"wanting fiction to be relatable is selfish" my dude you can advocate for people getting outside of their own perspectives (a good thing) without implying that the human desire to be understood and empathized with is vapid and bourgeois

#like im of agreement with that one post that's like ''Resonant is a better word for what i want in a book than Relatable'' #but sometimes Relatable really is a fuckin great experience and i don't think its bad for people to seek that out #esp bc mainstream society leaves a lot of people in the dust in that regard #like if you're refusing to try stuff that doesn't seem ''relatable'' or saying stuff is objectively bad bc it wasn't personally relatable #then you should maybe expand your horizons and stop treating your own experiences as the hallmark of quality #but wanting to feel seen isnt a bad thing. #different stories can serve different purposes and someone enjoying the relatability of one can enjoy the different perspective of another #theyre not mutually exclusive like so many posts seem to portray them

Here's my piece for thecrowslullaby's amazing fic Fire!

Very happy to have participated in this year's Big Bang, especially as a way to send off the DNAD server. We have such amazing artists in this fandom and I'm so grateful lol.

It's that time of the year again folks, welcome back to another @khoc-week!!

I love having an excuse to ramble about my OCs and their character development exploits once a year because at any other time I keep it in my brain vault until I die, so it is always a pleasure to participate in this fun event!!

This year I was originally planning on focusing on two of my characters who needed some love, however in light of it being my main KH OC's 10th year of existing plus the return to some OG prompts, I just had to do a triple threat!

May Kingdom Hearts have mercy upon my soul-

Anyway, without further ado~

Day 1 - Introductions

My offerings this year are Irene, Iris, and Iliana! The Triple I, you know they're all bonded when they have a signifigant motif.

[Pictured: The goofs in question, in order Irene, Iliana, and Iris]

Lets get into their lil' noggins, shall we?

Iris:

Iris is an ex-member of the Ursus Union, and is a total busybody. Knows no rest. Vacation time? Who is she? All she knows is collect Lux and badger teammates.

Perhaps this is bad for such a young teenager, but alas it's what fate intended-

She came to Daybreak Town with an older sister, one she hardly remembers and never sees, but she could recognise if given the right moment. The most she recognizes her by is a motif for brightly colored birds... Unless she's mixing that up with her final moments?

She is known for being detail oriented and very meticulous with her work as a wielder, and comes off as bossy about it when it doesn't go her way. She's never had a stable team because of this, at least until she met Alto.

Alto is her best friend, and I had the joy of talking about him for last year's event! He brought a necessary fun loving and relaxing counterbalance that wouldn't make her have a grudge against her role for years to come, and that is something she holds close to her heart

The two of them were inseperable until tragic events took place in an eerie back alley with a mysterious Foreteller, and she got yeeted through time and space to the future, where she ended up missing a good portion of events that would eventually lead to even more tragedy.

This is where she is taken in by...

♡♡♡

Irene:

Irene is a member of the Radiant Garden Royal Guard, and is well loved by castle staff and townsfolk alike!

She's best known for her kind heart and motherly nature, as well as her skills in baking and field medicine!

She works alongside her older brother, Elijah, who tends to watch over her despite the fact she can handle herself.

She's the eldest of the Heart Hotel residents, being the only middle aged woman (not counting Igni, but we don't talk about her anyway-) to reside in there!

Before she was assimilated to the collective, she had taken in Iris's heart by complete accident.

In all honesty, when the two first spoke she had thought she was overworked, but over time realized it was all real!! A voice in her head with barely any grasp of her own memories, how unique!

She had to keep it a secret, however, because over time it seemed someone caught on and took interest...

When Ansem the Wise's very... intriguing new apprentice came into town, things seemed dire for the two of them, and it was only a matter of time before Irene too was met with a terrible fate.

Irene with Iris retreated elsewhere, safely to a heart they knew they could trust: the heart of a young girl that visited Radiant Garden frequently with her grandmother...

♡♡♡

Iliana:

When I first ever introduced her to the internet (and to the first ever KHOC Week), she was known as Izaberu, but since then she received an overhaul unlike any other!

Golly, I haven't brought her back to this event in a while ([checks watch] since 2019 actually-), so this will be a ride!

Currently at the start of her very long journey (KH2 era), she is (reluctantly) a Keyblade wielder hopping between worlds in her reliable Gummi ship steed, the Firestorm, while also babysitting at least two young boys and two farm animals (affectionate).

She's 18 around this time, but seems like a well seasoned veteran in comparison to those who had already been involved in this mess far longer. Must be the trauma.

She's very laid-back, sarcastic, riddled with sleepygirl (and Igni) disease, and harboring a lot of internal self doubt, guilt and rage, which I proudly say she does get to work on throughout her journey! Not with a, uh, therapist, unfortunately.

She's very goofy and awkward, yet somehow very good at taking the lead when you least expect, which makes her a valuable member to the team later on. She's a nuisance, but a useful nuisance.

Iliana started her life as a noble in the Hills of Progress, a world you could say was if Scala ad Caelum and the Land of Departure had a lovechild that turned out evil. Awful place. Beautiful scenery though!

She lived a very uncomfortable life, both as a descendant and vessel of Igni, the latter being something she had no choice to be forced into, and on top of learning to be a Keyblade wielder she was constantly under a spotlight. Not to mention, uh, having parental issues AND being parentified very young. Yeah, that might explain some things-

The only good things she got out of it was an adorable little brother, some wonderful friends, and a grandmother who took her all sorts of places, most frequently Radiant Garden.

She was 8 when she first met Irene and Iris, and from there seemed to deviate from the norms she was expected of, which typically means bad news where she's from especially as a Guardian (ie. the world's official title of a vessel of Igni, it's definitely not fun!)

Though, things seemed to be normal for a while, of course we can't avoid the domino effect of tragic loss.

It was her grandmother first, followed up by her closest friend's murder a few years later, then shortly after she decided to pack up her brother and leave... the world would fall to darkness... or at least that's what it seemed like, but we can talk more on that later.

She fleed alone to Traverse Town, where she stayed with her uncle and met another colorful cast of characters, a place she considered home for about a year.

Ironically, she did meet Sora during his first adventure, but that was something she forgot just like everyone else. RIP-

After a while, she felt discontented and riddled with survivor's guilt, so she set out to rescue her world against her uncle's advice, something that would now place the final nail in her, albeit very loosely built, coffin.

She was confronted by a Heartless in the depths of space that she was not prepared to face, and it pursued her to an unfamiliar world where it finally finished the job...

♡♡♡

Little did it know was that together the memories of these three ladies (and Igni, unfortunately) created Reixen (who I also talked about!! In 2020 I think! Funny how it all comes together-), who indirectly kept them alive, while outside forces who became interested in Iliana's wreckage sought to restore her back to her truest form.

Which brings us back around to where they're at!

After the incident, Iris and Irene are dormant throughout her journey, so Iliana ends up relying on the companionship of Alto, who had also mysteriously popped up out of the blue, to keep her on track towards whatever it is that weird wizard told her to do. Yen Sid's words always go over her head-

Together along with Sora, Donald, and Goofy they save the worlds from Organization XIII while also working to restore the two (technically three) dormant souls back to their true forms... or at least wake them up first, but that will take a while (until the Mark of Mastery, which is an absolute treat in of itself, if I had a place to put the info this week oh boy-).

Aaaaaand that about does it for Day 1!

I'm making my posts meaty this year because it's truly blorbo hours and I'm celebrating what I have so far! Get ready for a lot of reading, for I will ramble my way into the sun.

So yes! Triple threat, but it might mostly be an Iliana sort of year. She's my little meow meow, don'tcha know-

But that does it for today! Onto Day 2!

Stealing this from dreamwidth but imagine you absolutely had to, at gunpoint, turn one of your fanfics into a publishable work, doesn't matter if it's good or would sell. Put in the tags what would you choose and how you would go about filing off the serial numbers.

#op #my first choice is expand one of my more engaging-with-the-canon romeo and juliet fics into a short story that works as a retelling #so not filing off the serial numbers but filing off the iddy elements in favor of meta commentary and quality. #probably the juliet kills paris au or the romeo kills mercutio au #if short stories are not an option... necessarily its ikmka middle grade high fantasy novel time 😭 #would probably need to be genderbended bc the balance of its not a violent abduction/its not a consensual fostering would be pretty hard to #reproduce without too obvious copying grrm and this does need a legal veneer to work cant make it just a raid/kidnapping #but a marriage alliance to younger boy as punishment for the defeated nation etc works. would also force me to file the serial numbers off #the family drama a bit better lmaooo

[dooplissss]

I know its gauche to say that hrt changes a person, thats objectively wrong and is thinly veiled bioessentialism and hurts trans people in the long run.

that said. one of my friends has become whole a lot funnier after he started taking testosterone, proving that women are inherently unfunny

#I AM KIDDING I AM KIDDING I AM KIDDING #it is actually interesting tho like his sense of humor is much better than when i first met him #but i think it can be chalked up to a higher quality of life and an expanded social network who knows
