I missed you too
The Parent Trap
---
I ended up watching the original 1961 Parent Trap and LORD but there's a lot going on in that film. But ignoring the more . . . distressingly unhealthy 60s attitude toward marriage dynamics. . . The actual twin swap is such a good angle (and the effects genuinely hold up really well) I just wanted to capture the stress of trying to assimilate into a life so unlike your own, and that gut punch moment when they get to meet their missing parent for the first time.
And from there I just couldn't help imagine a future parent reconciliation, with a couple of siblings added into the mix . . .
Tumblr media
Unlike in the film where they were right to have gotten divorced (and shoulda stayed super divorced)- Takaaki and Kiyoko's seperation was very much a symptom of Toranosuke's scandal and demanded by Kiyoko's father. So when they meet once again as a result of the Twin's shenanigans, the two of them could easily develop a genuine connection, now they're older, more experienced, and freed from the pressure of expectation. And I'm not immune to making every red eyed Dangan character an Ishimaru sibling
(Truth be told, this has been on my mind ever since @puckishpal 's just marvellous fic Changed, and I really wanted to get this out in time for @mini-mecha-cowboy 's Kiyotaka week prompts AU and Lookalike, but uuuh- I managed to miss that by just a few ;; )

:-o! This was super sweet! I'm so sorry it's taken an age for me to properly see it, it slipped thorough my mentions just when I wasn't too online...
I think you nailed the twins being cheeky little buggers, and I love that Taka plays along with the shenanigans! Kiyo blanching at the idea of Mondo giving him a kiss got me creased! XD
And Michi's revenge on Ishida was perfect
Tumblr media
I'm not gonna lie, seeing folk inspired by the parent trap AU has given me some more comic ideas for the boys... 👀
Birthday Gone Bonkers
Summary: It's June 9th, which means it's our favorite dog-loving biker's birthday! And his kyoudai has early morning plans for him in the form of greeting him bright and early on his special day!
However, someone else has early morning plans as well-
Inspiration for this story comes from @mickules (hope the mention is okay :'3) and their parent trap AU featuring Taka and Ishida as brothers! To summarize, chaos ensues with both of them in the same room >:3
6:09 AM.
Of all times to be woken up from one of the best sleeps so far this early into summer break, it was this early.
However, the time served its purpose.
As Mondo reached one sleep-numb arm to the nightstand to nab his phone off the charger, the time and date were in sync. His eyes squinted at the screen, the room still being dark and him being just roused from deep slumber, and did a miniature double-take upon realization:
June 9th at 6:09 AM.
His birthday.
A humored huff left his lips and blew a few strands of bleached orange hair from his vision as he held the phone up to his ear, sleepy grin intact until a voice as loud as a freight train yanked him from his daze, causing him to almost chuck the phone against the wall.
"Happy birthday, little bro!"
Daiya, you scumbag...
"Heh, thanks Dai..." he nearly whispered, voice still deep and raspy from sleep. "But I gotta ask, was this on purpose?"
"Whaddya mean, my guy?" His older brother questioned, the smile apparent in his voice on the other line. "OH, the time! Yeahhh, that was intentional."
"What on Earth gave ya the idea to wake me up this early?" Mondo questioned, bringing his free fist to rub the sleep from his eyes.
"Oh, it was Michi's idea!" Daiya confessed. Just as he stated this, another voice came over the line, further rousing Mondo from sleep.
"Yo, s'that Mondo?" Takemichi's voice came through muffled, as if he were trying to shove Daiya out of the way so he could get to the phone. "HEY BIG GUY, HAPPY BIRTHDAY!"
Mondo squeezed his eyes shut at this second ear-blasting birthday wish, but responded the same as he did to Daiya; he ;et out a sleep-laced chuckle. "Thanks, lil dude."
"Hard to believe you're still younger than me even though you're a giant!" Daiya teased from beside Michi.
"HEY," Mondo fussed, mentally making a fist as he wanted nothing more to put Daiya in a headlock after that. "Ya don't gotta bring that up all the time, dude!"
A few belly-shaking laughs came from the older biker, and Michi, on the other line, was hunched over, wheezing himself as he slapped a hand over his knee.
"Nah, I'm just messin' with ya, big guy," Daiya reassured. "Jus' figured we'd give ya a call before you get swept up in the day. We're gonna try and stop by later if my bike comes outta the shop in time."
"Ahh, no worries if ya can't," Mondo admitted, sweeping his hair out of his face. "We can always go out an' celebrate late if that's what we gotta do."
"Whatever floats your boat, broski," Michi chimed in again.
"Pssh, love ya too, lil guy."
"What was that, you big ol-"
"Enough, Michi, let the boss man go," Daiya scolded playfully. "Besides, his kyoudai is probably already up by how loud we've been screamin'."
Mondo snorted. This wouldn't be the first time that he'd woken Taka up during an early morning call, or morning in general. Sometimes it was the snoring, other times he may or may not have rolled him off the bed...
He did a double-take towards the door when he thought he picked out the sound of the floorboards creaking from outside his bedroom, followed by the sound of footsteps getting louder and shuffling across the wood before descending downstairs. He slapped a hand to his forehead and rubbed it as he groaned internally:
Ah shit, did I actually wake him up?
"Mon, hey, you there?" Michi was trying to get his attention from the other line, and he shook his head to clear it as he sputtered.
"Y-yeah, sorry man, just..." He glanced back at the door. "Thought I heard somethin'. It's still early, ya know?"
"Yeah, we gotcha," the shorter blonde assured. "We're gonna let ya go now in case ye wanna catch another few winks."
Daiya took the phone. "What lil man said, we'll talk to ya later. I'll let ya know if we're gonna make it."
Mondo nodded. "Yeah, sure thing. Talk later, bro."
"Bye-bye, birthday boy~" The two jeered teasingly, hanging up quickly so Mondo wouldn't have enough time to bite back.
"HEY, why I oughta-!" He sighed as the line went dead, swinging his legs over the side of the bed to put his phone back on the charger and slip on a white sleeveless top before shuffling towards the door.
Might as well get a head start today...
Upon closing the door to his bedroom, Mondo swore he could hear whispers coming from the hallways. He checked behind him towards the door that housed Taka's room, but it was shut and nobody was there.
Then, it hit him: he had heard something earlier...
Downstairs...
Having not bothered to out his hair up even into a low ponytail, Mondo swept the mop of strands that hung over his face to one side, raking his hand through it to smooth it down before descending the stairwell to the adjoined living room and kitchen. As he did, the whispers seemed to cease, having taken notice of the biker's presence.
Upon entering the living room, he could make out Taka through blurry eyes.
"Happy birthday, kyoudai!"
The third wish of the day wasn't as loud as those of his brothers, for he was a distance away from him, so he shot a wink and a still-sleepy grin in his directions.
"Thanks, bro, but don't ya think it's a bit too-"
Mondo paused mid-sentence as he was, quite literally, seeing double. There were two outlines of his bro standing in front of him, and he tried rubbing his eyes to rid of the double vision.
Nope, still two of him. And his eyes weren't even blurry...
Wait wait wait-
"What's the matter, bro?" The two of him said in sync, tilting their heads to the side while sparing each other a sideways glance, red eyes glimmering even this early in the morning.
"Don't you pull this kinda shit with me today..." He snarled lowly.
"What? Whatever do you mean?" The Taka on the left spoke, rather confused.
"I haven't the slightest clue what you mean, kyoudai..." The right Taka admitted, eyes keeping their gaze on Mondo.
"Kiyo, you fucker..." Mondo sneered, eyes flicking between the two forms of his bro, trying to discern which one of the two was his real kyoudai.
Kiyo, nickname for Taka's twin brother, Ishida, had the tendency to disguise himself as his older sibling with makeup and hair dye, as well as spot-on voice mimicry. The only difference between the two was an ever so slight difference in their eye color, but Mondo was both too enraged and sleepy still to put effort into glaring deep into their eyes to make the real one out.
So alternate measures had to be taken... he'd figure out which one was the real Taka through means of recalling their knowledge of each other.
"Alright, this is how it's gonna go..." Mondo clarified with a clearing of his throat. "I'm gonna quiz ya both and break down the details. I'm gonna figure out which one of ya is fuckin' around with me."
Both Taka's eyes widened before collectively nodding, lips pursed together.
"Aight, uh, first off," Mondo's brain chugged to life as he tried to think of what to ask first. "What color are my eyes?"
"Purple," both of the Takas said in unison, with the one on the left perking up. "You do know that that's super obvious, right?"
Mondo huffed and wiped the corner of his lip with his thumb. "Yeah yeah, right, just startin' off easy! Now uh... what breed of dog is Chuck back at home?"
"A maltese," both Takas replied.
"You introduced him and his breed the day we met!" The Taka on the right piped up with a smile.
Mondo was getting frustrated now, even after two simple questions that had obvious answers. He pondered over the current situation and what information he had gathered.
Both had responded after answering at least once, one questioning him about how obvious and straightforward his questions and answers were, while the other followed up with gleefully recalling the reason behind the answer.
The real Taka wouldn't question him asking stupid questions, even thought he was a bit of a numbnut...
He could try one last thing...
"Alrighty then," Mondo perked up with this last proposition, a smirk creeping up onto his face. "One last thing...who wants their good morning kiss?"
At this, both Takas let out little gasps. The one on the right's cheeks went extremely pink, while the one on the left had a drop of sweat leak down his forehead and then his temple...
Leaving a trail of black without him seeming to notice...
Aha!
After analyzing their brief reactions, Mondo chuckled before approaching the Taka on the right, the one on the left watching from a sideways glance as he brought up a knuckle to wipe away the "sweat," only for his skin to come away black.
"Gotcha," Mondo rasped before pressing a brief smooch to the real Taka's lips, earning a squeak from him and hearing the other go:
"Awe, rats!"
After their brief embrace, Mondo and Taka turned to their left and saw the other Taka's eyes ignite, the black fading from his hair and revealing snowy white fluff as the dye leaked down his undershirt and his arms.
"Almost had ya, punk!" Ishida grumbled, ruffling his hair in defeat, almost having stolen a kiss from his lovesick brother on his kyoudai's birthday, of all days.
"Oh, don't think yer getting off the hook so easily," Mondo growled, a bony finger coming to point directly at him. "When my bros get here, so help me God, yer screwed..."
"Also, Kiyo..." Taka chimed in, a finger of his own pointing at his brother. "You're about to get hair dye all over the carpet."
Ishida glanced down his arms and the black trails of dye, looking like an eyeliner pen had exploded on him. He shrugged and slipped his white tank top off to mop at his skin, much to the dismay of Taka and Mondo.
"What? I'll just put er in the wash and it'll be spick and span!" He had missed a few spots, the inky dye leaving stained streaks down his arms and chest like zebra stripes.
"Yer gonna need a shower after we're done with ya..."
Unbeknownst to them, Daiya and Takemichi had arrived at their shared home and snuck the door open as the three had their confrontation, with the brothers holding back snickers as Michi had snuck a photo of the moment Mondo gave Taka a kiss.
Everyone whipped their heads towards the front door, and eyes instantly widened as Michi made his way towards Ishida, a pair of cupcakes in hand.
"H-hey little dude, wh- what're ya doing with those?" Ishida stammered, scooting towards the stairs.
"Oh, nothin'..." The blonde sneered, an evil smile pasted across his face. "Jus' wanna offer ya a little taste of...brotherly love."
He lunged at the white-haired twin, and Ishida yelped and made a beeline up the stairs, Michi right on his heels.
As the remaining three watched the early morning commotion, Daiya nonchalantly shut the door before pacing over to Mondo. "Wonder what the neighbors are gonna think of that one," he chimed right before putting his younger brother in a miniature headlock and mussing his already unkempt hair. "Happy birthday again, lil man!"
"I already told ya, I'm not LITTLE!" Mondo snapped, arms grasping at his older brother's in an attempt to get his own around his neck. The two had a miniature wrestling match before Taka intervened.
"Gentlemen, PLEASE!" He shouted the last word, causing them both to freeze where they stood, one of Mondo's hands deep into messing up Daiya's pompadour, while the older one's left arm was still around Mondo's shoulders. "It's still too early for this kind of horseplay!"
"Oh, like yer one to talk," Mondo spat teasingly as he winked in Taka's direction, making his cheeks flare up slightly. "YOU'RE the early riser around these parts that likes to rouse me outta hibernation!"
"Because the morning is important! You have to start your day the right way there and then!" The flush in his cheeks got deeper with this next bit. "E-especially today, cause it's your birthday!"
The brothers gave each other seething stares before they released each other, both going to smooth down their messed up hair. Mondo stepped forward to give Taka's own hair a rustle, the prefect's hands grasping at his wrists in protest, which earned laughs from both the Owadas.
A few seconds passed before someone could be heard stomping down the stairs. Ishida was back, only this time, with frosting matted in his locks and Michi's legs hooked around his abdomen as he kept himself latched on while rubbing the remains of the cupcakes through his hair. Both looked across at the trio, Ishida's eyes sagging with defeat but still glimmering with unseen rage, while Michi still had a smug grin across his face.
"What are y'all waiting for?" The blonde shouted gleefully. "Time to start the day!"
"Stop, lil dude, yer startin' to sound like Ishi," Mondo teased, earning a mock gasp and a playful smack to his chest from the back of the prefect's hand.
"How dare-!"
"I'm playin', dude, I'm playin' with ya, I promise!"
After a few more little laughs at the state everybody was in, they all collectively stared at Mondo, to which he responded with a classic rubbing of the back of his neck and a stammering response.
"Th-thank you guys, really. You make my birthday worthwhile."
He reached his arms out and dragged everyone into a big group hug, a few 'oof's escaping from Michi and Taka before they returned the gesture.
"Happy birthday to me, indeed..."

Omg imagine Taka and Ishida on the debate team-
These asks are all about [this comic]!
Tumblr media
@rattywatts @inezzknivess
YES, GO OFF! 100% EXACTLY! His 'Super High School Level' title would be along the lines of "Debate Team member", like how Taka's is "Public Morals Committee member" No one else would ever get a look in if they were both on the debate team - it'd be a linguistical massacre
Tumblr media
I do mention in [this ask] the status of 'Ishida' in my non-despair AU, but I'll make it a little clearer:
In my main non-despair comics, 'Ishida' doesn't exist. Taka does however display some 'Ishida like tendencies' when he gets pushed to [the breaking point] but it's not an alter, just him loosing grip on his repressed temper
Kiyondo Ishida, the 'Ultimate Devil's Advocate' exists in a new, totally unplanned 'Parent Trap' AU, which is completely separate from my main comics.
In this vein, my [Angst comics] exist post-tragedy in the main timeline of the games, usually during/after Ultra Despair Girls and is also separate from the main non-despair AU.
(The [pride] comic takes place in none of the AUs incidentally just to be even more confusing, but exists as a standalone)
They're tagged pretty vaguely at the moment, I'll try to use more specific unique tags to make my stuff easier to sort though tho' it's luck of the draw if tumblr will behave; probably ~ #dangan/parenttrap , #dangan/mainAU , #dangan/angstAU full comics are under #dangan-colourcomic-ranpan , and the sketched ones; #dangan-minicomic-ranpan
Tumblr media
(Glad you liked!!) The tiny Ishimaru twins growing up together is such an adorable image! Ishida's social acumen would definitely diminish his trust in others, seeing how people treat them solely because of their names and gravitate toward bullying Taka, but it's ultimately Taka's boundless positive determination that stops Ishida from giving in to his resentment. They bolster each other up.
---
I can certainly see 'Ishida' being something of a nom de plume. Not only so his detractors can't get back to his maternal family, but also so he isn't incumbered by his paternal Ishimaru name. Ishida definitely thinks Taka's naive for his insistence on working his way toward his goals whilst still bearing such a burden, but he's also impressed by his dedication. (I tend to call Kiyotaka- Taka and Kiyondo - Ishida, just so it's more obvious at a glance who I mean, but Taka calls him 'Kiyo')
---
It's impressive that the chronically overworked father of two equally excessively enthusiastic identical twins still has enough mental energy tell them apart most of the time, let alone when they're actively trying to trick him: a testament to his observational skills. But damn right he'd be more than a little salty to know that Mondo can do it without even trying.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
@chinchillasinunison Mondo: 👀 "ya got different eye colours. . ." Taka: "I'm surprised Mondo! You don't usually notice those sorts of things . . . I never knew you had such observational skills!" Mondo: "yess s s . . .Of course! I gotta eye for detail, s'not just you. . . I could notice stuff about anyone!" Ishida: 🤔
Mondo is as subtle as a brick to the face Just as well Taka is hopelessly oblivious. Ishida on the other hand. . .
---
@mangoisgay Good eye! A+! I'm honestly impressed! You're totally right, that's the other way I differentiate between the two :)
--
(You're totally right about the gum lmao; I missed that! XD) PLUS Leon's probably the type to convince Taka that "Bro, it's totally nicotine gum! You can't tell me to stop smoking and then say I can't have any quitting aids! It's free period Taka, lighten up!"
Tumblr media
@spacepaprika Ishida would NEVER let Taka live it down if that's how he found out his precious straight-laced brother is dating a notorious gang leader who Ishida wouldn't trust as far as he could throw him
Tumblr media
@hellowhatwhythings How could I criticise something so obviously correct?
Tumblr media
You got it right, no misinterpretations here! I figured, If they're identical twins, one of 'em has to dye their hair. Taka's always had his appearance judged in conjunction with his families reputation, and so thought perhaps dying his hair a more common colour for his Hope's Peak high school debut might make him look less intense and help make him more approachable. But Taka didn't factor his personality into why people might find him so extreme.
---
Taka would unlikely be willing to actively deceive his Hope's Peak classmates and friends - but he'd certainly see the benefit to having troublemakers letting down their guard thinking it's anarchistic Ishida they're talking to and not prefect Taka. Ishida, however, would have zero qualms messing around with the class, just as long as Taka doesn't catch him doing it. (also consider: Taka not running out but Ishida sequestering it)
---
Taka probably wouldn't be the only one who accidentally washes his hair dye out at the beach, tho' he'd definitely be the only one who ends up with a flashier hairdo afterward, walking out of the water looking like the ghost of a sailor lost at sea
---
Bless, Ishida is so used to having full control of a room, that he's so out of his depth when it comes to the vehement insistence of Taka's classmates to confine him to sick bay. Honestly having the whole of class 78 descend upon you would be terrifying. No wonder he gets Taka to defend him!
Tumblr media
Basically an old fashioned, stronger worded 'cheeky monkey', closer to 'impertinent or impudent person' Gotta pull out the big cuss words for Ishida (seems like it's more commonly written 'jackanapeS' for some unfathomable reason)
---
@cinnabunni5123 OH OH!! Absolutely please feel free to do so if you wanna!! :-O !! I kinda fell ass over backwards into this parent-trap AU not gonna lie; It's all very 'by the seat of my pants'! But if you wanna use any of my comics or concepts as an base/inspiration for a fic or art you're more than welcome to; that's super cool! Please do let me know tho, with an ask or a mention, I'd love to see where you take it :)
(next set of asks [about taka’s habits and the thh kids]) (previous set of asks [mostly just miscellaneous text answers])

i would love if ishida and ishimaru were twins! Their interactions would be great! People when they first see ishida are like did taka dye his hair?
Tumblr media
*whispers* H . . . Hope's Peak Parent Trap I might unironically love 'reunited long lost twins'? There's no way someone hasn't already done that tho' XD If Ishida and Taka were to meet at Hope's Peak; what would Ishida's Ultimate be? Feels appropriate that it'd also be work based like Taka's and not an inborn skill but I'm drawing a blank . . . Ishida is SO GOOD, I've seen so many versions, as a brother, as an alter, as a transformation - and I eat them up. The fanbase really picked up the slack from where Dangan dropped the ball.
(edit: *whispers* -> there’s now a [full comic] of these parent trap boys)
Tumblr media
Don't be so sure you haven't already seen him . . . 👀 (some of yous are observant as HELL and I LIVE for it! Gets me SO JAZZED!!)
I'll elaborate-
Unlike in THH, in this AU 'Ishida' isn't fully formed nor separate from Taka. But rather a different side of him that is very rarely ever seen. (Not unlike someone who has a total shift in attitude when they're hangry.)
Taka is pretty heavily repressed, and has no healthy outlet for it. 'Ishida' is every child-like impulse to bite back- to insult- to retaliate- to sink down to his detractors level, that Taka has to push aside in order to do the Moral Thing and be the 'bigger man'. If he's rattled enough however, he temporarily forgets to give a fuck about his self imposed rules and passes straight through flight/fight and goes into completely feral instead - THAT'S his 'Ishida' side.
Completely random example: if, mayhaps, his kyoudai were to be violently assaulted right in front of him? If he were thinking clearly, Taka would act to protect Mondo and escape from the attackers; but 'Ishida' would make sure to teach them a lesson by unnecessarily breaking a jaw, a nose and 3 ribs.
Tumblr media
his hair still goes white, having an effect like how a cat bristles its' fur - mostly 'cos I love the aesthetic, but also I think it's funny if Taka has no idea it happens.
(also kinda apropos- but I love this tag from that comic:
Tumblr media
didn't count on anyone being able to read my blurry ass handwriting XD)
(next set of ask mini-comics are [about Takaaki/Taka’s mum]) (previous set is this [big ol’ ask dump])
