#I haven't drawn an Eclipse AT ALL

[luckyartdrawer]

Weird crossover but okay-

Mad Father (<-Horror game) Eclipse :D

vvvv Yapping and extras under the cut! vvvv

If you actually look close enough, you can see I never got rid of the sketch in the final. It felt like it added an extra layer of texture. :3

This may be an odd mesh of franchises to crossover, but I've been binging RPG horror gameplay while I worked - as I LOVEEEE RPG horror games.

Even though I already finished rewatching Mad Father gameplay by the time I thought of this, I knew I just hadddd to draw something related to it.

Seriously the voice actor for the chase scene sends CHILLS down my spine.

I've been in a horror mood lately, so I decided to enjoy some of the horror vibes in drawing :D

please stay by me!

𝜗𝜚˚⋆ PILE I

Cards Pulled: High Priestess, the Chariot, Judgment, Justice, Knight of Wands and oracle cards

Okay, honey, welcome to this pile 1!! Let’s see into what you’ll be lowkey obsessed with when it comes to your future spouse hehe. Before I start this reading, I just wanna mention something really crucial here, UHM......... y'all are LUCKY AF. 😭😭like TF. Also for people who chose this pile, the person described here is sooo similar to the character of Sang Yan from the C-drama The First Frost. I haven't even watched that drama yet, just saw it all over tiktok and insta reels and it's soo crazy how I was constantly thinking about him throughout writing this. The way he carries himself in that drama and SPECIFICALLY HIS EYES. THIS PILE IS LITERALLY HIM. PERIODT.

First off, this person? Mysterious AF.

Like you know when someone doesn’t post on social media but when they do, it’s in black-and-white with a cryptic caption and you’re like “HELLO? What does it mean??” Yeah, that’s their entire vibe. The High Priestess is the main character here, and this person is dripping in silent depth. It’s not that they’re quiet, NO NO, they’re intentional. Everything they do feels like a sacred ritual, even if it’s just tying their shoes. You’re gonna love how they somehow make you slow down and listen more, not just to them but to your own damn intuition. I’m getting this image of you two sitting on the floor, legs touching, and you’re rambling about your day while they just watch you like you’re a rare eclipse. And they’ll say something like “You feel like the ocean right before a storm,” and boom. You’re ruined. Forever.

And OMG don’t even get me started on the emotional depth… because wow.

Yeah, I got CHILLS. Literal chills. ? Bestie, your future spouse doesn’t just love you, they DROWN in you. There’s a softness to them that feels ancient. Like they’ve lived a thousand lives and chose you in every single one. Their love language? Definitely some spicy combination of telepathy, forehead kisses, and knowing your exact comfort food without you saying a word. And yet, they’re not soft in the doormat way. HELL NO. Baby, this person moves. When they decide they want something? Game over. They’re a force. You’ll love how they’ll be gentle with your soul but a literal wildfire for your protection. Someone stares at you weird? They’ve clocked it. You’re nervous to speak up in a group? They smoothly redirect the convo so you shine. It’s that ride-or-die loyalty with a spicy side of “Don’t mess with what’s mine.”

Your future spouse has transformed by the time they meet you. Like… phoenix out of the ashes levels of rebirth. I’m seeing someone who may have had to break out of their own cycles, maybe even some shadow work that slapped, but they did the work. That’s something you’ll absolutely adore about them: their self-awareness. You’ll be so drawn to how they hold themselves accountable. They’ve probably been the villain in someone else’s story, and instead of playing the victim, they faced it. Shadow work? Check. Therapy? Likely. Apologies? Given when needed. They’ve done a full spiritual exfoliation, and now? They’re GLOWING. AND they treat you with such intentional fairness. They don’t play games, they don’t breadcrumb, and they sure as hell don’t ghost (WHEW. thank god cuz i hate that shit) What you’ll cherish most is how they show up for you, consistently. Every little action feels like, “I see you. I honor you. I’m choosing you, even on the messy days.”

And um, can we please talk about how HOT they are when they’re PASSIONATE??? Because the Knight of Wands is coming in LOUD with main-character energy and It’s giving “I’m dragging you into the hallway to make out because I missed you for two hours.” FJNIDNSBTRVIH There’s a bit of chaos in their passion, but like… the fun, flirty, seductive kind. You’ll catch yourself staring when they’re focused on something they care about, eyes lit, words flying, and it’ll hit you: “Damn. That’s my person.” Like they could be talking about some weird niche topic, idk, the ethics of time travel or why a band’s debut album was superior, and you’re just sitting there like, “Okay, philosopher.” It’s hot. It’s brainy. It’s unhinged. And it’s so them. (did i just describe my type here?) 

But here’s the real one, your potential most favorite thing? It’s how they love you through your shadows.

It tells me that they don’t just love your highlights, babe. They’re the one who knows about the parts you try to hide, and loves them deeper. You’ll feel so safe being raw with them. Like crying-on-the-floor-at-2am kind of safe. They’ll be the person who doesn’t try to fix it, they’ll just sit with you in it. You’ll finally feel like, “Oh. I don’t have to perform here.” Also, minor side message that just smacked me: they might help you release a generational wound. Yep. It’s giving “breaking ancestral chains with one good relationship.” I’m not saying they’re your healer (you’re healing yourself, boo), but they are a safe space that lets the healing happen. And the ocean symbolism? BABY. Their love is like the tide, constant, natural, overwhelming in the best way. You might not even realize how deeply they’ve rooted into you until one day they’re not there for a few hours and you’re like, “Why does the air taste different???”

Okay, a few more spicy psychic messages which I got throughout the reading I'll drop here before we close because the tea is still hot:

You’ll love their hands. Like, obsessively. Spirit keeps showing me images of their hands wrapping around yours, brushing your hair back, gripping your waist, yeah, you’re gonna be down bad. They have a “hidden” creative side. Music? Poetry? Painting war miniatures? IDK 😭but it’s something they keep private until they trust you, and once you see it? Prepare to melt. 🫠 They’re a consent king/queen. In the bedroom, in arguments, in making plans, they’re always checking in. Always making sure your voice is heard. It’s HOT. You’ll laugh together in the weirdest moments. Like cracking up during a serious movie or turning a grocery run into a full-on comedy sketch. The emotional intimacy? Unreal.

𝜗𝜚˚⋆ PILE II

Cards Pulled: Death, Ace of Cups, Four of Cups, Five of Pentacles, Knight of Cups and oracle cards

OKAY BESTIE… buckle the HELL up. This pile??? This pile is literally a love letter from the universe, and it’s about your future spouse in a way that’s got me gasping and screaming into the void. Like, if you’ve ever wondered what it would feel like to be truly chosen, truly adored, and truly transformed by love??? this is THAT reading. I’m already sweating more because the cards are kinds big ones as you can see😭 . This ain’t a crush. This is main character's energy meets divine rebirth through love . And your favourite thing about this person? Oh honey... it's EVERYTHING they awaken in you. But let me explain because DAMN it gets DEEP. 💀

this pile is all about how utterly devoted and obsessed he is with you, but in that controlled, sexy, lowkey psycho but make it romantic way. He doesn’t say much, but when he does?? It cuts straight to your soul. He makes you feel like the only person that’s ever existed. And when he touches you? The world fades.

Okay so first of all, this love is not soft-launch energy. Actually there’s no soft energy here. It’s not the kind of love where you post a blurry arm on IG stories and call it a day. No no. This is Death + Ace of Cups type of sh*t. This person literally drags you out of a fog you didn’t even know you were in. Like, imagine going through life feeling fine, maybe kinda meh, autopilot vibes, and then BOOM. You meet this person and suddenly, colors are brighter. Food tastes better. Music hits differently. You’re like, “Wait, am I ALIVE again??” Yeah. That.

You don’t just fall in love with them. You fall in love with yourself through their eyes. Because they see you in this way no one ever has before. They don’t pedestal you in some weird, unreachable way, but they mirror back your rawest essense. And you start to remember who TF you are. ✨ Like, you start off this journey feeling a lil rejected, a lil disillusioned (Four of Cups + Five of Pentacles energy… hello loneliness my old friend), but through this love?? You rise. You blossom. You reclaim your power. The crown was always yours, you just forgot. They don’t give you your power back, babe. They just remind you where you left it. And that?! That is your favorite thing about them: they activate the version of you that had been buried under years of rejection, doubt, and disconnection.

Bestie, I’m not gonna sugarcoat, this is NOT some sunshiney, fluffy past you’ve been through. You’ve known the ache of being left out in the cold. Maybe you’ve been the one always giving, always chasing, always hoping for scraps of love from people who didn’t even deserve to speak your name. You’ve had your heart cold-stoned and ghosted and breadcrumbed, and you were probably starting to believe that maybe love just wasn’t in the cards for you. Enter: this person.

They don’t just walk in with roses and pretty words (though they absolutely do that too, Knight of Cups energy is full-on poetic simp vibes 😭). But more importantly?? They SHOW UP. When you expect abandonment, they stay. When you push them away, they lean in. When you flinch at love, they don’t take it personally, they just hold you through it. You’re not their project. You’re their equal, their mirror, their muse. And you’ll find yourself sobbing randomly, “Wait… this is what it’s supposed to feel like??” Because for the first time, love isn’t a battlefield. It’s a sanctuary. It’s not conditional. It’s safe. I’m not kidding when I say this person is the Knight of Cups in every form. So with this person prepare to also see the perfect blend of this combination. prepare for random voice notes at midnight because they saw a cloud that looked like your side profile. Prepare for forehead kisses, poetic ramblings, playlists that sound like your soul. But also?? It’s not performative. It’s not just vibes and aesthetics. It’s intentional.

They speak your love language fluently, even the ones you didn’t know you had. You like thoughtful gifts? Boom, they kept the receipt from your first coffee date and made it into a bookmark for your favorite book. You like acts of service? Baby, they’re doing your laundry and ordering your comfort food on a day you can’t get out of bed. You like words of affirmation? They’re sending full monologues about how divine you are. Honestly, at some point you’re gonna be like, “Can you STOP being obsessed with me for five seconds?” But also you’ll be like, don’t stop. Ever. 😭

Let’s circle back to that Death card because whew… this is the CORE. Your favorite thing about this person isn’t just what they do, it’s who they are and who they inspire you to become. You literally go through a soul transformation in their presence. They don’t fall in love with your mask. They fall in love with your shadow. With the parts you thought made you unlovable. With your mess, your moods, your madness, and suddenly, those parts stop feeling like flaws and start feeling like facets of your magic. And in turn?? You’ll start holding them that way too. You won’t be idolizing each other. You’ll be liberating each other. This love isn’t about being perfect, it’s about being real. It’s about death and rebirth. It’s about watching each other burn and saying, “I still choose you.” They are going to be your favorite revolution.

"Wear your power proudly and unapologetically" is not just advice, it’s what your future spouse pulls out of you. You’ve spent so long shrinking. So long waiting for permission. And this person? They’re gonna hand you the crown and go, “You were born royalty. Act like it.” And the best part? They don’t do it for clout. They don’t flaunt you like a trophy. They cherish you like you’re made of stardust and war paint. Your softest parts are sacred to them. Your weirdness? Worshipped. Your power? Encouraged. Like babe... you will feel both feral and safe in their arms. Do you know how rare that is????

Okay this is so random but it came through SO clearly, I’m getting this image of you hating Mondays your whole life, until this person shows up and suddenly?? You’re excited for the week. You’re looking forward to slow morning texts, coffee runs together, messy buns and “just 5 more minutes” cuddles before they leave for work. They re-sensitize you to the beauty of everyday things. And that is so underrated. They make your life feel like poetry again.

 Final random Favorite Things You’ll Obsess Over:

The way they say your name like it’s a prayer. Youll love listening to your name from them. Their ability to sense your moods before you speak. That would be their superpower, honestly. And also the contrast of their softness in private vs their strength in public.

𝜗𝜚˚⋆ PILE III

Cards pulled: Six of Swords, The Empress, The Fool, Five of Wands, Ace of Swords amd oracle cards

OMG This pile? This is the rom-com-meets-healing-arc-meets-delulu-dream-guy-you-manifested-during-a-Lana-Del-Rey-retrograde kinda situation (don’t ask me how i came up with this😭). This is raw. This is “you didn't know you were starving ‘til he fed you” energy. Wow that was deep LOL.He LOVES the full spectrum of you. Your sensitivity, your rage, your need to cry during commercials, he eats it up. Encourages you to take up space. He celebrates your chaos. And the banter?? UNMATCHED.

So first off, let me just say this: I legit felt like I was watching one of those dramatic K-drama slow burns when I tapped into this spread. Like ep 1 is you emotionally limping out of some messy chapter of your life, and ep 16 is you soft-smiling while they brush hair from your face and say, “You’re safe now.” I’m crying just thinking about it 😭 but I digress—

Now let’s start peeling back the layers of this absolutely BONKERS beautiful energy: your fave things about this person? Oh honey. It’s not just their looks (although, side note, the way they carry themselves? That quiet “I know who tf I am” swag? Oof. HOT). But no, what melts you? What gets you twisted in the sheets and emotionally raw in the car at 2AM? It’s their consistency, their emotional maturity, and the fact that they’re lowkey your safe space after a lifetime of chaos. Yeah, I said it. The trauma you didn’t even realize you were still carrying? They help you walk that ish to the river and let it go. Six of Swords style.

And listen. This person doesn’t swoop in and fix you, don’t get it wrong. They don’t love you despite your wounds, they love you with them. Like “hand-in-hand with your demons” type love. They don’t run when things get messy. They lean in. You’ll sit there anxious and they’ll hand you a blanket and be like, “Keep talking, I’m not going anywhere.” THAT kind of presence? Yeah, bestie. That’s what you’re gonna worship. But don’t think this is some therapist in a man’s body situation either lmao. There’s a whole wild side to this person too, like, this person challenges you. HARD. Five of Wands energy was screaming at me like “YUP WE FIGHT BUT MAKE IT FOREPLAY.” 😂 They’re gonna debate you for fun, tease you just to make you roll your eyes, push your buttons not to be toxic, but because it turns them on to see you all passionate and fired up. The intellectual banter is chef’s kiss. Your fave thing about them? You never get bored. They don’t just nod along, they’re present. They got opinions, they got a backbone, and they’re not afraid to go toe to toe with you when you are acting up (and honestly? You love it).

This pile is all about liberation. Your fave thing about him is how he reminds you of who you are before the world made you smaller. He gives you permission to laugh too loud, cry too much, and dream too big. And he’s gonna do it all right beside you.

Now The way they see you… like, you're not just a person to them. You're a literal universe. The way they look at you when you’re ranting about something random? Or doing your skincare? Or just existing in oversized pajamas and a bonnet? They’re gone. Fully GONE. And because of that? You start to see yourself differently too which is honestly the best part. Like, your favorite thing about this person is how they love you into softness, into full self-worth. They speak to the parts of you that felt unworthy and whisper, “More. You deserve more.” You start walking different because of how deeply they hold space for you.

 Baby😩 This person is your reset button. The Fool here isn’t naive, it’s liberated. You’ve been carrying so much emotional weight from past relationships, maybe even from family crap, old fears, toxic exes, and here comes this person like… “Why are you still dimming your light?” this is literally them encouraging you to live a little, say yes more. Take the leap. Splurge. Cry. Yell. Make a mess. Be too much. They LOVE that you're extra. They don't flinch when you're chaotic. They jump off the cliff with you, giggling. (that one was a little exaggerated but nvm😭)

Like, your favorite thing about them is how much they let you take up space. Not just tolerate it. They encourage it. “You are worth every desire, every dream. Demand what is yours.” And this person? They believe in that. They fight for that. Ace of Swords slicing through the bs like “You’re not going back to that old version of you.” And I’m telling you right now, they’ll probably be the one who drags you to that dream vacation you were too shy to plan, or who makes you apply for the job you think you're not good enough for. They see your power. They know your value. And it becomes your favorite mirror. 💅

And YESSSS, there’s a sexuality to this pile too. Bestie. Don’t lie. I know you saw The Empress + The Fool and went 😏. SAME. This person? They worship your body like it’s art. Like a damn temple. And it’s not just hot passionate nights, it's playful, explorative, curious, FUN. That “I can’t keep my hands off you but I also wanna laugh in your neck while doing it” kinda vibe. 😭That alone could’ve been the whole reading LMAO. But here's the secret sauce: the emotional intimacy hits harder than the physical. It's the way they look at you when you’re vulnerable. When you’re quiet. When you’re in your dark. The Ace of Swords says this person cuts through the noise, you don’t need to over-explain yourself. They just get you. Like intuitively. You’ll be like “I didn’t even say anything” and they’re already making you soup or running you a bath or telling you to block that toxic friend. HOW DO THEY KNOW??? Idk, babes. Soul contract things. 💀

OH and one more image i saw, there's this moment I saw like clear as day: you're going through a rough patch emotionally. You're bawling, maybe imposter syndrome, maybe an old wound opened up, idk, but this person? They stop everything and hold your face and say something brutally honest but loving like: “You forget who you are. Let me remind you.” And it floors you. Floors. You. 🥹

Recent Art Dump!

Sorry for not consistently posting! I try to keep up on wips etc but it gets easy to be lost and forget to post or I don't have finished art ready and just lose the will because I didn't draw a back ground or something like that.

I hope people like my random wips and doodles and some of my recent finished arts. I love Charlie-Puppet so much I just needed to do another artwork symbolizing how puppet literally died and through the ashes of a fire puppet Charlie was born from her sacrifice. It was so sad but Charlie is such a joy. Her powers developing slowly over time is just so much fun to watch.

I also had to draw Sun comforting Earth, I just love their brother sister bond and I feel like they hold each other and cry. Earth dealing with life long pain is so difficult and i like to imagine Sun is with her every walk of life.

I also had to draw my version/idea for masm sun and moon (want to line and color them soon!) and also Killer Sun my beloved!!!!!!!! I want to draw all the funky variants and I haven't even drawn Eclipse of Solar in a line up!!! A crime!!!!!!

One of my Aus is a Magical Girl au, and Ballora is one of the magical girls in the au I'm going to write and I'm just really happy with her design so I wanted to share it.

So I've been super into the new chapter of poppy playtime and I've been making Aus on Aus, I'm trying to make notes and draw art to post about them but it takes so much dang time!!! I also want to do fanart of other people's AUs if they're ok with it!

[letsmcfreackingloseit]

Thank you so much Naff I'm so happy you like the designs and my silly lil' ramblings! ❤️ I'm sending you so many hugs and all the good vibes!!

Hey-ho! I'm back again with some Apex Polarity art, but this time it's some designs for the humans' snow gear!

It started out with me just trying to figure out a design for y/n in my little comic, but then I thought it would be fun to also try and visualize the other humans, so here's my take of y/n, Vanessa and Michael! I really like how they turned out, although I don't think I got Vanessa's "patchwork" look quite right, but I still like where I landed. I added a blue scarf and I was really tempted to give her those red goggles, since it would've made her resemble Vanny even more, but in the end I desided against it.

So yeah- nothing too big this time, just something fun and easy!

But to round this off, I will of course credit the wonderful author @naffeclipse who is writing Apex Polarity, which you can go read if you click right here (can 100% recommend, especially if you like stories with a bunch of fluff, mystery and drama~!) and today I give credit to myself for the designs of the humans! ;P

Outfit art game.

These are all of the 286 clothes screenshots I have saved on my phone (mostly found on Instagram) some are full outfits, some are separated pieces, some are... Hmm 👀 and some are repeated because angle references.

Give me a character, can be DCA, something I haven't drawn, my OCs, your OCs. And an outfit, you can choose one single picture or compose a full outfit choosing various.

I'm gonna sketch the character with the outfit you choose! Just one sketch per ask.

The pictures are small and hard to see clearly, so the end result in full detail is going to be half of a surprise, hehe. Let's see what comes out of this.

(If you want me to draw Eclipse specify which one, Arcade or Ruin) (if you want me to draw your OC give me a reference pls)

[crabsnpersimmons]

Do the Have You Eaten? Guys wear anything else from their uniforms :0? Do they have certain styles? Or is the uniform all they keep?

yes! but… well…

i haven't drawn them yet 😂

but here's what i think their styles would be:

Sun dresses like a their late Boss, in hand-me-down polo shirts, tourist and school shirts, etc. Essentially, Sun dresses like an Asian uncle 😅 the only nice clothes he has were gifts from Moon and Eclipse because they were embarrassed. his nice clothes lean towards the minimalist aesthetic—plain yet crisp shirts and trousers, light cardigans, all in a muted colour palette. Over all, he likes to keep things simple and consistent. if he's going out for groceries, he'll throw on his usual clothes. if it's a nicer occasion, he'll wear his nice clothes.

Moon likes to wear comfy yet stylish clothes. Very soft boy aesthetic. Soft sweaters, chunky shoes, fashionable yet functional bags. No matter what, he keeps his nightcap on because it comforts him. As such, he rarely wears other hats, but sometimes he'll be silly and wear like a bucket hat over his nightcap.

Eclipse is fairly stylish (as stylish as he can be on a waiter salary and tips). He has a concise wardrobe with pieces that he can switch around and style for different looks alternating between preppy, clean boy, and star boy aesthetics. How he dresses tends to change depending on the time of day—opting for button ups or light crew neck sweaters for the day time and throwing on his leather jacket at night. He also changes up his bandana on occasion. He wishes he could accessorize more (more earrings, chains, rings) but mans a waiter and rent is is expensive 😂

[mama-qwerty]

Following this post, I went to the site to see what other pics there are, and there are a few (Will Ferrell was drawn in La Ultima Pasion?) different ones I haven't seen, but I'll post my faves. I'm guessing Sonic 3 was supposed to feature time travel (one of the leaks I saw from months ago had a different ending for the ARK/eclipse cannon) so that would explain some of the concept pieces.

I wanna know what's happening here. What's the big ball of trash and why are they on a scooter when they can obviously run/fly much faster?

I'm guessing they were maybe looking for a chaos emerald, in keeping with the "Sonic sent them all over the world" plot point from the end of number 2. This temple(?) collapsing would have been very similar to the Master Emerald temple collapsing in 2, so I doubt they'd have kept it, anyway.

My boy, saving the day with his mighty bite reflex.

Okay, this one really intrigues me. All three boys look WIPED but ain't no way my boy's passing on free food. This could have still been after the first fight with Shadow, as the boys have a very "we lost" look to them. (Tails is so cute.)

I really wish they'd release an "Art of" book for the movies. Have some behind the scenes, interviews, and concept art in them. I'd snatch 'em up.

Digimon Adventure 02 Movie: Hurricane Touchdown & Transcendent Evolution!! The Golden Digimentals, Part 4

Previously on Digimon Adventure: The Ghost of Tragedies Past absconded with all of the children and took them from reality into the cold and empty other place. But then they yelled "Stranger Danger" and kicked it in the junk, so it got mad and took them into the colder and more empty place.

Wallace just wants his kid back, man. He didn't need all this bullshit.

As Cherubimon's grief and pain blanket reality, we find ourselves one layer deeper. Overhead, the sky is cloudy and dark. The ground is gone, replaced by a black substance that flows like water but is hard enough to walk on. But now we have Local Spook Expert Hikari here to explain what the fuck.

Daisuke: This isn't over yet. But... where are we? Iori: Is it part of the Digital World? Miyako: So cold....

Even compared to the cold and empty place that wasn't in この世 Konoyo, this place is cold and empty. Weigh in, Hikari. Is this the cold and empty place?

Wallace: Chocomon's been in a place like this? All by themself...? Hikari: No. This is still the world we live in. It's being transformed by that Digimon!

Thanks, Hikari. Analysis by Weird Shit Expert: We have not, in fact, gone to the cold and empty place outside この世 Konoyo. We're still in the flower field. Cherubimon is warping the fabric of reality to be... this. That may be better or worse than crossing the threshold into the realm of death, depending on your perspective.

In the movie dub:

Davis: Either this is an eclipse or we're in trouble! Cody: I'm not supposed to be out after dark. Yolei: It's cold!

Wallace and Hikari's lines are cut.

In the Redub:

Davis: It's still not over, but... where are we? Cody: Is this the Digital World? Yolei: It's cold.... Willis: Is this where Kokomon's been imprisoned? Kari: No, this is our world but altered to suit that Digimon. That horrible monster we're fighting that's kept your Kokomon trapped inside.

Kari runs out of words before she runs out of lip flaps so she spends the rest of her screentime clarifying what she means by "that Digimon".

Backing away from something up ahead, the Digimon retreat to their human Partners. Poromon and Upamon have already been reverted to their Baby forms by the power in Cherubimon's domain, this time for good. However, V-mon and Gummymon are hanging onto their Child stages.

Upamon bounces into Iori's arms.

Iori: You've turned back into Upamon. Look at what they've done to you....

V-mon and Gummymon keep their eyes ahead, backing slowly towards the children. The children haven't noticed yet, but the Digimon all know what's out there.

The darkness ahead begins to take a familiar shape, and that's when the children see it.

Hikari: I can't sense anything from that Digimon.

Slowly, the darkness forms into the shape of Cherubimon.

The movie dub cuts this part too.

Cherubimon's body recomposes itself, un-disintegrating before the children's eyes.

Daisuke: This is really bad, Wallace!

The black pellets withdraw from the children's surroundings and flow back into wound where Cherubimon's arm was severed. The arm itself reattaches as if the injury never happened.

V-mon: Daisuke, I'll... do something about this.... Gummymon: I'll protect you, Wallace. I'll do it for Chocomon too!

Soon, Cherubimon is fully reconstituted and ready for another round. Poromon wriggles in Miyako's arms, struggling to get back into the fight.

Miyako: Stop it, Poromon! You've done enough!

The Digimon's spirits are willing. But what can they do against power like this?

An interesting note is that Cherubimon doesn't just... regenerate. Doesn't simply heal up a new body from nothing. Special attention is drawn to the specific un-severing of their arm, indicating that both arm and shoulder regenerated separately before reattaching.

This isn't healing. It's another expression of Cherubimon's power to turn back the clock and reset to happier days. Cherubimon doesn't heal their injuries. They reverse themself to an earlier state of being when they hadn't been harmed.

In the movie dub:

Davis: Look! His wounds are healing! (Cherubimon's arm reattaches) Veemon: It's gotta be that virus inside of him! (Cherubimon finishes regenerating) Yolei: Poromon, there's nothing you can do. Stay here! Poromon: LET ME GO!!!

Later than I expected, they finally bring Diaboromon back into the conversation. The movie takes the exact opposite position from the original. Instead of us fighting Cherubimon, who has Chocomon locked away somewhere, we are directly fighting Kokomon, who is being powered and corrupted by Diaboromon somewhere within.

There's... there's a reason why they might play it like that, yeah. We'll get there.

In the Redub:

Davis: Willis! This is looking bad! (Cherubimon's arm reattaches) Veemon: Davis, you can count on me! Terriermon: I promise to protect you, Willis! Kokomon would want me to! (Cherubimon finishes regenerating) Yolei: Poromon, there's nothing you can do. Stay here! Poromon: Let me go!

The tone of Veemon's line is a little different. Veemon is strong and full of conviction, while original Veemon is more bewildered... He's determined to stick it out but lost as to what they could possibly do here. "I'll... do something!"

Yolei, meanwhile, takes her line straight from the movie dub rather than retranslating, which is fine because it's close enough. They also keep Poromon's added cry of "Let me go!" but it's a lot quieter and timed while Yolei's still talking, so it's easier to miss.

Cherubimon floats in the air and lets out a ripple of energy, which blows across the children but doesn't initially seem to do anything. Angemon and Angewomon fly out in front of the creature, putting out gender-coded barriers of blue and pink energy respectively.

Angewomon: What are you trying to do!?

A much younger Daisuke amid the returning flower fields challenges Cherubimon. He hasn't noticed yet.

Daisuke: We're not afraid of this nonsense! Bring it on!

The still older Wallace, however, does notice.

Wallace: Ah! Daisuke!

However, by the time Wallace makes it over to Daisuke, he too has regressed to his earlier childhood.

Wallace: Daisuke, you're tiny! So tiny! Daisuke: Wallace!? What happened to you!?

Then he realizes. Daisuke looks over his arms and body.

Daisuke: WAUGH!!! I'M A LITTLE KID NOW!!! Wallace: Me too....

Wallace is a lot more chill about this experience, which makes sense since this is sorta what he wanted from the beginning even if he hadn't fully parsed it out.

The movie dub does a lot of remixing in this section. Starting here, they start with Willis noticing Davis transforming.

Willis: Huh? Davis, what's happening to you?

And then move the shot of Daisuke challenging Cherubimon behind it.

Davis: Why don't you pick on somebody your own size, you big bully!

Then they take a shot of Hikari and Takeru talking from the next section and splice it in here.

T.K.: Kokomon is making time go backwards! Everyone is getting younger....

Before finishing up with Davis and Willis's conversation.

Willis: Davis, you're a baby! Davis: Huh? Who are you calling a baby, you baby! (Davis realizes) Davis: Gah! I'm a baby! look! Willis: (shocked) ...back... to the beginning...?

They wrap up by having Willis connecting the dots between his mission to "go back" and what's being done to them.

For the Redub:

Angewomon: ...what is he doing? Davis: YOU DON'T SCARE US!!! SO BRING IT ON!!! HIT US WITH WHATEVER YOU'VE GOT!!! Willis: Davis, what happened to you? (Willis de-ages and joins Davis) Willis: Davis, you're a baby! Davis: Who are you calling a baby, Mama's Boy! (Davis realizes) Davis: (gasp) I'm a baby! Look! Willis: (shocked) ...I want... to go back...?

The Redub plays it pretty close to the movie's script but the shots are in their correct order. The movie script itself wasn't that far off from the original script; The most noteworthy difference is that they kept the movie's add-in of Willis connecting the dots.

Hikari and Takeru haven't yet been affected, which might be because of the pink and blue barriers that Angewomon and Angemon are resisting Cherubimon with.

Takeru: This is bad. If this keeps up, they'll make us into little kids too. Angemon: Takeru, I need to reach the Ultimate level. Angewomon: Hikari, I need Ultimate level too! Angemon: If we do that, then we can create something that can turn this situation around. Angewomon: The light of hope will be born! Takeru: Understood. Hikari: Let's do it.

This sounds like rambling nonsense but it's not any more nonsense than "Impale our brothers with arrows to make their Digimon Ultimate-level." The rules are fucky like that. We're currently being turned back into babies by a grief monster.

I'm more stuck on the way they're just casually like, "Hey, evolve me to Ultimate," as if that's... a thing they have ever had the ability to do before. As debuts of brand new transformations go, "Send me into this new form that I guess we have now" is a choice, sure.

Calling the combining of Hikari and Takeru's powers "the light of hope" goes hard, though.

For the movie dub, T.K.'s first line was already swapped to an earlier place in the scene. They cut another shot out from even later of Daisuke and Wallace talking and place it here instead.

Daisuke: Willis! "Back to the beginning" didn't mean "go back to Colorado"! Willis: It means "go back in time to when the virus first attacked Kokomon"! (The angels make their barriers) Angemon: THAT'S IT!!! Angewomon: We have to stop him! Before you know it, we'll be changing diapers!

From here, they splice in even more shots from later in the film. First Yolei struggling to keep Poromon under control now that she's so much smaller and weaker, forcing her to lay her full body weight on top of him and squish him against the ground.

Poromon: Let me go! Yolei: I'm sorry, but you're grounded!

Then Davis charging blindly at Cherubimon swinging his arms, followed by Upamon getting bounced away while a weeping Cody chases after him. After that, we go back to the section of the movie that goes here, with Angewomon and Angemon discussing.

Angewomon: We don't have the strength to defeat him. A new Digimon will have to use the power of the Golden Digi-Eggs. Angemon: Come on! We have to Digivolve to our Mega forms so we can release the Golden Digi-Eggs!

The movie is even more of an abrupt "I guess they can just do that now???" than the original is. They don't even need T.K. and Kari to make it happen.

In the Redub, T.K. flatly explains what's happening for the audience.

T.K.: Kokomon is making time go backwards. Everyone is getting younger! Angemon: T.K.! Quickly, before you get turned into a child too! Angewomon: Kari, help us Digivolve to Mega! Angemon: If we can manage it, we should be able to summon something that will help us to defeat Kokomon! Angewomon: The light of hope will come! T.K.: We'll do it. Kari: Together!

Would the kids being age-reversed prevent their Digimon from evolving? The Redub raises a peculiar question.

There are no hoops to jump through with these brand new Ultimate forms. Takeru and Hikari just... do it. Though because their Partners are at different levels, they have to do the same evolution different ways so that's kinda funny.

Angemon WARP SHINKAAAAAA!!! And Angewomon just... regular SHINKAAAAAA!!!

Takeru: This is... Angemon's.... Hikari: Angewomon's....

Yes, they are.

Holydramon is an Ultimate-stage Vaccine-attribute Holy Dragon Digimon. She debuted in the same Sega Saturn V-Pet that originated the rest of Tailmon's evolution line.

Seraphimon is an Ultimate-stage Vaccine-attribute Seraph Digimon. He technically debuted in a TCG expansion in April of 2000, two months prior to this movie, which brought all the brand new 02 Digimon and their Armor forms into the game.

Then, come July of 2000, Seraphimon made near-simultaneous debuts in this movie, the newly released D-Terminal toy, and the video game Digimon World 2 all within the same month of each other.

Toei Anime Fair movies being in the realm of "questionably canon" for their respective series, I'm gonna need y'all to forget you saw this. I cannot emphasize enough how much it breaks the plot of the show if we remember that Takeru and Hikari can power their Digimon up to Ultimate level now. You never saw this. It did not happen.

Emerging from their Ultimate evolutions, Seraphimon and Holydramon both have noticeable orbs of gender-coded blue and pink energy hanging from their necks. Additionally, down beneath them, the age regression has finally taken Hikari and Takeru, but they're too impressed by their evolved Digimon to care.

Hikari & Takeru: ...Ultimate level!?

Their male and female energies swirl in a delicate dance that isn't at all suggestive of something, how dare you, in order to give birth to the miracle they promised.

The movie dub keeps the name Seraphimon but changes Holydramon to Magnadramon. Literally the same renaming as HolyAngemon -> MagnaAngemon. Referencing the Seraphim is fine but we can't say Holy. Religious references are no-no words.

Kari & T.K.: Oh wow, aren't they beautiful!?

The Redub uses the dub names so it's Magnadramon there too.

T.K.: Is this... really Angemon's Mega? Kari: And Angewomon's too? (Magnadramon swirls around Seraphimon) Kari & T.K.: Oh wow, they're beautiful!

Taking advantage of that earlier shot of T.K. and Kari talking that the movie skipped, the Redub gets to have its cake and eat it by combining both sets of lines.

Unfortunately, though Holydramon and Seraphimon both consent to the combining of their energies, isn't there someone they forgot to ask?

Cherubimon rushes in between them, clocking them both simultaneously with an overhead bash. They hit the pair so hard that they're both instantly KO'd, knocking them back down into Patamon and Gatomon.

Say goodbye to Holydramon and Seraphimon, folks. That was it. That was all they were in the movie for. The continuity-destroying debut of a brand new form, two beloved characters hitting the top level of power, and all they amount to is creating plot doodads for the real protagonists.

However, though the angels are knocked down a several pegs, the energies they produced live on. Cherubimon reaches up to catch and crush them, but the twin spheres slip out of their hand before they can close it and fly straight for Wallace and Daisuke. Though it's a little confusing as to who gets what.

Angewomon's pink miracle flies for Daisuke while Angemon's blue miracle flies for Wallace. But I guess Angewomon was just messing with Daisuke's feelings because it's Angemon's blue miracle that lands in Daisuke's hand, while Angewomon's pink miracle suddenly changes course I guess and goes to Wallace instead.

"These miracles are your--wait, no. Switch. Now that I think about it, you get the Takeru energy. You won't be weird about that one."

In the movie dub, Holydramon gets a line when Cherubimon charges them.

Holydramon: Hurry! Here he comes!

While the Redub takes that back out of there; Neither Mega Digimon ever speaks.

As the twin lights of hope take shape in Daisuke and Wallace's hands, Tailmon calls out to them to explain.

Tailmon: Those are your Digimentals! The Digimentals of Miracles! Daisuke: Our.... Wallace: Our....

Trying to stop this from happening, Cherubimon rushes the boys. V-mon and Gummymon charge out to meet them.

Daisuke: Wallace! DIGIMENTAL UP!!! Wallace: (less confident) Digimental Up!?

Of note: Daisuke's Digimental of Miracles would become officially known by that name going forward. Wallace's Digimental of Miracles, however, would later be renamed to Digimental of Fate for clarity's sake.

In the movie dub:

Gatomon: We release the Golden Digi-Eggs! Now the others can Golden Armor Digivolve! Davis: This is our last shot! Willis: What do I do with this!? Davis: Just do exactly what I do! (Cherubimon attacks; Veemon and Terriermon go out to intercept) Davis: You ready? GOLDEN ARMOR ENERGIZE!!! Willis: Golden Armor Energize!

They keep Willis sounding kind of awkward and uncomfortable when speaking the henshin invocation. Also, I like that the Digimentals of Miracles get a unique invocation to highlight their specialness.

The Redub has both Patamon and Gatomon explain the Digi-Eggs, but also has them start out in their Mega forms and then fade into their base forms as they're talking.

Magnadramon & Seraphimon: Those are the Golden Armor Digi-Eggs! Gatomon & Patamon: They're yours! The Digi-Eggs of Miracles and Destiny! Davis: They're really ours? Willis: The Digi-Egg of Destiny? (Cherubimon attacks; Veemon and Terriermon go out to intercept) Davis: After me! GOLDEN ARMOR ENERGIZE!!! Willis: GOLDEN ARMOR ENERGIZE!!!

This is the only version where Wallace/Willis sounds comfortable doing the invocation.

The Redub uses every possible name for these things. XD Both Golden Armor Digi-Eggs and Digi-Egg of Miracles while also roping in the modern renaming for the Digi-Egg of Destiny. Willis even identifies his by name so there's no confusion over who got what.

Now, powered up by the Digimentals of Miracles, it's finally time. Gummymon and V-mon, ARMOR SHINKAAAAAA!!!

They don't get a fancy-pants evolution sequence for this like Holydramon and Seraphimon got. A wave of energy from the Digimentals washes over them and they're in their new forms. They don't even do a "SHINKAAAAAA" callout. It's very understated, like all of Chocomon and Gummymon's evolutions have been.

Yeah, existing stock footage evolutions aside, the only new evolution sequences they made for this movie went to Holydramon and Seraphimon. Two characters who were in the movie for one minute and spent that time just suggestively twirling around each other.

"Alright, boss, it's time to animate the big evolution sequence. Do we have something really cool in mind for when the Digimentals of Miracles activate?"

"...nah, I only have money for one set of new evolutions and I really want to spend that budget on Hikari's and Takeru's Digimon making out."

NO RESPECT FOR DAISUKE

In any case, V-mon's new form Magnamon (who is actually called Magnamon) is an Armor-stage Free-attribute Holy Knight Digimon.

Rapidmon is an Armor-stage Vaccine-attribute Holy Knight Digimon. A rare instance of an Armor Digimon having an attribute. Not to be confused with Rapidmon, Galgomon's Perfect evolution that the franchise would later introduce. Rapidmon looks exactly the fucking same as Rapidmon except that Rapidmon's armor is green, as opposed to Rapidmon's gold.

This is Galgomon's other Perfect, notwithstanding that they can also become Antiramon. Not to be confused with Wendimon's evolution Antiramon. Look, sometimes Digimon is just like this, okay?

The movie dub gives Magnamon and Rapidmon their evolution callouts as a consolation prize for their lack of proper evolution sequences.

Veemon: VEEMON GOLDEN ARMOR DIGIVOLVE TO.... Terriermon: TERRIERMON GOLDEN ARMOR DIGIVOLVE TO.... Magnamon: MAGNAMON!!! Rapidmon: RAPIDMON!!!

But just in case the lack of evolution sequence left you unsure if you're supposed to be hyped or not, they splice in a shot of Gatomon talking to clarify.

Gatomon: Is that the coolest thing you've ever seen or what!?

Thanks, Gatomon. I can now be adequately hyped.

The Redub keeps the evolution callouts but does not have Gatomon suddenly show up.

Gummymon makes the first attack, firing a pair of missiles with adorable frowny faces into Cherubimon's face. They land between Cherubimon's eyes, burrowing in for a moment before detonating. The ensuing blast takes Cherubimon's head clean off.

Before Cherubimon has a chance to recover, Magnamon follows up with a barrage of energy blasts from every part of his body. The shots pummel Cherubimon, turning their fleshy bag of an outer body into swiss cheese.

Daisuke: Did we get them!? Wallace: I don't know....

Probably not. They can time-reverse all their injuries away. But good hustle, everybody!

In the movie dub, the attacks are named.

Rapidmon: RAPID FIRE!!! (Rapidmon blows Cherubimon's head off) Magnamon: MAGNA BLAST!!! (Magnamon swiss cheeses Cherubimon)

But they cut out the part where it seems like we might have won and skip ahead a bit.

The Redub keeps the attack callouts.

For the moment, victory seems decisive. But....

Magnamon and Gummymon look over Cherubimon's body. They see the creature's torso and arms floating there, but only a smoking vacancy has been left where their head should be.

Magnamon & Gummymon: We did it!

Just as they begin to celebrate, Cherubimon's severed head appears behind them. They scramble to get away, but the head is too quick. In a single bite, Cherubimon devours them both.

Hikari: Ah! What a dark heart....

Once both of their enemies have been consumed, Cherubimon then begins to put itself together again. Say goodbye to Magnamon and Rapidmon, folks. That was it. That was all they were in the movie for. All that build-up and all it amounted to was-- No, I jest. There's more to come for them.

The movie dub continues chopping and rearranging footage. They move a later shot of Daisuke and Wallace in right after Magnamon and Gummymon's attack.

Davis: It didn't work! Willis: He's too strong!

Then edit in a later shot of Poromon, now free from Yolei but badly hurt and struggling to get up. This comes right out of nowhere. When did Poromon both get free from Yolei and attacked by Cherubimon? Did he catch a stray bullet from the Magna Blast a moment ago?

Then we return to the footage that's supposed to be here, of Magnamon and Gummymon discussing Cherubimon.

Rapidmon: Every time we attack, he regenerates! Let's blast him from the inside! Magnamon: Good idea! Follow me!

Magnamon and Rapidmon agree to go inside Cherubimon and shoot them from there. How that would solve the problem of a regenerating foe is unclear. This plan does not remotely sync up with the animation, which shows Magnamon and Rapidmon trying to run away from Cherubimon's mouth and getting pulled in against their will.

Eaten by Cherubimon, Magnamon and Gummymon float in an inscrutable realm of darkness.

Magnamon: It's too dark... I can't see... I can't feel anything.... Gummymon: Wallace... I have to protect him... Who... is Wallace...?

While their minds are being eaten away, outside, Wallace breaks down crying.

Wallace: Chocomon... Gummymon... Where did you go...? Cherubimon: ...ahahahaha...ahahahaha...ahahahaha....

Over and over, Cherubimon repeats that awful laugh. Like a broken voicebox from a toy being triggered over and over, it ushers out of them.

But, despite everything, the children refuse to give up. Iori and Takeru dramatically march to the front with their Digimon but I guess it takes a while because they're not up there when we see the front in a moment.

Miyako wrestles with Poromon, trying to tie a bandage around his wing.

Poromon: I HAVE TO PROTECT YOU TOO!!! Miyako: STOP IT!!! DON'T MOVE UNTIL I FINISH WITH THE BANDAGE!!!

This is one of the Poromon shots that the movie dub spliced in elsewhere.

For the movie dub, we just get the shot of Wallace crying.

Willis: He ate them! Terriermon....

For the Redub:

Magnamon: It's pitch-black... I can't see anything... I can't feel anything.... Rapidmon: I have to protect Willis... but... who... is Willis...? (Cut to Cherubimon exterior) Willis: He ate them! Terriermon... don't go.... Cherubimon: ...ahahahaha...ahahahaha...ahahahaha.... (The children march out to face Cherubimon) Poromon: I'm gonna protect you as well! Yolei: NO!!! You can't move until I finish your bandage!

They keep Willis's line from the dub script and work it in with the retranslations. But that means Chocomon gets snubbed. Wallace is worrying about both of them; This thing that took Chocomon has now taken Gummymon as well, and Wallace is breaking down emotionally over it. But Willis is focused only on Terriermon's plight.

Daisuke and Wallace step forward, joining Hikari at the front of the group. Takeru and Iori had a long walk to go, I guess.

Daisuke: V-mon! Wait for me! Now I'm going to save you! Wallace: Gummymon... all this time, I've been making you worry about me.

Inside the void of Cherubimon's body, the children's words reach their Partners.

Magnamon: I can hear someone's voice.... Gummymon: It sounds familiar....

As the light of recognition fills them and brings them back to their senses, the golden luster returns to their bodies. Their muscles tense up, taking control of themselves once more from the limp state they were in, and their eyes light up once more.

None of this is in the movie dub. Willis and Davis already used that shot of the boys for the "Go back means to go back in time to when the virus attacked!" bit, and the dub's completely cut out the crisis of Magnamon and Rapidmon briefly forgetting themselves inside Cherubimon.

The Redub stays completely on-script.

Tailmon dramatically steps forward.

Tailmon: I've never given up. Even when I was searching for Hikari, I kept searching because I believed one day I'd find her.

Tailmon is engaging in a little bit of historical revisionism. We're just, uh... We're gonna put a big sign over the whole Vamdemon period of her life that just says "Never you mind all that".

Hikari: You've persevered through so much, Tailmon. I've never doubted you, not even for a moment. And I still don't.

Hikari is not engaging in historical revisionism. This is true.

Together, the children face Cherubimon. Miyako is the last to join. Having finished wrapping Poromon's bandage, she carries him to the front.

Movie dub is still skipping scenes. That shot of Tailmon was also spliced in earlier for Gatomon gushing about how cool Magnamon and Rapidmon are.

In the Redub, they seem to have noticed the same thing I did about Tailmon's speech.

Gatomon: Even when things are at their darkest, you must have faith. I always kept hope I'd find Kari deep in my heart, even when my mind had given up. Kari: Yes, that's right, Gatomon. Even the darkest of hearts will also still hold on to hope deep inside.

They rewrite it to account for the fact that, uh, yeah, she did give up. Tailmon had the hope of finding Hikari beaten out of her by Vamdemon, to the point that Wizarmon had to remind her that meeting Hikari was even something she wanted. Love her to death but that is very much a thing that happened, so the new version of her speech incorporates that into the sentiment she's expressing.

As Cherubimon finishes recovering, reconnecting all of their parts, the battle begins again. With the last of their strength, the Partner Digimon charge.

It does not go well. It goes brutally unwell, holy fuck.

The four remaining Partner Digimon charge, represented by a still image of them painted on a stone wall... only for Cherubimon to shatter the wall to pieces with a single punch. A visual metaphor for the absolute massacre that unfolds.

Tailmon's bloody and beaten body falls limp to the ground, unmoving. Hikari runs out in front of her, using her body to shield Tailmon from any further attacks.

Patamon goes flying. Takeru shrieks, but there's nothing he can do.

Daisuke makes a lone charge at Cherubimon, swinging his arms wildly like he's going to fight this thing himself.

A bruised and battered Upamon is sent bouncing away. Iori, weeping, chases after him.

Poromon falls to the ground, battered and beaten, with the bandage around his wing torn off. Miyako picks him back up, carefully reties the bandage, and then sobs loudly while still holding onto him.

In the movie dub, a lot of this brutality was carved out and awkwardly stapled into earlier parts of the fight. This is where Davis charging at Cherubimon, a crying Cody chasing Upamon, and the shot of a battered Poromon no longer held by Yolei came from.

The only part they keep for this part, coming right after a distraught Willis begged Terriermon not to go, is the shot of a crying Yolei retying the bandage on Poromon's wing.

Yolei: Listen to me, Poromon! You have to give it time to heal, okay?

Those two lines make up the entirety of this section in the movie, save for the remixing of several of its shots to the earlier parts of the fight.

The Redub adds one line for T.K., watching Patamon got knocked flying.

T.K.: NO, PATAMON!!!

But otherwise, like the original, there are no words. Only crying. Lots and lots of crying. Therapy for all of these children.

Inside the creature, something stirs in the darkness. All of this crying seems to awaken something deep within. The face of Wendimon, tinted an unnatural green, emerges from the black.

They know crying. They remember Wallace tying a bandage for the crying Chocomon. The camera slowly zooms in on Chocomon's distress turning to a happy, well-loved smile.

Outside, Wallace shrieks.

Wallace: CHOCOMON!!! GUMMYMON!!! CHOCOMON!!! GUMMYMON!!! Daisuke: V-MOOOOOON!!!

While Daisuke continues his reckless charge straight at the monster that's slaughtering their Digimon.

Inside, drawing on the strength of their Partners, Magnamon and Gummymon's miracle armor glows blindingly bright.

Magnamon: Daisuke! Gummymon: Wallace....

The only part of this the movie dub keeps is Wendimon emerging from the darkness and flashing back on the treated injury. They react to the words Yolei just said.

Wendimon: Time to heal....

Meanwhile, in the Redub, Willis once again just doesn't give a fuck about Kokomon anymore, I guess.

Willis: PLEASE, TERRIERMON!!! PLEASE BE OKAY!!! Davis: MAGNAMON, I'M COMIIIIIING!!! Magnamon: Davis.... Rapidmon: Willis....

Willis does say Terriermon instead of Rapidmon, like how Wallace uses Gummymon. Which is. Like. Hold up.

(goes back to previous parts)

...yeah, okay.

Willis never said the name Gargomon either. They did retain Wallace's character trait of using only one name for his Partner. They just made it completely fucking unnoticeable because the name he uses is the one for the most common form that Terriermon occupies. Right here, four minutes before the end credits roll, is the first time it has ever come up.

I don't think they understood the point of Wallace clinging to the name Gummymon and not letting his partner move beyond it. This, right here, is the very definition of following a thing to the letter while missing the spirit of it. Holy fuck.

Inside of Cherubimon, the Wendimon we saw a moment ago appears before Magnamon and Gummymon.

They can only communicate in grunts and howls, but their meaning is clear. They gesture to their heart, then smile a place their hand on their chest. Magnamon and Gummymon understand.

Magnamon: Gummymon... are you sure about this? Gummymon: Please do it... V-mon....

Gummymon and Magnamon open fire on them together. And, with a relieved smile on their face, Wendimon goes to oblivion.

Which, y'know, a huge fucking no-go for the dub so they do a lot of talking around this moment. Following on from "Time to heal", the two Golden Armor Digimon spot Wendimon emerging from the depths of Cherubimon.

Magnamon: What's that up ahead!? Rapidmon: I don't know.... (Wendimon appears) Rapidmon: LOOK!!! What's he doing!? (Wendimon points at his heart) Magnamon: He's trying to tell us something! What's he pointing to? Rapidmon: There must be something inside of him! Magnamon: The virus! He's trying to show us how to help him! Rapidmon: What does he want us to do!? Wendimon & Kokomon: DESTROY.... Magnamon: Destroy the virus! Rapidmon: Right! TIME TO HEAL!!! RAPID FIRE!!! Magnamon: MAGNA BLAST!!!

They then cut out the shot of Wendimon being blasted away into nothingness. Y'know, 'cause we're not shooting him, we're shooting the virus inside of him. Uh, somehow.

...weren't we also supposed to go back in time to stop him from being infected to begin with? What happened to that?

In the Redub:

Rapidmon: ...I understand. Magnamon: Rapidmon, are you sure? Rapidmon: Please... do it, Magnamon. (Wendimon smiles) Rapidmon: RAPID FIRE!!! Magnamon: MAGNA BLAST!!!

The Redub really does not like using the wrong name for Digimon for sentimental reasons. They dropped the names Gummymon and V-mon here for the current forms those Digimon occupy. They also call their attacks, but in a sad tone of voice to match the tone of the scene.

And also Rapidmon gets an extra line acknowledging Wendimon's gesture, which is a change I support because Magnamon asking "are you sure" without being prompted by anything feels awkward.

Outside, Daisuke's still charging at Cherubimon.

Daisuke: V-MOOOOOON!!!

Suddenly, the death inside hits Cherubimon. They let out a gasp of pink smoke and grab their head in pain. But they can't stop it. Pink energy overtakes their body and they change uncontrollably into something new. Something pink and white, with a smile on their face.

Cherubimon is an Ultimate-stage Vaccine-attribute Cherub Digimon. The counterpart of Cherubimon evolved into by the counterpart of Antiramon that Galgomon can become. Except that unlike Antiramon and Antiramon, Cherubimon and Cherubimon have the same attribute so all of their specs are the fucking same even though they're considered different Digimon.

And now I've gone cross-eyed. This movie's additions to the Digimon roster are very popular but also kind of make me want to throw things.

This pink and white version of Cherubimon appears before Wallace with a pleasant smile on their face. Reality around them shifts, becoming lighter and warmer as the flower field re-emerges in their modified space.

Wallace: ...Chocomon...? You're Chocomon, right?

But they're only here to offer Wallace this one last moment of closure before they disintegrate into tiny lights. At long last, they're finally able to move on.

The movie dub has plot points it needs to resolve so they have the good Cherubimon talk.

Willis: Kokomon.... Cherubimon: Willis.... Willis: The virus... It's... all gone! Cherubimon: Thank you....

And then Cherubimon dies, just like in the original.

In the Redub, we get another instance of updating Digimon names to their current forms.

Davis: MAGNAMON!!! WAIT FOR ME!!! (Cherubimon suddenly changes) Willis: ...Kokomon...? Is this... finally the real you...?

But otherwise they stay on-script.

Finally letting Chocomon go, Wallace quite reasonably starts bawling. He has a lot he needs to let out.

Gummymon: WALLACE!!!

Back in their Terriermon form, Gummymon appears in the air with V-mon dangling from their legs. They've finally perfected their technique, it seems.

Gummymon has tears in his eyes too. But he's able to smile through the grief all the same.

Gummymon: Chocomon used to cry a lot. But just now, Chocomon smiled.

That news brings a smile back to Wallace's face. He wipes his tears.

Wallace: Gummymon....

With that final ounce of peace, Cherubimon's domain collapses and reality reasserts itself. The children and their Digimon find themselves in the flower field once more. The real one, and not the simulated memory inside Chocomon's heart.

Daisuke comes forward to offer Wallace the final condolence before we leave this bittersweet place.

Daisuke: Someday... Someday Chocomon will come back to you guys. Wallace: ...yeah!

For clarity's sake, since trying to get Chocomon back has been the entire driving thrust of this conflict so this advice might sound unhelpful, I'm pretty sure he's talking about reincarnation. He says this in the same way that someone who believes in a physical afterlife might say you'll "see them again one day" about a deceased loved one. Digimon explicitly reincarnate after death.

This is the answer to Wallace's desire to get Chocomon back. He can't go back, he can't make things like they were before he lost Chocomon. He can't stay mired in a pleasant memory while the world moves on around him, caged by his own grief and despair. But he can move forward with his life while holding onto hope that he'll see Chocomon again, in Chocomon's next life.

In the movie dub:

Willis: (crying) Now I've lost... both of them.... (Terriermon and Veemon appear) Terriermon: You'll never lose me, Willis! I told you, I'm your friend! Friends are always there for each other. Willis: (smiling) Terriermon! (Willis wipes his eyes and reality reasserts itself) Willis: I guess, without the virus, Kokomon couldn't heal himself anymore. The battle was too much for him. Davis: Don't be sad, Willis! One thing you have to learn about Digimon: They never really die. Willis: Huh? Hm.... Terriermon: Phew!

Oh, okay. I guess it's all fine then. Neat!

This is the same way the dub handled Mimi's gravestones for their fallen friends during the war with the Dark Masters. Playing up the metaphysic of Digimon reincarnation to mean that their deaths don't really matter because it's not like they're dying for good or anything.

You can feel the difference between a reincarnation death in a culture that believes in reincarnation versus one that believes in leaving the world for good to take up permanent residency in the afterlife. Afterlife believers are like, "I mean, if you come back afterwards then did you even really die?"

In the Redub:

Willis: (crying) Now I've lost... both of them.... Terriermon: You'll never lose me, Willis! Please don't cry! I promised I'd always be by your side! And Kokomon... was smiling.... Willis: (smiling) Terriermon! (Willis wipes his eyes and reality reasserts itself) Davis: I know it's hard but... someday... I'm sure that Kokomon will return to you, Willis.

They split the difference, mostly following the movie script for Terriermon's return but squeezing in the main point that Kokomon is at peace, almost as an afterthought.

But then they keep Daisuke's sympathetic consolation to Wallace instead of using the more flippant one that Davis gives Willis in the movie.

Returning to what I assume is New York, it's time for the Japanese kids to say goodbye to Wallace.

Daisuke: Taichi-san and the others have returned safely.

Meanwhile, the fate of all the train occupants Wendimon abducted remains unknown. They did not join Taichi and the others in the dark place and were barely ever even brought up again so... I guess the thing that took Chocomon ate them or something.

I jest. We can fairly assume they were returned too. It's just funny that they fell off the face of the plot the way they did. The Chosen Children were being filtered to see if one was Wallace but those people couldn't be Wallace so... I guess Wendimon chucked them in the Cosmic Reject Bin straight off.

Wallace: I'll come visit Japan someday. Daisuke: Yeah! Wallace: But for now, I've decided I want to travel more.

As a farewell, Wallace suddenly sneaks a kiss onto Hikari's cheek, then Miyako's. Then he runs for it before Daisuke has a moment to process what just happened, snatching up Gummymon as he goes.

Wallace: Ehehe! Have that instead of a farewell! Daisuke: WHAT THE HELL DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING!?!? Miyako: He seems a lot stronger now. Hikari: Sure does. Do you really think he'll come visit us in Japan? Daisuke: He's not coming anywhere near Hikari-chan!

Too late, Daisuke. Wallace got the last laugh in this complicated frenemy dynamic you've cultivated with him. Better luck next time.

But if it makes you feel better, you can take solace in the fact that Wallace being questionably canon means we'll never see him again until, like... 2020 when the fans take over the franchise. Though, in the meantime, you're still screwed because of Takeru, whose existence is even more canon than you.

The movie dub has Willis explain the transition.

Willis: Thanks for coming back to New York with me. Gonna miss you guys. Davis: I think we'll see each other again.

We will not. Even after 2020, Wallace/Willis is just an occasional fun cameo going forward. I think there's a drama CD or something out there with him on it, but that's it.

Willis: I sure hope so! We're sorta getting used to being part of a team, right Terriermon? Terriermon: Yeah! Willis: One last thing.... (Willis kisses the girls and runs for it) Davis: HEY, WHAT DID I TELL YOU ABOUT KISSING KARI!?!? SHE'S MY GIRL!!! Kari: What do you mean, your girl? Davis: Uhhhh nothing! Just guy talk....

Kari directly confronts Davis for his possessiveness, while Miyako and Hikari were content to ignore Daisuke's reaction.

The Redub stays on-script with the original scene here.

Finally, we close the film on Wallace out traveling to find himself. He's at a pay phone beside a long stretch of highway beside a beach, calling home to his mom to let her know he's safe.

Wallace: (English) Mom, I'm going to go home very soon. ... No, I'm not telling you that I hate to be home. I miss you so much! ... Mom, you know that I love you. Gummymon: Wallace spends so much time on the phone....

Suddenly, the boys hear something. A Digitama washes up on shore nearby, which they both instantly recognize from the sound somehow.

Hanging up the phone, Wallace and Gummymon take off running to welcome Chocomon in to their new life. The end.

...with one post-credits shot just in case the new Digitama was unclear.

I really like that we get to see the Digitama for ourselves here, and don't just have to go on Daisuke's promise of a next life for Chocomon. Because I think it adds a lot of closure to Wallace's journey. It's validating for the choice Gummymon had to make back in the void to kill Chocomon's memory.

This is the movie's final statement on Wallace and Chocomon. Wallace still loves Chocomon. He always will. But letting go, letting himself grieve and then finally moving forward with his life while leaning on Gummymon for mutual support doesn't just make their lives better.

Wallace thought he was coming all this way in order to bring Chocomon home and make everything like it was before and then nothing has to change.

But that wasn't it. What he had to do instead was bury Chocomon in that field of flowers. Close the door on that part of his life and walk away hand-in-hand with the one he still has left. And now they are all better for it; Wallace, Gummymon... and Chocomon too, whose spirit could finally move on to their next life.

Nothing will ever be the same again. But it can still be good.

...and also Wallace's mom is definitely going to call the police and have them go collect her child. Wallace officially qualifies as a runaway at this point.

BOY WE DO NOT SEND TEN-YEAR-OLDS AWAY ON POKEMON ADVENTURES IN THE REAL WORLD, YOU GET YOUR ASS BACK HERE.

For the movie dub:

Willis: Hi, mom! I'm here on the island. I'm just waiting for the ferry and then I'll be right home. ... Hehe, yeah! I had a lot of fun! It was a great trip! ... Oh, I met a lot of new friends! I did get into a couple of fights, but I'll tell you all about it later. ... Yeah, I miss you too. Terriermon: Does anyone besides me smell a Digi-Egg? (Digi-Egg washes up) Digi-Egg: ...Willis.... Willis: (gasp) Terriermon: Huh? Willis: KOKOMON!!! (Willis and Terriermon go running for the Digi-Egg) Kari (V.O.): Like I said, Willis learned about teamwork the hard way. He also found out that Davis was right. Digimon never really die! Their information just gets reconfigured, only sometimes they come back singing a different tune!

Kari's last line sets up a parting gag, using footage of Wendimon swaying back and forth and chanting at the start of the third act fight. Smash Mouth's All Star plays while Wendimon attempts to roar to the tune, badly.

Willis: ...he's tone-deaf.

Goodnight, everybody!

Yes, the unhatched Digi-Egg actually called out to Willis. XD That made me laugh.

As for the Redub:

Willis: Mom, I'm going to come home soon, I promise. ... No, I don't hate you. I miss you so much, I swear! ... I just have a couple more things I have to do, okay? Terriermon: I guess some things never change.

The Digi-Egg does not talk in this version. They keep it to this.

Assessment: Holy shit, what an emotional roller coaster this movie was. The story of Wallace, Chocomon, and Gummymon is intensely complicated and I feel like I could watch it multiple times over and keep noticing new things every time. I see now why the Terriermon/Lopmon lines became so popular.

I was also surprised by the dub version of the movie, which managed to be closer to the original despite having to connect it to Our War Game than I expected it to be.

As for the Redub... I would call it mostly great. I have some qualms about some of the choices they made, particularly with regard to the emotional core of Wallace's journey, but overall I think it does demonstrate how far dubbing has come since the early 00's.

And with that... movie done. Time to return to the show in progress. Did you know there's a guy called Digimon Kaiser? Because that is a thing that's happening. And someone should probably go do something about that!

[meagancandraw]

you’ve only drawn eclipse like twice as far as i know… do you have a design for him if he wore clothes like the rest of your designs? after all, i have never seen you draw him with an outfit so i was curious! if you dont have a design for him with clothes, is there any reason why? :D

Not really. I haven't given much thought to what kind of outfit he would wear. Whenever I think about it, all that comes to mind is the shirt he wore in this post

[ayyy-imma-ninja]

Hello, it me. I have more questions for thee!

Are the Ask the Black Sun Fairy questions still up, or are they shut down for the time being?

A question my big cousin asked me to ask you: Do you write out the story lore first, then design the characters, or vice versa? (a weird question if ya ask me)

Do the imp twins have paws or hooves? Looked at their refs and there feet look like paws? Really small ones? Idk. 😅

Sun loves field mice, Moon loves raccoons, and Lunar loves lizards. What is Eclipse's favorite animal? (Why doesn't Tumblr have a yellow color option?-)

What does the Realm look like?

Have you watched all the HTTYD movies (plus Netflix series)? If you haven't then you had no childhood. /silly

hello!

the Ask the Black Sun Fairy questions are still a thing, I'm just holding on answering them until I pick the story up again.

Gonna be honest, for a lot of my AUs I design the characters first. Then I build the world around it. Which might seem strange for some but it's how they've been built QwQ

The imp twins have little hooves!

Eclipse is rather fond of cats, though nowadays he tries to hide it.

The Realm is an ethereal place full of mystical magic where mythical creature reside and hide. It's basically a realm within a realm, one that can only be accessed via specific places, like fairy rings or the hollows of trees for example.

I've seen the first movie. I'm not particularly drawn to the series, but the first one was okay.

[deilkmizuo]

Actually, I have an AU about the High Priest of a cult, Phil, which I usually call Eclipse 🌒🌓🌔🌕🌖🌗🌘

Techno was the kind of child who learned quickly but was timid and needed someone to guide him. Phil, on the other hand, was a typical "little adult."

Due to the circumstances at home, Phil had to grow up early. At times, Techno found Phil to be so mysterious that it felt unsettling—almost eerie. But just as those thoughts crept in, Phil’s kindness would always wash them away.

One day, missionaries came to Techno’s home. However, merchants rarely had an interest in religion, so his family politely declined. Unexpectedly, the missionaries' expressions darkened, and they began condemning Techno’s family as heretics. Behind them stood Phil, silent but present—because those missionaries were his family.

It was then that Techno learned the truth: Phil’s faith was built upon flesh and blood. Many despised their beliefs, viewing them as nothing more than a cult—devoted to forbidden scriptures and the supreme deity, Ender King.

By the time they entered elementary school, Techno started noticing strange wounds and bruises on Phil. Every time he asked, Phil would brush it off with an excuse. Though Techno never got a real answer, deep down, he had already guessed what was happening in Phil’s home.

As a child, there wasn’t much Techno could do. The most he could offer was an open invitation for Phil to stay over or a listening ear whenever Phil needed to vent. But as the days passed, Techno began to notice something even stranger—glimmering violet crystals growing from Phil’s skin, and words leaving his lips that made no sense.

Eventually, as they grew older, their paths split. Techno had to focus on inheriting the family business, while Phil, inevitably, took his rightful place as the High Priest of his order.

Years passed before they met again. Techno had expected Phil to be in even worse shape—but the reality was the opposite. Phil looked... radiant. Strangely energetic. And above all, he was kind. Unnervingly kind.

Something like this—I’ve already planned out my story, but I haven't drawn the art yet 😥😥

[loremaster]

so @yakool-foolio's new fic Solar Eclipse is pretty great, and reminded me of some more art i have had stored in my vault of "stuff to post eventually"

...the whole 'pinning yakou up against the wall and taking away his cigarette' thing?

i had drawn this before the dlc came out and i imagined vivia a bit more forward in expressing his feelings (back when i had to imagine this whole relationship dynamic for myself because they put it all in the extra paid content U_U) ...which is why i haven't posted it, bc now i feel like this is ooc. oh well.

"Last night, in my Rain Code server, the notion arose that Vivia could be possessed by another spirit when he's spiritually projecting, since his body is now without a soul and is essentially a vessel. It originally started out as just a fun idea of 'what if Melami could possess Vivia to allow her to speak through him since they're both in touch with spiritualism, kinda like a Mia Fey type deal?' And then I had to make the concept of possession oh-so much worse."

...yeah i drew that too. i remember back in december, neo said this same thing on tumblr and i immediately had to stop everything and draw this. (and this time i didn't post it bc i didn't have a scanner over winter holidays rip) ...yeah. anyway this one's just an ace attorney joke, enjoy

Total Eclipse

Eclipse!Sans x OC

Eclipse!Sans belongs to @llamagoddessofficial and I am rather obsessed with them! I hope I captured them accurately but I couldn't help but wonder how they'd react to my OC.

Their design is based on art that @sparticus2000art created. I loved the first one the most so I hope you don't mind that I used it.

Background: This drabble is not canon to The Nightmare of Apathy and is a sort of "What if?" situation for whatever happens after the story ends.

All you really need to know to enjoy this is that the Reader was in a relationship with Nightmare and lives in his castle with the rest of the gang. The world is only lit up by the moon and the stars, thanks to Nightmare's influence.

Word Count: 1,959

You woke up alone, which wasn't too unusual in of itself. Still, you couldn't help but feel slightly disappointed that Nightmare hadn't joined you this time. He'd been extra busy ever since forming a treaty with his brother but you'd hoped he'd take a break on his own. Now it seemed like you'd have to go bug him about getting proper rest, even though he always insisted that he didn't need to.

You crawled out of bed and pulled the curtains aside. Just like always, the world outside the castle was dark. Only the light from the stars and the moon could pierce through the veil, but you didn't mind as it was all you'd ever known. Well that wasn't entirely true since you'd visited a few other worlds by now. Despite how pretty it was, you didn't think you'd get used to how bright the sun was anytime soon.

To your surprise and shock, the moon looked...different.

Somehow, it had turned black although the edges also seemed to be glowing. It was so bright, that you couldn't bear to look at it for longer than a second.

What did this mean? Was the world in danger? You'd never heard of anything like this happening before, although there was one person who might.

With little care for your appearance, you threw on a robe and hurried through the castle to find Nightmare, but when he wasn't in any of his usual spots like his office or the library, you started to get worried. In your hurry, you nearly ran into Killer in the hallway but his quick reflexes kept the two of you from ending up on the floor in a heap.

"woah there, what's the hurry, angel?" he asked teasingly.

"Where is he?!" You were slightly out of breath and had to take a moment to recover. "Where's Nightmare?"

Killer hummed thoughtfully, "i actually haven't seen him in a while." He seemed to notice how concerned you were and the corners of his smile quirked up slightly. "what? is the world ending or something?" he asked with a chuckle.

You huffed and shot him a glare. "Maybe? The moon is completely messed up and I don't know where he is."

That seemed to catch his attention. "i'll go ask the others and see if they've heard anything."

You nodded and Killer shot you a wink before vanishing into mid-air. As irritating as he could be, you had to appreciate how serious he got when it counted. No wonder Nightmare trusted him with important jobs.

You continued to search the castle and were soon joined by Nightmare's other henchmen, but no matter how hard you looked, there was no trace of him. At some point, you happened to glance outside and noticed that there was somebody on the veranda. They were facing away so you couldn't really make out what they looked like beyond being a tall skeleton with pitch black bones.

Maybe you should've been more cautious about approaching the strange skeleton, especially with everything that had happened before the treaty, but the moment you stepped outside, you couldn't help but feel drawn to them. They just felt oddly familiar, like an old friend or loved one.

You only got about halfway across the veranda when they seemed to sense your presence. They turned quickly and the moment you made eye contact, you realized that despite what you had thought, you'd never seen them before.

They were much taller than you'd initially thought; easily pushing eight feet tall, making them taller than even Horror. While their bones were indeed black, they actually seemed to have a white glow, kind of similar to Dream. Their eyelights were mismatched, with the left being cyan while the right was gold, and there was a flared halo hovering around the top of their skull. You were also immediately struck with their intense aura that was reminiscent of both the god brothers. You could feel your eyes start to sting with tears that threatened to spill over and yet your soul nearly leapt for joy at the same time.

They wore an elegant black overcoat with white epaulettes, a flared collar, white buttons, a white sun motive on the lapels, and their tail coats had a white lining. Under the jacket, they had on a dress shirt with lace ruffles, high waisted black pants with buttons that matched the jacket's, and knee high boots with white accents.

"Who...? Who are you?" you asked cautiously.

They gave you an amused smile but said nothing at first and just continued watching you.

You frowned and took a step closer. They just seemed so familiar and you felt like you should know who they were. The more you stared up into their eyes, the stronger that feeling became. His facial bones vaguely resembled Nightmare's but maybe that was just because their left eyelight was the same colour.

Your eyes widened with the realization that this was why he hadn't been anywhere in the castle. What could've caused such an extreme change in appearance? Was this related to the moon?

"Nightmare?"

Their smile didn't falter and they just continued watching you, although you felt their already very intense aura flare up even more. You could feel the buzz of ecstasy in your veins and how your soul seemed to swell from the positivity.

It actually hurt.

You recoiled and quickly stepped back. While your body was nearly overwhelmed by emotions, your mind was relatively clear at the moment. You wished you had more control over your magic, especially for times like these, but at least you had some defense against this manipulation attempt.

This wasn't Nightmare. It couldn't be! He wasn't capable of inflicting positive emotions and he hadn't tried to influence your emotions at all since the beginning of your relationship. There was only one other person who could, and previously had, tried to do these things.

"Dream...?" you tried again, although your voice trembled as you spoke.

They blinked before the amused smiled finally faded a bit. They did vaguely resemble the god of positivity, especially with the whole inflicting positive feelings ability. The gold right eyelight did seem like the exact same shade as his as well.

"That is not my name anymore."

You could hardly believe your ears but their voice was exactly like Nightmare's, although it was the one he used when he was trying to intimidate mortals. It was nothing like the calm, velvety tone he used when you were alone together.

You couldn't keep yourself composed any longer and the tears that had threatened to burst earlier, now flowed freely down your cheeks. You didn't want to believe it, but you could see that something terrible had befallen your partner and it seemed like Dream was involved as well.

You felt their claws press into the skin around your jaw as they ever so gently tilted your head up to meet their gaze again. When had they gotten so close?

Even though your head was dwarfed by the size of their hands, they were so careful as they wiped your tears away with the tips of their claws. You didn't dare move in case they injured you with how sharp they were.

It felt like their eyelights could pierce through to your soul with how intensely they were gazing at you. Their aura felt a lot warmer all of the sudden too and your mind felt kind of fuzzy.

They began to stroke your hair in what felt like a reassuring way, although you felt shivers run down your spine every time their claws grazed your scalp. You had been in too much of a hurry to brush your hair earlier and their claws caught on the occasional knot every now and then, but they were careful not to tug on the individual strands too much at least.

"It's... It's alright to cry..." Their voice suddenly lowered mid-sentence until it was almost a whisper. It still didn't sound exactly like Nightmare's voice but it was eerily similar. "Would...a hug help you feel better?"

You swallowed and barely got out a "Yes" when they practically engulfed you in a warm embrace. Their bones were quite literally warm, much like Dream's were the few times you'd touched him, although you could sense that the temperature was actually from how much mana they had contained in their form than anything else.

You couldn't physically wrap your arms around them, so you settled for letting your hands rest on their chest instead. They didn't seem to mind in the slightest, although you thought you faintly heard a soft purr when you touched them.

They suddenly scooped you up in their arms as if you were nothing but a small child, causing you to gasp as your feet left the stone tiles. They held you close to their ribcage and pressed their teeth against your hair, as if mimicking a kiss.

"Dear little human... I'm sorry for causing you such distress."

You sniffled and buried your face into their shirt. Everything felt wrong and knowing that this entity wasn't Nightmare hurt so much.

"You're...a very special human. The last thing I want is to hurt you..." they purred.

"Do... Do you remember me...?"

They stilled for a moment before moving to sit down on a nearby bench and setting you in their lap. They resumed stroking your hair before even attempting to answer your question.

"I'm sorry, dear, but I can't remember someone I've never met." They moved one of their hands to your back and began to rub circles into your shoulders. "You're certainly familiar to me though."

You pulled back so you could look up at them again. "Night...what happened to you? Why do you look like this? I don't... I don't understand what's going on..."

"I'm not your Nightmare, not anymore," they answered. They paused for a moment, as if trying to find the right words to say next. "I'm not either of them anymore. This is...just the natural result..."

"But why?"

"It just is. I am the god of feelings, both positive and negative." They sighed and lightly caressed your cheek. "If it is of any comfort to you, they didn't plan for this to happen."

You took a deep breath. "Was it because of the truce?"

The edges of their permanent smile quirked up slightly but they said nothing. You weren't sure if that was a yes or no but you couldn't think of any other reason for the brothers to have accidentally merged into one body out of nowhere.

They let out a quiet chuckle and softly poked your nose. "He may not have always been able to say it, but he loved you so much. If you'll allow me, I would be happy to share the depths of his love with you sometime, dear."

You furrowed your eyebrows and glanced away from them. "I... I don't know... Does this mean you have their memories?"

They shook their skull ever so slightly. "Not quite, but I have their combined knowledge. Anything you could possibly want to know, I can explain."

"How about a name first?"

They practically beamed and quickly pressed their teeth against your forehead. "My name is Total Eclipse or, if you prefer, you can just call me Eclipse."

You felt your cheeks grow warm at the contact but quickly forced any emotions down for now. "My name is Aylin. It means 'moon halo' and, well..."

They let out a quick bark of laughter. "...'the one who belongs to the moon...' I think it's rather fitting."

"That's... That's actually almost exactly what he said when we first met..."

"I told you, I know everything that they knew..."

Hi sorry im a bit shy- fist AMAZING ARTWORKS! is been a while since I stpped by yor blog, and you have improved so much! you art is wonderfull! but-I was here because of something- and so sorry if others asked and I missed it! but there's this show called Eclipse and Puppet show, based on the FNAF SB games.. yersterday they posted a video using 3D models of your characters sploinkus and yoinkus, and..maybe is due to past issues with the channel..but wanted to ask if you ever stated anyone could make use of your guys? Im trully sorry for the bother!! just wanted to make sure in case you cared! please keep being amazing!

I'm so happy you like my art so much, it means a lot to me~ 🫂❤️‍🩹

And to answer your question, I'm not the official creator of Sploinkus and Yoinkus. They already existed as a somewhat funny concept. I don't remember who the main creators are, but it all started when I saw them and drew them because I found them funny, but what I didn't expect was that people would find them adorable instead of funny, maybe because of my drawing style, so I started making them adorable and small, modifying the original design to make something of my own and doing my own things with them. I didn't get in trouble for that since the creator of Sploinkus' design was amazed by my concept. However, due to the relevance of what I did, many people relate Sploinkus and Yoinkus to me, so I don't blame you for that. Anyway, thank you for paying so much attention and reaching out to me. Unfortunately, I haven't drawn them anymore, but I'm doing a few things to try to bring them back 🩷

Sorry if I have translation errors, this is not my primary language ~

Queen Lightbringer Ref | DT

Dont ask why she uh... NaKeD? (It's bcs I can't draw clothes on a frikin lizerd with wings, man, ITS SIMPLE AS THAT-)

Anyways, This is Queen Lightbringer, she hatched on a Lunar Eclipse, which is why she is tinted red (If you wanna learn more, you can go here). I don't know much about her (bcs her creator/owner (My frend Leo) didn't write her a backstory :') ) but all I can say is, she's a TALL Nightwing with a weird red tint which normie ahh Nighywings don't have also 2 colored silver scales (that also give her weird powers) that look like eyes bcs eclipses can do that now apparently. Oh yeh Eclipsed-Nightwings also have glowing eye scale patterns under their wings now. (Also her pupils are white & glow, weird am I right?)

Now as for the Bio... idk man... This is more of a placeholder bio than anything. VVV

|| idfk what her age is | Female, She/Her (pronouns might be changed) | TALL | ?? | Nightwing (Eclipsed) |

Btw Bonus lol (No wings bruh)

You know it's kinda weird to have a Nightwing w/o having a wonky ahh posture. But then again I guess bcs HER LEGS are weird longer than normal. (No that isn't bcs of the gosh digity eclipse... Unless it was?)

Anyways Credits bcs why not:

Character was designed by me. (Srry if wonky, haven't drawn dragons in like a long time + Nightwings are build weird)

Art is mine.
