kintatsujo:WHOOOOOO THIS TOOK SO LONG TO FIGURE OUT ALL THE THINGSThanks to wizqevelynart for the assistance (that is, listening to me whine about the issues I was having until I solved them on my own)Basically this is one of those ones that the plot is like, BAM BAM BAM clicking into place and I sort of wish I had time to write it?But some reasoning on who gets what Crests seems to be in order:Yugi is Kindness because, um, seriously. And while I know usually in Digimon the leader gets Courage because formula, one of the things that made Yugioh sort of unusual as a shonen series when it started out was that Yugi was built much more like the hero’s sidekick and Joey was built like the hero. Certainly it’s what got MY attention. So yeah, I’m not giving him the traditional “main character” Crest.Kaiba is Friendship because 1. It embarrasses him and 2. Seriously the characters most likely to end up with Friendship are all huge asshats who don’t know how to make friends. I honestly suspect that’s why they end up with Friendship in the first place.Téa is Hope for the same reason they gave her the Magician of Faith in the one episode. She’s good at Hope.Tristan as Reliability is hopefully obvious. He’s a reliable guy.Ryou gets Knowledge because his role during Duelist Kingdom was to explain everything. XDMai gets Sincerity because, again, it’s a concept she has to work with and has trouble with, that is, believing in the sincerity of others and being sincere with others. (I think the Digital World either has a sense of irony or likes to teach people life lessons.)Valon and then Joey get Courage because, well, ha, Valon is a literal gogglehead and Joey is a more typical shonen protag, and I think that says enough about my reasons.Alister gets Love and passes it on to Mokuba. I like to hope the reasoning is fairly clear there.Rafael gets Light because Invid said so when we first discussed the topic, and Serenity inherits it from him BECAUSE SERENITY IS MY GIRL AND ALSO REASONS*coughs*Also Dartzmon has those odd markings on his face because if you pay attention most human-looking Digimon have something or another on their face. “Eatosmon.” *giggles* (Part of the reason not everyone’s partners are there is because I’ve basically decided all of the ancient characters will be Digimon like Dartz and Atem, but haven’t designed all of them yet or matched them to partners yet? Except that Téa gets Mana.)Also I keep cracking up at the idea that Noa ends up in the Digital World and just sort of harasses them.Tag for this is #King of the Digital World because I have lost the creativity to deal with this right now and also it works to hint at further bits of plot I didn’t get to. -- source link
