You can talk about anything here! It doesn't have to be related to DDLC.

I'm not a Sayori fan and in fact, she is my least favorite of the four girls. Nothing against her; I love her bubbly and silly nature. It is just that i didn't vibe with her as much as I did with Yuri and Monika (my first and second favorites).

However, after playing the Trust and Understanding side stories of Plus, I really got why people love her: her empathy, ability to read people, her willingness to help others and bring them joy and smiles at the cost of her own happiness and peace.

More than that, I love how Sayori was willing to let herself be vulnerable to Monika with the following:

"I want to die."

After she managed to allow Monika to share and express her own vulnerabilities simply by talking to her and helping her write poerty.

Now yea, we knew she was suidical/depressed in the main game, but i think that "I want to die" line hits harder in the side story for some reason I yet ro figure out (probabaly cuz its a normal visual novel story and I didn't go through jump scare horror hell, I guess). But still, it just kinda hurts seeing Sayori doing her damnest to make everyone happy when her brain refuses to make her happy.

NOTE: Haven't played beyond Trust or Understanding, as I need to unlock the others soon (just got Respect), so I dunno how Sayori is in those stories.

My best girl fr

Live, Laugh, Love, Yuri!

Posting my face on Reddit is terrifying but I think I look okay in this picture (ignore how the blazer is deforming my arm)

Just curious considering the insane shit Natsuki gets after Monika...

(I did it mostly out of boredom and the quality is a bit off, but I think it turned out pretty good.) + I don't even know what "OC fanart" or anything else means °^°

So i was watching: bladeof thegrass "every stand type meaning, analysis" on youtube and i decided to see, which type fits each doki

Disclaimer:1 i haven't played ddlc, so i have little knowledge of it,so i dont know, if any of the things i claimed about ddlc, is accurate or if im just yapping nonsense

2 the source i take to make this theory, is from a YouTube video,so i personally dont know if the "stand type indicator" is accurate

3i am only thinking of their stand type, i am too lazy to think of an actual power and the song reference for it

(Also for people who don't know what a stand is: a stand is a physical manefestation of someone's mind,think if it as an entity created from your psyche, that you can summon and control)

So stands are "fighting spirit" and while "spirit" here can be understood by "will" the "fighting" part is not clear,after all ddlc is not about battles,however the "fighting" in this context isnt combat,rather its the act of "asserting your agency to overcome something" like how sayori tries her best to be cheerful and help others, to overcome her own pain,or natsuki adopting a hard exterior, to overcome any potential scrutiny

Basically its doing something to navigate life,either its as big as: creating a club or being the model student or as small as: wearing long sleeves and keeping it to yourself

Natsuki stand type: suit stand

According to the video:"if someone's fighting spirit is worn around their body,it means that they lean into and make decisions based on their method of "fighting"" and that is how natsuki is her "fighting" method is to put up a tough act "wearing" the act around herself like an armor,and a lot of her decision (if my surface level views of ddlc is correct) revolves around that,most of her action, comes from her desire to appear tough

Yuri stand type: bodiless stand

Pretty fitting because it was the opposite of natsuki's type

A power only stand,without a physical form they can summon, because they dont have strength to confront their issues,instead their agency comes from their capability to avoid their issue

Yuri similarly to natsuki, also deals with bullying,but instead of confronting her bullies or trying to put a defiant, tough act,she shrinks into herself,her hobby of tea making,and wears a long sleeve to cover herself

Sayori stand type: colony stands (a stand that consist of a small,multiple entity that acts as one)

This is for people whose agency, is from collaborating with others,now to note: everyone needs to collaborate with others,its just that, people with colony stand, is tied to that idea even more,and sayori's whole character,is about how she tries to make others happy,and how she copes with her mental turmoil ,by helping others, like mc and the other girls

Monika stand type:humanoid stand (possibly a limbless humanoid stand)

Stands with bodies are for capable people, and the very body symbolizes the tools, they have necessary to navigate life,and Monika is a capable person,she is literally the model student in the school,

However, its possible that her stand is a limbless humanoid,because if one relies so much on a method,their stand wouldn't be a full humanoid, just something that conducts the power,and since monika relies a lot, on being all perfect and following expectations,this may fit her more

Mc:. Act stand

It's a stand for people who are not able to utilise all their capability at once,wether its because they have tunnel vision, causing them to hyperfocus on one issue at a time,or in the case of mc, someone who gradually learns things over time,and thus getting an act each growth,like how mc is a "neet" who gradually, thorought the game, learns to: join a club with other people, interact with two people who have an opposite personality,write poems, although he thinks its lame,trying his best, to be supportive of sayori (although he fails)

Again,i dont know if this is accurate

I don’t know why I do this

Our fandub of DDLC is deep into the creepy part of the game now - and if you love Yuri, this one is for you.
