#merlin is a mouse

[starrieisdelusional]

Arthur: What’s that?

Gaius: What is what sire?

Arthur: That! (Pointing to a mouse) Why is Merlin a rat?!

Gaius: …i’m afraid you’re wrong sire, that isn’t Merlin, that is just a regular, plain, ordinary mouse

Arthur: Gaius, just look at him

My favorite Kingdom Hearts fact is that one of the biggest plot-holes that Nomura has never been able to meaningfully retcon or write his way out, a plot-hole so big that it fundamentally breaks the very rules the series is written on...

Is the existence of Steamboat Willie

Let me explain for the uninitiated:

In Kingdom Hearts 2, there’s a small detour in the story involving Maleficent trying to invade Disney Castle, the home of King Mickey. She can’t step foot in the castle due to an artefact of pure light that wards off darkness locked in the basement.

Pete, who is working for Maleficent, opens a door into the past (Before Disney Castle, this land was known as Timeless River) and decides to remove the artifact from it’s place in time so it won’t be there to stop them from getting in.

Sora, Donald, and Goofy chase Pete into the past thanks to another magic door provided by Merlin, and through some shenanigans involving old cartoons and teaming up with Pete’s past-self, they lock the door the villains are using, and return the artefact to it’s proper place so it can exist in the present.

You with me so far? Pretty straightforward-ish time-travel plot right?

Here’s where it goes off the rails.

Time travel would go on to become a staple of Kingdom Hearts going forward and would come with a very strict set of rules over how it operates:

1. You can only travel to a point in time where a version of yourself exists

2. You basically give up your body to do so, and travel as a disembodied soul unless you have a vessel to inhabit

3. You can’t alter the past in a meaningful way, what’s going to happen will happen

4. You lose your memories of said trip once you return, but your actions could leave a lingering instinct on your other self that could influence their decisions

“Wait” you may be thinking “Why should anyone go through all those hoops? Wasn’t time travel super simple that first time?”

And you’d be totally right, because the existence of Timeless River completely renders all of these rules and restrictions meaningless. 

There is no version of Sora that existed in Timeless River before he step foot there, everyone kept their bodies, the trio and Pete were able to mess with the timeline as freely as they pleased, and they all very much remember their trip. 

Nomura has never been able to meaningfully explain this super simple, easy way of time travel and the more convoluted method co-existing other than a cheap-throwaway line from one of the villains saying that Merlin “broke the rules” 

The hilarious part about this line is that it implies that PETE of all characters is actually more powerful than the actual villain of the series, because Pete opened a door into Timeless River through sheer willpower and nostalgia for “the good old days”

But the all-knowing chess-master of a villain who had an evil plan several decades in the making with countless moving parts and contingencies to account for had to use the roundabout, more complicated method of time travel where a lot could go wrong.

Pete though? Dude just casually broke all the rules of time travel because he felt like it. He's just built different.

TL;DR: Steamboat Willie breaks Kingdom Hearts lore in half, Pete is more powerful than Master Xehanort, and I fucking love this beautiful trainwreck of a series you guys it means so much to me

I love Kingdom hearts so much.

Once Upon a Studio was SO GOOD.

Seeing everyone all together again *Chef's Kiss*

And the song at the end.

Tiny Toons Looniversity is a goldmine for me, Buster’s so googoo! Here’s an art dump!

So I hc him to be a casual glasses wearer cuz it’d be ironic for a rabbit toon (known for their massive intake on carrots) to have mid eyesight. He experiences eyestrain frequently cuz he does most of his notetaking on his laptop, and it took him till the gossip/Merlin episode for him to be revealed to wear glasses. Now he wears them casually.

Evil Buster retaining Buster’s illusion abilities woulda been chaos btw, I wish continuity was more a thing. He coulda gone “got your nose” at Plucky and then the beak is stolen, and they brawl. Evil Buster left too soon…

Anyways, I got more ideas to illustrate, so expect more before the end of the month maybe!!

Hey Mi, have you heard of the Disney Dreamlight Valley game? I know it’s not completely finished yet but I wanted to know your thoughts and opinions about the game. I got too impatient to wait for the full game to come out for free, so I bought it instead. (Mixed feelings on my impulse buy as a college student lol) I do like it so far, I have lots of fun talking with the Disney characters and enjoy decorating the whole island!

IT'S SUCH A COOL GAME REALLY!!

and the lore oh boi

this post by @/whencartoonsruletheworld sums it all up really

I admit I did get the chance to play it one time and really, the amount of stuff you can do is incredible, from personalizing your own clothes and accessories to even moving furniture and houses around it's so cool! Not to mention all the characters gosh they're amazing

I even forgot I did some sketches on that game, don't believe I posted these

I made a Clarabelle Cow personalized backpack since she is not on the game (I personally like to think she's not there because of the Forgetting and all)

And depressive Mickey Mouse is something I really didn't expect when playing, he really barely leaves his house and seeing Minnie Mouse ghost around got me everytime

Anyways, it's a pretty fun game! Hanging out with the disney characters, helping them, seeing their silly attics here and there and decorating everything however you like it's the coolest

First Post under this Blog

Hi! This will be a blog open to questions for me to attempt to write in character responses to regarding Disney Dreamlight Valley (as I am getting back into the game after…I think a year or so…idk how long tbh).

My Ruler’s name is Vaeri and her appearance is under the cut (I cannot draw to save my life so I used my resources, which is Gacha Life, sorry about the quality in advance) and questions are open to be around any character in the game and their opinions as well as about Vaeri and her opinions.

I will also post little attempts at drawing on here relating to Dreamlight Valley, as well as just little shit posts about the game.

Mrs. Turtle gets impatient and goes backstage and Mickey manages to get Baby Shelby out of the candy machine

It was time for his act and Donald puts cement on him so he doesn't escape but suddenly the baby feels stage fright

At one of the tables, Benny Cab lights up Bambi and apologizes

Mickey decides to help baby shelby by taking him out of his shell and using him as a xylophone and laughing baby shelby plays there

Mrs. Turtle gets happy and screams with joy, then you see that everyone has praised her act

When Mrs. Turtle thanks Mickey, baby Shelby escapes from her shell, there Donald finds him and gives him to her. Then Mrs. Turtle tells her that Donald will be her baby's babysitter

That bothered Donald.
