#Digimon: project Aurora

[galehowl]

Impmon, as he appears in Aurora~

Described by others as a weird-looking mix of a cat, bat and rodent, he rarely appears in this form after first evolving, and is most known to others as his Adult form, Caedemon. In the dark, he is often mistaken for a kind of ugly-looking cat by people.

His main evolution line is Impmon -> Caedemon -> Varjamon -> Beelzemon/BM. He also has alternate evolutions, much like Tailmon and Dorumon do.

Impmon first found himself in the human world without any memories and knowledge of who he is, and a scarred body he didn't recognize. Like with Tailmon, he eventually gained back his lost memories, though in his case it was triggered by first evolution.

His real identity, however, also brought with it his actual personality - haughty, distant, self-centered, quiet, and observant. Though his usually very calm and serious demeanor hid a much more beastly and terrifying side underneath.

Uncertain of his place in the new reality, haunted by guilt from a time long gone, Caedemon also had no desire to deal with him being bound to a Tamer, refusing to assume the role of a guardian to a human child.

That, unfortunately, initially created a very strained relationship between him and his Tamer, as she also refused to deal with his shitty personality, and the two of them being too preoccupied with their personal issues.

Me, Mimi, and romance

It feels like a small, subjective thing, but something I deeply appreciate about Mimi Tachikawa is how uninterested she is in romance. Mimi’s arc culminates with her being independent and confident. Instead of any endgame romance, Mimi’s character is all about loving yourself.

I wrote a piece about growing up with Mimi and rediscovering her as an adult.

When I was a little girl, I loved Disney Princess movies. I loved them because they were cartoons for kids and girls got to be the protagonists. That part was valuable for me. But in hindsight, those movies were also harmful for me. I really bought into the notion that a girl’s happy ending HAD to be marrying a man.

I rewrote the Disney movies with my mom. I would dictate the stories from memory for her to write down, and then I would illustrate them. Looking back on those stories today, it’s striking how Little-Girl-Me was so good at always focusing on the women’s perspective. For example, my version of Sleeping Beauty showed how Aurora’s mother felt instead of her father. However, even if I sidelined the boy characters more than the original cartoons, I still always ended my stories with, “And then they got married and lived happily ever after.”

Little-Girl-Me loved feminine things, loved pretty things, loved artistic things, and she really loved girls and women. But she knew that marriage had to be endgame for girls and women, even if she wasn’t interested in romance herself.

Digimon Adventure is ostensibly not about romance. Until it is. The Sora x Yamato, Miyako x Ken, and even Taichi x Meiko foreshadowing is built into the show’s structure. And there are things I like about that, and some things I truly love and find romantic. But at the end of the day, this show is embarrassingly heteronormative to me now. The epilogue in particular does not hold up well at all, where everyone seems to have found their happy ending with marriage and ~1.5 biological children. It’s easy to understand why this was the socially acceptable happy ending for the characters, but that doesn’t make it less disappointing.

Still, Mimi Tachikawa manages to float above all that nonsense. It’s true that she doesn’t escape the epilogue, but Mimi’s endgame marriage and child feel particularly ancillary to her character arc. It was never important for Mimi to act like a “parent” like it was for Sora, or Yamato, or even Taichi. Instead, it was always important for Mimi to be loud and independent. And since Mimi wasn’t created to be any of the boys’ love interest, her character arc truly shines on its own. (I don’t mean that the other girls don’t shine, but all of the boys in the “canon couples” receive more development than their girl partners, and the “canon couple” characters all have parallel arcs.)

Above all, what fascinates me about Mimi is that she manages to be an awesome leading lady without having interesting relationships with the two main boys. Mimi is the least close to both Taichi and Yamato, but she remains a star, in spite of the fact that the show largely revolves around Taichi and Yamato.

When I started engaging with the Digimon fandom again three years ago, I was surprised at how popular Mimi x Taichi and Mimi x Yamato were. I understand better now, because I understand fandom shipping better now, but within the canon they remain two of the less developed relationships. And for me, something I LOVE about Mimi in the canon is that she isn’t defined by her relationships to the two main boys in the show. At all.

If Mimi had to choose between following Taichi or Yamato, she would strike out on her own. And I love that about her.

 When I was a little girl, my favorite character was (usually) Mimi. I did love ALL the girls a lot, but I came back to Mimi the most. Now that I’m older, it’s easier for me to relate to Sora. She’s older, more responsible, and she struggles in silence. Sora also has more interesting relationships with Taichi and Yamato, and now that I’m older and I appreciate good writing better, I appreciate the boy characters more and their relationships with her.

But Mimi remains special to me, because I see Little-Girl-Me in Mimi. Someone who was unabashedly feminine and uninterested in romance or boys. She was like a Disney Princess in some ways, but her arc avoided the hetero romance that was inherent in Disney movies. Looking back, I wish that I had more heroines like Mimi, because Mimi still wasn’t enough. I turned out super shy instead of confident like her. And I still thought for a long, long time that I needed to marry a man to get a happy ending.

Not anymore though. Today, my OTP for Mimi remains Mimi x Mimi. (And my interest in her last-minute-designed son and offscreen husband remains at negative 1,000.) Mimi’s character shows how to be confident, feminine, and inspirational to others, without needing boys. (Jyou--the only boy I like shipping with Mimi--even tells her in the Dark Master’s Arc that she doesn’t need him to fulfill her role.) Mimi doesn’t need anyone’s approval. She loves herself.

To state the obvious, this piece is very, very subjective. I expect that your view of Mimi is probably different. It’s easy to project onto Mimi, especially since she’s such an empowering character.

Rediscovering Mimi, falling in love with her again, and learning from her as an adult has been a highlight of coming back to Digimon. I’ll always be grateful to Mimi.

Some Elecmon lol

In Aurora's setting, they're a very common sight in the Digital World, though are known to prefer to live in warmer climates, subtropical or even tropical zones.

Relatively small, stocky mammals ( the size of a medium dog ) with broad heads, large mouths and eyes, their round bodies vaguely resemble those of wombats or Tasmanian devils. The fur is trick, short and soft, a bit iridescent and slightly longer on the top of the head and back. The most common colors are various shades of reds, oranges, blues and whites, but there are variations, depending on area of habitat. The blue markings have different patterns. The tail is their most prominent feature, similar to that of a porcupine, though made up out of not quills but very long, thick, coarse bristly hairs. Elecmon fan their tails out when threatened, frightened, angry, or sometimes excited. It is also their weapon, as they discharge electricity primarily from them.

Their front paws have four short digits and small (almost)opposable thumbs, allowing them to use tools with some limitations.

They're generally known to be curious, lively and welcoming to strangers ( as long as you're not there to cause them harm or take anything from them, they'll turn quite territorial and very fast then ), though won't say no to a prank or two now and then.

Elecmon have also been observed to use their electricity to fish and hunt.

Even weaker discharges are enough to kill an adult human instantly, but there have so far been no known cases of that happening. Elecmon mostly cause damage to human technology, mostly unintentionally, if they find themselves in the real world.

small doodles of Dorumon's and Floramon's perfect forms in Aurora - Dorugreymon and Toropiamon~

[galehowl]

few quick sketches of the fourth partner Digimon in Aurora - Floramon, and her adult form, Astermon - a subspecies of Sunflowmon!

Her full evolution line is Floramon -> Astermon -> Toropiamon ( subspecies of ) -> BloomLordmon; though she remains a Data attribute through all of the forms.

She's also one of the younger Digimon in the group, and is quite boisterous and an outdoorsy person. Unsurprisingly, she loves nature and has quite a lot to say about how humans treat it, but also willing to help fix the state of things.

[galehowl]

Concept doodle of one of the "monster of the week" Digimon the characters in Aurora encounter - Furfumon

A Mega level Virus entity from the Dark Area, that as the name suggests, took on the identity and appearance of the demon Furfur from human literature.

Furfumon is completely silent - including lacking an audible physical voice, and everything near it feels like it's frozen in the eerie silence of a coming storm. Even though it itself doesn't really move, simply levitating in one spot, the feathers on its wings and the torn pieces of clothing constantly gently flutter as if affected by an unseen wind. Its horns emit a faint glow reminiscent of that of Saint Elmo's fires.

The two known abilities it used are Ignis Fatum - orbs of ghostly blue flame, and Darkest Night - a slow supercell cloud genesis that eventually produces unnatural violent tornadoes.

Furfumon was one of the more difficult encounters the Tamers had, as it was nearly untraceable, and no one, not even other Digimon, were alerted to its arrival, the only initial hints at its presence being odd weather patterns here and there. It was eventually noticed by meteorologists, when it started mildly affecting weather radars and similar technology - including a weak, ghostly voice - and the interference was speculated to be caused by a supernatural entity. It soon became clear that its actions didn't really have any rhyme or reason - nor was it itself interested in any communication, instead slowly manifesting stronger and stronger storms that would ultimately culminate in an outbreak of massive tornadoes that would cause severe casualties and destruction.

It was also with the help of meteorologists that the Tamers were able to pinpoint its eventual location in a race against time, and confront it in the middle of the storm.

some doodles of Aurora's Tailmon and Impmon

I don't usually draw digimon closer to their "normal" style, but I love their shiny googly eyes lol

[galehowl]

doodle of Impmon as he appears in Aurora~

[galehowl]

Small doodle of Holydramon, one of Tailmon's last forms in Aurora~

Her main and original evolution is Ophanimon, one of the ten Archangels and servants of Huanglongmon, also referred to as "Their Constellation/Stars" or "The Highest of High" in ancient past. In that form she was created, and in that form she served their ruler as a guardian of the nascent Digital world.

Holydramon is an alternative highest evolution she achieves as a partner digimon to a human, but it still marks her as a holy being and the progenitor of all the holy Digimon in their world.
