Hikarim - Blog Posts

This is the "no reposting" rules and Interaction banner on the post this gif came from. If looking at the post directly, my rules on asking to reuse + repost have been posted there for years. This user has NOT contacted me directly to ask my Permission to repost, likely found via Tumblr search, and didn't check usernames under the gif once it was on the blog. My rules have been in effect on my blog on every gif post I've ever made since before 2020 and even caps and fanworks I made from 2017~2020, including in Daikari's tag directly:

My Daikari moment

People always ask why do you ship Daikari over Takari? Isn't Takari more obvious? Takari is very obvious in the show to the point where it surprised me that it wasn't canon - Takeru cares a lot about her and it's highlighted even more in the dub. So what makes me ship Daikari over it? This moment right here - Hikari is shown to be a very kind character, she always has been. Yet Takeru's literally had breakdowns and rage attacks over BlackWargreymon and while Hikari looks worried, she doesn't do anything for him - she doesn't ask if he's ok, she doesn't console him and he's just as expressive as Daisuke is if not more because he's enraged/angry. Yet Daisuke gets sad/discouraged and she passionately speaks up when his best friend, partner and her own partner are right there. Anyone could have reassured him and spoken up but they didn't. So, yes Takari may feel more obvious but to me, Hikari's responses to Daisuke are what win me over because yes, she cares about Takeru a lot but something about the way she cares for Daisuke makes me ship them.
