When DemiDevimon takes your "green chili sauce"

Day 5-Favorite Supporting Digimon

This one requires no explanation. We all know exactly what scene with this character absolutely broke us as kids.

Digimon Adventure Week Day 3 - Favourite dynamic

In hindsight, I don't know if Gabumon and Matt were the right choice. In my mind, I always liked how well they clicked together, Gabumon being like the only one aside from T.K. whom the lone wolf Matt let get close to him. The issue is, this week is about the original Adventure, and I am not sure if most of my impression of their dynamic is from throughout all the seasons about the Adventure kids. However, I already started this picture when I did my re-watch, after which I was not sure about the choice anymore, but I did not want to change it anymore either. No time. I guess an honorary shoutout goes to Izzy and Tentomon and Joey and Gomamon. The reasons I already specified in the previous entry, Day 2.

Digimon connected charms with digivices

Now it feels like we’re celebrating the 25th Anniversary 😍

This new art for an upcoming collaboration with Karatez is just simply stunning. The theme is (very obviously) “idol” and I personally love the futuristic pop concept they’ve added to the outfits. Although exact date and merch details haven’t been shared yet, they shared a few layouts of the key art.

The outfits are also great this time around because of their little references to the partner Digimon’s Perfect evolutions. Listing them down one by one as always.

Taichi: The blue markings on his jacket plus robotic arm markings on his right sleeve are a nice shoutout to MetalGreymon.

Yamato: We see WereGarurumon’s pattern on his jacket and a few belts wrapped around his hands that captures the punk-grunge vibe of WereGarurumon well. It may be Yamato’s affinity to music, but he looks extremely in his element in this art, it’s not often we see him so raring to go in official merch art (he’s more of a soft smiles guy usually).

Sora: Her gloves and the red bandana on her arm coupled with the feather in her hair are clear shoutouts to Garudamon. It’s kinda funny to me that being the girl who’s crest is a heart symbol, she’s making a victory sign while Mimi and Hikari are both making different types of finger hearts 😆

Koushiro: Honestly they were really subtle with the reference for him and even twitter couldn’t exactly answer my doubts so I’m gonna have to see Koushiro stans step up and answer whether the reference in his outfit limited to the markings on his jacket resembling AtlurKabuterimon’s chest?

Mimi: I think she’s the one with the most easy to catch references, her skirt resembles Lilymon’s and her hair tie looks like Lilymon’s flower canon. I love that she’s making the big finger heart because it’s just so very Mimi. If Yamato suits the passionate side of being an idol, Mimi is definitely meant for the cutesy visual vibe that can make fans go crazy over just a wink and a smile.

Jou: He’s wearing three belt like bracelets around one wrist like Zudomon which makes his a minimal reference though not as subtle as Koushiro’s. I do feel that they could’ve done a bit more with his look, maybe add a horn to the side of his headset? I also can’t wait to see the full art for each kid individually cuz I do think him and Yamato are wearing similar bellbottom pants!

Takeru: The feather on his headset and the yellow suspended straps are a decent reference to HolyAngemon. Considering that they wanted to keep the outfits limited to one colour per kid, I think this is the best way they could slip in the reference, though I wouldn’t have minded a few rings.

Hikari: The feather on the headset, the corset-ish belt around her waist and her gloves are very nice references to Angewomon. Keeping Hikari’s innocence as a kid intact while referencing a Digimon that is undoubtedly considered one of the most sexiest mons in the franchise would have been really tough and I salute the illustrators for coming up with this design! I also like the OG Korean finger heart she’s making, such a cute look on her.

The cherry on top are each of the Digimon partners holding supportive cheering goods for their kids. Piyomon’s love for Sora goes hard with her big name banner. Meanwhile, Agumon and Palmon kept it simple with haoris, Tailmon and Patamon too decided to go the simple route with light sticks. Gabumon, Gomamon and Tentomon seem normal from afar with their hand fans but when you get a closer look on all the hearts around Koushiro’s name on Tentomon’s fan, you know the three spent time making those themselves.

All in all, a pretty amazing illustration to be able to get merch of!

But wait that’s not all, andGallery has also teased a future cafe collaboration with Digimon Adventure on their twitter, more info will be announced on 19th Feb but they did share a preview of what to expect.

Happy Odaiba Memorial month because I'm always late :D Glad to see jogress is still a thing for The Beginning ;w; Can't wait to watch and keep praying someone can give us the movie for global fans and not just for US m(_ _)m

quick drawing smth something of the best collab eveeerrrrrr 😭😭😭

this week's 02tobers are my favorite digimon of each stage in 02 (i took a break for one day this week because there's only 6 linear stages...) predictably, i mostly ended up drawing wormmon's evolutionary line...

oc lore transcribed below the cut (god i'm so sorry for the damage glaze did to this)

it's really long below the cut so be warned

Okay, Lore Time.

"REV" the Apocalymon

he/him, they/them (plural)

a reincarnation of the previous Apocalymon, who inherited their feelings and incorporated the data of Meicoomon to adopt their body for travel; this incorporated data may be responsible for the more tame mutation of this incarnation

dislikes Homeostasis for its role in maintaining the Digital World's constants which allow Apocalymon to continue reforming and accumulating new data, but has the hindsight of the last Apocalymon's campaign against it, despite resenting what they see as a fundamental hypocrisy in Homeostasis's behaviors

wandering the Digital World in search of both purpose and the original source of the distortion that birthed their predecessors

Rev is able to emote slightly with his mask, the circuitry moving almost like eyebrows

The "Roaming Mode" Rev uses condenses the data of his full body into a body capable of leaving the Dark Area. Switching between these two forms is possible, but requires a great deal of energy.

However, Rev's RM should not be underestimated, as they still possess the capability to channel the power of the Dark Area. While RM imposes severe physical limitations on Rev, they are willing to fight if provoked.

This does not necessarily mean that Rev is as quick to turn to violence as their predecessors, however. In RM, Rev is able to approach weaker Digimon without risking their wellbeing simply due to the distortive nature of an Apocalymon's data. Digimon that do not make assumptions based on his appearance are Digimon that Rev spends a great deal of time around. Now that they have the luxury of enjoying the Digital World, even in such a limited capacity, they take time to savor their experiences.

In order for a smaller body to function, Rev required modification to his data to allow for a more balanced circulatory system. Converting between forms takes energy to do without causing great damage to the Digital World, but maintaining RM requires energy as well. With better data circulation, RM can be feasibly maintained for an indefinite period of time.

[ID 1: Flat-color artwork of an Apocalymon OC named Rev. He is a humanoid Digimon with a half-mask covering the top of his face. Gold circuitry is visible on the top of the mask, but the rest of the pattern is on the side of the mask not visible. His left eye, which faces the viewer, has a red scar-like mark over the mask. Rev has shoulder-length white hair. His body appears emaciated and distorted, with a cape growing out of his own skin and nonhuman proportions. The ends of the cape end in DNA helix-patterns. Three pipe-like structures stretch from the bottom of his torso through his knees and feet, and from his back to the base of his head respectively. His torso ends in a knit of veins akin to the roots of plants, and are tied in pentagonal structures ending in clawed feet. The claws on his feet are the same bright pink and sharp style as the ones on his hands.]

[ID 2: The same artwork as above, with additional notes and sketches. There are two sketches of Rev's right eye facing the viewer, demonstrating his ability to emote using the circuitry patterns on his mask. There is also a rudimentary sketch of the full geometric body of Apocalymon, a structure comprised of 12 pentagons. Another sketch shows Rev gesturing menacingly with his cape flared out. There is also a sketch of Rev kneeling next to Botamon. Botamon is a small digimon reminiscent of a cat's head, with round ears and bright eyes on a black body. The final sketch is a simplified torso sketch of Rev, demonstrating where the black pipe connects the base of his skull and the small of his back. The notes are transcribed in the read more below, as there is a lot of them.]

Digimon Adventure Week 2024- Favorite Digimon Partner

Gatomon holds a special place in my heart. I remember coming home after school and hurriedly turning on the TV because Digimon was on. I have strong memories of the Myotismon arc One of the stars of this arc was Gatomon, so naturally, she became one of my favorite Digimon. A Digimon that through a twist of fate ended up going through so much but still, she kept the light in her heart shining until she could meet Kari, her partner.

Digimon Adventure Week Day 1 - Favourite Digidestined

A little late to the game, but oh well. Here goes day 1.

So, I went with Tai and Izzy. I don't really dislike any of the Digidestined. Each do have their qualities they bring to the team. Some I like for their personality, some for their design. Like, I do like Mimi's design, but I am not the biggest fan of her character (especially that time she abused the Gekomon's hospitality). And each of the other children have some really low moments. But Tai and Izzy gave me the least moments where I was frustrated with them. And I think they also show the most growth during the show. I like Izzy's smarts, and I like how Tai truly has leadership qualities. And that without the annoying dumb but overpowered protagonist shenanigan going on as other series have. He can be smart too, actually, like when he wondered who send the rocks flying that time when Leomon and Ogremon attacked them and Devimon sent some boulders their way. And he also listens to the others' advice 95 percent of the time, not trying stubbornly to have his way no matter what. And Izzy... oh boy, how well he handled the news when he found out he was adopted. Other children might have reacted far worse. But no, Izzy goes on loving his parents just the same, nothing changing from before. And how understanding he is when they finally tell him. Major props, my boy.

Happy Taichi Week(end)! This is my piece for @taichiyagamiweek 2023, May 19th: Adulthood.

Michi Week 2023 - Day 1: Tie the String

Happy Michi Week! @taichixmimi

Koromon...? You were waiting for me?

Digimon Adventure Week 2024 #2

2. What is the first memory you associate with Digimon Adventure?

I don’t have one specific first memory. All I remember is that, in my country Portugal, Digimon Adventure first aired around 2000, 2001, during Batatoon. This was a kid’s show that aired every school day around 4 p.m. and included episodes from different cartoons. They ran the entirety of Adventure back to back multiple times, one episode per day. I didn’t always have the chance to watch the show every day, so I missed a lot of episodes. It would be a year or two before I could watch the entire season front to back properly – when it aired on a different channel on weekend mornings – and really understand the story.

Now that I think about it though, I think the first episode I ever watched was the third one – the one where Garurumon debuts. I vaguely remember the dynamic between Yamato/Matt and Takeru/T.K. catching my attention. Maybe that’s why sibling relationships have always been one of my favorite things about Digimon.
