Hewo! :). Since Christmas is coming up, gotta get in the season! How about the Dark generals with a tamer who is a hardcore Christmas fan. I mean OBSESSED with the holiday. Shows the general about Christmas shopping, Christmas dinner food, and heck, takes them shopping to who knows how many stores. And after the Christmas the Christmas season the poor guy can lay on the couch and cry from how much decorations, lights, those dancing Christmas toys, and that creepy elf looking at them. And all the tamer can do is attack them Mariah Carey.
Olegmon
Olegmon is ALLLL over it, he even lets his Tamer decorate the ship! This guy is big and pretty jolly, and jokes that he could basically be the Santa Claus of the day when it comes! He isn't too big a fan of the music, but he lets his Tamer show him all the music and traditions that come with Christmas. He's CERTAINLY a fan of all the food and presents and lighting! He is getting SOOOO many presents for everyone, and you better believe that they're all pretty good personal gifts for everyone on his crew, especially his Tamer! Will probably be the only one of the Generals who aren't entirely pooped out by the time it ends and is pretty happy and pleased with everything by the end. Needless to say, Christmas might be something Olegmon gets pretty obsessed over, too! He's certainly making plans with his Tamer already about next year.
Splashmon
Oh dear, someone end him now. He's tired, he doesn't have TIME for this. He's to generate negative emotions, not have a "jolly good time"! Even if it's with his Tamer. Though, he will let them talk his ear off and maybe he'll go shopping with them if it's what they want so they'll just shut up about it (he actually has a nice time shopping, but he refuses to say he's liking being dragged to so many stores). His Drippins will at least join in on the fun when it comes to decorating, but Splashmon is certainly just watching from afar, wondering what in the Hell is going on. If his Tamer gets him a personal gift, he actually has to take a moment to process it before he's thanking his Tamer quietly for even considering it. Though, then he tries to get a bit boastful over it that of COURSE they had to get him a gift that matched his beauty - a bit of a duality to getting gifts since he's not used to it that often. He's tired after it all, though. And he curses that little creepy elf that he just could not get rid of since it kept popping back up in random spots every time he tried... At least he can relax now...
Gravimon
Somebody save him. He's already hating every moment of it. Gravimon will hardly care about it. His Tamer can tell him as much as they want, he's not really listening. The MOST he'll probably do is help them with trimming the tree. He at least gets them a fun, large tree so that they can spend time decorating it as they see fit - using his gravity powers to help them reach the branches that are higher up without issue and without fear of them hurting themselves while they do it. He might, MIGHT get his Tamer a gift, that's about it when it comes to him, and hates that they know what to get him every time somehow. Gravimon has his ways of showing he cares for his Tamer, even if a lot of the time they're subtle. He will put aside his work if they want to have the whole Christmas feast when it comes time for the special day, just to entertain them. He's tired when the Christmas season is over, thankful that it's over with at last. And they do this EVERY year?? Gravimon can't stand the season, but he's not going to stop his Tamer from celebrating it. He might come around eventually...
Zamielmon
LOVES Christmas when his Tamer explains it all to him. Especially the food and all the sweets. He could care less about the presents; all he cares about is all the food that is possible to eat up. He could also care less about the music, and gets pretty sick of it really quickly. He'll let his Tamer hang up all the lights and decorations they want to, it doesn't bother him one bit and it looks kind of nice when he really looks at it. He might even help if they ask nicely and plan to give him something sweet afterwards. He doesn't like the little "elf" thing that his Tamer brought just because he hates its little face. And the fact his Tamer moves it every now and then makes Zamielmon want to shoot a crossbow bolt right through it... but, if his Tamer likes it, then he leaves it be. Zamielmon does go shopping with his Tamer, mostly because he can settle in his Tamer' pocket or something, and he tries to sneak peeks at what his Tamer plans to get him. He honestly is super excited about everything else and can't wait for the next time it rolls around!
Apollomon
Very gentle and very soft supportive Dad basically when it comes to his Christmas-obsessed Tamer. He encourages them to tell him everything they can about the holiday, and he'll happily go shopping with them and even carry all the bags when they buy a bunch of gifts (though he promises not to look at them if his Tamer tells him to shut his eyes when they're trying to get something for him). Apollomon even takes them somewhere where it snows, bringing a sled for them and one for him so they can play together. And he can keep them plenty warm after all the play! Even making a pretty big snowman with them. He genuinely enjoys it all, and Apollomon is more than happy to celebrate it with his Tamer and help them every year. He makes such a large feast, trying to keep it hidden so that they can have their fun. Apollomon Whispered isn't as hyped about it, and typically hates the bright lights that are decorated all over the place. Even so, he lets the little human have their days to celebrate Christmas as they see fit. If his Tamer gets him a gift, he won't hate it or toss it, and as much as he tries to hate it, he can't bring himself to do so. He's tired afterwards, though, unlike his other self.
Dorbickmon
WHY is everything covered in all these.... Colourful little lights!? WHAT IS THIS?? Dorbickmon's Tamer can explain Christmas to him all they want, he does not understand the concept one bit, it sounds silly to him and more of a bother than anything else. He does actually get his Tamer a little gift, but he denies actually getting them something if they ask, which if they know him by now it's something he tends to do even so. Dorbickmon will only accept the best of things, and actually... kind of likes if his Tamer gets him something thoughtful that would actually look good on him. He won't say it, but he certainly appreciates the gesture deep down. He will allow the Christmas dinner to happen, only because it's the least he can do, and a big feast DOES sound quite appealing. Immediately makes sure that the lights and decorations are taken down afterwards, and is oddly not as drained as many expected the draconic general to be... Dorbickmon just wishes that the Christmas songs weren't catchy... and that little elf... Ugh...
NeoMyotismon
Will only let his Tamer decorate his castle if they follow his rules about it. He doesn't want anything too colourful, and it better mesh well with the aesthetic he has going on here. That's the most he'll give his Tamer here in terms of leeway with Christmas. He understands they're obsessed, but he intends to reel it back for them. He much prefers Halloween honestly when it comes to human holidays and celebrations... Though, he thinks it's adorable when his Tamer tries to put up things that would clearly stand out within his home up. The songs NeoMyotismon cannot stand one bit, and genuinely wishes his Tamer would stop listening to them, they're stuck in his head! Ad he hates it! Especially that ONE SONG by that ONE HUMAN. He is OVER IT. He's locking himself up in his room after the season is over, just to recover from it. He dreads next year already.

Idaten Jump x DnD Moral Alignment Chart
Surprisingly this was more fun to make than I anticipated.
If you want to read through all my lines of reasoning, feel free to read under the cut. Feel free to add more to the discussion!
Also, I used this article to pinpoint each character in their alignment, but I'll pick a few lines that best describes the alignment under the cut.
Lawful Good "They seek to eliminate evil, and are willing to forego their own comfort or safety to protect others."
Sho Yamato - Sho is the textbook definition of a superhero in terms of morale. He refuses to sit idly and is very much willing to go out his way to bring justice to every wrong he comes across. That's his very character.
Miss Yuki - Yuki, much like Sho, goes out of her way to help out. Even before she found out about Sho as the owner of an Idaten Bike, she was quick to assist them to make sure he doesn't caught in a bad place. This behavior is recurring, and her compassion extends to even to the likes of Gabu despite what the kid did.
Ayumu Yamato - Much like his brother, Ayumu is very willing to help out deal with situations. He's empathic, and is willing to take the extra mile to help or thank people (ex. meeting Kiku). He doesn't like to stand to the side, but is still an obedient kid considering how much he respects Sho and the "no riding" rule early into the Team X arc.
Neutral Good "Those under this alignment are willing to recognize unjust laws, and are open to bending the rules if it helps more people."
Kyoichi Shido - I initially put him under true neutral considering his behavior earlier on, but for the entire show it seemed more fitting that he'd be put in neutral good. He's a lot less willing to go out his way compared to Sho, but will step up and help someone out if need be. That doesn't mean he's all goody-two-shoes though, as he will go against the rules if it meant for the better good (ex. rescuing Takuma from the volcano eruption despite Idaten Battle rules stating no riders should interfere with a race). A more prominent example though is that he's more than willing to omit information and even say hurtful things to Sho and co. if it meant helping the team improve.
Kakeru Sakamaki - Kakeru wasn't given enough screen time by the show compared to Sho and Makoto, but given how he responds to situations he has a very strong sense of right and wrong. He's quick to call out Shark Tooth in episode 1 how the race's winning conditions were unfair and is even willing to compromise for the training grounds, but he doesn't have enough driving force to push through what he says.
Chaotic Good "They don't care much for rules or regulations, but a strong sense of right and wrong remains rooted in the hearts of Chaotic Good characters."
Makoto Shido - Girlypop is very willing to throw hands against every antagonist in the show. - But for real though, Makoto, much like Sho, is very willing to step up and deal against injustice, but unlike her friend who'd do it through races, Makoto is very much willing to forego those formalities to get the point across (throwing a metal basin against one of the rouge gang members in ep. 10, consequences be damned, and she even has a wrench ready for round 2). She's also very vocal about injustices towards her as a female, and although her fighting against is has a notion beyond herself. She's belittled constantly because of her gender (and Japan IRL is very patriarchal), but yet she proves time and time again that she's just as capable as the rest of them, and by extension proving that girls are equal to their male peers.
Lawful Neutral "Lawful Neutrals believe in organization. Many are devoted to law and order, believing that their nation or faction would collapse without it."
Arthur - Predictably as a knight, Arthur has a very rigid moral code. Although he could've fallen more in Chaotic Good during his disguised era, with his fake reckless/clumsy acts causing mayhem, my defense is that his people, his royalty were the ruling organization before Shark Tooth, hence he's only doing what he can to restore that rulership while he's by himself. The reason why he falls under neutral instead of good is because he's more rigid with his morales, hardly considering Gabu an ally while battling against Team X, unlike Yuki who has the patience to console Gabu despite it all. Another reason why I consider him more neutral is because of his response to Imperial Knights and possessed Kyoichi: he may mourn that they were possessed by the Dark Emblems, but he doesn't let that hinder him from accomplishing the responsibilities assigned to him.
True Neutral "...are often characterized as survivors, doing whatever they have to do in order to keep themselves or their loved ones alive and thriving."
Koei & Kiku - It makes sense that these siblings are more likely to look after each other first before anything, considering that they're financially struggling. Koei was a pickpocketer prior to being hired by Gabu, and even then he chose to work under Shark Tooth as a means to fund his sister's medical needs rather than going for an honest job. - Kiku could've been put in the Chaotic Neutral aspect, since she desperately yearns for her own freedom and disobeyed Koei and the hospital staff for it, but considering how quickly she was to try and protect Ayumu after she befriended him this alignment seemed to suit her better. She's quick to defend her loved ones on their behalf, going out of her way to defend Koei's honor not only to strangers but to Sho as well. However, maybe it's because she's physically ill but we've never seen her go out of her way to help out people she didn't know, so she fails to be in the Good alignments because of that.
Chaotic Neutral "...chaotic neutral characters value their freedom above all else." "Chaotic Neutrals are individualists first and last." (note: the initial candidates for this category was Yoko and Rika because it's so hard to find recurring characters under this alignment, but after watching through some eps I found the best candidate for it)
Hosuke - Since most of Hosuke's screen time is dedicated to his character as an amnesiac owl, this is how I based him. In a literal sense, episode 2 his introductory lines is literally begging for the group to free him, but overall as a character Hosuke tends to put his wants first, even so much as to throw the kids under the bus when he felt neglected in favor of women flaunting over him in episode 7 (side note: a character trait of his that I absolutely despised, and im thankful they toned it down much much later on in the show) and demanding more food from the Four Kings in episode 38 without regards of whether they had more or not. He his selfish yes, but what keeps him from being categorized under the evil alignments is that he wouldn't go out to cause unnecessary harm, and is willing to accept the consequences of his transgressions (sometimes). If something is not going his way, he will very much be vocal about it.
Lawful Evil "...are capable of vicious cruelty and plenty of illegal deeds — but they follow a strict internal code, and thus often believe they are doing what is right or honorable." - Putting it out now, "lawful" doesn't mean the laws of the land or ethics as a whole, but rather a character's capability of adhering to a set of rules. Tyrants, fanatics, and extremists are best examples of this alignment, but the reason why Gabu isn't on here will be explained later on
Taiga Samejima - Despite the examples given, I consider Taiga to be in this alignment is because of the definition of following a strict internal code. Yes, he's willing to put heinous henchmen out there to hinder the protagonists, or for the benefit of Shark Tooth, but still he believes in playing fair during Idaten Battles. Outside that though is a far different topic (in episode 11 he had no qualms about Captain Jackal deserting Sho and co. in an abandoned island, but scolded him and the crew for violating the rules of Idaten Battle). He followed and assisted Gabu without complaints, only trying to step in and interfere when he realized that his brother was going too far. Yes, he's capable of harm, and yes he will do it if need be, but only if it doesn't go against his own code.
Neutral Evil "They have goals to accomplish, and they're certainly not going to stand in their own way."
Gabu Samejima - It's like this alignment was meant for him. Gabu will do whatever it takes to become the strongest out there and hold the power for himself. What makes him different from Lawful Evil is that he doesn't care; if you're in his way, he will take you out. He has an eye for theatrics through intimidation, and gains satisfaction from it. He's self-serving and willing to blackmail and manipulate people to get what he wants, but he's meticulous about it as well. He's impulsive, sure, but he won't go out of his way to cause unnecessary collateral (and yes, during the Team X arc sabotaging plans and wanting to abandon the group multiple times was necessary collateral for him; he knew he couldn't get Imperial X by himself, despite what he says). He hardly holds remorse for his actions, since he could really care less about what the others think of him.
The Four Kings - As Gabu's loyal henchmen, they'll do whatever they needed in order to give Gabu the upper hand—moral code be damned (hence why they fall in this category and not in Lawful Evil). Although there are times they question Gabu, in the end they'll still bend their backs for him.
Chaotic Evil "These characters often take pride in causing suffering, and pursue destruction for its own sake."
Takeshi Yamato (possessed) - Takeshi himself is not an evil man, but under the possession of the dark energy he aims for nothing else but mass destruction. He's willing to not take down but to obliterate anyone for this cause, without any regards for anyone or anything (he let Sho fall hundreds of feet off the air for the sake of winning). Chaotic Evils are the most dangerous and destructive out of all the alignments, so it also stood to reason that the biggest threat of the show falls here.

Did you and mod Gabu give up on the Digimon blog?
-sighs-
No. We didn’t. She’s working on her own personal stuff and may have more going on. I’ll let her speak for herself on that matter.
I personally am struggling. I’m working both my jobs today for 12+ hours total, I’ve been working on adoptables and commissions where I can to earn money bc I’m late on rent and don’t have much at all and so my focus has been entirely on that.
I’ve been wanting to write and work on prompts but I’m so burnt out because of everything else I’m trying to do I just can’t get decent motivation and I would prefer not to half ass anything.
Please don’t send anons like this in the future.

Okay fine im going to go shameless and promote my fic here
Uhhh, brief summary ig, it’s an OC-insert, Gabu’s twin sister who basically rides along the show’s canon events for the most of part 1 but adds a little spice to it.
Some of her characteristics are she’s a chaotic neutral, expressive, and very talkative despite the fact that her love languages are act of service and physical affection. She may not start fights, physical ones, but if you do you better make sure you’re ready to finish it or she will do it for you.
She goes along well with Gabu and Taiga, even so much as to join the former’s schemes, but she has her boundaries. As expected of siblings, she butt heads with them just as much.
She says she doesn’t care about what happens to Shark Tooth when things go awry but she often ends up talking them out of trouble if Taiga isn’t around.
Character sheet!
I’d post my character sketch (the full write down about the character, personality, and relationships) here but the doc it is in has my story plot/beats in there as well as some major spoilers so just have these screenshots
It’s just became my consistent headcanon that Gabu is just terrible at cooking lol
I actually made a comic abt meeting Makoto but i never got past 2 pages bc I’m terrible with dialogue but here it is. Click for better quality, but if the dialogue is really that hard to read lmk I’ll add transcriptions
And finally, the cherry on top, some sketches of Chapter 2, with absolutely no proper order of events
Yeah, this is going to be 100% platonic and familial relationships
#idaten jump#mod speaks#mod draws#mod writes#confession time: so when yall were talking abt makoto samejima? i found it uncanny that yall’s hc personality for her is so like my oc’s#like it’s almost universal that if gabu were to have a sister it’d be someone who can give back what he dishes out#also for those who have been following me for a while you’ll see some familiar sketches lol#the koei one’s most recent but there’s one other here#for the watermark on my character ref/sheet it’s just my wp initials

Taiga is definitely thoughtful of the people around him, but I think that he's selective on who he extends his niceties/politeness to. I agree that he's the more social between the brothers, so he knows how to persuade people and establish connections since Gabu clearly isn't emotionally attuned to do that.
Though he can still be snappish when talking to people; he mocked Makoto and Kakeru episode 1. During Koei's debut, he comes off harsher towards the ninja. Whenever an ST henchman fails to stop Sho, he doesn't hide his irritation. When it comes to Gabu, he definitely gives him the Older Brother Treatment. IYKYK
Personally I think Taiga's the kind to politely threaten you, and I imagine he speaks eloquently for that, too. Alfred Pennywise style
(Note: I'm referencing to how Alfred speaks)
I initially thought Taiga would be the sarcastic type, but surprisingly that seemed to lean more towards Kyoichi when referring to the show itself. Which means Taiga tends to be more straightforward.
That's abt it for me. I mostly agree with what's already said abt how Taiga speaks
Hey, I hope you're having a great day! I actually have a question about the Samejima brothers for a fic that I'm writing. I'm having trouble writing Taiga's dialogues and stuff. Any tips?
I hope you're having a great day as well! Thanks for reaching out to me, I'll do my best to answer your question. :D
I do notice that no one in the fandom seems to have trouble writing Gabu, but a lot of us have trouble writing Taiga, so you're not alone in this!
I myself tend to think of the two Samejima brothers has being complimentary opposites! Gabu is hotheaded, rude, irresponsible and impulsive, while Taiga is calm, collected, responsible, respectful and thoughtful.
So with Taiga's thoughts I tend to bring to mind someone who thinks a lot; about himself and the people around him, while his words and actions reflect this in his care and consideration of others around.
We see in the show that Taiga has very high moral integrity and excellent character even as an antagonist, so I keep in mind a well-mannered and honest man when writing him. He also seems to be a lot more social than his brother, and been a good leader from how he was managing Team ST under Gabu and later governing over X-city in Yuki's absence. So I write him as someone who gets along well with people and is generally well-liked for his personality, while also having a lot of authority and presence that makes others listen to him and look to him for leadership in the absence of others.
I like to think this came about as result of Taiga taking charge of Gabu and looking after him in the absence of parents or other adults (though this is just my own headcanon).
In general I tend to write him as someone who thinks a lot, is careful with his words, and is polite and considerate of others.
I hope some of this helps!

I Got Your Back (Begrudgingly)
Loosely inspired by this thread here
Specifically about the Samejima siblings. We all have our own chance to make up backstories for the side characters of the show, but I wanna flesh out what yall already wrote about Gabu, plus some thoughts of mine with those headcanons on the end of this oneshot.
No word count bc I just wrote everything here. Not proofread, so this is basically word vomited before I lose the idea (and motivation)
Notes are that this happened far before the show. Anyways enjoy!
=================
Gabu never did house chores. He was never really fond of them. It was boring, tedious, and above all, not worth his time at all. There were better things to invest his time on, and it was definitely not on those. And besides, Taiga's there to do them instead of him.
However today Taiga was sick.
The older sibling was terribly bedridden, unable to leave his room levels of bad. He said just yesterday that he wasn't feeling well, and then it just got worse now. Gabu would've first thought he was faking it, both have done it before in the past (and neither snitched each time), but the vomiting sounds he heard earlier that morning behind the bathroom door was plenty enough to convince him otherwise.
"Mom, Tai's sick."
"Well, we're still busy at work. Just let him rest, okay?"
"Are you serious?!"
Gabu would've started an argument with his parents about this given the chance, but said parents were too quick end the telephone call before he got another word in. He growled, crossing his arms.
He didn't want to deal with sick brother quite frankly. It's just another chore before school.
Or, I could skip school using Taiga as an excuse.
That thought made Gabu grin. He'd say his poor older brother was down with sickness and he took the liberty to take care of him today, as his parents were really of no use in that aspect, but really he'd just go MTB riding at the trails. Yeah, that'll do it.
Though he needed to wait for a few more minutes to make sure his parents wouldn't catch him.
While he did though, he could hear coughing from the second floor.
Gabu frowned, listening as Taiga's coughing continued for a good few seconds before it stopped. He stayed where he stood even after the house fell into silence. Without even realizing, he was squeezing his own arms as he found himself double guessing.
He stared at the door for a long while, subconsciously humming quietly as he did so. His humming then turned into a grumble, and once he finally made his mind up, he threw his hands and groaned before walking away from the door.
Meanwhile Taiga, he wasn't in the best shape clearly. Every limb felt like lead, and his head was throbbing. It would've been a lot worse if not for the menthol ointment he kept in his bedside drawer, but even then it wasn't enough to alleviate everything else. It didn't help too that every time he wanted or needed to get up he felt like throwing his insides out.
Whatever he got, it was bad.
But still, he knew it was best to just power through it as much as he could. He didn't need to worry about convincing his parents; lately neither would notice if he or Gabu missed school, or if they were even home at all, because neither would be at home either. Sometimes it was for the better, oftentimes it was just depressing to think about, and right now it was the latter.
Gabu at least was told that he was sick, but Taiga knew his brother wouldn't be be able to take care of him. He loves him, but he's also well aware how incompetent Gabu was when it came to basic things. He once set something on fire in the kitchen when the Four Kings were trying to teach him, and whether that incident was in purpose or by accident the fact still stood that Gabu was no longer allowed to try to cook anything.
Which meant Taiga was left by himself.
Taiga heaved a sigh at the thought, but already accepted it ever since he felt the first signs of sickness. He just wasn't expecting that it'd get this bad. Whatever scolding he'd get for not cleaning around the house, despite his condition, he'd take, but for now he would rather try to get a shut eye and think about the aftermath later on. Food and water he'd figure out on getting later on once his body would cooperate.
He turned to the side where his unclogged nostril was up, pulling the blanket some more over himself as he tried to go back to sleep. That part, at least, wasn't that hard. He didn't even realize that he did fall asleep until he woke up in a coughing fit.
Slowly sitting up, Taiga rubbed his throat once the coughs finally died out. He grumbled to himself, disliking the idea of needing to get up for some water, but alas he couldn't blame anyone but his past self for not preparing sooner.
He was already willing himself to get off the bed, but once he was one foot down he spotted an unopened bottle of water just sitting on his nightstand. He stared at it for a long while, wondering if he actually left it there before. Though, his own body didn't let him think about it for any longer as he felt another round of coughs crawling its way up his already parched throat.
Downstairs, Gabu was still staring intensely at the pot of water that sat on the stove. Through rummaging the pantry, he found the easiest thing to cook: packets of chicken broth soup that was just needed to be put in boiling water. He read through the steps earlier, but he was now met with the roadblock of not knowing how to operate the stove.
During this he heard Taiga coughing again, which signaled that he was awake once again. It only meant less time for Gabu, unless his brother went back to sleep right after. His staredown with the inanimate kitchen equipment continued.
Gabu thought about calling one of the Four Kings, if one of them weren't at school, for assistance, but the thought of asking for help for such a menial task only made his cheeks flush with embarrassment. The Four Kings were by no means judgmental towards him, but the issue lied with him and not them.
Damn him for his issue of either serving his ego or knowledge.
"Okay, think about it this way," he began telling himself, "it'd suck if I have to say I still don't know after all this. And if I figure it out myself, I get to stick it in Tai's face."
Yeah, seemed doable. He grabbed one of the stove's knobs and started experimenting.
=================
Taiga laid still, blankly staring at the ceiling. The water helped for sure, but now his stomach was rumbling. He couldn't tell if it was hunger or wanting to vomit, but either way he needed to resolve it with food first. If he were hungry that was it, and if he needed to vomit it meant he needed medicine, and he couldn't take that on an empty stomach.
The stillness was really him psyching himself to get up despite aching all over. He took a few deep breaths (while hovering his ointment over his mouth and nose), before wrapping the blanket around himself as his slowly got up. Sitting up he could already taste the bile coming up his throat, but he pressed his lips shut as he swallowed it down.
Finally he was standing, despite all odds. He fought his urge to hurry as he took little steps, keeping his eyes down on the floor to avoid worsening his migraine. Though, in the few steps he'd taken he heard his bedroom door creak open.
"Ugh, why are you up?"
Taiga tilted his head up and saw Gabu standing in the hallway holding a tray that seemed larger in his tiny hands, and a mask over his nose and mouth.
"Go back to bed," he demanded.
Taiga stood and stared, blinking in shock while Gabu made his way into the room. Gabu was fast to notice his brother not responding, his scowl behind the mask deepening.
"Hey, are you deaf? Go back to bed!"
He didn't wait this time. Gabu quickly set down the tray on the table before he marched forward and practically shoved Taiga back to the bed, and yet despite his sudden actions he still did them with carefulness.
Taiga didn't give him much hassle though and shuffled back. He didn't have the energy to argue or fight back either, so he sat back on his bed and let his sibling do whatever he was planning to do.
"I called mom in her office today telling you were sick, but she didn't care. 'Too busy with work' as always," Gabu scoffed while retrieving the tray.
"And dad?"
Gabu gave him a half-lidded stare. "If mom's busy then he is too, duh," he replied sourly. He set the tray on the nightstand, adjusting it so that it wouldn't tip over since the table was smaller. From there Taiga could see what his brother brought.
A small thermos, a large bowl of soup with a spoon, packs of saltine crackers, a new bottle of water, and multiple sleeves of medicine tablets.
"I heated too much water so I made tea too, but yeah there's more soup downstairs, just let me know."
"You... made this for me?"
"Yeah, don't overthink it."
Normally making a bowl of soup wasn't much of a feat, but for Gabu it was an accomplishment, and Taiga knew that. He was impressed, actually, that Gabu was able to not only gather all of these, but to make some food unsupervised without burning anything down (at least, he hoped. His nose was a little stuffy at the moment to smell anything burning) as well.
Taiga smiled, picking up the bowl as he muttered Gabu a thanks. The warmth of the broth was welcoming to his hands, he'd been getting the chills so the hot food was such a relief. Before he took a scoop though he realized something.
"Aren't you supposed to be in school right now?"
"And so?" Gabu shot back with a shrug.
Taiga looked at him for a little while before he gave a defeated sigh. No way he'd be able to convince Gabu to try and catch up with school for the day. He went back to the soup, and while he started eating he could hear Gabu rummage through the tablets.
"You're welcome, by the way. Don't say I never do anything for you."
Taiga couldn't help but grin again. "Of course, I appreciate it," he said with full sincerity. Gabu glanced at him but then quickly looked away.
"Yeah, yeah. I'm calling the others though after their class to look after you this time. At least they're more reliable."
The last part fell into a mumble, but Taiga still heard it. He wasn't sure who Gabu was referring to, but he was hoping it wasn't a self-inflicted insult. A bit of a reach of course, but it was still a valid concern for him. He didn't know how to comfort him either, as words often didn't translate to what he wanted to convey; a problem for the both of them, in all honesty.
He genuinely wanted to thank Gabu again, since his sudden decision to stay actually solved so much of his concerns, but he also knew his brother was terrible with handling compliments. So instead, he reached out and ruffled Gabu's hair.
Instantly a complaint. "Ew! Get your sick hands off me, I don't wanna catch whatever you have."
Taiga laughed, though it quickly cut into coughing. While his little brother reached for a bottle, the same thought ran in his mind:
Yeah, it may be hard that mom or dad weren't there when he needed them, but Gabu always was, no matter how much he says he doesn't care. And of course, he'll always be there for Gabu just the same.
=================
After writing that last paragraph I realized that the headcanon of Taiga and Gabu having such a tight-knit relationship prior to everything is so much more devastating considering the events of the show.
I like to believe that the brothers are genuinely close, in tandem with the headcanon that their parents are neglectful to an extent, so blood-wise they don't have much besides each other. Also, I like to think that their parents are rich or at least holds a high status, since Gabu does a lot of stuff he gets away with (particularly with the stealing school equipment incident), but because they work first before their own kids, they've become blissfully unaware of what their children are up to. Which is tragic.
One last thing, I initially titled this one-shot as "Love Language" because I headcanon that both the brothers' love language is act of service (mostly through bossing other people). Seeing how Gabu is so bad at handling verbal compliments, I take it he's more of a "show, not tell" kind of person, and on top of neglectful parents it's more likely for him to pick that up from Taiga.
Also as siblings, especially in an Asian household, verbal show of genuine affection, gratitude, or sorry is difficult to do so at times. Often it's expressed through other means, like food or asking the other if they wanna hang out outside after a fight. Those kinda stuff

(Reblogging from main
Why are requests closed on @digimonloving? When will they be open again?
The requests are closed so that I can take time and do the ones I have. I get a LOT of requests b/c I refuse to close the inbox until late in the night (for me) so that everyone gets a chance to send in something if they wanted to, as I know timezones and work and such can get in the way of that. I dislike taking only a set number since it doesn't feel fair, and I just spend the day I do take requests answering personal things!
The next time they'll open might be this saturday or next saturday depending on some things. I answer so many, and I do what I can yknow?
#Mod Post#Mod Gabu#(Also HEY. I've been sick lmao#and also in a very art mood instead of writing#sadly it's not Digimon but more JOJO stuff but yknow lmao#writing will get back to it soon

Aw I know you don't run it specifically but it feels like the Creek server isn't very inclusive.
:’0 Aw, I’m sorry that you feel that way, anon! I know you probably would like to remain anonymous, but really, if you feel at all like you have an issue or concern or suggestion to better improve the server, please please feel free to DM me or any of the other mods!
You can DM and it will stay between you and the mods. Me, Charlie, Syrina and Gabu do want the server to be at 100%, but we won’t know to change or influence anything if it isn’t brought to our attention.
