Apparently the secret to making art you're happy with is to tell yourself you're not going to make a finished piece....then somehow get into a flow state listening to documentaries for 2+ hours 💀

Digimon Partners for the TWST Cast | Pt. Scarabia
( Summary: Basically how they met and more. )
Heartslabyul, Savanaclaw, Octavinelle, Scarabia, Pomefiore, Ignihyde, Diasomnia
(A/N: Sorry if some of these seem out of character. Also this is a LONG post and contains spoilers for Book 4)
(Iguneetmon)
Pronouns: He/Him
Iguneetmon appeared a month before Book 4
They weren't seen much around at all. Maybe if you spot him then he will quickly disappear at a moment's notice but they went undetected until the events of Book 4
He took an intrest in Kalim and how he acted so carefree, similar to other Iguneetmon, so when he suddenly started acting like a relentless tyrant he suspected something was up
Before Baal!Yuu and Grim were dragged into Scarabia, he figured out it was mind control and helped the best he could by creating soundwaves that would break the mind control on Kalim
He did this until he was discovered Baal!Yuu while sneaking around
He wasn't the only the digimon found there since apparently there was another digimon somewhere in Scarabia, but for now the two of them made a truce to help each other out and stop Jamil's plan
After Book 4, Kalim had a proper introduction to Iguneetmon. After which he insisted on throwing a party to celebrate the new residents of the dorm
Iguneetmon turned out to be very reliable and managed to do most of the chores, other than cooking
At first Kalim found this as a good thing. Not only did it mean Jamil didn't have to work all the time and could start being his own person and it meant they had an extra pair of hands
Then, Kalim learned from Baal!Yuu and the other Scarabia digimon that this behavior wasn't exactly normal for Iguneetmon. They were actually pretty lazy yet fun loving digimon and it was weird for one to be so reliable, grounded, and serious
He also came to his own realization (with a slight hint from Jamil) that this is kind of like how he was treating Jamil like before. Sure he was his friend, but still relied on him heavily for tasks and such
Feeling bad and not wanting to repeat any mistakes, he basically talked to Iguneetmon and tried to make him relax more by trying to do some chores by himself while Iguneetmon, though not with the best results
Iguneetmon was a bit irritated since he was being treated like a kid and even blew up at Kalim
Once the situation between the two clamed down and they were able to talk, Iguneetmon told Kalim why he doesn't exactly behave like a standard Iguneetmon
It was because he didn't have the luxury to spend lazing around all day since he grew up in the most dangerous depths of the Digital World's jungle
Most of the time he had to survive on his own and there wasn't a place in that jungle where he could properly relax without a stronger digimon or dangerous plant trying to harvest his data
He couldn't even properly evolve to a higher evolution level other than Rookie because of the fact he had to stay small to avoid the larger digimon
Kalim took in the information well, recognizing that digimon had a much harsher upbringing then him. But still explained that he did not want to make the same mistake he did with Jamil and end up having his new friend become a servant
They both came to a solution, Iguneetmon would help Kalim with teaching Kalim how to do basic chores and whenever wanted to do something fun Iguneetmon would join in
The two ended up becoming friends, but Iguneetmon made sure to reel in his partner's behavior when he went a bit overboard with spending or pushing boundaries
Kalim is getting better on his own time, but he's still thankful Iguneetmon helps keep him in check
Evolution Line
Iguneetmon > Agnimon > Aldamon > Wargreymon
(I feel this one needs more explaining. Not only did I choose because I thought a Xros Wars inspired Iguneetmon would be more interesting and I just didn't think that the gold/wealth based digimon. Also, Wargreymon's attack reminds me of Kalim's sunny personality and his cosmic attack. Just know I stretched for this one and if anyone has a better opinion of a partner digimon for Kalim I would love to hear it.)
(Sandiramon)
Pronouns: He/They
Sandiramon was the other digimon hiding in Scarabia, being there for an unknown amount of time
They kept hidden by burrowing themselves in the sands of Scarabia and spied on the humans more out of curiosity rather than any malicious intent
They took a particular notice to Jamil. Sandiramon could see the potential he had, and how it was wasted. It made the digimon want to whisper in the boy's ear about rebelling
Then he noticed how Jamil was hypnotising Kalim. They didn't really care, this was a human problem and from what they heard from 'coincidentally' eavesdropping on Jamil's plan he thought that Jamil was justified
But then Jamil overblotted, and that managed to be enough to get the snake digimon out of hiding
And the way they made themselves known to Jamil was quite the introduction
During the Jamil's overblot fight there was a rumbling and quaking in the ground and before Jamil could react, Sandiramon came out of the ground and dragged the phantom down into the sand and destroy it
Afterwards, the two had a proper introduction and it was decided that Sandiramon would stay in Scarabia. Mostly due to the fact that it was already the digimon's natural environment and Kalim already planned on taking him and Iguneetmono in
Sandiramon, not needing to hide anymore, then decided to hang around Jamil
They couldn't help him do chores much and honestly having a giant snake hang around them creeped the Scarabia student out, but at the same time they were good company
One night, Jamil asked Sandiramon why he was even hanging around him
This eventually lead to a debate between the two. Sandiramon arguing against the very idea he should limit himself and that even the Al-Asim boy gave his blessing so he should take it instead of falling back into old habits and hide who he was
Jamil argued back that even if he did, what would it change. He was still in the position of a servant to the Asim household and the only thing that would come of it was anger from the very household he was told to make sure not to overshadow
They continued this debate back and forth, trading cruel words and cunning blows. It ended when Jamil argued back against it by saying that why he should he take advice from a monstrous snake who only interfered out of his own desire? What makes him in the right to tell him what he want? And that he already knows this and already said it playing straight that while he keeps his head down he'll still manage to make his way to success and there is nothing an overgrown snake would say to pursue him otherwise
Jamil expected anger from the snake, instead he was met with a smile and was told before the digimon disappeared into the sands. "Congratulations. You have me as an ally and one victory against the Asim boy."
Jamil didn't know what they meant, but ever since then Sandiramon subtly encourages him to take opportunities for himself and tries to make Jamil stands out while still blending in
Nothing crazy, just points him in the right direaction and let Jamil's natural intellect take charge
He also refers to Jamil as his tamer/partner, which Jamil thought that was what he meant that he managed to get a digimon partner before Kalim bonded with Iguneetmon
Imagine his surprise when he went to Baal!Yuu to ask more about digimon and he found out that basically a well known holy beast digimon of cunning and cruelty, known for serving one of the many protectors of the digital world, and who barely takes an interest outside of his duties, just claimed to be HIS partner
Suffice to say that he was a bit conflicted that his partner was a loyal and feared follower of a digital GOD, but the oversized snake does make at least decent company
Also the fact that he changes into his rookie form to save Jamil the hasel of making a big feast just to feed him and they eat any bugs so Jamil does not freak out over them. That is also a nice touch
Evolution Line
Patamon > Coatlmon > Sandiramon > Mervamon
Hey there! Been awhile since I updated this AU. Thank you for reading and I hope you enjoyed the post!
Sandiramon year!
In Digimon Tamers, Zhuqiaomon was solely responsible for the creation of the Deva, who it sent to abduct Calumon. However, in broader Digimon lore, it is but one of four Digimon sovereign (a group of Digimon who previously appeared in Digimon Adventure 02, with the focus on Azulongmon) each of whom rule over three of the Deva.
After meeting Shu-Chong "Suzie" Wong, Antylamon defected to the side of the protagonists.
The Deva are all based on signs of the Chinese Zodiac.
Azulongmon of the East rules over Mihiramon (the tiger), Antylamon (the rabbit), and Majiramon (the dragon).
Ebonwumon of the North rules over Vikaralamon (the pig), Kumbhiramon (the rat), and Vajramon (the bull).
Baihumon of the West rules over Makuramon (the monkey), Sinduramon (the chicken), and Caturamon (the dog).
Finally, Zhuqiaomon of the South rules over Sandiramon (the snake), Indaramon (the horse), and Pajiramon (the sheep).
Embodying the center of the Earth is Huanglongmon.
Weekly Digimon Comic: Digimon Tamers - page 15.25
Oh gee, I wonder if this comic is going to result in a rambling, unsolicited rant about how bad the cartoonist's time living in Washington DC was? Well no, I won't do that... THIS TIME. After all, I don't have to because whatever you just imagined after reading my self-effacing meta-reference to it is good enough already! I WIN!
Credit where credit is due, though, I do like all the little tricks this episode pulls to suggest that the stakes are starting to rise. Everything about Sandiramon's rampage feels a bit more chaotic and serious than anything we'd seen in the preceding episodes, especially when directly contrasted to Takato & co just playing in the park. Gosh, it's almost like this show is GOOD or something!
