Update of my Symphony of Sorcery journey: GAAAH OF *COURSE* THEY GAVE RIKU TCHAIKOVSKY. I AM LOSING MY MIND.

Seriously though, guys. This is just me potentially reading far too much into musical intent beyond "hey, we like these pieces and wanted to design a level based off of them" (which is totally valid, but analysis and musical associations with characters is fun!), and here's my disclaimer that these obviously aren't 1:1 comparisons, but giving Beethoven to Sora (the revolutionary kickstarter of the Romantic movement- a fiery, passionate personality, who, mainly prior to his worsening mental/physical health, had many friends. He also struggled with self esteem issues closely related to his musical ability- especially when his deafness encroached upon his craft) (I'm thinking of Sora's devastation of losing his Keyblade in KH1 and Re:Coded, as well as the implied issues I've picked up on regarding his feeling like he isn't good enough in general, and in this game, having seeds planted of doubting the validity of his feelings and experiences.), and giving Tchaikovsky to Riku (Who felt alienated from his homeland from a young age- expressed through his more Westernized musical styles, he was a Romantic-era composer and regarded as very sensitive and closed off. Struggled with being a queer man in 1800's Russia. The works.) (thinking of Riku's "personal experience" line regarding having emotional walls up in the Notre Dame world which occasionally pops back into my head.)

It's just... man. You've gotta love it, y'know?

Anyway, here's some semi-fitting quotes from my little collection:

"I need to believe in myself again, because currently my self-belief is deeply undermined, and it seems to me that my role is finished." - Tchaikovsky, Jan. 28/Feb. 9, 1893 to Modest Tchaikovsky

"Never can I forget the time I passed with you... Continue your friendship towards me, for you shall always find me the same true friend." - Beethoven to Breuning household, Oct. 1, 1797 (iirc, it was supposed to be to this person he tutored in piano and fell in love with but I can't find stuff solidifying that for sure)

"...the beauty of life is that it is made up of alternating joy and sorrow, of the struggle between good and evil, of light and shade; in short, of contrasts within the whole." - Tchaikovsky, Nov. 23/Dec. 5 1877 to close friend and confidant Nadezhda von Meck

^^ This whole letter is just a wonderful read. Discusses concept of an afterlife, quotes I hold near and dear about the importance of music within our lives, etc. ("[Music] is not just a straw in the wind, but a genuine friend, protector and comforter, and it alone makes life worth living." ;_; Gets me every time.)

The plants whisper, like sounds of symphonies, but I cannot understand, what do they say?

Day 7: Dreaming/Waking

#soriku week 2023 #sora #riku #kingdom hearts #soriku #idk I had to draw dream eater riku in some form so tada his tiny wings #also symphony of sorcery because nothing says gay like (gestures broadly at level design) #I had a blast doing these! #i maybe should have started this one before approximately 9:30 pm but oops #teleport warning draws

[recusant-s-sigil]

I would love a sketch of Xehanort (any age)—surprise me with your favorite outfit or design of his! ✨

I’m normal about the time traveler :) gave him the candy earrings because I thought he’d look cute in them

I don’t know if it’s just because I’ve been playing through the Kingdom Hearts franchise on my own but I’ve been having the best time and I haven’t played a game I hated yet.

“Aw well Birth by Sleep-“ It’s so fun

“Oh but Re:Coded-“ It’s really fun

“Then there’s Dream Drop Distance-“ So FUCKING fun

There have been Moments™️ while playing but I haven’t had a single game I legitimately hated. All of them have been fun and felt relevant to the overall franchise - either plot wise or emotional character stories.

I’m staring down at least watching in depth videos of the X Games and Dark Road, finally going to play KH3 for the first time, I’m so happy.

#kingdom hearts #Symphony of Sorcery is my new favorite level of the franchise

[vanibear]

the waltz part in ddds dearly beloved does unspeakable things to me .I love waltzes so so much

#im so sad they didnt use that part for sora & rikus sound ideas in symphony of sorcery #listening to the ddd soundtrack rn .its the peak of tracks that slap and tracks that make me want to sob #kh #kat post

#┊symphony of sorcery | audio; ┈ ✧ #shhhhh leave me alone #the significance of this song has me yelling against my pillow at night ok??

[teamemperor]

dream drop distance really is not a great game if we’re talking mechanics and writing and the (majority) of the worlds but god is it one of my favorite games

#when i say mechanics that does NOT include dreameaters. #dreameaters are one of the best additions to the series. i dont care what gamer men think #im replaying rn and im on tron world FUCK TRON WORLD DIE DIE DIE DIE #symphony of sorcery is one of my alltime favorite worlds so its one of the games saving graces #also the sora and riku scenes are very sweet. but thats an obvious one #oh and ddd’s dearly beloved is my favorite too #i do likethe drop mechanic though it didnt like hinder gameplay reslly and it has plot relevance its cool

[kingdomhearts-and-soriku-trash]

FINALLLLY!!! I FINALLY GOT AN EPIC FANTASY DREAM PIECEEEE!!!

#kingdom hearts #dream drop distance #me playing kingdom hearts #me playing ddd #me playing games #GOSHH!! that took me so long😭. i found one in the symphony sorcery place like YESSSS!!!’ #i might get a few more so I can do my tyranto rex at a higher level. gosh #I’m tired of looking for it like YESSS AND IM EXCITEDDD!’ I finally can get my Tyranto rex. but I’ll probably wait still. i need to find #more. if only I had it still for my DS and I wish I preordered years ago to get one specific card but anyways- #nothing is ruining my mood rn😌.

[maiamaiden]

DDD is definitely a mixed bag for me bc on the one hand it is the soriku game and has the fantasia world which i love and also twewy but on the other hand it has the tron legacy world which is just the worst

#the world selection is pretty weak overall i think besides traverse town and symphony of sorcery #especially coming off of bbs
