so my corinthian post is going around again, and on rereading it something occured to me

so, he's asked at the cereal convention where the name comes from

and the leather line, that's just a joke, but the first two both reference the city of corinth (which was greek, not roman, it had a history long before the roman empire)

which, as i discussed in that post, ancient greece is around when the corinthian was created

and im not an expert on greek history, but from what i know, corinth was a very rich city, and had the ability therefore to invest in art and trade alongside military pursuits, it was very frequently visited by foreigners, and became known as both a lavish travel destination, and like the above kinda says, a place to indulge in whatever weird kinky possibly illegal shit you wanted to, without having to bring that home with you

which certainly paints a picture of what kind of person is from there

(i do also wonder about him being so clearly american, despite having been created long before america was what it is today, and whether he over the centuries has gravitated to whichever culture he feels is representing that best)

and like, to a modern audience, like the other collectors, corinth seems like a really obscure reference to name yourself after, and is suitably mysterious

but back when the corinthian was created? that shit was contemporary

dream was not being subtle in the slightest

he created what he saw at the time as his most perfect nightmare, ever hungry, a reflection of all of humanity's darkest impulses, the ones they want to keep hidden, even from themselves

and he basically called him "the man from sin city"

like that's his name

dream. oh my god.

#do you think cori is glad people don't immediately get the reference so he gets to be mysterious #or do you think he misses the time when that was a name everyone would understand #the sandman #the corinthian #dream of the endless #mine #meta

am giggling thinking about s1!jack a man with a pretty incredible sexual appetite being Completely Unnerved by phryne having an even more incredible appetite than him ‘how is that even possible’ awestruck and inspired s1!jack probably

relatedly the s3 line 'you know what it's like when you think life is fleeting and you might die at any moment' is such a Good bc it’s a stereotypical guy thing to say at least in mainstream media but in reality, women really do be having the same Problem with this as men

#robbo’s constant half mast salutes you miss fisher #jack and phryne marathoning is my dream e-rated fic like can't stop won't stop #jack x phryne #miss fisher's murder mysteries #mfmm #phryne fisher #jack robinson

Part 1 of shows I thought were fever dreams but are apparently not

A miss mallard mystery: was a show about a ducktective and her nephew travelling the world and solving crimes.

2. Tara Duncan: Tara and her friends, Cal the thief and Sparrow the princess who turns into a beast, are all a part of the Alpha team. They fight threats from the OtherWorld, while balancing the challenges of high school life.

3. Stoked: is a show about a group of surfers who meet one another at a resort whilst working there during the summer.

#a miss mallard mystery #tara duncan #stoked #fever dream #shows that are lodged deep in your subconscious fr #childhood shows #btw I wrote the plot summaries from memory mostly so don’t get mad if it isn’t what you wanted #tv shows #tv recommendations #teen shows #kids shows #murder mystery #urban fantasy #surfing

You ever make up a bunch of people in your dream and wake up like aw. They don’t exist. Come back :(

#I miss you unnamed pregnant trans man protagonist + wife #I miss you mysterious tiny samurai girl of the wind #(this dream was a Lupin iii movie I wish existed and I can't describe any of it bc it's fading :)))#the unnamed protagonist had some people come after him from his past and he was forced back into (insert cartel type shit here)#while pregnant. this was very upsetting yet very compelling #sorry to go on about this but I don't wanna forget #it was very. mature and mellow? Jig and Lup tended to this guy when the (insert cartel-like bad guys) hurt him #then switched places with him in disguise #idk there was some part where Jigen got hit in the head and forgot everybody and went attack mode #this was all in some old rural japanese mostly-empty village #anyway idk then it went weird with some (adorable) samurai clan who could vanish underground and were like airbenders or some shit #cagliostro calm-Lup vibe. He growed up and he look after you :)#anyway I wanna draw the characters they were cool looking. nameless had nice hair

Thank you for such an in depth response, I feel honored by it and that I was able to inspire you about the concepts and I agree. I had similar thoughts about the theming of Sora’s name and him being the void of space. Even had musings of how in primordial myths the heavens (sky) and the earth are considered the couple that brings about the first forms existence. Gaia and Ouranos and on the Egyptian mythos there was a love story of Geb (earth) and Nut (sky) although interesting enough geb and nut are kept separated by Ra (the sun).

But regardless, I’d say nomura is quite interesting and impressive to consistently yet subtly equate riku to that of deity so easily. Yes, I believe in riku being a dia in some sort. Probably kingdom hearts sending out an avatar to grow, or the king to kh reincarnated, or some other thing I can’t quite grasp right now but overall with the ending of the series hopefully not too much farther in our lifespan. This is why I enjoy reading and interacting with metas and theories especially about sora and riku and soriku because I said in a comment in a YouTube video that discussed the sleeping real theory and I said it feels like we have the right answers but just not forced into the right shape (a key perhaps 🫣) to unlock the final gate.

Riku has always had all those "subtle" visual shorthands used to denote super special celestia mystery powers (etc) but, like the Subtly OP antics of the Disneytowners (e.g. Donald casually casting the Boss-level spell 'Flare', Goofy tanking hits from Literal Deities with 1 shield & no apparent magic of his own), Riku looking "anime" gets brushed off as "standard JRPG aesthetic".

Naturally silver-haired youths in anime tend to be Plot-Relevant, typically having ☆Super Special Bloodlines☆, typically being Secret Royalty &/or related to Angels or Spirits.

(and it WAS suspiciously easy for Riku to just... BECOME Sora's Dream Eater, especially given what we know of the Chirithy spirits, their abilities to act as psychopomps, & whatever the Dream Eater crafting system in DDD may imply about Dream Eaters as a whole)

From what I can recall, the only naturally silver-haired characters original to KH are:

Riku

Ephemer

Xehanort (confirmed descendant of Ephemer)

Xemnas (Terranort)

Ienzo (taken in by the Always Sus Ansem the Wise, origins unknown)

From the Final Fantasy side of the crossovers, we have Setzer (who only appears in the DATA Daybreak Town, not the "real" one) and... Sephiroth.

For being such an "anime" JRPG, Kingdom Hearts is pretty sparing in its use of Anime Hair Colours. Aqua & Isa's blue hair aside, the colour palette is fairly "natural": pale blonds & yellows, oranges & pinks amongst the reds, browns & blacks. There aren't many characters old enough to have "grey" hair but the ones that do are ALSO fairly mysterious: Merlin, Fairy Godmother, Master Yen Sid, Zeus... Kairi's Mysteriously Knowledgable Grandmother (who i am, like, 75% convinced was a retired Princess of Heart). Even the "silver/white" House of Duck are all Very Suspicious: Donald is, canonically, the most powerful Black Mage of the FF franchise; Scrooge & Donald's Nephews casually worldhop for fun & profit as if they were Moogles or something.

So, yeah, even Riku's "anime boy" aesthetic is itself pretty Telling of Riku being Plot-Relevant. He's canonically part-spirit, after DDD, but his ability to do that at all IS unprecedented (just like his ability to Balance Light & Darkness within himself, like his Light being equated with the Sun, like his easy grasp on using Darkness...). Whatever the KH-universe equivalent of an "angel" may be, Ephemer & Riku seem closest to it. That Riku met JOSHUA (himself a kind of Gay Angel) in DDD does not seem at all a coincidence.

oh! there's also that whole [terra] sigil thing! Riku's costume/keyblade designs imcorporate it (i forget how) & THAT sigil is probably the in-universe namesake for Terra, the character. Rather than [earth] or [land], the [terra] sigil seems older & is likely referencing an "[original/first] earth" or mean "[land of origin]".

It makes me wonder whether Riku's parent/s were themselves Aware of Other Worlds? If he's a relative of Xehanort, it's plausible that Xehanort's Skuld-resembling mother learned about Xehanort's ending up at the Destiny Islands & their family possibly moving to the World in hopes of a reunion. Which... would mean they weren't just AWARE of Other Worlds but ALSO capable of traveling between them. This is probably going to Come Up in Missing Link.

#kh meta #riku is the light #riku is the child of destiny #riku is a special special boy #kh ephemer #white haired anime pretty boys are always sus #idk who setzer is but sephiroth is exhibit a of silver hair being sus #idk if sephiroth is naturally silver-haired but he has it NOW and he is scary & god-like #i can see young xehanort happening across sephiroth and going “are we related”#who the heck is ienzo anyway #kairi's mysterious grandmother #dream eater riku #missing link tell us your secrets

If you miss a meeting I was stressed about I should be allowed to trample u like a horse, i think

#personal #6 minute window for a meeting and they were busy the entire fucking time so i missed my slot #i am so stressed about the lectures and tutorials that I forget or straight up don't have it in me to attend #that the fact i made it to a meeting I'd had stress dreams about and it's still gonna seem like i fucking skipped it? INFURIATING #there were like 2 different guys i could have had the meeting with but u dont get told where they are so thats a fun little mystery for you #only found one of them. he was already in a meeting #and the amount of time i spent searching for the other guy? fully missed my slot #I'm pissed man i fucking tried
