Been Thinking About An Elaborate Au-kinda-but-mostly-canon-retelling Thing. One Of The Things I Was Thinking

i forgot tumblr existed

my friend is a huge fan of Homestuck and got into Danganronpa recently, so I drew this to please her~

the one on the left is her design! Isn't it great?

on the right side, I experimented a little bit, but I'm not sure. It's like there's something missing, but I had fun drawing this, so I could do it again? I guess

Meet Cute (1/?)

————

My take on pregame saiou is that they were wholesome BFFs with secret crushes on each other that just didn't know how to communicate.

More thoughts under the cut:

Kokichi's motivations for sticking around Shuichi's dorky ass might've been mercenary at first but, over time, he'd learn that Shuichi is just a genuine nerd who is incredibly smart, extremely dense, and flusters easy (basically in-game Shuichi who distracts easy and cannot read a room).

My guy just had a thing for mysteries and puzzles and DR is just like a really entertaining B-film horror show of puzzles and fake deaths (kinda how we, the fandom treat it), so it makes sense he's obsessed. He's no crazier than the average Marvel fan/Disney diehard and he's not really a stalker, just a nervous teenager who sometimes loses his nerve when trying to approach someone he wants to be friends with.

Shuichi will start to run his mouth off about DR if you get him talking about it, but I think he'd be interested in other stuff too.

Kokichi is as fake as they come, so he pretends to like DR to get close to Shuichi until they eventually bond over other mutual interest. Kokichi lies in order to keep the peace, despite his annoyance/jealousy that Shuichi's attention usually drifts to other things (mainly things that AREN'T Kokichi. Tch, the audacity am I right?) He does really care for Shuichi and Shuichi cares for him, but it's clear they don't communicate well at all.

Kokichi lies and Shuichi often gets distracted/stays passive when conflicts threaten to arise. I'm sure they both wish the other would just voice their feelings, but neither is willing to make the first move (in regards to their massive crushes, or the issues they have with their relationship). As a result, things get bottled up and it's only a matter of time before someone breaks....

Congrats on getting this far! :D Anyways, read [and the credits roll,] for post-game angst/pre-game fluff.

if homestuck was trolls.....

saiouma made me homophobic (.j .lh)

hi everyone i wanna talk about how gross they are

since im an artist who LOVEs saiouma i made sure to measure how tall they where and the top of oumas head reaches the bottom of shus nose. BUT IV NEVER ACTUALLY SEEN IT ???

kokichi would have to step on his tipy toes and shuichi would still have to lean down a bit to kiss him properly.

if i saw kokichi get on his tipy toes, wrap his arms around shuichis neck and pull him down to kiss him i’d run away gaging, then most likely become homophobic and put a ‘no gays allowed’ sign in my doorway.

they’re so fucking cute

Been working on this between assignments and it's finally done! Adjusted the og sketch quite a bit but I'm happy with how it turned out!

+ a bonus flat bg cause I'm insecure about my bg skills
