A Quick Guide to Damian’s Furry/Feathered/Scaled Companions
LEFT: R:SOB #1 Cover RIGHT: R:SOB #6
GOLIATH THE BAT DRAGON
Introduced in: ROBIN: SON OF BATMAN (2015) #1
DAMIAN'S BABY AND BEASTY BESTIE!! On a mission during the Year of Blood, Damian kills the family of bat dragons guarding his objective. Goliath, despite being the youngest and last of his kind, forgives Damian. Goliath goes on to become one of Damian's most loyal companions, even featuring beside him in Batman Beyond (2016) #10, #11, #43-#47!
LEFT: B&R #13 RIGHT: B&R #4
TITUS THE DOG
Introduced in: BATMAN AND ROBIN (2011) #2
A Great Dane gifted to Damian from Bruce as an effort in fatherhood. Funny enough, Damian finds him a nuisance at first and briefly refers to him as "Dog". Titus is a good boy that follows Damian's every step, even joining Bruce on his mission to resurrect Damian!
LEFT: Batman Inc #1 RIGHT: Batman Inc #7
BAT-COW THE COW
Introduced in: BATMAN INCORPORATED (2012) #1
Bat-Cow, branded with a star signifying which cattle were contaminated, was saved from a slaughterhouse to run some tests (which they do find of a mind control variety). Damian declares himself a vegetarian, and calls her Bat-Cow! She also sorta has a running gag of literally standing in the face of danger to save the day.
LEFT: Batman Inc #6 RIGHT: Batman Inc #7
ALFRED THE CAT
Introduced in: BATMAN INCORPORATED (2012) #6
Considered a "hopeless case" by the animal shelter, Alfred gifts him to Damian. The cat is a bold lil guy, which Damian takes an immediate liking to, and names him Alfred (likely because tuxedo cat = butler lol). After hours of chicken, playtime, and scratches, Damian and Alfred become friends! He makes his first appearance alongside Damian’s first appearance as Batman in BATMAN (1940) #666
LEFT: Batman: Li'l Gotham #2/#1 RIGHT: Batman: Li'l Gotham #23/#12
*JERRY THE TURKEY
Introduced in: BATMAN LI'L GOTHAM (2012) #2 (Digital) #1 (Printed)
The Penguin unleashes an army of turkeys at the Gotham Thanksgiving parade which Damian turns into his own li'l turkey march by playing the trumpet. He ends up bringing one of them back for Thanksgiving dinner (as a friend), and Jerry becomes a fairly regular appearance in the world of Li'l Gotham!
*WIGGLES THE DRAGON
Introduced in: NIGHTWING (2016) #42
A sort of filler issue where Damian has been kidnapped for his blood by the "Crimson Kabuki" in Tokyo, and Dick goes through a series of boss battles to save him. The dragon's blood has been the group's main source of power, so it ends up teaming with the duo, and returns home with them.
Wiggles was originally named by a fan, "Shanootnoot" on Twitter!
*Goliath, Titus, Bat-Cow, and Alfred the cat have been Damian's main canon cast of furry companions, but SUPER-PETS SPECIAL: BITEDENTITY CRISIS (2024) may have just added Jerry and Wiggles!!
#UPDATED!! I FORGOT TO ADD THAT ALFRED THE CAT MADE HIS VERY FIRST DEBUT IN BATMAN 666#Batman Inc was his first intro to canon timeline but he makes regular appearances alongside Batman!Damian#made this in honor of that special because I'M STILL SO?? AGGH??#every one of them has a sweet story connecting them to Damian!! they love him!! they've fought at his side and for him!!#Damian's done the same!! he loves them!! they all love each other!!#i expected this comic to be heeheehaha NOT THIS I'M IN SHAMBLES#Damian has been away from them for so long so this does make sense but also. OOGH#i think my biggest complaint would be Goliath being sent off to a refuge bc Goliath's been a free ranger for a while#he is his own bat dragon since critically acclaimed comic Robin: Son of Batman (2015)#anyway ofc i had to add that RSOB page for Goliath PURE CINEMA#ALSO the Batman Beyond issues because their bond makes me so emo in there 😭#i still can't believe Jerry's probably been made canon only to immediately go through a traumatic experience WELCOME TO CANON COMICS JERRY#damian wayne#goliath#titus#batcow#alfred the cat#jerry#wiggles the dragon

"chilchuck isn't a twink, he's a DILF!" now i get why you're saying that but i feel like you've maybe forgotten what chilchuck tims canonically looks like
i'm sorry but this man is a twink. also DILF isn't a body type it's a status (and technically, an opinion) so he can be both
"but he's middle-aged!" look at him. look with your eyeballs. his age has nothing to do with the fact that he Looks Like That. he's a twink. the sooner you accept this the less angry his fandom will make you
edit bc this post has become the bane of my existence:
FAQ
Q: wtf do you mean he's a dad? he looks like a kid. A: he is 29 years old, and a half-foot. half-foots are dungeon meshi's halflings, or hobbits, or whatever you want to call them.
Q: wait, if he's 29, why the fuck are you calling him middle-aged? A: half-foots have an average lifespan of 50 years. chilchuck was originally drawn with grey hairs (you can see that in the manga fullbody) but the mangaka gave up on that over time. he's middle-aged for his race.
Q: hey, doesn't that look like a little angry face on his boot in the manga drawing? A: yea kinda
#as a proud member of the chilfucker fandom i think we should all accept his canon appearance even if we draw him way different#if you can only love him if he looks like a hobbit do you really love him at all?#by all means draw and think of him however sparks joy for you. but this is who he is in the manga and anime and you need to accept that#i love all chilchucks but i just love him in general. ideal man#chilchuck tims#tox.txt#edits made because the tags on this post are my villain origin story#i have now muted notifs!

What happens to this empty place, waiting for my arrival...
Rook in my heart. You can read the monster list here @lustlovehart
[Alt under the cut]
This is the original version but God, I don’t see anything else and I didn’t want others to get hurt watching
Now here I put my thoughts as I drew him:
I think our beautiful creature doesn't really have a human anatomy, his limbs are long and with very little muscle covering. Their bones could click together if it fully manifested. Claws replacing part of the bony fingers and nails. You could feel the long ribs behind that thick sack
He doesn’t need beyond his big and cool gothic sack to cover his abnormal appearance, after all the is no more shadows and fog for everyone’s eyes
The darkness consumes you from the pores, in each puff of lungs, you could become one with him and he would be delighted
I feel that it is detached from all worldly, but I would keep a thing or two of those who most appreciate... like the feathers of Neige or a brooch of Vil
#You’re right that it’s not scary at first#but they should be#It would be fun if I was in the body of hunters with an rando identity and no one has discovered it yet. Silly but fun#The boggie man is not very known in my culture so I could not find stories or illustrations about it#only film references that only makes me think of that entity that hides in the cracks of the walls#Also imagine him with a very very dead color of skin and strives to make colors for his beloved reader feel comfortable#He is in my creepy top since not only his disturbing appearance very different from the other guys#I have no idea what he will be thinking#twst fanart#rook hunt#rook hunt x reader#twisted wonderland rook#twisted wonderland#twst#twisted wonderland x reader#twst headcanons#art#honneydraws ⊹⃬۫🍜̸᩠໋࣪꣹۫

redesigning my headcanon for Sebek's parents, based on important new information (SCALES)
(you can't see it but they're both wearing crocs)
#art#twisted wonderland#twisted wonderland spoilers#twisted wonderland episode 7 spoilers#twisted wonderland book 7 spoilers#they are truly the most inspiring love story of our generation#though i guess he's not dr. zigvolt since zigvolt is the clan name...#unless he took her name which i absolutely could see. why would you ever not want to be called zigvolt.#this does tie nicely in with my headcanon that sebek's siblings got more of the fae features than he did#and he has a Complex about it#i get the impression that sebek's siblings are much closer in age to each other and also have more of their dad's chill#so sebek is sort of the baby of the family and he's got a Complex about that too#i think a lot about the zigvolt family for characters who have never actually appeared#on the subject of actual canon though#i do actually really appreciate that both sebek and silver each had a little moment of reassuring each other#that this is 400 years ago and also incredibly unfortunate circumstances#and present-day reality lilia and baul love them very much#(i do think sebek is secretly baul's favorite grandkid)#it was just nice to see! especially from sebek! he is sometimes a very thoughtful boy and it's always nice to see that side of him#sebek trying SO hard to get baul to like him though 😭#and lilia being like 'aw i think you're getting kind of fond of him :)'#i love.

Tim has found his soulmate (not a soulmate AU, just in the like “i think we’re totally meant to be together” way). Well, okay, it’s entirely one-sided so far, but he’s sure SpecterNova will reciprocate once they’re in proper contact.
He’s already found everything he publicly can on the youtuber, but he’s still digging deeper. It’s weirdly difficult—his love must like his privacy!—but he’s making headway.
On the other end, Danny is getting nervous about the dedication of his new internet stalker. Even with Tucker’s help in setting up his online security and the scrambling effects of ectoplasm, they can tell that the person is still making progress. They don’t seem like they’re a part of the GIW, but that doesn’t mean their search can’t harm him in some other way.
He really hopes he doesn’t have to change identities again. Having to do it the first time to flee the GIW was bad enough, and he’s been liking his current life.
#ONE SIDED dead tired ship#one sided love#tim is suffering from a major parasocial relationship thing#i like tim but he’s getting thrown under the bus here#because i want to see more stories that condemn/portray negatively the stalker-y stuff that appears in a lot of batfam-x-other-person fics#and he seemed like a viable choice for internet obsessiveness#dp x dc#dc x dp#dpxdc#dcxdp#danny phantom x dc#danny phantom x dc crossover#youtuber danny fenton#or could be#streamer danny fenton#but i think the youtuber route makes more sense#because like it’d give him more room for privacy to keep off the GIW’s radar

Gaslight, Gatekeep, Girl found dead in a hidden room.
[First] Prev <–-> Next
#poorly drawn mdzs#mdzs#lan xichen#jin guangyao#jiang cheng#wei wuxian#qin su#EDIT: Tumblr published an earlier draft with only half the notes I wrote so: late entry on my JGY thoughts.#Unlike the mystic powers of the stockmarket (what the OG meme is referring to) I think this situation calls for more active investigation.#qin su is such a deeply tragic character to me and I really wish we got a bit more from her.#Love everyone who sent me messages about her after the last time she appeared.#I think she needs a spin off of her being a transmigrator SO badly.#MDZS has so many interesting characters - but it sometimes fails to give them the proper room to really develop past a role in the plot.#That's just the consequence of writing a story like MDZS. Not every character in a book *needs* to have a rich inner life and backstory!#To do so would bog down the story and obliterate any notion of pacing. It's just not possible.#Jin Guangyao (nee Meng Yao) is unfortunately not free from this leeway rule. He is the culprit of this murder mystery plot#and thus NEEDS to encapsulate the themes of the book. And personally he's a 7 out of 10 at best on this front (in the AD).#MDZS is about rumours twisting reality and working towards truth. And about how people & situations are rarely ever black & white#JGY has his motivations. He's well written in regards to his actions making sense for his character.#What started as good traits (drive to succeed & improve his image) became twisted over time (do anything to maintain his image)#and it's a good parallel to WWX! He has the same arc (with different traits)! Bonus points for IGY in that regard.#but man....by the time we confront this guy for murder there's not a lot of grey morality. He's just...deep in the hole *he* dug.#There's a beautiful tragedy to it! More on JGY in later comics - this is getting pretty long already!

and are you really okay? are you really okay?
#cw for sh mention in song ! i removed that part in this !#narilamb#cotl#cult of the lamb#cotl narinder#eye strain#blood cw#not 100% happy but couldn't keep picking lmao#song is#are you really okay by sleep token#anyway there is some story to this. but first and foremost i think lamb probably breaks down often over the fact they're the Last sheep and#their whole race was killed. it's fucked up#anyway the small detail is that in ~my version~ narinder is very passive aggressive where he can be. like wearing white robes so#his bleeding (he has lacerations that appear even as an ex god) is always staining them. as a fuck you to lamb because he refuses to#wear red/darker colours like the rest of the cult#but over time his robes do get slightly darker. until say there's a night where he does find lamb fixating on blood/their species being#completely culled. and he silently makes the choice to wear much darker robes And stuff underneath so his Ooze doesn't show as much#:3#cotl fanart#cult of the lamb fanart#cotl toww

i saw a thirst trap of carlisle cullen last night and i immediately thought about a steddie twilight au but where eddie falls for steve, the patriarch of that weird-ass foster family that just moved to town at the start of eddie's third go at senior year (he moved to hawkins to stay with his uncle and try this last time to graduate after people in his home town keep only thinking of his now convict dad whenever they see eddie. maybe now he can actually graduate without all the teachers holding a grudge).
steve, or Dr. Harrington to the folks of Hawkins, who studied medicine to help people after he was attacked in his early 20s by an actual vampire his father was trying to hunt down after it killed steve's mother
steve, who forced himself to feed on animals, to not take a single breath when he went to his best friend robin's home after being changed to tell her goodbye
steve, who winds up changing robin too (accidentally biting her? he comes back not a year later and robin's sick? idk)
steve, who just kept collecting kids by accident when he'd find them on the brink of death, all throughout his long life.
steve and robin, who are now professionals at pretending to be married (and have been officially platonically married loads of times at this point).
eddie, who skids his car roughly into chrissy cunningham's in the school parking lot after they've just come back from winter break and they both end up bonding over the ride in the ambulance/long wait in the hospital
chrissy, who immediately clocks eddie's reaction to Dr. Harrington as soon as he walks in the room and relentlessly (lovingly) torments him about it from then on.
something something eddie falls for steve the otherworldly being and steve who falls just as hard for this entirely breakable human
classic miscommunications about "He's married!", "He's still totally into you though.." and "Oh my god he thinks I'm married...That's why he's not flirting back!", "And why did it take you so long to realize this?"
dr. harrington's meddling kids (who somehow look just like steve even though they're fosters??? ("They're vampires Chris, they've got to be.")) trying to push eddie on their 'dad' and eddie's 'robin' chrissy on their robin...
idk idk i just can't help but think about a twilight au now lmao
#steddie#steve harrington#eddie munson#robin buckley#chrissy cunningham#buckingham#twilight au#twilight#the party#stranger things#the twilight saga#in my head i think mike is the edward stand in (ironically)#he's the one that's all bitter about not being a cool kind of vampire/monster#maybe he's the 'youngest' changed and was around for the popularity of vamp/dracula stories and is pissed he is one - but not a cool one#it's so cringe that the cullens are all /together/ too in twilight canon but also like... that fits with the party's relationships too?#if we're talking one to one au#idk#lumax byler and henderhop#and they're all at least 18 when they were changed but do the thing about trying to appear younger to stay in one place longer

yall ever think Shen Yuan went through like, internet withdrawal after being transmigrated into Shen Qingqiu? Like, he's canonically a NEET shut-in who did nothing but spend his time online, you can't tell me that for the first week or first few weeks of being SQQ he wasn't twitchy.
Like, reaching instinctively to his pockets for a phone that wasn't there, having an obsessive itch in the back of his mind that he should check and see if X or Y novel or webcomic has updated -- only to realize he can't anymore and being irritated by it. Wanting to go and see if there's new posts about this or that, but again realizing that he can't.
When he's bored or uncomfortable or just feels like wanting to escape he tries to go for his phone to distract himself, but oops! Not there anymore, and now he has to find a new and different way to distract himself from his feelings. And going through system notifications, quests, etc only does so much.
And there's that Tetris Effect too. SQQ makes a mistake while writing and instinctively goes to backspace on it except hey-ho that's not a keyboard and now he just dipped his pinkie into a bottle of ink or on a still-drying letter.
With him scrambling to fix his reputation and learn how to be a peak lord, I think his abrupt cold-turkey from all things internet would just be another straw on the camel's back that he promptly Ignores until it goes away on its own after he acclimates to his new surroundings.
#svsss#mxtx svsss#scum villain#scum villian self saving system#shen yuan#shen qingqiu#i think him learning how to be a peak lord and cultivation and everything else would help distract him from the internet withdrawal for the#most part. but the moment there's a lull in the day and his mind wanders or he becomes bored or stressed and he instinctively reaches back#for his phone and realizes it isn't there it just sends a spike of panic/frustration/irritation through him because its a familiar comfort#and now its gone. like this is all based off my own experiences from being Chronically Online but i just think its neat to think about#in that same vein i think it also pushes him into getting into the arts on QJP. Like as the peak lord naturally he would be doing this kind#of stuff but hes NOT the peak lord but to keep up appearances he has to know how to do this stuff. and finds it??? actually quite rewarding#even more than getting into an argument online or getting a new merch item. he's making or doing this stuff. he starts drawing and finishes#a piece and regardless of its skill level he feels something unclog in his chest. like sediment being scraped off the bottom of a creek and#being washed downstream. a weight that's been slogging through his veins suddenly untangled. physical proof of his efforts that feels great#starry is incapable of NOT giving her favorite blorbos more hobbies. starry is incapable of not giving her favorites artsy hobbies#this is probably NOT a new or original thought whatsoever but im throwing it out there anyways bc it fascinates me. i love transmigration#and albeit i've only read isekai manhwa/manhua there's a common theme of the people there assimilating into their new lives relatively quic#which i know is for ease of transition and getting to the rest of the story. but WHAT IF.#i have still not read svsss yet and idk when i'll be able to BUT have some thoughts anyways

Spar, Alpha-Ø2, Mand’alor the Resurrector.
My take on this super fascinating if somewhat obscure character from Legends! A clone with Jango Fett’s memories, who escaped Kamino to become leader of a faction of Mandalorians.
I’ve been exploring him a lot in my fic, the Prime Override, and I wanted to give him a shot visually. His appearance here is specific to my fic, where his story diverges considerably from Legends, so there are a couple of details that don’t match that of any of the three official illustrations that exist of him. But the changes are intentional! I still hope he’s recognizable 😅
~~
PLEASE DO NOT REUPLOAD, EDIT, TRANSLATE, OR OTHERWISE USE MY ART. To share, please reblog! Reblogs and comments greatly appreciated!!!
❀ You can see the rest of my art through the Masterpost pinned to the top of my blog!
#YukiPri art#Spar#clone trooper#star wars legends#artists on tumblr#mandalorian#mand'alor#alpha clone trooper#mand'alor the resurrector#thePrimeOverride#eyyy actual new art for once#as of Book 1 of Override/the early war era I've stated in the fic that his armor paint is green & blue#this green & red & gold is more true to his Legends appearance and there'll be an event later on in the fic#where he repaints his armor so that this is his primary final look#Anyway even tho some of his official arts kinda just make him look like a Boba knock off#I tried really REALLY hard to make sure he looks distinct and unique#he and his story deserve it!!

The fact that Geeta Patel doesn’t know that F&B heavily implies that Elissa Farman took the eggs that would come to Daenerys’ hands and that Rhaena carries three eggs to the Vale, with one of them hatching to a dragon, thus leaving only two, and that GRRM made this decision purposefully, so that we know that Daenerys’ eggs don’t come from Rhaena, is disconcerting.
I’m starting to believe that the writers/producers/directors/showrunners have either never read Fire & Blood, or lack basic-level critical thinking skills.
#those eggs couldn’t have been the ones Daenerys got and GRRM told us that#but what’s the book anyway am I right?#I swear all those people in charge of creative decisions look at GRRM’s work with envy#why would you change what he wrote#it literally has a purpose#but they wanna make the difference somehow and appear smarter#just shut up you know nothing about the story and it shows#hotd critical#anti geeta patel#hotd writers#anti ryan condal#helaena targaryen#dreamfyre#hotd season 2#hotd#house of the dragon#hotd s2#house of the dragon season 2#greenqueenhightower#fire and blood#f&b#anti hotd

Emmrich Volkarin finds you trailing fingertips along the spines of old books filling his massive, overflowing shelves. It wasn't a surprise, really, not when the world had grown quiet, granting you all a moment of well craved respite in a life grown oh, so chaotic in such a short amount of time.
He sees you pause, lean closer to inspect a title. You linger on it for a moment longer and, before you're able to move past it to another volume, Emmrich moves with quiet, sweeping steps that end once he's behind you. He relishes your moment of surprise as arms slide around your waist, pulling you backwards ever so gently. Instead of perusing his collection for another book to steal, you're now, quite comfortably, nestled in a trap of his own making.
The little laugh falling through your lips stirs something warm in his chest, the shadows of the room cowering farther into their corners when faced with the brightness of your spirit. It's one of his favorite things about you. How you're your own sun, even when you feel dark like the new moon. He smiles, presses a soft kiss to your crown.
Hello to you too. The words are quiet, once your laughter subsides. It takes only a breath for your body to relax in his arms, leaning back to return his kiss in kind. The softness of your lips along his jawline has him relaxing into you, just not enough to let you fall.
"I knew I'd find you here," he hums. "You weren't otherwise occupying your favorite nooks around our dear Lighthouse."
"Oh please," you correct. Your voice has taken on such a tender quality, something ardent and adoring you seem to save only for the safest moments. The sweetest ones. Ones when the quiet settles in and takes hold among the madness grasping at the fabric of your upended lives. "I never want to be anywhere other than with you."
The admission knocks him off kilter for a moment. Then another. He's silent, holding you close as it sinks in and fuses loving and languid among the marrow of his bones. As the implication settles deep among his lifeblood, flowing smooth and free among his veins. It's fitting, almost, since he had not yet dare admit his heart had begun beating for you, in these last months.
Finally, Emmrich thinks, heart warm and beating softly against your spine. Perhaps he's found a home with you after all - his paramour, his darling, his Rook.
#emmrich volkarin#Emmrich volkarin x rook#emmrich x rook#dragon age#dragon age the veilguard#datv#da4#I'm still playing around with finding his voice fully BUT#I read the story he briefly appears in during tevinter nights and am FERAL#anyway#kas writes

People always rank either Ei or Zhongli (or both) above Venti in power rankings. Like, who is the strongest archon? There are always two answers: Morax or Beelzebul. Never Barbatos.
I like to think otherwise.
This guy has cut mountains with his winds and thrown them so far away into the sea, made winter disappear and turned Mond into what it is today: from a barren rocky land that used to be filled with snow and raging blizzards into this green plain field with gentle winds where agriculture is so much easier then it ever was back then. I don't think people of Old Mond could have ever imagined for Mond to turn into what it is today.
But he still calls himself weak. And people took that to face value. And some still do despite it being proven otherwise by Nahida.
Venti said that an archon derives their power from ruling over their nation. But Nahida denies this later and says that archons gain their power through the faith of the people.
Clearly, Venti lied to us.
And if we go by what Nahida said,,,, Every freakin person in Mond has faith in the Anemo archon. They sing praises of him despite not having been in the presence of their god for 5 centuries. He has a statue and a Cathedral (who else has that?).
So, Venti is Strong.
Remember his gnosis is in the shape of a queen chess piece? Queen has the most freedom on the board. Venti's ideals are freedom. And his element is anemo. Anemo is the free-est element out there.
He might as well suck the air out of your lungs if he so wants to. He governs over it.
My point is, Venti is overpowered.
And let's not forget how that little wind wisp gained archon hood.
It was his desire to protect that helped him into becoming a god. When the nameless bard died, he felt the need to protect whats left. To protect what his friend died fighting for.
And its a pretty cliche concept out their about how a hero grows stronger, in any story. Its their need to protect. Right?
And Venti still wants to protect Mond- despite him saying otherwise. He shows up everytime Mond is in danger. Whether directly or indirectly, he always helps out.
So here is what I think. The reason why he calls himself weak.
Its because he is so strong, strong enough to scare Celestia. So Celestia has put him on some sort of leash. He can't use his powers in it's entirety. There is probably some sort of seal.
So Venti is weak.
Because he can't use all of his powers. Because he is chained to Celestia's whim.
Venti is weakest of the seven because he is the only one who has some sort of leash on him.
The god of freedom, chained.
Plus, it can definitely not be a coincidence that the defiled statue was of Barbatos, out of all the seven. Chained, hanging up-side down and corrupted.
And the fact that the abyss order was going to use Barbatos (chained) statue to create a machine to "topple the divine thrones of Celestia."
None of that can be a coincidence. Knowing hoyoverse, it definitely isn't.
So yeah. Venti is definitely not weak. He just can't use the full extent of his powers as of right now.
Venti is strong, but also weak. If he isn't chained- he is easily the strongest.
He can slice the mountains and throw them far into sea- if Zhongli throws a big peice of meteor on him, venti should be able to cut it in half too. if he has all his power on him that is.
I really hate it when people call him weak just because he said so himself. Especially when it's been proven that we shouldn't take his words to face value.
He is not like our sweet little Nahida, people.
#also#i feel like we are going to see something about this in his second story quest#there is *always* lore drops when he appears.#however big or small#venti#barbatos#genshin barbatos#genshin venti#character analysis#genshin impact venti#genshin analysis#genshin impact lore#genshin impact#archon venti

#kingdom hearts 358/2 days#kh days#anti-saix#the world that never was#my gif#for those who are unfamiliar-#when escaping from the castle near the end of the game saix will block your way and you have to defeat him#but if you replay it on mission mode he'll instead appear as anti-saix#his moveset is the same. the only difference is that he has no voice lines and will attack in silence much like any other nobody/heartless#there are no story reasons or implications for this it's just a cool reskin#also saix is playable in mission mode and you'd need to be able to tell them apart#there's another character in this game that has an anti form as well but that'll be tomorrow's gif
