DRDT Event Announcement!!

I hereby bring you the dates and promotions for Teruvid week! Both featured banners were drawn for me by @juicewaaa !

Now with any good event, there are some rules to follow! As this is a ship week based on Teruvid, there will also be some prompts to help you along!

"But Kuro," You ask me, "What are the dates? Because I want to participate!" I'm glad you asked! The dates for Teruvid week will be March 23rd-29th! Here are the prompts and event rules which I'll have for each event that I run this year! I look forward to everyone's hard work!

"Kuro, you have other events planned this year?" Yes! Several! Many are ship weeks, some are singular ship days. Each one will have an announcement when I'm ready to reveal them. Most are DRDT but a few are Another Series. "Are all the dates planned? Yes! All of them! "That's exciting, can we know how many?" Oh sure, I'll drop a list but block the dates~

I will still participate in DRDTTober and for Xanruko week I am a participant, not the one leading it <3

Please understand that four of these events are weeks and the rest are singular days.

I planned it this way since some of my events on this list may not have as many participants and I don’t want those events limited by prompts, so that there’s more freedom for creativity 💟

Anyway I look forward to having fun with everyone!

From a 2021 Q&A:

"Teruko: Secretly she wants to wear girly, cute things, but is unable to afford that kind of thing. She likes skirts.

Nico: Like Teruko, wants to wear girly things but doesn't due to external factors"

Haven't had the mental capacity to draw in a while, but random inspiration struck at 6 in the morning while pulling an all nighter I guess :'))

Song: Mental Funeral - EHLE

[drdtdreams]

Last night I dreamt that Charles and Whit killed David 💀 Charles gave David some sort of concoction that was basically just candy, but it was a lot of sugar all at once, so David just dropped dead

Whit: “Ooooooh my god- is he okay—“

Charles, super sarcastically: “Yes, Whit, he’ll walk it off.”

Who told Xander to kill Teruko?

It seems like by far the most popular fan theory for who told Xander to “kill Teruko Tawaki” is that David did it, because he’s a manipulator and Xander trusted him. But I’ve got a countertheory to that theory, because I don’t really believe it.

Why? Mainly because Xander seems like he would’ve been very hard to motivate into murder. In his words, he “hates murderers”. I’m not sure even the great David Chiem could convince him to murder someone.

Who do I think could convince Xander to kill Teruko, then? That’s simple.

Xander could.

I’ve got a theory that Xander left a note for himself before his memories were wiped telling him to kill Teruko. When he stabs Teruko, he says “I need to trust in myself that this was worth it.” This could mean he needs to trust himself in trusting the person who told him to kill, but wouldn’t it be interesting if he meant he literally had to trust himself?

I just feel like it would really hard for anyone to convince Xander to kill Teruko. Xander, as the Ultimate Rebel, has to believe in his own resolve. If he was convinced at some point that Teruko needed to die, even if he forgot, wouldn’t he still believe his own past judgement?

A semi crack theory to accompany this is that pregame Xander put a message inside of his empty eye socket to smuggle it in. He might’ve seen it when he changes out his eyepatch in episode 3. This is based on no evidence, just my imagination.

But of course, that’s just a theory. A Despair Time theory. Thanks for reading. (Insert relevant meme)

WATER DROPLET XANDER

[saraanzu]

I’ve been rewatching drdt chapter 1 episodes and somehow it’s only just hit me that the motives have so far been a repeat of dr1’s motives… like, I knew the motives had been done before, but it didn’t occur to me that the order was also the same. somehow.

we know that the tragedy happened a while ago in drdt and society has somewhat recovered from it at this point, so it’s likely that the events of dr1 also happened in its universe. a lot of the series’s meta jokes rely on the idea that the show is unpopular and the formula has all been done before, so I suspect this repeating of the original motives is apart of that.

that being said. is the chapter 3 motive seriously going to be a stack of cash again? that’s probably one of the most unpopular motives in the series, and the only character I think it would appeal to is teruko, who already has everything she needs in the school. (maybe arturo is money hungry too, he talks about wanting to charge teruko for his services when they escape, but that’s about it…) of course, the way drdt handles its motives has been very different from dr1, the video motive was never distributed and everyone’s secrets get mixed up. so I’m wondering how the money motive could be subverted… following the logic that drdt’s motives will be taken from dr1, the chapter 4 motive would involve revealing who the traitor is. iirc there’s been no implication so far that there’s a traitor among the cast besides the mastermind, but I think that was the same in dr1, too.

on a similar note, my rewatch also reminded me of how heavy the parallels between dr1 ch1’s and drdt ch1’s cases are. xander/sayaka both crash into the protagonist, befriend them and seem to genuinely care for them but still end up betraying them, attempting a murder, and getting killed instead, the protagonist being suspected for their murder. min killed xander by accident trying to defend teruko and leon claims to have killed sayaka in self defense (as celeste points out, he didn’t need to follow her into the bathroom after she retreated but alright). min and leon both have complicated relationships with their talents and are in denial about their execution, with heavy emphasis placed on their fear of death.

finding parallels between the second chapters is a bit harder though, as we don’t know how drdt ch2 will end. arei and chihiro were both strung up, so maybe the person who hung arei’s body was different from who killed her. if the culprit is levi as people suspect, than he and mondo are both more muscular characters with tragic relationships to their brother(s) who are prone to angry outbursts.

there’s also the Gender Stuff. dr1 ch2 has themes of toxic masculinity and chihiro “hides their gender” (not saying I approve of how that was handled, but unfortunately that’s how the narrative frames it), and in drdt ch2 we learn that J, a tomboy, has been hiding her identity and her more feminine birthname. we also learn in her FTE with arei that her mom forced femininity onto her and this resentment lead to her developing internalized misogyny and hatred towards femininity in general, not just in regards to herself. there’s also nico being outed as nonbinary and this leading to violence, which I suppose parallels how chihiro’s secret threatening to out their agab lead to their death.
