i've been trying to think of other things i can associate the THH charas with... maybe fish? idk. if u have an idea, let me know!

CW for SH and s*icidal ideation

i've been thinking a lot about mondo on the night of daiya's death. what would he do in the immediate aftermath? as he watched them put daiya in a body bag, would he have continued to break down in michi's arms? or would he have swallowed the tears, pushed down the panic attack, having come to the realization of what he's gotta do? (that is: lie about the accident being daiya's fault and put on a strong face to honor daiya's dying wish-- keeping the gang together). personally, i think it'd be the latter. i think he'd be genuinely revolted at the idea of anyone seeing him cry after that night, especially members of the gang. how could they ever trust him to fill in daiya's spot, to be strong enough to lead them, if he was a coward who cried all the time? that's what he believes, and like hell is he gonna break his promise with daiya and let the gang fall to pieces just because he's weak (he always has been weak. weak weak weak. he can't let them see that. they can't know it's his weakness that killed their leader, he can't, he can't).

he refuses to allow himself to find comfort in anyone. the paramedics on the scene are concerned about him; after all, he did skid and fall off his bike when daiya pushed him (<- headcanon). they want to take him to the hospital, but he cannot stand the idea of anyone trying to heal him or treat him gently after this terrible sin he's committed. he doesn't deserve to go to the hospital and get stitched up. if he bleeds out, that's the natural consequence of his action. in fact, he wants to deserves to bleed out.

so he drives back to his and daiya's shitty apartment, taking care not to do anymore reckless shit on his bike no matter how much his brain is screaming at him to floor it right into the nearest tree. he's completely disassociating. maybe reality hasn't hit him yet; maybe he's still wrapped inside that facade of levelheadedness he had to adopt now that he's in charge.

but reality does hit him later, hard. in the shower, as he tries to keep it together but eventually breaks down. he literally falls to his knees, curls in on himself, sobbing so hard he can't tell what's tears and what's water. tugging at his hair so manically he pulls clumps out and he bleeds. watching the blood go down the drain, like how the blood splattered across the asphalt. trying to scrub that same blood off of him bc it's still there, his hands are still stained in daiya's blood and no matter how much he scrubs, it won't go away. he scrubs and scrubs and scrubs and scrubs until his hands are raw and bleeding like his scalp. and he turns the shower water to hottest level so it intentionally burns his damaged skin like the flames of Hell that will surely burn him for eternity once he dies (and man does he want to).

tik-tok-taka

Actually i’m not done. Mondo and Taka’s ‘opposite attract’ friendship goes deeper than ‘thug and nerd’; Mondo was constantly playing to an audience, crafting his entire identity around a one-dimensional visage of ‘leader’, that was in itself steeped in his grief-ridden memories of his brother. Mondo was never going to get fulfilment or make any connection doing this, and just spent his life spiralling into grief which forced him further into hiding which forced him further into grief.

Alternatively, Taka is nothing except 100% genuine in everything he says and does. He does a rigid belief in being the ‘traditional Japanese man’ and upholding specific ideals. But those are his ideals. He fully understands that no one likes him. He isn’t playing to a crowd or get anyone to like him, he just does what he thinks is right with a fervent intensity.

Both Mondo and Taka live their lives according to unbending rules and codes they were raised with. Mondo’s entire character is based around bosozoku, a counter-culture that focuses on embracing tradition and following conduct. Bosozoku have always followed a strict set of rules.

Despite the outward skin of someone who rebels against society and doesn’t do what he’s told, Mondo is a man who is scared of substantial change. He doesn’t want to go against his gangs pre-written rules of what is expected of him. He doesn’t want to question his memory of his brother, or his death too deeply. He doesn’t want to change any of the strict gendered rules he knows; boys are strong and meant to protect girls, who are incapable of fighting for themselves. There are hints of his personality not quite fitting right in his design; his soft, calm voice, occasional shy and self-conscious moments and colour palette including soft lilac and gold create the general sense of ‘royalty’ that suggests him being a leader don’t reflect his supposed ‘loose cannon, macho rebel’ mask.

Taka, however, fully embraces his traditionally Japanese style of living and views (boys and girls spending the night together is ‘unwholesome’, he practises calligraphy and kendo as his only hobbies outside of studying, I read a post about how his attitude towards nudity actually reflects older generations of Japanese men, not youth culture. I can’t speak on how accurate that is though).

Despite this, Taka’s characters motivation is based entirely around him demanding change. He wants to change literally everything he can about his peers; from their informal appearance, to their opinions on studying and school, to their morals itself. He wants to change society’s opinion on him and his family name, he wants to go into politics and change the way the very country is run. His character design perfectly matches who he is; the colour palette is literally black-and-white, the harsh red and royal gold play perfectly into his intense ‘holier-than-thou’ personality, he is 1-to-1 with a military soldier including the impractical boots and buzzcut, and he is the only one in the Dangan cast with double rings in his eye, creating a ‘bullseye’ effect. It is simple and to the point, just like him.

If their friendship had been allowed to run its course I think they wouldn’t have just been ‘Mondo learns anger management and Taka doesn’t study quite as hard’. But also Mondo takes charge of his own life and learns who he is as a person, and Taka stops running full-speed into the future and stops to appreciate what’s around him, instead of trying to ‘fix’ everything.

#kiyotaka ishimaru #mondo owada #ishimondo #this might be one of the greatest reads/analysis of their characters i've ever see #literally this is all 100% spot on

rose-colored boy by Paramore might be the most ishimondo-coded song of all time icl

(Mondo POV)

do you guys see it. guys. i'm not crazy right guys

she-kiyo-on-my-taka

secret relationship ishimondo. mondo sneaking taka notes during class to meet behind the tree to kiss. taka being extremely strict on policies for every student but letting mondo get away with breaking the rules. holding hands under the desk. mondo snapping at leon for making fun of taka. late night conversations about them running away from all their responsibilities and living in some far away cottage with a maltese. mondo assuming taka is inexperienced just to find out in the best way possible that is absolutely not the case. life could be a dream.

#god i just ADORE this idea #especially taka playing favorites and going easy on mondo in regards to rules and stuff #man i wanna write this so bad...#kiyotaka ishimaru #mondo owada #ishimondo #stupid dumb gay idiots

nite-puff

more fun little mondo and taka parallels :)

kinda insane how both mondo and kiyotaka’s bond is what gets both of them to finally be in the moment and enjoy the present. mondo is constantly haunted by the past and kiyotaka is laser-focused on the future. but the two finally focus on what’s in front of them when they make that genuine connection. i also think it’s fun that, in the manga that covers what happened in the sauna AND their final fte’s, the two switch their focuses, with taka mostly sharing things about his past and mondo quietly confessing his plans for the future. they’re funny like that. still, them never being present-oriented (the orientation that actually values relationships over traditions or ambitions), is what keeps both of them relatively isolated. being constantly surrounded by people, but never truly making connections outside of maybe one person each. but they each get broken out of that isolation when they finally decide to reach out for each other and trust another human being for the first time in what feels like ages.

i can also say something about mondo and taka being past and future oriented respectively for the sake of someone else’s image. mondo to honor his brother’s image and kiyotaka to tear down his grandfather’s. neither of those guys are living for themselves sigh. (there’s actually more i can elaborate on that for mondo specifically, but that’s another topic for another post).

let them both take a chill pill PLEASE

Stupid

saw a tiktok post ab fanfic that made me curious...

for those of you that have read my fics, what things have y'all noticed i repeat a lot? not like punctuation or anything (cuz trust me i KNOW i overuse semicolons and dashes lmfao), but like certain words or turns of phrase (or maybe even sentence structures?). just tryna gauge what things stick out like sore thumbs too much so i can cut down on my usage of them lol

personally i think it's "however". i love "however". you can pry "however" out of my cold dead hands.

and while we're here, i wanna ask y'all which specific, individual line that i've written is your favorite! so i can know what i'm doing right and keep doing it ^^
