#ventus/Repliku

[ma-tsu-the-male-goddess]

No okay but @venjamin-kingdomhearts ‘s joke/idea about Ventus and Repliku as a ship hit me like a train wreck.

Because now that everything is fixed, they’re all together and happy, the trios are together — what’s going on with these two?

As much as Ventus loves Aqua and Terra, they treat him more like a kid than an equal. It’s hard to hang out with Twilight kids bc he feels either like a stand in for Roxas or an awkward shadow. Sora would always welcome him, but regardless of how close they are in heart, Sora is lighthearted and free in a way that he just can’t make himself be. Being on Destiny islands is like trying to look in on a normal life that Ven never got. It’s hard, and it feels lonely. Even trying to travel with the Destiny trio makes him feel like a 4th wheel; there’s so many inside jokes he just doesn’t know how to laugh at.

And Repliku. The only people he knows are Namine and Riku and Sora. He tried to kill the Destiny island kids and it’s still awkward interacting with them at all. Even with his memories of the island, it’s not like he’s a real person right? How could he ever build connections with someone who has no memories of who you are, and tons of expectations of who you should be like? Namine is happy to talk with him, but the memories and struggles in the Organization still put a strain in their relationship. Namine more than anything wants to have a happy normal life, and even if she will never quite be just an average kid, she really gets people in a way that Repliku just doesn’t. She can’t be there just to entertain him, and he can see her struggle to get him to fit in with friendly gatherings.

So they both find themselves alone a lot. Walking through cities and towns, watching sunsets and starts, wandering the worlds to fill up their days. Maybe trying to pick up a hobby like astronomy or drawing, but always finding themselves back to training. It’s what they’ve always known, as far along as their real memories exist.

So why couldn’t they notice each other training? Outside Disney castle, or Yen Sid’s tower, or around the Land of Departure, and step in to say hi?

‘Would you like a sparring partner?’ Repliku would say.

‘Can you show me how you did that move?’ Ventus would ask.

An opening here and there, hesitant questions and banter slowly becoming more confident:

‘You know it’s funny, but I feel like we only ever meet up at these bright sunny places, you ever been to Halloweentown?’

Or

“You think those guys ever eat anything but paopu fruit?” Repliku.

“Nah, but at least it’s better than Twilight Town, I swear everyone of them is just obsessed.” Ventus.

A glance from Repliku, smirk on his face,

“You know based on the company we keep, you might say we’re the only ones with taste.”

And Ventus’s ugly snort makes Repliku’s smile turn real.

And slowly it would turn into other conversations:

‘Sometimes it’s hard, you know? Seeing them move on? I feel like I’m always just on the edge of the next threat.’

‘I don’t know how to get back to a normal I never had.’

And conversations turn to invitations turn to planning meeting ups turn to suddenly always being by their side, or at least just a text away.

And one day, Ventus tries to deal Riku a shovel talk for Sora and just fails spectacularly. Repliku, ‘happening to be by’ just starts cackling at the scene, and Riku looks concerned and confused more than anything.

So Ventus snags him arm in a fit of pique and says something like ‘if you date my brother I’m gonna date yours!’ It had been meant as a threat, Ventus thinks, but Riku is looking worried for his sanity, and Repliku’s face has gone blank. And so he drops his arm and falls awkwardly silent. He leaves.

Repliku and Riku share a confused glance and a nod: ‘we’re going to just pretend this never happened, and spare us all the embarrassment’ is what they say without words. But Repliku doesn’t drop it.

He go out and finds Ventus, where he always goes to brood, and sits down next to him.

“Did you mean that?” Repliku asks, staring forward. “I know you speak before you think, sometimes, but you sounded serious for a moment.”

It’s quiet for a long moment, and Ventus is tense beside him.

Repliku swallows and his voice is weaker with his next words, “For you to have said that at all, means you must have been thinking about it, right?”

Another moment passes, and Repliku has run out of steam. If something is going to change here, it’s going to have to be at Ventus’s behest.

Finally, he speaks, “Would you still treat me the same, if I said yes?” His voice sounds rough, like he’s been crying.

“No,” Repliku says, and Venus startles, head snapping to the side. As Repliku turns to meet his shocked expression, he can feel a grin on his face, so beyond relieved, “I’m not sure I should treat a boyfriend the same as just a friend. Though I don’t think we’ve ever really just been friends, hmm?”

He nudges Ventus’s frozen shoulder, and suddenly find himself half on the ground. He’s near tackled them both, arms wrapped tight around Repliku. It’s uncomfortable and he feels trapped, but he can’t bring himself to push him away just yet.

“Is that a yes from you, then?”

Ventus nods against his shoulder, and once his frees his arms, they sit there together for a long time, just watching the stars.

KHIII Chapter 33 (Eng): https://www.mediafire.com/file/20da8c2pnni5yq5/KH3_Ch33.zip/file Chapter List

Everybody's getting ready for the final battle. And Demyx is here, too!

When talking about Kairi I always thought she should interact with more characters because it could lead to some interesting interactions, but then I realized a lot of characters don't interact enough out of their small little groups.

Kairi only interacts with Sora mainly, sometimes with Riku, and then she is given some nice interactions with Axel which I really like.

Then we have Riku he mainly interacts with Sora, a tiny bit with Kairi, some with Mickey, and a bit with Terra but it's still not enough. Oh and he had a tiny conversation with Naminé in COM.

Ventus only interacts with Terra, Aqua, and Vanitas. Oh and somewhat with Sora too. It would be nice to see him interact with Roxas since they look alike or even Axel because they could have been friends like the interaction in BBS. Him and Kairi would also have good intentions because they are both only light.

Aqua doesn't interact outside her trio either, but she probably will interact with Kairi more. I hope we actually get to see her interact with Kairi along with some of the Twilight Town Trio.

Naminé actually interacts with a bit more characters however it's not that much. She talks with Roxas on nobodies, she talks to Xion, and then she talks a bit to Riku and Sora as well.

I'm just going to say most characters interact with Sora. Sora is the character that interacts with everyone and binds them all together besides the fact they have a common goal.

Even in organization 13, several of the members don't interact. I would have loved to see Vanitas interact with Dark Riku. It would be nice to see Vanitas interact with the other members of Organization 13. Marluxia and Larxene basically only interact with each other too.

There are so many other characters and examples but I would love a lot more interactions for more characters.

I finally did it - I created the catalogue of (most of) the possible Sefikura children combinations that I have played around with in the past.

It's under the cut (and I'm sure I missed some but guess I can always just keep adding to the slide deck)

[thetrashthatsmilesback]

From my favorite kh characters, who do you think has the most compelling arc or story?

I decided to leave out final fantasy characters because their arcs happen in their games. Obviously I could put Yuffie, Zack, Aerith, or Squall but they would Obviously Sweep because they have a ton of shit and ff is more popular than kh in general. So for that reason, it's KH original characters only.

The answers are in order of how i rank them too, so that's fun :) I hope...

This is more for personal reference but figured I might as well post it. I love color-coding my textbubbles <3

[kh-yumio]

Tbh, hoping for some of these to become canon. Realistically, looking directly at the dandelions and the "Skuld is Subject X" theory. unrealistically, looking directly at my fav lost kids.

Also, these are the ones that popped up in my mind first. Honestly my knowledge on the fanon stuff is limited even if i've following the franchise for a long time, so I really want to know what other fanon trios are out there! <3

[marswasntthere]

need some copium in these trying times so heres vanitas kh and co doodles and other stuff from the past few weeks in various qualities my apologies these were all taken at diff times. stay safe out there everyone, do not try a permanent solution to an inevitably temporary problem in the long run.

[mythicalartistx]

Everyone what's you're favorite trio?

This means your personal favorite trio, it doesn't mean the writing it the best but a personal favorite.

Mine is Lost Trio and they technically never interacted

I didn't include any that would repeat anyone or ones I was unsure were the main trio that they were in.
