@taikouvember Day 3 - Sincerity: "A mask, so to speak"

Even though this is an AU scenario, following a series of other comics for my Miraculous Tentobug AU, the theme of "masking their insecurities (while simultaneously putting the other on a pedestal)", in my opinion, applies to them at various points in canon as well. The superhero alias for this Koushirou is the equivalent of novel!Koushirou's initial attitude of "feeling like a worthless human being, only knowing how to use a computer" - an attitude Taichi would absolutely not approve of once he knew about it. Taichi on the other hand, regardless of the universe, will always struggle with a sense of guilt and indecisiveness, wanting to protect everyone and being more than willing to sacrifice himself for those he adores and regards highly... They both feel like they're just "using" their most prominent attributes to mask their true selves - thus, they're both unable to genuinely see their own best qualities. So in the end, since they never felt like they could open up to anybody about these insecurities, reassuring one another is the best that could happen to them. Because even if they may not know everything about each other yet - including their identities -, they can still see the other for who they are and what they're capable of. And maybe, just maybe, they simply adore each other a little too much...

Digimon Headcanons

Haven't really ever written these down but here are some of my random headcanons...

1. The partner digimon grow up alongside their partners, instead of staying the same size while the humans get bigger. The older / more mature a digimon gets, the larger they are- a newly evolved agumon is going to be a bit smaller than an older agumon.

2. (Refer to 1) Gabumon is the largest of all the partner digimon, and full grown, comes up to Yamato's shoulder (excluding their horn). They're not extremely tall, but their body is large / dinosaur-like. Agumon is the same way, but a little shorter. I'd imagine they're both 200 to 250 lbs? Idk.

3. Digimon keep scars from battle. For example, if Piyomon gets an injury as Garudamon, she'll only have the scar when she's Garudamon, not when she devolves to Piyomon.

4. Digimon actually reproduce, although it's not super common. After all, if a digimon gets permanently deleted and doesn't return, then eventually there'll be none left.

5. When a digimon dies, they leave a body behind, and it's only their soul / data that gets reincarnated. But for special cases, like Angemon against Devimon, they disintegrate completely (Angemon used all their data for their final attack against Devimon, and it included destroying the data of their own body). This means that Digimon can eat other digimon.

6. (Relates to 5) During the Chosen's original adventures, their partners would occasionally hunt other digimon in order to get supplies, whether it be furs to keep the kids warm / make clothes or last-resort food if there was nothing to scavenge

7. Mimi gets pretty good at cutting hair. Taichi still won't let her touch his hair, and instead ties it half-up in a ponytail when it gets too long. She and Taichi did braid Yamato's hair in his sleep once (only with Gabumon's permission of course)

8. The Chosen's adventure lasts 5 years- 3 years from the start of their adventure to Vamdemon / where they return to the real world, then once they return to the digital world, they spend 2 years fighting the dark masters. Their bodies grow up during this time to young adulthood, but revert to their 9-13 year old bodies during the Vamdemon arc. When they return to the digital world they are once again young adults. At the end of their adventure, they choose to stay with their digimon and make their lives in the Digital World, much to Gennai's dismay.

9. Yamato has little holes and cuts on his gloves- more so than the other's (wear and tear, etc), and small scars on his fingers from using knives and cooking food for the group. He's a decent cook at the beginning of their adventures, but still needs a bit of practice. He's only 12 at the beginning of their adventure, and over the next 5 years he grows to be a much better cook.

10. Jyou is (naturally) the group's doctor. When the Chosen return to the real world, Jyou makes sure to pack up on medical supplies, and steals his brother's medical college textbooks, anything he might find useful. If there's a book on burns, breaks and injuries, he'll take it. He may or may not have shop lifted a CVS or two. Heck, all these kids pilfer stores in the real world, they get good at sneaking around. Yamato (steals) brings small spice packs in a carry on bag that he can use when cooking fish, any meat the digimon bring back from hunting.

11. Everyone gets their fair share of injuries- Taichi loses a finger or two, Yamato gets slashed across the face (he's lucky he didn't lose an eye, according to Jyou), Sora gets a pretty nasty gash in her leg at one point, Koushirou dislocates his arm, Takeru gets a pretty bad concussion, Hikari gets ill on more than one occasion, Jyou's foot gets impaled (giant thorn? Idk. He has to treat it himself and that's not fun. He walks Sora through doing stitches), and Mimi breaks a couple ribs. Other than these, the occasional scratch or twisted ankle happens every so often.

12. The Chosen have a designated bath and wash day, and all of them spend a day bathing / washing their clothes / fur blankets, etc. Jyou uses this day as a 'checkup' day to make sure no one has any injuries they're hiding (implemented after Koushirou tried to hide a nasty bruise on his ankle. He didn't want to bother anyone about it). When everyone and their partners are bathing, Gabumon sits to the side and watches over everyone / stands guard. May or may not be jealous of the others bathing with their partners, but would rather stay dry. Plus, Yamato is the only person they'll allow to see them without their fur.

Okay that's all I can think of for now, but maybe I'll do another Headcanons post! This was fun and at least I have some written down now.

hear me out

[reliablejoukido]

Working on character expressions for my Lost AU text boxes. I used Taichi's Kizuna character art as a base and went from there.

Any suggestions on expressions that are missing? 'Confusion' was suggested, which I will definitely add.

I'm also realizing his clothes seem a little too neat for a plane crash survivor on a creepy island. But the images are so tiny, I dunno if it matters? Let me know!

Corrupted DigiDestined AU

Aka- Another Digimon AU That's Me Just Spinning Gears and Playing With an Old Post

(This is not reboot continuity- I just needed a pretty picture.)

I've seen this concept done in three ways-

Outright turn the kids stereotypically evil. This works in the short term, but it's not good for character anaylsis/DigiDestined rotation. The "quick and dirty" option, basically.

Invert the Crests. So the Crest of Courage becomes the Crest of Fear. I found only one cool Tim Burton-esque art set that did this well. I can't find it now. But generally, I've never been satisfied with these. Especially because they have to work around the "Crest of Darkness" every goddamn time...

Work with the kids' weaknesses. So the Crest of Courage becomes the Crest of Recklessness. This is probably my favorite option.

I want to go more in-depth on the last one, and that's why we've gathered here today. Only instead of just working with the canon weaknesses...what if I tweaked the kids's pasts so their "worst event" never happened? What kind of people would they become?

Also alternate Digimon partners because wheeeee I like them.

(TW for mentions of abuse, manipulation, and hinted major character/child death.)

Tai- The Crest of Arrogance

Impmon-> Punkmon-> Loudmon-> HeavyMetaldramon

This was an easy one because he's my blorbo. The event I chose to erase was also an easy pick. What if Tai never brought Kari out to play soccer that day? I rotated this for a bit and concluded that the athletics aspect of his character would take over, making him a sort of asshole jock type.

Tai still possesses a natural charisma, leadership ability, and recklessness. But his rule is delivered with an iron fist. It doesn't matter if he's on the soccer pitch or in the Digital World. His rule is simply law. His leadership potential and cruelty are magnified to the point that even adults don't want to get on his bad side.

Tai's self-centered and not afraid to bash your face in if you disagree with him. Your name doesn't have to be "Matt" either. He thinks of himself as a great hero, and anyone who disagrees with him must be another antagonist there to ruin his day. But in reality, he's barely keeping the group together with glue made of terror.

Impmon may be a cliche choice, but I chose him for his Punkmon evolution line. They're still reptilian, while also being loud, belligerent, and always looking for a fight. I also just like HeavyMetaldramon in general. He's got a dumb name I can't help but love, plus he looks like another favorite who will come into play later.

Matt- The Crest of Manipulation

Gazimon-> Sangloupmon-> Astamon-> GranDracmon

Matt's "special event" was obvious, too. His parents never got divorced in this AU (an event that will come into play with TK too, naturally). Since this event controls a lot more of Matt's character than Tai's event, I had to think a minute for him. I decided to fuck with his sense of empathy and dub characterization. Because Matt can be as emotionally mature and sensitive as Sora, even if he can't always make that obvious.

So what if he used that trait for evil?

On the surface, Matt's the cool rebel of the group. His suave surface nature makes him easy to approach. One might even call him a friend, even if they know nothing about him. However, he knows how to play with feelings. Like any good instrument, you keep plucking strings until you get the result you and. And that's exactly how Matt views people. Before you can blink, he's got what he wanted and dumped you on the side of the road.

Astamon and GranDracmon are both smooth-talking demon Digimon. Astamon attracts a lot of followers, while GranDracmon can talk any angel Digimon into "falling down". I figured they'd be a perfect fit (though I was admittedly thinking of the Astamon from Young Hunters). Gazimon and Sangloupmon kept the canine theme without being Gabumon recolors.

(Fun fact- I've used this line before for an OC, but that character was (in the end) benign.)

Sora- The Crest of Ambition

Dracumon-> BlackGatomon-> Bastemon-> Lilithmon

It would have been easy to make Sora the emotional manipulator. Too easy. And it wouldn't have anything to do with her issue- namely, her controlling mother. But what if her mother was a little more lax? No- MORE lax than that. What if she supported her daughter no matter what- even if those ambitions skewed too extreme?

Woe be to anyone who gets in this Sora's way. It doesn't matter what she has her eye on. She'll get it, and she'll gladly step on you if you get in the way. She's never heard "no" before, and has no time or desire to hear it from you.

Her Crest of Love has become a type of Lust, but not in the sexual sense. It's desire. Passion. It's never-ending want. The cup is never full for Sora. There's still more drink to be had. There will never be enough.

I worked my way backwards from Lilithmon, choosing Digimon with mind control abilities and ambitious personalities. This means we get a recolor of Gatomon- despite my efforts to avoid recolors of the canon crew- but oh well.

Joe- The Crest of Sloth

Phascomon-> Porcupamon-> Mephismon-> Belphemon

Joe's "problem" in Adventure is also heavy expectations, much like Sora. Taking them away could result in an overly ambitious character. But for Joe, I went the opposite direction. What if he was a person with no ambitions at all?

Paralyzed by his own fears and no goal in life, Joe is more follower than leader. He carries out orders without a thought to his own life or safety, because he believes his life to be meaningless. With certain people in this corrupted crew, however, that means he's carrying out plenty of evil deeds. He's not necessarily evil himself, however- just without direction.

I worked my way back from a Demon Lord again- this time Belphemon. He's naturally the Demon Lord of Sloth (for those who don't live in the Digital World inside their minds). I chose Mephismon just to connect the Champion to the Mega, and also because he's a demonic Digimon.

And that's about it for Joe. I wish I could do more, but it's hard to add personality to a character with no goals.

Mimi- The Crest of Selfishness

Aruraumon-> Zassomon-> Blossomon-> Rafflesimon

Otamamon->ShogunGekomon (warp)

Mimi doesn't have family issues like the rest of the cast. The problem is she's spoiled. So instead of erasing her backstory, I decided to erase her character development. Certain events like Sora convincing her to leave the Gekomon don't happen in this timeline. They can't, after all, with how different everyone else is.

This results in a Mimi who only acts in her own self interest. Maybe not at first. Maybe she thinks the others are pure evil. But that changes. Thanks to the attention lavished upon her by the Otamamon and Gekomon, she's essentially Princess Mimi full time. Woe be to the poor idiot who gets under her high heels!

I decided to go with recolors for this line just because it made more sense to corrupt Palmon than to invent a new partner. Perhaps Mimi was originally a "pure" force introduced to keep the others in line. But her own flaws were waiting to consume her...

Also- similar to how Leomon was able to digivolve thanks to Tai's Digivice, one of the Otamamon gained the same power from Mimi's. That's why she has two Digimon. And you can bet others like Chuumon/Sukamon, the Numemon, and more follow the army of Princess Mimi.

Izzy- The Crest of Intellect

Hagurumon-> Mekanorimon-> Vademon-> EBEmon

I know what you're thinking- I'm a lazy-ass and replaced "Knowledge" with a synonym. And you're right! But with the event I removed being Izzy's knowledge of his adoption, his intelligence didn't go away. Instead of retreating, he expanded outwards. Think Ken when he was roleplaying the Digimon Emperor, but with no Wormmon to hold him back.

Izzy is smarter than you and he knows it. Similar to Matt, he's outplayed you before you can even say hello. He doesn't have Matt's charm, but he doesn't need it. You're too stupid to counteract him, anyway. He can hack your systems before you've realized a single thing amiss. Maybe he'll even let you believe things are fine for a day or two...

Like Sora and Mimi, he hasn't encountered any problems. A snag in Izzy's plans is always temporary. But hit him in his unstable emotional core, and you may have a chance of saving your laptop. But the resulting revenge is bound to be devastating....

I was going to do a full machine Digimon line, but then veered into Vademon. The big brain design caught my attention. Also, since regular Izzy had troubles with a Vademon, having his dark half master this Digimon has interesting implications for my brain.

TK- The Crest of Terror

DemiDevimon-> Devidramon->DexDoruGreymon-> Megidramon

Remember how I cut the divorce from canon? This means TK grew up with Matt, who- in this timeline- is an emotional abuser. And of course, his favorite target is his doting little brother, who will do anything he says.

Like Joe, TK's not evil. He just lives in a constant state of fear. He'll apologize as his Digimon tears you into bite-sized pieces- all while proclaiming his love for his brother. Whether Matt tells him to act as a distraction or kill, it doesn't matter. He'll do it, knowing he'll get no reward.

But TK wants a reward. Matt's his whole world. It's always been that way. Unfortunately he sees no other existence. Without Matt, he simply doesn't exist.

Megidramon is one of my favorite Digimon, so I had to squeeze him in somehow. I like to think TK's partner is a manifestation of his true feelings. Though he loves his brother, he's also disgusted by him. If given the slightest bit of leash, he'd turn the monster loose on Matt- and regret it for the rest of his life.

(And yes- a DemiDevimon did mess with TK in canon...convincing him his brother didn't love him...it's only a matter of time...)

Kari- The Crest of Despair

Salamon-> Meicoomon->Meicrackmon Vicious Mode-> Mastemon

Despair is kind of similar to Darkness, and I've seen it used on a few of these sorts of things. But it's not like "the opposite of Light is Darkness" because it's an actual character trait. And it's a direction Kari could go without her brother's love to support her.

Kari's in a similar boat as TK. She's lived her whole life with a bastard of a brother. But she also has a host of illnesses. Just once, she'd love her brother to visit her in the hospital. But he never came. Soccer was a useful excuse, or else his parents were too scared to command him.

Now, they're trapped in the Digital World together, and it's no secret that Kari's the chain around Tai's ankle. He certainly hasn't kept that information from her, finally losing his patience when she falls ill in Machinedramon's territory. She always held on to hope that he was a good big brother deep down. Now proven wrong, she's in a vegetative state of despair.

Like with Mimi, I just corrupted Gatomon instead of making a new character. But I started from her Rookie stage of Salamon. We're gonna pretend tri. never happened for this. As for Mastemon? Gatomon DID reach her Angewomon stage, and that data still exists within her. But it mixed with the dark despair created by her partner. Instead of falling entirely, she became a deadly being that exists between light and darkness.

Odds and Ends

This ramble does imply that evil Digimon like Myotismon were still killed. This was not out of charity. They simply got in the way and were disposed of.

The Digital World still chose the kids during the Greymon/Parrotmon fight, when they were young and innocent, having no idea what would happen in the future. Mimi was the OG damage control, with a pure and sincere nature that might be able to purify the others.

When Mimi failed, Kari's shining light had to take over. It worked for a little while- mostly for TK and Joe, who are not malicious.

When Tai polished off Kari's light, TK finally snapped. His Megidramon responded to his anger, attempting to destroy Tai. This Digimon ran into a blockade in the form of HeavyMetaldramon. Not sure which of the two would win this fight, but it would be cool at least. The loser probably wouldn't make it out alive, though...

As previously mentioned, tri didn't happen. 02 still could, with Davis/Cody/Yolei/non-evil Ken being the third attempt to keep these damn kids in line. Maybe they receive help from TK, Joe, and what's left of Kari. But that's an AU within an AU and I'm already tired.

Mimi never returned to the Real World when the castle has all she wants. She mostly operates from there, keeping in touch with the others via Digimon like Soundbirdmon.

That's about it. You can play around with this if you want. Just shoot me a credit/link so I can see what you did. I made this while half-awake at 10 PM so it's just a lot of bullshit, anyway.

@taikouvember Day 7 - Kindness / Miracles: "Absolutely Dating"

Initially, this wasn't even meant to be part of Taikouvember, as I had merely been on a concept design spree just a few months ago... However, the more I thought about this art, which started off as nothing more than a simple doodle for the "Miraculous Tentobug & AguNoir AU", the more I realized... Basically, it is a representation of miracles. Hikari - who functions as the time-traveling equivalent of Bunnyx in the Miraculous Ladybug AU - would definitely tease her (pretty much clueless) brother in the past about his potential future love life. Miraculous Ladybug is a series that revolves around wishes in a similar way as Digimon does and evolution is also a theme that appears in both of them, so... Why not dream about a future in which these two would keep fighting alongside each other as partners in crime, achieving higher power levels that pay homage to to their Digimon partner's evolution levels (WarGreymon and HerculesKabuterimon in this case)... And being absolutely lovey-dovey in the process?

(I also initially had a design that contained less black in Koushirou's design, but I still felt like including it, because it still looks interesting!)
