🗡️🍔 burgermon specific!!

{pre-adoption/prime 007n7} {i accidentally cooked an AU for this actually WHOOPSS}

i dont have a lot for this section actually.. hm. im gonna go under the assumption of them having some sort enemies to lovers sort of trist if they were to fall in love atp in the timeline

[it's worth mentioning that i hc my telamon to act a bit more like cuppocino's.. by that i mean he's not too different from when he actually becomes shedletsky, js more insensitive, workaholic and such. basically im tryna combine telamon's fanon characterisation w current shed's characterisation for my take of telamon]

007n7 is good at evasion. ridiculously so. so naturally this frustrates telamon (+ other admins, but telamon's somehow usually the one available to chase after him)

insert a bunch of totally straight and mormon interactions here, some romantic tension there, and.. uh oh theyre in love

they don't actually get together for obvious reasons, telamon is not exactly willing to throw away his life to become a fugitive for 007n7 even though he really, really wants to (reasonable tbh. guys its fine to make sacrifices for the people you love but DONT SACRIFICE TOO MUCH OF YOURSELF TO THE POINT WHERE IT ACTIVELY HARMS YOU thats the mod lee says for today ✌️)

eventually 007n7 finds c00lkidd on his doorstep and realises he can't really lead his old lifestyle anymore. so he js ghosts telamon without saying anything LLLLLLLLLLL

telamon naturally feels Feelings and Emotions bcs of this (like HATRED 😱) and does not like this. cue 1x1x1x1/hj

{ok MORE CANON ADJACENT PRE-ADOPTION 007N7 HCS THIS TIME (these ones lead more into them meeting AFTER 007n7 retires)}

telamon would often get pretty curious about 007n7. not exactly love or infatuation but something close enough to it

prime!007n7 on the other hand could not care less about telamon (or any admin really) lol. #hefellfirstbuthefellharder amirite gng 🥹

007n7 probably joke flirted w telamon during their encounters. but telamon is literally based off of the guy who finds gay smut of himself and his coworkers (despite being taken and presumably straight) and goes "hot" so i think he'd take it in stride in a similar fashion and even flirt back sometimes lololol

{post-adoption/retirement 007n7 meet AU}

i like the headcanon that in their 'first meeting' (that went somewhere at least), telamon was about to ban 007n7 and/or c00lkidd for messing around w the pizza place? but was moved by how he tried to protect c00lkidd even in his assumed last moments of freedom

if you've seen that one fic laav_vender wrote its literally that tbh.. i spent all the budget on the first part of this section sorry

🍗🍔 chickenburger specific!!

{pre-forsaken meet AU ig?}

compared to the post adoption burgermon meeting, chickenburger meeting is ridiculously casual. think "we met at burger king" casual lololol

hmmm im thinking of how they escalated from friends (and eventually lovers) from there lol

ok so im thinking. they kept meeting each other a lot in public spaces and somehow shedletsky charmed his way into 007n7's heart which is how they eventually became friends

c00lkidd would like shedletsky a lot tbh lol

after c00lkidd goes missing, shedletsky tries his best but shit begins to fall apart? n7 is beginning to slip mentally

however, the worst doesn't happen until shed gets forsaken too

its atp that n7 commits.

{during forsaken (canon adjacent.. well as canon adjacent as chickenburger can be lol)}

i like to think being one of the 'admins' (even tho hes retired by then lol), and therefore considered a leader in the team, he was also one of the ones checking on n7 from time to time alongside guest (and sometimes chance)

obviously builderman and dusekkar also talked to n7 but out of their entire sub-clique, it was shedletsky talking to n7 the most

which is how they became closer and eventually fall for each other! ^^

i dont have a lot for this section but uhhh GO CHECK OUT PUPPYCEL'S COMIC THEY SENT IN THE ASKBOX ITS SO SWEET AND FITS THEIR DYNAMIC

{post-forsaken}

chickenburger coparenting.. 🥹🥹

i feel like they wouldn't live together at first (duhh) with 007n7 not necessarily being 'stable' enough to parent (based off a fic i read tbh) someone had to take c00lkidd in (yes i based this off of a fic). i mean that someone would realistically be guest and his wife at first lets be honest buuutt hey what if actually fuck nah it's shedletsky now

and somehow chickenburger happens after 007n7 is released from wherever he was being held (its bcs he no longer has a house being legally dead and all. AND THEY WERE ROOMMATES!!!!)

*casually slips c00lkidd angst into your already somewhat angsty chickenburger headcanons* not chickenburger related necessarily but do you guys think c00lkidd would flinch when shed raises his hand out of leftover instinct even though he's literally not holding a sword

🗡️🍗🍔 more general/specific headcanons

regardless of which version of him it is, shedletsky/telamon would spoil 007n7 and c00lkidd a BUNCH lol

shed is pretty physically affectionate (so is telamon but not to the same extent)

meanwhile i feel like 007n7's love language would be acts of service?

I DO NOT DISRESPECT THE WIFE BTW.. I MAY NEVER BRING HER UP EVER BUT THEY ARE IN A POLY W BRIGHTEYES (and builderman i think) TRUST 🤞🤞🤞

Out of the Tactics trio, Hotaruko is the most compassionate as she was the only one against the idea of using young children as bait, as shown back in Episode 14. This correlates to the events of this episode as Hotaruko is revealed to have younger siblings, who are probably boy-girl twins, and a single mother who is raising three kids all on her own while running the okonomiyaki shop (okonomiyaki is Japanese savory pancakes). Her father had passed away, meaning that Hotaruko is essentially the eldest daughter in an Asian family in that all the pressure to help her family lies on her. However, she’s lying to her family.

If Reina and Granit are opposites in terms of how they view life and survival, then Makoto’s ‘rival’ and ‘opposite’ is Hotaruko. Both are similar in that their Digimon was the reason they lost everything. For Makoto, he lost his family and his cushy life at Shangri-la Egg. For Hotaruko, she was climbing up society by being a very studious girl and even graduated college by skipping grades, but by the time she got a job as a researcher, it all came to a stop when her Digimon was born and she now has to be a cleaner and live a rough life where she can’t see her family as often as she would like, but does it for their sake.

This is where Hotaruko’s feelings of antipathy comes into play. The moment she learns that Makoto used to live at the top of society but now is a Cleaner who works odd jobs and little pay, she gets angry because Makoto could easily try to climb his way to become a top Cleaner, or be someone accomplished despite his fall from glory, yet he chooses to be passive and soft-hearted about it all. She hates the fact that he has no motivations and no goals in life while she’s here trying to make end’s meet by working at a terrible job where her colleagues suck, her boss is strict as hell, and her boss’s boss is shady as heck. She essentially has no one to fully rely on other than herself as she’s the one who decided to join Tactics and go through such rigorous training and risk lying to her family because she doesn’t want them to worry and also doesn’t want anything bad happening to them. Remember that there are risks if people are associated with Cleaners.

However, I do think that Hotaruko is right in a way. While Glowing Dawn works and functions as a found family, Makoto can’t always be relying on Reina and Tomoro to help out. Sometimes, he needs to take matters into his own hands. It would also be good development for NightChiropmon as he hasn’t gotten the best track record by far. I get that Makoto and Chiropmon aren’t suited for combat, but if Ludomon who has yet to evolve and only function is to be a shield has more usage than a Champion-level Digimon at this point, you need major redemption at this point. However, Makoto’s greatest strength is that he’s kind. I honestly liked that he helped clean the broken shards of the okonomiyaki shop and doesn’t hold Hotaruko’s disdain against him. He’s going to kill with kindness.

I feel like the Digimon featured in this episode are just props instead of being super plot-relevant. Koemon wasn’t that significant.Though, the Burgermon and Burpmon duo is interesting in that they work in a symbiotic relationship, showcasing that stray Digimon can team up and benefit each other. It showcases how Digimon can survive in different ways like how Pandamon gets adopted by someone who’s not his Owner and lives a compelling life.

There are a lot of Digimon veterans in this week’s episode. Koemon is voiced by Makoto Tsumura who voiced my favorite Digimon protagonist Takato from Digimon Tamers. Tsumura also voiced Koemon in Ghost Game. Burgermon is voiced by Ayaka Saitou who voiced Pillomon and other Digimon in Ghost Game. Burpmon is voiced by Megumi Urawa who voiced Cody (Iori) Hida and Armadillomon/Armadimon from Adventure 02 and other Digimon characters in different media.

For the human characters, Hotaruko’s mother Nagisa is voiced by Mami Kingetsu, who makes her Digimon debut. Some of her roles include Miss Merry Christmas from One Piece and Alice from Tales of Symphonia: Dawn of the New World. Kou, the brother, is voiced by Eriko Kadokura who voiced Tyumon and other minor characters in Ghost Game. Ao, the sister, is voiced by Honoka Mitsubishi who voiced Pyocomon in Ghost Game.

Beatbreak has been hitting it well with these past two episodes that humanizes the Tactics member. To be honest, Hotaruko is slowly becoming my favorite of the Tactics trio. However, it does seem like next week’s episode doesn’t seem to focus on Raito, but it could just be a case of the trailer not showcasing the important parts until the actual episode airs. I do wonder what Raito’s backstory is going to be like because he’s still the one with the worst impression. Let me know your thoughts on this episode!
