If I could still draw, I'd make an art series showing Taka wearing or using all the Monomono Machine gifts you can give him. But I'll have to settle for uselessly pointing and talking about them, because some are like "ah yes," while others...

LOVES:

Mac's gloves: A pair of boxing gloves infused with a staggering amount of passion and effort. Wearing them makes you want to throw a thousand cross-counters.

We know the reference (Punch-Out) but is it just the passion and effort Taka likes? Taka only mentions kendo, I think, but maybe he also takes boxing for exercise and last-resort self defense. Middle school was rough on him for unknown reasons. Whether he picked up boxing for focus or just learning to dodge a punch, it's cute picturing Mondo holding the punching bag for him or them sparring in a ring with very different fighting styles.

Red scarf: A scarf belonging to a certain masked hero. It's tattered and worn due to the countless battles it's been through.

I... don't know the reference. I couldn't find it either. Does anyone know? Strider Hiryu could fit, but Taka thinks games are a waste of time when Makoto talks to him. Red is very much a hero color in Japan as well as associated with deities and protection. Does Taka like the certain hero? Does Taka want to be seen as a hero or protector as well as a good leader?

Ya know what? I've read like two fics where Mondo is a secret superhero--where are the superhero!Taka fics and pics?! (No official art of Taka in a red scarf either makes me boo.)

Adorable Reactions Collection: A DVD that contains footage of people reacting to various pieces of art.

Your guess is as good as mine. For the culture of it? Studying reactions/expressions of others? Maybe he likes seeing people learn of things for the first time? That'd be very wholesome of him.

Chin Drill A fashion accessory that allows you to equip a drill on your chin. It is said to represent the idea of "spiral energy".

Okay. Okay, what? Either we're doing a Gurren Lagann joke--spiral power gets stronger thru generations (Taka's stronger than his grandfather) and causes people to be blindly driven towards their goals--or we're referencing spiral energy in mysticism: all stages of life and rebirth going for infinity. For spiral symbolism, there's "spirals represent evolution and growth of the spirit." But this is... Dude, this attaches to your chin. And he LOVES it. Dafuq.

LIKES:

[sakura bouquet, math problems, & handheld console cut for image limit]

Overflowing Lunchbox: A lunch box stuffed with rice, ginger, carrots, peppers, mushrooms, and more. It's meat-free, so you vegetarians out there are covered, too.

"Give the poor kid a generous meal." Just punch me in my chest. This gift is why I made the post about Taka and Mondo gifting food to each other.

G-Sick Watch: Most people consider it a "throwaway watch" due to its poor quality. Still, it enjoys massive popularity thanks to its low price.

"Give the poor kid a watch he could afford." Ya know what's weird? This watch is in Hina's Love category. Does she break watches in the pool a lot because she forgets to take them off?

Leaf Covering: A loincloth meant to emphasize one's manliness. Its simple design features a single leaf overlaid on white cloth.

I mean, it's... it's self-explanatory.

Quality Chinchilla Cover: A dark red seat cover. Its refined design is intended for only the most elite clientele.

My dudes, this is a fur motorcycle/bike seat. It's on Mondo's Love list, obviously. Why is it in Taka's Likes? Does he like soft things? Is he envious of luxury items maybe he remembers his grandpa having? Does he just want a really plush seat as he rides with Mondo? (Idk, man, but chinchilla farms are cruel.)

Cherry Blossom Bouquet: A collection of branches from a sakura tree. In the language of flowers, cherry blossoms represent "a woman of superior beauty".

Every other character Likes or Loves this too, including Mondo. As for flower language, I can't find that definition at all. I do find it meaning love, general beauty, renewal/new beginnings, fleeting life/mortality (ouch) and imagery tied with samurais because of that short life.

Berserker Armor: Donning this armor bestows the wearer with immense power, but at the cost of their soul and senses.

Uh. Ishida? Actually, even for Ishida that's a bit intense. The cost of their soul? Taka's/Ishida's whole thing is preserving his soul & Mondo's together. Unless he silently wants his soul out completely because it's causing him so much pain, and only Mondo's should live on in him. Maybe this item is leftover from the early code where you could interact with Ishida in Free Time at least once.

The only other person that likes it is Jack/Jill/Syo, so I assume this is a joke about personality switches (for two different mental health reasons) to their less stable selves, who go berserk.

Millennium Prize Problems: These seven important mathematical problems were posted by the Clay Mathematics Institute, with a reward of one million dollars for each one solved.

"Give the poor nerd a way to pay off his family's debt!"

The Funplane: The newest popular portable game system. It has a hi-def touchscreen, and can also play music and videos, making for the perfect all-in-one media machine!

Now, this is another gift you can give to everyone and they'll at least Like it. I guess Taka could use it for educational videos, or "studying" pop culture with Professor Makoto.

And just because we're here, can I just...

MONDO LOVES: sonic cup-a-noodle, quality chinchilla cover, fresh bindings, and

Roller Slippers: Slippers with a small wheel installed in each heel. They were invented to move easily around the house, but there is absolutely no demand for them.

Mondo. Mondo, your taste, hun. No. I want to see Mondo rolling by on these in their house and Taka going apoplectic.

#kiyotaka ishimaru #mondo oowada #danganronpa #for some reason a good amount of fanart has taka with the gift for syo that's a vib i mean a doll that shakes #this broke like 5 times when i tried to post it

Important Easter PSA

My former foster buns Daisy & Clover would like to remind you NOT to buy live bunnies for Easter. Daisy and Clover were gifts from my sister's boyfriend to her for her birthday and when they broke up, the two sweet critters were unfortunately left without anyone to love them. My sister took it upon herself to bring them to my house and ditch them. I was suddenly left with animals I did not sign up for. I had no experience with rabbits before. I've only ever owned rodents and ferrets. I already had two chinchillas that take a great deal of love, work, and attention so suddenly having rabbits as well was extremely chaotic. I had to schedule plenty out of cage time for the buns and the chins and constantly cleaning both enclosures was pretty overwhelming for me. Not to mention expensive! I loved those girls dearly, which is why I fostered them for several months until a family friend reached out to adopt them. These two have since moved on to their furever home and their new owner is a very experienced and takes amazing care of them. So in this case, a happy ending was achieved.

However, this is not the case for most rabbits (or animals in general) that are given as gifts, especially to children. My local rabbit rescue is always overflowing and they have no room for the insane amount of unwanted easter bunnies. A lot of these bunnies are sick or injured due to improper care.

Always ALWAYS research animals you're interested in as potential pets!!

Here are some things to keep in mind:

- Bunnies can live up to 10 years or possibly even more depending on their breed and lifetime care. They are a huge commitment.

- They are not very good pets for children. They are fragile and can easy be injured from improper handling. Also they can injure the child if they are frightened. Those claws are sharp!

- Their cage really should only be a sleeping area or place for them to hide if they get startled. They need room to run around and play. Make sure you baby proof any rooms they free roam in, they like to investigate things with their teeth so you don't want them having access to electrical wires or toxic substances.

- Their litterbox(s) should be cleaned DAILY. This is NOT optional. They'll usually pee in the box, but will probably poop wherever they see fit. Don't be mad at them, it's just something you'll need to expect. (My chinchillas are like that too. They go hundreds of times a day so it's unreasonable to expect them to hold it.)

- Their diet is very specific. You must learn to balance fresh foods, pellets, and hay. Always research everything before you offer it to them. Many things are dangerous.

- Vet bills. Vet bills. Vet bills. Like dogs, cats, and any other pets, rabbits should see a vet for checkups or if anything seems off. They are "exotics" so expect to pay higher amounts than a dog or cat as they need extra special care.

- Like all animals, each bunny is unique. Their personalities, health, and needs can vary greatly.

I am by no means an expert given that I only had a few months before the girls moved on to their furever home. And I'm sure I'm missing some info here... but please consider these things before bringing rabbits home.

Make your easter bunny a plushie or chocolate one!

And above all, ADOPT DON'T SHOP.
