So many are still waiting for their new beginning, their birth by sleep.

Birth date analysis // Seungmin - September 22nd: The Day of Restless Drive.

September 22 - Virgo/Libra

The Day Of Restless Drive

Those born on September 22 have a restless drive. Usually they bring the one they are working on to completion only to immediately set out on a new one without rest. They are also capable of handling several projects at the same time. Those born on this day have a low boredom threshold, and consequently demand challenging people and situations. They can be outgoing and dynamic types at one time, and solitary and unapproachable at another. In either case, their strong character is unmistakable.

Often September 22 people oscillate between an offensive and defensive posture. In one sense, such postures may be one and the same since a good offense is the best defense and vice-versa. Whether in a broad social context or on a personal level, the issues and ideas those born on this day are most often concerned with involve fairness and equality. In general matters pertaining to the delegation and exercise of power. In putting forth their arguments, they can be very ironic, witty and outright funny. Their humor, however, is not for everyone as it is liable to be off-beat, sardonic, perhaps even macabre.

Those born on September 22 can hide a warm heart under a forbidding exterior, but generally will only open up to people whom they deeply trust and value. Even then they may find it difficult to open all the way, principally because their orientation is highly realistic and the ironies of life all too visible to them. This day carries insight and clarity of vision both literal and figurative. September 22 people are excellent judges of character, and capable of sizing people up very quickly. Those few friends whom they allow into their inner sanctum they value most highly, usually for life.

September 22 people can often have a greater effect on those around them than they realize, and indeed can register a high degree of shock value. Because of their often disturbing impact, they should seek to be more aware of their effect on others, both friends and foes alike. True warriors in the battle of life, they must take stock of their armaments and defenses, using them judiciously and effectively, and avoid isolating and alienating themselves.

my birthday's in three days 🥹🥹🥹🫶🏻 I'm soooo excited and I really wanted to do something a little special for that day but I have no ideas nor any experience in hosting events :< oughhh

[uncanny-tranny]

For some reason last night, I felt like celebrating something and then I looked at my clock and it's my T-versary.

I thought about doing a "changes I've noticed" kind of post, but if I'm honest, the physical changes pail in comparison to the sheer contentment I feel. It's a feeling that no words are adequate, so words are not needed. I hope everyone feels this way - I certainly never thought I could, ever would. And yet, it is something I've had for years now.

Kingdom Hearts BBS Crossroads making me think...

In Chain of Memories, Sora gains "a secret memory" however he soon forgets his regular memories and Naminé is now in the picture.

Now I believe there is an important and precious memory he forgot that is separate from Naminé, but she override that memory with herself

It could also just be in order to find Riku and Mickey they go to Castle Oblivion where he is eventually tricked and loses his memories so he is put to sleep to eventually restore them.

In the Reverse / Rebirth section of Chain of Memories, Riku decides on the path: the road to dawn to gain truth for his loses his fear of the darkness.

However, I could also say Riku metaphorically died which is himself that he lost and now he is being reborn by choosing/gaining the path of dawn and using both light and darkness

For Birth By Sleep, three friends finally come together after being separated where they're able to be saved by one another and defeated Xehanort, but Ven's heart is lost, Terra's body is lost, and Aqua is lost in the realm of darkness in spite of it all. (Also happy 15th anniversary Birth By Sleep)

Now in Union Cross/ Unchained X or whatever you want to call this game, the dandelions are able to live on, but everyone else had to die and they eventually are "reborn" in the other world without the memories. They gained being able to live on and have another "world" to continue everything.

Now the main union leaders like Aced, or Ava and not the dandelions, they trapped pure darkness inside each and everyone of themselves—which was the Master of Masters' plan—could be part of another loss or perhaps a gain in MOM's case. Each Union wanted to win and have the most lux, but they eventually died through mistrust and formed the keyblade war which would be what they gave up or lost.

Now in Dark Road there is a section where Xehanort meets MOM and goes down a path of darkness but begins to travel using darkness. Now he was already headed from prior events but by meeting MOM this could have made it happen moreso. He distanced himself from his only remaining friend and met MOM. The Master of Masters is the devil offering him a deal. What was the deal? It could have not been shown or it could have been the coat to counter darkness but soon darkness overtakes him.

Now we get to KH3, where Riku is able to help Sora save himself (Kairi wishes for him too), but sacrifices his life ensures that Sora is able to save everyone but by doing so it makes him abuse the power of waking. This makes it too late for Sora and his loss is his life by disappearing from the world into quadratum.

Now everyone is able to defeat Organization 13 but the heroes of light all must have died by separation of the heart as well.

In the ending scene we finally see the Union Leaders. There they are at crossroads and they are able to meet up only through the loss of by giving up their hearts and traveling to that place.

However, the gain and loss could be that they gained the black box, but they lost Ava. As she was technically the traitor.

Now for KH4, what does this mean? We have the soriku secret ending that shows both Sora and Riku in Quadratum. However, there is another crossroads. As said when we first see it "in order to find is to lose" and Riku goes to Quadratum and at the crossroads he probably is able to find Sora but... What does he give up? The way to return? Something we don't know yet?

Sora is also able to meet with Riku again but in exchange of what??

It could be memories or it could be something entirely different...

How have I never made a dedicated post about this here??? For the Kingdom Hearts 20th anniversary a while back, I made a zine that chronicles my Kingdom Hearts art journey! I got into Kingdom Hearts shortly after it came out and have been drawing it ever since. This book is a collection of various sketches and illustrations I've done over the last 20 years. You'll find lots of pieces I've shared online over the years, as well as some that have never seen the light of day... including some cringe sketches from 2003, when I was first learning how to draw these characters! It also contains two timelines: What was happening in Kingdom Hearts year by year for game releases and special events, and what was going on in my life.

This was a huge labor of love, but I can think of no better way to show how this game has affected me. Because of Kingdom Hearts, I've become a better artist, musician, writer, and even went into game development as my career. The first 20 years have been a blast, and I'm excited for the next 20!

I have physical and digital editions available!
