kingdom hearts re:coded is fucking insane.
there are easier ways to torment me
what if the most upgraded form of your keyblade that represents your memories of me is subtitled with your name. just boy things ig. what if the most upgraded form of your keyblade that represents your memories of me is a nebulous word that could mean anything from the concept of a heart to the real chest to the mind. one of the defining things of the series. is it defining of our relationship?
are the immaterial and natural equally important? are they equally important to you who has adventured over the universe? is it more important to share another's hurt than be shielded from it? do you resent me for holding you back when you tried to reach out? do you resent me for breaking apart everything we knew?
i gave you this wayfinder to protect you, i gave you this crown as a sign i would protect you possibly(necklace theory my dark mistress).
#kh#in kh2 especially oathkeeper is a blade less useful for combat than it is for training. in re:coded its defensive capabilities are second t#none. oblivion is a strange fellow. in re:coded it steals your life force in exchange for greater power#unlike its very first appearance in kh it provides superior attack and magic boosts. it makes you attack faster in contrast to oathkeeper#removing status effects. many things. it can freeze enemies and enact critical damage where oathkeeper heals#in kh3 you only obtain oathkeeper from finding Every Fucking Hidden Mickey#and for oblivion its only for completing the game on critical mode#these keyblades are. a LOT

What if Riku had a cane after kh2?
#my art#fanart#kingdom hearts#kingdom hearts 2#riku kh#riku kingdom hearts#while I was watching a kh2 playthrough#there were headcanons of riku having hip/back problems from the final fight and of him using a cane because of that#I really loved the idea and wanted to try drawing what I thought his cane would look like#I took a lot of inspiration for the design from his keyblade :3

Ink October day 21: Reduplicate
To repeat over and again; redouble.
#roxas#kh xion#kh sora#kh roxas#kingdom hearts sora#kingdom hearts xion#kingdom hearts roxas#xion kingdom hearts#roxas kingdom hearts#sora kingdom hearts#sora kh#roxas kh#xion kh#kingdom hearts#kh#kingdom hearts days#kh days#blue boi draws#ink october#ink october 2024#ink October 2024 day 21#they literally make me insane#something something Xion gets a lot of her stuff from Sora VIA Roxas she’s technically Roxas’ replica too#so much of who they are is because him. they are extensions of him they are their own people#they never actually met him. for most of their live ‘Sora’ is nothing but a name#he is the connection between them he is the keyblade they fight with he is a distant Spector#he is with them always and they feel his absence achingly#he is the reason they were born he is the reason they die. he had no choice in either decision.#he doesn’t really exist to them. he is just this blindingly bright figure looming over them.#I think they idolise him ‘Sora will figure it out’ ‘that’s why it has to be you’

#kirby#kingdom hearts#daily kirby#my art#digital#hal laboratory#nintendo#finally starting kingdom hearts 3 after 5 and a half years :)#(as long as I've run this blog wow!)#(3 of those were playing through all the other kingdom hearts games when they came out for switch)#I'm having a lot of fun!#I intentionally avoided most of the reviews and playthroughs and stuff#lmao I was looking at my other kirbs tagged 'kingdom hearts'#and this is the third february in a row I've drawn a keyblade kirb to celebrate major gameplay progress#but I guess that means it only took me 2 years to play through all the preceding games.

(as far as we know, keyblades aren’t genetic so it probably wouldn’t work exactly like this but) I LOVE the thought of Ephemera showing his kids starlight for the first time, only for it to disappear out of his hand because his 5 year old daughter wanted to hold it badly that she subconsciously summoned it to her. Starlight has apparently chosen her and she’s now the youngest keyblade wielder in history
#as a further small addendum: eph still has some control over it so he keeps it until she actually knows how to use it#but she can summon it at any time#it makes for a lot of interesting interactions between them#once again the prospects of keyblade ownership is winning my heart#my posts#timeless familia

If Wayward Wind had a ‘first form’. Specifically for before Ventus and Sora connect.
It would change appearance here.
#Ventus#birth by sleep#I have a lot of thoughts about Wayward Wind actually#I always liked the idea of it being the Keyblade Ven got from Xehanort#and since he wields Missing Ache in KHUX… it’s still possible

im not complaining that the manga is taking a while, but the kh3 manga is gonna show us the scene of ventus and roxas interacting finally in the next chapter and im rattling back and forth at the idea of the artist depiction
#kingdom hearts#stormy weather#the manga has been going a mile a minute#it barely gives time nor dialogue to a lot of the stuff going on in keyblade graveyard#but the times it DOES slow down even a teeny bit#golden#there's a moment where ven is about to go with sora to help fight#and he just gets insanely dizzy and sora's like '???? BRO SIT DOWN'#it's such a tiny but nice interaction#considering how sora just treats ven like a coworker for the rest of the game despite the uh#THE INSANE relationship the two of them have

ansem: the true nature of the heart is darkness! and in the end, everything will return to the darkness from whence it came!
sora:
#i'm so sorry y'all i'm disappearing again after this#i just finished kingdom hearts 1 and went bananas#that game gets made fun of a lot (affectionately#for having characters yap on and on in the vaguest of terms about hearts and darkness and keyblades and light#and then you play the game and you start yapping about it too#do i know what a heart is? no#do i know what light and darkness are supposed to mean? only incredibly vaguely#what does locking up the worlds actually do? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯#but did i feel it when sora said that deep down there's a light that never goes out? absolutely and i do have that on my wall now#anyway i'm normal about it#(lying)#kh1#kingdom hearts

finally watched dark road
#my art#kh#aqua kh#terra kh#i have a lot of thought about dark road and not all of them are good#but the fact that keyblade wielders have Always been like this is extremely funny#shoutouts to riku for breaking the cycle (acknowledging his mental health and subsequent closeness to the darkness-#-and using that as his power)

Id: faux calendar artwork for the month of October, starring Cody Night Angel Walsh. He is perched like a gargoyle, both arms extended into rock’n’roll hand signs, as he’s perched on top of the Buster Sword from Final fantasy. His hands have knuckle tattoos that read “Mall Goth.” Below him are a number of fantasy weaponry - Andruil, the Master Sword, the Chaos blades, a Keyblade, a Gunblade, a Minecraft diamond sword, an Energy Sword, Sephiroth’s masamune, and Frostmourne. Other pieces of swords jut up behind him, into a sea of swords. Along his arms and far in the background blue flames burn. Cody is grinning toward the camera, curled goat horns hovering by his head. Perched in front of him is a camel’s skull, on the hilt of the Buster sword he is perched on. End id]
I love how this turned out. So dumb yet so beautiful
Edit: January, February, March, April, May, June, July, August, September, October

deep in the kingdom hearts trenches..
#beep boop you want fries with that#kingdom hearts#vexen#lexaeus#riku#ansem#i wanna draw lexaeus more but HIS HAIR IS GD NIGHTMARE#on the topic of lexaeus ik he doesnt raise his voice often but i made him do it for the bit. can you forgive me#btw vexen owes like. 50000 munny.#ALSO. riku-ansem. i liek in kh1 when ansem acts liek a gd FREAK in his body like sir WHAT ArE YOU DOING.#he does the exact same mannerisms and everything liek wooahh i love the attention to detail in kh and kh1 specifically.#guys did you know it took ppl many years to realize you can freeze the stove in trickmasters fight to make it easier wooaaahh#unfortunately riku-ansem in kh2 doesnt really have riku’s mannerisms reflected in ansem’s body which. sads#that wouldve been cutes.#the only time i cant think of that happening was when riku appeared hooded in front of sora in the mulan world#teh little gesture he does. and sora is liek. that must be him the only guy who does that is riku#but liek. the gesture is cute and awesome but riku’s expressions dont show up on ansem’s face sadly.#if you think he did then you are probably thinking of the manga. or theres a scene i havent seen yet#bc my kh2 knowledge is sloppy (LOL DAYS REFERENCE) due to me not having played the game when i was young#i only wwatched a cutscene comp when i was little#and memes. lots of meme videos#also hey can we all look at riku’s deranged smile when he was going to hit sora with the keyblade of the heart#FRANKLY ADORABLE.

Kingdom Hearts 3 - Starlight Way
#kingdom hearts 3#kh3#starlight way#scenery#gummi ship#my gif#figured i'd gif the gummi ship areas too because they're super cool#i love that we have this kind of free range space exploration#with all kinds of treasures for your ship hidden throughout the area to encourage flying around the whole map#as well as having to mine space rocks for materials for synthesis or upgrading your keyblade#the missions are a lot of fun too#my custom gummi ships always look like horrible abominations until i get the gold highwind

Ink October day 11: Firebreak
A strip of land that has been cleared, plowed, or planted with fire-resistant vegetation to prevent a fire from spreading.
#kh riku#riku kingdom hearts#kingdom hearts riku#riku kh#dream eater riku#kingdom hearts#kh#kingdom hearts dream drop distance#kh ddd#blue boi draws#ink october#ink october 2024#ink October 2024 day 11#I think this one might be my favourite of this years#it’s simple but I really like how it turned out#anyway Riku as a firebreak but instead of fire it’s darkness. guy who is darkness resistant who helps keep back the darkness#Riku using his darkness as a sorta ‘controlled burn’ method of fighting darkness#honestly darkness as a natural force vs darkness as a corrupting force… Riku having natural darkness and using it in a controlled way#to avoid build up that could be used against him by others with ill intentions#honestly Riku and how he deals with his darkness is really interesting. like local 16-17 yo figures out stuff on his own that keyblade#wielders have struggled with for ages. I think his method would be a big help to Terra in particular.#I feel like what Xehanort was teaching him was less controlled burn and more use it with reckless abandon. like he talked a lot of shit#about ‘controlling the darkness’ but we know he was just trying to foster the darknesses control on Terra so he could use it to fuck with#him. Terra would definitely be hesitant to try to learn again after that but hopefully Riku will be able to communicate the base idea of it#inbetween searching for Sora.#honestly Darkness and it’s connection to fire is interesting to me. there’s maleficents green fire. that one move Riku uses a lot.#the appearance of darkness resembling fire is common (it’s either that or goop. shout out to darkness goop) which is odd#because fire is a light bringer. it’s probably meant to pull on the consuming power of fire but still#anyway i love him
