MCS ARC III - THE SECOND D. ANOMALY.

"I believe in Wayne's innocence. He didn't ask to be put through the things he had to face. So what if his karmic standing is super negative? He can help us! And we need to help him." "You are understood by me, my fellow outcast."

THE LORD's conquest of THE ORDER continues to grow, with his new goal now finding a way to summon an entity known as THE HOST in order to complete his conquest. While hope feels bleak for those fighting against THE LORD's fearsome army and power, a light appears at the end of the tunnel .... in the form of a second D. Anomaly: WAYNE HYLICS. However, is he truly the one who can stop Starscream? Besides his laxed and aloof appearance, Wayne possesses a rather concerning negative karmic standing representing a dark history, and perhaps such isolation from other heavenly bodies may only increase Starscream's interest in Wayne himself.

I'm very much a platonic paopu enthusiast but for the sake of this singular post let's interpret it as romantic bc I just realized the only time Sora ever initiates is with the cave drawing when he's alone and doesn't have to say anything out loud. very arospec of him

The Ariel / Riku Parallel and the future of Sora and Riku

This is a parallel I see covered a lot of the time but when it's mentioned the comparison usually involves Naminé in place of Ursula.

The parallel typically follows:

Ariel is Riku. They both wanted to see the outside world.

Sora is Prince Eric.

Naminé is/was Ursula (Vanessa).

Naminé (Ursula) used witch like powers to place Sora (Eric) in a trance and blind him from his true light/the one, Riku (Ariel).

It's a direct parallel that needs little analysis or explanation.

I have also seen fellow Sorikus touch on this parallel with the Final World tunnel scene where Sora notices that the Light is Riku much like Eric notices "the one" who sang to him and saved him in the storm is Ariel.

My theory is that this parallel goes beyond just the tunnel scene. In fact, I believe that Nomura is following the KH2 Atlantica storyline for Sora and Riku's eventual romance later in the games. Walk with me here.

-

The KH2 Atlantica story begins with Ariel saving Eric after a storm. She immediately falls in love, and sings to him. He wakes up just enough to hear her singing, she goes back to Atlantica and her father breaks her statue of him, her heart breaks and Ursula makes her contract with her...you know the tale.

In the KH2 version of this tale however, Ariel falls into a deep depression because she knows she can't be with a human up on land as a mermaid. Not to mention her father's hatred of humans casted fear and doubt into her. When Ariel and Eric defeat Ursula, Ariel reveals to Eric that she is actually a mermaid. However in this scene, Ariel hangs her head in shame and tells him "goodbye" anticipating that he would not accept her as she was. To her surprise, he does accept her.

This scene always struck me because at no point in the original film is Ariel ever ashamed of being a mermaid, she simply knew as a mermaid she couldn't live on land with the one she loved. Why would shame and fear of not being accepted for who you are be added to this tale?

And it doesn't stop there. All throughout the Atlantica storyline, we're told that Ariel and Eric's love is a "forbidden love". A love that shouldn't happen between mermaid and human, sea and land. We're told how a "love struck" mermaid in the sea felt she could only love her human soulmate from afar, that they could never be together despite her wanting them to be.

Who, in the entire Kingdom Hearts cast, does this sound like? Who else, if confirmed that he truly is in love with Sora, would have a forbidden love?

There is no one else other than Riku. Kai*ri, as a cishet female, would not have a forbidden love with Sora. Riku, as a demi/gay male, would have the forbidden love.

Riku has spent a good portion of this series loving and protecting Sora from afar, most often than not, without Sora even being aware.

Who would be more likely to be "ashamed" for loving Sora, and fearful of rejection? Kai*ri, or Riku? In fact, just as Ariel was ashamed that she was originally a mermaid and had to transform into a human, Riku was ashamed that he had to borrow the powers of Ansem and transformed into Ansem.

--

Now why do I say this parallel is going to dictate the future of Sora and Riku's relationship? Because KH3 pretty much follows half of this parallel already.

We already know that Sora discovered that Riku was his true light in the tunnel. He then forgets all of this ever happened and forgets that he ever saved Riku.

And not only that, but Riku's light is blocked out and Sora ends up thinking that the light belongs to another character.

That's right. Sora (Prince Eric) has yet another haze over his eyes. And instead of Naminé, this time Kairi is Ursula.

This is an exact parallel of not only Atlantica, but of what happened in Chain of Memories with Naminé.

Naminé describes herself as a witch who controls the memories of Sora and everyone surrounding him.

Naminé is Ka*iri's Nobody, also described as her "alter ego". Vanessa is in a way Ursula's human alter ego, they're one in the same.

Ka*iri, most likely, has a similar power. She may not use it consciously, but whenever Sora turns his focus on Ka*iri, he forgets all about Riku. This has happened since KH1.

Ursula used her power to make Eric forget about Ariel, the girl who saved him and sang to him. Let's also not forget that Ursula made an appearance in Dream Drop Distance when Sora and Riku were building their dream raft.

We're following the Ariel parallel, just a bit out of order. We're past the point of Ariel's (Riku's) depression. We're past the point of Ariel makes a contract with Ursula to transform into a human / Riku making a contract with Ansem to transform into Ansem. We're at the point where Prince Eric is tricked by Ursula / Sora realized who his light is but forgot and is currently under the false impression that Kai*ri is his true light.

Memory of Melody aside, KH3 is the most recent major title in the series. KH2 happened way back in 2005 and Nomura is STILL referencing it. This tells me this parallel is not concluded nor going away, rather, it's building up. Which means, we will eventually reach the conclusion of this parallel.

Prince Eric finding the one. Sora finding his light.

Every Disney parallel thus far has either reached a conclusion, or is still ongoing (such as the Riku / Hercules and self sacrifice for love). I highly doubt this parallel will be dropped before its conclusion, unless Disney or some Square execs drop the hammer on it and either force Prince Sora to be with Kai*ri instead of Riku or force Sora into some "power of friendship" spiel. Or if Nomura's hands get sweaty and he remembers the pressures of homophobia in society and ends up fearing the anger of the fanbase for pushing an LGBTQ romance. So although I genuinely believe it's Nomura's intention to pair Sora and Riku given the buildup of their relationship over the longevity of this series, and the Disney couple parallels between the two, he may end up cracking and decide against pursuing it.

Given that Riku in the Novels all but confirmed Sora is his light and love and Nomura approved it, I'm hoping that he has the confidence in his tale to propel this love into the mainline titles. Nomura DID say that the series has taken a directional shift, this may be the shift he's referring to all along.

----

So what would a Soriku love look like in future titles? Well let's look at the portion of the Atlantica parallel not explored yet.

Ariel returned Prince Eric's pendant. The Crown Necklace theory and Shooting Star Memory has yet to be addressed. Perhaps at some point in Quadratum Sora loses his crown necklace, Riku finds it and returns it to him triggering the both of them to finally address the Crown Necklace with Sora remembering that Riku is the one who gave it to him in the first place. Sora remembering that Riku was the light in the darkness and not Kai*ri is now a new plot point needing to be addressed. Just as Eric realized Ariel was the one he was looking for all along, he declared his love for her. Sora will eventually realize Riku was the one he's been searching for all his life and will probably apologize for not realizing it sooner.

Not to mention the Hercules parallel of self sacrifice for true love has also yet to be addressed on Sora's end. He's still figuring out what love is and what love means. Both the Ariel-Eric and Hercules-Meg parallels end with a confession of love. That confession may just be how Kingdom Hearts ends.

Additional Note: Do I think there will be a Soriku kiss? Maybe, but it most likely won't happen in-game.

I instead believe that Soriku will be confirmed with a koibito tsunagi - an interlocking hand hold that roughly translates to "lover's connection". Nomura and other Square Enix devs have used this before, especially in FF7 Remake when Aerith takes Cloud's hand and interlocks his fingers with hers (on their date towards the end of the game), further confirming her feelings for him. It's a subtle way of showing a character's affection and I think it will be fitting for both Sora and Riku.

dragons rising spoilers

Sora: "How did you just never mention you're the grandson of the guy who created Ninjago?"

Lloyd: "Eh, it never came up."

I AM SO GLAD THAT LLOYD'S KIND OF DEMI-GOD STATUS IS BEING BROUGHT UP. Sometimes I have to remind myself that Lloyd is literally related god himself, because the show never brings it up. I'm kinda glad it doesn't get talked about a lot though because for Lloyd, it's just another day in Ninjago. Anyway. 10/10 moment. I nose laughed which was painful and that doesn't happen often.

He is Rowena’s younger half-brother, Gabriela’s and Shino’s only son, Natalia’s grandson, and Noelia’s nephew.

He’s a close friend to the scraps and a mom-friend who cherishes his own group dearly. He is also Stone’s childhood best friend/sweetheart.

He and his puppy (Kip) lived happily (???) in their mansion, until they wake up one night inside a big bag that was left on the streets of ramshackle.

Edit: ABOUT DAMN TIME I DID THIS SHIT!!!!!!!

Update 2: Sora’s now half Mexican!

Why? Cuz am Mexican.

Update 3: references and other ocs from “small world” au!

More facts below!!!!

[sorikufeels]

hi i made some soriku pride icons based on the headcanons i have for them! i also have alternate versions that i’ll post separately where i adjusted the colors of the characters themselves to reflect the colors the flags!! i had a lot of fun with these so if anyone wants them with a different flag id probably be down to make that!

please like/reblog if you use! :)

edit: alternative versions here!!

i’m gonna ramble a bit about my headcanons below the cut lol

for sora:

i see sora as pansexual and arospec!!

as an arospec person myself i relate a lot to what sora says in the character files about not really getting love so i hold him being arospec very near and dear to my heart!! i think differentiating different kinds of love is confusing for him and i don’t know where he falls on the spectrum (and i don’t think he does either!!) but he’s somewhere along there so that is why i used the arospec flag!!

that being said, i do think he experiences attraction to some degree and i don’t really see gender influencing his attraction at all so i hc him as pan. bi could also work but i personally identify more with pan and love to project lmao

for riku:

i see riku as gay, demisexual, and trans!!

riku has only really shown real interest in sora throughout the whole series (since him being like “i’ll share the paopu fruit with kairi” was a way to get under sora’s skin) so we’ve only seen him as attracted to a guy so that’s why i see him as gay! also his whole interaction with shiki in dream drop just fucking screamed that he’s gay and please get this girl away from him oh god

i don’t have a reason for hc’ing riku as demi i just feel like the vibes fit lol

i am a riku is a trans man truther!!!! i don’t really have a canon supported reason for this either i just love the headcanon that he’s trans. you know for a fact he wears his binder way too long bro someone tell him it’s bad for him please

also i have the trans flag for both of them above, but im really only hard set on riku being trans. however, t4t soriku is very sweet and i love it so much 🥺

anyway rambling over, thank you for reading lol

[aretheyqueer]

Is she asexual?

disclaimer: this is a hc, not speculating on what the writers intentions were.

reason: Idk why tbh, to me, she gives off Ace vibes.

[mihai-florescu]

Mihai do you think there's any enstars characters that are totally aro/ace to you? Or at least on the spectrum. Like himeru is totally aroace to me and shu is at least asexual or just incredibly sex repulsed. Idk I wanna hear your thoughts I like conversing with my friends :)

Hmm a few years ago i wouldve said shu too based on the sex repulsion but his arc has been discovering and embracing his desires. Oremeru tho yeah im team aroace too, theres something appealing to me about a character known in universe for his sex appeal being ace. But i can also see him as repressing his own desires to become the embodiment of a perfect idol. I dont think he really knows what his own orientation actually is underneath all the masks he put on. Hmm im not sure about anyone else? I can see souma being demi? Aspec adonis? Then i know i joke about eichi being like if a very jealous monogamous person wishes he was poly, but if im being serious, i see him as aspec too, only interested sexually in wataru. I just remembered youre a minor, im gonna end this train of thought here. Im not sure if i view many characters as fully aroace, more on the spectrum... oh kohaku actually, i see him as aroace, leaning between sex and romance neutral to repulsed. Oh sora is aroace sex and romance neutral to me too

Aro/ace hcs used to be something i was comfier with proudly talking abt years ago, but now i realise... well, im aspec myself, it's all *i* know, but im trying not to let that cloud my judgement. But i think a lot of characters end up being aspec too in my head just because thats the only experience i personally have and can project. But i dont want my understanding of characters to be just based on my own projection, yknow? I think the tldr is im uncertain about everything, about my own stupid baka life being in the way of me becoming the perfect spectator (that's a goal i strive to achieve as a story lover and find myself straying further and further from, frustratingly).

[heartstringsbloom]

Different characters from MLP, Cars, EAH, and KH and the song each of them would perform at a singing audition or show (loosely inspired by The Voice)

My Little Pony: FIM

Twilight: Sky Full of Stars by Coldplay (makes it a lovely little ballad. prob plays piano while performing)

Rainbow Dash: Don’t Stop Me Now by Queen (just very her in terms of energy)

Pinkie Pie: Call Me Maybe by Carly Rae Jepson (girly-pop queen)

Rarity: Young and Beautiful by Lana Del Ray (her voice actually brings some tears out of listeners. It’s magical)

Applejack: Something in The Water by Carrie Underwood (puts her heart into this one. She’s misty-eyed by the end)

Fluttershy: Plant Life by Owl City (starts out timid but gets lost in the song by the end. Her sweetness really shines here, and reflects how she grows braver and more ready to step out into the world)

Celestia: Someone Like You by Adele (I Think Celestia would sound beautiful in this)

Luna: Landslide by Stevie Nicks (Luna shows her vulnerable side in this. It’s quite lovely)

Cadence: So Close by Jon McLaughlin (absolutely pours her heart into the song. I think Cadence would sing this beautifully)

Pixar’s Cars

Lightning McQueen: Confident by Demi Lovato (his is the kind of voice that walks the line between rock and pop. Throws in the occasional growl that even he didn’t know he had)

Sally Carrera: A Thousand Years by Christina Perri (the kind of voice you could listen to forever. It’s very warm and soothing. Her voice has an almost jazzy quality)

Cruz Ramirez: Girl on Fire by Alicia Keys (Cruz is an absolute powerhouse of a singer. Like McQueen she has this rockstar growl that just bleeds into her singing, paired with her lovely rasp)

Mater: Hey There Delilah by Plain White T’s (dedicates this to Holley despite not having been in contact for a while now. She sees the performance on tv one day after a long mission, and feels a strange twinge in her heart)

Bobby Swift: Uptown Funk by Mark Ronson ft. Bruno Mars (Bobby can put on a show. the whole crowd gets into it. He def gets a 4-chair turn)

Cal Weathers: Take on Me by A-ha (he’s just smiling the whole time, infecting the crowd with his joy)

Ramone: Livin on a Prayer by Bon Jovi (he and Flo have been at each other’s side through thick and thin. Prayer and love filled their days and nights, and they’ll always hold onto that)

Flo: Lovesong by Adele (dedicates this to Ramone. Again, they’ve had each other’s back for years now. No matter where they go or how far, that stands strong)

Ever After High

Raven Queen: I Will Survive by Gloria Gaynor (with her guitar it becomes a rock ballad. She gets a standing ovation)

Apple White: King by Lauren Aquilina (a self-reflective song. Her voice is, of course, perfect—but her composure does slip towards the end)

Madeline Hatter: Insane Sometimes by Grace VanderWaal (she’s just having the time of her life, as always)

Briar Beauty: Wake Me Up by Avicii (there’s a line about wishing they weren’t scared to close their eyes. This really resonates with Briar and is a song that is both personal and a little more energetic)

Cerise Hood: Roar by Katy Perry (it took some convincing to get her on stage, but this is the song that she really lets go in. No one knew Cerise had such a voice. In a perfect world, that hood falls off as she’s belting out the chorus)

Cedar Wood: Who Says by Selena Gomez (she just wants to spread a beautiful truth)

C.A. Cupid: Everybody by Ingrid Michaelson (she turns this into a slightly jazzy, slower piece that lets her voice and heart shine through)

Blondie Lockes: Walking on Sunshine by Katrina And The Waves (just a happy-go-lucky song for a happy-go-lucky girl. It does match her personality and hair)

Kingdom Hearts (light spoilers!)

Sora: Count on Me by Bruno Mars (he has the sweetest smile the whole time singing. This one goes out to all of his friends)

Riku: Darkness Keeps Chasing Me by Grace VanderWaal (Riku isn’t the performing type, but this song resonates with him deeply. I could see him doing an acoustic guitar while singing this)

Kairi: Paradise by Coldplay (I remember watching a kh fmv with this song years ago, and ever since I’ve associated it with Kairi. She sings this for herself, but with Naminé in mind)

Roxas: Could Have Been Me by The Struts (a song that articulates his desire to truly live, no strings attached. That’s why he kept fighting for his humanity)

Axel: Secrets by OneRepublic (“just don’t let me disappear/imma tell you everything.” Axel, despite having no heart, almost always wears it on his sleeve. He isn’t afraid to let it show)

Xion: House of Memories by Panic! At The Disco (this style of song isn’t really Xion’s flow, but I think she would make it her own. She would turn it into something sweeter, like a lullaby. A gentle plea to stay in your heart and mind)

Aqua: Feel The Light by Jennifer Lopez (she sings this so genuinely and from the heart. Not only as a reminder to herself that the light will always shine through, but as a reminder to her friends of second chances. Of the second chance they were all given)

Terra: One Call Away by Charlie Puth (a part of him still wishes he had been stronger for his friends, his family. But Terra knows going forward that he will always be there for them to lean on)

Ven: Beautiful Thing by Grace VanderWaal (he sings this for Aqua and Terra. He’s just so full of love and light)

Might do a part 2 at some point with additional characters and alternative songs!

[embraceyourdestiny]

i just found a soriku greek (hercules) demi god au and i had to share it with yall

"soriku hercules au where sora is a child of zeus and hes just looking for his place he belongs in the world. a prophecy was foretold to zeus the king of gods that one day a child of a god would defeat his brother hades. sora is a son of zeus and just when he is born hades sends to have him kidnapped and killed, assuming he would be his unmaking. sora survived and fell to earth, living with humans in safety as an obvious outsider and feeling alone and like he doesnt belong. he leaves his town to find where he does belongs and comes to find out zeus the king of gods is his father and he is tasked to train to be a hero by him.

unbeknownst to them all, hades himself also had a child, riku, who he trained to be his spy and executioner. he was tasked with killing any and all children of gods to keep his father's prophecy from coming true, and one day he stumbles upon a silly boy asking for directions to the nearest temple. riku then learns sora is in fact a child of zeus but thinks hes too scrawny to be a threat (and maybe feels more for him) and they go to find the trainer of heroes together, sora to complete his goal and riku to 'finish his mission', becoming close friends and throwing riku's sense of identity into turmoil. is hes his father's son, the hero slayer, or is he simply riku, sora's friend, a possible hero? is it only impossible in this world to be both?"

also they meet kairi because shes a water nymph living on phils land and raised by him and she kicks ass.
