I miss them :(
i dont draw scenes very often but i had a vision and im actually okay with how this turned out
That time of year again!!!
I’m gonna sparkle on this wednesday if it fucking kills me
one day were gonna make it big and we’re gonna see the world together
ya’ll ever think about how mondo is a very romantic person who was forced to be aggressive??
not even just romantic as in like a physical attraction sort of romance (which yes that too. it’s canonically very easy for him to be down bad). like he has a lot of love for things. his friends, his gang, dogs, motorcycles. and he very openly shows that love. he goes on and on about them so passionately and with so much adoration. in his own special way.
and him being an artist is also very romantic to me. like guys. mondo’s an artist. he puts so much care into each of his works too. whether that be the embroidery on his jacket, the hand painted designs on his motorcycle, even his hair and makeup that he does everyday. that’s all art that he finds so precious and so integral to who he is. i know he thinks that becoming a carpenter will be when he starts making things instead of breaking them. but the truth is that he’s been lovingly making things this whole time.
he also loves doing things for and having intimate moments with the people he cares about. his relationship with taka is my best example of this, so i’m gonna stick to that. it’s very obvious that taka is a very important person in his life. and he constantly makes that clear to taka. like in that one utdp event they have together. mondo tells taka what he wants to do with his future in a way that feels very intimate and heartfelt, with them being alone in a classroom together. that moment is very much meant for the two of them, because mondo then goes on to thank taka for all his support throughout all the time they’ve known each other and then promises to build him a house someday. mondo let’s taka know that his love and support has not gone unnoticed and even promises to give him something very personal in return- a house that he built with his own two hands.
mondo just loves to be there for the people he cares about. he witnessed kiyotaka cry for his sake in the sauna and call him nice, so in return, he tries his hardest to be the best friend that taka never had. in the utdp, he sticks to training with chihiro and always makes sure to point out how much she’s improved and reminds her of how strong she truly is. he even stays up until the late hours of the night (late enough that he shows up to class late the next day because of how little sleep he got) talking to who we can assume is takemichi over the phone because michi was having a rough time and just needed someone to talk to. and mondo was, of course, more than willing to be that someone.
all that is to say. man that guy is really in touch with his feelings but was forced to express them in a way that was much more violent and aggressive. and that’s so much sadder when it’s so clear that he’d rather express those feelings differently. like he derives so much enjoyment from doing the things i just pointed out. like it sucks that things didn’t work out that way. god, mondo you’re so tragic and so loving.
gay rep in media be like "I'm a girl cop and I have an offscreen wife" meanwhile queerbait be like "here's art of two guys on a picnic together with one using the other's jacket as a blanket. here's art of the two of them naked soulfully staring into each other's eyes while one of them talks about the other's soul entering his body. here's an entire dialog exchange of solely gay innuendo. hey did you know that in one continuity that one of them literally votes to kill himself when the other is about to die so he doesn't have to live in a world without him."
Every day I'll be sad they killed Taka before Chapter 4 because I truly think he could have been so interesting there.
He and Hina have so much in common already. They're both naturally upbeat people with very large, open emotions. They're mr 'I have to make every effort I can' and miss 'trying my hardest gives me purpose'.
And then Hina loses her """best friend""", just as Taka lost his? Sakura, who embodies a theme of strength, like Mondo did? Hina, too, loves Sakura so desperately that she's willing to endanger everyone's lives? They would have been so good to bounce off each other. They could have become friends by supporting each other in their grief, and it would have played so well into the sense of Sakura's death helping unite the survivors as a team. Mlm wlw solidarity.
And also. I know there was only so much time in the game, but I will go to my grave insisting that Taka and Byakuya should have had a rivalry. Byakuya, who's in Hope's Peak not by any real talent he's worked for, but because his family's rich? He's everything Taka despises. Byakuya assumes he's the smartest person in the room and everything will fall into his lap - just like Taka's grandfather. In trial 2, Byakuya tells Taka that 'assuming everyone will act as you would is the height of folly', but then he gets humbled in trial 4 because he assumes everyone will act as cynically and selfishly as him!
It would have been so interesting for Taka to have had some kind of a role in trial 4! Don't get me wrong, Kyoko should still be the one destroying Byakuya with facts and logic, that's an important moment for her, but. There could have been such good interactions between Taka and Hina, Taka and Byakuya. This trial could have done so much for Taka's arc, if they'd given him a darn arc!
Obviously in a death game, you're going to get some characters dying before it feels like they've achieved their full potential. I get that. But the sheer amount of potential that was just sitting there with Taka and got thrown into the garbage continues to boggle my entire mind.
it's so comical to me how much people on this website of a certain shall we say Level of Pallor are constantly retweeting puff posts about how Racism Bad and We Must Support Black Artists but when push comes to shove and a mirror is put in front of them to reveal that they may or may not have some unchecked antiblack biases that affect the way they interact (or don't interact) with black art and talk to black people and react to their equally alabaster faves doing racist shit all of a sudden it's "well actually" and "b-b-b-but". and by 'comical' i mean I Am Going To Fucking Hurt You
this isn't even about whatever Cartoon Discourse Du Jour is happening idgaf about that i don't care i don't go there. this has been happening Since Forever and people wonder why all of the major black bloggers here have up and gone.
like the fact that i have black oomfs who would rather be on TWITTER because at least racists on twitter are HONEST about hating black people. like they're not trying to play in my face! you are!

My name is Fatima, a 21-year-old woman🤰.Just one month before the war, I was engaged, dreaming of a warm home and a small family.But the war tore us apart—my fiancé and I were separated between northern and southern Gaza, with no way to communicate💔.
Despite the pain, we held on to hope. Months later, I left my family and joined him.We got married, believing it was the start of a new life.But the bombing returned, and we were displaced again… Now we live in a fragile tent in western Gaza, awaiting the birth of our first child amid conditions unfit for life🥹😭.
I’m pregnant🤰, and my due date is near🥹. I have none of the essentials I need as a mother or even as a human being🙏.We lack everything: medical care, food, clean water, and basic supplies for childbirth and the baby🥲.
I’m not asking for the impossible—just enough to protect my life and my baby’s
Your donation is our only hope🥹😢.
