Digimon's " To Sora " reaction
me: *has SEVERE social anxiety that, despite my tendency for YELLING A LOT in tumblr tags, leaves me withdrawing into myself and disappearing from communicating with others due to fears of becoming hurt and overwhelmed, which has also happened WAY too many times in the past for comfort*
me: *is ALSO autistic which has a lot of the SAME "becoming overwelmed" issues re: social interaction, etc.*
me: *watches Digimon Adventure (Last Evolution Kizuna)'s "To Sora" short story film*
me: Wow I wonder why I'm relating to this sO HARD
ALSO me: *knows Toei is probably just trying to give a genuine REASON now as to why Sora can't be given some 90%+ of the screentime in Kizuna, because, surprise surprise, there are 8 kids in the main cast and 12 otherwise, even MORE if you include other recent Chosen like Tri's Meiko*
ALSO ME: " THIS IS 5 MILLION TIMES BETTER THAN HER 5 OR SO MOMENTS OF SCREENTIME IN "REVENGE OF DIABOROMON" T B H ", where she mostly sTOOD OFF TO THE SIDE and only got to show up in support at the VERY end, or OWG where she was basically left out from fighting entirely because she was upset at Taichi about a hairclip
ME: I MEAN DID YOU SEE THAT GORGEOUS FLOWER ARRANGEMENT AT THE END TITLED " FRIENDS " WHICH IS SUCH A HUGE CONTRAST IN COMPARISON
ME: anyway people will still undoubtedly try to claim otherwise but "To Sora" is good

Further original commentary under ‘read more’!
A golem, {in Jewish texts and Jewish folklore} is a clay creature that has been magically brought to life. The name comes from the Hebrew word “golem,” which means something incomplete or unfinished, like an embryo.
In popular legend, however, the golem became a kind of folk hero. Tales of mystical rabbis creating life from dust abounded, particularly in the Early Modern period, and inspired such tales as Frankenstein and “The Sorcerer’s Apprentice.” Sometimes the golem saves the Jewish community from persecution or death, enacting the kind of heroism or revenge unavailable to powerless Jews. Often, however, Jewish folktales about the golem tell what happens when things go awry — when the power of life-force goes astray, often with tragic results.
The classic narrative of the golem tells of how Rabbi Judah Loew of Prague (known as the Maharal; 1525-1609) creates a golem to defend the Jewish community from antisemitic attacks. But eventually, the golem grows fearsome and violent, and Rabbi Loew is forced to destroy it.
(Legend tells that the golem remains in the attic of the Altneushul in Prague, ready to be reactivated if needed; this legend reappeared in Michael Chabon’s The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier & Clay). Likewise in Paul Wegener’s expressionist film The Golem (1920), the golem is a brutish creature whose powers are all-too-easily turned to destructive ends.
This is, of course, a perfect encapsulation of the same anxiety that underlies so much of the mystical speculation about demons, dybbuks, ghosts, and golems: The power of life is so strong, that it brings both promise and terror.

BONUS:
OPs commentary:
Before talking about in-depth or ‘reviewing’ this episode, I’d very much like if the fanbase could keep in mind not only the said folklore that blatantly inspired
this Digimons’ design and canonical lores,
but also be careful in their commentaries about this episode as a result.
They are a very specifically Jewish folklore, and within our storytelling tradition are pretty complex creatures created to protect, but with potential for destruction. Often golems are taken out of that context, by people who are not Jewish, to be used just as monsters.
For many folks that isn’t an issue, but for others (myself included) that feels a bit uncomfortable, as the (perhaps unintended) message can be seen as
“creatures that protect Jewish people are really monsters.”
[Keeping this information] in mind and being AWARE of the history of the golem in our folklore will prevent issues relevant to handling this topic.

Maybe this is a
DREAM.
An endless dream in a world of ... nothingness
but some of those

FIGHT
with everything they

even when they're LOSING
HAVE LOST

FUN

Digimon Adventure - REPEATverse Fic Ch. 13
( I couldn’t think of anything specific to do for this day’s prompt, so,
compiles a bunch of AUs verses Aesthetic-like gifs with implied headcanons )
[ and also, a ficverse!Homeostasis quote featuring my “writing” / inspirations ]
( note: if you don’t want to bother with fic/my writing,
you may prefer trying the AMVs verse [ it has cool music ?!...] ! )
[ + once upon a time, Oct. 25th, 2017, one day after my birthday. yes,
I made a Taishiro Fan-soundtrack using THIS particular track as inspiration,
remembered a certain other favorite series of mine
had a ton of cool/actually fitting-for-the-themes/plot music,
realized “ HEY I MAYBE CAN ACTUALLY MAKE AN AMV TO THAT SONG ”,
and things kind of ... uh ... spiraled as I came up with too many AUs to list
+ EPILOGUE-ERA AUs / HEADCANONS ESPECIALLY INCLUDED ]
... And, you know, I don’t regret that I’ve worked on this 30k+ WORDS/AMVs.
Even if only got a couple reviews initially, (I know, my writing is poor)
[ there’s reasons for that that would be way too time-consuming to explain ]
I met some amazingly kind fans via it
I’ve received other nice comments since, too,
honestly, after all the hard work/time I poured into those self-indulgent AMVs,
I can only say to those who encouraged, supported, and chatted with me,
( me, a person with autism + severe anxiety
who was terrified of posting anything with my deeper thoughts, )
those who gave it a chance,
thank you so much.
I’m genuinely SO HAPPY if my writing/fanworks could help ANYONE.
to be honest I wrote more like 50k+ total words including extra shortfic bits
but I got cold feet about posting the rest of them for now, I’m sorry...
maybe someday I’ll post them to a more private/personal space
where I can actually control (again) who follows me & interacts
& follows my rules because ... yeah, some other people didn’t do this
there were numerous times I nearly gave up contributing Adventure contents
including right away, from the very beginning, especially after seeing
/ continuing to see all the
anti Adventure/Tri/canon Adv!Chosen hate/over excessive criticisms, and ...
I’m glad I didn’t
