One of the things that drives me crazy is how the DR fandom at large thinks that Yasuhiro Hagakure is a waste.
While it is true that Hiro's roll isn't highly plot-relevant aside from being a patsy in Chapter Three of the first game, I think people underestimate just how well he balances the cast.
In a game where people like Byakuya and Celeste have less than honest motives for doing what they do and everyone else is panicked to try and survive, Hiro provides an almost normal input to the craziness around him.
His reactions to things (aside from believing the killing game was... well, a school joke) are very normal. While others have sinister motives or hope to survive, he's chilled out unless he's threatened or confused. The humor he provides offsets and balances the series darkness, giving the player a collective breath with him. While he's quick to cower and panic, he's also normally the person who delivers the most emotionally claritive observation on other people's actions and doesn't typically fuss.
Of course, this is due to the fact that Hiro just isn't very bright. He's more concerned with trying to figure out a way to offset his debt to the mafia and to scam potential targets like Makoto when he befriends him in free times. Hiro becomes more unlikeable the more you get to know him. But at the same time, he's not evil. Just a selfish, normal, dumb ass. He doesn't have the brain to look at the bigger picture like everyone else and will usually be the first to say something honest that the entire cast was thinking but not willing to say.
Hiro's strength lies in the fact that his perspective isn't like everyone else's. He wants to survive but he isn't frantic. He's a coward but he's emotionally perceptive and can see through people's cutting insults towards him like Byakuya. Even if people don't like him, he can get along with them and be there for them too. He can hear Makoto's rallying cry in the final trial of the first game because Makoto does seem him as a friend and a full part of the world out there beyond the school.
Tl;dr: I love Hiro for the stupid, selfish comedy relief he is and how he balances the dark narrative of Danganronpa. I don't know if I could ever enjoy this game without him, so I think people calling his character or survival a waste is really... well, missing the point of a lot of the series.
muh luh muh so strong they died together (stage play)
i just think andrew rannells should sing every song ever
You know how Yasuhiro Hagakure refers to Sakura Ogami as "Ogre"? Well in Danganronpa S, Yasuhiro has nicknames for some of the other characters. After rewatching all of his event scenes, I decided to share some of those nicknames, because why not, I like this character and I don't care what anyone else thinks.
These are just for Yasuhiro's events, so I'm not sure if he has nicknames for the other characters in their events, and thankfully, I have enough images to share before I hit the 30 images limit on Tumblr. Some of these images are also character reactions.
He even at one point called her Saionjeans.
In this event, he mentions Angie but refers to her as Angus, and starts talking about her deity Atua.
This was all I can find. I hope you liked them.
Alright so this kinda blew my mind when I realized this so listen up.
During Somewhere That’s Green, Audrey sings “between our frozen dinner and our bedtime 9:15” right? Well there are several photo shoots done of Audrey and Audrey 2 interacting with one another, usually with Audrey standing near Audrey 2’s mouth like he’s about to chomp down on her. It’s a pretty popular type of photo done in Little Shop’s production history as they did it with both Ellen Greene and Faith Prince in the 80’s.
In the background of those pictures, (no matter the actor or year it was taken), on set there is a clock that ranges from saying 9:05 to 9:10 (depending on the photo). Based on the context of those pictures, it has to be taken in universe of the show mere minutes before Audrey dies as it is the only time she is seen interacting with Audrey 2 when it is that size. Meaning, she would have had to of died right around when the clock struck 9:15. The same time she said her bedtime was going to be in Somewhere That’s Green.
Pure. Genius.
blair pfaff fanart !! + time-lapse :)
Y'all I love Falsettos at Hartford Stage, and not just because of the ending or the amazing talent that is the singing (though, those things do contribute)
I love Falsettos at Hartford Stage for its *importance* in the Falsettos Productions Timeline.
Hartford Stage was the first production to combine both March of the Falsettos and Falsettoland (infact, it was called "March of the Falsettos & Falsettoland". Falsettos wasn't even a name yet)
Hartford Stage used an abstract stage, like in the revival. Instead of blocks, Hartford Stage used boxes and one bed.
Hartford Stage's Trina went on to be the obc for Trina in Falsettos (Barbara Walsh ily)
There are other things, I'm sure, but Hartford Stage needs more love y'all it's genuinely amazing
