Sora stumbled as he ran through the underbrush, fear--primal and metallic tasting on his tongue--being the only thing pushing him forward at this point as he barely managed to sprint on doe-like legs. He was tired and knew the inevitability of getting caught was getting closer.

A branch he tried to push aside as he crashed through the forest snapped back after he shoved it out of his path, catching him on the cheek and biting deep. He hissed through his teeth as he felt the warmth of blood slip down his face from the cut. But that didn’t matter right now, the wound was superficial. Let it scar. Let it show how he survived. 

If he survived.

He continued to run for what felt like hours before collapsing on trembling knees outside the hollow of a rotted-out tree from sheer exhaustion. He clambered inside quickly, the pulpy insides had been carved out, either by time or wildlife, but for now, it was the perfect place for him to hide inside as he decided on what to do next. He tucked his quivering legs up against his chest as he shook in the shelter and tried to calm his racing heart. 

As the boy panted, open-mouthed, hot breath mixing with the balmy air, he felt the closest he had ever felt to a prey animal. Was this what being human meant? It made him sick to his stomach at how weak he truly was.

Holding out a hand, he tried to summon his keyblade for the millionth time that night, but other than a few sparkles as the magic tried to manifest, nothing materialized. He was defenseless.  Sure, he could throw a punch if need be, but the thing stalking him was big and strong and who knows if it would even be bothered by his noodly-armed punches. 

His heart stopped dead in his chest at the snapping of a branch nearby. Placing his hands over his mouth and nose, he tried desperately to keep his panicked breathing quiet as he strained his ears to make out any noise that could possibly be heard.

Vore ahead. Don't click the readmore if you're uncomfortable with people getting swallowed whole.

"-and so I took the beam for her, and I was surprised to find out it did absolutely nothing!"

"Really? Wow, that must have been scary."

"Yeah. Which is why I was surprised to be unharmed when I recovered from the headrush and all the ringing in my ears."

Tee walked alongside Ringo, the two chatting before they had to get to bed. Tee grabbed a glass of water off the counter- he was a little thirsty, after all. "So what happened after that?" she asked. "If you don't want to talk about it, I won't pry, but..."

"Oh, no, by all means I'm willing to share," he said, quickly downing a sip. "So, suddenly, my body began to feel warm, and while I barely noticed anything, Ess said I seemed a little taller for the rest of that Earth day." He felt the soft chill in his chest from the water going down- and noticed that it seemed to linger.

He put a hand on his chest, as if to confirm the presence of this chill, and as if on cue it began to intensify. "Huh, is it just me," asked Ringo, feeling some mix of confusion and fear, "or are you... shrinking?" Tee looked down at himself, and then up at Ringo, and quickly realized something.

It wasn't just Ringo. He was getting smaller.

Panicking slightly, he grabbed onto the counter so he wouldn't end up too vulnerable. Soon he had shrunk to only a foot or two tall, and at this point he hoisted himself onto the counter for maximum protection. He could sense that the chill was starting to let up, and soon reached the limit. He'd shrunk to about 4 inches in height, and looked up to see two giant emerald eyes staring down at him- Ringo's, of course.

"O-oh my... What is this, Tee?"

"Well," he sighed, turning to the side, "I appear to have developed some sort of size-shifting ability. I don't have a handle on it yet, however..." He adjusted his goggles awkwardly, wondering where this was going to go.

Ringo extended a hand to him, gently. "Don't worry, I'll keep you safe for the night," she said, smiling softly. "Just climb onto my hand." Although hesitant, he eventually crawled on. Cupped in her hands, she carefully carried him to the bedroom, rocking him to sleep with the swaying motion...

...

He woke up in the middle of the night to something pressing against him. Something damp. He opened his eyes to see what it was, and it soon pulled away from him. To his surprise, the "something" was Ringo's lips. She'd been kissing him in her sleep- just the thought of it made him blush hard.

She quickly muttered a small "mmm... love you so much~..." before pulling him back in for another round. This was making him a little uncomfortable now. However, he couldn't bring himself to try and wake Ringo up, so he just resorted to pushing against her mouth in an attempt to get away.

Two big mistakes.

He accidentally got his hands wedged between her lips, and her mouth opened slightly to let her tounge caress him. Before he could protest, he suddenly flew into her mouth, and he suddenly got struck by a realization of what, exactly, was meant by Finagle's Law.

Anything that can go wrong, will go wrong. And right now, things were going horribly wrong.

She rolled over onto her back, leaving him to drop. He was seriously conflicted on whether to try and get her attention or risk getting swallowed. He didn't have much time to think about it- the muscles of her throat were already tugging st his legs. And as soon as he made the decision to alert her, it stopped mattering. He was quickly swallowed, sending a shock of fear through his body.

The warm, wet walls squished him down. He could barely breathe, and was feeling the full effects of claustrophobia. His heartrate was climbing, and the asynchronous rhythms of Ringo's heartbeat and his own gave him a bit of a headache. He wished this were all just a bad dream, but no, this was very real, and the compression reminded him of that every second.

At last, he felt his feet freed, and soon enough, the rest of him followed suit. He fell onto a squishy floor with an uncomfortable and unceremonious noise. He moved a hand to his chest, trying to catch his breath. He couldn't comprehend how it had happened, but the result was all too clear; he was inside of Ringo's stomach.

He took a moment to assess his options. He'd been swallowed whole by monsters before, and was easily able to slice his way out. But this was his fucking girlfriend; violence was entirely out of the question. Staying here for too long would unquestionably hurt him, though. Really, the only viable course of action was to push at the walls and hope that would get her attention so she could get him out...

...

Ringo couldn't shake that lingering paranoia. Tee had gone missing last night, and she didn't know where he might have gone. She'd lost track of herself, listing all of the horrible possibilities in her head. Her tummy had felt weird all day, but she assumed that was the fear reaction talking.

She could barely think straight for most of the day, but finally snapped out of that funk via Maguro shaking her by the shoulder. "Hey, Ringo.★ Ringo, are you there?★"

"Ah, yeah, sorry, it's just... Well, Tee is missing. I don't know where he could be, or what happened."

"Have you tried calling him?★"

She smacked herself for not thinking of the obvious solution, and quickly fished her phone from her pocket to contact Tee. He responded rather quickly, and immediately her question was, "Where ARE you!?"

"Ouch- little loud there. Anyways, to answer your question... Ugh, how do I break this to you gently...?"

"Just tell me so I can settle my paranoia!!"

"Okay, okay, um..." He was silent for a few seconds. Soon, she felt something tickling her insides, prompting a squeal and a giggle from the poor girl. She clasped her middle, and Tee spoke again. "Did you feel that?" he asked, with a slight weakness in his voice. "That, um... That was me... I'm in your stomach right now."

Hearing those words, Ringo's face was almost instantly drained of color. No way... Was he actually... In there!? She stammered in a flustered panic, eventually ending up with "What the FUCK!? WHY!? HOW!?"

"Well, um... You were kissing me in your sleep, and I accidentally forced myself into your mouth. You swallowed me before I could get your attention, and well... The rest doesn't need explaining." Admittedly, that wasn't the full story, but it was a decent condensation of it, and that was all Tee needed to have.

Kissing him in her sleep? Her subconscious wasn't good at keeping things subtle... She felt somewhat ashamed, even if she didn't remember. "Okay, well my next question is ARE YOU OKAY!?"

"I'm... Decent, I suppose. Actually, I've been here for probably 10 to 12 hours at least and I haven't suffered any adverse effects from the stomach juices."

"Well, you being inside me is still...!" Her voice cut off there, as she couldn't find the words. She quickly panicked and just blurted, "Sit tight, okay!? I'll get you out of there ASAP!" Then she hung up.

In all the panic over Tee being in her stomach, Ringo had completely forgotten Maguro was still right next to her. The long-banged boy smirked and giggled with an undeniable tone of mischief. "Sounds like somebody bit off more than they could chew, huh~?★"

"Y-you shut up!" she stammered, smacking Maguro in the face in sheer flusteredness. (She'd have to apologize for that later.) She then got up and ran off, clutching her stomach, rushing to get the tiny Tee out.

Have you had any thoughts on hybrid versions of the one piece characters? I love seeing what animals people associate with the characters 😅. Also ears and tails are cute

Hybrid Au, my beloved!!! owo I tend to go heavier with the animal research/xeno than just "ears and tails", but yes, I absolutely have thoughts— here's a handful of my favorites/who comes to mind!

. . .

Kaidou — Auroch bull: The now-extinct relative of modern cattle, closely related to Spanish fighting bulls. Bull feels fitting for Kaidou, I think— they're huge, potentially dangerous animals that get screwed over in blood sports or as slaughterhouse bait, and near-universally seen as aggressive because of instincts that are based in self-preservation or protecting a herd. And of course, ending up as a bull hybrid is just what happens to my favs, by now... (@senjuushi)

Judge — Tawny eagle: His "Garuda" theme implies a bird of prey from the start, so it's an easy pick! Described as "opportunistic", with a habit of feeding on carrion (and stealing other animals' prey), yet still "a bold and active predator", tawny eagles fit well with Judge's vibe of regal, pompous, and trying way too hard. They also tend to mate for life... and male birds are known for flashy courtship habits. Reiju, Ichiji, Niji, and Yonji would be the same species for this Au.

Sanji — Mourning dove: Keeping with the bird theme of his family, but a far less bloodthirsty species. Mourning doves are fluffy, vocal birds that are known for being "prolific breeders". They can be territorial between males, but are also social pair-bonders. Sora would have been a dove too, and Sanji sharing her species is just one more sign that the modifications failed. There's also something very fitting about a "caged bird" theme for his experiences with Germa.

Spandam — Giant panda: Useless animal that would be extinct by now without human intervention. Clumsy, pathetic, and admittedly pretty cute, but not good for much other than existing under careful supervision in a zoo. Of course, Spandam's terrible personality ruins most of the cuteness effect his hybrid species might have— ultimately, he's a needy, spoiled idiot who's eternally dependent on the care of others. And personally, I think he should have a cute, sensitive little stubby tail, perfect to yank on when he's being a brat.

Katakuri — Grizzly bear: Linlin is a grizzly hybrid as well, and the shared species adds to Katakuri's reputation as her "perfect" son. He's huge, powerful, and highly threatening... but would be just as content to gorge himself on snacks and all but hibernate afterward. If it wasn't for his self-imposed standard of perfection, that is. His fucked-up mouth seems even worse on a large predator species, too, which definitely adds to his complex/self-consciousness over it.

Perospero — Red fox: I saw a fanart of him as a fox hybrid on Pixiv, and it convinced me. A smug, sneaky bastard who takes after his mother's carnivore tendencies, but with far less of an intimidation factor to back it up. Annoyingly talkative and far more socially oriented than he wants to admit, as well as capable of being an absolute nuisance when he wants to— all of that sounds very fitting for Peros, I think. And fox whining noises fit his crybaby side.

Cracker — Bushy-tailed woodrat: Prey animals that are described as "vocal and boisterous", and nuisances for "creating general noisy havoc"— seems appropriate for Cracker, an overconfident brat who's far less tough than he acts. Packrats (the overall category) are nest-builders, too, which fits with how he spends so much time hiding in his biscuit soldiers to avoid direct combat. Woodrats also apparently have a foot-thumping tendency; a good match for his clapping!

Pudding — British longhair cat: Babygirl-looking murder machine seems highly appropriate. British longhairs have the sweetest little faces and soft coats, but cats are nature's finest serial killers at their core. Pudding would be perfect as a needy, jealousy-prone kitty who's way too good at playing up the cutesy kitten act to get on people's good sides— right up until a tsundere moment kicks in. Then, she's all puffed-up, twitching tail and poorly stifled purring.

Caesar — Axolotl: Like his pet poison slime thing! Axolotls are apparently "used extensively in scientific research due to their ability to regenerate limbs, gills, and parts of their eyes and brains", which feels fitting for Caesar, as does the fact that they're tricky to take care of as pets (and keep getting put in cages by people who don't treat them well, at that). Also, those feathery external gills are cute!!

Queen — American alligator: Lethal fat fuck of a reptile, exactly how Queen should be! Alligators can be lazy and kind of goofy-looking, but they're still dangerous and very strong. The huge, thick tail is also an obvious plus (the "Brachio-Snakeus" trick haunts me). And really, can't you see him sprawled out all lazy, for gator-style sunbathing?

Drake — Rottweiler/Border Collie mix: A strong, intelligent, capable, and work-oriented animal, that would (as a dog-experienced friend put it), "tear a house down to the foundation" if left without enough to occupy it. Drake gives me "beaten dog" vibes, in general, and it feels fitting that his hybrid species could easily have been sweet, if not for the trauma and DEEP psychological issues.

Law — Shorthaired silver tabby: Law is so very catboy-coded. He's a grumpy, fussy kitty who will both claw your arm open if you try to touch him, and could just as easily be reduced to a purring puddle if his guard gets torn down enough to allow it. Cats are highly effective agents of violence (and can be total bastards, when they want to), but also absolute babies. And imagine tiny, angry catboy Law getting scruffed by Rocinante to prevent the aforementioned clawing.

One day shy reader was unknowingly possessed by Demon Law few years ago, looks similar to her husband but has demon horns and tail. When Reader's possessed, her eyes turned yellow.

This time she's month pregnant, and Demon Law couldn't get out due to her pregnancy. This just came to me, you can decide whether Human Law is aware his shy wife is possessed by his demon counterpart or not.😅😊

Counterparts

Human! Trafalgar Law x fem!reader x demon! Trafalgar Law.

Parts ==>

A/n: I know this is different from what you had expected/requested but I have no idea of how to do it, I hope this is alright.

My masterlist

Down in the netherworld, where demons and monsters prey on the souls of humans, a "pleasure district" exists.

Demons tend to "get out of line" and usually come to this district to relax.

"This place has gotten so fucking boring." A demon with sharp horns and strong tail, jet black hair and golden eyes, complained harshly, "the last time I remember, this district is fucking lively"

"Probably because you've fucked every demon here-"

"Shut up!" The demon yelled, "nothing gets my fucking dick hard enough. Gah!"

The demon, also know as "surgeon of death", is frustrated.

"That's it. I'm going to the human realm." He groaned

"M-master...! You know that humans are such fragile creatures!" His companion, a white fluffy bear (which was a stark contrast to hell itself), proclaimed.

"I know." The surgeon smirked darkly, "that's why the thought of it is fun..."

...

At the human realm, (y/n) and her husband, Trafalgar Law, is living happily.

Just married a year ago and moved to a new house right after the wedding to spend their honeymoon there.

(Y/n) works as a chef at a high-end restaurant while Law worked as a surgeon.

Despite busy schedules, they have time for each other.

So right now, they are walking through the streets of the town, buying whatever in the shops they think is quite nice.

"Oh my gosh love, look. A new volume of Sora, warrior of the sea." (Y/n) said

"Where?!" Law gasped, looking around until he saw the bookshelf of a small bookstore.

"Let's go buy it?" She giggled when he practically dragged her to the store to buy said copy.

And guess what? It's an original!

"Second happiest day of my life..." Law sighed to himself as they walked out with the book and a few others as to not seem the book was for him.

"Oh? What's your first?" (Y/n) asked innocently

"Why," he chuckled and held her hand to kiss it, "our wedding. Of course."

It made her blush all over the place and playfully punch him. It made him laugh and kiss her cheek

"Let's go back home so that I can read- I mean rest... so that we can rest." He corrected himself.

While walking home, Law wanted to walk through the forest near the house.

It was a safe path as it was relatively a part of a nature preserve. A path had already been etched on the grassy floor by how many times people have walked in it.

...

After showing up in the human realm, the surgeon shivered; "dammit... is the human realm always so chilly??" He groaned as he walked around and saw the faded path.

"Just my luck." He huffed and followed the path until he saw a young couple. He would be lying if he didn't say his eyes caught a beautiful sight.

A sight of a young woman, beautiful and elegant, a stark contrast to him, just talking with such angelic voice.

But the man next to her was... him?! Just human form...??

He forgot that every demon or monster in hell has their own counter part here in the human realm...

"Just my luck indeed" he frowned but grimaced when he saw that the two were wearing matching rings, indicating they were already married to each other.

"Who's there?" His counterpart growled and pulled the woman behind him to protect.

'what a gentleman.' The surgeon smirked before sighing and showing himself

...

Law and (y/n) gasped upon seeing under Law, just... with horns, tail, and a very mean aura.

"Who are you?" Law huffed and held (y/n) close to him while also protecting her.

"Relax dude, I'm basically you. Just from hell" the demon rolled his eyes, "say... since we're counterparts, mind sharing that toy?"

"Toy...? Toy?! Don't you fucking call my wife a toy!" He yelled

"Love, calm down...!" (Y/n) said before kissing his cheek to calm him down

"I will not tolerate anyone looking down at you like that." Law reasoned

"I understand..."

"Ew. Just... Ew." The demon frowns, "I guess you ca call me Trafalgar since we both have the same names"

It was silent for a while

"Wait... are you shivering? I mean... you're wearing little to no clothes after all and it's almost winter..." (y/n) muttered as the demon blushed intensely

"W-w-what?! I am not shivering!"

"He definitely is..." Law muttered

She just hummed a bit

...

"Please make yourself at home, here... some blankets to keep you warm." (Y/n) smiled as she handed the demon some thick blankets

"Geez. No thank you??" Law grumbled as he started the fireplace

Trafalgar just stuck a tongue out at him like a child making her laugh.

"Law, my love..." (y/n) called as Law stood up to walk over to her, "I think our guest needs some warm food."

Law just looked at his demon counterpart, "let him starve"

"Law!"

"Ugh. Fine."

She giggled and kissed his cheek before excusing herself to the kitchen

Trafalgar basically sighed in relief as the warm fire and thick blankets heat up his entire body.

"Oi." Law called as Trafalgar looked back at him with a groan

"What do you want?"

"If you're here to bring her harm, I am definitely going to kick you back down to hell" Law threatened as Trafalgar rolled his eyes

"Yeah whatever..." he huffed before facing the fire.

Later on, it was time for bed.

"Hmm... we don't have a place for you to sleep..." (y/n) muttered as Law wrapped his arms around her waist and rest his head on her shoulder

"Yeah we do."

"Oh? Where?"

"Outside" law smirked making Trafalgar frown

"My love...! He's our guest! He may be a demon but remember, he's still you. Just... different." (Y/n) said before kissing him, "and no one could ever replace my lovely husband."

"Let me fuck you stupid and you'll reconsider" Trafalgar smirked making Law glare at him and (y/n) to laugh a bit

"Now now... I am only married to one person, and that is my human love. Law..." she smiled, "and while I know you're trying to propose a simple... threesome... I will have to decline. Hell is quite a place, who knows what diseases you have. No offense of course."

"None taken" Trafalgar shook his head, "I just wanna see him explode."

"You-!"

"Love..."

Law sighed before kissing her neck, "sorry dear..."

"It's alright"

"Yeah that's right, 'love'. Stay where you are like a dog"

"Trafalgar." (Y/n) sternly said while glaring

"Ah-"

It has now been a few weeks since the demon was there, it was weird since the demon oddly liked it in the human realm.

Learning all sorts of things from the humans he never even bothered to learn about. Maybe because the teacher was hot-

Law eventually warmed up to him and learned that he and the demon weren't that far apart other than the realms they lived in.

"Yeah, I'm a surgeon down at hell." Trafalgar shrugged as he drank some hot chocolate.

It was late at night, probably later than what they would prefer but...

"Oh? It must've been difficult. Considering your anatomy and human anatomy is rather different as well" Law hummed as he pulled (y/n) against him making her hum

"What else is different in hell? Do I have a demon counterpart? That would've been rather... awesome?" (Y/n) giggled

"I don't know, haven't met her yet." Trafalgar shrugged.

As the conversation grew intimate, actions were as well.

One thing led to another and (y/n) found herself being carried and teased by two pairs of hands while her wrists were tied together above her head and blindfolded.

"L-law...! Trafalgar..." she gasped when she felt the last bit of cloth in her body ripped away. Other than her panties that remained, she was entirely naked on the bed for both to see

"J knew she was hot, but not this hot..." Trafalgar bit his lip before running his hands up her trembling thighs and settle on her hips to pull her down slightly

"That my wife you're talking about, obviously she's hot." Law smirked before playing with her chest, pinching and pulling on her nipples as she moaned and arched her back.

"I wonder how long will she last..." Trafalgar muttered, already playing with the wet bud in her folds

"I doubt it would be long, she's already wet and dripping..." Law smirked as he pushed the fabric of her panties aside to reveal a wet entrance.

"L-law... Trafalgar... please." She begged, panting heavily

"Yep. Not too long, she's already begging" Trafalgar laughed before ripping away her panties and placing her legs over his shoulder.

Before diving, Law warned him not to take it too much.

"I know" Trafalgar rolled his eyes before licking his lips, "thank you for such a meal." He muttered before diving between her legs and lick up her slit and tasting her wetness.

The action made her moan outloid and pull on the restraints. As well as arching her back.

Trafalgar smirked at the taste and continued on, not wasting any time on foreplay and just fucked her entrance with his long tongue making her weep in pleasure

"Ah- ah..! T-trafalgar...!" She gasped as Law chuckled and started sucking on her breasts.

All these sensations, partnered with the restraints and blindfold, brought her to ecstasy and cum on Trafalgar's face

"Mmhh... so good." The demon said while drinking up her orgasm with slurps and wet noises.

"I think that's enough oral." Law smirked as he pulled away from her now bruised chest with his hickey's.

"I think so too" Trafalgar smirked before slowly, but teasingly, pulling out his long tongue from inside her, making her shiver from the sensitivity.

"Don't you dare fuck her pussy." Law growled while glaring at him

"I have no intention to. Though it tastes delicious. I wonder if her ass is open..." the demon smirked before trailing his hand up in between her still trembling thighs and rub against the hole in her back side that seemed to twitch with sensitivity, "well what a surprise... a perfect ass..."

"Tsk." Law rolled his eyes before taking out the toys they have, "if you're going to fuck her ass, prepare her properly"

"W-what do you mean...?" She sighed in exhaustion

"You'll know soon enough." Trafalgar smirked.

Law rolled his eyes before positioning (y/n) to straddle his lap and slip his dick inside her making her moan and arch her back.

Her arms were already wrapped tightly around her husband, only for her to gasp at the feeling of a cold liquid being pressed against her back side.

And not too long after, the demon's fingers started to push against the hole until they were inside it, coating her insides with the cold liquid as well before he pulled them out.

Only to be replaced with what felt like a rubber object with the same liquid but this time, it had a weird but also pleasurable shape and texture until she felt the very hilt of it hit the outside of her hole.

"Wow... that made me fucking cum." Trafalgar groaned

Law rolled his eyes and kissed her neck, "how are you feeling?"

"L-law... please move..." she moaned in his ear.

"May I...?"

"Sure"

Grabbing hold of the bottom of the toy, he slowly pulled it out before shoving it back in making her moan and clench around him tightly

Law continued this action, getting faster and faster everytime until he was practically slamming the toy back inside her as soon as it was pulled out.

"L-law...! I'm so close...!" She moaned before he smirked and pulled the toy all the way out, "law!"

"Come now..." he chuckled and kissed her on the lips.

"My turn..." Trafalgar smirked before holding her hips tightly and positioning himself at her now ready hole, his tip pressing against it

"You ready?"

She nodded and held tight unto Law.

The sight of her ass being parted by his hand sent something inside Trafalgar making him shove his whole length in without any mercy and started pounding, not caring if she adjusted or not.

Law soon started to match his pace making (y/n) howl moans and gasps that bounced off the walls of the room, as well as the sound of sex itself.

"Who knew you'd be such a whore for double penetration?" Trafalgar chuckled before cursing slightly, "but fuck... this ass is so good."

Law chuckled, "heh. My sweet little slut. Moaning like a cow while being fucked stupid by two dicks..."

(Y/n) moaned even more with the added degration until they had enough and sped up to catch their highs.

She basically came before them multiple times until they actually came deep inside her.

Law pressing against her womb and Trafalgar against her prostate.

The feeling made her moan even louder and cum a third time.

...

"That felt fucking good." Trafalgar muttered as he put on some clothes.

Law cleaned (y/n) up as she was already sleeping, "yeah. Sure."

"Fuck... now I wanna fuck her in her sleep."

"Don't you dare."

Between Worlds: The Princess of Twisted Realms

Reborn into the world of Twisted Wonderland Vivian must navigate this world to uncover the secrets of her birth, while maintaining her new role in this life. Will she find her way back to her old world, or will Twisted Wonderland reshape her destiny?

Prologue 1

Prelude

Present: Mirror Chambers—Night Raven College

Vivian stood amidst the grandeur of Night Raven College’s great hall, the ancient stone walls draped in shadows cast by flickering chandeliers. The air buzzed with anticipation as students waited to be sorted into their dorms, but her thoughts were far removed from the present. She was caught between two worlds, two identities, and the heavy weight of her choices.

As she approached the Dark Mirror, memories of her final training session flooded her mind—a time when her future seemed inevitable yet uncertain. She had chosen this path, but now, faced with the unknown, doubt crept into her heart. Was this truly the first step toward finding her way back to Sora, the life she longed to return to? Or was she stepping deeper into a role that threatened to consume her?

The Dark Mirror loomed before her, its surface unnervingly smooth, reflecting only shadows and flickers of light. Vivian hesitated, pulling the hood of her cloak tighter around her face, as if shielding herself from the truth it might reveal. Her thoughts drifted to her family in Twisted Wonderland—her brother Arkin, the Crown Prince; her parents, the Emperor and Empress; and the expectations that came with being Crown Princess. Expectations she had long avoided. Yet beneath those thoughts lay memories of Sora’s life, a simpler existence filled with warmth and love, a life she feared she might never reclaim.

With a deep breath, she leaned in close and whispered her name to the Dark Mirror, “Vivian de Alcantara.” Her voice, though soft, echoed ominously in the hall. For a brief moment, she feared the Mirror would expose her identity or that the students around her would notice her whisper. But instead, it responded with a booming proclamation: “Ignihyde!”

Relief washed over her, quickly followed by a wave of apprehension as she stepped back. She could feel the eyes of the other students on her—curious, speculative, yet unaware of the true identity hidden beneath her hood. For now, she preferred it that way.

As she moved to join the students sorted into Ignihyde, a cold chill ran down her spine—a feeling as though someone was watching her more intently than the rest. She dismissed it, focusing instead on the familiar weight of her cloak and the comforting presence of Teddy, her Alicorn familiar, who fluttered discreetly within the folds of her cloak.

You sure you’re okay with this? Teddy’s voice softly rang in her head. This place gives me the creeps, and not in a good way.

Vivian’s lips curved into a faint smile. She gently brushed her fingers against Teddy’s soft mane. I’ll be fine, Teddy. We’ve faced worse before.

Yeah, but this time feels different, Teddy persisted, his usually playful tone tinged with concern. It’s like we’re walking into a nest of vipers that don’t even know what they’re dealing with.

Before Vivian could respond, a shadow fell over them. She looked up to see Jack Howl, a tall, muscular student from Savanaclaw, approaching. His amber eyes were sharp, like a predator sizing up its prey, and his presence commanded attention, even in the bustling crowd. Other students seemed to instinctively step aside as he passed, a subtle acknowledgment of his dominance.

Jack stopped in front of her, his gaze lingering on her hooded figure. “Are you alright?” he asked, his voice quiet but edged with something unspoken, a sharpness that made Vivian pause. This wasn’t a casual inquiry; there was an intensity in his eyes, as if he sensed something off about her.

“I’m fine,” Vivian replied, keeping her voice calm and controlled, masking her feminine tone with a neutral one. She kept her face hidden, knowing that revealing too much too soon could lead to unwanted complications. Tomorrow, when the entire student body would see her face and uniform, would bring its own set of challenges.

Jack’s gaze didn’t waver, but he nodded slowly. “If you need anything, just let me know.”

“Thanks,” she said, offering a slight nod in return. As Jack moved away, Vivian felt a mixture of relief and caution. Jack Howl was someone to watch—whether as an ally or an obstacle was yet to be determined.

As the ceremony continued, Vivian’s thoughts drifted back to her last day in Elysium, where she had spent countless hours training, honing her skills. The memory was vivid, as if it had happened just moments ago.

———————————————————————————

Flashback: The Training Grounds of Elysium

The sky over Elysium was painted in shades of gold and amber as the sun set, casting a warm, almost ethereal light across the sprawling training grounds. Vivian stood at the edge of the field, her heart pounding in her chest as she faced her older brother, Arkin. He was the epitome of strength and grace, his sword gleaming in the dying light, a testament to his skill and power.

“Ready, Viv?” Arkin called out, his voice carrying a confident warmth that belied the seriousness of their session.

Vivian nodded, tightening her grip on her sword—a weapon crafted from ancient steel and iron, imbued with powerful runes that glowed softly in her hands. The air around her seemed to hum with magic, a force she had mastered but rarely unleashed to its full potential. Not even now, in front of Arkin.

The training began with the clash of weapons and the sizzle of magic in the air. Vivian moved with precision and agility, every strike calculated, every spell controlled. But no matter how hard she pushed herself, she held back, a silent choice she made to protect her brother, to let him believe he was the stronger one.

Arkin’s voice cut through the air, urging her on. “Don’t hold back, Viv. You’re stronger than this.”

But Vivian knew the truth—she was stronger than Arkin could ever imagine, stronger than she wanted him to know. If she unleashed her full power, it would change everything, disrupt the delicate balance of their family’s expectations. “I am giving my all, Arkin,” she said, convincing him as she had done their whole lives, unaware of the doubt running through his mind.

As their battle intensified, Arkin’s movements became more forceful, more determined, as if he sensed her hesitation. Finally, with a swift and practiced move, he disarmed her, sending her sword flying across the field. Vivian dropped to her knees, gasping for breath, acting as though her body ached from the exertion, but her mind was far from defeated.

Arkin knelt beside her, his expression softening into one of brotherly concern. “You did well, Viv. Better than last time.”

Vivian looked up at him, returning his smile with her own. “Well, you are a tough competitor.”

Arkin’s gaze softened even further as he placed a reassuring hand on her shoulder. “Well, hopefully, the day comes when you fight me with Hercules’s Scepter.”

His words were light-hearted and meant to comfort, but they couldn’t dispel the lingering doubt in her heart. Was he suspecting her? Or was it his way of saying she could be stronger than him? Although her face remained calm, her mind swirled with anticipation. She needed to be more careful. She reminded herself that her plan would fall apart if she wasn't careful.

As the sun dipped below the horizon, casting long shadows across the field, Vivian made a silent vow. She would continue to fight, to train, to seek a way back to the life she lost—and, most importantly, to ensure her current family’s happiness. But for now, she would play the role she wanted everyone to believe, keeping her true strength hidden, even from those closest to her.

———————————————————————————

Present Day: The Dorm Sorting Ceremony

The memory faded, leaving Vivian with a renewed sense of determination as she returned to the present. The cold stone floor of the great hall grounded her, the murmurs of the other students now distant and insignificant. She remained still, allowing the crowd to disperse as they made their way to their respective dorms.

Teddy, she directed her thoughts to him, we need to stay focused. There’s too much at stake for us to lose sight of our goal.

Teddy, usually brimming with playful energy, nodded solemnly. I know, Viv. But don’t overdo it, alright?

Don’t worry, I won’t, Vivian’s voice lightened as she reassured him. She pulled her cloak tighter around her, shielding herself from the inquisitive gazes of the students as she moved toward the group of newly assigned Ignihyde students.

As she settled into the crowd, her thoughts turned to the day ahead—a day she both dreaded and anticipated. Tomorrow, when she would no longer be able to hide behind her cloak, when her full identity would be exposed to the entire student body, bringing with it a flood of attention she neither wanted nor needed, but hoped she could use to her advantage.

This wasn’t her world, and these were the people she had avoided in this life. But for now, they were a necessary part of her journey, a journey she was determined to see through to the end.

Round 2 Match 6: They Should Have Been At The Club Tournament

Propaganda below the cut.

Propaganda for Winter:

(CW: animal death, brainwashing, abuse, racism)

Winter, since the day he was born, was pressured to meet the immense expectations of his abusive parents, Narwhal and Tundra, in order for him and/or them to have a high rank within their society. Which also included having to hunt for dangerous prey and going through dangerous blizzards at the age of a young child. Winter lost his brother, Hailstorm, by Hailstorm being imprisoned by Queen Scarlet, - who he thought was dead - with Queen Scarlet being ordered for Hailstorm to be brainwashed and transformed into an entire different dragon. He also witnessed two dragons dying and one severely burned from a cactus bomb explosion within a history cave, which was caused by his sister’s roommate, Sora.

Winter learned that his sister, Icicle, has been ordered by Queen Scarlet to murder his teachers and the RainWing Queen, a dragon who harmed his friends/love interests while trying to stop her from committing murder as well. He also saw his sister severely sleep depriving himself by burning herself in lava, out of her of Queen Scarlet telling her that his brother is dead because she failed to do what Queen Scarlet ordered her to do.

Winter also witnessed a “NightWing” with super-strength slam one of his friends so hard to the point that she went into a coma. Winter unintentionally was BURNED ALIVE by a dragon, Peril, whose scales emit intense hot fire, and nearly DIED because of it, before being healed by a magical magic rock that was enchanted by one of Winter’s friends, Turtle-

He also was severely brainwashed by a racist 2,000 year old teenager, Darkstalker, who killed a good proportion of Winter’s tribe - including his aunt. Darkstalker sent his NightWings subject into battle with the IceWings, which occurred next to the school that Winter’s attending, which is a battle that Winter participated in, after Winter saw father being killed at the entrance of the school.

And now Winter - who, by the way, is a young teenager - is now currently the LEADER of a big town that he’s currently working hard in building that includes members of all tribes to live in. He also didn’t become the boyfriend of Moonwatcher, the girl that he likes (possibly due to his past treatment towards her) which is something that’s he’s heartbroken over that he’s trying to move on from. Winter dealt with so much abuse, trauma, and grief throughout his life and in the Arc. that’s he in, so because of this, I believe he deserves a hang out in the club.

Propaganda for Tim Drake:

he spent his teen years trailing behind batman, and when batman was gone he spent a years time looking for batman. he Really didnt get to ve a teenager. he was stuck in batman's shadow. girl shouldve been at the club!

Explanations for why I did the Cinnamon Roll Meme this way:

Looks like a cinnamon roll, is actually a cinnamon roll — Agumon, coz he's an adorable little dinosaur more likely to try the diplomatic approach than to jump immediately into fighting; Piyomon, coz she's an adorable pink bird who gives emotional support to her friends; Tachikawa Mimi, coz (especially after her growth as a person) she's a compassionate person; Kamiya "Kari" Hikari, coz she puts others first to the point of getting ill and/or injured solely coz she wants to not be a burden to them; Wallace "Willis" Williams, coz they cares 'bout the safety of random strangers & tries to solve difficult situations alone to avoid putting others in danger; Motomiya Daisuke, coz he refuses to harm his friends and he'll befriend you even if you've done something bad since he knows you genuinely regret what you did; Hida Iori, coz she's a semi-pacifist who despises killing & lying.

Looks like a cinnamon roll, could actually kill you — Kamiya "Tai" Taichi, coz he's an adorable goofball who (usually) doesn't hesitate to jump into danger to save his friends & has no problem killing anyone threatening them (especially if Kari is the friend whose life is under threat since she's his biological fullsister); Takenouchi Sora, coz when she was age 11-12 it was damned clear in canon that she could easily assassinate people if she wanted to & everyone are lucky that she's genuinely nice; Gomamon, coz he's an adorable goofball who nevertheless can (with his friends' help) kill a Champion Level Digimon as a Rookie; Patamon, coz he's 1 of the most adorable Rookie Level Digimon ever yet also a major powerhouse upon digivolving; Ichijouji Ken, coz he literally tried to murder a fellow human when he was the Digimon Kaiser/Digimon Emperor and even after becoming a good person he had no problem with sending a majorly evil Digimon (who was being basically a terrorist) into the Dark Ocean yet he's still a genuinely nice kid; Inoue Miyako, coz she's a nerdy & genuinely nice kid yet doesn't hesitate to smack an Ultimate Level Digimon with a skateboard and (despite initially hesitating) is willing to do whatever it takes to get rid of enemies who've proven they're willing to slaughter innocent people.

Looks like they could kill you, is a cinnamon roll — Gabumon, coz his teeth and horn make him seem the scariest of the 8 original Digimon partners yet he's also the gentlest of them all; Izumi "Izzy" Kōshirō, coz anyone aware of Izzy's badass computer skills would be scared of him (I certainly was as a kid & still am as an adult despite my immense respect for his skills in both childhood & adulthood), but Izzy actually is a good kid; Kido Joe, coz he's the oldest DigiDestined and literally throws himself on Digimon in attempts to protect his friends, so you'd think he's some badass combatant yet actually Joe is the team's medic & a very responsible person; Takaishi "Keru" Takeru, coz he doesn't hesitate to punch the face of anyone intentionally messing with Darkness & sometimes is abrasive when he talks to people (even when they're his loved ones), so (similarly to Joe) it's easy to assume he's a violent person 'til you get to see his soft side; Wormmon, coz he's an insect Digimon that looks far more scary than cute yet he's as gentle as Gabumon; Hawkmon, coz he looks like a typical bird of prey yet in personality is more of a polite & caring older brother instead of a carnivore; Armadimon/Armadillomon, coz he is an armadillo dinosaur who looks scary yet in personality is simply a goofball.

Looks like they could kill you, could actually kill you — Ishida "Mat" Yamato, coz this DigiDestined by far scares me the most (except Ken was scarier during his time as the Digimon Kaiser/Digimon Emperor) due to his explicit willingness to kill his enemies & ('til he grew as a person) attack his friends making his aloofness feel more threatening than make him seem unapproachable; Tentomon, coz he's a giant bug whose digivolved forms are even bigger & scarier bugs and he once destroyed an entire pocket dimension as AtlerKabuterimon/MegaKabuterimon; Palmon, coz she's a plant lizard with poison attacks; Tailmon/Gatomon, coz she's introduced punching the snot out of 6 fellow Champion Digimon much bigger than her & the 2 being each other's fated adventuring platonic partners is the only reason she didn't murder Kari; Lopmon & Terriermon, coz the twins' horns mitigate their adorable appearance into seeming less approachable plus Lopmon spends most of his screentime as Wendimon plus Terriermon gains gun arms whenever she digivolves into her Champion form; Veemon, coz. he's a junvenile wingless dragon who'll headbutt the snot out of you before digivolving into 1 of his bigger forms which have very sharp claws & teeth.

Breathe With Me

The past always seemed to come crashing into the present. Kairi couldn't escape it sometimes, could only let a wave of disjointed sensations and fragmented memories sweep over her until she was completely and utterly lost.

Shadowy creatures with horrible yellow eyes chased after her as her heart thudded inside her chest. Something was squeezing, squeezing so hard she could barely breathe.

She was trapped in a strange capsule, shut off from the world, from everyone she knew and loved. She thrashed and screamed, but her body was oddly still, her eyelids heavy. Asleep.

A man was dragging her, dragging her along, didn't care that her feet skidded across the ground or that she’d told him to stop. In this man's world, might was right and the strong preyed on the weak for their own advantage.

The hand of another man, much bigger and stronger than hers, yanked her arm back so hard she was sure it was dislocated.

Her sleep as deep as death was interrupted by a deep, slashing pain across her back and then excruciating agony as she shattered into pieces. The man who had done it saw her as a tool, a means to an end instead of a living, breathing person with hopes and dreams and feelings of her own.

That same man was taunting her now, reminding her that—

"Kairi!”

She knew that voice. Her eyes flew open. Another man, very different from the rest, lay beside her on their bed. His hair was messy and his eyes were bleary with sleep. He gently laid his hand on her arm, concern scrunching his face up.

Her breathing was ragged, her skin covered in a cold sweat even as her body burned. She’d kicked off the blanket, and her hair was sweaty and stuck to her neck and shoulders and cheeks.

"Nightmares?” he asked, and she nodded. He instantly moved closer, and she rested a shaking hand on his bare chest where his keyhole-shaped scar was. The scar had faded and stretched a little with time but still bore the mark of his sacrifice, the sign of his love for her. A moment later, she felt his sure, steady heartbeat pushing back against her fingertips. That heart had sheltered and soothed her so many times before, and she already felt her raw panic and terror subsiding a little.

“Breathe with me,” Sora said, cupping her cheeks in his hands as he gently rested his forehead against hers. This gesture grounded her, connected his touch with her vagus nerve that ran all the way from her belly through her heart and up into her face. She hadn't realized how connected her body was to itself, let alone how beautifully it could connect to another person’s, until she’d met Sora.

You’re safe, his gesture said. I'm here, and it's gonna be okay.

He breathed slowly, deeply, evenly, in through his nose and out through his mouth. She forced her panicky, shallow breaths to match his. In two, three, four, five, out, two, three, four, five, in, two, three, four, five, out, two, three, four, five, over and over again until they were in sync, sharing the same breath.

She felt herself relaxing, the tension throughout her whole body loosening. Her thoughts stopped jumping all over the place and zeroed in on him. His breath, his touch, his scent. She knew him at an instinctual level, and his presence was always calming or joy-bringing. Always made her feel better. She trusted him completely like she had never trusted anyone else before.

A soft smile tugged at his lips. “Better?”

She nodded, tracing the path of his scar. “Much, much better.”

“Good.” He kissed her forehead, a tender, lingering kiss, then she nestled next to his heart, continuing to breathe deeply. His hand instinctively found the scar on her back that ran from a little below the nape of her neck to her lower spine, gently running his fingers up and down its length.

“I'm sorry this keeps happening,” she mumbled into his chest. Her nightmares and flashbacks were making it difficult for both of them to get enough sleep.

“Hey, it's not your fault,” he said, continuing to caress her back. “Our minds and bodies show everything we've been through, like stories etched into our skin. And you've been through so much. Your body has a lot of stories to tell, and I wish with all my heart I had prevented many of them.”

She looked up at him, and in the moonlight from the window, she could make out the tears glistening in his eyes. His empathy and compassion moved her heart deeply.

“You've been through so much too,” she told him. “There‘s so much I wish I could've spared you from.”

All the pain and suffering and heartache. All the separations and sleepless nights and endless longing. They’d both been through so much, and it showed sometimes in their eyes, in their faces, and always in the scars etched on their bodies.

“What happened, happened,” he gently told her as he played with her hair. “And what matters is that we didn't let our story end like that. We don't have to let it define us either. We're survivors and we’re together, and we'll help each other heal and move on.”

She nodded and kissed his chest. Now she was the one touching and soothing him, showing with caresses instead of words that he was safe and he was okay and she was here. Trusting his nerves to take the message straight to his head and his heart. A kiss for every blow and betrayal he’d ever received from an enemy or friend, a caress for every time he'd put himself in harm's way to protect her or someone else. Each touch reverent and filled with gratitude because his body held so many sacred memories.

The skin to skin contact was divine. Her body had been hurt so many times by men far stronger than her, which was why she treasured his body so much. He was always gentle with her, always tender and loving. Yes, they argued from time to time, but not once, not ever had he used his body to harm hers. It made her feel guilty for all the times she'd smacked him growing up, even if it was (mostly) playful. She’d vowed to herself never to do that kind of thing again once she’d realized how much her touch meant to him.

As she continued gently kissing and caressing his chest, he melted into her touch. But instead of his breathing evening out, it got heavier and louder and even hitched a couple of times, and a flush spread across his face and chest. Oops. Not the reaction she’d meant to get from him, but she supposed it wasn't surprising.

She stopped what she was doing and giggled into her hand. “Sorry, I was trying to calm you down, not turn you on.”

He shook his head and grinned. “Haven't you figured it out yet? You touching me like that and kissing me turns me on like crazy. I thought you knew after that evening on the beach all those years ago. Did you see the color my face turned? And how all rational thought and even the ability to use language fled my mind? I stood there grinning and giggling like an idiot for several minutes after you’d left. I'm lucky no one was around to witness that. I never would've lived it down”

She planted a quick peck on his lips. “I'll be more careful next time,” she solemnly promised.

“Please don't be,” he replied, very seriously, his lips twitching until a huge smile spread across his face.

She giggled again as his grin just got bigger and bigger, a mischievous spark in his eyes. Then he kissed her, playfully, affectionately, and right as she was losing herself to the kiss, he caught her off guard with a tickle attack. She quickly retaliated, and before too long, all thoughts of the nightmares and bad memories that had haunted her had fled her mind. They would come back from time to time, she knew they would, but there were ways to deal with them when they came.

It was like Sora had said. Their bodies were a living witness to what they had been through. The nightmares, in a way, spoke to her strength and resilience. They were her mind’s attempts to control and make sense of what had happened to her heart and soul and body. And there were ways she could help herself heal. Sora would help her too, and she would help him. They couldn't change the past, not without dire consequences, but they could come to terms with it and move forward. And that was what they would do, one day at a time.

Her thoughts were peaceful as she cuddled with him. His arm was wrapped around the scar on her back and her hand rested on the scar on his chest. He had shielded her so many times before, both with his heart and his body, and now he was holding her close, his very presence grounding her and keeping her safe. She knew she was the same grounding presence for him. Together, their breathing evened out into the deep, peaceful rhythm of sleep.

A/N: Thank you for reading! I've been reading a bit about Polyvagal theory and find it fascinating, and incorporated some of that into this story. I set it in the Scars series because it felt like a natural fit. Sora and Kairi would have emotional scars, not just physical ones, that would need TLC.

Other stories in the series:

Sora catches Kairi staring at him one day, and he decides to figure out why.

Kairi never wears anything that shows her back anymore, and one day Sora finds out why.

Mini Fanfic #1228: A Fun, (Un)fair Game of Paintball Wars (Kingdom Hearts X SSBU)

3:49 p.m. at Twilight Town's Local Paintball Battlefield.........

'Ratatatatatatatatatatatatatatatata'

Riku: (Running Away from the Various Paintballs Coming to his and Kirby's Direction While Desperately Looking For a Hiding Spot to Take Cover In) Come on......There gotta be an spot lurking around somewhere......

Kirby: (Searches For a Hiding Spot While Riding onto Riku's Back) Hmmmmm......('Gasps') Poyo Poyo! (Points Riku to the Closet Spot)

Riku: Good eye, Kirby. Let's roll.

Riku flips and dodges through every paintballs flying at his and Kirby's path before sliding himself over to the very hiding spot Kirby picked out for the both of them. The duo then silently shush one another as let they listen in on their opponents hunting for them in the distance..

'Boots Walking Noises'

Sora: Riiiiiiiiikuuuu~

Kairi: Come out, come out, wherever you are~

Pit: You too, Kirbyyyyyyy~

Viridi: If you come out right now, Big Sis Viridi will bake you lots of yummy,delectable sweets tonight!~

Kirby: (Happily Comes Out of his Hiding Spot) Poyo?

Riku: (Quickly Grabs Hold of his Partner, Revealing Himself as Well) Kirby!!

Sora/Kairi/Pit/Viridi: (Immediately Points Their Paintball Shooters at Two of their Preys) Gotcha!

Riku: (Summons his Keyblade) Warp!

Sora/Kairi: NOOOO!

As the gang begins to shoot at Riku and Kirby, bright blue light begins to surround the both of them before it causes them to disappear, unscathed.

Viridi: ('Sigh') They're gone.

Sora: (Stomps his Foot Down in Annoyance, Frustration, and Disappointment) Dangit, Riku! You just HAD to wimp out and break the "No Use of Magic" rule at the last second!

Pit: (Grabs his Chin) You know, I never really took Riku, of all people, for a rule breaker until now.

Kairi: (Crosses her Arms in (Cute) Anger) ('Hmph') I can. He always had this rebellious side to him growing up. Yet he has the nerve go around saying how much of a "Changed Man he is". ('Groans in Frustration') Oooh, I wanna kiss that dumb face of his so bad right now!!~

Sora: (Places his Hand onto his Girlfriend's Shoulder) Patience, Kairi. We'll both get our kisses and cuddles outta him as soon as we finally beat him at his own game.

Kairi: (Takes a Deep Breath as She Calms Herself Down a Bit) Yeah. You're right. The game's not over yet. (Puts on the Most Fierce, Determined Look She Has Mustered Yet) We will beat him at his own game and BREAK his winning streak if it's the last thing any of us do. (Pumps Her Fist Up to the Sky While Screaming Out......) RETRIBUTION!!!

Sora/Kairi: RETRIBUTION!!!!!

Pit: (Watches Two of His Friends Shouting 'Retribution' in the Mid Distance) Wow. Childhood rivalries are something fierce. (Turns to his Girlfriend, Viridi, Standing Next to Him) Either that or you were definitely not kidding when you say paintball fights could easily change a person overtime.

Viridi: (Casually Shrugs While Eating Gummy Wprms From Out of the Bag) Eh. It's entertaining to watch unfold either way. ('Mm') (Pass Pit the Bag) Want some gummies? They're pretty good.

Pit: I'll be judge of that. (Takes a Gummy Worm Out of the Bag and Eats It Before Falling in Love With It a Second After) Yummy~

Viridi gently pats her boyfriend's arm as she starts eating some more gummies for herself.

Meanwhile at the Other Side of the Battlefield........

A similar colored blue light suddenly appears at the destinated spot as it reveals itself to be Riku and Kirby before it wears off both of them and fades into nothingness.

Riku: (Panting a Bit Before Getting Himself Back Up) Okay.....I think we might've lost for them.

Kirby: (Pouts at Riku) Poyopoyo Poyo Poyopoyo!

Riku: ('Sigh') Yes, I know, I broke the magic rule. I panicked. It's not a good enough reason, but it's something. (Puts on a More Annoyed Look on his Face) Besides, if anyone you wanna chastise, it's Sora and Kairi for pinning the two of us against them, Pit, and Vi before coming here. Pretty one sided on their end, don't you think?

Kirby: (Shrugs) Poyo Poyopoyo Poyopoyo Poyopoyo. Poyopoyo poyo.

Riku: Well, yeah. You are a really tough cookie to cra- Wait. (Turns to Kirby) You did what now?

Kirby: Poyo poyo. (Takes his Phone Out From his Army Vest) Poyo?

Kirby then shows Riku a video clip of him participating in a Megaton Punch Champonship in the past, where he punched the two solid concrete blocks in half so hard that it caused the entire Planet Popstar to crack.

Riku: (Lowers his Hunter Shades, Surprised at What He Has Watched in Front of Him Before Putting Them Back on his Face).......That's insanely impressive. (Gently Pats on Kirby's Head) Nice job, Kirby.

Kirby: (Smiles Brightly by Rilu's Gesture and Praises) Poyo!~

Riku: But my point still stands. (Crosses his Arms) I swear, those two could've at least given us two more teammates if they really wanted a fair challenge that-

'SPLAT'

Riku/Kirby: (Suddenly Taken Aback by the Light Green Colored Puddle of Paint That Came Out of Nowhere, in Front of Them) Huh?/Poyo?

Before either one of them could say or do anything else, a duck figure suddebly pops out of the paint puddle, into the air while frantically screaming for dear life.

Kirby: (Raises an Eyebrow in Confusion at Everything That is Happening Right Now) Poyo?

Riku: Wait. (Eyes Widened Once More as He Instantly Recognizes the Duck Figure) Donald!?

Donald quickly starts flapping both his arms to keep him from falling down any further....only for that idea to be shot down in a few measly seconds.

Luckily for him, another figure suddenly jumps out the paint puddle, catches the short-tempered mage in her arms, and landed perfect and safely on the ground.

Kirby: (Complete Strucked in Awe and Amazed by the Catch and Save Displayed in Front of Him and Riku) Poyooooo~

Riku: The- (Raises an Eyebrow at Kirby) Squid Sister?

Donald: (Hugs The Squid Sister Still Carrying Him) You saved me.......

?????: ('Sighs in Relief') And just in the neck of time too. You holding up okay, Donald?

Donald: Yeah- (Instantly Realizes What's Currently Doing Right Now) I-I mean! (Clears his Throat Before Crossing his Arms in a More Mature Manner) That was nothing I can't handle.

?????: (Forms a Cheeky, Teasing Smirk on her Face) Really?~ Then how come you were screaming like a little duckling seconds before I caught you?~

Donald: I-I was just.....practicing my vocal chords.

?????: Is that right?

Donald: Yep. That's the reason. I'm a lot of things. COWARD'S not one of them.

?????: (Playfully Rolls her Eyes) Never said you were one, Donald. People freaked out in these kinds of situations all time, there's no need to be embarrassed about that. (Gives Donald a Bright Smile on her Face) You'll always be a great mage in my eyes regardless.

Donald: (Heart Begins to Melt in Genuine Happiness) Awwww~ (Hugs His Life Savior) Thanks, Marie~

'Clears Throat'

Donald: (Turns to See Riku Slightly Smirking at Him) Riku! (Quickly Gets Off of Marie's Arms and Back on his Feet Before Giving The Young Keyblade Master a Sheepish Smile] H-Hello! It's been a while.

Riku: Likewise.

Kirby: (Happily Greets the Fellow Duo) Poyo Poyo!~

Marie: (Let's Out an Excited Gasps as She Sets Her Now Sparkling Eyes At-) Kirby!~ It's so nice to finally meet you in person. (Squat Herself Down to Kirby's Height Level) Cal and I are really huge fans of yours.

Kirby: Poyopoyo Poyo Poyopoyo!

Marie: ('Gasps') No way. You're a fan of me and my sister's work?

Kirby: (Happily Nodded to Marie) Poyo Poyo Poyo!~

Marie: (Eyes Widened in Genuine Surprise) And I'M your favorite out of the two of us!? I-I don't know what to say- (Happily Bows to Kirby) I'm so honored ~ (Smiles Sheepishly) B-But let's keep this between us, yeah? My sister can get jealous really easily these days.

Kirby: (Happily Rubs the Back of his Head Back and Forth) Poyo Poyo Poyo.

Riku: (Watches Kirby and Marie Chatting and Giggling Among One Another Along with Donald Standing Next to Him) So, you're friends with an actual celebrity now, eh Donald?

Donald: (Proudly Nodded) Yep. I helped hid her away in a nearby coffee shop, rabid fans, chasing her all day while back. We chat and drank coffee for hours on end, have a few things in common and we became best of pals ever since.

Riku: Neat. She seems pretty nice.

Donald: (Smiles Softly of his Bew Found Friend) The nicest. She's really cool too. Even more so than King Mickey!

Riku: (Raises an Eyebrow at the Royal Mage While Smirking) Is that right?

Donald: Yep! (Points at Riku Without Even Looking at Him) Don't tell him I said any of that.

Riku: (Crosses his Arms) Lips are sealed.

Maria: Hey, guys. Ypu mind coming over here fpr a second? Kirby wants us to take a quick group selfie.

Kirby: Poyo!

Riku: Sure. (Walks Over to Marie and Kirby Along with Donald)

Donald: Where do you want us to stand?

Maria: (Motions Donald to Come Over While Carry Kirby With One Arm) You, stand next to me- (Points to Riku) While you can stand behind the rest of us. Maybe kneel down a knee so I could get the full shot.

Riku: (Gets Behind the Group Before Kneeling One Knee Down) Like this?

Marie: (Simply Nodded to Riku) Perfect. (Turns Back to Kirby's Phone She's Been Holding Up in Front of Her and the Boys) Now, we're ready to take the picture in three.....two....one-

Marie/Donald/Kirby: (Puts on Bright Smiles as They All Blurt Out) STAY FRESH!~/ POYO POYO!~

Riku: Stay-

'Click'

The group phone is now shown on Kirby's phone.

Marie: (Takes a Look at the Picture Itself Along with Donald) Hm. This came out a lot better than I thought it would.

Donald: Finally. A picture where my eyes aren't closed for once.

Riku: (Looks Down at Kirby) What do you think, Kirby? Looks decent enough to you?

Kirby: (Happily Nodded) Poyo Poyo. (Turns Back to Marie) Poyo Poyopoyo.

Marie: (Smiles Back at Kirby as She Gives him His Phone Back) No, thank you for taking the time out of your day to greet us in return. I'm eternal grateful. (Turns to Donald) Ready to go, Donald?

Donald: (Simply Nodded to Matie) You bet-

Riku: Wowowoah hang on. I need a favor to asked you two.

Marie/Donald: (Turns to Each Other For a Brief Second) Hmmmmmm.......(Turns Back to Riku With Raised Eyebrows From Both Sides) We're listening.....

Riku: Kirby and I are playing Paintball Wars with the rest of our friends right now and it's me and Kirby against the four of them, completely unbalanced match up if you ask me by the way-

Marie: And you're wondering if Donny and I could team up with you in the meantime.

Kirby: (Surprised and Impressed by How Quickly Marie Managed to That Exact Conclusion Along with Riku) Poyoooo!

Riku: Y-Yeah, exactly-

Donald: Sorry. That's a no-go, fellas.

Riku: (Eyes Widened by Donald's Quick Answer) What? Why not?

Donald: Cause this is war. Can't go around teaming any randos you meet and see around here.

Riku: Rando- Donald, we've known and fought alongside each other for years now. That's a good enough reason for us to team up!

Donald: True, but have either of you ever been in a paintball fight before?

Riku: Well......No. This is our first time do this kinda thing actuall-

Donald: Then, there ya go! (Crosses his Arms While Turning Away From Riku) We don't work with rookies out here.

Marie: (Gives her Duck Friend a Bit of a Disapproving Look on her Face) Donald.

Donald: (Shrugs at Marie) What? I'm just saying.

Marie: (Sighs Before Turning Back to Riku and Kirby With a Softer Look) What my loud, stubborn, hard headed partner meant to say-

Donald: (Glares at Marie) HEY!

Marie: -Is that the two of us has already done this kind of song and dance together for a good while now that we hardly ever think about teaming up with anyone out there

Donald: (Wraps his Arm Around Marie's) It's us against the world and we're sticking to it to the very end.

Marie: (Happily Nodded to Donald) That's right.

Other Container: (In the Distance) Keep trail on the squid and duck's footprints, boys! They can't be too far from here.

Donald: Well, whaddya know? Those palokas are finally on to us.

Marie: ('Scoffs') About time. (Forms a Mischievous Smirk on her Face) I think it's high time we give 'em a warm welcome, don'tcha think?~

Donald: (Forms Mischievous Smirk of his Own) I thought you never asked.

Marie: (Turns Back to Riku and Kirby) Sorry, boys, but we're about to be pretty occupied at any moment now. You'd understand, right?

Kirby: (Happily Nodded) Poyo.

Riku: ('Sighs in Defeat') Yeah. Give 'em hell or whatever.

Marie: (Smiles Softly) Thank you. (Turns to Donald) You heard the man, Donny. Let the chaos begin.

Donald: Ohh boy!

Both Donald and Marie let out their respectively loud battle cries as they run out to their potential victims with their paint guns in tact.

Riku: And now we're back to square one. Joy.

Kirby: (Gently Pats on Riku's Leg) Poyopoyo Poyo Poyo.

Riku: True. We made it this far without getting hit. (Smiles a Bit) Our chance of winning might be in the rise so long as we don't get-

'Clicks'

Kirby: (Gets Startled Before Quickly Hiding Behind Riku's Leg)

Riku: (Slouches his Upper Body Down a Notch With a Deadpinned Look on his Face at the Very Group He Was Running Away From) Caught.

Sora: (Pointing his Paintgun at the Duo Along with the Rest of his Team) Hiya, fellas!~ (Puts on a Sly Smirk on his Face) Didn't think we'd find you this soon, did ya?

Pit: (Happily Pulls his Phone Out of his Pants Pocket) It only took one, teensy tracking chip on Kirby's hat, to get to you guys.

Kirby takes his hat off his head and finds a small red light blinking inside.

Pit: H-He gets lost pretty easily.

Kirby: (Puts on an Annoyed Look of his Very Own) Poyo........

Viridi: (Gives Kirby a Soft Sisterly Glare) Don't get all moody with us, mister. You know this is for your own good. (Points at Riku) And don't you even THINK about summoning your Keyblade again, wise guy!

Kairi: (Glares at Her Boyfriend) Damn right or so HELP ME, I am going to cry my entire eyes out! And we all know how much you hate that.

Riku: (Simply Nodded in Agreement) Very true. Not a fan of seeing ypu and Sora sad in general. (Looks Down at Kirby as He Receives a Silent Nod Frim Him Before Turning Back to the Others) But before we all do anything rash, I must ask you all to calm down, relax- (Picks Kirby Up From the Ground and Holds Him In Front of Him) And bear witness to this adorable child before you!!

Kirby: (Puts on the Most Adorable Look Imaginable) Poyo~

Pit: (Eyes Widened in Fear) Oh no. He's using Kirby's cuteness against us!

Viridi: (Trying her Hardest to Resist Along With her Everyone of her Teammates) That conniving, clever jerk......

Riku: Yeah, that's right. Adorable, isn't he? You wouldn't dare shoot him down, now would you?

Kirby: Poyo~ (Let's Out a Cute Giggle)

Kairi: (Trying Her Very Hardest Not to Crack Under Pressure) Stay strong, people! Do not give in to the cuteness temptation!

Sora: Easier said then that! I wanna hug him already

Kairi: (Turns to Sora) We ALL want to hug Kirby, Sora, but we still have a prime objective to complete, remember!?

Riku: (,Casually Shrugs) No shame in giving in now. We'd understand.

Kirby: (Happily Nodded in Agreement) Po-

'Ratatatat'

Kirby: YO!? (Gets Startled Before Realizing He Got Hit a Few Times on the Chest and Slowly Looking Up to the Culprit Himself)

Vantias: Whoops. (Casually Walks By) Sorry, my hands slip.

Kirby: (Eyes Widened in Disbelief at What Just Happened Before Jumping Off an Equally Suprised Riku's Grasps) Poy......Poyo Poy.......

The gang looks down at Kirby for a brief second before looking back at Riku, smirking at him again.

Riku: (Puts on an Awkward Smile) I-I'm.....that hit didn't really count, really? I mean, it can't possibly- ('Sighs in Defeat') Oh forget it-

Before Riku could even begin to finish his sentence, the gang wasted no time at all shooting him down with multi- four colored paintballs. It was a long time coming for sure, but after all these years of sulking, Sora and Kairi has finally beaten Riku at his own game for once.

[sora-has-no-vore-on-this-blog]

Story is under the cut so no normies will be scarred!

Amitie couldn't figure out exactly why Sig was behaving the way he was. Biting her hair gently, licking her newly dark orange-patched skin wherever it might be exposed, drooling sometimes when she was close... She was so confused.

She had ended up more nervous than she could've imagined after interrupting Risukuma's experiment. Her newfound powers reacted with the things he was using, causing everything to go horribly wrong and shrinking her to doll size. She was terrified of the possibilities, so she hid in an abandoned corner of the Magic School, hoping not to be found.

Unfortunately, that didn't happen, and she ended up being spotted by a curious explorer of the school. Fortunately, it was far from the last person she wanted to see. Those distinctly mismatched eyes told her exactly what she needed to know. It was her best friend Sig, and thank goodness it was someone so harmless. (Well, he could do a lot of harm if he wanted, but that was quite rare.)

He lifted her up to his face, taking care to be gentle, and tilted his head. "Amitie...?"

"...y-yeah, it's me," she muttered, not knowing what to say. Sig tilted his head, clearly confused and curious. He was also silent, simply holding the doll-sized girl against him. "Hey, don't tell a soul I'm like this, okay?" she finally said.

He nodded, opening his bag and placing Amitie inside. "You can hide here," he whispered. "But I gotta get to class quick, so hold on." And in a few seconds, Sig had closed his bag and begun dashing off to class.

"Sig, please try to get here on time next time." "M'sorry, Ms. Accord."

Sig took his seat, placing his bag in his lap. Amitie curled up, quite dizzy after being tossed around while Sig was running. Her head was still pounding. Perhaps it would be nice to take a nap. She began to drift, just barely hearing Sig's excuse for her absence before falling asleep to the sounds of his body at work...

She woke up in Sig's arms, cradled gently against his shoulder. He had a slightly worried look on his face. She could hear the sound of his loudly rumbling tummy, which was strange, because according to a clock she could barely read in the darkness, lunchtime was nearly over. Shouldn't he have eaten already?

He lifted her to his face and muttered, "Listen, don't tell anyone about what I'm gonna do here, okay?" She nodded, a little nervous, and he opened his mouth to reveal a set of fangs sharper than a knife. Then he did something that sent a jolt down her spine- he took her inside his mouth, headfirst. Tasting her body ever-so-delicately, and yet making her feel so uneasy...

She kicked her feet around, attempting to escape, but it was useless. Sig pushed her inside, her head now resting at the at the back of his throat, and she clutched her Puyo hat as he took the first swallow. No matter how hard she tried not to focus on her situation, it was everywhere around her, the tight passage of his esophagus threatening to crush the air from her lungs.

She squeezed her eyes shut as she approached the end, gasping for air as she was pushed out into a slightly more open space. A soft cyan glow from rippling walls filled her vision when she looked again, accompanied by the rather disgusting sight of chewed-up bits of rice and nori. She couldn't believe it. She was in Sig's stomach. He'd actually eaten her.

"I'm really sorry for that," he said quietly, his voice reverberating around her, "but you looked so delicious... I couldn't restrain myself any longer..." She started shaking, though unable to place why, and that's when she realized something. Although her hands were completely immersed in the juices, she didn't feel any pain aside from the lingering soreness from the passage. She saw a golden glow surrounding her. Were her powers protecting her from harm?

She wasn't entirely sure about it at first, but gently, Amitie reached towards the wall and ran her hand across it. Sig let out a small gasp, and soon began to purr as he rubbed back. "Forgive me for this, but I think I'll keep you in there for a bit," he whispered. "Don't want people discovering your state and all that."

Amitie could attest to that. With a small giggle, she closed her eyes to get some rest. The soft, satisfied growls the stomach around her gave off, a pounding heartbeat and steady breaths from above... She'd heard it before, but it was somehow even more relaxing from inside his body. Smiling, she let the harmony of life lull her to sleep.

[mirror-to-the-past]

So.... I bolted to the finish line of Dream Drop as I had nothing else to do today.

I am still collecting many thoughts, sentiments, attempts at analysis, etc, as I always do, but this game just had a lot to offer so I'm still weeding through the freshly tilled flowerbed that is my brain at the moment. Holy mother of run-on sentences (you're gonna see a lot of those).

First off, I wanna thank this game for doing so much for Sora and Riku's characters. The inverse development they had through the course of the plot was really interesting to follow, actually, and none of it's out of nowhere!

Since KH1, Sora's had the repression subplot and embracing the strength of others as his own. Here, he tried to do the same, but with everything that's happened to him since, all of which he doesn't even necessarily remember, and all of the emotions and memories he's been touched with and made more and more aware of- he's on shaky ground and the same ol' methods don't fit like they used to! Understandable! And Xehanort/13 Darkness gang just feeds into that. He expands on Sora's questioning of his identity, suggests the lack of validity of his emotions. Everything that could be used to describe Sora in a positive light in wake of what's happened to him, he finds a negative spin on it to really dig at Sora's core:

'You're confused about the direction your life has taken? Hm, wonder how much of you is even real. Your emotions? Memories? Could be fabrications. Or someone else's. Who knows...'

'Your heart is a refuge for lost souls, hoping to find a new future? Nah, screw that. Your heart's a prison. Your very existence binds people, Sora. And of course, you just love holding people back.'

'Aw, you follow where your heart leads? Cute. People's feelings have never led them astray before, huh? Why don't you just keep being a precious little idiot though, it works great for us.'

Xigbar particularly, was brutal as always. Loved the scenes with him and Sora in The World that Never Was. So well crafted. He towers over him, gets all up in Sora's business and you can see how uncomfortable Sora is. He pokes directly at Sora's two biggest insecurities:

Weakness; being incapable and helpless.

Not being wanted/needed, or dragging others down.

He goes on his whole spiel where he specifically highlights how Sora's pretty much leftovers. He acts like he's a good for nothing- "As if the Keyblade would choose a wimp like you." And childish for simply feeling the pain of others: "Oh... thank you, Sora's heart, for pushing him right into our clutches. Aren't hearts great? Steer us wrong every time." (Love that line) And Sora figures out that Nobodies have the capability of essentially learning to gain their own heart (CALLED IT, YES- BUT ALSO 😭 you poor guys. I think every party that could have benefitted either didn't care or didn't figure it out.), only to be further disparaged by Xemnas essentially being like 'Yeah, and then they got manipulated anyway, hah. Just like you.' Just two grown ass men bullying and gaslighting a teenage boy to heighten his insecurities. Because "possession" just seems to be a symbol for one losing themselves.

Xehanort as a character just gives those vibes of an individual who takes, takes, and breaks someone down until they don't feel like themselves anymore, becoming an extension of their manipulator. He preys upon vulnerability and lack of self assurance and it's so good, hah. So, that's the reading I find most appropriate for his thematic relevance, in relation to KH's continuous crisis of what makes up an identity. I mean, just look at how Xehanort describes the others they were considering as a dark vessel- Riku's "immune to the darkness," in other words, immune to obfuscation/has more solid connections. Roxas was considered as too driven, assured in his place in Sora's heart when he forged his own trial-by-fire path. Both people that came to peace with themselves and what they wanted through hardship, one way or another. Now, I'm not saying Sora hasn't felt hardship, but when your theme is "repression," he's up against amnesia, feelings of others encroaching on his own, and a lack of self evaluation. He has more of himself in others, at the moment, and that's leaving him vulnerable.

So, you can only imagine how Sora feels at the game's conclusion, denied a rank of Keyblade Master, those words lingering in his mind as one of the most recent things he's heard, near death(?) experience, and Sora had been filled in I'm sure on how Riku was endangering himself for Sora's sake. I'm sure he feels super great about all that.

(His "What do you want me to see?!" line after Roxas disappeared... haha... I'm well.)

Meanwhile, Riku. His whole arc was the polar opposite! By the end of this game, he was the most self assured than we've seen him the whole series! 🎉 Hooray! At least someone gets to be happy! :'D

But for real, *wow.* Personal quip, I doubt I need to go heavily into the queer connotations of Riku's journey to easier vulnerability and self acceptance, especially in this game, because I'm sure anyone who takes time to read this can probably see it, but wow. The way he learned to change his reflexes and actions throughout the course of the story in a number of small, meaningful ways was so sweet. It was cheesy, sure, but him openly laughing with the other teens in Traverse Town. Him admitting to the nature of his insecurities to help another, and then getting comforted by Esmeralda in return, who assured him it was understandable to have walls around his heart/keep parts of himself separate from the world when he was still unsure and figuring out his feelings (lines that drive me crazy, 2023). Him rolling his eyes at the "All for one and one for all," motto before reflecting on Sora's openness and inclusion, and deciding to give it a try, himself. So many little things where he learned to laugh and reminisce freely and it reminded me of the snippet of how he was when he was younger in BBS, which, speaking of- all those steps towards healthiness made it so that throughout the entire game, unlike CoM, where he fought in darkness with self hate, and Days, where he lost himself completely, he never battled with notable levels of internal darkness to try to win anything. He found his strength to protect the things that matter, like he always wanted, by being himself, unapologetically.

...I wish I played this game in middle school or something. Alas.

(Also Riku Dream Eater theory was a go, boys! Also like how there was no explanation other than *X. Heartless voice* "Yes adopted son of darkness, you were down so bad you changed species to protect Sora from bad dreams as soon as you subconsciously felt suspicious vibes." And that's all we're gonna fucking get, so deal with it *mic drop*. 😂 Was pleasantly surprised Sora's clothes were also plot relevant, and I feel better about disliking them now. They branded him, eugh.)

Speaking of being yourself, but perhaps being too many of yourselves, in this case, here's my obligatory "cries at the endgame" sentiments. This one was less hype than the others, but punched me directly in the heart instead. Oh. My. GOD? That whole sequence of Riku diving into Sora's heart (with all of his memories floating past? Lord I'd be so embarrassed if I was ever in such a situation- it's so personal, y'know?), entering its innermost reaches, answering the questions... holy guacamole guys I think I left a part of me on those sunset beaches, there. That whole scene was a KH1 reference with the questions (I answered in terms of how I best thought Riku would answer), Riku and Xion's sitting placements on the Paopu tree (also Riku saw Xion as Sora *fist pumps in sad success*), and I'm almost *certain,* especially since it was right before "What are you most afraid of" that my theory of Riku overhearing the Sora&Kairi dock convo in the first game was valid. I mean, just look at the dude's face after staring out at the sunset. M'boy Riku looked downright melancholy and I trust KH microexpressions with my life. (And speaking of microexpressions, Sora's smile looked suspiciously forced when congratulating Riku on becoming a Master, poor fella. He was trying so hard to be a good sport about everything with that messy situation.)

Dream Drop Distance did so much with how we're finally having all of the separate plot points converge and it was so surprisingly satisfying. Sora seems to be picking up more about Naminé, he's aware of Xion and is trying to figure out who she is. Roxas seems to be losing himself or doubting who he is outside Sora and aaaahh?? No?! My beautiful boy, don't do this, we'll get you out! I miss Axel, but we've got Lea, who keeps getting deadnamed (he got chosen as a Wielder by the universe for his troubles). I want to see more of Ienzo, he endears me, especially when he's told "shut up nerd" by Lea. Foreshadowing about Ventus (when he smiled upon feeling Sora's happiness with the Dream Eaters post-credits, something got me in my core about imagining Ventus experiencing all of Sora's joys and hurts while he grew up. I wonder if he'll feel any affection for Sora's friends as if they were his own, as well.). We finally got Ansem's data he implanted within Sora. Kairi is being brought back into the plot since KH2!! HYPE! *On my hands and knees*

Anyway this game was good. I probably have more to say because there was just so much but yeah.

Edit: Almost forgot the thing I groaned at my TV for earlier! ^_^

*ahem*

They composed a Heartsong and each of their hearts play a piece of a Duet version of Dearly Beloved, which is the Title Theme for the Entire Franchise, and Definitely Doesn't have any romantic connotations as a phrase or anything. Also they Definitely do not have a Two-Part-One-Whole Keyblade that isn't (so far, I'll catch up) explained, and is a phenomena not previously noted throughout the games, that has a Paopu Fruit hanging off the end.

Man, all this stuff tuckers an epic gamer out. Think I'll go replay Hades, Stardew Valley, Undertale/Deltarune as a break, considerably less gay games. (Har, har)

[themattress]

Clips from the videos I recently linked to.

Out of all the main characters, Nomura and Oka's writing in Kingdom Hearts III (and the preceding Dream Drop Distance + 0.2 Birth by Sleep for that matter) significantly derailed five of them, four of whom the video above discusses and the other whom I'll bring up myself.

Axel then: A deeply selfish guy whose pursuit of his own agenda above all else puts him into conflict with others, even his own friends. Has a fiery (heh) side but is usually cool and collected, with a dry, sarcastic sense of humor, and is very smart and calculating.

Axel now: Honestly still selfish but in a bratty petulant way rather than a mature interesting way, and the narrative pretends like this isn't the case and portrays him as this great guy and wonderful friend. He's also hot-headed dumbass whose style of humor is more "wacky", based in catchphrases and self-aware jokes. Yes, I'm aware he has a heart now, but that explaining the difference doesn't work when the series is now claiming he had a heart all along as a Nobody anyway! If Lea's gonna call himself "Axel", he oughta resemble him more!

Kairi then: Spunky and sassy. Prone to reckless actions due to following her heart without thinking. Will fight to the teeth against any enemy trying to chain her down and will always use her agency every chance she gets, even if it's simply sending a letter. While she obviously loves Sora, she cares deeply for others too and does all she can to help them.

Kairi now: Meek and polite, a "Yamato nadeshiko" type. Frantic and self-doubting, to the point of freezing up in combat. Greatest contribution is "believing really hard" rather than doing anything, and who will write a flowery love letter for the sake of it but never send it. Her care for others is de-emphasized in favor of her love for Sora, even though he barely if ever thinks or talks about her when she isn't right in front of him, making her look pathetic.

Riku then: Starts out as a rude, arrogant jerk who uses darkness and falls prey to it, ends up a still rude but humbled and considerate guy who overcomes his darkness and turns it into a unique power of twilight. At peace with following his heart more ("which is Sora-esque").

Riku now: Totally polite, nigh-infallible hero who just uses plain darkness, not twilight, without consequence. Acts like a dull stick in the mud who barely shows emotion from the heart.

Sora then: Just a regular kid/teenager. Could be kind of a dumbass but not to the point of chronic idiocy that's always being made fun of. Reacted proportionately to events around him and was prone to bouts of depression that he covers up with his usual cheerful attitude.

Sora now: More childish than he should be at his age. Stereotypical shonen Idiot Hero, to the point of everyone making fun of him for it. Reacts over-the-top and excited to everything, is seldom if ever depressed about anything short of people dying. "Weak" yet OP all at once.

Ansem, Seeker of Darkness then: Profoundly arrogant in order to cover for his insecurities. Feels as though everything he does is justified. Cares for no-one but himself + darkness.

Ansem, Seeker of Darkness now: Will openly admit to his insecurities and stow his pride. Knows and acknowledges what he does as evil. Apparently cares for "Subject X", and Riku to a degree, plus chides Ansem the Wise for his cold treatment of others. Seems on board with Xehanort's plan which evidently is meant to safeguard the worlds against darkness.

[sparklingmusicofstars]

Hamefura theory : What would everyone become if Catarina were to disappear ?

Hello ! I'm still working on the translation you asked but while I'm at it I also wrote a theory about that question that I saw on a whim. Honestly I was thinking about it for a long time so it's just perfect ^^

To be honest, I think that if Catarina were to disappear, I can't think about anything other than someone kidnapped her. The reason ? Her dark magic powers ? Her "ability" to see the future in her dreams (if someone happened to discovered it) or maybe just a noble fom a foreign country who took an interest in her ? We have many options. I personnaly think that if that happened, if anyone knew the reason nor where she is I think they would have these reactions :

At first they would look for her as much as they could, so much that they would stop eating and sleeping and even going as far as using dirty ways like bribing for some of them . I don't think they would ever stop, but if we have a very smart mastermind I don't think they could find anything. If that happened and that a long time has passed I think everyone's personnalites would change completely.

I think that everyone who love her would be prey to dark magic since Catarina was like the "sun" for them. Geordo would become a heartless, icy and merciless prince with eyes always empty. Keith would become calm, emotionless and lonely and like Geordo his eyes would always be empty . Alan would become a cold, irritating and selfish prince. Nicol would become a curt, insensitive and cold young man with empty eyes. Mary would be like Geordo, I think , and on the outside she would look like an emotionless doll with an artificial smile and (in the worst case) lose her strong will. Sophia would become the young girl she once was, calm, quaky and timid and with always a sad and broken look in her eyes, after all she would have lost her best friend two times and couldn't do anything about it . Maria would no longer be the cheerful girl we know but an emotionless, insensitive person with no hope in the eyes at all. I think she would also stop using her light magic because she would feel too powerless and useless for being aware of the danger but not being able to help her favorite person in the world despite all she did for her. I also think she would stop cooking because it would bring her too much painful feelings and memories. Sora would start drinking to hide his sorrow (I really hope I'm mistaken for this one) and like the others would become an emotionless, insensitive person with cold eyes, since he would have the feeling that he has lose his most important person a second time. Raphael would become a curt, emotionless and gloomy person since he has lost "the light that shines on him" and would start having his dreadful nightmares again. I think Anne would stop working for the Claes family because of the painful memories and all the servants and her parents would become insensitive and emotionless (especially her father who loves her a lot). Frey and Ginger (and of course all Catarina's fan club) would lose the person they admired the most but I don't known what would be their reactions. I don't really know for Cezar and Aaqil , Maybe Aaqil would no longer be the gentle and caring boy he is now, I think he would have a personnality similar to Raphael, gloomy, curt and emotionless and Cezar would have a personnality similar to Sora.

Ah, I think I'm done ! I know it's really sad but I really thing that it would happen as sad as it is. I'm just not really sure for Sora and Cezar's case. You can listen to his song while reading my theory, it's really touching ^^ Oh, and for those who love tearmoon empire like me, I really recommend it to you, the stories are similar.

[knarme-stray]

I have a soft spot for Sephiroth's real mother, Lucrecia, because she's like... A victim of the most toxic workplace bullshit ever, fell for a scary sexy guy (Hojo 🥵 like I understand this COMPLETELY actually,), and actually...

...No, she didn't make the bravest choices. She also didn't make very "good" choices either. Nightmarish environment, bad choice after another, also abuse she had no control over...

And after everything?

She hides herself and can't face the world.

Like yeah, she was just somebody in the system. Not a hero because a lot of people are too scared and traumatized and frozen to be "brave", or maybe in extremely authoritarian environment many people will just live in survival mode. Like everyone else making that system roll, she contributed to its evils, she is guilty.

I know she wouldn't be one of the most hated FF7 characters if she was a guy so pls let me love this flawed tragic woman pls?

Like. Idk what redeeming qualities she even has. She's like, just not some great person but what if her potential just never had a chance? Guess what, deadbeat losers are some of my faves.

Like... Genesis is also a badly written mess and has said things that almost sound like a school shooter manifesto (honestly the most unsympathethic thing about him) and his value system seems pretty reduced to just personal revenge etc., instead of allying with Avalanche against Shinra etc. more interesting paths to take... And look, I'm also a Genesis fan... I used to be completely obsessed with him actually. Frame by frame tried to analyse every bit of his screentime and what hidden symbolisms about his relationship to the other characters I could find in it... Even if just reading into it too much. <\3 But yes we love this BPD-ridden greater than life drama queen.

Something can have crap writing but you can still like it... Honestly many of the spin-off characters are like that. I think many of my favorite characters in any media are either very underrepresented side characters, or ones with a really juicy good idea about them, yet a bad execution. (*coughs* Seph's besties. <3)

(coughs. shakes Kunsel violently because I love him)

Also if we don't count Org XIII from KH, Namine is one of my faves too (despite how I've loathed reducing female characters to this kind of role all my life, - Namine just has themes about her I find somberly relatable and she has a significant place in the KH AU fanon that exists in my head).

She feels like she's defined by someone else whose shadow she exists in (Kairi) and kind of... Leads this somber lonely existence of disconnection. In that game where those lesb- I mean Marluxia and Larxene are the main villains, Namine's only close people who even talk to her at all are these... Abusive mfrs. She idealizes and loves Sora whom she doesn't even really know, also gets mega rejected too.

Like bro. I project a major "traumatized autistic teen who's preyed on by the only people who talk to her and who loves this boy she doesn't even really know" LIKE. RELATABLE. POOR BABY. NAMINE IS SO INTERESTING AND DESERVES EVERYTHING ACTUALLY.

And that she's soooo frail. She doesn't get much chances to really punch back, just like Lucrecia. Ah, the turning knife in wounds that is getting 0 justice. Being too frozen to fight bcs PTSD is a beast like that. Etc. Etc.

Like. Neither of these characters is exactly some power fantasy. Claiming more agency is something that often remains a suffocated hope, as you know, learned helplessness gets.

That's such a human experience whether you like it or not.

Pls don't be butthurt about me calling Genesis badly written, it really is my opinion about many things I love and enjoy. I like things. Oh my god.
