An Artist Articulating That Things are Alright

Hiya, family! My name is Shanna and I'm a young Christian woman. As for my fandoms: I'm a huge Square Enix fan (despite their reconstructing taking forever -sobs-). I love Kingdom Hearts, Final Fantasy, The World Ends With You, Bravely Default, Parasite Eve... you name it. I'm really just a video game girly. Buffy and Angel are my life.

something i really really like about kairi is that she always wears tank tops

even her school uniform she rolled up her sleeves! it's such a fun little character quirk to keep consistent. she hates sleeves!

Because I feel like Steve Burton as Cloud and Quinton Flynn as Axel both read these lines very similarily, to be honest.

[oveliagirlhaditright]

I'm not making a post about every time someone flips their hair in the series. LOL (For instance, KHII Kairi isn't here.) So, you might be wondering why I've singled these two out. Well, for one thing they both happen in KHI. But it's mainly because I first played KHI with my sister and my sister's best friend, and they compared the Cloud and Aladdin scene--in talking about how graphics-wise, it works better for Cloud (with his light hair), where Aladdin's hand seems to get lost in his dark hair a little bit (graphically, that is). And they probably weren't entirely wrong. Thus, whenever I watch these two scenes, to this day I still think about that.

I'm curious: any KH fans making bingo sheets for D23?

Riku in the Limit Cut episode from Re:Mind: "His heart and his mind are made up. I believe in Sora."

Parallels.

[oveliagirlhaditright]

I love how Sora pets Bambi when he summons him. Because why wouldn't you?

[oveliagirlhaditright]

So, I knew Terra shouted "Unversed!" a lot, whenever he would see them appear in Birth by Sleep--and that that, unfortunately, is how Snow White misunderstands and thinks he's the one who summons them when they meet (and thinks he's trying to attack her with them)--but I didn't think he did so nearly as much as he does. I also did not realize that he says "I will set things right" at least three times in BbS.

Also, Xehanort sort of has a thing about saying the word "abyss." Young Xehanort does so twice (DDD and KHIII). But even Xehanort's Heartless/Ansem Seeker of Darkness does in Kingdom Hearts I.

[majingojira]

So, Terra channels Harry Ord?

[oveliagirlhaditright]

I didn't know who Harry Ord was until seeing this. I probably should have, and am undoubtedly going to feel embarrassed now in having said that. Haha. But after seeing the clip you just sent... yeah? Definitely a little bit, yeah. I think so. LOL

[oveliagirlhaditright]

Lately, I've been watching a lot of streamers play Kingdom Hearts for the first time (which is letting me relive the games in order again, and also notice a number of things I hadn't before:))

And I clocked that in KHI, Sora grabs Riku's face (his mouth), when he runs into him in Traverse Town, to make sure he isn't hallucinating him (like he thought he had been his "visions" of Kairi). And then in Dream Drop Distance, when Sora and Riku are in different imaginings of Traverse Town, Riku tries to grab Sora's face.

[jewelkat16]

True, it's very cute and sweet.

But my question is, why the face? Or specifically, the mouth? Why did Sora specifically grab Riku's mouth? Does Destiny Island have myths about skin-walkers or something? Does he know Riku's dental work? Just for funsies? I just don't get it!

[oveliagirlhaditright]

From the outside looking in/the developers' standpoint, I think they did so to have it be a funny moment, of course.

Inside the inside looking in, I have no idea. LOL. But I love some of the explanations that you've come up with!

[oveliagirlhaditright]

Everyone is so confused about whether or not there's going to be a livestream for KH or not at D23. It sure is wonderful, I say sarcastically. Hopefully things will clear up in the coming days...

[oveliagirlhaditright]

I really do miss small, simple stuff about Kingdom Hearts I. I always miss small, simple stuff about KHI. I'm the KHI girl. But dansg08 in his recent playthrough of Kingdom Hearts I (his first time ever playing the game) brought up the great point that he felt like the experiments in Deep Jungle felt like an early preview for synthesis in the game (obviously, he hadn't gotten to item synthesis in KHI yet as synthesis hasn't opened up at that point). And he wasn't entirely wrong.

And whether you feel like that was partly its purpose or not, that was just a neat thing that they gave to Deep Jungle--another thing for you to do there, that is--that the other games don't have as much.

This past week I've been incredibly busy.

I never thought a move would lead me to botae and orphan...so much...woah

Anyway, I didn't want to leave Island Day out of it just yet, so I made a (not so) quick drawing.

I would have liked to think of another dynamic with the two of them, but as I said, I was short on time :,u

I hope i be more creative in the next one.

And for Axel day you get a comic set to a song about a ginger guy being willing to sacrifice anything and anyone to save a dear friend of his. You know.
