But They Were Soooo Yummyyyy!!

Spoilers for DRV3!

This idea was plaguing my brain since I heard this song!

Sometimes I think about how Kaito and Kokichi had the shared unique experience of being two people who knew they only had a limited time to live (Kokichi and the poison/Kaito with his illness.)

I think as he lived through his last hours, Kokichi probably would've felt some sort of respect towards Kaito for being able to live passionately despite knowing he wasn't going to live life as long as everyone else. Vice versa, really. I think Kaito also would've felt some respect towards Kokichi for wanting to make the most of what little time he had left, even if that was designing and carrying out his own demise.

Only they both knew what it was like to live life knowing the end was close, and they both embraced that instead of fearing it. I think that might be why Kaito was so willing to work with Kokichi even though he hated him. Kokichi, although briefly, knew he was racing against time, and still fought for something he cared about (ending the killing game.)

I also love that they both got to go out their own ways after being doomed to die. (Kokichi and the hydraulic press and Kaito passing because of his illness and not Monokuma's punishment. Their deaths felt like a middle finger to Monokuma personally, and I love that for them.) They were denied the right to live long lives, but they made damn sure they went out with a bang.

(I also think about how easily Kokichi could've saved himself but instead gave Kaito the antidote. Maybe that was another reason why Kaito decided to help him carry out his plan. Kokichi knew Kaito was dying, but still decided he should be the one who got to live. I don't think Kokichi saw Kaito's illness as a weakness. After all, his reasoning to give Kaito the antidote was so he could blackmail Kaito using Maki. Kaito's illness wasn't something Kokichi ever saw as a hindrance or factor (from what I can remember.) Kokichi just saw Kaito as someone capable of carrying out his plan.)

i keep forgetting it’s 2025 😩

This is so gorgeous. The contrasting desaturated colors <3 the fireworks for framing. The poses!!

What I would do for the giant floppy sleeves varian has on. Also as the resident sparkler experts, Varian holding it so close to Hugo’s face is slightly frightening. But I can imagine him shoving it up his nose like this:
