elimyx: HELLO!
So DJ! or Djinn Dupree is my oc from a little tabletop campaign triska did forever ago that was based on the 'john dies at the end' books. except set in new jersey

bratty snuggles.......

you immediately have my attention with all of those words already

i love tabletop ocs

he hasn’te ven done anything to her yet

SO he is a new jersey native, born and raised in an area my brain has smooshed together as Asbury park and Long Island for those who know the two He is also the antichrist. One of several because the devil likes to hedge his bets and most die before adulthood. DJ is one of the few that have made it this far. He has a little sister and mom he'd die for

and kill for

oh i love this premise

dropped out of high school for unaddressed learning disabilities reasons and also because of issues with his upbringing. He has a bad temper, no coping mechanisms, toxic masculinity and a heart of gold.
he is also 6'5, built like a fucking tonka truck, and trans

i love dj and my heart was so full when oz said he was bringing dj to rys

i immediately had to go poke kat abt jersey because i know nothing of jersey and the sheer whiplash of

"YAY ASBURY PARK" to "but long island is rich people" was hilarious

dj is my angel

but also i immediately stan dj and wish to subscribe to this newsletter

YEAH! he was from the more asbury park side of town, but there were definitely some long island Rich Bitches in the area he dated one it was very very bad and left him with some big issues he has still Not Addressed

my ocs end up as Big Bastards a lot of the time, and he definitely can swing that way when his demonic influences get rough but he also has a very strong protective instinct that causes him to be drawn to people like beato. he doesnt want to fix them. he just wants to Be There and is totally okay getting hurt

anyway i love him!

sometimes it's not about fixing, sometimes it's just

co-existing in the space together

and i love that for them tbh

here is his journal which includes his museum exhibit and app

i cannot wait for lion to be extremely baffled at this tall bastard

skull did i show you what he got her for not xmas

no???

omg

megagaytm: BRATTY SNUGGLES
shes not gonna insta-hug because they arent the type but like. shes going to weirdly want to. she missed. the he

this

oleseiyah: he has Taken Komaeda and were it not for the laws of this land-

once again: we will have to do a make up rp thing

to appease Celes

her need to be intimate but in her own way

megagaytm: EXACTLY! its about the Intricate Rituals
passiones: OH YEA!!!! because she got BIG mad when he touched lion's ring and he's like oh. okay here is a thing for You

hes a good boy................. hes good

dsokhgj scrEAMS

im die

she sent him a nude

to compliment their thing, but like. be your own thing

YEAH HE'S GOT IT IN HIS BEDROOM ON HIS WALL

bless

like a fucking playboy poster

okay i did know about the nude because i found that extremely funny and also the most beatrice thing ever

they're so stupid i love them

okay but. the brooch is also really hurtful in like, a good way,

for a reason lion will forever have memorized

both he and i know nothing about umineko so that is also good to know

it's a really stupid canon detail but all of the main family (so, lion's branch in their fragment) wear emerald brooches for reasons

mmmmmmmmmmhm

lion still has theirs unrelated to the ring but also:

OH FUCK!?!?!?!!???

this hurts

YEAH

hilariously their brooch is the one surviving part of their canon outfit after being dunked in Goop Ocean twice

that's why the stone in the ring, beato put it there to remind lion of the family ring they lost

OR I GUESS THEY SACRIFICED IT I THINK

in july

so it's all very circular and sad

the ring they sacrificed, and immedately regretted, yep

it's symbolic

but beato isnt sad about the brooch because dj got it for her and there is absolutely no way natsuhi would approve of dj so it's fine

holy fucking shit???

FINGERGUNS

well i'm glad beato likes it and it doesnt make her sad i honestly had NO idea and im admittedly fucking stunned and so delighted for the unexpected Extreme Canon Significance

it's really cool i honestly kept meaning 2 bring that up but life kept punching me in the face

but the gift made me cry out of my eye holes

the year did, unfortunately, start coming and did not stop coming

NO WORRIES bro everything is terrible lol

ASKLDJCASDF

i'd be crying about it rn if i wasnt deeply dehydrated

elimyx: please have a dwink

was literally about to refill my drink so we gucci

legit tho that's like. the perfect unintentional canon gift. i'm very emotional about it

no one told hinata the intricate rituals he just got here five minutes ago

he’s sorry

is he

PROBABLY!!!!!

hinata arrives in ryslig and is startled by how many things he has to be sorry about

GOD genuinely i as a person am like 'this poor motherfucker'
its also p hilarious tho

once again, hinata made the mistake of arriving in a place

i feel bad for him but also it is kind of the hinata way

boner move

elimyx: KALJSDFKJASDF

no this is absolutely the hinata way and i could not be more happy this is happening to him

his first mistake is always Just Being Here

hinata: breathes
17 people: BITCH

correct

ASKDJCAS

hinata: breathes
everyone on floor 8 except probably steve:

riley is the confused dude in sunglasses

perfect

it’s just like all his nightmares combined

riley is just confused she doesn’t think this guy did anything wrong!!

no it's probably cairo and steve who are in the bg like "who is this one" "i don't actually know"

steve stage whispering "is he evil" cairo like "bitch i dont know, he doesnt LOOK evil he just looks boring"

pLEASE

cairo like pause, thinks about riley: he's probably evil

CAI PLEASE

mukuro, tiredly: it's complicated

hjkdfljh

he’s not evil anymore he swears—

et tu cairo

cairo always et tus

[cairo voice] what! why are you booing me! we all eat people here

flyingthesky: CAIRO IS CORRECT LOL

esp the 'thinkin about riley' oh wait alkscjdsaf

fjDSFH

nobody cares if you're evil here on the peninsula! asterisk unless you're aunamee but that's just because he's insufferable and ALSO evil

^ its not the evil it's his mommy issues

(lovingly, i adore aunamee and nigh)

OH! also just because oleseiyah obviously this will probably come up eventually
obviously canon is not kind to celeste in terms of giving her Literally Anything to Work With At All. she has no canonical backstory and we see almost NONE of her real personality. So i have made up pretty much most of her shit thru sheer extrapolation

if anything comes up that i get wrong or weird or whatever pls lmk <3 no hard feelings whatsoever

i mention it a lot publicly anyway because like. i dunno i dont want to be a person who takes a canon character and makes them... not that... anymore...

ALSO i wanted to put it here on this plurk just because its worth mentioning to all of celeste's CR especially since i have had a few very sweet and lovely souls start playing DR1 only to be horribly disappointed when like... none of her 'backstory' shit i have essentially just created comes up

and i gotta be like 'yeah...;

shout out to danganronpa's shit author who loves designing characters just to throw them directly into the garbage

^ at least my canon review is short as hell

LMAO

i only gotta watch like four anime episodes

as the resident danganronpa scholar i give your celes a big stamp of approval

okay but on the flip side, that means it's your canon now

five second rule means he doesn't want it back

what you come up with is based in solid canon and reality and makes total sense as applied to the character

triskahyena: every time you say this to me, it makes me cry with joy

oz as someone who gets a few lines of dialogue to extrapolate from in a two hour musical
i heavily relate

elimyx: EXACTLY he stabbed me with this knife i might as well be allowed to keep it

OZ I LOVE YOU AND YOUR CELES

kabunevermind: ASHLEY HONESTLY BLESS i also had no idea what the fuck was up with we are the tigers and then when i looked into it i was like 'oh my god... its the same'

me, looking at hagakure: occasionally, we could have done without the extra

gently sits here. im not sure how it would happen but if my little oc lad gets in i would love for him to meet dj some day (his app is kind of a mess so im just fingers crossed rn)

triskahyena: WELL I LOVE YOUR MUKURO

nixthat: dj will adopt Every Teenager
SPEAKING OF i do want to throw him riley's way next month too

flyingthesky: LKJASKLJSFS that's how i feel about yamada being totally honest. like he's both important and also No thank you

sympathy nodding from the ep7 corner with lion too honestly

LIKE I LOVE MY SOURCE MATERIAL SO MUCH BUT BY THE NATURE OF IT BEING A MURDER MYSTERY WHERE YOU DONT. GET THE MURDERER’S MOTIVATION UNTIL SHE IS HAVING A PSYCHOTIC BREAK.

HOOOO BOY. GOTTA THINK A LOT ABOUT HOW THE FUCK WE GOT HERE

like we get a decent bit from context but then you actually go "okay how much of this can i use" and the answer is

not that much, apparently

my lad isn't quite on dj's level but he is a demon. sort of.

honestly celes was like. one of my favorite characters in dr1 so i completely understand keep at it

u seem cool and chill i trust you

kabunevermind: EXACTLY!!!!! I'm like 'the dr1 kids are supposed to be much more inherently good natured. and yeah she did The Only planned fucked up thing but like... we gotta think about how we got here. this is an EXTREME situation'

like so extreme several of these kids dont think it is real until someone dies in front of them

you have to work backward with what you have and sometimes you arrive at a very upsetting place but it's like huh alright! let's work with this!

i've also had to extrapolate for dr backstory but it's like. infinitely less important to hinata so i get off scott free byeee

another part of the celes characterization pile: she reacts the same way to corpses the way that kirigiri and togami do

oleseiyah: thank like i said i just wanted to mention you can always lmk if im biffing it without me losing my shit lol.
and YEAH hinata also lives in the camp of 'what did they used to do-hahaaaaaaaa.. doesn't matter'

nixthat: vibrates hope you always wanted an older brother

god irrelevant fun fact: a part of my family is yamadas and i hate them so every time yamada comes up in dr i'm like "what? i couldn't hear you. i had headphones on."

elimyx: OOF that also explains why when i tried to look up lion the wiki was like 'bruh idk what to tell you'

he'll never talk about it so i live dangerously

surprise! i am full of salt

we were supposed to get an actual backstory for ep7's two new characters in ep8 and then. that happened. so.

:^Y

but that just means i wing it as a result

triskahyena: SHE SURE AS FUCK DO!!!! does it get addres-NOPE! celeste that girl just got literally eviscerated in front of you and you literally. DID NOT REACT. WHAT THE FUCK

celeste standing there alongside the girl who examines corpses as her calling and the kid who has already been through a fucked up battle royale with his FAMILY and has developed into an actual sociopath

she's probably normal!

flyingthesky: thank god you had your airpodsi n

literally when mukuro dies celeste just does the hand-over-mouth thing and is quiet until someone is like "what the fuck"
eventually pipes up with essentially "she deserved it, i did tell her adapt or die"

YEAH THE FIRST THING SHE SAYS IS 'I TOLD YOU SO'

like??? this girl is not fucking okay yall

she also doesnt flinch at the chapter two Surprise Inside character or togami's fucked up crime scene tampering

she's just like 'oh okay that explains it then' like ?????

she's terrible. i love her

anyway that along with her talent is why i'm like 'this bitch was part of the yakuza from a very young age and they probably treated her Not Well'

my favorite thing is when she asks togami what the fuck is wrong with him in the library she's Smiling

smiling and laughing are her nervous tells and i will die on this hill

she's like "oh you're like for real psycho lol" aND HE SMILES BACK LIKE AH YES I SEE YOU ARE A WOMAN OF CULTURE AS WELL

(i love this oz and you are correct)

YAKUZA BACKSTORY I INSTANTLY LOVE IT

eye emoji respectfully

the city she's actually from also HAS a very known yakuza group who makes money off illegal gambling

or had until like, they did into early 2000s but ya know

also i just like the idea of her and peko both being red eyed sad yakuza kids who got purchased basically

AND YOURE RIGHT

YOU'RE SO RIGHT

it's free symbolism!

its free symbolism

belatedly my lads very likely going to miss his older sister so any kind of sibling-figure would be v much appreciated i think

(also i feel you on None Backstory and worrying about making a canon character too different... pointed glares at abba. i think in general if the Vibes stay the same though?? it can do so much for fleshing out why and who they are)

also i gave her catholic guilt and trauma because the whole witch burning thing. especially bc junko specifically used executions to bring up fucked up backstory shit for characters. also why she does the little hand-clasp prayer thing when she's really freaking out and the whole you know. aesthetic

and as junkuro said; it is hilarious to have a catholic demon

nixthat: all these manga/anime writers givin us none backstory with left beef.
also HELL yeah dj is gonna love this new little lad

anyway thats my gorl thots thanks for coming to my tedtalkascljkasdf

everybody else in bucci squad gets a backstory except abba and mista who get acab and acab implied

i love the backstory shit you've come up with for celes and you are a better writer than the fucko who originally came up w her

the jjba author like: we've got an angry wine aunt and a single father with anxiety and thats all you gotta know

omg anne thank you that means a lot

oh the catholic angle for the witch burning is a strong one

its so frustrating genuinely. all u need to know about abba is that i also slap him with catholic guilt. is it overdone? maybe but im catholic so its funny

CATHOLIC GUILT IN ANIME CHARACTERS ALSO GOOD THO. LOOK AT FUCKIN HOMURA AKEMI

looks at evangelion

it's true,

also why she just keeps insisting she's 'not ashamed' of her crimes. methinks the liar doth protest too much

but no like. i didn't know about the New Celes Backstory lore but i'm loving everything i've heard about it in here

LMAO thanks i made a lot of it myself alksjdcas

sometimes you gotta!!! i know nothing of celeste so i look forward to learning more about your (correct) celeste

IT'S GOOD SHIT AND OZ IS SMART AND CELES DESERVES THE LOVE

i guess i just try to connect all of my extrapolations to at least one fact. like just. to try and tie it to the much more 2d reality hahaaaa 2d

triskahyena: triska i am dying

i agree with triska

i also agree with triska

Lays facedown thanks yall

kisses djs forehead I love him and Gabe will give him the month off because he gets it
