LEVI!! HE'S GOT THE MURDERER SECRET AFTER ALL
I'M SO READY
š§µ1 day left until DRDT Chapter 2 continues!š°ļø
gay af
i love it
Thereās like 12 different kinds of tension in this image.
can we also talk about how none of these politicians pictured are radical leftists, and by picturing these people, ted cruz doesn't know what being radically left is
hilarious.
genuinely in hysterics over this image actual united states senator ted cruz posted on twitter
- he watermarked it
- trains run on tracks so the point of the whole meme around who's steering it makes zero sense
- trains also don't have road signs
- i really don't think ted cruz has ever been on a train before
- bernie looks so happy at the front of the train it makes me feel like i'm five and he's the conductor of the train on the children's TV show i was invited to attend a live taping of
- no seriously i don't think ted cruz knows what a train is i think this should be the new "it's a banana what could it cost michael" in terms of rich people being hilariously out of touch with every day reality
- help

facts facts facts. i thought i was the only one who found the headcanons that go against canon weird.
I think itās fine to have headcanons for your favorite ships but if the dev themselves made a statement about their own characters sexuality/orientation then you shouldnāt make jokes about disrespecting that canon.
As someone who is an Unlabeled person, Iām really grateful that Teruko Tawaki is also unlabeled and sports that flag. Itās representation that Iām grateful for because unlabeled characters arenāt very well known in media at all.
My point is. Please donāt bash canon representation because you donāt agree with it. They arenāt your characters.
Itās fine to have your own headcanons, takes, what have you but at the end of the day. Canon is canon.
I get annoyed too when people conveniently erase the fact that David is Bi but not open with his feelings about that fact. That is incredible representation because growing up it is how I felt about my relationship with labels since I didnāt understand my feelings.
DRDT is aimed at an older crowd thatās on the cusp of when LGBTQIA+ wasnāt widely accepted or even legal like it is now.
So representations like Nico being closet NB, David being a repressed and conflicted bisexual man as well as Teruko choosing to be explicitly unlabeled is incredibly important representation that shouldnāt be ignored or overwritten just because you donāt agree with the creators narrative.
My point isnāt to pick a fight with anyone, mind you. I am genuinely just asking you to consider why Dev has written their characters in the way that they have and that it should be respected.
xander is indeed not a good boy (still love him anyway)
hello again drdt community
honestly wondered if someone would do this
Not Qimir being the hottest Sith
Teach / Corrupt
Unpopular opinion:
Kids just don't need to go everywhere, alright? A 4-month-old baby should not be on a boat in Arizona heat, toddlers should not be at a concert, and elementary schoolers shouldn't be in a bar.
If you can't change your lifestyle to accommodate the fact that you have kids now, maybe you shouldn't have kids.
I understand wanting to do adult things with other adults, that's completely valid and entirely expectable, you can do that, but leave your kids with a sitter or something.
Not everyone thinks your kids are the greatest, and not everyone wants to be in an ADULT setting with kids present.
it's honestly really stupid that the internet was all "the acolyte is a shitshow" but in reality it's not actually that bad. it needs work, sure, but it's not a shitty show objectively. it's just mid, honestly
i do this with my kids in daycare lol
nothing funnier than saying "back in my day" in your 20s as if you aren't the toddler of adults

best fangan
When I first stumbled upon DRDT, I didnāt see it as anything else but another danganronpa fangame, a simple derivative of the mainline series created by a admiring fan like all the other Fanganronpas invented (not to put shadow on other fangans, as they are all unique and also level to despair time. the skill and work put into them canāt be overlooked. take a look at Heartless Deceit and Brave Danganronpa for example!!! holy fuck!!!!!!!!!!!!). However, it did not take me long to realise that, in fact, Despair Time, is much more than that.
Danganronpa Despair Time is an amazing creation, a hidden gem with quite an alluring charm to it. What else is there to say? (there is a lot more to say.)
Ever since the prologue, the prelude, the start, the calm before the storm, released, Danganronpa Despair Time has never failed to deliver a beautiful and extremely compelling narrative. It doesnāt take a genius to tell that there has been an enormous amount of effort put into it.
The art, for one, is absolutely stunning. Itās level to the likes of famous games like, for example, Fortnite Battle Royale and Call of Duty: Modern Warfare IV. Both games have multiple artists, unlike Danganronpa Despair Time. The fact that itās just one singular individual working on such is almost unbelievable.
The sprites mimic the Danganronpa style to a verisimilitude, looking extremely realistic. The cutscenes seem to also be similar, yet subtle hints of DTDevās personal style are shown (eg. The lineweight), creating something that cannot be described as anything but perfection. Itās amazing how it works so nicely.
Letās not forget the scriptwriting. The characters are extremely realistic, their struggles, goals and motivations hitting quite close to home for many individuals, including me.
For example, letās take our protagonist, Teruko Tawaki. She is first introduced as someone who has no sense of belonging, not knowing who her parents are and being separated from her only (known) sibling at a young age. This, coupled with her amazing design, displays how Teruko is much more than the Ultimate Lucky Student, much more than simply the main character of Despair Time.
During chapter one, Teruko begins to feel more comfortable around the people around her, enjoying more of her time and even making friends. She builds trust with them, and forges bonds, just like we do.
However, when she meets up with Xander, things start going immediately downhill when he stabs Teruko, causing her to become unconscious and indirectly causing his own death in the process.
Once Teruko wakes up, sheās in the middle of a crime scene: Xanderās now a bloodied corpse, and sheās the main suspect for his murder. Because of this, everyone around her (who, mind you, got along with her extremely well before) began to move away from her.
This is exemplified even more during the first trial, where the spotlight ends up on Teruko, everyone seeming to believe that she was the one that killed Xander even though *he* was the one that attacked her first. Because of this, Teruko ends up flipping out in the middle of the trial, daring the others to vote for her, breaking down in anger and frustration for being betrayed by everyone in such a manner.
In the end, when Min is revealed to be the culprit and promptly executed, Teruko states that she hates everyone and says that sheās never going to trust anyone ever again, moving away.
A lot of people have said that they dislike Teruko for this, but I donāt share the same sentiment. In fact, I think itās extremely realistic for her to have such a change in nature and breakdown. After all, consider:
- Someone she trusted immensely (Xander) tried to murder her and broke her trust through doing so. Infact, Xander was the first person Teruko met, so his bond with Teruko may have been stronger than the others.
- Min may have technically prevented Terukoās death, but she also caused Xanderās and framed Teruko for it, making everyone think that Teruko was the one that killed him.
- Even though Teruko was clearly injured and frightened after being stabbed, the others kept seeing her as nothing but a potential murderer whoās proof of guilt would save their own lives, throwing heartless accusations at her without even letting her defend herself. Teruko had grown to like and trust most of them, so what do you think sheād feel if those people began to avoid her and think of her as a bad person whoād murdered someone out of cold blood?
How would *you* react if this happened to you?
Personally, Iād also react the same way as Teruko, throwing a fit and breaking down, perhaps even in tears. I donāt quite see why thereās any reason to hate her for such if youāre going to do the same thing in her position.
Then again, Iām not implying that Teruko is in the right, either. Especially since what she does in the Daily Life segment of Chapter 2, forcing Charles to take his clothes off and holding J at knifepoint among other things. However, there was a reason these occurred, that being the othersā betrayal of trust. Everyoneās technically in the wrong, and thatās the best part.
To elaborate on my last point in the previous paragraph- humans are not perfect. Pardon me for getting into a bit of philosophy and ethics, but there can never be a truly āgoodā person as there is no true definition of morality, either. For example, someone stealing your copy of Persona 5 Clash Royale Silver isnāt nice, but so is yourself getting angry at them and burying them seven feet underground. Letās all be honest here: Weāve all done something morally questionable in life at least once.
Itās also the same for the opposite end of the spectrum. In evil, there is still a hint of good. Your teacher in middle school may have been painfully strict, but he still had a soft spot for kittens. Criminals of all sorts have harmless hobbies, like gardening or cooking michelin star meals, that do not harm any humans in the process.
Danganronpa Despair Time understands that concept and utilises it with all the characters, not just Teruko. For example, Arei may seem quite rude, but in chapter two, when Arturo threatens Eden, she immediately jumps in to brutally roast Arturo to make him leave, but offers Eden to become her friend. She, like Teruko, is a extremely well-written character with many dimensions.
However, I digress. The point Iām trying to justify is that all of the individuals that make up the cast of Danganronpa Despair Time are beautiful characters that have clearly been well thought out.
Additionally, the story of Danganronpa Despair Time manages to sprinkle in the perfect mix of humour, drama and realism in its plotline and characters. Even if only two chapters have been released, you can tell that the future chapters will also be beautiful works of art. Itās just that sophisticated and fantastic. Iām surprised that Spike Chunsoft hasnāt contacted DTDev to make DRDT a real installment to the canon Danganronpa series.
Ultimately, to summarise, Iād like to reinstate that Danganronpa Despair Time is a gracious, absolutely splendid work of art this clearly has a lot of thought put into it. Itās characters, plot, story- everything, works together piece-by-piece to form an exquisite piece of media.
Iād like to thank everyone that has worked on DRDT- DTDev, Gen, Hydrator, Haru-Suwan, the voice actors, and the translators- for working to create such a sophisticated and sensational video series.
If anyone that Iāve mentioned above is reading this, from the bottom of my heart, I thank you for creating such a wonderful masterpiece. I cannot reiterate it enough. Thank you so much.
