Originally I wanted to make this for @taikouvember 2 k 2 4! (It could have fit for "L i g h t"!) {Though I made it a bit e a r l y!}

AAA I'm glad you appreciated the stageplay inclusion, because at first I wasn't sure if it or Kizuna's moment were fitting EnoughTM {Kizuna's moment is more like "the timeframe of daylight left before sunset sets [more fully] in"} but I'm glad if you appreciate seeing it!!!

(YES I've also noticed re how Koushiro's name is often autotranslated, I've also seen "Hikaru" come up more recently+more randomly at points which cracks me up every single time, {not just because I've had an OC dear to me with the name for a while now, and it used to be my own old penname for that reason!!} but also since "Hikaru" leans more specifically towards "Shining" than just "Light"/{Hikari})...

I've watched the Tri stageplay numerous (more than 10~15+!!) times by now, so I do have a lot of the script memorized, but I think by this point I got a little confused if the red light was signifying just "flashing red lights" {indicating technological 'Error!!' emphasis} at every instance it was used or "{sunrise??}"-esque effects after they "got out of" the darker area (back into the initial natureesque scenery?), since that scene was much more {calmer to a degree??} for Koushiro and Taichi, and the scene right before it was MetalGreymon's evolution so yes they were mainly using that lighting for MetalGreymon['s fire-like effects] (but then Koushiro emphasized, "{this [domain] is} still {very} full of 'Error'", and then the lighting went more of a calmer yellow so) but either way it feels SymbolicTM to me (and yes the scenes before it were very dark/with glitch-like effects, and we know for a fact ""night"" did pass at least once!) {The sleepover/camping-like scenes, etc!}

"And in general {Koushiro} is made for the LIGHT side"

= HEAVY AGREED!!!!!

(Thank you very much for kind commentary!!)

Writing that post made me think about Koushiro and his family and it is making me kind of emotional because, man. His family are just... Perfect for a kid like him.

Koushiro is always worried he’s not good enough, that maybe people don’t like him, and then there are his parents, who have never had any expectation for him to be anything other than their child.

Because that’s good enough for them! As long as Koushiro is alive and doing his best, they don’t want anything else from him ever! They’re just... Proud of Koushiro for being Koushiro.

He’s not a replacement for their lost baby either, they view Koushiro completely and totally as his own person who is also their child, and they just want to watch him grow up and see who he’ll become, all on his own with them standing behind him as a safety net if he ever needs them.

Koushiro is so obviously autistic, and it’s such a non-issue for him most of the time... Probably because he’s been raised by two people who have never wanted him to be anyone but himself. They genuinely enjoy seeing Koushiro do weird stuff with his technology, they trust his judgement, they value and listen to him... When he acts unusual or strange, they’re still there, smiling and supporting him.

And Koushiro tries so hard to be a Good Kid but- His parents wouldn’t begrudge him a rebellious phase, if he acted out, if he had moments of anger... Because they just want to be there for him. They just wanna see him flourish and grow on his own terms...

... I really like the Izumi family. They’re just... They’re all trying so hard, and it’s so sweet because all of them just love each other even at minimal effort. Just, gah.

What a wonderful family. Just. Genuinely the nicest people on earth tbh.

[EDITED TO ADD: Please ask izzyizumi for permission before using their GIFs on posts! I didn’t think to do so, and while they’ve been very sweet about it, I still feel bad because I’ve read their TOS and such about a hundred times and still forgot, so here’s a reminder for myself and everyone else!]
