It’s time for yet another newsletter!

It’s been a pretty busy month for both of our creators, so we only have a small handful of things to show off and talk about, but we’d still like to give you this peek behind the curtains nonetheless!

First of all, Thank you to all who have checked out Third Wave on Ao3! Posting all the stories there was kind of the big thing we wanted to do from the start but ended up not getting an account in time to do so in time… we hope that publishing there has helped out a lot! If I’m being as honest as I can be, I’d love it if more people checked out the full story of our characters! As I’ve said before, Third Wave is just the first step into a bigger universe with a set of 5 new bands complete with their own stories and narratives… Of course in doing this, we’ve created an interwoven narrative that necessitates reading everything to see how the plot unfolds. While I can’t really do much to further encourage reading our works, I really hope you all will! It’s been a blast making this story after all!

Now with that said, for those who are fully caught up on the story I’m sure you might have at least a bit of interest as to what’s next. Band Story 2 has a brief intro in the doc, but to further build up to the release of it, I’d like to introduce a new major character!

Liu Huiying is a Hanasakigawa Second Year, as well as the creator and lead Vocals/Guitarist of the rock band “Lunacy”, a band that Sayuki once believed to be a place where her dreams would be safe… until Huiying forced her to leave the band, scarring her dreams forever…

Huiying’s motivations and Sayuki’s past will be a large part of the story of Band Story 2, so we hope you’ll look forward to learning more about them and seeing how they’ll both affect the story going forward! Band Story 2 will release in the fall of 2025!

Now, for another peek behind the curtains, let’s talk about See Batteries!

If you remember from our last newsletter, I teased them as a Celtic Punk Band with a robot vocalist, well… let’s get into the Robot Vocalist part a little more! The Story of See Batteries is based on yumenokessho, the Bandori SynthV’s that are based on the vocalists, and not only does the story of See Batteries canonize the yumenokessho’s to the Bandori Universe, it also introduces a new one, ARIA, the vocalist of See Batteries! ARIA has to appearance of a simplistic Vocaloid when existing in “digital space”, but in real life, she inhabits a robotic humanoid body that allows her to sing and move about! Isn’t she just adorable?

The Story of SeeBee’s is about halfway finished, look forward to it!

As will be the case in every newsletter, we’d like to extend the opportunity for Creator-Specific QnA, which you always have the opportunity to do at any time, we’re just asking you here! Use our DM’s or our Strawpage or however you’d like! We love getting questions!

Now moving on… CHIBI ATTACK!!!

These two adorable chibi’s are of course based on the Bandori ones, and are made by the lovely ghostricked2810 and will be made for our entire cast of characters, including Third Wave! They’re so cute! But uh, who are these two? They’re not part of Third Wave’s story… I wonder…

That’s it for our newsletter, our creators have to get back to spending their Pride month suffering doing schoolwork…

Posts will continue this month but with minimal new content, however, in July things will pick up a lot! I’ve heard talks of some kind of fight…? Might be fun!

Happy Pride Month from the writers of Third Wave!

All the characters we make are gay. We’re gay too. Isn’t that great?

Remember to give as much support as you can to members of the LGBTQ+ community this month, it’s beyond important!

(We will post the newsletter for this month in about a week, there unfortunately isn’t much to share regarding new 3Wave content this month, but we encourage reading the stories we have posted and sending us messages via the strawpage!)

See you then! And again, happy pride month!

Long time no see!

We apologize that it’s been so long since our last update, life sure can be busy!

We’d like to share information more easily with those waiting to see more from us, so to help with that we’re bringing you our first monthly newsletter!

(Ao3 Release Update)

It’s happening! Sorry we kinda went radio silent on it but all our stories are planned to release TOMORROW along with a new artpiece!

There are 8 works, with 1 of them being our Band Story and 6 of them being the event stories.

The 8th work is a short overview of Third Wave with information from our Master Document as well as an event timeline! Like the Master Doc these things will of course be updated when more stories are added!

Here’s what the outline of a Third Wave work on Ao3 will look like!

We are extremely excited for this, as Ao3 will be a much more accessible way for people to read the story! If you’d like to prepare in advance, the Third Wave Ao3 Series will be posted under the account “Dylanjw10” and all future stories will be simultaneously posted there!

(Life Updates)

The number one reason why we’ve been busy is because we’re both college students! And that makes things soooo busy for us unfortunately. While that does mean that we have had to push back a lot of things, we’ve still been hard at work! However… Our Artist, Garphield3, will be indisposed for a considerable portion of the summer 😢 this means that it will be awhile before we post any new stories or art like we had wanted to. But our writer will still be drafting new stories as well as running the social media’s!

(Creator QnA)

We’d like to invite open QnA for questions directed at either our writer (Dylanjw10) or our Artist (Garphield3) in the comments on this Newsletter or this accounts askbox!

Of course we’re always open to this at any time as well if there’s anything you’d like to ask!

(Updates on the Future)

It’ll be awhile before we get to officially share a lot of this stuff, but rest assured there is much to look forward to!

First off, Third Wave Band Story 2 has been fully outlined! It will likely be finished earlier than expected and I can’t wait to share it!

Now outside of that, if you don’t know already, 3Wave is just the first part of a larger project that we’ve called the “BanG Dream OC Universe”, and in time you’ll be able to see this story actually develop into being that! As our larger team is working hard on 3 new bands!

Two of the bands are written by other members of the project, you may already be aware of the Idol Band, Diamond Light, (written by @/__digitaldreams) as the outline for their first Band story is posted on Ao3 and is linked in our strawpage!

I won’t share much about the other band written by my dear friend (@/ghostricked_) so that they’ll be able to introduce them, but I am very excited for everyone to see the stories they both have made, there’s been a lot of work behind the scenes and they’re COOKING!

Additionally, a new band written by me (Dylanjw10) called “See Batteries” will begin production this summer! They’re a Celtic Punk Band that features a vocalist who is a… Robot?!

It’ll be a long time till they are officially shared, but I’m very excited to write them!

(More!!!)

I want to end this newsletter by thanking you all! This project means a lot to us and it makes us very happy to know people are reading it! Though we can’t bring you more of Third Wave as quickly as we wanted, we are dedicated to continuing this story!

We encourage questions and comments on what we’ve done so far, so don’t be afraid to do so! Especially with the Ao3 Release tomorrow we would love to see comments on our work! So feel free!

Once again, thanks for riding the wave with us! Until next time!

The news did come as an unexpected shock... I spent that day with Manami and the rest of 3Wave, I was quiet, but it helped.

My Easter was quiet as well, but in a different way. I’m more devout than my Sister, but she still goes out of her way to make dinner, it’s nice.

“There’s no greater gift than the gift of life… however, I’ve noticed people get annoyed with that answer… so I suppose I should say that I received a roll of stickers bearing Shirayuki’s logo from my sister during my first year of enrollment, I still use them today.”

“I don’t play video games. So I don’t know many Pokémon… but Manami-san has shown me these butterfly looking things called Vivillon, they’re okay… but they start out as tiny worm things called Scatterbug… I like those.”

“I like chocolate almonds, so anything with that flavor or texture is good. A chocolate nut cake sounds like the best agreement for that… but I usually don’t eat cake on my birthday, I ask for cookies instead. Chocolate Almond Cookies…”
