❝ Riku — ? ❞

A delighted greeting quickly trailed off into an uncertain question as Sora realized that something was definitely off. It was nice to be greeted so readily by a friend — of course it was! But this veered away from the territory of "especially good mood" right into the uncanny valley.

It didn't really help that Sora could feel some sort of magical energy about him. He couldn't pinpoint exactly what it was, but he'd at least gotten good enough at identifying magical signatures that he could tell one was certainly in the air right now.

❝ Someone's in a good mood...! ❞ Still, for now, he would try to take it in stride. Maybe it really was just an exceptionally good day for Riku today! ❝ Um — why not both? A day adventuring...at the beach! We could see if anything cool's washed up on the shore. ❞

A Dream Drop Distance inspired scenario in which "Sora", actually asleep on his own heart station and plagued by nightmares, transforms into a Darkside. Riku, once again, descends to break the curse so that Sora may continue his slumber in peace.

Looking for an angel

[dreamsy990]

you know i used to think it was weird how sora and roxas have such different personalities for supposedly being 'the same person' but after playing a few games i sort of realized that they do have similar personalities, because roxas acts how sora does when he's under extreme stress.

compare roxas to sora in, say, kh1. that's where a lot of peoples idea of sora's personality comes from. sora is generally very upbeat and optimistic in that game. not very similar to roxas, right?

but let's switch the game and talk about a game where sora is ABSOLUTELY GOING THROUGH IT. chain of memories.

sora's resting state is melancholy in com. he only ever cheers up in short bursts, usually when he's joking around with friends. just like roxas.

he's quick to anger, and tends to lash out at the organization members. best example of this is when larxene makes him 'remember' namine, and he swings at her repeatedly, even after she's gone. he only stops when jiminy is able to snap him out of it.

you know what scene that resembles?

sora, while a bit more on the angry side and less sad, continues to act like this in kh2 when he's in stressful situations. (he also has a tendancy to insult people which, while it's not very related to the point, is very funny and sora saying 'gonna cry?' to xigbar is great.) i cant comment any further than that about kh2 off the top of my head.

so, roxas acts like sora does when he's stressed, right? but why is roxas always acting like that? to which i say, he isnt!

he only ever acts like that when he's also in fucked up and stressful situations, which happens to be a CONSTANT in his life. but when he's hanging out with axel and xion, a decidedly NOT stressful situation, he's a lot more like sora. he's teasing his friends and insulting his coworkers and joking around and acting like a normal kid. not really important, but unless i misremembered some sora lines which is VERY possible, both roxas and sora respond to friendly insults with "oh thanks!" a lot. just a funny little detail that felt relevant.

the biggest differences between roxas and sora boil down to environment and... i dont know how to put it besides volume? roxas is very quiet and tends to keep most of his thoughts to himself, while sora is very loud and expressive in comparison.

there is one other huge difference i noticed, which is less character based and more story. sora wanted to get off destiny islands and explore with his friends, but roxas just wanted routine. sora wants adventure, and roxas wants things to stay the same, for days where he gets off work and eats ice cream with his friends to last forever, to keep having conversations about nothing and watching the sunset. roxas wants normalcy, sora wants excitement. it's just interesting seeing their contrast.

not sure if this is very well said or anything i just wanted to talk about my boys

@picavecalyx || Turns this post-failure (threat)

❝ I'm just — I'm just so relieved! You're actually okay...! ❞

It was as though someone had flipped a switch, sending Sora's emotions from one extreme right to another. The relief and elation in his voice gave way to a break as he settled into the embrace — one that, as soon as the news got to him about Flare's true intentions, Sora had been afraid he wouldn't get to feel again.

And then that fear and sadness gave way to guilt, remembering his first excursion to this world, when he'd been in a completely different, island region. How shortly after Silva had disappeared to another of the islands, a man approached him. A man who'd wanted nothing more than to find his daughter. A man who, at the time, had only seemed like his stony demeanor was meant to hide the worry he felt for her. A man who'd been feigning all of those emotions all along, for his own selfish purposes.

And Sora had wandered right into the spider's web, volunteering information about Silva simply because he hadn't known any better.

❝ Silva... ❞ Gasping for a breath, he pulled back long enough to wipe his eyes. The images of the newscasts remained burned into his mind: of the weapon, blossoming like a poisonous flower, meant to take this whole world down with it except only for the "worthy." Of the man operating it, whom had seemed like a friendly father figure a while before. Of the ruins of the town around it the instant he'd been able to land the Gummi Ship there — the fastest way he had to get from Alola to Kalos and see if she was okay.

He couldn't help but feel responsible.

❝ I'm so sorry. I — your dad — I didn't know, I shouldn't have said anything. Maybe if I hadn't, you wouldn't have — ❞

It's Riku! Riku's here!

[cyberdragoninfinity]

big ol batch of doodles from the arc-v dimensionswap AU me and @zxal have been getting brainblasted by all summer!!!

ft. fusion!yugo, some swapped dimensional dragons and dswap sora and dennis too >:^)

dswap!sora was sent on Academia business to infiltrate Xyz and picked the wrong ticking time bomb to mess with along the way(Xyz!Yuya)--Eclipse-Eyes bit his arm off at the ALC </3 Now Sora's effectively in hiding/'defected' to Xyz cuz he cant go back to DA. Let's hope the resistance doesn't find out he had a pretty big hand in the invasion 🥴

in this AU he plays 'Frightmares'--effectively Frightfurs but a little bit to the left, still creepy stuffed animals, but more based on fairy tales and nursery rhymes and a sleepy dreamy aesthetic. His ace is Frightmare Cerbearus 🐻🐻🐻

dswap!dennis got sent to Synchro to keep an eye on synchro!yuri and became his manager and also he has something deeply fucked up and wrong with him. 💚 dont worry about it 💚💚💚
