Do boys only like skinny girls? Cause that’s what Jacob in my math class said and it made me kinda sad. :(

Well Jacob from math class is going to have a really rude awakening when he finds out 99.2% of girls aren't 20 lb underweight. He's going to have an even rooder awakening when I beat his ass after school.

Do you remember about 3 years back? When I wasn't eating at all? Well, I used to feel the same. I'm eating disorder and a shit ton of therapy later I can tell you it's not true. And if it was true, then most guys would be single.

Do you remember Candice? The one with all the piercings and the red hair? Yeah her. She wasn't thin, you think I gave a fuck? Not at all not once that I ever think about what size she was only if she could play Resident Evil because you sure as hell can't.

ANWAYS kid, Jacob is probably a booger picking idiot with no concept of women outside of Playboy magazines.

You're fine just the way you are and I'm proud of you.

The Kairi growth game I want

I've mentioned this to a couple people and even in a few posts I've made on this here site, but I want to jot down all the things I want from this non-numbered KH title with Kairi as the lead.

Naturally this assumes being caught up with the story so far, so clicking read more means you're okay with any spoilers or whatever.

First and foremost, the overall theme of the game will be "change is inevitable and can be good" along with "but can sometimes be bad and you need to learn to deal with it" to match the Aristotilean Catharsis needed to be a KH game. The reasoning being in what little character she is given, Kairi is consistently shown to be resistant to/afraid of change. To the point that I think her fixation on Sora is strongly built in that. Not that she doesn't care about him, let's get real, but it's not to the level a lot of people want to think, especially when we look at the Japanese text throughout the series, but especially the paopu scene in KH3. Not going into that, though.

So, the framing device is that while under the tutelage of Queen Master Aqua, Kairi needs to go on her own journey through DIsney worlds because of some new problem showing up that no one's aware of yet. Put a pin in that. So, alongside Xion and Namine, Kairi goes on this journey.

Gameplay-wise

Kairi would be the balanced character, Xion would be the strength, and Namine the mage. Ideally the player would need to switch between the three for varying purposes/puzzles in each world, aside from obvious combat purposes. They would be fully fleshed out characters, as much as, if not moreso, than Sora when we play as him and it will be necessary to get at least a basic understanding of how to play as all three girls to complete the game. Plus they'll unlock combo attacks, similar to the triangle ones Sora can do with his party members in KH3. But less... extra and more about keeping a good flow of combos tied to every other attack you'd be doing. And even some combos that would shift you to the other girl you weren't just playing as to maximize combo efficiency.

And what I mean by puzzles is essentially how Neo: The World Ends With You handled each individual character's abilities. I like how much that KH3 Xion mod leans towards her essentially being a mimic, so I'd want her to have to learn things and show/demonstrate it to someone else in order to obtain key items and allow progression. Naturally Namine's ability would be tied to her drawings and memories. Helping people remember details, making some people momentarily forget things if that person is blocking their path, and even extract information from others. Even if she goes all detective mode and uses her sketchpad to take notes, that would be delightful to see. Kairi, admittedly, may have the most boring seeming ability, but she literally just listens to people and helps them move on from what's bogging them down. She basically goes counselor mode, or acts like a Rooder to anyone familiar with Clock Tower 3. It ties into the theme, because she'll essentially have to help other people move on (sometimes needing to bring them something) and accept change, and by firsthand helping others with that, she'll slowly accept that with herself, too. But we'll circle around to this ability of helping people move on later. Don't forget it. Another pin, if you would.

As for the Disney worlds...

I think she should meet with at least a few of the other princesses to see what they've been up to. With Cinderella, they should 1000% use the plot from Cinderella 3, since the plot for that was one giant "what if" scenario created by time travel shenanigans, which would be a perfect embodiment of the change narrative. (and as a personal thing, I'd want Aqua to come along as well, since she has a rapport with Cinderella already and Aquarella reasons) As for the other princesses, just seeing their lives post-movies. Maybe Disney could give Nomura their scrapped ideas for that Disney Princess Enchanted Tales series and he can... make them good. Another would be an updated Disney Town outside of the castle. For the players, it could be fun to see how things either have or haven't changed, but I'd want it to be more than the mini-game world it was in BBS and actually have a plot. Maybe even be like one giant check-in to see how Mickey's been dealing with his Scala Ad Caelum investigation to tie things back to the central plot for a bit and update things on any potential goings on with the foretellers. I imagine while the girls are journeying, Aqua is doing her own thing and comes across some info about the foretellers, as well. So her and Mickey can basically be having a meeting about what they've found while Kairi, Namine, and Xion learn about all of this. I would find it interesting to see Kairi deal with a Winnie the Pooh situation, if for no other reason than the fact Pooh has been used as her parallel in both KH2 and 3, so it could be interesting to see. Plus I just think they'd all get along so well.

While traveling, the three girls have so many good bonding and growth moments. We'll see Namine actually get to be happy and have agency over herself. Xion won't need to angst over her existence and will get to thrive with her own identity. Kairi will actually be glad to have time traveling with them and it'll gradually dawn on her that she really doesn't need to rely on Sora (and I guess Riku, though post KH2, those two haven't really done much, except for that conversation in MoM) and she can rely on all her other friends and they can rely on her, too. To get a little headcanony right now, I've ALWAYS imagined Kairi being someone who is incredibly competitive, so I would love for that to come out in this game, in a friendly way with the other two. I also imagine Xion has a bit of a short fuse, but will also come back down quickly. And Namine would be the one to generally keep the peace if things got too heavy or dangerous, but when she does get agitated at all, she goes silent and is actually terrifying with the vibe she gives off. They're treated as so similar in the narrative we've seen so far, but I want them to be able to bounce off each other in the most delightfully different ways possible.

Going back to that pin about the new problem no one's sure about and Kairi's power

Yeah, so throughout the game there would be allusions and cutaway scenes hinting and foreshadowing it, but the problem and enemies have to do with the foretellers coming back. I don't want to stomp on Nomura's plan for how they're around current day, but I imagine it's a more perfected time travel magic than what Xehanort was using or something tied to the Gazing Eye. Either way, between their time travel, Sora's escapades at the end of KH3, Riku doing The Tear, and also Riku going across realities to find Sora, the space-time could be getting wobbly and enemies from the past and future are slipping through. I personally don't think we need to introduce another kind of enemy on this side of reality, but if they have to, I'd want it something from the Final World slipping into the realm of light and it turning into some kind of monster, since it's somewhere it shouldn't be. What I would like most is for any Darklings from the Ux keyblade wielders to arrive and introduce our current day allies to the concept of Darklings. It would give Aqua more to angst about since she almost became one, will be tied to Ven and his Ux memories, and most importantly, it will be involved in Kairi realizing her power. Her unique edge over every other keyblade wielder. She's the only princess of heart who wields a keyblade. While other keyblade wielders struggle with the dark and even fighting Darklings, she is innately not going to struggle with that. She is a keyblade wielder of pure light. This gives her unique powers that other keyblade wielders just can't have that lets her easily conquer Darklings and even save them. Because remember how her ability throughout the game has been to help people move on? This power to heal Darklings is an extension of that ability. Essentially meaning that by Kairi accepting the inevitability of change and learning to grow and deal with it, she's able to heal the tormented, darkened souls of ancient keyblade wielders.

The end of the game, aside from all the good growth for these three characters who tend to get shafted by the narrative, would further the foreteller plot and display a new adversary on this side of reality with the time-space continuum being wonky.

And to wrap it all up, I'd want the name to be Kingdom Hearts: Aqua's Angels and for Aqua's Angels to be it's own subseries, I don't care how realistic or not that is, I want these chararcters to thrive.

If I think of anything more, I'll probably just reblog myself.

‼️CLOCK TOWER 3 SPOILERS‼️

we really like how uncomfortable clock tower 3 feels with Alyssa and her grandfather. how he marries into this family and takes it up on himself to preserve the bloodline. how he's controlling and sees himself as owning his daughter and granddaughter. how his need for possession of Alyssa and the Rooder power literally drives him to attempt to kill her and merge them together.

we love horror games that focus on girlhood in general, but clock tower 3's focus on controlling/abusive paternal figures and a lineage of girls killed by evil men in their lives to take their power is so good. like the "harvesting" of a 14 year old girl's power before she loses it.

Death Note X clocktower 3 bit

(Mello's kidnapping happens earlier in the year for Clocktower 3 plot reasons)

---

In the Yagami household, the children follow the path of their parents. Light stays in his room, studying until he goes mad and talks to himself presumably, and Sayu comes home tired, too tired to do her homework. Not after the day she has had. Not in a world of Kira. No, watching her idol is far more relaxing. 

Her mother looks at her, and Sayu knows what she would say without listening. "Kira or no Kira, you shouldn't slack on your schoolwork"

That she doesn't say, means she does remember enough. Being a teenager is tough, and being a teenage Rooder is tougher. 

Light is a boy, and that means he follows Father into Policework. You are your Mothers daughter, and that means you are a Rooder, as your grandmother was, and your ancestors before you. 

Your mother always told stories about myths when you were a child. Now that you are old enough to know why, you are not sure what to think of her for it. It's cool when Sayu was a little girl getting lessons in ningata, yumi, and history. Memorizing spells and magic item use is fun as a kid. Less fun to put your knowledge and skill to use. Sayu looks forward to adulthood. None of her ancestors were a teenage rooder in the time of Kira.

Kira. At first Sayu thought it might be easier to be a Rooder in the age of Kira. And maybe it will be for future rooders. But now Sayu is kept so busy by all of the recent dead that she barely has time to herself. Lights door stays shut, his voice muttering about something inside. Sayu is too tired to eavesdrop anymore.

She doesn't really care about what Light gets up to these days. He's never home.

He probably won't be home for her birthday, by the time she gets home.

Sayu gets on the plane. She has newspapers to read up on for the last case she will take on before her birthday.

She feels tired . Maybe for a few minuets she could sleep. Just to cacth up.

She doesn't notice her drink spalsh on the floor.

...

.

When she wakes up, she notices many alarming things.

The lack of light. 

The duct tape binding her.

The cramped position she is in.

She tries not to panic

Once, Light had showed her a Tutorial for how to get out of duct tape. 

She washes her hands. She doesn't know if the tape is rolled. If not, maybe this can roll it. 

She doesn't know how long she spends on the floor of a car washing her hands backwards. By the time her hands are free, her skin feels raw. 

She feels her clothes to try to find something that could free her feet, and feels the rustle of paper. 

She pulls it out. 

It's the newspaper clippings. 

Well Shit. 

It's a shot in the dark (literally and figuratively ), but assuming she doesn't get killed on entry, she does have better odds in a place she can move, over unknown destination she is being taken to in the back of a trunk. 

Between an unkown destination and murder victims, she will take the victims. At least its familar after all these years

It's time to see if she can use blood and a newspaper to create a portal blind. 

---

Mello is outraged to discover that the confirmed capture of Sayu Yagami was subverted when she managed to disappear from a locked trunk, upon opening it and finding no sign of tampering. 

Searches of the road find no sign of her either. 

Maybe she was Kira. 

It's not like anyone can give him a good explanation for how it happened.

After that Claire illus, I found this nearly-finished file from January of Alyssa from Clock Tower and was surprised at how similar they were! So here’s Alyssa looking as bloody and grimy as a horror game protagonist should be~ I really love painting injuries and muck, haha!

(ID: Two images, one focusing on the finished illustration of a girl in a British school uniform with scraped knees and covered in the usual dirt and grime of being a horror game protagonist. The second image shows the breakdown of the final render, ink, and sketch stages of the piece.)

Okay so I’m currently doing some coursework for one of my English classes, and we are learning IPA.

And I can’t for the life of me understand what [ˈɹuːdɹ̩] is supposed be. I’m not a native English speaker so my head is just blank
