10 - Favorite Chosen Child-Digimon bond.

Listen, I’ve been using this challenge as an excuse to talk about characters I never really talk about. I love how many of you have talked about Jou and Gomamon, or V-mon ad Daisuke, even Yamato and Gomamon.

It’s honestly so hard to pick just one pair, since Digimon have been partnered with these kids for a reason, it’s destiny. So, considering this, it’s so hard to pick just one because they’ve been made to be the perfect match to said Chosen Children.

But I had to woman up and pick one because goddamnit, it’s my (and @takerusfedora) activity. Finally, I decided to go with Mimi and Palmon. (And no, this is not because I’ve just recently changed my icon to fashion icon!Palmon).

We all know how much Mimi grew during Adventure, she’s the one who grew in a more external, perhaps obvious way. She arrived to the Digital World being a spoiled girl. She got stronger, more mature, but without stop being Mimi at any time. This wouldn’t have been possible without Palmon by her side.

Even after all the growing she did, when they get back to the Digital World, and she reunited with her friends (since it seems she wasn’t really close with any of the other Chosen Children before the camp), she takes two steps back. And it will never leave my mind how she called Palmon ugly.

It was in the same leg of the series that Palmon digivolves to Lilimon and Mimi is stunned by her. Mimi will never stop being the girl who loves pretty things, but in that moment she realizes that Palmon was never ugly, Palmon was in fact the most beautiful thing in her life and she never goes back to thinking she was ugly.

Since that moment Mimi and Palmon have been an extension of the other, Palmon even sticking to Mimi’s mom’s awful food, having to constantly travel and everything else. These girls love each other, and no pun intended, in the most purely way. And I love them for that.

They call themselves the ‘Birds of Prey’. I call them ‘dorky little do-gooders’.

Second time seeing Birds of Prey and damn I love how they went all in with Helena being completely socially awkward. I feel like a lot of films would have had her be some smooth talker or seductress or whatever but BOP really went “if you spent your entire life being raised by a mob family and then assassins you probably have -10 social skills” and I’m obsessed with it

Y’all I finally got to Laurel’s death in Arrow and I am unreasonably upset like she was my favorite character 😫 She went through so much and I don’t care that she gets an alternate universe version I wanted this one to thrive for once on this show 😫

Why did they kill her she was finally in her WELL DESERVED place as the Black Canary??? Was it Olicity or because they just didn’t like the character. Her death served no purpose it just happened so Oliver (who constantly did her dirty) could be sad 😣

[cjcarpenter1]

And so, the woman dies. The woman dies so the man can be sad about it. The woman dies so the man can suffer. She dies to give him a destiny. Dies so he can fall to the dark side. Dies so he can lament her death. As he stands there, brimming with grief, brimming with life, the woman lies there in silence. The woman dies for him. We watch it happen. We read about it happening. We come to know it well.

Kombat Kast’s lore minute just revealed Sindel is now OFFICIALLY pure evil - never possessed, never brainwashed. NRS just decided that she has always been this way and “we just didn’t know about it until now”.

[cjcarpenter1]

Pouring one out for Sindel. She didn't deserve this shitty and lazy writing NRS did to her.

[cjcarpenter1]

I was trying to be not-so-aggressive with my rant and try to explain and be formal. Unfortunately, not for this rant. So... yes I get it, the timeline is reseted once again and these retcons are not really official or maybe they are. But as someone who grew up with the games since childhood. Allow me to express my anger.

Seriously fuck NRS and their lazy writing of the characters on this game! Out of all the retcons I've seen the fans rage. Sindel's has to be the most vocal one I've seen so far. What they did to her character is outrageous and disgusting. The sindel that fans grew up with or new fans knew her role in the games. She was the noble queen of edenia and ruled with her husband Jerrod. Edenia is known to be a peaceful and beautiful realm. Shao kahn invaded it to conquer it and have sindel as his wife through forced marriage. Sindel depressed over her husband being murdered, her realm conquered, and forced into marriage with her husband's murderer. Sindel sacrificed herself to cast a protection spell on kitana, to not become corrupted like shao kahn and on earthrealm to prevent shao kahn from ever invading it. Once she was resurrected and freed from shao Kahn's, shang tsung's evil magic. She freed and ruled edenia once again and made sure her realm was never invaded again with kitana and Jade by her side. But once kitana was controlled by Quan chi in deadly alliance and deception and the dragon king onaga threaten to return from his slumber. Sindel and jade had a role to try to prevent onaga from emerging and protect edenia and its allies. With this retcon, sindel willing threw her realm, husband and her people just to have her privileged life. Flirts and wants to sleep with almost all of the men in the roster. Is perfectly fine with slavery and human trafficking. And her sacrifice was just staged by Quan chi who is now the true mastermind in this new timeline and forced sindel to commit suicide for his and kronika's plan.

Shitty ass lazy non-creative writing. Especially for their reason just because sindel looks 'evil'. Hell cetrion doesn't look evil but she is considered somewhat evil for her actions.

Get yourselves a better writing team NRS. And fuck you for ruining sindel. This is ridiculous.

[cjcarpenter1]

Sindel has her own daughter chained like a dog and is super racist now. This isn’t a complex character anymore she’s just evil with no explanation. I know MK11 is a mess story and continuity wise but this has got to be the most radical retcon they’ve done right? I mean in this era of the games she sacrificed herself to protect Earth and now she’s just evil and power hungry and horrible for no reason.

[cjcarpenter1]

Sindel: literally kills herself to save all of Earthrealm from Shao Kahn

NRS: Guys! Sindel! Has been evil! Forever! :) and we’re finding this out :) just now!

[cjcarpenter1]

Real talk, who killed Jerrod??

3 people have now taken credit in one game 👀

This is what you call a hot ass mess tbh

[cjcarpenter1]

Netherrealm what the actual fuck 👀😫

Sindel who seems to get a retcon in every recent appearance isn’t supposed to be EVIL

Like I swear to God we don’t even get complex anymore characters are either good or evil no in between

So blood moon had a bad pilot and it gets immediately cancelled, it had a diverse cast and a female show runner and writers...

Game of thrones had a self confessed awful pilot but they still threw money at the two inexperienced white rich men to make it.

I hate how this world works
