Can I write a summary of Kingdom Hearts after 11 pm?

Answer wound up being yes and no. This ended up being a lot longer than I planned but here's the list, with the full info under the cut.

Kingdom Hearts, the nightmare that started it all.

Chain of Memories, the second worst card-based RPG I've played about 4 different times.

Kingdom Hearts II, the Third Game which will confuse you if you skipped CoM.

Kingdom Hearts 385/2 Days, or the Cult's FF7 Crisis Core spinoff.

Kingdom Hearts: Coded, the phone game that no one outside of Japan got to play until they did.

Kingdom Hearts: Birth by Sleep, the Prequel that you have to play three times to beat.

Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance, or KH with Pokemon.

Kingdom Hearts X (Chi), or the MMO we wanted and regretted getting.

Kingdom Hearts III, the grand finale that said "screw you" to everyone.

Kingdom Hearts, the nightmare that started it all.

The prophesized hero turns out to be a self-absorbed shounen rival character, Riku, who dooms the world to escape his humdrum life and allows the eldritch demons into the global soul on the advice of a sketchy mysterious cloaked figure, Ansem. His idiot best friend Sora goes on an Adventure to save their best (female) friend Kairi and try to find one another. Mickey Mouse is a king, Donald Duck is a wizard, Goofy is a knight, and Pluto is slightly sketchy.

You hop between planets to get their plots back on the traintracks to their happily ever after in spite of the eldritch soul-consuming hell monsters called Heartless that can only be killed with the Mythical Weapon called a Keyblade and Magic (and apparently allies du'jour of said Keyblade).

Disney Villains are all in the know of the Heartless and use them for their own purposes. Except the Queen of Hearts. The Queen of Hearts is not enabling the Heartless to plague her world. Also Gaston. I think Gaston doesn't even exist in the series, honestly.

Finally you reach the hidden world where the Heartless plague is spreading from but Donald and Goofy go off with your now Asshole Rival Ex-Best Friend Riku who claims that he deserves the magic sword not you. So Sora and Beast (aka Prince Adam) get to fight your way through the crazy castle until you reach the place where Riku is dressed in the weirdest outfit seen on a teenager in a Square-Enix game (at that time). Turns out he's been possessed because the creepy shadow person talking to him was Bad News All Along and now seven Disney Princesses (one of which being Kairi because OF COURSE it is) are going to have their souls extracted to create a mega portal to Disney-RPG World Hell in pursuit of Disney-RPG World Heaven "Kingdom Hearts".

In order to keep Kairi safe, Sora have to destroy his own soul with the Keyblade. But she heals your Heartless so you're okay again. Why she never does this again is never explained.

You defeat the possibly Ancient Evil Ansem who turned into a giant hellship monster and then are forced to seal Mickey Mouse (what are you doing there?!) and Riku into Disney-RPG Hell to save the universe.

Chain of Memories, the second worst card-based RPG I've played about 4 different times.

After sealing your friend in Disney-RPG Hell, Sora walks along a lonely road with Donald and Goofy and I think Pluto in a randomly existing grassy field. Eventually you reach a three way fork in the road where some guy in a sketchy looking cloak is all "to lose is to find, to find is to lose, you may find your missing best friend here". Like the world's most obvious cult member.

And of course you go along with it because deep in your heart you know that they're really here.

Except this place is called Castle Oblivion and it works on Card Logic and Memories. No, really. It's kind of like Neverending Story II. Your memories are used to make special cards that either make weapons, allies, or full on locations.

The creepy coat cult do their mysterious villain thing and yell at a innocent girl with blonde hair named Namine and call her a witch. She live-edits your memories so that Namine copy-pastes herself over Kairi. It's a Relationship Sue plot but taken advantage of by the bad guys who all look like anime villains. Because her editing Sora's memories are actually being damaged and for meta-soul reasons it also effects people who've met your character.

The villains are killed off one by one and one of them, Axel, actually sets another on fire before he can spill the beans on why one of the memory locations is somewhere you've never been to. There's also Riku who seems to be having memory troubles too and is back in the dumb weird suit and you fight him because he wants to be the blonde girl's best friend and hero.

Meanwhile on the reverse side of the castle, turns out Riku is here after all and isn't the guy you're fighting with since they also fight while NotRiku insists that Darkness is Super Cool. Riku can now inexplicably smell the evil in the place and has to fight the lingering traces of Ansem - the guy who possessed him - and at one point Mickey Mouse left him for hecking dead over the dark evil magic in his soul. But its okay because Friendship.

Eventually you both reach the top floor where the master of the castle Death McFlower Reaper Marluxia wants to turn you into a puppet that'll only do what they want you to, but you are so determined that even if you don't remember what's real or not you will stop him.

And you do. Also, since I forgot to mention it, the copy of Riku died at some point and was revealed to be a imitation puppet made from memories of the guy.

Sora is sealed in a magic crystal pod to help stabilize your body as Namine reassembles your memories because she feels really bad about it.

Kingdom Hearts II, the Third Game which will confuse you if you skipped CoM.

The weird dreams from the first game are back but its some random school kid named Roxas dreaming about Sora. He looks very little like your guy, is dressed some kind of bandkid weird yet cool black-white-gray outfit with checkerboards everywhere.

He and his friends get into some really weird situations as they look into Japanese Urban Legend Mysteries of the city like haunted houses, eldritch locations, and strange reflections. Partway through strange monsters start invading your town and make a mess of things. They aren't Heartless but something else.

Roxas chases them into an abandoned mansion and finds a crack in a wall that leads to an exact copy of where you were. Turns out that your town is a simulation of a real town. That can magically be physically entered by outside forces. Don't think too much on it since its not the only digital world in this game. The other one is Tron.

It also turns out that you're the awake but missing soul, or a Nobody, of the first character who was used by the creepy cult from CoM's larger organization for... reasons. Unclear reasons but it involves your keyblade. And you don't remember it because of reasons. Also Roxas is forced to merge back into Sora, who wakes up with all his stats nerfed. The other Nobodies either look like anime pretty people or the new creepy eldritch monsters based on how much strength of will they have.

You spend the game doing KH1 plot again but this time the worlds have this big to-do regarding memory being a tangible force and the Disney villains are secondary to the evil cult. Of which Axel - guy who murdered the one about to spill-the-beans last game - is obsessed with getting his best friend Roxas out of your soul while Riku is determined to kick his ass because no that's HIS friend's soul, hands off. Also everyone thinks you're an idiot... even though you spent a whole year recovering from shattered memories.

The guy whose mansion you woke up in, DiZ (Darkness Within Zero... also DIZney, don't get me started on this), hates Namine and treats her like garbage, as well as hating Riku for falling for the dark evil magic, all because he is the actual supposedly evil science-king Ansem whose name was stolen by the endgame villain from the first game. Meanwhile Fantasia film Wizard, Yensid aka Disney Backwards, also has Problems but its more to do with relying on a kid. The only sane and kind adult in the know of the Keyblades is Disney's Merlin I swear.

Throughout the game you not only deal with the cult and the Heartless but also the surviving members of the Disney Villain group. Maleficent has become her own villain doing things across the worlds instead of sticking to one place. For some reason she has a bumbling sidekick minion in Pete the Cat.

You finally invade the husk-world that the cult uses as its base where the leader Xemnas is obsessed with the holy moon forged from millions of stolen souls freed when you and Riku murdered the Heartless the past three games. This moon is an artificial path to Kingdom Hearts built on murder. The cult believes that they can only get their souls back by reaching Kingdom Hearts. You kill their members one by one and then Real Ansem blows up the moon while trying to turn it into digital data.

Riku shows how cool he's gotten, Maleficent actually holds off enemies for you to go further in, you team up with Riku to kick Xemnas (real name Xehanort)'s ass, and then you learn that Namine is actually a missing soul fragment of Namine from when her soul was inside Sora and could only be created when freed from a soul with some measure of darkness which the Disney Princesses all lack... somehow.

Riku and Sora get temporarily stuck in Disney-RPG Heartless Hell only to get a way back to the real world thanks to Kairi. Somehow. Something something Friendship and Heart. Its all happily ever after as you all return to your homeworld. Only to get a mysterious letter from Mickey Mouse once again.

Kingdom Hearts 385/2 Days, or the Cult's FF7 Crisis Core spinoff.

So remember the cult from CoM and 2? This time you get to see your missing soul fragment's life during his one year of existence. The title is weird and hints at how much time you're playing around in in the game. Unfortunately there's a lot of timeskips in the plot.

Basically Roxas is running around from world to world murdering Heartless for company bucks which you then use to get better stuff to kill them harder with. Sometimes you get even harder special enemies. Mostly you're supposed to avoid the locals because they're not supposed to know you exist.

By being Working Salaryman Monster Hunter, your life is supposed to be so boring and so disconnected from people that you never learn the cult's purpose founded on a carefully build set of lies.

Shortly after Roxas does some missions with the cult members as support/mentors, you get a mysterious new member who you never heard of in the previous games. A girl named Xion who looks exactly like Kairi but with black hair and blue eyes. She also has a keyblade exactly like yours which is supposed to be impossible. Your murder friend, the red haired assassin Axel from CoM and 2, slowly warms up to both of these idiot children. Everyone else also slowly does although there's hints that everyone is seeing something different with the girl whose hood randomly goes up during cutscenes.

Turns out that Xion is a clone puppet just like Riku's in CoM. Except she's a girl when some people look at her and exactly like Sora to others and one guy sees a guy who looks exactly like Roxas but in clothes that look kind of like his amnesiac civilian outfit but are wildly different. Others see just a blank doll shape which is why sometimes her hood is up.

Xion is also slowly siphoning your strength because of magic reasons and she tricks you into killing her so not only do you have the strength to break free from the cult but also help save your other self. But because she was made from stolen memories, memories of Xion fade away leaving everyone super confused and making Axel EXTREMELY obsessed with Roxas due to all that friendship packed into one guy.

You fight against Riku who kicks your ass while blindfolded and drags Roxas to the mansion from KH2 because DiZ/Ansem has convinced him that the only way to help Sora's self is to glue the missing pieces back inside.

Kingdom Hearts: Coded, the phone game that no one outside of Japan got to play until they did.

Kingdom Hearts 1 but its a weird block puzzle game... except its not just the plot but you're all Tron-like NPCs running around trying to save the data from the digitized journal.

The journal is apparently sapient and chose an avatar based off of Riku. Maleficent's henchman Pete the Cat somehow Tron'd his way into the journal because Maleficent thinks that its a magic book she's trying to find and they apparently corrupted it with databugs to take it over. Mockery causes the AI Avatar of Sora to Pinocchio his way into having a REAL copy of the magic sword.

Over time Data Sora also repeats the plot of Chain of Memories and apparently the databug glitches were made by the journal's mystical connection to the real kid.

Mickey reverse-Trons himself back into the real world and some of the data people delete themselves and the whole game explained why Mickey sent the main character a letter at the end of 2.

Kingdom Hearts: Birth by Sleep, the Prequel that you have to play three times to beat.

Soooo remember the guy that looked a lot like Roxas but clearly wasn't him?

Game starts off with a flashback sequence where an old man dressed like the first game's villain (but with a shirt on) is watching him die because something happened that should've killed him. Instead his half-living corpse is tossed to the old man's best friend Master Eraqus or SquareEnix Backwards who looks like a wise if stern samurai dad.

Turns out that the keyblade people use to be a Jedi order of paladins with magic armor and some thing that could turn their magic swords into space-bikes. Now you're jealous of them.

You get to pick one of three characters to play as who have slightly different storylines while still running around the same worlds trying to solve problems for Disney characters and fix the inexplicably similar but different eldritch soul monster invasion. They're now called Unversed.

The shortest character is the happy carefree boy who looks exactly like Roxas. Ventus holds his keyblade backwards, plays the most similar to Sora/Roxas, and uses air magic and blitz strikes. The girl character Aqua looks vaguely but not really like an adult version of Kairi, is more of a mage than a swordsman so let's just call her a spellblade, and is closer to a shoujo hero (minus the romance plot) and just wants everyone to be happy and safe even if she has to kick their asses over it. The third character, Terra (not to be confused with FF6 Terra), is a very tall and buff offensive-heavy swordsman who favors earth magic. He is the shounen/seinen hero of the cast and a bit of a naïve doof.

The two older students take a test to prove their mastery of the keyblade and that they are ready to be called a master and roam the worlds helping them. There's three thrones but the other old master Yensid is not present and I don't know whether Merlin has a magic sword... probably not actually. But you have Master Dad Eraqus and Master Obvious Villain and guess who makes the test harder just to mess with you?

Master Obvious Villain, who is dressed like the Ansem and shares a name with the KH2/385 cult leader's real name from before he usurped Ansem's name and titles. Master Xehanort. The super obviously evil guy.

Aqua passes, Ventus cuts in to help save his friends, and Terra fails because he accidentally taps into the Dark Side of the Force.

They hop between worlds, doing the thing but with a new set of monsters and some new worlds. It's a case of each of them trying to catch up with each other and talk sense into one another over going home or getting help or finding the other one. It doesn't help that Terra keeps meeting the Disney Villains and and believes their takes on everything while Aqua and Ventus are being good heroes and occasionally lost but helpful nice people.

While Xehanort eggs people on, you run into the cult members while they were still alive and generally happier. You also run into a mysterious boy who's dressed almost exactly alike the time Riku was possessed by the soul-ghost of "Ansem". But with a helmet on to hide something. Vanitas keeps insulting people and is pretty much KH1 Riku all over again but with less reasons to be a jerk.

It turns out that Xehanort originally had Ventus spit his soul in half to make Masked Boy Vanitas who, without his helmet, looks exactly like an evil Sora instead because TURNS OUT that the reason why this Ventus looks Roxas is because when Sora was a literal baby, his soul offered to help heal the damaged soul of Ventus and that's why Ventus didn't die like Xehanort thought he was going to. Ventus and Vanitas are being set up to fight by Xehanort to make the ultra special holy magic sword keyblade "the XBlade" (read: ChiBlade, which sounds like Keyblade) in order to make a path to Kingdom Hearts. Yes its here again.

Also the monsters in this game are the soul-damage bleeding out from Vanitas since his half of the soul wasn't nursed back to health beyond making sure it didn't fall apart. Good job, Xehanort, you ruined one now two perfectly good boys at this point in time.

Now because this is a prequel you know this doesn't work. But because this is a prequel, I'm sure you wonder why you've never heard of any of these people.

Murder. The answer is murder.

Terra is tricked into killing Jedi Dad Eraqus, whose soul hops into him to help protect him from the evil magic slowly corrupting him. Terra is then possessed by Xehanort making him now look exactly like KH2/358's cult leader Xemnas... and loses his memories because Terra's soul is being already possessed by Eraqus so there's a constant war in his soul for control leaving the body with no idea who he is. It takes an already partially possessed cult member to help set things up in addition to all the nonsense going on in the background to keep the plan on track.

Ventus's soul gets damaged again and is lost, but actually goes off into Sora's soul to heal. This is why Sora has a keyblade at the beginning of the series because it turns out that the reason why everyone thought that Riku was the prophesized savior was because he was intentionally blessed with a keyblade by Terra for... some reason, probably to do with his desire to protect his friends. Sora has no idea he even has a keyblade until his world is torn apart by Riku out of impatience because he's been waiting for Terra to show up and teach him how to keyblade. This is how Fake Ansem convinces him to break the world.

Aqua meanwhile accidentally blessed Kairi with a keyblade, but she's so busy looking for Ventus and Terra that when she sees Possessed Terra nearly murder them, she ships off Ventus's soulless body to their home world which gets turned into Chain of Memories memory-card castle Oblivion for his body's protection. Then she goes to fight Terra and free him, only to get tossed into Disney-RPG Hell where she spends the next... ten years? Something like that, of nonstop fighting and struggling to survive there. It's implied to only have Heartless so your guess is as good as mine how she ate or if she ever slept. (Turns out Time is nonlinear in Disney-RPG Hell so some people spend long amounts of time there and others spend days but come out years later.)

Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance, or KH with Pokemon.

It's time for Sora and Riku to take their Master Jedi test! To do this, they are told by Yensei to enter a magical dream world where all worlds that are still trapped in darkness as they recover from the Heartless invasion are 'sleeping'.

For some reason this means there's magical monsters that look vaguely like Heartless but are actually some kind of Nightopian Nightmaren setup of magic soul fragments called Dream Eaters. Also The World Ends With You cast are running around the dream worlds like it is UG Tokyo. Which raises questions in my head about the Reapers and whether this means Joshua is an avatar of Kingdom Hearts.

For some even stranger reason, their test is a lot harder than the one given to the Birth by Sleep students. Like a lot. Terra and Aqua just had to prove their skill and self-control while slapping magic light with their keyblades. These guys are told they have to save seven sleeping worlds instead. In spite of all the times they've saved the entire universe as well as directly saved the worlds.

This is the game where I start to hate Yensid.

Sora and Riku now in addition to running around the forgotten worlds and sleeping memories have to fight Fake Ansem, Xemnas, Master Xehanortt, and some mysterious teenager who are all there to gatecrash the test once again because it worked in Birth by Sleep. While fighting them, it turns out that the Xehanort has access to time travel magic and that's why every version of himself was working towards the same goal of reaching Kingdom Hearts off the deaths of every single being in the universe if necessary. The teenager is his past self. Young Xehanort.

The real goal of the cult is to make perfect host bodies for pieces of Xehanort's soul. To this end, this requires a weakened will and/or incomplete soul that he can suppress and fill with his own. He plans to turn Sora into his latest host since Riku has been successful in keeping him out.

Meanwhile in the living world, it turns out that murdering the Heartless that has someone's soul and then murdering their Nobody makes their real self alive again. So the cult's members who you killed are back to their real selves. Most of the fans' favorites are alive and looking for the missing members. Also Queen Minnie Mouse was kidnapped by Maleficent to blackmail Mickey Mouse into giving her access to the Journal again only for her to get inexplicably beaten up by the Revived Axel who had zero business on that world.

Mickey gets into the dreamworld in time to help stop the resurrection of Xehanort because at this moment he's still kinda-sorta dead. The plan with the hosts is to create the holiest of keyblades by forcing hearts of pure evil and hearts of pure light to fight in the hopes that that will make the holy keyblade appear and thus lead him to Kingdom Hearts because he wanted to see the super keyblade having heard stories of the keyblade war. We all want to see the Keyblade War but he took it too far.

In spite of doing nothing wrong and being in a coma during this whole encounter with Xehanort, Yensid claims that Sora screwed up and doesn't deserve the title of master yet gives it to Riku. Also it turns out that the Assassin Friend Axel now has a keyblade. Because of course he does.

Which is perfect because they need seven keyblade users to fight the thirteen superdark hosts of Xehanort. Which... just plays into the villain's hands.

Kingdom Hearts X (Chi), or the MMO we wanted and regretted getting.

We always wanted three things: To see the keyblade war because it sounded really really cool. A game where keyblade players got to fight. An MMO where we got to explore the worlds with friends. We got it. As a gacha mobile rpg where we were told that one of the five player factions was led by a lying traitor to Ancient Past Keyblade Jedi Leader and pitted against each other to see who got the most light fragments.

The fact that each of the faction leaders were all named after the Seven Deadly Sins while also taking design cues from our favorite Keyblade Characters did not help one bit.

Leopard was led by a boy named Gluttony who looked like Roxas/Ventus. Unicorn by Not-Riku whose name sounded like Wrath. Snake by Aqua "Envy". Fox by Kairi "Greed". And "Sloth" Terra leads Bear. Since one faction being led by a villain would've made at least a tenth of the playerbase complicit in villainy, instead the traitor was a mysterious sixth apprentice Luxu or Light or maybe a reference to Lucifer and the whole thing was arranged on purpose by the master whose keyblade looks suspiciously like the Xehanort's right down to the evil eyeball.

All faction members (who are all children) are given a magic not-moogle cat monster that help them as they run around fighting monsters that should not exist at this point in time.

It turns out that suspicion has caused the apprentices to turn on each other an that there's a whole Puella Magi setup with the monsters you're fighting being fallen corrupted members of the factions whose hearts have been consumed by dark magic.

It also turns out that the Keyblade War was fought between the factions over who was the traitor. The player character is offered a chance to go to the future in the hopes that scattering a few selected faction members whose loyalty and skill have been proven can help save the future from destruction.

Fun fact: it turns out that the player character, regardless of what faction you're in, is reborn as Xehanort. Some members are tossed into the future but become the villain's cult members such as Marluxia. Also the whole game is a data copy preserved in a different magic book that seems to be the one Maleficent has been seeking this whole time.

Kingdom Hearts III, the grand finale that said "screw you" to everyone.

Because I don't have a PS4/PS5, I've yet to play this one. That said I know some key facts anyway because of spoilers.

Sora is treated like crap and taunted by everyone because he was almost possessed by Xehanort, in spite of him doing more than anyone else to save the worlds while everyone else who did get hurt or possessed by Xehanort were also played by Xehanort so that's a weird hangup to have. The Grande Finale involves everyone involved in the main plot, although most of the Final Fantasy cameo characters are no longer in use for some reason. Sora, Riku, Kairi, and multiple ex-cult people all have keyblades. Aqua gets pulled out of Heartless Hell but she had turned Dark for a moment, Terra's willpower possessed armor the optional boss from KH2 who we see form in BbS shows up to bodycheck his villain possessed body, Ventus wakes up, Vanitas is still around.

By the way since Heartless Hell is nonlinear, this means that anyone chilling out in it - Riku, Mickey, Sora, Real Ansem, Xemnas, Roxas - could've saved Aqua at literally any point in time. Its not even a question of keeping the timeline secure since characters can and do abuse time travel. Mainly Xehanort but there are a couple bits by the heroes like in KH2 when they hop between Disney Castle World and Steamboat Willy River. Sucks to be her.

Actually all the characters who supposedly died or were lost are back. All of them. A lot of them are possessed by Xehanort as his new host bodies. Others are brought back from the dead at the end of the game even when they already exist (ex: Axel and his original self Lea, while Xion and Namine and Roxas all gain their own existences).

Xehanort turns out to have been Good All Along and has had good reasons for trying to destroy the universe. He and Eraqus go off to Kingdom Hearts or some other happy afterlife hand-in-hand.

Sora, meanwhile, pretty much kills himself saving everyone so he's even more of a Messianic figure in the series than shounen protags tend to be. Goofy almost dies and Donald whips out Zettaflare - a power that outstrips anything seen in any Final Fantasy game before.

In the end it also turns out that the character helping keep Xehanort's plot on track was Luxu all along. Also the Union Faction Leaders are back, thus setting up the next arc of God knows how many more games. Which begins with a music-based rhythm game and possibly also Super Smash Bros Ultimate.

Conversation

Shaky-Mayhemm's AU

Mickey: *Going over some royalty thing* And that's why you will have to do that Sora when you are king.

Riku: *Who was brought along* Your Majesty, with all due respect, I have a question. Why was I brought along on the Prince’s royal lessons? I thought the lessons were only for the future rulers.

Mickey: You don’t think I know you are fucking my son. Aqua told me many things you do with my son. Since you are with my son it’s very likely you are going to be the next king, so you need to know this stuff too.

Riku:

Sora:

Mickey: Anyways where was I?

AU where Mickey adopts both Riku and Namine and converts one of the guest rooms in the castle into a personal room for them to stay in.

- They both have their own twin sized beds. Mickey had them pick out sheets. Riku's has a frick ton of yellow while Namine's has pastel colors (she tried to buy white sheets, she did, but Mickey insisted she get something more colorful)

- The room stays impeccably clean for days. Riku keeps everything cleaned up like the responsible kiddo he is, while Namine is simply not used to having her own space. Too used to trying to be small and not take up space.

- The room ends up covered in sketchbook pages anyways. Riku doesn't want to throw them out, so sometimes he gathers them up and puts them in a drawer for safekeeping. Better than stepping on them

- After realizing that most of the castle was much more stylized than their room, Riku and Namine decide they wanted to stylize their room more to fit in.

- They draw on the walls. Riku's drawings are worse than Namine's but he enjoys drawing with her, embarrassment be damned

- Riku, ever the knight in shining armor, decides to get snacks for them in the afternoon, after dinner's been cleaned up but Namine wants to eat chips. It takes long minutes of planning and mapping out where everyone is and when, but he manages

- Mickey catches him anyways. It is with mild confusion that Mickey tells Riku that he can take snacks from the kitchen whenever he wants. Riku is Shook

- Sora is allowed to stay in the guest room. Upon realizing that Riku has his Own Room, however, he Desperately wants to see what it looks like. he gets denied. no one can see Riku's doodles. not even Sora. that secret will follow him to his grave

- Of course Namine and Mickey and Minnie realize why Riku doesn't want Sora, Kairi, Donald, or Goofy to see, but they pretend it's something more serious. Adults need their personal space, of course. Namine's worse at hiding the reason, partly bc she wants Sora to see all the pictures in there, but she respects Riku's needs

- They brush each other's hair in the morning. Sometimes Minnie brushes it for them.

- They also have the bad habit of staying up late. Darkness isn't easy on either of them, and it's when their heavier talks happen. Sometimes they'll end up sleeping cuddled together, for some sort of contact.

- Riku has a Mickey shaped night light. No one can ever know

- Riku and Namine are technically a prince and princess and dO YOU KNOW HOW MANY AUS CAN COME FROM THAT. PRINCE RIKU. PRINCESS NAMINE.

#kingdom hearts #kh #riku #namine #namiku #and soriku to a lesser extent #yeah I'm thinking about Riku lauding his prince status over Sora #sora being indignant #an apology kiss on the cheek despite riku regretting nothing #mickey mouse #I am WEAK for Riku finding a safe space in Mickey and Minnie #and making a safe space between himself and Namine #it gives them both a chance to be vulnerable #which is what both need in order to grow #plus a mouse dad #anyways

So apparently, if you want some new followers, just reblog nothing but pictures of Walt Disney for a 24hr period. xD

Jokes on y’all. That was a special birthday thing. Now it’s nothing but crappy Mickey Mouse doodles and reblogs of un-funny Disney posts that I find funny ‘cause I am easily amused.

Oh. And lots of headcanons about King Mickey adopting Riku. 'Cause I have problems.

Get out now.

#Walt Disney #Mickey Mouse #crappy doodles #un-funny reblogs #King Mickey Mouse Dad #Prince Riku Mouse #Kingdumb Hearts #Yep. That is the ''quality'' content to expect from this poor excuse of a blog.#Oh. And sometimes Oswald.

KH OC week- Day 2

“Who’s important to your OC? Who makes them who they are? Do they have friends, enemies, a significant other?”

Kaji doesn’t have as many friends as Sora, but he has a few people who have a special bond with.

Most special people for Kaji, besides his beloved mother, are Max and Fethry Duck.

This is an old drawing and I don’t like it so much anymore, but it’s the only one coloured I have, so...

Max, Goofy’s son, born shortly after KH3, is Kaji’s best friend since they were babies. Kaji as a child is afraid of almost everything, but Max is an exception. Kaji and Max liked each other since they met for the first time and they love spend time together playing. Sometimes, Goofy brings his son to play with Kaji in RG, other times is Kairi (or, better, Riku), who brings Kaji to Disney Castle where Max lives.

And, the first time Kaji visits Disney Castle, he and Max meet Fethry Duck. Fethry Duck is an almost unknown character in most of the world, but in Italy he’s very famous and loved, and appears in many, many Mickey Mouse comics. He has a similar personality to Goofy’s, but even more stupid than him, more unlucky than Donald, and a famous Italian joke refers to him as if he were always on drugs, because of all weird faces he makes in the comics and stupid things he says (his name in Italian is Paperoga; “droga” means “drug” in Italian; so the joke calls him “Papedroga”, fusing the two names).

Fethry is barely beared in Disney castle, even by his own cousin, and he, thinking about himself as a very intelligent duck, immediately tries to befriend the two little ones showing them all the strange things he thinks he can do (another Fethry personality trait, expecially when he was just created, pictured him as a guy with many weird interests, like yoga, from that his Italian name. Usually this personality trait is separated from the “stupid and unlucky” one, the first is American and the second is Italian, but in my story I fused them together).

Donald at first tries to keep Fethry far from the two children, because he is afraid his cousin could infect them with his stupitdity, but Fethry is a very charismatic guy in the eyes of two small children, so they quickly become friends, and remain close friends even when Kaji and Max are grown up.

So, their friendship mirrors a bit the friendship between their fathers and cousin, even if their personality are different.

The other important person for Kaji is Riku.

Riku has lived separated from Kairi for a few years because an argument they had when Kaji wasn’t even born, but they meet again when Kaji is already four and they make peace.

Riku notices immediatly how Kaji is small, weak and coward, and how neither his mother is able to train him, because Kaji is so little she isn’t able to be severe. How could a weak and coward person become a good prince? So he decides to pick him up and train him by himself. Riku is a Keyblade Master and Kaji is his first pupil, even if he hasn’t got a Keyblade. Riku subjects Kaji to a very hard training, and at first the child is frightened by him and it seems the training doesn’t work, but Riku doesn’t give in, and keeps training him for a whole year. He tries even to make the inheritance cerimony when he sees Kaji’s body is a little more strong, hoping the Keyblade will choose him one day. But, even if Kaji’s body is stronger than before, his heart is still weak.

Riku usually trains Kaji on RG islands near the city, where, in summer, wildfires aren’t rare. The islands are inhabited by farmers, who live in small villages. One night there’s a wildfire in a village in an island near the island where Riku and Kaji were resting. The fire quickly surrounds the houses, and the subjects are trapped. Riku know there’s no time to wait help from the city, and he tries to extinguish the fire by himself, but alone he can’t make it and the people soon will die if they stay there. He finds a point in the wall of fire where flames are less intense, he could concentrate his water attack on that point, and people could get through that passage. But people inside are far from that point, and he doesn’t know how to give them instructions. So Kaji, silent and frightened until that moment, when he sees that wildfire he was named after, has a kind of epiphany and, without listening his master, jumps through the flames to reach the farmers. They see him like he’s materializing from blazes, and from that moment they begin to build in their minds the legend around him. So Kaji can finally tell them Riku’s plan, and all of the farmers obey him and are saved. For the first time he speak to them like a prince should do with his subjects. Kaji, after that, obtains his Keyblade, because now his heart is strong, and his personality is now starting to begin like the one of a real prince.

So, from that day, Riku can train Kaji properly, and Kaji in the years becomes more and more strong, brave, fierce and skilled. At 16 years old, he’s the strongest fighter in all Radiant Garden (Riku is obviously stronger than him, but he doesn’t live in RG).

Even as a young adult, when he doesn’t need him anymore, Kaji keeps a great respect towards his master, and sometimes he still spends time with him to fight and train. Riku is the only person Kaji bows to, even when he’s the ruler of his kingdom.

KHOC Week 2020 Day 4: Treasured Memories

its time for more of my girl iris @khoc-week also i really appreciate all the feedback that i am getting <3 please feel free to send me an ask or message me if ya wanna know more uwu

What does your OC treasure most? Is it a memory? A trinket? How and why is it special to them?

As for what Iris treasures most, I would have to say that the majority would be memories. She does have a few trinkets though.

As for Trinkets, she is fond of her piano. Does that even count as a trinket lol This piano was found in the Haunted Mansion in Twilight Town. While she was staying there with DiZ, she went ahead and claimed it as her own. Iris can have trouble fully expressing her feelings and finds it’s easier to do through music or art. Another is an art set she received from Mickey at a young age. The mouse could tell the girl was, albeit bright and cheerful, also incredibly lonely. As Mickey was about to set out on his own adventure to become a Keyblade Master, he gave her this and let her use it how she saw fit. Which incidentally was drawing all over the walls. At first, his reaction was shock, but he looked closer at the little doodles and how happy Iris looked and said “Ah, what the heck? Just ask before you draw somewhere.” As she grew she started to draw in more suitable places, like a sketchbook. You can still find remnants of her drawings on the walls in Disney Castle and her room there, faded from time but not gone. Mickey and the castle residents quickly learned that this girl lived in a world of her own making, and as for what goes through that head of hers is anybody’s guess. She also collected things like rocks and other mementos from the Worlds she had visited, so she never forgot.

She has quite a few fond memories from her days in Radiant Garden. Most of which involved her and Ienzo. Being rather close in age they tended to gravitate towards one another and even if Ienzo wanted otherwise, Iris wouldn’t leave him alone. She felt like a big sister to him. When Ansem or the others were too busy, she would take Ienzo to get ice cream and show her favorite places in the Garden. They ended up being the kind of friends that don’t really need words to communicate, and enjoyed the silence they shared together. Iris also recalls seeing a bright young girl picking flowers with her Grandmother. Iris was fascinated by this girl, who she later realized was Kairi, but was too shy to approach her. Kairi was so bright and lovely and warm to watch, and Iris didn’t want to dull that glow by forcing her to be friends with her.

Another memory she could never forget was when she met a cute boy at The Mysterious Tower. She recalled many visitors, but no one noticed her like he did. Iris, being the enigma she was, immediately took to Ventus. She found Ventus cute and wasn’t afraid to let him know. Can you imagine being hit on by a little girl? Like aggressively hit on? Iris was a pretty unique kid. She forced him to play with her while he was there and they played all day. Iris doesn’t know if Ventus remembers her or not, and she honestly kinda hopes he doesnt because she saw herself as so embarrassing at that age. Iris was more open as a child and wasn’t afraid to declare Ventus her Prince Charming, right to his face. He didn’t get a choice, Iris has decided this now. If Ventus were to bring that up now, she’d die of embarrassment. We all have those awkward years, right?

Aside from those very specific memories, Iris also cherishes many other tiny memories she’s made; Drawing with Namine, and singing to her. Desperately wanting to hang out with Riku, even though she felt like a nuisance to him. Coming up with Blueprints for Gummi Ships along with Chip and Dale. Enjoying afternoon tea with Queen Minnie and Daisy. Repeatedly writing the word Xion in her sketchbook without knowing why, just that it was important. These were tiny, little, insignificant, and seemingly normal days that Iris will always hold close to her heart.

#khoc-week #khocweek2020 #kingdom hearts oc #iris is such a little oddity she might as well be from a whole new world all together #a world that's her own

@lethargic-hunter sent: “Why do I hear boss music?”

Where are the people who accuse me? The ones who beat me down and bruise me?

Hidden among the shadows the Prince of Darkness crept hidden from view. All that was visible of the one who controlled both Darkness and Light was his piercing, aquamarine eyes. They WATCHED his prey as a devious smirked danced on his lips.

They hide from out of sight, can’t face me in the light. They’ll return. . .

The Prince summoned his Keyblade, creating a flicker of light that caught his prey’s eyes, forcing them turn toward where he was going to emerge in the blink of an eye.

. . . but I’ll be stronger.

Sure the moon that rose from behind the horizon every night, Riku stepped into the light with his Keyblade armed and ready. DETERMINATION, loud and prominent, shined bright in his eyes as he eyed his prey. Step by step he emerged from the shadows to reveal his muscular frame decked out in indigo, white, black and grey.

Now, I am unbreakable, it’s unmistakable.

Without giving his prey a chance to make a move, the innocent little mouse that Riku was about to rip to SHREDS, Riku charged forward before slashing his Keyblade in front of him as he took his first strike.

No one can touch me. Nothing can stop me!

SONG: UNBREAKABLE BY FIREFLIGHT

Part 11: It All Ended With a Mouse

While the Kingdom Hearts series was conceived as a crossover between Disney and Square, the addition of Final Fantasy characters was a late one and, while welcome, clearly wasn't the main draw. The main draw was being able to play around in the worlds of Disney movies, see which Disney characters get crossed over with one another, and battle Disney villains alongside Disney heroes.

Key word there: WAS. After the KH Trinity, the prominence of Disney became drastically reduced to a genuinely shocking degree.

In Days, Roxas barely interacts with the Disney characters inhabiting the worlds he goes to, he never has any Disney hero party members to fight alongside, and the only Disney villain he fights is Pete.

In Coded, all of the Disney stuff are pure regurgitated rehashes that are infected with technobabble data nonsense, and in the last chapter it turns out that none of it mattered anyway and was just there to fill time until the KH-original plot took prominence.

In BBS, the only Disney worlds with even minor importance are the worlds of Snow White, Cinderella and Sleeping Beauty, and that importance only comes between awkward re-enactments of the movies' stories with the KH-original heroes shoehorned in. Disney Town is a minigame filler world, and the worlds based on Hercules, Lilo & Stitch and Peter Pan have new stories but they don't really connect with the main one at all and are just there to give the heroes something to do between the midpoint of the game and the climax. There are also no permanent Disney party members in any of the worlds, only occasional guest allies like Prince Philip, Hercules and Experiment 626.

In 3D, all of the Disney worlds are filler that recycle their movies' plots; the only important things to happen all transpire in KH-original locations.

In UX, it's more of the same, with Disney worlds being backdrops for fights and the movies' stories to play out while the actual important plot only happens in Daybreak Town and is solely driven by KH-original characters.

KH3 is the most complicated case, since due to it being such a big release the Disney characters, worlds and elements are given more prominence than they've had in ages and more interaction with the KH-original stuff, but when looking at the world visits only the initial one to the Hercules world has any purpose to the overall story. The rest, regardless of whether they rehash the movie's plot or have new ones, have no in-story reason for Sora, Donald and Goofy to be visiting them, and the things that the Organization members get out of being there are usually incredibly vague and ultimately don't really matter to the climax of the game.

For comparison's sake, every Disney world in the original KH was important to the overarching plot in some way or other, none of the stories in those worlds were direct rip-offs of the movies' but just shared elements with them, and many Disney characters played prominent roles such as Maleficent's alliance of villains and the Princesses of Heart. Being important to the main plot admittedly meant that some aspects of these worlds and characters went underdeveloped, but that's the main draw of COM: as with all of the world visits being filler rehashes of the first games' with the ties to the main plot removed actually mean that those aspects that went underdeveloped before get to be more fleshed out.

And while KH2 started unfortunate trends by having a third of the world visits rehashing the movies' plots and half of them not connecting to the overarching plot, there were still some obvious exceptions: major advancements in the story transpire in the worlds based upon Mulan, Beauty and the Beast, Hercules, Pirates of the Caribbean, and Tron, not to mention at Disney Castle / Timeless River. Even the filler visits usually had a thematic purpose for existing, there was a clear reason as to why Sora, Donald and Goofy were visiting those worlds, and not having members of the Organization in every world was a wise decision in retrospect because it allows the Disney villains their chance to shine and 3D and KH3 have proven how utterly tiresome it is to be met with a monologuing asshole in a black coat in every single Disney world you play around in.

But even outside of the Disney worlds, the Disney elements in the KH series gradually suffered. The KH-original concepts, characters, and storylines used to be created with Disney in mind, providing the "Final Fantasy game set in the Disney universe" feel that they were supposed to. Keys and keyholes are a long-standing Disney signature, hence how naturally the Keyblade fits in a Disney game. Gummi Ships call the Gummi Bears to mind. The Heartless often feel like something out of Fantasia, Organization XIII share direct parallels with the cursed pirates from Pirates of the Caribbean, and Nobodies are basically like grim grinnin' ghosts from the Haunted Mansion (and hey, DiZ's Twilight Town headquarters is outright called "a haunted mansion"!) And just when you think Matrix-esque datascapes are too weird for Disney, the game goes and reminds you that they made Tron.

Now, however? It's just plain JRPG nonsense, none of it feels like it connects with Disney and as such is usually kept as far apart from the Disney elements as possible. This means that the KH universe now longer feels like a single, unified world like it did in the KH Trinity: it feels like the world of Disney and the world of Square existing separately within the same game and only occasionally crossing over with one another...usually through the Square elements and characters interacting with the Disney ones, but not vice-versa.

Then we have the Disney characters who used to be important but no longer are. Donald and Goofy barely did anything of significant value between KH2 and KH3, they were just there out of obligation. And while KH3 brought them back into prominence, the ending doesn't make me hopeful that this will continue in the near future. Jiminy Cricket also receded into the background after Coded and until KH3. And Pluto hasn't really done anything since KH2, even though he made a much better partner to Kairi than her former kidnapper!

But the most egregious example would have to be Maleficent and Pete. Maleficent was one of the original game's biggest villains next to Ansem and Riku, and she was resurrected in KH2 and given an arc that promised great things for her in the future, alongside her minion Pete who was that game's most recurring antagonist. And yet they have accomplished absolutely nothing since then! Their time as the main villains of Coded proved to be filler, their one scene in 3D was bizarre and inconsequential, and they literally spend all of KH3 on the sidelines looking for a mystery box and never claiming it. Two of Disney's greatest, most iconic villains - turned into a bad joke.

The ONLY Disney characters who have remained consistently important past the KH Trinity are Mickey Mouse and Yen Sid, the former being considered one of the core group of Keyblade wielders and the latter being the Big Good who assembles all the other heroes to fight Xehanort...basically the Nick Fury of the series.

But they got screwed up too! Yen Sid was turned into an unlikable idiot in with his insistence on Sora and Riku taking an exam that isn't really an exam at all in order to prove themselves worthy of the Keyblade Master mantle despite them having already done so, then flunking Sora for falling into a trap that he didn't see coming either, and then not allowing him to help Riku and Mickey save Aqua until he'd unlocked the Power of Waking...only for Sora to eventually go and save Aqua without that vaguely-defined power anyway!

And poor Mickey ended up looking like the biggest asshole when 0.2 BBS retconned it so that he met Aqua in the Realm of Darkness during the original game's climax, knew she was trapped down there, and then did absolutely nothing and told absolutely no-one until it was convenient for him. Anti-Aqua even drags him for exactly this in KH3, and many players agreed with her! This seems like the exact kind of thing that made Disney not allow Square to use Mickey in a large capacity in the original KH!

Back during the KH Trinity, there was a man in the production team named Eri Morimoto, and it was said that he was famous in the company for his love of Disney. He even was able to stand up to Nomura and tell him if he was doing something Disney-related wrong. But he never showed up in the credits of any KH game following KH2 because he left Square shortly afterward, and it was all downhill for how Disney elements were handled from there.

At this point, the Kingdom Hearts series is just another Nomura series that just happens to feature Disney in it, and that's not the series I signed up for.
