#kingdom hearts 2 #kh2 #the world that never was #scenery #my gif #i wish to know the significance of this building #yes it looks very cool but i always felt like there was more to it #it's called memory's skyscraper and we see two significant battles take place here #one with sora vs xemnas in some sort of alternate plain where there's nothing but a void while they fight at the base of this building #and one with riku vs roxas with riku fighting for sora's memories and roxas fighting in memory of xion #which has significance to the name of the building #i can't help but raise an eyebrow to how the 358/2 days novel refers to it as a facade of a buliding #what does that mean... what is this place #OH and something in ddd happened here too. sora had a distant memory of himself riku and aqua from the past #HMM.. #oh and i like how there's a truck that smashed into the side of the building and is left there still running with the lights blinking #which organization member did that

Hiiiii :3

So I'm starting to read more Asian bl novels thanks to a friend and she recommended me omniscient reader view and you're the only mutual that I know that has read it and I know 0 things about it, any thoughts that you would like to share? 👀

It is really going to make me cry to death?

I hope you have a good day 💖

This ask filled me with an unfathomable amount of excitement, but it also made me laugh really, really hard, because while I would never say it's wrong to call omniscient reader's viewpoint an "asian BL novel," it's kind of like... Hm. Hindu trying to think of a sufficiently funny joke about the bible here and failing. Basically: yeah, that's in there, but holy shit are you both underselling and underestimating it by saying that :)

I've answered questions about orv tons of times (see my best attempt here), but I am quite literally always happy to do so again!! I'll start with this: Since we're both tma fans, I think you are going to LOVE the apocalypse orv presents, especially its tragic themes on voyeurism and privacy and silent bystanders/watchers, self-sacrifice and suicide, and women who kill. You are also going to love kim dokja for his brand of sopping-wet pathetic bisexuality, but that was a given.

Orv is technically brilliant-- it renders its themes unto you like an obsidian knife-- but it's also INCREDIBLY funny, and although it has a convoluted timeline and a complex plot, it WILL hold your hand as you go through it. Its characters are so three-dimensional they literally jump off the page (how's that for a meta joke), and they WILL live in your brain forever after reading the novel. They're inescapable. And on that subject: YES, ORV WILL MAKE YOU CRY. It made me cry while I was reading it for the first time, multiple times, and it still makes me cry! Almost weekly! And I do not cry at things!!! This book fucks you up so so bad and you will kiss its feet and thank it for the privilege!!!

I really hope that makes sense, I have so much I want to and could say and absolutely no way to express it coherently, I just hope this is sufficient to keep you interested!! Thanks so much for the ask, I hope you're doing great!!!! 💜💜💜

#HIII!!! sorry this took so long to get to; i was saving up the juice for a good response!! i hope you've been well in the meantime :DDD #i should also say that orv is a REALLY queer novel #but there are some very off-putting instances of transmisogyny in the novel; i will gladly go into detail if needed #there's also a trigger list for orv somewhere without any spoilers! #asks #little-lamb-lyosha #kay talks #seriously this was such a nice ask to get!! ily!! mwah!! #at this rate i should make a personal tag for reccing orv aklaksjdh #<- edit from the future: LMAO #orv rec tag

I am but a measly 2:00:15 into the genre-defining "Riku is Gay" video, but like. Damn, Tennelle Flowers is a cinematic genius. I've remained so thoroughly enthralled by the tasteful spacing of audio commentary, clips from the games, and excerpts from the novels/writer interviews that I've hardly even noticed the time passing. What is this video laced with, man- I love video essays, but usually I have to rewind a gazillion times due to my attention slipping against my will.

That collage of comparison clips from KH2 Beast's arc and Riku's KH1-KH2 arc is killing me, man. Ever wish you could tattoo a part of a video to your forehead? Apparently, now I do.

#and like AAAA they Get it! #the KH1 displacement and insecurity #Riku seeing Xion as Sora #It's still not explained how Riku was able to remember Sora despite all of his other connections getting amnesia but loool- #ain't the world just FULL of unexplained mysteries #AND DON'T GET ME STARTED ON THE COM NECKLACE THING #I also was like “huh- that memory can't have happened because Kairi wasn't at the islands before the meteor shower” so I figured it was #that maybe it was just fake but I wasn't SET on that- y'know? so like- the idea it was a Sora&Riku memory was so good #that bit about Riku originally meant to give Sora a charm in relation to the design of Oblivion being Sora's crown sealed the deal for me #and the novel excerpts are generally insane holy guacamole you don't just WRITE that stuff man #also they're (Tennelle Flowers) is just generally a wonderful narrator to listen to and I am rediscovering that after like 8 years or sm #from when I used to check out their Warriors stuff #anyway yeah can't wait to get to the ddd section- this is already third-eye-opening material- I'll probably just explode then #'Sora at the end of my outstretched hand was more important than anything else' #ARE YOU KIDDING ME #SHIT READS LIKE FANFICTION #kingdom hearts #sora #riku #kingdom hearts meta #soriku

[winterwafers]

in some of the light novels king dedede is portrayed a little too mean imo, but thankfully more often than not, thats my guy yeah<3

the kirby fighters novel like... he’s been possessed so many times and must hate losing control like that, but he still put on the other dark mask when meta knight got possessed so mk wouldn't have to ‘face that darkness alone‘ godd

#spoilers #kirby light novels #kirby #king dedede #meta knight #metadede #these were quick and messy #but im rereading the kft2 novel and #i just love him sm #maybe ill clean these later #rn just ddd appreciation #winterwafer art #id tag all the stories but thats a lot of typing #if you kno you kno

[isan0rt]

So I'm not actually sure if I was supposed to take "Master Odin changed his name to Yen Sid when he fucked off and retired" from Eraqus's line about Odin's intention to "leave Scala and settle down in some cozy little world" but it sure is what I took away from that line.

And lmao like if that's the intent, then that sure puts some new context to Yen Sid in kh2 being like 'I'll just leave out the true nature of Nobodies so Sora doesn't end up feeling sorry for them and deciding not to kill them like I need him to," doesn't it.

#kingdom hearts #khdr #khdr spoilers #tbh i went back and read the DDD novel after khux to look for foreshadowing #given that novel was published six months after kh3 came out so o figured could have Dark Road foreshadowing #and it sure doesn't CONTRADICT the idea that Yen Sid was Xehanort's teacher so #i straight up am considering this canon until proven otherwise #Odin/Yen Sid stop making teenagers do your dirty work #kill your fallen students yourself you coward

[dreamcast-official]

anyway. soriku thoughts in my brain. i might try to draw something abt it tomorrow.

#eli.txt #probably ddd related if at all #i should re-read the ddd novel actually. it is literally in my home i can just pick it up

[a-s-t-a-r-i-o-n]

gonna read this tonight for the first time. i hope it’s as gay as the game

“I can’t imagine how painful and sad it must be to go through life with your heart locked away. You can’t follow your heart and live the way you want.”- Sora being so worried about Quasimodo, all these very pointed allegories to being gay and in the closet, not being able to show your heart to others, and then they make it extremely clear how much Riku is a Quasimodo parallel and keeps his own heart locked away I just

Soriku in Novels Part 4 — DDD

Part 1

Part 2

Part 3

Part 5

The cricket's question made Riku think of Sora. Of course, Riku couldn't tell him everything, but Sora was still a friend with a special place in his heart.

"Yeah... actually I do." Riku closed his eyes and imagined Soras's face for a moment, then looked at Pinocchio and Jiminy. "That stupid grin he's always wearing— he's the best teacher I could ever have."

DDD novel — Riku's side.

I loved this scene during the game and it was clear in DDD he's so gay and he loves Sora so much. A big part of DDD in my perspective was being able to accept yourself/forgive yourself of the darkness of the past and maybe someday open himself up to Sora about his feelings.

And here it shows Sora has a special place in his heart... He definitely likes him. I love how he imagines Sora in the scene, I mean I thought he was thinking of Sora BUT TO EXPLICITLY SAY he imagined Sora's face is another thing.

"He saved me. But you two are nothing alike." Shiki leaned in close to Sora's ear and whispered, "You know, Neku and Riku are really similar."

"Huh?". Surprised, Sora looked at Neku.

Now that you mentioned it, I can see it. They're both a little prickly sometimes, but they have a heart of gold underneath.

"Wh-why are you staring at me..?" Neku returned Sora's gaze uneasily.

"Yeah, you may be onto something."

DDD NOVEL — Sora's Side

This is a nice section that shows a comparison between the characters. Shiki notes how Sora and Riku are nothing alike, but Neku is quite similar to Riku. It's not that Soriku filled, but it's nice to see the comparison with Neku who ends up in his actual game accidentally trading Shiki (who's very important to him/ with no memories at that) to continue to survive another round to be able to return to life.

Also I'd imagined Riku getting flustered if someone stares at him because of one of the kh2 novel states that Riku always won sword fights, but Sora won starring contests. HE PROBABLY GETS FLUSTERED.

"I won't hold back, and I won't underestimate you. I give everything I have to set you free. I was always jealous of you, Sora. I used to feel it all the time, and I'd be lying if I said I didn't still. I believe that feeling was darkness, but now I know it's not.

The truth is, it gave me strength, and so did having someone to challenge me. Light and Darkness are perfect compliments of each other — the shadows are always greatest next to the dark. I know what that means now, truly. When those dark feelings come over you, only your heart can decide whether to let them sink deeper into the darkness or to bring them out into the light of the sun.

Accepting both is what it means to have a heart. It gives us strength. Even a form of pride, in a way. I don't think anyone can honestly say it's not. Same with wanting to be stronger. Joy and Sorrow, Anger and Hatred— whether those feelings become your light or your darkness is for you to decide.

The strength of your darkness is what allows you to choose. That's why I choose to let the light shine onto my own darkness. And Sora that's you."

DDD Novel — Riku Side

I made a post on just this entire statement Riku made before but I had to include it, it's so gay. He's comparing dark and light to him and Sora. He says Sora is his light. He accepts both light and Darkness and because of that it's strength and some sort of pride... Maybe gay pride 🧐🧐🧐

But he realizes his jealousy made him stronger and just shows his development of how he is with darkness and how he is with Sora.

#kingdom hearts #kh #soriku #kingdom Hearts novels #soriku in novels #riku #sora #dream drop distance #dream drop distance novel #ddd novel #that one big gay statement by Riku makes me insane #Sora has a special place in his heart awww #Riku imagines Sora's face in the novel #because the last one is really long I will make another part with COM AND KH1 stuff

I need to buy the KH novels I haven't yet, as well as the KHIII mangas that are out so far.

#i'm sad that i've let my khiii book collection go incomplete. i used to be so good about keeping it up to date #but i actually started forgetting which of the novels i had and didn't have (because they're not on my book shelf and are in various #places. i need more book shelves...) #and. if i'm being honest. the books i don't have aren't exactly my favorite games in the series and i knew i could wait to read them #and as for the khiii mangas i think i was waiting for more than one to come out (like quite a few. or maybe all of them in english) before #i bought them. so i could read them all in one go. and i don't think they're all out yet of course. but i know a few are now and that's #good enough for me to start #and basically the kh pilot has made me kh obsessed again and catching up on my kh reading will give me something to do so here we go #but the novels i still need are coded ddd and khx i think #also i bought my uncle all the kh novels and mangas as a christmas gift one year. and somehow that confused me and made me forget what #i'd bought for him and what i actually own #but yeah. like i said. i think i'm just missing the coded ddd and khx novels and all of the khiii mangas that are out so far
