saw a post on reddit the other day that i can’t stop thinking of that was saying that xehanort shouldn’t have gotten a redemption arc in kh3 and like 1. not a redemption arc, he just had a moment of humanity and characterization as he died, different things 2. we have been humanizing xehanort. since his first appearance. the literal first time we see xehanort original flavor is as a kid standing on the beach at destiny islands wishing he could see the world. that’s our literal first encounter with him! and our second encounter is him taking a kid who he thinks is dying to that same beach so he can die in peace! did he also kill that kid? very much so! but he has been a complicated and deeply human villain since he showed up of course as he dies his friend forgives him. of course he does.

Was thinking about Maleficent in KH last night and had to cackle like a madman at the reminder of how the KH writers took the criticism of how complicated the story became after KH1 when it was just "boy saves the worlds from a bunch of Disney Villains and the mad scientist whose work the villains were building on" and retroactively made it so that all the complexity of post-KH1 games was literally Maleficent's fault.

Like, Dark Road reveals that the entire chain of events that pushed Xehanort down his path to villainy was started by Maleficent cursing Aurora in Sleeping Beauty.

And by the end of Union Cross, the only reason that the Keyblade Wielding civilization that Xehanort trained under existed in the first place was because Maleficent tried to time travel back to the BBS era and change the ending of Sleeping Beauyt but overshot by several centuries, then inadvertently triggered the destruction of what remained of the pre-Keyblade War world as a direct result of the method she used to return to the present for the start of KH2.

And you can even go back further, because the events of the X saga happened as a result of the Master of Masters manipulating everyone to play out the events he recorded in the Book of Prophecies, which were based on him witnessing the events of the future seen through the eye on Luxu's keyblade, up to and including the events of the Dark Seeker Saga. Meaning that the Master saw everything that happened as a result of Maleficent's meddling and then guided events in order to bring those circumstances about.

I dunno, I just think it's hilarious how if you follow the chain of causality back far enough, you realize that so much of the convoluted shenanigans fans complain about in the series are canonically only possible because of the Mistress of All Evil doing what the Mistress of All Evil does best.

(While also adding to the Sisyphean tragedy at the heart of her character journey that I talked about in my 12th Constructing Kingdoms video, because even as she fights to remain relevant as a serious threat in a post-KH1 world, she ironically created the very villains who surpassed her as the main threat to the universe).

i feel like everyone theorizing about Nept is missing the fun fact that if Nept being a blueblood and Aqua's ancestor are both true, then that would make Aqua CANONICALLY related to Xehanort

Always funny to me when people try to argue that Kairi not liking change is a BAD thing when she has literally saved Sora and Riku because of this multiple times

Kairi is "I can go off on a raft because I can come back later" - she's the one who's willing to leave herself and watch others leave but has as her main goal to be HOME when everything is over

And that's important as fuck in a series where the act of remembering someone, recognizing someone even when everything about them has seemingly changed, can be what saves them

[recusant-s-sigil]

I mostly want Xehanort in kh4 because it’d be hilarious if Sora just saw him walking down the street and he was like “!!! WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE” and Xeha’s like “same as you?? Messed with time and my heart too much lol”

thinking about them forever and ever and ever and ever and ever

All around the world, people live seemingly peaceful lives. They believe themselves to be moral and virtuous, but it's all an act. Darkness lurks in the pit of everyone's heart. Their light is a total farce.

kh lovessss making the girls interesting anf giving them major potential only to push that all aside and do almost nothing with them. WE NEED A FEMINIST RETELLING OF KINGDOM HEARTS ‼️

Eraqus: Everytime I hear someone talking about updog, I'm torn between not wanting to fall for it and wanting to help them complete their joke.

Xehanort: Okay, but what is updog?

Bragi: Updog is a long sausage in a bun, often served with ketchup, mustard, onions, and/or relish.

Hermod: Not, that's a hot dog. An updog is when a new version or patch of an application is released.

Vor: No, that's an update. You're thinking of the fourth largest city in Sweden.

Urd: Surely, that's Uppsala, whereas updog is the giant spider in Harry Potter.

Eraqus: That's Aragog. Updog is a symbol conventionally used for an arbitrarily small number in analysis proofs.

Hermod: You're thinking of epsilon. Updog is an upward-moving air current.

Bragi: No, that's an updraft. An updog is the modern version of a henway.

Xehanort: What's a henway??

Eraqus: Oh, about five pounds.
