-------------------------------------------

Drawing of if Terra was a 'teddy':

Terra (now): "Why have you given me such a big arm on one side in that picture? Is it to replace using my keyblade? Like that amount of stuffing's gonna knock someone over".

-------------------------------------------

Dream recap from SUN 19 MAR - 2023.

The dream recap will take you through in a logical manner; no prior explanations needed.

- START RECAP -

The dream started off with me walking around a slightly distorted version of my high school. I went into the chapel as that’s where I felt Master Eraqus would be situated. In this dream, my high school was rather a campus I owned, and each Kingdom Hearts and Jak&Daxter character lived in amongst different buildings with each other. Upon walking into the chapel, I saw Eraqus (KH3) kneeling and praying at the front table (not an alter).

The reason I went to see Eraqus is because I stated that I actually wanted to ask him some questions for Terra-Week. However, I then stopped myself as I realised I was seeing a deceased person but did not have a dream guide with me. Eraqus said that I didn’t need to worry as he was on my campus and so he was living under my rules. Though that’s when I heard the door opening, I turned around and noticed that Riku (KH3) had come in to accompany me. He went and sat in one the seats, letting Eraqus and I continue talking.

I forgot how I said it exactly, but I started asking Eraqus why he allowed to happen to Terra what had happened in KH-BBS. To begin with, Eraqus gave off an energy like he was sheepish and embarrassed. I think I then asked Eraqus why he didn’t offer help to Terra instead of choosing to believe and side with his old friend. Once again, I have forgotten what Eraqus’ response was. Though eventually, I remember Eraqus saying that darkness was a form of temptation.

He emphasised this by using the example of why Terra ran into nothing but villains on his journey (or at least more villains than good guys). He said that on every turn, he finally admits that Terra was manipulated by merely unfortunate circumstances, and that each encounter was more and more of a temptation. He said that the darkness that Xehanort introduced into Terra during the exam is likely what attracted the villains to him, and how they knew where he was when he arrived in each world.

There was a sub-scene that now played where Terra (KH3) was shown coming down the back Year 11 stairs that led into the chapel. Terra stood as close to the opening as he could without being spotted by anyone else in the room. Terra decided that he was going to eavesdrop on our conversation as he attempted to keep his balance and put his head next to the wall, giving a tiny smile.

Back to the main scene, I then asked why Eraqus decided to seemingly pick favourites (being with Aqua) rather than to actually see through Terra’s hurt and help him, being the father figure that Terra looked up to. And that if Eraqus had perhaps thought he was using Aqua to unintentionally divide the group. Eraqus looked down and sighed in sorrow, I also noticed him sitting on a chair now. He sighed as he said “forgive me”, with a subtle tear rolling down one of his cheeks. I answered Eraqus, “You know that I forgive you Eraqus, this was mentioned in a past dream”. Then from the back chairs, Riku gave a short burst of laughter and piped in, “You just want Terra-Week to think that you haven’t forgiven him”.

With the mention of Terra-Week from Riku, Eraqus then went on to say to me that he wanted them to know that he supports me in anything I post. I have forgotten Eraqus’ final words, but I then noticed Terra peeking from behind the wall to the stairs, so he wasn’t too hidden after all. I asked Terra what he was doing there, but I forgot his answer… Riku was also humoured and intrigued and asked the question in his own way. With the meeting with Eraqus seemingly over, both Riku and Terra walked me out of the chapel, and as were walking towards the front office, the dream ended.

- END RECAP -

-------------------------------------------

I already mentioned this; but get ready for the Day 7 finale. I have a surprise in-store which is known neither by the audience or even Terra himself 😉 Only Riku and Ventus have been in on it, with Aqua allowed in the loop.

I expect Terra to be in tears; or am I asking for too much lol?

-------------------------------------------

Thank you and see you on Day 7! 28/29 MAR (TZ dependent).

Terra Week 2023 - Day 5 Package

@terrakhweek

Prompts Addressed: Duel + last-minute-bonus!

Pieces: 1. Drawing of 'Property Dispute'; stemmed into Grandma vs. Xehanort. 2. Picture of Orange Flower from Dad 🤨

Requires mod/re-share on Twitter (written pieces)?: No - published via Twitlonger.

-------------------------------------------

The one and only piece I had ready for Day 5 based on the prompt ‘Duel’.

I decided to call this piece “Property Dispute”:

A very powerful scene as it’s pretty much the battle for Terra’s heart, but it gets preserved with the last minute safeguard. Terra also says some powerful words here.

Trivia: I showed my grandma (mum’s side) a picture of the older Xehanort, and she got so traumatised, saying she never wants to see his ugly face again XD She doesn’t even know what he did to Terra.

Now, I just told her what I was doing, and she called out “ugly ko smrt!”, which means “ugly like death!” in Croatian XDDD BTW, you don’t have to listen to grandma, you’re allowed to like or dislike this man lol.

-------------------------------------------

GOOD WORK DAD:

I’m not making this up when I say that today (25 MAR), my dad went over to grandma’s (his mum’s), and when I opened my phone, I got this picture in my inbox:

It’s another orange flower! A simple daisy this time.

Now what does this have to do with Terra week?

My dad must have been paying attention to where I posted the chrysanthemums and why I did it. I’ve told him that this week, I have all these pieces to share for ‘an online project’.

Even though my parents don’t have avid knowledge of Kingdom Hearts lore, they do know who Terra is well as a number of other guardians. Due to how I portray Terra in the house (and in my timeline), my mum really likes him, so my dad must be tuning in.

What conclusions can we draw from this?

My dad understands what the ‘project’ is that I’m involved with: Terra Week 2023.

My dad understands that Terra’s signature colour is Orange.

So this work deserves to be recognised.

The friend I just spoke to also said that flowers can represent ‘New life and new beginnings’. So we can relate these images of flowers being posted to Terra’s redemption and future discoveries and aspirations.

-------------------------------------------

Summary of grandma’s: Mum’s side – Traumatised by Xehanort. Dad’s side – Grows all these orange flowers that just found the camera on the right day/s.

-------------------------------------------

Last minute laughs at 9:00 PM (AEDT):

I was just having a joke with my mum in the kitchen and grandma on the couch.

I said “if grandma went up against Xehanort, she’d win with her frying pans and her tongue. Terra should let her fight the battle for him. No dark forces would overcome my grandma”.

That’s definitely on the topic of ‘Duel’ alright.

-------------------------------------------

To link us back to Terra-Week 2023, I bet Terra's having a cackle at the stuff with my grandma (mum's side) and Xehanort.

Terra: "I'll name my next finishing command 'European Grandma'".

-------------------------------------------

Thank you and see you on Day 6! 27/28 MAR (TZ dependent).

🧡Day 1 !!🧡

Terra KH Week 2023 has officially started !

Terra Week 2023 - Day 1 Package

@terrakhweek

I won't bore you all with formalities, so if anyone wants/needs to see my introduction/intention on works. Check here: https://karlasworld1998.wordpress.com/2023/03/22/introduction-to-terra-week-2023/

Basically the content of Day 1 is a bit loose and fluid, but Days 2 - 7 are a bit more in-line with Terra's past actions. And also, Terra decided to give some of his own closing statements on Day 7.

Terra is energetically driving most of my submissions (i.e. what to create and what emotions to convey), with the exception of one or two that were devised without his help (i.e. the poems).

-------------------------------------------

Prompts Addressed: Worlds + NewFriends&HangOuts

Pieces: 1. Drawing of Terra as a merman. (Worlds) 2. Dream Recap for Mary Poppins' world. (Worlds) 3. Drawing from one matching dream scene. (NewFriends) 4. Individual copy of Terra's chalk drawing (NewFriends)

To be acknowledged/shared: WED 22 MAR or THU 23 MAR

Requires mod/re-share on Twitter (written pieces)?: Yes

Mods, check the above for every submission package. Some may not have written works and so don't need to be re-shared to Twitter as I am 'mysticdreamer20' on there. I am posting every day on Tumblr so that there is consistency to my viewers and not like 'She's missing some days for TW...?'. As always, you share what you see as fit/suitable.

-------------------------------------------

Found a rigged model of 'topless Terra' on DA. So I thought I could try to draw that myself and so turned him in to how he would look in Atlantica:

-------------------------------------------

Dream recap from TUE 14 MAR - 2023.

This dream has been divided into half, as only the second half is posted here. The first half was not pertinent to a Terra week prompt/idea:

(If this was a fan-fic, it would be written with more of a BBS tone and perhaps more mention of Aqua and Ven. I drove the dream towards Terra-Week as best as I could).

-- START RECAP --

Terra got into his armour and on the glider himself as he then sat me in-front of him (me not in armour). He leaned over me as he sent the glider into the air and launched us off. However, we didn’t end up returning to the main area of Kindgom Hearts. Rather, we ended up on some small asteroid planet, which looked like it could be the Gateway Galaxy from SMG1. With Terra taking off his armour and now wandering the small planet with me, I felt like he and I were going to be on our own for the rest of the dream. That’s when I decided to ask him if there was any world he wanted to go and see. Terra answered “Well I’ve never been to Notre Dame before, so I wouldn’t mind going there”.

I became confused as for some reason, I thought that I had been there before with Terra. He replied that I may have gone there with Jak, but that Terra definitely remembers never being there before. All of a sudden I realised what I was wearing. That I changed into an outfit that some nun would wear, only without the headdress.

The dream then changed scenes, and I ended up singing ‘Feed The Birds’ as I was in front of some sort of cathedral. Terra was seen walking up to me as he asked me “Why are you singing Feed The Birds?”. I stopped near the end of the song and answered that we didn’t seem to be in the world of Notre Dame, but that we had ended up in ‘Mary Poppins’ world’. Terra seemed to be caught surprised as he looked around and saw all the old London style buildings. I also noticed that for this world, Terra was wearing a dark brown woollen coat with black trousers and boots. We then decided to walk around town and check out the rest of the area. I wondered why we didn’t see Maleficent in this world, less so concerned about Pete.

Closer to where all the houses were, we looked over and saw Bert, at the time during the cannon movie where he was a chimney sweep, but in the dream, he seemed to be working as a graffiti removalist. As Bert was seemingly scrubbing something off a brick wall with a brush, he looked over at us and called out, “Hey! You must be Terra”, as he waved frantically. Terra wondered how he was already known in this place. We both approached Bert as he then asked Terra, “And who’s that?” (referring to me). “She’s my friend” answered Terra, but then Terra’s voice was heard saying in the dream, “If I said my dreamer, he wouldn’t understand what that is”.

That’s when a large group of unversed showed up in a wide alleyway between some houses. “Unversed!”, Terra called out, as he then said sorry to Bert for the fact that he had to run off and deal with them. I said to Terra, “I can’t wield a keyblade. Looks like I’ll be sitting this one out”. As I began to walk off, Terra grabbed my arm and pulled me back. He prompted me to turn back around to face him and then reminded me that I was able to summon a clone of his keyblade. With him making a small gesture, I did end up summoning my own copy of his Earthshaker keyblade and so he and I both went and dealt with the small dark purple unversed that were in the area.

Once the unversed were gone, Terra and I went back to roughly where we were before, at the side of one of the houses. That’s a when four teddies decided to show up; being Selvian, Sierra, Nasha and Sibella, and Terra looked really happy to see them. I can’t remember what exactly it was that Terra said, but he insinuated for us to do something. That’s when he gestured to the open brick wall and suggested we draw a mural or ourselves on the wall with chalk. He winked directly at me after saying this, which I knew meant that he was signalling I could draw this instance for Terra-Week IRL.

Terra looked over at Bert, worried that he was going to tell us off or remove the drawing immediately after it was done. Bert reassured Terra and said something like “Eh, I’ll clean if off later”, even insinuating that he may decide to let the drawing stay forever. There was then a sub-scene with Maleficent and Pete looking at Terra and I from a distance. I have forgotten everything that Pete said, but Maleficent was like “No. Let her think that we’re not here. Look, she’s a baby (derogatory intention). Soon enough she’ll be swept up by that nanny, Mary Poppins (insinuating that Mary Poppins was going to kidnap me)”.

The scene then went back to Terra, the teddies and I drawing on the wall. Terra and I could reach, but the teddies had a really hard time as they were really short, so I had to hold each one up as they did theirs in their chosen place, and then I drew mine. There was yet another sub-scene that now played though. It was just me and Terra, and I was now sick with a cold. Terra pulled out a container of fish oil out of his pocket as he was getting me to take it. He also said that if he can’t meet Mary Poppins (as in can’t find her), then he can at least act like her. In a very mono-toned way, he sung some resemblance of ‘A Spoonful of Sugar’ as he inched the spoon closer and closer to my mouth, and then finally fed me the oil.

Back to the main scene again, as we had finished the drawing, Mary Poppins had now come walking into the scene from the Banks’ house. I forgot everything that was said, but it wasn’t looking good overall. We wanted to meet Mary Poppins, but didn’t necessary want to be taken in by her. Mary Poppins mentioned something about us wanting a nanny, when she saw the teddies and likened them to if we had children [Terra and I are NOT romantically linked; remember, DCs and/or NPCs are weird, and Mary had a concrete agenda in this dream]. Without notice, Mary came up to the teddies and grabbed Selvian, Nasha and Sibella, them now shouting and screaming. Mary walked them off as she said to them, “Come now, you’ll be taken in with the Banks’ children”.

Sierra wasn’t seen, and I wondered what had happened to her. I must also mention that Terra was back in his normal clothes for the drawing scene. When Mary had gone into the house with the three bears, Sierra came out of the lower part of Terra’s hakama pants that she had wrapped around to cloak herself [The flares were pulled back. She made an outside portion, i.e. a separate compartment]. Staggering out from behind Terra like she had been on a jackhammer, Sierra looked like she had seen a ghost. Terra looked dumbfounded to notice her there, but he was glad that one of the bears was safe. Soon after this, I woke up.

-- END RECAP --

-------------------------------------------

The drawing!: Recall back to the mural scene, Terra was like, you can wow them with this/'I'm allowing it'. This is the first time I have drawn a super detailed replica of a dream scene.

The idea is 'New Friends and Hangouts'. So if you think about it, we're offering Terra our friendship and companionship:

(L-R): Terra, Selvian, Nasha, Sibella, Sierra, Karla.

-------------------------------------------

For those that want to gush over Terra's chalk drawing. He drew this:

Terra Week 2023 - Day 2 Package

@terrakhweek

Prompts Addressed: Loyalty

Pieces: 1. Drawing of Lingering Will 2. Last minute convo. with Ventus re. Loyalty

To be acknowledged/shared: THU 23 MAR or FRI 24 MAR

Requires mod/re-share on Twitter (written pieces)?: No - published via Twitlonger.

-------------------------------------------

Drawing done of Lingering Will; ‘Guardian of the Keyblade Graveyard’:

Keyblades are from pre-made assets (2022).

-------------------------------------------

To have a bit more content, here is a last minute conversation that I decided to pull Ventus aside for; re. ‘Loyalty’:

Me: “Hey Ventus. Can I have some of your time?”.

Ventus: “Yeah sure. What’s the deal?”.

Me: “I just wanted to ask you some a question or two about loyalty.

Ventus: “Uh… Okay? First I have to know what the question is. You could just ask Terra as he’s your dream guide”.

Me: “It’s for Terra-Week, and it sounds a little silly complimenting yourself. So I wanted to know, from a friend’s perspective; what makes Terra a loyal guy?”.

Ventus: “Oh, right! Well he’s not just a loyal guy, he’s one of the most loyal guys I know. He showed Aqua and I what you wrote for Day 7, and those three reasons you gave for Terra being a hero… Well… Being a hero and being loyal go hand in hand. He didn’t have to come and jump in when I was in trouble with Eraqus. Anything that Terra did, he said he was doing it for his friends. Tell me, why did you draw the Lingering Will to give them on the same day?”.

Me: “Because I think the Lingering Will is a sign of loyalty and guardianship. My slogan for that piece was going to be ‘Guardian of the Keyblade Graveyard’. Loyalty and perseverance do go hand in hand, and he wasn’t going to leave that place until either something was done with Xehanort, or you guys returned; which I bet none of you were expecting to get a full trio reunion”.

Ventus: “Bingo! I just played ‘dream guide’ with you”.

Me: “Hehe. Getting me to think a bit hey? Can you give me some more scenarios where you think Terra was literally exercising loyalty in your Birth By Sleep timeline?”.

Ventus: “Mmm… If I do that, I’ll be giving away all of your Day 7 work. Hey, while you were getting a drink, I just had a thought to extend this topic a bit more. Y’know Terra says some iconic quotes in that timeline, right? So why don’t you find a couple of quotes and list them at the end of our chat?”.

Me: “That is actually a good idea, Ventus. Thanks for all the help on this, and I guess the reason you’re here is because you are Terra’s friend, and in my opinion, you and Terra actually have a two-way thing going for loyalty with each other”.

Ventus: “You think?”.

Me: “Well you always said you would be there for Terra and that you had a promise to keep; sooo”.

Ventus: “Yeah, cool stuff. Well I might let you go and find those quotes now. Thanks for giving me a chance to talk about Terra; I hope they don’t mind that it was me doing it. Keep up the great work and Aqua and I can’t wait to see what happens for the rest of that week”.

-------------------------------------------

QUOTES:

“You may be my master but I will not let you hurt my friend!” – Terra (KH-BBS)

“Even if you do wrest control of my heart from me; even if you do cast me into the deepest, darkest abyss, you’ll never sway me from the one cause that pushes me to keep on fighting. Whatever the cost, I’m ready to pay it”. – Terra (KH-BBS)

“One day I will set this right. I will return to this land and protect my friends”. – Terra (KH3)

-------------------------------------------

PRODUCTION WOES:

Me: “Ah Ventus, can I just utilise you again for a quick bit?

Ventus: “Okay, what are we doing this time?”.

Me: “Just a quick apology leading into Day 3. You know what happened during production. I thought it’d sound a bit better coming from you”.

Ventus: “Oh yeah, to Terra’s audience, we’re sorry for how the Day 3 conversation starts off. It’s just our luck that Karla decided to start with the prompt of ‘Deception’, and because Terra’s sorta been on cloud-9 for a year, he had a bit of a hard time when he had to address his past again, and he kinda went into shock”.

Me: “Yeah, just a mini tantrum, but he handled Day 3 well overall, and he’s come to terms with Terra-Week ever since. He did the later pieces a lot better and he’s now embracing the event. Also, I had a subconscious blockage during that time, so we could’ve gone deeper into Day 3 if it wasn’t for that”.

Ventus: “Is that all?”.

Me: “Yeah that was it. Thanks Ventus… Aaaaand Terra”.

-------------------------------------------

Thank you and see you on Day 3! 24/25 MAR (TZ dependent).
