Could I request Vanitas with a reader who gives him a whole speech about how much they love him?

"No! No! No! Don't say that!" Vanitas wanted to cover his ears. Rip them off even.

He knows that they would never lie to him. Even their tone was sincere, but he just couldn’t believe them. Who would love a broken thing like him? A neglected, worthless, cast aside thing. Their relationship was fine to fill the void, an amusement really, but Vanitas never believed it was real. Never thought they would love him. Never dreamed of saddling someone so perfect and kind with a misshapen thing like him. An anchor to their rise. He had to get out of this.

“I…don’t know what to say…” Which was true. “I…can’t say that I feel the same.” Which was also true. Vanitas didn’t know what he was feeling right now. “I like being with you but I…don’t think it’s as earnest as that. I appreciate your affection,” (He can’t even say the word ‘love’. What was wrong with him) “but this isn’t what I’m looking for.”

Amusement. A distraction. A protective pawn. But not love. Never love. Never, never, never love.

ROUND ONE: POLL #14

ROUND 1 ALL POLLS [HERE]

PROPAGANDA BELOW

Noe Archiviste/Vanitas:

light spoilers for the main plot + the quotes are pretty meaningful so they count as spoilers too ig

they were made for each other, literally. When they first met, the first thing they did was fighting. hell, noe even said he didn't like vanitas as a person. they're a human and a vampire. they're almost always together, and their relationship grows gradually and in a very beautiful way, at least to me.

vanitas, who despises himself to the point of pushing away everybody, starts letting himself go with noe, who believes in him, and quite literally said he'll never leave him alone (as vanitas' concept of freedom is being alone). ah also they're doomed. since the first ever chapter, noe says that he will kill vanitas with his own hands, and the whole series is narrated by (future) noe's pov. in fact all the chapters are called "mémoire" and each have a title. 

idk if it counts, but i'll leave here some quotes from both of them.

vanitas:

“I have absolutely no interest in the sort of person who would fall for me.” + "It’s revolting! The thought of someone falling for a person like me…” 

“…Why… can’t I… kill… Why!? Wh… why…?” [referred to noe]

“If I— …get to choose how I die… If I can… wish, then… If I’m going to be killed I want Noé to do it.”

noe:

“That… was the beginning. This is… the tale of how I met Vanitas… and how we walked together… Of all we gained… and lost… And of how… at the end of that journey… I would kill him with my own two hands.”

“He’s bad-tempered. He always does whatever he wants, arbitrarily. He doesn’t care whether he gets hurt but he can’t abide others getting hurt for his sake. He tries to isolate himself by pushing everyone away. —I see. When he says ‘free’… does he mean ‘alone’?”

“My name is Noé!!! I am not ‘that Vampire’!!!! Listen to me, Vanitas. I refuse to be what you want me to be. I will never set you ‘free’!!!”

Elim Garak/Julian Bashir:

The actors both consider the ship to be canon and have actually preformed fanfiction with the characters as a couple before. It called "Little Achievements" and it's posted on Sid City's YouTube page.

Andrew Robinson (who played Garak) has straight up said that multiple of his lines were delivered with romantic intent.

Guys but what if Vanitas and Noé did meet when they were kids? People have brought up the possibility that Noe’s kidnappers were part of the travelling circus Vanitas grew up in. I know it’s said Noé was taken to the vampire world. But to be fair, Louis makes that assumption and Noé kinda just nods ahead. So I’m taking that with a grain of salt and narrator Noé ain’t telling or confirming shit.

But you know why I’m starting to believe this?

Remember how Vanitas acted towards Noé in chapter/episode 1. We know Noé is the one who insisted on staying with Vanitas till the end. But we need to remember Vanitas asked Noé to join him first. Why would Vanitas ask him that???

Vanitas the lone wolf, Vanitas “I hate everyone equally”, Vanitas “it’s my way or the highway”?? He hired Dante and while I think their relationship is more complicated. In Gevaudan he was fully ready to cut him off until Johann went sicko mode. It’s not that Vanitas is recruiting vampires for his cause. We never see him ask any other vampire to join him.

And Vanitas, while it’s hard to tell how much was façade, he was getting all close and sort of flirtatious with Noé. Until he found out he’s an Archiviste and was forced to keep some distance. The “are you interested in kisses” line was right after they fought Jeanne. I don’t think he knew yet. And there’s little moments where he is genuinely glad of Noe’s company. It’s starts to be contradictory when he starts refusing Noe’s help bc he wants to protect him.

But he wanted to be around Noé.

And when the Archiviste thing is revealed, obviously we know from his promise and self-hypnosis pact we can’t have Noé sucking his blood. But his reaction to this news felt less like fear and more so disappointment. As if this revelation ruined something. So I’m starting to think Noé doesn’t remember Vanitas at all. But Vanitas remembers meeting a face like Noé, let’s assume 10 years ago. He didn’t know his name or that he’s an Archiviste. Maybe they had a heart to heart moment, before they could exchange names Noe disappeared. And maybe that was the same night his father was killed. Even for Vanitas standards, him asking Noé to lend his strength from day 1 makes no sense otherwise. There’s some connection there has to be.

[daylighteclipsed]

Posting my last tag rant because y’all had some great responses to it and I wanna continue this conversation.

Yes! I think it’s safe to say Vanitas has become his own person and has a heart of his own now, maybe. But that initial wanting to rejoin with Ventus is a good example of darkness wanting its light back — and I think this is something the novels touch on, the pain and confusion Vanitas feels when he’s first created/separated from Ventus.

It must be so… strange for the space you once made up in the universe to be filled by someone else. Vanitas can’t return to Ventus. Not only because Vanitas has become his own person but because Sora’s darkness became the new dark half to Ventus’ light half. Vanitas can’t return to his light. At least, not the way he used to. How… distressing. Painful. He has no choice but to develop his own light.

I think you can even compare this to Riku in KH1, his pain and distress at, in his eyes, being replaced by Sora’s new friends and lashing out at Sora when Riku really wants nothing more than to be with Sora again. Riku initially bases his identity heavily on his relationships to Sora and Kairi, and he has to readjust and redefine who he is as things (relationships, roles, people, desires) change.

Yeah, that reminds me of how all the humanoid bodies without hearts — the Nobodies — immediately sought a replacement after their heart was separated from their body. The body needs the heart. It’s incomplete without a heart. It’s the same as light and darkness.

You’re right, I don’t think they ever explain what happens to someone’s light when they become a heartless. I think light and darkness are like energy in that they can’t actually be created or destroyed. If I had to guess… maybe the light goes to the hearts of people the heartless is/was connected to.

Kind of like how when darkness overcomes the world’s light, the light persists in the hearts of children. And also like how Kairi’s heart of light camps out in Sora’s heart when it’s threatened by darkness. And also like how tracing the hearts of the guardians leads Sora to the pieces of Kairi’s heart of light. And also like how Riku’s light, represented by the Keyblade, goes to Sora when darkness is consuming Riku’s heart. Our light lives on in the people who love us.

Sora and Terra are the only examples of heartless getting their lights back, I think, and it seems to be because their lights are hanging out in the hearts of the people who love them. People who miss them as much as their light misses its darkness. So yeah, the light that a heartless once had retreats to the still complete hearts that heartless is connected to. If there are no connections, the light returns to the universe/enters the newest or nearest heart — which is maybe how you explain Ventus’ light connecting with Sora’s newborn heart? Final answer lol.

Sora’s heartless in Coded saying “Hearts to sate my hunger” literally haunts me wtf 😐 fucked up rage form Sora hungering for light, and thus hungering for hearts, because his own light is no longer enough. But the light from these other hearts is always fleeting. He can only hold onto the darkness in every heart he consumes. And losing the light just as soon as he starts to feel it, taste it, only carves a deeper, darker pit inside of him. Makes the hunger worse, the pain that much more unbearable. So he just keeps attacking and consuming, chasing this light he can’t have as his darkness grows stronger 😐

Anti/rage Sora consuming hearts like heartless do, like his own heartless tries to do in Coded, is such a cool concept. But it would wreck Sora. Even if the hearts he consumes are ultimately saved — which in a canon situation, they would absolutely have to be — the second he registers what he’s doing or has done… 😬. The image he has of himself would shatter. It would just go so against who he is expected to be and has tried to be and who he wanted to believe he was.

But it would be really, really cool.

Regressor! Vanitas

(!¡!Pull-up/Diaper/Accident mention!¡!)

He is literally the smallest baby ever, he doesn’t even speak usually. Very rarely he’ll be around three (when they HAVE to be in public but Vanitas can’t make himself stop regressing), but Noé is almost always left with trying to decipher his fussy baby’s whines and crying.

Regresses to make up for his sorry excuse of a childhood but says it’s just to relieve stress. He claims his childhood “doesn’t bother him��� only because he can’t find the right words to properly express this empty hurt inside of him because of it, and he truly believes he can never actually make anyone understand how painful it is for him.

Though he denies it like his life depends on it, and claims it’s a very rare thing, he tends to regress quite often. If not during the day or after they return home, usually during their nightly routine, Vanitas will start to regress.

Noé couldn’t help but notice how quiet his partner had gotten, practically nonverbal the moment they stepped through the door. “Is that a sleepy little prince I spy?” Noé asked with a gentle voice, receiving a small whine in response. “Ohhh, my poor little baby. So tired and stressed from all that big kid work. He deserves a break doesn’t he?” The vampire walks over to the edge of his bed, where Vanitas is now awkwardly playing with his own hands. He kneels down infront of him, and looks up to Vanitas’ eyes. They were glossy and he looked about ready to meltdown. “Oh baby…Baby baby baby…shhhh” he gently whispered to his forehead as he swiftly hoisted him up to his hip. “Let’s go get your kitty little one. Would that help mon ange?” Vanitas hesitated to, and nodded ever so slightly, a shuddering breath heard. “Oh my little Vanitas, Papa’s here.” A very weak sound escaped the smaller male’s lips, one he barely forced out but couldn’t bring himself to choke down. “Papa…”

Without Noé there to guide him while regression, he honestly has no idea what he’s doing. His childhood was completely ripped from him, so he’s unsure of what he’s supposed to be doing for the most part. As long as he can cuddle his Papa though, he doesn’t seem to mind being lost. And Noé almost always has activities set up for him.

The first time he read Vanitas a bedtime story, Vanitas didn’t understand why, but he just started crying and Noé was quick to comfort him. Vanitas wanted to say ‘thank you’ but just couldn’t get it out. Noé understood.

The first time Vanitas regressed at all, neither of them had any idea what was happening, but Noé knew Vanitas needed this. He took him into his arms, not saying a word as he just let Vanitas cry to him as he apologized profusely for trying to kill him.

“No-é! Please! I’m sorry! I’m sorry I’m sorry I’m sorry!” Vanitas wept like he’d never wept before. He was crying for the first time in years into the shoulder of this vampire he’d grown so attached to he couldn’t even bring himself to kill him. He cared so deeply for this man, it was absolutely killing him. Vanitas was not supposed to love, never ever. But… “Please don’t leave Noé! Please! Please please please! I’ll never do it again!” He sobbed, grabbing tightly to the vampire’s sweater, soaking its shoulder. It was already pathetic enough he was showing such strong emotion to him, but he was literally desperate for him to continue to exist around him. He felt so small and comforted in his arms. For once in his life, he wasn’t cold and scared. He had a home to return to, someone to return to for a feeling of safety. “I won’t leave you Vanitas. I forgive you…I’m here.” Noé softly spoke, lips close to the shorter male’s forehead. This went on for hours until Vanitas finally collapsed into Noé’s arms, shivering and exhausted. “I’m here now Vanitas…I’m here…” he tucked a bit of the exhausted Vanitas’ hair behind his ear. Vanitas had hardly said anything, but he didn’t have to. Noé knew…not to the extent Vanitas had experienced but enough. But he didn’t need to understand, feeling there was enough pain in this scared boy to have more than warranted such a meltdown.

Noé once suggested Johann, Dante, and Riche could look over Vanitas if he were to run errands, and he went BALLISTIC at the thought of that ‘old man’ having to babysit him, a grown man. Only Noé can know about this secret, and even then he only knows a fraction of what Vanitas really does/wants to do.

-Sometimes they both regress, because-

If Noé even brings up regression in any conversation ever, Vanitas goes ballistic.

Noé often refers to him as “Mon ange” “Mon bébé” “Mon petit chéri” and “sunshine.” The last usually tends to inexplicably make Vanitas go very quiet, cry, or just become an extra needy baby.

When regressed, he really likes to bother Murr. Murr doesn’t mind being held like a stuffie, or being cried into by a lonely little sunshine.

His favorite pacifier is a yellow one with little suns on it.

His favorite stuffie is a Siamese cat beanie baby named Snip.

He really likes sleeper onsies, as they cover his super scarred body.

Absolutely hates talking when regressed, especially about ‘big boy topics’ like his past, his relationship with Jeanne (not a romantic one, but the fact she’s bitten him before), and especially Mikhail. However, since he tends to regress because of stress instead of using it to ease/prevent stress, he tends to find himself panicking to a stuffed animal at the thought of just existing the way he has been.

Embarrassing as it is, he really likes things intended for the littlest of babies, wanting to experience them for the first time. He has a really big interest with little items, even if he doesn’t know what they’re originally for, as his childhood is nothing but a living nightmare. So, he tends to wear diapers for comfort, and sometimes even pull-ups just for when he’s big and wants to feel safer.

Very frequent nightmares, Vanitas always running to Noé for comfort. Whether they’re already in bed together or Vanitas runs to him sobbing, Papa is immediately his first and only hope of calming down down.

-He also tends to have a-lot of night-time accidents because of nightmares.

-He is very very very very very shy about his accidents but also isn’t good at changing himself, nor does he have the mental capacity in the moment to do so, and he tends to run off and hide right after he’s realized it’s happened. Even if it is 3 in the morning, he’s just woken up to a storm and Noé is trying to help him stay calm, he’ll slide out of bed and run to hide somewhere, like the bathroom or he’ll take a blankie to hide himself in the corner. The only exception to this, is when he wakes up from nightmares. The only moment he isn’t scared to ask for anything is when he’s woken up from a nightmare, and he will hold onto a sleeping Noé, fist fulls of his shirt in his hand as he sobs and wails into his Papa’s chest for comfort. Noé, despite being a heavy sleeper usually wakes up pretty quickly when it comes to his little one.

“PAPA! PAPA PAPA!” Vanitas screams as he sits up in bed, tears cascading down his cheeks. The taller vampire sits up as soon as he hears the desperate cries, and pulls him into his lap as fast as he can. “Oh Mon Ange…shhh shhh…” he whispers, lips to the top of his head as he then placed a few kisses. “Sweet baby, Papa’s here. Calm down little one, everything will be okay. It wasn’t real sweetheart, you’re right here with me little star. It’s okay…shhhh…” Noé wraps a blanket loosely over Vanitas’ shoulders as he bawls out into the night. “I know baby, I know…”

Kitties! Lots of kitty stuffies, kitty toys, blankies with kitties on them, pacifier with a kitty on it, kitty themed play mat, kitty themed children’s bowls/plates/silverware with paw prints on it, etc. Lots of kitties! (And stars)

Follows his Papa around like a lost puppy

Refuses to do anything ‘little’ in public, and won’t even go with Noé to pick out new little stuff for himself because he thinks somehow everyone would know.

He loves having stories read to him. Even after having 10 different stories read to him, he will still hand Noé another book.

Very picky/weird about toys. He has trouble playing with toys like blocks or puzzle blocks, but really likes small figures like LPS that he can just set up and make scenes with rather than really playing with them. The only toys he really plays with are very very infantile toys that require minimal thinking and effort, like rattles and the ring stack toys.

Even when big, but especially when small, he hates asking for things.

He absolutely hates bath time, and having to let Noé see his scars, and especially his arm. Noé has never mentioned it, but they both know it’s something to be worried about. For little Vanitas’ sake though, he never brings it up in conversation. Baths are usually an ordeal neither look forward to, but Noé always makes sure he takes them when little. Vanitas will cling, and even cry, to his Papa while being cleaned in the tub until he’s wrapped in a towel and let out.

Though baths are not his favorite, Vanitas is always rewarded with Noé massaging his whole body with lotion afterwards, and it’s become part of their nightly routine when Vanitas is little. The intimacy and soothing-ness of the act is essential in getting a regressed Vanitas to sleep.

He also demands lullabies, a bottle, and a nightlight so he can sleep. If his nightlight is dead or just won’t turn on, it’s a long sleepless night for Noé and a new nightlight added to his grocery receipt that week

Cuddling > playing > napping > bath

Whines and pouts a lot

Noé is very enthusiastic about Vanitas when regressed, and gets very excited to help him into cute jammies and coo over his sweet little baby. Sometimes he hugs Vanitas a little too tightly without realizing it.

Absolutely hates crying at all, especially in front of Noé, but when it isn’t from a sudden scare, Vanitas will dash off to hide somewhere when he feels he has to cry. He’ll even curl up as small as possible and hide under the kitchen sink to cry over spilling his juice. Of course Papa comes to fetch his little one and pulls him out from under there to hold him close and help him calm down after a bit of fussing and hesitance.

He has probably bit Noé before and would absolutely do it again.

Vanitas is actually very self conscious about his inability to really be happy that often when he’s regressed. Usually the reason he feels small: he’s on the verge of a panic attack, super stressed out, or just so exhausted he’s to the point of tears. While little he can’t help but feel really tired and often sad. But Papa always tells him it’s okay to be sad and have emotions like that, and even more okay to tell him about it and express them. Crying and being sad is part of being human, and with the sensitive topic of why Vanitas regresses, it’s only human he’d be a scared little one.

[vanitasnocarteconfessions]

“I like how most of VNC character are morally gray or have done something that you can’t define good or bad, like- Noe was ready to drink Vanitas’s blood against his will ( Vanitas ) but it was actually to save Domi because Noe believed that he didn’t have any other choice to save her. And it’s not even only Noe, almost every other character have done something bad but for "good" reasons. We haven’t seen Moreau’s backstory but I really think that he is the only one who is purely evil or he’s just very greedy in general.”

[fisherrprince]

hi. rolls up wearing a "Terra Fan #1" t-shirt. FOR the character ask game, 1, 2, 12, 14, 18, 21 (or 22, optionally), and 25, all for Terra!!! feel free to skip some if that's a bit Too Many At Once i'm simply the world's nosiest little beast :3

squints and carefully puts “Terra fan #2” shirt away (I can’t compete with my irl who loves Terra more than me it’d be foolish)

He’s BIG hes TEDDY BEAR and he has SO SO MANY PROBLEMS and he was three people and a terrifying armor ghost for years I love Lingering Will I think lingering will is the coolest thing ever. Wayfinders are my favorites when they’re vengeful ghosts

coughs. Lingering will. But actually I love that he’s a very polite boy I think a lesser medium would have made him edgier. He’s very polite and asks for things nicely and says please. good boy. 12. oh no I’m in a list wait

12. I think he’s very bad at cooking. I think he’s just downright bad at it it’s not that he doesn’t want to he is just bad. After kh3 he tries to get into it because aqua likes to bake as stress relief but he is not good at it however he CAN!!! make a KILLER kebab. because he just piles everything he likes to bbq on a stick

14. I. Honestly his normal aesthetic is so good for him. Samurai fantasy tech warrior is so good. And I don’t think athletic wear quite fits him? Put that boy in climbing gear maybe. Plenty of carabiners

18. Ummmmnnnnnhhhh UHHH ACTUALLY YOU KNOW WHAT i don’t quite know about this one bc all of his relationships are either sad or very brief I think he should interact with sora more though. I think they would get along well. I hope he chats with riku more too….. it’s so cute… maybe that’s the answer to the actual question. Wiku

21/22. Can you believe I’ve written him like once? Unbelievable. He’s just hard to do for me I think. I like it when ppl make Terra the lets go lesbians let’s go guy I love it when he’s just a woodworker he’s in a trade of some kind and lesbians just love the guy. It’s a trope I’ve seen like three times and every time it’s so funny to me. Who would have guessed. the big gentle himbo. But I also don’t like it when fics make him Too Mean?? You know? This is a problem with both Terra and Aqua I think people assume they’re older and therefore stricter and more entrenched in master eraqus’ teachings and completely unwilling to go near the idea of accepting darkness and while I don’t think that interpretation is wrong or not easily supported, it just feels… too harsh… like they didn’t also go through a big darkness revelation and have to deal with it all by themselves and maybe they wouldn’t find Riku to be comforting, if not a major relief. idk. You can make them as complex as you want (personally I have thoughts about how unintentionally bad they are at emotions and communication ALL THE TIME) but i get sad if they’re one dimensionally mean :( I get it you want a bad guy in your vanitas redemption. But cmon :(

25. I (thinking) I basically watched kh backwards. Sort of. So my first impression was actually,, Terra giving his friends a big hug and crying!! So I always knew he was a sweet boy. Now he is a complex sweet boy who made bad decisions and his whole arc can be taken with different readings beyond even the effects of manipulation into cycles of power and relapse or su(i am dragged offstage by a comically long cane) HEY

[gulava]

Hey can i hear abt ur passed pawn duo/sora kairi bbs theory pls im rlly curious

AAAAAA IM SO HAPPY U ASKED OK so for me i think they’ve been dropping hints in each game for a very long time but it’s easy to miss them.

The biggest one as of recent is in MOM where Kairi tries to find Sora in her memories. She might have thought he returned to her like Vanitas had Ventus’s past memories after being split from him in the way they were (KH3 novel states this) so that’s why I believe she chose the memory search method. She thought it’d be the most productive way to save Sora because he’s not just a product of himself but the old Kairi as well. He had her old memories for a very long time and it helped shape who he is even if it was on a subconscious level. Xehanort says those memories long gone and that implies Kairi’s old memories went SOMEWHERE.

But why do I think this? I’ve got a few examples.

Kairi didn’t want to leave the islands but Sora held an interest in Kairi’s home world. “Xion came from Castle Oblivion. That’s probably why she was asking about the place.” Riku runs operations for the Sora search out of Radiant Garden where Kairi is from. Ienzo states he hasn’t seen Sora since the castle but…he never saw Sora at Castle Oblivion. Sora also is the one to help restore Radiant Garden. And a small note I enjoy is Sora apologizing for lying to Ariel about not being from another world. Ariel isn’t mad and states if he can visit other worlds, maybe she can too. Reminds me of Sora looking like he thinks Riku is talking to him when he’s telling Kairi it’s thanks to her he thought of trying to go to another world. He might’ve gotten credit if he was honest about who he used to be. If he even knows. Shang also gets upset at Mulan for lying about her identity and Sora even expresses he can relate to her in the manga version.

(Maybe for different reasons but the reading of what gender you view him as is up to you. Personally, I read him as a trans guy.)

Sora makes the difference in helping save Aqua. Aqua stated she felt like she met Kairi for a reason and Sora helping save her after ten years of suffering in the Dark World sounds like a pretty big reason to me. He could also use her weapon Master Defender which Kairi touched Aqua’s weapon when they met and people have theorized that’s how Kairi can use Destiny’s Embrace so…wouldn’t the same be possible for the old Kairi?

Xion looks more like Kairi but she has a lot more similarities to Sora in her personality that Riku himself can’t help but notice in the Days novel. It wasn’t just him seeing Xion as Sora. He felt like he couldn’t lie to her because of how much Xion and Sora had in common. She also stays at Hollow Bastion after running away. From this, I think she’s supposed to be a hint that the old Kairi has been Sora right under our noses this whole time. Xion also expresses worry about Kairi in the Days novel that’s very reminiscent of Sora’s care for her. Namine actually keeps her promise to be real friends with Sora through Xion too. My favorite indication of this is Data Sora asking Data Namine if she kept her promise “to the me I don’t know”. That’s why them talking happily in the KH3 ending is even sweeter.

That’s just some of my reasons but I’m out of energy so we can continue this in another ask later if you’re interested! I’m really happy to know people are curious about this because it feels like it’s becoming more and more real with each game.

Sora x Tifa

Part 23

Part 22 below

Tifa locked the bar door and they took the road back home. They walked close to each other, enjoying the silent surroundings of a warm night. She wanted to tell him “I love you” but stopped herself as she didn’t want to spoil the moment, she knew how uncomfortable it was for Sora, that it was still a single-sided feeling.

Suddenly Sora stopped, looking around.

- What’s wrong? - Tifa asked.

- Shhh…

He was convinced that he saw a shadow moving between the buildings and heard a sound that he knew but didn’t hear for a long time.

- It’s impossible. - he whispered. - But still…

Tifa was searching for any abnormalities as well.

- What’s wrong? Have you seen something?

- Yeah but it can’t be… Not here.

- Can you use whole sentences, please? - Tifa asked impatiently.

Something black and little jumped at them out of nowhere but Sora, who summoned his keyblade, hit it at the right moment. Creature attacked again, still unsuccessfully and vanished into the ground, leaving a black spot, which disappeared a second later.

- What was that? - Tifa’s eyes were filled with fear.

- Unverse. They are born from sadness and pain but they shouldn’t even exist. I can’t believe they are here.

Sora stayed alert and was still looking around in search of other enemies.

- Let’s go, it’s not safe here. - he pushed his girlfriend forward.

Two minutes later they were home.

- Those Unversed, they are made from sadness? - Tifa was curious about the creature.

- Yeah, the last time I’ve seen them was at least six years ago, before the Keyblade War. They were tied to Vanitas, a true badass, completely drowned into darkness. I remember fighting them was quite a challenge, although the one you’ve seen was the weakest of them all.

She didn’t know what to think about it. All of the monsters she fought in Midgar were made because of mako radiation, not people's feelings.

Sora, on the other hand, found himself diving in sadness again as memories of his past returned to him, full of pain. “Stop. I’m not like him, he’s my opposite. And I was never alone there, my friends were with me all the time, it was a good time.” he tried to convince himself.

When they were ready to go to bed Tifa decided that she needed to cheer Sora up.

- Honey? Look at me, please.

She took her shirt off, exposing her naked chest as she bent over the bed towards him with a playful smile. It was enough for him to forget about his thoughts. He walked up to her and spanked her to tease her a bit. Then he laid down on his back next to her and showed her to lean closer. She made her breasts slide up his body and let him bury his face between them. Then she sat on top of him and placed his palms on her hips. She leaned forward and kissed him with arousement.

- I want you to take control over me tonight. - she whispered teasingly in his ear.

Sora made them both roll around on the bed so he placed himself on top of her.

- Hands above your head and don't you dare move them.

Tifa did what he said. She liked that ordering tone he used.

- If you'll be a good girl, you'll be rewarded.

He started teasing her body with his mouth, placing kisses all over it which made her move a little with excitement. He slid her panties off and moved his fingers up her inner side of legs. It made her shiver and she let out a short sigh. He laid next to her and started teasing her down there with his fingers. Tifa started moaning with pleasure.

- I want to hear your heartbeat. - she said.

- You've behaved yourself so I think you deserve it.

Sora moved towards her so she could place her ear on his chest. The sound of his thudding pump made her tremble.

- It's so fast, so strong. I wanna touch you, please, can I?

- Do it, I need to feel you. - his breathing quickened.

Tifa's hands were immediately holding and teasing his crotch and it made his heart skip multiple beats.

- Oh my god… - she was absolutely lost in the sound.

They continued this way until they both reached satisfaction with racing hearts and short breaths. Shortly after, they drifted off to sleep with Tifa's head still placed on Sora's chest and his hand feeling the beat under her left breast.

“I can’t believe I would run back to you again...”  

The night was silent. The waves were gently caressing the beach and the sea was bathing in the blue moonlight. There were not clouds at all, they would have stained the beautiful, dreamy night that felt like a fever dream.  

She was holding her chest while opening her corset to breathe. Her parasol was ripped, the dress she was wearing was torn half off and she was panting heavily. Her feet were stained in the sand, she had not worn shoes at all.

“Jeanne.”

He stood there, calm as the ocean, his eyes glowing bluer than the milky way. His presence was ethereal, nothing she’d ever seen before. In her eyes, he didn’t seem to be the same selfish man anymore – no, he looked like an angel in this indigo night with eternal silence. The sound of waves calmed her down as she tried her best to not think about him any further, but she knew she would not leave now.  

He turned around to see her and smiled widely. Sudden butterflies filled Jeanne’s stomach, not those fluttering little ones but huge birds that would make her vomit of feelings. Yet, she dared not look away.

“It’s nothing, I just... had something important to tell you”, she gulped, staring at those starry eyes. “Don’t get me wrong, damn human.”

And he laughed; there was nothing funny about it, but he laughed his angelic laugh again. She looked away in embarrassment.  

“You know, Jeanne”, the way he pronounced her name made her heart stop, “you’re so pretty in this moonlight.”

Her eyes flew open as she stared at him again. Something burned her cheeks, as if someone had just thrown fire into them, and she felt her legs chaining herself to the sand. He took a few steps closer and reached his hand out to touch her soft, rosy cheek, but she shook him off.  

“Sh-shut up, human...” she muttered. “I don’t like you; you should know that by now...”

“But you do like my blood, right, Jeanne?”

And he was right. She desired his blood more than anything else in this world. The soft scent was the sole reason she was here, she tried to tell herself, and she would not need anything more, ever. Only his blood would satisfy her eternal thirst.

“Yes, I do”, she whispered. “That is... why I am here.”

He cupped her chin on his fingertips and turned her to look at him, she could not hold the butterflies anymore. His eyes were intensely locked at hers and for a moment, she got lost in that azure heaven.

“Then, you shall have it”, he said with a smile, revealing his bare shoulder.

She had not planned it at all. That was not the reason she was here, and what if she lost control? She should have not even mentioned it, but now that he was offering it for free, she could never refuse. Or maybe it was the reason she had arrived... at this point, she wasn’t even sure anymore.

In a second’s thought, she bit him. He let out a soft moan as her teeth pierced his flesh, and that voice made her want him even more. His blood – it was delicious, bittersweet, filled with rose petals and angels’ laugh, and she wanted it more. And more, and more. She couldn’t stop herself, even though he was moaning a bit louder, she didn’t want to stop.

“Ah, Jeanne...” he gasped. “That... feels so good, actually.”

She felt warm touch on her back as his arms wrapped gently around her, pulling her closer. And she knew she had to stop now, now was the right moment. She couldn’t control herself either way.

He looked at her messed up face and the blood on her lips and smirked. And she couldn’t help but look back at him.  

“Damn you, Vanitas”, she murmured.  

For a moment, he looked surprised. “You called me by my name, Jeanne.”

She blushed crimson red again. He was still holding her tight, so close that she could have almost kissed him if she had wanted to. And deep down, she did want it.

“Vanitas”, she repeated. “I’m not here for this, I... I’m here to tell you an... urgent matter.”

He caressed her cheek so lovingly she was stunned to speak again. He would not let her go, and she would not confess her feelings now. She would not do that. She couldn’t seem like an easy woman. But no, she couldn’t help it; she had fallen for him, way too much and way too deep, like the ocean at night. So dark and mysterious, and no one was waiting for her in the bottom.

“What is it then, Jeanne dear?”  

Her heart was beating out of her chest as he spoke. She tried to contain her feelings and look at him with a professional look, but soon the feelings would overthrow this logical state she was in.

“Don’t look at me like that”, she whispered softly.

“Like what?”

“Like that”, she said again. “You’re making me nervous, Vanitas, almost as if I'd want you to kiss me.”

She regretted it the second she said it and closed her eyes in embarrassment. In a sudden, she felt an angelic force on her, she saw a rose garden, she felt the soft petals falling on her as she felt the first euphoria she had ever felt. Something soft and sweet, like a peach, or a sip of cherry wine, scent of old books.  

Vanitas backed away from the kiss, and she looked at him again, now she could not contain anything anymore.

“I love you, Vanitas”, she gently said. “I... really... always loved you, somehow.”

“And of course, I love you, my dear Jeanne.”

[kh-yumio]

So I’ve seen you illustrate Vanitas and other cast having other features due to the darkness or not being human. What about nobodies? I like to think nobodies look human but that isn’t their true form. This would make it easier for them to get close to humans. I headcanon that nobodies also have the desire to consume hearts, even if it doesn’t do anything for them. It’s sort of like scratching an itch, you know? Because their own hearts are gone/locked away/growing.

I know a lot of “nobodies” no longer exist since KH3 and the use of Replicas. But I like to think for characters who never saw or identified as people aka namine, roxas, xion in their replica bodies they’d still maintain their nobodies species. (Minus the heart eating, unless it’s heartless haha.)

I’d love to hear and see your thoughts on this little blurb of mine if they interest you enough for that. No expectations or pressure. Love your work, can’t wait to see more.

Ok, your headcanon of them desiring to consume hearts is *Chef kiss*. The desire to have a heart even if it's not their own, take it from someone else just to fulfill a need and the desire to feel but get nothing 😞

I have a some of headcanons regarding the appearance of the Nobodies, yes, but nothing really that noticeable compared to Vanitas. I like to believe that their hands and feet are faded to white (because it's the predominant color on lower-ranked Nobodies), the pupils of their eyes are elongated and sharp, and some gain pointy ears.

Example with Larxene - Elrena:

Now that Namine and Roxas have Replica bodies they no longer have those characteristics and pass as ordinary humans.

Hi. Could I request Vanitas and Noe with a female s/o who has the ability of Asterokinesis (Star Manipulation) via altering the world formula?

Vanitas + Noe - Star Power MC

A rare, peaceful evening in Paris for those who fought in secret to protect its citizens.

Vanitas, Noé, and [Y/N] had been sitting at a café in front of their hotel when Luca and Jeanne walked by. The young lord had been happy to see you all, while his attendant kept her usual flustered cool, and [Y/N] invited them to join.

Talking and laughing for a bit over coffees, [Y/N] sense a sudden shift in the air. “Luca, what’s wrong?” [Y/N] asked. Noticing the boy’s sullen expression.

He immediately looked up from his hands and floundered, “n-nothing. Nothing at all. I’m fine.” Of course [Y/N] didn’t believe him.

She came over and knelt down in front of Luca. “You don’t have to act brave when you don’t want to. Everyone gets upset sometimes. It’s ok.”

The boy’s face fell and he looked down at his hands again. “It’s just all these curse-bearers. It’s upsetting. I’m not frightened or anything, but it’s so sad to think of them in pain. I feel like, as a noble, I should be able to do something.”

“Noblesse oblige,” Luca seemed confused by [Y/N]’s words and she smiled. “That’s a very fancy term you’ll learn one day. I can’t really help with those feelings, but I’d like to cheer you up.” In her hand a small ball of light appeared. Making Luca gasp as he stared at it’s warm glow.

Her light seemed to attract the attention of the others and they came over. Just as the light started to dance around and others joined, before they shot off into the sky to continue their dance there. Flickering around the stars and a bright, over shinning display.

“Amazing!” Noé noted as he watched the astrological waltz. “How did you do that?”

“It’s a special kind of formula manipulation called ‘astrokinesis’. Or star manipulation. Of course I can’t really manipulate stars, given that they are billions of lightyears away and have a cosmic density to crush planets, but I can interact with them. For a short time.”

“Can you make other things with the formula?” Luca asked excitedly. “Could you make a constellation of a bird?”

“No! Do Murr!” Noé chimed in, without about as much enthusiasm as his young counterpart.

[Y/N] giggled at their dueling excitement. Seeming to egg each other on. “Any requests Vanitas?” She asked as she morphed another ball of light between her hands.

“How about a dazzling portrait of me?” He asked, with a cheesy, cheeky grin. To which Jeanne gave him a sharp punch in the ribs.

“Could you make a rose?” The white-haired witch asked shyly. To which [Y/N] smiled and sent a blush pink orb into the sky to create it.

The rest of the evening was spent like this. Friends ooo-ing and aww-ing at the constellations that [Y/N] created, while she enjoyed the marvel of her art. Truly a wonderful evening.

All I Want For Christmas Is You

Kingdom Hearts

How a Few of My Favorite Kingdom Hearts Characters Would Spend Christmas With Their SO

My Christmas Special

Characters: Sora, Heart Hotel, Demyx, Ava, Player

I would have added more characters, but mobile Tumblr wouldn’t let me. I’m still salty about it.

Sora

Now, this depends on which Sora we’re talking about. There are multiples.

Sora would go all out for his S/O. He’d wanna decorate the house, dress the tree, bake cookies, wrap presents for friends, caroling (even though he can’t sing). He’d wanna do all of it with them. Christmas morning is no different. He’d get his S/O a lot of stuff from many different worlds. He’s stuck to them like glue. Christmas is a second Valentine’s Day to him.

Roxas is less exaggerative than his counterpart, but still wants his S/O to know he thought of them this time of year. The most he’d go for is the tree and some presents. Maybe stockings. All he wants is time with them. If his S/O wanted to watch the Disney Christmas Sing-a-Long (From All of Us to All of You) he’d definitely sing along to that last song. If you know, you know.

Xion was excited about Christmas every year, but got even more excited when she realized she’d wanna spend it with her S/O. Like Sora, this is a second Valentine’s Day for her. But unlike Sora, she wouldn’t go overboard with the gifts to the point that there is no room for them. 10 gift max from her.

Ventus is the sweetest this season, despite the fact he still believes in Santa Clause. (I hope we’re on the same page here and I didn’t just make a kid cry.) Not to say Sora got his want of sticking to his S/O’s side from Ventus, but come on. I’d be lying. Rather than buying stuff from random stores, he’d make something for his S/O. He definitely didn’t ask Aqua to put magic on it. What are you thinking?

Naminé doesn’t completely understand Christmas. She’d buy her S/O a few gifts but get completely flustered (the good kind) when her S/O gets her at least one. She’d also wanna spend time with her S/O on Christmas, just in a comfortable silence.

Vanitas is an odd case. From what I can tell, he’s very tsundere with Christmas. He’ll get his S/O one thing and absolutely refuse anything in return. But that one thing holds a lot of depth, so they know he got it right. Still, very tsundere towards Christmas. Think The Beast in Belle’s Enchanted Christmas, but less angry.

Data-Sora is a sweet boy. Considering nothing about Christmas was written in the journal, he probably doesn’t know about it, but he’s eager to learn. Again, this is a second Valentine’s Day for him. Just a time to let Data-S/O know how much he cares about them. Since he’s still new to Christmas, he’s not gonna go overboard like Sora does. He wouldn’t do the bare minimum, but not too much either. A few gifts he knows his S/O would like, Christmas pajamas, Christmas morning cuddles after presents. Sweet boy.

Demyx

Demyx is a lazy bum, but will do something nice for his S/O on Christmas. He’s not heartless. Not saying he’d do a full on candlelight dinner nice, but a few gifts.

Ava

Ava is very sweet. Ventus probably got his sweetness from her. From most Forteller fics I read, romantic attachment is forbidden to The Fortellers (*cough* Jedi Order *cough*). So she can’t really shout her love for her S/O to the heavens and it kills her. She still wants to make their Christmas special, but she’d be sneaky about it. She sneak a few presents into their house and not leave her name on the tags, but her S/O knows it’s from her.

Player/Pre-Xehanort

Player is like a more introverted Sora. He/She does care for his/her S/O, but still wouldn’t go overboard with gifts and traditions. Tree? Yes. House lights? Think of the light bill. Stockings? Adorable. Presents? Definitely. He/She would get his/her S/O a few good one he/she knows his/her S/O would like.

@chocalafolie​ // ONE WARRIOR EACH FROM BELTRAN, FRASER, AND VANITAS. 

a thunderous slamming of doors announces the angry Head of House Fraser. she storms into the agreed upon meeting room with distaste and fury upon her features. of course, he’s late. rage gripped her every movement, and quickened her blood. her vessels feel as if they could burst. she continues to seethe in silence, until the entry of the House of Beltran interrupts her racing thoughts. the shatter dagger in its ankle holster is still laying in wait against her sandal strap. her daydreams allow her to finally plunge the object into that fickle heart of the Pendragon and eat it raw, but she knows she must keep a semblance of manners. she knows this isn’t a possible reality just yet. even so, hands fly up to the collar of his shirt– the jolting chaos intending to shove the man into a corner. “This is all your fault.” she could feel her sharpened teeth tearing into her mouth as her words lashed out, “I can’t believe I ever trusted you with correspondence. I always knew you were a worthless leader and you show it even now. Do you realize how weak this makes us look? Do you even CARE?” she can taste a hint of blood in her mouth as she retaliates in even more acrimony. “I should have spoken my mind and volunteered you to the Princess when I had the chance.”

My criticism for the lack of the depicted Domi scene in the VNC Amusement Park arc ending

No, this is NOT about Domi not talking to Noe at the hotel

I really wish we saw the visible scene for this! Not just Misha verbally stating that it happened off-screen. Domi was already controlled by Misha, but she still didn’t completely lose herself and rather tried to stop the other controlled vampires from harming humans. It would’ve been amazing and more emotional to see her protect innocent people ;w;

One or two panels would’ve been enough to visually show this plot twist and positive trait of Domi. Or more / bigger panels, for the better. It could’ve been some beautiful closure for her, once again emphasizing her potential strength. At the beginning of the arc, Domi’s appearance was really, visually shocking and impactful - well depicted. At the end of the arc, it turned out her early disturbing status itself was the very deceiving plot twist that Domi was in fact NEVER the attacker!

However, it’s easy to forget or get confused, cuz the time gap is pretty big FROM Domi’s suspicious appearance in blood TO Misha’s revelation of the truth behind the scene. Between these two moments, a LOT of important and intense stories happened: Vanitas & Misha & Luna past, Vanitas & Noe fight (feat. Domi & Jeanne), Shapeless One’s sudden appearance... I wouldn’t be too surprised tbh if most people still believe Domi was one guilty culprit (under Misha’s control) who actually attacked the innocent victims OTL

I personally hoped the anime would visualize Domi protecting humans in the form of Misha recalling the past, even if just for a few seconds...but it didn’t happen OTL I also wondered if Mochizuki-sensei would add some clear panel(s) for the complete volume 10...but there was no change for the scene, either ;_;

I know Mochizuki-sensei was super busy and exhausted in every way, due to the VNC anime and all the PH & VNC events and all! That’s why I can’t help but personally feel that she might’ve described the Domi scene more in detail, IF she were more at ease when working on the volume...which makes me sad ;A;

Or, this happened possibly because the narrator Noe had no chance to witness the Domi scene from Misha’s memories; Misha explicitly forced Noe to read his Vanitas-related old past, not the recent days with Domi. Besides, unfortunately, Domi herself might not clearly remember the very moments, either, cuz she was almost unconscious then, perhaps, oops asdfg idk XD
