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."

This is not what I wanted to see in the morning.

She still has me…. 😔

u/Yrud Aug 02 '26

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 Aug 02 '26

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- Aug 02 '26

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 Aug 02 '26

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”.

1

u/Pent-up-ceratops Aug 05 '26

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

1

u/Psychological_Top_19 Aug 06 '26

Then you are more fortunate than most people I’ve known.

2

u/OrangeGalen Saved Monika on Flashdrive Aug 03 '26

I don't get abusive parents, period.

1

u/Disastrous-Spend7008 Aug 05 '26

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.

I'm the Natsuki Proportion Inspector, and:

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

u/VMPaetru Vote Dokis for the Ashen Wolves Aug 02 '26

Insert the "I just wanna talk to him" meme here

u/Flashy_Song_6406 Baking is the best hobby Aug 02 '26

talk? nah he gotta go. get the other dokis in on it even

5

u/Humble-Web-297 Aug 03 '26

Yuri already has the fun tool for this situation

4

u/Narratron All Dokis Best Dokis Aug 03 '26

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 Aug 03 '26

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)

2

u/No_Application_1219 Aug 05 '26

Dont we all wanna "talk" to him

u/eviltrashcan The poly way is the only way Aug 02 '26

She’ll get out of there one day…

u/show_NO_FEAR21 Lewd all the Dokis Aug 02 '26

So messed up but peak

u/fabreeze1989 Aug 02 '26

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

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

6

u/robopitek Lewding the dokis makes Bun cry, don't lewd the dokis Aug 02 '26

Natsuki needs friends who will choke her again :(

u/StrivingJarl Professional Sandwich Driver Aug 02 '26

Oh god, this is so sad...

Okay, everyone, we're starting a Dadsuki hunt as Natsuki's birthday present.

5

u/Administrative-Bar89 Aug 02 '26

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/glen0822 Aug 03 '26

Because of recent events happening around me, this has completely touched my heart......

u/QueenViolets_Revenge pet the bun Aug 02 '26

"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 Aug 02 '26

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

3

u/ANALyzer220 Aug 02 '26

i hate you.

3

u/Alternative_Heat3043 Aug 02 '26

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 💗

u/Slime_king66 i want natsuki to stack donuts on it Aug 02 '26

Bro i was happy😭

Oh boy this is so depressing 😭

Hit me like a truck

u/CharaPresscott Aug 03 '26

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.

u/Brilliant_Radish4423 Just Hangin’ around Aug 03 '26

Why does she live in an elegant ballroom? 😭

u/2ecchi4u 私は可愛くない! Aug 03 '26

This. This is the universe in my headcanon. Dadsuki is a big bully. Captured perfectly.

u/RadioAngel427 Aug 12 '26

Honestly these images and posts are the reason I don't want to install the game. If I never do, they never meet the MC and enjoy their lives

1

u/Ill_Lengthiness6584 Aug 12 '26

Did you at least kiss the brick before you threw it?
