#(TAICHI ESPECIALLY)

[lilblueorchid]

Happy Odaiba day to my fellow digidestined!!!

It's been a while now but I think this is still one of my favorite illustration every.

[toastofthetrashfire]

I think my favorite moment this week (ep 3) in I Hear the Sunspot was Kohei speaking up for himself and telling Taichi he needed to repeat himself. I recently reread the manga, and there's a scene here or there where Taichi says something vulnerable, Kohei doesn't hear him, and Taichi just says never mind because he's embarrassed and they move on. I love that this adaptation decided to make this change/addition.

The vulnerable confession that isn't heard is absolutely a staple romance trope, but it doesn't work the same in a Deaf/HOH context. Because it's one of so many times living in a hearing world that Kohei will be told "never mind" aka it's not worth the effort or discomfort of including you.

I just really like that the show took the extra few moments to make this change and tackle the trope head on.

we all got that one uncle

Inazuma 11/ digimon adventure AU where Taichi goes to raimon middle instead of Odaiba for one reason or another and helps Endou start the soccer club. This leads to the events of 02 happening while the events of og are going on causing so much chaos.

Some notable things from my brain are that Taichi is okay with Endou being captain because he has already saved the world/Japan like 3 times by now and does not want that pressure again. He's fine with being support and providing advice.

The first Teikoku match is when he gets called back to the digital world by agumon, it's why Gouenji needed to save the others. Some people are mad for a bit but they eventually calm down.

Taichi also keeps the coolest head whenever they go up against something crazy, a skill that come in handy espically against aliea ("digimon are basically aliens so...")

Also around Aliea is when raimon gets their digimon partners, for extra chaos and fun. I may-or-may-not have a basic list already.

Taichi's hissatsus that I've come up with so far consist of "Courageous Charge" a dribbling move to break past multiple opponents and "Terra Shot" a shot that coats the ball in high-temperature atmospheric energy and releases it towards the goal.

Also also, Ken and Daisuke join the team with Toramaru for the ffi. They have a combined shot called like "imperial lance" or something. Ken also has a move called "The Rocket"

im just rewatching a lot of stuff so hear me out

with the adventure 99 kids, the only way they know how to interact with digimon is if the world is at stake. there is a definite Divide of the human and digital world. the hikarigaoka and odaiba fog incident seals the deal with them. next time theyre called, diaboromon is rampaging the internet, and they can finally see their friends again. they had to part ways, and deal with growing without them first.

with the 02 cast, the worlds intertwine. they deal with enemies that interact with them in both worlds and have influence in both. by episode 50, the digimon being at home is a pretty open secret. they do everything together and in the 02 cast were a part of the incidents.

thats why kizuna was so jarring for them. at least taichi, yamato and sora. with the digimon now being more known, they could take them to class. they could have lunch out with them. however, there is definitely a cloud of 'I have only seen them in a life-threatening situation, what can I do with them' thoughts that's blocking them from having fun with them.

jou's arc in adventure especially speaks out to me. his issues are especially why he and gomamon are still together. its because of the issues at home. in the digital world, he learns the value of reliability in his own way. his own choice, as both a Chosen Child and as a person.

dealing with problems that relate to human social issues is hard for the 99 digidestined because all they know dealing with problems is to fight their way through it. it doesn't pass their thoughts that the digimon themselves are related to their own personal issues.

If you ever wanted to watch Just 3 Guys do the Pepero Game, boy! do I have the clip for you.

[brainfilehasstoppedworking]

Kiyondo was definitely not a big Taichi fan when he first met Taichi. Then he found out he had to share his dad with this guy?! As much as he wanted to make it seem like he didn't love his dad, he felt protective. 7 year old Kiyo would glare at Taichi, trying to make Taichi uncomfortable and maybe he'd run away.

But that didn't happen. And Takaaki would scold him, angrily yelling at him to stop.

There was no way he was going to share his dad with that nerd, though! Kiyo plotted. But Taka would ruin his plan by breaking something or pulling Taichi away from the line of aim. He'd tell Kiyo to quit it and let their father be happy. Takaaki was absolutely miserable in life and his love life was incredibly...let's just say not okay. He's lost and been hurt. And much to what his older twin brother didn't see, he saw the pain his father felt.

It never always stopped their father from absolutely adoring them, though. He'd show them affection and whatever love he could to them.

So Taka wasn't going to let his idiotic brother ruin that! But he did keep a close eye on Taichi. (He could see the way his hands moved! He wasn't slick!) And he just hoped his father was lucky and he tried to force his brother to notice. Get him out of his plotting and let him see.

for an akifuyu stan i sure do struggle to draw autumn and winter troupe

[kideternity]

I mean this with like all due respect to Taichi but I do think Yamato in terms of like. I guess Most Prioritised male protags from Adventure idk is the more interesting character. Like he just kind of has more going on. His thing about friendship constantly trying to help or take heed of those around him plus of course his relationship with Takeru but then not knowing exactly how to go about that in addition to general kid angst and flaws is a lot more compelling to me. Im on the Jureimon episode right now where he like tells Yamato he has to beat the shit out of Taichi to get stronger or something and I always thought it was interesting that it starts off with Yamato feeling as though he isn’t able to be worthwhile to his friends anymore so ergo to change and become better he needs to be Away from them. All just very interesting to me

[designernishiki]

my friend and I think there should be a spin-off game or saga within a game or something where you play as taichi from morning glory but he’s a grown-up cool ass wrestler now who gets into some Shenanigans. and you can actually use Taichi Bomb and Taichi Blast as legit moves in combat

[izzyizumi]

mE: *Takes Deep Breath* ME: I LOV- anyone who has spent five seconds around me ever: yes, you love TAKATO MATSUDA, we get it okay, you love TAKATO, /TAKATO/ has /ALWAYS BEEN/ a brightest f*cking starshine in your life, you f*cking ADORE THEM, yes okay yes, you love MATSUDA TAKATO, HOW many times are we gonna go through this, yOU F*CKING LOVE TAKATO MATSUDA

Taichi and Azami

indont have as much to say about that as i did for the other 2 and also I'm eepy but like

i follow some azatai artists (obsessed with this on-going doujin series that is literally just the "it's requited they're just stupid" trope) but for fanfic, i much prefer seeing them platonically, especially in the light of siblings <3

i think it's so cute when taichi, the more "childish" and energetic one of the two, goes into older brother mode with azami

i'm just now realizing that in my own writing i write azami bullying taichi a lot.....

they are so silly your honor

Me: Anyway, on Aug. 1st 2k23, Koushiro Izumi Wears Whatever The F*ck Koushiro Wants and dances however good or bad (or at least until Koushiro wears out) with Taichi in the fields under the full moon because they're Life partners now unless they Decide for Themselves they don't want to be anymore, which may be Never. The End

Taichi and Yamato’s designs drawn by Kakudo and a poster featuring a scene from the PV were revealed at NYCC.

He also left the following comment:

I wanted to thank you all a little for your support, so I have decided to make this video. It has been a while since I have worked on storyboards for Taichi and his friends.

It won't be very long, but you will see Agumon and their team working together a little differently than before.

I think it will be especially pleasing to all of you who have always believed that you have a partner Digimon as well.

Lando Being Besties with Your Chinese Grandma

A/N: I never write anymore but IDK something about seeing Lando with Alex's grandma made me think about Lando charming a less problematic version of my own Asian grandma. Also none of this is supposed to be taken seriously.

Somehow you swiftly moved from 'being too young to date' to your grandma asking when you're going to get married every time she sees you

She brings up how proud she is of your female cousins for finding a 'nice boy' and settling down

She offers multiple times to set you up with one of her friend's grandsons who she claims has a good job and a mortgage

When you complain to Lando, this amuses him...a lot

Especially since there's a very simple solution to stop her incessant nagging

Needless to say, she doesn't know about you and Lando

You and Lando are private but not secret

Since your grandma only uses Instagram to look at pictures of her great-grandkids, you didn't think you would risk her looking at F1 Gossip accounts and seeing blurry photos of you and Lando

Lando's met your parents and siblings but you weren't planning on introducing him to your extended family

What you didn't expect was to run into one of your grandmother's friends doing taichi at the park when you and Lando went for a stroll

Word got back to your grandma

She demanded to know who this mysterious man was

Which was how Lando ended up invited to your next family dinner

I'm going to be very honest here, Lando doesn't eat anything at dinner because he has the palette of a five-year-old

But he makes a good impression on your grandma

Also, you two visit the McDonalds Drive-Thru after dinner to get him McNuggets.

One day your grandma calls and complains she can't watch Price is Right on the TV

Since you're working and Lando is bored you send Lando over to provide tech support

Also helps her download games on her iPad and maybe secretly purchases extra Candy Crush lives for her using his credit card

And teaches her how to Facetime her grandkids much to the chagrin of you and your cousins

It isn't long until his charm wins her over

He spends the rest of the day watching Wheel of Fortune and Deal or No Deal with her while she crochets a hat for him

She always has a red envelope to give him

He drives her and her friends to the casino

And the Asian grocery store or your local Chinatown

Powerwashes the side of her house which he claims is just like the video game

Your grandma always makes sure to order him basic stuff at the restaurant that he'll eat like egg fried rice or beef and broccoli or chicken chow mein.

She also snaps at your cousins who try to eat the food she ordered specifically for Lando.
