Allow people to like you, to enjoy your company, to want to be your friend. Allow them to compliment you, allow others to think you're cool and funny even if you think you're not. It is not up to you to tell others how to feel, and remember that people might see the positive things in you and qualities that you have been failing to see while being too self-critical. Allow yourself to be liked by other people, even when you don't see why they should. Don't self-isolate because you think you are not good enough for other people.

i made ryoko sprites!
i was thinking about how i wish we could see ryoko, so i decided to try making her myself. i was going to just post the sprites alone, but… imagine getting to interact with ryoko before the death game
I’ve had this concept for awhile where Hana, Ryoko, Stronghold and Ursheen all try and figure out asunaro.
Uh. Here,
Not to fandom on main but the major Your Turn To Die dichotomy isn’t actually between emotion and logic. It’s between social logic and pure, heartless calculation … and social logic wins every damn time.
A potent example is the second trial. It’s presented to you that the “logical” choice would be to vote for Kanna (saving Sou), and the “emotional” choice would be to vote for Sou (saving Kanna). But if you actually look at the situation, voting for Sou is the most dense thing Sarah can do in that moment, for a couple of reasons.
Firstly, Sou will very clearly not co-operate with you after killing Kanna no matter how theoretically resourceful and smart he may be. Sparing him does not actually benefit the group in an obvious way.
Secondly, the one thing Sarah has on her side is that people trust her to be a strong, fair leader. But Sarah no longer looks like a good leader after sentencing a small child to death. Now, she just looks like a calculated bitch, which she sorta is in that version of events. After all, everyone was laying into Q-taro when he looks like he’s putting his own life above Gin’s. They’re not going to be feeling good about Sarah sentencing Kanna to execution, whether they vocalize that or not.
In short, social capital is necessary to survive the Death Game (a concept made explicit through mechanics like the token trades, clout, and of course, the majority vote), and killing a child in order to spare an unhelpful harbinger of discord is obvious social suicide.
And this is why Sou could never win the Death Game in any of the AI trial runs; tech-smart he is, and calculated he may be, but he explicitly admits that he has no idea how to gain trust from other people. He lacks social logic! His tendency to wildcard his way through social situations (such as the First Trial) with alternating lies, threats, and niceties paints him as an unstable individual whom few will be inclined to trust with their life.
Well, minus Kanna, who is (again) a literal child in living a state of immense trauma.
Relatedly, this is also the reason why Mishima was the first to die! Mishima actually has good interpersonal skills, but his offputting demeanor instantly pings multiple people’s internal sense of social logic as “potential creep, do not engage” even though he’s actually a pretty decent man who just has something very wrong with his posture and hair. So alongside that stunt he pulled where he had Nao vote for him in the test vote, it was inevitable that someone was going to be giving him a hard enough side-eye to sling a vote his way.
This is also why Sarah repeatedly wins trial after trial in the AI tests. Sarah has a strong sense of social logic, and easily wins trust thanks to her general confidence and empathy.
In any case, I theorize that the game is essentially set up to find the most charismatic damn liar/leader out of the bunch to run the criminal underground shit; failing that, the game’s general set-up would otherwise at least ensure that the winner is the most ruthless motherfucker in the room.
So either way, you’re cultivating a born leader, or someone scary af.
math fans be like : "you'll use this information in rest of your life"
like ok addict 🙄
you can like Doki Doki Literature Club and also admit that people used the game's story and plotlines as an excuse to make incredibly insensitive jokes about suicide, self harm, and abuse.
