Curious what you would consider your most obscure ship(s)? I lowkey ship Ruki x Izumi, so that’s probably mine on account of being a crossover ship.

So my only ships are from Adventure series, since I'm most familiar with those. As many of you know, I ship Jou/Taichi. I guess that wouldn't be the most obscure, but it's certainly not one people think about. I also ship Takeru/Koushiro, which is even more obscure. I like the idea of Takeru having a crush on him that kind of comes to a head when Koushiro is a 3rd year in high school and Takeru is a 1st year. But maybe I would call those rarepairs and not necessarily obscure ships.

I do also ship Jou/Taichi/Mimi if that counts?? I don't think a single other person ships that. It's kind of chaotic.

But without a doubt, the most obscure thing I ship is Daisuke/Michael. I'm one of only 2 people who have written for it on AO3. I find it to have a lot of untapped potential and I wish more people thought about Daisuke/Michael. Daichael. Misuke. I have no idea what it should be called lmaoo.

Thanks for this ask! I love talking about shipping, if y'all didn't already know.

Something that I want to note about Volo flirting specifically, is that it’s very light. Kind of airy, as the Libra end of his cusp may so represent. See, he speaks with a lot of intent and vocabulary, without wanting to seem overly affectionate! Love, in the general sense, is something to be expected from the world. Like it’s not a big deal. But he keeps the heavy stuff on lockdown, distancing himself appropriately at all times. He is not a man that is going to scare you off. As well, and this is my opinion, but Volo seems to always consistently have this sensuality about him, this element that’s alluring. Maybe it’s the mystery and playfulness, the light joy with the world. He is a romantic sort, and that shows through even when he’s being distant, so to speak. Just a little of heart showing through, Appropriate. For not ingenuine! But this side of him, is Safe to show, at all times.

Of course, the Scorpio part plays in with love, the deep water. He yearns, he burns, he desires. Volo is an intense man under the facade, he loves deep. Volo is going to love his partner with all the intensity as his love for reaching Arceus. Beyond, even. I want you to know that if there are moments where he longingly reaches for the heavens, motioning to grasp at it- He would do the same for his lover. Hunger and Thirst after them when they aren’t looking, to be godlike is to need them like food and water. They are something to either be equal to a god, or worthy of being kept tenderly and safely, and controlled- Bare minimum too good for obliteration.

Consistently, he will be all over you, in every manner allowed. Whether playing it safe in public, or ravenous behind closed doors. Consent is important! No means No!  But he’s going to make his love known in the best way possible. And is not afraid to beg or demand if the answer might be yes.

Send ‘You made a list?!’ for me to list some of the pros and cons of dating my muse.

I am (re)discovering lately that my favorite ship dynamic is “person who seems like a lazy, useless idiot but is actually hypercompetent x person who seems put-together and responsible but is actually kind of a walking disaster.”

I was talking about multishipping today. I realize multishipping might not be the norm for Digimon, especially in a fandom so rooted in people having very strong feelings about their single OTP (I mean all fandoms are like that, but you know what I mean).

I have OTPs too, but holy moly do I multiship HARD in this fandom. Like I was thinking about how, when I first realized Jou was my muse… that was what suddenly opened my eyes to the possibility that I could enjoy multiple ships with the same character. Jou Kido in general is just perfect for exploring that because he has so much chemistry in so many different ways with Taichi, Sora, Yamato, Koushiro, and Mimi. I feel that way about Daisuke too, since he’s my other favorite character. He just works SO WELL with everyone. Loving those two characters just really changed my perspective on shipping in general

Like today I can talk about Jou and Yamato holding hands across the center console of a car… and tomorrow I can talk about Jou leaning in to give Mimi a kiss across the kitchen island and accidentally knocking over a bag of groceries

Tuesday I can talk about Takeru shutting Daisuke up by forcing a hat onto his head. And Wednesday I can talk about Daisuke and Miyako bumping knees in the theater when they both get excited about the same part in a movie

[ I’ve been working on a personal Digimon Shipping Masterlist that I’m extremely worried about showing everyone in case I get flack for it. But I thought I’d share my favorite part of it. Which is the OT3 part. ]

[ if anyone else out there honestly and legitimately ships Jyourami as an OT3 poly ship like I do, all I can say is that Digimon tri. has been very kind ]
