What's your Thoughts on Gonta x Tsumugi?
REALLY UNDERRATED!!!! not even as a ship but as a friendship too!! Like- at the very least they are like,, super besties
just think about it- they would so infodump on each other about shit and they'd both get inspired by the things they say to each other [Tsumugi gets cool cosplay ideas from Gonta (mostly bug-related stuff), and Gonta maybe takes inspiration from some of the characters Tsumugi talks about so he can be more gentlemanly!!!] Maybe they can watch some anime together as a treat... and Tsumugi can explain stuff that Gonta doesn't understand as they watch...
Tsumugi was always a character that I looked over a lot but almost every time she got my attention it was when she was talking about Gonta, like!! She has a huge soft spot for him!! She always tends to defend him in trials and AUGGH!!! -And of course, Gonta wants to be a good gentleman for a lady,, he probably appreciates how much Tsumugi cares about him... They are besties in my mind...
Though, the fact that she's the mastermind probably tanks the ship though.... Grr!! Smoogy stop being so fucked up and evil!!
But for real,, getting into speculation territory,, it's kinda hard to tell if V3 was 'scripted' or not and if anyone's relationships with anyone were genuine or not [I remember Tsumugi saying something about Maki and Kaito falling in love being scripted] but to be fair why should we believe her when she's y'know... the mastermind? Plus, those feelings still feel real to the characters... I at least believe anything Kokichi planned out [which includes Gonta's death] wasn't planned by Tsumugi, and that she was genuinely sad when Gonta was executed... I like to think that Gonta was one of her favourite characters she wrote [thus making him more important to the plot than he seems] and maybe she even planned him to survive...
but that's just me, this post is getting too long
in short: I love them together actually, they will be huge nerds together... <333 I see them in a more platonic light but I don't mind romantic interpretations...
