If you could give Daisuke, Miyako, and Iori their own crests, what would they be?

This is a really tough one!  I do love that they “inherited” crests; the whole “these kids gets mentors” was so cute?  A great way to bring back the older kids in a meaningful way.  I personally think the 02 crew “had it together” in ways the original crew... kind of didn’t, lol!  But they did have a lot of benefits (ability to go home, Koushiro as an advisor, mentors, two members who already knew what was going on, etc).

I also really love the observation that Adventure emphasized individual development (finding and earning and internalizing their crest traits, evolution is triggered by understanding yourself) and 02 emphasized team development (jogress/evolution triggered by strong bonds between teammates, inheriting wisdom from the ones who came before).  So...  I guess I hate to mess with that?  But I do also see the appeal of giving them their own traits...

THIS GOT INCREDIBLY LONG, but it’s a really cool post, I think!  So please read on beneath the cut!

Daisuke

Honestly, I think miracles works pretty well?  I’ve heard people say that Daisuke just...  Does whatever he wants/follows his gut, and it tends to work out; ie he’s more “lucky” than “an effective leader.”  

Personally, I...  Truly admire Daisuke’s faith and optimism and just...  Just raw belief in everyone?  I have anxiety, so sometimes my brain loves to tell me that a thing I’ve done a million times with no problems will somehow explode in my face.  Can you imagine just...  Choosing to always believe, and acting like everything will be okay?  I don’t mean “sticking your head in the sand and going LALALA THIS IS FINE,” I mean taking action without hesitation, even when things are scary.

Like, yeah, maybe that’s not always valid IRL- you need to plan and be realistic and accept and reevaluate when your plan isn’t working- although I’d argue that Daisuke learned to do that over the course of the series (I remember him saying the team should rest at some point, and everyone was surprised that he didn’t want to press on, except Ken).

But I also maintain that Daisuke’s ability to believe in himself, his team, and just a general “things will be okay” is what creates success that almost seems... miraculous!

Also, I think he is suuuch a great meld of courage and friendship, because he pushes on when things are scary (courage) and is able to do so because he believes in everyone (friendship).

So, I’m thinking something like faith/confidence/trust.  And having listed some similar-ish words...

I’m going with trust.  

What incredible things you can do, when you believe in yourself, your team, and the future.

Miyako

I’ve seen other people assign her the crest of “passion,” which I think is great!  

I think the thing about Miyako is that she’s, like...  Always on, always 150%, so dynamic and vibrant and just... her cup overflows with energy and... Miyako-ness.  

It’s clear to see how she relates to her “purity” side.  It took me a long time to understand what I think the crest of purity means, thanks to a lot of... ickiness around the word “pure” in western tradition, which is also why I am loathe to throw the word “innocence” into my definition.  Basically, I think the crest of purity means that Mimi and Miyako don’t dissemble/hide how they really feel.  You’re always getting their raw, honest truth.  And, because Mimi in particular is spoiled, she can come off as childish- which is where people like to throw in the word “innocent.”  

[The general selfishness of children is related to them not knowing yet that they aren’t the center of the world- psychologically; Freud would call it “being ruled by the id.”  It’s just a developmental stage, and doesn’t really indicate actual selfishness.  You know how Winnie the Pooh is a sweetheart, but can make things miserable for other people by just assuming he can help himself to everything?]

But Mimi also displays a child’s heart in terms of being kind and sweet and sensitive and wanting to help... and then swinging back towards the id at the drop of a dime, lol!

Like Mimi, Miyako is very comfortable giving her opinion and drawing attention to herself, and she doesn’t seem to be holding herself back...  But we do eventually see that things can weigh on her, and that she’s sometimes putting up a front when her energy actually isn’t at 150%.

I think the “love” part is a bit harder to pin down, but then...  The word “love” is incredibly vague, and means a million different things to different people, which is why I kind of hate discussing the crest of love!  I like to think of it as “the crest of compassion” to focus discussions; sympathetic consciousness of others' distress together with a desire to alleviate it.  

It’s kind of funny to think of Miyako with the crest of love compared to Sora.  Sora tends to show love by watching over people, being kind and supportive and brave even when she’s struggling and hiding the signs of her struggle/dismissing her own struggles, doing things for others, often without even letting people know she did anything.

In comparison, Miyako shows compassion by being present for people she loves, telling them bluntly when they need to shape up (which, frankly, a lot of Digimon characters really need.  We need waaaaaay less staring into each other’s faces and never answering concerned questions and waaaaaaay more *slap* GET IT TOGETHER!  God, ilu Miyako), and being honest and open about how much she cares for them.

So yeah, passion!  

Iori

One of my favorite Chosen, this sweet good boy that I lovelovelovelove!

So one thing about Iori is that, while I can write big honkin’ analysis of how Daisuke and Miyako show their inherited crests...  Um, I think Iori is his own thing.  Like, I don’t... super get honesty and knowledge off of him.  I mean, the honesty thing, sure.  His Grandpa taught him not to lie, we had a whole ep based on that alone.  As for knowledge, yes, he wants to know the truth and get to the bottom of things.  

But...  Neither crest ever felt like a slam dunk for him?  Even though it’s easy to see how “honesty” and “knowledge” coalesce into “a desire for truth,” which is further illustrated in his career as a (presumably upright and truth-seeking) lawyer.  Like, it’s right there in front of your face, Hidden!

BUT LEMME PULL UP A CHAIR, CAPTAIN AMERICA STYLE, AND HASH WITH YOU.

The thing that, to me, stands out about Iori most is that he’s grounded and centered.  Have you seen that post recently that explains how Daisuke tried, just one time, to treat Iori like a little kid (he says, “shut up, little brat”)?  And Iori- who is about three years younger than Daisuke, and much more withdrawn- politely but firmly replies, “Please don’t talk to me like that.”  

AND YOU KNOW WHAT?  DAISUKE APOLOGIZES AND NEEEEVER TALKS DOWN TO IORI AGAIN.

Iori is like...  He’s like eight, my dudes!  Rolling with a bunch of eleven-ish year olds!  He’s personal friends with Miyako, a twelve year old, before Adventure 02 even opens!  And we don’t often see him being doted on and protected like Takeru and Hikari were in the same situation.

YOU WANNA KNOW WHY?  The simple answer is that he’s mature, but I wanna say that he’s grounded, the ultimate earth sign type (I think Digmon is a pretty clear metaphor).  He doesn’t get flustered or swayed.  He knows where he is, where he stands, what he must do.  On the one hand, this makes him mature beyond his years, reliable, able to stand up for himself and be an equal team mate among kids who are older than him.

The downside is that “that which cannot bend must break.”  I’m sure you’ve read a zillion metas about how Iori sees in black-and-white originally and has trouble changing his world views and learning to forgive...  But he does all of those things, maturing further into possibly just... just...  Can you even imagine him as an adult?!  HE’S TOO POWERFUL.

So, if he were an Adventure character, I’d say that his crest is integrity, and he has to go through his adventure to learn what that really means for him- to develop from stubborn, black-and-white thinking to true integrity.

THANKS FOR THE ASK!

[wcamino-confessions]

Ngl, I feel bad for one of my best friends Beeflight, not cause anything bad in particular happened to her but because she has to deal with me complaining how I don't wanna go back to WA everyday. I know that sounds dumb for me to complain about and it is I won't lie, but it got me thinking, I should be excited to get off my hiatus but instead I'm miserable, I don't wanna go back and as the days got closer and closer to my hiatus being over, I'd get even more angry and depressed about it, which shouldn't happen y'know? And it's not even that I'm dreading something in particular, it's for a ton of reasons, lemme explain:

After a certain event I don't want to get into cause I simply don't feel ready to share with the world rn despite what certain users might think lol, I'm not comfortable with wa, it's taken my desire to be on WA away, it's ruined it for me and being there makes me feel like shit.

My friends I have on discord, so I wouldn't even be staying for friends at that point, granted bee wants to introduce me to her friends which I am excited for but besides that ehhh ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ not really any friendship reasons to stay on WA.

I'm not to great mentally but I'm better now then I was when I was actively using Warriors Amino. Instead of being on my phone 24/7 and not leaving my bed, I'm leaving my bed and talking to people, granted 90% of the time I'm doing it while playing splatoon or animal crossing on my switch but it's better then nothing, it's either that or I'm talking to bee, twelv or my other best friends on Discord.

Why am I telling a ton of strangers this? Well, the truth is idk, I guess I need some advice? To get stuff off my chest? To give Bee a break from my idiocy lmao,, I really don't know,, I guess I would appreciate some suggestions, maybe input? If you listened thank you, and Bee if you had to read this sorry you had to hear me rant about this for the billionth time, ilu dude 🥺💗

The only thing keeping me around is well,, clans, and tbh idk what to do in that regard, if I stay it'll only be for my clans and for commissions I suppose, but I feel like I'd be absolutely miserable? But if I leave all my clans and if I leave wa, I guess I'd fear that I'm missing out or I'd regret it, I always have a serious habit of thinking of "What If's" and it's really sad actually. "What if I change my mind" "what if I leave the clans, come back and then what? They can't let me rejoin" I guess it stems from me working so hard to be where I am in my clans that leaving them would make me feel garbage, but staying on WA would make me feel worse.

I also wanna start PayPal commissions and point commissions more regularly so I can pay for switch games and buy myself some stuff for my birthday, but I wouldn't make a prophet on any other platform I'm on, ya get me? But maybe that's just my mind making excuses at this point because everyone knows WA is cheap as hell and if you don't sell for coins the majority of members won't bite lol.

start of the leaked episodes w/25 and 26

the video’s been sped up but luckily VLC media player can fix that pretty easily so while the video quality’s still garbage, at least it’s not hell on the ears 👍

MR HARRISON

lol

sdfjkhgjdfkhgsdjfh THERE’S the TFP!Ratchet coming through

Whirl your book is. upside-down

oh boy I’m not very good at identifying TFs normally but uuuhhhh lemme give it a try

oh not just upside-down, the text is mirrored too. the stuff that isn’t covered by her hand says “cyber” which is a nice change of pace from the usual gibberish and/or reused bits of other phrases

y’all………………………………..

sdjfkhgjkfgk I get the felling like half of them are gonna end up flailing around uselessly in the air as well

ok I don’t think their new alts are gonna be revealed just yet but I’m gonna go ahead and guess jic they are. Based on the toyline Medix’s new alt should be a real-ass ambulance, Wedge should be a bulldozer or cement truck, Whirl should be a jet though that seems pretty redundant tbh, and uh. actually I don’t think Hoist has been given another alt mode in the toyine, weird. Another watercraft would be good for the team, maybe a tugboat? that’d be cute

rip

did he say “By the Primes!” or “All the Primes!” because I actually like the second one better tbh

Hot Shot ilu but they did absolutely agree to do this, you don’t have to take all the blame

and that’s how Hasbro reintroduced Action Masters :D jk I know they wouldn’t actually go through with that but Damn

HOT SHOT I LVOE YOU

I know he’s gonna be fine by the end of the episode but :screaming man:

I LVOE YOU AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH

YEAH

well. assuming their Mul-T-Cogs just needed a jumpstart but are now at full functionality then yeah, that makes sense

are you kidding me HE’S A QUINTUPLE CHARGER NOW?!

that’s So Many alt modes going around, jesus

I don’t remember there being anything beyond his current alt modes in the toyline so I vote he gets a dino mode

I MEAN, they didn’t get to choose their original alt modes iirc

______________________________________________________________

OH RIGHT I forgot there was also a car toy for Whirl

OH NICE you dweeb

ALSO NICE

WHERE ARE THE TOYS OF THESE AAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH

granted I haven’t really been keeping up with RBA stuff for a while and also this hasn’t actually aired yet so,

I woulda said “Percy” but y’know what? Valid

YOU WANNA BE A ROCKET?!?!?!

that’d be DOPE but I highly doubt this is gonna work out

SFHSDJKHKJDFHSKJFHSDKF

HE’S BABY

I know this is only maybe barely Aligned but can you Imagine if Fowler was just There

“I asked nicely but now you’ve left me with NO OTHER OPTION…” *calls his dad*

so if Hot Shot had scanned the rocket would he have become a miniature one or would there be some weird mass shifting going on so he’d be the same size as the original

that’s a SERIOUSLY modified version of the firetruck he scanned but alrighty

AW

PWEASE….A TUGBOAT I’m super attached to this idea now

YES give HW the recognition he deserves

oh well I guess someone did get a dino mode. neat!

Roleplaying/Writing

My favorite muse(s) of theirs and why: Ohhh man this is such a hard choice to make? Because if I’m being honest, I love every character I’ve ever seen you  write. I’ll be honest, there’s a special soft part of my heart for your alchemist AU Hughes and the little family we scratched up for teeny tiny Scar, because let me tell you  that shit added decades onto my lifespan. But I also love how much care you’ve put into developing Jesse, and baby Kimbles, way back when (that tiny gremlin was the first time we ever wrote together, remember that?). And let’s not even get me started on Olivia. Holy shit, I would kill or die for Livvy. She’s just a sweet, sweet little bean, and you’ve absolutely given her so much life and being and personality and just presence, if that makes sense. Just- You’re such a great writer, and it really shines through in how you’ve developed every character you’ve written. They’re all so deep and alive and just. Wow. I love it. 

My favorite interaction/thread of theirs: G o d again okay I really did love the papa Hughes and baby Scar threads we had going on way back when, but I also love Livvy and my son being the puff squad. And I love the three tired Spanish superheroes we’ve got going on with Erika. They’re just. All so good.

My thoughts on their unique characterization/interpretation of their muse(s): See above, but I will never pass up on the chance to say that Alex is wonderful beyond words. 

My thoughts on their writing style as a whole: It’s amazing. I’ve always loved it and that’s not going to change. I’d describe it as conversational, which I’ve heard said about my own; So, maybe I’m kinda bias, but that’s the sort of thing I dig. I love it. 

Situation(s)/Plot(s) I’d love to see their muse(s) in: This is going to sound hypocritical, but can we let them be happy? Just for once? Let them be safe and warm in a happy, healthy home for once. I’ll fight Livvy’s adoptive parents behind every Denny’s in the country if I had to. 

Someone else I love seeing them interact with: I love all of your interactions tbh. Seeing Livvy slowly take over the world is a wonderful  thing to experience. 

Anything else I want to say about their roleplaying: If it were a food I would eat it.

If We Know Each Other

What I Think Are Their Best Qualities: You’re super creative, funny, and an actual sweetheart. I love seeing you post pictures of your/your boss’s cat(s), your selfies are adorable, and you’re just. So good all around. This is gonna sound super cheesy but I’m proud as heck of you, lovely.

What I Think Are Their Strengths: The understanding of your characters and the detail you’re willing to give them in every aspect of your life? You’re one of those people who I feel can answer pretty much any question about the minutiae of them and it’s great. Ilu.

A Memorable OOC Interaction Of Ours: Does the McFurry thing count

Why Others Should RP With Them: Because Alex is a gift unto the world and you will never be bored reading their writing just. Treat yourself by loving Alex.

How Others Should Approach Them: Kindly and gently but also with memes.

Other Roleplayers I’d Recommend To Them:  Uhh dang oh lemme see. I dunno actually you know most of my favs. You’ve been with me long enough lmao

Anything else I want to say about them: I would kill or die or ascend for Alex you need to know this

If We Have/Plan To Interact Together

A plot I’d like to write with them: I mean I’d be down for baby keyslinger livvy in KH but I also love our superheroes on the run AU. But also tiny smuggler Liv and her Jedi friend?A muse I want to introduce to them: You know all of my kids that I write on Tumblr let’s be real I have zero skeletons in the closet with youA ship/broship I’d like to propose to them: All my muses are dudes so it’d have to be platonic but again. Aside from Scar she’s met all of them and the Puff Squad is amazingA thread with them I’m excited about: ANY AND ALL THREADS WE HAVE I LOVE UAnything else I want to say: do you think birds are aware of their toes.
