i want to preface this by saying that i know its not anyone else's responsibility to cater to my needs, and i dont want to sound selfish, but i just wish people would use the tagging system accurately sometimes.

as yall know ive been obsessed w dc recently but the amount of batcest that appears whenever i search up anything related to the batfam is so.. aaa. i get some people enjoy it but its really not for me, and its so frustrating to see things that are clearly batcest tagged as batfam or just batman in general. especially when its explicit or nsfw content.

ive blocked so many of the batcest ship tags along w the ship itself but people keep tagging things incorrectly or just not tagging them at all. along w this, a lot of it will be clear age gap w one character being a minor while the other is a grown adult (tim and jason, literally any batfam member shipped w damian, etc) and it won't be tagged appropriately either.

i don't want to be rude or offensive or anything like that, it's just something that i've noticed lately that lowkey icks me out. it makes scrolling through the tag very uncomfortable when one minute im looking at cute family fluff and the next im looking at an image of bruce and damian making out. aaaa.

sorry for rambling yall 😭

art dump timeee

lots of pokemon stuff i hope you like it :) this is a looooooooooong post

Originally these were just design mashups, at least, that was the plan for my "redesigns"... but it really made me realize how little they change Red throughout the generations. hence why he looks VERY similar to his canon design, i just added some things i guess. for Blue i could go absolutely ham with things i wanted in his design since there's so much to choose from. the fang idea comes from my friend. also, these are pretty much used for an AU based off of the RG project romhack by @shima-draws (i hope tagging is okay aaa) bc i played it with my friend and we really liked it and it converted him into a pokemon fan and namelessshipper :) In the end we made our own AU based off of it because other characters got thrown into it. we're continuing the timeline in soul silver :p

Here's a design for Leaf, she's Red's sister in my headcanon, i again went for the design mashup thing so that's why she looks like a mashup of Green and Leaf. i don't have much to say here....

Then there's some designs i can't show but it's for the reason that they are just human + trainer versions of sonic exes (not joking, i wish i was. my friend dragged them into our mini-roleplays, only two and they were Red's traveling companions and later Kris's too.)

Then here's a redesign inspired by other Daisy designs. dunno why but i just wanted her to be pink....

Eepy...

even more eepies....

then i made some silly redesigns/design mashups for Ash and Gary

And drew Red and Blue in alola. married dudes -w- Just in general my headcanon is that Red collects keychains, he probably has boxes worth of keychains and puts different ones on his bag every day, he even did this as a child he just didn't stop even into adulthood. Still a kid at heart with his silly keychains more headcanon rambles: Blue hates the cold but loves the warmth and Red loves the cold and hates the warmth. please put him into a freezer he can't handle the heat of alola- also yeah i know i messed up the number on Red's shirt, i learned how to draw 96 after this, i promise

And now we get to Pokemon Soul Crystal,,, which is just pokemon soul silver but with a patch that makes Lyra into Kris lol

Here she is!! i tried incorporating some bits from Lyra and her comfy outfit is based off of Gold i swear i love Kris's design in canon, the hair is a lil funky tho so i made the pigtails a bit shorter and poofier

then we got Silver here... again not much change, i love his design, i just wanted to add some moon details bc why not

I'll batch these together! here's some redesigns for the OG trio for Soul Crystal

Blue is supposed to look like he's been crying (sorry Blue :C) Red just makes me think of pokepastas im sorry, once he gets off mt. silver he'll get a haircut. Leaf is just. i dunno, i don't really know how to characterize her... she cares a lot about people but she's kinda bitchy about it. tough love i guess.. I think after soul crystal is over i'll get working on an continuation of that that isn't tied to a game where she gets more of an important role so i can work on her character. Blue is wearing lots of reds/warmer tones cause why not and Red is supposed to wear lots of blues/colder tones to give a little bit of a connection i guess.

Now, here's the final drawing before i show shitpost stuff, this was drawn with a drawing tablet rather than a mouse like usual

lines are a little funky but i like how this looks, i just need a bit more practice, i'm rusty on drawing with a pen

and now, shitpost:

i love Cinder the Typhlosion,,,, he's so cute

i know this is at the top of the post but i wanna put this here again and credit the idea for this: here.

that's all, goob bye i'll go back into hibernation

[harukapologist]

[akalegos]

YESYEYSEYSEYESY THANK YOU SM FOR NOTICING IT MADE ME NEED TO RUN A MARATON !!!! im chinese myself so when s15 hinted sarge to be part chinese i went. INSANE. my fav is just like me ?? URGH I ATE IT UP!! i think red team celebrate chinese (lunar) new year and have hotpots and dinners as a team (sometimes the blues join for bbqs) it gen makes me so happy that sarge is (at least somewhat) like me 

someone also mentioned about sarges hair and i always thought that sarge would have been around his 40s during bgc, and like a lot of adults i knew growing up he would dye his hair black whenever his grey hairs come out 

when you're red and you delete the blues idk i dont watch this show

If you run across this blog, you have officially been sucked into a whirlpool of reblogs, ramblings and the occasional (really, Ish? Occasional?) brainrot over fiction. Do stay for tea.

Some things if you do stay over for tea:

- I'm fine with interacting with people of age 14 and above, but I understand if you're not okay with me. Just be warned: this is a 16+ blog, I may or may not post suggestive stuff. Read at your own caution, I am not responsible if you do.

- That being said, this is a safe space. Bigots of any sorts are welcome to leave.

- I'm not online all that much, so I apologize if I'm a bit late in responding to you. Feel free to send me asks.

Now that's out of the way–

Hi, the name's Ish, and I'm just a very awkward teen guy who sounds like a golden retriever but is not. Nice to meet ya. He/him but gender neutral's cool too.

I'm... supposedly an INTP (or INTJ? Still working it out), but best not to ask. I have an identity crisis almost every other day. Probably INTP. Still not sure. Help.

Please do not ask me to speak in Hindi, I will probably make you cry from how horrible my vocabulary is. Course B go wiiiiii

I also have a horrible tagging style. Sorry about that. Did I mention I apologize and use the crying emoji a lot? If I didn't, now you know.

Proud member of Girlfriend FC and La Familia Nami. Don't ask. It's too long a story. Maybe some other day.

Likes: Academia, books in general, poetry, animanga (I'm sounding super nerdish now aaa), talking to the peeps I like, fictional characters, COFFEEEEEEEEEEEEE, being alone (please talk to me though, I like you guys talking to me). Also, lazing around is a given I relate to Nagi so much. Please talk to me about your interests, I would love that.

Expect a lot of edits to this :)

[pigeon-princess]

sorry for the aggressive spam liking through your curse of strahd tag i could NOT resist. gonna get my grubby little hands on your zine asap. i want to study silas like a bug. resisting the urge to read thru your session recaps because our campaign is still in its early stages... but know i am watching EAGERLY to see what crops up next regardless!!!!!!!!!!!!

additionally, as much as i wanna say that silas would love my autistic, rambling, wizard-coded pc, i think a lot of the shine would wear off when they eventually realize he's actually a warlock. (it's not ismael's fault. he only has 2 months of memory. and lots of innate arcane knowledge)

AAA NO NEED FOR APOLOGIES AT ALL THANK you so much for the CoS LOVE!!! I always love to see the notifications! I absolutely understand the early Curse of Strahd spoiler struggle, even halfway through the campaign I am avoiding spoilers like the plague. 10/10 would put Silas in a jar to study him. I truly think he could use the enrichment.

I'm sure Silas and Ismael would get along very well even if he is a warlock! As long as he's not a bard I think Silas would still have some respectful curiousity hahaha!! Again thanks so much aaaa!

[borderlinereminders]

hi aa sorry i rambled in the tags of a post i reblogged from u bc your recent posts have all resonated hardcore and they always do in a reassuring or helpful advice kinda way, but since this made me think of a few questions u might have good advice for i wanted to send an ask too (dw abt answering quickly or at all tho, i am vibing and it also helps me to reach out in general even if its just expressing stuff if ur not sure how to respond aaa)

i wanted to ask if there are resources to learn DBT skills that dont involve group and individual therapy ? either resources to help someone go through the workbook on their own or if individual therapy is ever offered for that

and if you have advice for ways to find support as an autistic adult ? ive been curious if there are support groups anywhere, ideally online bc idk if thered be any near me, bc hearing about other peoples experiences has helped me a lot recently and things have been extra hard recently w all that for me, i think i am autistic burnout mode and meltdowns have gotten often and more horrible and i feel ive learned some how to manage that for myself but it's hard and hard to find advice or people who understand this experience

so i wanted to ask about any type of support that could offer advice or reassurance for experiences like meltdowns

thank u so much, this blog gives a lot of hope and support to me ♡♡♡ you are so amazing amd people sharing advice and experiences like you do makes me feel seen and understood and reassured and less alone and more validated bc it can be hard to struggle and not know how to help yourself, but even harder to feel like it's unreasonable to struggle and ive always felt like that pretty often so it helps to know other people can relate and that there is hope even if stuff wont look the same for everyone, and i think letting go of the expectation to be like everyone else helps a lot too

thank u for the validation and reassurance and good advice always ♡

Hi anon,

Some of my favourite worksheets are on therapistaid. I’m not sure what resources to suggest to aid getting through them, but I find these worksheets to clearly lay stuff out with examples which I always find helpful!

Here’s a link!

I’m sorry I don’t have advice for the rest. Maybe some followers have ideas about finding support as an autistic adult?

Also, thanks for the kind words!

[lonely-night]

ISTG if this show ultimately is about that twink im gonna kill someone

it's call AGATHA ALL ALONG not b*lly m*ximoff all along

agatha is such an asshole.... I LOVE IT

[crystallinestars]

Hello! I stumbled upon your blog (I dunno still pretty new to tumblr despite being here for years. I don't interact much >_<) while gobbling up the Avenstelle buffet here in tumblr <3.

Anyways. I read the anons asks and your response and omygosh…I've never felt such a relief to find people who shares the same sentiments T_T. Especially the ones with Kaveh and Alhaitham? Gosh. I've never felt so validated about my feelings. Let me get started with Alhaitham.

Okay so in gacha games, (wuwa, hsr, gi, ak, r1999, etc.), I'm a husbando collector. I love collecting the men because they're hot and my eyes love them lol. So…essentially, I also pulled for Alhaitham. I loved him so much, like his personality, his design…I'm smitten. But after how I am bombarded with haikaveh shipping almost every socmed I go, twt mostly, I began to loathe it. Like, I don't really care about shipping. The shipping I only liked is Avenstelle in hsr, yet the incessant shoving of Haikaveh as canon to my face, even though they are not really canonized, just turned me off with Alhaitham, and subsequently, Kaveh as well even though I wanna love him too :(.

It makes me sad that the fandom pushes the only "correct way" to see this characters. How about us, who just wants to have some pixel husbandos for ourselves (lol sorry for the self insert). Kaveh also looks nice and he seems nice and I wanna love him too seeing as we are of the same profession (I'm an architecture student, hopefully passing our thesis and graduating next year!). I am also still on a mission of finding his mom in Fontaine rn (still waiting, hoyo, still waiting…)

Anyways, I am truly glad to see the same sentiments and knowing that I am not alone in noticing this toxicity happening in the fandom coz, what happened to platonic relationships? I dunno, but I really wanna see a heartmelting one and not a shipping one. Aaa I rambled too much haven't I? I'm nervous since this is my first asks. But I just wanna say that you made me feel safe and my heart is overjoyed. Thank you so much. <3 I'm gonna go for now because it's 12:51 am in my country and I need to sleep hahaha! Have a great day!

(Ah, may I please be 🌊 anon? Thankiees!)

Hello 🌊 anon! Thank you for working up the courage and taking the time to write to me. It made me so happy to read that my discussions with other anons made you feel safe. You are definitely not alone in feeling ostracized by the loud portion of fandom. And oh my gosh, you're an architecture student?! That's so cool! Good luck on passing your thesis!

I completely relate to your feeling of losing the love you had for a character due to their popular ship. I'm a Kaveh girlie, but I also like Alhaitham quite a lot since he's a very interesting and relatable character. Unfortunately, the prominence of haikaveh on every social media I visit, and the obnoxious claims of shippers that they're undoubtedly canon, tainted my view of him. I want to love Haitham, but some days it can be hard because seeing him triggers some negative feelings, though I try to push them down. I didn't care for the ship originally, but the behaviours of it's shippers really ruined my perception of it and BL as a whole.

It's only natural you feel that way since so much of the fandom looks down on self-shipping and gatekeeps characters from us. The way Mihoyo handles Haitham and Kaveh in particular doesn't help the situation for yumejoshi, which makes it feel worse.

The only way I find I can have fun is to block and mute all accounts who support the ships I don't like, and peacefully enjoy the content I like. Don't look at comments or the character tags for the sake of your mental health. It sucks that you have to restrict yourself so heavily, but sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do to keep yourself happy.

If you want to find more people with similar sentiments, feel free to join my discord group! There are lots of people who share your views (and who love Alhaitham), and we also have discussions about fandom and characters, and share fanart and fics. It's a bit like a support group for those of us terrorized by the toxicity of fandom. If you don't want to join, that's perfectly fine. No pressure.

I'm glad you found me, though I'm really curious how that happened lol I don't post any Avenstelle here (though my twt is basically pure Avenstelle and Kavehlumi), so it's a wonder how you found my blog by browsing Avenstelle posts. Regardless, welcome! I'm happy to have you here 😊

[gurokichi]

just went through your whole account, easy enough task so thank you for that, and im very sorry that one of your past relationships was so cruel to you, you genuinely deserve so much better than that, you're too sweet to deserve that type of treatment, and please dont think that you could ever be inherently "evil" or "bad" and that you would deserve to be treated poorly for that 🩵

WOAH?? I am flattered. I haven’t had this sideblog up for very long so there’s not a lot of posts… I need 2 make a tagging system so it’s easier to go through but I am so lazy.

Also, thank you. I appreciate it. It’s just hard to accept that there wasn’t a reason for all of that. He was my best friend for years, and I absolutely adored him when he wasn’t just being awful towards me. It’s easier to think that I did something to warrant that treatment because I still love him…most of the time. It’s really confusing. Thinking about him makes me really angry sometimes and other times just sad. Objectively, though, he sucked. I miss him a lot despite that. I left him on my own terms for the first and last time almost a year ago now and it’s been hard sticking to my promise to myself to not run right back. I’m used to him leaving me and then trying to come back/having me beg him to come back so it’s weird when I’m the one leaving for good.

AAA I AM CUTTING MY RAMBLING SHORT THERE. I just realized how much I typed. I got way too much lore with this man. Once someone gets me started on him, I just can’t stop!! At least it makes for some interesting stories ʅ（◞‿◟）ʃ

But seriously, I am grateful for you taking the time to send this ask in when you didn’t have to. Your words are very much heard and appreciated!! 🫶

[serenedash]

I will GLADLY tell you about khux AND khdr lore! My little disclaimer is that this is gonna be extremely long because I can't help myself. I can not say enough how fucking long this is I just went through the entire game. Sorry I just love these games a lot and to be fair there's a lot going on in khux specifically and this is definitely easier than watching 10+ hours of cutscenes.

If you wanna watch all of khux, watch this! And this for dark road! And also back cover,

We start out in Kingdom Hearts χ/Unchained χ (there is a reason for the name change I will get to it I promise), where you the player (just called Player by fans) are a wielder in Daybreak Town!! This is before the Keyblade War we know about in the current kh timeline so we're in the age of fairy tales when the worlds were still one. Daybreak Town is where keyblade wielders have come to live and everyone is in one of five unions, which are each led by a keyblade master. These masters are called the Foretellers (I'll circle back to them later in more detail). The Foretellers were apprentices under a guy known as the Masters of Masters (MoM for short to make this easier,) and he wrote a book called the Book of Prophecies that has the future written inside! and each Foreteller has their own copy.

So Player joins a union and has a fun cat companion named Chirithy and every wielder has their own Chirithy! The chirithies were created by the MoM to assist wielders and they're tied to a person's heart so if you fall to darkness, so do they, and if you die, they die too. We even get to see a conversation between two chirithies where one says their wielder had succumb to darkness and we literally watch this chirithy die. yeah. Anyway, Player goes on visiting worlds and collecting lux (literally meaning light) and meets a guy named Ephemera! (in english his name is Ephemer. idk why they took the "a" away.) Ephemera is from a different union but you become friends anyway and he tells you that the worlds you travel to actually aren't even real and he wants your help to prove it! Player is severely confused but agrees to help. In fact, Player had a dream the night before about the Foretellers talking to the MoM in a mysterious room and Player and Ephemera decide this must be in the clocktower in the center of town. So then it's time to break into the clocktower! But right when you and Ephemera find the entrance, he says to stop for the night since its late and tomorrow you'll go together. So tomorrow comes and you wait for Ephemera. and you wait and wait and wait and wait and he doesn't come. Instead we see Ephemera going by himself before getting caught by a shadowy figure.

Player continues to wait every day until getting approached by a girl named Skuld. Skuld also knows Ephemera and she's also looking for him! She says that she had a dream with Player in it and thinks she was meant to find you. So you go off and look for Ephemera together! Except every NPC tells you to stop because he's probably dead because wow who would've thought a town inhabited by children fighting monsters was not safe. Anyway, Player and Skuld go to the clocktower and are confronted by [insert the foreteller of the union you're in except if you're in Ava's union then it's someone else]. Insert Foreteller Here says that Ephemera had gotten into the clocktower and that they KILLED THAT GUY!! Totally killed him because fuck those kids in other unions and he wasn't supposed to be here anyway. Player decides to stand up to their master going off on why killing people is wrong because hey that was my friend :( and for speaking out of turn you fight! And then jk its not the master of your union at all it was Master Ava, one of the foretellers all along!!! She has illusion magic so she tricked your ass and she's like "haha sorry <3 I didn't kill ephemera he's fine I just lied <3 he's safe tho I promise I just asked him to take care of something for me," and then she says that there's a war coming that's going to not only kill everyone involved but destroy the world. Ava is currently getting strong wielders together for a group she calls The Dandelions and telling them to run from Daybreak Town before it's too late so light can live on and there's still wielders left to protect the world. Skuld says of course she'll join the Dandelions!!! Player says "no thanks!"

Shit hits the fan pretty fast from here as tensions rise in town. Unions are quickly turning on each other, people fighting in the street, fuck even the foretellers are fighting each other in the street!!! At one point Player even confronts one of these foretellers fighting in the streets and nearly dies fr!! Shit is getting crazy so Player and Skuld decide to look for Master Ava again. She's kinda hard to find tho so instead they go to this other guy Master Gula. At this point, Gula has basically given up, he doesn't give a shit anymore, and just tells Player and Skuld there's no use trying to stop anything especially since Gula reveals to them that there's a traitor among the Foretellers that lead to all of this happening. He says that Ava had went to even figure it out herself by trying to track down their master, who had disappeared before the start of the game. At the same time this is happening, Ava is talking to another guy named Luxu who is also a keyblade master under the MoM but he is not a Foreteller and doesn't have a union or a copy of the book of prophecies. He had disappeared too so Ava is like "wtf where have you been! where is the master! and what is going on!" Luxu answers all of her questions but we don't get to see what he says. Whatever he says makes Ava angry and she attacks him, accusing him of being the traitor, and it's at this moment when they fight that the clocktower rings for the first time and that signals the start of the war. So Gula tells Skuld and Player to be off to wherever they need to be to prepare and they leave.

It's at this point that Player and Skuld run into some weird heartless that look kinda like people and they can even talk a little! A dark Chirithy then appears and tells them that these were once wielders and they've fallen into darkness. Player had actually unknowingly met this Chirithy early in the game where it had given Player a bracelet that "gives them power" (it does not, what it does is collect darkness so this dark Chirithy reveals that Player has unknowingly been using the power of darkness this whole time). Anyway shit gets crazy real fast and this Chirithy absorbs these weird heartless and becomes a huge monster called Nightmare Chirithy. After defeating it, it leaves some ominous words that it wants to meet again in another dream. After this, the Keyblade War finally happesn and Player goes off to fight. You end up fighting every foreteller except your own master and you watch as people die. Yeah. and as Player lays there, literally dying with Chirithy by their side and Kingdom Hearts above, Skuld appears!!! with Ephemera holy shit!!!! Player then wakes up in another world then, saying they had a strange dream, and brushes it off. And mysteriously enough, Maleficent is here now and makes a comment about how Sora can't get to her here. Well that's weird! And this is where χ/Unchained χ ends.

Now I'm gonna backtrack for a second to talk about Kingdom Hearts Back Cover, which is a cutscene movie that shows what the foretellers were up to during All of That (please watch it I love the foretellers so much ;_; ) I won't go into extreme detail but what's important to know is that the MoM had set this shit up very much on purpose. He gave each foreteller a role that was meant to conflict with each other to start conflict so that it would start the war and no matter how hard they tried to stop it, it only got set in stone harder. The big part of Back Cover that's important is that we see the details of Luxu's role: he's given the No Name keyblade with the purpose of staying on the sidelines and watching the war so that the eye on it (the MoM's eye) can see the future and write the Book of Prophecies and eventually pass it down to other wielders to see further in the future. Luxu also gets the mysterious black box (we still have no idea what its for) and MoM tells him to get out. Bye boy,

Anyway now the game is called Union χ [Cross]! I promise later I will explain the titles. So with the foretellers gone, the wielders that are left, who are the group Ava made called the Dandelions, need some guidance. Ava had been instructed by MoM to name 5 specific wielders the leaders of the Dandelions (he had given her a hand written list and circled one person on that list to receive a copy of the book of prophecies. THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT REMEMBER THIS). The leaders are: Skuld, Ephemera, Ventus (yes THAT Ventus), a guy named Brain, and-

We see a cutscene of a girl named Strelitzia. She's very shy and sweet and has watched Player from afar and wants to be their friend!! But girl has social anxiety and it's hard. However, we get to see that Ava had approached her and asked her to be a Dandelion leader and she accepts! And now she's forcing herself to talk to Player because she wants to make sure they escape the war. She follows after Player and Skuld when they go to talk to Gula but gets there too late after everyone has gone. So she goes to leave, a little defeated, and surprised she is fucking MURDERED!!!! Yup. Right then and there by a shadowy figure who then takes a book from her that Ava had given her (not The book but it's just a rule book Ava wrote to give to each leader to help them be leaders).

Anyway the 5th leader is a guy named Lauriam. Yes he is Marluxia's somebody. He shows up very late and apologizes because he was looking for something. In fact Lauriam is consistently late to things or just straight up not around because he's "looking for something." So the Dandelions go about their Dandelion business and start going through these rule books from Ava. First order of business: wipe the memories of war from everyone's minds. This is a bit of a debate but the leaders decide that they'll follow the rules. The reason for this is because Ava wanted to prevent darkness growing from sad/hurtful memories. Brain then invents dream eaters. They are so cute :) they literally eat the memories of everyone in town except the leaders. Next order of business: make everyone fight in a PVP arena experience??? Yes this is important I promise. No one is thrilled about this since there was just a fucking war. But Ephemera says that there are these computers in the clocktower that hold data of the entire town and everyone in it so everyone will just fight holograms and not real people problem solved :) In fact he even got this idea from Lauriam who wanted to search the data for.... something.

Speaking of Lauriam, he's meeting up with a girl named Elrena. Yes this is Larxene's somebody. He tells her that his sister Strelitzia is missing!!!! He hasn't seen her since before the war and knows that Elrena is friends with Strelitzia. Elrena hasn't seen her either so they decide to figure it out together. The only lead they get is Elrena's Chirithy saying that according to Strelitzia's Chirithy, Strelitzia was going after. some person. and Elrena's Chirithy saw that person with Skuld (aka the scene where you talk to Gula and then Strelitzia gets murdered but Elrena's Chirithy did not see all that). Lauriam confronts Skuld, she has no idea what's going on, and Lauriam reveals to the others what's been going on and they all try to help him out. Lauriam even meets Player! Player feels bad because they never met her :(

Anyway, it's at this point things start to get... weird. and by weird I mean things are literally glitching out and everyone goes "hey uh why am I seeing buildings glitch and glitches that look like people." Player and Ephemera end up running into these strange glitchy heartless and they run to the clocktower and run to Brain like "hey man what is going on!!!!" Brain is the smart one as you may have guessed. Brain says "yeah actually we're trapped in a data world right now and something is going seriously wrong" and the thing is, they had no idea!! The leaders were aware they had entered but were unaware they never left since the data is so realistic. In order to escape the destruction of the war, the dandelions would go into a temporary dataspace while the world healed and then would leave. This time spent in the data is referred to as an "unchained state" literally unchained from reality-- so while χ (the original 2013 browser game) is the events that unfolded in the real world, Unchained χ (the 2016 mobile game remake) is the dandelions post war reliving their memories and making new happier memories that light can be born from (and Union Cross being the current state of the game where unions don't really matter anymore since the dandelions are all one group so. when the unions. when the unions are crossed. Union Cross was also a multiplayer game mechanic where you could play with real people regardless of union).

Okay here is the ONLY disney thing that matters: wreck it ralph is an original world to khux and it's a data world that was not intentionally made for the dandelions but instead made by "someone else" (it was probably the Nightmare Chirithy yeah remember that guy, it's back again). Well whatever is happening, it's causing everyone to be trapped in the data world now so Brain sets to work on figuring it out as The Computer Guy TM. Brain has a plan (no he doesn't he lied) so he gives into looking inside of the Book of Prohpecies. Yup he was the leader with it all along and actually we already knew this but Brain doesn't make a big deal out of it because he purposefully does not want to read it because he doesn't want to be tied down by a pre-written future. But surprise surprise when he opens it he finds the very list of leaders the MoM gave to Ava!!! See I said it was important. And on that list he sees Strelitzia's name instead of a certain someone (also Ephemera's name is circled he was supposed to get the Book and not Brain). Brain doesn't know what to do so he turns to Ephemera and they decide to confront Skuld and Ventus before going to Lauriam about it. Brain tells them that Ventus was not on the list!!! Ven doesn't understand because he remembers clearly Ava asking him to join (he doesn't actually he has conflicting memories of this moment). No one really knows what's going on especially since thinking so hard literally makes Ven pass out. oops.

While all that was happening- Lauriam was busy inside of the clocktower. Remember I mentioned Maleficent? Yeah she's in the clocktower and in a room that looks just like that one weird room in Hollow Bastion. idk what it's called here's a picture in kh1 and in khux.

Lauriam is here fighting with Maleficent. She's like outta my way I'm getting out of this fucking computer! Lauriam is like haha nice try! (He gets his ass beat and Maleficent hops into a pod and bounces from the data world). This actually is the plothole that ties up how Maleficent returns in kh2 after being killed in kh1. She even reveals in khux she learned time travel tricks from Xehanort and that's how she even ended up in khux in the first place because when she was killed and her heart seperated from her body, she went into the past.

Anyway, Lauriam returns to the where everyone else is and walks in right as Brain is saying that Strelitzia is probably dead. Obviously he flips his shit. Brain had proposed the idea that some kind of darkness was manipulating them and trying to turn them all against each other. Ventus helpfully (read: unhelpfully) enters the room again and says "hey I killed Strelitzia btw" because he fully remembered that. Yeah actually that happened and he was there when it happened-- Ventus was manipulated by a shadowy figure that is just called "Darkness" and took refuge in Ventus's heart to enter the data to destroy the dandelions.

Pausing for a minute to talk about Darkness. In flashbacks we see the MoM explain to Luxu that there's more than just regular ol darkness and heartless but a kind of older, sentient hivemind type of darkness, and this is the Capital "D" Darkness. It's something that keyblade wielders have been fighting for a long time, the MoM explains he's seen many masters killed by Darkness. MoM's whole goal in fact is to kill Darkness for good! At this point, Darkness had split itself into 13 parts. His plan this whole time has been to trap Darkness in order to destroy it. He does this in two ways: the first was to train his apprentices to have insanely strong hearts and reveals to Luxu that himself, Luxu and all the foretellers literally have pieces of Darkness within them. Okay so that's the first 7 pieces; the rest he baited into going into the data world by starting the war and having it follow the Dandelions and then trapping them in the data. How does it work? Well when Maleficient escaped, it started the data locking mechanism that will shut down the data Daybreak Town and after that no one can escape.

Hey that's bad because that's where we're at now lol so back to the Dandelions. Ventus confesses to murder, Lauriam is about to commit a murder, Brain is losing it because he's figured out that's what the darkness wants. Darkness (or at least one piece of it) appears now!! Bursts right out of Ventus and is like "lol hi guys yeah I totally murdered that girl <3 no reason why I just wanted to do it" so the Dandelions (and Player who is also here btw) fight Darkness! It's too strong tho so Ventus decides since this is "his fault" he'll choose to lock the Darkness away in himself and "turn it to light" (spoiler: this is implied to be how Vanitas comes to be). So Ven saves everyone but now the actual issue: the fact that they are running out of time VERY FAST to escape from the data world. Also Elrena shows up again and says she saw Strelitzia with a mysterious figure (maybe Luxu? we don't know). They don't have time to talk about it tho.

Here's the problem tho: with Maleficent taking one pod and one pod getting destroyed in the fight her and Lauriam had, not everyone can escape. What they decide on is Brain, Lauriam, Elrena and Ventus leaving while Ephemera, Skuld and Player stay behind. Brain also hands over the book of prophecies and his keyblade (the master's defender!!) to Ephemera. Ephemera, Skuld and Player get to have one fucking second of peace before just a bunch of pieces of Darkness show up to kill them. Darkness demands to be let out of the data. Ephemera says no. Player says "you fool" and Darkness has taken a hold of Player!!! The final fight in the game is you fighting Ephemera and Skuld. Yes it hurts so much. It also hurts when Ephemera shoots Player right in the stomach and sends your ass back to wreck it ralph along with the pieces of Darkness. And as Player lays dying, they reveal to the Darkness that they just pretended to be taken over by it, and now they're all trapped in god damned wreck it ralph together. So as Player dies and the data world locks itself and presumably destroys itself, we see Chirithy and Player have a conversation about what happens now. We see the other Dandelions who couldn't escape dying, their hearts reform and combine with their chirithies to become dream eaters. Yeah. like in DDD. Those cute animals are dead kids. And Chirithy says to Player they can choose to become a dream eater, or have their heart reborn. Player chooses to have their heart reborn (it's not clear in game but the person Player is reincarnated into is the new Player in Missing Link and goes on to raise Xehanort as their child; we are shown scenes of Xehanort as a baby in Scala ad Caelum being handed off to Old Player 2 by his mom who looks like Skuld idk man).

Back to the Dandelions-- Ephemera and Skuld escape the data at the last minute. Lauriam and Elrena end up presumably without any memories and are scouted in Org XIII by Xigbar (who we now know is Luxu). Ventus is found by Xehanort. Ephemera ends up in the middle of the ocean and goes on to found Scala ad Caelum. Brain ends up in Scala ad Caelum but long after Ephemera has passed and presumably this is where Missing Link begins. Skuld's fate is unknown but there is a strong possibility she's Subject X. Strelitzia is now in Quatratum, somehow, along with the MoM who also purposefully is there bc there's a scene where he tells Darkness that's what he's doing.

But let's circle back to Brain rq-- because when he left the data, he didn't actually go on immediately and instead sent Lauriam, Elrena and Ventus to safety. In fact, Brain was willing to stay behind in destroyed Daybreak Town by himself but he's actually confronted by Luxu of all people!!! Luxu had followed the Dandelions this whole time because he wanted to protect them! And he says it's a shame Brain will die here. It's not clear what happens next but it's implied that Luxu takes Brain as his first vessel (personally I think Luxu sent Brain's heart to the future in Scala ad Caelum while Luxu took his body). We finish khux on a scene with Brain in a black coat, with No Name and the black box.

Okay now let's talk about dark road ITS SHORTER I PROMISE!!!!!!! I PROMISE--

Okay so this is obviously the Xehanort game, you are Xehanort now. Xehanort was raised by Player as I mentioned before and Player tells young Xehanort that he's related to Ephemera (this is not explained idk man) and that Xehanort is going to grow up to be a powerful keyblade wielder that will protect the light as "a child of destiny." Future Xehanort (the brown robe no heart one we see in kh1) shows up and opens the portal that takes Xehanort to Scala ad Caelum where he begins his keyblade training. Okay so there are a ton of characters but I'm only gonna name a few: in Xehanort's class all you gotta know is his classmates Bragi and Baldr and ofc Eraqus is there too. Eraqus is actually related to Brain btw, he's his grandson and we don't know the details but Brain ended up "disappearing" after fighting Darkness. Eraqus does not like to talk about this.

So Xehanort and co. (minus Baldr, he is not here atm) are told by their master that the upperclassmen are missing after setting off on their mark of mastery test and he's going to send all of them to find them (why send children with even less experience? who knows) and also specifically says Baldr isn't coming Baldr is doing something else. This is because Baldr's older sister is among the missing students.

Eventually, Xehanort and Eraqus run into an upperclassman named Vidar! And Vidar says some very strange stuff about darkness and kingdom hearts and then doesn't elaborate but basically Vidar and some of the other upperclassmen are planning on destroying seven pieces of light (which are "important items" from other worlds like the lamp in agrabah and the rose in beast's castle) to summon kingdom hearts. Why? Because the majority of the upperclassmen (including Baldr's sister) are actually dead and the remaining few want to destroy all darkness as revenge. It's not a very good plan tho, and they give up in hopes of finding a better plan.

Baldr shows up now! He's actually aware that his sister and most of the upperclassmen are dead. His idea is to go to the Underworld to speak with the dead students to figure out what kind of darkness killed them. So off they go and Xehanort and Eraqus talk to the dead upperclassmen and Baldr's sister asks Xehanort for a favor (I'll come back to this). Everyone did get separated tho and three underclassmen end up dying because of darkness while Xehanort and Eraqus are saved by their master.

Baldr isn't dead tho! And that's bad actually. Because Baldr was overtaken by darkness and was the one who killed the upperclassmen and the underclassmen AND his sister. Yeah. Baldr says he's always had strong darkness in him naturally while his sister had naturally strong light. While he chased after the light, he could never have it and it could never be him. To him, he was always living in the light's shadow and that's why he had to get rid of it and his negative emotions about light only exaggerated the darkness in him and now he's planning on killing everyone else and summoning kingdom hearts to destroy all light. Anyone left Baldr kills, which just leaves Xehanort, Eraqus and their master left. Baldr tries to get Xehanrot on his side, saying they're the same, and for a moment Baldr's sister appears just like how Eraqus did in kh3 from Terra's heart. Her favor to Xehanort was to let her stay in his heart so she could talk to her brother--- but in the end they still don't see eye to eye and Xehanort feels he doesn't have any choice but to kill Baldr and so he does.

Not long after this Xehanort and Eraqus become masters. We see future scenes throughout the game of them growing apart as their ideologies become opposite to each other. We see the scene in kh3 where young Xehanort meets the MoM and MoM really puts it in Xehanort's head that he's the only person who can make the "hard decisions" in life and his experience with having to kill Baldr for the greater good along with Player telling Xehanort he's a "child of destiny/light" only pushes this idea further and leads to who he ended up becoming.

Hey remember I mentioned that guy Bragi. At the end of all this, we get to see what actually went down in the Underworld. Baldr had gone to kill Bragi like he had with the others but Bragi overpowers him easily. Bragi tells Baldr that he actually doesn't wanna get in his way, especially since he can already tell Xehanort is gonna win in the end, and he makes a deal with Baldr. Basically, Bragi will leave and never come back and Baldr can continue his killing spree. Baldr agrees because he knows he can't win against Bragi. And it's in this scene it's revealed that Bragi was Luxu this whole time!! He even says "as if"!!! And it's assumed he leaves Scala ad Caelum after this.

and that's that!!!! that's the mobile game lore!!!!! please message me if you have any more questions believe me I know it's a lot but this was a massive story told over the course of 2013-2021!!!!

Yeah no I'm fine why (<- guy who is always 2 seconds away from exploding into a million pieces because of Kingdom Hearts Union Cross)
