The Ultimate (heeheehoho) analysis of Project: Eden’s Garden Prologue is done. It’s about 1 hours and 45 minutes - so rest assured that it’s fairly comprehensive of the game we have so far.

Project: Eden's Garden doodles!!!

imagine this: wolfgang: he's such a snake damon: *slithers away*

Thank you anon for the lovely idea!

Her favorite type of sweet dream 💜

hi. okay nervous to request this. maybe caregiver damon maitsu headcannons , with a young (but not baby) boy regressor,,, 🤕

hi anon! thank you so much for requesting this (don’t be afraid to send any requests in, i’m always happy to do them!) omg i love project eden’s garden so much <3 everytime i receive a request for it i literally get so excited,, i hope that i wrote for damon well and that you like it! take care and have a wonderful day :D

caregiver damon maitsu headcanons!

•as a caregiver, damon would do his best to always look out for you! i think that initially, he would have to do some research on age regression. after that— he would be willing to take care of you! he just wants to make sure he understands and looks after you properly <3

•he might be a little hesitant the first few times he looked after you, but he’ll quickly get the hang of it! he doesn’t want to make you feel embarrassed and he wants you to be able to trust him.

•if you’re curious about something, he will never turn down questions! if you ask him why the sky is blue or if water is wet or not, he’ll first ask you what you think. he’ll carefully listen to what you have to say before providing an explanation!! (though he tries to put it into terms that make sense)

•he doesn’t use many pet names, but i think he would definitely call you kiddo and dear!!

•always makes sure you’re close to him if you ever regressed in public. rest assured that there’s no chance of you getting lost in a store, or wandering off to another street. he makes sure you’re holding his hand in a crowded area and never lets you wander out of his sight for too long.

•damon tries to loosen up a little around you! your regression should help you have fun and feel safe, and if that means having a tea party with your stuffed animals or coloring on the floor with you... he will absolutely do that! (don’t tell his classmates, though!)

•pretty firm about bedtimes and routines. he makes sure everything is laid out clearly for you, like how you need to brush your teeth before bed and what time you do need to sleep. he likes the order of it, but he won’t be upset if you need some reminders here and there! the only reason he really has these rules is so you can take care of yourself.

•damon would love reading you books! he’ll read you some chapter books from his childhood, or if you were feeling particularly young, some colorful picture books!

•when it comes to physical affection, he kind of treats you like a dad sending his kid off for school haha!! puts a hand on your shoulder and pats your back if you were proud of something. he’ll hold your hand sometimes too, but he doesn’t do much else. (if you initiated anything though, he’d return it without hesitation!)

•damon has a soft spot for you. he probably won’t admit it, but he’ll buy you the plushie you’re eyeing at the store. he’ll notice when you’re down and try to cheer you up. if you’re struggling to reach something, he’ll always grab it for you.

•speaking of which— if you were ever sad when regressed, or you just had a bad day, damon would take extra care to be gentle with you. definitely murmurs something along the lines of, “hey, hey, what’s the matter, kiddo?”.

•he would sit beside you and ask you if you wanted to talk about it, and if you didn’t, he’d just stay by your side. sometimes, that’s enough, and he wants you to know he’s there.

•if you did want to talk about it, he’d try to find solutions to what was bothering you, even if all he can do is suggest things you two can do that might make you feel better.

•damon is honestly a very sweet caregiver— he’s doing his best for you and he always wants you to know that he loves you so very much <3

Morally I do not condone kidnapping students and placing them in a building to be part of a killing game, but damn, the Mastermind really popped off with his aesthetic in Eden’s Garden

Tried to do a chibi art style with Diana from Eden’s garden.

it’s giving flash backs from my VERY OLD art style tbh with the feet.

Spoilers for Eden’s Garden -PLEASE GO PLAY IT-

Damon is up there for one of my protagonist due to main one being that he is probably the closest thing to an actual narcissist protagonist or at least very up himself that if this was a normal DR game…he probably would have likely been the rival.

Like brother thought he didn’t do anything wrong when He started off strong with “Hey maybe we don’t trust each other right away”, bought up few good points that He (Wolfie) can use it to His advantage or how people already has motivation that can cost someone else life but when on a rant on that mainly belittle everyone’s talents wouldn’t improve the world besides a few exceptions along his own because the rest are just useless outside of bring attention when in reality He was setting his expectations on others way too high and saying how He carried the trial so when other members of the cast called him out…He seemly doesn’t realise or in denial about what he was actually saying because he thought he was helping when he did anything but.

Something gonna break this poor boi hard at some point.

Eden’s garden has a great Prologue and looking forward more from the project.

Going insane over P:EG - Diana Venicia Analysis.

Okay so I’ve been doing a series of Essay’s dedicated analyzing Nifast’s “Imitation” art series - which are framed as abstract views into the characters and their role in the story. He also said how we’d only understand them once the game is 100% out, which are fighting words, so I started this series. Firstly I’ll post Diana because she’s the newest one I’ve done. Spoilers for the prologue!!! (Credits to Nifast for the Art LMAO)

Introduction:

Diana Venicia [roaring applause, I am pelt with roses from the audience].

Anyway, Diana Venicia is one of my favorite characters. Point blank. She is also a staple of the fandom. Partly because they love her, and partly because you motherfuckers can’t help but call her the mastermind she is a favorite among the fandom for a potential Mastermind candidate.

In a few words, I think this is bullshit. The main evidence relies on easter eggs in her design, latching onto the whole Beauty Talent = Mastermind trope, or a bad-faith reading of her actions.

Anyway, we are here to analyze her Imitation 「模倣」piece and infer what it tells us of her and her role in the story. Here I would argue we have more to work with with the proceeding page, but that’s something for the actual Analysis.

Diana - An Imitation 「模倣」

The first feature we will notice is the glaring lack of Diana’s chameleon bracelet in Diana's reflection. While one would expect this to be the starting point of the analysis, a more pressing issue is this:  Is the figure without the band the reflection?  This seems absurd, but after looking at the piece, the only indication that there is a mirror is the condensation that Diana is using to draw the heart. This lack of a clear distinction may highlight how these two versions of Diana - one with and one without the chameleon - are slowly blending together.  While the distinction between which is real and which is just a reflection fades, we can still deduce the one without the chameleon band is the reflection of who Diana is.  Now, we can return to this later. It is time to comment on the second feature - the plethora of hearts in the image.  We obviously have the heart being drawn into the “mirror”. This is a deliberate action by Diana, with her likely breathing on the glass beforehand, given its spotlessness otherwise.  There is also her heart necklace and the oddly heart-shaped curves in her hair. At least visible in her reflection, it’s likely she is wearing these on her “real” self. The chameleon's absence seems to purposely be the sole incongruity with the reflection.  So, what does this all mean? The chameleon band - or lack thereof - and the lack of a distinction between the reflection and the physical Diana creates an impression of her losing herself.   The chameleon, while representative of adaptability, artistry, and balance, is also symbolic of blending in - or changing part of yourself to avoid being noticed. I fervently believe that Diana, prior to being recognized, used her talent as a means to blend in with the “popular kids”, using it to blend in herself and perhaps offer it as a favor to them. In this way, the chameleon bracelet, still clinging to her, symbolizes how she has not let go of this part of her: the part that changes her to please others.  The reflection lacking this band also has a message to tell us. A reflection of Diana and who she is- it lacking the band symbolizes her being able to shed this mentality, and being able to actually, genuinely be herself and not place the needs of others above her own. Still, the lack of any distinction between the two in the form of a mirror, makes it clear this will not be an easy journey for Diana. To separate her genuine self from the persona she’s created for her previous social environments.  Now, the second part: What’s with the hearts? This is much more direct. I believe these hearts, which universally symbolize love and kindness, symbolize Diana’s resolve to trust in others no matter what. I say this in part due to the abundance of the symbol in the drawing. That is a simple observation. However, I also wish to draw attention to the act of Diana and her reflection drawing the heart together, copying one another. Even if the both of them are quite literally opposed, and reflective of different images of Diana (the Diana that is molded by others and the Diana that is herself), they are both acting on this desire to trust and befriend those around her. This is further backed up by the frankly relaxed and almost vacant look in her eyes as if acting like this comes naturally.  Overall, this picture shows us that Diana is someone who trusts the wishes to connect to the people around her instinctually, however, this desire has led her to degrade her own self-image - and she is only just beginning to reclaim it. No matter what, however, it is certain that her desire to connect to those around her will remain consistent.  That’s it for the drawing. Now, what can we say for the next page?

Diana - Response

Normally, I have never had to dedicate an entire section to analyzing the “Response” page. However, the response and the details of the chameleons behind it are incredibly evocative and deserve to be analyzed on their own.  The first thing to analyze is the response to the question “What are you?”. On this particular page, the answer is “A change.”  This answer serves as a double entendre. While it could be taken to mean the change that Diana imparts to her clients or anyone that seeks her services, another meaning can be found. As we've already established, Diana has likely, at some point, changed parts of herself to fit in with those around her. In this sense, this change may highlight both how Diana changes herself to fit with social groups, or in a more positive sense, Diana changing her own mindset to be more unapologetically herself.  To have these two ideas coexist isn’t just acceptable but perhaps truly reflective of Diana’s growth, as she is stuck in between the mentality of changing herself for others, and being herself to form meaningful bonds in the killing game.  Another feature to analyze is the two chameleons behind the text. One we can see has its eyes purposely closed. Simply put, this represents the “real” Diana, who hides herself to more easily appease those around her. The other lizard, the one with its eye open, represents the persona Diana has put up, in order to fit more easily with the groups she’s met throughout her life. An interesting difference between the two is that the Lizard with its eyes open - Diana's persona - has scales, but lacks horns. Some lizards and chameleons (almost always male for what it's worth) have scales to defend themselves, and horns to fight over territory.  By including the scales and excluding the horns, we can realize that Diana’s Persona was created as a method of defending herself from others, rather than any attempt to wrestle influence from others, which aligns with her dislike of drama and competition.  Thus, we can finally conclude that the image Diana has created for herself - primarily among non-ultimate's - is one with the primary purpose of being a defense mechanism from the ire of those around her. While, like a chameleon, she wishes to shed this part of herself, it will not be an easy journey and will involve her having to dredge through her persona and anima to decide what part of her is her.

Conclusion

In conclusion, we can realize that Diana is characterized by a few major motives: The desire to see the good in others (likely tied to her pursuit of cosmetology), the desire to appease others (as seen by her chameleon motif and the sweet nothing in her dialogue in P:EI and Chapter 0) and the desire to connect with others.  Of the three, this desire to connect meaningfully with others is the newest, as is seen by Diana having only just recently been “recognized” for talents, and as such being given the chance to stand with equals, rather than have to simply use her skills to blend in with others.  Diana’s primary arc, if seen to fruition, would see her overcome the ingrained idea to put others over herself - while not sacrificing her instinctual desire to befriend and understand those around her.  I do believe Diana is hiding who she is from those around her. However, I do not believe there is any malicious intent behind this. On the contrary, I ardently espouse the idea that Diana is willing to mold and change herself to fit in with those around her. By being among Ultimates, those who see her as an equal rather than someone to be taken advantage of, it is certain Diana will have the chance to be more confidently Diana, even amid the killing game.  To end off, I would like to share the idea of Diana being Damon’s foil [Foil - a character who serves as a contrast to the qualities of another character.] Damon and Diana have almost certainly experienced some form of social isolation due to their talents. Damon is explicitly told to us in his Bio card, and Diana’s can be inferred as it is very possible her make-up skills made her seem more like a tool than a friend to those she helped in her school.  There is also their motive to attend the school, in being surrounded by other ultimates. Finally, I wish to share that I am confident that both of their arcs will be learning how to communicate and connect with the students in the face of the game. Both of their animals are even reptiles!  However, while their motives, arcs, and backstories may be the same, everything else is perfectly opposed. Both wished to be surrounded by Ultimates; Damon so that he could claim the glory and be among those he saw as equals, and Diana so she could be among those who saw her as an equal.  Both of them likely faced ostracization due to their talent, however, this occurred in opposite ways. Damon, ever argumentative, decided to double down on his stubbornness and turn it into a new talent instead of trying to connect with others. Diana, while attempting to connect to others via her talent, only ended up positioning herself atop a pedestal, rubbing elbows with Hollywood bigshots - regardless of her intentions.  Hell, even the fact that both of them are trying to hide who they are is consistent. It is a no-brainer that Diana will act to contrast with Damon - showing how the desire to connect with others will triumph in both of their cases and her death [which I am certain is her being the - not “a” - chapter 3 victim] will highlight the cruelty of the game and motivate the cast to properly unite in the face of the game.  [Note - I didn’t expect the “Diana and Damon symbolize what talent can do to a young person's social bonds and how they can overcome that damage in an opposite yet harmonious way” spiel to be that long. Oops!]

i’ve only watched ~30 minutes worth but damon acts like he kins light yagami SO BAD. also I like eva lots lol.
