[grendel-menz]

Hi! My brother just sent me your drawing of Dean Su with crutches! I use crutches as well and was super excited to see someone drawn with them :DDD

Do you have a tag specifically for him? How could I find other drawings of him on your blog?

Thank you so much, I am so freaking excited about seeing a drawing of someone with the same mobility aid as me 💚

Awe, that's so sweet of your brother ;-;! Hope y'all are well!

There's not too much art of him on here esp because his backstory is still under wraps, but it should be under 'Oberon Su'. I'll leave some of it here!

He's in a comic I don't update often on Tapas called 'Aeaea Academy".

imstill thinking. i want to know so much. Which is ur favorite trio. Ur favorite kh game. Favorite kh world. Whats ur favorite kh headcanon. Thoughts on axel

fave trio: this one is hard but im gonna have to go with wayfinder trio because aqua and terra my beloveds....... the autism duo........ (and also ventus is there and he's cool but i am more focused on aqua and terra because i have so many fucking thoughts about them. where did they come from. how long have they been training and how much do they know about keyblades and history since they were presumably studying. what specifically made them be chosen. i am so excited for their future in the series because AOUGHHH). since i think the series might be headed towards a shift in the 'light good darkness bad' mindset where light might serve as a slightly antagonistic role (what with the whole keykids fighting over light and whatever the fuck is up with MoM, also i think it would just be cool), i think aqua and terra and ven are kinda the perfect trio to explore that with. there's also them ACTUALLY dealing with the aftermath of bbs (since we never really got that!! and i wanna see how their dynamic actually is, how do they deal with the fallout of those events like terra killing eraqus, aqua not trusting ven, ven still technically being pure of heart?) and how aqua is gonna handle basically being the successor the eraqus (especially since aqua BECOMING a master and not terra was part of why shit fell apart. theres drama to be had (even though in bbs xehanort does call terra 'master terra', its just to trick him into trusting him more yes BUT xehanort is still a master. to our knowledge all it takes to name a master is another master seeing them pass some sort of arbitrary test and saying they are. yes xehanort is evil but he is still a master. making terra technically one too. and i wonder how he would feel about that title still, as its everything he wanted but thats how he got it)). i have so many thoughts on them all but it's very chaotic and disorganised so i will move on fkhfdkjh

fave kh game: bbs i love you so so so so much my beloved wonderful game!!! ive talked about this a bit before but bbs is very accessible for me to play since you can choose your own moves and commands so you have a good degree of customisation with how you play, you can choose if your finishers have QTEs (since my hands are kinda shit, i cant really do QTEs or input heavy things, so being able to choose if i want to or not is amazing), command board is actually quite fun and a fun way to level up commands without having to go into combat so you can take a break but still enjoy it, i enjoy the movement options and how varied they are between characters, and its easy to move between commands on the command deck (im looking at you ddd. why do i have to use the goddamn D-PAD). aside from actual gameplay, while the story is a bit clunky at times and theres DEFINITELY room for improvement, i still find it quite endearing and theres some REALLY fucking good moments in there i still think about so often. the fact that terra's final fight is a fight we as the player know he cant win but he fights regardless. and then sprouts a stupid little cape like its from a tissue dispenser for the sake of continuity. terra's voice genuinely cracking slightly when he's crying after he kills eraqus. aqua calling vanitas a freak. the extra chapters in the bbs novel that add so much depth to vanitas and ventus (which isnt in the game but its still so good regardless). the entirety of the secret chapter in aquas route. the vanitas remnant fight (you find what's left of this sad kid, beat him up, and steal his keyblade). good fucking game

fave kh world: for some goddamn reason this is also bbs worlds. what the fuck is wrong with me. it's either land of departure (which we literally know basically NOTHING about and i am so curious about it) or the realm of darkness SPECIFICALLY in the secret chapter.

(^one of many insane ramblings i sent to my friend after playing bbs again and again) when you first start the secret chapter, you're put in a place right after that scene on the bridge thing in the realm of darkness where aqua gets surrounded by the darksides. if you turn around, you can still see it slightly but you physically cannot go back. you can never go back. and being able to see it gives me this really weird feeling like im being watched or followed, and who's to say that she isn't!! the darkness is always lurking!! after that message i also mentioned that while enemies can drop potions and stuff, its never a guarantee and you are constantly fighting for even the smallest chance of surviving, if that can even be called surviving. your most valuable item that you have (if you have any left) are the ice creams that can trigger command style changes. disney world, the place you get them, is one of the brightest, happiest worlds, and once youre in the realm of darkness, you cannot get any more. you're essentially trading fleeting memories of a happier time as a desperate attempt to stay afloat (you can tell im a kh fan because im essentially thinking about A SECOND TRAGIC ICE CREAM). its a futile and tragic experience which, while 0.2 also has the realm of darkness, the secret episode has such a specific feeling to it i cannot stop thinking about

fave kh headcanon: this one is actually pretty hard because there's so many and i have been losing my mind over other things recently BUT. theres so many headcanons about physical appearance that i love (brown eyes for ALL please put those blue things away, freckles for sora, namine, terra, and a few others, XEMNAS WITH CURLY/WAVY HAIR which is from one panel in the days manga where he's just slightly distorted by water but like. its a good fucking idea, giving characters their normal skin tone back. im looking at you ssbu sora v kh1 sora. they took my boy's melanin (which isnt really a headcanon and more of a genuine anger at the whitewashing), scar headcanons for kairi and sora from where they died, etc). current favourite headcanon is either: aqua using more strategic fighting styles (with teleporation being a BIG part of her bbs moveset, like her unique teleport dodge, her ultimate finisher being teleport spike, and a unique command style being ghost drive) and that either playing into either her feeling detached from everything like a ghost (ghost drive) after being stuck in the realm of darkness for a decade or since these moves leave after images, maybe her developing a fear of isolation (or HERSELF especially given mirror aqua in 0.2), kairi also training with terra because i want her to fight like a fucking TANK instead of being more magic focused. i want her to kill (and if we get a rikai teamup, i think mage riku and tank kairi is such a fun idea), OR the current headcanon/connection of xion to the cavern of rememberance (i talked about it in the tags in this post), but i know theres so many ive had over the years that i genuinely cannot think of right now fkhfdkjh

thoughts on axel: the organisation's assassain. they chose HIM to be the babysitter. and then those kids said 'i could make him feel emotions after a decade of feeling detached from everything' and they did!! they gave him a heart!! but i LOVE thinking about axel during com and i think its the closest we'll probably see of his actual job as an assassain. he AIR FRIED A MAN (and i think in the manga he used his chakrams to physically attack instead). he 'betrayed' larxene and marluxia so easily. he wasn't afraid to go through namine to fight marluxia (that scene where marluxia uses her as a human shield, you can actually visibly see namine shaking in fear and rewatching some com scenes to get gif footage REALLY made me remember that its literally just Kingdom Hearts: Namine's No Good Very Bad Day) but he had NO hesitation. he ordered repliku to STRANGLE zexion. needless to say, this is all treated very casually for him that it makes me think what he mustve done during his time in the organisation to get the status as an assassain. he treats murder as an 'icky job', but on the flipside, when we see him actually care about something, it's just that same drive and motivation but used for his own personal goals (tracking down xion, following roxas in the kh2 prologue which is terrifying without context), but MAN. seeing him from a detached perspective without context is like 'holy shit this guy is scary' and then you play days or read the manga and anything else with him and you realise he's so sillies. wonderful guy 10/10

I'M IN LOVE WITH S18 OF HAPPY HEORES

Ok, i know season 18 is done, and they're working on season 19 rn (and i'm pretty sure Arcus comes back in that season so woo!)

(this is just a random rant i wanted to post-)

(!!spoilers ahead for S18!!)

I'm watching it rn and like?? I'm absolutely in love with the parallel universe! And the fact that we get to review old characters that pretty much never made a new appearance back is sooo exciting to me! (although I literally freaked out in a shocking way, that DuanDao Liu is somehow the president of the school the 5 heroes used to go to??? traumatized. /j)

I honestly loved the spin-off series called "The mystery city"!! I watched the whole series in like one day, but then I couldn't find it again though??

I am so happy and excited to see the heroes going back to Earth (the planet The mystery city takes place in, not our earth) and meeting old friends and enemies!

And i'm gonna be honest, the way the 4 knights died and were used by the 黑暗君主 (idk how to translate it to english, but he's basically the 4 knights' boss) is so brutal-

Poor Kalo is gonna be so traumatized going back there again after that time with the Ice knight turning Careful into a yeti and almost killing him- :') But then again I live on angst sooo-

Oh! As well as the fact that Starshadow and Moondance is coming back too!! :DDD poor starshadow had to literally kill her because he was out of control with imself- :') hopefully they'll be better in the parallel universe!

Yeah, i think i'm done with my rant now, here are the link to the playlist if you want to check it out (they're in Chinese because i couldn't find any english ones-): here

anyways lkdsjfkldjs anyways, how has your week been? have you gotten to do anything fun to enjoy the spring weather :DDD

[www-artforoddballs]

Alright, so notice. Most of you probably know this, since you're following me for the Autistic Levi stuff (thank you, we're closing in on 100 followers!!!!), but people with autism can have "tantrums". I've kinda touched on this in a previous post (it's a full meltdown, but you can see that post here https://www-artforoddballs.tumblr.com/post/644803780958879744/autistic-levi-angstkinda-i-guess-this-is-him). For those of you who DON'T know, an autistic tantrum is not the same thing as what you'd think of in regards to a toddler or kid, it's just the word used for it. This is a mistake my mother and I made when getting the paperwork done while I was going through testing that later got cleared up lol

I had a tantrum yesterday, and so I figured that I could post about Leviathan having a tantrum, since it's still ready on my mind. I don't care if anyone else is proud of me for coping with it as well as I did, since it's a major improvement from last time I had one, but I am proud of myself!...with that in mind, here we go!!

There will be some angst in this post, like the last post in relation to this one, but like the last post, it turns out fine.

However.

Trigger warning for things such as self harm, both physical and verbal. If you or a loved one is self harming, either reach out to someone for help or reach out to that person to help, yeah?

OK on with the post.

-------------

First of all, Levi's autism is part of why his brothers always agree to help when there's a raffle for tickets or something like that on the DDD messages, because he can get overwhelmed if they don't at least help, even if he doesn't win in the end.

They figured out that his autism was the culprit for this shortly after his diagnosis.

Now when I'm writing for Levi, I like to think that his diagnosis was around the early 1990s since, while autism was a separate diagnosis in 1980, it didn't really start becoming fairly accepted and expanded upon until 1987. Hence why everyone is mostly used to it by now, but are still sometimes off put by his odd behavior; for them, as beings that have been around since...the beginning of the universe, pretty much as far as we know, but for at LEAST since humans were around (so at VERY least 2.5 million years now, but potentially up to around 7 million years (if they haven't been around since the beginning of creation)), this would be like...I dunno, give me a second.

Waiting

Waiting...

Okay, so from 1990(earliest year I have in mind) to 2019 (the year it was released) is 29 years. That's a minimum of 1/86,206.89th of their lifespan, and a maximum of 1/475,862,068.96th of their total lifetime.

So this is a VERY recent development for them on the grand scheme of things, but I digress.

So they're still figuring everything out, especially as the human race continues to learn about the condition itself.

So the first time Levi threw a tantrum and they recognized it for what it was...it was certainly interesting.

What had happened was exactly the situation described; Levi had wanted to go to a concert in the human world and they were raffling off free tickets. Except, unlike now, his brothers hadn't offered their support. They hadn't in the past, why would this time be any different?

Except now they viewed it through a different light. Leviathan had an image in his head that he desired so badly and had asked his brothers to support him, hopeful, only to be rejected at every turn. That he was used to, but it was still upsetting.

He put that to the side, though. He really wanted to see this band, and these were VIP tickets where you got to hang out with the band for a few hours after the concert! They'd cost a LOT of human money, and while they COULD afford it, he knew Lucifer would be bringing hell down upon him if he used that amount of family funds on a concert. And his anxiety was already somewhat raised, so he decided to enter the raffle on his own.

He sat there for hours, waiting for the results to come in. He'd hyped this up in his brain the entire time; He'd win, go to an amazing concert, have dinner with the band, maybe even make some friends....!...and then the results came back. He hadn't won.

As per usual, our snek boi went into one of his rants about how unfair it was, but instead of going on a rampage or something like that, locked himself up in his room and cried, hating himself for getting so excited over nothing.

As I mentioned before, I've made another post about a tantrum/getting too overwhelmed slipping into something even more dire, as that's almost always what happens to me. This would be in the 90s, so this would be their first real incident with one of these moments where they had the proper diagnosis, so bear with me, there will be some angst here, but like the other post, it'll be fine.

So Mammon ends up feeling bad for rejecting his little brother, and, not knowing it was too late, decided to go to his room and offer his support. It was almost Leviathan's birthday anyways, and Mammon knew how rejection felt and how much it sucked. So, he knocked on Leviathan's door.

No response. He knocked again...still no response, but a quiet sob.

Right away, Mammon switched from semi-carefree to worried. "Levi...?"

Again, no response. He decided to just go in and check on his brother...

The door was locked. And he smelled blood.

"Leviathan, I need you to open the door," Mammon said with a half hearted chuckle, his voice now becoming slightly strained. "Because if ya don't, I'm gonna have t' break the door down."

"Just go away!" Leviathan cried from inside his room. "Just leave me alone, you jerk!"

"I ain't goin' anywhere. Either open the door or I'm gonna break it down. Those are your two choices."

A moment of silence, before Mammon sighs, stretching, as he transforms into his demon form.

"Alright, option two it is."

He rammed into the door repeatedly, before the wood finally splintered and fell to the ground with a loud thud. Mammon quickly looked around, eyes widening as he saw Leviathan digging his own sharpened nails into his arms, multiple raked wounds, made by the same culprit, carved into his skin.

"Levi...look at ya..." Mammon said, voice faltering, tears welling up in his eyes. "I...how long has..."

"Just shut up! Don't act like you care about me, I'm the freak of our family, remember?! I'm the one whose brain isn't right, I'm just a shut-in, good for nothing, re-!"

He was quickly cut off by Mammon going to him and hugging him.

"I don't care who you are. You talk about my brother like that again and I'll kill you. Alright? You're a little off, but you ain't a freak, and your brain works just fine as is. You're perfect just the way you are, and if anybody else says any different, I'm gonna beat them the fuck up. Including you. Got that? So what if you've got that fancy lable on ya now...? Labels like that matter, but it didn't change ya. You're still my cringe, annoying as hell little weirdo of a brother...and I wouldn't have ya any other way."

Leviathan fully listened to Mammon talk, before clinging to him, breaking down sobbing again, and trying to explain what happened through his tears, the older demon gently rubbing his back and allowing him to cry it out, making sure no more harm was done.

A while later, once Levi had calmed down, Mammon ruffled his hair.

"Let's get you cleaned up, yeah? Lucifer is already gonna kill me for breaking your door, but he'd be even more pissed if I just left you here with those wounds."

So they did. And Mammon, after telling a VERY angry Lucifer what had happened hours later, had surprisingly NOT gotten chewed out by the eldest brother. Instead, that day, the entire family had a long discussion, and they all agreed that if it was something as small as entering a raffle, or even if it was bigger but not an inconvenience to anyone in the slightest, they'd all help out from then on. It's not like it was hard, and it would save Levi from hours of stress and negativity toward himself and others around him.

They also made a plan for if a tantrum were to happen while someone was around, or if he became too overwhelmed and started to spiral...because, as annoying as he could be, Leviathan was still family. And they loved him, oddities and all.

---------------

Alright, so...that was the post! I hope it was okay. I know I've written about this type of thing before a little, but different situations can end up with the same negative outcome, like being in an overwhelming situation, or not being able to change your thinking and not easily being able to get over your expectations. I've personally suffered with both, and it's a regular thing for me, so I like writing about it, because maybe, just maybe, it'll help someone out, or help someone that isn't autistic understand a friend or relative or classmate or employee better. And I love these characters, I really do. The only ironic thing is that I see so much of myself in Leviathan, but I adore him and despise myself. Go figure 😂

Regardless, I hope you enjoyed, and if there's anything you guys have questions about (in regards to me and my experience), or any specific writing requests, asks are fully open!

Thanks so much for being here to support me, you have no idea how much it means to a little oddball such as myself.

[after-nine-at-the-oasis]

OKAY SO DURING 9-1-1 I SAW A COMMERCIAL FOR 9-1-1 LONE STAR P L U S THERE WAS THE SLIGHTLY DIFFERENT PROMO AFTER THE 9-1-1 PROMO AND AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

So, a few thoughts from what I happened to catch with two watches of the first one and one of the second one after the 9-1-1 promo, lol

Owen being restless, I guess? Needing to fight dragons lol, I only saw the shots before that when I re-watched it and that emphasized the restlessness or whatever lol

The frogs!!

Based on the frogs and everything else I'm assuming tornado? Looks crazy though o.o

Not that tornadoes aren't crazy I'm just saying no matter what lol

THE TARLOS SHOT!!

The way TK was smiling at Carlos :DDD I have to know what that scene is immediately please (no I do want to be surprised l) <333

I am so ready to have my boys back xddd

Not ready to add another tv show to my roster but nonetheless lol

That's why I'm glad it's not for a while yet xD

Anyway, in short, I love them your honor <33

Also that shot of Carlos waiting in the firehouse?? I wonder what that's about 👀👀🤔 /gen (it sounded sarcastic for some reason idk lol)

Like TK or some other reason? My guess is some other reason based on his face but ┐⁠(⁠ ⁠∵⁠ ⁠)⁠┌

Anyway GRAAAACE is that season 1 reminiscent hair I saw? 👀 Loving it, stan, queen, we love her so much <333

Also ahhh I'm so ready to see Charlie again :DD

Also yeah lol I don't think FROGS are more wild than A VOLCANO Mateo xDD I'm with Marjan on this one lol

Also I think there was a shot of Tommy at a church or something? I'm not really sure I'd have to go check again (and I will after this I just need to have SOME self restraint l) but it looked cool! As in looks like it'll be interesting but probably it looked cool too lol xDD

Anyway I don't remember if there was anything specific for Paul but just know <333

I lomve him 🥰🥰🥰 lol

And of course we love Judd being Owen's semi-long-sufferring bestie xDD Like the "okay listen up" lol

I'm sure there was another scene of Judd, another scene of all of them and a bit yeah xD I'm not gonna let myself check again or I'll be here forever

Anyway yeah I love all of them <333

Only two more months guys!! We got this :DD!

[childofhelios]

special chemistry (candy, candy)

ship: Na Jaemin x Lee Jeno x Huang Renjun

characters: Na Jaemin, Lee Jeno, Huang Renjun

rating: general

word count: 1,098

 the title is from baekhyun’s candy lolol and this was based off the prompt: “do you really need all of that candy?” this took me like ten freaking years to write this, im sorry if the flow is weird. half of it was written was when i was really sleep deprived and the other half i had written at 3 am after sleeping for like five hours vkjsnldkdv. also it feels very renmin heavy bc i really like their dynamic and wanted to build on it. but please enjoy and feel free to send a message/ask about it :DDD

“Do you really need all of that candy?”

“Come onnnnnn, it’s not even that much!”

I glance at the cart I’ve been pushing around for the last hour, the contents nearly spilling over the top, and look back at him. 

“Okay, maybe I did go a bit over the top, but you can’t blame me. The house, and I, have been seriously sugar deprived.”

“Jaemin, this is our fourth time here in a month. You’re not deprived, you’re dependent.”

“Well, if you feel like that, then me and my candy are leaving.” He pouts, but I can tell it isn’t sincere due to the sparkle in his eyes. He pulls the cart into another aisle, leaving me behind. I stand there for a while until I feel my phone buzz. 

My ☀️: are you coming 🥺

I roll my eyes as I turn the corner. There isn’t many people in the shop so it was easy to spot the cart, which is being manned by two people. I creep up and pull the person nearest me into a chokehold.

“RENJUN! Let go of me!”

“No, this is your fault. You enable him too much and that’s how we end up here all the time.”

“You don’t enable him enough.” 

I glare at him before ruffling his hair and letting him go. “That isn’t true and you know it. Besides, we barely have enough room in the kitchen to fit all of this. Can’t we just take some stuff out?”

“Jeno, don’t you dare let him. By the time he’s done, the cart will be empty.”

“That’s the point!” 

Jeno puts his hands in his pockets and shrugs. “My moon, just let him buy what he wants and he can suffer consequences.”

“Don’t “my moon” me. You know that we’re gonna be the ones taking care of him when he gets a stomachache again. I refuse to watch Beauty and the Beast for 45th time.”

Jaemin pipes up. “I will not stand for Beauty and the Beast slander. It’s a masterpiece.”

“Then sit. “

“Okay, how about this: my sun, we will take out some of the more expensive stuff but we’ll get everything else. And then, my moon, we’ll visit that hotpot place you like down the street and I’ll make sure that Jaemin doesn’t eat any of this until tomorrow afternoon. Sound like a plan?”

“My star, no wonder the two of us make up the better half of this relationship.” Jaemin slides an arm around his waist and smiles blaringly at Jeno.

I huff, throwing my hands in the air. “Jaemin, that’s not even how basic math works!”

“Who says it doesn’t work like that?”

“Anyone who knows two shits about math!!!”

We argued all the way until we got to the cash register. I reluctantly scanned everything in cart, ignoring Jaemin’s excited stare and Jeno’s content one. When I pulled out my card to pay, a hand stops.

“Renjun, you really don’t have to pay for it. I can do it, since I’m the reason we’re here.”

“Jaemin, it’s fine. I don’t mind. I might complain a lot, but I like being here, especially with you two.” I hold his hand and lean in, whispering. “Besides, you can share some of the chocolates we bought as collateral. Deal?”

“Deal.”

“Lovely. Now that’s dealt with, let’s leave Jeno to deal with the bags while we go warm up in the car.” Jaemin and I link arms and walk away quickly so Jeno’s shouts grow softer and softer. We climb into the car, both of us in the backseat. We’re both breathing heavily and when we lock eyes, we start laughing hysterically. Even as the trunk opens to a slightly annoyed Jeno to when he climbs into the driver’s seat, we couldn’t stop laughing.

“You know, sometimes it feels like you two gang up on me almost as much yall do it to each other.”

Jaemin gives him a kiss on the cheek. “Yeah, that’s because of the law of equivalent exchange. You give us love and devotion in its original form and we give it back to you in the form of bullying. See? Completely fair.”

“That sounds like the complete opposite of fair. Renjun, back me up here.”

“Shhhhhhh, let’s drive. There’s a bowl of hotpot with my name on it.” Jeno grumbles, but we catch each others eyes in the rearview mirror. I smile at him, and his eyes run into crescents that make me want to call him “my moon” instead. He puts the car in drive and pulls out of the parking lot, the quiet hum of the car almost lulling me to sleep. I look over to my side, but Jaemin is already knocked out and snoring softly. 

 I lean forward in my seat to talk to Jeno. “I’m amazed at how fast he falls asleep sometimes.”

“Well, he didn’t sleep last night. I’m surprised he didn’t knock out earlier.”

“Did he have a nightmare or something?”

“Nope, he just didn’t feel like it.” I frown and look back at him. He looks so peaceful that I really don’t want to disturb him. 

“Maybe we should-”

“Order it to-go and eat it at the house?”

“You read my mind, my star. Thank you.” He hums in agreement and I sit back. Once we arrive at the restaurant, I go in and pick up the food. I open and close the door gently, trying not to disturb him. Then, we drive back to our house which is only 15 minutes away thankfully. Jeno parks the car and we are faced with a dilemma. 

“Wait, are we gonna wake him up to go inside?”

“That’s what we should do.” Five minutes of agonizing over what to do, we decided to have me carry in the food and Jeno carry in Jaemin. 

“Why does it feel like I do all of the heavy work in this relationship.”

“Maybe don’t go to the gym everyday and have a body builder figure.”

“We all go to the gym together! Jaemin works out almost as much as me!”

I shush him. “Shut up, you’re gonna wake him up.” Jeno walks away and the sight of the two of them makes my heart swell. Jaemin, drooling on Jeno’s shoulder in sound sleep, and Jeno, who noticed and is most definitely annoyed by it but won’t say anything about it. Seeing the two of them makes me realize something. I won’t ever tell them this, but even though Jaemin has the sugar addiction, they’re the two sweetest things in my life.

Kingdom Hearts and what it means to me:

Kingdom Hearts is officially 20 years old, and that is insane to me, I haven’t been in the community as long as some (as I’m basically the same age as the game lol) but I know the games impact on others and been impacted myself. So I just want to say a few things about the series;

I have very blurry memories of the first game of when I first went though it but replaying it now, it’s just a very simple and grounded story about three friends and some Disney characters and it’s just a really cosy game, not amazing but nice and nostalgic. KH2 was when I started getting invested, Roxas and the Organisation were so interesting and this in my opinion was the start of the batshit but amazingly complex story of Kingdom Hearts, so much was set up by this game and it really set the tone for what was to come.

The plethora of side games are somehow some of my favourite games in the series, 358/2 days developed everyone’s favourite characters and arguably had one of the saddest stories. DDD developed the relationship of Sora and Riku and made their friendship really matter and feel real you know. But my favourite in this lot is Birth by Sleep, we were introduced to so much new stuff and built upon the world. The introduction of the Wayfinder trio and their story is one of my favourites, it’s built on tragedy but it still has a feeling of wholesomeness before everything goes wrong for them. And seeing the Organisation members in the past gave me the ‘warm and fuzzies’ as my boy Xiggy would say. All these side games are just great and just build upon the world of Kingdom Hearts.

And finally Kingdom Hearts 3, I was actually able to be there for the hype build around this game. I remember the trailers coming out and freaking out over seeing an add for the game on the side of a bus. The hype was insane, and I believe the game lived up to it. It brought most of everything that had been built up to this point and brought every character together for the end of an era. I remember crying over the Wayfinder and Sea-salt trio’s reunions and then absolutely loosing my shit at the ending. As in both Sora just fading out of existence and at the Xigbar/Luxu reveal. It was crazy and us as a collective fanbase went crazy.

This series has been one crazy ride and we’re not even done yet, we have many more years a head of us and I don’t think the series is going to finish any time soon. It feels like the tale being told has just begun, and we’re all just along for the ride. I’m excited to see where things go from now on and I hope we get a game soon because I am desperate to see what comes next!

Happy 20 years of Kingdon Hearts everyone!!!

[arminiloveyou]

hiii i’m so excited i love matchups :)

can i get romantic and both aot and jjk men pls!! i hope this is an okay amount of information haha

i’m pretty short and i have short brown hair and hazel eyes. some of my fav things are reading/writing, going to the gym and getting coffee. i also like painting once in a while and listening to music <3 my fav animals are cats hehe. i’m super organized and clean, like it’s honestly both my best and worst trait bc i am constantly planning and making lists to an excessive amount. im pretty quiet and have a dry sense of humor but i’m more talkative when i’m around my friends i just like having alone time :) i’m also a gemini sun virgo moon istj 6w5 if ur into typology/astrology lol

hiii yes it is!! i hope you enjoy your matchup!!

for jujutsu kaisen i match you with…

inumaki toge n fushiguro megumi

originally, i picked toge but, i could see you n megumi gelling well as well. toge was picked simply cause i can see him really enjoying being around someone enjoying the “simple” pleasures of life. to someone else the daily tasks yall do in each other’s company may seem boring or unfulfilling but to toge his heart is literally expanding when he’s around you. he couldn’t be happier. he texts you random shit sometimes just in case he forgets to bring it up later “baby. when we r older we will get a cat!! our cat!! i’m going to take a nap now::DDD dream of u n our cat!!” . megumi came into my mind cause i think he really needs a calm s/o. also, i think you having dry humor would suit him super well. like you’d like “oh maybe that went over his head” or “damn, i might’ve seemed like a dick there” but his face is adorned by a bashful smile whenever he hears you. he himself can’t even fully comprehend just how much your humor aligning means to him - it brings him a warmth he’s never felt before. he can let him guard down with you. also!! he loves to lay in bed n the pair of you read your respective books (whenever you read in bed with toge, on the other hand, he just curls into a ball on your lap which is very cute as well heehee). megumi tends to get distracted by glancing over at you… which turns into a look, then a stare, n then you notice… “ah.. sorry, i just love lookin at you… concentrating… it makes me consider how you hold so much in your mind… sorry…i love you” he blushes soooo much. that’s how he ended up telling you he loves you for the first time n he beats himself up for letting it out so “lamely”

for attack on titan i match you with…

armin arlert

pretty boy armin strikes again. he’s just the best boy. you two have soooo many shared interests - library dates with coffee!! if you invite him to go on a run or to the gym with you he’ll freak outttt deciding what to wear (you make him nervous🥺) but will be so honored that you’re allowing him to accompany you in a big part of you life!! “go to the gym with you!! are you sure? 🥺🥺🥺🥺i mean i will i want to!! it’s just i don’t wanna slow you down or anything!!” he’d be soooo extremely excited if you ever asked him to read your work!! “omg your writing?? babe i’ve always wanted to read it but i didn’t wanna invade on your personal space/craft or make you uncomfy🥺i’ll read anything you show me - whether it’s a sentence or eleven million pages🥹💌🫂i bet it’s amazing!!”

[wille-zarr]

HELLO! ITS HERE, FINALLY. I DREW MY VERSION OF READER HERE YA GO MY DUDE ITS. A LOT. IM NERVOUS

((THE HAT WAS REALLY HARD TO GET TO MAKE SENSE WITH WHAT I IMAGINED))

And some headcanons!

One of the HCs I have is that she lived in a community kinda like on Sorgan, (athough in canon she might have just lived with her close family from what’s in the story so far? Luke-style, hell yeah)

Instead of Krill being their main source of income, it was this really pretty wool the livestock had that would sparkle like fresh snow, kinda like the webs that are mentioned! Fabrics were their Thing 👏 (I also have various designs for what the animals might look like :DDD)

The big, poofy ponchos were the norm. Hats, scarves and goggles commonplace too! Making for the Cutest Fashion. I’m thinking she had to sell hers at some point for various reasons once she went offworld (unnecessary for the types of planets she was on, too identifyable as Sularian wool, needed money to Live) and kept the other three items for their versatility (and sentimental value ;n;)

Also, we see what her hair was like a bit longer. (no sketches with it waist-length yet!) very thick and floofy. RIP ;^; I like to think this is a trait of her people as well. It makes sense that she would miss it

I have more fan interpretations of the story that will probably change the more we get to see in-canon, but I hope you like these!! I’d love to send more ^//^ Thank you for IFOW!! it’s inspired me to create a lot 💚

(P.S I haven’t read the new chapter but I’m rEALLY EXCITED I’m gonna be rereading a bit to prepare)

Above is fanart for “The Mandalorian” fanfiction: In Fields of White

(The art looks best on the mobile app; it might look a bit off on desktop!)

What is your name?

Because I might want to name my firstborn child after you

HSJSHSSHHSHSHS I SCREAMED LIKE A BANDHEE WHEN I SAW THIS I JUST- I IMMEDIATELY SENT IT TO MY FRIEND AT 1AM AND SHOWED MY SISTER LIKE LOOK, LOOK AT THIS AMAZING 

✨A R T✨

WHERE DO I BEGIN. (Probably should start by taking caps-lock off lol)

1. You NAILED Starlight/Ka’r’ika/Reader’s expressions. NAILED. THEM. Like the lopsided smirks? Sarcastic expressions? Murderous looks? You CAPTURED her spirit! 

2. I LOVE your interpretation of her appearance! The hat CRACKS me up!!! It’s so different from what I imagine, but it’s so freaking cute!!! And the poofy hair?? I LOVE IT. I HAVE POOFY HAIR SO I CAN RELATE.

3. The “KILL HIM FOR ME, CARA” AND THE DIN SMIRKING DOWN AT HER ART- I JUST SJSHSJDHJSHS

4. The name you gave Starlight/Ka’r’ika/Reader is lovely!!! Funny story- up until last chapter, she had an in-story name. 😂 I edited it out because I worried it ruined the immersion! But many people still refer to Starlight/Ka’r’ika/Reader as the name I gave her!

5. YOU HAVE AMAZING TALENT

-------

One of the HCs I have is that she lived in a community kinda like on Sorgan

Yes! It’s one of the reasons she loved her time on Arvala! It was like a piece of home. Though, her community was larger than the Sorgan one. :)

Instead of Krill being their main source of income, it was this really pretty wool the livestock had that would sparkle like fresh snow, kinda like the webs that are mentioned! Fabrics were their Thing 👏 (I also have various designs for what the animals might look like :DDD)

YES!!!!! You got it!! They herded for the wool/fur, not meat! I would LOVE to hear about your animal designs!!

The big, poofy ponchos were the norm. Hats, scarves and goggles commonplace too! Making for the Cutest Fashion.

ITS ADORABLE YOU ARE CORRECT

I have more fan interpretations of the story that will probably change the more we get to see in-canon, but I hope you like these!! I’d love to send more ^//^ Thank you for IFOW!! it’s inspired me to create a lot 💚

(P.S I haven’t read the new chapter but I’m rEALLY EXCITED I’m gonna be rereading a bit to prepare)

I am SO EXCITED my work inspired you to this degree!!! You have an amazing talent for capturing expressions and personalities through art. 

✨A M A Z I N G✨

I hope you enjoy the next chapter!! This has certainly been just such a treat! I might cry. 🥺💙

*LET ME KNOW IF YOU’D LIKE TO BE TAGGED*

Dynamic Duo Drabbles Masterlist

"'Why don't you trust me,' she typed to both of the boys."

With freedom in her sights, YN pulls into a parking spot in front of her dorms. She steps out of her Jeep and stares up at the four-story building in front of her.

A boy in a bright yellow T-shirt and clipboard in hand ran up towards YN, "Hi, I'm Trey. And I'm helping freshmen with their move-ins. Can I have your name?"

"Oh, uh, I'm YN Ackles."

Trey gave her a shocked look, "So it's true. We have a celebrity at our school."

YN immediately shook her head, "No, no. Just a regular girl who's parents happen to be celebrities that wants to get her degree and have her own life."

Trey nodded, "Yes ma'am! So you'll be on the 3rd floor, room 302," he paused reading his clipboard, "Oh, and your roommate is already checked in so she should be up there."

YN nodded, "Thanks, uh, is there any way you could help me with the mini fridge?"

Trey smiled, "Sure thing."

Across campus, Jensen and Jared sat in the bed of Jensen's truck looking at YN's Jeep in the parking lot.

"Jay, this isn't a good idea," Jared said.

Jensen sighed, "She's my babygirl. I need to make sure she's safe."

"Spying on her isn't the best way to do it though."

"What else am I supposed to do? Blow up her phone with calls and texts, asking her-"

Just then, Jensen's phone started ringing. He pulled it out of his pocket and saw YN's name flashing across the screen.

He quickly answered, "Hi honey. Did you make it to school all right?"

"Yeah, I just got checked in and one of the RA's are helping me with my fridge."

Jensen paused, "RA? Male or female?"

"Dad, I'm 18. Boys aren't your concern anymore."

"You're right, you're right. I'm sorry. So how' the-"

"Sorry, Dad. I got to go. Trey is helping me with my stuff. Call you tonight!"

"Wait wait, who's Trey-"

YN hung up before Jensen could get another word in. His phone dropped to his lap and he stared off towards YN's Jeep.

"Well," Jared said, "What did she say?"

"We can't leave, Jared. We have to stay here. She's with some boy."

Jared laughed, "Jensen, she's dated guys before. That's not new."

"No he's...he's helping her with her belongings. What if he helps her unpack? What if they..." Jensen shivered at the thought in his head.

Jared sighed, "So what? Are we just going to camp out here all day?" ______________________ YN and her roommate were walking out of their building and towards the university square where there was a karaoke show happening. YN had quickly become friends with her roommate and was getting more comfortable with the college life.

There were many people that recognized her because of her father, but she shrugged it off and explained to them that is not who she is here.

She was simply YN Ackles, an English and Psychology double major from Austin, Texas.

YN and her roommate found a spot near the stage so they could watch the show. Several people came up to YN, introducing themselves and asking to sit near her.

Back across campus, Jensen is still sitting at the bed of his truck but this time he had a pair of binoculars and is watching YN from afar.

Jared is in the passenger seat of the truck, wishing he was home instead of here.

"Hey, Jared. There's like a ton of kids grouping around her," Jensen yelled behind him.

"Mhmm," Jared responds.

"And it looks like...it's older boys! Why are older boys around her?!"

"Who knows."

"Jared, are you evening listening?"

Jared stuck his head out of the truck, "To be honest, no. I stopped listening about 4 hours ago when you kept freaking out that YN hadn't come out of her room."

Jensen sighed, "I just want-"

"To make sure she's safe. I know, Jay."

Jensen grumbled and went back to spying on his daughter. Jared rolled his eyes and new he was going to regret leaving the truck.

Jared got out of the truck and walked towards Jensen, "She is safe though, Jensen. Look at her, she's having fun. She's meeting new people. She's-"

"She's getting on stage!" Jensen yelled as he stood from the bed of the truck.

YN was in fact walking on the stage after everyone was cheering her name, begging her to sing. She laughed and tried to talk her way out of it, but it was no use.

She walked on the stage and stood in front of the microphone, "Hey, uh, hey everyone. Um, so I guess I'll be singing...something."

YN walked over to the DJ and gave him a song to play then she walked back in front of the microphone.

Jensen grabbed Jared's shoulders, "What if she starts singing and they throw things at her?!"

"Jensen, you and I both know that won't happen. YN has a beautiful singing voice."

"But what if she messes up the words?" Jensen continued panicking.

"It's karaoke. That happens."

"But what if...what if..."

"Jay, you have got to calm down. YN is fine. She's having a good time. Just leave her be. Let's go back to Austin and let her live her life," Jared stated calmly.

Jensen sighed, "Maybe you're right. Maybe I'm overreacting."

Jared looked past Jensen to the stage, "Isn't that the guy that helped her move in today?"

"What?!" Jensen spun around.

They were right. Trey joined YN on stage for a duet of Shallow. The music began to play, the guitar begin strummed made YN sway in front of the microphone.

Trey walked up to the microphone, closed his eyes, and sang his part, "Tell me somethin', girl. Are you happy in his modern world? Or do you need more? Is there somethin' else you're searchin' for? I'm falling. In all the good times I find myself Longin' for change. And in the bad times I fear myself..."

Trey smiled at YN after singing his part. She blushed at him and smiled back.

While Trey was singing, Jensen devised a plan, "Okay, we're going down there. And we're just going to listen. But if something happens, we're getting her out of there."

"Jay, this isn't a good idea. You really aren't thinking-"

"Oh, she's about to sing. Let's go!"

Jensen hauled ass and ran towards the stage. Jared rolled his eyes and ran after him. He quickly caught up to Jensen, but not by running past him.

Jared tripped over his own feet. He fell and ended up rolling down the hill towards the stage. Jensen turned and saw Jared rolling behind him. He tried to dodge, but Jared ran into him, causing him to fall as well.

Meanwhile, YN was singing her part on stage, "Tell me something, boy. Aren't you tired tryin' to fill that void? Or do you need more? Ain't it hard keeping it so hardcore? I'm falling..." but she got interrupted by Jensen and Jared.

The two men fell on the stage right behind her. YN and Trey turned around and saw Jensen on top of Jared holding his head.

Jensen looked up to YN and chuckled nervously, "Hey, sweetheart. We, uh, we just wanted to check in. See how college was going."

Trey then yelled out, "Holy shit, it's Jensen Ackles and Jared Padalecki!"

The crowd started screaming and fangirling at the two celebrities. They crowded around the stage, jumping around in excitement.

Jensen and Jared finally got to their feet and walked up behind YN. Jensen laid a hand on her shoulder, but YN quickly shoved it off.

"What the hell are you two doing?" YN yelled.

Jared turned to Jensen, "Before we explain, just know your father dragged me into this."

Jensen glared at Jared, "Thanks, man," he turned back to YN, "Honey, I'm sorry. I just wanted to make sure you were safe."

"Safe? Dad, have you been here all day?"

Jensen looked at his feet, "Not all day. More like 5 minutes after you got here this afternoon."

"What? Have you lost your minds? Do you seriously not trust me enough to be on my own that you'd just crash in here?" YN screamed.

"No, no. It's not that we don't trust you. We just don't trust..." Jensen pointed at Trey, "That. Boys like him have intentions with girls like you."

YN clenched her teeth, "Girls like what, Dad?"

Jensen gulped, "Just like...girls that are, you know, innocent and such and-"

"And nothing, Dad. I can't believe you two don't trust me! And Trey? He's an RA, all he did was help me move into my room. I asked him to sing with me on stage, big deal. He's a friend."

Jared stepped towards YN, "We're sorry, YN. Truly, we are."

YN shook her head as tears filled her eyes, "No you're not. You embarrassed me. You made me look so stupid. And now nobody will see me as myself. They'll only see me as Jensen's kid or Jared's niece," she turned away from them and mumbled, "I hope you're happy."

Then YN sprinted back to her building and to her dorm. Jared and Jensen stood on the stage and watched her run.

"We messed up," Jensen whispered.

Jared turned and hit the back of his head, "You think?!"

That night, Jared and Jensen sat on Jensen's couch and stared blankly at the wall in front of them. Genevieve and Danneel scolded them when they got back, both women receiving phone calls from YN before the men got home.

Jared sighed, "I'm the worst uncle."

Jensen scoffed at him, "Worst uncle? Try being the worst father."

Then Jensen's and Jared's phones chimed, alerting them of a text. They were both shocked to see YN's name on their screens. They exchanged a worried look before opening the message.

YN sat on her bed, still crying from the events that happened that evening. Her roommate was out of the room, leaving YN alone.

She stared at the ceiling, talking to herself, "Why? Why did that humiliate me like that? What made them think that was okay? Do they...do they not trust me to make the right choices?"

YN pulled out her phone and typed out a text to Jensen and Jared. "Why don't you trust me", she typed to both of the boys.

Jensen and Jared stared at their phones for a moment, reading YN's message over and over again.

"How am I going to fix this, Jared?" Jensen asked his best friend.

Jared shrugged, "To be honest, I don't think you can. This is going to take some time. Just...just leave her alone for a while. Let her call you when she's ready."

Jensen nodded, "You're right."

That night, Jensen and Jared didn't move from the couch. They both felt so bad from their actions. YN cried herself to sleep. She didn't understand why her father and uncle did what they did.

To be honest, Jensen nor YN knew what to do. It's just going to take time to get over this.

[twilightknight17]

Today on P5S, it is entirely unfair how cool our Monarch of Arrogance is. God. What the fuck. Dark Souls, in my Persona??? X’D

Konoe’s Jail once again set off my fight or flight reflexes, because after the colored door and switch puzzle, it decided to once again emulate Okumura’s Palace by having us collect cards to gain VIP access to the airship that would take us to the castle.

Fortunately, it was a fairly straightforward area, and I got to run over an entire hallway’s worth of Naga with a futuristic golf cart, so things were pretty good! Got our keycard, entered the airship hanger, ready for departure!

........and that’s all we get. A fade-to-black, and a checkpoint in a new area. Disappointing.

Slightly less disappointing. What a cool view.

We have to leave the Jail for the day because “the great Akira’s hero show” is beginning, so there’s a crowd of people and guards gumming up the building entrance. In the real world, this translates to Konoe being on a talk show.

I swear to god, they only have one talk show set. XDDD

One of the things he says on TV is that “the world is about to undergo a massive transformation, and I’m hoping to steer it in the right direction.” I’m going to keep making jokes about you being Shido and Maruki’s lovechild for as long as you keep choosing questionable wording like that, sir. This country is not a goddamn ship. We’ve already proved that!

Pot??? Kettle????? Good god, you fucking hypocrite. X’‘‘DDD The world’s savior, everyone!

I am having a lovely time in Osaka. Apparently they’re well-known for their takoyaki specifically, aside from being a foodie paradise in general. But I swear to god, Akira, if you actually put mayonnaise, mochi, and cheese on squid all at once, I will end you.

My cat won’t let me eat a crepe, but he’ll allow this madness.

Anyway, after a good night’s sleep, it’s time to storm the castle! And once we made it inside, we were immediately teleported to a dungeon. I’m not mad about that part; we got out in like five minutes. Shoddy security. What I am mad about is that it cut off the ‘storming the castle’ music, because I really like that track.

The top of the tower revealed a cage, the same as the other Jails, and the Thieves were caught off-guard by the notion that Konoe has some kind of trauma. Futaba says that he seems far too confident and being traumatized doesn’t fit his image, to which I say, my absent boyfriend was the same way, sis. You never know.

They trick Wolf into touching the barrier and learning what kind of trauma it was that sent Konoe out of control. He screams. It’s great. :3

........hm. Apparently my Akira’s not the only one with shitty parents. At least his are improving. This sounds very bad.

Yusuke: “Nothing changes the fact that Akira Konoe is an incredibly dangerous man who changes other’s hearts and robs them of their free will.”

Me: Gee, kids, you waffled a lot more about Maruki. Konoe’s just trying to eliminate evil because of his trauma, right??? -_-;;;

Sophia’s confused why Konoe’s father would be that awful to him when they’re family. To answer your question, yes, darling, family is very important, that’s why I’m adopting you as my fourth little sister. You’re wonderful.

Konoe’s Trauma Cell is at his old family home. Twenty years ago, Konoe’s father was killed in a robbery. The killer was never caught. Here, the Phantom Thieves are treated to a lock keeper in the form of Konoe’s father, who has wonderful things to say, like...

“Keeping you around’s a real pain in the ass. Maybe I should just kill you, too.”

.....too?

“What the fuck are you mumbling about, you freak? Not like it matters, you’ll be joining your mother soon enough!”

...................uh...

Atlus.

God, they just keep giving me reasons to write the Hours version of Scramble, I swear to god. This is begging for some Goro commentary.

Zenkichi gets everyone back on track, reminding them that an abusive childhood does not absolve someone of attempting to take over the world. The kids head out for the day, and postpone planning the calling card because Zenkichi had something else to do.

That something else turned out to be meeting with Commissioner Kaburagi. Apparently she helped Sae get him out of prison. He tells her that he’s intending to arrest Owada once Konoe confesses, and she gives him three days to get shit done. Meanwhile, she strongly implies that she’s going after the Commissioner General, whose heart might have been changed.

And Konoe’s just chilling in his fancy office, talking on the phone with Owada and checking in with EMMA. He gets EMMA to confirm that the Thieves are still imprisoned in the Kyoto Jail, and that’s... interesting.

...........strange. Why is EMMA lying to him?

It also confirms for him that the Thieves’ hearts cannot be changed (but not why), and he basically shrugs and is like, “Well, I guess they’ll just have to rot in there.” What a paragon of justice and goodness, leaving teenagers to die.

EMMA seemingly being dishonest brings me to another interesting point from his interview earlier:

Now, this could be either Tokyo Tower or the Skytree. However, it doesn’t really matter.

The point is that I want an absolutely batshit final boss on top of one of those towers. XDDDDD

Anyway.

The Phantom Thieves hijack Madicce’s blimp to drop calling cards all over Osaka, combined with a live broadcast. They let Zenkichi write the card, without supervision for some reason, so it ended up reading like an arrest warrant. Zenkichi sees no problems with this. He definitely needs more practice. And then, it’s off to confront Konoe’s Shadow, and see what the fuck he has to say for himself.

......all of you people are the SAME. This is why Mitsuru doesn’t want this stuff to be public knowledge, oh my GOD. I know the gods are real to some extent but they are not picking YOU. Where did you even learn about the cognitive world, anyway?

He just flat out admits that he wants to rule the world so he can erase evil. Which, I can think of one entity that definitely ought to be striking you down where you stand. I’d be okay if there wasn’t even a boss fight here, there’s just a giant tentacle that appears and crushes him to death and then we go home. X’‘‘‘D

......god, if I really do set Hours!Scramble after Royal, it’s just going to be the kids stuck in a constant loop of “not this shit again”. X’‘‘D

FUCK OFF, MARUKI.

On the one hand, he has half a point, and I was literally having a discussion yesterday about how the Thieves’ methods definitely have an element of grey morality to them.

On the other, the difference is we’re specifically targeting criminals. You are targeting literally everyone, including innocent people. Show me your boss form so we can throw down.

.....oh.

He’s... He’s got a cool Zephyrman suit. And a giant mech. We’re fighting a big anime mech. omg. omg omg omg.

We get to use railguns to blast the shit out of his overpowered mech suit. And when it’s eventually destroyed, he walks out of the smoke ready to throw down with a red lightsaber and he looks like a fucking Dark Souls boss.

I unironically love this.

I’m writing Hours Scramble just so that Goro has a chance to swordfight this motherfucker. I love it.

I LOVE IT.

HE’S SO HARD. HE’S DODGING ALL MY SHIT LIKE SHADOW JOKER. HE’S USING THE SHIT IN THE ARENA AGAINST ME, LIKE I CAN DO TO HIM. THIS IS GREAT.

I stopped for the night before I beat him, but that just means that I get to watch that absolutely amazing cutscene again. Oh my gosh. I’m so excited.
