My little chudlings

Damon Maitsu stan!

[mimicantcount]

hiii! I'm Mimi <3 I am a huge fan of pjeg (Damon Maitsu is my absolute favorite) and even though it's kinda dead I still wanna write and draw about it! If you have ideas for fics or doodles feel free to send them to me, and uhh that's it pretty much!

I love slandering Wolfgang so if you're a big fan of him sorryyyy

[cupidswoe]

They call them "sweet nothings" for a reason

drew alora to test my new program ^_^= genuinely one of the cutest characters of all time

[ray-quay]

thinking about damon having a habit of skipping meals derived from attempting to lessen the financial pressure on his parents… imagining a younger damon feeling like he has an obligation to relieve his parents of their stress and tries to in any way he can. he eats less. studies more. never really asks for things. GODDD

[rippilie]

Hey rippilie, in Antebellum, who do you think is the most suited for a time loop?

Sorry if I’ve asked this before!

Alora!

Damon as Joker from Persona 5 (phantom thief outfit & Shujin uniform)

some ramblings about this crossover under cut (P5 spoilers!!)

wrote a lot of notes in a separate DM for an AU surrounding this (P5 x PJEG) involving the other characters and their respective roles. will make a post about it later once I get some sketches out

[heli-o-trope]

Okay but Damon must hate the nickname Bargain Bin even more after Wolfgang's death. It's one thing to be compared to a stranger by another stranger. It's another to be compared to a dead man who you beefed with yet begrudgingly respected by someone who bore witness to the treatment he made you endure.

[mimicantcount]

may I offer my propaganda that in a Daganropa x Eden's Garden Universe, Damon is Togami's child? I know it goes against what happens in canon with Damon being the provider for his family but stillll

(Eva would be Mukuro's daughter, and Wolfgang would be a Towa cus ughhhhhhhhh- fraud should be with other frauds- still love him though)

idk about the others though

damon being a togami kid is so peak actually,,, I remember this one post where someone brought up the idea of Damon as a naegami fankid in an au just like the one you described and it was so peak Waugh,,,

Also I really like the idea of the other pjeg cast realizing where exactly all that arrogance comes from (And the fact that compared to his dad, Damon isn't that bad actually)

I imagine with Togami as his dad Damon would be a little bit less confident in his talent bc this time he didn't use it to pull his family out of poverty,,,

But ALSO the idea of Togami being as doting as Damon describes his parents omg. Togami scoffing derisively at some poor sod for interrupting him from his work and then his son comes in and he's just like "hello darling 💖💖💖 sorry but Papa can't talk right now he's a bit busy :(" before turning back around to verbally decimate this guy. Omg

Hi!! I don't post art like ever, but I remembered this old work I made (I started in Jan.. but ended in April bc I'm the #1 procrastinator) that was meant to be like a little thing for my online friend group!! (6 people, drew their favs or chars that reminded me of them)

I'm not too proud of it anymore (especially how soul-less Diana looks like srs how do I even fix that LMAOOO) (maybe it's the direction of the eyes? Sigh) but maybe some people will like it? Shrug

If I could redo this piece.. I'd probably fix cass' bangs they look weird

If this is reposted on any other platform, please credit! Idm otherwise!!

If you care about wips for this drawing or the backstory ↓↓

--------------

Eva was originally going to be watching Kai as seen below ↓↓ but idk I felt like I drew her oddly so that's why I changed it

Jean was planned to be part of it, changed it to toshiko because I figured it fit the person better (out of the few that weren't already included) We stopped being friends before I could work on her, so she isn't included (sorry toshiko fans)

I played tic tac toe with a friend on his forehead while streaming

I never colored in Grace's socks or shoes.. sorry!! Not like you notice upon first glance though, right?

Eva's messages with Damon are inspired by my friends complaining that I never give sufficient context when something is happening

Figglebottom is a reference to a previous official Christmas art, specifically Christmas 2022

Grace and Eva are working together on a puzzle (tho u can barely see) inspired by my friend and i's escape room escapades while in cosplay

Context for the drawing's origin since I think it's funny: we made multiple tier lists of what each person would do in specific scenarios (sleepover, plane crash, random interactions, road trips..) and the person I drew as Kai was placed under "burns the Christmas tree down"

Side note DOES ANYONE KNOW HOW TO TO CHROMATIC ABERRATION ON CSP. I made a ver. with it but had to download it on my phone and push it to ibis paint to add and it butchered the quality and it's so bwahh SO SO BUNS

[se0o]

So apparently Damon was supposed to be Joker from persona in 2025 halloween but fricking S*zzay declined the idea???

Ngl as someone who was introduced to PJEG through an edit of Eva's execution, I should've seen that the person she was going to kill was Wolfgang. Like, I spent the whole prologue and chapter 1 thinking 'who on earth is this girl gonna kill???' as if those two (plus Damon but this aint about him) weren't the main source of conflict, especially so in chapter 1.

I suppose in my mind (pretending I didn't know Eva was the culprit), it made sense for Wolfgang to stay alive for at least one chapter so we could see how he would respond to Eva being proven right that someone would kill despite his insistence that nobody would, and how that would shatter the other students' belief in him and in each other. I thought it would've lead to a schism: students who still believed in Wolfgang bc y'know it was Eva so clearly she was projecting and is an outlier no one else will do this, and students who decided to take Damon's side (at an arms length ofc bc he still insulted their talents). But I'm glad that didn't happen (though some flavor of schism amongst students is still likely to occur). It's not a bad storyline per say, but it is rather predictable. It's far more interesting to see a character fall to their own words, the ones they believed in and the ones they didn't.

Truth be told, Wolfgang and Eva's storylines are more tied together than Wolfgang and Damon's. It's good they died at the same time.

Wolfgang's ways of approaching the killing game wouldn't evolve without Eva there to challenge him. While Damon disagrees a lot with Wolfgang, he still respects him because of his Ultimate.....and he's just not confrontational enough. Bro only spoke up about his contempt for the other's talents after Eva rejected Wolfgang's ideas, feeling bolstered by her. Then, he decided to go to Tozu instead of Wolfgang himself about the blackmail. Not to mention he managed to start reintegrating with the other students, I don't think Damon would be so quick to get himself ostracized again. Wenona doesn't agree with Wolfgang either, but she operates in self interest and knows in such a polarizing environment its smarter to side with the majority and keep quiet than to actively go against the herd.

Likewise, Eva's character wouldn't be tested without Wolfgang. He gets under her skin and agitates her insecurities, therefore her drive to action more so than any other character. She acts against Diana because Diana believes in Wolfgang. Her unwillingness to mend relationships with the other students, unlike Damon, is because they're on Wolfgang's side. Part of the reason Eva and Damon are amicable is because he got pushed away by Wolfgang along with her. If Damon wasn't in the same boat as her, I'm sure her feelings towards him would lean more towards the same as the other students.

-sigh- Hindsight is really 20/20. From the moment the killing game was announced, they were both doomed because of who they were as people.

In the end, all that's left for the students to do is to navigate the absence and try to hold up under the weight of the spaces, truths and lies left behind.

Chapter 4 Daily Life, Diana's POV (100% Real Trust)

Diana Venicia: (It's Damon! Should I go talk to him? I know he's been taking poor Kai's death really hard...)

Damon Maitsu: "..."

Diana Venicia: (He's even more quiet than usual. By now, at least, he'd have said something to tell me off for my naive approach to our situation.)

Diana Venicia: "Hey, Damon!"

Damon Maitsu: "..."

Diana Venicia: (More silent treatment, huh? That's okay! I'll wait until he's ready to talk!)

Damon Maitsu: "The group seems confused on what to do about these new areas, don't they?"

Diana Venicia: "U-Uh-Huh? Tozu's definitely trying to break up our group again, but this time, it won't work! We'll persist, even through this adversity!" (I got him talking!)

Damon Maitsu: "...If Kai were here, I wonder what he'd do.

Diana Venicia: (What's this? Is Damon opening up to me?)

Diana Venicia: (Great job, Damon! I'm so proud of you for speaking up about your feelings! You won't regret this, I promise!)

Diana Venicia: "...I do, too. I bet he'd cling to your arm like he always used to do, ehe!"

Diana Venicia: (The conversation makes me feel wistful... But Damon doesn't seem to feel the same.)

Damon Maitsu: "No, that's wrong."

Diana Venicia: "H-Huh?"

Damon Maitsu: "That's wrong. If Kai were here, he would likely have valuable input for us. Perhaps he would even keep the group together—Just like he always did."

Diana Venicia: (E-Eh? I don't think that's a very accurate description of what Kai was like—Then again, Damon was his roommate for way longer, right? Maybe he just knows better!)

Diana Venicia: (Damon, seemingly noticing my confusion, just scowls, crossing his arms with a huff.)

Damon Maitsu: "Tch. None of you knew him as well as I did. Past the mask he wore, Kai's emotional intelligence was second to none."

Diana Venicia: (I guess???)

Damon Maitsu: "Don't give me that skeptical look—Don't you remember? His emotional intelligence was the only reason we survived the first trial. He was the one who doubted the seemingly certain notion of you being the culprit.

Diana Venicia: "That... Um, that was you, Damon."

Damon Maitsu: "There's no way. I was too paranoid—I still hadn't learned from Kai's wisdom."

Diana Venicia: (While I miss Kai too... 'wisdom' seems a little inaccurate, doesn't it?)

Diana Venicia: (Also, I think Damon's memory is a little bit off. It's okay, though! I'm sure he'll get a chance to jog his memory soon.)

Damon Maitsu: "And furthermore, his open mind was an invaluable asset even outside trials. He was one of the few people who didn't outcast Eva after learning about her true talent."

Diana Venicia: (Damon... Are you sure about that?)

Kai Monteago: A Mathlete? That's, like, social suicide!

Diana Venicia: "Damon..."

Damon Maitsu: "Huh?"

Diana Venicia: "Don't you think you're putting Kai on a bit of a pedestal?"

Damon Maitsu: "No, I'm not."

Diana Venicia: "But—"

Damon Maitsu: "None of you knew him like I did. None of you. You never got to the real him. Kai was highly intelligent, compassionate, open-minded, and supportive. Honestly, don't you at least remember how much of the work he did during all the class trials? Even Jean noticed before planning his murder,n"

Diana Venicia: "I think you're just giving Kai credit for things you did, Damon..."

Diana Venicia: (Damon really is pretty passionate about 'defending' Kai, isn't he? I don't think this is very healthy.)

Diana Venicia: (...Then again, until I found out the truth, I've spent weeks looking up to Wolfgang and ignoring the way he accidentally ended up hurting others. Maybe I don't have room to talk.)

Imagine being Damon post chapter three. The one person you trusted at the start betrayed hou and died. After a bit, you open your heart against to trust someone else... Then they die too. The killer is a fourteen year old who is so clearly scared and so clearly hurting and you're the one who inadvertently sentences her to death by making the accusation that ultimately damns her.

And after all this, the light at the end of the tunnel? The glimmer of hope that shines through at last?

There is none. You're a dead man walking—Your time is limited by a stupid decision you made and now you know you're never going to see the mom and dad you love so much again. And even with what time you do have left, you're trapped in a Killing Game where everyone you cared for has died and you just don't get along with the group.

But here's the thing: You could go home to your Mom and Dad again. You could save your own skin and get the hell out of here. It would be so, so easy. Your death sentence is also your greatest weapon. You have a free kill, and once you use it, the crime will likely be impossible to trace back to you. The others will die and you'll get off scott-free.

Using it seems like the obvious option: All the people in here that you did strongly care about are gone, your family is outside and depending on you to come back and support them, and not doing this will quite literally mean your death. You'll be sacrificing yourself for people that have generally shunned you since the start.

But you—Damon—did not use it. He didn't take the free kill that could've gotten him out of the killing game even though it meant ending his own life.

And I think that says a lot about who he really is as a person.
