#i think it would be presumptious to say she was mentally disabled

[calicomon]

oh! i totally forgot to tell you something that made me really really happy to be a digimon fan!

so on sunday the second tri movie was shown in theatres around here and i went with my bby bro (he treated me to subway on our way home, bless him) and as we were waiting in line to get popcorn i noticed a girl in front of us, probably my age, who was accompanied by what i guessed were her older sisters. she held one of her sister´s hands and in the other she held one of those old mcdonald´s patamon plushies real close to her chest, whispering to it.

the plushie looked so well-loved, with the print-on eyes mostly rubbed off and the wings curled at the tips to perfectly fit into her palm. she kept on talking to her sister about digivolution and how patamon is really strong when he evolves and then saves everyone and even though the sister didn´t seem to care a lot about digimon she kept smiling and nodding encouragingly, probably hearing it for the 100th time.

later in the theatre they sat two or three rows behind us and every time patamon was on screen i heard her saying his name quietly but so excitedly!

just seeing someone be so openly excited about this thing that´s a big part of our childhoods and carrying around the plush that she must have had with her for years had me overjoyed, i loved the movie a little more with every “patamon!” i heard from behind me and hope she´ll be back again next month to watch the third movie that´s dedicated to her fave
