#i'm very flattered that you like my analyses enough to ask me my thoughts on this!

[kingmagnificoofrosas]

ive been thinking lately...

your analysis is so good and powerful, that it can actually be a very interesting YouTube video. more than one even. 🫣

it's just... Tumblr is a nice comfortable place, i love Tumblr so much, but also i want more people to know and hear you. what do you think about this idea? theoretically by now, of course

Hey dear 💙

Oh my goodness 😳 wow! I'm beyond flattered that you think so highly of my analyses!!

Especially because tumblr can be such a safe place is why I'm here. While, yes, youtube could potentially be a way to have more people hear me, it's also not really a safe place. I see how haters behave in the comments and I don't think I want to put up with that rn. Of course you could ignore or enable the comments but that's not my goal.

I'm already so unbelievably glad and grateful for all the support and love you guys give me, and through this, more people will eventually come by. It hasn't been my goal to get as many followers as possible to begin with. When I first came around I thought, "If at least 1 person hears and agrees with me, I'd be happy enough!" And now we are constantly growing! Us Magnifico defenders ⚔️🛡💙

Every one of you is precious! And I'm saying THANK YOU! Once more to every one of you, who sticks around here 💕 Without you guys, my blog wouldn't be what it is now and what it's becoming. I cannot even find the right words to describe how much I appreciate each nice comment, message, ask, like or reblog. You guys are the stars on this sky, it glows because you show up!

Quil! Hello! I've been on here for a little while but we haven't interacted much so I thought I'd drop in and say hi :)

I'm Gail, and your blog was one of the ones that convinced me to join Tumblr! I love your analyses and fanfiction, and on that note, I'm going to read the Wings AU soon :D I've always wanted to but never had much time, so I'm going to start tackling that monster fic when I have a four-day weekend coming up!

Hope you're having a great day :)

Gail! Hello! It's lovely to properly meet you; we've crossed paths via shared circles (and I mainly associate you as a fellow classmate of Professor Spit, the heart!), but now I can say hi directly!

This isn't the first time I've heard someone say they joined in part because of me or that they enjoyed my blog prior to joining, but it gets me every time like ah! That is so cool! I'm incredibly flattered that my presence and posting on this hellsite was enjoyable? amusing? enough that you wanted to be a part of the site/fandom! It's lovely to have you here!

Also!! If you read the wings au please feel free to ask me anything you'd like/talk to me about it as much as you want because I ADORE the wings au and am always look for an opportunity to talk about it!

I should read it, actually. It's second birthday is coming up and there are some chapters I haven't seen/read since I posted them. It'd be cool to go back (and correct my numerous grammar mistakes). You know, multiple people have said they want to read the au, maybe we should make a book club out of it.

But anyway! I hope you enjoy the wings au because I have put a lot of time, effort, and love into that monster of a fic :). Even if it's not to your taste, your enthusiasm is still very appreciated!

And I'm doing alright today! Finally getting out of a minor reading slump, got back the grades for first assignments from the semester (first ones are always nerve wracking because it's like. all these new instructions and a new instructor! did I do it right? how you wanted me to?) and got 100s! I hope you're doing well, too! And that your day is kind to you <3

Hi Liz have you seen the new addition to SR theory where they say that Kairi is a Chirity I would like to hear your thoughts on that because as soon as I saw the post it just gave me a migraine, tbh I think the whole SR theory is nothing more than a bunch of crap. I love hearing your opinion, anyway the whole theory is just trying to push parallels that I think are nothing more than just that. How Kairi became a chirity to help them cross the world line. I'm sorry it probably makes no sense.

I sure have! I know exactly what you’re getting at, don’t worry. I’ve got a few people who alert me of this kind of stuff when it happens so I’ve got stuff prepared already

The whole update is just full of cherry-picked moments, misrepresented facts, and conclusion jumping. And it’s short. So let’s get into why, exactly, it’s a terrible argument

The new post starts off with a recap of something covered in the theory document itself, namely how the KH3 Dive uses imagery from the KH1 intro, which they use in the document to claim that the light is Riku. Now, I already covered this in my debunk posts, but since making those, @qazawsxs2 has brought to my attention a little parallel that the theory writers conveniently leave out. Corroborating what I claimed about the Darksides near-universally representing Sora’s darkness, it turn out that the way the Darkside is introduced in KH3 is framed exactly the same way that it’s introduced in KH1 Dive, where it was unquestionably related to Sora’s darkness. They keep trying to push that the Darkside is related to Kairi through a non-perfect parallel to the KH1 opening, while ignoring what the Darkside is a perfect parallel to. Post proving this: here.

The writer of that post goes on to claim that they’re not saying that Kairi is the Darkside and like… I’m sorry, can you really blame anyone for thinking that’s what you were saying when all they did was apply the same logic you used to prove that the Light was Riku to the Darkside argument? The theory, in no uncertain terms, states that because that Light is where Riku was in the KH3 opening that it is Riku’s light guiding Sora. It’s not a stretch to come to the conclusion that you’re implying that the Darkside is Kairi when the document itself brings up the Riku = Light argument and the only transition to Kairi is:

“And who is it that greets Sora when he breaches the water? In KH3, we get [the Darkside]. In KH1 we get… Kairi.” (pg. 93)

Either the Light is Riku and the Darkside is Kairi, or the Light is only kind of related to Riku and the Darkside is only kind of related to Kairi. You cannot say that your argument applies to only one of those scenarios when you use the same argument to frame both

And again, all of the proposed explanations in the document for the Darkside/Kairi connection state that the Darkside is Kairi in some way:

“So, is this Kairi’s heart? Trapped in The Final World, the brink of death where they all were but a hop skip moment ago? Is she within a pseudo Heartless, like a guise? Is it a possible Xion situation by means of a forced fight to pay a supposed “price” for world hopping in an attempt to save her friends?” (pg. 97)

So, yes, they absolutely did claim that the Darkside was Kairi and now saying that all they were claiming is that there was a connection reeks of backpedaling. And that’s just the start of how disingenuous this post is

The post then goes on to point out the similarity between Sora waking up in The Final World and Sora waking up at the start of KH1. And, sure, I’ll give them that it might be an intentional parallel. It’s not as similar as the callbacks to the KH1 Intro and Darkside are since none of the camera angles are the same, but that absolutely could be an intentional animation parallel

Aaaaaand that’s about as far as the parallel actually goes! Here’s where the pretty blatant cherry-picking starts.

First off, the scenes of Sora waking up aren’t actually as similar as they claim. In KH1, it’s exactly as it is in that post: we see the sun shining, then we cut directly to Sora’s eyes fluttering open… he sits up, looks around, and then lays right back down, but jolts up when Kairi leans over him

In KH3, though, we see then sun shining (which is more zoomed-in than in KH1), and then we get a wide shot of The Final World with Sora’s spectral body. The camera does a closer pan of Sora’s spectral body so that we can see how messed up he is. Then his eyes flutter open when it reaches his face (more zoomed-out than in KH1). He sits up and looks around, using absolutely none of the same camera angles as in KH1 and with the camera using first-person shots way less (if at all, the only one I spotted might not have even been first-person given how The Final World is). Sora then struggles to his feet on his own, world title card appears, and then you get an entire damn walking around gameplay segment before Chirithy even shows up, descending from the sky

So you can already see that a certain theory writer just blatantly cherry-picked the three seconds that you could claim are even mildly similar while cutting out basically 95% of both scenes to try and force a parallel

They then go on to try and make a name parallel. Kairi contains the character “kai,” which is one of the alternate pronunciations for χ that Xehanort references, and they state that, yes, he uses the same character for the alternate pronunciation in Japanese as Kairi’s name does (while the English version subtitles it as “kye”). This could be intentional, yes. Kairi is one of the Seven Princesses of Heart, stated to hold the power necessary to forge the χ-Blade. But you know what they didn’t prove?

That the “chi” in “Chirithy” is related to the same symbol. Because while, yes, Chirithy does contain “chi,” which is how they subtitled the χ in Kingdom Hearts χ [chi], that’s a parallel that only exists in English, just like how the Kairi parallel only exists in Japanese. The “chi” in Chirithy is never pronounced like either of the given pronunciations of χ in either Japanese or English, and it doesn’t use the same characters as the KHχ title does in Japanese

They don’t even give any proof that the “chi” in Chirithy is supposed to stand for the χ. They can’t because if they did they’d have to acknowledge that it isn’t. The claim that both Kairi and Chirithy have the χ in their names only works if you’re relying on “common knowledge” that Chirithy’s name is derived from it, which there is absolutely no evidence of

Hyperbole has no place in an argument, so they shoot their own foot by stating that “THIS IS NOT NOTHING” in all caps about Kairi’s hood

And then they claim that Chirithy and Kairi share a symbol: the star. Technically false. Stars are a symbol of Light in KH. They have been since KH1 where the literal stars represented the light of the worlds. The past Keyblade wielders tasked with defending the Light were given Starlight Keyblades in KHχ, the BBS trio chats about it in the opening when they’re stargazing (which, btw, contains a more obvious parallel to Sora waking up in KH1 with Ven and Aqua than the Final World ever does), and most importantly:

A star-like symbol represents particles of Light in KHχ, called Lux

Which, by the way, is what Chirithy’s symbol actually is. It’s just an all-white Lux sigil. Which makes sense, since they’re supposed to help their wielders collect it

Kairi and Chirithy both have star-based sigils, but only because they’re both derived from Light. Kairi’s being because she’s a Princess with a heart of pure light, Chirithy because they’re intended to help their wielders collect fragments of it. Their symbols aren’t the same, but are simply derived from the same series-wide symbol. A symbol that specifically represents light

Also, they don’t even put any proof that Kairi’s symbol even is a star in that post. If you’re trying to prove a parallel, you’ve gotta put both versions in there. This is the second time it’s happened in that one post alone

And then they end on Sora telling Kairi in KH1 that he dreamed about a “huge, black THING” swallowing him up and then dying via Demon Tornado. Which, like… okay? What are you even trying to say? That because Sora dreamed about dying in the Darkness and saw Kairi, then actually died in the Darkness and saw Chirithy that it’s an intentional parallel? No. Those aren’t even the same Heartless, the scenes aren’t staged the same way, that’s not… that’s not even a parallel unless you stretch your definition of “parallel” like a taffy puller makes candy. It’s not even the first or only time Sora has been swallowed up by Darkness! If this is an intentional parallel, then they all are. Yes, even that time it happened because Maleficent was saving them in KH2. Kairi was secretly a box of ice cream all along. Good job, you figured out Kingdom Hearts

The only connection that Kairi and Chirithy have is that he tells Sora that Kairi’s  holding him together, and even then he doesn’t say her name

You say that the theory is trying to push parallels as something more than parallels, and while I agree, it’s way more than that. They’re misrepresenting canon to try and make parallels that fit their interpretation, parallels that don’t actually exist, and then use them as evidence while conveniently forgetting that while a parallel can hint towards something, it is not always proof in and of itself. That’s their big failing here. There’s a reason I called their evidence “forged” at one point

It’s because they made it all up

hey no pressure to answrr and idk if uve talked abt it before but I rly love what I've seen of your fashion style/your overall style. Can I ask if you have any tips for how you, kind of... curate your wardrobe and figure out what you need to create your looks? Like if you focus on sticking to a colour palette or certain silhouettes or? sorry again no pressure

Hi! Thank you very much, I'm glad you like my fashion sense! 💕 I would love to help you with some tips, although I don't want to force my personal style on anybody with my answers - please use them as a general guidance!

• Yes, it is important to me to stick to a silhouette and color palette when I'm looking for new clothes. Firstly, you need to know what kind of look you're going for and what colors you feel the best in. I'm very naturally drawn to burgundy, white, black and jewel tones, so I always check them first when I'm thrifting. You can also find a specific pattern for your looks - I love checkered skirts and floral dresses the most.

• As for the silhouette, my general 'vintage' look is a shirt or a blouse with covered arms, and a skirt that is tight in the waist and long enough to cover the knees. The pictures below show some variations of that look. I pretty much always stick to it because I find it to be the most comfortable and flattering. If you're going for a different look, try to experiment with silhouettes and see what looks best on you! For example, 20's had a completely different shape, but it's still very retro!

• To find your personal look, I recommend looking through a lot of inspiration pictures and references. I like the looks of 30's, 40's and 50's, so I follow blogs with Old Hollywood stars, watch movies from that era and save my favorite looks. A pinterest board or a special folder for all the inspiration should help a lot! After analysing many sources, you'll find items that fit this style a lot easier and you'll know how to style them.

• Find 'basics' for your wardrobe, a perfect item that will fit many styles and aesthetics. For me it's a simple white shirt, and a black skirt (midi lenght, tight in the waist). Plus simple cardigans, jackets and thights in different colors. You can make many outfits with a simple base like that and it will always look good.

• Accessories! I have so many pearls and pearl jewelry, and they don't have to be real to look good, so it's not a big purchase! I really recommend pearls, came jewelry, brooches, and gems to spice up the look. I also have a collection of thrifted scarves and cloths that I wear in my hair or on my head, and vintage leather bags that I take everywhere. I don't know a lot about shoes, but I wear oxfords / saddle shoes or mary janes.

• Even thought I don't always have the energy to set my hair in pin curls, I want to highlight that hair is really important to achieve a vintage look, and there are many ways to style them and add simple accessories to make them look polished. My personal favorite touches are adding lace, ribbons and flowers to the hairstyle, or tie them with a cute scarf.

Dead Eyes

Summary: After the archangel Michael from the apocalypse world possessed Dean, you've been searching him and you finally found where he hides. Against all the rational thoughts, you go alone just to be welcomed by two not so friendly werewolves, who bring you right in front of who you were looking for...

Pairings: Dean Winchester x reader

Other characters: Archangel Michael (AU World)

Warnings: ANGST!

Word count: 1k

<-•☆•->

The two werewolves shoved you in a room. Tripping inside, you looked around, carefully analysing the penthouse you were in. Then, as your eyes moved to the couch, you saw him, legs crossed and a glass of wine in his hand. His eyes, his hair, his body... but the prideful smirk on his face was enough to remind you that the man in front of you wasn't Dean Winchester.

"Oh, I know you..." Michael fixed his eyes on you, his empty gaze giving you chills. "You're Y/n, right? Dean's mind is full of your memories..."

You clenched your jaw and fists at his words. Just the thought of him seeing all of yours and Dean's memories, the moments you spend together, the happiness they brought with them, filled you with rage.

"Let him go." You hissed, earning just a laughter from the archangel.

"Why should I?" He placed down his glass and stood up, raising slightly his arms and watching down at his body. "It's very comfortable possessing the true vessel, my sword. Besides," He walked over a mirror, raising his chin as he looked at his reflection. "This look has nothing to throw away, don't you think?"

He was still smirking, and the desire to punch him, even tough hurting Dean's body, was high. "You, filthy..."

"Watch your words, buttercup..." He said, not even glancing at you while he was fixing his bowtie.

"Don't you dare call me like that!" You clenched you fists even more, your nails pressing painfully against your flesh but you didn't even feel it.

"Right, Dean's nickname for you... so sweet." His tone was calm, not at all scared or even worried. As he finished fixing that bowtie, which didn't need fixing in the first place, he turned to you. You couldn't help but shiver again. "Still, you should behave when you talk to me. You wouldn't like me when I'm angry."

Even scared you managed to snort at his words. "Then it wouldn't be a big change."

Michael rolled his eyes, taking few steps away from the mirror. "Do all hunters have such a sharp, annoying tongue or is just a Winchester's thing?"

"Flattered by the compliment, really, but I'm not a Winchester."

A smirk appeared on his face, one of those you only saw on monsters just before they attacked.

"Oh, you would've become one of them soon..." The words left you confused and Michael could sure tell it by your face because he kept going. "Your... boyfriend," he spilled that word as it felt like venom in his mouth. "He had been preparing for the big proposal..."

At his words, your eyes opened widely, shocked and in disbelief. You parted your lips, suddenly dry, to tell him that no, that was not possible. There was not one day that Dean hadn't told you he wasn't a marriage guy, and you had accepted it. What you already had was enough so there was no way...

"He wanted to take you to the lake where you two met and ask you there." Michael continued talking but his voice reached you muffled, like he was talking through water. "What a romantic... under all those layers of flannel hides a true gentleman."

"Shut up..." You whispered, your voice a mere breath. You blankly stared at the half empty glass on the coffee table as you noticed your sight was starting to blur. Fuck!

"And he had already been practising on his speech for quite some time." Michael was now closer, his words clearer but still muffled. And you felt by his tone that he was having fun, like never before probably. "Do you perhaps wanna hear it? He's not going to be able to say it anytime soon so..."

"Shut up!" You raised your fists to your temples, trying to think clearly as your breath shortened by the second. It couldn't be true, it couldn't. If it was... no, it simply wasn't. Your heart couldn't take any other option.

"You have no idea how much he's trying to break free right now. He's struggling like a bird in a cage whose wings will soon break."

You glared up at him, without caring about your teary eyes, and Michael was there, smirking as before, his eyes now lit by a flash of excitement.

"Dean will never give up."

"Indeed, but as I said, it'll be useless..." With a last smirk he headed towards the couch giving his back to you, reaching to the glass of wine. "Humans have the peculiar habit to persist stubbornly, even when the odds are all against them." Michael turned around, the wine smoothly moving in his glass. "Can't you see that I've already won?"

"You say that." You hissed, tears on the edge to roll down your cheeks.

"Exactly. I say that." You kept your gaze up as he did the same. A tear escaped your control and Michael snorted but you didn't even dare to move. You weren't scared but you knew that if you moved a single muscle, you would've lost all your self-control.

"Now what?" You asked, trying to steady your voice. "Are you going to kill me?"

"No, not yet." He looked down at the red drink. "But I'll sure keep you around, just to be certain that Dean behaves as he should if he still cares about you." He sat again on the couch and gestured with his hand to the werewolves who brought you to him.

They took your arms and started to drag you out of the room. You tried to fight against them but they were too strong for you. "No, wait! Dean!"

You glanced one more time to Michael, hoping again to see a glimpse of Dean in those dead eyes, but there was nothing different.

Michael raised his glass high towards you. "It's been a pleasure Y/n." As he started drinking the wine, you were out the room, tears now rolling with no control down your face.
