Ppl really need to start talking about Matt's depressive thoughts in 01. Im watching Ep44 rn and listening to him talk about how he feels worthless since t.k. is growing up and 'doesn't need him anymore' is just wow. He talks about how he wants to change and get stronger, etc, so he'll have more value to the team since he believes everyone has evolved in their own ways except for him. He feels bad about always blowing up at people. He feels like the crest of friendship isn't really right because he doesnt think he belongs in the group anymore. I think wondering about your worth and place in the world, or even a smaller group, is something that everyone has questioned at some point or another. It's one of the things I love about digimon. It's very realistic. A lot of kids shows with child main characters don't usually show the flaws in their life. They don't show the affects saving the world over and over again and constantly fighting has on a child like digimon does. I think digimon also has sooo many very angsty plot lines, but nobody really talks about them. Gotsumon and pumpkinmons 'deaths(?)', the dark ocean (surprisingly), Kari getting sick, the several times where the kids are being literally manipulated (like with demidevimon/literally everyone, Matt/Cherrymon, etc). And don't even get me started on tri cause so much shit happened, and it was terrible for the kids, but i never see anyone talk about it. Like the chosen children must be so traumatized from all the years of violence.

Festive Vibes in April - Part II [Part I]

[apiratefellinlovewithastar]

I’m a simple pal. you give me a character who loves their siblings fiercely and unconditionally and I will IMMEDIATELY stan them until my dying breath

[gulava]

When a boy puts his whole entire existence into being someone who’s needed by his loved one in order to cope with his own feelings of helplessness caused by the divorce of his parents that he doesn’t realize he’s actually the one who needs his loved one so much so that when he feels like he’s no longer needed by them, he loses his sense of purpose and, with that, his identity.

Takeru, Miyako, Hikari & Iori, Lost in a crowd and can't find Daisuke + Ken: This calls for-- Hikari: --"Drastic Measures". Takeru, hands cupped around mouth SHOUTING: KEN IS A [rEDACTED Swearing combo Learnt from French side and also via Mimi {once lived in U.S.} + YAMATO] JERK DAISUKE, IMMEDIATELY: WHAT DID YOU JUST SAY--- KEN: E-Excuse me??? (I Mean, I Kind of *Was*--) Takeru: There they Are. Miyako: (*can't help snickering in the background*) Iori, staring at Takeru wide eyed: ?!??! Hikari: (I knew Takeru had learnt some of that over the years, but this was New.) DAISUKE, Ken following behind: TakerU THAT WAS UNCOOL--- Takeru: But we found you. Ken: (It's true)

Me, looking around my old Digi-O.C.s site C.D.: ... "Myotismon" in this super old thing I wrOTE: "This {"world" you live in} is *an alternate world* {from 'my own'}! You can thank (TAKERU) T.K. TAKAISHI and his silly NOVEL for THAT. Because of HIM, this {real} world is a NEW reality in which THE {Original} DIGI-DESTINED {I KNOW} never EXISTED!" m E: (GENUINELY having forgotten I wrote that in) I can't BELIEVE ""T.K."" ALSO accidentally created the Repeatverse {+before This Site even Existed}

[koushirouizumi]

{Also, Takeru AT SOME POINT eventually gets sent This}

M E: (*TAKES DEEP BREATH*) Someone: Hey, why do you ship something so unusual, you know it'll never be canon righ--- m E: YES, I love TAKEMIYA aka MIYAKERU, I GET IT OK, I love TAKEMIYA, TAKEMIYA is a Brightest F*cking Starshine CRACK-SHIP aka RARE PAIR in My Life since my childhood days in this fan base, I f*cking ADORE THEM (+UNTIL THE END OF TIME AND WHEN THIS SERIES IS TRULY 'OVER'), YES okay y E S, I love TAKEMIYA, I DO also love Takeru and Miyako SEPARATELY, but I also love them TOGETHER, HOW many times are We Gonna Go Through This, I F*CKING LOVE TAKEMIYA BECAUSE WHEN I WAS YOUNG ME I WROTE THEM INTO AN 02 O.C.s based fic once AND I NEVER GOT OVER THEM AND THIS WAS BEFORE I EVEN GOT TO SEE THE 02 FINALE, yes I KNOW what happens in it, I do NOT dismiss that ship, in fact, if anything, I think it makes Take+Miya even more hilarious when you involve poly-ship dynamics and Shenanigans involving that character AND others, anyway all you need to know about the Take+Miya I once wrote is they initially act like the "Love-Love {Rabu-Rabu} couple" trainer class in that other Monster battling franchise after temporarily getting together during in-between years or just like any of the generally mushy battle duos and it confuses the f*ck out of EVERYONE else how they even came to form that dynamic and its HILARIOUS, meanwhile once amicably broken up with Takeru on good terms Miyako is making eyes at a certain Someone Else from afar in between and that person is just like only partly Oblivious all the way up until "The Beginning" era and possibly a little beyond, meanwhile Takeru is realizing Takeru's Very Not Over Miyako but then Takeru's also having OTHER Realizations about Self-

Happy Holidays, @dnofsunshine !!

I was your @digisecretsanta, and I wanted to give you a little comic featuring the Takaishida brothers! Even when they’re not in the same place, they’re thinking of each other (Takeru is a bit cheeky as always, and Yamato will go so far as to strike a pose for the camera, but only for his little bro!). Not pictured: the Knife of Day/World on the Knife Christmas concert earlier, where Yamato gave Takeru that new hat, and Takeru gave Yamato a CD that he and Gabumon are listening to right now :D)

I included color versions of Takeru’s selfies below the cut, since I know he’s your favorite. Hope you’re having a wonderful holiday season, and a restful (hat-filled?) remainder of 2023!

31 Days of Digimon, Day 3:

a little headcanon/fic concept? <3 (excludes tri)

hikari has a tiktok account. it's totally for her love of photography, sweets, bullet journaling, and maybe a little gaming. maybe she gets a little bit of an cult following because one of her cats is normal but the other one talks and—what the fuck is this, pokémon?

holy shit, wow, okay, so her friends have weird creatures that can talk, too. wasn't this some big thing, years ago? creatures battling for the earth or something? or is it AI? (imagine botw-level shit, where everyone in hyrule is just like, oh okay. this is happening.)

bonus points if takeru has an account, maybe not very popular, and nobody believes him when he says he's related to the yamato ishida from Knife of Day, but yamato shows up in his tiktoks sometimes. a little side plot to hikari's thing that would be fun to explore.

[seventeenlovesthree]

I really enjoy these posts. Something I had commented makes me wonder if you could go into more detail about.

And that is how Takeru and Yamato have inverse perspectives when it comes to sovialdynamics.

Takeru notices things about individuals from a personal perspective, however Yamato notices things about others from a group perspective.

Just wondering if you could go into that some more.

Taichi and Hikari also have a similar but different dynamic. I just think these dynamics between the sibling pairs is awesome and it’s amazing to contrast them!

Mhhh, that is definitely an angle I have never thought about before. Whereas I believe that I have the dynamics of the Yagami siblings pretty much figured out for the most part, the Takaishida brothers are a completely different beast.

But what you said there really got me thinking - it makes sense that they've got different perception styles, based on how their priority systems are functioning.

Throughout the course of Adventure - keep in mind that they're pretty much both still children here -, their main focuses are very different:

Yamato's main objective is to take care of Takeru, so the majority of his actions, decisions and even his aggravations revolve around this perspective. While he obviously still interacts with most of the other characters, his bonds are not as elaborated on - he even realizes that he doesn't fully understand what "friendship" means by himself. And I maintain that this is BECAUSE he is hyperfocusing on protecting Takeru at all costs, mending their bond, being there and being needed by him. If he gets mad at Taichi and his decisions, you can assume it's because he is worried that they may affect Takeru negatively. The same applies when he gets mad at Jyou, at Sora, the pattern continues. He IS observant of his surroundings, but more as an outside observer who has to keep everything - and thus, the whole group - in mind to keep his brother safe. He may also project his own perceptions onto the group, which is why he shouts at Taichi to be more considerate and leave everyone time to mourn.

Takeru's main objective on the other hand is not to be perceived as a burden. He is painfully aware that he is the youngest member of the group, "a kid and a crybaby", he already deals with abandonment issues that are only fueled further by the events taking place... It's pretty obvious that he adores his new found family and wants to be part of it at all costs, he wants to be equal, not to be underestimated. That's why he seeks to be close to those who validate him - such as Taichi or Sora, who don't belittle him and his emotions, but encourage and even give him tasks of higher responsibility, such as protecting Hikari. And since he hates to see the group drift apart, he will go out of his way to keep the team together - like I pointed out, he knew exactly how to cheer Sora up and validate her in return!

Analyzing their behavioural patterns in 02 and onwards is a little bit more difficult. 02 in particular is turning their characterizations on the head a little; Takeru is more prone to "generalization", he still watches and observes the behaviour of people around him and adapts accordingly (like playing the troll towards Daisuke or the protective shield towards Hikari - whom he also hyperfocuses on btw.), but he tends to think very black and white when it comes to the power of darkness. And considering his past experiences, that makes perfect sense, because darkness threatens his found family and he can't let that happen. Yamato on the other hand, ever since his own dark cave moment in Adventure, is a lot softer in 02 and approaches people a bit more personally (like when he drags Taichi out of his self-doubts, talks to Iori about Takeru's trauma or explains to Koushirou's mother why her son is worried about her).

Tri isn't exactly making Yamato anti-social again, but puts more emphasis on him getting angry and shouty once more; sure, he had those moments in 02 too, but this time, his hyperfocus does not revolve around Takeru, but Taichi. I still believe that he has moments where he is observant towards others (like whenever he is protecting Meiko), but the majority of his actions, group-related or not, have Taichi, his state of mind and behaviour, at the back of his head. He investigates things on his own and offers to abandon Omegamon because he feels Taichi is not ready for the burden, he takes over the role of the leader for Taichi's sake, etc. (A similar situation happens in the stageplay, even though the main focal point here is Gabumon.)

Takeru feels a little more like an extension of his Adventure self here, he is still dealing with self-esteem issues (hence why he and Meiko keep apologizing to each other whenever they talk), his biggest fear is to see the found family or even just single members (Digimon included) disappear and so, paying attention to them individually is crucial (like validating Sora, taking care of Koushirou, teasing Yamato, etc.).

In Kizuna onwards, Yamato has a hard time staying in touch with the majority of the group aside from Chosen Children duty, but he is still resourceful and goes investigating on his own, knowing that the 02 group may be capable of providing vital information. Takeru on the other hand is fully engulfed in focusing on his writing career, so him being observant has not only manifested as a part of his personality, but it's a thing he enjoys for the sake of his future profession as well.

Tl;dr: I personally feel like Yamato is a lot more goal- and less people-oriented, which may sound contradictory, because his goals DO revolve around certain individuals he hyperfocuses on. He tries to be empathetic, but not for the sake of the individuals, but for the sake of THAT one individual. (I hope I could put that into words well, maybe I need to sleep over it once again, it's just really difficult to convey what I mean.) Takeru on the other hand is more people-oriented due to his abandonment issues, which is why he may be paying closer attention to how and why people act in certain ways.

[apiratefellinlovewithastar]

thinking bout Taichi thinking about how Takeru is watching and how he will be alone and defenseless if anything happens to Yamato right before pushing Yamato off the edge so that he doesn’t get caught in the miasma arms

[beginningobserver]

Y'know, peeps making a fuss with the baby Yagami siblings cameo scene in the Rui's memories time-travel sort-of part of the movie makes me think about ANOTHER THING.

So, you know Hikarigaoka is a small neighborhood right? There's high chances that Taichi, Hikari have seen Rui-kun and vice-versa before the Yagamis moved out. Or even, the Takaishida bros, Mimi, Koushiro, Sora and Jou might have seen each other at least once (and before everyone moved out. Tho i don't know if Rui and his parents moved from Hikarigaoka too, possibly not. I can't tell now and i can't even check the movie yet alas)

It would've been funny if they did, and then one day they're just chatting about something from the 1995 (it doesn't need to be about the Greymon vs Parrotmon event!) and then Rui goes like "Wait a minute. I think I saw you before when I was a toddler" kind of realization.

Don't ya think, folks? It would've been funnier if they all "indirectly met" before hehe.

(note: idk if there's a specific word by this... I mean passing by a stranger in the street, and then years later getting in contact with them?)
