does anyone remember when team salvato had that “for fans by fans” fanart merch contest, but like it had a backstory that monika “wasn’t allowed to participate” cause “she always wins and it would be unfair :(” but like all images of her and mentions of her name were glitched out, and in the background of the promo art there was a piece of paper with her poem “Hole in Wall” mostly erased (and not even in her font asset, just in the neutral/MC handwriting font) so all signs pointed to monika’s file being deleted

but then literally none of that was ever directly acknowledged in the posts or the merch for the contest, or in ddlc+ lore, or on other posts from team salvato’s twitter or monika’s twitter account? so, though it probably wasn’t intended to be lore to begin with, we never got any context for it, even within the constraints of the “backstory” for this specific contest?

…no? just me? ok.

#ddlc #original post #silly post but this is one of the ddlc things that lives in my head rent free #that and the anniversary stream from the same year with the fanmade mod #i forgot what it was called #brain blanking #i miss back in 2020 when team Salvato was trying to generate excitement for ddlc+ so ddl #*ddlc got a bunch of internet content and like a big celebration for the anniversary #but also cause. that’s around the time I got into the game and entered the fandom. so I was spoiled as a new fan #and now I am left to my own devices to generate content…and also fan content of course #anyway. i don’t actually know what to make of that whole contest thing #and any possible lore implications #so I’m just making this post where I go ‘damn that was crazy’#i still kinda like the idea that. the girls didn’t do anything to Monika. she just did that for attention #and they were like. ok. fake your death then whatever #we’re still not letting you win #or that’s what happens when Monika doesn’t get enough attention. like tinker bell #OR the more actual lore MatPat esque theory #that Monika’s file was ‘gone’ because she somehow escaped #and the other girls were covering for her with the contest and the explanation that ‘ohh well we didn’t want her to win so…yeah…’#TWITCH WRITES that’s the other thing I was thinking of #and btw. i wrote the end of this post like that on purpose. :3
