This campaign is created on behalf of a very valuable and dear friend of mine, Hammad A., who is dealing with devastating tragedy and loss that none of us in the empirical core could possibly begin to imagine.
Hammad is one of the most thoughtful, considerate, and hard-working people I know -- and while he has tried his best to provide for his family under these immensely difficult circumstances, he now needs our help to keep him and his family alive.
Picture this: Your life has been turned upside down instantly; everything you have worked your whole life for -- gone in an instant. Everything you once knew turned to rubble and destruction. Your home, where you grew up and created childhood memories with -- gone. Your job, where you dedicated your energy and effort into building a career you loved -- gone. The most basic necessities we take for granted -- warmth, fresh air, the ability to move around freely and safely -- ripped away from you.
As you understand by now, there is only so much resilience the human body can endure, and the urgent need to do anything you can to save your family is the exact reason Hammad has allowed us the opportunity to help him and his family be freed from the immense suffering and stress they currently face.
His tent was recently flooded, damaging the little items that he had after losing everything, and destroying the little shelter he and his family had to protect them against the harsh elements.
Chuffed has a waiting period for processing and transferring funds. If you want your donation to IMMEDIATELY be sent to Hammad, paypal is linked below.
THIS IS SO GOOD. FAWKKKK I NEED THIS SO BAD ?????
These two polar opposites meet as classmates during some of the most immature years of their lives, and suddenly, they have this purpose to engage with each other. The game of cat and mouse started on day one. Kokichi finds Kaito so boring and predictable, and yet it's interesting enough to keep going back to, to keep provoking, someone who, despite how badly Kokichi acts, will always keep chasing after him. Kaito finds Kokichi to be a nuisance, someone who is always doing what he perceives as wrong. But Kaito doesn't give up on anything or anyone, even if his empathy for Kokichi comes secondary to his anger, he's still looking for a presence of good. And there begins their denial of what they mean to each other. It's not that nobody likes Kokichi, because in a world where there isn't a killing game, he's just annoying and occasionally antagonistic. But he's always surprising Kaito by making him laugh. Genuinely and fully. They challenge each other, and feel challenged by each other. Kokichi will call Kaito stupid any day but he knows that Kaito is smart. And Kaito comes to realize how intelligent Kokichi truly is behind all of his stories.
When they finally start to meet in the middle and understand each other, something of a partnership grows. It's a slow process, but bit by bit they have to admit to themselves that they're friends.
Sometimes they have these long, subdued talks. They get to see this quieter side of each other. And it's nice. It's comfortable. Too nice for Kokichi who realizes that there are only two ways this can end, and the nicer option feels near impossible. So he starts to speed up the destruction of their relationship. He's mean and underhanded and everything that he knows Kaito hates. But there's nothing he can do about how suspicious it all looks. Kaito knows that something is off. This isn't Kokichi having fun.
This all comes to a head one day, in front of the whole class. Most of the class had no idea that the two were so close at all. When Kokichi runs, shouting back what he thinks is one last deterrent, Kaito's friends tell him not to pursue it. But of course, he's going to. He loves and trusts Maki and Shuichi, but he has a gut feeling that something is wrong. More than a gut feeling, really, just something that he knows.
He chases Kokichi, the way everything all began, and finally catches up to him. He's still frantic, trying anything to get Kaito to just let it go, but he doesn't give up. On the rooftop of Hopes Peak, two boys have to face what they mean to each other.
I dunno if this makes any sense haha but I'm really hungover and this is all I could think about.

Me and who?? 🙏
kokichi
OMGOMG I UNDERSTAND U YES
i do think he would still be able to warm up to kichi though, just not ENOUGH ya know..
But yeah the big reason he wouldn't be able to immediately warm up to him is definitely also because of kokichi's personality in general
But i do think at some point, specifically with photography (w the assumption of photography still being a hobby of his), i think he would question if there's anything more beyond what kokichi shows
In the og material drv3 he does still put kokichi in equal footing....ish... Before the "mastermind reveal", he generally hates the guy cuz he doesn't seem to take things seriously and would always rile him up but post chapter 4 we can see him address kokichi and gonta w the same accountability claiming BOTH of them snapped under the pressure, so i do think there is a semblance he doesn't completely despise him and that he's a little more observant than we may think but its just that he's often also quickly distracted by his annoyance the second kokichi starts acting out of line again
Kaito is extremely lovable while also being extremely flawed as a char and as a person,like how he does selfless acts for selfish reasons, but i dont think its that he doesn't WANT to help Kokichi it's just that the thought never occured for him to help because kokichi's so good at acting like he has a rainbow propeller hat with a giant rainbow spiral lollipop even during his worst moments
So adopting that into the au, considering they're not in a kg and kokichi wouldn't be purposefully antagonizing himself in an extreme way to also suck up to monokuma, i think kaito would have an easier time warming up but the catch is that by the time he did it was kindddd of too late ! I think he'd probably still be able to say something sappy to or about kokichi before then, but kokichi probably would respond like "wow ew what a sap ugh get away from me." And maybe a few insults to get kaito to stop focusing on his original words
Kaito does a lot of things for selfish reasons but he does also have an IMMENSE belief for other people, for better or for worse, and i wouldn't be surprised if just a little before kokichi went poof he would start warming up a bit and believe in kokichi
But thennnn !!! That happens and the rest of his actions would probably be a mix between the small buds that had only started peaking before they were ripped away and guilt
I hope im making some sense HELPPP
HI I WAS THE ONE WHO SENT THE MITSUKOU OUMOTA ASK . I GET WHAT YOU MEAN COMPLETELY. LIKE LIKE LIKE
Oumota and mitsukou are definitely similar but they're not the same, they have differing personalities but i honestly love to do a reimagining of them with their canon personalities anyways
a LOT of interactions would def be diff, i feel like whatever.. cowardice? Kokichi shows would be more like.. played as fake or something and kaito would be very different from kou if he was in his position
Probably flexes more, being selfish and selfless at the same time, etc BUT . THEY MOST DEFINITELY. would still have that entire "how about i die too" scene
UGH ITS BEEN A HOT MINUTE SINCE I'VE SEEN ANYTHING ABT TBHK IM GONNA HAVE TO REREAD IT AGAIN SO I CAN ACTUALLY. PUT MY THOUGHTS DOWN BETTER BUT OMGOMGOMG . I will come back when i do. THIS HAS BEEN IN MY HEAD EVER SINCE I SAW UR DOODLES OF OUMOTA MITSUKOU INTERACTIONS 💔💔💔💔💔💔
YESSSS I TOTALLY AGREE
The how about i die too scene would probably happen bc since by that point the real kokichi is already completely gone and kaito didnt do anything to protect him hed probably use protecting the fake kokichi as a second chance to prove to himself that hes a good person bc realistically speaking i dont think kaito wouldve warmed up to the real kokichi as fast as kou warmed up to sousuke bc kaito seems a lot more judgy to people like kokichi in my opinion like i know his whole friendship with maki started bc he decided to just randomly trust maki even tho it turned out shes an assasin he never fully trusted kokichi and i think thats bc kokichi acts out a lot more than maki and kaito never really saw maki doing the bad stuff its claimed she does so i think he quite literally only believes what he sees and ignores everything else?? Idk like i said i dont really know much about kaito
Anyways since kokichi would still make mean and snarky comments as a ghost i think kaito wouldnt even want to help him but after he sees kokichi perish or smt hed feel real guilty!! So i feel like he wouldnt even accept that the second kokichi is a fake just to sleep better at night and to think that god gave him a second chance to save him and shi
