enlightenmonth 2022! ✨

hello fireflies! thank you for filling out the interest check. we are pleased to announce another enlightenmonth this year, which will be held in may 2022, because it is said that fireflies start to emerge late spring, just before the summer ;)

— how does this work? enlightenmonth is a one-month challenge, with prompts changing every four days to give more time to prepare. for each span, there are two prompts available. feel free to pick one of the prompts for each day, or if you are up for some challenge, you can always mix both. pick both prompts for two different works? why not!

— but i can't join in may! no worries; do your own enlightenmonth in any other months! if you want to start early on march or april, please do too! (also, you can always put your submissions on queue/schedule too...)

— i can only join on the first week!

this is a very chill challenge, so do not feel pressured or obliged! it's okay for you not to finish, only participate in several days (because you're busy or you're not clicked with the prompts), or even participate simply as an observer.

— what kind of things i can post? any fan contents (art, fic, video, headcanons, etc). no specific genre or boundaries (language, rate, etc) as long as they are about the relationship of koushiro izumi and hikari yagami—which may also include their best partners, tentomon and tailmon. what kind of relationship, you ask? anything. platonic friends, brother-sister, romantic, or even rivalries.

— what are the prompts? day 1-4: friends/family day 5-8: work/holiday day 9-12: dance/music day 13-16: rain/shine day 17-20: fall/bloom day 21-24: magic/science day 25-28: go out/stay in prompted challenge officially ends on day 28, but for day 29, 30 and 31, you have the liberty to do anything you like. post other koukari things that are not prompt-related? sure! publish the works from any other days you weren't able to finish timely? go ahead! take a break and do nothing? yes, you deserve it!

— how can i interpret the prompts? any way you like, literally or figuratively. just because it goes with rain, shine doesn't always mean sunshine. fall, besides autumn, can also mean falling in love... or falling to the trap of piemon, perhaps.

— any specific tags? we're always tracking #koukari, and please don't forget about it as our aim is to spread more love to this dynamic. you can add #enlightenmonth or #enlightenmonth 2022.

let's illuminate the fandom with koukari! (graphic source credit to graffart and grave of fireflies)

sunkissed love; a taiora playlist for lovers who love each other like the sun radiates the earth. (youtube / spotify)

01. wonder - shawn mendes i wonder what it's like to be loved by you 02. used to you - mxmtoon say your feelings to me so i won't overthink mine 03. you're the best thing about me - u2 i'm the kind of the trouble that you enjoy 04. beautiful to me - olly murs you're so amazing, don't you know? 05. thunder - boys like girls your voice was the soundtrack of my summer; so bring on the rain and bring on the thunder 06. she is love (full band version) - parachute i've been beaten down, i've been kicked around, but she takes it all for me 07. built to last - mêlée 'cause you are the sun in my universe 08. best friend - rex orange county i still wanna be your favorite boy 09. give me a try - the wombats we could be gigantic, this could be worth the risk bonus track: i love you - billie eilish you didn't mean to say "i love you"; i don't want to, but i love you...

part 3 of lovers in japan series track-by-track commentaries;

IT'S TAIORA TIMEEEEE!!

honestly i want to keep this on my draft a little longer (*cough* maybe i can save it for taiora week *cough*), but @dutchforstrangers gave me some encouragement to let this out a bit faster... so here it is.

remember when i said on my koukari mixtape that my playlists are gonna be messy in terms of the storyline? well, this is the messiest. i think i kind of overthink this playlist because i want it to be perfect. it's my ultimate otp after all. i really hope this turns good.

two of the songs are already included in @patamonn's mixtape post, which you should all check it because bree's works are awesome. aside lynn, i want to dedicate this playlist to my sora sister @sorasfishing! i hope you keep thriving in anything you do and don't forget to get some rest :D (although this playlist is more up to beat and not really suitable for leisure time lmao) (well, taiora's the kind of couple who's full of spirit anyway)

01. wonder - shawn mendes

i was struggling to find a way to start this playlist. most songs i had gathered somehow would sound better if i put them in the middle. this song suddenly appeared on my suggestions and i remembered the first time this was released, i... didn't really like it lmao.

but now i love it so much. the music is majestic and very... taichi-like, if i can put it that way. the last beat of the drums sounds adventurous and seems like a good prologue for a journey ahead.

and yeah, what better way to start other than our main guy wondering what it's like to be loved by the beautiful lady who owns the sky?

02. used to you - mxmtoons

i was thinking of two mxmtoons songs for the playlist: either this song, or falling for u. although falling for u sounds more fitted to the theme of "realising you have feelings for your best friend but too afraid to tell him" (you should totally listen and check the lyrics here), i settled on used to you because of two reasons. first, the music of falling for u is too cozy for this rather rock playlist.

second, for me, used to you has a more... personal touch? i mean i can put falling for u for a takari playlist and it'll still be a good fit, but used to you is more of a taiora song. in the official commentary, the song is told to be about the turbulence of a new relationship. but in my point of view, this could be about how sora became too used to taichi's presence.

the first verse is somewhat a description of sora's insecurity. as she grew up, she wanted to become a better part of society (that was why she turned to tennis, dressing more femininely...). this kind of thought is a bit overwhelming, and knowing sora, of course she would overthink them. since 02 did taiora very dirty we never knew how taichi really felt about these changes and i am pretty sure that sora actually wanted to know his opinion because he knew her the best.

move on to the chorus: "i've been spending all my time, sitting by the phone just waiting for a call. i used to wanna be alone 'til your name was in my phone, now i'm getting kinda used to you." look, i still believe that sora's an introvert. but if taichi called her, she'd be there in a heart beat. (also, think about that scene in tri where she got so stressed with taichi informing his soccer game a little too late. bet she'd been waiting for him to invite her from the very beginning.)

03. you're the best thing about me - u2

this is just a general love song, but the line "i'm the kind of trouble that you enjoy" is very cheeky i can imagine taichi saying it to sora with so much confidence.

04. beautiful to me - olly murs

if you're listening to this playlist on spotify, i will kindly suggest you to switch momentarily to youtube because for this specific song, you have to watch the music video so you can get a more taiora vibe.

the video is about two childhood friends that always there for each other but never really talks about the feeling until one of them is almost getting married. get it? (although yeah, the girl is more of a badass than sora and the boy is too aloof as taichi's counterpart.)

the song itself is just the singer trying to convince the girl that she is beautiful no matter what. i always feel like sora has a lack of confidence about herself, so this is taichi pulling her into a realisation.

05. thunder - boys like girls

this is a tribute to our war game (a.k.a. THE PEAK OF TAIORA CINEMATIC UNIVERSE), especially the dub version with that "you say you love thunderstorm." i think when you look at the chorus of this song, you'll get it why i put the song here.

06. she is love - parachute

i have to choose the full band version because the og version is too slow. the title seems to be... a description of sora? i mean she IS love, right? :p but yeah, i think this song is an illustration on how sora will still take taichi despite his recklessness.

spoiler alert: one of my digiweek submission will be taiora with this song :p

07. built to last - mêlée

i was in doubt whether i had to put this song on this playlist, but the line "you are the sun in my universe" convinced me. also, "all of our friends saw from the start, so why didn't we believe it too?"!? gee. everyone saw it, you two. you are meant to last indeed.

08. best friend - rex orange county

okay, this is the part where everything gets a bit... bittersweet.

picture this: sora gets a boyfriend. idc who the boyfriend is, but it's definitely not taichi. this is the perfect song because taichi will surely regret why he didn't confess to sora earlier. still, he wants to be her favourite boy no matter what. even the part when the singer says "but i still wanna break your heart and make you cry" is just taichi's way of joking.

09. give me a try - the wombats

this is actually my favourite song on the playlist and funnily, i found this song accidentally when i first built this mixtape. we can ignore a rather "miserable side" of this song and just take this song as taichi's way of convincing sora that they could be such a fantastic pair together.

also, on a separate note, there's a long distance relationship theme implied in this song. i never really explore this theme, but i always wonder how married!taiora will make their marriage work because taichi will surely travel a lot with his job as diplomat.

bonus tracks: i love you - billie eilish

it took a long time for me to finally decide to put this song. i want the closure to be very slow and solemn, because most of the songs in this playlist have been very upbeat. i realised that most songs are in taichi's pov, so i thought about searching a song from sora's pov.

i was thinking about gabrielle aplin's please don't say you love me. however, the tempo was still too fast somehow, and i got the impression that the girl in the song wouldn't let the relationship between her and this particular man to be more than just friends. and there's no way i let this playlist to end like that. enough with taiora not being canon.

this billie eilish song should be listen as a company to two other songs, and if you listen to all of them together, it's actually a pretty depressing storyline (maybe triggering, so i suggest not to google if you don't feel comfortable). however, if you listen to i love you as a stand-alone song, i think it can still be a good fit.

quoting from one source, this is a song about "something that happened near the beginning of a romantic relationship, but a little bit after a friendship." i think this song can be interpreted as sora's reaction when taichi finally CAME TO HIS SENSE confessed to her. her first thought would be he was joking ("maybe won't you take it back? say you were tryna make me laugh"). sora's the type who concealed her emotion, so to hear the words as blatant as "i love you" would make her very vulnerable.

yet the song ends with a realisation that she also loved him. and that is why i put an ellipsis on the lyrics above: i want to leave my playlist for an open ending!

(but if it were up to me, i'll surely put a happy ending for them ;>)

EXTRA! DIGIWEEK DAY 5 - CROSSOVER

Let's do some headcanons, shall we? Last week @imaginedigimon posted these headcanons of a mixed Asian/Hispanic Sora and it led me to this:

In the Heights... I LOVE this musical so much <3 All the latino and dancing and vibing and yes! Here's the trailer:

youtube

And like I said, those mixed Asian/Hispanic headcanons gave me the reason to think of In the Heights x Digimon Adventure crossover headcanons. And what better day to write such a post than on Crossover day 5 of @digiweek! So here goes.

The story

The story here is basically the same. There's a guy (Usnavi) with a store, inherited from his deceased parents, who has this dream to go back to the land he was born in, thinking that's his dream. However he was raised on this block in this city he's living in now, so eventually he's torn between leaving or staying. Simultaneously all the other characters have their own aspirations and dreams, but they shouldn't forget where they came from. That's the main theme and story, the characters will be quite the same from the movie/musical, but with some changes here and there suiting the Chosen Children and the relationships between them (for now I will only cover the 8 Digimon Adventure 01 crew members).

I want the set up to be a little different though. So it's not like a latino block on the Island Manhattan in NYC, but it's more like a city or village on it's own. Something like Big Hero 6's 'San Fransokyo'... Maybe 'Santo Dotokyo'? Could be. Anyway, it's a mix of Latino and Japan (that's actually a very weird combination. I like it!).

How about pairings you may ask?? You'll find out when you proceed reading ;D

The characters

Usnavi / Taichi Yagami: Of course my boy is the lead! He's smooth yet awkward, fierce yet cute, determined yet clueless. Sounds like our goggle headed fella right? So Taichi owns the store, like a true work-a-holic works very very hard. He's friendly, always supporting and beaming positivity. He knows the whole community and the whole community knows him, everyone well aware of his father's dream to patch up the bar on the exotic island they came from. Taichi though is still figuring out his dream and is torn between staying for the community (and his love interest...) or leaving for his (father's?) dream. Plus let's not forget he has some very serious salsa skills like a true latino! The dancing is on, gosh how much I love my Taichi swaying...

Nina / Hikari Yagami: Taichi's younger sister, kind and innocent, who followed their mother's dream to study abroad. The community believed in her and fully supported her like the little light she is, she being the first one to 'make it out'. However during her time abroad she starts to feel lonely and left out, gets homesick and travels back to her hometown and brother with the idea to never go back abroad. Though she just needs the courage to go through and that convincing might come from her community, her brother and her lover.......

Sonny / Koushiro Izumi: In this universe Koushiro, who works with Taichi in the shop, is a 'cousin' from Taichi and Hikari! He has been abandoned by his own mother -who probably was someone with a drug addict- but then he was taken in by Taichi's and Hikari's aunt and uncle..! Yes, this makes Kae a blood relative to Taichi and Hikari, being Yuuko's sister (I love that idea, although it makes both Taishiro and Koukari impossible...). Koushiro is a smart kid, quiet, but always there with his words right on time. He wants to go to college or university badly, the smart kid he is, but because he was never officially adopted and therefore isn't fully registered, his chances are low... Taichi and the community might be of help here.

Vanessa / Sora Takenouchi: WEPA VANESSA SORA! In the musical Vanessa aspires to become a fashion designer. Oh hey, that's such a Sora! Where Hikari wants to come home, Sora desperately wants to leave everything behind to start anew. She works in Mimi's beauty salon only to make money so she can move to a bigger city. It's kind of like a rebellion against her traditional mother who wants her to stay in the community and take over the flower shop. However she might be staying as fashion inspiration can also come from within the community and a certain someone she loves *cough*Taichi*cough*, but doesn't want to admit (this is a very self indulgent Taiora AU thank you very much).

Daniela / Mimi Tachikawa: The salon lady! Or boss is better. She is an entrepreneur pur sang and makes sure everyone looks good with beautiful nails and shiny hair! She's fierce, doesn't take no for an answer (no nonsense policy yup) and always has her eyes and ears open. And her mouth too, because the girl looooooves to gossip! Especially with her two salon companions (from which one HAS to be Miyako -and yes Mimi and Miyako are the lesbian couple-), ¡No me diga! Also: she absolutely loves to tease employee Sora by telling untrue rumors about Taichi just to see how Sora reacts. So sly Meems.

Benny / Takeru Takaishi: This might come as a surprise, because to be honest Taichi would fit Benny so well. But I went for Takeru as Benny, because Takeru can be just as smooth -and kinda sly-. Takeru is one of Taichi's best friends if not thé best friend (I love to explore that dynamic)! A best friend with a love interest in the best friend's sister a.k.a. Hikari. They are secret lovers who are not as secretly in love (Nina Kari and Benny Keru sitting in a tree... k i s s i n g) as they think they are. Takeru works across the street in a record store (yes, this is a big difference from the musical itself) where he takes over the community radio station in the morning. There he has a story telling podcast, telling fictional stories based on the stories of the community (Mimi always informs him with the latest gossip). Eventually he wants to go to college, just like Hikari studies abroad, to become a writer.

(Graffiti) Pete / Yamato Ishida: This is even more of a stretch, but bear with me! Graffiti Pete is a true artistic lone wolf! Spraying art on walls through the whole city and it's absolutely fabulous. He's Takeru's older brother, but was raised by his father after their parents splitted up, and also friends with the gang. Though he may have made some art on the window shutters from Taichi's shop... However, Yamato is not only a graffiti artist, he's also a musician, always 'borrowing' stealing records from the shop Takeru is working. Yamato is just a very mysterious guy, but also a very nice friend with artistic and deep emotional help from unexpected corners.

Piragüero / Jyou Kido: Haha okay, this is weird..! Actually this is great role for Daisuke, but because we're here giving the roles to the Adventure 01 cast, this one goes to Jyou. Simply because piragua (which is shaved ice) guy has a heart of gold and is super reliable, one of the oldest ones on the block, one who has seen it all. He's also a bit silly, doing this horrible work on the street, while he failed to become a doctor (so sad), but he brings joy to others! And also great advice, especially when it comes to following dreams no matter how big or small. Jyou is the one who doesn't let you forget where you came from!

And there are so many more headcanons I could come up with, so this might gets a continuation eventually. But for now, this is it (:

Kizuna Countdown Day 14 💖

Favourite Ship/OTP

Don’t think I didn’t notice that this part of the countdown conveniently landed on Valentine’s Day. 💕😉

Ships have been a part of my Digimon fandom experience since I first watched the English dub way back in the early 2000s, back in the day of webrings, geocities sites and Livejournal’s infancy. Teenage Aly was reading/writing fic, collecting buttons to show off the pairings I liked on my user profiles and participating in huge text-based roleplaying games, both multi-fandom and Digimon-based alike.

My pairings of choice back then? Mostly Taiora and Takari, which is amusing in retrospect because I don’t ship Taiora romantically at all now (I like them better as close friends) and I’m a bit lukewarm when it comes to Takari, but I still see the appeal in the ship.

My pairings of choice today? Ranging from “kind of like” to “absolutely adore”, in no specific order:

Jyoumi (Jyou/Mimi)

Miyakari (Miyako/Hikari)

Koukari (Koushiro/Hikari)

Kenyako (Ken/Miyako)

Taishiro (Taichi/Koushiro)

Meimi (Mimi/Meiko)

Joumato (Jyou/Yamato)

And finally, anyone who follows my Digimon-related blogs here on Tumblr knows what my OTP is. I mean, I’ve only been running the @fuckyeahsorato blog since I took it over back in... 2011? I can’t make it any more obvious than that.

Sora/Yamato (Sorato/Yamora/YamaSora)

What can I say about why I like Sorato so much that I haven’t already said? It’s difficult to wrap it up into a nice, simple post without rambling too much.

They’re definitely not an “opposites attract” kind of pairing. I like them because of how alike they are. They’re both sensitive people who keep their feelings guarded, but find a sense of understanding in one another. There’s no need to explain themselves to each other when they’re feeling down because they can read each other with just a look.

I have to admit, the one-on-one interaction they had in Tri doesn’t feel like enough, especially since Tri wasn’t very clear on their relationship status, but I’m pleased with what we got. Here’s to more meaningful interaction in Kizuna, even if there’s a good chance they’re still not officially dating again by 2010. 💔

Izzy and Tentomon need love

Has someone tried to count all the times the digidestined would have died if it wasn`t for Koushiro (Izzy) Izumi? He is also the mentor of the next generation and the plot relies on him in every Adventure season. He might not be the official main character, but he is definately the most important one. I feel that people understimate his role. He is not just a `made for exposition`character neither because he doesn`t know shit. He is not a `know it all´ super genius, he spends the day researching, making theories with the information he is able to gather.

His digimon, Tentomon, is also underappreciated. To be completely honest, if we are just talking about appearence, he is also one of my least favourites. I only like his baby levels (especially Pabumon, that green bubble is the cutest thing) and... maybe megakabuterimon¿?

Despite this, I must say Tentomon holds a digievolving logic, which is really good to see and it makes me not rant about his design even if I find it quite ugly.

The reason why I think Tentomon is one of the best digimons goes deeper than that. For a starter, I laugh so hard with him, he delievers the best lines.

Koushiro: We don`t know where the North is.

Tentomon: I do.

Koushiro: Where?

Tentomon: Opposite to the South.

He is not joking, he is seriously answering the question. Tentomon is pretty dumb but he still gets to be the digimon representative of the Crest of Knowledge xD I am a sucker for this ironical non-sense.

However, the most important ingredient for me to love this character is the bonding with his human partner. Izzy and him learn so much from one another. It is simply beautiful how Tentomon tries to understand Koushiro, how he accepts him with all his manias and plain akwardness. The digimon actually encourages Koushiro to be curious and take ignorance as an opportunity to improve. This support is what helps our knowledge digidestined to grow.

That`s all I wanted to say, however, as I did with my Mimi Tachikawa`s post, I am going to add a list of my take on other Koushiro involving relationships a.k.a. gonna state my ships for Izzy:

As far as his sexual orientation is concerned, Kou is probably the only digidestined I headcanon as completely heterosexual.

That`s why Taishiro is a BroTP for me.

I also enjoy the idea of Kou being very close to...

Takeru Takaishi.

I didn´t know I needed this friendhsip until Tri came out, still, I love it with all my heart.

Sora Takenouchi.

Even if the redheads don`t hang alone, only meeting when the group does; they do talk an awful lot over the phone. Sora calls him when she needs an impartial opinion about her problems or is doubting what to do when facing a `life choice´ moment. He goes to her for emotional advise because he correctly thinks Sora is a more reliable source than Taichi.

Jyou Kido.

Their bonding is based in...

Huge admiration towards the other.

Intelectual debates.

Never ending existential conversations.

Nerdiness Battles.

Despite not interacting much in canon, I like to believe Izzy does have a good relationship with Yamato Ishida that would go as followed:

They share whispered comments or exasperation gestures when Taichi and the others do/say something stupid (so, basically all the time haha).

When they are alone, oh boy, those are quality moments because these introverts understand the importance of some easy, calm and silent time. That is what they find in each other`s company: tranquility. And after so many crazy adventures, it sure feels like paradise.

At some point, Koushiro starts making fun of Yamato for being an edgelord. This is a quite OOC behaviour that only the blonde is able to unlock.

The girls I pair him up with are:

Mimi Tachikawa (As I have already made pretty clear on this blog).

Miyako Inoue.

They have so many common interests!

Yolei is far more crazy and it would be interesting to see how that affects on Koushiro.

I have seen some KouKari content and... well, I wouldn`t have thought about it myself but I can somehow see it working.

Can't resist- Koukari!

Now we’re talking.

How did they they meet?Briefly at a football game, pre-Adventure.

Who developed romantic feelings first?Koushirou.

Who is their biggest “shipper?”Taichi.

When did they have their first kiss and under what circumstances?After Koushirou opened up to Hikari about something that caused him pain.

Who confessed their feelings first?Koushirou.

What was their first official date?Going out for ice-cream.

How do they feel about double dates/group dates?Wonderful, especially if it involves Taichi.

What do they do in their down time?They can sit in silence next to each other for a long time, each immersed in their own interests. They also occasionally enjoy going for walks or sports events.

What was the first meeting of parents as an official couple like?Formal but familiar. His parents fell in love with Hikari at once and her parents already loved Koushirou, so it was all very natural.

What was their first fight over and how did they get past it?Koushirou forgot Hikari’s birthday.

Which one is more easily made jealous?Surprisingly enough, both.

What is their favourite thing to get to eat?Ice-cream.

Who’s the cuddly one? What their favourite cuddling position?Hikari, but she isn’t too invasive. She’s good at respecting Koushirou’s personal space.

Are they hand holders?Not frequently, rarely in public.

How long do they wait before sleeping together for the first time? What’s the circumstances?A while, because things went slowly with these two. (And Koushirou did a lot of research.)

Who tops?Koushirou… most of the time.

What’s the worst first they’ve ever gotten into?They were discussing a problem in the Digital World and Koushirou dismissed Hikari’s opinions; she though his solution was too cold.

Who does the shopping and the cooking?Hikari.

Which one is more organized and prone to tidiness?Hikari.

Who proposes?Koushirou (supported by Taichi and Takeru).

Do they have joined Bachelor/Bacheloette parties or separate?Separate. Fortunately.

Who is the best man/maid of honour? Any other groomsmen or bridesmaids?Taichi and Miyako.

Big Ceremony or Small?Small, discreet, and intimate.

Do they have a honeymoon? If so, where? Anywhere with wifi and a pretty landscape.

Do they have children? How many?Yes, a boy and a girl.

Enlightenmonth ficlet - Day 1-4 (Friends/Family): “Always been an honorary Yagami”

Enlightenmonth - Day 1-4: Friends/Family

Summary: Koushirou has gathered the courage to ask Hikari the question of questions - and is now facing the task to ask the other Yagami sibling an equally important one.

Genre: Brotherhood Friendship

Wordcount: 2032

Rating: G

Characters: Koushirou Izumi & Taichi Yagami (+ Hikari Izumi Yagami)

Ships: Koukari, Taishirou friendship

„She’s really rubbing off on you, isn’t she? Actually going home early? Who are you and what did you do to the real Koushirou?”

Koushirou couldn’t help but snicker at that commentary coming from the door of his office; Taichi was leaning against the frame all casually, waiting for his friend, work partner and future brother-in-law to pack up his things.

There was something soothing about the scene as well as his words, Koushirou thought – or rather, he tried to convince himself of that.

“I just thought it’d be nice to re-establish an old tradition”, he replied while shouldering his bag. They had been working on another presentation for a meet-up with the Japanese government, combining Koushirou’s most current research results on distortion tracking with Taichi’s recently conducted speech on “Benefits of positive promotion of Digital gate switching”.

In order to celebrate the finalization of their presentation, Koushirou had decided to invite Taichi to an after-work “beverage of choice”.

That had been his official wording at least, not mentioning the fact that there had been something else he had wanted to get off his chest…

“Oh, does that mean it’ll be your treat tonight?”, Taichi grinned while they left the office, stepping down the stairs of the office building. “Just like the old days?”

Another snicker – there used to be a time when they had gone out on late(r) night “dinners” much more frequently during their early days of university, eating and drinking out together with Yamato and Sora. Quite a while ago…

“Well, your paycheck should look a lot more comfortable than it did ten years ago…”, Koushirou teased back, causing Taichi to clutch his chest as if to pretend to have gotten shot.

“Oooof, that hurts.”

“But… I guess it’s the least I can do. And it really has been a while.”

Especially since he had proposed to Hikari a few weeks ago, after they had been together for over five years now. Taichi had been noticeably quiet since then – neither in the working nor in the usual bickering department, that was for sure. However, they hadn’t talked much about the engagement and Koushirou couldn’t prevent himself from wondering why that was the case.

Due to his relationship with Hikari, he had grown even closer to the entire Yagami family throughout recent years, which was a change he had thoroughly welcomed, now that they were in their early thirties, more settled, more ready to focus on other things in life than just work and Digital World affairs.

It hadn’t been easy, especially in their early twenties, when Taichi had begun to distance himself from basically everyone around him, including Koushirou – and it had taken a while for him to figure himself out again, daring to face his inner demons and allowing himself to open up to his loved ones again.

Koushirou had been thankful for that – between trying to figure out how to get their Digimon partners back and falling head over heels for the sister of his best friend, it had been hard to reconcile. And even though Taichi hadn’t exactly given him the impression that he was somewhat disapproving of him dating Hikari… Koushirou simply couldn’t shake the possibility that Taichi deliberately avoiding the topic now was a sign of him closing himself off again…

“Come on, what’s up?”, Taichi interrupted his thought process, making him realize that he must have been silent for a while himself now. “Something’s on your mind, isn’t it? Spill it, you’re an honorary Yagami now after all.”

Twilight had emerged already and Koushirou took a look at the purple sky over Odaiba, taking a deep breath. If only they had already been at the restaurant, maybe he could have used the additional time to collect his thoughts a bit better.

Koushirou Izumi was an honest person – heck, he could be incredibly blunt, even painfully so, when things were urgent, when he had to make use of his problem solving skills, facing illogical and difficult circumstances. Sharp, analytical, precise.

Nevertheless – when it came to his own feelings, regardless of how “illogical and difficult” they were, being honest was a lot more tricky. And in moments like these, he hoped that Hikari had actually been rubbing off on him. It had taken him months of preparation, tons of encouragement from Tentomon, several re-written proposals (and unused date-ideas by Mimi) to ask her the question of questions.

Her brother was an entirely different story right now.

“… Then you should know that, as an honorary Yagami, I do need to collect my own courage here and there.”

The words came out all naturally and he saw Taichi hesitating before opening the door to their favourite restaurant.

“Huh? That’s not like you at all though?”

There was a certain glimpse of worry in his voice and Koushirou didn’t like that – he had heard the same tone coming from Hikari countless times before, whenever he had been pulling allnighters or had – subconsciously – forgotten to eat properly. All those bad habits he had to face and fight, all the little steps he had to take towards opening up himself. For the sake of the people he loved and adored – and wanted to protect.

“…. And I like you better when you yell at me for misusing the goggles or bluescreening your computer.”

However – it was funny how easy it was for both Yagami siblings to make him smile and forget all his grim thoughts.

“You haven’t done that in years, so it doesn’t count”, he grinned, feeling a bit more light-hearted and so he went past Taichi through the door, straight to their usual spots, waiting for him to follow.

“You know what? You’re right, there’s no further need to dance around the topic any longer…”

Sitting at the table now, facing each other, waiting to order the first drink for the night, Koushirou looked straight at those hazel eyes in front of him, expecting him to spill the beans.

“Yeeeeah?”

Another deep breath followed, anticipation clearly audible in Koushirou’s voice when he finally made his proposal – the second one this year:

“Taichi-san, may I ask you to be my best man?”

Taichi just blinked a few times – then he sank deeper into his seat, sighed a deep sigh, followed by a bright grin of… Relief?

“… That took you waaaaay too long, man.”

“It was harder than asking for Hikari-san’s hand, to be honest”, Koushirou replied as if he was on autopilot, as these words were the ones he had been meaning to say for, indeed, way too long. Granted, he had been a million times more nervous when asking Hikari to marry him – but at least he had been more secure about her answer.

Which seemed to baffle Taichi just as much as it had him, as his eyes had just widened significantly before he eventually cried out loud:

“What?! Why, what did I do? Did you actually think I’d say no?!”

“It was at least a valid possibility in my head!”, Koushirou returned in the same manner, feeling cornered and even a little embarrassed – no matter how often he had been playing the potential conversation in his head, he couldn’t get around explaining it in a satisfying way. “You have been rather non-talkative about the whole topic and even though… I do know you’re not opposed to your sister becoming an Izumi, I couldn’t be a hundred percent sure you wouldn’t say no.”

“That doesn’t make any sense?!”, Taichi barked and Koushirou wished for a waiter or waitress to come to their table and give him some space to sort out his thoughts. Taichi on the other hand seemed very eager to get this straight – and suddenly, it bursted out of him completely: “Wait a minute, I sure as hell hope for you that you’re not holding me accountable for something I said, like, twenty years ago?! Man, I was twelve, I wouldn’t have let ANYBODY marry my sister, you should KNOW that!”

That statement made Koushirou blush even more in embarrassment – he couldn’t deny that a certain conversation had played a role in his thought process. Way back then, it had been a harmless joke between their friends right after they had left the Digital World for the first time, with Mimi having brought up the possibility of any of the Chosen Children dating each other. One of those possibilities had been Hikari ending up dating Koushirou – and even though he hadn’t even considered actively confessing to anyone at that time, a simple statement made by Jyou had been stuck in Koushirou’s head ever since:

“Wait a minute! If Hikari-kun was with him, you’re gonna end up being his older brother in the future, Taichi!”

“If that happened to me, I’d refuse!”, Yamato had snapped, causing Taichi to get all heated up and sour:

“Hey, are you picking a fight or somethin’?! Anyway, whatever. I wouldn’t allow their relationship anyway.”

“I am well aware that it sounds silly, that’s why I needed to clarify!”, Koushirou eventually confessed, silently cursing his splendid memory. This was not how he had wanted this exchange to go, even though he should have been able to predict it…

Leaning back into his chair, Taichi sighed once again, shaking his head.

“Koushirou, look. Our mom has accepted you into our family way before you and Hikari were even a thing and, honestly? If you hadn’t picked her, mom would probably have made me propose to you, just to have you as a part of the inner circle, I swear.”

Hearing that, now it was up to Koushirou to blink at Taichi; he had always been aware that Yuuko was doting on him, but he definitely hadn’t expected her to be that… Committed. Even more surprising to him was the fact that Taichi’s voice had calmed down more and more while elaborating; genuine eyes were facing him, giving him an expression of openness, amusement and… Warmth.

“Needless to say that I couldn’t ask for a better brother than you. In my book, you’ve always been an honorary Yagami, no matter what I may or may not have said when we were kids or whatever has happened years ago. Even if Hikari will take your name in the end.”

There it was again – the Yagami way, never failing to make Koushirou smile.

“That was incredibly cheesy, Taichi-san”, he said, a gentle laugh escaping his own throat, taking all the heaviness with it.

“Oh shut up, you’re the one who made this a problem in the first place! I was afraid you’d ask Mimi-chan or Sora or even Takeru to be your best man or woman or… Whatever…”

“Did you really?” Koushirou’s smile widened; if he read in between the lines correctly, Taichi’s main worry seemed to have been that Koushirou wouldn’t have picked him as his first choice. So the reason why he had been quiet about everything was probably that he had felt… Left out. Now he felt even more silly – they had never been the best at talking about their feelings with each other, but all of this was almost too ridiculous to be true. “Takeru-kun is already occupied as Hikari-san’s secondary bride’s maid, right after Miyako-kun.”

“I guess I should have seen that coming, huh?”

The smile simply refused to vanish from Koushirou’s lips now; Hikari had encouraged him to finally ask Taichi, pushing him to take the step himself… Now he was pretty much certain that she had just intended to nudge him towards losing all his second-guessings with “exposure therapy”. And she had probably known all along – proving once again that he had placed his affections correctly.

“Taichi-san, I always intended to ask, it couldn’t have been anyone else but you, so I shouldn’t have… Doubted.”

“Glad to hear that”, Taichi chuckled, finally waving at a waitress passing by. “Soothes the fatal wound a bit.”

“I’ll make it up to you, I promise.”

“So… Your treat then?”

Never before had Koushirou craved for a drink more than in this moment. Not to play down any uneasiness or cover up the silence – but to truly and genuinely celebrate the occasion with his future brother-in-law.

“Definitely my treat then.”

___

fics

sa • ku • ra: what can i say? it’s my otp, first of all, and although the topic is very sensitive, i think i managed somehow. at least i have to appreciate myself for being brave and write something a little bit out of my comfort zone.

an early visit: because koukari needs more love [!!!] i just love the subtleness between the two of them. it’s very natural somehow. they never really mentioned about koushiro’s real parent on the series, so i decided not to explicitly write the surname. but it has been my long-time headcanon that koushiro the diligent son will always clean his parents grave every obon.

a walk home: i’m super into this fic because it’s my first time writing about hiroaki’s relationship with his child!! tbh i’m not really confident about writing a child character because i feel like i have lost all my youth innocence (HAHAHA???) but i think i did chibi!takeru just right.

iridescent sugar clouds: FIRST DRABBLE HERE! have to give a little credit because it’s sort of my first english drabble (i think i wrote hdylyst before this, but anyway...). you can’t just hate taichi being goofy to sora, right?

we’d talk/wed-talk: i’m the advocate of exploring taikeru and yamakari more. i just really wish that da:2020 will give me some of that. anyway, yes i love yamakari dynamic. i like how the conversation flows between them. again, PLEASE GIVE ME THEM MORE TIME TOGETHER... IT’LL PROBABLY A LITTLE AWKWARD BUT PLS...

notable mentions:

thunderstorm and hell: i can just picture the nervousness of koushiro (and tentomon) and devil!takeru... that brat...

stuck with me: i just love picturing the setting. and oh, i’ve been dying to quote that garden of words famous line!

never gonna leave this bed: first attempt to write something a bit... steamy? again, i love my otp being goofy :p

graphics

sunhearts: OH ALL THE LOVE I’VE PUT IN THAT GRAPHICS... i love the outcome. the colours. them. i hope i’ve done taiora shipper a justice.

e • mo • tion: if you search for the original picture of them together (I CAN’T STOP EMPHASISING THAT THERE’S A MIMATO OFFICIAL ART), there was a HUGE watermark (ngl, it’s veeeeeerry huge) so i have to erase it (IT’S A CRIME, DON’T DO IT... I’M A LAWSCHOOL STUDENT STUDYING COPYRIGHT AND THIS ISN’T RIGHT LOL). it was hard. very hard. now i know the pain that scanlators have to bear. i think i did a pretty good job cleaning and redrawing the picture.

courage, love, knowledge: i finally submit something for my ot3!!!!!!!! and i love how it turns out!!!! and i love how there’s a fitting quote for them!!!!!!!! please toei give them more screentimes so i can make another one!!!!!!!!!!

don’t let me drown: i love how it turns out, as triggering as it is. i can feel the emotion of drifting away and i love the typography too.

a very digi christmas: i don’t think a comment is necessary. pretty self explanatory :3

notable mentions:

odaiba day 2020: i’m so glad i can make a contribution that people can enjoy too on our important day as a digifan! and it’s so nice getting to know you all <33

mimi’s youtube channel: the coloursssss. yay for takemimato!

digidestined pair table: the coloursssss [2]. PRAYER CIRCLE FOR EVERYONE TO HAVE ONE-ON-ONE INTERACTION BECAUSE THE CURRENT SERIES IS LACKING IT (there’s a lot about this series that i want to complain about since it’s already 25+ episodes but honestly i’m too tired)

jyoumimato: see number 3.

#munpost #gonna reblog the top 5s prolly
