oh man and im just remembering how dumb the damn unversed are they look like heartless and act like heartless and ARE EXACTLY HEARTLESS ‘theyre beings of pure unrestrained emotion who lash out angrily at everything around them’ ok but thats EXACTLY THE DESCRIPTION OF HEARTLESS except the bit on the end thats like ‘because they want your heart’ theyre just fuckin heartless but slightly blue tinted and with red instead of yellow eyes and they go out of their way to mimic all the archetypes that every game has to ahve, like the Large Bodies and the Nocturnes and etc and THEY LOOK REALLY SIMILAR EXCEPT FOR MORE COMPLICATED EYES and then the super shitty excusey way they FINALLY explain them in the last five minutes of the game as ‘fragments of vanitas’s heart’ like seriously it was already fuckin complicated enough to suddenly drop on us that roxas wasnt simply sora’s nobody but also a reflection of a real other guy who really existed years ago and somehow met sora in the spirit realm when he died and they fused or something and then also somehow this guy’s dark side looks exactly like sora BEFORE SORA and that part is never actually explained but also somehow mr dark side isnt actually a heartless but a something entirely else than can somehow vomit up mini heartless armies and like.. somehow never fuckin uses them to actually fight?? like seriously?? do we even ever see him in the same room as an unversed let alone controlling or creating them? it really feels like they wrote his entire character without this trait and then slapped it on in the last five minutes to have some sort of Shocking Twist or else just a goddamn excuse to have enemies cos seriously i bet they just wrote themselves into a corner and were like ‘damn we cant be fuckin logical and just have the heroes fighting Actual Bad Humans in the time before heartless’ or like.. fighting.. actual heartless.. seriously until they fuckin said ‘hey we made these new guys cos we got no heartless’, i literally never thought that heartless didnt exist back then! it would make absolutely no sense that xehanort/ansem made the first heartless in those experiments, i mean the whole Lore talks about how the worlds became separate long before any of these people were alive, and it was becuase of ‘darkness in people’s hearts’ so... yeah??? why not just say heartless are a primordial old evil that has had various outbreaks over history whenever some dood is super corrupt? and xehanort just released the latest ones + also did all those experiments to make the emblem variants so theyre even more dangerous than before, blablabla. Coulda just used all the same unversed designs and said theyre the non-emblem variants of Large Body, Nocturne, etc. Coulda even kept the different eyes idea and said they take on different evolutions each time they reoccur throughout history cos of the shape of the darkness in the heart of whoever called them. or whatever just anything except ‘dude somehow is able to create fifty billion minions from his butt yet somehow isnt overpowered and never uses this ever when he needs to’ seriously i shoulda had to fight another 1000 heartless battle just to get to this guy! if he has enough friggin MP to make EVERY SINGLE ENEMY WE FOUGHT IN THE ENTIRE GAME, then why did he ever stop???

*grump grump* im mad cos the designs are really cute and they’ll never get to come back ever again cos of the dumb vanitas backstory... also cos KH2/COM/Days/Coded already confused me and BBS was the absolute height of plot nonsense that made me quit the whole series for like 8 years im glad to be back but tbh i wish i could just ignore alllllllll of this plot shit and just get back to ‘fight the darkness, visit some cute disneys, cry over some soft protagonists who deserve a good hug’ but i cant cos that’d mean leaving behind all the scattered good bits in those million interquel games, like my beloved org 13 doofuses :/ why are my feelings so everywhere and nowhere at once and why am I googling lists of KH monster concept art at 4am and crying THEYRE SO FUCKIN CUTE AND IM SO SICK AND THEY HEAL ME why cant i hug the heartless aaa u can have my heart u were the primo cuteys of my childhood foreverrrrr god i need to go cook some mac n cheese 4am mac and cheese and heartless auuuuuauuuuuu
