OWLIE OWLIE i finished dangan ronpa recently as indicated by my recent flurry of reblogging things and hELP????? FEELINGS????????? and ofc you have no obligation to answer this but i have gathered that you are a person with junko + mukuro emotions and i think it would be cool if idk you shared your feelings on either/both of them if you have the time/inclination? THIS IS A HILARIOUSLY VAGUE QUESTION, I AM SORRY i'm just in a srs despair twins place rn augh augh augh GIRLS
like and i'm Sorry but muKURO IKUSABA FAKENAME MCFORESHADOWING UR CANON DEATH RUNNING AWAY AS A MIDDLE SCHOOLER TO BECOME THE MOST BADASS SOLDIER EVER AND COMING HOME TO YOUR SIS TER AND STILL
NOT BEING THE BEST like ugh i have a lot of feelings about junko that come with spoilers for dr:0 and sdr2 and dr:IF but just she's a genius okay and she's a mess and she can solve everyone and nothing matters to her she has seen the joke and she is laughing along and i just
god covers my face talk about fave bad guy trope? talk about how mukuro exists in this nebulous grey zone where she's not hopeful but she doesn't despair and she just follows people with bigger gravitational pulls than her cut to junko enoshima who liTERALLY MADE THE WORLD SPIN AROUND HER? ?? "i understand why riots start, i just don't understand why they ever stop" a world full of talented gifted kids with crippling talents and doubts and she plays them all perfectly to get to a final showdown where she wins either way like jesus girl
you show me another bad guy who has the world kneeling at their feet like that because they want to be there and ha ha ha ha ahahaha you cAN'T THAT'S THE POINT OF HER. an army of soldiers and lackeys and groupies and vicious bastards and coldhearted creatures, a constant backing of kids who looked at the crapsack world they were being handed and all the pressure weighing down on them a literally thought army of people who she never had to threaten or blackmail or bribe
who she only ever had to talk to
and i just love that balance that piercing genius brain that conviction and then mukuro who literally canoncially prides herself on seeing the world as a battlefield and SHUTTING DOWN ALL EMOTIONS to function better what a fucking terrifying team what a horrible pair of kids
i'm sorry i just get really emotional about the fact that all junko ever had to do to tip the world over and over again was stand up tall in her knee-high boots and her red nails and her messy pigtails and tell everyone that they didn't have to save themselves
literal fucking personification of glorifying dangerous behavior literal existence of that urge when you've hit rock bottom to stop climbing up and play house in hell
lays down and the worst bit is when you think about it, really think about it, suddenly watching the kids consider giving up isn't just an annoying dramatic movement because well what would you do if a beautiful girl showed up at your door and told you that your pain and your doubt and your pent-up rage were the best and most shining parts of you? what would you do if someone who literally changes the people around her just by being near them told you that you didn't have to hold up everyone's petty jabs and expectations and disappointments, here's a membership to the club and a bat and i'll hold your hand the whole way
what would you do if a new world order stepped up that told you it was okay to stop fighting to be a better person and just crumble from the inside out into all the snaking nasty things you knew you were
