Spoilers for Chapter 1 and the leaks

by the way, sign the petition to blacklist Faza if you haven't yet.

i would really love to chat about the eloise and grace parallels actually because i VERRYYYY strongly think something is gonna happen between those two at SOME point. something bad is gonna happen i know this in my heart and soul. here is my prediction/prologue and chapter 1 analysis :)

Imagine the next day with both of them in silence torn by the loss of the people closest to them in the killing game. Ingrid wants to desperate comfort Damon, but she can't even pull herself together properly anymore. Both aren't even fully dressed like they usually would be, it took them enough effort to get out of bed. They only have their collared shirts, pants and shoes on. Their hair is messy and unkept and it's obvious they have been crying without a wink of sleep. Images of Kai and Toshiko's last moments practically branded into their memory, unable to unsee everything. It's just them left in the dining room, there's nothing in front of them to eat or drink; their bodies only moved out of adapted routine.

It gets too much, Damon reaches out first surprisingly. His body leans limp against her, his hand gripping onto her short for a lifetime. Ingrid barely snaps out of it to realize what's happening. When she does, she couldn't stay strong anymore and breaks right in front of him. It's barely a hug, more so them leaning on each other and grasping whatever keeps them grounded. No words were exchanged, however the shared pain and trauma was heard in that silence.

And then Ingrid dies next. Her body was barely recognizable, it took the tablet to show that Ingrid was the mess all over the walls. Damon stared at it, locked into her portrait and her smile. That warm, supportive smile that was never faked, only strained after a while. He slowly dreaded to realize that he was forgetting her face, forgetting that warmth she had even when she was at her worst. Would they really be friends if they weren't trapped?

and when they aren't put in those positions they develop a lot more healthily, if you know what i mean. like, wenona still isn't seeing ulysses as a friend and is pretty detached from him. he's just the best person in the class for her to talk to because he isn't stupid. she doesn't need or want friends, but ulysses is a pretty good acquaintance. he's passionate and serious and deserves to be an ultimate in her eyes, so they're alike like that. she wants his company because she could genuinely use someone to talk to that doesn't just want to push and shove her around for their own good or brag about her. he's actually respectable and nice to be around. ulysses absolutely still sees wenona as a friend, though, and is much more into her than she is to him. and he thinks that they're seeing each other in the same way because she's actually bothering to spend time with him, and talk to him, and whatnot. he wants a friend and she seems to be that for him. and she's a good person to be friends with! she's confident, and extremely hard working, and just all around amazing. he wants to impress her and prove to her he deserves to be her friend, because he's desperate to not be alone anymore. she's great and actually gave him a chance to be her friend and he doesn't want to let that go.

i think that they end up teaching each other different things depending on the situation, too. in the killing game, wenona teaches ulysses that he's also powerful, and that he doesn't need to let everyone walk all over him and he can make them respect him. outside of it, i think she teaches him that he's very smart and capable, and if that's not enough for people, that they aren't worth his time. and that he doesn't deserve to be treated like shit either. I think the first comes from her genuinely believing in him, but also wanting to mold him into the perfect lackey for her, cause what use is a doormat? but it would actually help him to stand up for himself and recognize his worth. and the second comes from her realizing that he's really trying hard to impress her when it's not necessary. she knows he's a good person and other people should see that too, rather than only his faults. they should give him the time of day and he shouldn't tolerate them if they only use it to mistreat him. in the killing game, i think ulysses teaches her that she needs to treat people more like people and less like pawns. and that she ultimately doesn't benefit from doing it no matter how good she thinks it is for her. whereas outside of it, i think he teaches her to slow down and appreciate the people around her, to make connections outside of just business. the first is really through her realizing that she fucked up with him. that she's been frightened and hurt by losing him and realizing that it was partially her fault. and that she's not going to get any chance to mend that with him and go back and say hey, wait, i like you as a person too. i wouldn't mind being your friend too. it makes her more careful and considerate of others that she still has. the second is kind of her realizing through him that she doesn't mind having friends and they aren't stopping her from her own goals in any way. there are actual genuine people out there who will appreciate her beyond just her accomplishments and money, who want to live and laugh with her. who she cares for and who care back. so she does eventually accept ulysses as being a friend, and takes on more friends in their class.

give me ingrid failing to protect toshiko and having to deal with the aftermath. give me more depth in their relationship than older sister/younger sister: more about toshiko trying so hard to look mature only to not be taken seriously and forced to have ingrid watch over her all the time. more about ingrid who looks big and strong but is still so young, only a month older than diana, yet still carrying the obligation to protect toshiko with her life if necessary. what about potentially both of them secretly wanting to be like the other - toshiko, wanting to be taken seriously and respected and relied on even at a young age, and ingrid wanting to be seen as just a kid for once, protected for once, instead of being the protector all the time?

Regarding the future of Project: Eden's Garden:

I say rather than letting ourselves be distracted, go spend your time signing the petition and do some good.

(serious post—cw p3dofilia, gr00ming)

please keep in mind, that as i write this, i am just a 16yo who is really disturbed by the situation and is running on pure adrenaline as i write. do not send hate my way. i’m giving my opinion. please support the victim and help bring the truth to the light. sorry for all the writing.

the situation.

i woke up the morning of march 31st (today, as i write this post,) disturbingly greeted by the news. we all know what that news is.

faza, mark’s FORMER vo (which, can we stop saying mark’s vo? he isn’t his vo anymore. he’s a disgusting piece of shit.) had been accused of grooming a minor and even CONFESSED to doing so.

my heart dropped. i genuinely was so disgusted and felt like i was gonna throw up. i’ve been feeling this way ever since i read that. i am 100% nauseated by the actions of this GROWN, KNOWING MAN and i am deeply ashamed to have ever appreciated his work.

i immediately read the google doc—i don’t know if they have a tumblr, but my friend nova on discord, the owner of pjegcord, shared it to the members. i will be sharing it below. my heart shattered—the fact this BOY in a MAN’s skin had the nerve to do that to someone as young as 15. that’d absolutely sickening. what really got me sick, however, was sozzay.

sozzay. sozzay is project: eden’s garden’s creative lead if i recall properly. i don’t give two shits what their title is anymore. sozzay knew about the grooming and chose to protect faza’s reputation by stayint silent and by doing so, taking incredibly inappropriate action towards such a severe matter.

never, absolutely fucking NEVER should a situation of grooming, pdfilia, or any sort of child-adult relation be swept under the rug. this is revolting. it doesn’t matter if you ‘didn’t know how to handle the situation’. use your fucking brain. this was so upsetting to read.

sozzay swept this under the rug for 4 YEARS. 4 years. that’s sick. twisted. despicable.

i could go on and on about how this is just straight up shit and list out the timeline of events, but i’d like to address more my take on it because i feel everyone and their mother knows this story by now. if you wish to know more, again, the docs will be attached.

what i think about the situation (as a diehard p:eg fan.)

i’m nauseous. my stomach hurts, my body has been nonstop trembling the whole day. this really fucked me up. i’m so incredibly disgusted with faza (MAINLY), sozzay, and upset at the way the team is handling this.

there are some important things i’d like to dish out. please take the time to read them. or don’t. i won’t notice.

regarding project: eden’s garden (MAIN POINT)

my main point. this was the whole reason i wanted to write this, really.

with the current situation, i’ve seen a roaring uprise of fans saying, ‘this is bullshit! i hope they cancel the game now!’ or, ‘wow, i can’t believe eden’s garden has turned into the new tetro. i hope they cancel the game now.’

no. let me just say, NO. this wasn’t the fault of anyone else (as far as i’m aware) besides faza and sozzay. the team found out as quickly as we did. the voice actors found out as quickly as we did. one situation should not be the downfall of a wonderful game.

yes, they need better pr and hr. that is a strong point i agree with. they handled this situation so terribly, and it’s so frustrating. to fans who have seen the same poor moderation during february frenzy, we share the same annoyance and frustration.

however, much like how the project had been handed over to a new team, i believe that if it is necessary, it should go to another team instead of getting cancelled. to the fans saying ‘chapter two would have never come out anyways, just cancel it!’, you are the same people who criticized people who said the same thing before the conflict. do not start. this project can be fixed—and it is not reliant on one man’s grave mistake. so many fans—me included—find so much comfort in this project and really just wish it the best. personally, i’d be really upset and disappointed if the project got cancelled, because this project is so well written and done better than the actual danganronpa. it made me fall in love with fanganronpa and danganronpa. this project made me laugh, smile, cry, and want to punch a wall. it was so incredibly executed. do not use this controversy as a reason to hate on the team for their progress speed. it is incredibly hard to build a game. speaking as a director of one.

additionally, please STOP COMPARING IT TO TETRO. tetro should not even be in the conversation. the video series was ai slop, the creator is a demon on earth, and multiple people in the team were terrible people.

tetro was doomed from the start. project: eden’s garden should not be compared to that shit of a project. it was made with love, time, no funds, and patience. it was made with a dedicated team who cared about making the game good—not about a team who cared about raking in money like von’s project. it is not comparable in the long run. it was made so carefully, and is honestly disrespectful to equate it to an ai-generated series.

again, however, this is just my opinion. if you disagree, i really can’t do much about it. everyone is entitled to their own opinions. however, please do not go around slandering a game myself and so many others love and ESPECIALLY please do not slander the team or the voice actors. they are just as mortified as we are, if not more.

regarding faza.

please, again, as i have stated above. call him the FORMER vo. he does NOT deserve that title. if faza sees this—i hope you know there’s a special place in hell for you. you’re a disgusting THING that doesn’t deserve to take up air on earth.

regarding the victim.

my heart goes out to the victim, and i’m sending the biggest hug and support to them. nobody deserves this. i hope they are doing much better now and have gotten adequate support to deal with this. to anyone reading this: if you are in a situation similar to this, PLEASE get help. it is not too late to find support. you can break through the grip of someone as disgusting as faza. you are strong, you are loved, and your voice will be heard.

regarding the team.

first: FUCK YOU SOZZAY. this was shitty on your part. hiding it for so long—you KNEW what you were doing. don’t even try and debate me on that. everyone knows. everyone with a functioning cerebral cortex fucking knows that, sozzay.

second: the team…what the actual hell are we doing here? the same cowardly behaviour we had during february frenzy, when people were hurling death threats at eachother and racist comments at eachother. the cowardly ‘um, we’re sorry, we’ll just get better moderation and close the chats!’

the fuck is that? and to see how minimally you handled the grooming situation—really? kicking faza off the team is the bare minimum. do more. we are PISSED. you have betrayed the trust of so many fans, and this is why your project is in flames right now.

sorry i’m hurling so many curse words and denotative language. i’m so incredibly upset by the unprofessionalism the team exhibits. please, for the love of god, if they continue with p:eg, GET HR AND PR. this is insane.

end.

in light of the recent faza situation, we have to remember a few things.

1. while i don’t like the use of the word “allegation” juvey most likely used the word to not get sued. that happens a lot with projects like these.

2. stop parroting the major staff (or even the va’s) knew. people like boyan, nifast, robby, snowy, sabrina, anthony, and dakota had no idea this was happening until now. that’s how under wraps this was.

3. don’t harass the va’s and dev team members that haven’t responded yet.

@carolynnareaperarchive !!!! I told you I would tag you when I drew ingridamon for you because it was part of your request. I didnt have time to do more but I did TWO DRAWINGS YAY!

Even though these turned out rather silly, I think theyr'e cute! I really wanted to add a little sweet kiss one, because I feel like I personally yearn for kiss art of my rarepairs way too much 😭
