This is another impromptu sketch I did during the freak-storm last Tuesday (13 FEB). With the background now added, it gives a vibe to the KH3 scene before the Heartless engulf Aqua and she is made to confront them which manifest into her shadowy doubts.

Summary:
"I am in the business of collecting stories. Tales of long-forgotten civilizations, folklore, and legends, even just little comments about peoples’ days—if there is something to uncover, I’m willing to find it. When I hear an interesting rumor or snippet of conversation, it’s not in my nature to ignore it.
Which is why I now find myself charting a course to a strange, uninhabited world littered with only broken swords. Something happened there, and I'm determined to find out what it was."
A collection of reports collected from the Keyblade Graveyard, written by a researcher dedicated to uncovering its history.
Can anyone point me to an explanation or discussion about how Riku's sacrifice also contributed to Sora making it to the Final World instead of dying in the Keyblade Graveyard?
I know in game it is stated Kairi saved his heart from fading away (which I am in no way disputing) but I know I read a bunch of theory a while back about how it was BOTH Riku and Kairi who saved him and for the life of me I can't find it anymore.
This Mickey Ear crater in the Keyblade Graveyard always makes me giggle. How did it get here? Did someone's magic blast make it happen? A Mickey shaped asteroid? How??? What are your secrets, Mickey War Crater
kh lovessss making the girls interesting anf giving them major potential only to push that all aside and do almost nothing with them. WE NEED A FEMINIST RETELLING OF KINGDOM HEARTS ‼️
I’ve been thinking about what could’ve happened to Ephemer after he founded Scala ad Caelum.
I honestly don’t think he lived until old age. I think he may have died relatively young or was incapacitated, maybe in battle against someone or something (Darkness?) in the Keyblade Graveyard, which would explain why his heart lingered there.
I think that his final fate will be a mystery which may be touched on in Missing Link. No one will know what actually happened to him, and we will have to piece together the truth from fragments of story that are provided to us.
I've been thinking about it for a while and I finally figured it out.
The reason why Xehanort was taken to Destiny Islands by Player is actually explained very clearly in the cutscene and I somehow overlooked it. That's because the child of destiny is supposed to be able to sense what's in the heart of others. Player brought him to Destiny Islands so he would fit into the other part of the prophecy, who said that the child of destiny should hail from Destiny Islands, but everyone knows that you can't force a prophecy. So that didn't work, and Xehanort went to a different path than the one Player hoped for.
But why did it went that way? Why did Sora became the child of destiny and not Xehanort- ignoring the fact that Xehanort- didn't fulfill perfectly the prophecy's requirements because the prophecy doesn't matter, in the end.
That's because while both can sense what's inside other's hearts, their experiences led them to focus on different things. Xehanort focused on the darkness inside people's hearts, and wished to purge it, getting himself corrupted by darkness in the process. Sora, on the other hand, always saw the light in people's hearts, and focused on it- for me, that's what made the difference.
