🎶 you’re listening to digidestined fm…

[earlgreymon]

remember my digidestined music headcanon? i mentioned that mimi and takeru once had their rendition of taylor swift’s lover (ft. shawn mendes) and yamato’s getting all jealous because it got more views, so i did this.

this should be a mimato post, but idk how i ended up with takemimi lol sorry mimato fans.

a little headcanon: mimi has her own youtube channel. her contents are either music cover, cooking with her, or just a simple lifestyle vlog. and yes, koushiro’s the editor of all her videos. (at least until he got so busy and she got so impatient that she forced him to give her a crash course)

[earlgreymon]

koukari headcanons

＊ yes, koushiro came over to the yagami’s residence pretty often to play with taichi. although initially he was so shy, he then became the second son for being so close to all family members. he helped susumu to fix his computer whenever the man encountered a problem, he assisted yuuko with her weird experiments on the kitchen, and considerately asked hikari to join him and taichi to play (except if taichi didn’t want his lil sis to be involved in “the boys game”). even miko the cat started to grow fond of koushiro.

＊ on the contrary, every time taichi and hikari’s parents were going out, they would always drop the kids to izumi’s residence and ask for koushiro’s mother to look after them. hikari used to stare at the books collection inside koushiro’s room before she started to read them one by one. she never managed to read them all, of course, but she learned a lot.

＊ there was that one time when taichi had an important soccer practice so he dropped hikari to koushiro’s house, and it happened that his parents weren’t at home too so there were only the two of them. it was kind of awkward at first, but when they found out that kae forgot to prepare some meal, they teamed up to cook pancakes together. they were nervous about flipping the pan as they were afraid that the cake would slip away.

＊ they accidentally kissed when koushiro was on stand by in front of the computer and the younger kids came out from the screen as they got back from the digital world. hikari landed above koushiro and their lips met even just in a slight brush. however, they never really mentioned it after; koushiro was too shy, while hikari was trying to be oblivious and not making it a big deal as it was a coincidence.

＊   hikari always sent koushiro the picture of digimons they encountered from her camera. this helped koushiro to expand his data about digital world and to make an analysis of the digimons.

＊ hikari also created a photoblog and asked koushiro’s help to build the website for her, although she did the maintenance by herself. she sent him a chat if she encountered an error, but then the chats grew into small talks.

＊ koushiro regularly checked on hikari’s condition as he knew that she was seriously ill once.

＊ if taichi’s “missing”, hikari would always contact koushiro first, because she believed that taichi saw koushiro more often compared to yamato, as koushiro was his childhood friend.

＊ the hoi brothers once invited them back to hongkong and taichi—being a siscomp as always—was frantic because he couldn’t tag along. he, however, trusted koushiro to take care of hikari and seemed doing a pretty good job; even hikari was comfortable to fall asleep in his shoulder during the plane ride.

＊ they came back and gave each of their friends a very personalized gift depends on their likings—for example, a jade bracelet for mimi (yeah, remember the green bangles on mimi’s wrist in kizuna? they’re from koushiro and hikari) and mandarin hat for takeru (it was a joke—they actually bought a snapback too for him)

___

more than friends,

＊ hikari was the one who made the first move. koushiro was in the final year of high school, hikari was a freshman. on valentine’s day, koushiro got giri-choco (obligatory chocolates) from all girls in computer club (including miyako), and from sora, mimi, and hikari. koushiro ate the one from hikari during the club session, and miyako was there. she noticed that while daisuke, ken, iori, and takeru got ordinary handmade chocolates, koushiro got a matcha flavored one. excited, miyako was trying quite hard to convince her oblivious senpai that it might be a honmei-choco.

＊ they were so guarded in their first date at the zoo; it was as if they didn’t know each other for a long time. they managed to break the ice during the aquatic mammals show where they got splashed so they had to buy a new pair of t-shirts in the souvenir store. they happened to pick the same one—a panda-themed t-shirt—and they laughed about it. they went to see the giant bear and unconsciously gaped in unison because it was their first time to see a panda.

＊ their friends (especially mimi, miyako, and daisuke) were trying so hard to tail them on their first date. as a matter of fact, everyone was kind of surprised when they found out koushiro and hikari became a thing—everyone but taichi. unexpectedly, instead of getting fussy with his siscomp, taichi was quite relaxed. probably because he knew that koushiro was a capable man.

＊ as they were both not really cut out for sports, they usually went for a bike together (refer to hikari and her bike in 02 and tri, and koushiro’s taking his bike to a bookstore in 01). it wasn’t really a workout; more like a casual biking session, but they would always try to go as far as possible. this is also hikari’s way to keep koushiro’s in shape and for him to explore new places, using the excuse that she wanted to collect photos from different areas.

＊ their favorite kind of date: pet shop and tea houses. koushiro was a fan of oolong tea, but hikari made him trying different types of tea, be it an original or blended, for each of their dates. hikari always took a picture of the tea and had a special scrapbook where she pasted all the photos with the tea name. there were nearly fifty types now.

＊ at one point, they managed to walk while holding each other’s hands without being shy anymore. however, they never did anything beyond that—even a kiss on the lips was only one or two times. keeping their relationship pure before tying the knot was a sort of projection of their “insecurities”. in their humble opinion, if they became so intimate and unfortunately ended the relationship at some point, it would be awkward for them to stay as friends.

＊ but do you think their relationship would end? ;)

i blame @digidigi-monmon​ and her headcanon for making me think about this even when i was sleeping last night.

a bonus because i can’t help it as always:

kae’s trusting her future daughter-in-law.

digidestined as camp half-blood’s demigod

if you found my previous blogpost about pjo series coming to disney+ got me thinking about digidestined as demigods, well here it is.

since this is a long post, this series will come up in two posts probably: the first being this post that explains the backstory of the kids and how they get claimed, while the second one will list down all of my trivias/headcanons related to their life on camp.

since i didn’t really follow heroes of olympus, i do not write them as children minor gods/goddesses because i’m not really familiar with the traits (and yes, i also don’t include the big three because... that’s the rule, right?). please also note that this is my headcanon; you are free to have different opinions about it. but let me know your thoughts and ideas!

many thanks to @ashandpikachu​ for your ideas!! (and also @sorasfishing​ for the support!)

orders below based on who was claimed first. [!!!] warning: very long post

___

taichi yagami – son of hermes

background: taichi was the son of yuuko. not only he held grudges against his unknown father for abandoning him, but he also despised susumu whom his mother was married to. that summer, taichi insisted to stay at home instead of going to susumu’s childhood home in the countryside to spend the summer vacation along with yuuko and his “step-sister”, hikari.

taichi was playing with koushiro, his junior and neighbor, when they encountered a monster who was trying to kill them both. a satyr then came to the rescue, telling taichi and koushiro that they were demigods and they had to go to camp half-blood. a troublemaker by nature, taichi immediately involved in a feud with a boy named yamato on his very first day, which later would turn to a very strong love-hate relationship.

the camp amazed him so much that he didn’t really think about his immortal parent. however, he was the one to be claimed first among the other children who entered the camp in the same summer as him. hermes claimed him on capture the flag, and while others congratulated him, he went berserk. he thought his father was a coward for not seeing him directly. later, it was sora who helped him to get back on track. she guided him to accept that gods couldn’t just go around meeting their kids, made him realize that his father loved him in his own way, and he should be grateful that at least hermes acknowledged him.

why: taichi is an adventurous yet laid-back person, which is similar with hermes. not to mention that he’s an athlete and hermes is the god of sport.

yamato ishida – son of apollo

background: yamato was the eldest son of natsuko. however, instead of living together with his mother and his younger brother takeru, yamato was forced to live in a rural together with his grandparents since natsuko was being advised by her immortal lovers not to put her children under the same roof. although yamato seemed cool about it, he never really understood why and sad by the fact that he had to be separated with takeru.

yamato only met takeru on holiday, and that summer vacation, a monster finally managed to hunt them down. fortunately, a satyr appeared and brought them to camp half-blood before it was too late. he was instantly irked with taichi’s mischievous attitude and nearly got into a fight if chiron didn’t stopped them.

but of course, the fight continued on the other day. at one time, it went so bad that koushiro, jyou, and takeru had to jump in. taichi unintentionally hit takeru, and yamato was very furious he swore he would kill taichi at instance. and that’s where apollo claimed him and his brother, and the gleeful squeal from takeru managed to stop the fist from flying around.

why: pretty self-explanatory; apollo’s the god of music while yamato plays instruments. if we look at pjo universe, apollo is noted to be one of the hottest and most popular gods, and yamato indeed has the same aura.

takaishi takeru – son of apollo

background: although takeru lived in the city with his mother, he mostly spent his time alone with storybooks since natsuko was a very busy journalist. he often wondered if only his beloved older brother lived with him….

on his journey together with his elder brother to the camp, the monster almost got them, but a satyr managed to save them. however, the satyr was killed along the way. it made little takeru very shock and sad, he cried so much after they arrived.

takeru became the youngest demigod to be admitted that summer, yet he was claimed just before they wrapped up the season on his first year together with yamato.

why: because i cannot imagine separating the siblings. i think with his literary skill and a warm personality, takeru is also fitted to be apollo’s son anyway.

koushiro izumi – son of hephaestus

background: koushiro was an adopted child. he never knew anything about his parents since he was left in the orphanage without any information, other than his first name and birth date that indicated it was only his second day on earth. he already acknowledged that he was not related by blood to the izumi’s, but nevertheless, he grew up to be such a smart kid that his parents were proud of. he was fond of computer and robotics; he could build simple robots like the one that helped his mother making a batch of onigiri.

he was hanging out with taichi when he found out that he was a demigod. since he didn’t have any idea whether his immortal parent was a god or a goddess, he always guessed that he was the son of athena, which taichi agreed to. however, it turned out to be a wrong one when they had the start-of-summer feast on their second year (similar to start-of-term feast on hogwartsverse). hephaestus claimed him in the middle of his eating.

why: i know that at a glance, koushiro is surely a son of athena with his brilliant brain. but i want to have a representative for each cabin, and i think koushiro can be a son of hephaestus with his ability on mechanical stuffs.

hikari yagami – daughter of hermes

background: in the summer when taichi went to the camp, hikari was with her parents in the countryside.

the following year, after taichi departed for his second summer on the camp, hikari was chased by a monster. although a satyr managed to bring her to the camp, she was badly injured. her life was barely hanging on a thread when she arrived at the start-of-summer feast—shortly after koushiro was claimed—which caused an uproar among the campers.

taichi was flabbergasted. he never knew that his “step-sister” was also a demigod, because from what he remembered, hikari was born not long after yuuko married susumu. seeing her in a very terrible condition, taichi couldn’t help but panic. after all, even though he hated susumu, he could never hate hikari from the start.

that night, taichi fell asleep while accompanying hikari beside her bed in the infirmary. in his dream, hermes came to him and telling him how much he was proud of him. hermes then glanced at hikari, smiling. when he touched her forehead, all of her wounds are clearing up and she slowly stopped to tremble. before bidding his goodbye, hermes said to taichi: “she will get better. now you don’t have to be alone and we will always be together…”

when taichi opened his eyes, there was a caduceus glowing above sleeping hikari—a sign that she was claimed by hermes. up until now, he was never exactly sure whether it was only a dream or not.

why: because i cannot imagine separating the siblings [2]. yes hikari was quite weak and there’s no proof that she’s good at sport. but hermes is the patron of travelers, and cabin eleven was a refuge for unclaimed demigods. i think this, in any way, can be associated with hikari’s kindness. giving shelter to the homeless… isn’t hospitality sound hikari-ish?

mimi tachikawa – daughter of demeter

background: mimi was the daughter of a successful businessman. her father spoiled her so much and showered her with things that she loves. the newest barbie? got it! fashionable clothes? added to the cart! pink cellphone? why not!

the phone didn’t last long though; thanks to the cellular, she got tracked by a monster and dragged down by a satyr to the camp. initially, she hated the idea of being in the camp (“it’s so packed!”) and how she would spend the rest of her life being chased by monsters. she was known to be so vocal with her thoughts, and that’s why there were a lot of campers who despise her even though there were also those who admired her so much due to her natural charm. sora was her best friend, as she accepted her just as she was.

with her beauty, a lot of people thought that she was a daughter of aphrodite, but demeter claimed her on her second summer in the camp.

why: looking at the strong-willed persephone (another demeter’s daughter), mimi would definitely fit as the inhibitor of cabin four. children of demeter also have natural talent to cook, and so does mimi!

jyou kido – son of athena

background: jyou was the son of a doctor who then got married to a woman because he was struggling to raise a kid by himself. jyou’s father was a complicated man to begin with. even jyou was closer to his stepmother and his two step brothers.

he was the oldest camper to be accepted that summer, but he was quite timid compare to the younger ones. on every capture the flag game, he would always stay behind and became the medical team instead. and despite his age, he wasn’t claimed as fast as others, and that made him sad. he thought that his mother didn’t want to claim a weakling like him.

on his third summer, a son of ares made fun of him in the capture the flag and he got so mad that he fired up. in the middle of that tight fight, a light with aegis symbol appeared. athena had just claimed him—proudly.

why: jyou is very smart and reliable! also, if we look at adventure, probably because he was the oldest, jyou was quite a strategist, so i think he would make a good son of war strategist.

sora takenouchi – daughter of aphrodite

background: sora was the daughter of a professor named haruhiko. haruhiko then got married to toshiko who became sora’s stepmother. sora’s relationship with her mother was not good. she always thought that toshiko was a meanie who would never understand her.

sora went to the same school and lived in the same neighborhood as taichi and koushiro. she actually passed the two of them while they were running from the monster. when she was about to curiously followed them, another monster came and chased her on her own. she got into the half-blood hill with the help of a satyr, and that’s where she finally met taichi and koushiro. the three of them reached the camp together.

her best friend was mimi. they initially thought that sora was the daughter of demeter and mimi was the daughter of aphrodite. when demeter claimed mimi in front of sora’s eyes, mimi got so happy because she thought that they would become sisters, but if it was true, the fact that demeter didn’t claim her the same time as mimi when she also stood there made her sad.

just like jyou, she was also insecure about her immortal parent. they discussed a lot about it, but when jyou got claimed first, she became so disappointed on herself. she stayed out of the crowds often, and it was taichi who caught her sitting alone on the beach that night. they had a deep talk while she was sobbing. she told him that she felt unloved before taichi comforted her; returning every word she said to him when he went nuts after he got claimed.

there was a light between them, then—a sign of claiming. aphrodite was claiming her. the overjoy rushed through her body that she unconsciously hugged taichi that left both of them blushing.

why: sora has this piper mclean trope; a boyish girl far from aphrodite stereotype. as she is also the bearer of crest of love, aphrodite suits her perfectly. (also, yes, when she got claimed, aphrodite’s watching from olympus and said, “oooh, i like this lovey-dovey moment!” lol)

daisuke motomiya – son of dionysus

background: daisuke’s mother got pregnant with daisuke shortly after her husband passed away, so daisuke and his sister, jun, always thought that daisuke was the son of their father anyway. well, he actually wasn’t.

daisuke got to the camp on the same year with miyako, iori, and ken, when taichi entered his fourth summer. daisuke instantly idolized taichi, saw him as a brother figure. looking at their resemblance, he was sure that he was the son of hermes. after his first capture the flag which his team won, mr. d—the camp director—went to see him and the rest of the team. daisuke was being praised by taichi and mr. d looked at them, irked of their closeness. he then said, “i don’t want you to be so close with this chicken ass hair, so move to cabin twelve, boy. you’re not his brother and will never be.” it left him in an awkward shock.

why: daisuke is probably more hermes if you compare to taichi (idk?), but again, i tried to have a representative for each cabin. dionysus was witty, and daisuke surely has his own way when he’s talking. dionysus is also the god of party and madness, while daisuke is surely as chaotic as him.

miyako inoue – daughter of hephaestus

background: neither did anyone knew that miyako was a product of an affair of her mother, even miyako herself. she just realized this when she got to the camp together with iori and being told that she had an immortal parent.

she swallowed the fact for the whole summer, trying to enjoy the camp as much as she could. she went to every class, made friends, admired mimi and koushiro as her seniors, and—of course—fell for ken with his coolness. she never really cared about who her parent was, but then claimed by hephaestus at her second year.

when she got back home on her first summer, she finally talked to her mother, where she confirmed the news that indeed her mother’s husband wasn’t miyako’s real father. her mother told her a story about how they almost got divorced due to miyako’s presence, but eventually made up. knowing that she caused trouble in her family, she was actually disappointed in herself. things got awkward with between her family, especially with her step-father—who actually seemed quite chill with her despite the fact—and her siblings—who were completely oblivious. that’s why miyako always loved going to the camp to avoid the tension she actually created herself.

why: miyako is actually a perfect daughter of athena, but she’s also similar to koushiro with her tech skill, thus she went to cabin nine. i think koushiro and miyako are perfect as siblings!

ken ichijouji – son of athena

background: ken was the son of a man who lost his wife and first son on an accident before. he always blamed himself for the accident and often dwelled on the memory that he sometimes forgot ken existed.

ken was the luke castellan of this universe. he was brainwashed by cronos before he got into the camp. while he charmed everyone with his talents, he also secretly planned to set cronos and his troops free, but when he managed to complete his task on his third summer, he was betrayed by cronos. the titan said, “thank you for your service, son of athena, but i had enough of using your brain,” which indirectly made ken “claimed.”

he regained his consciousness at the battle and eventually helped the camp to beat cronos. after it all ended, athena went to see him in private. they both apologized to each other; ken for causing such a huge trouble, and athena for letting her son controlled by cronos and unable to do anything to stop. athena told him that she would always be proud of ken, and to show it, ken got his claiming light when he walked back to his friends so that they properly knew he was the son of athena. he apologized to the entire camp after, and although it was hard to get their trust back, daisuke—his best friend—supported him to get through.

why: i think this is also pretty self-explanatory. ken is a master of everything, and with his knowledge, he can beat anyone he wants with his neat strategy. and somehow i made all children of athena have blue hair lol.

iori hida – son of ares

background: iori lived with his mother and grandfather who taught him kendo. he was taken to the camp together with miyako, his neighbor.

iori was the youngest camper that summer—just like takeru on his batch. he was different from young takeru, though, considering he was very mature. he was also known as one of the most polite campers, but there was one person he could never really get friendly with: ken ichijouji. he felt like that person hid something.

his hunch was proven to be correct in his third year, when ken almost destroyed the world with cronos. he went to the battle with other campers, but somehow ended up in a direct battle with the man himself. as ken confronted him, iori’s hatred toward ken got stronger that his rage finally unleashed. he struck ken with all his might, using a power so strong than he ever felt before. he almost beat him to death if daisuke didn’t come to stop him. when daisuke pulled him back and iori realized what he just did to ken, he was in awe, wondering how could he do that. the answer came instantly; ares claimed him, making him acknowledged as the son of the strongest god. with the power from his immortal father, iori was also one of the key heroes who defeat cronos.

why: surprise, surprise!! i think no one will see iori as the son of ares, considering children of ares are usually a troublemaker and very provoking, while he is quite docile. it’s not kendo that made me thought of him this way. i think it’s more because of his fighting spirit.

digidestined as camp half-blood’s demigod: headcanons

⚔️ you can read the previous post first to have a better understanding about this universe. these are all for now, but maybe in the future i can always add more (probably write a fic about it?) and i’m open to your suggestion! also, excuse the messy order since my head was all over the place lol.

camp half-blood  © rick riordan

___

— mr. d (dionysus), the camp director, hates taichi. especially because in his first year, taichi accidentally smashed the volleyball too hard and broke the window of mr. d’s room in big house.

— besides volley court, taichi’s favorite spot is the lava-climbing wall where he usually competes with sora.

— koushiro developed a safe connection for demigods to communicate with each other using mobile phone. after miyako came and be claimed, they created an app for demigods not only for them to make a phone call, but also chat and others.

— historically speaking, pan and apollo are not really in a good relationship. but takeru is very friendly to the satyrs (which are pan’s loyal followers) that it is their guilty pleasure to hang out with takeru.

— the satyrs often ask takeru to play flute for them, but takeru don’t really play instruments. when takeru told them to come to yamato, they said that they prefer takeru rather than yamato because yamato seems scary. (lol)

— takeru doesn’t want to see them upset, so he asks yamato to teach him how to play wind instruments. (aww)

— jyou once fell into the canoe lake and wasn’t able to swim to the shore because his foot got stuck in a pondweed. the naiad came to the rescue and somehow, they thought that jyou’s a charming guy. he became popular among the naiads ever since.

— yamato once had a crush on sora after she helped him on their first capture the flag, but after he found out that she obviously likes taichi (which wasn’t obvious enough for taichi himself because he’s so insensitive), he decided to forget about it. although no one really knew about it, takeru realized how his elder brother played more mellow tunes after.

— on their fourth year, taichi, sora, yamato, mimi, koushiro, and jyou are appointed as the counselor of their respective cabin. let’s just say the counselor meeting is getting merrier ever since.

— and ever since his appointment, taichi always pulls a prank to the newcomers. although hikari cannot stop his brother’s antique, she will always help to clean up the mess after.

— although takeru is not really into musics as much as his brother, he’s extremely good at archery. he teaches hikari about it, which makes them closer, and later on, hikari becomes as good as him. they are dubbed as the camp’s “twin hunter”, inspired by apollo and artemis. this fact irritates taichi a bit because he doesn’t want hikari to become an artemis hunter and afraid that this can affect her decision later in the future.

— miyako developed a huge crush on ken when they just entered the camp. she showed no mercy though when ken turned against the whole camp. (although yes, she starts to like him again after the whole things have been resolved and won’t stop pestering daisuke to help her…)

— jyou’s the one who mostly takes care of the camp’s shop. mimi usually helps him (or disturb him…) hence they’re getting so close. miyako and iori also help later on. taichi’s the one who usually steals, as he is the son of hermes after all.

— after mimi got claimed, she started to handcraft a lot of things from flowers and sold it on the camp stores (after all, she’s the daughter of a businessman, right?). potpourri, soap, jewelry, you name it. sora also helped her sometimes.

— recently, yamato thought of gifting something to his mother for her birthday, so he went to the camp store. he saw mimi’s handcraft and pondered for quite a time that mimi finally caught him. mimi ended up helping yamato to create a personal flower tea for her mother, but in return yamato had to give mimi one of his grandmother’s recipes, which was a famous local dish from his hometown. they both got close ever since ;)

— mimi also opens a pop-up café together with other demeter’s children every summer for a week (the idea came up after she was appointed as counselor), where they would all cook different menus each year. this is refreshing since demigods usually eat only the things that wood nymphs serve on dining pavilion.

— takeru also notice the change of yamato’s music after he gets close to mimi. “your music sounds like love songs,” he said. yamato was flustered.

— how taichi finally asked sora out: he asked mimi’s advice, and she said that he should do it like “this classic movie” where the boy raised a boombox in front of his crush’s house. taichi then asked yamato for a song suggestion, and although yamato was pissed off, he ended up giving him a song anyway just so that taichi wouldn’t bother him. when he did that, sora was so embarrassed, but she finally cracked a laugh when daisuke who lived on cabin twelve (next to cabin ten) popped up from his door and screamed, “SHUT THE HELL UP!” when he found out that it was taichi who made the noise, taichi gave him a death glare and daisuke was extremely afraid that he just made his respected senior mad at him…

— long short story, taichi and sora go out anyway, so daisuke’s safe.

digidestined as midnight diner regulars

When people finish their day and hurry home, my day starts. My diner is open from midnight to seven in the morning. They call it "Midnight Diner." That's all I have on the menu. But I make whatever customers request as long as I have ingredients for it. That's my policy. Do I even have customers? More than you would expect.

(in which gennai owns a midnight diner and digidestineds are the regulars.)

___

taichi: taichi is a salaryman who once had a dream of changing the world—but then the dream slowly vanished as he grew up and realize there’s no place for the optimist in the real world. he usually goes to the diner with yamato after work to have some talks with beers. although most of the time he will tell a lot of jokes, he can be a pain in the ass (at least for yamato) when he’s drunk because taichi will turn into some sort of social justice warrior and blabbers about the current political issue while singing off-key at the same time.

🥩 favorite menu: hayashi rice; but sometimes on colder days, he likes to have rolled cabbage with a warm tomato broth. this big guy loves his beef.

-

yamato: on weekdays, yamato is an engineer working in a company, but at weekends, he often helps a local garage to fix some cars. as he is passionate about music, he also makes recordings that are being sent to some labels. no one has responded, though. often he takes care of taichi, but there are times where he is also as drunk as his best friend.

🍛 favorite menu: tuna with extra chopped wasabi on top, sometimes curry ramen if he needs more carbs. yes, he likes spicy food…

-

sora: sora helps her family to run an ikebana school, which she will inherit someday. but her true passion is fashion designing, so she often comes with a sketchbook in hand. with a very certain future, sora doesn’t have the opportunity to pursue her dream, so one day, gennai allows her to use the diner for a small fashion show with all clothes of her creation. mimi, miyako, and hikari become the models while the boys are cheering loudly.

🍵 favorite menu: ochazuke with umeboshi (pickled plum). you know something’s wrong with her if she orders a glass of alcohol.

-

koushiro: koushiro is trying to create a startup, so he always comes with his laptop. the only reason why he comes to the diner is so that there will be someone to remind him to eat, as he lives alone and often forget his meal. he always sits on the inner chair, away from crowds so he can concentrate, but taichi has been encouraging him to be involved in the talks lately, so he starts to close his laptop and socialize more.

🍢 favorite menu: any yakitori available, as he can only eat something practical for being so busy. he never misses his oolong tea, though.

-

mimi: mimi is a newcomer artist that are still paving her way to the stardom. she graduated from a performing art school in new york and likes sweets, so the first time she came to the diner, she asked for a french toast, but gennai had never heard of it before. she then asked for california roll, but again gennai didn’t have the knowledge of fusion sushi roll. she almost stepped out if she didn’t catch a glance of someone’s tuna mayo onigiri and instantly felt nostalgic with her childhood.

🍞 favorite menu: french toast; she made gennai learned about it, even sometimes carries her own bread. there are days where she can’t eat carbs (which means she cannot eat tuna mayo onigiri also), so she usually orders tuna tataki.

-

jyou: jyou is a (soon) doctor, currently finishing his last year of internship. the diner is close to the hospital he’s working at, so sometimes he drops by to have a “nutritional improvement” because the hospital’s catering is so bland. he doesn’t come very often though as he is very busy, but once he was so depressed that he got very intoxicated and started to yell around. someone had to carry him home.

🐟 favorite menu: grilled mackerel. he ever came with oysters from his family in hiroshima, so he asked gennai to cook kaki dotenabe.

-

takeru: takeru just got a job in a publishing house as an editor, but his dream is to have his own novel, so you either see him carrying a pile of papers—manuscripts that need to be examined—or a notebook to pour up the idea of his current work-in-progress. he often stays from midnight and won’t come home until the closing time because he’s afraid he’s going to fall asleep if he comes home.

🦀 favorite menu: creamy crab croquette (of course with crabstick, not the real, expensive crabmeat…)

-

hikari: hikari works at daycare, so she always stops early morning to have her breakfast. and by early, it means really early—even the sun hasn’t risen yet. she is also working on her portfolio blog where she puts all her photographs. her favorite object is sunrise and morning skies, hence explains why she becomes an early bird. she said there’s a perfect spot near the diner where she can capture sunrise perfectly.

🍳 favorite menu: potato salad and a simple tamagoyaki. she usually brings her own fruit too.

-

daisuke: daisuke is another salaryman who happens to be taichi’s junior back then in soccer club along with ken. he has a dream of having his own ramen cart, but struggling with the fund and still trying to perfect his recipe. gennai has the best ramen around, so he’s trying to get his recipe, but gennai doesn’t want to reveal it. they agree that daisuke can guess an ingredient each day and gennai can only say yes or no. so far, daisuke’s still missing two ingredients. he usually came to meet ken or just having beers with his senpai.

🍜 favorite menu: do you really need to ask?

-

miyako: miyako works as a freelancer for any type of job. she also helps her parents run the convenient store. she is currently collecting money so that she can apply for a master study. she’s the biggest gossiper in the diner along with mimi, whom she adores so much. she thinks mimi is a role model. also, don’t put her on the same drunk situation with daisuke because there will be so much noise… although not in a negative way…

🐠 favorite menu: salmon in foil. in autumn, she also often requests for a grilled sweet potato.

-

iori: iori is a newspaper scholarship student (a work-study program for students who receive a scholarship for agreeing to deliver the newspaper) so he only came for breakfast after delivering the newspaper in the morning. he is trying so hard to stay in law school and pass the bar exam later, hence he needs extra money to get into special cram school too. he usually doesn’t talk too much, but there was one morning where he felt everything was too much so he cried. they never really talk about it later.

🥬 favorite menu: agedashi tofu and warm mushroom salad

-

ken: ken is a junior police officer that recently graduated from the academy and currently being assigned to a station around the diner. he often comes after his shift to meet with daisuke, but always reluctant to have a drink because he finds it weird for a police officer to get intoxicated in public (even though he’s off duty…)

🌯 favorite menu: white stew or harumaki

i was scrolling through my phone’s notes and i found this. i know that this was something i planned for a fanfic of mine (in indonesian language). as a sort of reference with his future literary-related job, takeru saved digidestined’s number with the name of famous characters from classic literature.

hikari is tinkerbell because she always follows peter pan, which is taichi.

this is actually a sorato fic (only for the beginning...) and i remember that they had an on-and-off relationship, so i guess that’s why takeru uses red riding hood and big bad wolf; other than the fact that sora’s a redhead and yamato’s a ferocious lonewolf takeru’s just being a tease to yamato. i think there’s a more philosophical reason for this but i completely forget lol.

and haven’t made the names for others! feel free if you want to fill in ;)

i listened to spice girls too much during quarantine and i just thought about digigirls while repeating 2 become 1 all over again.

hikari is definitely a baby spice.

mimi is posh spice, with a posh boyfriend husband of course.

miyako will be a scary spice because she could even scare her own future-husband. (remember the slap?!)

sora can be the ginger spice and sporty spice altogether, because she’s ma queen and she’s gonna slay anyway.
