art of my mcsm oc Tallie :)

he is so silly

I have made a handful of these.

oh and also the ronpa is a thing now. on Instagram. I could post it here but I dunno, tumblr ronpa sounds strange in my mind.

lmao just going through a list of attention grabbing titles and "Tom Cruise" made me giggle

So I had a question about writing. How do you usually create characters and give them their personalities? Since whenever a good scenario comes to my mind and I sit down to write, I almost immediately give up because I either create boring characters, or I just can't create any. So do you have any advice you want to give on this?

So it sounds to me like the problem might be the way you’re approaching storytelling - If you’re thinking of scenarios and then trying to come up with characters to plug into them, that implies to me that your scenarios are likely things that are *happening to* those characters instead of things that the characters are *trying to do*.

Characters who are “interesting” usually have some amount of agency in their lives - something they’re pursuing as compelling obstacles block the way. So if a story is just things happening to a character and them reacting… it makes them feel passive, and not super “interesting.”

So what I would do, is instead of thinking of scenarios first, think of the *characters* first and if they’re interesting the stories will come naturally. One of my favorites is Indiana Jones: Stuffy archeology professor with a secret double life as a globe-trotting treasure hunter. That’s a one sentence description that immediately conjures all sorts of exciting ideas.

If you want to break down why that one works so well, it’s because he’s relatable (stuffy professor; everyone’s had one of those) with an interesting twist (secret double life; always cool) and built-in story generator (globe-trotting treasure hunter; traveling the world! Finding treasure!)

I don’t know if anyone else uses that term “story generator” or if that’s a dumb one I made up - I use it to describe the quality of a character or world that, with only a few words, is SO compelling literally anyone could start to imagine stories with it. “Boarding school for wizards”, “amnesiac war robot from Mars”, “Tom Cruise”, “secret hotel for assassins”, “summer camp for psychic secret agents”, “demon who rebels against his destiny to save the world”… these are all great examples of story generators.

Hope something in there was useful!

hey now that I've already made a text post talking about Mr. panta I can go on this mid length rant about how kokichi could have absolutely ended the game without killing himself in the process

so like let's all think back to the first tiral okay. Rantaro is dead and "Kaede" killed him right.

in the final trial it's revealed that ahhh kaede didn't kill rantaro because.... tsumugi killed rantaro! oh my god she's right! what !?

and the only reason tsumugi HAD to kill rantaro and frame kaede, was because the show had to go on.

they only get one take for each season.

so. let's think about this.

Tsumugi made sure that not everyone could die at any given moment. If she didn't, the show would be in some trouble etc etc (you can actually see this happening in the final trial where the audience starts to get angry at shuichi and the others for not participating).

so how could you end the game with this knowledge?

well, you see in the first trial that pretty much no matter if you're really the blackened or not, you get executed as long as you have the most votes.

with this knowledge, all you would have to do is manage to have everyone vote tsumugi in a trial. that's it. the game would have no choice but to stop-

Tsumugi can't let herself be killed because she's the only one who can run the game. The blackened can't be executed instead because that would reveal everything. The group punishment can't happen because the season would end just like that.

unless, of course, you consider that the blackened would just be sent to the next danganronpa season like rantaro was, but I'm not sure what would happen to tsumugi than. I guess she'd go, too? i dunno, just some brainstorming.

who knows, though. maybe rantaro was a previous blackened and escaped that way.

I started scrolling pinterest and woke up 6 hours later to this
