man, screw you haters i love my boosic Clawdeen

one of the very few interesting purple dolls out there rn! to me!!!

ok ok yall ARE right about the vest (which i turned inside out lol) and glasses (i'm thinking about switching them with Clawdia's Lights Out ones)

my only prob with the overalls is that the inside is white so it's harder to do the suspenders down look and while polypropylene ain't the best doll hair it was fun to braid <3

This is all stream of consciousness so I’m sorry if this doesn’t make much sense. It’s also somewhat personal soul searching so i don’t know how useful this would be to reblog

But I’ve been thinking about fandom and how I interact with it as an adult for quite sometime now. How things can change over the course of just a few years, what trauma does and how it can even affect how one enjoys things, how much you can learn if you just listen to voices that aren’t heard fairly

I’ve been thinking about how, yes white fand0m has a negative effect on things, I’ve also been complicit in supporting awful things, even tangentially. Supporting age gaps that I should have made sure of, shipping pairings with young folk in them. I’m no angel I’ve done those things in the past (tho no ns/fw stuff thats super gross but it was still weird for a grown ass person to focus so much on it. The stuff I supported may seem minor in comparison but I feel like it was still contributing to an awful sensibility within fandom)

I stopped supporting that kind of stuff a while back. Maybe some people are okay with deluding themselves, of not caring about how young people are affected by the decisions of older folk. All I know is I don’t want to be the type of person that ignores others in order to support my own “fun”; I want to be the type of person that tries to do the right thing in all areas in my life, even frivolous things like fandom, because it’s the right thing to do

I don’t know what point I’m trying to make here, just that all adults in any fandom, particularly in fandoms Meant. For. Kids., gotta start thinking about these things. Start thinking about when you should take a step back. Do a little self evaluation, some navel gazing. I’m ashamed with how in general us adults handle things, lashing out at kids and then turn around and say that they’re “”elders””.

it’s high time we talked about it for real, because we were taught as kids by adults just like us. we were affected by their decisions. I’m not sure what a solution looks like (other than stop doing creepy shit) but it definitely ain’t going on tirades about how much of an “““elder”““ you are and calling minors ~ant1ant1s~ or whatever

I know I’ve said this before but it still trips me up that people in my generation think shr/ek 1 was “””too mean spirited””” to d*sney of all companies when we were watching stuff like the first 13 seasons of the si/mpsons, tiny to/ons and anim/aniacs, all of which had more cutting criticism and meanness than fuckin “welcome to Dulac” or however you spell it

Hell d*sney had a meaner take with encha/nted how did they get away with that

So mid-game-before-kh4/next arc-that’s-not-the-Xehanort-thing could have four possible storylines:

Dark realm shenanigans with the wayfinder trio

Memory shenanigans with the entire twilight town gang

Dream shenanigans with Kairi, Riku and mysterious third Sora-dreamchaser

An unholy combination of all three of these

Ofc I want that third one(and seems the most likely due to Nomura’s comments about the remind title screen) and I don’t know how much more we can learn about the dark realm or whatever it’s called, but the second one could be a good catch up title. The combo would be a mess but that’s kinda Kingdom Hearts’ brand. Hmm 🤔

[ebbywaffle]

One complaint I hear abt Destiny’s Embrace isn’t just that it’s “overly feminine” but that it kinda pours on almost all of Kairi’s theming one to one blade. Her love of flowers, the sea, and her home could have been three separate keyblades. While the latter complaint is more valid and thought out than the former one(there’s nothing inherently wrong with feminine weapons), I still like that about DE.

(I know that’s Aqua’s keychain. weirdly enough I don’t have Kairi’s on my phone shut up)

Think about it! Sora’s Kingdom Key has only one main theme: royalty. Riku’s Way to Dawn has two: darkness(*bass riff*) and light. And Kairi’s...has three! S Y M B O L I S M Kairi’s gonna be playable in KH3 evidence confirmed!!!

In addition, there are a few different ways to see the threes! There’s the stuff Kairi likes that I already mentioned. Then there’s the stuff that are Kairi’s symbols: the water(her name), the light(that ray on the shaft), and hearts.

And then there’s the hearts: the guard=land=Riku, the topmost blade=sky=Sora, and the smallest part=sea=herself. This also carries over to Master Aqua but that’s the only personal level it goes for her. (It also doesn’t say great things for both ladies self esteem 😕) Then there’s the colors: red, yellow and bl-

*cough* so yeah i thought a lot about this thing lol

But seriously, as much as I give Nomura a hard time abt how he treats her in the narrative, her keyblade ain’t the issue. He did put more thought into it than “let’s give the girl character a girly keyblade”.

[ebbywaffle]

Is an argument against Kairi really “She doesn’t have a real reason to want to be a keyblade wielder. She just wants to help that’s all.”?

Uh.

What’s wrong with that tho? It’s not always gonna be some “”deep””” reason, sometimes it’s as simple as “I’m saving the galaxy because my family, friends and stuff is there.” That’s more ~relatable~ and entertaining to me at times than yet another sob story (which she also has but haters wanna ignore that)
