Was it me or was it….weirdly cathartic for ruby to just snap like that? Because for me it was…..oh man what does that say about me as a person……

no like it’s been building for YEARS and i hope it made her feel the slightest bit better but it still hurts to see it :(

You think pyrrha is a morning person? Because I’m writing a fic and I could see her as one of those people who gets up out of bed and then does some push ups to wake up.

i don't think i'd be able to think of pyrrha as anything but a morning person. maybe not naturally, but based on what we do know about her, i think she had a pretty strict training schedule that included waking up early, so she learned to be a morning person.

So this might be an odd ask, but how do you think Cassandra would react to Terry Mcguness as Batman Beyond? (Weird enough the later Batman beyond comics mention all the robins, Barbra, and even Duke, but nothing about Stephanie or Cass. God I don’t think they ever even mention Alfred!!)

I've always been a firm supporter of my favs getting to interact more, so a part of me that is still 14 and aspirational is answering this with an enthusiastic "They'd be besties! Great friends! Perfect team! He does the quips and she kicks the ass!"

Fourteen-year-old me has a strong voice but isn't always the most thought out, go figure.

For what I really think would happen, I would like to imagine that Cass would have a vested interest in Terry. Even if this is a reality where, for whatever reason, she didn't become Batman herself like she wanted to, or at the very least become a different Bat somewhere around the world, the symbol and duties of the Batfamily were exceptionally important to Cass still.

She might be slightly antagonistic at first -- girl can hold a grudge, after all lol -- and be testing Terry physically for the position. Y'know, why's this kid whose entire body language exudes cockiness and a lack of discipline suddenly in charge of the mantle so many have dedicated their whole lives to. But it would also be just as important to Cass for her to see that Terry's heart is his driving force.

She'd probably latch onto him and make herself his personal trainer and secret watcher in a far less antagonistic and deadly role than Lady Shiva once had.

As for why Batman Beyond comics mention every single Robin and Babs but not Steph or Cass:

Cowards.

Also probably somehow related to the DCU Batman Beyond comics being written and directed at first by Adam Beechen, the guy who infamously One Year Later'd Cass originally, and by 2010 he was not really looking to have any project he touched be related back to Cass in any way. And at this point it's just tradition.

You know I still find it surreal that horikoshi basically turned MHA into a post apocalypse world in just like two chapters.

Considering what happened in-story, I don’t blame him.

Honestly, I find it kind of impressive that he only did it with two chapters.

[empressofedge]

I uhh.........did not expect things to get THAT dark.........huh........why can’t I feel my anything?

I say again. Dear god

[yang-xiao-long-protection-squad]

......ok but why though?

valid question but you’re gonna have to be more specific bc i reblog a lot of questionable things

[angel-with-a-pipette]

Ok the one thing about remind that I call BS on, and considering that this is KH that’s pretty impressive, is that Riku, Kairi, and Presumably Sora, don’t look any older after a year when the last time they were apart for a year? Everyone looked different (KH1 to 2), Kairi’s hair isn’t even longer despite being sleep for a year!!

This is Ventus, age 16, Aqua, age 18, and Terra, age 20.

Four years earlier, Xehanort has ripped Vanitas out of Ven’s heart forcefully and Sora has mended Ven’s heart.

This is Ventus, age 12, Terra, age 16, and Aqua, age 14.

They just didn’t make separate models. Sure, you can argue this was for the PSP and it shouldn’t be a problem for the PS4, but this is just a DLC. Nobody knows if the characters will stay the same in the next game or if they will get an design overhaul once more. An anon even suggested that Kairi is in a timeless sleep, similar to Ventus, so she and Sora stay the same age (with Riku apparently aging?).

You also have to remember that the Destiny trio already changed a lot physically. Riku very well could be 17 or even 18. Sora and Kairi look quite younger than him, to be honest, but they’ve always had softer features and still matured a lot compared to their old designs.

Whatever Nomura plans to do with them, their look in the Re:Mind DLC isn’t the be all-end all. I will admit that Sora’s model seemingly underwent changes for the secret episode, but that might be messing with the engine and how powerful it is and how to get the effects the team wants with Versus the next KH title.

Blake’s gonna FUCK Neo up regardless of seeing if Yang is ok first. No one knocks her girlfriend into a abyss.

I saw an opportunity and I took it. Forgive me

[phoenix-downer]

Ok whenever I see blight sora? My brain for some reason thinks of Revan from KOTOR. A good guy who fell to darkness after fighting it for song? Plus KH and Star Wars do share some similar themes...

Sadly I have not played KOTOR (yet), but from what little I know, I think KOTOR could be a really great source of inspiration for Blight Sora like you said. And you’re absolutely right, KH and Star Wars do share a lot of themes. I got some serious Prequel Trilogy vibes from Birth By Sleep with Terra’s fall to darkness, and Mark Hamill voicing Eraqus was the icing on the cake! 

[tysonrunningfox]

Mummy AU is a legit great idea for hoccsyrid, Hiccup being a clumsy, acentric librarian that works at The museum his father owns, works along his annoying but good intentioned cousin. Finds the key, accidentally burns the map to hamunara, goes with snot on a secret expedition after paying for astrid’s freedom. Awkward O’Conner romance ensues.....oh my god this thing just writes itself......holy shit you could do all three movies if you wanted......emphasis on ‘if’.

I mean I wrote like three parts of a mummy au years ago: 

Part 1 |  Part 2 | Part 3 

[the-heart-alchemist]

Do you read the MHA Manga? Or do you just watch the show? I just started reading after the Overhaul fight and MAN WE’RE IN FOR SOME FUN TIMES AHEAD.

I read the manga and yeah it only gets more exciting.

Recovery (Aka Training together) Sokai Week Day 2

(Day 2)

Sora hissed as he sat up in bed.

Looking down at his arm, the bandages were still secure from his elbow up to his wrist. It had been a solid week since he escaped from Shibuya with Riku, and only four days since he woke up from the ensuing coma he succumb to after him, Riku, Kairi, Donald, and Goofy had fought him off. Fought him off, more like got bored with. he thought dryly as he cradled his still healing arm. When he finally woke up to Kairi sleeping in a chair next to him in Radiant Garden, where he had found out just how serious in injuries were. The cut on his wrist was deep but thankfully hadn’t been infected with anything, he had two broken ribs which were tapped, a concussion that hopefully was gone by now, the tendons in his legs were twisted, there were burns on his back and bruises littering his body, and he had trouble hearing out of his left ear.

And that was just the physical damage, his magic reserved where bone dry and would take at least a month or so until they were replenished. The abilities that he learned where still there thankfully, unlike after his failed Mark of Mastery exam, but due to his physical limitations he couldn’t use them or maintain proper training. His stamina also took a major hit, his days in and out of consciousness had left him weak, he felt like a Shadow could take him out again.

It was one thing when he had been depowered before, the mark of mastery was a trap that no one saw coming, and from what he understood his year long slumber was so he would remember all his friends again. But this time…..it felt different, it wasn’t something beyond his control this time. Shaking those thoughts aside, Sora lifted his legs over the side of the bed, he tried putting his weight forward but his ribs spiked with pain. “Angh!” he grunted out covering his ribs with his good arm. He heard a muffled sound out his ear, but he paid it no mind and focused on nursing his ribs.

He wished a high powered Curaga would take care of these injuries but apparently all that did was alleviate his pain for a while. Arieth told him that his injuries would take time to heal, that magic can only do so much. The spikey haired brunette let out a tired sigh, he was improving but it was terribly slow going. A muffled voice made his head snap over to the door to his temporary room, in the doorway stood Kairi looking at him with concern, “Are you ok?” she asked, her voice less muffled now that Sora was aware of her.

He looked down at his feet, he wasn’t ok, he was far from ok. “I’m…” he pursed his lips together, unable to find the right words. Kairi didn’t need to hear them, she carried herself over to his bed and sat herself down beside him carefully, her hand reached out to his and interlocked their fingers together. The action instantly calming Sora’s frustration, “I’m sorry if I woke you up.” he apologized, daring to look over at her.

Yet Kairi smiled at him, she smiled in a way that made Sora’s chest ache in the best way, “Don’t be sorry…..and you didn’t wake me up. I couldn’t sleep.” she explained, her other hand reaching over and clasping her other hand over the one she held.

Sora took notice of her apparel, she was still wearing her evening clothes, a pair of grey sweatpants and a violet tee shirt. It was…..odd seeing her in something so casual, so normal. “I got used to getting up early. When Donald, Goofy and I were looking for you, I would wake up as soon as I can, rag them out of bed too, and get searching…..but all we ended up doing was-“

“That wasn’t your fault.” Sora interrupted calmly, “We’ve all just been…..pawns in a game. We didn’t realize it.” he said sagely, surprising the redhead with his somber tone. Sora had always been a constant ball of positive energy, the biggest optimist she’s ever known……but after Shibuya, or whatever the world’s name that Riku had told her, that bright ball had lessened it’s glow.

Her smile faltered from his empty voice, her hand left his hand reached up to the side of his face, gently turning his face to her’s. A year ago she wouldn’t be so bold as to even think of doing such a gesture, back then it might have been a little too intimate for two friends…..but that was then. That was before she realized the stakes, before she had offered to share a paopu fruit with him and seal their destinies together forever, before the Keyblade war. Before they all lost him……before she lost her Sora for six months.

Her eyes stared into his, he glanced over at her hand and his lip curved downward before reaching his wounded arm up to touch her’s but only making it halfway before the pain made him hiss out and drop it. The act made her heart clench, Sora was the strongest person she had ever met, perhaps not in the literal sense but he always seemed so……powerful to her. He was the deciding factor in the Keybalde War, if not for him then they would have lost a dozen times over. It was a fact, something that the others seemed to share.

Even when he came back, battered and beaten he fought alongside her like the wounds where nothing. But now he seemed so…..frail.

And he didn’t like it, she could see that.

“You’ll be ok Sora.” she assured, his eyes snapping back into her’s. She smiled as she recalled hearing from Merlin about his progress during her training, even after being sapped of his powers he came back stronger than ever. “It might take a while but…..I have no doubt that you’ll be back to your old self before you know it.” she guaranteed.

Sora briefly smiled, moved by how she believed in him…..but it quickly faltered, “Kairi….I can’t even hold my Keyblade right now.” he said, looking down at his bandaged arm. He hadn’t healed enough to regain his full range of motion for it, and even then he could barely hold a half glass of water without straining. “I know you believe in me…….and that means so much to me.” he enforced. “But…..I’m useless….”

Kairi looked at Sora in utter disbelief. Him? Useless!?!?!

“You are not useless.” she stated firmly, “Sora look at everything you’ve done! You’ve saved the worlds how many times? You beat every single Organization member almost by yourself, we won because of you-“

“And everyone died……including you.” he interrupted harshly, his look of anger retreated back and was immediately replaced with regret, “I-I’m sorry I didn’t-“

Kairi shook her head slowly, “No….Sora it’s ok….” she said softly, the fearful look in Sora’s eyes making it click for her. Sora had suffered physically from their battle from the Master of Masters, but not once had any of them considered what the mental toll on him had been from the Keyblade war. He saw each and every one of them die right in front of him, even though she herself hadn’t faded during the Demon Wave, Sora watched her be struck down right before his eyes…..and wasn’t able to do anything.

Her hands reached for his, “Sora…..do you want to go for a walk?” she asked.

The teen looked down at his legs, he wasn’t crippled by any means but he only started taking steps on his own two days ago. And he couldn’t go very fast, or very far. “I…..I don’t want to slow you down.” he answered bashfully.

Kairi smiled at him, “I don’t care…..I just want to spend some time with you.” she replied truthfully. Her smile only broadened when she saw the way his face turned red, she was forward about her feelings now, after spending so long dancing around them with him and nearly losing him? She refused to skirt around her feelings for him.

“I….um….might need….help…getting up.” he embarrassingly admitted. Kairi stood from the bed and walked in front of him, with a powerful pull he didn’t expect from her he was on his feet with no trouble. “Oh….ok.”

She smirked up at him, “Swinging a Keyblade around is good for the arms.” she explained, holding her arm out and flexing it proudly, Sora could make out a defined shape in her skin. Taking his hand in her’s, she let Sora take the lead and set their pace. One foot in front of the other, their speed was admittedly a snail’s pace through the house of the Restoration Committee, by the time they made it out the front door, Sora’s legs were aching. Kairi could tell as much from how his hand was squeezing her’s, “Here’s a nice spot.” she offered, gesturing to the bench right outside the house.

Reluctantly, Sora sat down in a huff. Kairi took her seat next to him as Sora looked down at his feet in disappointment. “I’m sorry.” he apologized. “I’m just….” he was about to say useless again but remembering Kairi’s reaction from earlier, he stopped himself.

She shook her head, “Sora, it’s ok to be frustrated.” she assured, the brunette looking at her with surprise as she looked down at her own hand. “When you disappeared…..I blamed everyone….I blamed Riku for letting you go after me, but that didn’t last long. He missed you just as much as I did…..and I can never stay mad at him.” she added with a smirk. “I blamed King Micky for the same reason, I…..I still blame Yen Sid for not telling you more about the Power of Waking. And…..other things.” she said bitterly, surprising Sora. “But out of everyone…..I blamed myself the most….I thought that if I had been better, if I had been stronger, then you never would have been put in that position in the first place.” she explained.

The logic was sound to her at first, if she hadn’t been captured she wouldn’t have been killed, she wouldn’t have been killed, Sora would still be there……except for one simple fact. “But I realized….it didn’t matter, if it wasn’t me that fell then it would have been someone else…..and I know you would have gone to save them as much as you would me.” she said knowingly. She glanced over at Sora, the teen had a look of guilt over his face, “That’s not a bad thing!” she quickly added, “That’s one of the best things about you Sora, you care for everyone.”

The island boy smiled at her praise, “I mean yeah, they’re all my friends…..but your……your special Kairi.” he admitted unashamed.

Kairi felt her face warm up, “My point is…I was in a bad mindset for a while…..but the way I got out of it was just…..taking a small step forward each day.” she said, her hand gesturing to him. “You couldn’t get out of bed five days ago, today you made it all the way through the house out here!” she said enthusiastically. Her hand rested on his knee, “It’s going to take some time…..but you’ll be ok Sora….I know it.”

Her faith in him was unwavering, and Sora honestly didn’t think he deserved it but she still gave it too him. One step forward….he could do that. “Kairi…..thank you.” he said gratefully, the redhead beaming back at him as she scooted herself closer to his side, her head gently laid down on his shoulder as not to hurt him. “I…..I missed you…..so much….”

“I missed you too.” she replied dreamily, shutting her eyes and listening to his breathing soothingly. Looking down at her resting form, Sora’s throat dried at how beautiful she looked. There was a long time that he wouldn’t use that word to describe her, not that he thought she wasn’t pretty before but now he could think it without being embarrassed. Lifting his bandaged arm, he wrapped it around her hack, making her eyes open as he embraced her with his one arm. Looking over she smiled softly at him, her face leaned in close to his, her soft lips pressing against his wounded cheek.

Pulling away she nearly laughed when she slowly saw Sora’s face turn crimson, One step at a time. Physically, Mentally, and…..romantically.

I fully believe that Pyrrha Nikos, champion of Haven tournament, the invincible girl, and all around badass......couldn’t dance until Ren taught her and everyone else on their team to.

I raise you that the only dancing Pyrrha was able to do was ballroom dancing like the waltz and stuff like that because of her celebrity status. 

Anything else beyond that and she is as stiff as a board.
