First time watching Voltron: Legendary Defender and documenting my thoughts

This is Season 4

S1-2 | S3 | S5 | S6 | S7 | S8 |

———————————————————————

<this one is going to be shorter, as I have only recently finished this season, and the grief is still fresh (lol), so the thoughts are only just starting to simmer. strap your asses in>

Pre-Season 4 Thoughts

-> Keith joining the blades is going to be a huge plot device, I feel

-> PLEASE for the love of CHRIST let that poor little girl find her brother and father. If they are dead dreamworks better be ready to catch these hands

->I’ve heard people claim this is the “last good season”, but i stay strong 💪 and will watch till the end

->wouldn’t the paladin switch not make sense now? Cus shiro is back as the black paladin and it makes no sense for Lance to be red like it originally had? If anything, he should’ve gone back to blue, and Allura to red, because Allura is very accepting/encouraging of shiro’s role as leader. I guess they didn’t wanna do it all over again. But I digress 🤷‍♀️

->im gonna miss my Pookie (🤍❤️🤍)

Post-S4

->do they do this every two seasons?? Have an epic battle where they have a big preparation and say it’ll 100% end the war but it doesn’t and something crazy happens after they win and it sets up the next season??

->FUCK YEAH PIDGE GOT HER BROTHER BACK IM SCREAMING CRYING THROWING UP 💪💪🔥🔥‼️‼️‼️🙏🙏🙏🙇‍♀️🙇‍♀️

->^genuinely cried so hard during this scene. would’ve cried more if I wasn’t recovering from the initial shock.

->^cried during this one too, but it was happy tears. I could actually just do a whole reaction post to this episode alone. (if you want me to js say so in the rbs/replies)

->the callback to s1! “color-coded of course, because what are we? animals?” AHHH! I’m going insane I love these siblings sooooo much

->okay I’ll stop gushing over them now

->^only valid reaction to meeting Allura. Homegirl is beauty incarnate

->I LIED. im not sorry im never shutting up about them. SHE SHOWS HIM AROUND THE CASTLE AND TELLS HIM EVERYTHING AND EVERY DETAIL AND SHES SO EXCITED CUS SHE JUST GOT HER BRO BACK AND IS JUST RAMBLING ABOUT HER NEW HOME AND ALL THE COOL STUFF SHES BEEN DOING AND HES JUST LISTENING AND IS SUPER EXCITED WITH HER AND ITS SOOOO AMAZING AND ADORABLE AND I COULD DIE

->AND THEN HE TELLS HER HOW THEIR DAD WOULD BE SO PROUD IM DYING IM LITERALLY DEAD STOP.

->AND AND AND THEY WERE ALL WORKING TOGETHER W HUNK TO MAKE THE GALRA TRACKER THING AND THEY WERE BEING SO COOL WITH EACH OTHER AND BEING NERDS TOGETHER AND AND AND AJEUWNDUWJEBEURBDGWUDKAODHD

->okay. ive calmed down. i am normal and can be trusted to simply watch a show.

->^Get his ass, Zarkon. I needed his smug ass to be humbled so bad. Only time I will agree w Zarkon fr.

->i do NOT like Lotor. Can you guys tell already??

->THE SCENE WHERE THEY TRIED TO GET MILKSHAKES AND WERE SHOCKED TO FIND OUT THAT YOU NEED TO MILK A COW STOP.✋ 😭. My high-score on the giggle-meter went up by 300%

->bro I SWEAR shiro looks different. there’s just something about him. the hair gets a pass cus how good of a haircut can you give yourself in space, yk? but that nose scar is definitely a different shade #notmyrodrickshiro

->THE VOLTRON SHOW.

->^Just. That entire episode. It’s getting a whole post actually I need to yap about it.

->^her armor is colored in a way which makes it look both pink and red while making it look like a trick of the light in a way to symbolize that she is acting as keith yet while being a paladin herself and that being unknown in the public eye and showing how they have to cover that up, any suspicion being thrown as a trick of the light. Oh vld animators ily 🫶

->on another note tho why do they always draw lance and shiro to have 30 pounds of ass. what.

->loved when those lesbians decided to take down lotor. Queen shit 💋 we stan 🙇‍♀️🙏

->Lotor is so stupid and pathetic and annoyingly smug and sus and admiral-zhao-y and I hate him but he’s SOOO FREAKING HOT and I can’t hate him completely because he’s so attractive but that just makes me wanna hate him more. He’s a walking red flag but the flag is heart-shaped and honestly idk what to do w that.

->^WHAT. stop. honestly that’s the real reason he was banned from the empire my ass would not want that fucking FREAK within a 30 light year radius of me either

-> while s3 was the klance season, s4 is apparently the allurance season, they have a lot of sweet moments. (granted all started by lance but still, you can almost see allura swooning)

->^pookie. what are you doing… pookie.. no. stop. i don’t like where this is going…

->^POOKIE NO. STOP. ✋ STOP. SAY SIKE RN.

->^oh thank fuck for Lotor.

->^^wait what. why Lotor.

->^^^heartbreaking: worst person you know doesn’t something good for once.

->he definitely wants something out of this. I don’t trust him.

These are thoughts I’ve had compiled for some time now. I will continue to post my thoughts on the tag “laura’s first vld”

I finished this season on 06/30/24. I am on S5E3 as of today (07/06/24)

Here’s a Little Sneak Peak On a Transformers(TFP/RiD/RB) AU I’m Working On :3 (a LOT More Under Cut)

2 Versions Bc Grayscale Is Cool :P

Info Abt The AU:

This AU Is Very Similar To TFP/RB But It Is Based Around The Antagonists of TFP With Exceptions of Some(Airachnid, Predaking/Predacons). It Takes Place In Jasper(Same As TFP)But Each of The Characters Are Partially Humanized/And or Have Their Names Changed(Ex: Starscream Is Humanoid But Has His TFP Wings, Eye Colour, Height, Name, Etc But Has a Similar Personality To His G1 Self, While Megatron Is Humanized But Has His Name Shortened). Instead of The Decepticons Being An Antagonistic Group, They Are Just a Military Group With Ranks That I Have Chosen(Which I Will List)

Head Commander: Meg (Megatron).

Second In Command(s): Starscream, Shockwave.

Medic(s): KO (Knockout), Soundwave.

Warriors: Breaxdon (Breakdown)[Typically Leads Fights], Vehicons + Steve.

Notes:

There Will Be Graphic Scenes/Death In This AU’s Story But Will Be Tagged As Such In The Tags or Start of The Posts. This AU Will Not Have a Happy Ending, It Will Have a Bittersweet One At The Best, There Will Be Major Character Death, There Will Be Sensitive Topics But Sparklings/Children Will NOT Be Harmed or Killed Bc I’ll Actually Cry If I Have To Write Abt a Kid Dying, So If Ur Sensitive 2 Stuff Like That, Please Read Warnings, If U Read It And Get Triggered AFTER Reading The Warnings Then That Is Ur Own Fault For Not Understanding.

As You Can See From The Pictures I Added, a Lot of The Art For This AU Will Be Made In Gacha, Though The Character Sheets Will Be Drawn Traditionally With Pencil And Paper/or Digitally Using IbisPaintX, I Am NOT a Professional Artist In Any Way But I Am NOT Asking For Art Tips or Criticism, So Do NOT Give Me Any, I Do Not Want It.

I Will NOT Be Making Character Sheets For The Autobots(Besides For a Select Few Important Ones), I Will Make ONE Character Sheet For The Vehicons, Displaying The Different Features They Can Have(And Steve).

There Will Be a Few Characters From Different Shows That May Appear In This AU(Ex: Wildbreak The Stunticon From RiD 2015 Will Be Breakdown And Knockouts Son Because of The Similarities, He Will Get a Character Sheet But He Will Not Be All Too Important, Just To Give More Life To Both Breakdown And Knockout. Characters From Different Shows/Comics May Also Be Mentioned(Ex: The Rescue Bots/Griffin Rock May Be Mentioned But Will Not An Important Thing, Just Something In Passing Conversation or May Be Mentioned Because of a Character That May Show Up For a Brief Time[NOT SAYING WHO YET !!!!!!!]).

Ships WILL Likely Be Included In This AU. Don’t Like Them? Ignore Them or Just Move On, Hate Will Not Affect My Writing or Art, I’ll Just Kindly Block U🫶

Ships That May Be Featured: Knockout x Breakdown/BreakOut/KnockDown(Canon). Implied Past Knockout x Starscream. More May Be Added !!

There Are Aromantic/Asexual/AroAce/Aspec Characters In This AU, So I Must Request That You Do Not Make Ships of/Do Sexual Scenarios of My Version of The Aspec Characters Without ASKING Me.(Ex: Meg/Megatron Is Aromantic. All of The Vehicons Are AroAce. Starscream Is Greysexual Panromantic)

I’ve Been Working On This AU Since Last Monday And Have Drawn Out Two Character Sheets(Knockout And Starscream) But I Will Be Drawing Out More Over The Course of The Next Weeks, But I Am Still a Student So It Will Likely Not Be All That Consistent.

Want some art? Check out my commissions! Starting at just $10!

Also check out my LGBTQ+ novel series, Gaelwolf Emperor! I’m still working on it and haven’t put much of the story there yet (aside from book 1’s prologue) but the website is gaelwolfemperor.neocities.org!

-if you partake in any sort of lgbtq+ identity policing/gatekeeping. (maps and zoophiles are not lgbtq+)

-if you’re anti-furry, especially just to be edgy/for attention

-zoophiles and other gross shit

Notes:

If you are a minor, I implore you to filter “#cubs don’t look”. My blog does not contain explicit pornography as per Tumblr rules, but it does have some dirty jokes and whatnot.

I don’t do identity policing. This means mspec discourse, bi vs pan, neopronoun discourse, etc. Conservatives want all queer people dead and playing pick-me with them isn’t going to make them spare you.

I’m a singlet so it’s not my place to speak on endo discourse. Again, I like/rb unrelated things from those on either side, block if that bothers you. I still support systems in general, I will still respect how you ID!

I support all ships EXCEPT illegal ones.

If I think you are a porn bot I will block you. (This means you, empty profiles.)

If you have your Hogwarts house in your profile I will block you

I just block anyone who gives me bad vibes.

If under 15 you may interact but ask to follow (if you were already following me before 5 July 2021 you need not ask, you can keep following c:)

No more anons. Ever. If you want to say stupid transphobic shit then don’t hide behind a mask like a coward. If you’re really that inclined then say it to my face.

Ask to message if over 25. Nothing against you, just a comfort thing.

Triggers I’d like mutuals to tag: mentions of gross ships like zu/ce/st, gifs/videos of lightning flashing (still images ok), audio of crying, realistic or fairly realistic cervine (deer, elk, moose etc) death (this includes the meme with the deer in the pool), anything relating to nuclear warfare/strikes, the book and movie of mice and men, toys with blood on them, the pop cat meme audio (pictures/gifs are fine, it’s just the sound that bothers me), and any movie/show involving children dying or almost dying from medical issues (i.e. miracles from heaven, heaven is for real, some episodes of greys anatomy). I know it’s a lot, so my catchall is #notsafeforlions.

Also, the following are not triggers, but please tag and/or use the catchall tag for Steven Universe spoilers, She-Ra spoilers and Doki-Doki Literature Club spoilers. This probably sounds really weird but I also really hate the word “condone” so please use the catchall tag for that too.

Vent tag is “#roaring into the void”.

I’ll tag anything you want me to tag, just send an ask.

🎨SPN RB 2020🎨 👿Little Devil👿 Art Master Post

[• Tumblr •][• LiveJournal •][• 2020 Masterlist •]

Artist: @kirathehyrulian | LiveJournal | Ao3

Author: @hitthebooksposts | LiveJournal | Ao3 | Storylink: Ao3 Pairing: Gencest Fic Rating: General Audiences Warnings: None Word Count: 3200 Summary: For once, it looks like Dean and Sam have the chance of living like normal kids for a while. Stay in one place. Go to school. Have friends. But of course, that's not how it turns out.

Artist Notes:

Oh gowd, I feel so tired right now. I just finished the second illustration this morning. I pulled an all-nighter trying to get it done and my (brain? body?) is not too happy with me.

I had just finshed all my eldritches about a week or so ago. It was a lot of art, and right after SPN Eldritch was over with I started working on “Little Devil’s” title card. What sucks is that I was battling art block after Eldritch, so it was extra hard trying to motivate myself to get the drawings out.

I don’t know if the time crunched helped or not. I do know that a main motivator for my art was knowing that my author relied on me for art. So I pushed through as best I could so I could give my author something.

I guess I should talk about the RB image that inspired the fic. The RB image is the image directly below the title card. This was my art preview description: Title of prompt: ...Dean Rating of Art: Teen Highest Rating Fic Can Be: Explicit Pairing or Gen: Wincest or Gencest Characters: Has to have Sam and Dean Warnings: Blood Short description of art: Sad, young, demon!sam crying on the floor of his room and bleeding from the new horns on his head. Wings have bursted from his hoodie and he has a tail wrapped around his leg. Sam is calling out to Dean, whether for help or mercy is up to the author. Dean's shadow is on the floor, and his reflection is in the mirror. Do Not Wants: scat, separation of brothers, character bashing, destiel Artist is willing to make more pieces to go with the story: No, unless inspiration and time permits.

When going into the RB I didn’t have a lot of ideas, so I just combined and drew themes that interest me, which is Sam angst, Sam’s demon blood, hurt!sam, and the brother’s dynamic. I was in the mood for eldritch at the time so I tried to make the image reminiscent of a horror scenario. It’s night time. The main light is the glow from a TV. Sam’s bleeding and has a expression of sad horror on his face. His body is posed in a vulnerable child like position of helplessness. His eyes glow yellow in the dark. There’s a sinister red light in behind the door. The house has old muted wall paper, and there’s a shadow of Dean’ silhouette stretched across the carpet and reflected in the mirror in the background.

The title card and second illustration center around Sam hiding in the janitor closet at the middle school in the story. I tried to make weechesters actually look like Jared and Jensen, because in my mind’s eye that’s what young Sam and Dean really look like, not really the child actors that portrayed them.  I think I did okay enough. The more I do it, I’m hoping the better I’ll get at making weechesters in enough time.

I didn’t really listen to anything specific while drawing this collection, so I don’t have any musical inspiration to share. I can’t really think of anything else to add, so I think I’m done.

And, as always,

Enjoy, if you can!♥

Endgame 3

Jesus fuck, I knew we were going to have a new trailer today, but this was more than I expected. This one actually showed something!

Let’s see. I loved the shot of the Avengers Compound, it looked beautiful. Also, Bruce is definitely scared. I mean, I know they all are, but I feel like he is the only one who’s not afraid of showing it. 

The take of the one I believe to be the Benatar, and then, two of what will probably be the saddest scenes in the whole fucking movie, Nebula and Rocket comforting each other, and Pepper hugging the shit out of Tony.

I have to mention something. I remember Tony’s vision in AOU, and, as much as it pains me that he lost Peter, he seems to be the only one whose family didn’t die. I will retake this thought later on. Also, on Pepperony hug, please notice the relief in Tony’s face. He looks like he’s about to cry. My poor baby has suffered enough.

Tony’s new suit is lit, and I kinda like it more than I like the Bleeding Edge armor. I was totally not expecting Clint’s tattoo, but it looks awesome, Natasha’s smile is beautiful, I am gay for Carol Danvers, and I fucking love Thor. Also, Steve looking at himself in the mirror is not human at all. 

“It is not about how much we lost, but about how much we have left. We are the Avengers.” Tony Stark. I feel like, after everything he’s been through, he became not more intelligent, but wiser. It is not the same. I admire Tony for never actually breaking. He’s lost, and lost, and lost, and lost. He almost died and lost Pepper in the first movie, he almost died in the second one, he lost his parents, he lost Obadiah, cause, as much as I hate him, he was the nearest thing to a father he ever knew. He lost the Avengers, his family, and he lost Peter. And even after all that, he never stops fighting. He is ready to give his all for the universe, and he’s ready to bring back everyone who disappeared. 

The small shot of all of them together. You can see it in their faces. They are determined to succeed. (Note to self: Natasha Romanoff’s biceps are killing me. She could choke me and I’ll thank her.) I would also like to say something here. No one is showing any emotion other than determination, but if you look closer, Tony seems to be the only one showing another emotion. Anger. Look at his eyes, his whole expression is saying “I will end Thanos.”

“Do you trust me?” “I do”. Jesus Christ. Thank you, RB. All I know about this scene is that my Stony heart needed it. Holy mother of Jesus, I can’t wait for their reunion. (Also, Tony as a silver fox is hot).

I don’t really get the next scene. Carol, Natasha, Rhodey, Thor, Steve, and Rocket are in what seems to be the Benatar, but I know it’s not it because Natasha’s hair is still blonde. So I have no idea what this scene means.

Irondad and spider son. The fucking picture. I am dead. They so had a father-son relationship and they took that away from Tony. You know, the same man who was saying he wanted a baby. They broke him. 

Why do I feel that the spaceship that appears is Thanos’ spaceship? Poor baby Nebula. Also, Tony’s besties interacting. Pure. Well “interacting”. 

Thor and Rocket look scared, Steve is on the fucking floor and I am, too. Steve, get you angry Chihuahua ass up. Pre-serum you wouldn’t have stayed on the floor longer than a second. He also, wouldn’t’ve survived Thanos in the first place, but you get me. 

“You cannot live with your own failure, and where did that bring you? Back to me.” not gonna lie, I didn’t miss Thanos one bit. Seeing him makes my blood boil. This is the scene where I wanted to continue my ramble. Remember I said Tony didn’t seem to have lost anyone other than Peter? You know his vision in AOU showed him the Avengers all dead? Well, this is it. I believe that it is this scene where the last battle is going to be. Steve, Thor, Natasha, Clint, Bruce, Rhodey, Pepper, all dead. Nebula, Rocket. Tony is the last one standing. I believe this is the moment he was so scared about. “And I am the man who killed the Avengers.” He’s broken. But what I’ve learned this past 11 years is that it doesn’t matter how low he falls, whether he is dying of palladium poisoning, or kidnapped in a cave in Afghanistan, he always finds an answer. There is one scene on Avengers, the first movie, where Steve is telling him he would never lie down on the wire for others to cross, and he answers that he’d cut the wire. That is something I admire about Tony, because, without missing a beat, he looks for another exit, for a third option. That is what I think will happen here, he will look for that third option, whether it is in this moment that he goes back in time, or he fights till one of them dies, or he steals the Time Stone, I don’t know. But what I DO know it this: he’s not about to let Thanos win. Not this time.

And last but not least, the holy trinity walking together. The last time we saw them this close was in AOU, and this just makes my heart ache. 

Anyway, thanks for coming to my TED Talk.

[groundramon]

Homph I finished tri and I wrote down my thoughts as I was watching because I had too many funny shitposts and nobody to share them with bc charlie hasn’t watched tri yet

PS i wont be reblogging tri spoilers (besides MINOR stuff like, digivolutions of already confirmed digivolution lines or non-spoilery shitposts, but I’ll try to tag shitposts as #tri spoilers anyways [digivolutions specific to tri ill tag as well but not ones that were already basically confirmed]) for a while so ur safe here!  I’m just gonna like everything/most things because then I can rb em to hisyaryumon lmao (also u should check out hisyaryumon....its me n charlie’s digimon blog)

EP 1:

- ok. alright. ok. good. they’re dealing with kari’s emotions now instead of just. nothing.  ok. alright. cool.  Still dont like how obscure/”artsy” they’re being with it, this is digimon not kagerou project, but ok.

- Also. I stand by tk and kari being one of the few good straight ships in digimon.  just saying.

- kari: this is my fault... me: god damn it shut up you little brat also me: god relatable ALSO me: ill take whatever display of emotions i can get

- I love how nobody believes tai is dead like.  They’re upset and worried but they’re also like “nah. he cant be. that fucking asshole just left us in our time of need” (actually only matt is the last one)

- Gabumon i would die for you also im crying and I think that’s the first time tri managed to make me fucking CRY

EP 2:

- I had thoughts but then the 02 kids happened and I entered another plane of reality.  I don’t feel real right now

- the only one I can remember is evil!gennai being a dumbass and being like “SUFFER AND SQUIRM YOU PATHETIC HUMANS AS YOU FIGHT OVER THE LAST SEAT” 1. humans are KNOWN for their ability to care for others you dumb obvious fuck and 2. is. is the entire tube going? because that tube can fit too people if they squish.  This isn’t a joke I’m serious it can.

- oh yeah also when i saw whomstever the fuck his name is (adult guy who i love but fuck names) and he was all bloodied i was like “its a cold day in hell when i see blood in digimon” (I think there was blood in an earlier ep but shh idc)

EP 3:

- didn’t nishijima start off as a fucking life coach to these kids.  What the fuck he was supposed to help them find a career not emotionally scar them by bloodily dying in front of one of them

- im realizing that the reason hackmon was always in his cloak, in the shadows, standing still is that they cannot animate him in any normal position for the life of him.  I drew him with better anatomy when i was 14 and didn’t have a tablet.  No seriously, look:

I didn’t say it wasn’t bad, you guys are just underestimating how bad the anatomy on this poor creature is.  Why cant ppl draw dracomon or hackmon correctly imma cry

- ordinemon has the best reaction faces

the best part about these two screenshots is that they literally cut one to the other, first the first one to the second one and then it cuts back to the first one.  They were really proud of these stupid ass expressions.

- I started overcoming my dissociation shock from the second episode and my hypercritical mind was analyzing the shit out of everything that happened (it is Not happy) but then evil!gennai called kari and evil goddess and idk if he’s exaggerating to make her feel bad or if she’s literally a fucking god of chaos and destruction and either way im like

she did kinda like.  Watch wizardmon die, watch tai die, watch gatomon get absorbed.  The dark ocean is just a metaphor for depression and honestly if 02 wasn’t all over the fucking place I think Kari would’ve had some pretty decent development in it.  Actually you know what, I’m using that as an angle to approach Tri at now, wish me luck bc i might actually give it more leeway now

EP 4:

- I’m not dissociating but I forgot to say anything again and I already forgot what happened

- Cant believe mei is fucking dead

EP 5:

- I like to imagine that Tai got there like a few minutes ago, but he was like “well damn guess yall figured it out without me.  alright ill just. see if I need to do anything” and then meicoomon was Still Bad so he waited for when she struck just to make the most badass entrance possible.  Fucking extra ass bitch

- I forgot to write anything again but uhhh I wasn’t satisfied so anyways lets just get into the Juicy Details

Originally I was actually planning to be kinder to Tri than I expected.  Was very invested during it.  ‘Round the end of the last ep I realized hmmm no this isn’t working out.  Where are the 02 kids.�� You should’ve brought them in to save the day.  That would’ve been SO cool and SO fun.  Fucking cowards.

god I’m kinda tired so I’m going to address a couple things I still had problems with, note that this isn’t everything it’s just everything I felt comfortable yelling about without rewatching past eps.  Like I forgot nishijima was all bloodied and presumably died in the last part until they brought it up and I was like “????” ALSO DID THE LADY WHO WAS HIS PARTNER OR W/E KILL HERSELF WITH THE GUN SHE FOUND, I JUST REALIZED LITERALLY AS I WAS TYPING THIS THAT SHE FOUND A GUN AND THEN I THINK IT CUT TO BLACK AND I’M

DID SHE FUCKING KILL HERSELF WHAT THE FUCK

anyways my problems:

1. They did joe. really dirty.  I’ll write a more proper rant on this sometime later (mostly bc charlie is MUCH better at talking about joe than I am) but basically I can tell you that his character development in the movies squandered his OG character development.  He’s basically an entirely different person.  Like Tri joe isn’t bad, besides being largely neglected (yes he has a whole half a movie to himself, no that doesn’t make up for it all), its just...not OG joe.  He’s a fine character just not the same character, and its NOT fine when you put the two together.

2. THEY DID THE 02 KIDS EVEN DIRTIER IM SO BITTER sorry you nostalgia-blind, money-hungry fucks at bandai, but the 02 cast is PART OF THE ADVENTURES UNIVERSE.  The only people who hate 02 are ones who like the characters but hate the mess of the storyline at the end, or are completely irrational and elitist about their love of the digimon series and would greatly re-evaluate their opinions if they watched the original series and 02 back to back.  They couldn’t even show them in some kind of group montage at the end??? Standing in the background when they call Mei???  Why couldn’t they call mei from a home phone also, but that’s a less important problem idc that much.  It was a cute scene besides the lack of 02 characters.  Whatever.  AND THE PROBLEM IS LIKE kari and tk?  This entire time???  Were like “oh they disappeared. oops” instead of being frantically searching for their lost friends???  Like i get tk and kari probably have fucking ptsd and can’t express any emotions because they watched important people die in front of their eyes at an incredibly young age but also 1. they didn’t address the ramifications of ptsd, so fuck that theory/excuse and 2. THAT??? WOULD ONLY MAKE THEM LOOK HARDER??? and put on a brave face as they look, but inside they’re so scared and so worried.  Not just “oh sweet, they were found/saved, theyre in the hospital but that’s fine” like WHAT theyre fucking assholes if that’s what they’d canonically do lmao.  God I am SO bitter over the ENTIRE thing with the 02 kids, it would’ve been BETTER if they were deleted from the fucking canon entirely.  Would I have still been bitter?  Yes.  But at least I wouldn’t be madder at TK and Kari too.

3. I stand 100% by the notion that Digimon is not and will never be cut out to be an adults’ franchise.  It wasn’t designed for adults, and it can’t be skewered towards adults.  These particular characters were designed for kids to relate to and find entertaining.  They do not work when placed into an adult setting.  Like, can you imagine a character like Ed from FMA going to the Digimon world?  I guess in a way that’s just Marcus but like.  Just imagine the FMA cast in Digimon Adventure.  It doesn’t work.  Digimon Tri is basically that except real.  Also Data Squad was darker than Adventure so my joke doesn’t even work.

I guess my primary point is that Tri isn’t mature enough of a setup for an adult audience.  It puts a focus on being “complex” and “philosophical” instead of working within Digimon’s constraints and making something good and adult out of that.  Like!  Digimon is a fucking TOY COMMERCIAL.  Don’t give me messages about the futility of human life.  I want bad puns and emotional characters.  That’s what Digimon has ALWAYS been, and ideally always will be.  Tri could’ve made itself more mature by dealing with the ramifications of the Digital World’s events, how it affected the kids psychologically and dealing with healing old scars.  It would’ve been a more mature take on a story we loved and would use things we loved about the story already - the fact that it took so much time exploring characters’ emotions and was surprisingly mature for the time - to make itself better.  You need to take the aspects that drew adults to the show and amplify them, not just slap on a complex story and unfunny dialogue and be like “oh this is fine, right?”

It’s not that Digimon can’t exist as an adult property, its just that if it repeats what Tri did, it’s got no merit and in my eyes the franchise is dead.  If it survives I guess I’ll be happy that people can still enjoy it but I find it unsustainable and unsatisfying to fans of the older series.  Tri is just a fuckfest of highly specific nostalgia that tries too hard to appeal to old fans without capturing what made the original series so magical, and in part thats because the original series WASN’T FOR ADULTS.  I don’t know about the Digimon Story games, bc they’re T-rated so perhaps they’re a better take on an adult Digimon story than Tri?  But you either need to make your own characters and lore specifically for an adult-oriented Digimon season, or perish.  Also, please make it a series and not a group of movies.  Getting four eps every 6-9 months was hell.

I stand by saying Appmon is a more faithful Digimon season than Tri to Digimon’s original spirit.  I believe it holds more potential for success than Tri and better embodies the spirit of the older Digimon seasons.  It’s dumb, its corny, it has horrible puns, but I LOVE it because it also has a deep dark story and emotional moments.  If you dislike Tri and you agree with things I said that make it unlikeable, I highly recommend giving Appmon a chance - if you watch a few episodes and think “oh yeah, I guess this is decent” you’re going to like it.  It’s everything Digimon has always been and hopefully always will be, just with a different concept.  And hopefully the end of the series doesn’t leave a sour taste in my mouth and I have to redact this statement haha since I’m not done with it yet, but I’ve heard good things about it so I’m hoping not so.

Overall, if you watch Tri, don’t get your hopes up.  It resolves everything okay-ish but it’s a pretty forgettable anime on its own and simply doesn’t work as part of the Digimon franchise.

I am, however, pretty interested in what evil!gennai said at the end about Diaboromon and Daemon.  It raises interesting questions about the timeline too.  We know Daemon is in the dark ocean, so perhaps that’s a hint at a future project?  (They did confirm a future project btw, in conjunction with tri being over)  But what about Diaboromon?  I dont believe that Our War Game (I think thats what its called?) took place after Tri, based on the outfits and ages and stuff, but I also don’t remember the movies that well.  Could Diaboromon still be out there too?  It’s interesting.

However, because of the lackluster performance of Tri, I don’t have my hopes up and I really hope that this “next project” goes in a different direction.  Although I guess if they include the 02 kids, I’ll be somewhat less salty...

Side note, did they ever explain why the gennais went evil?  Like ?  That’s a pretty important thing.  The gennais helped SAVE the human world in 02.  And I get that apparently Tri is ignoring 02′s ending but still.  It’s shitty, because Gennai was still a good guy in the original too (and also they cant just keep is younger look and act like 02 never happened)  MAYBE its something I missed but I dont think so.  God there’s just.  So much wrong with Tri.  I’m very displeased and very bitter and I wanna get back to Appmon asap.

It’s got good moments, its got bad moments, I dont know, I don’t care.  There’s nothing wrong with you if you like it, there’s nothing wrong with you if you don’t, and there’s nothing wrong with you if you flip flop and are split like me.  I just wish Tri fulfilled its potential instead of becoming a boring mess.
