@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.

Poor Jou does not know how to begin to explain the situation he is in.

The return of the biggest little shit! /affectionate. I know a lot of it is flashback as we catch up on each of the children, but he's working overtime. Good for him.

->Restaurant patrons and staff speak Japanese. ->A handful of the dishes shown appear to also be Japanese ->Only accepts US$.

I don't blame you, Jou. I would be pissed.

You were the one who threw it.

I was serious when I mentioned indentured servitude in my last rewatch post. Anytime I hear paying off a debt that just keeps growing and growing and theoretically you should be protected under the law (no idea what the legalities in the Digital World are. Digitamamon seems to be one of the few capitalistic businesses around), but you're treated like shit, it's the first thing I think of. It is a bit of a stretch, normal indentured servitude is for years. I don't doubt that they would have kept Jou and Yamato there until they were adults.

Oh, that's another thing, child labor.

(I'm also several years post-graduation on classes with this stuff so take my word with caution.)

They are both trying so hard to be considerate. The value of talking to your friends and being honest aahhh...

One screencap does not do well to show how much the poor lad is shaking. I really admire Jou for how he handles his anxiety despite how much shit it gives him. Guy is prepared to go through med school... THEY WILL EAT YOU ALIVE PRECIOUS BEAN! (this is nothing against thinking he can't do it. It's that med school and field can be hell, as conveyed to me by others in my life) He makes a fantastic doctor.

Sora, please, please talk to your friends. They'll love to hear you are all right. Or were even here at all.

You would really have to hate a coworker to mess up so badly to increase the amount of abuse you receive. That is counterproductive. There are better ways to get out of something or convey the message of screw you to the boss without impacting people you work with who you actually like.

Yamato is a way too close to panicking and worry to recognize this though. Oh, and a child, who shouldn't be working at all at this age or knows how this stuff works.

Little brother interrupts break at work: Day immediately 1000x better.

I would not put money on that. You are much too reckless and stubborn.

The dead eyes of evil management.

This is why it's good to have faith in your friends. 👏

Two angry furry boys.

Love how bristling Ikkakumon looks. Put his partner down!!

ALL HAIL THE POWER OF FRIENDSHIP!

Two angry furry boys, except one of them is bipedal now.

Speak for yourself, if he's desperate enough and thinks it is the most productive option, Jou will do anything ❤️.

👏 True 👏 friends 👏 talk 👏 about 👏 their 👏 feelings 👏

"And I would've gotten away with it too, if it weren't for those meddling kids!"

🤝❤️

I focused a lot on shit work conditions for this, but I do really like this episode for both Yamato and Jou. They're good kids. Should lay off employment for a bit though xD. Saving the world is enough stress.

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.

[firedragon1321]

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.)

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.

@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.
