HOLY SHIT

IT HAS BEEN DONE

“Mai Akasaki. The 17th student lying hidden somewhere within this hotel. The one they call the Ultimate Despair. Watch out for her.”

Do you wanna lose all this and go back to the DRDT hiatus where we had NOTHING

FOR THE DRDT DEVS

TO Y'ALL!! (spoilers ahead for those who haven't watched)

Thank you so, so much for creating the best fangan ever (and yes I'm saying it again I love this project so much!!) I got into it around 2 years ago while scrolling through the fangan Wiki page. Here's what I love about this project!

THE CAST!!

I fell in love with the cast (Teruko especially) so fast it ain't funny. They're all scream band kid energy and as a band kid, I could really vibe with all their goofy moments. I also related to all the not-so-goofy moments with the cast. It's intruiging to see how all of them handle trauma and hardship differently. Love this cast.

THE PLOT!!

Oh my goshhhh this plot is probably the best I've ever seen. Chapter 1's daily life was chock full of goofy, interesting, and wholesome moments that I keep coming back to. Deadly life though??? DAMN. I don't think I've ever watched something, paused in complete and utter shock, rewound it, and watched it again (and kept coming back.) Awesome plot (and I have so many more adjectives to describe this plot but I can't write them all here.)

THE SHOCK FACTOR!!

This probably goes in the plot category, but the amount of shocking things that happened is crazyyyy. I jumped out of my chair when Teruko pulled that knife on Charles in episode 3. Absolutely nothing else in media has shocked me that much. And that's not even the only moment. So many things have shocked me in this fangan. Thank you for keeping us on our toes.

THE REALISM!!

Arguably the most important part of a fangan, achieved beautifully!! Words can't describe how well this is done, thank you so much.

THE ART!!

I absolutely adore all of the character designs and the awesome CGs!! This is the first fangan I've seen that has animated CGs, and they're all awesome (Teruko running from MonoTV will forever crack me up). Absolutely stunning work!

Once again, thank you DRDT devs and everyone else involved for your dedication and hard work into making this happen!!

no but why is elliot so slay

IT FITS SO WELLLL

since I’m back now, here’s a quick piece I made!

[I.D. A drawing by a fucking dumbass of Veronika Grebenshchikova from Danganronpa: Despair Time dressed as Niffty from Hazbin Hotel. This drawing took 42 minutes and it looks terrible]

TERUKO CALLING ANIMAL CONTROL IS GOLDEN

who woulge?"floor cake" it is catboy david

i mentioned in this post that david seems to hate teruko for no reason at all. now that i think about it, i'm not really sure how david feels about teruko, so......

OKAY THEORY TIME :D

Chapter 1 and 2 spoilers

I've been reminded of the vote for the first trial again (thanks Weeby Newz). If you don't remember the results, 13 people voted for Min as the culprit and 2 people voted for Teruko. But, who voted for Teruko? I'm late to the party, but I'm 95% sure the two people who did so are:

David

This one is purely circumstantial, but I really think David voted for Teruko out of spite. He was the main one refuting Teruko's claims during the trial, for no good reason at all. I guess David seems to hate Teruko just for existing.

This is especially prevalent with these quotes from episode 8, when David defends Xander, when it's so obvious that Teruko isn't the murderer.

I'm gonna rant for a second (you can skip this if you want).

David was SOOOO dumb in this trial. Like dude, Xander is DEAD, why are you defending him? There's no fucking way that Teruko killed Xander when XANDER is the one who stabbed her. Now that I think about it, it kind of reminds me of when Makoto defended Sayaka in Danganronpa 1, despite the fact that Sayaka framed him for murder. Even in that case, there wasn't a whole lot of evidence that didn't point to Makoto.

Anyway, moving on.

2. Teruko

Yeah, I think Teruko voted for herself. I suspected it for a while, but this quote from episode 12 sealed the deal.

Specifically the quote "You voted her as the blackened too, didn't you?" tells me that she's pointing fingers at everyone else, blaming them for something she didn't do, which is vote for Min. It also tells me that Teruko blames herself for Min's death.

I find it interesting that in this context, Teruko doesn't blame Xander for Min's death, since he's the one who tried to kill in the first place.

Thanks for coming to my TED talk :)

unfortunately, this is painfully accurate.

The Fanbase When Watching DRDT 2-16

One half of the Ace Fans: (upset their fave is about to die) Oh my god, nobody wants to watch this stupid series!

Everyone else: Quiet!

The other half of the Ace Fans: LOOK! IF YOU DON'T LIKE IT, YOU CAN LEAVE! WE ARE NOT DOING THIS AGAIN!

The first half: Okay, but-

Ace: (about to punch MonoTV)

First Half: YOHO! GYAAAAAATT!

Other Half: NO!!

First Half: That's an Ace Mar-Gyatt right there!

Other Half: GET! OUT!!!! YOU'RE BEING INAPPROPRIATE!!!

First Half: B-But no, I changed my mind! I GYATT to see the ending of this chapter!

Other Half: SHUT!!!! UP!!!!

This right here. Some of you really need to touch grass.

Peg has made this fandom so rude oh my god. As a fangan creator I'm fine getting criticism, I've always gotten it and I accept that's just a part of putting content out but since Peg came out every bit of criticism is so much more nitpicky and so much more rude. It's genuinely so disheartening. What especially frustrates me is people making incredibly rude comments to VAs and their voice performances when they're literally working for free and incredibly talented. I've been in the fandom for years but this level of scrutiny and entitlement from fans and overall just being cruel is something I've only recently just been seeing. I just think the treatment of VAs is unacceptable and I wish I could say it publically but I know if I do i'll be accused of being 'unable to take criticism'. So please just be nicer to smaller projects and VAs.
