PROJECT EDEN'S GARDEN SPOILERS!

Chapter 1 spoilers

Theory concerning wolfgang's whole deal

Okay so like. His mom's mega dead, right?

"Whoa! Back up! Where the fuck did you get that from?"

Alright sit down, lemme show you something.

Remember the prolouge?

I sure didn't! So I rewatched it!

Take a look.

Wolfgang freaked out over Wenona claiming that Cara was the aggressor, implying her murder was justifiable.

At the time, Damon along with all of us just assumed he was being a lawyer about it and had put himself on the side of the injured party. But I don't think it was that simple.

I think he was having an episode. The only evidence for this in the prologue itself is the in-game acknowledgment that Wolfgang's arguments had shifted to being based on emotion alone. It's literally used for a tutorial!

And he says himself in his FTEs that he doesn't normally conduct himself that way in an actual courtroom. So his freak out wasn't his standard, but he doesn't give a straight answer for why he acted how he did.

But chapter 1 as a whole gave us what was necessary to start connecting some dots.

Have a look.

The blackmail Damon got. The photo of Wolfgang's parents.

Look at his mom.

Now look at Cara.

By no means are they identical, wolfgang's mother has a mole on her face, which Cara lacks, but I want you to note the hair and eye color specifically. Keep it in mind.

Now let's look at the back of the card.

"Like father, like son"

"Beneath a sheep's skin hides a wolfish mind"

The game sorta hands you a part of this. Wolfgang's father did something bad. Something that, allegedly, Wolfgang either has repeated or simply had the capacity to do himself eventually.

So what did Wolfgang's father do?

That much isn't told to us, but from Wolfgang's hallucination induced meltdown, I have an idea.

I think wolfgang's father killed his mother.

Let's get into it.

Starting with his hallucinatory episode.

When Wolfgang initially sees Diana, I think he sees his mother. The way he talks. The way he apologizes to her and calls himself a failure for not being like her. We learn in his FTEs that his mother is the only other lawyer in the family and his sole reason for becoming one himself.

However, when Diana walks over and takes his hand, he switches and becomes angry and violent. Going as far as to attack her with a knife.

I think, when Diana grabbed his hand, either something she said or something she did caused the hallucination to switch from a vision of his mother to the vision of his father.

Suddenly he's no longer sad when he says he's not like the person he thinks he's speaking to. Suddenly he's smiling at the fact he's "not like them." Because he's talking to his father now.

He wants to be like his mother and never wants to be like his father.

The line "bring her back" implies that his father, the person he was hallucinating in Diana's place, took his mother away from him.

And the reason I think that's it, relates back to his smaller scale meltdown during the test trial.

Wolfgang started talking about how it was inexcusable to kill a woman.

Though that could be chalked up to chivalry or what have you, I think there's a much more personal reason as to why he felt so strongly about it.

Because his father's actions were inexcusable.

They weren't self defense.

And witnessing a dead woman who bares resemblance to his late mother be accused of deserving it may have struck a nerve.

The killer for the mock trial had no identity given, making it all the easier for Wolfgang to project his father, or a man like him, onto that blank stand in.

I can paint a scene

Wolfgang in the courtroom as a child, maybe even a witness to the murder, watching as the defense lawyer for his father makes every excuse in the book for him. Claiming that his mother was the aggressor, that she had a weapon, that his father had no choice but to "defend himself" from her attacks.

While, in reality, Wolfgang had seen a very different situation play out. Whether he spoke up and was dismissed for being "too young" or was unable to properly testify due to the traumatic experience that is simply being in a courtroom at all, he was unable to bring his father to justice.

He was unable to do right by his mother.

I think that'd be a pretty good motivator to practically race into law school as a teenager. To become the ultimate lawyer at 22 years old. So he could make up for his previous failures.

I think Wolfgang has been carrying a heavy burden from a very young age. And to return to the "like father like son" comment, I'm willing to call that a misdirection. I think when Wolfgang is implied to have "a wolfish mind beneath sheep's skin" or " being a wolf in sheep's clothing," the actual truth is that he's a deeply emotionally scarred person who has no choice but to force a facade of stability and confidence to push though it all for the sake of those around him and his goals. Basically, he's masking.

So, technically, just like his father, Wolfgang is a mentally troubled man pretending to be okay. And the kidnappers used that misdirection to imply he had sinister intention for pretending just like his father had pretended to be a man his mother could trust. When in reality, their motivations could not be any more different.

Or maybe I'm just being silly. Teehee! 🧡

And a small side note. The word "wolfish" implies intentions other than violence.

Lust, hunger, and greed mostly. Though, I'm willing to sidestep those options cuz Tozu is absolutely the kind of bitch to reword a common phrase to make it sound more flowery only to unintentionally imply some nasty shit.

Wolfgang gives no tells towards being a creep. Not a single Freudian slip left that man's mouth. Not even in FTEs. Grace would have been the killer for chapter 1 if he was like that. They literally shared a bed. And, despite their cute dynamic, if the two had actually done anything canonically, we'd get more obvious tells in the game. Those walls were shown to be pretty damn thin...

There's a bit more under the hood of this theory, but this post is big enough, and all other supporting information requires enough explanation and red string to justify their own posts.

So stay tuned for:

• Further theorizing about wolfgang

• And the possible parallels between wolfgang's hallucinatory episode and Eva's execution

spoilers but this is all I could think of in the latter half of that trial

okay guys can we talk abt the pieces of damon lore dropped in some of the fte’s🤔 loooong conjectural yap session incoming

he gets pretty secretive about his home life if pressed further, but it’s clear that his parents struggled with paying the bills until he started raking in prize money from competitions. i think this little detail can

explain a lot abt his character. for one, his obsession with studying and burying himself into improving his talent. as a kid, it’s possible he placed pressure on himself to pull his weight (his relationship with his parents is evidently affectionate, so i don’t think they forced him into this), so he made sure to excel in school and eventually debate club not only for respect, but to secure the ideal future for himself and his parents. he may have known going into it that competitions had prize money on the line, and the club had the additional benefit of beefing up his college apps. getting into edens garden academy must’ve been a dream come true for the whole family, it’s likely he idolized the school growing up as a symbol of true success and prosperity (hence his bio mentioning there was never a doubt in his mind that he was destined to be the ultimate debater. an ultimate in his eyes was the best thing a young person could be)

another thought, his financial situation could be attributed to a number of things, but if it was due to his parents struggling to keep jobs, it would make sense why damon is so dead-set on defining people (including himself) based on the utility of their skills. he’s seen firsthand how cutthroat the job market can be, so upon initial meeting he either views his peers as inferior due to their less practical talents or as competition he refuses to back down to. he is obsessed with comparing himself to others! in his mind, people are their resume.

also, i wonder if the reason damon is described to be argumentative from an early age in his bio was due to teasing from other kids for being less well off? or possibly getting into spats with his parents under the stress? spats with extended family or other adults who ridiculed his parents? spats with a shitty landlord??? pure speculation, but these underdog scenarios would really showcase his desire to be respected

in a world so uncertain, damon’s tongue is his sharpest weapon and tool, and as such, he holds his talent in high regard as the sole definer of his identity.

Actually I looked closer at the photo and at Wolfgang because something felt off to me, the man in the photo and Wolfgang don’t have the same eye color and Wolfgang has a mole under his mouth. But the woman in the photo has both Wolfgang’s eye color and the mole in the same spot. Plus Wolfgang doesn’t wear a wedding ring and he feels like the type of person who would do that.

I think that’s ACTUALLY his PARENTS’ wedding photo since Wolfgang shared features from both of them.

I still gotta go through this myself but the man in the picture looked off compared to Wolfgang

Spoilers for P:EG

WOLFGANG'S MARRIED!?!?

[mono-alcreamie]

This is single handedly the funniest Pokemon clip of all time.

**The Pokémon company, sitting at a round table reviewing the episode before it airs:**

“You know what, fuck it. I don’t give a shit anymore.”

[mono-alcreamie]

I've been laughing so hard at the N and Arven event in Pokemon Masters since it came out 😭😭

THE OMINOUS MUSIC WHEN N WALKED OUT. THE WAY IT PLAYED HIS THEME AS HE CHASED AFTER HIM. I'M SOBBING.

Then the part immediately afterwards where N chased Arven all around Pasio 😭😭

"I think this is far enough..."

"Will you talk to.me about your cooking now, Arven?"

"WAUGH????"

This event really shows how N, as stated in B2W2, understands the hearts of Pokemon but not the hearts of people 😭😭

It's okay though they're friends now 🥰🥰

Two of my favorite characters are somewhat canonically best friends now 🥹🥹

anya should kill jimmy this anya should abort that well i personally think she should do this

[mono-alcreamie]

I am so certain that if Ryoma was designed to look “normal” he would’ve survived.

hey, use this

[mono-alcreamie]

Does anyone know where I can find any of the sprites for the Nu: Carnival characters? I looked it up on Google but the only link I found on Reddit was deleted.

[mono-alcreamie]

I cant leave you guys hanging ;-;

I gotta remember I can post here, too.

Anyways...

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO THE SILLIEST BOY!!!!!!

WOLFGANG AKIRE!!!!

Yeah sorry guys, this character has like melted into my brain. He single handedly got me out of animators limbo (aka me not finishing animations for like an entire year), so he actually means a lot to me! I hope you guys enjoy this animation I made of him!

[mono-alcreamie]

Wdym Noiz's coldness towards Aoba was described as him being an emotionless machine? Wdym Clear and Noiz's names compliment each other the same way static and void does? Wdym Clear's scrap was a void of clouds and light whilst Noiz's was darkness and static? Wdym Clear is so persistent when it comes to befriending the others because he's lonely and he's been alone ever since he watched his grandfather die? Wdym Noiz is so lonely but was raised to take care of himself so he stopped relying on other people to help him? Wdym both Noiz and Clear are just different reactions to/different results of the trauma of neglect and loneliness?

Wdym Noiz is associated with rabbits because they die of loneliness and wdym one of the reasons Clear is so similar to jellyfish is because jellyfish have been around for over 600 million years and are essentially immortal thus they both share the loneliness of immortality? Wdym both rabbits and jellyfish symbolize sensitivity? Wdym Noiz described his condition as his skin being covered by a thick black sheet of numbness and wdym that's how Clear described himsef feeling once he was reprogrammed in his bad ending?

Wdym Noiz's only friend was technology whilst being locked away from his family in his room for years, all alone? And wdym Clear's first introduction to humanity was the harsh reality that all humans, like his grandfather, would die and he'd be left in the world, all alone? Wdym Noiz as a mummy and Clear as Frankenstein incorporates directly into their ship? Wdym Aoba compared them both to birds, animals usually associated with freedom, something that Clear and Noiz never really had?

Wdym Noiz and Clear are the most beautifully written non-canon canon ship between the DRAMAtical Murder love interests I have ever seen?

[mono-alcreamie]

Original sound by Rg33....anyways, considering Noiz is German, I don't doubt he's been drinking beer since the age of like 12.

WHAT ARE YUKARI AND AKIRA DOING HOLY SHIT—

Uploading this part of Miracle Universe so I can rewatch it without having it on my camera roll

[mono-alcreamie]

Skully: "Then are you saying I should just shut up and continue believing? Even amidst something that completely goes against my ideals, should I just blindly follow along like a fool?"

Sebek: "I didn't say that, you utter dimwit!"

Sebek: "Even if... Even if it were to happen that Malleus-sama does something that completely goes against my ideals..."

Sebek: "Even if he does something that I could never approve of! Even if the day comes when we stray from different paths!"

"I WILL DEFINITELY, ACCEPT HIM!"

"BECAUSE THAT IS ALSO PART OF WHO HE IS!"

Sebek: "I will not be like you, who turns his back the very moment the disappointment of unmet expectations creeps in."

Sebek: "Disagreeing with someone and continuing to love them nevertheless are not mutually exclusive."

OMG! Wise words from Sebek! This is SO GOOD and is a lesson that everyone should know. Sebek appreciates Malleus for who he is, and accepts that Malleus is also a person so change is something that comes naturally to him. The Malleus ten years from now, a hundred years from now will not be the same Malleus that he knows. But that doesn't mean that he can't grow to love that Malleus too, even if he grows into a person he no longer shares his ideals with.

I’m going guess the context of the ones i don’t know:

Niki saw a shark and was like ‘oooo yummy I wanna eat it I’m hungy’ and Nazuna was like ‘NOOOOOOO’

Hokuto’s probably and acting thing or he became an assassin

Leo was cold and was like ‘Adooooniiiis I’m cooooold,,, I’m going in ur jacket’

Enstars cards that make me go "what is the fucking context here???"

I know the context to this one but it's too funny not to put

[mono-alcreamie]

This is the funniest and cutest concept for a cure team I’ve ever seen. I love these guys. Cure Sashimi and Cure Tamago are my favorites /pos

@aceaeite bullied me (politely) for months into designing these after the concept showed up on a very old backlog lmfao Sushi Ninja Cures Real
