{Me: *sees the fans here start talking about old sites & shrines again* Me: “Oh hey I existed TOO during that time---”}

(So I had a Digimon 02-focused OCs website Once.)

These are the layouts “splash” (Enter) page images that survived multiple later P.C. crashes but anyway

I made this site when I was Younger. (I’m not going to say how much Younger but)

{Before I found out I was @utistic} (Too---)

These are layouts #4~5 (02), #6 (Izumi - I started Frontier and loved her), #7 (Kouichi - guess which Frontier eps I had just watched), #9 - Hikari (specifically 02!Hikari focused because I also love her)

(Some of the earlier layout pages half-died but semi-survived on the same backup CD, but most were just plain backgrounds anyway)

Anyway, Digimon 02 fan-base also existed in the 2000s pre-tumblr. (INCLUDING in the Western fan-base Yes!) I Know Because I Was There! (And many mutuals I knew were too so...)

I’m still debating on if I want to bring it back in some basic form but if I did I’d probably just dump better/newer fic, edits & A.M.V.s on there it probably wouldn’t be the same now anyhow.....

This was also before my current hyperfocusing on Koushiro + O.T.P But anyway! (That was soon to come almost immediately After) though tbh it was probably happening in the midst of these Too

Anyway, I’m really, really, really tired of certain circles of the fan-base here acting like 02 never had a presence in the “Western fan-base” even immediately before the “Live-journal” days because... it did. We did. We were There?!?!?

[Note: replying positively/respectfully is ok! But please note this is more of a Personal post]
