CONFESSIONS OF A ROTTEN GIRL 🍅
All of these photos are from the Danganronpa 4コマ KINGS series. I do not own any of the drawings, but these photos are mine. All credit goes to Spike Chunsoft for the characters and the books themselves.
The wait is over! It's time for Mondo spam :D
He's always so angry lol
Though, I guess it's not always...
Ya'know how Mondo wanted to be a carpenter? He tried fixing a chair once. It went very well, as you can see.....
Make way for the toughest guy in town!
Mondo loves all small animals :)
HE'S KINDA CUTE WHEN HE'S FLUSTERED AWW
Happi boi
What's with Mondo and getting essploded?
Oh, I guess this is why. Just freely handing bombs to people LOL
LMAO imagine watching your bro get executed. Can't relate.
[Not a spoiler, in case anyone is worried]
My tracksuit isn't blue :)
Saj :(
Oh boy, I sure do wonder why his handbook stopped working...
[It's still in his pocket]
He gives zero "effs"
Mondo misses riding his bike :(
He eepy
THE UNDERSIDE OF HIS HAIR LOOKS LIKE A DIVING BOARD I'M SORRY--
I'm sorry, which manga am I reading again?
[Btw, funny note, Monokuma-bot is basically saying "I WILL make you wear white underwear!!"]
HAHA what
Alright, that's all for now! Go, my trusty steed!!
~~~~~~~~~~~~
I had a lot to say about this guy, if you couldn't tell :)
GOD HE'S SO COOL
A lot of his appearances were actually just him interacting with either Chihiro or Taka, actually. Though, that said, after character pictures are done, I'm totally willing to post pairing pictures if you guys want! Just lmk who you want to see in a picture together and I'll post them :)
Also, lmk who you want to see after Kyoko! I've only got 6/16 students lined up so far, so there's plenty more room lol
I really like posting these photos for everyone! It's been really fun so far!
[Btw, use these photos for whatever you like. Credit is always nice, though!]
Next up: Aoi Asahina!

I’m a fierce believer and defender of Smooth Brain Astarion (affectionate).
I love that, if left to his own devices, he ends up dead in a ditch. I love that this pasty menace of an elf is a walking disaster. I love that his brain produces one coherent thought per day, only to have it backfire on him later on. I love that his first choice in freedom is to unapologetically be the worst version of himself. Because it makes sense.
That’s what abuse and trauma do to your brain—they fuck with it.
And in Astarion’s defence, the man didn’t have to use his brain for nearly 200 years—it’s probably the very thing that kept him as alive as he can be; to survive 200 years of pure shit.
And what use is his brain when his days and nights are dictated by someone else for as long as he can remember? When he has no say in what clothes he wears. When he doesn’t get to choose what or when to eat. When his body and mind aren’t his own, distorted by torture and hunger and self-loathing, forced to obey his vampiric master. Why use his brain when his survival depends exclusively on his abuser’s whims?
Astarion could’ve come up with the most brilliant plan possible to escape Cazador or save a mark from their doom, but he never stood a chance of succeeding—which doesn’t mean that he didn’t get punished for trying (or even thinking about it) anyway.
Existing under Cazador was a game he couldn’t win, so why bother playing?
And it’s only by chance that Astarion’s autonomy is returned to him literally overnight. It’s only natural that he’s overwhelmed by his newfound freedom. How is he expected to make sound decisions when he can’t even recall a time when he could do and say as he pleased?
Of course Astarion is a walking disaster when he finds himself on that beach after the Nautiloid crash—and he’s fully aware of that! That’s why it’s so crucial for him to get on the player’s/other companion’s good side.
He’s self-aware enough to be so insecure about himself that he would rather trust a stranger’s capabilities than his own.
Being a catastrophe of a person is part of Astarion’s character journey. Not only does he have to reclaim his personhood, he has to learn how to depend on his own brain again and I think that's such a painfully beautiful, important message Baldur’s Gate 3 sends.
Because healing isn’t pretty. Nor is it easy.
You’re not alright the moment you’re free of whatever horrors you had to live through—and that’s ok! There’s time and room for you to adjust.
And the moment Astarion feels more or less safe within his new environment, when he’s fed and treated like a person worthy of respect and consideration, his insights, skills and perception are crucial assets to the group.
Astarion knows his art and literature, and although his little remarks are unhinged at times, he's genuinely witty. Even his objections are, considering the circumstances, absolutely legitimate.
Personally, I love seeing Smooth Brain Astarion become more and more secure in his judgement the more Tav/other companions trust and support him.
Astarion is smart, his brain’s just been stewed for nearly 200 years.
