Trans Angewomon

So Digimon Survive lets you do the Patamon into Angemon into Angewomon evolution line and I think it's sick as fuck. Some other games let you do this too from what I've heard: Digimon World Championship (ds), Digimon World Re:Digitize Decode (3ds), and Digimon World: Next Order (Switch/PS4/Steam). There might be others, but it's a really cool line that I like a lot for the transness of it.

Digimon don't really have genders, or at least the social construct only loosely applies to them. They can be gendered, but there's no real basis for such a thing in the digital world. Biological sex isn't even a thing because they don't have sex or reproduce at all, data just gets recycled and it's very rarely if ever created or destroyed. So in this case any such things are entirely constructs of the human mind, and Digimon are just blank slates we project onto in order to relate to them.

I think this line draws a lot of attention to that concept because it shows by example how fluid gender can be for digimon, just as it is for humans. They can be assigned a gender and have their expression later on run contrary to the gender they were assigned, and that gender identity might change as it matures.

I even came up with a little story for how this could happen

A tamer meets their Patamon, they'te both still young and imature, but excited to face the world together. As time goes on, they both grow a sense of responsibility and maturity. Patamon matures into Angemon just as the tamer matures into an adult. But now that they're more mature, they have responsibilities with no direction, no sense of self. The still have no clue who they are or who they want to be, it's a period of uncertainty and depressive episodes. Once they figure out who they've wanted to be this whole time, Angemon evolves into Angewomon. With the transformation looking as if Angemon was breaking apart to reveal Angewomon underneath, like she was there the whole time. The two of them feel more whole than they never have before with a renewed excitement for life and a whole new set of challenges to overcome, but they have each other, and the infinite capacity for growth and change that both Digimon and Humans have in comon.

Kept it a bit vague cuz I feel like the tamer themself doesn't even need to be trans, the blatant allegory is more than enough, it's not even subtle lol. But they could be trans for sure. Might make more art to fill out this line more, like a mega, maybe an armor evolution, jogress (dna digivolution), and include the tamer as well. Idk there's a lot that can be done here if I want, but this is mostly for fun. I hope you liked the art and my analysis of the evolution line. Angewomon makes me very happy now and I have a newfound respect for her that I never had before

Just bought this collection of classic horror stories today cuz it's a REALLY cool collection and I haven't read any of these yet. So I guess I'll blog about my experience while reading it for fun, I already have some thoughts to share

Pearl sketches I did :3

Also I didn't realize this show had as big an impact on my art as it did cuz I didn't actually have that much trouble drawing these. The style just isn't that far out of my comfort zone...
