This is a silly post but I just wanted to share that teepublic is currently having a sale so all of the things in my storefront are discounted! All shirts are $16 usd, which honestly isn't too bad even after shipping imo

Idk I appreciate when they have sales like this but I missed them a lot until I started selling through there, so I wanted to let people know! The sale is site wide so it's worth it to look around for something!

#oops ive only bought things from there when theyve been on sale #but the shirts are nice #mint rambles

So, wasn't there something weird about Player?

So, its been almost two years since KHUX wrapped up, and there's something I'm still thinking about.

Isn't it odd, how Player didn't speak for such a long time in Kingdom Hearts χ? It took almost fifteen months for them to speak their first words during Ephemera's introduction.

But, while its easy to say its because Player is supposed to be a silent protagonist, that gets less and less true as the game went on.

Player has quite the speech during Quest 555, or Quest 979, for example. Player certainly has things to say, and certainly makes choices beyond what we, the audience, would choose for ourselves.

So then, why is Player so quiet, especially at first?

Well, Kingdom Hearts has an example of this before.

Xion.

I don't think Player had a heart, before Quest 362. More than that, I don't think they were a nobody, since the timeline on that makes no sense.

I think Player is a replica.

Puppet Without a Heart:

First off though, lets break down why I believe Player doesn't have a heart for a second.

The first time Player speaks, its to Ephemera. But what I haven't mentioned is that Player has interacted with keyblade wielders before that.

Right before that, in fact, by the standard of KHUX. In Quest 231, Player has a short interaction with another set of wielders, where they don't talk at all.

The quest goes about standard with Player hunting some new heartless along with some other wielders. They all promise to meet up, afterwards.

But, unfortunately, they don't make it back.

(They certainly have a bad history with 'promises.')

I think this, along with all of their other adventures (Olympus in particular we'll be getting back to), was the inciting incident for their heart coming into life.

As Ansem the Wise said, "The heart has always been quick to grow. Each exposure to light, to the natural world, to other people, shapes this most malleable part inside of us." This is true of nobodies, but its even faster in replicas.

So if Player's a replica, why are they a replica? Who made them?

Easy.

If you are going to tell me Master of Master's wouldn't make replicas, I don't know what to say.

And he clearly he has some capabilities. looking at Chirithy.

But then, wouldn't every wielder be a replica then? Well, I don't know about that. For one thing, we clearly have some families in the wielders, looking Laurium and Strelitzia.

No, I think Master of Masters made only the one replica.

Player... and in doing so, sowed the seeds for the Nightmare Chirithy.

I Said We'd Get Back to Olympus

So, Master of Masters, when it comes to gaslighting and manipulating his students, truly leaves nothing to chance. He leaves lots of other things to chance, but not that.

So when he told everyone there was a ~nightmare Chirithy~, surely he'd already set that into motion.

But, as far as we can tell, when wielders go dark, most of them don't get a Nightmare, they fall. And, disappear immediately after.

So there's only the one Nightmare Chirithy: ours.

And they have a connection to the Foretellers, that never really got expanded upon.

But then, how did Master of Masters guarentee that we'd gain a Nightmare?

Well, Player explored the worlds, was exposed to people, light... and darkness. Olympus, and its darkness, also happens before we meet Ephemera, and we develop our heart.

Darkness is as much a part of our heart as any modern character. And thus, we have Nightmares.

....that said, I think that's the extent of his manipulations on Player.

The Book of Prophecies, very clearly, doesn't write down everything, and I'm not sure Luxu ever really heard about Player in detail.

For Luxu, our story is that of a background NPC. Player's choices, and their refusal of fate, goes unwritten.

The way the story ends for Player is different than the Book, because Master of Master's never foresaw their bonds.

So everything changed.

Except that, well, Player is still a replica.

I have no idea what effect this will have on the future of the games, but the subtext and foreshadowing is so clear I'm not sure why I've never read this theory from others before!

Anyways, replica!player forever! Have a good day!

I feel like your art is like a nice warm blanket, a kiss on the forehead, a bowl of fruits, and gummiebears.

So snuggly, the way you draw characters so pocket-sized. So travel sized. Like I could pick them up in my hand and carry them wherever I go.

Such a delight.

That’s such a nice way to put it, thank you so much ??? I always get giddy whenever I learn that my art comes off warm and comforting.

Thank you for being around!

People should bring back the phenomenon of mentioning "chatrooms" in hushed tones like they're this big dark scary thing you'll run into on the internet full of pedophiles and the like.

Oh god, ok, in Gem's empires episode: so, Gem mentioned to Sausage and Pix that she can consciously travel across dimensions and that she remembers hermitcraft and empire's s2, and that she's "playing a role" when she's princess Gem or elf Gem. Does this mean she could remember the first season of empires and she's just not saying anything since that wouldn't fit her role in story as a princess of a kingdom?

Hello friend!

I saw you're going through a lot, and I want to offer my condolences to you and hope everything ends up okie even if it's not. Your art is so silly and genuinely has cheered me up out of mental funks before (I work in the medical field, and legit, your comic with Kalim and Jamil has made me laugh my tears away during a shoddy shift) so you absolutely deserve the same energy back 🙏🏼❤️

Stay safe, you're loved and cherished by others and deserve to thrive even if it doesn't feel like it. ✨️

Thank you so much 😭😭 this is such an incredibly sweet sentiment and I'm so genuinely happy that my art has cheered you up and made you smile 💕 more than anything the thing I've wanted as an artist is to make people smile, and any time I can feels like a dream come true

I'm currently back living with my parents for the time being, which has been a lot better than I anticipated. I no longer have my job sadly but I'm incredibly fortunate to be able to just rest for a while after everything got chaotic

I have some emotional worries and wounds that I'm dealing with, but I'm incredibly lucky that I have friends helping me through things, as well as kind people like you who have wished me well and offered me kind words

Sorry I got sentimental, I've been having a weird couple of days so this was incredibly sweet to hear 💕💕
