Day 3: Two characters you want to see friendship form/get stronger

I really want these two to be friends; and I can see Terra going all out to make Kairi feel at home. But I also can see Kairi being a little distant with him at first. Xehanort was wearing the face of Terra when he kidnapped Kairi and sent her to a different world. I don't think it'll be Axel-level worried, but she'd have to remember that Terra wasn't that person.

Also I know Kairi's gearing up to be more magic-based like Aqua; but I just want her to come leaping in to save the day with Meteor crash, Geo Impact or Brutal Blast that Terra taught her.

sometimes i like to imagine quadratum having a news station that reports on sora fighting heartless around the city and he becomes this household hero because more than anything I just want at least one world in the series to acknowledge the poor boy's solo efforts

[butter-goat]

To be honest riku and kairi would be the most important to me, because the characters have grown apart so much it would be nice if they could reach a mutual understanding.

Kingdom Hearts 4 Challenge Day 5: A Wish/A Want

There are so many things that I want and could list here. And, if I'm being honest, most of them pertain to my girl Kairi. I could go on and on about how I want her to finally get her dues (and I definitely have in the past). And how I pray that she will, and I hope some of my other fellow fans will, but I think I'll just keep it simpler this year and also try not to repeat myself too much.

I would love for Kairi to get to meet Shiki from the "The World Ends With You," because if you know both girls at all... well, you know why they would be the best of friends and why this would be too cute. Really, I wish this would have happened in DDD, dangit, but it's never too late:)

Kh4 challenge-2 characters you'd like to see become friends

Almost missed this one!! But I had to make something for today :3 I'm still really really hoping we get to see these 2 be besties in kh4, it's really all I want

[artist-at-play]

I cannot wait to see Strelitzia and Sora become friends. That will be such a dynamic. And I'm a Vanitas supporter so I hope he's able to show up again. Vanitas and Strelitzia would be an interesting dynamic...do you think Vanitas would remember his time in khux? Would he remember Strelitzia?

KH4 Challenge Day 3

Day 3: Two Characters You Want to See a Friendship Form/Get Stronger

My Choice: Roxas and Namine

These two are some of my favorite characters and I really want to see them interact again. KH2 set up a story for them, but there was no payoff, moment, or interaction in KH3. Whether you ship them or not, there is an interesting dynamic to explore with these two. If there are cutscenes for Sora’s friends in KH4, I hope we get at least one interaction between Roxas and Namine.

KH4 Challenge: A World You'd Want to See

I'd love to see a Moana world. There would be a lot of great parallels with Moana and the destiny trio: growing up on an island, a mysterious darkness threatening their home, adventuring out on the open ocean. Bonus if it's Riku and Kairi in this world and finally getting a chance to talk about their different feelings on taking the raft back in KH1

And though the movie tries to be self aware about the disney princesses and her not technically being a princess, Moana could be one of the new seven lights. since the lights aren't referred to as princesses she could still be one of them

Moana and Maui as the companions. Tamatoa and Kakamora as battles. HEARTLESS TE KA BOSS FIGHT

For @twilightown’s #kh4challenge! I figured this little piece I wrote would fit the Day 3 challenge (two characters you want to see a friendship form/get stronger). I suppose it could also fit in with Day 2 and Day 5. Anyway, enjoy!

They had come out of nowhere. Sora was used to the heartless appearing out of thin air to terrorize him. But usually, he wasn't alone. He had Donald and Goofy help him take out the monsters. But now? Things were different. He was in a different environment with different circumstances. While it wasn't extremely challenging, it sure was exhausting.

"Get out of here!" He shouted as he took down another heartless, trying to get the citizens of Quadratum to leave the area so he could handle them. He turned back around to face them. He was exhausted. He had just gotten off of work (rent wasn’t cheap) and just wanted to get back home to the apartment to eat dinner, then fall asleep.

But like always, the heartless seemed to have other plans. He dodged the claws of a neoshadow before striking it down. The rain poured from above, soaking him from head to toe. His clothes stuck to him uncomfortably and keeping his keyblade from slipping out of his hands was becoming more difficult the longer he fought.

With a fierce battle cry, he finally managed to take down the last heartless in the area. With a shaky exhale, he let his keyblade disappear in a shower of golden light. He wrapped his arms around himself. He was soaked to the bone, and it was getting darker out.

He fell to his knees as his fatigue caught up to him. Rain droplets rolled down his cheeks like tears as he simply let the rain wash over him, too tired to care at the moment. It was quiet in the park. Nobody was around. Or he had thought at least. He could hear footsteps coming up from behind him.

Sora didn't know who it was. He just hoped they would leave him alone so he could sort himself out before figuring out a way to get home. The rain suddenly stopped pouring down above him.

He froze and looked up. An umbrella. "Need some help?" A terrifyingly familiar voice spoke calmly.

Sora turned around to see Young Xehanort holding an umbrella over his head. Sora glared at the young man and summoned his keyblade, pointing the tip at the young man's throat as he stood. He hoped he couldn't see how much his hands shook or how terrified he truly felt. "How did you get here?" Sora growled.

Young Xehanort seemed a bit taken aback by Sora's hostility. But he let out a quiet sigh, still holding the umbrella over the both of them. "I am his fourteenth vessel.”

“Fourteenth vessel?”

“Yes. My job was to explore unreality.“ Sora raised an eyebrow, not daring to lower his blade. Young Xehanort sighed.

"It's true. You don't have to believe me. But just know that my intention isn't to hurt you. I may not be the exact same person you fought, but I have his memories so I understand your apprehension." Sora slowly lowered his keyblade but never let it fade.

Sora looked the young man up and down cautiously. "How long have you been in Quadratum?"

Young Xehanort smirked. "You ask a lot of questions."

"Well, I'm curious. Can't blame me." Sora replied with a hesitant shrug. He finally let his keyblade disappear in a flurry of gold. A small smile spread across the young man's face. "I don't know how much time has passed back in reality. But here, I've been in unreality for about… I'd say at least a year or two. It's hard to tell."

Sora slowly nodded. A gust of wind blew by, causing the brunette to shiver. Young Xehanort looked out at the hazy scene surrounding them. "Let's try and find some shelter from the rain. I can try and answer any questions you have."

Sora hesitantly followed Young Xehanort as they walked. A tense silence followed. Young Xehanort glanced at the teen walking beside him. He frowned, taking in his features. He looked exhausted. Dark bags had settled underneath his eyes. He was slumped forward slightly. And he seemed to be dragging his feet. He didn't have his usual walls put in place. His positive smile was just a front so nobody knew how deeply terrified he really was. It was only a matter of time before he broke. Xehanort thought to himself as he focused back forward. The silence was starting to become a bit much.

"How did you arrive here?" Xehanort asked quietly, but loud enough for Sora to hear. Sora didn't answer right away, biting his lip as he carefully thought over his words.

"I abused the power of waking to save someone very special to me. Now, I'm paying the price."

Xehanort couldn't help but smile. Sora glanced at Xehanort and frowned. "What're you smiling about?" He asked defensively. Xehanort shook his head. "Nothing. Just…thinking about how similar we truly are."

Sora paused. "What do you mean?"

Xehanort glanced at the boy before looking straight ahead, the rain still pouring down as street lights lit up the area. "We both have sensitive hearts, Sora. But, I guess the only difference between us, is that you haven't fallen to darkness because of it."

Sora stopped walking. Xehanort turned around to face him. "What do you mean by that?" Sora asked cautiously. Young Xehanort was silent as he tried to come up with the right words to say. He sighed quietly. "When I was around your age, I trained to become a keyblade master. However, something happened. A classmate of mine had a heart similar to ours. He was very sensitive to the hearts of others. To the point where after the loss of his sister, his darkness became too much for him to handle. He went insane. He murdered…all of my friends and then some. I studied darkness to try and control it. I swore I would never become like my classmate."

Xehanort laughed bitterly. "But, I ended up becoming just like him. He had even said the same thing I am telling you. How we are the same."

Sora's face fell. He stared at his shoes. "I'm sorry…." Xehanort sighed. "It's fine. Things…happen. And sometimes, we can't control it. Whether we like it or not. Life is unfair. You and I both know that. But, I'm glad you've been able to keep your light."

Sora swallowed nervously. He moved forward, urging Xehanort to follow. "We aren't so different, you and I." Young Xehanort then glanced at the brunette. "You can be honest with me, Sora." Sora raised an eyebrow in confusion. "Be honest about what?"

"That you actually want the title of Keyblade Master."

Sora's eyes widened in shock before he waved his hands in dismissal. "What?! No! I'm fine without the title. Besides, that's all it is. A title!"

"Is it though?"

Sora snapped his mouth shut. "It may be a title, but with it comes respect. I know how they treat you, Sora. How you're always the laughing stock. You're not good enough. Even though you try your hardest. It will never be enough. And you pretend to be fine with it all. You…remind me of my best friend, Eraqus."

"Aqua, Terra, and Ven's master…" Sora whispered. Xehanort nodded.

The teen glared down at his feet, wrapping his arms around himself, feeling a bit insecure. He supposed…what he said made sense. Young Xehanort offered him a smile. "You can be honest. I'm no longer an enemy. I…would actually just like to be your friend."

Sora looked up at the young man, aghast at his statement. "W-What?"

"I would like to be your friend, Sora. I would like to help you out."

Sora chewed on his lower lip. "Think about it, at least. You don't have to have an answer right away. I'm not forcing you either."

"A…Alright."

Xehanort nodded. "Good. I don't know about you, but I'm starving. Want to get something to eat?" Sora couldn't help but smile slightly. "Yeah, let's get some food."

I want Young Xehanort to come back and be friends or at least an ally to Sora. I'm sorry. I just think this would be really cool!!

If you read this whole thing, wow. Thank you! Hope you liked it!

Day 4: A Headcannon

Kind of a goofy maybe 4th-wall-ish one. But; I headcannon Xehanort playing the violin, and Eraqus the cello when they were younger in Scala, and that's why Xehanort's theme(s) usually include those instruments- especially Young Xehanort.

(others include: Hermod- Piano. Urd- Harp. Vor- Percussion. Bragi-Whatever he wants, he's surprisingly good at everything and no one knows why.(we know why))

One that I didn't draw because I didn't have time is that: Everyone thinks Ventus is a Gemini, but in fact he and Vanitas (who share a birthday) are Libra. My reasoning? 1. The whole motif of them being the balance of Light and darkness 2. In Ven's room there's a bronze scale by the door- prominent place on a mantle. that's it haha. Also another quick Star sign one: Roxas is a Leo or Virgo. I'm leaning more towards Leo; but apparently Summer vacation ends on the 31st August in Japan; which would make him a Virgo if it really was a whole, full year from Roxas being found/created in Twilight Town to his return to Sora.

Day 3: Two characters you want to see a friendship form/get stronger

Brain and Player. Brain and Player. Brain and Player. Brain and Player.

Please Nomura, let Missing Link have Player be more involved in the main plot. Please let Brain and Player bond over their shared loss and trauma (after Player recovers their seemingly lost memories of course… maybe Brain could help with that). Please let them go on adventures together. Let them plot Xehanort’s ‘kidnapping’ together.

I need them to be friends. I need them to find comfort in the fact that, although their home is gone, there’s still at least one other person who knows what it was like. I need Player to tell Brain that they trapped Darkness, for that provide him some amount of comfort around the NULs “failure” (even if it’s not much, it’s still something). I need Brain to let Player know they’re not crazy, that the ‘visions’ they see are in fact memories.
