7 PEOPLE I’D LIKE TO KNOW BETTER. rules:  fill this up and then tag 7 people you’d like to know better!

one / ( alias / name ):  Acara, though I have been called Rambler before two / ( date of birth ): May 29th three / ( zodiac sign ): Gemini Monkey four / ( height ): 5′ 9″ (actually more like 5′ 8 and 3/4″ but I round up lol) five / ( hobbies ): doodling, writing, reading, playing with pets, going for walks both outside and on wikis  six / ( favorite color ):  Yellow!  seven / ( favorite books ): Hm, does manga count? Because it would be probably be Dream Saga by Megumi Tachikawa. This series holds a close place to my heart, as I managed to get all volumes of it back in the early 2000s, before  it went out of print. When I was in middle-school and reading all the manga I could get my hands on, this one stood out to me. While plenty of manga and anime have references and allusions to Japaneses mythology, this was the first one I read that came out and said ‘here is the creation myth of Japan and here is the myth of Susanoo rescuing the princess’, which kept it from going all over my kid head. It kind of became a starting off point for me to learn more about the mythology, and the art became a big influence on me. eight / ( last song listened to ):  Hell or High Water by The Rescues  nine / ( last film or show watched ): Other than SRMTHFG? Hm, probably was the Ducktales reboot.  ten / ( story behind url ): I ramble, a lot. My main blog is randomramblingtidbits but here I am rambling about SRHMHG!  eleven / ( inspiration for muse / talk about an oc ): Oh boy, you ready to see my rambling first hand? :D

So once upon a time I had this massive SRMTHG fanfic I began writing after season three wrapped up. Even back then I was of the opinion that adding more female characters to a show is always a good thing, and as I said before the backstory of the store is a sausage feast. So I began creating all these female lore characters, who more often than not also had a robot monkey friend. Then I began pruning them down as I grew up and my ideas matured, as well as incorporating stuff from season four. As it is, Pheena is a mesh of aspects from about three or four old OC’s.

The main idea was that there is a lot of unknown when it comes to the backstory of the Monkey Team. Somehow it was foreseen that there would be a Chosen One. Somehow the Alchemist had to stick around long enough to complete the team despite how advance his transformation appeared in Golden Age. Somehow Shuggazoom stayed protected between the time of Captain Shuggazoom and the Monkey Team. Somehow the Skeleton King was kept at bay and away from Shuggazoom until season one. Somehow the monkeys went to asleep after Mandarin.

It is just easy to replace all those ‘somehows’ with ‘someone’, and thus Pheena.

Similarly, Flora originated from several robot monkey OC’s, several of whom were the robot monkey companions to the same characters Pheena originated from. I use to have alot of RM OC’s because...I actually thought there were going to be more monkeys in the show? That might sound weird, but between Sokko, Mandarin (remember, I thought he was a random unrelated monkey who went Krinkle on the team), and the Robo-Apes, middle-school Acara was sure that there would be more monkey side characters. I was so sure that Shuggazoom was just going to be this place where monkeys lived alongside the humans, with morere characters like Jinmay who had a monkey companion, but who wasn’t actually weren’t like evil. So Pheena and Flora are kind of an exploration of that girl and her monkey idea that Jinmay and Sokko presented and their human-monkey relationship acting as a foil to Chiro and the team’s (but especially with Antauri).  

And while Flora being a normal monkey came later, that further explores the idea of seeing how the robot monkeys would react to a regular monkey. As I mentioned before, she really fills in the role of bratty child that UltraForce!Chiro was suppose to be, as well as being something of a ‘little sister’ to the team’s dynamics. And when I was in fandom like Sonic the Hedgehog, Friendship is Magic, and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles I was floored by way fans used real world animal facts to enhance their stories, weaving in biology with fiction to make such interesting tales. I am a veterinary nurse, so seeing animal facts utilized is for anthros and cartoons animals always fascinated me. So Flora became a good way for me to try my hand at the same thing, integrating more real world monkey facts into the fan narrative I’m crafting. The Spottova twins are similar, being a way for me to utuizlie what I learned about cotton-top tamarins and family structures of monkeys. 

...and this is why I’m called a rambler XD 

AGGED BY: @sweetcircuits and @monkeyinaround! Thanks for the shoutout and sorry I took so long to respond!  TAGGING: Hm, who in the SRMTHFG! fandom hasn’t been tagged?

OH FUCK U GUYS SHOULD I BUY ALL THE KINDGOM HEARTS IN A ONCENESS???

Holy jesus i knew they did hd ps4 ports of the playstation games but they ALSO added all the final mix content that engkishspeaking fans never got during my childhood? And they ALSO remade chain of memories entireky in 3d with Very Animated Ice Dad?? And they ALSO remade BBS despite it not needing it nearly as much as the old games and thet ALSO remade friggin dream drop distance which came out on a goddamn current gen console?? Like they seriously just made a non portable version?? Now all the spinoffs are on the same console at last?? Why did you not just do this in the first place?? I mean the psp and 3ds games were basically ps2 equivelant graphics and disc space anyway...

Oh and fuckin ALLLLSOOOOO

Also the final mixes of all of those! Also a movie version of the plot of khux! And also Coded and Days, which is a really big shame cos Coded is indeed sparse enough on content to deserve it but Days was my FAVOURITE GAME and it sucks its the only one that didnt get remade! I mean its in the same spinoff category as bbs and com, its not a cheapo mess like coded. Nothing else in the series deserves to be shoved in the Coded bin, even khux at least has better plot even if the backtracking and lootbox shit makes it harder to get to it...

Anyway ALSO a random new sidestory with Aqua going thru like one dungeon or somethin?? I dunno?? Its like a glorified tech demo for kh3, its just 'hey fuckin look what we can do visually on a proper ps4 game' and wow how have i never fuckin heard of this it looks so pretty!! I mean i dont know if its even more than 5 hours or somethin but.. Pretty!! And apparantly you get unlockable costumes for her or somethin? I hope they keep that feature in kh3! Itd rock if it wasnt just the main character too, and we could dress up riku and kairi and goofy and donald and roxas and axel and every the friends :3 new secret to how they defeat xehanort: slap a bow on his damn head

ALSO ALSO

All of this is available in one big bundle pack for £90 which ALSO contains literally kh3. THIS IS HOW THEYRE HANDLING PREORDERS?? THATS SUCH A GOOD WAY TO HANDLE PREORDERS!! Get a discounted price on this new game but while youre waiting for it you get to enjoy an (also discounted) giant fuckin 300 hours memory lane compilation of every damn thing from the last 15 years in one beautiful updated package. Holy fuck its like they made this for ME SPECIFICALLY!this is the perfect way to get people back into the franchise who dropped off in The Great KH3 Wait cos they couldnt afford all the damn million portables needed to gather that Dank Lore. God fuckin hell it cost more than the price of this bundle just to play any one of those games individually on some stupid retro machine i bought exclusively for that one damn game. THAT PSP STILL ROTS IN MY KITCHEN CUPBOARD YO

So

So so so so so

Guys

Please give me permission to buy this

Or like please convince me not to waste my money if you think i'd waste my money??

I really just DONT KNOW! ive been out of the fandom for so long and my last experience was really hatting BBS and feeling horribly out of place as everyone else raved about it being the best thing ever. And i know NOTHING about what kh3 is gonna be or whether its even possible for me to get back into the fandom and like.. Care about it at all again. I just got fuckin fatigued with it and my teenage years were like me clinging on to the edge of a cliff by my fingernails begging everyone to believe me that Its Still Good, Honestly, Its Worth It while square enix is up there all LONG LIVE THE KING and they push me off. Into a stampede of PSPs. Somehow.

And then aaargh i know i literally only came back to the fandom because organization xiii fuckin eternally holds my heart in their lil grabby hands. It was indeed a good nostalgic moment remembering how i loved them! And getting a new appreciation for Vexen and being blown away by how much he should have been my favourite but i just never got to play COM as a kid and then when i played it as an adult all the way after bbs i ended up quitting before even getting to meet half the org cos this one stupid 'defeat 99 shadows jn 99 seconds' mission kicked my ass. I'M JUST NOT GOOD AT ACTION RPGS OKAY!

Aaaagh thats another Big Worry, yknow? Like asa kid i was Bad, as an adult i'm Barely Better , and as a both i never enjoyed beat em up thingies of any kind at all. And on top of that i was never big into disney, i never saw them as any sort of 'childhood magic' but just some naff cliche shit retelling public domain fairy tales in the safest way possible with a bunch of obnoxious celebrity cameos. Also lion king and snow white terrified me as a kid. Also i associated robin hood with my dead grandma. Also as a kid i couldnt appreciate good artistic ability or voiceacting, i was all about the story, yknow? And most of kh's adaptations are really rushed and barebones versions of an already shoddy story, without any of the visual splendor. ALSO i never saw any of the darker or more emotionally focused stuff like Hunchback and Beauty and the Beast until way after i quit playing kingdom hearts, oddly enough. Wtf beauty and thebeast is actually real good and looks so far beyond its time!! Wtf hunchback has my goddamn evil dad in it!! Why did i miss the only good didneys!! Why did snow white traumatize me and those didnt!!

ANYWAY the point im getting at is that im not inherantly predisposed to like.. Any of kingdom hearts's appeal at all. I didnt know half the disneys and i didnt have any hype for the others. None of my fave final fantasy games made it into it until the sequel and then never again after that. CMON I CANT JUST DEAL WITH ONE VIVI CAMEO Y'ALL! And i haaaate the genre and its an uphill struggle to play a game like that with my stupid inelegant sausage hands. So i just came for the story and then everything after the first game has been conspiring to ruin it for me, sheesh! I felt so much for that short concise self contained first episode and then i fall more and more out of love as they establish this status quo of everything being retconnable so dont bother get attatched to it. Blablabla the entire worldbuilding is different now and everyone was secretly someone else and please memorize a bunch of shit from fifty fuckin spinoffs and also time travel and cloning suddenly exist and ALSO Grandpa Onlyblackmanintheworld is generic motiveless evil and everything was him even of it looked like it was actually a sympathetic villain. *insert dio meme face*

So yeah now im just.. In it for the characters?? And the cute art style and monsters and lovely animations and big fanfic oc potentials stuff. But man even tho i had Big Feel for those things i was able to completely drop it all and forget about the series for years, that was just HOW BAD the kh3 drought was. Steven universe hiatus eat your heart out...

So ffff i dont even KNOW if i'll be able to get feels'd for these characters again or if they actually hold up to modern bunni standards of huggable. And i know all the ones i want to hug the most got like zero sympathy and all died horribly and were also retroactively revealed to be clone oldmanvirus somethingy and aaaaaagh. But also something something people say they all came back and got cured?? And this is why?? I am here?? Again?? And buying?? The thing??

Like man fuck i am already building it up so much in my head aaaa what if i dont actually love axel as much as i used to love axel and i dont love Grumply Science as much as i always love That Character Archetype seriously MAN how was he like THE ONLY ONE I DIDNT GET TO SEE AS A KID

Aaauuuuaggh gahhh like maybe this will reignite my passion for the series or maybe i'll just be all critical and dumb and waste all my moneys

Guys... What do??
