Yo yo yooooo, Bleach Brave Souls is doing it again!!! I. NEED. THIS. ULQUIORRAAAA.

Orihime looks quite nice too. Even Nnoitora's design is fine, although I don't like that guy in general. So... please, gods of mobile games, pleeeease gimme Ulquiorra in one of the first pulls. Please. (Goes off to frantically stock up her orbs again until banner start).

Also, Ulquihime fans - here you go. Show me your fanarts of these two!

Finally, FINALLY I did a Gojo. Took way too long. Has one, two minor mistakes, but overall, I am quite happy with it.

What do you think Grumblemon would be like with Teppei's influence?

That would heavily depend on Teppei's own development. Remember, Teppei was a bully and a huge jerk at the start of the series. And during the episode he and the other three appeared in, he wasn't a decent person yet either. He was the one dropping the comment of the Digidestined at least being good for collecting trash if they don't have Digimon with them that are strong fighters. And he caught Tommy alone again and bullied him. At least after seeing the Digidestined digivolve, he seems to have learned his lesson. So, at the beginning, I can see Grumblemon behave pretty much as we see him do in the series. Maybe fighting for the good side, but with pretty much the personality and methods of anime Grumblemon. Only if Teppei himself becomes a better person does Grumblemon become nicer too.

If Digimon Frontier had been airing at the time of the release of the first Digimon Rumble Arena, how do you think Digivolution would have been handled for the kids in Frontier?

Unfortunately, I never got to play Rumble Arena. So I don't know its mechanics. And I am not sure if I understand what exactly you mean by "handling Digivolution". However, I believe that it is questionable wether the Frontier kids could have been integrated in the first place. Main issue is, that four of the six only have gotten only two evolutions, whereas Takuya and Koji got both a Double Spirit and Hyper Spirit digivolution. Well, there are Double Spirit evolutions for the others, they could have taken those. Even though the only good design that is also consistent with its H and B Spirits is Raihimon. Problem is the Hyper Spirit digivolution, if we treat the H Spirit like a Rookie level, B Spirit as Champion and so forth. They'd have needed to create specific Hyper Spirit Digimon for the other four. Or they'd have had to create four pendants to Flamemon and Strabimon, which could have served as the Rookie level equivalents. So, to sum it up, I think it comes down to how much work they'd want to put in. I hope this answers your question. If not, I can watch some Rumble Arena and give a more accurate response. See ya, and thank you so much for your ask. 😉

Partners for the Digimon Frontier Digidestined

In Episode 47, the Digidestined land on the Yellow Moon, courtesy to an attack from the freed Lucemon. There they meet the Baby Digimon and Digimon Eggs they had previously encountered, which had been under Swanmon's protection. And each of the Digidestined picks up a newly hatched Digimon, holding them in their arms. One day, I had the idea of making a list. Based on the Digimon they each picked up, what would each Digidestined's partner be if they had partners instead of Spirits?

I went according to what each Digimon would evolve in according to Wikimon, which contains all kinda official evolutions throughout all the different media (be it Pendulums, games, or whatever). At the same time, I tried to stick to each kid's theme where possible, like electricity for JP and wind for Zoe. Only ones that were impossible were Takuya and Tommy, since none of the Digimon they picked up had anything with ice or fire in their evolution trees.

Also, the Digivices would be the D3 from Adventure 02, cause I like the idea that these partners would also be able to Armor Digivolve - into armor Digimon we didn't see in anime yet as well (or at least not with the 02 kid's Digimon. We got Sagittarimon appearing shortly twice, but I'd loved to see Veemon actually evolve with the Digimental of Hope in an anime).

So, have fun, and if you have any ideas, don't hesitate to let me know with a comment. ;) Enjoy the list!

Takuya

Digivice color: Dark blue

Chibomon - Demiveemon - Veemon - Veedramon - Aero-Veedramon - UlforceVeedramon

It would have been quite tempting to put the evolution line of Davis's Veemon. However, Paildramon and Imperialdramon are Jogress Evolutions, and we don't know what Exveemon would evolve into without Stingmon. Luckily, we have a very cool alternative option in the line of Tai's (probably) Veemon from the V-Tamer manga. So I went with that. Speaking of Tai - it's interesting that they gave him Chibomon and not Botamon/Koromon. The Agumon line would have kept the fire theme. But honestly... I would love to see the Veedramon line in anime one day. Or why not animate V-Tamer?

Koji

Digivice color: Light blue

Poyomon - Tokomon - Patamon - Angemon - MagnaAngemon - Goddramon

What can I say, with him getting a Tokomon...? Of course I had to pick the Angemon line. I only switched up the Mega level, picking Goddramon instead of Seraphimon. For... multiple, sometimes obvious reasons.

Koichi

Digivice color: Dark purple

Poyomon - Tokomon - Tukaimon - BlackGatomon - LadyDevimon - Mastemon

Oooff... my favourite Frontier kid, and he was the hardest to do. I wanted to keep a dark aestetic, since he does have the Spirits of Darkness. And I wanted to do like a dark counterpart to Koji. Unfortunately, there aren't a lot of dark colored angel or angel-like Digimon that aren't evil. I think there are even none of those. That's why I was reluctant to pick LadyDevimon, since she usually is an antagonist when she appears in the anime. Isn't the only good LadyDevimon the one from Cyber Sleuth? But I think this is the list I feel most content with from all the option that I checked out. And Mastemon is pretty cool-looking. n.n I also could have gone with a cat aestetic, since, well, AncientSphinxmon, Löwemon and KaiserLeomon, but that worked out pretty badly as well.

Zoe

Digivice color: Pink

Poromon - Hawkmon - Aquilamon - Sylphimon - Valkyriemon

Thank god they gave her Poromon. This made her list pretty easy. I mean, as holder of the Spirit of Winds, what better for her than a bird Digimon? Unfortunately we don't have a proper Ultra Level for Aquilamon, so I had to pick the Jogress Evolution Sylphimon. But I am not sad; it visually fits quite well with Aquilamon, and is also a perfect segway into Valkyriemon.

J.P.

Digivice color: Dark yellow

Motimon - Tentomon - Kabuterimon - Alturkabuterimon Blue - Herakleskabuterimon

Another veery easy pick. Tentomon line. Elektric bug. Need I say more? I only switched Izzy's red Alturkabuterimon its blue variant to pay tribute to the blue in Beetlemon's color pallet.

Tommy

Digivice color: Light yellow

Upamon - Armadillomon - Ankylomon - Shakkoumon - SlashAngemon

No ice for Tommy-boy here. However, I think he'd be very cute with Armadillomon, especially if it were anything like Cody's Armadillmon from 02. Here, I too had to pick the Jogress Evolution Shakkoumon for Ultra Level. But with SlashAngemon as Mega, I don't mind, since Shakkoumon serves as a good segway from earth to steel (and angel).

P.P.S.: I forgot the German release! Since I am Swiss, I did watch of course the German dub (except for when on summer holidays in Italy, where of course I watched it in Italian). And that was released in August. Alright, let's get started on a picture for then. n.n That ways, I still will have been able to do a birthday pic to one of my childhood memories.

It's March 7th! A happy friggin 25th birthday, Digimon Adventure!

P.S.: Wished I could have done a drawing myself, but I did not have the time, unfortunately. All I can do now is prepare for the 30th birthday...

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 Adventure Week Day 2 - Favourite Digimon Partner

...

...

I'm so sorry! T.T I know there are five mons on here. But I really struggled to choose, even worse than who to pick for favourite Digidestined. And that despite me re-watching the entire season beforehand to help me choose. But by the end of it - I couldn't.

Just like the Digidestined, each of the Digimon are great in their own way. As for the designs, that's of course a matter of taste for each person. So, I put Gomamon and Tentomon on here because of how mega supportive they are to their partners. Each of the Digimon is, but these two more so than the others, encouraging their partners in moments of self-doubt and reassuring them how much they like them. I really like their dynamics with Izzy and Joe. And while I really hate insects and bugs in real life, Tentomon's design and those of his digivolutions have grown on me a bit. And he's too nice not to like, even for insect- and bug-haters. Also, I love Gomamon showing some smarts by getting it and Biyomon out of the Bakemon prison by tricking the guard. Gatomon is on here because I like her design (plus those of all her digivolutions through all seasons of Digimon), backstory, and personality. Agumon and Gabumon are just cool overall, both in designs of their Digivolution trees and their personalities. Okay, though, the entire Koromon pooping everywhere thing is kinda lame. Didn't like that at all.

Now for those I did not include. Patamon... I do love its Digivolution tree designs. But I was severely annoyed how late in the series it evolved ot MagnaAngemon - even after Gatomon evolved to Angewomon, and Gatomon appeared like around episode 40!!! Patamon really got done dirty. I mean, come on, in the second or third last episode of the series is just way, way too late. And yes, MagnaAngemon is crazy strong, but still. I'm sure they could have brought him earlier. Also, I really hate it how much he and T.K. argue. I can understand the time when DemiDevimon tricked T.K., even though I still don't understand how T.K. believed some shady, evil-looking Digimon above the partner who actually sacrificed his bloody life to save everyone. And the arguing afterward, back in the human world? You should think they would be much more harmonious after Angemon sacrificed itself against Devimon. I really don't get it. In Adventure 02 we even learn that T.K. got a near trauma from it! So why all the arguing? Palmon I did not include because out of its Digivolutions, I only really like Lilymon's design. And it is somehow less supportive of Mimi than the other Digimon, like, Palmon is not even trying to keep Mimi from exploiting the Gekomon before Tai and Joe arrive. Her personality in general just doesn't stand out. And Biyomon, I like her Digivolution tree designs, and she sure is loving and cares for Sora. But other than that, her personality doesn't really stand out either.

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.

I love how the conclusion is to enjoy not only one, but both series. If one likes one better than the other, that's just a matter of taste and doesn't mean that one series is better than the other. Both series have their strenghts and their weaknesses (like, Pokémon getting too repetitive over time, or the fact that in Digimon Adventure, we lamentably only see Tai's and Matt's Digimon digivolve to Mega but not the others). Although, I personally am Team Digimon, at least in terms of the anime. But again, I like the message here. Both shows have something to enjoy, and instead of their fandoms fighting over which one is better, why not enjoy both? Not that there has been a huge fight in the internet, but I am sure that a small handful of hardcore fans argued about it with each other.

And thank you so much for sharing this very interesting tidbit, @theanimationalley. ;)

Thank you so much to everyone who voted! n.n And with the winner declared, I am off to start working on Lady of the Takeda. There are two points I need to mention, however.

The first is, that I might actually switch the story from first to third person. Or perhaps just from OC/reader to only OC with a proper name and background and stuff. Because I don't know if I am comfortable to write a story of that lenght without mentioning the MC's name at least once. Would feel so unnatural. If you want, you can leave a comment on what you prefer, first or third person, but it will be an OC now. I will include a brief character overview before starting the chapters, because there will be differences to the MC of the games.

Secondly, on the side, I will be working a bit on Rose of the East, just with a lesser priority. But I will make some thoughts on the story, and if I have a flow of ideas, I will work on the chapters themselves. Or at least getting chapter 1 finished and polished until I am content with it. Cause I am rather eager to write a historical story set in the Sengoku (as close to correct as I can get it compared to IkeSen).

So, thanks to everyone again, and keep looking forward to chapter 1 of Lady of the Takeda in January! Cheers!

LONGFIC INTEREST CHECK

So, there are several longfics that I have started working on. Talking about stories that are most likely gonna reach light novel lenght. And I like each idea equally. However, I think I need to focus on one at a time. Otherwise I might get nowhere. So, I would like to ask you guys what you would be most interested in. Here's a description of each.

Lady of the Takeda (Ikemen Sengoku)

Set after the end of Shingen's route and is set in the I-perspective of either an OC or reader. Just because there's peace between the Takeda and Oda doesn't mean that nothing's gonna happen. And being THE lady of a clan like the Takeda brings its very own trials with it.

Rose of the East (Saint Seiya x Sailor Moon crossover)

This one is set in medieval Japan, shortly before the country shut its borders to the rest of the world. Albafica is a Swede who by circumstances gets stranded there. However, he meets Makoto Kino, and love blossoms between them. However, Japan's anti-foreigner stance at that time doesn't make it exactly easy for them.

Inkmaster (Naruto modern AU)

Ino stumbles into Sai's tattoo shop one day, determined to get one. However, she found more than only a tattoo. And there is more to the pale tattooist than meets the eye.

Angel of Winter (Bleach angel AU)

I have already written over 10 chapters for this. My plan now is to do a quick overhaul, include what I forgot to include and then to repost it and also finally finish it. It is a HitsuKarin story set in an angel AU, where the characters are angels/nephilim instead of Shinigami.

I will keep working on other fics too, but with these big ones, it might be a good idea to focus on one. So here's a poll to see what you guys would be most eager to read. n.n They can be found on my AO3 account. If necessary, just ask for the link and I will send it to you. Am curious to see what you're going to vote on!

Sagittarius weeks are back!

My sincerest apologies for the tardiness of posting this. It's been a crazy year. And I wasn't even sure if I want to do them. But last year they already were on hiatus, and I don't want to wait another year. So here you go - Sagi weeks are back, baby! Feel free to participate, wether written or drawn, and it doesn't matter if you don't manage to do all of them. I don't even know if I myself manage to do them all. Would be nice though.

On that topic, sorry that there are a couple of repeats. But I properly want to participate in my own weeks, so I will keep bringing back some words until then.

Here are the lists. Have fun!
