I finally found the scala ad caelum girls post, now I can add these two

[almost-correct-kh]

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

Xehanort: Okay, but what is updog?

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Xehanort: What's a henway??

Eraqus: Oh, about five pounds.

[kwoojii]

If Brain is Eraqus’s grandpa, this could mean so much angst for Brainlayer enjoyers.

Think: This could mean Brain falls in love with someone else. This could mean Brain has settled down with someone else. He settled down with his legacy engraved into history. One of the warriors who fought darkness.

But *not* Player.

Did Brainlayer ever realize their feelings? Did they fall apart somehow along the way? Did Player watch Brain fall in love with someone else? Do they look back fondly on their memories, reminiscing of what was and what could have been? There is no one to remember Player. No one to honor their legacy in a way that is right. Why didn’t Brain?

Let’s say your Player /does/ settle down with Brain. Then that just means Player grew into their old age leaving their home behind. Did Brain pass away first? Did Player have to abandon everything to take Xehanort to Destiny Islands? What about Player’s family?

What about Brain?

I’ve been having a really weird day with Remus (don’t get me wrong tho, this is all actually making me like him more 😄)

context 1 | context 2 | context 3

also here’s a key kid version cause why not!

[recusant-s-sigil]

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

[infinitelilith]

This seems like the type of shit that older Ephemer would wear at some point

[ok4ru]

Something possessed me earlier this morning and made these

[almost-correct-kh]

Eraqus: *Posts a super low-quality image to the group chat*

Bragi: If I had a dollar for every pixel in this image, I’d have 15 cents.

Eraqus: If I had a dollar for every ounce of rage I felt in my body after I read this text, I would have enough money to buy a cannon to fire at you.

Vor: Actually I did the math, Bragi would have $225, not $0.15.

Bragi: Fam I’m right here....

Xehanort: If I had a dollar I would buy a can of soda :)

Eraqus: while you’re there could you buy me an apply juice please?

Xehanort: Sorry I only have a dollar.

Eraqus: :( 

Vor: Hey I just realized Urd is right, Bragi would have $22,500 because it's a dollar for every pixel, not a cent.

Xehanort: If I had $22,500 I would buy a can of soda and an apply juice.

Vor: You can buy anything you want with $22,500.

Hermod: Yeah and he wants soda and apply juice.

Vor: Apply juice to what.

Hermod: Directly to the forehead.

Bragi: Great chat everyone.

[yayakoishii]

he's like a parent or smth, driving the kids back home on his flying bus?van?car? thingy 😭

I guess next chapter we will know the fate of the scala... I'm not ready to lose Mephisto 😔 I will miss him so much, but I'm also excited to see everyone from back home! Sullivan and Opera and Kalego and Balam and the abnormal class, all of them 🥹

[fisherrprince]

YEAH!!!!!!!!

(<- with the inflection of someone either very tired or hunched at a desk covered in sticky notes) put… dragons. in khml

[jewelielie-art]

Can I separate my two sources of brain rot? Sure.

Will I smash them together anyway? Absolutely.

See how my brain works under the cut

So hear me out. Missing Link is set in Scala ad Caelum, with plenty of white haired descendants of Ephermer walking around, and seems to have more star and universe motifs than the average KH specific world. I can totally imagine a young Siffrin as a keyblade kid before someone fucked up time and made everyone forget the world ever existed and took away colors. And Sif got hurled to another worldline with no memory of who he was or their keyblade.

Something something, Siffrin’s time looping is actually tapping into the power of waking and wish craft is the power of the heart something something…

[thetwilightroadtonightfall]

Still unsure about Sapphire’s design, but doing these lil mockups really helped me pin her down better!

I plan for her to be my missing link character and Roadie the key kid’s reincarnation, but I might do some revamps and other stuff if I change my mind later. Or multiple different versions of her might end up existing, who knows ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[firestorm09890]

it’s still very much a crack theory but if people are earnestly believing Demyx is the Master of Masters, why shouldn’t I lean into this one? anyway don’t take this very seriously

okay so

those lines from Ienzo’s character file where he says his childhood was extremely hazy, but his memories of Radiant Garden are perfectly vivid- ignoring how concerning it is that he considered his childhood over by the time he was in Radiant Garden, what you could take away from it is that he was from somewhere else before Radiant Garden that he barely remembers. I don’t think it’s just childhood amnesia (real term referring to how adults have a hard time recalling early memories) especially since Ienzo remembers his time in Radiant Garden perfectly clearly, it’s like a hard cutoff. Either way the implication he’s from somewhere else remains

And I'm willing to believe they'd put relevant lore hints in the character files because they DID do that for Demyx

Oh yeah, what is it that person used to say all the time? Something about a guiding key? Come to think of it, wasn't something guiding me?

anyway we know that traveling to a different world and a different time and losing your memories is a thing that can happen, thanks to khux. I don’t think Ienzo used an ark though, that’s been done already

Radiant Garden has some kind of connection to Daybreak Town, thanks to it also having arks, and a connection to Scala Ad Caelum, bc of the researcher attire staying the same, but we don’t know how. I’ve seen people theorize that RG is like a sister world to Scala, or the next step in the history of the same place, so RG is built on Scala which is built on Daybreak Town.

so here’s my shot in the dark that I’m choosing to believe until we actually get lore on how Radiant Garden is connected to those places: Missing Link era Scala had its apocalypse and somehow split into Dark Road era Scala and Radiant Garden (hey wait they’re both surrounded by water… curious), with the history of Missing Link being erased in both worlds. Ienzo was from ML Scala and… idk hid somewhere he shouldn’t have or something and he woke up way in the future in Radiant Garden and he didn’t get the Subject X treatment because 1) they found him before Xehanort was there and 2) he didn’t even tell them he couldn’t remember things. they just accepted that he wouldn’t want to talk about his past, he’s just a little kid who lost his parents

I’m calling it the Victorian Orphan Theory. and yes that is why I picked ML Scala, because Victorian Orphan Ienzo being REAL would be awesome

[enby-opera]

Okay so- start off with this.

It’s not that Kalego is being spiteful and petty and won’t raise Iruma’s rank

It’s that he CANT.

Which makes sense. There’s a total of 10 ranks and the teachers can get them halfway there to 5 before that’s all they can do.

For them to rank up any more than that they need to take a test and be approved by of one the crowns

As for the Scala itself.

The crown has to be impartial

It has to be beneficial to the netherworld

I was expecting it to be something like- take care of the next generation for X amount of time since we see him surrounded by a bunch of kids earlier in the chapter.

Or maybe something with training first years for the harvest festival? But that isn’t until after summer break?

BUT EITHER WAY NOPE

MEPHISTO SAYS YALL FOUNDING A COUNTRY—

YALL THIS WILL BE FUN!!!!!
