#I wanted to do a KH version so much but I didn't find any good clothes to dressed them

[roxtron]

Y'know now that I think about it, the kh fandom seems to have a huge problem with ignoring or disliking games they find "irrelevant" to the plot. I came into the fandom post-kh3 so I can't say I know how the fandom's changed over time but.. it's kinda ridiculous to me tbh. Because from what I read it sounds like most people hated/ignored BBS and 358/2 days because they were "spin-offs." (Which is dumb anyway, like, even if hypothetically KH3 didn't exist and they were just spin-off characters- Why is that a bad thing? Why should you treat them like they don't matter? Why do some people think the characters from those games don't matter because they only care about the fate of the Destiny Trio?) And even still people consider Chain of Memories irrelevant because "Oh Sora forgets everything anyway, all you need to know is that." And then they consider Coded/Re:Coded irrelevant because "It's all data anyway." And THEN they consider DDD irrelevant because "All you need to know is the Xehanort time travel stuff in the finale." It's so weird to me how some people can claim to be invested in these games yet only care about the numbered titles. It can't be because they care about Destiny Trio that much if they consider titles including them to still be irrelevant.. So what is it then?? Is the concept of a spin-off inherently bad to these people? Like, sure, if you're thinking of the BARE MINIMUM KNOWLEDGE then yes I would agree you don't need to know much about those games beyond what I listed.. HOWEVER, that does not mean it's good to only go into the games with that knowledge. If you truly care about this series and its characters, you would value the ways those games expand on their characters. And even if you don't.. If you're only going into these games with the idea of "vaguely understanding the plot" but the plot alone. Not the characters. If all you care about is "How did Xehanort revive other versions of himself?" And not the buildup for the characters and how these arcs affect them, y'know, as characters..

I just don't understand how you can go into these games like that and still have fun with it. Like sure if I'm into a series where I appreciate the worldbuilding but there isn't much to the characters I can get behind that. (And I mean that in the sense of games with blank-slate protagonists, not to say the characters don't matter to me, but that the characters don't have much personality to get attatched to.) But in a story like Kingdom Hearts where it is about the characters, and the story is just how the characters choices affect each other- I dunno man. I'm not sure of the right words to explain what I'm trying to say but it just feels so dull and boring to only care about that in a series, and especially a series like this. I could go on and on about the ways those games affect the characters and the story more than those little one-sentence quotes.. And sure, maybe I will in addition to this, but that's not the point I'm trying to make here. Even if they didn't affect the story, even if they were solely character-building, or even if they barely served a purpose at all beyond a couple of scenes.. It shouldn't devalue the entire experience as irrelevant. (Chain of Memories I kinda get disliking due to the combat LMAO but aside from that + some people do like the combat-) The games are more than story alone. They're more than gameplay alone. And they're more than characters alone. All aspects of the game come together to create an experience, and if you want to devalue the entire experience as a bad game, because you find it irrelevant due to it not fulfilling your specific preferences of what you want out of these games- Then I have a hard time believing you appreciated this series at all to begin with. Also a hard time believing you have good media literacy or even care about having any but hey that's a topic for another day am i right

CROSSOVER CAS CHALLENGE  

I had this idea when I saw all the reactions for the new gamepack coming soon and also because I was playing The Last of Us for the 12th times … What if our sims would have been in another video-game ? 

RULES: Imagine how your sims would look if they were characters from another game you love. You can choose one or several video games if you’re inspired as well as one or several sims you like or create one especially for this challenge. Your sims must look like an original character and not one already known in the game(s) you choose.

For this first one I did a Last Of Us version and a Life is Strange one of Destiny and Leïla from Destiny Harbour : Trouble at Brindleton Bay.

The Last of us: These girls would totally fit in this dark universe ! I’m still waiting to discover Part II but The Last of Us has been one of my favourite game. I really love the story and gameplay, and I think Ellie is one of the best character in video games (Remember I didn’t play Part II yet). 

Life is Strange : Destiny and Leila could have certainly be LIS characters ! This game litteraly made me cry so so much ! It’s one of the best game ever written and the first season with Max and Chloe is just perfect. I still have to discover season 2 though but I already can’t wait ^^

In order to introduce this new challenge I tag @pralinesims​ @bugsims​ @ladykendalsims​@ladybugsimblr​ @s4simomo​ @prismaticpixels​ @hufflepuff-sim​ @crescendemon​ @melonsim​ @suintor​ @cupcakegnome​ @sunflower-petals​ @gladlypants​ @okruee​ @someone-elsa​ @simscognito​ @sims41ife​ @simstrouble​ @marksiwat​ @aniraklova​ @greenfooddog​ @apollrue​ @aliennooboo​ @plushpixels​ @saurussims​ @blurri-sim-kid​ @mousysims​ @xldkx​ @ice-creamforbreakfast​ @lemonpxel​​ @mellindi​​ @boolproppin​​ @hula-zombie​​ @queenofvraquin​​ @illuner​ @sikoi​​ and anyone else who wants to do it :)

Feel free to ignore or spread this challenge as you want. Tag me so I can see your amazing creations. Have fun ! Take care .

Holy crap. Look at Kate Herron's shirt. When the Loki director pops up on Zoom, she's donning the most glorious image anyone will see since we laid eyes on Alligator Loki: A Teletubby wearing the Loki horns. Are the Teletubbies Loki variants? Sure, why not!

"I got it on Instagram," Herron says. "There's an amazing comic book artist and he designed it. He made it into a T-shirt for me because I saw it and was like, 'That's incredible. Can I get it for the press junket?'"

Herron, no big deal, just pulled off an MCU miracle. Entering a mammoth franchise with, notably, some of Sex Education's best episodes under her belt, the director deftly brought a plot involving multiverses and Richard E. Grant in a cape and superhero mumbo-jumbo to brilliant, beautiful life. Following Loki's tear-jerking, mind-bending finale, the series has been dubbed by critics and fan's alike as one of Marvel's best efforts—which is no small feat. Of course, we needed to ask Herron how she stuck the landing. Following the most epic finale you, me, or any Teletubby can remember, Herron talked to Esquire about the Miss Minutes jump scare, filming the finale's introduction of He Who Remains, and why she won't return for Season Two of Loki.

ESQ: How are you doing?

KH: I'm good. I think I feel very relieved that I don't have to sit on the secret of He Who Remains anymore, It was a very big secret to hold, but for an important reason, right? Because it's such a good character to be launching. So yeah, I feel good.

ESQ: Loking back at your old interviews, you have such a good poker face when you're avoiding spoilers, but you're also incredible at giving aggregator crumbs.

KH: I play a lot of board games, so you need to be quite good at strategy and poker faces so people can't always read your hand. So I think weirdly board games have prepared me more for working with Marvel than anything else.

ESQ: I have to start with the Miss Minutes jump scare. What went into the decision to make her a memeable, creepy apparition in that moment?

KH: I love horror, and my executive, Kevin Wright, knew that. Me and him were talking about Episode Six and I remember that he was like, "Oh, maybe you could do something creepy of Miss Minutes." And I immediately was like, "We have to do a jump scare!" Because I haven't got to do a good jump scare in anything yet and I really wanted to, because a lot of my friends are horror directors. I was like, "I can't let them down." So I was really excited to have a shot at doing a jump scare. And Miss Minutes, it was really fun testing it because we'd kind of bring different people into the edit, me and Emma McCleave, the editor, and we'd just play it for them, watch them, and check that they were jumping when we cut it.

ESQ: One thing that I think is getting missed in all the craziness is that we see a peak moment of the love story between Loki and Sylvie. Where does the finale leave the companionship that they found in each other?

KH: When I started the show, that was always in the DNA of it—that Loki was going to meet a version of himself and they were going to fall in love. And that's honestly what drew me into the story, because I directed Sex Education. I love stories about self-love and finding your identity and your people. Loki is such a broken character when we join him, and seeing him go on this amazing journey with all this growth and finding the good points of himself in seeing her—I think that was very beautiful. It's also paying respect to the fact that Sylvie's in a very different place to him. She hasn't had the Mobius therapy session. She even says, in Episode Five, "I don't know how to do this. I don't have friends." You really feel for her because she has been on the run and her whole life has been this mission.

It's almost funny because these characters are thousands of years old, but it's almost teenage the way they both talk about their feelings for each other. I think everyone can relate to that, right? In any new relationship, there's always that kind of awkwardness and like, "Oh God, am I too keen? The important thing was the hope—like when Sylvie and him kiss, I think it is genuine and it is coming from a place of these feelings they have for each other. Obviously she does push them through that door, but for me it was a goodbye and it was with heart. But it's kind of a goodbye in the sense of like, I care about you, but I'm going to do my mission because that's where I'm at.

ESQ: I would pay for you to direct the Sex Education episode where Otis falls through a portal into the multiverse, into the main MCU.

KH: He really looks like a Loki as well, which is so funny. I always thought that. I was like Asa does look like a Loki. It didn't come to pass or anything, but it would be interesting to do a Sex Ed-Marvel crossover. I wonder who all the different characters would be within the MCU, but it would be quite funny.

ESQ: You're right, he could pull off a teenage Loki.

KH: Yeah, like a teen or a very young ’20s, maybe. But it was just funny because I was like, "Oh yeah, he looks a bit like Tom." I wonder how they could do it. I'm sure they'll find a way to do a crossover anyway.

ESQ: Can you just take me back to filming with Jonathan Majors? And you capturing him in such a compelling, quirky, scary way—I'm sure your direction was such a big part of that.

KH: I was just so excited because Jonathan is an actor that everyone was so excited about. He's like a chameleon in everything he does and he's so talented. I just feel as a director so lucky to have worked on this because I feel like I've got to work with some of the best actors out there. And when you're with Jonathan, you know you're in the presence of just someone really magnificent. For me as a director, it's giving him the space to play and feel safe. Because we filmed it all in a week, but it was a lot to film in a week. So I think it was really about creating a space where he could have fun and find this character because he's going to be playing him for a long time.

ESQ: What went into the decision to introduce us to the good guy first?

KH: I remember in the script, he comes up the elevator and it was so casual. I was like, "Oh man, that's so fun." And then Jonathan, when he plays it, he's relaxed. And I the thing he used to talk about a lot was that this is a character who's been on his own for a long time. Because at the beginning, we introduced him in a space in the universe that feels like this very busy, loud place, but actually, when we see the Citadel, he's surrounded by the Timeline and he's very isolated. Even in his costume with [designer] Christine Wada, for the idea of his outfit, he's a character who's existed for multiple millennia. So it's like, OK, let's pull from lots of different places so you can't necessarily pin down which time or which place he might be from. Also the fact that his clothes look comfy. They were like pajamas because he's living at home. He loved the idea of the office [being] the only finished part of the citadel and that the rest of the citadel was like this Sunset Boulevard kind of dusty, dilapidated space. And just again showed that he probably just keeps himself to his office. All those elements definitely fed into Jonathan's performance in terms of balancing the extrovert, but also the introvert of someone that would be living by themselves and only talking to a cartoon clock.

ESQ: It really is incredible how you pull a nail-biting finale with this battle of wits and dialogue.

KH: It was really exciting because I feel like Episode Five was a lot of fun because we got to play into all the joy of the different versions of Loki, but also just the fact that it was our big usual Marvel third act, right? Like it was where our big spectacle was as they were fighting this big monster. But I love that our finale bookends, right? We began with a conversation and we ended with one.

ESQ: I also loved that there was no end-credits scene—I think it makes the ending that much more impactful. Was there ever an end credit scene on the table, or any kind of a stinger?

KH: I think no, because weirdly, we never went after the kind of mid-credit sequences. I think we always just were thinking just of the story and where we knew we wanted it to end. For example, Episode Four, originally Loki was deleted and then we went straight to him waking up. And it was only in the edit I was like, “I think it'd be really cool actually. We should move that scene to mid-credits because then we'll really feel like Loki has died." Because if I watched that moment and then it went to the credits, I'd be like, "What?!" And then when we were talking about the best way to talk about Season Two, we were like, "Okay, well, let's do that like a little mid-credits at the end because that is exciting to confirm it in that way." I'd say we found both of those in the edit just because we wanted to kind of do it right and have a fun nod to something that Marvel does so well.

ESQ: Is there anything you can tell about the future of the story you've told here—or even where you personally would like to go with the studio or otherwise going forward?

KH: Yeah, so I'm just on for Season One. So I'm so proud of the story we told. I mean, it was amazing getting to set up the TVA and take Loki on this whole new journey. And I mean, I think we've left so much groundwork for his character, and as people see in the comics, there's so much more to be delved into. And I just am excited honestly to just see where all the characters go. Like, who is B-15? What did she see in those memories and where did Ravonna go and where is Loki? I think for me, we've set up these questions and I look forward to seeing them being answered as a fan in the next season.

ESQ: Absolutely. Well, can we please work on the Asa Butterfield Loki?

KH: I will call him and I'll be like, "You want to do some crazy Marvel crossover?"

Hello everyone! Preorders have opened for the @khparkszine so I can FINALLY talk about how I've been involved! I got picked to do a Phantom Manor story! If you know me, you know how much I LOVE the 1.0 version of this ride and I really can't wait for you all to read it. SO please pre order if you can. Everyone did an AMAZING job and I can't wait for you to read/see all of it. Image ID: Black text on a white background. It is encased in a pink frame that has a castle in the bottom right-handWorld corner with "It's a small world, a Kingdom Hearts Zine" under the castle. The bottom left has a mickey head with a keyhole in the left ear, the It's a Small World clock face in the right ear, a crown on top, and Tinkerbell about to touch Sora's nose in the middle. The Mickey face and everything in it and the "It's a small world, etc" text are in iridescent purple. Text: Sora opened his eyes and stared at the wooden ceiling above him. His head throbbed and he groaned as he sat up.

Why was he here again?

Sora rubbed his head as disjointed thoughts crossed his mind. Princess of heart. Singing. Ghost stories… or did a ghost show up? And then Donald-

“Donald? Goofy?” Sora shouted as he started to stand up. He shifted around, watching the empty train station. “Where are you?” Think, Sora, think. We don’t have a train, but timetableswe do have seats, time tables, skeleton ticket taker.

What?

Ethan/Mia Headcanons!

1) They met at some conference. Mia was working to get a "job" from a rival Logistics company and bumped into Ethan who was sent by his company. He spilled something, she offered to pay for it, and it went from there. 2) She claims to be a Nanny to account for her traveling and stuff. She has a second bank account to hide anything above what a well to do Nanny should make. 3) Ethan makes good, but not great, money so their Honeymoon was in New Orleans in early October. Close by to Texas and cheap, but still special. 4) They had talked about going back before she disappeared, so when he got the e-mail he wasn't surprised she was in Louisiana. Well, less surprised than if she was in like Denver. 5) Ethan bought a New Orleans cookbook during their Honeymoon. He tries to make stuff from it on special nights. 6) Ethan likes Romcoms and Period Dramas. Mia didn't really watch movies until she started dating him. She'll suggest some action movies to switch it up and he'll go along with it. Neither are hugely fond of horror. 7) She's the one that suggested Ethan go to the Gun range. She figured her job would come back to bite her one day and wanted Ethan to be prepared. 8) Ethan, pre mold, would do a neighborhood barbeque on the 4th. Mia had to admit he did a good job setting it up and everyone seemed to have a good time. 9) Mia has met Ada Wong, briefly. Ethan has just read about the zombie attacks but doesn't make any real connections. 10) Mia was thinking about getting out and telling Ethan before Eveline happened.

Sidenote: Rosemary is 100% going to be shown talking to Ethan at something in RE9. His face still won't be shown but if he could talk to Jack and Eveline, we'll see her talking to hi..
