I think what needs to be remembered is that there are like 8 people playing for a reason..........so. :zzz: I would be very careful about how they’re being treated.

I disagree with Jackson if his notion was that poetry doesn't belong in rap, but the criticisms of your song were similar for me so I would say it's most likely bad wording on his part. :katie: 

I don't care about criticisms, so long as they make sense. Contradicting yourself goes completely against that. You can't praise me one week for being poetic, and criticise me the next week for being poetic. It simply doesn't make sense and there's honestly no way to convince me it does, because to me in writing you are free to do what you want to do, that is what creativity and art is after all. You can choose to be poetic if you want, you can choose to be direct if you want, whatever your stylistic choices it should make no difference because they are your OWN to make. You shouldn't be told to change, because there is no such thing as what is "appropriate" and to have someone say that and police creativity like that is seriously discouraging.

Would it be better if it was phrased like "Your poetic style didn't work as smoothly in constructing a rap as it has in your other entries and I think this because _____" ?

No because that's a completely different thing to what he said in the first place, which is that my style was not appropriate. And it remains you simply can't tell somebody that. Saying it "didn't work smoothly" is not the same as inappropriate.

Well I didn't.... get it :fan:

 

But I'm on chapter 4 right now. I know the culprit/victims of case 5/6 but not so much the content of chapter 5 and only a vague amount of chapter 6 but yeah. Miu and Tenko are the best characters btw. 

:clown: nn I don't understand. You're watching a playthrough? :jonny2: I read spoilers earlier this year but I want to actually play it. I feel like my wig will be snatched if I did

no, i 100% stand by my view that pear's entry is not a rap song due to its style, and that's exactly what i meant

nnn yeah. I usually do other stuff :eli: to get them if they're on PC but this is vita so I have to use youtube. You won't regret it when you start. I definitely think that at least the class trials in this game are the best in any game. Case 1 ESPECIALLY blows the other 2 case 1s out of the water. A few of the characters do feel a bit one note to me, but that's okay because I still have a fair amount that I stan for. It's honestly a lot darker than the other 2 games (somehow) but overall I think it's definitely worth it. 

:eli: oop I understand. it's on steam so it's only a matter of time before... but I can't let myself buy another game I have too many to finish ugh. Mess at it being darker. Danganronpa 1 was literally hell for me. I cried so much. I do remember the twist of case 1. the "suprise b*tch" moment. screaming

Sis I went into case 1 with the spoilers too knowing what would happen and it STILL destroyed me and caught me off guard somehow :jonny: like not so much the fact that it happened but moreso HOW it happened caught me off guard. It's amazing even when you KNOW the spoilers gbjdsbg

 

And yeah DR1 was so emotional :'( Asahina is still one of my favorite DR characters and potentially my favorite. I'm so glad she survived that + the DR3 anime. Asahina made it so much more emotional and impactful ESPECIALLY in case 4/slapping and dragging Togami :jonny3: I love Kirigiri so much too.

 

I personally found DRV3 much sadder though so gl to you :jonny: 

:jonny2: my finger is on the purchase button rn. no regrets

Asahina/ Kirigiri are everything. DR 3 left me so shook omg. :chick3:

"Asparagus Water" - Tsareena
 

  Hide contents

 
[Verse 1]
At my age I'm wondering how we got to this stage
We stripped the desire to live like plastic dolls
Changed our ways and tried to focus on healthy ways
But damn it feels like it's all still the same
Now we're all trying to be a specific kind of real
To our Instagram followers and damn internet friends
Conceal our mistakes to appeal to these damn friends
Now being seen as real is just the new ideal
But nothing good about this Instagram culture
Just a bunch of fraudulence and culture vultures
Celebrate these make believe society ruptures
Who don’t do much and end up maintaining the structure
Look at me Look at me
I'm living my best life
Travelling from city to city just partying
But no one knows how much I'm really owing
Look at me Look at me
I'm losing so much weight
I worked out and ate less and now I'm looking smaller
But ignore that lap band surgery I had last October
 
[Chorus]
Folks acting like asparagus water
Trying to bottle up nothing for a pretty dollar
But they don’t know that we know
That it’s all for show
You can try to deny but we all know the flow
It’s just water
So don’t bother
It ain't nothing new
 
[Verse 2]
Okay so now skinny is out and thick is in right?
But It's all about thickness but just in the right places
We call the thick girls fat and unhealthy bitches
And celebrate unnatural waists and call that realness?
Oh but you know we're all woke now too
No racism on your timeline while you ignore real calamity
Play cards against humanity and laugh at police brutality
But it's cool cuz you're woke so you ain't part of the insanity
And yeah we care about mental health now too
Stop the bullying we tweet while you call that girl a cow
And then you hear she killed herself and you’re like oh wow how
Forgot the power of words and how they might have hurt her?
I get it I get it
I sound like a hater
But I'm sick and tired of seeing the ignored murders 
of my trans sisters in the hand of the oppressor 
I get it I get it
I sound like a hater
But I’m sick and tired of seeing people in poverty
People who work and grind then get called entitled n’ lazy
 
[Chorus]
Folks acting like asparagus water
Trying to bottle up nothing for a pretty dollar
But they don’t know that we know
That it’s all for show
You can try to deny but we all know the flow
It’s just water
So don’t bother
It ain't nothing new
 
[Bridge]
I get it I get it
I sound like I’m hating
But we need to lay off the scheming
Packaging nothing and selling it as everything
No more pre-peeled oranges in plastic 
And no more damn asparagus water
Drain the water and eat your asparagus
Cus that’s where all the bitter truth about us lies
 
[Chorus]
Folks acting like asparagus water
Trying to bottle up nothing for a pretty dollar
But they don’t know that we know
That it’s all for show
You can try to deny but we all know the flow
It’s just water
So don’t bother
It ain't nothing new

 

This is fantastic. Really, really good. I'm so glad a few of y'all did serious social-commentary songs, I love stuff like this. Wig.

Would an art teacher assign you to draw a rainbow and then remove half your colours? I'm looking for the sense but I don't really see it. 

Please don't think I'm shading you because I genuinely agree with a lot of the points you've made but this analogy kinda made me kii.

 

If an art teacher assigned you to draw a rainbow and removed half your colours (but still left you with the basics; red, blue, yellow) you could still draw a rainbow. Red + Yellow = Orange, Yellow + Blue = Green, Blue + Red = Purple. So if anything this analogy kinda argues for the creative restrictions being tested in a way I don't think you intended it to. :fan:

ok wow the people have had iT

 

i actually don't think any of these limitations are stifling creativity; i think they're encouraging it. instead of going for the first option our brains will throw at us—that may include a polysyllabic word or the letter D—it's forcing us to think through alternates. it's pushing us into new territory that our basic brains wouldn't have taken us to in the first place. some of them may be annoyingly constrictive but so is life

I think it's a mixture of both. I think there are some which are okay but there are some which are definitely useless in the greater scheme of "testing songwriting ability" and there'll never be a point outside of the challenge where us contestants will think, "You know what, what if I applied that technique from that challenge to this song too? That'll really show my growth."

 

Maybe I've watched too many cooking shows, but it's all about... learning difficult techniques from professionals and finding ways to apply them to their own creation. You can write a song without a chorus in a challenge that doesn't mention whether you can or cannot have a chorus and it'll still work. But ain't nobody going to consciously omit a letter from their song, and ain't no judge going to be impressed by that decision.

 

I'm not trying to rekindle any arguments, I just think that while this challenge is far from a complete failure - testing limits can be a good thing - I think the 5 options could have been more even in terms of difficulty and long-term benefits to our songwriting. Just my humble O.

I stan for all of these tbh gkdsgb especially danganronpa 1 which is spot on. All of my faves and no one you missed.

 

Tho in DR2 I also stan for Sonia/Peko. Chiaki is the best though :weeps: 

 

I also stan for Monaca even though she's ****ED up because she's funny (particularly in DR3 I guess), Juzo (the poor gays being done wrong), and tbh idk if I ''stan'' Chisa but she's a very interesting character

:jonny2: I still haven't played DR2 or watched a playthrough ugh but just the basic story from like a 40 minutes summary video. Peko's execution was so touching :weeps:

:deadbanana3: Monaca is such a freak and after DR3, her death in DR1 is kinda funny. Juzo was cute but he annoyed me till he finally exposed his gay ass. loved his last moments. Chisa is dumb!!!!

also tea but if u stan junko despite what she did then u DEFINITELY cant BLAME chisa for what junko did :cupid: lets keep it real :cupid: 

:cupid: I expected so much more for Chisa and I get that she was a victim of so much but her presence/ absence did absolutely nothing till she got brainwashed (except allow Chiaki to be the beacon of hope for her class)

um she had so many touching moments with every student including hinata and was also extremely brave and courageous and cared so much for her missing student that she "died" (in the sense that the brainwash killed who she really was) to try and save him so back the **** off :cupid:

:cupid: I'm just being a little sh*t to her tbh but she went unchecked and caused EVERYTHING that happened in the future arc of DR3 and her dumbo man couldn't even see she was brainwashed when he supposedly loved her
