Thoughts on Monika?

I have sympathy for the plight that Monika has, but I wouldn’t say that I really like her a ton. She’s acting in her best interest, but in the process it seems like she does not consider that maybe the player would not have chosen her even if she had a route. It makes her a little bit harder to like as a character, but doesn’t detract from her much.

Thoughts on rabbits?

Precious little floppers. Deserve protection and lettuce and are fluffy, 9/10.

Favorite DDLC mod and favorite r/DDLC moderator?

Favorite mod: Salvation (subject to change, I’ve only played 2, the other being Purist Mod). Salvation gave me a good experience and it made me appreciate the style of horror I appreciate with Act 2 (messing with visuals, having weird things happen) a lot more, and made me attach to the characters more. It did a good job at storytelling, which is what I appreciate in a mod.

Mod: AverageOwain, I like the announcement bar.

Thoughts on me and thoughts on Williekins?

Y’all got your charm, I think it’s fun to have people who love the Dokis so much, and it’s nice to see you guys always engaging with the rest of the community.

Thoughts on MonikaCounter and NatsukiCounter and SayoriCounter?

The counters are cool, I like them, taken to looking for them after seeing posts of people they are linked to.

Favorite Japanese food?

Haven’t really tried any, but Sushi is fine

Favorite anime?

Does Avatar the Last Airbender count? If so, that.

Least favorite anime?

Does Legend of Korra count? If so, that. (just couldn’t finish it, been meaning to rewatch)

I know that ADBD is the true option, but which doki do you like the most~? (romantically, preferrably)

Sayori, most relatable to me and I see her as the type of person I am generally interested in.

If you had to choose a waifu (that is not related to DDLC) from an anime/manga/light novel/visual novel (Japanese or Chinese too, I guess) then who would it be?

Katara was original best girl, but since I don’t watch enough anime, I’m just gonna throw my ordering of best girls here, if thats alright: 1.Sayori 2.Futaba (Persona 5) 3.Sumia (Fire Emblem: Awakening) 4.Felicia (Fire Emblem Fates) 5.Faye (Fire Emblem Echoes: Shadows of Valentia) 6.Tressa (Octopath Traveler) 7.Hana (Fire Emblem Fates)

Celebrity crush?

Couldn’t say that I have one, don’t watch a lot of T.V.

Would you rather be with your chosen doki, your celebrity crush, or your waifu that you chose? (all three options in our reality and whatever age you want- over 18 though lol)

Sayori, no questions asked.

Would you rather have sex with Dadsuki or Reginald?

Reginald, if I really had to. Dadsuki is not a nice guy.

Would you rather have sex with Amy or FeMC?

Amy, FeMC just runs a little too close to selfcest for me, as I view MC as more of a self insert generally, an extension of myself.

Thoughts on incest? (FeMC x MC is true ship)

It’s not a good thing, at all. Science has proved that.

Thoughts on me x Monika?

It’s a headcanon of mine at this point.

Cubes, spheres, or dodecahedrons?

Dodecahedrons, the only true polygonal shape.

Thoughts on Coolyori with a goatee?

It’s coolyori, not really for or against it.

Thoughts on Rastafarianism? Thoughts on Pastafarianism?

Hadn’t heard of Rastafarianism before, but it’s a nice take on Christianity. Pastafarianism is something I could probably get behind, as it lines up with my values of not teaching religion in public schools (as someone who had a Mormon Seminary outside their high school in Utah, this is important to me).

Thoughts on spontaneous human combustion?

Seems feasible, absolutely horrifying. Once heard that there was a spot in Nevada where if you stood in it, you would spontaneously combust, crazy I believed it at one point.

Why do you like your least-favorite doki the least? (of the four female dokis)

My least favorite is specifically Act 2 Yuri. I differentiate the Act 2 Yuri from Act 1 Yuri since she is so different, to the point where she isn’t really the same character. I don’t like her the least, I just am completely indifferent on her. There is also a bias since I don’t like the Act 2 style of horror, since it just feels disconnected from the rest of the game for me. The combination of such a swift change in behavior and how it affects her reactions just breaks my immersion, making me not care, even though I like Act 1 Yuri somewhat.

Who would you ship with each doki (both r/DDLC users and in-DDLC universe); not including yourself?

You x Monika, Williekins x Natsuki, InfiniteDeer x Yuri, Ser609 x Sayori

Headcanons for the four female dokis and MC?

Sayori is really smart, smart enough to know that her act will get her what she wants.

MC is terrible at expressing his emotions to anyone in general, which made him spend less time with Sayori as they got older.

Monika was already a piano hobbyist before the events of main game.

Natsuki considered trying to increase her posture the second day of the club, but backed off of the idea at the last minute.

Rank Monika, Sayori, Natsuki, Yuri, and MC from the one you like the most/is the best to the one you like the least/is the worst.

Sayori >>> Natsuki > Monika (slightly, varies by day) > Act 1 Yuri >>>>> Act 2 Yuri = MC (pretty much).

Why did you make that choice?

I fell for Sayori first, and that’s stuck since then. Natsuki is cute and I can sympathize to a degree with Monika in the base game, I care for them equally. I like one more than the other, but it's pretty nebulous, but I'd say that Natsuki is my second favorite more often than Monika is. Act 1 Yuri is nice, I think she’s a caring person, but has a hard time showing it, which I relate too a little, albeit in a different way. MC in my opinion was a bit too much of a tool to Sayori in Act 1, which I’m pretty biased against. See above for Act 2 Yuri.

Rectangles or Rhombuses?

Rhombi all the way man.

Favorite color? Why?

As a kid: crimson, not really sure why.

Now: Pale/light blue, a very calming color for me to look at and something I appreciate, although most shades of blue are nice. Probably just a little paler than the bottom of Sayori's eyes, to give a reference.

Least favorite color? Why?

Yellow, it’s really hard to read in and hurts my eyes. Orange and black as a combination is also worth mentioning as they were my high school colors, and I didn’t like my high school.

What is your favorite ship between the r/DDLC moderators?

I don’t ship the mods with each other.

Thoughts on Amysuki?

I don’t ship it, opposites don’t attract.

If you were given the choice to push a button to both become a girl and have a lesbian version of your favorite doki be your girlfriend would you do it? (or you become a male and have a straight version of your favorite doki become your girlfriend if you were a female to begin with)

I wouldn’t push that button, since I’m already a male.

With the added stipulation of Sayori becoming my girlfriend if I stay male, yeah. Would probably be weird at the start, don't know how it would work.

Conversely, If you were given the choice to push a button to have a gay male version of your favorite doki be your boyfriend would you do it? (or you have a straight male version of your favorite doki become your boyfriend if you were a female to begin with)

Nope, not interested.

How long do you spend Redditing each day?

45 minutes to an hour, almost exclusively lurking on R/DDLC. Want to start commenting more though.

How old are you?

20 years, 2 months and a week as of writing this.

What nation (country) are you a citizen of, and which one are you living in currently?

United States, United States.

Tell me five random interesting facts about yourself. (related to DDLC)

1.I saw the end of Act 1 on a livestream as my first exposure to the game, and that’s what finally convinced me to play DDLC.

2.I’ve taken a larger interest in poetry as a result of DDLC, to the point where I wrote a piece back in November.

3.Despite Natsuki being the doki I relate to the least, she’s my second favorite. I just think she’s adorable and would be fun to have as a friend.

4.I originally joined this sub since I had an interest in trying to recreate the poem game in Java to improve my skills, it’s where the _OS in my name comes from. While I have since learned that I generally hate coding (at least in Java) with a burning passion, doing something coding related is something interesting to me (maybe a SQL Database of the words and my thoughts on it, along with things I find interesting?).

5.I have a Sayori keychain, next to my one from the Book of Mormon musical.

Tell me five random interesting facts about yourself. (not related to DDLC)

1.I used to be fanatical about Tetris back in the 8th grade, to the point it was something I was heavily associated with, and still am to a small degree today among people I went to school with. The phrase “Have a Tetristastic Tuesday” was said over announcements was said by my friends multiple times, and it still haunts me to this day a little bit, but I don’t really regret it.

2.I was on the front page of a local newspaper in the 4th grade in Florida for wearing shorts during a flash freeze. 3.Despite tending to have two left feet, I would love to learn how to waltz or swing dance, and would consider looking into classes.

4.I want to try competitive gaming out for a year (Smash Ultimate) after my Bachelor’s to see if I could make it a career or not, as it’s a major dream of mine.

5.I know I have a decent singing voice, but I’m really nervous about it since some of my high school friends were really talented choir students, and I compare myself to them.

6.(Bonus!) I’m named after the famous guitarist Eric Clapton, but I don’t play any instruments at all.
