Teruko Pose Goes Hard

Black representation

Just wanna mention this.

As a Black person myself, it's great to see characters like Eden and Rose (though Eden is blasian.) Black characters in media are sometimes not represented well (as in they perpetuate stereotypes) but that's not the case with Eden and Rose.

Eden specifically is the sweet, nice, more docile character (though it's established that she's more than that) but that's a rarity to see Black characters in that way.

Rose being the ultra smart but innattentive character is also not something I see in Black characters often.

I love both of them partially because I can relate to them, as a nerdy Black girl myself. My point is that both Rose and Eden break stereotypes of what Black characters can be. I'm not sure if the dev intended on this, but thank you regardless.

Speaking of Black characters in fangans and diversity in fangans in general, I'd like to see a little more (racial) diversity in fangans in general. I'm not saying every fangan should be this way, but I'd just like to see more of it.

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.

damon is diabolical enough (in the best way) to do that shit too

Damon says worst take known to man

it's okay! fangans take time. good luck, and take your time!!

Well, it's been a year since the last episode came out, and the rest of ch2 still isn't done. I am well aware that this is the case so there is no need to remind me.

Working on ch2p2 is very difficult and tiring, and it is more time-consuming than usual. So it seems it will take a long time. I will not go into reasons as to why this is the case. I rewrote this post many times trying to express my feelings or explain the reasons things are taking this long, but it seems like it always comes out as sounding really miserable. So instead, I'm just going to say nothing about the matter and move on.

It would be nice to post some preview of ch2p2, but it would either be spoilers, or it would be so generic to avoid spoiling anything that it kind of looks indistinguishable from the first half of the trial. It feels pointless. That is why, for the time being, it's possible I might be posting a lot more about things unrelated to ch2p2, like my other Fangan. This is just because I feel compelled to make a post once a month, yet I am running out of things I can say or show about DRDT.

I can make no promises about the release date of ch2p2 at this time. But I promise that it will be done one day. No matter how painful it becomes or how many difficulties I face, I want to see it through to the end. It might take a long time, but I can't give up. So please put your faith in me.

As always, thank you everyone for the support you've given me.

Some addition things that are of no concern to the casual viewer ↓

There is a lot of discussion about the "progress bar" and sometimes I receive questions about it, so I will talk about it for a bit.

Yes, I update it frequently. But it reflects "time left in the story before completion", not "time left in real life before completion."

Basically, it poorly accounts for things that take a long time to make, like the argument armament, the closing argument, the execution. For example, it's lucky if I can sketch out a single panel of the closing argument per day, but once it's all finished it will only look like a few percentage points increased. Even if it's at 90% I feel like there would still be a long time before things were finished.

As they say, "the final uphill stretch is the hardest of all"... Or something like that................

Okay tiny theory

spoilers (obvi)

We've noticed so far that David seems to remember Xander, despite the memory wipe.

...which most of the cast kinda glazes over (at least the fandom catches this)

But do you remember who else remembers stuff from the past, despite the memory wipe?

....if you guessed Teruko, you'd be correct :)

Similar to how David remembers Xander, Teruko remembers that there were killing games happening during The Tragedy and not just mass murder.

Here's my theory: Each cast member has a specific detail that wasn't wiped from their memories.

This is probably not true, but it's just a thought.

HOLY SHIT

spoilers

-Teruko and Levi almost dying (again) was NOT on my 2024 bingo card

-Who voted for Teruko?????

-GO ACE!! TELL ARTURO!! HE CAN DO IT!!

-Ace dying of cardiac arrest is super ironic to me.

-Teruko is learning her lesson, thank goodness. Character development>>>>

Craziest post-trial ever. AND THIS IS CHAPTER 2!!! I don't even know what could happen now.

RIP Ace, you will be missed.

Okay um...... three questions because I've been thinking about this for like 30 minutes now.

Why are Teruko and Xander the only two cast members whose custom weapons are actual weapons, rather than objects that can be used as weapons? And the fact that their weapons are (kinda) opposite of each other is also interesting.

Why is Xander the only cast member with a fake weapon? Does that indicate that he's the traitor?

I feel like these things are important but I'm not sure why.

you can do it pookie!

I don't think I've ever showed this to you guys

TIERLIST TIIIIMMEEE!!!!

Okay so here are some tierlists from my favorite fangans :)

I'll label which fangan they're from below the tierlist.

Danganronpa Despair Time

Project: Eden's Garden

Tetro Danganronpa Pink

If you haven't checked out all three of these fangans, please do! Both Despair Time and Tetro DR Pink are on YouTube, and there are walkthroughs of Project: Eden's Garden on YouTube, or you can download the game on itch.io.

These were fun :)

this is especially for all y'all eden culprit truthers that still aren't convinced that ace is the culprit
