A Gentlewomon and a Scholar

❤ Icon by the incredible VIDRAMON! ❤ A little bit of this & that, but primarily a Digimon blog, who am I kidding. Major and minor-character supporter, occasional shipper, and self-appointed expert on TK’s hats. It’s hard to type with boxing gloves on.

Introduction/pinned post

Hi there, and welcome to my little corner of the Internet! This is a multi-fandom blog, mostly consisting of reblogs and the occasional original thought (and honestly, most of my life on this website does revolve around Digimon, especially Adventure/02, Frontier, and Appmon).

My icon is by the amazing and talented Vidramon! Check out her awesome art at vidramon.tumblr.com

If you like what you see or want to know what else I’m up to, you might enjoy my other blogs:

@lemon-pear is where most of my art lives, though everything I put there I consider a “sketch” (i.e. a relatively quick doodle or half-formed idea). Occasionally I’ll cross-post these doodles here, but mostly they just live in a world of their own!

@citruscactus-art is more of a portfolio, where I put art that is more polished and the work I’m particularly proud of! I’m more likely to cross-post these things to my main blog.

@harushinkai-daily was active from 2020-2024, delivering a picture of everyone’s favorite Appmon protagonist once per day (and has its own sister blog: @knightunryuuji-daily)!

I’ve also moderated/co-moderated a couple of events for the Digimon fandom here on Tumblr: @golden-digimental-up and @digimonfrontierfest2022. And, as of January 2026, @saverscelebration2026 is a GO for April!

I recommend checking out some of these tags/posts: the cactus speaks, the cactus yells about appmon, my art, and the TK Hat Masterpost.

Thanks for reading!

@the-eyrie-building request!

It took me quite a while but I'm really happy with it.

I really like this vibe and drawing it was extremely fun

I could fix him in my fics but making him worse is so much more fun. #bleeding as enrichment

truly few things instantly put me in a bad mood more than humidity

WHY is the fucking AIR out here TOUCHING ME

I don't particularly care about the World Cup, but someone mentioned to me that in the universe of Digimon Frontier, as the sole Digimon soccer boy who pursued the sport as a career, Takuya could very well be on Team Japan right now.

The fact this isn't a painting is a testament to one of the greatest feats of set design and production I've ever seen.

[thepeelingrenoir]

My god just look at this! The lighting, set design, photography... I've just never seen anything like it.

This is from 1966 and you can see over a hundred photos on the NYPL digital collections website. It is absolutely gorgeous. These are just a few of my favourites.

Unstoppable Force (my love of seeing other people's takes/stylization on my OCs) vs Immovable Object (my gripping fear of not doing other people's OCs enough justice when I draw them)

Here’s the thing: authors know when they get a rec on an older story. There’s a telltale uptick of kudos (with a 10-15% comment rate if you’re lucky) in your digest email.

The thing is, there’s no way to know where these people are coming from. In the before, when fandom was more in the corners we all knew about, you could search LJ or a message board or whatever social bookmarking site we were using. You could join the community and participate.

You could get a little dopamine hit by seeing someone tell their friends why they loved your story.

Anymore, those recs are hidden in discords, or in tiktoks or instagram slideshows that you can’t search for. They’re inaccessible, not discoverable unless you’re already there. You may never know why 27 people left kudos on an old story of yours, what they liked and found in your writing. You just get the thumbs up and a kinda lonely feeling, cause these could be your people. You could like them, maybe. You could be friends.

But you’ll never find out why they stopped by, or what people are saying about you behind your back, and that’s sad.

So thank you to the people who still do public rec lists on this webbed site. You are my sunshine, and I’m appreciative of all of you.

If you are recced a fic and enjoyed it, leave a comment telling the author where you came from! We like to know!

And for the “I just don’t know what to say!” folks, here’s a guide:

[limbel]

we have to thank our brave soldiers in fandom who write gen fics. we have to thank our brave soldiers in fandom who write character studies and stories with no focus on romance or sex. we have to get on our knees and thank the brave soldiers in fandom who write about minor characters and friendship and family with no focus on romance or sex. i know it’s hard to care about characters in a world that seems to only revolve around ships but i see you. and i love you
