EDIT: CRISIS AVERTED, THANK YOU!
Interracial US family w/ disabled autistic dad and toddler needs to get to the US for medical treatment
(New post because the old one was getting LONG with the updates. Details are under the "read more" to save your dash, with updates in the notes.)
TL;DR: If I'm going to live long enough to watch our daughter grow up, we need to get back to the US and get set up in a disability-friendly place where I can use my medical benefits.
Although I was already disabled (autism, adhd, and spine, joint, and head injuries), my health was stable--until four bouts of COVID left me immunocompromised, and utterly destroyed my health (including damage to my heart, blood clots that damaged one eye, neurological and joint issues, etc.), and although we started off fine, we've been hammered with one crisis after another, both medical and financial, that no one could have predicted.
Until we have enough to get back to the US, a chunk of whatever comes in has to go towards medical care that can't be put off, so the sooner we can reach critical mass on that, the better.
If you can help, or reblog, or share the links on other platforms, we'd be grateful!
The "Donate to Little or None" Paypal donation link takes the lowest fees, I think. (Kept the same link from when we were fighting to get our daughter's birth certificate fixed so we could get her citizenship affirmed.)
Then there's Ko-Fi:
And my little sister started a GoFundMe for us!
EDIT: The donation links above still work, but I removed the GoFundMe link.
IF YOU WANT ALL THE DETAILS SEE THE "READ MORE."
(There's more in my "rob gets medical" tag if you want a blow by blow account of how we got to this point over the past few years, but this is the gist.)
HOW IT STARTED:
I moved to the Philippines six years ago, after the deaths of my adult sons, in part to make my disability payments stretch further. Shortly afterwards, I was joined by my now-wife @thesurestthing (also from the US) for what was supposed to be a visit, but which turned into a permanent arrangement.
After I got a contract to license an old story for a mobile game (which tripled our income*), we found out we were having a baby, which was fine, because despite my disabilities (autism, adhd, two spine injuries, traumatic brain injury, a herniated esophagus, joint issues, etc.), my health was stable, and thanks to the contract, we were fine financially as well.
HOW IT STARTED GOING DOWNHILL:
Zoey's pregnancy was complicated, requiring two hospitalizations, and our daughter's birth was complicated, too--requiring a C-Section--which tripled our hospital bill. A few weeks after our daughter was born, the aforementioned contract was canceled without warning. THEN, when we tried to register our daughter's birth with the US embassy, we discovered an error on her birth certificate that left her stateless, and which took nearly two years, all our savings, and a fundraiser (thank you, generous people!) to resolve. Combined with medical expenses, that left us in a lot of debt.
A brief summary of went else wrong (leaving a lot out for brevity's sake):
I got COVID three four times during all this, became immunocompromised, and developed a slew of other medical issues (heart damage, eye damage and temporary facial paralysis from blood clots, persistent infections, a worsening of my joint issues, neurological issues, etc.) as a result of Long Covid.
I've had to be hospitalized a couple of times, undergo surgery, and was on an oxygen machine twice--once for an entire month, while I was bedridden. As of 24 January, 2024, I'm still recovering from my fourth bout of covid, which started at the beginning of October 2023.
There's a lot more, but you get the idea. COVID has completely wrecked my health, including tearing up my immune system.
And yes, I'm as fully vaxxed against COVID as one can be in the Philippines, with all available boosters, but again--I'm immunocompromised, plus they don't have the vax for the newest variant here yet. Zoey is vaxxed, also, and as a result, her bout with covid was extremely mild. El isn't vaxxed yet because they won't give the covid vaccine to kids under five here, but she's been able to share Zoey's antibodies from breast-feeding--which is apparently a thing.
The only way we can see for me to stay alive long enough to watch Eleanor grow up is to get back to where I can use my Medicare and VA benefits**.
WHY SO MUCH MONEY?
First, while we're still here, we need to pay for whatever medical care can't be put off. Plus, since I'm now immunocompromised, we have to get LOTS of vaccinations before we have to spend 24 hours or so in crowded planes and airports.
Second, we're going to be arriving with only what we can carry with us on the plane, and we'll need to get into a place near a VA hospital that I can easily get around in while I'm recovering from surgeries and getting various treatments. We'll need to pick up some secondhand household goods, and some kind of used transportation (because, you know, it's the US, where you kind of need a vehicle to get around).
We'll also need enough on top of my and El's disability payments to get by for a couple of months while Zoey looks for work. And all this is while we're still paying off the debt from the stuff I mentioned above.
So we're figuring that unless we catch some very lucky breaks, it'll probably cost between 20K and 36K altogether.
(We can't simply stay with friends when we get back, because literally every single close friend we have in the US with extra room and who lives close to a VA hospital has cats--to which I have a severe anaphylactic reaction. As in my entire respiratory system shuts down, and I have to be rushed to the ER to keep from dying; this has happened more than once. The only way I can be around cats is if I'm on immunosuppressants, and my immune system is ALREADY compromised, so I CAN'T do that.)
So again, if you can kick in, or reblog, or post our crowdfunding links (or the link to this post) on whatever other platforms you use, we'd appreciate it.
(*When I told social security about it, they said I could keep getting disability, too, because licensing IP rights didn't count as work income, and since it was a Moldavian company, it also fell under a special tax clause for getting paid by a foreign company while living overseas, so no taxes on it, either. )
(**VA benefits--I was a cold warrior in 1980s Germany. It was less than forty years after WWII, there was a lot of sabre-rattling--some of it nuclear--and we were there as a deterrent to prevent in Germany the kind of thing that's happening in Ukraine right now. Disclaimer because I'm tired of people accusing me of "invading" folks in the early 1980s when I was a dumb, heavily propagandized pre-Internet kid fixing generators in Europe. I wouldn't join today even if I could.)

If you want to follow her original story, Lillian has her own tag, though I'm adapting her a bit in a new playthrough~ Some of the notable changes being wearing actual armor and using shotguns, as well as going with an Independent Vegas ending instead of Mr. House~ Also, she is not going to be a fan of the BoS and probably just ignore them entirely, if your OC is BoS she will be distrustful at first~
Third, if you just want to platonically ship or ask about her meeting your OC, be my guest. And, if I turn down an OC request or don't respond, don't take it as a slight against you or your OC. If anyone decides to harass me over this the block button is right there. SFW Info~
Lillian is a 21 cis woman who's Polyamorous and Bi
Autistic, ADHD, Special Interests: Robotics, Cowboys, Old World Science Fiction
Flusters easily if flirted with~
Absolute disaster in the kitchen, thankfully she keeps a Mr. Handy around~
Terrible at just listening, she wants to fix your problems so bad. She's learning though.
Skeptical of anything not explained by science, but respectful of those who do believe.
Her robots are her babies and destroying one is, well, unwise~
NSFW Info
A complete Submissive in the bedroom~
Doesn't care if she's giving or receiving just wants to not be in charge~
Rope Bunny, she'll help you create new restraints if you ask~
Finds it hard to initiate, but once initiated she can become overexcited easily~
Hard Limits are bodily fluids/substances (except sexual fluids and saliva), ageplay, Daddy/Mommy titles for doms.
Claims to be a Brat, really just wants to give the Dom an excuse to restrain her thoroughly/to be rough~
Cuddler during Aftercare, always makes sure the Dom knows just how much fun she had~ If she ever hears someone say Doms don't need Aftercare she WILL go apeshit on them.

When you know they probably think you’re annoying and stupid but you keep talking out of spite
Real talk hate it how people start talking down to me the second they find out im 16 (17 in a month) like ohhhh you poor baby child like no. I feel like I’ve lived 50 years. I’ve seen too much. Sure I may not be the smartest but I’m so much more emotionally mature than most adults I know. After all the bullshit, I think I deserve to let my inner child out once in a while, because I was never allowed to act like one when I was one. Because obviously the second I turn 18 I’m going to have my life figured out and I’ll act like an adult and I’ll be sooooo much more superior to the stupid kids who know nothing 🙄 fuck sake I’m sick of people underestimating my mental capacity because I’m an autistic teen, and then freak out when I know what sex is. As if I don’t think about it daily.
This goes for real life too. Because I’m autistic (and my shortness isn’t helping) people feel the need to baby me. And to that I say “Eat my entire asshole”.
I’m not some innocent little kid. I know about the dangers. But I’m smart enough to be aware of myself and the situation so I know how to get around it. Of course if you’re a teen who’s not ok with those things, it’s valid. But let me have my own experiences and express myself.
Also I’m not scared of adults. I know all the tricks of groomers and creeps and I’m not dumb enough to fall for one again. (Of course he was from IsNotReal)
Fuck sake. I need a smoke and a rub.

differences and parallels between riju and sidon
no-themes-just-memes Do you have any headcanons for Yunobo and Sidon? I...
legally you have to get started on Riju and Sidon now
@no-themes-just-memes i am actively going to come into your house and kill you in your sleep for making me write this
(note: this got really long so there’s a tl;dr at the bottom)
- they’re both Babies. (listen) riju is a child, maybe about twelve or thirteen, and awfully young to be a leader. sidon is an adult, albeit a young one (in my mind he’s like the zora equivalent of early twenties), but he’s been in this position since he was very young. - they were both tragically small when their family died - sidon seemed very young in that flashback scene
and i don’t think it would have been more than a year or so after that that mipha actually died. it’s not clear when riju’s mother passed (either that or i just can’t find it), but given that she states: “Patricia was a present from the former...from my mother. She turned out to be my first and last gift from her...” as well as the fact that she seems fairly used to ruling, i’d say it’s probably been a few years since her mother died. this isn’t canon, but i’d say she was maybe 8 or 9.
- they’re both in positions of power they wouldn’t have been in so soon had their family not died. riju would have eventually been chief, yes, but she should have had decades to prepare. instead, the burden was forced upon her before she even hit her teens, and she was robbed of her childhood. sidon would always have been prince, but it’s likely more of the duties would have fallen to mipha. with her passing, he’s next in line to be king, while if she’d been alive he would have remained prince and mipha would have been queen, or maybe they would have ruled jointly. and frankly she’s better suited to it (honestly, can you imagine this adhd fucker sitting on a throne all day? i’m not entirely convinced he’d be happy in that position...)
- they both have kind parental figures, though their relationships with them are very different. riju has buliara, a very capable guard who never leaves her side and is essentially her mother figure (i may or may not have a headcanon that buliara and riju’s mother were involved). she’s very (one might even say overly) defensive of her charge, and clearly cares about her a great deal.
sidon on the other hand luckily still has his father, and everyone knows dorephan is Best Dad. they’re clearly close, and dorephan frequently congratulates him and tells him he’s proud of him.
i think that’s one of the main differences in their situations - sidon has a lot on his shoulders, but he has his father to support and guide him, and as dorephan is still king, sidon isn’t solely responsible for the entire domain. riju, although she has a guard who cares for her, protects her, and likely advises her on political matters and the like, she still has to rule alone, and doesn’t seem to have any other kind of family.
- they both mask. this is of course a reflection of their respective cultures - the gerudo on a whole are a fairly serious, stoic people, whereas the zora, especially the younger ones, are generally quite cheerful and playful - but riju and sidon both take it to extremes, and when alone (or when they think they’re alone) they let their guards slip, riju being excitable and childish
and sidon being quiet and vulnerable.
- they both feel lost. in her diary (fun fact - riju’s first name is makeela) riju talks about her fears that she isn’t as good a chief as her mother (in part because she’s so young) she also says “No one says a word about my leadership... But they must be thinking about how powerless their chief has proven to be” . i’m pretty sure her fears are unfounded, given everyone in town seems to have good things to say about her.
however, after vah naboris, she says she’s much happier: “Now I look forward to each and every day.” we stan an emotionally healthy pre-teen
sidon, unfortunately, doesn’t have a diary to sneakily read from, but the conversation with mipha is enough evidence for me that he feels lost. where riju brightens up after vah naboris is reclaimed, the conversation with sidon and link only happens after vah ruta, so the domain being saved has done little to help.
given that he still seeks out her advice, even after so many years, and given that he stands by her statue every night i expect he feels this way quite a lot of the time. it wouldn’t surprise me if his feelings weren’t at least a little bit due to the elders - where riju it seems is supported by everyone, i’m not convinced the same can be said for sidon. while the younger generation like and support him (or, you know, openly want to bone him (sidon my very asexual friend i am so sorry)), it seems like the he and the elders do not see eye to eye, and likely about more than just their xenophobia towards hylians. part of this is probably because sidon frankly has considerably less of a grasp on how to be a Proper Royal than riju does despite the training he must have had, with one zora going so far as to say “there are those among the elders who do not comprehend why he behaves as he does” which honestly, big autistic mood
- they both talk to their lost family at night. we ALL know sidon does as i said above, but RIJU DOES THAT TOO with her mother, and with. considerably less Secret Depression energy.
- they’re both incredibly brave (and also maybe a bit reckless). not only does riju give you protection as you both weave inbetween huge monster feet
she also went to investigate on her own before that, until she was “driven back by a sandstorm and lightning” and was found by buliara, after riju had presumably passed out in the desert. riju this is why buliara won’t leave your side anymore
and of course, sidon calms vah ruta with the help of a random twink he just picked up that’s uh, wielding shock arrows that are potentially lethal to him. my favourite though is the octorok story, which i’m sure most of the fandom knows, in which he decided to go all the way to hateno to defend the fishermen from a giant monster. i love him.
tl;dr:
- both very brave and kindhearted people - both grieving a family member they lost tragically young - both mask how they feel and to an extent who they are for the sake of their people - both get embarrassed when link discovers them dropping said mask - both feel lost and look to their deceased family member for guidance, to no avail - both exceptionally fashionable i mean have you SEEN their jewellery...
thoughts:
i think sidon and riju would get along really well tbh. sidon would have a lot of respect for her, and be able to sympathise with her, and would happily offer her advice, since he’s been a similar position for quite a few years longer than she has. i expect he’d encourage her to actually have some fun once in a while.
and riju i think would be grateful for someone to talk to, someone who supports her both as chief and as herself, someone who acknowledges her power and capability as a great leader and also recognises that she is still just a child. i think she’d feel comfortable talking to him about her mother and she might even convince him to open up a bit. if we’re lucky she might even convince him to GO TO BED PLEASE I AM BEGGING YOU THIS CANNOT BE HEALTHY
#no-themes-just-memes#the legend of zelda#breath of the wild#sidon#riju#you can draw similar parallels between link and zelda as well#zelda and riju#and link and sidon#in particular have a lot in common#not only in what happened to them but to an extent in how they deal with it#with zelda and riju being more stoic and collected and 'proper royals'#while link (post-calamity) and sidon kind of resist the trappings of their positions to an extent and are more outgoing#and don't behave the way they're 'supposed to'#but also lbr that's because they're adhd solidarity#hate that this post is at least 40% 'by the way did you know sidon has dysthymia'#do NOT make me write a post on that i swear to god#this is literally longer than the fanfic i'm working on rn#this better not have any typos or missing bits i stg#kokiri chatter

alright so I know absolutely nobody followed me for book reviews but there’s one I want to talk about called Convenience Store Woman. it’s a japanese fiction novella translated to english about a woman who’s ‘different’ from everyone else and only finds normality in working at a convenience store, which she stays at for 18 years
obviously theres cultural context that i’m missing as a westerner. proper reviewers talk about the pressure of homogenization in japan, for example-- fit in or be expelled from the group. and feel free to correct me if i’m wrong, but i feel like being on the autism spectrum gives me a perspective that i haven’t seen discussed
essentially, the main character, keiko, has always thought and acted differently and everyone wants to ‘cure’ her. she’s disconnected from her emotions and has a lot of trouble empathizing. when other students are crying about a dead bird, she thinks about how she could cook it and turn it into yakitori for her father.
keiko also has extreme logical thinking on how to get from point A to point B; for example, as a child, she’s told to stop a schoolyard fight between two boys, which she does by whacking one of them over the head with a shovel. she’s confused why people are upset about that. a big recurring theme in the book is that everyone makes assumptions to why she acts this way and try to ‘fix’ her without actually asking her why she acts this way, or what she wants.
a poignant line is that her own sister would rather see keiko normal and unhappy rather than abnormal and happy.
keiko learns how to mimic others’ behavior to fit in as ‘normal’ and then she gets a job at a convenience store. they give her a manual on how to act, what to say, what to wear, and she feels like it’s the only manual that she’s ever received on how to be normal. she feels like everyone else has an implicit manual on how to be normal that she was not born with. keiko feels content and safe shedding her identity and becoming just a convenience store worker, and she still thinks of herself as a convenience store worker even during her time off. this attitude later highlighted by a foil character who’s a man that wants to escape homogenization by not working at all
a reviewer mentioned that they viewed keiko as ‘psychopathic’ for not only consistently lying about who she is (by copying others’ speech patterns and personality traits), but also still having underlying violent tendencies. in one scene, when keiko is an adult, keiko’s sister is trying to get her baby (keiko’s nephew) to calm down, and keiko looks at a knife that had been used to cut cake and thinks there’s a potential solution to quiet the baby. she doesn’t entertain the thought as if she’s actually going to do it, or that she would enjoy it, it’s just a thought she has. an intrusive thought, if you will
i know i’m approaching this book with my own lens and my own baggage, and obviously not every autistic experience is the same. all i’m saying is that the story didnt strike me as scary or uncomfortable, just the story of an autistic woman who everyone wants to cure for the sake of their own comfort, without regard to how she feels.

i just started reading your blumenthal kids reunionfic and i LOVE IT! Its so good and so full of potential and angst and I LOVE IT!!!💞💞💞 The way you write Eodwulf is soooo good hes such a mess and so gay help him. and Astrid Omg... I cant wait for more of her i checked out some of your posts on here and shes just great??? You've clearly put a lot of thought into them with the child designs and stuff, did you have any major inspo for the two of them like songs or other characters and stuff???
hey tumblr dont…delete part of my answer what the heck
anyway!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH,,, ed ( @tactfulgrimalkin ) is the one doing the actual writing but we plan everything together and i edit and do artwork so he deserves lots of love for the great writing…i dont remember what else i had here before tumblr deleted it so i hope thats the gist of it
eodwulf is a gay disaster of a bastard man and astrid is SO fun and im SO GLAD UR EXCITED TOO BECAUSE WE SURE ARE
anyway you just opened pandora’s box and i’m very sorry for the length of the rest of this answer but here we go prepare for some cursed content necessary to answer that question ( | ) w ( | ) it was a Wild Ride getting these two characters to where they are boy howdy
so the thing is in order to explain how we created these characters i actually have to get into the origins of the fic on the whole because the two are inextricably linked, and also, the origins of this fic are incredibly cursed and you can send all ur hatemail right here go on blast us we’re ready
but we were talking about caleb and how we’re both excited for whenever astrid and eodwulf turn up, and the thought came up for basically the rough skeleton of that scene in chapter 2:
“hey how messed up would it be if instead of them both hunting him down like we’re expecting…one of them comes in with a huge savior complex and sincerely thinks he’s delusional and should still be in the asylum, how MESSED UP would that be”
…and then shortly after that, this happened
thats the cursed part dont say i didnt warn u but listen you know we’re right
also that pic of caduceus didnt exist back then i went back and got this screenshot just to share the curse with you all
ANYWAY
in classic us format we got carried away and eodwulf got slotted into the role of that scene in chapter two and his character was largely developed around that scene, like, what kind of person would still be clinging to caleb after all this time to that degree to make that happen? and what was come up with was an extremely avoidant person clinging to a fantasy version of things wherein they don’t have to fight
(eodwulf was developed into a Person before astrid, i should note at this point, and ed did most of that developing; i took point on astrid later on)
but around this time i went “screw it im gonna do some concept art we’re both in too deep now” so here’s some of that for u guys
started with them all as teens and did a couple sketches as well as one of baby (well. teen. so baby) caleb/bren/we were calling him felix at the time as some of u probably already know
first draft had astrid with longer hair than eodwulf lmao check this out
flipped the hair length on those two which was for the best because at the time we were imagining eodwulf as a bit more mischevious which is another thing that got reversed over time now astrids the prankster and eodwulfs the overworked mom friend because bren takes astrid’s ideas and makes them SO MUCH WORSE but he still looks better with longer hair and then i played around w/ colors for a while and wound up w/ this
voila, the initial kid concepts, to which subtle yet vital changes were made after time. if any of you are curious about if im frustrated that that’s still the best i’ve ever drawn eodwulf’s nose the answer is yes. yes i am.
astrid’s hair is not messy enough, theres not enough freckles, and she does not look ready to fight the entire world for a dare. 0/10.
anyway then i did adult versions which look WAY OFF NOW LMAO
eodwulf with way too much beard, looking far too messy when he ought to look very clean so that he can hide how much of a disaster he actually is, and also a glimpse into the very boring Ice Queen/Heartless Bitch we vaguely had astrid as to start with. even more out of character tho is the earring, astrid as she is today would absolutely never tolerate an earring unless she absolutely had to, girl’s got sensory issues but she didn’t back then. ALSO STILL NOT ENOUGH FRECKLE
anyWHO a while after this it was decided that eodwulf has ADHD, something both the authors have a whole lot of lmao, and that was the point where ed REALLY took off and developing eodwulf went out of control and we both went Well I Guess We’re Gonna Have To Write This At Some Point Now
and with that happening is when developing astrid took more priority i think, because man, at that point in the game she came way too close to that really annoying trope that shows up in fanfic a lot wherein The Girl is A Bitch who is Getting In The Way Of ~*The Yaois*~ and thats like, thats bad. we knew from the outset we were absolutely not setting this up as a love triangle because we both hate those but even w/ her having no romantic relationship to either of the two, like…she was kind of just There and the one who was most loyal to trent (the only thing of her original characterization that really stuck, honestly) and sooo boring????
so like, and i say this honestly, i managed to COMPLETELY FORGET that “reverse sasuke” cursed comment from the beginning of all this and STILL go “well what if we made her more like caleb’s rival that’d be fun”
and that’s how astrid sorta wound up accidentally morphing into the Scrappy Underdog of this anime trio and calling her a naruto analogue is extremely cursed but also not inaccurate tbh
started out with the concept of her popping into bren’s window because she heard they were doing magic and wanted to learn it too and evolved from there; we decided that she was gonna be neurodivergent too but, hilariously, initially that she was “the best at pretending to be neurotypical” (WE COMPLETELY REVERSED THAT AND IT IS FOR THE BETTER. SHE’S SO MUCH MORE FUN NOW) and made her also autistic because it one meant she could be like SAME HAT at bren really hard which’d make her feel more like part of the group instead of just the odd one out, and two because it fits with the whole rivals thing
branching off of that we made her just. INCREDIBLY direct. like. astrid’s thought process is “how can i accomplish what i want accomplished with the smallest number of steps? what are the consequences of doing it this way? do i give a shit? no? im gonna do that.”
(which is why she climbed a tree to get into bren’s attic instead of using the door because that way she just completely skipped having to convince his mom to let her in)
i cant get into it much here because so many spoilers and we’re gonna explore it all, but like, astrid’s backstory turned into this exploration of the intersection of sexism and ableism especially as applied to a medieval-esque society in which the word “autism” doesn’t even EXIST and in which a convenient double standard exists Right There in the form of bren and like,, its gonna be good guys im excited for it
as far as characters tho she does also have just a touch of Vimes from discworld to her, albeit like, she’s lawful evil to his lawful good, but she’s got the same tendency to stick REALLY FIERCELY to the rules that she thinks are important, even when they inconvenience her, even if it’d be so much easier to bend them just this once
and for songs i cannot link like any astrid songs because they all might accidentally give away so much BUT I CAN LINK AN EODWULF SONG
youtube
this one was HUGE for him
uhhhh i think that’s everything i can think of that we can say right now unfortunately so i’ll end this with a comparison to the current teen designs we have now that are being used in the actual fic, even tho im not fond of how bren came out in this picture, but like, for the sake of comparison
lets see how far we’ve come
I N C R E A S E F R E C K L E

Digimon tri: Loss rant aka butthurt
So there are things that bothers me a lot about these Digimon tri movies and this movie, well lets just say its teh drop that tipped the glass. I dont really like rewieving things..but i am very passionate for digimon, so i suppose this will do.
So what is there to say about Digimon tri? or spesifically... loss? hehe loss..more like loss of my intrest in these movies..
TLDR; the movie is long, boring, little action, meiko is shit as always, the conflict with sora, tai and matt doesnt exist, some scenes go nowhere and are more filler then plot, still questions left unanswered, 02 kids are dead and gone and nobody cares at this point, and shitty, limited, boring, bland and dissapoiunting animation.
Anyhow where do i even start? first i suppose i should start off by saying the things i DO like about this movie. I did enjoy seeing tai more in the spotlight, and it was nice seeing tai, matt and sora talk again. And not to mention, digivolutions! Where most of the digis became ultimate! hell yeah! and my boi machinedramon, i always loved that fella. And more digi kaiser?? YES PLS FUEL MY NEEDS FOR FOOTAGE!! and of course, the animation was well done with the fight scenes and the action was really neat! My favorite part of the movie was the last part.
and now, onto the... MANY many problems these movies had, with none other then shitty animation, awkward scenes, bad art styles, scenes that go nowhere, meiko, and FILLER!! clench your asshole because this is going to be a long one...
Ok so we start off the movie strong. This flashback goes well with me because its this old timey wimey film effect, and we get to see the backstory of himekawa and black hair teacher typography mcgee, i forgot his name..anyway thats cool, we get plot! and then cuts to meiko being left out with her dark evil special digital device. GOOD. she has no way to enter now. she should be left out like the shitty written character she is. im glad shes out.. but would i be like this for long?? NOPE, NOT HERE IN DISSAPOINTMENT LAND I WONT!!
So then we get tehse cute bonding scenes, which are just very nice. its good they take their time with these, and boy....do they take their time :))))) the shitty happy music desu comes so abruplty that you just sit back and say “nice here it is.” so the rest of the digimon get along just fine with the kids again, which is nice i guess....except for pyokomon or whatever. For some reason she is the ONLY CONVENIENT one that wont like her. now, im fine with this, because things never happen the same way twice. however, she is THE ONLY ONE, and the others open very fast, so why?? eh whatever wont bother explaining too much about that ;))
so after this kawaii desuka moment, after toei “””””””””””””””animation”””””””””””””””” show us a slideshow of their best drawings of the kids just sitting there, with no movement, we get on with it.
There is one thing i learned in animation class, and that is that YOU NEVER HAVE ONE STILL FRAME in animation, and these movies have a lot of them, and so fucking shittly placed as well. Just sometimes to save time, or just because lazyness, the animators just pan a akward still filler frame. i know things are hard, and horrible in NEY-HON, especially with animation, but for gods sake i cant help but go “animation is hard XDDdDdDD” whenever watching these movies....because sometimes....SOMETIMES.......
anyway so onto the story, “special super powerful” meikoomon appears, crying because she is adult and remembers meiko. why, you ask?? WHY??????? WELL who cares stfu. so she runs away and jumps into a distortion. did she make it? did the digital world provide her with some? will we get answers??
so then, PTaiSD starts doubhting if we can save the special boy cat, and Yamaha has to of course get angry about every single little thing tai does, and walks off in a huff. Was this scene forced like all hell?? is yamiffedo being a bitch for no reason?? Yes. yes he was. at this point, it feels like they just put this here to give matt a reason to be angry because they have nothing left to bitch about to eachother, or yashitto just wont let up. either way, it is so frustrating..but i digress.
we also cut to black haired crocks wearing mcgee again, in and out, of him saying “i cant figure this out” and we get told this 2 times. ... ANYYYWAYYYY then the kids remember their personalities again and tai suggests we do something now, and the digimon digivolved. HURRAH!”
byomon is still not trusting sora, which is fine i guess bonds take time, and they did take their time, which was fine. so they keep cutting to this trolly, the one they slept in in digimon adventure. HEY GUYS, REMEMBER THE TROLLY???? REMEMBER DIGIMON 01?? WASNT THAT SERIES COOL???
special OP baby cat meikomon just sits and laments because she cant find meiko, so she gets all infected and fucks up everything again, making the reboot for NUFFIN if she keeps this up. BUTT WAIT, why does she still have this infection?????? OH NO SHE TURNED EVIL AGAIN!!!! but does the movie explain??
so here we are with the blank kids club as izzy expositions the shit out of the other kids, which is nice. its nice to get plot... BUT ITS NOT THE PLOT WE ACTUALLY NEED, just...just a little bit of it. just a little bit.......... anyway everyone cuberbullies meiko and basically says that she is a shit and wont fit in here because all she would do is cry or fuck up something beyond repair. that is what she would do.
so then sora walks off and sits by a trunk and is sad because her tamagotchi doesnt like her anymore. BUT.......and this is a big but...Taishit and Yaman come to the rescue. BUT...they are both stupidly blank and doesnt know waht the fuck to do or say, but they try. how will they tackle this point??
So basically sora is suprised to figure out that tai and matt cant read her mind, and just runs off and is understandably angry about the situation. so as tai and matt is visibly upset they cant fix this, which you couldnt tell because their expressions are about as vibrant as a piece of wood, Taichi basically says something good for once. Sora spends her times worrying about other people and doesnt say anything about her own worries. which is....good??????
im sorry but to me thats not good at all. if you fix everyone elses problem, and you shut your own problems inside, you are going to suffer. THIS IS NOT A GOOD THING HOLY FUCK WHAT KIND OF MESSAGE IS THAT??!?!?!?!? unless i am completly misunderstanding this kind of behaviour but to me, this is not good. fuck that shit. so that scene ends. nothing gets resolved. then finally, after fucking FOREVER with filler scenes and awkward crappy animation, machinedramon finally appears and is here to fucking kill this second hand emberassment. they run from him, and the others see whats going on. so then they try to do something and fails, and then meikoomon isnt evil anymore...........????? and then something which i think is one of the biggest, STUPIDEST cop puts of all time happens.
macinedramon shoots them at point blank, and really hard and long too, like so long the camera makes sure to show ALL of their faces as they slowly burn to death by the giant super death cannon...and so they all get fucking obliterated and die... EXCEPT THEY DONT!!!!!!!!!! A DISTORTION PORTAL APPEARS AND JUST... TROWS THEM ACROSS THE ENTIRE ISLAND!!!! AND THE KIDS ARE ALSO UNHARMED!?”!?”?!?
WHAT THE FUYCK IS THAT SHIT?!?!??! WHY DID THE DISTORITON APPEAR??? WHO MADE IT?? WAS IT MEIKOOMON??? EXPLAIN!!! EXPLAIN FOR FUCKS SAKE IM TOO AUTISTIC TO UNDERSTAND THIS DEEP LEVEL OF STORY TELLING!!!
oh and we get a cute flashback to actually knowing what himekawa wanted. she just wanter he digimon back.......which is why she acted this way all along? so she could get her stupid digimon back=??? thats why she had to act like she was secretly the one fucking everything up?? ....eh idk ANYWAY
byomon sees sora cry and decides wew lad....that changes everything.,..so that scene ends, and what does byomon find?????? WELL WOW ITS MEIKO WHO JUST FELL INTO THE DIGITAL WORLD JUST BECAUSE!!!!!!!!!!!!
it was at this point i got really upset with this crappy movie. The scenes drag on for too long, scenes just end and go nowhere, and GOD DAMN IT IM SORRY FOR SAYING THIS BUT MEIKO IS A FUCKING MARY SUE. she is such a classic example of shittily written self insert characters that it fucking hurts. if i wanted to read your shitty digimon fanfiction from 2008 then i would of done that. Its fucking insane to see this level of writing from a professional writing team, holy fuck.
and then........this.......this takes the cake.... fucking tai and kari are together. finally, they get to talk a little about things, like for example bringing up whats bothering tai all this time, or why he has to be such a tittybaby with yamato, or maybe have a little chat about character development. but no we dont get none of that. shitty sad music plays and....no tai just says “oh man im so angry i didnt make it” and kari says “its ok” and then tai just looks down.... AND THEN THATS IT!!! ....OK??
so then a whole lot of fucking nothing happens for a while, and i mean, they just.....dont say ANYTHING worthwhile. tai goes all “man i wish tai would read my mind and not be an asshole. my name IS MATT AND I JUST CANT TALK TO MY FRIENDS SO I WALK AROUND LIKE AN ANGRY PISSY BABY BECAUSE THATS MY TRAIT, WHICH IS NOT FRUSTRATING AND TIRED AT ALL”
and byomon being a little warmer, going to meiko just because shes a cunt at this point, like now shes just being a dick, and generally everyone just walking around having a grand ol time. i guess its nice, and cool and all...but it drags ON FOR TOO LONG WE DONT NEED THIS LEVEL OF CALM WHEN YOU HAD ONE ACTION SCENE TROUGHOUT THE ENTIRE MOVIE!!!!! and just generally....just stuff that goes NOWHERE!! like that train scene???? literally filler. was it a trowback to 02 where agumon came back on the train after being with the dark master?? i dont know!! fuck!!
then expositionmon comes, and its vague, and leaves. and then whatever anyway
meikomon cries and when she gets back to meiko again she tries to slit her troat, and meiko supringly tells her that she isnt good.....wow..thats nice. but they reuine and FINALLY gennai arrives again. in his kaiser disguise. why does he have that avatar to go back and forth troughout the world? why did he chose to use kaiser?? my guess is just to be a dick to the others, because thats the only good explanation at this point.
and sora does say “oh hi ken please dont” but thats it. im sorry but at this point, the 02 kids are oficcially dead and gone. there is no logical explanation to why they act like this anymore. none that are actually good. forget about them, the others have. just....forget about it.
so distortions appear again and everyone reunites again, because hell we needed SOME explanation to them meeting again. so action happens, and everything is nice and fine and then gennai just
hes so insane im kind of liking it..... ANYWAY stuff happens and so they run away while gennai talks to them about some answers to our questions, which they might not hear because of the BIG HEAVY STOMPS AND ROARS from the digimons but whatever... yuggrasil i dont remember who is and at this point i just wanted the movie to be over, so this last part, there isnt much to say because i liked it.
however sora getting BTFO by a giant mountain and machinedramons claw should have killed her, but nah whatever. and the scene with tai and matt drowning??? i jsut... dont understand it. what the fuck happened??? why did they just not drown anymore?? what?????? did the power of magic save them or somethin? I DONT GET IT!! and i mean...they should have drowned at that point jfc
then half the movie is the digimon digivolving and now im so god damn sick of writing, but meikomon fucks everything up again and NOW IT ENDS ON A CLIFFHANGER!! REEEEEEEEEEEEE
SOOOO yeah thats it...the movie was slow, boring, fun, and overall awkwards. the kids had ALMOST no personality, and the scenes that the movie advertized, like the conflict with sora, tai and matt was nonexistant, and just....i myself, and a lot of people, are fucking dissapointed.
if you read this far, thank you. but i have no big hypes for the rest of the movies anymore because the shitty animation, no facial expressions, crappy storytelling, boring character interactions, and MEIKO makes me hate these movies more and more...........and that makes me sad.
