I see you're a Digimon fan, at least Adventure. Have any ships? Favorite characters? Fan digimon or their human partners?
(Warning: this is going to be a long-ass post because I finally get to talk about Digimon. I blame you for that)
Hello, hello! Why yes, I’m a Digimon fan. I don’t know if I can necessarily call myself part of the fandom though seeing as I have never watched anything but Digimon Adventure 1 and 2 (because I grew up watching those two). Recently I’ve started to familiarize myself with Digimon (meaning re-watching them all over again) to gear myself up before diving into Digimon Tri, hence the flood of Digimon stuff on my blog.
Now, speaking of ships, ugh. The thing about Digimon Adventure is that I HAVE SO MANY PAIRINGS IT’S NOT EVEN FUNNY. Here’s the list:
Taichi x Sora (I will be forever bitter about the fact that Taiora is NOT canon. Taiora is a match made in fucking heaven, come on)
Taichi x Takeru (try to tell me that these two wouldn’t be compatible and I will LAUGH in your face. Takeru is the embodiment of ‘calm and collected’, so he can keep Taichi in check whenever he’s out of line, which let’s be real here, he often is. Taichi getting beyond excited to adopt a baby with Takeru. Takeru smiling lovingly. IT’S BEAUTIFUL)
Mimi x Yamato (HOW COULD THEY NOT MAKE THESE TWO CANON INSTEAD?! THESE TWO COULD HAVE BEEN MORE THAN BEAUTIFULLY COMPATIBLE HAD ONLY THEY TRIED TO EXPLORE THIS PAIRING. I HONESTLY??? DON’T??? GET??? HOW??? THEY CHOSE??? TO??? PAIR YAMATO UP?? WITH??? SORA??? HOW DOES SORATO EVEN WORK????)
Yamato x Daisuke (I feel that pent-up sexual frustration is closely tied to these two)
Mimi x Jyou (I used to ship them when I was a kid, before I decided that Mimato would be much better. I still like the idea of them together though)
Mimi x Koushiro (I don’t exactly SHIP-SHIP them, but there was this one Koumi drabble that I stumbled across that was more than brilliantly done and since then, I kinda entertain the idea of these two together)
Mimi x Miyako (hell fucking yeah. Gimme Miyako and Mimi being a disgustingly in-love couple just like Mimi’s parents)
Koushiro x Miyako (again, I don’t exactly ship-ship them, but I can see them ending up together. All that leaning over the other’s shoulder working on something together on a computer… yeah. Sexual tension everywhere)
Takeru x Hikari (let’s be real here. At one point in our lives we must have shipped them at least for a period of time. I still do, to some extent, but not as much as I used to when I was little)
Takeru x Catherine (think about it. Takeru has this charm basically oozing and spilling out all over the place, coupled that with his easy-going mien… the kind of character that would be a perfect match for someone of Catherine’s caliber and personality)
Hikari x Daisuke (I feel that Hikari COULD easily fall in love with Daisuke if these two were explored. And Daisuke would be so good to her he practically would worship the very ground she walked on. They’d be one of those couples that was lovey-dovey and mushy, (yet steadfast and strong) all the time that it would get sickening at times. One of those ‘high school sweethearts’ that eventually would end up married and having a litter of kids)
Daisuke x Ken (”I know I felt it. That we’re partners. IchIjouji’s heartbeat… thump, thump, thump… I felt it inside me!” if you’re telling me that’s not gay then I don’t know what is)
Daisuke x Catherine (not even going to bother explaining this one because I know the pairing sounds illogical but, eh, whatever)
Ken x Miyako (do you have ANY idea how over the moon I was when the epilogue showed them married with three babies? I was only nine or so at the time, BUT I HAD BEEN SHIPPING THEM FOR A WHILE; I believe it was after that episode where Miyako decided to believe that Ken had changed for the better and for good. Whooo boy. One of my all-time OTPs, that’s for sure)
Iori x Takeru (I don’t ship these two as much as I ship Takeru and Taichi, but I can see these two work well)
Now that the shipping thing is out of the way, I’m bad at picking favorites. Especially favorite characters, because I like all of them. But I guess if I had to choose… maybe Ken? His character has always fascinated me ever since I was little (aside from his raging hotness; but the again, I find each one of those Chosen Children attractive, so). He has so many layers but at the same time he’s inherently and overall a good, loving, gentle and kind person. The way he treats Wormmon warms my heart (NOT when he’s the Digimon Kaiser, mind you. I neither condone, defend, nor romanticize his Digimon Kaiser persona. In fact, the Digimon Kaiser makes me sick. I’m talking about the pure Ken Ichijouji here). Basically I’m just a sucker for cinnamon rolls that are too good for this world, and Ken Ichijouji is one of them.
I have to say I don’t really understand your last question here. Did you mean my favorite pair of Digimon and their partner? Or my favorite Digimon that are assigned to human partners? Tell you what: I’ll give you answers to both possible questions (I FEEL LIKE TALKING ABOUT DIGIMON SO SUE ME)
Favorite pairs of Digimon and human partners:
Tentomon - Koushiro (the dynamic between these two is so endearing to me. Not to mention the way Tentomon calls Koushiro with the -han suffix)
Agumon - Taichi (classic goofballs of the group)
Patamon - Takeru (PATAMON AND TAKERU WAILING LIKE ACTUAL BABIES AND BEING SMOL BABIES TOGETHER IN ADVENTURE 1 WILL NEVER BE NOT CUTE)
Tailmon - Hikari (a cat and a cat lover. What more do you need?)
Palmon - Mimi (so there were a couple of times when I felt that Mimi treated Palmon like crap, but I like the overall vibe these two give)
V-mon - Daisuke (I know that every Digimon has unending loyalty to their partner and vice versa, but the loyalty between these two is literally in-your-face fierce and I like that shit)
Wormmon - Ken (I COULD WATCH THESE TWO JUST DOING MUNDANE THINGS TOGETHER FOR DAYS ON END WITHOUT GETTING BORED)
Favorite Digimon with human partners:
Gomamon (kid’s got a dry sense of humor. Me likey. Plus, his attack is MARCHING FISHES. MARCHING MOTHERFUCKING FISHES. COLORFUL, MARCHING FISHES. IF THAT’S NOT CUTE THEN I DON’T KNOW WHAT IS)
Agumon (he eats like a pig. What’s not to love?)
Tentomon (the way he talks never fails to amuse me)
Palmon (MY SWEET CHILD WHO LOVES PRETTY THINGS AND LOOKING PRETTY)
Patamon (can I just take him home and mush his cheeks together?)
Armadimon (”Something something DAGYAAA” jeez. Can he be any more adorable?)
Wormmon (WHO DOESN’T WANT A DIGIMON WHO LOOKS AT YOU LIKE YOU CAN DO NOTHING WRONG? PLUS, I WOULDN’T MIND HIS CLINGINESS, LIKE, AT ALL. HE COULD NUZZLE UP TO ME WHENEVER HE SO PLEASED)
As for your last question about Miyako x Hikari, I don’t have a problem with that pairing. It’s just that I envision Miyako with Mimi more than with Hikari.
