#..okay rant over (for now) x'd

[layalu]

biggest gripe with Deadfire so far is that sometimes the dialogue options are super fun and varied, but then half the time when it matters the dialogue options are. Really Bad

[fff777]

here we go, reaction part 1 to dreamies' 8th year anniversary stream

usually the timing of the live translated subtitles is off which makes it hard to follow so i usually wait for the 'official' youtube upload to be subbed.

dreamie dolls <3

jamming to best friend

why are markno sitting so close together. like all the other guys are sharing seats but somehow they look a lot closer. did they just get a small seat lmao

i feel like he does this every time (calling himself as many years old as dream is)

pretty puppy

classic jaemin who can't say hello normally and jisung who worries for jaemin's image

actual infant park jisung

they're all eight years old today

round boi

new ring?

oh why is that, haechan? :3

chenle keeps leaning over onto jisung's armrest

chenle talked about filming the mv for their new song but i'm not sure if this was legitimately an unexpected spoiler or if they were meant to promote it

貼貼捏捏

oh ok rains in heaven was already released so it's not a spoiler

they're doing cake cutting first?

they told jisung to light the candle and then being all dramatic. i think the staff projected a message to jisung to light the "8" candle and also watch out for the balloons lol.

afterwards the lights went dim and they played happy birthday lmao. party time

??? chenji nation what is going on??? i had heard there was some stuff going on between them in this live but i had held off on spoilers lol

jisung said he was trying to escape the image (of being the clumsy) one and taking on all of the practical tasks. but he couldn't pick up the cake and jaemin did it for him lol. jaemin always being his safety net.

acrostic poem time

and then fan comments time

before the live they were assigned missions and secret santas

ohhhhhh that's why haechan is being sus

dreamies being talkative is my favourite running joke

jisung suggested that dream was aiming for a cute image and chenle was like "this coming from the guy who never does aegyo" so haechan was like "jisung close up please" and jisung had to do the gyu

they started talking over each other when discussing whether to put greed or obsession or some other answer as what dream does best

um...so chenle mentioned his fight with jeno and jisung...your hand...

markno and chenji food for me

jisung: we need to have fights from time to time so we have stories to tell

chenle's entire body is facing jisung okay. markno marrieds aren't doing any better on the other side.

chenle WINKU

apparently the dreamies were super chatty as trainees too? XD apparently they'd rant to each other?

jisung is so excited at the thought of receiving fanmail? there are three of these diaries with fan messages :o

lol the guys being shocked at the fans' neat writing

jisung cracking up over a poop joke followed by silence X'D

mark: painful knee mark: dirty knee mark: bleeding ni mark: 我愛你 mark:

they keep leaning into each other's space............

mark: is friendship a sort of love? chenle: friendship is a sort of love haechan: then you love me? chenle: ...ya haechan: 💘

fan: chenle is cooler than stephen curry chenle: no

now they're going to write their own messages for the friendship book

🦕🧛🏻‍♀️

ooh, i can keep the emojis big by just using a line break? NICE.

(i really hope they stay big now or i'll look silly x'D)

anyway, yes, for the ask game, those four, please and thank you! ♥

Hey! No, they stayed big, don’t worry!😘

🎃- what’s your favourite holiday?

Probably Christmas. Although (and I hate to sound like a cliché, but it’s true), it’s not the same as it was when I was younger. For a start, I barely get any time off work to actually enjoy it these days. We close Christmas Day and that’s it, so for some of us it’s right back at it on Boxing Day. I try to work Christmas Eve if I can because that means you get Boxing Day off, and I’d rather have it off than Christmas Eve, and I don’t care about working New Year’s, but still, every year I see people complaining about the liminal week between Christmas and New Year’s and how they don’t know what day it is anymore, etc, etc, and I want to bite them! Enjoy it while you can, you ingrates!

But, overall, yeah, I have some nice memories of Christmases past so it’s probably my favourite. I have some good memories of Halloween as a kid too, but I don’t really care for it as an adult.

✏️- what’s a word you can never seem to spell right?

I’m drawing a blank on this one. I genuinely can’t think of one. Not to brag, but I think my spelling is pretty good most of the time.

🦕- what’s a pet peeve of yours?

Oh, I am so glad you asked me this one because I have had a rant locked and loaded and ready to go for quite a while! Not to be a complete bitch, but fic writers of the world (and I’m sorry for singling out the Americans in particular here, but they do seem to be the main culprits), where are you getting the phrase ‘make due’ from?? Surely the phrase is ‘make DO’, no? You ‘make do��� with last night’s leftovers. You ‘make do’ with the scraps of affection they throw your way. You ‘make do’ with what you have. Maybe there’s a reason for it, maybe language has evolved differently in different countries, but, God, it drives me up the wall!

Also, and I know we’re not turning to fic for its realism, but the amount of casual drinking and driving that pops up in stories is wild! Taxis exist, rideshares exist, designated drivers exist! Your characters (and the fact I read for fandoms that often feature first responder characters who will most likely have dealt with accidents caused by drunk driving at some point makes it stand out even more!) do not need to be constantly drinking and driving, unless you’re trying to make a point about said character (for example, you want to illustrate how reckless they are with their own and everyone else’s safety, or maybe you want to show it’s actually out of character for them, but they’re having a momentary lapse of judgment because they’re under extreme stress or pressure, or that they’ve developed a problem they need help with).

And if your aim is getting them tipsy and alone with someone so they say more than they would have sober, well, they don’t have to be drink driving for that. Have them say it while they’re waiting for their taxi, have them say it as they walk home together, have them say it in front of the Uber driver who’s trying not to listen in, have them say it in front of their friend, the designated driver, who’s trying not to listen in!

Sorry, again, I know we’re not expecting 100% realism 100% of the time, and of course I don’t think someone who writes about doing something automatically does that thing themselves in real life, but it really throws me when I read about a character (especially normally responsible characters) going from knocking back whiskey in the bar or beers at their buddy’s place to walking straight out to their car or truck and driving away!

Okay, rant over. Thanks for letting me get that off my chest! (And apologies if I sounded condescending or patronising at any point, but I was asked what my pet peeves were and I answered honestly.)

🧛🏻‍♀️- what’s your favourite horror character/ monster?

I’m not a huge horror fan, but if we’re talking movie monsters I tend to lean more towards vampires than werewolves or zombies, etc, so I guess we’ll go with the daddy of them all and say Dracula.

Thank you for your ask!❤️

A post with the moments Taichi and Sora were soft for/to/with each other in DA:2020 + Agumon and Piyomon being their mirrors

DIGIMON ADVENTURE:2020 SPOILERS!!!!

Hi and welcome to my 'Vote Taiora soulmates 2k21' series. This post is basically part 3 of that. I'm a mess, I know...

Part 1: Taiora being starstruck babies | Part 2: The platonic!Taiora connection in Kizuna

PERSONAL NOTE: Once again me here saying that yes this is Taiora and no that doesn't mean I'm trying to sell romantic!Taiora like it's some kind of truth. I just highly believe they are soulmates and soulmates don't have to be romantic AT ALL. Even better, your soulmate can be your platonic best friend while you're in a romantic relationship with someone completely else. Just saying.

And yes, I am a Taiora shipper and I do see and adore the romantic potential of these two. But that doesn't mean everyone has to see it. Platonic!Taiora is beautiful and precious and that's something I vouch for!

There has been floating so much negativity on the internet regarding the Digimon Adventure reboot and even though I'm not loving it either, there are some things I enjoy. I already once pointed out I really like the soundtrack, hell, I even made this little choreography on the theme song for @digiweek 2021 day 3 (prompt music). But that aside, in this post I want to spread some love for the Taiora portrayal in the series, because let's face it, they are super soft (and pretty much ride or die) for each other!

I could ramble and talk about things... OR I could just bomb you guys with the screencaps I gathered! I mean, those reboot 2020 kids don't talk and bicker as much as their original 1999 counterparts do, so why should I?

And you know what 2020!Taichi and 2020!Sora are really good at? Having the same (s o f t) facial expressions to each other, radiating the same energy, touching and physically supporting each other because they are soulmates~. See it for yourself :D

It starts with Taichi looking at his bestie Sora to check if she's safe on the DIY raft while listening to the sweet conversation about fighting together she just had with her newfound Digimon partner in episode 4.

Look at that proud bestie grin. Such a cutie.

Then fast forward to how they are supportingly touchy together..! Two times, in episode 32 and 36. I mean, what's up with that??! Go hug each other already like true childhood bffs do nowadays.

I sense proud mom and dad vibes, what about you? (Also note Piyomon and Agumon in the left one, such cuties <3)

Next up, in episode 37, is Sora being SUPER ride or die for Taichi literally jumping into the water true superhero style to safe the day.! And safe Taichi and Agumon from their stupidity (which is like super low key stupidity compared to OG!Taichi)

This is my personal favorite, episode 40, Sora talking all fast and excited about the passion they share, football/soccer (<- this depends on where you live, I prefer to say football because you play that ball with your damn foot!!!), and how she just LOVES playing it with HIM.

And Taichi is all like "Hell yeah girl, of course I can tell! Preach"

Then in the same episode we find these two pearls (among many other pearls, just go watch that episode yourself already)! Sora looking all soft and concerningly happy to have found her berry-fied bestie. And Sora being glinstering-eyes-happy (like, is she crying??) to see that said bestie back to his human self again!

Okay. There is episode 50, the one with the music I liked and where Taichi resurrects/just resurrected for the big fight and the kiddos trapped in the black ball in the mouth of Milleniummon all scream his name for Taichi to resurrect ONCE AGAIN talking about suffering from portagonist-trope-disease huh?. There are three people Taichi hears screaming his name seperated from the rest and it's rival lover Yamato, baby sis Hikari and CHILDHOOD BESTIE SORA. And let me tell you, when I'd heard her screaming his name in the agonizing way she did, yes, I would have resurrected too if I were Taichi.

Then we of course have that whole Hououmon 'safety first' episode 52. See me ranting and screaming about it in my 'part 1' of this series.

And THEN it's time for the most recent episode, episode 62, where Taichi and Sora reunite and Sora gives Taichi THIS SOFT FACE after she says "The Chosen Ones aren't just here to fight, you know?"

Sora, my baby!!! You can drag me away now, I'm done with this big ride or die softie <333

And you know what's the best part? After the fight with Shakkoumon, which isn't really a fight with Sora following her own words and instead of fighting the Mon talking herself into the heart of the Mon, Taichi REPEATS Sora's words by saying "The role of the Chosen Ones isn't just to fight, huh..." followed by Taichi giving Sora HIS SOFT FACE!!

I'mma repeat myself, but find yourself a guy that looks at you the way Taichi looks at Sora. SO SOFT. OH MY GOD, TAICHI MARRY ME PLEASE. (No please don't, that's weird x'D) I swear, they even tilt their head in the same freaking angle!! This could be cheap animation suffering from 'same face syndrom', but I like to believe that Taichi has watched her, seen the expression she gave him and literally M I R R O R E D I T. This was the whole episode for me, best thing ever.

Also, in that same episode we see THIS:

Even their digimon partners are super ride or die for each other..!! If I had to ship digimon with each other, it would definitely be Agumon and Piyomon (and Gomamon, I'll get to that in a bit). And yes, I know it's a big stretch to let Garudamon, a perfect level digimon, intercept the freaking attack from Wargreymon, an ultimate level digimon, that destroyed Milleniummon 12 episodes ago... It's a bit unbelievable, BUT a) Garudmon is a freaking badass, b) THAT'S WHAT BESTIES DO! And the fact Sora is pretty much ride or die for Taichi, means Piyomon/Garudamon is pretty much ride or die for Agumon/Wargreymon too, no matter the evolution level.

Also, let me point out this little scene under water in episode 35 where Piyomon teases Agumon. Really, I think that's so cute and vouches for the friendship they mirror from the friendship their human partners have!

Actually, isn't it funny that the humans in the reboot hardly tease each other and bicker compared to the original cast and it's the digimon who took over the teasing?

Last but not least, there's one picture left, the end of episode 43. Piyomon and Agumon asleep leaning into each other for support (and Gomamon being cute joining this weird-ass digimon-OT3 I just love!) while on the very right of the frame we see Taichi and Sora laughing/talking together in a super cute way, probably talking about their profound friendship and how they will be football buddies and besties for life :') Also important: they are the only humans in this scene (and then I'm talking about the others not present in this frame too) that are 'seperated' from and not focusing on their digimon, instead they are focusing on each other.

So there you have it. Okay, there might be more moments, but hey, I only get 10 pics per post. If you still don't believe in these two being soulmates in some kind of way... I have no idea how to convince you otherwise.
