#Takeru Week

Takeru Week 2022 - Day 6: Sunshine/Happiness

Days: [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] Title: Roleplaying Characters: Takeru Takaishi, Kimi Takaishi (OC), Kenichi Takaishi (OC), Aiko Takenouchi Ishida (OC) and Mimi Tachikawa. Summary: Takeru and Kimi decide to do a roleplay to entertain the Chosen Children's kids. Takeru carefully closed the door from his son’s bedroom and went to the living room, where Kimi was lying on the couch watching TV. “How many stories tonight?” She asked with a smile while he sat down and she placed her legs over his. “Three. There weren’t so many this time.” “He must be tired from the day.” “Most likely.” He looked at his wife. “So I’ve been thinking lately.” “About what?” Kimi sat up straight and crossed her legs. “About starting a reading group.” He followed her suit and they exchanged glances. “I’ve been telling you this for a long time and now you finally decided to do it.” “Yeah, I deserved that.” “What happened?” “Reading to Kenichi for so many nights in row made me realize how much I missed doing this.” “Did something specific happen?” “No, nothing specific.” “Not even a certain story?” “What is this? An inquiry?” “I was just wondering if maybe there was a fairy tale you had to read for our son tonight. Say, maybe Cinderella?” “What?” Takeru raised his eyebrows at her. “How do you even know about that?” “Well…” “Wait a second. You set this up!” “I have no idea what you’re talking about.” “Sure you do.” He pressed on. “You told Kenichi to ask me to read Cinderella for him, because you remembered it was the story I read when you watched our group reading session for the first time.” “Do you really think I’d be that sneaky?” “You want me to be honest or not?” “Okay, I got your point. I asked him that indeed.” She put her hair behind her ear. “I hope you’re not angry at me for doing this and what I did was probably selfish, but I just think this is something you were born to do. It’s clear how much you enjoy it, and you shouldn’t turn away from it. There, I said it.” “Alright.” “I’m sorry if I was too honest with you, but I had to be.” “It’s okay.” “Are you gonna keep giving me these short responses or are we actually going to talk about how you’re feeling?” Takeru sighed and finally looked back at Kimi. “I’m not sure how I feel about this.” “Well, you can start by saying why this is something you reject so much. It’s very clear to me you’re having an internal conflict about it, because I can tell you want to do it. So why hold back?” “Group reading won’t pay our bills, will it?” “So that’s what this is about.” She leaned against the side support of the couch. “Money.” He didn’t say anything, simply bit his lower lip, and she went on. She leaned towards him and held his hand within hers. “No one said you should live by this. Of course group reading isn’t paying our bills, it’s supposed to be a hobby. More so, it’s a way to bring you and our son close, as well as you and the rest of the Chosen Children’s kids.” “Hmm… when you put it like that…” “You’ll get to be the cool uncle.” “Cooler, you mean? Because I’m already the cool one.” “Tone down your ego, Mr. Writer.” Kimi teased with a smile. “Fine.” Takeru rolled his eyes, pretending to be annoyed. “Will you help me deciding what story to tell them?” “Does that mean you’re doing it?” “I guess it wouldn’t hurt to try.” “Great. Of course I will help you.” She threw her legs down and stood up. “Do you want to do it now?” “No, we can wait a few days. We still haven’t set a date yet.” He followed her suit and walked to her, running his hand over her arms. “I was thinking we could so something else tonight. Something cooler, something more exciting.” “Takeru, Kenichi is sleeping next door.” “I didn’t mean that.” He leaned closer to her and started kissing her neck, causing her to moan softly. “Of course you didn’t.” She wrapped her arms around his back and closed her eyes, enjoying their moment alone together.

Takeru Week 2024 Interest Check

[lavendorii]

Third meeting

[seventeenlovesthree]

@takariweek Day 7 - Seventh Beginning

I'm super late to the party, but I really do like the idea of these two in particular being stuck in a time loop and somewhat aware of the fact that their fate - as Light and Hope in a group of Eight - always repeats itself. Over and over again. But at least they will always find each other.

[ashxketchum]

Now it feels like we’re celebrating the 25th Anniversary 😍

This new art for an upcoming collaboration with Karatez is just simply stunning. The theme is (very obviously) “idol” and I personally love the futuristic pop concept they’ve added to the outfits. Although exact date and merch details haven’t been shared yet, they shared a few layouts of the key art.

The outfits are also great this time around because of their little references to the partner Digimon’s Perfect evolutions. Listing them down one by one as always.

Taichi: The blue markings on his jacket plus robotic arm markings on his right sleeve are a nice shoutout to MetalGreymon.

Yamato: We see WereGarurumon’s pattern on his jacket and a few belts wrapped around his hands that captures the punk-grunge vibe of WereGarurumon well. It may be Yamato’s affinity to music, but he looks extremely in his element in this art, it’s not often we see him so raring to go in official merch art (he’s more of a soft smiles guy usually).

Sora: Her gloves and the red bandana on her arm coupled with the feather in her hair are clear shoutouts to Garudamon. It’s kinda funny to me that being the girl who’s crest is a heart symbol, she’s making a victory sign while Mimi and Hikari are both making different types of finger hearts 😆

Koushiro: Honestly they were really subtle with the reference for him and even twitter couldn’t exactly answer my doubts so I’m gonna have to see Koushiro stans step up and answer whether the reference in his outfit limited to the markings on his jacket resembling AtlurKabuterimon’s chest?

Mimi: I think she’s the one with the most easy to catch references, her skirt resembles Lilymon’s and her hair tie looks like Lilymon’s flower canon. I love that she’s making the big finger heart because it’s just so very Mimi. If Yamato suits the passionate side of being an idol, Mimi is definitely meant for the cutesy visual vibe that can make fans go crazy over just a wink and a smile.

Jou: He’s wearing three belt like bracelets around one wrist like Zudomon which makes his a minimal reference though not as subtle as Koushiro’s. I do feel that they could’ve done a bit more with his look, maybe add a horn to the side of his headset? I also can’t wait to see the full art for each kid individually cuz I do think him and Yamato are wearing similar bellbottom pants!

Takeru: The feather on his headset and the yellow suspended straps are a decent reference to HolyAngemon. Considering that they wanted to keep the outfits limited to one colour per kid, I think this is the best way they could slip in the reference, though I wouldn’t have minded a few rings.

Hikari: The feather on the headset, the corset-ish belt around her waist and her gloves are very nice references to Angewomon. Keeping Hikari’s innocence as a kid intact while referencing a Digimon that is undoubtedly considered one of the most sexiest mons in the franchise would have been really tough and I salute the illustrators for coming up with this design! I also like the OG Korean finger heart she’s making, such a cute look on her.

The cherry on top are each of the Digimon partners holding supportive cheering goods for their kids. Piyomon’s love for Sora goes hard with her big name banner. Meanwhile, Agumon and Palmon kept it simple with haoris, Tailmon and Patamon too decided to go the simple route with light sticks. Gabumon, Gomamon and Tentomon seem normal from afar with their hand fans but when you get a closer look on all the hearts around Koushiro’s name on Tentomon’s fan, you know the three spent time making those themselves.

All in all, a pretty amazing illustration to be able to get merch of!

But wait that’s not all, andGallery has also teased a future cafe collaboration with Digimon Adventure on their twitter, more info will be announced on 19th Feb but they did share a preview of what to expect.

Takari Week 2024 - Day 1: First Summer

Dias: [ 1 ] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7]

Title: Mnemosyne [Prologue I] (First Summer)

Characters: Takeru Takaishi

Summary: The world performs in mysterious and strange ways. He didn't even understand the meaning of destiny at that time, but in the subsequent years he was grateful for every force in the universe that had made them reach that place together. Right when they needed each other the most.

Note: A collection of stories that gives us an insight into Takeru and Hikari's relationship over the years. It was really hard to put all the prompts explicitly in the story, so I tried to metaphorize some of them, in order for them to make sense at the end.

It is composed of two prologues, one for Takeru and one for Hikari, exposing events before 1999. And a final epilogue, summarizing all the feelings exposed in the previous chapters. In the intermediate chapters, we follow all the challenges that a long-term friendship has to face when it becomes a romantic relationship, and how we form solid and permanent bonds with the ones we love the most.

・。。・゜゜・。。・

His little hand gripped the pencil tightly. He didn't know what to write. In front of him, a piece of paper with the word family written in computer letter on top. And nothing more.

He couldn't think of anything good enough to write. His restless legs gently tapped the floor, again and again, impatiently.

In his poor understanding of his own emotions, he felt frustrated. Confused to say the least. Maybe a little scared even.

He just wanted to get away from there.

Not exactly going home, because home felt a little bit empty now. He didn't want to be alone, either. He felt alone most of the time lately. Even though he had friends at school, he knew they didn't understand what he was going through. And didn't want to talk about it. Despite all his mother's efforts to play it normally, he knew that even for her, it was a complicated situation to live with and to adapt. Everything was different, and there were no expectations of change.

"Why don't you write something about your mom or dad? "

Said the boy seated next to him, noticing the blank page in front of Takeru. "They are your family, aren't they?"

"I never saw your father, Takeru, is he alive?" 

Asked the girl who was sitting in the desk right behind him, trying to have a glimpse of his schoolwork. That statement was something that came naturally, unconsciously, that little girl did not think about what she said.

"Ah..."

His voice sounded insecure and lower than usual. He tightened his grip on the pencil even more. His little feet began to circle under the table.

"He just... doesn't live in the same... house, as me and my mom..."

"Is it just you and your mom?" Continued the girl. "That must be fell... lonely."

"Sometimes...But I know my mom loves me."

"Write that then!"

He couldn't.

He couldn't write that he felt alone in a text about his family that his mother could eventually read. The teacher would be uneased. And she would question him about that. And he didn't want to talk about it.

"I am writing about my brother and my sister!" The boy broke the brief silence that came upon them. "They are my heroes!"

The boy's tone of voice created a certain envy within Takeru's heart.

Yamato.

He missed his brother. They hadn't spoken in a few days, and he was afraid to ask to call again. He didn't want to be annoying or bother anyone. But what if Yamato forgets about him?

"It must be horrible to be an only child, right?"

He didn't know. Because he was not, an only child. But somehow, it felt horrible that it seemed like it for other people. Almost embarrassing.

What kind of siblings live apart?

And why couldn't he have a normal family?

Why did his parents have to hate each other?

He felt his head start spinning.

Slowly, placed the pencil on the table and raised his hand. His heart was beating hard, he felt like it would burst at any moment. He held back his tears until the teacher finally noticed his presence.

"Is everything ok, Takeru?"

"I just... need to go to the bathroom!"

"Oh... ok. "The teacher seemed surprised at first but then smiled. "You can go, but don't take too long!"

"Thank you..."

He left the classroom in complete silence, while he heard his classmates' pencils tapping on the table, and small, almost inaudible conversations going on in the back of the class. Were they talking about him? It didn't matter, he just wanted to get out of there for a few moments.

He walked to the end of the hallway and went down the stairs. The bathrooms were on the first floor, and he had classes on the second.

He started running when he reached the first floor straight to the bathrooms, noticing that no one was aroud.

Entering, Takeru closed the door softly so no one could hear him. He then sat in one humid and cold corner and hugged his legs. Lowered his head and rested it on his knees. Sighed. He could cry without anyone seeing him.

Taichi Yagami Week day 4: Taichi & Takeru @taichiyagamiweek

In this au, Takeru helped Yamato settle taichi down and told him not to move. He cried and was scared of how hurt Taichi was and worried until Sora yelled some sense into him. Takchi just wanted to be strong for takeru so he didn’t get scared. Taichi remembers takeru telling him to have faith in them. That they’re there and will help to win against Piemon. He was one of the first to get sealed away and Taichi is certain Yamato hates him because he can’t forgive himself either.

Takeru Week 2022 - Day 3: Childhood and Growth

Days: [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] Title: Morning In The Park Characters: Takeru Takaishi, Natsuko Takaishi, Yamato Ishida, Hikari Yagami and Patamon. Summary: Takeru in three different moments of his life. “Daddy! Yamato!” Takeru screamed and tried to reach them, but they kept on walking away from him. “No!” “Takeru! Takeru!” A gentle voice called his name and he slowly opened his eyes. “Huh?” He sat down and noticed he was sitting on his bed, in the dark. He took a few deep breaths to ease his breathing pace. “Were you dreaming about them?” Natsuko asked softly and sat him on her lap. “I miss them, mommy.” His eyes got teary. “Won’t they come back anymore?” “I’m sorry, sweetie.” She felt a lump on her throat and bit her lower lip not to cry. “They won’t.” “Are me and Yamato bad children?” “What are you talking about, Takeru? You aren’t bad children at all. You are amazing ones.” “Then why can’t we be together again?” “It’s complicated, son.” Natsuko tried her best not to look at his sad blue eyes. “It didn’t have anything to do with you and Yamato, I promise. It’s about me and your father.” “You don’t love him?” “I should have known you’d ask me about this.” A very subtly smile appeared on her lips and disappeared very fast. “Of course I love your father.” “Then why can’t he stay here?” “It’s complicated, Takeru. I’ll tell you when you grow up and is old enough to understand.” “I already am.” He protested and wiped the tears from his eyes to prove his point. “You’re three years old.” She couldn’t help but giggle a little. “Are you feeling better now?” Takeru looked at her and nodded. Natsuko then placed him back on his car-shaped bed and covered him with his blankets. “Great, so try to go back to sleep. Mommy needs to wake up early to work and you have to go to the nursery school.” She leaned over and kissed his forehead. “Good night, Takeru.” “Mommy.” “What is it, darling?” She looked at him over her shoulder and saw he was looking back at her. “I’m scared, I can’t sleep. Can you tell me a story?” “Takeru, mommy needs to wake up in two hours and needs to sleep.” “Please, mommy.” He begged. “I can’t today, I’m sorry.” She turned on the faint yellow light from the lamp a little more. “Is it better now?” “I don’t want to sleep here tonight, mommy.” “Then where are you going to sleep?” “With you.” He grinned the way he knew always won her over. “Alright.” Natsuko walked to him and picked him up. “Just for tonight.” “Thanks.” He hugged her tight. “I love you, mommy.” She couldn’t help but smile listening to what he had just said. “I love you too, Takeru. Do you want to take Mr. Fluffy with you?” “Yes.” He stretched his little arms when she brought it towards him and hugged him tight. Natsuko turned off the lamp light and closed the door from his bedroom, heading to her own one.

I almost totally forgot @taichiyagamiweek yesterday because I was editing a novella draft. So I'll just loop back to TK today since I already did Mimi. It seems like the second to last day is tomorrow so I am still on track.

Not much to say for TK that doesn't involve Matt as a third wheel. Many of Tai and TK's interactions have the background goal of helping Matt stop being overprotective. This is through making TK more independent and less afraid. But TK's growth in this regard involves the whole group (especially Sora).

At times, Tai can function as a substitute Matt. Like in Forget About It, where Matt was not present, Tokomon was weak, and someone had to help TK with DemiDevimon. The main difference is Tai allows TK to participate as an equal, rather than smothering him out of worry.

I think Cherrymon making Tai Matt's "rival" cements Tai as the only person doing this. But as mentioned before, it takes a village to raise a child. Matt eventually accepts he and Tai are both part of that village.

Outside of this, Tai and TK are another pairing with only one actual episode worth of interaction in Adventure. Actually, Princess Karaoke is part of the same collection as Forget About It- when the group is splintered thanks to Tai's absence. It cements how important his role as leader is to everyone.

(Also, writing these metas makes me realize what a vital part of the group was removed over the years with Sora. Might do a long rant on her separately after Taichi Week.)

Sixth ending

@taichiyagamiweek Day 4, July 10th 2024: Taichi & Takeru

Taichi and Takeru are sharing, quite literally, a brotherly connection with one another: Taichi, who is famous for taking the younger ones under his wing, doesn't pamper but instead encourages Takeru by giving him responsible tasks, such as taking care of Hikari. Takeru on the other hand greatly looks up to Taichi, wants to impress him - and actually doesn't shy away from letting him know that he sees him as a brotherly figure. They're undeniably caring for each other, having fun and being dorky together and even though they may not remain as visibly close years after their adventures in the Digital World, an underlying sense of fondness between them still persists - and Takeru may still figuratively look up to Taichi, even though it's likely that he has sliiiiightly surpassed him in height as an adult.
