So now that the prologue has been released, I want to give my brief thoughts on Project: Eden’s Garden. I’ll try to avoid spoilers, but if you wanna go into this fully blind, now might be the time to check it out yourself. The prologue has been released for download, the playthroughs are up on the main channel, and SHSL Blaze has uploaded their playthrough of the prologue as well. Others will most likely be coming out fast as well. So get on the train while you can to avoid Spoilers.
If you really don’t know if you should check it out or not before reading this, I urge you to please go and see the prologue through to its entirety. You will not be disappointed.
With that, follow the Read More for my brief thoughts on this game so far.
So to get the negative out of the way, I do think that the controls themselves need some work. Mostly I wish we had the option to adjust/toggle controls so that we can adjust it to our comfort, or at least perhaps something that could show us immediately what the basic controls were on the main menu when you first start the game. I struggled to get the controls working even with the download instructions and experimenting. In the end, I had to shut it down and opt for the let’s play instead, which is a rare issue I don’t often have with starting up a game I intended to play. I’ll try again on my next day off when I have more time to really devote to it, but if the problem persists, that might be an issue going forward.
That being said, for a fangame with a very small team doing all this for free in their spare time? It’s honestly still an amazing feat and the team deserves a round of applause for all their hard work on getting the controls to work as well as they did based off what I saw in the let’s play. I think if they give themselves some more time in between the prologue and the first chapter to playtest things and maybe work out the kinks in how the controls are set up, we’ll have something really good in terms of playability.
Also, this might become a bit of an unpopular opinion going forward as more people play the game/watch let’s plays of it, and I do understand that this is just how he is now that the game has only just started and there’s the character development we have to wait for, but I really, really, REALLY do not like Damon as the protagonist as of the date of this post. I do like the idea of a character like Damon being the protagonist, and I have seen it be used effectively in other games and novels. But there were many times where his inner monologue and things he’d say to others made me dislike him more the further in we went, and I was half tempted to just close it out and wait until the first chapter was released (I pushed through because of the rest of the cast). By the end of the prologue, I began wishing that Wolfgang, Desmond, or Toshiko were the protagonist instead. Going forward, the writing for Damon is going to have a lot of work cut out for it to make me enjoy him as a protagonist. Or at least tolerate him as the player character.
And that’s all I really have to say by way of genuine negatives because this is all positive going forward.
Starting with the art and UI because HOLY SHIT. If you didn’t know better, you’d think this was an actual, official Danganronpa game, and I honestly would not be surprised if someone at Spike eventually sees this and goes “hey, we need this team on our payroll”. The design of the characters are fantastic, all of the sprites are dynamic and expressive and on par with some of the best in the franchise. The backgrounds are GORGEOUS and the interface is sleek and clean and easy to look at. The colors are vibrant and it all is very beautiful. AND DO NOT GET ME STARTED ON THE MUSIC BECAUSE I WANT TO EAT IT. IT IS THAT GOOD. Honestly, the art, music, and design alone make this worth checking out.
And don’t even get me started on the voice work because BY GOD. It’s absolute perfection. I don’t think there’s a single voice I don’t like. Mty favorites have to go to Eloise, Grace, Toshiko, Desmond, Wolfgang, Jett, Wenona, and of course, Tozu.
SPOILER: As for the mechanics, they’re more or less your standard Danganronpa fair for the most part. You have the Climax Reasoning, the Nonstop Debates, and the parts where you answer questions via multiple choice. I do also really like that the team decided to do make the purple text something you can utilize as absorb statements. The Pathos Statement mechanic is a true gamechanger and I hope to see it implemented in future projects.
Now, for my brief thoughts on the characters. I will go in the order of how they appear in the VA cast video. I have some thoughts that’ll be more elaborate later, but this is just a brief overview.
Damon Maitsu: I already said it in the negatives section, but just a recap of it is “I hope his character development makes me hate him less”. Good for what he is, but will be a deal breaker character for some people.
Eva Tsukuna: You are either going to become my best girl or my worst nightmare and I cannot wait to see where your character goes. There is something off about you and I need answers. I don’t like you, but I also don’t hate you. You’re in that weird grey area where I need more before I can really decide.
Desmond Hall: We haven’t seen much yet, but from what little we got, I am excited to see how he interacts with the rest of the cast. Please survive at least past chapter 2.
Eloise Taulner: I WANT YOU TO HAVE THE WORLD SWEETIE YOU’RE DOING AMAZING. She better survive or I will be very very very sad.
Toshiko Kayura: I was so, so prepared to list you as my least favorite character and right now I want you to survive to the end. Toshiko my dear, you’re phenomenal.
Wenona: To quote John Mulaney, “MY WIFE IS A BITCH AND I LIKE HER SO DAMN MUCH!” Seriously, Wenona is so much fun as the antagonistic character so far.
Ulysses Wilhelm: Someone get this man a lavender scented candle and a cozy blankie. He needs to SLEEP. I love him.
Mark Berskii: You are either going to be very very lowkey or you’ll make a massive splash. I hope you do a concert.
Diana Venicia: I will be so sad if you die. You are absolutely the definition of a cinnamon roll.
Wolfgang Akire: Oh. Oh, there’s some TRAUMA here. I can sense it. So far, Wolfie is my favorite. I love him so much. I want him to have a big crying breakdown.
Kai Monteago: “If you didn’t like me from the start, you’re never gonna like me-” HOLD IT! I like you. I didn’t expect it and honestly thought I’d hate you, but so far I do in fact like you. You pathetic little meow meow you.
Jett Dawson: Jett, my dear, my darling. You are on par with Akane so far. I want to see more from you.
Ingrid Grimwall: I don’t know if I want you to make me a sword or take my soul and make me into a sword. Your kind heart is as big as your arm muscles. I adore you.
Grace Madison: I expected to hate you, and yet, you are my favorite Asshole in this entire show. You’re the fun kind of Asshole. I love the fun ones.
Jean Delamer: You’re like if Sakura, Nekomaru, and Kaito fused into a single person. You’re as amazing personality wise as your muscles are huge. I wanna see more. Gimme the FTEs now.
Cassidy Amber: Oh, you and Wenona are gonna get along like water and oil and I am READY for it.
Tozu: .....I feel like you’re about ready to jump to the top of my “favorite villains of all time” list and your voice is so..... I just.....I want Tozu to read audio books.
I’m honestly surprised because with ONE exception, I don’t dislike this cast. With the official games, I always have a total of three characters minimal I either absolutely dislike or am absolutely indifferent to. But I think this game has one of the strongest casts in any fangan project. Or hell, in any story I’ve come across as of late.
And that’s about it that I really have to say at the moment. So far, Project: Eden’s Garden is shaping up to be one of the best Fangans in history, and I would honestly not be surprised if it got picked up to become and official Danganronpa title with its quality.
If you haven’t checked it out yet, or you’re still debating on if you should, please do yourself a favor.
GO INDULGE IN PROJECT EDEN’S GARDEN.
You won’t regret it.

My brother and I ordered a pepperoni and pineapple pizza from domino’s but we opened it and it only had pepperoni so now I’m trying to figure out if the employee forgot or simply refused to add the pineapple

Since Tumblr is my self-cultivated happy place, I love the filter features. I love that I can filter not just by tag but also by content because sometimes things aren't tagged.
It makes my experience so much more enjoyable.
#please tag stuff#everyone has preferences#everyone has different tastes#filtering is my favorite feature#i add several a week

people are allowed to not like ships, that doesn’t give you permission to attack them.
#attacking people for not liking a ship only puts other people of liking it#they dont want to be associated with you#everyone has different tastes#if things arent confirmed that still means they go either way…

People sorting ao3 solely by stats and only clicking on fics with a certain amount of kudos or comments, you will not survive the winter, nor the summer, nor at all, *brings out knife,* run
#ao3#fanfiction#because if everyone thinks like that then so many fics that might be great get buried and fall into the void#someone has to read it with no hits or kudos#not to mention sometimes people just have wildly different tastes so you don't know unless you look at it yourself#i put a bunch of exclusion filters and then go by summary and tags and open all the ones that sound interesting to me#if they're bad well easy enough to move on#but lotta good ones hidden in there with not a comment in sight and i must change that#knife tw#?#tw knife mention

Hearing them talk about part 2 is hard though, cause I understand where they are coming from. And I am glad that the creators are happy with their finished product. I think that's important to have as a creator.
I agree that part 2 is for the most part, a logical progression of part 1.
I don't agree that this was the best way to tell it, I don't agree with how they portrayed Joel in his older years. How trusting he was towards Abby and her crew, how much he let his guard down. It's been five years, and certain instincts don't just dissappear in 5 years.
I really feel like they did a disservice to his character there. I think there would have been better ways to get Joel and Abby in that position.
And while I understand Abby I can't bring myself to forgive her. Maybe it's because I don't forgive easily. And to me it feels like Abby became the person she wanted to kill, like how many people did she kill to get revenge and survive. How many people did she rob of their family?
How is Abby different from Joel, or Ellie, in the end. For me these characters became mirrors of each other, and yet narratively it feels like only Ellie and Joel were truly punished for their actions.
While Abby's actions caused all of her friends to die, she was isolated as a result, in the end, it almost feels like the narrative forgives her as Ellie does.
Idk.
I feel like there really wasn't a character I could root for in part 2.
Maybe that in combination with having a ptsd attack, is what gives me such a sour feel on this game. And maybe that's what causes me to reject it.
#ben says stuff#tlou#tlou part 1#tlou part 2#no hate towards people who like it#it's okay if you do#everyone has different tastes

"Not to judge anyone but he isn't even thst hot" my dude that is very superficial on your part. 1. Beauty is in the eye if the beholder. 2. People are allowed to like whatever character they want for any reason
I started out saying I didn't like his character/what he does in the show either, so for me there is nothing appealing about him, it's not just his looks. Especially with so many cool other characters on the show.
But you are totally right that everyone can like who they like!

STOP DRAWING TITS ON XENOMORPHS!! We know exactly what a female xenomorph (a queen) looks like and she's BEAUTIFUL, perfect even, she doesn't need big fleshy mamalian breasts that don't make sense with her biology or aesthetic.
The same goes for penises and vaginas btw, be more creative. If you need a sexual organ then make it make sense with the overall aesthetic, I'm tired of this fleshy, human-like bullshit.
#the same goes for a lot of other monsters but with xenomorphs it's particularly infuriating#the biomechanical aesthetic is so central to the xenomorph's design and (for me at least) a huge part of the sex appeal so work with it#I mean everyone has different taste I guess but it's sooo common that it sometimes feels like that's all people draw#xenomoph#alien#aliens#exophilia#alien fucker#terato#teratophile#teratophillia#monster#monsters#monster fucker#monsterfucker#monster lover#monster kink#alien lover

One of my favorite things about Starker as a ship is how many angles there are to approach the ship from! We've got:
Light: minimal to no age-gap angst or drama, no one has a major issue with the relationship, healthy relationship, usually of-age Peter
Gray: moderate to heavy age-gap angst or drama, other characters concerned about the relationship (or it's expected that they would be,) may or may not be presented as ultimately healthy but it's at least a consideration to the characters because they'd like to be healthy
Dark: we all know what darkfic is lmao. Your grooming fics, your villain AUs, most Starkercest though some of those can ride the gray~dark line, outright unhealthy dynamics or your unrepentant characters/settings where the question of "healthy" doesn't even enter into the equation, etc. etc. etc.
They are all beautiful flavors and I've written for all of them, but I'm curious about y'all! Obviously the lines here can be a bit blurry/subjective, but in general if you had to choose:
#starker#polls#now that the poll has gotten off the ground and I'm not worried about influencing results:#I genuinely enjoy all of these flavors but gray is the juiciest to me#esp. for plotty stuff though my taste can run darker for PWP and short plotty things#like I'd classify YNYD as gray and my Starkercest as dark!#but I live for everyone being emotionally conflicted and having to navigate a billion different emotions and dynamics#so even with darkfic I prefer Still That but on the outright unhealthy end#I read and enjoy darkfic that's full unrepentant and gleeful in its darkness but writing-wise I wanna Grapple#and then I love reading light stuff but most of my ideas in that area are like. post-YNYD stuff haha.#so still attached to that gray-er base!

so hey guys i finished dungeon meshi yesterday and i'm still thinking about it
#ria.txt#i spoiled myself so at first i was like 'this is bonkers wtf are they doing in those last few chapters?????'#but then it was like. yeah. i see#love those ch when it's just clearly putting the squad into Situations#also. izutsumi#what i really liked was how tightly the protagonist and the deuteragonist were wound up in the overall themes#the plot the themes the conflict the characters it was very neatly connected#hence i am also now accidentally invested in whatever going on between laios and marcille#not just platonic not romantic not enemies i just think they work well tgt and deeply care for each other its great watching them develop#it's the leader + most trusted advisor / anxious girlfailure + the annoying freak she's somehow attached to vibes#haha that rabbit chapter with marcille. hahha i was like what the fuck man. it was funny and then boom whump [tears streaming down my face]#those shapeshifter chs were sooo much fun esp seeing other chara's perceptions of each other. stealing that#the changeling ones were great too elf senshi is the fucking funniest he looks sooooooo unserious#marcille's evolving perception with death starting with saving falin and saving the squad and her nightmares of outliving everyone-#-and her dad and her 'temper tantrum' and UGH when at the end she said she was fine with falin not coming back.... WAAA. OUGH.#i think dunmeshi handled the trope of 'prophecy of chosen one becoming king' pretty well and it makes sense why laios is the protag#the worldbuilding is so thoughtful as well i liked seeing different characters with different worldviews interact#very solid and well rounded series wooo#the main 4 has such a fun dynamic together#anyways. dunmeshi au.....#more like borrowing the worldbuilding bc charas are too nuanced for a one to one comparison#ren is like some prince of his own species but he's like 34th in line and no one cares about him so he fucks off to eat monsters#which is why he's both snobbish AND a total freak when it comes to his food taste#false is originally in for the money from ren and plans to scam him but unfortunately the cringefail swag captures her#martyn is Obnoxiously Clueless and thinks he's smart but he's not. he's resourceful but also pathetic and crazy#stress cant cook but she thinks she does so everyone goes (≖_≖ ) when she picks up a pot. they delegate her to killing and chopping duty#the mvp is iskall who keeps on saving everyone's asses and somehow has resources for everyone#i think ren is actually aware false is going to scam him but he has too much money to spend anyway and he thinks shes cool so he lets her??#and somehow she doesnt take the money and run. and goes back to eating monsters w/ the party. everyone is crazy

Er… what’s the ‘Boss’ thing that’s going on with plagiarism? I feel incredibly out of the loop right now
oh there's some blog on here called @/boss that's one of those accounts that just reposts other people's stuff (mostly from twitter) and the posts always get tons of notes but a lot of them are just really basic and weirdly horny 2014 tumblr-esque "come over to my place for sex and pizza" stuff and recently a lot of people have noticed that and started making fun of it. i don't personally care and i don't want anyone to harass the person behind the blog because that's stupid and mean and pointless but i checked out the account out of curiosity and the posts are so generic that i'm just like... completely baffled that they blew up in the first place.
#like everyone has different tastes and all that but when i say generic i mean boring as hell no creativity#its just confusing#and a little bit funny

The only people who truly understand me are my sister and my best friend because they are the only people who have watched the Digimon stage play with me.
No one else understands.
This is my Roman Empire
#I’m in a Digimon mood again#this happens very frequently#noodly#I need everyone to see this image#this is one of my favourite pictures on my phone#and this is just a taste of what this show has to offer#it’s genuinely so good though#these are also the only people who have seen last evolution Kizuna with me#which is a movie that lives in my brain forever#and also the original Digimon movie#which lives in my brain also but in a different way
