Oumota Weekend Day 2: Tattoo

Basically, a soulmate tattoo au where the idea is that when you touch your soulmate for the first time, a pattern-like tattoo/mark starts slowly spreading on your skin and will only stop spreading after you touch your soulmate a second time. 

Some people only have a small spot of a pattern while others are completely covered in it.

It took months of Kokichi hiding his soulmate pattern before it reached his jaw and Kaito found out.

God abandons me everytime i try to post something tbhk related tbhk content dont flop challenge

I will always stand by the fact that Kaito did the right thing at the end of the 5th Trial.

Shuichi's lie wouldn't just "have a low chance of succeeding", it wouldn't work at all. Monokuma was definitely monitoring Shuichi's every move, so he would have known if Shuichi had met Kokichi or disappeared from the cameras. Especially since the cameras literally everywhere. Literally.

Kaito did everything he could (and evеn more). He didn't "betray Kokichi", he didn't "abandon the plan at the last moment", he wasn't "forced to do something stupid for the sake of the plot". His decision was logical and justified. Shuichi would have just been digging his own and his friends' graves with that lie. Kaito realized that this was it, this was the end. The plan had completely failed and there was no way to save it. That's why he left Exisal.

It was a mistake on Shuichi's part to fully reveal and lay out the entire plan. By the time he realized that he should have played along and led everyone to a false verdict, it was already too late. There was nothing he could do.

But I'm not saying this to blame Shuichi for everything. His actions are understandable, his arc throughout the game was precisely that he learned to uncover the truth, despite all the obstacles. To reveal the killers, no matter how hard it was, no matter how much he didn't want to. Yes, he didn't realize in time that he needed to support the plan, but that was literally the opposite of what he had been learning all this time.

And another argument in Kaito's defense. He was running out of time. He had been holding on for the last few hours purely by the power of his stubbornness. However, he is not a superhuman and he cannot defeat his illness with sheer willpower. I think he felt that he had very little time left. And even if we assume that Shuichi's lie had a chance of success, it would most likely have led to long conversations, arguments and persuasion for another hour or two. And Kaito simply couldn't afford that luxury.

I feel a bit peeved every time Kaito is accused of "giving up" at the last moment. Even as a joke. Kaito did everything he could in that hopeless situation. This is the hill I will die on. Kaito did the right thing. He had no choice but to give up.

I felt evil making this 😭

For Valentine’s Day I offer this meme because they were the first thing I thought of when I saw this meme

im so fucking oumotapilled as of late i literally could not shut up about them even if i tried

I love to imagine that since Yong reminds Varian so much of his younger self, he pours so much care and support on nurturing Yong's curious mind in a way he never had in his own (prior to meeting Rapunzel). Showering the kid with encouragement, assurance and wisdom... to keep going.

And that because of this, Yong develops to embrace failure as part of the stepping stone process on getting something right. He is not afraid to admit when he's wrong, and is eager to learn where he can improve. He becomes braver, more sure of himself and grows to have stronger belief in himself and in his capacity as an inventor in his own merit.

He's the most open to all sorts of ideas, no matter how absurd it sounds on paper. He will be down to give it a shot and try to make it work cuz thats part of the fun. And thats something that's special about him in the group, he is the member that constantly reminds the team that learning for fun is just as important as taking their line of work seriously. And sometimes, the other three really needs that.

Every day kokichi wakes up and is forced to rap against yet another tumblr sexyman
