Art dump of all of the art I made on an old magma board and posted on the account I accidentally deleted (still salty @ myself for that lol)
I'm a big fan of @talkativeanonymous's mastermind Whit design!! so I redrew the silly Whit gif from the episode 4 end card :3
have some alt versions bc I'm indecisive AND! transparent little guys so you can make him sit anywhere!!
Spoilers for drdt chapter 2 episode 6!!!!
So uh I noticed something about both episode 4 and episode 6 WWAAAYYYY back when episode 6 first came out. I honestly thought about making a post about it but social anxiety and all that shit. I also wasn't quite sure if anybody else had talked about it before, but since I haven't seen anyone mention it, ig I'll point it out. Eight months later.
Back in episode 4, right after Teruko talks to Arei, Teruko starts talking to Charles. Now, they have a silly little convo, some banter here and there. But there was one piece of dialogue from Charles that stuck to me.
"You make fun of me when I can't cook, and you make fun of me when I can. There really is no winning with you, Teruko."
Now, I want you to remember these two lines. Especially the first one. They might seem like nothing, but they will be important.
Ok so flashback to episode 6, right after Ace wakes up from his beauty sleep. Once Ace leaves, MonoTV enter the room and tells Teruko and Eden to leave. When asked as to why they need to leave, MonoTV prompts this response:
"You complain when *you* have to do chores, and you complain when *I* have to do chores! There's really no winning with you, Teruko!"
OOOOOO SOMEONE IS REPEATING DIALOGUE!!! SOUND THE ALARMS!!!!!
The similarities between the first sentences is shocking. Sure, they are about different things and use different words. Yet, they give off the same feeling and seem to have the same base. And don't even get me STARTED on the second sentence. They are literally the exact. same. thing. Now, this could be me overanalyzing every single bit of dialogue and every single aspect and design choice in this series, as I do. BUT this isn't the first time "dialogue repetition" has appeared in this series. A good example is in episode 5, when Arei breaks down. Arei says "I wanted... I just wanted to..." which is a direct paralel to Min's words in episode 12. Hell, Teruko even goes as far as to point out that "that pitiful crying" reminds her of something or someone.
This could be possibly drawing a paralel between MonoTV and Charles. Though, we don't have a lot of evidence for that. The only other evidence that we have is the detail that Charles definitely has had some sort of traumatic experience with dogs and MonoTV looking like a cat, yet stating that it's a dog. And that could also be used to link Nico and MonoTV together, considering the whole "cat theme". So that's why I don't have that much faith in it. Yet there's also the fact that Mr. Charlers has had a couple of interactions with MonoTV as well. Though, I am still very interested in this odd detail. I, personally, will be delusional and use this as "evidence" that Charles won't die in Chapter 3. If you guys have any other ideas, then... Say them? Or not if you don't want to. I literally took 8 months to post this, I am NOT in a position to tell you to talk about what you think
Here DRDT fandom I brought you food
What do we do when we don't know what to do in life?
That's right
ACE ATTORNEY / DRDT CHARACTERS AS THINGS SAID IN THE DND CAMPAIGN IM IN SO FAR (will reblog with more after every session if i remember)
SPOILERS AFTER THE CUT
David: ...so the two cities might not come to arms. Min: I don't have arms.
Klavier: Do you want a soothing tune? You seem on edge. Trucy: What's he edging to? (trucy would have this kind of humour fight me on this)
Teruko: It's 3AM, what horses are awake? Ace: I don't know, nocturnal ones?
Klavier: We need some dramatic music for this moment. *plays the super mario bros theme*
Barok: Woohoo! I'm racist!
Manfred: You can't trust poor people.
Ace: Levi's not got feelings so he doesn't matter.
Ema: They're a bit ugly though. I mean you are a twink, so...
Apollo to Klavier: Aren't you at 9 as well? Ema: Mentally, he is.
Ace: Levi can't fit through the door.
Teruko about MonoTV: They're a bendy bit of metal.
Manfred: You don't want to touch her because she's a poor person.

(the ones abt levi not having feelings or being able to fit thru a door are bc that player is a war-forged monk so is a big lump of metal as we affectionately call him) (im so sorry if these are so ooc augh)
Okay so I thought of this at like 1 am-
Welcome back to yet another episode of:
Mage’s probably incorrect DRDT theories!!
Okayso- Imagine if there wasn’t a mastermind. Aaa wait i know it sounds strange but like- It’d explain how incompetent MonoTV is, if it’s just an AI working by itself- Technically by that logic it’d make MonoTV the mastermind. Or the mastermind is the DR-Dev or something lol but probably not-
Uh- I doubt this is true, mostly because someone had to have come up with the idea for the killing game to start in the first place. So then in this theory someone would have created the killing game and then left MonoTV to run it- Which means technically that random person would be considered the mastermind. Or ‘the most mastermind-y’ in this situation.
yeah this is a stupid theory but shh i thought it was interesting
My predictions for the rest of DRDT!
(mostly my general thoughts after this ep)
(Spoilers for Ch2 Ep16!)
Okay so- First off, Levi’s fate!
If he doesn’t die from this, then he’s almost certainly going to die from trying to assists somebody else. As mentioned in the voice trailer, he’s willing to do anything to help his classmates, even if it involves him getting hurt. I can see him dying without anyone specifically targeting him, or someone being targeted because they know Levi will save them. Although that might not be so reliable depending on the recovery time needed…
Okay, next up Arturo- He’ll probably finally leave J alone, busy with making sure Levi doesn’t, y’know, die- Plus the whole breakdown he had in the trial, and his secret being revealed.. He’s gonna need some time, I think-
Teruko! Ohhhh my god where do I even start with her- She won’t die, obviously. She’s told us that multiple times, we’ve seen the proof, there isn’t a way that she can die. And that’s her curse, more than the bad luck is. So she could hypothetically get away with murder, although I don’t think she will actually kill somebody. She could get away with it, since she’s like- one of the only competent people in trials, and all it takes for Charles is for him to either be murdered or witness a murder, and he’s unable to assist. So Teruko is the only one the people here are relying on, which leaves them vulnerable if she is the blackened. Also- Teruko finally broke down and cried! It makes sense, after what she’s seen, and what she’s ended up inadvertently causing- The voice actors for Teruko and Ace (and levi) this ep >>> The new Teruko sprites were so cool, and I’m pretty sure I saw one that mirrored Min-
And now- MonoTV!! I don’t know if my theory about there being no mastermind is accurate, but after this episode- It could be! And so I’ll take that- Wasn’t expecting it to sound like Mai, at all, but that’s really interesting- Pretty sure XF caused this killing game, or at least created MonoTV-
Whit! His new sprite is fascinating considering he has no other serious sprites- And his concern for Charles, too! (..also, more fuel for the time loop theorists?) If Charles dies next chapter.. Whit will either completely break, giving up the happy persona he has, or, he ends up going so far into coping that he ends up going manic in the trial- Either way, fun development for a guy who’s only really made jokes or known a concerning amount of things about hanging-
Charles! He- isn’t doing well right now, since he saw Levi’s injury- Whit did attempt to shield him from that at least, so points towards the Charwhit (platonic or romantic, whatever you prefer) dynamic developing further! If someone like Teruko was going to commit murder, she’d probably go for Charles first. Since he is the only one besides her that really helped in the trial, and if he hadn’t gotten involved after ep11, everyone would have been executed by now. Definitely the biggest threat if Teruko is the blackened. But she might not even want to take him out if she commits a murder, because after all, she won’t die from an execution-
And finally- Ace Markey! The blackened himself! hhhh oh my god where can i start with this- Ace still cares about Levi! He knows that it’s pointless, he was searching for any reason to be mad at him, even if it made him a hypocrite for condemning another murderer. But, even after that was revealed- He was willing to get executed so Levi wouldn’t die. He yelled at Arturo for saying that he couldn’t save Levi, for being a coward, and isn’t that ironic- Also! His friend’s name gets (re)revealed! After the QnA where his name was first revealed was deleted, Taylor’s name makes an appearance on one of the gravestones in Ace’s execution! I loved the fact that his execution was themed around his fears, since he was established as a guy who had, well- a lot of fears, since the first episode he appeared in. Definitely more interesting than the cliche of ‘horses’ (not that there’s anything wrong with that idea at all-) Uh- I have a lot of thoughts about Ace rn but I’m way too tired rn to type them all out- I’ll probably add it to my p2 of this!
Okay so- I’ll probably put the rest of my thoughts in another post, since it’s 2am for me right now-
(i will be so surprised if anyone reads all this im so sorry it’s long-)
