outta my way losers im here for the keyblade masters pining for their absolutely oblivious childhood friend

[grimcatician]

I keep thinking about Riku picking the paopu fruit in KH1 and giving it to Sora and that having been his not-so-subtle way of trying to share it with him…..

This was Rikus 13th reason I think

[dreamidoodles]

at least he tried

[empyreasheart]

Actually, you know what? Headcanon that Riku's family is the Destiny Islands equivalent of the Dunwich Whateleys: genius, creepy, antisocial, cult-like, you would not be shocked if they somehow ended the world, just upset that they ruined your day with it. Riku is frankly unusually personable for his family and that's partially why he's always hanging out with Sora. He's like the dog to Riku's cheetah, if that makes any sense.

Actually, Xehanort is technically Riku's great uncle, since he's also part of that family and left since he wanted to see what was out there and his family was completely unsupportive, to the point of straight up disowning him after he vanished off the islands

a list of my favorite kingdom hearts x disney headcanons:

1. no one questions why sora is traveling with an anthropomorphic duck and dog bc donald’s magic disguises them as human. they all see donald as a very short man and goofy as a very tall man. some people (like the keyblade wielders) can see through it they just don’t care. what you’re seeing in places like atlantica, the duck/octopus hybrid and the dog/turtle hybrid, is only half of their magic. the other half completes the transformation, so ariel and co. just see a disney-ified octopus and turtle. this is also why no one questions why ven is mouse-sized. they just see him as a mouse.

2. after the events of reverse/rebirth, mickey illegally adopted riku. one day he gets home to disney castle and he’s like “hi minnie the love of my life i love what you did with your hair oh by the way i adopted a child this is our new son riku.” and at first minnie is like “what.” but then she’s immediately ride or die for this random goblin child that mickey just picked up somewhere. the only perk this gives to riku is the fact that he can now use mickey and minnie’s names, not just their titles. at one point riku accidentally calls mickey “dad.” he’s mortified, but mickey is super touched and also never lets him live it down.

3. the reason why rikus hair looks so ragged in DDD is because he tried to use his keyblade to cut it like mulan and it obviously did not work. he was gonna get it touched up professionally but then he was called for the mark of mastery exam and so he had to put it off.

Hi! Once again the Riku brain rot has consumed my entire being, so here's some headcanons I've created (not in any particular order).

BASIC HCS 💕

He's Handy! He can fix almost anything. He loves tinkering with his Gummi Ship!

His favorite food is grilled fish! White fish specifically, like flounder, sea bass, tilapia, etc. And he has a taste for savory treats, which combats Sora's sweet tooth.

He comes from a loving home. He loves his parents, a lot and they love him. However, his biological mother passed away when he was 7ish (after BBS, but before Kairi arrived). His father became emotionally unavailable for a while, until he met Riku's stepmom. She filled her motherly role over Riku and he thanks her for it. He loves his step mom!!!

His dad taught him a variety of things like: self defense, how to fix common things, fishing, basic survival skills, and the basics of building

He moved out after KH2, and got his own place. The reason why is because after everything he's been through he needs his own space to brood about how small everything is. Albeit sad, his father approved and has the land lady check up on him every so often 🥺 Riku helps outs his elderly land lady and pays rent on TIME! He's a responsible boy 😊

Riku isn't all into fashion but he can DRESS. He loves a good "urban/street wear" look, and fucks heavy with grunge. He appreciates the chains and skull designs that come with "punk" fashion but doesn't think he can pull it off

Riku doesn't spend a needless amount of time on his looks. He has gel for his hair, a skin care routine, and a nighttime ritual to keep his hygiene up. He's very much a pretty boy in our eyes, but that's just his genes. He does the bare minimum to keep himself looking presentable

Speaking of his looks, he surprisingly gets his good genes from his dad. The muscles, the hair, the jaw line, all from his old man. His father was most definitely a looker back in the day! That being said, Riku has his mother's smile and her eyes. He also carries her temperament with him.

Along with tinkering being a hobby of his, he likes video games too! But he's not a complete shut in video game nerd. Riku LOVES the outdoors. The wilderness calls him like he's a feral animal !!! He likes camping, and fishing! He's the main guy on the islands you'd go to for some handy survival tips. He knows a good amount of edible plants, fungi, berries, leaves, and etcetera to eat if he ever got stranded. He has one or two books on that kind of stuff but he doesn't read it anymore.

After the events of KH2, Riku didn't go back to highschool. Instead he got a GED (or KH equivalent) online and started taking community college courses. He's doing it to make his dearly departed mother proud.

To add on to that, Riku is a fast learner. He's quite intellectual when it comes to mathematics, some history, and biology but please don't ask him why the author made the curtains blue 😭 the boy is emotionally stunted. He is NOT using critical thinking when it comes down to poetry or thick prose. He has some emotional intelligence but compared to Sora, he might as well have the emotional capacity of a brick wall 😭

Alright! That's all I have for now (it's 5am, I should be sleeping) if I have any more I'll post em lol

XOXO Mx. Jade 💕

[starrduzt]

KH pride headcannons with (some) explanations

disclaimer im so unbelievably biased . okay? okay

Sora: Bisexual trans man

I think he had a genuine crush on Kairi, but grew out of it as they grew apart. Trans because of that one time he said he understood Mulan but never explained why exactly (kh2 manga)

Riku: Gay, asexual, transman

Insert 6 hour "riku is gay" video here. trans cause t4t soriku.

Kairi: ally

listen, i think she's genuinely in love with Sora, but she recognizes he doesn't quite feel the same about her

Roxas: Nonbinary, pan

Roxas has such a strong core desire to just be himself without anything imposed on them, which extends to their gender and sexuality.

Xion: Genderfluid

eveyone sees them as different people (Sora, Namine, Ventus) all with different genders.

Axel: Gay

Him and Isa kiss on the organization high chairs

Namine: aro ace

She's here to make friends and party

Aqua: Lesbian

Cinderella the one that got away

Terra: Bi, trans man

I like the idea that the darkness he held was from his own queer journey, just as Riku's is.

Ventus: Biromantic Demisexual

the vibes just feel right y'know

Vanitas: Pan

he loves everyone but you just gotta get past him being a gremlin

[cinnbar-bun]

I just discovered your blog and I already love it! Can I ask you what would be the favorite video games of the groups Destiny, Sea salt and Wayfinder please? What would they play or like? If that's too much feel free to reduce to the characters you like the most or ignore, it's really okay! Thank you and good vibes!

A/n: Woo just slowly gonna try and go through the requests! I added a few extra bonuses, hope you enjoy <3

Multiple KH Characters and Their Favorite Video Games!

Destiny Island Trio: 

Sora: Fighting games- preferably Smash. He mains himself main characters (Mario, Link, Kirby, FE protags). He sucks. He is the guy who button mashes and corners players to beat the hell out of them. 

Riku: Fighting games- preferably Tekken or Street Fighter. Mains Jin or Lee. Attempts to be strategic but gets way too competitive fast and is busy mashing all the buttons off the controller. 

Kairi: Way too good at fighting games. But she’d probably play lots of Pokemon or monster collecting games. She has many setups that are both competitive or just fun ones for a fun challenge. 

Sea Salt Family: 

Roxas: Persona fanboy. He hasn’t played 1-2 but he can’t pick a favorite between 3-5. Plays all the spinoffs or has someone else play them for him. His favorite characters are the protagonists. Hears jazz music and assumes this is a Persona 5 reference. 

Xion: Resident DMC and Souls-like player. Girl is a monster on the controllers despite being just being born. The way she can effortlessly combo and dodge all attacks makes her a fearsome opponent. 

Axel: Mario Kart. Axel is pretty average at video games (unless they’re like, retro or arcade) but Mario Kart? He’s on it like Donkey Kong. He mains Funky Kong. 

Saix: He has two wolves inside him- the logical gamer and the second, more absurd gamer. Sometimes he wants to unwind, so he might pick up a basic platformer like Mario or Sonic, but on the other side- he’s a menace in a Warriors game. He’s hacking and slashing. He’s killing everyone in his path. Also, he’s a completionist.  He has to get the best markings and everything. Won’t settle for less. 

Wayfinder Trio: 

Terra: Minecraft and fighting games. He tries his best lmao. He’s just got pretty big hands so often he messes up with combos but he’s also pretty impatient and tends to spam certain moves.

Aqua: Rhythm games definitely. Watch her effortlessly get all perfect scores in one try. Even the hardest OSU! map has nothing on Aqua. She also kicks ass at fighting games. 

Ventus: He likes Mario and Sonic at the Olympic Games and Mario Party. He always loses at almost any game against his friends though. 

Bonus Characters: 

Namine: I feel like she enjoys visual novels and Okami. She really loves aesthetic games and is a patient player. 

Xemnas: does not play video games beyond Candy Crush or Solitaire. You kids and your “Splatoons” or “Bayonettas”, go pick up an old Final Fantasy game smh. 

Xigbar: Call of Duty. Fortnite. PUBG. Overwatch. He’s a menace and plays all sorts of FPS games. His sniping abilities IRL translate very well into games. Also likes the Hitman games. 

Vexen: Bookworm and civilization manager games. He’s big on Age of Empires and is a top talent within the community. He loves playing as the Vikings or Mayans for competitive play. He’s also made many custom maps. 

Zexion: Tower Defense managers and Ace Attorney. He loves deducing the crime or finding the best way to defend his base with the minimum amount of units possible. 

Xaldin: He doesn’t play games (lie). He plays romantic visual novels. Plays all kinds of them. Otomes too. He is a lonely man. Also loves cooking games. 

Lexaeus: farming games. He just has a fun time playing Story of Seasons. Rune Factory is nice too but he prefers SoS because he loves the farming aspect more. 

Demyx: Guitar Hero. No argument. This man did all the crazy achievements and was going at it for days.

Luxord: Yeah yeah solitaire and gambling- have you considered he loves playing the Yakuza games? Well now you do. He loves the games dearly and cherishes them and likes to be the biggest Yakuza on the block. Also yeah, he plays lot of gacha games. 

Marluxia: Doesn’t really play video games, but he’d most likely play some horror games with Larxene or town management games. 

Larxene: Horror games or multiplayer games where she can troll people. Banned from multiple servers and people refuse to play with her minus Marluxia. Aesthetically though she loves Trish from DMC and thinks Vergil is number one.

I HAVE TO STOP READING JUST TO LAUGH

[rhythmmortis]

i want to headcanon that aqua showed kairi her wayfinder in bbs and thats why kairis good luck charm looks like one. So mad that this didnt happen in bbs cuz literally its perfect . Whatever...

in bbs aqua mentions that she made the wayfinders look like that because of the paopu fruit and kairi's good luck charm was meant to be an old sailor's superstition (but i also like headcanoning that it was also from the paopu fruit tree, like it changes to in com) which is a fun connection between them both but like. kairi remembering aqua through that small detail, her linking good luck to aqua who saved her in bbs is so fucking adorable i am absolutely going to take that headcanon in and let it sit in my brain. forever and ever

i also find it kinda funny that any time a good luck charm is given to a character their life IMMEDIATELY becomes fucking cursed fdkhdfkjh the literal day after the wayfinders get theirs is when shit falls apart, same with sora, and the good luck charm is constantly used to taunt sora in com. their asses are NOT blessed with good luck

[honestsister]

Kingdom hearts is leaking out of its containment chamber in my brain and is infecting my TOH thoughts so here are some crossover prompts I'm never gonna write but won't leave me alone.

Sora and luz talking about people's perceptions of them and their self depreciative guilt and how it affects them

Literally any keyblade wielder looking at belos and going "Ayo, wtf is THAT?"

Roxas or xion or literally any of the walking identity crises meeting(and befriending) Hunter

Discussions on the difference between humans and witches and where keyblade wielders stand on that(cause wtf)

If a witch lost their Heart, who gets the bilesac? The nobody or the heartless?

Gay disasters Riku and Amity mutually lamenting their cringe fail antics

Willow and Kairi friendship (not a prompt I just think they'd vibe)

The return or Soras competitive streak ft. Delivering potions for eda
