Okay so, I rewatched Frontier again, and this rewatch made me realize how fucked up these kids situations were.
Something that I noticed in this rewatch was how much they managed to still act like kids despite the shit happening around them, in every other season I can understand since it was just the normal “oh save the world!” thing, but in Frontier they literally witness the world around them that they start to consider as their second home literally get absorbed and destroyed. How are they still possibly okay!?
trying to find this 1 fanfic i read a long time ago with 1 of my ships, one of them got kidney stones and the other used it in a ring
I don’t remember what the ship was or what fandom it was written in, but I want to reread it.
I hate it when the happy ending for characters with trauma is that they get into a relationship with someone, getting into a relationship doesn’t just suddenly erase the traumatic memories and experiences.
Trauma isn’t something that just goes away because someone now loves and cares about you, sure it may hurt less but it’s still there at the back of your mind, so it’s very upsetting when a character is suddenly okay now that they’re in a relationship. ☹️
Also, I don’t like when people make it seem like the other person understands their suffering, because no they don’t. They can sympathize sure, but they cannot understand the pain and horrors they went through. This is why a ship from a current fandom I’m in is a NOTP of mine, it’s because of the fact that this dynamic is literally the whole thing with that pairing.
People who infantilize characters with trauma, I immediately don’t trust
Strength: we are alien fuckers first human second
Silence: we really aren’t
Strength: stfu Silence you legit cannot talk, you literally are the alien.
While Tri may not have been a huge favorite of mine, I still found some things I liked about it
One of the things being the “villain”, I really liked Meicoomon and I found it interesting that they used a dark evolution as a villain
The scene with Patamon and Takeru really just ripped my heart in half, it really stung when I watched it
And if the emotional scene between Patamon and Takeru wasn’t enough, the scene were Taichi and Daigo got separated from the others literally stomped on my already hurt heart, I literally just recovered from the scene with Patamon and Takeru and then they had to make Daigo sacrifice himself and even hinted that he died.
Rewatching the first few episodes of 02 in the sub makes me realize how much I fucking hate their dub voices 😭
In the sub Takeru's voice is very nice, I like it a lot and I cannot stand listening to Takeru's dubbed voice when rewatching a clip on YouTube of it, and I don't even like Takeru
Absolutely love Daisuke's subbed voice, his dubbed voice is okay but I absolutely hated how they trashed his character in the dub
Iori had a cute voice and fitted how he was the youngest there instead of the dubbed version where it sounded very forced to sound like a young kid and failing at it, it sounded as if he constantly had smoke in his throat in the dub
Miyako, I have mixed feelings but I already like her voice better than I did in the dub, I actually hated how they handled her character in the dub so hopefully the sub will give me something to enjoy about Miyako
Also have mixed feelings for Hikari since I don't like what they did with her in 02(in my opinion she was better in Adventure) but her voice is cute
Ken(or the Kaiser in this case since I haven't gotten far enough to get to the normal Ken), I really liked it but imma wait to see if I still like it or nah cause I’m feeling indecisive if I like it or not rn
Also as an honorable mention, absolutely LOVED Tailmon's voice, it really gave off a wise mature mentor vibe to it which really fits Tailmon compared to the voice they gave Gatomon. It also really made sense considering what happened in her past, especially the abuse she went through with Vamdemon
Listen, I will forever accept Takuya as the shortest of the group(Tomoki doesn’t count as he’s younger than the rest) as canon and no one can stop me. The fucker is literally shorter than Izumi and while yes I know it’s most likely because of animation errors and not knowing the scaling of the characters but I always have the fucking image of Takuya being shorter than Izumi and Kouji stuck in my head
