Humanity From The Point Of View Of 2,383 Lines Of Code

So I've been lurking in the Danganronpa fandom long enough now to start feeling insane, because it felt really obvious to me that Nagito genuinely suspected/hoped Hajime was the traitor, but I have seen no fic, no art, no posts or essays addressing this at all?? Not even one??

First of all, he accused him outright. Then he found out Hajime was even more of an outlier than he thought he was in the Final Dead Room. At no point was it confirmed or revealed that Nagito found out Hajime was Kamakura, so probably he thought Hajime was just some random mystery Reserve among his Ultimate classmates. He may have even found out about the Reserve course mass-suicide in there, which gives Hajime a motive to be fucking around with them in secret. He tried to sneakily ask Hajime what his deal was right before the trial, all "What do you think of books like that?" and was really disappointed when Hajime played dumb. He made a point to state in his final video that he was too hard on Hajime, as if he expected him to be around to hear him say that.

And despite his luck, his plan failed. Which is a little weird, because it succeeded in every other respect -- identifying the traitor, making it nearly impossible to determine the killer, setting up the Remnants for execution -- but not in actually executing them, his true end goal, which implies, I think, that his goal was a little more complicated than just killing them all? He didn't just want them to die, he wanted the traitor to live, but if he thought Hajime was the traitor...

Then his luck did work. Because Hajime understood Nagito just enough to figure out what he was trying to do, but also, I think, because that was really what Nagito wanted all along. Above everything else. More than dying, more than killing. He just wanted Hajime alive.

Am I insane for thinking this?? Or are all the fics/art/essays just hiding from me???

thinking about creatures.

I Am Dazai Ch 6

I'm running out of things to say...

hi

Oh fuck. I forgot to credit the person that did the english translation of Fifteen! Credits to DarkestJay868!

I Am Dazai Ch 3

I finished Ch 3. I haven't done a good job of updating anyone here that I updated my fanfiction so I'm doing all of the updates I forgot to do at once

I think one of the funniest parallels in Stormbringer has to be the way Dazai and Chuuya... used one another as an excuse to cling onto life/humanity. It happens in similar settings too!

We have Dazai, who's presented with the most perfect death imaginable: a way to die quickly and painlessly. But then Mori, the mentor figure who forced himself into that role in Dazai's life, says:

"Your perfect death will end up as double suicide with you and Chuuya." And that's enough to make him turn around and act serious LMAO by the mention of death with Chuuya, or maybe even just Chuuya dying, this boy suddenly wanted to live (as if Chuuya wasn't the reason he found interest in life at Fifteen... I see what you're doing, Asagiri)

Then we have Chuuya, who's been backed into a corner. He could easily snap Professor N's neck to get back at him for... everything. And we have Verlaine, the mentor figure currently forcing himself into that narrative, pushing Chuuya to descend to that same hatred. But then Chuuya says:

"I'd never think the same way Dazai does."

Bro no one's mentioned Dazai in this context, why is he in your head, why's he in your little speech about holding on to your humanity?

Stupid.

Does tumblr know about the animation union yaoi yet

uhh, dazai loses his ability for a day so he can pet the big cat <3

:p
