Highkey adopting all these kids. FUCK their parents

On a random note, Jataro Kemuri is my precious son and I will accept no slander.

In the end of it all, Monaca Towa was still a child.

To start this off, this isn't my usual Black Butler posts but ive been meaning to talk about Danganronpa for a hot minute, so please bear with me! Second, this is solely my opinion and before anyone wants to attack me please read thoroughly first. Thank you:)

Also, before we dive in I'm going to list some trigger warnings:

Physcological abuse

Physical abuse

Manipulation

P*dophillia

Suicide attempt

Violence (?)

Childhood trauma

Please take care and read at your own risk<3

Hello there Danganronpa fandom! Today I will be talking about Monaca Towa (as stated in the title) and how people often minimize her trauma and sometimes forget the fact that shes still a child who got heavily manipulated by Junko too.

Monaca is seemingly very amiable and caring, because of her charming personality, all of the Warriors of Hope love her and try their best to keep her happy and go along with what she wants. However, it's slowly revealed that she is actually manipulative and cunning behind her friendly facade.

Monoca is a character that is cruel, manipulative, and extremly unhinged. Many of her actions cannot be excused or justified, but you can understand where she's coming from.

Monaca's Backstory:

She was born an unwanted child by both her father and her mother. Monaca's mother was supposed to take care of her but instead abandoned the child soon after her birth. Because of all her actions, Monaca saw her mother as a completely selfish and pathetic person. Monaca's father thought of giving her to an orphanage but instead took her into his family.

However, Monaca was always unwanted and everyone else felt uncomfortable around her. Every time Monaca smiled or joked, the others looked at her coldly, as if she didn't deserve to laugh. Every time she spoke, the others turned silent. His older-half brother thought of her as an alien, not part of the family.

She was also physically abused to the point that she pretended to be seriously wounded for them to stop as a result.

Monaca also attended Hope's Peak Elementary School and was part of the "trouble-makers class" along with Nagisa, Masaru, Jataro, and Kotoko.

Along with her fellow abused classmates, she planned a group suicide; however, Monaca never had any plans to commit suicide in the first place and was planning to let the others die as a prank.

The group suicide was stopped by Junko, who took the kids in and manipulated them by treating them with kindness and love.

Monaca then helped Junko mass produce Monokumas for the Tragedy by using her position as a representative of the Towa Group.

She lied to her father and the other adults in order to produce the Monokumas, telling them that she wanted to create futuristic robots that could be domestic helpers and emergency aid workers.

Due to her separation from the family and her genius, her family decided to give her leg room to do what she wanted as long as she brought in profits to the company, and didn't delve too deeply into her plans.

Things to keep in mind about Monoca's backstory:

She was emotionally and physically abused from a very young age.

She started to pretend to be paraplegic because she was finally treated with some kindness and she could have more control over people.

She convinced Nagisa, Jataro, Kotoko and Masaru to commit suicide.

Out of all the Warriros of Hope, Junko took the most intrest in Monoca due to her position, meaning that she was the one who got used and manipulated the most.

How Monoca's mindset works:

The moment she got physically abused to the point that she had to fake her injuries to make her family feel bad was the moment she learned that through sympathy from others comes power. Due to her families neglection and abuse, she started to quickly pick up on things in which benefited her yet hurt others.

She started to use manipulative tactics on her family to gain control over them. She then started implicating these tactics with the Warriors of Hope.

When Junko got into the picture, everything changed for the worst. Junko was the only person in Monaca's life who showed her affection. Even though deep down Monaca knew Junko only cared for her as a means to use her robotics genius for the Tragedy, Monaca didn't care, and happily helped out Junko with her plans if it meant being loved and appreciated in return. At the heart of it, despite all her horrific acts, that's a very child-like thing to do, right? So when Junko dies, Monaca's entire reason for living basically disappears.

AI Junko via Kurokuma may have planted the idea of a successor in her head, but in Monaca's mind it's a way to get her big sis back, and very specifically chooses to mold Komaru into becoming Junko's successor. That's for a big reason, Monaca doesn't want to become Junko, I'd say she actually just wanted her big sister back who would love and appreciate her again, and hence tried to make someone else take on that role initially. Once again, that's the mindset of a child.

Monaca's relationship with the Warriors of Hope:

The Warriors of Hope are a group of children who are extremely resentful and hateful of adults, regardless of whether or not they were involved in their rough paths. 

We all know that the Warriros of Hope are extememly tramutized kids. Masaru had alcoholic parents who physically abused him, Jataro was physcologically abused to the point he bealived he was so ugly that if anyone saw his "repulsive" face they would die, Kotoko was r*ped multiple times by disgusting p*dophilic men (not to mention, Monaca's brother was attracted to her), and last but not least we have Nagisa who had pressuring parents who wanted to raise him as the child prodigy and expirimented on him constantly.

Monaca used the Warriros of Hope's trauma against them, manipulating them to the point were they had to do her bidding completly.

As much as I hate to say it, Monaca truly saw them as pawns. Although there are some instances where she openly declares her care for the Warriors of Hope, it's likely she does that as a form of emotional manipulation.

If anything, she probably did see them as equal in the beginning but then when she started to gain control over her own family, she started to do the same with the Warriors of Hope as a way to protect herself from getting hurt, then again this is my baseless assumption.

Her dynamic with Nagito:

Monaca was amused by Nagito's strange behavior and contradicting beliefs and appeared to be somewhat annoyed with him at the times. However, the two appeared to at least seemingly respect each other in some way, as they treated each other somewhat formally as allies.

Her dynamic with Nagito is one of the most intresting ones. Obviously I think that her being rasied by Nagito was potentially a dangerous thing, considering Nagito's goal was for Monaca to become Enoshima's successor. Monaca seemed to agree with this goal, but Nagito's constant rambling about hope and despair made Monaca bored and feel embarrassed about the whole thing.

She claims he made her an adult in a way, as she grew up in the mental sense and became more cynical and apathetic, not really caring about anything.

In the end, Monaca found Nagito creepy and annoying, but she also appeared to get closer to him during their time together, while originally calling him just "Mister Servant" in UDG, she later refers to him as "Big Bro" in Danganronpa 3. I do think their dynamic was sort of soft and I would've loved to have seen more of it. Honestly the concept of Nagito being a soft brother to Monaca warms my heart, and the wasted potential will forever anger me.

(If any Danganronpa fanfic writer or any writer in general is reading this post: if u could be so kind and do a PLATONIC Nagito and Monaca prompt and tag me in it, I would love you forever!!)

My opinion on Monaca:

I think that Monaca was a very well-written character who deserved more than what she got in the end of Danganronpa 3. She was abused, mistreated and belittled by her family. If anything, I see her as a completely misguided little girl. If she actually had a positive authoritative influence in her life, she wouldn't have turned astray.

A lot of people disregard Monaca's trauma and forget that at the end of the day, Monaca was a child who the moment she was born, the people who were supposed to love her were unwelcoming.

Don't get me wrong though, there is no way in hell I will ever justify or condone the things Monaca has done. If anything, I just think that she alongside the rest of the Warriors of Hope should've been properly taken care of.

Also, if you dislike/hate Monaca thats 100% valid! She did a lot of inexcusable things and its alright to hate on her. I personally love her character but I know she is not everyones cup of tea.

If you read all the way, I'm actually surprised! Thank you and I hope you enjoyed<333

OH MY GODS IT'S MONACA

good afternoon ╰(*´︶`*)╯♡

[mineral-vulture]

Than you again for fixing up my line work, adding some missing details, and coloring it. This looks great and I am happy I was able to make a silly piece like this while capturing the two characters well.

monaca towa 🤝 percival tachyon small yet surprisingly intelligent villains who use mobility aids despite being perfectly capable of walking, possess knowledge of advanced technology to the point of building their own robot army, and have legions of followers they have personally either conscripted or brainwashed. they are also criminally underutilized antagonists that debuted in a game where the protagonists are a same-sex buddy duo, and said game has a weapon that makes your enemies dance. anyhow, silly crossover collab effort between me and my bud pierce! i did the initial draft concept, pierce did the actual drawing and inking! cleanup, lineart tweaks, and colors were all handled by me! also for anyone who’s still into danganronpa at the tail end of 2023, i got a side tumblr exclusively geared towards DR stuff if anyone wants to follow it. maybe some exclusive doodles will pop up there? who knows!

serendipity. (ii)

─── chapter 2 ! ~  i feel like i know you (i sure hope not)

summary; when you, a waitress at the local coffee shop, are paired up with the new recruit scaramouche, you’re pretty sure both of you are going to get fired within a week. he’s just quit being a social media influencer and after being forced to work here to make ends meet, he’s ready to let everyone there know how much he hates it. the worst part? you can’t shake the feeling that you know him from somewhere. but as he slowly warms up to you, scaramouche realises that having a fresh start isn’t that bad after all, and perhaps the two of you meeting like this was pure serendipity.

[dangansins-confessional]

See exactly- where are the lines??? for the Despairs? bc we know even non-Despair Mikan thinks about disabling a lover permanently so they have to rely on her.

And Kaz is...a freak /pos /hesitant

I dont think non-Despair Kazuichi would EVER do that but... Despair Kazuichi made machines that tortured and killed people... Mondo into butter... Celeste burned alive... Leon pummeled to death, etc etc.

Surely the tenta-arms would be easy... esp if he wasnt told /what/ they were for. But was instead just handed he blueprints... itd be childs play... Maybe Monoca designed them and he built them?

oh Kaz...

MONOCA MAGICAL GIRL TRANSFORMATION????

[channydraws]

Channy! I know from blog that you know Danganronpa, have you played or seen playthrough of Ultra Despair Girls and if so, thoughts?

Monoca evil, fuck her.

her brother worse, kill him.

Jotaro my baby child wtf. Komaru needs a longer skirt. Toko why you aint save NAGISA he was the least bad out of them kids. Kotoko needs mega therapy, actually all the kids do, help them pls. And still pissed at those adults being all "kill the kids even though all but 3 of them at this point are being mind controlled I always hated kids" LIKE BRO?????

I liked the idea of r rated codename kids next door where they were all lil evil masterminds but damn-

could have been less. everything.

LOVE TOKO'S ARC THO SHE'S GREAT DIDN'T LIKE HER TOKO SIDE MUCH TIL I SAW DESPAIR GIRLS

[dearest-painter]

I feel like blonde haired BEN is bit more evil than the green haired canon BEN. Well in canon version there’s two Ben’s the entity one green haired one and the boy who’s name was Benjamin Lawman. But I still prefer the Blonde haired Peter Pan-like one. Since I personally find him a lot more realistically scary compared to green haired- (it make sense if blonde haired BEN is like Junko, and green haired BEN is like Monoca Lmao, I realized Junko is blonde and Monoca has green hair!) anyways…. BEN Reader treats green hai one like little brother(or treats them like a slave/badly and manipulates them, uh oh how bad can I be?)

Kooo u like it! And yeah, Junko is strawberry blonde! I love this idea so so so much!
