#are you good riku

[smovs]

‘Sappy But Sweet’ progress update #2.

now that everything's blocked in, I'm planning to pick just one shot to focus on. potentially as a test to see how feasible it'll be to do more, or else as the only shot that gets fully animated. we shall see...

#might go with the bit where Riku leans on the tree #or Sora's “wouldn't be worth it without you two” line... #or Kairi's laugh #fuck there's too many good ones #credit as always to seth kearsley for his work #kh pilot animatic

Kingdom Hearts Dream Drop Distance - Symphony of Sorcery

#kingdom hearts dream drop distance #khddd #symphony of sorcery #scenery #my gif #i originally planned on splitting this set in two and wanted to create separate posts for both sides of this world #but i was surprised that i struggled with that and many of my shots didn't feel distinct enough when i put them all together #dunno how i messed that up so bad since this world has so much going for it #so i had to scrap a good chunk of what i made but i actually think it looks better this way so maybe it's not such a bad thing #sora's side is on the left (except for the last gif) and riku's is on the right #it gives you a better feel for how varied and different these magical realms are #and yeah that's what they're called #anyways i'm so glad this world exists because it's so experimental and different #everything from the visuals to the music and how sora and riku's battle sounds are instead replaced by more music #as if they're composing it themselves #which of course ties into how they must find and collect their sound ideas #it's all so incredible and works perfectly for a game centering around dreams #i hope we can see more unique worlds like it in future games too

#oh the forbidden expressions !!!! I’m gonna puke !!!! #‘riku I’m scared ! what if a shooting star hits the islands?’ #’if a shooting star comes this way I’ll knock it right back into outer space ! I’ll protect you i promise’ !!!! #kingdom hearts #soriku #sora’s expression oh my go d oh my god #weakly raising his hand a silent plea that is so loud #he has to be so fu cked up from this #this specifically but also watching all of his friends die in less than five minutes #all the people he was supposed to protect. everybody was counting on him to be their hero #and he couldn’t stop any of them from being killed. rapidly. right in front of him #he barely had time to react like oh. my god what a horrible horrible horrible feeling #andd then the last friend left - riku - dies for him. and sora can only sit there paralyzed #ohhhhh. oh. god. i know this fucked him up good

you need some adidas ambassadors? they're your perfect guys

#ts4 #sims 4 #ts4 gameplay #ts4 legacy #tjol legacy #tjolc #tjolc gen 1 #ts4 edit #oscar valenzuela #riku kobayashi #my sims #is this part of gameplay? riku is a model #idk??? but maybe they did this photoshoot first then went jogging #showing those adidas fits you know and then promoting the shoes #i shouldve put him in adidas socks and shorts and also changed oscars shoes. does white even match his outfit? #i randomly picked their athletic outfits what looked good then realised! hey theyre wearing all adidas. adidas ambassadors 😏 #i was inspired so rare little edit from me! and i ran out of gameplay #first one just a casual pic (i like the pose) then second is the shoot #i dont even thinks it right font but eh its looks similar doesnt it

My favorite dynamic are probably friends who are dating because they get to be both

The best of both worlds, a cute friendship dynamic and a cute romantic relationship

And soriku

Yeah they're that.

They are best friends, gonna say it louder for the people in the back who say "oh no a gay pairing why can't they be friends"

But they're also dating

#i choose violence today #friends to lovers #aitsu heart #kingdom Hearts #romance and friendship 🤝 #soriku #yeah it's them #aitsu heart thoughts #late night thoughts #it's late #okay but why is it people say that about mlm or wlw pairings but not any straight ones 🧐🧐 #double standards #yeah what if I just said that about sora and kairi #those toxic shippers will come for me #it's a good thing I'm just an anonymous private account on Twitter #I don't hate soksi btw it's cool and has it's cute moments I just like soriku better and it has more moments for me #Soriku just my personal favorite #I'd say why can't they be friends about Riku and Naminé unless someone is referring to Repliku #now that's the ship I don't really like #I'm sorry if you do #but it's not for me #it bothers me I don't know why #probably because I can't see Riku anything but gay #rambles #aitsu heart rambles

had a funny realization and made this masterpiece

#cindereki #sk8 the infinity #cinderiku #kingdom hearts #reki kyan #sk8 reki #riku #kh riku #cinderella #renga #soriku #hello sk8 fandom sorry not sorry for blessing/cursing you w cindereki again #i've been comparing ships n blorbos and this opportunity was too good to pass up

I really love this scene cause it shows an understanding and it's just so cute

#friends but romantic #soriku #kingdom hearts #manga #kingdom hearts manga #kingdom hearts 2 #kh #sora #riku #kh manga #sora and riku #kh sora #kh riku #I love these two #honestly one of my favorite scenes in the whole series #the moment Sora realizes it's Riku is also good #but once they fight Xemnas until the end of the game is so good #I was jealous of you 😔

[autumn-may]

in honor of mermay I drew riku as one of them fricked up deep sea creachers

#Mermay #mermay 2023 #riku #kh riku #soriku #kingdom hearts #kh #Sorry once again for horrific quality #Also accidentally made a AU while drawing this where soras basically a marine biologist or something #He’s not the best at the science stuff but he’s INSANELY good with the animals and he’s basically the only person that sees anything #He also gives the animals he sees nicknames #Ienzo: there is no way you saw a oarfish human encounters with living ones are incredibly rare #Sora: nah long John and i are homies fr *shows ienzo a selfie he took months ago with a massive oarfish that’s perfectly in frame* #Undescribed

"Looks like I have enough."

Day 2 of definitely following the khtober prompts properly - keyblade

It's such a shame that the part of the fight where Zexion copies Riku's sword and then wrecks shop with it himself isn't a scripted thing and is completely avoidable if you're actually good at the game because it's cool as fuck and everyone needs to know it's a thing that can happen

#kingdom hearts #zexion #KHTober 2023 #KHTober2023 #chain of memories #a *bunch* of his coolest moves in recom can be completely avoided if youre good at the game bc they rely on him stealing your cards first #which meant that for the longest time it was nearly impossible to find footage of any of it #until bioroxas did a video series specifically showcasing the chain of memories bosses #thank you bioroxas i owe you my life #technically soul eater is a sort of proto-keyblade not a real keyblade #but eh #zexion's stance is weirdly hunched over with his left arm held out like that for basically the entire recom fight #he stands up straighter in his kh2fm fight so it's not his default fighting stance #i bet it's because he's dealing with the nasty slash wound riku gave him immediately before the battle #which is INSANE. he's doing ALL THIS with a SLASH WOUND TO THE TORSO #is anyone actually reading these tags #hi #me art #me post #also i did this yesterday #let’s see how long i can stay a day ahead

We are going to finally go and try to chart out / document our system / known parts for our old/current therapist and since we make a lot of organized sheets and stuff for fun I'm sharing a copy of a template for alter information ^^ Feel free to use / make a copy and use on your own and modify and all.

Its BASK + Extra stuff that we find relevant to our system

#alter: riku #actuallydid #dissociative identity disorder #did #osdd #did osdd #system #plural #actuallyosdd #cdd #endos and all can use this if this helps them cause honestly I dont really care #tulpas fuck off though #Still firm on that <3 #willogenic or whatever you are good to use just people who use the term tulpa ^^ #not anti or pro endo #just pro 'hey i made a resource thats not in limited quantity and would rather people use things that help them than promote discourse' #aka mysterious third thing

Wow, I forgot how brutal the shipper bullying is in the fandom. Really discouraging.

#yes im talking about sokai shippers #not all #obviously #but a lot #im not even hardcore soriku #i dont think there will be any canon ships honestly #but i said that and the sokais were just MEAN #sokai #soriku #sorikai #shipping wars #just let me have my gay son #idc if sora reciprocates #but stop bashing riku because you think he “threatens” your ship. good lord #kingdom hearts #drama

IT IS DONE. I can finally rest 😌

This early scene from @inconsistentracoon ‘s ‘Brought Back’ KH fanfic has been devouring all my brain waves since I first read it. I’ve now read the entire 190k+ fic twice 🙃🙃 here’s a link so that you, too, can be consumed by the brainworms:

#this fanfic single-handedly reignited my kh obsession #for real it is sooooo good #fanart #fanfiction #fanfic #kingdom hearts #soriku #sorikai #kh sora #kh #kh riku #kh kairi #destiny trio #kh fanfiction #kh fanart #injury #blood #I miss when the destiny trio wore colors #do you know how many shades of gray I used for this #inkmoose art

Kingdom Hearts Dream Drop Distance - La Cité des Cloches

#kingdom hearts dream drop distance #khddd #la cite des cloches #scenery #my gif #the battle music that plays here creates such a cool and grand atmosphere #i'm so used to spending most of my time in the town or at the cathedral that i forget how dark and gloomy this world can be #sora has to walk past thousands upon thousands of skeletal remains and we don't even get a single cutscene of him reacting to any of it #but i like that there are at least some big open spaces that let you go crazy with flowmotion and climb up the tall buildings and towers #and that you can actually climb up the cathedral from the town square below #but one of my favorite parts in the whole game is playing through riku's side of the story in this world #i love the themes it explores and the insight it provides for his character. so good

“Kingdom Hearts being an epic slow burn gay romance would be incredibly impactful to people both personally and as a landmark in queer representation by extremely popular and established characters. It has decades of legitimate buildup and has the potential to be both incredibly validating to queer fans everywhere and even possibly sway the minds of those who love the characters but may not have much contact or knowledge of queerness.”

and

“The Kingdom Hearts series is honestly kind of unique in its unabashed emotional sincerity. How it treats friendships and non-romantic bonds as being both extremely important and powerful, never giving the impression that friendship is lesser to romance, is depressingly still somewhat of a rarity in media. This is very important and validating to many, particularly aromantics but also most everyone who is just Tired of how friendships and romance are often presented in tiers of importance.”

are concepts that can and should co-exist.

#like i get it. there really is nothing quite like kh when it comes to how it treats the bonds between characters #and the latter is just as legitimate! #but i do think that the people who argue (in good faith) that kh shouldnt make anyone canon- #-are kind of missing the forest for the trees #(i specify in good faith bc we all know the bad faith ones are just co-opting the argument to hide their homophobia) #(and oh boy are *most* of them in bad faith. but i wanna take a sec to talk about this bc there are good faith ones out there) #and what i mean by that is that... well first of all making one ship canon doesn't invalidate all the other examples of stunning displays of #-the power of friendship #second of all i would like you to consider the framing of this #if no ship becomes canon and it's purely platonic for all the OC's... how is it different from any other kids show with no couples? #in terms of representing friendship as not being less than romance? #it's still not bad don't get me wrong. what i'm saying is that media DOES exist #there are shows and books and games out there where there are no couples to speak of #maybe not terribly common but they're out there #but a slow burn epic gay romance where platonic connections are legitimately just as important and powerful? i sure af havent seen it #sora being in love with riku and still willing to sacrifice himself (TWICE) to save kairi... is that not exactly what you want? #to show that the platonic connection is not lesser? that its just as important? #i dunno i've been turning this over in my brain all afternoon thinking about it #stop talking to yourself flight
