Is there an official Digimon language reference though beyond what is found on the American D-Terminal that released? The show def has way more symbols than what is there. I assume there is a 1 to 1 kana version that explains why that is the case but I don’t know which ones online are made up by fans and which ones could be the official digimon one.

[digitaldavis]

ok but Willis mom being a massive Bruce Willis fan is just funny headcanon backstory now that will never come up. She’s actually just huge into action films.

[digitaldavis]

Do we think that the reason they changed Wallace, a perfectly normal American child name, to Willis in the English dub of HT is because some rando Japanese man who worked on the film was really obsessed with Bruce Willis action films or what? That’s a joke. I don’t really think that but Willis is a really weird name for an American kid and Wallace is really normal. I mean, Wallace does evoke images of like, a Steve Urkel level stereotype of a 90s nerd character with huge glasses and braces but it’s still really normal.

Also not giving him a last name is criminal and I’ve been forced to give him the most boring American person last name there is just based on it being the most popular for CO which is Smith.

I know NaNoWriMo is cancelled now or whatever but I have been writing anyway. I broke my foot in a freak accident at work a few weeks back and have had nothing but time to work on my dumb Trans!Daiken thriller fic and I’ve just embraced all the cliches and Willis needs a last name so Smith it is for now.

Finally bought this. Excited to rewatch it.

So what’s everyone’s favorite Daisuke/Davis quote?

just curious.

Quick update:

Sorry I've been absent, digi-friends~ I've been having some health issues for awhile but I've started medication to hopefully get it sorted out. I should know around mid-July if it's working as I should start feeling better, hopefully.

Also, I got a new job that is significantly better than my previous job in (almost) all ways and will hopefully massively improve my living situation. I'll hopefully start work soon and I can get into a new routine that will be better for my health as well.

Once everything has settled down I'll hopefully be back here regularly and I can finally work on what we all really care about which is thinking up and writing new digimon fic.

See you all soon~

I love Digimon, I say as I sit here writing fic that contains absolutely no Digimon because I struggle with conceptualizing them and their interactions in stories. The guilt is real.

[digitaldavis]

We did it, digifools! お疲れ様でした!

[digitaldavis]

My laptop charger came in but I don’t get to enjoy it because I’ve had to go to work.

I was also going to make a poll about which digimon adventue character would try and freak everyone out with a prank or telling just the most horrific scary story at camp and my initial thought was Matt would do it but then I remembered, actually it’s Tai. Tai would try to scare all the younger kids and Joe and Mimi and Matt would actually just be pissed about it.

also that digimon poll where we all universally agreed Joe would die first in the horror movie. I thought way too much about that after I saw it and made a whole fic scenario for it of who would die when and why. Will share later maybe.

[digitaldavis]

Found a new prompt generator and thought I'd give it a whirl and see what it came up with for the boys. It's like it follows my blog or something.

(also, I ordered my new laptop charger and it'll be here today, hopefully)

It is 5:00 AM and I am awake having thoughts about a Daikenyako fic where Yolei asks Ken out and Ken is surprised because he did not think she still had feelings for him after all this time and Davis and he are kind of in love but they haven’t talked about it even though they both know. Ken tells Yolei he needs to think about it and goes to Davis and is like “Yolei asked me out.” And Davis is immediately like “Wow so are you gonna go out with her?” trying to be a good friend.

At which point Ken is confused and surprised because t h e y b o t h k n o w and says something like “You want me to? You’d be okay with that?” at which point Davis thinks Ken means because Davis has feelings for Yolei and later Davis talks to Yolei who probably called to freak out about asking Ken out and how he hadn’t said yes or no yet and Davis tells her he thinks Ken was worried Davis would be upset. Yolei makes a joke about them being married and Ken needing Davis’ permission to see someone else. Davis tries to change the subject by making light of Ken’s worry about his feelings for Yolei by denying he has ever had any.*

Yolei confesses to having had feelings for Davis’ probably since MaloMyotismon days and then registers what Davis said and is immediately offended Davis doesn’t have even a little crush on her - how dare he? Yolei would be a great girlfriend!

This absolutely devolves into an argument about the merits of dating one another and Ken gets dragged into it and they all slowly realize they like each other and should date. OR in an extreme version this culminates in them going on literal dates to prove they would be great significant others to one another and Ken is just there like “Um?? So I guess we are all dating now?” after like the third or fourth time they all end up “hanging out” on his or Davis couch somehow having a date night.

*also this probably takes place in the version of reality in which Davis is Ace and spent waaaaaay too much time in his youth overcompensating and fixating on having feelings for Kari. I like to think maybe it was Yolei who helped him come to terms with it all and that is when Davis first developed feelings for her.

Trying to write this lengthy small town thriller Daiken fic has really made me think about my own writing style. It really lends itself well to short, choppy, poetic prose and trying to write chapter after chapter of a long narrative driven fic is so hard.

A couple of random writing snippets from this fic:

In what would come to be considered Daisuke’s first real act of rebellion against the world’s plan for him, Daisuke emerged suddenly in a burst of blood and amniotic fluid at precisely 12:03 AM in the front room of an old, dingy ramen shop a good half an hour away from the nearest hospital. He was surrounded not by the familiar warmth of family and loved ones but by an irate ramen chef, a handful of panicked customers, and the smell of braised pork and steamed gyoza.

--

Though the night air was still, the trees creaked and swayed ominously - their long, arm-like branches seeming to reach out of the darkness with gnarled bone-white fingers to grasp at Daisuke's exposed skin and loose fitting clothes as he moved deeper into the forest.

--

Also there is this sailing boat metaphor for Daisuke being AFAB/trans that I can't let go of and it's driving me insane because I think it could be really good but I can't get it quite right and everything is too poetic and it makes it kind of hard to write normal character interactions when my prose is like:

And then, two weeks before she was to be married, Misaki tipped the boat. No, that wasn’t quite right. It was Daisuke that tipped the boat - or rather, he chose to ram it full speed into unknown waters and was left to cling to the driftwood that remained when the boat Misaki had sailed in since the day she was born smashed, inevitably, violently, against the rocks.

PSA: I have an open policy on any headcanons/thoughts/plot ideas I post here.

Unless I say I’m actively writing it, feel free to take it for inspiration and run with it if you want. It would be nice, though, if you @ me with any works you create inspired by any of my posts though so I can enjoy them and share them with everyone else as well~

@impdotexe and anyone else who might be interested in using anything I post here for info, feel free (or don’t. No pressure).

This was gonna be for @campdigimonth but I forgot to sign up before the deadline (the holidays were really stressful okay?) so here are some personal and creative goals for the year instead.

[digitaldavis]

I really envy those people who write so much that they know exactly how long the fic they're writing needs to be to tell the story they want to tell and I'm really struggling not to hard outline every single thing that happens in the fic - I need to leave room for the fic to grow but my a-spec brain says I must have all the information first and it is bothering me that I don't.

And my friend tells me the fic can't just be one major plot point after another so now there are massive gaps in my completed outline due to chapters I inserted for "pacing" reasons that are going to end up just being filler focused on the lives of everyone in the fic which I'm sure everyone is going to just hate.

Davis and Ken might have to go on more than one date and I might have to give a couple of character's a "day in the life" chapter of their own. Admittedly, having a chapter from Tai or Cody or Kari's POV (or even Michael or Ken's) would be really interesting and would add to the overall plot but I wasn't planning on writing from multiple POVs when I imagined writing this fic.

[digitaldavis]

Does anyone have ideas on a last name suggestions for Willis or know if he has a canonical last name that maybe I just can't find? I want to include him in this fic I am writing and it's weird for him to not have a last name.

Also I've realized as I write this that my names in this fic are all over the place. I've been using certain character's Japanese names including Daisuke but I've been using other people's English names like Yolei and Cody. I'll have to fix this at some point either by picking one or being like "anyway everyone has American nicknames" like in the Manga.

[digitaldavis]

This fic I'm writing is Daisuke/Ken but Michael/Daisuke has become an unexpected plot point of the opening of this fic that I did not see coming but, honestly, it's better than what I was originally planning and I'm excited about how it might effect the plot in small ways.
