New AU Idea: Mop-arian (aka The Little Dummy Varain Made In SOTSD That Showed Up For Two Seconds) Takes

i absolutely love maki designs with scars partially because i love realism but it's also funny imagining her in utdp trying to explain what's very clearly a stab wound scar away to kaede or someone by going "yeah those kids' scissors? not as dull as you might think" or something

Okay DRV3 Fans Let's Talk about Canon Ages.

Because I woke up and my brain connected the dots, and because some of you are fucking weird about High-school students. So let's clear the air here--and let's just say they're probably over 18 years old.

In my Gonta rant (which yes I'm linking here, go read it) I call him a young adult. Some people are under the impression (like that anon I got last night) that the V3 cast is canonly 16 or younger due to... whatever the fuck reason. But! I am here to argue a counter point--that the V3 Cast is actually much older and are more college age than young highschoolers.

First of all, let's remember the fact that in all DR games, the cast has gone to high school for some amount of years before their memories are wiped. V3 Also has this feature, and it is within the canon story that these kids remember attending HPA.

Now whether or not you believe this to be true is irrelevant right now because I need you to remember that the backstory for these characters was that they were being hunted down by the Ultimate Hunt, which means they were Ultimate Students at HPA first. Then they had their memories wiped to go into hiding. Yada yada.

The important part actually comes from Kirumi, however. Kirumi is the character that proves that the V3 cast is older than 18 years old.

Remember this tidbit--where Kirumi was the maid of the Prime Minister? Well, when do you think she became the maid for the Prime Minister, do you think?

I have an answer for you.

This is the dialogue from Kaito's "My Future" cutscene from DR:S. The "My Future" Cutscenes take place at the end of the run with the character chosen, and DR:S takes place right at the end of their 3rd year of attending HPA.

Kirumi doesn't specify who she will be working for, but considering that this person is such a big deal what she felt the need to consult Kaito about it, to help her sort out her feelings, I think we can all agree this is heavily referencing V3's plot where she is the Prime Minister's Maid.

This means that Kirumi only took the job as the Prime Minister's Maid at the very end of high school.

That means that by the time V3 runs around, she's well out of high school.

Now you can argue that V3 and DR:S aren't in the same canon--and you'd be right! I would never consider them to be canon to one another. However, this scene shows that in DRV3 and in DR:S, the intention for Kirumi to have been the Prime Minister's maid started at the very tail end of her time in high school. Same character, same backstory, different situation.

Meaning by that logic, Kirumi--as well as her other classmates--are over 18 years old in V3.

They are young adults.

since next part is taking FFORREEEVER im posting old concept snippets of conversations of kokichi and friends that like might suck cause i didnt do much research on their chars at the time except kokichi

Had a vision last night

Pretty Ulla...

(The sign says "entrance" if I translated it right (most likely didn't))

I've been wanting to do a piece like this for MONTHS and I finally sucked it up and did it. I have no idea why this ate up at me for so long seeing how niche it is. I've never been a sucker for perspective/environmental pieces (especially in fanart) but the leaked tangled bible just... inspired me... idk... I just wanted to draw a northern Asian environment in my tangled style.

These colors were suprising different. At first I wanted it to be pure night with Ulla holding a light but it was too dark so I made it a sunset (rise???) the hardest this was definitely the perspective. I'm not good with it and you would think the vocal point being a box would help BUT IT DID NOT!!

I felt evil making this 😭
