information, tag directory, etc

about me

•name's maria! (old internet habits die hard so i also go by peach) and i’m 23.

•i take a long time to respond to stuff and don't respond to everything (sorry)

•i talk a lot and am very passionate about Everything

•i draw sometimes, filed under my art

•my personal talking tag is peach rambles . assume by default everything is ok to reblog or interact with

about my fandoms

•kingdom hearts

brain microwave franchise. especially fond and defensive of the mobile game saga (khux, khdr, khml <-rest in peace). my original posts are tagged khposting!

•pokémon

hardcore for pokelore. the games i’ve played so far include (in order): legends arceus, sv , dppt, bw (used as a catchall for both bw and b2w2), pmd explorers, legends z a, and xy. my original posts are tagged pokeposting! *currently tagging legends z a spoilers as #plza spoilers which you will see in multiple of these tags so filter that tag if you must!*

•the world ends with you as well as its sequel

more dormant these days bc no new content but they're both very important to me. the catchall tag for the franchise is subaseka tag. my original posts are tagged twewyposting!

•okami

what if you were an ouppy. also less active but dude can you believe okami 2 is real. i don't have an original-posts tag yet for this one i need to fix that eventually

•the legend of zelda too buuuuut on my sideblog, @lanayrusandsea. which isn't like super super active anymore but hey. it exists

and other miscellaneous things that come up a few times a year at most

more about blog operations:

•i am not currently reliable with things like content warnings, image descriptions, etc., although i do intend to try to get better at making that a habit. i am reliable with spoiler tags, but only for cases i think they're innately warranted. like a new update in an existing series i already post about (current example being pokémon legends z a.) that said if you want me to tag anything then lemme know

•the new secret promo code for a free drawing is G0LD13. send me an ask with this and i will reply with something i either scribbled in five minutes or think should be in a museum. (eventually... i am literally so sorry i am artblocked at the moment,,,,) it's your reward for actually reading this long annoying post

•i'm not cool i'm kinda just hanging out in my house. blog. bloghouse

•please do not say or send nsfw things to me if you can avoid it. i usually try to avoid posting such things either

anyway thank you so much if you read all this!!! and enjoy your day.

Plot twist: Young Xehanort actually is holding his umbrella over Sora bc it just broke and all the rain is going to pour directly onto Sora’s head.

Sora is clearly having another daily panic attack and YX saw his chance to make his day worse and leapt for it.

Someone probably beat me to this but I haven't seen it yet soo

why does everyone ask “who is Vali” and never “how is Vali”

[goldensunset]

Young Xehanort

Luxord

Vali (?)

Sigurd (?)

Master of Masters

Riku

Yozora

Nameless Star

Ira

Invi

Aced

KH originals who will likely show up for story reasons/are implied to be relevant going forward:

Lauriam

Ven

Vanitas

Aqua

Kairi

Terra

Lea

Isa

Subject X

That's 26 original characters (I might be missing some characters.) If you add confirmed main cast Disney characters like Mickey, Donald, and Goofy, and likely main cast Disney characters such as Maleficent and Pete, that's 31.

My point being, yes it'll be sad if we don't see, say, Roxas or Xion in the next game. However, at the same time...can we really blame Nomura if he decides to bench some people? This is A LOT of characters to juggle already, and there's probably even more new characters that we haven't seen yet.

I think it'd be neat if over the course of the game/his interactions with Sora (and others but mainly Sora) we see Xehanort lose the sort of calm and measured composure he has as Master Xehanort and sort of go back to acting more genuinely like he did in Dark Road. Like, in Dark Road sure YX is a bit stone-faced at times but that's not an act he's putting on or anything he's just not as expressive or adept at social interaction as the others. We see DR-era YX laugh, smile, roll his eyes, cry, mourn, etc. It is only in later versions of Xehanort that he seems to shove all of that back in favor of a more measured/manipulative approach- the main emotions he shows being intentionally played up (to manipulate Terra, for example) or when YMX is being a little shit and taunting Sora. This probably all stems back to what happened in Dark Road- maybe seeing how Baldr became overwhelmed by all the emotions he was feeling/picking up made Xehanort want to completely push all of that away? I don't know, it's been a while since I've watched through DR (or any other cutscenes haha, this is just from memory).

So I think it'd be nice to see that defense "crack" over the course of a hypothetical redemption arc in quadratum. Like, Sora's able to get a genuine laugh out of him, he gets startled by things, he's visibly unsure of what to say or how to approach situations- things like that.

not sure i believe in deltarune tomorrow but i also distinctly remember not believing in deltarune tomorrow when the 2025 direct happened and we all know how that went so now i'm like the dog that has to check the bush every time because there was a pie in there once

[anistarrose]

THERE WAS A PIE IN THE BUSH AGAIN I REPEAT THERE WAS PIE IN THE BUSH AGAIN

[goldensunset]

the reason kh’s cast is so large and bloated is because tetsuya nomura is first and foremost a character designer and new character means new cool picture to draw thank you and good night

[goldensunset]

must a character ‘have lots of screen time’ or ‘contribute irreplaceably to the plot’? is it not enough to aura farm in a sick fit?

[goldensunset]

we’re so back

[goldensunset]

this meeting could’ve been a fated battle in which we both bled to death in the end

[vivi-mire]

HIIII HI HI HI HI HI HIIIIIII HIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII RIYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

HIIIIIIII I MISSED YOUUUUUUUUUUU

[goldensunset]

YOU HAVE MY DISCORD AND HOME ADDRESS ALSO

[didsomeonesayventus]

God the fact nort is offering an umbrella at all is driving me insane. The silent gesture of solace. It's broken and facing the wrong way, but he's offering it anyways. It's pointless and broken and hopeless against the onslaught but he'll offer it anyways.

preserving this comment @theagentofmystery because YESSSS it’s always shown that falling into water is falling away from light/friendship/life but usually it’s into the ocean. but now in a new urban world we’re using rain for darkness instead. maybe there’s symbolism in rain being more subtle in its impact (as opposed to a wave slamming you with water and drowning you) but being much harder to dodge and stay dry of unless you stay inside because it’s everywhere?
