Toy Box and its connection to KH4

I am sure I am late to the preverbal party, but while rewatching the story of Toy Box connections were made. And now, it makes way too much sense. I've often thought that the worlds of KH3 have much more to say than meets the eye. A lot is said in subtext and details. But, it seems Toy Box is more than most. The more I've looked at it, the more I am convinced that Toy Box is full of foreshadowing of future events. I think that even if my conclusions are wrong, Toy Box is meant in this way and whatever happens we'll look back and see them. Just how everything is, indicates this reading. I'm going to lay everything out though, and put my initial thoughts here. I'm sure there will be more in time as well. "The Heartless- the darkness- can only creep in when our hearts falter. Trust me. You'll be fine if you don't lose heart."

This was really got me thinking. Toy Box has themes of separation, losing heart and darkness. What is exactly going on with KH4? Well one thing is certainly separation. Sora is separated from the rest of his friends, with no clear hope that he'll ever see them again. Then, we have Yozora. Who exactly is Yozora? We don't know, yet like others the story seems to indicate that it is actually Sora, if the storyteller is being fairly overt. Could be a red herring of course, it happens. But let's go with that for now. How could that even happen? I'd assume from Toy Box, it tells us how: possession. It is from those lines above. "You'll be fine if you don't lose heart." So then, does Sora lose heart? If Yozora is Sora, then what Yozora says "save Sora" makes roundabout sense. We're talking about KH here, and it isn't like this hasn't happen before. It seems like the storytellers, MO as well, honestly. That's my sense of him. What's interesting is, when you look at the rest of the story of Toy Box, the story gives not only foreshadowing, but also hope. It gives us the antidote to what could be Sora's future. In the scene that is by far one of my favorite scenes in all of KH3 and the rest of KH Sora says this: "Distance doesn't matter. Andy's part of their hearts, just like my friends are part of mine. You can't rip that apart!"

The question is, will Sora remember? Or will he "lose heart" just like Buzz did? And even then, if someone is truly bent on possessing him, would that even matter? And just how much is Toy Box foreshadowing the future? "If we follow our hearts, we'll find him again." Woody was talking about Andy, but I can't help but think of Sora now and his friends, especially Riku as he follows his own heart to search for Sora. There is always hope. "Xehanort, you're so caught up in finding the shadows, you forgot about the light that cast them."

#in other connections I couldn't help but think of Jack and Daniel of Stargate SG-1 in the interactions between Buzz and Woody #it makes sense #since Toy Box has a bit of an american military bent story wise #nyssa's ramblings #nyssa’s favorite key #kingdom hearts #kh sora #kh4 speculation #kh3

ok here me out. since the companions have a support group, do they like give tips to each other on how they survived shit? like tegan and nyssa talk about the events of time flight and Jo is like “oh I have trick to resist the pesky masters hypnosis”. And everyone’s like “really what is it?!” And Jo all joyfully goes “oh by singing nursery rhymes of course!” Like imagine if 15 and Ruby ever visited the group and then a few episodes the master comes back (as the whole fandom groans in annoyance) and they try to hypnotize Ruby and she starts speaking nursery rhymes and the master is like “stop that annoying singing, why are you doing that?!” And Ruby just grins and says “I learned it from Jo Grant.” And then the Master just explodes from the mere mention of Jo Grant.

Really does dawn on me: when is Modern Doctor Who going to get a time-displaced companion again? Like I understand that Companions these days are kinda ment to be a Psuedo-Audience Surrogate but like there is something a bit more fun yanking someone from like the 16th Century & they are baffled at the modern era or beyond.

Yes hi hello, I'd love to hear ur thoughts on the al ghul children

Hi yes hello I'd love to talk about them

I am so weak to assassin children you have no idea so anyway

The Al Ghul Children. Are so freaking TRAGIC and I can never get over them

So you have the baby generation which is Mara and Damian and Athantasia; then the original generation, which is Dusan, Nyssa, and Talia.

Attie straight up doesn't exist in most media but in the game(?) where she does she's Damian baby sister who was kept a secret until he couldn't go back to being with the bats. I think about her all the time. What did she know about Damian growing up? Did she ever want to meet him? How many times did she sit in the middle of the night and wish for her brother to do something unforgivable so he could come back? Or was she glad he was gone? The league canonically pits their kids against each other, did she grow up resenting him? Or, even if she liked the idea of him, did she resent him anyway for being the child who went to Bruce? Did she take up Damian's place in the duels with Mara?

Athantasia isn't used nearly enough for her potential she is blorbo-shaped.

And then Damian! Itty bitty baby boy with a sword and issues. I think so much about how he's naturally soft but he can't be because of circumstance. How many quiet moments were lost to blood, how long did it take for him to learn what a genuine human connection felt like? What if he never did? I've been around humans I love since I was born, and I still sometimes feel absolutely disconnected from them. How much superiority is covering for insecurity? We've seen him make friends, Maps, Colin, Jon, as the three I actually care about, and he likes them. Did he make friends in the league? What happened to them? Or did he just, for lack of a better word, imprint, on other assassins?

In a complete other fandom I'm propagating biting as a love language and Damian has that vibe too.

and MARA

Holy fudge Mara also sends me; being constantly raised not only as a weapon, but being told you're the second best weapon and that maybe you can gain more prestige if you beat your cousin in a deadly duel, except even if you do win you know you will never get the recognition you're trying for because his mother is favored and your father isn't

Were she and Damian ever close, or as close as they could get? Did they plan how to lead the league when they weren't trying to take each others' eyes out, did she ever meet Attie, did she take her anger on Damian out on Attie, is the red streak something she does to hide a lazarus streak or is it natural from her dad? Can she see out of her other eye? Where did she see herself in the league before Damian deserted? Is she close to her teammates in the fist or are they just the prettiest canon fodder Ra's could send?

Is there a part of her that is as relieved to be hunting Damian down as it is angry, because at least fighting him is familiar?

The older three also make me Feel Things but not as much as the kiddos.

Nyssa apparently survived the holocaust? And then Ra's murdered her kids and then repeatedly killed her and dropped her into the pits for... something? I don't remember if I ever learned why that happened, but it did and it's so horrid? Drove her to insanity, surprise surprise. I recommend Misericordia and it's sequel on ao3 if you want to cry over Steph, Damian, Talia, and Nyssa. And then the Nyssa Al Ghul & Tim Drake Tag, if you're feeling adventurous. I don't even know the NAMES of Nyssa's kids and that makes me incredibly sad.

Would they have gotten along with the other three? Would they have taken them and ran? Or would they train them, keeping their bloodline strong, and just quietly know that these are their cousins and they're so proud?

And Talia gets rewritten every other writer but there are so many options when characterizing her and they're so much fun. But also everyone else deals with her so jumping to the next one. I think Talia is also the youngest? Don't quote me on that

Anyway last al ghul I think too much about is Dusan. I can't remember if he's the oldest or the middle child but despite being Ra's' male heir he straight up got sent away because he has albinism? And then he fought his way back into his father's ranks under an alias? He went so far for approval and he's still overlooked, and his kid is considered second rate, even though he's personally considered to be terrifying?

How long did it take him to come back? Why didn't he stay away? Does he ever regret it, now that he's back in the league?

i just. There are lots. and lots. of thoughts about them. And I'm sure there are more al ghuls hiding somewhere for me to lose my everloving mind over but I haven't met them yet

the inherent hate of someone who has everything you think you want battling with the inherent love for someone who has gone through the same horrors you have

Obsessed with Adric's method of distraction actually. He's like "i'll pretend to be dying under a bicycle and then Throw It At You that'll work'. And then later he's like "Hello Yes We Are Aliens we heard your signal and we are here to Talk To You' like absolute king behaviour what a guy.

#wren rambles #doctor who #classic doctor who #adric of alzarius #logopolis #honestly love adric and nyssa pretending to be at the pharos project because theyre aliens who heard it and came to talk to the humans #idk why but that is SO FUNNY to me #they landed and were like 'isnt it cute the humans are trying to talk to the world. this is a convenient distraction. We ARE aliens' #love that for them #adric and nyssa being aliens together is one of my favourite things i wont lie

In typical fashion for me, I have fallen into AU hell for Doctor Who and I am really living it up over here

#this is me begging someone to ask me about one of them #i would write them but they always ramble away from me #read: my bad wolf rewrite fic of pretty much everythibg and also my modern/human au fic #which features all the incarnations of the Doctor #a fifth doctor au where Adric Nyssa and Tegan are all like 8-12 and it Isn't Fluffy #there's also a Deca fic au I came up with where Theta ends up in the Celestial Toymaker's domain alone and doesn't return #and the aftermath of that #and a fifth doctor era au where Adric Nyssa and Tegan are like 8 - 12 #and the doctor manages to not be a father to any of them #like unironically everyone keeps assuming it and he's like... I'm desperately trying to get these people somewhere safe #when Turlough turns up he's like exactky the same and is like...those are children #and the doctor is like...I am *trying* to get rid of them...to varying degrees of annoyance from the three of them #there's also an au I have where the creation of Jenny goes wrong and she's a very weird child #and also that that episode happens near the beginning of series 2 #also the experiment au and the sibling au two human aus that focus on various incarnations of the doctor #my brain does not stop thinking up these things #Doctor Who #Fae Rambles Into The Void

Listening to Spare Parts and had to stop and TAKE A SECOND because this Frank character really asked NYSSA who she's ever lost. Nyssa.

Aside from the fact that she's having Adric's death thrown in her face over and over due to the cyberman presence here, SHE LOST HER WHOLE PLANET. Every single person she KNOWS. Her father's FACE WAS STOLEN.

I am Fuming on her behalf what do you know Frank. She is so strong for not responding to that.

#wren rambles #doctor who #classic doctor who #nyssa of traken #tbh this shows WHY shes one of my favourites #because she has lost so much but shes still so kind #she's soaked in the grief of her planet and the trauma of her past but she chooses to smile and carry on #she's got every right to be a grieving wreak but she is SO STRONG #and i aspire to be even a little like her in my small trials #but GOSH #'who have you lost' INDEED #how about EVERYONE #legitmately out of all the doctor who companions shes very probably lost the most #she was the last of her kind before the time war even began #Ugh. #love her SO MUCH i need to rewatch her episodes #spare parts #big finish audios #i want two characters to meet the master again in modern who #jo because i think 75 year old jo getting in his face would be hilarious #and nyssa because she deserves to punch him in the face that ISNT ACTUALLY STOLEN FROM HER FATHER
