#hikariweek

We are back with the third Hikari Week! This year, we decided to change things a little so we chose things associated to Hikari as the prompts.

You have creative freedom with your content, but the object or sport has to be part of it (not just mentioned). Free day is the exception, so all contents are welcome (but make sure to read the rules in the banner)

Any questions, feel free to send us an ask or a DM!

Hikari and Takeru had only been in the same class for months, yet there was no one else in the school she was closer to.  It wasn’t that they knew everything about each other, but they didn’t need to. 

Takeru always knew when Hikari was down, and had a talent for picking the best gifts for her.  Franchises she didn’t even know he knew she liked, necklaces that instantly fit her aesthetic, sweets she’d never reject.

And in turn, she could just as easily read and adjust to his moods and attitudes.

So strong was their bond, it came as a shock, to her, to him, likely to all their observers, when Takeru nonchalantly kicked a soccer ball to her feet.

Hikari instantly retreated.

“I-I don’t play.” She said simply.

Takeru blinked.

“You don’t play?”

It was a ludicrous statement.  Hikari knew every rule of the sport.  Could be just as loud as her brother in calling out the referees when she felt they made an incorrect call.

She was also intricately linked to the soccer club.  Having assisted the team readily when she and Taichi shared the same school.   It was how she met Daisuke.  It was how she’d met Sora.  It was even how she met Koushiro.

And while she wasn’t n Sora or Taichi’s level, Hikari was still an athlete.  She could handle herself in other sports.

And yet, she didn’t play. That wasn’t a lie.

Takeru looked at her, attempting to solve her riddle. “Well, could you pass the ball back?”

Hikari glanced at the ball, then at her feet.  She felt woozy.  She reached down and scooped the ball up with her hands, throwing it to her best friend.

We are deeply sorry for being a little late in our schedule, but we're finally revealing the dates and prompts for Hikari Week! This year, it will take place from June 18 to 24 and we chose School & Education as the general theme, so all prompts will have a connection to them. However, you don't need to create content related to school or education, as the prompts can be interpreted in many ways.

Prompts List:

Day 1: Teaching/Learning/Tutoring/Studying

Day 2: Dancing

Day 3: Extra Activities

Day 4: Sports

Day 5: Cultural Events

Day 6: Graduation

Day 7: Vacation/Day off

Hikari was a sickly child, and her teachers were always very kind to her despite all the school she missed, which is when/why she decided to become a teacher.

In middle/high school she often tutors Daisuke and Takeru when they fall behind, she thinks of it as practice.

She does multiple 'classes' for new Chosen, but finds herself quite unprepared for the width of relationships. not everyone's bond was forged by being droped into a strange world and forced to codepend to exist

In college she doubts whether being a teacher is what she wants to do in life. she likes kids, but not so much her classes

In her second year as a teacher she questions how much she likes the kids

By year five she's glad she never gave up.

She is the go to babysitter when the other Chosen need one because she's good with kids.

Hikari rarely refuses, and she does enjoy keeping up with all the kids, but really wishes they would explore other options

Especially since babysitting the kids means babysitting Digimon as well.

She is scarily good at recognizing previous students. Yes, she hasn't seen you since you were five, she still knows.

Hikari had always liked dancing, ever since she was a little girl. 

When she was a kindergartener, she had been too frail to excel in most Physical Education classes.  (unlike her brother, the natural athlete.)

But that didn’t matter for dancing.  It didn’t matter if she was good at it.  What mattered was what she felt.  How the music moved through her as floated through the gym.

Dance like no one’s watching.  A plea given to reject the tyranny of expectations and just give in to the music of your soul.  To be yourself at your freest, enjoying life as you wish

Kindergarteners rarely needed such lofty words to express themselves through dance.  Occasionally they could still be shy in other aspects, but when the music started flowing their bodies opened up instinctively.

Just by watching Hikari felt like she could know every one of them.  Perhaps not the individual wants and fears, but their soul, their wants, and their wills.

As such, Dancing remained Hikari’s favorite activity during exercise time.
