#kingdom hearts 2 #kh2 #sora #riku #my gif #ever since i was a kid i was always so entranced by this limit #it's so intricate and cool #where do i even begin #sora utilizing the power of darkness and shooting it from his hands? love that #then riku takes hold of sora's keyblade and dual wields as they become encased in light and take the shape of huge swords #he swings them then passes them both to sora for him to do the same #then they link arms as a bunch of swords materialize and spin alongside them #it's just such a cool display of the balance between light and darkness #a theme that's so important to the games #and of course there's the fist bump haha

[Image description: Digital KHDR fanart depicting the upperclassmen as chess pieces. At the very bottom of the image are four chess pieces representing Hoder, Heimdall, Sigrun, and Helgi. They are upside down and silhouetted in black against a white background. Above them are two rows of black and white squares forming a chess board pattern. Above that are three pedestals holding up Vali, Vidar, and Vala's chess pieces, with Vidar's piece resting on the tallest pedestal in the middle. Both the chess pieces and the pedestals are silhouetted in white against a black background. Above them is a white heart with Baldr's hand silhouetted in black inside of it. He holds the iconic Kingdom Hearts crown in-between his index finger and thumb, posed to place it on Vidar's chess piece. End image description.]

"I paved a path for him to succeed, if he had only followed it to the end."

#khdr #kingdom hearts dark road #kingdom hearts #kh baldr #kh vidar #making kh art #So to explain the concept: at the end of the game before the final battle Baldr gives a speech where he uses a chess metaphor throughout #And when talking about Vidar in the above quote it brought to mind a chess piece being moved on a set path #from one side of the board to the other. And upon reaching the end getting 'promoted' to a better piece #In the case of checkers: getting crowned as a King. In chess: a Queen or other piece. #Baldr's goal was to get Vidar to summon Kingdom Hearts. And in a way become a 'king'. #Baldr 'captures' the pieces of the upperclassmen and clears the way for Vidar (thus why the bottom pieces are silhouetted black) #Vidar's path is paved with the deaths of his friends #Vali and Vala are of course at Vidar's side but it is Vidar who Baldr is targeting with his manipulation and schemes #khdr spoilers

Off and on, as the Ashe body has allowed, I've been working on some shenanigans. One of these said shenanigans reminds me that I really need to draw some new pieces with Sal and her telescope. 🔭🌌

Which... Also reminds me of these older KH fanfic pieces that I still adore. 💙

2021 Shadowlands fanart.

#world of warcraft #anduin wrynn #Garrosh follows this with something like 'yeah your not but maybe i am' so i sorta take the quote out of context but #I remember Anduin being very upset about the mere idea hes compaired to Arthas #Its always seemed to me that his similarities with arthas are something that lowkey bothers him because so many only see that in him #Of course people hurt by Arthas will be a bit weary of a human boy with blonde hair who claims to champion the light and justice #Especially one who is a prince of an important human kingdom #So its something hes self-conscious of and is keen to prove people he's not destine to fail #Which is why #even if he didn't become another Arthas entirely #what happens in SLs is so much more traumatic to him #He hurt people he cared about #he hurt innocent souls #((and his situation of mind control is more akin to sylvanas' then arthas but does he see that that way? Or do his fears blind his view?)) #And blizz didnt go into detail what this meant but Arthas was used against him literally #My headcanon is that Anduin knew and could feel it and hear arthas in the sword #but in the cinematic anduin is surprised by arthas' soul appearing so canon says anduin didnt know #He dissappers because he is unsure if the bad feelings he felt orignated from him or zovaal or arthas so #prehaps he is afraid that everyone was right to be weary of him #Maybe he didnt end up as arthas at the end of shadowlands but that doesnt mean he can't still go down a dark path #he is afraid he is more capable of becoming an unjust and cruel leader then he thought he could #His people have every right to be upset that he abandoned them #but they dont know that he left because he was afraid he could hurt them and feel joy from it

Fankid art!

Fyi, Vampire Shrimp (Cookie with the plushie) and Charcoal Cheese (Cookie with the goatee) aren't my Ocs! They belong to my pal @quibbs126 ! Choco Taiyaki and Choco Cheese Log are mine!

The art of Vampire Shrimp and Choco Taiyaki is somewhat meant to be a redraw of art I did of them in the past last year. (Since they're both DarkLobster kids) The art is basically Choco Taiyaki introducing Vampire Shrimp to her friends. Quibbs mentioned that Vampire Shrimp is very shy so that's why they're hiding behind Choco Taiyaki.

Now for the art of Charcoal Cheese and Choco Cheese Log (Dark Cacao x Golden Cheese kids) is them in the Dark Cacao Kingdom. (There's no reason why Charcoal Cheese would actually be in the Kingdom according to his lore but eh ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯ )

Also apart of Charcoal Cheese's lore, since his main location is the Parmesan Dessert, I think I'd be funny if Charcoal Cheese would not like the cold one but, even when simply snowing (Quibbs you're free to correct me if this isn't the case) while Choco Cheese Log is basically immune to it since they grew up in the Kingdom and being shirtless 24/7.

..scenario?

Damn a Harry Potter scenario? Um…

Harry : Professor, there’s something I want to talk to you about…

Dark Cacao: If this is about the weapons thing, no I am not changing my mind…since The Dark Lord’s forces have increased in the coming of years and our school was attacked by The Cake Witch, you ought to learn how to defend yourselves other than using magic.

Harry: That’s not why I came to talk to you sir…

Dark Cacao:…? Then what is it? What’s so important that…you three had to come here…

Harry: Three?

*Looks behind him and sees Hermione and Ron, he just sighs*

Harry: Professor…what usually happens when you leave class?

Dark Cacao: I don’t know what you mean?

Harry: It’s just that, everytime you disappear you seemed rather…angry…

Dark Cacao: Pure Vanilla already told you, it was stress, I’ve already had a complaint from Lucius Malfoy and half the board wants me to stop the program just because some rich wizard wants his way…

Harry: Yes but…everytime you do…someone dies…

Dark Cacao:…

Dark Cacao: Are you accusing me of being the murderer?!

Hermione: Forgive me professor but the evidence is hard to dispute…Everytime you disappear someone dies…

Ron: And everyone someone dies, you’re the first to hear the witness discover the body…

Dark Cacao: I did not kill any of my students, I have no grounds or reason-

Harry: Yet somehow you have no alibi and somehow you’re always in places nearby that you don’t normally go to…

Dark Cacao: Potter…

Harry: You can’t continue to deny it anymore…if you’re killing people just admit it.

Dark Cacao stands up: My whole life’s work is to protect students like you! I created a whole programs so that children can defend themselves other than the use of magic! Why would I kill for no reason?

Harry: Because you were angry at them…

Harry: All the students you’ve killed they’ve angered you at least once!

Dark Cacao: That’s just a coincidence!

Harry: When it piles up like that it becomes a pattern! Admit it Professor! You’re the one killing people! You’re working with the Dark Lord!

Dark Cacao: ENOUGH OF THIS INSOLENCE-!

*Turns Berserk*

Sorry I (unintensionally) forgot about my Tangled Dark Kingdom AU ;w; you can read the chapter 1 (and only one orz) here, maybe one day I can continue *gross sobbing*

#tangled #rapunzel's tangled adventure #cassunzel #rapunzel #Eugene Fitzherbert #cassandra #dark kingdom au #tangled the series #tts #rta #wonder if people even remembers this orz #the reason I haven't continued is because I still can't access the files of my old laptop #and I was stupid enough (again) to not save it in the cloud or something #and I believe I was already writting chapter 3 or so #and I don't want to rewrite that because I loved the flow I had #but of course don't remember every single word OTL #herpes me

#khdr #kingdom hearts dark road #kingdom hearts #rambling about dim path #making kh photosets #ch tag: xeh #I feel like this is what was going through Xehanort's head when he said these lines #Player's death was inevitable and so Xehanort had no choice but to move on #He left the island behind and took the first step toward new worlds...new experiences...new relationships #If he could do it then so can Vor. Is what he thinks. #He's giving her advice based on his own experiences with change and separation #Of course Eraqus doesn't understand why Xehanort would say this. Xehanort never talks about his past. #And Eraqus has yet to come face to face with the inevitability of change. So he insists that Vor doesn't have to worry about it #Xehanort knows better though. He can't lie to Vor about something like this. Blissful ignorance won't help her in the end. #But Xehanort isn't entirely right either. He's way too quick to suggest discarding relationships in service of the new. #Unfortunately Vor won't realize the balance she needs to strike until it's far too late #khdr spoilers #long post

Kingdom Hearts really is the wildest shit [affectionate] sometimes though like, it's so sincere and heartfelt and so I totally forget sometimes about what kind of wacky Who Framed Roger Rabbit logic this series operates under, right. I just don't notice it. And then I suddenly remember that in one game two different characters get banished to The Void for a decade and one of them is a Jedi anime girl going through the most devastating, existential Dante's Inferno nightmare after making a crushing choice to sacrifice herself for a friend, and the other is Pete the Cat who is getting punished by Minnie Mouse for cheating at Go-Karts.

#Kingdom Hearts #this only came up for me because i am playing Isa as a very serious character on a personified panfandom rp board #and i suddenly had to justify why this very serious character with a really dark backstory was suddenly just not bothered by like #his best friend in this setting getting comedy slapstick stabbed because she is Zagreus Hades and like that's how Hades is #and i had to be like oh because this dude is from Kingdom Hearts #the game where Donald fucking Duck gets literally flattened by a door in the first four hours of the series #of course he can just cognitive dissonance away that this woman is a cartoon character so it's fine lmao #very weird experience for me though

Silly Funny Idea

After Dark Enchantress turns back to the side of good/becomes White Lily again, she has to deal with the fact that she has become a maternal figure to the Cookies of Darkness. So we’ve got an ex-villainess trying desperately to help her kids adjust to the fact that ‘no, we aren’t doing evil things anymore we are doing nice things’ and they just...aren’t doing it. Pomegranate is still 100% on the idea that this is all within DE/Lily’s plan to conquer the world, Red Velvet fucking launches anyone who DARES look at the cakes wrong, Licorice is still trying to prove that he’s an ‘asset to the dark’ and causes havoc, Poison Mushroom is on board with doing good...but they literally have no idea what the fuck that means so they just cause shroomie shenanigans. The other Ancients do their best to help, but it’s kinda hard when Pomegranate keeps trying to fucking kill them and Licorice’s very existence is like an existential crisis for Cacao. Dark Choco pops in to vibe every now and then, mostly just wanting to see how poorly everything is going and thriving in the fact that he got out of this bullshit when he did. 

#cookie run kingdom #dark enchantress cookie #white lily cookie #cookie run #pomegranate cookie #red velvet cookie #licorice cookie #poison mushroom cookie #the ancients #dark choco cookie #lily is just desperately trying to reform the kids who she kinda adopted and did evil shit with #and they just will not go along with it #Pomegranate: Master it was so wise of you to fool the ancients into thinking you are their friend again #White Lily: Oh my god for the LAST TIME THERE IS NO PLAN WE ARE JUST HAVING LUNCH #Pomegranate: Of course of course...so who are we poisoning first?

#dark cream week #dark cream #crossover #my little pony #so the story behind shattered in this crossover is basically like #Dream had a war to fight and he joined because he didn‘t think anything would go wrong #his kingdom HAD won. but in the last minutes Dream was attacked #injured - with no horn and wings - they left #they of course won the war still #but what good is an alicorn that can neither fly nor use their magic? #Dream was shunned and disowned. a disgrace to his family. #so he changed. #he became merciless. he trained his soldiers hard and if they died it was only a reminder of how cruel he‘d become #people started fearing him. Dream did not care. eventually Dream was called Shattered instead #he accepted this #ruling under a new name and with the help of Swap; Cross and Lust he was now one of THE strongest rulers among the folk #and one of the most dangerous and merciless ones as well #(Cross‘s story stayed mostly the same xd just that his chara never joined his body in a way?) #yeah #my little pony x utmv #shattered dream #cross sans #cross x dream #dream x cross #shattered dream x cross #shattered x cross #pony version #but anyway #yes Shattered and Cross are booping #and Shattered also has a soft spot for Cross Cheri(Lust) and Swap
