Note

can you explain kingdom hearts to me? it looks cool.

OHHHHH YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU'RE GETTING INTO ANON

Pausing my video to write this, will only explain KH1 right now buttttt if there's interest I'll go into the other games

Buckle up guys, gals, and nonbinary pals

SORA.

he's a silly kid with silly dreams living on a silly island. Destiny Islands! He's living on this island with a few random Final Fantasy characters but the main ones we need to talk about are Riku and Kairi. They're Sora's besties and the 3 of them are making a raft to get off their island home. Kairi (hey, that's my name!) came from another world, which we won't cover here but is important for later in the series to some extent.

Sora's got a little crush on Kairi, and Riku, Sora's friendly rival, likes to tease him for it. He talks about sharing this thing called a paopu fruit with her which will intertwine people's destinies when you share one.

So they're about to get off this island when a big storm comes. Sora, being a dumbass, goes onto their island to save the raft. He finds Riku there, shrouded in darkness. He asks Sora to come with me and Sora reaches out his hand to him but he misses and Riku vanishes. These monsters, which we'll learn are called the heartless, begin to attack him, when a keyblade forms in his hand. It's seen by this mystical weapon that chooses it's wielder, but by the end they're being handed out like candy.

Sora goes into this place called the secret place where an old man had said some cryptic shit earlier. He sees Kairi, who looks almost like a ghost. A spooky door opens and pushes Kairi forward. Sora goes to catch her but she disappears. THIS IS IMPORTANT.

MEANWHILE WHILE ATTROCITIES WERE HAPPENING DONALD AND GOOFY WERE BEING SILLY! Mickey Mouse (the king) has gone missing and told Donald and Goofy to find "the key" in Traverse Town.

Sora wakes up in traverse town, meets a few final fantasy characters, who tell him about a scientist named Ansem who was studying the heart, and run into donald and goofy. after they fight a heartless they decide to team up since Sora is the key. So Doofald and Goblin team up to find Michael Mouse and Sora looks for Riku and Kairi. I'm just gonna call them SDG because saying their full names is exhausting.

They go around disney worlds sealing keyholes which will stop the evil heartless from invading. Meanwhile Maleficent from sleeping beauty and a few other disney bad guys are plotting to kill Sora.

Half way through the game we're back in traverse town and we find Riku again! He's surprised to see Sora has some new friends, not only that but has grown in strength since they last met. Sora begins to invite him to join their group to look for Kairi, but Riku disappears. Later on we see Riku with Maleficent and learn he's working for her and ready to begin to give into the darkness.

The disney worlds don't really matter too much sadly, but just know that Sora and Riku meet up again in Monstro (the whale from Pinocchio) and on Captain Hooks ship. The important part about the ship is that we learn that Riku has found Kairi and that he's giving into the darkness. They allude to a place called Hollow Bastion where the evil plan will be fulfilled.

So SDG go there to save Kairi and maybe find the king. Beast from Beauty and The Beast shows up there too, he's looking for Belle. Riku and Sora have a confrontation, where Riku steals Sora's keyblade. And because doofus and geodude follow the key, they go with Riku.

Sora and Beast go through the castle until they find Riku again and fight him, Sora taking back his keyblade with the iconic "my friends are my power" line, and dubious and Gregory return to Sora's side.

Riku, beaten up after their encounter, finally gives into the darkness. Remember the hoodied man from the cave? his name is ansem, seeker of darkness, and he's now taking control of Riku. we learn of ansems plan to summon kingdom hearts (hey that's the name of the game!) and bring the darkness into the heart of all worlds, which is what kingdom hearts is (it's also sometimes a heart shaped moon, it's weird idk). and he needs the 7 princesses of heart to do this. riku ansem and sora fight, sora wins. riku ansem tells him that he needs one more heart to complete his plan, Kairi's.

and ya know where kairi is?

"Kairi... Kairi's inside me?"

SHE'S IN SORA'S HEART. When she disappeared her heart resided in Sora's to be kept safe

YKNOW WHAT SORA NEEDS TO DO TO GET KAIRI OUT OF HIS HEART???

HE'S GOTTA FUCKING STAB HIMSELF.

oh yeah maleficent is dead now btw she died earlier i just didn't know where to mention it.

So he does that and becomes a heartless, saving Kairi. they all then get attacked by heartless, but kairi knows sora is one of them and gives him a hug, saving him.

they all go back to traverse town and kairi gives sora her lucky charm. he heads back to hollow bastion for the final fight. they go to a destroyed destiny islands and fight, first fighting regular ansem then the world of chaos (ansem in boat form). after both those fights, ansem opens kingdom hearts, convinced it's full of darkness. but sora tells him it's light, and it is. Ansem gets the worst migraine imaginable and dies (for now...)

SDG go to the door and begin to close it, with riku, who isn't possessed now, on the other side. they need to close it from both sides, and MICHAEL FUCKING MOUSE has his own keyblade to close it on their side, while Sora uses his to close it from his. Riku tells Sora to take care of Kairi, before disappearing.

Kairi stands on the shores of destiny islands, far away from Sora. he reaches out for her hand as they drift apart, making a vow to find each other.

WHEN YOU WALK AWAY YOU DON'T HEAR ME SAY PLEASEEEEEEE OH BABYYYYYY DON'T GO SIMPLE AND CLEAN IS THE WAY THAT YOU'RE MAKING ME FEELLLLLLL TONIGHTTTTT IT'S HARDDDDD TO LET IT GO

if you're one of my SAF followers, yes I used that song for a curtwen edit.

SDG find themselves on a dirt path, now setting off on a new misison to find Mickey and Riku

#kingdom hearts #sora kh #riku kh #kairi kh #kingdom hearts 1 #ansem seeker of darkness #kh #i hope this was good enough #it took a while

Kingdom Hearts II: Final Mix Recap: Beast's Castle (Beauty and the Beast)

We open on Belle in her room, wearing the iconic yellow ballgown as she hums a tune I don’t recognize.

“I hope tonight goes well,” the Wardrobe notes.

“So do I,” Belle replies, “But I wonder why he’s so nervous.”

“The master does have his shy side, you know,” the Wardrobe points out.

Meanwhile, in the Entrance Hall, the Beast is in his iconic blue suit, pacing nervously.

While there is voice acting for the Beast nervously growling…

“Hey there!” a VA-less textbox reads.

The Beast turns to see Sora, Donald, and Goofy walk up.

Donald looks around.

“No Heartless and no Nobodies!” he declares.

“I think they’re close, though…” Goofy remarks.

“Better watch out!” Sora cautions as he folds his hands behind his head.

Beast turns towards the stairs.

In order to continue the story, you must use the “Approach” Reaction Command.

Donald asks what Beast is so mad about.

Beast just wants to know what SDG are doing here.

Sora explains that they’re looking for a way into the Nobodies’ world.

Beast’s just turns his back and “hmphs” in response.

This leads into a fully voice acted cutscene.

Belle descends the stairway.

“Tonight is very important,” Beast explains to SDG, before ascending the stairs to meet Belle in front of the ballroom.

The two link arms and step into the ballroom.

“Uh, maybe we came at a bad time,” Goofy remarks.

“Well, there’s only one way to find out,” Donald replies, before rushing up the stairs.

“Donald!” Sora calls after him, before he and Goofy give chase.

Cut to the ballroom, the camera zooms up to the ceiling, dives through the chandelier, and sweeps over the ballroom to zoom in on Belle and the Beast.

“Now then, Monsieur, Mademoiselle,” Lumiere opens as he stands alongside Cogsworth, Mrs. Potts, and Chip (not the chipmunk), “Please, enjoy the evening.”

They then notice SDG, Goofy awkwardly waving while Donald folds his hands behind the back of his head.

“And of course, our honored guests are welcome, too,” Lumiere adds.

“A welcome indeed,” Xaldin remarks.

Beast and Belle embrace in fright.

Sora dashes into the middle of the ballroom and looks around, before finding the Nobody in question looking down on the ballroom from the upper level.

“The Organization!” Sora declares.

“You don’t know when to quit,” Xaldin remarks.

“Oh yeah!” Donald replies, “We’ll show you!”

Beast glares at Xaldin.

“Get out!” he roars as he lets go of Belle to run at him.

“Not tonight!” Belle… “Grumbles” doesn’t feel like the right word, but she says that upsettedly.

Xaldin snaps his fingers, and three never-before-seen Nobodies drop in from Corridors of Darkness.

Beast swats them away, but there are two Dusks and three more of the new Nobodies already surrounding him, Sora, Donald, and Goofy.

“I’ve come to take something you hold very dear,” Xaldin announces.

Beast roars in response.

“Yes,” Xaldin remarks as he disappears into a Corridor of Darkness, “Let your anger grow…”

“Beast! We’ve got to get rid of these guys first!” Sora reminds him.

Beast is in his party (wearing his regular outfit, rather than the fancy suit), and you’re given a chance to toggle your party as needed before officially starting the battle.

As implied by the never-before-seen Nobodies, new Nobodies are introduced here: Dragoons.

Dragoons wear dragon-headed hoods (which makes it look as though they have faces on their necks), wings sprouting from their backs, and they also wield lances.

They primarily attack with their lances, occasionally jumping and diving down like a Final Fantasy Dragoon, and a couple of their attacks leave behind white orbs.

These white orbs give the “Learn” Reaction Command, which turns “Attack” into “Jump”.

Jump leads to Sora copying the signature move of the dragoons of Final Fantasy fame, leaping into the air and diving down onto his target, Keyblade first.

You can use Learn to stack up to 10 Jumps. Once you run out of Jumps, “Jump” reverts back to “Attack”.

Very rarely, they’ll drop a “Nobody Lance”, a Staff for Donald. It gives +5 Strength, +5 Magic, and Item Boost.

After the battle, another textbox cutscene:

“Where’s Belle!?” Sora asks.

“Over here!” Belle answers.

She walks in from the balcony, with Lumiere, Mrs. Potts, Chip, and Cogsworth following closely behind her.

“Whew, she’s okay,” Sora notes.

“Guess Xaldin didn’t take anything after all,” Goofy notes.

The Beast visibly gasps and runs out of the room.

“What’s wrong?” Sora asks.

Belle rushes after him.

“Belle?” Sora questions, “What’s with them?”

“Maybe Belle isn’t the only thing precious to the Beast,” Goofy suggests.

“C’mon!” Donald invites.

Beast has left the party.

In order to progress the story, you need to go to the Beast’s Room.

The Beast is pacing angrily. He roars and slams the ground.

“What’s wrong?” Belle asks.

Beast growls and seethes.

“Please, calm down!” Belle begs.

The Beast swipes through the air to shove his cape out of the way, unknowingly swiping close to Belle’s face.

“Calm down?” he snaps, “You just had to have a party, didn’t you? Do you see what’s happened?”

“Hey,” Sora interjects, “What’s with you?”

“The rose…” Beast answers, “My rose…”

The camera cuts over to where the Enchanted Rose once was, only for the rose itself to be gone.

“What, that?” Sora asks, “He took it?”

“But surely, you can find another rose…” Belle replies.

“Silence!” Beast snaps as he swipes through the air (his claws coming pretty close to Sora’s chest), “You don’t know anything!”

Sora jumps between Beast and Belle.

“That’s not fair, Beast,” Sora scolds, “Don’t take it out on Belle! It’s not like she stole it!”

Beast growls and covers his eyes.

“I’m sorry,” Belle replies.

“You don’t have to apologize,” Sora insists.

Beast averts his eyes.

“Belle… Sora…” he opens, much calmer than earlier, “I want you to leave the castle.”

Belle is visibly shocked at that order.

“Look at me. Look,” Beast continues, “This is what I am.

“When you first got here, I tried to change.

“But I was only fooling myself. I can’t be any different.

“I’ll always be a beast. So, I should live like a beast.

“With no one, alone.

“Good-bye, Belle.”

“You can’t mean that…” Belle protests.

Beast tries to meet her gaze, but can’t bring himself too.

“Aw, I think his mind’s all made up,” Goofy whispers into Sora’s ear.

“Yeah,” Sora acknowledges, before turning to Belle, “Look Belle. Leave this to us.

“If we can get the Beast’s rose back, he’ll calm down.”

Belle shoots a sad look over her shoulder, before walking out.

Out in the West Wing, we see Mrs. Potts, Cogsworth, and Lumiere.

“Poor child,” Mrs. Potts remarks.

Belle walks up to the trio, waves, and continues on her way.

“How could it come to this?” Cogsworth wonders.

“And they were so looking forward to this evening…” Lumiere remarks.

“Now, now – no need to be so sad,” Mrs. Potts assures, “Once the rose is back safely, this will all be over.”

Sora asks what’s so special about the rose, and the others explain the extra details for the curse.

Namely, the fact that the Beast has until the last petal falls to love and be loved in return.

As such, the Beast has had to take good care of the rose, and it became a cherished part of his day-to-day life. It’s the embodiment of all his hopes and dreams. As long as that rose is alive, there’s hope that he can regain his humanity.

Sora is now even MORE determined to help the Beast get it back, but also acknowledges that they can’t get it back without the Beast.

“If it’s that important to him, he has to do it himself.”

If you go back into the Beast’s Room, you’ll notice something in the back right corner.

An Absent Silhouette, this one depicting a scythe.

When passing through this one, Sora is transported to a smaller version of the Station to Oblivion, where he fought the Specter.

Petals swirl around the Absent Silhouette until it transforms into Marluxia.

At the start of the battle, Marluxia teleports to Sora’s side and whispers something into his ear.

A number equal to Sora’s current level materializes over his head.

Marluxia has just cast Doom on Sora.

Now, every time Sora is hit, in addition to his HP decreasing, the number above his head will drop by one.

If it drops to zero, Sora will be instantly killed.

Making matters worse, Marluxia has some attacks which will ONLY lead into combos if they hit Sora, meaning that even if you have abilities that’ll keep Sora alive at 1 HP, he can STILL get instakilled by Doom.

Marluxia attacks with his scythe, but can also generate thorny vines, sink into the ground and spin his scythe like a buzzsaw blade to strike Sora, and also create red circles that will produce danger zones that damage anyone standing in them when their insides turn black.

Marluxia’s most powerful attack has him float behind Sora while the lights are dim, firing off fifteen petal geysers consecutively (forcing Sora to keep moving) and then throwing his scythe at Sora as the finishing blow.

Whenever Marluxia rests, Sora can run up to him to use one of two Reaction Commands:

Aerial Strike: Prompted when Sora runs up to Marluxia while he’s resting. Sora attacks Marluxia three times and knocks him back, acting as a finisher.

Restore Count: Prompted when Sora approaches Marluxia’s scythe while he’s resting. Sora steals it, slashes Marluxia with it, knocks him back, and then throws the scythe at Marluxia. This deals no damage to Marluxia, but raises the Doom Counter by 13, allowing Sora to absorb more hits before he’s insta-killed.

When Marluxia is defeated, he reverts back to his Absent Silhouette, which fades into pink petals.

Defeating Marluxia’s Absent Silhouette rewards Sora with +1 Drive Gauge, Donald with +3 Max HP, and Goofy with +3 Max HP. He also leaves behind another “Lost Illusion” synthesis material, and the “Eternal Blossom”, another synthesis recipe.

This allows Sora to synthesize the Full Bloom, an accessory that gives +3 strength and +10 AP. (The upgraded version gives MP haste as well.)

Using the “Persuade” Reaction Command on the Beast continues the story.

“Hey, Beast,” Sora greets.

The Beast groans.

“Leave me alone,” he mopes.

“C’mon, you need to hear this,” Sora continues, “You used to be fearless. You would have given your life to save Belle. Don’t you know what that meant to us? You gave us all courage.

“Hmph, maybe you should have kept some for yourself.

“I mean, are you really gonna throw your happiness away?

“The rose is your only hope, isn’t it? Well, it’s the only hope for Cogsworth and the others, too.

“So, don’t throw away your last chance. Remember what it was like before Belle lived here?”

The Beast looks up, his face hardening into a more determined expression.

“See?” Sora continues, “You can’t give up. Not now.”

“I know one thing,” Beast replies.

“What?” Sora asks.

“This castle belongs to me!” Beast answers as he turns to face Sora, “Xaldin will NEVER be welcome here.”

And it would appear as though I was wrong about Circle of Life being the only mid-Disney world Keyblade, because this rewards Sora with Rumbling Rose.

Rumbling Rose grants +5 Attack, +0 Magic, and Finishing Plus (allows the user to unleash an additional combo finisher after landing a combo finisher).

Reminder: humanoid bosses in this game have Revenge Values which are triggered every few Finishers. Think VERY carefully about what fights you take this Keyblade into.

You also get the Castle Walls Map, granting access to your minimap in the area surrounding the Castle.

Beast rejoins the party.

In order to progress the story, you need to go to the Entrance Hall.

“So Beast… You came after all.” Xaldin comments as he holds the rose, standing atop a windowsill above the doors to the ballroom, “You had me worried. I was afraid you’d given up for good.”

The Beast looks up at Xaldin and growls at his nemesis.

“What do you guys really want?” Sora shouts.

“… Kingdom Hearts,” Xaldin answers.

That shocks Sora.

Xaldin FINALLY lowers his hood, revealing a head covered in black hair, with dreadlocks coming out of both the top of his head AND his sideburns.

“When Kingdom Hearts is ours, we can exist fully and completely.”

Donald lets out a confused quack as he shares a glance with Goofy.

“So you see, Beast – that’s why we need your Heartless AND your Nobody!”

Cue Nobody swarm as “Desire for All That is Lost” plays.

When the last Nobody falls, Xaldin gracefully lands in front of the doors leading out to the courtyard, smirks at the Beast, then waltzes right on out with the rose, closing the door behind him.

I suggest you save before following him.

Sora, Donald, Goofy, and the Beast fan out to look for Xaldin as soon as you exit the castle.

Goofy notices Belle moping up on her balcony, back in her casualwear.

She notices Goofy motioning at her to hide and, remembering that Beast ordered her to leave (even if he seems to have calmed down enough to work with Sora and the others) decides to go back into her room, only to find the rose is also with her on the balcony.

She grins, picks it up and calls down to the others to reveal that she found the rose.

The second Beast notices, Xaldin clamps a hand over Belle’s mouth.

“Belle!” the Beast cries out in horror.

Xaldin, having everything he needs for his plan, leaps from Belle’s balcony and over the walls outside the castle in a single bounc.

The Beast, tired of Xaldin’s game chases after them, SHOVES his way through the siege gates (meant to stand up to BATTERING RAMS) with his shoulder, allowing the party to chase Xaldin out onto the Bridge.

“You!” the Beast growls at Xaldin, “Get out of my castle, now!”

“With pleasure,” Xaldin replies, holding the rose with one arm and Belle with the other, “but I’d rather travel light…

“What shall I leave behind?

“Belle?

“Or the rose?”

The Beast growls and sees the fear on Belle’s face.

“Belle!” he answers, charging at Xaldin in case this is another trick.

Belle, equally sick of Xaldin meddling in her love life, elbows him in the gut, grabs the rose, and runs right past the Beast, Sora, Donald, and Goofy with an audacious grin on her face so it won’t be damaged in the coming brawl.

“Good one, Belle!” Sora cheers.

With Belle safely out of the way, the Beast charges Xaldin and attempts to gore him with a slash of his claws.

Xaldin leaps out of the way, landing further down the bridge.

With a sweep of his arms, he conjures six tornados around himself, and transforms the whirlwinds into lances.

The lances shoot up into the air.

He grabs one into his right hand, two into his left, and lets the remaining three hover in the breeze around him.

Xaldin attacks primarily with thrusts of his lances, Dragoon Jumps, and blasts of wind.

He can shoot a slow-moving ball of air that homes in on Sora.

Very rarely, he can also combine his lances into a draconic mecha, ride atop its head, and fire a sweeping whirlwind beam across the bridge.

However, some of his attacks will give the “Learn” Reaction Command, allowing Sora to stock up “Jumps” to hit Xaldin with.

Be warned, he is invincible while riding his lances.

Additionally, this is another battle the King can save Sora from.

This is by far one of the hardest boss fights in the whole game, so if ANY boss battle will prompt multiple Mickey Mouse rescues, it’ll be this one.

You can also SPAM Learn in this battle for as long as it’s up, and uses MULTIPLE Jumps if necessary. Jump can even be used to dodge Xaldin’s attacks and damage him in turn.

Be warned, he has access to KH1’s version of Aeroga, meaning he can wrap himself in a barrier of pure wind that deals damage on impact.

Defeating Xaldin earns Sora +5 Max HP and a Reflect Element (upgrading “Reflect” into “Reflera”), Donald Auto Healing (heals party members when they are not an active member of the user’s party), Goofy +4 Max HP, and Beast +25 Max HP.

Xaldin’s six lances all stab into the ground in a circle around him and glow as each one evaporates into a beam of light.

Xaldin can only scream as he fades from existence, vanishing into a gust of wind.

Secret Ansem Report 4:

The distant days spent in that beautiful paradise are an illusion to me now.

How long have I been here, banished to the realm of nothingness?

It is only by relying upon my anger and hatred that I have been able to retain my sense of self here where all existence is nullified.

My heart is being overcome with hatred toward my apprentices, possessed by the darkness, and with the anger I feel for stupidly allowing myself to be betrayed.

Is this darkness, eating away at my heart?

I cannot continue to idle away my time here.

What are Xehanort and the others attempting to do?

I must unravel the mystery of these Ansem’s Reports, intercept my apprentices, and defeat them.

That is my mission…the only way to repay the world for my sins.

Those beings who lack hearts—the Heartless—must be the key.

The darkness of the heart, made flesh. Cursed shadows who not only lack hearts, but multiply by seizing hearts from any and all living things.

Where have they come from, and where are they going?

Three elements combine to create a life: a heart, a soul, and a body.

But what of the soul and body left behind when the heart is lost?

When the soul leaves the body, its vessel, life gives way to death, but what about when the heart leaves?

A being does not perish when its heart leaves its body. The heart alone disappears into the darkness.

There is little time.

If I remain in this realm much longer, I will certainly learn these answers the hard way.

My heart is already a captive of the darkness.

Back in the courtyard, Belle returns the rose to the Beast as Sora, Donald, Goofy, Lumiere, Cogsworth, Mrs. Potts, and Chip look on.

“Here, it’s yours again,” Belle says as she hands it over.

“Belle…” Beast opens.

“I know,” Belle interrupts, “You want me to leave the castle.”

The Beast grunts as the others look on with worried expressions.

“What matters is… You weren’t hurt by Xaldin…” he explains, “You’re safe.”

The others silently urge him to keep talking.

“And… I’m grateful to you…” Beast continues, “for bringing the rose back to me.

“Thank you.”

Belle giggles.

“It’s the least I could do,” she replies, Beast having placed the rose back on the ground and out of the way while it was out of frame, “You’ve been good to me. And you didn’t have to be.”

“Listen, Belle…” Beast opens.

“Yes?” Belle replies.

The Beast awkwardly tries to articulate his response, and then shoots a glance over at the others for guidance.

“Say it!” Sora tells him.

“Go on!” Lumiere adds.

“C’mon!” Donald urges.

“You can do it!” Mrs. Potts encourages.

“We have confidence!” Cogsworth throws in.

“Don’t be bashful, now,” Goofy instructs.

Beast steels his nerves.

“Belle, I’d like you to stay… With me… Please?”

Belle’s face brightens up even more.

She offers her hand, Beast takes it.

“I will.”

The Beast smiles that big, goofy grin that should not be as endearing as it is with all those razor-sharp teeth, but he just looks adorable.

“Maestro – music!” Lumiere calls out.

Belle and the Beast finally get to share that dance as an instrumental version of “Beauty and the Beast” plays. They might not be wearing their iconic outfits from the dance scene, they might not be in the courtyard instead of the ballroom, but they’ve earned this moment.

“Hey, did you see that look on Belle’s face when she grabbed that rose?” Sora asks, his hands folded behind his head as he watches his friends dance.

“Huh?” Donald quacks.

“Yep,” Goofy answers, “she sure was havin’ fun, all right.”

“She is rather unique, isn’t she?” Lumiere remarks.

“Always ready for a little adventure,” Mrs. Potts adds.

“The two of them do seem made for each other,” Cogsworth comments.

“Yeah, they sure do,” Sora agrees.

The camera zooms out from the Beast and Belle as the instrumental fades out.

Beast’s Castle’s story is finally complete.

Back on the world map, Olympus Coliseum finally reappears.

“Hey everybody!” Chip alerts SDG, “I’m picking up a strange reading.”

“Are you sure?” Dale asks, “Let me see!”

“Look – it’s all cloudy and kinda fuzzy,” Chip explains.

“Prob’ly just a glitch,” Dale remarks.

“I don’t know…” Chip comments.

If you fly up to the top of the World Map, past Twilight Town, something is starting to materialize there.

I NEED more batb stories where Belle throws hands with someone tbh. (if we’re not doing a KH crossover, I highly suggest the Enchantress).

Brazilian artist’s mural ‘for the planet’ proves big draw for UN General Assembly

World leaders arriving at UN Headquarters for next week’s High Level General Assembly meetings, will be greeted by a powerful and striking new mural from renowned Brazilian artist Eduardo Kobra, focusing attention on climate change and stewardship of the planet.

Spreading along the First Avenue entrance just above New York’s iconic 42nd Street, and rising above the national flags of the world which stretch uptown, the panel covers some 350 square metres, and is due to be officially launched on Friday.

The artist, who has more than 20 other works on display around the city, told UN News that it celebrates sustainability – a central theme of the debates to come next week, as the UN accelerates action towards meeting the 2030 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

UN Headquarters this year, also displayed work from the artist celebrating the bicentennial of Brazil’s independence.

Describing his new work which has been turning heads (and blazing a trial across social media) all week, as the huge canvas nears completion, he said the themes were universal, and urgent.

“The message is about the planet we hand over to our next generations. How are we taking care of our planet? Because the future is now. The future has already begun, and we are all responsible for it.”

Day Thirteen

So, the math teacher next door, Mr. F, acquired a mini-me when Mr. Z joined the faculty last year. I’m saying, it’s eerie how much they look and act alike. So, obviously, for today’s spirit day- dynamic duos- they wore the same outfits (red shorts, plaid shirts, orange hats- it’s kind of their iconic look). And Mrs. R and I decided to dress up as them, so we wore the same thing. The Principal said we “won” this spirit day. We certainly amused ourselves and our students. Ms. A, who has to deal with Mr. F and Mr. Z in PLC on Thursday mornings, took one look at us, shook her head, and walked away. Heh.

Some of the other excellent duos: Lilo and Stitch, Coke and Pepsi, ketchup and mustard, Pooh and Tigger, Brady and Gronk. And some folks who couldn’t find another person to dress up with them got creative on their own, Like, one of my ninth grade boys dressed as Luke Skywalker and had a Yoda doll perched on his desk. That was pretty excellent.

The students have been discovering that I’m a Star Wars fan. The convo I had with “Luke Skywalker” today clued them in, and a few have spotted the stuffed porg on top of my cabinet (sidenote: my default response when they ask me why there’s a porg on top of my cabinet is “Why wouldn’t there be?”). Soon they will learn I am, in fact, a Jedi Master. Heh.

Anyways.

The teaching was good today! I mean, there was a test in GOV, so I didn’t really teach a lot, but the homework is to read the Articles of Confederation, so I fielded a few questions about that after students were finished with their tests. And I showed off my lights peed grading by returning the tests before the block was over (it’s a short test- other ones will take me a day). Some students crushed, some did not, and it was an opportunity for me to talk about how studying effectively for tests in AP classes might be different than it is for their other classes. In GOV, there are a lot of very precise terms, processes, and so on that students have to be able to recall quickly, and for some of them it’s a challenge. I’m encouraging them to meet with me, figure out some strategies, and do a retake if that’s the case.

Meantime, my World students continued to explore the SDGs and do some related research. I had them pick a goal to read about in detail, asked them what they thought of the targets, and then had them find out where countries stand- like, if they chose the goal “no poverty,” I had them find out which countries in the world are the richest and poorest, and which currently have the most rapid poverty reduction. It’s a quick assignment- and one that allows for more research and citation practice- but it sparked students’ curiosity. Some of them called me over so they could ask questions, some looked up more information on their own (to identify where various countries are, find out how rapid improvements are occurring, etc, etc...) So that was pretty cool.

I really like the vibe in both my sections of World right now. Block 2 is huge (22 kids, two paras, and me), and I definitely have to project my voice to teach it, but it’s a lot of fun. I have some really eager learners in that section, as well as a few who find the course content or the strict structure of high school (or both) really challenging. So far they’ve been willing to trust me and at least try to do whatever I’m asking, though. Today I even made progress with the one I mentioned yesterday. Block 3 is a smaller class, but it’s no less lively. That’s my hands up all the time class. They have so many great questions and comments. I’m sure both sections will have rocky patches- it happens- but, so far, things are going really well!

Travel Umroh Terbaik di Jakarta Alhijaz Indowisata ✓Predikat Akreditasi "A" ✓SISKOPATUH ❤️ Berpengalaman sejak tahun 2000 PT. ALHIJAZ INDOWISATA ; Nama Direktur · Alamat kantor · Akreditasi ; : ACHMAD · : GRAHA ALHIJAZ LT. 3 JL. DEWI SARTIKA NO. 239 A RT/RW. 010/004 KEL. CAWANG

Pertama kali umroh dan memilih Alhijaz. Kebetulan berangkat di Februari 2023 lalu. Tau Alhijaz dari googling d internet, krn nyari2 travel yg terpercaya itu susah banget, takut kena tipu dll. Akhirnya liat di Instagram, ternyata testimoni org bagus2 dan rekomended. Akhirnya ngehubungin Alhijaz, nanya2 dlu paketnya apa saja dan biaya nya berapa. Marketingnya ramah bgt, terbuka dgn apa saja pertanyaan2 qta. Mau WA jam berapa saja, sll dibalas. Masyaallah. Selama perjalanan 11 hari PP, sangat menyenangkan.

Pertama, Tourleader yg Masyaallah baiknya, sangat deket dengan para jamaah smua. Klo ada apa2 qta selalu dtungguin dan ditemenin. Alhamdulillah sekamar dengan Tourleadernya, karena kebetulan sy berangkat sendiri. Kita dibimbing dan dikasihtau ttg bagaimana suasana disana dan selalu ngajakin ibadah bareng2.

Kedua, jemaah dan temen2 yg menyenangkan, happy, jd spt keluarga.

Ketiga, hotel yg dekat dgn masjid. Oya Alhijaz ini ga prnh downgrade hotel spt travel2 lain. Klo ga dpt hotel yg ditetapkan sblmnya (karena hotel di mekkah madinah itu sll full), pasti akan digantikan dgn hotel yg setara. Dan makanan hotel yg insyaallah cocok dgn lidah qta org Indonesia.

Keempat, Muthowif yg sangat sangat humbel, banyak menceritakan kisah2 inspiratif d dalam bis ketika dlm perjalanan. Dan menceritakan ttg kota yg sdg qta kunjungi tsb.

Kelima, mempunyai bis Alhijaz sendiri selama kita di Madinah dan Mekkah

Keenam, tourguide yang sangat membantu dan informatif ketika kita berkunjung k tempat2 wisata atau icon kota tsb.

Ketujuh, Ini travel rekomended bagi yg mau umroh atau haji. Mendapatkan peringkat 1 di indonesia paling banyak memberangkatkan jamaah haji. Masyaallah tabarakallah.

Kedelapan, karena sangat menyenangkan umroh bersama Alhijaz, sy rekomendasikan k keluarga sy yg mau brgkt umroh jg. Akhirnya Ibu dan 2 org adek saya akan berangkat umroh jg pd bulan Mei ini bersama Alhijaz. Masyaaallah allahuakbar.

Semoga Alhijaz semakin terpercaya, semakin sukses, dengan layanan yg sudah sangat baik, semoga semakin baik lagi k depannya. Dan mudah2an ada rute baru yaitu k Aqso, biar bisa balik umroh lg dengan Alhijaz.

Sementara bintang 4 dulu karna baru pendaftaran dan DP, so far pelayanan sangat baik dan nyaman, tempat juta strategis pinggir jalan, untuk pendaftaran ada di lantai 3 lgsg naik lift dari bawah. Setelah selesai di lantai 1 lgsg diberikan perlengkapan untuk umroh seperti gambar ada yg belum juga nanti nyusul. Sayangnya kenapa baju nya berupa kain dan harus dijahit, harusnya untk kenyamanan ya berikan baju sesuai ukuran saja s/m/l/XL gitu, gapapa bayar lebih daripada harus jahit repot juga kami. Ini sih mines nya dari travel ini. Lainnya oke. Nanti diupdate lagi setelah mengikuti serangkaian umroh nya dengan Alhijaz

Umroh kali ini benar2 special kami brkt ber5 setelah menunggu 2 thn krn pandemi, di Alhijaz kami tetap terdaftar tidak ada yang hangus sedikitpun. Umroh dengan Alhijaz sangat berkesan krn itinerarynya berbeda dengan umroh saya sebelumnya. Saya ikut yang plus ke Dubai sangat berkesan dan harganya juga terjangkau untuk umroh plus dengan Airlines sekelas Emirate. Yang sangat membuat saya puas adalah kami bisa umroh di hari Jum'at…Masya Allah…dan Alhijaz memberikan kesempatan untuk umroh yang ke2 (free) sehingga kami bisa membadalkan umroh utk orang yang telah mendahului kami. Untuk penginapan juga tidak terlalu jauh mudah diakses. Oh ya..ketika menunggu waktu pulang yang masih lama (pagi hari) sementara kami sudah check out h-1 sore..kami di berikan kesempatan untuk mengunjungi museum di jeddah dan ini free diluar dari program. Masya Allah..Alhamdulillah..trmksh Alhijaz bener2 berkesan banget sampai susah move on sesampainya di Jakarta. Insya Allah kalau ada rezeki lagi tetap mau dengan Alhijaz Tour and Travel..dimana karyawannya ramah banget dan mau membantu
