#vote starstruck! she’s adorable!

[poppybros-jr]

This is probably the last time I get to do this, huh?

SURPRISE PROPAGANDA ATTACK!

My target today is Starstruck Dee! She’s a perfectly normal Waddle Dee! I’m a perfectly normal noddy, so of course I’m going to support her!

- I love her giant bow! It looks so good on her! Head accessories are the best accessories when you’re small and round like us.

- Speaking of which, she’s small, just like me! Smaller than me, even! Us short people have to stick together. We’re not too short, the world is too tall!

- She’s so sparkly! Her skin is all glittery and she has those cool star things on her cheeks! Sparkles are the best, in my opinion. That’s why one of the first things I learned to do with my magic was make sparkles! Like this!

- She’s friends with Noir! I’ve seen her riding around in his scarf. Of course I’m going to support someone who’s friends with one of my friends!

Vote for Starstruck!

IN WHICH ✶ — Rumors about Y/n pursuing a Zerobaseone member backstage at music bank start floating around the media after she and ZB1 member, Kim Gyuvin are seen talking behind in one of the episodes of ‘Eunchaes Star Diary’. Some netizens believe it and some don’t, some hated her for touching his shoulder and some didn’t care. Y/n went live to debunk the rumors, saying she wasn’t interested in a relationship at the time. The thing was, the rumors were true. She secretly was pursing Kim Gyuvin, or at least she wanted to. Ever since she first saw him backstage at M Countdown when ‘Love Killa�� team got to perform she was starstruck. She saw him at the vending machine and wished him luck in ‘Boys Planet’. She actually never had watched an episode of the survival show at all, she said it would be too painful for her, but that was the night she started to watch and most importantly, vote for Kim Gyuvin.

definitely a home town love interest is so cute for bee. like somebody finds them kissing, definitely while on family vacation. like they’ve always had a crush on each other and bee is always excited to get home for the summer to see him.

probably get caught by a little sibling who tells on them

i feel like it'd be adorable! like the li wouldn't be starstruck when he sees sid bcz he's known him his entire life so bee finds some comfort in that, he's not using her. they would've had a crush on either forever, and it gets to the point where everyone's like "kiss already!" they'd go on secret dates and spend time together, and bee literally gets so happy whenever she sees him.

it'd be his younger sibling who catches them and then nonchalantly just brings it up one day. sid chokes on his food and goes "what?!" while nate's grinning bcz he already knew and everyone else is like "finally!"

vote here!

A post with the moments Taichi and Sora were soft for/to/with each other in DA:2020 + Agumon and Piyomon being their mirrors

DIGIMON ADVENTURE:2020 SPOILERS!!!!

Hi and welcome to my 'Vote Taiora soulmates 2k21' series. This post is basically part 3 of that. I'm a mess, I know...

Part 1: Taiora being starstruck babies | Part 2: The platonic!Taiora connection in Kizuna

PERSONAL NOTE: Once again me here saying that yes this is Taiora and no that doesn't mean I'm trying to sell romantic!Taiora like it's some kind of truth. I just highly believe they are soulmates and soulmates don't have to be romantic AT ALL. Even better, your soulmate can be your platonic best friend while you're in a romantic relationship with someone completely else. Just saying.

And yes, I am a Taiora shipper and I do see and adore the romantic potential of these two. But that doesn't mean everyone has to see it. Platonic!Taiora is beautiful and precious and that's something I vouch for!

There has been floating so much negativity on the internet regarding the Digimon Adventure reboot and even though I'm not loving it either, there are some things I enjoy. I already once pointed out I really like the soundtrack, hell, I even made this little choreography on the theme song for @digiweek 2021 day 3 (prompt music). But that aside, in this post I want to spread some love for the Taiora portrayal in the series, because let's face it, they are super soft (and pretty much ride or die) for each other!

I could ramble and talk about things... OR I could just bomb you guys with the screencaps I gathered! I mean, those reboot 2020 kids don't talk and bicker as much as their original 1999 counterparts do, so why should I?

And you know what 2020!Taichi and 2020!Sora are really good at? Having the same (s o f t) facial expressions to each other, radiating the same energy, touching and physically supporting each other because they are soulmates~. See it for yourself :D

It starts with Taichi looking at his bestie Sora to check if she's safe on the DIY raft while listening to the sweet conversation about fighting together she just had with her newfound Digimon partner in episode 4.

Look at that proud bestie grin. Such a cutie.

Then fast forward to how they are supportingly touchy together..! Two times, in episode 32 and 36. I mean, what's up with that??! Go hug each other already like true childhood bffs do nowadays.

I sense proud mom and dad vibes, what about you? (Also note Piyomon and Agumon in the left one, such cuties <3)

Next up, in episode 37, is Sora being SUPER ride or die for Taichi literally jumping into the water true superhero style to safe the day.! And safe Taichi and Agumon from their stupidity (which is like super low key stupidity compared to OG!Taichi)

This is my personal favorite, episode 40, Sora talking all fast and excited about the passion they share, football/soccer (<- this depends on where you live, I prefer to say football because you play that ball with your damn foot!!!), and how she just LOVES playing it with HIM.

And Taichi is all like "Hell yeah girl, of course I can tell! Preach"

Then in the same episode we find these two pearls (among many other pearls, just go watch that episode yourself already)! Sora looking all soft and concerningly happy to have found her berry-fied bestie. And Sora being glinstering-eyes-happy (like, is she crying??) to see that said bestie back to his human self again!

Okay. There is episode 50, the one with the music I liked and where Taichi resurrects/just resurrected for the big fight and the kiddos trapped in the black ball in the mouth of Milleniummon all scream his name for Taichi to resurrect ONCE AGAIN talking about suffering from portagonist-trope-disease huh?. There are three people Taichi hears screaming his name seperated from the rest and it's rival lover Yamato, baby sis Hikari and CHILDHOOD BESTIE SORA. And let me tell you, when I'd heard her screaming his name in the agonizing way she did, yes, I would have resurrected too if I were Taichi.

Then we of course have that whole Hououmon 'safety first' episode 52. See me ranting and screaming about it in my 'part 1' of this series.

And THEN it's time for the most recent episode, episode 62, where Taichi and Sora reunite and Sora gives Taichi THIS SOFT FACE after she says "The Chosen Ones aren't just here to fight, you know?"

Sora, my baby!!! You can drag me away now, I'm done with this big ride or die softie <333

And you know what's the best part? After the fight with Shakkoumon, which isn't really a fight with Sora following her own words and instead of fighting the Mon talking herself into the heart of the Mon, Taichi REPEATS Sora's words by saying "The role of the Chosen Ones isn't just to fight, huh..." followed by Taichi giving Sora HIS SOFT FACE!!

I'mma repeat myself, but find yourself a guy that looks at you the way Taichi looks at Sora. SO SOFT. OH MY GOD, TAICHI MARRY ME PLEASE. (No please don't, that's weird x'D) I swear, they even tilt their head in the same freaking angle!! This could be cheap animation suffering from 'same face syndrom', but I like to believe that Taichi has watched her, seen the expression she gave him and literally M I R R O R E D I T. This was the whole episode for me, best thing ever.

Also, in that same episode we see THIS:

Even their digimon partners are super ride or die for each other..!! If I had to ship digimon with each other, it would definitely be Agumon and Piyomon (and Gomamon, I'll get to that in a bit). And yes, I know it's a big stretch to let Garudamon, a perfect level digimon, intercept the freaking attack from Wargreymon, an ultimate level digimon, that destroyed Milleniummon 12 episodes ago... It's a bit unbelievable, BUT a) Garudmon is a freaking badass, b) THAT'S WHAT BESTIES DO! And the fact Sora is pretty much ride or die for Taichi, means Piyomon/Garudamon is pretty much ride or die for Agumon/Wargreymon too, no matter the evolution level.

Also, let me point out this little scene under water in episode 35 where Piyomon teases Agumon. Really, I think that's so cute and vouches for the friendship they mirror from the friendship their human partners have!

Actually, isn't it funny that the humans in the reboot hardly tease each other and bicker compared to the original cast and it's the digimon who took over the teasing?

Last but not least, there's one picture left, the end of episode 43. Piyomon and Agumon asleep leaning into each other for support (and Gomamon being cute joining this weird-ass digimon-OT3 I just love!) while on the very right of the frame we see Taichi and Sora laughing/talking together in a super cute way, probably talking about their profound friendship and how they will be football buddies and besties for life :') Also important: they are the only humans in this scene (and then I'm talking about the others not present in this frame too) that are 'seperated' from and not focusing on their digimon, instead they are focusing on each other.

So there you have it. Okay, there might be more moments, but hey, I only get 10 pics per post. If you still don't believe in these two being soulmates in some kind of way... I have no idea how to convince you otherwise.

Worth It

Here’s another @eah-exchange gift, this time for @roybelmirrorcast! I do hope you like this gift, and I apologize for the delay. Pinch-hitting can take some energy out of you, haha.

Summary: Duchess could be cold, yes. As cold as the pond beneath them; as cold as the death that awaited her. But she wasn’t ruthless, least of all to her best friend. [Duchess-centric & Faybelle/Nina]

Read on AO3 HERE

“If you want to impress Nina, you’re doing it wrong,” Duchess said as she adjusted the straps of her figure skates. She was seated on the outskirts of her favorite pond, watching her friend make an absolute fool of herself. Her figure skates were too bulky, her stance too wide – and her double axels were positively atrocious. Could she even pull off a triple? No respectable judge would give her above a five, and even that was generous.

“Ugh, what was I thinking – asking you to watch my program?” Faybelle groaned, a frustrated sigh escaping her lips, breath visible and singed an electric blue. Duchess almost smirked, but quelled the urge and opted to hoist herself off the bench and onto the pond. While she adored Faybelle, being best friends with the tumultuous fairy could have some nasty disadvantages. Being cursed was always a potential consequence. Fortunately however, Faybelle never resorted to that option.

And, well, Duchess was already cursed. Faybelle was wicked, yes. But she didn’t have the heart to be that cruel, least of all to her best friend.

“You asked because you want to impress a cute girl,” Duchess replied, circling her friend with ease. Truthfully, it had been awhile since Duchess had taken to the ice. She much preferred her ballet shoes and large, mirrored rooms to the obscene layers of clothing piled atop her legs and arms to offset the blistering chill of a winter afternoon. And last winter had proven particularly disastrous. She’d almost died. But Faybelle had asked for pointers for her upcoming performance at this year’s winter showcase, and Duchess was always in the mood for telling people what to do. “And because – for some reason – you decided you wanted to combine a triple axel with a double toe, a combination that requires some serious dedication on top of skill.”

“Hey! I have skill,” Faybelle’s nose flared, her gloved hands curled into fists. While she was all dolled up in a creamy white sweater and a glittering silver scarf, the dark blue clouds pouring out of her fists clashed with the snowy ensemble. Duchess wanted to roll her eyes, but decided that she had to be patient, despite how much she wanted to slap Faybelle against the shoulder and demand she skate until her legs gave out or she drilled a hole into the ice beneath their feet.

Faybelle was experiencing something new, something exciting – she had a crush on an exceptionally cute, exceptionally bright and cheerful girl. Not exactly someone Duchess expected her best friend to be interested in, but at least Nina was tasteful, with her earthy fashion, endearing smiles, and playful nature. Unlike all the other princesses Duchess had to spend time with, Nina didn’t rub her destiny or its blissfully happy ending in anyone’s face. Perhaps it had to do with all the heartache she would suffer throughout her story. There would be no prince to guide her, no friends to rely on. Of course, she would escape it all and fall in love, receive the wings she would have so earnestly earned by then. But she had a happy ending, something many at Ever After High continued to dream of.

Something Duchess dreamed about; no happy ending would befall upon her. Only a doomed romance and death atop a lake, tragic and beautiful and frightening, were hers to claim.

Lost in her sudden forlorn thoughts, Duchess only half-heard Faybelle going on and on about all the practice she had put into her program and how Duchess had the audacity to critique her so ruthlessly when figure skating wasn’t her forte. Which was true, but it wasn’t like Duchess was some dimwitted novice either. Dance of all form was one of her natural talents, and she had honed them to the point of complete mastery.

“I wouldn’t call what I’ve said ruthless though,” Duchess replied, breaking out of her daze just as Faybelle finished. “I’m just pointing out that it’s going to be hard. And if you wanted someone who was just going to encourage and compliment everything you did, you could have just asked Justine.”

“Yeah, but then you wouldn’t have talked to me for like a week,” Faybelle frowned and crossed her arms. “And I kind of need you in that audience or else I might actually throw up in the middle of the ice rink.”

“You’re definitely right on the first one,” Duchess chuckled, relieved her friend’s wrath had been sated for the most part. Instead of a flared nose and rigid shoulders, Faybelle’s bottom lip quivered, and her fingers trembled despite being encased in thick wool gloves. She was nervous, possibly doubting her abilities to perform well enough to impress not only Nina, but her best friend as well.

But maybe it’s not Nina she’s really worried about, Duchess thought, her chest squirming at the realization. Nina was easy to impress. It was a part of her charm: she was thrilled for her friends and their accomplishments, no matter how trivial they appeared to others. It was almost nauseating, to watch Nina compliment and encourage everyone, even if their contributions to some bake sale or theater production were nominal at best.

Maybe that’s why Faybelle liked her – she was so different than the pair of them, cynical and chiding their peers whenever they made mistakes worthy of their merciless attention. Faybelle and Duchess had reasons, of course – they had no happy endings awaiting them at the end of their stories. But Nina had reasons, too. She had a happy ending, but she would have to endure, have to face ridicule and scorn from all the forest creatures surrounding her. She could cry that it wasn’t fair, that other princesses had it easier. But she never did, and she never would. She was happy with the lot she had been given, despite its shortcomings.

Still, she wouldn’t die. She wasn’t a villain. And both of those were fundamental differences that colored their outlooks on life.

Yet, that was all beside the point. Faybelle hadn’t called her out to be cynical or to chide her technique. She wanted a friend, her best friend to watch her perform before anyone else. Maybe she did want some pointers, to help her flourish on stage and brighten the lights in Nina’s luminescent blue eyes. But that wasn’t why Faybelle had asked her to this pond, a mile out from the school and out of sight from any possible spectators.

Duchess could be cold, yes. As cold as the pond beneath them; as cold as the death that awaited her. But she wasn’t ruthless, least of all to her best friend.

“And you’re not going to throw up on that rink. Trust me,” Duchess reassured. She lifted her hand and squeezed it against Faybelle’s shoulder, a careful smile blossoming onto her face. “You do have skill – I’ve seen what you can do in a pair of skates. And hey, you’re the Dark Fairy’s daughter – if you can’t wow them with your triple axel, you can always whip up a wicked curse and cast it on the audience.”

“You’re forgetting you and Nina are going to be in that audience, dummy,” Faybelle replied. Despite her sardonic tone, she returned Duchess’ smile, and placed her hand on top of hers. “But thanks for the vote of confidence. I needed that. I’m just, you know, a little afraid it won’t be up to your standards.”

“Faybelle, please – no one is up to my standards.”

A beat passed between the pair before they laughed, the heartfelt sound filling the empty space around them and warming the pits of their stomachs. Duchess waited until Faybelle’s laughter subsided to continue, her eyes sparkling in amusement, shoulders relaxed. “But you’re as close as anyone will ever get, so I guess you’ll have to do.”

Faybelle gasped in mock delight, pointing a willowy finger into her cheek, “Wow, Your Highness! I have never been so delighted and honored by someone’s praise. Please, Your Magnificence! Your Grace! Bestow upon me further words of acclamation, so that one day I may prove myself worthy of your high esteem.”

“Okay, okay – stop groveling,” Duchess scoffed and pulled her hand away from Faybelle, rolling her eyes as Faybelle laughed again.

“Can’t help myself,” Faybelle skated away from Duchess, her legs a little stiff. Standing still in the middle of a frozen pond was the most likely candidate, but Duchess couldn’t shake off the possibility that Faybelle remained nervous. “It’s always fun to mess with my bestie!”

“Yeah, yeah, I know,” Duchess sighed, following Faybelle’s lead and skating to the other side of the pond. “Now, are you going to show me what you got? Or am I gonna freeze my tail feathers out here?”

“Ha, ha – good idea actually! Turn into a swan and we can be out here all night. I can cast a heat spell and everything.”

“Then you wouldn’t have a pond to skate on, stu –”

Duchess' insult died in her throat, her eyes taking in the sight of Faybelle tracing circles into the pond beneath her, body focused and stare distant. As if she wasn’t on this pond, shivering cold, with only her haughty best friend for company. Perhaps she was envisioning a stage, white lights hovering above her, a crowd full of starstruck faces, with Nina’s the most vivid of all. She was performing.

And it wasn’t for anyone else but Duchess. Her best friend without a happy ending. A fellow perfectionist that had weeded herself into the fairy’s heart, that gossiped and cackled and smirked whenever the opportunity presented itself.

There was no one else Faybelle wanted to impress more.

Despite her fear of what would come after graduation, of the tragedy that would encapsulate her if she chose to continue her family’s destiny, Duchess smiled at her friend’s gesture. Tears threatened to spill onto her cheeks and blur the performance in front of her. For it was a performance, breathtaking and vivid and real. So what if Faybelle missed a half-rotation or her legs wobbled as she landed a double loop? This was all for her; Nina may eventually steal her friend away, leaving Duchess frightfully and completely alone to face her undeserved fate, but the swan princess would always have this. This sleeted afternoon, her friend's lithe body looping into the air, fairy dust sprinkling off her clothes and falling onto the pond - every part of it would always be hers.

Duchess kept her revelations private; she didn't want to burden Faybelle with her own doubts and fears. The week before the winter showcase, Duchess watched her friend practice every afternoon. She watched as her stance balanced and her landings grew smooth. Faybelle twisted and looped her body as if she was submerged in a pool of water. Every movement was fluid, intended, perfect; it became clear that she was past Duchess' teachings. This performance was completely Faybelle's - neither Duchess nor Justine could have performed it to her ability. Sure, every move would have been pristine, their techniques practiced and flawless. But it wouldn't be Faybelle on that stage; it wouldn't be her body leaping above the ice or her skin shimmering against the soft white lights.

"Oh Duchess, are you performing tonight?"

Duchess blinked and lifted her head from her ballet shoes, her eyes meeting Nina's exuberant stare. She didn't smile, but nodded her head in acknowledgement. It would be rude to snub Faybelle's crush, despite her own insecurities. "Hello, Nina. I am performing, but just with the rest of ballet class. We're the opening act, so I'll be able to relax and enjoy the rest of the show at least."

"That's great! I know you'll do spectacular," Nina replied, her smile broad and exposing glistening white teeth. Nina didn't seem like one for insecurities or secrets, though Duchess was sure something was there. If she was vapidly kind, Faybelle wouldn't have bothered. "I can't wait to see what's in store this year."

"You got anyone you're especially excited to see?" Duchess asked, hoping she could push the conversation in the right direction. There wasn't much of a chance for Duchess to play matchmaker before - not with tests or destined bonds and all that. But the Storybook of Legends was currently irrelevant, and if Faybelle wanted a cute princess as a girlfriend, Duchess would gladly assist.

"Oh, actually..." Nina knelt down and hid her face from the rest of the hallway, mouth close to Duchess' ear. She chewed on her lip, and Duchess caught the scent of sweet pea perfume before Nina continued. "Faybelle invited me to come see her, and...I was hoping for some advice."

"Advice?" Duchess tilted her head back, taking in Nina's anxious stare and rigid posture. "Advice for what?"

"Well, um - do you think this is kind of...a date?" Nina emphasized as she stood back up, folding her hands in front of her waist, eyes locked onto her thumbs. "After the show she wanted to go downtown and have hot cocoa and I - well, I've never been on a date! And I never thought I'd be on a date with a girl, and -"

"Do you like Faybelle?" Duchess interrupted, hoping her clipped words didn't sound as frustrated as she felt. Here was the hard part, something that Duchess had wanted to avoid: not all girls liked other girls. If Nina didn't want to date Faybelle because she was a girl, there wasn't much either of them could do.

But, if she did like girls...

"I...I think I might," Nina replied, voice small but laced with an excitement that hadn't been there before. "She's funny and fun, smart, adventurous - oh, and she's pretty, of course! Especially for a fairy since, you know, all fairies are absolutely gorgeous.

"But, what I wanted to ask you was..." and Nina's voice trailed again, picking at the ends of her daffodil skirt. "Is this a date? You're her best friend, and you would know if she likes me, right? I don't want to assume anything."

Duchess could have laughed. She could have taken Nina by the hand and shoved her into the backstage dressing rooms, smacked her right into Faybelle, and demanded the two to get a room. She could have cried - because here was Faybelle, her villainous best friend, being offered a slice of wonder and heaven Duchess had dreamt of for years: Nina liked Faybelle, and Faybelle liked Nina. Undoubtedly, Faybelle would perform her best tonight, and the want inside Nina's chest would intensify, confirming her affections. They would drink hot chocolate. They might hold hands, might kiss with stars above them and snow beneath their feet.

Here was a happy ending, wrapped in roses and sprinkled with fairy dust. And yet again, it wasn't for Duchess.

But Duchess did not laugh, and she did not cry. Instead, she grinned and stood up, placing her hand atop Nina's shoulder. Faybelle deserved this - she deserved to be happy. "It's not my place to say that she likes you. That needs to come from her. And, fair warning: my best friend is an insufferable drama queen. But, I can say that this invitation wasn't a mistake, and I'm sure she's looking forward to that hot cocoa. Especially because you'll be there to enjoy it with her."

Nina beamed and giggled at Duchess' words, a schoolgirl on the cusp of falling in love. "Thank you, Duchess. That makes me feel better."

Duchess' smile grew wider, and her chest bloomed with vibrant warmth. Seeing Nina smile like that - at the thought of Faybelle reciprocating any of her feelings - was completely, assuredly worth it. "Anytime, Nina."
