did Zexion himself write this lmao

Xigbar: I just pulled him over for a chat! No biggie

Zexion: I was TRAPPED in societal convention and if not for my dignity, when he touched me I would have told him to FUCK OFF and perhaps also BLUDGEONED HIM VIOLENTLY

Terra’s fate feels a lot worse after you read his short story in the KH character files, which reveals that he was sealed away in a void of “nothingness” and forced to endure psychological torture to the point where he was writhing in agony.

Poor Terra. It’s amazing that he was still able to function after enduring that for years.

THAT'S RIGHT

[verathena14]

Yo larxene? Why are u referencing smth from the Final World?

“Whoever said love and hate are two sides of the same coin is a liar.”

Doodle Page 3

Featuring a sketch of a new artistic signature, Blemish giving a shrug next to a concept for her bootleg Halo energy sword, and my rather unnerving redesign for Anti-Aqua.

WAIT. Here's a concept. Sora battles Marluxia in Re:CoM and Marluxia summons the lady-reaper-Nobody thing for the first time. The physical appearance of the creature, along with them fighting side-by-side, sparks Marluxia's memory and he recalls a vision of a girl with orange hair dressed in a white coat, and a promise he made to her about fighting together. He is just on the cusp of remembering who this mysterious girl is when Sora defeats him.

Marluxia wakes up recompleted, the vision of the girl still fresh in his mind. He doesn't know who she is exactly, only that she's somehow important to him and that he needs to know more. His search is fruitless for a while until he is later approached to join the Real Organization, and he decides to give up his humanity and become a Nobody again in the hopes that he can either summon that creature again or get assistance from Xehanort in identifying and finding the girl.

Larxene gets recompleted as well, of course, and meets up with Marluxia. When Marluxia tells her about the girl, Larxene can't shake the feeling that she knew the girl as well. Equally intrigued as Marluxia and also wanting to help Marluxia find her (she can't explain why, but it just feels right), she gives up her humanity and joins the Real Organization alongside him.

So is my birthday today and my best friend bought me the Kingdom hearts character files.

AND OH MY GOD VANITAS’ ENTRY IS SO FUCKING SAD!

His existence is just pain. It’s

Literally just a wall of negativity and self hatred that he can’t overcome. He hates Ven because he hates himself. And because he hates himself he hates the world! I am devistated.

He’s in constant physical pain! I can’t!

[didsomeonesayventus]

thinking about how way to dawn really was like the most iconic keyblade ever that so neatly summarized riku's journey and ideals and had so much meaning and history and so uniquely his and kh3 really threw it away for a fucking car key

[firestorm09890]

oh they straight up say it in the character file book huh. Castle Oblivion research facility real

but what's very bizarre about this is that Zexion doesn't show up in kh2 (it saying him becoming a Nobody is a kh2 event is normal, it says that for all the apprentices because that's the game where we learn that fact). that one cutscene where he mentions making preparations for CO is in kh2fm, which, in every other case of that cutscene appearing in this book that I've seen, is noted as being from kh2fm. probably just an oversight but it is interesting

I would say the more interesting part about it is how his page is the only one where this is mentioned but he is the only one to mention it in any game so I guess it's not that weird after all

Day 1. Introduction

WOWEE I CAN'T BELIEVE IT'S KH OC WEEK AGAIN ALREADY! This year, I'm focusing on my favorite duet of yin-yang, Faliux and Amber! I made mockups of the official Kingdom Hearts character file pages for the ladies (I used Xigbar's as a reference because I may love poking fun at him, but his page layout was gorgeous)

Please take good care of my ladies 🥹 @khoc-week

[infinitelilith]

There's Enemies-To-Lovers, Lovers-To-Enemies, Friends-To-Lovers, Friends-To-Enemies-To-Lovers, and then there's whatever the fuck these two got going on

[hadesknockedupintheunderworld]

Normal again normal again

Anyways

Are you all aware of that Soriku scene at the end of Kingdom Hearts 2?

"If the world is made of light and darkness... We'll be the darkness."

"Yeah. The other side...the realm of light is safe now."

[From Riku's Story in the KH Character Files]

[From the KH2 Light Novel]

ㅤ

What I think about a lot is that...this is the kind of thing Nine wants with Sonic.

"And yet they felt completely content to be here—because they were together."

"That's the best part of all. There's no one here! It's a clean slate—the perfect place to start over and get the world right. With the proper fortifications—and enough shard energy—it could be home! The one you lost, the one I never had. I can make that hope a reality. For both of us."

"Sonic is gonna love this place."

What is clear to me, from the way it delighted Nine to find the Grim (a place with no life) and yet excited to show Sonic, to make it his home too, is that Nine wants to be with Sonic. Whether if it was the two alone in a world of their own making, or among life they created, Nine would be content to just...be with Sonic.

And yet, even as you connect it to the Dark Margin scene from kh2, there is one major difference.

Sora and Riku were not looking to live out the rest of their days in the realm of darkness. They were trapped, and they thought there was no way out. So despite being trapped for what could be eternity, they felt content just to be there with each other. Even if they were separated from their home, their other friends, it was enough that they had each other.

But with Nine and Sonic, it isn't simply that they would be content living alone together, closed off from everyone else, if it meant that they could have each other and everyone else could be safe. Nine wants to make it like this. Sonic wants to go back home, to introduce Nine to Tails and his other friends, to go on adventures like he used to. He wants to integrate Nine and his new friends into the life he had. Nine rejects the world that hurt him, rejects everyone but Sonic. He wants to be separate, alone. He wants to create his perfect home, a better world, and such a home doesn't include anyone else but Sonic. He wants to create the kind of home that could be the one he's always wanted, that could be a new home for Sonic.

This is all to say that, Sora and Riku hadn't planned being trapped in such a place alone, just glad they could at least be together, but Nine wishes to be alone in a world of their own making with Sonic, wants Sonic to be as content at being trapped alone with him as he would be. Does that make any sense?

It just drives me crazy, okay

To want to be alone so badly, yet unable to get rid of that feeling of loneliness once you've felt true companionship. To desire home more than anything, pursuing an idea, yet not quite realizing home was always about the people with you, rather than the place. And yet, to know deep down that you can't have "home" without this person, the companion you didn't know you craved, and so you pull them into your goal. To have an almost possessive need to have this person in your life, to make a home with them away from anyone and everyone else. To want to live with them forever in a world that is both of yours.

nicole my love will you rank your top three or top five or top ten video games… whichever number you wish to gush about… i love you…

hi sunny..... oughh I have a tough time picking favorites.... I looked at this question like a homework assignment.. I did a top 10 and I put reasoning even though you did not ask for that but I'm putting it under this read more in case you want it... you don't have to read more though... but you can... i love you...

Top 10

Kingdom Hearts - Obviously of course. I don’t always even rank KH1 as my favorite KH game but basically this was my “oh games can be like that?” game. Until I played this, I mostly played simulator games and movie tie-ins and Barbie games, and I loved those but this one had a STORY I could bury myself in. I forced the friend I played this game with to sit and wait while I read through every journal entry and character file looking for MORE, because I was so immediately hooked on everything.

Kingdom Hearts Re:Chain of Memories - This one always ranks high not just because of the story, which I love, but because this was the first game I ever beat entirely by myself. A lot of people skip or can’t stand this game so I’m extra proud of myself tbh. But this is the game where one of my favorite characters became one of my favorite characters, so it’ll always have a special place.

Ōkami - I love this game so much… It’s so visually stunning, I love the unique game play, and Amaterasu is such an amazing protagonist despite the fact that she does talk outside of barking and howling and also she is literally a dog. But she’s so good. There’s a dedicated bark button, which is important. AND THERE’S FISHING!

Final Fantasy X - I’ve literally never sobbed more over a piece of media in my entire life. The game wasn’t even over yet. I had to fight a boss with tears in my eyes. This was my first FF game and oh my god. Oh my god. I can say no more.

Horizon Zero Dawn - I got so sucked into this game. It was all I could think about for months. I love the environmental storytelling and the world-building and Aloy is a female protagonist WITHOUT a love interest in this game and it’s so huge to me and ugh. UGH.,

Hades - This game is so fun… I usually don’t like games that make me feel like I’m struggling but they somehow made it such a joy to die over and over again and see what’s up in the house. The sheer amount of unique dialogue makes it impossible to get annoyed. And it’s just FUN. Full of complicated family dynamics and Greek mythology… Collectibles… WOO (also has fishing)

Harvest Moon/Story of Seasons: A Wonderful Life - This is a really sentimental add, but it’s genuinely one of my favorites. I have so many memories of me and my childhood best friend staying up until the wee hours of the morning playing this game, only to go to bed and set an alarm to get up and play it again. AWL has some of the best NPCs of all HM/SOS games, and also the cutest cows. Ever.

Final Fantasy XV - FISHING. And also stories about bonds we build… friendship… ough.. I love sitting in the back of the car and letting Ignis drive and feeling like we’re all on a friendship road trip together. Random stops for pictures and bathroom breaks included. Luna deserved better but the hours I spent fishing made up for that.

Persona 5 Strikers - It probably seems silly to put this here and not Persona 5, but I really loved Strikers so much. It had such satisfying gameplay, completely different from the source material, yet still somehow felt like such an homage to the classic movesets. It was a really good adaptation to a new genre. I loved the story and the new characters, who MADE ME CRY! and I think it’s such a shame, because a lot of Persona players skipped this one!!! Ryuji gets to say fuck. Come on, people.

The Great Ace Attorney Chronicles - I love the characters in this game so much… I miss them… I love the original AA trilogy, but this one was so much fun for me. I love Herlock Sholmes… I love him so much I forgot that his real name is not Herlock Sholmes. All the characters are so dynamic and the cases are so fun… That was a game I wished never had to end.

Special mention to Animal Crossing: Wild World, Barbie Horse Adventures Mystery Ride, Secret Agent Barbie, Ni No Kuni, God of War (2018), Gris... I love video games. Damn.
