sincerity at its finest

hi there @bacomon-art-blog​!!! it’s me, your secret santa! merry christmas!

this is my first time writing something focusing on iori and jyou and i hope i was able to do them right. and adventure and 02 are also my favorites so i was still a little familiar with the feels. this is an au fic though, so sadly no digimon partners because i felt like it would be too forced and a little crowded for the plot, huhu, i’m sorry :(

so a few notes i would like to say before we begin the gift ; i apologize for being late, stuff happened, although no emergencies or anything negative in you are wondering, but lotsa busy and last minute stuff plus works and a change of plot / i had an original idea that i really liked and it was heading the right direction but not the direction i wanted, so i made some changes and although i love what i’ve written, i’m still scared you won’t like it, but i hope you do! / i had a lot of fun writing this but i think it’s too short :( but i swear i love it and that’s something to me because i hate writing short stories for people who deserve more / this focuses more on iori but i put in some jyou x iori friendship in it / also, the title, omg i thought that was very smart of me (or not?) hahaha / and finally, this has been edited just a few times so please don’t expect any perfection huhuhu

...and so, let’s go!

sincerity at its finest | main characters ; iori hida, jyou kido | pairings ; slight takeru x hikari | genre ; friendship | word count ; 1,000 | rating ; g

Iori Hida was not particularly one of those to have a large group of friends. He had Miyako and the others, but sometimes, he felt like he never quite fit in. They were loud and exciting, while he was shy and reserved. He loved his friends dearly, but he still felt…out of place. He also knew that his friends loved him, too. But he could not help but feel like he did not belong.

“Iori,” Miyako greeted, a smile on her face. She had come from the opposite direction and was waving as she approached him. “Are you still coming to the party later?”

He nodded. “Of course, why wouldn’t I go?”

Her smile softened. “It’s just…you haven’t been yourself lately. I know the holidays aren’t really your thing but I promise that spending time with us will be worth it.”

Iori nodded. “I know it will.”

Miyako grinned and pumped her fist in the air, “That’s the spirit!” Then she chuckled. “I’ll go ahead, I promised Mimi that I’d take care of the food.” She clasped her hands together and closed her eyes, a grin still on her face. “I would never break a promise to her.”

Iori gave a small smile. Miyako idolized Mimi to bits and pieces, he sometimes wondered if Mimi found it uncomfortable or amusing. ‘Probably the latter,’ he thought. “I’ll see you later then.” Miyako patted his head and said goodbye.

Iori sighed once she was out of sight. The hallway was not as crowded, which does not happen so often. It seemed everyone was inside the classrooms planning events or hangouts for the break. His pace was his usual, slow and steady but alert. He hoped to one day be like the schoolmates he had, secure and confident.

Later that day, the party had begun in the room they rented. The place was specifically made for gatherings of people who wanted their privacy. He and his friends all chipped in to pay for their event, it was not too expensive. It was not just his core group that was there, their friends from the higher batches were also attending.

He was a little intimated by them but they always made him feel welcome and treated him as an equal.

He and Takeru had come together as they were both on cleaning duty for their respective classrooms.

“I’m really excited,” Takeru said. “We do this all the time, and we’re always meeting up, but specific gathers always excite me.” He smiled. “What about you, Iori?”

Iori nodded. “I get nervous,” he admitted. “But it always ends up great.”

Takeru agreed. “We’re really lucky, you know. Finding our friends.” Iori’s ears perked. “Especially our senpais, they’re really great.”

“But your older brother is one of them,” Iori pointed out. “You grew up with them.”

Takeru smiled. “That’s true, yes. But I don’t think it matters to them whether we grew up together or not.”

Iori knew what Takeru was saying but did not want to say it out loud. He was talking about him, Miyako, Daisuke, and Ken. They were the “freshmen”, friends Takeru and Hikari brought in. But the senpais were nice, very nice. He felt welcome, and though he had those thoughts of being detached as compared to everyone else, he felt their sincerity.

They finally arrived and saw that the party had already started. “Nothing like a grand entrance,” Takeru said with a chuckle.

Iori giggled and agreed. As he and Takeru entered, he noticed that everyone mixed and mingled. Miyako was talking to Sora and Koushiro, Hikari was with Taichi and Yamato, Daisuke seemed to be ranting to Jyou, and Ken and Mimi had smiles on their faces. Takeru started to walk, heading for Daisuke and Jyou while Iori went to get some food.

He watched the others talk and laugh, but Hikari, Taichi, and Yamato seemed to be in serious mode. He had just finished his food when he heard his name being called by Jyou. He stood frozen for a while. Like Miyako idolized Mimi, Iori idolized Jyou.

“Hi,” Iori greeted them when he arrived at their group.

“We were just talking about Takeru’s gift for Hikari,” Daisuke said a little sourly. Daisuke had a huge crush on Hikari but everyone knew that she and Takeru were endgame. “He’s scared she wouldn’t like it.”

Jyou chuckled. “That’s just how puppy love is.”

Iori smiled. “What about it?”

As they talked, Iori could not help but actually feel the rapport he had with them. They asked for his opinions and valued whatever he said. He would even cast some silly, corny jokes, which he rarely did, but their laughs were genuine.

“I have to talk to Ken,” Daisuke said. “Excuse me.”

Takeru nodded and smiled. “Mimi said she wanted to talk to me about something, too.”

Iori was left with Jyou, and surprisingly, he did not feel any awkwardness. “How’ve you been, Iori?” Jyou asked.

“Doing good,” he replied. “Exams are done but the thought of passing or not won’t change.”

Jyou scoffed. “I know exactly what you mean.” He shook his head. “But let’s not talk about school, I’m not ready to go back.”

Iori did not know how Jyou’s academic life worked and a part of him did not want to know for now. Just as he was about to ask what his senpai was going to do for Christmas, Jyou cut him off.

“Are you done Christmas shopping?”

Iori nodded. “I’ve got gifts for everyone. I’m just hoping you’ll all like it.”

“You all?” Jyou cocked his head. “Me included?”

“Why do you seem surprised?”

Jyou stared at him for a few seconds before smiling and shaking his head. “Forget that, let it be a surprise.”

It was a massive bewilderment for Iori. He talked to every single participant in the party and not once did he feel any negativity. When the event was done, they all said their goodbyes and headed home. He, Miyako, and Takeru walked together until Yamato called out to them and accompanied them home.

It was finally Christmas and everyone had given their gifts to everyone. He was very shocked when he received gifts from the senpais as well–all of them. On Christmas day, Iori was trying his best not to look at his mother whenever he would grab a present and read the cards. He knew his mother was doing her best not to cry, cry because of happiness. He could see from the corner of his eye that her lips were quivering.

“You received a lot this year,” his grandfather said.

It had been a while but Iori’s heart soared, and he felt the love. Not just because of the gifts he received, but because the friendships he made with each member were not shallow, nor was it a facade. He knew there was a deep connection between them as a group and each of them individually.

“They’re the most sincere people I know.”

Digimon Related Stuff

I’ve wanted for a long while to write a few opinions I had about Digimon Adventure and Zero Two, specially about the ending. I’d love to read other people opinions as this one is just mine and we all can have different ones. ( I’m not talking about Tamers, but Tamers were even better in some mature and emotional stuff.) I know that it’s a bit useless as I can´’t change anything but I just wanted to write them, and now that Last Evolution Kizuna and the new series are announced I thing it’s a good time. I’m a bit worried about the new series as it seems to be a new story with same characters or something like this and I didn’t like when it happened to other series like Inazuma Eleven, in which it seemed that the characters were for fanservice and the nice development and story they had in the original was lost. Anyways Digimon is part of my heart since day 1 and I’ll see it and I hope I’ll be delight with the new stories.  In my opinion Digimon Adventure was wonderfull, being a child show in that time it talks about some important stuffs, and it has a depth that even if it could be more explored it’s fine as it’s aimed for children and me, as a child, found it great like it was. Like Doremi, I’m amazed about how in both series it’s shown different kind of families and relationships, someones being helthy and others not so much. And also the reactions to death, a dead brother, dead friends... dead Leomon once again and to the weight of responsability that makes Taichi lost confidence or Sora almost in the end of Adventure had a big depression. And in Zero Two BlackWarGreymon looking for who he is, that’s really interesting, BlackWarGreymon was one of best characters to me. Going back to families, in Digimon we have divorced parents, adoptive parents, strict parents, absent father, sick sister and more, and it’s said about how it makes their children act. And what’s best in my opinion is that these parents (most of them) get involved in the story and help their children fighting the bad digimons, each one as they can. Yamato’s father, Sora’s mother and Koushirou’s parents are the most involved. While the others give their support as much as they can. But in Digimon they don’t need to “kill the parents” to give freedom of moving to the children, parents help as much as they can, sometimes just being sure they eat enough. And improving their relationships with their children. About Zero Two, while a lot of people didn’t like it and myself find Adventure better, is also a good series. They had other issues, I think it’s more focused in siblings that in parents but also in the “who I am” as I said with BlackWarGreymon. Who I am is a topic that appears all the time and that every main character has to overcome, altough Ken and BlackWarGreymon take more time and importance. Also Daisuke is a sunshine boy, he was ready to die for his friends in the beguinning. And then it come the epilogue, and well, I didn’t like it, as many people. I’m not salty about it, the characters aren’t us, but some of the things that happened were like... “why”. And this could haven been answered along the series to not be so shocked. I’m going to talk about the chosed jobs for each child. When I saw the first time the epilogue I only understand the reason for 4, the others were truly unexpected. Taichi [8/10], as a child I dislike a lot his job but now I can understand why it’s important for him. He is the ambassador of Digital Work. I think Sora would fit this job too, but Taichi is the Leader so it’s okay. I only would like more if they focused it in Taichi and Agumon being the spokespeople of Digimon wih Children and other Digimon being the spokesmon of the Digimon without Children. And do you know how could have been? Leomon. So ending picture of Taichi and Agumon shaking hands with Leomon about agreeing some important stuff. To me it’d have been perfect.  Yamato [0/10], this one was the most unexpected in a bad way. I didn’t understand why or how Yamato ended as astronaut. Like... cheff? ok, musician? great, Taichi’s right hand in gobernment? amazing. Astronaut?... hell no. But I supposed they had their reasson altough I can’t understand it yet. I would have like if Yamato would have being side by side with Taichi, being the second man with Gabumon being the second Digimon. Or being the headmasters of an organitation to help Digimon that enter Human World by mistake to go back to Digiworld. Also continuing with the Music Career would have been amazing. A group with Humans and Digimon maybe?  Sora [4/10] I didn’t like Sora’s work at all either. In Tri they try to give a reason behind it but... Not enough. Trough the series Sora is portrayed as a strong and indepent woman but most important also Leader and Sportive. I’d have like if she would continue with something sportive. Yes, it can be a Hobby, but even if it’d have been good developed I’d have like more if she continued with her mother’s Ikebana’s tradition.  Koushirou [10/10] What else could have he been? Just perfect to him. I’d also have like to see Wallace and Miyako working with him, but Koushirou’s focusing, just perfect. Mimi [2/10] How a girl who adds sugar and cream to a fried egg endep as Cheff? Mimi culinary’s art are shown in the series (even in Tri) as horribles. But as a little kids Teacher... I think this job suits her more than to Hikari. Mimi is caring, with a gold heart as it’s seeing her growing from being selfish to being really sweet. I’d have like that Mimi would become a Teacher and Teaches the importance about living with Digimons. Jyou [10/10] Same that with Koushirou, this rol just fits him so much I couldn’t see him being something different. He started not wanting to become a doctor, but trough the series and seeing how his friends become injured and even dying, he changes he mind. It’s good developed in the series and I liked it a lot. Takeru [7/10] I didn’t like but also didn’t dislike, I’m neutral about this. I didn’t know what I could like for him better as it’s not showed anything. Maybe something that can help agains evils? But writing stories can be a good way to do too. Hikari [7/10] She said she wanted to become a teacher and she did. But with her character I would see her more being a Reporter. She likes the truth, enlight the things and it would have been a good way to do. But I’m fine with her being a Teacher just because in canon it’s said it was her dream. Daisuke [?/10] I just don’t know how to feel. Same that with Hikari, he sais it was his dream but... I found it so strange that Daisuke wanted to have a Noodles’ Restaurant. I think they should have explained why in canon. Just that. Miyako [2/10] I understand being at home as a house keeper is important but she had so much potential with informatics, she could work as a programmer from home or something like that. I also didn’t understand why she married Ken... like she couldn’t understand him at all, I always found Miyako crush on Ken strange and not really healthy, but well... I hope in Kizuna this would be good developed.

Iori [10/10] He was another one I really liked, I loved how he went from being so hard with “good or evil” to understand that maybe villains aren’t so bad and that they can be helped with compassion. It’s the one I like the most, because Jyou or Koushirou were easy choices, but with Iori, I was surprised to good. Ken [10/10] I also like this one a lot, he did bad in the past, he knew he did bad and then he tried to do good because it’s his life and his way to make the world a better place. Being a Police to help others with everything. I liked, I liked a lot it. And these are my opinions, I don’t know if someone would read them but I just wanted to share them! And as I said, I’d love to read other people’s ones, specially abot what everyon would have like them to work as adults? Just tell me!

All Likes and Reblogs are welcome and very much appreciated ♡

A new collab and I must admit that I prefer Dino's copic colours. She tried some water colouring here because I made the Lines far too thin. Even though her copic colourations are a lot better, I like how the colours turned out. It seems as if Gomamon is kind of glowing while the school books look like a dark shadow. I feel you, Jou, really. HOwever, try to make Gomamon feel like the ray of hope he is <3 I love Gomamon in Digimon Tri a lot. He cares so much and I really feel that they finally get some attention from the series' writers. Gomamon is concerned about Jou studying a lot and brings him some Chahan. I bet it's tasty.

I'm curious - what does Ishimaru using -kun for women as well mean? (He did that, right? It's been a long time...). I figured it had to do with his "hall monitor" persona, but never completely understood the how.

I have noticed a trend in fictional characters that use -kun for girls--they often (but not always) tend to be characters more hung up on rules or protocol. For another example, Kidou Jyou from Digimon also uses -kun for girls. Meanwhile, one of my coworkers does this irl, too.It isn't technically incorrect, just uncommon. Like girls using "boku" outside of song lyrics.

I'm still obsessed with the new Digimon Adventure Beyond PV concept art for Taichi and Yamato - and even if it doesn't come close, I tried to emulate the style at least a little bit!

August 1st Countdown: 6 Days of Reliability 🩶

[seventeenlovesthree]

It's been a while, but since the Reboot Sequel won the AU poll, I decided to work on the remaining designs as "chibis". Taichi, Hikari, Koushirou and Sora had been the first back in 2022, Mimi followed quite a while later in 2023 - and now they were finally joined by Yamato, Takeru and Jyou. Now I only need to settle on what I want to do with them...

[seventeenlovesthree]

Words cannot describe how much I ADORE this most recent piece of official art - and yet, I'll try regardless!

First of all, let's appreciate how consistently they are using all characters' associated colours; I've always appreciated how official art varied between signature (= Crest) colours, but still made sure to include colours the characters actually would canonically wear. (Jyou might be the biggest exception here, because while I'd say that dark blue is his associated colour, purple and all kinds of muted colours like beige are pretty typical for him.) It's just perfectly conducted: On one hand, all these outfits are layered, thus providing a sense of potential variety - just in case they would be used for an actual series (because a girl can dream); on the other hand, they are very fashionable pretty age appropriate for them!

While I would say that Mimi's prim and proper fashionista piece is my favourite among all of them, I am especially fascinated by Sora's outfit: not only did they give her a college jacket, which is a design choice I came up for her around two years ago and that I'm still very proud of; it's just the perfect mix of tomboyishly cute and it makes me cry: Soft colours, hairclips and thigh-highs contrast her shorts, sneakers and college jacket. Absolutely perfect.

Taichi's effortlessly chill jock ensemble gets a special mention due to the fact that his pants also look eerily similar to the design I gave him back then... Yamato looks incredibly comfy and cuddly and I adore it. Jyou's nerd aesthetic will never not be adorable. And can we appreciate Koushirou actually wearing a colour coordinated ensemble for once? Granted, we can assume that his mom picked the outfit, boyish, cuddly and dorky. Takeru's fashionista career is also starting early and Hikari always looks like she's on her way to another birthday party - adorable.

The food choices are of course remarkable too and together with the layered clothes approach, we can assume that it's all Spring/Hanami themed. Of course Sora gets a flower theme again, Mimi and Hikari are incredible sweet tooths; Gomamon's fish shaped taiyaki is just too perfect; Yamato making practical rice balls feels very canonical for him, as well as Takeru ordering a Happy Meal hamburger; giving Kou and Tentomon dango instead of mochi is a missed opportunity, but still adorable; and I do like to imagine that Taichi and Agumon are eating chicken nuggets to honour the dinosaur nugget meme. XD

In sum: 10/10 designs, I am in love.

Festive Vibes in April - Part I [Part II]

[seventeenlovesthree]

We're eating well, once again.

Mimi: Holds up the flag with the Crests of her two primary love interests in particular, a MOOD. Also still the only one thoroughly committed to wearing her associated colours, red and pink, so we know, all the budget went into Mimi's design once again and nobody can blame the lead designer, because she is gorgeous.

Sora: Which is why they didn't have enough budget to give Sora pants too, which is a shame. The only one to wear her signature colour (Yamato doesn't count, because they ALL wear blue) and... A telescope... A telescope... Still an insanely pretty ensemble overall.

Hikari: Will never stop munching on sweets, no matter what happens. Which is what she deserves.

Jyou: "YOU HELD THE MAP THE WRONG WAY, NOW WE ARE LOST AND NEVER GONNA MAKE IT BACK, AAAAAAAAAAAAH."

Yamato: "Wasn't Taichi on map duty anyway?" (He seems to have captain privileges, probably because of previous swan boat skills.)

Taichi: "Jyou wanted to take over, so I didn't stop him..." (HE LOOKS SO COOL, UGH. Also, aside from that, I like that he may just be "second in command" here? We know he is used to take charge, but also that he's not always wanting to be in the lead. Plus, at that age, never give him a map. N e v e r.)

Koushirou & Takeru: *just doing their own thing, living their best lives on the kids' table with Hikari*

[seventeenlovesthree]

@joukidoweek Prompt: Relationships

Even though this is not exactly a new drawing, I still thought it was appropriate to bring up again. Looking at Jyou's relationships with the others is one of my favourite past-times, because he is one of the few who does have elaborated moments with almost all of them. Mimi and Iori are very strong contenders in this regard, since he shares the most heart-felt, most open moments overall with them; then again, I also enjoy his protective nature towards Takeru, the rare moments of "mom and dad-ness" he shares with Sora; his moments with Taichi and Koushirou are also pretty underrated.

But in addition to the bit I said about Mimi and Iori, the same also applies to Yamato - because I personally feel like these two are capable of bringing the best out of each other and it fills my heart with joy.

This comic is a little bit more light-hearted, a fun interpretation of why Jyou's and Yamato's hairstyles were so similar in 02... Because these two greatly inspire each other. Granted, Jyou managed to inspire a lot of people through the course of the series, my favourite example still being the stageplay... But without Yamato, Jyou wouldn't have contemplated looking for his own path as thoroughly as he did in the first place. And without Jyou getting inspired like this, Yamato may have not been able to break out of some of his darkest moments himself either (including the stageplay, once again). He also makes his softer side come through more easily...

I wish we could see more of them spending time, bonding over their familial relationships not being the easiest, about being protective big bros for Takeru, over shaking their heads over Taichi... Because I love them, your honour.

Ficlet Digimon Challenge - Freestyle: Yamato & Mimi

Summary: Koushirou is fascinated with getting to know the human world (and a certain human being) better. Yamato thinks that's a very bad idea. Mimi thinks he needs to stop being a sourpuss for the sake of friendship and love. [Based on the concept of The Little Mermaid Taishirou AU]

Word count: 400 technically, it's still 100 words for every character involved, so it counts?

(Yamato and Mimi had been the winners of the poll linked above, but up until Mermay, I had no idea how to write about them, so... You could say lightning really hit this time!)

„I’m against this.”

With some forceful strokes of his fishtail, Yamato swam ahead of the group. They had just discussed visiting the surface once more – and Mimi wasn’t having any of his anti-attitude, so she followed him immediately. Jyou had been staying behind with Koushirou – the culprit of the situation they currently found themselves in.

“What’s your problem?,” Mimi asked him once she had caught up, swimming a few loops around him before pointing back at Koushirou. “I mean, look at him, he’s in love!“

Yamato sighed.

“That is not ‘love’, that is… ‘Infatuation’, it’s his brain telling him that, just because he finds this world interesting, a random human is interesting too.”

Koushirou had indeed been fascinated with the human world before. His never-ending curiosity had caused them to end up going to the surface several times already and now, after he had rescued a human man from drowning, things seemed to have gotten worse. Much worse in Yamato’s eyes.

“You really are a sourpuss about this.”

Yamato sighed again, so Mimi stopped swimming in loops for a second.

“All I am saying is that Jyou is right, merfolk should not mingle with humans and we can’t risk peace down here just because Koushirou has decided to become a human-enthusiast!”

Blinking at him a few more times, Mimi simply poked his side, causing him to flinch.

“… Are you jealous, Yamato-san? Is that it?”

Looking at her as if she had lost her mind, he blinked back.

“… What?”

“You wanna meet a good-looking human to fall in love with too, admit it, you find it exciting!”

This time, he couldn’t help but groan a little bit louder. What happened that all his friends were suddenly into romance?!

“You haven’t listened to anything I have said, have you…,” Yamato said in a defeated tone, just to get poked in the cheek – a bit more softly.

“Okay, maybe don’t fall in love, but it wouldn’t harm you to make more friends. Look more closely.”

Mimi gently turned his head towards Koushirou, who was excitedly chatting with Jyou, glowing and beaming.

“Do you remember the last time he was that gleeful? Shouldn’t we support him? As his friends?”

Something in him had to agree with Mimi, it was a nice sight indeed – and he hated himself for admitting it.

“… Boy, what a soft shell I am turning out to be…”
