The into monologue for KFP!Holiday AU

Mei Mei: Daddy, can you pass me the salt?

Mei Mei's father & Tai Lung: *Both reached out to the salt shaker at the same time*

Mei Mei's father: *is horrified & speechless*...

Would like a Taichi x Meiko take. I think they would fit quite well together.

Hehe, well, to summarize some positivity about Takari regardless: I do love that they ARE consistently glued to each other at the hip. While people who don't ship it may find it weird, whereas people who DO ship it may be frustrated with them not being confirmed as canon, it's really nice to see that they never drifted apart. Regardless of time passing, regardless of the universe, with all their parallels and developments. And the most recent audio drama proved to me personally that they're perfectly compatible trolls together that enable and have a wonderful time with each other in private (and thus also "off duty").

As for Meichi, I hope it actually comes across when I say that, to me, their set-up would be the ultimate wish-fulfillment: Imagine being ridden by self-doubt and insecurities, are moving to a new place and be embraced, encouraged and supported by the literal sun? Granted, Taichi himself is suffering from self-doubt and insecurities just as much at the time they meet - but he also feels naturally drawn to and protective of "the different/weird ones" and thus, it also seems like their bond may give him another (external) reason to move forward, to re-discover his natural strengths. They're going through similar experiences, loss-related trauma may linger in both of them, and while they still need to work on their communication skills, they are empathetic and soft towards each other - and thus have met at just the right time in their lives.
