My favorite Kingdom Hearts fact is that one of the biggest plot-holes that Nomura has never been able to meaningfully retcon or write his way out, a plot-hole so big that it fundamentally breaks the very rules the series is written on…

Is the existence of Steamboat Willie

Let me explain for the uninitiated:

In Kingdom Hearts 2, there’s a small detour in the story involving Maleficent trying to invade Disney Castle, the home of King Mickey. She can’t step foot in the castle due to an artefact of pure light that wards off darkness locked in the basement.

Pete, who is working for Maleficent, opens a door into the past (Before Disney Castle, this land was known as Timeless River) and decides to remove the artifact from it’s place in time so it won’t be there to stop them from getting in.

Sora, Donald, and Goofy chase Pete into the past thanks to another magic door provided by Merlin, and through some shenanigans involving old cartoons and teaming up with Pete’s past-self, they lock the door the villains are using, and return the artefact to it’s proper place so it can exist in the present.

You with me so far? Pretty straightforward-ish time-travel plot right?

Here’s where it goes off the rails.

Time travel would go on to become a staple of Kingdom Hearts going forward and would come with a very strict set of rules over how it operates:

1. You can only travel to a point in time where a version of yourself exists

2. You basically give up your body to do so, and travel as a disembodied soul unless you have a vessel to inhabit

3. You can’t alter the past in a meaningful way, what’s going to happen will happen

4. You lose your memories of said trip once you return, but your actions could leave a lingering instinct on your other self that could influence their decisions

“Wait” you may be thinking “Why should anyone go through all those hoops? Wasn’t time travel super simple that first time?”

And you’d be totally right, because the existence of Timeless River completely renders all of these rules and restrictions meaningless. 

There is no version of Sora that existed in Timeless River before he step foot there, everyone kept their bodies, the trio and Pete were able to mess with the timeline as freely as they pleased, and they all very much remember their trip. 

Nomura has never been able to meaningfully explain this super simple, easy way of time travel and the more convoluted method co-existing other than a cheap-throwaway line from one of the villains saying that Merlin “broke the rules” 

The hilarious part about this line is that it implies that PETE of all characters is actually more powerful than the actual villain of the series, because Pete opened a door into Timeless River through sheer willpower and nostalgia for “the good old days”

But the all-knowing chess-master of a villain who had an evil plan several decades in the making with countless moving parts and contingencies to account for had to use the roundabout, more complicated method of time travel where a lot could go wrong.

Pete though? Dude just casually broke all the rules of time travel because he felt like it. He’s just built different.

TL;DR: Steamboat Willie breaks Kingdom Hearts lore in half, Pete is more powerful than Master Xehanort, and I fucking love this beautiful trainwreck of a series you guys it means so much to me

I love Kingdom hearts so much.

Donia @doniatanani reached out to me to help share her brother Said’s fundraiser. He is urgently trying to evacuate he and his brothers from Gaza to Egypt. Please donate and share, and if you can’t donate, please still share!

From Said’s GFM:

I'm Said Tanani from Gaza, I'm reaching out to you with a heavy heart and a plea for help getting me and my brothers out of Gaza, Me and my brothers, left our home under the continuous bombardment and artillery strikes, on foot, without carrying with us our personal supplies, our stuff, or even our money, heading from Gaza to Rafah. we lived the most difficult days of our lives in a shelter with scarce resources, sleeping on the ground. Without covers, without drinking a healthy water, without the importance life nessecary.

By now, many of you may be aware of the dire and heartbreaking situation unfolding in Gaza. It pains me deeply to share that me and my brothers are currently trapped in Gaza amidst relentless bombings, desperately seeking refuge and safety.

We are currently seeking help to evacuate from Gaza to Egypt looking for a safe and healthy place. But Unfortunately, the costs are exorbitant and change dramatically and unexpectedly by the day, as Israel's grip on the south of Gaza intensifies in the coming days and weeks, the costs will continue to rise as the demand increases and the number of agents operating the evacuation routes drops.

As of late March the evacuation fee ranges between $8,000 and $10,000 per person, before processing and transport fees, and we will pay the higher end of the range since me ,Abadi and Mohammed.

Any amount raised beyond the total will be used to supplement me & my brothers lives as refugees in Egypt.

Your donation, no matter how small, will make an impact. You will be contributing to getting my brothers to safety. The funds will be used transparently and every dollar will go towards securing our evacuation.

Please share this campaign widely to help us reach our goal and bring my brothers to safety. Your support means more than you can imagine and I am incredibly grateful for any assistance you can provide during this challenging time.

Thank you for your compassion and generosity.

Together, we can make change and help my brothers find the safety and security they need.

With heartfelt gratitude

Said Tanani.

It bugs me not knowing where Yosuke and Yu kept their weapons if there not holding it in battle so i drew designs... And other stuff 🕺

[cottonfeltgembira]

"if you dare give up on yourself, if you want to die so badly, I'll kill you myself!" is a very good top tier flavour but also one in which I SWEAR is usually said between two characters who have already spent a lot of time together, and is a sentiment that affirms the strength of their bond, that "no one else can destroy you but me", that "I refuse to let you lose to anyone else so dont you dare surrender now"

For narukami yu - who is used to nothing but brief, transient relationships where he kept a careful, friendly distance - to say that to hanamura yosuke so shortly after their meeting... devastating actually. (Also I feel robbed that this was not a conversation the game? Atlus wtf wyd???)

There are a hundred other ways to convey encouragement without "I will kill you myself", and they do have to do that over and over again with the rest of the IT, but there really isn't anything like this.

I think it's a testament to how invested they became in each other from the get go; Yosuke might be the one to verbalise it first and call Yu his aibou, but within mere DAYS of meeting Yosuke, Yu was already in deep. They've probably had two or three conversations before this but Yu is already this committed towards Yosuke. Like what even were their interactions before this? Yosuke crashing into a telephone pole, Yosuke getting his nuts bashed in, Yosuke rolling around in a trashcan, Yosuke welcoming him to Inaba, Yosuke's determination to do what is right by Saki even if it meant putting his own life at risk-

Anyway Yosuke idk where you get off in thinking you're unwanted, Yu took one look at you and decided that he was going to tie his life to yours.

When a meme is representing the "bad/wrong" opinion with an image of a drooling person with a dented head, especially contrasted to white people with blonde hair and blue eyes, maybe it's time to reconsider posting or reblogging it. Just a thought.

bully: does your mama know you're gay?

me (thinking): a rhetorical trap... think... ah ha! 'when you have eliminated the impossible, whatever remaims, however improbable, must be the truth!' deductive reasoning, don't fail me now!
