your alvi character is soooo cute and cool looking i love him…

OMG 🥺 TYSMMM He’s my pride and joy and I love him so so much!!! I have sm I still wanna do with him and I'm so so excited for KHML to get him back into the action! 🫶 Unfortunately that also means he will, on some level, being Going Thru It but that's a small price to pay for more content of my boy <3 <3 <3

I hope u dont mind me taking this moment to ramble abt his general deal and vibe bc I feel like my thoughts are all scattered throughout my art with him 😭🙏 Will add a cut and reading past is ofc optional but TYSM for the interest in general! His design is so fun to doodle and he’s got a whole Dreamhouse Closet of fits 👍

But!! Basically in UX my boy joined Vulpes and got his keyblade on his bday, Dec. 25th when he turned 13-14 or so :] he started out on his own and was pretty quiet but very compassionate which paid off in the long run and got him some good friends (both in the form of Ephemer and co. and then with my friends' keykids Vivian and Vial--highly rec checking out their art too btw !!! @thequibblingking13 and @thatalien404 I love Vial and Vivi so so much as well 🥺)

As he pulled in these new friendships (and in the case of Vivi and Vial, practically family/siblingship) Alvi ends up having that compassion fuel him to become more skilled with his keyblade, learn more about how to best guilt and use medals, the best ways to Raid, etc. in order to be able to both protect/keep the people he loves safe as well as to be a teacher. He loved exploring new worlds and helping people in general and I think would end up being the kinda general Big Brother FigureTM who other kids could run to with questions--especially as he got into his later teens.

He ends up learning quite fast and scaling up pretty exponentially compared to some of his peers and, in general, ends up fairly competitive with the weekly rankings and PVP (friendly still, but ready to give it his all) and with that, he ends up taking that protector role more seriously as he becomes more competent. By the time the War really comes around when he's like 15-16, he ends up sticking around to fight in the hopes of shouldering as much weight as he can in the place of others, as well as wanting to shield Vivi and Vial as best as he can.

Though things definitely do get murkier as he gets stronger. I think that he'd always been a bit more open/neutral to darkness as a concept. He knows it can corrupt but would use it in small increments, however those would become larger and be used more often as time passed in trade for more strength--more capability. It would culminate at it's most out of control/chaotic when fighting with the Foretellers (shoutout to Ira who reflected every light attack BTW. like okay bro. u asked for this ig 😐) where he'd really just let loose and give it all, though it'd leave him weak and also pretty freaked out. Plus the whole almost dying thing definitely adds to that 😭 so he'd rein things in dramatically after waking up from the war.

As for the amnesia about the war, things shift a little bit here and I think he'd sorta wake up to reality pretty quick, especially with the nightmares. He loves Chirithy but his was never the best at lying, and despite whatever bumps in the road he and Ephemer had, he doesn't anticipate that he'd ever lie straight to his face. So when he confronts Skuld and Ephemer about it all? Well, they hesitate enough to tell him something's up at the very least--as he suspected. He's sympathetic to his friends' new position as defacto leaders though and, being a pretty natural leader-type himself, knows how precarious of a situation it is regarding information on the war. It's horribly distressing for him to remember everything to say the least, and he figures himself pretty capable of handling it, so the thought of having so many of the other kids remember en masse and just start hurting despite it being over just leaves him feeling sick. He doesn't like lying either though, and it feels wrong to hide such a huge event--which the others sympathize with bc damn they're dealing with that conflict too 😭 But, ultimately, Alvi agrees to remain quiet about the whole ordeal--even to Vivi and Vial whom he shared everything with. Which creates. Problems. 😬

In the weird mundane time they spend in the digital daybreak before things start glitching and life is just continuing "as usual" Alvi ends up inadvertently pulling back from Vivi and Vial (as they can tell something is Up) and gets closer to all of the Union Leaders! I really think he'd get along well and have unique but fun friendships with each and every one of them :> There's already that like Besties Bond with Ephemer and Skuld, but I think he'd really love Ven, Brain, and Lauriam, too. He and Lauriam would be the tallest two of the bunch and I think would lowkey prod each other about it in a mini competition as they both continued growing, he would ADORE Ven and love carrying him on his shoulders and such, and I think would just be chill and funny with Brain. Put them in a room together and the sarcasm level doubles 🤝

When Vivi and Vial finally figure things out abt the War tho, and that Alvi was actively lying to them, ehm... 😬 Things begin going downhill FAST from there. He doesn't really have any good explanation for himself as he just wanted to protect them at his core, but it was still not the best way to probably deal with it. That said though, what's WORSE is how he responds to the question of whether he'd do it again and uh. Well. 🤡🤡🤡

So suffice to say, Vivi and Vial feel pretty damn betrayed and generally angry at him but Alvi has hope they can patch things up and get it all sorted out. But with each attempt to be more transparent about things, Alvi keeps having to clam up because a lot of the stuff he's been doing have been with the Union Leaders and needs to remain kinda lowkey, so he ends up being unable to really tell that much which just comes across as condescending at best for Vivi and Vial. And then the glitches start showing up 🧍‍♂️

Alvi, in the midst of trying to both apologize and explain once more to them both, gets pulled away to go help Ephemer investigate what's going on at the Clocktower. He leaves his little siblings with the promise that, the very moment he comes home, he will tell them everything and share everything about all the worlds he's seen since--just like how things used to be. They have his word! And it's still shaky ground but a potential light at the end of the tunnel! But, well, then he and Ephemer end up in Game Central Station and things get very out of hand very fast. The end of the game unravels faster than they can keep up and the last "interaction" Alvi has with his siblings is Vivi crumbling in her own fight across town as the feeling of Alvi getting that hit to the heart from Ephemer echoes through to her oTL

The end of UX makes me SO. AUGH. I feel like I've already talked a lot but there's just So Much in my head for my poor little guy and MAN. His end would follow the canon ending of the game pretty closely. He'd stick around with Ephemer and Skuld and help see the other Leaders off in the Ark with the intention to go grab Vial and Vivi and get them inside to safety before things go wrong again. One little thing I wanna draw or poke at somehow tho is that like, I think he'd give little mementos/gifts to the others before they send them off in the ARK. To Brain and Lauriam, he'd give them each one of his earrings, Elrena would get his neon bracelets, and Ven would get a moogle chain he always kept on his dufflebag :>

As for the final fight. MANNNN. I think that Alvi would be able to put on a pretty convincing act and, somewhat bitterly, kinda goes down the line of like "Well, I really am a liar lately, so what's one more?" and he'd go all-in to ensure Ephemer was pushed to his limit. WHICH SUCKS AND HURTS MY HEART TO THINK ABOUTTT. But he'd pull it off, and he'd get that shot to the heart, and I think in that fight it's poetic if he was fighting more in a stance like YX than usual. Smth smth foreshadowing also legacy etc. 🫶🫶🫶 He'd go out proud and happy, even if it was immensely bitter knowing the last memories his friends all shared with him.

Suffice to say I have SOOOO many thoughts abt him and I am SO excited for Missing Link to do a round 2 bc I have a rough idea of what I wanna do for his arc/character-wise on his second time around and I am also so hyped to get Brain back 🥺🥺🥺 I think their friendship is going to be so so crucial to Alvi in ML and I cannot WAIT to get into it!!! And OFC THE WHOLE RAISING OF XEHANORT??? MANNNNN. He would love Xehanort with everything he had. It's so bittersweet that he would've passed before Xeha started learning how to do a whole lot with the keyblade and got all manipulated by destiny bc like. Alvi would not be perfect, but he would've loved to train him himself. Which like also ik I'm #Coping and whatever but I'm just gonna say that Alvi, after passing in KHDR, is just chilling in Quadratum bc I'm sorry but he's far too stubborn to die and just leave his son behind so soon 🫶 I only have memes with them so far but I truly believe that Alvi and Xeha have a Like Father Like Son dyanmic thang going on. A long line of guys with something wrong with them 🫶💖

ANYWAYS IVE ALREADY TALKED SO MUCH AND COULD GO ON, APOLOGIES, BUT I LOVE LOVE LOVE MY LITTLE GUY AND ALL THE PREQUEL KEYKIDS SM ‼‼‼💖💖💖

Hey did you even post a piece of art of Steve Minecraft with enderman features wearing elytra while in the end? because I swear I remember you posting something like that but I can't find it and I'm going mad trying to find it

Ended up deleting it off the blog! I don't usually do so with my art but wasn't vibing with it v much </3 so no u are not insane!!! 😭😭😭 it indeed exists just moreso on my harddrive now :>

[wrestlezon]

Legitimate Question: why hate Jericho? Did he do something?

i dont think hes done, like, a sex crime or anything that major. tho the bar for what you can get away with in the wrestling industry is pretty fucking low so i'm shrugging, i couldve missed a jericho callout post out there. i vaguely remember something about his wife being at the jan 6th storming-of-the-us-capitol thing at least lol

mainly i think he has a lot of clout, experience, and backstage reputation to have things go his way, which would be fine if i liked him but instead i find him and his work to be this perfect 50/50 split of annoying/entertaining. which is not enjoyable for me. if you dont think hes annoying then you should live in your bliss. i just really dont enjoy how his feuds pan out and every time someone i like ends up feuding with him i find it miserable. sigh. his feud with eddie............. -_-

also as someone who wanted daniel garcia to be in the bcc and was really confused when it didnt pan out that way, seein those daniel garcia interview quotes about how the reason that didnt happen was because jericho said he needed him in his group (and garcia being sad about not being in the bcc alongside his favorite wrestler of all time bryan danielson) does not endear me to the guy either. in fact it displeases me

[hms-no-fun]

what's a good question to ask in the askzone

ask me about writing or production or movies or just like, whatever

[endlesshallownest]

Are there any rules for asksonas/ocs/etc? because im thinking about throwing my crystal-obsessed vessel boy into the askzone for funsies

Hmm, well I don’t see a problem with that! But all of the askers can’t actually show up physically so it’s just voices right now. That would be further proof for Ghost’s “all of you are actual ghosts” theory.

Pacing the floor frantically like a divorced detective haunted by a 40 year old cold case: I need to write more I need to draw more I need to make animatics I need to make original content I need to make fan content I need to make a video game I need to make a book I need to make a tv show I n—

[zonerz]

trick or treat :3c

FEDDY FABEAR ‼️🫵

[zonerz]

are u still updating answers 😢😢

Of course!! I have most of the next chapter done! I've just been hung up on getting one bit right and also errrr. hi the brainrot settled in don't mind Shadow here LMFAO 😭💖

But yes!! Even if I have breaks between chapters like this, know that I always intend on finishing the story :] I've been going for so long and have gotten so far I can't just stop now haha!

[zonerz]

Goddamnit, you tricked me into liking aiden, fuck you /j

LMAOOOO OKAY BUT LISTEN LISTENNN. Ik what he did but also homeboy literally was just having like a mental break induced by what could be a mix of loss/pain (Lukas can literally just abandon them if you convince him to stay in episode 3/4 which like. OUCHHHHHH that’s supposed to be their bestie and he, from their POV, left them to die. Additionally like he’d still be losing Lukas as a friend to Jesse so there’s a mix of loss and jealousy of Jesse there too) and a horrific ego—I feel like his apology at the end of episode 5, if you manage to see it, is very genuine and a conclusion he’ll come to regardless of what Jesse chooses to do in episode 5, it’s just streamlined if you save him.

I don’t think he’s a bad person at his core unlike other villains and if people will forgive Romeo who has done SO much worse then Aiden should be a no-brainer????? I like to think he’s improved and out of all the DLC villains would’ve had the easiest redemption and recovery if given the chance and that’s MY hot take /lh

[zonerz]

I need to know more about hiro’s and romeo’s enemies/annoyances to lovers arc.

THIS IS SO LATE APOLOGIES #workgrind💪

These two would be so fucking funny. POV ur Romeo just idk filing ur nails one day when this punk bitch with white eyes locks in with powers acting like hot shit and then you realize that you can’t even poof his powers away with your own. 1000% guaranteed that Hiro tried rolling up to beat Romeo up and thinking he was hot shit only to get thoroughly humbled upon realizing that. Erm. He’s only got that Demi-god type status 💀

But Hiro is also stubborn so, as he’d learn more over time, he’d try again and get further until Romeo is like “OKAY FINE LEAVE ME ALONE ‼️‼️” and lets him have the Nether. Hiro does not but it’s the thought that counts yk. Eventually Hiro chills out more and Romeo ends up just showing up on occasion just to like get into fights only for Hiro to be a lot more capable and bro gets ZAPPED 💖 Theyd be talking mad shit the whole time so on and so forth

Then Romeo ends up powerless, with a bruised ego, and nowhere else to go so he shows up on Hiro’s doorstep like “🧍erm……. Haiiiii…….” And Hiro BEGRUDGINGLY is like. 🙄 ur lucky I remembered that I am a decent man. And tada! Now they are roomie worsties 👍 But then over time as Romeo hangs out he grows an appreciation for the Nether he never appreciated as well as learning more about Hiro and seeing this new and gentler and more charming side to him. And on the flip side, Hiro learns how to work with, tolerate, and even find some endearing quirks in Romeo :>

WHAIYYT A SEC.

JESSE FOR SURE GOT HIS FRECKLES FROM HIS MOM RIGHT?!?!

I KNIW ITS UNIMPORTANT BUT IM LOOKING AT YOUR ART OF STEVE AND HIRO AND I SEE NEITHER A “FRECK” NOR AN “-LE”.

also are jesses granparents ever gonna have any significance? Even if they won’t is there anything about them you want to share that hasnt/wont show up in the story?

YEAH He would've gotten them from his mom!! As for grandparents I honestly hadn't really thought of much past brief ideas about what Steve and Hiro's childhoods would've been like in addition to the book Jesse technically has as a hand-me-down that his father and Hiro were gifted from their dad! They wouldn't be able to play much of a role as--and no worries it was VERY briefly mentioned I believe in either chapter 4/5 or a journal entry--they passed away before Jesse was born.

[zonerz]

Are we ever going to see Jesse meet Lukas’s parentssss 😭

I might do it in a side drabble but perhaps not in Answers itself!! I've got a lot of little things I could make little drabbles of that don't quite fit into the main story ;;w;;/ !!!
