KH3 liveblogging 4/4

Major spoiler warning! This took me so long because I was trying to 100% the game.

This thing where you have to gather Sora’s pieces is really trippy but cool.

Got 333 pieces. Yeah 8D

Kairi being what keeps Sora tethered to the world is great.

Okay so like... the reason Riku was talking to himself in that earlier scene (and no one else could see him doing this) is because Riku has been harboring Replica Riku’s heart in his this whole time and is able to summon him whenever he wants because he (unlike Sora) actually has the power of awakening? Or...

I like how half-hearted Luxord and Larxene were about fighting. Lol.

“I was just along for the ride” “With who?” “My secret” UHHH... 👀 My best guess is Marluxia given she knew him in KHUX time but who knows.

I also like how the other baddies just stay back while the dying character talks with Sora and co. before they disappear.

Let 👏 Kairi 👏 fight 👏 dammit!

Scala ad Caelum = Stairway to Heaven. It looks very pretty and I want to explore here more but I have a very harrowing boss battle to fight, apparently. But seriously, the blue sky and whitewashed walls on a hill by the sea is so very very Aesthetic.

Xehanort has a goat theme? It looks so creepy. But like... I wonder if this is connected to the Foretellers (all of them have animal themes)?

Okay so... Xehanort wanted to forge a x-blade so that he could control Kingdom Hearts so that he could use the world’s first light it contained within to return the world back to primordial darkness so that the world could have a do-over? ._. Also, this last-minute villain redemption seems a bit rushed but okay. Like... I still don’t get what the deal is with Eraqus and Xehanort. We’re supposed to buy that they’re childhood friends but (1) they don’t act like it in BBS (Xehanort certainly is a pretty shitty friend during BBS), and (2) Xehanort looks like 20 years older than Eraqus??? Just being real.

Old man Xehanort’s voice isn’t as exaggerated as it used to be. RIP Leonard Nimoy. ;_;

Lots of near-death moments for Sora (also, I get that Donald and Goofy are some of the most connected characters to Sora, but this last revival was so cheesy omg).

Lea’s new outfit looks great. Xion’s and Isa’s, though... yikes.

> Don’t Think Twice is playing. > Everyone is here and having a fun day at the beach. > Sora and Kairi are sitting in that tree by themselves. Aww everyone wanted to give them a moment together. > THEY’RE HOLDING HANDS. > Sora fades away leaving Kairi sitting in the tREE BY HERSEEEEELF. > Me: What THE FUCK.

That emotional whiplash, though. Going from “private moment alone with the one I love” (while a song about making an eternal vow is playing, making you think this is a culmination of their relationship!!) to “everyone is having fun and I’m all alone thinking about Sora” (while a song about making an eternal vow is playing, making this moment the most heartbreaking thing ever)!!! WHY!!! I’m crying. Even if Sora is still alive (HE IS) I CAN’T ACCEPT KAIRI BEING THERE ALONE THINKING ABOUT/WAITING FOR HIM. When will they get their happy ending? When will they get to be together?? My heart is breaking.

Okay so Xigbar was Luxu? Huh. No closure on what Maleficent and Pete were up to in this game at all, then.

Uh... what? Sora and Riku in modern Tokyo / Verum Rex world? Um...

Apparently the internet says that is specifically Shibuya from the The World Ends with You universe, suggesting a potential connection between the world where Sora and Riku are in the secret movie and the dream world in Dream Drop Distance where TWEWY characters last appeared.

... Was that card Luxord gave Sora before he died/recompleted actually useful or...

Running around trying to get all the trophies.

Oh sweet, I got a keyblade for finishing the Remy bistro minigame!! I wasn’t even expecting that!

OMG one for finishing the Classic Kingdom games too!!

Me whenever I use a summon: I don’t know wAHT IM DOING???

(Seriously, though, why are summons so complicated in this game)

And... got all the trophies for this game. Yes!

... What were those golden Herc figures for, though? Oh apparently for an optional piece of equipment.

Reading the secret reports: Who is this mystery girl? Four friends + a key + “May your heart be your guiding key” sounds strongly like Skuld. Xigbar / Luxu took her away? Or is it possible that there is a DIFFERENT group of five friends in the Dandelions: (1) Larxene/Elrena, (2) Marluxia/Lauriam, (3) Luxord’s somebody, (4) Demyx’s somebody, and (5) literally anyone else (possibly a completely new character) i.e. the person in this report. (I assume if Subject X was Larxene, Saix and Axel would have recognized her, so Subject X is not Larxene.) All five were saved from the Keyblade War and knew each other, but then ended up in the present time completely amnesiac?

Interesting Xehanort backstory... The Xehanort/Eraqus ship-teasing in this game is immense.

So it seems like summoning Kingdom Hearts allows you access to the old world pre-original Keyblade War (Age of Fairy Tales). This is why Xehanort wanted to summon Kingdom Hearts. But it looks like Luxu wanted Xehanort to summon Kingdom Hearts so that the Foretellers would be able to brought back from the Age of Fairy Tales into the present and so would the Master of Masters?

Fuck, watching the Lost Masters ending again, and Ava is missing!! Ava + four friends + key + “May your heart be your guiding key” could also mean she is the amnesiac girl. Although I don’t get the feeling the Foretellers would really describe each other as “friends”... so probably not. Also, I am very worried that the Foretellers are described as darknesses (presumably villains?), and there are seven -- the middle five are Unicorn (Ira), a heart symbol which I’m guessing is the MoM, Goat (Luxu), Snake (invi), and Leopard? (Gula). It’s blurry but the leftmost one could be a bear (Aced) and the rightmost could be a fox (Ava). I guess (given their names) this wouldn’t be all that surprising...

WIP SHAME

List all the things you’re currently working on in as much or little detail as you’d like, then tag some friends to see what they’re working on. This can be writing, art, vids, gifsets, whatever.

@insanereddragon tagged me! And I am ASHAMED. My list of WIPs is appalling.

Whatever Is, Is Good. My Big Bang fic, which is actually complete but still needs a bit of tidying up and a couple more scenes so the middle doesn't feel quite as rushed. This ridiculous thing has been so much fun, I'm excited to finally get to show it off in a couple of weeks!

Sequel to the above because 20K of Harry cuddling a tiny dog is not enough.

Ballerino. I've been putting off finishing this because I love it so much and I don't want it to be over, but there's only two or three chapters left.

Little Earthly Problems. I started writing a sequel that's really just an excuse for lots of Thank God You're Alive cuddling (banging) but it got put on hold for the KMBB. Back to it soon!

Hardwood. Silly sex shop AU. I actually don't know where I'm going with this so it's kind of abandoned... if anyone wants to continue it let me know and I'll add you as an author??

Flame Keepers. One more chapter of Harry and Merlin at school/getting recruited to Kingsman. A short Merlin/Roxy thing set the morning after Little Sparks and a longer one where they go to a fancy party at her parents' and end up in an unexpected fight with baddies there, mainly because I like writing fight scenes and want Roxy to brutally kill people while wearing a ballgown. And a short Harry and Merlin thing to end it all off because bffs forever.

The Mountain, the Forest, and the Earth. I know exactly what's going to happen in this and I'm really excited for it because it's going to be fuckin awesome (it may or may not involve Eggsy sprouting wings because why the heck not, I've already given Harry antlers). Everything else just kind of queue-jumped in front of it, but it's not abandoned.

AU of The Bodyguard I started for reel-kingsman but never finished, where Eggsy's just quit a massive boyband created on some Pop Idol type show, and Harry's hired to look after him when creepy stalky shit starts happening. Includes as many random Whitney Houston lyrics as I've been able to cram in - whoever spots them all gets a prize.

Fandom Trumps Hate fic, half finished and my main priority when the KMBB is done! AU where Merlin's a film director in the 1940s, Eggsy's the kid he discovers trying to pick his pocket like Ann Darrow and casts in some romantic swashbuckly film, and Harry is a retired silent movie star who teaches Eggsy how to act and sword fight and dance and dress (and more). It's a fairly nonsensical AU idea but WHO CARES. SWORD FIGHT LESSONS.

Bespoke kind of doesn't count because there's no real storyline or end goal, it's just a bunch of moments. But I still need to finish Resolve and a load of other half-finished things over the whole timeline, though I'm not sure how much anybody's going to care about some of them because they feature OCs pretty heavily (mainly Dylan, who's turned up in a couple of things before, and Harry's California boyfriend Ira who I think might have been mentioned somewhere? but not actually appeared yet). More Victoria OF COURSE. And something excruciatingly rude about Harry and three other guys that just makes me giggle and blush every time I open the file so I can't actually write anything more on it. And a thing about why Merlin quit as Gawain and transferred to tech. And Eggsy telling Michelle about the poly thing. So much more.

I feel like I'm forgetting something but this is terrible enough so I will stop. September deadline to get all this done!
