!! CHAPTER 7 / DIASOMNIA ARC SPOILERS !!
Damn we are eating a lot (Part 2):
During the battle, Baul is shooked on how Silver and Sebek are good at dealing with horses to which Sebek replies that they're part fo the equestrian club so it's a natural thing for them
Yuu and Grim were about to get attacked by an Iron Man but Lilia comes in to defend them. BUT THEN LILIA PROCEEDS TO SMACK SILVER AND SEBEK BEING ALL "This is why I hate children 😒" 😭😭😭
After the battle we reach the castle (which is the castle in the Sleeping Beauty movie) AND THEN WE SEE THE KNIGHT OF DAWN
Tumblr media
Anyways going back to the topic, we also get Henric, who is pretty much going "Meleanor if you don't get out of that castle right now we'll invade the castle together with the Knight of Dawn" AND JESUS FUCK HIS SPRITE 💀
Tumblr media
Yucks
It turns out the Knight of Dawn doesn't want any part of this either, cuz Henric wants Meleanor's magic orb and dragon egg (aka Malleus) since they're really precious things
Idk what's up with this chapter and their thing for turning characters into orphans cuz the Knight of Dawn is also an orphan adopted by the king 🧍‍♀️, and Henric tells him that if he can steal the orb maybe it could save the king and Leah
We then see Meleanor, WHO IS A FUCKING BADDIE SO DAMN REAL TWST YKNOW HOW MUCH I LOVE YOUR WOMEN 😍😍😍
Tumblr media
WE ALSO SEE EGG MALLEUS AWWWW
Tumblr media
Meleanor tells them that she was planning to take a nap with the egg but useless people interrupted that, and she refers to the egg as Malleus already 🥹. Lilia is just confused and asks how is she sure that the egg is a boy, in which Meleanor replies that a mother is always sure and knows that Malleus will grow up to be beautiful like his father, Leverne
But then she sees Sebek and Silver and makes them get down on their knees (MAAM I'LL ALSO GET DOWN ON MY KNEES FOR YOU 🧎‍♀️🧎‍♀️🧎‍♀️), she then goes on about how humans are weak and stuff. Lilia tries to defend them but Baul tells us about Meleanor's hatred for humans and that we might as well stay quiet
But then Lilia loses his shit as well and tries to tell Meleanor about the danger that's just waiting outside but Meleanor refuses, saying that she wants to fight because she's a mother who wants to protect egg Malleus (I swear I can't this update is making me cry 😭). So she tells everyone to escape with the egg while she fights the Knight of Dawn and we get this scene of Lilia holding on to egg Malleus
Tumblr media
Meleanor tells them to leave but Lilia refuses. So out of anger, she zaps him which causes everyone to panic cuz he has the egg and Silver tries to stop it but Meleanor gets even more mad that she zaps him too like jesus this woman and her anger issues. Silver tries to plead with them to stop fighting because people who love each other don't fight
Meleanor replies that even if she doesn't make it, Malleus is still there. But Lilia tells her that Malleus can't hatch without the true love of a parent. BUT THEN WE GET THIS REVEAL THAT LILIA PROPOSED TO MELEANOR 200 YEARS AGO AND HE ALSO LOVED LEVERNE LIKE LILIA MELEANOR LEVERNE POLY RELATIONSHIP IS FUCKING REAL. Meleanor reassures Lilia that he will find a way to love Malleus since he also loved her and Leverne 🥹
She then summons thorns that drags Lilia and the rest away from the castle, saying her final goodbye to both Lilia and Malleus (I'm crying rn guys). Lilia tries to find a way back in to save Meleanor but Baul yells at him to calm down cuz he was still holding egg Malleus, and that Meleanor trusted them to protect the egg
Meleanor makes her appearance to the Knight of Dawn and Silver Owls, which starts another battle....

ikevil - tips on how to draw william rex
next: harrison ->
what better way to start this than with our beautiful lord rex? I hope I make sense with this guide oml
introduction: you know how you want to draw your favorite characters, but don't know where to start? you know, those characters with ridiculously difficult designs?
this is for ikevil. hope this helps
(there is no tracing whatsoever in this. this was all done by hand. analyzing anothers' artstyle is NOT a form of art stealing. people naturally learn from observing others. imitation is the highest form of flattery. this is not meant to disrespect natsume lemon in any way.) disclaimer, I am not a professional artist. these are not set in stone. these are just tips.
section 1 - observation
finding important traits
Tumblr media
my writing sucks. let me sum it up for you
thin, angular features. thin nose, sharp eyebrows, elf sharp ears
his face is quite long. the chin is not completely sharp, it is more blunt.
william has an earring on his left ear.
large forehead to plant a kiss on
his smile is :>
his eyebrows are in a ] shape (I don't know how to describe it)
section 2 - study
imitating the original sprite
Tumblr media Tumblr media
this is the part that gets tricky.
it helps me learn better because it translates the reference into something I can understand. it's also so I don't forget anything (so many accessories...)
I crudely slapped the colors from the original onto my imitation to save time 😭😭
let's break down his design.
hair
monstrosity. aesthetically pleasing to look at. but drawing it? hell. I have color-coded it into pieces here:
Tumblr media Tumblr media
magenta: back hair. very spiky and a bit long. it's a bit poofy on top (at least on the main sprite)
red: extends outwards. try to have the part dangling down cover the end of the hairline.
yellow: think of it like a little extension from the green section. just dangling down a bit.
green: make it dramatic
blue: similar to red, but smaller and on the other side. tucked behind green.
2. eyes
Tumblr media Tumblr media
his eyes are in a parallelogram shape. the slant is similar for both ends.
outer corners extend upwards.
they're not opened very wide.
almost everything is sharp. very little curves.
his pupils are a bit larger than slits.
the inner corners are lowered significantly.
3. clothing
I only did a bust but still
Tumblr media Tumblr media
underneath that outer collar is the same dress shirt you see in the sprite below. don't forget about it.
the cravat (???) is crinkled by the outer chain
I was obviously too lazy but remember to draw the pattern of the outer collar
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
all these accents have a rope-like texture
the chain mainly consists of triangles, but they rotate... I could not be bothered to go through that pain
accessories in the third image
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
section 3 - personal application
applying all these tips to my own artstyle
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
this was arguably the most painful part of the process. I got artstyle envy because of the study, so I had to hide the study 😭😭
I hope I portrayed him accurately
got a lazy with the clothes... but I make up for it in coloring. eugh trust the process
final comparison
Tumblr media
I still like the study better but my artstyle is fine too 🤧

zora redesign! design notes under cut:
gave her short hair because the long hair & cape combo doesnt make for a great silhouette imo ⠀
made her colour palette mostly brown because im not a huge fan of her original colour scheme. i get that its supposed to be sunset colours but it just doesnt hit for me. i relegated the yellow and orange to accent colours to make them pop more ⠀
i really loved the veil @krisandthebluesurgeons gave her in their zora redesign, so i gave her a similar one! i think it would be real cool if her face was covered for most of the western arc and then she revealed it for the final battle (her ac portrait also inspired this aspect of my design) ⠀
the design on the brim of her hat is meant to look like a halo of sun rays ⠀
i kept her boots the same (save for the colours) because they're probably my favourite part of the og design ⠀
speaking of things i kept the same, i generally kept her face the same, and also her bodytype. i really love her kind of inverted triangle bodytype so i took care to preserve it ⠀
i changed the sun design on the poncho and moved it to the back. i was gonna have it on the front at first but the design looked too busy like that. of course if this design were to be in the actual show then putting a design on the back would be pointless because none of the characters have sprites where we can see their back. thank goodness this design is NOT in the show! ⠀
i made her outfit under the poncho less.... all over the place. most notably i got rid of the gauntlets because WHAT ARE THOOOOSE and also i gave her regular jean-type pants because horizontal stripes??? seriously??? i always thought her pants looked so fucking goofy 😭

(random thought) now that i think about it... Isn't it suspicious how the story represented that Meleanor and Knight of Dawn has iconic items... Namely: Meleanor's Princess of Glow Staff and Knight of Dawn's Auroral Ring...
Yet in the present, we only see Dawn's ring as it was passed to Silver.. but Meleanor's staff is still missing??? despite the fact it's the main thing that Silver Owls wants to steal from Briar Valley as it can create miracles (like saving the Silver Owl king from his illness)— but that lore drop never got any mention again- 😭 I really wanted to know more about Silver Owls...
in fact I think the history of the human-fae war in Book7 was too summarized-- (Which kinda makes sense since they have to focus more on Malleus' story) so I really feel like they're keeping information about it, perhaps until Levan's reveal???👀
tldr: we have Knight of Dawn's ring in the present BUT WHERE IS MELEANOR'S STAFF???
Tumblr media Tumblr media
The defeat of Briar Valley was suspiciously abrupt too-?? Plus, I feel like theres some foreshadow in the future at the fact that the """Silver Owl's Castle""" has been ruined/abandoned by thorns. We know Meleanor filled the castle with thorns to kick Lilia out to save Malleus, but we also see that after Meleanor's death they renovated her castle to claim territory so they definitely cleared out the castle of any thorns or Briar Valley's belongings... yet when it was found by Lilia 400 years later, its covered in thorns again??? (Maybe its bcs its name is "Wild Briar Castle" thats why the thorns grew back and I'm overthinking 💀)
Tumblr media
But also its suspicious that Knight of Dawn is ALSO easily defeated... like wdym Dawn got killed amidst the war between neighbouring HUMAN nations... The guy solo killed Meleanor??? He's capable of defeating them, yet he got killed❓❓(I'm actually assuming that Dawn purposely defeat, because he felt way too guilty creating a kingdom on a land that's not his, and also the fact that it's a castle from Meleanor that he has killed, like he concluded that the existence of thr Kingdom of Swords would only result in further turmoil between humans and faes therefore it doesn't need to exist, that's why it was short lived??)
Furthermore, they have Dawn's sprite without the armour but its not shown in any main story segment yet, they always show Dawn with the armour, never without it (yet) WHICH MEANS WE MIGHT RETUEN TO LAND OF BRIAR/SILVER OWLS ONCE AGAIN 😳🙏🙏❓❓just to reveal this sprite someday yk--
Tumblr media
This is just a random thought, idk what theory I'll make out of this... but it really felt like Book 7 just gave us a tiny glimpse about TWST's world building/history and I feel like its going to hit me aggressively if they start connecting dots/parallels again for these "little things that they dropped that we missed bcs we're all distracted crying on Malleus' hatching story" 😭😭

Eizan, the runaway rabbit.
Tumblr media
(s.n. i wanna redo eizans sprites because i went back to it not too long ago and flipped the canvas.... yeah his face is rlly wonky so i might do that in the future 😭)
Trivia:
- Ais Route
- All clothes were made by him, he is a master of textiles. This is because he had to find a way to be innovative while saving up for a cure.
- Very light on his feet and a fast runner, hence the name runaway rabbit.
- Very strong/fit and can handle himself in a fight
- Has ADHD and gets caught off guard very easily. This is usually his downfall as he needs time to strategize and process something before he utilizes his strength and dexterity.
- Loves humor and making people laugh and smile. He finds self worth in making others happy and makes it his mission to get a laugh out of someone as much as possible.
- Really good perception and understanding of the human mind bc of this.
- Rabbit symbolism
- Likes riding horses because it makes him even faster
- Generally a likeable person and isn't very hateful. He doesn't get mad very often, but when he does, he gets pissed.
- Has really good street smarts and is able to wield any weapon with decent efficiency. His preferred weapon is a dagger or a double-edged claymore.
- The only grudge he holds is against Roseus.
- Love language is touch
- Voice claim: Matt Shipman
Backstory:
Eizan was very popular in his home village. There was people who side eyed him because of his curse, but it was overshadowed by his bright personality and kindness. He was always a silly kid.
Whenever he was around 9 years old, he was playing tag with the village's children when his hand got caught on a protruding branch and tore his glove, exposing his hands. When he tagged another kid, the curse affected them. The child went mad and ended up stabbing Eizan with a stake. It was nearly fatal but both the child and Eizan survived. The child was subdued and the curse wore off without having to kill them. Eizan was scarred physically and mentally and lost his spark after that. He stayed inside, even if his parents tried to encourage him to go back outside and that the people forgave him. He couldn't do it until his best friend, Roseus (ro-shus), had made a promise to help him find a cure. From that point on, he slowly regained his spark and while recovering, he learned how to make clothing.
It was when they were both 19 that they had made enough money to get themselves to Eridia for a cure. They had packed their things and told their village goodbye. Eizan was a warrior to the village that protected them from fogfall, and he knew this, everyone did. Roseus was his partner in arms and they were leaving the village unguarded. They set up lethal traps and fencing all around the village, but they knew it wouldn't be enough. They knew what would happen to their people.
They wouldn't be able to come back, ever.
Their journey was incredibly long. They survived with very minimal damage to themselves until 2 years into their travels, they split. They were caught off guard by a soulless attack that wasn't prompted by a fogfall. It had injured Eizan's leg and left him immobile without the adrenaline to keep him on his feet. Roseus, driven by fear, prepared to run away.
Eizan yelled for his best friend, "Rose! Help me damnit! Kill the fucking thing!!"
The man in question looked at him, petrified. He shook his head in fear as the soulless turned to him, letting out a screech. Roseus yelped and turned heel, running away.
"ROSEUS!! ROSEUS YOU BASTARD YOU HAVE THE MONEY!! COME BACK!"
The soulless left Eizan as it ran in the direction of Roseus, and all Eizan knew was that he hoped Roseus was killed.
Without the money for the cure and only having pocket change left, he stood on wobbily feet. He winced at the pain in his leg. He took out his medkit and wrapped the injury the same way he would his hands. He swore to whatever god out there, that if he ever saw Roseus again, he'd kill him.
After hobbling for a while, he managed to find a caravan that accepted him onto their journey to Eridia.
More art and stat sheets below!!!
some of the stat sheets might need to be updated... its been a few months LMAO, same with my watermark

Tumblr media
anyone remember this game?
i mostly remember it for its inclusion of the ninja turtles dressed as princesses (?) and wondered for the longest time what the context was
turns out the entire time it was donnie dreaming that his brothers were dressed as princesses for some reason???
Tumblr media Tumblr media
full context is that he was playing a video game, fell asleep while thinking of april for some reason, and then dreamt that he was a protag on a mission to rescue princess april
however, each level (which seems to be taking inspiration from different games) he saves what he thinks is princess april only for it to be one of his brothers instead, and then they send him off to another level to go find her
Tumblr media Tumblr media
the reveal of raph with that turn around was so funny i laughed out loud
also, for this level, you can attack by hurling shurikens at the enemies, which were the mousers; the shurikens instantly hone in on whatever enemy is closest to you. big boss was a kraang bot.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
mikey's level seems to be mario inspired with himself as peach. interestingly, this is the one level where you can't attack, you can only jump
enemies were pirahanas (with part of their flesh removed?) that would jump out of the water, if you hit one you instantly lost a life. big boss was fishface
Tumblr media Tumblr media
this level felt to most "beat 'em up" to me. enemies were foot soldier esque and you had to get close to them and spam the attack button. close combat only. felt fitting for a leo level ig. big boss was shredder (also fitting), and his boss fight was so cool. like, too cool. his sprite looked so good.
leo's mask being used for leia's buns is the cherry on top
the detail on this game is insane😭this is a nick free to play 😭😭
love the implication that donnie's brothers troll him even in his dreams. their sprites have so much detail too, donnie you dream like this??

ughhh idk whyyy but i have developed a HUGE LOVE FOR THIS MAN
Tumblr media
LOOK AT HIM
i can’t wait to get him next year >.<
his card is SO PRETTY and i love that little gidel is there too🥺
Tumblr media
and the groovy art IS THE CUTEST THING— 😭😭
Tumblr media
i love their dynamic and how fellow looks out for little gidel🤧
(love the reference from the movie !!)
also they come TOGETHER in their chibi form sprites ??!! TWST ENGLISH PLS IMPLEMENT THEM NOW😭😭 i NEED my boys *cries* (yes i will continue saving up my keys and gems for them !!!! i managed to get rollo with 3 x10 pulls so PLS FELLOW DON’T MAKE ME SPEND TOO MUCH >.< i also gotta save up for malleus bday cards [yes i have all his cards so far lmao] and for skully j whenever he drops. i just wanna make sure i have enough for everyone cuz i want all the special cards [tbh it’s the only reason i bothered with rollo] T_T)
also, since we get ferro’s info from the SSR (he’s 26) it makes me wonder how old is gidel ?? cuz he’s a child (obviously lmao) but he’s also smaller than ortho (at least the chibi sprites show he is) and in the groovy art ferro is clearly teaching him his letters, so it’s safe to assume he can’t read yet but then again he doesn’t go to school… the mystery of gidel sksk
damn this got longer than it was suppose to be wtf

I finished blizzard! More observations:
- I prefer how hitomiko’s arc is written in the game. She has more moments of showing she cares about raimon and genesis whereas in the anime she really just seems willing to use them to win 😭 and out of nowhere raimon are like we’re grateful to you coach :D. She burns her hands trying to open a door to save them and she talks about her brother’s death which was nice to see as the anime never focuses on how it affected her too.
- Omg gazelle and burn were robbed so hard 😭 I thought they didn’t get a lot to do in the anime. Gazelle doesn’t even play Raimon he just kicks a ball at them and aphrodi stops it, and burn isn’t even in it? By the end they just disappear and kira is like meh send genesis out.
- I think I prefer game! fubuki’s resolution of his arc, but the anime had more impact. Ofc this is also a difference of mediums, it’s harder to show a character going thru it via a couple expressions and their sprite shaking, still I think they showed the concept well via a game. I prefer Atsuya actually saying a proper goodbye to fubuki, although the arc feels a tiny bit anticlimactic because nothing dramatic happened (like the anime hospital scene or all the times fubuki broke down on the pitch and felt angsty on the bench)
- It’s interesting how Hijikata wasn’t in it and wasn’t the one hiding Gouenji? I prefer the anime for this part because ofc I believe Gouenji loves his friends and would want to help them, but still wouldn’t risk it if he didn’t have confirmation his sis was 100% safe. The anime defo made Gouenji’s return so cool with the music and everyone was a lot more overjoyed, in the game endou was like smashing ur back, gtg practice byeeee.
- The go go raimon part in the dark emperors game was very cute with pixel sprites because they were all twirling and jumping around. The whole game had a very cute endearing vibe that reminds me of stardew and undertale!

SPOILERS FOR DRDT CHAPTER 2 EPISODE 13
TW: SUICIDE
I just wanted to share my thoughts on the episode too since I've seen a lot of people do that
By the way I had to watch this like 7 hours after it was released and I have not scrolled through Tumblr yet so I might bring up stuff that have already been discussed. Also all of these notes were written down while I was watching the episode so yeah
-Levi just moved up so much on my kin list it's insane like omg…
- This was one bad day for Acevi fans, huh. I guess the Xanvid came at a price
-Whit I can now see why David told you to shut up I like you but that was bad 💀 (he was probably left affected by how David reacted in episode 12 and is either really uncomfortable or somewhat intimidated by David now)
-Nah nah nah that's definitely not Teruko's secret so I'm gonna start theorizing now. Teruko might have most of the secrets. It's not like they belong to her, but if you think back to episode 8 she said that she doesn't know which secret is hers because so many things have happened in her life. She probably said that she got the family secret because she thought that was the most likely one. Hu's secret might also be accurate to her considering the fact that, in episode 4, she told Arei that failed suicide attempts are painful, hinting at the fact that she might have tried to kill herself at some point (also backed up by the fact that, in episode 3, she says "why save my life if you're just going to ruin it afterwards?" when talking about her medical debt). The idea that she has most (if not all, but I doubt that) of the secrets might tie in with the killing game secret since it says "How could I even select what secret to be your motive?". The wording here is very ambiguous since it could be interpreted as "secrets about your life" or "secrets that are on the board", like the ones that the other cast members have, the latter being something that I bet that nobody in the fandom thought about until this episode. Anyway theory over back to saying stupid shit
-AREI ILYSM YOU ARE MAKING ME CRY YET FEEL HAPPY THAT'S WHY YOU'RE MY FAVORITEEEEE 😭😭😭
-SHE GOT NEW SPRITES TOO SHE IS SO PRETTY
-I MADE AN AUDIBLE GASP NOISE WHEN THAT CG WITH EDEN SHOWED UP HOLY SHIT!!!! I think she might have hurt or killed the girl she kissed? Unless she killed Arei, which is still a posibility, or Levi lied about his secret for Eden’s sake (idea which could contribute to the "Eden killer Levi accomplice" theory), though Charles would have also needed to lie for Eden since he had her secret. Also, if we're going with Eden remorseless murderer theory, in my opinion, it wouldn't make sense for Eden to be a remorseless killer after what Arei said about her making a mistake "that she couldn't take back" (showing that she probably felt remorse for what she did). Also also this is a good time for me to bring up the note with "Eden's motive" that Charles gave to Teruko. That note could be proof of whether or not Eden really does have the girl kisser secret and I want to mention that the note could be anything since we only have Charles' word to rely on. I really hope we get to see what it says because it's been making me more suspicious of Charles (I personally think that Charles is somewhat suspicious so I might make a post about it soon even though there isn't much proper evidence to say that he has something to do with the killing game, there's still a couple of questionable things about what he's done/said). Okay yap session number two over
-Arei moved up even more on my kin list how is that even possible…. I also love how her voice changed so much in this episode. Even in prior episodes, her voice seemed so cheerful and energetic, yet in this one, it's much calmer. Showing that she truly is feeling relieved that there are other bad people in the world like her and that she might have a chance to redeem herself if so. God damnit Mokaui (Arei's VA) did such a good job with all of her voice lines she needs to be credited more
-THE AREI CG I AM CRYING AREI YOU ARE EVERYTHING TO ME ILYSM I CAN'T WAIT FOR THE BONUS EPISODE AFTER THIS
-They're finally talking about the murder method this is a new evolution for humanity
-Monotv causally breaking the forth wall, now we can blame it on the cast that they were talking about the secrets for an entire year because they didn't watch the Chapter 2 recap
-YESSS FINALLY A MINIGAME I’VE MISSED THESE SO MUCHHHH
-Ooh so that's what the broken handles meant also that Veronika art is so pretty
-I wonder why they would want to break her neck though, it doesn't seem like it would help with the murder at all, but maybe the killer was trying to cause confusion
-This is proving a theory that I've had for a while. If Arei was hung from the ceiling of the playground, then that could be tied in with the broken lights and the movie screening room above the playground. How would they be able to get her into the playground from the movie screening room though…
-J 💀 (that's all I’ve got to say literally)
-That's a lot of very precise information Whit I can understand Veronika but why would you know all that. Care to share something with the class?
-The text animations in the debate are so unique like the question marks with Rose and the one that circles around the top of Levi’s head those look so cool. Also getting to hear a lot of characters talk in a row feels amazing. It gives them a lot of depth showing the contrast between those characters’ tones of voice.
-Also there goes my screening room theory damn
-Everyone just roasting Teruko again is the best thing out of this episode /j
-We got puppy Whit 10/10 episode
-Also THREE CGS AND TWO MINIGANES IN ONE EPISODE??? DRDTDEV YOU HAVE BEEN COOKING 🔥🔥🔥 YOU CAN STOP NOW THE KITCHEN IS ON FIRE (IN THE GOOD WAY). YOU MADE AN ENTIRE BUFFET. THIS IS AN ALL-YOU-CAN-EAT YOU CAN STOP NOW-
-Ooooo she's talking about Ace's attempted murder
-(Probably) Nico and Ace focused episode next week Nico and Ace fans are gonna be eating good
Overall, this might be my favourite episode so far. Not like I had a favourite episode before but still this was SO good
Also I just checked my Tumblr notifications why are there 50 like oh my lord 💀

Hey Nightmare! I replayed your game recently and wanted to explain why I chose music in the survey. I love the game on almost all of its sides, and a lot of them just stayed with me. The sprites are so afshsg, Keith's smug expression portrays a lot of the character that I saw in the blog when he gains confidence. His jealous/worried expression frightens me because he looks very unstable. And about Tene, he really looks like the socially awkward /and dangerous/ dork he is. I can see when he's nervous and when he's relaxed. I can read his face and not misunderstand when making choices around him. Their sprites are more than good for me, they're charming. If I have to be picky I'd say maybe the backgrounds could improve. The characters don't mix well with it, but sometimes that's good because contrast;; and also gives you a mysterious, foggy vibe like everything is just a bad dream and you don't know what is going to happen.
I love the writing too, especially the last date! I got the scary vibe (and the fae painting was great!), it gave me chills. The writing stays with me during my daily life, I love the dialogues and I repeat them all through my brain. I like how you show things, imply things instead of just saying them. I like that the MC is smart enough to know what to do in different, unexpected situations. If anything, I think you could make that feel more natural. For example, sometimes you can choose "I'm not scared" after a scene that freaked your character out. Maybe make us choose the option earlier and show during different scenes how the MC is not scared, that way MC's acts match their words. Still, the writing is awesome for me. The romantic scenes just make me all giddy amdjsk, I wouldn't change a thing about that, and the MC's options during them (i like that I have the option to say I'd put a collar on tenebris, and you can also not be into that just bc tene is). But ofc changing the writing and art is up to you! I shouldn't mention this because it's evident but it's your game and more important than making a game that people will enjoy is making a game that you'll enjoy making and you're satisfied with!
My point is (sorry that was long!) the only thing I don't remember after closing the game is the music. I slightly remember Tene's main theme (which I find funny when it starts playing because it's like HELL YES TENE IS HERE TO MAKE TROUBLEEEE BABY) but the rest doesn't really stick with me. This doesn't mean it's bad, it's actually good but I know it could be better, it could add a lot more than it does. There are some moments when the music goes off (like the first date) which I don't think is a good moment to go off because you usually get worried/scared when that happens. Walking home after the date during night should feel more tiring and nostalgic, yet romantic. There should be a way to differentiate a happy charming, magical night with the boys from a calm, nostalgic nightly path. And if there's a way to add more life to a VN, that's music! It doesn't have to be a masterpiece, but feel more 'full of life' if you get me.
I hope my review is useful and not bothering agshsgs. This is all me trying hard to find things that could be better. The demo is already so so good as it is! I was surprised to see the survey in the first place when you're already doing great and hard work. If you have to point a gun at me to choose, music is my choice. I think a lot of VNs underestimate it (not that I think you do!). I say this as a person who used to undervalue music, I can draw and write but cannot make music to save my life, I suck at it 😭 but now I wouldn't be satisfied until finding the perfect piece.
Take what I say with a grain of salt Nightmare!! Thank you for giving us this masterpiece already. 🙇 Hope you're doing great!!
Hi! Thank you for your feedback and for all the praise! 💕
Honestly, I absolutely get where you're coming from in terms of the music. But sadly, music is something I can't do all that much about. I don't have the budget to hire a composer, so I'm stuck with using whatever royalty free music I can find. I will try to plan it out a little better in terms of when certain tracks play, though!

!! CHAPTER 7 / DIASOMNIA ARC SPOILERS !!
Let's keep going guys (Part 2):
Papa Shroud had to stop Ortho from going after Idia, because the Ortho in Idia's dream is not what Idia remembers in reality. Papa Shroud tells Ortho to explain to Idia about the dream worldsince he's not aware that he's actually dreaming. But Ortho says he's not worried (which shocks both parents) because Idia would be probably amazed at seeing a humanoid AI (this made me giggle)
So Ortho enters Idia's dream, and Idia sees a video call request which he answers. STOP IDIA GETS OVERWHELMED CUZ HE THOUGHT ORTHO WAS COSPLAYING 😭😭😭. But Idia notices that Ortho calls him "Nii-san" and Ortho tells him that he is in fact the real Ortho (aka the humanoid AI), but Idia is in denial that he's real until Ortho points out for him that he noticed that the world is off.
Ortho tells Idia that he needs him to save the world together. Which causes Idia to go insane cuz a humanoid boy on his computer is asking HIM for help to save the world. When Ortho tells Idia that it's all a dream, the dream itself starts to distort. That's when RSA! Ortho calls and tells Idia that OG! Ortho is a lie, which pretty much causes Idia to go thru a crisis not knowing who to believe
Also guys the sprite for RSA! Ortho is uhhhh
Tumblr media
It's giving uncanny valley amped up to 11
Ok going back RSA! Ortho tries to tell Idia that he's simply tired but OG!Ortho tries to snap Idia out of it but then Idia gets dragged into the darkness
And once Idia gets consumed by the darkness, he goes back to the first time we see Idia's dream where it was the opening ceremony with Malleus (so i guess it's kinda looping???). But before Malleus can lead him to the Mirro Chamber a ball of light appears WHICH CAUSES IDIA TO HIDE BEHIND MALLEUS AND SAY THE RANDOMEST SHIT EVER I CAN'T 💀💀💀
TURN OUT THAT WAS CERBERUS ORTHO SAYING THAT HE FOUND IDIA and of course Malleus is not happy and wonders how did someone like Ortho find his way into the dream world. Orthos answers that question by replying that he works just like a ghost, who have the ability to go dimension hopping.
MALLEUS IS SO MAD LMAOOO AND PROCEEDS TO CALL ORTHO AN ANNOYING MECHANICAL DOLL AND THEY START FIGHTING AGAIN AND IDIA IS JUST THERE CONFUSED CUZ A STYX ROBOT AND AN OVERBLOT ARE JUST FIGHTING EACH OTHER TO THE DEATH 😭😭😭
That's when the darkness reappears again because Ortho, the outlier, interfered with the dream. Malleus leaves Idia to get consumed (again) and Ortho desperately holds on to him. But Mama Shroud tells Ortho that he shouldn't try to save Idia, because if he gets consumed, he will be lost in the darkness. So Ortho had no choice but to let go...
Chopping this off again because I believe the next part deserves its own section, and I really need to make that damn paper so stay tuned!

Just finished chapter one of project Edens garden and hooolyyy shit
spoilers ↓
I went in assuming Cassidy would die (albeit I wasn't sold on Toshiko dying first just because of the trailer), and then assuming that Diana or Ingrid were the culprits when the trial began. Eva's framing so good I assumed it was Diana even before the boiler room shenanigans were revealed 💯💯
I was NOT expecting both Wolfgang and Eva to be killed off in CHAPTER 1 what a way to subvert expectations! I went in completely spoiler free too God Bless 🙏 so everything was such a well crafted surprise . Voice acting was SO GOODDD too Kai's screams are hilarious and Eva's breakdown broke meeee.
I was at one point terrified that Kai was gonna die because he had so much screentime (and perhaps the fact I only spent FTEs with him and nobody else made me assume he had more than he did too) 😭🙏 ecstatic to find out that he didn't die and had an alibi through the trial 🙏🙏😭😭😭😭
Art was very beautiful, all the new sprites and the execution were very well drawn (albeit the events of the execution fell a tiny bit flat (as well as the motives. However that might just be me subconsciously comparing it with the anticipation of DRDT's motives that were hidden for so long VS me finishing peg ch1 in two days). Nontheless it was still very good and the biblical allusion in the execution name is a sick detail. I feel like Cara losing limbs in every execution will become a bit similarly to the monokubs dying in every DRV3 execution)
Might I add also that the argument altercation Eva art and the sharper art style was SO PRETTYYYYYYYY I loved the style for that bit even if I struggled like a 6 year old with the minigame lmfao (I blame my shitty almost decade year old laptop 💔)
And I spent every single free time event with Kai, naturally. guess my favourite. let me tell you guys I was ecstatic to find out I was sharing a room with KAI MONTEAGO and also the fact I could've shared a bed with him if it weren't for Wolfgang dying smh....
here's a tier list lads I've been making one each time I play 💯 one thing remains constant, Kai is always my heart 💕💕💕
Tumblr media
My laptop is so old (thank the lord I'm getting a new one sometime soon) and I had to download other people's save files to skip the sword argjments because my laptop could NOT take it 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

dead boy detectives episode eight thoughts
oh my god we're here... the finale... god i have so many thoughts with this. im gonna try to keep things slightly organized and do a little wrap-up at the end but. we'll see!
moved spoilery stuff under the cut haha. but also technically everything is a spoiler? so it's just all under the read more 👍
first of all... niko my love my heart. i've moved past the shock i'm just sad now... my girl!!! i hate being right sometimes like... god she was so kind and she tried so hard and and. huauaauaghh i don't have the words for this just know im absolutely gutted 😭😭
and crystal... god i love the way they did her memories and i love that she was an asshole, but also she was a neglected kid with parents who didn't even notice when she went missing!! god. it sure does explain some things huh... idk i love the way she reacted, how scared she was of the person she used to be. but ultimately, of course, the only way she can go is forward. the only thing she can do is live with who she used to be and choose who she wants to be going forward, and she won't be doing those things alone
JENNY IM SO GLAD JENNY CAME TO ENGLAND WITH THEM. it sucks that her shop got exploded but also i think it'll be good for her, to get a fresh start somewhere else after the shit she's been through. i'm glad she's staying with the group i care her ^^
monty helping save them... alright man. you're on thin ice but you're at least back on the ice instead of falling right through so. you have earned a little bit of my respect back and im sorry that you were bound to such a shitty witch 👍
ALSO HEY SPEAKING OF EDWIN'S LOVE INTERESTS. can we talk about the gorgeous animation for the cat king's story????? HELLO that was beautiful and so impressive!!! it really transported me into the story being told and it looked so classic disney which made a wonderful juxtaposition with what was happening. i love that so much!!!!!
esther... god what do i say about esther. her acting is phenomenal, she's so well written to be funny and absolutely terrifying, i love her story and i love the way it was resolved. i absolutely LOVE that she wasn't beaten by the gang overpowering her, it was karmic. it was the retribution for the lives she's taken, all the little girls she's killed for her own selfishness, and their retribution comes to claim her. who gets justice for them, indeed
OKAY can i just say. i am absolutely thrilled with how the lilith thing went down i didn't even think they would use the image of her in esther's memories to contact her!!! i hoped she would be involved somehow, would right the wrongs that had been done to those little girls, but i did not expect it to be this amazing!!!! god i love that they put those pieces into the show so early, so we were able to guess that they'd come together and then they DO in such an amazing way!!!
and once again niko saves the day by being genuine and talking to people... god i love her so much. she learned the exact information they needed for this fight episodes ago, by talking to the woman near the beach because she likes talking to people and learning things!!!! niko sasaki the woman that you were.... god the fact that it's were instead of are. im gonna fucking cry
and the ending!!! they aren't on the run anymore it's been recognized that they're doing good so they're allowed to keep doing it and helping people!!!!! GODDD that makes me so happy i love that so much!!!!!!
ALSO I WILL SAY. when the superior didn't give them her name and then said the thing that tragic mick (finally learned his name!) told niko before she died... im not gonna lie my first thought was that she Was niko like somehow after dying she ended up in the afterlife outside of time or whatever. i don't think that's true i think it's just the theme of the show and that's why they said it twice but. for a minute i was like HELLO???
but the very ending scene!!! niko and the sprites? i think? idk im really bad with faces and recognize people through their hair so. did not help that they were dressed sensibly for the weather and their hair wasn't showing haha. BUT STILL. was that her afterlife? why are the sprites there?? what does that scene Mean is there still a chance for her to meet the group again??? please i need answers you can't just leave me hanging about my girl!!!!!! 😭😭
god this whole show has been amazing i'm so glad i watched it... thank you noble for introducing me to dead boy detectives!! i have had such a good time, it's been an emotional rollercoaster and i'm so sad it's over. i'm off to the tumblr search to reblog whatever i find and then it's to ao3 for me, with noble's profile as a starting point and then i'll scour the tags haha. thank you guys for coming along with me on this lovely experience! i'm doing a little wrap-up summary below to end things off
FAVORITE MAIN CHARACTER: god this is so difficult.... it's gotta be niko or charles, but know that i say this with the other two very close behind. they're all fantastic, it's rare that even when i imprint on a character (in this case charles) the others are all so good that it's still hard to pick a clear favorite, with niko even rivalling that imprint
FAVORITE RECURRING SIDE CHARACTER: jenny it's gotta be jenny!! i love her scenes i love her personality she's so fun i love how no-nonsense she is only to consistently be dragged into the Most Nonsense. she's a delight i love her and her proficiency with knives
FAVORITE ONE-OFF CHARACTER: kashi!!! fish guy!! he is such a goddamn delight he is the first character whose name i learned On Purpose instead of through the natural course of the show. i love him he showed up for one episode, performed his role magnificently, and swanned off to implied further fascinating adventures. love that guy
FAVORITE EPISODE: okay surprising no one ever, probably episode seven? i love what it does with the characters, i love the scene of edwin and charles meeting (well worth the wait!), i love all of it
SECOND FAVORITE EPISODE: okay this one has gotta be episode four or the jock one. five maybe? idk im torn between those two bc of the excellent charles characterization and development we get, and i've mentioned before what a soft spot i have both for the scene where he first breaks down and the scene where he and edwin hug. i love them both i cannot choose!!!
FAVORITE LOCATION: this has gotta be the dead boy detective office or maybe the inside of the fish. idk they're very different locations but they both serve their purpose very well and have a lot to offer!! oh wait shit actually i take it back the inside of crystal's mind with the tree. that's absolutely gorgeous and i love it so much
LEAST FAVORITE CHARACTER: daniel. the demon ex sorry i choose not to remember his name <3 he is daniel To Me. anyway they just did a really good job of making him a shitty asshole who also happens to be a powerful demon
FINAL OPINION ON THE CAT KING: uh. i mean i still don't respect him but he's a very fun character and i do enjoy his vibe. i actually liked him a lot better when he wasn't essentially holding edwin prisoner (imagine that!) so i think the coercive nature of that original dynamic is what really threw me off. i found myself enjoying his character a lot more with the bracelet off and them interacting on even footing!
and finally, i couldn't possibly choose so here
LIST OF FAVORITE SCENES
- charles dying and meeting edwin
- charles having a breakdown at the night nurse
- every kashi scene
- crystal speaking to lilith and when she appeared to claim esther
- simon seeing the blue light and possibly leaving hell
- pretty much all of niko and edwin's one on one talks
- the conversation between niko and crystal when they first opened up to each other
- edwin telling the cat king the binding bracelet is all he is and leaving to save his friends
- charles hugging edwin after edwin comforts him
- esther killing the cat king
- charles getting stuck in the loop of the devlin murders
- niko going out into the storm to save her friends
- niko's reading comprehension skills <3
AND MANY MORE that i am forgetting but here you go ^^ goddamn this show is good. hit me like a trainwreck though i need a fucking nap
