"One can banish the heart from the body, but the body will try to replace it the first chance it gets, for as many times as it takes."

this thing xemnas says in DDD always sounded like it was coming from personal exasperation or experience, like xemnas how do you know that? xemnas. how do you know th

Settling it for all. Does kh2 really have the chokehold on the fandom that everyone says it does, or is that just that we kh2 fanboys are annoying as fuck.

Choose your favorite kh game. This is not necessarily the one you've played the most - for example bbs was the first one I did the platinum trophy for so ATM it has the most hours played, but its not my favorite. Play time doesn't equal favorite, the one you like the best is the favorite. choose that.

Just two bros conducting a song entitled ‘Dearly Beloved’ because their hearts are in sync. Completely straight behavior. Bros being dudes. Nothing gay here.

been dream drop distancing

[errorx403]

bought the kh games on sale from humblebundlea in july, and I am replaying 3d. Those boys are so gay for each other, like:

Ex 1:

Sora: We don't need to do the Mark of Mastery exam, I've proved myself and Riku can handle anything

Riku: Actually, I feel like I don't deserve to be a Keyblade Wielder

Sora: Riku... Well then, I'm in

Sora being all like "Well, I have to mentally support my bf"

Also Sora: immediately loses him and shouts out for him like a dumbass

Ex 2:

Riku: I don't trust you

Joshua: I can help you find Sora

Riku: Here's all my info, including my social security number and my credit card

Riku, honey, you're as subtle as a brick to the face

This is just two hours in btw, like these two cannot handle being apart for 2 secs. I love my gay children

Funniest Iconic KH Lines Poll

(This is not comprehensive. It's 8 in the morning. Op is curious but tired.)

I think some of these also overlap with regularpat's worst kh lines bracket but I'm not 100% about that. I haven't gotten the chance to watch the vod yet.

Once again I'm having thoughts about the meta of Kingdom Hearts. While there are many ways to interpret this story, as it is in all stories, there is one way I personally love most: the angle of the journey of growing up. Or put in another way, understanding and accepting your child self. It is both, really. Depending on one's journey, one might resonate more than the other. And that is what makes KH so special. No matter how old you are, KH can resonate.

It is two angles that make a greater whole. Or in the case of the story, two characters that make a greater whole: Sora and Riku.

Riku is the adult side. From the beginning, Riku felt the responsibility to "protect what matters." It is that pressure, and the fear that he wasn't strong enough that pushed him forward toward darkness. Coupled with the jealousy of Sora's freedom, brought that antagonistic side out. Eventually of course, Riku found what he was looking for, and found his dawn.

Sora on the other hand, is the child side. Full of youthful exuberance, naivety, and openness, Sora always follows his heart. But along the way, each journey slowly changes him, even in ways he doesn't realize. He just keeps going, pushing, changing, much like a child would.

In the novelization of Dream Drop Distance, there are these lines as Sora is thinking about Quasimodo:

“He thought about what it really meant to let your heart be a prison and to let it live free. I can’t imagine how painful and sad it must be to go through life with your heart locked away. You can’t follow your heart and live the way you want.”

You could say, that was Riku's perspective. I've noted before, that in DDD, Riku's sound idea plays Dearly Beloved from the get go. Whereas for Sora it doesn't until Riku's sound idea joins his. In other words, Riku has already begun to connect with his child side. While Sora, still has no idea what is going on, let alone connect with his adult side.

It is this mixture that begins to show a unique narrative. As a person grows, often the child self gets left behind.

You remember what you were like as a kid, and sometimes you wonder: where did that go? Or perhaps you had dreams, some probably ridiculous, but some not so much. Yet in growing up you left them behind as the pressures of responsibility mounted. But in all that you know one thing, you've lost something important: yourself.

It is that beautiful blend of ideas, that makes up a unique way that which to look at KH. Of course with advent of Yozora, it feels all the more likely there is something like this going on. But even without him, the narrative already supports this idea, even from the very beginning.

For me at least, it's a perspective that gets my brain, and my creative heart, going.

After running an entire experiment for over a year and a half

I have finally perfected the best order to play the Kingdom Hearts series in

The aforementioned best order has been completely play-tested by an outsider new to KH in order to verify its effectiveness, and it goes as follows:

Kingdom Hearts 1

Kingdom Hearts X [chi] and Kingdom Hearts Union X [cross]

Kingdom Hearts Birth By Sleep • (start with Ventus, then Terra, and end with Aqua. Include Final Ending. Exclude Secret Ending)

Kingdom Hearts Re:Chain Of Memories

Kingdom Hearts 2 • (followed by Kingdom Hearts BBS’s Secret Ending)

Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days • (read Roxas’s diary alongside the cutscene movie if not playing the original release. Then read the secret reports after finishing the game)

Kingdom Hearts Re:Coded • (you may also play Coded if so desired)

Kingdom Hearts Dark Road

Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance

Kingdom Hearts Birth By Sleep 0.2 A Fragmentary Passage

Kingdom Hearts 3

Kingdom Hearts 3 Re:Mind

Kingdom Hearts Missing Link

Kingdom Hearts Melody Of Memory

Kingdom Hearts 4

Extra notes:

DON’T FORGET THE SECRET BOSSES! All the cutscenes that precede and follow every secret boss fight is important, so I recommend looking them up on YouTube if you can’t beat them

ALWAYS READ THE SECRET REPORTS!!!! All of them. For every game

Look up BBS’s Secret Ending on YouTube, unless you feel like beating all three routes on Proud Mode (including the Mysterious Figure boss… I think. Idk, look it up)

As of writing this post, Missing Link and 4 have not been released yet, so they may be skipped for now. However, based on their trailer vibes alone, I’d still recommend this order whenever they do release

The mobile app for KHUX and KHDR has been discontinued, so the only source we currently have for them are cutscene movies on YouTube and Damo’s fandubs

The Dark Road fandub is not out yet as of posting this video, but hopefully I can update this post whenever it does release (same with Missing Link cutscenes)

If you have any questions please reply to this post because I have answers!

Here are some obvious ones tho:

Days is AFTER 2 to preserve the Riku plot twist

Dark Road is BEFORE DDD to increase player attachment to Xehanort before he takes full control over the narrative

Ventus is played FIRST in BBS because it helps the narrative make more sense (sorry Nomura, Xehanort being evil is not a plot twist)

Any spoilers for future games revealed in the prequels are intentional (like Maleficent thinking about Master Xehanort in Union X, or Terra seeing a vision of KH2 Riku in BBS) and are meant to serve as foreshadowing

If anyone feels like streaming the games in this order please let me know. I skewed the results of my experiment a little by being present for the Test Subject’s playthrough, so it’d genuinely benefit from another account played entirely in a vacuum

But also we kind of sped through the games rather than relishing them. There’s so much to do in all the games but to get to the rest of the story we didn’t really play them to their fullest. I hope future players can enjoy all there is and take their time with it :3

Anyway, please reblog this post if you found it interesting! I want to share this order with the world because I genuinely think it’s the best way to play the games! And again, if you have any questions, feel free to ask!

Thank you to @goldensunset @8golden-harvest8 @share-the-skye for acknowledging my experiment’s existence a couple times, y’all are real ones 💕💕💕
