I’d like to hear your ideas about the X-blade? ✨

Haha, I will GLADLY talk about more worldbuilding nonsense.

So, uh--more made-up KH myths, haha, but I kind of had the idea that there are all sorts of stories about Kingdom Hearts and the X-blade that are only like...partially true. They're an amalgamation of stories that have changed over time as people have told them, with probably a lot of people disagreeing on the specifics. (Which is also 100% my justification for anything someone says about Kingdom Hearts/the X-blade War/etc. that seems to contradict information from earlier; they're all just going off different stories that they've heard, which may or may not be true.) The original idea, though, was that the heart of the original world had to be locked away for its own protection, and a single individual was given the only key to unlock it and charged with protecting it. (...Uh. At least in the Fallen Stars-verse, haha.)

Anyway, I like to think that the X-blade doesn't specifically need to have "13 Darknesses and 7 Lights" to reform; that's just one of many, many stories that cropped up about it. It just needs a large amount of Light and Darkness; essentially, it's a sort of, "When things get out of balance, the weapon will return to give people the ability to access the world's heart and restore it" sort of thing.

Venitas exists because Xehanort THOROUGHLY fucked up. Like--technically the weapon just comes when there's enough light and darkness fighting in an area to cause a significant disturbance, but it's not really supposed to be like...such a big disturbance in a single person. They already had a lot going on just as a person pulled apart (like. The trauma that would've caused them, man--), but if combined with a potential Ancient Darkness/Light--it basically made a mess of things. (Congrats, Xehanort! You have created an entity that is kind of a demigod entirely by accident.)

I would like to tell you I, as a Kingdom Hearts X chi/Unchained X/Union Cross fan, will be definitely absolutely positively Normal about John being called a dandelion.

thinkimg about venitas

[tharkflark1]

How do you think Sora would react to Venitas? Do you think he would be scared of them? Do you think, Roxas and Xion would be scared of them (Nvm that Roxas would totally try to fight him but I do think Xion would try to warm up to them tho lol)

Hmmmm they are essentially just Vanitas with Ven’s face. I do think Sora and the Sortas would pull an Aqua with trying to call out to Ven and also beating him up in the process cuz dammit Vanitas this is why you can’t have nice things

[vanivenivici]

New fic!

The Devil You Know Ven lets Venitas take over when they're under duress. They're powerful, but unbalanced. Ven wonders if he can really keep them in check, or if they'll eventually take over his heart completely.

[feat. keyblade fights and a good old fashioned brawl]

[the-forgottenone]

H-hey Van, It looks… *snicker* it looks like, like you were…

TOO SLOW!!

(Venitas is still passed out, so he really can't hear you.

But-uh...why a Sonic refrence-)

Kairi's Absence (KH)

Despite being one of three protagonists, Kairi is often completely overlooked in the series. Sora and Riku leave her behind when they leave island, and don't see her again until near the end of KH1, Where she and Sora turn into heartless.

In two, she's forgotten more or less anything about her friends because a piece of her heart was stored inside Sora during the transformation.

She was able to turn him back from being a heartless by repairing his heart with her own. And forgot him because [the organization] ripped him apart in order to salvage Ventus.

This created the Nobody; Roxas. Who maintained Ventus' consciousness, while a 14th member was created from the remainder of Sora.

This created the Nobody/Heartless hybrid known as Xion. Xion, likely an anagrammed "Oni" (possibly Nio,) was created from the that "Repair" of Sora's heart, along with the piece of Kairi that remembered him.

Wait, who is Roxas/Ventus?

Ventus was an old Keyblade student who was split into two by Araquas and Xehanort.

Most of the blame goes on Xehanort, but it's not like Araquas did anything to help his pupil remain in one piece.

This created the Heartless knowns as Venitas.

Venitas occupied the darkness of Ventus' heart, while Ventus was his light.

At the beginning, of Kingdom Hearts, the Sora we see in the prologue is Ventus. The one who fell into the ocean, merged his light-heart with Sora.

While not explicitly stated, it seems possible that Venitas merged with Riku. As Riku/Ansem uses similar movesets and is garbed similarly.

So when Sora became a heartless in KH1--despite the repair done by Kairi; Xehanort/Ansem was able to disassemble him trying to recover the brainwashed Ventus who took residence in Sora's heart.

Now, Venitas had long since been defeated by Sora in KH1, but ended up joining forces with Xehanort again. (Theory; that was Riku/Ansem/Venitas)

And yet, the only thing we hear from Kairi is how she feels uneasy, like something is missing from her life but she can't put her finger on what...

After Sora pieces himself back together with the help of Roxas/Ventus and Axel. We find ourselves in Kingdom Hearts 2. Where Sora again ends up facing off against Ansem/Xemnas/Xehanort.

Xehanort is kind of an asshole and takes apart his former students in order to control them. Ansem is a former pupil as well, a researcher known as Diz. And Xehanort created Xehanort/Ansem and Xemnas by taking him over.

So after defeating Xehanort three times by the end of Kingdom Hearts 2, Sora has seen the contents Kingdom Hearts firsthand, like no other keyblade wielder in history.

But he still houses a part of Ventus in his own heart, and doesn't quite yet stand alone.

And so we get to Kingdom Hearts 3. Kairi is *finally* a Keyblade wielder and finally a part of the actual overarching story, but still kind of a foot note.

I get that she's supposed to represent Sora and Riku's innocence. But Jesus Christ. She's barely a character in this franchise.

Now, technically these 3 are the pseudo-successors of the original three students of Xehanort and Araquas: Terra, Aqua, and Ventus.

(earth, water, air, who fire? I DUNNO)

And Kairi's absence is explained *because* Aqua had gone missing in the world of darkness. Since Aqua was missing, so too was Kairi. Because Kairi didn't have anyone to guide her like Sora and Riku did.

You know, despite them being guided in non-standard ways in the first place.

As much as I love Kingdom Hearts, it's story is a big-time mess. Lol.
