Sit Down, Shut Up X Digimon AU
I'M BACK WITH ANOTHER DIGIMON AU!
Honestly, the 'I am going to create an crossover that is so doesn't make sense' image sums this up nicely regarding niche special interests and hyperfixations.
Either way, for those of you who aren't aware, Sit Down, Shut Up is a 2009 animated sitcom created by Mitchell Hurwitz, the creator of Arrested Development. While it is generally thought of being either a 'you love it or you hate it' show, it has a special place in my heart and despite its raunchy/lewd humor, I find it strangely comforting to watch.
And because I've been getting back into both Digimon and Sit Down, Shut Up as of late, it is only natural that my brain has the 'genius' idea of combining the two. It started with the innocuous question of 'What would the cast be if they were Digimon?' which is something I've asked for multiple other fandoms as well, such as Pepper Ann, Braceface, and Fillmore! to name a few.
I don't have much of a plot super specific to the show in a Digimon setting, but I do have an overall plot which I tend to use in most of my Digimon x (show) AUs involving the 'Digital World' being a near copy of the human/real world, with monsters having jobs, children, school, that sort of thing. All without knowing they're living in a simulation. The characters eventually find out they DO live in a simulation by another race foreign to them (humans), and find themselves having to go to the 'real world', where they find themselves facing a brand new threat, the Seven Great Demon Lords; seven powerful creatures, each representing some type of vice, who were created by the humans to purge the simulation and start over.
But some of them have their own interests in mind…
That's the usual scenario I use when 'brainstorming' (haha daydreaming) but with Sit Down, Shut Up I could go for less of the adult 'raunchy humor' everywhere, and instead incorporate more of an intense/edgy feel more geared towards adults with some added adult humor, rather than the moreso 'for kids' I would do for say, a Fillmore! or Pepper Ann Digimon AU.
Because it's eight champion-level (unless stated) adult Digimon who work in a digi-school and can barely tolerate one another, with some tolerated less than others. Then, everything they've known to be true is revealed to be a lie and they're forced to team up with those same people and kinda try to maybe understand them?
Now, I could see petty drama and 'canon-typical behavior/adult humor' at first being the norm, (kind of like how the sitcom only got thirteen episodes, which is usually when a Digimon season is still lighthearted. Unless you're Ghost Games that is. RIP Bokomon) but then getting Knight Of Cerberus'd and becoming significantly darker. Kind of like what Bojack pulled off, with the perfect mix of adult humor and a meaningful message.
You're probably wondering by now, what did my brain answer when asked that fateful question? Well, here's the Digimon I decided would fit and their lines! Rookie/Child forms are just here for reference, all are at Champion/Adult level unless otherwise stated.
Larry: Lopmon - Turuiemon - Antylamon (Deva) - Cherubmon (Virtue) (Can also become Vice if shit hits the fan)
Miracle: Terriermon - Gargomon - Rapidmon - MegaGargomon (May change Rapidmon and MegaGargomon if I find suitable mons)
Ennis: Elecmon (Violet) - Leomon - GrapLeomon - BanchoLeomon (Ennis is normally a GrapLeomon because I thought it would be fitting to have him at such a high level due to how 'great' he thinks he is and how he'd be himbo material if he wasn't so… Ennis)
Stuart: Guilmon - Growlmon - WarGrowlmon - Gallantmon/Megidramon (I thought Guilmon's/Growlmon's naivety was a nice fit for Stuart, along with the fact that they can and will fuck you up, e.g. Megidramon as an alternate digivolution)
Helen: Tsukaimon - Saberdramon - LadyDevimon - Star Beelmon
Andrew: Kotemon - Dinohyumon - Kyukimon - SlashAngemon
Willard: Piximon. Nobody knows much of his past, and frankly, they don't really care.
Sue: Haven't actually decided yet LMFAO.

annabeth as a gf is literally the embodiment of only i’m allowed to make fun of him
like if percy says something stupid, she’s the first one to call him an idiot. (sometimes accompanied by a loving eye roll, more often accompanied by a laugh and kiss). she can do it because 1) she doesn’t actually think he’s stupid. she’s seen him do some absolutely brilliant things that have saved their lives. she respects him immensely for his intelligence. and 2) she knows that he knows she doesn’t actually think he’s dumb. he quite likes it when she makes fun of him. plus, he loves how smart she is, and he isn’t threatened by it. so she can call him an idiot and make fun of him as much as she wants. she always has and she always will. he finds it comforting. in their own unique percabeth way, it’s one of the main ways she shows him affection.
but if literally anyone else calls him an idiot, or tells him something he said/asked was stupid, she feels her gut twist in anger. she immediately defends what he said and justifies it as a smart and valid comment/question, and then shoots the absolute most clever and utterly brutal insult toward the person who called him stupid. she destroys every ounce of self-confidence they had just seconds ago
don’t you dare call her seaweed brain stupid.

Stuart: Orange juice is the superior beverage because it makes your tongue feel like you ate a bunch of ants which reminds me of my childhood when I would put ants in my mouth and eat them except this time it tastes good too.
Miracle: Hey, Stuart, I think you’re probably allergic to citrus?
Ennis: Is this not what oj is supposed to make your tongue feel like-
Andrew: Every time I tell someone about my potato allergy they go “oh that sucks I can’t imagine not eating fries or mashed potatoes!” and im like oh rest assured nether god nor the devil himself could stop me from trebucheting hot spoonfuls of starchy face-swelling throat-itching good shit into my dumb as hell gaping potato receptacle.
Helen: Andrew, I’m still not over the fact that you thought the potato sweats were A Thing.
Andrew: I simply assumed we were all willing to suffer for our passions.
Miracle: Did you know that if your mouth itches when you eat kiwis, it is not from hairs left over on the fruit after you peel it? I didn’t until I was about 26 or so!
Helen: Confusingly, pineapple is supposed to feel like that, the damn thing is attempting to digest you right back.
Ennis: Numb lips are not part of the intended experience of peanut butter, apparently.
Sue: yALL-
Larry: Are we just gonna ignore the part where Stuart says he ate ants?

Sue: Okay, there are two teachers in the running for promotion to head of class; the slutty one and the stupid one!
*everyone stares at Sue in excitement*
Sue: Oh, might want to narrow it down. Miracle and Ennis.
Ennis: YES! I'm the slutty one!
*Later*
Willard: I'm the longest-serving member of staff and I demand that you tell me why I was not put on that short-list!
Sue: Because you're stupid.
*Larry nods.*
Willard: Thank you! Was that so hard?
