I should probably introduce myself.

Hi, I'm Torin.
I spend more time liking and reposting than I do sharing my own stuff. I don't make a lot, but sometimes I doodle. I made my own pfp and banner.

I'm good at responding to messages, but I don't send the first message often.

Thanks for stopping by!
We went from a 2nd arc that got progressively darker and more serious in tone to something so laid back it was almost unrecognizable as the same show
All-in-all very confusing, though it can still be fun at times
Very Toei-coded
Then we get a kind-of 10th year anniversary of the first anime climax where the protagonists from past stories all show up via time travel and alternate world hopping ala Toei's tokusatsu anniversary story-telling
It unfortunately doesn't feel earned during this arc
The last monster of the week story is happening with its "haha funny" shenanigans when suddenly MetallifeKuwagamon tells them about a hunter who's feeding Digimon data to some weird boulder-faced creature and that he's just a shell of a Digimon because his data is almost all gone
But talk about burying the lede
It's all just monster of the week stories that are fairly light-hearted and silly with a slightly dark undertone of spiriting away kids
But the kids always make it home and the problems always get solved
There's no overarching narrative being built
Like there were obviously small hints
- DigiQuartz looks like a post-apocalyptic version of the city and they shout time shift to go there
- The cameo characters show up midway through the arc with the clockmaker saying "it's not time yet"
Rewatched Xros Wars recently
The 3rd arc isn't as bad as I remember, but it's still really weird that they tacked on the 1st arc of a sequel season to the end of the show
Then they made a finale with stakes just as high or higher than the end of arc 2 with nearly no build up
I'll let you know when I figure that out.

Only this BUCKET OF WATER that releases at 500 RETWEETS can save BUGLET from being blown up by a CARTOON BOMB
I'm still playing Vampire Survivors

Sometimes we’re unsatisfied with a thing we made because when it only existed in our head, we saw all the things it could have been and when it’s done we know all the things that it isn’t, but we can’t see the way it expands into a million new things when someone else unpacks it in their head. 🖊️🦑
