steven universe ๐น๐ ร ๐๐ kingdom hearts AU
what if there was a crossover between two elitist pretentiouscore kid-friendly franchises with immaculate vibes inspired by 90s-00s aesthetic... ๐
I designed these back in 2018 and I'm still very fond of them! I actually have designs for the rest of the gems too, but had no time to actually render them out ๐ญ I even have the entire KH1 opening boarded... please send me questions about kingdom universe lore if you're curious!

[Image ID: Characters from Steven Universe dressed in Kingdom Hearts-inspired outfit designs.
Left: Connie bears a cheerful expression and is holding Rose's Sword akin to Sora's likeness in his key art from Kingdom Hearts 1. She is wearing overalls from the cartoon, but modified with Nomura-esque character design flairs, like belt straps holding Rose's Scabbard, fanny packs, and gloves and zippers adorning her overalls. Her arms and legs are also wrapped with bandages, and there is a stylised rose adorning the flap of her shoes.
Middle: Steven is smiling and doing peace signs. He is wearing a pink sweater with his signature star-pattern shirt and jean shorts from the cartoon. His sweater has multiple zipped pockets. He is wearing a belt across his sweater, with suspenders hanging from his belt. His signature flip-flops have been stylised into strappy sandals with socks.
Right: Amethyst is brandishing her Keyblade over her head with her other arm outstretched, mimicking Riku's brandishing of Way to the Dawn after falling into darkness. Her signature Gem Whip has been converted into a Keyblade, bearing a very threatening and spiky design full of sharp amethyst gemstones. Her costume is very torn and ragged with studded belts over her right leg, hip and shoulder, combining elements of her pilot and reformed outfit from the cartoon. The Crystal Gem sigilโa simple starโis seen on the stockings of her left leg. Her shoes are crystalline amethyst armour shoes. End ID]

[Image ID: "The Rose Thorn Triptych", a set of 3 illustrations featuring characters from Steven Universe examining the relationships most affected by Rose Quartz.
Left: Rose and Pearl have their hands intertwined in a dancer-like pose, but a tearful Pearl refuses to meet Rose's also tearful but hooded gaze. Rose has her free hand resting on the small of Pearl's back while Pearl is holding her cutlass in her free hand, but the cutlass is symbolically positioned in a way that impales Pearl's back and the sword tip directly pointed at Rose's stomach, at her gemstone.
Middle: Rose is gracefully holding Greg's chin in her hand, as Greg is jumping towards her, desperately gripping her wrist, looking at her tearfullyโฆ pleading Rose, begging her not to leave again. Rose also has her eyes hidden in this picture, but tears are obviously trailing down her cheeks.
Right: Steven is viewed from a top-down view surrounded by a bush of roses, crying as he has his head rested in Rose's lap. Rose is attempting to catch his tears with her hands, but is also crying herself. Steven is tightly gripping his chest, lifting his shirt and exposing his gemstone in place of Rose's. As he is doing this, both his hands are being held by an off-screen Greg and Pearl. End ID]

jeez this season of shibuya survivor was a trip. why did they just allow the shinjuku judges to hijack the game show like that smh?? uzuki shouldโve been conductor, it wouldโve made the whole thing smoother smh. rated 0/10 on imdb.
I meant to post this 2 years ago when melody of memory had just released because I thought it was irrevocably funny, and now there are probably countless variations of the same joke! and I didn't even finish the damn comic! too late to the party.
regardless, here is kairi being gaslighted by xehanort into playing a memory loss rhythm game, while sora and riku go hold hands on top of the 104 building
(what if we were both gaymer developers... ๐ฅบ๐น and we used game genre jumps as couple bonding activities... ๐ฎ๐ณ haha just kidding... unless? ๐๐
this manga is called 'game-ya BL' and can be read in Japanese here! thank you @oyajidesukara for scanlating this treasure of a BL!
my sibling was playing nier at the time I was rereading the manga, so my brain constructed an obtuse scenario where nobu and anan get accosted into cosplaying for a nier v1.22 promo event! maximum cringe
