#the underland project

[doodlenotesproductions]

With a heavy heart, The Underland Project needs to be let go.

I have learned a lot from this project and wouldn't even be able to take any kind of client works if I didn't push through it.

Unfortunately, the project has to stop.

It is a fan project that was done out of passion. I may have made some money while working on it, but they are not much and can't give me a secure life as content creator since I'm mostly doing it for free. I also can't monetize the products I make from it.

So now, I have to move on to other endeavors.

A HUGE THANK YOU TO THOSE WHO SUPPORTED THE PROJECT!

Me: dang I need a canon ref sheet of Gregor so I can draw him.

Me, looking at @aldoodles blog: HUZZAH found it.

Danganronpa Wonderland: A Masterpost

The Danganronpa Wonderland franchise is a fanmade series by Yume based off of the Danganronpa video game series. However, the franchise has no relation to the canon series, and only takes on the loose story structure and plot elements of the Danganronpa franchise.

The story is themed around the popular fairytale Alice in Wonderland, with the constant idea of the story being the contrast between change vs. complacency. The story consists of three individual series: Danganronpa Wonderland, Danganronpa Underland, and Danganronpa: Wonder's End.

An important thing to note is that while Wonderland is technically the first in the series, Underland comes before it chronogically, and the two can be read in any order, although each story will contain major spoilers for the other.

1. DANGANRONPA WONDERLAND

Danganronpa Wonderland is the first installment of the series - although it comes second chronogically.

Synopsis:

Marmoreal Academy - a prestigious school famous around the world due to its unique criteria: accepting an extremely small amount of "Ultimate" students: the most talented students on the planet. The school strives to raise the "changes" of the future, and for as long as the world can remember, the school has always been a shining example of wonder, with a charming, almost magical aura and an unclear but intriguing past.

However, this all changed five years ago, after the recent announcement of the academy's monumental 100th class of Ultimates. Following a "mysterious incident" at the start of the year, the academy suddenly withdrew itself from the eyes of the world. The school started scouting out their Ultimates in secret, afraid to show their students or intentions due to said "incident". The why and how of this sudden change in the school has always been a mystery...but soon, all will be revealed.

When Mao Akizora gets accepted into Marmoreal Academy's new - and supposedly secret - 105th class, as the Ultimate Cheerleader, she expects to finally become more than just a "simple cheerleader on the sidelines". But when she's suddenly taken to a strange and fantastical "Wonderland", where two twin rabbits and horrific slaughter await her until only the best Ultimate remains, Mao realizes what exactly a “simple cheerleader” can become in a killing game.

2. DANGANRONPA UNDERLAND

Danganronpa Underland is the second installment of the series, although it comes first in the overall timeline of events. The series is currently being written on Ao3.

Synopsis:

Fumihito - "Fumi" - Misumi has been described as a "genius", being well-versed in everything that has to do with the phenomenon that is known as "death". Cold, intelligent, and sharp-tongued, Fumi is deeply fascinated by strange questions such as: why is death so feared? Why does death leave such a lasting and large impact on others?

When Fumi receives an invitation to the prestigious Marmoreal Academy, invited to join the school's 100th class as the "Ultimate Thanatologist", he thinks little of it. But when Fumi is swept up into a terrifying killing game known as the Killing Wonder, where horrific slaughter awaits until only the best Ultimate remains, his life takes a terrifying turn. As more of his classmates die, and as Fumi's heart inevitably softens, will he finally understand why so many people fear the very idea of death?

Ao3 Link (currently writing!): https://archiveofourown.org/works/45311281/chapters/113999560

3. DANGANRONPA: WONDER'S END

Danganronpa: Wonder's End is the third and final installment of the series, and takes place shortly after Wonderland. More information will come later.

welcome to spontaneous tuc side character appreciation

since it’s tuc’s anniversary extravaganza I’d thought I’d share the list I made on my latest reread. this time we’re talking about andromeda because she’s known for the first three books and then drops off the face of existence. so here’s everything she’s done ever!

(disclaimer I’m not infallible so apologies if I missed anything. I cut out a few times where the bats were mentioned as a unit. enjoy!)

GtO

Chapter 8 - Andromeda is part of the battle on the beach, though she's not mentioned by name. Shed holds onto her wing until Perdita saves her. She sprays blood from her wounded wing and loses control. She’s caught by Shed’s feet and slams into the wall. She shakily carries gregor.

Chapter 9 - Mareth helps carry her to the hospital despite being injured. From then on, Mareth has to ride a different bat on the quest while Andromeda recovers.

PoB

Chapter 10 - Mareth introduces her to Gregor and she seems to have forgiven him and is honored to meet him. She is a chosen member for the quest.

Chapter 11 - She and Pandora huddle together without Ares. She sleeps near Mareth.

Chapter 12 - She helps tear apart the squid with her claws. She ends up with a couple of sucker marks along with Twitchtip.

Chapter 14 - She pulls the front of the boat with Aurora.

Chapter 15 - She stands guard while Mareth steers. She likes the taste of bluebits.

Chapter 16 - She drags the boat through the water. She no longer shuns Ares and all three bats huddle together. Gregor suspects it might be because she knows Aurora would choose Ares over her. They all sleep fitfully.

Chapter 17 - She lifts the front of the boat and catches Mareth and Howard. At some point Mareth is bitten and they dive for Twitchtip to sever her tail from a serpent. 

Chapter 18 - She hangs over Howard while he treats Mareth, folds her wings around him to warm him, and repeats “I must take him home” twice. 

Chapter 19 - She ruffles her wings when Gregor is revealed as a rager. She doesn’t want to injure Gregor and tells Howard they both need to get Mareth to Regalia. She says she could make the journey with a raft light enough to carry. Mareth is layed on her back with a blanket and she and Howard take off.

Chapter 25 - She is bound and ragged. She already thinks she’s guilty. Gregor says she knew he’d fight her if she didn’t leave. She shakes her wings at his testimony.

Chapter 26 - She dines with the others. It’s revealed she and Howard weren’t allowed medical care. She was “astonishing” and made the trek in 12 hours. She huddles with Ares between Gregor and Howard.

Chapter 27 - She sees Gregor off.

CotW

Chapter 7 - She’s in quarantine with Howard, playing chess. She looks healthy. She hurries to the glass, says something to Howard, and is ordered back to bed. Mareth says he doesn’t need a leg when he has her, but looks upset when he remembers she has the plague.

Chapter 10 - It’s revealed she and Howard carried Ares from his cave to the hospital, so she is STACKED.

Chapter 26 - She’s asleep in bed and has the purple bumps, but is being given the plague cure.

then as far as i know she disappears from time and space or something (joke) because she's never mentioned again. i guess she's still recovering from the plague and is probably with mareth in books 4-5, but either gregor never mentions her or she's just not there. either way she's a fun addition to the team and i'm glad she decided to give ares a chance. her bond with mareth is cool and he is my favorite character so any friend of his is a friend of mine, so to speak. like most of the other bats, she doesn't say much, but I'd say she seems sensible and protective. hope you learned something in my andromeda exposé :)

!To the TUC Fan Artists!

Genuine question.

In a world where you were paid to exclusively adapt the first book into a graphic novel/abridged comic like commissioned as a collective to do it.

Besides free time and the will to do so:

What would be the financial amount/or technical support needed– For you to complete that project?

And do you believe you can coordinate with the other TUC fan artists/ artists in general? To complete that? If a definitive style was selected, would other artists with desires to work on the project be willing to for lack of better term "follow suit" with supplementing and working in that art style when pitching panels etc?

Pretend me and Rei are sitting down like Shark Tank Sharks. We have the Capital and the desire to fund it.

We just want to know what you as artists would NEED, as far as resources and physical assistance/collaborative assistance like line artists and colorists, panelists etc. Please feel free to include a Dollar amount, hell even an Amazon Wishlist full of equipment.

At the risk of us sounding like douchebags, were just trying to gauge hyporealithetically what the artits and you all would need to dedicate like full energy into getting that done.

[thegreatbeargod-writes]

Planning on doing Camp NaNo with my fiancé, working on a collaborative fanfic we’ve been simmering on for months! Our goal for the month is half of our full WC goal, so 15k each, since we’ve got a lot going on atm.

sorry it's nearly 3am and i can't stop thinking about this. scattered thoughts below the cut

okay so gregor and lizzie would start a survival world together and it would be so incredibly epic. gregor is so serious and logical about it. ("okay liz, we've got a big mining trip ahead of us. you got torches? only two stacks? that's not nearly enough.") lizzie gets really into working with redstone and building cool contraptions and automated things. boots, when she's old enough to play, befriends every dog, cat, horse, etc. gregor grows all of his food on farms and refuses to kill any non-hostile mobs. lizzie goes overboard collecting resources but then gets too nervous to actually use any of them. ("no boots you can't have a diamond shovel, we only have 40 diamonds left!") boots constantly goes exploring all around the world and then gets lost and gregor has to go find her. um okay last thing. one time gregor is mining and has the universal minecraft experience of a bat flying in front of him while he's swinging his pickaxe and he kills it on accident and then he refuses to play again for like 2 weeks. (lizzie and boots convince him to come back when they start building a recreation of regalia underground, and that becomes their big group project for a significant amount of time to come.)

i think postcanon gregor would get really into minecraft

Man, I really feel bad for the Dinotopia guys. They built this whole intricate, creative, enrapturing world, and it was going to be the next big thing. It was gonna be the next franchise. They got George Fucking LUCAS to make a screen adaptation of it. Yeah, the starwars guy. Then midway through production he realizes how much he loves making movies and decides to ditch your project and make the prequels instead. They say there's no bad blood but... man it would fucking kill me to go to the theater and see Naboo and think "Fuck, that coulda been waterfall city"

There still was a franchise. They did eventually make spinoff paperback novels and video games and there were even a couple screen adaptations, but they were done by Lifetime and Hallmark. The lifetime one is actually surprisingly good given its budget. It tells a story that mirrors the structure of the original picture book, two brothers get marooned on Dinotopia, one of them rides a pterosaur and then they have to stop a dude named Krab from stealing a crystal that he needs to make an ancient machine get him off the island... but it's not a reboot or anything, it's the same continuity as the books. I guess guys named Krab really do be stealing crystals every generation or so. It's not really that bad of a series but damn it could have been George Lucas!

I dunno, I just find myself thinking about it. It was a uniquely artistic and non-violent series for its time. All of the dinosaurs and people live in harmony. There used to be a steampunk cyber empire of capitalists who tried to replace dinosaurs with the coolest looking robots you could imagine, but then there was a revolution and they all live in communistic harmony with no real currency. Each according to their need, each to their own ability. All that Jazz.

I'm certainly more normal about it than I am say The Underland Chronicles but I still find myself thinking about those gorgeous communist dinosaur picture books. In another reality, Battleborn won over Overwatch, Galidor never got its budget cut and was actually a smash success, Warner bros actually did something with the TUC film rights, and Kids in the 00s grew up with Dinotopia instead of the Starwars prequels.

I really want to draw tarot card versions of underland chronicles characters, but it’s a very intimidating, work intensive project that doesn’t quite jive w my doodle-making style

[underlandchronicleszine]

would it be possible to join some kind of discord server related to the series? It's been way too long since I read TUC to contribute something meaningful/lore accurate .. but I still want to interact with this project

The project discord is going to be limited to the contributors as it will be the main source of communication between everyone involved in the project.

However, there are discord servers dedicated to TuC! This is one that a few of our mods are part of. We'd love to have you join in there :

If you change your mind about joining the zine, please apply. We'd love to get you caught up to speed and part of a team of contributors.

Glass Princess snippet

(Hi guys :,) I’m finally posting some writing snippets again…this time from my big project!)

This is probably like somewhere in the middle after a pretty heavy event. But I just started working on the rough draft of this scene. So enjoy :)

The scent of smoke haunts our carriage, even all these miles down the road. Between the four of us no one says a word. Matching blank expressions on the two prince’s faces, as they just stare at their respective windows curtains drawn.

The Demon Queen wipes away tears as they clean her ash covered face. With her other hand she clutches her shoulder. Even though she’s wrapped herself in a black silk shroud I know her arm is heavily bandaged underneath.

Cadence’s once bright fire red hair has turned dark with ash. It’s much shorter now, and the ends of her hair are charred.

Would Tawny even care if he knew his own Queen was injured in their attack? Maybe the one that I thought I knew would have, but the real Tawny Smith most likely wouldn’t care at all. Apart from wishing she had died.

I turn my gaze away from Cadence beside me to Niko. He sits across the carriage from me. Slumped against the seat still staring at the curtain. His arms hang limply at his sides, each of his hands palm up on the bench. They’re still stained with his twin sister’s golden blood.

My own hands are covered in ash and several colors of blood. I had tried healing as many people as possible before the king’s guard loaded us up in the carriage. And yet there were still so many people left laying on the lawn of the castle.

Cadence inhales sharply as we go over a large bump. She grimaces and grits her teeth as the whole carriage shakes.

“Seriously Cade…you should let me heal you,” I hold out my hand just inches away from her injured arm.

She shakes her head. Steeling her gaze. “You are kindhearted Celeste. But is honor in underlands to be kissed by fire.”

Evan’s tail thumps against the side of the bench, and smacks his brother a couple times. Niko doesn’t even seem to notice

“An honor? Really?” Evan tilted his head his ears tilted forward suddenly taking great interest in the girl sitting in front of him.

Cadence nods “Yes, well. Many pits of Lava. Lava flow season has lots of fire. Is hard to control where lava goes. No?”

“Fascinating, you guys have your own seasons down there?” Evan leans forward clearly gripping onto every last heavily accented word from Cade’s mouth.

“Yes, there is no Sun to dictate our seasons of course,” She runs her free hand through her hair, stopping at the singed ends of it “we have lava flow season, the shining of the gemstones. Is favorite season, beautiful time.”

“This is after lava flow season?” Evan’s tail starts flicking back and forth faster. Whipping against his brother a few more times.

“Evan,” Nikolas’s tone is dark, almost angry “for the love of gods. Shut up.”

The feline prince glances sidelong at his older brother. Adjusting his position so his tail is on the other side.

“How do you expect us to sit in silence the entire way to the summer palace?” Evan says, though his voice is soft.

Niko doesn’t respond. He never looks away from the curtain covered window beside him.

Venture Bros Rewatch notes: Home Insecurity

Fucking hilarious that Underland is designed like a disney princess villain lair but actually with all the executions.

tiger balm....tiger....bomb.....makes me laugh EVERY time honestly all i can think of when i hear tiger balm

Knowing that there are many kids with amputations in Underland from the child mines, like that is crazy the child amputee rate must be one of the highest in the world. i get that its played for jokes and it was funny, but if we are gonna be serious about all of it this counts and is like. mind boggling

whoo! use of the r slur! the way ive had to fucking campaign in my family to get them to stop using it and then i turn on this show and theyre saying it like every other episode makes me want to hunt down hammer and publick

okay but thats a waste of tiger.....

ik we dont learn this till later but i have questions about underland apparently being located right next to michigan.....PLEASSSSE LET ME SEE THE WORLD MAP IK ITS SO FUCKED UP

Brock's blue shirt is so beautiful on him...wish I could unbutton it off him. Dean and his hover boots, honestly those boots should make a come back

Stupid ass racist costume!

I literally choked on my spit and coughed at the same time Doc coughed at Brock's fumes

Okay I think Rusty is just doing a bit with the whole "big man think you can take me on? i knew this day would come" like seriously, the twins are so fucking silly but rusty is so beyond sarcastic he really is just projecting his own issues onto his kids all the time.

HELPER!!!!!!!!! Him going to take care of Rusty and so comically seeing NEW ROBOT blueprints and packing up a knapsack including a pic of child Rusty and Helper, oh my god it is just the sweetest robot and makes me wonder if there is a similar situation like with the red Helper happening with the whole....human brain.

the henchmen fighting and getting distracted till doc wakes up an slides into the panic room LOL

also i do love the underland footmen look as someone who loved tmnt it looks very foot clan

hank and dean may be a little over the top but they did take care of the scorpion and tarantula pretty handily.

Dean and Hank in the panic room and not even knowing when it was built....like seriously how many memories are they missing, consider they repeated being 15/16 over 10 times

Hank choking out Rusty is SO FUNNY Hank is just trying to help!!!!!!! just send them both to a first aid class you will be better for it doc

Rusty lactating!!!!! Milky king!!!!!

The animation and storyboard in this episode flips between dynamic and very getty stock images which is pretty funny

Dr. Girlfriend getting insulted and telling the monarch to use the phone himself...him trying to get an outside line....god i feel so old.

bigfoot baby!

"GUARDO" you fucking idiot Rusty. "I fell asleep" Okay but have we considered the fact  that you just don't have a head for mechanics and need to switch science majors

THE SNACKS FOR COMPANY. And Monarch apparently seeing the Baron for the first time since college and them trying to kill each other at first in a big dick measuring contest.

"how do you even mix it up! augh its like having my dad do the shopping!" ok i need more orphan jokes from the monarch stat seasons 1 he kills with this

its funny to see bigfoot and brock and steve summers meeting is so funny...considering that they all fuck when brock stays with them after he leaves the osi

"do you know how long 6 million bucks takes to pay back on a government salary!" fucking screammmmmmmmmmm

"lab partnership is a sacred trust" SSTILLLLLLLL want to know about how this happened

The Monarch fucking around struggling with his old ass computer makes me SOOOO nostalgic i remember we had a similar computer in the kitchen growing up.

Dean reading Helper perfectly and Doc going through a slumdog millionaire flashback before emotionally manipulating his mommy robot

One henchman became a hench after the plant closed and he only had a GED. one had a crack addiction and got off it. one (gary) got kidnapped) underland minions are drafted and then executed at 38.

"SASBURGER"!!! GOD "Sasquatch gave me a new life" Brock trying not be grossed out but like trying not to let it show (but only because he thinks Sasquatch is a woman at that point and he's bigoted but pro-str8 people always.

"Go team Helper!"

Jesus I really SSOOOOOOOOOOO would fucking fucking fucking kill for an expose episode on how henching works in the world as a job

all the army men are idiots very appropriate. brock getting SOOO weirded out. It is homophobic but also I choose to believe Brock has never seen a cock bigger than his own and got so horny and emasculated he got wigged out.

First mention of the Guild in this episode about filing paperwork on collaboration which i think is funny

Helper not letting Rusty out is SO funny me and my siblings would do that all the time. Truly, there is a lot to be said about Rusty and Helper's relationship. No other relationship has been as long for Rusty as Helper, who has been there sinvce he was a young boy and has always looked out for him.

Overall this episode is really fun and enjoyable, it does very well with having very silly concepts being treated seriously and then serious situations being treated clownishly. always love steve and sasquatch, altho the vbros design is so............he has a face only steve summers loves apparently. and the conversation on paying back the osi for the bionics was good worldbuilding/commentary on real world disability issues of how disability devices are often very expensive and only work at the behest of whoever made the device. my own cousin had a cochlear implant that worked very well but then he was told it was being recalled and he could get new one and now its works awfully for him

would rate this one like a 7/10. very solid but nothing too rib crackling funny or show pausing overly interesting

TONIGHT: Suzanne announces a new book.

Once again the underland Chronicles fandom takes a massive hit in morale. As the evergreen hope for a sequel or prequel or any bit of attention ever, dinges slightly.

Bottles of water and IV drips have been implemented to maintain the salt levels.

If you or a loved one has been personally affected by the lack of underlands Chronicles news, you may seek relief stations by listening to the most popular podcast regarding the underland Chronicles.

Or sinking your teeth into 10 chapters of a Proposed Sequel Boot. 🤷🏽

Don't suffer in silence. Vent in my ask box today.

Congratulations Hunger Games fans.
