#cs chats

So it’s been a MINUTE since I’ve logged into the tumblrs. I’m following up on old messages I’ve missed and feel like I owe y’all an explanation for dropping off the face of the earth for a while there.

Covid sucks. No big news there. And I’m an event planner at a university and life got complicated very quickly and has stayed complicated until very recently. Not going to delve too much into it, because, honestly, in the grand scheme of things, life hasn’t been TOO bad. However, I have been working from home pretty exclusively for over a year, so my creative space had to become my work space.

This has taken a toll on all of my creative outlets. I don’t WANT to sit at my cozy little desk space in the evenings because I’ve been there all day. The space has morphed from a place I can chill and do things that I love into a place of stress, productivity, and deadlines. I’ll be going back to work in-person in the fall, but it’s still going to take some time to rework the energy in this space back into something enjoyable.

So, TLDR, I haven’t been very active in any of my fandoms because I haven’t had a space conducive to creating and interacting with fandom for the last year. I’m hoping this changes in the next few months, but I still probably won’t be too active on tumblr for a while. (Although I’ll try to log in more to check my messages)

BUT, one positive thing that HAS come out of covid, is I’ve been posting more fanfiction. I have a neat little folder of things I’ve been tweaking for the last decade and this year finally made me go FUCK IT and I’ve actually been posting stuff. If you need a yamachi digimon fix, here’s my ao3: https://archiveofourown.org/users/CourageSun

So I’m, like, REALLY late (May is a complicated month y’all).... but gosh darnit I’m gonna do it anyway!! 

Write about when and why you like Taichi/Yamato 

Let’s see..... I started liking Taiyama back in High School. Originally I was a Taiora shipper, but I had a crisis mid-fic and realized the MASSIVE amount of taiyama subtext and was like “Huh... these two together....I like it”. And then it kinda spiraled from there until these two dorks became my ultimate OTP. 

I could wax poetic about why I love their relationship all day.

I could talk about how Yamato looks at Taichi the way someone stuck in winter looks at the sun on the first day of spring. How Yamato’s sharp edges seem to soften in the presence of Taichi’s warmth. How Taichi is the center of Yamato’s solar system, and he is continuously caught in the ebb and flow of his gravitational pull, melting his icy exterior one day and setting him on fire the next. I could talk about how Yamato choosing to become an astronaut made perfect sense to me, because he has always been drawn to the brilliance of stars....

I could talk about how Taichi looks at Yamato the way a sailor gazes at the ocean; marveling at its sheer depth and magnitude and breathtaking beauty. How even with his telescope it took him a while to see every cave and hidden treasure. How Taichi, ever the adventurer, would want to explore every inch of it until it’s as familiar to him as his own body. How even though the ocean can be cold and salty and mysterious, Taichi holds fast to the belief that there is so much more to him than what’s on the surface...

But instead I’m going to take a moment of self reflection and really delve into why these two have occupied so much space in my head for so many years.
