ienzo/riku fanfic revamp

[paigeyssims2004]

Okay, so I made these around two to three years ago, and I was very proud of how they turned out (I still am), so I decided to share them here.

BONUS:

oh my god his reaction when he thought riku showed up to finish him off is so fucking funny esp when he realizes its replica riku (who is actually about to finish him off)

hello kingdom hearts fans. thinking about lauriam/marluxia and i cannot sleep. have some school doodles that were not lost in the purge

one thing i love about kh 'family tree' diagrams is it rlly drives home how little of the confusing 'who is who and there's two copies of this guy' stuff is related to family, which is i feel where a lot of that stuff comes from in other stories. you don't have a long lost dad, you've been possessed by this old guy. oops! there's no family legacy but you ARE a clone so gl with that! bbs eraqus situation obviously exists but even then it's not blood ties. the fact that blood ties almost universally mean fuck all is actually rlly endearing to me

The Beach

What I love most about the beach party at the end of KH3 is the fact that not only is everyone finally happy and having fun after so much hardship, but no-one is sticking rigidly to their previously defined friendship groups. Not only can that limit personal growth to define someone by their relationship with one or two people (especially notable for the trios), but it is also something that has hurt many of these characters in the past. Riku and Isa felt cut out and replaced when their friend joined a trio they were excluded from. The wayfinders had a limited perspective on life due to growing up in isolation and being raised and trained to be keyblade wielders under rigid dogmatic beliefs.

Here, there is none of that. Instead, people are branching out from their original friendship groups, expanding their horizons and building other connections on their own terms that they can grow and learn from.

Riku sees Terra again, is on friendlier terms with Roxas, and the three have a race together.

Xion and Naminé get to interact under much better circumstances and collect seashells.

Lea, Isa and Ven have fun together playing with Lea's frisbees after over a decade.

Before, they were a collection of friendship groups who were mostly personally concerned for the other members of their group and for the greater good, united only by the goal to defeat a common enemy.

Now they are a community.

I hope we get to see more unorthodox friendships in this big cast of characters, especially for characters like Aqua, Terra, Naminé, Isa and Ienzo who don't really have many friends and would likely have difficulty making them (especially Naminé, Isa and Ienzo). It would do them in particular a lot of good to expand their social circles. Just like how it was important for Riku to have friends besides Sora and found one with Mickey, or how its important for Roxas and Xion to have friends more their own age like Hayner, Pence and Olette.

Riku to Ienzo: No babe, you’re still cute, it’s just the way you were watching that serial killer documentary and said you wouldn’t get caught that scared me.

in honor of mermay I drew riku as one of them fricked up deep sea creachers

[kitkat-the-muffin]

JUST BEFORE THE END OF MERMAY I RETURN WITH A FINISHED COLLAB!!!!

Sketch, lineart, and character design by @420penisdelirious69

Background, flat colors, and shading by @kitkat-the-muffin (me)

[Click for higher quality]

This is the context for when my friend asked me to color all my favorite characters drowning

He told me this AU has more stuff to it and that it’s a Sorikai Little Mermaid AU where Riku is kind of sort of Ursula but all three of them end up together in the end

Anyway I just think this is SO CUTE and I put a lot of effort into the background and stuff so I hope ya’ll like it too

Alternate versions below the read-more!

He called this the “censored version” lmbo

The following two are the same but without the top layers, so the colors pop out more

Please do NOT repost anywhere. We barely trust Tumblr to not convert our collabs into AI and we do NOT trust any other site at all
