[ask-everything]

Dolly, how often do you peer-review articles published in your field?

Well, gee whiz, honey, I thought you'd never ask!

It's not uncommon, but each time one does, I get oh-so proud of it. My work is rather well-known, y'know....but I just love it when I can contribute to academia even so.

(she smiles at you...it's....fluffy. :))

I’m normal about them I say lying through my teeth. So another Doll Custom because the Wives. This my Shiro x Ariel Agenda. But this is why I haven’t been drawing a ton recently I was working on these! And waiting for the right weather to spray them.

This is my first Nendoroid custom and only like, under double digits for modding/customs I’ve done with decent knowledge (I’m gonna say putting makeup on and cutting doll hair as a child doesn’t count lol). These were originally “Station Staff” Kamaishi Mana Nendoroid #373 and “Motorman” Matoba Marina Nendoroid #374! I can’t take too much credit for the faces here because I literally used the original faces as a base just drew over and recolored them. I made a choice to give Ariel the more rounded eye and Shiro the more angular ones (which I think is the correct choice) but Ariel’s do look a little big on here. The Hair was mostly just sculpting the bangs and Shiro’s braid. I used spray sealant (I have safety gear don’t worry) and water color pencils for the faces (except Shiro’s eyelashes that had to be acrylic paint to show up) like the doll repainted pros do but Shiro’s eyebrows were to thin to make white. I used miliputt (that is almost certainly spelled wrong but two part clay) and acrylic paint for hair which I then sealed with spray sealant and mod podge (just for gloss and texture cause raw paint feels bad to touch to me). I plan to buy them Nendoroid Doll bodies for some more pose-ability (trying to get the stand around Shiro’s braid is a challenge ngl) and outfit options!

Всем привет :D

My name is Штопор, but if you cannot pronounce it, simply call me Corkscrew.

I have been a little down on my luck lately (you never do think someone can just have their dick stolen until it happens), but I am still pleased to be here with you all.

If you wish to be more...professional....you may contact me more personally. (You'll find me listed as "Mr. Tusk" ;))

[OOC: hello, and welcome to my Corkscrew/Shtopor ask blog! I am the mod ( @shiro-unknown if you wish to contact me, or on my alt @mishiro-scribbles). This is my own take on the Corkscrew character. If you don't like it, then kindly fuck off leave. I do not know Russian very well, so I may butcher the language. I will try my best not to, but if I do, I apologize in advance!

Corkscrew is a character in the POSTAL game series, which is known for foul language, NSFW humor (especially in Corkscrew RuLes. hard to avoid it when your main character literally loses his dick as part of the plot), and mentions/use of drugs among other things. As such, I ask that minors refrain from interacting (although, logically, I know some of you will. I can't stop everyone, I was you once, just be careful.) I may draw thigns sometimes. You'll know when it's not my art because I will tag as such. Muse's pronouns are he/him, Mod's are They/It/She Notable Headcanons for this interpretation of Corkscrew: - pansexual - best friend (with benefits) is Zhenya the Blade - generally friendly, but gets violent when angry - loves his job - very tall man - knows english, but will sometimes slip (mostly for my sanity as the mod) - sometimes accidentally switches between masc and fem voice (muahaha) [look for #femscrew] this may be edited as needed or as memory serves. Corkscrew's responses may or may not always be in blue, so look out for the ooc indicator.

[puricodraws]

Here's a long post no one asked for, but I gotta get off my chest. Lots of infodumping about Kingdom Hearts and in particular the casting of it's voice talent, so strap in y'all. So something I find very interesting is the way Square/Disney has treated the character of Kairi throughout the years. She started out as a damsel character, and was hated by very vocal group in the fanbase. I myself didn't really care about Kairi any which way, I didn't find her particularly interesting and I could understand the hate for the character like... a little bit? But what's funny to me is how that perception has changed over the years. Maybe there is still a very vocal group of people hating on Kairi on some forum I'm not aware of but I feel like the general consensus on her these days is: That's our girl. We can recognize that she is a victim of bad writing and the damsel trope. She's become a bit of un underdog in my mind. Like, treat her better Square! Come on!

The issue with Kairi is that she's just a... nothing sandwich. Kairi is a sweet girl, she likes Sora, she likes to write and makes good luck charms. She's also secretly a princess and therefore has a pure heart and can do nothing wrong. She is a little bit sassy sometimes, but not too much, she cares about her friends and will jump into danger to protect them, but most of the times she is the one who needs to be protected. She's strong, but not too strong, she's sweet and easygoing, and she's boring as hell. In the games at least... She rules in the manga.

In the game she softly lowers a bottled letter to Sora in the ocean, while in the manga she tosses it in there with all her might.

In the game she sort of runs away when Axel tries to kidnap her but in the manga she THROWS HANDS at one of the nobodies who tries to capture her.

Also later in the story when she is kidnapped by Organization XIII, she actually manages to escape for a bit by wiggling through the bars of her prison cell, and then throws hands at Demyx, who is actually trying to help her out. (the manga takes some liberties with the story, it's great you should really read it if you get the chance)

Shiro Amano actually lets her put up a fight and let her actually try to escape by herself when she's captured. Watching this girl be strong and throw hands without hesitation is so so great. Shiro Amano said: Girls should be allowed to go feral once in a while, as a treat. Also I would be amiss if I didn't mention this moment with Olette:

(In the game, Olette awkwardly and weakly puts up a hand to protect Kairi when Axel shows up in Twilight Town to kidnap her, but is just ignored in the most disrespectful way.)

Anyways, back to Kairi. It's sad to say, but her original characterization is just boring. She doesn't really want anything for herself and she doesn't really have a function in the story except to wait around for the boys to pay attention to her or get kidnapped and need to be rescued. And while in recent years the writers are finally exploring her being a keyblade weilder and having her actively participate in the story, they still just can't resist damseling the poor girl, fridging her, and putting her on the sidelines while Sora and Riku take center stage. It's great to see how the fandom's perception of her has changed over the years, people are seeing how Square has been dropping the ball and are actively rooting for Kairi to get more stuff to do. Fans are creating mods of the games to make Kairi playable, are writing fanfiction exploring role reversals where Kairi is the hero and there are several notible fan comics comics that explore her character in a really interesting way.

Anyways, now to get to the actual thing I wanted to talk about: How she's casted in the English version of the games, and how the inconsistent approach to the casting feels... a little disrespectful. Having a consistent voice for a character is something I, and many others really appreciate. It shows a level of care from the creators to bring a consistent group of actors together to bring life to the world. Now, VA's being replaced in the Kingdom Hearts series is not uncommon. The series is known for casting well known actors, and actor availability and budget are problems for which recasting is the solution. For example: Billy Zane got recast as Ansem by Richard Epcar, Brittany Snow by Meaghan Martin as Namine. And then of course there are Christopher Lee, Wayne Allwine, Leonard Nimoy and Rutger Hauer, who had to be recast because they sadly passed away. (RIP, Kings)

Like, all of that makes sense. So here's the confusing situation with Kairi:

Xion and Kairi share a VA in the JP version. This is an intentional creative decision that ties into the lore of Kingdom Hearts. Risa Uchida has consistently voiced these characters in Japanese for years and does a fabulous job.

Sadly this was not the case in the English version. Hayden Panettiere originated the role of Kairi in English, but they got Alyson Stoner to voice Xion when the character debuted in 358/2 days in 2009, which was originally a DS title. Before this they also got Alyson to voice Kairi in the re:Chain of Memories dub in 2008.

These titles were likely smaller budget, which becomes pretty obvious when you look at the overall quality and presentation of the cutscenes. In Kingdom Hearts 1 and 2 the dialogue was recorded in English and the japanese lipsynch animation were redone to match the English dialogue. This was not the case in 358/2 days. The dialogue was recorded to match the japanese lip flaps, and the animation was not altered at all to marry the two together. So availability and budget could have been an issue in getting Hayden Panettiere to record for these games. At the time I also considered the possibility that Hayden simply didn't want to do it anymore. It wouldn't have suprised me, because these things happen. Take Brittany Snow for example, after KH2 she got her big break in the Pitch Perfect films, and probably became too busy to come back as Namine. From 2006-2010 Hayden starred in the popular TV series Heroes, which could have impacted her availability and desire to do KH. And with the lower budget for these projects, and where Hayden was at in her carreer at the time, it could stand to reason that she was simply not interested. I should also mention that in this time period Kairi barely got anything to do. When she did show up it would be for a couple of lines of dialogue. As for Xion, 358/2 days on the DS had around 10 or so voiced cutscenes. So the amount of voice work needed for the character was notably smaller compared to one of the numbered games. So the amount of voice work needed, budget, and availability could all have been factors to why Alyson took over for Hayden during this time.

Now don't get me wrong: Alyson is amazing and is, as far as I'm concerned, the definitive voice for Xion. She originated the role and brought so much to the table. She has a wonderful voice, is a talented actress and we have no choice but to stan.

Before long it became apparent that Alyson replacing Hayden permanently was not on the table. In 2010 Hayden reprised her role as Kairi and took over the role of Xion in the secret ending of Birth By Sleep!

So at this point it seemed that the original creative intention for these characters would be honored. Kairi and Xion should have the same voice actress, for lore reasons, and that actress should be Hayden Panetiere, who originated the role.

And wouldn't you know it, in 2012 Kingdom Hearts Dream Drop Distance comes out for the 3DS. It's another hand held title, but the budget is lit. There is lipsynch animation for voiced cutscenes, and the amount of voiced cutscenes is comparable to KH1, KH2 and BBS. Kairi has a few appearances, but has only one line of dialogue. Same goes for Xion, while she does get a line of dialogue near the end of the game. Hayden came in to record for Kairi and Xion and it really seemed like she would be taking over the roles from Alyson.

So obviously, at this point in time it's all but confirmed that Hayden wants to work on KH, and the creative team were making an effort to consistently bring her back as Kairi and Xion. That would be a tough deal for Alyson though, was she gonna get replaced permanently as Xion? Well wait a second and I'll tell you!

So in 2013 Kingdom Hearts HD 1.5 Remix was released. It was the first in a series of HD remasters of the Kingdom Hearts series, and the collection included KH1, KH re:Chain of Memories and around 3 hours of newly made cutscenes retelling the story of the DS game 358/2 days. Days originally featured mostly textbox cutscenes. These scenes were remade from scratch and would feature newly recorded voice acting in Japanese and English. Now I don't need to get into it but... The 358/2 days cutscene "movie" is.. not very good. It's boring to watch through, which I think is to blame entirely for the way they approached it. They remade all the cutscenes true to their original appearance, but forgot that there's no action gameplay to break up hours of dialogue scenes. The pacing is bad, the action is non existent, and what's worse is that it doesn't have adjusted lipsynch animation at all. This means the English voice acting was done to match the japanese lip flaps, resulting in awkward pauses and weird deliveries of lines.

The saving grace was that Alyson Stoner was reprising her role as Xion, recording new dialogue for the cutscenes. They also reused her previously recorded dialogue for the DS cutscenes as well. So... I guess Hayden isn't taking over Xion after all? Or perhaps it was easier to get Alyson to come back, so that they could reuse some of the original voice lines from the DS version? I can't imagine that THAT would've been the deciding factor though, because there weren't that many cutscenes from the DS version that would have to be redubbed should they get Hayden back on board. It's hard to say what the reason for this was.

But I was happy to hear Alyson as Xion in the "definitive" version of the 358/2 days story. She has a pleasant voice, and she portrays Xion beautifully in my opinion.

So then KH HD 2.5 Remix comes out in 2014 and features no new Kairi/Xion content. It does feature the Final Mix version of KH2, originally released exclusively in Japan in 2007. This version had new cutscenes, which were now finally dubbed in English for the HD remaster. What's more is they they also reanimated the lip animation to match the new English voice acting! An interesting thing to mention is that at this time, Meaghan Martin had completely taken over the role of Namine, fully replacing Brittany Snow. They luckily didn't choose to redub Brittany's original lines with Meaghan. But it does result in this funny moment where following Roxas' prologue Namine's voice is suddenly different for a single scene.

Anyways, flash forward to 2017, and the release of Kingdom Hearts HD 2.8 Remix, which included a brand new title by the name of, and hold on to your wigs for this one....

Kingdom Hearts 0.2 Birth By Sleep -A Fragmentary Passage-

This was the first look at what a next gen Kingdom Hearts title would be like. You got to play as Aqua and it was wonderful and heartbreaking and cool as hell. At the end of this game a cutscene plays where after a decade Kairi finally gets to be involved in the plot again. She is summoned by Master Yen Sid to begin her training as a keyblade weilder. And she is voiced by.... Alyson Stoner??

A few years later KH3 came out, and Alyson Stoner voices both Kairi and Xion in it. She does a great job. But it's all so confusing.

It seemed so clear that the studio's intent was to get Hayden back as Kairi, and potentially Xion as well. And KH3 was the next big budget numbered title in the franchise. The casting for this game was insane, they got the full cast of Frozen to reprise their roles. Idina Mcfreaking Menzel showed up for Kingdom Hearts! What happened to getting Hayden back? I don't get it at all. This is not to shit on Alyson at all, her Kairi is adorable, and I honestly can't imagine anybody but Alyson Stoner playing Xion. Whenever Hayden picked up the role of Xion I was excited to hear her, but it never felt quite right.

But yeah, this whole situation unfolded in the weirdest of ways. For years it seemed they were absulutely set on getting Hayden to voice these characters. Was she not available to come in for KH3? Well, to answer that question:

Apparently, Hayden wasn't even ASKED to reprise Kairi.

This could of course be a situation of her representatives getting the offer from Square/Disney and choosing not to give it to her. Which happens in Hollywood, and sucks. But there's also a very real chance that Square/Disney didn't even bother reaching out and offering it to her.

Seeing how they decided to recast Hayner, Pence and Olette in KH3, even though their actors are still working as VA's and would have likely loved reprise the roles, I'm leaning to the possibility that they simply didn't bother to reach out to Hayden.

Hell, that's what she said herself.

All in all it's an interesting series of events. It's confusing, and a bit saddening as well. I can speculate why it all happened, but who can really be sure what their reason for replacing Hayden were. Perhaps they decided to do it because they found Alyson to be a better fit for the character? I may be reading into things but there's this interview Hayden did for the release of KH2 were she talks about the recording process and how the voice directors would keep telling her to "raise her voice an octave higher and make it sound more princess like." I gotta say the way she said that irks me..... I love the way Kairi's voice sounds in KH2! Hayden has a beautiful voice, it's a bit lower and more mature sounding than your average cutie girl voice. I would have loved to hear that quality in the character moving forward. Alyson ended up doing a lighter, cuter version of Kairi in KH3. And I do enjoy how Kairi sounds in KH3. Like, it's fine, she sounds very adorable, and it's fine.

But idk man... it feels... weird. I can't help but feel as though they replaced her voice with a younger sounding one, taking away the strength and maturity of the voice that I loved so much. Effectively infantelizing her. And then of course they proceed to damsel her, fridge her, bring her back to life and put her on the sidelines for the foreseeable future.

I feel like it all ties together with how the writers see her. She's not really a main character after all, she's not a priority. After years of showing a dedication to keep her voice consistent, it was all just thrown out of the window in the end. It makes me feel like they just didn't care in the end, people would be more upset if Sora or Riku got recast, but they just assumed no one would really care about Kairi. I can't help but care though.

I just wish for a future where Kairi can become a main player in the story, and where she is allowed to grow and mature. Where she isn't used as a carrot to dangle in front of the male lead. Where she isn't kidnapped or killed off as motivation for someone else. Where she can be a girl who is not just pretty and adorable and easy going and sweet, but a girl who is strong, silly, determined and is willing to fight like hell for the things she cares about.

Where she is allowed to interact with the world around her, and discover what her place in it is. Where she can discover what she wants for herself, instead of constantly having to be something for someone else!

IDK, maybe that's too much to ask from a Kingdom Hearts game though, haha.

Timothy, if you did an escape room with Maggie, do you think you'd get out on time?

I'd certainly hope so! She may be a capable detective, but I do not have time to dilly, nor dally!

The schedule must be abided by, above all else. I simply do not have time allocated for an escape room.

I saw a post that reminded me of this which is why I'm talking about this out of the blue but whenever I see the 'do canonically male characters you headcanon as trans girls count as female characters' debate pops up I remember this one event from the Voltron fandom where an f/f ship week banned genderbending and people lost their SHIT about it, SPECIFICALLY because the mods were like 'we want people to actually focus on the female characters and not submit already popular m/m ships but genderbent'.

This was years ago obviously so standard 'my memory may be fuzzy' disclaimer, but while I believe part of the reasons the mods banned genderbending was bc they believed it to be transphobic (which you could actually argue against and is a stance I don't agree with), and ppl were using that as leverage to argue, but that's not what ppl were actually angry about. Also, I believe the event was run by antis, who had a 'no age gap ships' rule in place, and people were mad about that, but like. The only f/f ships at the time with even kind of an age gap were ones involving Pidge, (which, again, for the record, I never personally gave much of a shit about), and yeah I do believe those were banned and ppl were pissy about that, but most of the ppl arguing with the ship restrictions were doing so in combination with the genderbending restriction, bc what they were mad about wasn't actually about a major female character being banned from the f/f ship week for Ship Discourse Reasons.

What they were angry about was specifically being told their genderbent m/m ships didn't count because they did not, in fact, contain female characters. Arguments were made that, because it was genderbent, it was now f/f and should be allowed in the f/f ship week. The mods went no, those are still canon male characters and popular m/m ships, and we're trying to run a week about the female characters and f/f ships because they don't get enough attention. The mods were fending accusatory and argumentative asks for ages and told people to create their own f/f ship week if they didn't like how theirs was run, which. People did.

A counter f/f ship week was organized but with less restrictions, specifically the restriction on genderbending was lifted. Now, I never followed Ship Week B, because I don't care about shipping and I was there to see more attention given to the female characters, which allowing genderbent m/m content seemed pretty anathema to. But I did check in on it out of curiosity, and to no-one's surprise, Ship Week B contained very large amounts of mostly genderbent sheith, with some shiro/lance and lance/keith thrown in. Like, I'm sure there was also actual f/f content (I remember there being some Pidge/Allura specifically), but I remember very little of it.

And as I alluded to in the large Nuance Disclaimer paragraph: yes this was the Voltron fandom, yes the Disk Horse was involved and made everything far more explosive than it probably would've been otherwise, and also, if the mods hadn't explicitly put the genderbending restriction in the rules list they probably would've gotten maybe a few genderbent m/m submissions tops. It's pretty obvious that a large motivation for Ship Week B was spite, and as someone whose username is literally spitecentral on AO3, I can confirm there is no stronger motivation for fan content than spite. I don't actually think that genderbent m/m is such a major problem in f/f spaces that it needs to be explicitly banned to avoid having it overrun ship weeks.

But even taking all that into account, this whole thing was completely fucking bonkers. Regardless of your opinions on the mods' opinions on genderbending and the Disk Horse, asking ppl not to submit genderbent m/m content on account of it not containing canon female characters is completely reasonable, and the fact that people got mad enough about it to create a whole seperate f/f ship week SPECIFICALLY to allow genderbent m/m content is insane. All the f/f ship week asked was for people to pay attention to female characters for once, and people threw a fucking tantrum about it and not only point-blank refused, but created more content for the male characters out of spite.

So yeah that was kind of a formative fandom experience to me that taught me:

People will take any excuse possible to avoid paying attention to female characters.

People will make literally anything, up to and including female character-centric fandom events, about men.

And that's what I think about any time I see people get offended when others point out that headcanoning a canon male character as a trans girl isn't the same as engaging with female characters.

I'm still physically wiped out and my head's too fuzzy to do 'real' writing/revisions on my story, but I'm just coherent enough that I want to chitter-chatter about my fic.

So in the course of working on Choices, one of the things I've spent an inordinate amount of time on is figuring out the 'cohorts' for the valleyfolk. What I mean by 'cohorts' are the groups of people who are in a similar age-range to one another and then further subdivided into 'natives' (aka 'people who grew up together in the valley') and 'transplants.' After all, one of the things I'm trying to accomplish is interweaving three large expansion mods with the base game and coming up with a cohesive whole, and that means knowing who from the various mods have known each other basically forever.

Under the cut, I break down who's in what cohort. I may or may not later flesh out my thinking about why I plopped certain people into certain groups, mostly because when I started to do so with this list, the post grew disgustingly (more) bloated. If I do, I'll probably do a separate post for each cohort. After all, this is the site for rambling about this sort of random stuff, right? 😅 (Edit: that's exactly how I spent my afternoon. You can find my thoughts on each cohort here: Gen 1, Gen 2, Gen 3, Gen 4, Gen 5.)

If you squint just right, these could be considered spoilers for SVE/Ridgeside/East Scarp.

I divided the population of the valley into five different cohorts/generations. Ages are based on how old they are/would be during the course of Choices. They are also in order of eldest down to youngest. I have actual ages recorded for most of the characters, but it cluttered up this list waaay too much.

Hi, all.

You may have noticed that, about a year ago, this little blog crashed into a wall with a not-so-pleasant ending. The original admin uploaded a (really great!) vinyl rip of No Sleep ‘til Athens alongside an abrupt message that she was going to take her own life, followed by an immense, resounding silence.

I am not going to deny what happened, but I won’t be going into depth in deference to her privacy. What’s good though is that I can confirm very easily that she survived her attempt. I, the writer of this update, am her (irl) boyfriend of 4 months; on her behalf, I will say that things are going well as can be nowadays.

Anyway, here’s the actual state of the blog as of now. I’ll do my best to cover all my bases. (TL;DR: We’re back in business, baby!)

The main deal, if you haven’t already gathered: @leifedling is now a joint account. The blog is not being left to me and me alone! Shiro (the original admin) and I will both be posting here as we please.

For distinguishing and theatric purposes, we will now be including sign-offs for each post. I will sign posts I write with Mod Leffe. Shiro will sign her posts with Mod Rob.

Mod posts will also be tagged as such.

As of now, there is no specific posting schedule. (I don’t think there ever was one in the first place anyway.) We are busy and troubled people and so we will upload scans, photos, interviews, clips, and so on simply when we can/when we want. We’ll try to be active, keyword being try…

This is for fun! I think I am a bit more serious or formal than Shiro Mod Rob, hem hem, but this is still just a hobby for me.

That should be everything important. I’m happy to be here, and I hope if anybody is interested in this blog, they will be happy to have me. ‘Til then, peace love and doom motherfuckers!!!!

- Mod Leffe

Hodwy!

Can you give me some silly facts about your farmer? Since I've only been on this platform for a short time, I never got to know them.

Umm i.. actually don't know anything at all about them hehe

Heya Shiro 👋 I had several posts when I answered questions about my OC Julian, so I'll point you to the links below (there seems to be some interesting facts about him there). I'm also thinking of changing my OC's story, since I've started slowly learning the Ridgeside Village mod and trying to describe my character with the canon of the two mods so there aren't too many holes in the story. Thanks for asking about my OC! ❤️

Farmer Julian (ask meme)

More Festival ask meme

Behold, even more festival ask meme

Random info about Julian

Some info about Julian and SVE Lance (his lover/husband! My lovely pink haired man!)

More lore and random facts

My OC Julian's portrait (thanks to @jazhand for this! You should also check this portrait creator, it was super fun)

Little story about Julian and Foxbloom honey

And again, more festival asks (this one from @girls4camilla post). And more here 👈

Little fic about Julian/Lance (it's a little NSFW, so be aware ☝️)

I probably missed some links, but oh well...

Again, thanks for interests about my OC (and thanks for your arts ❤️)

Verses [General]

BIG HERO 6 VERSES

BEFORE THE BOOM [Pre-Film]

Tadashi is the big brother to Hiro Hamada– and lives above the Lucky Cat Cafe with his Aunt Cass. After the death of his parents, he was left looking after his brother. Thankful for his aunt’s help– Tadashi takes his role as Hiro’s big brother seriously, and is working on a special project to make life easier for everyone– something he calls Project Baymax.

BURNED AND BURNED AGAIN [BH6 Series]

Now Shiro Yoshida– he awakens to find a world of heroes and villains. Under Obake’s tutelage, Shiro works toward learning to control his abilities and puts them to use helping his boss. He does odd jobs for those who take their bots to underground bot fighting, and provides dangerous mods and weapons for the right price.

HELLFIRE  [Post Obake AU]

With his mentor defeated, Shiro formulates his own plans to defeat Big Hero 6. He prefers to remain in the shadows, like his mentor– and even acquires information on the team members. He intends to take them out slowly– one by one until the only things left standing are that annoying boy and his eerily familiar robot.

REDEMPTION [Reunion AU]

With most of his memories returned, Tadashi turns himself into the San Fransokyo Police to serve time for the crimes committed by Shiro Yoshida. He’s let off easy, thanks to a good word from Boss Awesome and Big Hero 6. Tadashi is happy enough helping Cass around the Lucky Cat– but he seems to have more of a temper than he did before the accident. On occasion he assists Big Hero 6– despite having a tendency to lose his cool.

CROSSOVERS

ULTRAMAN: RISING

Wherein the events of Ultraman: Rising take place within the world of Big Hero 6. Kenji Sato lives in San Fransokyo with his mother and father. He’s got a best friend from school, Tadashi Hamada. ‘Ken’ and 'Dashi’ are inseparable, in that sweet way young boys are. Literally BFFFs. But when a kaiju attack takes the lives of Tadashi’s parents– his best friend leaves without a word as well.

Only for the two to meet up again– over a decade later.

FALLEN TO DARKNESS [Kingdom Hearts]

WIP [still brainstorming]
