STOP

[cloudychao]

I forgot, the series is officially named Digital Story. This is the third installment of it. The cast is even younger than the past two. The first group were already adults. The second group were high schoolers. Now, these are middle school kids.

One night, a few kids sneak into the DATS headquarters and get transported to the Digital World, breaking it and scattering themselves. Vallura and Kenny have to navigate through the strange world to get home with her partner Lunamon and her friend ToyAgumon.

They find out Maria, Brian, and Scott have joined the enemy, while Abby and Sora have been living peacefully in a village. Jayden is a vigilante and Kai has joined the army resisting the rule of some new gods called Kuzuhamon and Gaioumon. 

After MDS2, the Digital World has unrest and been in disorder. With the destruction of the Olympus 12, there is no one to keep the chaos at bay. 2 digimon rose up and decided to takeover the world for themselves. They are sadistic and like seeing the world destroy itself. 

Vallura and Kenny have to make a choice. They can join to defeat these rulers or go home. Kenny decides enough is enough and goes home, while Vallura stays to fight. 

She finds out about the Olympus 12 and knows they are the only ones who can help. She sets out with Lunamon to find them and stop the destruction.

The Sazae-Oni [Japanese folklore; yokai]

Kazusano Kuni, in the Shiba prefecture of Japan, used to be a popular shelling spot in the Edo period. There is a folktale from this region about a strange sea-snail-like creature that lives in the deep seas, called the Sazae-Oni.

On nights with a full moon, this enigmatic being floats up to the surface and dances in the moonlight. After completing its dance, it transforms into a human woman and comes to shore to look for a place to spend the night. When she comes knocking on your door at night, you should never let her in, because she kills her host in the morning, before transforming back into a snail creature and returning to the open sea.

The Wakayama prefecture has a completely different story about this creature: according to the legend, the Sazae-Oni transformed into a beautiful woman when a ship passed through the coastal waters. She convinces the ship’s crew to get her aboard the ship, but the sailors are cruel and lustful and the demon finds herself sexually assaulted. In retaliation, she transforms back into a monster and devours the crewmembers.

Generally speaking, the 18th century yokai bestiaries by Toriyama Sekien are some of the best sources out there if you want to know more about creatures from Japanese folklore.

With this fourth instalment in Sekien’s yokai encyclopaedias, however, he took a lot of liberties. Instead of illustrating monsters from well-known folktales and legends, he wrote a narrative in which he fell asleep and saw hordes of strange monsters in his dreams, many of which he invented himself. Among the creatures he supposedly dreamt up was the Sazae-Oni, a sea demon with a horned turban shell for a head (these snails are called ‘sazae’ in Japan, hence the name). He referenced an old wives’ tale that sparrows supposedly dive into the sea and transform into clams to hibernate during the winter, and a saying ‘moles emerging as quails’ which refers to the emergence of hibernating animals in spring. If these animals can transform into other animals (not intended literally), why couldn’t the power of nature turn a snail into a demon?

In this book, the fiend is depicted as a vaguely humanoid monster with a long, snail-like body coming out of a snail’s shell. Its head is a shell with eyes and strands of seaweed. Though Sekien did not invent the Sazae-Oni – the aforementioned folktales apparently predate him – his shell-tailed depiction of the monster became a mainstay in Japanese culture, with numerous appearances in tv shows, manga and other media. In particular, I think the Pokémon Slowbro and the Digimon Shellmon are based on this yokai.

writers ask~ 🎨 (favourite piece of fanart) & 🍓 (how did you get into writing fanfiction)

fantastic news anon i had a good writing outing and we broke 19k words on book 2 which is guesstimating about 33% of the book yeehaw

🎨 (favourite piece of fanart)

so we just had tserith week and like, this is a huge recency bias thing but ela over on twitter is a demigod of some sort and had a piece ready for each day of the week including the free day. that being said, this piece of hers...hold on. where did she go??? what the hell...whadda hell.....Whether she went priv on twitter (oops the fact that i follow Nobody is biting me in the ass) or if smth else happened, idk, but anyway it was an earlier piece of tseng and aeris, the latter of whom is in the red dress, and she's straddling him in a gentle moonlight scene in her bedroom and they're gazing into each others eyes

🍓 (how did you get into writing fanfiction)

this one's fun bc i think i always like told myself and wrote stories whether original or not growing up. i think the earliest inklings that i'd be into fanfiction was when i would put OCs into digimon and play around with them (they were always the aloof strong guy type that would show up and be cool for an episode then leave). but in terms of writing and posting on the internet, i started with the fanfiction area of the official code lyoko forums back in like. god help me. 2005 or something. thank god that fucking shit is purged like yes oh no library of french cartoon fandom alexandria burning but nah no one needs to see all that. i eventually got better and better, posted to ff.net for the first time in 2007 i think as well as crossposted things to deviantart, livejournal, etc. i carried around a notebook and wrote in it frequently, went behind my parents backs to post, all that good good shit. what's equally humbling as well as freaky is that there are some people who remember my code lyoko fics from 2007 ff.net who have occasionally found me years later. still hard to wrap my head around that one, but i'm happy to have 'em around.

[ask game prompts]

[crowmons-study]

Why were games like Digimon Story Daybreak/Moonlight made? Were they just advertisements for the Nightcrow and LightFang Unions?

Not really, those are just (from my knowledge) the largest tamer unions and so they were used. It's sort of like how humans put their own organizations into their media, at least that's how I see it.

[nachiroux]

the digimon story: sunburst/moonlight canonical protagonist comparison is so fucking funny to me

here's sunburst's canonical protagonist, Koh, next to moonlight's canonical protagonist, Sayo

one of these became an instant fan favorite that kept reappearing in other games alongside her signature new digimon. the other is the twelfth result for Generic Monster Game Protagonist on google

Random Night

Fandom: Zatch Bell, The Duke of Death and His Maid, Villainess Level 99, Super Mario, Pokemon, Digimon, and Final Fantasy 7. Rated: T Verse: Randomverse CW/TW: Slight drinking and smoking, mention of a breakup and polyamorous relationship. Notes: Just a random writing with a random plot and random canon and OC characters. Reina is my villainess OC. Word Count: 522

"Well, Suzume isn't coming to the party, man," William said to Luigi.

"I can't blame her. Walter will be there. He is the last person she'd need to see right now." Luigi sighed, throwing a cigarette onto the ground, and stepped on it. "Why did she date him in the first place?"

"She liked him, dude." William opened a can of beer and drank it. "But, no, he has to fuck it up."

"I'm curious. I thought Miss Ehnleit was the only girl you and your homies give a darn about."

"The hell?" William raised an eyebrow, confused, as he held his half-empty beer. "Did we really look like we only cared about Alicia?"

"You didn't hear it from me, but Walter thinks so." Luigi frowned.

"That bastard! He has the nerve to say shit when he never ONCE gives a damn about Suzume!"

"Y'all didn't hear this one from me," Daisy emerged from the public restroom. "but Suzume may get back together with Viktor."

"Ooooh, fucking shit!" William gaped enthusiastically. "Viktor's pretty much is FUCKED."

"I thought he likes Alice?" Luigi wondered, raising his eyebrow.

"Suzume was in a threesome with Viktor and Alice," Daisy admitted. "Walter has no idea."

"One way to piss off Walter and his ego," William drank the rest of his beer and tossed the can into a recycle bin. "So, y'all coming to Reina's party?"

"Mah." Luigi shook his head no. "I'm staying home tonight. Big bro is having his own party."

"Cool. I ain't going either. Edwin is out of town with his family, Oswald's crashing in early for a huge ass exam tomorrow, and Alicia is chilling with Suzume, Viola, and Caph at her house. I probably go home and play video games."

"Or you can join us!" Mario appeared along with Ash and Tai. "I'm having an open party! Cloud and his gang will also be there."

"I'm in now," William grinned. "I need to talk to Cloud anyway."

"Heck yeah!" Luigi jumped excitedly. "I was about to ask you to invite William, bro!" Luigi looked at Mario.

"No need! The more guests, the more fun!" Mario smiled kindly. "First, we need to head to the convenience store. Waluigi and Wario drank all of the sodas." Mario chuckled.

"Let me buy the sodas," William offered, grinning. "That's the least I can do, man!"

"Welcome abroad!" Daisy put her arm around William's shoulder, smiling at him. "New blood!"

"Hey, now! That's the vampire way to settle things," Ash giggled.

"Tell me about it!" Tai laughed. "Matt and the others at Reina's party."

"Ugh. Don't even mention that asshole. Reina caused the break-up between Suzume and Walter. Daisy scowled in disgust.

"Forget about that poser." Ash scoffed. "Mario's party is better!"

"What the hell are we waiting for me?! Let's go already!" Luigi cheered.

Everyone nodded to each other and headed toward the convenience store to buy more sodas, alcohol, juices, and snacks. Before finally returning to Mario's two-story house, Daisy ordered a massive meal takeout for the party.

What an incredible night to be alive as the full moonlight shined upon the party attendees.
