Me when the themes and motifs connect in my brain

[excusemewhileiplaykh]

So in a technical/ metaphorical sense, Riku’s Heartless and Nobody (Repliku and Ansem SOD) are gone, so is he “recompleted” in a way? When the other Org members were recompleted (Larxene, Marluxia, and Luxord), they regained lost memories. Did something similar happen to Riku?

So..... Those Strelitzia and Naminé parallels, huh?

Who did we last see Streli with again?

Was anyone going to tell me that Scala's Day Break mural had five stars or was I supposed to find out myself?

[thetwilightroadtonightfall]

They’re also exactly the same stars that were around Daybreak Town’s fountain :)

Ah, so I was right, Ephemer is very sentimental :D

Okay so you know how Kingdom Hearts acronyms like to reference computer and internet terms right? CoM as in dot com, BBS as in bulletin board system, UX as in user experience, etc.

Well I was thinking about Land of Departure. And how it acronyms to LoD. Which, in video game terms, tends to mean "level of detail", referring to how the amount of detail on a 3D model changes depending on how far away the player/camera is from it. The further away you are from something, the less amount of detail and polygons that are rendered, because large amounts of detail are no longer necessary at that distance to create a convincing impression of an object, and it would be a waste of resources otherwise.

In relation to the Land of Departure, the first thing that comes to mind is how LoD is positioned as this isolated world between light and dark, a tiny castle on a lonely expanse of high-up mountains seemingly cut off from most things with only four people living there. A simple, minimal existence.

The second, more compelling thing that comes to mind is how LoD might very well be the last remnant of Scala, a small piece of that once large and sprawling world that has now lost much of the scope and detail it once had. Scala's history is one of a diminishing entity. A world slowly eroding like a coastline. Information and eras lost to time. Memories fuzzy around the edges. You don't need an entire society, an entire city, filled with detail and complexity if there are no longer people there to witness or make use of any of it.

What isn't necessary anymore has been removed for optimization.

SCALA IS A CODING LANGUAGE

nomura

edit: WAIT THERE'S MORE. scala (the programming language) was built specifically to be changed to keep up with user needs. sound familiar to kh scala perhaps?

I think playing the sims would be good for saix and vanitas because saix could micromanage everyone and vanitas could put xehanort in a pool and delete the ladder 1000 times. riku actually did play until the sim versions of him and sora fell in love and he panicked so hard he deleted the game forever

I love to be delusional as much as the next person but genuinely some of us on here need to revisit the source material and read the words on your screen and then process those words and chew on those words and go ah yes this is the canon material that is factual and then also read between the lines for the implications because sometimes: things will not be spelled out for you and this is called engaging in media

[monoshiki]

Yeah

[masteraqua]

fuckkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk

KINGDOM HEARTS III (2019) SORA: So, what? You're worried about me now?

[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.
