#kingdom hearts dream drop distance #khddd #sora #riku #nightmare's end #mirage split #my gif #i was going to write up a whole thing in the tags about my thoughts on this keyblade #but i just know it'll be an incoherent essay because i can't properly articulate my thoughts #the x-blade must be forged through a clash of light and darkness #but i find it so highly significant that sora and riku can create their own keyblade which is so unheard of #this keyblade isn't created with a clash but rather through harmony and balance #not with conflict but with understanding and connection and love #and i always felt as though that's how the x-blade SHOULD be forged. that master xehanort went about it all wrong #because balance and connections are such important themes in these games #it has two handles and looks so regal when combined. all of the shapes feel reminiscent of the x-blade too #it shines so brilliantly with both sora and riku's symbols. the heart and crown which is the iconic logo for the entire series #also the way stained glass is always used to represent hearts. it's so significant! #and yeah the paupu fruit keychain is its own thing to unpack #okay so i ended up writing something anyway but there's still so much more #i just really hope we get to see more of this in future games because it would be shocking if it was nothing more than a cool combo attack

Gortash designs and builds mechanisms so I imagine he has to be able to sketch fairly decently in order to sketch his projects and designs. And I'm imagining a pile of charcoal sketches of Durge, done over their entire acquaintance, starting out with sketches of them in battle and then slowly becoming more detailed and intimate and as they do, the titles changing from things like "The Bhaalspawn" and "Bhaal's Chosen at Their Bloody Work" to "The Chosen in Contemplation" and finally just Durge's name

#it's speculated that the individual pictured in these sketches is [name] who was thought to have resolved the absolute crisis #But the existence these drawings may suggest it was merely a hoax to improve their reputation #Idk man I just love the idea of Gortash keeping this series of sketches of durge #I admit a crazy fic idea I've been rotating is the idea of an art history commentary set 100 years after the events of the game covering #The art found in Gortash's estate after his death and how people would interpret it and their potential relationship #And link to first hand descriptions of the time and academic papers and all that #Stuff like “see Elerrathin et al for analysis on the class dynamics of formal portraits and new money during this period” or something #enver gortash #dark urge #dark urge x gortash #durgetash #baldur's gate 3 #bg3 #bg3 spoilers

au where asriel comes home early

#this came to me in a dream but i dont remember the rest #i just think it would be pretty interesting if asriel comes home since im assuming the game #takes place over a series of days until he comes back from college #i havent kept up with deltarune since chapter 2 came out so i dont remember much abt the theories around asriel #esp what ralsei is supposed to be- im kinda suspicious of ralsei actually since he didnt mention the roaring until #the end of chapter 2. plus we dont know why hes able to go between dark worlds without freezing so im a little sus #plus noelle points out that he looks like asriel so it makes me wonder if ralsei knows abt that or ow he would react to that information #and when noelle points it out she gets cut off because she says ralsei turned to face them as she was thinking that. hmmmm #im also curious if we actually get to see asriel and what he looks like so im looking forward to that #my art #myart #doodles #utdr #deltarune #ralsei #asriel dreemurr #deltarune asriel #kris dreemurr #deltarune kris #deltarune fanart #au #i dont think id actually call it an au its more of a one off but if anyone wants to take this and run go for it ^_^ #its probably already been done at some point anyway lol

many people leaving incredibly good analysis on my post. however I have experienced many pieces of media, many of which have all the aspects of kingdom hearts. many of which have the formula down, the length, the mystery, the dedication, nostalgia, emotions, sincerity, goofiness. I just think Nomura accidentally put something highly radioactive in there without realizing and no other explanation will suffice to explain why it makes you go crazy insane

#kipspeak #it’s arrogant for me to assume other things haven’t done what kh has done. therefore there’s probably ghosts in it #nomura’s special potion #I make light of it but truly I don’t think you can point to anything big the series does as the root cause #I think you just have to accept the 3699448 item stack as a special recipe like a dog whistle. Makes some animals go nuts #emetophobia tw — I get anxiety around anticipation a lot. Like if I have to wait for something to happen it makes me nauseous #I threw up waiting for a dark road stream to finish. why did I do that. I wasn’t particularly attached to dark road. #IT’S BECAUSE IT WAS KINGDOMHEARTS. STUPID GAME

She does NOT talk about him like that #Even in their later interactions like re6 shes still outwardly worried for him #The only piece of media that comes even close to that type of characterisation would probs be Damnation and even then #The whole movie segments with them is just dark flirting while on the job and theyre both in kinda bad moods so in there it makes sense mor #In RE4 its a reuniting after 6 years on BOTH sides. I loved Ada's new seperate ways and the bond she had with Luis but they massacred #How she and Leon treated each other and it makes me mad

for as much as we all joke that Mickey forgot Aqua was in the realm of darkness for 10 years, that's not actually true.

he lost track of her for 10 years. he found her again by sheer accident when he ran in there during the events of KH1. he couldn't go back to save her because he had to shut the door, was trying to help Riku get out of his own predicament, and learned about the organization and what they were doing. he spent a year doing who knows what, ill give you that, but there was a LOT of critical things going on immediately after he learned where Aqua was. bro needs a little leeway, if anything, more people should be mad at yen sid for telling Mickey not to mention Aqua. was it a weird as fuck choice? yes. but "he forgot Aqua for 10 years" is a very far cry from what actually happened

#kingdom hearts #idk i just dont like false things being said in canon #i still dont like mickey a whole lot because he heeded yen sid's weird ass choice #but i also just have to remember why this whole plot point came up #it was a writing retcon first and foremost. #in the original template for this story Aqua being discovered in the Realm of Darkness by Mickey was never planned #so it makes everyone look like assholes because Aqua was never mentioned #i need to remind everyone weekly that this game series is FULL of 'gotcha' moments like this #and while its valid to be upset about the flow and immersion of said choices #surely you must've known this was going to happen.

Quick and dirty thing with Raine doing my favorite attack Holy Lance.

Naturally, had to make a bloody lance version, too :)

#tales of symphonia #raine sage #tales of #digital art #tales series #tales of series #magic #I love magic #I love Raine so much #I wish they would've kept her dark magic in the game #but nooooo #had to nerf the healer lady #she'd be too powerful against the angels #just imagine Raine nuking any angel with bloody lance

One of the most important things that happens in totk but almost no npc talks about it is Link losing his arm. We don't even see a big reaction from him also, he just accepts he got a new arm from a dead king and that's it. I know he has the stoic-knight-personality going on yet, but that's such a big thing that happened and there is no emotional impact at all?

And even if Link won't emote about it because is probably a traumatic event and he could shut down because of it, other characters that know him should immediately notice his arm is gone. And the fact that almost nobody did is so weird and a missed oportunity to highlight Link as a character and as a protagonist

And his new arm? Imagine you waking up with your arm gone and you have a strangers arm in place, and knowing that you were so close to dying (again). You find out the person you care the most got teleported to the past and you can see glimpses of things that happened, but everything is still confusing and you don't know what is going on yet

But when we discover with Link what in fact happened, we don't get anything from him, just our own reaction as the players

Link deserves to have more highlight for the things that happens with him, and I wish they gave him that at least now in totk; he deserves it as the one of the main protagonist of the series

#I was going to rant just about his arm but you know the cutscenes also bothered me #and I know maybe Nintendo didn't want to make a super dark game bc thats not what they do #when they said totk was going to be the darkest game in the series and stared with link losing his arm I was like omg lets goooo #but the emotional impact is just not there #at least not in the parts I already saw #I didn't finish the game yet #also I still think Majoras Mask did things better in the emotional aspect #and skyward sword also did better with Link #tears of the kingdom

Kingdom Hearts 0.2 Birth by Sleep - A Fragmentary Passage

#kingdom hearts 0.2 birth by sleep a fragmentary passage #kh0.2 #darkside #heartless #realm of darkness #my gif #i really do wish to learn more about these heartless #they're huge and intimidating although never particularly strong yet they still feel so significant #i'd like to think they're more than what they seem and are not just a reoccurring boss #waiting for the possibility to learn info on a very specific thing for an ongoing 20+ year old game series... agonizing #the fact that only this kind of heartless can create a giant evil ball of energy in the sky that consumes worlds means SOMETHING right? #whenever we have to fight one the camera always zooms out through the empty heart shaped chest cavity and i want that to Mean Something

iirc i never posted about this but. it's on my mind rn.

okay so. i'm FTM, yeah? and by some metrics i am a "late bloomer" in that i didn't begin my transition until i was an adult. and also, i am effeminate. i've never really been a Masculine person.

growing up, i had access to my older siblings video games. and then whatever my parents got me for birthdays and holidays. which tended to be games that were marketed towards girls. i'm talking your barbie games, your horse games, your nintendogs.

and when the internet began to develop central hubs for flashgames that weren't just insensitive jokes and pro iraq war propaganda, i always gravitated towards the "girly games." usually dress ups.

and as i kid i never wanted, say, nerf guns or toy soldiers. i think the most masc interest i had was rewatching the same power rangers episode on VHS over and over.

so i never got into War Games. i never got into Male Power Fantasy. i was playing harvest moon. i was playing pokemon for the cute critters. i played TF2 i guess? but that was about it.

and i feel like. my experiences as a Man Who Plays Video Games is very different from other Men Who Play Video Games. i will watch streamers on twitch and they'll gleefully reference something from their childhood that i have no frame of reference for.

there's a disconnect there. what feels like, to me, a Central Lore that i am missing. and it can be very alienating sometimes. like i'm not Allowed into the Boys Club because i was playing with virtual dolls instead of virtual guns

and that, as an adult, i still tend to skew in the direction of cute games/dress up games instead of like. fighting games and FPS and RTS

so.... ya. this is a post for Girly Gamers. love u

#that said like. i love bioshock. i love the fallout series. #not every game i enjoy is a quote unquote Girly Game #but i'm talking about the Fundamentals #what is a gmod. what is a call of duty. what is a metal gear solid #what is a street fighter. what is a dark souls #these are just Words to me #also for my fellow millenials: referencing blinkerfluid when i mention the propaganda stuff #jay.rtf

So, I realize the intent in trilogies is to move a story forward, rather than back, but wouldn’t it be neat for a prequel storyline for Dishonored 3?

Like, whether it would follow some of the early Marked or focus on our resident void boy, it would be cool to see the world before the main storyline

Especially if it followed our void boy in the time before becoming the Outsider

#ok am I biased? yeah #but listen #the month of darkness set a tone for what the world was like before #so what if it showed us a world before the outsider became the outsider? #granted it would also be awful because he went through a lot #but like #a return to the ritual hold before it became a relic #maybe leading into the eye of the dead god and how that came to be #there is so much lore to dig into from Before that I think it would be a neat option #I don’t know the idea of this game is loving rent free in my head and I’m having fun thinking about this series full time again #time to dig into all the past games again lol #come chat with me if you have opinions on this #dishonored #dishonored 3 #microsoft leaks #arkane studios #just a buzzing bee
