Your personal Tumblr journey starts here
AAAAHHHH!!! Ok. I saw some TikTok videos saying “combine the last video game you played and last tv show you watched” and I was like “oh, that would be danganronpa v3 and dungeon meshi”. Now I’m going fucking insane over it.
Anyway, here’s what I think all the v3 characters, races would be in the dungeon meshi universe.
Angie-Gnome. This one is kinda weird to start with BUT, gnomes live side by side with nature spirits and ask them for help with magic and stuff. I think Angie suits being a long life race, idk why. Also she’s would looks so cute with the ears.
Gonta-Oger. Big. Need I explain more? He’s just a gentle giant, and I think the big horns and teeth would also add to his “people get scared when they see me” story.
Himiko-Gnome. It’s literally perfect, shut up. Magic being culturally significant, generally a pretty short race, even for a character design point! The sleepy droopy eyes!!!! AHHHH! Love her.
Kaede-Tall man. She’s just so!!!! That’s all I can say. I just think if she was made another race it would take away from her everything. Like I debated an elf but, it just didn’t feel right.
Kaito-Tall man. Are you going to sit here and tell me that kaito isn’t the most guy of men. He would 100% say shit like “I only have a short life, so I need to make the most of it!” Then run head first into a dragon fight without any plans.
Kiibo-Beast man. Specifically a werewolf, like just. “I know I’m a beast man, but I’m still just as human as anyone else!” And he would still get to contemplate his humanity:DDD. I can just picture kokichi being a massive bitch about it too.
Kirumi-Elf. She’s just hot like that. Also you know, the expectation of her being perfect and talented. I feel like at first she would pity short life races and fall into the “they are like children” mindset (obviously still doing anything they asked of her, she’s still herself) then after meeting the cast, would go “oh, wait. These are just people. They don’t need pity for just existing”.
Kokichi-Half foot. Ok this is another one that’s absolutely perfect. Like the lock-picking, them commonly being known for thievery, and he would absolutely use those big old ears for no good!!!! Literally just a perfect match.
Korekiyo-Kobold. Ok. This is going to be the first of a few “because I said so” he would just look so god dam good like that. It would just add to his “I’m mysterious and not much is known about me” vibe. Yes. I know kobolds tend to stay in there community’s, and can’t speak in the common tongue that well. Fuck you!!!
Maki-Half foot. I know some might question this, but hear me out! It would be so handy for her assassin thing! Like the hearing would be a massive help, her size would make it easier to go unnoticed, also she would be incredibly light footed.
Miu-Dwarf. They’re like the technology race! They invent shit! Also her brash attitude would just fit in most with dwarves, she’s probably a bit confused why everyone’s getting mad at her for being, well, her.
Rantaro-Elf. Because I said so #2. He’s just hot, I don’t think he would pity short life races tho. My mans is too well traveled for that shit to slide.
Ryoma-Dwarf. Ok yes. It is because he’s short. But also because of his demeanour, like he’s really gruff and stoic, I imagine his backstory would be much of the same, but with the added benefit of “I will outlive most of the friends I make, so why make friends in the first place”.
Shuichi-Elf. Pure fucking vibes. Just look at him. Also something something, his parents are probably these great Influential people or whatever, and he feels like all he’s achievement’s mean nothing….. something something.
Tenko-Kobold. Another absolutely perfect one! Like, just! AG! Look at everything we know about kobolds! It can be applied to Tenko!! Also she’s not immune to the “because I said so” argument. She’s my favourite. Kobolds are my favourite. Boom. Done.
Tsumugi-Tall man. Don’t even try to argue this one. Tall men are the “nothing too special about them” race. The plain race. Like I don’t know what you want from me.
Anyway that’s all. Maybe keep an eye out for some art of this crossover. Idk. Had lots of fun tho. Obviously if anyone wants to use this idea as a springboard you absolutely can, but please let me see!!! I wanna see someone going as insane as I am about my favourite game being crossed over with such a cool manga/anime
Since I feel bad about the Nagito and Kokichi frenimies fic being so short, I’ll post a piece that I wrote from an old rp with a friend.
Basically it is a lot of the characters from all games (including Ultra Despair Girls) and in this piece they are being transported from one school to somewhere else. Coincidentally, Nagito and Kokichi did NOT get along at all in the RP but they both helped the MC/Reader figure things out for the trials.
Please beware that this fic mentions Blood, Scars and Kidnapping, along with the other possibly triggering topics from Danganronpa.
I hope you enjoy :)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
You woke up to see the inside of a small bus. Nagito was leaning against the window in the seat to the right of you, across the aisle, watching the surroundings. An unconscious Kokichi was in the seat right next to you on the left. There were bars separating the Monokuma driver and you three; the type you'd see in a cop car. Nagito wasn't wearing his jacket as usual, and you quickly noticed it was placed over your shoulders with your arms out of the sleeves. He didn't seem to be cold, but it was pretty chilly so you felt bad that he let you wear it instead of him. It was dark and rainy outside; definitely not the weather to go without a coat.
You figured that Nagito had probably been awake for a while, seeing as he was calm about the situation; acting as if this was just a normal drive somewhere. He almost looked like he was bored. He had his arm on the bottom of the window and was leaning his head against it. You don’t remember getting onto a bus. The last thing you remember was standing in the hallway of the 5th floor of Hope's Peak Academy. ‘They must have knocked us out’, you figured.
You looked up through the front window to see another bus in front, similar to the one you were in right now. Looking behind you through the back window, you saw a few more buses trailing behind. ‘Maybe they’re be relocating us for some reason, though why they decided to split us up, I'm not sure.’
When you turned to look through the back window, you felt a sharp pain in your stomach. You dismissed it as hunger pangs, as you knew you hadn't eaten much today.
You placed your arms over your stomach and it seemed to help it feel a little better. At that point, Nagito noticed you were awake, but didn't say anything. You decided to break the monotonous silence, aside from the rain pattering and the engine rumbling through the bus.
"Thanks.. For the jacket, I mean." You said.
He picked his head up and turned to you.
"Of course. I assumed you would be cold, and someone like you should be warmer than someone filthy like me." He smiled a little, as if he hadn't just insulted himself. It's almost as if he didn't realize he was being self-deprecating.
Deciding to ignore the last remark, you just shook your head and continued.
"If you get cold let me know, though, so I can return it to you, okay?"
"...Alright." It seemed like he wanted to decline, but decided against it. He just put his arm back on the side and leaned against it again.
You looked out the window and watched the road stretch on. Aside from the other buses, there were no cars on the road. You wondered why they left the windows uncovered. ‘You'd think they would cover them or even keep us knocked out long enough to get to wherever we were going.’
After who-knows-how-long, Kokichi started rustling. He sat up groggily and looked around confused, as you had done not long ago. After waking up more and taking in his surroundings he turned to look at the two of you.
"Why are you wearing his jacket? Are you two dating now or something?" He said, looking disgusted; however he was obviously joking.
"Well good morning, sunshine. Why were your legs on my shins? Does that make us a couple?" You shot back, also joking.
He looked a little shocked, but still chuckled and quickly moved his legs.
"Soo... Where are we?" He said, looking out the window, though there was nothing that could be used to your advantage to figure out where you were.
"Your guess is as good as mine. Nagito's been awake the longest, since I woke up not long before you did." You shrugged and turned to Nagito.
After hearing his name, Nagito turned to face you and nodded,
"That's true, but I haven't seen a single sign or building since waking up. So we still have nothing." He sighed and slouched.
You could tell he didn't want to say anything if he didn't need to. Seeing as they both disliked each other, he probably didn't want to aggravate Kokichi or end up upsetting himself.
Kokichi huffed and went to cross his arms but winced and put his left arm back down. "Ow.." He muttered
"What’s the matter?" You asked.
Even Nagito was focused on the situation. You both waited as you watched Kokichi try to shake off the pain.
"That really hurt. It felt like I've been stabbed in my arm." He was looking at his arm in the sleeve as much as he could without moving it around.
"You might need to pull up your sleeve. There might be something underneath." You said sitting forward a little.
"Yeah but.. It's near my shoulder at the back, so even if I could pull up my sleeve that high- which I don't think I can- I won't be able to check it." Kokichi said, slouching a little at the realization that he'd need one of you to check it for him. "I'm sure I'm fine though." He said, but that was clearly a lie.
"That obviously hurt. I can check it for you." You sat up further and started leaning towards him, putting your hand closer to his arm to take a look.
He slapped your hand away with his uninjured hand.
"No. You don't need to take my shirt off for me. I’m fine." He said, turning away from you, and he seemed to be in a sour mood. He leaned up against the window, probably to use the cold window like an ice-pack, though he looked pained when his arm came in contact with the glass.
"Well I'll gladly switch places with Nagito so he can check for you, if you’d prefer that." You sat back the way you were a minute ago.
Your stomach stung from moving, but you didn't want to worry them with that fact, and you hadn't noticed it as much because were worried about Kokichi's arm.
Nagito sighed.
"Sorry, but I don't think I'll be able to swap places with you." He gestured to his legs, "It seems like they’ve sliced my legs. Right above the knee. I hadn't noticed any blood- if there was any- because of how dark my pants are but when I went to put my jacket on you, I couldn't properly stand to do so. I didn't mention it because I assumed my luck made me get hurt while we were unconscious. That doesn't seem to be the case, however..." He continued.
"So, do you think they harmed us all so we wouldn't, or rather, couldn't fight back?" You said. No wonder your stomach hurt, it was probably caused by whoever's working with Monokuma.
"Well, that makes sense. But you don't seem to be in pain. So you could still do something, right?" Kokichi said to you, now holding his, assumed, injury with his right hand.
"..." You paused before answering. You weren’t totally sure if your stomach was damaged in some way, or if it was just hurting, but you didn’t feel comfortable pulling up your shirt to check right now.
"From what I saw when you first woke up, when you went to turn around to look out the window, you winced in pain as well. And since you had your arms over your stomach for a while, I'm assuming that's where they hurt you too? If that is the case, anyway." Nagito piped in. You didn't realize he saw that, but it seems he's a lot more observant than you’d thought.
"Yeah, that sounds about right. But I don't know if that's from hunger or if that's from the Monokumas." You said.
"So why don't you check? It's somewhere that you could check easily, so you won't need help." Kokichi said, clearly getting annoyed.
"Yeah, but I can't just go pulling my shirt up to check. It’s just uncomfortable to do that right now.." You said, slouching a little.
Kokichi sighed, shook his head slightly, turned more towards the window, and kept his gaze outside. You could tell he was irritated, not because he had to look away, but probably because of the situation you were in.
Nagito also turned his body towards the window, leaned his arm against it and rested his head in his hand. He even went the extra mile to close his eyes, though you weren't sure if that’s out of respect for the situation, or if he was just tired.
You took your left hand and held both sides of Nagito’s jacket closed in front of you as extra covering, and lifted your shirt underneath. As you’d expected, you had a clean slice on your stomach. Though for some reason it wasn’t bleeding, nor did it look all that fresh. It looked more like you’d been cut a few days prior and it was just starting to heal. You were upset about the fact that they went out of their way to hurt the three of you, but at the same time, it intrigued you as to how it could look so healed when you couldn’t have been asleep for more than a few hours.
You lowered your shirt and let go of Nagito’s jacket.
Kokichi hadn’t, and couldn’t, check his wound and Nagito probably couldn’t check his either, which was why you’d assumed the reason you hadn’t seen blood was because Nagito and you both wore dark clothes near the wounds and from the angle of Kokichi’s wound, you figured you wouldn’t have been able to see blood even if there was any.
Even though you had finished checking, the boys stayed looking out the window in silence. You were sure that you reaction, or lack thereof, proved the theory true, giving them no reason to ask whether or not you were right.
You thought about also sitting in silence, but the fact that there was no blood on your stomach at all was something that should probably be mentioned, especially since you needed to work together. You leaned forward.
“Hey! How long were we asleep for?” You yelled to the Monokuma driver, though there was no response. You hadn’t really expected for there to be one.
The boys both turned and looked at you; Kokichi, again, looked confused and irritated. Nagito just looked tired.
“There, uh.. Wasn’t any blood. I just thought it was odd, if we were only asleep for a few hours, there’d be blood, right? At least dried blood, right? It was completely clean, and didn’t look that fresh..” You said, sitting back again.
Kokichi just looked more stunned but Nagito seemed to be thinking about the implications of what you’d just said.
“Are you saying that we’ve been asleep for longer than a day, at least..?”
“Seems like it..” You said, sighing.
Nagito just shook his head at the thought. He wasn’t disagreeing with you; it was more of a disappointment in the thought of the Monokumas and their actions.
Author’s Notes: I’m so sorry this request took so long, @manacat
I wasn’t sure where to go with this because I’ve had a few ideas for it but they all were very unrelated to one another. I might make another part to this in the future :)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
You sat at your desk, writing a few final touches to your poster. A playlist- made up of many different genres of music by both of your guests- was playing through the speakers on your computer. Bickering behind you were your best friends who, at the moment, felt more like children you were babysitting.
"You know, you'd think that with the type of money you have, you'd buy a hairbrush," Kokichi said, tugging his fingers through Nagito's hair.
"Oh? I guess I hadn't thought about it." Nagito said, smiling, though wincing at every tug.
You turned to the two, who decided that your room would be the best place to have a sleepover. Though you originally invited them over to help work on the project.
You can't blame Nagito all that much, he really did help with a lot of the information for the presentation. As for Kokichi...
"Hey! HEY! What if we used a razor and I could shave it all? I wonder what you would look like with a shiny bald head?" Kokichi shouted, excitedly.
"Wouldn't that be a GREAT idea Y/N??" Kokichi shouted to you.
"I actually prefer the fluffy cloud hair... But you really should brush it, Nagito." You said, putting the eraser of your pencil against your lip.
"My head is actually quite sensitive, but I guess I could brush it."
“It’s only sensitive because you have so much hair. I can help fix that for you!” Kokichi said, twirling a strand of hair in his fingers.
“No thanks. I think I’ll stick with the sensitive head.” Nagito said, defensively.
With nothing else to add, the boys fell relatively silent.
"All done." You said, leaning back in your chair and stretching.
"Nice work. I can proofread it and make any edits tomorrow." Nagito said, applauding your efforts.
"Sweet! Now we can play games riiiight?" Kokichi said, bouncing to his feet.
"I could go for a game or two." You said, looking to Nagito for his answer.
"It couldn't hurt. Of course, I happen to be very unlucky so I shouldn't be much of a concern in terms of winning."
"Blah blah blah, unlucky this, lucky that. We get it, you're bad at games," Kokichi said, lightheartedly mocking Nagito, using his hand as a fake mouth, "You don't gotta make things up just to feel better about it!"
Kokichi smiled a big toothy grin, to show he meant no harm.
"Well, don't cry if I happen to win then." Nagito said, mimicking Kokichi's smile.
"Yeah, yeah, less smack talk and more playing, yeah?" You said, setting up the game.
Within 5 minutes, Nagito had won easily. Within ten, Kokichi took the lead and smack-talked his way through every round. Within twenty minutes, you had racked up ten times the amount of wins as theirs combined.
And for once in your life, you actually saw them working together, even if to try to beat you.
"So? should we take a little break before another round?" You asked, placing the controller down.
"Sure, but only so Nagito and I can come up with a strategy to beat you. You must be cheating so we gotta think up a cheat we can use," Kokichi crossed his arms.
"We won't really cheat," Nagito piped in, defensively. "You're just very lucky in this game!"
"I don't think luck has anything to do with this game.." You said, shaking your head.
---------------
After your snack break, you started getting tired, and you could tell the others were too. You started getting blankets and pillows for the three of you and placed them on the floor.
After everyone was settled into their makeshift beds, and the lights were out, you started dozing off.
"Hey. Psst." You heard Kokichi whisper.
"What is it?" Nagito whispered back.
There was no response from Kokichi, other than a giggle.
"Hey. Pssssssstt." You heard again, a few minutes later.
This time Nagito didn't respond.
Kokichi sat up, and looked at Nagito. He was asleep already.
"Well, Y/N, you know what this means. The first to fall asleep at a sleepover gets vandalized!" He whisper-shouted.
"No, go to sleep. We have school tomorrow and I don't want to be late washing the marker off his face."
"No fun... Better hope you don't fall asleep before me." He jokingly threatened.
