Here it is, the annual Gomamon Pod photo for 2022! And a few cute close-ups :3 Happy Gomamon Day!

[natticusthegomamon]

[[I recently finished Digimon Story Cyber Sleuth Complete Edition on Steam after starting it like 5 times across various versions/platforms lol. Here’s my final team! Did take some creative liberties for Natticus, as Leviamon was about the only water/virus mega available. Plesiomon was somehow stronger than MetalSeadramon for Zarrus too. Cassius hasn’t been revealed on the blog yet, and he doesn't have a physical form so no photos irl with the rest of the goma pod. (I’m still working on figuring out his goma +evos designs, don’t even have a ref sheet for him yet. Too broke to afford a plush atm tho...) ]]

[natticusthegomamon]

Here's the annual Gomamon Pod update - I've bought some and sold some so it hasn't really grown much. 

Not shown: one bootleg gomamon keychain plush (he was hanging on back of the collection shelf and I sorta missed him ^^; )

We’re having a lazy Sunday today~ :3

Incomplete Ask Meme from beyond the drafts

[[ So I dug up some old files recently that had a draft of a meme I never completed. I had a good laugh at Zarrus and Natticus being lil shits as usual XD Though it is still incomplete please enjoy lol ]]

Questionnaire Meme!

A. Character Names: Natticus, Milus & Zarrus

B. Fill in the questions/statements as if you were the Characters.

C. Tag as many friends/followers as you want to do this meme!

1. What is your name?

Natticus: I'm Natticus, and this is my tumblog :3

Milus: Hi, my name is Milus *waves*

Zarrus: Hey, it's the real boss right here, Zarrus ;3

2. Do you know why you were named that?

Natticus: I decided I wanted a name so made one up. It's my own, no one else has it~

Milus: Well I was playing some video games and one monster's name stood out, so I decided to use it as my player name. And then figured why not offline too? ^^;

Zarrus: I figured since "boss" wasn't a real name so I decided on Zarrus-

Natticus: Is that a mix of "Zack" and "Walrus"? :p

Zarrus: Shut up Red! I bet your name is a mix of "Nautilus" and "Narcissus", so that'd make you a selfish shellfish! AHAHAHAHAA! XD

Milus: ...I hate to say it, but that was actually clever.

Natticus: Noooo, Milus not you too! D:

3. Are you single or taken?

Natticus: We have a tamer, so are we taken? o.O

Milus: Yes, I suppose so, no renegade digimon here. Well, Zarrus is debatable...

Zarrus: Heh, even if I was single, I'm too good for you internet chum anyways, too low tier.

4. Any Abilities or powers?

Natticus: I can swim, smash ice, endure cold temperatures, dive in deep water and summon fish buddies! :3

Zarrus: We can all do that though, you ain't special. Forget cold weather though, that ain't me.

Natticus: I thought you couldn't dive where ya can't see?

Zarrus: Then I can just evolve and use that, uhh, whatsit. Echos?

Milus: Yes, echolocation is very useful in dark water, it's like seeing, but without your eyes. I've never been able to use it myself, but it's an interesting and useful ability!

Zarrus: Yea, what about you?

Milus: Oh, when I evolve I get oppose-able thumbs. Great for playing playing video games :3

Zarrus: *eye roll* Typical.

5. What’s one thing you like and dislike?

Natticus: Only one of each? In before Zarrus says his favourite thing is himself :b

Zarrus: Would you shut up?! Ugh. Anyways, if you exclude eating, which is always good, a thing I like is surfing! It's sooo much fun, see, this guy knows how to flow~ And something I don't like, well, excluding Red-

Natticus: Hey! Rude!

Zarrus: I guess it would be de-volving into a baby form. You're pretty useless at everything when you're a weak little splat, ya know?

Milus: I like video games, they're awesome forms of entertainment~ :D I don't like having my tail pulled, so don't do it :<

Natticus: I like watching movies with Fandramon, they're a good low-energy way to pass time together! Bonus if there's snacks to eat too :3 I don't like taking baths, they suck :/

6. What is your eye color?

Natticus: Teal!

Milus: Light green.

Zarrus: Mine are green too, but an olivey-green I guess.

7. How about your hair color?

Natticus: I have a red mane :3

Zarrus: Mine is orange, bright and awesome!

Natticus: No kidding, you can spot it from super far away...

Milus: Mine's a less bright of an orange compared to yours Zarrus ^^;

8. Have you got any family members?

Natticus: Family? Probably, but I don't know any in particular. I mean, I hatched from a digiegg and  there wasn't anymon around.

Milus: I'm sure there's ways to have your data analyzed to find out, but that may not really be beneficial for anything except knowing your evolutionary potential. I don't personally know any either.

Zarrus: I was buddies with some other aquatic 'mons back in the digital world. We'd beat up bullies and break stuff for fun! :D

Milus: Zarrus that's not a family, that sounds like a gang :/

Zarrus: So, what's the difference?

Milus: "Family" members share derivative data that can be traced back to one or more contributing or related sources, for examp-

Zarrus: No, wait, no, forget it, I'm sorry I asked. Sounds complicated.

9. Oh? How about pets?

Natticus: Not really...do the marching fishes count? If so then I have...a lot. heh.

Zarrus: I guess we all sort of do then.

Milus: Fandramon has pets; mostly reptiles and an aquatic one. Unsure if "pets by association" really count ^^;

10. That’s cool, I guess. Now tell me something about yourself.

Zarrus: Is that not what we've been doing this whole time...? WHO CAME UP WITH THIS THING?!

Natticus: Well, uhhh, I've got a whole bunch of cool evolutions! See? ~evo line link~ :3

Milus: I just realized, even though Zarrus has the most evolutions between all 3 of us, he doesn't have a non-standard form-

Zarrus: And what the heck is that supposed to mean, are you calling me inferior?! You lookin' for a smackdown? Huh?!

Milus: I'm just saying, I have a Blizzarmon form and Natticus has his Depthmon form. This isn't a fight, it's a civilized discussion about evolutions. What I meant is, not everyone has identical coding even though we have the same rookie forms right now. Calm your tail ;>_>

Natticus: If that's the case then that also means we're not related at all right? Phew, it would be awful to be related to you Zack :b

11. Do you have any activities/hobbies you like to do?

12. Have you hurt anyone in any way before?

Natticus: We're digimon, what do you expect?

Milus: Well yes, conflicts with other digimon usually result in injuries.

13. Ever... Killed anyone before?

Natticus: Yep, some mons just don’t know when to leave me alone so ya know I had to do it to em. No regrets >:3

Milus: I... try not to honestly ^^;

Zarrus: Well yea of course, it’s mon-fite-mon out in Net Ocean-

Natticus: Yea but you’ve probably died more time than the mons you’ve killed :b

Zarrus: Shut it Red! No one asked that question!

14. What kind of animal are you?

Natticus: We're digimon ._.; Though compared to other animals from this world I guess we're kinda like seals or sea lions right?

15. Name your worst habits?

16. Do you look up to anyone at all?

17. Are you Gay, Straight or Bisexual?

18. Do you go to school?

Zarrus: Pffft, digimon don't go to school! Screw that noise.

Natticus: I don't, and Fandramon doesn't go to school either. Sounds boring, except for swimming. And lunch. Those'd be my best-scored classes :3

Milus: Even though we all don't go, I would like to attend one sometime, there seems to be a lot of opportunities to learn new things there *^*

19. Ever wanna get married and have kids?

Natticus: What's with all this stuff about kids? There was a question about them in the other meme thing too. They look like little goatmon! But what would you want them?

Zarrus: And what's a "Married"? Where do you find it? 

20. Do you have any fangirls/fanboys?

21. What are you most afraid of?

22. What do you usually wear?

Natticus: Nothing! X3 It would be neat to wear some clothes sometime for a change though...

Zarrus: You're weird. None of us wear anything in this form, since it's not like anything'd fit anyhow.

Natticus: Could've fooled me, you're always tumbling through the laundry basket, thought you'd try something on since you're in there XD

Zarrus: Shut it Red, I do what I want! It's like swimming, only not.

Natticus: Well when you tip it over and wipe-out then yea, I can see that X3

Milus: Hey 'mons let's not start, thanks! ^^;; My other forms have some clothing or armour and things, but not this one.

23. What’s one food that tempts you?

Natticus: Just one? Shrimp is my favourite, so that'd be it :3

Milus: Just about anything cooked in tempura batter, so crispy and yummy~

Zarrus: Hmmmm, I like freshly caught fish, I'd have to say my favourite from the human world is Yellowtail Snapper; See how delicious they look?!  ...Ah damn, now I'm hungry -_-; 

24. Am I (the memer/asker) annoying you?

Natticus: Noooo of course not! Fandramon you're my tamer and therefore my super awesome best friend! *^*

Milus: No, obviously, I do enjoy your company here in the human world :3

Zarrus: Ya think I'd stick around here if I didn't love ya? ;3 Whoever made this meme thing is a lil annoying tho, not gonna lie, I don’t get most of these questions

[[Fandramon: lol you 'mons XD]]

25. Night Owl or Early Bird?

Natticus: We're not birds, we're digimon ._.;

Zarrus: So which would I rather be, a Birdramon or an Owlmon? What is with these stupid questions? ;>_>

Milus: I think it means what time of day do you prefer, though I just sleep whenever so I don't really have a preference.

Natticus: I can stay up late better than wake up early I guess.

Zarrus: I dunno if I count as an early type but when it gets dark out usually that’s a sign to get some sleep. So again, because these questions are so dumb I can't answer 'em right :/

26. What class are you? Low class, Middle class, or High class?

Zarrus: So, uh, at rookie level does that make us middle class or? What the hell is this ranking system all about?

Natticus: Maybe you rank up depending on how many evolutions you have...?

Zarrus: I'd beat the both of ya then~

Milus: I think it's a ranking system humans use, but I have no idea what it's for. Not evolving though, at least that much I can say.

27. How many friends do you have?

28. Any thoughts on pie?

Natticus: Pie! You can eat it, therefore it's good.

Zarrus: There's fruit pie and meat pie, but is there fish pie? o.O

Milus: There could be, the "pie" is just the outer crust that holds the contents, right?

Natticus: Then we should make some and eat them! :3

30. Favorite drink?

31. What’s your favorite place?

32. Are you interested in anyone?

33. If you’re a girl, what’s your cup size?

Nattucis: Uh...

Milus: I don't really think this applies to any of us here ^^;

Zarrus: Boring! Next question!

34. Would you rather swim in an ocean or a lake?

Milus: A swim is a swim no matter where, no preference here. Just no bathtubs, that's too small ^^;

Zarrus: Gotta be out in the open ocean, lakes are kinda lame in comparison. Plus, you can't surf waves in a lake!

Natticus: I hate to agree with Zarrus, but yea, I like the ocean more too; lakes can be nice but they can also be muddy and shallow. The underwater plants and weeds don't help when you're swimming either.

35. What’s your type?

Natticus: Virus~ :3

Milus: Vaccine.

Zarrus: Data! Best there is! *puffs chest*

36. Any fetishes?

Zarrus: Well, I like--

Milus: Whoa, hold on, nope, no, stop, this blog is supposed to stay clean ;>_>

Zarrus: Damn it, the one time when I get a chance to answer a question and ya gotta ruin my fun :/

Natticus: Moving along...

37. Seme or Uke?

Natticus: What? What language is this? What is it? ...Does this have any relation to the question before it? ;>_>

Zarrus: I'm with Red on this one, the hell does that even mean?

Milus: ...U-uhm, well, it means like, y'know, are you dominant or submissive type? *blush*

Zarrus: I dominate everything! Anyone else is a weak ass follower! ...Uh, which one's that?

Natticus: *facepaw* Why. Why this? What is this meme even trying to accomplish here?

Milus: Leeeet's just go to the next question, okay? ^^;

38. Camping or indoors?

39. Are you mostly a Carnivore, a Omnivore or a Herbivore?

Natticus: I like eating meat so I guess that makes me a carnivore.

Zarrus: Total carnivore, ya don't get tough eating weeds.

Milus: I'll eat what I can find, I'm not too picky ^^; That makes me an omnivore I suppose.

40. Finally, body type? Like Skinny, Chubby etc.

Natticus: Well, Zarrus is pretty small and kinda fat32--

Zarrus: Describe yourself not me you idiot! And I am not! Grrrr! I’m just ya standard gomamon type, only a data type so way cooler (˘ ω ˘)

Natticus: Because I've lived most of my lifetime as a Gomamon, just to conserve energy for battles and all that, this form has grown to a, uhhh, less baby type shape I guess...? Milus! What are words?

Milus: You’re thinking of “proportional”, or, a form more similar to a fully-grown animal. As opposed to a “juvenile”, adolescent or neonate form. As for me, I suppose as a gomamon I’m sort of a mix of the human world seal and sea lion animals in terms of shape... admittedly more like a seal though ^^;

Some close-up photos from the Goma Pod group photo! In case you needed your daily dose of gomamon cuteness today :3

Time to start off Gomamon Day with an updated photo of the gomamon plushie pod here; the only place you'll find more is on Goma Island ;3

Tiny Digimon OC Headcanons

OC: Zarrus Topic: Sleep

Zarrus, as a mainly fully aquatic digimon, rarely has the luxury of a deep sleep; since all of his evolutions don't go onto land (Dolphmon, Whamon, etc) he is used to half-sleeping, a process that allows for basic vital functions (breathing, swimming) while still resting. As a gomamon he has a hard time getting used to "fully sleeping" and is often restless, waking up once or twice during the night. As such, he has never experienced a dream before, which is a phenomenon only a deep restful sleep can provide.

[natticusthegomamon]

Gomamon Pod 2017 sneak peek! The whole gang will be shown off on Gomamon Day! :3

[natticusthegomamon]

Fandramon: The very awesome @iguana-chan (Also known as Iguky on DA), sacrificed time, effort and sleep to run a charity stream for Mexico disaster relief; $115 was raised! Awesome! Of course I had to get the Gomamon Pod drawn up, look how cute they are! And the funds went to a good cause~

Natticus: Hey it’s me being adorable :3 There’s Zack bein’ a grumpy tail as usual. Wonder what game Milus is playin’?

[natticusthegomamon]

Natticus: It’s heeeeeeeerrrreeeeee! ( ºωº )

Fandramon: Calm down a bit Natticus, sheesh. Glad it fits you, I was worried it was too small-

Zarrus: You mean, you thought Red would be too fat? :b

Natticus: I’m not fat, and I’m not Red either! Grrrr!

Zarrus: Oh hey, mine’s here too! Check it! (ˇωˇ) The only thing that could make it even more awesome is if it had dolphins on it.

Natticus: What’re those little things on it between the trees? Flying bananas? :b

Milus: ...It looks like Swords of Revealing Light... maybe I should take a break if I’m seeing things from my video game in real life ^^;

[natticusthegomamon]

Zarrus: Check it! Fan drew me, don’t I look awesome? ;3

[natticusthegomamon]

DigiJuly # ...I forgot, but I’m behind

[[ Here’s a doodle of Zarrus being a brat as usual. I dunno if ‘digimon shaming’ is still funny anymore but whatever. ]]

[natticusthegomamon]

23. Do they have a good memory? Short term or long term? Are they good with names? Or faces? [nate, maybe with bonus Zack barging in XD]

Natticus: Why am I ‘Nate’ now? I’m not a yokai guy or whatever ;>ᆺ> I like to think I’m pretty smart though~ Milus is smart too but like, a different kind of smart. It’s tough to explain-

Zarrus: You’re obviously dumb Red if ya can’t even s- HEY! You callin’ me names now brick-butt!?

Natticus: As you can see, Zack is bad with names. And he might not be that smart :b

Zarrus: Oi, I can answer for myself :/ I’m not dumb, I’m just a different kinda smart than Milus or Red that’s all. Humph.

Natticus: Hmmm, I do get forgetful if I somehow end up devolving into a Pichimon. It’s tough to retain information when you’re that small ^^; I don’t end up dying or getting myself killed as often as Zack has though at least.

Zarrus: You’re probably just weak because you always run away from battles. I’m a skilled fighter ( ˇωˇ )

Natticus: I don’t run, if I can outsmart them then I don’t even need to fight them in the first place (¬ᆺ¬) You couldn’t even remember what the difference was between a Gotsumon and a Meteormon, one is a much higher level-

Zarrus: Psh, who cares, just knock ‘em in the water and they’ll sink to the bottom either way… I’ll make sure they don’t surface; easy targets makes for easy data >:3

Natticus: …See I don’t need to hoard my data and buff up if I’m smart enough to pick only the fights I know I can win. Duh. If you mess up then you’re dead-

Zarrus: But then I know what not to do!

Natticus: (-ᆺ-); I think you’ve cycled too many times if you think that’s a good strategy, but whatever. As a digimon, when in the digital world we don’t really need to remember ‘names’ the way humans do, but it’s good to know how to address a digimon if you want to get acquainted with them. Every ‘mon is different though. As such, it’s important to remember faces, or other details, very well, I don’t have any trouble with that~

Zarrus: I only remember the stuff that’s important, so rarely I’ll forget someone or something-

Natticus: Uh huh. “Rarely”. Sure.

Zarrus: Shut up Red!

Natticus: Grrr, my name’s Natticus here, or did you forget that too!?

Zarrus: I said I only remember *important* stuff ya moronmon!

Milus: *ahem* Why don’t you two calm yourselves down and finish answering the questions.

Zarrus: …What were we on about again? Memories?

Natticus: Well that’s your answer, my turn now; I haven’t cycled too many times but I feel like I remember most of my time in the Digital World, except when I was a babymon ^^;

[natticusthegomamon]

Zarrus: Check out this sweet bandana I’ve got! Fan gave it to me. Now everyone knows I’m an alpha matcher (ˇωˇ)

Milus: That’s... completely inappropriate (-ᆺ-);

Natticus: That’s only because there weren’t any bigger sized ones that’d fit me or Milus left, or she’d’ve gotten one for each of us to be fair. So stop bragging like you’re special (¬ᆺ¬)

[[ Last Sunday I went to a pet expo event! It was pretty crazy, so many dogs and cats and other animals there! I just went to buy food for my pets ^^; Sadly I didn’t get to stick around for very long so I couldn’t take some fun pics with Elliot. If you’re wondering, AlphaMatch is a neat service that provides specialized ad services for pet owners in Canada. ]]

[natticusthegomamon]

DemiDevimon: "Hey! Leggo of my fish!"

Zarrus held the fish firmly in his claws, “Your fish? Nuh-uh, I caught it first! Not my fault this dumb fish tried takin’ your bait after I caught it. Now gimme,” the gomamon pulled the fish towards him, tugging the fishing line as well. “If ya don’t let it go I’m'a dunk you in the water along with your fishing rod you @halfsizedevil.” Zarrus hesitated summoning his own fish followers; *This dumb ‘mon better give up, my only attack will prob'ly just give him a meal! Not that I don’t believe in my buddies but flying and claws don’t usually have good odds for aquatic types like them…*
