#Organization XIII Headcanon

[rustpath69]

this single piece of dialogue spurred my autism so here are Org. 13 poker league headcanons.

(note this is after the castle oblivion group leaves for C.O., so im interpreting this as meaning half of the ppl in C.O. are half if the poker league)

members of the league:

luxord: runs the league

xigbar: there for shits and giggles, and to rile up some of the more prone to anger members

xaldin: tries really hard to win. has that kind of anger that builds up to the point where it feels like hes suddenly pissed so far off out of nowhere but its just been slowly rising the whole time

vexen: here to prove his intelligence. he sucks at poker. he usually rage-quits and leaves mid-game. the rest of the league prepares for this by making a different bracket ready for his inevitable hissy fit, without his knowledge

lexaeus: wins semi-occasionally, but mostly here for fun. hes incredibly calm as a result of his superior control of his anger, and doesnt get too invested. best pokerface of the league

larxene: wins very rarely, but always has the most biting trash talk and acts like shes the best at poker ever. gets sooo mad but it comes in waves and she never stews on things for long. definitely the loudest though. she also actively cheats almost every game

xion: VERY occasionally in the league. she stumbled upon the leagues secret game room during a game on accident, and xigbar thought it would be funny if she joined. she has zero idea how to play, but even so, once in a blue moon she wins by sheer luck, and despite everyones temperments, no one can help but be so taken aback and estatic at this statistical wonder every time. also i lied, SHE has the best pokerface (sorry lexaeus)

maybe ill add to this but this is all the autism i have for this rn

rambling about the org xiii orchestra art

as someone in an orchestra for real

(from here)

I can’t tell what instrument Larxene has. I thought it was castanets and someone else suggested egg shakers but both are not traditional orchestra instruments so it’s really just weird

neat that both Xaldin and Lexaeus are playing the BIG percussion instruments, and both Axel and Saix are playing woodwinds (harp is a stringed instrument too so i make no comment on the strings)

There’s no [x]ylophone pun unfortunately because those huge tubes indicate that’s actually a marimba both Xion and Roxas are playing. There is however a pun in the fact that it’s a KEYboard instrument. also they’re just adorable

actually I just remembered that instrument names aren’t common knowledge, here they are:

Xemnas is the conductor/orchestra director; Xigbar on saxophone, Luxord on trumpet, and Marluxia on trombone (that’s our brass); Axel on flute and Saix on.... it’s hard to see but I think that’s an oboe (woodwinds); Xaldin on timpani, Lexaeus on bass drum, Larxene on... something??, and Roxas & Xion on marimba (percussion); and then Vexen on harp, Zexion on violin, and Demyx on double bass (strings)

Marluxia why are you holding a flower I know you have an aesthetic but you need both hands to play a trombone

There are 3 main instrument sections (kinda) that are the “obnoxious know-it-all” instruments, stereotyped as generally having a superiority complex over the other sections because they’re soooo important look at meeee carrying the melody: the trumpet for band, the 1st violin for orchestra, and the soprano for voice (and the secret 4th, the flute for woodwinds). With that said, of course Zexion would play violin

And following both that and his Mystery Gear in 358/2 Days, it would have made more sense thematically for Xigbar to be playing the trumpet. however the saxophone is the funny meme instrument so it still works

There is NO WAY Demyx is a double bass player. It’s the only instrument besides percussion that you have to stand up for (though some orchestras do have the bassists sit on stools), and it’s much more work to actually PLAY than the other string instruments, by virtue of being much bigger. they tend to play less than most other stringed instruments, sure, but if you want to be sitting around not doing much you’re best off picking a different instrument entirely, especially since string sections tend to require more unanimity in playing than the brass/woodwinds/percussion since there’s more people playing each part

harps are rare to include in compositions. they’re very nice and melodious though. idk what this says about Vexen

generally there’s not enough percussion players to cover every single instrument which means that Larxene is definitely running around to cover all the small parts (whatever she’s holding, it’s definitely percussion)... actually with Xaldin Lexaeus Roxas and Xion in percussion as well she might not have to but she is the speedy one so

--

I hope what Saix is holding is an oboe and not a clarinet because if it’s an oboe we get some more symbolism, as well as some very nice... dynamic between his instrument and Zexion’s :)

you see, the oboe is the instrument that tunes the entire rest of the orchestra. whatever the oboe’s A sounds like will be the A the ensemble matches. one could say it’s the most important instrument

HOWEVER, the first chair of 1st violin is nominally the most important instrument- that’s the “concertmaster”, and they get to walk on-stage after everyone else (but before the conductor, obviously). they’re also important for real- based on the repertoire they’re basically guaranteed to have at least one solo. they sit at the very front, right next to the conductor. in my orchestra the concertmaster has a little biography in the program along with the conductor’s

there’s actually multiple rounds of tuning- the first couple it’s the oboe doing their thing and the other non-string instruments matching, and then the last round the concermaster matches the oboe, and then the string instruments match the concertmaster.

and that’s all so very interesting, isn’t it

and finally

Xemnas is 100% a garbage conductor. To the audience he looks very cool, doing all his sweeping motions, but it’s impossible to follow as an orchestra member, so you’re really on your own because the conductor is not conducting properly and not giving helpful cues

playing the pocky game with ienzo

pairing: ienzo / zexion x gn!reader

tags: silly & wholesome fluff, (implied) mutual romantic feelings, almost kissing, flustered/awkward!ienzo

ienzo isn't the type to enjoy games that are merely for ones enjoyment instead of providing some strategy, but he is curious what this ‘pocky game’ you've mentioned is all about

after all, you've been suggesting it for a while now and he always declined, but now his curiosity got the better of him and he wants to give it a try!

while you get the pocky's out of the package and explain the rules to ienzo, he sits quietly in front of you, nodding along

he doesn't realize what the end result of this game is yet, not even when you place one of the pockies between his lips

only when you smile and inch closer, taking the first bite out the pocky does ienzo realize how close you are to him – and then he realizes that this is what the game is all about!

people suggest playing that game because they want to be close to someone and perhaps even accidentally kiss by the end of this

the thought of this flusters ienzo so much that he bites down onto pocky with so much force that it breaks in half, one end between his lips and one between yours

he quickly starts stuttering and apologizing, worried that you see this as a rejection of your feelings for him! but he can't bring himself to continue this game so nonchalantly!

if he's going to kiss you, he wants to do it right! not with some sweets between his lips, falsifying the results of his kiss with you…

[leastrife]

I wanna ramble about random KH headcanons I have because I’m bored and why not:

- Aroace Ienzo in a QPR with Demyx

- Autistic Ienzo

- Ienzo gets overwhelmed at things being messy but also feels overwhelmed at the idea of cleaning

- Trans Luxu

- All of the foreteller’s have ptsd

- Aroace Ephemer

- Trans Brain

- Brain pretends to like black coffee but secretly still uses creamer

- Ira and Aced are the oldest of the foreteller’s, Invi is a year younger, Ava, Gula, and Luxu are a few months apart

- Brain is demisexual and Lauriam was his first crush after they became friends

- Ansem x Even in a QPR

- Xigbar tried telling the foreteller’s minus Ava that MoM actually just screwed them over, Ira had the hardest time accepting it because he was the most devout to the masters teachings

- Luxu gets terrible nightmares for the first months after he possesses someone new but they eventually go away and he pushes away the guilt he has

- Aeleus is the one who found Ienzo and brought him to the castle and Even and Ansem adopted him

- Luxu always preferred using long distance weapons

- Apprentice Xehanort always felt out of place with the other apprentices

- After KH3 Ienzo is scared to admit he misses Braig since all of the others see him as having chosen the darkness and Ienzo knows that but Braig was still one of the ones who cared for him as a child

Kingdom Hearts Headcanon: The creepiest thing Vanitas has ever said would be something extremely subtle which hints that he knows more about a member of the Real Organization XIII’s past history than he should

[justmeinabigolworld]

Random headcanon:

In KH3, Repliku looks up to Ansem (SoD, of course) and thinks he's the Coolest Guy Ever. He spends a lot of time just following Ansem around and wants to one day show as much mastery over darkness as him.

(This is mostly inspired by that one line where Repliku refers to Riku getting possessed by Ansem in KH1 as their "finest hour")

Ansem finds Repliku a bit annoying, but he does like having a Riku around that actually follows his lead, even if it's not the real one, and it's a nice boost to his self-esteem as well (which he needs, since he knows he's just a glorified pawn in Xehanort's plans), so he's not complaining.

[atomic-taco-muffin]

May I please have some of the organization members reacting to them coming home to an asleep s/o in either their shirt or an extra organization cloak since the s/o missed them so much and couldn't sleep without them home? Thank you in advance 🤗😊

You got it!! I'm gonna go with the Nort brothers for now

Nort Brothers reacting to you sleeping with their shirt

Warnings: Slightly spicy (like microscopic size) but mainly fluff

Rating: SFW

Xemnas:

Honestly, this man overworks himself so it's a miracle that he even made it to your guys' shared bed.

When he sees you wearing his shirt, he's confused.

Like, why would you wear his shirt? You have tons of clothes yourself.

But he finds it adorable, nonetheless.

Ansem:

Like Xemnas, he overworks himself, but not as much as his twin though

Now, we know this man barely wears a shirt, but he does own a few turtlenecks (he wears them in the winter)

So, after a long day of research and making sure the Twilight Trio were asleep, he headed to you to have some spicy time together

Only to find you asleep in one of his turtlenecks.

When I tell you this man MELTS!!!!! He'll just wrap you in his arms and the two of you will sleep like that till morning.

Xeha:

Xeha loves it when you wear his stuff. It's like a signal saying that you're his and his alone.

And when you wear his shirt to bed, he fucking loves it.

He does get a little turned on but nothing too crazy.

Sometimes, he's just too tired to take care of it, and sometimes you are too. Other times, it just leads to soft, sleepy sex

Vanitas:

Okay, we all know that Vanitas wears that somewhat ugly suit but for the sake of this fic, we're gonna give him some actual clothes

Like Xeha, he loves it when you wear his clothes.

And yes, he does get turned on when he sees you in them.

And when you wear his shirt as pj's, you best believe his going to pound town

And, yeah. You're gonna be wearing his shirt more often for bed

Let me know if you want a part two with the other members!

Kingdom Hearts Headcanons - Daddy!Xigbar has a daughter!

Calls her more cute names like “princess”, “ducky”, “puppet”, “kitty” or “sweetie”

She would be embarrassed about them sometimes but Daddy Xiggy never misses an opportunity to call her like this

When his daughter becomes old enough to have boyfriend, Xigbar would get VERY protective of his precious princess

“You’re too young to have a boyfriend just yet, young lady!”

“But Dad! I’m already 16!”

“I DON’T CARE! MY HOUSE, MY RULES!”

“I HATE YOU!”

“AS IF!”

But as soon as he gets to meet her boyfriend in person, he becomes more relaxed about it unless his fatherly senses tingle that they’re up to no good

Should his daughter come home with a girlfriend or tell him beforehand that she has one, he’s pretty much relaxed right from the start and can’t wait to meet them 

He used to have a good fashion sense since he always used to bring his daughter to elementary school and middle school. After she got old enough to visit school on her own, he lost track of it

He would allow his daughter to braid his hair

He’d also wear flower crowns and even make some with his daughter together

Sweet bed time with her: reading a fairytale book and lots of cuddling! When she has been a good girl, they’d even watch a movie together!

But even if she didn’t behave throughout the day, he can’t help but at least cuddle her to sleep anyway.

Also wouldn't mind playing with dolls together with her!

On Halloween he’s totally into wearing partner costumes with his daughter! Depending on what they’re going as, he also wouldn’t shy away from dressing as a princess

When friends of her are staying overnight he participates into pillow fights with them when they were little or building pillow castles

As his daughter grows older and gets fond of partying, Xigbar would gladly come along. Either to have his own fun or to watch over her because he wouldn’t stand it when boys are trying to hit on her. … Much to his daughter’s embarrassment

The only time where he saves himself from his daughter is when she’s on her period

Everytime Xigbar tries to soothe her, he sometimes pays with his life. Her behaviour and mood swings are unpredictable for him, so he backs away slowly and leaves her some space until she’s ready to approach him

Yet he still doesn’t go out of his way to buy her preferred hygiene products and also buys her sweets!

[yanortaboi]

some people think about kingdom hearts too much

[imagine-organization-xiii]

Organization XIII - Soldier, Poet, King

Thank you for the recommendation on Discord, Miss Silverspoon!

There will come a soldier who carries a mighty sword; he will tear your city down: Xigbar, Lexaeus, Xaldin, Saix, Axel

There will come a poet whose weapon is his word; he will slay you with his tongue: Demyx, Zexion, Vexen, Xion, Marluxia, Luxord

There will come a ruler whose brow is laid in thorn; smeared with oil like David's boy: Xemnas, Roxas, Larxene

Azem Headcanons

[Author’s note: I always go back and forth on the Azem lore in relation to Zero and Mikhail because I do not make their story standard approach to MSQ but had eventually come to the decision that Mikhail is NOT Azem due to his dragon origins and dragons in ffxiv originate from another world separate from the one that was sundered and are basically like aliens. He does however gain the seat of Azem, inheriting the star stone Emet-selch had made in secret and could be said to have taken up their will, narrative wise. *Zero is one of the incarnations of the last person who inherited the seat of Azem but had decided not to join her mentor for she did not see this as the “Answer”.] 

Concept 

Zero not joining or being involved at all in the crisis happening in the Convocation of Fourteenth is because I’m personally interested in the first appearance of the Watchers making their first move on other worlds and assimilating it into their network of information.  The first move they make is releasing a flower that will consume anything and take the data it has accumulated and either BECOME or send a proxy out that can shapeshift into the thing that it killed.  Zero as Azem is sent off to investigate this rumor of livestock and people going missing. A few interviewees even claimed to see some sort of amorphous monsters bringing offerings to a spherical white object made of unknown matter. (A/N:*chimera ant arc meets To your eternity)  This thing ends up getting the better of Zero and on the brink of the final days being amplified by the despairing telethy birds she is killed and consumed by the Flower and later takes on said form of Zero and finds it to be the strongest they’ve ever consumed.  Upon trying to shapeshift into the Zero’s form and data collected from her, Zero suddenly gains consciousness of her situation and in one last act of self sacrifice asserts her will over the Flower and attempts to kill herself and the flower with it. For this life form called the Flower copies everything that is consumed including its soul.  Even if the Flower is incapable of processing such characteristics of humanity like feelings and emotions it will still absorb the information and try to culminate the data to the best within its given parameters set by its Creators. In an act of survival  it attempts to regenerate and revive itself but splits its power amongst five copies of the lifeform it absorbed called “Zero”.  The attempt at using creation magicks at its disposal ends horribly outside of its control as the telethy enacting the Final Days mutate the copies of Zero’s split soul and the Flower being that of a creation is susceptible to dynamis. All five copies of Zero, in a fit of fear and survival, flee from her attempt at rounding them up. With nowhere to turn for help in a situation outside of her expertise, seeing first hand what the Final Days is ravaging across the land with a plague of creation magicks and a Flower that is designed for its ceaseless hunger for apocalypticism. Amidst the chaos reaching a boiling point when the Convocation announces their proposal of the construction of Zodiark. None of her colleagues believe her story of a Flower Concept devouring anything in its reach without revealing that she too has been compromised by said blight.  Zero finds an unlikely ally in a powerful dragon far traveled from its star named Micheal.  To be Continued etc

Accord is of course monitoring and cataloging all of this. As this singularity and branch needs to be further studied for the ramifications it could hold for the future.

My headcanon for Demyx is that his Somebody’s name is “Méyd”

The “é” is pronounced the same way in Naminé’s name and the “yd” sounds like “id.”

[firestorm09890]

organization xiii (pre-roxas) headcanons but in the form of shitty tier lists and alignment chart

[leastrife]

Saïx/Isa is consuming my mind so have some headcanons:

- trans masc gay

- autistic

- he used to love history and English but upon loosing his heart lost interest in learning

- used to be taller than Axel and always bragged about it but when they finished growing Axel ended up taller which made him annoyed

- After KH3 still struggles with his new emotions and social interactions

- Constantly apologizes to Xion and makes sure she knows he sees her as more than a puppet now

- secretly likes watching cartoons

- got a job at the Bistro in Twilight Town

- Isa fell in love with Lea before the organization but never told him, and after the organization Lea was the first to confess his feelings for Isa

[leastrife]

Axel didn’t really understand where the tears came from. Without a heart the numbness in his mind made it seem illogical. Saïx said so too. Still he found himself bursting into tears. Though this was better. Saïx was the one who cried. He would lock himself away breaking as if they were loosing their hearts all over again.

“Let me cry your tears for you.” Axel wiped away Saïx’s tears, letting his hand cup Saïx’s face. He pressed their foreheads together. “You will be strong for both of us. I’ll shoulder your weakness.”

Now Axel seemed to feel the memories of pain that Saïx would feel were they not Nobodies. He couldn’t stay strong. Their lives had changed and he couldn’t change with it. He longed for the smell of the flowers in Radiant Garden and the salty sweet taste of his favorite ice cream. The tears came in waves as he thought of those times.

Axel heard Saïx step into his room. Axel didn’t turn. He remained seated on his white bed with its white blanket wrapped around his shoulders. He stared at the heart shaped moon outside the large glass window.

“Axel.”

Axel hummed in response. The mattress dipped under Saïx’s weight.

“You’re crying again.”

Axel glanced at Saïx.

“Nobodies cannot cry,” Saïx insisted. Clearly they could. Saïx wiped away Axel’s tears and cupped his face as Axel had done not long ago. Axel leaned into Saïx’s cool touch. Saïx then pulled something out of his pocket. Something shaped like a pen. Saïx removed the cap. “Hold still.” Axel followed the order. Saïx took the pen and made a small marking under each of his eyes.

Axel almost went to touch it before worrying it would smudge. He stood up and walked to the mirror on the white closet. “Upside down tear drops?” He questioned.

Saïx got up and walked over to him. He took Axel’s hand in his. “I read they help keep tears in. No more crying.” Saïx looked into Axel’s eyes. “We can both be strong.”

Axel knew Saïx was serious. Eye contact was not one of Saïx’s strengths. No more tears.

“Xemnas cannot suspect us. He’ll turn you into a dusk if he sees you crying.” Axel swore he heard fear in his friend’s voice. Axel didn’t know what that meant yet. He had paid little attention to things he should have.

“Thank you,” Axel said. Hopefully it worked. He had been assigned the position of assassin. What kind of assassin couldn’t control his tears.

Axel didn’t cry a single tear since that day.

HI TUMBLR. Here is my HC on how Axel got his tears charms.

SO. IN MY EVIL BRAIN.

we all know saix YEARNS for a heart. he literally talks about it constantly. "if i had a heart this is where i would laugh" "we know how to injure a heart" "where..where is my heart?"

when they both first became nobodies ISA was the one who cried a lot since well. THE YEARNING IS RIGHT THERE. he cried A LOT and Lea was like: we have to work together. don't cry, isa. i will cry for you.

so lea ended up crying because he wanted to protect isa.

as a form of repayment in like a fucked up but angsty oh god why help me. type of way, isa gave lea the tears to protect him.

Then. (Waves my hand.) Everything happened. I like the idea they tried to use their somebody names before it switched up...so ISA gave LEA the tears but slowly it became AXEL who wore them. Giggles.

[catboygirljoker]

you ever think about the org13 poker league?

Xemnas: Luxord tried to ask him to play once and got that Nobody stare. Also, would not be good at it—completely unreadable but can't really keep track of what's going on or what his opponents are doing, and doesn't know how to tell if someone's bluffing.

Xigbar: Plays regularly and is very good at it. Really good at bluffing and reading his opponents and goading them into giving him more information. Gets ballsy with his strategy sometimes, which throws off the more experienced players.

Xaldin: Plays occasionally. Broadly feels it's beneath him. Is half-decent at it—strategic mind, good at reading his opponents, not very easy to read himself, but he does have tells.

Vexen: Has played a handful of times. Decent poker face, good at the strategic elements, but easy to trip up. Becomes easily frustrated with any task he does not immediately master.

Lexaeus: Plays regularly, pretty good at it. Ironclad poker face. His big weakness is that he's too cautious, and doesn't win as often as he could.

Zexion: Doesn't play. Knows he'd suck at it. The social aspect scares him off—both in terms of the social gameplay, and in terms of having to spend time with his coworkers.

Saïx: Doesn't play. Sees it as a waste of time. Everything about his characterization in Days, especially the ways he refuses to recognize the humanity in others and the importance of connection and friendship, makes me think that he would have SEVERE trouble with the social aspects of the game. Can't wrap his brain around the idea that he has to read other people and that they'd be able to read him.

Axel: Plays semi-regularly. Terrible liar, not amazing at the game, but has fun. Uses the time to keep an eye on who might be a threat to his and Saïx's goals, and to observe how his fellow members behave when they lie or are caught in a lie.

Demyx: Demyx is not permitted to participate in Organization XIII poker games ever since he turned up naked at Saïx's door in the middle of the night, asking where he can get a new coat, and not to ask where his old coat is or who won it off him or why he let Xigbar convince him a two pair is a good enough hand to bet it on.

Luxord: Actively does not play as well as he could because he wants people to play with him. Uses his full power only on occasion and only against certain people. Ironclad poker face, perfect record in his mind of which cards have been played and how much players have bet and what strategies they have employed in the past and how likely they might be to change that up. Has been accused of cheating. Never ever ever cheats.

Marluxia: Plays semi-regularly. Often too busy with "personal matters" [planning a coup] to play. Pretty good. Unfortunately, very unfortunately, pretty easy to read.

Larxene: Luxord asked her to play one time and she looked at him like he was something she'd picked off her shoe. Would suck at it.

Roxas and Xion: Luxord teaches them but doesn't let them play in the league proper because they all bet money and liquor and stuff. Roxas can't really get his head around all the different hands; Xion enjoys it a bit more, but gets discouraged easily when she isn't great at it right away.

these are just my headcanons be niceys to me. also my entire experience with poker is balatro so
