Confession:I think Sonia should’ve died in chapter 3 instead of Hiyoko. She was clearly on the path of a redemption arc, but they decided to kill her off before she got there. I remember hearing somewhere that Fuyuhiko was supposed to die in her place, but that would’ve made Peko’s sacrifice a waste. Except Hiyoko’s death has that same problem, because it means that Mahiru’s death was a waste too. Honestly my way of fixing it is having Sonia die instead. She was even the one to suggest Hiyoko head to the music venue for a mirror, so it would make sense for Hiyoko to ask Sonia to get it for her, she heads to the music venue and sees Mikan murdering Ibuki and gets subsequently killed. Problem solved
Some more DR Tenebres AU for my soul specifically;;; <33333
I’d been sitting on a half-finished bust of Miu for a while + was waiting for @snellyfish to finish designing her she is SO SPLENDID. OMNOMNOMNOM. And I also got a Hiyoko ref out of @senvurii2 my beloved (derogatory) SO I WANTED TO DRAW HER I LOVE HER COLORS SO MUCH HRGHRGRHRGH.
Understandably they have most of these characters’ lore. But to briefly summarize: Miu is the adoptive daughter of Souda and Nekomaru, surrogated by Mikan. She’s a mage excelling in electricity-based magic and invention. Hiyoko in our AU is significantly younger than the rest of the DR2 cast (Closer to DRV3 age, but still older) and is the adoptive daughter of Mahiru and Yasuhiro. She’s a mage with a unique set of horns she sprouted from her time being a Remnant of Despair.
I also just wanted to doodle some interactions of Hiyoko and her younger sister Himiko. They have beautifully polarizing personalities and I love them. :)
i was talking about a non despair au with my friend where leon starts a punk band, and bc of how much hiyoko loved ibukis song in game i thought shed be perfect to be the tiniest little drummer full of rage
