Interview with DECO*27 and Takuya Yamanaka on the Interactive Music Project MILGRAM -ミルグラム-
════ ✧⋄⋆⋅⋆⋄✧ •✦• ✧⋄⋆⋅⋆⋄✧ ════
TRANSLATOR NOTES:
This is an old interview back in 2020. It's important to remember that the thoughts of Yamanaka and DECO*27 about the direction of the characters could've changed! Don't let that deter you from your initial voting!
Given the structure of Japanese, run-on sentences are inevitable. I did my best to rephrase them for better flow and brevity. But there were some sentences that I found difficult to change so I left them as is.
Sometimes there would be additional context on some of the questions. This is because the interview answers won't make any sense without them. Haruka's song being the prime reason... They will appear as indented to separate them from the interview questions.
Please let me know if there are any errors especially with the names I used. I struggle with translating names accurately, so I did my best to be as precise as possible.
The author is working on a follow-up! Please show them your appreciation by liking and sharing their post. Translation and typesetting by Ray Distance.

Dialogue written by @classpectpokerap
Yume Nikki Illustration I made for the Indie G Zine [Vol.3]
The only known copy of the Hussie “First Folio” of c. 1625 exists in fragments in the Bodelian Library (MS. Eng. misc. c. 413). No publishing details are available, provenance is unknown.
Prologue:
The uncertain glory of an April day, Which now shows all the beauty of the sun, Limns a youth upon which no name did weigh These thirteen springs. That burden will be one He will take up this morn, and so in this This gentle youth becomes a gentleman, By taking on the name that’s rightfully his - A token that betokes a divine plan. Where others, who did Fate give name at birth Can have no say in what their fortune tells (Whether lives of misery or of mirth), This youth may choose his Heavens, or his Hells. He stands now at the door of childhood’s room, Now Let him learn his name, and learn his doom.
Act 1, scene 1
Voice: Enter name.
Boy: Letters are appearing! As if drawn by Some fiery hand - and now I ken they spell The name “Zoosmell, Lord of Dung”? Fie on this, Fie! A shallow jest - better be the names Of rustics than nobility besmirched.
Voice: Try again.
Boy: More words appear, these pleasing to the eye - I’ll be “John Egbert”, a name for saints and Kings, I trow. Now to take up arms and go, But where among these cakes and bills for rude Entertainments could they be? In this drawer?
Looks in drawer
Boy: No arms. Damn my addled mind: they rest Beneath the cake inside yon magic chest.
Voice: Remove CAKE from MAGIC CHEST
Boy retrieves arms
Boy: No antics or hilarity for now, I must needs store these in my Sylladex. What else lies here? Some Gyves that feign to lock, A Blade that cannot wound, a Hat, a Mask, Tricks to mimic smoke or blood, a Treatise On japes, a Volume on the life of a Man of wisdom who traffick’d in dark arts. All this I fain would take ‘gainst future need, For now mayhaps this smoke will show it’s meed.
Takes smoke pastilles
Boy: Alas! my arms I now can’t bring to hand! This Sylladex is like unto the sack That peddlers use to cart about their wares – And all that they have pack’d must be unlade ‘Ere that which they pack’d first will come to light. No matter now: anon I’ll set it right.
Examines bill
Boy: No spirits be as facinerious As these. Though fell be their actions and their Passions run to black, these hell-kites’ exploits Enthrall me and I can’t abjure their charms. How now, a note? My father left this here, A birthday gift to mark my thirteenth year.
so i noticed this post was apparently made in 2013, but is only starting to get passed around now, nearly a decade later:
tried to use wayback machine to see how many notes it had before it was brought back, but it started circulating again on nov 11 and i could only find one from nov 27, where it still only had 783 notes
in an attempt to find how obscure this post was before its resurrection, i went all the way down in the reblogs to see how many it had. and it looks like, before being brought into the modern day by @homestuckmadethisfanart, it only had FOUR reblogs?
of course that wouldn’t include deactivated blogs, so there were probably more than just 4, but probably not TOO much more if that’s all that’s left of non-deactivated reblogs. especially because the average amount of notes op got on all their other posts (there’s only 25 of them so it was easy to calculate an average) was between 3-4 notes.
anyway, really adds to the feeling that this was… excavated.

I found the concept art for the original Homestuck Vinyl Figurines, along with concept art for the unreleased second wave of figures.
I’m mostly posting these so they don’t wind up getting lost, but they also serve as decent references for these characters. Especially the Alpha Kids, as they are shown at a few different angles.
I saw this post by @astropixie about how it’d be nice to review fics on AO3 as you read. A little while back, because I was so in awe of the Clexa fic writers, I made this userscript (can install on Firefox by using Greasemonkey and on Chrome, ETA: Opera, and Safari by using Tampermonkey) so that I could do just that. It doesn’t have the wattpad or soundcloud functionality, it’s just a little thing added on to a page, not something supported by the site itself, but it’s better than nothing.
The userscript is available here: http://pastebin.com/vYBCYWu4
ETA: FFN version: http://pastebin.com/addj3Xtm
ETA: Use Tampermonkey on Firefox too

EVERYTHING FOUND ON THE DELTARUNE WEBSITE SO FAR
Everything is found directly from https://deltarune.com/sweepstakes/.
https://deltarune.com/icee/ This link leads to a post made by Noelle. At the bottom, it has a link to Dess: https://deltarune.com/december/. The broken link is intentional, because other links that don’t exist on the website lead to the Toby dog sleeping. (ex. https://deltarune.com/anything). This Toby dog also occasionally is seen dancing with maracas. When clicked, it plays a lullaby.
https://deltarune.com/dess/ If the link https://deltarune.com/december/ is changed to https://deltarune.com/dess/, a guitar shows up on screen. When clicked, it plays a song. The website title is “* (It’s a red guitar.)”
https://deltarune.com/code/ Another banner which shows up after https://deltarune.com/icee/ is this website. There’s a comment section, and it seems to be a conversation between holidaygirl1225 (either Noelle or Dess) and smartgenius5554738292 (probably Berdly) about getting prank called. The sound button plays a Christmas-themed song, similar to jingle bells. If the number after smartgenius’s user is called, it simply gives an invalid number message.
https://deltarune.com/secret/ The third and final banner which rarely shows up leads you here. The second door leads you to a picture of plush Ralsei, and the website is titled “You won!” The seventh door leads to a picture of PIPIS, and is titled “You lost!” The 12th door leads to a picture of an empty gumball machine, and too, says that you won. Door 13 gives you this image, and says you won:
Credit to https://www.tumblr.com/lofthousezzz for finding this out, but this is a clear reference and screenshot of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Superbad_(website)! Thanks!
https://deltarune.com/chair/ The final door in this section of the website is the 15th, which redirects you to https://deltarune.com/chair/. It’s a blue chair, and when clicked on, it gets all glitchy and an ominous sound effect plays. The website title turns from “But what if it could…” to “… get darker than dark?” Occasionally, if you click it enough, there will be a Spamton eye jumpscare, and the page will close out on itself. When you exit back to the doors page, it’s titled, “You won?”
Oh boy. Mid-post, I stumbled upon about 50 more website redirects. Save me. This next website thread is gonna be a long one, and credit to my friend Rogul for finding it.
When you click on the first shirt in the prizes section, there’s a blue link. It’ll lead you to: https://deltarune.com/ramb/ It seems to be a lonely door in the dark until clicked on, where all the lights turn on and you’re in the Green Room.
When the right door is clicked, it leads you to https://deltarune.com/tv/. The website title is “* It’s off.” and supposedly, there is no way to interact with it.
When the left door is clicked, it leads you to https://deltarune.com/weather/. This includes two new character sprites, and when clicked, it shows this, along with a repeating GIF of them swinging their spears:
Finally, when the star door is clicked, it leads to https://deltarune.com/changingroom/. The title is “(Private…), and when the bath curtain is clicked, it comes up with one of the shadow men screaming in surprise before immediately closing the curtain again. Occasionally, it comes up with a rotating Lancer, and when he is clicked, it redirects to https://deltarune.com/lancer/. This is the equivalent of a Lancer rickroll. Thanks, Toby. When the shadow man is clicked on while the curtain is open, it gives this video at https://deltarune.com/shadowmen/: (I can’t upload the video since I’m posting outside of Beta, but it’s a fight between the fun gang and shadow men. You have to, quite literally, knock their socks off to spare them. They also wear some fancy clothes in the fight.)
If you go to the Spamton toilet paper (never thought I’d be saying that), there’s a link which redirects you to https://deltarune.com/sighting/ in the description. It’s Spamton on the toilet. Yeah, the title is also “SIGHTING 1997″.
https://bluebubble.rodeo/ (EDIT: On the toilet paper, there is also this link printed onto it: https://bluebubble.rodeo/. It leads to these two sprites of Kris and Susie, and the title is “Get ready for 2 minutes of mildly entertaining shoot-out action!”)
Credit to https://www.tumblr.com/cloud-lad for finding this.
https://deltarune.com/dog/ If you do the same but with the Spamton belt thing, it leads you to https://deltarune.com/dog/. This is all it does when you click on it, as well as play some dramatic tunes. The title is “HALL OF FAME”.
The link in the Lancer cookie is simply just another Lancer rickroll. (https://deltarune.com/lancer/)
https://deltarune.com/catpetterz/ This is found when you go into the cardboard box’s description. The music plays some eerie, messed-up version of the game’s theme. Sort of reminds me of the Bad Egg Pokemon creepypasta.
https://deltarune.com/egg/ When you click on “Until one day…”, it leads you to https://deltarune.com/egg/.
https://deltarune.com/man/ Credit to https://noelle-holi-gay.tumblr.com/post/695672563314065408 for finding this secret page! I can’t find the way to get to it, but it exists here: https://deltarune.com/man/. The title is “* (Behind the tree.).”
https://deltarune.com/blink/ They’re also the one who found https://deltarune.com/blink/, which is a gif of Susie blinking. The title is simply “What?” I’m unsure of how they originally got to this, but it can also be found in the description of the 3D celebrity photo cube, as of the 150k mark.
https://deltarune.com/kris_dreemurr_kris/ A new Deltarune donation goal has been unlocked! In the heart locket section, a link leads to https://deltarune.com/kris_dreemurr_kris/, which seems to be posted by Noelle since it has the same title as most of her other account posts. It’s also Kris who plays the piano, probably. The audio is of a piano being played, almost frantically.
I haven’t included the Ralsei Nurse Plush link, and that’s because it’s the fight scene with the shadow men which we’ve already seen. (https://deltarune.com/shadowmen/)
https://deltarune.com/bluecircle/ New donation goal with a new link! At the bottom of the PIPIS bath rug’s description, you can find this link: https://deltarune.com/bluecircle/. The link at the bottom leads to the code page (https://deltarune.com/code/), which we have already found.
https://deltarune.com/the_n3w3st_g1rl_g1rl/ In the description of the 150k Noelle watch, there’s a link which leads here. It’s talking about Kris and Susie’s relationship in Noelle’s point of view.
Is it over? Oh my god, I think it’s over until Toby releases more items with the donation goals. Reblogs are appreciated, and sorry for having to delete my previous post, but it was really glitching out for me. Please, comment if you find anything else! I’ll add it here with credit!
I’ll probably be asleep when we hit the next goals: but don’t worry, I’ll be sure to update it once I wake up before the drawing begins.
