Try all the gay ships in a show that made everyone straight. Or incest. This fandom is frustrating lol

I mean if you genuinely like Digimon and Voltron, it's ok. But it's ok if you don't. 💖 It's no big deal. We can be friends without it

X-Men: Evolution OC for @guardiandua91!

Meet Faris Wolf, an Indonesian-Cherokee member of the X-Men!

Faris' family originally hailed from Georgia, where he spent much time out in the woods learning to hunt and survive in the wild. Unlike his numerous younger siblings and older sister, he was born with amber eyes, which were sensitive to the light and thus necessitated special sunglasses for Faris to wear outdoors. Inside tended to be fine for him, but he kept them close to hand for when it either got unbearable or he had to make a quick run outdoors.

Eventually, his father landed a better job in construction in New York, practically right in Bayville. Packing up their things, they left, and Faris comforted his kid brothers and sisters about the new life they were going to have up north. Although he would miss Georgia, Faris was rather eager to move, as he'd been feeling a bit constrained in their old home recently.

Once they'd reached Bayville and began moving in, Faris took to "prowling about town", as the family lovingly called it. He couldn't help it: it was new, there was lots to see, and it kept him close to his natural huntsman roots. In short order, Faris learned the ins and outs of the town, memorized the streets, and even hung around Bayville High and became acquainted with the students.

The first he met was Jean Grey, who boarded at the Xavier Institute for Gifted Youngsters.

They bonded pretty fast, and her sportsmanship meshed nicely with his outdoorsman nature. Soon, Faris enrolled at the school, and quickly ended up on the football team - though, to his confusion, quarterback Duncan Matthews was aggressive. An aggression that slowly started to become reciprocated when he saw the man's attitude toward Jean...

But Faris is nothing if not restrained and relaxed, and knowing that Jean could take care of herself, he let it slide.

But he couldn't get over the other man's behavior. And then, things started happening to Faris.

He began dreaming of hunting at night, seemingly on all fours. He'd start awake in the early morning, in a cold sweat and feeling his mouth dry. His muscles seemed to feel stretched and strained, as if he'd run a marathon when he was only practicing for the football matches or otherwise playing around outside. His body and limbs felt too big and too small at the same time, and his nails itched while his skin tickled from some unseen fur brushing against it.

And his eyes began to react to everything. One moment, he couldn't stand the brightness of a stray beam of light, and then the next, he didn't flinch at being out in the sun without his shades.

Faris needed to clear his head, and the only way he knew how to do that was to do what always calmed him down:

A late night hunt.

After getting permission and receiving his new state permit, Faris grabbed his gear, loaded his rifle, and set out in the woods a few miles out from Bayville. With a full moon shining above him and cool winds pushing against him, it was a ripe time for a kill.

And deep within him, something stirred.

Faris moved like the wind, tracking an eight point deer and preparing to fire. But then, something in him made him lower the rifle silently. He crept forward on hands and knees, the prosthetic limb snapping off as his clothes ripped, causing the deer to bolt. With a bellowing roar, Faris burst after the deer, fur replacing skin, hands and feet traded out for paws, a tail snapping out behind him, and claws extending to deliver the finishing blow before sharp canines sank into its neck, cutting off the deer's bleat as instinct took over.

Jean awoke at that moment, hearing thoughts reminiscent of Faris' before amber, feline eyes - so much like Faris', yet so animalistic - flashed through her mind.

She went to consult the Professor, only to find Wolverine there, already clothed and looking antsy. When she asked what was going on, she learned that Logan had just returned from some late night business when he'd heard a tiger's roar. There were no zoos in Bayville, nor were exotic pets allowed. Which could only mean one thing:

Bayville had a new mutant in town - one who didn't know how to control his or her powers.

Awwwww I love him, so cool, thank you!

Why I Dislike Digimon Tamers

Okay, so I was discussing this with an acquaintance who was struggling to understand why I dislike Digimon Tamers so I'll put it here. Digimon Tamers went out of its way to be graphic about things that didn't need to be done graphically.

Example 1: Jeri becomes suicidal during the whole D-Reaper arc.

The reasons are different - but we've seen suicidal characters before. I will use Ken as an example instead of Yamato because that's a whole other can of worms. Ken wanted to die to stop the reactor - he didn't care about his own life - we didn't need to see a physical manifestation of him trying to strangle himself, we were shown it in other ways. Jeri trying to strangle herself was way too overkill and unnecessary.

Example 2: Normalising killing digimon

To me, a good show needs to have a difference between the hero and the villain. This show really didn't. Like Digimon Kaiser didn't mind killing digimon who got in the way of Chimeramon and he destroyed thousands of homes. Wormmon died because of him too. But he was a villain at that point in time. In Digimon Tamers, even characters like Guilmon absorb the data of the digimon they defeat to gain more power so then what makes Beelzemon evil if he does the same to Leomon? Why are Takato and Guilmon considered the heroes and Beelzemon is considered the villain.

Example 3: Toxic parents

Toxic parents is another way that Tamers tried to be dark but we've already seen that with Ken and Sam. And with Ken, it was even worse than Jeri because Jeri only had an abusive father. Ken had an abusive father, mother and older brother. Like Jeri, Ken blamed himself for Sam's death believing it was his fault and while Jeri became miss damsel in distress, Ken turned into the villain - cause villains are made, not born.

All in all, the reason I dislike Digimon Tamers is it did not do anything that Adventure 02 hadn't done already. People call Adventure 02 the lighthearted season but I would say its darker than Digimon Tamers without trying too hard.

You can refer my account, Dua. Digimon is always the topic for many discussions, and to easy to keep track, I will quote what she wrote in her post. What was quote will be like this:

Alright, let's start.

I must correct. If you dislike, you dislike. The number of reasons really don't affect it. I will just consider and analyze Dua's reasons.

Technially, Tamers and the infamous episode 13 of Digimon Adventure 02 are both having the same writing style by Konaka. To provide context, he is one of the extremists with doubtful thinking and many problems after 2000s. I suppose many know about his infamous Tamers reading relative to political and paranoid, you can find sources on the Internet.

Even though you can consider Tamers as his least personal-affected products, you can still see Konaka's specific writing, which leads to a quite dark tone in the show (almost all Tamer dubs fan don't really realize how graphic tone it is thanks to the American dub jokes.)

As a heavy sci-fi, personal-express show, I think the level of graphic is suitable for this season. If it was for any others season, I will protest, but it's just go with Tamers' theme.

It's a bit difficult to keep track because she used both sub and dub names. Tamers was different from Adventure:

But you can see how the difference it is, Tamers doesn't have the same character deployment.

So what is this relevant to the above reason?

There's only one thing not good about the way Adventure write characters: almost all children at that age won't be that altruistic.

Tamers can be claimed as Adventure's thought experience: it gives out many "if" of Adventure. What if?

And so on.

Let's go back to the topic. Actually, much more people are suicidal by a very selfish reason. Not all will sacrifice themselves to redempt. Juri is an example to how people in real life have suicidal thinking.

Sometimes, people are so stubborn that only graphic description can help them realize that is not good, and you must go forward. At the same time, Juri's personality is not like Ken so much that it will feel weird if you write the suicidal situation diffrently.

Killing in Adventure is about survival, and in 02 is to reduce the damage and injury to the world. I don't see much difference in Tamers. Beside Ruki who intentionally hunt Digimon (and only for the early part of the show) and Ryo (because Cyberdramon basically have ZeedMilleniumon inside him), it's not like they absorb all Digimon: In the end, the trio and their Digimon compromise by loading Digimon who challenge them and are obviously carrying murderous intent themselves.

And I don't think force a Digimon to restart from their baby state with their memories and mental injury is much better than just absorb their data...

The main problem with Beelzumon's action is that Leomon completely doesn't challenge or cause harm to him or anyone, not like wild Digimon. Beelzebumon selfishly cared only about his own strength knowing that this would traumatize Juri and all of the other Tamers who had seen him as their friends, so that is considered as villain. And that particular episode absolutely doesn't state that Takato and Guilmon's actions as heroic.

Just because the line between hero and villain in Tamer is thinner doesn't cause in the lack of it.

Reuse meaningful and impactful situations doesn't mean trying to be dark, right? I don't see anything show that Tamers is trying to be darker than Adventure, as producers of Tamers actually really respect how deep in writing Adventure is.

About why Juri become miss damsel in distress, and Ken turned into the antagonist, it's because... the Kaiser is in the early part of 02. With D-Reaper as an enemy, Juri as a villain will feel like a boring pull for interest. You don't need the bad situations turn you into villain to be acceptably dark.

Like I have presented, Tamers don't need to do something that Adventure and 02 hadn't done. It's just its own season, and that's enough. And besides, Tamers had answered many "if" that fandom may have, and it does tell a meaningiful message about how everyone can be their own heroes in their stories. It's certainly not the best season, but I think these are suitable reasoning.

Say so, you always have right to not like Tamers. I just state suitable responding to the points you raise.

(Adventure and 02 are certainly not lighthearted season, I prefer the term "having positive messages". And if honest, even how cringe or weird it is, I don't assume we can compare darkness between seasons.)

With the presentation, I hope for your counterargument! Goodbye, and have fun!

I didn't want to out your account if you were not comfortable, haha. I would feel bad. I would like to reiterate, I don't mind Tamers being dark - dark is good but I feel it tries too hard to be dark. Jeri trying to strangle herself was not needed to tell us she was suicidal.

The line between the hero and villain is too thin. I mean, I see your point, the digimon Guilmon loaded were bad - but in real life, is it ok to kill a thief? Is it ok to kill someone who is rampaging when you're supposed to only stop them? Impmon's intentions may have been power but this show still normalises killing. Rika tried to do the same thing to Guilmon and the narrative treated it as slightly wrong but not that big of a deal where as when Thomas's actions get Agumon killed, its treated as a big deal. For me, heroes and villains should be different - people always say villains are made, not born but I feel the same can be said for heroes. Devimon killed Angemon but T.K. never swore revenge and he understood even if it traumatised him. In 01 and 02, the line between the hero and villains are clear. The DigiDestined kill only when there is no other choice - because if they don't, they will die.

But why is Jeri's backstory considered darker than Ken's? Ken had it way worse...its just because we didn't graphically see Ken trying to shoot himself or hang himself, we were shown his mental condition. Tamers to me brought nothing new - it just tried too hard. Adventure 02 had so many interesting parts but its treated as the lighthearted season when BlackWargreymon almost killed the 02 chosen.

So I already stated this before, but I’m gonna go ahead and say it again. Go ahead and be whoever or whatever you want to be, as long as you’re not an ass about it.

Vegan: I am a vegan now

Me: Cool. Congrats.

Vegan: People who aren’t vegans are the cause of all the world’s problems.

Me: Look who just lost my support!

– Trans Person: I am Trans

Me: Awesome!

Trans Person: Cis people should be ashamed for being cis.

Me: Bye.

–

Feminist: I am a feminist

Me: good for you. 

Feminist: Kill all men! lol Male tears.

Me: You wanna hang some flyers, because you just lost my support.

Basically, I don’t care what you are, as long as you don’t try to hurt others (mentally or physically) to make yourself feel better. If putting down others is a part of the new you, then I don’t want any part of it.

this post is bad i just haven’t figured out how to word it

It’s “bad” because it holds groups you like responsible for their actions instead of letting them get away with bad, and sometimes oppressive behavior using their label as a shield against criticism.

You do not get a pass on bigotry and hate because you’ve labelled yourself a victim.

There is no label you can apply that makes you immune to being a bully. Add to the fact, those who claim to have no power be exercising a lot of power as of late and people, regular people are sick and tired of the bullshit. Sick and tired of the attitudes. Sick and tired of the double standards. Sick and tired of being held hostage to some Jack dipshit trying to play the worst game of “who’s the narcissist between us?” And expecting if not demanding people kowtow because “I’m black, I’m gay, I’m trans, I’m a woman” you’re a human being and that’s all. The rest is just noise.

Live your life and live it well. You’ll reap what you sew.

This post is bad - yeah its good to be what you want and not be a prick but its also important to stand up to wrong. The world was created the way it was for a reason - being a vegan or feminist isn’t hurting anyone but using it the wrong way can. In Islam, it is about woman empowerment but its also about men protecting their wives, mothers and daughters. However, certain things are also forbidden such as denying things that were created - there are only two genders. Men and women were made to be each other’s soulmate/life partner. Standing up to that is not wrong.

“Feminism isnt hurting anyone”

I mean…I have quite a bit of info that counters that statement.

You can use anything “the wrong way”, but note that “the wrong way” is up to interpretation. The majority in that group could believe their harmful behavior is “the right way”. Entire governments believe this. Entire religions believe this.

Feminism is not exempt. Trans asctivists re not exempt. Vegan activists are not exempt. Even religions lile Islam are not exempt.

You see the post as bad because it criticizes some of the bad in groups you like. But they deserve criticism. All groups deserve criticism for the bad. It helps improve them and makes them something worth supporting.

There are always other alternatives that can dwarf them in popularity if they continue doing bad things and turning people away.

Trans does not exist so it is bad. It's just a delusion

So I already stated this before, but I’m gonna go ahead and say it again. Go ahead and be whoever or whatever you want to be, as long as you’re not an ass about it.

I so feel you on the death.

I can name at least two shows I've seen where they've killed a character to "prove they're serious" when all it does is show how immature the team is by wanting to be viewed as one of the big boys.

Yeah like I'm not against showing death mind you and I love dark things. When I feel it's not trying to be dark. I feel sometimes certain shows try too hard.

Honestly Prime tried too hard to be dark.

Like brutally murdering and zombie-flying Cliffjumper in the premiere was crazy. Dude never did anything wrong in TFP, and while he was a bit of a bloodthirsty barbarian in G1, he knew when to fess up to his mistakes and could laugh about it.

Heck, TFP spent so much screentime just being dark and knitting gritty. We had lighthearted moments here and there, but it started fading away by S2.

Now that I think about it, I wonder if that's why Arcee, Ratchet, and a few other characters/moments were so mean to Smokescreen. He was a ray of sunshine in the show, yet he was basically punished by the writers for either 1 being naive yet competent, or 2 not grasping the dos and don'ts of the show when literally everyone failed to tell him said dos and don'ts.

I won't be surprised if that was the reason. Digimon Tamers makes Henry narratively wrong for being a pacifist when Digimon has always been violence to protect or defend.

Poor Jou does not know how to begin to explain the situation he is in.

The return of the biggest little shit! /affectionate. I know a lot of it is flashback as we catch up on each of the children, but he's working overtime. Good for him.

->Restaurant patrons and staff speak Japanese. ->A handful of the dishes shown appear to also be Japanese ->Only accepts US$.

I don't blame you, Jou. I would be pissed.

You were the one who threw it.

I was serious when I mentioned indentured servitude in my last rewatch post. Anytime I hear paying off a debt that just keeps growing and growing and theoretically you should be protected under the law (no idea what the legalities in the Digital World are. Digitamamon seems to be one of the few capitalistic businesses around), but you're treated like shit, it's the first thing I think of. It is a bit of a stretch, normal indentured servitude is for years. I don't doubt that they would have kept Jou and Yamato there until they were adults.

Oh, that's another thing, child labor.

(I'm also several years post-graduation on classes with this stuff so take my word with caution.)

They are both trying so hard to be considerate. The value of talking to your friends and being honest aahhh...

One screencap does not do well to show how much the poor lad is shaking. I really admire Jou for how he handles his anxiety despite how much shit it gives him. Guy is prepared to go through med school... THEY WILL EAT YOU ALIVE PRECIOUS BEAN! (this is nothing against thinking he can't do it. It's that med school and field can be hell, as conveyed to me by others in my life) He makes a fantastic doctor.

Sora, please, please talk to your friends. They'll love to hear you are all right. Or were even here at all.

You would really have to hate a coworker to mess up so badly to increase the amount of abuse you receive. That is counterproductive. There are better ways to get out of something or convey the message of screw you to the boss without impacting people you work with who you actually like.

Yamato is a way too close to panicking and worry to recognize this though. Oh, and a child, who shouldn't be working at all at this age or knows how this stuff works.

Little brother interrupts break at work: Day immediately 1000x better.

I would not put money on that. You are much too reckless and stubborn.

The dead eyes of evil management.

This is why it's good to have faith in your friends. 👏

Two angry furry boys.

Love how bristling Ikkakumon looks. Put his partner down!!

ALL HAIL THE POWER OF FRIENDSHIP!

Two angry furry boys, except one of them is bipedal now.

Speak for yourself, if he's desperate enough and thinks it is the most productive option, Jou will do anything ❤️.

👏 True 👏 friends 👏 talk 👏 about 👏 their 👏 feelings 👏

"And I would've gotten away with it too, if it weren't for those meddling kids!"

I focused a lot on shit work conditions for this, but I do really like this episode for both Yamato and Jou. They're good kids. Should lay off employment for a bit though xD. Saving the world is enough stress.

Yamato and Jou have such an underrated friendship to be honest. Like don't get me wrong I understand why there's such a huge focus on Taichi and Yamato's friendship but these two feel like they should have had more focus. They both struggle with not being good enough and while Jou is more expressive, a lot of the times their journeys are similar.
