#working on ventus aqua and terra rn

[mxsqerxde]

some kh4/modern au designs

[convicted-jay-walker]

Slow day at work means 3 more kingdom heartsifications

I imagine that these guys all came from different worlds and the story is a mix between Ninjago and more birth by sleep era of stuff because I don’t want them in the unchained key era and I think Arin is more sora than Lloyd is.

Lloyd feels more Ventus.

If I was to swap out characters directly I would have to pair them up but it would go

Ventus - Lloyd

Vanitas - Harumi / Morro

Aqua - Nya / Zane / Pixal

Terra - Kai / Cole / Jay

Eriqus - Wu

Xehenort - Garm

Sora - Arin

Riku - Sora ( ha )

Kairi - Euphrasia ( it’s the kidnapping getting trapped thing I’m sorry )

Donald and goofy - Wyldfyre ( the menace and the silly ness combined )

I could spread out and do the thirteen with other characters but omg I can’t be bothered rn

[bayothemayo]

hihi, sorry if you have a lot of requests rn but can i request a (PLATONIC!!!!) sora + child!reader? i think it would be interesting to see your take on it, given that you havent posted any sora yet :)

If Child! Reader was a Keyblade Wielder

For starters, he would most likely take a big brother role

He would definitely take on the more tougher and bigger bosses.

Even so Sora will let you fight still, so you would get stronger alongside the rest.

If you were in any danger, then he would quickly go help you.

Any free time on the ship you two usually hang out.

If you had family and/or a younger/older sibling you talk about them to Sora

You also tell him about your hobbies or whatever you like. And if you two happen to have the same interests, then you guys will talk for whatever long till you two have to sleep or reach the destination.

Basically a big brother figure.

If Child! Reader was a Nobody

First off, it would be difficult to fight you. A literal child

For some reason deep down he cares about you, even though he just met you.

When you do eventually fight he does his best to try to not hurt you too much and just tire you out.

It always hurt him having to even think about hurting you.

It was hard for him having to defeat you at The World That Never Was (or in the Keyblade Graveyard) and seeing you fade away but if it helps you go back to your body then so be it

If you two end up meeting again then he would apologized for beating you up.

If Child!Reader was in of the Wayfinder Group (Birth By Sleep)

Hearing that you may be lost or trap somewhere, and that you are a child, he HAVE to rescue you.

Sora knows that Aqua, Terra, and Ventus would prefer that you would be helped first.

He would try his hardest to defeat what ever Heartless or Nobody that gets in his way.

When he does rescue you, he would keep an eye on you to make sure you are okay if he wasn't busy,

He would rather have you stay at the Yen Sid's Tower, but with your insistence he lets you come with them.

Whit it comes to battling, he let's you fight since you have a experience, albeit maybe rusty. But he would keep an eye out for you.

If Child!Reader was Norted

He would be devastated

It would hurt him deeply knowing that he would eventually have to hurt you.

He would try to find a way to un-nort you in a non-confrontational way.

If you two do end up confronting each other, he would try to talk you down hoping that you would break free from Xehanort's control. Though that most likely didn't work that much so he would have to fight you.

Once you get out of Xehanort's control he would absolutely keep checking if you are okay, mentally and physically.

He would definitely baby you for a little bit and hang out with you a lot more than you two used to do.

Quadruplets brother au

(My other account got a revamp so I’m kickstarting this account off again with the au that I wanted to post years ago but I was too shy too. Hope I get to brain rot about this again!)(this is obviously almost 3 years old and not at all fleshed out as much as my current au’s are but we had to start somewhere right?😅.)

So this au has been in my head for SO long and I thought I’d share it.

It starts off with their mother and father who one day decided to have a baby. Well, they weren’t expecting 4. They only bought stuff for one baby and didn’t have enough money for the other three. But despite that they continued to try to raise the children anyway. They couldn’t and decided to put all of them up for adoption (because they didn’t want them separated).

All 4 end up in an adoption center ready to be adopted at any time. But, Something happened in the adoption system where the 4 were registered as just themselves and not as quadruplets. So all 4 were adopted around the same time but by different families.

Ventus was adopted by Aqua and Terra (the Way-Finders)

Vanitas was adopted by Xehanort with his sons Ansem, Xemnas and Xehanort Jr who they call junior (he’s just young Xehanort). (The dark family)

Sora was adopted by Aerith and Zach (the fairs)

Roxas was adopted by Cloud and Tifa (the strifes)

They spent about 4 years without each other until kindergarten where a mutual friend (an oc of mine don’t worry bout it rn) of there’s pointed out that they look the same, and even got confused with them (as people who aren’t used to twins, triplets etc do). The teacher notices this and is like “wait a minute-“ and calls for a conference with the parents. They immediately notice the similarities and get in touch with the adoption center. They figure out that the boys were in fact quadruplets and they go off on the center, I kid you not.

They do a lot of government stuff and all the parents become the legal guardians of the boys. I guess you can say that their co-parenting. Since they’re co-parenting, the boys switch houses every month or so.

Ok now time for other characters and their significance to the story.

Xion is their cousin. Her mother and father really wanted to stay in touch with the boys, and even help get the boys in contact with their birth parents (unsuccessfully).

Kairi and Naminé are twins in this au, kairi is sora’s childhood friend and Naminé is Roxas’.

Riku is Sora’s and Kairi’s childhood bestfriend. His parents go abroad often and because they’re so close to Aqua and Terra, Riku stays with them for most of the time.

Xemnas is Xehanort’s son. He started a bakery called “13” and everyone who works there are called the “organization members”.

Ansem is Xehanort’s oldest son,

Junior (young Xehanort) is a second year in college.

Aqua is a dance instructor, she has her own studio in radiant garden (which would be a country?? Ion know I didn’t think that far)

Extras:

Kairi part times at aerith’s flower shop and Naminé too when she has time.

Vani is really into rock and he’s saving up so one day he will go to one of his favorite band’s concert.

The boys actually have days where they all sit down and talk to get stuff off of their chest or just relax. They do it on Saturday since “Saturday is for the boys”

During their Saturday time they lock themselves in their room (of which ever house they’re in for that Saturday) with a sign on the door that says “keep out” and no one is allowed inside until they’re done.

Top 5 thoughts in my head

1. A four-week tennis program for absolute beginners being offered at my gym. Great way to start off Mondays. 👍

2. Dad + I will discuss that on Sunday

3. Once that discussion is settled + resolved, I gotta see what else I need to do b4 I begin registration. I dont want a repeat of February of last year.

4. Feeling super guilty + I'm very much overthinking this 😖 I got to at least show the hips + legs b4 I build anything else upon it

5. That would be a cool goal to have >:) as long as I dont overthink, procrastinate, or get too distracted 😅

I will admit, I do need to cut back, financially. I don't have an exact plan how. The busier I am, the less I'm tempted to buy stuff.

For Sunday, after the discussion, I hope to do some art of Peli, another OC for another friend. His main color is green + it really got me thinking:

Dratica = Red

Zane Artemis = Blue

Peli = Green

Ok, for the rest of my life, I'm so associating those three colors with Ventus, Terra, + Aqua from KH: BBS.

Once I get some practice + ideas down, I can play KH: BBS in the night time :D that way i can make up for that from Wednesday + end my day off with a bang! I only hope there are no other plans whatsoever that I dont want to be dragged to.

Oh yeah, I remember that I will be filling in as a driver on Wednesday night the 25th so I may have to reschedule the next session to another Sunday again. Man, January's Wednesdays have not been kind. I fell asleep, I got sick, + then I gotta cover a driver.

Idk what I'll be doing tomorrow morning b4 work. I'll sleep on that. However, I'm not too tired rn. Back to chilling, I guess :) yep!

[polararts]

Idk if I’ll ever finish this, so here’s a crop. =w=

so..........the wayfinder trio fits perfectly for a wizards of waverly place au

Ranting about Kingdom Hearts III (cuz I just finished it, SPOILERS AHOY)

Follow-up post to: https://tompen94.tumblr.com/post/181689323487/ranting-about-kingdom-hearts-cuz-i-just-got-into

Okay... Uhhh... So that was... a lot to process...

I have finished KH3 with all of the chests and Lucky Emblems found. I tried my hardest not to just rush through the story, but I am not gonna pretend like I know shit as I am a pretty casual gamer. This is just an aggregate of my thoughts on the game.

If you want a review here it is: GET THE FUCKING GAME RN

I won’t be holding back any information. This is your official spoiler warning.

Spoilers below the cut (if it even works).

Gameplay

As I said in my KH Rant post (click the link goddammit), this was my first experience with the gameplay of the series.

It took some getting used to, my muscle memory kept telling me that X was to jump so I got stuff wrong in the beginning but I got the gist of it towards the end. Didn’t use as much magic as I wanted though, using the d-pad means not using the analog stick, which means remaining still in the middle of a fight while I decide which magic to use and, in the case of Cure, who to use it on. (Yes I’m aware of shortcuts and I used them but I still have to use the d-pad to change which set I’m using)

However, I liked the combat system in general. I’m sure it is something that comes with time and my issues with it can be honed out with more practice.

Wasn’t too hot on flowmotion though, at least in the beginning when you don’t have abilities like Air Slide. Using flowmotion in battle was pretty hard for me to do at first because of this. I had heard of how OP it was in DDD and I tried to use it a bunch in Thebes but because of my low success in even activating the thing properly, I stopped using it until I got to the Ice Labyrinth in Arendele. I started using it moderately after that.

The Lock-on laser thingy was something I thought I was going to use a lot since I had seen it being used pretty often in gameplay of the other KH games. However I barely used it. But it was pretty satisfying locking every beam onto a single target and then one-shot them with it.

Finally the situation commands. Loved them. My most used button other than X is the Triangle. Always use situation commands. It’s always a benefit. (Also Rage Form heals you and gives you super fast combos. Fucking neat!)

Favorite things and stuff

Favorite playable keyblade: Kingdom Key

Call me basic or whatever. The Kingdom Key was my main Keyblade and I barely swapped it out throughout the game. It is by far the weakest keyblade, I know. But I just like it so damn much, I kept it as my main. So yes, you can finish the game just with the Kingdom Key. If you don’t mind farming Adamantite and Electrum to upgrade it to the max, that is. I was planning to swap it out for ‘Dawn till Dusk’ but that was before I found out it was an Amazon pre-order exclusive (LAAAAAME!!!!).

Favorite keyblade in the series: Way to the Dawn

I like Riku’s new keyblade but Way to the Dawn looks so goddamn cool. Its look also tells a story, it’s an imprint of Riku’s character arc throughout the series. It’s a bit of a shame that they had him change it.

Favorite Worlds: Corona & The Caribbean

Corona is stupid pretty. And a fun world to explore and jump around in. I love how they recreated certain environments just for the scene of Rapunzel being at war with herself. You can actually go to those places! Also the Kingdom itself is just beautiful. Corona is the place I took most selfies on. Also:

(I will protect this smile with my life)

The Caribbean is basically its own game. Most worlds have one fun addition to the combat or the level design, like the Gigas in Toy Box, or even Rapunzel’s hair during the story portion of Corona. However the Caribbean gives you a ship and a whole new set of mechanics with it. It’s also a massive world, 56 goddamn chests to find. It feels so satisfying to sail to an island, get to the very end of it and find a butload of chests to open. Also Sora looks cool as fuck in his pirate costume.

Most disappointing worlds: Arendele & San Fransokyo

I wish it wasn’t so but Arendele wasn’t as much as I expected it to be. Don’t get me wrong, that ‘Let it go’ sequence is fucking phenomenal and I fanboyed out on it a lot, but the world itself isn’t all that interesting to me. You don’t even get to visit the Kingdom, just the mountain. And after you finish the story, the game teases you with Elsa’s Ice Castle, but guess what, you ain’t entering it either. Instead of the Ice Labirynth, I would much rather have had a level inside Elsa’s castle.

As for San Fransokyo, Why can’t I freely go to the bridge? Why is it locked to that one combat scene and then never seen again? And the city itself is confusing to traverse in. Even with the map I frequently lost track of where I was. The streets are also too wide, the only way to go through them quickly is if you’re a boss at using the Lock-on+Square thing, but I suck at it, so I’m just spamming dodge-roll to get through it a little faster than running. If the streets were narrower, it would be different, because then I could use flowmotion off of the walls and zip around like Deku was doing in the fight against Stain. Now THAT would’ve been cool. BGM is lit though.

Favorite characters: Sora & Riku

This is a topic I’m constantly changing my mind on, I like every single one of the main characters. Some more than others, yes, but I’m constantly jumping around between Sora, Riku, Roxas, Ventus, Aqua and Mickey. For now though, I’m going with Sora and Riku.

Sora’s a whole lot more chilled out in this game. And I really like that. In KH2 whenever he wasn’t trash-talking or involved in slap-stick with Donald and Goofy, he was moping around thinking about Riku and Kairi. It’s really nice to see him more carefree and I believe his character is greatly improved with this.

As for Riku, he’s kind of the opposite to Sora? I think his character shines the most when put under duress. We don’t see much of that in KH3, but we get plenty of it in the rest of the series. His constant struggle with the darkness makes for a pretty compelling character arc. Though I do think his peak was in KH2, when he was the ‘Get stuff done’ character alongside Mickey.

The Ending

And here we are... I still don’t know what to make of that ending... This story is filled to the brim with feel-good moments and then it ends on such a conflicting note for me. What comes to my mind is: Why Nomura... Why?

When Aqua returned to the Realm of Light and cried of happiness, I had the dumbest smile in my face.

When Ventus woke up and said “Good Morning, Aqua”, I had the dumbest smile on my face.

When the keyblades from the past came to participate in the ‘Rape-the-Triangle-button’ sequence of this game, I had the dumbest smile on my face.

When Terra (he did nothing wrong) reunited with Aqua and Ven, I had the dumbest smile on my face.

When Roxas returned, I had the dumbest smile on my face.

When Xion cried tears of joy on reuniting with Axel and Roxas, I had the dumbest smile on my face.

And then... at the end Sora fades away? What the fu-WHY? I actually still have a knot in my stomach over this.

Let’s put that aside for now, let’s not forget the fact that while the stuff in Back Cover and Union X did play an important part, it got fuck-all closure. Everyone’s chasing that Black Box but it amounted to nothing in this game. There are 7 new Princesses of Heart and we only see 3 of them. Also why couldn’t Luxu just be Luxu?

All of this could’ve been forgiven though. If everyone had a happy ending that is. But coupling all of this with Sora vanishing at the end... I can’t let it pass. This doesn’t feel satisfying. Goddammit Nomura!

Maybe this is just my knee-jerk reaction. Maybe I’ll see more positives in this ending over time, after I’ve digested it. But for now, this is how I feel...

I also have conflicted feelings about Xehanort’s redemption but I can stomach this one much more easily. While I don’t think adding this in was necessary, I also think it’s harmless. Giving Xehanort a ride off into the sunset instead of just a death is fine by me.

Some other things

Wasn’t it confirmed that Kairi would be playable? :(

Speaking of which, it certainly would’ve been nice to have some sort of Mission Mode a la 358/2 Days to be able to play as other characters. You only play as Riku twice and as Aqua once. Most of the MCs were fully playable at one point or another in the franchise so it would’ve been nice to be able to do so in some capacity in this game. Couldn’t you at least let me fight Terranort as the Lingering Will?

WHY DOES THIS GAME LOOK SO GOOD

I’m sorry if this felt like a bit of a downer. I guess I’m... grieving over Sora? Never thought I’d say something like that. I know that he “comes back” in the secret movie, along with Riku and... Yozora (I thought he was just a parody of Noctis?) and the Master of Masters. But I wonder how that ties into the Foreteller stuff we saw with XigbarLuxu. Also why is Riku there?

May your heart be your guiding key

[simplyghosting]

Haven’t updated this in a while, but:

She finished KH2. Screamed over Roxas.

Sister: Roxas and Naminé deserved better. Roxas fought and Naminé was, like…clinically depressed.

Played BBS. It’s now her favorite game.

Sister: Oh, [other sister] would like Terra. He’s an idiot. Pure of heart, dumb of —

Sister: Ventus is like a Disney princess! He’s baby!

Was delighted by Aqua’s cartwheels.

Sister: oh Vanitas is a schmuck I love him

Sister: I’ve never cared about 100% completion for a game…until now.

She unlocked all the breaktime moves. Still laughs about Terra’s.

Bought so many kh stickers. And a Terra pin. And a Roxas plushie.

Dream Drop Distance:

Sister, seeing the dream eaters: oh they’re cute

Sister: 10/10 Riku arc

Sister: Yen Sid is a whatssit and should be fired

Union Chi series:

She had me voice all the characters in the Union Chi mobile games and now says she can’t imagine another voice for Chirithy.

Sister: VENTUS IS EVEN MORE BABY I LOVE

Sister, seeing Elrena and Laurium: Loverboy and hatergirl origins

Sister: LAURIUM IS SUCH A GOOD BIG BROTHER

Sister, seeing the dream eaters now: OH NOOO-

Sister: hey master of masters acts just like xigbar haha could you imagine

She made a KH3 bingo for her expectations

Sister: hey what if Kairi reminded Axel of Xion haha could you imagine

Sister: why is tangled world exactly like the movie this is the worst

Me, recalling the arendelle level: …

YOZORAAAAAA!!!!!

Sister, seeing Demyx: YAAAAAAAS!! MY BOY!!

Sister: I would die for pirate Sora

Sister, getting to Arendelle: …I hate Disney

Sister: You know, at first I said I didn’t think there were any couples in this game, but Aqua and Terra should have kissed.

She finished KH3. Screamed over Saix (and his botched story).

Re:Mind

Sister: the only reason anything is okay rn is bc I can play as Riku

So deep in metaposts. I wake up to 80+ texts of character analysis every day.

Sister: THE THEME WAS SUPPOSED TO BE FACE YOUR FEARS AND SORA DID ALL THE WORK

Sister: “There was supposed to be a birth by sleep sequel! It would have filled in the details! We were robbed!”

Dark Road

Has me voicing the characters in dark road and told me “You need to practice your Caspar voice (from fire emblem) for Xehanort. It was perfect.”

Sister: “What on earth happened to Xehanort that he got so messed up? He seemed like a nice kid.” *finishes ep 1 of dark road* “Oh my go-“

Love watching my sister sink into kingdom hearts madness <3

[nebuvoid]

you know what? YOU KNOW WHAT? what with nomura being salty and basically turning riku into his final fantasy salt insert (while cutting all the past ff out dobfvosidfbvoisdb), riku really deserves a canon divergent new outfit. im getting on it. hmu if youre also on it
