Looking for Sora in Shibuya… 🌃

Y’all should really read the KH novels because Kanemaki does a really fun thing where she takes a bunch of important scenes and gives the POV to other characters to expand on their perspectives.

Like Vanitas and Ven merging being from Vani’s POV.

We see the race between Sora and Riku in KH1 from Riku’s POV and learn that he was super bitter about losing to Sora. And really possessive of Kairi tbh. KH1 Riku is Not a Good Guy (which is a given ig considering he flooded their world with darkness and went idc lol)

The Days novels have a TON of Xion POV sections and they’re all like.. so sad. There’s a bunch of sections with Riku and Naminé POVs where they think about Xion and Roxas. After Xion died, Roxas apparently kept repeating Xion’s name over and over and over in his head, trying to hold onto it.

The KH3 novels were also fun because each of the New Org got their own POV section, too (not the benched ones tho sorry Vexen and Demyx fans). Lauriam and Vanitas’s sections were obviously my fav….

This is literally my favorite part of the BBS novel it’s everything to me. The part where Vanitas fights Ven and then finally merges with him. I think about it every single day.

Ventus—you’ve certainly come back stronger from your journey haven’t you? Or maybe I should call you Ven now?

Vanitas smirked slightly underneath his mask as he scanned Ven’s face.

He could sense Ven’s heart each time their Keyblades met.

It made him kinda happy—why was that? After all, he despised Ven’s open heart.

Whereas Ven’s worries and suffering were proof of his growth, his proclivity toward the light, Vanitas’s own misery was merely a pitch-black morass that brought him nothing but pain.

We’re so different, but I could feel you every step of the way. I bet you didn’t notice me at all.

What does this battle between us mean to you?

You probably don’t have a clue that it means our hearts are intertwining. The fight itself doesn’t matter. What’s important is that our struggle makes us feel the same things.

You hate me for trying to hurt your friends, right?

And I hate you right back for having friends at all.

“This ends now!” Ventus shouting as he hammered Vanitas with a devastating strike.

Vanitas’s knees hit the dirt, and he felt his mask coming off. Never thought I’d end up showing you my face. Why do we look different, anyhow?

With that, Vanitas began to laugh.

“You’ve done it, Ventus. Now that my body is about to perish, you and I will have to join together!”

Finally, I’ll be free of this pain.

“The χ-blade will be forged!”

Pure darkness spread from Vanitas’ body, and from within it spilled out Unversed that clung to Ventus.

“The Unversed...come from you?” Ven shouted as they held him still.

“It happened when you and I were split into two. The negativity took shape as these monsters. They are what I feel—a horde of fledging emotions under my control.”

Hate, sadness, fear, jealousy, panic, suffering, envy, anxiety, pain, despair.

I embrace them all.

Y’know, I may not have friends the way Ventus does, but I forgot about all of you. You were always with me, from the moment I was born.

“I released them in all the worlds I could, hoping to lure you away from home and isolate you from your Master. We needed to make you stronger. The Unversed were the perfect opponents. And better yet, no matter how many times you defeat them, their negativity flows right back into me.”

Now, come back to me.

Let us become the very world itself.

The Unversed transformed into an ebony stream that poured into Vanitas.

“You never stood a chance against us, Ventus.”

Vanitas sauntered toward the boy and touched his cheek. The moment he did, a dreadful wind and brilliant luminescence engulfed their bodies.

“Welcome back, Vanitas—and Ventus.”

“I’m home, Ventus—and Vanitas.”

“We will never be apart again.”

Then, as their forms became one, light shot toward the heavens.

" i revolt you, don't i? " to be a mirror of the other half he's sought for so desperately. flesh one and the same with ventus. even beneath the hood he's placed over his head, roxas knows that vanitas knows the truth. just another copy of that light half. / from one of your sentence prompts! i wanted to add a small setting tho ùwú a lil pre-established

ASK OBTAINED!

Vanitas watches as Roxas unloads, his shoulders hanging loose at his sides in what seems to be nonchalance. It's impossible to tell what kind of expression he might be making behind that black void of a helmet. All it does is reflect Roxas's pain back at himself.

And boy, can Vanitas feel that pain. It's thousands of angry shards of glass, broken inward and piercing his own heart just as much as it cuts those who might try to touch him. It's almost interesting to Vanitas—how Roxas's expression can look so similar, but his emotions still feel so different.

Ventus's anger was bright; it was for his friends—it glowed with a righteous light that threatened to incinerate his enemies. Ventus was a forest fire that promised regrowth and renewal after the blaze. And Roxas was broken glass from a house of mirrors.

His lips curl up beneath his helmet. Vanitas leans forward, grasping Roxas's shoulder and leaning in close to the blond's ear.

"It revolts me that you think I care about this enough to be bothered in the first place, oh brother of mine." A small laugh leaves Vanitas after he speaks, as if his words had been a funny joke. After all, Vanitas also wears a face that doesn't belong to him.

Roxas is another one trapped in the tangled web that has spread from Sora's heart. Vanitas has been ensnared in it since the day he was born, since the day Sora filled in the space that Vanitas had been occupying.

"I don't care about Ventus's body. It's his heart, and yours is nothing like his."

you don't need morals, you need someone like you who can understand

"You look like you could use a M&M Chicken Pot pie."

Ask Obtained!

“What…?” Vanitas trailed off, staring at her with a mix of confusion and horror. M&M’s… he’d been out of the Graveyard long enough to know what those were. The thought of that cloying, thick taste spreading over his tongue mixed with the savoriness of a meat dish—

He felt sick just thinking about it, his disgust mounting as he shook his head.

“Why would you even suggest that? Are you trying to poison me?”

how are you ruined?

ruined by trauma

you cannot get over the past. you are constantly remembering, never forgetting. you cant live in the moment because the moment is not what brought you here. you are birthed, raised, and killed in the past. you will never get over what was done to you, be it big or be it small. you cannot escape what you refuse to confront.

Vanitas whenever anyone who isn’t him tries to kill Ven

Okay, so this is a Japanese fandom thing. To understand this, you have to know that Japanese has a syllabic alphabet, each kana corresponding to a different syllable.

Japanese people also really love word play and a lot of their humor is based around it.

Vanitas’s name is spelled ヴァニタス (va-ni-ta-su).

ヴァ is, in my current understanding, a relatively recent addition to the katakana alphabet, which is now mostly used to for foreign, non-Japanese words or names. Before, it would have been pronounced as ba instead of va.

If you shorten Vanitas’s name in Japanese, you would call him ヴァニ (Vani).

Now, remember what I said about them loving wordplay? some people remembered the old usage and started jokingly calling him Bani instead of Vani.

Bani is the Japanese pronunciation for bunny.

This is why if you follow Japanese fanartists on Twitter or Pixiv, you’ll occasionally see Vanitas depicted with rabbits🐰

Do you all know about the Vanitas + bunny connection? 🐰
