    Summary

    “Welcome to Sadness. Population one.”
    And I didn’t even understand what that meant before I started writing—what a fitting opening for such a hollow imitation. This piece tries so hard to echo the tone and texture of Dazai’s The Flowers of Buffoonery, yet ends up as nothing but a clumsy caricature. There is no subtlety here, no emotional precision—just a messy collage of borrowed anguish and half-formed ideas.
    Whit is no tragic martyr; he’s a poorly sketched stand-in, wandering through a plot that goes nowhere. His so-called relationships—with Mai, Eden, the nurse—are shallow and unconvincing, introduced without purpose and abandoned without resolution. The other patients drift in and out like props, contributing nothing to the tension or meaning of the narrative. The rhythm of the story is broken, choked by intrusive narration and indulgent self-commentary that adds nothing but noise.
    This isn’t tragicomedy—it’s just a failure of voice, vision, and restraint.
    “Welcome to Darkness. Population none.”

    Summary

    And David would rather impale himself on silence than admit he isn't. Because inside, always inside, there is a crawling thing, a thing with too many legs, a thing that never stops scratching at the base of his skull, whispering in his own voice:

    You’re only healthy because they said so. You’re only sane because you shut the fuck up. You’re only okay because you dismembered your suffering into pieces small enough to fit the white triangle of that pill cutter. Because you let them split you, dose you, dose your grief, dose your guilt, dose your misanthropy, dose your disdain, dose your screaming, dose your disgust at yourself for even still being alive.

    You are manageable now. Aren’t you proud?

    Summary

    Based on the darkfic With Pearl and Ruby Glowing, Darkness Within follows a similar premise where the cast of Danganronpa Despair Time in this alternative universe, instead of a killing game, find themselves stuck with sexual traumas from their past, and their present as they go to this recovery center instead. Here, they record their stories.

    Please note this story will tackle CSA, SA and other similar dark topics which will be marked with a trigger warning. While they are not graphically shown on screen, abuse is alluded too. The ever so lovely line "Don't Like Don't Read" applies here. You take care of yourself

    Summary

    What *does* happen when two blue-haired assholes decide that maybe it's time to find ways to settle down now that they're in college and haven't enough time to jump from one relationship to the next? To be honest with you, I'd say that it's reminiscent of a fatal chemical reaction, but somehow, Arei and David make it work... Well, if you look over all the dysfunction, that is.

    (This fic will probably never be continued unless I can find the energy to and people actually enjoy ts 😭🙏)
