I really love how you can tell a story just with how characters call each other in japanese (which is way im so upset it was cut in the english translation) if they use honorifics or not, which honorifics they use, who they call with first name basis and who they call with last name, so much you could with it.
All that to talk about how postgame/vr au oumota call each other, disclaimer i still yet to get my hands on the japanese version to have more nuance so if theres anything incorrect please tell me
Now, for Kaito for a long time is just "Ouma" (if im not wrong Kaito doesn't use honorifics for Ouma) as more times go on he starts slipping more and more calling him "Kokichi" which he promptly corrects himself because theres a closeness he doesn't want to admit to others or himself; as more time goes on -the more he starts accepting it- he starts shamelessy calling him by name then it morphs into a more casual nickname, i like him using "'kich"
For Ouma is more complicated because i think even after years hed still call him "Momota-chan" but also like stupid nicknames like "Momo-chan" or in a very stupid hc I have "Mochi"(this is due to Makiroll and shumai -if im not mistaken- being inspired by food and i wanted a momota version of that) those are obv done to be embarrassing to Momota, which he initially protests but starts getting used to it at some point, they also keep him at arm's length make it seem like theres still some distance between them.
"Kaito" is reserved for vulnerable quiet moments between the two of them, just the two of them. Nobody else.
Oumota ily
I am a woman from Palestine Gaza 🇵🇸.
I once had a modest but loving home with my husband, Mohammad, and our four children: Mahmoud, Somaya, Mostafa, and little Sila.
Our house was small, but it held our world — filled with warmth, laughter, and dreams.
Mohammad worked as a tailor, using his hands to stitch dignity into our days, providing just enough for us to live in peace.
An airstrike hit our neighborhood.
Our home collapsed under the force of the explosion.😭💔
We escaped with nothing — not clothes, not memories, not even the toys my children cherished.
Mohammad’s tailor shop was demolished by Israeli bulldozers, leaving him without work, without tools, without hope.
Now, we live in a torn, fragile tent.
It doesn’t shield us from the cold.
It doesn’t protect my children from hunger or fear.
Rain seeps in. The nights are long and cruel. My children cry themselves to sleep.
I am a mother who cannot provide warmth, food, or safety.
I watch them suffer — I hear their tiny whispers asking when we’ll go home again… and I have no answers.
I am Alaa😓.
I don’t ask for much.
Just a chance to live with dignity again.
Just a moment of mercy.
If you hear me… if you feel my pain…
🌸Please help us🌸🙏.
Even the smallest act of kindness can bring light into our darkness.
From a mother with nothing left but a trembling voice… thank you❤️🫂.

so i drew some of my favourite lil guys rn
Someone release me from this checkerboard-themed hell (ft like one ghost au doodle)
(Warning: spoilers for drv3 n stuff)
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
