i’ve just scrolled for five minutes wondering why my feed was all drdt posts most of which i’ve already seen then i looked up and realized it was because i was i’d forgotten to leave your profile </3
WE love drdt 🥹🥹🥹 and ty guys im glad my tumblr is still living strong as i post like once a month ❤️🩹
i feel like there is So much untapped potential in ch. 2 Rosenico .. the thought of rose sifting back through vivid memories of them just to pick out what she missed, what was suspicious, what could have been a sign.. very Yummy !!! and honestly, while i do believe nico cares about rose to an extent, it is not the extent that rose believed it to be in my opinion, similarly to ace and levi. I don't know how well i would ever be able to elaborate on this,.,. But surely someone understands ?
i feel like it would be delicious for rose to recognize that much of what she assumed was there just wasn't. .. drool. I feel like she should kill them

im so mad ulysses actually died in the worst way possible in chapter 2 and im even more mad that pjeg had to end this way when it was so easily avoidable. rip pjeg
I sincerely apologize for the lack of content during the past few years. There are some reasons I am not working on DT as much, that I do not want to explain right now. But I am still working on it.
I believe I can finish the ch2 bonus episodes within the first half of the year. Here is a small preview...
Thank you for your continued support over the past 6 years.
Hello, it's been a while since I wrote one of these, hasn't it? This is a long update post about the behind-the-scenes of chapter 3 work and other things.
TL;DR: I finished writing the first draft and am working on proofreading.
About the progress
I finished writing the first draft for all of chapter 3, as well as the bonus episodes of chapter 3. I've also written the first draft for some other stories that I would like to release before chapter 3: bonus episodes of chapter 2, an interlude about Teruko's childhood, and an additional thing.
The next steps are to proofread all of these scripts. Please keep in mind that for me, proofreading is also a rather long process. For chapter 2, the time spent on proofreading alone exceeded 6 months. I apologize, it seems like it's rather slow. But also, please keep in mind that the amount of script to proofread is a bit. The combination of everything is several hundred pages. I'm surprised I wrote so much… I'm worried that some of it is too long.
Thoughts about chapter 3
It's very long!
Hopefully not too long!
…Sorry, there's not much else I can say without spoiling anything!
It's longer than chapter 1 and chapter 2, but not longer than both of them combined. That's about as much as I can say right now.
There are no guarantees on this, but I think that this might be the longest chapter in DT, and the rest will be shorter. I think in general, chapter 3 of Fangans are longer… That's just my guess, though.
Future plans
Work on visual assets will begin after proofreading, so once that begins, I'll have more interesting things to show you as previews. Currently, I don't have anything I can show…
I'm changing the program and method with which I use to produce episodes, so I hope that the end result is that I will be able to make them more quickly and efficiently than in the past.
I will definitely do another round of FTEs before chapter 3. Some time in the future, I'll put out a poll asking for what character pairs you would like to see an FTE of. Think about it carefully in advance until then!
I may start thinking about hiring additional staff. I may need art assistance, especially for the Argument Armament, Closing Argument, and Execution, because these things took a lot of time in chapter 2 to make. (It would be nice to have an animation assistant as well, but finding someone like that is probably out of the question…) There is the appearance of additional side/background characters, so additional voice actors may be needed.
Well, there is no guarantee at this point in time for either of these things. Working with people is overwhelming, so I'm unsure about it... It's just something to think about.
Lately, I feel like I want to remake the prologue. The quality is low, and many things have changed since 2020, so I feel like it no longer reflects the rest of the story well. However, I have a lot on my plate right now, so I'm not sure where I'll fit in the time to do such a thing.
Other notes
I would like to post more small content, like illustrations and comics, during this hiatus, but working on chapter 3 is very busy and unfortunately it's hard to find time to work on these things. Still, I do my best to post something every month or every two months. Please continue to keep an eye out for it.
Music videos aren't planned in advance, and they aren't part of a greater plan of the story. There is no such guarantee that every character will get a music video, or that all MVs follow some such theme, or something like that. They are just things I make on a whim because I like a song. You can consider them like doodles I post to social media.
Closing thoughts
It will be a long time until the release of chapter 3 is ready, so I am deeply thankful for your patience at this time. If you have the patience to wait until then, I am grateful. But even if you lose interest in DRDT during this time and move on to something else, that is alright too. As long as my works were able to bring you happiness at some point in your life, then I am grateful nonetheless. Please don't worry about these things.
Even now, I'm really surprised that it seems like there are a lot of people who are into DRDT. I'm very honored! Thank you to everyone who has supported me, and to everyone who will continue to support me. I'll continue to work hard on DRDT!
