[ran-orimoto]

I want to know you bettah. A favourite character and ship for each Digiseason

Funny, Anon!!!!!! ~~~~~ I don’t really have defined opinions on the series that come after the first four, with the exception of Appmon and Ghost Game. So, sorry if I will skip those other three!

Adventure 01

• Mimi: My princess💕. Along with Katara from ATLA, she’s my own definition of what a girl character should be written like, but I don’t think you want to read long explanations😂.

• Michi: Mimi was a second mc by Taichi’s side. I feel like she had a mirror role in comparison with Taichi’s, as if she’s some sort of girl icon for the franchise. I don’t know how to explain it, but she has got so much presence in the anime, in the merch, in posters; she is voiced by AIM which allowed her to have her own ending, and somehow it feels like this fact makes her omnipresent in the history of the Digimon anime. Wishful thinking, but I like them together because of so many other reasons. THEY JUST CLICK SO WELL.

-Adventure 02

•Miyako: I know I know, she’s not that jewel of character when it comes to her writing, bur her concept has always intrigued me even when I didn’t know Digimon that well. She’s funny, clever, she’s connected with Mimi, she’s also got such a cute design ngl. Can I say she’s my favourite because of these shallow reasons? I think I will find many others when I rewatch 02.

• Daiyako: MY GUILTY PLEASURE. They’re so precious in each other’s regards, always being in the middle of teasing sessions but eventually showing to care about each other so much ? They can work platonically too, and I love pairings that are amazing both platonically and romantically.

-Tamers

KINDA HARD, I will admit it. I like the characters from Tamers but I don’t feel that connected to them. I used to have a huge adoration for Jenrya but it faded somehow. I like Ruki and Hirokazu but not that excessively. I relate to Juri sometimes but she has got so many moments that make me cringe out. It’s … A complex relationship…

• Takato: Again, I’m not THAT attached to him but he is a huge cinnamoroll and a great new beginning for the franchise. I like he’s so ordinary and creative, because…I can relate🤣. And I admit people often call me a girl Takato, sooooo🤣. Like you can see, I don’t have anything to say ahahahha.

• Rukato: MY BBIES, my bbies who are so pleasant at the sight too, thanks to their matching palettes. I confess I come from being a huge Jenruki shipper. Then, I’ve grown bored of those two and I’ve started getting so attracted by Ryouki and Rukato, but the latter eventually won especially because of Runaway Locomon. How could I keep myself from shipping those two after that film? I know there’s Jurato, but the future dramas made me dislike the way things develop…

-Frontier

• Junpei: my only prince son💕

• Junzumi.

.

SHOULD I REALLY SAY SOMETHING, C’MON🤣💕💕💕💕💕

- Appmon

• Eri: I like how she finally brought back a kind of digigirl who could be considered a real character with an interesting story, a nice and quirky personality, meaningful relationships. I had got tired of so many sexualized and pretty uninspiring digigirls (starting from Frontier era SIGH).

Eeeeh I don’t know. I liked Eri and Torajirou but I’ve discovered he’s 11 and she’s 14, so ehmmmmm. Even if the anime pushed it a bit, maybe it’s not the case to ship them ahaha.

I’ll go with • Haru x Yuujin because they are a parallel Jurato✨.

-Ghost Game

• Emma: I KNOW SHE IS NOT PART OF THE TRIO AND SHE APPEARED FOR LESS THAN AN EPISODE, but she ensnared me and makes me salty whenever I see her, because she would have been a perfect four member. Leave me alone, I need to cry and mope.

• Ruri x Kiyoshiro: The total flop this shipping was because in GG the kids had 0 interesting interactions and I want to cry again, because why is that anime so unfair. Still, I ship them, I don’t care. Ruri had her small teasing moments with Kiyoshiro and their personalities CLASH. Idk Ruri would take him to the worst night trips in forests, parks and he would tag along because Jellymon’s and Ruri’s personalities are so perfectly aligned!

Thank you for the ask!💕

[bobgoesw00t]

Got two more ship templates all nice and polished!!! While I’m SUPER FUCKING EXCITED for the new Digimon Adventure movie focusing on Daisuke and the 02 kids (THANK GOD ALMIGHTY TOEI LISTENED TO THE OUTCRY OF THE FANS FOR HOW THEY GOT TREATED IN TRI!!!!!!!!!!!), WHERE THE FUCK IS THE SEQUEL TO TAMERS AND FRONTIER GOD DAMNIT!?!?!?!?!?!? I NEED MOAR JENKATO IN MY LIFE!!!!!!!

[imaginedigimon]

HI THERE!!! I saw your Daikeru headcanon post recently and I have to ask if you have any tooth rotting fluffy HCs for Takato x Jenrya??? :3

Hello! I’m glad you stopped by!

Finally some more Tamers stuff I need to think about Tamers more beyond Terriermon

I hope you don’t mind my use of the English names, haha xD

A’ight, Takato and Henry... oh boy this is new territory LET’S GO

Takato x Henry Headcanons

Takato? Completely oblivious

Henry so obviously has a crush on him

Like seriously bruh

Terriermon even went “haha Henry you’re blushing again” and Takato’s like “oh you should probably go drink some water”

Like????? HOW HARD IS IT?

Rika’s had enough of this shit tbh

She literally walks away when she senses the bullshit coming

Finally one day Takato says to Rika, “Henry’s kinda cute”

And Rika’s like “you are fucking kidding me right now”

Henry’s literally 6 feet away and Terriermon repeats what Takato just said and Henry internally loses his shit

Like “FUCK WHAT DO I DOOOO”

Alright are you here for the flirting friend I think you are

Everyone’s here for my flirting takes

Henry: opens his mouth to say something, decides against it and turns away

Takato: hey Henry

Henry: what?

Takato: Terriermon’s cute

Henry: Yeah he is...?

Takato: But so are you

Henry: *implodes*

I don’t know what it is with Digimon and bad flirting leading to dating but here we are

Rika sends Renamon to spy on their dates

Their dates are hella awkward and kinda painful to watch but then they smile at the end and it’s so wholesome?? Like????

Ngl Henry’s my man but I kinda support this ship now

Why do I support literally every ship

So anyway-

---------

A’ight so when will the Frontier asks start coming in I’m kinda thriving

DigiWeek 2022 Day 2: Sports Day (Relationship)

It is common for every shounen anime to put an emphasis on friendship, and Digimon is not exception. Whether it is about the relationship between digimon and their human partners, relationship among digimon, or even relationship among kids. Mostly platonic, but some are romantic. Even the same-sex relationship is important.

For the said relationship, here comes my favorite relationship: Takato and Jian from Digimon Tamers.

For someone wondering why TakaRi if there is common pairing name like Jenkato? As someone who prefers Japanese style in terms of pairing name, this is what the relationship of Takato and Jian is called. Also, it means that Takato is top and Jian is bottom (in Japanese fandom, the pairing name is treated as serious business because it determines the roles of two characters paired in the story).

Okay, trivia aside, I think this relationship is quite unpopular. Compared with when Takato is paired with girls (like Ruki or Juri), his relationship with Jian is somewhat lackluster in fandom. Yet, there are fans of such relationship.

Compared to usual goggle boy and his lonewolf bishounen pairings in Digimon fandom (which mostly have a rocky start and tensions), Takato and Jian are depicted as best friends on the start. Their personalities may be different (Takato’s naivety and Jian’s pacifism yet holding himself back for the sake of being mature), but they are bonded by same interest: Digimon card game. As the story goes on, they are not so different in personalities. Takato becomes accustomed in dealing with rampaging digimon and the consequences aftermath, while Jian must deal with his own emotions while situations go beyond control.

Okay, explanation ends here. Anyway, this relationship needs more love.

DigiOTP Week 2017 - College AU

Day 5 - College AU Pairing - Takato x Henry (Jenrya Lee) from Digimon Tamers 03

Summary:

“Leave or I’ll start really fighting,” said the martial artist, his voice oozing confidence and calm that made Takato breathe easier just by listening.

AO3 Link

I always like the main pairing of the main two guys in the digimon series and alot of people seem to for the adventure series but after that there doesn’t seem to be as much love from tamers onwards (though i have seen one amazing fanfic for these two). I think Henry is just the sweetest character ever and so is Takato so i think they would go well together. I might do a continuation of this one-shot one day :)

what is your absolute favorite ship? How did you start shipping Stevidot? And rant about any ship you feel like, good or bad? :))

… you fool

OH GOD ALL-TIME FAVORITE SHIP YOU SAY. YOU KNOW DAMN WELL I CAN’T CHOOSE ONE.

(it’d probably be Stevidot anyway; objectively I’ve done more for it than anything else I ever shipped in my life and it’s absolutely precious both in platonic and romantic forms)

BUT IN THE INTEREST OF FAIRNESS… and attempt to tone down redundancy, let’s see what other ships earned the “OTP” label from me!

I mean, I pretty much had to lowkey ship Mamoru Chiba x Ami Mizuno because Usagi/Mamoru is basically what Connverse wishes it could be as far as the Ultimate Ship goes. So at the height of my involvement in the fandom (you know, late 90s era), I was never brave enough to make anything for this ship. But the few times they get to interact in the classic anime is legit adorable stuff and I wish we could’ve had more of it. 

Before Gem Ascension, before Travels of the Trifecta, my greatest multichaptered epic was a Digimon Tamers fic called By My Decision. I was a hardcore Digimon fan in my early teen years well before I ever got into Pokemon, in fact. And I shipped shitloads of pairings in Adventure and 02 - I can only imagine how many of those would be demonized by the new age fandom puritans of Tumblr nowadays. You can actually see literally everything I ever shipped on my FFN profile here.

But I didn’t really make anything for the first two seasons. Tamers was what really sparked my inspiration, because Takato and Jenrya… honestly, they’re just adorable together. They get to bond a lot, they’re really in touch with their feelings (contrasting to token girl Ruki who was a stiff hardass most of the time), and I often got the impression that Jenrya, unlike Takato, really doesn’t have any other friends. 

So of course, I tormented these two on the regular in my story. I of course didn’t forget Juri (for I love her dearly); I was kinda trying a love triangle subversion with Takato angsting over loving both Jenrya and Juri… while Juri’s still got so much PTSD (story is 2 years post-series), shipping is hardly on her mind, and Jenrya’s outright in denial of his feelings for Takato to the point where it very literally screws him up and awakens some inner darkness of his own. I even had Jenrya and Juri bond, but it was pretty platonic stuff. 

Still, this ship was way down on the totem pole at the height of Tamers’ fandom. Very frustrating. Takato/Ruki and Jenrya/Ruki were way more popular and I hated both of those ships something fierce. I love Ruki, but I just cringe at the idea of shipping her with either of her fellow leads. Then Jenrya/Ryo got something of a cult following that I couldn’t stand; admittedly I was jealous it was getting the representation that I felt Takato/Jenrya desperately needed more, and I also didn’t like Jenryo in its own right, anyway. 

But yeah. Jenkato is a very underappreciated ship that I loved dearly and invested many of my teenage years into.

So, here’s a fun fact: While I played the classic games (my cousins had a Sega Genesis), the way I was mostly raised on Sonic was via the first two cartoon series and the Archie Comics version of the franchise. Archieverse was largely based on the SatAM cartoon; Amy Rose also didn’t exist in the show and it took about 25 issues for her to show up in the comic. 

So I was big on Tails x Amy. For a long-ass time. And really, the ship was really only feasible in the Archie continuity. There, Tails is actually older than his usual depicted canon age and Amy is introduced to be around his age before she artificially aged herself with a magic ring so that she could later take on her Sonic Adventure design. 

Before that… in these years, Sally was the most well-known love interest of Sonic in the west. So Sonic/Sally seemed like a lock (none of us knowing how Sega felt about that at the time) - and in retrospect I honestly believe it’s a far better Sonic ship than his more well-known modern alternatives. 

So, because of Sally’s prominence, Amy was relegated to Sonic’s fangirl and her crush wasn’t really that big a deal. Honestly, that was for the best, as I by far found Amy way more tolerable in Archie’s incarnation than the majority of her other canon contemporaries (Sonic the Comic Amy Rose is more of a competent badass, though).

Tails and Amy had some good banter in Archieverse and the few times they were allowed time to do stuff together as a duo, they were very cute and endearing and I loved them. 

Tails also had a lot more going on in terms of character development and backstory in Archieverse. Like, a lot more going on. He even had a “Chosen One” deal that sadly didn’t have a very good payoff, but. It’s more than what they really do with Tails in any other continuity.

Bear in mind, I started on these comics when I was eight or nine years old. Yet I followed this comic well into my late teens and even part of my early twenties, so you can tell Archieverse Sonic has shitloads of lore to it to have that long of an ongoing narrative. 

After Sonic Adventure was released, then the Sonamy shipping started to explode. Amy was front-and-center in the spotlight, Sally became the obscure figure in the fandom, and it’s more-or-less stayed that way ever since. 

But I was like “It’s okay! Tails and Amy are still tight in Archieverse! Sucks they have to adjust to Sega’s many changes but they’re still best buddies who’ll hopefully get married one day….” 

Then 25 Years Later happened and for some goddamned stupid-ass reason, Tails was paired with Mina the Mongoose and I believe Amy was suspiciously never ever mentioned in the future timeline stories (as Sonic and Sally did become endgame in this little series). 

Tails and Mina had little to no interaction, and Mina was largely there to be a potential Sonic love interest, and even after she moved on, she got together with another character and still didn’t interact with Tails. 

I was sooooooo pissed off. Archieverse was my one hope for Tails/Amy becoming a thing and they ruined it for me. :(

I did get a consolation prize in Geoffrey St. John x Hershey becoming so canon they actually did marry. That’s another one I shipped ever since they first interacted years and years ago.

Of course, Hershey was then “killed off” - and was set for a major comeback, but Ken Penders put a stop to that and had them both erased from reality because fuck Ken Penders, I actually got a nice thing and you yanked it right out of my hands.

Genis Sage x Mithos Yggdrasill from Tales of Symphonia, a ship I hardcore loved enough to write about. Also a ship I think Tumblr would burn me at the stake for shipping at all, but you know what? Fuck Genis x Presea. It’s a boring-ass puppy love ship that in its own right should be lambasted similarly according to anti logic. 

…. did I get sidetracked? I did? Pfff. Okay, let’s try and get to another question.

How I started shipping Stevidot?

Pretty simple story, really. I binged SU all the way up to Escapism (Change Your Mind hadn’t aired yet) last December/January. Also watched a looooot of Youtube clips. Most involving Peridot.

And inevitably, most involving Steven as well. 

When I started getting into Peridot and SU as a whole enough to seek out fanfiction and whatnot, I didn’t really have any set shipping preferences at first. But when I made myself think about it… honestly, Stevidot just felt the most natural to me. I wanted to see stories about antics with those two specifically - I never liked Lapidot and Amedot did nothing for me ever. So Stevidot was like, pretty much the only thing I really focused on after a while.

Then I found A Gem Like You. And suddenly, INSPIRATION! I developed headcanons for Watcher’s fic, I started reading as much Stevidot as I could, and I was convinced it was the best pairing in the world and fucking hell I need to give it some representation after I noticed how relatively niche it was in the fandom. 

And so, Stevidot consumed my soul for all time. I hope those clods are happy.

Rant about a ship, you say…

Good god, that really does need to be its own post. I have so much to say about various ships in general, I may need a bit to… uh, figure that out. Or throwing out some random ones I’d know about would help my focus, fff.

I know this wasn’t exactly what you asked, but the most common Tamers pairings on AO3 are: Ruki x Takato, Jianliang x Takato, Juri x Takato, Ruki x Renamon, Jianliang x Ruki, Ryō x Ruki, Juri x Ruki, Kenta x Hirokazu, and Reika x Yamaki.

i actually planned to look up at ao3 once i got up this morning, so thanks for letting me know! <3

i only had the chance to look at fanfiction.net last night, and it seems that some people do ship jenrya and juri. at least on ffn, there's more of them compared to ao3; only 2 works used the juri/jenrya relationship tag.

some of them called the ship as leeri (probably to differentiate with jenkato), and most of the fics served the pair as rukato's antithesis... so perhaps if someone ships jenrya and juri without concerning any other pairs, i would love to hear the story of how they ship em.

[uzunotegaki]

Just a simple and fluffy TakaRi fanart.

[uzunotegaki]

Just as simple TakaRi fluff where Takato glomps Jian.

I draw this as the antidote for us after the whole Konaka and his problematic stance fiasco in the recent DigiFes 2021.

[uzunotegaki]

Awkward embrace.

Yeah, such an awkward embrace between Takato and Jian.

[uzunotegaki]

“Do you really want to do this, Takato?” “M-mmm...”

Takato and Jian, before continuing to the next stage.

[uzunotegaki]

TakaRi (Takato/Jian) + Kabedon.

Interesting combination, seriously.

PS: Jian is the uke/bottom in my mind.
