Sweet Surprise

“So how’s it going?” Harlow slid up to you, teasingly bumping his hip against yours. “You know, with your mans.” His eyebrows wiggled.

You rolled your eyes but had to smile. “Fine, I’d say.” You shrugged. “I mean, I think he’s been getting enough energy? He’s actually starting to get to the point where he’s almost fully solid even during the day time,” you reflected.

His eyebrows shot up. “Well, talk about getting dicked down, bestie,” he said, a grin splitting his face.

You flushed, reaching over to smack his arm. “Harlow, seriously!” you groaned. “I’ve been trying to give him energy in other ways too.”

He tilted his head. “Wait, seriously? How?”

You pursed your lips, tugging at your hair. “Well, I mean yes he’s been getting energy that way, but I’ve also tried using crystals. We’ve figured out that apparently it works well if I infuse quartz with energy and he holds onto it during the day.”

“Ah, that makes sense.” Harlow nodded. “I’m telling you though, that direct body contact—“

You buried your face into your hands with a quiet whine. “Harlowwwww.”

He just chuckled. “Hey, look, I just want you to be happy, yknow? And you seem to be with him.”

You gave him an embarrassed but grateful smile. “Thank you, Harl. You really are my best friend, you know.”

He tossed his head, the strings of beads around his horns clacking. “Oh you know it,” he sniffed. “Anyway, so all’s good in paradise.”

You pursed your lips, mind wandering on a tangent.

“Oh, is it not?” Harlow raised an eyebrow at you.

You blinked, then flushed. “Oh… well, I mean, we’re fine, but… I’ve run into a bit of a problem.” You winced a little. “Maybe TMI though-?”

“We just got done confirming that I’m your best friend,” Harlow said dryly. “Spill.”

You gave him a grateful smile. “Well, I’ve basically been going to sleep with just a T-shirt on. The only problem is that by the time I wake up, it’s always twisted around me really awkwardly. It’s uncomfortable. And I don’t like sleeping without clothes because I get cold, so…”

“Ah. The age-old problem of easy accessibility without complete nudity,” Harlow said with a sage nod, making you snort. Then he grinned. Luckily for you, bestie, a solution has been discovered for a long time.” He flicked his fingers. “It’s sexy, it’s easy, and it’s comfortable.”

You blinked, trying to think of what he might be saying.

“Lingerie, bestie.” He shook his finger at you. “So you got any or am I gonna have to drag you out to get some.”

Your eyes widened. You supposed that was… one way to do it. Then you bit your lip. “Um, no… I mean, I don’t have any…”

His grin widened in a way that made you swallow. “Well then… we’re taking a shopping trip after work.”

You knew it was futile to protest.

Walking back into the house, you let the door swing closed behind you. Locking the door, you dropped the keys onto the counter and sighed, setting your bags down. The pink shopping bag stared back at you expectantly, making you bite your lip as you sighed.

Not that you didn’t like what you’d gotten, but… You had to wonder how Varen would react. Though your Hat Man certainly had done nothing but adore you to no end, you still had to wonder if he would like the various kinds you’d bought. Or if he’d even really care? Did he find that sort of thing… attractive?

Shaking your head, you huffed softly and went to go put your things away. As soon as you walked into the bedroom, Varen materialized in the doorway. Though the sunlight was still coming though the window, he still had a rather solid form, only the edges a little wispy and translucent.

He walked up to you, his glowing blue eyes gazing down at you with an open warmth. Hallo, sweetheart. The sweet curl of his Brooklyn accent washed over you.

You reached up and wrapped your arms around him with a smile. “Hi, Varen,” you greeted back, nuzzling against his chest.

A soft chuckle rippled through your mind, and his hands landed on your waist. Have a good day?

You hummed and nodded, leaning up to briefly kiss his cheek. “Yep! I actually got to go out with Harlow after work, which was nice. We haven’t done that in a while.” Gently pulling away from him, you flitted over to the vanity to wipe your makeup off. “It was fun, actually.”

He sat behind you on the edge of your bed, chin propped in his hand as he watched you. Even without completely discernible features, the infatuated adoration with which he gazed at you was unmistakable. It practically radiated from him.

Bet ya were the prettiest one out there, sweetheart.

You shook your head with a soft laugh. “Oh, Varen. You’re biased.” Still, you had to smile at him. “But thank you, you’re sweet.”

His wispy hum floated through the air. Such a pretty little thing.

You flushed at the endearment, reminded of the first time he’d said it. Wiping the last of the makeup off of your face, you nodded through the mirror. “Did the crystal work well?”

He nodded, holding it up in his hand. Almost there.

“That’s good.” Standing, you turned to walk over to the closet. “I’m going to go take a shower and then get ready for bed. Do you need anything?”

He shook his head. Will wait for you.

You flashed him a quick smile as you headed for the bathroom. “Thank you, love!”

As soon as you closed the bathroom door, you sucked in a breath and glanced at the pink bag sitting on the counter. You went to take a shower, deciding that you’d figure out which one to wear while you washed up.

Should you wear the red halter neck lace? The black garters? Or maybe… Since this was the first night, after all… Your eyes wandered to the bag.

Once you’d finished showering and had dried off, you glanced at yourself in the mirror and blew out a breath. Well, since you didn’t know how Varen would react, you might as well play it off by not really addressing it. After all, you had originally gotten it because you wanted to be comfortable, right? If your new nightwear also made Varen a little more crazy over you—if that was even possible—so much the better. No one would hear youcomplain about it.

Smoothing your hands over the silk, you took one last anxious glance in the mirror. The babydoll silk nightgown dripped from your curves, a bit lacy but rather comfortable against your skin without any awkward tucks or frills. The bottom hem didn’t even make it halfway down your thighs, fluttery and soft. Biting your lip, you sighed and wondered if Varen would notice that it was blue. You’d immediately thought of him the moment you’d seen it.

Shaking your head at yourself, you took in a breath and clapped your hands to your cheeks. Before you could lose all of your courage, you opened the door and stepped back into the bedroom. Turning, you closed the door behind you.

“Varen, did you close the curtains?” You turned around and paused.

Varen stood by the bed, his entire body completely frozen. His eyes fixed on you, trailing down your body, lingering on the places where the lace just barely showed a hint of your skin.

You shuffled a little, hands tucking behind you. “V-Varen?” you asked hesitantly.

He slowly walked forward, until he practically towered over you. He tilted his head, his blue tongue slowly licking over his lips. Did I do something, sweets?

Your eyes widened, and your tugged at the hem of the nightdress. “D-do something?”

Musta done somethin’ real good, ta deserve this… His talons twitched, as though he desperately wanted to reach out for you. So pretty…

You swore if he could he’d be drooling, and you felt your face flush as you looked down at your feet. “I… I take it you like it, then,” you said shyly, peering up at him from under your eyelashes.

He chuckled. Like? Love, sweetheart. Love you. Love this.

You smiled. “I-I wanted to get something actually comfortable for myself. But I saw this color and it- it reminded me of you, so…” You bit your lip.

Varen reached out, his talons landing lightly on your hips, slipping over the soft fabric. Leaning down, he nuzzled against your cheek. Wanna feel you. So soft. Pretty.

“Um, let me go to bed, then?” you offered laughingly, hands landing on his chest.

He swept you up, pulling your legs to wrap around his waist as he started to carry you to bed. You laughed, pressing your hands against his shoulders as he gently tipped you backwards and dumped you on the bed. His talons instantly tangled in the soft silk, and he leaned down to nose against your neck, a low purr rumbling though his chest.

Your breath hitched as he touched you gently, sliding across you, his tongue gently dragging over your neck and shoulder. Head tilting, you whimpered and slightly arched into him. You didn’t think you’d ever really get over the way he touched you with such an aching reverence, gentle and loving.

“Hmm— Varen,” you sighed, eyes fluttering open to hazily look up at him.

Thinkin’ of me when you get somethin’ so pretty for yourself… Varen sounded positively giddy. ‘M so lucky, sweetheart. He purred.

“For you,” you whispered, reaching up to cup his cheek. “I’m so glad you like it.” You smiled up at him shyly.

Can I touch you? He all but begged, hands sliding down your thighs, pushing at the hem of your dress.

You nodded, heart skipping a beat. When his talons pushed your dress up, enough to show that you had nothing on underneath, you saw his head tilt. The blue of his eyes flared for a moment, and his tongue poked out to lick a trail of blue across his maw. Leaning down, he kissed you, a bit needy but still polite in a way that made you smile.

Wanna feel. Please. Wanna be greedy, sweetheart.

“Okay,” you murmured, feeling your body flush with arousal.

He laid down on his side, wrapping his talon around your waist and pulling you back into his chest. He ground up against your ass, maw pressing kisses to the back of your neck and shoulder, eliciting a soft moan from you. His other hand swept down, sliding between your legs. His claws gently slid against your core, making you arch and whimper.

Already so wet and warm. Pretty little thing. He breathed, his cock pressing between your ass. He rutted against you slightly, just as his fingers spread you open so the head of his cock pressed right up against you.

Your lips parted in a soft gasp. Varen always knew exactly how to touch you, make you so ready for him with his gentle touch and words. The way he somehow balanced his adoration with his greed. The moment he slid his tip into you, his finger found your clit. Your fingers clutched at the pillow, his name spilling desperately from your lips.

‘Sokay, sweetheart. He murmured into your ear. Gonna take good care of you. Gonna give you what you want.

“Please,” you whined, almost trembling in need. You needed to feel him filling you, stretching you until it was all you could think about, all you could focus on. Feeling his dusky warmth settle into you until you knew nothing else. “Please, Varen—“

His cock slid into you, his hands around your waist pulling you all the way down onto him. He held your hips flush against his, his chest heaving against your back as hiis maw closed over your shoulder.

For a moment you could only lay there and gasp, trembling with the need that swept through you. You could already feel his entire cock twitching inside you, every ridge and vein pressing up into you, as though he planned to stay there and never leave. You could feel him already dripping into you every time your body pulsed around him.

So good. Varen slurred, voice half drunk. His tongue slid down your shoulder, his soft breaths coming in pants against your hypersensitive skin. So good, sweetheart. So pretty, like this. So soft.

You whined, your fingers scrabbling against the sheets. “Please, Varen,” you half-sobbed. “Please, need more. Need more of you—“

He groaned, sounding suspiciously like your name. His hips snapped up into yours, his cock dragging inside you in a way that lit your body from the inside out like sparks. The pleasure skipped down your spine, making you writhe against him as every thrust caused his finger to scrape past your clit.

Varen rolled forward a little, until he half-pinned you against the bed. One talon wrapped around your wrist next to the pillow, holding it down, while the other slid under you and cupped your breast. His claw caught against the soft silk, while every thrust he made into you made the lace catch against your nipples. His head dropped forward, his tongue leaving a trail of pale blue drool to swirl across your skin.

Pretty little thing. He cooed. Doing so good. Feel so good.

You were already at your limit. The coil inside you tightened with every word, every thrust. His hand slid down to your waist, just as he curled his talons around you and pulled your hips up a little more. The moment he angled up into that one perfect spot, you came. Stars burst behind your eyelids, tears slipping down your cheeks as you cried out his name. The dusky heat of your orgasm filled your body, until it was all you could focus on, all you could feel.

That’s it, sweetheart. Gonna take good care of you. Gotta thank you for getting all dolled up. Gonna make you feel so good.

He fucked you through the orgasm, prolonging the high, whispering soft, sweet praises. His talon wrapped around your thigh and pushed one leg up, somehow spreading you open even further. His broad body pinned you to the bed as he kept thrusting, not letting up for a moment.

Your eyelids had started to get heavy, the orgasm lulling your body into a pleasant hum of contentment as the drowsiness descended. Your breaths came soft and fast against the pillow, and Varen noticed.

‘Sokay, sweetheart. Rest. Gonna take care of you, always. Make sure you get good sleep. He promised sweetly.

You let out a sleepy sigh, eyelashes fluttering closed as you melted into the mattress. Varen’s hips stuttered for a moment as you murmured his name, and a moment later you felt him pour into you as his head landed on the pillow next to you. His soft moan spilled into your ear, his head tucking against yours. His body shuddered, pressed on top of you, and he relaxed.

“Love you,” you murmured sleepily.

Love you, sweetheart. He murmured back. Gently, he shifted until you were once more on your side, though he still stayed buried inside you and your leg cocked up. Reaching around, he gently cupped your breasts in his claws, apparently infatuated with the contrast of the soft silk and your warm skin.

Still, as you drifted off into a happy sleep, you had to admit: maybe the lingerie really had been more for you than him.

~ Bonus! ~

“Well?” Harlow already looked smug.

You tried and failed to tamp down your amused smile, then sighed in defeat. “Blue dress down, more to go,” you admitted. “I’m almost worried if I’ll survive the next one,” you half-laughed.

Harlow let out a triumphant “Ha!” Grinning, he waved his hand. “I told you, didn’t I? And let me guess, you woke up just fine, too.”

You gave him a playfully mocking bow. “Indeed your great wisdom has been useful once again, oh great and mighty Harlow. Your peasants thank you.”

He snickered, reaching over to flick your forehead. “Well you know what they say. Happy spouse, happy house, hmm?” He chuckled. “So for real though, those dirty details—“

Dream on, Harlow.”

“…. After work coffee date, then?”

“Ugh, fine.”

Okay, (not so) big brain time:

Eva in TDA. She manages to get a lot further than in Island (naturally). And here comes the headcanon kicker: As soon as Trent’s number 9 thing becomes more apparent due to the stress he’s subjected to, and everyone makes fun of it, Eva notices and fucking... silences everyone’s laughs by just being herself. Yknow, something like:

“And WHAT’S so funny about that?“

and everyone goes “nothing” and succumbs, because of obvious reasons such as she’s scary as fuck if she wants to be. When everyone moves to a different place, Trent gets a chance to talk to Eva in private, and asks her why she defended him back there. It goes something like:

“No hard feelings, but you didn’t look like you could defend yourself. Besides, there’s nothing funny about what you do.“

“What’s that supposed to mean?“

“Well, why do you think I wear so much blue?“

And it probably gets interrupted before they talk more. Later on, Trent probably records a confessional about how Eva was the last person he expected to be understanding out of all of them.

Do you guys know what I mean? In Eva’s bio, it’s implied that the only thing in the way of Eva becoming one of the strongest players and a great leader is her anger and temper. And this scene right there would be a nice little milestone for her road to becoming more respected amongst the other players, more trusted, like an actual leader.

Do I miss Eva? Yes,,

“Of course I still love you. But I hate myself for it.”

“It’s my fault really, for being stupid enough to think that you could change”

“I’ve spent all this time wondering and worrying about you. You didn’t think of me once?”

“I don’t know how to love someone without hurting them”

“Is that blood?”

“I can’t just forget you. That’s not how it works.”

“Do you even still love me?”

“You have to leave right now.”

“Was that supposed to hurt?”

“I still remember the way you taste.”

“I never stood a chance, did I?”

“After everything we’ve been through, you still don’t think that I love you?”

“Don’t lie to me.”

“I won’t lose you too.”

Fluff

“I love you, even though you’re a complete dork”

“Nothing’s right when you’re away”

“I’ve not heard that pet name since the 40s”

“I like it when we hold hands. We should do it more often”

“You can sleep, I’ll keep you safe.”

“Have you seen my hoodie?” “Nooo.” “You’re wearing it, aren’t you?”

“Have you always been this beautiful?”

Miscellaneous

“Now, I’m not saying that I hate you, all that I’m saying is that if you were on fire and there was water next to you, chances are I’d drink it”

“What time is it there?” - “We’re in the same time-zone.”

“We’re in love with the same person, well you know what they say? Friendships are built on common ground”

“I’m here for the food - not you”

“I might just be drunk, but how many of you are there?”

“We’ve known each other how long and you still don’t know my name?”

“Care to explain why you’re naked”

“Yeah, I know that I’m the epitome of evil and all, but I do still have standards”

“I immediately regret this decision.”

“Remember when we were little?”

“He’s so pretty I think I’m gonna faint.”

“Am I your lock screen?” “You weren’t supposed to see that.”

“Can I pet your dog?” “Do I know you?”

“All I do is drink coffee and say bad words.”

“You come here often?” “Well, I work here. So I think I’d have to say ‘yes’.”

“YOU SAID TO BE HONEST - STOP HITTING ME!”

“I’m too sober for this.” “You don’t even drink.” “Maybe I should start.”

“Stop being grumpy, it’s lame.”

“Sometimes, being a complete nerd comes in handy.”

“Half the time I get too embarrassed to say anything.”

Sad

“Tell me one thing. Why wasn’t I fucking enough? I loved you. Oh fuck, how I loved you. How I still love you.”

“You say I love you because you truly mean it, not just because you want to hear it back.”

“I just want the pain to stop”

“I wish I could be with you always if I make it go away”

“You love me as though I deserve you”

“You don’t have to sleep here just because I got admitted

“I wasn’t ready to say goodbye - I don’t think I’ll ever be ready to say goodbye”

“You know you can’t drink them back to life, right?”

“You’re the one thing keeping me sane right now.”

“If you die, I’m never speaking to you again.”

“I just really miss talking to you.”

“We’re all a little stronger than we think we are.”

“If you don’t hug me right now I think I might fall apart.”

“Wake up! Please wake up.”

“Please don’t cry”

“Be you. No one else can.”

“You look like you could use a hug.”

MORE UPDATES ON THINGS WHAT HAPPEN

The half week milestone of the hospital house thingie time! I think the term they use for it is "a residential stay"? Cos like its not a hospital its a shared housing block thats just full of doctors. I get to sleep in a real bed and there's a nice community room and board game nights and stuff. But its still really scary how intense the supervision can be! Like they have a window to look into your room once per hour every hour constantly. And they have to go through your undies and catalog them as part of the possessions check. I was not warned about that and it was mega embarassing trying to explain a binder to a bunch of old lady doctors! Oh and i had yo do a urine test today which was possibly the most fuckin embarassing thing in the actual universe. And you're not even allowed to take your own pills! They keep them locked in a big ominous wall of lockers and you have to come into the office and swallow the pill while theyre watching. I guess maybe because some people might be faking their illness and selling their pills on the black market or whatever? But that literally doesnt happen with antidepressants, they have no 'high' or even any effect at all on non-sick people. So it just makes no sense to me and its real embarassing cos like i said i suck at taking pills with plain water and without a straw. The ones i take are real damn chunky things the size of my thumbnail! I think i'l get better at not (literally) choking under pressure over time, tho. Hopefully.

Anyway that's all the bad out of the way! Now the good and the neutral and the just miscellaneous!

Its still nervewracking having to shower in a shared house but they have a cool walk-in shower and ive never tried one of those so it was vaguely interesting. And im allowed to take my showers early at 6am to minimize the chance of anyone else trying to use the door, lol. My biggest fear is having some staff member walk in on me when im naked like back in that homeless hostel. Oh or that time in the homeless hostel where the teenage boys filled the entire bathroom with inflated condoms wall to wall. Like wow so much damn effort to prank the stupid nervous bunni who probably would have been embarassed by literally anything else. Man this place is bringing so many memories of that homeless hostel but at least this time its a place specifically for sick people and they know i'm anxious doing shared cooking and board games and whatever so they dont make fun of me for it. But in a lot of ways that hostel had more freedoms too.. *shrug*

Anyway! A good! I get to have cooking lesson!! I know literally nothing about cooking and now i get to know several thing!! This nice doctor called Josie taught me how to make an omelette and i tasted ham for the first time! That is just how limited my life experiences are, lol. Oh and they want me to say that she's a 'mental health worker' not a doctor, but its all real confusing?? Like they have the staff that look after you and then the only ones we're supposed to call doctors are the ones who actually have the authority to prescribe pills and diagnosies. But like if youre in a hospital you'd call them all doctors, not just the actual surgeon? Or i guess theyre kinda like nursing home staff?? But they cant be support workers cos support workers are specific government assigned inspector type guys like Richard who only meet with you once a week.and i have to remember to not call him a social worker either cos social workers only work with family and custody related stuff. I dunno?? Basically the medical industry has a lot of names that dont really describe what the actual thing is, lol. Anyway the ham omelette was great and now im gonna try and remember so i can try and make it myself next time! HAM ACCOMPLISHED

Also i played bingo with a few other patients and it was fun but funny that i lost 6 times in a row when there were only 3 of us. I got a consolation prize of a pack of neon highlighter pens so hell yeah!!

I'm getting booked in to try some additional classes starting next week on monday and tuesday morning. The computer programming one was sadly unavailable, but i managed tp snag a place in "confidence building group therapy" and "basic how to use power tools". I wasnt really all that interested in that one but i thought it would be a useful skill even if its less fun. And maybe you get to actyally make something to take home at the end? A lil shelf to help organize this awkward lil room better, maybe?

And an unexpected bonus of being semi-hospitalized is that i get a free bus pass! And cos im here cos of my social anxiety theyre gonna help me get outside more and actually use this thing to the fullest! The first thing we did was the trip to actually get the bus pass itself. It was like "bus, take my money to take me to the place where i can never give you money again!" XD Ive been really stupidly nervous about going on tne bus in my old neighbourhood cos MAN it was really isolated there and everything just amplified my mental illness. An almost two hour bus ride to get to ANY SHOPS AT ALL, with only one bus for the whole town so it was always crowded and full of screaming kids and gossipy everyones. Social anxiety: maximum level proud mode!

So yeah i feel BIG ACCONPLISHED! I was able to take this bus for the first time with a doctor coming with me. Power Grandpa The Strong. His actual name is Paul and he has awesome sleeve tattoos of like anchors and dragons and sports teams and stuff! And he likes thrift stores and wearing silly hats too! Its like he's powerful enough to wrestle away everyone's anxieties! I was able to be a bit reckless too and i went out wearing my fave shirt thats like trans pride coloured plaid. A POWERFUL SHIRT IS REQUIRED FOR THIS QUEST! so we went to the office to register this bus pass and i panicked a bit cos apparantky we brought the wrong form and i wrote my name in the wrong box and then my passport photo looked terrible and aaa! But it all worked out and i was kinda freaking out for nothing. And he took me for a lil tour of the place and showed me this cool shop that does spray paint tye dye t shirts with spiderman on them?? Why does this incredibly specific shop exist and how have i never heard of it before?? There was also a new harry potter shop next to the disney shop, and the old used book store i used to visit as a kid was still there, complete with rickety spiral staircase and ominous basement trap door. I'm still not brave enough to go down there, but apparantly its just the history books section so meh. Then we actually went to a fancy coffee shop and i had this brain freeze mango ice frappucchino thing! Im trying all the new foods!!

And i was TOO HIGH ON DECADENCE and made a RECKLESS CHOICE! i blame power gramp's amazing tattoos, they were totally whispering to me that i shoukd screw the rules and ride off into the sunset on a metaphorical harley davidsen of mental health

So i was like Hey Paul I Am Totally Fine Getting Home On My Own, and it was like i was floating off in the distance somewhere begging my body to not speaketh these words. But it ended up working out okay! The excitement of it all and the sense of accomplishmebt from getting there all okay allowed me to mostly not freak out as i spent the day in town and looked at some shops and stuff. Basic Living Skills: Completed! I chilled out in the library (tho i dont have a card yet, alas!) and visited like five comic and anime stores, and got lost but found a Pizza Hut and that was SO NOSTALGIC FOR MY CHILDHOOD and it didnt taste quite as good as i remembered but the waiter guy was super nice and had a similar shirt and it was All Good! Oh and i gave all my money to a homeless person and that's why i'm broke now. And i bought a plastic slug! I just saw it from across the room and was like OH NO I AM BEING MAGNETISED TOWARDS IT OH NO IT HAS ALREADY BEEN BOUGHT. I need to think of a name for this new friend!!

So yeh i got home okay and i felt really acconplished and that was the furthest trip away that i've taken in ages! Man my mental illness makes me feel pathetic, but it also brings ridiculously big joys from the smallest of silly acconplishys!

Oh and thank you so much to the people who sent me emails! It really helped so much to keep me from giving up during the first few days before i made a bit of progress and felt like i could really do this, yknow? Especially big thanks tp the friend who sent me that mysterious super happy song that they found on a mystery disc in a german market?? Im still not sure whether its in greek or hasidic jewish but it sounds AMAZING and i hope someday i can figure out the band so i can hear their other singles!

Ok this is bunni out! BIG HUGS FOR THE EVERYONE AAAA

gettinG REALLY KINDA SALTY about digimon world next order u guys GOD GODDDDD its like the sequel we always wanted to digimon world... IN GAMEPLAY IN GAMEPLAY ONLY the plot is SO BAD its so bad in THE WORST WAY its a good game with a bad plto, so it frustrates me infinately more cos i WANT it to be good enough to live up to the rest of the game! and it has infinate spewing geysers of potential that went completely untapped cos of lazy bullshiT!

and its not like they had a lot to live up to or anything?? like.. the first digimon world practically DID NOT have a plot 90% of it was just free open gameplay with sassy dialogue yes but no real overarching narrative it had an excuse why the story started, and it had a very cathartic ending to it all. But it was all up to you to decide in what order our nameless protagonist did it all, who he met, how he won, what bits he might have missed entirely even! it was so fun cos it was a game where EVERY quest was a sidequest! the only real thing that would stay the same is that you needed to complete a certain amount of those sidequests to unlock the final boss quest, but which ones you pick is totes up to you. Except that there was an annoying bug in the PAL version that meant that one area had a random chance of being locked off thus the ending fight never spawns :P But even if i never actually finished the game I still had infinate enjoyment making my own story, yknow?

so the bad plot shenanigans in next order are annoying because they also made really foolish gameplay decisions to FORCE you to follow this main plot stuff is way less open, very very VERY commonly you can unlock a damn area, walk around in it, and every sidequest in it just refuses to start because you havent hit the right chapter milestone. and it gets to be increasingly stupid excuses too! most of the time the npc is just like ‘yeah i have a huge emergency but I DONT WANT TO TALK TO YOU ABOUT IT’ *sits there panicking forever* How the fuck do they even know I’m ‘not worthy’ anyway, and why would it MATTER??? In DW1 if youre underlevelled for an area you just find out cos you fail the quest! you at least get to see what it is and KNOW what you have to work towards to be prepared next time! plus the plot is just a huge fuckin textdump of nonsense pseudo science that is never explained, its EVERYONE ELSE just doing stuff offscreen instead of letting you even see the potentially cool plot threads! and whenever anything has to happen they have some made-up excuse why everyone can just magically know what the villain is planning, due to this pseudoscience, and they HAVE to explain it EVERY TIME which just makes it far clearer that its a terrible plot hole??? and they waste all this time on this yet skip over vitally important stuff like ENTIRE CHARACTER ARCS and LETTING YOU ACTUALLY PARTICIPATE. All you ever fuckin do is be the one to defeat machinedramon cos everyone else is inexplicably weak and useless! oh and EVERY FUCKING BOSS IS MACHINEDRAMON AGAIN AND AGAIN goDDDDDDDDDD

anyway, The Awful Plot is that [insert made up magic excuse here] is turning everyone into Machinedramon clones with a virus and somehow this is bad because as well as digivolving to an arbitrary form they also turn evil for no reason and then its just YEARS AND YEARS of people explaining exactly how the virus must have been created and like five different contrived things we can do to slow it down and then after like FIFTY HOURS we finally get out first appearance of the fucking villain. as a silhouette. in the background. im at 90 hours now and i still dont even know his fucking name, or why the fuck he wants everyone to be machinedramon. but man it was vitally important to instead waste time explaining the ‘antivirus enforcer program’ and how it would totally be useful only to reveal it was taken out offscreen before the game even started and now it’s a villain. cos like we needed five more fake villain minions to delay this actual villain man’s appearance, UUUUUGH! none of them even talk! its just magic virus that makes you magically evil. and why did we need to explain the compelx metaphysics of an antivirus when ultimately you could have just said ‘its omegamon, he’s a big hero in this setting, he got turned evil and now we have to save him’. Why did we need a misdirect that this antivirus wasnt a person??? why did we need to go on a quest to find a guy who can make flower seeds and then plant the flower seeds in the most contrived way waiting 1 ingame day between each step, then somehow the plant is a clue that omegamon is evil SOMEHOW and then its still 30 hours til we fucking meet the guy... sorry, sorry, this probably makes about as little sense as it did to me. i just had to try and give an example of a particular main quets line that FUCKING PISSED ME OFF and i STILL dont know what any of it means so i cant even explain it to you! i got spoiled for the goddamn ending and i STILL dont know why there was an omegamon-predicting rafflesia that took one ingame month to get past...

BUT YEAH SORRY IM TRYING TO SUMMARIZE THIS

theres some mystery villain who’s turning everyone into machinedramon for no reason thats the plot and youre not really given a reason why this town needs you to recruit more digimon except somehow if you get [insert amount here] prosperity that’ll take enough time that jijimon will finish magically hacking [insert plot device here] to find the next location of [whatever the thing is]... i mean its vaguely mentioned once at the start that a machinedramon destroyed the town or something? so i guess maybe we can assume all the townsfolk actually died and we’re getting new ones/searching for their reincarnated selves or something. Man if that was ACTUALLY THE INTENTION and ACTUALLY EXPLAINED then it would have been pretty damn good! it’d add some interestingness to the sidequests if the digimon had to recover lost memories of being someone else in the city once. plenty of potential for interesting interactions if their new digiegg’d self is a wildly different form or something! Like that could have been a good setup for the one endearing fashion designer skullgreymon who’s super sad about looking so scary. Also seriously WHY DID SKULLGREYMON NOT GET TO OPEN A FASHION SHOP?? why did they remove that feature from reDigitize, this game is for a far more powerful console so it couldnt have been impossible to add in... (I still have no clue how they managed to pull off actual digimon customization on the first generation psp! WHY IS THIS THE ONLY UNDUBBED GAME) so yeah the original DW1 even had a more solid establishing plot here, even though it was 99% less text! ‘for some reason digimon are turning violent and losing their abiloty to speak, all my friends at this city slowly dissappeared into the wilderness, please solve this mystery and bring them back’. THAT WAS INTERESTING! That had an actual reason why recruiting shopkeepers equals plot progression, you were ACTUALLY DOING SOMETHING, not just waiting for someone else to decode an ambiguously explained ‘frequency’ to point you at your next key item/FIGHTING THE SAME DAMN BOSS AGAIN :P

ALSO ALSO why no analogman WHY NO ANALOGMAN how does this make ANY SENSE?? why is it even machinedramon in particular, if not for the fact it was analogman’s digimon in the first game??? thats just getting my hopes up for no damn reason! why didnt we get to see The Very Original Villain come back and get fully voiced dialogue and maybe some more development on who he is and what his backstory is or whatever his plot was minimal back then because it was a very low tech game, now we have NO EXCUSE for it :P its just ‘yeah his entire presence in the plot is that someone on the writing team was inspired by his postgame sidequest, i guess’ cos a ‘machinedramon virus’ did technically exist, but it was more like just an excuse for why the final boss battle was replayable for your enjoyment. a random digimon would turn into the final boss battle (sans analogman cos he’s Mysteriously Vanished And/Or Potentially Dead seriously that was SUCH A SEQUEL HOOK and they DIDNT TAKE IT) so like seriously they took ANALOGMAN’S ACTUAL VIRUS POSTGAME THING THAT HE MADE and yet no analogman! WHY! and also it fucking sucks to try and base a whole game’s plot on a single dialogueless sidequest that was just an excuse for battle replayability some guy just probably took 0.2 seconds to think ‘yeah maybe the computer the villain left behind does a virus thing to make the boss replayable’ and some fuckin bright spark decided to make an entire game about it IT DOES NOT WORK hell, a good writer could have made it work! if theyd expanded upon the vagueness and explained things! or gave motivations! or used it as a reason for analogman to retURN AND HAVE A FUCKING PLOT seriously WHY did they have to make this game be marketed as A DIRECT SEQUEL TO THE FIRST GAME they were just setting themselves up for failure yo every fucking thing in the game is 100% unrelated except someone else is doing analogman’s signature plan and the protagonist from DW1 makes an entirely pointless cameo just to remind you its supposed to be a sequel and is FAILING

OKAY OKAY SERIOUSLY LETS TALK ABOUT *HIM*

mameo mameo poor mameo you literally only existed to trick people into buying the game with a fake plot that doesnt exist it was marketed as if he’s the villain, and it got everyone curious about it, and then no he isnt he’s just mistaken for the villain once in his introduction as an excuse to drag out another pointless sidequest instead of progressing the plot then he just becomes a mostl;y voiceless useless npc who does more magic unexplained science to magically amke the plot do whatever the writers need it to do without needing to ACTUALLy have a REASON why it HAPPENS, gaAAHHHH he’s just magically a super hacker now, like how jijimon is magically a super hacker now, and blablabla jijimon for some reason couldnt track down the next place the villain would strike but mameo can the end end of mameo’s entire plot gone. oh, aside from a brief mention again that he’s developed a prototype antidote for the machinedramon virus and then it fails. which just exists to be an excuse for another plot to happen without (AGAIAN) any actual reason it happened, or any form of development or player participation. blablabla oh no one of the hero’s friends’s digimon got infected by the virus so now you get a boss battle against them, and they dont have to leave the plot or change or grow cos magic antidote thing turned them back. But it didnt REALLY work, she’ll just turn back into machinedramon in like 50 days or something blah blah. please feel sad for this character you barely know, who is facing no consequences for what they did, but we’re telling you they might maybe sometime in the future, but of course they never will because the plot doesnt actually have a time limit. Also please believe that mameo is useful! and its just ITS JUST SO FRUSTRATING!!! cos mameo is still THE BEST PART OF THE DAMN GAME! he’s the only character who seems to have any damn effort or emotion put into him, his english voiceactor really stands out in a cast of bored-sounding people. It feels like whoever voiced him was maybe actually a fan of the first game? And he gets to sound so cool and act so cool and look so cool and have really good sassy moments and then HAVE NO PRESENCE IN THE PLOT AT ALL! GAHHHHH!! why must you waste EVERYTHING???

ultimately the only real thing this game gave us was finally having a name for DW1 protagonist, and getting to know that he grows up to work with computers and gets to retain his ability to visit the digital world forever, and he still loves his partner [insert name of whatever you called it when you played] but EVEN THAT is fucking wasted!!! They say that Mameo’s original digimon from last time was somehow cursed to be stuck as a digiegg, as an excuse for not.. yknow.. having to canonize any particular partner choice and upset the fans. Even though the postgame cutscene in the first game already canonized Mamemon as his partner and you literally named him for it! (the excuse in-universe is that Mameo is a nickname and we still dont know what his canon name is. also he has a cute mamemon patch sewn on his beanie hat this time! that made my heart melt even as i was grumping about bad plotlines lol) Oh and this is also probably just an excuse for mameo being sidelined with no plot role, like he’s too powerful to let him actually fight or anything :P its making me mad cos im kinda imagining how this game would have worked so much better if mameo actually was the protagonist??? like, have him summoned back to face this new threat, and his powerful digimon is knocked back down to a digiegg and has to start over. i mean the actual protagonist ALREADY HAS THAT PLOT! you literally start as someone who’s EVEN STRONGER than mameo, you have an omegamon and then machinedramon kills it/them and you start over. And like.. if they decided to make a new hero cos they wanted male and female options, honestly just give me a female version of mameo and im fuckin fine. Pokemon Crystal retconned in a female option to a game that didnt have one before, and nobody complained! Oh and they dont even need to justify why mameo is clueless in this setting, cos its literally a different digital world anyway. Somehow. he fell through dimensions or something, they explain it very poorly. (WHAT A SURPRISE) actually, THAT is a huge wasted potential too! cos it means he never even gets to have a tearful reunion with jijimon and other npcs he met last time, instead every digimon that was in DW1 is just explained away as being a parallel universe equivelant that’s never met mameo. SeriouslY WHAT is up with this game and explaining ridiculous excuses to justify their pltoholes instead of just NOT WRITING THE PLOTHOLES??? i mean you could have just said this is like the digital world of the future. just like how mameo’s original adventure had him return to the human world and only one day had passed, maybe the amount of time it took him to grow up is the equivelant of centuries in the digital world? so Floatia could still be a new town, and everyone could be like descendants/reincarnations of the old npcs, and the digital world could have gained a bunch of new areas and etc. EASY EXPLANATION it wasnt necessary to make up a FUCKING HOUR LONG PLOTHOLE VERSION WITH METAVERSE SCIENCE

ALSO why dont we ever get to have any character exploration of like.. anyone?? why doesnt anyone get personality or scenes where you can actually get attatched to them and stuff. why are they just silent floating npcs that do NOTHING and then suddenly are revealed to have had a plot offscreen while you weren’t looking?? literally you are not even introduced to the two male and female friend characters they just.. come into existance in the plot you dont really get a scene of their personality or them getting to know you, or anything?? its just ‘oh i guess two other humans fell into the digital world’ then they sit around as silent npcs for 30 hours while you do everything without them then they just add some miscellaneous comments at the end of a main plot quest and oh i guess its been revealed that female character’s salamon digivolved into gatomon offscreen with no real emotional reason why it had to happen now, or any sign she was even training in the same way you are?? and then that just continues oh i guess she has an angewomon now and then you find out that offscreen her and angewomon were arguing about a problem that was never mentioned before offscreen you dont even SEE them arguing and its like you dont find out what its about no you just get a literal text that her and angewomon had a fight offscreen and angewomon ran away offscreen and hey can you go find her cos for some reason I CANT EVEN DO MY OWN DAMN PLOT then its just ‘oh no please worry that the character youve never even reallY MET has been struggling from a thing never mentioned before, and now she might die from a virus we never saw her get infected with’ and YOU have to defeat her beserk form and cure her and calm her down while her tamer just STANDS THERE and also btw she DIGIVOLVED INTO ANGEWOMON OFFSCREEN IN THE FIRST PLACE so its ‘hey please find my digimon who ran away’ and she’s A DIFFERENT DIGIMON when you find her! its THAT rushed! and then she digivolves again immediately afterwards because somehow being saved by SOMEONE COMPLETELY UNRELATED helped her bond enough with her tamer to become mega level and also the plot of her having the virus is just magically discarded instantly cos WHY NOT And after ALL this bullshit, what is it that they even argued about? it was just The Oldest Trope In The Book, a stupid misunderstanding caused by people not talking about something even though there is no reason why they wouldnt. Angewomon got upset that her tamer wanted to go home to the human world, thinking she’d done something wrong to cause it. And her tamer had just NEVER MENTIONED to anyone ever that she had twin sisters who’re suffering from sitcom disease or something and she’s worried they might not be okay without her. And like.. honestly why did there even NEED to be an excuse why she needed to go home? its natural for someone to miss home, it could have been solved much quicker in like one damn conversation yo. ‘hey i dont want to leave because i dont enjoy having a digimon, its because i have other friends back home too’ And honestly its kinda contrived how angewomon would even not understand that to begin with? this angewomon has a personality like a very young child too, which just makes it even more of a shame that we spend barely any time with her as her rookie form and pretty much never even LEARN that she’s like a little sis figure until this damn sidequest. this is the longest screentime these two ever had, and the first and only time theyre mentioned to have personalities and backstory! and its THEIR FINAL SCENE T_T and seriously it DOESNT EVEN MEAN ANYTHING to see her digivolve into a mega when none of these characters ever actually get to fight, or even exist in the plot theyre just stated to be having their own adventures offscreen. EVERYTHING OFFSCREEN! i mean GAHH the new gameplay even woulda justified this?? like, instead of having two digimon partners maybe you could bring along an assistant character to fight with you! or hell, maybe you could have both! if they can prove they can handle two playable characters onscreen at once then why not three? make everyone like social links that get stronger as you befriend them! and it;’d be a big help to developing your own digimon too, yo! like, these characters are at preset levels to you’re always gonna be able to be more powerful than them if you try. but it makes it less painful when your digimon reincarnates, you could partner up with a champion-level friend and they could help you train out in the field! hell, maybe add a feature of them being able to join in with the training gym too?? that’d be a better excuse for the daily bonuses than just... there’s daily bonuses. why does one particular training gym give better results on thursdays? maybe cos a certain character is there on that day and helps out!

and anyway where was i OH YEAH WHY IS THERE NOT AN ACTUAL CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT PLOT FOR MAMEO IN PARTICULAR he at least got an establishing scene and some cool dialogue, so im more invested in him than the other empty presences in this plot! like, we could have examined his actual emotions about his childhood digimon partner being stuck essentially in a coma with no idea if he’ll ever see them again. a guy hugging the digiegg of his poor dead mamemon is something you’d think they’d give SOME attention to! but he just talks about it so casually as if we should all already know, and then its NEVER MENTIONED AGAIN. It literally IS just an excuse to keep mameo from being able to fight alongside you! more plots! you could have an actual friendship sidequest of him being like your mentor, passing down the torch to the next generation of heroes. we could explore the plot of an adult digimon tamer more! what is it like, is it ever difficult? What is his day to day life even like? its implied that he’s able to go to the digital world at will like the 02 protagonists, so can his mamemon come to the human world too? did he have to take it to school and hide it in his bag like davis and co? did he basically live The Better Written Version Of That Season??? Did his parents ever find out? Does his mamemon still run on digimon world rules, like is the gameplay actually meant to be canon in-universe? does the protagonist digimon only live 10-20 days while everyone else gets to have a good ‘ol long life? has it been sad for mameo that his best friend keeps dying and reviving like 12 times a year, and never remembers him? i really hope thats not how it works, seriously. itd make for a good sad plot tho... And seriously why couldnt this have been the same jijimon in the same town and they get to meet again and we get nostalgic heartwarmingness???

oh and the other ‘friend’ character is even worse, seriously he does absolutely nothing except complain about how upset he is that other people dare to be better than him wah wah but a girl digivolved before me wah he started off looking like a normal cute nerd guy but then he deliberately infects his growlmon with the virus to try and become stronger, and he seems to get off scott free for it?? cos the plot is so vague and undeveloped it rushes through his realizing he’s wrong and it just seems so un-genuine. and we dont even get to see him meeting his digimon again and apologising once he gets reincarnated! its just you see him die horribly cos his tamer infected him with a fucking death virus out of ego that he’s so perfect and so strong he could handle the power. and then you just.. see him again and he’s a baby jyarimon and its all fine. you just see jyarimon following this tamer’s silent npc model around and its like DID YOU EVEN APOLOGISE AT ALL?? apparantly his digimon never even got mad at him or anything about it! it makes me feel so damn sad for the poor guy, i mean he spent so long trying to tell his tamer he’s not useless for not being stronger than the otehrs,a nd blaming himself for not being able to digivolve, and yet STILL tamer guy chose to ignore him and force him to virus-digivolve while he was begging not to! And we dont get to see the consequences for this! we get to see him learn his goddamn canned lesson of the day but we dont get to see him apologise and yukimura the guilmon just reincarnates and goes right back to being a silent mindlessly obedient npc who never complains when he’s mistreated :( and its so fucking stupid cos the plot even started off promising, it started off seeming like the problem was just ‘i’m not strong enough to protect people like you are, protagonist’. but its so badly written it felt like it derailed into him just being egotistical?? and whining about being blessed with this magical monster pal who isnt THE BEST magical monster pal so why even fucking bother. and the game acts like he’s justified cos he has ~a boring school life~. He has no problems at all but he’s just AVERAGE and not THE BEST, and oh gosh that terrible terrible fate has just worn down on him and made him have no self confidence. except yknow for all the scenes where he’s screaming ‘IM THE BEST, I DESERVE THIS’ throughout this fucking stupid plot... its like i can see what he was supposed to be, but they really failed??? i think i would have liked what he was SUPPOSEd to be... also it sucks that yukimura’s evil digivolution is inexplicably skullgreymon instead of megidomon (i think thats the name?) Yknow, the one guilmon actually turned into in tamers and it only had a one episode appearance but it was really scary cool! man it never gets to reappear in the games, no wonder i keep forgetting its name :P

aaaaargh and i just listened to the final battle music on the soundtrack and i havent got that far yet but i just know its NOT GONNA BE AS GOOD AS THIS SONG DESERVES im getting so much feels imagining what if the final boss actually WAS analogman from the first game, and if the supporting characters ACTUALLY HAD CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT and they could fight alongside you to defeat him once and for all! and what if this game’s status as the direct sequel to DW1 wasnt just a fucking baldfaced lie. seriously why didnt they just remove this nonsense plot and let it be its own original thing, if they werent gonna actually put effort into making the cameos actually decent.... MAMEO YOU DESERVED SO MUCH BETTER AAAAA

#bunni plays next order #im sorry im just full of grump #this soundtrack is SO good #god it deserved a more emotionally resonant final boss to match it
