The Amazing Digital Heart

I had the idea of a Kingdom Hearts inspired adventure for the longest time after seeing art of it on tiktok and finally put it into form the last day of the new year. I now have 14 chapters out for it with many more on the way. I've slowly gotten more comfortable with sharing around the internet as I love what I've done so far and can't wait to do more for others to enjoy!

I can't believe that there's been more people than I thought that also had this idea. For those of you that are interested I plan on doing updates the 20th of every month. You can find the fic here:

I am unsure how fanfic handles on tumbler, but for those that want to read it here as well let me know and I'll get to work on it. I plan on posting to instagram talking about this and posting status updates.

Let me know if you have any questions and I'll answer them as time goes on!

Blast Away with the Chapter 14 release!

https://archiveofourown.org/works/76759886/chapters/225068666

A month later and Chapter 14 is done! I'm really liking how I've slowed down in making the story at least feel better to put out. I will say that I the Gangle side story is going to be taking a back seat as I figure out how to do that story. The last update I've got is that I'm trying to branch out into other forms of media so that more people can enjoy what I've made! Nothing that wont interrupt the writing workflow that I've already done.

Chapter 13 release!

https://archiveofourown.org/works/76759886/chapters/219961321

Wow 15 days after my last solo post..... I took awhile on this didn't I? After this I'll start work on the Gangle side story and Chapter 14. No promises on which one will be done first, but I certainly look forward to all the reactions for the side story. I'm also working on getting art for the characters done!!!

Jax Analysis?? Maybe??

Im gonna start this off saying i am not the best at this kind of thing. I only go off of what context i have and my own personal experiences with situations and the types of aspects so this is in no way anything other than my own views on Jax as a character. If you feel other ways about him as a character and such that is your right to feel that way and have that opinion. Im not doing this to target anyone's opinion but just share my own. "Jax is a terrible person"

I personally cant see him as such. Im not excusing his actions and i do believe he should apologize and own up to his actions. But what i mean by i cant see him as such is due to having dealt with far worse people growing up. Some of my favorite characters are Vegeta and Bakugo. Vegeta was a terrible person. Man killed planets worth of people working for Frieza and such. And yet he redeemed himself, owned up to what he had done and faced his consequences for his actions and got better.

Bakugo was a huge bully who said and did some pretty nasty things as a 14 year old and up, and yet he grew from this. Learned to accept help from others and also learned to deal with his weaknesses and grow to be am amazing pro hero and proper rival for Midoriya.

That being said, Jax, to me, is no where near this level of asshole. Yes he is an asshole and he does some shit he shouldn't. But to me a lot of what he does feels very....high schooler who plays video games and watches movies level of asshole. But its nothing he cant come back from if he chooses to change. That is a big IF and trust me i know. He has to want to do better. Will he? i have no idea. I just know that it doesn't seem like Pomni is giving up on him, no matter how many ppl thinks she should. Something does bother me though, and this is honestly just a question ive asked myself as someone who has witnessed stuff before and brought it up in a situation. If Jax is such a terrible person that he has been so horrible to Gangle specifically, why hadn't anyone stood up to him sooner? Why did it take Pomni getting there for anyone to say something or anything? Why did he get away with acting like this for so long? i think someone should of punched him a lot sooner if he was doing really messed up things. I know im a bit all over the place, my thoughts are scattered but i have to type them or they will vanish. Again these are simply my thoughts and just going off of my own past experiences with people IRL who he reminds me of. Granted im not sure how many ppl would be able to deal with being put in to this situation with a bunch of strangers and expected to just play nice like its some sort of daycare run by Caine. I know i probably wouldn't. The floor would of given me a headache day one. And yea i probably would of choke slammed Jax had he put spiders anywhere near my room. I would of thrown hands. Anyways tell me what you think if you want! I love discussing things with other fans. Yea i love this dumbass rabbit but i also know he has a lot of work he needs to do in order to be better. Let him face his consequences though. Him staying or abstracting just.....feels like a way out of that imo.

[venarite]

From what we know of Jax he hasn't yet crossed the line towards Vegeta and Bakugo. While there are theories that Jax may have affected Ribbit's abstraction we have no actual proof.

With the facts we have we know that Jax likes to torment people he doesn't want to have any permanent affect on them. Unlike Vegeta whose committed multiple genocides and Bakugo literally telling Izuku to throw himself off the school building.

Jax is known for keeping at a distance and when people try to get to close do his best to push them away like he doesn't care. He torments everyone in someway: Gangle with how she expresses herself, Ragatha on being so nice, calling Caine on Zooble, and the fight with Pomni. Technically the potato on Kinger's face would count, but Kinger said he was fine with it(?)

Jax has yet to actually hurt someone permanently so he shouldn't be in the same tier of evil person that other terrible characters are.

[jessironi89]

I will say, as someone who looks hard into both Vegeta and Bakugo's characters. Out of the two, Vegeta is the one who did the worst, and yet he has come back from even that and became a better person. So he in fact, is not a terrible character by far. He has an amazing redemption arc and has gone so far as to full circle where he once was killing to now he is saving. He used to be a terrible person yea, but that shifted so hard. But he had YEARS to grow compared to many others who dont. Bakugo is one i will stand by when i say, people use the "told Izuku to throw himself off a building" line so much that they ignore the fact that, one: his friends even made the comment that he has never said that before and he crossed a line, two: Izuku was mad but never held it against him. 14 year olds are mean as shit and say and do dumb stuff. Bakugo is not a terrible character by far and has my most favorite character arc of any anime i have ever watched. And all of his character development was within a year and a halfs time. Time that again, some characters dont get. These two characters have the ability to walk away from situations if they need to. Jax unfortunately do not. Circumstance is everything. Back to Jax. Man has the absolute worst coping mechanism. He doesn't see the place or them as real. Not even himself. At least that was the case until episode 8. Hes been going off of game and cartoon logic to the point he convinced himself that it didnt matter what he did to the others. None of it was real so it didnt matter. Why take things so seriously if in the end they were all just a bunch of cartoon characters in a game? Is this a horrible comping mechanism? Yes absolutely. But its how he deals with things just like how the others have their own as well. This is a group of ppl trapped in a situation they didnt ask to be in that have no choice but to interact and be stuck dealing with things. But it seems that until Pomni showed up, they never bothered getting to know each other outside of their own little circles. Only thing is, Jax's circle got dwindled down to one. And again, even if he messes with ppl in the way he does, the fact that no one stood up to him or the like or just laid him out with a punch makes me feel like they were all willing to accept these archetypes and situations even though they werent ok with them. inaction is harmful too.

[venarite]

Absolute cinema. Don't know how I can agree more

I think most people (at least me) forget that just standing and watching whats happening are also complicit in it as well. So even if your stuck in am impossible situation the worst thing you could do is make someone think they aren't wanted or loved.

Sidenote: Vegeta and Bakugo are amazing characters with amazing arcs. I realize now I may have implied they are terrible characters by accident when talking about their history. Not my intention nor do I think that. They are amazing characters and the stories they come from wouldn't be the same without them.

Happy Easter to all! I'll be treating my mental health this easter by going a little bit slower on making the story mainly due to burnout and life happening. Chpater 13 is nearly halfway to standards (I like to at least having 2k words per chapter)

Have a fun fact in the meantime: During the writing for Zooble's side story I looked into the Org 13 weapons and decided that the weapon Zooble would get would be based on how Caine sees Zooble. While Zooble isn't lazy they tend to always work towards avoiding wor- I mean adventures! Therefore they got Demyx's weapon. The role they'll play in the story though will play more like a different org memeber that I hope you have memorized.

Jax offical design!

Heres the first iteration of Jax's design for The Amazing Digital Heart!

Sadly it does come with a cost of Chapter 13 being late but its coming along nicely. Nothing else much to add otherwise and slowly chugging a long.

Zooble Side Story release!!

Finished up the chapter today! If you have been keeping up this one has been a doozy to finish up. I got about halfway through befoe getting stuck.

Here you all go!

(Late) Chapter 12 release and Zooble Side Story Delay

Yes I know the post here is late. I need to get better at coordinating posts. Chapter 12 is finished!

https://archiveofourown.org/works/76759886/chapters/215350836

Zooble side story had to be delayed due to the heat making it very hard to finish. I would say it's about halfway done and should be able to be finished up here soon (before the 29th hopefully).

Chap 13 hasn't been quite started yet due to wanting to focus on the side story. I have complete confidence that it will be ready by the First of April.

Update

Wow I totally meant to post here last night but allergies were kicking me pretty bad. I'll just say verbatim what I said on instagram for those that only follow here.

Recents events caused me to make a trip to the ER. I am fine now though slowed down the creative process. I've been taking care of myself otherwise and doing my best to be on time with the original release dates and the backup one I have. Watched ep 8 which was wild and made me feel more inspired for what I want to do with this story. In the meantime Chap 12 and Zooble side story will be released together on the 25th if possible without too much issue. Chap 12 is about 3/4ths of the way done and the side story has only really gotten about 5% more since the last update for it (45%). I'll try to be more open with whats going on here so I don't just leave everyone in the dark that was interested most likley through stories on instagram @ venar.ite For those worried I am losing steam and may drop this story fear not! I have plans for up to the second game and days so writing this may take as long as kingdom hearts 4 comes out! I also have many plans for other adventures the cast may go on if I need to take a break from writing this one (seriously I have at least 10 other ones).

[venarite]

Chapter 12 delay!

I'm sure for those that are following right now will have assumed I have pushed back this chapter release date to this Saturday! I recently had to go to the ER and had a few staples in my head. I've been doing my best to recover while not stressing too much!

Chap 12 and Zoobles Dive should be ready by this Saturday and Chap 13 is planned to be out on the regular day! In the meantime enjoy ep 8 coming out and having a chapter after that!

[venarite]

Chapter 11 release!

https://archiveofourown.org/works/76759886/chapters/213134411

Chapter 11 is here and work on the main story is chugging along! Honestly no work has been done on the side content just due to passion/attention being pulled elsewhere. I did have an epiphany recently to help with how I want to story to go though so it'll help how I want to structure stories that are past the first game/adventure!

[venarite]

Chapter 10 release!

https://archiveofourown.org/works/76759886/chapters/211684971

I am aware that AO3 has been up and down a lot and had me really consider just pasting the chapter here, but a worry I have is people stumbling upon the chapter not knowing what they got themselves into.

I nearly gave myself burnout trying to have the side stories worked on in the process, but I learned that since they aren't the main story I can take as long as I want on them. That doesn't mean they are leaving just that the original plan I had for them is slowing down.

[venarite]

Chapter 9 release!

Chapter 9 of The Amazing Digital Heart is out!

https://archiveofourown.org/works/76759886/chapters/210735896

The Zooble Dive took a backseat while I did this chapter and Side stories as a whole has less of a schedule but I would say its about 40% of the way done. I'll be finishing that up while working on Chapter 10!

[venarite]

Chapter 8 release and Side story update!

Chapter 8 of The Amazing Digital Heart is out!

Update on this chapter for TADH!

The Chapter is finished up just some final touches and working on side story stuff as well! Its some prep to get off the island (not unlike the raft prep the trio did!!!) and show what may be happening outside of it to!

Still deciding on if I should post Chapters here as well and once this chapter goes out or if I should use this here as an "extra content" area where I answer some plot stuff that may confuse people.
