So if y'all didn't know, J's va (bblackroses) wrote a song called Mother May I that's kind of J-inspired. If y'all haven't heard it Y'ALL SHOULD cuz it's really good. Here's the link below if y'all wanna listen :) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zur6ZFSN_Ls
this is so true NOOOOOOO
Just got hit with the revelation that Hama, Harada, and Chiba are just Mondo, Kiyotaka, and Chihiro in a different font and I’m not okay

The initial take was indeed bad, mainly because they backed up their claim very poorly. This take is much better, so thanks anon for elaborating. I agree with most of the stuff here, but I wanna add my tidbits too.
I said this under the initial post, and I'm gonna say it again. The claim that Project: Eden's Garden got popular because of the prologue doesn't make sense, since this fangan was popular before that. The announcement trailer got 2 million views, but apparently some people forgot about that. Did the writers use ships to make the game more popular? Yes, which isn't neccessarily a bad thing. But, let's not act like that initial popularity came from only shipping, because it didn't.
We gotta see what the writers are gonna do with these ships, but we as a fandom need to stop acting like these ships are canon. Also, not every ship is romantic. In my opinion, a lot of the ships in this fangan are platonic, but that's just me.
As much as I enjoy the shipping, the writers and the fandom especially can lay off the ships a bit. It would honestly make the fandom more bearable.
Just wanted to add my 2 cents :)
I think the people who dogpiled on the anon talking about PJ:EG ship popularity didn't stop to understand what they were trying to say and just jumped in to attack the opinion. PJ:EG got popular from the prologue, which did establish some characters as pairs and ships. Not to mention the official art. I was baffled by ppl thinking ships don't affect popularity. When you have a ship as popular as Kaimon, fans will make art, write fanfics, talk about it online on various social media, all of which increase PJ:EG's popularity. Yeah sure it's popular because of yk the game but ships have a MAJOR role in its popularity too. If there are people making ship tier lists then of course popularity comes from ships. Almost everyone appreciates the romance genre and it's a popular genre--adding it to PJ:EG will bring in the people who wanna see some romance (even I do if done well). The reason fangan ships will always feel just a little bit forced (at the very least) is because of the long time btwn chapters. People will find a pairing as a potential ship and blow it up as a couple. In the time btwn chapters, the ship will gain popularity and become even more beloved, yet the characters in the fangan haven't had any real interactions to market them as a ship. This is why PJ:EG ships are both forced and give the game a ton of popularity. All Ulysses and Wenona have done is share a room (maybe they did interact and I forgot) yet Ulynona is a massive ship and the PJ:EG team reinforces it through official art and fanfic readings by the VAs. Kaimon is like this except it is basically canon and to me is weird because Damon...drops these weird innuendos towards Kai that felt a bit out of character. Like he has this deep relationship with Eva (I don't ship Evamon either though) but with Kai I don't see that complexity. This is like PJ:EG's #1 ship and it will continue to blow up for a whole year to the point where probably the first things you hear about PJ:EG as a new fan are "wolfgang and eva die ch1" and "kaimon". This is ultimately somewhat of a problem because of everyone attacking ships in the fandom (just like I'll be dogged on for this post, 100%) and because right now, characters like Kai don't exist outside of their ships. I mean it's pretty clear many people see Kai as just Damon's ship material and look past the tidbits of his character we were given. Yes there are people who do care about Kai as his own character. Now imagine this same Kaimon problem but with every pairing that was introduced. I just feel like when they write Ch2, they'd go in and purposely add more of the weird flirty dialogue just to fuel the ships. This is almost a guarantee since after a year of waiting, they'd be "disappointing" half the fandom if no ship interactions happen. PJ:EG ships right now is a negative quality because of this, just...everything that they cause. This shipping problem is even worse than actual DR because of the reasons I have mentioned (not that DR is a good example either).

it's honestly really stupid that the internet was all "the acolyte is a shitshow" but in reality it's not actually that bad. it needs work, sure, but it's not a shitty show objectively. it's just mid, honestly
GO ROSIE 😂
i even came up with the context: it's 80s or early 90s, one of the overlords organised party for other overlords
Rosie just slays in blue i tell you. but she's still doesn't quite understands what's Alastor's deal (and is trying to rizz him last 40 years) (he's dodging it very well)
i'm gonna make little follow-up comic for this!!!! stay tuned
Rosie's revenge
p.s oh no they are just like that other couple of my toh oc........ but platonic........ oh.

I drew @acethehorseishere 's mastermind!Ace 'cause I really enjoy the design ^^
Just wanna mention this.
As a Black person myself, it's great to see characters like Eden and Rose (though Eden is blasian.) Black characters in media are sometimes not represented well (as in they perpetuate stereotypes) but that's not the case with Eden and Rose.
Eden specifically is the sweet, nice, more docile character (though it's established that she's more than that) but that's a rarity to see Black characters in that way.
Rose being the ultra smart but innattentive character is also not something I see in Black characters often.
I love both of them partially because I can relate to them, as a nerdy Black girl myself. My point is that both Rose and Eden break stereotypes of what Black characters can be. I'm not sure if the dev intended on this, but thank you regardless.
Speaking of Black characters in fangans and diversity in fangans in general, I'd like to see a little more (racial) diversity in fangans in general. I'm not saying every fangan should be this way, but I'd just like to see more of it.
This is so true omg. I'm gonna add to this also if that's okay.
Most fangans (that I've come across) are pretty well done/executed. I haven't come across a fangan that I haven't liked from a writing standpoint yet, but if I don't like it, I'll just move on, it's not that deep. i really admire fangan creators and their hard work, and if fans want to hate on them for their creations, then they should leave the fandom and touch grass. The fandom is chock full of people who misinterpret stuff to spread hate anyway. Speaking of the fandom, its toxicity is very similar to that of k-pop fandoms, just on a smaller level.
For Von and all other fangan creators, great job on your work! Don't let the hate get to you. I definitely appreciate y'all's work.
(If you didn't want me to add anything my bad)
a lot of tetro fans have been immeasurably kind but also i think the fangan community is probably one of the least welcoming fandoms when it comes to new creators wanting to showcase their work lol
people feel so entitled to perfection it’s unreal. like sorry man i did not make it for you specifically i just wanted to write a little fanfic for a game i like srry
people talk so much shit and then try to make their own fangan and it dies out in three months because shit is actually very difficult
