Kingdom Hearts 3 - Toy Box

#kingdom hearts 3 #kh3 #toy box #scenery #my gif #running around andy's room and seeing sora donald and goofy's toy themed appearance for the first time is such a vivid memory for me #they went so hard making that toy store it's soooo detailed. just imagine all of the assets needed to fill the place #box art for toys; video game cover cases; various figures/toys to put out on display for a variety of different toy departments #they could have remade al's toy barn but no they created this huge three story tall mega super store #it's every kids dream and looks too grand and amazing to be an actual existing building in the toy story canon lol #but even the plot elements of this world are so intriguing #there's the introduction of yozora; the gigas mechs; having sora thrown into a tv screen right into the verum rex game; split worlds #so much happens here and i just know it'll be fully recontextualized in future game installments #i'm really looking forward to that #but all of that aside it's really neat to be toy sized #it's all just such a fun experience. good world

Theres something about Sora's kh3 voice that is just so.... scrungly, idk how to describe it. Haley Joel Osment did a phenomenal job with it.

#Rosie rambles #kingdom hearts #kh sora #sora #Amazing fantastic the voice claim for two of my ocs #I literally can't describe it but his voice is so good in kh3 specifically #Like it's good in other games too but kh3 just hits different somehow

I wish we went to Hawaii in KH to see Stitch and Lilo so bad, like if you won't let us go back to playable Destiny Islands give us the similar climate 7700+ km East.

#pili rambles #also I want to drag Vanitas over there and force him to have INTERACTIONS and ONSCREEN SELFLECTION with Stitch and his family #words of a fan haunted by the Stitch narrative being a parallel to Vanitas way back in bbs #The KH3 Carribean are amazing but the atmosphere is different

fist clenching over a reblog of one of steams kh3 hercules posts and im not even past the screenshots bc iTS ALWAYS THE FUCKING DADS

I say "always" when im mostly talking about two worlds (hercules, tron) in general, but whatever! im iiii needdd to knoww whatt the fuckingg deal is with these damn. These damn riku parallels and their fucking, dads.

#no context #like its not just 'x character is a god/poweful entity' its always that the character's /dad/ is a god or powerful entity #and it makes me angry #thats a quote im not actually angry lol #again its just me probably fixating on the wrong aspects of hercules and tron world #flashback: father and son #god riku #fucking tron world #the grid #ddd spoilers #i dont rly know why. kh would go the 'riku's lineage is important actually' route instead of just highlighting riku straight out #what with all this lineage bs #i dont have anything against it! as u can see im actually feral for this concept #it's just infuriating bc im desperate to know what tf it all means #this isn't like organized thoughts or amazing by far its rly just some spur of the moment bs #also thinking about the kh3 ephemera scene mirroring riku's kh1 intro and all of /his/ bloodline bs #is it al just to help justify riku's implied importance???? im just word vomiting here tryna make sense of things #its 1am pls excuse me lol #my ramblings put to paper #def forgetting tags but i can add them later or sum #i /cannot/ think of the right tags atm #i dont remember my tags ahhh #might add more tags later

underrated Sora and Donald interaction.

#also love how sora just comes in and is apparently canonically such an amazing singer that he gets the lead next to ariel #and that he and ariel are still dancing together in kh3 when he summons her #shiv.txt #kh2 #kingdom hearts #sora

Kingdom Hearts 3, while a fun game, limited itself by being, well, Kingdom Hearts “3″.  By the rules of numbered titles we had to stay primarily in Sora’s POV, rather than embodying each character as they concluded their narrative arcs.  This defeated the point of an arc-ending game and made some very awkward scenes where our best boy had to interject in scenes he had no business being involved in.  In this essay I will -

#kh #kingdom hearts #thinking about my complicated feelings on kh3 again #mostly bc I'm trying to figure out HOW I'm going to do it in my fic #but also just because it's such a fun narrative to poke #a lot of honestly amazing moments to love and gush over! #a lot of baffling choices to tear your hair out over! #it's like that one chart I saw about the intersection of interesting and flawed

[eternalfrowning]

i hope you draw more of vanitas, he's underrated and frankly there's not enough art of him

hello! i did draw more of him for the sovani Smoke+Honey anthology !! but preorders are closed now ;; but i will probably share some of the works i did for it here in the future ! :> also i hope we'll get to see him way more in the future games..? i want to see him too..!!!

#hes such a good character #and i don't buy that it's the end for him in kh3.. (still havent catched up with DR no idea if he appears but anyway anyway!!!) #we do need more of him!! #ask #tried to link it but didnt work zeugbuzge but on my twitter you can see my previews if you want !! #all the artists are amazing !!! i wan't wait to hold the book.. #so many sovanis #<3 #(*can't!)

i watched kingdom hearts cutscenes yesterday for fun and then suddenly went Wow I Love KH So Much and yeah that's really real

#⋯ ꒰ა starry thoughts ໒꒱ *·˚ #kh my childhood my everything #i say this. sometimes but i have a really funny story w it in that #i played kh1 but never got far. i could never save the game so i repeated the first part over and over again and never got off the island #i was reaaally young but it really stuck w me ..... i didn't realize which game it was until sometime when i played/playing thru kh3? #yeah. i skipped all the way to kh3. you see my aunt was the one who got me and my twin into square enix games from a really young age #so we played kh1 on the ps2 i think because she had it #and then kh3 on the ps4 bcs she had it but she wasn't super interested...? i forgor the reasoning but yeah so she just. let us have it LMFAO #i understand people's feelings towards the game but i'm personally amazed i enjoyed it amazingly so w/o much knowledge of other kh games #idk kh means a whole lot to me. it's really silly but so full of ... Heart. KFBSKDHSKNSKS <3

#kh3 #kingdom hearts 3 #this game looked amazing #I loved all of the characters #I was having trouble trying to focus on the story though #I thought the story was all over the place #idk #it was still good #it was just a little difficult to understand sometimes

amazing art by pondrea (link above!!!) got me feeling things (the art is so good op!!!!!! 💚) and now i need to yap about this scene lol it’s of the moment zexion disguised himself as sora to riku in com.

(i hope it’s ok to post the link here! let me know if not!)

i’m CONVINCED what zexion said to riku as sora this still haunts riku to this day. it wasn’t even sora who said all that, but i’m sure the fear of how it played out in com actually playing out with the real sora scared riku to death. the fear of this happening led to him walking away from sora first, not even giving him the chance just in case there was a repeat scenario. sure, there was a lot of self hatred and feeling like he didn’t deserve to see sora as well, but the look on riku’s face tells you that this scarred him. this was his biggest fear. he rather fade to darkness than go through this again and isn’t even willing to risk that it could go another way.

anyway, this is just context for what i actually want to talk about lmao

so this is probably one of worst moments for riku right? utterly rejected by his best friend and now that friend was willing to kill him for who he is now. and it wasn’t even real.

but you know who that was real for? sora. in hollow bastion. utterly rejected by riku. his only means of defense taken, basically left to die. and then riku fought him tooth and nail until he lost and sora let him run away.

you know who got closure for their version of this scene? riku. he got it when sora fell to the ground on his knees in the world that never was, when he said he looked everywhere for him and told him he was still riku no matter what. sora told him exactly what he needed to hear to reassure him that sora didn’t think any of things riku feared he did. sora telling him specifically that he was still riku no matter what showed riku that sora stills wants him around. even if he looks like their enemy and even if he did some real awful things, he’s still riku and that’s enough. riku as he is is enough for sora. always has been.

you know who never got anything like that? sora. in fact, the conclusion that sora found to get him through is that he’s not enough. his friends are his power. alone, he has no strength. he only made it through by relying on a complete stranger he managed to befriend. if beast wasn’t there or if he refused to go with sora, would he have survived? he had magic but that would run out eventually. would he have even made it to the room he fights riku in?

i don’t think he thinks he would’ve. in kh3, he says alone, he’s worthless. he’s held that sentiment this entire time. no one told him otherwise. (until riku’s sacrifice but it’s murky about whether sora even remembers that at this point. but even if he does, it wasn’t like the scene in the world that never was. sora was able to dictate exactly what riku needed to hear with no imminent threat and riku was not emotionally compromised like sora was in the keyblade graveyard. riku was able to process everything sora said. that is a far cry to sora screaming in agony over all his friends dying, sora believing wholeheartedly that he's nothing without them, and riku just saying he believes in him. sure, thats what sora needed in that moment to save everyone, but it's not a response to his fears and insecurities established in kh1 like how what sora says to riku is a response to his fears and insecurities established in com.)

at this point, i think it’s obvious that sora knows riku’s changed from kh1 and that he doesn’t believe the same things. sora knows he cares based on his actions and how he saved him too and we know as an audience how dedicated he is to him. but it fucks me up to think that riku got that verbal closure while sora never did. that riku got to start healing from that awful moment but sora really never did.

just,,,, please please please please let them talk about what happened in kh1 i am on my knees begging

extra thoughts: didn’t think of this at first so sorry it’s a little disconnected, but maybe the reason riku is so horrified in that moment in com is because he realizes this is what he put sora through. maybe he made this connection himself and feeling what it was like to be on the other side of it, on sora’s side, horrified him. what’s worse, in riku’s mind, is that riku deserves to be in this position and deserves to be rejected due to his past actions. but sora never deserved it. maybe that contributed to why the self loathing spiral got worse after com.

#this has been in my drafts for a few days now because i’m afraid i forgot scenes where all this is addressed or i’m just wrong but #fuck it lmao #if i am wrong or forgot something lmk!! #otherwise #it drives me insane that there is still unresolved trauma from kh1 #let my boy heal!!!!! #let him get closure!!!!! #i know riku loves sora so much but literally sora needs a moment so bad where riku sits him down #and says he’s enough he’s so much and more on his own #he needs to tell him his heart is strong not weak that he is more than enough just by himself that he’s so valuable and cherished and loved #tell him everything he needs to hear like he told you everything YOU needed to hear!!!!!!!!!!!! #sorry for all my rambling disconnected thoughts #kingdom hearts #sora #riku #soriku #i yap

[nyctoheart]

i agree so much with what you said in the previous ask. i think the reason the song didnt vibe at first with a lot of people is because it didnt fit the opening. the other openings have beats that drop and specific actions that fit, (think kh2.. serene music for the island segment then the beat drops when sora hops from the tree to battle in hollow bastion, - in kh3 you have terra going super saiyan and the music is calm from example - back to kh2 opening "my sanctuary" when sora finds kairi in hollow bastion, "i watch you fast asleep" while kairi stares at the sea, kairi and namine lipsyncing the song basically, the song changing going back to sora and co fighting "my hears a battleground" and the best one the beat dropping when roxas literally drops from sora)

In kH3 the cinematic is amazing, the music is great, it just doesnt melt together

sorry late reply! YES exactly. Its honestly surprising because every cinematic opening before KH3 did such a good job with the visuals matching the tempo and "momentum" of the music.

​the ONE part I feel matches is when the "door of light" is opening over the various characters.

#I wonder if the A.G remix would fit better #if I had the time *shrug #ask #asks
