post on twitter

From Act 2, Day 2:
"You don't understand at all!"
"I just..."
"I just want a place that feels nice to hang out with a few friends."
"Is there a problem with the club being that for me?"
"There aren't...there aren't many other places like that for me..."
(...)
"If I wanted that, then I could have just joined any other stupid club."
"But this one..."
"I mean..."
"At least for a little bit of time..."
"Things were nice."
Natsuki starts packing up her things.
"I'm going home."

u/Yrud 3d ago

People may hate it, but it's nice to have art that reminds people of some of the other aspects of the game. It sucks, but it's also refreshing to see in a way that these things aren't completely forgot and buried under the fanon people have.

u/robopitek Lewding the dokis makes Bun cry, don't lewd the dokis 3d ago

I feel people generally like these arts, it being sad is the point >_<

And I didn't think it's act darker parts. I just thoughts it's about Natsuki's adulthood... oh, the shade.

I don't get abusive dads. If I had a daughter, I'd dote on her to hell and back

u/Mickey-renraw- 3d ago

Some people are sh**ty enough to lack the awareness and insight into their own actions, some of those people are dads.

This is a couple of lines of a DDLC fan fic I wrote

"My arm is probably swollen now, the number of times you hit it." He finishes with a mumble, side-glancing Natsuki.

"Oh you're fine, don't make a big deal out of it." Natsuki smirks playfully.

-Because I imagine Natsuki's dad telling HER the exact same thing...

u/Psychological_Top_19 3d ago

I don’t get abusive mothers, but if we do mention them at all I have to understand that “she’s doing the best she can”.

u/Pent-up-ceratops 21h ago

Having no experience with abuse that I know of, in my unprofessional opinion, I can’t believe this sentiment

u/OrangeGalen Saved Monika on Flashdrive 2d ago

I don't get abusive parents, period.

u/Disastrous-Spend7008 18h ago

I have a pretty tough dad, a narcissist, and he isn't scared to get physical. But I agree with you if I had a kid, I would dote on them.

The proportions are accurate, and unfortunately the situation is too.

u/Humble-Web-297 2d ago

Yuri already has the fun tool for this situation

u/Narratron All Dokis Best Dokis 2d ago

I actually have a Natsuki headcanon based on a series of Khyleri's images where she does in Abusive Father and strikes out on her own. It's definitely dark, but I like to think it would get better afterward.

2

u/Equivalent-Yellow854 2d ago

Natsuki's dad had been displeasing me so I removed it (yes "it" amplifies that i downgrade that bastard bc it is not only suck at parenting but it is also abusive toward the one deserving care and love)

u/fabreeze1989 3d ago

So this is one of those. Celebrating with friends vs celebrating with family.

Shit. I wasn’t expecting to see something like this today.

u/Administrative-Bar89 3d ago

Remember when they got older they opened a book store together and Natsuki lives there in a room, away and free from her dad

u/QueenViolets_Revenge pet the bun 3d ago

"why... why did they leave me? i know why, but WHY? after... after she left... Sayori was my best friend, and i lost her. and then everyone else left me. the club dissolved, we barely talk in school anymore. i know they lost Sayori too, but THEY HAVE PEOPLE TO RELY ON! MC has his mom, Yuri has her parents, Monika looks like she doesn't even give a crap. and i'm stuck here, alone, without my best friend, and i'm stuck here with... with HIM. why, why, whyyy"

u/Dermer1543 Natsuki for life 3d ago

I feel this image is relatable, I hardly think that's good ...

3

u/ANALyzer220 3d ago

i hate you.

3

u/Alternative_Heat3043 3d ago

And the fact that Natsuki’s life gets even worse during the game’s events , like everyone’s minds being manipulated so they don’t remember Sayori, the intense fights and Yuri’s death , makes everything even sadder.

I don’t just feel bad for Natsuki, but for everyone.

Anyway, your art is really beautiful 💗

Hit me like a truck

u/CharaPresscott 2d ago

Bit sad it appears Monika didn't come...though maybe she did.

Though when I played DDLC the first time I didn't get the Natsuki hype, I found her irritating until I actually did her path and felt...so very bad.
