#Digi talks

[hypnodigitalis]

how have you been doin? :D

I've been doin'...! Life is very stressful at the moment for a variety of issues socially, personally, and financially. My fixation on CotL is unfortunately starting to die out but that could just be the stress I've been under. I'm not calling it quits on my fics, but the hiatus is going to be until I have the mental capacity for it again.

You know it's not a good day when you wake up sick..... and the AO3 goes down.

Like, what are the odds?????

Same thing happened, but for me it was with my thyroid.

When I was 12 I had a really bad couple of months where I fell asleep all the time, had no energy, and basically was home schooled because I couldn't make it through a normal school day, and I gained weight. (Before this I was extremely energetic, ran around, and was super hyper.) My pediatrician did like two tests, concluded I had mono even though the test came back negative and sent me for blood tests to check for mono every two weeks for like 4 months.

When I finally got to my "I'm over 18" doctor, he did a full panel of tests for everything under the sun just to get a base line. When I came back a week or so later, the first thing he asked me was "Have you ever had bouts of tiredness or lethargy? Where you have no energy at all?" I of course said yes as it still happened just not to the same extent, and explained the first time when I was 12.

He looked at me wide eyed and was like "what tests did your previous doctor do?" He checked for mono. "That's it?" Uh, yeah.

"Your thyroid levels are dangerously low. It looks like it hasn't been working right for... quite a while. That's probably what caused it when you were young. I'm surprised he didn't check for it."

To say I was shocked would be an understatement. I've been on medication for it for like.... 6? 7? Years now and I have my energy back, I've lost a bit of weight, everything. I mean sure, it's not as much as I used to have but that's what happens when you grow up. XD

When you get a doctor that actually cares and does their job right, it changes everything!

(reading through your entire medical history) oh boy. ooooooh mama. not good. and that would have caused... yep. just like i thought. yeesh

"A Breach"

Curator: "Tsk! Virus detected breaching the 5th firewall encryption. It is heading towards the Parable's coding as we speak."

Narrator: "Not on my watch-"

Stanley: "[W-wait, wait! Can I come too?]"

Narrator: "Absolutely NOT. You stay right here and do whatever else you do whenever there's a breach in the system."

Stanley: "[That's the thing! There's nothing to do here! With the stories on hold, I can't just sit around and do nothing! I wanna help too! I'm just as a part of this Parable as everyone else here. And as much as I loathed this place sometimes, it's also my home.]"

Narrator: *grumbling* "Oh Bollocks! FINE. If you're so incessant. BUT I am NOT going to save your sorry arse if things go south."

Stanley: unfazed "[Sure, sure. Can we go now?]"

Mariella: "Any time now, you two! Virus is already outside the parable!"

Narrator & Stanley: Immediately teleports out of the Parable

BONUS:

Narrator: "Nasty little buggers aren't they? Are you sure you still wanted to help, Stanley? Hmm~? I could snap my fingers and bring you back inside the parable with the others where it's nice and safe because your strong and wonderful Narrator had valiantly fought the treacherous beasts of the-"

Stanley: *gulps nervously* "[No! M-My decision is final!]"

Narrator: *shrugs* "Suit yourself. It looks like this is going to be quite the handful. Fear not though, dear protagonist! Remember as the saying goes, 'If you can't beat them, beat them with a bat twice as hard'."

Stanley: "[That's not-]"

Narrator: "BATTER UP-!"

finally reunited with my lovely wonderful husband ( the butcher )

[diginuisance]

I saw this design by @featherlouise and lost my mind over how cool it is! As I was drawing it, I realized that the outfit is insanely detailed... please go check out this person's art, it's so good!

(This is unrelated to the trend of drawing Hornet gijinkas, lol)

[radioactive-boba]

Guess who finally got a drawing tablet!!!! And guess what girlboss gets to be my test subject!!!

[skydigiblogs]

okay so since tumblr is having behind the scenes shitfits, we bit the bullet and made both a dreamwidth and pillowfort account

i'll be looking into crossposting my longer written works from here to dreamwidth at apocalymon, which is the same username i'll be under on pillowfort, Apocalymon.

if anyone has any advice for migrating an ask blog to either of these platforms, i'm looking into doing that for @ask-apocrewlymons . DW has multiple icons but i'm not sure how well it'll handle posting images or getting community interaction.

i digress, i'll have this in the rotation every week or so to make sure folks know where else to find me if the hellsite does pull a titanic.

'til then, i will be playing the violin with you all on deck.

Don't you just hate having a weak immune system?

Like, you'll be sick for like a week, and think "oh, at least now I won't get sick for the rest of this season! I've already had my really bad sickness moment." And then two months later you get sick again, because of fucking course you do your allergies are shit and you work with small children, and you just can't believe that this is happening again.

..... if you can't tell I'm pissed off. I had a cold back in February that was pretty bad and I lost my voice (previously I had been sick in December or late November), and now I'm sick again. Yay spring. The season that hates me more than I could ever love its beauty.

Normally I get sick last three of four times a year, but it seems that my immune system is giving me a giant middle finger for some reason.

[digiditto]

honestly feeling very shit about my creative work at the moment but i know it's necessary + I need to power through it because i have so much room to grow but also: a bitch can create for most of their life and STILL suck at it. like you'd think I'd at least have learned to be a little better than mediocre

[ashmp3]

The top my sister got me is going to be a hit with the "teo can i touch your shoulders" crowd i seem to attract (in real life and online)

Imma talk about digimon for like a minute so bear with me because uh...

Cringe ahead.

Digimon is a very.. interesting series which I have had a long relationship with. You see "I'm not like other boys" (god kill me PLEASE!) because I just didn't care for Pokemon, I liked shit like Yu-Gi-Oh (cause I just couldn't be anymore lame) because the monster designs were awesome to me. I didn't like Pokemon because it felt so.. cutesy. I'm not saying that's a problem I just at that point in my life found any pokemon remotely interesting... Maybe infernape and emboar because those designs were cool as fuck (I'm not gonna talk about the fire fighting debacle because I'm sorry I just don't get it. Yes without hindsight it seemed like a trend pokemon was going down but outside of that there's nothing wrong with that.) but when I saw digimon I didn't feel that disconnect, yes by all accounts digimon does try to be a little cute but to me it didn't feel like 100% of the monsters were there to be cute and marketable. I thought kabuterimon was cool as shit because of how ugly it was, it wasn't human but it didn't matter to me because it looked like an actual monster. I Loved skull greymon because it was so fucking intimidating, I was literally skeleton of a dinosaur back from the dead with a missile to its back and a second ribcage attached to its back, that was metal as shit and I was all for it.

.. we are not going to talk about angewomon.. we are not going to talk about her... I don't wanna be bullied by the Internet.

A lot of the digimon designs I loved and while I could never keep up with the anime I still loved it.

Og adventure while a product of its time is still fun and I enjoy watching through it. Seeing T.K. grow and becoming more than just Matt's little brother, I loved seeing Izzy connecting with the group and also his interactions with tentomon because those two understand eachother.

Mimi.. look imma be honest I didn't get Mimi and I never got to be able to really connect with sora.

I liked how it was a little more mature especially later on, it wasn't dense in meaning studying the characters but it still felt.. real. T.K and Matt's parents not being Together and T.K being confused on why his family just can't be whole is real, while I couldn't relate to it at the time fully I felt it.

Now I can't say I got tai but I was enjoying Matt's character (what can I say even Young I liked characters who acted more mature.. I'm not bi though I just respect Matt's care for his little brother... I feel like that will get taken out of context.)

Adventure 02 kind of clicked with me, I definitely liked Cody and surprisingly yolei of all characters. I couldn't connect to Davis because much like tai I respected him but I couldn't relate to him.

Now I unfortunately don't have a lot of opinions on 02 because I didn't get to watch almost any of it which sucked.

As for tamers? Oh god where do I begin? Look I'm not gonna be the first to say that tamers has good writing but honestly.. I don't think it's as good as a lot of the fandom says.

It isn't garbage, hell no. But I just don't enjoy it as much. I enjoyed impmon as a character but he was the only character I had strong opinions on.

We are not talking about Renamon. We are NEVER going to talk about Renamon. Moving on.

Frontiers is a oddball, because.. I love it, it is not by any means ground breaking, as it felt somewhat like a soft reboot. But honestly the one thing that drew me into this show was the spirit evolutions, and imma be honest I think once I finally get the chance to rewatch the first four installments of Digimon I'm gonna be locking in on digimon frontiers because I genuinely want to talk about this anime.

But then.. then there's digimon data squad... Now blame it on me liking burst modes and actually liking Marcus as a character.. but like

Digimon data squad is my everything. Primarily it's burst modes that is just always a cool concept because I'm a sucker for mode changes.

You have to have no whimsy in your heart to look at the concept of punching a digimon in the face while yelling "it's fighting time" and not find it baller as shit.. and also just so dumb, and so funny. You have to have no sense of whimsy and if that is the case.. we can't be friends.

As for fusion.. oh god digimon fusion.

Look I hate digimon fusion.. so much,I like a lot of the digimon designs but the anime just grinds my gears with how much it just is a KIDS show. And I mean that in the most insulting way imaginable and specifically mean digimon fusion, not xros wars. Because when it comes to fusion a lot of the story and the characters are just lame. And it feels like I'm watching something that has no respect for its audience.

I understand if people like fusion.. I cannot enjoy it because I think its focused audience.. is for kids specifically.

But why do I talk about digimon? Why do I dedicate an entire post to it?

Because ladies and gentlemen one it is cool as shit and two there are so many stories that can be told using digimon. I love this franchise because It appeals to every neuron in my brain, it scratches an itch I have for monster design and a lot of the stories that it tells are just so interesting and/or very ent, I've especially been reading a lot of Digimon liberator and it actually got me interested in the card game of all things. I've been playing digimon survive and I've gotten invested in these characters (I know I'm going to have to go down wrathful and harmonious I just need to prepare myself for the fact some of my favorite characters are going to die.. oh god I don't wanna see Ryo die AGAIN!)

Digimon means something to me because one it appeals to me in terms of monster design (I will always prefer more monstrous digimon but I'm not gonna bitch about it.) but also in terms of the stories you can tell with the setting. Digimon can be used as a metaphor for human psychology (hell digimon being influenced by their partners, that has so much potential to dive into) digimon has a lot of value to me because it's a lot more open for interpretation and allows it to be more mature with the stories.

But that's my rambling. I apologize to everyone that this is nonsense but I felt like talking about something from my childhood that means a lot to me.
