oh my god yes yes please yes.

There's this one ongoing series that I've been following for a while which is essentially just the basis of this and just, hnrrgh. I love Ven and Vanitas getting very protective of the other Heart Hotels, angry for them, teaching them. There's something to be said about them being the ones who Came Before and had the universe dropped on their shoulders, and when that universe comes for the child who saved them they pull out a fucking gun.

Honestly there's an AU I have tucked away to potentially write one day that is actively about Ven and Vanitas just sitting there with their mouths open as they witness Sora's entire journey and when Ven wakes up, they just. Forge the X-blade. Immediately. Go scorched earth on everything. For Sora, and Roxas, and Xion.

Maybe one day.

I just go all soft and warm when there a kingdom hearts AU with venvan while sora being cared for as a little brother both in and out his heart.❤️

And putting soroku in the mix makes it more amazing.❤️❤️❤️❤️

Please send me any content similar to this, it gives me joy.

And please share thoughts and opinions

What the difference between darklings and heartless to be honest?

I know darklings are fallen keyblade wielders

Yet sora became a heartless unless that what anti and rage forms really are but what really are the contrast and comparison as a keyblade wielder?

So when shipping characters in kingdom hearts fandom are good on venvan but not soroku?😓

WHAT UP WITH THAT!?😡

NA I’m on soroku FOREVER!!!!❤️

Destiny awaits…

Character designs below:

Still make some of them so i'll update this or make a new post about it when i've finished

I need to fucking sleep man. I was doing so good on this till i had to draw Sora- like wtf happened. I'm so sorry Sora ur animation looks so choppy. Anyway I just finished the Gay Blade fight *Cough Cough* I mean Aqua's fight, and thought this audio would fit them really well. It does, I just wish I did better job at animating it.

My favorite drawing form this:

Riku looks so sweet and happy here it makes my heart melt. [Even if he looks beat up-]

Gaming Backlog Side Quest: Kingdom Hearts Re:Visited - A Fragmentary Retrospective (Part 1)

So it's only my second blog post in this backlog series, and I'm already veering off-course from what I originally thought it was going to be lol. Basically I want these KH Re:Visited posts to be a way for me to look back on how I got into this series while I share it with a friend of mine: @plzdonthitmewithyourcar. I think both fans of the series and people with <1% knowledge about this funky ass series should be able to enjoy the post though.

(Start of backstory) My introduction to Kingdom Hearts was very unconventional; I essentially stumbled across a volume of the manga while browsing my local library as a kid:

So to my naive self, I assumed that this was the first volume of the whole series, and the "II" of the logo was lost on me (cuz I was a 11 year old lmao). I knew nothing about it, and the cover stood out to me so I decided to take it home and give it a read.

My introduction to the series consisted of what I think is still my favorite false-start to a game I've played. I fully went into this book, and by extension the KH series thinking that it was all about this young teen named Roxas and his friends living in Twilight Town slowly discovering a series of odd events relating to strange creatures called "Nobodies"; Enough to say that by the end of the first volume the rug got pulled out from under me as I was introduced to the true protagonist of the series, Donald, and Goofy: the first truly Disney characters (which also took me aback because I didn't know that the Square Enix x Disney crossover was so literal)

So with that first volume consumed and my pre-teen mind absolutely blown, I voraciously looked for anything else I could consume about the series. (End of backstory)

So now that I'm introducing a dear friend of mine to the series, I've decided to essentially follow the same path that I went on when I was learning the series while introducing them. I've only played the opening of KH2 with them, before we have now switched over to KH1. I'm very pleased that the opening still has the same charm that captured me years ago. The pleasant coziness and simplicity of Twilight Town, contrasted to the feeling of ominous foreshadowing when the supernatural elements begin to become more present and Roxas is forced to confront the answers to the questions he's been asking himself.

Game cinematics are sick AF, gameplay holds up so well (looking at you KH1), and the writing is very recognizably that charming yet unnatural approach to character-driven story.

Some of the things that I hadn't appreciated as much on my first playthrough was the interactions with Seifer, and how Hayner was essentially behind-the-scenes rallying people in the town to help figure out what was going on with Roxas and all the strange events that were beginning to show up around their quiet town. I think noticing interactions like those made me appreciate even more the tragic story of Roxas.

So yeah, this series is really special to me, and I'm really glad to be able to share it with people and blog about it. :)
