Ep15 - Zudomon's Iron Hammer of Lightning

Thoroughly enjoyed this episode, gotta love Jou and Gomamon's partnership!

Jou is basically the most human out of the kids, scared shitless in this strange world. But Gomamon is there to remind him to grow some balls & be the awesome senpai he's meant to be 💙

Also. Look at that face ≧ω≦

Traveling in style??

Episode 11 = giant basket

Episode 13 = giant log

Episode 15 = TBD

What'll they be riding in next? It literally could be anything at this point ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[yulhanni]

Still can't believe my eyes that 20 years later the idea of Sora tightly holding onto Yamato as they elope into the sunset ride on Garurumon is now canon. Something that I only saw in fanart! Ahh it's a beautiful time for Sorato fans♪~ ᕕ(ᐛ)ᕗ

Also, look at future wife holding onto future husband so tightly! Who cares they're being shot at & running full speed into danger, all I see is skinship (ʘ‿ʘ).

Sora x Yamato working as a team ❤

Best duo EVER.

[yulhanni]

I know ep11 was Yamato's episode, but can we just appreciate how cool Birdramon's power up was?!

[yulhanni]

There's cool-kid Yamato again not wanting to show he cared, but of course Sora knows better ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

[yulhanni]

I was looking so forward to ep11, and not just because Sora and Yamato were together, but because the episode also focused on my personal favorite trio!

These three babies are my golden trio for sooo many reasons! All three characters played important roles in each other's character arcs in the original -- Jou caused Yamato to activate his Crest of Friendship (Sora also helped them behind the scenes); Sora continously encouraged and supported Jou despite his cowerdlyness in the beginning; and Yamato and Jou pulled Sora out of the Cave of Darkness. So to have an episode (and potentially two more!) of this underated trio just makes me nostalgic 🤧.

Digimon Adventure x Final Fantasy XIV | Chosen Children + Sorato

Sorato was never my OTP.

But the amount of Taiora/Takari/Koumi fans hating on it because it destroyed their favorite three ships is just sad.

It makes me wonder if the fandom is like Ash from Pokemon - never growing up while holding this amazing amout of hatred towards Yamato/Matt for ‘stealing Taichi/Tai’s girl’ when it was Sora’s choice and the brunet had nothing to do with it.

It’s like, did you watch the anime at all? Or just the ships?

Because, seriously, this pointless hate has been going on for well over a decade. When will you stop caring about who Sora decided to marry? A fictional character, I remind you.

For all our english-readers sorato fans, we bring you an amazing AU!Valentine’s Day Sorato written by Flipstahhz, this great sorato writer who (as 95% of us xD) returned to the fandom thanks to Tri (thank you Tri!). 

And just because I can, I’ll recommend one of her longshots as well, and it’s finished you guys! It’s an AU and Yamato sings jazz. That’s all you need to know to start loving it RIGHT NOW: My funny Valentine

[yulhanni]

Made this because my friend didn’t know this was a thing, so I thought maybe others don’t either? Hope it helps someone out!

[yulhanni]

I think we share the same NOTP ;p

the name of certain notp of mine literally sounds something like “kill myself” in Portuguese and it makes me laugh every time

[yulhanni]

[yulhanni]

Same pose. What a power couple <3.

^o^

Even if you don’t respect what was in canon, respect the people who do.

*reblogging for the awesome gif* 

I think it’s strange when Sorato fans complain about “people caring too much about shipping when Digimon is clearly a show about friendship” while they spend a surprising amount of time “exposing” hints for their OTP. We get it, it’s canon. Now let people ship what they want to, yeah? When Sorato fans argue that people hate their OTP because it’s canon, I wonder if they’ll ever realize it’s hateful Sorato fans that made the couple so highly unpopular. We don’t hate Sora or Yamato, we kinda just hate the arguments and attitude with which you justify it. Sincerely, the rest of the Digimon Community.

So like...what about all the Yamato and Sora bashers saying Yamato is a terrible friend because he "stole his best friend's girl"? Or that Sora can't make "the right choice in her love life"? (Ahem hello crest memes). What about all the sexist comments about how Sora is a slut/bimbo/flake because she likes Yamato? Or that she chose Yamato only for his good looks or that he's in a band/a "rockstar"? Are you speaking for them too OP?

I mean c'mon, you don't need to look far to see Sora/Yamato character bashing floating around the fandom. These haters will literally demoralize the characters to justify their contempt for the pairing. And that's not ok.

And well hey, maybe, just maybe, some Sorato fans are eager to point out their hints/evidence/facts because they constantly see antis claiming Sorato "never interacted", "doesn't make sense", "have nothing in common", is "incompatible", "came out of nowhere", yada yada yada. All points that have been refuted time and time again by canon material, reliable sources/interviews and educated guesses based on facts. From my experience, I STILL read inaccurate information/rumors about Sorato. There are actual people out there who think Taichi and Sora dated and that Yamato "got with his best friend's ex". (Yes, someone twitted this lol.)

Let me also point out that Sorato/Sora/Yamato bashing has been around since the beginning of Adventures, way before it was officially announced canon by both the creators of Adventure. Yet even to this day antis still try to downplay its canonicity by saying the creators were "on crack" or that Kakudou was "selfish" because apparently 'everyone else on his team wanted taiora' (keep in mind there has been no proof of this), or that he (the fucking creator/director mind you) doesn't know his characters as well as these antis do. Do you honestly blame us for wanting to defend our OTP from all this bias and stupid hate?

If you're tired of hearing Sorato is canon, then I'm tired of hearing butthurt antis demeaning the pairing and the characters because their ship didn't sail. I'm tired of hearing that Sora 'belongs' to [insert name other than Yamato] as if she is some object to own. I'm tired of hearing Yamato is "better left by himself" because [insert name other than Yamato] deserves love (as if Yamato doesn't??). I'm tired of seeing antis harass Toei to retcon the epilogue so Taiora can be canon and/or not to put Sorato in tri -- basically demanding Toei to ignore the original creator's work. I'm tired of hearing the same old "it came out of no where", "they hardly interacted" (ironically these are also the same antis who ship other pairings that hardly or never interacted lol), or the very common "it doesn't make sense" excuse. (Because in reality if you actually put your bias views aside it does make sense.)

And to be quite frank, I'm tired of hearing people like you singling Sorato fans out as the only ones who eagerly defend their pairing, expose hints for their OTP (as if nooooooobody else does this), are overly passionate of their ship, and are constantly throwing the canon label around. Because let's be real here, I would ship Sorato even if it wasn't canon. That's how fucking awesome they are ;).

So yes I agree that we should all be able to ship what we want. But there is absolutely no reason to bash a ship because it interferes with an OTP, or to fabricate things to make characters out to be bad because they didn't end up with a different person. This goes for ALL SHIP FANDOMS, not just for Sorato. I see bullshit Sorato hate every day. So as long as I keep seeing Sorato/Sora/Yamato bashing, I'm going to keep fighting for them. If people like you don't like it then maybe you should stop saying stupid shit.

I think it’s strange when Sorato fans complain about “people caring too much about shipping when Digimon is clearly a show about friendship” while they spend a surprising amount of time “exposing” hints for their OTP.
