The Problem of Harmony in Digimon Survive
“But… if I told everyone how I honestly feel, it would disrupt the harmony, wouldn’t it? The teacher, and everyone in the class too, would be troubled, wouldn’t they?”
Revisiting Survive made me want to expand on my previous writeups about the game’s themes of harmony.
I actually love how Survive basically treats harmony as the problem of how to live with other people without either erasing yourself or erasing others. That’s why I think the game’s idea of harmony is much richer than mere conformity (i.e., getting along or following the rules). It’s also why Shuuji and Aoi are my favorites, with Saki to a lesser extent as well—we’ll be talking about her too, don’t worry—because they matter so much to the game’s broader thesis about harmony as an ideal. They all feel that to have a place in a group, they must fulfill an ideal. In Aoi and Shuuji’s cases, particularly, the ideals are social roles that are considered morally good, yet can be deeply destructive when overidentified with.
apparently never posted survive lines here,
available as linking charms (personal store | etsy )
also taking comms for custom digimon linking charms -- non OC digimon are discounted (and the service is also further on sale rn) so i can add more digimon to the lineup and OC digimon line rates are negotiable (but generally 1.5-2x, maybe less if it's a recolor?)
i'll be taking as many comms as i can before feb 6 because i want to add these to my next charm order but the service will stay up and you can add yourself to the waitlist afterwards
also check out: 01 charms | 02/tamers/dawn-dusk charms
survive scribbles
bring them to the card game…. 🥺
i don't think i posted these here? old digimon survive arts inspired by the digimon adventure VHS box arts
rkgk. I just wanted to draw Kaito and Shuuji wearing sweaters and surprise Takuma and Ryo.
this is a story of survival in a strange new world.

I do have jp translation commissions open too, but since this doesn't get much traffic, I'm reopening art comms again...
Sometimes people get their start in fandom with something like, idk, the MCU or light action shows like Supernatural or children's fantasy like Warriors (this last example said with love), where the writing is an inconsistent mess, characterization can change on a dime, there's no themes stronger than like "family" or "stop the bad guy from changing our way of life". And their fandom experience is taking the hints of interesting ideas presented and dropped and spinning them into something interesting, or just fluffy and fun, and then discarding the rest.
And then these people come to a piece of art that like. Actually has themes and good writing and a coherent vision, but they're still trained on The Giant Trash Heap That Must Be Sorted Through, so they start their routine of excising fun yaoi moments and throwing the rest in the trash, except now the rest is like. A professionally made passion project by a group of skilled writers with a hundred years writing experience between them, and this fan is writing the same coffee shop AUs as ever. And it makes something that feels same-y and fandom out of something unique and well-made and, well, interesting.
And like. That's their prerogative, more power to them, but it makes me wanna pull my hair out to talk to these people about a piece of media I actually care about beyond that Trash Heap level.
And if you're someone whose only fandom experience has been Trash Sorting and you're running into people arguing with you abt their favorite piece of media, give them a second thought I guess?
love and peace, @kingofgoblets. this is a good addition
[ screencapture is of tags that say: #and honestly i still like that stuff. i too was born in the trash. raised by it. #but you gotta know when you're just scrapbooking bits and pieces #versus when you're reading a full rich text thoroughly #there is room in your brain for both i promise #but even on days when you only have scrapbook energy #don't. do NOT. Pick fights with the people doing the intense reading. #if that isn't what you're into today? you're allowed to scroll on #or open a new file and make that coffee shop au. ]

Kia ora! I don't post a whole lot about my art here, but recently I've had the need to open up some art commissions to help recoup the cost of a recent medical emergency for one of my cats.
After getting some advice from some other artist friends, I've put together a lil ko-fi shop and I'd love to draw you stuff (OCs particularly beloved \o/) to help take the sting out of that nasty vet bill. Please check out my ko-fi here -- and even if you're not in the market for any art, sharing this post will really help!
30 Days Digi-Art Challenge | Day 9: Healing
So... I kinda gave up on this one and drew something very different from the image I had in mind because I couldn't figure out how to make it work orz. But I guess it still looks cute, so that's ok I suppose.
Hello! Hope you're doing well! Do you have any tips or methods on writing with the five senses technique?
Writing Notes: Sensory Language
Sensory imagery works by engaging a reader’s five senses.
Some Words to Describe Sight
ancient, angular, animated, arrogant, attractive, awkward, beefy, blotched, bold, broken, bulky, cheap, cluttered, colored, crinkled, curved, delicate, dim, dingy, drab, dramatic, elegant, energetic, exhausted, exotic, feeble, flashy, flat, flimsy, fluffy, flush, formal, frail, frilled, glassy, glossy, glowing, grassy, handsome, hefty, irregular, jammed, lavish, leafy, lively, loose, massive, miniature, muddled, muddy, murky, muscular, opulent, orderly, painted, peaceful, placid, pristine, radiant, ramshackle, regal, rigid, robust, ruffled, shabby, shadowy, shapely, sheer, shimmering, shiny, sickly, slender, sparkling, sparkly, speckled, spotted, sprinkled, stout, stretched, striped, sturdy, sunny, supple, swarming, swollen, tantalizing, tidy, timid, tinted, tranquil, vibrant, vivid, wavy, weightless, weighty, wild, wiry, worn, wrecked, wrinkled
Some Words to Describe Smell
acrid, ambrosial, antiseptic, aromatic, briny, burnt, clean, earthy, fishy, flowery, foul, fragrant, fresh, gamy, gaseous, lemony, minty, moldy, musty, odorous, overpowering, perfumed, piney, piquant, pungent, putrid, rancid, reeking, rotten, scented, sharp, skunky, smoky, spoiled, stagnant, stench, sterile, sweet, tempting, woodsy
Some Words to Describe Sound
Words to describe harsh or loud sounds: If you want to articulate abrupt, piercing, or loud noises, use: beep, bellow, blare, cackle, clack, clang, clank, clink, croak, earsplitting, full blast, grating, high frequency, huff, jarring, rasp, rumble, scrunch, shriek, toot, twang, vibrating, wail, and zap.
Words for soft or subtle sounds: Gentle noises can be challenging to describe. Here are some descriptors to use to evoke quiet noises: breathy, chime, droning, fizz, glug, gurgle, jingle, moan, sizzle, squish, swish, swoosh, tinkle, trill, wheeze, whir, and whoosh.
Animal sounds to describe noises: English language readers often associate these words with animal noises, but you can use them to create imaginative descriptions of other sounds: bleat, bray, chirping, cluck, hoot, howl, meow, neigh, purr, quack, roar, woof, yelp.
Some Words to Describe Taste
acidic, bitter, bittersweet, bland, burnt, buttery, creamy, crisp, fatty, fiery, fishy, flavorful, flavorless, fresh, fruity, greasy, hearty, insipid, juicy, luscious, mild, minty, nauseating, oily, palatable, peppery, pungent, raw, refreshing, rotten, salty, savory, smoky, sour, spicy, spoiled, stinging, sugared, sugary, sweet, syrupy, tangy, tart, vinegary, zesty
Some Words to Describe Touch
arid, balmy, blistering, boiling, breezy, bumpy, burning, chilly, clammy, coarse, cool, crisp, damp, dehydrated, dense, dried, dull, dusty, elastic, feathery, fleshy, fragile, fresh, frosty, fuzzy, gluey, gritty, hairy, heavy, jagged, leathery, lukewarm, mushy, oily, prickly, rubbery, sandy, satiny, scorching, searing, shriveled, shrunken, silky, sizzling, slight, slippery, spiky, steamy, sticky, stifling, stocky, sultry, sweltering, tender, tepid, thick, tough, velvety, waxy
Describing how something tastes, smells, sounds, or feels—not just how it looks—makes a passage or scene come alive.
Using a combination of imagery and sensory imagery arms the reader with as much information as possible and helps them create a more vivid mental picture of what is happening.
Types of Sensory Imagery
A passage of writing can contain imagery that appeals to multiple senses. It is useful to break down sensory imagery by sense.
Visual imagery engages the sense of sight. This is what you can see, and includes visual descriptions. Physical attributes including color, size, shape, lightness and darkness, shadows, and shade are all part of visual imagery.
Gustatory imagery engages the sense of taste. This is what you can taste, and includes flavors. This can include the five basic tastes—sweet, salty, bitter, sour, and umami—as well as the textures and sensations tied to the act of eating.
Tactile imagery engages the sense of touch. This is what you can feel, and includes textures and the many sensations a human being experiences when touching something. Differences in temperature is also a part of tactile imagery.
Auditory imagery engages the sense of hearing. This is the way things sound. Literary devices such as onomatopoeia and alliteration can help create sounds in writing.
Olfactory imagery engages the sense of smell. Scent is one of the most direct triggers of memory and emotion, but can be difficult to write about. Since taste and smell are so closely linked, you’ll sometimes find the same words (such as “sweet”) used to describe both. Simile is common in olfactory imagery, because it allows writers to compare a particular scent to common smells like dirt, grass, manure, or roses.
Kinesthetic imagery (a.k.a kinesthesia) engages the feeling of movement. This can be similar to tactile imagery but deals more with full-body sensations, such as those experienced during exercise. Rushing water, flapping wings, and pounding hearts are all examples of kinesthetic imagery.
Vivid vs. Vague Language
The sensory details you select in your writing should create for your reader the same picture you have in your mind. Instead of using vague, general words, your sensory language should be concrete and sensory-packed. This makes the difference between vivid and vague language.
Examples. Vague — Vivid
The food was unappetizing. — The pale turkey slices floated limply in a pool of murky fat.
The sprinkler was refreshing. — The cool water from the sprinkler sprayed our hot faces.
The candy was sour. — My taste buds recoiled from the sudden tartness, drawing my lips into a pucker.
Examples Using Sensory Details
to see - The tiny caterpillar climbed up the bright green leaf.
to hear - The passengers heard the loud screech of the train’s wheels.
to smell - The sweet aroma of fresh strawberries brought back memories of summer.
to touch - The mud felt slimy and cold between my toes.
to taste - The fresh, tangy lemon drops made my lips pucker.
to feel - In the hot July sun, our shirts felt like wet paper sticking to our backs.
What to Avoid When Using Sensory Detail
Too many adjectives—retain only the most powerful words in your writing, deleting any unnecessary words.
Too many adverbs—verbs are stronger than adverbs. Example: "She strolled into the room" is more powerful than "She walked casually into the room."
Clichéd figures of speech—overused language, such as "green with envy", signals a lack of imagination. Use fresh, descriptive words that go against rote thinking.
Writing Beyond the Five Senses
Expand your sensory writing toolkit by exploring sensations beyond the traditional five senses.
Seeing Emotions: Instead of stating emotions, show them through physical expressions. A happy person might have bright, sparkling eyes, while a sad person's shoulders could slump. Characters may also be able to see each other’s auras.
Kinesthesia: Also known as proprioception, this sense is about feeling a body's movement in space. It's the awareness of limbs' positions and movements, which can be tinkered with in interesting ways (say, within a dream or on a planet with different gravity).
Synesthesia: Experiment with characters who experience multiple senses simultaneously, such as seeing colors when hearing music (sound-to-color synesthesia), and feeling as though they’re being touched when they see another person receiving physical contact (mirror-touch synesthesia).
Muted & Heightened Senses: Explore the dynamics of characters with lost or enhanced senses.
