and you would have no friends
I don't really have any way of knowing for sure, but... If my life was completely average and mundane, the odds are I wouldn't have lost my parents and my dog in freak accidents.
I still would have no friends though, because of who I am, and can't help being.
I feel like having a modest support system like that one would be more emotionally fulfilling than having no guarantees, that's all... Without my luck constantly working against me, I would still be me, so I doubt that alternate version of myself would have any better luck at socializing than I do.
...
i guess what i'm trying to get at here? is would you *actually* prefer that life?
Isn't it a little pointless to ask? No offense.
How I feel about it doesn't actually matter, does it? Whether I would prefer a mundane, drab life where nothing unpredictable happened, or if I settled into accepting this one where nothing is guaranteed, any terrible thing could be waiting around the corner just to prove a point to me that I have no control and never will...
Wishing won't change my circumstances.
I spent a long time wishing things would finally work out in my favour, even if it was by accident. I used to... Bargain, haha, it was like the stages of grief with me, every single day... Anyway, I used to try to reason with whoever it was that was tormenting me constantly - if they just allowed something to work out for me...
It felt like I'd been imprisoned in an underground bunker and my captors fled, leaving me behind. Whatever amusement they were deriving from my suffering was just completely pointless - no one was there to listen to me. The suffering continued with no one on the other end to reason with.
I wasted a lot of time while I was stuck in the hospital, bitter and desperate, wishing things would be different - even once.
It never happened. Heh.
I eventually realized it might have been me - because of my attitude, maybe I was--? Because I was so conceited and self-righteous and-- everything, all of it? Maybe I deserved whatever happened.
I guess I eventually settled into the acceptance that it was all completely out of my hands. Imagining an alternate scenario where things went differently is pointless - no matter how good or bad they might have been? This is the life I have. A tree can't pull up its roots and relocate to some other place, right?
These roots are mine - for better or worse.
I guess that's a lot of words to say I don't feel that way anymore - there's no point in being wistful for a life I don't have, never will.
...
Heh. I feel like my heart changing may have coincided with my friendship with Ouma-kun... I didn't even have control over that, the way my heart feels.
This might end badly for me... I wish I could say I was prepared.
I guess I might find out before too long, huh?
...
a boring/uneventful existence where you did not get selected to go to hope's peak, did not meet ouma, would have both of your parents and your dog still
I still feel like my heart would be more at-peace in an uneventful life, but... That's hard for me to answer now. It was easier to feel that way before things changed the way they have...
Maybe I really have been around Ouma-kun too much - hearing him complain about boring things so often? It might be influencing my opinion... Because now I'm tempted to say that I don't feel that way anymore.
If I had a boring, uneventful life, I'm sure I would be wishing something interesting would happen.
I guess I'm just impossible to truly satisfy, huh?
( Live Keech reaction: )
[ mod note: This is the last of our Pride Month event posts! Ending on a half-grim/half-hopeful one - pretty fitting, don't you think? XD!! ]
Not sure why this one's bananas and glitter themed XD
I wanted to ask if you know anything about the black curtain ritual? c:
(Sorry for the text randomly being bold, I definitely didn't do that :c I thought I screwed up before and bolded by accident? Apparently it just does that and won't unbold sometimes :c
...
You're not planning on doing that, are you? The black curtain ritual, I mean? It seems like a bad idea to me...
I'm not sure how much my opinion means to you, but I'd strongly advise against this.
It's entirely possible it's just a myth or an urban legend... But is it really worth the risk, miss Candy?
On the off-chance there is any truth to it...
You know how sometimes, people mess with Ouija boards and things of that nature, convinced it's all a parlour trick or a good device for a prank?
I'm not saying I completely believe in these things - I don't actually know how much truth there is behind the legends... But I will say "be careful which door you knock on - somebody might answer."
... Heh.
Now, if you were genuinely asking? If you'd heard it mentioned but didn't get any information about it beyond the name... Thanks for asking me! I do know what that is!
I'm so flattered you would seek out my help! Excellent! It's not every day that I get consulted about things - I'm inc--
Heh. Never mind.
Thanks.
The requirements are pretty steep anyway, so I don't think many people would have the patience to commit to something like this.
You need to have access to a completely empty, thoroughly-cleaned closet, a black curtain or blanket-- oh, and the closet needs to have a lock on it.
Whether it's the kind that's built into a room or the furniture item, either type is fine. The important thing is that it's a clean, empty closet, and you can lock the door.
It obviously needs to have enough space inside to accommodate a full-length mirror, the type you would mount onto a wall or the back of a door. I guess that's another condition for the closet you can use - it can't have so many compartments that it prevents housing the mirror.
When you've got your clean, lockable closet and your mirror (which also needs to be completely cleaned, by the way - no smudges, fingerprints, streaks, speckles), you drape the mirror in the black cloth and store it inside the closet.
Lock the door immediately, and don't unlock it for any reason.
I'm not sure of the exact duration the closet needs to stay locked... But according to the legend, at least? There will be signs when the next phase is ready to start... Unfortunately, that means this could take quite a bit longer than you'd be willing to wait. It might be weeks or even months before you can proceed.
The surest sign the next phase is approaching is that you'll hear noises coming from the room the closet's in - not footsteps or voices, but knocking... It'll be faint, maybe even impossible to hear if the room is well-insulated.
...
Heh, I wonder what would happen if you didn't hear the knocking? If the next phase was ready to begin, but the room or closet were too soundproof?
...
Anyway, when you're absolutely sure you've heard knocking coming from inside that closet, that is when you'd unlock the door.
Do not open it yet. Unlock it only.
When you hear somebody trying the doorknob, that's when you have permission to open the door.
Even if there isn't a doorknob on the inside of the closet, such as with the furniture-type, you'll still hear the doorknob being tried.
...
I don't want to spoil the surprise if you don't know what's coming, haha.
Thank you for the cute cat-octopus thing, by the way! I'll add it to the other ones you gave me!
i was just wondering about something you were asked recently and was kind of curious...
well first of all it was a surprise that the idea of kokichi being afflicted by despair influence doesn't bother you... not judging just surprised...
second it almost looked like you were more impressed by the fact he's under despair influence (working on behalf of hope) than you might have been if he was normal lol (again not judging just surprised)
also since i'm here: what do you think his motive was? *just* his rivalry with junko or do you think it was something else driving all his actions (the collection, the revising, the timing of the dead man's switch, it's a LOT of effort to spite somebody who wasn't going to know about it)
Thanks! That's almost too nice-looking to eat!
What an unfortunate dilemma, huh? Nice-looking food items can't be saved because they'll spoil, but the thought of ruining somebody's hard work makes me feel guilty.
This is why I prefer plain-looking stuff, like toast.
I have a strange relationship with bread being overly sweet-tasting to me, but toast... I guess it gains a savoury note from being burnt? So the sweetness gets cut quite a lot.
But then sometimes the bread slice looks kind of perfect, you know? Perfectly bread-shaped?
...
That's when burning it via toasting comes in handy - now it's ugly enough to eat it, guilt-free!
Isn't it strange that toast is the only thing you can burn and it becomes its own item, with its own name?
Marshmallows can be toasted, but then they're just toasted marshmallows... However, nobody calls toast 'toasted bread'.
Same with pickles, I guess..? Why do cucumbers become 'pickles', but then other things that undergo the pickling process just become pickled... Whatever they are, you know?
...
Haha, whoops, sorry for rambling.
...
it was a surprise that the idea of kokichi being afflicted by despair influence doesn't bother you
I'm not sure why that should bother me..? The thing that matters is the sum of the parts, right? The final result, the bottom line?
The question was being posed as a hypothetical (I think...) so I wasn't taking it too seriously... Ok, maybe I was - I got a little over-excited...
A-anyway, even if Ouma-kun had been impacted by Enoshima-san's influence, the thing that would actually matter would be the final outcome.
Those actions spared millions of people from succumbing to a horrific fate, don't you think? If things had gone according to her plan, things would have taken a turn for the worst... And continued to find new turns to take after that.
...
it almost looked like you were more impressed by the fact he's under despair influence (working on behalf of hope) than you might have been if he was normal
Haha, it's a little difficult for me to imagine Ouma-kun ever being 'normal'...
Sometimes it's like he goes out of his way to be as abnormal and rambunctious as possible...
I don't mean that in an offensive way - he seems like he's trying to ward off... 'Boring people'.
I don't really know what he considers 'boring', except that it's a big deal for him. So he behaves in these outlandish ways in order to avoid having his time wasted, I guess.
...
Anyway, I was more impressed - you're right.
Because of how easy despair is to buckle under - if you're not pushing back constantly, working your hardest to at least maintain your ground? You will lose - quickly.
The question was still a hypothetical, don't forget - miss Candy was asking how I would feel about it if Ouma-kun was tinged by Enoshima-san's despair.
I assumed that's the only change? That his actions to this point would have remained the same - the fact he stopped a massive, approaching disaster--?
I am extremely impressed by that!
Ouma-kun does worry me sometimes, but I'm not sure if it's enough to assume he's been influenced in some way, especially since his behaviour hasn't changed too much... But if he is working on behalf of hope while forcing his own despair down--? Magnificent!
Working so hard is a sign of true hope, wouldn't you agree? Beginning from a neutral standpoint would be much easier - the fact he's having to push back against an undercurrent of self-destructive rot in order to foster hope? Marvelous!
Exceptional!
what do you think his motive was?
... I don't know.
I couldn't begin to guess... I was caught off-guard by the fact he was doing anything at all, considering how we're together all the time... It seemed as if he wouldn't have had enough time to himself to do any of it - maybe a few minutes, here and there?
That's the strangest part about it, right?
He wouldn't have had time to really study or digest the material that was being collected every single day, basically all day long - anything Enoshima-san posted, sent, received? All of it was being collected onto this server, stored until it was time to release the contents.
Ouma-kun could have just left them untouched... He didn't need to omit massive tracts of data, which he claims were selected at random.
He said he would just tap the starting point, scroll, tap the end point, and delete that portion without as much as a quick skim...
He managed to leave nothing that ended up flattering or humanizing for her, however.
Isn't that odd?
I know she had to have some good qualities - there's no way she was completely devoid of them... But from the looks of the data Ouma-kun collected? She was only rotten; there wasn't a single redeeming thing about her.
Her Remnants insist to anybody that will listen that she loved them, she loved everyone... But from her own words? It sounds like she hated everybody, and definitely wished to cause a suffering that would never end, would only get worse the longer it was allowed to endure, until the eventual end of humanity.
Most of her fans had no problem turning against her once the files were released... And I don't know what Ouma-kun's true motive was for any of it. Like you said, it was a lot of work? And it isn't like she would know about any of it.
What was the purpose...? What did he gain from it?
they might look like pieces of cloth somebody sewed together? but the recipe page claims they are poptarts in some way rofl <333
so... i was just wondering.... whats ur opinion on whatever the HELL is goin on w/ kirumi & fuyuhiko?
nagi-samas theory is fuyuhiko has some type of feelings (friendship or otherwise?) for peko & hes like... being unruly bc of that rofl
..?
You're givin' me radioactive impostor poptarts..?
...
Sweet! Turns out, I like 'em even more - in theory, not in practice - if they look as unnatural as the ingredient list!
SCORE!
Got any S'more ones? Hot Fudge Sundae? Birthday Party Carbomb? Or is it just this Irradiated Clownmeat-kind?
Wellllll?
Bonus points on the sprinkles being a horrible colour combo also - jackpot! Look at that crap!
Dark blue, neon green, white, lavender, and bright orange! EWW!
Since I'm sufficiently horrified by this abomination you've offered me, I'll answer your question! Lucky YOU!
whats ur opinion on whatever the HELL is goin on w/ kirumi & fuyuhiko
...
How the heck am I supposed to freakin' know?
... No, seriously, what do you want me to say?
Kuzuryu's got a short temper to match his short everything else - are ya surprised he went off on Miss Maid?
However...
I'm feelin' generous since these poptarts-from-hell are SO ugly, it's actually really funny, so I'll let you in on something that's kinda stickin' out to me, alright?
I seriously don't know much about what's goin' on over there, but I've overheard enough to know that Kuzuryu has repeatedly commanded Miss Maid to quit... All of it. Everything she does? He told her to knock it off.
Sounds like the guy's got some kinda trauma, hmm~?
That's not the intriguing part - the part that is is that Miss Maid has repeatedly defied an order.
I know she reserves the right to refuse whatever she doesn't feel like doin' - I'll admit I kinda assumed that was like, perverted stuff.
You can imagine it, right? Some creep gets a hold of Miss "I'll fulfill any request" and they immediately start askin' for certain kinds of favours, hmm?
I assumed that was the line she probably wouldn't cross.
Hmm. Guess she still could... Refusing a command from a Pint-sized Yakuza and refusing to do any funny business with anybody who gets a little too excited about her servitude.
Aaaaanyway!
Sooo... What's Koma-chan's theory? Kuzuryu has soft, tender, squishy feelings for that 'obviously another living weapon, like the one I've got in my class'?
(get it? rainbow for pride month? dice bc dice? huehue? ...sorry i'll stop lmao <3 <3)
i was just wondering how you would feel about it/handle it if things went differently for once... you talk about how those types of things (love and acceptance, etc) are completely off limits for you, how that has never been your life at any point?
well your life isn't over... there's still plenty of time for things to go differently, you aren't doomed to live in a repeating cycle
however i'm not completely convinced you would accept it if it *was* happening? no offense intended... but if there was somebody who loved you, i'm not sure you would accept the possibility bc of your self opinion...
how do you think you would handle it if a love story was happening (to you), would you be normal about it? meaning would you accept/participate in it? or would you sabotage? (the sabotaging could be accidental but it still counts... if you feel like it doesn't matter or will end bc that is the way it "always goes" that counts as sabotaging it)
I really admire your optimism, haha...
I'm kind of unrealistic sometimes, too. Heh.
I just figured it's probably one of those things you don't appreciate unless you don't have it, you know?
People who make friends easily probably don't appreciate the fact they have them... They're even at risk of taking their friends for granted, right? Because they don't know any alternative - a life where they have no one.
Likewise, a life without love is extremely difficult to conceptualize unless you're in it - and there's no end in sight.
It's better for everybody this way, though... My luck punishes me by ripping everybody I care about away from me - it's better for everybody that I don't get too attached, and no one gets attached to me.
Heh, I feel like that might be the best thing I can offer someone - freedom!
Not only because they're playing a certain life-threatening game every day they've allowed me a place in their life, but also because I can only add to their burden - I can't be anything else.
They'll realize true hope the day they slam the door once and for all, locking me out of their life forever - it's my parting gift to them!
The minutes, hours, days, weeks, months, years... However long it took them to finally wake up and realize how much of a nuisance I am? That entire span of time will be a bad memory and a lesson learned.
They didn't have that before - they didn't know any better, so it's not their fault.
After their time with me, however long their mistake dragged on for? They'll have first-hand experience that they should be more selective about who they allow in through their door.
I'm sure they'll appreciate everything they have with the same vigor as somebody who just walked away from a near-death experience!
It's almost gratifying, to have such a talent!
Helping others realize true hope once they've discarded trash like me! Excellent!
Just like giving your house a thorough cleaning gives you renewed appreciation for what you have? Discarding vermin like me will make you appreciate your life once I'm no longer around to bother you.
No thanks are necessary - it's the least I can do.
I'm not sure if I should classify this as dirt4dirt since I don't have a request and you might not like what I'm about to tell you xD!!!!!!!!! But I overheard something and it was about YOU!
I heard you deliberately wanted to get Mondo on your side because of his reputation but then you were disappointed when he wasn't actually scary at all? What were your original intentions? How did you meet him?
(PS I don't know if this dip is made of marshmallow cream? or cream cheese xD!!!!!!!!!!!!! So... Maybe be careful what you put in there xD!!!!!!!!!)
Heyyyy, you heard correct! The rumour mill is circulating a true thing for a change!
I was extremely disappointed when I discovered mister Ultimate Gang Leader is such a push-over!
Not mad at him or whatever; it actually would've been kinda boring if he was a cruel, bastardly guy, riiiight?
My fault for gettin' my hopes up - bummer...
Just like, thinking about what a great opportunity it was - Hope's Peak lockin' a bunch of criminals up in a school so they could network and organize with each other...
Only to find out the Ultimate Biker Gang Guy is so... Nice!
Sheesh! He's so--!
Good-natured! What the hell!
Seriously, what's that about?
This is exactly why I hate surprises - stuff like this can happen!
...
Aaaanyway!
Like I said, I'm not mad at him or anything - I was just lookin' for somebody who had a different presence, y'know?
More haunted house, less bouncy castle, or whatever.
Seriously, the guy is so nice... His older brother must have been, like, super nice to him..? Does that actually happen? Having family members that are nice to you and don't screw you up for the rest of your life... Seems fake.
I tried my best, most obnoxious stuff when I first met him - to see how ruthless he was, of course... And he was just like, immediately... Bleh!
Just. So. Nice.
I needed terrifying, and the scariest thing about that guy is his reputation.
...
Oh, well! That's life! I don't make those mistakes anymore now that I've got Nagito's notes - he definitely would have given me warning about Owada being such a Christmas Elf!
