Digimon Adventure/02 Queer Headcanons
I was talking to @seventeenlovesthree about queer headcanons for Digimon, given that it is Pride Month. And while I talked about this before in a couple of entries, I thought it would only be appropriate to make a proper entry about the matter for once. Or rather a series of entries, as I am going to make several of those. Though be warned: Adventure/02 is definitely going to be the queerest.
This has a reason though in my headcanon: See, the Homeostasis canonically chose kids that were similar in make-up to Taichi and Hikari. Thus, given that Taichi is queer in my headcanon, that was a pattern that emerged, when the Homeostasis chose the first children. Hence: Everyone is fucking queer. Well, almost everyone. I have two straights for the quota! xD
Yagami Taichi - Pansexual
There never was any doubt in my mind, that Taichi was pansexual. He figures this out during his teen years. He just does not care about general physical attributes in other people. He will have this phase during his university time where he does the very pretentious pansexual thing of being like: "Oh, I only ever care about the person, you know?" Much to the annouyance of some other people. But yeah, technically it is fitting with him. He just cares about people and also is quite curious about things.
Eventually in my headcanon he ends up with Koshiro.
Ishida Yamato - Bicurious
Adult Yamato is a mess in my headcanon. He is a semi-popular musician, who makes ends meet by also hosting a radio show on music events in Tokyo. If you ask him, he is very, very straight... Until he is drunk, then there is no guarantee for anything. He has definitely slept with the other members of his band at least once, and does not want to talk about it. Generally speaking a lot of stuff happens in a semi-drunk state. He also manages to father two children through drunken sex. He really, really should go to therapy.
One of the kids is with Sora. They do marry, but get divorced after just three years.
Takeuchi Sora - Bicurious
Sora is also bicurious in my headcanon, though for her it does not manifest that strongly. She had a couple of "I kissed a girl and I liked it" moments, but never actually gets together with another girl, or even gets to third base. There is also the fact that her fairly conservative upbringing holds her back on that front. In my headcanon she takes over her mother's flower shop, rather than being a fashion designer. As quoted above: she has a kid with Yamato, married him but they were divorced by the time they were 26. She did meet another man after that, though, and those two got married rather quick. She has a second child with this man.
Izumi Koshiro - Demisexual-Homoromantic
For most of his teenage years, Koshiro does not even think much about romance. He explains this to himself with "well, I have other things to do", while in his friendgroup all those dramas unfold. However, as he starts going to university he notices that he has feelings for Taichi, which he originally burries. However, since he hangs a lot with Mimi and Miyako, the truth comes out eventually and the two of them help him figure himself out - and do help him to eventually confess to Taichi.
Kido Jyou - Graysexual
Jyou is mainly awkward about it all. In his teen years he notices that he is interested in romance in some way, but not really in sex. He finds the idea strange at first. He struggles finding an actual girlfriend. He dates two times, and both times it lasts only weeks. Eventually he gives up - he is too busy studying either way. (Mind you, in my headcanon he ends up becoming a teacher, not a doctor, because I hate the doctor thing for several reasons.) He does yearn for romance though. Eventually he lets himself get set up for an arranged date at this works out well for him. While he is most of the time not that into sex, he does love his wife, and does eventually have children.
Tachikawa Mimi - Pansexual
Mimi never holds back on her true feelings, and thus fairly early on accepts that she is into boys and girls, and possibly other things as well. She has a phase where she just tries dating around a lot and experimenting. Given she is living in the USA, she also drags everyone to New York Pride first chance she gets. Eventually she does however fall in love with Miyako and the two of them get married as soon as becomes legal in the US.
Yagami Hikari - Straight Ally
Hikari is one of the two odd ones out. She has kissed a girl once, but she did not like it specifically. And for a bit she is wondering what she actually wants in a partner, especially as she is certain very early on that she wants kids. She and Takeru date for a bit, but it feels wrong (basically as if she was dating a sibling - and she does not speak over the fact that in her early teens she was kinda attracted to Taichi, even though that might just have been her brother complex). She has several more serious relationships while she is in her apprenticeship, but eventually meets her future husband and gets married.
Takaishi Takeru - Bicurious
Takeru has an almost more scientific approach to the entire thing. As stated above: He does date Hikari for a bit, but it is awkward and they mutually decide to break up. When he goes to university, he eventually does decide to try thing out - and he does not hate it. However, he struggles to find a partner with whom he really clicks. He is not quite sure whether he is "aromantic" - as Mimi phrases it - but so far he really has issues finding someone who feels right for him.
Motomiya Daisuke - Bisexual
Daisuke does figure out that he is bi during his late teens, but given he first ends up becoming a professional soccer player, he does not dare to come out and ends up deep, deep in the closet, very unhappy with the entire situation. Eventually however he gets injured during a game in career ending way, and after that just starts working in Digitamamon's restaurant. This allows him to come more to terms with his feelings - and he does kinda know he is in love with Ken. So, yeah, those two eventually end up together.
Inoue Miyako - Bisexual
For a good long time in her teens, Miyako has an obsession with Ken, who does however not react to any advances she is making. When she outright confesses her feelings, he apologizes but says he cannot return them. When she ends up visiting Mimi for a bit of girltime and those things, those two end up trying things out and... it works surprisingly well. It is first messing around, but real feelings come from it soon enough.
Hida Iori - Straight Ally
Iori has the most boring love life out of all the chosen children from Japan. At the end of his time in Highschool he gets a chance to go abroad for a year to Korea. There he meets a girl, they fall in love, and they stay together. Four years later they marry and have a fairly happy and healthy relationship. End of story. He would never judge someone for their queerness, though.
Ichijouji Ken - Gay
Ken's love life could have been simple in another world. He falls in love with Daisuke in his early teens. However, he does not date to say anything and due to the above stated complications, he spends a decade pining for Daisuke from afar, never daring to say anything. It does work out eventually, though.
Bonus: Wallace - Disaster Bisexual
And here we go with my favorite American chosen. Wallace. Wallace is... a disaster. If you happen to talk to this man, he will flirt with you, that much is for certain. Like Hikari he becomes eventually a photographer, but other than her he does focus in wildlife photography, travelling a lot, which leads to him hooking up and getting into trouble for it at times. He does not mind though. He is a free spirit lol
