Stop erasing Matt Engarde's scars. I'm sick of people claiming that "His breakdown didn't leave a scars, his scar must have been made by something other than those scratches". No. The marks he makes on himself during his breakdown are all the same shape as his first scar, and the one he makes on his left eye is even a carbon copy. Canonically, after 2-4, Matt Engarde has self-mutilation scars all over his face. And I'm sorry if that spoils his "soft little boy UWU" look for you, but there it is.
So if you want to draw him after his breakdown and without scars, be honest with yourself. Say "I find people with self-mutilation scars so ugly that I can't even stand that a character I love has them" and stop hiding behind false excuses.
Ya know one of the reasons I ship Kuzusouda is because if a situation played out where Fuyu realizes how dense Kaz really is, he might actually have the balls to grab Kaz’s face like-
“YOU’RE MAKING HER UNCOMFORTABLE YOU OBLIVIOUS, MINDLESS ASSHOLE! SHE’S NOT TEASING YOU, SHE GENUINELY HATES YOU AND YOU MADE IT THAT WAY!”
Or something like it in a effort to change things because he’s so fucking done with it. Done with Kaz in general. Done with everyone doing nothing to fix the problem. Begrudgingly done with everyone assuming, like he did at first, that Kaz knows how he’s coming off and that he still acts the same despite it.
And so then by indirectly helping Kaz to get a clue and apologize to Sonia profusely, he gets a firsthand experience with Kaz’s real personality. And you know…he might actually start to like him. Maybe.

So I unfortunately wasn’t able to finish my original drawing for Kaito’s birthday on time (thank procrastination and adding too many people for that), so I opted to make a quick piece to post before the end of the day
HAPPY BIRTHDAY KAITO I LOVE YOU TOO MUCH!! 🎉✨💕🎂
I have nothing to say
i could say i love matt engarde because he is tragic young hollywood and there's also implications that his relationship with inpax was Very Bad by way of her being his manager and quite a few years older and i could get really into that and dig into the nuances of his character
but it is So Much Easier to just say murder man pretty
Explanation for this:
Dangaronpa V3 is kinda meh to me so this is my au in which Rantaro and Kaede are the main protagonist and antagonist duo.
I also think the 3rd trial is a big waste of potential. They had such a cool idea in mind with the whole "Korekiyo confessed to one murder but not the other" but then in the end it's revealed he actually commited both and it's like.... ok??? You're telling me we could've had a trial with 2 murderers who didnt know about eachother's exsistance and that no matter what there would be a killed left among the survivors??? Anyways in this au I like to pitch the idea of Himiko secretly being the second killer who accidentally murdered Angie and although Korkiyo did kill Tenko his crime doesn't count as Himiko killed Angie before him.
There could've been fun loopholes I'm just saying 🙄🙄🙄
Also I think the dynamic between Rantaro and Kaede could've been fun to explore in a "Kaede wants to trust and believe her friends while Rantaro is aware they could betray them at any moment" kind of situation
Never forget that his ass goes teehee
narumitsu be upon ye
