Happy Halloween, Koushiro!

I uploaded a drabble I wrote ages ago to AO3, but crucially, with a drawing of Koushiro's Halloween costume. LOOK AT THE HANDSOME LAD. It's under 700 words and features Koushiro, Mimi, and Taichi.

I try to write something really heartfelt for Koushiro week, but I just had so much going on this year. If you're looking for something like that, please check out Ladybug House or Sans San!

Happy Koushiro week, and happy Halloween! Love you!

TaiKouvember, Day 5: Hope

Pen meets paper furiously, scribbling down as fast as possible, and yet it’s still not enough to capture the speed of his mind. The sight laid before him was too rich for material; it simply couldn’t be ignored. So he stared; even as his pen veered off the perfectly straight lines, he stared deep into the core of his focus. 

“Uuuh… TK? You okay?” Taichi questions, worry written on his features. He moves from his leaning position, the arm that was once draped across the couch’s top now resting on his arm, his other partially reaching out. Before it can get too far, Koushirou pats Taichi’s thigh to gain his attention. 

“It’s no use. Taichi-san, Takeru-kun simply will not stop writing once something has taken his interest.” With a gentle shake of their head, they sip coffee from a red-and-black polka dot mug, leaning comfortably into the soft material. Taichi, not entirely satisfied, leans back as well, an eye still watching Takeru. 

“Still, does he need to stare so... intently?” 

“Of course! This is the best material I’ve seen in a while!” Takeru suddenly exclaims, jumping up. 

“I suspected it for a while, but this? Living together? This seals it!” 

“Suspected ‘it’? What do you mean by that? And what does being roommates have to do with anything??? Kou, what does he mean?!" 

"In due time, Taichi-san, in due time," Koushirou says cooly, enjoying the warm drink as Takeru tightly seals his mouth, nearly exploding from laughter. 

Taichi Yagami decided that was not a great start to the day. He wasn’t the smartest; that was Koushirou, but more than not understanding something, he felt like he was left out of some kind of joke. Takeru stuck around for a bit longer but soon left as Patamon reminded him that a class was starting soon. After this, Taichi was left alone with Koushirou in their shared apartment, and he didn’t understand how that was involved. 

The day, otherwise, carried on as normal. Koushirou worked from home, occasionally poking out to grab a bite to eat or socialize with Taichi. Said retired gogglehead was studying in between sessions of scratching Tentomon’s shell. Who knew a carapace could be so sensitive? Soon enough, however, Koushirou walks out of his office and leans into Taichi, who had finished studying an hour ago. 

“Tough problem again?” Taichi questions, beginning to softly scratch and massage the spiky scalp laid before him, fingers untangling buried knots and tense muscles as Koushirou cannot help but lean closer. 

“Yeah, we’ve tried to use a new corpus of data to finetune our transformer model without as much inference time, but we still have yet to break past the Chinchilla scaling law,” Koushirou says casually, leaning more into their roommate’s touch. Taichi, for his part, cannot parse anything other than chinchillas riding massive robot cars. 

“You’ll get there, Kou; you always do. You’re a true genius, someone who can break past any barrier they set their mind to.” He says warmly, continuing to massage the scalp of his roommate, who has now turned away.

“That’s not true, and you know it, Taichi-san,” Koushirou says flatly, gently breaking off from the touch. Taichi, unsure but respectful of the newfound distance, turns to Tentomon for guidance. 

“Koushirou-han, you simply cannot blame yourself for that.” The large insect says, a robot-like arm moving up to pet his partner, a loving spark hidden behind the green compound eyes. 

Koushirou loosens their shoulders slightly, nodding as they return to leaning on Taichi. In response, Taichi naturally begins to massage their scalp, giving soft soothing words over their best friend's capabilities, remaining like this until a timer begins to go off. 

“You made dinner?” Koushirou questions, beginning to slowly stand up and stretch firmly, flexing their arms out. Taichi happily observes their best friend’s form, smiling as he confirms he at least threw something quick together. 

They walk over to their kitchen, and Taichi insists that Koushirou, as “the breadwinner," should sit down and be catered to by Taichi. Koushirou disagrees vehemently, arguing that Taichi’s studying is just as valuable as work, only finally agreeing to be served when the pair decide Koushirou will handle dinner tomorrow. 

It was indeed a simple but filling dinner, consisting of a salmon fillet for each, a large bowl of rice, and miso soup with tofu. They sit down, pray over their meal, and proceed to eat. Koushirou slowly begins to eat, eating bits of each and letting their flavors meld together. Taichi, however, quickly begins to devour his rice and miso soup, saving his salmon for last. Tentomon first focuses on the soup, enjoying the warm savory flood of miso before playing with his food, making small rice balls with salmon centers, and constructing a pyramid before continuing to eat. The pair of DigiDestineds look at the Digimon with joy, catching the eye of the other and smiling ear to ear. 

Soon, they’re all stuffed and go to recline on the couch, mimicking their position this morning except even closer, Tentomon resting peacefully in a fluffy bed made out of his favorite pillows. The similarities to this morning spark that aching question and feeling of being left out again, and deciding now was as good a time as any... 

“Hey, Kou, what did Takeru mean earlier?” Taichi questions, slightly worrying his lip as he looks over to his redheaded roommate, uncertainty written across his features despite his best efforts. 

“You mean you still haven’t understood how people see us? Taichi-san, we live together. We’re seldom apart. I can’t even think of a time in the last year I didn’t at least talk to you in a day. Whenever we talk to friends, the other always comes up without fail. Don’t you consider that out of the ordinary?” Koushirou turns to face Taichi, their eyes catching, mesmerizing their roommate. Fuck, were they always this deep?

“I, uh, thought that’s what best friends do?” Taichi responds somewhat dumbly, shifting his own body to face Koushirou as well. 

“‘Would best friends do this?’ Koushirou says, their hand reaching out to hold Taichi’s head before eclipsing their burning lips with their own. And while I don’t have all the details for this part yet, I bet the gist of it is you both end up in the bedroom, and you are SORE, Koushirou-san. Like Taichi just DECIMATED your tight-“ 

"Please spare us the details. Takeru-kun, for everyone’s sake. Please.” Koushirou pleads, pouring themselves another glass of coffee as Taichi, a flaming mess of nerves, just sputters and leans forward. A complete wreck. 

“Great, and now you broke my boyfriend; they don’t come cheap, you know.” The redhead says cooly, unphased by Takeru’s antics as they rub Taichi’s back. 

“Not in shock over this?” Takeru asks, leaning back into his chair and taking in the floundering composure of their dear gogglehead. 

“Takeru, I once saw you regale an entire group of Chosen with a legend from the Digital World you made up on the spot; your fanfiction regarding how me and Taichi got into our relationship is not surprising in the least. Now please, it’s 6 AM; me and Taichi were in the middle of sex, and I would prefer to get back to it and get to bed before Taichi is nothing but a melted mess.” In response, Takeru busts a gut and heads out while Taichi just implodes mentally at the brazen admission of his partner. Within moments, however, Taichi has more than enough motivation to return to bed, and they both have a fantastic day afterward. And Takeru had plenty of new writing material.  @taikouvember

Digimon: Sins of a Cyber Empire

I started writing a Digimon fanfic! It centers around original characters and their Digimon partners. Currently only one chapter, but with more on the way.

Give it a read!

[jewlsreigngallery]

Hey all! Hope everyone is doing well! I have been in a massive art block but that is probably due to me being on vacation and my brain wanting to relax. I have discovered an art style I enjoy and am trying to keep and develop it.

Since I'm in an art block I decided to draw Mario again. Usually I like to go back to my roots when I am in an art block. Surprisingly this turned out pretty well. One thing I focused on here was color.

My process was to pick my own colors first as accurately as I could then use the eye drop tool in procreate to see how close I got. His clothes were pretty damn close but skin, hair and eyes are tricky for me. I hope you all like it!

Digifes 2023: Translation of Fireworks: All out battle for tickets!

So I got my hands on the scripts for the day and night performances of Digifes 2023. I love 02, so I decided to translate them to read the stage dramas. I finished the day performance one and decided to share it here in case anyone would like to read it:

Note that I am relatively new to Japanese translations so there could still be errors. But it seems to read well enough. This one focuses mostly on Daisuke, Miyako, and Takeru (Davis, Yolei, and T. K. to those most familiar with the dub), but the others make appearances as well. I hope it is useful to those that can't find a translated version elsewhere!

[izzyizumi]

DAISUKE: Hikari-chan, I haven't forgotten about what happened to Taichi-san and Yamato-san. I want them to see Agumon and Gabumon again. I'll make sure that happens. mE, LYING ON THE FLOOR SOBBING AT THIS 02 LIVE DRAMA READING THAT IS OTHERWISE A BUNCH OF CRACKINESS: aaaaAAAAAAA

[revolver115]

HAPPY ODAIBA DAY! I just published a new chapter of my digimon fanfic, Infinite Possibilities! Read it on AO3 or FFN!

In today's chapter, Koushiro gives Eimi background info on the relationship between the Chosen and the Bureau, and we see the lingering damage from the events of Tri. I was so interested in thinking up what happened to the 02 kids afterward, I hope I can expand those ideas into a full fic someday.

I'm so excited, because things really start to pick up next chapter, when Hikari and Miyako tell the villages of baby digimon what happened to their missing friends.

Fic Summary:

As more people meet their digimon partners, the challenges of digimon and humans coexisting on earth cannot be ignored. College student Anami Eimi begins her career in digimon research, hoping to help digimon and humans understand one another. When she discovers caged digimon in her new lab, she contacts the Japanese Chosen, setting off a chain of events that force the Chosen and their digimon to reevaluate the dynamics of their partnership.

This fic is set pre and post Kizuna, and is a mostly canon compliant expansion. It's a three phase story, the first starring OC Anami Eimi, then Izumi Koushiro, then Yagami Hikari. It explores the realities, challenges, and politics of digimon living on earth, and the nature of the Chosen/digimon partnership.

Can the Chosen and their digimon find the infinite possibilities that will sustain their partnerships into adulthood?

There are mentions of couples in this fic, but it's action/world expansion/plot driven, not a romance.

AceKnightmon

Nível Adulto/ Seijukuki/ Champion

Atributo Livre

Tipo Cavaleiro

Campo Soldados do Pesadelo (NS)/ Império do Metal (ME)

Significado do Nome Ace, Às em inglês, relativo a carta de baralho e Knight, Cavaleiro em inglês.

Descrição

Criado para ser um soldado de linha de frente, AceKnightmon é um Digimon Protótipo desenvolvido pela Unidade de Sistema Inteligente para Pesquisa Autônoma, A.R.I.S.U. cujo a função principal é proteger a estação de pesquisa de sua entidade mãe.

Tendo sua origem através dos dados primordiais de Alarmmon combinados com informações de guardas reais e técnicas de batalha de cavaleiros medievais, AceKnightmon possui em sua testa o que é chamado de Interface de Núcleo Digital, um recurso tido como algo obsoleto e capaz de gerar problemas na programação dos Digimon que o possuem, mas que no entanto, tal recurso da ao Digimon a habilidade de reconfigurar os dados em seu núcleo criando possibilidades ilimitadas, e no pior dos cenários tal interface pode acabar por se desligar como método de segurança.

Por ter uma personalidade completamente fria e ser totalmente comprometido com as ordens que recebe, suas ações podem se tornar violentas de uma hora pra outra sem aviso prévio, já que não importando como, ele obedecerá as ordens que lhe foram dadas executando-as de qualquer maneira, para isso, conta principalmente com a sua lança Royal Flush, poderosa o bastante para perfurar qualquer superfície e causar grandes danos, além de sua capa, cujo a resistência e peso a tornam um escudo primoroso, fazendo de AceKnightmon um adversário bastante difícil de lidar.

Técnicas

Royal Flush Golpeia com sua lança perfurando o adversário, ou dispara uma rajada de energia de cor Vermelha e Azul;

Quadra Real (Four-Of-A-Kind) Convoca naipes de baralho feitos de energia e dispara contra o adversário;

Saque Final (Last Draw) Com um movimento veloz de sua capa, dispara cartas de baralho afiadas como lâminas;

Chamado Real (Royal Call) Inverte sua lança Royal Flush tornando-a uma grande trombeta, criando uma poderosa onda sonora capaz de desligar os sentidos motores do adversário por um período considerável de tempo, sendo também usado para alertar seus aliados da chegada de inimigos ou como primeiro e único aviso para seus inimigos se afastarem.

TaiKouvember 2024, Day 2: Love

The air was crisp on the cool Autumn morning, Sora easily snuggling into her jacket as she watches the leaves fall against the wind. With a sigh, she looks out towards couples, happy for others but not quite for herself. She never felt like she truly belonged with anyone. She’d tried dating, of course, but it never really felt right. Too much doubt. 

“I’m going into high school next year, and I can’t even understand my own heart.” She shakes her head, soon noticing a dorky duo she knows all too well. With a jump she’s on her feet, melancholic feelings lost to the wind as she flags down the wild-haired hooligan and their brilliant buddy. 

“Sora-san! Hey!” 

“Hiya Sora! You been good?”

With a light sparkle in her eye and a wide smile, she nods as she returns to her seat, now sandwiched between the two boys. Content with her response, they begin to chat absently about the state of their favorite football team, FC Tokyo, and how well they’re doing in the Japanese league. 

Sora, for her part, idly listens until Koushirou says, “Actually, Tokyo Verde is doing rather well this season; we may have a rather poor matchup during the Tokyo Derby.” 

“Oh please! We’re gonna stomp, and you know it, Koushirou!” Sora exclaims, turning to face her friend as her face flushes due to her sudden excitement. In response, Koushirou freezes up as Taichi begins to laugh, soon leading his redheads to do the same. 

“My apologies, Sora-san; I forgot how heated you can get.” Koushirou smiles fondly at her, comfort written all over his face. His eyes meet hers, and she sees just how deep his unspoken appreciation of her goes. Sora can’t help but feel her heart skip a beat before looking over at Taichi, hoping to be grounded by his presence.

"Yeah, don’t be mad, Sor; he didn’t mean anything by it. We both know how much you love FC Tokyo, but hopefully you love us even more? At least enough to forgive us?” He pleads, flashing a signature toothy grin, blinding her and forcing her to look away. 

With her face even more flushed than before, she jumps back up, missing their body heat immediately as she begins to walk off. She hears them follow after her, their stares boring holes into her back as she continues. She will NOT turn around. Not like this, not ever. 

“Sora, don’t be mad! Hey, listen, how about we take you to the Tokyo Derby and you can show off just how hard FC Tokyo will smash? It’ll be a landslide, especially with their biggest fan there!” Taichi pleads, having finally caught up to her, now just mere inches from her. 

“Yes, statistics cannot account for the power of parasocial relationships.” Koushirou smiles, joking softly in the way only he can, mirroring Taichi but to her left, neither of them able to see her face. 

Now flanked on both sides by her boys, the two of them pleading for her good graces, she can’t help but start to silently cry. She turns around and nods, wiping away a tear as she gives a wide smile, her wet eyes sparkling like gemstones. 

“Fine, but the two of you are buying the snacks.” 

If there was one thing she could never doubt, it was these two.

DAIKERU FANFIC YIPPEE HELLO DIGIMON NATION

The sound of dplashing echoed through the almost empty field as two pebbles dashed across the strawberry pink river water. Highlighted by the yellows, pinks and oranges of the evening sky it glimmered under the sun like a rare beauty only available to them. Two figures sat side by side in the short grass, one ocean-eyed and the other with dark curls.

“T.R, that throw sucked.” Davis snorted, “Let the master show you how it’s done!”

“Yeah, okay Davis.”

T.K rolled his eyes, a subconscious grin settling over his features. He was way in over his head, that’s for sure. That throw was perfect! It reached almost all the way across the river.

“If I land this, I get to take Kari out!” He playfully jabbed. T.K quirked his brow, “Why are we dragging Kari into this?”

“Here it goes! You watching? T.H??”

“Just do it already!”

With a few stirs of his arm he finally flung the pebble down the river.. and it diverged to the side, only hitting the shore further down the riverbank. It only grazed the water. The look of confidence and excitement on Davis’s face quickly faded, soon replaced by one of disappointment. He slumped his shoulders, gaze never leaving the depressing pebble.

“I think you missed the river, Davis-“ Unable to hold in his laughter any longer he began wheezing, setting his hand on the poor boy’s back and patting it a few times. “Shut up T.R! It was a misthrow!”

“Whatever you say! Does this mean I get to take out Kari though?”

“Like hell it does!”

Upon hearing T.K’s radical idea he swerved around, grabbing him by the color and holding him up so they were eye to eye. He wanted to be angry.. but seeing those puppy dog-like eyes widen he couldn’t help but laugh. His laughter spread, both boys bursting out into fits of giggles and wheezes.

T.K squirmed a little in his grip, managing to accidentally kick him in the shin. Following this they both hit the floor, fall only padded by the grass.

“Ouchhh! Why would you do that?”

“You were the one holding me up!”

“T-JERK!”

“What?- Pff- Hahaha!”

“What? Something funny?”

“You’re so goofy!”

“Hey! You better take that back!”

After way too long trying to figure out how to make my recordings sound passable (and learning how to turn those into a video—how I miss the simplicity of Windows Movie Maker circa 2010 or so...), the first audio reading is here!

For my first video, I've done the first chapter of my own fic, Sins of a Cyber Empire! I've got more of these coming, and also readings of other fics to look forward to.

Please give it a listen, and gimme some of that sweet sweet interaction so my brain feels good and Youtube sees that folks like it!
