The Future Doesn't Scare Me At All

Fandom: Kingdom Hearts Ship: Kairi/Riku/Sora For @polyshipweek 2024 Day 7: Free Day Word count: 300 Warnings: N/A AO3

The sun is warm on Kairi's skin. Idly, she pushes one leg back and forth, digging a faint groove in the sand.

The ocean laps at Riku and Sora's waists. Sora dips one arm beneath the water and splashes Riku, who sputters and tackles him. They both fall under the surface, and for a second the water is tranquil.

Kairi holds her breath.

Both boys emerge, wet and grinning. Riku's hair is in his face, and Sora is hanging off his shoulder.

Their laughter floats over the water to Kairi. The tension in her heart fades. She lets herself breathe.

The sun sets, and Riku and Sora come ashore. Their feet leave shallow prints in the sand.

Sora flops next to Kairi on the beach, a smile on his lips. He spreads his arms out, wide and open, and kicks out his feet.

Riku lays at her other side. The light turns his hair more orange than silver, and Kairi reaches out, tucking a few strands behind his ear. He leans into her touch.

An arm wraps around Kairi's shoulders. Sora's head follows it, his hair brushing her skin. Kairi turns to him, and he presses his lips to hers.

The stars flicker in the sky as the three of them rise. Sand sticks to Kairi's skin where they touched.

The sea laps at the beach. Its water stretches out in front of them, dark blue to inky black. Even now, sometimes Kairi thinks it might be the only thing out there.

Sora takes her hand first. He grins at her as easily as he always has.

Riku takes her other hand, pressing their palms together. When Kairi looks at him, his eyes are soft.

It is quiet, except for the waves and the steps they take on the sand.

The punchline was originally just gonna be the last panel, but I thought it'd be funnier if he didn't even realize it for a long time lolol

It's done! Everyone's having a good time playing games and nothing will ever be wrong :D

For anyone wondering where the Disney dudes are, Mickey and Donald are on a double date with Minnie and Daisy at Scrooge's bistro, while Goofy is catching a movie.

Kingdom Hearts Re:Chain of Memories - Halloween Town Sora & Riku

#kingdom hearts re:chain of memories #khrecom #sora #riku #halloween town #my gif #using a new program to make gifs. it'll take me a bit to do things more efficiently #character focused gifs would always turn out so crunchy in my old program so maybe i'll update some posts. maybe #anyways don't come after riku for not wearing a costume it's not his fault #collecting footage for these made me realize that mickey is also slightly retextured to fit into this world #which was probably obvious but i never really paid attention

#rewatched enchanted and realized what this reminds me of #kingdom hearts #enchanted #the stereotypical fairytale expectation that is set up to be subverted #as the characters grow beyond classic disney tropes #these characters are Not on the same page anymore. if they ever really were #this scene also starts with an emphasis on robert and giselle’s connection #much like in kh the scene starts with an emphasis on riku and sora’s connection #relationships that have seen significant development #in contrast to those that are pretty static and rely heavily on trope expectations

give me something pretty to wear beneath my bloodstained clothes

darling, the devil knows my name 🥀🗝️🦩🗡️💃

#one piece #princess viola #violet one piece #dressrosa #riku viola #when I tell yall dressrosa is my favorite arc and it’s because viola is my second favorite op character #I’m being so fr #also complete honesty I painted this for my own fic #which is The Empty Seat on ao3 #because I’ve been obsessed with her for 8 years and I finally let it out lol #I hate fanon viola sm. let her be the messy and flawed character she is #stop erasing the drama #she is a gothic heroine to me #my femme fatale attic wife my beloved queen #there’s so much hidden in this that you won’t catch unless you have my brain disease but feel free to play I spy

If Riku's canonically a Dream Eater, then it stands to reason he'd look like one in Monstropolis yeah?? (monster-Sora already looks like a Chirithy, notice)

Anyways some design notes

He's the same (or adjacent) species as Dean Hardscrabble from Monsters University-- though not a centipede taur for Reasons

(SquareEnix probably prefers consistent proportions across world specific models to make rigging easier, and therefore would not design him Like That)

His wings and elytra are at his waist since from my observation, they like to put things at waist length in Riku's designs. When folded flat against the thigh it looks like pockets.

He would use the lower wings mainly for gliding, to generate extra lift (given the length of his tail)

I'm debating moving the position of the Spirit sigil to his back, between his wings-- 1) that is consistent with its placement in DDD, plus 2) his wings would also contextualize it like a Nightmare

#fridgefanatic #fridge's art #kingdom hearts #kh riku #kh fanart #monstropolis #monsters inc #character design #fan character #i think? this kinda counts as a fan character if it's not a canon design

I FUCKING LOVE MISERABLE JERKASS MALE CHARACTERS WHO TURN THEIR LIVES AND SITUATIONS AROUND AND BECOME MORE THAN WHAT THEY EVER THOUGHT THEY COULD BE AND WHAT SOCIETY MADE THEM INTO THROUGH THE SOFTENING OF THEIR TOXIC MASCULINITY AND EMBRACING THE SUPPORT OF THEIR FRIENDS AND FAMILY AS A STRENGTH RATHER THAN A WEAKNESS
