Since it's almost July 8th where I am, I decided to just do a meta rant for Tai and Sora today for @taichiyagamiweek. Before I start- I do not ship them and request that you don't tag as ship. Just because it may read that way, but I don't want my post to be weaponized for ship wars/character bashing.

I saw some other people start on this already, with some entries discussing how their character development leans on each other. And it does. Heavily. ...In Adventure. After that, they kind of drift apart.

These two are the only non-siblings who knew each other before that fateful week at camp. And they're somewhat like siblings, with Sora's "mom" personality coming off a little less strict with Tai than the others. She can be exasperated with him at times, but knows he's got a good head on his shoulders. He's proven himself on the soccer pitch, and takes those leadership skills into the Digital World.

Sora sees the writing on the wall with SkullGreymon long before anyone else. Of course, no-one could predict that Agumon would become such a beast. But she knows Tai isn't acting like himself, and even tries to stop him from jumping in front of the other Greymon.

In return, Tai tries to be there for her, in his own way. He just comes off as accidentally insensitive sometimes (like when Sora believed herself incapable of love). In Adventure, the characters teeter between childhood and their teen years, which is a really awkward age. Add in Tai being naturally impulsive- saying the first thing that comes to mind- and it may seem like he doesn't care. But he prepares to sacrifice his own life to save Sora from Datamon, and trusts her skills as well as she trusts his.

The shift starts in Our War Game. The root of the friendship becoming less close is character decay on Sora's end. From here up through Kizuna, she sits out important battles, becomes increasingly feminine, and stops sharing as much screentime with Tai compared to Matt. Now, femininity is not bad by nature, and there are logical reasons for the first two points (not so much the third, other than marketing). But I do feel all three contribute to their "drifting apart".

Becoming more feminine puts her in different social circles. Tai stays in the soccer field. Other, non-DigiDestined boys did as well. Some of the kids in tri. may be childhood acquaintances, who even knew Sora. But by tri., Sora's retired from soccer. It's doubtful she'd even still talk to Tai if not for their shared digital adventure.

Not having as much screentime with Tai- including sitting out key battles- does not help. Because they spend less time together, their drifting only hastens. Sometimes it feels like Sora is a background character in Tai's life. A shame given how important she was in Adventure- to Tai and the group.

This isn't a bad thing persay. People grow up. They make new friends. They don't keep friendships from their childhood. But it's also a symptom of a greater issue with Sora's writing. And it's Tai's loss. He could use her voice of reason more now than ever, with his Digimon gone and his heart in pieces.

Day 6 of @digimon02countdown

I remember being very excited to see Hikari/Kari and Tailmon/Gatomon in 02. She was my favorite digidestined at the time (although it might be because she was pink and that was my favorite color ). She still remains one of my favorites and seeing her take a more active part in this season (getting to show how awesome she is besides just being Tai's little sister) is one of my favorite aspects of Digimon Adventure 02.

"Shall we dance... Again?" Unfortunately, I didn't have a lot of time to work on this, but it's been a few years since I gifted @izzyizumi a birthday gift, so... This can definitely be seen as a little sequel to back then. 🧡💜

Closed starter for @dragonskxn ((TEEHEE))

Well the tour HAD been going well up until about five minutes ago...

It was going on evening when the incident happened. They'd taken a wrong turn, an understandable mistake when they'd been chattering away so excitedly, Jonas about the history of Las Vegas and Annalise full of questions. And then they'd looked up, realized they were going down through an alleyway in a rough neighborhood and before Jonas could hastily steer them back into a safer direction...they'd run into trouble. And it had a gun.

Jonas tried. He honestly did. Anna could feel him trembling as he stepped in front of her, holding his hands out in a placating gesture. " L-Look we don't want trouble ok? Just uhm leave her out of this whole thing look I got my wallet here..."

THUNK!

Jonas caught the butt of the pistol right across his left temple, so hard it swept him off to the side and into the far wall with a noticeably loud THUD!

He lay there half-upright, eyes closed, blood beginning to run down the side of his face. Completely out for the count.

Poor little Annalise! Helpless! Exposed! The ruthless mugger approaches thinking her easy prey at this point...

But who's really the damsel in distress at this moment? It's Jonas it's always Jonas...

A Brief Summary of Digimon's Sixth Rangers (At Least up Until Fusion Because I Dunno Shit About Fusion)

Hikari Yagami/Kari Kamiya: Was actually supposed to be here from the get-go but called out sick to 2/3 of the plot. Don't worry kiddo, you get to come back for Season 2 (Great!) and thus get twice the psychological trauma (Less Great)

Ken Ichijouji: Being a star athlete, academic genius and a jack-of-all-trades is no match for the power of brother issues and latent homosexuality.

Ryo Akiyama: Neat reference to the Wonderswan games!...Why is he here? What's his role in the group dynamic?...Look it's this or we psychologically torment the middle schoolers some more, pick your battles here

Koichi Kimura: Brother issues...2! We lost the homosexuality but replaced it with 50% more kittycat and near-death experiences.

Ikuto Noguchi/Keenan Crier: Digimon Tarzan is real and he wants you to get the fuck out of his house
