Y’all ever think about if Sora falls to darkness that inside his heart will look like the Destiny Islands falling again

[viral-spirals]

i think about him often

Listen, focusing on a person's relationships/friendships with a bunch of people and their very strong relationship with a particular person are not mutually exclusive things. It is true there is a focus on bonds and the main character's relationship with multiple people as there is a very clear focus on their relationship with one particular person.

since we're all having fun talking about theories and headcanons before the game drops. one thing that i do want for missing link, that is mostly wishful thinking on my part, is a reveal for kairi being a descendant of the player

this is based on their parallels of being shooting stars later found washed up on a beach from the new missing link trailer, plus that one moment from KH1 where kairi's grandma tells her about the age of the fairytales and nothing else lmfao

and i want that so badly because. it would be so fucking ironic and poetic to have kairi be a direct descendant of the one person that raised and cared so much for xehanort. the player, whose memories of ephemer and skuld and chirithy and everyone else influenced xehanort into starting his whole ass spiral and descent into darkness

only for her (and sora) to be the ones to get xehanort to stop in the end. ending a cycle of sorts. for her to be haunted by the memory of xehanort, the same way xehanort was "haunted" by the memory of the player's past life

PLUS. i want it to SPECIFICALLY recontextualize kairi's inheritance of the keyblade from BBS. because kairi's reason to wield a keyblade being nothing more than an "accident" feels like such a disservice to her AND aqua??

if they could recontextualize xehanort into whole new depths in dark road, i dont see why they couldn't reframe that moment as kairi reclaiming a dormant power, her own heritage that her bloodline forgot for centuries, since knowledge about keyblades and wielders began to fade out over time to the point where people who KNEW about them thought they were evil. makes sense that as the age of fairytales is left FORGOTTEN, no one can remember how to summon a keyblade, let alone the knowledge to create one from someone's heart. but having a strong heart (one of the requisites for bequeathing ceremonies) and being in direct contact with a keyblade, could just. help jog the memory a bit

and show that yeah. kairi deserves to wield a keyblade because she has a strong heart, and because this was her heritage that was taken away from her when the worlds began to drift away from each other and so on. not because of an accident

everytime chance, fate and destiny are brought up in the saga to explain why something. happened the way it did. it carries so much weight and so many events that led to That Point. but kairi's inheritance as of right now was just. yeah, an accident. no ceremony at all AND I JUST THINK SHE DESERVES RLLY COOL THINGS OKAY

Nothing like reading a post on Kingdom Hearts news and getting jump scared by thirteen variations of "my ship is canon!!!!!". And it's always a fragment of the Sora/Riku/Kairi love triangle.

Fuck that noise. Sora would never choose one friend over the other. Destiny Trio forever.

(Do not tag as ship. Not that it's bad if you ship all three, but I made this post specifically because I'm tired of over shipping in the Friendship Video Game fandom.)

Thinking about the throne art from KH. The parallels between Xehanort and Sora. Kairi being put in Sora's place. What does it MEAN?

I wish it meant that Sora might become an antagonist. The cycle repeats. Children of destiny are destined to fall. What makes Sora special? He is a special little guy I love him, but...they are all special.

Maybe I should write a fic.

The jingle on the door followed by a cat sound to alert the owner someone walked in was heard. "Masaki ..." indeed a familiar face and one he welcomes unlike most customers here. "The usual?" asking if he wants what he usually orders for desserts.

I have copies of the com manga that I havent read yet and yesterday I flicked thru em to confirm 'yeah okay larxene's introduction literally shows her reading a book by the guy sadism is named after' but I got distracted by the little character profiles for the org.... 'zexion is meticulous by nature, but the word is he's a surprisingly domestic type' God you can Smell the impact these manga had on 2000s org13 fandom

I keep hanging on

Arin learns just how much resilience his teacher has. Lloyd would rather no one worry, especially not his student

Takes place after The Battle of the Second Monastery

When they emerged into the winding hallway that led to the Monastery of Spinjitzu, the first thing Arin did was force himself to look over at his teacher who was pale and unconscious in Zane's arms.

It made his stomach twist uncomfortably; every time he had seen the ninja fight, they were always okay by the end. 

He had heard about the fight against the former Jade princess Harumi where she had teamed up with Lord Garmadon and subsequently brought New Ninjago City to its knees, but he had been too young to remember the events and every fight after that had been successful. He had been given no reason to assume that this one would be no different.

And yet, the current events spiraling around him filled his thoughts with both worry and doubt that they had fully won. ‘You can’t win if not everyone is standing by your side.’

Arin didn’t understand why seeing his teacher so vulnerable and so hurt reminded him of the events of The Merge, specifically being swept away from his parents, but the emerging of that thought forced nausea down his throat with a sudden wave.

He was unable to shake the feeling even when Sora tapped his shoulder which effectively brought him to the task at hand, which happened to be figuring out what to do with several very large dragons.

“Maybe I should go make sure Lloyd is okay.” Arin suggested, only to be shot down quickly by his best friend.

“Nya, Kai and Zane know what to do. We have to make sure all of them,” she stopped to wave her hand in a gesture towards the dragons, “are okay.”

Even though Arin relented quickly, knowing that he would be more helpful with Sora and Wyldfire, he still couldn’t shake the sinking worry that filled his mind and his gut when he thought back to Lloyd’s nearly white face as he let out shallow breaths while being held onto tightly by Zane.

But all he could do was wait on answers.

One Week Later

“Zane, for the last time, I am fine.” Lloyd insisted as he sat on the end of his bed while Zane ran a vital check, “I just got a little dizzy, that’s all. That happens when you’re unconscious for six days.”

“I suppose you’re right,” Zane concluded as he finished running the diagnostic, “but making sure it wasn’t due to what happened before you collapsed is just a precaution.”

“I know,” Lloyd agreed with a nod and wishing that maybe, just maybe, he could go for the rest of his life without having another bone chilling vision like the one he had while freeing the dragons, “can you send Arin in here? I want to make sure he’s okay.”

“Of course,” Zane nodded and started to go to the door before stopping to look Lloyd in the eyes with a mix of admiration and pride, “you’re doing a good job with both of them.”

Lloyd couldn’t do anything but sit there in astonishment as Zane left the room; he knew that he was doing the same amount of teaching and guiding that he did for the other ninja when Krux and Acronix had become the center of their attention years ago, but hearing he was doing a good job, that was new.

He didn’t have a lot of time to focus on that, however, because Arin’s head poked through the door like a small child and he knew that he had to assure his student that he was fine in case they were attacked again before he really was one hundred percent.

“Arin, you can come in,” Lloyd insisted, waiting until the teenager closed the door behind him before asking, “are you okay?”

“Am I- I’m not the one who’s having dizzy spells and passing out because of dragon powers and having terrifying visions-”

“Okay, I get it, I get it,” Lloyd insisted, standing up and walking forward to place his hand on Arin’s shoulder, thankful that the dizziness had passed, at least for now, “take a deep breath, okay? I will be fine.”

“You don’t know that.” Arin protested, but Lloyd just shushed him until he calmed down some before leading him over to sit down on the bed beside him and pulling up his sleeves, hearing Arin gasp.

“All of these, and the ones here,” Lloyd pointed to his torso, “and here,” pointing to his legs, “are all from being a ninja.” Lloyd pulled down his sleeves before looking back at Arin, “I am not saying that to scare you, or to make you more worried about me. I’m saying that because I have been doing this for a very long time and I am always okay.”

“What about when you aren’t?”

“Yeah, there have been some close calls,” Lloyd admitted, his hand subconsciously going to the back of his head and the fight in Kryptarium Prison, “but nothing has gotten me yet; a little bit of dizziness isn’t enough to stop me and it’s definitely not something that you need to worry about.”

“What if it is?” 

“You’ll know if it is,” Lloyd insisted as they both stood up and started to head for the door, “but for now, you need to get back to training.”

“Are you training too?” Arin questioned with a raised eyebrow that reminded him of the many times when Nya was very disapproving of Lloyd’s actions after he had suffered some sort of trauma.

“No, I’ll just be observing. The others would kill me if I tried to train like this.”

“Is it bad that I’m grateful for that?” Arin questioned and Lloyd couldn’t help but smile when he gave his response while holding the door open for both of them to pass through.

“Not at all.”
