Hello, everyone! Hopefully this isn't too late, but here we go.
Welcome back to the poetry club!

Word of the thread is "vault"!
Alternatives are 'mystic' and 'earth'.

So you may be asking yourself "what is this"? Similar to the activity between Yuri and Natsuki in Act One where they both write about the word "beach" and compare their poems, we do the same! Basically you take one of the words and write a poem with it as your theme or topic. You could also use it as your inspiration or something similar, but again, that's up to you!
Everyone is more than welcome to join in and practice one of DDLC's main themes. It's really fun, I promise! And whether you decide to write or not, it would be really great if you guys replied to a few of the poems posted. A lot of work goes into them and they mean a lot to people, so I'm sure they'd all really appreciate it!
Well, get out there and have fun everyone! I'm looking forward to seeing what you can do!

I love Monika!
Monika!

Remember, Sayori is always here for you

I want Mama Yuri to teach me the birds and the bees!

youtu.be/UFhrMp_fpWU

So I haven't been here in a week or so, what's up?

This is... okay, I dunno?

Natsuki!
How are you lads holding up tonight?

Sayori!
I'm fine

>Practice anatomy so I can draw my Doki
>Spend all day trying to get it right
>Still look like shit, friend (who's an actual artist) points out all of the issues in a glance
How do artists hone their skills properly.
And more so, how do they get the motivation to keep going on.

BUT HEY

Daily reminder that Veeky Forums belongs to the dokis!
That was just a hint that the promised day is coming soon!

of all videos to choose from you chose the one that was recommended to me, i should watch it maybe

>last thread #396
>this thread #398
for fuck's sake the next thread is gonna be #343 isnt it

youtube.com/watch?v=nL06he43t3E

sayori!
incredibly tired of living but forced to keep going!

I like this voice a lot better for Monika than the one in 'Your Reality'
I dunno; it just doesn't sound like a voice that would come out of someone who looks like Monika.

The mass dream reporting was the first sign that it nears. The walls between our realities are crumbling. Who knows what the consequences of our actions are, but who cares.

We'll keep skipping with increased rate until the universe is reset

>That picture
You sure, user?

I feel, keep your head up though. Things will get better eventually so keep on trucking, i believe in you.

>Waifu Wars
With the existance of both Sayori and Monika, that's impossible to not happen user...

I'm replaying the game just to get the scenes with the other girls

I can plain skip everything after deleting monika, right?

>Project Libitina comes out
>Seemingly has no connection outside of subtle character design references
>Transfering over Monika's .chr file gives her her memories from Doki Doki Literature Club, unlocking new dialogue and letting you save Yuri's equivalent character at the end of the game
>This continues to the next game
>All of Salvato's games become stealth sequels where you slowly save every girl

I agree

I'm going to hug my wife!

>tfw your OC got posted
Sure, I might be the creator of the Buffsnek math screencap on /xcg/, but man does it feel special.

So ddlc, who's your doki and what time did you wake up?
>Sayori
>7:00 P.M
I don't think she'd be very happy with me.

is that a hecking JoJo reference?

>Last thread # was 396
>This thread # is 398
What is this Mickey Mouse bullshit I see before my very eyes?

Monika!

>sayori
>11:30 am
makes sense

as gimmicky as this sounds I think I would unironically like it

>Natsuki
>9pm
Fucking help me

OP just wants to be awake for 400

Monika.
11 AM, but I didn't get out of bed till 1 PM.

> inb4 Salvato is hidden Kojima
> Project: Libitina = Death Stranding

Holy shit yes. Stop 'n' Swop 2.0

Practice and study, user. These kinds of things take time and a bunch of trial and error, to the point where normally people argue it takes about two or so years for most people to get a fairly competent level. Though this is assuming a whole bunch of shit. Depending on your approach it can easily take a year, or three.
Just keep at it and put in the hours.

As for motivation, it varies. All I can assure you is that no one's burning with motivation all the time.

Looks like (((americans))) don't want #400 to be in Euro hours :^)

As sure as I am that I want to die, user!

School backyard = the real Doki school?

QUICK DL AND REPOST ALL THE LIBITANIA STUFF BEFORE DAN REES OUT AND REMOVES IT (everything below the DDLC images)

NONSENSE WORDS TOLD TO A GAY PRIEST BY AN OMNISEXUAL VAMPIRE

>How do artists hone their skills properly.
Years of studying and practice.

I like the second image user.
Keep at it!

Perfect!

Wait a minute..

>Family Altar.jpg

Digits confirmed Doki Doki Business Encorporated!

>implying you're not Danlet and that this is according to keikaku

Not all of it is Libiteritariainia, but this probably is, fits the Project of Markov and Portrait Libitania descriptions.

One of the words is
>tulpa
I hope youre glad /ddlc/

...

Hi Dan! Thanks for the art tease.

posting cuz the art's pretty gritty and nice

>Sayori
>10:00 AM
I'm getting a bit concerned at the amount of similarities we have

I'm seeing a lot of Natsukifriends lately, it's the newest ironic weeb bandwagon?

>Five Nights at Freddy's but instead of pandering to kids scared of going to Chuck E' Cheese you get a one pandering to virgins with waifus
Danlet, the mastermind

>Be at the Family Restaurant with Natsuki
>Get table at the back, away from the crowd
>Even staff doesn't pass through
>Ordered some Pasta, will take 15 minutes
>"Hey user... want to do a quick one?"

As is this, I say this because both that and this pic are titled in jap.

If Monika's game is a visual novel and Yuri's game is a more straight horror game, what will Natsuki and Sayori's games be?

>inb4 the parent's room is revealed to house two dead parents straight out of AHS: Alt-Right Rising

>10:00 AM
you are little baby. that's an early rise for me :^)

I keep posting as much as I can it because it'd be bad if I stopped.

sayori
11:40 am
i wouldve slept until like 1 if i didn't have anything scheduled

There's also another one without the inscriptions so someone writes them there. with knife scratches. great.
The cell pic translates to "Robotomy" while this one translates to Cafe

No, because that's against health regulations and because you should eat more.

Would you still love your Doki if she were kripped?

Also why is the pic called "Punisher" anyway?

One of the Dokis is a bad girl and gets her legs forcibly broken?

...

>tfw go to bed with my poem in second place at 15-11
>tfw wake up with my poem in second place at 32-11

Finally got around to actually playing this shit. I think I got the "good end."

Natsuki best bro.

Natsuki
6:00 AM

>implying not all of their legs get forcibly broken before the experiments

>Yuri
>fucking midnight
Can't wait until I'll wake up at 6AM again.

I've always pegged Natsuki as being shy with Lewds but that face...

It's so fucking alluring and inviting. I want to pin her against the wall.

More to love and fug

perhaps its a torture chair?
who knows

inb4 it just stops moving was written by danlet himself and was a mere teaser of something canon

Notice: Its a basement, not really a prison. Weird room design.

Yuri 8:30
>went to bed at 1:30 in the morning tho

i gotta say
kissing a girl feels pretty good

It's that friggin door, I guess. That leads to a laboratory under a hospital, maybe?

this works vice-versa, giving the dokis knowledge of their other lives in other games.
but how drastically would that affect 'gameplay' in DDLC

>Stealth sequel
>Stealth
>Stealth espionage
>Tactical stealth espionage operations
>pic related

It's probably a makeshift cell for the patients in Portrait of Markov to get ghetto surgery.

Monika
9:30am but I went back to sleep and woke up at like 10:30 again

artist here

your construction isn't that bad, actually

just gotta grind anatomy for a few years

>Natsuki!
>10:30 AM
Fell asleep at 2:30 AM, I'm sorry Natsuki

DOKI DOKI LITERATURE CLUB
TACTICAL POETRY OPERATIONS

Also, its not a singluar stairway. Notice another set of stairs next to it leading upward, while the design also (at least logically) implies that, most likelike the obvious stairpath splits into 2 routes. Odd.

What did i miss out on this portrait of Markov stuff anons? when was this? Im excited and I dont know what this is

>Doki Doki Club Solid
>Literature Knowlege Expansion

Uh, it's probably just a landing where the stairs turn around.

pic related might be right, a lighthearted 2d platformer or something.
natsuki's however, not sure about that

Last thread boyo

>she's actually standing with her heels on the little lip of the wall to support her
How disappointing.

>Literature Knowlege Expansion
>Expansion
Heheheheheheh

Good Morning everyone!
Each doki’s festival pastebin has been updated with a link to the voting runoff. Again, the purpose for the voter runoff is to give more of the outstanding submissions we’ve received a chance at winning the overall, as with 83 poems, one round isn’t enough to decide on a representative. For the sake of convenience, here we are:

>Monika - 4 poems
strawpoll.me/14885078

>Sayori - 4 poems
strawpoll.me/14885082

>Yuri - 3 poems
strawpoll.me/14885086

>Natsuki -3 poems
strawpoll.me/14885088

The vote shall remain open until the 22nd of January, 9:00 US Pacific time
With considerably fewer poems to now read through and decide upon, I’d encourage every user to go over the now 14 works presented, each one of them is fantastic and well deserving of your time!
Any questions please don't hesitate to ask
Until then, however, good luck!
May the best poem win!
