Standing By This

this should be canon

I don't know what I expected from the DRDT for Christmas this year, probably just some casual Christmas art. But not this:

I definitely love it though, it's such a fun and silly way to share the Christmas spirit ‪‪❤︎‬‪‪❤︎‬‪‪❤︎‬

I HATE DAVID CHIEM

AHHHH SHE'S SO CUTEEEEE

AWWW LOOK AT THE BABI TERUKO SCRUNKLY

THE TEDDY WAS HER PRESENT ON CHRISTMAS AWWWGPUWCWOUVAPUBSU0BSU9WV AND ALSO

Terubro!!!

facts fr. poor teruko bebe

It fucking breaks my heart how Teruko's whole breakdown in Chapter 1 was not caused by Xander's death, it wasn't even caused by everyone beginning to accuse her. Those may have been contributors, but not the actual reason The straw that broke the camel's back, the thing that caused her to finally break, was the fact that everyone in the cast was more than willing to execute her to save their own lives. She even explicitly says this at the end of CH1-12

Teruko: I'm done with you all. I'm done pretending to be "friends" with everyone here. Teruko: Every single one of you was perfectly willing to vote me to my death. I'm the one who steered the trial in the right direction.

And the reason this pains me so much is that it shows to me that even after Xander deceived her, plunging a knife into her stomach, she still tried to trust her classmates. Further evidenced by the fact that she had very little qualms with Min helping her during the investigation

Min: You have me to help you out. If you want, I can tell you what I found when I was investigating. Teruko: Thank you for helping, but I think it's best that I see everything with my own eyes.

If she had decided since Xander stabbed her that putting her trust in the cast was useless, she could've just shoved Min away like she does with basically every character in Chapter 2. But she didn't, she allows Min to help her. She so, so fucking badly wanted to continue putting her trust in everyone. Xander might've been a backstabbing piece of shit (from her perspective), but she still held onto the glimmering hope she was shown before it all became tainted

Teruko: This is pretty nice. Eden: Of course it is. We made this cake, and everyone likes it! Teruko: No, I mean what we're doing right now. It's nice. Teruko: Even though... Even though we're all worried about that motive announcement tomorrow, we can still eat together and talk about dumb things. Teruko: It's nice, having friends.

These people were her friends. Even when they accuse her of murder, they're still her friends. Surely they'll believe her when she says they didn't do it... Right?

Hu: I'm truly sorry, Teruko. I know that you're upset for having been caught, but we have to do this. If we don't vote who the blackened is we'll all die.

But as anticipated, nothing ever goes right for Teruko Tawaki. The people she thought she could finally trust are the same people admitting to her face that they are more than willing to sacrifice her to escape their own demise. Gone was the glimmer of hope that Teruko Tawaki could live a normal life with normal friends. She now knew the long-suppressed truth.

Teruko: Xander pretended to be my friend, and then betrayed me to try and end my life. You all are the same.

Eden's Garden hot take

spoilers for chapter 1

I love Eva so, so much, but she deserved ALL that smoke (pun unintended). She claims she was forced to kill, but in reality, she set herself up. Also, not only did she kill Wolfgang, but she drugged him (which caused him to hallucinate) and made Diana watch him suffer/die. She also manipulated Damon into thinking that Wolfgang had it out for them, when in reality, he was just wary of them both, which was justified.

Yeah I love Wolfgang and I'm still salty about his death. I love Eva too, but girl you did NOT deserve to live after what you did.

Anyway, hats off to the Project: Eden's Garden team for an excellent chapter 1. Dare I say 10/10.

I love this headcanon so much

i hc that wolfgang uses outdated slang in the least appropriate situations. in a business meeting and something goes well? "cool beans!" someone's grandma just died? "...well that's not very cash money..." he's trying to keep up with the youth or something. also he's a 43 year old in disguise /j
