I love Chiaki is a ballerina in your future Au. Don't ask but I thought in GG Calamara danced like a balerina and I thought about it back then but also Rana had balerina poses like when she bends to make the mist

I won’t hide the Calamaramon from GG actually sealed that headcanon in my mind with all those twirls looking like the pirouettes of a ballerina…? But I mean look at this, absolutely yes💕💕💕.

And I also get the Ranamon thing, yes. There was a fanfiction on EFP (italians’ fanfiction site lmaoo) where Ranamon’s movements were described like the ones of a ballerina and YESSS, she absolutely performs pliè, for example, but also when she raises her hands to join them in the air wwwwwwww, her gait, her poses WWWWWWWW. She’s such a graceful being.

Tbh I chose ballet for Chiaki, over her being a soprano, because I was fascinated by the fact in late XIX and XX century’s literature the figure of the ballerina is a symbol of vacuity and deceit. She both represents the fascination of art and its artifice. Since Ranamon is a veeeery vain, to the limits of extreme shallowness, I did want Chiaki to be like that to create a faint connection.

Moreover, being a boring person loving these kinds of motifs, I often like playing with the concept of the illusion embodied by life on a stage. So, Chiaki is a ballerina but also an actress, Teruo is more a theatre man ( but he’s also a countertenor) Junpei is a tenor fooling around with both theatre and acting and voice acting for children stuff maybe, as well, because talk to the man about kids and he will be happy to oblige. In the past ,in my head, they used to be a tenor, a soprano and a countertenor, but then I told myself, -also after having watched synchronized swimming at the Olympics from years ago-, I could go beyond opera. Even if…Ballet is connected with opera so————-

Chiaki as a soprano would have been great lol and I do believe in some other AU of mine I would go for that route. I wish I could have been able to add Izumi and make the stage trio a quartet, but Izumi just…Threw her possibilities into modelling in canon. Funny as freak if Junzumi would meet again as actors in a romantic film. THAT’S another idea I would like to play with someday. I MEAN THERE IS A WORLD OF AUs I CAN COME UP WITH. WHY BEING BORING.

A Little Something Extra!

Here's the second half of the character images I had to make for the result page. For the most part, I use the anime's design sheet images for the results page since those are clear, full body, transparent images. These characters didn't have any available so I made them myself. Use them however you see fit. Also, apologies for the scattershot order. I organized the files by dimensions to minimize weird cropping.

1/2/3

Star and Stripe - Miyashita - Sansa Tamakawa

Mr. and Mrs. Uraraka - Kudou - USJ Nomu

Queen Bee - Mika Jiro - Totally Not Kakashi from Naruto

Ippan Josei - Teruo Unagisawa - Crust

Hound Dog - Masaru Bakugou - Onima

Kido - Nobu - Satsuki Asui

Bibimi Kenranzaki - Roro Soul - Crimson Riot

Mitsuki Bakguou - Tsutsutaka Agoyamoto - Kenji Tsuragamae

Kotaro Shimura - Nana Shimura - Mawata Fuwa

Higake Shinomori - Komari Ikoma - Power Loader

WAIT IF HIS QUIRK MAKES HIM STRONGER THE MORE EMBARRASED HE IS, DOES THAT MEAN HE'S FLASHING EVERYONE TO BECOME POWERFUL?! That's freaking hilarious.

Do you have any explanation why in the anniversary merch Junpei is opposed to Mercury and not Grottemon like in the series?

Well, I admit it stroke me as weird too, but taking in consideration Blitzmon is from the Metal Empire I can see him in opposition to Steel, more than Ground honestly. If Blitzmon turns to be black/green in the new BT from June, the matching would be confirmed.

And am I complaining????? Mercurymon is into theatre, Junpei is into opera. The Takuya VS Blackseraphymon battle has got no longer sense to me any more when we could get two men of stage fighting and understanding each other about “acts” , “finale”. THEY GET IDEAS TOO LATE WHEN IT COMES TO JUNPEI, OK, I’M TELLING YOU.

I wonder if Junpei would have a rivalry with Teruo ngl. Teruo looks a bit lame to me, but I can imagine him being, idk, a COUNTER-TENOR Junpei suddenly meets on stage.

I CAN TOTALLY SEE IT. NOW I KNOW.

So, your DF sequel has those four kids in Episodes 40 & 41. Which Spirits will each one get and why? Where are Takuya, Koji, Zoe, JP, and Koichi in all this?

First ask, woo!

When deciding what spirits went to what kids, my main deciding factor was color palettes.

Lmao, it sounds silly but look:

Each of our protagonists' color palettes reflect the spirit they're assigned to (though a first time viewer who looks at this picture could guess that Koji, J.P, or maybe Zoe were associated with water due to the blues in their ensemble).

With that in mind, Chiaki gets the Spirit of Water and Teppei gets the Spirit of Earth.

And if we're going to follow that rule strictly, then that would mean Katsuharu gets the Spirit of Wood and Teruo gets the Spirit Steel, since Katsuharu's color palette has more hues of brown than Teruo's...

HOWEVER

Given that we know the most about Katsuharu, and the fact that he's a leader, a bit self-aggrandizing, and a former bully, his personality parallels Mercurymon, who manipulated others into getting his desires fulfilled, acted on his own accord, is the most notorious, and although he wasn't the leader of the Corrupted Spirits, he was arguably the most capable.

So instead, I wanted to give Katsuharu the Spirit of Steel and Teruo the Spirit of Wood.

But at the same time, it'd be interesting to give the Spirit of Steel to Teruo, a character we know little about. It's tempting, if I change it last minute, no I didn't lmao.

The premise might need a bit of reworking, but initially, the six Digidestined had received messages on their cell phones telling them to meet at the Shibuya Station four years later after the events of Frontier. However, for reasons, Tommy doesn't make it and the others wait for as long as they can before heading off.

A year passes and Takuya, Koji, Zoe, J.P, and Koichi are still missing. Tommy not only is worried, but suspicious. Time didn't pass during the first visit to the Digital World, so why now? What's even more strange is that other unidentifiable creatures seem to be teleporting in and out all over the world, as if they're fading out like a hologram. So when he receives a second message calling him to the Shibuya Station, he doesn't hesitate.

Long story short, he and the gang find out later that their spirits have been corrupted by the new big bad. Sort of like the popular Swap AUs I see floating around, however, this time they've got Tommy leading the charge (and a double agent who might be used to a certain darkness and might have had an aversion to it).

[Giacomo's music and the Team Star tracks being confirmed as composed by Teruo Taniguchi (谷口輝雄) makes me very happy to know. XD

It also explains why Team Star is featured as the art on one of the soundtrack CDs, since they basically got one guy to do all the Team Star stuff specifically. =) I was surprised they put Giacomo and crew on a CD instead of say... Rika... but it makes sense

He even looks a little like Giacomo in a way, I wouldn't be surprised if Giacomo's design was based on him in some form. =)

Anyway, this made me happy, so I thought I'd share the smiles!]
