Well, I guess you didn't have much of a choice either

#sooooo fucked up being a teenage boy just messing around with friends one day #and the next weird monsters are after you #and suspicious guys youve never met before start telling you you shouldnt even exist #and even the gentle girl who seems to know SO much that you met #says you have to disappear #all for the sake of this one boy youve never heard of #who apparently everyone loves and wants back #even if it means essentially killing someone else(you) #and youre expected to just. follow along and sacrifice yourself for him #even though you are also a real perosn with real friends (or so you believe) #and at the end you do it #because youre tired and confused #and part of you feels like it should do it #that its the right thing to do #even though you still dont know anything bc no one will tell you #except for the girl but everyone always goes out of their way to stop her #anyway im rambling the kh2 prolouge is so fucked up when u think about it #roxas #sora #kingdom hearts #kingdom hearts 2 #kh #kh2 #art #my art #xanders art #digital art #fan art

How often do the prop keyblades break because the actors just have to much fun swinging them around?

And how often do they just recite their favorite sword fight scenes from their favorite movies while swinging the "blades" around for fun?

Riku consistently has the most breakable keyblades I've ever seen

some observations from going down a rabbit hole of japanese language xigbar yesterday

(apologies for the youtube watermarks. i got this clip from this video.)

[Video ID: a fifteen-second clip from a cutscene from kingdom hearts 3D: dream drop distance, with japanese audio and english-language visuals. it's the scene where xigbar tells sora that he's not going to wake up. end ID.]

keep in mind that this clip is just the japanese audio being played over the visuals from the english language release. the subtitles aren't a direct or literal translation of the words being spoken; they correspond to the localized dialogue that the english voice actors wouldve been given

hōchū ōtsuka (xigbar's japanese va) and james patrick stewart (his english va) give, to my ears, pretty similar vocal performances. this is the case for pretty much all of the characters ive seen so far in my xigbar-centric explorations (roxas's vas sound nearly IDENTICAL). the notable exception being xemnas, whose japanese va straight up sounds like he's trying to talk without moving his mouth

in the english dub cutscenes, the character animations often feel...floaty? disconnected? like, because they're not synced up to what the characters are saying and how, their gestures frequently seem random and unmotivated. in retrospect it's obvious that this issue wouldnt be present in the original language because that's the dialogue they would've been animated around in the first place!

now that im actually watching the character animation with the dialogue it was actually done for, i appreciate it a lot more. its so expressive. smiles.

at the end of xigbar's speech here you may notice him saying the phrase "tte hanashi." this is his japanese catchphrase! it means something along the lines of "so they say", "or so I've heard", et cetera. i love "as if" im a big fan of "as if" but i also love the idea of xigbar consistently undermining the information he gives and emphasizing how often he eavesdrops and spies on people.

he says "tte hanashi" very very often. multiple times in most of his scenes that ive seen so far. way more often than the english dub says "as if"

he doesn't say it normal like im pretty sure that's not how you say it in normal speech. like sometimes he does say it normal, but he always draws it out at least a little and often really draws it out, emphasizing it with some kind of gesture, like he does in the clip

seriously if there's a moment in the games where xigbar says something while doing a cunty little gesture he is probably saying "tte hanashi" in the japanese version

this is my new vocal stim. i can't stop saying it

#&BTW im absolutely going to make a supercut of every time he says tte hanashi in the games...once i....actually play 3 #&also i know vastly more about japanese than the average person and vastly less than someone who speaks it fluently #im sure there are cultural/character signifiers in the way he speaks that im missing. pensive emoji. #&if you know for sure that any of my information here is wrong pleas let me know thank u. smile! #kh #kingdom hearts #xigbar #blakeposts

Imagine being Yozora and one day you just wake up and you’re some guy’s DeviantArt lovechild OC. That would be wild-

(Said “guy” being Tetsuya Nomura)

Credit + Individual drawings below

(Disclaimer: The character, Soku, is not mine, and the reference I used to draw her was by xxpunkgrlxx on DeviantArt. I just thought I should give credit, as it felt wrong not to, but I’m also very sorry if this was something you wanted to bury forever. I do love the paopu hair clip a lot, though, and the outfit as a whole is a very cute and well thought out combination!)

Soku:

Yozora:

We should bring back the “Xx_username_xX” thing with names, it was cool af-

#yozora #kingdom hearts #Soku #Soriku #at least tangentially… #Istg I need to actually draw something for it sometime so I can stop just saying that LMAO #no but literally why is he like that- #I can’t believe we have a canon Soriku lovechild OC recolor now #these games are the best- I love them so much

[yomipurge]

soriku first date :)

(I don't have the energy to finish rendering this.. so its a bit half finished.. i originally started it probably around 2 and a half months ago and the way i draw both of them have changed so pardon the inconsistancies)

I'll just put this here and reblog it again when it's 2029 and I'm proven right
