Everyone is so confused in The Ocean Saga

"We're gonna shoot for the sky"

"What?!"

"Sometimes killing is a must!"

"What?"

"It's treasure!!"

"W h a t."

"ALL I GOTTA DO IS OPEN THIS BAG"

"WHAT"

Yeah, it has been a bit. What’s up? :)

Ok, but the way Taka’s eyes light up when he discovers flavors and is just like, “what have I been missing out on my whole life?!”

Imagine if Mondo just proceeds to take Taka around to try a bunch of different foods. The looks of wonder and innocence in his eyes is almost enough to cover the hole in Mondo’s wallet

[from this ask] It would absolutely be one of Mondo's favourite things, but soon the class find out, and they all want to get in on getting Taka to try their favourite food.

[one of the minicomics this ask dump] Some have been privy to seeing Taka eat a sub sandwich in 3 bites, and they would not like to repeat the experience.

---

Junko was incredibly disappointed when it was discovered Taka is a SPICE FIEND. She has yet to find a food he actively dislikes, and so far no amount of threats from Mondo has made her give up the search.

---

Taka doesn't like to dwell on his upbringing as part and parcel of his whole ethos of determination, so wouldn't bring it up voluntarily. Taka tends to unconsciously avoid eating around people so it's a long while before anyone notices his habits, and even longer for them to get him to recognise it as unhealthy and not 'efficient'

Eventually, in frustration, he points out that: "Akane eats like me, does that mean she has unhealthy eating habits too?" to a chorus of blank faces and the gentle explanation of: " . . . Taka . . . Akane's got the worst eating habits" From there it becomes a simple matter for his friends to join the dots between Akane's childhood poverty - Taka's family debt - and their shared defensive eating. When he finds out about Akane's background it does give Taka some piece of mind to know there's someone who understands some of his struggles and lost childhood - Akane and Taka don't always see eye to eye, but they do end up bonding tremendously over it and their efforts to get healthier.

[from this group of asks!] Whilst Byakuya almost definitely has employees to undertake such tasks, I can see a busybody like Taka, only intending to drop off some study notes for Byakuya, inadvertently insinuating himself onto the organisation committee. Taka, completely by accident, ends up with a paid position on Byakuya's staff (since you know Byakuya couldn't just ask for a favour like a normal person)

---

Byakuya has an eye for theatrics; imagine the optics! Fellow attendees scoffing at the young, clearly inexperienced heir, I mean look at his woeful choice of guest from that disgraced family! Only to discover that the elaborate evening they've been enjoying was completely organised by said guest, and then seeing that same guest yeet a man twice his size out of the convention hall. That'd definitely add to the notorious Togami reputation.

---

Business spokesmen aren't always strictly at business events; they're usually also patrons or donors to societies, charities and political parties, so there's a slew of different events it could be. In fact it'd be even more poignant if it was a political fundraiser, or something of that nature. Since Taka is an unwelcome reminder to his maternal family of their previous failed foray into gaining more political leverage; it's even funnier if Byakuya is actively trying to shove that in their faces.

--

Taka can't catch a break - both his grandfathers are pricks. Righteously indignant Taka is excellent, but I have to admit I have a soft spot for bitingly petty Taka, even if it's it's a little out of character for him: "I cannot imagine your embarrassment then Chairman; as it is an Ishimaru who had to remind you to behave in a manner befitting the dignity of your station."

Taka might have a resolve of steel when it comes to remaining civil in difficult negative situations; In positive situations however? He's not as well practiced. . . Or: Taka finds out he rather likes adrenaline really.

He was blinded by his morals and nothing else.

@starlightmedow It's got to be easy to catch some parental feels when it comes to Chihiro. You know Mondo and Taka wouldn't be down for the babying kind - but rather the nurturing, too loud cheering on in the crowd kind. Think the muscle improvement club from Mob Psycho 100

---

"One of these things is not like the others ~ one of these things just doesn't bel~ong!" (It's mothman; he's the only cryptid) In all honesty a rabbit works well for Chihiro. Adorable, but when faced off against a predator? Rabbits can be FIERCE!

I like the idea of all the programs interacting with each other! Alter ego as the more experienced and proactive learner helping the others, Chiaki being hesitant but smart and willing, whereas Usami is very enthusiastic but the least knowledgeable. Chihiro watching over all of 'em It's a fun dynamic! (I have to admit I do prefer Chiaki as a completely fabricated AI rather than based on an actual person, which I know is how it ends up shaking out in canon; her slow yet intelligent demeanour reminded me of an old desktop resolutely chugging along)

@starrygatorr aka: Taka is gaslit by a child That certainly sounds like an AU with a lot of juicy potential to it! Taka doesn't seem the sort to be well liked by children due to his strict nature and perma-scowl. He'd be delighted to be approached by any of the children - it's a shame it happened to be the emotionally-manipulative, mini-megalomaniac! That being said, flipping it on its head, Taka's sheer bullheadedness and obliviousness might act as a natural counter-agent to Monaca's stratagem of picking at insecurities, making him someone who doesn't get side-tracked by her normal tactics (but also making Mondo a much more attractive target for her schemes . . .) All in all, there's a lot you can play with there! Noice!

---

[from this comic] You know what; Junko pretty much canonically just goes around nicking other people's ideas and smushing them into her killing game anyway! Hell I don't think she even came up with monokuma on her own

"smoothie of ambiguous content" is a true Mukuro mood

---

[from this ask again] Mukuro's not one to mince her words after all XD

@spacepaprika The idea of the Ultimate Moral Compass just flat out admitting to a criminal record is unironically hilarious to me - especially given Makoto 'I pissed the bed' Naegi's "dark secret". However I think a criminal record would probably kill any chances he had of becoming Prime Minister. I do have my own idea of what that secret might be, and I plan to put it in a comic . . . 👀 without context - it involves him having been expelled from his middle school *sows seeds of intrigue*

---

@darkephantylight191 Mondo never pulled any pranks himself, but he certainly didn't stop anyone else from doing it. He was the most vocal and blatant about breaking the few rules Hope's Peak actually has and basically constantly found himself in Taka's crosshairs, and Taka wouldn't let even the smallest infraction go. Essentially they both riled the other up, sometimes completely intentionally as they'd both assumed the other was exactly the type of person they hated, without actually finding out if that was true or not.

Omg imagine Taka and Ishida on the debate team-

These asks are all about [this comic]!

@rattywatts @inezzknivess

YES, GO OFF! 100% EXACTLY! His 'Super High School Level' title would be along the lines of "Debate Team member", like how Taka's is "Public Morals Committee member" No one else would ever get a look in if they were both on the debate team - it'd be a linguistical massacre

I do mention in [this ask] the status of 'Ishida' in my non-despair AU, but I'll make it a little clearer:

In my main non-despair comics, 'Ishida' doesn't exist. Taka does however display some 'Ishida like tendencies' when he gets pushed to [the breaking point] but it's not an alter, just him loosing grip on his repressed temper

Kiyondo Ishida, the 'Ultimate Devil's Advocate' exists in a new, totally unplanned 'Parent Trap' AU, which is completely separate from my main comics.

In this vein, my [Angst comics] exist post-tragedy in the main timeline of the games, usually during/after Ultra Despair Girls and is also separate from the main non-despair AU.

(The [pride] comic takes place in none of the AUs incidentally just to be even more confusing, but exists as a standalone)

They're tagged pretty vaguely at the moment, I'll try to use more specific unique tags to make my stuff easier to sort though tho' it's luck of the draw if tumblr will behave; probably ~ #dangan/parenttrap , #dangan/mainAU , #dangan/angstAU full comics are under #dangan-colourcomic-ranpan , and the sketched ones; #dangan-minicomic-ranpan

(Glad you liked!!) The tiny Ishimaru twins growing up together is such an adorable image! Ishida's social acumen would definitely diminish his trust in others, seeing how people treat them solely because of their names and gravitate toward bullying Taka, but it's ultimately Taka's boundless positive determination that stops Ishida from giving in to his resentment. They bolster each other up.

---

I can certainly see 'Ishida' being something of a nom de plume. Not only so his detractors can't get back to his maternal family, but also so he isn't incumbered by his paternal Ishimaru name. Ishida definitely thinks Taka's naive for his insistence on working his way toward his goals whilst still bearing such a burden, but he's also impressed by his dedication. (I tend to call Kiyotaka- Taka and Kiyondo - Ishida, just so it's more obvious at a glance who I mean, but Taka calls him 'Kiyo')

---

It's impressive that the chronically overworked father of two equally excessively enthusiastic identical twins still has enough mental energy tell them apart most of the time, let alone when they're actively trying to trick him: a testament to his observational skills. But damn right he'd be more than a little salty to know that Mondo can do it without even trying.

@chinchillasinunison Mondo: 👀 "ya got different eye colours. . ." Taka: "I'm surprised Mondo! You don't usually notice those sorts of things . . . I never knew you had such observational skills!" Mondo: "yess s s . . .Of course! I gotta eye for detail, s'not just you. . . I could notice stuff about anyone!" Ishida: 🤔

Mondo is as subtle as a brick to the face Just as well Taka is hopelessly oblivious. Ishida on the other hand. . .

---

@mangoisgay Good eye! A+! I'm honestly impressed! You're totally right, that's the other way I differentiate between the two :)

--

(You're totally right about the gum lmao; I missed that! XD) PLUS Leon's probably the type to convince Taka that "Bro, it's totally nicotine gum! You can't tell me to stop smoking and then say I can't have any quitting aids! It's free period Taka, lighten up!"

@spacepaprika Ishida would NEVER let Taka live it down if that's how he found out his precious straight-laced brother is dating a notorious gang leader who Ishida wouldn't trust as far as he could throw him

@hellowhatwhythings How could I criticise something so obviously correct?

You got it right, no misinterpretations here! I figured, If they're identical twins, one of 'em has to dye their hair. Taka's always had his appearance judged in conjunction with his families reputation, and so thought perhaps dying his hair a more common colour for his Hope's Peak high school debut might make him look less intense and help make him more approachable. But Taka didn't factor his personality into why people might find him so extreme.

---

Taka would unlikely be willing to actively deceive his Hope's Peak classmates and friends - but he'd certainly see the benefit to having troublemakers letting down their guard thinking it's anarchistic Ishida they're talking to and not prefect Taka. Ishida, however, would have zero qualms messing around with the class, just as long as Taka doesn't catch him doing it. (also consider: Taka not running out but Ishida sequestering it)

---

Taka probably wouldn't be the only one who accidentally washes his hair dye out at the beach, tho' he'd definitely be the only one who ends up with a flashier hairdo afterward, walking out of the water looking like the ghost of a sailor lost at sea

---

Bless, Ishida is so used to having full control of a room, that he's so out of his depth when it comes to the vehement insistence of Taka's classmates to confine him to sick bay. Honestly having the whole of class 78 descend upon you would be terrifying. No wonder he gets Taka to defend him!

Basically an old fashioned, stronger worded 'cheeky monkey', closer to 'impertinent or impudent person' Gotta pull out the big cuss words for Ishida (seems like it's more commonly written 'jackanapeS' for some unfathomable reason)

---

@cinnabunni5123 OH OH!! Absolutely please feel free to do so if you wanna!! :-O !! I kinda fell ass over backwards into this parent-trap AU not gonna lie; It's all very 'by the seat of my pants'! But if you wanna use any of my comics or concepts as an base/inspiration for a fic or art you're more than welcome to; that's super cool! Please do let me know tho, with an ask or a mention, I'd love to see where you take it :)

I actually head canon that Taka’s the one with the anxiety… all the pressure on his shoulders to restore his family name…

i think they both got anxiety and them venting abt issues that cause it was what helped them bond during their sauna competition

#ask #spacepaprika #with mondo he has anxiety in relation to his role as leader of his gang and taka with him being overly critical of himself bc of his high-#-expectations bc of what his grandfather did
