SEMI-HIATUS NOTE: unless otherwise specified, the only muse I’m willing to write for at the moment is Daichi Arata. Asks sent to other muses at the moment will likely go unanswered for a long while.

heya! this is an independent, selective, low–activity multimuse blog for danganronpa OCs and canons, written by ben!! enjoy your stay <3

ahem...i'm remaking lol

long story short, this blog is a disaster!! it's messy!! i'm stressed just logging into it babey!!!

so, the plan is to remove a few muses i rarely wrote anyway, unclaim a few of the ocs i claimed from other people bc it's very unfair of me to cling to them when i've done nothing for them, and make the muses i made myself have a default fandomless verse. the exceptions to this are ocs that i've claimed from others that i'm still writing because they were made for danganronpa, so they will keep that as the default verse.

the fandomless label for the rest is mostly just so i can leave a few things vague so i don't have to change too much for them to fit in better with other verses that i wanna add onto them later. once that blog is finished, i'll reblog this post with a link. <3

[parakosms-a]

you can now find most of these muses at @paradisechased now!! not all the bios are up yet ( Daichi and Ritsuko are the only ones with finished pages at the moment ), but i'll be working on this throughout the day!!

as for the muses i didn't move over: Takehiko, Jaques, Seiko, Toshiro, Yen, Kyosuke, Ruruka, and Sonosuke have been dropped because muse for them was either entirely gone or i never got around to fleshing them out and probably never will unfortunately. rest in peace <3

bookmcde:

            “Unlike Dazai, at least you DO your work, so take that as a compliment.” Despite the similarities driving him up a wall- it was a nice case of ‘which one of you did I yell at THIS time?’ for Kunikida. But the one difference was that he could at LEAST rely on Daichi to DO his work… Unlike Dazai, it was like pulling teeth on that end.

    “Speaking of- they’re due soon, just a heads up.”

While  Daichi  may  occasionally  fall  short  in  other  departments  compared  to  his  lookalike  (  specifically  the  kinds  of  scenarios  where  strategy  was  involved;  he  was  smart,  sure,  but  not  THAT  smart  ),  at  least  he  knows  he  can  flaunt  the  fact  he  actually  gets  work  done.  He  completely  surpasses  the  bar,  but  that  isn’t  really  saying  much  when  the  bar  consistently  rests  comfortably  on  the  floor.  He  could  have  tripped  over  said  bar  and  STILL  done  a  better  job.  Daichi  decides  to  brush  over  the  fact  that  he  takes  such  joy  in  doing  the  bare  minimum  anyway  and  responds  with  a  bright  smile  as  if  he’s  not  more  than  a  little  stressed  by  just  how  fast  he’s  worked  to  make  sure  he  stayed  on  schedule.

“  Oh?  A  compliment  for  me,  of  all  people?  Why,  I’m  honored,  sir!  ...But  seriously,  no  worries.  I’m  well  aware  of  the  deadlines  and  I’ll  be  finished  soon.  ”  With  that  out  of  the  way,  he  turns  to  what  remains  of  the  paperwork  with  his  smile  fading.  He’s  clearly  plenty  ahead,  but  surely  there  will  be  more  to  do  after  this...  Will  he  even  have  time  to  rest  afterwards?  Can  he  really  afford  to  waste  time  on  something  like  a  break?  What  if  something  happens  that  halts  their  progress?  What  if  his  own  progress  is  hindered?!

“  Hm...  Say,  Mr.  Kunikida?  Since  I’m  almost  done  here,  is  there  anything  else  we  need  to  get  done?  Whatever  it  could  be,  just  name  it,  and  I  can  get  to  it  as  soon  as  I’m  done  with  this!  ”

* QUOTES ABOUT DESPAIR PROMPTS ,

losing your life is not the worst thing that can happen, the worst thing is to lose your reason for living.

how could i have been so ignorant?

the bravest thing i ever did was continuing my life when i wanted to die.

i wish i could tell you how lonely i am.

when you say you believe, you allow the possibility of disappointment.

to hope for nothing, to expect nothing, to demand nothing: this is analytical despair.

i have no plans, no idea, no project, and, what is worse, no ambition.

anyone who retreats into a cave which has only one opening deserves to die.

some days you think you can’t go on because the only thing waiting for you is more despair.

the road that is built in hope is more pleasant to the traveler than the road built in despair, even though they both lead to the same destination.

those who make us believe that anything’s possible are often the ones who have survived the bleakest of circumstances.

it is not despair, for despair is only for those who see the end beyond all doubt.

there is a dark place calling to me, but i will not go just yet.

i can still hear the screams, they wake me in the night.

you have to maintain a fine balance between hope and despair; in the end, it's all a question of balance.

to be truly radical is to make hope possible rather than despair convincing.

does anything in nature despair except man?

people see what they think is there.

whatever happens in your life, no matter how troubling things might seem, do not enter the neighbourhood of despair.

some people are silently struggling with burdens that would break our backs.

everywhere there is conflict and unkindness.

those who have every reason to despair, but don’t, may have the most to teach us.

why does it have to be like this?

do not let arrogance go to your head and despair to your heart.

i don't know how to be this kind of villain.

life is filled with unanswered questions, but it is the courage to seek those answers that continues to give meaning to life.

i cannot do it, i cannot bear it; i cannot go back to what i was here.

despair suggests you are in total control and know what is coming; you don't.

it's funny how despair can soon become an old companion.

when all else is lost, the future still remains.

i have lost everything.

there's only one great evil in the world today, despair.

how do i tame my pain?

i shouldn't be so lucky.

i despise wisdom and the blessings of this world; it is all worthless, fleeting, illusory, and deceptive, like a mirage.

sometimes you can cry until there's nothing wet in you and it still makes no difference.

the whole thing is quite hopeless, so it's no good worrying about tomorrow; it probably won't come.

it appears that happiness is easier to get used to than despair.

i had to experience despair, i had to sink to the greatest mental depths in order to experience grace.

my days are as long as despair can make them.

the only real laughter comes from despair.

the difference between hope and despair is a different way of telling stories from the same facts.

it is still our choice whether to live in light or lie down in darkness.

despair is the price one pays for self-awareness; look deeply into life, and you'll always find despair.

i have had to experience so much stupidity, so much error, disillusionment and sorrow, just in order to become a child again and begin anew.

grief is one big, gaping hole, isn’t it?

you can spend your life wallowing in despair, wondering why you were the one who was led towards the road strewn with pain, or you can be grateful that you are strong enough to survive it.

in the next world i could not be worse than i am in this.

you can tell a lot from a person's nails; when a life starts to unravel, they're among the first to go.

in the midst of happiness or despair, do what is right and you will be at peace.

some days you don’t want to go on because it’s easier to give up than to get hurt again.

the thing that binds us together is that we have both lowered our expectations of life.

there have been tyrants and murderers, and for a time, they can seem invincible, but in the end, they always fall.

whatever happens in your life, no matter how troubling things might seem, do not enter the neighbourhood of despair.

it is for your own good to love a daredevil rather than a holy coward.

life is a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing.

it’s awful, telling it like this, isn’t it?

you aren’t falling apart, you’re well beyond that.

urgency and despair don't get along well.

i do not like the idea that one day i shall be tapped on the shoulder and informed, not that the party is over but that it is most assuredly going on in my absence.

never trust the advice of a man in difficulties.

i need to be alone.

when someone is in despair, it means they still believe in something.

despair is something surprising each time you encounter it.

we can travel anywhere we want, even to other planets, and for what? to sit day after day, declining in morale and hope.

sometimes you have to use your failures as stepping stones to success.

do you love me enough that i am allowed to be damaged?

the heart has no tears to give, it drops only blood, bleeding itself away in silence.

the greatest hazard of all, losing one’s self, can occur very quietly in the world as if it were nothing at all.

it is easy to be thankful when all is well.

it's despair that anyone can even contemplate the idea of dropping a bomb or ordering that it should be dropped.

if you knew everything that was going to happen next, if you knew in advance the consequences of your own actions: you'd be doomed.

do you love me enough that i am allowed to be weak in some places?

the wounds that never heal can only be mourned alone.

hope was an instinct only the reasoning human mind could kill; an animal never knew despair.

why does life have to be so short, with all the good things passing quickly?

you may be proud, wise, and fine, but death will wipe you off the face of the earth as though you were no more than mice burrowing under the floor.

sit it out, let it all pass, let it go.

this is the way the world ends, not with a bang, but a whimper.

i didn't mean to drown myself, i meant to swim till i sank—but that's not the same thing.

some days simply lay on you like stones.

who are these so called heroes and where do they come from?

if i showed you how much i wanted you, you'd run away.

it was a little thing, but on top of the other little things, it broke something in me.

who ever said there'd be good news?

i found that words like hope and faith were only letters, randomly put together into something meaningless.

my life is a perfect graveyard of buried hopes.

still not off hiatus entirely yet, but,,,,pspsps at Daichi specifically because I just gave him a new verse, way at the bottom of his page-

today i realized three OCs here had VERY similar family situations on complete accident, they all mentioned having four sisters, so i did what any sane person would do and i just made them All Sisters + filled in the 4th with one who doesn't have a full bio yet-

Ritsuko, Kaori, Mizuki, and Sachiko? They're all half-sisters :')

❝ can what we are doing be called “enduring,” when we would not call it that? ❞ akako for suzuki-

Suzuki  wants  nothing  more  than  to  say  that's  exactly  what  it  should  be  called,  but  she  is  not  a  liar.  A  white  lie  may  keep  them  going  a  little  while  longer,  but  false  hope  will  crumble  fast, especially in the despair-ridden world they live in now.  That's  a  lesson  she's  already  taught  herself.  Optimism  is  never  a  bad  thing,  but  a  touch  of  realism  is  needed,  too.  And  the  truth  of  their  situation  is  that  things  aren't  looking  good.

The  classmates  they  haven't  already  found  may  be  dead,  she  knows  that's  one  of  the  more  likely  situations.  That  possibility  breaks  Suzuki  more  and  more  each  day,  and  there's  no  telling  how  much  it's  crushing  Akako.  They  may  push  forward even now,  but  it's  painful,  it's  taxing.  It  hurts  to  even  bother  when  they  may  only  find  the  corpses  of  their  closest  friends.  This  doesn't  count  as  enduring,  they  just  keep  going  because  there  is  no  better  alternative.  It's  a  necessity.  If  they  stop,  they've  failed.  There  is  nothing  satisfying  about  what  they're  doing,  not  when  success  is  so  uncertain,  but  " quit "  isn't  in  their  vocabulary.  This  is  not  " enduring ",  of  course  it  isn't;  this  is  forcing  themselves  to  act  because  no  one  else  can.

"  No,  it  can't,  "  she  finally  replies,  voice  strained  and  hoarse;  proof  of  how  much  she's  been  calling  her  friends'  names  in  hopes  that  maybe  the  lost  ones  will  shout  back.  "  That  implies  we  can  keep  this  up  for  longer  than  we’re  able.  A  more  fitting  term  is  perseverance.  You  and  I  both  know  we  can't  go  on  forever,  but  we  can  try  anyway.  Courage  is  what  the  others  need  to  see  from  us,  isn't  it...?  "

[parakosms-a]

❝ i’ve just gotten word that i don’t know anything. ❞ for suzuki during the tragedy maybe 👀

Having  just  caught  the  sight  of  Kyosuke's  white  jacket  rounding  a  corner  and  spotting  Makoto  left  in  his  wake,  it  wasn't  difficult  to  piece  together  that  there  was  a  disagreement  of  sorts.  By  what  she's  just  been  told,  said  disagreement  concluded  with  a  remark  about  ignorance  regarding  some  topic  Suzuki  also  knows  nothing  about.  Part  of  her  wants  to  pry,  but  a  bigger  piece  says  she  can  find  out  later,  whether  that  be  from  him  or  another  source  entirely.

"  Don't  we  all  know  nothing  in  some  way?  I  doubt  he  is  any  less  ignorant!  "  That  probably  isn't  helping.  "  Apologies,  that  was  not  how  I  wanted  to  say  that,  uh...  What  I  meant  was,  if  you  are  uninformed,  then  it  is  kind  of  his  job  to  tell  you  about  necessary  information,  right?  Withholding  an  answer  he  could  easily  give  you...  Does  he  want  to  make  more  problems  than  solutions...?  "  Though  she  may  be  right  about  Kyosuke’s  unnecessary  dramatics,  now  isn't  the  time  to  fret  over  it.  If  there  is  something  Makoto  is  missing,  then  surely  someone  else  will  be  able  to  fill  him  in  with  the  necessary  information  (  and  hopefully  her,  too,  because  the  curiosity  is  killing  her  ).

"  Anyhow,  perhaps  someone  else  would  be  kind  enough  to  help  you  out?  I  am  not  busy  right  now,  I  could  accompany  you  until  you  know  what  you  need!  "
