hi! can i request some yandere xigbar hcs? especially if he managed to start dating his darling without giving away his real feelings?

sure thingy! i thought i'd had a couple of yandere xigbar posts out there but turns out they're all in drafts lmfao...

as usual, warning for yandere themes!

Considering Xigbar as a whole, he's absolutely one of the most dangerous types of yandere - acting and playing out various roles has become second nature to him due to his overall goals, to the point where he can easily slip into any convenient persona when needed. He knows how to talk his way into and out of anything, and he knows you like the back of his hand.

If you happen to notice something slightly off about him, it's only because he allowed you to, allowing a small glimpse into what lurks underneath. Enough to make you feel bad or guilty, all to "correct" your behaviour and actions - because you're a good person. You would never want to make your loved ones miserable or angry, would you?

But! That doesn't happen often, if at all! Because Xigbar knows that it's better to keep you happy and content. The more attached you get to his silly antics and teasing, his aura of mystery and so on, the better it will be for him on the long run. He loves playing all these mind games, fueling the illusion of equality in this relationship.

In your eyes, all this initial flirting and courtship is a fun game of push and pull, you're both figuring each other's quirks and all - but it's all carefully planned and played out. I'd say he's similar to Axel in this way, always making you come back - either because of that sense of mystery or security that only he can offer. He doesn't isolate you from the others, he just makes sure to be the one you always want to come back to at the end of the day.

If he wanted to, he could spend this current lifetime (and the next one, and the next one, and the one after that - it's silly to think he'd let you go that easily) pretending to be in a completely normal, wholesome and fun relationship with you! And you wouldn't know any better! Whereas some other characters like Saix and Vexen tend to have very scary and drastic changes in personality whenever they feel like they're losing control over your love, thoughts and actions, Xigbar knows how to subtly steer you into the right direction. He'd call it fate, the way you two end up together amidst all this chaos and drama - you two were just meant to be! - but there was no other way it could've ended.

Still, as fun as it might be to keep you in the dark forever, blissfully ignorant, Xigbar is curious and loves to fuck around and find out - when the routine becomes too boring for him, you can expect him to start ignoring you, giving you the cold shoulder. He grows distant and muted, out of the blue, leaving you wondering if you've done something to upset him, or if he's bottling something up. Seeing you so concerned, trailing after him like a lost puppy and finding ways to make up and talk things through, cheer him up, or give him his space - he eats that shit up. Getting reactions out of people is always a treat, so getting to see all these new sides of you is even better.

There is a very, very small chance that he comes clean about everything - and it's not during some heated fight or done on purpose to scare you into staying. Generally, Xigbar is pretty confident and careful - you leaving him is not a possibility, because he's worked very hard in the shadows to ensure that you love him, not as much as he loves you, of course, but close enough. Generally, he likes to make you feel special, like you were the one to crack the mystery of the millennium and figure out his secrets. But one thing Xigbar always neglects is that small, terrible thought that you don't know him at all - because he doesn't know himself.

This stems from centuries of changing identities and bodies, leftover issues that he outlived lifetimes ago, now rearing their ugly little heads whenever he shares a quiet moment with you. When both of you sit, comfortably nestled into each other. Or when he rests his head on your lap, your hand on his hair while you pay attention to something else. Xigbar wonders if you would've loved him at his most vulnerable, back when he was just Luxu. And because Xigbar can't help but stir the pot, there's a small chance that he confesses to everything he's done to make you love him, curious about your reaction.

He's not scared of the possibility of you hating him, he's just curious, staring at you with slightly wide, golden eyes. Like he just confessed to eating the last sea salt ice-cream in the fridge that you bought specifically for yourself. He won't be mad if you start fearing and pushing him away. And he won't start celebrating or acting smug if you, somehow, accept all the horrible things he's confessing to, that you still love him regardless of it all. It's unnerving, a perfect display of what centuries of loss have done to him. The closest one can get to see what remains of Luxu under all these layers. You have to understand that Xigbar has cheated death, the one universal truth in this world and all others, he manipulates space because the concept of permanence is a joke to him - so he can just make you love him again, in this life or the next one.

Destiny Trio - Love Languages

Headcanons and analysis on Sora, Kairi and Riku's love languages and the way they show their appreciation.

I started writing a draft with this very same prompt for the orgxiii but my god, i forgot how time consuming it is to write for 14 people all at once without repeating myself too much

so i'm taking a break from that by doing the exact same thing with less characters lmfao

Giving: Acts of Service, Physical Touch

Receiving: Gifts, Quality Time

[Acts of Service]

Sora is a bleeding heart through and through, so it makes sense to me that his first and foremost love language is acts of service - one way or another, he's always doing things for the sake of others, both big and small. Without a doubt, Sora is the type of person who would gladly give you the world and ask for nothing in return.

Because he's willing to help anyone, it's extremely easy to see Sora as gullible, naive and easy to take advantage of. And that might've been true when he was younger! However, those closest to him know about that stubborn streak of his: every day, Sora wakes up and actively chooses kindness over everything else.

This intense mindset is what drives him forward, it's also what makes Sora so reliable. No matter the situation, he'll always be there for those he cares about.

He'll be there if you need someone to help you with chores or to keep you company during sleepless nights, telling you all about his adventures until you fall asleep. He's the one staying behind on the island, looking for that good luck charm Kairi gave you, the one you lost while playing on the beach. The second he hears you're sick, or lonely, or feeling bad in general, he's at your doorstep calling out your name, so that you can tell him how to help. To him, the best feeling is knowing that his loved ones are cared for and safe, that they don't have to worry about anything.

And because he makes friends wherever he goes, it means he has many, many connections. If he can't help you out directly, then chances are he knows someone who absolutely can.

Out of the group, the one who gets carried away the most is Sora. So in this case, acts of service is a double-edged sword - he'll stop at nothing to help others or to do what he believes will soothe their pain, even if it means sacrificing himself for it.

One of my favorite portrayals of Sora is seeing how years of being "the chosen one" affected him while growing up, to the point where he doesn't see any alternatives to martyrdom because he's so used to carrying the weight of the world on his shoulders. So whenever he wants to show someone that he cares, he does it through acts of service because - in his eyes - there's nothing else that he can offer other than being helpful and fixing what's wrong. Because he's supposed to being the one to save everything and everyone.

[Physical Touch]

This love language isn't as loaded as the previous one - Sora is just a naturally touchy-feely, clingy person!

He's usually leaning or touching his friends and loved ones in some manner, either by having an arm around their shoulders, holding their hand, linking arms, leaning on them, etc... You name it! Hell, this isn't even limited to people Sora knows or cares about, because he'll also be pretty friendly and casually affectionate with people he just met.

His welcoming aura, paired with the incredible hugs he gives, makes Sora an absolute machine when it comes to getting people to eventually drop their guard, no matter how hesitant they may be towards physical contact. The main example to this is Riku!

Of course, if confronted directly about boundaries and such, Sora would respect them to the best of his ability and make it an habit of asking for permission before doing anything.

Also I lied, there is a bittersweet tone to Sora's affections.

It might not seem like it, since he's extremely casual with physical touch, it means a lot to him. In a way, being able to reach out to people, know they're right there next to him, that he can actually hug them, helps ground Sora.

I imagine he becomes even clingier over the years, a side-effect to constantly losing his best friends and all the people he's befriended in his journeys. One would expect physical touch to be a love language he likes to receive instead of give, but it all ties back to Sora's inability to let himself be cared for.

Perhaps he re-contextualizes it as him letting others know that he'll always be there, that they're the ones who can reach out for him and he'll actually be there - as opposed to him needing their presence to feel whole and calm. Who knows!

Receiving: Acts of Service, Quality Time

[Gifts]

Kairi is also very openly affectionate with her loved ones, but she shows how much she cares about them through gifts.

Typically, she tries to get small, cute and useful things to her friends - perhaps erasers shaped like fun animals, hair clips to keep the hair out of your face or some scrunchies, sometimes it's things she knows you've been eyeing for awhile. Sometimes it's matching lunchboxes! Kairi is extremely attentive to her surroundings and those around her, so her gifts tend to come in at just the right moment. Like Sora, she likes to make the lives of her loved ones a bit easier and more colorful.

Her love for lucky charms and trinkets is known by almost everyone on the islands, but contrary to popular belief, Kairi only makes them for very special occasions - they're very meaningful gifts for her, after all! In her words, if she were to give everyone she knows one, they would lose all their magic.

Like the ones she gives to Sora, these charms are meant to represent a promise between her and her loved ones - that you'll come back safe and sound to her, that you'll never forget her. Because Kairi is used to being the one left behind, these charms are a way for her to be with all the people she has to say goodbye to, even if its just a very small part of her.

It also goes without saying that Kairi always gives the best gifts during any event that requires them, like Secret Santas, special holidays, birthdays and so on. Even if you don't know what type of gift you'd like, she'll figure it out. It's almost scary!

I also like to think that she's quite good at arts and crafts (and that's why Naminé is so artistic) as well as writing, so she'd include very heartfelt notes with her gifts.

[Words of Affirmation]

In KH2, we see that Kairi was very eager to start protecting Sora and Riku in return instead of staying by the sidelines, the culmination of all those themes about being left behind over and over - so I like to think that words of affirmation is Kairi's secondary love language because it's more of a skill she's had to develop over the years.

She was rarely allowed the chance to do anything for herself, but she knows that people will listen to her words, if that makes sense?

Like, let's be honest: as close as the Destiny Trio might be, growing up with two boys who will constantly fight for your attention is kind of tiring - the amount of mediating Kairi has had to do from a young age is amazing. So that awareness, paired with the fact that she was adopted by the mayor of the islands, made Kairi very aware of the effect her words would have on people, whether she liked it or not.

She's always been kind and considerate, but her words tend to be a little sweeter because of this whole thing. Whenever she sees someone in need of a listening ear, she'll be very gentle, allowing the other party to steer the conversation to whatever they're comfortable discussing with her.

Her advice is always solid, but it might feel a little distant to some, like she's specifically choosing to say the safest things for your situation.

This is something she outgrows as she becomes older, the current Kairi doesn't have to suppress her own stubbornness anymore, after all - she calls it how she sees it, and might tease you from time to time, but she always make sure that you feel heard, seen and cared for, passionately talking about how much you inspire her.

And this is also where her letters come into play! It's way easier for her to put thoughts and feelings into a letters or notes, because she does get flustered over rambling and gushing so much about her loved ones.

[Acts of Service]

Riku is a stark contrast to Sora and Kairi, he struggles with being as openly affectionate - both verbally and physically - as them, which leaves him with two love languages that don't necessarily focus on either of those two things.

He shares acts of service with Sora, but Riku helps those he cares about specifically to repay all the kindness and patience he's been shown. And in this aspect, he's more similar to Kairi - instead of grand gestures, both prefer to do little things to make others happy.

In fact, Riku doubles down on this. He's proud to know others rely on him, whenever someone might approach to ask him for help, but he greatly prefers helping from the shadows (less embarrassing and less chances to get flustered that way). He'll wake up early to make breakfast or make whatever necessary preparations for the day, just so that you can take a few extra minutes in bed. If you need to run errands, he's most likely taken care of half of them already so that you only have half of the work left.

To differentiate him more from Sora: Sora is on your doorstep the second he finds out you're sick, but Riku is most likely the reason you never got sick in the first place because he's probably been fussing about you wearing enough layers.

One thing I love to headcanon about Riku is that he's great at everything and anything - as long as he's doing it for someone else. He'll put in the extra effort if needed, but really he'll only succeed if his motivation is helping someone he cares about. And because he makes sure that no one sees his failures (if possible), it makes Riku come across as this perfect guy, which is most likely what fueled his rivalry with Sora when they were kids.

[Quality Time]

Because of the chaotic life he's led, Riku appreciates the quiet moments even more.

Whenever he feels restless, or whenever he sees his loved ones stressed and in need of a break, Riku won't hesitate to pull them away from their responsibilities into an impromptu date. You will hang out with him and you will relax or so help him.

Like every person native to Destiny Islands, his first instinct is to seek the nearest body of water (if the ocean isn't that easy to get to). An empty beach, river or lakeside on a sunny day is the perfect way to relax - whether you want to swim around, walk along the shore, or just dip your feet into the water and talk until the sun sets.

He's never been one for large crowds or huge outings with dozens of friends, so one-on-one time is perfect for someone like Riku. If you ever need someone to just sit with you in absolute silence, you can count on Riku to be there for you. If you need that to be a daily or weekly occurrence, he'll set up seven alarms to make sure he's never late.

You'll get to see Riku's most vulnerable side, when he trusts you enough to show that he genuinely wants to be closer to you - even if all you two do is talk about groceries, what you'd like to do next week or to show you the funny shit Kairi and Sora text him when half-asleep. He'll stumble over his words at times, apologize for the smallest of things that you never even noticed or thought were an issue, like getting a little sassy and regretting it instantly because what if you weren't as close as he thought you were, etc.

All in all, under all those layers of nonchalance and effortless perfection, Riku is one huge mess, but he trusts you enough to know that. And he'd be over the moon to know you also trusted him enough to lower your guard around him.

Do you take asks for yandere vanitas from KH?

yessir o7! i think there's at least one or two yandere vanitas requests somewhere in the askbox, but feel free to send another!

[nobodies-png]

Hello, hello!

Welcome to the blog, we're still around!

The main focus is Kingdom Hearts, including the mobile games, but we also take asks for TWEWY/NEO and FF15. As usual, it's yours truly -Mod Demyx- running things around here, feel free to use any pronouns and nicknames when addressing me, it's all chill!

If you'd like to follow me outside of this blog, here are my other accounts!

@jabberwockprince (main blog)

@jabberwockprinceart (art blog)

@vasito-de-leche (multifandom writing blog)

I won't write: matchups, anything regarding rape or self-harm, pregnacy, explicit NSFW.

I will write: Yandere and other dark content, AUs (here's a little list of media I'm familiar with for specific AUs!), platonic and romantic interactions. Continuations of previous works, in-depth analysis of characters, etc. Basically, free real estate!

Feel free to ask if you're unsure about your prompt! Under the cut, you can find the full list of rules and masterlists!

I.

Askbox will always remain open! You're all welcome to drop by for chitchat, to drop prompts, theories, heartcanons... And remember, this blog is not spoiler free! Asks are not answered in order, I generally go straight for those who catch my eye and delete those I don't want to reply.

II.

This blog takes requests for all KH games! But please, specify which version of the character you'd like for me to write, such as using their proper names (ie: Isa, instead of Saix) and from the specific game (ie: BbS Isa, KH3 Isa). Otherwise, I'll write for their most recent versions! You're also welcome to request for TWEWY/NEO TWEWY, plus Final Fantasy 15! I've decided to drop FF7 and it's remake due to lack of interest on those games from my part.

III.

Reader based prompts will always use gender neutral pronouns and be as vague as possible, so that everyone can feel included. The only exception to this are LGTBQ+ prompts (ie: Larxene comforting a dysphoric S/O, Sora reacting to you coming out as a lesbian, etc) Any requests asking for general female or male readers will be ignored and deleted!

IV.

When requesting a specific type of reader, please refrain from using characters from other media as reference (ie: a reader who acts like Nagito Komaeda from Danganronpa). I'm not in every fandom, nor I know every character ever, or what traits you're hoping to see - it's much easier if you describe exactly what you're looking for! Don't be afraid to send two asks if it's too long.

V.

You can request up to 6 characters per ask! The only exception to this is the Organization XIII, because I love them to death! The length of the post varies and depends on inspiration and number of characters!

VI.

You're free to send in your own [Heartcanons] - a cute term for KH headcanons about the game and characters. To diferentiate them from general chitchat, make sure to add [Heartcanon] at the beginning of the ask! These will be queued and post on Mondays, if there's any left around in the askbox! I also invite people to go feral discussing, rambling and even adding to our posts with your reblogs or in the replies! It's so fun to get together and talk about these blorbos!

That's it for now! Rules might update as I see fit!

You're also welcome to translate my work if you'd like, with proper credit. Just don't repost it to different sites!

Do you take asks for pokemon? Like If someone requested headcanons or scenarios for the kh or ff characters to be in with pokemon in it, would that be allowed in an ask? And on that note, what other Fandoms are you willing to accept into your list? Or merge with other fandoms asks?

In this blog, I only write for characters from KH, TWEWY (except NEO), FF7 Remake (plus the Advent Children triplets) and FF15. I was thinking about making a general multifandom blog for all my interests but who knows!

If we're talking about other fandom and AUs to shove Sora and his friends into, here's a list with some suggestions!

👋👋 this is my first time asking for something Im curious on how yandere repliku would react to his S/O being a guardian of light and would he kidnap them before the war?

ooo, welcome to the blog then! I’m just noticing that there’s quite the backlog for yandere stuff, hohohohoho 

general warning for usual yandere topics!

First, some context for the guy as a yandere! Repliku strikes me as one of the most common types - jealous, overprotective, possessive and aggressive, but oddly enough, it’s extremely easy to calm him down? Any affectionate gesture from his darling is enough to distract him from all of his anguish, even if all you do is meet his gaze and smile or pat his back. While he's starved for your attention, he knows better than to be greedy and force you to indulge him - it's way easier to keep everyone else at bay, after all. You have permanent scary dog privileges whenever you’re with him! It’s almost like having a cat that is mean to everyone except you for a pet.

But it’s very, very different if you’re actually dating him. The only thing that kept you relatively safe all this time is that fine line Repliku would never dare to cross - you are not his, so he understands that he has no right to demand your time nor attention, even if he still pouts and tries his best to drive your friends and loved ones away. But once it’s established that you are his partner, it’s fucking over for you, bestie </3.

Repliku is now your self-appointed and permanent knight in not-so-shiny armor. It gets worse the longer you date, because he stops from holding back and acts on every impulse to keep you by his side, feeling justified by your own choice to date him. You chose this. You did this. You wanted him, so clearly you’ll be okay with every measure he takes to keep you safe and happy. It’s also harder to please him now, he’s so clingy. Repliku feels entitled to every breath you take, every second you spend awake. And while his mind games have nothing on Vanitas’ guilt tripping and manipulation, Repliku still retains Riku’s keen eye - he can read you like an open book and say the right things to make you doubt yourself, make you feel like you need to depend on him.

It’s almost a miracle you wound up as a guardian of light with him orbiting around you, pulling you back every time you go somewhere he can’t follow. Repliku loves that spark within you that dares to oppose him, all so you can follow whatever bullshit you believe in about justice, light or the kindness of people’s hearts - he adores that side of you. And he’s fine if you want to be on the losing team (he’ll be there to take you back where you belong once you’re done playing around), he’s fine if you face him in battle (he’ll graciously accept every attack and scar you leave on him, marking you with his own as well). But the one thing he can’t stand is seeing people like Sora, especially Sora, breathing in the same direction as you.

That’s when it all comes crashing down for Repliku. If he sees you have a single positive interaction with Sora, he’ll lose it. It doesn’t matter if all you did was say good morning to him, or wish him luck in his adventures or just mention his name in passing conversation. Your name in Sora’s mouth is blasphemy, but for you to look so genuinely happy when talking to him? When he’s already eeryone’s favorite starchild? That’s unbearable, it’s enough to remind him that he’s not even the original copy, so there’s no way he can even compare to someone like Sora. 

What does he have that sets him apart from Riku? What does he have that makes him better than Sora? Is there anything in his made-believe life worth clinging to? Why yes, yes there is. It’s you. He has you. You and your love for him, the two things that define his entire existence. Repliku, so incredibly delusional and desperate, would absolutely steal you away way before the final encounter against Xehanort - hell, the guy would gladly leave the real Organization hanging way earlier if it meant having you locked up. He’d lure you with whatever is most efficient, maybe you respond better to threats, maybe you’ll fall for his act of begging for redemption.

Once he has you in his grasp, he’s not going to let go. He’ll provide food, shelter, entertainment and all you have to do is keep him company - hell, you can literally say anything you want or escape and fight him to your heart’s content, Repliku won’t mind. He still adores that spark in you and he’ll be there until that fire is snuffed out and all you can think of is him. Everything else is temporary - at some point, you’ll come to understand that it’s your turn to be a supportive partner. He let you play the role of hero, after all! It’s your turn to indulge him. Sure, he might lash out during particularly bad days, but never directly at you - he redirects that fury to the outside world. Sometimes, you wish it were you instead of all your loved ones.

i really love your young!ienzo x older sibling!reader reaction, and was wondering how KH3 Ienzo would reaction to seeing the reader again after all the years of him being a nobody?

this is starting to become a series lolol but I’m glad you like it !! I wrote his reaction and some other general headcanons for what would happen after their reunion

 here’s part one and part two for those who haven’t read them! 

The only reason Ienzo hasn’t left Radiant Garden to seek you out is entirely because of Aeleus and Dilan urging him to stay, to pick up the pieces after becoming whole again - and so, he stays to help Sora, comforted by the promise of your return. Still, he’s afraid that you might never come back or that you moved on without him, all while his head races with all the things he wants to share. Ienzo might’ve spent most of his life with the other apprentices, but you’re the one that raised and properly guided him all those years age. You are family. He holds you in extreme high regards.

His reaction to finally seeing you after all those years is ugly, unlike his brief reunion with Ansem the Wise. Ienzo has definitely spent nights writing down a proper and organized speech, he’s memorized it and practiced over and gone through it a dozen times with the others. But when he hears your voice? When he sees you standing righ there? Ienzo drops whatever he’s holding and practically throws himself into your arms. He hides his face in your shirt and starts blabbering nonsense through tears and sniffs.

Any attempts at showing you that he’s grown and matured are thrown out the window and it’s like you guys are children again. The only thing you can make out is his constant stream of "I’m sorry, I’m so sorry” and “Please, forgive me” - Ienzo apologizes for being part of Xehanort’s plan, for working under Xemnas, for pretty much existing as a Nobody when he should’ve disappeared instead. But you remind him that he was just a child when it all happened and that you’re just so happy to have your baby brother back.

That’s all Ienzo needs - it’s like you’ve granted him permission to cry. The transition from Nobody to... Well, himself, has been extremely hard on him. Getting used to feelings and how to process them when he was never taught how to in the first place is pretty fucking hard. You hold him until he stops crying, and then squeeze and sway him side to side, the same thing you used to do to get him to laugh as children.

He would still try to give you his speech a few days later, once he’s gotten over the initial excitement and emotion of having you back in his life. But for now, you’ll have to deal with a very excited Ienzo - he wants to know what you’ve been up to, if you’ve been okay, as well as explain his new plans for the gummiphone and all the way’s he’s been helping Sora and the rest. Ienzo doesn’t follow you around 24/7 like he used to (he actually runs off to find you so you can be the first one to learn about his breakthroughs or to act as his personal rubber duck buddy when he’s stuck) but whenever he walks with you, chances are he’ll still hold onto the hem of your shirt or sleeve.

Sometimes, Ienzo might slip and address you the same way he used to when he was young, with shortened versions of your name because he had trouble pronouncing the full thing - it’s very embarrassing for him, he’ll apologize and quickly move on, but please don’t point it out, especially if you want him to keep doing it because it’s very cute. If you point it out to him, he’ll stop and then everybody loses. Ienzo is trying so hard to not fall back to those childish habits of his </3 

It happens on reverse to, so to speak - there will be days when Ienzo might revert back to that cold, judgemental and quiet side from his days as a Nobody. You might even catch a glimpse of his snarky and downright cruel side, mostly when he goes days working on something without breaks (a nasty habit inherited from Even, deffo). This often causes a lot of arguments between you two, something he comes to regret almost immediately because he’s supposed to be one of the good guys now. He’s supposed to know better now. But when you come back hours later, either acting like nothing wrong happened or to talk things out, Ienzo is so relieved because yeah, this is what family does. Shit like this just happens all the time, it doesn’t mean the end of the world.

Upperclassmen HCs (1)

We saw very little of them in general but they went so hard with their designs and moments, so this is me trying to flesh them out a bit with headcanons and some observations/analysis about them and their relationships with each other because YES I’M STILL THINKING SO HARD ABOUT THE UPPERCLASSMEN, THEY ARE LITERALLY SO COOL AND I WANT HTEM BaCK

I don’t know enough about norse mythology to implement it to my HCs and stuff in a meaningful way </3 so it’s just me thinking - posting the rest under the cut because it just hit me not everyone has that funny feature to shorten long posts instantly

this post only has Vidar, Hoder, Vala and Vali! I’ll post the others soon!

If Baldr is a parallel to Xehanort, it makes sense to me for Vidar to be a foil to Eraqus - the first pair share similar circumstances, Baldr exists to show what could happen to Xehanort if he strayed too far. They clash because they both are, essentially, massive outcasts due to their special ability and had different ways of coping and dealing with it. Meanwhile, Vidar and Eraqus share similar extreme mindsets and opinions, but they clash because Vidar is an unstoppable force (he forces change and pushes through adversity because that’s the only way light will grow stronger) and Eraqus is an immovable object (he remains stagnant because nothing can get worse if things don’t change at all, light WILL remain strong as long as nothing tips the scales).

That’s is why I like to think Vidar is considered the leader of the upperclassmen, he’s the most adaptable and open to change. This also draws a nice parallel to Xehanort, who is also seen as a leader (albeit reluctant and more casual) on account of his perspective and potential knowledge as an outsider - people trust Vidar because his perspective and knowledge come from knowing everyone in the circle, being able to put their skills and strengths to good use. Even with figures like Heimdall and Helgi who can be more analytical and stubborn respectively, or with someone as capricious as Vala - all of them trust Vidar’s judgement and confidence in the end. 

I guess his fatal flaw could also be the way he so easily accepts change? He overlooks the way life changing events can affect people, too busy focusing on how to achieve the best outcome, assuming everyone will be able to follow. If Eraqus is so reluctant to change, grow and let go of people he cares about, then Vidar is constantly on the move even if it means leaving some people behind for the greater good. 

Not to say he’s entirely oblivious to emotions or cruel enough to ignore them, it’s more like Vidar knows just how powerful feelings can be and how they can cloud and affect people’s judgements, so he makes a point to remain focused and calm for everyone else’s sake. I definitely can see Vidar as the type of leader that only sees himself as a pillar for everyone to lean on - he can’t cry or openly show weakness, because he needs to be there for everyone else. In his eyes, comfort is a one-way street.

...Which is why his friendship with Hoder and Vali is so important. I love to think of them as best friends, their little own trio because everything has to come in groups of three. The three compliment each other very well and you can just tell they’re close because of the way they interact with each other, even if they’re not together as often as others like Xehanort’s gang. They just get each other, y’know? Hoder and Vali offer the support Vidar needs in a way that he can accept it. Or just sneakily enough that he won’t notice <3

I imagine that his fighting skills are average - he’s still miles ahead from Xehanort and Eraqus with the level of an upperclassmen, but Vidar doesn’t stand out in any specific aspect unlike the others. That doesn’t make him any less dangerous, however - Vidar is in his element when he’s able to control the flow of battle, let it be by guiding his friends and putting their skills to good use or sliding in when needed as support. His keen eye allows him to know if someone’s struggling or not. When alone and facing against stronger enemies, Vidar focuses on outlasting or outrunning his enemy until he can regroup with the others - he uses his surroundings and the general area to his advantage and quickly adapts to his enemy’s patterns.

Personally, I love that Baldr has this massive burden of peering into people’s hearts, giving him this massive awful complex about realizing the darkness that haunted him was his own, making him chase after his sister, the only person he truly felt safe with. And because Baldr compares himself and his sister to Xehanort and Eraqus, Hoder carries a similar burden to Eraqus - they both believe themselves to be responsible for keeping their respective loved ones from falling to the darkness in the only ways they know how. Eraqus does so by chasing after Xehanort and try to pull him out and back onto what he perceives is the “correct path”. Hoder does so by remaining with Baldr as a “shield” (GET IT. A SHIELD. BALDR’S MASSIVE HEARTLESS. GOD IM IN PAIN) to make the world less scary for him, accidentally keeping him from experiencing life on his own rather than as her own shadow. 

I like to think that Hoder essentially taught herself to read people’s feelings with scary accuracy, just so she could know if her brother was struggling in any situation and to remain loving, attentive, receptive and kind at all times. To the point where it became second nature to mediate between people at the cost of her own sense of self. Hoder can tell if you’ve had an awful day or if you’re feeling under the weather just by exchanging a few words or looking at you for a few seconds. But, similar to Baldr, she doesn’t know what to make of herself when left alone. 

Her friendship with Vidar and Vali has helped her separate herself from Baldr and slowly come to understand and realize the sort of person she is when she isn’t being Baldr’s anchor. Vidar knows about her strengths and weaknesses, Vali encourages her to step out of the limits she set for herself. Both of them help Hoder solidify her own identity. While she gets along with pretty much everyone, those two are the ones who get to see Hoder at her worst. 

Hoder could also be close to Vala, on account of her being straightforward when needed and emotionally mature - she lets Hoder know right away that she doesn’t need a babysitter nor anyone to monitor her feelings so closely. If she gets angry, she knows how to cope with that, Hoder should not be made responsible for her or anyone’s mental and emotional stability. Even if this clashes with Hoder’s struggle and her deep sense of duty, she appreciates Vala all the same, even looking up to her strong personality.

To further push the entire “Hoder as Baldr’s shield” themes, I can see her as a tank, shouldering most of the damage. Hoder makes up for her lack of proper discipline and techniques with her incredible defense - unlike Vidar and Vali, she’s an emotional fighter and her feelings clearly permeate into her fighting style. Hoder is at her best when she’s allowed to cover someone’s back, as having someone to “protect” helps her focus more, this is something she and Helgi have in common. She’s at her worst when left on her own, as she tends to get carried away and forgets to look out for herself - the other upperclassmen know Hoder takes out her unspoken frustrations on the Heartless and she’s extremely embarrassed about it, since “she should know better”. 

Vala is best described as capricious, confusing and playful, which contrasts her “Look At Me, I’m Smart And Elegant And Fragile” look. She likes to make an impact and leave an impression wherever she goes, either that or to keep people guessing, wondering just what her deal is. It’s all in light-hearted fun, of course, there’s never any malicious intent behind her actions or words, but it can rub people the wrong way more than often.

As mentioned before, Vala is extremely mature and attuned to her own feelings. Unlike many of her classmates she knows her limits like the back of her hand, carrying herself with confidence. While Vala enjoy teasing and acting mysterious, she’s honest when needed and never sugarcoats her words. I can also see her being the type to constantly counter or second guess Vidar and his plans, as a way to offer a different perspective and force him to think even further outside the box - “to keep him on his toes” she’d say. Sorta like pokemon rivals, I guess lol.

Since some (if not most) of her dialogue alludes to her sight, I like to think Vala is the type of person who can also pinpoint your vibes with just a single glance - you know, like “oh, I get it. You’re a Moon Virgo, that explains everything” and then you go home, look it up and find out that holy shit, she was right. Another of my personal headcanons for her is that she’s an only child, the kind that would’ve loved to grow up with many siblings - so she gets attached really easily to her juniors and everyone else’s siblings. 

As opposed to Vidar, Vala has poor leadership skills - if she’s put in a position of power or authority for any reason, she sort of expects everyone to just do as she says. There’s zero room for questioning her decisions or offering alternatives. Why else would she be in charge otherwise? While it is rather hypocritical of her, Vala actively avoids leadership and is more than content with dumping those heavy responsibilities to someone who’s willing to carry them.

I like the idea of Vala’s personality not quite matching her appearance, and I also love the idea of her fighting style matching exactly the type of person she is - similarly to Aqua, Vala’s fighting style is composed of graceful gestures and dancing, with a heavy focus on magic. That’s the aspect Vala excels at. Whereas Aqua follows a proper rhythmn and moves a lot (since her entire thing is ballet and fluid movements) Vala’s is mostly static, only moving when she feels like it and instead using her signature move, those pillars of light, to keep her opponents away even if she leaves herself rather vulnerable. You’re not fighting Vala, you’re stepping on HER ballroom and dancing to HER tune. Her style is as playful as her, so she’s at her best when left alone or when paired up with someone who can keep up with her, like Sigrun, Vali or, surprisingly, Vidar.

Ok. Vali as a selective mute. Is that anything? Cause it’s everything to me <3. I love to imagine he only speaks when strictly necessary and signs the rest of the time. It took some time for all upperclassmen to learn but now they constantly have conversations with each other in class whenever Odin has his back turned on them. It’s also super handy during outings to other worlds, in case they need to remain silent - not that they have any need to be extremely stealthy, considering Vali’s skills, his hearing is impeccable and you’ll never hear him approach. In the group, he acts as the perfect scout for recon and gathering intel.

I imagine he and Vidar were childhood friends, and then Hoder came along not too long after - just like the Destiny Island trio! But instead of being a loud group of friends, I can absolutely picture them as the very quiet, very polite kids that barely talk and that every adult adores because “they are just so well-behaved” - when in truth they just really feel awkward or out of place and would rather sit in a corner in silence, together. Parallel play, their beloved. Still, Vali was 100% the one getting them all into shenanigans every single week.

As for dynamics, Vali is a healthy medium between Vidar and Hoder. He’s neither extremely attuned to other people’s feelings nor entirely seeing them as liabilities, but a secret third thing : he’s just a regular guy. While Vidar shows concern through actions and Hoder through words, Vali adapts to ways they both understand and can receive - hence his role as Vidar’s immediate right-hand man. Vali’s eternal loyalty and reliableness puts Vidar’s mind at ease, it’s one less thing for him to worry about. As for Hoder, Vali offers a safe space for her to drop the act and get out of her shell.

For no reason other than me finding it funny, I like to think Heimdall has a casual one-sided rivalry with Vali <3. Vali excels in speed and mobility, something Heimdall very lowkey resents because his thing is ALSO speed. The two spar quite often and it’s quite the spectacle, with others often commenting on both taking it too seriously. 

In terms of agility, it’s a tie between Vali and Sigrun. Both are very acrobatic, but while Sigrun uses this skill to get out of harm’s way, Vali uses it to enhance his attacks, to make up for his lack of power and strength. He’s at his best in enclosed or claustrophobic spaces, anywhere with places to climb, jump or grab onto. And, true to his design as a ninja, fights with Vali tend to be a “blink and you miss it” kind of situation, especially because he tends to target outliers or stray targets, or any Heartless aiming to sneak up on someone. He’s at his worst in open, empty spaces, obviously, but Vali’s speed and quick reactions allow him to team up with people like Vala, Heimdall or Helgi.

You think that Hades is the one in the kh4 teaser trailer? I mean he is the lord of the dead so bringing someone back like sora shouldn't be hard for him unless they throw in plot complications, or if he just strait up refuses to do it because sora alwsys got in his way so theres nothing in it for him. Also do you think maleficent and pete will also have a bigger role in kh4? They sort of were an afterthought in the 3rd game and so far it's been mostly focusing on the lore and the Main characters. I remember in the first game they featured most of the Disney villains, and they played an active part in the plot. Do you want to see more Disney villains included, or have more characters be aware of other worlds beyond their own? Or would you rather it just be more focused on the kyblade wielders all together? Or both? 😁

yeah, I think it would make sense if they were looking for Sora in the underworld since everyone's searching for him as hard as they can

also no clue about maleficent and pete lmfao, they've been downgraded to comic relief in KH3 so shrug. personally, I want KH to be it's own unique thing already, focusing on the story it's been building up so far OR at the very least, since it's essentially a crossover story, it should crossover with more things other than disney bc I'm bored of disney being everywhere as an accesory or afterthought. also I HATE HERCULES' WORLD IM SICK OF IT PLEASE JUST SHOVE MORE NEW WORLDS.....

like if we're gonna stuck with disney, make it mean something, Nomura's already fuckin messing with timelines, time travel, family trees, possession, etc, just let him go insane with the plot. he made xehanort bring back tadashi from the dead as a heartless to fuck with hiro and the big hero 6? COOL, at least we're all having fun

cause I don't give a shit about maleficent but KH1 told me she was the scariest bitch in the world, so show me maleficent being the scariest bitch in the world, don't ruin your own set up by making her pete's comedic buddy in the end

[nobodies-png]

Did you play the kh dark road update? If you did what are your thoughts about it?

 I DIDN’T PLAY BUT I WAS WATCHING DAMO’S LIVESTREAM THE MOMENT THE UPDATE DROPPED </3 honestly the reason I’ve gone inactive is because I’ve done nothing but work on wayfinder charm designs for the scala squad and the upperclassmen, you don’t uNDERSTAND IM OBSESSED 

but but but, here’s some thoughts under the cut ! as usual, warning for spoilers ahead and lots and lots of text bc I’m a blabbermouth

ok so, I’ll start in order so it’s easier for me to keep track of

the disney worlds being more relevant AND helpful to the story

I’ve seen so many people say this and they’re so fuckin right, cause disney worlds used to be just fun places where SOMETIMES things related to the plot might happen. at best, a certain disney sidekick and their movie helped develop the main gang/plot but no one really thinks “hey KH2 atlantica really helped Sora grow as a person and was super important to the overaching plot huh”. like, sure, not EVERYTHING has to be plot heavy or super relevant, especially in a game aimed for kids but christ I literally erased all of KH2′s lion king from my brain bc the only thing worth remembering there is “look sora is a cute lion!”   

it just feels nice because in other games, all these bad guys WERE meant to be THE hottest shit in the world, the scariest mfs you would ever face, but they essentially had nothing other than a fun boss battle and boom bye. nomura kinda spent a few games kicking maleficent’s dead body trying to make her relevant again.

so seeing the Scala squad actually make use of the magic mirror’s abilities MORE THAN ONCE was actually fucking revolutionary for me like, yeah of COURSE you would go back to THE magic mirror that so far has been doing nothing but answer any question you’ve given him. of course it’s cool when MALEFICENT KILLS BALDR’S SISTER because she hasn’t been directly relevant in anything since. what. KH1 or KH2. I liked that Hades, as the GOD OF THE DEAD, actually has the power to BRING PEOPLE BACK IF HE WANTED, if only for a bit LIKE. WOW!!! THEY *ARE* IMPORTANT AND POWERFUL PEOPLE

characters being more than just good vs bad guys. the morality and mentality of light vs darkness being more nuanced. 

the main issue a lot of ppl had with Xehanort and Eraqus is that they were rlly painted as strictly bad vs good, but only Eraqus was allowed ??? some semblance of respect in the games ??? even if he fucked up A LOT. because he was, in the end “a good guy”. and Xehanort was just this villain bordering on cartoony with the funny wiggly fingers no one fucking understood but that you were meant to forgive in KH3 despite everything he did, which felt very undeserved

BUT HERE IN DARK ROAD you get to see more of everyone and their clashing ideologies and morals, which is even sadder in retrospect when you see that they’re extremely close and genuinely cared about each other and their world. Xehanort wants change, Eraqus wants to remain the same, Vor is conflicted because she’s right in the middle, the upperclassmen are willing to do horrible things for the greater good, baldr is. well. going thru it 24/7, etc.

Eraqus being so fucking stubborn and determined to eradicate darkness because to him, darkness is inherently evil, MEETING SOMEONE who thinks the same AND is willing to go a STEP FURTHER to help was SO good to me, like Vidar really showed up and did that

just like Xehanort, someone who knows change is part of life and believes darkness could be controlled if you’re strong enough, who has been an outsider everywhere he’s been, MEETING BALDR, WHO IS AN EXTREME VERSION OF HIM GONE WRONG TOO. its good, its very good, i like it

THEY ALSO TALK ABT THE THING I’VE BEEN WAITING SO MANY YEARS TO BE BROUGHT UP ??? ABOUT HOW DARKNESS AND LIGHT ARE EXTREMELY OBJECTIVE CONCEPTS AND UNIQUE TO EACH PERSON - the constant discussions between Eraqus and Xehanort about where darkness comes from exactly, if it’s inherent to a person’s heart or if it’s an outside force corrupting them and so on are genuinely very interesting to me. because there ARE people who are genuinely corrupted and shitty, but there’s also people who go through horrible shit and are consumed by their trauma and negative feelings. you’re not just “a bad person” just because you suddenly have darkness inside you. you’re not just a “good person” just because you side with light either.  everyone is fucked bc they all have to make do with the things they know and what they think is right while darkness is out to get their asses

its not that simple, but with a single push anyone can go joker mode basically, it’s just fucking stupid to think anyone can be pure absolute light. DDD even touches this when it comes to Sora being perfect too, but he’s just as liable to falling into darkness if pushed enough, HELL, ANTI SORA  IS A REMINDER OF THAT

sure, KH3 did drop some vague shit about Elsa being at the verge of falling to darkness BECAUSE she believed her powers were harmful and thus they became part of the darkness. sure, KH3 also had Aqua falling to darkness after all this time, but you don’t see why or how, she’s just THERE for shock effect and eh. ehhh.

alternatively, the lack of upperclassment content makes me sad........... I wanted to see them banter and see a bit more of their personalities individually

I love their designs, man......I wanted to see more of them...... just look at them... look at this fella...hes just layin down, sleepin, chillin

look at them... Vala took off her glasses to sleep, you barely even get to fuckin see these two bc Vidar’s dialogue box gets in the way but they rlly did that little detail... 

Also the ninja, Vali, not talking and being sneaky bc he’s a ninja and his only dialogue happening during the fight against Baldr.... I JUST - LOOK AT HIM HES SO COOL AUGHHHH 

like all fucking upperclassmen are so cool and strong like the part where Baldr summons a bunch of heartless before going to the tower and they’re all surrouned bUT THE UPPERCLASSMEN KILL EVERYTHING IN A FUCKING SECOND ????? 

LIKE WHY DID YALL DIE TO THE ALBINO TWINK LIKE?? BRO

Vidar and Hoder are also really interesting characters from the scenes they’ve had. I think about the moment at the tower during the final confrontation against Baldr, when Hoder shows up to talk to him and because they’re so close, they know exactly what’s happening and block each other’s attacks. And when they reach out and they have the same expression. AND WHEN ODIN ASKS XEHANORT TO RID BALDR OF DARKNESS, HODER DOES IT BC SHE KNOWS XEHANORT IS HESITATING BUT SHE DOESNT BC THATS HER BROTHER. SHE KNOWS ITS BETTER LIKE THIS

also also, all the little details, tie-ins and foreshadowing too

I like how they explain that death is not commonly called, well. “Death”. because these people don’t die normally, they replace the word “die” with “disappear” because that’s literally what happens to people who die. BUT that also makes me really curious about the graves? What’s exactly the point of tombstones and shit if there’s nobody buried there, like it’s probably just so you can see HOW many people died and feel the weight of Scala ad Caelum’s story but idk, I would’ve liked some unique way of commemorating the death that fits the way they die. 

DDD mentions that all the worlds operate on their unique timeframes and that they’re essentially looping over and over, but the restart happens at random. here in dark road we get to see the worlds BEFORE the restart, hence why Agrabah is empty, and the explanation for the constant swarms of heartless which I thought was a nice touch lol

this mention of the Final World which makes me think about THIS post right here saying that one of the stars in KH3 could be Hoder herself

then we see the conversation between current old man Xehanort and Vanitas about how Vanitas is most likely the remaining Darkness hiding which is A Lot To Think About given the fact that Vanitas has Sora’s face and Sora is hinted to be the next proper Child of Destiny (EVEN THOUGH I STILL THINK IT’S RIKU BUT ANYWAY) like yeah yeah, Vanitas looks like that because Sora and Ventus’ hearts connected very early on but how ironic is that ???? 

THEN that convo between Xehanort and Eraqus about how many lives they’d want and Xehanort has the balls to say 14 and then days later Nomura drops a fucking drawing of Xehanort in (possibly) Quadratum? yeah. yeah I’m eating that up

oh right, also Eraqus’ entire quirky trait about running away and shit? I thought that would come up eventually as in, he actually ran away and people died because of that choice but I guess not lmfao, that was kinda eh considering how many times it’s brought up in the beginning 

ALSO the fact that their keyblades is a more fancy version of the starlight from KHux really got to me like, yeah. YEAH..... This really is Ephemer’s legacy.....

AND the fact that during Vor and Baldr’s scene at the tower, in every flashback you see EVERYONE fading away in light minus Bragi. Plus some of Bragi’s dialogue like his reason to become a keyblade master, it really is good foreshadowing 

also Odin saying this :

to the guy who was supposed to be the child of destiny like yeah man, destiny sure fucking SUCKS. yall really fucking got this guy to be a sacrificial lamb huh

Baldr as a vessel for Darkness and his entire mass murder scene was pretty cool ngl

Again, I really like the scene where you get to see in a fucking row all the days he spent in his room grieving and mourning and spiraling, like. You know that one post that says “producers : you guys cant show anything showing death or blood.  writers : ok *makes up a fater worse than death*” yeah............... the absolute irony of being possessed by the entity that orchestrated your own sister’s death AND your own demise is very very good 

It’s a bit on the nose that he was meant to get absolutely fucked in the story since he’s been missing from pretty much everything and he has. well. White hair and a sister. That can only mean ONE thing and it’s tragedy.

THIS detail went too fast for me to notice but while rewatching the video I caught it and ??? BRO ??? I THOUGHT VALA TRIPPED BUT SHE SHOVES VOR OUT OF THE WAY TO SAVE HER

also really lets be honest, the counting is so extra and so good. the little quips and jabs like “OH DO I HAVE TO EXPLAIN EVERYTHING TO YOU?” and shit were also really funny to me like yeah, absolutely, please show me the flashbacks and explain what happened bc this is Kingdom Hearts and you fucking bet I need the extra info

I like how Eraqus insists that they can STILL save him while Xehanort was ready to fucking kill this guy and that moment of hesitation was all the darkness needed to give ANOTHER fucking speech about shit - a speech that works perfectly because he’s casting so much doubt in Xehanort’s heart by making it all about “it’s us and then there’s THEM” and kind of being like “yeah, the second your emotional support boytoy Eraqus dies, it’s fucking over for your sanity bro, I’ve been there”

and the entire explanation as to how constantly insisting that darkness is inherently bad has led to people like Baldr go absolutely unhinged because they start to believe THEY are bad, despite having done NOTHING to prove that, which relates to Terra’s entire journey and Ansem the Wise’s resentment towards Nobodies and consequent treatment of ppl like Namine, Xion or Roxas who CLEARLY felt things, were developing unique personalities but because they weren’t inherent light, then they weren’t worth the chance 

so basically every goddamn old man who has become a teacher in this entire saga of games is a shithead lmfao. Eraqus doesn’t get to see this conversation between Hoder and Baldr, so of course he clings to that belief of Darkness = evil evil evil, especially with the shit Xehanort is going to start pulling right after this but like

man. look at them. 

AND THEN THEY PULL OUT THEIR SWORDS AND THEN HODER DROPS HERS??? AND BALDR IS REACHING OUT TO HER ONE LAST TIME and the fuckin purple fart just has to come back to ruin it

also this ? THIS? yeah. I love the entire chain thing coming back, I also love seeing the gazing eye and waving at it knowing MoM is writing all this shit down

Vor. Just Vor. I rlly like Vor now

The second I saw her I disliked her because she’s small and cutesy and in media like this those are red flags to me because. All small cutesy characters usually end un being marketable annoying sidekicks with high pitched voices that I can’t fucking stand

BUT I really liked how Vor was present and important throughout the entire thing, acting as a mediator for Xehanort and Eraqus of sorts and also being the middle ground/indecisive person, because ofc not everyone can have super strong morals or want to radicalize the world. She felt like a nice balance and well, I guess everything in KH has to come in sets of three 

I didn’t understand this part during her death at first, I really thought she fucking meant she belonged in the afterlife or death as punishment for leaving her friends behind and I was like holy shit thats sad as fuck, bUT LMFAO SHE MEANT SHE BELONGED WITH HER FRIENDS AFTER ALL IM DUMB AS BRICKS SORRY VOR

Eraqus in this specific frame, that’s all. He looks very polite, I like him, please look at him

anyway that was just to bait you all into reading this part and remember the line Xehanort drops about how Eraqus has done nothing but cry every goddamn night since everyone died and that he’s heard all of it. that was VERY good too I loved that and all the fanart it’s spawning from that, it’s HEARTBREAKING to think about, especially when Eraqus is trying to get Xehanort to laugh as if he hadn’t spent the whole week crying his heart out

and then Baldr’s entire speech about how Xehanort is different, that he’s not like Eraqus and that eventually, once Eraqus leaves or disappears, it’ll be fucking over for Xehanort bc all he’s done is chase after him desperately just casually being destroyed by Eraqus being his funnyman silly self, reinforcing their friendship and that if Xehanort ever falls to darkness, he’ll be there to pull him out

yea

anyway i really hope that the entire bloodlines arc in missing link doesn’t reveal them as cousins or something because. they’re my emotional support divorcees, they got literally everything - childhood friends, trauma, scarring each other emotionally and physically for life, keeping in touch for the sake of their kids, another divorce, absolute pure death and then a second marriage while ascending to the heavens, its amazing

THE Luxu reveal lives rent free in my fucking head you don’t understand, I love this man to bits

everyone used to be so fucking afraid of their favorite characters being part Xehanort or getting norted, now everyone is at the risk of being Luxu and it’s so funny to me as a Xigbar enjoyer

I really like that we’re keeping up the “brai” names lmfao, but also the implications are spiraling in my brain bc does Luxu pick people who have those names As A Statement or does he change them once he possesses them. what happens to the original owners of the body and where do they fUCKING GO, LUXU DID YOU FEEL GENUINELY ATTACHED TO THESE KIDS OR WERE YOU FAKING IT, HOW DOES IT FEEL TO BE BY XEHANORT’S SIDE KNOWING HE MOURNED YOUR DEATH IN HIS TEENS, DID YOU BECOME A FUNNY MAN OVER THE YEARS UNCONSCIOUSLY BC THATS EXACTLY HOW THE MASTER OF MASTERS ACTED? WHAT IS LEFT OF THE ORIGINAL YOU, WHEN YOUR BODY IS NO LONGER YOUR OWN AND YOUVE GROWN AND CHANGED TOO MUCH TO BE RECOGNIZABLE, I NEED ANSWERS I LOVE THIS BODY SNATCHING TERMITE, HES MY PERSONAL SHIP OF THESEUS AND I LOVE HIM

The KHux player not being Xehanort confirmation is pretty sad but eh. The child of destiny thing and the bloodlines are interesting at least

I really really really liked the idea of Nomura trolling the fanbase who is very vocal and tired of Xehanort being everywhere by making the player ACTUALLY xehanort. it also made sense, Xehanort’s obsession with finding the people in his dreams, because those people were ACTUALLY his friends in his previous life, him being a superempath who leeches people’s memories and feelings is kinda eh in this specific context because I don’t feel it justifies all the shit he does to find Ephemer, Ventus, etc

but baby nort is very cute and I like that we get to be his grandparent and mentor for awhile, probably being the reason he’s also very interested in the outside worlds due to him being stranded here AND all the stories we most likely told him about everything. and I also like that he was pretty much set up to fail the second we died, doomed characters are very fun

I guess this confirms that Skuld’s descendant is Xehanort’s mother since he does mention his mom looks like “the girl from his dreams” aka Skuld herself. So that would mean Ephemer and Skuld’s bloodlines becoming one too, which is interesting, I cant wait for missing link..........

hey Bragi nation, how are we feeling about that last Dark Road update

How would Xigbar react to learning that his S/O is immortal? Like not the "can't be killed" kind but "doesn't die of old age" kind

Xigbar figured there was something going on with you long before you even started dating, but this big reveal catches him off guard, that’s for sure. All the little pieces and details he’s noticed slowly fall into place after he learns about your immortality. 

If you’re the one to tell him, then he’ll give a low whistle and start harassing you with questions and jokes you’ve probably heard a thousand times before - most of them are to get a reaction or gauge your own feelings on the matter, immortality is a heavy burden after all. But there’s a few genuine questions thrown in there too. He’s very curious as to how it all works. 

Knowing that you’ll be around for longer than he expected is a pleasant surprise, but damn if Xigbar isn’t lowkey jealous about it. Time has never been an issue for you, while he’s had millennia to come to terms with his own immortality and the ordeal of switching bodies constantly.

So yeah! Lot to unpack here! Let’s deflect with comedy instead! He’d complain about how you’ll never have to worry about your hair going gray like his or sore muscles and weak, brittle bones, all in an very shameless and obvious attempt to get you to compliment him or banter with him. Definitely tells you that, at some point, people will start to wonder if you’re dating him to get all his money once he kicks the bucket - feel free to kick him, mf isn’t even that old and he’s probably broke anyway </3

But if he finds out about it on his own or from someone else entirely, well... Expect a lot more secrecy and cryptic shenanigans from him, since you clearly don’t trust him enough to share important stuff. Hell, he might even get clingy and nosy, more than usual, to make sure you’re not hiding anything else worth mentioning. 

Xigbar is not a fair man. Witholding information from you or keeping you in the dark when it comes to certain details about himself is all justified because of his mission. Ultimately, he fully believes he’s doing the right thing and keeping you safe, but you? Having secrets that he doesn’t know about?? No can do, nuh-uh.

Either way, nothing much would change on a surface level. There wouldn’t be any sort of special treatment just because time decided to magically give up on you entirely and let you live forever, he’s not lowkey bitter and conflicted about it. Not at all. Mind your business. You’re his very cool immortal partner and he’s definitely Coping Healthily.

I can definitely see Xigbar mulling over your immortality in private, when you’re asleep next to him and he can’t sleep because he keeps thinking about what you’d do once he’s gone. Once you actually outlive this current body of his. He’s not used to being mourned and the idea of you grieving and being left behind without proper closure, well. It definitely fucks him up. Would you be mad if he randomly showed up a few decades or centuries later, with a different face and a different name? Would you wait for him?

What were your thoughts on the ending to kingdom hearts 3? Were you satisfied with it, or were you expecting more? Well you can't really expect anything with the series but still😅 and also do you follow the plot on the kingdom hearts app with the unions and stuff? I hear that's getting an update soon. It ties into the main kh game from what I can tell, it's just sometimes hard to follow it all sometimes cause it's so much plot going on.

if you're talking abt KHUX then the whole story was finished and the app was terminated last year and it broke me entirely bc I forgot to befriend all the ppl I met in the guild BUT if you're talking abt Dark Road then I think we're getting an update soon yeah!

I've been into KH since I was like super young so honestly, at this point the confusion and frustration of trying to piece everything together is part of the fun bc we all know this shit isnt gonna end, so might as well enjoy the ride lmfaooo like its all super ridiculous in retrospect but I'm STILL gonna get the shivers during Donald's zettaflare moment or tear up everytime I see one of the openings

as for the ending of KH3 well I duNNO, IM SUPER CONFLICTED

cause obviously I love that everyone's happy chilling being friends, that a lot of loose ends were finally tied up and a lot of connections were made (scala ad caelum being daybreak town made me SHIT like THAT WAS SO GOOD) or that some mysteries were revealed or are close to being revealed, it had REALLY good scenes for some characters like Terra showing tf up and promising to set things right or Ansem SoD and Xemnas' deaths being SO FUCKING. EMOTIONAL. REALLY LIKE THOSE TWO ARE THE MOST MEMORABLE SCENES FOR ME, it actually felt more satisfying to say goodbye to Ansem SoD and watch Riku talk to him than seeing Xehanort fuck off into heaven with Eraqus and ofc, the sexiest reveal of the entire saga with Luxu/Xigbar

but then I hated that a big chunk of the actual plot was hidden behind a DLC bc I insist that Re:Mind feels like it shouldve all been part of the base game. that a lot of the sass and snark some characters actually had was just toned tf down to the point where they felt like generic nice NPCs bc "they cant be sassy, theyre good anime guys!" - which some can argue that it's the characters growing up and becoming more mature but to me it doesn't feel like that in the slightest?? The main event of the entire game and ending, defeating Xehanort, just felt rlly fast and eh to me, it had this vibe of Nomura being tired of Xehanort's arc want wanting to get it over with fast bc he realized he could just insert Versus XIII into KH. Kairi is still just kinda there bonding with literally ANYONE but Sora unless its convenient so that one super cool battle with her and Sora vs Xehanort didn't hit as hard imo

so tl:dr : it was fun and like everything in the entire franchise, it could've been better!
