I like to imagine that at some point Mondo was trying to act cool like “yeah I run a biker gang it’s a pretty big deal” and Kiyotaka is intrigued so he’s like “oh wow I have a bike too!” and Mondo’s genuinely surprised so he asks if Kiyotaka maybe wants to ride with them and Kiyotaka gets all excited because he doesn’t really have friends he can hang out with so he agrees and then like a week later he shows up where Mondo’s gang hangs out riding a bicycle with both a little bell and a basket on the front and he’s just staring at all of these guys with huge motorcycles like “I have made a grave mistake.”
Ishimaru is precious to me, he’s the best!
(For Elly because she’s such an awesome person ;; <333)
Ishimaru Kiyotaka’s Character Evaluation (Dangan Ronpa Reload book, page 65)
Respecting order and public morals, unforgiving to even trivial violations of rules. Ishimaru, an honorable, hot-blooded man who’s strict with himself as well as with others, is also kept at a distance by his friends?!
Naegi Makoto: He kept getting angry at me…
Togami Byakuya: Someone tell him to shut up.
Oowada Mondo: It’s a man’s promise!
Kuwata Leon: Cafeteria meeting. How dull…
Yamada Hifumi: You’ll have a pure/noble relationship with Boo-ko!
Hagakure Yasuhiro: I’m weak of mornings… (<– In the context of ‘waking up early’)
Monokuma: You’re too stubborn!
Fujisaki Chihiro: U… I’m scared…
Enoshima Junko (Mukuro): He’s SO noisy!
Celestia Ludenberg: He’s a walking set of school rules.
Oogami Sakura: He’s a true Japanese male.
Fukawa Touko: L-Leave me alone.
Asahina Aoi: He lacks flexibility.
Kirigiri Kyouko: …Do as you like.
Maizono Sayaka: He’s great! (<– She means 'great for the things he does’.)
Have you ever died in a nightmare?
Woke up surprised you hadn't earned your fate?
CREATURE HEAD ANGLE REFS !!
literally the only thing that bothers me about James McAvoy's Charles Xavier is whenever they have him using a manual wheelchair as opposed to his power chair.
first off, let me just say i LOVE the inclusion of a manual chair for Xavier's character. i think it shows that he's not just always bopping around in his high tech power chair and i love it.
BUT.
could they not have brought a single wheelchair user to show him how to propel himself? he spins his wheels with the least efficiency possible. i imagine it must have been absolute hell on his shoulders to do that.
if you're unsure what i'm talking about, this is the recommended stroke pattern when propelling yourself in a wheelchair on level ground:
this allows for the least amount of strain on the shoulders while maximizing the distance with each push.
this is the stroke pattern recommended for travelling uphill:
it's also the way that, when i first got my wheelchair, i (mistakenly) propelled. it hurt a shit ton and i didn't go very far on flat ground, so i wasted a lot more energy than necessary.
it's also the way james mcavoy propels in almost every instance of using a manual wheelchair in the x-men movies (i'd include gifs but i can't find any so you're gonna have to take my word for it). occasionally he'll reach a smidge further back but not nearly enough to get the maximum efficiency from each stroke.
one could argue that maybe he is so used to the power chair that he never really learned to use a manual wheelchair. but he uses one MULTIPLE times in the prequel movies. come on man.
otherwise absolutely love him but like... when will we get actual accurate disability rep
i dont remember dr3 this is what happened right
a few more smol takas
