I went to a Asian grocery store yesterday and I saw two white girls freaking out over pocky "Omg look they have pocky!!" Omg Asian store has Asian snacks š±
I just wanna talk about the friendship dynamic of the 02 gang in both dub and sub
When I first watched it in the dub I found it odd how their friendship was not really much of a friendship, it felt odd how they exaggerated their personalities and even trash Daisuke for no reason, to be honest their friendship didnāt even feel like a friendship. In all honesty I felt like the only one who actually liked Daisuke for who he was in the dub was Ken :/
But the sub, it felt like an actual friendship, especially with the small banter here and there but not over the top like the dub and they actually got along nicely with one another. The ālove triangleā between Daisuke, Takeru and Hikari felt more ambiguous and it wasnāt both Takeru and Hikari being jerks about Daisukeās feelings like how the dub made them, it felt refreshing to see after having the disappointment of watching the 02 dub.
Just watched the 7th Digimon Movie aka Island of Lost Digimon and I noticed that when everyone(Tomoki, Junpei, Takuya and the Digimon) fell in the river it was only Takuya who caught a cold while everyone else was fine, so a small headcanon popped into my head that Takuya can get sick quite easily or gets sick easily from cold temperatures because of him being so used to heat because of being the wielder of the fire sprits and all
I will never forget when Taiki, Tagiru and Yuu fucking illegally crossed boarders via DigiQuartz just to visit Nene in Hong Kong
TAIKI WHAT WERE YOU THINKING AJEJOAJ
Strength: we are alien fuckers first human second
Silence: we really arenāt
Strength: stfu Silence you legit cannot talk, you literally are the alien.
Listen, I will forever accept Takuya as the shortest of the group(Tomoki doesnāt count as heās younger than the rest) as canon and no one can stop me. The fucker is literally shorter than Izumi and while yes I know itās 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
People who infantilize characters with trauma, I immediately donāt trust
I hate it when the happy ending for characters with trauma is that they get into a relationship with someone, getting into a relationship doesnāt just suddenly erase the traumatic memories and experiences.
Trauma isnāt something that just goes away because someone now loves and cares about you, sure it may hurt less but itās still there at the back of your mind, so itās very upsetting when a character is suddenly okay now that theyāre in a relationship. ā¹ļø
Also, I donāt like when people make it seem like the other person understands their suffering, because no they donāt. They can sympathize sure, but they cannot understand the pain and horrors they went through. This is why a ship from a current fandom Iām in is a NOTP of mine, itās because of the fact that this dynamic is literally the whole thing with that pairing.
Rewatching the first few episodes of 02 in the sub makes me realize how much I fucking hate their dub voices š
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 Iām 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
