I made a thing

...an unfinished and very much still in progress thing BUT AN OUMOTA THING NONETHELESS

Little fan animation I made. I don't know any Japanese so forgive me if I made any mistakes.

I made a flashback light chest out of clay!

This took me actual weeks but I think it turned out alright

Yes it is functional! I’m going to put so many trinkets in it

“I want to draw tenkangie!” > start drawing > Try to draw Tenko’s outfit > give up > rinse wash and repeat.

Old oumota wip i never finished..

Do you ship Varidrew?

I can see how a recent thing I drew could cause some confusion so let me set the record straight:

I DO NOT ship Varidrew. I personally think it’s gross and predatory.

I’m overall not into shipping. So unless it cannon or say I ship it, it’s safe to say I don’t.

some saimaki doodles :]

All the references I used/ put into this piece!!

(Disclaimer: All of this is based on the stories I was told. When googling I found vastly different information. Which makes sense, Hinduism is the oldest standing religion. Some things I say not be the widespread belief, but it what I was told and believed.)

That being said!

This is a reference to Lord Vishnu and his bull Nandi.

Vishnu is the lord of destruction, destined to end the world when it’s “done” basically.

I felt this fit Kokichi because of the theory Tsumugi wrote him to be the master mind.

I added a snake on his collar to show he was supposed to be Vishnu. The red tassel is supposed the be a “third eye” of sorts. (Originally I was going to portray him as Brahman who has several heads to represent wisdom, but I changed it. That’s why he has the several masks. I guess it could represent him “playing god”.) I also made his sash the toilet paper. That’s also why he looks blue (that and the purple looked weird against the yellow.)

Nandi’s story is where my version splits from the ones I’ve seen online. Basically Nandi was a boy gifted from Vishnu to a farmer who couldn’t have children. The crops started to suffer and the farmer fell ill, so Nandi prayed to Vishnu in order to help. Vishnu eventually came and fixed the crops, but took Nandi and turned him into a bull to use as a steed. Very depressing stuff.

I figured this was pretty Gonta-core (especially considering there’s some telling where Vishnu attacks using Nandi. There’s also a tradition where you whisper secrets into Nandi’s ear, which fits the whole “Gonta knows the secret of the outside world” thing.

I added a Swastika as a sort of contrast for the tragedy. It Hinduism (and many other religions) it’s seen as a symbol of peace and prosperity. So here it’s sorta like a heart sticker on a gushing wound.

In the west, Swastikas were corrupted into a symbol of hatred. I think it fit since Gonta’s sacrifice and intentions were turn into hatred for Kokichi in the group.

Anyway that’s it! If there’s questions feel free to comment or DM me. It’s pretty late so there might be some mistakes I missed, so just point them out so I can fix them.

1, 5 and 12 with Kokichi for the ask game👀

What do you like / dislike ?

There’s a ton of things I like about him it’s hard to choose just one.

But I really like his motifs. I feel like people (including me) are too quick to fall into his clown shoes, while a motif is that of a gamer (I couldn’t think of a better word). He’s just a guy that likes to play! His name means King Horse, two pieces on a chess board and he wears a chess board (kinda). Most of his FTE are just him playing games. And I like how it evolves to be a “player of the killing game” compared to everyone else’s forced participation.

What’s your least favorite cannon thing?

That he died.

Kidding kidding (kinda, I do feel like him living would make the themes of V3 better but that’s a rant for another day. )

It’s hard to choose a least favorite cannon thing because most of the stuff he says can be waved off as just him joshing. Idk, I guess my least favorite interpretation of his actions was that of a mercy kill during chapter 5. While it makes the most sense… it just doesn’t fit and I don’t know why.

(Edit: I wrote the wrong question like a dumbass mb. As for the actual question: obviously his fansong, but also CAT from Milgram and ENTER: BEGINNER’S GUIDE TO FAKING YOUR DEATH by Jhariah)

What is a headcannon you have?

I headcannon him as Korean, idk it just always felt right.

I also headcannon him to have heightened tastebuds. There’s a line in his FTE (I think) where he says he can’t taste at all, but I think it’s a lie. He actually prefers subtle flavors, but is willing to go through a sensory overload for his image.

I also head cannon that him and DICE became friends in a mental hospital (maybe escaped it together??). That’s why they were straitjackets.
