I saw the movie last night. It was a mess but I love these kids so much.

(I'll never get over Davis blushing the way he did about Ken... Never....)

@digimon02countdown Day 7 - What do you love about Digimon Adventure 02?

While my attachment to Digimon started and persisted due to my love to the original Adventure, there are still quite a few things about 02 that always kept me around. I have already hinted at it in previous posts; the relationships, similarities and support between the "older" and "new" Chosen Children, the concept of the multiverse, Jogress evolution (also the fact that my OTP are absolute dads to the kids)... But I'd say the most important aspect for me is the bonding between the characters. And nothing signifies this more for me, nothing is as outstanding, significant and vibrant - as the development of the relationship between Daisuke and Ken.

I would argue that, overall, no relationship gets that much focus, that much visible positive development than these two. And yes, upon getting asked, I will never deny that, in my opinion, there is a sense of romantic tension between them too, but in this post, I just want to write about how fascinating, soothing and beautiful their bond is to me in general.

Their initial set-up is, once again, that of rivals. That is a theme Digimon has always been playing with - but I'd say no other series threw that trope for a loop like this before. On one hand, there is the fact that they're both playing football, even ending up facing each other at a point in the series where Ken is still considered to be that perfect, untouchable genius, good at and with everything, while Daisuke is considered a thick-headed knucklehead, goodhearted, but brash and not really talented in many areas - and yet, he still admired Ken at this point. Then of course, there is the fact that they're on opposing ends, enemies in the Digital World, having brutal, cruel fights against one another as Chosen Child vs. Digimon Kaiser - until the spell breaks, with the Crest of Miracles breaking Ken's curse.

And from now on, the boy - who's responsible for his own Digimon partner's death and the suffering of so many others - will have to face the aftermath of what he's done, dealing with guilt and self-esteem issues, feeling unworthy and unlovable.

But then there is Daisuke - the only one who immediately wants to give him the chance to atone for what he's done. He is not forgiving him right away, but wants him to be able to make up for everything - and with kindness and the persistence to not let him sacrifice himself and die, they achieve the unthinkable: Their Digimon combine, their hearts pound in sync. They seem to be connected in ways that make Daisuke get excited - and scare the heck out of Ken. He thought he didn't have anything or anyone else but his reborn Digimon partner and family, and now there's this boy he used to fight, he used to be enemies with... Who simply wants to be his friend, who wants them to be "partners" and work together.

It's confusing, it's scary. While Daisuke is sure that they're meant to be and fight next to each other, it takes time for Ken to feel ready to take the steps towards him, the others, forming bonds, friendships. But Daisuke being Daisuke makes it so much easier for him to let his walls down, slowly but steadily enabling him to show his gentle and soft side, starting to trust and rely on him as much as he does in return.

And Daisuke? Daisuke is displaying a sense of confidence and comfort that we rarely saw before - he tended to be so focused on impressing others, covering up his own insecurities with cockiness. But his bond with Ken makes all his natural kindness and straightforwardness come through easily. He may appear more simple-minded at first glance, but his heart has the right priorities - and he'll do what it takes to save Ken, from himself, from darkness, helping him to be his true self.

Daisuke doesn't doubt their connection for a second - and that's why it's so important that Ken is still able to shake him. That he has an impact on him like no other. He will give Ken all the time he needs to face his demons, to do the things that are uncomfortable to him - and he'll be by his side all the way.

They are partners, they've got each other's backs. And as long as they don't lose sight of themselves and each other, it will always be this way.

Dubbed Ken canonically thinks Davis is pretty lol

#ken ichijouji #daisuke motomiya #wormmon #chibimon #demiveemon #daiken #I've seen episode 8 at least half a dozen times #and I'd literally never noticed that ken calls Davis pretty boy as like an insult or whatever #the japanese version just has him threatening the other kids and saying they'll die if davis doesn't make a decision #and then the english version is just “better act fast pretty boy” like?? #for what reason?? XD #anyway Davis lives for the attention and Ken is an awkward mess and I love that for them <3

Pairing: Daisuke Motomiya/Ken Ichijouji

Summary: Ken and Daisuke are out here playing 4D chess... but perhaps not on the same board. (This story consists entirely of group chat images.)

Notes: This thing is sort of a test to see if my readers like this format for fics. It's somewhat difficult to make, but please let me know if my efforts were worth it!

4 ships from 4 fandoms that are very dear to me and have influenced my art journey massively!

I took requests from 4 fandoms for ships and ended up with these! The fandoms will be in the tags respectively!

I tried to remove myself from my AUs and put them all back in their canon designs as much as possible! Daiken are wearing their canon soccer uniforms from episode 8 with the addition of Daisuke’s iconic goggles!!

@digimon02countdown Day 2 - JOGRESS/DNA-DIGIVOLUTION

In terms of "favourite bonding moments", I know this scene has been talked about a million times before and we obviously know Digimon has never been meant to be a series about romantic relationships whatsoever... But this - and in general the way Daisuke is referring to, talking about and to Ken - is still one of the most romantically coded things I have ever seen in anime to this date and it fills my heart with warmth. I still remember having watched it for the first time on German TV and even though I was only 11 years old or so, I still felt like this bond between them was special.
