Going thoroughly insane over how on completely different ends Sora's and Koushirou's roles and relationships with their mothers (and in extension their parents in general) are portrayed in Adventure. And once again, it was ALL based on miscommunication:

Sora is perceived as the tradition-defying "tomboy" who is "loud" and plays football; Koushirou is perceived as the "good boy" who is always "polite and correct" and never acts spoilt or out of line. The key word here is "perceived", because we see both of them display traits in front of their peers that go beyond the "role" their parents witness (and that both of them are willingly or subconsciously displaying in front of them); Sora is actually the caring mom/big sister friend who literally and figuratively takes everyone under their wing, Koushirou is opinionated, forward and outspoken when things are dire and at stake.

Sora's mother wants her to act more like "the daughter of an ie-moto", more feminine, less out of line - at least, that is the message that reaches Sora, since her mother asks her to quit her beloved football. Her polite and aloof attitude appears to be rather cold and dismissive to Sora, which is basically what makes her rebel against the whole flower arrangement business. She feels unloved and misunderstood, as if she cannot be appreciated if she isn't "perfect" in her mother's eyes. Thus she is unable to understand that her mother may just worry about her hurting her injured leg even more. Furthermore, Sora has a very poor grasp on the fact that she herself is acting towards her friends and partner in the exact same way, albeit in a more gentle way most of the time.

Koushirou's mother wants him to be more selfish, to tell her what he dislikes and what bothers him, to stop being perfect at all times - but that is exactly what he physically cannot do, as he himself is doubting his whereabouts and simply tries to just shove all doubts and worries aside. Instead of acting "normal", he is hiding behind that barrier and mask of perfection towards his parents - and has to realize that this attitude is worrying them even more.

In the end, it all gets (mostly) resolved through them realizing that they're still loved regardless of what happened; they don't necessarily HAVE TO change, but it is up to them whether they want to or not. Meaning, their respective arcs of self-discovery have not ended yet, but the foundation for better relationships has been established here. Sora will start playing tennis (a.k.a changing her hobby) in an attempt to move towards her mother more, choosing to do so for her own sake. Koushirou will try to act more open and casual towards his parents, even though he is actively being reassured that his hobby (being into computers) is exactly what he is all about and that he doesn't have to change that.

Digimon Adventure ~ Episode 31 (J.P.N Ver.) ~ Character Traits & Character Development ~ Important Dialogue + as Adopted representation (Izumi Family)

Bonus:

{Koushiro and “Thank You”} (Koushiro, in the J.P.N. version, is known for using overly-“polite” speech in most of Koushiro’s wider canon. [at the very least, up until the beginnings of the 02 Epilogue timeframe]; (However, we see hints of that changing a little throughout the {+early} series too) {i.e. “Arigato[u] gozaimas[u]” (Formal) vs. slightly more informal {to Izumis, as they’re Koushiro’s family} “Arigato[u]”, which he slowly begins to start using more often by late 02′s World Tour arc} This is right after Koushiro’s returned home the first time, so the Izumis are bemused by Koushiro saying “Thank You” so openly)

{“Even if {Koushiro} is [hiding something], We can’t blame {Koushiro}. We’re [hiding something]* from {Koushiro}, TOO.”}

* = Koushiro’s Adoption backstory, which Koushiro continues to show clear awareness of Izumi Parents knowing & keeping the secret from Koushiro, including throughout this entire episode. (After Koushiro just got back from being stuck in the Digital World for over two months in Digital World time, maybe NOT counting the time Koushiro spent trapped and isolated in Vademon’s ‘pocket’ dimension...)

Smth smth Kaeya being an immense workaholic both bc he feels he owes it to Mond and Jean as a whole for playing a part in why Diluc abandoned the knights, but also bc several of the senior knights had initially brushed off his ability to effectively take over the cavalry captain position, considering he was always known as his illustrious predecessor’s little shadow, and as a result instilled in him the need to be at the very top of his game to show them he could be relied on, and so he’s now wound up saddled with being Calvary captain, Quartermaster, guard captain, trainee overseer, and Klee’s official-unofficial sitter-

[hauntinghyrule]

Went on the Flight Rising auction house to see if I could snag any interesting dragons born today because Four Swords birthday.

Hm... this one might have potential? With the right genes, he can have all five of the FS colors, which is nifty (but also, kind of unsurprisingly, a pretty chaotic color scheme xD )

I'll have to think about it more later, I'm up too late as it is ^^;;

Koushiro Week 2022 - Day 1: Tentomon

Days: [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] Title: Longing Characters: Koushiro Izumi, Kae Izumi, Tentomon, Mimi Tachikawa and Megumi Izumi (OC), with short appearences of Agumon, Gabumon and Piyomon. Summary: Five moments between Koushiro and Tentomon throughout the years. Note: The scene were Koushiro manages to bring Gabumon, Piyomon and Agumon back has sequels on Oretachi (last scene, written for Yamato's week) and You And Me (also last scene, written for Sora's week). In case you want to read them: Part 2 | Part 3

Everything seemed so... empty. I didn’t think it was possible to feel such thing until I went through it. I knew my adventures with the other seven children would be over eventually, but all I wanted was to be able to go back to the Digital World and see Tentomon again. “Koushiro?” My mother knocked on my door gently. “Are you awake?” “Yes, mom.” I replied, still lying down on my bed. “Come in.” “How are you feeling, sweetie?” She spoke softly as she walked inside my bedroom. “I miss Tentomon and the Digital World.” I admitted, looking at her and giving her a small smile. “But I’ll be fine, I promise.” “I wish there was a way to make things less painful for you.” She sat on my bed. “I’m very sorry you had to say goodbye to each other. I know how much he means to you.” “I keep expecting him to come flying from the window, but I know he won’t.” “Aww, darling.” My mother sat closer to me and put her arms around me. “Wherever he is, I know he’s thinking of you. I’m sure it’s just a matter of time before you are reunited again.” “You think so?” “Of course. Such a good friendship can’t get lost like this. Everyone could see the strong connection you two had. That’s very rare and should be cherished.” “So you don’t think it’s strange to be friends with a virtual animal?” “Not at all.” She looked at me. “He’s not just a virtual animal to you. He’s a very dear friend and I’m very glad you found him.” “Mom.” I said in a tearful tone. “This means a lot coming from you.” “I have to admit I miss him too. I never got the chance to thank him for taking care of you and everything he did to you.” “Everything he did to me?” “You may not have noticed, but you’re a different boy now. It’s a positive change and it makes me very happy.” “Mom!” I threw myself into her arms and hugged her. “I’m so sorry for disappearing without telling you.” “Disappearing? I don’t remember that.” She said in a light tone. “There’s nothing to apologize for, sweetheart. You saved the world. I should be the one thanking you. In fact, I know just exactly what we should do.” “What?” “Me and your father are taking you out for dinner.” “Mom, really, you don’t have to. I don’t want you to waste money on me.” “It’s not a waste of money, Koushiro. We’re going to celebrate and also spend some time together. And if you want, you can go to the arcade.” “Thank you, mom.” “No need to thank me.” She gave me a smile. “I love you so much, sweetie.” “I love you too.” “Dinner is ready.” She stood up and looked at me. “You don’t have to eat right now if you don’t want it. I’ll put it on the oven when we finish.” “That’s okay.” I jumped out of my bed and walked to her, reaching out for her hand. “I’m starving, actually.” “I’m relieved to hear that. I was thinking you weren’t eating that much and was worried about it. I bet Tentomon would be too, if he was here.” “He most certainly would. He would keep insisting I should eat more.” I stated and then laughed.

@izumikoushiroweek: Day 1 - Koushirou interacting with his parents / It’s (not) lonely at the top

Don't we all love to see more of the Izumi family? I certainly do and I am 100% convinced that this would end up being their preferred method of communication while Koushirou is in his early to mid twenties. He is a communicator through and through, he would have made sure to enable all his loved ones with proper devices to stay in touch with them - but he may also neglect his personal needs a little too much. Thus it's important to have his Digimon partner nudge him towards remembering to call his parents every once in a while - even if he may still live with them at that point in time, he would spend most of his days (and nights) in his office, navigating both his company and all kinds of Chosen Children business. He is so prone to losing himself in work that he probably doesn't realize that it can get a little lonely sometimes. He does love his parents after all, he's very likely to also financially support them in return after having been supported by them all these years. So even if he forgets to check in on them every now and then - they won't forget. And so they will make this work. Always.

[ID: A gif from Digimon Adventure Zero Two episode 27 showing Koushirou's mom sitting in the middle of his bedroom, across from the zero two kids as Koushirou sits backwards in a desk chair on the side. His mom glances around the room, and then asks Koushirou a question as a speech bubble with Tentomon in it appears. All the kids flinch in surprise. End ID]

[koushirouizumi]

Mrs. Izumi: I wish that Koushiro would act more spoiled and unreasonable instead of always keeping it inside like Koushiro's a "GOOD child"! I want Koushiro to TELL ME what Koushiro likes AND HATES- mE, BANGING FISTS DOWN: I HOPE KOUSHIRO IS EXTREMELY SELFISH (ON A PERSONAL LEVEL AND YES EVEN WHEN IT COMES TO THE DIGITAL WORLD AND ROLE AS A CHOSEN) AND GETS ANYTHING KOUSHIROs EVER WANTED (WHICH LET'S BE HONEST **ISN'T A LOT** {E N O U G H} AND PROBABLY JUST WANTED FRIENDSHIP AND LOVE+SUPPORT FROM PARENTS THE MOST) FOR THE REST OF KOUSHIROs ENTIRE LIFETIME!!!!!
