so imagine like. you have this coworker. and hes an asshole in general, you dont like him, nobody else likes him. but the relevant thing is that he is just really, really into arthurian legend. very into medieval literature, very into the post-roman anglo saxons, doesnt really strike you as the nerdy type but he knows a lot about it. he spends a bunch of work hours researching allegedly arthurian artifacts, and even pulls rank and convinces one of your other coworkers to also research this stuff (by lying and saying one of the higher-ups wanted it). in fact, he claims his entire motivation for working at this job is that your boss has promised to give him an actual 5th century sword. but it's like. you dont know how much of this to take seriously. it wouldnt be out of character for him to be entirely bullshitting you. so whatever.
and then after you quit and the company falls apart and you think youre never gonna see him again, you find out that your asshole coworker is, actually, Sir Lancelot, and him working at that job was all part of his preparation for the return of the actual King Arthur.
that would be the experience of everybody who was in Organization XIII finding out that Xigbar is Luxu.
Hello! I saw you made a lot of fics about Ventus and I thought of something new.
What if we (gender neutral) are actually a knight but not the hero kind but more of the fallen/oath breaker type, with heavy armors and more of a dark aura, but we aren't actually evil, we're more like broken soul and misanthropist. We have some sort of gloomy personality and intimidating attire. I was surprised no one has thought of something like that on Kingdom Hearts.
I don't know how happy I would be if you did something like that because it has a special place in my heart 🥲 yk the grumpy x sunshine?
A/N: oh you have NOOOOO idea how much I’ve wanted to write this… and I MAY be using this trope in my actual novel I’m writing…
Where’s My Soul? Where’s My Heart?
Ventus x Reader (GN)
“The heart is a funny thing isn’t it? It makes us feel all sorts of emotions: joy, sadness, anger, fear…
But all I feel is this the emptiness where a heart should be.
How long has it been like this? I’ve spent years upon years chasing the thing I’ve called “redemption” for so long, how many eons have I truly spent in this never ending circle? What have I not done to fix this mistake I made? What else is there left to do?”
The day has been long enough, looking for the girl I was supposed to bring back to the king. I figured I might as well, maybe I’ll get something at the end of the day. Maybe I’ll finally find the end to this continuous cycle.
“Maybe there’s an end to-“
Something dark darted out from the corner of my eye, seeing a small black shape fly across my vision before I could even strike.
“Definitely not a weapon. Too small to be a danger, at least to me.”
The dark onyx armor over my body clung tightly to me, Great Sword on my back as the helmet on my head stayed attached to my shoulders and head. The three fairies were just beyond this mountain pass, hidden deep in the forest. I didn’t care to ask and I didn’t care for a reason. Behind me, the castle grew smaller and smaller as the walk grew longer and longer, exhaustion not even on my mind as the path began to lead into a narrow space between the hills.
“There’s bound to be some sort of trouble ahead. Better keep my guard up.”
The royal family mentioned these weird shadow creatures popping up around the kingdom, seeming to come from what they called The Dark Fairy’s castle. There’s no doubt I’ll have to run into them… whatever that is.
“I doubt this dark fairy will be-“
A loud scream and thump was heard just ahead of me, the scream sounding like someone had gotten into trouble.
“Oh great now what?”
I ran ahead, feeling the heavy weight of my armor push down on my shoulders, my shin armor doing its best not to get in the way while my feet dragged along the path.
“I should’ve listened to Terra and Aqua… cause now I’m stuck here!”
A young boy with spiky blonde hair hung upside down with his leg caught in a tree, seeming to be struggling to get unstuck from about fifteen feet in the air. Gravity seemed to be keeping him from moving his torso up and grab his ankle, just dangling from the tree as I approached. His eyes darted to me, seeming to smile as he realized help had arrived.
“Oh finally somebody found me! Can you help me get down from here?”
The branch snapped as his words came out, falling onto his back as I approached him. He quickly stood up, rubbing the back of his head and looking around. I noticed his blue eyes wandering around the environment, finally settling on me. The metal armor on his shoulder hung a little low, as if he landed on it by accident. His clothes seemed unfamiliar to what I’ve seen others wear here, as if he was a stranger to this place.
“Sorry about that.” He laughed
“Are you alright?”
“Oh me? I’m perfectly fine but thanks for asking! What’s your name?”
His smile was wide, the blue of his eyes as bright as the sky, gleaming with a sense of wonder and joy as he looked me over once more.
“I’m-“
“That’s some pretty cool protection you got there! Can I try it?! That’s a pretty cool blade you got there too!”
This boy was rambling, seeming to be too full of energy and not knowing what to do with it.
“Oh right my names Ventus but you can call me Ven! Have you seen my friends? I’m looking for them. One is kinda tall and intimidating but his names Terra. The other one is a girl with short blue hair and her names Aqua. Have you seen them?”
“N-no. Sorry. I haven’t seen your friends.”
“Aw man. I was so sure they’d be here.”
“Do they have any relation to why you got stuck in the tree?”
He blushed, seeming to realize his fatal mistake of a landing… if I would even call it that.
“Well uh… sort of? I got lost trying to escape from-“
Tiny shadowy beings crawled from the ground, zipping around both of us as the way forward became blocked by thorns.
“Oh great more of them.” He whined
“You know what these are?”
“Yeah. They’re called Unversed. I was hoping I wasn’t going to run into any trying to find my friends. Just my luck I guess.”
One jumped at me, making me punch it and sending it back into the bushes as one jumped Ven.
“Got any ideas there Ven?”
“Working on it!”
He jumped into the air, slicing at three of them with what looked like a giant key in his hand. He held it backwards, opposite of how most people held weapons. More flooded in from the forest, making us both look towards the thorns covering the way forward.
“We gotta go forward!”
“Are you crazy?! That’s-“
From his blade came a large fireball, burning the thorns to ash as he ran ahead.
“Come on!”
Some time later…
Who knows how far we ran, but we eventually came to a clearing with a small pond and surrounded by circle of trees, a small house just beyond the tree line. Ven sat down, panting like he was out of breath. He seemed stressed, relaxing only as he saw me stop and look around.
“Never did catch your name.”
“My names not important. We have bigger issues ahead of us.”
“You’re right.”
He stood up, eyes focusing on the house ahead of us just down the path.
“I’m looking for someone.”
“Aside from your friends?”
“Yeah. I think my friends are looking for her too.”
“Wow. Your target must be pretty popular for a group of you to be looking for her.”
“Target? She’s not a target she’s just someone I’m trying to help.”
“But you want something out of it.” I answered taking off my helmet
“I didn’t say that!”
“You didn’t need to.” I put bluntly with a shrug
I sat down on a tree stump, wiping my forehead as i sighed with relief.
“I’m not a bad guy. I just want to help.”
I looked him up and down, my eyes drifting to a light green star shaped pendant hanging off a pocket on his side. I looked back up at him, some sort of strange feeling made me want to trust him. I mean, so far he hasn’t tried to kill me or lead me into danger, or maybe my mind could be playing tricks on me.
“Never mind. It passed now.”
“What passed? You look like you wanna punch me.”
His bright blue eyes gleamed at me with mischief… what did this kid want from me?
“It was nothing. Just a dumb question I asked myself.”
“And what would that be?”
I stood up, both of us locked onto each other for what felt like ages. I wanted to grab my sword so bad and smack him with the handle to knock him out.
“I don’t want to fight, I just wanna find my friends. I’m not here to cause any trouble.”
“And I’ve got a job to do. I’m not going to change my plans for a stranger.”
“Maybe I can help.”
“With what? Getting us lost? Almost getting me killed?”
“Okay both of those were an accident but if you help me, I’ll help you, deal?”
Ven seemed to have no ill intentions with whatever he had planned, just wanting to find his friends quickly. All I could do was just smack myself in the head mentally for whatever dumb situation I was about to get stuck in.
(... I don't like him either. Or Axel and Saix if that is okay)
LOL go off <3 i like a lot of what they do with axel and saix in kh2 and especially days, where so much of it is in the past or offscreen. but the more focus they get the weaker it is, and i really fucking hate the direction they've been taking in the last few games. aqua needs to tell deadpool axel to kill himself again and again til it sticks
If the dalmatians appear all over the worlds in chests bc Cruella de Vil stuffed them in there before the world was lost to darkness, does that imply that Sora could find a random coffin during KH4 and just find. Vincent asleep in there
If you don't mind, for the ask game, what about C from the RED section for your fav KH character :3
YEEEE HELLO YAAYY, PATO ILU HIII 🥰🥰🥰
My fav KH character is such a surprise to everyone I'm sure 🤣
C. Do they like physical intimacy (holding hands, cuddling, sex)?
I think Roxas is naturally not physical with people - in canon he was born and lived without any touch or physical affection, and probably doesn't realise the lack. BUT with the right person... 🥰 I think physical affection becomes suddenly very important and a way to express himself and communicate feelings that are too difficult for him to voice. Plus, someone who is able to get him so vulnerable and affectionate in an intimate moment would have to be very special to him, to break down his walls and make him feel comfortable 🥰 I think Roxas would find it easier to express himself physically than verbally a lot of the time regarding big feelings. Could be shy about initiating physical intimacy but once it's there he'd hang on tight 😂🥰🥰🥰
