I will never not be thinking of Soriku

[blowingoffsteam2]

“All paths are connected somewhere. When I arrive at where you are, we may not appear to be as we were. But we’ll make another promise to keep.”

Yozora fulfilling Riku’s role in this poem and thinking Sora must be the person he made this “promise”, progressed to an oath, to because of the memories of Riku from the broken pieces of Sora’s heart eclipsing and entangling with his own real memories of his promise to protect/oath to save Nameless Star, because he’s in the middle of his own Chain of Memories arc in this essay I will

For the last day of pride month: sea salt family!

when youre playing com theres one pretty important thing to namines personality that i think people gloss over. and that is that she doesnt feel that bad about what shes done? namine is a character who knows shes done something terrible, and understands that she should feel bad about it, but doesnt. shes still willing to help sora, because she knows thats the right thing to do, but shes guilt trippy about it. shes not a moral paragon shes trying to convince sora through guilt to keep fake memories so she can have a friend. when she tells sora she can give him his memories back and sora agrees, she says "oh, okay. nobody needs to keep a bunch of memories that arent real, right? you want to remember all the people who are REALLY important to you." she is someone who does the right thing in the end but isnt completely sold on it. btw im not trying to paint namine as someone who is like. actively a bad person. because shes really not. shes a kid who was lonely. but im sososo tired of people acting like she feels terrible about everything she did. which is also my gripe with her in every game after com because it feels like they just kind of erased that aspect of her? her personality has been completely removed aside from "feeling guilty" and im so tired of it. if one more woman in kh gets her personality sanitized im going to kill.

was about to complain about how all the women in kh (mostly namine) have been so sanitized but honestly i think ive already ranted about that?

I think it’d be really, really funny if the Civilians of Twilight Town keep trying to guess what Roxas, Xion, Lea, and Isa’s deal is, trying to fit them into SOME sort of even remotely traditional family structure and end up with, like, six different competing rumors even before the polite blonde girl who divides her time between “the old abandoned mansion, which they guess she owns?” and “nowhere in the area.”

And then the visiting scientist.

And the other visiting scientist.

And the scientists’ apparent son (other son?), who spends his entire trip talking with Pence about something they’ve clearly been collaborating on for at least a year despite the fact that no one’s ever seen him before.

Xion introduces a boy who looks nothing like her, currently lives with his family (not, she specifies, her family,) and has no relationship with Roxas or Lea whatsoever. Apparently they’re both the children (okay, he says creations, but Even’s an odd one) of one of the scientists. Technically, they say. They look nothing alike. They’re pretty sure he doesn’t live with the scientist, either. He does know Namine (presumed to be the scientists’ mutual daughter) but they say they’re not siblings point blank. Someone crosses Xion and Namine being sisters off a whiteboard, then considers and puts a question mark there.

Roxas’s incredibly obvious identical twin shows up and they claim to be half-brothers. Roxas will skateboard away from all followup questions. On another trip, he’ll bring a third boy who introduces himself as “the other half of (Ven’s) heart” and then immediately refers to Roxas, Xion, and Ven (but not Lea or the other boy, who nonetheless knows him) as his siblings. He claims to have been born at the dawn of time and just after the worlds shattered and also sixteen years ago. (Vanitas knows exactly what he is doing and is THRIVING off the chaos.)

Based off similar hair colors, her apparent dislike of Lea, and sheer desperation, half the town is convinced that Aqua and Isa are siblings and she sided with him during the breakup. There’s no consensus about how Terra fits into this. (Isa’s not correcting them. About any of this. It’s not worth it.)

Seifer gets back from a journey of self-discovery and asks who the newbies are and gets shown eight different, mutually-contradictory conspiracy boards in the form of family tree/relationship charts. Lauriam and Elrena have been the source of multiple schisms among the gossip mill.

By the time Sora shows up again even Hayner, Pence and Olette are having trouble keeping everything straight, and they actually know the whole story.

idk about yall but I'm gonna need some serious hair make-overs of previous organization members

[seorikkun]

xion in it's live

[stararise]

i love this shot bc like. yeah it's the culmination of the entire dark seeker saga. yeah they are forming a incomplete heart symbol at the crossroads of the keyblade graveyard which also conveniently includes a 3. yeah it kinda just looks cool in general.

but mostly it's because xion, dark riku, and vanitas are so comically short. and ansem and xemnas are way taller than everyone else, made even more noticeable because they're at the back. meanwhile the light side did not coordinate their outfits, especially axelea who, aside from being the tallest by far, looks like he's on the wrong team here. not to mention mickey

[peachstarfall]

i got a little too into dnd back in 2022 and just. never really.... stopped. making characters. 🧍

[sunhalf]

so few people cares about xion, all on her own. everyone she knows and love cares about her by proxy of someone else. sora cares about xion because xion is kairi. kairi cares for xion because xion is sora. riku cares about xion because she's both of his best friends. roxas cares for her because so much of her is kairi and so much of him is sora. aqua and terra care about xion because she's ventus. even with axel, it's hard not to fear that part of what he loves about her is the parts that are just roxas. absolutely everyone she knows loves what she is copied from —— absolutely everyone who loves her loves her ( she sometimes thinks ) not as herself but as proxy for someone else. at the very least, their care for her is influenced by the fact that she's a copy of what they already loved, and without that they might not love her as much or at all. and this goes the other way, too. would she love riku the way she does if she wasn't built to do so? does she have to second - guess her own love, too? she trusts that roxas and axel care for her absolutely. she doesn't NOT believe that aqua and terra and hayner and kairi and et cetera do genuinely care for her. but it's really difficult and painful to have so few bonds that are genuinely hers, and to have to wonder if these bonds would exist at all if it weren't for the people she echoes. sure they care about her now, but — would kairi care for her if she wasn't sora? would aqua love her if she wasn't ven? and, worse, if love of her is just a copy of love of somebody else, she can never fully trust that the people she loves ( roxas and lea aside, and even with them some small part of her believes that they love each other more than they love her ) wouldn't abandon her in favor of the original, if it came to that. she just...wants something that's all hers. relationships that are all hers, and not echos of somebody else's love.

[empxrical]

organization xiii really is just that meme with everyone thinking "thank god i'm the only normal person here"

[dreamsy990]

my thoughts on ddd basically boil down to "great game! kill the story with fire and sticks." which i think is about the coldest take ever. do not get me started on how nobodies having hearts is a dumbfuck plot twist i am so full of rage over that.

I am of the firm opinion that, until EXPLICITLY proven otherwise by canon, Kingdom Hearts Court Magician Donald Duck spent most of his childhood and adolescence traveling across the worlds on adventures with his Uncle Scrooge, and that's where he learned magic.

This is also where he discovered a lot of magical items, not to mention all the ones SCROOGE found, so honestly Donald doesn't even bother to keep track of all the treasures in the Duck Family's possession, no one does really, not even SCROOGE knows, he'll go digging one up because he needs one for a specific purpose/adventure and in the process he'll unearth like five similar ones he just plain forgot about.

Obviously Scrooge continued adventuring while Donald was off being a Musketeer, including at least one use of Zettaflare that is forever engraved in Goofy and Mickey's memories but for Donald was just in his bottom quarter of all-time adventure rankings, and obviously Scrooge continued finding fantastical treasures that he may or may not know the significance of. There's at least one magical sword that's currently being used at the Bistro as a knife because it never loses its edge.

What I'm saying is Scrooge McDuck is a Keyblade wielder and you cannot convince me otherwise. A weapon that can also open any chest is INVALUABLE to an adventurer like him, are you kidding? When he retired from adventuring in favor of being a full-time entrepreneur he just chucked it in the bin with everything else. Probably he managed to find one of the Foretellers' old Keyblades lying around or something. It'd just figure. No one told HIM he was needed for a war between light and darkness for the fate of all the worlds! Donald never tells him where he's been these days!

While I laid out this proposition to a friend on Discord, she agreed and added that Webby should get a Keyblade too.

Conclusion:

This is the current wielder of Ira's Keyblade. Scrooge had it lying around for a decade in some attic somewhere, Webby thought the unicorn was cool, and Scrooge figured, hey! Every child should have a good set of lockpicks for treasure chests and a means of self-defense, and it's not as though he's using it for anything important!

When Donald finds this out, he will be disappointed, but not surprised.

[raineadey]

imagine you’re angry at the world and everyone for telling you you shouldn’t exist because of this one boy and now, as if that wasnt enough, you find that you are also attracted to that boy’s crush, who is the exact same person who took your existence personally then attempted to kill you. you are attracted to him and it is out of your hands. poor roxas but this is so fucking funny

the idea of the heart hotel sharing some of soras important feelings and memories is really funny when it comes to soriku because i think roxas would especially hate that

[genshingorlsrevengeance]

Since you can do MMD stuff now I have a request!

The Fontaine gals with an S/O who likes to eat ice cream with them atop somewhere high while watching the sunset! (Inspired by Kingdom Hearts)

(Genshin Impact) Navia, Furina, and Lynette eating ice cream with their S/O

I'd throw my sea salt ice cream at Xion's head.

Navia prefers baked treats over cold ones, but she'll have no complaints about sharing either with her S/O!

And when it comes to their choice of their scenery, Navia absolutely loves it.

Watching the sunset with her lover at her side gets her heart racing.

Though with that being said, she only goes along if that evening is not particularly windy.

The last thing she wants is her hat flying off into the wind at that height.

Mostly because she'll go after it, which S/O would have to grab Navia and make sure she won't fall.

And with how strong she is, she's taking S/O with her.

She also tries to make sure the ice cream doesn't drip down onto her dress, but other than that, sitting next to them is one of her new favorite past times!

===

Navia smiled as she took a bite into the frozen treat, turning to S/O and raising her sunglasses.

S/O blushed at her bright expression, staring more at her than the sunset itself.

(S/O) "Sure thing! I'm sure you can make it taste better too!"

(Navia) "Aw, I can't make it without you, silly! Now, what did you call this again?"

(S/O) "Sea Salt Ice Cream."

(Navia) "Sea Salt, got it! There should be no shortage of that around here, I'm surprised no one's made this sooner!"

(S/O) "A friend of mine taught me the recipe. He liked sitting up here with his friends and eating the same thing."

Navia's sunglasses dropped back down as she moved closer to S/O, taking another bite from her ice cream.

(Navia) "Well...I'm glad you wanted to share this sight with me too!"

Furina is a woman of class, only enjoying the most delectable of desserts adorned with fancy decorations.

And their taste must be nothing short of sublime!

So when it comes to ice cream, admittedly, she finds them lacking, but sweets are sweets!

And the ones S/O had chosen to share with her passed her expectations!...When it comes to the taste, anyway.

But when it came to their choice of location, Furina was more than happy to watch the sunset in silence with S/O.

It was honestly a nice change of pace than the opera houses they'd frequent. This secluded place on the wall overlooking a large part of Fontaine felt like a special place, reserved only for them.

===

Furina examined the treat before her under close scrutiny. Appearance-wise, it was just a block of blue. Boring!

But, S/O had made this specially for her. The taste passed her inspection but it was admittedly bland. She would have to properly inform them how to make amazing treats!

(S/O) "Do you like it?"

(Furina) "The taste is adequate. But would it have killed you to put some flair onto this ice cream?"

(S/O) "Well, my friend never really taught me to do anything special with it."

(Furina) "Your friend?"

(S/O) "Oh, did I not tell you? He's the one who taught me how to make it! We all shared the ones he made at this very spot. Heh, everytime he showed us, he'd ask if we "got it memorized" every single time!"

While Furina was listening, she became enraptured by S/O's face as they recalled their fond memory, smiling as the sun was shining on them.

They had noticed she was staring and tilted their head curiously.

(S/O) "Is something wrong?"

Furina smiled and tasted her ice cream, then leaning the treat towards S/O.

Admittedly, Lynette did not try too many dishes that were either too hot or cold. The only exception for that being tea, and even then she had to wait for it to cool off.

Due to inheriting the cat-like traits, a very sensitive tongue was one of the things she had to learn to live with.

So, ice cream was something she did not have often, although she admittedly did enjoy it, but not to the same degree as other dessert aficionados.

But she won't say no to a free meal, especially one provided by her S/O.

And seeing how happy S/O was to give her the homemade ice cream, she couldn't refuse that smile.

Doubly so when she got to watch the sun set next to them, though feeling the heat directly made her want to take a nap more than anything.

===

Lynette looked at the ice cream in her hands, noticing how basic the shape was.

Shrugging, her tongue poked out from her lips as she gave the ice cream a lick, immediately recoiling.

S/O chuckled at her cute reaction.

(S/O) "I mean, it is ice cream, Lynette. How did it taste?"

Lynette stared blankly at S/O before failing to contain a small smile from growing. She waited for a few moments before taking another lick, noting the taste.

(Lynette) "Salty, but sweet at the same time. Surprisingly not too strong in either direction."

(S/O) "Okay, good! My friend would never let me live it down if I messed up the recipe for my girlfriend."

Now it was Lynettte's turn to quietly chuckle as she looked at the setting sun, feeling the warmth on her skin.

(Lynette) "I don't think Lyney would either. Speaking of which, do you mind making more for him as well?"

(S/O) "Sure. Want me to teach you as well? It's pretty simple."

Lynette paused for a moment, her ears twitching.

(Lynette) "I don't have to use any appliances, do I?"

(S/O) "The stovetop and freezer, mostly."

(Lynette) "I...think I'll watch, so that way I don't break it."

S/O laughed, almost dropping their own ice cream.

(S/O) "Okay. You'll at least eat them when I make them, right?"

Lynette smiled at them before getting back to slowly finishing up the ice cream.

(Lynette) "I won't eat one every day, but I will when you make them."

Top Reason for Nomination

Riku Replica

real excerpt from the novels:

Blue pants and a yellow shirt. Black gloves and black wristbands. His hair, he could just see it—that was silver.

This is…me?

But something felt terribly off. It didn’t feel like this was his own body.

Except it was. He was in it.

The boy began walking.
