honestly thought i would have a lot more to say about adventure 02 but like

i just finished episode 50 and the jist of my thoughts really are "yeah this is better than i remembered it being"

overall, an extremely ambitious follow up to digimon adventure, balancing a lot of plot points and an attempt at having a more cohesive storyline than "bad guy of the arc but suddenly it's apocalymon." in 02, most of the bad guys lead from one to another, in a way that seems much more intentionally thought-out than everything up until the dark master's arc in 01. even the one-off antagonists (dark ocean and demon's crew) played into the larger narrative, and weren't necessarily treated as one-offs so much as chances to expand the scope of the lore and use it to the narrative's benefit.

(although i do think it's a bit sad we never saw follow up on demon going "oh, you all are going to regret sending me to dagomon's ocean SOOOOO much")

also a lot of lore. so much lore. 01 introduced the fact that homeostasis has a bunch of agents that look like gennai, but a2 kept suggesting they're all copies (put a pin in that for my tri rewatch, much as i am loathe to rewatch that one). there wasn't any elaboration, but it is an interesting idea, and unfortunately i understand why it was kind of hastily noted and dismissed (the world tour arc had a lot to get to).

also the dimensional makeup of the digimon franchise got a lot more fascinating in 02. in 01 gennai mentioned that the gate could lead to all kinds of different places, but 02 actually takes that a step further in the lore, showing us the dark ocean and the dimension of dreams (even mentioning that the latter is pulled from by the digital world).

but it does maintain some of the problems i had with the original adventure in that i do wish more of the kids got to see their mega forms. :/

(i know tamers fixes that somewhat, then frontiers backpedals, but. you can't get me to rewatch frontiers lmao.)

furthermore, it does kind of suck that we're still left to wonder about ken's adventures in the digital world. we see ryo and millenniumon in his flashbacks to the adventures, but for audience members who missed out entirely on the wonderswan games, it makes it so we have to trust wormmon's word that ken was a kind person in the past. it's shown to an effective degree in the show, especially with his flashbacks to his childhood after the chimeramon arc.

it also makes narrative sense that they didn't feel the need to go over a story that's already happened, because that likely would have taken too long for 02, which already had so much going on. but maaaaaan. i do not want to play the wonderswan games, frfr (though i know there are fan translations out there for 'em).

i do love ken's arc though, as frustrating as him struggling with self-doubt is to watch. i'm glad the writers didn't make it seem too easy for him to forgive himself, because that's hard even if you weren't the vessel for like. All That Shit. i'm giving this boy a weighted blanket and hot tea.

tl;dr: compared to the oftentimes fever-dream like qualities of 01, 02 feels a lot more narratively focused in its story, and i think that really works to its favor. not a flawless season, but none of the digimon seasons are. a successful sequel to 01, much more so than i remembered from my last rewatch of the dub in 2020.

Alright so, I have been thinking a little about the hybrids and stuff. We know that most of them got their demons by a diferent method and probably not a contract like Denji's. They have a transformation trigger but this trigger is not the same for everyone. Pretty odd. Why Is like this? As you know, they need to replace a part of their body with a demon one to be a hybrid. So I was thinking, they got this specific transformation triggers, they are in the part of their body that have been replaced (like Denji's heart y'know) Maybe Is kinda obvious but I haven't see anybody talking about that, so yeah

I don't really play GBF anymore but I saw the Lucilius raid came out in Relink today and it got me thinking again because I guess my brainrot never left me

Still can't get over this dude trying to destroy the world out of blind rage at his creator for having to exist as an inferior copy of someone else (basically screaming at them to finally notice them)

Am I talking about Sandalphon or Lucilius? (yes)

shinkami where they work together, live together, even share a room bc sidekick pay at some agencies just does not cover rent like it should in a big city, let alone for a 2bed

everyone is like oh. they're dating. that's cool. but they VEHEMENTLY deny it. they're not together! don't make it WEIRD! they're just bros working together and making it work with the apartment they can afford!

and ofc. of fucking Course they're both lying, but they think that the other guy is being so serious, and they don't really like to talk about "feelings" and stuff

but when they both get raises and move into a 2bed Finally, they're.... a little disappointed

[teamgermany]

okay so there's the explanation going around that the penalty wasn't given bc Fülle (I think?) was apparently offside before the handball occurred - so you can do anything now and it doesn't matter and you won't get a penalty/card for it if it has taken place after an offside position? what kind of ridiculous get out of jail card is that? 💀

My fingers hurt from embroidering my mom's work uniform, so I moved onto finishing the asexual friendship bracelet I started months ago. Summer is the perfect time to wear things like this and I still have a lesbian, and a rainbow one to make.

Oh, the motivation to create you get, when you try not to think about something.

// working on my sephesis fic and

all i can think about is Sephiroth, looking to Genesis, watching him show his skills, his drive, his passion, his everything and just...no one can convince me he wasn't absolutely enamored with Genesis. Looked at him and saw so much skill and power to admire and be in awe of (yes, he knows his own abilities, but why should he admire his own skill? do you look at a blade forged for battle and believe it to be something worth enamored praise? it's fulfilling it's duty. But to see a weapon forged from all manor of material into something unexpectedly powerful? that's worth admiration not like he could know Genesis' history as a experiment anyways, but even then their upbringings are still different). Look into those eyes, over those features and saw perhaps the most beautiful man he'd ever known (seeing men with similar features meant nothing in the face of this mans confidence, determination, and natural beauty. The vibrant hair, those daring eyes, the proudly smirking lips that seemed to constantly spur something in Sephiroth). Interacted with him and felt the greatest pride to claim him as a friend (jokes and teasing aside for all Genesis 'dramatics', he was brilliant, he was a strategic, he was committed to his goal and his dreams, and he was never one to back down).

Sephiroth, silently smitten, afraid to act but absolutely happy to have him in his life otherwise.

Sorry, I just look at him and I see a man happy to be in love, even if he doesn't recognize the depth of that, nor does he know what to do with it.
