To whom it may concern

What’s something you remember from your childhood that NO ONE ELSE seems to; books, movies, TV, toys, cultural references, historical events, put it here

I had to create a TV Tropes page for Eerie, Indiana a couple years ago https://t.co/yFz9SRnPvs

He's called Hodge and he was made by Jewel of the Nerd:

And here he is with some of his new friends:

So after discovering earlier this month that the ForeverWare audio cd came with a hardback book containing some incredible artwork, I decided to try and track down a copy of my own. So far, I've not been able to get my hands on the audio cd or cassette tape, but I did find an online bookseller in Canada who had the book itself.

Sadly, no narrator or illustrator is credited for their role in this eighth wonder of the world, so for now their identities must remain a mystery, the unsung heroes of the Eerie Indiana fandom.

Brace yourselves, Eerie peeps. There is some Serious Artistry ahead.

I could apologise for the fact that Tai Kamiya is photobombing all of these masterpieces, but honestly I feel he is more owed than owing after being used to weigh the pages down while I took pictures.

So, we already had the Very Important Conversation about which Pokemon GO team the various inhabitants of Eerie would belong to, but here's a way more important one to ponder: if the people of Eerie were members of the Digidestined, what crests would they hold and why?

(a brief guide to the various crests and their attributes is available here on the Digimon Wiki)

I think Janet would definitely hold Friendship, while Melanie has Courage, both pre- and post-transplant. Syndi's crest is the crest of Sincerity, and Simon holds Reliability or Kindness, or both. Sara Sue is Hope, Marilyn is Love. Marshall holds Curiosity/Knowledge, and I think he's probably also the rightful owner of the Digimental of Destiny.

What say you, Eerie fans? Who is Eerie's Child of Light? Of Miracles? Are there multiple generations of Digidestined living in town? Are any of the the crests corrupted, or subverted, or lost forever? Who wears the goggles? What do their partners look like? Do the Dark Masters steer clear of Eerie for fear of Harley Holmes turning his black eyes upon them? Is Dashimon a great name for a mega-level Digimon (yes) and is he Royal Knight (yes) and could he take out Jesmon, Alphamon and Omnimon if he felt like it (probably, but he doesn't want to right this minute)?
