how did you start shipping taito?
Well I wanna say when I was around...11-12? Around there at least, I was pretty young now that I think about it.
It wasn’t really my first Digimon ship, but when I think about slash shipping in general, I want to say that it was among my first...Taichi/Yamato were the ones that introduced me to it at least.
Really what got me invested was the fanwork. I was too young to really understand the context of the series, so all of the shippy Taiyama moments in Adv and 02 just flew right over my head. I was basically looking out for some fanfictions to read and I wound up coming across Taito fics. And I just remember having my mind BLOWN cause it was so good! Like none of the other fics I read had such interesting takes on their characters and be so varied and unique at the same time!
After that I just kept looking up more and more things on them. Fanart on people’s old gallery sites and such. Eventually I came across doujinshis and that was one hell of a ride lol. I used to visit those ‘shrines’ and fanpages a lot, and it was on those sites that talked about the series and compelled me to rewatch the series and look at Taichi and Yamato from a new perspective.
lol it wasn’t until that I absorbed all the content that was out there that I was still so hyped up to try and write my own fics and such xD ah man I was hooked and I haven’t been able to shake them off my mind since ^^
