Alright. Say Ava did the killing. Can we have your honest assessment on the likeliness of her doing such a dark deed? Is it in character? How do you think the story could parse such a major betrayal of a sympathetic character?

Anonymous asked: I agree that Ava is the most likely to have killed Strelitzia however my concern lies in the fact that I’m not convinced Nomura is brave enough to have a female character be the killer. I know that sounds dumb but his tract record with female characters isn’t the best so I’m worried he won’t go through with it. Even with Larxene who has more of a negative personality than the other girls, at the end of the day as Elrena she’s not that negative/antagonistic of a character.

So I figured I’ll answer both these asks with one answer.

For Anon, yes I definitely see where you’re coming from. That’s lowkey why I don’t know if I believe Ava has a direct connection with Kairi or her Grandmother. The Grandmother I think is more likely, but either way Nomura has clearly shown he has absolutely zero interest in Kairi. And he’s barely shown interest in Namine. Xion and Aqua are the two lady characters Nomura has developed the most. But that’s why I understand you when you say is he brave enough to do this. In my opinion, if Nomura truly does have Ava kill another girl, it shows he has more potential (not a lot, but a little) to really dive into a female’s character and see what they’re capable of. 

And for Kit, I think it may be why Nomura wrote Gula saying stuff along the lines of “She always does the right thing.” or “Always walking the straight and narrow.” because it shows how far she’s come in her determination to rebel against the Master. 

Nomura did say, “At any rate, if you think of the story progression as a gun, where Ava is the only one with the capacity to pull that gun’s trigger, I’m not so sure about how devoid of sin she really is…” So whether or not she killed Strelitzia, whether or not she is Darkness, Nomura clearly is hinting at the possibility of Ava’s pure intentions and actions being tainted.

In a strange way, I think if it really is Ava who did it, then this will be the biggest jump of a females character development he’s ever done in KH. A bigger jump then Anti Aqua. And fuck maybe if it’ll open his eyes towards more possibilities in writing women, then maybe I’m for it after all lmao. Kinda sucks that the victim was a girl too though. So it’s not a perfect set up lmao.

You had mentioned in your Scala ad Caelum ask about the debate of whether the ending scene before the credits was happening literally or figuratively and I'm curious as to what your honest take is on that. I'm convinced it was literally happening for a multitude of reasons but I definitely understand those in the "it's symbolic" camp for sure. It's so intentionally vague though, I don't think there's a 100% right answer.

The weird fucking thing with Nomura and some of the cinematic scenes he does is that even if they start off being figurative, they tend to end up literal in the end LOL. Like Deep Dive was supposed to just show off possible ideas for future KH, and now look at it, it’s literally a scene in KH2 and Days haha! So far the only cinematic scene I can think of that never actually happened was the BbS trio pulling Sora, Riku, and Mickey’s keyblades in vanilla KH2′s secret ending.

Nomura does have a better grasp on KH’s future though then he did at the time of KH1 and KH2′s secret endings, so maybe he won’t change his mind this time around.

I think, it’s a weird mixture of both. I think at one point, Sora does fade away while talking to Kairi, maybe it’s just in a different setting right after he saves her. Perhaps it’s like 0.2′s opening of Sora grabbing Aqua’s hand and him actually doing it in KH3. They’re similar shots of course, but one is more abstract, not happening in a particular area (and it’s KH2 sora) while the other is literally happening IN the realm of darkness. So perhaps there will be a time in KH3′s DLC or the next KH game overall that Sora and Kairi are talking, and Sora literally fades away this time.

And another idea that struck me a couple days ago (though i have NO hard evidence for this so take this with a grain of salt, just throwing the idea out there) is that perhaps if Kairi actually did die, and her heart went the Final World, which is a place Sora can actually go to on his own without dying as we know from KH3, it’s possible he went there to retrieve her. But maybe he could only do it if he switched places (a life for a life), or maybe he did abuse the power of waking like Young Xehanort warned him against and his fading is his punishment, idk! But that is a possibility if that scene is more abstract and not as literal.

But in all honesty my mind is completely open for other possibilities, so if you have a post or want to make a post on why you think it’s literally happening i would LOVE to read it!!

Birdmen ask meme--> 12, 17, 18 *whoooosh*

12: How would you react to the existence of Birdmen?

I’d think that it’s really cool and that I would want to meet a birdman, but i wouldn’t go out of the way to find them/find out more about them.

17: Favorite headcanon?

My favorite headcanon is that tsubame and rei get along very well and are little shits that like to light-heartedly tease eishi. My other favorite headcanon is that tsubame and arthur would get along really well if they had met. :(

18: What are some off-panel moments that you’ve always wished to see?

i cant think of anything major, which is a testament to tanabe’s writing, but for something minor i think it would be cool to see how takayama caught rei and kamoda in their hide and seek game way from the beginning

[lackadaisical-pottymouth]

Headcanon ask: all the bird club #9

Aye Capn!

General physical contact headcanon

Eishi-

Okay, so, lil birb doesn’t like invasive touch–like, if he knows it’s coming he might appreciate a pat or something, but if he doesn’t he just kinda reacts against it like it’s a foreign object. He’d survive the alien invasion or scratch the heck out of some folks while trying. He prefers his own lil space and he’ll stick to that plx and thx BUT! I kinda headcanon that boundaries aren’t a thing when he gets to know someone? Like, the second he registers that you’re a friend your stuff and personal space may as well have “Eishi Karasuma” written on it. Your couch? our couch. And it’s not even like he knows he’s doing it–it’s just kind of subconcious. He’ll just progressively get more touchy once he knows he’s allowed to. Usually when he’s hyped/excited about something and not thinking about it, then you get a face full of Eishi. He’s initiative with his touch I guess. 

Kamoda-

Kamoda seems p casual with touch? I headcanon that it’s not too big of a deal for him, though he does respect boundaries. He’ll like, do highfives or rub shoulders, but it’s not as though he shies away from that nor encourages it. 

With Eishi, though, I think the boundaries blur a lot? Like he’ll squisk his head like a basketball and he’ll give him a noogie and its No Big Deal.

I kinda headcanon that Kamoda tries/tried to emulate a lot of Eishi’s stealth mode stuff when they were younger? Like his blending in, being able to pop up unsuspectingly. He only really applies it when he’s around the bball club. 

Takayama- 

Lil birb has no boundaries. He’s one with the world. Every tree is an extension of himself. He can hear the colours of the wing (it was supposed to be ‘wind’ but I like the pun the typo made) However! I kinda think it’s the way that he experiences the world? Like he goes out and he touches things and that’s how he learns. That one kid that didn’t listen when the parents are like “don’t touch the FIRE” or “The ants are evil will you stop poking that they will eat you and i will not cry” 

Tsubame-

Okay, weirdly enough, I kinda headcanon that Tsubame doesn’t like being touched? Like I think that she takes comfort in touch, but she’s not a casual-touch kinda person. It’s not like she’ll flip away from you if you give a highfive, but even when she’s sharing with people she’ll be some distance away. Personal space where there isn’t, kind of thing. An aftereffect of having to spend a lot of time with a sibling in a small area

Sagisawa- 

I kinda headcanon that Rei will try (consciously or unconsciously) to avoid contact. Either with his body language or physically just...not. So like, hands in pockets or holding onto something if a person who’s v touchy is around. Or being very aware of the way that other people are moving. I think it’s an after effect of both the environment he grew up in, as well as having to deal with his shortlived “fans” crowding him. He’d rather watch people than initiate. 

But I also like the idea that he really really likes casual touch. Like you know how people get when cats decide to touch them? That’s Rei when a person he’s okay with even brushes his pinkie.

kitsoa replied to your photo “HMMMMMM. Is his mark hurting? Was he stopping himself from...”

i definitely see this as him surpressing his wings from coming out. Rei mentioned how they respond to various emotions and this whiteout is triggering some strong feelings. It's almost primal, I love it.

It’d be a bit of a regression (or maybe have something set earlier, hm), but I’d like to see more exploration of when their emotions DO go wild and there’s more shattered bedrooms or something.

kitsoa replied to your photo   “¦Karasuma, are you okay. Yeah, I know you’re not, but WOW do you look...”

  Eden is getting to them through their parents~~~ bad news.                    

Haaaa, yeah...

kitsoa replied to your photoset  “Yoooo, I’m liking the imagery here! And nice development of powers! 8D...”

                       to be specific Umino can establish a bond with humans that allows her to hear them as she would her fellow seraph. it is that link that eishi then manipulates the humans whereas he was only able to control other seraphim.                    

Ooooh, okay, thanks for the clarification! 8D

@kitsoa to me drawing encompasses every step of it (thumbnail/panel planning - sketch - lineart (foreground and background) - color/lighting/both (foreground and background)), so it feels personally silly to separate coloring when drawing encompasses everything and the other steps were not mentioned hahaha
