#kido thoughts

[kidokear]

The new ULTRAKILL update got me wanting to see Gabriel realizing that the war machine that defeated him, the one he considered unbreakable, can be and is afraid of death. That they can feel fear in a very living and human way. See them terrifies out of their code. Feel their terror. Understand that they want to scream but can't.

They are so rattled it shakes him.

"I depend on you..." "Do I or do you?"

My take on the "I depend on you" art trend from Twitter✨ Every now and then I want to draw something with bright colors... and blood

Finished Saint Seiya's Sanctuary Arc.

Overall, I enjoyed it a lot! Looking forward to what the next arcs have for Athena and the Bronze Saints.

i know this is mega out of loop but i just decided to draw on this old halloween sketch which was in the same place as saebaba kitties which i think i haven't posted here

[paledeep]

i crunched thru kamen rider blade in two weeks tbh so this is definitely word soup isv but one of my fav things about it is how names decree power and utility. like ofc using given/family name shows familiarity but its so very character specific

kenzaki to never have anyone use his given name throughout the show (to my memory pleaaase correct me i would love to be wrong) shows his comfortability with being a hero, something so out of reach and transient, and with keeping people even his loved ones away from him emotionally. i think its also interesting and notable that he doesnt have anyone using his given name at all to the end bc i like the implications that he sets that boundary himself . no attachments makes leaving easier bc he never expects a home to stay and it reminds him from what and of where he comes from

hajime ofc is hajime before being aikawa. genuinely could talk about him and autism and disability forever that is another topic but hajime is called so many things throughout blade. but when ppl call him, its usually hajime, where we lose the respect or affection expected socially that grants someone to use the given name, or aikawa (tachibana and kotaro in my head are notable) to create that distance. the only thing that belongs to him truly is the name hajime and he is that before anything else

also riders who started being riders due to job : family names and riders who fight for identity : given names

I wanna talk about Jou’s crest a lil bit…I think his situation is also very interesting due to the fact that the dub changed his crest like Mimi’s. I will be honest, and this is very controversial, I do not think reliability suits him. I’d argue a huge part of his character is that he’s not that reliable, and he dislikes this fact about himself. He FEELS like he should be because he’s the oldest, but he really struggles to be someone the others can count on until the series progresses. I could definitely see an argument for reliability fitting him later in the series, but it’s not his most prominent quality and that’s what the crests are.

A common theme in a lot of Jou’s big moments is that he’s ridiculously reckless, he puts himself in extremely dangerous situations to save others (some examples being ep23 & ep36). Jou goes into these situations without a real plan, and simply acts based on his emotions and his wanting to help his friends. Which makes emotions he feels during these moments are extremely sincere, extremely genuine. That is why I think crest of sincerity fits him so well. I do think reliability and sincerity can go hand in hand, but his sincerity is what stands out more and I think it makes more sense than what the American dub chose.

Jou is a really interesting character, and I think his crest is especially…watching him grow from absolutely horrified of the situation and worrying about the little things, to dropping everything for those he cares about is just so good. Pay attention to Jou a bit more when you find yourself watching adventure…

im just rewatching a lot of stuff so hear me out

with the adventure 99 kids, the only way they know how to interact with digimon is if the world is at stake. there is a definite Divide of the human and digital world. the hikarigaoka and odaiba fog incident seals the deal with them. next time theyre called, diaboromon is rampaging the internet, and they can finally see their friends again. they had to part ways, and deal with growing without them first.

with the 02 cast, the worlds intertwine. they deal with enemies that interact with them in both worlds and have influence in both. by episode 50, the digimon being at home is a pretty open secret. they do everything together and in the 02 cast were a part of the incidents.

thats why kizuna was so jarring for them. at least taichi, yamato and sora. with the digimon now being more known, they could take them to class. they could have lunch out with them. however, there is definitely a cloud of 'I have only seen them in a life-threatening situation, what can I do with them' thoughts that's blocking them from having fun with them.

jou's arc in adventure especially speaks out to me. his issues are especially why he and gomamon are still together. its because of the issues at home. in the digital world, he learns the value of reliability in his own way. his own choice, as both a Chosen Child and as a person.

dealing with problems that relate to human social issues is hard for the 99 digidestined because all they know dealing with problems is to fight their way through it. it doesn't pass their thoughts that the digimon themselves are related to their own personal issues.

GabV1el Headcanon:

I'd like to think that, at the start, they get blown away by the smallest acts of kindness given by the other, and will forever be touched by them.

I mean, for V1, it's a whole new experience, a new feeling. Because they are a machine, a decommissioned war machine at that (Not much interactions with good natured humans), I don't imagen they experienced thoughtful small gestures. So when Gabriel does something small but kind for them (and back then probably not knowing if it would be appreciated), it's just so foreign, but also so welcomed because it makes them feel acknowledge as living being.

Gabriel? He's no stranger to kind actions (giving or receiving them), so you'd think he'd be unfazed, but no, he's very taken a back (in a good way). Because, at the start at least, I don't think he'd expect it from V1 (given their history and while he knows that they're alive and capable of expression and personhood, he also knows that machines are different from anything he encountered and shouldn't put expectation of the familiar on them even if there are some overlaps here and there) or at least he won't expect a heartfelt, thoughtful, kindness, and, most importantly, I can see Gabriel coming to terms that once he's cut the Council down, he'd be cut from everything associated with Heaven, and that's involved kindness. So to receive it after the fact, from anyone, and for this person to be the machine that beats him twice in battle and started the domino effect, yeah, it was a surprise. And it's genuine, not an act of worship, no a care for his status, and not something that comes naturally by design. Just V1 wanting and making an effort to do something nice for him.

V1 is given something new. Gabriel is given something he fully believed he lost forever.

They both trans so they just switched names

In other news, I am now a Saint Seiya fan.

Specifically, I'm eight volumes into the manga (Seiya and co. have gone to Greece to fight Sanctuary) and started watching the anime (at the pace I'm at, I'll finish the manga before the anime). I'll check out the spin-offs later on.

[aftokrator-official]

so I've been concocting this Afto swap AU with @freshdickies which started as an excuse for haiizu/ranazu and... continues to be, tbh, but with more and more characters roped in. here's the first half of the invasion team 👀

Cross Thought II on Quiet Park

[proficdigimonstuff]

I have more unimportant headcanons sooo here.

What the original digidestined would listen to while driving.

-Tai listens to pop while in the car(if he ever gets one)

-Matt has an assortment of several music genres for his car rides.

-Izzy would just listen to classical/Beethoven music.

-T.K would listen to hip-hop.

-Joe cannot listen to anything because he'll get distracted and run himself into a tree or something.

-Kari would be the one to surprisingly listen to heavy metal.

-Mimi would listen to Jazz.

-Sora listens to instrumental blues as it for some ironic reason is relaxing for her.
