goooood i spent like three hours at work today just thinking about the implications of apocalymon and i think i am legit just gonna have to write out a whole articulated paper about them at this point

i was trying to focus on listening to essays but nah man

i'm gonna read so hard into those plural pronouns (/hj)

#sky talks #digimon #digimon adventure #but actually i was thinking about a conversation i had last night that reminded me of an old project i'd looked at #specifically trying to investigate the different villains of the series #like the Big Bads of arcs #(devi / ete / myotis / dark masters)#in the context of the crests #i was reminded of pinnochimon's seemingly pointed parallels to yamato's struggle with the crest of friendship #and to what degree the different big bads actually reflect apocalymon's state of being i'm unsure #i think it's left a little unclear in the text (even in the sub)#i'll go back and scrub quotes if i write anything more formal in terms of analysis but like #if we're to see the dark masters as manifestations of apocalymon's collective feelings #both as being their own characters motivated by different things #and *as* those extensions of apocalymon #there are a few questions we also have to ask #1: by explicitly calling to mind devimon's attacks do we assume that to some degree the other Big Bads were extensions of apocalymon?#(ie: not just enabled by the distortions caused by apocalymon's existence but sourcing code from them)#2: can we use the other villains to read more depth into apocalymon?#even if point 1 doesn't hold true #i think the dark masters are meant to highlight lacking within apocalymon as this personification of digital obsolescence/extinction/entrop #the only one of the DMs i don't have a good read on is metalseadramon tbh #that serpent's really got evil himbo energy #but pinnochimon like i said seems to mirror yamato's crest #and by extension apocalymon's stated root of grievance in their lonely misery #machinedramon seems most concerned with control of the world around him #in a way very different his fellow DMs #and while i'm still baking the pie on piemon #out of the DMs he really seems to express the most sadism #and i do have thoughts about that re: this topic
